  • Katie Cassidy, Chrissy Teigen: Twitter Brawl Over Erin Andrews

    Katie Cassidy and Chrissy Teigen engaged in a Twitter brawl of sorts on Sunday during the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers football game. The topic of their feud was Fox’s Erin Andrews.

    It seems Katie Cassidy’s Arrow costar Stephen Arnell may have inadvertently started the back-and-forth with a tweet, but Cassidy and Teigen grabbed a hold and didn’t let go–at least not for a while.

    Erin Andrews had reportedly wrapped up her interview with the Seattle Seahawks’ star cornerback Richard Sherman. Sherman made headlines in 2014 for his bizarre sideline chat with Andrews, and had stayed on the field despite an elbow injury.

    It was at this point that Katie Cassidy jumped in, complaining about Erin Andrews.

    At this point the Twitter exchange, Chrissy Teigen, who is a good friend of Erin Andrews, interjected her two cents worth into the mix, which served only to further incite Katie Cassidy. Are you following this yet? Erin Andrews stayed mum throughout, however. Did she really have much choice? She was, after all, covering the game from the sidelines.

    The feud gained steam with others jumping in on the ‘conversation,’ however absolutely nothing of substance was said. It is worth noting that the entire Twitter brawl became kind of personal between Katie Cassidy and Chrissy Teigen.

    Cassidy’s last comment prompted John Legend’s supermodel wife to turn the tables back on her new opponent.

    Katie Cassidy got the last word in, however.

    Will the former Gossip Girl star and Chrissy Teigen simply let this go? Or is will this Twitter war go back into battle if Erin Andrews is on the sidelines when the Seattle Seahawks play the New England Patriots in the upcoming Super Bowl? Maybe someone should put a bug in Stephen Arnell’s ear, asking him to keep his thoughts about football off Twitter?

  • Kristin Chenoweth Subtly Disses Ex-Boyfriend Dana Brunetti on Twitter and He Tweets Back

    Kristin Chenoweth made a subtle diss Sunday against her ex-boyfriend Dana Brunetti on Twitter, and he just couldn’t resist the urge to respond to her tweet.

    The 46-year-old actress tweeted her satisfaction that the Showtime series The Affair and star Ruth Wilson beat out HBO’s House of Cards — the show Brunetti produces — for Best Drama at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards.

    “So happy The Affair won tonight. #deserving love Ruth Wilson xo,” tweeted the The Opposite Sex actress.

    Brunetti quickly understood her little passive-aggressive barb and retweeted her message, adding a simple word that says so much.

    “Ha,” he added to the retweet.

    Chenoweth and Brunetti broke up in November after dating for a year, and It must have stung a bit for the 46-year-old Wicked actress when her ex showed up on the Golden Globes red carpet with his reported new girl, 28-year-old Arrow actress Katie Cassidy.

    “Katie is really falling hard for Dana and the feeling is mutual,” a source told E! Online. “She hasn’t felt this way about a man in some time. He just gets her and their time together is always filled with laughter. They’ve been friends for a long time before they got intimate and that’s the main reason why it’s working out so well.”

    Meanwhile, Chenoweth has been busy preparing for some upcoming films, including The Boy Next Door with Jennifer Lopez and Hard Sell with Skyler Gisondo.

  • Katie Cassidy Flaunts Amazing Abs While on R&R in Miami

    Katie Cassidy was looking mighty fine Saturday while flaunting her amazing abs in a bikini in Miami Beach.

    The Arrow star is taking a break from filming the CW series and enjoying some much deserved rest and relaxation in sunny Florida.

    According to Just Jared, the 28-year-old has been seen wearing a variety of bikinis, each one outdoing the next.

    On Friday, she was snapped once again on the beach and hitting up the pool with a group of friends.

    Also on Saturday, Katie‘s co-stars Stephen Amell and Manu Bennett were seen navigating Vancouver, Canada’s airport on their way to some unknown destination. The CW show is filmed in Vancouver.

