Robert Pattinson was going to propose before Kristen Stewart cheated



Robert Pattinson was "weeks away" from proposing to Kristen Stewart before finding out she cheated on him.

The 'Twilight' star was due to ask for the brunette beauty's hand in marriage in the spring and he had even bought a £5 million Los Angeles mansion for the couple's future before being told of the 22-year-old star's affair with her 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director Rupert Sanders, 41.

A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper, “Robert hoped to marry Kristen and was making preparations to spring a proposal before she admitted cheating. He had bought the house in Los Angeles to be their home and saw them staying there for a long time."

But since discovering the news, Robert – whose character in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 married Kristen's alter-ego onscreen last year – is "angry" with Kristen and the 26-year-old hunk has moved out of their LA home.

The insider added, “Now Rob is angry – he’s left the mansion and not spoken to her since. They have exchanged heated text messages only.”

After pictures of Kristen and Rupert together emerged, the pair publically confessed to cheating on their respective lovers, and the director has "apologised profusely" to his model-and-actress wife Liberty Ross – who played Kristen's mother in Snow White and the Huntsman – in the hope he can save his marriage.

A friend explained, “Liberty is hurting. But she’s realistic. Things happen and marriage isn’t easy – she just hates the fact her name’s been dragged into all of this. Rupert has apologised profusely and she has accepted his apology. She hopes things get back on track – after all, they have kids together.”

Robert now wants to have a one-on-one chat with Rupert to find out "exactly what happened" between the filmmaker and his girlfriend.

A source said, "Rob wants to have a man to man chat with Rupert to find out exactly what happened between him and Kristen.

"Kristen has already betrayed his trust by cheating, so he can't be sure that she will tell him exactly what went on between her and Rupert."

Robert and Kristen are contractually obliged to be pictured side by side on the red carpet at the premiere of their final Twilight movie together, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, later this year.

Robert Pattinson feared Kristen Stewart was having secret affair for months



Robert Pattinson fears that Kristen Stewart’s affair with married film director Rupert Sanders might have gone on behind his back for months.

According to a friend, the 26-year-old actor is not sure if he could “get over this.

The Twilight actor, who has already quit the Los Angles mansion that he shared with Stewart, wants time alone to decide whether to make their current split permanent.

“He doesn’t know if he can move on. He feels humiliated and the wound will take a long time to heal, if at all,” the Mirror quoted a source as saying.

The 22-year-old actress has repeatedly insisted that her fling with the 41-year-old Brit movie maker was “a momentary indiscretion,” as she battles to save their three-year relationship.

But after new photos emerged showing both of them enjoying cosy dinner dates in Berlin and Los Angeles over several weeks, Pattinson “hit the roof,” and now believes that the pair may have been seeing each other since at least May.

“I can’t believe a word she says,” Pattinson said to a friend.

'The Vampire Diaries' Season 4 Spoilers: How Long Will the Tyler and Klaus Situation Last?



Michael Trevino told Wetpaint Entertainment, "I'm playing Klaus and I would like to think that it goes on for a few episodes but I think the run as Klaus might end sooner rather than later." As good as Trevino was in the season 3 finale as Klaus, there's nothing like Joseph Morgan in the role. Besides, the sooner Klaus is back in his own body, the sooner Tyler is back in control of his and they can explore the aftermath of the time Klaus spent in Tyler's body—and what he did (because you know he's going to be up to something). 

Trevino went on to say, "[Tyler] is not lost forever. I think eventually Tyler will come back into Tyler's body and we should be all good." He and Caroline will have to deal with whatever Klaus did in his body. They had only momentary happiness before it all went to hell at the end of last season, and even once Tyler is back in control, they still have to face the fact that the Council knows what they really are, thanks to Alaric. There's a vampire hunter coming to town, and he's going to mean trouble for everyone. Will Caroline and Tyler get the chance to be together and be happy for an extended period of time with everything going on and graduation approaching? Will their futures take them to different places?

Finally, for The Vampire Diaries season 4 in general, Trevino revealed, "Tyler is going to end up going through a lot. There's going to be a lot of action, a lot of blood. Maybe some bullets, maybe some stakes. But at the end of the day Tyler's shirtless a good amount of the time." What else would you expect with the Originals still around, a vampire hunter coming, Elena as a vampire, and the new threat coming? It should be an exciting season for Vampire Diaries fans.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart’s Romantic Hotel Cafe Date


Rob and Kristen snuggled up together at The Hotel Cafe on July 19 to catch a performance by guitar playing pal, Bobby Long — how sweet! Find out all the details of their musical date!
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart went on a romantic date to The Hotel Cafe on Thursday July 19 in Hollywood, California!


Rob and Kristen sure do enjoy catching friends perform live! Just last month, the lovebirds attended a concert by Jenny Lewis. Back in March, the power couple attended the very same venue — watching friend Johnny Lynn perform!

This time, however, a certain public display of affection between Rob and Kristen was the entertainment of the night! After the show, Rob, 26, led Kristen, 22, to the car by her hand as they were hounded by fans!

This comes just days after Breaking Dawn co-star Jackson Rathbone dished on Rob and Kristen’s super cute relationship!

“It’s really cute. It’s endearingly awkward at moments, to be honest,” Jackson says about how the two actor are around one another, adding, “Maybe that’s just off camera…”

Jackson added, “It’s [going to] look great, it’s [going to] be great. They’re so sweet. They’re all fantastic actors.”

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you a fan of Rob and Kristen’s musical dates?

Justin Bieber as a boyfriend


Justin Bieber- who is in a relationship with Selena Gomez - thinks it is important to notice small changes his girlfriend makes to her appearance and always tries to pay her compliments.

He told Rolling Stone magazine, "I make sure to do the little things, like noticing when they get their hair done or when they change their nail colour. Also saying things all the time - like, 'You're very pretty,' 'You're gorgeous,' things like that."

In the interview, Justin's manager Scooter Braun dismissed speculation that the Boyfriend hitmaker's high-profile relationship is damaging to his career, insisting it makes him more desirable to fans as they get to hear about his romantic side.

He said, "Personally, I think that [speculation] is all a bunch of bulls**t. Yes, there's gonna be some girls that if they see him with a girlfriend, it kills the dream - but there's also gonna be girls that see him with a girlfriend, hear about the romantic things he does and want him even more."

Meanwhile, Justin and Selena were pictured making a visit to sick children on Thursday.

The couple were spotted holding hands as they left the Starship Children's Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand.

Shortly before his visit, Justin tweeted, "Do something nice for someone else today. "U know your truth...do it for the right reasons. (sic)"


Selena Gomez birthday plans


It's almost time to send birthday wishes to Selena Gomez. The former Disney star will be celebrating a big birthday on July 22, which is this Sunday. Gomez is leaving her teen years behind, she'll be celebrating her 20th birthday.

It will be a busy weekend and a big birthday for the "Love You Like a Love Song" singer not only because it is her 20th birthday, but also because her birthday is on the same day as the Teen Choice Awards. She'll be spending part of her night at the awards where she is nominated for three awards. Selena's boyfriend, Justin Bieber, is also nominated for multiple awards.

While celebrating at an award show will be fun, the singer and actress also plans to celebrate with her family.

“I’m going to dinner with my family; some of my grandparents are coming in from Texas, so it’ll just be nice family time," she said of her birthday plans.

Before she celebrates her birthday, though, she took time out to put smiles on the faces of other kids.



Miley Cyrus Jealous Of Emma Roberts


Former Disney star Miley Cyrus might be getting jealous over her fiance Liam Hemsworth once again. While he was busy filming “The Hunger Games”, rumors were hitting a fever pitch that Miley was jealous of all of the time that Liam was spending with Jennifer Lawrence. Now, it appears that she’s getting jealous all over again — but this time she’s said to be jealous of Emma Roberts!
Liam is filming “Empire” with Emma, but Miley has apparently warned her to stay away from him. An insider said, “Miley’s become super protective since she and Liam got engaged. She’s worried that while he’s off making movies with hot women, he’ll be tempted to cheat. And it didn’t help that Emma showed up on set declaring that she is single and ready to mingle.”
The source went on to say, “Miley doesn’t want Liam socializing with a loose cannon like Emma. She thinks the girl is bad news. Not only did she tell Liam it had to stop, she even confronted Emma, reminding her that Liam is off the market. Miley more or less said, ‘Hands off my man!’ Emma couldn’t care less what Miley thinks. She makes fun of Miley behind her back, saying she’s just a washed up tween star. Emma feels she has nothing to lose, so she’s pushing it as far as she can with Liam. And he’s definitely enjoying the attention.”
Do you think Miley is really jealous over Emma?


Daniel Radcliffe to star in romantic comedy


Former "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe has signed on his first romantic comedy, titled "F Word".

The 22-year-old actor will play the main lead opposite actress Zoe Kazan - who stars in 2007 comedy drama "The Savages" and Joss Whedon's latest project "In Your Eyes", reported Sun online.

"F Word" tells the story of a young pair - Wallace (Daniel) and Chantry (Zoe) - who hit it off after meeting at a party, but they are forced to keep their relationship platonic and decide to just be friends because Zoe's alter-ego has a long-term boyfriend.

"F Word" is based on the play "Toothpaste And Cigars" by TJ Dawe and Michael Rinaldi, with production set to begin mid-August in Toronto.

Elan Mastai is penning the script for the movie, with David Gross and Jesse Shapira set to produce along with Marc Stephenson and Hartley Gorenstein.

Since starring in eight Harry Potter movies, Radcliffe has taken on much darker roles, such as portraying a lawyer who uncovers a terrifying secret in "Woman In Black", and he is starring in drama project "Kill Your Darlings" next year.


The dark knight rises movie review


It’s almost too much to hope for: a summer blockbuster that’s compelling, original, well-crafted and perfectly cast. Yet that is precisely what director and co-writer Christopher Nolan has given us in The Dark Knight Rises. As someone from the minority camp who didn’t care for The Dark Knight (but did like Nolan’s reinvention of the caped crusader’s origin story in Batman Begins) I now emit a huge sigh of relief.
That’s not to say that The Dark Knight Rises is without flaws or beyond criticism. I still find Nolan’s work ponderous at times and too self-serious—not to mention long. David S. Goyer cowrote the story that Nolan then developed into a screenplay with his brother Jonathan. They enjoy exploring the darkest avenues of human nature, and audiences have responded with great enthusiasm. But the film also has grace notes and dashes of humor I found missing from The Dark Knight.

Among its prime assets are the new role of a straight-arrow cop created for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who worked with Nolan in Inception, and a much-expanded part for the peerless Michael Caine, who brings warmth and polish to his performance as the devoted butler Alfred. Anne Hathaway has fun with the flippant character who eventually becomes Catwoman. They are joined by a superior ensemble including Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Marion Cotillard, and an unrecognizable Tom Hardy as the villainous behemoth known as Bane. (I also didn’t recognize another old favorite, British actor and onetime Oscar nominee Tom Conti, as a shaggy, bearded prisoner in the latter part of the story.)


As for Christian Bale, he brings a great reserve of repressed emotion and physical command to his dual role as Bruce Wayne and Batman. The story begins eight years after the last film’s conclusion; Wayne has become a recluse, his body and spirit beaten down. That means there’s nowhere to go but up. Watching him harness his inner strength and build up his battered body gives us great rooting interest. Here is a misunderstood hero who is worthy of redemption. I wish the movie didn’t take so many storytelling detours, but I’m willing to forgive a great deal because Nolan gives us such a terrific conclusion. I’m not talking about the extended race-to-the-rescue climax so much as the resolution of the story that brings every character full-circle in the most satisfying way imaginable. For that alone, Nolan should earn the gratitude of Batman fans around the world.

Ice age 4 movie review


Okay, so your world is falling apart, your dad won’t let you live your life and hates your boyfriend. You’ll identify with teen Peaches. Yeah, so she’s a giant, ancient wooly- mammoth-elephant-like critter but families seem to have the same problems no matter what species.

Scrat is Where It’s At

If your geology class didn’t teach you about continental drift (the break-up in ancient days of giant continents into the land masses we know today), then here’s the cartoon version: Little Scrat is still chasing his beloved acorn. When it goes down a lava tube to the center of the Earth, he follows and, in a chase, manages to rotate the Earth’s core so fast that land masses start to break up on the surface! Whoops.

Family Drama

Back home, Manny the mammoth (Ray Romano) wants to keep teen daughter Peaches (Keke Palmer) away from the wrong crowd (voices include Drake and Nicki Minaj) by not letting her go anywhere. Helping her sneak away is mole pal Louis (Josh Gad) who is secretly crushin’ on her. Syd the sloth (John Leguizamo) gets saddled with his feisty Granny (Wanda Sykes) when the family dumps her on him.

The Big Crack Up

When the continents start moving and cracking up, the gang is separated. Peaches and her loving mom Ellie (Queen Latifah) are left behind with the possum brothers and others while Manny, tiger Diego (Denis Leary) and Syd and Granny are stuck on an iceberg way out at sea. Manny vows to return to his family no matter what.

Pirates Attack

Also on a ship-like iceberg are Gut, a nasty Ape captain and his crew, among them, a rabbit, a huge elephant seal and a hot white tigress (Jennifer Lopez) which whom Diego falls in love. The battle to get home includes a huge whale, scary, critter-eating sea sirens and a whole “Braveheart-style” army of prehistoric chipmunks!

Wrapping Up

This new “Ice Age” tale has more action, more characters, a musical number, romance (for Diego) and looks great in 3-D. The continental destruction is pretty amazing.  You get a story on two fronts; Manny and the iceberg castaways then Peaches and Ellie back home struggling to get to a meet-up point for a reunion with the Manny gang. There are tons of new characters which may be a little too much thrown atcha in one movie.

Loveable Scrat has a whole storyline of his own throughout the movie and I love him most, but it adds more to the visual and storyheavy load. Maybe cut back on the other story arenas and have more Scrat!

The whole movie-going experience starts out with a very charming, funny and sweet “Simpsons” cartoon featuring Maggie the baby versus a daycare bully. Maggie wins of course. Cool

Despite the overblown story, this new Ice Age movie moves along quickly and keeps its family/relationship charm along with the added action so we go 4 stars.

The Amazing Spider-man Movie review


Well every one knows what story is Spider man so I dont think a special review on the story is necessary.
But anyway, in this day and age, “adults” are also big kids who still see Spider-Man movies, and The Amazing Spider-Man faces the challenge of making both the old and new generations satisfied with a revised vision of an iconic hero. If you fall into the camp of ‘big kids who still love their Spider-Man films,’ know right from the get-go that Amazing Spider-Man covers a familiar origin story – albeit in different fashion than Sam Raimi’s game-changing film did in 2002. If you can’t get behind that idea – even in the slightest – then this movie simply is not for you.
However, for all others:

We pick up the familiar tale of Spider-Man with a re-imagined version of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), a high school geek who exists in the contemporary age of smartphones and social media, in which “the geek,” as an archetype, has become something slightly cooler and more accepted than what it used to be. Garfield’s Peter Parker – with his skateboard, contact lenses and vintage punk band tee-shirts – is definitely the epitome of modern “geek chic”; as such, the goofy nerdisms of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s 1960s Peter Parker have been replaced with deeper emotional troubles centered around Peter’s status as an orphan who never answered the question of his parents’ disappearance.

Graced with great performances from Garfield and Stone, The Amazing Spider-Man is a rare comic-book flick that is better at examining relationships than superheroism. If it doesn’t approach the current benchmark of Avengers Assemble, it still delivers a different enough, enjoyable origin story to live comfortably alongside the Raimi era. 

Yeah I said all this but I still miss Tobey Mcguire.

Bel ami Movie review



Guy de Maupassant’s Bel Ami, published in 1885, is the story of Georges Duroy (Robert Pattinson), a hustler who rises to the top of Parisian society by impressing not the most powerful men in that world, but their women. They include Madeleine (Uma Thurman), the wife of the political editor of La Vie Française, who helps Georges secure a journalist job, despite no obvious talent in that direction. A beguiling young widow, Clotilde (Christina Ricci), and the prim and proper Virginie (Kristin Scott Thomas), wife of the paper’s editor, Monsieur Rousset (Colm Meaney), also fall under his spell.

Georges eventually marries Madeleine, but when he discovers that the tycoons he knows have shut him out of a lucrative deal involving the government’s invasion of Morocco, he dumps Virginie and, to her horror, seduces her daughter (Holliday Grainger). Does this cad know no bounds?

In 1947, director/producer Albert Lewin made The Private Affairs of Bel Ami, which, although hardly a great film, is superior in every way to this new version.  George Sanders, was perfectly cast in the title role, and Angela Lansbury showed her considerable prowess as a character actress even at the age of 21, as Clotilde. It was literate and elegant, everything which the 2012 Bel Ami is not, strenuously try as it might to attain those qualities. 

Expensively produced as this is, with sumptuous costumes and settings, it just never comes alive. The chic soirees, drawing-room encounters and Toulouse-Lautrec bar scenes just lie flat there on the screen, populated by a lot of extras in fancy dress who never generate the kind of vivid human buzz apparent in the period work of directors like Visconti or Ophuls. The screenplay is long on verbiage, short on insight. All the vital political talk involving the controversial French involvement in Morocco has no resonance whatsoever, and everything subsides into a didactic dullness. 

Pattinson’s casting was a major misstep. The women in love with him would seem to offer grand histrionic opportunities for the various actresses playing them, but, from Thurman’s commandingly omniscient Madeleine to Ricci’s wronged flower to Scott Thomas’ complete and devastating degradation.

Being a Rob fan, I am saying this that none of the performers manages to make as strong an impression as the busy music score in this wan enterprise. Unfortunately, it’s not a good one.

Justin Bieber: I'm a Man Now!

Justin Bieber is Hot, Ready and Legal.


Ready for what? You tell us, Beliebers!


The 19-year old covers the latest issue of Rolling Stone (in a wife-beater) and tells the magazine that he feels a lot more mature now than he has in the past.



"I feel like I carry myself in a more manly way. I don't carry myself as a boy," the singer says.

How so? Justin cites the attention he pays to girlfriend Selena Gomez.

