Kat Von D And Jesse James Split AGAIN!


Kat Von D and Jesse James have called it QUITS again!

"I am not in a relationship," Kat wrote on her Facebook page. "And I apologize for all the 'back and forth' if it's caused any confusion." A source also confirms the split to People magazine, and though her former fiance hasn't commented on the break up, we're guessing it's only a matter of time before he shares his side of the story.

The couple previously called off their engagement back in July, but less than a month later they decided to give it another shot. When the two got back together, Jesse said, "Sometimes you are only given one chance in life, I will never stop fighting and striving to hold on to her."

That sounds sweet and all, but now we're beginning to wonder if his wandering eye had something to do with their latest split. Kat tweeted yesterday, "As much as I dislike being wrong, I must admit this time I was. #noregrets."

You think he cheated on her like he did with ex-wife Sandra Bullock? Possibly....after all, he's a guy!

All My Children Bids FAREWELL After 41 Years

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Erica Kane – and the rest of Pine Valley – have left the building.

The final episode of ABC's All My Children aired Friday, ending the soap opera's 41-year run.

The last episode combined final elements of both Gone With the Wind (with Erica being told by Jack that he didn't give a damn) and The Sopranos, with a Jack Daniels-fueled J.R. pulling the trigger into a packed party at the Chandlers' ... though viewers didn't really know who was the target. (It seemed to be Erica.)

While such spawning career-defining characters as Susan Lucci's indelible, 12-times-married Erica Kane, the show also launched the screen careers of Kelly Ripa, Sarah Michelle Gellar (who made a guest appearance this week), Josh Duhamel, Amanda Seyfried, Melissa Leo and others.

The beloved soap often embraced farcical storylines involving baby-switching, evil twins, amnesia, and the return of characters presumed to be dead. It was also groundbreaking, particularly in its early run during the 1970s, touching upon taboo topics in it's time.

Andy Samberg Mocks Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg At Developer Conference


If Social Network star Jessie Esiennerg had turned down the coveted role of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, SNL's Andy Samberg would have been the perfect replacement!

The funny guy took over for Zuckerberg at the fourth annual Facebook f8 Developer Conference, giving the keynote address on Thursday.

"I'm going to start by focusing on key issues. First: authentic identity. And under this sweatshirt are rock solid, cut and greased abs!" Samberg teased, before going on to say Facebook put a "bullet in the back of it's [MySpace] skull… kidding, kidding… not kidding".

The actor also joked about user growth, confessing:
    "The site is growing so fast that honestly we just stopped counting you guys. We've got more people than the population of Europe, more people than in the cast of Glee, even more people that claim they came up with Facebook. Burn!"
It finally became too much for the real Zuckerberg, who appeared on stage, "Andy, what the h*** are you doing?" Before Samberg revealed, "I'm wearing a hoodie, flip flops -- classic Zuck Dog! Sometimes I want to be you Mark. I want to take your face… off."

Watch the whole thing in the video below, it's hilarious....

‘Star Wars: The Complete Saga’ Blu-Ray Breaks Worldwide Sales Records


Looks like that boycott called by hardcore fans didn’t amount to much. Nor were buyers perturbed by some very controversial changes in the 9-disc Blu-ray release of Star Wars: The Complete Saga with 40 hours of extras. Instead, the Complete Saga on Blu-ray release broke global sales records with 1 million units sold and $84 million filling cash registers.

It quickly becomes the #1 pre-order and #1 catalog title since the launch of the high-definition format. Needless to say, Lucasfilm Ltd and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment are high-fiving today’s announcement that Star Wars is the bestselling catalog Blu-ray Disc of all time, including 515,000 units sold in North America in its first week alone.

These is unprecedented for a 9-disc Blu-ray collection at a premium price!

Taylor Armstrong Blames Real Housewives For Russell's Suicide


Seems like Taylor Armstrong's ET interview was only the start in a series of sit-downs.

