  • Erin Andrews Gets Payback From Basketballer Marshall Henderson

    They say that what goes around comes around. And that’s certainly the case for Marshall Henderson who waited two years to get back at Erin Andrews.

    After Ole Miss guard Marshall Henderson was suspended from the team for a failed drug test, the FOX Sports reporter took a jab at the player and tweeted “He mocking anyone now?” along with a link to a news report.

    The NCAA rebel promptly fired back and warned Andrews that he’ll be remembering that particular burn with his tweet “@ErinAndrews ima save that and you will be the first person ill mock.

    The suspension did hurt Henderson’s NBA dreams and for the next two years, he played in other countries, most recently in Baghdad, Iraq. But he was apparently quietly biding his time all along, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

    And that opportunity happened when Andrews’ NHL player boyfriend Jarrett Stoll was arrested for having cocaine and ecstasy on his person on April 17.

    The L.A Kings player was caught with 3.3 grams of cocaine and 8 grams of the substance known as Molly during a security check at the WetRepublic pool party.

    Henderson was quick to capitalize on the issue and took to Twitter to take a jab at the Dancing with the Stars host.

    While Henderson might find the incident amusing, it’s a good bet that Stoll is not laughing as the incident could hurt his already dwindling prospects with the L.A Kings. The athlete has been on a downwards spiral and had a career low of 17 points in 73 games this season.

    Going back to Henderson, it seems his quest for vengeance has already been sated. His tweet has already been removed from his feed.

    It’s so refreshing to see that not everyone has a short memory these days.

  • Johnny Depp And Amber Heard’s Marital Woes Caused By Photographer Friend?

    Johnny Depp’s jealousy over wife Amber Heard’s friend are said to be causing problems in their marriage.

    Reports claim the newlyweds have been living separate lives and have not been seen together since their marriage in February.

    Adding fuel to this fire was Heard’s solo outing at the premiere of her movie When I Live my Life Over Again while Depp was partying up a storm elsewhere.

    But sources close to the couple are pointing their fingers at photographer iO Tillett Wright as the main source of the couple’s conflict.

    Wright is an artist, director, photographer and an LGTB activist known for her project “Self Evident Truths,” a series of portraits she has taken of people who have identified themselves as “anything other than 100% straight.”

    Wright and the 28-year-old Heard, who is openly bisexual, first became friends in 2012, the same year that she started dating Depp. At one point, Wright even moved into the Alice in Wonderland actor’s guest house at Heard’s insistence.

    But the 21 Jump Street hunk isn’t thrilled with his wife’s close friendship with Wright and thinks the two “were spending too much time together for it to be comfortable.” Wright has since moved out of Depp’s house.

    Wright and Heard are undeniably close, and the two have been seen out and about in New York recently, appearing at the Tiffany & Co. Blue Book event and at the Adderall Diaries after-party.

    However, it appears that Depp and Heard also want to put the issues about the state of their marriage to rest as the two arrived in Australia together recently.

    Depp and Heard looked happy as they touched down in Brisbane. The couple was holding hands, with Depp’s injured right hand still wrapped in a red bandanna. Eyewitnesses say that the two were still wearing their wedding bands, although Heard’s ginormous engagement ring was noticeably missing.

  • Scott Disick Talks About Sex With Kourtney, Gives Her A Trim For Nude Photo Shoot

    Scott Disick went full-on douche in a recent episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

    In a clip that was deleted from last week’s episode, the self -proclaimed Lord dissed both Kourtney’s pubic hair and having sex with her while pregnant. What a class act this guy is turning out to be!

    After listening to Khloe talk about her landscaping plans, Disick mentions his disbelief that the mother of his three children “was nice enough to landscape herself for a photo shoot but would never do that for [his] own purposes” (dude apparently didn’t get the memo that a woman’s pubes are for her own purposes).

    Disick was apparently still a little touchy over Kourtney’s nude, pregnant photo shoot with Brian Bowen Smith. Disick wasn’t too happy with the idea of his longtime partner doing the shoot with untrimmed pubic hair and hounded Kourtney to trim it.

    “When her stomach is hanging over things, I don’t think she gets how unkept her lawn can get,” he said. “I think she forgets hair still grows downstairs.”

    It turns out Kourtney is OK with the idea of shaving her pubes but needed help. After all, shaving down there when one is heavily pregnant is a big challenge.

    But it’s a challenge Disick is willing to take on.

    “If I have to get my hands dirty I will,” was his response.

    And since they’re on the subject of awkward things you should not be discussing about your sister, Khloe also asked Disick if it was awkward to have sex with the pregnant Kourtney.

    The KUWTK hanger-on waxed poetic and described it as “real bad” before striving to give a better description.

    “It’s kind of just like a boat that capsizes,” Disick explained. “You know, you just tip it over and hope she doesn’t fall off the bed. It’s bad. It’s real bad.”

    Wow.

  • Bobbi Kristina Is Indeed ‘Awake’, Bobby Brown’s Lawyer Clarifies Statement

    There might be some truth to Bobby Brown’s hopeful exclamation that his daughter Bobbi Kristina “is awake,” but it’s just not in the way he hopes.

    Days after his announcement that “my baby’s awake” during a performance at the Verizon Theatre in Texas, the singer’s attorney clarified his remarks about Bobbi Kristina’s condition.

    Lawyer Christopher Brown admitted that “Bobbi Kristina’s condition has changed since moving from Emory University Hospital and there has been improvement” and added that her doctors have indicated that she’ll live.

    “However, Bobbi Kristina is presently embarking on a rehabilitation process and the quality of her life will not be known for years to come,” Brown said.

    Aside from Brown’s earlier statement, the news of Bobbi Kristina’s recovery was further fueled by a Facebook post from her aunt Tina, who said the 22-year-old “woke up and is no longer on life support.” However, other sources close to the family said she was still in an unresponsive state. Brown’s wife, Alicia Etheredge-Brown, also gave a statement about her husband’s comments, clarifying that he was in “an emotional state” when he said them.

    “He is encouraged by the steps that Bobbi Kristina has made since her hospitalization,” she explained. “She has made it out of ICU, opened her eyes and started a rehabilitation that will be long and hard.”

    But an insider disclosed that even though Bobbi Kristina has opened her eyes, she’s still unresponsive and has to rely on a ventilator to breathe.

    The only child of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina was found unresponsive in her bath tub last Jan. 31. She was placed in a medically induced coma while being treated for head injuries. Doctors attempted to bring her out of the coma last February but had to put her back under after she had several violent seizures.

    She has since been transferred to a private rehabilitation center – possibly in anticipation of a long recovery process.

  • Nick And Vanessa Lachey Reveal Their New Baby’s Face

    We first saw her as a cute Easter Bunny, complete with the fluffy tail. Now we can finally see how cute Vanessa Lachey’s daughter really is in a family photo she recently uploaded.

    The 34-year-old model shared a lovely photo of her family on her website as a way to thank their fans.

    The beautiful photo, shot by Justin Coit, showed the former MTV VJ and her husband Nick Lachey dressed in matching beige outfits, with their 2-year-old son Camden being held between them. Baby daughter Brooklyn Elizabeth sleeps peacefully in her mother’s arm.

    The photo, simply titled Proud Parents, also carried the message “Family is EVERYTHING! Love, The Lacheys.”

    The TV host also sent some love to her fans, writing “PS: Thank You ALL so much for the love and support you continue to give to me and my family. I am very appreciative and grateful!”

    “Let me know your thoughts on the website and what you’d like to see more of. Recipes? Party Ideas? Fashion? Mommy Ideas? I can’t wait to hear your thoughts. X,” the new mom also added.

    The new addition to the family was born on January 5 and the proud mama was very open about the love she felt for her daughter on her website.

    And she’s not the only one. In a recent interview, the 98 Degrees crooner gushed about his baby girl, describing her as “awesome.”

    “She’s a great sleeper and eater,” Lachey said. “It’s fun now, she’s starting to smile, so we’re starting to see her personality come in.”

    The singer also apparently finds having children not as nerve-wracking as some described.

    “It’s not that crazy. When you’ve had one, you kind of know a little better what to expect with No.2,” the new dad optimistically said.

    Let’s hope he doesn’t change his tune once the kids hit their teens.

  • Christina Aguilera: Songstress Takes On Country Music, Performs At ACM Awards

    Christina Aguilera has shown that she can do pretty much anything she sets her mind to.

    The sexy songstress is already an accomplished singer-songwriter and is currently one of the coaches on The Voice.  But on Sunday, Aguilera showed her more laid back, country side when she performed with the Rascal Flatts at this year’s Academy of Country Music Awards.

    During the event, which was co-hosted by Aguilera’s fellow The Voice coach Blake Shelton, the diva started out slow as she performed her Nashville hit “Shotgun” before seamlessly moving into the Rascal Flatt’s hit “Riot.”

    The singer was excited about her country performance, even tweeting about it before the show. And even though it was her first time to perform at the ACM’s, the 34-year-old singer looked completely at ease.

    Wearing a white, figure hugging dress paired with a denim jacket and a half-ponytail, the “Beautiful” singer put her powerful voice on display during her performance of “Shotgun,” a song that was written for her character on the TV show Nashville.

    Coincidentally (or not), Aguilera is portraying Jade St. John on the show, a pop singer who also wants to bust out in the world of country music. The pop star showed real commitment to her character, changing not just her sound but also her looks for her 3-episode performance.

    Fans can hear “Shotgun” again when she performs it from the Bluebird Café in this week’s episode of Nashville.

    The singer has admitted to a strong connection with the song.

    “I really love the song. It speaks to long-lasting love, the roads it takes, the turns it makes and how it lasts forever,” she explained in an earlier interview. “When I perform it, I really think of that older couple who have been through it all and who have stood the test of time with the changes that their relationship goes through.”

  • Scott Disick Gets Drunk Again, Hits Kris Jenner In the Head

    Bet Kris Jenner is totally regretting letting Scott Disick convince her to celebrate her birthday in Vegas.

    In a recent episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kourtney’s baby daddy was totally wasted during Kris Jenner’s birthday party – barely able to stand and getting rowdier by the minute. At one point, he even hit the birthday celebrant on the head with a champagne cork!

    The night was a disaster from the get-go. Jenner was enjoying a quiet dinner with boyfriend Corey Gamble and her friends when Disick arrived late, and it was obvious he already had a few drinks in him.

    The self-proclaimed Lord was rude to the birthday girl and her friends and was openly drinking, something that got the reality mom understandably worried.

    “I’ve really got to get him to slow down or we’ve got a huge problem,” Kris confesses.

    Unfortunately, things went from bad to worse when they got to 1Oak. By this time, the professional party animal is already so drunk he can barely stand. But he still had the energy to try and rap while spraying people with champagne, including Kris.

    The Kardashian matriarch understandably flipped out after being hit by a champagne cork and started screaming at Disick.

    “What the f*** are you doing?” she yelled. “You f***ing hit me in the head.”

    However, that Disick was a far different Lord from the one who showed up at Kourtney Kardashian’s 36th birthday party.

    Maybe it was an attempt at making amends, but Disick was sober (and somber looking) during this Las Vegas party.

    The bash, which was also held at 1Oak, was relatively drama free and the eldest Kardashian sister appeared to have enjoyed herself, despite the fact that the rest of her family was a no-show.

    The KUWTK mainstay was presented with an ultra large cake before she partied the rest of the night away.

  • Felicity Jones: Details On Her Role In ‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ Revealed

    The recently concluded Star Wars Celebration has given Star Wars and Felicity Jones fans new hope.

    The 4-day celebration of everything Star Wars opened with the teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and concluded with news that teased about Star Wars: Rogue One.

    While it has long been confirmed that Jones will be starring in the first of the Star Wars “anthology films”, very little information has been given about it. Until last Sunday’s teaser video and short panel discussion, that is.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens [Trailer]

    Director Gareth Edwards confirmed the movie is set in the tumultuous times between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope – when the Jedi Knights were all but extinct and the Emperor is already tightening the noose around other confederate planets.

    The plot revolves around a group of rebel soldiers who are out to steal the plans for the Death Star, a critical mission that fueled the events in Episode IV. Jones is slated to play the rebel soldier who leads the heist.

    Edwards said during the conference that “the absence of Jedi is omnipresent” in the film and the idea that this group of fighters are just ordinary soldiers, without light sabers or the ability to call on the Force, is what makes the story compelling.

    And it’s also what made Jones perfect for the role. She’s the “complete package” according to the erstwhile Godzilla director.

    “We wanted to see fear, warmth, all those aspects that everybody has,” he said, adding that people will see Jones’ character not just as a soldier, but also as a complex individual.

    The actress is on a roll right now. After her heartbreaking portrayal of Jane Hawking in The Theory of Everything, Jones will be seen next in True Story, acting opposite Jonah Hill and James Franco.

  • Bobby Brown Surprises Crowd, Says Daughter Bobbi Kristina Is Awake

    Bobby Brown is staying positive about his daughter Bobbi Kristina’s condition.

    The former New Edition singer told the audience during his set at the Frankie Beverly concert that Bobbi Kristina is “awake” and that “she’s watching me.”

    The happy news was greeted by cheers from the stunned audience.

