  • Missy Elliott Shares Her ‘Tears of Joy’ on Twitter After She ‘Stole’ the Super Bowl Halftime Show From Katy Perry

    Missy Elliott’s surprise performance during Katy Perry’s Super Bowl XLIX halftime show not only led the legendary R&B performer to tears, some think she may have stolen the show from the pop star.

    Saying Missy Elliott ‘stole’ the show may be an exaggeration because it was a truly great show all around, but it’s certain fans were thrilled to see Missy Elliott’s return to the stage.

    Missy Elliott may not be all that familiar to the younger generation since she has been out of the spotlight for several years, but few can deny she killed it Sunday night singing three of Katy Perry’s songs.

    Apparently, someone too young to know who the legendary rap artist is even tweeted that she was trying to be the next Nicki Minaj.

    Twitter blew up during the half-time show, with many A-listers praising Missy Elliott‘s performance and it didn’t take long for her to trend worldwide, with many tweeting that they thought Missy “made” Katy Perry’s performance and the show.

    The performance was just a meaningful to Missy Elliott, who tweeted her gratitude and joy, after being away from performing for so long.

    In case you missed it …

  • Gisele Bundchen, Kids Celebrate ‘Daddy’ Tom Brady’s Fourth Super Bowl Win

    Gisele Bundchen is Tom Brady’s biggest fan and couldn’t wait to celebrate with her husband when he won his fourth Super Bowl championship Sunday/

    Gisele Bundchen was ready to cheer on her man before the game, wearing a sequined No. 12 New England Patriots jersey.

    “Are you ready?!?!” she captioned her Instagram post. “Let’s go Pats!!!!! #superbowl”

    The Brazilian beauty is very passionate about her husband’s line of work, and like any devoted wife, Gisele Bundchen is always ready to take up for her man.

    In 2012, things didn’t go quite so well when the Patriots lost to the Giants that year, and the supermodel asked friends and family to pray for Brady. Her passion for the sport and her husband unfortunately led her to put the blame on the Patriots wide receivers for their inability to catch her husband’s passes.

    Are you ready?!?! Let's go Pats!!!!! #superbowl Vocês estão prontos?!?! Vamos Pats!!!!!

    “You [have] to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball,” she said then. “My husband cannot [bleeping] throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.”

    Things were very different Sunday and she posted several pics to her Instagram page, including a cutie of her munchkins cheering on their daddy.

    Lets go daddy!! Let's go Pats !! Vamos papai !! Vamos Pats!!

  • Jessica Chambers: Family and Friends Gather to Remember Teen Burned to Death on Her 20th Birthday

    Jessica Chambers died nearly two months ago after she was set on fire and left to die.

    On Saturday, family and friends of 19-year old Jessica Chambers gathered in Sardis, Mississippi, for a candlelight vigil and balloon release just days a few days before the day that what would have been her 20th birthday.

    “Here she was fixing to be 20, but she was still a young child at heart,” Chambers’ Aunt, Deborah Sanders, told vigil-goers. “She would love all the balloons, whatever you did to makeover her, she would be ecstatic over it.”

    Lisa Chambers said she hoped that her daughter was able to see the balloon release and know that she was loved.

    “Can she see that? Did she know how much she’s loved? I just want her to know I want everybody to know that she was loved,” she said.

    There are still no arrests in the case, but those she left behind have not forgotten the young woman, who was so brutally murdered, and believe investigators will eventually solve the case.

    “Justice will be served,” said Jessica Chambers’ grandmother, Willie Beardain. “We have good law enforcement here in Panola County, and they won’t give up until her killer or killers are brought to justice.”

    Those who love Jessica Chambers are confident that the perpetrators of the crime, who took their girl from them, will eventually pay for their deeds.

    “They will have to pay for that they did because every decision, every choice you make, you have to live by it,” Sanders said.

    Even though it’s hard for family and friend to be without Jessica Chambers, especially on holidays and special occasions, faith seems to help them tackle each day as it comes.

    “I would tell Jessica you know just enjoy singing in that beautiful choir in heaven, and maw-maw will be there later on,” Beardain said.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Whitney Houston’s Girl Fights For Her Life in Medically-Induced Coma — Accident or Intentional?

    Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only child of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, is reportedly in a medically-induced coma after she was found facedown and unresponsive Saturday in the bathtub of her Roswell, Georgia, home.

