"Tiger Mask" is the alter ego of pro wrestler Naoto Date, a man who goes against an evil wrestling organization and fights for children in an orphanage. In the new setup for the film, Date dons a special suit and "transforms" into Tiger Mask with enhanced mobility and muscle strength. Also included in the cast are Show Aikawa (Tokyo Zombie, Zebraman) and Natsuna (Kimi ni Todoke, Gantz) as Mister X and the heroine Ruriko, respectively. Instead of a tiger-like mask similar in the manga, it has been redesigned with a nod to American comic action heroes such as Spider-Man and Batman. Tiger Mask premieres November 2013. 1/2

I don’t go to the movies very often. I think the last time I went to a theatre on purpose was to see the first of the current Star Trek movies, and then I only went because it was a private screening and I could reasonably expect the audience to shut the fuck up, turn off their damn phones, and pay attention to the film. I planned to write a paragraph here detailing why I hate going to the movies, but I think I just covered it, so let me write a different paragraph instead, about how I finally found a movie theatre that I will go to as long as it exists: the iPic theatre in Pasadena (also called Gold Class, I understand) is the only way I will ever watch a movie again for the rest of my life if I can help it. It costs much more than a typical multiplex, but it is entirely worth it, and this theatre has replaced the Arclight (which makes me sad, but sometime in the last couple of years, Arclight stopped enforcing the shut the fuck up and turn you goddamn phone off policy that had made it such an attractive destination for me for so long). I’ve really wanted to see Star Trek Into Darkness, but I had resigned myself to not seeing it until it was available to watch in the comfort of my own home … until Stepto, e, and my friend Jen all told me about the existence of a theatre that was actually enjoyable, instead of wall-to-wall bullshit advertising and people who have such little respect for the movies and the rest of the people in the audience, they belong at the gathering of the Juggalos instead of in a movie house. When I saw that one of these theatres was not only nearby but was also showing Star Trek Into Darkness, I looked at my schedule, gave myself an afternoon off, and took my entire family to see it. We just got home, and the rest of this post will be about my first impressions of the movie. If you haven’t seen it, do not read past the jump, or scroll past the giant picture of Bender B. Rodriguez I’ve placed for those of you who came here directly. I will discuss specific plot points and spoilers. You have been warned. The short version is: I loved it. I think it’s my favorite Star Trek movie ever, and I can’t wait to see what this crew does next. Welcome to the rest of the post, person who has already seen Star Trek Into Darkness, or person who gives up his/her/its right to complain at me about spoilers because you were warned. Let’s talk about the movie, shall we? I could have done without the whole beginning, which felt gratuitous and largely disconnected from the rest of the film to me, but I suppose they needed a way to set up Spock putting the needs of the many ahead of the needs of the one, or the few. I had a very hard time accepting that the Enterprise could sit underwater, but I’m willing to accept it and get over it. The makeup on those aliens was awesome, though. I’ve read a lot of online criticism that Uhura didn’t do anything useful and was just there to weep and be weak around Spock. I honestly didn’t get that at all. She bravely faces down the fucking Klingons, knowing that she’s risking her life, and then is a badass during the climax when Spock and the ship need her the most. I suppose you can make an argument that she had no business bringing up relationship stuff with Spock in the middle of an important mission, but in a high stress situation maybe things bubbling beneath the surface just come up. It didn’t bother me, but I’m not a woman so I can’t speak to how women feel with the portrayal of 50% of the women in the movie. Yeah, there are two women of consequence in the film, and that is bullshit. So on the other end of the writing-for-women spectrum is the profound failure to do awesome stuff with Doctor Marcus. I was disappointed, and I imagine that there must be deleted scenes that make her much more interesting (I have no problem with Alice Eve’s performance. I thought she did a fine job with what they wrote for her). She’s so goddamn smart, and we know that she ends up inventing the goddamn Genesis device, so it’s a huge waste to make her little more than eye candy for Kirk. Putting her in her underwear was embarrassing to me as a member of the Star Trek Family, and served absolutely no purpose other than to make teenage boys feel weird, like when they climb the rope in gym class. I have no problem with Star Trek being sexy, but make it part of the story for a good reason, Damon Lindelof. That said, not a single performance rang false to me, and I again wished I could watch this crew every week instead of once every few years. I loved the pacing of the film. I loved how it looked and sounded, I loved the reveal of Khan, I loved the development of Kirk and Spock’s relationship. I loved the various nods to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and the original series. When Kirk and Spock traded places with their counterparts in The Wrath of Khan, it blew me away, and if the movie hadn’t worked so well up to that point, if they hadn’t developed Kirk and Spock’s relationship the way that they did, it would have been laughable. It speaks volumes about the writing and the film as a whole that they could take that risk and have it pay off. Benedict Cumberbatch is one of my very favorite — excuse me, favourite — actors today, and he brought his brilliant mixture of confidence and strength to Khan in a way that, with all due respect, Montalban never did. Never once does Cumberbatch make the obvious choice, his performance is always subtle, always controlled, and when he finally goes full-Khan, scary as hell. Peter Weller’s Admiral Marcus reminded me of Nicholson in A Few Good Men, without the screaming and chewing of scenery, and his desire to provoke a war by any means necessary in contravention of his Starfleet oath was a fundamental part of what I viewed as the main message of the movie. The entire film is about doing whatever it takes to protect and care for your family and those you love, and finding a balance between providing that protection in a way that cares for them without becoming the very thing you’re trying to protect them from. It’s a warning about the dangers inherent in letting vengeance eclipse justice, and reflexively choosing the military option at all times. It’s about everything America has done wrong in our post-9/11 world. In fact, I was subconsciously thinking about life post-9/11 so much that when Khan crashes his ship into San Francisco — another commentary, I believe, on the dangers in creating a weapon only to have that weapon turned right back on yourself (see: The Taliban) — I flinched and my stomach clenched. It affected me in a visceral way that I was not expecting, especially in a Star Trek movie. If the power of Science Fiction is to force us to confront subjects that are difficult or taboo, I will argue that Into Darkness does it as effectively as anything I’ve seen in years. And this leads me to answer another criticism I’ve heard frequently: Into Darkness doesn’t live up to the ideals Gene Roddenberry instilled in the Original Series and The Next Generation. Again, I can’t disagree with this more strongly. In the original series, against a backdrop of the Cold War, just a few years after the Cuban Missile Crisis, Star Trek did stories about the dangers of unchecked militarization, the dangers of seeing only black and white in a conflict, and the power of the human spirit to put aside petty differences to work together to save us all. Against the backdrop of the civil rights movement, Star Trek dared to show a multicultural crew of men and women working together as equals to bravely explore the unknown. This is the legacy we attempted to live up to in The Next Generation, and though we didn’t always succeed, we still told stories about finding peace in the midst of war, standing up for truth at all costs, and most of all the strength of the family. It is on our shoulders that DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, and the first Star Trek reboot all stood, and Into Darkness does a fine job of respecting this heritage. And even though it doesn’t give us the same moral punch as Tapestry or Darmok or The Doomsday Machine or A Taste of Armageddon, (which it can’t, due to blockbuster film economics among other things), it still addresses a subject that is very relevant to our lives today. It also does that in a way that isn’t preachy, and it does it in a damn entertaining film that may just provide an infection vector for a whole new audience — the next generation if you will — to explore the existing Star Trek world. But, ultimately, a movie should entertain its audience. It should thrill and delight and surprise us so much we want the whole thing to start over again so we can take the ride one more time. By that measure, Star Trek Into Darkness succeed beyond my wildest dreams. Source

Many artists have found that Tumblr is the perfect avenue to define themselves, both through and beyond of their work. Odd Future was among the first rap acts to build an online movement via Tumblr, and A$AP Yams' carefully curated "Real Nigga Tumblr" was key to building the buzz that led to the launch of A$AP Rocky and in turn the launch of A$AP Mob as a whole. The key—as Yamborghini explains in our interview—is knowing how to use Tumblr to create and nurture an Internet community and using that to propel them to the next level in the real world.

It can carry a stigma, as if the artists involved were unable to carry fanbases offline, or were overly concerned with surface-level aesthetics, or characterized by a severe retro-obsession. In other words: a musical reblog. There's no denying that some performers who've gained a little fame from Tumblr fit some part of that description all too well.

Other, more established stars—like, say, Beyoncé—have used the platform to broadcast stunning images of her performances and appearances to which we might not otherwise have access. Meanwhile, some artists—likeKreayshawn—use Tumblr in a traditional way, by cultivating an aesthetic through a combination of her own content generation, and by reblogging others, becoming a conduit for her tastes and impulses.

No matter how it's used, Tumblr has become a key venue for artists to build their careers, or to maintain them. Here are 10 Artists Who Know How to Use Tumblr.

Tumblr: azealiabanks.tumblr.com/ The combative Harlem spitfire has drawn more attention for beef than music in recent months, but in the Internet era that's less likely to sideline her career; after all, she's not just a musician, but a social media icon. And, if you set her Twitter beef to the side, nowhere has she made her presence more felt than on Tumblr. Not only does the artist incorporate the aesthetics of Tumblr-perpetuated genres like #SeaPunk into her music; she also uses the site for her own uniquely-cultivated vision. Art, photography, her own music, a wreath of penises—it's all a little left-field, but defiantly her. Also, when you move your mouse around the page on her Tumblr, it scatters little pixie-dust plus signs everywhere, which is always awesome.

Tumblr: iam.beyonce.com Beyoncé certainly needed no help from Tumblr to develop her career, but this is part of the reason why hers ends up seeming so generous. Sure, the inherent narcissism of celebrity life plus a Tumblr full of selfies probably isn't the world's most selfless gift. But we do get a view of some behind-the-scenes action that is only available through the superstar singer's Tumblr. Huge photographs of her performances from the stage (albeit completely context-free) give us an up-close look at her dominating performances. And, occasionally, a glimpse at a her relationships with Jay-Z. Most fundamental of all, Beyoncé's Tumblr presence has, no doubt, solidified the Beyhive's presence on the site as well.

Tumblr: frankocean.tumblr.com/ Frank Ocean's Tumblr is minimal, humble, and enigmatic, not unlike the singer's poised presentation in song. Unlike the rest of the Odd Future collective, there's a tranquil tone to many of his posts—to go backwards in his Tumblr archive, you click on "river." To go forwards, "lake." But of course, his most famous Tumblr moment came when he decided to write a short yet powerful post about a love affair he had with a man. This moment still stands apart as a significant one in music history, and it makes sense that Tumblr would be his space to express himself; it is a space that made for easy intimacy with fans, a method of direct communication and without the political implications of releasing such a statement through some intermediary publication.

