  • Mike Trout Is ‘The White Bo Jackson’ Says Adam Jones

    Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones had a good seat for him to see up close and personal how incredible Mike Trout’s performance was Tuesday night during the Major League Baseball All-Star game.

    Trout did something no other player has ever accomplished since Bo Jackson in 1989. The center fielder for the Los Angeles Angels hit a lead-off home-run to give the American league a 1-0 lead over the National League in the first inning.

    Now, that’s one, great way to start an All-Star game!

    He accounted for two homers in the game and was hailed MVP for his outstanding performance.

    Trout didn’t only get a trophy from the other night’s game. He also earned a nickname from Jones and got his physique compared with the greatest part-time baseball player in history.

    “That’s a special talent. He’s just special. I call him the “white Bo Jackson”. I’ve called him white Bo Jackson since he came on the scene. Look at his body. Look at him. It feels like a linebacker.”

    Jackson was named MVP of the historical All-Star game in 1989. He was also a running back and is considered one the best college football players ever.

    Jackson and Jones’ names became popular in social media when people started to take notice of the Jones’ opinion of Trout.

    And they were not really that positive.

    Several tweets were against Jones’ take on Trout’s performance that Tuesday night.

    One upset baseball fan with username @ashxrussell tweeted, “You don’t call somebody the white Bo Jackson. That’s not what you do. It’s not okay. #CainMVP”

    Another netizen disagreed saying, “mike trout’s great but if you call him the white bo jackson i’ll knock the sippy cup out your hand.”

    Although both Trout and Jackson are baseball history makers, the question still remains: “can Trout play football?”

  • Anna Duggar And Sister-In-Law, Jessa, Show Off Their Baby Bumps

    Anna Duggar, wife of scandal-plagued Josh Duggar is expecting their fourth child, but little Duggar is late in getting here. The newest member of the big, big family was supposed to arrive on July 10.

    The Duggar family posted on their official Facebook page a photo of the very pregnant Anna, 27, standing back-to-back with her also pregnant sister-in-law, Jessa. The latter is 23 weeks pregnant. Both the Duggar mothers were cradling their growing baby bumps.

    The photo was posted last Sunday for every 19 Kids and Counting fan and follower to see.

    Well, sweet Anna is now past her due date! First time she has ever gone "late" instead of early! Here she is with our... Posted by Duggar Family Official on Sunday, July 12, 2015
    “Well, sweet Anna is now past her due date!” captioned the said photo. “First time she has ever gone ‘late’ instead of early. “Here she is with our Jessa. Be praying for these girls. Pretty soon we will get to kiss the sweet face of another Duggar grandbaby!!!” Josh and Anna were married last 2008. They confirmed their fourth pregnancy in December. Four months later, they announced that the new addition is a baby girl. The family was subject to controversy in May after Josh confirmed he molested a family babysitter and four of his sisters, which included Jessa and Jill, when he was 14 years old. This resulted in TLC Network canceling the show. Josh went on a low-profile during the wake of his molestation scandal. He also quit his job with a conservative Christian lobby group in Washington, D.C and returned to his home in Arkansas. The fans of the show were quick to point out that Josh was missing from the Facebook photo for Amy Duggar’s engagement to longtime beau Dillon King.
    Posted by Duggar Family Official on Tuesday, July 14, 2015
    A longtime friend of the family tells the Daily Mail “Josh and Cousin Amy are actually the closest in age and grew up together. They are close.” “If the scandal hadn't come to light I have no doubt he would have been happily posing in the group photo.”  

  • Duggar Family Makes Statement After TLC’s Cancellation Of ’19 Kids And Counting’

    TLC announced that they will be canceling the hit reality series 19 Kids and Counting. The network said the show “will no longer appear on the air.”

    The series was centered on the devoutly Baptist Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar who have ten sons, nine daughters and six grandchildren – two of which are still unborn.

    The show has been subjected to controversy since May following the shocking revelations that Josh Duggar molested five underage girls. The event shattered the family’s squeaky-clean image and let thousands of fans and followers down.

    Josh confessed to groping five girls, four of them are his sisters. One of the five underage victims wass their family babysitter at that time. He was 14 years old when he committed the said molestations.

