Celebrity Gossip! Rihanna Opens Up to Diane Sawyer

Several months after that fateful car ride with Chris Brown, Rihanna has decided to open up about her ordeal. In an interview with Diane Sawyer, Rihanna looks thoughtful, saying, "This happened to me . . . it can happen to anyone." She also reveals that the incident was especially hard on her, since Brown was "her first big love." Rihanna's decision to finally open up about her experience with domestic violence comes at an interesting time - less than three weeks before the release of her new album, Rated R. Brown is currently serving his sentence and is also preparing to release a new album in December entitled Graffiti.

Although Twilight star Robert Pattinson constantly has to fend off advances from his eager fans, according to the actor, it's not easy. In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Pattinson says he's "trying not to drown." Although he's constantly surrounded by mobs of adoring fans, the actor goes on to say, "I'm not much of a crowd person." As to his oft-reported romance with co-star Kristen Stewart, the actor (once again) denies everything. He claims the twosome are just "good friends" and that he admires her deeply. Stewart, in her characteristic shrewish fashion, has more to say about the rumors of a romance with Pattinson: "It's so retarded."

The ever-hypocritical Mel Gibson is officially a father - for the eighth time. His much-younger girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, became pregnant with Gibson's child while he was still married to his wife of 30 years, Robyn. The couple officially filed for divorce in April. For Gibson, who backed production of Passion of the Christ and runs his own church, this must be a proud moment.

Celebrity Gossip: Twilight's Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart

+Twilight's +Robert Pattinson is setting the record straight in the new issue of Vanity Fair. The actor says he and co-star Kristin Stewart are "simply good friends" and he considers her to be the best "young actress." The star also talks about how he is a very shy and reserved guy and how all this press from Twilight and his supposed romance with Kristin is not something that he likes at all. He tells the magazine, "I guess I'm not the type of guy cut out to do a franchise." Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has something slightly different to say about the actor being shy. She says that he was definitely not shy on the set of the movies as he was "always drunk" and playing his guitar for others. On the relationship between Kristin and Robert, Catherine says, "What Rob and Kristen had is a multitude of feelings for each other . . . Complex, intense fascination." Kristin and Robert have sparked even more rumors about a relationship as the two were seen out several times together while filming the latest installment of Twilight: New Moon, which hits theaters on November 20th.

Jessica Simpson is not taking her sister's being axed from Melrose Place sitting down. The singer voiced her opinion about the show now that Ashlee has been released, and let's just say that she did not speak too highly about the show. On her Twitter account, Jessica wrote, "CW catching up on MP.who writes this crap? i have had bad scripts to work with, but this? thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press." It was announced last month that Ashlee would no longer be starring on Melrose Place and had been let go from the show. Her last episode will be seen in January. It has also been said that Ashlee and her husband Pete Wentz were putting off having another baby since Ashlee had her role on Melrose Place. Could this mean that another little Simpson-Wentz could be coming soon?

Celebrity Gossip: Justin Timberlake and Rihanna? Don't think so!

Nov 11, 2009 by Tiffany B


Despite rumors that Jennifer Aniston will host a weekly talk show for Oprah Winfrey's cable channel, a rep for the actress has confirmed that Aniston is not returning to television. There were several tabloids and celebrity magazines that alleged the star didn't care about money and wanted to do the show because she thought it would be fun. A rep for the actress told US magazine that the rumors were "absolutely false." Jennifer has not taken on a full time television role since she played Rachel Green on Friends 10 years ago. Her friend and former co-star Courtney Cox-Arquette just recently returned to television once again the show Cougar Town.

Once again rumors that have been circulating in the tabloids as well as online websites have been proven to be untrue for now. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel were spotted walking arm in arm last week and just recently conquered climbing Grouse Grind, which is a trail 2,800 feet up to the peak of Grouse Mountain, together. There have been rumors spreading all over that the couple has split up and that Justin is already dating Rihanna. I don't think Rihanna would like Justin spending time with his ex-girlfriend like this, so I for right now I am saying that Justin and Jessica are still on.

Could Taylor Swift and Twilight hottie Taylor Lautner be more than just friends? The two are filming a movie called Valentine's Day together but have been seen together quite a bit off of the movie lot. Lautner attended Swift's concert in Chicago and was given a special hug a few weeks ago. Recently the two were spotted at the Los Angeles Kings game and hanging out afterwards. Reps for Swift or Lautner did not comment on the relationship. Wouldn't these two make a pretty good looking couple even though Lautner is still a minor at 17 years old and Swift is 19 years old?

