  • Miss Universe Paulina Vega Downplays Booing Incident, Says No One Thought Miss Jamaica Would Even Be In The Top Five Finalists

    Paulina Vega may have been the one who took home the Miss Universe crown in January, but the booing controversy and the Twitter backlash may have proved that the people wanted someone else for the coveted spot. While some people thinks that she did not deserve the crown at all, the 22-year-old beauty queen is now speaking out about her crowning moment and the controversy that followed.

    The Colombian beauty spoke to El Diablo about her life after the big win. Vega said that the experience has surpassed her expectations. She was spotted recently attending the New York Fashion Week and soon, she will be travelling to places like Dubai and Indonesia before flying off to her home country.

    Speaking about those who wanted Miss Jamaica Kaci Fennell to win, Vega said that not everyone can be pleased, citing how each participant from the 88 countries involved had their own group. Vega claimed that the auditorium where the pageant was held is “super small,” possibly adding to the loudness of the boos that erupted when Fennel was announced as the fourth runner up.

    “People believe that it was 95 percent of the auditorium, but it wasn’t like that,” Vega said. “I think no one thought Jamaica was going to be the first called in the top five, but I think that she is also happy being a top five finalist. It turned into something sad when the whole world should be proud and happy about what Jamaica did.”

    Fans speculated on Twitter that Fennell lost due to her spunky attitude and her short pixie haircut. Fennell’s fans think that Vega was unintelligent and just pretty, something that Miss Colombia is out to disprove.

    In her home country, Vega is being invited to join in on the peace talks between the Colombian government and the FARC rebels, a leftist group that’s been accused of masterminding bombings, murders, and kidnappings in Colombia. From beauty queen to peace talk negotiator, Vega is set to make waves this year.

  • Gisele Bundchen Reveals How She Knew Tom Brady Was “The One”

    Tom Brady is one lucky man. Not only did he lead the New England Patriots to victory, he also has a stunning wife to celebrate with. After the Super Bowl win, the quarterback was spotted celebrating with his kids and Bundchen, who graces the March cover for British Vogue.

    In the candid interview with the mag, the world’s highest paid model revealed how she knew Brady was the one right after meeting the football player. “I could see it in his eyes that he was a man with integrity who believes in the same things I do,” she shared.

    It’s Bundchen’s 14th cover for the popular magazine, and on this one she sports a natural look while wearing an olive green top with a sultry black belt. The supermodel gave an inside look into her life as a model and as a mother to their lovely kids. She credited her upbringing in Brazil as a guide in raising their children. “I’m very nurturing, I come from a large family and my parents were loving,” she recalled. Brady and Bunchen has two kids, Ben and Vivian, and Giselle is also mom to John, Tom’s child from a previous marriage.

    She also talked about separating her work from her life at home, saying: “When I go home and shut the door, that’s it. If I want to expose something, it should be my choice.” While Brady is a massive football superstar in the US, Bundchen is way bigger in her homeland. Shasta Darlington from CNN noticed how the Patriots star player is only known as “Giselle Bundchen’s husband” in Brazil.

    The Brady-Bundchen family is slowly becoming America’s next favorite family after the Obamas, the Carters, and the Jolie-Pitts. Their cute family photos from the Super Bowl celebrations has been circulating all over the Internet shortly after the event took place last Sunday night.

  • Groundhog Punxsutawney Phil’s Winter Predictions Found To Be Wrong 60 Percent Of The Time

    Expect spring to be a tad bit late as Punxsutawney Phil forecasted that winter is here for another six weeks. The world-famous groundhog went with his unorthodox methods to bring the forecast.

    Legend has it that if the groundhog sees his shadow after emerging from his burrow on February 2, people can expect the winter to extend its stay. Punxsutawney Phil quickly retreated to his burrow around 7:30 a.m. in Pennsylvania as the region is hit with scattered snow showers.

    A sizable crowd of about 11,000 gathered to watch the ceremony, hoping that Phil’s prediction will end the long winter that has ravaged the country. The top hat-wearing handlers of Phil however announced the extended winter.

    While it is still unknown if Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction will come true, the National Climatic Data Center has compiled Phil’s successes and failures since 1988. Throughout the years of his service as the gifted groundhog, Phil was recorded to be wrong 15 times out of the 26-year study. Dave Unger, a meteorologist from the National Weather service said that a good forecast will only be considered if the estimate is around 60% accurate. Right now, Phil’s predictions only amounts to about 40%.

