Rupert Murdoch has been tweeting a lot lately from everything to Prince Harry to his thoughts on the popular anti-Barack Obama documentary.

While Murdoch's recent tweets have been gaining media attention, the  mogul may have another reason to be talking about anything but his troubled News Corp. 

His latest tweet storm comes during new arrests in his News Corp. scandal that not only deals with phone hacking, but now, potentially computer hacking as well. 

This morning Bloomberg reported British newspapers arrested two ex-employees suspected in separate cases of phone hacking and computer hacking.

From Bloomberg: 

“The phone-hacking scandal could be eclipsed by Rupert Murdoch’s unexploded bomb of computer hacking,” Labour Party lawmaker Tom Watson, who sat on a committee probing News Corp., said in an e-mail today. “It’s infecting all his U.K. titles already and the investigation has only really just begun.”

In addition, former head lawyer of Murdoch's "News of the World," Tom Crone, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of conspiracy to intercept communications. 

If this is true, Murdoch may want to keep tweeting away.

Just a day after celebrating her 30th birthday with a big smile, LeAnn Rimes has checked into a treatment facility seeking help to cope with emotional issues.

"LeAnn has voluntarily entered a 30 day in-patient treatment facility to cope with anxiety and stress," her rep Marcel Pariseau revealed to People. "While there will be speculation regarding her treatment, she is simply there to learn and develop coping mechanisms. While privacy isn't expected, it's certainly appreciated."

After Rime's noticable weight loss in recent years, rumors of anorexia have been rampant.

But Rimes herself insists in a statement to People, "This is just a time for me to emotionally check out for a second and take care of myself and come back in 30 days as the best 30-year-old woman I can be. All the things in my life will be there when I get out, but you know what? I'm hoping they're not going to affect me as much. I'll have the tools to know how to deal with them."

The country star will even be able to keep her weekend touring commitments, so as not to disappoint fans. Rimes is set to be released from the treatment facility in time to promote her upcoming album "Spitfire" this fall.

Despite her difficulties, Rimes has a sturdy foundation of support waiting behind-the-scenes.

"My wife is the most remarkable and courageous woman I know," husband Eddie Cibrian tells People. "I am so proud of her for having the strength to finally take some time for herself. I will be with her every step of the way."

The 44-year-old music producer and founder of Violater Entertainment managament was found "dead from a gunshot wound in his Bronx home," reports The Wrap. "A firearm was recovered, but the police are still determining whether or not it was self-inflicted"

Lighty was responsible for negotiating 50 Cent's "lucrative deal with Vitmain Water, which netted both Jackson and Light millions when Coca-Cola bought Vitamin Water parent company Energy," reports The Wrap.

The rapper has yet to speak out on the loss of his longtime business associate, but commentary is coming in from fellow celebs via Twitter. 

"R.I.P CHRIS LIGHT THE MAN THAT SAVED MY LIFE!!!” tweeted Fat Joe, a fellow New Yorker.

Music journalist and cultural commentator Toure posted, “Chris Lighty, smart and successful record exec, and an undeniably great guy, is dead. Self inflicted gunshot wound. Tragic.”

Last night, Clint Eastwood put on a show at the Republican National Convention.  

The 82-year-old actor-director took the stage as Mitt Romney's "mystery speaker" holding a one-sided debate with an empty chair who he referred to as President Obama. 

Twitter quickly flooded with responses to Eastwood's bizarre one-man show, with reactions both praising and poking fun at the actor-director. 

The Obama Campaign got in on the act, slamming Eastwood's speech. And, there was even an account created for an "Invisible Obama" which now has more than 40,000 followers. 

Hollywood joined in, too, with a wide range of actors and television personalities giving their take on the wacky speech.

Chris Rock, Seth Meyers, and Charlie Daniels enjoyed Eastwood's bit:

Bob Newhart, George Takei, and Albert Brooks found it amusing: 

However, Donna Brazile, Piers Morgan, and Roger Ebert weren't digging Eastwood's act.