    Those abs don’t come without work. Cassidy spoke with Access Hollywood in November about training for the series.

    “I’m working out and training at least 2-3 hours a day, and sometimes I’m on set for 12-15 hours, so it gets really tiring, but it’s so worth it.” Cassidy said, “I’m so happy, and I’m having a blast, and it was really crazy one day when I woke up and all of the sudden I had biceps! I was like ‘Oh, okay, I have shoulders and biceps and this is awesome!”

    “She may have kissed me in the hallway,” Donnell said.

    “We were literally starting rehearsals two days later, and I was like, ‘What did I just do? I do not want a boyfriend right now,’ and I’d known him for so long,” Murin said. “Everyone was always like, ‘Colin is so good looking, he’s so hot’…And I was like, ‘Really? I just don’t see it.’ And then when I went back into my apartment that night my best friend was still there and I was like, ‘I see it now. I get it.’”

    “We kept [the relationship] quiet for awhile; up until we started actual performances,” Murin said. “It was like one of those surprise things — and now we live together and have a dog.”

    Donnell played Tommy Merlyn on the CW series Arrow and is currently starring on Showtime series The Affair. He is also known for his roles in Broadway musicals such as Anything Goes and Jersey Boys.

  • Katie Cassidy Becomes The Black Canary: First Photos

    In an upcoming episode of Arrow, Katie Cassidy finally becomes the Black Canary.

    The CW recently released pictures of Cassidy fully dressed in the Black Canary costume.

    In the hit series, Sara Lane (Caity Lotz), the sister of Laurel Lane (Cassidy), was the original Black Canary. Arrow‘s second season finale hinted about Cassidy’s upcoming hero gig. Sara left Starling City to rejoin the League of Assassins. She gave Laurel the Black Canary’s tradmark leather jacket. Sara’s death was revealed on the season 3 premiere. Her death led to Laurel’s season 3 story-arc, which revolves around avenging Sara’s death.

    In the last episode of Arrow, “The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak,” Laurel began to train with Ted “Wildcat” Grant (J.R. Ramirez), a boxer and former vigilante. Cassidy spoke with Access Hollywood about training for the series.

    “I’m working out and training at least 2-3 hours a day, and sometimes I’m on set for 12-15 hours, so it gets really tiring, but it’s so worth it.” Cassidy continued by saying, “I’m so happy, and I’m having a blast, and it was really crazy one day when I woke up and all of the sudden I had biceps! I was like ‘Oh, okay, I have shoulders and biceps and this is awesome!”

    According to TVLine, the training was to fulfill her “comic book trajectory,” a detail revealed by Arrow‘s Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim.

    Cassidy will complete her Black Canary transition in Arrow season 3 episode 10, “Left Behind.” This is the midseason premiere of the series, which airs in January 2015.

    The Arrow winter finale airs on Dec. 10.

    Access Hollywood also spoke to Cassidy in 2012 about Arrow‘s premiere. She told them about her excitement over becoming part of the comic book world, and her hopes for becoming the Black Canary. “Yeah. That would be awesome. Doing like an action film or TV has always been something that I wanted to get involved with and this is a really good opportunity and we’ll see if it happens.”

  • Kacy Catanzaro Talks ‘American Ninja Warrior’ Accomplishment, Future Aspirations

    Kacy Catanzaro made history July 14 when she became the first woman to complete the American Ninja Warrior obstacle course, landing herself a spot in the finals.

    The former NCAA gymnast told Entertainment Weekly the outpouring of support she’s received following her victory has been amazing.

    Fans and celebrities have been giving shout-outs to the triumphant athlete — including a congratulatory video from her gymnastics hero, 2008 Olympic All-Around gold medalist Nastia Liukin.

    But there is still one person Catanzaro would love to hear from — Arrow star Stephen Amell, a self-proclaimed Ninja Warrior superfan, who has worked out with Catanzaro’s boyfriend and trainer Brent Steffensen. Catanzaro said she loves Amell’s Superhero Workout workout video, noting that “his form is just tip-top. Maybe he could teach me some things. I wouldn’t hate that.”

