After two divorces -- once from General Hospital actor Tyler Christopher in 2004 and most recently from NBA player Tony Parker in 2011 -- Eva Longoria isn't interested in remarrying ... ever. The former Desperate Housewives star confessed to Access Hollywood Live recently, "I've been married twice. Been there, done that!" when asked if she feels pressure to wed as she gets older.

First off, it's all sorts of obnoxious to even ask her in the first place if her age makes her feel feels "pressured" to get married. Really, what kind of question is that?! Are all women incomplete or something unless they have a spouse ... or kids? Yeah, Eva doesn't necessarily seem desperate to become a mom anytime soon either.

She said:

I'm not one of those women who are like, 'I must procreate!' I think kids are a product of love. So if you find the right person and you want to have a family with that person, then that's when the time is right. But...if I'm 50 and single, I'm not going to go do it myself.

Aww. I admire that she's standing up for what she believes is right for her. Still, I'd never say never. After all, you don't know who you'll meet and how your heart could end up changing your mind when it comes to remarriage. The fact of the matter is that falling in love can make you rethink just about anything and everything you thought you were deadset on.

For all her talk, I get the impression that Eva's really a romantic at heart. I hope she finds the right guy. Whether or not that could lead her to a third walk down the aisle, who knows? But something tells me she shouldn't write off the possibility altogether. No one should.

How do you feel about writing off remarriage completely?

Daryl Hannah Reveals Autism Diagnosis That She's Tried to Hide Her Whole Life

donderdag 26 september 2013

by Jill Baughman 2 hours ago

Here's some surprising news coming out of Hollywood today: Daryl Hannah revealed she was diagnosed with autism as a child. She also had struggles with "debilitating shyness" as a result of the disorder. Kind of unexpected, right?

Known for her iconic roles in Kill Bill: Volume 1 & 2, Splash, Blade Runner, and Wall Street, she said that she's been able to stay under the radar when it comes to her diagnosis and quietly manage her symptoms. Considering no one has any kind of privacy in Hollywood anymore, the fact she has kept this a secret so long is quite a feat.

Also once making headlines for dating John Kennedy Jr., she admitted to People magazine, "I’ve never been comfortable being the center of attention." You can see the interview in Friday's issue, when she also said, "It’s always freaked me out."

At times that she'd become so shy, she'd rock back and forth constantly. As a teenager, when she started to become famous, she had to hide her autism diagnosis in her professional life and couldn't do promotional appearances or talk shows. She said it was "not because I was above it, but because I was terrified."

Wow, what a brave thing to finally admit after all these years! Especially for someone who confesses that she is petrified of the spotlight. She went on to say, "I’m a grown up now. I’ve learned a couple of things that really would’ve made my life easier if I’d known them 20 years ago .... I wasted so much time scared, self-conscious, and insecure."

It's rather inspiring that woman who enjoyed so much success in Hollywood was once diagnosed with autism and couldn't even go around promoting her own work as a result, which is such a major factor when it comes to a movie's success nowadays. The 52-year-old beauty should also serve as an example that people who are diagnosed with autism or fighting chronic shyness can go on to have amazing careers and fulfilling lives. Good for her for coming out with her autism and opening up about how she was able to overcome her symptoms while still being able to let her guard down and perform in front of a camera and crew.

Now she's enjoying life with her boyfriend of three years, a pig they rescued name Molly, and a farm she's living in near LA. She's also an environmental activist who's been arrested a couple times during protests. Regardless, she's a true inspiration for anyone with autism or battling shyness, and we wish her even more continued success in both her private and public lives.

Are you surprised to hear that Daryl Hannah was diagnosed with autism?

‘RHOM’ Wedding Madness Reveals How Ridiculous and Desperate These Women Can Get (VIDEO)

by Alex McCord 12 hours ago in Entertainment

Having been on any Reality TV, let alone the Real Housewives specifically, I'm always looking at these shows with double vision. I'm seeing the action just as all the viewers do, and also looking behind the scenes at how everything is put together, which always fascinates me.