Earlier this month, Prince Harry was photographed partying naked in Vegas. Reports also emerged that there might be a video of his antics. 

And now RadarOnline is reporting that the prince was keeping some unsavory company, including an alleged drug dealer and prostitute: 

"A really good friend of mine is a cocaine dealer and texted me from the hotel room while the party was happening and said, 'Guess where I am?!?'" a source exclusively told RadarOnline.com. "Turns out he was in the Wynn suite with Harry, his pals and all those girls."

RadarOnline.com has confirmed that at least one of the women partying in Harry's suite has been known to prostitute and accept money and gifts for sexual favors."

The site also reported about a wild scene in the hotel room, with multiple kinds of drugs. 

Prince Charles reportedly told Harry not to apologize for the photos, and the Royal Family is hoping the scandal will blow over. 

Harry is expected to make an appearance at the Paralympics this week.

LeAnn Rimes has emotional distress from the distribution of an unauthorized phone call.

According to TMZ, the singer is suing two unfriendly Twitter followers known currently only as Kimberly and Lexi Smiley for illegally taping a conversation and then posting it online.

According to the report filed, the Smileys have lashed out at Rimes due to an alleged cheating scandal which ended Brandi Gianville's marriage to Rimes' current husband Eddie Cibrian. 

The two are believed to be supporters of Gianville. 

Excerpts from the phone call were posted on sites like lunaticleannrimes.blogspot.com, Cherbit, and crazydaysandnights.net. 

Audio claims Rimes was "vindictive" towards a bullying Gianville. 

The suit claims these "out-of-context" excerpts feature Rimes in a false and negative light, painting Rimes as "crazy and delusional." The singer claims the distribution ultimately contributed to the her recent check-in to a treatment facility for stress management.

Rimes is seeking a trial by jury and could be granted $5000 or three times the amount of actual damages. 

You can view the original lawsuit HERE.

We won't run the audio here, but you can listen to it HERE.

On December 31, Eva Longoria will be ringing in more than just the new year,

The "Desperate Housewives" star's new Las Vegas steakhouse, SHe, will open its doors for a party to celebrate the restaurant catered towards women.

While either gender is allowed to dine in the establishment, SHe will have a 1920s theme and feature a catwalk, 3D projection mapping, cryogenic fog and rain curtains.

Upon arriving, diners will walk up a modeling runway to one of several art-deco inspired levels. Chef Todd Mark Miller says guests can expect "modern boutique steakhouse style" food and a DJ will run the party filled with dancers. 

“The DJ is a conductor of the experience, the star is the guests...The show happens around you,” Epic's Steve Gogalab told Eater Vegas.

As back-to-school approaches, we decided to explore what some megastars look like in their yearbook photos. 

Stars, they're just like us. 

The photos we found on YouTube are full of bad haircuts and goofy smiles. Lady Gaga looks relatively normal, while diva Jennifer Lopez sports a pixie cut. 

Megan Fox looks gorgeous, Owen Wilson is ridiculously polished, and Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan look very innocent. 

The future celebrities' star power and beauty still shine through in many of the photos. 

Cameron Diaz was already beautiful as a high school student in Long Beach, California.

Christina Aguilera grew up in Rochester, Pennsylvania and looks adorable in her photo.

Eva Longoria hasn't aged at all since she was a high school student in Corpus Christi, Texas.

For decades, the Church of Scientology has tried to recruit celebrity members.

The group's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, felt that famous people would increase the church's visibility and influence. 

But now that visibility has put the church at the center of its biggest crisis ever, Tony Ortega at the Village Voice reports. 

Scientology's most recent publicity crisis is the Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes divorce. The media speculated that Katie left because she didn't want her daughter to be involved in the church.

Then, Vanity Fair reported that the church held auditions for Cruise's third wife and allegedly punished one of the candidates by making her scrub toilets with a toothbrush. 

