  • ‘Top Gun 2’: Val Kilmer Reveals He, Tom Cruise Said ‘Yes’ to the Jets

    Val Kilmer dropped the bomb when he posted that he and Tom Cruise have said “yes” to the making of Top Gun 2s.

    If Kilmer’s Facebook post is truth, Maverick (Tom Cruise) and Iceman (Kilmer) will be back in the skies sometime soon.

    “I just got offered ‪#‎topgun2‬ – not often you get to say “yes” without reading the script…,” Kilmer wrote on Nov. 16 on his official Facebook page.

    The actor was quick to point out that being offered a role isn’t the same as actually doing it. There’s are doubts that the much-anticipated Top Gun sequel is even happening, but that doesn’t keep fans of the 80s classic film from getting excited.

    “This is a long way off so calm down. This has been talked about for a long, long time and being offered a role is very different from doing a role. I jumped the gun with my post. I jumped the topgun… An innocent mistake. It was just such a wonderful phone call with my agent…,” he said, as reported by TV Guide.

    I just got offered #topgun2 – not often you get to say "yes" without reading the script…"It's starring Gene…

    Posted by Val Kilmer on Monday, November 16, 2015

    Fans posting comments noted Kilmer’s health — rumors swirled that the actor is suffering from a brain tumor, which Kilmer denied.

    “I have had treatment and I’m perfectly well,” Kilmer wrote Tuesday. “Don’t believe articles that say ‘a source says.’ If they can’t claim a relationship to me how can u trust they are telling the truth. Even when they do assign a name to whoever they gave 50 bucks to, how does a nurse or a parking attendant gonna know about my personal health,” he replies.

    Only time will tell if the Top Gun 2 jets carrying Val Kilmer and Tom Cruise will take flight. Stay tuned!

  • Joey Feek Captured in Tender, Heartbreaking Photo With Daughters As She Nears the End of Her Life

    Joey Feek has little time left in this life and is determined to spend every moment with those she loves — husband Rory Feek and her three daughters.

    On Sunday, a heartbreaking photo of the courageous country singer surrounded by her darling daughters was posted on Facebook by Rory — enough to break anyone’s heart.

    “Our girls drove up here last night to spend more time with their mom and baby sister,” the dad of three captioned the pic of Joey, 40, flanked by her baby girl Indiana, 20 months, and teenage stepdaughters Heidi and Hopie, as reported by Us Weekly.

    The Joey + Rory singer was diagnosed with stage IV cervical cancer in 2014 and made the decision to halt all treatments last month after chemotherapy was deemed ineffective.

    On Oct. 23, Joey’s husband shared the news and said that his wife was opting to live out her final days with their family.

    “Sometimes there just aren’t enough surgeries — or doctors — or chemotherapies — or prayers,” he wrote on his blog, This Life I live, at the time. “And you have to wipe the tears from your cheeks and say the words that you were hoping to never have to say … Enough.”

    On Nov. 9, Rory wrote that his wife was entering hospice care to share her final days “at peace.”

    “After a series of different medications that didn’t seem to touch the pain — heavy doses of morphine brought Joey sweet relief,” Rory wrote. “I spent the night in the hospital with her last night. Today we are planning to bring her home. The last couple of mornings, I’ve brought Indiana up here to spend time with her mama. Both of their eyes light up the moment they see each other. It’s been beautiful.”

    Joey and Rory were married in 2002, and welcomed their baby girl Indiana in February 2014.

    In a follow-up post on Nov. 12, Rory shared another tender moment in hospice.

    “A walker with wheels and a seat was delivered here yesterday and when we pulled it out for her this morning, Joey just laughed and said, ‘I can’t use that … it’s for old people.’ Then she grabbed the handles and pushed herself out of the room,” Rory shared. “When she reached little Indiana playing with toys on the living room rug, she said, ‘Come on, Indy. Mama will take you for a ride.’ So I helped Indy onto the seat, and Joey pushed her across the living room, through the kitchen, around the island and table, and back to her toys. Indy grinned ear-to-ear and so did we.”

    Our thoughts are with Joey Feek and her family as they appreciate every single moment together.

  • Dixie Chicks to Launch First Major Tour In Nearly a Decade

    The Dixie Chicks are going to hit the road for the first time in nearly a decade.

    According to CBS News, the Grammy-winning group announced the launch of a 40-city-plus tour. Dubbed the “DCX MMXVI World Tour,” the tour will kick off on June 1 in Cincinnati.

