Lil Twist: Accused of Beating, Pantsing Chris Massey! - The <b>...</b>

Posted: 09 Nov 2014 04:25 AM PST

Justin Bieber's BFF Lil Twist is in hot water again, this time for an alleged beating (and pantsing) of actor Chris Massey following an argument on Friday.

  • Kyle and Chris Massey

Sources report that Chris Massey, his brother Kyle Massey, Lil Twist and others were kicking it at Kyle's apartment across from The Grove in L.A. at the time.

After a heated dispute erupted (it's unclear why), Twist and some of his friends came at Chris, pounding him and then pulling his pants down for good measure.

Chris, an actor who once starred alongside Jamie Lynn Spears on Zoey 101, went to the hospital to seek treatment and has filed a report with the cops.

The police are investigating the allegations against Twist.

Massey's family later released a statement saying Chris is doing well after the incident, but he plans to "legally pursue this to the full extent of the law."

Twist knows a thing or two about trouble with the law.

He and his cohort Lil Za have been involved in a number of vehicular incidents and controversial parties at Bieber's house, mostly in 2013 and early 2014.

Chris Massey, for his part, was also part of a failed reality show idea starring Bristol Palin, who may or may not have been dating his brother Kyle at the time.

That was hilarious. Getting pantsed? Not as much.

Yung Berg: Fired From Love & Hip Hop <b>Hollywood</b> After Attack on <b>...</b>

Posted: 09 Nov 2014 03:50 AM PST

Yung Berg has been fired from VH1's Love & Hip Hop Hollywood following his alleged attack on his co-star and girlfriend Masika Tucker, the network confirms.

Yung Berg, Masika Tucker

Due to the "severity of the allegations" stemming from Yung Berg's arrest for domestic assault after a confrontation with Tucker, VH1 wants no more of him.

The reality star (a.k.a. Christian Ward, a.k.a. Hitmaka) was arrested early Wednesday, and charged with criminal obstruction of breathing, a misdemeanor.

If convicted, he would face a maximum punishment of one year in jail.

Police responded to a 911 call from the Gershwin Hotel in Manhattan saying that the rapper's girlfriend, who also goes by Masika Kalysha, got attacked.

Witnesses say the 29-year-old Yung Berg grabbed Masika by her neck, threw her to the ground, dragged her by the hair and punched her in the face.

The cable network said in a statement releasing the star:

"Based on the severity of the allegations against Yung Berg, VH1 is terminating its relationship with him in connection with Love & Hip Hop Hollywood."

"Yung Berg was arrested on November 5th and charged with criminal obstruction of breathing in connection with an assault on fellow cast member Masika Tucker."

"The arrest took place in a New York hotel several hours after the taping of the reunion special for Love & Hip Hop Hollywood had wrapped."

Berg's termination takes place "effective immediately."

Masika has reportedly come to her man's defense, blaming it on alcohol and an incident in which his credit card was turned down after the reunion show.

Whether she stays with him or not remains to be seen.

Yung Berg, who hails from Chicago, is also a producer and has worked with artists like TLC, Fifth Harmony, Sean "Diddy" Combs and Nicki Minaj.

You can watch Love & Hip Hop Hollywood online to more of Berg, Masika, Teairra, Ray J, Princess, Morgan, Soulja Boy, Omarion, Hazel E and Mally Mall.

There's a pretty good chance there will be fights when you catch up on past episodes, as stuff certainly gets heated ... but nothing like this altercation.

Macaulay Culkin Dead? Hoax Goes Viral, Claims Actor Found Dead <b>...</b>

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 11:06 AM PST

Macaulay Culkin is not dead, despite another fast-spreading Internet hoax indicating the Home Alone star's demise ... for the second time this year alone.

The troubled and sometimes reclusive actor, 34, who at one point was reportedly in the throes of heroin addiction and appeared gaunt, is alive and well.

Macaulay Culkin Alive!

According to the latest Macaulay Culkin death hoax, he was found dead in his Manhattan apartment. Facebook and Twitter users quickly bought in.

With fans linking to a story on something called MSNBC (dot) website (dot) com - obviously not the real NBC, MSN or MSNBC - the story went viral.

According to the unconfirmed and unsubstantiated reports, Culkin was found dead after police responded to a wellness check requested by a family member:

"At least one occupant of the Manhattan apartment confirmed the apartment belongs to Culkin but police have not confirmed the man's identity at this time."

