Watch out, vamps! The Vikings are comin' through!

Sound like a cheerleader's battle cry? That's because it is.

New Moon star Dakota Fanning has returned to her typical teenager life at North Hollywood's Campbell Hall Episcopal High School, where she does her own impressive stunt work as a cheerleader for the home team, pom-poms and all.

And, not unlike her dominance over young Hollywood, the 15-year-old totally rules the school. Seriously, who needs an Oscar when you've already been named homecoming princess?! The flowers are the same and a tiara totally trumps a statuette because you can wear it as a badge of honor!

Plus, we're guessing Miss Fanning got to a take a twirl around the dance floor Friday night with lucky number 47. Not too shabby!

David Beckham couldn't look bad no matter how hard he tried.

That said, we really haven't been digging that scraggly beard he's been sporting of late.

Thankfully, there's a good explanation. No, it's not some sort of strange soccer ritual—he's just trying to channel Hugh Jackman.

"Halloween's coming up and I was thinking of Wolverine from X-Men," he told the U.K.'s Daily Star. "It's not some playoff ritual. I'm just lazy and can't be bothered to shave. And everybody keeps telling me to cut it off and I'm stubborn."

With those eyes and abs, the image of Mr. Posh Spice trick-or-treating with sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz is still howlingly hot...but we're sure hoping he takes a razor to that scruff come Sunday.

It's not often that we agree with Sarah Palin this strongly.

The former Republican vice presidential nominee has been known to state the preposterous, but calling her daughter's baby daddy desperate hits below the belt and right on the money.

Levi Johnston, who will be showing all of his assets in an upcoming issue of Playgirl, appeared on The Early Show Wednesday morning and claimed the former Alaska governor refers to her infant son with Down syndrome, Trig, as "retarded."

"We have purposefully ignored the mean-spirited, malicious and untrue attacks on our family," Bristol Palin's mom said in a statement. "We, like many, are appalled at the inflammatory statements being made or implied. Trig is our 'blessed little angel' who knows it and is lovingly called that every day of his life. Even the thought that anyone would refer to Trig by any disparaging name is sickening and sad."

And then comes the big finish.

"Consider the source of the most recent attention-getting lies—those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention and are likely to say and do anything for even more attention."

Hey, she said it!

How does one choose between Brad Pitt and Rosie O'Donnell?

We're not sure we know (or want to know), but at some point Angelina Jolie was faced with that conflict. At least, according to Rosie.

The talk-show icon blabbed to Howard Stern on Sirius XM radio about a time before she was married to Kelli Carpenter and Angelina had tied the knot with Billy Bob Thornton. A romance, she claimed, was a-bloomin'.

"She gave me her phone number," Rosie said. "We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that. There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through."

Fear got the best of Rosie and she wasn't able to seal the deal.

"I was a little afraid of her," she said. "She's scary in a sexual kind of way. I have dreams about her a lot still."

We'd say TMI, but our jaws are still on the floor.

The erstwhile Lara Croft isn't the only bone the flower picked during the interview. She also offered some insight into the rocky state of affairs of her marriage, as well as her thoughts on the relationship between Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King.

Times Square may not be the most romantic place on earth, but the apex of New York City is ripe for reunions.

When it was announced that Sienna Miller and Jude Law would be taking the title roles of After Miss Julie and Hamlet on Broadway at the same time, gossip lovers (and haters) gasped. Who can forget all the drama the exes caused during their tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship from 2004 to 2006?

Well, as should come as no surprise to anyone, rumors have begun that the blond beauty is over Balty, the baby-daddy is over babies and the two of them have become romantically entangled yet again.

"Sienna and Jude have met up a few times and got on really well," a source tells the U.K.'s OK! magazine, which even says a spokesperson confirmed the face time to them.

Hmmm...

Eclipse may have already rocked its wrap party, but the goodies from the third installment of the Twilight Saga have only just begun.

Amidst all the fun that's kicking off with New Moon hitting theaters in 25 days, the Eclipse title treatment isn't necessarily the most exciting Twi-thing going down, but it's sure worth the tease.

No, it doesn't feature new images of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart making out or anything, but we totally know there'll be plenty of that next year when the film comes out.

Eclipse gets a much sharper, daggerlike makeover than New Moon had, and sits in blood red shadows. Very ominous. Kind of like Dakota Fanning's scary red eyes.

The Twilight Twitter launched the image earlier than it had promised—it vowed to show us the title when it eclipsed 200,000 followers and it's still nowhere close. But instead, it's promising something else just as tantalizing when it hits that big number, so you might want to hit that "follow" button.

Not enough action to jump start your week? Hold on to your seats, folks...

There's already so much good stuff going on in Total Eclipse!

This new scene from New Moon is going to make you flip.

Kristen Stewart did. Literally.