    Josh, now 27, is married to Anna Duggar since 2008. Anna is carrying their fourth child whom they announced is a baby girl.

    TLC insisted the show opened up a “critical and important conversation about child protection.”

    The network will be partnering with the victims’ rights and advocacies groups on a “multi-platform campaign to raise awareness and educate parents and families about the issue.”

    They have confirmed that they would be working with the family one last time to produce a one-hour commercial-free documentary with sisters Jessa, 22, and Jill, 24, who have come forward as victims. They also said that they have already forgiven their brother.

    “We look forward to working with TLC on this upcoming special documentary and hope that it is an encouragement to many.”

    The controversial family responded with their own statement. They hoped that the “painful situation” they went through would help others find “help, hope, and healing.”

    “We are so thankful for our film crew that has shown up at our house for over a decade. They have become like family to us.

    “They have invested their time and energy into our lives and have been so loving and patient. We love and appreciate them so much!”

  • Katie Holmes May Be Engaged To Jamie Foxx, Actress Spotted With Gold Band On Ring Finger

    Katie Holmes was spotted on the streets of New York City with a sparkly gold band on that all-important finger.

    So, are congratulations in order for the former Dawson’s Creek star?

    For a few years now, Holmes, Tom Cruise’s ex-wife has been rumored to be dating Annie star Jamie Foxx, but these rumors heightened again when the two of them were spotted holding hands and playing footsies.

    The photo, which offered a rare-glimpse of the couple’s hidden romance, was snapped by a paparazzi last February, but it was only leaked online a few weeks later. It then got published by Us Weekly in March.

    Despite the constant denial of the two stars, many people still believe that they are going out together. They may even be engaged to each other already.

    Just this Monday, Holmes was spotted strolling along Soho wearing a black and white dress with wet hair. The Woman in Gold actress appeared to be in a hurry. She was holding a cup of coffee from Le Pain Quotidien with her left hand putting the ring in clear view for everyone to see.

    An insider close to the couple revealed to People magazine that Holmes had been visiting Foxx “often” at his home and that they “spend hours together” at a time.

    Another source tells the same mag that, yes, the pair had been spending a lot of time together, but they were just hanging out as friends, saying, “This is not some intense romance.”

    “Jamie and Katie are friends and have been for a long time. They are two adults who are attractive and single, and so apparently conclusions will be drawn,” the source adds.

    “But contrary to those conclusions, they’re not about to run off and make some serious commitment.”

    Well, it looks like we won’t be hearing wedding bells ringing anytime soon…or will we?

  • Lindsey Vonn Admits She Is Still In Contact With Ex Tiger Woods

    Even though Lindsey Vonn and long-time boyfriend Tiger Woods have been broken up since May, the world-famous alpine ski racer admits she and ex are still exchanging text messages.

    Vonn, 30, looked red hot at the 2015 ESPYS on Wednesday, July 15. She stunned the red carpet in a seriously sexy, scarlet, slit dress. In one of her photos during the event, she did her best Angelina Jolie pose.

    The champion skier spoke to an ET red carpet correspondent and opened up about her current relationship with ex-boyfriend, golf legend, Tiger Woods.

    “We have texted a little bit but I haven’t been in touch with him too much,” Vonn said. “He seems like he is doing well.”

    Vonn also admitted that earlier this week, she got up early to watch Woods, 39, compete in the British Open and she helped him out in making the cut.

    Vonn, when asked if she wants to see her ex play, answered.

    “Yeah, I definitely want to. I hope he does well and I will be watching,” Vonn adds. “[His] last tournament was a little better so hopefully things go well for him this week.”

    Unfortunately, things really did not go well for Woods despite his ex’s well wishes. He carded an opening round 4 over par yesterday. This was his worst score at the St. Andrew’s course in Scotland.

    The Olympian dated Woods for three years after meeting at a charity event in 2012. This was his first significant and public relationship since his split from wife, whom he shares 2 kids with, Elin Nordegren.

    In 2010, Nordegren divorced Woods after he admitted to cheating on her with several women. She received $110 million in the divorce settlement.

