Sean Penn Has 'No Apologies' For Green Card Joke At Oscars


Sean Penn opened up about the green card joke heard ‘round the world on Saturday in Beverly Hills during a promotional tour for his new film The Gunman, saying that he has “absolutely no apologies” for his comment. The actor-director also offered up choice words for those who didn’t recognize the irony in his remarks.

On Feb. 22 at the 87th Academy Awards, Penn, tasked with presenting the best picture award, made waves when he opened the envelope and first asked “Who gave this son of a bitch his green card?” before announcing the winner as Birdman.

Directed by the Mexican-born Alejandro Iñárritu, many wondered whether the joke was distasteful. The term “green card” refers to a document that confers permanent residency on immigrants in the United States.

Amber Rose And Chrissy Teigen Could Replace Kelly Osbourne On Fashion Police


After Kelly Osbourne quit E!'s Fashion Police last week, we've been wondering who might replace her, and the latest names to be tossed into the mix are none other than Amber Rose and Chrissy Teigen.

It was previously reported that NeNe Leakes and Khloe Kardashian were being considered for the position, and now Us Weekly reports that Amber and Chrissy are contenders -- along with Naya Rivera. "Naya is talking to E! about being on Fashion Police," an insider tells the magazine. "They are really intrigued, especially since she was so controversial during her View appearances and got so much press." Meh, we'd be more interested in what Chrissy has to say.

"They are thinking they might just use subs the next few months and not rush to make a decision," the source added.

Kelly famously quit the show after her colleague Giuliana Rancic made a controversial remark about Zendaya Coleman's dreadlocks at the Oscars. Osbourne reportedly protested before the clip even aired, and since she's friends with Zendaya, she was livid about the Giuliana's comment, even after the veteran TV presenter apologized.

Lindsay Lohan Parties Hard During Paris Fashion Week


The 28-year-old starlet may have been through the ringer over the years with trips to rehab and jail, but she still looked pretty good here -- AND the previous day when she stepped out in London. Has the former it girl cleaned up her act? We hope so.

However, Lilo has more legal drama on the horizon after a Los Angeles judge ordered her to perform 125 additional hours of community service last week. This is stemming from her reckless driving charge in 2012, and though she's made a serious dent in the 240 total hours she's supposed to complete, it seems as though she took some liberties with her remaining time.

Apparently Lilo thought having young people "shadow" her while she performed in London last year counted as community service, but the actress' lawyer Shawn Holley noted that this would be addressed immediately. Judge Mark Young extended Lohan's probation for another three months, and a hearing will be held on March 12 to determine what Lohan can do to complete her hours.

Lenny Kravitz And Denzel Washington Have A Guys Night Out


Lenny Kravitz and Denzel Washington had a guys night at trendy vegan eatery, Crossroads, in West Hollywood on Thursday night.

Lenny was looking cool as ever in a denim jacket with a popped collar, distressed t-shirt, slim-fitting jeans and tan suede boots.

Photogs almost missed Denzel as he was incognito with a hat and facial hair -- but paparazzi's later caught the Oscar winner, who was sporting athletic gear.

Harrison Ford Broke His Pelvis And Ankle In Plane Crash, Spent Hours In Surgery


Harrison Ford broke his pelvis and ankle yesterday when he crash landed his plane on a golf course, reports KTLA.

Ford was reportedly in surgery for four hours after the crash, and late last night his rep said in a statement, "Harrison was flying a WW2 vintage plane today which stalled upon takeoff. He had no other choice but to make an emergency landing, which he did safely. The injuries sustained are not life-threatening, and he is expected to make a full recovery."

Ford's son Ben added, "At the hospital. Dad is ok. Battered, but ok! He is every bit the man you would think he is. He is an incredibly strong man."

The 72-year-old actor was reported to be in "fair to moderate condition," and since then, footage of the scary crash has hit the web. Ford's plane can be seem skimming over the trees on the green, and eyewitnesses on the scene say the star expertly landed the aircraft.

Harrison Ford Gave Flying Advice Way Before Crash


Harrison Ford has always known the most important part of flying is the landing ... and he once told a paparazzi about it.

Back in 2013, a paparazzi came face to face with Dr. Jones for an aviation tip ... and he gave a short, but right on the mark answer. He said, "it's all about the landing".

He is certainly right about that!

Following Thursday's near-tragic crash, Ford is being hailed by some as a hero for avoiding disaster and landing the plane on a golf course.

Did Susan Sarandon And Younger Boyfriend Split Over A Reality Show?


Susan Sarandon and boyfriend Jonathan Bricklin have hit a rough patch, according to reports. Page Six alleges that the 68-year-old actress broke things off with the SPiN New York co-founder, 37, following a disagreement over a reality show.

No, they weren't fighting over whether or not Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna was too up in Kim Richards's business.

The couple of five years both appeared on AOL's Connected, which features "six personal stories, weaving together the lives and experiences of six New Yorkers in a format that merges the documentary, drama and reality genres."

Bricklin was one of the six New Yorkers who was given a camera to film his life for six months. Apparently, Sarandon grew "increasingly annoyed" with their personal lives being filmed.

