  • Sue Ann Arnall: How Could A Nearly $1 BILLION Divorce Settlement Not Be Enough?

    Sue Ann Arnall, the ex-wife of Oklahoma oil tycoon Harold Hamm, has rejected the $975 million divorce settlement awarded to her by an Oklahoma court. Arnall appealed the ruling citing 78 errors which she believes led the judge to undervalue her stake in Hamm’s fortune. She believes the court’s ruling was not fair because Hamm was worth an estimated $18 billion.

    Hamm’s lawyer, Michael Burrage, released a statement saying, “Ms. Arnall, through her counsel, stated that they were rejecting the payment because Ms. Arnall did not want to risk the dismissal of her appeal by acceptance of the benefits.”

    Sue Ann’s legal counsel also released a statement saying, “As Sue Ann has stated previously, 6 percent is not a fair proportion of the wealth the couple accumulated during their marriage, and she trusts that a more equitable division of the marital estate will result from this appeal.”

    Arnall was an economist and a lawyer who has held executive positions in Hamm’s company, Continental Resources. According to Arnall’s appeal, the company’s fortune is due to both Hamm’s work and hers and that she is entitled to so much more than the $975 million awarded to her. Hamm and Arnall have been married for 26 years and they have two children together. It is worth noting that the couple had no prenuptial agreement when they got married. Aside from the $975 million check, Hamm also paid Arnall millions during the divorce proceedings. She was also awarded property including the couple’s $14.7 million Oak Ridge Ranch in California, as well as a couple of their Oklahoma properties. Despite writing the check, Hamm will also file an appeal stating that outside factors (including a significant dip in oil prices) have taken their toll on both the company and his wealth, saying that his fortune is actually worth less than Arnall’s estimate. The $975 million awarded to Arnall is the second largest divorce settlement in the United States. Jocelyn Wildenstein, who was awarded $2.5 billion, remains to be on the top spot of the most expensive divorce cases in America.

  • Anna Faris Gets Mocked And Ditched By Husband Chris Pratt At People’s Choice Awards

    Anna Faris hosted the People’s Choice Awards on January 7 alongside her Mom co-star, Allison Janney. However, Faris was seemingly ditched by her husband, Chris Pratt, who was noticeably absent from the red carpet. In an interview with ET Canada prior to the awards show, Faris revealed the reason why the Guardians of the Galaxy star wouldn’t be by her side: “I am going to walk the red carpet with my co-star, co-host Allison Janney. My son is having eye surgery the next morning, so we’ll see what happens, he may come, but he may not,” Faris tells ET Canada.

    Pratt did appear in the awards show’s cold open, which shows him poking fun at Faris’ career. The sketch shows Pratt reading a pile of scripts and that his busy schedule is the reason why he won’t be able to attend the awards show.

    “I have like 11 movies to shoot by next Friday,” Pratt says in the skit. “Here’s one for you. No, that’s just a script called Anna. Yeah, they want me to star in it.”

    Faris and Pratt are known to be two of the funniest people in Hollywood right now, and Faris’ recent guest appearance on Ellen proved that the couple are not above pranking each other. In the episode, Faris and Ellen DeGeneres pulled a prank on Pratt with Faris pretending to be arrested and Ellen pretending to be a police officer.

    While Pratt may be absent during the show, it’s a good thing that Faris has Janney by her side. In another pre-show interview with People, Faris sang her co-host’s praises. “You may think that it’s a joke, but I truly do have an obsession with my costar,” Fariss says. “I think we’re both feeling really lucky right about now that we get along so well and that we love each other.”

  • Scott Disick Reportedy Has A Serious Drinking Problem, Seeks Help After Getting Kicked Out Of Home

    Scott Disick loves to drink. And Kourtney Kardashian isn’t too pleased about it. However, Disick, who is now a father of three, seems like he’s willing to do anything to change his hard-partying ways. A source close to the 31-year-old reality star told Radar Online that Disick is looking for an addiction expert to help salvage his relationship with Kourtney.

    “Scott is working really hard right now with his therapist and is seeking an addiction specialist to overcome his alcoholism,” the insider tells Radar. “Kourtney couldn’t be any happier with her man right now.”

