Chelsea Handler Leaks Her Own Naked Photo

Chelsea Handler wants to get ahead of the celebrity photo-leaking scandal.

During an appearance of "The Late Show" on Friday, the comedienne showed David Letterman a very revealing photo, where she's exposing her left breast as she sits on a scooter in Spain.

"I see now how you're able to use the language barrier to overcome difficulties in hooking up," the late night host said.

"Why would you do that," he asked. "I mean, I'm not against it, but why would you do that!? ... Not many of our guests bring in photos that are that candid."

"There's a photo leaking scandal, and I wanted to get ahead of it," the former "Chelsea Lately" host explained.

Jennifer Lopez And Reese Witherspoon Are Ravishing In Red At Variety's Power Of Women Luncheon

Jennifer Lopez and Reese Witherspoon walked the red carpet at Variety's Power of Women luncheon today, and the two beauties turned heads in red dresses that showed off their superstar bods! We wonder if they coordinated these looks?

The singer was recognized for establishing the Lopez Family Foundation, which aims to help improve healthcare for women and children. "Very early after my twins were born, my daughter developed this bump on the back of her head. So I rushed to the hospital, and it was the middle of the night and the doctor met me there. And I had all these privileges, which wasn’t lost on me. I went back that night and thought, 'What if I didn’t have that? What if something was really wrong with her?'," she explained. Other nominees included Jane Fonda, Viola Davis and Donna Langley.

Shia LaBeouf Admits To "Some Judgement Errors" And Promises To Wear Neon Pink Spandex

Shia LaBeouf appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today, and not only does he come across as incredibly charming, but it really seems like he's in a better place after all the drama he's been through in the last year.

"Man, I went through like an existential crisis," he candidly states. "Which turned into some explorations. I had some hiccups, some judgment errors." So what about him sticking a bag on his head and letting fans come visit with him and say whatever they wanted?

The 28-year-old actor tells Ellen:

"Yeah, there was a lot of negativity online. So I thought alright, well let’s see what all this negativity is all about. Let’s invite it in. I was sitting there with a bag over my head in this room. And we had these one on one situation where we’d invite one person at a time and they can do whatever they wanted and there was also this bowl of these really malicious tweets. So people would come in and read them. I was sitting in there broken. I was really truly apologetic so I was sort of like apologizing to the public in a way. So I thought for sure people were gonna come in and be super mean from what I’d been reading. But it wasn’t’ that way at all it was very human. Once they got in there everything changed. They stopped looking at me as like an object they started looking at me as like a human and they were very loving. It was really human."

Katy Perry To Perform At Super Bowl Xlix Halftime Show

Katy Perry will perform at this year's Super Bowl halftime show, sources confirm to Billboard.
Perry's performance has been speculated since August after the National Football League had reportedly shortlisted her along with Coldplay and Rihanna, who saw the use of her song "Run This Town" with Jay Z axed in a segment during the wake of the Ray Rice scandal.

The news of those three contenders also came with word that the league was asking those artists under consideration to pay to play, since last year's broadcast drew a record-setting 111.5 million viewers and previous performers have all seen significant boosts in sales, touring and public profile.

Ellen DeGeneres Silences Nicole Richie With A Mouthful Of Marshmallows

Nicole Richie appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today, and the 33-year-old reformed party princess talked about the new season of Candidly Nicole, but thankfully Ellen kept the chatter to a minimum when she convinced the starlet to stuff handfuls of marshmallows in her mouth.

Nicole broke the record for the most marshmallows stuffed into a guest's mouth in 45 seconds, and Ellen awarded the starlet with a marshmallow crown and sash.

'Saturday Night Live' Stalwart Jan Hooks Dead At 57

Jan Hooks, whose Hillary Clinton and Tammy Faye Bakker were hallmarks of Saturday Night Live in the late '80s, has died. She was 57.

Hooks's agency confirmed that the comedian died early Thursday of an undisclosed cause.

During her five-year SNL stint, Hooks was part of an ensemble that included Mike Myers, Phil Hartman, Dana Carvey, Kevin Nealon, Chris Farley, Dennis Miller, and her fellow Sweeney Sister, Nora Dunn.

A reliable supporting sketch comic, Hooks was best known for her spot-on impressions of mascara-melting Bakker, Clinton, Bette Davis, and Sinéad O'Connor during her 1986-91 run on the late-night comedy show. Her character Brenda the waitress later became a template for her guest role on 30 Rock, playing the gold-digging Verna Maloney, mother to Jane Krakowski's Jenna.