    The nearly 10-minute finals course included balancing obstacles, the salmon ladder and the much-dreaded spider climb.

    Catanzaro said she dreams of becoming a stuntwoman.

    “Definitely,” said Catanzaro. “My boyfriend Brent, he’s been a stuntman for like five years. Every time I watch him, I’m like, ‘I would love to do that,’ but it is so hard to get into.”

    She admitted it’s not easy to become a stuntwoman, noting that some people can be in Hollywood for up to 10 years and still not crack into the competitive stunt industry.

    “I do hope that some people will notice me and this might get me in that world. I want to do that sometime soon,” she said.

    Catanzaro also suggested she might marry Steffensen in Vegas if she wins the final, maybe using an Elvis impersonator.

    “I’m not going to say we didn’t joke about it,” she said.

  • Katherine Heigl Doesn’t See Herself as Being “Difficult”

    Katherine Heigl took the opportunity to address accusations that she’s a difficult actress to work with during her appearance at NBC’s Television Critics Association summer press tour on Sunday.

    “I certainly don’t see myself as being difficult. I would never intend to be difficult,” Heigl said when asked to address rumors that have circulated for a few years now.

    “I think it’s important to everybody to conduct themselves professionally and respectfully and kindly, so if I’ve ever disappointed somebody, it was never intentional.”

    In September 2013 The Hollywood Reporter published an article in which several sources were quoted as saying that both Heigl and her mother Nancy were extremely difficult to work with.

    “She can cost you time every single day of shooting,” an insider said. “Wardrobe issues, not getting out of the trailer, questioning the script every single day.”

    The source went on to criticize Heigl’s mother:

    “I have never experienced anything like Nancy Heigl … It’s about the mouth. ‘F— you. You are a f—ing liar.’ … Whatever you’d say, you were an idiot.”

    Back in 2008 Heigl said that her mother managed “everything – finances, agents, lawyers, publicists, contacts with studios, producers, all of it.”

    Heigl had nothing but praise for her mother:

    “She didn’t care if she made any friends in this town. Her job was to protect me and to be very fierce in defending me. I always have one person saying, ‘If you don’t want to do it, you don’t have to do it.’ … My mother was the only one who thought what I wanted was important.

    She is really smart and really savvy, and she refuses to make choices based on fear. This is a fear-dominated industry; it’s about rise and fall, and my mother refuses to be intimidated by that. This is all a game of chicken, and my mother is really good at chicken.”

    Not everyone agrees that Heigl is such a difficult actress to work with, including Greg Berlanti (Arrow, Brothers & Sisters) who directed her in Life as We Know It:

    “I would work with her again in a heartbeat. She’s an amazing actress, and her in a TV show that’s a great idea and well executed would be something I would watch and would feel lucky to work on myself.”

    Anthony Burns, who directed Heigl in the upcoming low-budget comedy North of Hell, defended both the actress and her mother:

    “I’m from Texas. I like honesty and to be cool and have a beer and laugh, and they are most definitely like that.”

    Burns described Heigl as “a good old girl who likes to speak her mind.”

    Many believe that Heigl will attempt to restore her professional image with her recent return to the small screen.

    “She’s really determined to put everything behind her,” said an unnamed studio executive. “The only way to do that is to go to work in film or television with good people and for those people to have good things to report back. And it’s not an overnight thing.”

    The small screen venture is NBC’s CIA drama titled State of Affairs. Heigl stars as an agent who is brought in from the field to be the president’s (played by Alfre Woodard) daily briefer.

    And mother and daughter continue to work together: Heigl and Nancy are two of the executive producers of the series, which is set to air November 17.

    State of Affairs marks Heigl’s first television role since she starred as Dr. Izzie Stevens in Grey’s Anatomy from 2005 to 2010. Her work on the long-running ABC series made her a household name and earned her an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
