Willow Smith

Will and Jada's daughter had us all whipping our hair back and forth in 2010, and it looks like she's only getting started. She'll open for Justin Bieber on the UK leg of his tour in March, and release an album in 2011 through Jay-Z's Roc Nation label.

Rooney Mara

Best known for her small role in The Social Network, this relative unknown beat out a slew of A-list actresses clamouring for the role of Lisbeth Salander in the Hollywood adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Alex Pettyfer

He may be best known as Glee's Dianna Agron's boyfriend, but he'll soon break out on his own when he stars alongside Agron in I Am Number Four, based on the popular young adult novel. He'll also team up with Vanessa Hudgens in the movie Beastly.

Jay Chou

A massively popular Taiwanese musician, Chou is poised to break out in North America in 2011 with his role as Seth Rogen's super suave sidekick in The Green Hornet.

Zach Gilford

We've been waiting for Gilford to break out every since we first saw him on Friday Night Lights, and now it looks like he's finally getting a shot at household name status. He stars in Shonda Rimes' new medical drama Off the Map alongside Canadian actresses Rachelle Lefevre and Caroline Dhavernas.

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone - Police say a man on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas punched a teenager who refused to turn off his iPhone as the plane approached the Boise airport. Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing. Witnesses told police that when the teen didn't respond, Miller got angry and punched the boy in the arm. Miller says he "tapped" the teen on the shoulder after he refused to turn off the phone. He told the Idaho Statesman that he may have "overreacted," but that he did not punch the teen. Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone
