The Mega Millions jackpot is up to a record-breaking $640 million, and it’s anybody’s game! Though we won’t know the winning numbers until later this evening, Celebuzz thought we’d take a look back at some of the best TV and movie moments that featured people (like us) hoping to win big.

So, what are some of our favorites that come to mind?

First one for us would be Lost! Though we didn’t know it at the time, when Hurley won the lottery, the winning numbers “4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42″ would play a huge role in the rest of the mysterious series. Watch the video above.

Full House
On an episode of Full House, the gang tries to make Uncle Joey think that he won the lottery by putting an old video in the VCR (remember those?!) and trying to convince him that he had some winning lotto ticket numbers. Well, it looks like the joke ends up being on them! Check out the video here.

It Could Happen to You
In the 1994 flick, It Could Happen to You,Nicolas Cage plays a cop who can’t tip his waitress at a local diner, so promises he will split his lotto earnings with her if he wins. Turns out, he ends up winning – $4 million to be exact! His greedy wife (Rosie Perez) doesn’t want to share it with the waitress (Bridget Fonda), and the cop and his wife end up splitting. But the cop and the waitress end up with the best prize of all — love!

Lottery Ticket
Bow Wow and a number of others starred in the 2010 film, Lottery Ticket, about, “Kevin Carson is a young man living in the projects who has to survive a three-day weekend after his opportunistic neighbors find out he’s holding a winning lottery ticket worth $370 million.”

Windfall
In 2006, Luke Perry starred in a short-lived series called Windfall that dealt with the downsides of winning the lotto among a group of 20 friends who decide to split the money.

Friends
Joey, Chandler, Monica, Ross, Rachel and Phoebe got into a lot of shenenigans over their 10 years of Friends-hip, but perhaps one of the biggest tests for this tight-knit group? The lotto of course! In a episode that aired in 2003, “When everyone except Ross pools together to buy tickets for the lottery, Phoebe gets a prediction from her psychic that they will win. Ross, despite his skepticism, gets in on the action.” Check out a video here!

Early Edition
Before Kyle Chandler took on the role of Coach Taylor in Friday Night Lights, he played Gary Hobson on Early Edition from 1996 to 2000. For some unknown reason, Gary received newspapers a day early, and had 24 hours to “set things right.” One of the first time he realized what was happening to him was when he played winning lotto numbers.

Boy Meets World
On an episode of Boy Meets World, Eric is convinced he has some kind of psychic powers, which he tries to use to win big money.

How I Met Your Mother
When Robin’s citizenship is in question, she considers (horror of all horrors!) taking a job as the “Lotto Girl.” But not before Barney has some (hilarious) fun at the current Lotto Girl’s expense.

The Office
On The Office, the warehouse guys win the lottery! Which can’t be good for the actual office folks at Dunder-Mifflin.

Which moment is your fave? Are there any we left out? Let us know in the comments!

Along with his Glee co-star Naya Rivera, the 29-year-old hunky Canuck hosted the GLAAD Media Awards in New York City last night, and things got a little steamy when both emcees auctioned off onstage kisses for the cause. At first, Cory’s highest bidder was none other than Hollywood heartthrob John Stamos. The former Glee guest star put down $5000 to plant one on Cory but was eventually one-upped by Smash‘s Megan Hilty.

But John did get a kiss of his own that night..

As the bidding went on, Stamos himself hopped on the stage to auction off a smooch as well! Naya, Cory, and John each raked in $5000 for a kiss. Soon after the auction’s end, the winning bidders were greeted on stage and awarded with their kiss. Naya’s suitor gracefully dipped the brunette stunner for a passionate smooch while John planted a quick peck on his strapping male bidder.

Um, so is anyone hoping for round two here?

Which celeb would you’ve liked to kiss? Tell us in the comments.

First, Prince Harry stepped out in a suit in London, then George Clooney hit the red carpet at his film premiere in Venice, and now we have John Stamos on set of his latest project in Canada.

The paps caught the sexy 48 (!) year-old actor chatting on his cell phone in between filming scenes for the TV movie Secrets of Eden.

Not much is known about the project, but we do know that he is making an appearance in the star-studded movie New Year’s Eve, out in December. Check out the trailer below!

Last week, we asked our readers who YOU want to see shake their groove things on Dancing With the Stars and we have to admit, we’re pretty impressed with some of the answers!

While there were lots of expected responses, there were a few that caught us by surprise and made us wish we had thought of them first!

Some of the best picks? Fashion mogul Kimora Lee Simmons, actor John Stamos, the curvaceous Coco and country crooner Tim McGraw (to name a few).

While the brainstorming got us hyped for the upcoming seaosn, sadly we have to wait one more week to officially find out who will comprise the new cast when it’s announced on ABC during The Bachelor Pad on August 29.

Celebuzz enjoys this video so much that we went on a hunt for other music videos that feature some of our favorite celebs lip-syncing along. What did we find, you ask?

