Johnny Depp’s ‘Transcendence’ Will Most Likely Be A Box Office Bomb

Despite the star power of Johnny Depp, “Transcendence” will likely play fourth fiddle in the box office this Easter weekend.

The race looks to be a repeat of last weekend’s sequel showdown between Disney-Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and Fox’s “Rio 2,” which are each tracking for $25 million-plus.

“Rio 2” looks to benefit from the holiday timeframe as the number of children on spring break doubled this weekend from 10% to 20%. The 3D comedy could win this weekend by a beak, as it stands to earn an estimated $27 million-plus — roughly $2 million more than “Captain America.”

“Winter Soldier” has grossed almost $510 million worldwide ($175 million domestically), while “Rio 2” has tallied $177.2 million ($53 million domestically) through Thursday.

Meanwhile, Warner Bros.’ “Transcendence” is headed for a soft $16 million-plus launch. The sci-fi thriller, which reportedly cost $100 million to produce, may suffer from lackluster word of mouth and poor reviews (pic currently has 19% Rotten Tomatoes meter). “Transcendence” could, however, make up for the loss overseas thanks in part to a day-and-date release in China.

The high-concept film about a scientist whose consciousness is uploaded digitally marks the directorial debut of Wally Pfister, a longtime collaborator of Christopher Nolan’s who won on Oscar for shooting “Inception” back in 2011. The technophobia drama also stars Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Kate Mara and Cillian Murphy.

Gwen Stefani Joins 'The Voice'

Gwen Stefani's gonna make good money off Christina Aguilera getting knocked up -- sources are confirming that Gwen has signed on to be a judge on "The Voice."

Multiple sources connected to the show say ... No Doubt's lead singer will be on Season 7 ... which starts taping in June.

Producers started looking for new blood in February after Christina announced she was pregnant. Makes sense ... she'd be 8 or 9 months along by the time Season 8's battle rounds began. 

We're told NBC wanted Christina to stay during her pregnancy but she's having a difficult time already and ultimately bowed out.

Gwen's deal is for one season right now, and we're told Christina has already signed on to rotate back into her spinning chair for Season 8.

Simon Cowell Exchanges A Flirty Hello With A Female Friend

Simon Cowell ran into his publicist AnnMarie Thompson in Beverly Hills yesterday, and the music mogul was in a rather playful mood as he jokingly honked her nose and made her erupt into a fit of giggles!

We know the X-Factor head hauncho loves leggy brunettes, so we have no doubt their relationship is anything but professional, but it seems his natural charm is undeniable even to his employees!

The blonde PR girl has been with the King of Mean for almost a decade, and when asked why he chose her as his rep, the British lothario explained how her style compliments his outlook on fame.

"She understands the relationship that I like to have with the media - a close one. A lot of publicists treat the media like enemies, which is ridiculous because the media makes you. She respects press," he revealed to The Hollywood Reporter.

Chelsea Clinton Revealed She Is Pregnant With Her First Child

Chelsea Clinton announced she was pregnant with her first child during the No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project event in New York City today.

The 34-year-old praised her mother Hillary, who was by her side, while revealing the happy news.

"One more thing to say very quickly. Mark and I are very excited that we have our first child arriving later this year. I certainly feel all the better whether it's a girl or a boy that they'll grow up in a world with so many strong female leaders…"

"I just hope that I will be as good a mom to my child and hopefully children as mom was to me," she told the crowd as husband Marc Mezvinsky looked on proudly from the audience.

The pair were married in July 2010, and this will be the first child for both.

Rosie O'Donnell Shows Off 50lb Weight Loss in New TwitPic

Comedian and actress Rosie O'Donnell showed off her impressive 50 pound weight loss in a new TwitPic on Thursday, posting a before and after shot of her face. Sporting slimmer-cheeks and light makeup, O'Donnell looks pretty good.

"Almost 50 lbs off - I can see it now," she captioned the candid snap.

The former "View" host spoke at an event for the American Heart Association in February, where she revealed that she dropped from 230 pounds to 190 after having weight-loss surgery in the summer of 2013.

At the time, Rosie -- who suffered a heart attack in 2012 -- said he had lost 40 pounds and doctors recommended she drop another 40.

The 52-year-old will look great for her return to "The View" to celebrate Barbara Walter's retirement from daytime TV on May 19. All 11 co-hosts of the show are set to stop by to help say goodbye.

