Justin Bieber is a brat!!

Is Justin Bieber a brat? Believe it or not, that's the question of the day.

It stems from a story being reported by Fox411's Pop Tarts. Bieber was on a flight from Los Angeles to Asia and refused to cooperate with flight staff when they asked him to take his seat in preparation for takeoff, says Pop Tarts, quoting an unnamed eyewitness.

"He then gave the staff a really hard time the whole flight, nobody could believe it," said the source. "And then at the end, the captain introduced himself to Justin and kindly asked for an autograph, and he rudely refused."

Neither Bieber's representatives nor American Airlines have commented on the incident. But Fox411 points out it's not the first time Bieber has been accused of having a bad attitude. CSI star Marg Helgenberger said he was a "brat" on the set when he guest-starred.

TMZ caught up with the teen heartthrob, however, asked what was up with the brat rumor. "I have no clue. I have never heard that rumor," said Bieber, "ever!" He added, "I don't think you should believe everything you hear. People make up stuff all the time." When asked about the rumors calling him a “brat” among other not-so-nice nicknames, the star seemed shocked by the allegations. He said that he couldn’t understand why people would think of him in that way, and stated, “I’ve never heard that rumor before.”

When the cameraman mentioned the specific incident on the flight reported by FOX, the star replied, “I don’t think you should believe everything you hear people make stuff up all the time.” He also added, “Supposedly I’m dead today… that’s the rumor.”

Aston kutcher is flirting with going back to TV

TV's highest paid actor Ashton Kutcher says in an interview with Details magazine, "I've been flirting with going back to TV for a while,". "When this opportunity came up, I thought to myself, why not?"

He isn't just taking over 'Charlie Sheen's' role on 'Two and a Half Men', he's taking Charlie's slot as TV's most overpaid highest-paid actor. And that's before a single episode of his has aired.

The interview focuses on Kutcher's involvement with the Web and social media, but touched on his upcoming Two and a Half Men job, too.

At the time, he described his character this way: "It's somewhere between an alien and Jesus Christ, but I can't be more specific than that," Kutcher cracked. Now, of course, we know that he's playing Walden Schmidt, a billionaire Internet entrepreneur.

As for Sheen, Kutcher says the two connected online. "I don't know him. I've never met him in my life. But, you know, he sent me congratulations and wished me well. Via Twitter.

Ashton Kutcher was the first winner at the Teen Choice Awards Sunday evening, and he started the show with a bang -- and a few bars of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." The shaggy-haired Choice Actor in a Romantic Comedy winner also imparted some wacky words of wisdom to the crowd and stole a surfboard before leaving the stage.

Alec Baldwin: Read Newspaper Everyday

Alec Baldwin, who has been filming Woody Allen's new movie in Rome, picked newspapers as his latest subject. He's definitely a man after USA TODAY's heart. And you can count on him to start a debate.

The "30 Rock" star tweeted on Monday night:

''Buy and read a newspaper every day. In print or online, there is information in newspapers you will never get from other media.''

That drew some negative response from his followers, one of whom asked for an example. Baldwin provided the New York Times subscription plans.

The exchange escalated when one follower not only insulted newspapers but Baldwin’s family.

Psx120 tweeted: “@AlecBaldwin Hey Alec, newspapers are more worthless than your brothers’ career. Get a clue.”

Baldwin responded by calling the person a “festering boil on the buttocks of a free society.”

The user soon recanted the statement and apologized, but the invective directed towards newspapers continued: “Newspapers are failing in their duties to be our free society’s watchdog however. That was my main point,” Psx120 tweeted.

Baldwin encountered another non-believer in @happyub, who tweeted “@Alec Baldwin TOP HEADLINE !!! today another 72,000 acres of prime, beautiful forest was felled today in order that sheep can read the PAPER.”

Baldwin’s response “Then read online, you festering…”

When word spread of the exchanges Tuesday morning, some members of the media stepped in on Baldwin's side, no surprise there.

Charlie Sheen is extremely grateful to Ashton Kutcher

Actor Charlie Sheen is extremely grateful that Ashton Kutcher replaced him on "Two and a Half Men" telling TMZ, if Ashton hadn't taken his old spot, he would have never kick-started his career.

According to Sheen, the upcoming funeral of his character adds a bit of closure for him.-- telling us, “I have always been told that I have 9 lives, so it is going to be amazing to witness my own funeral which is clearly a win situation because Ashton has just given me a 10th."

As we previously reported, Charlie is making a huge comeback after "Men" announcing his brand new TV project based on "Anger Management."

This comes after it was confirmed last week that Ashton Kutcher will play the character of Walden Schmidt on Two and a Half Men, an internet billionaire with a broken heart.

Girl's and White Dress

Who has seen The Sound of Music that is, everyone will likely recognize the title of Jennifer Close's Girls in White Dresses as a certain Oscar Hammerstein lyric. But given the tone and tenor of this debut novel, it shouldn't surprise that the reference isn't particularly affectionate. About halfway through the book, the three young women whose twentysomething and early-thirtysomething adventures shape the narrative are at a friend's bridal shower, where the theme is "Favorite Things" get it?

As is often the case in Girls, the booze is flowing, and the core trio is making snaky observations. It's not just that the bride-to-be is behaving insufferably; the three principals — Isabella, Lauren and Mary — are, like many of their peers, still less than satisfied in their own personal and professional lives.

In this scenario and others, Close, who is 32, captures the extended post-collegiate ennui associated with her generation — a bit too keenly, at times. The characters are not unsympathetic. Mary, a lawyer/mom prone to Catholic guilt, and Isabella, ever-ambivalent in both her career and love life, can be quite endearing. But the various accounts of troubled beaus and hangovers can test your patience for these gals and their buddies, and make their professed desires to grow up and settle down ring hollow.

Close does provide some amusing riffs on the pop zeitgeist. We're introduced briefly to a blonde, the girlfriend of one of Isabella's boyfriends, who bears a cruelly funny resemblance to JonBenet Ramsey. Then we meet Shannon, whose budding romance is doomed when the suitor starts working non-stop for "the Candidate," an unnamed political contender whose charmed rise and overwhelming charisma clearly point to the current Oval Office occupant.

Still, for all its eager sardonicism, Girls In White Dresses ultimately proves about as revealing as brown paper packages tied up with strings and less memorable than the tune associated with them.

Jane Fonda's interview

She's a 73-year-old movie icon and fitness guru - and she's still in fantastic shape.

But in a new interview in the US edition of Harper's Bazaar, Jane Fonda reveals that she's struggled with bulimia and a low self-image for most of her life and has only just learned to feel good about herself.

She says: "I wasn't very happy from, I would say, puberty to 50. It took me a long time. It was in my 40s, and if you suffer from bulimia, the older you get, the worse it gets. It takes longer to recover from a bout."

This is a woman who has always been concerned about her body image.

"I was raised in the '50s," she explains in an interview with Harper's Bazaar. "I was taught by my father that how I looked was all that mattered, frankly. He was a good man, and I was mad for him, but he sent messages to me that fathers should not send: Unless you look perfect, you're not going to be loved."

She has exercised like crazy, battled bulimia, had plastic surgery. "I'm vain," she says. "My arms are thin, but I'm vain about loose flesh. And so I'm careful that what I wear will show off my best parts, which are my waist and my butt." That said, "I have people in my life who will say, 'Honey, you're trying too hard.' I like being saucy, but I'm 73 and a half. I'm still trying to find my way between matronly and coltishness.

We think Jane looks amazing - but she deserves to after all those years she spent 'going for the burn' in aerobics classes. Just thinking about her '80s exercise video makes us feel tired...