Hooks also appeared in a handful of films, including Tim Burton's Batman Returns and, most notably, Pee-wee's Big Adventure. She delivered one of the movie's catchphrases: "There's no basement in the Alamo!"

Following her run on SNL, Hooks co-starred on Designing Women, and did recurring work on 3rd Rock From the Sun. Her last credited on-screen work was on 30 Rock.

Gwyneth Paltrow And Demi Moore Step Out For Charity

Gwyneth Paltrow and Demi Moore were just a few of the celebs that came out for the fifth annual PSLA Autumn Party benefiting Children's Institute last night in L.A., and the actresses looked amazing as they posed for photos on the red carpet.

If the Striptease star is upset about her ex-husband Ashton Kutcher welcoming a daughter with Mila Kunis, she certainly wasn't showing it. Although, reports claim the brunette bombshell has accepted that her former beau has moved on, and has decided to take the high road. "Demi is putting the past behind her now, she is in total acceptance now. She ultimately has great love for Ashton and has accepted the fact that he is in love with Mila and that they are starting a family," a source dished out.

Ben Affleck Targeted By Conservatives After Islamism Spat With Bill Maher

Ever since Ben Affleck appeared Friday on Real Time With Bill Maher and accused the host of Islamophobia, the Gone Girl actor has been a whipping boy to the political right, while left-leaning organizations like Media Matters for America and Council on American-Islamic Relations have come to his defense.

During Friday’s show, Affleck bristled at the notion posited by Maher and atheist author Sam Harris that there’s something wrong with Islamic culture, given mistreatment of gays and women and videotaped beheadings of journalists and aid-workers conducted by Islamic State.

“Why are you so hostile about this?” Maher asked Affleck.

“Because it’s gross. It’s racist ... it’s like saying, 'Oh you shifty Jew’” said Affleck.

"We have to be able to criticize bad ideas,” added Harris. “Islam at the moment is the mother lode of bad ideas.”

“Jesus Christ!” said Affleck. “It’s not a fact. It’s just an ugly thing to say.”

Jay Leno Nears Deal To Launch CNBC Show

Jay Leno is lining up his first regular television hosting gig since leaving The Tonight Show in February, and he's staying in the NBCUniversal family.

Leno is close to a deal to host a new show for cable network CNBC, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The show will focus on Leno's longtime love of cars and will air in primetime, not late night.
Landing Leno is a coup for CNBC. The network, known for financial news, has been trying to broaden its viewership by airing reality shows like The Profit and Restaurant Startup in primetime. Its biggest draw is reruns of financial game show Shark Tank, which have performed very well for the network.

Leno, 64, has been looking for the right home since he passed the Tonight Show baton to Jimmy Fallon before the Winter Olympics in February. Sources say he was courted by several outlets, including CNN, A&E, History and the Tribune stations. But Leno has been loyal to NBC (his car-themed web series Jay's Garage is still hosted on NBC.com), and he has a relationship with CNBC president Mark Hoffman. CNBC aired a Jay's Garage special over the Labor Day weekend called Jay's Garage: The Ultimate Car Week.

"Ghostbusters 3" Confirmed -- Director Says Movie Will Star Women

Bridesmaids director Paul Feig took to Twitter today to confirm that a new Ghostbusters movie is underway!

He wrote, "It's official. I'm making a new Ghostbusters & writing it with@katiedippold & yes, it will star hilarious women. That's who I'm gonna call." Deep cleansing breaths.

The highly anticipated third installment in the franchise hasn't begun production quite yet, but Dippold—who wrote Feig's The Heat—is now the latest to be attached to the project.

The announcement comes just weeks after Bill Murray revealed who he would like to see star in the third flick to the Toronto Star.

Jodie Foster Sells Hollywood Hills Home For $4.99 Million

Jodie Foster just sold her Hollywood Hills home for $4.99 million. The actress first listed it in June 2013 for $6.3 million, and then slashed the asking price the following September by $400K, so the new owner got quite the deal!

Located on the famed "Bird Streets" above the Sunset Strip, the abode boasts 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The Silence of the Lambs star purchased the property in 1997 and has done extensive renovations to the place over the years, including updating the kitchen, media room, and master suite.

Stephen Collins And Faye Grant: $14 Million On The Line In Divorce

Stephen Collins is accusing his wife of being behind his child molestation revelations because she's using it screw to him in their divorce ... and now we know there is A LOT of money on the line.

Faye Grant filed legal docs -- obtained by sources -- in which she lists their assets, which she says total more than $14 million. Grant says she wants half, but Collins' people say, she wants pretty much everything.

As for the assets, the most interesting is the smallest. Collins appeared on "Scandal," and only pocketed $7,682.