There's also the issue of John Travolta, who has been slapped with sexual harassment lawsuits from massage therapists. This led to reporting about the Scientology's alleged problem with homosexuality. 

Tom Cruise and John Travolta are just the beginning of the church's scandals. Character actor Jason Beghe and Oscar-winning director Paul Haggis both loudly and publicly left the church and decried its teachings. 

And Narconon Arrowhead, the church's drug treatment facility, is under fire because three people died there in a nine-month period. The program was endorsed by Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Kirstie Alley. 

Scientology's celebrity members brought the church notoriety. But it also amplifies its scandals. 

Read Ortega's full analysis here.

Vanity Fair's Maureen Orth wrote an amazing exposé on how the Church of Scientology allegedly controls Tom Cruise's life and relationships. 

We scored a copy of Vanity Fair at a nearby newsstand (the issue is currently only available in NYC) and read Orth's story.

Here are some of her most interesting claims: 

• Orth reports that the church saw Nicole Kidman as a threat to Cruise's spiritual well-being. Cruise and Kidman's two children, Bella and Connor, then ages six and eight, were reportedly told their mother was such a person and said they "hated seeing her."

• Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise went their separate ways after she was dismissed by Scientology leader David Miscavige for maintaining her Buddhist beliefs.

• The church was allegedly desperate to find Cruise an appropriate girlfriend because he was poised to donate millions to new buildings for Scientology and they feared an outsider could threaten the project. The church denies that there was ever such a project. 

• Scientology claims eight million people around the world practice the religion. Orth says the number could be as low as 40,000. 

• When Cruise was married to Kidman, he "drifted away" from the church, Marty Rathbun, a former member, told Orth. The organization still had a staff that tracked the couple, "reporting every single detail going on in the house during the entire marriage with Nicole--how they were getting along, their disputes, what he was doing movie-wise, and his relations in Hollywood."

• David Miscavige, who is widely known as Tom Cruise's best friend, reportedly loves dishing about celebrities. His former aide told Orth "Miscavige's comments were usually about Cruise's sex life. He would roll his eyes and say, 'Jeez, can you believe it?'" The church denied Miscavige has ever revealed private information. 

• Orth reports that when the church was "auditioning" actresses to be Tom Cruise's new girlfriend back in 2004, they eliminated anyone who had participated in a threesome.

• When Iranian actress Nazanin Boniadi made the cut, Orth says that Scientologists persuaded her to end her relationship with her boyfriend. They then took her shopping at Saks and Burberry to cheer her up.

• Cruise and Holmes were reportedly happy in the beginning of their relationship. A former Scientology aide told Orth "They would be sitting by themselves late at night, talking and laughing and kissing, a picture-perfect couple who seemed genuinely happy."

• Holmes' father, Martin, reportedly wrote a prenuptial agreement that filled five bankers' boxes. Marc Headley, a former Scientologist, said he heard that Martin never approved of the Church and helped protect Katie's rights. 

The Vanity Fair issue with the full story is scheduled to hit newsstands nationwide on Monday.

While Taylor Swift's parents have reportedly recently separated, it seems like the country singer is finding solace in the Kennedy family.

Swift has been spotted this summer with 18-year-old boyfriend, Conor Kennedy, and his famous family, everywhere from Hyannis Port to his mother's grave.

And apparently the Kennedy clan approve.

When TMZ caught Sen. Patrick Kennedy in Charlotte, North Carolina on Wednesday, he told the cameras "We love Taylor Swift...she's been a great friend and we're happy for Conor."

The former U.S. Representative added, "If she wants to be family, she's already a part of it."

And while Conor's grandmother Ethel Kennedy also adores Swift, saying "we should be so lucky" to have her in the family, the country crooner still has a few Kennedy relatives to win over after crashing a family wedding a few weeks ago.

Jane Romney, the 74-year-old, estranged sister of Mitt Romney, has successfully stayed out of the limelight during her brother's presidential campaign. But that's not necessarily what the struggling actress has wanted.