    Perhaps this is because of a recent incident where Kourtney kicked Scott out because he was partied and hung out with models alongside rapper French Montana a couple of days after Kourtney gave birth to their third child. Another insider tells Life & Style, “This should be one of the happiest times in their lives. But Kourtney feels like a third baby has made Scott even more distant. She’s told Scott to stay away until he’s back on the wagon.”

    There have been rumors that Scott and Kourtney are planning to quit Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons because they are tired of the reality star lifestyle and the strain that it’s putting on their relationship. According to the rumors, the couple will make their decision as soon as their contract with E! comes to an end.

    Disick publicly battled his addiction in Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons. The show even chronicled his alcohol and pill overdose as well as his subsequent trip to rehab. However, according to Radar Online’s source, he doesn’t want to rely on the traditional programs to kick his habit.

    The insider says, “He does not want to do the 12-step method or AA because of the fact that it is really not a program of anonymity any more. He thinks people will sell him out any chance that they get. Scott trusts no one aside from Kourtney, Khloe and a few close friends.”

  • Yasmine Bleeth: ‘Baywatch’ Babe’s Enormous Weight Gain Leaves Her Nearly Unrecognizable

    Yasmine Bleeth made a name for herself when she joined the cast of Baywatch alongside David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson. During her time one the show, she became a sex symbol overnight. However, it didn’t last long. She was kicked off the show after three years because of her drug abuse.

    Despite appearing in several short-lived TV shows, Bleeth practically disappeared from the public eye. Until now, that is. Photos have surfaced of Bleeth hanging out at the beach with her husband and friends. The former Baywatch babe gained a lot of weight and was unrecognizable in the photos.

    Bleeth ditched her famous red swimsuit and opted instead to wear loose-fitting pants and and a black long-sleeved shirt. She was there to support her husband, Paul Cerrito, as he took part in the 55th Annual Penguin Plunge, where people brave the icy waters to celebrate the start of the New Year. Bleeth’s friend and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Eileen Davidson documented the event.

    Baywatch producer, Douglas Schwartz, was interviewed by Esquire back in 2012. In the interview, Schwartz talked about their problems with Bleeth and why she was fired from the show.

    “We had one issue with Yasmine Bleeth, who was doing drugs at the time,” he recalled. “And so we were dealing with Yasmine not showing up and having difficulties, again with men. That’s why we let Yasmine go off the show: because it was too difficult to deal with her after a while.”

    In November 2001, Bleeth checked herself into the world-renowned Promises rehabilitation center in Malibu. However, two weeks after being released from rehab, Bleeth was arrested in Detroit after driving into a median while high on cocaine. According to Bleeth, this became a turning point in her life and she decided to clean up her act.

    Bleeth married Cerrito, who she met in rehab, back in 2004.

  • Scarlett Johansson Will Play Lead In Ghost In The Shell; Is Hollywood Whitewashing An Anime Classic?

    Hollywood doesn’t have a stellar track record when it comes to adapting anime, and it seems the trend is going to continue with the announcement that the oft-criticized Ghost in the Shell adaptation is pushing through. The latest news about the adaptation is that Scarlett Johansson will be starring in the lead role based on Major Motoko Kusanagi, the protagonist of the source material. The 1995 anime film is heralded as a classic among fans, and along with Akira, signaled the rise of Japanese animation in the west.

    The Ghost in the Shell manga and subsequent anime adaptation proved to be successful, that it eventually became a franchise that spawned films and an animated TV series. The story revolves around a Japanese counter-terrorism team led by the cybernetically-enhanced Major Kusanagi. The Hollywood remake starring Johansson will be the first western take on the story, and will most likely transfer the action to North America instead of Japan.

    Johansson has proven herself to be a marketable female action star with recent films like Lucy and her role as Black Widow in the Avengers franchise proving to be huge box office draws. However, a lot of the fans of the original work are not happy with the casting choice. Fans took to Twitter to accuse Hollywood of “whitewashing” and choosing popular Caucasian actresses to take on roles that were meant for Asian women. One Twitter user sarcastically remarked, “Every Asian actress alive was just too busy, probably”.

    The Ghost in the Shell live action film will be directed by Snow White and The Huntsman’s Rupert Sanders from a script written by The Reluctant Fundamentalist’s Bill Wheeler. Whether or not they stick to the source material remains to be seen. Only time will tell if the film proves to be successful enough to change the minds of the naysayers. But at this point, a lot of fans are remaining skeptical.

