  • Emmy Rossum Gives Dating Advice: Nerds Need Love Too

    On Saturday, at Real Simple’s Beauty & Balance Botanical Cocktail in New York City, PEOPLE got a chance to chat with Emmy Rossum, 27, and she shared some very good dating advice for all of the women out there … “STOP dating bad boys!”

    Rossum’s characters tend to be attracted to the hot bad guys, however she admits that they really aren’t her type in real life. “I’m kinda more attracted to the nerd,” the Shameless star said. “I’m really into guys who are super smart and funny and can teach me something I don’t know about.”

    Rossum is a firm believer that it is what is inside that counts, and attraction is more than just looks. “Girls, and guys too, are so shallow that we don’t give a chance to the good guy who’s maybe not as cute,” she explained. “They’re kinda like a fixer-upper apartment.”

    Emmy encourages women to step out of their comfort zones, and try dating someone that they never would have before. She explains that you can’t change a person’s character, but you can give them a makeover, and nerds need love too. “You need to pick the guy who’s really good inside and then give him a makeover,” she said. “Turn him into the perfect version of himself. You can never change what’s inside, that’s the problem. You can change their jacket and their hairstyle, and buy them a Clarisonic.”

  • Showtime Renews Hit Shows “Shameless” And “House Of Lies” For Another Season

    In news that should not be a shock to most people, the Showtime network has renewed both Shameless and House Of Lies. Both shows air on Sunday night, and have dedicated fans who continue to buzz about them.

    Showtime is not always recognized for its quality of television by the Emmy Awards or The Golden Globes, but it does tend to have some of the most popular shows, in terms of the fans who watch them.

    Dexter and Weeds were both huge when they aired, while Nurse Jackie continues to give Edie Falco award nominations. Nurse Jackie will begin its 6th season in April, joined by Californication, which will be ending this year with its seventh, and final season.

    Showtime made the announcement today that Shameless and House Of Lies would both be returning in 2015, and will enter their fifth and fourth seasons in the upcoming year, respectively.

    The two powerhouse Sunday night shows will join Matt Leblanc’s Episodes, which has already been renewed for a fourth season. Leblanc has continually been nominated for awards for essentially playing himself in the 30-minute comedy series.

    Shameless is based on a British series of the same name, and follows a poor family living in Chicago, chronicling the struggles that each of them face while growing up. The kids are forced to raise each other due to their absent mother, and constantly drunk father, who is played by William H. Macy. The show stars Emmy Rossum as the legal guardian, and eldest sibling in the family.

    The show is averaging 5.5 million viewers across multiple platforms, and is currently in its highest-rated season yet. Shameless’ ratings are up 8 percent vs. its third season and up 22 percent vs. season two. Its highest-rated episode of the season came on Jan. 26 when it drew 1.83 million viewers at 9 p.m.

    House Of Lies is a newer show that features two Hollywood stars in Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell. The 30-minute comedy follows a group of misfit consultants who are constantly bickering with each other as they attempt to get their next client.

    It is one of the only Showtime shows to gain attention at award shows recently, while being nominated as a show, and for Don Cheadle’s work. Don Cheadle has been nominated for two Golden Globes and two Emmy Awards for his role as Marty Kaan, winning the Golden Globe in 2012.

    Shameless and House Of Lies continue to draw the viewers in on Sunday night, allowing Showtime to compete with the other pay networks such as HBO and Netflix, which both boast impressive subscriber counts.

  • Emmy Rossum and Celebs Glam It Up at Designer’s Bash

    Emmy Rossum turned heads with other fellow celebs at a lavish bash thrown by British designer Antonio Berardi on Tuesday, January 7, at Mr. Chow.

    Along with the Shameless actress, Kate Beckinsdale, Nicole Ritchie, Diane Kruger, Joshua Jackson, and Dita Von Teese were also in attendance.

    Beckinsdale and Rossum honored the designer by wearing his dresses at the event. Beckinsdale looked gorgeous in a monochrome racer neck sheath dress from the designer’s Resort 2014 collection. She paired her black and white frock with black strappy heels and a matching clutch. Of course her best accessory was her director husband Les Wiseman on her arm.

    Not to be outdone, Rossum turned heads with a lime-green evening dress from the designer. Her porcelain skin glowed against the brightly-colored frock, and her dark, long hair provided an elegant and striking contrast. The actress also sported black heels and a clutch to finish the look.