    However, it’s unclear whether Brown was talking about his daughter in the figurative or literal sense as sources close to the family have previously said that the 22-year-old Bobbi has yet to wake up.

    When asked for clarification about Brown’s statement, his attorney Chris Brown just acknowledged his awareness of what the singer said but added that “no additional comment will be made at this time.”

    Bobbi Kristina is the only daughter of the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. She has been in a medically induced coma since being found face down in her bathtub on Jan.31. Doctors have tried bringing her out of the coma but the attempts have always resulted in seizures.

    It’s been an emotional few months for Brown and it appears that it will just keep getting harder. The 46-year-old father has reportedly not left his daughter’s side since the incident and has been the one making the decisions regarding her medical care.

    But insiders say that he has yet to make the hardest decision yet – whether to take his daughter off life support or not. Sources close to the family have admitted that Bobbi Kristina has little to no chance of recovery, but Brown is not yet ready to give up on his daughter.

    The R&B singer has talked a little about his struggles to his fans during the Soul Food Festival in Los Angeles.

    “Rough times are rough times. Hard times are hard times,” he said. “I don’t know what the hell I’m going through right now, but I’m giving it to God.”

  • Tilda Swinton Gets Poetic Over Amy Schumer

    Time‘s 100 Most Influential People might be a mixed bag of the world’s movers and shakers, but it also showcases some oddball pairings and interesting prose, like what Tilda Swinton penned for Amy Schumer.

    The comedienne has shot to Time‘s list like a bullet and Swinton was given the enviable task of writing Schumer’s accompanying blurb.

    The result was a quirky piece of writing that culminated in a poem; a combination of fantasy and realism that is so like Swinton herself.

    The ethereal actress described the funny lady as everyone’s dream girl, a real woman who had guts and brains and looks. She added Schumer was the one “at the back with the quick, dangerous eyes” before concluding with a short poem –

    Amy’s got your back.

    She’s in your corner.

    She’s an honesty bomb.

    And she’s coming for you.

    The quirky blurb is as insightful as it is real, which given the two’s relationship, is understandable.

    Swinton and Schumer’s pairing might be baffling to some but like olives and white chocolate, their combination works well together.

    The two have become close friends after working together on the upcoming film Trainwreck.

    So Swinton’s admiration for the comedienne is not one-sided. The Inside Amy Schumer headliner has also been very open and unapologetic about her love for the actress.

    During the Gotham Independent Film Awards, Schumer described the time she spent with the thespian as “life-changing and heart stopping.”

    And aside from Swinton being the greatest and coolest friend ever , she’s also undeniably sincere.

    “And you know she’s not blowing smoke up your ass, because there’s literally nothing you can do for her,” is how the stand-up comedienne explained it.

    Aside from Schumer, other celebrities who are included in this year’s Time‘s 100 Most Influential People are power couple Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Emma Watson and Bradley Cooper.

  • Jenny McCarthy Has A Very Low Opinion Of ‘The View’, Says Show Won’t Last Much Longer

    If Jenny Mccarthy is to be believed, fans of The View better enjoy the show while it’s still on air.

    Barbara Walters’ former co-host has a pretty low opinion on the chances of the talk show still remaining on air for much longer because of the producers’ serial dating tendencies.

    “It’s like a serial dater. Stick with one boyfriend and don’t go on Tinder,” the actress said of The View’s tendency to keep changing sets, background and even hosts.

    The show is admittedly notorious for the quick turnaround of hosts in recent years.

    McCarthy left the show after only one season, along with show stalwart Sherri Shepherd. Since then, The View has welcomed Nicole Wallace, Rosie Perez and Rosie O’Donnell (who was welcomed twice) and a slew of guest panelists.

    O’Donnell has already left the show (again) and there have been rumors that Perez is also on the way out.

    According to McCarthy, the problem is that the producers are afflicted with a bad case of instant gratification.

    “If it doesn’t boil quick, you’re out,” she said. “I feel like they’re not allowing anything to grow.

    Going back to her dating metaphor, the 42-year-old McCarthy believes the solution is to “give that relationship all you’ve got and ride through the bumps and waves.”

    Since the new Mrs. Donnie Wahlberg seems to have figured The View out, would she be willing to go back and help keep it afloat?

    “No, thank you,” was her answer to an offer one producer made. “Because I couldn’t be me,” she explained.

    And being herself is apparently very important to the blonde bombshell.  Luckily, her new show Dirty, Sexy, Funny on SiriusXM allows her to be herself and more, something that the funny lady is grateful for.

