2014 'Screen Actors Guild Awards' Winners


American Hustle danced off with the big honor of the evening at the 20th annual SAG Awards, winning outstanding ensemble in a motion picture.

Saturday night was all right for first-time Screen Actors Guild Awards winners.

Dallas Buyers Club co-stars Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto added to their Golden Globe wins with trophies at the 20th annual SAG Awards in Los Angeles, and Lupita Nyong'o, who plays an abused plantation worker in 12 Years a Slave.

"I've been able to recently find some characters I could humble myself to their humanities and then get feverishly drunk on their obsessions," McConaughey said after winning for best actor. Leto dedicated his award for his portrayal of a transgender AIDS patient to "the Rayons of the world, the people who made a choice to live their lives not as others would have them live it but as they have chosen to dream it."

Dennis Rodman Enters Rehab for Alcohol Abuse


Dennis Rodman is in rehab to treat his never-ending addiction to booze sources have confirmed.

Sources connected to Rodman say the 52-year old basketball Hall of Famer checked into a treatment center a few days ago in New Jersey ... on the heels of his disastrous trip to North Korea.

We're told Rodman is "beyond exhausted and overwhelmed" ... and he will be in treatment for 30 days.

The Worm has had multiple stints in rehab. Dennis checked into a Florida treatment facility in 2008 ... and in 2009 he appeared on the third season of "Celebrity Rehab." He relapsed shortly after the show premiered.

Rodman blamed booze for his explosion during a recent CNN interview from N. Korea.

Robert Pattinson SELLS Los Feliz Home He Shared With Kristen Stewart



Robert Pattinson just sold the Los Feliz mansion he shared with now ex-girlfriend Kristen Stewart to Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons for a whopping $6.375 million!

The Twilight star originally listed the abode for sale for $6.75 million, so he took a little bit of a hit on the price, but it sounds like he wanted to get rid of the place!

The British actor purchased the 4,026-square-foot home in September 2011 for $6.25 million from Kareem-Abdul Jabbar, and prior to that it was owned by ER star Noah Wylie. The Spanish-style home has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, but it sits on an acre and a half of land and there is plenty of space to entertain as the property features a 150-person screening room and a massive backyard.

Rachel Zoe Moves In To $26K-A-Month Rental Mansion In Beverly Hills

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Rachel Zoe has a new rental crib, according to RealEstalker, and interestingly enough, it's just a few blocks away from the Beverly Hills mansion she had been leasing for the last few years.

The celeb stylist is throwing down $26,000 a month for the 10,000-square-foot home, and seeing as the pad was listed for $29,500, it sounds like she was able to negotiate herself a little bit of a deal. But will she be able to remodel the place? She did it with her last pad (with the help of Jeremiah Brent and his fiance Nate Berkus), and given how um, outdated the interior is, we can't imagine Zoe plans on keeping it this way!


The home was built brand new in 1987, and it has a total of six bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. There is a massive double-height entry, large formal living and dining areas and hardwood floors throughout. There's a fully-paneled library with built-in bookcases, a four-plus stool built-in wet bar, and while the kitchen is spacious, it has a very odd fish eye aquarium that sticks out on the wall of the breakfast nook. There is a terrace on the back of the house that overlooks a sparkling swimming pool with an inset spa, and while this all sounds nice, we're not sure why she'd want to splash so much cash around on a place she plans on gutting.

Kim Kardashian taped an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres show yesterday, and the reality star took the opportunity to show off recent pictures of her baby girl Nori with the audience.

"She changes all the time. One day she'll look like Kanye, one day she'll look like me. It's so crazy. And her personality is so cute. She is really calm and really quiet," the new mom told the talk show host about her firstborn.

Angelina Jolie Is Wicked In New 'Maleficent' Trailer


We got a very brief peek at Angelina Jolie in Maleficent last fall, and now Disney has released yet another teaser for the film featuring a lot more footage of the actress. We have to say, this role is pretty perfect for her.

Angelina stars as the legendary villain while Elle Fanning plays the role of Princess Aurora, and though the movie is essentially a live action remake of Disney's 1959 animated film Sleeping Beauty, the story is told from Maleficent's perspective.