This week we go deep into wedding planning with Joanna Krupa and Adriana de Moura, lots of gorgeous Birkin bags, kittens, and puppies. And did you HEAR the gossip? Someone revealed a Housewives contract! Are they for real?

I had to laugh when Lisa Hochstein cried over a Birkin bag. I don't know anyone, ever in my life, who has done that. And I know a lot of characters.

As the bridal party casting heats up, I go into reality TV weddings versus real weddings…should you have to choose cast members as bridesmaids and if you do, are you allowed to give them ultimatums? Perhaps Joanna is secretly the Gawker Bridezilla? 

Alexia Echevarria and her son are breaking my heart – what do you do when your son’s father is an ex-convict?? In this week’s video we learn what to do, and what NOT to do when you and your child have problems surrounding your divorce.

Finally….did you see that story where the reporter supposedly got hold of a New Jersey Housewives contract?  I saw it, I read it, and I give you MY take on it.

Who is the most annoying bride -- Adriana or Joanna?

Also, tell me in the comments or on twitter what you want know about I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding as tomorrow I’ll have a brand new episode covering the first two shows!

Ian Somerhalder Reveals How He Really Feels About Not Being Cast as Christian Grey

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Maressa Brown 14 hours ago

Ever since Ian Somerhalder was left in the dust by confirmation that Charlie Hunnam is going to be the big screen incarnation of Christian Grey, the Vampire Diaries' star's fans have been livid. Feeling downright brokenhearted and disappointed, they feel like they want justice to be served. Well, they may finally be able to cool their jets now that Ian has spoken out about how he truly feels about losing the coveted role ...

Speaking to HuffPost Live, Ian clarified that while he is "unbelievably grateful for all the support and all the cheering and the love" from fans who were campaigning for him to play Christian Grey, he's got enough on his plate already.

Ian elaborated, "I'm on a TV show that shoots 10 months a year." Furthermore, he says:

It's so funny, you read these blogs: 'Ian Somerhalder angry, livid he's not Christian Grey' -- I mean, no, no, no, there's none of that.

Whew! I don't know about you, but an enraged Ian Somerhalder is not someone I'd ever want to cross paths with! Eek! No, but seriously, good for him for setting the record straight -- and handling the situation in a mature, chill, professional way. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy's a bit bummed, but he gets major points -- from fans and Hollywood insiders alike -- for taking the disappointment like a man!

What's more, he's reminding fans they can see him as much as they want thanks to his existing gig with the CW! Plus, if rumors are true that he could end up cast as Gideon Cross in the upcoming small screen version of Sylvia Day's Crossfire novels, we'll get to see much, much more of him. Even more than if he had been cast as Christian Grey! And really, what could be better than that?

How do you feel about Ian's reaction to the post-Fifty Shades casting buzz?

Kanye West Reveals the Real Reason Why He Loves Kim Kardashian

dinsdag 24 september 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Adriana Velez 1 hour ago

This rumored split between Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom has us seriously bummed. Thank goodness for Mr. Positivity, Kanye West! No, I'm serious. Nori's papa has been caught saying nice things again, and I love it. In a BBC interview, Kanye gushed about Kim Kardashian and their beautiful family time. This is happening: Kanye Grumpypants West is going soft right before our very eyes.

Okay, fine, he did a lot of complaining in the interview before he got to the happy stuff. He's still Kanye, after all. But let's skip ahead to the part where he starts talking about how Kim gave him "everything."

"Family time -- it's what Kim gave me. She gave me everything. She gave me a family. She gave me a support system." So sweet! Who knew Kanye had this inside of him? I did! Kanye lost his mother a few years ago, and then he lost a beloved grandfather this summer. Of course he's looking for a surrogate family. The Kardashians may be kind of crazy, but that's all the more reason why Kanye would feel at home with them.

Plus it's just exhausting being Kanye. I think he needs a warm, safe spot to land (or a big, soft bosom to bury his head into) after a gruelling day of making art and attacking the paparazzi.

