The New York Post is reporting that Mad Man star Jon Hamm and his girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt have nearly completed renovations on their Upper West Side penthouse, but it was news to us that they even owned the place!

Last June the duo quietly picked up the pad for $2,450,000, and while it isn't very big, it has two decent-sized terraces and there are gorgeous hardwood floors and 10' ceilings, so it's not too cramped. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and RealEstalker estimates the living space to be about 1,000 square feet.

Piers Morgan Ends CNN Show With Gun-Control Message

 

CNN host Piers Morgan issued one last plea for U.S. gun control as he wrapped up his show's three-year run.

Morgan devoted the prime-time show's final minutes Friday night to the issue that he said has been a "consistent and often very controversial" part of "Piers Morgan Live."

The British-born host cited gun violence statistics and expressed dismay that mass shootings including those at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, and movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, haven't led to stricter laws.

Morgan blamed politicians that he said had been bullied into "cowardly" silence by a gun lobby led by the National Rifle Association.

A message seeking comment from the NRA was left Friday night with an answering service at its headquarters.

Morgan concluded with remarks addressed to his critics.

"To those who claim my gun control campaign has been anti-American, well, the reverse is true. I'm so pro-American I want more of you to stay alive," he said, adding, "Now it's down to you."

Joan Rivers Returns to ‘Tonight Show’ After 26 Years, Kicks Comeback Off With Holocaust Joke

First, Jimmy Fallon brought the “Tonight Show” back to New York. Now, he's brought Joan Rivers back to the program, too.

Rivers was a frequent guest and, from 1983-86, the permanent substitute host for whenever Johnny Carson took a breather or vacation. Then, she accepted a job hosting her own late night show for Fox, and while it didn't stay on the air long, the move angered Carson that he banned her from returning to his program. Jay Leno continued the blacklisting when he took over the show in 1992.

With a new generation taking over the show, Rivers, now 80, was finally allowed to return. Her first appearance was technically on Fallon's opening night, but that was just as part of a celebrity-laden sketch. On Thursday, she sat in with the new host for a whole seven minute segment, and it was like she never left.

Perhaps she was saving up jokes for 26 years, or maybe just crafted a whole set in the weeks leading up to her appearance, but regardless of how she prepared, Rivers was certainly on point. There were jokes about the Holocaust — within 20 seconds of appearing! — as well as plenty of cracks about her vagina… all of which made a laughing Fallon a bit uncomfortable.

Selena Gomez Buys New Calabasas Mansion

CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Selena Gomez is the proud new owner of an anti-Bieber fortress.

Real estate sources say, the deal closed last week -- Selena threw down roughly $3 million for a 5-bedroom 7,200 sq. ft. Calabasas mansion, located minutes away from the Kardashian empire in Hidden Hills.

We're told Selena didn't have many demands while house shopping -- but she refused to budge on one thing ... the home could NOT be in The Oaks ... aka Justin Bieber's old hood.

Lucky for her, Bieber has since become a non-issue -- he moved to Atlanta earlier this month.

Bob Barker: Bomb Squad Called to TV Icon's House

A bomb squad rushed to Bob Barker's house Friday afternoon after a suspicious package was reported at the TV icon's home, sources have confirmed.

Law enforcement sources say, Bob's housekeeper noticed the package inside the front gate of his Hollywood Hills home around 1:00PM and informed Bob's business manager. We're told the business manager then reported the package to police.

According to sources, LAPD responded to the scene with a bomb squad and inspected the package.

After a quick investigation, we're told the squad determined the package just contained medication -- no explosives or other dangerous substances. The bandage on Bob's head in the photo is unrelated.

Once police determined the package was safe, they cleared the scene. No injuries, no nothing. End of story.

Zac Efron: Friends Believe He's Into Drugs, Not Sushi

Zac Efron's friends are "worried sick" about the actor ... and none of them believe Zac drove to downtown L.A. in the middle of the night to get sushi -- they say there's no doubt he's fallen off the wagon again.

Zac ended up in an area of downtown L.A. that turns dangerous late at night, with transients and drug dealers out in force. Zac told cops his car ran out of gas, his "bodyguard" got attacked and when he went to help he got socked in the face.