Watch the trailer below....

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Are Engaged


The rumors are true - Johnny Depp proposed to Amber Heard. Gossip circulated earlier this week when Heard was spotted with a ring on that finger while dining out with a friend.

According to sources, Depp proposed on Christmas Eve - but she didn't answer him right away. "Amber really took her time to make up her mind," a source shared. And this wasn't the first time Depp had asked: "She turned him down before," added the source, "before she said yes. So she waited and was thinking about it for a long time."

The pair met on set of The Rum Diary and confirmed their relationship in June 2012, not long after Depp's split from his partner of 14 years, Vanessa Paradis. Later this year, the newly-engaged couple will return to the silver screen together in London Fields.

Jezebel Spent $10K For Photoshopped Images of Lena Dunham

CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE

The women's website Jezebel proudly revealed this photo from actress Lena Dunham's controversial Vogue photo shoot. However, the move didn't resonate with fans of the actress, who slammed Jezebel's stunt as "cruel" and "stupid" on Twitter. Vogue also chimed in, posting an outtake from the shoot on its Instagram page, of Dunham posing with a pigeon on her head. The caption read, "The VOGUE pigeon. Any questions?"

It all started on Wednesday, when Dunham's Vogue cover was released online, portraying a gorgeous shot from the chest up. Almost immediately, the Internet began buzzing about the image, with many fans complaining that the magazine had cropped the actress's curvy body out of the frame and applied too much airbrushing to the inside shots (slimming her down, erasing her arm). In response to the public outcry, Jezebel offered a $10,000 prize to anyone (i.e. someone who works in the art department at Vogue) who could pass along the comedian's untouched photos for all to view.

On Friday, someone did send Jezebel the photos, which are completely underwhelming. Sure, Dunham's neck was thinned out a bit, her chin narrowed, her jawline sharpened. The lighting was fixed. Some of the polka dots on her shirt were removed to make way for bigger cover lines. But compared with the airbrushing hack jobs we've seen in the past, Vogue did a pretty great job of maintaining the "Girls" creator's face and body — impressive for a magazine that amputated Claire Danes's leg in July.

CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Khloe Kardashian has reportedly purchased a home in the same gated Hidden Hills community as mom Kris Jenner, Us Weekly reports.

Not only that, but supposedly her new bachelorette pad is located on the very same street!

The move comes just weeks after the reality star listed the Tarzana mansion she shared with estranged husband Lamar Odom for $5.5 million.

"Khloe already bought a new home. Her mom is right up the street!" a source dished to the magazine.

Robert Redford Blames Lionsgate for Oscars Snub: 'We Had No Campaign'


When a moderator talked about his exclusion from the Oscars race, the audience booed.

“Let me speak frankly about how I feel about it,” Redford said. “I don’t want that to get in the way of why we’re here,” referencing his commitment to independent film.

He pointed out that director J.C. Chandor had made his debut at Sundance several years ago.

“I’ve been part of the Hollywood film industry for much of my career,” he said. “I’m very happy about it. Hollywood is what it is. It’s a business.”

There’s a lot of campaigning going on and it can be very political,” he added about the Oscars race.

Then he took a jab at Lionsgate, the studio that released “All is Lost.”

“In our case, we suffered from little to no distribution,” he said. “I don’t know what they were afraid of. They didn’t want to spend money or they were incapable.”

“We had no campaign to cross over into the mainstream,” he explained.

But he said he had no hard feelings. “Would it have been wonderful to be nominated?” he asked. “Of course. I’m not disturbed by it or upset by it.”

Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Jason Alexander Filming at Tom's Restaurant in New York


Seinfeld fans rejoice! 

Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, and Larry David have been spotted together at the iconic Tom's Restaurant in New York, as made famous by the classic '90s sitcom Seinfeld.

Seinfeld and Alexander, who played George Costanza, were seen walking into the restaurant by Ali Philippides, a keen-eyed pedestrian armed with a smart phone camera which snapped the pair walking down Broadway and into the diner.

David, co-creator of Seinfeld and brainchild of Curb Your Enthusiasm, was also seen with the pair inside the diner along with a film crew.

