Chelsea Handler Gets Naked With Ellen Degeneres, Invites Famous Friends On For Chelsea Lately Series Finale


Chelsea Handler got up close and personal with Ellen DeGeneres in a video that was featured during Chelsea Lately's series finale.

The 39-year-old said goodbye to her long-running late night show with a bevy of famous faces, including Jennifer Aniston, Miley Cyrus, Sandra Bullock and 50 Cent. In another segment, Handler had on three lady guests, Aniston, Bullock and Mary McCormack, who all appeared on her first episode.

But we have to say Ellen's cameo was our favorite part! The hilarious sketch opens with the nude funny lady entering the Chelsea Lately "staff showers." The rinse off is quickly interrupted Handle by DeGeneres, who seems miffed about not being asked to do the show. Previously, the topless host did shower scene gags with Bullock and Conan O'Brien. 

After filming the finale, Chelsea, Aniston, Bullock and McCarthy all dined at Craig's in West Hollywood. Girls' night out.

Ben Affleck's Muscles Are So Bulky He Can't Put His Arms Down


Ben Affleck stopped by the L'Ermitage hotel in Beverly Hills today, and we couldn't help but notice that the actor has taken beefing up for his Batman role so seriously that he can barely rest his arms by his side.

The Bostonian actor is already hard at work filming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, but he's going to be even busier these next couple months with his other film Gone Girl set to be released at the beginning of October. 

Kylie Jenner Tries Her Hand At Modeling

 
With her big sister Kendall taking the fashion industry by storm, Kylie Jenner has some pretty big pumps to fill, but this is a solid first attempt!

The 17-year-old reality TV starlet covers V Magazine's new issue, and not only does she strike some fierce poses, but she makes some deep revelations about life in the spotlight.

"We don’t even remember a time before the show and before the cameras and all that,” the youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan says. “It’s all kind of normal to us." As far as following in her famous family's shoes and getting along with them every step of the way, she admits that it's not easy. "I’m a Leo, and I relate to that," she says. "I’m not compatible with Scorpios—girls more than boys—but I live in a house with three of them: my mom, my dad, and Kendall.”

Aside from eating at Sugarfish and getting manicures, what are Kylie's other interests? “I’m obsessed with Instagram," she says. "Kendall showed it to me, and my mom was on Twitter before me, so I was kind of the last one in the family to get on social media."

Diane Sawyer Says Goodbye To ABC's 'World News'


Diane Sawyer will sign off on Wednesday night, a few days before her successor David Muir will officially take the helm.

ABC and Sawyer have made almost no fuss about her sign-off, seemingly employing the same strategy that worked when she took over for Charles Gibson just a few days before Christmas in 2009. There is no prime time retrospective or farewell tour planned -- merely a segment at the end of Wednesday's newscast.

Even the date of her last nightly broadcast was a semi-secret until she tweeted about it on Wednesday afternoon.

"See you tonight for my last night anchoring @ABCWorldNews -- great adventures ahead," she wrote.

As Sawyer alluded to with the tweet, she will be staying at ABC News, as a special correspondent of sorts, appearing on TV for big interviews and in-depth stories. She will still have an anchor title.

And it's not exactly fair to say she's leaving quietly, since "World News" has emerged victorious in the weekly ratings race after years in second place behind the "NBC Nightly News," anchored by Brian Williams.

Neighbors Congratulate Bryan Cranston On Emmy Win


Bryan Cranston is beloved by all his neighbors for playing a horrifying villain, and they let him know it by decorating the front of his house after his Emmy win.

After Bryan won for Best Actor ... the "Breaking Bad" star returned home to find balloons tied to his fencing and a handwritten note congratulating him.

But the thing is ... the note looks like it was written by neighborhood kids -- and we all know ... "Breaking Bad" is NOT fun family viewing.

Report: Apple Preparing To Release a Much Bigger iPad In Early 2015


Apple is working on an even bigger version of the iPad that it plans to launch next year, Bloomberg reports.

The new iPad will have a 12.9-inch screen. Today’s iPad Air has a 9.7-inch screen. The iPad Mini has a 7.85-inch screen. The big-screen iPad will launch in the first quarter of 2015, according to the report.

There have been rumors throughout Apple’s supply chain for months that the company was working on a larger version of the iPad. Some people have been calling it the iPad Pro. However, this report from Bloomberg is the most solid evidence we’ve had yet of such a device.

Meanwhile, Apple’s iPad business has been pretty sluggish. iPad sales growth has been declining. Last quarter, unit sales were down 9% on a year-over-year basis.

One way Apple is trying to reinvigorate iPad sales is by selling the devices to large companies through its new partnership with IBM. IBM will use its salesforce to sell iPads to large enterprises. It’ll also make enterprise apps for the tablets.

Leonardo DiCaprio Does The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge And Puts Other Celebs To Shame With $100,000 Donation


After being nominated by David Beckham, Leonardo DiCaprio is the latest celebrity to complete the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The actor also donated a whopping $100,000 on behalf of his organization, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, according to Us Weekly. And seeing as Leo is currently in Canada working on a documentary about climate change, he didn't exactly have the summer heat of Los Angeles to help him out. Current temps in the region he's in aren't even in the 70s!

P.S. We'd also like to commend Leo for flipping his phone sideways to shoot the video -- he might be the first celeb to post on Facebook who hasn't shot a clip vertically!

Richard Pryor Movie: Mike Epps Gets The Lead, Not Nick Cannon


Despite openly campaigning for the role of Richard Pryor in the upcoming biopic, Nick Cannon did not get the role ... Mike Epps did.

The film's director, Lee Daniels, posted a photo of himself, Oprah Winfrey and Epps ... with the caption, "And we're off... Get ready y'all for #richardpryor @eppsie @oprah"

Cannon was very outspoken about wanting the role, posting a pic on Instagram of himself and Pryor.

He'll just have to settle for landing the part of the ex Mr. Mariah Carey.