    According to the Dixie Chicks’ website, the world wide tour will last through the fall, culminating at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Oct. 10, 2016.

    The Christian Science Monitor reports that the girls originally planned to limit their tour to Europe, but added venues in the United States.
    The Dixie Chicks have been rather silent over the past few years. The trio’s last album, Taking the Long Way, was released in 2006 and garnered a Grammy for album of the year.

    The chicks parted ways and sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire formed their own duo Court Yard Hounds, while Natalie Maines released her debut solo effort in 2013.

    Despite parting ways, the Dixie Chicks are an incredibly successful music group and the highest-selling female group in the US, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.

    Tickets for the U.S. dates of the 2016 Dixie Chicks World Tour will go on sale this Friday.

  • Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt Look Totally Badass In New Posters For ‘Huntsman: Winter’s War’

    Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain and Chris Hemsworth look totally badass in new character posters released for Huntsman: Winter’s War.

    Universal unveiled the four new character posters for spinoff to Snow White and the Huntsman, which features two new faces.

    According to Entertainment Weekly, the new film reunites Chris Hemsworth’s huntsman Eric with Charlize Theron’s evil queen Ravenna. New characters include Jessica Chastain as a great warrior and Emily Blunt as an unstoppable ice queen.

    Kristen Stewart, who played Snow White in the first installment will not appear in the Winter’s War, which takes place before Eric and Ravenna met Snow White. Blunt’s character, Freya, is Ravenna’s sister and has fled their kingdom after a heartbreaking betrayal and locked herself away in an icy palace. But when Freya’s two most beloved huntsmen, Eric and Sara (Chastain), defy her commands and fall in love, she casts them out into the wilderness.

    Years later, Freya learns that Charlize Theron‘s character has been vanquished by Snow White, so she seeks to claim her Magic Mirror, only to find that her sister can be resurrected.

    Things will likely get downright crazy when the two evil sisters amass an army to take out lovebirds. The two huntsmen become the only hope in eliminating the forces of evil.

    Directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, who was visual effects supervisor on the original film, the movie’s trailer will be released on Wednesday and is slated for theaters April 22.

  • Nohemi Gonzalez, U.S. Student Killed In Paris, Remembered As a ‘Beautiful Soul’

    Nohemi Gonzalez, the U.S. student killed in the Paris attack, was remembered by hundreds Sunday as a “beautiful soul.”

    Gonzalez was a 23-year-old Cal State Long Beach who had moved temporarily to Paris to study industrial design as an exchange student.

    Unfortunately, she was one of 18 killed Friday at a sidewalk bistro in Paris, where she and three friends were enjoying dinner. In total 129 were killed in the terrorist attack that stunned the world.

    On Sunday, hundreds gathered at the campus to mourn her death and remember her spirit, described as all at once creative, intelligent, observant and, befitting a designer, a bit playful.

    “Nohemi possessed a character that was truly rare,” Martin Herman, chairman of the university’s design department, told the crowd in the student union.

    “What I saw in her was a beautiful soul who practiced goodness and compassion in her friendships and relationships with others. She exuded such energy and enthusiasm and infused the entire department with these same qualities by virtue of her presence.”

    Beatriz Gonzalez, the mother of Nohemi, told the Los Angeles Times earlier in the day that her daughter was independent and was determined to carve out her own path.

    The family struggled financially and during her undergraduate studies, Beatriz said, her daughter balanced her classwork with two jobs, one at the Armani Exchange in a Cerritos shopping mall and another at her college’s laboratory.

    “She used to work all the time,” her mother said.

    Beatrice last time she saw her daughter was Sept. 1, the day she boarded a flight for Paris. She learned of her daughter’s death through a friend of a friend, reports the Times.

    Many friends and instructors spoke about the life of Nohemi Gonzalez, including her boyfriend of nearly four years, Tim Mraz, who sobbed as he recalled how they met as teaching assistants in shop class.

    “She ran that place, man, she owned it,” Mraz said. “She was first one in, last one out; there all night.”

    Visibly upset, Mraz thanked classmates, friends and the community for support before adding that she may be gone, but never forgotten.

    “She’ll always be with us,” Mraz said. “She’ll still be roaming these halls, like she always does.”

