  • Anna Kendrick Says Getting a Massage and Her Nails Done Are ‘Torture’

    Anna Kendrick is probably not having a whole lot of fun right now as she prepares for the Golden Globes Awards Ceremony scheduled for Sunday.

    The Into the Woods actress told People StyleWatch magazine that getting her nails done and having a massage is the last thing she ever wants to do.

    “I find getting my nails done the most tedious thing,” said Kendrick. “I’m such a fidgety person; it’s like torture.”

    She also said her thoughts about getting massages is very atypical.

    “Everybody loves massages; I don’t know what my problem is,” she says. “I feel like I have to talk to the masseuses.”

    The Pitch Perfect star said whenever she goes for a massage she winds up talking to the masseuse rather than enjoying the experience.

    “Pretty soon, I’m asking for their grandma’s recipe for apple pie and pretending like I’m interested. Why?” said Kendrick. “Besides, I’d rather do this face to face when their hands aren’t all over my naked body.”

    One such friend coming to the Bieb’s defense is personal trainer Patrick Nilsson, who says the singer is “well-endowed” after Breathe-Heavy.com claimed to have untouched photos of Bieber’s Calvin Klein campaign.

    “Bieber denies the photo is real, and I respect that and will believe him,” said

    Cue in Bieber’s personal trainer Patrick Nilsson, who shared his opinion on Bieber’s man parts to Access Hollywood..

    “I can definitely confirm that he is a well-endowed guy. I sound weird saying that, but yes,” said Nilsson.

    Meanwhile, Bieber said he is thrilled with the realization of a long-time dream.

    “I have been wearing Calvin Klein underwear for years in hopes of getting to model for the brand one day,” Bieber told Women’s Wear Daily about the shoot. “It’s always been a dream. Last spring, I posted a picture on Instagram in my underwear, using the #mycalvins tag. Thankfully the brand saw it and liked the reaction it was getting, and a relationship started from there.”

    Bieber said he worked his body hard for the shoot.

    “I was very diligent about my workouts leading up to the shoot,” he said. “I have a trainer and work out daily so it was really about sticking to my routine once I booked the campaign.”

    Hollywood is remembering Taylor Negron, 57, who died Saturday after a long battle with cancer and is known for his role as the Pizza Guy in 1982’s Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

    “I want to inform you that my cousin Taylor Negron just passed away. His mother, his brother Alex and my brother Rene and his wife Julie were all there with him,” his cousin, Chuck Negron, announced in a video. “May he rest in peace.”

    Remembered by Billy Crystal as a “brilliantly funny comedian,
    actor and wonderful painter,” Negron was a very familiar face to movie-goers. People magazine reports that he began his career when he was 19 as an intern for comedic legend Lucille Ball.

  • Khloé Kardashian Considered a ‘Mother Figure’ by Little Sis Kylie Jenner

    Khloé Kardashian is considered a “huge mother figure” to little sis Kylie Jenner.

    In an interview with Cosmopolitan, the 17-year-old model said she feels so much “love and respect” for her half-sister for being a “mother figure” in her life.

    “She has always been the strictest on me – taking away my cell phone, having my passwords to everything,” Kylie told the magazine for its February edition. “It made me love and respect her so much because it just showed that she cared. [She’s a] huge mother figure in my life.”

    But Khloé isn’t the only one in the family to look out for the youngest Keeping Up With the Kardashians sibling.

    “If a guy does one little thing to me, then you’re dealing with, like, six other girls,” Kylie said of the support she receives from her family.

    Meanwhile, the girls mother, Kris Jenner, is struggling over her nest that is emptying more quickly than she would like.

    “Khloé bought a house this year, and Kourtney bought a house this year, and Kendall bought a house this year, and Kim bought a new house this year. I do feel a little bit like it’s an empty nest,” Kris lamented.

  • Katy Perry Re-Ignites Romance With John Mayer, Invites Lenny Kravitz to Superbowl Stage

    Katy Perry is having a very good start to 2015.

