Will Miley Cyrus be going up against Will Smith in a dance-off at Sunday's Teen Choice Awards? The pop star, who's also hosting the awards, has been engaged in an ongoing, YouTube-fueled dance battle with her best pal, Mandy Jiroux, against actor-dancer Adam Sevani and his Step Up 2 director, Jon M. Chu. Now, Sevani suggests that Will Smith may get into the act during Sunday's show. "Will Smith is so cool," Cyrus' 15-year-old dance nemesis told E!. "I wanted to use him for our [Teen Choice] performance, but I don't know if he's gonna be here."While Smith's participation isn't certain, the Sunday dance battle is definitely going down. Sevani's team (ACDC) and Cyrus' (M&M Cru) have been bringing celebs from Lindsay Lohan to Adam Sandler in for their YouTube videos — so Sunday's segment will likely have its surprises. For his part, though, the only thing on Sevani's mind is victory. "We're going to just murder them," he promised. "Single-handedly!" — Anna Dimond

A new survey by Forbes Magazine names Charlie Sheen and Katherine Heigl as TV's best-paid actors. The Two and a Half Men cut-up earned $20 million in 2007, while Heigl pulled in $13 mil for her rotation on Grey's Anatomy. (It would seem the quality of her boss' paychecks was up to snuff, yes.)Of course, that's all parking valet tip money compared to what their counterparts in the movie biz are taking home. Will Smith was the big screen's biggest earner for the year, depositing $80 million into his bank account. Among the men, he was followed by Johnny Depp (a bargain at $72 mil) and Eddie Murphy (overpriced at $55 mil). Cameron Diaz was Hollywood's best-paid actress for 2007, earning $50 mil. Keira Knightley placed No. 2 with $32 mil, followed by Jennifer Aniston ($27 mil).In the category of "media personalities," Oprah of course dominated, raking in $275 million for the year. What's your take? Who delivers the best value for the greenbacks? — Matt Mitovich
