We got to know Topher Grace in That ’70s Show and now he is graduating to the ’80s in Take Me Home Tonight that comes out on March 4th. So much so that he produced a music video for a song from the movie.

Yesterday Justin Bieber reprised his role on CSI and as you can see it will be the last time he will be on the CBS show. He ended his guest appearance on the show by getting shot several times in the chest. I am sure people who are sick of the teen sensation enjoyed watching that and are watching this scene over and over again.
BTW yesterday when I wrote my review I so wanted to tell you about that moment, but I figured you would want to experience as that happened with no spoilers.

Debi Mazar attended the Agent Provocateur Beverly Hills Rodeo Drive Boutique opening and she debuted a new look. The brunette walked the red carpet with a short grey bob, so I have to wonder if that is her accepting that she might be going grey? Thankfully it looks like she is just wearing a wig because I think that it aged her at least 20 years.