    Not only are Perry, 30, and John Mayer, 37, officially a couple once again, she also is preparing to wow the world, along with Lenny Kravitz, at this year’s Superbowl halftime show.

    Nearly a year after breaking up, the Firework singer and Mayer stunned A-list stars when they made a dramatic entrance together on Thursday at Hollywood hot spot the Tower Bar, according to Page Six.

    “Katy Perry and John Mayer walked in together, arm in arm, and the whole room literally fell silent,” an insider told the newspaper, which reported that the couple frequented the restaurant on a regular basis when they were previously dating.

    “Even Dimitri Dimitrov — Hollywood’s most famous maitre d’, who has seen everything — and Sunset Tower owner Jeff Klein both stopped mid-sentence when John and Katy arrived, as if they wanted to announce to everyone in Hollywood they are back together,” said the source.

    It was a busy night at the Tower Bar, according to Page Six. Director and producer Lee Daniels was having dinner at a nearby table with Naomi Campbell. At another table were American Sniper director Clint Eastwood, with a table of powerful Hollywood producers. Liz Goldwyn was spotted with Dita Von Teese, and Kid Cudi was dining with Bryan Greenberg and Jamie Chung.

    Meanwhile, on Saturday, Perry announced via Twitter that Kravitz will join Perry on stage during next month’s Pepsi Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show.

  • Maggie Grace: ‘Taken’ Dad Liam Neeson Prank-Calls Her Ex Threatening to Use His ‘Particular Set of Skills’

    Maggie Grace says her Taken movie-dad Liam Neeson once threatened to use his “particular set of skills” against one of her boyfriends after he hurt her feelings.

    Grace, 31, told Conan O’Brien during an appearance on his show that the protective Neeson once offered to help her set an ex-boyfriend “straight” after she told him she was having a tough time with a breakup.

    ”There was this boy who had really hurt my feelings and was kind of being a hot mess, and Liam was just like, ‘Let’s set this kid straight,’” said said. ”It was great.”

    In a gesture of solidarity for his on-screen daughter, he joined her in a prank call to the guy, with Neeson taking on his tough guy persona to put a little fear into the actresses annoying boyfriend.

    “I don’t need to say it, but I have a particular set of skills, and I don’t want to waste them on you,” Neeson is heard saying in an audio recording of the call.

    ”My man now is just so good to me because look at what hangs in the balance. You know at any point [I could call Liam]. I should call Liam when I get parking tickets, anything… I should be like, ‘Liam, could you…”’

    Grace confirmed the Northern Irish star’s protective nature towards his costar in a Today show interview.

    ”He’s just incredibly protective and lovely, and has a really weird sense of humour.”

    Grace and Neeson are once again teaming up for the third and last installment of the action thriller, Taken 3 which will be released in theaters Friday.

  • Jessica Chastain: From High School Dropout to Hollywood Royalty

    Jessica Chastain may have dropped out of high school as a teen, but she is certainly showing where her talents lie with two Oscar nominations, a Golden Globe award and much critical acclaim.

    The 37-year-old actress told Entertainment Weekly Thursday that she didn’t graduate from high school. Chastain attended Sacramento’s El Camino Fundamental High School, but never received her diploma.

    “Nobody knows this about me — I dropped out of high school,” Chastain told the magazine. “I was not a hard worker. I was a terrible student.”

    Like so many other artistic types, the A Most Violent Year actress was just biding her time until she found her niche in life, and she sure found her niche.

    The Interstellar actress has starred in a slew of big films, including Zero Dark Thirty, Mama, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, and the upcoming Crimson Peak.

    “Eventually I got my adult diploma, but I did not graduate,” said Chastain, who later attended Juilliard through a scholarship from Robin Williams when she was 22. “It wasn’t that I just dropped out and never went back — at the end of the year I had too many absences to graduate… I would cut school and sit in my car, reading Shakespeare.”

