Then again, she pretty much brought them all onto herself. (We still feel sorta bad for her though.)
Teen Mom star Amber Portwood has reportedly lost custody of her 2-year-old daughter, Leah. Or at least, she is about to.
Sources close to Amber's baby daddy Gary reveal that almost a week ago, Amber dropped the baby off at Gary's house and then vanished. She hasn't visited, called, texted, emailed or anything in six days. She seems to have cut off all contact with Gary and by association, her own daughter!
That is not going to bide well with the judge when your domestic violence case comes up! He might revoke your custody rights right off the bat!
Besides, what kind of mother just abandons her child like that? What kind of mother could stand leaving something so precious and not even care to check up on it!
Director Christopher Nolan has announced the title of the third installment of his Batman movies, and it will officially be called The Dark Knight Rises!
Inneresting!
He also revealed that, despite much speculation, The Riddler will not be the film's villain!
He explains:
"We'll use many of the same characters as we have all along, and we'll be introducing some new ones."
Eh - we're not too thrilled with the title, but then again, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight aren't exactly innovative, either!
Lame about The Riddler, though! We really wanted to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt rawk that part! But hopefully this means Catwoman will be showing up for a much-needed dose of ferocity!
What do U think?? Like the title?? Who do U want to see as the film's villain??
For anyone who's listened to Taylor Swift's latest album, it's pretty clear that gurl's had a lot of heartache, so we're happy to hear from sources that the cutie pie isn't taking her weekend excursions with Jake Gyllenhaal too seriously!
The insider explains:
"Taylor is very serious about her career. For her, it's all about the career right now. She's not really interested in getting heavily involved with anyone. They're cute together. But I don't think there's anything to it. Everyone's talking about it. They hung out. But that's it. I don't think they're a couple. If she does have a serious relationship, it's probably going to be with someone who's not in the industry or someone who's not a household name. With Jake, she probably figures, why not be seen together and keep everyone guessing."
Smart move, bb!
Take some time for yourself, be single, and most importantly, have fun!
You're only young once!
Go out and celebrate that uber-successful, critically acclaimed album you just released, no need to be bogged down with stressful relationships!
Here's what Lambert had to say about his upcoming album:
"There is going to be an acoustic CD. I don't have an exact release date. Probably around Thanksgiving time — November, December. We went around Europe in the earlier part of this year, and here [in Australia], and we did a lot of promo."
More from Lambert:
"And so I had Monty, my guitar player, and my drummer at the time - and we just did very stripped-back versions of the songs… and then we also recorded some of the actual stuff from the Glam Nation tour. So it's going to be a mix of both."
We're def curious to hear what our Glambert will sound like when he goes acoustic.
A federal judge has ordered Mississippi's Itawamba County School District to pay the $81,000 in legal fees and expenses that Constance McMillen incurred after having to bring them to court for banning her from her high school's prom - all because she wanted to bring her girlfriend as a date!
As they should! We're so thrilled that justice has been served!
Discrimination and bigotry have no place in this country, and ESPECIALLY not in schools!
On Monday night's Dancing With The Stars, Maksim Chmerkovskiy had a situation with his pants.
No, not because he was wearing the tightest pair of leather slacks we've ever seen. Apparently, he was introduced to Melanie Griffith in the audience and the encounter almost made him "crap himself."
"Jamie Lee Curtis a big fan of the show and she's been coming every week. Yesterday, she calls me over and says, 'Hey, I have somebody for you to meet.' I'm not going to lie, I almost crapped myself and had a heart attack at the same time. To introduce me to Melanie Griffith, I know exactly who she is."
Okaaaaay.
But if you knew exactly who she is, then why did you get so excited???
We kid, we kid. We know she's a big deal…somewhat.
OMG! Imagine if she had brought Antonio with her? They would have had to change his pants twice!
Throughout the years, Nintendo has been the platform for some of the most memorable video game characters in history, including Super Mario, Link, and Donkey Kong.
Now, with Zoo Games' DS game Silly Bandz, we'll have some new characters to add to that list, including rabbit, dinosaur, and turtle!
We're REALLY not sure how badly the world needed a video game adaptation of Silly Bandz rubber bands, but regardless…now we've got one.
In the game, players are sent on tasks to free "Bandz" from capture by launching other Silly Bandz at the structures in which they're trapped. Yeah, it's pretty nonsensical confusing.
The games will ship with a set of twelve actual, not-virtual Silly Bandz, based on characters from the video game if you can really call them characters.
The game will also be released on iPhone, for all of you iPhone users out there who are also avid Silly Bandz enthusiasts.
Will U pick up the Silly Bandz game for DS? If not, what would U prefer to spend $29.99 on instead?
This is absolutely sickening. And truly upsetting.
Check out (above) a clip from KETK-NBC, a news station in East Texas, which features news anchors inviting viewers to call in and give their opinion on the 'hot topic question' - "Do you think the acceptance of homosexuality will be the fall of America?"
It's truly disheartening to hear so many people with such intense hate in them, all over something that they outright refuse to try and understand.
And for that, our sentiments tend to echo the comments of one of the more rational viewers to call in, who said "I think the true downfall of this country will because of the religious right, and their extremist views."
Some photogs caught up with Brooke Mueller in El Lay shortly after the news broke about Charlie Sheen's shenanigans in New York City. The cameraman starts questioning Charlie's estranged wife how she feels about what went down, but she avoids the question.
Then when he asks if she would trust him with their kids, she quickly responded that she does and isn't scared to let them be around him.
As for if she would be okay around him, she didn't want to say! That was the point where she waved off the paparazzi to get into her car and speed off!
A quick getaway from the awful truth! How convenient!
Does the new Superman sparkle in the sun? Does he have an unquenchable thirst for blood? Does he like to play intense games of baseball with his family while Muse blares in the background?
Okay, so maybe he's not a vampire, but the newly redrawn version of Superman def resembles a Robert Pattinson-like individual.
Emo Superman will be featured in Superman: Earth One, a new graphic novel written by J. Michael Straczynski, with emo artwork by Shane Davis.
The graphic novel will re-tell the Superman origin story, but with a Twilight/hipster-esque vibe to it.