  • Anne Hathaway Talks About Her “Disgusting” Smoking Habit

    Anne Hathaway recently revealed that she quit smoking for the second time. The 32-year-old actress admits that she became addicted to cigarettes after acting in the film Rachel Getting Married. She then took up smoking again last year while working on her upcoming film, but she managed to kick the habit a second time.

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

    Hathaway, who went cold turkey to get over her nicotine addiction, also revealed that she has nothing against electronic cigarettes.

    “I don’t judge the vape. I know some people who used to be three-pack-a-day smokers, and I’d much prefer them having the vape. I don’t want to give them any excuse not to vape,” the Interstellar actress told The New York Times.

    And it seems smoking isn’t the only habit that Anne intends on quitting. When she was asked about her New Year’s resolutions, Hathaway said, “I have one, but I don’t want to mention it because it’s scaring me. And it has nothing to do with pregnancy. But it’s not because of a problem. It’s just because why not: I’m going to really prioritize my health this year and not drink, at least not in January. I want to take a month off.”

    Hathaway also opened up about her and James Franco’s often-criticized stint as Oscar hosts. When asked about what she thinks went wrong, Hathaway told The New York Times, “I think it’s so obvious that it doesn’t even need to be identified.” However, the Les Miserables actress has high hopes for Neil Patrick Harris who will be hosting the show this year. “He’ll be great. He’s a natural host,” the actress said.

  • Isla Fisher Shows Off Baby Bump During Family Trip To Hawaii

    Isla Fisher and her family have been vacationing in Hawaii for the past 10 days. The star was photographed walking along the beach with her husband Sacha Baron Cohen. Fisher, who was clearly having fun during the trip, also sported a growing baby bump. “The two seemed really relaxed,” an eyewitness told E! News. “They were just enjoying some family time. The two were with their daughter.” The eyewitness added, “Isla and Sacha enjoyed walking on the beach together. The two showed off some PDA by kissing, but nothing over the top.”

    Cohen and Fisher are already parents to 7-year-old Olive and 4-year-old Elula. News about Fisher’s third pregnancy first broke out in September. Fisher has always made it a point to put her family first.

    In an interview with Gotham magazine, she said, “Even when you don’t take your kids with you, your mind and heart are busy with them. You’re doing the most important, incredible thing.”

    The star also doesn’t mind taking a break from making movies to raise her family. Fisher famously took 3 years off of filming after having her first two daughters. Ever since then, she decided she wanted to take on supporting roles in order to spend more time with her family.

    “Family is 100 per cent my top priority. So I’m much more comfortable doing supporting roles right now,” Fisher told The Daily Telegraph back in 2013. She adds, “And often, they’re the most interesting. You get to be a character actress.”

    Fisher recently dropped out of filming the sequel for the film Now You See Me when she found out that she was pregnant with her third child. She has since been replaced by Lizzie Caplan. Now You See Me: The Second Act will feature returning cast members Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Dave Franco, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Woody Harrelson.

  • Jennifer Aniston Reveals Her Not-So-Secret Secrets To Maintaining Her Looks

    At 45 years old, actress Jennifer Aniston still looks amazing. And it is because of that that the Friends star is featured on the cover of InStyle’s February 2015 issue. In the cover story, Aniston dishes about her thoughts on beauty and body image, as well as how she maintains her looks.

    Aniston tells the magazine, “Blasphemy, I know. I never ate pasta. I’ve been allowing myself a lot more in the past few years. Which does make it harder to lose those last few pounds. But you have to live. And so what? You go up a size. What’s the big deal?”

    She also spilled some of her beauty secrets which, as it turns out, are not quite secret at all. “I just take care of my skin, eat well, exercise,” Aniston said. The actress professed to be a fan of non-invasive beauty treatments. She says, “And I love lasers and [other noninvasive treatments like] Thermage [radio frequency] and Ultherapy [ultrasound]. I also like a good microcurrent facial.” However, she admits she is not a fan of Botox and other forms of plastic surgery. “People lose perspective. I look around and see how bad plastic surgery and injections can really kick you in the ass.”

    Aside from her beauty tips, Aniston, who’s been getting rave reviews for her performance in Cake, also opened up about her relationship with actor/writer Justin Theroux.

