The Jersey born, New York and Dominican raised, Zoe Saldana, was a classically trained dancer until the age of 18 when she caught the acting bug and made her successful foray into film. After finding worldwide success in movies like "Star Trek" and "Avatar," Britney Spears' former bestie in "Crossroads" stars in this summer's revenge fueled, action flick, "Colombiana."
Mila KunisplayedNatalie Portman's doppelganger in "Black Swan" and art seems to be imitating life as their careers and lives advance on parallel paths. These two stage sisters have a lot more in common than just being petite, brunette beauties.
A CBS press release stated Charlie Sheen will be replaced on "Two and a Half Men" by Ashton Kutcher. Most Sheen-gate followers know this is in part due to Sheen's highly publicized declarations of bi-winning wizardry and goddess addiction. Sheen is an old pro at what is now his second sitcom actor swap. The other Darrin waits at the gate of actor exchange purgatory to greet Sheen along with all other swapped sitcom stars.

Just when Charlie thought he ended the show "Two & A Half Men" for good, Warner Brothers made the announcement this Friday and guess who's replacing Mr. Tiger Blood himself?
Yup, and Charlie already has something to say about it.
"Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer ... Oh wait, so am I!!"
Charlie continues, taking a shot at the show, saying, "Enjoy the show America. Enjoy seeing a 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB." Essentially, Charlie is saying the age group that supported him is going to tune out.
Charlie adds,
"Enjoy planet Chuck, Ashton. There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there."
Of course, Charlie is referring to his nemesis, "Men" creator and Executive Producer Chuck Lorre.
Ashton Kutcher paid a little homage to Charlie Sheen in the official, just-released "Two and a Half Men" press release, saying,
"I can't replace Charlie Sheen but I'm going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people."
Sounds like things could possibly get interesting with Ashton on the show now. What a curve ball!
In case you forgot, check out these links below to refresh your memory of how Charlie's madness unfolded...
As TMZ first reported, Ashton threatened legal war last week -- claiming Vivid Entertainment was exploiting his good name to peddle Brittney Jones' sex tape ... and he'd unleash hell on them if they continued to associate him with it.
Ashton Kutcher's legal threats didn't scare the XXX company planning to release a sex tape featuring a woman who claims she slept with the actor -- in fact, the porn co. is totally blowing him off.
Now, Vivid Entertainment fired off their own letter -- claiming it ain't their fault if Ashton's reputation takes a beating over his alleged relationship with Brittney Jones ... because they didn't start that rumor ... in fact, it's old news.
In the letter, Vivid denies any wrongdoing whatsoever -- calling Ashton's legal chest-puffing completely "without merit."
As news of Brittany Murphy’s death reached media outlets, many of Brittany’s coworkers, friends and fans took to Twitter to mourn the young star and remember her warmly. Alicia Silverstone, Brittany’s costar in Clueless, spoke to People Magazine about Brittany, saying “I always felt connected to her as we shared a very special experience in our lives together. I feel love in my heart for her – and hope she is at peace. This is truly sad.”
Alicia also said that though they “didn’t stay in close touch over the years” she was still “so saddened to hear this news. I loved working with Brittany. She was so talented, so warm, and so sweet.” Others chimed in on Twitter:
Following Sunday’s shocking death of actress Brittany Murphy at age 32, her friends and admirers in Hollywood are sharing their grief and memories on Twitter and elsewhere.
Brittany's Ex, Ashton Kutcher said:
"2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine," Ashton wrote on his Twitter page. "My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany's family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon."
Ashton, whose romance with Murphy blossomed on the set of the comedy Just Married, added a special note to Brit herself, which really mad me tear...
"See you on the other side kid," he wrote in a separate post.
Other celebs also said their peace...
Lindsay Lohan:“My deepest condolences go out to all of Brittany Murphy’s loved ones& may she rest in peace….She was a great talent w/a beautiful soul xo”
Kim Kardashian:
“I am in shock that [Brittany] Murphy has died! Clueless is my all time favorite movie. My prayers go out to her family & husband”

Hilary Duff:“RIP Brittany Murphy forever in our hearts”
Fred Durst: “What a sweet human being. My prayers are with her friends and family.”
Film critic Roger Ebert: “She had a genuine quality.”
Jeff Bowler, who produced the just-released film Across the Hall co-starring Murphy, tells UsMagazine.com: “It’s truly a tragedy what happened. She was a great person with a huge heart.”
It's pretty clear that Brittany was loved and respected by many in the Hollywood community, and it’s nice to such respectful tributes to her life and work. [As I said previously, I was and still am a big fan of hers and watch the movies she was in because of her! She is also a young women close to my age and it's just heart breaking]
Meanwhile, others haven’t been so kind or respectful.Perez Hilton’s initial report on Brittany’s death read...
“People just don’t typically die at 32 of natural causes!!!!!!! Absolutely devastating. Especially because this comes as no surprise! We, and those who knew Brittany personally, saw this coming. That does not make this any less horrible.”
Many news agencies are going through their archival footage of Brittany, and it’s pretty much established that her last public appearance was for the opening of Tt Collection’s Pop-Up shop in Los Angeles. Many outlets described her appearance at the time as “emaciated” or “bony.”
In her last appearance/ interview, Brittany shared concerns about her frail frame.
"I am a bit thinner now than what I would like to be," Murphy, 32, admitted to Fox News' just 2 ½ weeks before her death on Sunday.
For years there has been rumors of her having an eating disorder and drug problems that she denied. She was quick to credit her workout routine...
"I was a ballerina for a long time...I still take ballet lessons now - what it does to your body is incredible."
She also said she wanted to have a baby in the new year, saying “As far as having a New Year’s resolution, I’d love to have a child next year. But that’s kind of a large one!” She also described herself as “very blessed to have a really great loving husband. … I spend more time with my family than anyone else in the world.”
[Really sad....]
Unfortunately, Brit appears to be quite thin in the video; her eyes also seem dilated. And while she's articulate, something just seems to be... off. It's kind of hard to explain—and not entirely appropriate to speculate in more than a general sense—so we'll let you watch and decide for yourself.