    Groundhog Day has been celebrated since 1841, making it a true American tradition. While the tradition is still very much alive, Punxsutawney Phil has been constantly faced with controversies about his questionable predictions. An Ohio prosecutor infamously sought the death penalty for Phil back in 2013 after the furry psychic predicted an early spring, when it fact the cold weather persisted throughout the East Coast until March of that year.

    All around the country, several Groundhog Day-like celebrations are also held. Staten Island Chuck is making the prediction in New York, while Wiarton Willie if the snow will continue to fall in Ontario, Canada. Potomac Phil, a stuffed Groundhog from Washington, D.C. also saw his shadow, echoing Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction.

  • Robin Williams’ Family Is Now Fighting Over His Estate, Wife Accused Of Being “Greedy”

    Robin Williams’ widow and his children from two prior marriages have gone to court over disputes regarding his estate. According to reports, the papers were filed back in December. Robin Williams’ wife, Susan Schneider Williams, alleged that his children have taken items from their Tiburon home without her permission. According to Susan, since the Tiburon home was left to her, the items in the home should be excluded in the list of items that were left for the children.

    According to Robin Williams’ will, Susan is entitled to their Tiburon home while his children, Zak from his first marriage, and Zelda and Cody from his second, are entitled to any memorabilia acquired throughout the course of his career as well as other items that were stored in a second property in Napa.

    In January, Robin Williams’ children filed a response to Susan’s claims. According to them, Susan Schneider Williams “acted against his wishes by challenging the plans he so carefully made for his estate”. They also accused her of being greedy after she asked for additional money to cover for the daily upkeep of the Tiburon home as well as for unexpected renovations and improvements.

    Jim Wagstaffe, Susan Schneider Williams’ lawyer, said, “Mr. Williams wanted his wife to be able to stay in her home and not be disrupted in her life with her children. Compared to what the Williams children were set to receive from their father, this is a bucket of water in a lake.”

    Included in the list of disputed items are Robin Williams’ collection of comic books, posters, action figures, and other memorabilia.

    “These collections were carefully amassed by Mr. Williams over his lifetime and were precious to him,” the response from the Williams children said. “As the Williams children grew, so did their father’s collections and they shared in their father’s excitement as additions were made to his collection.”

  • Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Hometown Fans Remember Him A Year After His Death

    It’s been a year since actor Philip Seymour Hoffman passed away after overdosing from a cocktail of drugs and fans are still mourning the loss of a talented character actor.

    Hoffman’s hometown in Fairport, New York remembers the actor as a happy kid who was “really living and burning brightly and having fun.” Hoffman’s teachers in Fairport High School remember the actor as a curious student. When Hoffman starred in P.T. Anderson’s Punch Drunk Love back in 2002, the entire theater erupted to a rousing applause when their hometown actor appeared on the big screen.

    All over the world, fans are remembering the great actor who starred in films like Capote, The Hunger Games, Boogie Nights, and The Master. Caleb Slain, a fan of the actor spent almost 200 hours to produce an emotional tribute video that features some of Hoffman’s best work. From the actor’s bit part on Law and Order to his defining roles in Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead and Charlie Wilson’s War, Slain wanted to show the dedication of the late actor to his craft. “Please take a breather and raise your glasses to one of our finest,” Slain wrote to describe the video.

    Meanwhile, in an opinion piece on The Huffington Post, Johann Hari, author of the book Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs used Hoffman’s death as an example to drive his point about the war on drugs. Hari argues that Hoffman could have been spared if drugs were decriminalized. He cited Portugal as an example; the country decriminalized all drugs and used the budget for busting users to provide help for recovering addicts. This act resulted in a decrease in drug activity and a huge dip in the number of deaths related to overdose.

    “Today, one hundred years into the drug war, we have a decision to make,” Hari wrote. “We can wait for the next death, and the next death, and the next after that — or we can decide to choose to let addicts live. It’s up to us.”

  • Carrie Underwood Wants A Baby Name That Goes Well With “Fisher”

    Country superstar Carrie Underwood recently talked to PEOPLE about her pregnancy. “Just knowing that the whole process itself is really beautiful… Even when I feel pretty large, it really is such a miracle and such a beautiful thing,” the singer said. Carrie Underwood, 31 years old, is expecting her first child with Mike Fisher. The star also admitted that she can’t wait to get back in shape right after she gives birth to the baby boy.