Isn't it funny how it's Kim and Kanye, Kourtney and Scott who are the happy, functional couples now? And the married people, Khloe and Lamar, not to mention Kris and Bruce (if the rumors are to be believed), are the ones supposedly having relationship issues.

Ooh, but check out why it's working between Kim and Kanye: "She was in a powerful enough situation where she could love me without asking me for money, which is really hard for me to find." Poor guy, just looking for someone to love him for who he is on the inside, and not for his fame and fortune.

Do you think Kim and Kanye have what it takes to make their relationship last a long time?

'Real Housewives' Star Reveals Weight Loss Secret That REALLY Works

maandag 23 september 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Emily Abbate 2 hours ago

Whether you're excited or less-than-stoked for the reported Real Housewives of New Jersey spin-off featuring Caroline Manzo and her family, there is no arguing that the Manzos are an interesting bunch. You have Albie who is arguably the most handsome son to emerge out of the Housewives franchise and then the whole situation with them owning the Brownstone. But my favorite player of the Manzo clan? Lauren Manzo.

Struggling with her weight on national television can't be an easy thing. Lauren's been battling to drop pounds ever since she underwent lap band surgery in September 2011 and recently posted a photo of her diet efforts on Twitter (right). Looks like Lauren Manzo's weight loss efforts have been kicked into HIGH gear.

Let's get real: We could look at a zillion bikini body photos, but something like this is much more impressive. I like to see celebs work hard to get a great bod. This intense portion control, this is something that you and I normal folk can appreciate.

... and it works, too. Back when I was really trying to shed pounds, I always found putting things into small Tupperware and planning for the day to be tedious (because it is). The truth, though, is that although planning takes effort, that effort pays off. Look at all of the awesome options that Lauren has laid out up there. You can see just by looking at her array of treats that she's prepared, and she most definitely won't go hungry.

Just think about what could happen if she didn't prepare. Instead of having ALL of those things to nosh on over the course of a full day, lady could have opted for a horribly "healthy" salad that's actually 1,200 calories alone at a nearby bodega. I don't know about you all, but I'd rather munch the whole day through for 1,200 calories than eat it all within 12 minutes.

Kudos to Lauren on putting the work in. Now, excuse me while I go satisfy my raspberry craving. Thanks, Laur.

Are you good at planning ahead when you're on a diet, or do you find it to be tedious?

Kate Middleton's Biographer Reveals What Makes the Duchess and Prince William a Good Match

dinsdag 17 september 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Maressa Brown 1 hour ago

Details about Duchess Catherine's past, present, and clues to her future are all coming out at warp speed now that Kate: A Biography (can't get more straightforward than that!) is due out on October 1, and author Marcia Moody is dishing to the press to pique our interest in the book. While we're learning lots about Kate as a fashion icon (she used to be a tomboy!) and Kate's work and charities, the juice I find most intriguing centers around her relationship with Prince William.

Thankfully, Parade notes that much of the book is spent on their romance -- how Kate and William met, fell in love, and married. Thus, the magazine decided to ask Moody the intriguing question we'd all like to know the answer to: "What makes Kate and William a good match?" 

Moody's response:

Kate and William just click, like any couple in a good relationship, and it’s so clear when you see them together. They have shared interests and life-views, a similar sense of humor, their friends all know each other, they love each other’s families, they strive for the same things, and they are in love.

Awww, so sweet! I love that she notes how it's something that's easily perceived when you see them together, because how spouses interact and come off as a couple really does say so much about how powerful their bond is. Actually, I would say how they "click" is more apparent from their chemistry than all of the other aspects Moody listed -- the common interests, same goals, loving one another's families. Sure, that's important, and awesome if that happens to be the case for you, but those factors are not necessarily integral to making a relationship work.

In other words, we all have different compatibilities that tie us to our partner. I have friends with polar opposite political views than their spouse (I don't know how they do it, but they do!), and friends who barely understand what their spouse does for a living.