    Reports say that the real reason of the Woods-Vonn split was that the controversial golfer was been caught cheating again.

  • Christina Hendricks Has A New Gig, Will Star In Sundance TV’s ‘Hap And Leonard’

    Christina Hendricks lands a new job now that Sterling Cooper and Partners is closed.

    The Mad Men star will now be working with a new set of mad men in SundanceTV’s upcoming scripted series Hap and Leonard. She will be acting alongside The Wire star Michael K. Williams and The Following’s James Purefoy.

    Hap and Leonard is based on the novels, novellas, and short stories authored by Joe Lansdale. The series centers on best friends Hap Collins, a white ex-con which will be played by Purefoy, and Leonard Pine, a gay, black Vietnam veteran with anger issues – a character to be played by Williams.

    Both characters “struggle through misadventure in a bid to stay on the right side of the law” in 1980s East Texas.

    Hendricks, 40, will star as Hap’s former wife named Trudy who resurfaces after two years to make an offer Hap cannot refuse.

    Hap and Leonard will air with 6 one-hour episodes. We Are What We Are’s Bill Sage and Breakout King’s Jimmi Simpson will also star in the upcoming series.

    The show is created by director-and-writer Jim Mackle and writer Nick Damici and is produced by Sundance Productions. Nick Shumaker and Jeremy Platt executive produce. Lansdale and Lowell Northrop will co-executive produce and Linda Moran will also produce alongside them.

    Hendricks was nominated for five Best Supporting Actress Emmys for her role as Joan (Holloway) Harris on AMC’s Mad Men.

    Since the end of the award-winning series, she has appeared in Comedy Central’s Another Period and the upcoming mystery movie starring Charlize Theron Dark Places, a film adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s novel of the same name. Hendricks also appeared in Cameron Crowe’s Showtime pilot episode Roadies.

    Hap and Leonard will premiere on SundanceTV in early 2016.

  • Shoshana Roberts Files $500,000 Lawsuit Against Producers Of Viral Cat-Calling Video

    Shoshana Roberts, star of 10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman, says she was paid $200 to be filmed walking through the streets of Manhattan for 10 hours.

    The video caused her to be catcalled more than 100 times and she encountered multiple rape threats directed at her.

    The surreptitiously filmed YouTube video was posted last October and has since been viewed over 40 million times.

    Speaking about the filming process, Roberts told The Post, “I felt like crying and I have occurrences in my past of sexual assault, so I wasn’t even aware necessarily of all the times people were saying things to me.”

    “I was just going over in my head and reliving, unfortunately, these memories while I was walking. I wanted to break down in tears.”

    Roberts, 24, filed suit Tuesday requesting $500,000 for her exclusive performance in the viral video. The lawsuit also named Google, YouTube and T.G.I Fridays as co-defendants for making parodies of the video.

    The majority of men featured in the two-minute clip are black and Latino.

    Rob Bliss, a defendant included in the lawsuit, was the mastermind and director of the video. He admitted in a question-and-answer with Reddit that a lot of white men were taken out of the video.

    Bliss statement was: “Honestly we did have a lot of white dudes in this video, but for whatever reason it worked out that they would be the ones to say something just in passing, or from a distance off camera. This made their screen time fairly short by comparison, but the numbers were relatively similar.”

    He continues, “As the video says at the end, it was upwards of 100+ harassments, so obviously not everything was shown, otherwise we’d have a video that’s too long for internet attention spans.”

    “But really it was across the board, just about everyone said/did something while we filmed,” Bliss ended.

    Hollaback!, an anti-street harassment organization, collaborated with Bliss to promote the video. The organization’s executive director, Emily May, told The Washington Post: “We’ve had a number of rape threats and violent threats against Shoshana and we’re pulling those down as quickly as possible, but they exist.”

  • Brittney Griner Fights Demand For $20k Per Month Spousal Support By Ex-Wife Glory Johnson

    According to ESPN, Brittney Griner is being asked to pay $20,000 for temporary monthly spousal support by former wife and WNBA star Glory Johnson. Court documents filed in June in Maricopa County, Arizona also state that she is requesting a $10,000 advancement for her attorney’s fees.