Det. James Patterson, allegedly of the Manhattan Police Department, said:

"The apartment was exceptionally clean and we found no signs of abuse or foul-play so we are depending on the coroner to make a final ruling of what happened."

The actor turned musician was also reported dead back in April, with Facebook users mourning his alleged death and even a memorial page popping up.

Though reps for the actor denied the April reports, they have not yet spoken out on the latest hoax claiming that Culkin is dead ... but he's still not.

He was seen with his band, The Pizza Underground, last night (see above).

Culkin has become much lower profile as an adult than when he was one of the biggest child stars of all time, so it's easy to see how one would believe this.

Mila Kunis' longtime boyfriend is doing perfectly fine for himself, though, despite pranksters with no consciences attempting to spread such nasty rumors.

Add this to the list of celebrities the Internet has fake killed over the years.

Charlie Ebersol and Britney Spears: First Romantic Look!!! - The <b>...</b>

Posted: 09 Nov 2014 06:55 AM PST

Charlie Ebersol and Britney Spears are ready for their close-up.

Literally!

The singer, who confirmed she has someone special in her life earlier this week in an interview with Access Hollywood, has posted a selfie on Instagram of her and the television producer.

Charlie Ebersol and Britney Spears

Spears did not need a single actual word to express her feelings for Eberson, including as a caption to this image a mere heart emoticon.

Sometimes, a symbol says a thousand words, don't you agree?

"They met through friends," an insider tells E! News. "He is the sweetest guy ever and they are very much enjoying getting to know one another. They are both very happy and having fun."

This new relationship with Charlie Ebersol comes just two months after Spears ended things with David Lucado, allegedly due to his infidelity.

The star hasn't spoken much on that split, but she did write online soon after it went public: "Ahhh the single life!"

As for her and Ebersol?

"It's just the beginning so no idea if it will become serious," the same source tells E! News. "But right now, they are having a lot of fun together."

Demi Lovato Honors Family with New Tattoo - The <b>Hollywood Gossip</b>

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 06:00 AM PST

Demi Lovato is all about family. And tattoos.

Demi Lovato is all about family and tattoos.

In June, the artist paid tribute to her late, gay grandfather via a moving speech in concert.

And now the singer has gotten yet another tattoo, this one a bit confusing at first until one conducts a bit of research.

Demi Lovato has a new tattoo. It displays the birthdays of all of her relatives, in roman numerals. Kind of cool. We guess.

As a few savvy Twitter users discovered, the Angelina Jolie-esque etching depicts each of her family member's birthdays in Roman numerals.

Lovato has included her mother Dianna, sisters Dallas and Maddie, as well as her step-father Eddie and her biological dad Patrick in the following (translated) manner:

  • 08.09.1962 - Dianna
  • 02.04.1988 - Dallas
  • 12.28.2001 - Maddie
  • 02.14.1963 - Eddie
  • 10.23.1960 - Patrick

Lovato is no stranger to meaningful tattoos, having previously inked herself with the phrase "now I'm a warrior" on her back.

Demi also has tattoos of soaring birds on her forearm, along with the words "stay" and "strong" on her wrists and "Let go" and "Let God" stamped on her feet.

Which of these is your favorite? Click through the photo gallery above and then compare Demi's ink to that of other stars below:

Justin Bieber has a tattoo of Jesus Christ on his left calf. We wonder how Jesus would react to some of this singer's actions.

Kendra Wilkinson on Hank Baskett: We'll Be Together Forever ... | Gossip Hollywood Blog

Kendra Wilkinson on Hank Baskett: We&#39;ll Be Together Forever <b>...</b>

Posted: 07 Nov 2014 06:50 PM PST

Once and for all, Kendra Wilkinson has answered all questions about her marriage to Hank Baskett.

It is intact and it will remain intact. Until death does the couple part.

"He loves me and we're gonna be together for the rest of our lives," Kendra told Access Hollywood on Friday. "We'll prove it ... until we're 100 years old. We're gonna be together forever."

Kendra Wilkinson on Kendra on Top

Questions over the future of this relationship have hung over the relationship for months, ever since rumors surfaced of Baskett receiving manual pleasure from a transgender model named Ava London.

Anyone who chooses to watch Kendra on Top online via the Internet, meanwhile, would think Kendra is on the verge of leaving her husband.

