Actress and husband adopt Korean baby girl

LOS ANGELES -- Katherine Heigl and husband Josh Kelley have completed their adoption of a baby girl from Korea.

Heigl spokeswoman Melissa Kates says the couple named the 10-month-old Nancy Leigh, after the actress's mother Nancy and her sister Margaret Leigh. The girl will go by the nickname Naleigh.

Kates says both parents and Naleigh are together and doing well. The couple is putting photos of their daughter up on www.jasonheiglfoundation.org, the Web site of Heigl's animal-rescue foundation.

Heigl plays Dr. Izzie Stevens on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" and is currently shooting the film "Life as We Know It."

She and Kelley, a singer-songwriter, have been married since 2007.

Tyler's injury recovery upsets guitarist Perry

NEW YORK -- Joe Perry is frustrated that Aerosmith has been sidelined due to Steven Tyler's tour injury.

The group had to cancel their summer tour after the frontman suffered injuries when he fell off the stage during a concert in August.

"The tour was building up to be a great tour, and I was pretty [upset], you know," Perry said in an interview on Wednesday.

The guitarist hasn't even spoken to Tyler recently: "I haven't talked to him in over five weeks. ... I hear he's getting better, but ... I really don't know what's going on with him."

The 61-year-old Tyler fell off the stage during an Aug. 5 performance in South Dakota.

He broke his left shoulder and needed 20 stitches in his head. Tyler was ordered by doctors to take the time to properly recuperate from his injuries.

Even though Aerosmith is idle, Perry has been promoting his upcoming album, "Have Guitar, Will Travel."

N.C. town to remember Swayze in service Saturday

From wire reports

RALEIGH -- Residents of the small North Carolina town where dance instructor Johnny Castle practiced lifts with Baby Houseman in the iconic movie "Dirty Dancing" will remember star Patrick Swayze with a memorial service this weekend.

Age and fire have claimed many landmarks from the movie, but its imprint on Lake Lure, where much of it was filmed, remains.

Swayze died Monday evening in Los Angeles after a fight with pancreatic cancer. He was 57. Among his best-known roles was Castle, the dance instructor at a Catskills resort who charms Baby, an idealistic young woman vacationing there with her family.

The town memorial service will be Saturday at Firefly Cove, a housing development that was a summer camp when "Dirty Dancing" was filmed in 1987. Castle's cabin was there, and it was the setting for many of the film's outdoor scenes.

"We do more 'Dirty Dancing' tours than property tours," said Terry Tincher, the broker for Firefly Cove.
