    Laura Prepon Of ‘Orange Is the New Black’ Dishes On How She Lost Weight For Good

    Laura Prepon of Orange Is the New Black recently opened up about her weight struggles as a teenagerand how she overcame them for good.

    Because of her instant fame as a teenager on That ’70s Show, Prepon told Entertainment Tonight that life growing up in front of the America was difficult for her self-esteem and weight issues.

    “There were so many nights where I would wake up in the middle of the night like, ‘Oh my God! I have to be on camera tomorrow, and I’m so stressed out. How do I lose 10 pounds in eight hours?’” she said.

    Prepon said she began a cycle of crash diets ofter suffering bloating and low energy. During that time, she would starve herself and even went so far as to use hormone injections to control her weight, with little to no success in keeping the unwanted pounds off.

    Once Laura Prepon established a “clean eating” routine, her weight issues became a thing of the past.

    Her plan included creating “The Stash Plan” with nutritionist Elizabeth Troy, which has been made into a New York Times best-selling cookbook called The Stash Plan: Your 21-Day Guide to Shed Weight, Feel Great, and Take Charge of Your Health.

    “Twice a week you have these easy cooking sessions,” she said, explaining the 21-day program. “You cook a stash, put it in your fridge and every morning you build your meals from it. That really is the crux of it.”

    Orange Is the New Black returns to Netflix streaming on June 17.

    Speaking of Laura Prepon (Alex) and her crazy love affair with Taylor, It was only a few days ago when Laura Prepon admitted that she likes kissing Taylor more than Topher Grace (Eric) from That 70’s Show.

    When asked who was the better kisser, she said, “Oh, man! Topher would kill me, but I’m gonna say Taylor.”

  • Laura Prepon: “Orange is the New Black” Star Talks Diversity at SAG Awards

    Laura Prepon and her Orange is the New Black cast mates celebrated a big win at the SAG Awards this weekend, accepting the award for the Best Ensemble in a TV Comedy.

    To Prepon, however, that wasn’t the only win she and her cast mates were celebrating.

    “This is such an honor Look at this stage! This is what we talk about, when we talk about diversity! Different race, color, creed, sexual orientation,” Laura Prepon said during her speech, for Orange is the New Black’s second SAG win of the evening.

    Uzo Aduba won the show’s first award of the evening for Best Comedic TV Actress for her role as Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren.

    “This wouldn’t be possible without [series creator] Jenji Kohan, for never shying away from telling these incredible stories,” Laura Prepon continued.

    “Piper, this wouldn’t be possible without your memoir!” she added, addressing the woman behind Orange is the New Black, Piper Kerman.

    Idris Elba kept Laura Prepon’s diversity theme going when he accepted two awards on Saturday. He won for Supporting Actor for his role in the film Beasts of No Nation, as well as the award for Lead Performance in the BBC miniseries Luther.

    “Ladies and gentleman, welcome to diverse TV,” he said as he later returned to the stage as one of the evening’s presenters.

    Other signs of diversity at the SAG Awards included Queen Latifah’s win for her role as singer Bessie Smith in HBO’s Addison to Elba and Viola Davis for How to Get Away With Murder.

    Kudos to Idris Elba and Laura Prepon for recognizing the diversity at this weekend’s SAG Awards. Might they be paving the way for next year’s Academy Awards?

  • Laura Prepon Dishes Up Some Bizarre Scientology in Interview

    Laura Prepon is a Scientologist. You’ve probably heard a bit or two about Scientology. Maybe you saw that Tom Cruise video a few years back where he went on and on about Scientology “tech” and how only Scientologists can really help people.

    When Laura Prepon spoke to Celebrity Magazine, which is an official Scientology publication, she went all out with the lingo. To an outsider, Scientology may sound pretty far-fetched. But some wonder if there may be something to it if celebrities like Prepon, Tom Cruise, Kirstie Alley, and a host of others credit it with their success.

    “So when I first got into Scientology, I did Personal Values and Integrity and then Overcoming Ups and Downs in Life. These courses touched on the observations I was aware of when I was younger. It was right there in black and white. It was amazing, and I felt that finally something was speaking my language. It totally connected with me. Pretty soon after that I got onto the Purification Rundown, and I started moving up the Bridge.”

    Laura Prepon says the Auditing process in Scientology has given her a perspective on her career that serves her.