In cases like that, I feel like it's more about understanding and supporting one another's interests and goals. And maybe being open to spending time with (maybe even just keeping the peace with!) one another's families -- even if we're not ready to declare our in-laws our new BFFs. You do your best, you know? I'm sure there are couples who are completely on the exact same wavelength most of the time, but many are not and simply love the other person enough to work through their differences. And they have other strengths and commonalities that balance it all out. In fact, I'd venture to guess there are more couples like that than the former!

Still, what Moody says Kate and William have make them very lucky. Not to mention ... even more compatible than they would be if all they had was chemistry. Sounds like it's even further confirmation that their fairy tale romance is actually the real deal!

What do you think makes Kate and William a great match? Where do you and your partner differ -- and see eye-to-eye on interests, life-views, sense of humor, etc.?

Nina Dobrev's Cryptic Tweet Reveals Why She May Have Dumped Ian Somerhalder

vrijdag 13 september 2013

It's not surprising that when it comes to manners, Nina Dobrev considers herself to be an expert. I mean, she's a pretty classy lady. She knows her own worth, and she expects to be treated a certain way. She made this really clear yesterday on Twitter. 

She talked chivalry and shared her thoughts on how guys should treat gals. It's clear Nina's got a lot of opinions on the subject. It makes you wonder, has she dated a lot of less-than-polite guys in the past? And could this include her ex Ian Somerhalder?

Nina took to Twitter to share a rather pointed image. In the vintage photo, a man is opening the car door for a woman. The accompanying text reads, "Real Men Still Do This." Nina adds her own caption saying, "Message for 21st Century boys...be men."

She went on to reply to some of her followers, talking about the importance of treating a girl like a lady. All this points to Nina having spent time with some dudes who had piss-poor manners. Could it be true that Ian Somerhalder doesn't hold doors open? NINA! Don't ruin our image of Ian as a knight in shining armor! Hopefully he's still reading her tweets regularly and will take his ex-girlfriend's advice.

Do you think Ian Somerhalder isn't chivalrous?

Mama June Reveals Beauty Secret That May Disgust Even Her Most Loyal Fans

woensdag 11 september 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Lisa Fogarty 12 hours ago

On tonight's one-hour season finale of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, we'll get to witness Mama June and Sugar Bear finally say "I do" in a commitment ceremony that is months in the making. Judging by the sneak peek trailers, shiny pink lip gloss will be worn, Honey Boo Boo will look absolutely adorable in a totally age-appropriate fuchsia flower girl dress, and Mama June will demonstrate for us all how she shaves her neck in preparation for her nuptials.

Come again?!

In this clip, daughter Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon is shown helping mom prep for the ceremony (in which she dons a camouflage dress) and says quite nonchalantly, "Mama still hasn't shaved her neck hairs for the commitment ceremony. And I think I'm gonna help her with that so we can check it off the list." 

Pumpkin then proceeds to gently glide a razor along mom's neck as if she's familiar with the procedure. No biggie. 

Part of me wants to shout across the screen at Mama June to put down that razor, which is only going to create stubble and ingrown hairs, and get herself to decent electrolysis spa -- many of which exist in Georgia -- pronto. I understand the family may not have a ton of money, and I respect Mama's couponing and budgeting efforts, but $20 for 15 minutes is well worth the money, right?

But then another part of me totally respects Mama June for showing us who she really is and sharing a secret about women's facial hair with millions of viewers that most of us would never -- not in our most vivid nightmares -- ever whisper to a soul. 

So there you go. For better or worse, Mama June has made a female secret quite public. Many will argue that women's beauty secrets are best kept hidden so as to preserve a little feminine mystery. 

What do you think about Mama June's unapologetic public shave? Does it serve as a great inspiration for women who deal with facial hair, or would you prefer it be kept private?

'Downton Abbey' Season 4 Teaser Reveals Lady Mary's Devastating Struggle (VIDEO)

vrijdag 30 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Linda Sharps 3 hours ago

Downton Abbey fans, I've got some great news for you: the official season 4 trailer will be released this Saturday, August 31. The show just wrapped its final day of shooting a week ago, editing for the Christmas special began on August 21, and today a teaser video for the upcoming season hit the web.