    “I’ve never been more happy with a job in my entire life…I get to be myself,” she raved about her new show.

  • Rachel Weisz Is On Fire, Has Two Movies Competing In Cannes Film Festival

    Rachel Weisz has been busy. The British-born actress has 2 movies slated to compete at next month’s Cannes Film Festival.

    The Mummy star is one of the most versatile actresses around. She has done everything from action to drama to horror and has shown that she acquits herself well in any genre.

    And she’ll be showcasing that versatility again next month when she pits her talents against Jane Fonda and Michael Caine in La Giovinezza. She’s also in The Lobster with Colin Farrel.

    La Giovinezza is a poignant film about two old friends, a conductor and a film director, who are on vacation in the Alps. It follows their interaction with their children and other hotel guests. Aside from Weisz, the Italian-directed movie boasts of a powerhouse cast.

    The star then goes pseudo-futuristic in The Lobster with Colin Farrel. The movie, by Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos, mixes sci-fi with comedy, romans and drama. Set in the hopefully not so near future, The Lobster is about a world where “single people are obliged to find a matching mate in 45 days or are transformed into animals and released into the woods.”

    After her foray into Cannes’, Weisz goes back to what she does best – tugging at our heartstrings.

    The actress is currently filming M.L Stedman’s novel The Light Between Oceans. Stedman’s riveting masterpiece has been on the New York Times bestseller list for a while now. The novel tells the story of a lighthouse keeper and his wife who finds a baby, along with a dead man, in a rowboat that was washed ashore. Michael Fassbender portrays the lighthouse keeper while Weisz is a woman living on the mainland whose husband and baby daughter mysteriously disappeared.

    And if you still can’t get enough of the beautiful actress, Weisz is also working on two other projects – a biopic about yachtsman Donald Crowhurst and an undetermined project that will be helmed by Joshua Marston (Maria Full of Grace).

  • Jaden Smith Shows Off Creativity With New Track “Offering”

    While other teenagers in Hollywood are busy fist pumping at music festivals and just basically living life on the fast-lane, Jaden Smith begs to stand out.

    Recently, the Karate Kid has been on the headlines for his witty Twitter feeds and adventurous style. Although some critics tried to take a jab at the young star, many were fascinated by his impressive display of creativity. Surely, more will be impressed after they get to hear Smith’s new track entitled “Offering.”

    On April 14, Smith released his new single via his younger sister Willow’s Soundcloud account. He also shared the song on his Twitter feed. In his tweet, Smith included a link to the song with the caption, “This Is My Offering To The World… One Day… We Will All Understand.”

    The lyrics of Smith’s new song were so profound for a 16-year-old. There was a part in the song where he rapped about his dad and about beating “the system.” Smith sang, “My dad said to beat the system, understand it first. My dad’s an inspiration, I respect the man and work. And everything you say is something that you can’t reverse. Something that you can’t rehearse.”

    The young star even went deeper as he continued with the song. Some of his lyrics went, “Dancing with the devil won’t repeat the last century. Evolution probably mentioned me. Penitentiaries, they fillin’ up, that’s why they killing us. Probably see the flaws in the matrix if you real enough.”

    In their household, the Smith siblings were raised to think artistically and creatively. Their mother, Jada Pinkett-Smith revealed this in previous interviews. Apparently, the young actor’s creative skills are not limited only to formulating mind-boggling tweets and lyrics but also in making his own furniture.

    Just this week, Smith uploaded a couple of snaps on his Instagram account that show him assembling his own bed frame. He captioned one of the photos, “Just Finished My New Bed… Sweeve.”

    A photo posted by Jaden Smith (@christiaingrey) on

    Recently, Smith has gotten flack for breaking fashion norms by wearing a dress. However, the young star was able to handle the issue calmly. His cool reaction was something unexpected from a teenager his age. While others might be a little surprised by how well Smith navigated through the issue, his father, the multi-talented actor Will Smith, sure isn’t.

    A photo posted by Jaden Smith (@christiaingrey) on

    In an interview with Esquire magazine, the youngster’s father said that his son is different from other Hollywood kids. The elder Smith explained, “He has refused to be a slave to money. I so respect that.”

  • Kenan Thompson Takes A Jab At Bill Cosby, Calls Him A ‘Monster’

    Comedian Kenan Thompson reportedly had some choice words to say about Bill Cosby.

    The Saturday Night Live member had a standup gig at the University of Pittsburgh last Monday. In addition to having his audience rolling in the aisle with laughter over his antics and impersonations, Thompson also got serious and talked about career struggles, his marijuana use, some social issues and Bill Cosby.

