Sigourney Weaver Interview You Again
In You Again (out Sept. 24), Sigourney Weaver tangles with her onscreen friends in some fiercely catty rivalries. But she calls her costars a "dream cast" because they got along so well behind the scenes. The actress also tells iVillage in an exclusive interview that she had few adversaries in school: "I was at a girls school, we didn’t really have that mean girls thing too much." Instead, it was her superiors who she had problems with: "I just felt kind of persecuted in high school, by the teachers," she admits.
It’s hard to believe that a poised, respected and successful talent like Weaver ever had any trouble as a kid, but she confesses to us that she socially bumbled through school, "I was always bumping into things, getting in trouble, telling jokes at the wrong time."
And she's happy to report that life just gets better with age. "I feel like every time I start a new decade -- I just turned 60 -- I go, 'Man, the world is my oyster now!" she gushes.
Watch our exclusive video to hear the advice Weaver gives her high school self, why she doesn’t worry about what Hollywood thinks and how she feels about castmates Jamie Lee Curtis and Betty White.
Did you bloom long after high school? Chime in below!

David Beckham: Staying Fit Amidst Scandal
Taking care of his training responsibilities, David Beckham was spotted at practice for his LA Galaxy team today (September 22).
Becks looked to be in fine form as he ran drills with the squad, sporting his team apparel and a pair of red Adidas soccer cleats.
Of course, David is likely preoccupied with the fact that he?s been accused of having an affair with a $10,000-a-night hooker by InTouch magazine, though he?s denied the whole thing.
A rep for the Beckham family declared, ?The rumors are completely untrue and totally ridiculous, as the magazine was clearly told before publication. Sadly we live in a world where a magazine can print lies and believe they can get away with it. We are taking legal action against the magazine."

Michael Jackson's Mom Sues Concert Promoter AEG Live

The litigation that has surrounded the tragedy of Michael Jackson's untimely death continues. Katherine Jackson, on behalf of and along with Michael Jackson's children, has filed suit against AEG Live, the promoter for the late superstar's 50-date concert residency. Jackson's mother charges the company breached its contractual agreement to provide medical care for her son and argues they were negligent in hiring controversial doctorConrad Murray.
According to TMZ, Katherine's filing claims AEG's contract with Michael "created a legal duty for AEG to act reasonably toward the physical well-being of Michael Jackson." The website also points out that the lawsuit lists Katherine Jackson as a Guardian ad Litem, or legal representative, for Michael's three children, which Katherine is not. Jackson's mother is in fact only the trio's guardian.
The gossip site suggests that the mistake, along with the fact that Katherine's reps know nothing about the lawsuit, suggests she is not actively involved in this case.
In other MJ-related lawsuit news, Conrad Murray's attorneys asked a federal judge on Wednesday (September 15) to dismiss the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the singer's father, Joe Jackson, because he is not a beneficiary of the late singer's estate. The Associated Press reported that Murray's lawyers equated Joe's lawsuit to a "press-release that is intended to prejudice and inflame the jury pool and the public." The motion will reportedly be considered by a federal judge during a hearing scheduled for Oct. 18.
Joe Jackson sued Murray on June 25, the one-year anniversary of his son's death in 2009 at age 50. His lawsuit claimed the doctor withheld vital information about Jackson's medical history — including a list of all the drugs he had administered to his patient — from paramedics who responded to a 911 call, as well as to doctors at UCLA Medical Center who attempted to revive the singer. At the autopsy for Jackson, the complaint also alleges that Murray "said nothing" about having administered the surgical anesthetic propofol, which the coroner concluded caused Jackson's death. The lawsuit seeks more than $75,000 in damages.

'Dancing With The Stars' Cast Most A-List Ever? Experts Weigh In!
Huge ratings and big stars like the Situation have made 'DWTS' a 'go-to TV show,' says one pop-culture expert.By Jocelyn Vena

With names as recognizable as the Situation, David Hasselhoff, Audrina Patridge, Michael Bolton and "Brady Brunch" vet Florence Henderson, the 11th season of "Dancing With the Stars" is shaping up to be one of the most pop-culturally relevant in the show's five-year history. And experts contend that the show, which premiered on Monday night, now has enough clout to book not only celebrities with a legitimate footnote in pop-culture history but also stars at the peak of their careers.
"Well, I think it's just the nature of the beast, both the show and reality TV in general, that they are bigger now than they were when 'Dancing With the Stars' started," said TVGuide.com staff editor Joyce Eng, explaining why this season packs so much star power. "Two of [the contestants] are reality stars. I don't think it's that surprising for them to do another reality show, especially for the Sitch, capitalizing on his fame now."
David Caplan, an entertainment journalist who has worked at celebrity magazines including People and Star, had another explanation, saying that the show has gone beyond camp value and is now considered by many to be legitimate work. " 'Dancing With the Stars' has established itself as a go-to TV show," he said. "It has incredible ratings, and by doing this show it allows a lot of people to expand their platform. You go on 'Dancing With the Stars' and you generate so much more press. For instance, some celebrity weekly will do a 'How Bristol Palin Got in Shape' story."
So how did it happen? Well, Caplan said, each new season added to a snowball effect. "It started off small," he added, "and then progressed each season as more relevant people realized, 'This is good for my career.' "
Eng added, "As for other big names [besides Audrina and the Situation], the show has pursued certain people for years, and I think it's entirely possible that some stars were skeptical, tentative about signing on in the earlier seasons," she said. "But now that the show has blown up or friends/ old co-stars have gone on [cough] the Hoff [cough], '90210' people, they've joined."
Brad Witter, a reporter at US Weekly, noted that season 11's contestants have the celebrity factor that makes them appealing to viewers — and the tabloids.
"In the past, 'Dancing With the Stars' got the reputation that it's for washed-up people, but as the seasons have gone on, it's gotten more popular, and the ratings are huge," Witter explained. "A lot of people that are on this season are people that have been in the spotlight up until now and are still running in our magazine. This season, it's people that America already cares about and are invested in."
