CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Keira Knightley dropped $6.2 million (3.775 million pounds) for this stunning London townhouse earlier this month, and she's managed to keep it a secret -- until now! The actress put her previous East London home up for sale this year, so it looks like this love nest is a big upgrade for Knightley and her rocker husband James Righton.

The four-story home has 2,775-square-feet of living space, with five bedrooms and three and a half baths, along with a double reception room on the raised ground floor.


The master suite is on the first floor, along with an additional bedroom and the second floor has two more bedrooms and a shared bathroom.


Taylor Swift Neighbors Pissed: You're Screwing With Our Coastline!

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Taylor Swift is screwing with the coastline in a small Rhode Island community ... and pissing off neighbors in the process ... but Taylor's people say what she's doing is perfectly legal.

Swift is building a massive perimeter wall around her castle in Westerly, Rhode Island, moving tons of coastline rocks in the process. 

One neighbor says, "It was bad enough when she moved in, but to ruin a part of the town for all of us ... this is a whole new level of hate."

Surfers in the area say... the wall under construction around Taylor's 11,000 square foot mansion is messing with the wave break in Westerly. 

And some residents are grousing ... the wall she's building is taking away public access that they have enjoyed for years.

We're getting multiple, conflicting stories from government workers and residents ... but from Taylor's point of view ... her people say government officials actually asked her to move some of the rocks that had drifted into the ocean back to her property line and that's what residents are seeing.  They also claim the wall she's building is in the same spot as the original wall that was constructed decades ago but eroded over time.

It appears the prior owners built a wall closer to the mansion, but it was destroyed  last year during Hurricane Sandy and now Taylor is building where the original wall had been.  Problem is -- the residents are used to having the beach they will no longer enjoy.

Also ... officials say Taylor obtained all necessary permits.

Robin Roberts Officially Comes Out As Gay In Facebook Post


Robin Roberts, anchor of ABC’s morning show “Good Morning America,” has come out as gay in an end-of-the-year post on her Facebook page.

Roberts’ sexuality had been known to her family, friends and co-workers for some time, but her mention of longtime girlfriend Amber Laign was her first public acknowledgement.

“I am grateful for my entire family, my long time girlfriend, Amber, and friends as we prepare to celebrate a glorious new year together,” she wrote in the post, which was a thank-you for those who had supported her following her bone marrow transplant last year.

Roberts was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and took a leave from “GMA” to undergo the transplant in October of 2012. She returned to the show in February 20, 2013.

Be the Match Registry, a nonprofit organization run by the National Marrow Donor Program, said that it experienced a huge spike in donors the day Roberts went public with her illness.

Justin Bieber: Make Up Your Mind Already


Justin Bieber is getting a little desperate for attention ... hes now trying to explain how the words "I'm retiring" are unclear.

Justin's people are now saying the singer didn't make himself clear when he tweeted he was retiring ... and that Justin is not hanging it up just yet.

Here's the problem ... this is the second time he's pulled this stunt and he knew exactly what he was doing.

It seems that Bieber is trying in an uncool way to do what Miley Cyrus has been able to pull off -- shock value with some authenticity.

'Duck Dynasty' -- Phil Robertson Suspension is Over ... Says A&E


The "Duck Dynasty" war with A&E is over -- the network just announced Phil Robertson is no longer suspended ... and filming will resume in a few months.

The network says their strong sense of integrity caused them to react quickly to Phil's GQ interview ... and after consulting with numerous advocacy groups they made a decision to bring him back.

The network adds, "As a global media content company, A&E Networks’ core values are centered around creativity, inclusion and mutual respect. We believe it is a privilege for our brands to be invited into people’s home and we operate with a strong sense of integrity and deep commitment to these principles."

The network says they plan to roll out a new PSA campaign on their network in the wake of what happened ... promoting unity, tolerance and acceptance. A&E adds, "Duck Dynasty is not a show about one man's views. It resonates with a large audience because it is a show about family… a family that America has come to love."

‘The Hobbit,’ ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ Top Christmas Box Office


Leading the Christmas Day derby, Warner Bros.’ “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” collected $9.3 million, followed closely by Paramount’s newcomer “The Wolf of Wall Street,” which grossed $9.2 million opening day.

