'Duck Dynasty' -- Phil Robertson Suspension is Over ... Says A&E

The "Duck Dynasty" war with A&E is over -- the network just announced Phil Robertson is no longer suspended ... and filming will resume in a few months.

The network says their strong sense of integrity caused them to react quickly to Phil's GQ interview ... and after consulting with numerous advocacy groups they made a decision to bring him back.

The network adds, "As a global media content company, A&E Networks’ core values are centered around creativity, inclusion and mutual respect. We believe it is a privilege for our brands to be invited into people’s home and we operate with a strong sense of integrity and deep commitment to these principles."

The network says they plan to roll out a new PSA campaign on their network in the wake of what happened ... promoting unity, tolerance and acceptance. A&E adds, "Duck Dynasty is not a show about one man's views. It resonates with a large audience because it is a show about family… a family that America has come to love."

‘The Hobbit,’ ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ Top Christmas Box Office

Leading the Christmas Day derby, Warner Bros.’ “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” collected $9.3 million, followed closely by Paramount’s newcomer “The Wolf of Wall Street,” which grossed $9.2 million opening day.

The crowded holiday fray has no fewer than eight films bowing or expanding nationwide through Friday, including “Wolf,” as well as Fox’s “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” which landed in forth place on Wednesday, grossing $7.8 million (behind “Anchorman 2,” with $8.1 million).
Also bowing midweek were Universal’s “47 Ronin” and Warner’s “Grudge Match,” which made $7 million and $4 million, respectively.

Neither is a solid start, especially for the former film, which looks to be a big financial flop given its lofty $175 million-plus budget. That said, “Ronin” received a better-than-expected ‘B+’ CinemaScore rating. Pic’s international prospects are troubling also considering it failed to catch on in Japan, where the samurai tentpole is set; it’s made $10 million overseas so far.

Report: Dean McDermott Cheats On Tori Spelling With 28-Year-Old

While some may have enjoyed holiday festivities with their loved ones this Christmas, we doubt Tori Spelling and her husband of seven years Dean McDermott had such a merry day. Reports have surfaced that Dean cheated on the mother of his four children with a Canadian woman earlier this month.

While promoting his new show Chopped Canada in Toronto on Dec. 6, the 47-year-old invited a woman whom he had met that day, 28-year-old Emily Goodhand, up to his hotel room at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel and the two had sex, Goodhand told Us Weekly.

"He told me he and Tori had a sexless marriage," said Goodhand, who also said she stayed with him the following night. "I believed him."

Well Miss Goodhand -- they do have four children together -- so clearly that's not entirely true.

Reps for McDermott and Spelling had no comment about the infidelity claims.

Spelling, 40, and McDermott, 47, were married in 2006 and have four children, Liam, 6, Stella, 5, Hattie, 2, and Finn, 16 months.

Jesse Jackson Phil Robertson Is Worse Than Rosa Parks' Bus Driver

Phil Robertson's homophobic comments to GQ were MORE OFFENSIVE than the words uttered by bus driver who tried to force Rosa Parks to sit on the back of his bus in 1955 ... so says civil rights leader Jesse Jackson.

Jackson came out firing against the "Duck Dynasty" star this week ... explaining, "These statements uttered by Robertson are more offensive than the bus driver in Montgomery, Alabama, more than 59 years ago."

"At least the bus driver, who ordered Rosa Parks to surrender her seat to a white person, was following state law. Robertson’s statements were uttered freely and openly without cover of the law, within a context of what he seemed to believe was 'white privilege.'"

Jackson is demanding a meeting with A&E and Cracker Barrel execs ... and even issued a Friday deadline ... urging the network to uphold Robertson’s suspension from the reality show.

Unclear if the network plans to honor Jackson's demand.

Leonardo DiCaprio Takes Acting Lesson From YouTube Video

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio took inspiration from a YouTube video to make his act look more convincing in his latest offering "The Wolf of Wall Street".

For a particular scene, when DiCaprio's character Jordan Belfort indulges in drugs overdose, he loses senses to walk and is required to crawl up to his car by himself.

To make the scene dramatic and funny, the "Titanic" star took inspiration from a YouTube video titled "The World's Drunkest Man". DiCaprio aped the man in the video to get near perfection for the scene, said a statement.

Earlier this week, Khloe Kardashian and rumored boyfriend Matt Kemp hit the gym in Beverly Hills, and while they left separately, they were definitely there sweating it out at the same time!

Matt later headed to a medical center nearby, and it's being reported that the MLB star will be joining Khloe and the rest of her family later tonight for a big bash at casa de Kardashian. Kemp, along with 200 other guests will be at the party, according to Radar.

“Don’t expect Khloe and Matt to be huddled in a corner off by themselves as they know people are talking about them dating….at this point, they are taking things very slow," a source for the website dished. "Khloe is still extremely sad about the end of her marriage to Lamar Odom, but she had moved on several months ago.”

I mean, he DID Instagram a photo of the Kardashian family's Christmas tree the other day, but until we see a pic of Khloe kissing him, we're not sure that we believe they're an item.