    Bobbi Kristina was rushed to the hospital and has been placed in a medically-induced coma to protect her brain as she fights for her life.

    On everyone’s mind is what could have happened to Bobbi Kristina. The déjà vu sense of Bobbi Kristina’s husband finding her facedown in the tub — exactly in the the same manner in which her mother was discovered at her death — is disturbing.

    It’s no secret the 21-year-old has faced some of the same demons as her mother and her father, Bobby Brown, after the devastating death of her mother, nearly three years ago on Feb. 11, 2012.

    “Bobbi Kristina will be the first person to say that she has used in the past, and that she dealt with a lot of pressure from growing up in the spotlight. You’ve seen the pictures on the Internet, so you know,” a source close to the family told People magazine. “But as of five months ago, she swore up and down that she wasn’t using, and she seemed very adamant.”

    According to the friend, Bobbi Kristina was well aware that she struggled with many of the same addictions as her mother.

    “The last time I talked to her was before Halloween, and I said, ‘You know that we’re worried about you. I hope you’re not using.’ And she said, ‘I know how my mother died, and I’ve learned from her mistakes.’”

    Bobbi Kristina’s grandmother, Cissy Houston, has addressed the negative impact her daughter’s death has had on her granddaughter.

    “Of course I worry about her,” said Cissy. “It doesn’t mean that she is going to follow her [mother’s] same path. She could but anybody could. I don’t want to jinx her. I’m trying to make sure she doesn’t.”

    In March 2014, Bobbi Kristina came under scrutiny once again for her emaciated appearance, but she fought back on Twitter.

    This past July, a photo appeared on her Instagram account showing her allegedly smoking pot out of a bong. Once again, she denied the photo was hers on Twitter.

    The irony of how she was discovered by husband Nick Gordon seems all the more questionable when reading a tweet Bobbi Kristina posted this week.

    Investigators continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

    It’s a sad and frightening situation for the Brown, Gordon and Houston families and everyone is hoping Bobbi Kristina pulls through and can find some peace in her heart and life.

  • Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, John Krasinski and Other Boston Natives Confess to Deflate-Gate in Hilarious Spoof

    Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Steven Tyler, Chris Evans and John Krasinski brought out their best native Boston accents for a skit in support of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady after his team was accused of deflating balls prior to their AFC Championship win.

    Each of the famous Boston sons pretended to be the locker room attendant, who many think is behind “deflate-gate,” in a Jimmy Kimmel Live sketch.

    “I am the locker room guy,” each claims before giving their “reasons” for deflating the footballs.

    “When there’s a high-profile crime, all of a sudden a bunch of people come forward and claim they did it, like when the Lindbergh baby was kidnapped, there was a group — a bunch of people confessed. Same with the Black Dahlia murders,” said Kimmel, introducing the spoof.

    “So I go and I take a football,” said Matt Damon, saying his reason was to help his sick nephew’s bronchitis. “I don’t want to squeeze all the air into his little lungs because, you know, I don’t want to ruin the football, so I just take a little bit of air out of ’em, like 11 out of 12 of them, and it does the trick, it absolutely saves his lungs.”

    John Krasinski said he was the guy, and blames his actions on a Goodyear Blimp accident.

    “I start sucking air out of the regulation balls in order to save those people’s lives,” said John Krasinski. “I saved 17 people’s lives. Tom Brady had nothing to do with it. But let me tell you something — if he did, he would have done the exact same thing. Because he’s a godd**n hero.”

  • Whitney Houston’s Daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown Found Unresponsive in Bathtub, Rushed to Hospital

    Whitney Houston‘s daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, 21, was found unresponsive in a bathtub Saturday morning and rushed to a hospital in the north Atlanta suburbs, police said.

    Officer Lisa Holland, a spokeswoman for the Roswell Police Department, said Bobbi Kristina Brown’s husband, Nick Gordon, and a friend found the late singer’s daughter in the tub around 10:30 a.m. and provided CPR as they waited on first responders.

    When police and EMS arrived, they provided additional care until she was taken alive to North Fulton Hospital.

    Police say they are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is the daughter of Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown. In a bizarre case of déja vu, her mother was found dead of a drug overdose in a hotel bathtub on Feb. 11, 2012, in Beverly Hills, California, after battling addiction to cocaine, marijuana and pills for years.

    Updates are forthcoming as details become available.

