First Published: December 31, 2011 7:59 PM EST Credit: Getty Premium LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Caption Gwyneth Paltrow arrives at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on September 18, 2011New Years Eve celebrations are about to kick off and Gwyneth Paltrow is offering up some solutions for a common New Years Day affliction the hangover! Gwynnie gathered advice from Dr. Frank Lipman and Dr. Oz Garcia, as well as her local London pharmacist, and benevolently passed the info along to her subscribers in her GOOP newsletter this week. We all know what happens on NYE so here is our best to help you prepare for the day after, she wrote, along with a scientific explanation for what causes the dreaded post-party blues. Among the Contagion stars tips (along with the commonly known preventative measures such as taking aspirin, drinking water and eating something before going to sleep), try indulging in a bit of hydrotherapy. If you have the time and the inclination, Ive found that the best hangover remedy can be a hot and cold spa treatment, Gwyneth suggests. Ive been known to recreate this experience at home too. Just draw a bath that is as hot as you can handle it and mix in some Epsom Salts and Baking Soda, she continued. Soak for twenty minutes and then pop into a freezing cold shower for 1 minute. Get back in the hot bath and stay until youre warmed up. Then get back in the shower for 1 more minute. If that remedy sounds a little too complex for your liking, the 39-year-old beauty suggests drinking Mercy elixir. Gwyneth who likes their product so much she became an investor in the company claims the drink is packed with amino acids, vitamins, minerals and herbs that protect your system against the inevitable hangover and that flush you can get from drinking. You can drink it alone or mix it with alcohol to create a hangover preventing cocktail, she added. Additionally, Gwyneth suggests taking Milk Thistle capsules to help your liver cope with cocktail overload, or the classic early morning Bloody Mary. Perhaps the least healthy choice, but sometimes unavoidable - at times, just a little of last nights poison does the trick, she added. The actress is no stranger to hangovers back in September, the Oscar winner revealed she had overindulged at her 39th birthday party and was paying the price. Nursing a horrific hangover at the jfk, she Tweeted at the time. Nothing like starting an overseas flight dehydrated. Where is the dog, I need the hair. Copyright 2012 by NBC Universal, Inc.

Tom Sizemore Writing Memoir About His Battle With Drugs

Tom Sizemore was on a roll in the '90s in films like 'Heat,' 'True Romance,' and 'Saving Private Ryan,' but a cocaine and heroin addiction derailed his promising career. Now, the actor will tell the story of his rocky road with drugs in a new memoir, due out in 2013. "I should have been dead many times over," Sizemore said. "The fact that I'm now sober over two years -- and that I'm acting as much as I did before -- proves that people can overcome obstacles even when they're sure they can't. I hope that this book can inspire other people to never give up." In the book, which he'll write with journalist Anna David, Sizemore will share his tough childhood growing up in a Detroit housing project, romances with stars Elizabeth Hurley and Sharon Stone and his lowest point: A stint in prison for domestic abuse against then-girlfriend Heidi Fleiss. Sizemore developed a pattern of cleaning up for major movie roles, then relapsing. He was soon known more for his headline-making misbehavior than for his films. A starring role on the TV series 'Robbery Homicide' didn't last, and he was soon starring in another series: 'Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew.' Sizemore has managed to stay sober since graduating from the reality show. He's made guest appearances on 'Hawaii: Five-O' and has a number of films in post-production. A 2009 appearance on 'Southland' as an out-of-control movie star was a nod to his colorful past. [via Deadline] [Photo: Getty] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook

Disney Reveals New Princess With Sofia The Initial TV Movie, Series

Disney mentioned today it's showing a completely new princess fairytale line beginning next season while using launch of Sofia The Initial, which will premiere becoming an animated TV movie in fall 2012 and continue just like a series set to bow in spring 2013 on Disney Funnel and Disney Junior channels worldwide. It'll be the first time among Disney’s storybook princesses franchises the main character might be a girl, who's taken away and off to a glamorous but frequently confusing castle arena of royalty, pomp and new step-siblings and siblings after her mother marries the king.

Ariel Winter (ABC’s Modern Family) provides you with the voice of Sofia the voice cast includes Sara Ramirez (Grey’s Anatomy) as Full Miranda Wayne Brady (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) as Clover, a wise-speaking rabbit and Tim Gunn (Project Runway) as Baileywick, your family’s Royal Steward.

