It seems that Stephen Colbert's incessant mocking of fellow "renaissance man" James Franco has summoned a surprise visit from the actor - Or should I say, his secret twin brother Frank Jameso.

Watch Stephen as he elicits Frank's help in taking down his "renaissance nemesis" James Franco (or "rena-nemesis" ) in an effort to "expose [him] for the fraud he truly is."

"The Colbert Report" airs 11:30 pm Monday- Thursday on Comedy Central.

"American Idol" winner turned Country Music superstar Carrie Underwood has dominated the music scene, but what's been keeping this accomplished artist from the silver screen? She says she just hadn't found the right project - that is, until now. 

The lucky script to get Carrie's attention is none other than 'Soul Surfer', a screenplay based on the inspirational story of Bethany Hamilton, a teenager who lost her arm at thirteen to a 14-foot tiger shark in 2003. Despite her significant challenges, Bethany was determined to return to surfing, and in less than one month, she returned to her board.

Carrie had nothing but praise for the project, saying "the whole story was such an inspirational story. It's something that I would want my kids to watch and to know I did, you know, 'Once upon a time whenever I have kids.'

Mrs. Underwood is in excellent company with accomplished actors such as Dennis Quaid, Helen Hunt, and AnnaSophia Robb.

Charlie Sheen took his My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option tour to Cleveland, Ohio on Tuesday and there was at least one audience member the actor may have recognized.

Bill Bagwell, who saw Charlie get booed off stage at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, trekked over to Cleveland to see the show again, for the first time.

"We didn't get a chance to find out [if the show was good or not]," said Bill. "People were booing from the get go."

We caught up with Bill after the show to get his review.

"It was worth every minute of the drive," said Bill. "All three and a half hours."

Charlie found a more receptive audience in Cleveland as opposed to his debut show in Detroit, but he still couldn't please everyone.

"I didn't think it was that great," said one audience member. "There's not a lot of structure to it. The questions were kind of off the wall."

Charlie's next stop is the Palace in Columbus, Ohio on April 6.

Wendy Williams was eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars" on Tuesday but backstage she revealed the positive side of her leaving the program.

"It's very difficult to stand on the firing line and hear [the judges' criticism] week after week especially when your son is wondering when you can help with math," Wendy said, revealing the strain that the show put on her personal life.

The talk-show host went on to explain that she actually felt relieved when she was announced as this week's ousted contestant, saying, "The sense of relief was I don't feel as though we deserved any of the scores that we got these past three weeks, and there's really nothing we could do about those scores. No matter how good we thought we danced, the judges would have their opinion."

While Wendy was relieved to leave the rest of the cast seemed hurt to watch her go.

"Wendy's an awesome person and I got the chance to really get to know her and talk with her a lot," said Kendra Wilkinson. "I'm definitely going to miss her making me laugh."

"She had a big heart," said Kirstie Alley.

"I didn't get to spend a lot of time with her," said Ralph Macchio. "But I remember when they first saw our first run through of our fox trot, [Wendy and Tony Dovolani] were so complimentary and supportive of me and I embraced that and took that to heart."

Watch "Dancing with the Stars" Monday on ABC.

The cast of 'Arthur' stepped out for the film's New York City premiere, and the cast had nothing but love for Russell Brand.

Russell, who plays the title role, said that the best thing about playing the billionaire Arthur was that, "He has a childlike sense of fun and wonder and sees the beauty in all people and learns that love is more important than money. What finer message can there be?"

When asked about working with Brand, Helen Mirren said, "He's got a good heart. The Brand heart is a very good heart. He's kind and he's generous and he's fantastic to work with."

Jennifer Garner also gushed about her co-star saying, "Well he's so lovely, and he was so lovely with both of my girls. He's just warm and such a vulnerable and such an amazing actor."

Brand's love interest in the film, Greta Gerwig, said that Brand is "so funny" but added, "Underneath it, he's just a good person, and I think that's what is really amazing about him."

'Arthur' opens nationwide on Friday, April 8.

The music pounded and hearts thumped as "Dancing With the Stars" host Tom Bergeron narrowed the elimination field down to two couples on Tuesday night.

The viewers concurred with the judges after Monday's performance show, sending low scorer Wendy Williams and her partner Tony Dovolani home. Even without rehearsals in her schedule, Wendy has plenty to keep her busy, juggling a family and her talk show.

Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke were left lingering until the very end, but made it through to next week. Maksim Chmerkovskiy's slip in his and Kirstie Alley's rumba didn’t jeopardize their chances at the title. They too sailed through to the next round of competition.

"Dancing With the Stars" returns Monday night on ABC with a whole new slew of booty shaking routines and twinkly costumes.

The recipe for a new reality show is calling for an interesting mix of ingredients—Jake Pavelka, Danielle Staub and Heidi Montag, according to People.

The three controversial stars will be joined by others of reality fame for a VH1 series. A source told the mag, "They are revamping a restaurant from the ground up. They started shooting this past weekend." The cast will be faced with the challenge of opening an eatery in just 28 days.

The cast hasn't officially commented on the show yet, but were spotted dining together in Los Angeles while cameras rolled. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star tweeted on Sunday, "I'm super busy. Keep checking in here and will be able to fill you in soon." Earlier today she even tweeted a message directly to Heidi.

"The Hills" star spilled, "Just pulling up for filming at Geisha House in a hot red convertible Ferrari California!" Jake added, "Crazy fun day of shooting!"

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are trying to have a baby, and that means having Khloe's assistant draft an intercourse schedule according to Khloe's ovulation calendar.

On the series premiere of their new E! reality show "Khloe and Lamar," Khloe's assistant Malika lets them know when Khloe will be ovulating. Later, the couple has a heart to heart at their hotel room with whipped cream and strawberries.

From '80s soap star to "Law & Order," Mr. Big on "Sex and the City" and "The Good Wife" hunk, Chris Noth continues to impress as a television mainstay.

Born in Madison, WI, Noth holds a special place in his heart for New York City, and he even opened a music venue/restaurant there, The Cutting Room.

"New York's my home," he told ET when he was a "Law & Order" regular in 1991. "I feel fortunate to be here ... I live 20 blocks down from here. I appreciate the New Yorkers who see the show and talk to you on the subways; it's a thrill, it really is."

Kate Gosselin came by ET to dish about her thoughts on the new season of "Dancing with the Stars," the royal wedding and her recent experimenting in social media.

Kate is much happier watching rather than participating on 'Dancing' this time around. "Unless you've been through it you just can't understand how it is all so encompassing physically, emotionally, mentally." She told her girls, " I am just so glad to be sitting on this leather sofa next to you this season." And who is she rooting for? "I like the little Disney girl, Chelsea (Kane)," though she has come away very impressed with Kirstie Alley saying, " She is amazing. That she is doing this at 60 and she looks so great."

And it seems that Kate's eyes will be across the pond later this month for the royal wedding. "I am very excited for them," she tells us. "I remember when Princess Diana got married and I got up and we watched it on a little TV," though she continues, "my heart breaks a little for Kate (Middleton) cause she is suddenly thrown into this world of everyone picking her apart and it hurts me for her cause I kinda really know how that feels."

There is also one more Twitter account we'll be following closely. "I've just started doing that tweetery thing today." Kate adds, "I don't know how to do it, but I'm there. Can I have credit please?" Though it seems Kate did have some reservations. "I've always resisted all this modern technology stuff and I thought, you know what? What the heck. I'll give it a shot."

Finally, does Kate have anything to report in the relationship department? She tells ET, "Zero. Zero to report." Here's looking up Kate.