The restaurant was closed for several hours, with cameras and cables running in and out of the building. The most optimistic Seinfeld fans would be praying for a new episode, or a mini-episode, or anything related to the hugely popular series which aired its final episode in 1998.

It's more likely, however, that the trio were filming a superbowl commercial, or perhaps something more? The only clue was Alexander's tweet: “Hey everybody, you'll never guess what I did today. Shhhhh. It's a secret.”

Could this possibly be for an upcoming episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee? Hmmmm....

Spike Lee Lists 8,292-square-foot Manhattan Townhouse For $32 Million

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Do the Right Thing director Spike Lee has just listed his massive 8,292-square-foot Manhattan townhouse for a hefty $32 million, which is quite the upsell from the $16.6 million he paid for the five-bedroom home in 1998. The East Side home, known as the "Hatch House" boasts a bevy of amenities including three original-detail fireplaces with "superb mantels," a "charming fenestrated breezeway," and an interior courtyard. The Spanish-style residence, located on E. 63rd, also includes library, staff quarters and an elevator.


The home, originally designed by architect Frederick J. Sterner and completed in 1920, has had a slew of celebrity owners. William Vanderbilt originally sold the land for the home for $85,000 and gave it as a wedding gift to his daughter Barbara Rutherford. Famed Broadway producer Charles B. Dillingham then bought it in 1921. Three years later, a Wright brothers collaborator and aeronautical engineer, Charles Lanier Lawrance bought the place in 1924.

After that, legendary burlesque dancer Gypsy Rose Lee owned the home and thew wild parties at the location. The wild woman lived there until 1970. Lee and his wife Tonya Lewis purchased the home in 1998 from artist Jasper Johns.

Justin Bieber's House Has Been Raided


Justin Bieber's BFF Lil Za has just been arrested for COCAINE POSSESSION at the singer's home -- during the early morning raid stemming from the Bieber egg attack on his neighbor.

A rep for the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. confirmed the arrest for FELONY drug possession -- and said the cocaine was "in plain view" during the raid. Officials say Bieber was "not connected" to the cocaine.
 
Za is a rapper who once lived at Bieber's Calabasas home ... and he's been close friends with JB for years.

Eleven L.A. County Sheriff's patrol cars descended on Bieber's house this morning to execute a search warrant in connection with Bieber's egg-throwing incident last week outside his neighbor's home ... law enforcement sources tell sources.

Sources say ... deputies are looking for any evidence that links Bieber to the egg assault.

We're told this is a FELONY search warrant -- meaning Justin is under a microscope for a crime that could land him in prison.
 
A Sheriff's official told us they were NOT looking for eggs in Justin's house, but another law enforcement source said cops were searching for anything that was relevant to the egg incident, including eggs and possibly video.

Sheriff's deputies have looked at video of the incident and believe Justin has surveillance video that might have captured the egging. We're told deputies dismantled Justin's security system and took it during the search.

Biggest Snubs at the Golden Globes

 

The Golden Globes are often full of surprises, and this year was no exception. Here are the biggest snubs of this years Golden Globes.

Completely shut out were “Nebraska” with five nominations, “Captain Phillips” with four, “Inside Llewyn Davis” with three, “Philomena” with three and “Rush”  with two, including best drama motion picture. What that means for Oscar nominations isn’t entirely clear, given the difference in sensibilities between the fewer-than-100 writers for foreign publications in the HFPA and the thousands of industry members celebrating their peers in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Police Confirm That Kanye West Is Involved In Misdemeanor Battery Investigation


Looks like Kanye West might want to lawyer up for yet another assault case, because the police want to talk to him regarding his involvement today in an altercation with an 18-year-old man in Beverly Hills.

The Beverly Hills Police Department said in a statement on Monday afternoon:

    "On Monday, January 13th at approximately 12:15 PM, the Beverly Hills Police Department responded to the 8800 block of Wilshire Blvd. regarding a Misdemeanor Battery that just occurred at the location.

    The named suspect was identified as Kanye West by the victim and several witnesses. Mr. West had left the location prior to Officers arrival. As of this writing, BHPD Detectives are conducting a follow-up investigation. No further information at this time."

