Kara DioGuardi's run as a judge on "American Idol" is over, and she's speaking out about the turn of events.

"I felt like I won the lottery when I joined 'American Idol' two years ago, but I feel like now is the best time to leave 'Idol,'" DioGuardi says.

"I am very proud to have been associated with 'American Idol' – it has truly been an amazing experience," she continues. "I am grateful to FOX, FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment, as well as the cast, crew and contestants, for all they have given to me. I look forward to my next challenge, and want to thank everyone who has supported me. All the best to everyone on Season 10!"

A man charged with attempted felony burglary on Paris Hilton's L.A. home last week has pleaded not guilty.

Nathan Lee Parada entered his plea on Friday and remains behind bars, with his bail set at $50,000, the Associated Press says. He's expected back in court on Sept. 15 for a preliminary hearing.

Parada was arrested the morning of August 24 following the alleged break-in attempt on Hilton's home. The hotel heiress tweeted about the incident, writing, "So scary, just got woken up to a guy trying to break into my house holding 2 big knifes."

Jennifer Grey is opening up about how "Dancing with the Stars" led to the discovery that she had cancer and saved her from a potentially devastating spinal injury.

ET confirms a report in which Jennifer says it was only after she was approached to do "DWTS" that she finally went to a surgeon about her nagging neck pain.

According to Jennifer, a spinal surgeon learned that a car accident Jennifer had years back had ripped ligaments in her neck and had degenerated. The doctor told the iconic 'Dirty Dancing' actress that she was one car accident or one fall away from being paralyzed. Jennifer soon underwent surgery to correct the compressed nerves in her neck, and says she feels great today.

There's lots of buzz on Michael Douglas today ever since his brave appearance on "Late Show with David Letterman" this week, from fans wishing him well to doctors talking about his prognosis.

Michael is continuing his chemotherapy and radiation treatments for the tumor in his throat. Dr. Travis Stork of "The Doctors" is not treating the 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' star, but he says Michael has another important weapon in beating his stage four cancer.

"Positive attitude plays such a huge role in recovery," Dr. Stork tells ET. "We see it with all of our patients, particularly with cancer, because you can let it get you down or, like Michael Douglas is doing, you can say, 'Look, we're going to attack this.' If you have a positive outlook you're going to do better."

Have you ever been on vacation with your parents when you meet what could be the man of your dreams? That's just the predicament Katherine Heigl finds herself in when she meets Ashton Kutcher in their romantic action-comedy 'Killers' -- coming to DVD and Blu-ray Tuesday, September 7 -- and she sure is embarrassed! Check out our exclusive alternate scene from the movie…

In 'Killers,' Katherine plays Jen, a freshly single woman on vacation with her parents (Tom Selleck and Catherine O'Hara) in the French Riviera when she runs into Spencer (Ashton), the man of her dreams – who just happens to be a killer spy.

Cut to three years later: Just as the happy newlyweds are settling into domestic bliss, the bullets start flying! As they battle the baddies, can they keep up neighborly appearances, manage the in-laws and work out some major trust issues?

ET sat down with Vogue's Editor-At-Large Andre Leon Talley Thursday in New York City to get the fashion 411 on the largest public fashion show in New York City history.

Naomi Campbell, Gisele Bündchen and Adriana Lima are just three of the 150 models set to strut on the runway at the Lincoln Center, where some of Vogue’s hottest fall trends will be on display.

The show is meant to inspire people to shop next Friday, September 10 for Fashion’s Night Out.

Jennifer Aniston, who's set to guest star on "Cougar Town," was snapped taking a car ride with the show's Josh Hopkins on Thursday night.

Aniston is reuniting with her former "Friends" costar Courteney Cox on the small screen for the season-two premiere of "Cougar Town" later this month. She'll play Jules' (Cox) therapist, Bonnie, who gets too involved in her client's life.

Meanwhile, Josh plays Jules' single and minglin' neighbor, Grayson Ellis.

ET has learned that Chris Klein appeared in a California court today and entered a plea in his DUI case.

Klein pleaded no contest to DUI and is required to complete four years of probation, 96 hours of jail time (which he has completed) and 18 months in an alcohol program.

The star was arrested for his second DUI back in June and checked himself into rehab soon after.

It was a shutterbug swarm as George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis attempted to leave Ago restaurant in West Hollywood Thursday night.