    Chastain, who was nominated for an Oscar for her roles in 2012’s Zero Dark Thirty and 2011’s The Help, said her failure to complete high school did effect her confidence.

    “I thought that I wasn’t an intelligent person because I did so poorly,” she said. “There are kids out there that aren’t doing well in school and I hope they never think it means they’re stupid. It’s all about finding where your interest lies and finding what you’re good at.”

    Yep, it’s all about finding your niche in life.

  • Phylicia Rashad Defends Bill Cosby, Calling Accusations an ‘Orchestrated Destruction of a Legacy’

    Phylicia Rashad broke her silence in a big way Tuesday on accusations of sexual misconduct by her longtime co-star Bill Cosby.

    The Tony Award-winning actress told Showbiz 411 Tuesday, during an even for the film Selma, that she doesn’t believe a single word the women accusing the comedian have to say.

    Rashad, who worked with the beleaguered actor for 10 years as Claire Huxtable on NBC’s The Cosby Show, initially declined to comment by saying she didn’t “want to become part of the public debate.”

    However, she then said she had never seen any behavior by Cosby to suggest there is was ever any impropriety or any truth to the decades-old sexual misconduct allegations that have resurfaced in recent months.

    “Forget these women,” Rashad said of the slew of women who accused the actor in the media.

    “What you’re seeing is the destruction of a legacy,” she said. “And I think it’s orchestrated. I don’t know why or who’s doing it, but it’s the legacy. And it’s a legacy that is so important to the culture.”

    But what about supposed legitimate sources like Janice Dickinson, who claims Cosby drugged and assaulted her, and Beverly Johnson, who alleges he drugged her?

    “Oh, please” the 66-year-old actress responded to the question.

    “Someone is determined to keep Bill Cosby off TV,” Rashad said. “And it’s worked. All his contracts have been canceled.”

    She shared her distress that the Cosby Show is now “being destroyed.”

    Rashid also expressed her admiration for Bill’s wife, Camille Cosby, who has publicly denounced accusations against her husband.

    “This is a tough woman, a smart woman,” said Rashad, adding that there is no way she would look the other way if there was any truth to the accusations. “She’s no pushover.”

  • Debbie Reynolds to Receive SAG Lifetime Achievement Award From Daughter Carrie Fisher

    Debbie Reynolds to Receive SAG Lifetime Achievement Award From Daughter Carrie Fisher

    Veteran actress Debbie Reynolds will be this year’s recipient of the Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award.

    In a sweet twist, the multi-talented entertainer will receive her award from her daughter, Carrie Fisher.

    Reynolds, 82, will be honored for a long and successful career that began in the 1950s and includes classic films like Singin’ in the Rain, Tammy, The Unsinkable Molly Brown and How the West Was Won.

    Fisher, 58, is Reynolds’ daughter from her marriage to singer Eddie Fisher. She is best known for playing Princess Leia in the Star Wars films, a role she is reprising for J.J. Abrams’ upcoming sequel.

    The tumultuous mother-daughter relationship was documented in the fictional Postcards From the Edge, written by Fisher. The film was later made into a movie starring Meryl Streep, Shirley MacLaine and Dennis Quaid.

    Fisher also wrote a TV movie, These Old Broads, that starred Reynolds, Shirley MacLaine and Elizabeth Taylor, who caused quite the scandal when she stole Reynolds’ husband, Eddie Fisher, back in the day.

  • Malia Obama’s Unauthorized Photo Creating a Buzz on the Internet

    An unauthorized photo of 16-year-old Malia Obama is creating a buzz on the internet.

    Pro Era, a hip-hop music collective based in Brooklyn, New York, posted a photo of President Barack Obama’s daughter on their Instagram account. The photo shows the teen wearing a T-shirt with the company’s red and green logo on the front, with her hands raised above her head.

