CELEB WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Marlon Wayans pose for a photo during a press conference for 'G.I. Joe The Rise Of The Cobra' at Simmer On The Bay on July 20, 2009 in Sydney, Australia. I love you Marlon! I can't wait to see this movie which also stars the newly married hott Channing Tatum and Sienna Miller.


Simon Cowell is enjoying his time off as he was spotted having a blast on a yacht in St. Tropez. The American Idol judge enjoyed food, drink, and a jet ski in the company of many friends including his ex girlfriend Sinitta. The two seemed pretty close and affectionate toward each other. Could they be trying out the romance once again now that both of them are single? If so, she's a beautiful girl Simon. Go for it!

Megan Fox stepped out in Los Angeles with boyfriend Brian Austin Green. The two kept cool with refreshments from Robeks juice and Megan rocked an oversized hat that hid her from the harmful rays of the sun and the papparazzi.

AI PRODUCES FAME HUNGRY KIDS?

Rocker/Actor, LENNY KRAVITZ has criticized reality TV shows such as AMERICAN IDOL for producing a generation of fame-hungry kids who don't want to work for a living.

He is convinced that today's celebrity culture has a negative effect on kids - who all grow up wanting to be "famous" but don't want to work hard in their careers.

And Kravitz insists many young people see TV talent contests as an easy way to fame and fortune. He tells Britain's Glamour magazine, "(These shows) are a reflection of our society. You hear kids saying that they want to be famous, and when you ask them what for, they don't know - they just want to be famous. "It's like there is this lack of passion in the doing of something that that might bring you riches. When I was little, I never said I wanted to be famous, I said I wanted to be a musician. "I mean, I understand why people like (these TV shows), but will you find a Bob Dylan or a Bob Marley on there? It is what it is."

ZAC EFRON: THE NEW TONY MANERO?

The buzz in Hollywood is that American Idol's Simon Cowell is in talks with producer Robert Stigwood to remake the 1977 classic, "Saturday Night Fever."
Simon has his eye on cutie Zac Efron to play Tony Manero, the tight-pants-wearing disco king originally played by John Travolta.
Sources tell Britain's The Sun newspaper that Cowell has been looking into buying the rights for years and has opened discussions with Stigwood, who owns the rights to the screenplay.
“The charm offensive has been in full swing and they made a breakthrough over the last couple of weeks. Robert was keen to get some assurances the original wouldn’t be completely butchered before he agreed to the deal," the source told the paper.
“Simon has been drawing up a list of people he wants to get involved. When that meets Robert’s expectations, the contracts will be signed.”
Word is that hip-hop producer Timbaland might get tapped to rework that awesome Bee Gees soundtrack.
Watch the first three minutes of the movie and see if you can envision the "High School Musical" star in the role.
