Suddenly band camp got a lot more glamorous! A 20-year-old Cranston, Rhode Island native – who talked about her love of the cello and spending her summers at band camp – was the winner of Sunday's 61st Annual Miss USA Pageant.

A movie detailing Casey Anthony's 2011 murder trial will soon be hitting the small screen — and while the cast includes some well-known actors, a relative newcomer has landed the role of the controversial single mother.

A rep for Lifetime confirms to Yahoo! TV that Holly Deveaux, a Canadian actress, has been cast as 26-year-old Casey, the Florida mom convicted of lying to police as they investigated the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, in their upcoming movie "Imperfect Justice." This is the biggest role to date for the 19-year-old Casey look-alike — who reportedly beat out Kristen Stewart, Alyssa Milano, and Jennifer Love Hewitt — for the part.

Deveaux's credits include several TV shows in her native Canada, including the high school drama "Baxter," the TNT telepic "Silent Witness" with Anne Heche and Dermot Mulroney, and most recently the movie short "Wake Me Up." "I'm lucky to have been able to do wide variety of roles

Snooki will soon have a new man in her life. The "Jersey Shore" star is expecting a baby boy!

The reality TV star, whose real name is Nicole Polizzi, has announced that she and her fiancé, Jionni LaValle, will be having a son when that little meatball arrives late this summer.

The news that she's having a boy actually caught Snooki off guard. Her personal hunch was that she was expecting a girl, so she was initially disappointed. “Everyone said I was going to have a boy, and they were right!” Snooki told In Touch. “I thought it was going to be a girl. I was hoping it would be, because all girls want girls." However, she added: "It’s still my baby, no matter what. I’m excited either way!”

Michaels is in the 6/4 issue of People (Andrew Macpherson)Jillian Michaels is diving into motherhood at full throttle. The trainer has not one but two new little ones at home.

After a two-year journey, Michaels finally became a mother to the Haitian girl she had long been matched with. The lengthy adoption process was completed earlier this month and she brought Lukensia, 2, home to Los Angeles.

Coincidentally, the very week that the one-time "Biggest Loser" trainer completed her adoption of Lukensia, her partner, Heidi Rhoades, gave birth to a son. The baby boy, who they named Phoenix, was born on May 3.

“We’re swimming in babies over here,” Michaels, 38, tells People. “I don’t even answer email. I don’t have time to care about anything else. I want to be really present and enjoy all the nuances of their growth and development. I don’t want to rush any of it.”

Michaels, who now appears as a fitness expert on "Dr. Phil," has long dreamed of starting a family. In fact, when she

CBSFor the first time in 13 years, Conan O'Brien appeared as a guest on David Letterman's show Thursday night and it didn't take long for the two comedians to start talking about Jay Leno. In fact, it was the first topic of the night and the conversation lasted until the commercial break, complete with head-shaking, finger-pointing impressions of the "The Tonight Show" host.

Two years after the big "Tonight Show" shakeup, O'Brien took a seat next to "The Late Show with David Letterman" host, who has had his own feud with Leno over the years despite appearing in a Super Bowl ad together in 2010, and the men sat in silence for a brief period, pretending they had nothing to talk about. Letterman broke the ice, quipping: "The longer we just sit here, the more uncomfortable it will make Jay." That was all O'Brien needed, quickly launching into a Jay impression: "You know Jay's watching right now. He's getting a live feed in a satellite truck right now. He is watching every second. 'Dave looks

Stern with The Talk co-hosts (Craig Blankenhorn/CBS)As is his nature, Howard Stern takes over the show when he sits down with the ladies from "The Talk" on Thursday, but the new addition to the "America's Got Talent" judges' table also shows a romantic side. That's because his wife, Beth Ostrosky, makes a rare joint appearance with him for the interview — and the King of All Media softens up (a little!) around the missus.

"Oh, it's classic Howard," the show moderator Julie Chen tells Yahoo! TV of Stern's appearance. "I'm convinced that because he's so funny he already knows what he's going to do before he steps onstage. He takes control [of the show]. We didn't even ask a question. Every time we did, he just veered into what he wanted to talk about!"