  • Soleil Moon Frye, ‘Punky Brewster’ Star, Expecting Fourth Child With Hubby Jason Goldberg

    Soleil Moon Frye is expecting her fourth child with husband Jason Goldberg.

    The 39-year-old Punky Brewster alum made her big announcement on Saturday by posting a pic to Instagram, revealing that baby number two was on the way.

    “Excited to share some big news. Feeling beyond blessed. #ClearblueConfirmed #growingfamily @Clearblue #ad #grateful,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself holding a positive pregnancy stick.

    Later that night, Soleil Moon Frye, who is momma to daughters Jagger Joseph Blue, 10, Poet Sienna, seven, and son Lyric Sonny Rhodes, 20 months, attended the 2015 Baby2Baby Gala in Los Angeles.

    “Me & my love. No hiding this bump @baby2baby loved being with you tonight xoxoxo,” she captioned a second image after the event.

    In an interview with People magazine, the expectant mother shared that she felt “fantastic” at “thirteen, fourteen weeks” into her pregnancy.

    “I can’t hide it anymore!” she said about her decision to share the news. “I couldn’t find a dress that could hold me together!”

    Frye seems very excited, albeit a little shocked, about her latest pregnancy and showed off her burgeoning belly in a fitted, floor-length black gown.

    “We were so surprised by this amazing, little miracle, that I think, now, we’re just like, let’s keep the surprises going,” she said. “We had a 20- month-old at home, and we have a ten-year-old, and a seven-year-old. So this was definitely a really happy surprise. It was not something we were planning on, and yet, we could not be more excited and thrilled.”

    Congratulations to Soleil Moon Frye and Jason Goldberg.

  • Selena Gomez Puts Los Angeles Area Home On the Market for $4.5 Million

    Selena Gomez is getting ready to move.

    According to E! News, the 23-year-old Same Old Love singer is selling her 7,700-square-foot Calabasas mansion.

    A real estate listing shows the estate, which sits on more than three acres of land, was put on the market this week for a mere $4.495 million, according to People magazine.

    Gomez bought the home located in the gated community less than five miles away from where ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber used to own a home for almost $3.7 million in 2014.

    According to the listing for the estate, Gomez’s mansion contains six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a courtyard, a gym, a guesthouse, five fireplaces and a pool with a waterfall in the “magnificent” backyard.

    “Extremely rare & private compound in the illustrious Mureau Estates gated community of Calabasas. Sprawling over 3 acres, this exceptional custom home provides every amenity expected of a luxury estate,” reads the listing.

    Obviously, the home is also equipped with security cameras, especially after a 2014 incident in which police arrested a man for burglary and trespassing after he was found inside the guesthouse. The man was sentenced to 45 days in jail after pleading no contest to unauthorized entry of a dwelling house, a misdemeanor, and was ordered to stay away from the singer.

    Photos on the listing offer a peek into Gomez’s life and feature “a high-ceilinged living room with an all-white piano, an extravagantly decorated dining room with turquoise walls and dual chandeliers, an office and bedroom painted in rich purple and an Italian villa-esque outdoor dining area,” according to People.

    Before moving into the Calabasas mansion, Gomez owned a home in Tarzana, located about 10 miles east. She sold it for $3.4 million in 2014 to Iggy Azalea and Nick Young.

    Who would love to have the $4.5 million to purchase Selena Gomez’ home?

  • Debbie Reynolds Misses Governor’s Awards, Granddaughter Accepts On Behalf of The Hollywood Legend’s Behalf

    Debbie Reynolds, the recipient of this year’s Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, was unable to attend the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Governors Awards Saturday night.

    According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Academy issued a statement Friday saying, “The Academy and the family of Debbie Reynolds announce that due to an unexpectedly long recovery from a recent surgery, Reynolds will regretfully be unable to attend.”

    In Debbie Reynolds stead, granddaughter Billie Lourd accepted the award on the 83-year-old Hollywood legend’s behalf. The 23-year-old Scream Queens actress attended the ceremony alongside her mom, Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher.

    “I’m heartbroken that I’m unable to be there in person to receive this extraordinary honor you have given me — so you could see how unbelievably happy you have made me. If joy could be weighed, this would be the most sizable rejoicing one could feel, especially if that one is me,” Debbie Reynolds said in a statement.

    “We’re saddened to hear that Debbie won’t be able to personally accept her well-deserved Oscar,” said Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs. “We look forward to honoring her lifetime achievements and commitment to philanthropy in a fitting tribute with her family and friends.”