  • Heidi Montag: Graphic Details of Father William Montag’s Alleged Child Sex Abuse and Incest

    Heidi Montag‘s father was arrested Thursday for allegedly committing years of sexual abuse and incest with a 13-year-old girl.

    According to Aspen, Colorado authorities, William Montag was arrested on an outstanding warrant on charges of child sexual abuse and aggravated incest. However, the charges have nothing to do with Heidi Montag or sister Holly.

    Documents reportedly reveal that the sexual abuse of of the mystery girl began in 1993, when Heidi Montag was six, and continued until 1998. The girl alleges she was molested at least 50 times during the five-year time frame.

    According to documents, as reported by TMZ, William Montag “groomed her with back rubs in her bedroom in the basement of their home.” The website reports that the abuse “escalated by attempting to insert a vibrator into her vagina. At age 16, he began performing oral sex. It then gets extremely graphic.”

    Documents reportedly reveal that the last incident occurred in 1998, when William Montag allegedly “crawled into bed with her, tried to pull down her underwear and said, ‘I want to have sex with you.’”

    The girl reportedly said, “Get the hell out of my room, no!” And he responded, “I thought that’s what you wanted. I thought you loved me the way I love you.”

    Sources told TMZ that Heidi Montag and her husband Spencer Pratt know the accuser and say she “is determined to destroy the family.”

    TMZ says the couple, who claim the accuser has been stalking them at public appearances, refutes the claims and believe Heidi Montag’s father will be exonerated.

    William Montag appeared on an episode of The Hills in 2009, when he walked Heidi Montag down the aisle as she wed Spencer Pratt.

  • Val Kilmer Denies Rumors of Throat Tumor and Surgery in Facebook Post, Eludes to Other Health Issues

    Val Kilmer took to Facebook Saturday morning to deny rumors that he was hospitalized Monday night to undergo surgery for a throat tumor.

    “Thank you for all your sweet support. But I have not had a tumor, or a tumor operations, or any operation,” Val Kilmer wrote on his Facebook page Saturday morning. “I had a complication where the best way to receive care was to stay under the watchful eye of the ucla ICU.”

    Rumors began circulating Friday that Kilmer had undergone emergency surgery for a bleeding throat tumor after Santa Monica Fire Department confirmed to People magazine that a man was transported from Kilmer’s home address to the hospital, but could not comment on the reason.

    On the other hand, Val Kilmer seems to elude to some other health issue in his post.

    “Friends have assisted who know my spiritual convictions and have been most sensitive and kind for the extra effort in making sure there’s minimum gossip and silly talk,” Kilmer continued. “I am praying for a speedy return to the boards as they say. God bless you all and please don’t worry. Love and deep affection, Val”

  • Stevie Wonder Irks Funeral Attendees With His Politically-Infused Eulogy For Gospel Legend Andraé Crouch

    Stevie Wonder raised the ire of some funeral attendees after offering polically-infused remarks at the life celebration of gospel legend Andraé Crouch’s in Los Angeles on Jan 21.

    Many were apparently upset that Stevie Wonder made political statements during his tribute to Crouch rather than focusing on the Grammy-winning singer’s life and accomplishments.

    “Stevie Wonder took the opportunity to say that Obama’s goal of inclusiveness was largely thwarted because of hatred towards him because of his skin color,” a source told FOX411. “And that he supports freedom of speech, but we should make laws against people criticizing religion.”

    Stevie Wonder said many Americans were judging Obama based on his race.

    “We live in a time where I believe we have a president that truly wanted to see the world come together, to see this nation come together, but yet too much, too many people are judging their dislike of him based on the color of his skin,” said Stevie Wonder at the celebration. “And I know there are some who say, ‘No that’s not true,’ but I’m telling you what I see.

    “Yes, I truly believe in freedom of speech, I really really do believe in that,” Wonder added. “But I think if we don’t put some limits to us being able to give praise to that one that we hold sacred, we got a problem.”

    While some may agree with Stevie Wonder’s remarks, those close to Andraé Crouch — who died Jan. 8 at the age of 78 after suffering a heart attack — said he was about his faith, his music, and not about politics.

    “Andraé was not about color or politics. He was about his faith and reached out to everyone. In a time where racial tension has escalated, the inclusive spirit and heart of Andraé was a healing balm,” said the source.

  • Taya Kyle Opens Up About Late Husband, Real Life ‘American Sniper’ Chris Kyle, Saying Kids Were ‘Robbed’ of Their Dad

    Taya Kyle recently opened up to People magazine about her late husband, real life American Sniper Chris Kyle, and the effect his death in 2013 had on her family.