AFM stays in Santa Monica

The American Film Market will remain in Santa Monica through 2017, spurning attempts to move the beachside film market to downtown Los Angeles. The Independent Film & Television Alliance said Thursday that new agreements will keep the AFM at the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel, its home since 1991, with the confab continuing to employ additional exhibition space at JW Marriott's Le Merigot Beach Hotel and with conferences continuing at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows."We tirelessly explored every option to ensure the AFM would have the best long-term home," said IFTA chairman Paul Hertzberg in a statement. "We look forward to many more successful markets with the beach as our backdrop." IFTA had confirmed in September that it was negotiating to relocate the 2013 AFM to L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles. The association pointed out in September that relocating to downtown Los Angeles would mean lower hotel and exhibition costs for both buyers and sellers and better screening venues at the Regal Cinemas and Nokia Theater -- and that by 2014, there will be more hotel rooms surrounding L.A. Live than in the Loews Santa Monica area.But the prospect of a move from Santa Monica provoked resistance at last month's AFM, including an online petition signed by reps of IFDC, Artists View, Constantin, UFO, W2 and Imagem and asserting that a downtown location would restrict participants' ability to meet easily. "This will divide participants who will have to run all day long in order to attend to their meetings," the petition said. "This will simply be exhausting, not to mention creating a more stressful environment generally. And, as a consequence, participants may choose to shorten their stay, which will deeply affect the business of the market. A less competitive market will lead to less attendance and, ultimately, to the extinction of the market."The petition also noted that the Independent Spirit Awards tried in 2010 to move from Santa Monica to downtown L.A. but then moved back to the beach last year."We do not want to be parked in soulless spaces in the middle of a crowded downtown L.A.," it said. "We want to meet and do our business serenely if possible. Comfort and prestige are the keys to a successful market."IFTA president-CEO Jean Prewitt said Thursday in statement, "Our stated goal from the start of this process has been to provide the best environment, resources and value for the world's buyers and sellers and, after long and careful deliberations, we believe remaining in Santa Monica will achieve all of those goals." IFTA noted in the announcement that Santa Monica will be "transformed" by a variety of public improvements and development projects that will significantly enhance AFM including the following: AMC Entertainment's cinema complex with 12 screens, including an Imax theater, will open in late 2014 or early 2015. The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium will be rehabilitated and expanded, providing a venue for red-carpet premieres and expected to be completed in late 2014. At least 700 hotel rooms will be added to the downtown area, including mid-priced hotels from Marriott and Hampton Inn. A light Metro Rail terminal at Fourth Street and Colorado Avenue, a five-minute walk from the Loews, is expected to be operational in 2015. A seven-acre park on Ocean Avenue directly across from the Loews is scheduled for completion in late 2013 along with an adjoining new mixed-use urban village with restaurants and shops for 2014.Dates for the upcoming AFMs are Oct. 31-Nov. 7, 2012; Nov. 6-13, 2013; Nov. 5-12, 2014; Nov. 4-11, 2015; Nov. 2-9, 2016; and Nov. 1-8, 2017. IFTA said that research from the Santa Monica Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates that the AFM will contribute more than $100 million to the local economy over the next six years.This year's market saw the number of buying companies rise 8% to 718 from 664 in 2010; buying executives increased 7% to 1,523 vs. 1,417 a year ago; and overall attendance climbed 4% to 7,988 vs. 7,695 in 2010.

Jim Ladd to Host Nightly Freeform Show on SiriusXM

NY - Charlie Ergen's Dish Network is one of the winners of Friday's $3.6 billion wireless spectrum deal announced by Comcast, Time Warner Cable and a smaller cable operator with Verizon, according to analysts. Dish shares rose 6.6 percent to close at $26.21.our editor recommendsCharlie Ergen Steps Down as President, CEO of Dish NetworkGoogle plans to bid for wireless spectrum Ergen previously bought spectrum, and analysts have long wondered what satellite TV giant Dish would use it for. While some have predicted Ergen could sell the spectrum or parts of it for a profit, others have said that Dish could use the spectrum to offer broadband and online video services. Wells Fargo analyst Marci Ryvicker calculate that the cable companies will get $0.695 per megahertz per pop, a common measure of price for spectrum, in value for their so-called AWS spectrum. "Applying this to Dish's [MSS and 700 MHz] spectrum gets us a $10 billion value, or roughly $22 in equity value, which is clearly not in Dish's stock price," she said. BTIG analyst Walter Piecyk in a report spoke of "Ergen's emergence as wireless' power broker." He wrote: "In the future, spectrum buyers will have to negotiate a deal with the likes of Charlie Ergen and Dish Network, whose strategic value has risen dramatically." He said that Dish paid only $0.25 per MHz per pop to buy DBSD and TerreStar spectrum. One potential buyer of Dish's spectrum is a telecom giant whose planned acquisition of a competitor has been called in question by regulators, Piecyk said. "Dish would be a good alternative for AT&T if the T-Mobile deal is not approved," he said. Meanwhile, Friday's Verizon spectrum deal news is also good for Comcast and TW Cable "as it answers the question 'what is the wireless strategy?' and negates the fear of a wireless build," Ryvicker said. Piecyk listed Dish competitor DirecTV under the deal's losers though, saying it and others will "face increased pressure to address their spectrum needs." Said the analyst: "DirecTV's strategic options are declining and could continue to diminish in 2012." Email: Georg.Szalai@thr.com Twitter: @georgszalai Related Topics DirecTV Dish Network