    ” A big realization I had in my auditing is that there is a bigger picture,” Prepon said. “This is my career but it does not define me. I am so much bigger than this career and industry. It’s my job and it’s very important to me, but, when I have huge wins in session, and when you really cognate that you are a thetan and you have a mind and body, and that the MEST universe does not control you—it puts things into perspective. It takes the weight off you and things become very easy.”

    Prepon says that the auditing process “has stripped away all of this charge, false ideas, decisions and mis-emotions that were affecting me. I can move so freely up and down the Tone Scale.”

    Prepon worried that she might miss her emotions as an actress.

    “I used to have this funny idea that the higher I went up the Bridge, I wouldn’t be as emotional about stuff. And I was worried because I’m an actress and as an artist, I need to tap into my emotions! What soon started happening was that the higher I went on the Bridge and the more auditing I had, I could move so much more freely on the Tone Scale. My emotions were so much more tangible and easy to access.”

  • Laura Prepon Gets Letter From Real ‘Orange Is The New Black’ Alex

    Laura Prepon is famous for playing a woman in prison. But there is a real woman behind Prepon’s character on Orange Is the New Black. For the longest time, Prepon did not get to talk with her, but now she has. Prepon is thrilled that her inspiration is pleased with her work.

    Laura Prepon’s character on OITNB is Alex Vause. She is paramour to the show’s central character, Piper Chapman. While Piper is based on real-life Piper Kernan, who write the book Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison, the character of Alex is based on Cleary Wolters.

    Prepon did not get to meet Wolters when she took on the role, but she wanted to.

    “When we first started the show I wanted to meet with her and pick her brain and talk to her, you know, and I wasn’t allowed to. She was kind of MIA,” Prepon explains.

    While Orange Is the New Black is described as a “dramedy,” they do take liberties with how things really are in prison. Prepon was not sure how Wolters would feel about that.

    But Wolters recently published a memoir of her own, capitalizing on the OITNB popularity. Her book is called Out of Orange: A Memoir, and she sets the record straight about a few things.

    Wolters sent Laura Prepon a signed copy of her memoir, along with a letter.

    “She basically was like, ‘Thank you so much for your portrayal,’” Laura Prepon says.

    Wolters is grateful to Prepon, but she has spoken about some things in which the show varies from real life. For example, Wolters insists that she and Piper never had sex.

    “We did not have sex in prison,” Wolters says, “Not even a little bit.”

    “Praying is about the most intimate thing two people can do in some places, not sex,” Wolters says. “We made some mean dinners together, though, out of cans of cheese, corn chips, and chili, and Piper learned how to communicate effectively through a toilet.”

    But Wolters understands the need to stretch the reality of life in prison a bit for a show, including some parts of Laura Prepon’s portrayal of her. She says the true story would be “so wretched and stinky, it would quite possibly result in a collapsed universe. So I guess it’s a good thing Piper and Jenji stick with the fun little tidbits.”

    Wolters’ book, Out of Orange is described as “an intimate look at international drug crime—a seemingly glamorous lifestyle that dazzles unsuspecting young women and eventually leads them to the seedy world of prison.”

    The scene Wolters paints is not quite the same as Laura Prepon and her fellow cast mates on OITNB put on screen.

    “We were ghosts of the humans we had once been, milling about amongst hundreds of other human ghosts, shackled and chained, prodded through transport centers at gunpoint, moved through holding facilities,” says Wolters

  • Laura Prepon Talks About Her Character, Alex, Says She’s “Broken”

    Laura Prepon is amazing as Alex Vause on the hit show, Orange is the New Black.

    Interestingly enough, Laura Prepon didn’t ever meet with the real-life ex-con who is the inspiration for her role.

    That woman is named Catherine Cleary Wolters and apparently she likes the job Laura Prepon is doing in playing her, so would a meet-up ever be a possibility in the future?

    Laura Prepon said that Wolters recently sent her a copy of her memoir, Out of Orange, with a nice letter.

    Laura Prepon explained, “She basically was like, ‘Thank you so much for your portrayal.’”

    Feeling the love from these beautiful people! #orangecon #alexvause #season3

    She added, “I was actually really pleasantly surprised because I wasn’t sure how she was going to take the fact that I’m playing it a certain way.”