"I make sure to do the little things. Like noticing when they get their hair done, or when they change their nail color. Also saying things all the time - like, 'You're very pretty,' 'You're gorgeous,' things like that."

Are you taking notes, fellas? Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, dispels the notion that his client having a public romance will affect his standing with fans, saying in respond to that possibility:

"I think that's all a bunch of bullsh-t. Yes, there's gonna be some girls that if they see him with a girlfriend, it kills the dream - but there's also gonna be girls that see him with a girlfriend, hear about the romantic things he does and want him even more."

Sounds pretty accurate to us, right, female Beliebers?

America's Got Talent Results

Who Was Saved?


Coming off a mostly disappointing audition episode, which acts on America's Got Talent advanced to the next round? Results were announced last night...


Eliminations - Solo Male Variety

Rock Star Juggler Mike Price needs to change his name to "Really Good Juggler" Mike Price. When you add a unicycle, which immediately eliminates any form of "Rock Star" or sexiness. If Piers was still around, when he dropped a club, he would have been buzzed.

Cristin Sandu was an obvious elimination, though the sadist in me wished there was a Gymkana-style accident where he caught on fire.

Eliminated: Rock Star Juggler Mike Price, Cristin Sandu

Advanced: Jacob Williams

Eliminations - Color

Inspire the Fire just wasn't good when they performed. They have a sympathetic story, but sympathy could only get a group so far. Let them inspire children on a smaller level, but not as a Vegas act. All Beef Patty was okay, but didn't move. I wonder if Prince Poppycock was competing this season, would he have been more accepted now that Piers Morgan wasn't around.

Light Wire Theater was the clear and obvious frontrunner. They have at least three more weeks to create some more shapes if they haven't already been working on their designs.

Eliminated: Inspire the Fire, All Beef Patty

Advanced: Light Wire Theater

Eliminations - Dance and Song

There was an outside shot that people really wanted to see this dreaded "Turf vs. Elusive" storyline, but luckily no one really wanted to. I still thought Lindsey Norton was better than both, but we'll see next week if she will be the one solo dancer against Turf. Jake Wesley Rogers wasn't ready for the big stage, he needed a few more coffee shops and smaller venues to grow, but this had to be a great learning experience for Jake. This left a really obvious choice for the Untouchables to advance. The two week Olympic break will help this group stay fresh if they stick to a salsa/samba style.

Eliminated: Elusive, Jake Wesley Rogers

Advanced: The Untouchables

Final Eliminations

When Spencer basically said, "Ouchies, my elbow!" you knew that no one was going to vote for him. This left us with two very interesting choices. I didn't prefer Wordspit not because of their original song, but because of the chaos that ensued during the performance. It was a lot of noise and that comes from someone that likes Skrillex. All Wheel Sports did miles better than their direct competition, American BMX Stunt Team, both because they seem to have a more youthful approach, but also a more creative way of using the stage. Howard seemed to continue to champion his band flag, but Howie and Sharon weren't having it.

Eliminated: Spencer Horseman

Wordspit and the Illest!'s Vote: Howard
All Wheel Sports' Vote: Howie, Sharon

Tom Cruise: Blindsided, Not Bitter, Over Katie Holmes Divorce

Simply put, Tom Cruise did not see this coming. Not one bit.


Despite various bloggers and media outlets claiming the actor and Katie Holmes agreed to some kind of five-year marriage contract, the latest issue of People quotes a source who swears Cruise was taken aback by his wife's divorce filing.

What did I not see? Cruise wondered on June 28 when news broke, this insider tells the magazine.



The most difficult part for Cruise was not seeing his daughter for nearly a month - they finally reunited in New York City yesterday - but he was off filimg a sci-fi movie called Oblivion.

"He's wanted to see her as fast as possible since this started," said the source. "He couldn't shut down production, cost people their jobs. People count on him."

Why did Tom and Katie agree to such a quick settlement? Look no further than the toddler in his arms above.

"Tom tried his best to do what's right for Suri," according to his lawyer Bert Fields, who adds that the star is "sad" but not "bitter" about the situation.

For more on this story, pick up the issue of People that goes on sale Friday.

Morgan Freeman Donates $1 Million

Morgan Freeman Donates $1 Million Toward Obama's Re-Election


The Oscar winner becomes the latest Hollywood A-lister -- behind the likes of Jeffrey Katzenberg and Bill Maher -- to give big money to the leading Democratic super PAC.


Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman has donated $1 million to Priorities USA Action, a Democratic super PAC working to assist President Obama’s re-election campaign, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

PHOTOS: Young Hollywood's Secret Breakfast with Obama

Freeman’s donation comes hard on the heels of a fervent appeal by Obama to deep-pocketed Democrats, who thus far have shown much less enthusiasm for the independently run super PACs than have wealthy Republicans and corporate donors, who flooded the GOP committees with cash that can be expended in ways that will aid their candidates.