The crowded holiday fray has no fewer than eight films bowing or expanding nationwide through Friday, including “Wolf,” as well as Fox’s “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” which landed in forth place on Wednesday, grossing $7.8 million (behind “Anchorman 2,” with $8.1 million).
Also bowing midweek were Universal’s “47 Ronin” and Warner’s “Grudge Match,” which made $7 million and $4 million, respectively.

Neither is a solid start, especially for the former film, which looks to be a big financial flop given its lofty $175 million-plus budget. That said, “Ronin” received a better-than-expected ‘B+’ CinemaScore rating. Pic’s international prospects are troubling also considering it failed to catch on in Japan, where the samurai tentpole is set; it’s made $10 million overseas so far.

Report: Dean McDermott Cheats On Tori Spelling With 28-Year-Old


While some may have enjoyed holiday festivities with their loved ones this Christmas, we doubt Tori Spelling and her husband of seven years Dean McDermott had such a merry day. Reports have surfaced that Dean cheated on the mother of his four children with a Canadian woman earlier this month.

While promoting his new show Chopped Canada in Toronto on Dec. 6, the 47-year-old invited a woman whom he had met that day, 28-year-old Emily Goodhand, up to his hotel room at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel and the two had sex, Goodhand told Us Weekly.

"He told me he and Tori had a sexless marriage," said Goodhand, who also said she stayed with him the following night. "I believed him."

Well Miss Goodhand -- they do have four children together -- so clearly that's not entirely true.

Reps for McDermott and Spelling had no comment about the infidelity claims.

Spelling, 40, and McDermott, 47, were married in 2006 and have four children, Liam, 6, Stella, 5, Hattie, 2, and Finn, 16 months.

Jesse Jackson Phil Robertson Is Worse Than Rosa Parks' Bus Driver


Phil Robertson's homophobic comments to GQ were MORE OFFENSIVE than the words uttered by bus driver who tried to force Rosa Parks to sit on the back of his bus in 1955 ... so says civil rights leader Jesse Jackson.

Jackson came out firing against the "Duck Dynasty" star this week ... explaining, "These statements uttered by Robertson are more offensive than the bus driver in Montgomery, Alabama, more than 59 years ago."

"At least the bus driver, who ordered Rosa Parks to surrender her seat to a white person, was following state law. Robertson’s statements were uttered freely and openly without cover of the law, within a context of what he seemed to believe was 'white privilege.'"

Jackson is demanding a meeting with A&E and Cracker Barrel execs ... and even issued a Friday deadline ... urging the network to uphold Robertson’s suspension from the reality show.

Unclear if the network plans to honor Jackson's demand.

Leonardo DiCaprio Takes Acting Lesson From YouTube Video


Actor Leonardo DiCaprio took inspiration from a YouTube video to make his act look more convincing in his latest offering "The Wolf of Wall Street".

For a particular scene, when DiCaprio's character Jordan Belfort indulges in drugs overdose, he loses senses to walk and is required to crawl up to his car by himself.

To make the scene dramatic and funny, the "Titanic" star took inspiration from a YouTube video titled "The World's Drunkest Man". DiCaprio aped the man in the video to get near perfection for the scene, said a statement.

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Earlier this week, Khloe Kardashian and rumored boyfriend Matt Kemp hit the gym in Beverly Hills, and while they left separately, they were definitely there sweating it out at the same time!

Matt later headed to a medical center nearby, and it's being reported that the MLB star will be joining Khloe and the rest of her family later tonight for a big bash at casa de Kardashian. Kemp, along with 200 other guests will be at the party, according to Radar.

“Don’t expect Khloe and Matt to be huddled in a corner off by themselves as they know people are talking about them dating….at this point, they are taking things very slow," a source for the website dished. "Khloe is still extremely sad about the end of her marriage to Lamar Odom, but she had moved on several months ago.”

I mean, he DID Instagram a photo of the Kardashian family's Christmas tree the other day, but until we see a pic of Khloe kissing him, we're not sure that we believe they're an item.

