Is 'superwoman' Madonnafinally showing her age?
Fans are worried about the health of perfectionist performer Madonna after the 45-year-old singer reportedly fainted after a recent concert, reports MSNBC.com.
After her first concert in Inglewood, Calif., Madonna thanked the crowd and "fainted backstage in full sight of those less fortunate who had cheaper tickets way above the stage," according to a report in The Daily Trojan, a student newspaper for the University of Southern California.
Fans have raved about Madonna's fitness and her voice and precision performances, but some complained that she didn't give enough encores. If indeed she did faint, that might be the reason.
"She didn't faint, but she was certainly suffering from exhaustion," Madonna's rep said.
Madonna also canceled a concert, saying she had the stomach flu. The day after the cancellation, Madonna told people that "she thought she was superwoman and thought she could do it all, but she realized she couldn't," according to a source.
Paris Hilton to be gueston David Letterman show
NEW YORK -- Paris Hilton will make her long-awaited first appearance on the "Late Show" with David Letterman on Monday, CBS announced.
Hilton was to have been a guest on the late-night show Nov. 26, but scrapped all planned media appearances promoting her Fox series, "The Simple Life."
At the time, Hilton's spokesman said no slight to Letterman was intended. He added that she wanted to keep a lower profile because of the attention she'd received from her ubiquitous Internet sex video.
The hotel heiress had said she was "embarrassed and humiliated" that a homemade sex video she shot several years earlier with then-boyfriend Rick Salomon had been making the rounds online.
Hilton and her friend Nicole Richie, daughter of Lionel Richie, star in "The Simple Life 2: Road Trip," which premieres Wednesday on Fox television. It's the sequel to their hit show that chronicled their stay with the Leding family in rural Altus, Ark.
John Schneider compares'Dukes' and 'Smallville'
LOS ANGELES -- Has Bo Duke grown up to be Uncle Jesse?
John Schneider is still a good ol' boy at heart, but the former troublemaking off-road driver from "The Dukes of Hazzard" is now more known as young Superman's responsible, tough-talking father from the WB network's "Smallville."
He said both TV shows are about teaching values to the main characters.
"It's a remarkable testimony to television's ability to affect people's families. And it's a good feeling," the 44-year-old actor told The Associated Press recently. "[On both shows] we have the good guys who are good not because they're lily-white, but they're good because they make the right choices even when they don't want to."
The first season of "The Dukes of Hazzard" debuted on DVD for the first time last week.
Schneider said those episodes from 1979 show the Duke cousins learning right from wrong, and when to trust authority and when to rebel, by getting lectures from wise, snowy-bearded Uncle Jesse, who was played by Denver Pyle.
As the adoptive parents of super-kid Clark Kent on "Smallville," Schneider and co-star Annette O'Toole are doing the same thing for a younger generation.
"There's a belief in the reality of Jonathan and Martha Kent and the reality of the family that they bring to young Clark -- as Uncle Jesse did in a way," he said.