However, the episodes of that WEtv reality series were filmed a long time ago and Wilkinson has either come around... or the pair has realized that they can make more money by remaining together.

On last week's episode, Wilkinson confronted her estranged husband and told him "We're not married right now. I'm not your wife."

What about the newly-surfaced audio recordings of Baskett? In which he allegedly talks about paying money  to London in exchange for secrecy?

"It's not what you think happened," she says. "I can't go on further past that. There is some investigation going on right now and that's why I have to stay away from some things."

Also because the entire thing is made up.

"We are on the road to recovery," Wilkinson concluded. "We are on the road to friendship again. I believe that our marriage has been shaken up and I believe that this is something that is gonna renew us.

"If you believe you're perfect and you don't believe in forgiveness, you're not meant to be married."

Or at least you're not meant to appear on reality TV shows that require interesting storylines. One or the other.

Amanda Bynes Homeless?! Actress Spotted Sleeping in L.A. <b>...</b>

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 01:57 PM PST

After some encouraging signs of improvement, Amanda Bynes has returned to the sort of troubling behavior that got her placed on 5150 psychiatric hold last month.

Sources say Bynes has been roaming around LA without a place to stay and refusing to accept help from her parents and others who have offered assistance.

Amanda Bynes Walking the Street

Earlier today, Amanda was spotted sleeping on a sofa in the Beverly Center shopping mall, the latest bizarre twist in a saga that gets sadder by the hour.

The actress took to Twitter in an attempt to assure fans that there's no cause for concern:

"I was not given money for a hotel so i have been staying with friends," she tweeted. "i didn't get enough sleep last night so I fell asleep on a couch."

She went on to rail against her parents and blame them for her current situation:

"What is wrong with them?" Bynes asked, incredulously.

"They don't deserve control over my money. They are miserable in their life and I will fight to have control of my finances taken away from them!"

Bynes will likely get her wish, for what it's worth, as her parents have reportedly decided it's best if they give up the conservatorship they have in place.

In fact, Rick and Lynn Bynes, who legally control Amanda's affairs but clearly can't control her, abruptly and unexpectedly decided to move to Texas.

There, they will be closer to Amanda's sister and hope that someone else can get through to Amanda, who clearly views her parents as a major threat.

This development led to rumors that they feared for their safety after Amanda threatened to kill them. Bynes' lawyer issued a statement today dismissing that rumor.

There's certainly no love lost, however, and her future is very much clouded after she was shockingly released from a psychiatric facility last month.

We hope she gets the help she needs, and soon.

The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 6 Recap: Border Wars - The <b>...</b>

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 06:21 PM PST

While The Stefan Salvatore Apology Tour made its way through The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 6, the bulk of this installment focused on Stefan's suddenly-returned handsome brother.

Oh, yes, present day Mystic Falls: Damon Salvatore is back.

But did he enjoy a welcome homecoming?

Watch The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 6 Online

In a word: No.

After rehashing part of what went down in 1994 (leaving out any mention of Kai and saying that Bonnie wasn't actually there), Damon is told by Stefan about the whole Elena memory erasing thing.

This makes it hard for Damon and Alaric to enjoy some bourbon together because Damon is angry over his best friend's actions, but Alaric says he won't return Elena's memories unless she asks him to.

Damon is then hanging out in Elena's dorm room after she refuses to see him when Tripp pays him a visit.

He came by to Caroline because her name was all over Ivy's phone, which Tripp stole after he killed and some other vampires by driving them into Mystic Falls.

Instead, he finds Damon and takes him hostage. He puts Damon in the same van as Enzo (happy reunion, fellas!) and is driving them out to Mystic Falls when Alaric and Stefan interrupt the trip right at the border.

The car flips over and both Stefan and Alaric risk their lives to save their friends. Stefan pulls Enzo and Damon to safety, but Alaric is badly injured.

Good thing (who earlier told Elena she knows that she and Alaric are vampires) is on the scene to work her doctor magic (is she a witch?), saving Alaric's life... but not before he loses his vampirism. He's now a human again.

This means he can't return Elena's memories to her, which she had just decided she wants him to do. Talk about unfortunate timing!

But Elena says she wants to see Damon after all in order to learn how she feels when they lock eyes. We end the episode with Elena opening her dorm door and these two standing across from each other.

