Ryan Reynolds Stalked His First Crush - The Graham Norton Show

Former Laguna Beach Star Alex M Is Pregnant

This one goes out to everyone who stuck with Laguna Beach after LC left and Kristin Cavallari took over. E! News reports that Alex Murrel and husband Kyle Mark Johnson are expecting their first child together. To refresh your memory, Alex M was involved in a love quadrangle with Jessica Smith, Jason Wahler, and LC. Murrel released the following statement: "We are so excited to know we are having a little boy! My husband thought it was going to be a girl but I always knew it was going to be boy. Now the hard part is NAMES! I have none- no one tells you how hard it actually is to name the thing! There are so many things they don't tell you when you get pregnant and having my close circle of friends around me with babies or who are also pregnant have really made this process so much easier." Their son is due July 24th.

Mike Epps Getting Divorced

TMZ reports that actor and comedian Mike Epps, 45, has filed for divorce from wife of 10 years, Mechelle. The couple have been separated since last summer. Epps is requesting joint custody of the couple's two children Maddie, 8, and Mariah, 10. It is unknown whether or not the couple have a prenup; Epps' net worth is estimated to be $6 million.

Blac Chyna Arrested For Drunk And Disorderly

So much for being a good influence on the #SockMogul! TMZ reports that former stripper and current THOT Blac Chyna, real name Angela Renée White, was arrested in Austin, Texas after getting belligerently drunk on a plane. Blac Chyna is headed to an appearance, and managed to get drunk off her ass on the flight from LAX to Austin, TX, where she was going to catch a connecting flight. 

Instead, she was escorted off the plane in handcuffs after screaming at a flight attendant, "Nasty ass bitch!" Perhaps she saw her reflection in a mirror which prompted the exclamation, and the flight attendant only thought she was talking to her. I do have to commend her on one point. She never said "Don't you know who I am?!" I'm sure she guessed correctly that the answer would have been "no" anyway. Instead, she screamed, "Y'all got no respect for me. I gotta tie my shoes. Let me tie my Yeezys." Since she is in jail, looks like she's not going to make that connecting flight. I wonder how she's going to make up for that missed club appearance?

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Presidential Candidate Seeks Women

This Presidential Candidate really wants women on their side. Famous women. To that end, their team has been calling and emailing and texting famous actresses and singers to try and gain their endorsement. It’s not going so well.

No matter how famous [Candidate] is, we’re not having much luck getting the kind of response we want. Around 90% of the contacts we make won’t even respond back, and for the the rest we just get a polite “No” from their agent or manager or publicist. They say that their client is too busy or not committed to any one candidate yet or isn’t even registered to vote. Whatever. I’ve heard every excuse you can imagine. This is not going the way we thought it would.

Rebel Wilson Talks Clothing Line

Rebel Wilson recently sat down for an interview with E! News, where she talked about the plus-size clothing line she debuted in November, and body image in Hollywood. She is quoted as follows:

"In the plus-size fashion market there wasn't really stuff out there that I saw that was kind of youthful and on trend. I didn't think I'd be able to design clothes. I thought, 'That's not in my repertoire.'"

On who she would like to dress:
"I'm trying to think. Why is Rosie O'Donnell coming into my head? That's not the right answer. I don't know. My clothes are for all the girls out there who are plus-size and just want something cute to wear for the weekend or for work."

On body image in Hollywood:
"You know what? People say, 'Don't lose weight.' You don't want to be in that weird range of are you skinny or are you fat? Because how do you class yourself then? Weirdly, a lot of people say don't. But then I guess when you're doing movies with actresses who are super skinny and whatever and you got to do a photo shoot side by side…then you notice you're twice the weight they are. But for me, it's just about being comfortable in your own skin. You never want to be like too unhealthy because that's bad. But you just want to be comfortable with who you are, whatever your size."

On working out:
"I exercise like a mofo. I do personal training like five times a week. I also love playing tennis. I'm a beast on the court. I've been playing with a lot of retirees lately and they are very competitive but same ability athletic-wise. They're really good...When we film movies like How to Be Single, we shoot like 16 hours day and you're like giving it all day every day so you really got to have that stamina."

Dakota Johnson recently sat down for an interview with Netaporter's The Edit, where she talked about growing up in the film industry. The publication quotes her as follows:

"I was around for a lot of it and I would watch them. But there were also things I could see that I didn't want to, like watch my parents have sex with other people...There was a scene where my mom got slapped in the face. I lost my mind! I couldn't deal with that at all...I understood that my family was famous. I saw the way it felt from the inside, and that put me off to ever feeling like I was capable of gawking at someone because they were famous."