    By that, Laura Prepon probably means the difference in the show’s portrayal of relationships and what happened in real life. Last year, Wolters told Vanity Fair, “We did not have sex in prison. Not even a little bit.”

    She added of her actual encounters with her fellow inmates, “We were ghosts of the humans we had once been, milling about amongst hundreds of other human ghosts, shackled and chained, prodded through transport centers at gunpoint, moved through holding facilities.”

    A meeting between Laura Prepon and Catherine Cleary Wolters wasn’t always in the cards.

    Prepon said, “When we first started the show I wanted to meet with her and pick her brain and talk to her, you know, and I wasn’t allowed to. She was kind of MIA.”

    Time will tell if Wolters will appreciate the new direction Laura Prepon is taking her character, Alex, in the new season.

    Laura Prepon was kind enough to give a hint about what will be going on.

    She said, “Alex is broken. She basically doesn’t know how she got back in to prison, she feels like an idiot that she has freedom again and she doesn’t know how she got back in there and it’s a situation. But it’s great, you see all these sides to her that you haven’t necessarily seen before.”

    That sounds awesome! Are you looking forward to enjoying the new direction Laura Prepon takes Alex on the new season of Orange is the New Black?

  • Laura Prepon Dishes On Season 3 Of ‘Orange Is The New Black’

    Laura Prepon Dishes On Season 3 Of ‘Orange Is The New Black’

    Laura Prepon has been giving the scoop on what is ahead in the third season of the hit Netflix original series Orange is the New Black.

    In the show, the actress plays Alex Vause. Vause is a federal inmate who was convicted on drug trafficking charges. Vause is also the complicated lesbian girlfriend of the protagonist, Piper Chapman.

    The last season of OITNB, Prepon’s character got a plea deal for naming a drug lord in court which freed Vause from prison. However, her cooperation with the legal system wasn’t enough to take the vindictive kingpin down.

    Just before the end of season 2, Chapman, which is played by Taylor Schilling, set Vause up for a parole violation that landed her back in prison for season 3.

    Prepon’s character is not going to be the same confident, self-assured lady they got to know in season one. She’s wracked with self-doubt and as Prepon labeled it, “feels like a fool.”

    “She doesn’t know how she got back in, she doesn’t know that Piper is the reason for it, and I think she just feels foolish and stupid,” said Prepon. “Now that she had that freedom and it was taken away again, I think she just has lost faith in herself, has lost faith in her and Piper and is kind of a little hopeless.”

    OITNB is based on a true story created by Jenji Kohan.

    Just recently, Prepon stated that Catherine Wolters reached out to her to applaud her portrayal of the role. Wolters is the woman behind the inspiration of Prepon’s character.

    According to Prepon, Wolters sent her a copy of Out of Orange with “a very nice letter.”

    Before Laura Prepon became popular as Vause in OITNB, she was first best known as Donna Pinciotti from That 70s Show.

  • Laura Prepon: OITNB Not Canceled

    Laura Prepon: OITNB Not Canceled

    Laura Prepon has really been run through the rumor mill this week. First, the That 70’s Show cutie has been married off in the presses because she was caught trying on a white Isabelle Armstrong Haute Couture evening dress at Bergdorf Goodman on Tuesday.

    Turned out the fuss was over nothing, as she was getting set to host Bella Magazine’s All-White Party in the Hamptons on July 26th. Well, I’m sure the dress looked fabulous anyway.

    Just as that story was put to rest, another blossomed about Laura Prepon’s show, Orange Is The New Black. Someone spread a rumor that the incredibly popular Netflix series had been canceled.

    The announcement appeared in an article that also gave the reason for the show’s supposed cancellation, which is a little shocking (and almost unbelievable).

    Allegedly, Netflix co-founder and CEO Reed Hastings said that the show didn’t portray women as they should be.

    “A woman’s place is in the home, in the kitchen, taking care of children. A woman in jail? How does anyone even watch this show in the first place? It’s like we took everything bad about OZ and make [sic] this show with the leftovers.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4g96B5RmkA

    I don’t know, that just doesn’t sound like a statement a person, who wants to keep his job and his money, would say. Those feelings are pretty accurate since those rumors have been dispelled. Orange is the New Black will indeed return for a third season.

    And the show will feature a lot more Laura Prepon, which is fine with her! She absolutely loves doing it.

