Ashton Kutcher Is A Dad On The Move


On Friday, Ashton Kutcher did well to keep his end of the bargain as the new dad went to pick up food from popular sushi spot Sugarfish for his wife Mila Kunis while sporting a colorful scarf and a baseball cap which fittingly had a "W" on it.

The Two And A Half Men star has been hands on since the birth of his daughter Wyatt Isabelle back on October 1, helping run errands and the like while Mila tends to their newborn. Apparently the two have barely left their little girl's sight since her arrival and word is he loves to hold her every chance he gets.

Charlie Sheen And Porn Star Fiancee Brett Rossi Split Weeks Before Wedding


Charlie Sheen is single and on the prowl again -- Hollywood hookers, you've been warned!

Much to our great dismay, the tiger's blood drinker and all-around dandy boy has split with his porn star fiancée Brett Rossi, whose real name is Scottine Ross, just weeks before their November wedding. How can we all go on when true love like this is no more?!

Sheen told E! news, "Scotty and I had a great year together as we traveled the world and crossed a lot of things off our bucket list. She's a terrific gal—but we've mutually decided to go our separate ways and not spend the rest of our lives together."

The former Two and a Half Men star doesn't seem to broken up, but added, "I've decided that my children deserve my focus more than a relationship does right now. I still have a tremendous fondness for Scotty and I wish her all the best."

The couple, who went public last November, got engaged during a Valentine's Day trip in Hawaii.

Bruce Jenner Dating Kris' Best Friend Ronda Kamihira


Bruce Jenner is dating estranged wife Kris' longtime pal Ronda Kamihira, People reports. "Kris is devastated. This was her former assistant and best friend of 20 years," a source dished the mag. "Kendall and Kylie grew up with her two kids and have been their best friends," the source added.

The new couple was first spotted together at an Elton John concert in L.A. earlier this month, leading to the speculation that the former Olympian had finally moved on. The Kardashian family matriarch is apparently "shocked" and isn't handling the betrayal particularly well. "She's so sad and completely heartbroken," the source revealed.

Mario Lopez Had A One-Night Stand With Britney Spears


Mario Lopez revealed in his memoir Just Between Us that he had a one-night stand with an unnamed "mega pop star", and now Us Weekly is reporting that the lady in question was none other than Miss Britney Spears!

"I'm trying not to give too much away without giving too much away. It was maybe six or seven years ago… eight years ago?" the TV host dished to Ellen Degeneres earlier this month. The timeline of the hook up would make sense, as both celebs were single at the time. The pop princess split from Kevin Federline in 2006, and the Extra star was on a break from then-girlfriend Karina Smirnoff.

He's a married father-of-two, and we think he should have kept his mouth shut out of respect for his family.

Brad Pitt Has An Epic Breakdancing Battle With Jimmy Fallon


Brad Pitt didn't sit down for an interview on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, but he did make a very memorable appearance last night in a sketch in which both of the guys are having an all-out break dance war.

Obviously some of the back flips are a stunt guy (I mean, there's no WAY 50-year-old Brad did all that, right?), but the actor does have some pretty decent moves ... check 'em out in the clip above!

On Wednesday Brad attended the premiere of his World War II drama Fury in Washington, D.C., and he also appears on the new issue of Details, where he shares his real thoughts on being a parent to six kids.
"I’ve discovered I don’t suck at being a dad," he joked with the magazine.

So how does he pick acting gigs these days? "I choose a role solely by how it speaks to me," he said. "And I sit in a fortunate seat where I can pull the trigger on the more difficult films. I was once talked into a film for ‘career maintenance.’ I have not made that mistake since."

Joan Rivers: Death Caused By Lack of Oxygen To Brain, While Under Propofol


Joan Rivers died because she went into hypoxic arrest during her throat procedure ... cutting off oxygen to her brain -- but the medical examiner is calling it a "predictable complication."

The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner released its findings today, revealing that Joan was sedated with Propofol during the procedure.

The investigation also revealed Joan had the procedure to evaluate changes in her voice and to deal with acid reflux.

Joan suffered brain damage due to lack of oxygen.

As for the "predictable complication" ... it appears the Examiner is saying her cause of death is simply a risk associated with either anesthesia, the procedure, or both.

"In The Heart of The Sea" - Trailer FIRST LOOK


Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures, we've got the teaser trailer and poster for "In The Heart of The Sea", starring Chris Hemsworth and directed by Ron Howard.