    “I feel like [the kids] got robbed because they don’t get to see what I would see when I would look at him look at them: the twinkle in his eye and the pure joy and the pride,” Taya Kyle told the magazine. “They had the epitome of a father – a guy who had a good Christian soul, who held them to a high standard of respect and manners and played with them until they were hysterically laughing.”

    Chris Kyle‘s life has been famously documented in the book and film, American Sniper. The veteran’s life was tragically cut short when he was fatally shot on a Texas gun range by a fellow veteran, who was allegedly suffering from PTSD.

    Oscar-nominated screenwriter of the film and family friend Jason Hall said the honorably-discharged Navy SEAL’s demeanor changed when he spent time with his kids.

    “He was real busted up,” said Hall, of Chris Kyle’s return home from Afghanistan. “He was in his thirties at the time, but he looked like he was 50 or 60.”

    Hall said anytime he was with the kids, everything changed for the psychologically damaged veteran.

    “I saw this look on his face,” he said. “I saw this lightness. His eyes lit up for his kids.”

    Taya Kyle said Chris Kyle always put the kids first.

    “He was the kind of dad who was like, ‘First day of school? No, I’m not going to have a business trip,’” said Taya Kyle.

    According to Taya Kyle, every moment was special with Chris, from school parties to the kids’ sporting events to watching TV together.

    “He had the greatest belly laugh. We would love watching America’s Funniest Home Videos together. He would just roll over laughing.”

    It’s obvious from Taya Kyle that her late husband knew how to express love despite all the horror the veteran experienced as a sniper.

    “He had that strong sense about him, along with that soft, loving side,” she said. “You could always cuddle with him and it was always, ‘I love you,’ with a big hug.

    “In his roughest times, they had his affection and so did I,” she says. “I feel blessed that they were old enough to know that, because they will have that forever and they feel that today, still.”

  • Heidi Montag’s Father Arrested on Charges of Child Sexual Abuse and Incest

    Heidi Montag‘s father has been arrested on an oustanding arrest warrant for sexual assault on a child and incest charges, however the case does not involve The Hills‘ Heidi Montag Pratt or her sister Holly.

    According to CBS4, William Montag, 67, was arrested Thursday at the Aspen Valley (Colorado) Ski and Snowboard Club, where he worked, on a failure to appear charge, according to jail records.

    According to court records, William Montag has been wanted on a felony warrant from Centennial, a Denver suburb, for sex assault on a child by a person in a position of trust and a warrant was issued this past Monday.

    An Aspen Police Department press release said William Montag was arrested and charged with three counts of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust and one charge of aggravated incest. Both charges are class three felonies.

    The incidents involving William Montag allegedly took place between July 1, 1996, and June 30, 1998, and involves incest of a single victim who was between the ages of 14 and 17 when the alleged assaults occurred, according to Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Captain Larry Etheridge.

    William Montag appeared with his daughter on an episode of The Hills, when he walked Heidi Montag down the aisle as she wed Spencer Pratt in 2009.

  • ‘Brady Bunch’ Super Bowl Ad for Snickers Features Danny Trejo as Marcia Brady and Steve Buscemi as Jan Brady

    A Brady Bunch-themed Super Bowl ad for Snickers features gnarly action star Danny Trejo playing the 1970s teen icon Marcia Brady.

    For those who remember, Marcia Brady, played by Maureen McCormick, 58, was the hippest teen that every girl wanted to be and every guy wanted to date.

    In a moment of genius, the ad team at Snickers came up with the idea to star Danny Trejo as the eldest daughter of the Brady Bunch clan.

    “My agent called me and said, ‘Danny, I have a surprise for you. They want you to play Marcia Brady,” Trejo said. “I’ve been nurturing a career of being a bad guy for 20 years and [you want me to] play Marcia Brady.”

    It’s an awesome ad that brings back memories of some of the more popular episodes from the show, including one when Marcia breaks her nose after Peter Brady throws a football at her face and another when sister Jan Brady — played by another tough guy, Steve Buscemi, in the ad — laments that it’s always all about “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.”

    Yep, genius!

    Danny Trejo said he was excited to play the teen idol, although his family thought is was a little weird when he told them he would play the Brady Bunch star.