    Apparently, this night out is good news for Rossum, who suffered from food poisoning over the holidays while on vacation. Rossum alerted her fans of her illness by posting this on Twitter:

    Rossum has been busy promoting season four of Shameless, and was recently spotted by paparazzi filming a scene in which she shed a few tears. She went to Twitter to share her experience:

  • Emmy Rossum Spoofs Gisele Bundchen’s Breastfeeding Picture

    Recently, Gisele Bundchen decided to share a picture of herself breastfeeding in the middle of getting ready for an event, while tagging the post with #multitasking. Emmy Rossum thought that it would be funny to recreate the situation, and share a picture of her own for all of her fans. The Shameless actress posted her own photo in order to spoof the act, and show how harmless the photo was.

    The picture of Gisele Bundnchen breastfeeding her baby went viral earlier this week after she posted it on her Instagram. Gisele is a supermodel, and the wife of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Emmy Rossum, as an actress, chose to mock the situation, and show everyone that it is not a big deal.

    She has also been a proponent of breastfeeding, and chose to share the picture as a statement of support. The picture was not graphic at all, but still created quite a stir online, and she was criticized by a number of people for doing it.

    However, other proponents of breastfeeding, and supporters of hers, celebrated the act. The 33-year-old model was seen breastfeeding her 12-month-old daughter Vivian, while getting her hair, makeup and nails done.

    Here is a look at the original as a comparison.

    Emmy Rossum recreated the photo exactly when posing in a salon chair, at the same time pretending to breastfeed a baby, although her baby was fake. Rossum does not have a baby, and is currently single after splitting up with her former co-star on Shameless, Tyler Jacob Moore.

    She plays Fiona Gallagher on the Showtime series, and in addition to Shameless, the actress has been seen in the films Mystic River, Phantom Of The Opera, and others.

    In the picture, Emmy Rossum captioned her post by saying “I feel ya girl,” while also tagging it with #fakebaby, in order to let her know that it was not real. The Shameless star also made headlines recently when she posed topless for Esquire magazine.

    Emmy Rossum’s Shameless returns to Showtime with its fourth season on January 12, 2014.

  • Emmy Rossum Poses Topless For Esquire

    Emmy Rossum, the star of Shameless, is definitely living up to her television show’s name. Rossum posed topless in a series of provocative pictures for the January issue of Esquire magazine.

    Despite her sexy photos, Rossum says she is actually a really down-to-earth geek chick. She admits that she has almost ran around her house naked, but has never once traveled down the road that most celebrities do, with drugs, and she gives all the thanks to how she was raised by her mother.

    “I would say there was a lot of openness in the house–but no drugs, no alcohol,” she said. “To this day, I’ve never done a hard drug. I’ve never done cocaine, I’ve never done heroin, I’ve never done Ecstasy, which is literally everywhere. It just was never interesting to me. The feeling of being out of control or doing anything that could potentially harm me was just not my cup of tea,” she continued. “I would literally rather run down the street naked and I’ve done almost that.”

    Rossum also discussed the recent event that put her life back into perspective. “It’s amazing how things can be put into perspective for you so easily. Last weekend, I was pulling out of my house, and I saw a body in the road and blood everywhere. This guy had been hit by a car,” she explains. “I called 911 and stayed with him. You see how lucky you are to just be alive. All the Hollywood bulls–t and accolades and money really doesn’t matter. It just gives you a slightly nicer house and slightly nicer food and slightly shinier hair.”

  • Shanola Hampton, Star Of Shameless, Is Pregnant

    Shanola Hampton, one of the stars of Showtime’s hit series Shameless, just announced her pregnancy to the public. On the show, Hampton plays the Gallagher family’s neighbor Veronica. Her and her boyfriend Kevin serve as a side plot to the main part of the show, which is dominated by the dysfunctional Gallagher family, run by their constantly drunk father, William H. Macy.

    Hamtpon is a 36 year old American actress, and a native of South Carolina. Her co-stars and friends had a hard time keeping the news bottled up inside, and were thankful that she finally let it out in the open. The cast of Shameless also got together today for their first table read, which should get fans excited. The cast is even tweeting about it and displaying group pictures of the cast.

    The cast is back together for their first table read for season four, as of today, and they are all very excited about it. Shameless fans get ready, season four begins in just a few more months.