    According to the university’s student paper The Pitt News, Thompson credited the legendary funny man as one of his inspirations but he also called him a “monster” for the series of sexual assault allegations that were leveled against him.

    But there was more that the school paper didn’t touch on. According to a post by Reddit user Definitely_Ambiguous, when Thompson “brought, like, his mom to see Cosby and he was creepy and bounced her on his lap and said something about horse riding like a kiddie..” Thompson also noticed something hinky about the veteran actor’s comments to him during his Fat Albert stint but didn’t read anything into it. Until the allegations started coming out.

    The embattled actor has repeatedly faced allegations of sexual assault for years. But the issue came to light again as a result of social media. Since then, the public has been treated to accusations from women who claim that the Cosby Show’s father figure drugged them before forcing himself on them.

    Thompson might be disappointed at Cosby, but he kept his comments relatively “light” as he did the Cosby impersonations he’s known for.

    While public perception might have turned against Cosby, the man still has his supporters. Among them is comedian Eddie Murphy. The voice of Donkey was asked to impersonate Cosby on SNL‘s 40th anniversary episode but he was said to have turned it down. Cosby later thanked him for that.

  • Alexis Roderick And Billy Joel Are Having A Baby Girl?

    Mazel Tov! Piano Man Billy Joel and his longtime girlfriend Alexis Roderick are expecting their first child together.

    The happy news was shared by a rep for the Grammy Award-winning rocker. The rep also added that Billy and Alexis want “to keep any further details of her pregnancy under wraps until their new addition makes an official debut.”

    While their decision to keep mum about the baby is admirable, it doesn’t mean the people around them are keeping quiet. Sources close to the couple have said the new baby is a girl and that they plan on calling her Madison.

    The couple has been dating since 2009 and according to Alexis, they met at a restaurant in Long Island.  They didn’t start any fires that night, but the two became friends before they hooked up.

    This is Alexis’ first child and Billy’s second one. The 65-year-old Piano Man is also proud dad to singer-songwriter Alexa Ray, his daughter from his previous marriage to model Christie Brinkley.

    The job of rocking the new baby to sleep will probably fall to Billy, but it won’t be to any new songs of his. The “Uptown Girl” singer has no plans to record a new album, despite prodding by friends like Elton John.

    And according to Billy, his usual response to Elton whenever the conversation steers to that topic is a cheeky “Why don’t you make less albums?”

    In the meantime, the couple intends to take things slow and easy.

    The 33-year-old Alexis has been keeping a low profile and hasn’t been going out as much as she used to do to avoid attracting attention. The former financial advisor has also taken to wearing loose and airy dresses to minimize the scrutiny to her belly.

    There’s also no indication that the two will be tying the knot anytime soon. Although, there have been reports that Billy has given Alexis an engagement ring.

  • Kelsey Grammer’s Guilt Over Sister’s Rape And Murder Led To His Drug Use

    Kelsey Grammer is one brave soul. The actor faced his sister’s killer last year and told him that he forgave him.

    More importantly, Grammer has also finally forgiven himself.

    The actor, who is about to hit 60, is known for his charming portrayal of know-it-all psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane on Cheers and Frasier. But behind the witty remarks and deadpan humor lies a world of pain.

    Grammer’s younger sister Karen was abducted, raped and killed by spree killer Freddie Glenn and two accomplices. She was only 18.

    The tragedy nearly destroyed Grammer, a fact that he admitted to in a recent Vanity Fair interview.

    “That was the time when I could not forgive myself for my sister’s death,” he explained about the self-destructive phase he went through at the height of his career.

    “I know a lot of people who’ve lost their siblings and blame themselves,” he said. “It’s hard to explain. It’s not rational. But it happens anyway.”

    And that guilt of not being able to protect his younger sister led him to alcohol and cocaine.

    But they say time, experience and love can help us deal with pain in a better way.

    For the Finding Neverland actor, it’s Kayte Walsh, the woman who has “changed my heart, which was a bit calloused and hardened against a lot of things” that turned things around.

    Despite the peace that Grammer has finally achieved after years of sadness and guilt, he’s still determined to keep his sister’s killer behind bars.

    The actor has successfully opposed Glenn’s every single appeal for parole. The latest one took place just last year, when he confronted his sister’s killer via video conference and told him that he forgave him.

    “I believe the gift of life and freedom he took from my sister precludes him from ever being allowed to enjoy that gift for himself,” is his simple explanation.