Tumblr: blog.theweeknd.com/ At this point, Abel Tesfaye's Tumblr is limited to the occasional performance photo and promotion for his upcoming release Kiss Land. But initially, Tumblr was the vehicle that launched his career. House of Balloons, his critically-acclaimed mixtape debut, premiered on his Tumblr. The sleek, shades-drawn black-and-white Terry Richardson-meets-R&B aesthetic of his presentation was a much a part of the singer's mystique as his actual reclusiveness. At once stylish and lecherous, The Weeknd's licentious touch relied heavily upon its visual appeal. His mysteriousness meant that he was defined by a few stark images. The Weeknd, then, was a true Tumblr auteur.

Lana Del Rey: I haven’t talked to an American journalist in, like, forever. Really? I don’t count, though, because I’m an expatriate. Me too. I think America is amazing for its landscape and its history. California is beautiful, New York is beautiful, but when you’re a gypsy at heart, it probably suits you to be traveling. You think you’re a gypsy? I don’t feel that way as much as I used to. I actually don’t feel that way that much anymore, but when I was younger I used to really want to have an unpredictable life where I could feel free and travel anywhere I wanted to, whenever I wanted to. I actually really like California now, although I’ve never lived there before. I like the idea of living in one place now. So how important is it to have total control over your image, especially today? It’s important—really important. It’s hard, though. It’s gotten totally taken away from me. I don’t have that much control because things go viral really quickly. I went from having no real fan base or interest to having a lot of really skewed interest and criticism. But for the majority of eight years before that in New York, I sang to the same people in the same bars and had a pretty comfortable experience doing that. That’s not really possible for me anymore, because bloggers are really influential and people are really influenced by reviews and five star critics. And those people are really influenced by images, and what they see quickly. Also, a lot of what’s been written about me is not true: of my family history or my choices or my interests. Actually, I’ve never read anything written about me that was true. It’s been completely crazy. When did you realize that it had gotten out of control? The first day that anyone ever wrote about me, as soon as I put “Video Games” up. Everything they wrote was fucking crazy. Like about my dad, about me, like having millions of dollars, and all this shit. I was like, “Really? I thought I was supporting everyone!” [laughing] Everything was not true. As soon as the first person wrote about me, the articles became just blatant, all-out lies. I consider it slander. If I cared more, I’d kill them. Obviously you will know that in preparation for this interview I read a lot of that stuff. Yeah, but none of it’s true. Because there does actually seem to be a disconnect between your public image . . . And who I am? And the private life you talk about. There is a disconnect, yeah. I spent the last ten years in community service and writing folk songs. I don’t give a fuck about what I look like. Saying I came from billions of dollars is crazy. We never had any money. I feel, as a person who grew up reading about and being inspired by other figures with integrity, to kind of be turned into the antithesis of that is not what I planned. It’s the way it’s going right now, but I deal with it as it comes. Let’s go back to what you said about doing community work. Social work involves working with people that society has forgotten or left behind, or who simply can’t function in normal society. It usually involves reintegration . . . I’m not a trained social worker. I’ve been sober for ten years, so it was drug and alcohol rehabilitation. It was more traditional twelve-step call stuff. Just people who can’t get it together, me and groups of other people who have been based in New York for a long time working with people who need help and reached out. It was about building communities around sobriety and staying clean and stuff like that. That was my focus since I moved to the Bronx when I was eighteen. I liked music, but I considered it to be a luxury. It wasn’t my primary focus: the other stuff was really my life. But no one ever . . . it’s not interesting. No, it’s really interesting. So your social work was based on your own experiences? Yeah, because I was an addict who got clean. As a teenager? Yeah. So obviously it must have informed your music. Yeah, it’s been my main influence, I would say. Well, I watched the video for “Ride”, and I was truly fascinated. To me, it felt so ‘wrong’ on so many levels, but that also made it truly transgressive because mere hedonism or being rebellious is no longer transgressive. Yeah. Like, I remember it was the San Francisco Chronicle or whatever who wrote this huge thing about me being an anti-feminist. But the thing is, I don’t really have any commentary on the female’s role in society. It was the same with my first song that got big, “Video Games”. People had criticisms about it being submissive and whatever, but nothing I ever wrote had a message. It was just my own personal experience, and it’s the same with “Ride”. I believe in free love and that’s just how I feel. It’s just my experience of being with different kinds of men and being born without a preference for a certain type of person. For me, that is my story in finding love in lots of different people, and that’s been the second biggest influence in my music. I was taken aback by how affected I was by the “Ride” video, because I felt it was really saying something important, in a sense. Talking about internal darkness, but not only accepting that within yourself, but the line in the monologue where you talk about actually being in a position to explore that—it’s very brave, actually. Thank you. Well, one thing you learn when you do get sober is that complete surrender is the foundation for all good things to come. And I feel like that idea translated to all aspects of my life. When you have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen to you or what your career’s going to end up like and you’re just really open to anything, then you don’t really have anything to lose. A lot of different people come in and out of your life. And it’s really fun to say yes, and it’s really fun to be easy about everything and just let songs come to you and let people come to you. And it is free, in a way. Let’s go back to what you were saying about not necessarily having a message, because American themes and imagery, like the American flag, feature prominently in your videos and your music. Although to my mind, it could be seen as a dark side of America. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love any fucking film or book that wasn’t based around the underbelly of society. I’ve always loved that. But on the other hand, I’m kind of simple in the way that I love the movement of a super-eight flag waving in the wind. The same with the palm trees and that sepia color of the fifties film. Like a lot of my choices had to do with the grade of the film. It was that simple, purely aesthetic. Same with my interest in photographers and things like that. A lot of it is just the look of it. I just like it. Do you consider yourself patriotic? Not anymore. You were still living in America when Obama took over. Did that change things for you? The first election? I was happy for the American people because he was a symbol that they needed to feel better. Do you have opinions on healthcare reform or . . . I have a lot of political opinions. Yeah? Let’s hear some of them. I get a lot of grief for just talking about my own musical choices. I don’t usually talk about my views these days that much on politics. Do you consider yourself to be political? Yeah, definitely. Shortly, healthcare. Well, it’s complicated because everything has changed for me. Before I had no money. And now everything I make, I lose. So I don’t have money again, because I lose half. Healthcare reform—that needed to be addressed. I still don’t have health insurance because I haven’t been back to the United States since the time when I couldn’t afford healthcare because it was seven hundred dollars a month. Okay, let’s talk about feminism. What’s your take on feminism? To be honest, I don’t really have one. I have a great appreciation for our world’s history. I learn from my own mistakes, I learn from the mistakes we’ve made as a human race. But I think we’ve gotten to a good place as women and we’ll just keep naturally progressing. That’s kind of how I feel about it. Is it true that you left the US because you felt oppressed and unloved by the American media? [laughing] Well, no one was really asking me for interviews, so there wasn’t really a reason to stay. Musically, I wouldn’t really work there because I wouldn’t know where to sing. I had a million shows lined up here, so that’s kind of why I went. And I didn’t really have any shows there. I mean, I could play on Sunset Strip and stuff. I could go back to New York . . . I’m sure you could line up some shows now. How does moving abroad affect the way you feel about America or being American? I think that my love for America has now become contained to the more specific things I appreciate about it. Like driving up the coast from Santa Monica to Santa Barbara—simple stuff like that. In terms of what I maybe thought it stood for, I don’t know. You’ve already said that a lot of the imagery was driven by aesthetic choices, but how did exploring the dark side of America affect the way you explore the theme of Americanism? That’s a good question. I actually find myself not going back to those themes in my writing in the last thirteen months. So I suppose that’s something we’ll see the result of soon? Yeah, definitely. I think it’s kind of pushed me back to really early influences. I still love the way I felt when I first found Allen Ginsberg and how much he painted with his words. And he was influenced by the American underbelly, but now, rather than me being influenced by my passion for the country, I just feel good when I listen to Jim Morrison. I feel good when I go back and read some of the Beat poets. But other than that, I don’t feel like, “Rah, rah, America!” Fuck that shit [laughing]. OP Note: I just included interesting tidbits because the full interview was rly long. Interviewer in red, interesting LDR quotes in large print. The whole interview is worth a read and disappointing as an American Lana fan, tbh

An overtime thriller in Game 6 of the NBA Finals gave ABC its best ratings of the series Tuesday and carried the network to a win for the night. But the finale of "The Voice" also scored for NBC. "The Voice" recorded its best finale ever in total viewers and was nearly even with last spring's finale in the 18-49 demographic (although it was down from the fall edition's finale). "America's Got Talent" was also solid for NBC. The night's only other original show, FOX's "So You Think You Can Dance," dropped against the heavier competition. NBC currently leads the total-viewer race with just over 14 million and an 8.6 rating/14 share in households. ABC (13.7 million, 8.2/13) is close behind, pending adjustments for the live NBA broadcast. CBS finished a distant third with 6.4 million viewers and a 4.3/7. FOX (3.85 million, 2.4/4) came in fourth. The CW brought up the rear with 652,000 viewers and a 0.4/1. ABC easily won the 18-49 demographic with a 5.4 rating, beating NBC's 3.8. FOX was third at 1.4, followed by CBS, 0.9, and The CW, 0.3. source The Queen of NBC is back! No more of this Nashville Star madness!