'Mrs. Doubtfire' Is Getting A Sequel

Fox 2000 is ready to have more hot flashes.

The studio is developing a sequel to the 1993 hit Mrs. Doubtfire, which would reunite director Chris Columbus and star Robin Williams.

David Berenbaum, who wrote Elf, is writing the script.

Mrs. Doubtfire starred Williams as a struggling actor and recently divorced father of three who, in order to be closer to his children, takes on the persona of a Scottish nanny, Euphegenia Doubtfire.

Hilarity, misunderstandings and family love ensued to the tune of $219 million domestically and $222 million internationally. Williams won a Golden Globe in the best actor in a musical/comedy category while the movie won the Globe for best comedy/musical.

A sequel has been in the works since 2001 when Bonnie Hunt was tapped to write a script, but despite many drafts and other scribes hired, the project slowly died and has been inactive for years, mainly due to Columbus and Williams not sparking to any new take.

The project became active again early this year with Berenbaum’s involvement and while it’s too soon to predict if all the elements will ultimately come together, Williams and Columbus are attached and hopeful about the outcome.

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Just two and a half years after buying this 4,800 square foot home in Los Feliz for $2.82 million, Jack Osbourne has listed it for $2.998 million. The home was built in 1926, and though some sites are reporting that Jack flipped it, it turns out the pad was renovated just before he moved in.

The Spanish-style home has four bedrooms and four bathrooms, and while the large kitchen and flooring is stunning, it's the sunny courtyard and dipping pool that make us want to move in.

Tori Spelling Reveals She Hasn't Had Sex With Cheating Husband Dean McDermott Since December

Tori Spelling is speaking out about the state of her marriage to husband Dean McDermott in the wake of his cheating scandal and subsequent trip to rehab, and the mother-of-four is extremely candid as she explains their fractured relationship.

    "If I can't ever let my guard down again, then there can't always be a relationship. I always said, 'If he ever cheated on me I would be out of there!' Whether I can ever trust him again. That's the big question," she told Us Weekly.

The former 90210 actress confessed that they had not had sex since December, and that the Canadian actor had not moved back into their Encino home, but rather stays over at her discretion to maintain normalcy for the kids.

    "There are children involved. I need to try to figure this out. You don't stop loving someone because they do something really bad to you. It makes you not trust anything that's happened in your relationship. But until I figure that out, I don't want the kids to know any different," she explained.

All the tension and drama will play out on their new reality show True Tori, but she revealed how she found out the devastating news the father of her children had slept with someone else.

    "He didn't want to get graphic. I didn't want him to. We kept it to the facts. It wasn't about feelings. I listened and made sure I didn't show emotion. I didn't cry. He didn't cry. He sounded remorseful. He sounded like a husband who had gotten caught," she divulged.

Will Arnett Files For Divorce From Amy Poehler

"Arrested Development" star Will Arnett has officially filed for divorce from Amy Poehler ... nearly two years after the couple separated.

According to court documents, Arnett wants joint legal and physical custody of their two sons aged 5 and 3. He also wants visitation.

43-year-old Arnett and 42--year-old Poehler got married in 2003.

Since they separated, Arnett has reportedly been dating Billy Joel's ex-wife Katie Lee and Poehler has been linked to comedian Nick Kroll.

This is Arnett's second divorce and Poehler's first.

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas Make First Public Appearance Together Since Break

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have made their reconciliation red carpet official.

On Tuesday night, the couple stepped out for opening night of "The Library" at The Public Theater in New York City. The 44-year-old "Red 2" star looked stunning in a long black dress with a plunging neckline and showed off her newish blunt bangs while Douglas, 69, rocked a suit sans tie.

It gives us warm fuzzies to see Douglas and Zeta-Jones together publicly because it's been almost a year since their last red carpet appearance — at the 40th Anniversary Chaplin Award Gala last April 22. Soon after, the Welsh actress went to a treatment center to help to control her bipolar II disorder, something she has been very candid about over the years, and they endured a rocky period from there, culminating in "some time apart" in the summer.

But their rep had said they were doing "work on their marriage" and apparently they were. They soon started popping up places together: They spent time with their kids in Manhattan in December, rang in the New Year on a family ski trip in Canada, and even attended the Super Bowl together in February.