Celebrity Gossip: Alyssa Milano Marries Again

0 comments
Aug 24, 2009 by Tiffany B.

Actress Alyssa Milano has gotten married again! The Charmed actress married her fiancé David Bugliari on Saturday, August 15. The couple had their wedding at Bugliari's parent's estate in New Jersey. The actress wore a custom gown by Vera Wang and walked down the aisle to *John Lennon*'s "Imagine." The guests, which included actor Bradley Cooper, ate dinner in tents that were set up like old rustic farmhouses. Milano had been known for constantly going for athletes as she has dated Major League pitchers Carl Pavano, Barry Zito, and Brad Penny. Alyssa had previously been married to rocker Cinjun Tate and was also engaged to actor Scott Wolf.

Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson fueled more romance rumors as they were spotted getting quite cozy at a Kings of Leon concert in Vancouver. They are currently filming the third Twilight movie and have been spending quite a bit of time together. The couple even appears as if they were kissing at the concert. Both Kristen and Robert have never admitted to a romantic relationship and remain that they are just good friends.

Apparently singer LeAnn Rimes is enjoying the single life with her girlfriends. She was seen laughing and having a good time with a friend at Takao in Brentwood, CA. The singer just announced last month that her and her husband Dean Sheremet are officially separated. This comes shortly after rumors spread that LeAnn and her Northern Lights costar Eddie Cibrian were having an affair. The couple says that as they got older (they got married when she was 19 and he was 21) they started growing apart. Also, as Rimes started expanding her career into acting she had been traveling to Los Angeles quite a bit while Dean's career as a songwriter kept him in Nashville. Apparently LeAnn and Dean are still friends and keeping their options open as to what happens with their relationship.

Celebrity Gossip: Twilight Stars Making Headlines

Aug 21, 2009 by Rebecca White-Glanders

Bad news for all those guys who crushed on petite actress Alyssa Milano: she is now, officially, off the market. Milano, 36, married her Hollywood agent beau David Bugliari over the weekend at his family's estate in New Jersey. Bugliari proposed to Milano last December after dating since 2006.

Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart are adding fuel to the rumors that they may be more off-screen than just "friends." The couple were spotted at the Chateau Marmont recently. While a friend joined them for a while, he left at 1:00 a.m.; Kristen and Rob stayed all night. They were also photographed getting very cuddly at a Kings of Leon concert, where they seemed to have more interest in each other than the music. Will a relationship ever be confirmed? The obsessive fans of Twilight are keeping their fingers crossed. Nothing makes for hot onscreen action like an off-screen fling.

Unfortunately, Rob and Kristin's possible relationship isn't the only major gossip surrounding the cast. Nothing increases name recognition like a good nude scandal. Nude and provocative photos of actress Ashley Greene, known for her role as the adorable Alice Cullen, have been circulating on the web. Greene is reportedly furious, and claims the photos were taken when she was 19 as part of her aspirations to be a model. For her part, Ashley's lawyer is threatening legal action against any site refusing to take down the photos.

The attention-loving Lady Gaga is at it again, this time posing for a Goth-inspired photo spread and interview in the LGBT magazine Out. In her interview, Gaga admits that although she has been with women, she herself is not gay, but she feels very involved in the gay scene. She jokingly says that her goal is to turn the world gay. As longterm goals go, it's an interesting one.

Celebrity Gossip: Twilight Actress gets Replaced!

Aug 7, 2009 by Rebecca White-Glanders

Mel Gibson has fallen far from his days as a Hollywood heartthrob. Gibson, whose conversion to Christianity spurred him to sponsor The Passion of the Christ movie and found his own church, has had his seemingly hypocritical recent actions under scrutiny. His initial DUI and subsequent anti-Semitic rant was the first of his public problems. Then, after announcing a divorce from his long-standing wife Robin, it was revealed that Gibson had gotten his new girlfriend Oksana Gregorieva pregnant before the divorce was filed. Now, Gibson is being accused of battery after allegedly ripping a photographer's shirt open at a club in Los Angeles. One has to wonder what, exactly, Gibson is preaching at his church.

Twilight fans are in an uproar over the replacement of actress Rachelle Lefevre as dangerous vampire Victoria, and the professional mudslinging is getting ugly. Lefevre, who has been replaced in her role as Victoria by Bryce Dallas Howard, claims that she is 'stunned' by Summit Entertainment's decision to oust her from her role in Eclipse. She claims a brief 10-day commitment to another film, Barney's Version, which was allowed in her Twilight Saga contract, overlapped with the Eclipse three-month filming schedule, and the producers refused to work with her. Summit shot back with a statement almost immediately, claiming Lefevre waited until July 20 to advise them she would be unable for filming during that time, when she had taken the role in early June. They claim that having to coordinate with so many actors so soon (with the filming starting in August), and her choice to delay telling them, made her simply unavailable for the film when they needed her.