    The two basketball players were married May 8 – just a few weeks after a domestic violence incident in their Arizona home on April 22 where both of them were arrested. After this event, the WNBA suspended both players.

    Griner filed to annul her marriage to Johnson on June 4 arguing that she was pressured into marriage under duress by Johnson’s threatening statements.

    Stasy Click, Johnson’s legal representative, stated in the filing that Griner has” far superior control over the family’s financial resources” and that Johnson is “without the necessary financial means to pay for legal representation in this matter.”

    The filing also stated that Johnson is unable to seek employment outside of basketball because she is having a high-risk pregnancy. She is pregnant with twins.

    Click stated that Johnson is currently on a slashed salary from the WNBA due to her pregnancy, which also means she will not be able to play overseas this winter.

    It was also stated that Johnson’s insurance does not cover household assistance, personal trainers, and medical care.

    In vitro fertilization, wedding expenses, and furnishing of the home they once shared drained Johnson’s finances, as stated in the filing.

    According to ESPN, Griner declared that “due to the brief marriage, neither side was in need of nor entitled to spousal support.”

    There will be an evidentiary hearing set on August 17 at Maricopa County Central Building in Phoenix for Griner’s petition and Johnson’s counter-petition.

    espnW tried contacting both parties last Monday but were unsuccessful.

  • Halle Berry Says Ex Is A Freeloader, Wants Her Child Support Payments Reduced

    Halle Berry sat at the other end of the courtroom as she prepared to battle with ex-boyfriend Gabiel Aubry over child support payments.

    The Extant actress’ child support trial against the 38-year-old Canadian model began after she filed court documents late last year requesting to reduce the amount of money she is required to pay Aubry to help care for their daughter, Nahla.

    The 48-year-old actress filed for the judge to reduce her child support payments from $16,000 per month to around $3,000 per month. In May of last year, the judge ordered Berry to pay Aubry almost $200,000 per year plus tuition money to support their daughter.

    The former couple split in 2010 after 4 years of being together. They both share joint-custody of their seven-year-old.

    According to gossip website TMZ.com, the X-Men star has no issue with paying for Aubry to look after Nahla when he has physical custody.

    On the other hand, she believes “he is using the money to avoid work” and that the model “needs to get a job.”

    According to the document the actress and her lawyer filed in court last November, Berry said, “There is no case, no law, no logic that says a healthy, active man gets to simply live off child support that the wealthier mother earns.”

    Berry also accused Aubry for spending most of the money for his own needs, which included $700 on fitness, $1,000 on clothing and nearly $2,000 on car expenses amongst others.

    The model claims that he has struggled to find work since Berry’s current husband, French actor Olivier Martinez, beat him up back in 2012. Berry and Martinez also have a 21-month-old son together named Maceo.

    Halle Berry is set to star in the thriller film Kidnap which will premiere on October 9. She will play the role of a mother determined to find her kidnapped son. The film is directed by Luis Prieto.

  • Kelly Ripa Exposed In Skimpy Lingerie Courtesy Of Justin Bieber — ‘No Disrespect’

    Twenty- one-year-old Justin Bieber uploaded a sexy photo of Live! With Kelly And Michael co-host Kelly Ripa on Instagram last Tuesday.

    The monochromatic photo showed the 44-year-old former soap opera actress sprawled on a bed and wearing only a white laced bikini.

    Capped with the message that seeing Ripa gives him a certain feeling, Bieber added a disclaimer that he meant “no disrespect” to the TV personality as he knew she was happily married.

    Wow Kelly makes me feel some type of way no disrespect I know she’s married! #bigcrush

    A photo posted by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on

    The TV host has been married to actor Mark Consuelos for 19 years now, and the couple has three kids: 18-year-old Michael, 14-year-old Lola and 12-year-old Joaquin.

    Ripa and co-host Michael Strahan discussed the snapshot posted on the photo-sharing site on Wednesday during their morning show.

    When Strahan jokingly referred to Ripa as “you sexy mama you”, Ripa expressed her serious opinions in the lightest manner possible.

    The former blue-haired co-host stated that she adored Bieber and has, in fact, attended the singer’s concerts with her daughter.