ELSEWHERE:

  • Jeremy, believing Bonnie was never in 1994, accepts that she is gone. In a violent manner. He smashes his phone and bloodies his hand.
  • Matt tells Sarah that Damon and Stefan are her relatives. And that they're vampires.
  • Caroline tells Stefan she isn't sure if they can be friends again.

A very character-based episode without any real mythology, not that that's a bad thing.

No Kai. No Bonnie. And no major plot movement, except that the vampire secret is now out to Sarah, Jo and Tripp as well (he limped away from the accident at the border.)

But the main question is this: Will Elena get her memories back upon seeing Damon? Do you hope so?

Kate Middleton, Prince William Embark on Babymoon #2! Where Did <b>...</b>

Posted: 31 Oct 2014 05:27 AM PDT

Prince William and Kate Middleton have reportedly jetted off on their second babymoon together! Where are they taking a romantic pre-baby trip this time?

The Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge

The couple are off to Scotland, reports say, although unlike their last babymoon:

  1. There will be no Kate Middleton bikini photos taken from afar;
  2. There is also a baby in attendance that is not inside Kate!

Prince George is on hand along with William and Kate, who is pregnant with the couple's second child and "is doing a lot better" with morning sickness of late.

She endured the one hour flight from Heathrow airport to Aberdeen, the nearest stop to their destination Balmoral Castle, Queen Elizabeth's home in Scotland.

"William wanted to take Kate away for a break after her [rough past couple of months]," the insider close to the couple said of their trip to the residence.

"They both love the outdoors and the weather isn't too cold yet," according to the source, so for the two of them "it's the perfect time to take a trip."

While the couple are using the trip for a little R&R ahead of the arrival of their second child, the source adds they couldn't be happier to bring along little George.

"It's great that George is now at an age where he can travel," the insider says.

Last time Kate was pregnant, their getaway was to the tropics. No longer.

Staying close to home is a good thing for several reasons, not the least of which is her health, but there is also the little boy at home to think about now.

In any case, it looks like things are going quite well for the cute couple.

So much for reports of Kate fighting with William all the time and moving in with her folks. There isn't enough salt to take with some royal family rumors.

We hope they have a blast on their vacation and come back refreshed!

Phil Rudd, AC/DC Drummer, Arrested in Murder For Hire Plot - The <b>...</b>

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 02:35 AM PST

In shocking news no one saw coming this morning Phil Rudd, the drummer for AC/DC, was arrested in New Zealand for allegedly planning to have people killed.

Drugs were found in his waterfront home during an early morning police raid.

Phil Rudd, 60, was taken into custody early Thursday morning in New Zealand.

He has been charged with attempting to procure a murder, as well as with possession of methamphetamine and marijuana, which were found at his residence.

Rudd allegedly to hire a hit man to kill two other men for unknown reasons.

The names of the intended victims and the hit man were not released.

Rudd was released on bail after a brief court appearance. He must not have any sort of contact with anyone involved in the alleged murder plot as a result.

The sentence carries at least 10 years in prison.

Rudd was kicked out of the band, one of the biggest of all time, in 1983 and rejoined in 1994, but he did not appear in a new photo of band last month.

He reportedly absent from the filming of a new music video for the new album Rock or Bust, prompting speculation about whether he was still in the band.

Amanda Bynes UNLOADS on Twitter: My Father is a Sexual Predator!

Posted: 31 Oct 2014 10:18 AM PDT

Amanda Bynes is officially out of the psychiatric facility, and showing us why she was committed there in the first place with a Twitter rant for the ages.

Amanda Bynes in Court Photo

To the surprise and dismay of many, Amanda Bynes was released from psychiatric care last night after the facility decided they could not hold her there.

She had been placed under a 30-day involuntary hold at the Pasadena, Calif., hospital, but lobbied to be released and officials shockingly obliged.

Believing she was lucid and that legally she could not be held there any longer, he involuntary commitment was invalidated and she was cut loose.

Almost immediately, we're seeing why that decision will be immediately second guessed and may even prove extraordinarily dangerous before long.

In an epic and ongoing Twitter rant, the actress accused her father of sexual assault for the second time, and announced plans to get out of her conservatorship.

Here's what she's had to say in the last three hours:

All words simply fail us at this point.

It would be so, so funny if it weren't so, so sad and a little scary. It's not clear if Bynes really will be in court today and the outcome if so is even less certain.

After her parents' first conservatorship lapsed this summer, Amanda moved out of their house, failed out of school, and got arrested for DUI again.