    “Alex is one of my favorite characters I’ve ever played. She’s so cool, she’s such a badass, but you also see these extremely vulnerable sides to her. She’s a very complex character to play, which is amazing for me.” Laura Prepon said.

    She loves the people she works with, too. And as well all know, that can make or break a job.

    “This cast (of OITNB) is amazing. I’ve never worked with such a great group of talented actresses. It’s been such a wonderful experience,” Laura Prepon said of the cast.

    Congrats to Laura Prepon on a continued run with Orange is the New Black!

    Laura Prepon Sparks Wedding Rumors

    Laura Prepon recently sparked wedding rumors when she was seen going in for a private fitting at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City on Tuesday, July 8.

    Prepon was trying on a custom-made Isabelle Armstrong Haute Couture evening dress which made people think that she was getting prepared to walk down the aisle.

    However, the rumors were short lived when Page Six revealed that the Orange is the New Black star was trying on the dress for an event that she will be hosting- the Bella New York City magazine’s All White Party in the Hamptons on July 26.

    Prepon, who is probably best known for her role as Donna on That 70s Show, recently returned to the small screen to play the part of Alex Vause, a former badass drug dealer and the love interest of Piper Chapman, who is played by Laura’s co-star Taylor Schilling, in the Netflix original series Orange is the New Black.

    Fans were largely disappointed when Prepon only appeared in a few episodes of season two, however she revealed, via Instagram, that the show had been renewed for a third season and she would be appearing in every episode. “It’s official!! Season 3!! #oitnb #alexvause #backtothebighouse,” Prepon captioned her photo.

    “It sucked because [show creator] Jenji Kohan and I wanted me to be in it more, but with the schedule, it didn’t happen,” Prepon explained. “I was so bummed out. But I handled it, so I’m in every [episode] in season three. It is so good.”

    Prepon also revealed that the show has been nominated for 12 Emmys. She shared the news with her fans, via Instagram, and captioned the photo by saying, “We’re goin to the EMMYS!! #12noms #oitnb.”

  • Laura Prepon: Absolutely Not Getting Married

    Laura Prepon, best known to us children of the 90’s as Donna Pinciotti of That 70’s Show, was spotted having a private white dress fitting at Bergdorf Goodman earlier this week. Wedding rumors ensued with vigor, of course.

    Well, it turns out that the Orange is the New Black actress is actually preparing to host Bella New York City magazine’s All White Party in the Hamptons on July 26th. That makes a lot more sense than a preparation for 34-year-old Laura Prepon to walk the almighty aisle.

    Laura Prepon has recently rocketed into the spotlight after several small roles on TV shows including October Road, House, MD, Castle and How I Met Your Mother. Her incredibly popular role on Orange is the New Black has definitely redefined her career and has even changed the way she looks at herself.

    Laura Prepon said of her co-stars, “All the women on the show are different shapes, sizes, colors and creed – everything! You really embrace who you are, your curves and everything … So if anything on this show, it’s the most comfortable I’ve ever been because all of us just really embrace who we are. It’s wonderful.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUTVjn1O_cA

    She doesn’t even seem to be seriously dating anyone, though earlier this year she was linked to Tom Cruise. However, the two have apparently never even met. Funny how those things get started…

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvJpGgCx4zI

    “It’s just so funny that, when people don’t know, they just make stuff up … apparently I’m dating Tom Cruise right now,” Prepon said during an interview after the rumors of their “romance” ran wild. “And apparently he doesn’t want me doing the show because I portray a lesbian and I’m a Scientologist. This is false; where are they even getting this stuff? It’s unbelievable to me.”

    Well, that’s the way it goes when you are famous, I guess. Good luck to Laura Prepon on her continuation with Orange is the New Black!

  • Laura Prepon Buys White Dress, Denies Wedding Rumors

    It’s a tale as old as virgin brides: if a woman in Hollywood is seen within a ten foot radius of a white garment, the people over at Page Six will scream WEDDING.

    This lovely tradition in American gossip-rag culture was recently experienced by Orange Is The New Black star Laura Prepon when she was spotted at a run-of-the-mill custom couture dress fitting at Bergdorf Goodman, after which she was inundated with rumors of her impending nuptials.