With all these exciting announcements, it almost makes up for the fact that U.S. viewers have to wait four frickin' months after the show premieres in the U.K. in mid-September! ALMOST.

The 10-second teaser features Maggie Smith’s Dowager Countess, and while the video doesn’t reveal too much visually, her dialogue hints at the major heartbreak still resonating from last season's tragic events.

(Spoilers for season 3 ahead!)

As you likely remember all too clearly, Matthew died last season in a car accident that happened just after he'd seen his newborn son for the first time. Even though I'd been spoilered about his death, I was still completely shocked and dismayed when it happened. Because first he was all, doop di do tra la la LAAAAAA!

And then he was like, gaaaaaaaaack.

And I was all,

Anyway, season 4 will reportedly pick up six months after Matthew's death. Much has been made about the fact that Lady Mary will have new suitors in the wake of losing her husband, but based on this new teaser clip, she'll be faced with some very heavy and realistic grief along the way. Take a look:

That's quite a line, isn't it? "You have a straightforward choice before you: You must choose either death or life."

We can't see who the Dowager Countess is talking to, but it stands to reason that she's giving advice to Lady Mary. Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary, recently spoke about season 4 and how her character would evolve after losing Matthew. Dockery referenced the new love interests ("One is an old family friend who she hasn't seen since she was a child"), but she also described the challenges Lady Mary will face at the start of the season:

Mary was never going to be a very maternal mother. To begin with, it's hard to bond with the baby because she looks at him and sees Matthew. So motherhood is a slow process for Mary. She's incredibly strong and she has the strength to kind of see it through. Throughout the series, Mary slowly comes back to life and, of course, it's important for her to eventually move on. But it is kind of touch and go in the beginning. She is in a really, really dark place.

It sounds weird to say I like hearing this, because who likes watching someone mourn and struggle with new motherhood? But it's somehow good to hear that the show will focus on the logical aspect of how Mary would be dealing with so much sorrow, and not brush that aside in their eagerness to trot out the hotly anticipated list of new suitors.

What did you think of this quick teaser?

Olivia Wilde Reveals Her Disgust for Plastic Surgery and 3 Secrets to Amazing Skin

vrijdag 23 augustus 2013

by Emily Abbate 3 hours ago

When it comes to fresh faces in Hollywood, Olivia Wilde has got it goin' on. The 29-year-old actress who we all fell in love with as Remy on House has perfectly flawless skin, and lucky for her, she hasn't done any extra procedures to get it that way. Also lucky for her? Because of that young, fresh skin, she can still play any role that spans ages 18 to 35. Hello, opportunity!

In a recent blog for Glamour, the actress expressed her secret to looking young and avoiding plastic surgery. Slamming all the "alien-looking" plastic surgery addicts of today's society, Wilde emphasizes that it is possible to look good without going under the knife. She even goes as far as to give her three token tips to looking your best, and they're actually SUPER simple.

Ready for 'em?

Drink water, sleep eight hours every night, and don't go within 400 feet of a tanning booth. Sounds easy enough, right?

It's not rocket science either. We've all heard that drinking water helps keep skin looking good. When it comes to sleep, a poor night's rest has detrimental effects like a lackluster complexion and increase in fine lines. As for tanning? Hello, ultraviolet radiation! Just don't do it. Don't.

By listening and adopting all three of Wilde's tips, you're at least trying to do something to stay healthy and improve your skin quality. Besides, why would anyone want to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on surgery if there are ways to avoid it altogether? Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I don't know about all of you, but I most definitely don't have an extra wad of cash at home for beauty purposes only.

Do you have any skin secrets?

Kanye West Reveals How Krazy About Kim Kardashian He Is -- He DOES Have a Heart!

woensdag 21 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Nicole Fabian-Weber 17 hours ago

Yeezy's happy faceI'm not saying I thought Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's relationship was a complete sham, but ... let's just say if Bill Shakespeare were still alive, I don't think he'd be writing a play about their undying love. However, as of today, my thoughts on their relationship have changed. I actually think Kanye West might really love Kim Kardashian, you guys. Like, a lot. Like, almost as much as that Kanye West mural he had painted in Baby North's room.