Plenty! Jaleel White‘s recent appearance in Cee-Lo Green‘s “Cry Baby” is just the latest in many.

Check out Sara Bareilles’ “Uncharted” above, and then enjoy the rest of our fun finds below.

Which celeb would you like to see make a lip-syncing appearance in a music video? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

The duo, who are currently prepping to star in a production of the hit broadway show Hairspray at the Hollywood Bowl, had a little fun and shared it on Twitter.

John had an endearing term for the JoBro, while Nick poked a little fun at the former Full House star.

John tweeted this photo and said:

“me and my slightly younger brother @nickjonas studying for HAIRSPRAY.”

While Nick fired back:

“Try slightly senile grandfather: )”

All in good fun we’re sure!

The musical, based on the 1988 cult classic directed by John Waters, is about an overweight girl in the 1960s who fights for civil rights via a popular dance show in her home town of Baltimore. It was also turned into a film in 2007 with stars such as Zac Efron and John Travolta each playing roles.

Running the weekend of August 5, it also will feature Harvey Fierstein and Marissa Jaret Winokur who originated the roles of Edna and Tracey Turnblad (respectively). Corbin Bleu and Drew Carey will have roles as well.

“Renee was in great spirits, giggling, happy, seemed to be super excited. And John was making her laugh. Very charming,” says the report.

Sources tell us the sighting is correct. Let us stop right here and say we think this is pretty adorable. So is there anything going on between the two?

“They have been friends for many years,” an insider close to Renee tells Celebuzz.

But isn’t that how the best relationships start?

Our source was not quick to elaborate if there was any possibility the longtime pals may explore whether they could be more than friends.

Hmm. We could see it!

Zellweger and Bradley Cooper split back in March, and aside from a few rumors linking the actress to John Mayer, Renee has kept a low profile.

Would you like to see the Oscar winner and Glee guest star heat things up? Let us know on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr!

First up at the front line is Johnny Depp. Depp is sexy for so many reasons, one of which being his turn as a Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates movies. He could kidnap us any day! But sometimes there’s no need to search the seas, when you can spot a hottie right in The Office, like John Krasinski.

So, which man do we go mad over?

Jon Hamm gives meaning to madness! And what’s a war without an ambush? John Mayer has definitely ambushed the media with his ups and downs, but let’s admit — he holds a pretty steady spot in our hearts.

Now it’s time for those hotties who are oldies but goodies. John Stamos may have started out as a heartthrob on Full House, but his hotness has only grown throughout the years. And last but surely not least is Jon Bon Jovi. He has woman from all eras swooning over his hunkiness, so its safe to say that his hotness is timeless.

So whether its Jon, John, or Johnny, these babes have us stuttering their names.

Check out all these photos of the hot Johns in the gallery, then cast your vote for who YOU think is the hottest on the poll! (PS, if you’re going to vote for Mayer, let us know by dropping a comment!)

Let’s not let the men get all the attention—make sure to check Celebuzz’s gallery of the hot Jessicas.

]]> The beloved Broadway musical Hairspray will be revived for one weekend only at the Hollywood Bowl this summer and it seems the cast is shaping up to be quite star-studded.

The LA Times reports that Nick Jonas will take on the role of heartthrob Link Larkin while John Stamos will play Corny Collins, when the show makes its run the weekend of August 5.

So, who else will be joining them?

Harvey Fierstein and Marissa Jaret Winokur who originated the roles of Edna and Tracey Turnblad (respectively) will revive their roles for the show. Corbin Bleu and Drew Carey will have roles as well.

The musical, based on the 1988 cult classic directed by John Waters, is about an overweight girl in the 1960s who fights for civil rights via a popular dance show in her home town of Baltimore. It was also turned into a film in 2007 with stars such as Zac Efron and John Travolta each playing roles.

Fun fact, none other than Matthew Morrison originated the role of Link when Hairspray made its debut on Broadway.

Check out a video of the original Broadway cast performing “You Can’t Stop the Beat” at the Tony Awards:

What do you think of the casting choices? Will you go see it? Let us know by hitting us up on Twitter or Facebook!

The rumor of John replacing Charlie may have started via John’s own Twitter, but that idea has quickly gained steam. E! Online reports that the Glee actor spoke with producers of the show, but nothing is set in stone just yet.

This potential casting got Celebuzz thinking — many actors get caught up in the face paced Hollywood lifestyle, which can definitely take a toll on them physically, but there are some stars who have only begun to hit their handsome-ness stride.

From ’80s heartthrobs who still have it, to men who have evolved into silver foxes, these actors are the personification of aging gracefully.

Take a look through the gallery and tell us in the comments, who is your favorite dreamboat?

And we don’t just mean career wise either. Uncle Jesse is looking pretty smokin’ these days if you ask us. Fans seems to agree with, as the cameras caught ladies flocking to the sexy actor after a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live!

What do you think of John Stamos on Glee? Leave us your thoughts in the comments!