    The White House has been very protective of Malia and her 13-year-old sister, Sasha, so the publication of the photo is surprising. In fact, the White House declined comment Tuesday, which some attribute as a sign of White House disapproval of the photo’s distribution.

    The only time the girls are authorized to appear in the media is when they are with Obama and-or first lady Michelle Obama. Otherwise, no mention of their name or use of their image is authorized.

    Bradley Bledsoe, a spokesman for Pro Era, told the Associated Press in an email that “the group received the photo from a mutual friend of Pro Era and Malia, and the photo is real.”

    There is no independent confirmation that the photo is real.

    Bledsoe also confirmed that Pro Era was never contacted by the White House.

    According to the AP, Michelle Obama contacted Ty Inc. to voice her disapproval of the company naming a pair of the popular Beanie Babies toys after the girls. The company renamed them following the First Lady’s complaints.

  • Anne Hathaway Gives Up ‘Disgusting’ Smoking Habit For A Second Time

    Anne Hathaway has given up smoking — for a second time.

    The Les Misérables star told The New York Times Magazine that she has struggled over the years with a smoking habit.

    The first time Hathaway, 32, got hooked was in 2008 when she was filming the Oscar-nominated Rachel Getting Married, in which she played an addict.

    She gave it up for a while, only to pick the habit back up for a second time.

    “I’ve quit,” she told the magazine after quitting for a second time. “I got hooked for a few years.”

    “I had a four-year break, and then actually when I was producing Song One, I started smoking again,” she said. “It’s easy to romanticize it when you haven’t done it in a while, but it’s actually pretty disgusting.”

    She said she is thrilled to be rid of those “disgusting” cigarettes, however, the Interstellar actress said she has nothing against e-cigs.

    “I don’t judge the vape,” she admitted. “I know some people who used to be three-pack-a-day smokers, and I’d much prefer them having the vape. I don’t want to give them any excuse not to vape.”

    Hathaway also admitted that she has another New Year’s Resolution, although she hesitated to mention it.

    “I have one, but I don’t want to mention it because it’s scaring me,” the Oscar-winning actress said. “And it has nothing to do with pregnancy. But it’s not because of a problem. It’s just because why not: I’m going to really prioritize my health this year and not drink, at least not in January. I want to take a month off.”

    With the hashtag #Justinwereready, Bieber fans expressed their excitement over a supposed announcement from the Canadian. Speculation was rampant over what the announcement could be.

    The trending hashtag seemed to stem from a cryptic message that was allegedly from the Biebs early Tuesday, saying “Big day tomorrow. Some stuff I wanted to show you for a while. 🙂 love you.”

    He also tweeted on New Year’s Day: “2015. New beginnings. Get ready.”

    Looks like this is the big announcement that fans were anxiously awaiting.

  • Charlie Sheen Apologizes to Kim Kardashian After Insane Twitter Freakout

    Charlie Sheen is at it — again — and he’s had to apologize — again.

    On Tuesday, Sheen felt compelled to apologize to Kim Kardashian via Twitter after he bashed the reality star in a since-deleted Twitter rant.

    The 49-year-old actor lost it against Kardashian, 34, after he heard that the reality star had allegedly refused to sign an autograph for a six-year-old fan.

    Although the tweets have been deleted, TMZ managed to document the rant before it was gone.

    “She cries about it every night before she goes to sleep,” Sheen wrote. “You are lucky that ANYONE cares about your gross and giggly [sic] bag of funk you dare call an ass.”

    Oh, that’s just the beginning of his tirade.

    “Your public loves u. give something back or go f yourself,” he wrote before mentioning her husband, Kanye West. “My apologies to your hubby, great guy I’m sure, I hope his vision returns one day.”

    After the internet went abuzz with the rant, Sheen deleted the tweet and offered a different sort of message.

    “Dear Kim, my extreme bad,” the Two and a Half Men alum wrote. “Really embarrassed by my actions. I was already pissed about some other crap that had nothing to do with you. I heard a story that bothered me. wrote some trash you didn’t deserve. Ever.”

