Robin Wright And Ben Foster Are Engaged


The House of Cards star and actor Ben Foster are engaged, People reports. Robin Wright is 14 years older than her beau.

The two began dating after starring in the 2011 film Rampart together. Dating rumors surfaced in early 2012. This will be Robin's third marriage. She was married to Sean Penn for 13 years. The couple has two children together. She also wed actor Dane Witherspoon in the late '80s.

Robin showed off her new engagement ring at Diane von Furstenberg's Journey of a Dress event on Friday night. We'll most definitely see the sparkler again on Sunday at the Golden Globes. "House of Cards" is nominated for best TV drama.

Justin Bieber: Detectives Gunning For Felony Prosecution in Egging Case


Justin Bieber will be charged with a felony -- if L.A. County Sheriff's detectives have their way.

Law enforcement sources say... 2 detectives met with the owner of the house that Bieber egged Thursday night. We're told the detectives are indignant and believe this is their best chance to nail the Biebs because they have both video of the incident and physical evidence.

And there's urgency to the investigation ... we're told the detectives told the homeowner they need repair estimates by Monday.

Our sources say detectives are confident the estimates will raise the stakes to a felony. In California, if the damage is greater than $400 it becomes FELONY vandalism. We're told the homeowner's damage could be in the 10s of thousands of dollars because the very expensive Venetian plaster on the outside of the house has to be redone, and very expensive doors and other items were either damaged or ruined.

As for why the Sheriff's detectives want to hold Bieber accountable ... they feel he's made a mockery of the legal system by breaking the law numerous times ... the problem has been there was never enough evidence to prosecute him.  But there is now.

The D.A. should get the case next week.

Hilary Duff & NHL Husband Have SEPARATED


Hilary Duff and ex-NHL star Mike Comrie have just announced they've separated ... and it's pretty obvious divorce is just a matter of time.

The couple says they "have mutually decided to an amicable separation" and will "remain best friends and will continue to be in each other's lives."

26-year-old Duff and 33-year-old Comrie were married in Aug. 2010 in Santa Barbara ... and Hilary gave birth to a baby boy,  Luca, March 20, 2012.

Hilary's mom, Susan Duff, tells sources, the couple has already decided on joint custody of Luca. Susan says she loves Mike but sees the breakup this way, "They're better friends than a married couple."

A rep for the couple says they are dedicated to parenting their son together.

Hilary just tweeted saying, "Mike and I are sitting here, we are so appreciative for all of your kindness & well wishes."

She continued, "Not an easy day but we're getting thru it together."

Hilary and Mike were most recently spotted together on New Year's Eve.

Sofia Vergara Slaps Jimmy Kimmel After He Reads An Insulting Internet Comment About Her


Sofia Vergara slapped the messenger! The 41-year old Modern Family vixen appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night and things got heated as the two took turns reading Internet troll comments about each other aloud.

It started off relatively harmless with your typical "I don't like Kimmel" comments and Sofia Vergara "has a more annoying voice than Fran Drescher" (kinda true, sorry Sofia), but the Golden Globe-nominated beauty "snapped" when Jimmy read one particularly insulting comment about her.

Celebs get to pose on the red carpet, but sometimes it seems like they prefer posting silly selfies on Instagram to show off what really goes on behind the scenes during awards season.

NBC Highlights Ann Curry’s Reporting From Africa After Reports She’s Out


NBC wants you to know that Ann Curry remains very much on the job: She’s reporting from the Central African Republic, a region many fear is on the brink of genocide.

In a striking contrast of First World and Third World problems, Curry is the subject of recent reports that NBC isn’t planning to renew her contract even as she covers a human rights crisis.

NBC has denied the reports. But nothing speaks louder than an international assignment to cover legitimate news.

Curry is aggressively covering the crisis, filing reports and tweeting about camps of displaced people, a little girl lost in a camp of 100,000 people, and women waiting in a Doctors without Borders clinic.

