Bruce Willis Flips New York City Condo And Puts It On The Market For $13 Million


Bruce Willis bought this Central Park condo from U2 bassist Adam Clayton in the spring of 2013 for $8.85 million, but he's already remodeled it -- and put it back on the market for $12.995 million.

The 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is located in the famed Eldorado building, and the listing agent told Zillow, “They just spent two years renovating it; they took it back to the studs," adding that Willis and Heming wanted a bigger space after having their second child earlier this year.

Angelina Jolie Has Chickenpox, Cancels Upcoming 'Unbroken' Appearances


After getting dragged into the Sony hacking scandal and being shut out of the Golden Globes, Angelina Jolie has come down with chickenpox. The actress-director has been forced to cancel upcoming promotional appearances for her film Unbroken.

"I just wanted to be clear and honest about why I will be missing the Unbroken events in the next few days, which is I found out last night I have chickenpox,” Jolie, 39, states in a YouTube video posted by Universal Pictures. “So, I will be home, itching and missing everyone and I can’t believe it because this film means so much to me. I just can’t believe it. But such is life, there it is and send everyone my love and hope everything goes well.”

Universal also confirmed that Angelina will be withdrawing from events, including the film’s Monday premiere.

Beyonce Is All About The Dramatic Voiceovers In "Yours And Mine" Video


Beyonce is trying to make us feel sorry for her -- and it just ain't working.

Earlier today, the not-so-single lady released a new 11-minute, "retrospective short film celebrating the one-year anniversary of the self-titled visual album, Beyonce. ... Eyeroll ...

The self-aggrandizing video is chock full of super dramatic voice overs. Against a background of black and white visuals, Bey softly says, "When you are famous no one looks at you like a human any more. You become the property of the public. There's nothing real about it."

Umm -- well there's definitely something real about topping Forbes' list of the World's Highest Paid Musicians of 2014 and taking home $115 million dollars last year!

Shailene Woodley Goes Head To Head With Kate Winslet In First Official "Insurgent" Trailer


The first trailer for second film in the Divergent series, Insurgent, is finally here and it looks -- INTENSE!

In the second installment of the films based on the books by Veronica Roth, Beatrice "Tris" Prior, played by Shailene Woodley, goes against the leader of the Erudites, Jeanine, played by Kate Winslet, in dystopian Chicago. In the film, Tris must come face to face with her inner demons in order to fight against the Erudite alliance which threatens to tear society apart.

The rest of the cast includes Jai Courtney, Zoe Kravitz, Naomi Watts, Miles Teller, Maggie Q, Octavia Spencer and Suki Waterhouse.

Insurgent busts out into theaters on March 20.

Angelina Jolie's Awkward Run-In With Amy Pascal In Wake of Sony Hacking Scandal


Talk about a picture being worth a thousand words!

On the same day that the Sony Pictures hack exposed an email exchange between company co-chair Amy Pascal and movie producer Scott Rudin calling Angelina Jolie a "spoiled brat," the movie star came face to face with Pascal at a Hollywood event. Let's just say things seemed, um, frosty.

Looking more like Maleficent than a cheery mom of six, a stone-faced and stiff Jolie has her eyes locked on Pascal, who's attempting to embrace her, at the Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Power 100 breakfast on Wednesday. To describe it as awkward is an understatement.

That very day, a humiliating exchange between Pascal and Rudin — yet another part of the devastating hacking attack on Sony’s movie studio — made headlines. It stemmed from Jolie apparently objecting to David Fincher directing the movie Jobs instead of her Cleopatra project. Among other things, Rudin complained about "the insanity and rampaging spoiled ego of" Jolie and said she was "a minimally talented spoiled brat."

Dr. Dre And Beyonce Top Forbes' List Of The World's Highest-Paid Musicians Of 2014


Forbes just released their list of the world's highest-paid musicians of 2014 -- and Dr. Dre has coming in on top, and way on top. Due to the recent sale of his company, Beats, for $3 billion, the rapper/businessman came in at $620 million, $500 million more than the No. 2 musician, Beyonce, who made $115 million in 2014.

The Eagles, who did a History Of The Eagles tour, earned $100 million. Bon Jovi came in fourth with $82 million and Bruce Springsteen landed fifth with $81 million.

