Dylan Farrow Pens Open Letter: Woody Allen 'Sexually Assaulted Me' at Age 7


Dylan Farrow, the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, has written a first person account published on The New York Times' website that details her allegation that she was sexually assaulted by the film director at age 7.

"When I was seven years old, Woody Allen took me by the hand and led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house. He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother’s electric train set. Then he sexually assaulted me," Farrow wrote in an open letter posted on Times columnist Nicholas Kristof's blog.

In an editors note at the top of the Times blog post, Kristof wrote that the letter was "the first time that Dylan Farrow herself has written about it in public." The renewed accusations surface as Allen's Blue Jasmine was nominated for three Academy Awards, including best original screenplay for the director.

Justin Bieber and His Pal Double Team a Stripper

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Looks like Justin Bieber likes to share when it comes to strippers' boobs -- as seen in this photo of Justin and his pal Khalil Sharieff sucking on one breast each during a recent party.

According to sources with direct knowledge ... the stripper, who came fully-loaded with giant fake breasts and a classy rainbow-colored Playboy tattoo, was hired to "perform" for Justin and his pals during a party at an L.A. recording studio.

During the festivities, Justin and Khalil decided to get a taste of the action ... at the same time ... with Justin taking a love-bite out of the right mammary for good measure.

Sources at the party say the stripper looked old enough to be Justin's mother ... maybe that explains the urge to breast-feed.

Heidi Klum covers the March issue of Women's Health, and the supermodel not only shows off her amazing midriff, but she tells the magazine how she achieves such a hot body!

    "If it's [exercising] with my kids or we're going on a hike with the dogs or jumping in the swimming pool, or we have a gigantic trampoline in the backyard... Every once in a while I go on the treadmill, but I don't love that so much. I like the outdoors a lot," she explains of her workout routine preferences.

The former Victoria's Secret stunner admits it's harder to stay in shape as you get older, too.

    "The metabolism definitely changes when you turn 40. I always thought, 'That's not going to happen to me', but it is happening to me. If I indulge more, I have to exercise more. I figured out what works for me," she confesses.

So does the German beauty ever give into her cravings?

    I'll eat everything but the pasta and bread. Do I want pasta? I do. But I choose not to eat it. [I was] out to dinner this weekend, and truffles are in season. I had to have the truffle pizza and the truffle pasta. It's not like I don't [indulge], but not all the time," she reveals.

Phil Jackson on Kobe Bryant’s Contract Extension: ‘They paid him more than I would have gone for’


The NBA-watching world was taken by surprise when news broke back in November that the Los Angeles Lakers had agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension with superstar guard Kobe Bryant. When the specific numbers on the deal came out, the most common immediate reaction was shock that the Lakers would rush to commit $48.5 million to a player who had yet to return to the court after rupturing his left Achilles tendon seven months earlier, keeping Bryant in place as the league's highest-paid player through the end of his age-37 season with no idea whether he'd be able to get anywhere near the level of play he'd managed before going down last April.

It's a big risk, a big financial commitment and, even two months after Kobe signed on the dotted line, a big topic of conversation. During an interview broadcast Thursday evening on NBA TV, analyst and ex-Bryant teammate Rick Fox asked former Lakers head coach Phil Jackson — who just keeps managing to find time for interviews, doesn't he? — if he would have signed off on signing Bryant for two more years coming off his Achilles injury were he back in the Lakers' fold.

"Yeah, I would have," Jackson answered quickly, before briefly pausing and adding: "They paid him more than I would have gone for."

Demi Lovato Flashes Huge Diamond Ring Amid Rumors She's Engaged To Wilmer Valderrama


Demi Lovato made her way through LAX last night, and the diamond sparkler on her left ring finger was hard to miss!

Although her rep has denied she's set to tie the knot, rumors of an engagement to boyfriend Wilmer Valderamma started swirling after the "Skyscraper" singer tweeted a picture of herself wearing it with the caption, "Sooooo I don't think I've ever been happier in my life than this very moment that I am fully living in..."

The former X-Factor judge didn't help calm the whispers, either, when she posted a message gushing about her actor beau, who turned 34-years-old yesterday.

"To the funniest, most inspiring, incredible man I know.. @WValderrama - thank you for helping me get through my darkest moments.. You truly are a light to this world and to my life.. Happy Birthday!!!"

Chef Anthony Bourdain Buys New York City Condo

CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

BUYER: Anthony Bourdain and Ottavia Busia
LOCATION: New York City, NY
PRICE: $3,350,000
SIZE: 2,250 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms

Chef Anthony Bourdain and his Sardinian second wife, mixed martial arts fighter Ottavia Busia Bourdain, paid $3,350,000 for a two-unit combo condo in the unfashionable but hardly inexpensive upper reaches of the Upper East Side.