    Reynolds was recognized for her decades-long commitment to various charities, including the mental health organization she founded, the Thalians.

    Honorary Oscars were also presented Saturday to Spike Lee and Gena Rowlands, both for career achievement.

  • Sharon Tate: Lindsay Lohan’s Controversial Decision To Dress As Charles Manson’s Victim On His Birthday

    Lindsay Lohan has made another questionable decision by dressing like Sharon Tate on the birthday of the man who arranged her murder, Charles Manson.

    It’s truly a mystery why Lindsay Lohan would choose to dress up like the murder victim and post a picture of herself wearing garments typical of Sharon Tate on Manson’s birthday.

    As reported by People magazine, The Mean Girls star posted the shot to Instagram on Thursday, with the caption, “I LOVE SHARON TATE #CANCERmeetsAQUARIUS #themelook #hippieWINTERCHIC.”

    #cancer meets #AQUARIUS I LOVE SHARON TATE #themeLOOK #hippieWINTERCHIC @lavishalice #tagoverload

    A photo posted by Lindsay Lohan (@lindsaylohan) on

    Lohan, 29, is decked out in ’60s style attire for the picture, including a floral crop top, matching short shorts and vintage boots.

    Sharon Tate was murdered Aug. 9, 1969, by members of Manson’s cult, who broke into her Beverly Hills home and stabbed the pregnant 26-year-old actress to death. Manson, 81, is currently serving nine consecutive life sentences at Corcoran State Prison in California.

    According to UPI, Manson was sentenced to death in 1971, but California’s temporary abolition of the death sentence the next year commuted his sentence to life imprisonment. Manson made headlines once again last year when he became engaged to a 26-year-old woman.

    Whatever led to Lohan’s decision to “honor” Sharon Tate on her murderer’s birthday has left a sour taste in some of Lindsay’s four million Instagram Followers, who believe the post is inappropriate.

    “I’m not sure if you realized that you posted the photo on Manson’s 81st birthday…#badtiming,” one follower wrote.

    Another said, “I’m sure she would be proud that you are celebrating her on her killers bday.”

    What are your thoughts on Lindsay Lohan‘s decision to dress like Sharon Tate on Charles Manson’s birthday?

  • Alexa PenaVega May Return to ‘Dancing With the Stars’ After Tamar Braxton Was Forced to Pull Out

    Alexa PenaVega just may be back on the dance floor after Tamar Braxton, who suffered pulmonary embolisms in both lungs on Monday, was required to pull out of the Dancing With the Stars competition.

    Monday was a little unusual on the hit ABC hit reality dance competition.

    Tamar Braxton, 38, headed to the hospital prior to the live show, missing her first dance routine with partner Val Chmerkovskiy. She returned for her second routine later in the show, but it was obvious she was not well. It was later confirmed that she was suffering from more than pneumonia. In fact, her life was placed in danger by dancing with blood clots in both lungs.

    It came as a shock when Alexa and her partner Mark Ballas were eliminated despite receiving two perfect scores for their routines that night.

    Now producers are scrambling trying to decide what to do with the spot left open by Braxton.

    “The producers are looking at all possibilities right now,” a DWTS insider told People magazine. “There is a possibility that Alexa could be reinstated.”

    PenaVega received three perfect 10s from the judges on Monday after a moving routine that was inspired by her struggle with bulimia. Her Chicago-inspired routine with Bindi Irwin also garnered her perfect 10s.

    Because of her elimination, viewers were not offered the opportunity to vote for PenaVega after her performances on Monday, so it is unclear how her return to the show would work.

    Only time will tell who will join the remaining contestants, hubby Carlos PenaVega, Bindi Irwin, Nick Carter and French train heroAlex Skarlatos to vie for the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy.

    What do you think? Should Alexa PenaVega return to Dancing With the Stars?

  • Jamie Lee Curtis Recreates Mom Janet Leigh’s Famous ‘Psycho’ Shower Scene For ‘Scream Queens’

    Jamie Lee Curtis paid homage to her mother in an unusual way.

    The 56-year-old Halloween actress recreated Janet Leigh’s famous shower scene from the movie Psycho for her new Ryan Murphy comedy, Scream Queens.

    As reported by People magazine, Curtis plays Wallace University’s scheming Dean Cathy Munsch in the Fox slasher comedy.