    Except that Prepon isn’t engaged. And it’s a ridiculous leap from “tries on white dress” to “is definitely getting married” that I would only expect from the lovely people who keep us informed about what OITNB cast members do on their day off. Which, according to Prepon, is try on clothes for fancy-shmancy parties that have dress codes on the invitation instead of a suggestion to BYOB.

    Specifically, Prepon is prepping for Bella Magazine’s upcoming All-White Party in the Hamptons (this party DOES sound really white), which she is hosting.

    And while Prepon is dutifully fulfilling Hollywood expectations to dress herself in ridiculously overpriced couture (the dress in question is an Isabelle Armstrong gown), don’t expect her to force her body to comply to their standards as well.

    “All the women on the show are different shapes, sizes, colors and creed – everything! You really embrace who you are, your curves and everything,” said Prepon to Women’s Running magazine about her body image philosophy. “So if anything on this show, it’s the most comfortable I’ve ever been because all of us just really embrace who we are. It’s wonderful.”

    It IS wonderful, Laura Prepon. And may I say I am incredibly glad your cool-ass self isn’t marrying Tom Cruise. Now THAT was a terrifying rumor.

  • Laura Prepon Sparks Wedding Rumors with White Dress Fitting

    Laura Prepon Sparks Wedding Rumors with White Dress Fitting

    Laura Prepon sparked short-lived wedding rumors when she was seen being privately fitted for a white evening gown at Bergdorf Goodman on Tuesday.

    In reality, the 34-year-old star of Netflix’s hit series Orange is the New Black will wear the custom-made Isabelle Armstrong gown when she hosts Bella New York City magazine’s All White Party in the Hamptons on July 26.

    Prepon shot to stardom when she landed the role of Donna Pinciotti on That ’70s Show in 1998.

    When the show’s run ended in 2006, she went on to star in the drama series October Road which was canceled after only two seasons.

    From there she made brief appearances on television series such as Castle, House M.D., How I Met Your Mother, and Medium.

    Prepon struck gold when she landed the role of Alex Vause on the Netflix original series Orange is the New Black in 2013.

    Based on Piper Kerman’s bestselling memoir Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison, the series released its much-anticipated second series on June 6, 2014.

    In May news broke – via Prepon’s Instagram feed – that the series had been renewed for a third season.

    Prepon recently revealed that she’ll appear in every episode of season three.

    Many of Prepon’s fans were disappointed when she appeared in only a few episodes of the second season due to schedule conflicts.

    Prepon, who appeared on the cover of the July issue of Women’s Running said she’s never been more comfortable with her body than she is now, partially in thanks to Orange is the New Black:

    “All the women on the show are different shapes, sizes, colors and creed – everything! You really embrace who you are, your curves and everything … So if anything on this show, it’s the most comfortable I’ve ever been because all of us just really embrace who we are. It’s wonderful.”

    Taylor Schilling Talks Body Image In Allure Magazine

    Orange is the New Black star Taylor Schilling recently posed for Allure magazine and opened up about her views on her body image.

    Although she may play an inmate on Netflix’s original series, Schilling refuses to feel imprisoned by the standards of Hollywood. Taylor explained that she doesn’t feel that her looks are the most important part of her, and she said she feels that has a lot more to offer the world other than her appearance.

    “I don’t feel bound by my face or my body,” Schilling said. “I don’t feel like that’s the biggest gift I have to offer the world. I feel like there are more parts of me to offer than that.”

    On Orange is the New Black, Taylor plays the role of Piper Chapman and said that the experience has been totally liberating by not having to worry about wardrobe changes and extreme makeup.

    “It’s totally liberating,” the 29-year-old actress admitted to the magazine. “There’s freedom in not having to make it about how my jeans fit or what my boobs look like in a top. All I have to do now is play.”

    Another aspect of the show that Taylor finds intriguing is the diverse cast. The show features women from all walks of life, in all different shapes and sizes. “When we walk down the street, we see a huge variety of women, and that’s just not usually reflected in entertainment,” Taylor explained. “Yet this show does that.”

    Laura Prepon, who plays Taylor’s love interest on the show, also recently discussed the diverseness of the cast. “All the women on the show are different shapes, sizes, colors and creed—everything! You really embrace who you are, your curves and everything,” Prepon said. “So if anything on this show, it’s the most comfortable I’ve ever been because all of us just really embrace who we are. It’s wonderful.”

