Academy Award-nominated actor Don Cheadle and supermodel Gisele Bündchen are facing off against each other to see who can rally the most support for the United Nations' World Environment Day Challenge in a new PSA from Tonic.com.
World Environment Day began in 1972 and has strived to be the biggest and most widely celebrated day for positive environmental action. WED selects a different theme each year, with this year's theme being "Forests. Nature at Your Service." The goal of this year's WED is to plant a new forest in India as well as having as many people as possible make eco- friendly lifestyle choices.
Both Bündchen and Cheadle are Goodwill Ambassadors for the United Nations and are trying to garner support from communities for World Environment Day. Bündchen has pledged to plant one tree for every environmental project started in her name, and Cheadle has promised to plant two trees for every project pledged to him.

TheInsider.com has obtained footage of Arnold Schwarzenegger's alleged mistress Mildred "Patty" Baena singing onstage as she impersonates Marilyn Monroe's iconic version of "Happy Birthday, Mr. President."
The footage -- in which Baena smiles and laughs in between singing to the audience assembled for a party -- was taken the same day as Arnold, Maria Shriver and their children attended a quinceanera celebration for Baena's niece several years ago. Baena's performance onstage occurred at a different location than the church where earlier the Schwarzeneggers greeted the niece.
At the church, the families seemed comfortable as they enjoyed the celebration together, long before Arnold's shocking separation from Shriver and his confession that he'd fathered a child out of wedlock.

On this day in 1995, MTV gave us behind-the-scenes access to the taping of their dating game show, "Singled Out."
The show, which was originally hosted by Jenny McCarthy and Chris Hardwick, featured 50 men and 50 women who competed for a date with the main contestant. That same contestant, otherwise known as the "Picker," wasn't allowed any visible knowledge of their suitors and had to then single out his or her potential dates from the "Dating Pool" using various questions and comments.
The colorful hosts, Jenny and Chris, seemed right for the show that lasted three-years (1995-1998). During the last season, Jenny moved on to her own comedy series, "The Jenny McCarthy Show," and was replaced by Carmen Electra.
Check out the behind-the-scenes footage of the dating show and see what Jenny and Chris thought was the best part of the job as hosts!
With less than 24 hours left until the next Mirror Ball Trophy champion is to be crowned, The Insider's Christina McLarty caught up with the remaining teams as they ache and limp their way to the "Dancing" finish line.
Kym Johnson is still receiving care for her recent neck injury, but is grateful for partner Hines Ward who is often present to ease her discomfort by holding her hand during the frequent injections from the doctor.
Kirstie Alley tells Christina that partner Maksim has had food poisoning for the past couple of days, with Maks adding that it's been tough to dance at champion level with a diet consisting of crackers and ginger ale.
Mark Ballas is in the last stages of a cold, therefore Chelsea Kane is taking preventative measures which very often leaves the pair in a situation to which they must "watch each other get shots in the butt" to combat the virus. Although the joint syringe sessions aren't exactly ideal, Chelsea jokes that it made the pair "closer than ever."

It's been a whirlwind year for pop/rock/rap sensation Ke$ha, and from the looks of it this 24-yr-old's outrageous style is just as envelope-pushing onstage, as it is off.

On the red carpet, Selena revealed that she plans to include her beau in the thank you section of her album booklet. Backstage, Justin called his special lady "amazing."
Additional performers included Beyonce, Ke$ha, Cee-Lo Green, The Black Eyed Peas, and many more.

Arguably the most exciting and controversial season of "The Celebrity Apprentice" came to an end Sunday night, pitting Country Star John Rich against Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin in a final challenge of creating the best retro 7UP campaign to ultimately take home $250,000 for their respective charities.
Prior to announcing the winner, Donald Trump admitted this season's ruling of "Apprentice" was his toughest yet, telling the pair he has "never had to go through something like this," calling Matlin and Rich "amazing."
In the end, it was John Rich who wrangled the title of "Celebrity Apprentice" over runner-up Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin.
Most of the season's original 16 contestants returned for the finale with the exception of reality-show star Richard Hatch, who is currently in prison for tax evasion.
Rich scores a $250,000 check which puts the grand total of his charity monies raised in at over $1 million for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. Matlin had been playing for the Starkey Hearing Foundation.
This season's cast included David Cassidy, Richard Hatch, Lisa Rinna, Star Jones, Gary Busey, NeNe Leakes, LaToya Jackson, Dionne Warwick, Jose Canseco, and Meatloaf.
From 1989 to 2006, The Billboard Awards were one of the music industry's most highly anticipated events, and with this year marking the show's rebirth, the stars came out in full force to perform in and celebrate the event's long-awaited return.
Hosted by "The Hangover II" star Ken Jeong, the show drew big celebrities from music, film and television, with guests in attendance ranging from music legend U2, to "Glee" star Matthew Morrison, to Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman.
Nominee Taylor Swift shared her excitement in the award show's return, telling us she feels "so honored" to be nominated for an astonishing seven awards on what she calls a "really special night."
Although Fergie was one of the night's performers, she confessed she couldn't wait to see Britney and Nicki Minaj. Black Eyed Peas band mate Taboo added that holding the night's festivities in Vegas added a fun, "party" atmosphere making the night even more "awesome."
With "Dancing with the Stars" Tuesday season finale only days away, team Hines finds itself a fan with Eric Stonestreet and Tim Allen, while Fergie is firmly planted on team Kirstie, explaining that she "loves" her. Allen's wife Jane Hajduk, doesn't share the Steelers love, instead choosing Kirstie as her pick to win the mirror ball trophy.