Here's what DC Comics co-publisher Dan DiDio had to say about the graphic novel:
"We wanted to tell a story that's hip, sexy, and moody."
What Superhero will get the hipster/emo/Twilight treatment next? Are we gonna see a young Taylor-Lautner-like Batman walking around the pages of an upcoming graphic novel, completely shirtless?
Angela Lansbury will co-star with Jim Carrey in 20th Century Fox's Mr. Popper's Penguins. The film, which is based on a children's book, follows the high-powered NYC business man, Mr. Popper as he inherits six penguins.
Mrs. Van Gundy, the owner of a local tavern that Mr. Popper is trying to buy, will be played by Lansbury.
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia posted a 47% third-quarter broadcast revenue decline on Wednesday now that her syndication at the Hallmark Channel has been cut in half. The company made a measly $5.8 million in broadcast, which is nothing considering they are used to twice the amount.
But ratings have improved since her programming block at Hallmark has been reduced and Martha, along with the network, are hoping to benefit in the long term.
Executive chairman of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Charles Koppelman, said:
"We're certainly hopeful that the audiences are finding the Martha show and the other shows. At current ratings, we're still a little bit challenged," but if things move into the right direction, the show "will be profitable."
It happens to us all, but it's all about taking the high road.
And now, listening to the wise-beyond-his-years Greyson Chance!
Greyson was on The Ellen DeGeneres show this week to debut his first single and talk with Ellen about what he's been up to. He confirmed to Ellen that there is a song he is working on that's about bullying and terrible loss of teen lives in the past few weeks.
Such a sweetheart!
Check out the video (above) to hear Greyson talk more about his music.
Maybe he doesn't play a bloodthirsty killer on True Blood, but he sure will now.
Ryan Kwanten has been cast to play the notorious murder Charles Manson in a new movie called The Family, which is currently in development. The movie is said to be focusing primarily on the murders Manson and his followers committed, rather than a full retrospect of his life.
He's come along way from Bon Temps!
It's a big role, one we think he can handle. It's just a shame it's not the kind of movie he can take his shirt off during.
Looks like someone took her daughter's getting voted off Dancing With The Stars pretty hard!
Check out this absolutely AMAZING clip of Audrina Patridge's mother telling it like it is - to anyone who will listen, might we add - on the streets of El Lay after the reality star's shocking elimination last night!
We're OBSESSED with this woman! She doesn't hold back for a second!
It looks as though Lisa Rinna and Star Jones may not be getting along so well on the set of The Celebrity Apprentice, because check out (above) the picture the actress uploaded to Twitter with the following caption:
Me and Star Jones sans make up.
Ouchie!
We wonder what's been going down between these two!
We're not sure how they'll do it, but it would be inneresting.
It seems Martin Scorsese and Goodfellas scribe Nicholas Pileggi are in talks to bring a prequel of the legendary mobster film to the small screen
Pileggi said:
"I want to do it, Marty wants to do it, Warner Bros. wants to do it. Of course, you can't pick up from 'Goodfellas,' since we murdered everybody, or rather, everybody was murdered! There's nobody left. But I think we're going to figure out a way to do the early years — sort of a prequel."
It sounds like season three of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is going to be putting the infamous 'table-flipping' scene to shame, because according to sources, the camera crews of the Bravo reality show have already captured an EPIC brawl between Teresa Giudice and new castmember Melissa Gorga's families - at a BAPTISM.
According to sources, Joey Gorga - who is Teresa's brother - hosted a baptism reception for their new son, and an altercation began between he and Juicy Joe, which caused the latter's PARENTS to get involved!
Sources explain:
"There were no punches thrown other than by Joe Giudice's parents. There were rumors that Joe Giudice hit Joey Gorga and it's not true. He did try to swing at him but there were too many people holding them back so they couldn't get to each other. Joe did not hit Joey Gorga."
"It was disgusting. We were all having a good time, it was beautiful, and all hell broke loose. It got very uncomfortable and dangerous and we all left. It was a blatant disregard for children. It was just crazy, from the language to the gestures, the breaking of glass, cameras being smashed."
"All eyes were not on Teresa and it was obvious she couldn't handle it. It wasn't about her. She acted as plastic and fake as she normally was and she had her edge her way in there. She was warned to take her seat and she kept insisting and antagonizing."
It got so bad that the almost all of the guests left before the cake could even be served!
Holy shiz!
What a mess! You would think that they could have calmed down for the sake of the kids present!
So unfortunate - we sincerely hope that these women can just let whatever issues they have with each other go, or this season is going to be an absolute trainwreck!
Which, on the other hand, will probably make for absolutely insane television!
What do U think?? Will U be tuning into season three of Real Housewives of New Jersey??
Clint McCance, a board member of the Midland school district of Arkansas, has caused an uproar for posting a bigoted and hate-fueled anti-gay rant on his Facebook profile encouraging more "queers" and "fags" to commit suicide!
While people all over the country were wearing purple last week in support of LGBT, McCance chose to write the following message:
"Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers killed themselves. The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide. I cant believe the people of this world have gotten this stupid. We are honoring the fact that they sinned and killed thereselves because of their sin. REALLY PEOPLE."
Worse yet, he received positive feedback from various people!
However, when one commented "Because hatred is always right," McCance responded:
"No because being a fag doesn't give you the right to ruin the rest of our lives. If you get easily offended by being called a fag then dont tell anyone you are a fag. Keep that shit to yourself. I dont care how people decide to live their lives. They dont bother me if they keep it to thereselves. It pisses me off though that we make a special purple fag day for them. I like that fags cant procreate. I also enjoy the fact that they often give each other aids and die. If you arent against it, you might as well be for it."
He also responded to another comment:
"I would disown my kids they were gay. They will not be welcome at my home or in my vicinity. I will absolutely run them off. Of course my kids will know better. My kids will have solid christian beliefs. See it infects everyone."
Completely sickening.
We'll refrain from responding to any of the nonsense written in his comments, because it's nothing but hateful garbage with no rhyme, reason, or logical thought behind it. We see no "solid christian beliefs" anywhere near that kind of thought-process.
And this is someone who participates in actively oversees what kind of education the youth of his area have!