    “If I haven’t gotten wiser about relationships, then I should be kicked out of life school because I’ve had some really good training,” Aniston joked, referring to her very public split with Brad Pitt.

    Aniston added that the couple are already planning their upcoming nuptials. “There’s a big discussion in our house right now: Do you just do it and say screw it? Or do you try desperately to get away with [a secret ceremony] where you don’t have any fun because you’re hiding in a cave somewhere,” Aniston said. “If we could do it without all the buzzing and the noise… It can be done. Where there’s a will there’s a way.”

  • Bruce Jenner Is Reportedly Dating Kris Jenner’s BFF, Kris Left Devastated And In Tears

    A preview for an upcoming episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians shows a confrontation between Kim Kardashian and step-dad Bruce Jenner. In the clip, Kim and Bruce are seen in a restaurant with Bruce being accosted by his step-daughter over his rumored relationship with Ronda Kamihira. Jenner and Kamihira were seen hanging out immediately right after Jenner’s divorce with Kris was finalized.

    Prior to her rumored relationship with Bruce, Ronda was a family friend and was a former BFF and assistant to Kris. “Do you actually think I’m dating anybody?” Bruce responds to Kim. “She was really one of my mom’s good friends,” Kim says.  “My mom cries about it.”

    It’s been reported that Kris was not happy when rumors that Bruce and Ronda were dating started to surface.

    An insider tells People, “Kris is devastated. This was her former assistant and best friend of 20 years. Kendall and Kylie grew up with her two kids and have been their best friends.”

    Aside from the confrontation with Kim, the teaser also shows Bruce celebrating his divorce. He threw a “Bruce on the loose” party and was joined by his son Brandon Jenner, Brandon’s wife Leah, and their friends. Bruce is clearly enjoying his freedom as a single man, but it seems Kris has also moved on.  Kris started dating tour manager Corey Gamble, a man younger than Kim and Kourtney.

    And while the divorce is already behind them, it’s been rumored that Bruce still has a couple of issues with Kris… specifically, how she raises their two daughters Kendall and Kylie. It’s been reported that Bruce doesn’t approve of the men being linked to their daughters and that he blames Kris. A source for OK Magazine claims that Bruce is concerned because Kris is only focused on the fame and attention that could come from who their daughters are dating.

  • ‘My Husband’s Not Gay’: TLC’s New Show Sparks Fear And Controversy In LGBT Community

    TLC’s upcoming special, My Husband’s not Gay, is already causing controversy even before it airs. The program, which features four Mormon men from Salt Lake who are attracted to men but don’t identify as gay, has drawn the ire of GLAAD and the rest of the LGBT community. GLAAD president, Sarah Kate Ellis, said that the show is potentially dangerous.

    A Change.org petition is asking for My Husband’s not Gay’s cancellation has already gotten over 80,000 signatures. The petition was started by Josh Sanders, a gay Christian man, who agrees with Ellis’ comments that the show could be dangerous especially for the LGBT community as well as communities of faith. According to Sanders, the show “promotes the false and dangerous idea that gay people can and should choose to be straight in order to be part of their faith communities.”

    Sanders wrote, “The men featured in this show deserve to be shown compassion and acceptance. Perhaps even more importantly, TV viewers need to know the horrific consequences of trying to change who you are. Instead, TLC is presenting victims’ lives as entertainment, while sending the message that being gay is something that can and ought to be changed, or that you should reject your sexual orientation by marrying someone of the opposite sex.”

    A representative for TLC responded to the My Husband’s not Gay controversy by putting out a statement defending their programming.

    “TLC has long shared compelling stories about real people and different ways of life, without judgment,” the network said in the statement. “The individuals featured in this one-hour special reveal the decisions they have made, and speak only for themselves.”

    My Husband’s not Gay is scheduled to air on January 11.

    Zoey Deutch, of Vampire Academy fame, will be joining Zac Efron and Robert De Niro in the comedy film Dirty Grandpa. The film will be released by Lionsgate with Dan Mazer directing. The screenplay was written by John Phillips and is centered on an uptight man named Jason, played by Efron, who drives to Florida for spring break before his wedding. De Niro will be playing Jason’s father, a foul-mouthed former Army general who joins his son for the road trip. Deutch will be playing Efron’s love interest, an “earthly environmental advocate” named Shadia.