    During the interview, the actor mused about how there is a tide in the affairs on man. And in Kelsey Grammer’s case, it certainly seems like the tide is finally turning in his favor as he heals and finds peace amidst the tragedies that has hounded his life.

  • Sarah Hyland Lives An Extraordinary Life Despite Kidney Transplant

    They say that behind every strong person is an amazing story. That certainly holds true for Modern Family star Sarah Hyland.

    It would be an understatement to say that the 24-year-old has been through a lot. The Vampire Academy actress has been dealing with health issues since she was young and was also able to break free from an abusive relationship.

    She’s also on the cover of Seventeen magazine’s May issue where she talks about her inspiring life.

    Hyland’s health struggles are no secret. The Modern Family actress has been suffering from kidney dysplasia, a condition that would cause the organ to progressively deteriorate. As a result, she had a kidney transplant in 2012.

    But her health problems didn’t get in the way of her dreams. At her age, Hyland is already a veteran in the business. She has been acting since she was a child and has even appeared on the iconic TV show Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.

    Hyland’s mother seems to have a big hand in shaping her outlook.

    According to her, doctors have already warned her mother that she’ll never have a normal life because of her numerous health issues. To which her mother defiantly replied “You’re right, she won’t — but it won’t be because of her health.”

    The story is something that Hyland takes to heart.

    “If I can’t have an ordinary life, I might as well have an extraordinary one,” the actress says. And that has been her mantra ever since.

    It certainly has helped her weather not just her health problems, but also some personal ones.

    The young actress took out a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend Matt Prokop who she claims verbally and physically abused her.

    But she’s now putting the bad times behind her. Hyland is glowing these days and has been seen enjoying herself with new boyfriend and Vampire Academy co-star Dominic Sherwood.

    And to those who are pursuing their own dreams, she says “Once you have a goal, keep moving forward – even if you’re taking baby steps.”

    Such sage words from such a young star. Some of the older celebrities would be wise to take a page from her book.

  • Carly Rae Jepsen’s ‘I Really Like You’ Gets Lip-Synced By Justin Bieber — Must-See!

    Lip Sync Battle might be held accountable for the popularity of lip syncing these days. And this time around, Carly Rae Jepsen’s single “I Really Like You” is getting the lip dubbed treatment.

    In a recently uploaded YouTube clip that’s already starting to generate views, Justin Bieber and a bunch of his pals are hamming it up to Jepsen’s new single.

    The video shows a shirtless Bieber dancing, flexing his muscles and lip syncing Jepsen’s song, along with friends like Ariana Grande and her Big Brother brother Frankie, Kendall Jenner, Empire’s Bryshere Y. Gray, Lance Bass, the boys of Rixton and a host of other people. Even Kendall Jenner’s dog has gotten into the act.

    This is the second time that Bieber has made his own lip dub of his friend’s song. The “Baby” singer also did a clip of himself lip syncing Jepsen’s previous hit “Call Me Maybe.”

    That show of support was probably instrumental in making the song 2012’s “Song of the Summer.” Jepsen reciprocated by headlining Bieber’s Believe tour.

    But the real video for Jepsen’s “I Really Like You” is as star-studded as Bieber’s just-for-fun YouTube vid.

    Megastar Tom Hanks, THE Tom Hanks, appears in the original video, lip syncing and dancing up a storm in front of the Mondrian Hotel in Manhattan. Bieber has a cameo at the end.

    Jepsen herself seems surprised that happened but Hanks had only nice things to say about the singer.

    “She’s a nice girl. We had a good time,” the award winning actor said.

    It’s really a mystery for the ages how “I Really Like You” has spawned a Nine Inch Nails mashup, got Tom Hanks to dance and now has Bieber’s pseudo opus, just weeks after being released. The song isn’t even in the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 charts (it’s currently sitting at number 80.)

    But who knows, maybe the song will hit number 1 soon, thanks to Bieber and friends.

  • Brody Jenner Gives Inside Look At Celebrities’ Take On Sex

    There’s good news for those who are missing Brody Jenner. E! wants to bring more pop to your culture by letting you have Sex with Brody.

    The network is turning the reality star’s The Brody Jenner Podcast with Dr. Mike Dow into a four-episode call-in talk show that will feature the 31-year -old “sex connoisseur” fielding questions and engaging in roundtable discussions on love, sex, dating and relationships. Apparently, no topic is off-limits to this show.

    According to the E! network, the provocatively (albeit unoriginally) titled Sex with Brody will have Kim and Kendall’s stepbrother “hitting the phones and the streets to encourage strangers to ‘strip down’ and reveal their burning thoughts around sex and relationships.”