HRC President Joe Solmonese issued the following statement on the matter:
"Clint McCance has put a face on the hate that devastates our young people. McCance shouldn't be allowed near children, let alone managing their education. We call for his immediate resignation from the school board."
Agreed 100%!
Enough young people have lost their lives because of this kind of toxic and mindless hate!
We hope that administrators in his school district realize the severity of his comments and take proper action to rectify the already damaging situation.
This is one collaboration that we're seriously looking forward to!
Cheryl Cole recently revealed that Rihanna has reached out to the UK pop star, and the two are planning on recording a duet sometime next year!
Oh hellz YES!
She explains:
"I couldn't believe it when I heard Rihanna wanted to work with me. When I found out she wanted to collaborate, I got goosebumps all over. We're definitely doing something together next year. I'm totally up for it. I love that she's into tattoos - she's got one on her collar bone saying 'Never a failure, always a lesson' - that's beautiful."
Amazing!
We could see these two becoming great friends, so let's hope that this actually pans out!
What do U think?? Would U like to see a Chezza/RiRi duet??
Charlie Sheen is just shy of being thrown back into the slammer for what he did Tuesday morning. You'll recall he is still on probation from the stunt he pulled last Christmas. (Refresher- he went ape-shiz with a knife on his wife.)
So, should the Plaza Hotel decide to press charges against Charlie for trashing his room during his, um, incident on Tuesday, then Charlie is in violation of his probation. As Lindsay Lohan has clearly shown us over the last couple of months, that is not something you want to do!
But where there's a will $$$, there's a way to get out of anything. Sources are reporting that Charlie's rep had already contacted The Plaza and has made it clear that Charlie is prepared to pay for any and all damages, provided they don't prosecute him for criminal mischief.
There's no reason the hotel won't accept the deal, all they want is their room fixed! A win, win for everyone!
As is the case when it comes to the criminal actions of Charlie Sheen.
Looks like music pirates aka practically everyone will have to find another P2P site to download their music from!
After a ten year run, Limewire has joined the P2P Cemetery, along with old-school Napster, Kazaa, and many others.
Today, Limewire will follow its court-ordered injunction, and they'll start the process of disabling their file-sharing and music-searching features.
The company behind Limewire, LimeCompany, will move forward in some way, shape, or form, most likely in the form of a music store or a streaming music service.
Congrats to the music industry for another victory! This is definitely a big one.
Former X Factor contestants John and Edward Grimes (aka Jedward), claim they were bullied and mocked by staff at the Heathrow airport.
The 19-year-old twins fly home to Dublin three times a week and claims that they are continually forced to undergo extra screening for the amusement of airport employees.
Their tour manager Liam McKenna filed an official complaint last week after he witnessed a member of staff making Edward to remove his pants and the leg brace he wears to protect his broken ankle.
A source said:
"They always pull the twins in just to pick on them and try to look big in front of their mates. Then last week, the same guy who usually taunts them pulled Edward in and was joined by three mates. There were four big oafs standing laughing at a 19-year-old."
BAA, which operates the airport, apologized to the twins in an email. They admitted the "rude and unprofessional" behavior of staff, adding, "Nothing excuses the behavior."
The studio has acquired the rights to adapt the longtime, bestselling pregnancy companion literature, What To Expect When You're Expecting, into a movie.
But not just kind of movie! It's going to be a Love-Actually-Valentine's-Day-Cannonball-Run-Blink-Once-And-You'll-Miss-Fifteen-Stars kind of movie.
Casting hasn't begun yet, so we've no idea what kind of celebu-cluster will make it into the movie, but we're just curious…
This isn't an easy one to read, but it's definitely worth it!
Actor/comedian Patton Oswalt recently wrote his version of an "It Gets Better" message on his website, but instead addresses the people that we don't think get enough attention - the friends and enablers of bullying!
He writes:
I've been watching a lot of these "It Gets Better" videos online. I'm glad they exist. I'm glad people are making them. I'd bet, if you could do some sort of poll, you'd find out that saying, "It gets better…" to a younger version of yourself is something that a majority of people would opt to do. The bullied and the bullies.
I was both. Bullied, and then a bully.
So this is my version of an, "It Gets Better" video. Only I'm not addressing it to the bullied. And I'm not addressing it to the bullies, either. I'm addressing it to the bully's little friends.
Dear Guy Who Hangs Out With the Bully and Eggs Him On –
Good move. Really. I know what you're doing, and I know how it seems like the smart move for you. 'Cause I did it, too.
When I was in the fifth grade, I started gaining weight, and by the end of that school year, I was a fat kid. I'd been skinny and oblivious up until then – free time meant running around outside, playing soccer, climbing trees. Summer meant swimming.
But then I got swept up in reading, and movies, and music and other sedentary activities. My mind felt like a blazing stock car engine most days, and I didn't miss the running around so much. If I could curl up with a good book, or a drawing pad, or an old monster movie on TV, all the better. Pretzels and chips and Cokes had the carbs and sugar to feed my swelling, itching brain – especially when I was re-listening to Devo songs.
By the time middle school started, I had the Victim Kit firmly sewed on. Cystic acne, headgear and braces, man-tits and a stupid haircut. Sixth and seventh grade were no fucking fun for me. Summer camp was torture, swimming pools were humiliation ponds, sports were a whirling wall of razors I didn't dare approach.
By the time eighth grade rolled around, I'd adjusted my strategy. Figure out who the biggest bullies and abusers were, use my nascent comedy skills to make 'em laugh and hone their taunts, and become part of the asshole entourage.
It was a survival strategy. I had a hand in tormenting an awkward girl named Robin in my eighth grade personal hygiene class. Also a fat(ter), asthmatic kid with a stutter at YMCA camp whose name I can't remember and countless, faceless others as I glided painlessly in the wake of a trio of bullies whose names I also can't remember. I only knew they weren't bullying me, and were actually glad to see me in the morning, 'cause here comes a guy who knows seven crueler ways to call someone an asshole or shithead (beyond just "asshole" and "shithead").
By junior year of high school the braces and headgear came off, I lost weight and my skin miraculously cleared up. I got a girlfriend who taught me how to cut my hair. And I carried around (and still carry) a poison vein of self-loathing.