    Deutch is slowly but surely making a name for herself in Hollywood, starring in several high profile films including the upcoming baseball film from Richard Linklater called That’s What I’m Talking About. Recently, she also joined Emile Hirsch and Zoe Kravitz in the crime drama Vincent-N-Roxxy. Last year, she starred in the film Beautiful Creatures as Emily Asher and she also appeared in the TV show Switched at Birth.

    Zac Efron, who started his career in Disney’s High School Musical, has proven himself to be a capable actor on the big screen as well. He was recently seen in the comedy films Neighbors and That Awkward Moment, but he has also been involved in several high profile drama films in the past. In 2013, he appeared in the ensemble drama Parkland, which focused on the events that occurred on the day of John F. Kennedy’s assassination. He also received rave reviews for his performance in The Paperboy back in 2012.

    Efron’s next project is the film We Are Your Friends, about a DJ struggling to make his first hit. The film is written and directed by Max Joseph, who made the critically acclaimed documentary 12 Years of DFA: Too Old to Be New, Too New to Be Classic about the iconic New York record label DFA records.

  • Jessica Chambers Spoke To First Responders Before She Died

    The hunt for suspects in the Jessica Chambers murder case continues. Chambers, 19, was burned alive by unknown assailants. A murder investigation has been launched in Panola County, Mississippi due to the unusual nature surrounding Chambers’ death. According to reports, Chambers was able to talk to first responders before she died and that she used her last words to describe her killer. However, what she said to the paramedics have not been revealed to the public.

    Chambers was found on a road in Courtland after firefighters received reports of a burning car. When firefighters and paramedics arrived at the scene, they saw Chambers walking down the road covered in flames.

    Ben Chambers, Jessica’s father, talked to WDBD-TV about what happened. “They squirted lighter fluid down her throat and in her nose, and apparently they knocked her out,” Mr. Chambers, who works as a mechanic for Panola County Sherriff’s Department, said. “She had a big gash on top of her head. When the fire department got there, she was walking down the road on fire. The only part of her body that wasn’t burned was the bottom of her feet.”

    A surveillance video was released of Jessica in a gas station 90 minutes before the incident. The footage shows Chambers waving to someone off camera and talking to them. According to convenience store manager Ali Fadhel, Chambers was a regular. During the night of the incident, he said he saw her talking to someone when she arrived and that she received a phone call on her way out of the store. Fadhel said that after she pumped gas, she re-entered the store to buy cigarettes and then she drove away.

    Assistant District Attorney Jay Hale says he can’t comment on Fadhel’s statements. “We’re interviewing every possible witness. These witnesses certainly could be possible suspects,” he said.

  • Cheryl Burke Ditches DWTS For New TV Show

    It has been confirmed that Cheryl Burke will not be joining Dancing with the Stars next season. The news came right after it was revealed that DWTS judge Len Goodman will also be leaving the show after the next season. According to reports, Burke will be leaving the ABC dance competition for a new show at NBC. The still-untitled show is still in its early stages, but sources claim that it will be a competition reality show where Burke will perform. Prior to the announcement of her departure, rumors have circulated that Burke was interested in becoming a judge for the show that she has been part of for 10 years.

    Burke issued a statement explaining the reasons behind her departure from Dancing with the Stars. She said in the statement, “I never thought I’d be able to walk away. But after a decade of something, it’s time for me to move on and try something different, to be challenged, to feel inspired. Dancing with the Stars will always be a part of my life.” She continued, “Dancing is what I’ve done since I was a little girl. But it was very clear the show only wanted me back as a dancer. They weren’t interested in using me for other things and letting me grow.”

    Cheryl also talked about how her contract with Dancing with the Stars restricted her from doing anything else. She said the same thing to TV Guide in an interview back in October. “Contractually, my contract is over and there’s other opportunities that have been out there for me. It’s so hard for me to talk about this, because I owe my life to Dancing with the Stars. They’ve changed my life completely. They’re my family and it’s always hard to say goodbye,” Burke said in the interview.

  • Anni Dewani’s Mother Calls Shrien Dewani A “Coward”

    Shrien Dewani was recently cleared by a South African court of any involvement in the murder of his wife, Anni Dewani. The 34-year-old millionaire was accused of hiring hitmen to murder his wife during their honeymoon in South Africa. Shortly after the ruling, Mr. Dewani flew back to the UK. It’s been reported that Mr. Dewani received VIP treatment during the nine-hour flight as well as upon arrival in Gatwick early this morning. A passenger in the flight claimed, “He looked quite at ease. He had a quick chat with the pilot when he passed through the cabin.”