IT"S OFFICIAL: Dumb and Dumber To is going into production with @RedGranitePics and @UniversalPics!!! #DumbTo P pic.twitter.com/uS8UIXSRj4

— Farrelly Brothers (@farrellybros) June 18, 2013

Things are looking up for Lloyd and Harry. EW has confirmed that Universal Pictures picked up the North American distribution rights for Dumb and Dumber To, the in-development sequel to the hit 1994 Jim Carrey/Jeff Daniels comedy Dumb and Dumber. Deadline first reported the news. Peter and Bobby Farrelly, who most recently directed The Three Stooges, will return to direct the sequel. The Farrelly brothers did a rewrite on the original script which was penned by Sean Anders and John Morris, who co-wrote Hot Tub Time Machine and She’s Out of My League. Stars Carrey and Daniels are also expected to reprise their iconic roles. According to the report, the sequel will find the two friends on a road trip. Warner Bros. dropped the picture a week ago, leaving room for Universal to step in, with Red Granite signing on to finance the project. Source 1 Source 2

The newest season of The Bachelorette (we LOVE YOU DES!) is now underway. Our excitement about this launched us into a deep discussion about the repository of single Disney males and how they might fare if we lived in an imaginary world where they could compete on the show. (Don’t judge. We know we’re not the only ones who’ve thought about it.) The Dreamboat: Thomas Thomas made some mistakes early on in life, but he eventually grew into a good man and a leader of the colony. All that aside, he’s also one of the dreamiest Disney characters. Ever. We know he’s John Smith’s best friend but he’s definitely leading man material. (& he's voiced by Christian Bale) The One We Love to Hate: The Gaston Sigh. Gaston could be so great if he wasn’t so bad. He’s a strapping young man for sure but he knows it and uses it to his advantage. Gaston would be the guy that all the contestants love to hang out with, but in the end they’d turn on him for being there for the wrong reasons. The Witty One: Kuzco Kuzco’s jokes are second only to his amazing dance moves. He also has his own kingdom (he is an emperor, after all). He does have a history of being a bit insensitive, but he’s a changed man now. If the Bachelorette has a thing for wit on the dance floor, Kuzco is her man. The Attractive Loose Cannon: Jack Sparrow Ever-elusive Jack Sparrow is not one to be tied down, but it won’t be for the Bachelorette’s lack of interest. He’ll cause a little trouble in the house and be great one one-on-one dates, but eventually, he’ll realize that he belongs out on the open sea. The Serious One: King Triton King Triton isn’t messing around. He’s already experienced enough success for a lifetime (being King of the Sea and everything) and has the abs and the silver fox hair to prove it. That said, his very serious demeanor could be a tad off-putting to a free spirited Bachelorette. Again, this one all comes down to personality… and affinity for the water. more here Disney crushes?

Big Brother "paranoia" now more prescient than it seemed "The Message", the opening track on M.I.A.'s 2010 record ///Y/ caught a lot of flack for lines perceived as politically juvenile: "Headbone connects to the neckbone/ Neckbone connects to the armbone/ Armbone connects to the handbone/ Handbone connects to the internet/ Connected to the Google/ Connected to the government" and "Headbone connected to the headphones/ Headphones connected to the iPhone/ iPhone connected to the internet/ Connected to the Google/ Connected to the government." Now, presumably in light of the recent news about the N.S.A.'s surveillance program, M.I.A. has taken to her Tumblr to revisit the three-year-old criticisms of those lyrics (including ours, which called the song "a bad demo with a simplistic, paranoid rap that's as rhetorically effective as someone in a dorm room ranting about the C.I.A. inventing A.I.D.S."). (Didn't Kanye say the government did that. Did they make fun of him then? hmmm - OP) Other descriptions used for the song include "would-be narcissism and paranoia," "awful/obvious/incoherent," "neither a pleasure to listen to nor think about," "horribly paranoid rant," "unremarkable and... perilously tied to a transient time," "half baked paranoid ramble," "clumsy, ham-fisted" and more. M.I.A.'s Tumblr collage shows that in retrospect, the criticisms of M.I.A.'s politically charged words and alleged paranoia can seem just as silly as her lyrics once might have. Source M.I.A. is the truth.

Bruno Mars is one strong hottie!

Despite his mother's tragic death a couple short weeks ago, the seductive singer got back to business to perform his catchy hit Treasure on The Voice Tuesday night.

And believe us when we say, if Bruno was a treasure chest we'd unlock that key and swim in his gold ALLLLLL day. LOLz!!

Is their any stage he CAN'T dominate???!

What an eargasmic way for the singing competition to end the season!

Ch-ch-check out the AH-mazing performance (above)!!!

Miley Cyrus’s baby sister, Noah Cyrus, shared her devastation over her parents' split via Twitter.

Miley, on the other hand, has seemed to carry on fine by just being Miley!

However, we’re sure Billy Ray and Tish's divorce has been a rough ride for the We Can’t Stop singer no matter how nonchalant she has appeared throughout the whole thing.

We previously heard reports that she’s turned to her fiance, Liam Hemsworth, during this difficult time. That report was visually confirmed when the two were spotted out at a movie together recently, and now sources are dishing more info about both the split and Miley’s relationship with Liam.

A source explained:

“She’s taking it as well as she can. No one wants their parents to end a marriage. Billy Ray and Tish are awesome people and even better parents. Miley’s sad, of course, but that’s between her parents. There’s not much she can do. For sure, [Liam's supporting her]. She’s upset, yes, but she’s an adult and will be fine. She loves both her parents and they will always be in her life.”

We’re happy to hear there won’t be an awkward estrangement situation or anything like that!

And we bet it helps to have a hawt Hunger Games hunk to cuddle up against whenever she’s feeling down.

We sincerely wish her and her family all the best!

Cher broke some startling news last night revealing that her highly anticipated duet with Lady Gaga won't be appearing on her upcoming record because apparently the 'Poker Face' singer isn't a fan. The iconic star admitted that she thought the pair's collaboration is “brilliant” but explained that Gaga isn't quite as enthusiastic about the track even go as far as shutting it down! Cher reveals Lady Gaga wasn't a fan of their duet In a clash of the divas it seems Gaga may have come out on top the 'Believe' hit maker revealed during a live stream interview backstage on the grand finale of the US edition of 'The Voice'. She said: “I did a song with Gaga and I think it's brilliant and I thought her performance was great but she doesn't like it." The Oscar-winning legend revealed some exciting details of her new album, her first in 12 years following 2001's Living Proof which currently has the working title 'Closer To The Truth'. She confirmed Pink's written a song for the record as well as teasing an exciting collaboration with Scissor Sister's front man Jake Shears for the track 'Take It Like A Man'. When asked why it has taken her quite so long to come back to music the 67-year-old had no answers saying: "I don't know. Truthfully, my record company should have drop-kicked my ass a long time ago. "I wasn't doing what they wanted me to do. They said, 'you have to get serious or there isn't going to be any album.'" Cher's new album is expected to be released later this year after fans have waited for 12 years for their hero to return to stage while she performed her comeback single 'Woman's World' on last night's finale of The Voice. source

Jonah Falcon, actor and writer, appeared today on The Howard Stern Show. The interview opens with Stern asking Falcon about his run in with the TSA. Jonah recounts: "It was almost a year to the day. Well, what happened was the body scanner went off. All they did was ask me a bunch of questions. They put this powder on my hands and ran them through this light. The wanted to see if I had any residue from explosives. And, they said 'no.' They frisked me but they just went around it. I don't know why. I just said "that's my cock. Security thought it was an explosive or a cyst." Falcon claims to be bisexual, but that he "mainly just has sex with women." Howard asked which sex he was with last involved with, and Jonah revealed it was with a woman. But, the highlight of the interview came when Chris Rock interrupted it. Out of know where Chris Rock interrupts his interview to chime in that he has a big one, too. Falcon, who just moved out of his parents' house, released a song that he performed on. Classicalite

Literal angel on Earth Mariah Carey with talent show host Nick Cannon Nick Cannon said that he willed his marriage to Mariah Carey "into existence" during his visit to "Late Show." He said he'd always considered Carey his dream girl, and that hasn't changed. The only difference is that now he's living his dream every day. “She’s mommy. She’s no longer Mariah around the house," Cannon said of Carey. "She’s just mommy. So it’s a beautiful thing.” The couple has young twins at home. When asked who runs the house, Cannon declared, "Me, Dave! Come on, man! You know I run it. She may pay the bills, but I run the house!” But nobody really believes that, do they? Things are going great for the couple, who just celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary by renewing their vows at Disneyland. The anniversary coincided with the second birthdays of their twin boys, Moroccan and Monroe. Cannon is doing his party with those bills, too. He's currently hosting "America's Got Talent," Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on NBC, and will head up the return of his improv battles series, "Wild 'N Out," on MTV2 after a five year hiatus.

Lea Michele proves that while some people use Twitter almost exclusively for rants about how people are ugly (*cough Amanda Bynes cough*), some people like to just use it to simply spread the love!

Ch-ch-check out this totally adorbs picture the Glee star posted on Twitter of her bf²! And by that we clearly mean the inseparable combination of her boyfriend, Cory Monteith, and best friend, Jonathan Groff, or as she simply calls them, her “two favorite boys.”

Lea mentioned minutes before on the Twittersphere that she had stopped by to visit bestie Groff on the set of Ryan Murphy’s TV movie, The Normal Heart. Based on the Tony-award winning play, the made for TV movie about the rise of AIDS in 1980s New York has an all star cast, with Jonathan playing the part of Craig.

Lea went on to say that she thinks the flick is “going to be amazing.”

We're like, what will Lea win first: best supporting actress or best supporting friend?

Johnny Depp will ALWAYS be our kemo sabe!

He sat down with Rolling Stone magazine before his new movie The Lone Ranger gallops into theaters on July 3. As you can see, Johnny snapped his cover shot dressed as his character Tonto.

But is this movie going to be one of Johnny's last?!? Maybe his heartbreaking break-up from Vanessa Paradis has Johnny reevaluating what's most important in life. The 50-year-old actor talked about his tattoos, not wearing underwear and what the future may hold for him.

Ch-ch-check out the HIGHlights ...AFTER THE JUMP!!!

ON HIS RETIREMENT

“I think while I’ve got the opportunity and the desire and the creative spark to do the things that I can do right now, I should do them. And then, at a certain point, just take it down to the bare minimum and concentrate on, I guess, living life. Really living life. And going somewhere where you don’t have to be on the run, or sneak in through the kitchen or the underground labyrinth of the hotel. At a certain point, when you get old enough or get a few brain cells back, you realize that, on some level, you lived a life of a fugitive.”

ON HIS VIEW OF THE WORLD

"There's a great part of me that has deep concerns for, let's say, the world, as everyone does. If you're, in any way, sensitive to that stuff and you just keep taking in, taking in, taking in, you'll drive yourself fucking nuts. You start getting into things, like – people are fighting because each one says their god is better than the other. And zillions of fucking people die. Savagely. Horribly. Innocent people. And, I mean, there's no way – you can't take that in as a machine and then spit it out as data that makes sense. You can't do it. So you've got – you've got to protect – I don't know. Protect yourself in a way, like . . .what's it all about, Alfie? Or, ALF! Probably best to go to ALF, actually. What's it all about, ALF? I should play ALF. Fucking fantastic. ALF. Yeah, it should be called ALF: The Stuff You Never Saw."