Hollywood Street King Blind Item - Secretly A Mack

HINT: How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

It seems like today’s blind item is secretly a mack at heart. Know why? Because not only did he have chicks goin’ at each other for his love … homey’s said to have shared some smashing times with most of Hollywood’s usual ‘femme fatale’ suspects. Just ask Paris Hilton, Kelly Rowland, Britney Spears and Keyshia Cole! Here’s the thing … as hard as he might have tried to pull a Mr. Gordon, turns out dude didn’t have the Whit’s — talkin’ bout H-Town, we have a problem. And guess what? We’ve got the audio … ALL OF THE AUDIO, not just a few snippets!

“Jacky we got the audio of ___ _ high out of his mind admitting he pimped Whitney Houston & he never gave a flying fuck about her.”

He once channelled Joan Rivers, talkin’ bout hittin’ dat first. And, from the intel we’re gettin’ … our blind item probably wished that first time to be the last. Know why? Let’s just say that our mystery man (and onetime Mayweather shadow-person) has her to blame for puttin’ him off of stale azz, month-old, fish kakes!!!

Dig the drop:

“He’s on tape saying Kim Kardashian’s pussy was so funky in stank and phunky … like Afrika Bambaataa was in the room! That rotten nana had him thinkin’ she gave him an STD. Onetime, ____ went back for more fish kakes, hit that and … got so scared that he ran straight to his doctor to cop a blue pill to protect him from STDs.”

Be sure to check back in. Know why? We’ll be droppin’ this 100% true Hollywood story, told straight from the woodchuck’s mouth! Now, can you guess which Hollywood B-lister I’m talking ’bout? HINT: He once said, “I didn’t want to sell my soul to the devil.”

Taryn Manning Fighting With Makeup Artist Again

TMZ reports that Taryn Manning's "makeup artist" Holly Hartman filed a restraining order against the actress after a series of fights. In one fight in November, Manning allegedly headbutted Hartman in the face, snapped her with a wet towel, sprayed Windex in Hartman's mouth and eyes, and got her in a headlock. Then Manning allegedly went on to say, "Pick a knife. I'm wearing a white shirt there will be a lot of blood. You will be famous for killing Taryn Manning." I don't know about you, but I don't have these kind of problems with my makeup artist. Contouring isn't supposed to get that serious. Anyway, Hartman's request for a restraining order was denied, since she filed in LA and all of the fights took place in New York. The last time Taryn was arrested for attacking Holly was back in 2012, and the charges were dropped. Maybe it's time to find a new "makeup artist," or stop referring to this person as your makeup artist. Just saying.

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Worse Than the Boyfriend

This actor from a famous family is worried about the celebrity his daughter is dating.

Allow us to give Dad some advice.

Dad, you’re focusing on the wrong person. The Boyfriend is a jerk, but, for the most part, a harmless jerk. The worst that will happen with him is that she’ll wind up with a broken heart or wind up pregnant.

What’s worse than that? Winding up dead!

Dad should pay attention to one of Daughter and Boyfriend’s friends… who is one of the biggest drug dealers in the celebrity world! In the past year alone we know of at least three celebrities who have been hospitalized or forced into rehab after hanging out with Dealer.

Dad, we hear that your Daughter has been hanging out with Dealer. A LOT. Even without Boyfriend around. Yes, it means exactly what you think it means. It’s a tragedy waiting to happen. And that is where you should be focusing your efforts.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler Reveals Reason Why She Kept MS A Secret For So Long

Jamie-Lynn Sigler recently appeared on The Today Show with Matt Lauer to talk about her MS Diagnosis, which she recently revealed to People magazine. In the interview, Sigler talks about why she kept her diagnosis a secret for so long:

"I lived with this secret that caused me to have so many feelings of shame and guilt and fear for so many years, so I think to finally sort of feel like I'm claiming my power back and being confident with the person that I am, I feel a great weight off my shoulders...I know [an industry professional was] looking out for me at the time but they said, 'I'm going to pretend you didn't tell me that, and I don't think you should every tell anyone that you have this disease, because people will limit you, people will judge you, and they won't hire you.' And I took that advice. I was 20 years old, I was scared and I thought that was the best thing. I was afraid, but I'm not anymore."

Tyra released the following statement to People: "We are so excited for our new baby boy bundle of joy. The journey to now has not been an easy process, as I've shared before. But there was a beautiful bright light at the end of the tunnel for me and his father Erik. As I gaze into the beautiful eyes of my son, I think about all the people who struggle with fertility or carrying a child and continue to pray for them every day. My hopes and dreams are filled with well wishes that they get to feel what my little treasure, York Banks Asla, feels like in my arms.”