Cops are skeptical, and it's echoed by Zac's friends. As one friend put it, "Zac's a loner. He goes out rarely and the idea of him driving for miles to go to some sushi restaurant in downtown L.A. after midnight is preposterous."

Several of Zac's friends say the so-called bodyguard is not a bodyguard at all. We've confirmed he's a convicted drug dealer who has been spending a lot of time with Zac recently ... despite warnings from friends.

There were a number of reports Zac went to rehab twice last year to kick his cocaine habit. But sources now tell us ... Zac NEVER went to rehab. Both times he went to a friend's house outside California and received private therapy --- but that's it.

Zac has lost friends in the last few months because they became frustrated that he was slipping off the rails again.

Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum In "Jupiter Ascending" Trailer

James Franco Says He Never Slept With Lindsay Lohan

James Franco recently released a book called Moving Pictures / Moving Sculptures: The Films of James Franco, and in it he talks about several stars, including Lindsay Lohan. "I didn't write anything bad about them," he said in an interview with Los Angeles Magazine. "And Lindsay herself has told lies about me with her people-she's-slept-with list! So I feel like what I said is much less than what she's said." Glad we cleared that up!

Last March he stopped by Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show and revealed that he had turned Lindsay down when she made a pass at him, so his story seems to add up. "I don't want to brag about it. I don't know how that got out," he said at the time. "She was having issues even then, so you feel weird. Honestly, she was a friend. I've met a lot of people that are troubled and sometimes you don't want to do that."

In Touch magazine got their hands on a list allegedly penned by Lohan at the Beverly Hills Hotel in January of 2013, and other famous fellas she's allegedly fooled around with include Orlando Bloom, Ryan Phillipe, Benicio Del Toro and Ashton Kutcher.

Chris Brown: D.C. Prosecutors Are Railroading Me

Chris Brown says prosecutors in his Washington D.C. assault case screwed him over by unlawfully getting a sneak peek of witnesses ... so he wants the charges thrown out.

Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, says prosecutors had no right to take Brown's case before the grand jury.  He says in his legal docs the U.S. Attorney had already decided to reduce the charge from a felony to a misdemeanor assault. 

Geragos alleges the ONLY reason a grand jury was convened was to get a preview of how the witnesses in their case would fare under oath.  In other words, Geragos says prosecutors used the grand jury for a dry run, and that's absolutely an egregious abuse of power.

A judge has yet to rule.

'Indiana Jones' Producer Denies Bradley Cooper Reboot Rumors

 

Bradley Cooper was rumored to replace Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones in a reboot of the popular action franchise.

Producer Frank Marshall has denied Wednesday's rumors that Bradley Cooper would play the title character in an Indiana Jones reboot.

 

"Due to the ridiculous rumors that keep popping up, like agents pipe dreams, I will stop commenting on our projects until I have real news," Marshall tweeted. "I can only confirm that Katy Perry will NOT be the new Indiana Jones."

The Latino Review said Wednesday that Bradley Cooper topped a list of actors who could replace Harrison Ford in the iconic role of the swashbuckling archeology professor.

But sources have since told both the Huffington Post and /FILM that there's no truth to the story. Producers have no plans to reboot the franchise by replacing Ford.

The fourth Indiana Jones film, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, premiered in 2008, and there's long been discussions of a fifth film.

Ford, 71, told the Telegraph in 2013 that it would be "perfectly appropriate" to reprise his role in another film.

Trace Adkins' Wife Files For Divorce

Trace Adkins' wife has filed for divorce ... after nearly 17 years of marriage.

Rhonda Adkins filed the docs in Tennessee, citing "irreconcilable differences."

According to the docs, the couple was married in 1997 and separated on Monday. They have three daughters (aged 16, 12, and 9).  Rhonda wants primary residential custody as well as child support. She also wants alimony.

And this is interesting ... she wants to be named the sole beneficiary of Trace's life insurance policy.

It's unclear if the divorce is related to Trace's alcohol issues -- as we reported, the singer enrolled in rehab earlier this year after getting into a drunken fight with a Trace Adkins impersonator while on board a country music cruise.