  • Laura Prepon Will Be in Every Episode of Orange Is The New Black Season Three

    Laura Prepon Will Be in Every Episode of Orange Is The New Black Season Three

    Considering that Orange Is The New Black has been the number one show on Netflix since season one dropped, it’s no surprise that the company is already working on a season three. In fact, Netflix decided to go another round with the inmates at Litchfield even before season two premiered.

    And while little is known about what’s going to happen next season, one of the series’ most notable actresses has confirmed that she will feature in every episode.

    Laura Prepon, the show’s Alex Vause, told US Weekly that her schedule has made it possible for her to be in every season three episode.

    “It sucked because [show creator] Jenji Kohan and I wanted me to be in it more, but with the schedule, it didn’t happen,” she explained. “I was so bummed out. But I handled it, so I’m in every [episode] in season three. It is so good.”

    Prepon is, of course, referring to her lack of screen time in season two. Only appearing in a handful of the 13 episodes, Vause’s storyline was a bit muted throughout the new season. Apparently, that was due to scheduling conflicts.

    As you may recall, there was a time when we all thought that Prepon had completely left the show following the success of season one.

    But those rumors proved to be false, and showrunner Jenji Kohan confirmed Prepon’s limited role in season two.

    Alex Vause’s storyline with lead character Piper was the bedrock of season one, and it took a bit of a backseat in season two. You can be sure that many fans will be thrilled to hear that Prepon, and thus Vause, will be playing a much bigger role in the third season.

    Laura Prepon Talks ‘Orange Is The New Black’

    Laura Prepon stunned the crowd in a cleavage bearing Alice & Olivia gown at the 2014 Critics’ Choice TV awards on Thursday, June 19.

    Prepon must be getting used to showing off her body since joining the cast of Netflix’s original series Orange Is The New Black. Laura plays the role of Alex Vause, a former badass drug dealer and love interest of Piper Chapman, who is played by Laura’s co-star Taylor Schilling.

    While speaking to E! on the red carpet, Laura opened up about the show and how she has adjusted to so many sexually charged scenes.

    “Honestly, Taylor and I are so comfortable with each other—Thank God!” Prepon said. Season two of OITNB just recently premiered on Netflix in June, and season three is already in the works. Laura revealed that she and Schilling would be filming a major sex scene on Monday and was very happy that they are so relaxed around each other. “We’re like, ‘Girl, thank God we’re so comfortable!” she said, and then added, “I can’t say much.”

    Laura admits that all the women on the show were originally very self conscious about their bodies. However, they quickly realized that they are all different sizes and shapes, and started feeling more comfortable being naked in front of each other. “All the women on the show are different shapes, sizes, colors and creed—everything! You really embrace who you are, your curves and everything,” Prepon said. “So if anything on this show, it’s the most comfortable I’ve ever been because all of us just really embrace who we are. It’s wonderful.”

    While at the event, US Weekly also got the chance to talk to Prepon and how she felt about sitting on the sidelines for most of the second season’s episodes. She explained that her schedule was very hectic while the filming was taking place for season two, but that she had worked it out for her to be in every episode of season three.

    “It sucked because [show creator] Jenji Kohan and I wanted me to be in it more, but with the schedule, it didn’t happen,” Prepon explained. “I was so bummed out. But I handled it, so I’m in every [episode] in season three. It is so good.”

  • ‘Orange Is The New Black’ Season 3 ‘Officially’ Happening

    In case there was any doubt (was there really?), Netflix has reportedly renewed Orange is the New Black for a third season. Given that the company renewed it for a second season before the first one debuted, it’s not surprising that they’ve renewed it again before the second season debuts, considering how popular and critically acclaimed the show has been.

    Netflix hasn’t put out an official press release on the renewal yet, but actress Laura Prepon posted a list of possible season 3 episode titles on Instagram, sahing, “It’s official!! Season 3!! #oitnb #alexvause #backtothebighouse”.

    TVLine reports that it has confirmed with Netflix that it has indeed renewed the series.

    Prepon followed that pic up with these:

    Actress Danielle Brooks posted this:

    It’s hard to imagine Netflix not continuing this show for the foreseeable future. It’s become such a big part of pop culture that even President Obama managed to work its title into a joke at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

    Season 2 debuts on June 6th.