He added, "The media talks a lot about me. They make a up a lot of lies and want me to fail but I'm never leaving you, being a belieber is a lifestyle."

Zac Efron has taken a page out of Alec Baldwin's playbook -- when something bad happens, turn it into a joke and people will laugh.

As TMZ previously reported ... Zac claims he slipped in a puddle of water at his Hollywood Hills home. His jaw broke and he gashed his face.

ATTENTION RESIDENTS OF BEVERLY HILLS -- THERE IS A SWAN RUNNING LOOSE IN YOUR COMMUNITY ... and Lisa Vanderpump really, really wants it back!

The "Real Housewives" star just took to Twitter to put out an APB on a baby bird that  just went missing from her Beverly Hills mansion.

"I know it's what some people may call 'a high class problem' however,1 of my baby swans took off yesterday."

"If anyone in BH sees errant swan Please bring him back! He is only a few months old didn't think he could fly yet Bring him back ..!!"

She included a picture of her swans -- though it's unclear which one is MIA ... since they're frickin' swans and they look exactly the same.

It's not the first time Lisa's had to deal with a missing luxury item -- back in 2010, her Bentley was stolen from her driveway ... but Lisa was more concerned about the contents in the back.

"They can have the frickin' car, but can I have my dry cleaning in the trunk, please?"

The car was eventually recovered at the bottom of a cliff ... right near a car that had been stolen from Charlie Sheen's home.

As for the swan, maybe he's just a-swimming ... it is Christmas Eve after all.

Charlie Sheen Reportedly Sends Nasty Texts To Denise Richards After She Bans Him From Seeing Their Kids


Looks like things are going to be far from merry this Christmas for Charlie Sheen and his family, as the actor is still embroiled in a bitter feud with ex-wife Denise Richards. Not only has he tweeted nasty stuff about her, but he's reportedly sent her a string of hateful texts after she banned him from seeing their daughters over the holidays.

Sheen tweeted last night, "I came up with a PERFECT holiday idea! Denise and Phil Robertson should get married! then he can practice the Bestiality he hates! c :)" Um, yikes!

And if you thought that was bad, get a load of the texts he allegedly sent her. In a series of messages obtained by TMZ, Sheen told Richards, "lemme see if I got this straight; you won't even spring the girls for 30 mins, from the 10 mil house I gave you, (100 yds away) to come down and open the gifts their dad bought them before they leave??"

"I hope your stocking is bronze-age coal stuffed along with an assortment of 8x10's of yours so you can see how despicable and heartlessly ugly you and your fermented soul continue to be," he continued. "hash tag. hag shag." Mean Sheen!

The Anger Management actor also claims that Richards had the "audacity" to ask him to borrow his private jet for a vacation. "This is the worst Xmas I've ever had," he concluded.

The two movies were virtually tied after Friday, but a Saturday surge by Bilbo Baggins and the rest of Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth mob made the difference.

Charlie Sheen to Phil Robertson: Apologize ... Or Face a 'Masheen Style Media Beatdown'


Charlie Sheen just WENT OFF on "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson -- threatening to unleash a monstrous media attack on the reality star ... unless he makes amends with gay people.

Sheen posted the long diatribe on Twitter ... and quickly put Phil on notice saying, "just when your desperately sub evolved ass thought the pressure was off, you are now in the cross-hairs of a MaSheen style media beat down."

Charlie claims he's only voicing his opinion out of the blue for one reason ... to stick up for all his gay friends whose voices are not as powerful.

The letter is filled with classic Sheenism's -- like calling Phil a "shower-dodger", something about Charlie whittling his "cosmic banjo" ... and even a "news flash" for old times sake.

Clint Eastwood Divorce: No Way I'm Paying Her Alimony


Clint Eastwood thinks his soon-to-be ex-wife should fend for herself ... because he's asking a judge to DENY her any spousal support.

Clint filed legal docs in the divorce case triggered by Dina Eastwood. He's trying early on to shut down her request for support. We're pretty sure the reason Clint is drawing the line is because there's a prenup that lays out their rights pretty clearly.

It seems there's a fight on another front ... custody of their 16-year-old daughter Morgan. Dina has asked for full physical custody. Clint wants joint physical custody.