 Almost.

West, who's notorious for hating the spotlight unless it's tailored exactly to his liking and taste, is set to be the final guest on Kris Jenner's talk show when it ends its trial run on Friday. The rapper has already taped the segment with his baby-mama-in-law, and he reportedly "really brought it". He apparently talks about North, living with Kris, and how he "loves Kim so much he even thought about playing sports."

Kanye? Is that you? Are you ... joking around? Are you exhibiting that fun little trait most refer to as a "sense of humor"? Perhaps fatherhood has softened you a bit. Made you a little less, eh, how you say ... ridiculous? (I always turn into a foreigner when I talk to Kanye.)

The fact that Kanye appeared on Kris's show speaks volumes. After all, Kanye is an ah-tist. He's obsessed best friends with Jay Z. He holds listening parties in Switzerland. He lives in gay Paree. Going on Kris almost seems "beneath him". So it says a lot about how he feels about Kim.

Will I be tuning into to Kris on Friday to catch Kanye's interview? No. I have a job. And, okay I'll be honest, even if I didn't, I probably wouldn't. But I'll likely watch the clip online afterward if I can find it. But I might not be able to if he's smiling on the show. How will I recognize him without his signature scowl?

Do you think Kim and Kanye's relationship is legit?

Last month, 23-year-old Sydney Leathers’ only plan was to start a new semester at college. Needless to say, her to-do list didn't include flirting with Howard Stern or sparring with Sean Hannity on national TV. And it most definitely didn’t include entertaining porn offers or doing racy photo shoots.

But so goes the life of someone embroiled in the biggest sexting scandal we've ever seen. After taking evidence of her steamy communications with married New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner to TheDirty.com, she has become a household name.

Watch my EXCLUSIVE sit-down interview with Sydney, as we discuss how the tryst began, why she chose to go public, how she feels about possibly ruing his career and marriage, and what she would say to Weiner's humiliated wife Huma Abedin if they were face-to-face.

Sydney also shares her incredibly candid advice to suspicious wives, as well as young women entertaining the idea of having an affair with a married man. She revealed so many juicy tidbits, it was difficult to edit this broadcast down, I’ll tell you! Take a look, and DEFINITELY let me know what you thought in the comments!

Is Sydney anything like you thought she'd be? What do you think of her advice to Huma?

Mark Ruffalo Reveals Mom's Illegal Abortion in a Heroic Open Letter

dinsdag 20 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Maressa Brown 1 hour ago

All over the country, some state governments have declared a new wave of the war on women, passing sweeping restrictions on abortion and other women's health care services -- 11-hour filibusters from rising star Sen. Wendy Davis, be damned! But conservative, anti-abortion voices aren't the only ones speaking up. Actor and activist Mark Ruffalo recently made his position on the subject known in a statement of support for a pro-choice campaign. His remarks were read at a rally outside of Mississippi's last abortion clinic, Jackson Women's Health Organization, this past weekend, making quite the impression. In great part because he talked about his own mother's traumatizing experience of having an abortion before it was safe and legal.

Here, seven best points Ruffalo made in the heartfelt, timely, incredibly important statement ...

On his mom's experience: "I have a mother who was forced to illegally have an abortion in her state where abortion was illegal when she was a very young woman. It cost $600 cash. It was a traumatizing thing for her. It was shameful and sleazy and demeaning. When I heard the story I was aghast by the lowliness of a society that would make a woman do that."On the era in which his mother had an illegal abortion: "What happened to my mother was a relic of an America that was not free nor equal nor very kind. ... It was a time when women were seen as second rate citizens who were not smart enough, nor responsible enough, nor capable enough to make decisions about their lives."On progress: "I don’t want to turn back the hands of time to when women shuttled across state lines in the thick of night to resolve an unwanted pregnancy, in a cheap hotel room just south of the state line."On trusting women: "I actually trust the women I know. I trust them with their choices, I trust them with their bodies, and I trust them with their children. I trust that they are decent enough and wise enough and worthy enough to carry the right of Abortion and not be forced to criminally exercise that Right at the risk of death or jail time."On illegal abortion's similarities to racism: "There was no mistake in us making abortion legal and available on demand. That was what we call progress. Just like it was no mistake that we abolished institutional racism in this country around the same time."On the recent moves made by conservative politicians: "There is nothing to be ashamed of here except to allow a radical and recessive group of people to bully and intimidate our mothers and sisters and daughters for exercising their right of choice. Or use terrorism and fanaticism to block their legal rights or take the lives of their caregivers. Or design legislation that would chip away at those rights disguised as reinforcing a woman’s health."On what being pro-choice truly means: "I invite you to find your voice and let it be known that you stand for abortion rights and the dignity of a woman to be the master of her own life and body."