Report: Selena Gomez Back To "Drinking And Partying" Just Two Months After Rehab

Though she was reportedly in rehab earlier this year for issues other than substance abuse, several media outlets stuck with their stories that Selena Gomez was in fact seeking treatment for alcohol and drugs. Apparently after her split from Justin Bieber, Gomez took things pretty hard, and there were claims that he was the one who introduced her to some of her alleged bad habits. Anyway, whatever you choose to believe, it sounds like the pop star's latest behavior has friends and family members concerned.

After a fight with her mom and stepdad (presumably over her recent reunion with Biebs), Selena checked in to the Sunset Tower Hotel for a week earlier this month. A source tells Touch Weekly that the former Disney star was "seen with a drink in her hand almost daily," and added, “She looked like she’d been at it for a while. Her lips were stained from the red wine she was drinking.”

Selena was also spotted at the hotel's Tower Bar and Restaurant with pals on St. Patrick’s Day, and a source tells the mag, “They didn’t order food. They just kept ordering rounds of drinks and going out to smoke cigarettes. They definitely seemed drunk.”

“Her family is begging her to get back into rehab, and to stop talking to Justin,” the snitch added. Even if she wasn't going to rehab for booze, it certainly sounds like she's imbibing quite a bit now.

Selena Gomez decided to treat her Instagram followers to a booty-ful pic of her seductively posing in the mirror today, and the "Come & Get It" singer even dropped hints about having something in the works.

"Secret project," she captioned the snapshot.

Sounds like it might be a new music video with on-again bad boy boyfriend Justin Bieber.

Khloe Kardashian PISSED At Ray J/Joan Rivers Sex Tape Bails On Joan's Show

Khloe Kardashian is steaming mad at Joan Rivers for spoofing her sister's sex tape by doing a pretty hilarious rendition with Ray J ... so she bailed on co-hosting Joan's show at the last minute.

Khloe was scheduled to shoot Wednesday for Joan's E! show "Fashion Police," but sources close to production say... Khloe bailed on Fashion Police.

It's thrown Joan's show into panic mode -- probably to the satisfaction of Khloe -- because they have to scramble for a new co-host and re-do the script.

Joan filmed a comedy sketch with Ray J for her new WE tv show "Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?" -- spoofing Ray J and Kim Kardashian's famous sex romp.

It's pretty hilarious ... but the Kardashians aren't laughing.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin Have Separated

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have separated.

Gwyneth just announced the split on her website Goop, titling it, "Conscious Uncoupling." She says "It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate."

Gwyneth says, "We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separate, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate."

That sounds more like divorce than separation.

Andrea Bocelli Marries Longtime Companion Veronica Berti

Singer Andrea Bocelli has wed longtime companion Veronica Berti.

A Monday news release says the couple married Friday at the Sanctuary of Montenero in central Italy. The couple chose the day because it is the start of spring and the second birthday of their daughter, Virginia.

Bocelli and Berti had been in a relationship for 12 years before their marriage.

The wedding was attended by a small group of friends and family, including Bocelli's sons Amos and Matteo from his previous marriage.

Berti wore a silk dress by Ermanno Scervino and Bocelli, an Italian tenor who sings both operatic and pop material, wore a blue suit by Corneliani.

Nick Cannon Wears Whiteface

Nick Cannon’s next act is already raising some eyebrows.

The African-American comedian and host of “America’s Got Talent,” 33, recorded an album in another persona. When his latest collection of songs — his first in 11 years — is released April 1, he’ll join the ranks of past alter-ego equipped stars including David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust) and Garth Brooks (Chris Gaines). 

Eyebrows, however, have been raised by Cannon’s choice of a white alter ego, one “Connor Smallnut”; a persona which requires Cannon to cover himself in whiteface make-up to slide into.

Diana Nyad and Sean Avery ELIMINATED From 'Dancing With The Stars'

SNL's Bill Hader Buys $3 Million Pacific Palisades Home

Earlier this year Bill Hader and his wife picked up this Cape Cod-style home in Pacific Palisades, and while this isn't exactly breaking celeb real estate news, it's still fun to take a tour of the Saturday Night Live alum's new home!