    “I’m looking forward to reclaiming my body,” Carrie Underwood said. “I’ve been saying it’s been on loan for the past many months … I’m excited to take it back.” And while she’s looking forward to getting her pre-baby weight back, it’s pretty clear that Carrie Underwood is enjoying her pregnancy so far. However, with just two months left until she gives birth, she admitted that she and her husband haven’t settled on a name yet.

    “We don’t have a baby name. We need to lock that down here pretty soon,” Carrie Underwood told PEOPLE. “We joke a lot about funny things that go with Fisher, but there’s not some family name that I have had to be like, ‘No! That’s terrible!’”

    Carrie Underwood announced her pregnancy late last year. In an interview with TODAY after her announcement, the singer expressed her disbelief. “It’s still kind of weird, to be honest,” Underwood said. “Sometimes I’ll be with my husband and I’m like, ‘I’m going to be a mom. You’re going to be a dad. Like, is this real life?’ But we’re really excited.”

    In the same interview, Underwood revealed that her mom is her role model as far as parenting is concerned. She said, “I have a wonderful mother, so if I can be even a little bit like that, I think we’ll be good.”

    The singer announced her pregnancy via Twitter. She posted a photo of herself with her two dogs, who were wearing “I’m going to be a Big Brother/Sister” T-shirt.

  • “Pay With Lovin”: McDonald’s Gives Away Free Food To Customers Who Show Love

    “Pay With Lovin”: McDonald’s Gives Away Free Food To Customers Who Show Love

    As announced on their latest Super Bowl ad, McDonald’s is launching a new campaign called “Pay with Lovin’”. Beginning on Monday, February 2, from 6 a.m. to 6p.m., McDonald’s will be offering random customers a chance to pay with an act “lovin’” instead of cash. Such acts include a fistbump, a phonecall to a loved one, a kiss, etc.

    Deborah Wahl, chief marketing manager for McDonald’s USA, said, “We’re on a journey of transformation and a key part of that journey is how we engage with our customers. Pay with Lovin’ is a direct way for us to engage with our customers. We believe that a little more Lovin’ can change a lot.”

    It works like this: after the chosen customer places an order, a guest service manager called a “Lovin’ Lead” will inform said customer that he can pay with an act of “lovin’” instead of cash.  “There’s a lot that goes on in the world and if a brand like ours can really come across and provide those good moments, provide that delight, that treat and that excitement, that’s what we should be doing for our customers,” Deborah Wahl said.

    McDonald’s hopes that word of the campaign will be spread through word of mouth. Chosen customers are urged to post their pictures on their social media pages including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

    According to McDonald’s, they will be selecting 100 customers a day in the span of 12 days. They estimate that each meal will cost around $5.60, with the total of free food averaging around $560 per restaurant.

    A man named Dennis Cochran was among the first to be chosen to “Pay with Lovin’”. Cochran ordered a burger, fries and unsweetened tea, and was surprised when he was asked to dance instead of paying for his meal with cash. “I had knee replacement 10 days ago, but it was worth it,” Cochran said.

  • Power Ranger Allegedly Murders Roommate With Sword, Bail Set At $1Million

    A former star of the kid-friendly Power Rangers series was arrested for murdering his roommate last Saturday.

    Ricardo Medina Jr. who starred in Power Rangers Wild Force was caught by the LAPD after calling 911. Medina Jr. had a violent altercation with his roommate, Joshua Sutter that afternoon. When the 36-year-old actor locked himself up in his room with his girlfriend, Sutter proceeded to break down the door to continue the fight.

    Medina Jr. grabbed a sword that he kept in his room and allegedly stabbed Sutter in the abdomen. Police arrived on the scene and arrested the actor who remained on the scene. Sutter was sent to the hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arriving.

    Neighbors said that the actor kept mostly to himself and noted that they didn’t know much because he had only been living there for the past two months. Talking to ABC7, Medina’s agent, Gar Lester, described him as a super person. “He’s been my friend and client for 12 years and he’s a great guy,” Lester said. “He’s great to his dog, he’s great to his people.”

    The local police charged Medina with homicide and is currently being held at the Palmdale Sheriff’s station with a $1 million bail. He is due to make an appearance in court this Tuesday.