In someone's memory – in many people's memories – I'm a snickering, sneering asswipe who hurt and insulted them while peering out from behind the muscular lats of a bigger, more frightening asswipe. There are times when I firmly believe I should have also ended up like a lot of the bullies – stupid, directionless, job-bound and destined for obscurity, anger and oblivion.
It doesn't fix a fucking thing, for me, to try my best to take the underdog's side now. Or to embrace the awkward and outcast. That dark slice of regret and disgust with a younger self will never be erased.
So I'm talking to a younger self here – the young Bully's Little Buddy. I'm trying to tell you that yes, I know how scary middle school and high school and the world must seem, with this clear demarcation (and it seems to get bolder and uglier every day) between abused and abuser. And I understand exactly why you'd want to be on the side of the powerful, cruel and, by default, secure. It's the reason why some poor people get angry about rich people having to pay more taxes. It's why people join celebrities' entourages. It's why two oppressed, disenfranchised groups fight with each other, instead of the powerful entity that's oppressing and disenfranchising them.
All of that is true. But it doesn't change the fact that you have power if you choose to take it. You have power to go stand on the side of the bullied, to stand up to the bullies, to set an example. You can take a deep breath and look at the popular crowd – are they popular because they're good, smart people? Or are they popular because people are afraid of being their targets? If the second example is the truth, then you can reject them. You can form your own circle, be your own person, and start thinking for yourself early.
I didn't. And I won't blame you if you don't either. It's so fucking hard. It does get better for the outcast and the bullied. But you, in the bully's entourage, can help make it better by taking away part of the bully's power.
You can take away you. And if you take the dare, and do it, you'll be shocked to see how deep it diminishes the weight and scope and space a bully takes up in the world. And when you see that, and experience it, it'll be your first – and unarguable – taste of how much weight and scope and space you have.
I'll never know. I never did it.
Will you?
Sincerely,
Patton Oswalt
Wow. Such powerful words.
And brutally honest.
We commend him for his bravery - it's never easy to look back upon your own mistakes and try to rectify them.
But he's completely, 100% right, we ALL have to be vigilant of one another, and make sure that we're not sitting idly by, aware that our peers or friends are treating others with a lack of respect, and not doing anything about it!
It gets better, but we also have to help it get better!
This morning, Star Magazine released a story from Kim Zolciak's lesbian lover, claiming that the Real housewife was preggers with Atlanta Falcons' Kroy Biermann's child.
After having seen the news, Kim took to her Twitter to set the record straight! She wrote:
"Lmao at Star magazine article!! Hilarious!"
Um, wait, so are you denying the story or not? Because it is a hilarious story, regardless!
Okay, "hates" is a strong word. It's also wrong. We should say she "disliked" Russell Brand. Past tense important.
In a new interview, Rihanna, who missed her friend's nuptials to the comedian in India this weekend, reveals that the first time she met Russell, she wasn't so fond of him. She explains:
"I first met him when he was interviewing me on TV. I was sick and it was the worst interview I have ever done. I was throwing up in a bucket and a doctor gave me a shot in my butt. Nothing was funny to me. I thought it was the most stupid fucking interview I ever did in my fucking life. Why am I talking to this idiot? He made me want to throw up again. This is a stupid interview."
Wow! Imagine if that was her maid-of-honor speech! Ha!
But no worries, they get along great now! Katy Perry would never let her bestie and her hubby have beef!
It has been confirmed that Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus have filed for divorce. After 17 years of marriage, the couple filed this morning in Tennessee citing irreconcilable differences. They released a joint statement, saying:
"As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family. We are trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers."
Sad.
Tough times ahead for Miles and Noah. Let's hope they make time for each other while their parents figure things out.
Check out (above) this PSA on sexual harassment featuring some vintage Lady GaGa as a teen who isn't afraid to tell you when you're making her uncomfortable!
She's pretty dressed up for a daytime appointment, but looking great!
Christina Aguilera was spotted at the SLS Hotel in El Lay in Beverly Hills on Tuesday for a meeting, but it's rumored that she has been staying there while her soon-to-be ex stays at their house.
Lil Wayne is scheduled to be released from prison in a week, but he managed to cause a lil bit more drama before leaving!
Captain Raphael Collazzo, a prison guard at Riker's, has been given a 10 day suspension, without pay, for making an unauthorized visit to Weezy while he was in solitary confinement.
At least 2 other guards have gotten into trouble for unauthorized visits with Lil Wayne.
Guess these guards are sick of the same old non-famous inmates. Must be worth some discipline for them to get some excitement in their lives.
If U were a guard at Riker's Island, would U risk getting in trouble to chill with Weezy?
Attention Insomniacs! If your Itunes playlist isn't filled to the brim with Coldplay songs, then you're doing yourself a disservice, because according to a Travelodge survey, they're the #1 band that helps people fall asleep!
Just in case Parachutes, X & Y, and Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends don't put you to sleep, here are the top 10 artists that help people fall asleep:
Universal picked up a real hot spec last month called Snow White and the Huntsman, a reimagined "buddy" take on the classic fairytale. The studio is so keen to get underway that they've already started casting. Sources are suggesting that they are going after some HUGE names for the roles, including Tom Hardyand Angelina Jolie.
Insiders on the project say that Universal is close to nailing down Tom to play Eric, the Huntsman who is ordered by the evil queen to kill Snow White, though there is some issues with scheduling. As for Angelina, the studio is looking to have her play Ravenna, the evil queen and villain, which she'd be a perfect fit for. We hear she is somewhat interested in it, but would want to finish her movie in Bosnia first.
But what about her rumored lead in Tim Burton'sMaleficent? Which will she choose?
We say, don't! Do both! This could be a new, fun venture for you! Give up the spy game and get into villainy!
But either way, Angie and Tom together - YES PLEASE!
Wouldn't U love to see them steam up a screen together???
In her first interview post-twinsie birth, Celine Dion has shared that she has yet to name her two new bundles of joy. Fact is, there is just too much to chose from!
She admits that she has read nearly "15,000 names and nothing has stuck." She adds:
"Because [elder son] René-Charles goes to school in the United States, he's suggested English first names. My mother, on the other hand, has been hinting about very French first names and we're going a little bit crazy trying to decide."