Oscar winner Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind) directs the action adventure In the Heart of the Sea, based on Nathaniel Philbrick’s best-selling book about the dramatic true journey of the Essex.

In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story. In the Heart of the Sea reveals the encounter’s harrowing aftermath, as the ship’s surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive. Braving storms, starvation, panic and despair, the men will call into question their deepest beliefs, from the value of their lives to the morality of their trade, as their captain searches for direction on the open sea and his first mate still seeks to bring the great whale down.

Bill Murray Trains For The NYC Marathon On David Letterman


Life enthusiast Bill Murray returned to The Late Show with David Letterman last night to promote his new film, St. Vincent. But he was really there to get in some much-needed training time for the NYC Marathon. And as you'll see in the clip below, marathon training to Murray means stealing random pedestrians' pretzels, lathering his hands with Bengay, wantonly littering, and hitching rides on pedicabs.

Whether or not Bengay really does work its way down to the knees (or perhaps the knee soreness works its way up to the hands?), we do hope Murray can actually fit the Marathon into his busy schedule, assuming he's not too busy training for his upcoming Christmas special. 

Here’s Why Jay Leno Never Had Joan Rivers On "The Tonight Show"


It was a pretty big deal when Jimmy Fallon hosted Joan Rivers on The Tonight Show earlier this year. Rivers famously filled in as a guest host for Johnny Carson when he hosted the venerated late night show, and left when she got her own show on Fox. This caused a rift between Carson and Rivers, and she never appeared on The Tonight Show again.

But not only did Carson not feature her as a guest, Rivers never once appeared on the show in all the years Jay Leno hosted it. And in a new interview with Access Hollywood, Leno opened up about exactly why that happened. He explained, “I didn’t want to do it while Johnny was alive, out of respect for Johnny. I don’t think he wanted to see her on the show.”

After Carson died, however, Rivers frequently trashed Leno in public and things just became too awkward for him to try and get her on anyway.

Rivers, of course, tragically passed away earlier this year, and was honored by practically everyone in late night.

Peek Inside Mel Gibson's $30 Million Costa Rican Villa


Mel Gibson listed his Costa Rican estate, which comes with its own 500 acre private jungle, for $29.7 million last year, but nobody has made an offer on the property yet.

The Spanish Colonial-style home, comprised of three villas, is located on Playa Barrigona, which is so secluded that it's the perfect place for a celebrity to go for some undisturbed vacation time.


Prolific Hispanic Actress Elizabeth Peña Has Passed Away At Age 55

 
Elizabeth Peña has passed away at age 55. The actress, with a professional career spanning nearly 40 years, left us on the night of October 14 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She had recently wrapped work on the first season of the El Rey Network's action series, Matador, where she played the title character's mother Maritza.

Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey and raised by her Cuban immigrant parents, Peña was destined for a career in the arts. Her father, Mario, was a playwright, director, actor, and designer in their native Cuba, who opened up the Latin American Theatre Ensemble after establishing a life for he and his family in New York. As a teen, Peña began making a name for herself as a formidable young actress in the New York theatre scene. She attended, and graduated from, the High School of Performing Arts and began her professional film career in 1978 with León Ichaso's El Super.

Neil Patrick Harris To Host The 2015 Academy Awards

 
Broadway regular, TV actor and film star Neil Patrick Harris is taking his singing, dancing, triple-threat talent straight to the Academy Awards stage as next year's host. The How I Met Your Mother star is slated to helm the 87th Annual Academy Awards, to be held on Feb. 22, 2015, reports Variety.

"It is truly an honor and a thrill to be asked to host this year's Academy Awards. I grew up watching the Oscars and was always in such awe of some of the greats who hosted the show," Harris said in a statement. "To be asked to follow in the footsteps of Johnny Carson, Billy Crystal, Ellen DeGeneres, and everyone else who had the great fortune of hosting is a bucket list dream come true."

You may think that Harris has hosted the most watched awards show before -- but you'd be wrong. The Gone Girl actor has hosted the Tony Awards four times and the Emmys twice -- so the Oscars seem like a natural fit. We can't wait for a rousing song and dance number!

Lady Gaga And Her Afro Arrives At LAX


Wearing an ill-fitting dress and one ratchet weave, a braless Lady Gaga gave onlookers quite the eyeful when she arrived at LAX on Tuesday afternoon! We'd ask what the hell she was thinking when she opted for this odd Grecian ensemble -- but we never know what the "Applause" singer is thinking -- so we won't even bother.

