Cameron Diaz in her bald scene during filming in Santa Monica, Calif.

The "What Happens in Vegas" star shocked onlookers in Santa Monica, Calif., Wednesday when she filmed a scene for her upcoming movie sans hair.

Cameron Diaz joked with photographers that she shaved off her blonde tresses for the role, although it appears she simply wore a bald cap.

The actress, 35, plays a mother who shaves her head to support her deathly ill daughter in the film, "My Sister's Keeper."

Unknown actress Sofia Vassilieva plays Diaz's on-screen daughter who battles leukemia; "Little Miss Sunshine" star Abigail Breslin plays her other daughter.

The film is based on Jodi Picoult's best-selling 2004 novel of the same name.


West Village residents on West 13th Street in New York have been

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
wondering if a presidential candidate moved into the neighborhood.

The celebrity website janetcharltonshollywood reports the streets are clogged with black SUVs full of bodyguards around the clock.

It turned out it's only Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen. The twins rented a 10-room apartment with five bedrooms for $12,000 a month.

One neighbor remarked that the girls "Certainly keep late hours. I was jogging early one morning and they were piling out of their gas guzzlers in their little club outfits."


Yeardley Smith — who voices Lisa Simpson on the hit Fox toon — has filed for divorce from her husband of four years, Daniel Erickson.

According to a petition filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, she cited irreconcilable differences, TMZ.com reports.

She is requesting that she not be ordered to pay spousal support.

It isn't her first split: In 1990, she wed actor Christopher Grove but called it quits in 1992.

Smith, 43 — who originally auditioned for the role of Bart -- has admitted that she battled bulimia before the age of 13.

She said her eating disorder got worse when she failed to achieve her personal goal of winning

an Oscar by age 30.

"I would turn all of my anger and disappointment in on myself, which would be an instant unfailing trigger for my bulimia, which was already raging out of control," she told Newsweek in 2005.

She said she hasn't binged and purged since 2003.

Playing Lisa Simpson - who had an eating disorder - has been a way "to work out a lot of my own childhood social angst," Smith has said.


Michael Lohan has filed papers in Nassau County to reopen his divorce from Dina Lohan, whose E! reality show "Living Lohan," about her attempt to launch yet another child into show business, debuts Monday night.

He wants to see more of his two minor kids, Ali, 14 and Cody, 11, and she has broken the deal

they made when they split, Lohan told the New York Daily News. It's up to their two adult children, Lindsay, 21, and actor Michael, 20, to visit him on their own.

"I gave her the house, the furniture, the dogs, the bank accounts, the $200,000 she owed me, just to see my kids," he said. "She doesn't bring them to see me. I haven't seen my kids in two months. She brought them to Vegas for her reality show, then to California. Before that, she missed 15 out of 29 appointments."

Michael, a former futures trader who became a Christian counselor after doing time for "aggravated" driving and attempted assault, wanted to give his ex just one more chance on Tuesday, when he was supposed to meet his son and daughter in the presence of a

therapist. The former beauty queen was a no-show.

Nashville, Tenn. — Christian singer-songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman may be well known for his music, but many others recognize him as an advocate who has helped hundreds of couples adopt orphans from other countries.

A number of adoption groups offered their prayers and sympathy to Chapman and his family Thursday, a day after his 5-year-old daughter was accidentally struck and killed by a car driven by her brother. Maria was the youngest of three daughters Chapman and his wife, Mary Beth, adopted from China.

"The adoption community is devastated for the family," said Brenda Barker, director of the Children's Hope International's office in Tennessee. "They've given money to me personally for me to adopt two children ... thousands of families have benefited from their generosity and commitment." The little girl was hit Wednesday by an SUV driven by her 17-year-old brother, Will Franklin Chapman, in the driveway of their home in Franklin, Tenn., according to Tennessee Department of Safety spokesman Mike Browning.

"We're investigating and will turn it over to the D.A., but every appearance is that it was a terrible accident," Browning said.

Chapman is one of the most popular contemporary gospel singers, with 16 studio albums, five Grammies and 54 Dove Awards from the Gospel Music Association.

After the Chapmans adopted their daughter, Shaohannah, they formed The Shaohannah's Hope Ministry in 2003 to aid other couples.