    “I just couldn’t believe it. So I read the commercial, and it was funny. It’s going to be an amazing commercial,” said Trejo. “When I said I’m going to play Marcia Brady … they all kind of looked at me,” said Trejo.

    Check out this fun video about the making of the Brady Bunch-themed Superbowl Snickers ad that I’m sure will take some people back.

  • Anna Gunn of ‘Breaking Bad’ Scores Female Lead in ‘Criminal Minds’ Spinoff Alongside Gary Sinise

    Anna Gunn of Breaking Bad has scored the female lead in a Criminal Minds spinoff alongside Gary Sinise.

    The series’ storyline will kick off during a future of episode of CBS’ Criminal Minds, which reportedly will be filmed in mid-February.

    The new crew of FBI psychological profilers are part of a division of the bureau that helps American citizens who find themselves in trouble abroad.

    Anna Gunn, who won two Emmy Awards for her role as Walter White’s (Bryan Cranston) wife, Skyler, on Breaking Bad, is slated to play the role of linguistically-savvy Ally Lambert, an international lawyer who works for 20-year-veteran and team leader Jack Garrett, played by Gary Sinise.

    Erica Messer, the brains behind Criminal Minds, is writing the script and executive-producing with Mark Gordon and Nick Pepper.

    The new project is produced by ABC Studios, CBS Television Studios and The Mark Gordon Company.

    Following the end of Breaking Bad, Anna Gunn most recently starred with David Tennant in Fox’s Gracepoint, an adaptation of the British series Broadchurch.

  • Bruce Jenner: Are the Kardashians Cashing In On Jenner’s Personal Decisions?

    Bruce Jenner has been the topic of much speculation about a new reality show he is reportedly filming, which will allegedly document his full transformation into a woman.

    However, in an intriguing article by The Washington Post blogger Emily Yahr, the writer suggests much of the attention on Bruce Jenner is just a media tool for the “savvy family.”

    Yahr suggests the Kardashians’ close relationship with Us Weekly and reports on the former Kardashian patriarch is fueled by the Kardashians’ need for media attention and their “cosy relationship.”

    “Put together, it all smacks of a brilliantly orchestrated Kardashian publicity stunt to drive viewers to their E! reality show,” writes Yahr. “It would be nothing new for the family, which has become a multimillion-dollar empire over the last decade by keeping fans titillated by the intimate details of their lives.”

    Yahr further suggests “Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and the whole family frequently appear on the cover and Web site. And in return, they tip off the mag about bits of news that will get lots of readers: Kourtney’s pregnancy, Khloe’s break-up, Kim and Kanye’s wedding invitation. In other words, the magazine wouldn’t risk printing something this personal — and false — about one of its moneymakers.”

    Needless to say, the magazine does report on nearly every breath that is taken by one of the member’s of the extensive family, and it certainly does serve their promotional purposes.

    Could Bruce Jenner just be another tool in the Kardashian’s media blitz box? Who know? But, one thing is for sure. We’ve heard much from the girls and ex-wife Kris Jenner about Bruce Jenner’s gender identity and alleged transformation, but very little from the man himself.

    “Bruce is very happy, the happiest I’ve ever seen him. And he’s, you know, our dad, so we support him no matter what,” Kim Kardashian told Us Weekly. “And I think when the time’s right, he’ll talk about whatever he wants to talk about. I just feel like that’s really his journey to talk about.”

  • Lindsay Lohan Seems to Think Meeting Fans Constitutes Community Service, May Face Jail Time

    Lindsay Lohan seems to think meeting and greeting fans constitutes community service and now the beleaguered actress is once again under investigation.

    Although Lindsay Lohan is close to finishing her final community service sentence, an official alleges she may not have completed as many hours as she claims, according to the Associated Press.

    Santa Monica Chief Deputy City Attorney Terry White recently said he doubts Lindsay Lohan had completed 80 hours of community service in nine days and if he can prove it, he said he will seek jail time for the actress.

    While claims meet and greet session with fans does not constitute community service.

    “She got to shake hands with people, and that’s community service,” White said. “I’d love to hang out with a celebrity all day and see their life, but that’s not community service.”

    White said he also believes Lohan could not have completed the service because of treatment she received last month for her widely reported bout with the Chikungunya virus. Lohan’s attorney Shawn Holley discounts White’s claim, saying Lohan has received outpatient treatment and “powered through it.”