"It caused a lot of strain in the relationship," a source told the paper. "It's documented for the show that Susan breaks up with him because she doesn't want to be involved with the show. She says, 'You're a cast member, I'm not.'"

Jessica Simspon Channels Daisy Duke In New Spring Ad Campaign


Channeling her role in the the 2005 comedy the Dukes of Hazzard, Jessica Simpson showed off her slim pins in some very short shorts -- in her new campaign for her Spring 2015 collection.

The fashion mogul shared the image on her Jessica Simpson Style Instagram. In it she's wearing some light colored denim Daisy Dukes, a hobo blouse and a pair of Jessica Simpson Reiko sandals which retail for $119.

Along with the snap, the caption read, "Another look at our #spring15 campaign! @jessicasimpson photographed by @gilles_bensimon in #Sedona. If you missed it last night, check out a behind the scenes look at the making of the campaign over at jessicasimpson.com!"

Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, And Michael Richards Reunite In Los Angeles


On Wednesday, March 4, Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards made Seinfeld fans’ dreams come true at a charity event hosted by the beloved sitcom’s leading man.

The trio posed together at the Inaugural Los Angeles Fatherhood Lunch to Benefit Baby Buggy at The Palm Restaurant in Beverly Hills, Calif. Seinfeld, 60, who played the show’s titular comedian, happily rounded up Alexander, 55, who played the immoral George Costanza, and Richards, 65, who played the wacky Cosmo Kramer, for some pictures at the charity event.

Khloe Kardashian And French Montana Vacation Together In Florida


They may not be posting photos together, but Khloe Kardashian and French Montana are DEFINITELY vacationing together. And let's be honest -- they're probably sleeping together too. So much for those rumors she was trying to patch things back up with estranged husband Lamar Odom.

Khloe and French are in Key West, Florida, along with her bestie Malika Haqq (pictured above) and his friend Chinx Drugz (cropped out, because we don't really care). Chinx posted the shot of Khloe jet skiing above, while French put up the pic of himself holding a stack of cash. Funny, because before he started dating the bootilicious reality star, he definitely didn't have that much money in his hands!

French reportedly presented Khloe with a beautiful bouquet of flowers upon her arrival, and after spending Valentine's Day together, it definitely seems like the duo have rekindled their romance. We know this relationship isn't as tumultuous as say, Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran, but will it end up working out this time around? These two don't exactly have the best track record!

Iggy Azalea Didn't Want To Win A Grammy: "People Already Hate Me Enough"


On Tuesday, the superstar rapper, who wore minimal makeup, took a break from recording at a Los Angeles music studio to chat with friends. We love her off-duty wear! And while some may love Iggy -- it appears as though not everyone is a fan.

The Aussie stopped by Los Angeles' Power 106 radio station and talked about being nominated for a Grammy for Best Rap Album and admitted she was glad she didn't go home with the award for her debut studio album The New Classic. "I did not want to win that award," Iggy admitted.

"I'm really happy that I was thought of and I appreciate just that," the "Fancy" rapper added. "I'm glad I didn't win because people already hate me enough... I do not need to be hated anymore."

The blonde was also nominated for Record of the Year for "Fancy," Best New Artist, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Fancy" with Charli XCX. She lost in all categories --

The rapper also said in the interview that the social media hate didn't stop there -- so she turned her social media accounts over to her team instead of handling them herself.

"Even when I lost, that was the worst too. I was like, 'God damn, are you ever going to leave me alone? I lost, you should be happy! S--t, bye! Let me lose in peace."

Courteney Cox Leans On Friends Co-Star Lisa Kudrow Amid Rumors Of Relationship Trouble With Fiance Johnny McDaid


Courteney Cox reunited with Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow and some other female pals for lunch at Cecconi's on Wednesday, and although she was still wearing her engagement ring, the Cougar Town star looked a little tense and down in the dumps. Could the rumors be true that she and fiancé Johnny McDaid are on the verge of a split?

Courtney was photographed crying to a male pal in Malibu last month, which sparked speculation that things between her and her Irish rocker beau were crumbling. However, the couple was caught jetting out of town together a week or so after the incident, so we don't know what to think anymore!

Whether her romantic relationship lasts or not, it's nice to see long lasting Hollywood female friendships!

Newly Single Pamela Anderson Goes On A Date With A Mystery Dude


On Monday night Pamela Anderson and her male pal dined at Crossroads in Hollywood, and even though her marriage to Rick Salomon recently fell apart (again -- this is the third time the couple filed for divorce).

We're sure Pammy will find a new man in no time ... especially if she keeps on flashing this much leg when she hits the town! She may be 47, but the former Baywatch babe definitely still has it!

Jamie Dornan To Make $6.9 Million For Fifty Shades Of Grey Sequel


Don't fret 50 Shades of Grey fans, Jamie Dornan will continue to hit Dakota Johnson for money!

The Irish actor has signed on to reprise his role as S&M loving billionaire Christian Grey for the film's highly anticipated sequel -- for a hefty $6.9 million price tag.