    The shower scene from the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock film left a generation of women terrified to take a shower.

    Curtis’ scene was filmed in black-and-white and mimics the scene to a tee; although, instead of being stabbed by Norman Bates masquerading as his dead mom, it’s the Red Devil lurking behind the dean’s curtain on Scream Queens.

    Curtis spilled the beans about the homage to Entertainment Tonight back in September.

    “Ryan Murphy and co. wrote it into a special episode and it felt right! Honoring the Royal legend that is/was/will always be, Janet Leigh. Thought all fans of the genre would love it!”

    Jamie Lee Curtis recently told People that she has little in common with her famous parents, Leigh and Tony Curtis. While the famous couple enjoyed being in the spotlight, Jamie Lee says being in the limelight is the real horror in her world.

    “Given what their backgrounds were and how their rise to fame was so meteoric, that sort of thing was important to them,” she said. “When I’m out in the world, I don’t walk around like my father used to. He’d walk into a restaurant and preen and pose and say, ‘Hello, you fine people. I’m Tony.’ … That’s not me.”

    Check out the original Psycho scene with Janet Leigh to compare with Jamie Lee Curtis‘ homage. If you dare.

    Scream Queens airs Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.

  • Cameron Diaz Steps Out Sporting Handbag With Curious Initials Etched On the Tote

    Cameron Diaz stepped out in L.A. on Monday sporting a cream colored purse with a pair of unusual initials on the side.

    The initials the 43-year-old actress chose to have placed on her Valentino bag were C.M., which presumably stands for Cameron Madden, her married name.

    While professionally Diaz continues to use her stage name, it demonstrates that in her heart of hearts, she is Mrs. Benji Madden.

    The personalized “Single-Handle Bag” by Valentino goes for $2,675, according to Us Weekly, and is a favorite of stars like pop superstar Beyoncé and The Devil Wears Prada star Anne Hathaway.

    Cameron Diaz and the Good Charlotte guitarist were married last January in a hush-hush ceremony. The couple dated for a mere seven months before deciding to tie the know.

    Despite a whirlwind romance and top-secret wedding, the couple seem to be doing great together.

    In September, Madden publicly wished his “beautiful wife” a happy birthday.

    “…My best friend and everything else, there’s so much I could write,” he shared via Instagram. “I’m the luckiest guy alive — I get to spend the rest of my life right here. I love this woman!”

    Aw, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden definitely top our list of super cute Hollywood couples.

  • Ireland Baldwin Goes Braless For Red Carpet Appearance At Victoria’s Secret Show

    Ireland Baldwin made an interesting choice of attire on Tuesday by going braless for the red carpet at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York.

    Alec Baldwin‘s daughter’s choice to forgo a bra is somewhat strange considering the show is for undergarments. But, perhaps the Ireland thought the best way to get noticed amisdst dozens of supermodels was by going braless. At least, that’s one theory suggested by Page Six.

    The 20-year-old fashion model wore a plunging — and we do mean plunging — black mini dress paired with strappy open-toed stilettos. Before making her way inside the Lexington Armory, Ireland Baldwin reportedly flashed a whole lot of side boobage.

    Baldwin joined her friend, Dylan Penn, to watch pals Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Lily Aldridge hit the runway from the front row.

    Perhaps the young model is hoping her bosom exposure will attract the powers that be so that she too can earn her own Victoria’s Secret angel wings like her BFFs.

    Hopefully Ireland didn’t have to make any sudden moves because she might have exposed more than just a little side boobs. Let’s just say very little was left to the imagination.

    What do you think of Ireland Baldwin‘s choice of attire for the Victoria’s Secret show?

  • Kim Zolciak-Biermann Opens Up About Having a Stroke

    Kim Zolciak-Biermann has opened up about her experience of having a stroke in September.

    Zolciak suffered the stroke during week two of her run on Dancing With The Stars. She had just returned home after practicing with her partner Tony Dovolani when she began to experience the classic symptoms of a stroke.

    “I bent down to hug my son KJ and all of a sudden my left hand went numb,” Zolciak-Biermann, 37, told People magazine for this week’s issue.

    Zolciak said the symptoms only got worse as the minutes wore on.

    “It was like a million ants were crawling over my body,” she said.

    The sensation continued until she could no longer feel her face or tongue. Her six kids did not know what to think about their mother’s reactions because she is prone to pranking them.