She spoke with Dr. Phil McGraw on Thursday for his show, and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star revealed that she blames the Bravo show for her estranged husband's August suicide. She said:
    "I can't say what he was thinking at the time. What I can say is, I believe that if it weren't for the cameras, there's a chance that I wouldn't be sitting here with you today."
Bravo hasn't commented on the interview, but in August reports were that Bravo had told the Housewives cast not to comment on the suicide. Taylor's co-stars have defended Bravo and the show in interviews.

"The X Factor" Half the Show of "Idol"


The BIG "X Factor" premiere last night fell way short of Simon Cowell's expectations -- earning just over half the ratings "American Idol" got during its premiere in January.

Simon's new show averaged an 8.7 rating, while the tenth season premiere of "Idol" pulled in a 16.4 -- and in last night's head-to-head ... "Modern Family" and "Criminal Minds" won out.

Simon has mentioned that he wanted to beat out his former show in the ratings department. But based on last night's performance, that's gonna be an uphill battle.

Back in 2002 the first ever episode of "American Idol" only scored a 6.1 in the ratings and has since had years to build a loyal audience. Then again, singing competitions were new back then.

Sources are saying Denise wants to be on TV again, but she knew that it wouldn't be in her best interest to make an appearance and ultimately said no to the offer. "Charlie would've gone crazy, and Denise knows where her bread is buttered," the insider said.

Today will air an interview with Brad Pitt on Thursday, and the star apparently yet again addresses his ex, Jennifer Aniston.

Pitt came under fire for quotes in Parade that implied that Jen was a boring wife, then backtracked. Now, he's clarifying yet again. He tells NBC's Matt Lauer:
    " ... my point was, the best thing I'd done as a father is be sure that my kids have a good mother. That's all I was, or am, trying to say. It has no reference to the past. And I think it's a shame that I can't say something nice about Angie without Jen being drug in. You know, she doesn't deserve it."
Hey Pitt...which "she" are you referring to?

Pitt continued, "I don't want them to say anything bad like that about Jen. She's a dear friend of mine."

Hey Brad....maybe try not talking about her then?

According to Tom, the car jacker was a friend of a friend -- and when the guy got arrested recently.... he told cops he lived at the address where Tom resides.

Police came knocking soon after -- ran Tom's license and discovered he had an outstanding battery warrant -- so they arrested him.

Tom says, the warrant is the result of a clerical error  -- claiming someone at the courthouse failed to log his community service hours stemming from the actor's 2009 spousal battery arrest.

"Two and a Half Men" Crushes "Dancing With the Stars"


The season opener of "Two and a Half Men" with Ashton Kutcher drew an astronomical 27.7 million viewers -- dwarfing the "Dancing With the Stars" audience by a margin of 9 million viewers!

18.6 million people is nothing to sneeze at, but in the grand scheme, "DWTS" was down 18% from last season's premiere.

By sharp contrast, "Men" nearly doubled its audience from the season opener last year, when Charlie Sheen was still on board.

So far.... ratings are not available for the Charlie Sheen roast, but the size of the audience won't be in the same universe as "Men."

"Two and a Half Men's" true test will come next week, to see if viewers will stay after seeing the novelty of Kutcher in the lead role.

Alec Baldwin Walks Out of Emmys After Fox Removes Rupert Murdoch Joke


Alec Baldwin has pulled out of tonight’s Emmy telecast after a joke about News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch was cut from a segment that he had recorded to open the broadcast.

Entertainment Weekly has confirmed the story, originally reported by Deadline. On Thursday, Baldwin had tweeted “I did a short Emmy pretape a few days ago.

Weekend Box Office: 'Lion King' Reclaims Box Office Crown


All three genuinely new releases this week combined to make less than the 3D re-release of The Lion King, reaffirming the Disney animated classic's continued popularity a whole 17 years after its initial run. Drive fared best among the other openers, though its debut was unremarkable, while Straw Dogs and I Don't Know How She Does It failed to generate any interest.

The first re-release to debut on top of the charts since Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi back in March 1997, The Lion King earned an estimated $29.3 million from 2,330 locations, which is the fifth-highest September opening ever. It also grossed over twice as much as the Toy Story/Toy Story 2 3D re-release earned in October 2009.

Now that's box office gold for the King!