Hmm. Go with the French names! Something suave and sweet that flows off the tongue! That'd be rad!
Though she hasn't made a decision on the names yet, one thing she has decided on is to head back to Vegas come March. However, expect to see a lot more of her, as she reveals she won't be dieting in favor of being able to breastfeed. She's gained about 40 pounds during her pregnancy, but Celine doesn't seem to mind:
"I don't care about my figure. I never have and I'm not worried. In any case, I'm not going on any diet because I want to breastfeed … Besides I have a really good stylist and if it's a question of going up a dress size or two — well, so be it."
Good for you! As long as you are staying healthy, we're happy to have you just the way you are!
After running almost three years on Broadway, In the Heights will give its final performance on Sunday, January 9, 2011.
The show won four Tony Awards in 2008 including Best Musical, Best Music and Lyrics, Best Choreography, and Best Orchestrations. It also took home the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Original Cast Album.
Jennifer Garner was spotted with her ADORABLE daughter Violet yesterday, picking up some children's books for the two to enjoy at the local library, and we can't believe how much the cutie pie is starting to look like her mom!
And of course, it's so nice to see that reading is clearly a priority in their family!
As soon as Tom Cruise's adopted daughter Isabella turns 18, she is moving out of his home faster than Tom's character Cole during the Daytona 500 in Days Of Thunder!
Here's what a source had to say about Isabella's desire to leave her home:
"Bella can't wait to get out from under Tom's thumb and get away from stepmom Katie."
More from the source:
"Bella and Connor have lived a very sheltered life. Tom's sister Cass home-schooled them and their schedules and interaction with friends and outsiders has been tightly monitored."
Obviously we don't live in Tom and Katie Holmes' Beverly Hills compound, but we have our suspicions that Isabella's desire to move out is probably warranted.
Do U think you'd want to leave home too if you lived with Tom Cruise?
Yesterday, Gwen Stefanipacked up her boys and took them to Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch. While Kingston ran about enjoying the patch, Zuma stayed attached to his mommy while they picked out pumpkins.
Look at that lil' grump-grump face! Precious!
Enjoy it now, while it lasts, Gwen!
Check out more pictures from their pumpkin outing! (below)

Adam Lambert is set to be the subject of the next E! True Hollywood Story, which premieres November 21st!
Here are some of the HIGHlights of his interview:
On his family:
"I'm very fortunate to have parents that recognized that I was different and recognized how I was special. They didn't ever try to box me in."
On traveling Europe and performing on cruise ships:
"I was exploring my sexuality a lot more aggressively. I was living a rock star lifestyle. I tried a lot of things – it was a big eye-opener for me."
On his fans:
"My fans have been really supportive of my choice to be open and upfront about my sexuality and my lifestyle. I have come from the belief that hiding something from people and manipulating what they think of you is far more offensive and disrespectful than just being upfront and being who you are."
Awesome!
We're very curious to hear what else he has to say - especially about some of the more public hurtles he's had to overcome! He never shies away from telling it like it is, for which we have the utmost respect!
What do U think?? Will U be tuning into the Glambert's E! True Hollywood Story??
In her book UnSweetined, former Full House star Jodie Sweetin portrays her ex Cody Herpin in an unfavorable light and now he is suing her, along with the book's publisher Simon & Schuster.
Herpin claims that the book depicts him in a "false light" as well as "lazy, unwilling to provide and support his family, uncaring, vindictive, unsupportive and disinterested" in Jodie's pregnancy.
The legal papers include the following passage from the book:
"During the day, the baby was 100 percent my responsibility. Cody, meanwhile, played video games." Cody "would try to make me laugh because he knew it hurt when I laughed. That and video games were his two forms of entertainment."
In his new book Life, Keith Richardsadmits that he did inhale the remains of his father, despite the fact that his reps insisted he was joking.
Richards wrote:
"I really DID snort my father's ashes. The truth of the matter is that after having Dad's ashes in a black box for six years, because I really couldn't bring myself to scatter him to the winds, I finally planted a sturdy English oak to spread him around.
And as I took the lid off of the box, a fine spray of his ashes blew out on to the table. I couldn't just brush him off so I wiped my finger over it and snorted the residue.
Ashes to ashes, father to son. He is now growing oak trees and would love me for it."
We don't mean to be cynical, but we seem to get this quote from her every time she has a new boyfriend!
Jessica Simpson is once again gushing about her boyfriend, Eric Johnson, and claims that while the two celebrated her 30th birthday, she realized that she's never been this happy before!
She reveals:
"He brings out a lot of light in me and makes me very comfortable being who I am. It's nice to be with somebody who praises you for the right reasons. I was in Capri and I was with my boyfriend and my family and my friends, and I just felt this coming-of-age moment, this moment where I really just felt the happiest I've ever been, and I love the woman inside of me."
To be fair, gurlfriend has certainly had a good year, and seems to be coming into her own, so we hope that she truly is happy!
We just hope that she continues the positivity even if she and Johnson part ways!
You have to be happy with YOU before you can be happy with someone else, bb!
What do U think?? Do U think Jessica's latest man will stick??
Sources claim that Justin met up with Olivia late last month at a MySpace party in New York City. They allegedly exchanged numbers and the "chase" was on!!! Justin started to pursue Olivia, but was thwarted when she told him she wouldn't hook-up with him because he was taken. Lucky for him, he's allegedly "been telling people it's over with Jessica" for while now, even though "the reality is he's just doing it behind her back."
"It" being shacking up with other ladies…which is exactly what happened with Olivia!
Once she was assured she wouldn't be stealing another woman's man, Olivia wasted no time inviting Justin back to her hotel, where they were spotted being "openly affectionate." We also hear from one source that the pair enjoyed "amazing sex" that night.
Although Charlie Sheen may have fallen off the wagon in New York City on Tuesday, the Pitkin County D.A. in Colorado has "no interest" in revoking the actor's probation.
Charlie's case in Aspen is viewed as a "petty misdemeanor" and no one want to open a case for bed behavior that occurred out of state. The D.A. added that an investigation would be a "waste of [Pitkin County] taxpayers' money."
His probation for the Christmas incident in Aspen lasts another 7 days.
Sheen got lucky this time, but he better start behaving before something bad happens!