Jennifer Lawrence On Phone Hacking: ‘It Is Not a Scandal, It Is a Sex Crime’

Apart from a brief statement from her spokeswoman, Jennifer Lawrence has refrained from publicly addressing her nude photo hack over Labor Day weekend. That changes with this month's Vanity Fair cover story, in which Lawrence has strong words for the hackers who stole her photos, the web sites who spread them, and the millions who viewed them. "It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime," Lawrence told writer Sam Kashner. "I started to write an apology, but I don't have anything to say I'm sorry for."

Just as disappointing as the hacking, Lawrence says, was the fact that people she trusted had no qualms about looking at the pictures. "Anyone who looked at those photos, you're perpetuating a sexual offense. You should cower with shame. Even people who I know and love say, 'Oh, yeah, I looked at the pictures.' I don't want to get mad, but at the same time I'm thinking, I didn't tell you that you could look at my naked body."

Tony-Winning Broadway Great Marian Seldes Dies At 86

Tony-winning actress Marian Seldes, regarded as one of the great ladies of the American stage and famed for never missing a single performance during an entire four-year Broadway run of "Deathtrap," died her Manhattan home on Monday at age 86.

Her death, which followed a prolonged illness, was announced by her brother, Timothy Seldes, in a statement issued through a longtime publicist, Sam Rudy.

'7th Heaven' Dad Stephen Collins Confesses On Tape To Child Molestation NYPD Investigating

Stephen Collins -- who played the pastor/dad on "7th Heaven" -- confessed to his estranged wife he was a child molester, and it's all on tape ... a tape obtained by sources. And the New York Police Dept. is now conducting an active criminal investigation involving sexual contact with multiple children.

Collins -- who is in the middle of a nasty, prolonged divorce with actress Faye Grant -- revealed to her in 2012 he had molested and/or exposed himself to several underage girls years before. Collins and Grant went to a therapist where she peppered him with questions about the incidents ... and he not only answered, he was specific.

Here's what Collins didn't know at the time. Grant taped the therapy session. We're told her lawyer advised her it was legal to secretly record the conversation because in California you're allowed to secretly record conversations to gather evidence the other person committed a violent felony ... and molesting a child under the age of 14 qualifies.

Almost Every Single Detail About Apple's Next iPad May Have Just Leaked

Technology columnist Michael Andrew and his team at The Michael Report say they have obtained photos and illustrations of the second-generation iPad Air from sources within Apple.

The report closely lines up with rumors we've heard about Apple's coming iPad, which is expected to debut on Oct. 16. Andrew didn't publish the pictures, but he did describe some of the design differences in as much detail as possible. Here's an overview of the changes outlined in his post:

LeBron James Lists His Miami Mansion For $17 Million

After leaving the Miami Heat earlier this year and heading to Cleveland, Ohio to play for the Cavaliers, LeBron James has finally listed his Miami mansion for a whopping $17 million.

The 12,000-square-foot oceanfront home has 6 bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms, and while the lot isn't enormous (it's a paltry .46 acres), the property has amenities fit for a king. I mean, they do call him King James, you know.

Mark Wahlberg's Beverly Park Mansion Is Finally Complete

Mark Wahlberg's massive home in Beverly Park, CA is finally complete ... 30,000 square feet strong ... and it's twice as big as Tom Brady's house!

Wahlberg bought the six-acre property five years ago and had the house designed by architect to the stars Richard Landry, who also did Tom and Gisele's.

The home has a lot, including a library, wine cellar and a wood-paneled home theater, a rock formation pool with two jacuzzis, a slide, and get this ... a diving board!

And if you feel like playing sports ... there's a putting green and a basketball court.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Lets His Girlfriend Drive His Two Million Dollar Car

Arnold Schwarzenegger looked pretty calm for a guy sitting in the passenger seat ... while his girlfriend Heather Milligan was in the driver's seat of his custom Bugatti Veyron sports car over the weekend.

No biggie. It's only worth around $2,000,000.

That is love. And it's also why people have insurance. Lots of it.

Watch Sarah Silverman Play Joan Rivers on "Saturday Night Live"

Joan Rivers returned to "Saturday Night Live" last night, thanks to guest host Sarah Silverman.

The show gave tribute to the late comedian in a sketch that welcomed her to heaven, where she performed on the "Celestial Stage" alongside Richard Pryor, Eartha Kitt, Eve Gardner, Freddie Mercury Lucille Ball, Steve Jobs and Benjamin Franklin.

The skit featured Silverman as the former "Fashion Police" host, roasting other celebs who have passed on.