    But Ripa added that Bieber’s actions were perhaps a hint that the Canadian born-singer needed help, and that she’s concerned.

    The TV personality offered to help Bieber as well, and said that all Bieber has to do is give her a call.

    The blond co-host also revealed what her husband remarked after seeing the photo.

    According to Ripa, Consuelos simply asked “Where did they find that picture?”

    The TV host had a hunch that the photo was grabbed from a Hamptons magazine pictorial, according to Mail Online.

    On the other hand, Bieber has uploaded another photo following Ripa’s hot picture on Instagram. This time, the shot was a shirtless picture of him sitting on the side of a pool.

  • Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Spotted Eating Fresh At Subway

    Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Spotted Eating Fresh At Subway

    Power-couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were spotted acting like common folk, ordering six dollar Subway meals despite being Hollywood multi-millionaires.

    TMZ reported that the paparazzi snapped a photo of Angelina Jolie and her husband Brad Pitt along with some of their six children stopping by at the sandwich chain’s branch in Glendale, California.

    The world famous couple kept things casual for their low-key outing with Pitt wearing a button-down shirt and slacks and topping the ensemble with a brown panama hat; Jolie, 40, wore a striped boat-neck shirt, flats, and her trademark black skinny jeans.

    One of the sandwich artists shared that the couple ordered two Meatball Marinara foot-longs, one Chicken Teriyaki sandwich, a kids’ meal for their younger children. The couple paid a total tab of $44. Pitt, 51, left the excited sandwich artist a plush tip of $6.

    Apparently, the famous husband and wife took advantage of the discount menu.

    One Subway employee told local CBS affiliate KCAL9 that everyone who was in the shop at that time was starstruck by the couple’s surprise visit.

    Grisell Gonzalez, Subway employee, says that the A-List couple were so cute.

    “They were very, like, hugging and kissing and they looked like they were really in love and everything,’ Gonzalez continued.

    The sandwich cruise of the superstar couple was in perfect timing for Subway.

    Just last week, the chain fired their weight-loss pitchman Jared Fogle after recent controversies sparked the FBI to search and investigate his house after a woman accused him of making inappropriate comments about middle-school girls.

    Fogle was famous for losing 245 pounds eating low-calorie Subway sandwiches. The recent revelations shocked most Americans and Subway consumers.

    BusinessInsider.com says, “The fact that the socially-conscious and wealthy couple took their children there sends the message that Subway is a family-friendly choice.”

    “With the Jared Fogle scandal looming, the brand needs this kind of exposure.”

  • Amanda Seyfried Talks About Gender Pay Disparity In Hollywood

    In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Times, Amanda Seyfried has finally spoken out about being victimized as an actress.

    “A few years ago, on one of my big-budget films, I found I was being paid 10 percent of what my male co-star was getting,” the 29-year-old Mean Girls star reveals. “And we were pretty even in status.”

    The movie star did not say which big-budget film and actor she was referring to, but she gave a few guesses as to why this had happened to her.

    “I think people think that just because I’m easy-going and game to do things, I’ll just take as little as they offer,” she said. “It’s not about how much you get, it’s about how fair it is.”

    She then added that it is up to every actress to fight for equal wages and decide if they are willing to walk away from something.

    The Mamma Mia! star also admitted that there is a long way to go before gender pay disparity in the film industry can be considered a thing of the past.

    Her comments echo a national movement fighting for income equality which states that women only make 78 cents for every dollar a man earns.

    The Ted 2 star is only one of the many Hollywood actresses that are willing to fight against unfair pay. Many of those actresses opened up about the sexism they have faced throughout their careers.

    One of those actresses is Boyhood’s Patricia Arquette who used her Academy Award victory as a platform to support wage equality.

    “It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all, and equal rights for women in the United States of America!”

    The black-and-white photographs showcase the Mexican beauty’s glowing and wrinkle-free skin.

    Lucky for us, Hayek shared a few tips on having ageless beauty. She also revealed the worst beauty advice she ever received.

    “You should start Botox. ‘When I was young, they tried to sell me on the idea: ‘if you do it now, then you won’t get the wrinkles,’ ” Hayak said in the interview. “And thank God I didn’t do that.”