ON RELAXING

“I don’t know if I can relax. Relax, I can’t do. My brain, on idle, is a bad thing. I just get weird. I mean, not weird. I get, I get antsy.”

ON RIPPING HIS PANTS

“I realized one morning as I was going to a thing my boy had at school – one of those things where, you know, they get up and sing a song? I had to be there at a certain time, and, of course, I was running late and I was reaching back to check and see if I had my wallet and passport and stuff. I always have a passport for some reason. And so I reached back and I thought, ‘Jesus Christ!’ There was this really long tear – and there were no undergarments involved. That’s the general approach. And so, yeah, I just immediately looked for duct tape. I know, it’s pathetic. And then I continue to wear them.”

There may be no bigger character or character actor than Johnny! We sure do hope we keep seeing him star in movies for many years to come.

By the way, his favorite TV show right now? Honey Boo Boo!

Wow. Didn't see this one coming. Although, with the continued stack-up of characters filling the screentime of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, it's little wonder that something would have to give. However, I never would've thought that Mary Jane would be the one to take the bullet first. After Sony's announcement that they'd be steamrolling through two more Spidey films on the heels of the sequel, it looks like "big picture" ideas have come into play and seemingly nudged Shailene Woodley's Mary-Jane Watson out of the picture and into the next one. This comes on the heels of Felicity Jones basically admitting to playing the Black Cat in the film, who is another love interest of Peter Parker's in the comics. The news comes from Entertainment Weekly's latest issue (scan here) with a cover story on DIVERGENT, the YA adaptation that Woodley is starring in. When asked about her feelings on being pushed into the next film, the actress was ever the professional, saying: "Of course I'm bummed. But I am a firm believer in everything happening for a specific reason...Based on the proposed plot, I completely understand the need for holding off on introducing [Mary Jane] until the next film." I think this is probably a smart move. With so many characters filling up the film, it's best to save one of the more integral ones for part 3, especially if SPOILER happens. Mary Jane is such a major part of Spider-Man's life and it would be a shame to have her just shoehorned in with the rest of the massive cast. I know it sounds crazy, but I'm loving the ambition of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN reboot. I didn't care much for the first film, but it seems like they're really going for it, which could be truly great or an epic fail. scr

Noted 30-year old virgin and twice Summer Olympics failed Lolo Jones took to the annoying new Vine video feed to bitch about her U.S. Bobsled team paycheck. Apparently, training to be on a Winter Olympics team isn’t a way to get fat bank account. It really must be tough to learn that spending seven months practicing bobsledding doesn’t earn you the millions like you do being a cop or a plumber or a school teacher. Just wait until Lolo sees how crappy the pay is for taking tennis lessons or being a full-time barfly. Oh, the disappointments in life.

Let the games begin! Josh Hutcherson phoned in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest to share he’ll be playing hoops once again for the 2nd Annual Josh Hutcherson Celebrity Basketball Game benefitting Straight But Not Narrow at the Nike Basketball 3ON3 Tournament in Los Angeles … and what we can expect from the upcoming Hunger Games sequel, Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The 21-year-old actor, who just returned from shooting Paradise Lost alongside Benicio Del Toro in Panama, shared: “I think in [Catching Fire] the story kind of opens up a lot. There’s a lot more interesting plots that start to develop and everything kind of thickens and we sort of just up the overall feel of the movie.” “I mean, we kept the same idea of the first with the whole world,” Josh adds. “But we kind of bumped it up a little and made it a little more immersive, but it’s really great. [And] we stayed true to the book as always.” And along with Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth, Josh revealed we can expect some new faces in the sequel. “We got some amazing actors to come in [like] Philip Seymour Hoffman. It was pretty incredile to work with all these guys.” With the first movie leaving us wondering how Josh’s character, Peeta, and Katniss’ relationship will play out, we had to ask, what can fans expect with their relationship this time around? “I can’t divulge any kind of plot details, but it’s up and down. Katniss and Peeta’s relationship is very complicated. It has a lot of little things that need to be worked out, but it’s good. People, I think, will be very satisfied with it.” And speaking of on-screen relationships, Josh dished on what it’s like to kiss someone for “work.” “I’d say there’s a natural stirring that happens in your body,” the actor laughs. “If you’re in the moment and you’re in the scene, then naturally whatever naturally happens is what’s supposed to happen.” And aside from playing a game on-screen, the actor also has a love for another kind off-screen … the game of basketball! Josh, who is throwing his 2nd Annual Celebrity Basketball game, which benefits Straight But Not Narrow, revealed that although he’s short, he’s still got mad game. “That’s actually one of my strengths on the court is that I’m very underwhelming looking. So when I have any kind of skill, they’re like, ‘Little white kid, he can play basketball? What went wrong there?’” As for the celebrity game, Josh explains that it benefits Straight But Not Narrow,” a charity that “myself and a few of my friends started to help raise awareness amongst the straight and gay communities about being a straight ally to the LGBT community.” To attend the event, which goes down August 9 at LA Live, head to nike3on3.com to buy tickets beginning Wednesday, June 19, at 10 a.m. And for a chance to win a VIP experience with Josh, as well as make a PSA with him for the organization, click here! source

On Sunday, June 16, Showtime's Renaissance melodrama "The Borgias" came to an end after three seasons, which wasn't exactly what creator Neil Jordan wanted. He even wrote a two-hour movie script to wrap up all the character arcs, but Showtime opted not to shoot it. But, as it is, the third and final season closed with Borgia family enemy Caterina Sforza (Gina McKee) defeated; Lucrezia's (Holliday Grainger) husband dead after being run through by the sword of her brother Cesare (Francois Arnaud), who had recently become her incestuous lover; and their father, Rodrigo Borgia (Jeremy Irons), a k a the nefarious Pope Alexander VI plotting to turn the Roman Catholic papacy from an elected office into a monastery. Anyone who followed the recent election of humble, plain-spoken Argentinian Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio to become Pope Francis knows that Borgia failed utterly. "I liked the ending," Arnaud tells Zap2it. "For my character and Lucrezia, there was something very Shakespearean about it. It would have been great to play Cesare until his death. I get the feeling that I still brought Cesare to the Cesare Borgia that is remembered in history, and who we think of when we think of Cesare Borgia. "It was just that incredible journey from innocent little boy to mass murderer, army general, incestuous brother. It was fascinating every step of the way. It's like 20 roles in one." Many fans had long been clamoring for the smoldering attraction between Cesare and Lucrezia to be consummated, incest or not. "At first," says Arnaud, "what shocked me is that Neil always said that he didn't want to go there, and that he personally didn't believe it happened. Those were conversations we had early on in season one. "When I first read it, I went, 'Oh my God, he's going for it.' But I think, dramatically, you can only hint at something for a certain while before you have to actually go there, or you're .... in a movie, maybe it wouldn't have happened, but in a TV series, after three seasons, you have to move on to the next level, at some point. "For our characters, I have to say, I feel like we've been playing that since the very first scene of season one. So it felt like a natural progression of their relationship and not something that was forced. Also, we never thought of anything -- well, Jeremy might have -- but Holliday, me, we never thought of anything as shock value. "It was not just about sex. Even when we shot the sex scenes, those particular sex scenes, it was about a thousand other things than sex. It's about their emotional connection, where they're at, and their relationship, and how she feels about her husband. "It was about so many other things than just about sex." (yes I scribbled out Jeremy Irons. deal with it) Asked what he learned from his stint on "The Borgias," Arnaud says, "I learned a lot about confidence. I really do think that, now, screen acting is 10 percent talent and 10 percent work and 80 percent confidence. You have to be able to show up and do everything, convey power. You have to be so sure of yourself. "That's something I didn't have entirely when I started to do 'The Borgias,' and now I feel confident in my choices. From working with great actors like Jeremy Irons, Gina McKee, Derek Jacobi, Colm Feore, amazing seasoned actors, there's something about not being apologetic for what you bring to the table and just go all the way." As for his next step, Arnaud just returned from filming in Argentina on a movie called "Amapola," described as a "romantic re-imagining" of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," in which he plays a Vietnam-era "draft dodger who goes to Argentina. He's traveling the world. He falls in love with Camilla Belle." camilla belle tho... When reminded that Belle once dated recently hired New England Patriot QB Tim Tebow, Arnaud laughs and says, "We never talked about that." The role has also allowed him to move on from Cesare Borgia's string of dark, long-haired wigs. "I have short blond, curly hair," he says, "just like an angel." (LIKE A GOD TBH) While Arnaud intended to focus on movies after "The Borgias," that resolve is weakening. "Then I started reading scripts," he says, "and the best scripts are for TV. They're just so much better than movie scripts, unless you want to play Superman.' I don't know, I just saw the trailer [for 'Man of Steel,' starring Henry Cavill], and I'm like, 'If you have to be that buff ... it's hard work, and I'm not sure the payoff is worth it." SOURCE still not over it. everything hurts. everything is terrible

Ian Somerhalder is not having a lot of luck with the ladies!

Not that they don't want the seksi Vampire Diaries star- as if! They just want too much from him!

He recently revealed:

"I would be happy if a woman would just go for dinner with me, rather than wanting my babies straight away!"

Dayum! Gurls get forward once they know they've got a vampire on the line!

We understand wanting the man's beautiful babies, but give him at least until after appetizers!

Hmm, we wonder if that's what happened with Nina Dobrev. Is this what Ian meant by people changing? Did Nina suddenly want a baby before the Smolderholder was ready?

Miss America USA Kenya Moore Gets Evicted From Her Atlanta Home

Kenya Moore Gets Evicted From Her Atlanta Home Kenya Moore may have celebrity status but her pockets don’t. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star was recently evicted from her ATL home, according Radar Online. Moore and her landlord Conya Weems have been in a legal dispute regarding unpaid fees. Last month, Weems tried to evict the “Gone With the Wind Fabolous” singer for not paying $848 of her May rent, which led her to default on the terms and conditions of her lease. “The decision to file this eviction notice regarding Ms. Moore was reached after pursuing every possible amicable way to settle this matter privately,” the landlord said in her defense. Kenya denied ever missing a payment and filed a counter suit for wrongful eviction, slander and emotional distress that the judge threw out. The former Miss USA winner didn’t appear in court to hear the final judgement, but we’re going to safely assume, she got the memo. Source

Pregnant Hewitt is battling with Lifetime over the plot line of Season 3, should the network decide to order another season, the website reports. Hewitt, who is an executive producer on "The Client List," has reportedly requested that Kyle (Brian Hallisay, her real-life fiance) be the father of her character Riley's baby, while showrunner Suzanne Martin is gunning for Evan, played by the series’ male lead Colin Egglesfield. “There are many story lines we are exploring,” Hewitt’s rep said. “So any suggestion that we are not doing our best to develop a great season is simply not accurate.” Sunday night marked the Season 2 finale of the Lifetime series, and on Twitter, Hewitt thanked fans for their support and crossed her fingers for a third season. The situation with Hewitt is reportedly holding up a potential Season 3 pickup, but the ratings might also be a factor. The show's numbers slipped a bit in its sophomore season. source I actually like JLH, she is so inoffensive. But, she can't be serious about her demands. I read on deadline that she wants her fiance to be involved in a major arc next season. I think the producers are trying to play dirty by leaking this to the press. The showrunner's suggestion that Evan should be the daddy makes no sense seeing that Riley didn't sleep with Evan.