    Lindsay Lohan‘s sentence for a 2012 conviction for reckless driving called for 240 hours of community service. A judge permitted Lohan to complete a portion of her service in London while she appeared in the West End production of Speed-the-Plow.

    White must verify Lohan’s hours by Feb. 18.

  • Robin Wright Reunites With Fiancé Ben Foster in the City of Love

    Robin Wright has her engagement ring back on her finger and is celebrating her reunion with fiancé Ben Foster in the City of Love.

    The on-again-off-again couple were spotted enjoying a romantic dinner Wednesday in a back room at L’Atelier Saint-Germain de Joël Robuchon in Paris.

    Ben Foster was said to be “very attentive and sweet” to Robin Wright, an onlooker told People magazine.

    “They were very low-key and cute together. You could tell he was really into her,” said the source of the couple who split in November before reuniting before the Golden Globes.

    Robin Wright, who is 48, and her 34-year-old fiancé also attended the Giorgio Armani Privé Haute Couture show on Tuesday together, along with Wright’s daughter Dylan Penn.

    Robin Wright, who is currently starring opposite Kevin Spacey in House of Cards, is “in a very good place now” with Ben Foster, according to a source close to the actress.

    “Ben is the nicest guy. She knows she has a keeper,” an insider told Us Weekly.

    “There were a bunch of issues before, a lot because of distance and her schedule, but they are working on them. It is worth it to be with a guy like this who really cares about her so much.”

    People‘s source also confirmed that they are really perfect for each other.

    “They’re ecstatically happy,” said the source.

    Despite all the good vibes going around, the couple reportedly are not in a rush to make it official just yet.

    “Marriage doesn’t define her,” said the source. “That’s not to say it won’t happen, just that things as they are, are pretty great. In many ways, she and Ben couldn’t be a better match.”

    For the time being, Robin Wright and Foster are just “loving spending time together.”

    “Robin is in a good, healthy place,” said the source for People. “In many ways, things are coming together. Ben is a part of that, her kids are a part of that and her work has never been more rewarding.”

  • Amanda Seyfried Makes Her Debut Off-Broadway Replacing Tatiana Maslany in ‘The Way We Get By’

    Amanda Seyfried Makes Her Debut Off-Broadway Replacing Tatiana Maslany in ‘The Way We Get By’

    Amanda Seyfried is set to star in her first off-Broadway production in Neil LaBute’s The Way We Get By, replacing Tatiana Maslany.

    Second Stage Theater said Thursday that Amanda Seyfried is taking over for Mislay, after the Orphan Black star had to pull out of the production due to filming schedule conflicts.

    Amanda Seyfried will star opposite Thomas Sadoski — best-known for his roles in Wild, The Newsroom and as a 2009 Tony Award-nominated actor for LaBute’s Reasons to Be Pretty — at New York’s Second Stage Theatre.

    The play recounts the tale of Beth and Doug, two people “who have no difficulty getting dates. But the morning after their steamy hookup at a drunken wedding reception, they find themselves grappling with the rules of attraction, sex and society as they consider what they really know about one another,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.

    Tony-nominated Leigh Silverman is directing the play, which begins previews on April 28. The world premiere opening is slated for May 20. The limited engagement runs through June 14.

    Amanda Seyfried has acted in several film adaptions of Broadway hits, including the role of Cosette in the recent film adaptation of Les Miserables an starring opposite Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia! She is also set to star in the upcoming Ted 2 and Pan.

  • Bruce Jenner Reportedly Ready to Tell the World About His Transformation to ‘Look and Live As a Woman’

    Bruce Jenner is ready to end speculation about his gender identity and tell the world the truth about who he really is.

    The 65-year-old Olympian and reality star has reportedly taped an interview discussing his transformation and is currently filming an unscripted E! reality series of his own about his “desire to look like a woman and live as one,” reports Us Weekly.

    “It’s a docuseries featuring the Jenner family talking about Bruce ‘coming out.’ The world will see his full transformation,” a source told the magazine.

    Us Weekly claims Bruce Jenner is finally ready to speak the truth thanks to the support he has received from his 10 children and stepchildren.

    “He has been carrying this with him for so long that everyone is relieved he is starting to come out with it,” the source said.

    “They were so worried that their dad had no one to talk to about this. They are happy when he opens up because it’s been such a long time coming.”

    Stepdaughter Kim Kardashian talked about her stepfather’s journey on Entertainment Tonight earlier this week.