    Medina debuted on Power Rangers Wild Force portraying Cole Evans, the Red Ranger of the group. The show ran for 40 episodes back in 2002 and is currently enjoying its run in syndication. Medina also appeared in Power Rangers Super Samurai back in 2011 portraying a different character.

    The Power Rangers franchise originated in Japan and became a huge part of popular culture. The franchise spawned a series of films, video games, and a lucrative merchandising deal. The 22nd season of the show, Power Rangers Dino Charge will begin airing on Nickelodeon this weekend.

  • Whitney Houston’s Daughter Near Death; Doctors Say “It’s Not Looking Good”

    Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, is still in the hospital after being found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub at her home. The incident bears haunting similarities to how Whitney Houston died, leading to an outpouring of concern regarding Bobbi Kristina’s well-being. According to reports, Bobbi Kristina Brown is on a ventilator and is confined to an intensive care unit.

    A source for the family said that Bobbi Kristina was placed in a medically-induced coma. However, the source claims that Bobbi Kristina opened her eyes a few times on Monday. Doctors, on the other hand, told family members not to read too much into it. The source also added that Bobbi Kristina had some seizures on the same day.

    “Bobbi Kristina is fighting for her life and is surrounded by immediate family. As her father already stated, we are asking you to honor our request for privacy during this difficult time,” the Houston family said in a statement.

    TMZ reports that Bobbi Kristina’s condition is really serious and that her brain function has “significantly diminished”. This finding is the result of tests made on Brown in the hospital. Whitney Houston’s estranged husband, Bobby Brown, is reportedly at his daughter’s bedside the whole time.

    Much has been said regarding the similarities between what happened to Bobbi Kristina as well as Whitney Houston’s death. Both happened in February just before the Grammy’s, and both women had a history with drug abuse. And while cocaine was a contributing factor in Whitney Houston’s death, police released a statement saying that no drugs were found in Bobbi Kristina’s home.

    Bobbi Kristina aspired to become an actress and singer just like Whitney Houston, however, career opportunities did not present themselves. It is speculated that this might have affected Bobbi Kristina’s mental state as of late.

  • Katy Perry Shows Us How To Rock A Super Bowl Half-Time Show

    The Super Bowl’s half-time show is usually reserved for people to refill their glasses of alcohol and get more food from the kitchen, but Katy Perry went all out in her performance prompting people to sit down and watch the spectacle.

    The record-breaking performance was seen by 118.5 million viewers, making it the most-watched half-time show ever, surpassing last year’s show by Bruno Mars. The entire University of Phoenix Stadium was lit up with thousands of tiny lights that were passed out to those who attended Super Bowl XLIX. Perry kicked off her massive 12-minute set by making a grand entrance atop a gigantic animatronic lion.  The 30-year-old pop star sang her chart-topping hit, Roar, as she made her way through a hundred glowing orbs while wearing a fiery dress made by Jeremy Scott.

    When Perry shifted to Dark Horse, the stadium was fitted with 3D mapping technology, transforming the humongous stage into a massive chessboard complete with dancing pieces. Perry shocked everyone when she bought out Grammy Award-winning rocker Lenny Kravitz to do a rendition of her first hit, I Kissed a Girl. After that explosive bit, Perry shifted into a beach ball-inspired dress to sing Teenage Dream.

    The family-friendly performance got a splash of color from the bright set pieces that included dancing sharks and lip syncing palm trees.  A group of girls in vintage bikinis joined the chart-topping singer as she performed California Girls.

    The biggest surprise of the night happened when Missy Elliott came out to perform her 2001 hit, Get Ur Freak On. Perry joined the influential female rapper wearing a blinged-out football jersey. Perry hyped up the Super Bowl crowd while dancing to Elliott’s biggest hits like Work It and Lose Control.

    After Elliott left the stage, Perry revealed yet another costume change to match her emotional performance of Firework. Perry was lifted off the field and was flown across the stadium in a sparkling shooting star as real fireworks exploded above the sky of the open stadium. “Thank you and God bless America!” Perry cheered as her performance came to a close.

    To celebrate her monumental half-time show, Perry decided to get a special Super Bowl tattoo on her finger. “I thought it would be appropriate to draw blood tonight…XLIX,” she captioned the photo.

  • Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Justin Bieber, And Cody Simpson Are Planning Something BIG!

    With a photo shoot and secret meeting with pals, Kendall Jenner sure had one hell of a Super Bowl weekend. The 19-year-old model was seen partying with her friends during One Directioner Harry Style’s 21st birthday party, but was back to work shortly after that. Guess “party hard, work harder” is the young star’s new mantra.