The actor now joins a small group of entertainment industry figures who have thrown their financial muscle behind the leading Democratic super PAC. Earlier in this election cycle, DreamWorks Animation chief Jeffrey Katzenberg donated $2 million to Priorities USA Action, and -- not long afterward -- HBO talk show host and comedian Bill Maher contributed $1 million.

PHOTOS: 20 Biggest Political Players in Hollywood


J.J. Abrams and Katie McGrath have each given $50,000, while Steven Spielberg and Chelsea Handler both kicked in $100,000.

Freeman’s donation could well be the first in a series of large-scale super PAC contributions by entertainment industry figures -- at least, that’s what the president and his supporters are hoping.

In a statement released to THR, Freeman credited Obama for doing "a remarkable job in terrible circumstances."

PHOTOS: Actors Who've Played Politicians


"He has ended combat operations in Iraq, put in place sensible reforms of Wall Street, saved the auto industry and protected the health care of every American with a pre-existing condition," Freeman said. "He has recognized the full equality of all our brothers and sisters and placed impressive, accomplished women on the Supreme Court. In return for this he is being targeted by hundreds of millions of dollars in special interest money. I for one am proud to lend my voice -- and support -- to those who defend him.

"Priorities USA Action is doing a great job of protecting the values I believe in. I am happy to help them, and I hope others will do so as well."

The young couple arrived to the Philadelphia International Airport walking hand-in-hand with their dog Ziggy. Miley and Liam may be a happy couple together, but there was one thing that Miley wasn’t too pleased with when they arrived. Cyrus has been very vocal about how much she hates the presence of the paparazzi lately.

“I hate paparazzi with a passion. disgusting pigs. (no offense to pigs)” she recently tweeted. She also said it was “shady and scary” that they hung out outside her house waiting for a shot.

Emma Roberts dating 'American Horror Story' star Evan Peters



Emma Roberts is dating “American Horror Story” star, Evan Peters, according to new reports today. Chord Overstreet was Emma’s last main squeeze, but that ended in May and it looks like a new romance is in bloom for the 21 year-old star.

The couple met on the movie set of “Adult World” in the spring and the 25 year-old Peters has been dating Roberts for a few months according to AZ Central.
Their romance looks like anything but an “American Horror Story” as the two were seen looking comfortable and holding hands in Santa Barbara on Saturday when they attended the wedding of Emma’s stylist. At the wedding the two were seen “holding hands and locking arms,” and looking like they were very much together instead of just friends attending a wedding together.

According to People Magazine, Emma and Evan were captured in photo's at the wedding of her stylist over the weekend that suggest they were more than just two guests sitting at the same table. It seems as if another young Hollywood romance bubbles to the surface as the two step out together for this occasion!

Other stars gracing the wedding event were Mandy Moore, Ashley Tisdale and Minka Kelly. Emma is from the famous Roberts family as her father is actor Eric Roberts and her aunt is superstar Julia Roberts.

Lady Gaga Gets Naked in Ad for 'Fame', Her First Fragrance (Poll)

The performer's perfume is black to symbolize the dark side of fame and features random notes of belladonna, jasmine, orchid, honey, saffron and apricot nectar.




Lady Gaga has tweeted the provocative new ad for her first fragrance, called "Fame."


And surprise! She's not wearing slices of meat. However, she is shockingly naked -- except for a black mask and several creepy little men climbing on her bare body, strategically arranged to cover up her naughty bits.

"i won't lie I'm a bit nervous," she wrote in a Twitter post. "its been a while since i've shared some work with you."

The ad was shot by photographer Steven Klein. During an appearance on the Australian radio program The Kyle and Jackie O Show last year, she teased that signature scent will smell "like an expensive hooker."

"[Blood and semen] is in the perfume, but it doesn't smell like it. You just get sort of the 'after' feeling of sex from the semen, and the blood is sort of primal," she explained to the hosts. "And the blood was taken from my own blood sample, so it's like a sense of having me on your skin."

Thankfully, neither ingredient is listed on the packaging for her scent, the first-ever black eau de parfum which alludes to the dark side of fame.

Apparently, black scent is tricky. And according to WWD, Gaga's Fame has a trampoline struture, not a pyramid structure. Notes rise at different and random rates. Some accords will come out if you rub it, others will rise later.

Coty says Fame will smell differently on different people, but that's true of most fragrances.


Fame has three main accords: dark, sensual and light. The dark accord was inspired by the deadly plant belladonna, and features incense. The sensual accord includes honey, saffron and apricot nectar. The light accord features crushed tiger orchid and jasmine sambac. So imagine a fruity floral focused around belladonna. Thankfully, this sounds better than blood and semen.