We're SUPER excited to report that our beloved Kylie Minogue is planning to tour the United States in April and May of 2011, in promotion of her latest album, Aphrodite!
WE'RE SO EXCITED!
The singer explains:
"Europe has seen a lot more of me over the years. But here in the States, kinda just seen me now and then. My [U.S.] audience has been exceptionally loyal and overwhelming patient, waiting for me to come back. Last year, when I went on tour in the U.S., for me, it was worth the wait. It was amazing, the crowds were beyond great!"
Yes! It's about time, bb!
We've missed you!
We anticipate quite a bit of ferocity on the way!
What do U think?? Are U gonna hit up a Kylie show while she's in the States??
Somethings never really leave you, no matter how much time has passed.
Rihanna opened up to Marie Claire in their upcoming issue about a lot of topics, but one thing we didn't expect to hear about was Chris Brown. The wounds have healed, physically, but mentally, she's still dealing somewhat.
When asked about how she looks back on the beating she took at the hands of Brown, she admits that it's a painful memory, but one that might have been needed in her life. She explains:
"God has a crazy way of working, and sometimes when stuff happens you feel like, 'What did I do to deserve this?' Why was it backfiring on me?' But I needed that wake-up call in my life. I needed a turning point, and that's what God was giving to me."
Then, she admits that despite what he did to her, it wasn't easy to break up with Chris.
But when it was done, she knew it:
"I remember I was in New York at the Trump Hotel and I woke up and I just knew I was over it. It was a different day. I felt different. I didn't feel lonely," she recalls. "I felt like I wanted to get up and be in the world. That was a great, great feeling."
We're sure it was and we can't tell you how pleased we are with all you've managed to accomplish since then!
We're proud of you girl. Violence is never the answer, but moving past it certainly is. You can never dwell on the negatives for too long.
James Cameronannounced today that his next project will be TWO sequels to his 3D smurf alien extravaganza, Avatar!
The Academy Award winning director plans to write the screenplays for Avatar 2 and 3 early next year, and hopefully begin production by the end of 2011. Avatar 2 is tentatively scheduled to be released in December of 2014, with Avatar 3 arriving the following year!
Inneresting! So he's taking the Pirates and Matrix route and shooting these bitches back-to-back!
Let's cross our fingers and hope that his sequels fare better than those did!
Check out the full press release AFTER THE JUMP!
Thoughts??
LOS ANGELES (October 27, 2010) — Moving forward with the most anticipated films of the next decade, Fox Filmed Entertainment Chairmen Jim Gianopulos and Tom Rothman announced today that Academy Award®-winning filmmaker James Cameron has agreed to make AVATAR 2 and 3 as his next films.
Cameron, who had always viewed AVATAR as the creation of a new world and mythology, will begin work on the scripts early next year with an eye towards commencing production later in 2011. Cameron will decide if he will shoot the films back-to-back after he completes the scripts, but the release of the first, as yet untitled sequel, is targeted for December 2014, with the third film contemplated for a December 2015 release.
AVATAR 2 & 3 will be produced by Cameron and Jon Landau for Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment.
"AVATAR is not only the highest grossing movie of all time, it is a created universe based on the singular imagination and daring of James Cameron, who also raised the consciousness of people worldwide to some of the greatest issues facing our planet," said Rothman and Gianopulos. "We had no higher priority, and can feel no greater joy, than enabling Jim to continue and expand his vision of the world of AVATAR. This is a great day in the history of our company, and we thank Jim, Jon Landau, Rae Sanchini and all of their team and all of our Fox colleagues throughout the world, who have made this possible."
Commented Cameron: "It is a rare and remarkable opportunity when a filmmaker gets to build a fantasy world, and watch it grow, with the resources and partnership of a global media company. AVATAR was conceived as an epic work of fantasy – a world that audiences could visit, across all media platforms, and this moment marks the launch of the next phase of that world. With two new films on the drawing boards, my company and I are embarking on an epic journey with our partners at Twentieth Century Fox. Our goal is to meet and exceed the global audience's expectations for the richness of AVATAR's visual world and the power of the storytelling.
In the second and third films, which will be self contained stories that also fulfill a greater story arc, we will not back off the throttle of AVATAR's visual and emotional horsepower, and will continue to explore its themes and characters, which touched the hearts of audiences in all cultures around the world. I'm looking forward to returning to Pandora, a world where our imaginations can run wild."
"It is very exciting to be teaming again with our partners at Fox to give audiences the opportunity to return to Pandora," said producer Jon Landau. "With the first movie, Jim only scratched the surface of the stories he wants to tell and the creatures and world he wants to create. Now we will continue his vision."
AVATAR is the highest grossing film of all time, taking in nearly $2.8 billion in worldwide box office. It is also the top-selling Blu-ray disc of all time. AVATAR won Golden Globe® awards for Best Motion Picture and Best Director; and was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and won Oscars for art direction, visual effects and cinematography.
AVATAR was written by Cameron from an idea he nurtured for over a decade, while working on the technology necessary to realize its wholly imagined world. Working with Joe Letteri and his team at Peter Jackson's WETA Digital, Cameron created a fully immersive 3D cinematic experience of a new kind, where revolutionary technology that was invented to make the film disappeared into the emotion of the characters and the epic nature of the story.
AVATAR 2 & 3 will mark Cameron's latest collaborations with Twentieth Century Fox, a relationship that spans 25 years and marks one of the most successful filmmaker-studio alliances in motion picture history. Cameron and Fox first joined forces in 1985 for Aliens, which became a sci-fi classic. Next came The Abyss, which revolutionized visual effects technology; and True Lies, a blockbuster starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. In 1996, Fox greenlighted Cameron's Titanic, which became the most successful film in history, and won a record-breaking eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Lightstorm partner Rae Sanchini negotiated the deal on Lightstorm's behalf.
Where is this child's mother? Get her off TV right now! Either she's headed towards a nervous breakdown or she's turning into another tragic victim of fame-whoring!
The drama continues over on MTV's show Teen Mom, as Amber Portwood's life continues to unravel. Right now, she is facing a domestic violence case that could have her thrown in jail and lose her her child. On top of that, things have not improve with her and her baby daddy Gary Shirley, who recently called the police to his home after Amber threatened him and locked herself out of her house in her underwear.