    Anni’s family are still in shock following the verdict. Nilam Hindocha, Anni’s mother, spoke to the press for the first time since the trial. “He didn’t have the guts to face us. He was a coward in the court, always a coward,” Mrs. Hindocha told the press after seeing footage of Dewani’s arrival back in Gatwick. “I don’t think any other men would leave their wives like that. If he really loved her he would have fought for her,” Mrs. Hindocha added. “I didn’t see any marks on him, there was no sign that he had put up any fight for her. He had thought only about himself.”

    And while the murder case is now out of the South African court’s hands, Anni’s family vows that it’s not over yet. “We are looking at all the options that are presented to us, we need to get our family together back home and think over this during the forthcoming holidays and consult with our lawyers how to go on with this matter,” Anni’s uncle, Ashok Hindocha, told The Independent.

    The prosecutors for the case argued that Shrien, who admitted to being bi-sexual during the trial, felt that he was trapped in the marriage. However, the case was thrown out by presiding judge Jeanette Traverso because she claims that the evidence presented against Mr. Dewani was filled with contradictions.

  • Stephanie Moseley’s Friends And Colleagues Mourn Her Death

    On December 8, the bodies of actress and dancer Stephanie Moseley and rapper Earl Hayes were discovered inside their apartment. The police have concluded that Hayes shot himself after killing his wife. Moseley’s close friends and family are now mourning the tragic loss. “She was this wide-eyed, beautiful girl. She was cautious and she never wanted to be the focus of the room – unless she was on stage,” said Rachel Poirier, Moseley’s former dance teacher. Poirier taught Moseley from the ages of 12 to 18 years old, but the two remained friends.

    Stephanie was an actress from Vancouver who was last seen in the VH1 show Hit the Floor. VH1 released a statement right after her passing, saying, “VH1 and the entire ‘Hit the Floor’ family send our thoughts and condolences to her family and friends at this difficult time.” Moseley’s Hit the Floor co-star, Dean Cain, also expressed his grief. “Stephanie was exceptionally beautiful, an absolutely amazing and incredible dancer, and judging by how the other girls spoke about her, a lovely human being,” he said. “I’m heartbroken and saddened.”

    In a statement released by the LAPD, they discussed the details surrounding the case. According to the statement, police arrived at the scene after receiving reports of a shooting in the 300 block of Hauser Avenue. Additional gunshots were heard by the policemen who arrived at the scene. SWAT officers entered the apartment and found the bodies of Moseley and Hayes inside.

     

    Earl Hayes, son of Isaac Hayes, is known to be a close friend of boxer Floyd Mayweather. TMZ reported that Hayes was talking to the boxer on Facetime prior to shooting Moseley. According to reports, an infuriated Hayes told Mayweather of his plan to kill his wife because she was being unfaithful. Mayweather told him not to do it, but Hayes carried out the murder before shooting himself.

    It’s been reported that Mayweather acknowledges that he heard everything that transpired, but he will not divulge what he saw.

  • Al Pacino May Star In A Future Marvel Movie

    It’s no secret that screen legend Al Pacino is a big fan of Guardians of The Galaxy. Earlier this year, Pacino talked about how much he loved the film after seeing it with his children.  In an interview with MTV.com during the Toronto International Film Festival, the Scarface star simply said, “I’m ready to go to Marvel.” Well, it seems Marvel is ready for Pacino as well. In an episode of Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, Pacino revealed that he has met with Marvel executives for a possible role in future films.

    “I’ve met with the Marvel guy,” said Pacino, talking about the studio’s president Kevin Feige. “It’s a Marvel how things happen.” He joked. “I would imagine that either there’s something he feels is right for me…” Pacino was then interrupted by a phone call, with the actor joking that it’s probably Marvel’s people telling him to keep quiet. He said, “Every time we talk about Marvel, that’s what happens.”

    Pacino also talked more about his love for Guardians of The Galaxy, admitting that he was surprised that he enjoyed it as much as he did. According to the actor, he just wanted to go see something where he could just “shut his brain off” while his children watched. “But with this movie, I was taken up,” he said. “It was inventive, funny, and strong in sound and music. The production of it, the ingenuity of it… I was really impressed.”