George helped Elisabetta with her seat belt -- she was blinded by the light -- and then carefully drove off in his Lotus, taking care not to hit any of the paparazzi.

The paparazzi feeding frenzy to capture intimate moments on tape of Kat Von D and Jesse James has clearly begun!

The couple dodged video cameras on Thursday night while exiting the Wonderland gallery opening in West Hollywood where Kat told People magazine "I believe he is [the one]."

Jesse was seen attempting to dart away from the scene when one paparazzo asked "Do you regret cheating on Sandra". He eventually circled back to the passenger seat of Kat Von D's Bentley convertible and the two successfully escaped with only a minimal amount of insults hurled at them.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Sigourney Weaver play former high school rivals who cross paths years later just as younger generation Kristen Bell and Odette Yustman have the same experience in the Disney comedy 'You Again.' The stars tell ET how they bonded on the set -- and had a blast filming with Betty White!

"We'd all just sit there with our jaws dropped, because she has it all," says Jamie Lee of Betty. Odette says of the 88-year-old phenomenon, "She's just so vivacious and has this big personality and she's always on it." And Kristen adds, "Not only is she the funniest person in the room, but she's usually the dirtiest. She's somewhat of an open book in that regard."

In 'You Again,' in theaters September 24, Kristen plays Marni, a successful public relations pro who is horrified to learn that her brother Will (Jimmy Wolk) is going to marry the girl who made her life miserable in high school, Joanna (Odette). Not content to endure the misery to come, Kristen sets out to expose Joanna's evil ways. Meanwhile, it turns out the bride's jet-setting aunt Ramona (Sigourney) and Marni's stationary mom, Gail (Jamie Lee), have their own less-than-dignified high school history. In no time, the claws come out and old wounds are reopened in this outrageous generational comedy.

From rhinestones and spandex to a jumpsuit and helmet, "Dancing with the Stars" finalist Erin Andrews told ET who she thinks will set the pace this season in the race for the mirror ball trophy. The ESPN beauty was a Georgia peach at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, revealing her inner speed demon.

A fearless Erin told former NASCAR driver Dale Jarrett to put the pedal to the metal and reached speeds up to 170 mph. She's used to another certain someone whipping her around in circles--former "DWTS" partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Playing down rumors of a romance, she said, "We talk all the time and he will always have a special place in my heart. He's one of my dearest friends."

Whether or not he has won over her heart romantically has yet to be seen, but he certainly has won over her vote. "I will always cheer for Maks and I'll be voting for Maks and Brandy," she said. "I know he's very excited about her and I know she could probably walk in heels better than I can."

The "CSI: Miami" team loses one of its own when a psychotic genius goes on a killing spree on the ninth season premiere of the CBS hit drama.

"It is part of the job. You always feel you are prepared [for the loss], but then it is a real shock," David Caruso, who plays Horatio Caine, tells ET.

"When a cop dies, it is a heavy blow whether you knew him or didn't know him, worked with him or didn't work with him," Adam Rodriguez (Eric Delko) adds. "Anytime you do a job where your life is on the line every day and somebody pays the ultimate price, it is a heavy thing to deal with."

Margaret Cho can count on two superfans to vote her through "Dancing with the Stars."

Sharing a personal note from her father on her blog, she writes, "Email from my dad after telling him I was on DWTS –- he is so cute –- lots of love and works indeed."

The email from her father reads: Do you know that dancing with the stars is the only TV program we watch. We are extremely pleased with your appearing on that show. Really looking forward!!! So exciting !!! Lots of good luck & works!!! Dad with love ... of course we will be there.

Did Ali Larter accidentally release the gender of her unborn child during a recent interview?

Evidently it's a boy! While promoting her new movie "Resident Evil: Afterlife," Ali admitted that she doesn't understand videogames, but will her baby be a gamer? "Well, after watching these movies and hearing all the gunfire I don't know what he's - it's - going to turn out like," the actress told Fox News -- apparently revealing that she is expecting to have a boy.

34-year-old Larter and her writer/actor husband Hayes MacArthur are expecting their first child this winter.

"Mad Men" star Rich Sommer, and wife Virginia, have a new addition to their family.

According to People.com, the couple welcomed Patrick Ryan Sommer into the world on Tuesday, August 31. Little Patrick weighed 7 pounds, 9 ounces.

"We are loving hanging with our happy, healthy baby boy, and appreciate our family and friends joining us in celebrating this exciting time," Rich told People.