Clint says their 17-year marriage crumbled more than a year and a half ago and they actually separated in June 2012.

'Duck Dynasty' Family Says ... We Won't Do the Show Without Phil


The Robertson family just drew a line in the sand with A&E -- NO PHIL, NO SHOW ... and says they are already talking to the cable channel about possibly pulling the plug on "Duck Dynasty."

The family issued a statement saying, "As a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of 'Duck Dynasty.'"

They also say they're "disappointed" that Phil Robertson was suspended by A&E just for expressing his religious beliefs ... which, they point out, is his "constitutionally protected right."

Fun fact: "Duck Dynasty" is the highest rated cable reality TV show ever.

Way to go A&E.

Selena Gomez Looking To Buy Home Next Door To Justin Bieber

Selena Gomez is reportedly eyeing homes in the same gated Calabasas community as her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber.

"Selena is very close to making an offer on a house inside the Calabasas development where Justin lives. She's looked at other neighborhood but really fell in love with a home near Justin's," a source dished to Life & Style.

Although the teenage lovebirds are no longer together, it sounds like The Biebs would have no complaints if his former lady love was close by.

"She's a great woman. I love her till this day," he admitted during a Power 106 radio interview this week.

Miss Gomez obviously doesn't pay attention to media reports, though! JB is notorious for having loud, raucous parties that carry into the wee hours of the morning, so she might want to invest in some ear plugs if she plans on staying!

Jessica Simpson gave birth to son Ace a mere six month ago, but her hot body is back and she's ready to show it off in a new Weight Watchers promo!

The weight loss spokeswoman highlighted her lean legs in a pale pink short suit for the campaign photo, and she admitted it was easier to drop the pregnancy pounds this time around.

"I'm a lot more confident this time around. With Maxwell, I didn't think about the weight I was gaining, and the first time I stepped on a scale and looked at the number - I mean, that wasn't a number I had ever even considered - I was faced with a pretty serious truth. But since I had already done Weight Watchers, I didn't put on as much weight with Ace and I just know a lot more now," she recently explained on Tumblr's MomFeeds blog.

Kim Kardashian Accused Of Waxing Infant Daughter North's Eyebrows

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Kim Kardashian shared an adorable snapshot of her baby girl Nori on Instagram yesterday, and almost immediately various followers began questioning whether the reality star had waxed her infant daughter's eyebrows!

"Is it me or do North West's eyebrow looked plucked & shaped?" one user wrote.

Some fans have also made the suggestion that the reality star used her Photoshop skills to blur out her little one's brow hair, rather than putting her baby through painful hair removal.

Kimmy K's camp is vehemently denying the claims, however! In fact, the new mom is appalled that anyone would think she would do that to her child, as she sees it as "child abuse", a source tells TooFab.

John Mayer Debuts New "Who You Love" Music Video, Starring Katy Perry


John Mayer and Katy Perry love each other so much! So much so that overly affectionate couple just released a new video of their duet, "Who You Love."

The video, directed by Sophie Muller who directed Rihanna's "Stay" and Alicia Keys' "Girl on Fire", features Mayer, 36, and Perry, 29, crooning to each other and other real-life couples riding a mechanical bull in the desert. Ya know just a typical date for anyone lucky in love.

"We set up the casting call for real couples," Mayer said following the video's Time Square debut on Tuesday morning. "There was nothing scripted in that video, except putting the bull in the middle of the desert." Oddly enough one of the members of the real-life couples is the twenty something son of Andy Dick, Lucas Dick.

Chris Brown: Judge Revokes Probation


Chris Brown is in trouble ... again. The judge in the Rihanna beating case has just REVOKED his probation because of the fresh assault charges filed in Washington D.C.

Brown was in court for a progress hearing. The judge felt the criminal complaint in D.C. is enough proof that Chris did NOT obey all laws ... which he's required to do while on probation

The judge did not remand Chris into custody, because the judge was impressed by Chris' progress in his anger management rehab. The judge will hold a hearing on the matter in February, and it's possible he could sentence Chris to time in the pokey.