    Pacino was also surprised that people were making a big deal about him being vocal about his love for Guardians of The Galaxy. “Why wouldn’t I like a movie like that, appreciate a movie like that? I’m not necessarily going to be in it, but there’s value to it,” he said.

    Marvel recently revealed their upcoming slate of movies which includes three Avengers films as well as a sequel to Guardians of The Galaxy.

  • Jamie Lee Curtis and Emma Roberts To Star In “Scream Queens”

    Ryan Murphy, the man behind hit shows Glee and American Horror Story, will be producing another show for Fox called Scream Queens. It was announced back in October that the show was picked up straight-to-series by Fox, based solely on Murphy’s track record. When the announcement was made, they hadn’t even settled on who the stars in the show would be. But now, the search for Murphy’s “scream queens” is over. It’s been reported that Jamie Lee Curtis and Emma Roberts have been cast in the ensemble comedy-horror anthology. However, details about their roles on the show are still uncertain.

    Roberts and Curtis have proven that they have the acting chops to do both horror and comedy. Roberts, who was recently seen in the third and fourth seasons of American Horror Story, showed she could do comedy in films like We’re The Millers. Curtis, who’s known for comedy films like Freaky Friday, started out her career doing horror films including Halloween, The Fog, Terror Train, and Prom Night.

    Murphy is known for giving older actresses great roles in his shows. Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, and Angela Bassett have been given high-quality material in American Horror Story. The casting of Curtis proves that he sets out to do for the actress what he has done for Lange in American Horror Story. It is also worth noting that Curtis hasn’t appeared in any movies in a while, especially nothing remotely related to the horror genre.

    Roberts’ partnership with Curtis also proved to be a fruitful one, with the third and fourth seasons of American Horror Story getting high ratings and rave reviews from critics.

    The format for Scream Queens will follow that of American Horror Story, with each season having an entirely new plot and cast of characters. Plot details are scarce, but reports claim that the first season of Scream Queens will take place in a college campus where countless of murders take place.

  • Dan Bilzerian Arrested For Attempting To Make a Bomb

    Dan Bilzerian, the social media celebrity who’s known as “The King of Instagram”, was arrested on December 9 after landing at LAX. According to the LAPD, Bilzerian was picked up on an out-of-state warrant which was issued in Clark County, Nevada. He is facing charges of possessing and manufacturing explosive illegal devices. On November 13, a criminal complaint was filed accusing him of possessing ammonium and aluminum powder as well an ammonium nitrate mix. When the three ingredients are mixed together, it could result in a bomb that acts like pure TNT.

    Bilzerian was initially held without bail, but was eventually released. According to the LA Times, Bilzerian’s attorney was able to get the arrest warrant recalled through the Nevada state courts system. Due to the fact that Bilzerian is facing charges in Nevada and not California, the police couldn’t keep him locked up behind bars. Bilzerian was charged alongside Jeremy David Guymon in the case and the two are expected to appear in a Las Vegas court on January 9 for their arraignment.

    While Bilzerian is free for now, his legal troubles are far from over. A lawsuit was filed against Bilzerian by Vanessa Castano, who claims that he kicked her in the face while wearing military boots. The incident happened while the social media star was onstage at a Miami nightclub called LIV. According to reports, Bilzerian kicked Castano because she was blocking him as he was trying to help another woman get on the stage.

    Dan Bilzerian made a name for himself after amassing more than 5.7 million followers on the social networking site, Instagram. He’s been known to document his lavish lifestyle, with his Instagram account containing countless pictures of scantily clad models, an arsenal of weapons, as well as his collection of yachts and an assortment of vehicles.

    I’m no lawyer, but I think she’s legally mine…

  • Sasha Alexander And Angie Harmon’s Show Gets Renewed On TNT

    It’s been announced that Rizzoli and Isles has been picked up by TNT for another season. The police procedural starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander proved to be one of TNT’s more successful shows. According to TNT, the show “finished this past summer as basic cable’s No. 1 series and has ranked as one of basic cable’s Top 5 series for five consecutive years, including 2014 to date”. The sixth season of Rizzoli and Isles is slated to air next summer.