The artists under 30 who made the list were Justin Bieber ($80 million), One Direction ($75 million), Katy Perry ($40 million), Miley Cyrus ($36 million) and Lady Gaga ($33 million).

Looks like Taylor Swift just missed the Top 10. T-Swizz finished at No. 11 ($64 million).

Julia Roberts May Have Been Snubbed By The Golden Globes, But She Has Every Reason To Smile


Julia Roberts did not receive a Golden Globe nomination for her work in The Normal Heart, but when you look this great at 47, who cares?! And yes, we had to double check her age because we can never believe it!

The actress popped up in Malibu on Wednesday, and she joked around with photographers and flashed her megawatt smile after running a few errands. On Tuesday the first photo from Julia's Givenchy Spring 2015 ad campaign hit the web, and not only does she look amazing, but various websites report that she got paid around $1 million for the gig.

"She did it for the high-end luxury association and because it was beautiful imagery shot by Mert & Marcus [Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott], who are the biggest and best photographers," a source tells E! Online, adding that it wasn't about the money. But it's definitely an added bonus.

Wild Star Reese Witherspoon Couldn't Be Happier About Her Golden Globe Nomination

 

Just hours after she was nominated for a Golden Globe, Reese Witherspoon was smiling ear to ear while visiting her office in Beverly Hills on Thursday. The Oscar winner got the Globes nod for Best Actress in a Drama for her role in Wild -- and it looks like she kept her movie in mind while getting dressed her her wild, leopard-print coat.

The actress paired her leopard-print coat with a navy blue shift dress and navy pumps -- we are loving this look!

And while all seems to be going swimmingly this awards season, the 38-year-old recently opened up to Glamour magazine about cherishing her female pals who saved her in hard times.

Beverly Johnson Reveals Bill Cosby Drugged Her

 
Beverly Johnson revealed in a shocking new interview with Vanity Fair that Bill Cosby drugged her, but she managed to thwart any further harm, unlike many of the other women with similar accusations. The event happened in the mid-80's after the supermodel went to the actor's apartment to read for a part on The Cosby Show. The comedian insisted she drink a cappuccino from his new fancy machine, but she quickly realized his sinister motives.

"I told him I didn't drink coffee that late in the afternoon because it made getting to sleep at night more difficult. He wouldn't let it go. He insisted that his espresso machine was the best model on the market and promised I'd never tasted a cappuccino quite like this one," she told the mag.

"Now let me explain this: I was a top model during the '70s, a period when drugs flowed at parties and photo shoots like bottled water at a health spa. I'd had my fun and experimented with my fair share of mood enhancers. I knew by the second sip of the drink Cosby had given me that I'd been drugged—and drugged good," she continued. After propping herself up on Cosby, she asked him: "You are a motherf***er aren't you?"

Angelina Jolie Famed Producer Says She's a Spoiled, Untalented, Egomaniacal Brat


Angelina Jolie behaves like a petulant child, and an untalented one at that ... this according to a big Hollywood producer who's the latest Sony Leak victim.

Famed producer Scott Rudin -- whose credits include "Captain Phillips"  and "Moneyball" -- fired off an email to Sony Pictures Co-Chairman Amy Pascal, warning her NOT to listen to Jolie's objection of David Fincher directing "Jobs."

Rudin -- who is producing "Jobs" -- wrote,  "I am not destroying my career over a minimally talented, spoiled brat." But he wasn't done, describing "the insanity and rampaging spoiled ego of [Jolie]."

And there's still more. Rudin wrote, "She's a camp event and a celebrity and that's all and the last thing anybody needs is to make a giant bomb with her that any fool could see coming."

The hackers -- who call themselves Guardians of Peace -- have threatened to continue the leaks unless Sony pulls the upcoming movie, "The Interview."

Mel Gibson Is Looking Beefed Up


Mel Gibson may be a 58-year-old grandpa, but that's not stopping him from staying in shape!

Photographers snapped the actor leaving the gym in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, and we couldn't help but notice how buff he's looking. But what's with the button-down shirt as a post-workout cover up?