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Ego One and Ego Two

Two women with killer egos on the same show? The horror!

[Ego One] usually starts out the day normal, but girl’s got issues. She thinks that because she’s related to someone famous, it makes her just as famous. I don’t know what’s going on in her trailer, but by the end of the day, she’s unbearable, snapping at everyone because we can’t read her mind. She can get scary.

[Ego Two] is not used to playing second banana, and she gets pissy when [Ego One] gets more attention, so she is always finding an excuse to spend “private” time with the producers. She makes sure that everyone on set knows that she spends time with them and is the producers’ special little pet. We just roll our eyes.

Here’s a bit of a shock: Our two Egos actually get along with each other, and both will be coming back for another season! Birds of a feather?

Ryan Reynolds Talks Losing His Father

Ahead of his starring turn as Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds sat down for an interview with Men's Health Magazine where he talked about losing his father in October. The magazine quotes him as follows:

"I understand the idea of filtering pain through a prism of comedy. I think this character does that quite well. He obviously takes it too far. He wakes up in the morning exclusively to annoy everyone around him. But for your average civilian like me, I think there's something really relatable about that idea, that there's something to be learned by taking life a little less seriously. [Portraying Deadpool] is something I needed to do. Because I really identified with this character...Laughing can serve you in those dark moments. and even help you crawl your way back out."

"In my dad's dying moments, we were making him laugh. We were all in there together, me and my brothers, just joking with him. And of course we end up busting each other's chops. I recommended that the doctor raise Dad's dose of Dilaudid in order to make my other brother more tolerable...It wasn't a bad way to go. If I could have the same death as my father, I would do it right now."

Tony Goldwyn Pens Feminism Essay

Actor Tony Goldwyn recently wrote an essay for More Magazine about feminism. The essay is excerpted below:

"As I entered adulthood, I had an image of what I’d want marriage to be like if I ever managed to find a woman with whom to share my life. The picture was of two train cars on parallel tracks, heading effort-lessly in the same direction. If at any point the tracks diverged, or one car gave up its course and tried to merge with the other, the relationship would derail. This required a partner who valued her independence and goals as much as I do mine.

The image is a simplistic one, but I still like it. And after 28 years of marriage to Jane, it still defines our relationship. This synchronicity has not been without tension, but that has turned out to be the great gift of our complex, careening and undeniably loving journey. I’m not referring to the petty disagreements of daily life, although we certainly have those. I’m talking about the tension inherent in the power struggle between a man and a woman. That tidal force that shifts and modulates as lives progress, sometimes in a gentle flow, other times with a disorienting, seismic impact.

Equality, of course, doesn’t come cheap. It must be fought for. It must be provided for. It is easy to pay lip service to the women in your life while still claiming the perks of being a man in a man’s world. On the flip side, you can too easily strip yourself of the positive qualities of virility—the willingness to shoulder responsibility, to fight for what you believe in and for those you love. It is a delicate dance, the steps of which I’ve learned over many years from three generations of extraordinary women.

...The theater was in Mom's blood. She did some prestigious shows … but she eventually gave up acting. Perhaps she didn't have what it takes. But my suspicion is that she lacked the support she needed from my dad (the film producer Samuel Goldwyn Jr.) and felt that her primary duty was to be a wife and mother."

Marlon Wayans Talks 50 Shades of Black

Marlon Wayans recently sat down for an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where he talked about his upcoming parody film 50 Shades of Black. The publication quotes him as follows:

"When I had seen women on the plane reading this book and just getting so hot and bothered, I was like, what is in this?! Part of me was reading it because I wanted to learn something, because, you know, women, I always want to please you guys...If you watch Wayans comedies, we rarely do anything that's just offensive. We're equal-opportunity offenders — everybody gets it. For us, mockery is the best form of flattery, and you want the people that you're sending up to probably laugh the hardest."

Did you think about this parody upon the release of the books or the movie?
"Books. I was gonna write my first parody book — me and my producing and writing partner Rick Alvarez. When I had seen women on the plane reading this book and just getting so hot and bothered, I was like, what is in this? So part of me was reading it because I wanted to learn something, because, you know, women, I always want to please you guys. Once we saw the movie, everything clicked. Oh my god, forget the book, scrap the book, do the movie."