    He ended his message with: “I’m an idiot as often as I’m a genius. that day, clearly I was the former. xox c #ShutUpSheen.”

    I’m kinda diggin’ that hashtag.

  • Christopher Darden, O.J. Simpson Prosecutor, Says He Is Now ‘Pissed Off’ Over the Outcome of the Trial

    Christopher Darden, the prosecutor in the 1995 historic O.J. Simpson trial that has been dubbed the “trial of the century,” says he is “pissed off” at the outcome of the proceedings that set the football player accused of killing ex-wife Nicole Simpson-Brown free.

    The trial was watched around the world and became the first completely televised court proceeding. At the center of the media circus was Darden and lead prosecutor Marcia Clark. The two of them, as well as some key witnesses for the state, faced incredible scrutiny, criticism and outright ridicule for the handling of the trial.

    Twenty years later, Darden leads a life away from the blaring lights and criticism.

    “Sometimes I get recognized as the O.J. Simpson prosecutor,” he told Oprah: Where Are They Now? “People say, ‘Oh, that’s Darden. Oh, he’s put on weight in 20 years!’”

    Darden, 58, said the backlash was, at times, more than he could take.

    “I was devastated and decimated by the trial,” he said.

    Darden said as the years wore on, depression has been replaced with anger.

    “I don’t think I’m so much as bitter. Now, I think I’m angry,” he says. “I mean, I couldn’t be angry back then. I couldn’t be pissed off, because I’m a prosecutor. But now, I’m just Chris Darden. Now I can just be pissed off.”

    While Darden still practices law, he has switched sides in criminal court proceedings.

    “I’m a criminal law defense attorney,” he says. “And I write a little bit here and there.”

    A father of three with his wife of 17 years, Marcia, Darden said he wouldn’t encourage his kids to pursue law, but wouldn’t be surprised if they did.

    “I have the smartest family anyone could have,” he says proudly. “My children are brilliant children. I don’t think that any of them should pursue criminal law,” Darden says. “But I could certainly see them becoming lawyers.”

  • Kathy Taylor, Pregnant Cancer Fighter Who Inspired Sarah McLachlan, Dies

    Kathy Taylor, a cancer fighter who inspired singer Sarah McLachlan and others by her “strength and courage,” has died in Utah at the age of 34, according to the Deseret News.

    Taylor, who died at her home in Bear River on Wednesday, made headlines for her fight against cancer while pregnant with her sixth child. She was four months pregnant when she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of melanoma.

    Taylor and doctors tried to keep the pregnancy going throughout her treatment, but she gave birth prematurely on Sept. 11 to son Luke, who weighed 1 pound, 15 ounces. He died a few weeks after his birth.

    Taylor was originally diagnosed seven years ago and was declared cancer free after doctors removed melanoma from her back.

    When the cancer returned in June, Taylor and her husband, Nate Taylor, decided to blog the entire experience on their website Kathysmiracle.com.

    McLachlan, who heard the story and was moved by Taylor’s experience, decided to help raise funds to cover Taylor’s medical costs.

    Taylor had recorded McLachlan’s famous song, I Will Remember You, and the singer who called Taylor’s experience “a story of strength and courage” helped make Taylor’s version of the song available on iTunes with all proceeds going to her medical expenses.

    More than $70,000 was raised through various fundraising venues.

    Throughout the ordeal and Taylor’s subsequent death, family members relied on their greatest strength — their faith.

    In a final post on Christmas Eve, Taylor said that she tried to “hang on” until Christmas so she could share the holiday with her family and shared her most heart-felt prayer.

    “I have to admit it has been extremely hard and I pray constantly for strength to endure cheerfully, to be able to continue to be kind and nurturing to my family till the end and I’ve been praying to not be afraid of what the end will look like,” she wrote.

