Warner Bros. has hired writer Natalie Krinsky to adapt YA novel I'll Give You the Sun.

The studio optioned Jandy Nelson's buzzy book in June before it hit stores in September via Penguin division Dial Press. The story centers on Jude and her twin brother, Noah, who were very close growing up but have become estranged as teens after a tragedy. The coming-of-age story, with chapters told from each perspective, follows the teens who, if they could just find their way back to one another, could remake their broken world.

Denise Di Novi and Alison Greenspan, who produced this summer's YA hit If I Stay, are producing while Courtenay Valenti and Julia Spiro are overseeing for the studio.

Krinsky definitely has the right voice for a teen-centric, coming-of-age story. She's worked on several TV shows, including the CW's 90210 remake and hit show Gossip Girl. She more recently worked on Fox's new show Red Band Society (about teens living on a hospital's pediatric ward) and ABC's Grey's Anatomy.

On the feature side, Krinsky wrote the 2011 Black List script The Museum of Broken Relationships, about a woman who decides to blog about the objects she acquires from breakups. She also wrote the wedding-planning story The Knot for Fox. Most recently, she adapted J. Courtney Sullivan's novel The Engagements for Fox 2000, with Reese Witherspoon producing. Krinsky is repped by CAA and Gotham.

Mario Lopez: I Lost My Virginity at Age ... - The <b>Hollywood Gossip</b>

Posted: 06 Oct 2014 04:47 AM PDT

You don't need The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story to give you dirt on Mario Lopez, as he authorized the release of tons of it in his new memoir.

Just Between Us contains plenty of eye-popping details, including the age at which the actor and Extra host lost his virginity. Spoiler alert: He wasn't old.

"I started having sex so young. The day before my 13th birthday," he reveals. "I know I made my share of mistakes, and sometimes big ones."

"I had to learn all my lessons the hard way."

Lopez, now 40, also divulges that he got a girl pregnant as a teenager. She terminated the pregnancy, as the two were not ready to take that step.

"I could have a kid who is 25 years old," says the father of two, regarding of the prospect of being a parent at that point in his life. "That's unbelievable!"

Regarding his scandalous two-week marriage to Ali Landry in 2004, which ended after photos of him and another woman at his bachelor party surfaced?

"I got inebriated and a little too friendly with a young lady," Lopez writes. "When it was time to return home, lightning hit me with the truth: I wasn't in love."

"But I walked down the aisle," he laments, taking the blame he deservedly got from his soon-to-be-ex-wife. "Ali was hurt and angry, rightfully so."

Oh, and about seven years ago, before he got together with his wife Courtney Mazza, the mother of his two kids, he banged a big pop star in Vegas.

He won't reveal the singer's identity, however.

Lopez told Ellen DeGeneres when asked about this revelation in his book, "I'm a gentleman. I don't want to drop names. I don't want to go there."

Not so gentlemanly as to omit it from his memoir, because he knows it will get us talking, but he's not going to name names here. Come on, people!

That won't stop us from speculating, of course. Because it was 2007, we're guessing Britney Spears, as she was single and got around a ton that year.

Just a theory. We'll never know for sure.

When did other stars give it up for the first time? Who lost his virginity at age eight (yes, eight)? Check out the gallery below, which will surprise you:

Stephen Collins, Veteran TV Star, Admits to Child Molestation - The <b>...</b>

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 04:11 AM PDT

Stephen Collins, a veteran television star best known for roles on 7th Heaven and Revolution, could be in serious trouble with the law.

In 2012, the actor and wife Faye Grant (with whom he's now embroiled in messy, drawn-out divorce proceedings) visited a therapist who asked Collins about a number of child molestation instances from several years prior.

Collins responded with specific details regarding him abusing and/or exposing himself to numerous underage girls - AND GRANT TAPED THESE THERAPY SESSIONS, unbeknownst to Collins at the time, of course.

Stephen Collins Admits to Child Molestation

Grant was advised to record the sessions by her attorney because California law permits one to gather evidence in such a manner against another person who committed a violent felony.

In the recording, obtained by TMZ, Collins talks about making a "disclosure" and a "list," the latter of which refers to the confession Collins had already made to Grant about these sordid tales from his past, which is what prompted the therapy session in the first place.

Collins then gets disturbingly specific about cases of clear child molestation.

He says that he "put [the] hand" of an 11-year old relative of his first wife "on my penis."

He says he exposed himself to that same girl "a couple of times" when she was 11, 12 and 13 years of age.

He says he had a "partial" erection at the time as well.

Collins also notes a young neighbor of his from years ago who he later apologized to for abusing. He then confirms an incident involving a 12 or 13-year old from New York.

NYPD officials are now in possession of this tape, according to multiple reports.

Last Wednesday, two detectives from the Special Victims Unit flew to Los Angeles to interview Grant, with an officer telling TMZ there's an active investigation that centers on "at least 3 victims."

Stephen Collins is accused of inappropriate sexual contact with minors.

The law states that he could still prosecuted because the statute of limitations has not yet expired after his first wife reported the incident with her young relative in 2012.

Collins, who is on the National Board of the Screen Actors Guild, is yet to respond to these allegations or this recording, but will likely have to soon ...

The Stephen Collins saga just took an even more disturbing twist.

With the Internet already abuzz over Collins seemingly admitting to child molestation in multiple instances, TMZ has obtained an email sent to the actor by estranged wife Faye Grant.

In the message - sent to Collins last year, not long after he disclosed to Grant that he exposed himself to three girls between the ages of 11 and 13 - Grant references something the star supposedly said after the couple welcomed their daughter into the world ...

Faye Grant and Stephen Collins

The email reads as follows:

"The comment you made just before I gave birth to our daughter when you said you hoped we didn't have a little boy, because 'you just didn't know if you could keep his little penis out of your mouth' was indication enough that you were sick.

"I should have followed my gut then, and then again 14 years ago, and kicked your ass to the curb."

Grant and Collins have been engaged in an ugly divorce battle for months.

The former has denied leaking a recording she made of Collins during a 2012 therapy session in which he detailed how he molested multiple girls, overtly saying that he placed the hand of one child on his penis.

You can listen to that recording here:

Collins is yet to speak on these allegations, but his attorney claims Grant has been threatening to expose the audio as a form of extortion against him.

His side of the story is that she wanted millions of dollars to remain silent.

But this attorney does not deny that the voice on the tape belongs to Collins; nor that the accusations of sexual misconduct with minors are false.

A source close to the former 7th Heaven lead does tell TMZ, however, that this alleged Grant email was never sent to Collins and that he never said anything resembling the disgusting words printed above.

Grant, meanwhile, also says she fears there are MORE victims out there.

This week on Love & Hip Hop Hollywood, Morgan, now famously, showed Teairra and Masika pictures of Nikki Mudarris pre-plastic surgery. (Pictures here!) On the next episode, Nikki stops by Ray J's music video shoot where she is bringing video models but things get heated when she calls out Morgan.

"I just think that was a little bit phony," Nikki says to Morgan, who responds saying Nikki wasn't there so she really doesn't know how it went down. When Nikki continues to get defensive and Morgan continues to be dismissive, Ray J steps in to try and diffuse the altercation. But then Morgan fires back, asking, "did we ask for Video Vixens or prostitutes!?"

Could Nikki be the mother in a brothel? Is Morgan tripping, acting like it wasn't shady-boots to show Nikki's before photos? Find out how it all goes down on an all new Love & Hip Hop Hollywood, Monday at 8 PM ET/PT.