    Jenner was spotted on Venice Beach on Friday dressed up in some fine fashion. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was seen posing with bestie Gigi Hadid and her sister Bella, but it was Jenner’s moments with The Fault in Our Stars’ Ansel Elgort that got fans talking.

    During the shoot, Jenner was wearing a black and burgundy cut-out top while Elgort was decked out in a sharp black suit. The group spent their lunch break walking down the sandy beach while carrying drinks and plates of food. Fans are trying to figure out what the shoot is for, but I guess we won’t know until we see Jenner and Elgort’s face printed on billboards and posters all over.

    Jenner spent the weekend with Hadid, doing girly things like watching The Lorax and talking about their boys. They did eventually meet up with their boys on Super Bowl Sunday when Cody Simpson posted a photo on his Instagram showing Hadid, Jenner, and Kendall’s rumored new fling, Justin Bieber, posing together. The photo was captioned, “Project…” leading fans to believe that the foursome is planning something big.

    A photo posted by Cody Simpson (@codysimpson) on

    Could it be the music video for “Home to Mama,” a song that Bieber and Simpson collaborated on? Maybe the two teen heartthrobs are writing a new song for the women in their lives? Whatever the two couples are working on, we’re sure that it’s going to be talked-about by fans of the four. We can’t wait until this secret project comes to life!

  • Val Kilmer Is Reportedly Ignoring Tumor Because Of His Religious Beliefs, Tells Fans “Don’t Worry”

    It’s been reported that Val Kilmer has been neglecting treatment for a possible tumor because of his Christian Science beliefs. Concerned family members have talked to the media and revealed that the actor knew about the tumor since summer. Followers of Christian Science advocate prayer as the first (and sometimes the only) solution for any ailment. However, Val Kilmer was forced to go to the hospital last Monday after he started coughing up blood.

    Val Kilmer posted a message on his Facebook page addressing the situation and dismissing the rumors surrounding the tumor. “Thank you for all your sweet support,” Val Kilmer wrote on Saturday. “But I have not had a tumor, or a tumor operation, or any operation. I had a complication where the best way to receive care was to stay under the watchful eye of the UCLA ICU.”

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

    However, Val Kilmer’s publicist is singing a different tune. Liz Rosenberg, Kimer’s publicist, told the Associated Press that Kilmer was undergoing tests for a possible tumor. She said that the doctors are encouraged that Kilmer will make a full recovery from the tumor… the same tumor that Kilmer seems to be denying. Despite the conflicting updates from Kilmer and his publicist, the family revealed that after the recent scare, Kilmer has been more receptive to the idea of receiving traditional medicine to treat his illness. Rumors about Val Kilmer’s health began circulating after he made a series of public appearances looking like he lost a lot of weight.

  • Carrie-Anne Moss Of ‘Matrix’ Fame Joins Cast Of Marvel’s ‘A.K.A Jessica Jones’

    Marvel and Netflix have announced that Carrie-Anne Moss will be joining the cast of Marvel’s AKA Jessica Jones. The show is part of Netflix’s partnership with Marvel that aims to expand on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In order to set themselves apart from other Marvel TV Shows like Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. and Agent Carter, Netflix will be focusing on street-level heroes. Part of this initiative is Netflix’s upcoming Daredevil series which will also be released this year.

    A.K.A. Jessica Jones is based on Marvel’s Alias comic book. The story follows Jessica Jones, a former superhero, who starts working as a private detective. News about Carrie-Anne Moss’ character is still scarce, but according to reports, she will be playing a “no-nonsense woman who could prove a powerful ally to Jessica… if Jessica doesn’t completely alienate her first”.

    “Throughout her career, Carrie-Anne has embodied a wide range of characters in a compelling and relatable way and I have no doubt she will bring that talent to A.K.A. Jessica Jones,” said the show’s executive producer and showrunner Melissa Rosenberg.

    Marvel’s Head of Television and noted comic book writer, Jeph Loeb, added, “Carrie-Anne has proven her ability to play complex characters with deep and layered inner lives. Her interaction with Jessica Jones will be one of the many highlights of the series.”

    Carrie-Anne Moss will be joining Krysten Ritter who will be playing Jessica Jones. Other cast members include Mike Colter as Luke Cage, David Tennant as Zebediah Killgrave/Purple Man, and Rachel Taylor as Patricia Walker/Hellcat.