    “I pray for my husband to be comforted,” she continued. “I know this is hard for him. I still trust that God is completely aware and that everything will happen as it should. I will be grateful to be out of pain and with Heavenly Father and Jesus and hope to be able to offer lots of comfort to my family from the other side. I am so grateful they have so many wonderful people to turn to, a merciful God they can always pray to.”

  • Nicole Kidman Says She Is Happier Than She’s Ever Been — ‘I Laugh a Lot More Now’

    Nicole Kidman says she is happier person today than ever.

    In an interview on Tuesday with Matt Lauer for Today, the Paddington actress said life is very different now, especially after moving to Nashville with husband Keith Urban in 2006.

    Lauer questioned Kidman on a statement her friend Sheryl Crow made for Elle Magazine in regards to Nicole’s reputation for being “icy” because she is always “so poised.” Kidman said her reputation partly stems from the roles she chooses, but also attributes her “icy” reputation to her innate shyness that can make her seem standoffish.

    “I am very shy, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve lost some of that shyness,” she said. “And I laugh a lot more now. I’m happier.”

    Kidman, who was on the show promoting her new film Paddington, said she loves the movie because it embraces values like “kindness to strangers” and “kindness to others.”

    Kidman couldn’t help but gush on her life in Nashville, where the simplicity of their world with their daughters, six-year-old Sunday and two-year-old Faith, is everything she’s always dreamed of.

    “We have a very easy, warm, peaceful life,” she said. “That’s something I’ve always wanted and was heading towards, but didn’t know how to find it. I’ve found it now.”

    “We are so blessed and we laugh a lot and play a lot,” Kidman said of the man she decided she wanted to marry after dating for only a month. “I just laugh.”

  • Justin Bieber: Rumored ‘Big Announcement’ Blows Up Twitter

    Justin Bieber is rumored to be making some sort of announcement today, at least according to the Twitterverse.

    With the hashtag #Justinwereready, Bieber fans have expressed their excitement over a supposed announcement from the beleaguered Canadian. It is unclear what he might be announcing. Some seem to think it’s new music or perhaps the announcement of a new tour.

    The trending hashtag seems to stem from a cryptic message that is allegedly from the Biebs early Tuesday, saying “Big day tomorrow. Some stuff I wanted to show you for a while. 🙂 love you.”

    He also tweeted on New Year’s Day: “2015. New beginnings. Get ready.”

    On Monday, Bieber revealed that he fractured or “Broke my damn foot” as he put it while playing soccer in a game between staff and guests at the Parrot Cay private island resort in Turks and Caicos on Jan. 2.

    Post by Justin Bieber.

    With that announcement, fans on Twitter seem to be worrying themselves to death that his injury may prevent the big announcement.

    Only time will tell if there is a legitimate announcement coming from Bieber or a prank. Either way, beliebers sure are enjoying the anticipation.

  • Olivia Newton-John Revisits ‘Summer Nights’ With ‘Grease’ Costar Didi Conn

    Olivia Newton-John was reunited with her Grease costar Didi Conn to sing Summer Nights in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

    Newton-John, 66, and Conn, 63, who played cousins Sandy and Frenchy in the 1978 classic film, reunited on stage at the Flamingo Hotel & Casino as part of Newton-John’s long-term Vegas show.

    Dressed in black and pink jackets much like their characters wore as the Pink Ladies in the film, the two sang the famous song, Summer Nights, transporting the audience back in time.

    The Olivia Newton-John: Summer Nights show features an eight-piece band and features many of the four-time Grammy award-winning singer’s famous songs, including Hopelessly Devoted to You and You’re The One That I Want, Let Me Be There, I Honestly Love You, Please, Mr. Please and Physical.

    Conn reprised her role as Frenchy in the 1982 Grease 2, which was a bit of a bomb and featured Michelle Pfeiffer and Maxwell Caulfield.

    The British-born Australian announced on Twitter in December that Summer Nights – Live in Las Vegas will be released as a two-CD set in 2015.