    “I’m always joking around with my kids,” said. “I do these Jim Carrey impersonations with my face and my daughter Brielle thought I was doing that! She said, ‘Mom, cut it out, you’re not funny.’”

    Eventually Zolciak-Biermann was able to convey to her daughter that something was seriously wrong.

    Zolciak-Biermann said she didn’t know it at the time, but she was having a stroke.

    “I kept telling myself, ‘You’re fine, you’re fine. It’s going to be over in a minute, just hold on,’” she recalled.

    Zolciak-Biermann underwent surgery to close a hole doctor’s found in her heart and is grateful for the stroke because she believes it may have saved her life.

    Since then, the Tardy for the Party star posted a PDA-laden pic on Instagram to celebrate her fourth anniversary with hubby Kroy Biermann.

    Looks like life is returning to normal for Kim Zolciak-Biermann and her family.

  • Anastasia Lin, Canada’s Miss World, Targeted By China For Her Stance On Human Rights

    Anastasia Lin, Canada’s China-born Miss World contestant, said on Tuesday that she is being harassed by China because she has spoken out about human rights abuses in the communist country.

    According to The Guardian, Lin’s visa to travel to the beauty pageant in a Chinese resort has been delayed and her father has been harassed by Chinese officials.

    Lin was crowned Miss World Canada in May and said her decision to speak out about Chinese abuse of human rights may have cost her a chance to attend the Dec. 19 contest final in Sanya, China.

    The 25-year-old actress testified in July at a U.S. Congressional hearing on religious persecution in China.

    In her testimony, she said she wanted to “speak for those in China that are beaten, burned and electrocuted for holding to their beliefs,” according to the full text of her statement on the Congressional-Executive Commission on China’s website.

    “I was interested in human rights way before I even thought of beauty pageants,” Lin, 25, told Reuters on Tuesday.

    While other contestants have received their invitation that allows them to apply for a visa to attend the finals, Lin said she has received no letter and believes China is trying to block her from the event.

    “I don’t think this is an administrative issue. It is not. I think this is a matter of principle,” said Lin.

    Anastasia Lin told the Los Angeles Times she believes organizers of the pageant should relocate the competition should she be refused entry into China.

    “This is not just about me – it is a matter of principle,” she said. “China is also trying to silence academics and journalists by denying them visas. This has been going on for a long time.

    “I want to be able to go to China, and I want Chinese people to see my face [on TV] speaking up for them,” she added. “It’s not wrong to stay true to one’s conscience.”

    Officials from China and the Miss World organization were not available to comment, and a Canadian contest official did not return calls about Anastasia Lin’s situation.

  • Lindsey Vonn Swears Off Men … For Now

    Lindsey Vonn Swears Off Men … For Now

    Lindsey Vonn, the US Olympic skiing champ and former Tiger Woods girlfriend, says she’s swearing off men for a while.

    “I’m single, and I probably will be for a while,” she told Health magazine in its December issue, which hits newsstands on Friday.

    “I think this is just a good time for me to focus on myself,” added the 31-year-old cover girl. “I’m not ready to have a family yet, but I will be at some point.”

    Vonn and Woods for three years before breaking up in May.

    “I think it’s just given me more time to spend on myself,” Vonn said of the breakup. “You really look at yourself and figure out what makes you happy, and you also have a lot more free time.”

    Vonn said the primary reason for the hiatus from men is her desire to devote her time to training.

    “I’ve been working really hard,” Vonn said. “I got a new nutritionist, and I’m just doing everything I can to be in shape for this season. And it’s paying off.”

    Vonn added that people need to just chill when it comes to rumors about her love life.

    “It’s almost comical because it’s not even my life,” the star athlete said. “Everyone assumes that it’s fact, and it’s not, so I just have to laugh. I mean, if you take all that stuff seriously, then you’ll drive yourself crazy.”

    Vonn made headlines over the weekend when she shared a rather graphic photo of her right thumb that ytches after she tried to break up her two dogs as the fought over a frisbee.

    “So the story is that my dogs got rowdy fighting over a dang Frisbee and I tried to break it up but got bit instead. Fun weekend,” Vonn tweeted on Saturday along with a photo of the injury.

    “I just decided to do Jimmy Fallon for a belated Halloween outfit,” she later joked in a video posted to Instagram. “Nailed it! I win!”

    What do you think about Lindsey Vonn’s decision to swear off men for the moment?

  • Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher Have Finally Posted First Official Photo of Daughter Wyatt … Maybe

    Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have been very protective of their one-year-old daughter Wyatt Isabelle.

    But, perhaps they are loosening their tight restrictions on posting photos of their little one.

    Since her birth in October 2014, Mila and Ashton’s daughter has remained most decisively out of the spotlight.

    Speculation is mounting that the world is getting its first glimpse of Wyatt after Kutcher posted a cute photo of a toddler on his Instagram account.

    In the photo, a little girl is shown with her back to the camera, looking out through the bars of a bridge towards a beautiful vista. With a head full of brown locks reminiscent of her (maybe) daddy, the little sweetheart is dressed in an oversized floral shirt, pink leggings and turquoise shoes, reports E! Online.

    #redsandproject,” Kutcher captioned the photo, drawing attention to a red sand caught in between the cracks in the pavement.

    Only time will tell if the photo is indeed of Wyatt, but it’s looks like the little one is Mila and Ashton’s little girl.

    If it is not Wyatt, it likely won’t be long before a shot is captured of her. After all, her parents take her everywhere.

    “Ashton and Mila include Wyatt in everything,” a source told E! News. “They take her on hikes, out to breakfast and to the beach. She loves being outside so that’s a big part of their routine. They also do baby classes and take her on play dates with their friends who have kids. They’ve done a lot of road trips and think she’s very adaptable and easy going.”

    What do you all think? Is this our first look at Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher’s daughter Wyatt?

  • Pamela Anderson Announces She’s Cured of Hepatitis C With Nude Instagram Post

    Pamela Anderson, who has suffered from the effects of Hepatitis C for 16 years, announced on Saturday that she’s free of the disease by posting a photo of herself nude on a yacht via Instagram.

    Sound about right for the 48-year-old former Baywatch babe.

    “I am CURED!!!,” she wrote in the caption, along with a number of happy hashtags. “I pray anyone living with Hep C can qualify or afford treatment. It will be more available soon. I know treatment is hard to get still…#dontlosehope #itworkedforme #thereisacure.”

    Earlier this summer, the model and actress told People magazine she had been prescribed a new FDA-approved drug regimen after experimenting with a slew of alternative treatments.

    Anderson was diagnosed with Hep C in 2002 after sharing a tattoo needle with her then-husband Tommy Lee. She has described the ordeal as being diagnosed with a “death sentence.”

    “I think it really worked on my self esteem,” she said. “Even though I may have looked confident on the outside, I think it really was a dark cloud that lingered over me.”

    Anderson says she has used her fame to help remove the stigma of hepatitis C.

    “I’ve always been an advocate of trying to remove stigma from hepatitis C from aids,” she says. “I think subconsciously [the disease] just works on you.”

    Today, the animal activist says she feels better (and younger) than ever.

    “I actually just look in the mirror everyday and I feel like I’m looking younger and younger and I feel like I’m getting those 20 years back.”

  • Shonda Rhimes Reveals the Moment When Enough Was Enough and Began a 127 Lb. Weight Loss Journey

    Shonda Rhimes Reveals the Moment When Enough Was Enough and Began a 127 Lb. Weight Loss Journey

    Shonda Rhimes has revealed the moment when enough was enough and she decided it was time to say “yes” to losing weight.

    While visiting The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about her new book, The Year of Yes, Rhimes shared some of the changes she’s made since beginning her personal mission of saying yes.

    Shonda Rhimes told De Generes that after giving a commencement speech at Dartmouth, she came to the realization that public speaking (which she had been afraid of) could be a good thing, Rhimes set out to conquer more of her fears.

    She told Ellen that “the more fears I conquered, the more I felt like, ‘Oh wait, I can do this too.’”

    One of the challenges the Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal creator gave herself was losing weight.

    According to TV Guide, Rhimes has lost a remarkable 127 pounds and said the change was sparked by a moment on an airplane when she realized she couldn’t buckle her seat belt because of her weight.

    “It wasn’t the seat belt, it was me,” she said of the embarrassing moment. “And I decided that I would risk just flying out of my seat because I wasn’t going to say anything.

    “It really was about the fact that I have a three-year-old and a two-year-old and a 13-year-old and I kind of wanted to be around for them,” Rhimes added.

    I think we can all learn from Shonda Rhimes and her mission of saying yes to scary and difficult challenges in our lives. What are your thoughts?