If you can’t wait to get your “Time Warp” on, we’ve got just the fix for you: five juicy little tidbits about the long-awaited episode. There might be some spoilers ahead, so if you want to save everything for tonight, read no further.

1. Rocky Horror Brings out Emma’s Wild Side

Avid watchers of Glee know just how uptight Emma is and how much it’s affected her relationship with Mr. Schue. So when Will finds out Emma and new her boyfriend Carl (John Stamos) frequent Rocky Horror midnight shows, Mr. Schue decides to put on a production of the cult classic.

Stamos says in an interview released by Fox: “Will gets jealous because he thinks, ‘How can Carl get Emma into a dirty theater where they’re throwing toast and squirting stuff?’ That’s so anti-Emma. So he sees that I’m really kind of loosening her up and really making her sort of enjoy her life a little more.”

Emma’s new boyfriend even inspires her to do some singing! Emma will belt out the Rocky Horror classic “Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me,” which was actually Jayma Mays‘ audition song for Glee. She says: “It’s the perfect song for Emma. I love the fact that it’s a very sweet song and she wants to get dirty.”

2. There Will be Abs

Glee boasts some of the hottest actors around and doing Rocky Horror for an episode was a perfect excuse for the guys to ditch their shirts.

Newcomer Chord Overstreet will don the infamous gold shorts as Rocky Horror himself, but don’t worry, we’ll get to sneak a peek at Finn and Mr. Schue’s abs too.

“This is an ab-tastic show. I will be showing some abs, Finn will be showing some abs and Sam will be showing some abs,” Matthew Morrison says in an interview clip from Fox. “I know Chord, who plays Sam, and I have been hitting the gym pretty hard.”

3. Don’t Call him “Mr. Loaf”

Original Rocky Horror star Meat Loaf will make a special appearance in the episode, and the cast couldn’t have been more excited.

But as Stamos says, there was Loaf-related etiquette to learn: “I heard everybody was excited to see Meat Loaf. I didn’t talk to him much, but you have to call him ‘Meat,’ not ‘Mr. Loaf.’ He likes to be called ‘Meat.”

4. Mercedes Gets Her Drag On

Good Gleeks knows how fierce a diva Mercedes is, so it makes sense that she would take on the most important role in Rocky Horror, the tranny-licious Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

In the episode, Mike Chang was originally supposed to take on the role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, but his parents don’t approve, so Mercedes is more than happy to oblige the New Directions gang.

Amber Riley tells Fox that she “loves drag queens” and that playing a male drag was quite “easy.” She also said: “Besides that outfit being absolutely horrifying, it was so tight, but when I was in it, it made me feel like a man in a dress! It kind of made me feel like ferocious, and I wanted to come at it from all angles and just attack that song and attack the dance.”

5. Matthew Morrison is a Rocky Horror Pro

Morrison brought some some very solid experience to the Rocky Horror episode.

“It takes me back because I actually did the show on Broadway,” Morrison revealed. “It was my second Broadway show. Hearing all the songs again and being a part of this crazy, crazy environment that this kind of show brings out, it’s a lot of fun.”

The former Full House hunk will play dentist Dr. Carl Howell, who gives a check-up to Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) and administers anesthesia to the rest of the cast, sparking a series of Britney-inspired dream sequences.

The 47-year-old actor appeared on Ryan Seacrest‘s radio show this morning to discuss the guest spot, revealing an awkward encounter with Glee cast member Heather Morris while filming: 

“I’m in this dentist’s chair, and [Morris is] basically giving me a lapdance.”

So, how did Stamos, um, maintain his professionalism during the scene? The actor notes,

“You think of your grandmother.”

Thinking about his grandma, even while he’s at work. Aww, how sweet!

Check out a clip from Stamos’ Glee guest stint in the video below. Will you be tuning in? Let us know in the comments section.

By now, we all know the former Full House star has been tapped to play the teeth cleaning love interest of the adorable Emma, but here is a quick peek of Mr. Stamos at work!

Much-revered former America’s Funniest Home Videos host Bob Saget turned 54 on May 17, and over the weekend he was thrown a birthday bash by former Full House co-star John Stamos at Stamos’ home. Among the party guests? None other than Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson, who lately has been in the Southern California area to film his upcoming movie Water for Elephants.

We have no idea how Edward Cullen came to know the former Danny Tanner well enough to score an invite to his b’day bash. We only wish that the Olsen Twins had been there too, because that would have been the bestest birthday party ever.

Splash reports that Fey and Stamos both happened to be enjoying Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom with their families in Lake Buena Vista, Florida on the same day.

The two stars gamely posed with three icons from Disney’s multi-princessed kingdom for a quick snap at Cinderella’s castle.

Fey is the star and executive producer of cool NBC comedy 30 Rock, and Stamos stars on ER, which is in it’s last season.

Wait, maybe this wasn’t random! Maybe NBC is just that insidious when it comes to marketing!