A period of bizarre behavior soon followed.

Sam Lutfi, her "friend" and Britney Spears' former confidant, engineered a ruse earlier this month that ended with Bynes confined to the hospital.

She's clearly not happy about this.

Her current whereabouts are not known, but she's already made quite an appearance on L.A.'s Sunset Strip, specifically in the middle of one hotel lobby.

Bynes tried to get a room at London hotel after her release, but was turned away; Amanda has stayed there before and caused problems, TMZ reports.

The actress' response? Reaching into her bag, grabbing a giant wad of money and tossing the bills into the air in the direction of the front desk.

Stay tuned.

Robert Downey, Jr. and Wife Welcome Second Child! - The <b>...</b>

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 05:54 AM PST

It's a girl for Robert Downey, Jr. and his wife, Susan!

According to People Magazine, the actor behind nominee officially became the father of a baby girl yesterday in Los Angeles.

The child (name and measurements currently unknown) joins the couple's two-and-a-half-year old son, Exton Elias, along with Downey's 21-year-old son from a previous marriage.

Robert Downey, Jr., Wife

The star announced in July that he and his wife were expecting, initially Tweeting: "Yo. Susan. Me. Baby. Girl. November. Scorpio?"

He later added on Facebook, "Um. I don't know if it's a 'man's world', but I'm certain women run it. Susan and I are therefore delighted to announce we are expecting a baby."

Just a few days ago, Downey paid a moving tribute to his pregnant wife during the BAFTA Los Angeles Jaguar Britannia Awards, where he received the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film.

"It's just the uncertainty of how nowadays you have all these things where you think you have much more of an understanding of what you're going to get," he said. "And then this little soul lets herself be known to you, and it's just like: You don't know anything. It's great."

Downey then asked Susan to stand up and be acknowledged, asking the crowd lovingly:

"How is she still so darn pretty and functional and mood-stable?"

Joining Downey in celebrity parenthood, Kelly Rowland gave birth to a boy this week. Congrats across the board!

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher just became parents for the first time! She gave birth to a baby girl!! Congratulations!!

Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger: Maybe Sort of Dating <b>...</b>

Posted: 04 Nov 2014 04:37 AM PST

Sorry, Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble.

But another new couple in Hollywood may already be pushing you out of the spotlight.

According to E! News sources, Miley Cyrus is dating Patrick Schwarzenegger. Kind of. Sort of. A little bit, at least.

  • Miley Without a Bra
  • Patrick Schwarzenegger Image

Numerous insiders say the singer and the son of a certain famous actor "are not officially together," but Miley and Patrick have been spending a lot of time together of late.

But is it a lot of naked time? That's the key question.

Another insider claims the stars are simply "good friends."

Cyrus was spotted with Patrick as the pair went to Schwarzenegger's Los Angeles apartment to prepare for Halloween festivities on Friday morning.

They also went on the Universal Haunted Hayride together the day before, with a witness telling E! that Cyrus and Schwarzenegger were among six people in a group that also checked out the corn maze there.

Way back in 2011, Schwarznegger did express romantic interest in the musical superstar, telling Details Magazine: "My eye… is set on Miley."

Nothing came of it at the time, however, because Miley has recently gotten back together with Liam Hemsworth. Patrick Schwarzenegger then went on to date Taylor Swift.

But both those relationships are very much over. So what's holding these two back?!?

Virgin Galactic Crashes in California Desert, Kills Co-Pilot - The <b>...</b>

Posted: 31 Oct 2014 03:00 PM PDT

Virgin Galactic, the rocket ship owned by Richard Branson on which many celebrities had planned to blast off into space, crashed this afternoon in California's Mojave Desert.

Reports indicate that one co-pilot died in the accident, while others were seriously injured and at least one individual airlifted to a local hospital.

Galactic Pic

Reads a statement released by Virgin:

"Virgin Galactic's partner Scaled Composites conducted a powered test flight of SpaceShipTwo earlier today. During the test, the vehicle suffered a serious anomaly resulting in the loss of the vehicle."

The names of those on board at the time of the accident have not been released.

Branson confirmed the tragedy on Twitter, writing:

"Thoughts with all @virgingalactic & Scaled, thanks for all your messages of support. I'm flying to Mojave immediately to be with the team."

Virgin Galactic had planned for years to sell trips in which the vehicle transports passengers approximately 62 miles above Earth, allowing them to experience a few minutes of weightlessness before returning to ground.