There’s a new trend in Hollywood where celebrity girls are riding classic looking bikes around town. I’m not sure if it’s some bubbly ode to the environmental movement or it’s because they’re trying to give dirty old men erections, I’m just glad it’s happening. With a reasonable weight limit in place, naturally. Not looking to see Khloe crushing her banana seat.

Kanye West may be a dad now, but that doesn’t mean he’s sensitive to people afflicted with debilitating conditions.

In his song On Sight, Lady Baby Kimye’s papa sings:

"A monster about to come alive again / Soon as I pull up and park the Benz / We get this bitch shaking like Parkinson's / Take my number and lock it in / Indian hair, no moccasins"

Sure, the lines are catchy like fire, but they’re BURNING UP some people who think Yeezy needs to take it EZ.

Kathryn Whitford, vice president of the American Parkinson Disease Association, stated:

"We find these lyrics distasteful and the product of obvious ignorance."

No word yet from Kanye’s kamp, any Indians, or other moccasin wearers.

Yep, you read that headline correctly. This did in fact happen!

One Direction was given a candy thong during their Ohio concert the other night and much to the amusement of their audience, knew exactly what to do with it.

Harry Styles immediately put on the piece of faux underwear and walked over to Zayn Malik for a quick bite! Looks like this one has a bit of a sweet tooth.

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the men behind the Dolce&Gabbana brand, have been found guilty of tax evasion and sentenced to 20 months in jail. The Milan court just handed down the sentence Wednesday morning. Dolce and Gabbana failed to declare 1 billion ($1.3 billion in U.S. dollars) in income to authorities.

Dolce and Gabbana have denied the charges. However, prosecutors argued that they used a Luxembourg-based company to hide substantial earnings, in order to avoid paying taxes in Italy.

In addition to founding the fashion label which has become a celebrity favorite, Dolce and Gabbana also serve as the brand’s head designers. It’s unclear who will be in charge while the two are incarcerated.

Chris Brown has entered the contentious debate over healthcare by declaring on Twitter that everyone should have free access to medical care. This comes on the heels of him ending the multi-generational war between the Bloods and the Crips in his latest music video, Don’t Think They Know. It makes sense that Brown would be interested in affordable healthcare. Not because he’s a humanitarian but because when he puts someone in the hospital through his cowardly acts of aggression, he doesn’t want to have to pay for it. When he beat Rihanna into the ER a few years ago it probably cost quite a bit of money to treat her wounds and pay for the cat scan to check for cerebral bleeding. He doesn’t want to get sent a $10K hospital bill the next time he gets in a bottle throwing fight with someone from Drake’s entourage. Let Obama pay for that shit. Or, you know, wherever it is Obama gets the money. Chris Brown doesn’t have time to drill down on policy, he needs to focus on his art.

Fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were found guilty of tax evasion. A Milan court ruled on the case this morning. The designing duo have been hiding hundreds of millions of euros from the tax authorities according to reports. The case dates back to 2004. They sold their brand to Gado, a Luxembourg-based holding company, to allegedly avoid declaring taxes on royalties of about 1 billion euros ( equals about $1.3 billion). Prosecutor Gaetano Ruta explains, “”Gado was 80 percent controlled by D&G srl which was owned 50 percent each by Dolce and Gabbana.” Both deny any wrongdoing and were not present in court. Reps have not made any statements yet. Source UPDATE: The judge sentenced them to prison. The breakdown of their appeal and jail time is here: The Beauty Stop

Earlier, I covered Serena Williams’ comments to Rolling Stone regarding the Steubenville rape case. I noticed that some of you blamed the journalist for asking Serena about the case, but in the RS excerpt (via Deadspin), it sounds like Serena offered up her victim-blaming thoughts out of thin air, unprompted. In any case, I’m not sure the “why did a journalist ask her about it?” debate will really go anywhere. To recap, here’s what Serena said:

We watch the news for a while, and the infamous Steubenville rape case flashes on the TV—two high school football players raped a 16-year-old, while other students watched and texted details of the crime. Serena just shakes her head.

“Do you think it was fair, what they got? They did something stupid, but I don’t know. I’m not blaming the girl, but if you’re a 16-year-old and you’re drunk like that, your parents should teach you: don’t take drinks from other people. She’s 16, why was she that drunk where she doesn’t remember? It could have been much worse. She’s lucky. Obviously I don’t know, maybe she wasn’t a virgin, but she shouldn’t have put herself in that position, unless they slipped her something, then that’s different.”

[Rolling Stone via Deadspin]

As you imagine, the outcry has been immediate and ferocious. So Serena had to issue an apology not even 24 hours after Deadspin’s article was published. Here’s her statement:

“What happened in Steubenville was a real shock for me. I was deeply saddened. For someone to be raped, and at only sixteen, is such a horrible tragedy! For both families involved — that of the rape victim and of the accused. I am currently reaching out to the girl’s family to let her know that I am deeply sorry for what was written in the Rolling Stone article. What was written — what I supposedly said — is insensitive and hurtful, and I by no means would say or insinuate that she was at all to blame.

I have fought all of my career for women’s equality, women’s equal rights, respect in their fields — anything I could do to support women I have done. My prayers and support always goes out to the rape victim. In this case, most especially, to an innocent sixteen year old child.”

[From Serena’s blog]

No, seriously, what the sh-t? Could Serena TRY to be even more offensive than she was originally? Could she deliberately parse her words and try to blame the Rolling Stone writer any harder? FFS, I don’t get how this is a “tragedy” for the families of those rapists, especially not ON THE SAME LEVEL as the rape victim’s tragedy. And “what I supposedly said” – yeah, I hope RS releases the tape. I think the worst part is this: “I by no means would say or insinuate that she was at all to blame.” Except that she did exactly that.

Talks working with Celine Dion and Jay-Z: "I heard some of the new stuff. It's amazing. With Jay-Z it's hard not to be amazing" Ne-Yo may be one of the busiest musicians in 2013. From supporting his late 2012 release "R.E.D.," his David Guetta/Akon single "Play Hard," signing new acts as an A&R rep at Motown, guesting on Ciara's new "Body Party" remix and contributing material to new albums from superstar acts like Beyonce, Jay-Z and Celine Dion, he's got his hands full. He gave Billboard an update Tuesday afternoon during an interview in New York to promote his latest project, a new single called "It's All Good" for Unilever's Fruttare ice cream bars. "I'm still putting stuff together for Beyonce's album," he said. "They're still trying to figure out what they want that to be, which I'm not mad at. Beyonce's the kind of artist where you're not gonna see it till it's right. And her fans -- they love her so they'll be patient." Beyonce has been hard at work on her fifth album ever since secret songwriting sessions began last summer in the Hamptons, where writers and producers like Ryan Tedder, The-Dream, Greg Kurstin, Sia and others stayed for over a week to write and collaborate on potential tracks. Though no official single has yet to be released, snippets of songs like "Grown Woman" and "Standing On The Sun" have premiered in ads for Pepsi and H&M, respectively, while another Sia track "Rise Up" recently appeared on the soundtrack for animated movie "Epic." Ne-Yo and Beyonce are best known for making magic with 2007's Hot 100 No. 1 "Irreplacable." Ne-Yo's also waiting to see if his contributions to Jay-Z's just-announced "Magna Carta Holy Grail" will make the cut for the July 4 release. "The thing about Jay is again you don't know until it's done," he said. "I went in, I did a session where I laid down a couple hooks but I have no idea what's going to be kept. I heard some of the new stuff. It's amazing. With Jay-Z it's hard not to be amazing." Hova's off-script approach to writing inspired Ne-Yo, who co-wrote "It's All Good" using inspiration from tweets and Instagrams. "I'm trying to escape the shackles of a pen and a pad," he said. "I've sat in sessions with Jay-Z where he doesn't write anything down. He'll come up with the most incredible triple entendre all in his head -- it's amazing. That was the main thing that attracted me was just trying something new, which could be a new revenue stream in that regard." Ne-Yo is also still actively working on Celine Dion's still-unscheduled upcoming album, for which they've already recorded a cover of Adele and Daniel Merriweather's "Water And A Flame" and contributed other tracks for more than a year now. "I'm still writing for her," he says. "I just recently got a call to do some more songs, so I know she's doing some more work." And then there's his own next album, which is still in the conceptual phase but will likely be "predominantly R&B," he says. His latest top 10 on the Hot 100 was the Sia-penned "Let Me Love You," a four-on-the-floor dance ballad that overshadowed the performance of "R.E.D."'s R&B-leaning singles like "Lazy Love" and "Jealous," both of which failed to crack top 40. "I'm really excited about what's happening in R&B right now," he says. "I want to see what my place is in the whole thing. That's not to say I'm abandoning the EDM genre. I've gotten so much unimaginable love from that fanbase and that genre. It's really rare that an entire genre of music allows an artist from a different genre to come and live there. By no means am I abandoning that, but I definitely know I need to take care of my core -- the thing that got me here in the first place. I don't feel like I've given it the attention it deserves."

Kim Kardashian took the cover of this week’s People Mag. I was actually half-expecting to see the first baby photos this quickly, which is why I kept refreshing the People main page. Alas, People Mag didn’t get exclusive photos, nor did they get an exclusive on the name. I’m really surprised we haven’t gotten a confirmation on the name by now, but it’s looking like Kaidence Donda West might be on-target. The Mirror reports that a nurse at Cedar-Sinai might have leaked the “Kaidence” name. But! People Mag did got some other interesting exclusives, like details about how Kim went into premature labor:

Leave it to a Kardashian girl to make a dramatic entrance! That’s exactly what happened when Kim Kardashian, 32, delivered a daughter roughly three weeks early.