The worst is that Amber maybe suicidal! According to a friend of Gary's, Jordan Sanchez, there have been several instances where Amber has called Gary at his place and told him, "Come home or I'm gonna kill myself!" Furthermore, the Teen Mom star has also allegedly been sleeping until 7 p.m. some days and has been abusing Klonopin, a powerful sedative.
OMG! Where'd she get her hands on that?
If this is all true, then someone at MTV needs to step in. She's made enough money for them. Now it is time to get her some help!
So check yourself before you wreck yourself, Jake Gyllenhaal or you're going to end up on her fourth album!
It's no secret that Taylor Swift draws inspiration from her own life for her music and mostly her love life. But as she explained in a recent interview about the album, considering her history, all of her ex-loves have "had fair warning at this point."
That means if you were surprised there is song about you out there, John Mayer, you haven't been paying attention.
Swifty further explains:
"For two years I was living life and I kind of write it real time. I wrote these moments in time. The songs are written when I'm feeling what it is I'm discussing in the song. It's all kind of done when it's happening."
Hmm. Are you writing a song right now about strolling around Brooklyn with a prince of Persia? Just curious!
This Gnomeo & Juliet soundtrack is going to be seriously FABOOSH!
Elton John, who is behind the tunes for the Disney flick with his partner, David Furnish, has already enlisted the vocal stylingz of Miz Lady GaGa for the song Hello, Hello, but now it's being reported that he will ALSO be teaming up with Nelly Furtado for a new version of his 1973 hit Crocodile Rock!
Amazing!
We think she's the PERFECT choice for that song! Gurl is going to RAWK it!
What do U think?? Are U excited for a new version of Crocodile Rock with Nelly-Nelly-Nelly Furtado, up in your stereo??
The happy news is tainted, however, by claims from Miz Z's former lady friend, DJ Tracy Young, that SHE was initially asked by the Housewife to raise the kid with her!
She explains:
"She said she still loved me and wanted to tell me something important face to face. When I asked her what she was going to do, she said, 'I want you to stay and raise the baby with me, because Kroy doesn't want to be involved.'"
According to Young, two days later Kroy and Kim reconciled, and she was hung out to dry!
WOW. That's some pretty heavy shiz!
We expect Kim to shoot back a rebuttal any second now, but for the time being, let's just focus on the positive, and say congratulations! A baby is a wonderful thing!
According to Prime Minister John Key, The Hobbit will be filmed in New Zealand.
New labor laws will be introduced to Parliament to support the film industry in the region. The New Zealand government will give the film a $15 million tax rebate and offset $10 million of Warner Brothers' marketing costs. In exchange, the studio will promote New Zealand as a film production and tourism destination.
Key added that marketing from the films will be worth ”tens of millions” to New Zealand. This was after an actors union issued a no-work order on the films last month, but talks have been held overnight and the issues have been resolved.
The Prime Minister added:
"It's good to have the uncertainty over, and to have everyone now full steam ahead on this project. I am delighted we have achieved this result." It will safeguard work for thousands and "put New Zealand on the world stage".
Sacha Baron Cohen is being sued for yet another one of his antics that took place during the filming of Bruno.
The Bruno actor is being accused of attacking Mike Skiff, a gay cameraman at a Prop 8 Rally in 2008.
According to lawsuit documents, Cohen and the Bruno crew arrived at the rally with "Yes on Proposition 8 signs contrived for the sole purpose of inciting and sparking unrest to enhance the dramatic effect of what they may capture for their film."
Skiff claims that when he began to shoot footage of the Bruno crew, they confronted him "…with the threat of being clubbed with wood signs."
The cameraman claims that Cohen shoved, pulled, and wrestled him while in Bruno character, which caused him serious injury.
Do U think the cameraman's claims are legit? Or do U think he's just looking for some $$$?
Seriously David, you know you need to stop doing this. What's the thought process with making another one of these calls?
This morning, David announced on Howard's show that he still loves Courteney Cox, and that his most important possession is his wedding ring.
He went on to tell Howard that he never signed a prenup, to which Howard asked him "Can you count to 50?"
The significance of "50" is that David could get $50 million if they divorce without a prenup, because Courteney is worth $100 million, and based on California State Law, couples who have been married for a certain length of time must split their assets down the middle.
We're not sure exactly how appropriate it is to cite your wedding ring as your most important possession during the same conversation in which you talk about NOT having a prenup. Just a thought.
What do U think of David's most recent call to Howard Stern?
Turns out, part of this family vacation to New York City that Denise Richardsand Charlie Sheenplanned for their girls included a few promotional stops for Denise, so she could talk about her new reality show. But that seems to have all gone to hell now! Every interviewer that she has met with in the last two days only wants to know about one thing: Charlie.
This morning, Denise appeared on FOX and Friends on the FOX News Channel and was right away asked what happened with Charlie the previous night. With as much patience and poise as she could muster, Denise told them it was a "private matter" and that she won't be talking about the situation so she can "protect her girls." She explains:
"This is something that is unfortunate. I have been booked on all these shows to promote my show and I want to fulfill that obligation. This is a very personal private matter. I'm trying to protect my girls. They don't know anything going on and I prefer to keep it that way and leave out the details."
When pushed further to comment if he was headed back to rehab, Denise replied: "I'm not going to comment on anything. I'm good, my girls are good."
Pretty stand-up of you, Denise. You really could be milking this to get double the interviews this week, but instead you're taking the high road. We're impressed.
We thought we'd never hear that beautiful voice again!
Check out Justin Timberlake performing an EPIC mashup of his smash hit, Cry Me A River, as well as Bill Withers' Ain't No Sunshine and Drake's Over at a concert for Shriners Hospitals for Children!
He even throws in a brand new line directed at everyone who doubts that he'll ever cut a new album!
Although she faced a shocking elimination on Dancing with the Stars on Tuesday, Audrina Patridge isn't too upset! She will be the star of a new VH1 reality show.
Audrina said:
"The show with Mark Burnett got picked up by VH1 so the journey continues! It's a reality show about me and my family. Everything that people have wondered about me, they'll now get to see! And I hope Tony [Dovolani, her DWTS partner] will be on it! I'd love to make some trips to NY to see him because we are such good friends now!"