    The mother of one admits her own Nuance Salma Hayek line keeps her face flawless.

    “The tension in the skin is beginning to give up,” the actress admits to Allure. “I use my AM/PM serum. I swear it works. I’m not lying! But you have to do it every day.”

    Talking about the shoot, “I got to work with the wonderful Patrick Demarchelier, and he always tries to do the minimum clothes possible. I kept my pants on though.”

    Hayek praised the photographer’s work saying that the final product “looked very nice” and “doesn’t look vulgar”.

    Hayek also shared a few of her opinions on her previous red carpet looks through the years. She admitted that some were good and some weren’t so good. The actress then pointed out the greatest benefit of being a woman saying, “I think we change, and that’s part of the beauty of being a woman,” she explained.

    “We get to be our own canvas every day when you wake up.”

  • Kathie Lee Gifford Embarrasses Daughter Cassidy On National TV

    Kathie Lee Gifford Embarrasses Daughter Cassidy On National TV

    All thanks to Kathie Lee Gifford’s constant anecdotes on Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee, America now knows everything about her daughter Cassidy.

    The up-and-coming actress revealed in the latest issue of PEOPLE how Mom embarrassed her through an on-air overshare on Today.

    Cassidy, 21, says to the mag, “Oh my god, don’t get me started!”

    “I can’t even watch the show anymore.”

    “One time I called her, and she just happened to have her phone for a Today show segment and held it up and was like, ‘Oh, Cassidy’s calling me!’” the young actress gushes.

    “She opens up her old, little, dinosaur flip phone, and of course the cameras zoom in, and there was my number! All of a sudden I had hundreds of creepy texts,” she continues.

    “Like, ‘Really, Mom?!’”

    This mortifying moment not only caused Cassidy to receive creepy text messages from unknown numbers, it also nearly cost her the role for the found-footage horror movie, The Gallows, which was produced by The Purge’s Jason Blum.

    “That was right before I went to do my audition for The Gallows, and I almost didn’t get the film because of that: They just wanted to do a cast of unknowns,” she says.

    At that time, Cassidy was just launching her career. She was also just a student from University of Southern California during her mom’s accidental blab on her show.

    “So that was a huge thing going on, whether they’d give me the role or not: Whether or not she could keep her mouth shut,” the leading lady continues.

    Glad that Kathie Lee “has proven that she kind of can, at least for a little bit,” or else we wouldn’t have been hearing of Cassidy’s leading role on The Gallows which premiered on July 10.

  • Farrah Abraham Pays Daughter $600 To Feel Better About Losing Her Teeth

    Farrah Abraham recently tweeted about her daughter’s new milestone and posted a picture of it which captioned, “Sophia lost her 2 front teeth! Busy #ToothFairy.”

    The 24-year-old Teen Mom OG star played tooth fairy as she celebrated her 6-year-old daughter Sophia losing her two front teeth.

    And what was supposed to be a dollar per tooth, like most parents, was $300 for each of the two teeth Sophia lost.

    Not only that, Abraham left a few set of earrings and necklaces beside the $600 bills and the gift box.

    Living a life in the spotlight, the single mother of one leads a busy life. She stars on the shows Teen Mom OG and Botched while building an empire of erotic novels, sex toys, lip injections, and adult films.

    Abraham admitted that she is aware of the impact her career has had on her daughter.

    “My little Sophia, she’s been going through a hard time right now losing all of her teeth, and she’s not really so secure,” she says on an exclusive interview with Us Weekly.

    “I think it’s really a struggle losing your teeth right now when everyone’s looking at looks. So, she lost her first big tooth, and she’s just like, ‘Mommy, I want teeth like yours!’ and I’ve had my teeth cosmetically done, so they’re looking pretty perfect.”

    When asked if she’d let her daughter have cosmetic surgery in the future, Abraham replied, “You’ll see that my daughter does value how I’ve done my look and invested in myself, and I feel like if [plastic surgery is] not harming her and making her look better, and keeping her healthy into her older years, I have no issues with that.”