Mel doesn't have any movies in pre-production, but after beefing up for The Expendables 3 he seems to be all about maintaining his physique. Or maybe there's a new lady in his life? After his messy split from baby mama Oksana Grigorieva, the Aussie star was linked to Italian singer-songwriter Nadia Lanfranconi in 2012, but that fizzled within a matter of months. He was then supposedly involved with 40-year-old stunt woman Ashley Cusato, but we haven't seen them together since 2013.

Sony Hack Reveals A List Of Celebrities' Aliases


From Scott Rudin's emails calling Angelina Jolie a "minimally talented spoiled brat" to Judd Apatow, Sylvester Stallone and Rebel Wilson's social security numbers being hacked, the Sony Hack has affected most of Hollywood's biggest names -- many of which seem to switch up their famous monikers for aliases.

Radar got its hands on a list of celebrity nom de plumes that the rich and famous use to book cars, hotel rooms and live life in the fabulous lane …

-Jessica Alba uses the name “Cash Money” — an obvious ode to her husband, Cash Warren.

-Jude Law is channeling his inner Mathew with the moniker, “Mr. Perry.”

-Tobey Maguire goes down and dirty with “Neil Deep.”

-Tom Hanks is a laugh riot, checking in with the name “Harry Lauder,” a well-known Scottish Comedian, as well as, “Johnny Madrid,” a character on the ‘60s Western Lancer.

All Eyes Are On Prince William And Kate Middleton As They Visit The 9/11 Memorial


All eyes have been on Prince William and Kate Middleton during their first official visit to New York City. Earlier today, the royal couple somberly visited the "In Memoriam" exhibit at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City.

For the trip to the memorial, the duchess opted to hide her five-month baby bump in a cerise pink Mulberry coat that runs $2350. Along with the pink coat, the 32-year-old donned a pair of elegant black heels, a black dress and tights. Prim and proper -- just how we like the duchess!

The duo, who are traveling sans their wee one, Prince George, are on a three-day visit of the east coast and certainly seem to be taking in the Big Apple. Last night, William and Kate were courtside at a Brooklyn Nets game with Jay Z and Beyonce, even posing for pics with LeBron James.

Nicole Kidman Talks About Getting Engaged To Keith Urban After Only Dating For One Month


In Elle magazine's January issue, the movie star admitted that she and her husband of eight years, Keith Urban, got engaged after less than a month of dating.

Nicole Kidman explained to the mag that while it's unusual to most people, that kind of mentality works for her. The Aussie confessed, "I'm spontaneous. I jump in. I kind of like getting married and then getting to know each other; I know that it sounds incredibly strange, but to me, it's a more natural process."

Huh? Well we guess upon learning that -- we aren't surprised that Kidman and her ex Tom Cruise's marriage crumbled!

Gwyneth Paltrow Pals Around With Pharrell At The Voice Tailgate Party


Gwyneth chatted it up with Pharrell, and the show posted the above pic on Instagram and wrote, "It's @gwynethpaltrow chatting with @pharrell. NBD. 😳 *falls to floor* *gets up* *falls to floor again* #VoiceTailgate."

Gwyneth's estranged hubby Chris Martin (who, as far as we know, is still dating Jennifer Lawrence) appeared on the hit NBC show earlier this year, but as far as we can tell, he wasn't around last night. Gwen Stefani was also at the event, and while there wasn't photographic evidence that Gwyn and Gwen hung out, we have to wonder if the ladies might have exchanged a few words.

The other day Gwen chatted with Spin Magazine and revealed that she wants to work with the Coldplay frontman, so maybe Gwynnie could help make that happen? "I would love to work with Chris Martin, too. I've tried to get him to work with me for ten years, so maybe he'll do it this time," the No Doubt singer told the mag. Seeing as Chris basically just said that the next Coldplay album will be their last, it looks like it could happen!

Kate Hudson Breaks Off Engagement With Matt Bellamy


Kate Hudson has called off her engagement to fiancé Matt Bellamy.

The actress hasn't been spotted wearing her engagement ring since the LACMA gala in early November, and they have been spending almost all their time apart.

The musician did not attend Thanksigiving festivities with the blonde beauty and her family and friends, nor did he accompany her to Art Basel just last week. In fact, last night the Grammy winner was drinking and partying at the Koko club in London, while the Almost Famous star enjoyed a night on the town with pals at The Nice Guy nightclub in L.A.

