Naomi Watts will be starring on the silver screen as Britain's Princess Diana in a new film documenting the last few years of Lady Di's life. Production on the fill will start in Britain later in the year.

While the shocking automobile accident that brought upon Lady Di's death has been featured in many television movies, Caught In Flight will be the first big screen movie made about Princess Diana's unfortunate fate. Naomi Watts feels proud to have been chosen for this role, and stated,

"It was such an honor to be able to play this iconic role. Princess Diana was loved across the world and I look forward to rising to the challenge of playing her on screen."

Caught In Flight will focus on the last two years of Diana's life, particularly her two-year secret affair with Hasnat Khan, a heart surgeon, and her subsequent divorce from Prince Charles. According to British film studio Ecosse Films, the movie chronicles

"how finding true personal happiness for the first time allowed her to achieve defining success evolving into a major international campaigner and humanitarian."

Princess Diana was 36 years old when the tragic accident happened, adding to the "outpouring of worldwide grief." Oliver Hirschbiegel, director of Downfall, a movie chronicling Adolf Hitler's last days, will be directing this film.

A picture is worth a thousand words and the recent Sylvester Stallone/Arnold Schwarzenegger snap that's been circulating on the web brings one particular palabra to our minds – Machismo! The aging action stars were seen posing together on gurneys as they both prepped for shoulder surgery.

Now in their 60’s, Arnold and Sly have put their bodies through the ringer for their stunt-heavy movies. And, according to Schwarzenegger, it was pure coincidence that brought them together in the ER.

"After all the action, stunts & physical abuse shooting The Expendables 2 and The Last Stand, it was time for a little tune up on my shoulder,” he told fans on his blog. “Look who was coincidentally waiting in line behind me for his shoulder surgery. Now we're ready for another round of great times and action when we shoot The Tomb."

Indeed, the two will be appearing in quite a few movies together in the near future. But for now, it's probably best they get some R & R. Let's hope the guys can find a good helper to nurse them back to fighting shape.

With six decades in the music business, Vicente Fernandez has definitely had a good run. The legendary Mexican singer has sold millions of albums, performed around the world, and influenced generations of mariachi fans. And now, as he approaches his 72nd birthday, Vicente has decided it's time to retire from the stage.

Fernandez delivered the big news this week and made sure to let his fans know that it was a very difficult decision. But the rigors of life on the road is a bit too much for this aging abuelito.

"An artist needs to retire with a lot of dignity, in the right moment," he told interviewers. "And I think that this year I will say goodbye to all of you, to the public from Central, South America, I will say goodbye to Spain for all the love they gave me for many years."

But keep in mind that Vicente is not retiring from recording. He still plans on making new music and is willing to do TV appearances to promote his songs. And if you're really eager to see a Fernandez on the live circuit, you can always check out his son Alejandro.

Film and television star Gary Busey is headed for the poor house. Sources say he has accumulated over $500,000 in personal debt over the last few years.

Busey is reported to have less than $50,000 in assets, despite having starred in blockbuster films such as Point Break and Lethal Weapon, as well as lesser-knows campy horror flops like The Gingerdead Man (I kid you not. Watch Gary Busey play a murderous gingerbread man. You won't be disappointed).

The zany actor filed for bankruptcy on Tuesday in Los Angeles, providing little more detail than the few dozen creditors he listed. While he does not provide a detailed explanation of why he is filing for bankruptcy, his manager shared that this move on Busey's part provides him "a new and clear path to personal and career success."

Maybe he should have done more episodes of Celebrity Rehab or Celebrity Apprentice in order to keep that income rolling in. This could pose as a positive for Busey fans, however. Maybe he'll be strapped enough for cash to make more episodes of I'm With Busey. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Do you think Gary Busey should keep making more television shows?

It's looking like baby boy Justin Bieber is teaming up with party animal Ke$ha on his next studio album release. The singer-songwriter will add her talent to Bieber vocals for an undoubtedly energetic ensemble.

Bieber's third studio album, Believe, will contain a track written by none other than Ke$ha herself. She will also be featured on the track, singing a duet with the Biebs, no doubt sizzling it up with her hip hop vibe. This is taking Bieber Fever to a whole other level now, considering Ke$ha is not exactly known for her tame and subtle ways.

This might be just what Justin needs to kick his stardom and up a notch and possibly increase his audience fanbase (if that were possible). Let's hope the "empress of glitter and unicorns" sprinkles some of that crazy powder on Bieber and gives the track some added flair.

Justin has also teamed up with Usher, once again, in the production of this new album. This dynamic duo of hip hop has sold plenty of records before, and will no doubt do it again. Watch out, fans. This might be Bieber's best release yet!

How do you feel about a Justin Bieber and Ke$ha duet?