The 45-second, Taylor Lautner-free snippet shows K.Stew, Robert Pattinson and Ashley Greene facing the Volturi—played by Michael Sheen, Jamie Campbell Bower and Christopher Hayerdahl—in Italy for the first time.

"What do we do with you now?" Aro asks. "You already know what you're going to do," Marcus responds. "She knows too much. She's a liability," Caius threatens, before Aro orders Felix into attack mode.

And then...flip! Edward tosses Bella over his arm to get between them. A high-flying fight ensues.

It's actually pretty sweet.

The world simply cannot go on if Jennifer Aniston is single.

Since she's not really dating her Bounty costar Gerard Butler anymore—was she ever?—it's time to assume the 40-year-old is ready to go backwards and rekindle her romance with John Mayer.

If the new cover of OK! magazine is to be believed, she's confirmed "He's Mine!" and they're totally back to being "full-time lovers." And she got the 32-year-old "Who Says" singer back by doing exactly what any dating guru (or six-year-old) would advise: by playing hard to get.

The mag even claims the two are plotting a baby, because what would a Jen Aniston story be without the pitter-patter of tiny feet?

Revelations of the reunion of the crooner and the cougar aren't new. People and Us have quoted sources calling them "great friends," but reported recent hotel stays in the same breath.

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar and their almost 19 kids had better watch out.

The Octomom has eyes for the octodad...and, together, they'd have a whopping 22 offspring to raise.

Nadya Suleman admitted to Radar Online that she's crushing on that total babe Jon Gosselin, and really, who can blame her?

"I kind of have a crush on Jon Gosselin," she said. "I think he's hot!"

Of course, she also admits she feels bad for Kate Gosselin and wishes the media would leave the troubled twosome alone (and focus more on her, perhaps?). And despite her own visions of reality-television stardom, she agrees with Jon that the TLC show has been exploitative of the kids and should be put on the backburner.

Still, Hailey Glassman had better hold on tight—Jon has been known to stray, and this saucy minx has "fate" written all over her.

In other Octonews, Dr. Michael Kamrava, the fertility doc who treated Suleman, has been expelled from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, according to Sean Tipton, a spokesman for the organization. However, getting kicked out of a professional organization doesn't mean his license has been revoked. Kamrava can continue to practice medicine (and burden California taxpayers with extraneous babies).

There's an assumption about being a male celebrity Lil Wayne is clearly out to prove: the more famous you are, the more girls you can, ahem, handle.

The rapper confirmed to BBC's Tim Westwood that he's expecting a son with R&B singer (and The Dream's ex-wife) Nivea. This tiny tot will make his third baby son in a little more than a year.

Mind you, it'll also make his fourth child with his fourth baby mama.

Last October, Dwayne Carter Jr.'s first son was born in Cincinnati. Last month, actress Lauren London welcomed his second. Nivea's baby boy will make three. And let's not forget his daughter, Reginae, with ex-wife Antonia "Toya" Carter.

Does he need to continue to prove his prowess, or should someone pass him the Trojans?

Sure, there have been a bunch of deaths this year, but a bunch of new chicks have hatched as well.

Miley Cyrus rapped about leaving Twitter, so why shouldn't Billy Ray Cyrus rap about stickin' around? Anything Miles can do, dad can do better, right?

That we actually can't answer, but Jimmy Fallon dressed as Billy Ray would win the rhyme-spittin' battle any day.

The Late Night host donned a wig and a pair of dungarees in an attempt to get Miley's former followers to support dear ol' dad.

"Hey there, America, let's make this clear / Miley might be gone, but I'm still here," he begins. "As long as my heart's still beatin' / I'm gonna be tweetin' / 'cause I got a full house like my name was Jodie Sweetin...Achy-Breaky Tweets!"

It's enough to make you click that "Follow" button...for Jimmy, at least.

Zach Braff has gone the way of Jeff Goldblum.

In other words, he's totally not dead.

A nasty rumor floated all over the Internet yesterday that the Scrubs star had offed himself with a bunch of pills. Thankfully, he posted a note on Facebook (which received less "likes" than he would have liked) and a video to clear up the tall tales.

"I'm alive," he says. "I'm here at Scrubs shooting the new Scrubs title sequence which is a little bit like dying, so I guess that was semi-accurate. Also, I would never off myself with pills. If I had to do it, I would do it the way that everyone else would do it—by hitting myself with pots and pans."

The star continues by blasting the blogger who originated the rumor, Chris Laganella, who has since removed the post and replaced it with an apologetic explanation.

But the video gets even better when Braff explains what happened after his costar pal Donald Faison called him frantically.

"I was able to work out with him that if I do ever die, I would like him to sing an R&B version of 'Wind Beneath My Wings' at my funeral," he says.

And then—you guessed it—rehearsals begin and Faison shares his funny, yet fantastic, vocal stylings. Who knew?!