In June of last year, Justin Bieber said that he and manager Scooter Braun had signed on to take one of the $250,000-a-person commercial suborbital flights, even claiming he would love to film a video in space.

Also, Lady Gaga had said she hoped to board a Virgin Galactic flight in 2015 and perform a song as part of the Zero G Colony music festival.

Weather does not appear to have been a factor in today's crash, as the rocket had successfully separated from its carrier plane during all of its 34 previous flights.

Our thoughts go out to the victims on board.

Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald: MARRIED! - The <b>Hollywood Gossip</b>

Posted: 01 Nov 2014 04:24 PM PDT

Continuing a banner year for her famous family, 19 Kids and Counting cast member Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald tied the knot Saturday in Arkansas.

Jessa Duggar, Ben Seewald Wedding Photo

The couple, who recited their own wedding vows in front of an estimated 1,000 guests, were saving their very first kiss until after they'd said "I do."

Anyone else hoping to witness it was left hanging, however.

"They wanted their very first kiss ever to be in private," Pastor Mike Schadt, who married the couple, said later. "It was important to the both of them."

He spoke to the crowd about the couple's big decision and asked Jessa's parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar to show the wedding crowd a kiss.

"So, now you've seen a Duggar kiss," Schadt said.

After spending some time alone with each other, the new bride and groom posed for pictures and later exchanged several sweet kisses at the reception.

The first, however, remains their memory alone.

The reception was also missing another traditional feature. The duo chose to have ice cream sundaes instead of cake, of which Jessa isn't a huge fan.

Jessa also chose a blush gown, not the usual white, from Tesori Bridal in Fayetteville, Ark., because she just felt it was the perfect choice for her.

Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald in one of their many sweet Instagram moments. Her shirt sums it all up, really.

Finally, the loving newlyweds were cheered on by the massive crowd who blew bubbles in the air as they left their reception in a horse-drawn carriage.

Engaged in August on the 11-month anniversary of when they began courting, Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald wasted little time planning their big day.

Hey, when you're all in for life at ages 21 and 19, respectively, and have been subsisting on side hugs for over a year, you might as well get down to it.

Jessa thus becomes the second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar to get married in 2014, and the third of their 19 children to tie the knot overall.

First born son Josh Duggar is married to Anna Duggar and has three children of his own, while Jill Duggar married Derick Dillard June 21 in Arkansas.

Appropriately, Jill and Derick's special wedding episode aired this past Tuesday night on TLC, just in time to pass torch along to her younger sister.

If you watch 19 Kids and Counting online, you can bet your bottom dollar that there'll be a Jessa and Ben wedding event before too long. We cannot wait.

As for Jana Duggar ... she's always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Don't even get us started on Jana or we'll get fired up and ruin this positive article.

#FreeJana! Sorry, had to. Anyway, congrats again, Jessa and Ben!!!

The Duggar parents often accompany their children on dates in order to maintain their "accountability" and "keep things from going in the wrong direction," per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave "moral danger." When the parents aren't available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair.

Leighton Meester in Nylon November 2014: <b>Hollywood</b> Needs <b>...</b>

Posted: 28 Oct 2014 06:57 AM PDT

Posted Tuesday October 28, 2014 9:57 AM GMT

After staying out of the limelight for a bit, Leighton Meester is ready to emerge from the shadows and take over the world.

The gorgeous actress/singer works her magic on the cover of Nylon magazine for November 2014, chatting about how she developed while working on "Gossip Girl."

"I started the show when I was so young, and once it was over, I wanted to do things that were more exciting and challenging and more me—more my adult taste. Of course, that's said with nothing but gratitude and love for that experience in that time of my life."

However, Leighton doesn't see a ton of equality between men and women in Hollywood. "As far as scripts go, the roles of women standing alone on their own as whole, real, full people are few and far between. So with both of those roles [Life Partners and Like Sunday, Like Rain], what I loved is that neither of them are centered around romantic relationships. They're flawed, real human beings that I could bread down and really enjoy playing. They're like me, in a way."

And as she approaches 30, Miss Meester notices things changing around her. "Most people I know are starting to get married. It'll be kids next. I like the grown-up stuff. I like having a house. I've got dogs."