    Moss is no stranger to genre fare having starred as Trinity in the Matrix films alongside Keanu Reeves. Considering her film and TV work, she is definitely one of the more high-profile casting choices for A.K.A. Jessica Jones. Carrie-Anne Moss was recently seen on the big screen in Paul W.S. Anderson’s Pompeii as well as the indie drama Elephant Song.

  • Bruce Jenner Keeps Mum About His Male To Female Transformation

    Bruce Jenner Keeps Mum About His Male To Female Transformation

    The rumors surrounding Bruce Jenner’s brand new docu-series on E! Network caused quite a stir last week, but the 65-year-old former Olympian remains silent about his decision to transition.

    After People Magazine broke the news about Jenner filming an upcoming show about his transformation from man to woman, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star told his film crew to “keep everything hush-hush.”

    Kim Kardashian, Jenner’s stepdaughter previously dropped hints during her guest appearance for Entertainment Tonight last week. Mrs. Kanye West spoke about meeting Jenner and describing him as “the happiest I’ve ever seen him.” Kim along with her sisters Kylie, Khloe, Kourtney, and Kendall were all photographed cozying up with their dad. She captioned the photo with a simple “Family First.”

    When asked to comment about the rumors surrounding his stepdad, Kardashian said this: “I think when the time is right, he’ll talk about whatever he wants to talk about.”

    “Of course we support Bruce 100 percent,” she said.

    If the sisters are backing Jenner’s choice, not all family members are in favor. Kris Jenner was reportedly shocked when the news broke while she was vacationing in Paris. A source claimed that Jenner is requesting her daughters to help her start an intervention for Bruce.

    Last year, Jenner made headlines after reportedly reducing the size of his Adam’s apple shortly after his separation with Kris. On his 65th birthday, Bruce was seen wearing bright red manicure. He was also photographed with juicier lips while driving around Santa Monica.

    Bruce is reported to have slowly eased into the transition. He takes cautious steps to not cause a stir in his family. Jenner has 10 children and stepchildren from his relationships. Until the show airs, let’s just all be happy that Bruce is becoming more and more confident about his next chapter in life.

  • Kris Jenner “Freaked Out” Over Bruce Jenner’s Transformation, Wants An Intervention

    Looks like this season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians is getting yet another intervention. Fresh off from her trip to Paris, Kris Jenner was reportedly shocked over the news that her ex-husband Bruce Jenner is prepping for his huge transformation.

    TMZ reports how Jenner was “freaked out” over her ex’s big decision. An insider source claims that the “momager” is requesting to “sit everyone down to figure out what the hell is going on.”

    The 59-year-old reality star’s trip to Paris turned into a nightmare after the drama back in the States unfolded. While Jenner has always been in the know about the ins and outs of her family, it appears that her children decided to keep her in the dark when it came to Bruce’s decisions. “Kris understands Bruce has a story to tell but she feels the girls need to let her in on what’s going on with their father so she can help the situation,” a source said.

    Last week, the former Olympian was seen hanging out with his daughters and sources are saying that Bruce finally came out to his kids. Cameras were apparently rolling during the emotional confession and everything is geared up to become a part of Bruce’s upcoming docu-series that would depict his transition from a man to a woman.

    Bruce’s transition has been slow and steady. Last year, paparazzi photos showed him sporting nail polish. Before and after photos also showed Bruce with a smaller Adam’s apple and fuller lips. “Instead of completely shocking everyone, his changes have been subtle, and his family has had the chance to slowly get used to his new looks and life,” an insider said.

    While not everyone is happy with the path that Bruce is taking, sources are claiming that he’s happy about his decision and that he’s in “a good space.”

  • Alessandra Ambrosio Hosts VO|CO Vodka Coconut Water Party

    On January 30, supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio hosted the VO|CO Vodka Coconut Water party that was held at the Cake & Tao Takeover pop-up in Scottsdale, Arizona. Ambrosio looked stunning as she wore a backless leather dress at the red carpet. Alessandra Ambrosio, VO|CO’s spokesperson, was joined by her fiancé, Jamie Mazur, as well as their friends. The group was seen dancing at the event while DJ Eric D-Lux was performing onstage.