Thankfully, the issue of where *Michael Jackson*'s children will live has finally been resolved. The children - Prince Michael I, Paris and Prince Michael II - will be in the custody of Michael Jackson's 79-year-old mother, Katherine. No word yet as to Debbie Rowe's take on the court decision.

Celebrity Gossip: Lindsay Lohan is Getting a Reality Show?

0 comments
Jun 29, 2009 by Rebecca White-Glanders

For starters, like a bad penny that keeps turning up, attention starved former-superstar Lindsay Lohan is reportedly in talks with Ryan Seacrest to pen a reality show about the troubled starlet's life. While details are sketchy at present, Seacrest has Twittered on his blog that this is the sort of thing that gives people their second chance. Let's hope so for Lindsay's sake.

While it won't be out until this holiday season, Robert Downy Jr. and Jude Law are currently rocking the preview posters for his heavily revisionist take on Sherlock Holmes this week. While 19th century fashions may be hard to come by, men of taste will note that Mr. Law's jacket style closely resembles Zappos's own Ted Baker Vanbil jacket. We'll have to wait and see if the movie wears as good as those clothes, but for now the teaser trailers are showing some high promise.

The rumor mill this week has been pairing Selena Gomez with ultra hot Twilight star Taylor Lautner. While both camps have been mum on the subject, according to Ryan Seacrest's Top 40 broadcast Selena did recently disclose in an interview that there is in fact nothing going on between the two, and that her favorite Twilight actor is in fact Robert Pattinson. Considering the level of secrecy and misdirection that has surrounded the supposed relationships of the Twilight stars, this could merely be a smoke screen to give the two young stars some privacy.

Speaking of Pattinson, fans will be happy to note he is currently slated to star in the romantic drama Unbound Captives alongside Hollywood heartthrobs Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz. The story follows a widowed woman and her search for her missing children. Fans undoubtedly will be searching for behind the scenes photos of the actors together.

Finally, Sandra Bullock is once again the queen of the box office with her latest romantic comedy, The Proposal. The film grossed over 34 Million domestic this weekend, which is a breath of fresh air for Ms. Bullock. Her last two film outings, Premonition and Infamous, hardly dented the box office earnings sheets, let alone our memories. Hopefully, this marks a strong comeback for one of Hollywood's most recognizable women.

Celebrity Style Mashup: Not So Clueless - Bella and Cher

0 comments
Jun 23, 2009 by Pam Gaulin

The goth and hip style of Kristen Stewart's Bella in Twilight could benefit from a feminine touch, as much as Alicia Silverstone's Cher in Clueless could use a little more brooding in her wardrobe. Combine the feminine innocence of Cher's fashion with the darker and more androgynous look of Bella for a stylish celebrity fashion mash-up.

White Meet Black
A classic look from the movie Clueless that still intrigues girls today are white knee-high socks and above-the-knee socks. In Cher's day, way back in 1995, the white knee socks were worn with a happy yellow plaid skirt.

Where Cher's shoes were shiny, patent leather, Kristen Stewart in Twilight is more apt to don a pair of Chucks or Doc Martens. Combine the look of white patent leather and the edge of a black sole with black laces and you have these celebrity mash-up boots by Timberland.

Accessory Lessons
Kristen Stewart can take accessory lessons from Alicia Silverstone's Cher. Whether it's a color-coordinated phone, a wide headband or the perfect dangling earrings, Cher was always dressed from head to feet. Spruce up your own Kristen Stewart-inspired outfit with a black beret, totally Cher, but ideal for Twilight weather.

Distressed Polish
Continue the polished meets distressed look. Combine a tailored blouse with a thin, high belt and a pair of distressed and torn jeans. Wear a pair of open-toed ankle boots in metallic or silver for a more innocent look, or be brash and wear black booties.

Plaids
One crossover element in both of these character's wardrobes is plaid. For a clean, preppy look opt for white with black stripes, or a yellow or pink fabric with black or chocolate brown stripes. For the more Twilight look, a red or gray plaid works. Combine Twilight and Clueless styles by starting with a pastel-colored skort and combining it with black and gray clothing and accessories.