The only time the pair have been in the same place in recent weeks was for Kate's mother Goldie Hawn's MindUp charity event in Beverly Hills on November 21, but the only reason the British hunk was in attendance was because he was on the host committee and wanted to keep up appearances.

Robin Thicke's 19-Year-Old Girlfriend April Love Geary Shows Off Her Plump Rump


Robin Thicke's new 19-year-old girlfriend April Love Geary must be trying to capitalize on her newfound fame, because she decided to share an Instagram snapshot that showed off her luscious booty with her legions of fans.

The couple has been flaunting their romance all over town in recent weeks! The pair have been spotted taking drives in his convertible, catching the USC vs. UCLA game, and attending Leonardo DiCaprio's 40th birthday party.

The "Blurred Lines" singer and estranged wife Paula Patton separated after nine years of marriage in February, and the actress filed divorce papers in October. Guy moves quickly!

Amal Clooney Pregnant?


George Clooney broke his vow by taking one ... and MAYBE the reason is becoming apparent.

Amal Clooney and her husband were leaving Soho House in West Hollywood when a photog took the pics this weekend. 

George -- who said he would never marry again -- is unwaveringly silent about stuff like this -- but the photos are definitely interesting. 

Coats generally don't hang out from your body, and the placement of her hands adds fuel to the fire.

Huge Hefner Shares His Thoughts On The Bill Cosby Rape Allegations


Just when you thought all of these rape and sexual abuse allegations that've been brought against Bill Cosby couldn't get any worse, Hugh Hefner -- a long-time friend of Cosby's, and the Playboy dude, -- has spoken out against the things that seem to be mounting against Bill, and it doesn't sound good at all.

During a recent interview, Hefner was asked about the rape claims piling up and gathering steam throughout the years. Hef said, "Bill Cosby has been a good friend for many years and the mere thought of these allegations is truly saddening ... I would never tolerate this kind of behavior, regardless of who was involved."

Man. This thing just gets sadder and sadder on so many levels -- and Hugh Hefner, considering who he is and what he's made an empire from -- decrying alleged actions against his life-long friend (in public, nonetheless!) only helps make the shame even worse, if that's at all possible at this point. You know things are bad when even your friends feel compelled to shake their head at what folks are saying about you.

Kim Kardashian Jets To New York To Reunite With Husband Kanye After Almost A Month Apart


Amid rumors of a troubled marriage, Kim and Kanye reunited in New York, on Saturday -- Kardashian flying in from Miami, where she attended Art Basel events, and Kanye having been in Paris and even in China, previously.

Btu the couple looked happy to be back together, dining at Cipriani, braving the rain. No doubt these two knew what they signed on for when they tied the knot -- it's nearly impossible for the busy couple to be together much of the time, as Kim has promotional appearances that take her around the world and Kanye has his music and performances, of course.

The other rumor that seems to follow these two, is that Kim's ready to get pregnant again, as 17 month-old Nori wants a sibling.

Angelina Jolie Takes Selfies With Fans In NYC

 
Angelina Jolie stopped to take photos with fans and sign autographs in New York, on Friday, as she was in the Big Apple to promote her upcoming film Unbroken.

Dressed all in black, with a chic cape to top off the look, Mrs. Brad Pitt was without her husband as he, presumable, stayed home in LA with the kids.

The actress-director has her eye on the prize -- literally -- as she heads into the holiday season, gearing up her Oscar campaign. Her second directorial effort is receiving rave reviews and is being talked about as a frontrunner come awards season after the first of the year.

Box Office: ‘Hunger Games’ Tops Post-Thanksgiving Dead Zone With $21.6 Million

 

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1″ held onto its box office crown for a third straight week, picking up $21.6 million, but it wasn’t much of a triumph for the hit sequel.

Ticket sales for the weekend were anemic, falling 19% from the previous year as studios decided to hold their fire for the Christmas holiday instead of introducing any major new releases. Twentieth Century Fox toyed with counter-programming by releasing  “The Pyramid” in 589 theaters, but the found-footage horror film only eked out $1.3 million.

After three weeks, “Mockingjay – Part 1″ has earned $257.7 million domestically.