Last week, reports surfaced that The Fall actor was walking from the sextacular series. But it appears after some negotiations -- the star is staying.

A source close to the actor told the Daily Star: 'The money on the offer was just too good. He's been really worried that he will get typecast as Christian Grey and it will do his long-term career ambitions damage."

Single Mom Hilary Duff Looks Happier Than Ever After Filing For Divorce


Hilary Duff recently tossed in the towel on her marriage to Mike Comrie, but there are certainly no breakup blues here! On Monday we snapped the 27-year-old starlet grocery shopping in Beverly Hills, and from the smile on her face to her calm demeanor, she seemed totally fine.

Duff filed for divorce from Comrie less than two weeks ago, which was almost exactly a year after the two announced that they were separating. Duff cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, and she's asking for primary custody of the couple's 2-year-old son Luca.

Hil covers the new issue of Cosmopolitan, and in it she dishes all the deets on her ill-fated union. "Mike and I were very in love when we met," she tells the mag. "We both really wanted to get married. I'd been working since the age of 11 or 12, so making that choice at a young age seemed right for me. Maybe it wasn't, but we spent the majority of our time together really happy. It wasn't working well enough to stay together, but there was still a lot of love involved. It was just a slow set-in of us not being the match that we used to be. I'm lucky for the person he is and I am and how we decided to handle this."

Jared Leto Cuts Hair & Shaves Off That Beard for Joker Role In "Suicide Squad"


"Suicide Squad" director David Ayer just shared the first picture of Jared Leto's transformation into Batman's most notorious foe -- and he's got a lot less hair these days.

While Leto has been rocking long locks since 2012 and goes back and forth between a full-on beard and light scruff, both are MIA now.

Cameron Diaz On Sex: "It's Something Healthy That We Need To Be Doing"


Cameron Diaz is the cover girl of the "Love Your Body" issue of this month's Cosmopolitan magazine, and the actress chatted about all things diet and exercise, but what really caught our attention was her emphasis on the importance of a healthy sex life.

"It’s something healthy that we need to be doing for many different reasons," she revealed about getting busy between the sheets. Husband Benji Madden probably doesn't mind her mindset.

Cammy D might be getting quite the workout in the bedroom, but she supplements that with a traditional sweat session. "You have to just do it. Once you commit and really put in the effort, your body goes, 'Oh, it’s not OK to be without this.' People say, 'My body rejects exercise.' No, it doesn’t. Your mind rejects exercise," she explained.

The blonde bombshell isn't as rigid as Gwyneth Paltrow, though.

"Wellbeing is an equation. Remember, you don’t have to have the whole cake, you can have a piece. Don’t deprive yourself. Have fun. Just be self-aware. If your equation is 80% good, 20% bad most of the time, then a little movement toward the centre isn’t going to affect you much," she stated.

Taylor Swift Addresses The Katy Perry Feud By Refusing To Address The Katy Perry Feud


Taylor Swift really doesn't want to talk about Katy Perry.

When asked about her ongoing feud with the "Firework" singer, T-Swizzle told Telegraph UK the she's done talking about it.

"I’m not giving them anything to write about ... I’m never going to talk about her in my interview. It’s not going to happen."

This pretty much confirms the Tay and KP fight is real -- and not just something the media made up!

The two have had a tete-a-tete for the past few months with thinly veiled digs. Last fall, Taylor spoke to Rolling Stone and referred to a fellow pop star as a "straight-up enemy" -- which many guessed was about her fall out with the "Roar" singer. Later that day, Katy tweeted, "Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing."

Brad Pitt Heads For Paris Amid Reports He And Angelina Jolie Are Planning Another Adoption


Brad Pitt jetted outta LA, on Saturday, headed for Paris and, most likely, to join his family at their massive vineyard compound near Aix-en-Provence in the south.

Still, despite the family's wealth and their ability to live like royalty, they give away plenty of their money, too. The Jolie-Pitt Foundation has an endowment of more than $34 million and the super couple has let their super KIDS decide where the money will go!

Yes, Brad Pitt and wife Angelina Jolie have engaged their six kids - Maddox, 13; Pax, 11; Zahara, 10; Shiloh, 8; and twins Vivienne and Knox, 6 -- participate in the decision-making process regarding the organizations that will benefit from their non-profit.

Shiloh recently suggested 1.2 million pounds worth of donation to the Naankuse Lodge and Wildlife Sanctuary in Namibia, the African country in which Jolie gave birth to her, according to a report.

In fact, the Jolie-Pitts are reportedly considering adding a new member to their team, by adopting a two-year-old Syrian boy named Moussa currently living at the Altinozu refugee camp in Turkey, according to the Woman's Day Australia.

Box Office: ‘Focus’ Tops Weak Crop of Competitors With $19.1 Million


Focus” topped the weekend box office charts with $19.1 million, but the heist film didn’t make off with as much loot as many analysts expected.

The film had been projected to earn between $21 million and $23 million, so cue breathless stories about whether or not Will Smith’s fastball has lost some heat. The debate may be excessive. “Focus” shows the limits of star power generally, not Smith’s particularly.