In one of her reports, Amy Martin, head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in CAR, described the region as “like Darfur, plus anarchy.”

Curry’s future with the network has been in question since she was dismissed from co-hosting “Today” in 2012.

Miley Cyrus Looks Miserable In The New Marc Jacobs Ad

CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Miley Cyrus is doing some modeling for Marc Jacobs, but why does the 21-year-old singer look so bummed in this snapshot? This campaign image for the Marc Jacobs Spring 2014 fashion collection seriously looks like it belongs in Les Mis.

Miley has just been signed as the face for the fashion label, and the other day she tweeted a picture of herself wearing MJ's pro-gay marriage t-shirt with the caption, “Jacobs by Marc by Marc Jacobs.” Miley has worn tons of Marc's stuff over the years, so we think this is the perfect fit! But what we're dying to know is if she'd ever do her own collaboration with him ... there's definitely a market for it!

Kelly Osbourne And Matthew Mosshart End Their Engagement


Kelly Osbourne and Matthew Mosshart have ended their engagement.

A rep for the Fashion Police host said in a statement:

    "Kelly Osbourne and Matthew Mosshart have decided to end their engagement. The split is amicable and the pair continue to have nothing but the utmost respect for one another. Kelly is looking forward to a new year full of fresh beginnings. No further comments will be provided by all parties and we request privacy, decorum and space from the press but don't expect it."

Kelly tweeted on Wednesday, "its all about perception sometimes the bad things that happen in life aren't really bad at all especially when you learn something from it!" Wonder if it was a mutual decision? Guess we'll never know...

The couple met in the summer of 2011 at Kate Moss's wedding, and Mosshart proposed in Anguilla in July of 2013.

Dennis Rodman Apologizes For Bae Comments


Dennis Rodman apologized Thursday for comments about captive American missionary Kenneth Bae in an interview with CNN.

A day after the former basketball star sang "Happy Birthday" to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and led a squad of former NBA players in a friendly game, Rodman issued the apology through publicist Jules Feiler in an email message to The Associated Press.

"I want to apologize," Rodman said. "I take full responsibility for my actions. It had been a very stressful day. Some of my teammates were leaving because of pressure from their families and business associates. My dreams of basketball diplomacy was quickly falling apart. I had been drinking. It's not an excuse but by the time the interview happened I was upset. I was overwhelmed. It's not an excuse, it's just the truth.

"I want to first apologize to Kenneth Bae's family. I want to apologize to my teammates and my management team. I also want to apologize to Chris Cuomo. I embarrassed a lot of people. I'm very sorry. At this point I should know better than to make political statements. I'm truly sorry."

Rodman has been slammed for not using his influence with Kim to help free Bae, the missionary in poor health who is being confined in the North for "anti-state" crimes. On CNN on Tuesday, Rodman implied Bae was at fault.

Supposed Couple Matt Kemp and Khloe Kardashian Has Supposedly Broken Up

 

Just two weeks ago, it seemed like there was hope for love in America. Shortly after filing for divorce from Lamar Odom, news emerged that Khloe Kardashian might be an item with Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp. (Or were they just friends?! The plot thickened.)

Evidently — or at least according to sources that spoke to US Weekly and were excerpted by The Daily Mail – Khloe’s lawyers put the kibosh on the whole thing because it would’ve looked bad for their client in her aforementioned divorce proceedings.

Jane Lynch Settles Divorce Case


Jane Lynch has settled her divorce case, and sources say, it was really civilized.

Jane's wife, psychologist Dr. Lara Embry -- repped by attorney Susan Wiesner -- wanted a pound of flesh -- as in $93K a month in spousal support.

Jane and Lara were married in 2010, but it was not to last ... Jane -- who's repped by disso-queen Laura Wasser -- filed for divorce in July, citing "irreconcilable differences."

Sources close to the former couple say Lara didn't get close to the $93K she wanted, but did get something. We're told Jane got the house ... which is only fair since she paid for it.