Property records show Mr. and Mrs. Bourdain selected for their Big Apple residence a three (convertible to four) bedroom and three bathroom combination apartment on a very low floor of the Carnegie Hill Tower, a 32-story, post-war condo tower with scant architectural intrigue but does have over-sized bay windows that allow for panoramic views from the upper floors plus a bevy of full-service amenities that include doormen, cold storage (for grocery and flower deliveries), a resident's only gym and bike room, laundry facilities, an attached garage (for additional fees, of course), landscaped mews, and a communal roof deck.

Looks like whatever Halle Berry's taking ... it's working like a charm -- the 47-YEAR-OLD stepped out last night for the first time since giving birth to her SECOND kid ... looking like someone half her age.

Halle was at the Acapulco Film Festival in Mexico ... but her body was the real show of the evening.

Halle and fiance Olivier Martinez welcomed son Maceo in October ... which is crazy enough considering Halle's age ... but even crazier because the pregnancy had no effect on her physique.

Miley Cyrus: "I Spanked Madonna And She Liked It"

Miley Cyrus' Unplugged MTV special aired last night, and although most young pop stars would have been intimidated to perform with the one-and-only Madonna, the 21-year-old seemed at ease and even took the liberty of tapping the icon's behind!

"I SPANKED @Madonna (hard) (and she liked it)," she tweeted.

The "Wrecking Ball" singer and Queen Madge belted out some of the biggest hits from both of their various albums, and let's just say the twerking queen was starstruck by the pop icon!

"That was pretty f**king cool, you guys. It sounds super-lame, but as a pop star it's pretty cool performing with Madonna... Today was one of those days that it was really easy to get out of bed, put on a bikini and sing with Madonna," Miss Cyrus told the crowd.

Justin Bieber Tested Positive For Weed and Xanax In The Toxicology Report Related To His DUI Arrest.


Justin Bieber might not have been drunk the night of his DUI arrest in Miami on January 23, but he definitely wasn't sober, either.

In fact, the toxicology report just came back, and the singer had THC and alprazolam, which is the key ingredient in Xanax, in his system, sources have confirmed. The good news is that the Canadian crooner tested negative for other drugs like cocaine and opiates.

In the official police report, The Biebs told officers that his mom Patti Malette was the one who had supplied him with the anti-anxiety medication. JB also confessed that he had been smoking weed all night in the studio. Yeah right!

"Saved by the Bell" star Tiffani Thiessen just turned 40 last week -- and she celebrated with a trip to the Viceroy Zihuatanejo in Mexico.

The former teen star was photographed looking red hot in a one-piece, the mother-of-one proudly showing off her beach bod for a sexy photo shoot.

And she looks great!

These days, Tiffani can be seen on USA's hit show "White Collar." She also does a voice on popular kids' show "Jake and the Never Land Pirates." 

Thiessen was one of the quintessential hotties of the '90s -- and it's clear she's taken care of herself since then.

John Mayer Sells New York City Condo For $1.8 Million Profit

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

John Mayer just unloaded his New York City condo for $3.91 million after purchasing it back in 2005 for $2.17 million. That means he pocketed a cool $1.8 million on the sale!

Located in the Nolita district of the city, the abode was listed as owned by "HomeLife LLC", which just so happens to also be the name of one of John John's songs. Guess this music man really wants to shield his privacy!


This is the second real estate transaction for the Grammy winner in recent years. The Georgia native got rid of his L.A. pad in 2011, so now it looks as if his permanent residence is a ranch in Montana.

His girlfriend doesn't really seem like the farm girl type, so he better plunk down some cash on a metropolitan mansion sometime soon.

Justin Bieber Charged With Criminal Assault


Justin Bieber has been charged with CRIMINAL ASSAULT for allegedly attacking a limousine driver ... sources have confirmed.

Justin took a limo in Toronto in December and got into some sort of problem. At the time, a member of his entourage was being investigated for roughing up the driver.

But the investigation took a turn ... and Toronto cops wanted to talk to Justin but he didn't come in for an interview and they got annoyed.

Sources say Justin will be booked for assault, given a citation and released on his own recognizance.

Jack Nicholson upped the ante on duck-lip selfies by shooting his own ... of course he did it from $2500 COURTSIDE Lakers seats!

76-year-old Jack struck the tired-ass pose with a cute blonde fan last night at Staples Center.

This was probably the closest he came to smiling last night since the Kobe Bryant-less Lakers lost again to the Indiana Pacers 104-92.

Petition Puts Justin Bieber Into Obama's in-basket


As if Barack Obama didn't have enough problems to deal with already, his administration now is being asked to weigh in on the grave matter of Justin Bieber.