We have to say, Mother Monster looked pretty bored when she arrived at the airport, and we can't blame her -- we're bored of the constant parade of different ensembles. Just pick one aesthetic (that fits) and stick to it -- at least for a week!

Despite the lack of success of Lady G's Artpop, the big-voiced songstress has teamed up with Tony Bennett to create an album of jazz standards, Cheek to Cheek. On Monday, the unlikely duo recently released a video of their recording session for the song "But Beautiful."

Bennett first sang the song, which was originally recorded by Bing Crosby, on his 1975 album, The Tony Bennett and Bill Evans Album. In the video below, Gaga and the 88-year-old icon play off each other while they are accompanied by a jazz band and an orchestra. Upon its release, Cheek to Cheek went straight to the top of Billboard's 200 album chart as well as the Top Jazz Albums chart.

Paris Hilton took her teacup Pomeranian Prince Hilton to Barneys New York in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, and while she looked fantastic in a short skirt and sky-high Louboutin pumps, our attention was mostly focused on her adorable pup!

Paris posted a picture of the tiny dog on Instagram and wrote, "Being such a good boy while mommy shops ... Cruising around town in my baby blue with my baby love." Last night Paris hopped on a red-eye to New York City, and the heiress and her fuzzy companion landed early this morning.

Penelope Cruz Is Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive

Esquire magazine just named 40-year-old stunner Penelope Cruz as the Sexiest Woman Alive for 2014.

Cruz, who is married to Javier Bardem and has two children, Leo, 3, and Luna, 14 months, sat down with mag and talked about how her life is no longer about drama, "I've played a lot of tricks on myself. I've made it hard for me sometimes, especially in my teens and twenties."

The Oscar winner went on, "I had an attraction to drama. Most of us have that, especially if you are an artist — you feel like you are tempted to explore the darkness. I could not be less interested now. For me, the most attractive, charming, cool, fun, interesting thing — how could I call it? A plan."

Other women who have gotten the Sexiest Woman Alive honor include Angelina Jolie, Mila Kunis, Halle Berry, and Scarlett Johansson, who topped the list twice, in 2006 and 2013.

Demi Moore Helps Daughter Tallulah Celebrate 90 Days Of Sobriety

 
Demi Moore and daughter Tallulah went for a hike at Runyon Canyon on Sunday to celebrate the 20-year-old marking 90 days of sobriety, and it seems that going through treatment not only made her happier, but it also brought her closer to her famous mom. The pair posted goofy pics with their pooch Meiko on the trails, and it appears to have been an all-around joyous occasion.

"Things are not perfect by any means but I radiate more positive energy on a daily basis then I ever thought possible. No longer allowing chemicals to infiltrate my bod was the best decision I've ever made. Here's 90 more days. Woot woot!" Rumer's sister wrote on her Instagram account.

Larry David Addresses Jennifer Lawrence's Crush On Him: ‘I Don't Think I Can Do It’


Larry David answered several burning questions during an appearance at the 15th annual New Yorker Festival on Saturday.

In a discussion with New Yorker editor David Remnick, he addressed the inspirations behind his most beloved work on “Seinfeld” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” but he also spoke to a matter of the heart.

This week, Vanity Fair released an interview with actress Jennifer Lawrence in which she said of David, “I'm in love with him, and I have been for a really long time.”

When asked about “The Hunger Games” actress’ crush on him, David responded, “Smart kid. It's a shame that I'm about 40 years older than she is.”

Box Office: 'Gone Girl' Holds Off All Newcomers With $26.8 Million


The murder mystery “Gone Girl” tightened its stranglehold on the box office, fending off a challenge from “Dracula Untold” and two other wide openers with an $26.8 million second weekend.

Directed by David Fincher and starring Ben Affleck, Fox and New Regency's R-rated “Gone Girl” is riding a wave of strong reviews, positive word of mouth and buzz around the dark themes and twists of Gillian Flynn's bestseller, from which it's adapted. The grosses were off less than 30 percent from its opening weekend, very impressive since keeping 50 percent is considered good.

Universal's “Dracula Untold,” an action-adventure reboot of the classic monster tale from the studio's vault, finished a strong second with $23.4 million. Disney's PG-rated family comedy “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” opened in third with $19.1 million.