  • Laura Prepon And Tom Cruise: Are They Secretly Dating Each Other?

    If Scientology had a heaven, this pairing may very well be a perfect match made there.

    According to multiple print and online entertainment publications, the Mission Impossible star has been secretly seeing the Orange Is The New Black actress for several months now. The two actors, who are both active Scientologists, are said to be trying to keep their relationship under wraps.

    A few insiders informed UK-based online magazine that Cruise and Prepon were seen sharing a meal at LA’s Manor Hotel last November. However, representatives of both actors denied that there is anything romantic going on between the two. New York’s famous gossip column Page Six claims that Cruise and Prepon are still an item and working hard to keep their romance a secret from the public.

    British tabloid The Daily Mail was informed by Cruise’s representative that not only are the dating rumors not true, but the two actors have actually never personally met. Another anonymous source spoke with E! News seconded the rep’s claim, insisting that Cruise and Prepon have never been formally introduced.

    On Thursday, Page Six columnist Richard Johnson added that the couple’s secret romance is the “buzz” on the set of Prepon’s show.

    Prepon, who first gained popularity as Donna on the hit TV show That 70’s Show, also starred in How I Met Your Mother, and currently plays a drug-dealing lesbian on the Netflix series Orange Is The New Black. Prepon had a longtime relationship with That 70’s Show and fellow Scientologist Christopher Masterson, which ended in 2007. Us Weekly reported that Prepon briefly dated Californication star Scott Michael Foster after the breakup.

    Cruise, on the other hand, had high-profile relationships with Australian actress Nicole Kidman, and more recently, with Dawson’s Creek star Katie Holmes. Cruise and Holmes ended their marriage in 2012, after seven years of being together. They have a seven-year-old daughter named Suri, of whom they share custody.

  • Laura Prepon May Be Secretly Dating Fellow Scientologist Tom Cruise

    In all of the wild celebrity pairings, many people would probably not think that they would see Laura Prepon and Tom Cruise in a relationship. The two of them have reportedly been dating for several months, but they have worked hard to keep things a secret from the public.

    The two actors have been drawn to one another due to their shared beliefs in Scientology, the religion that has gained Tom Cruise a great deal of attention outside of his film career in recent years.

    While they are both doing their best to keep the relationship a secret, a relationship between Cruise and Prepon was bound to surface eventually. It was recently reported that the two were dating, and an insider said that “It’s the buzz on the set of her show,” which could mean that they are telling some friends, but not wanting to make it public yet.

    Laura Prepon has been winning over audiences through her career in television, and while she got her start on That 70’s Show, she just finished wrapping up season 2 of Orange Is The New Black, the incredibly popular Netflix show that features her as a woman serving time in prison for dealing drugs. The show just released a new trailer, and is set to launch its second season on June 6th.

    It was originally rumored that Laura Prepon was linked to Tom Cruise after they were spotted having dinner together in Los Angeles. The date was back in November, and it seems that the two may have been linked for longer than some people might think.

    Cruise has not been romantically linked to anyone since his divorce from actress Katie Holmes in 2012. As people probably already figured, there is a significant age gap between the two, with Cruise being 51 years old, and Prepon being 34, just one year younger than Holmes.

    Reps for both Tom Cruise and Laura Prepon continue to deny the fact that they are dating, and back in November, an insider told Entertainment Weekly that “They see each other at some functions, but they are not dating.”

    Tom Cruise has been married three times already, but perhaps a shared belief in Scientology will be what he needs in his next relationship in order to make things last with Laura Prepon.

    It is clearly an important thing for both of them, and Prepon first went public regarding her Scientology beliefs in 2007, in an interview featured in Women’s Health. Cruise’s last marriage failed in part due to converting Katie Holmes, while she was also concerned about their daughter Suri’s involvement with the church of Scientology.

  • Laura Prepon Reportedly Dating Tom Cruise

    Xenu, the 75-million-year-old dictator of the “Galactic Confederacy” described in Scientology doctrine has allegedly shined his celestial light upon Orange Is the New Black star Laura Prepon, bringing her together with Scientology heavyweight Tom Cruise. The two are reportedly dating, though secretly.