By mid-day Wednesday, a petition on the White House website calling for the deportation of the Canadian-born teen idol had garnered 103,000 names -- easily surpassing the threshold of 100,000 signatures required for presidential consideration.

"We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture," says the petition, created by one "J.A." in Detroit last Thursday, the day Bieber was busted in Miami Beach for impaired driving and illegal drag racing in a flashy Italian sports car.

"We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked. He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nation's youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society."

There was no immediate comment from the White House.

Daft Punk Unmasked At The Airport

The guys from Daft Punk were forced to drop their robot act -- because the TSA tends to frown on that kinda thing -- and reveal their faces at LAX yesterday.

If you spent all all night watching the Grammys wondering what was behind those shiny helmets -- you might be disappointed to see the duo ... actually looked boring in baseball caps before their flight back to France.

Kanye West SETTLES Case With Beverly Hills Beating Victim

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

The guy Kanye West beat up in the waiting room of a Beverly Hills chiropractor hit the jackpot ... scoring a settlement of MORE THAN $250,000 ... sources have confirmed.

Sources familiar with the negotiations say ... the young man who allegedly hurled racial epithets at Kim earlier this month has agreed to the civil settlement and now feels satisfied enough that he does NOT want to go forward with a criminal prosecution.

Law enforcement sources say ... the D.A. has not decided whether to charge Kanye with battery. The reality is ... there's almost no chance of that happening.  First, the D.A. now has an uncooperative victim. Second, the victim's alleged racial epithets will not sit well with the jury. And there are probably lots of Kanye fans in the jury pool.

We're told during the settlement negotiations, the victim's demand soared to the upper 6 figures, so $250K is just a fraction.

Elvis Presley's Former Palm Springs Home Hits The Market For $3.75 Million

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Last year the King 's Beverly Hills estate was purchased by Hard Rock co-founder Peter Morton for $9.8 million, but this Palm Springs abode is nothing like it, despite the "Graceland West" moniker.

The 5,000-square foot, four-bedroom Spanish-style pad has hit the market for $3.75 million, and though it's described as "one of the premier celebrity heritage homes" in the area, the listing photos speak for themselves. The Presleys bought the home in 1970, and in 2003 a man named Reno Fontana bought it from a Japanese businessman for $1.25 million, named it "Graceland West" and -- gasp! -- turned it into an event space "which he once opened to Michael Jackson fans for a memorial service for the King of Pop," according to Curbed.

Vin Diesel Posts Awkward Video of Himself Lip Syncing And Dancing To Katy Perry And Beyonce


Taking a page from the Taylor Swift School of Dance, the action star showed off his moves when he posted a sort of bizarre, sort of hilarious, all sorts of awkward 7-minute, 29-second long video on his Facebook page of himself dancing and lip syncing and to both Katy Perry's hit "Dark Horse" and Beyonce's "Drunk in Love." Who knew he was such a fan of pop divas?!

There's over seven minutes of Vin posing and moving for the camera -- which means this is pretty much the most epic selfie of all time!

Along with the dance-tastic post, Vin wrote the caption, "You know I love music ..." The only thing it looks like buff star loves more than music is videos of himself dancing to music!

Justin Bieber Moving OUT of Calabasas

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Justin Bieber has had enough of suburban life and has decided to move out of Calabasas ... sources connected with the singer confirmed.

We're told the egging incident and the Sheriff's raid on Bieber's home were the final straw. He's now openly talking about listing the house and getting out of the neighborhood.

Former NFL player Keyshawn Johnson just sold his nearby estate to Kourtney Kardashian ... although we're told he says it has nothing to do with Bieber. As you know ... Keyshawn has had multiple run-ins with Bieber and his bodyguards at The Oaks.

Also interesting ... Justin is in a bitter feud with his neighbor whose home got egged. It's the same neighbor Justin allegedly spit on and threatened to kill.

So far, no word on where Justin is thinking of moving, but it seems pretty clear ... no more suburban living.

Looks Reality TV can pull you out of bankruptcy and get you a $3 million house next to Justin Bieber -- all within 6 MONTHS. Toni Braxton is living proof.

Real estate sources tell sources, Toni -- whose reality show "Braxton Family Values" is already on its third season -- just purchased a mansion for close to $3 million in Calabasas' exclusive gated community The Oaks ... just a few houses down from Justin.

The house is 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and measures 5,323 sq. ft.

Technically, it's the smallest house in the neighborhood ... but still, not too bad for someone who was broke less than a year ago.

Jennifer Lopez covers the latest issue of Glamour UK, and inside the mag the 44-year-old singer/actress ditches her pants and shows off her amazing physique.