‘Girls’ Season 3 Sneak Peak Reveals Skin and Lots of It ... Again! (VIDEO)

Another season of HBO's Girls is coming up and you know what that means: whiny angst, boy troubles, and, of course, plenty of nudity. After so much criticism in the first two seasons, some may have wondered if creator/writer Lena Dunham might scale back on the skin. Not a chance. Take a look at the scantily clad cast in the new teaser trailer!

Dunham isn't shy about showing off her curvy figure in a very teeny blue bikini in these fun photos taken from the season 3 set. She's not alone. We also get a sexy glimpse of costars Allison Williams and Jemima Kirke. There are a few more plot surprises too.

It looks like her on-off beau Adam Driver is back and a tender moment suggest that things are definitely back on. There is no doubt this round of episodes will be filled with just as much drama as the first two - floating around from job to job, dealing with loser love interests, and clinging to college friendships that may not work anymore. It's a lot like real life -- which is all apart of the show's charm. For those in their 20s, it can be a cautionary tale. For those of us well out of that age group, it makes us grateful those days are long gone.

Will you watch the next season of Girls?

Drake Finally Reveals What He Thinks About Amanda Bynes' Crude Tweets

You know, amidst all this Amanda Bynes insanity, I've been wondering what the hell Drake was thinking. For those of you in the dark, Amanda has fired off some very strange tweets about the singer. Some of her classics: "I want Drake to murder my vagina"; "Drake has ugly downward facing eyes"; "@drake is a hot fellow :)D"; "Drake is Rocking That Incest Face"; "They airbrushed @drake to make his eyes look like he doesn’t have down syndrome!"; and "Loving far apart eyes @drake". Drake never responded to any of Amanda's tweets (some of which were written to him directly), or has made any mention at all of what he thinks of this weirdness. Until now. Drake has finally addressed the Amanda Bynes tweets, and well, I'm a little surprised at what he has to say.

In the new issue of XXL magazine, Drake said of the tweets: "I don't even know who that is doing that or what that’s about. If that is her, I guess it’s a little weird and disturbing. It’s obviously a behavioral pattern that is way bigger than me." He continued: "Whoever is behind it, whether it’s her or somebody else, they know people are paying attention so they keep it going."

In some respects, Drake is completely dead-on. It is weird. It is disturbing. And it is a behavioral pattern bigger than him (or anyone). But that said, I do think Amanda is the person behind the Twitter account. At first, I was skeptical, because the things that were being written were so ridiculously out there. But the more the tweeting went on; the more we saw of Amanda; and the more we learn about her mental health situation, I really can't see how it could be anyone but her. Drake's probably just not up to speed on the latest Amanda Bynes goings on, because he has much better things to do with his life, which, good for him.

Hopefully, Amanda is getting the help she so desperately needs right now, and when she's better, will issue an apology to Drake for the incredibly rude and hurtful things she's said about him. But in the meantime, it's nice to know that dude isn't losing any sleep over this nonsense.

Chelsea Houska Reveals How She Gets Her Loose Waves in One Step

For those of you who are dying to get Chelsea Houska's beachy, messy, sexy waves, you're in luck. The Teen Mom posted a link to her Twitter that shows exactly how to get her hair. In one step. And there's even a video.

You can stop throwing pennies into fountains, friends. All your wishes are about to come true.