With exclusive interviews with members of the couple’s innermost circle, this week’s PEOPLE cover story looks inside the emotional, harrowing night Kardashian and her boyfriend of 16 months, Kanye West, 36, spent at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles awaiting the birth of their firstborn.

Admitted June 14 due to complications, Kardashian – whom sources confirm was about 37 weeks pregnant – went into premature labor.

West, meanwhile, who’d returned from promoting his new album Yeezus in Europe just hours before, rushed to her side.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was experiencing severe swelling, which can be a sign of the potentially dangerous condition called preeclampsia. Although it hasn’t been confirmed whether or not Kim was suffering from preeclampsia, which is pregnancy-induced high blood pressure, the condition can be potentially dangerous. Left untreated, preeclampsia can lead to a stroke. The only cure for the dangerous condition is to deliver the baby early.

By the next day, Kardashian had given birth to a girl, “the prettiest, tiniest thing with a full head of straight, dark hair, a cute little nose and Kim’s lips,” says one of several close friends who visited her over the weekend. “She’s already smiling!” Though she’s been spending time in an incubator to regulate her body temperature, a standard course of treatment for premature babies, Baby K – whose parents have nearly decided on a name – is “doing very well,” says a hospital source.

Although the pregnancy complications would have been emotionally taxing on anyone, those closest to her reveal how well Kim handled the high stress.

“I don’t think she was scared. She was just ready,” one of Kim’s friends told People magazine.

“This was a lot to go through,” pal Robin Antin said. “I’m sure she was exhausted, but she handled it like a pro.”

As for West and Kardashian, who’d been dogged by rumors about their relationship in the months leading up to the birth, the new parents are over the moon.

[From People & Hollywood Life]

Many of you thought she might have preeclampsia too, especially with the way she was swelling up in the last month of her pregnancy. While I’m curious about the birth details and whether or not her labor was induced, it’s her business and she doesn’t have to share it if she doesn’t want to. All I ask is that she not flat-out lie about it (which she’s been known to do about personal issues). And the whole “now she’s saying she was three weeks early” sounds a lot more realistic than “she was five weeks early”. She was due in July, and I think the baby came early, but not THAT early.

A lock of Mick Jagger's hair is to be auctioned at Bonhams in London. The clutch of The Rolling Stones' frontman's hair is being sold by Chrissie Shrimpton, the younger sister of Jean Shrimpton - Jagger's model ex-girlfriend. According to Bonhams' website, the lock of hair was "saved by her grandmother when Mick and Chrissie were staying at her parents' farm. Apparently, on her grandmother's death, the hair passed to Chrissie's aunt and when she died, the hair was returned to Chrissie by a cousin taking care of personal effects." Bonhams expects the hair to fetch between £1,500-£2,000 with all proceeds going to the Changing Faces charity. The hair will come with a slip of paper with "Mick Jagger's hair after being washed + trimmed by Chris at Rose Hill Farm" written on it. ontd, would you want a famous person's hair? SOURCE & SOURCE

The top prize on The Voice went to Danielle Bradbery on Tuesday night! Look how adorbs she is!!!

Danielle was a little shaken up immediately following Carson Daly calling her name as the winner. She exclaimed on stage:

"I don't even know right now. I'm so thankful. I'm sorry … I'm speechless."

Don't worry, Danielle. You're the champ because you can sing, not give acceptance speeches!

The new winner also had a thank you message to her coach, Blake Shelton, who has now won 3 of the 4 seasons on The Voice. Danielle told Blake:

"You're an amazing coach and you're an amazing person. You taught me so much and I'm so thankful to have you in my life and I love you so much."

Second place went to geektastic rock-chick, Michelle Chamuel and third place was taken by the Swon Brothers, who despite not winning the competition, already have some chart-toppers on iTunes.

Ch-ch-check out Danielle's AH-Mazing live performance with country music heartthrob Hunter Hayes (below). The song is called I Want Crazy. Well, crazy sounds fine but WE want more Danielle and Hunter! There is some UNDENIABLE chemistry between these two!

High five gurrrrl! We know you've got a BRIGHT future ahead of you.

Serena Williams was the target of a lot of rage online (including some from me) yesterday in response to a quote from her Rolling Stone profile in which she blames the 16-year-old victim in last year’s Steubenville rape case. In a not-so-shocking move, Williams has released a statement on her own website.

What happened in Steubenville was a real shock for me. I was deeply saddened. For someone to be raped, and at only sixteen, is such a horrible tragedy! For both families involved – that of the rape victim and of the accused. I am currently reaching out to the girl’s family to let her know that I am deeply sorry for what was written in the Rolling Stone article. What was written – what I supposedly said – is insensitive and hurtful, and I by no means would say or insinuate that she was at all to blame.

I have fought all of my career for women’s equality, women’s equal rights, respect in their fields – anything I could do to support women I have done. My prayers and support always goes out to the rape victim. In this case, most especially, to an innocent sixteen year old child.

Williams isn’t apologizing for what she said, she’s flat out denying it. This is an interesting PR move, given that I highly doubt Rolling Stone would print Williams’ quote unless she was on tape saying it. So how will RS defend itself? The proverbial (tennis) ball is in their court.

 

Kristen Wiig put on quite a show on Tuesday when she arrived at the Champs Elysees Film Festival in this ’60s-esque zig-zag dress. The black-and-white ensemble was a nice touch for the famous funny lady, who was there to promote her new movie, “Girl Most Likely,” with Darren Criss. No word yet on who the designer was, but good on ya, whoever you are. (See more photos in the gallery, above.)

Not a fan of fashion? Well, if you still love Wiig, you can always just watch her in the Anchorman 2 trailer here. It’s pretty funny.

Cable news is probably one of the worst things in the world, behind cancer and blog posts about things that remind you of the 90s, and that’s why we’re lucky, for once, to have a guy like Russell Brand fuck with the system. Brand was on Morning Joe on Monday to talk about his show, Brand X, and comedy tour, but you’d hardly know that from watching this video because the hosts of the show were complete, unprofessional dicks to him.

Love him or hate him, Brand kept his cool and took these dipshits to task on their behaviors and attitudes in what is probably the best TV clip you’ll watch this year.

What better way to celebrate the beginning of Full Figured Fashion Week (and cleanse your palette after Sunday night’s Miss USA pageant ridiculousness) than with a documentary about plus-size beauty queens? “There She Is” stars two friends, Allison and Jenny, who love everything about beauty pageants: the makeup, the hair, the costumes, the glitter But unlike the women who compete in Miss USA and Miss America pageants, Allison and Jenny are both a size 22. Filmmakers Emily Sheskin and Veena Rao follow the two plus-size women as they compete in the American Beauties Plus Pageant for women sizes 14 and up who push the boundaries of what is considered “beautiful” by our mainstream culture. Plus, “There She Is” is only 20 minutes long — hooray for short attention spans! — and you can watch the entire movie online. Normally I think all things pageant-related are cheesy at best and repulsive at worse. However, “There She Is” got me to question whether pushing for inclusivity at pageants, rather than abolishing them entirely, might be a better option. Pageants are not going to ever go away. Women and girls competing against each other over their beauty is problematic, but there will always be some women — lesbians, women with alopecia, autistic women — for whom being included in a beauty pageant is akin to a radical act. What do you think ONTD? Do you care about Full Figured Fashion Week? Do you think it's important to have plus size pageants? SOURCE

Radar Online has put out information from Paula Deen's deposition that has revealed SHOCKING details about the well known southern cook Paula Deen.

"Celebrity chef Paula Deen has admitted to using the N-word and telling insensitive racial jokes during a May 17 deposition that was videotaped — and also confessed to her brother’s cocaine, pornography and alcohol addictions!

Paula, 66, admitted to using the N-word and wanting black waiters to play the role of slaves at a wedding party she was putting together, a new bombshell report from the National Enquirer claims.

“The personal disclosures uncovered have stunned Paula’s family and could mark the collapse of her entire empire,” a source told the tabloid."

The Emmy-winning kitchen queen was questioned for three hours because of the $1.2 million 2012 lawsuit in which the former General Manager of their Savannah, Georgia, restaurant, Lisa Jackson, claimed use of the N-word by Paula and sexual harassment and infliction of distress and assault by her brother Bubba Hiers.

When asked by Lisa’s Atlanta-based attorney if she’d ever used the N-word, Paula responded, “Yes, of course,” and gave examples of times she used the offensive term.

In terms of telling racist jokes, Paula said, “It’s just what they are — they’re jokes…most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks…I can’t determine what offends another person.”

And when asked if she wanted black men to play the role of slaves at a wedding she explained she got the idea from a restaurant her husband and her had dined at saying, “The whole entire waiter staff was middle-aged black men, and they had on beautiful white jackets with a black bow tie.

“I mean, it was really impressive. That restaurant represented a certain era in America…after the Civil War, during the Civil War, before the Civil War…It was not only black men, it was black women…I would say they were slaves.

During the deposition, Bubba also made shocking admissions, including using the N-word in reference to President Barack Obama.

“While Paula and Bubba did make some pretty damaging confessions in their depositions, what they admitted to only scratches the surface of what actually goes on in their daily lives,” an insider told the Enquirer.

To find out more about Paula and Bubba’s disturbing deposition, pick up the latest issue of the National Enquirer, on newsstands Thursday.

Dennis Rodman's infamously awkward interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week" last March, the one where he seemed to be defending his new BFF, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, all sprang from the season finale of HBO's "Vice," which airs Friday on the cable network. "The Hermit Kingdom: Basketball Diplomacy" is the installment viewers of the controversial show have been anticipating since the documentary series premiered in April, and, as the clips below preview, the episode does not disappoint.

"Vice" correspondent Ryan Duffy and three members of the Harlem Globetrotters head off to North Korea, where they've planned an exhibition game against North Korean athletes. Even more surreal than that unlikely matchup and the trip itself: the sight of Kim Jong Un sitting beside wacky NBA Hall of Fame player Rodman.

Later, the Americans head off to a lunch meeting with the North Korean hoopsters, where, after Duffy and one of the Globetrotters marvel at the snake-filled glass jar of hooch outside the lunch space, Duffy interacts with some of his basketball opponents, who, unsurprisingly, have nothing but praise for "the Marshall," Kim Jong Un.

Under tight North Korean security, Duffy and company are also given tours of various locales in the country, including a mall, an aquarium, and a computer lab where rows of people are sitting silently in front of monitors, with no typing or interaction of any kind happening.