Now that the case is settled ... we're told Jane and Lara are on "very civilized" terms ... even spending time with each other over the holidays.

If divorce can have a happy ending ... this is it.

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Venus Williams has put her Hollywood Hills home on the market for $1.7 million, which is $100,000 less than what she paid for it in 2005. But seeing as she has an estimated net worth of $60 million, this isn't that big of a loss for her.


Leonardo DiCaprio Chats With Ellen DeGeneres About The Wolf Of Wall Street And Surviving A Deadly Shark Encounter


Leonardo DiCaprio makes an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday, and the 39-year-old actor chats about shooting The Wolf Of Wall Street and (gasp!) getting stuck IN a cage with a great white shark.

On shooting the scene in which Jonah Hill's character hurls ham onto his face, Leo tells Ellen:

    "I appreciate that and it all resulted in this insane sequence in the end where Jonah decides to stuff ham into his mouth as well and crashes into a plate glass table and we were doing this CPR sequence and you know the big challenge that day we had to do 70 takes because they couldn't get this ham to stick on my face and they had to put K-Y Jelly and there's literally a guy there behind this giant window with a plastic spoon just flicking ham on my face all day long as I'm doing this insane sequence. But it was almost, it was one of the most surreal things I've ever done in my entire career."

Lindsey Vonn Pulls Out Of Winter Olympics Due To Knee Injury


Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn just announced she will no longer be competing in the upcoming Sochi Winter Olympics due to a right knee injury.

"An MRI showed an MCL sprain, which coupled with the torn ACL, has made it impossible to stabilize her knee and be ready to safely ski again next month," said her publicist in a statement this morning.

On Dec. 21 in Val d' Isere, France, Vonn reinjured her right knee. The Olympian has been plagued with knee injuries over the past year -- she tore the anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in her knee last February and then partially tore the same ACL in November. The competition in Val d' Isere was the 29-year-old's second World Cup stop since the injuries.

"Vonn will have surgery shortly and is expected to make a full recovery in time for the 2014/15 World Cup season and the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships in Vail-Beaver Creek," the statement said.

"In looking ahead, I have every ounce of confidence that Lindsey will be in the starting gate next World Cup season ready to compete," said Bill Marolt, president of the U.S. Skiing and Snowboard Association.

The news is sure to come as quite a blow to the gold medalist. Tiger Woods' main squeeze She has won four overall World Cup championships with three consecutive titles in 2008, 2009, and 2010, and then again in 2012. At the 2010 Winter Olympics, Vonn came home with the gold medal in downhill skiing. The sports star has also won six consecutive World Cup season titles in the downhill (2008–2013), four consecutive titles in Super G (2009–2012), and three consecutive titles in the combined (2010–2012).

The 2014 Winter Olympics will occur in Sochi, Russia from Feb. 7-23.

Charlie Sheen Tells Ashton Kutcher To "Quit Barfing" On 'Two and a Half Men'


The tiger claws are coming out! Charlie Sheen took a jab at Ashton Kutcher -- his replacement on CBS' hit sitcom Two and a Half Men -- on Monday, Jan. 6 via Twitter.

"Hey Ashton," wrote the Anger Management star. "Sorry bro all good now quit barfing on my old brilliant show."

48-year-old Sheen continued, "Remember Punk'd? how duz it feel?" (Punk'd was a hidden-camera, prank show that aired on MTV from 2003-2012, which Kutcher, 35, created, produced and hosted.)

The unpredictable actor's insult followed an initial tweet just one day before, where he gave a warm shout-out to his former Two and a Half Men colleague, Jon Cryer. "Hey Jon!!! u r a GENIUS!!! I effin love and MISS YOU old pal!" said the social media-happy star. His tweet was a drastic improvement from 2011, when Sheen called Cryer a "troll" and a "traitor" in an interview.

He completed his tweet Sunday with a jab at Kutcher and wrote, "Q; who's your lame sidekick? c #NiceTryCanonBoy." The FX star's hashtag was in reference to Kutcher's endorsement deal with camera company Nikon -- not Canon. 