The judge also ordered Chris NOT to use medical marijuana for the time being.

Box Office: 'Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug' Wins Weekend With $73.7 Million In Domestic Debut


Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" roared to a strong $73.7 million in its domestic debut to take its place atop the weekend's box-office mountain.

Second place was a bit more unexpected as Tyler Perry's "A Madea Christmas" did less business than the previous comedies starring Tyler Perry's zany elderly woman. Disney's "Frozen", now in its third week, took in $22.2 million to take the No. 2 spot for the weekend ahead of A Madea Christmas' $16.16 million debut.

'Lawrence of Arabia' Star and Hollywood Icon Peter O'Toole Dies


In one of his best and best-known roles, Peter O'Toole got a big laugh by declaring, "I'm not an actor! I'm a movie star!"

O'Toole, of course, was both.

The honorary Oscar winner passed away at age 81 after a long illness on Saturday at the Wellington Hospital in London, his agent Steve Kenis reports.

O'Toole was one of the most gifted performers of his generation, rising to fame almost with his starring role in "Lawrence of Arabia" and appearing in a variety of screen classics like, "Beckett," "The Lion in Winter," "My Favorite Year," "The Last Emperor" — and cult favorites like, "What's New Pussycat," "The Ruling Class," and "The Stunt Man."

He was also a larger-than-life personality whose hard drinking, outspoken nature, and romantic escapades were nearly as well known as his movies.

O'Toole, the actor, won international acclaim, and O'Toole, the movie star, was dependable tabloid fodder.

‘American Hustle’ Scores Big In Limited Box Office Debut

 

Oscar frontrunner “American Hustle” was spectacular in its first day at the box office on Friday. David O. Russell’s comedy-drama about New Jersey con men caught up in the 1970s Abscam corruption scandal took in $210,909 from six screens – all in New York and Los Angeles – for a very strong average of $35,151 per theater.

The Sony and Annapurna Pictures production was riding momentum from its strong showings this week at the nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Golden Globes.

Macaulay Culkin Makes Concert Debut


Macaulay Culkin's new pizza-inspired band made their concert debut last night in New York ... and the former child actor busted out a sweet kazoo solo during the 8-minute set.

Culkin's band The Pizza Underground -- who play Velvet Underground parodies with pizza-themed song titles and lyrics -- played an 8-minute set Friday night ... and fans waited around the block to get in.

Macaulay's sweet solo went down during the bands song "Take a Bite of the Wild Slice" (3:40 in the video) ... and then the group handed out pizza afterward to make up for the short gig.

Khloé Kardashian Files For Divorce From Lamar Odom


Safe to say you can remove "Khloé & Lamar" from your DVR rotation.

Khloé Kardashian, 29, today filed for divorce from her husband of four years, Lamar Odom, 34.

In the Los Angeles Superior Court petition, Kardashian cites "irreconcilable differences" for the reason behind the split. The couple has a prenup, so the division of their assets should be fairly tidy.

Friday's filing caps months of drama rife with reports of drug abuse, infidelity, and even forgiveness, and ends a marriage that once seemed too good to be true.

The two had a whirlwind romance, and shocked everyone when they tied the knot in September 2009 after just one month of dating.

Prince Harry Treks Across Antartica To The South Pole


Prince Harry is currently making a 200-mile trek across Antartica to the South Pole. How cool is that? Cameras caught the royal and some other adventurers during a bit of down time before they reach the South Pole.

The 29-year-old, who is patron of the Walking With The Wounded expedition, said:

"A half day on Friday and we get to the South Pole on Friday 13th - unlucky for some, lucky for us. … The wind has dropped down, which is nice. I think everyone is feeling a bit tired but slowly getting into the rhythm. Only just got into the rhythm now and it has almost finished."

Originally, the red-headed royal was part of a British group racing to the South Pole against other teams from England and the US, but the team decided to suspend the competitive element of the trek. However, over the weekend the competition was stopped after some of the trekkers, who include injured servicemen and women, became very tired upon coming across difficult terrain.

Ed Parker, who is the expedition's director and a co-founder of the WWTW charity, said: "Everyone is beginning to get quite excited, we can see the end in sight now.