Tell me what you want, what you really really want. Is it a Spice Girls reunion? If so, then you might be in luck.

The Spice Girls are apparently undergoing negotiations in hopes of reuniting in the near future. This time around, they're not just going for "wannabe" status, they're reuniting for more socially conscious causes like teen suicide and bullying.

There seems to be a sense of unfinished business among the group after stopping their 2008 tour short because of "family and personal commitments." The Spice Girls seem to have more on their agenda now. According to a source,

"The whole idea of girl power and using that to fight against bullying and teen suicide is something that has been discussed."

The only thing that seems to be holding the group back is their busy schedules, especially that of Mel B. Scary Spice is a busy bee these days with Dancing With the Stars and X Factor. The source shares,

"They have a lot to figure out. Right now it is all just talking."

Have you secretly been hoping for a Spice Girls reunion?

It seems the nasty middle finger gesture isn't the only news circling around M.I.A. these days. The  controversial singer and her longtime partner, Benjamin Bronfman, are breaking up.

London-born M.I.A. spends most of her life in the United Kingdom, while Ben lives in New York. This living arrangement has been going on for a while, which doesn't bode well for serious relationships. The couple has apparently been living separate lives for a while now.

The couple originally met in London a few years ago, and M.I.A. gave birth to their son, Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman, a year later in 2009. Ikhyd is being raised by his father Ben, with help from his mother, Sherry Bronfman. According to a source from the New York Daily News, the 36 year old singer "sometimes goes six weeks without seeing her family."

M.I.A. has previously entertained the notion of marrying Bronfman for immigration issues, but has discounted it.

"That;s what they (immigration officials) want me to do, but I'm not going to lose my integrity for that s**t... I actually want a nice wedding. I'm not going to blow that. If they're gonna kick me out, it's going to be a fight, it's an important fight to have."

Well it seems there won't be a wedding after all. At least not to Benjamin. Seems M.I.A. just gave him the finger.

Would you split from your babydaddy because of distance or would you try to sort it out?

As we all know, Cristina Saralegui is a master at getting celebrities to open up on her talk shows. And this past week, she got a ton of juicy gossip from the madre of Mr. 305, Alysha Acosta.

Pitbull's mom delivered some shocking revelations to the audience during her appearance, including the fact that she's a recovering alcoholic. Apparently for quite a long time, Pit and his sisters didn't want anything to do with her. And that's something she takes full responsibility for.

"[I grew up] in the hippie era," she told Cristina. "It was full of LSD, PCP, marijuana, and when you're on drugs or drunk, you lose all your morals, your conscience…everything!"

But thankfully it seems like Alysha has cleaned up her act and is on much better terms with her mega-famous son. When asked about Pitbull, Acosta said that their relationship seems to be better now than it's ever been.

Fresh off the heels of her Super Bowl halftime show, Madonna has announced plans to tour the world in support of her new album. The Material Girl will reportedly kick off the festivities in Israel on May 29 and move across several continents throughout the remainder of the year.

Interestingly, this latest musical run will be the first time she's hit the road since her "Sticky & Sweet Tour" in 2009. And proving she's still got the goods at age 53, Madge will be hitting venues in destinations ranging from Australia, to Europe, to the Middle East.

Fans clearly got a taste of what to expect this past Sunday when the singer debuted a new track alongside Nikki Minaj and M.I.A. And though it's doubtful she'll bring M.I.A. along for the ride (especially after that finger wagging incident), we're sure their song will make the set list.

Several dates are still getting locked in, but you can expect Madonna in Tel Aviv by late May, France by August, and Miami sometime in the fall. And just to prove she's still connected to the Latino crowd, Madge will be hitting South America sometime after that.

Are you looking forward to seeing Madonna live? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.

Love don't cost a thing, but real estate does. It seems Jennifer Lopez is losing her high rise downtown Miami condominium due to a foreclosure sale.

JLo's Icon Brickell love nest, which she's been sharing with her younger boy toy Casper Smart, was sold right out from under her. It seems the condo was actually owned by HSBC Bank.

Lopez and her ex, Marc Anthony, had leased the condo in 2009 as a marketing ploy to draw a buzz to the neighborhood. The couple had been offered a deal by Jorge Perez, the developer, which was too good to pass up. They moved in with hopes that their celebrity status would draw more buyers who were interested in having someone famous in their building.

According to real estate columnist Kevin Dickenson, the couple was offered low rent with an option to buy the sky-high condo for just $1.7 billion. What a sweet deal. Soon, gossip had spread that Lopez and Anthony had bought as many as ten units in the tower, making it the "sexiest place in town."

Apparently, sex appeal could not save the building, however, and a deal recently closed that would force JLo and her cougar cub Casper to seek a love den elsewhere.

Would you move into a building just because a celebrity lived there?
