Ben Stiller is giving you his best Blue Steel.

Here's the 28-year-old back in 1994 (left) -- and 15 years later, the 43-year-old version at an event in Hollywood (right).
How does the Focker do it?

Ben Stiller is in dangerous territory -- and TMZ's very own in-house redneck says he's six day's growth away from a full-fledged mullet.

(Hey y'all, quick reminder -- when calculating mulletude, don't forget to factor in the ratio of back length to front length. Common mistake.)

George Michael is performing on tonight's "Idol" finale, but he ain't "the biggest star in the world" that Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe has been touting -- our spies tell us, it's "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr.

TMZ moles say the finale will include a virtual hologram of Gladys Knight singing "Midnight Train to Georgia" with Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Downey Jr. singing backup as the Pips. Holy Nat King Cole! "Idol" did this last season when Celine Dion sang along side a virtual undead Elvis. For the record, Gladys Knight is still alive.
We're told the Jonas Brothers, ZZ Top, Seal, Bryan Adams, One Republic, Jordin Sparks and Carrie Underwood will also perform before David Archuleta (or possibly maybe, but not likely, Cook) is crowned the winner.

It's no Magnum, but dear God -- Ben Stiller is still beautiful.
How many stars actually do their signature move when you ask them to? Props to Ben.

So you've got Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Paul Rudd -- three of the, arguably, funniest guys out there right now -- why the hell ask them about Ashlee Simpson & Pete Wentz's engagement?!
Also in L.A.: Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and McLovin' all blew off fans outside the Kodak Theater, Rumer Willis had her very own pap crush, Kevin Richardson was mistaken for another Backstreet Boy and Kim Kardashian got a public berating by her own sister.
In NY: Michelle Trachtenberg dodged questions about rumored BF Chace Crawford, Kiefer Sutherland went out with his new chick, and Ben Stiller struggled to remember the name of Derek Zoolander's infamous pose.

"Grindhouse" gal Rosario Dawson was outside of Chateau Marmont on Saturday night, unafraid to flash a wacky face for photogs. Say cheese, pussycat!
Also in L.A.: Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor and Robert Downey, Jr. posed for a group pic, while Mr. Chow fed George "The Tan" Hamilton, gunslinger Clint Eastwood and comedian Jerry Seinfeld. "Species" alien Natasha Henstridge almost ate it on a hill, and Christina Milian was hipster-hot on Sunset.
All this and more in todays "shape-shifting" edition of Star Catcher!

Apparently, Kevin Federline's recent self-effacing Superbowl stunt has inspired Tom Cruise.
Insiders tell TMZ that Tom Cruise has been talking with Ben Stiller about starring in an updated version of "The Hardy Boys" at Twentieth Century Fox. Tentatively titled "The Hardy Men" -- a comedy that would be directed by Stiller's director on "A Night At the Museum," Shawn Levy ("The Pink Panther," "Cheaper By the Dozen").
"The Hardy Boys" detective novels date back to 1927, though a variety of ghost writers using the pen name of Franklin W. Dixon kept Frank and Joe Hardy perpetual teenagers. "The Hardy Men" would have them finally grown up, but up to their old tricks once more.
While nothing is set in stone, (like, say, that T. Rex skeleton from "Museum") the discussions do reveal a larger, more interesting development stemming from Cruise's L'affaire de sofa d' Oprah: What to do next when your public image has taken a public beating?

We've all heard how Tom Cruise proposed to Katie Holmes, but other celebrity marriage proposals that were -- dare we say -- more unusual, went under the radar. Here are five fun celebrity marriage proposals.
What happened next: Denzel and Pauletta married on June 25, 1983. They have four children: John, 21; Katia, 18; and twins Malcolm and Olivia, 14. The couple renewed their marriage vows in 1995, with the Archbishop Desmond Tutu presiding over the ceremony.

Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor
The proposal: On Nov. 5, 1999,
Ben Stiller had all the right intentions. While
Christine Taylor was away at a movie, Stiller entered her home and decorated it with candles and rose petals. When Taylor returned, Stiller was down on one knee and promptly proposed. Ah, but there was a snag. Stiller left the engagement ring in his knapsack in Taylor's bedroom. But his good intentions were rewarded with a "yes!"
What happened next: Stiller and Taylor were married May 13, 2000. They have two children: daughter Ella, 3, and son Quinlin, 7 months.

Brendan Fraser and Afton Smith
The proposal: Brendan Fraser was a little too clever for his own good when he proposed to actress
Afton Smith. In 1997, while the couple stood on a bridge overlooking the Seine River in Paris, Fraser took a Polaroid of himself and Smith. Just before the picture was taken, Fraser opened his jacket, revealing a note pinned inside that said, "Will you marry me, Afton?"
After the picture developed, the words were just too small to read. So Fraser opened his jacket again, Smith saw the note and immediately said "yes."
What happened next: Fraser and Smith were married on Sept. 27, 1998. They have two sons: Griffin, 3, and Holden, 18 months.

Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown
The proposal: For volatile couple
Whitney Houston and
Bobby Brown, one engagement ring wasn't enough. Brown proposed to Houston after they returned home from dinner. He initially took out a small ring, and Houston said "yes." Then he took out an even bigger ring, and as Houston said later in a Ladies Home Journal interview, "I was so surprised that I cried harder."
Aftermath: What to say? They married on July 18, 1992. They have one child together, Bobbi Kristina, 12. They've endured through rehab, arrests, more rehab, more arrests. The drama continues.

Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler
The proposal: Travis Barker's heavily tattooed, punked-out look makes him kinda scary, so how appropriate that he popped the question to former Miss USA/Playboy Playmate
Shanna Moakler at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. The former Blink-182 drummer said in an interview that he paid off the elevator operator so that he and Moakler could be alone for the magic moment. He got down on one knee and proposed, and Moakler said "yes." But Moakler then surprised Barker with her own down-on-one-knee proposal and engagement ring for him.
See them talk about the proposal (video).