Jenny McCarthy Gets Engaged To Donnie Wahlberg

Jenny McCarthy revealed on "The View" on Wednesday morning that she is engaged to her boyfriend of eight months, Donnie Wahlberg.

"It's a yellow sapphire," the host explained while unveiling her hidden hand from behind the desk.

McCarthy cried as she talked about the proposal and how her 11-year-old son, Evan, helped with the surprise.

"This weekend I was sitting with Donnie... and he went into the other room and out came Evan with a card that said 'Will,'" an emotional McCarthy revealed. "And then Evan ran away, then [he] came back with a card that said 'You,' and I knew what was happening and I just started crying. And then [he] came out with a card that said 'Marry,' but it was spelled wrong, 'Mary,' and the last time Donnie came out with Evan and Donnie's shirt said 'Me?' and he was holding the ring."

"He asked, 'Will you marry me?' and I of course said yes. And in that moment, Evan yelled, 'I have another dad! I have another dad.' And it was just — it made all of us cry," McCarthy said. "I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. He's so wonderful."

Wahlberg then ran out from backstage and surprised McCarthy, planting a kiss on his bride-to-be.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

'Fast 7' Recruits Paul Walker's Brothers To Finish Late Actor's Scenes

"Fast & Furious 7" has found a way to go on shooting without Paul Walker.

By using his brothers.

The "Fast 7" filmmakers announced today on Facebook that Paul's two younger siblings, Cody and Caleb Walker, are on the film set to help finish some of the late actor's action scenes. Production was halted when Walker died in a fiery car crash last Nov. — just weeks after he attended Caleb's wedding as his best man (see above photo). 

Cody Walker, in his mid-twenties and the youngest of the three Walker brothers, is a trained paramedic and now works with is late brother's Reach Out Worldwide charity. Caleb Walker is in his late thirties.

"Fast 7" filming resumed just a few weeks ago.

Chelsea Handler Has Eyes On CBS

Chelsea Handler is fanning the late night talk show flames, posting a photo on Instagram of her holding a pile of CBS papers -- which she termed a "business meeting."

Handler appears to be the next domino that will fall in the late night shuffle. She's leaving E! and the big buzz going around is that she'll replace Craig Ferguson, who is no doubt none too happy he didn't get David Letterman's gig.

We're told that as of last week, no decisions have been made at CBS or by Handler.

Craig Ferguson Faces Uncertain Future At CBS with David Letterman Gone

 

“Late Late Show” host Craig Ferguson may not return to CBS when his contract expires next year, sources are reporting.

According to sources, Ferguson has lost his champion with David Letterman’s retirement. He also wasn’t among those seriously considered as replacements for Letterman because network executives believe his talk show’s focus is “too narrow,” and the show hasn’t become a ratings draw.

Ferguson, whose contract expires in June 2015, has a clause that will pay him as much as $10 million if he doesn't get Letterman’s perch when he steps down, the piece notes.

Ferguson’s show is actually controlled by Worldwide Pants, Letterman’s production company, but with “Letterman out of the picture next year, Ferguson is negotiating with CBS instead of Letterman’s production company as he has in the past. And CBS isn’t negotiating back,” the story reports.

CBS has announced that Letterman's "Late Show" spot will be taken over by Stephen Colbert, as we reported previously.

Walt Disney's Palm Desert Home Listed For $535K

 CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE

Walt Disney's former Palm Desert retreat is for sale for a very reasonable $535K. Although the house itself leaves something to be desired, the 2.7 acres of land with sweeping views of the Coachella Valley is worth every penny.

The modest estate boasts 1,400 square-feet of living space and 1 bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms. Not that sleeping quarters were all that important to the Disneyland founder, because during most of his visits he and his pals would sleep outside under the stars in sleeping bags!

Leonardo DiCaprio Doesn't Know How To Dance

Like most celebs, Leo didn’t want to be noticed at Coachella this year. Which makes it strange that he allowed a shot of him (in disguise) to be tweeted around the world. News got out, and someone inevitably filmed him dancing to MGMT and fully capturing his awkward dance.

Watch his bad dancing skills in the video below....

'CSI' Star Totals His SUV After Bus Stop Crash

Former "CSI" star Jose Zuniga's white SUV is in pieces -- after his car crashed through a bus stop in Hollywood moments ago.