Jana Duggar: Planning to Break Away From Famous Family?! - The <b>...</b>

Posted: 06 Oct 2014 06:58 AM PDT

While Jessa and Jill Duggar become celebrity news staples, the oldest daughter from TLC's 19 Kids and Counting, Jana Duggar, remains an enigma of sorts.

So much so, you might not know the 24-year-old even exists if you watch 19 Kids and Counting online this season but aren't a longtime Duggar devotee.

Jana Duggar Picture

If you missed it, Jill Duggar, 23, married Derrick Dillard in June and is carrying his child, while Jessa Duggar, 21, set to marry Ben Seewald November 1.

Jana Duggar? Mysteriously single and increasingly out of the reality TV limelight.

With patriarch Jim Bob's help, Jana's younger sisters and her older brother Josh Duggar have managed to court, settle down and make babies in short order.

Is there something about Jana that makes her different than her sisters, and anything less than prime courting material? Not as far as we can tell.

She's a nice-looking girl any number of young Arkansas males would seemingly bend over backwards to side-hug the ish out of any day of the week.

Not only that, she's quasi-famous yet very down-to-earth, sweet and smart, the whole package that many guys would kill for a chaperoned date with.

So what's her deal? Is she not allowed to get married by Jim Bob and forced to take care of her younger siblings, as has been rumored in the past?

Or, is she at odds with, and planning on making a break from, the family?

The Duggar parents often accompany their children on dates in order to maintain their "accountability" and "keep things from going in the wrong direction," per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave "moral danger." When the parents aren't available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair.

The most likely explanation of Jana's single status is that she and Jim Bob just haven't found The One yet. Admittedly, not everyone will fit the bill.

Given the things the Duggars do not allow and their rules for dating, that has to narrow the field a bit. But it didn't stop Josh, Jill or Jessa, now did it?

According to FreeJinger (dot) org, it might not be an accident that she's distancing herself from the family on 19 Kids and Counting and in private.

Very little is known for sure, but Jana is reportedly enrolled College Plus, where students can take classes that later transfer to physical colleges.

She is said to be considering a nursing degree, and she's trained as both a first responder and a midwife. She also does extensive missionary work.

As such, there's a lot of talk about her spreading her wings and flying solo, leaving her parents and the 18 kids behind. But it's unclear if she will do so.

It's equally unclear what that even entails as far as the conflict (or lack thereof) between herself and Jim Bob. As of right now, she's still a mystery.

Maybe FreeJinger should rename itself FreeJana. Just an idea.

Blake Lively: Pregnant With First Child! - The <b>Hollywood Gossip</b>

Posted: 06 Oct 2014 05:33 AM PDT

Blake Lively is pregnant with her first child, according to the actress herself, who broke the news somewhat cryptically on her new lifestyle site Preserve!

Lively, who is married to Ryan Reynolds, just launched a Preserve Celebration of Family on her site, in honor of "that special moment at the creation of family."

Publishing a host of pictures of happily pregnant women, Blake congratulated "all the expecting mothers out there," then shared one more special photo:

The photo of the Gossip Girl beauty and her baby bump was taken by her brother Eric Lively. Posing in the twilight, she cradles her future offspring proudly.

Lively has been quite vocal about wanting to start a family since marrying Ryan Reynolds in 2012, and as one of five kids, she says she wants a big one, too.

Still, no one saw this pregnancy coming.

The couple, who met while filming their 2011 movie, The Green Lantern, secretly wed in an intimate South Carolina ceremony and keep a low profile.

Since tying the knot, the two have been working on movies (or lifestyle websites) and have maintained minimal public presence, living quietly in Bedford, N.Y.

It won't be as quiet in a few months!

"We'd love to have a big family," Reynolds told Details in 2013 issue. "We both come from big families ... my parents did four, Blake's did five."

"A lot of people say it's crazy, but we'll only know when we're there, you know? We'll walk through that fire pretty happily, I think," the actor added.

Blake gushed to Vogue in August that Reynolds "is going to be a great father and leader and patriarch ... he's so meant to be all of those things."

"The fact that he lived so much before we got together, he's the exact realized person that he should be. And so I get to share my life with the person he's become."

"Now, we both get to grow from there."

Reynolds was previously married to Scarlett Johansson from 2008-10. Johansson gave birth to her first child, daughter Rose, with Romain Dauriac this fall.

Congratulations, Ryan and Blake!

Blake Lively is stunningly beautiful. And always has been. She is so gorgeous.