    She also added, “I’m going to be supportive because it hurts me to see my daughter worrying about her looks, even while she’s losing her teeth right now, so that’s sad.”

  • Gigi Hadid Moves On From Cody Simpson, Falls In Love With Joe Jonas

    American model Gigi Hadid and Aussie singer Cody Simpson broke up in May.

    Hadid’s rep tells E! News, “They love each other dearly and have split up in hopes that growing on their own paths will bring them together in the future… They remain friends with no hard feelings and are each other’s biggest supporters.”

    There are rumors about him and Selena Gomez dating, but Simpson denies them in an interview saying, “I’m not dating anyone. I haven’t moved onto another celebrity girlfriend.”

    “And just because I haven’t tweeted for the past ten minutes doesn’t mean I’m dead. Seriously, I hear a lot of weird stuff about myself,” Simpson said.

    While rumors about the young singer continue to circulate, Hadid has made headlines of her own. Hadid and Joe Jonas have been seen together a lot since her breakup with Simpson.

    In fact, it was reported that the two have already fallen in love. Their latest appearance together was at Taylor Swift’s Independence Day party at her mansion in Rhode Island.

    A source revealed to Hollywood Life, “Gigi and Joe have totally fallen in love with one another. They want to spend every available minute together; they complete each other’s sentences and never like parting.”

    “Joe makes Gigi so happy; she’s always laughing because he’s got a great sense of humor,” the insider revealed.

    “She also feels so relaxed around him, and feels she can be herself without trying too hard.”

    Hadid and Jonas were also alleged to have dated during a short break-up between the model and Simpson. Jonas was Swift’s former boyfriend, but the insider says TayTay has given the couple her blessing.

  • Jamie Lee Curtis Will Fight Three Killers In ‘Scream Queens’ Says Series Creator Ryan Murphy

    Fox’s new horror-comedy anthology gave fans and attendees something to “scream” about on Sunday during Comic-Con 2015 in San Diego, California.

    One particular star received massive applause at the joint American Horror Story and Scream Queens presentations at the convention.

    And that star was Jamie Lee Curtis. The 56-year-old actress made her first trip to Comic-Con after jokingly admitting that she was “selling yoghurt that could make you s— for six years.”

    The panel consisted of Scream Queens cast members namely Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Skyler Samuels, Abigail Breslin, Billie Lourde, and Keke Palmer. They were also joined by the cast of American Horror Story and Ryan Murphy, the co-creator of the two horror-themed shows.

    The former Halloween heroine will star on Fox’s new show as Cathy Munsch, a dean to a college where a serial killer is on the loose.

    Ryan Murphy admitted, “When we were writing the pilot of this, I asked to meet Jamie Lee, who I had loved forever.” When the two met he told her, “Look if you don’t do this show we’re not going to do it. And I meant it.”

    “If you’re going to hire Jamie Lee Curtis, you want to see her kicking ass and fighting back,” Murphy said. “We’re actually writing a scene now where she’s fighting three killers.”

    The series is actually an homage to Curtis who has long worn the Scream Queen crown since playing Laurie Strode in the Halloween series back in 1978.

    In the second episode of the new show which will premiere on September 22 on Fox, Curtis says, “There is a wordless homage I threw in just as my tipping of the hat to all the Laurie Strode fans out there.”

    The actress flaunted her fiancé’s gift and highlights from her party in a series of snaps she excitedly shared with her 4.2 million followers on Instagram last Friday.

    Manganiello, star of Magic Mike XXL, gave his birthday girl fiancée a shirt with a print of himself shirtless and photoshopped as a centaur. The shirt shows off the actor’s chiseled chest and sexy stare and Vergara looked very excited to wear it.

  • Wonder Woman: Gal Gadot Talks About Becoming A Superhero At Comic-Con 2015

    “The Women Who Kick Ass” panel at the Comic-Con International 2015 in San Diego, California featured a group of great actresses who are badasses at kicking bad-guy-butt.

    These actress came to the convention to discuss their characters. The panel also talked about women in media, future roles for women in the genre, and their inspirations for their characters.