The series, which Rolling Stone says is "meant to 'punch you in the face' with harsh international realities" but "feels a little like your buddy from the bar just happened to be wandering through eastern Afghanistan with a camera crew," has been renewed for a second season on HBO.

The "Vice" season finale airs on HBO Friday at 11 PM. Source

Director Steve McQueen wanted to follow-up his widely acclaimed film Shame with something bigger. Very quickly, he made a deal with Brad Pitt’s Plan B to do a film called 12 Years a Slave. These are the first production stills from the film. Michael Fassbender joined McQueen on this project, making it their third film together. Fassy LOVES McQueen. They are really tight, and Fassbender has alluded to the idea that McQueen is his favorite director to work with. Fassy plays a “cruel” slave owner and farmer named Edwin Epps. Epps terrorizes the lead character, a slave named Solomon, who is played by the criminally underrated actor Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Benedict Cumberbatch is also in the film – he plays William Ford, a Baptist preacher who befriends Solomon. Sarah Paulson plays the wife of Edwin Epps, and the film also features Brad Pitt (in a smaller part), Paul Giamatti, Paul Dano, Dwight Henry, Quvenzhane Wallis and Alfre Woodard. There’s also a newcomer named Lupita Nyongo who is getting a lot of buzz.

The film is based on a true story, and it’s being called “Django Unchained without the comedy”. McQueen told media outlets months ago, “Without Brad, this film wouldn’t have been made. Fact. Just his presence sometimes could lift everyone’s mood. It’s like having a great ballplayer on a team. He doesn’t have to play a big role, but his presence can lift everyone’s game.” McQueen also had some lovely things to say about his muse, Michael Fassbender, who could possibly be up for an Oscar nomination for this role.

I know it’s so wrong, but I’m just obsessed with Fassy’s ginger beard and his period clothing. I know, I know, he’s playing a slave owner and that’s gross. But my God, how can I concentrate on the horrible story when I want to LICK HIS BEARD?

Miss Utah is becoming more famous than Miss USA herself!!!

So much so that she was invited on the Today Show WITH the reigning beauty.

YUP! Marissa Powell completely dropped the flaming baton when asked about wage gaps between men and women during the Miss USA Pageant on Sunday, but she's gone so viral that she was given the opportunity to take another shot at answering what could've very well cost her the crown.

No one could question that America is the land of second chances NOW. LOLz!!!

So how did Marissa answer when she wasn't under the scorching pageant stage's spotlight???!

Ch-ch-check out the interview and find out (above)!!!

Let's just say, even if she did have a few days to think about it, it is VERY CLEAR that gurlfriend knows her shiizzz!

On last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel debuted this Lonely Island-esque music video for “(I Wanna) Channing All Over Your Tatum” by Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx with increasingly bizarre cameos from Olivia Munn, Gabourey Sibide, Miley Cyrus and oh my god is that Matt Damon at the 3:50 mark? Please someone tell me what is going on here.

Looking for the next YA movie sensation? This week, EW offers an exclusive first look at the making of Divergent, based on Veronica Roth’s dystopian YA best-seller. The movie’s set in a futuristic Chicago, and stars one of Hollywood’s fastest-rising young actresses, Shailene Woodley (The Descendants), who’s also snagged the Mary Jane role in the Amazing Spider-Man franchise and the lead in the adaptation of another beloved bestseller, The Fault in Our Stars. As one of her costars, Jai Courtney, puts it, “She’s going to be such a big f - - -ing star.” In the future world of Divergent, society is divided into five factions devoted to particular virtues. But Woodley’s character, Beatrice, is classified as “divergent.” That means she’s suited for more than one faction and, as we later learn, headed for trouble. Beatrice finds an ally — and a love interest — in an instructor named Four, played by Theo James. (You may remember him dying in Lady Mary’s bed in season one of Downton Abbey). On the set, Woodley seemed delighted to find that James also took the possibility of superstardom with a grain of salt. “We’re not into the industry and have separate lives outside of it,” she told EW. “That’s refreshing. I don’t know what I would do if Four was played by someone who cared what he looked like or spent more time in front of the mirror than I do.” Divergent, which is being directed by Neil Burger (Limitless), also stars Kate Winslet, Tony Goldwyn, Zoe Kravitz, Maggie Q, Ashley Judd, Ben Lamb, and a whole crop of fresh new faces. For more on Divergent—including photos and interviews with the cast and director—pick up this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly, on stands Friday, June 21.

Breezy don’t care! He won’t pay a dime!

The graffiti saga continues as Chris Brown now refuses to pay fines for his Los Angeles home’s “artwork.” Following complaints from neighbors given the musician’s spray-painted mural, Chris was asked by the city of Los Angeles to remove the graffiti or pay some major mula, but he isn’t having any of it.

Instead, he's decided to fight back by filing an appeal. Claiming that the graffiti “[enhances] the architectural and aesthetic features of the residential property”, the legal documents state that the infringement goes so far as breaking his First Amendment rights:

"The murals are a reflection of [my] aesthetic taste and a reflection of free speech and expression protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution."

YIKES! That’s one serious claim!

The case, currently being dealt with by the Dept. of Building and Safety’s board of appeals, could be brought to LA County Superior Court if not taken care of quickly!

Uh oh!

Used to be a fashion commandment: "No brown in town." And so businessmen would robotically wear gray or navy every day. Well, that rule, like a lot of rules, has been wadded up and tossed out the office window. Here, Danish badass Mads Mikkelsen shows why a suit in tobacco, copper, or coffee has gone from kinda stuffy to totally cutting-edge. Have We All Gone Mads? Mads Mikkelsen has a different take on Hannibal Lecter than the rest of us. Whereas we see a sociopath who, you know, eats people, he just sees a sophisticated dude living his best life. "He's actually one of the more positive characters I've ever played," says Mikkelsen, the latest actor to portray the iconic killer, this time for NBC's lush, surprisingly well-done drama series Hannibal. "He's not haunted by anything. He loves everything that's beautiful about life—food, wine, fine art." It's not that Mikkelsen likes Lecter—he just thinks it's his actorly duty "to find the good in a bad guy." Mikkelsen has had a lot of practice at that. Here in America, his very Scandinavian features—icy gaze, preposterous cheekbones—make "scary guy" job offers fall from the sky. (He was the bloody-teardrop villain in Casino Royale.) But back home in Denmark, Mikkelsen (his first name, a variation on Matthew, is pronounced mahs) tends to get cast as an Everyman, like the kindergarten teacher wrongly accused of pedophilia whom he plays in The Hunt. Over there, women's magazines have repeatedly crowned him the country's sexiest man. Why do they see killer looks and we just see a killer? "Let's attribute it to the funny accent," he says. Oh yeah, sure, it's totally the accent.—Taffy Brodesser-Akner Your Gray Suit Should Watch Its Back ...because brown has a lot to recommend it, from its Continental airs (in Europe, this color never went out of style) to the freshness of its appeal (not every Tom, Dick, and Harry has one just yet). Suit, $1,325, shirt, $325, and tie, $225 by Dolce & Gabbana. Tie bar by The Tie Bar. Pocket square by Brunello Cucinelli. Watch by IWC. Socks by Falke. Shoes by Ralph Lauren.

Denise Richards fully appreciates the special expertise she brings to her role as mother of a suspected teen-killer in the Hannibal-lite teen series Twisted. In it, Canadian-born Avan Jogia plays Danny, who'd been convicted at 11 of killing his aunt, and who is released from juvenile detention at 16 to a school full of former classmates and a waiting media horde. (A very American situation, since the Young Offenders Act in Canada would eliminate the media's role). Richards plays Karen, his social-climbing-mom-turned-pariah, trying to deal with a second chance at motherhood. Meanwhile, ex-friends of Danny continue to wrestle with post-traumatic-stress disorder. In short, it is the story of someone with all eyes on him, and expectations of freakishness (the kids nickname him "Socio"). And then another murder happens. "When the script came, I wasn't expecting it to read the way it did, because it was ABC Family," says Richards (the show airs in Canada on the similarly targeted ABC Spark). "I thought it would be a little more conservative and so when I started reading it I was very intrigued." Being somewhat familiar with unwanted attention (she is the ex-Mrs. Charlie Sheen, after all), Richards and Jogia conferred over Danny's situation. "We've both talked about it," she says. "Obviously, we've never gone through what these characters have gone through. But I can obviously relate as a mom and also with being scrutinized and having things said and negativity, I'm familiar with that part of it. "The writers have given us very rich characters, and I think there's always a little bit of yourself in each character you play as an actor. Avan and I have had a lot of scenes together, and there's a lot of tension between the two characters. She's very hands-on, and is now trying to figure out her way as a mom." Said mom is different from Richards in at least a couple of ways. First, Richards has daughters, no boys. And to date, none of them has been convicted of murder. How did she relate on those counts? "Well, it's true I do have three daughters. But I also have three nephews, and one of them is close to this character's age. But you know, I've been through something traumatic more than once in my life. And you use your own traumas to play a character who's going through trauma." The series began last week focused on the high schoolers, with adults more or less on the periphery. "In the first episode they're trying to establish everyone," Richards says. "But it's an ensemble. So one character's more prominent than the others from episode to episode. With each episode there are things that are revealed and a lot of surprises. "They definitely don't telegraph what's coming up. We're as excited to get each script as anybody. There are a lot of unexpected twists, which is the whole show in a nutshell. It's why the title is so perfect." Richards started young and now finds herself playing opposite a cast of young unknowns. She admits she does think about what's ahead of them. "When we're shooting the show, we're kind of in a bubble. But if people like the show, their lives could change. If they were to ask my advice, I'd say, 'Don't take things personally if people write or say stuff about you. "It's personal, it's public and you're human. And you need a thick skin. That was the biggest thing I learned. Keep the outside stuff outside." source

John Mayer and Taylor Swift had a thing several years ago. It was after he and Jennifer Aniston were done, and I personally believe that Taylor was the one pursuing John. I think John and Taylor dated quietly for months before it ended, because it always ends and almost always it’s the guy who dumps Swifty. So, John Mayer broke Taylor Swift’s heart and of course what happened next was inevitable: she wrote a song about it. She wrote “Dear John” which is basically like a F-U to Mayer being a d-bag. Mayer discussed Taylor’s diss in a Rolling Stone interview, saying that Swifty had “humiliated” him and “It made me feel terrible. Because I didn’t deserve it. I’m pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do.” Swifty later slammed John again, saying she never discusses WHO her songs are about. Which is so dumb.