Jane, who is based in Beverly Hills, has dreamt of being a Hollywood actress for years, but has only starred in minor productions. One such 2009 project led her to play an older, blonde Cleopatra in "Love and War," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The only detail that has thrust Jane into the political sphere is her adoption of Seamus, the Romney family dog, who was famously strapped to Mitt's car roof in the 80s.

For years, Jane played the real life role of housewife, but without the "Desperate Housewives" fame. Her marriage to a Mormon doctor joined two of the leading families of the church and resulted in four children, but after 20 years of marriage, the couple called it quits.

Following her divorce, Jane and her youngest son moved from Sacramento to Los Angeles so that they could pursue acting. Both had limited success, with Jane's sole IMDb credit being from an episode of "Days of our Lives" in 1993. The website leaves out a love story she helped write, and also acted in, to benefit a California theatre. 

Despite nearly a lifetime of unsuccessfully seeking fame in Hollywood, Jane--a public supporter of California Democrats Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown--has kept mainly to herself during Mitt's current campaign.

It is still unclear whether the decision was by choice or her brother's urging.

For more on Jane Romney's private life in Beverly Hills, read the full Hollywood Reporter article here.

Actor William Shatner is finding himself in legal trouble.

A former employee is suing the "Boston Legal" and "Star Trek" actor for wrongful termination and harassment. 

Oscar Alfaro, a handyman for Shatner and his wife Elizabeth, claims he was wrongfully terminated after refusing to sign a release for an on-the-job injury.

Both Alfaro and his wife, Delmy, worked for the Shatners for the past two decades.

According to the couple's lawyer, Alfaro slipped on a wet driveway, and received partial payment from the actor for his medical bills. 

Alfaro says he was fired soon afterward for refusing to sign a release for all claims. 

Since the injury, the couple claim they have experienced nothing but discrimination and harassment from Shatner and his wife.

The couple are seeking unspecified general, special and exemplary damages from the Shatners and 50 unnamed defendants.

Emma Brockes at the Guardian interviewed Kim Kardashian for a lengthy feature story, and Buzzfeed's Whitney Jefferson dug out a gem of a quote.

It's memorable for all the wrong reasons — she likens her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries to cancer.

Here it is:

"Not really. We had done filming our season at that point, so we decided to film for the wedding. And that was a decision that he and I made together. 

But I think that, with any decisions in life, like, I spoke to a girl today who had cancer and we were talking about how this is such a hard thing for her, but it taught her a big lesson on who her friends are and so much about life. She's 18. And I was like, that's how I feel."

Our favorite "Golden Girl" turns 90-years-old today!

Is there anything Betty White hasn’t done?

She’s received a lap dance on “Ellen,” was tackled in a Snickers Super Bowl ad, shared a shower with Hugh Jackman, became a Facebook phenomenon, purchased condoms on “The Golden Girls,” and kissed "Chuck" star Zachary Levi just last night.

In the past few years, she’s had cameos on everything from “Community” to “30 Rock” and “The Middle,” has brought in record ratings as the oldest host ever on "Saturday Night Live" and returned to TV on the popular “Hot in Cleveland.”

And, she’s not done yet. This spring, White has a new show, “Off Their Rockers” — think Ashton Kutcher's “Punked” for old people — debuting this spring on NBC.

The bubbly may be done at her big birthday bash, but we’re still celebrating all day. Here’s our tribute to the one who’s done it all.

1956: White co-hosted the Rose Parade on NBC for nineteen years. When she was replaced in 1975, the "Mary Tyler Moore" actress began hosting the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" for the next ten years.

1949: White appeared alongside Al Jarvis on the daily, “Hollywood on Television." She took over hosting the show three years later in 1952.

1950: White was nominated for her first Emmy award as "Best Actress" on TV. The award was among the first in the category of women's television. White won her first Emmy in 1975 for her performance on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show."