Fame's eau de parfum will come in three sizes. The 100-ml. which retails for $79, the 50-ml., priced at $55, and the 30-ml., costing $42. A 10-ml. rollerball version will sell for just $19, which makes it accessible to all her fans.

The egg-shaped bottle has a weighty Gieger-esque gold claw cap. Remember the recent Grammy awards when Gaga burst out of an egg? Apparently, that red carpet stunt was a clue to her bottle design concept

The Fame collection will also include three related products: black soap, $15, due out in August, black shower gel, and black body lotion, hitting stores in November.

TV commercials are also coming. Photographer Steven Klein collaborated with Gaga to create a three-minute feature film promoting the scent, which will run online in the U.S. Gaga will make personal appearances globally to publicize the scent, and she's hosting a party on Sept 13 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York to introduce the scent to the media.

Gaga's Fame will be sold in 3,000 department and specialty stores in the U.S. — including Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue and Sephora, Ulta, Sephora in J.C. Penney locations.

How much will Gaga make from her Fame? Industry sources says around $15 million in royalties in a three- to five-year contract.

Now that smells like a sweet deal.

Miley Cyrus: Pushing for a Baby Liam Hemsworth?!?

Miley Cyrus has a new hair color and a new tattoo.


But sources say the 19-year old is pushing for one more new addition to her life: A BABY!


"Miley and Liam really want to have a baby quickly," a Cyrus family source tells Us Weekly of the engaged couple.

And while the respective ages of the two involved may give most readers pause, this insider swears "both mature and ready for this," adding: "Miley is 19 going on 40."

Still... what's the rush?!? What do you think of Miley and Liam becoming parents before the former is legally old enough to drink?

Jennifer Lopez: I'd Marry Again!

She's off American Idol. But not off the marriage bandwagon.


Despite having struck out three times with husbands, Jennifer Lopez tells ABC News that she'd absolutely walk down the aisle again if the opportunity presented itself.

"For me, the biggest dream is the fairy tale," Lopez told ABC News's Amy Robach."I will never give up on that dream."


The most likely candidate to be husband number-four, of course, is J. Lo's current boyfriend, Casper Smart. The 25-year old told the same network that he's totally smitten with Lopez, but it wasn't love at first sight.

"I don't think it was for either of us," he says. "It was very natural how it happened. There was nothing before. No flirting, nothing before. Just natural. It just happened."

And what's it like to work with one's significant other?


"Sometimes I tell her something – you know, give her notes," says Smart, who is the main choreographer on Lopez's tour. "Sometimes she gives me notes. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter whose position is what because she's the boss."

Insert your obvious sexual joke here, readers.

Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes Divorce Key .........

Laura Lang: Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes Divorce Key to Digital Transformation


The Time Inc. CEO told the Fortune Brainstorm Conference in Aspen that how consumers followed the divorce points the wayforward for her struggling magazines.


TORONTO – As newly-arrived Time Inc. CEO Laura Lang searches for new business models for magazines like People and Sports Illustrated, a surprising beacon came to her recently: the break-up of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

“You really have to understand where the consumer is,” Lang said Tuesday at the Fortune Brainstorm conference in Aspen, Colo., while taking part in a panel on transforming mature business models through innovation.

Consumers of any age, she argued, look for headlines in the morning. Then as the day goes on, and computers and tablets become close at hand, consumers look to go deeper into the news. “And when you’re on your own time, and usually in the evening, you’re ready to get immersive,” Lang observed.

How does that fast-changing consumer behavior play out?


Take June 29, when Katie Holmes out of the blue filed for divorce, while husband Tom Cruise was on a movie set in Iceland. Lang said the news came on a Friday afternoon as a People scoop, and produced a surge of traffic to People.com via smartphones. “It all came in through mobile. It was immediate,” she recounted.

And during the next couple days, consumers went online for photos and additional news coverage.
“By the time the magazine came out, there had been a lot of discussion and interest built, and the content that was in the magazine expanded on the story that started Friday afternoon through mobile,” Lang argued.

The lesson for Time Inc. is adapting to where the consumers are in a fast-changing digital world, and putting the consumer in the middle of the action.

Meanwhile, Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello told the Fortune Brainstorm conference that the games maker has also transitioned to a consumer-centric organization to figure out how to make the digital curve.

“Focusing on the consumer and what they’re looking for is the best answer, and not getting too hung up on whether it’s a mobile, social or PC game,” he told the panel.

Tom Cruise Reunites with Suri in New York City

Suri Cruise suffered through a car accident last night, but that apparently was not the worst experience this six-year has been through in the last 24 hours.