The 3,400-square-foot home sits on a 5,200-square-foot lot so there isn't that much of a yard, but inside everything is simple, modern and stunning. The pad his 5 bedrooms and 4.25 baths, and inside there are gorgeous hardwood floors, high ceilings and a fireplace in the family room.

Anita Baker: I'm No Longer a Wanted Woman

Anita Baker has dodged arrest in Detroit, after a judge withdrew a warrant to haul her into custody.

Anita was a no show at a court hearing over a lawsuit filed by a house painter who she hired to repair water damage to her home.  Anita says she didn't pay him the balance owed because he screwed up the job.  He sued, she was a no show in court and he got a default judgment.

There was a follow-up hearing last week, and she didn't show for that either, and that's when the judge issued the arrest warrant.

The warrant was withdrawn today ... after her lawyer went to court and insisted Anita was never served with legal docs.

The lawyer will go to court next month in an attempt to set aside the default judgment ... on grounds she was never served with the lawsuit in the first place.

Fast and Furious 7 Will Use CGI and Doubles To Fill Out Paul Walker Scenes

According to a report this weekend by the New York Daily News' Confidenti@l blog, several of the remaining scenes featuring deceased star Paul Walker will be completed using body doubles and CGI faces.

“They have hired four actors with bodies very similar to Paul’s physique and they will be used for movement and as a base,” a source told Confidenti@l. It sounds similar to what director Ridley Scott had to do when actor Oliver Reed died during production "Gladiator" in 1999. Filming on "Fast and Furious 7" is set to resume in April.

Mila Kunis Pregnant, Expecting First Child With Ashton Kutcher

Less than a month after they announced they're getting married, the former classmates of 'That 70s Show' are expecting their first baby.

Not only are Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher engaged, they’re expecting.

Kunis, 30, is pregnant, a source told E! Online on Sunday night.

The baby news for the former castmates of “That ‘70s Show” comes less than a month after they announced they’re getting married.

The 36-year-old “Two and a Half Men” star and Kunis have been dating for about two years.
It’s not clear about how far along Kunis is in the pregnancy. It will be the first child for her and Kutcher.

The lovey-dovey couple was caught smooching on kiss cam Saturday at a Clippers basketball game in Los Angeles.

“This is something they both wanted,” a source close to the couple told Us Weekly. “They are both so happy.”

Kutcher’s divorce from first wife Demi Moore was finalized last November. It was widely reported that Moore, 51, was frustrated that she and Kutcher couldn’t conceive a child.

Kimmel-Clinton Selfie Takes On Ellen's Oscar Shot

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Jimmy Kimmel is taking a shot at Ellen DeGeneres' record-breaking Oscars selfie — sort of.

Kimmel posted a group selfie to Twitter late Saturday featuring former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton and former President Bill Clinton.

"No Brad Cooper," the ABC late-night talk-show host tweeted to DeGeneres, "but 3 Clintons & a Kimmel."

The photo was taken in Tempe, AZ., where Kimmel interviewed the former first family during a panel discussion at the Clinton Global Initiative University. ("If you do run for president," Kimmel asked Hillary Clinton, "will you reuse the old Clinton campaign lawn signs?")

To this point, however, Kimmel has some work to do if he's going to catch Ellen.

Ellen's group shot — featuring Bradley Cooper and fellow actors Jennifer Lawrence, Channing Tatum, Jared Leto, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey, Lupita Nyong’o, Nyong’o's brother, Peter, and Angelina Jolie — became the most retweeted tweet of all-time, amassing more than a million retweets and briefly causing Twitter to crash the night of the Academy Awards.

Box Office: ‘Divergent’ Scores $56 Million On Opening Weekend

“Divergent,” the big-screen adaptation of Veronica Roth's best-selling, young-adult adventure novels, conquered the domestic box office with a sizzling $56 million first weekend. It marks the second-best opening of the year — behind only the $69 million of “The Lego Movie” in February — and the futuristic sci-fi tale starring Shailene Woodley and Theo James also gave Lionsgate Entertainment a successful launch for its next teen franchise.

The studio behind the “Twilight” and “The Hunger Games” series has scheduled “Insurgent,” the sequel to “Divergent,” for next March, and the third film, “Allegiant,” is set for the same slot in 2016.