The cat slipped out of the bag a tad bit early about Britney Spears' "surprise" performance at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
Midway through Rihanna's performance of "S&M," the crowd went wild as Britney's silhouette was revealed. Wearing a black leotard, Britney traded in her Mouseketeer ears for a mask with rabbit ears.
They performed the remaining lyrics as a duet, culminating with feather-flying pillow fight with the backup dancers. Watch the chart-topping gals gyrate during a pole dancing routine in the crowd arousing performance!
Since her latest comeback, Britney has been well received in Las Vegas. Back in March, she debuted some of her "Femme Fatale" tracks at The Palms in a special concert set. Britney embarks on her nationwide tour with Nicki Minaj on June 16.
Prominent public figures, fellow recording artists, and family members recorded heartwarming messages for Beyonce to introduce her at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night.
First Lady Michelle Obama said Beyonce has a "powerful presence for young girls and women around the world." Solange Knowles singled out her sister's performance at President Barack Obama's inauguration as "a moment where we were all extremely proud to know her and love her."
Father Matthew Knowles, mother Tina Knowles, her nephew, The Dream, Lady Gaga, Kenneth Brian "Babyface" Edmonds, Stevie Wonder, and Barbra Streisand were also featured in the dedication montage.
Beyonce's alter ego Sasha Fierce then took the stage for a digitally infused performance of "Run the World." With perfect synchronism, the lady of the hour interacted with digital images projected on a screen behind her. "Glee"'s Matthew Morrison made a surprise cameo as she walked through the audience. Destiny's Child bandmates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland, along with husband Jay-Z, were on their feet to applaud the routine.
While catching her breath, her mom presented her with the Billboard Millenium Award. Beyonce said, "This is a moment I have to soak in because it's one of the best memories of my life." Watch her show-stopping performance, right here!

"The Insider" co-host Kevin Frazier caught up with Jack Black at the raucous 'Kung Fu Panda 2' premiere on Sunday, getting the comedian to reveal his "inside joke" with Angelina Jolie, involving the actress' kids.
A bearded Brad Pitt in shades attended the premiere with Angelina who looked stunning in a gown by Michael Kors, and Jack told us about one of Angelina's amazing dresses that she wound up giving away.
"She had a lot of unbelievable maternity dresses and she sent us one," said Jack, who welcomed his second son, Thomas, with wife Tanya Haden on May 23, 2008. "In return I gave her - it doesn't sound like a good gift - but I gave her a "Brady Bunch" DVD box set as kind of an inside joke because she has six babies just like the 'Brady Bunch.'"
Featuring the return of Jack as Po the Panda alongside the vocal talents of Angelina, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross, Jackie Chan and Dustin Hoffman, 'Kung Fu Panda 2' finds Po living his dream as the Dragon Warrior, protecting the Valley of Peace alongside his fellow kung fu masters, The Furious Five, when a new villain, Lord Shen (Gary Oldman), threatens to conquer China and destroy kung fu.
Dustin Hoffman shared that even though his children are grown adults they aren't above being impressed by his new animated feature - with one catch.
"They just don't want to go with me [to premieres] anymore," Dustin chuckled. "They'll see it on their own."

Chelsea Kane and her "Dancing with the Stars" pro partner Mark Ballas revealed how close they've become in a candid interview with "The Insider" correspondent Christina McLarty.
"I watched Mark get a shot in his butt yesterday, so I feel closer to him than ever," Chelsea blurted on Thursday. The Disney star added with a laugh, "I held his hand."
"I woke up really sick yesterday," Mark explained. "I had a fever and coughing and really bad sweats and stuff."
Although his ailment came at a particularly inopportune time (the couple is preparing to battle in the finals next week) neither performer is making any excuses.
Chelsea seems especially anxious to take home the mirror ball trophy since she'd be the first Disney star to do so.
"There's been a Disney kid almost every season and we've never taken home the mirror ball," said the actress.

Kevin Frazier talked to the film's star, Sarah Jessica Parker, on the similarities she shares with the main character Kate, in which she stated she can relate to working women all over the world. When the conversation cruised towards her style icon status, Sarah stayed grounded with her reply.
"You have practicalities in your day that dictate how you look when you walk out the door," the actress confessed. "Sometimes I have the luxury of time to be presentable, and sometimes my children's needs come first."

The Insider.com's Nicole Dabeau got an exclusive sit-down with the ladies of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" during their visit to the Sirius XM studios in NYC, and the girls got to dish on a variety of subjects, including their fiery season premiere episode.
With news of the show being hailed as the highest rated season premiere in Bravo's history with 2.87 million viewers, Jacqueline Laurita gave her outlook on why they were able to come back with a bang.
"I kind of thought that might happen," Jacqueline said as laughter erupted from the ladies. "Only because it was a little crazy."
Now crazy can be considered an understatement if one were to view what transpired during the episode. Tension brewed between Teresa Giudice and her brother Joe Gorga, who's husband to current housewife Melissa Gorga, due to some sibling miscommunication at Joe's youngest son Giuseppe's christening. Things boil out of control as Joe erupts in a fit of rage and Melissa broke it down like only a devoted wife could.
"I think everyone reaches their breaking point," Melissa said. "At the time, certain things went on and it just was too much."
When the women shared their thoughts on the Arnold Schwarzenegger affair scandal and how they would handle it, many of them easily agreed with Teresa's perspective. "There's always two sides," she mentioned. "But I would never stay with a cheater."