    Alessandra Ambrosio took to Twitter to promote the event, saying, “Only for you #AZ. So excited to be there @vocodrink”. Alessandra Ambrosio recently appeared on the cover of Ocean Drive magazine. The supermodel was also interviewed by the publication, and she opened up about her experience as a Victoria’s Secret model.

    “We get inspired by each other. They’re my coworkers, they’re gorgeous, and everyone there has their own spotlight,” Alessandra Ambrosio said of her fellow models. Ambrosio started her career with Victoria’s Secret before she turned 20. Now, she’s considered as one of the company’s most popular models. She was even selected to wear the jewel-encrusted Fantasy Bra back in the December Victoria’s Secret fashion show.

    “Before the first time I did it, I was like, ‘When am I going to wear the Fantasy Bra, when is it going to be my turn?’” Ambrosio said in the interview. “It was new, and me and Adriana [Lima] had a great time. We’ve known each other for a long time. We started at the same time in Brazil, and we’ve done a lot of shoots together for Victoria’s Secret.”

    Ambrosio added, “I don’t think this is a career where you can plan too much. I try to always be prepared, so if stuff comes my way, I’m ready to do it. But I don’t say, ‘I want to do this and this and this,’ and then if I don’t do it, I get disappointed. I don’t think that way.”

  • Avocados From Mexico Super Bowl Ad Proves To Be A Hit

    When you think of Super Bowl ads, you think beer commercials and/or car commercials. However, one surprising Super Bowl ad is stealing the show. Avocados from Mexico unveiled their “First Draft Ever” ad spot that features Jerry Rice, Doug Flutie, and a Cro-Magnon providing analysis for the first draft ever in the history of the world. In the commercial, the Kangaroo was drafted by Australia eliciting cheers from Rice and Flutie.

    The Avocados from Mexico ad pokes fun at the sloth as it gets chosen by Brazil for its draft pick. “Off-the-field issues,” Rice says. While Flutie remarks, “Not a locker-room guy.” The United States selects wheat while the commercial ends with Mexico swooping in with a late-round steal after a trade to grab the avocado.

    According to reports, avocados have ascended through the ranks of America’s new favorite fruit. With it being a prime ingredient for Guacamole, it seems Avocados from Mexico found their perfect audience with the Super Bowl crowd.

    The Super Bowl ad was just the first part of Avocados from Mexico’s new ad campaign. The hashtag #FirstDraftEver is also part of the company’s social media push. Aside from the TV spot, more videos were made by the Austin-based creative agency, GSD&M.

    Alongside the viral marketing and the Super Bowl ad, the website for Avocados from Mexico also underwent an overhaul. Seven videos will also be appearing online via Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter.

    The Super Bowl ad spots are some the most desirable TV spots for companies to unleash their ad campaigns, what with the number of viewers that tune in to the Super Bowl every year. It continues to be a successful platform for everyone from companies releasing their new ad campaigns or film studios unveiling new footage and trailers for their upcoming films. So this is definitely good news for Avocados from Mexico.

    Although Kunis shot the film way before she got pregnant, the actress is back in shape barely six months after giving birth to Wyatt, her son with fellow That 70s Show alumni, Ashton Kutcher. The family was seen hanging out in a Santa Monica beach where Kunis was spotted sporting a pair of skinny jeans, showing off her wonderful post-baby figure.

    After doing yoga and Pilates during her pregnancy, the 31-year-old new mom is now taking the natural approach to lose the excess pounds. Kunis said that hiking and breastfeeding really helped her shed the pounds. The couple also decided against hiring a nanny for Wyatt, and the two celebrities are very much hands-on in taking care of the baby.

    Fans of the actress are about to get a dose of her outer space combat skills as Jupiter Ascending finally opens on Feb. 6 after being delayed for almost a year. If you think that her wedding gown in the film was crazy, wait until you see all her crazy space costumes. Remember to be on the lookout for her stunning tight leather outfit!

  • Gisele Bundchen: How She Prepped For The Super Bowl

    Tom Brady is got all the inspiration he needed for the big game as his biggest fan, wife Gisele Bundchen went all out for her man. Hours before the kickoff, the Brazilian bombshell posted a photo of her with a feisty game face on.

    “Are you ready?!?! Let’s go Pats!!!!! #‎superbowl,” the 34-year old model captioned the photo she posted on Instagram. Bundchen was wearing her man’s No. 12 jersey to support her quarterback husband who plays for the New England Patriots. Bundchen’s jersey was lined with sequins, matching the sparkle in her eyes.