There's nothing I can really say. It was meant to be, I guess.
I've learned a lot about myself. I've found a new confidence. Since I'm not on The Hills anymore, I kind of get to get in touch with myself and what I want to do and make my own decisions. I feel like I'm just maturing more and more. There are so many things going around in my head right now."
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, 175,000 people were impacted in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Giri, which hit Myanmar on Friday with winds of 155 mph. Meteorologists have equated the storm to a super typhoon.
As of Tuesday, 70,795 people remain homeless. Severe damage has been done to infrastructure, including torn up roads and knocked down telephone poles.
At least 27 people were killed and 15 are missing.
- He sounds great on his new song! - The orchestration is great! - The message is great!
But…..
Unfortunately, the song itself is just average.
Waiting Outside The Lines will be tough for radio, even adult contemporary stations.
He is sooooo young - and obviously talented - but he just lacks the experience of someone like Taylor Swift, whose been writing for years and will be 21 years old in December.
We hope Grey's team - including Ellen and his managers (GaGa and Madonna's managers) - as well as the label pair him with some great co-writers and also make sure he just does some hit songs that he doesn't even write on.
We look forward to hearing much more from him!
Check out Greyson's performance of the song on DeGeneres' show (above).
This is a truly terrible, sad story, which could have easily been avoided!
America's Got Talent auditioner Joe Finley's wife was found dead after falling eight floors to her death, following a night of heavy partying with drugs and alcohol.
Finley had reported his wife missing the morning before his audition.
Here's what Joe had to say about it:
"She was supposed to get us breakfast because I had to get up and get in line [to audition]. She didn't come back so I just left and got in line and figured she was still out. I didn't think anything of it."
More from Joe:
"We were partying, we took ecstasy, but it wasn't out of control. She was really happy, I was happy, we were excited about my music. I wrote her a poem. We went down to a jazz bar in the hotel and then took a tour of the hotel because apparently it's an historic place. We were having a great time."
So, so sad and completely avoidable! Had they partied more responsibly, this would never have happened.
Nick Cannon called his wife, Mariah Carey, this morning to set the record straight about all the rumors and the singer hinted that she's going to be making an announcement on the Today show Thursday.
She says it will "enlighten people" a little bit more and that it's "too much" at this point with all the baby rumors and speculation.
Yeah, we've been hearing Mariah may not be pregnant, as has been widely reported, but instead she may just have gained a lot of weight from all the fertility drugs she's been taking.
But we do hope she is with child, if not now then soon!
While on his private jet back to Los Angeles yesterday, Charlie Sheendecided to end his silence and speak out about what went on yesterday morning at the Plaza Hotel. Via text message, he contacted a source to tell his side of it.
He told sources that the whole story about the hooker and the cocaine and being found by the police stark naked and speaking jibber-jabber has been "totally overblown." He went on to explain that what the media has said about what happened has been "overplayed as far as the reality of the scenario."
And what is the reality of the scenario you may ask? Nah-ah! His not giving that info up so easily!
When asked specifically what happened behind-the-scenes of this escapade, Charlie would only say:
"I know what went down and that's where it will stay… under wraps."
Lame! Don't you know inquiring minds want to know this info? What's with the coy all of a sudden?!
You know, we bet it wasn't even Charlie who texted these messages to sources. Probably his rep or manager or something.
The Michael Jackson estate is about to get another chunk of change now that there is a bidding war over packaging a film around the legendary song Thriller.
Kenny Ortega is attached to direct the film, while The Hangover writer Jeremy Garelick pens the script. The plot is being kept secret, but Mandate/Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment are involved in what will end up as a pricey rights deal that will cap the film's budget at $50 million.
Rumor has it that the movie will center on Vincent Price and the town he grew up in. The Jackson estate has to sign off od the deal, but that has been in the works for some time and is expected to be done shortly.
But we'll be seeing much more of Michael's work soon! Cirque du Soleil is in talks to do two live shows based on his music, while Ivan Reitman and Tom Pollock have a feature about Michael's younger years in the works.
The source, who confirms that things ended between the two in mid-September, explains:
"They're professionals. They're still good friends and hang out on the set. They kept this news to themselves for a while. Nobody on set had any idea. They're really just private."
This one is really bumming us out, because they just always seemed so quietly content together!
But we're glad that they've managed to keep things professional and pleasant for the rest of the upper east siders!
So sad.
Regardless of everything, though, we're sure it must be difficult to have see your ex every day, so hang in there, you two!
The excitement is growing! The anticipation is building!
We are just two days away until our first-ever "One Night In… Jersey" bash, and we are thrilled to announce that Natalia Kills will be taking the stage to perform at the House of Blues in Atlantic City on Friday, October 29th, the perfect kickoff to your Halloween weekend!
Sources are reporting that before he lost what sense he had to the white magic up his nose his allergy medicine, Charlie Sheen planned a date for him and his ex-wife in New York City.
More accurately, he invited her to join him and a group of friends for dinner…a group of prostitute friends!
Yes, as we hear it, hours before Charlie did a number on his Plaza hotel room, he was out having dinner with his escort and group of cohorts at Daniel on the upper east side. Witnesses saw Charlie acting "rowdy" and "frisky" as soon as they had arrive, almost like he had already been drinking. At one point, one of the eyewitnesses saw Charlie and his hooker go to the bathroom, together! As they put it, "You don't have to be an investigator to know what was going on in that bathroom."
Unfortunately for her, Denise Richards did show up at the restaurant for a bit, but soon regretted it. Witnesses say that she stayed for a bit, but then "looked like she had enough" of Charlie's shenanigans and left to go back to the hotel.
The rest is history, tacked onto years of similar antics without consequences.
Sources close to them have said that they're "seriously considering" having another child. One source has said that they're making additions to their home, including a playroom and 2 bedrooms.
Certainly sounds like another baby may be in the works to us!
According to the National Enquirer, Donnie Wahlberg's mistress is sperminated!
Michelle Tomlinson, the reason Donnie's wife asked for a divorce, is due to give birth in March. However, Donnie isn't too happy about it! He "freaked out" when he heard the news and then ended the relationship.