    Bruce Jenner’s son has dubbed himself as a “sex expert,” a skill he probably learned while on reality shows like The Hills and The Princes of Malibu, plus the occasional guest appearance on Keeping up with the Kardashians.

    And he now apparently wants to share all of that valuable knowledge with his audience.

    But for those who prefer to receive advice from a more senior expert, author and relationship therapist Dr. Mike Dow is also on hand to give advice. The good doctor is known in TV land as the co-host of VH1’s Couples Therapy as well as hosting stints on TLC’s Freaky Eaters and That Sex Show on Logo.

    The inclusion of actress and comedian Stevie Ryan rounds up the triumvirate nicely.

    Guest appearances by April Rose, Christina Milian and Joanna Krupa are already lined up and are being billed as “an inside look at the celebrity take on sex.” That certainly brings it to another level. Celebrity sex is probably different from regular sex.

    Aside from basing it on his popular podcast, Brody is also executively producing the show. Sex with Brody will premiere on July 10 at 10″30pm on E!

  • ‘Wonder Woman’ Will No Longer Have A Female Director, Is Hollywood Bias?

    A woman directing a movie about the most iconic female superhero of all time was like a dream come true for a lot of women.

    Alas, it appears the dream has ended as Michelle Maclaren has dropped out of directing Wonder Woman.

    In an unexpected move, Warner Bros. announced that “Given creative differences, Warner Bros. and Michelle MacLaren have decided not to move forward with plans to develop and direct Wonder Woman together.”

    Warner Bros. spent months searching for a female director to helm the project, which focused on one of the most famous female superheroes of all time.

    The announcement that Maclaren was chosen to direct Wonder Woman was received with a lot of fanfare, and almost the same amount of excitement as when Gal Gadot was tapped to play the beloved heroine.

    So it comes as no surprise that the news left a bitter aftertaste in some sectors who are left wondering if Hollywood has something against female directors.

    After all, Maclaren isn’t the first female director who left a film due to “creative differences.”

    Patty Jenkins was originally tasked to direct Thor 2, giving her the distinction of being the first woman to direct a Marvel superhero movie. But she too left for the same reasons.

    Wonder Woman was supposed to be Maclaren’s first full-length movie directorial debut. She has already garnered acclaim over her directorial skills in episodes of Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and her most recent one, Better Call Saul.

    The news was disheartening to Lynda Carter as well.

    “I think it needs a woman,” the original Wonder Woman said in an interview. She further explained that the movie needs a female perspective, especially since women understand women.

    Despite losing their director, Warner Bros. hasn’t changed the movie’s release date. Wonder Woman is still slated to hit movie theaters in 2017.

  • Beastie Boys: Here’s How Ad-Rock Could Get His Role In ‘Walking Dead’

    The Walking Dead is currently on hiatus so it’s the perfect time for Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys to pitch his ideas to Greg Nicotero.

    Ad-Rock, who’s known in real life as Adam Horowitz, is unabashed in his love for the epic zombie TV show.

    “I f—ing love that show,” Horowitz confessed. “Every moment of that show.… I would love to be in The Walking Dead.”

    But unlike other celebrities who prefer to be zombified, this Beastie Boy wants to remain alive, and maybe be friends with resident bad boy Daryl Dixon.

    In a recent Entertainment Weekly radio, the hip-hop legend said he want “to be like [Daryl’s] friend from the city. Like a distant relative—‘He’s my uncle’s friend from New York.”

    “I’d show up with like a PBS tote bag and something from Zabar’s—be like, ‘Hey, I got lox! Who wants bagels?’” Horowitz added.

    While the idea he’s trying to pitch is pretty farfetched, and would likely result in Ad-Rock getting killed by Carl just for the bagels, the singer can say that he has already claimed some notable roles.

    The Beastie Boy member currently has a small but notable role in Adam Sandler’s While We’re Young.

    But maybe Ad-Rock doesn’t need to play some character in The Walking Dead. Maybe he can play himself, like he was on tour in Atlanta or something when the zombie apocalypse hit and he had to fight for his right…to live (see what I did there?)

    Daryl Dixon, or even Rick Grimes, could be revealed as being a fan of the Beastie Boys.

    Ad-Rock would eventually find his way to Alexandria and they’ll have one big, noisy party to welcome him.  After all, even in the depressing world of The Walking Dead, a little party every now and then never hurts anyone.

    At least, not until the zombie horde overruns the community.