    “I think everyone goes through things in life and I think that story and what Bruce is going through, I think he’ll share whenever the time is right,” she said on Monday. “I feel like that’s his journey to talk about.”

    Kris Jenner seems to be the only one who is less than supportive of her ex-husband’s transformation. Us Weekly said she has been aware of his desire to live as a woman since the beginning of their relationship.

    “She treats the whole thing like it will just go away,” a family source told the magazine. “She tells the public it isn’t true rather than try to understand. She has made no attempt to seriously understand him.”

  • Yolanda Foster Reunites With Kids, Daughter Gigi Hadid Talks About Mom’s Battle With Lyme Disease

    Yolanda Foster was reunited with her family after returning home from Asia, where she was receiving treatment for chronic Lyme Disease.

    Last Thursday, daughter Gigi Hadid was anticipating her mom’s return and provided an update on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s health at the First Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards, where she was being honored as Model of the Year by The Daily Front Row.

    “She had a small procedure a couple of days ago and can’t be here, but I’m doing it all for her and I know that she’ll be able to come to things soon,” Gigi told Access before her mom returned to the states. “She’s still being treated in Asia, but she comes back hopefully at the end of this weekend.”

    Things didn’t sound very encouraging for Yolanda Foster after she posted some alarming words about her health in a recent blog post.

    “I have lost the ability to read, write, or even watch TV, because I can’t process information or any stimulation for that matter. It feels like someone came in and confiscated my brain and tied my hands behind my back to just watch and see life go by without me participating in it,” Yolanda Foster wrote.

    Gigi Hadid told Access her mom’s sincere words came after she encouraged Yolanda to write from the heart.

    “She called me last week and she’s like, ‘I have to write my blog,’ for her show and she’s like, ‘I can’t do it. Like I can’t even watch the show and it hurts’ and I was like, ‘Just be honest, you know,’” Gigi Hadid said. “And that’s what she did for her last blog, was just open up and was like, ‘I’m just gonna tell you guys it’s hard for me’ and she had to have someone else, you know, write it, but I think doing that is better than trying to fake it and it’s only hurting her, but then she’s not putting out a good blog, you know, for the fans and the readers and I think that they want to see that real side of her life. And there’s a lot of Lyme, you know, patients that are reading that… understand where she’s coming from and also so happy that they can have someone to relate to.”

    It was difficult to be apart, said Gigi Hadid on Thursday, but with modern technology, the family was able to keep in touch.

    “We’re trying to stay strong for her mostly and be positive and keep her in touch and I was FaceTiming with her while I was getting ready today,” Gigi Hadid said. “We wanna help her feel like she’s not too far away ’cause I know it’s lonely over there.”

  • ‘Django Unchained’ Actress Daniele Watts, Boyfriend Plead Not Guilty to Charges Accusing Them of Having Sex in a Car

    Django Unchained actress Daniele Watts and her boyfriend plead not guilty Tuesday to charges of lewd conduct, said their attorney Lou Shapiro.

    “I look forward to a positive outcome for my clients,” Shapiro said of the couple who were detained in September in Studio City, California, after police received a call saying a couple was having sex in a car.

    A big brouhaha ensued when police arrived, with Watts accusing the police officer who stopped them of racism because she is black and her boyfriend is white.

    City prosecutors charged Watts and Brian James Lucas with misdemeanor lewd conduct in October. Initially, the LAPD had no intention on charging the couple, but spokesman Lt. Andrew Neiman later said that a follow-up investigation “revealed witnesses who were willing to provide evidence of a criminal act.”

    Daniele Watts, who appeared in the movie Django Unchained and the FX TV show Partners, has denied that the couple were having sex and defended her refusal to provide identification to officers during the encounter.

    “We are, quite frankly, appalled and disturbed that the L.A. prosecutor’s office has chosen to file these charges against us,” the couple said in a statement in October.

    “If a passionate public embrace while displaying no nudity is grounds for having charges filed against you, then we’d expect that everyone who engages in an extended public display of affection with their loved one will be targeted as well.”

    Sgt. Jim Parker, one of the officers involved in the detention told The LA Times that Watts repeatedly refused to provide identification and left the scene, leading the officers to handcuff her on the scene.

    “If they had handled this situation in a civil manner, they would have never been charged or detained for that long,” Parker told The Times after their detention in September. “I would have been gone in five minutes.”

    If convicted, the couple faces up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Their next hearing is scheduled for Feb. 23.