    Bundchen arrived with Brady in Arizona last Saturday. Brady was spotted solo before the game, roaming around the University of Phoenix Stadium wearing just his sweats.

    During the game, the model-actress along with their two kids cheered on as daddy played the intense game. The model livetweeted the game, giving her fans and followers a series of emoji-filled updates showing her passion for the game. She also took a photo of their kids cheering on during the fourth quarter. The Patriots won the game, 28-24.

    Compared to her previous livetweeting sessions during the Super Bowl event, Bundchen was noticeably less aggressive. In 2012, she was heckled by New York Giants fans after she blamed his husband’s teammates for missing out on her husband’s passes. “My husband cannot [bleeping] throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times,” she tweeted. The couple had been through thick and thin, and Bundchen is a huge supporter of her husband’s games. Brady and Bundchen started going out in 2006 after being set up for a blind date. The two eventually married in 2009. The two have been named as the World’s Highest Paid Celebrity Couple back in 2011, beating the likes of Brangelina and The Carters, Beyoncé and Jay-Z.

  • Elsa Pataky And Chris Hemsworth Stole The Show At The G’Day USA Soiree

    Elsa Pataky and husband Chris Hemsworth were spotted at the G’Day USA event on January 31. The two were there because Chris was being given the G’Day LA honor at the event which aims to recognize Australian acting talent who are currently working on Hollywood. And while it was Hemsworth who was being honored, the gorgeous Elsa Pataky had her time in the spotlight. The mother of three wore a strapless emerald dress that accentuated her glowing skin. It’s hard to believe that Elsa Pataky gave birth to twin boys just March of last year.

    Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky were joined by Chris’ brothers, Liam and Luke, as well as Luke’s wife, Samantha. Scarlett Johansson presented the award to her Avengers co-star, saying, “Chris Hemsworth is one of those actors who comes along once in a blue moon, or, according to my mom, never before. He’s all at once sensitive and ferocious, otherworldly and grounded. He’s shockingly handsome and surprisingly approachable. He is every man and like no man you’ve ever met before.”

    Chris took to the stage, and dedicated the award to his wife. “The best thing I’ve got from coming to L.A. was meeting my wife – who is actually from Spain and who was lured here by Hollywood – and who I love very much, and that is the greatest thing over the last few years. So, thank you, everyone, but especially my wife,” the actor said.

    Elsa Pataky, who is also an actress, put her career on hold to take care of their kids. Now it seems she’s ready to get back to work and Chris might be helping her out. A source claims, “Elsa put aside acting to have their three kids, but she’s ready to step back into the limelight and Chris wants to help her.” According to the source, Chris is hoping that producers will give Elsa a role in future Avengers films.

  • Bobbi Kristina Overdoses In Bathtub Like Mother Whitney Houston

    Bobbi Kristina Overdoses In Bathtub Like Mother Whitney Houston

    On January 31, Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unresponsive in a bathtub by her husband, Nick Gordon, and a friend. The incident made the news because of the eerie similarity to how Bobbi Kristina’s mother, Whitney Houston, passed away. And while Bobbi Kristina is still alive, reports about her current condition have been conflicting. According to People, Bobbi Kristina is stable and in the hospital. A source for E! News also claims that Bobbi Kristina is breathing with the help of a ventilator. TMZ, however, paints a dire picture saying that Bobbi Kristina’s condition is bleak and that her brain function has “significantly diminished”.

    Despite the conflicting reports, people have been sending their thoughts and prayers through social media. Even celebrities have spoken out about what happened to Bobbi Kristina. “I hope Bobbi Kristina gets the help she needs Poor thing, almost 3 yrs to the day her mom passed and the same thing almost happened to her,” Diane Warren tweeted. Other celebrities that took to Twitter include Missy Elliott, Ciara, Holly Robinson Peete, and many more.

    Bobbi Kristina, who was still devastated about her mother’s passing, has also struggled with addiction. A close friend of the family told People, “Bobbi Kristina will be the first person to say that she has used in the past, and that she dealt with a lot of pressure from growing up in the spotlight. You’ve seen the pictures on the Internet, so you know.”

    Bobbi Kristina was 18 years old when Whitney Houston passed away. She suffered a mental breakdown after receiving news of her mother’s death and she was sent to Cedars Sinai Medical Center to be treated for stress and anxiety.

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