Apparently, another way to get Chelsea's wild waves is to curl hair using a flat iron -- and a flat iron only. We all know Chelsea uses a curling iron -- just the wand part -- to get her signature loose and wavy locks sometimes, but a similar look can be achieved with just a flat iron. The video gives step-by-step instructions on how to get Chelsea's hair, and it really is so easy to do -- even for someone hair-challenged like myself.

All you need to do is take a small section of hair and wrap it around a flat iron, like you would do with a curling iron. Instead of holding your hair in place, twist and pull your hair downward, so hair doesn't get "tight" curls. You want loose and undone here, remember? Repeat throughout the rest of your hair. Boom, done.

Gotta love Chelsea for sharing her hair secrets with the rest of us. We may not be able to create exactly what she's got going on atop of her head, as that's some crazy shite right there. But maybe, with some practice, we can get pretty damn close.

How do you get loose, beachy waves?

Kim Kardashian Reveals Detestable Reason Her Baby is Named North (VIDEO)

maandag 29 juli 2013

by Kiri Blakeley Yesterday at 1:45 PM

Ever since Kim Kardashian named her baby North, people have been wondering, like, WHY?! Well, apparently there is some logic behind the baby name she chose. Not a whole lot of logic, but some teensy weensy half-molecule of logic-ita. (That's logic in the diminutive.) And it's not just that she and Kanye consider North their "highest point" of love. While on a family trip to Greece, a still-pregnant Kim tells her family that she and Kanye "want" to give their baby a name that starts with K, which would keep with family tradition, but they just can't do it. And you'll seriously never guess why.

Kim told her familia:

If we name our kid with a K name, which is kind of what we want, mainly just because Kanye and I are K's, but then our kid, if it's a K, they'll call us the KKK.

Bwhaaa!! I'm sorry, WHAT?!

"That's a little crazy," step-brother Brody replies, sensibly.

Woah. Is that the weirdest justification ever for not giving your baby a K name? Also, there's so many other non-K names that they could have gone with that didn't make their baby sound like an airline or an ordinal direction on a compass.

I can't imagine that people -- at least anyone worth paying any attention to -- would have called the trio the name of a horrible white supremist group. But, hey, Kim has had to deal with more hate that I'll ever deal with in a lifetime, so perhaps she knows better.

Maybe if she'd given the baby a K first name and middle initial, and the baby went by Kardashian, that would be a little strange. I mean, monogrammed towels wouldn't look so good. But I think a K name would have been fine -- too expected, though. Too much like branding your baby rather than naming it.

How sad that Kim and Kanye are paranoid to the point where they think people would call them KKK!

Would they do that?! Damn. That's sick.

Do you buy Kim's explanation for not giving North a K name?

Jennifer Aniston Finally Reveals Her Wedding Plans

Well, folks, it looks like Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux aren't getting married anytime soon, based on comments she made to set the record straight on the state of their relationship.

Yes, they're still engaged, but as far as finally tying the knot goes, it sounds like timing is a major issue for them.

Jen told The Associated Press, "We just want to do it when it's perfect, and we're not rushed, and no one is rushing from a job or rushing to a job."

Huh. I guess that makes sense.

But there's also another reason Jen and Justin aren't in a hurry to get hitched.

She said, "We already feel married."

Ugh. Typical Hollywood statement. But feeling married and being married are two totally different things, so if they're really as happy and in love as they claim to be, why not get this show on the road and seal the deal already?

I mean, given how busy they are, the timing is never going to be exactly perfect, so they might as well at least get some sort of plans in the works.

Long engagements tend to lead to all sorts of rumors about trouble in the relationship, which Jen and Justin have had their fair share of -- but she insists that everything is still hunky-dory.

Jen added, "We have yet to set any dates. There have been no canceled weddings. There have been no postponed weddings. There have been no arguments about where to get married. Just clearing all that up."

Ok, so basically Jennifer Aniston is engaged and the wedding is on but it may or may not ever actually happen. (What else is new?)

Do you think Jennifer will ever marry Justin?
