Depp and Witherspoon honored at People's Choice Awards

Hello it's Wednesday, January 9, 2008. I'm Rebecca Field with today's UPI entertainment update.

Johnny Depp and Reese Witherspoon won big at last night's People's Choice Awards. The actors took favorite female and male star last night. But in the midst of the Writer's Guild strike, the Award ceremony took a different format. The show, broadcast on CBS was hosted by Queen Latifah. No red carpet, trophies were delivered to stars at different locations and acceptance speeches were pre-taped. Other winners included Justin Timberlake who took favorite male singer and Ellen DeGeneres who grabbed favorite talk show host, and favorite funny female star.

Rapper Eminem is recovering from pneumonia. The rapper, who's real name is Marshall Mathers, was reportedly hospitalized recently for complications due to the illness. His publicist says he's now doing well and resting at home. Eminem starred in the 2002 hit film "8 Mile" and has had several top selling albums.

Victoria Beckham is number one on Mr. Blackwell's infamous worst dressed list this year. Beckham or "Posh Spice" topped the annual list for what Blackwell calls her "skinny-mini monstrosities". Right behind her is Amy Winehouse followed by Mary-Kate Olsen. Britney Spears was spared from the list, Mr. Blackwell says he decided commenting on her attire would be inappropriate considering the recent events.

Kate Winslet is reportedly taking over a movie role for Nicole Kidman. People magazine says say Kidman dropped out of her role in "The Reader"...shortly after announcing her pregnancy. Sources say Winslet was originally offered the part, but declined because of scheduling conflicts. Production dates have now changed and Winslet will take over for Kidman. "The reader" is based on a German novel about a teenager who has an affair with an older woman.

A Florida judge is ordering former "American Idol" contestant Jessica Sierra to spend a year in rehab. The singer was arrested last month for disorderly intoxication and obstruction of an officer. The charges violated her probation from prior drug and battery charges. Sierra will appear in upcoming reality TV program "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew"...which was filmed before her most recent arrest. The judge says he thinks a year in a facility will be better than the "low-level" treatment she received on the show.