Celebrity Gossip: Rihanna and Chris Brown Trial Ready to Start

Jun 22, 2009 by Stephanie Sims

Vampires have bitten the nation! With Twilight being dubbed as the next Harry Potter, until the second movie in the series, New Moon, comes out, people will have to settle for season two of True Blood, a vampire series on HBO. Anna Paquin stars, and according to various entertainment websites, she'll be showing lots more skin. Photos of a topless Paquin filming a scene have been leaked, and it's rumored even more of her will be bared during the season.

Speaking of baring skin, Bethenny Frankel of The Real Housewives of New York showed a little too much in a sheer black jumpsuit at the Apollo Theater 75th Anniversary Gala the week of June 13th. We guess now that the show has wrapped, she really wants to put herself out there.

And finally, Rihanna is getting ready to testify against her ex-boyfriend (and rumored current boyfriend, according to gossip sites), Chris Brown, in his assault trial. The singer will be in LA Monday, June 22 to testify at the preliminary hearing. It looks like Brown is already trying to clean up his public image, however. He's allegedly hired a crisis management company called Sitrick and Company to help reverse his public image. Everything he's done thus far, from his appearance at the NBA final game with a Rihanna-lookalike to his video on YouTube has been the carefully calculated work of the firm. But even though making more tame public appearances might make the trial fade into the background for some people, we're sure it's not working with Rihanna. The preliminary hearing should be interesting.

Celebrity Gossip: Real Housewife Evicted, More Roles for Stewart

Dec 22, 2008 by Tiffany B

For anybody who watched the television show, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, you know that NeNe was quite outspoken and definitely was seen as having an attitude. Well, it seems like maybe she should have kept her mouth quiet, because it is being reported that NeNe and her husband, Gregory, were evicted from the 5,000 square-foot house that they lived in on the show. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the couple was served with an eviction notice by Winwood Properties for owing $6,240 in past rent. The notice also states, "The tenant said they would move by Sept. 14th because they could no longer afford the house." NeNe is claiming that no one knows exactly what is going on and they are not having any financial trouble. I'm not sure what she expected, as she went on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and flaunted all the money, and now she's getting upset when things are being said about her. If you put yourself out there like that, you have to expect that your life is going to become public knowledge.

Who would you pick to play rocker Joan Jett in a movie? It seems that the producers of the new movie based on Joan Jett's life have picked Kristen Stewart. If that name seems familiar, it is because she plays the main character in the Twilight movie. The Joan Jett movie will have to be filmed in between the two sequels that are already set for Twilight, as Stewart has already committed to the sequels. The movie about Joan Jett will be about Jett as a teenager up until the time her band dissolved. I'm guessing that we will be seeing a lot more of Kristen Stewart on movie screens in the near future!

Importance of Clothing in Film: Twilight

0 comments
Dec 10, 2008 by Racheline M.

Twilight, the wildly popular vampire teen romance novel, comes to the big screen as one of the most anticipated films of the year. Like all vampire stories, Twilight is absolutely about beauty, which means fashion matters whether you want to look like Edward, everyone's dreamy, undead boyfriend, or Bella, the lucky girl he falls in love with.

Because so much of Twilight takes place in high school, costume designer Wendy Chuck was sure to use the brands teens crave, featuring things like Levi's, Guess, Miss Sixty and G-star, while also mixing vintage pieces with new looks. Chuck has also worked hard to make sure that the wardrobe for the vampires enhances their otherworldly beauty, relying on blues and grays to give the film a consistently dark look.

But make no mistake, these vampires aren't Goths. Here the undead go for classic tailoring with colors and silhouettes that, while modern, also wouldn't be out of place fifty years ago.

All the vampires in the world of Twilight aren't as pleasant as pin-up boy Edward Cullen. This group of nomad vampires takes on an edgier look, while still avoiding vampire clichés of velvet and black. Earth tones and an edgier, mismatched look define the style of the nomad vampires, but their clothes are still simple.

For Bella, Edward's mortal love, Chuck made sure to include touches of delicacy to her teen wardrobe, adding flowered embroidery and other feminine motifs to her costumes. Like the vampires in Twilight, Bella's look is about letting her natural beauty shine through. Clothes in the world of this film are used to accentuate beauty, not create it.

Unlike many film looks, getting Twilight style for yourself is easy, because of the number of affordable, off-the-rack pieces that went into the design concept. That said, Edward has a few custom pieces and does dress up for Bella's prom, showing up in a Gucci jacket. Luckily, with Chuck's sense of style and the fantastic world of Twilight as a guide, you don't have to live forever to figure out how to dress fabulously.