Zuniga -- who has also appeared in pretty much every other TV show you've ever seen says, he was rear-ended ... and the other car sent him careening through a nearby bus stop. He landed in a construction area. We're told a third car was also involved, but damage to the other cars wasn't as bad.

We're told no one was injured. The fire department responded to the scene shortly afterward.

The Pope & Jared Leto: Palm Sunday Selfies

One talks about Jesus, the other just looks like him ... but on Palm Sunday, Pope Francis and Jared Leto were joined together through the incredible power of the selfie.

Pope Francis was in St. Peter's Square -- a massive plaza located directly in front of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City -- greeting fans following a service for more than 100,000 people.

Meanwhile in Coachella, Leto posed for photos with his many followers during the weekend festival.

All these photos are missing is a donkey and some branches.

Harrison Ford: I Would Be 'Very Anxious' To Return For 'Blade Runner' Sequel

Harrison Ford has completed a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, in which he reminisced about being offered a part in 1977's Star Wars, confirmed his interest in a possible Blade Runner sequel, and revealed that the man who plays Indiana Jones does indeed like snakes.

The actor is heavily rumored to be at work on the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII, but did not confirm during the course of the Q&A session whether he would be returning to play suave smuggler Han Solo. He did, however, discuss another of his most famous roles, saying he was "curious and excited" about the prospect of a second Blade Runner movie. Ford, who played protagonist Deckard in the 1982 sci-fi classic, said he would be "anxious" to work with director Ridley Scott again, provided the script for a possible sequel was good. Scott was reported to be in talks about a sequel to Blade Runner in 2012, but few hard details have surfaced.

Ford said he would be "anxious" to work with Ridley Scott on a 'Blade Runner' sequel

Ford also shared a range of stories from his lengthy career. Some of his most famous scenes and quotes — such as the "I know" response to Carrie Fisher's "I love you" in The Empire Strikes Back — are famously regarded as ad-libs. The actor clarified their origin, saying that the new lines were suggestions he floated during the filming process rather than total surprises to the cast and director. When asked about his most outlandish injury, he recalled tearing a ligament in his knee after being run over by an airplane on the set of the first Indiana Jones movie, but could not recall which knee was injured. He was also asked to clarify whether Han Solo or Greedo shot first in Star Wars IV: A New Hope. Ford, well-known for his gruff responses during interviews, offered a pitch-perfect reply: "I don't know and I don't care."

Zac Efron may not have kept his earlier promise to accept his MTV Movie Award sans shirt, but no matter – presenter Rita Ora was quick to assist.

The Neighbors star, 26, had Tweeted, "If I beat Thor [Chris Hemsworth] – I'm accepting the award shirtless on stage" back in March, but when the moment finally came Sunday night, Efron's button-down remained firmly in place.

As the audience heckled him, Ora snuck up behind Efron and did the honors, ripping his shirt down to the navel to reveal that the actor had in fact been working on his fitness.

Kate Upton Hates Her Big Beautiful Breasts

Kate Upton says she hates her own boobs.

Upton told The Sun in Britain she wishes for a smaller rack everyday ... because of her love for things like going braless in a spaghetti string top and wearing small bikinis.

She adds, "Every single day, I'm like, 'Oh, man, it would be so much easier,' especially if people didn't constantly bring them up." This coming from the girl who constantly flaunts her boobs in magazines like Sports Illustrated, Vogue and Vanity Fair and made a fortune off her floaters.

Box Office: ‘Captain America’ Skyrockets Past ‘Rio 2'

“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” surged on Saturday to post a $41.4 million come-from-behind victory over the 3D animated family musical “Rio 2,” and post its second straight weekend win at the box office. It looked as if it would be one-and-done at No. 1 for Disney's Marvel superhero sequel after “Rio 2,” from Fox's Blue Sky Studios, surprisingly took the lead on Friday.

And with families expected to provide a Saturday-Sunday bump, the singing parrots — voiced by Anne Hathaway and Jesse Eisenberg — appeared to have the inside track.

We broke the story ... waitress Karina Bustillos filed suit ... claiming a manager at Vanderpump's restaurant, Villa Blanca tried to kiss her, called her a "c***," and violently grabbed her wrists. Bustillos says she complained to Vanderpump ... who refused to do anything about it.