Personally, I believe several songs on Taylor’s latest album are also about Mayer (I think a big part of “I Knew You Were Trouble” is about Mayer), but sure, she never discusses it. But two can play that game! John just released his new video/single for “Paper Doll”. The song is pretty-ish, it’s one of John’s sad little ballads. But many claim the lyrics are about his thing with Swifty. Also: the video features Joanna Rohrback, the “Prancercise” lady.

Lyric analysts claim that the line “You’re like 22 girls in one” is a reference to Swift’s song “22”. And John repeats the word “red” which is the name of Swift’s last album. But I think most importantly, the song seems to about a girl who is very immature and scattered (in the love department). And that seems to be dead-on. Plus, I think the Prancercise lady is dressed like Swifty. No joke.

Rihanna seems to have Found Love in a hopeless mic smash!!!

Rihanna was performing We Found Love at her Birmingham concert, just one of her many stops during her Diamonds world tour.

She stepped down off the stage during the middle of her performance to grace fans with her magical touch, and then WHAM!! Out of NOWHERE, she totes smacks a fan in the face with her mic!!

You can even HEAR the thunk!!

We’re sure something must’ve happened to cause RiRi to lash out like this, but we have no idea what prompted the blow!!!

Watch a video of it below, and a slow motion version after that... AFTER THE JUMP!!!

At normal speed:

Slow-mo:

Tuesday’s episode of ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars featured a bird, a new self-defense instructor, a rejection letter, pain medication and some dirty Manolo Blaniks.

Seems completely random, I know, but somehow all of these things are related to our bigger mysteries of “A” and Alison’s (Sasha Pieterse) murder? How exactly? That’s not too clear yet, but as it is only the second episode of this addictive drama’s fourth season, there is much yet to come and decipher.

Let’s get to it.

Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t seen Tuesday’s episode, “Turn of the Shoe.”

Who would have thought that a bird, of all things, would be providing some of the answers on PLL? Certainly not me but on this show, anything is possible.

So following a conversation with Mrs. DiLaurentis (Andrea Parker) about Ali’s last summer alive – in which we see Ali’s manipulation at work via flashback – Hanna (Ashley Benson) becomes the proud owner of a clue giving bird named Tibby. Seems this gray-feathered parrot of Ali’s spent more time with her that summer than most people did and sounds just like her.

Of course, by episode’s end, “A” has released the bird but not before detective Spencer (Troian Bellisario) realizes the tune she’s been singing all day is a phone number. Could this be a major clue to who killed Ali? And is “board shorts,” Detective Wilden (Bryce Johnson)?

And while Spencer is a great detective when it comes to all things “A” related, her intelligence doesn’t seem to be enough for dream school/Hastings alma mater, UPenn as she receives a rejection letter from school. Upset and unwilling to share this information with her friends and family, she works with Ezra (Ian Harding) on her college essay. He thinks her honesty about what she’s been through may put a damper on all of her academic achievements and suggests lightening up. Though my real question from this storyline — Why is Ezra alone with a student on a Saturday at school? I know it’s just Spencer, but jeez Ezra, didn’t you learn your lesson?

Though it appears Aria (Lucy Hale) certainly hasn’t. Taking up private self-defense lessons to protect herself from “A,” she plants a kiss on her new and hot instructor Jake (Ryan Guzman) mid-lesson on her very FIRST lesson. She runs away embarrassed but he later shows up at her house to let her know that he is – of course – interested and they should get coffee. Also, was Aria seriously wearing wedge sneakers during this lesson or was I seeing things?

Meanwhile, Spencer’s other half, Toby (Keegan Allen) reveals to her that he gave up the RV of secrets to “A” in exchange for information about his mother’s death. A sad scene, we learn that she supposedly committed suicide. Though “A’s” information leads Toby to believe that this is not the case. The former “A” team member seems determined to find out the truth.

Keeping with the current PLL trend of one set of Liar parents per episode, this week Ashley Marin (Laura Leighton) made her return from New York. The Marin matriarch is looking pretty suspicious during the episode, after we learn that a set of footprints at the scene of Wilden’s murder belong to a pair of high heels and she happens to throw away a destroyed pair of Manolos. Uh-Oh Ms. Marin, do you have a confession to make?

Lastly, Emily (Shay Mitchell) has a rough go at things on “Turn of the Shoe” after she seriously injures her shoulder saving Aria and Mona (Janel Parrish) from a car driven by “A.” The injury forces the swimming star to self-medicate and in turn causes her to black out during her meet and hit her head. The accident looks touch and go for a second, but Emily is recovering at home by episode’s end. With possible “A” team member, Shana (Aerial Miranda), gunning for the only open spot on Stanford’s swim team alongside Paige (Lindsay Shaw), Em has some stiff competition.

Buzz Moments

OMG: Though nothing particularly gasp-worthy happened on “Turn of the Shoe,” I was surprised that Emily recovered so quickly from her head injury. I thought for sure we’d see her in the hospital.

Thank you, TV gods.: For Spencer’s French fry/mozzarella stick map. Hilarious and amazing.

Awk-ward: Awkwardness was all around on this episode but did anyone else cringe at Spence and Toby’s weird hug after he was crying? It was so strange.

Hotness: Helloooo Jake!

Fab-u-lous: While I could have done without the bottom half of Hanna’s leggings and jacket combo, I loved her coral moto jacket, which thanks to Possessionista I found out was from Free People.

Can. Not. Wait.: For Caleb and Jason to get back! I miss them!

Celebuzz (1-10): 7. This episode was par for the course after the stellar season premiere. Just enough information revealed to keep you coming back while adding more questions to this season’s big mysteries.

So PLL fans, what did you think about “Turn of the Shoe”? Do you think Ms. Marin had something to do with Wilden’s death? How do you feel about Aria’s new love interest? Let us know in the comments below!

Cher is 67-years old. Yet there she was last night on The Voice finale dressed like a stripper in Thunderdome. I’m not trying to say that a woman her age can’t still perform live music and be a good entertainer, but know your audience, Cher. Do you think that if dance music fans have a choice between watching the woman three years shy of 70 or Paris Hilton perform they’ll pick the former?

Trick question – they fire a ton of napalm on the venue and get their faces carved on Mount Rushmore.

If you’re coming to Los Angeles and want to experience Hollywood in all its party glory, you shoud skip the tourist attractions and go right to the cool stuff.

To help you enjoy The Best Night Ever in one of the most exciting destinations in the world, we’ve got Arielle Kebbel from The Vampire Diaries who is here to share her fave hotel nightspots, amazing restaurants and scenic hikes in the City of Angels. Where else are you going to find a cool insiders guide from one of the hottest young actresses in town?

Mila Kunis out and about in North London (6/16) Being hot has its perks. TMZ says Charlie Sheen wants producers of his show Anger Management to shitcan that bitch Selma Blair and bring in Mila Kunis for a multi-episode… …read full story

Radar had an interesting Jolie-Pitt story yesterday which I thought was going to be some kind of “definitive proof” of when Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s relationship really began. But it’s not. The story is complicated, but one of Angelina’s friends – a woman named Eunice Huthart – is suing The Sun because she was hacked. The hacked phone calls and messages were in March and April of 2005, when Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston had already separated, and Jennifer filed for divorce in that time frame too. And is it really a big secret in retrospect that Brad and Angelina were boning then? No, it’s not. But the hacking stuff is really interesting:

A former Hollywood stunt double has sued News Corp and its subsidiary News International, accusing the companies of ordering the hacking of her phone. The suit, the first such claim from the US, was filed by Eunice Huthart, a British former double for Hollywood star Angelina Jolie.

In the suit, the Liverpool resident alleges messages from family, friends and Ms Jolie were intercepted and in some cases deleted. News Corp declined to comment.

In a civil complaint filed on 13 June, Ms Huthart seeks damages for violations of federal and California laws and “intrusion into private affairs”. According to IMDB, Ms Huthart worked as Ms Jolie’s stunt double on the films Wanted, Mr and Mrs Smith, and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.

In the court filing, she describes herself as a close friend of Ms Jolie, and says the pair “often travelled and socialized together”. Ms Huthart said that in 2004-05, some friends and relatives complained she had not returned their phone calls, and she in turn complained to her mobile phone provider that voice messages were being lost in their system. She said Ms Jolie left messages concerning travel arrangements and other plans, which Ms Huthart never received.

She added that her daughter left messages complaining about bullying in school in Liverpool, which she also never received – rendering her unable to console her daughter. Ms Huthart said her husband had also criticised her for not responding to his messages.

Ms Huthart says her name, telephone number and other private information appeared in the notes of Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator who worked for News Corp’s News of the World and was jailed in January 2007 for unlawfully intercepting voicemail messages received by royal aides.

Ms Huthart “believes that they were hacking her cellular telephone as a means to obtain information about Ms Jolie”, says the court filing.

According to the suit, The Sun newspaper published several news stories based on information illicitly obtained from Ms Huthart’s mobile phone messages. Revelations about phone hacking in the UK led News Corp boss Rupert Murdoch to close the News of the World newspaper in July 2011. The investigation into phone hacking claims and payments to public officials for information has led to scores of arrests of journalists, police officers and other public officials.

Among those charged were Rebekah Brooks, a former News International executive, and Andy Coulson, former News of the World editor and ex-communications chief for UK Prime Minister David Cameron. UK police have identified more than 4,000 possible victims of phone hacking included politicians, celebrities, actors, athletes, relatives of dead UK soldiers, and victims of the 7/7 London bombings.

The suit comes days before News Corp is to be split into two companies, one for its entertainment assets and the other for its publishing business. Mr Murdoch is to be chairman of both firms.

[From BBC]

Radar has more details about the specific instances in which Huthart was hacked – in late March, Angelina left a message for Huthart about her travel plans to spend a weekend with Brad, and The Sun got their hands on the details of the trip, and The Sun also knew that Angelina had checked in using the name “Pocahontas”. There was another instance where Huthurt arranged for motorcycle riding lessons for Angelina, and once again, The Sun got the information. You can read more about it here.

This just reminded me of the time in 2010 when Angelina and Brad sued another Murdoch press outlet, The News of the World, for claiming that they had contacted a “divorce lawyer”. The NOTW later settled with the Jolie-Pitts, issuing a public apology and giving a settlement to Brad and Angelina. I bring that up because it seems like Murdoch’s press outlets have a years-long issue with their Brangelina coverage, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if this particular Brangelina thing is a lot bigger than people think.