    Actresses Gwendoline Christie of the Game of Thrones, Haley Atwell of Agent Carter, Gal Gadot who stars as the new Wonder Woman in Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Jenna Coleman of Doctor Who, and Kathy Bates from the American Horror Story gathered together at Hall H in San Diego on Saturday.

    At the convention, Gadot was welcomed by rousing applause. The stunning Israeli actress talked about the first time she put on her Wonder Woman suit: “We got into another room and I saw the costume for the first time. And we had a fitting, and it was an out-of-body experience — there I was, little Gal from Israel becoming Wonder Woman.”

    “I think it really represents the Wonder Woman of today, I’m very grateful to be the one who is going to bring her to life,” Gadot, 30, says.

    A fellow Israeli spoke Hebrew to Gadot and asked her to share her experience and success in Hollywood coming from “our very small country.”

    Gadot replied, “All the clichés are right. I really believe now that it doesn’t matter where you come from… if you’re persistent and if you’re good, if you’re trying your best and being proactive.”

    Fans can watch Gal Gadot play Wonder Woman in theaters coming March 2016.

  • Jennifer Garner Spotted In Atlanta Still Wearing Wedding Ring

    Two weeks after Beniffer’s decision to end their 10-year marriage, Jennifer Garner was seen this weekend still wearing her wedding band while out on an errand in Atlanta, GA.

    The former Alias heroine wore a plain white, round-neck shirt and black shorts for the casual day out on the A last Saturday.

    Last Sunday, the mother of three stepped out again with the ring still on her finger. Garner, 43, kept things casual and easy wearing a pastel patterned shirt and blue pants.

    Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, Ben Affleck, made his first public appearance after his divorce announcement.

    Affleck, 42, looked a lot less haggard and grim as he was since his family’s return from their vacation to the Bahamas.

    He attended the Warner Bros.’s presentation during Comic-Con International 2015 at the San Diego Convention Center. While promoting his new film, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Affleck was photographed also wearing his wedding ring.

    Praise be ye almighty hair stylist and makeup artist! They did a great job in erasing years from the new Batman. He came out at the convention last Sunday sporting his new red-blonde hair and a more polished beard.

    The award winning actor/director spent most of the past week with the rest of his family in Georgia before jetting out to California for the convention.

    Garner’s family currently lives in her $2 million dollar rental property in Atlanta as she continues filming her upcoming faith-based movie Miracles from Heaven. Affleck stays in the guest house of the pricey property.

    The couple plans on living together in their Los Angeles home as they go through the divorce.

    A source says, “These are two people who really tried to save their marriage and worked really hard at it.”

  • Kelly Ripa Goes Blue, TV Host Changes Hair Color

    Kelly Ripa, host of Live! With Kelly and Michael, has done it again – and by it, we mean her hair.

    The 44-year-old star showed off her brand new hairstyle on Thursday on her show. After spending 5 hours in her stylist’s chair a day before the broadcast, Ripa finally ditched her pastel pink hair to a bright blue hue.

    Thanks to hair colorist and style genius Ryan Trygstad, Ripa now sports a mermaid-esque hair color. “I wanted to try blue because I tried pink and I really liked it. We dyed it blue and it turned lime green. Mark [Consuelos] came downstairs and he said ‘Oh my gosh, you look like the lucky charms guy.’”

    “[The kids] think I look like a superhero!”

    The Live! host uploaded a photo of her freshly dyed hair on Instagram with a caption, “Shady’s back, tell a friend….” Trygstad shared a shot of the mother of three on the app right after he finished the makeover.

    The shady lady’s brand new hue perfectly complements her tanned skin. During the show, she wore a pale pink, long-sleeved top and a long, grey skirt to further accentuate her bright blue locks.

    The host looks pretty pleased with the results of the coloring although she says to Michael Strahan, her co-host, “What’s sad is that I get two shampoos and then it’s back to normal.”

    Ripa says she loves trying out new looks and hairstyles, saying, “Every time I get ready to go on vacation I dye my hair a different color. It’ll wash out. This will wash out, I just haven’t washed my hair yet.”

    “I get bored. I think I might go red next.”

    Clearly Trygstad’s stylist chair is so super comfortable that Ripa just can’t seem to get off of it.