Theatre Owners Are Angry About Interstellar's 'Film First' Initiative

Excited for Interstellar? A lot of people are - except a growing contingent of Theatre owners angry about Christopher Nolan's decision to have the awesome-looking sci-fi movie début early in Cinemas that can show it through analog projectors.

As revealed at the end of last week's trailer, Cinemas capable of showing the movie in 70mm, 70mm IMAX or 35mm film formats will get access to the movie two days ahead of the November 7th release date. Nolan himself has been a long proponent of shooting on film over digital formats: a growing rarity in modern cinema as Film projectors are phased out for digital alternatives, and movie studios are slowly but surely phasing out sending film reels to Cinemas (ironically, Interstellar's distributors Paramount were the first Studio to completely stop distributing film reels as of earlier this year). Most American cinemas have undergone the expensive process of being refitted with digital projectors by now - hence why certain Cinema owners are getting concerned over preferential treatment being given to Film-capable franchises.

Paul Revere, '60s Rocker And Leader of the Raiders, Dies At 76

Paul Revere, leader of the 1960s rock band Paul Revere and the Raiders, died Saturday at his home in Idaho, the band's website reported. He was 76.

Revere -- whose birth name was Paul Revere Dick, according to a biography on the Internet Movie Database -- was frontman for the band that often performed in three-cornered hats and other clothing harking back to the Ameican Revolution.

Revere was born in Nebraska and played in bands in Idaho and Oregon, according to a tribute on the band website written by Roger Hart, who managed the group in the early days. Hart said he took the band to Hollywood and signed them to a deal with CBS/Columbia Records.

The band recorded a string of hits in the 1960s and early 1970s, including "Kicks," "Hungry" and "Indian Reservation." Revere, the band's organist, had a hyperactive effervescent stage personality and came to be known as "the madman of rock 'n' roll."

Bruce Jenner Lets His Hair Down For The Elton John Concert

Bruce Jenner changed his look up for the Elton John concert in L.A. Saturday night.

Bruce went to the show with his son Brandon Jenner and Brandon's wife. Another random girl tagged along ... but no word on who she is ... or if it was any sort of date.

Bruce and Kris Jenner made their split official last month when Kris filed for divorce.

In case you haven't been to an Elton John concert ... that's the place you let your ponytail down.

Box Office: ‘Gone Girl,’ ‘Annabelle’ Stun With Big Debuts

“Gone Girl” and “Annabelle” enjoyed sizzling debut weekends, as David Fincher’s adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s best-seller racked up $38 million and “The Conjuring” spin-off scared up $37.2 million.

It was a neck-and-neck race for first place and it’s possible that when the final numbers are tallied, the two pictures could end up swapping places. Regardless of who wears the crown, the films’ debuts continue a fall box office turnaround following a devastating summer for the movie business. The overall box office was up nearly 20% from the same weekend a year ago when “Gravity” lifted off to $55.8 million.

Ben Affleck Slams Bill Maher For "Racist," "Ugly" Views In Heated Islam Debate

Ben Affleck and Bill Maher clearly have differing views on Islam. 

The Gone Girl star appeared on Friday's Real Time With Bill Maher, and the two sparred when Affleck felt Maher and guest Sam Harris were painting an overly broad and negative picture of those who practice Islam.

Affleck did not appreciate Harris' comment that Americans have been "sold this meme of Islamophobia." Affleck responded by asking Harris, "Hold on — are you the person who officially understands the codified doctrine of Islam?"

"It's gross, it's racist," Affleck added about Maher and Harris' remarks. "It's like saying, 'Oh, you shifty Jew.' " Maher told Affleck that he wasn't actually listening to them.

Harris said Islam is currently the "motherload of bad ideas," with which Maher agreed, leading Affleck to counter: "It's just an ugly thing to say."

Heidi Klum Keeps It Friendly With Ex-Husband Seal At Their Kids' Soccer Game

 

Heidi Klum and Seal may be divorced, but they're all about keeping it civil! Especially when their four kids are concerned...

On Saturday Heidi and her ex-husband met up in Brentwood to cheer on their children at soccer, and the former spouses sat next to each other, chatted and they even shared a smooch at one point during the game.

But don't go starting the reconciliation rumors -- Heidi is still more than happy with her much younger beau Vito Schnabel, and we're not sure who Seal is dating these days, but he's clearly moved on as well.

Maybe he's just happy that Heidi is no longer "fornicating with the help," as he once so eloquently put it? Heidi's relationship with the family's former bodyguard, Martin Kristen, fizzled in January, shortly before she starting going out with Vito.