    Rumors of a budding relationship between the two first surfaced after it was reported that Cruise, 51, had treated Prepon, 34, to an elaborate date at Renaisssance, an eatery inside the Church of Scientology’s Celebrity Centre in Los Angeles in November. The couple was reportedly spotted again at the Renaissance, as well as at a party hosted by fellow Scientologist higher-ups John Travolta and Kelly Preston.

    Having dated That ’70s Show co-star Danny Masterson for several years, Prepon is well-versed in the teachings of Xenu whisking billions of humans away from his home world, only to stagger them around Earth volcanoes to kill them using hydrogen bombs, thus trapping the essences of their souls in the atomosphere, which have formed around modern man, rendering them spiritual battered. Incidentally, within the Church of Scientology, the Xenu history is part of the church’s secret “Advanced Technology,” considered a sacred and esoteric teaching, reserved for members who have contributed large amounts of money.

    Here Cruise displays his A-list charisma while hawking the virtues of Scientological power:

    Prepon first went public regarding her Scientology beliefs in 2007, in an interview featured in Women’s Health, and the thrice-divorced Cruise has likely learned that a strong belief in the church is key to sustaining a lasting relationship. Cruise’s ex-wife Katie Holmes abruptly filed for divorce in 2012, after reportedly becoming concerned over daughter Suri’s involvement in the Church of Scientology.

    Why reps for both actors deny any romance, perhaps it’s a match made in Teegeeack, or “Earth,” as Xenu might call it.

    Prepon is presently working on season 2 of Orange Is the New Black, while Cruise is allegedly developing Top Gun 2, to reprise his iconic role as the fighter pilot Maverick.

  • Laura Prepon, Kurtwood Smith Comment On Mila Kunis & Ashton Kutcher

    Laura Prepon worked with Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher on “That ’70s Show” for several years, and watched them grow close on the set. Although several years have gone by and each went their separate ways when it came to relationships, the couple reunited after Kutcher’s split from Demi Moore and are now engaged. Prepon, who is enjoying success with the Netflix original series “Orange Is The New Black”, says that although she’s not usually one to talk about her friends and what’s going on in their personal lives, she can’t help but comment on Kunis and Kutcher.

    “Yeah, I don’t usually comment on my friends’ personal lives,” she said. “But they’re an amazing couple.”

    Prepon isn’t the only “’70s” alum who thinks they make a good couple; Kurtwood Smith, who played cantankerous Red, said he could see them getting married last November, before Ashton even popped the question.

    “They’re both great people, so I’m happy for them. Maybe they should get married. We’ll all go to the wedding and that could be the reunion. It’ll be a reality show,” he said.

    Kunis made headlines recently when it was announced that she would be replaced by Amanda Seyfried in the sequel to “Ted”, but she’s got plenty of projects in the works, including a spokeswoman gig for Jim Beam bourbon. The dark-haired beauty will star in a new ad campaign for the liquor called “Make History”.

    “As a fan of bourbon and a huge proponent of making history, I am thrilled to be the newest member of the Jim Beam family,” she said.

  • Laura Prepon is Back as Alex Vause in ‘OITNB’

    After some initial doubts, it became clear this week that Laura Prepon will return in her role as Alex Vause in Season 2 of Netflix’s Orange is the New Black.

    Netflix released photos this week of the new season of the hit series that showed Alex Vause is back.

    Prepon had reportedly not signed on as a series regular for the show’s second season, but the photos make it clear her character will appear for more than just what was initially rumored to be just four episodes.

    While the photos did not give much away in terms of plot, they do indeed show Alex Vause in different scenarios with the other inmates. One shot shows Vause with character Piper Chapman wearing normal clothes, which may be a flashback scene. Another shows Vause alongside other inmates dressed in business attire for a job fair.

    Prepon’s character Alex is the ex-girlfriend of the show’s lead character, Piper Chapman, played by Taylor Schilling. Piper is a young, bisexual woman who was sent to prison for carrying drug money for Alex, and the two meet again in prison.

    The show is based on Piper Kerman’s memoir and was adapted by Jenji Kohan, who was also behind Weeds. The popular series was renewed for a second season last June, weeks before it even premiered on Netflix.

    “It’s a true ensemble,” Schilling told People.

    “In season two, we’ll see how Piper’s story continues, but the show also gets wider and deeper to tell the stories of even more of the women,” explained Schilling.

    Viewers can catch Season 2 of Orange is the New Black on Netflix on June 6, when it will be released in its entirety.