Will fans be offended?
"No. I actually bumped in E.L. James. We had a drink together, a couple thousands of glasses of wine. She was like, 'Would I be offended?' I said, 'You can see the movie!' She said, 'Is there anything I wouldn't like?' I said, 'Alright, there's one or two jokes you may not like, but other than that, you're gonna think it's absolutely hilarious.'
We always do things with kids' gloves. If you watch Wayans comedies, we rarely do anything that's just offensive. We're equal opportunity offenders — everybody gets it. For us, mockery is the best form of flattery, and you want the people that you're sending up to probably laugh the hardest. That's the goal, and I think we've achieved a certain amount of respect in that way that although you know it's gonna be crazy in terms of the flavor, it's always gonna be a little bit insightful and just funny."

There are sequels planned for Grey. Would you be open to Black sequels too?
"If it's successful, sure. But I don't know, I guess I'm not as much [equipped] inside with confidence as George Lucas, where I go, "I'm gonna do three of them!" I just go one at a time, and if they love it and I have ideas for the second one and a third one. But I just want to make sure this one is successful, and you can't do a sequel to a movie that bombs. Who wants to do a Howard the Duck 2? I just do the best I can and see what happens.
Honestly, I want to take a break from parody. I just want to go do some comedies: go write a buddy action comedy, or write up my own Beverly Hills Cop, or write a romantic comedy or a family comedy. I want to start working different layers, all under the umbrella of comedy, but I want to start showcasing more of what I can do overall. It's a good transition."

News reports that idiot rapper B.o.B got into a twitter war with Astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson over whether or not the earth is round. After B.o.B tweeted that the Earth is totes flat, Dr. Neil tweeted the following:

"Earth's curve indeed blocks 150 (not 170) ft of Manhattan. But most buildings in midtown are waaay taller than that. Polaris is gone by 1.5 deg S. Latitude. You've never been south of Earth's Equator, or if so, you've never looked up. Flat Earth is a problem only when people in charge think that way. No law stops you from regressively basking in it. Duude—to be clear: Being five centuries regressed in your reasoning doesn't mean we all can't still like your music."

Former stripper Blac Chyna, real name Angela Renée White, recently posted an Instagram picture of a beefy tattooed arm cuddling her as she demurely looked down. TMZ did some investigating, and concluded that the beefy tattooed arm in question belongs to none other than #SockMogul Rob Kardashian.

Why is this newsworthy? Well, Blac Chyna used to be BFFs with Kim Kardashian, because they were neighbors and had a kid within a year of each other. Then the two stopped hanging out, probably around the time that Blac Chyna's engagement to baby daddy Tyga ended, and Tyga started dating Kim Kardashian's sister Kylie Jenner. Sources tell TMZ that his family members are worried that Blac Chyna is taking advantage of Rob's current vulnerable state (he was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, not to mention that his sole source of income is being a #SockMogul), and she is just trying to stir up shit with the Kardashians. And in case you are unfamiliar with the work of Blac Chyna...

TV Line Blind Item - Which Drama Is Plotting An Actor's Improbable, Surprise Return?

Apparently you can go home again.

TVLine has learned that a long-running TV drama is working with a former cast member to pull off a most surprising encore — no small feat given how the character in question was originally written off the show.

Truth be told, the series and star already have their most difficult, covert work behind them, seeing as the fan favorite filmed his/her scenes just last week, successfully undetected, thanks to top-secret levels of planning.

Although a cynical few might have thought such a homecoming would never happen, the truth is that the returning star quite enthusiastically went to great lengths to disguise his/her identity while en route to the set, where the hush-hush scenes were filmed under close guard, and strictly indoors.

As for the on-screen ramifications of the long-gone character’s reappearance, one should expect more than a little drama. His/her timing… could be better, yeah.

Ian McKellan Talks Diversity

Actor Ian McKellan recently spoke to a couple of publications about the criticism facing the Academy Awards over their lack of diversity. Page Six reprints his remarks as follows:


“As a representative of the industry they’re in, it’s receiving complaints which I fully sympathize with. It’s not only black people who’ve been disregarded by the film industry, it used to be women, it’s certainly gay people to this day. And these are all legitimate complaints and the Oscars are the focus of those complaints, of course...No openly gay man has ever won the Oscar; I wonder if that is prejudice or chance."

On Tom Hanks, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Sean Penn winning best actor Oscars for playing gay men:
“How clever, how clever. What about giving me one for playing a straight man?” he asked.

McKellan has been nominated twice for Academy Awards; on writing a speech in case he won:

“My speech has been in two jackets … ‘I’m proud to be the first openly gay man to win the Oscar.’ I’ve had to put it back in my pocket twice.”