Kutcher has yet to respond to the tweets.

Eva Longoria Named Maxim's Woman Of The Year

 
Eva Longoria has been named Maxim's woman of the year, and the 38-year-old actress told the mag, "It's especially awesome after how long it's been since my first cover. I've had a beautiful relationship with Maxim over all these years … When someone sees the cover of this issue, they're going to say, '¡Que rico!' … Say it when something is really good."

Sounds like it's really good! As far as we know, Eva isn't dating anyone, but it sounds like she could be ready to settle back down again. "One thing people are usually surprised about when they get to know me is how domestic I am," she tells the mag. "So when you see the sexy Maxim cover and then you put it against me in an apron with flour in my hair, it takes a moment to reconcile that image."

The former Desperate Housewives star recently received her master's degree in Chicano Studies from Cal State Northridge, and she reveals that she's always worn several hats. "Back in high school I really was the chameleon, too," she says. "I got along with the honors math club, then I would go to cheer-leading practice, and then I was a band geek as well."

Drew Barrymore Opens Up About "Complicated" Relationship With Her Mom: "We Can't Really Be In Each Other's Lives"

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Drew Barrymore covers the new issue of Marie Claire, and while she gushes about life as a mom, the interview takes a sober turn with the 38-year-old actress discusses her estrangement from her mother Jaid.

"Ugh, I mean, my relationship with my mom is so complicated," she tells the mag. "I've always been empathetic toward my mom, and I was even more so when I had a kid and we had a really amazing conversation about it. However, [becoming a mom] hasn't enabled me to lessen the distance. It's the hardest subject in my life. I've never just been angry with her. I've always felt guilt and empathy and utter sensitivity. But we can’t really be in each other's lives at this point."

"When I was a kid, everything was so unplanned, my parents were so erratic, and my world was so inconsistent," she continued. "I was 14 when I moved into my own apartment. I was so scared. I didn’t know anything. I didn’t know you had to throw food out when it rotted in the fridge. I was convinced someone was going to crawl through my window. I would go to the Laundromat and sit there reading Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath."

The former child star famously entered rehab at the age of 14, after which she successfully petitioned for juvenile emancipation from her parents. "I hated growing up alone. I hated it. I don't f*ck anyone over. My friends are the loves my life."

On a lighter note, Drew says she's thankful for the joy hubby Will Kopelman has brought into her life, and when asked about marrying into his family, she says, “I didn’t think I would ever get to experience that. This is so safe and positive and healthy because they have their values intact. It was huge for me. And that’s what I want for my family.”

So will the couple stop after two kids? “I think I’d like to have more," Drew says. "In the back of my head, I’m already timing if I was to have another when that would occur.”

Michelle Obama is spending the last, fleeting days of her 40s at Oprah's palatial Maui estate -- law enforcement sources have confirmed.

The First Lady -- who turns 50 next Friday -- stayed behind when her husband went back to the Oval Office.  She island hopped from Oahu to Maui ... and went directly to Oprah's 12-bedroom spread.

A photog on the island says... Michelle will have company, as in Oprah.

Sources say security on the island is airtight, with SWAT teams and just about every other resource securing wide perimeters around Michelle. 

It's truly a lady's vacation.  Sasha and Malia went back with dad.

Box Office: ‘Frozen’ Storms Past ‘Paranormal Activity’ Spin-Off To Top Box Office


On a weekend in which much of the nation was shivering through bitter winter weather, it seems somehow right that “Frozen” was the No. 1 movie at the box office.

The animated musical blasted past snowstorms and the new horror film “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones” to take in $20.7 million and knock “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” out of the top spot it had held for the past three weekends.

Disney’s 3D family film is still going strong in its sixth week of wide release and has rung up nearly $300 million domestically since just before Thanksgiving, and more than $600 million worldwide. It’s the second-highest grossing Disney Animation release of all-time, behind only “The Lion King.”