The fact that Kanye left before cops showed up is definitely not a good thing, and the incident will be brought to the attention of the Los Angeles County District Attorney, as Kanye is also facing assault charges from another assault over the summer.

Jim Carrey Burned Down Shia LaBeouf's House of Lies


Jim Carrey put the ultimate smackdown on Shia LaBeouf at last night's 2014 Golden Globe Awards, and it was so good that it even drove Shia out of his public retirement so that he could comment on what Carrey had to say.

While presenting "American Hustle" for Best Motion Picture, Carrey falsely attributed a quote to Shia, saying, "Dying is easy. Comedy is hard." He continued by saying, "I believe it was Shia LaBeouf who said that -- so young, so wise." The joke went over fairly well, but of course Shia -- who can't go a hot second without reading and examining his own press and then bellyaching about it and blocking certain media outlets AHEM on Twitter -- had to go and make some more of his standard nonsensical comments about Carrey's Golden Globes tribute:

This was the only win of the evening for "12 Years a Slave," which earned seven nominations.

Jacqueline Bisset's Golden Globe Acceptance Speech Is Weird, Very Weird


Just a few awards in, Sunday's Golden Globes devolved into a full-on who-can-swear-more-contest between Elisabeth Moss or Jacqueline Bisset.

Let's recap: Moss dropped a "holy sh--" bomb after winning for "Top of the Lake." But the speech that really had us reeling comes from Bisset, whose work in "Dancing on the Edge" earned her a trophy for Best Supporting Actress in a Mini-Series or TV Movie.

It started with a really awkward silence, like she was leafing through a file cabinet in her brain, trying to find her words:

And when she did begin, it was fairly standard. The 69-year-old British beauty thanked the HFPA. She told us about being named "Promising Newcomer" by them 47 years ago. Then, stuff got weird. "You've nominated me about five times," she said. And that's true. Bisset was most recently nominated in 1999 for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for TV for her work in "Joan of Arc." No, she was not nominated for her awesome work in "Class" with Rob Lowe and Andrew McCarthy.

Anyway, the actress then gave a shout-out to "12 Years a Slave" nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor: "OK, Scottish background to the front! Where is Chiwetel? I need him for inspiration!" (Bisset's father was Scottish, FYI.)
If he wins, will he reciprocate? Too soon to tell.

Naturally, as her speech ran on, the musical cue started playing to signal she was out of time — but Bisset was just warming up. "I'm sorry, I'm going to get this together," she effused, before blurting out the four letter word that starts with the letter 's'. "I say like, my mother, what did she say, go to hell and don't come back."
It was then that the music volume took a serious upswing, as if the horns were literally going to knock her off the stage. But she went on, unperturbed: "My mother. ... However, however, however, if you want to look good, you have to forgive everybody. It is the best beauty treatment."

Watch Jacqueline's speech below....

Golden Globes: Poop Water Covers the Red Carpet

The Golden Globes turned into a golden shower, of sorts ... after a sewage pipe burst today on the red carpet.

Black sewage started to gush onto the red carpet after a pipe burst around 12:20 pm PT -- hours before celebrities were set to trounce on it.

Fire fighters were on-scene using air blowers and wet vacuums shortly after to rid the carpet of the horrible stench -- and remove excess water.

Box Office: 'Lone Survivor' Victorious With $38.5 Million Debut


Winning over the minds and hearts of moviegoers in America's heartland, Peter Berg's Navy SEALs drama Lone Survivor opened to a huge $38.5 million in North America, far more than expected and the best showing of any post-9/11 war film.

The patriotic-themed pic, earning a coveted A+ CinemaScore, boasts the second-best debut of all time for the month of January after Cloverfield ($40.1 million). Lone Survivor was strongest in flyover states, led by Texas (as expected, Canada was weak). The film's cume is $38.9 million when accounting for its exclusive awards qualifying run in New York and Los Angeles.

Starring Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch and Ben Foster, Lone Survivor is based on Marcus Luttrell's memoir about four SEALs sent on a dangerous mission to Afghanistan. (Wahlberg plays Luttrell.) Universal is releasing Lone Survivor domestically and in select foreign markets. Emmett/Furla Films produced the $40 million pic, which was financed in part by embattled Envision Films.
