Will Smith wants to play Barack Obama.

He says, "It's about the ears! That's the thing. You know, people see the ears, and Barack and I both have the ears. So I'm the most natural choice."

Britney Spears' X Factor contract calls for her dressing room to be stocked with fried chicken, 12 Snickers bars and 24 cans of Coke. A source tells Closer magazine, “Insiders say the deal Simon has struck means he's only paying her per episode. So if she's not performing, then she'll be replaced, just like Cheryl Cole was last year. Spears also reportedly wants a 24-member support staff that has nothing to do with the actual show. She doesn’t want “random people approaching her” that haven’t been given her approval or touched by her greatness."

If you're flying the summer, you'll have a harder time getting a window or aisle seat or being seated with your family and friends if you don't want to pay an extra fee. U.S. airlines are reserving a growing number of window and aisle seats for frequent flyers and passengers willing to pay an extra fee. That means that there are fewer groups of seats together, making it difficult for people traveling together to sit together, including families. Airlines say their gate agents try to help family members sit together, especially those with small children, but there's no guarantee. In order to increase the chances of getting the seats you want, book as early as possible, two or more months in advance. Alternately, check five days before departure because that's when some elite fliers are upgraded to first class, or 24 hours in advance when online check-in starts.