For the first time since her parents split, Suri was stuck hanging out with Tom Cruise today, as photographers in New York City captured the actor carrying his daughter off into The Greenwich Hotel. See for yourself:


Insiders say Cruise has wrapped his latest film and will be spending a lot more time with Suri in the near future. He's reportedly taking her to Chelsea Piers later today for a gymnastics lesson.

A source tells TMZ that Tom picked Suri up, spending five minutes in his old apartment, but ex-wife Katie Holmes was NOT on the premises.

No word yet on if these two plan a face-to-face meeting, but a friend describes Cruise as "sad but not bitter" over the divorce.

Bungaku Shoujo Anime review


English: Book Girl
Synonyms: Literature Girl, Gekijouban Bungaku Shoujo
Type: Movie

Status: Finished Airing
Aired: May 1, 2010
Producers: Production I.G, Kadokawa Contents Gate
Genres: Mystery, Drama, Romance, School
Duration: 1 hr. 40 min.
Rating: PG-13 - Teens 13 or older


When I saw teaser preview special for Bungaku Shoujo, I was a bit tepid in my enthusiasm for this project. It looked quite lovely and it featured several of my favorite seiyuu talents, so I made a point to give this a try when it finally became available. I found this film to be mostly directionless and confusing and in the end only a very average experience. I felt like  those pills consist of sweet coat to prepare you for bad thing, bitter middle layer, where the actual medicine is located, and honeyed core to wash away the after-taste. Bungaku Shōjo has that kind of a story. 


Bungaku Shoujo or Literature Girl is about a young girl, Touka Amano who eats books. Yes she literally eats books. She can’t eat normal food apparently. Of course it would have been really nice of the story to actually tell us WHY she eats books but unfortunately we have to divine that answer for ourselves. The only answer we are given is she’s a literature girl, as if that explains everything. And thus that is the main problem with the entire movie in general, it’s called Literature Girl but it’s really not even about her. Touka is basically a side character in her own movie.


Well the real story eventually reveals itself to be about a young writer, Konoha Inoue who after winning an important literary contest a couple years before and subsequently his novel became a national sensation. But do to a personal tragedy that followed this, he has vowed to never write again. Konoha lives as an ordinary high school student since his book was published under a pseudonym and he has remained anonymous. Rather far-fetched idea really as he has seemingly managed to keep this a secret from his family as well. Of course this completely ignores the fact that it is also incredibly unlikely that a middle school student is going to have the ability to write such a novel to begin with. But I digress. 


The drama that unfolds does manage to be pretty compelling however. I did find myself engaged and interested in the story. While the major story arc is adequately resolved to many additional questions linger at the end. As mentioned before we learn really next to nothing about Touka herself. The only reason I think I understood it as much as I did was by additionally watching the preview OVA and the Memorie OVA. I would suggest anyone interested in this title to do the same to get the maximum amount of enjoyment from it. I am unclear as to whether this movie will get a follow up movie or perhaps even a TV/OVA series to further explain all of this but taking this film by itself as it currently stands, I would have to say as an adaptation it fails.


As mentioned the titular character, Touka is really left to be mostly a mystery. Personality wise I found her to be a likable character which a lot of potential if they had explored it. She felt like an odd mix-mash of Haruhi Suzumiya and Yuki Nagato. But other than being likable she really doesn’t make that much of an impression. The male lead Inoue is typical for the genre. A soft spoken, effeminate nice guy. Though I did feel he was presented very well and made for an interesting character. The struggles he has in dealing with his own personal demons I think were mostly realistic and understandable. With one exception, the rest of the supporting cast is mostly just background. The only ones who really even stood out to me at all were the ones voiced by actors I happen to like.


Above all the characters would be Miu Asakura, who is at the center of all of the stories drama. She is both the films chief antagonist and protagonist, particularly over the last half of the movie. Miu by far has the biggest impact on the film and really steals the show for herself. When you consider she’s voiced by Aya Hirano, I suppose it’s not surprising she would have the most impactful role. While Miu makes for an extremely convincing psychopath, some of the reasons behind her mental break didn’t exactly add up to what she eventually became. This being said, she is the brightest spot in the show character wise.



Artistically the film is good. The backgrounds are quite stunning and color palette is soft and pleasant. The one thing that did strike me was just how similar so many of the characters looked however. It’s almost like most of them had exactly the same face, just with different hair and eye colors. While it’s not hard to distinguish them from each other at all I just found it a bit unsettling to look at.
So, was Bungaku Shōjo good or not? In the beginning of my review I compared it with a vitamin C pill, and vitamins are nice for health, right?