When asked about staying in shape, J. Lo tells the magazine:

    “Mentally, I’m always thinking about it. I’m OK looking this way, but at the same time that ambitious, determined girl inside me is like, ‘Come on, let’s be in the best shape ever and really show everybody.’ Then the other side of me thinks, ‘Let’s just relax on the beach chair.’”

Heidi Klum And Her Bodyguard/Boyfriend Martin Kristen BREAK UP


Heidi Klum and her bodyguard/boyfriend Martin Kirsten have split after about a year and a half of dating, a source close to the couple confirms to People magazine. The two parted ways a few weeks ago, and the insider added that they are "no longer working together." Looks like he lost his woman and his job.

"Martin was there for her during a challenging time in her life and it was something she will always be grateful for," the source added. "Life is about timing. He was incredibly supportive and they were there for each other, but they're moving on now. They still have a great friendship."

Jay Leno On Handing 'Tonight Show' To Jimmy Fallon: 'No Problem'


In a joint interview on "Today," Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon gushed about each other's talent. And the current "Tonight Show" host said he's ready to cede his desk to his successor, who will debut as the new host on Feb. 17.

"Of course," Leno told Matt Lauer about whether he was OK with stepping down. "No problem."
The 63-year-old comedian is nearly a quarter century older than "Late Night" host Fallon, and he acknowledged that it was time to make way. Even if NBC hadn't made the move, Leno said he would've retired "probably in another year or so."

The two are part of a mutual admiration society, with Leno even comparing Fallon to his own predecessor, the legendary Johnny Carson.

"I think he's probably the closest to Johnny of anybody else in late night," Leno said. “When I watch him do, you know, a duet with Justin Timberlake or something of that nature I go, 'Well, I can't do that. I mean, I write jokes.'"

Quentin Tarantino Sues Gawker Over Leaked Script


Quentin Tarantino isn't taking kindly to Gawker posting a link to his latest screenplay, "The Hateful Eight" -- which leaked online last week -- in fact, he just SUED the website -- accusing it of hitting him where it really hurts ... his wallet.

Tarantino's lawsuit reads, "Gawker Media has made a business of predatory journalism, violating people’s rights to make a buck ... This time they went too far."

Rather than reporting the story of the "Hateful Eight" screenplay leak, Tarantino claims Gawker went out of its way to publish the full script ... and even relished in it ... encouraging its audience to read the script illegally.

Tarantino is suing for copyright infringement.

Gawker's been down this road -- Hulk Hogan sued the site for $100 million last year for leaking part of his sex tape. And then there was the Lena Dunham book proposal leak, but Lena's the only one who cares about that.

Pharrell's Grammy Hat Has Everybody Talking


If you didn't watch the Grammys last night, you probably still saw Pharrell's insane Smokey Bear styled hat somewhere on the horizon -- and it caused a FIRESTORM on the Internet.

Obviously we didn't speak directly to Smokey Bear -- he's way too busy fighting fires -- but his rep tells us, they're ecstatic ... Pharrell's hat "is proof that Smokey is as relevant an icon today as he was 70 years ago."

Even Arby's got in on the action ... tweeting, "Hey @Pharrell, can we have our hat back?" Pharrell tweeted back, "Y'all tryna start a roast beef?"

Fun Fact: The U.S. Fire Service and The Ad Council created Smokey in 1944.

Only YOU can prevent fashion disasters.

Box Office: 'Ride Along' #1 Second Week In a Row


The Kevin Hart comedy "Ride Along" continued to speed through a typically quiet box-office frame, while the monster thriller "I, Frankenstein" couldn't be roused from the dead.

Universal's buddy cop comedy "Ride Along," co-starring Ice Cube, cruised to the top of the box office again, taking in $21.2 million in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. The film set a January debut record, with $48.6 million over the three-day holiday weekend.

Leonardo DiCaprio Reenacts Classic 'Titantic' Scene With Jonah Hill on 'SNL'


Jonah Hill kicked off his third time hosting "Saturday Night Live" by boasting about his Oscar-nominated role in "The Wolf of Wall Street" — much to the chagrin of the film's leading man, Leonardo DiCaprio.

In his monologue, Hill joked that director Martin Scorsese wasn't really sure DiCaprio could handle a part in the production, and that's when DiCaprio took the stage and gave his pal a piece of his mind.

"Jonah, I knew this was going to happen if you got nominated," DiCaprio said before warning Hill that he "should be humble," "gracious."

Hill saw the wisdom in those words and decided to turn his act around — just as soon as he and DiCaprio did that thing they used to do to make him "feel safe"; that thing the rest of us call the "I'm flying" scene from "Titanic."