    Rizzoli and Isles is just the latest show to be renewed by TNT. Last week, they announced that they will be picking up the Sean Bean vehicle Legends for a 10-episode second season. Other shows that were picked up by the network are the dramas Major Crimes, Falling Skies, The Last Ship, and Murder in the First.

    Based on the work of crime novelist Tess Gerritsen, Rizzoli and Isles stars Harmon as the tough Boston police detective Jane Rizolli and Sasha Alexander as the smart medical examiner Maura Isles. Despite being polar opposites, the two offbeat friends work together to solve crime in the streets of Boston.

    Rizzoli and Isles premiered in 2010, with the show starting out strong in the ratings. It immediately became one of TNT’s more well-known shows, and consistently generated good numbers for the network.

    Both Harmon and Alexander have TV backgrounds, appearing as regulars in other crime shows before working together in Rizzoli and Isles. Prior to her work in Rizzoli and Isles, Harmon’s last big TV role was as a regular cast member in the long-running police drama Law and Order. Alexander on the other hand, is known for her role as Special Agent Caitlin Todd in NCIS.

    One of Alexander’s earlier roles was in Dawson’s Creek as Gretchen Witter, which she played for a total of 20 episodes.

  • Candice Swanepoel Talks About Preparing For Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

    South African supermodel, Candice Swanepoel, is riding high right now. The Victoria’s Secret model is currently 10th in Forbes’ list of top-earning models, plus she also took part in the hugely successful Victoria’s Secret fashion show last week. The flawless beauty is also blessed by having great metabolism. In an interview with Fox & Friends, Swanepoel revealed that she didn’t undergo a diet in the month leading up to the Victoria’s Secret fashion show.

    Swanepoel explained that she actually increased her food intake as part of her preparation. “Everyone’s different. Everyone’s body is different,” she said during the interview. “I have to eat a lot more to be able to work out a lot more.” Candice talked more about her training regimen prior to the fashion show. “About a month before, I start working out a lot more than I usually do. I do boxing. I do Pilates on the machine. I do a lot of lunges,” the model said. “I ran on the beach this year, which really tightens everything up.”

    InStyle caught up with Swanepoel behind the scenes of the Victoria’s Secret fashion show to see how the models prepare before hitting the runway. “It’s the calm before the storm right now,” Swanepoel told the magazine. “We’re all enjoying being together but about to become quite chaotic!”

    Candice talked about her very busy day, saying, “The morning of the show, I get up early, I do a workout, and then we just get right into hair and makeup most of the day until the show starts.” She added, “There’s a lot of hype and anxiety the morning before the show begins, so we’re always just trying to keep it all together!”

    And how did she celebrate after a successful fashion show? In a video for Refinery29, the model revealed that her victory meal was a beer and a burger.

  • Hailey Baldwin Says She And Justin Bieber Are Just Friends

    Rumors have been circulating recently about whether or not model Hailey Baldwin and pop superstar Justin Bieber are dating. The two have been spending a lot of time together lately as evidenced by their photos on their respective Instagram pages, but Hailey claims that the two are just friends. E! News interviewed Baldwin at the red carpet during the Exodus premiere. The 18-year-old model was quick to dismiss the rumors, saying, “I’ve known him since I was so young—since I was like 13—and we’ve just been good friends over the years. We have just stayed close and there’s nothing more to it than that.”

    One of the photos adding fuel to the rumors is a shot of the two in a recording studio locked in a passionate embrace. The two have also been seen in public together a bunch of times. Recently, they’ve been seen sitting courtside for an LA Clippers game, shopping at Target, and playing in an arcade.

    A source tells The Daily Mirror that Bieber is spoiling Baldwin. The insider said, “Hailey’s birthday was on November 22 so when she got to New York, Justin made sure to spoil her and treat her like a princess.” Another insider claims that while Justin seems to be intent on making a move on Hailey, she is being cautious. “Justin usually gets what he wants and he’s trying to seal the deal with Hailey. But she’s being a bit cautious. Hailey doesn’t want to just be another girl on Justin’s list. Right now, she’s treating this relationship as a friendship,” the insider said.

    Baldwin has been making a name for herself in the modeling world, recently appearing in V Magazine and in the Topshop Unique Show at London Fashion Week. Her dad, Stephen Baldwin, couldn’t be more proud of her accomplishments. “The cool thing is Hailey has mostly generated all of her own momentum,” he told E! News.
