| Ashley Tisdale's New Nose No Longer On Show
Pop singer Ashley Tisdale has issued a public apology for canceling two concerts over the weekend because she's yet to "fully recover" from a recent rhinoplasty. The High School Musical star debuted her new nose at a gig in New York on Friday night, just two weeks after going under the knife to fix her severely deviated septum. But she then pulled out of two subsequent shows - one in Miami, Florida, and one in Philadelphia - fueling fears for her health following the procedure. Now the 22-year-old has confirmed the reason for her no-shows - but reassured fans she's on the road to recovery. She writes on her website: "I'm so sorry I wasn't able to be at the holiday shows this weekend. I haven't fully recovered from my surgery and had to make the difficult decision to cancel the appearances.

Icahn Angles for Biogen Board Seats
The activist investor, who seemingly intends to muscle the re-hanging of the company's for-sale sign, criticizes Biogen's strategy and failed search for a suitor last fall. In a press release Monday, Icahn said, "We are taking this action because we believe that Biogen's recent purported attempt to find a suitor was not conducted in a way to enhance the success of the endeavor. We believe that the process was flawed in a number of key respects and that the process was run to placate us and other large shareholders who we believe asked for Biogen to find a buyer." Icahn alleges in the statement that Biogen "refused to allow potential bidders to talk to" Elan (ELN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), the company's partner on Tysabri. Earlier this month, the Financial Times said that potential buyers were asked to sign a confidentiality and disclosure agreement that "allowed them to view the company's private data, but simultaneously forbade the parties from any direct negotiation with Elan or Genentech" (DNA - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr).

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are reportedly seeking medical advice following a series of failed attempts to conceive a second child. The couple is desperate for a son following the birth of daughter Suri in April 2006, but Holmes is alleged to be having difficulty becoming pregnant. And the Batman Begins star is now preparing to visit a specialist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles later this month to establish the problem. A source tells Britain's Now magazine, "She's really upset about it. The one thing she wants more than anything is a son for Tom. "She says they've been trying since the summer, but it just hasn't happened for them yet. "Katie and Tom sat down and had a heart-to-heart and decided it might be worth her going to see the doctor to get checked out." - Tom Cruise Pictures - Katie Holmes Photos (This news article provided by World Entertainment News Network) .
