Beck/Smith Hollywood’s 2011 predictions in entertainment

By Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith HollywoodNews.com: The New Year is here at last! We’ve dusted off our trusty celebrity crystal ball and we’re ready to make our fearless predictions about Hollywood and its stars in 2011. New “American Idol” judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez will show the public how enormously watchable they can be when talking as themselves, and will give the show an injection of fresh life.

Lindsay Lohan, meanwhile, will star on “Celebrity Rehab.” Obviously, Dr. Drew Pinsky has been dying to treat the wayward actress, because with her every arrest, probation violation and embarrassing paparazzi shot, he’s front and center with comments to the press about her. Maria Shriver will go into politics herself at last. Maybe foreign-born Arnold can’t run for President, but his wife is a Kennedy. Many celebrities are serious amateur chefs — Daniel Craig, Matthew Modine, Dominic Monaghan, Lou Diamond Phillips, Kellie Martin, Michael Pare, Josh Brolin, Tobey Maguire, James Spader and Chris Walken, to name a few — so it’s only a matter of time before “Iron Chef: Celebrity Edition” comes to pass.
