QVC Responds to Fonda Cancellation, Ignores Issue

Image
7/17/2011 9:49 AM PDT by TMZ Staff   QVC is responding to Jane Fonda putting them on blast yesterday for unceremoniously dropping her from their airwaves -- but they are refusing to refute her claims it was over politics. Fonda posted a blog expressing her anger at the shopping network for canceling her appearance because, she claimed, they were caving to possible protests because of a 40-year-old Vietnam War faux pas.  The network released a statement today which completely ignores Fonda's claims, blaming it on a programming change and saying, "It’s not unusual to have a schedule change with our shows and guests with little or no notice." When pressed further, a rep for the network would only say, "I can’t speak to Ms. Fonda’s comments, other than to confirm that a change in scheduling resulted in her not appearing yesterday."

Bitch-Back! Is Justin Theroux's Ex the One We Should Be Feeling Sorry For?

Image
Carlos Alvarez/Getty Images; Rodin Banica/PatrickMcMullan.com/Sipa Press Dear Ted: You defended Jennifer Aniston by saying "it's totally different" with her and Justin Theroux because Justin wasn't married to his live-in GF, Heidi Bivens , and Brad and Jen were married when Brad left Jen for Angelina Jolie . Just because two people aren't married doesn't mean that their relationship isn't as significant as people who are married. Furthermore, Justin and his GF were in a relationship longer than Brad and Jen were together in total. I personally feel bad for Justin's ex who was totally left in the dust with the rug pulled out from under her. —L.M. Dear Big Love: Thanks for the lesson in romance. And I agree that Justin and Heidi's 14-year relationship shouldn't be overlooked. But if their relationship was so solid, he wouldn't have ditched her. Just sayin'. Ultimately, I do realize this same reasoning bounces right back to how things

Bravo: We NEVER Authorized 'Bible Housewives'

Image
7/18/2011 12:45 AM PDT by TMZ Staff   " The Real Housewives of the Bible " insist they answer to a Higher calling -- but now, the show's creator may also have to answer to Bravo ... because the network claims they NEVER signed off on the project. If you haven't seen the show ... it's because it went straight to DVD .... and it's also not a reality show ... but rather a scripted series with some seriously religious story lines. Problem is ... Bravo holds the trademark on the "Real Housewives" name ... and the network claims "Bible Housewives" creator Ty Adams never got permission to use it. A rep for the network tells TMZ ... "Bravo is in no way associated with this project" ... adding, "We vigorously protect our trademarks and take appropriate action when necessary." So far, it's unclear if Bravo has contacted Adams over the matter ... but it sounds like it's only a matter of time. Tags: Ty Adams, Real Housewiv

Rachel Returns Hush Money To Tiger, Threatens Gloria

7/18/2011 1:00 AM PDT by TMZ Staff   TMZ has learned ... Rachel Uchitel has given Tiger Woods back most of the settlement money he paid her ... and now Rachel is preparing to sue Gloria Allred , the lawyer who struck the deal, allegedly because Gloria sold her out for money. As TMZ reported, Gloria negotiated a $10 million settlement for Rachel ... just hours before Rachel was going to hold a tell-all news conference about Tiger Woods.  The settlement included a confidentiality agreement, which prohibited Rachel from talking about Tiger. We've learned the agreement stated ... if Rachel violated the confidentiality clause ... she would not only have to return the money she received but Tiger could sue her for damages as well. Sources tell TMZ ... several months ago Tiger's lawyer, Jay Lavely , contacted Gloria and said they were going after Rachel because they believed she violated the confidentiality agreement by allegedly speaking with TMZ and going on " Celebrity Reha

True Blood Recap: Sookie Attracts Abtastic Men!

Art Streiber/HBO Yeah, there was a little women's soccer game this Sunday—better luck next time, USA—but more importantly there was True Blood ! Human or otherwise, we're officially in the meat of the fourth season, and we're not about to miss any major moments with Sookie ( Anna Paquin ) and her hot love square. Seriously, this part-fairy's got every sexy supernatural panting at her feet. So what's the bloody dirt on this week's episode? RELATED: True Blood 's Alexander Skarsgård Transforms From Vampire to Viking! The Witches Are Finally Cool! We'll 'fess, at first we were majorly ambivalent about the Wikkans on TB .

Sports Grill BUSTING Out 'Canz' for TV

VH1 must think it will since that's the subject of a new reality show shot at a restaurant ... appropriately called " Canz ." Canz is a Long Island-based sports bar establishment -- but at this joint the bar fare is served by girls in tight black tank tops instead of orange (like that other place). We're told the show will feature a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to be a Canz girl (we'll give you two guesses).  It figures to be the breast show ever.  Tags: Photo Galleries, Hot Bodies View the original article here

Can you guess who this is?

Recognise this usually groomed and glam starlet? Top marks if you do, because she (yes, it’s a she) had undergone a radical make-under in these on-set photos.  It’s none other than Vanessa Hudgens on the set of her new movie Gimme Shelter . *Smacks both hands on face with surprise* We’re used to seeing super-cute Vanessa with glossy, long hair and flawless make-up, but she’s had a serious grunge make-over. Check out the straggly hair, neck tattoo and baggy boy clothes. In fact Vanessa is proud of her commitment to her newest role she’s even chatted to her fans on Facebook about it “I'm so excited and proud of the work I've been doing and let me tell you, you all are going to be SHOCKED with how I look in this movie. It's crazy sauce. Lol only one more week of shooting till I'm done! Xx V.” Of course Vanessa isn’t the first pretty actress to ugly up for a film role, but we’re still startled by quite how unrecognisable View the original article here

Superman & Lois Lane -- DUNZO!!!!

7/18/2011 12:55 AM PDT by TMZ Staff   Maria and Arnold ... J.Lo and Marc Anthony ... and now Superman and Lois Lane are officially KAPUT ... TMZ has learned. Seriously. Sources at DC Comics tell us ... the company is rebooting the Superman comic book series in September -- with a brand new Superman #1 -- in the hopes of creating a new starting point for fans with more modern, relevant story lines. And there are some HUGE developments ... including the fact that Lois and Clark are NOT together. In fact, we're told Lois has new boyfriend. But perhaps even more shocking -- NO MORE RED UNDERWEAR!!!!  Instead, new Superman (see above photo ) will sport an all blue bodysuit with his trademark red cape. Still, we gotta ask ... Is that Kryptonite in his pocket ... or is he just happy to see us? Tags: Superman, Superman, Break-ups View the original article here

New Owner of Candy's House Got Money from Mommy

Image
7/17/2011 12:55 AM PDT by TMZ Staff   The 22-year-old woman who paid $85 million for Candy Spelling's  estate took out an $82,434,060.42 loan -- from her mother! TMZ has obtained the deed of trust -- filed with the Los Angeles County Recorder's office -- which shows Petra Ecclestone became the proud owner of Candy's 57,000 square foot mansion on Thursday. The docs show Petra borrowed all but $2,565,940 (our calculator ran out of numbers for the cents) from Slavica Ecclestone, her mom. Slavica is flush with cash, because her ex-husband Bernie is a billionaire Formula One mogul and she did well in the divorce settlement. The good news for Petra -- she won't have to borrow much more from her mom, because sources tell us she's only going to make cosmetic changes to the mansion, leaving the bones in tact.   Tags: Petra Ecclestone, Candy Spelling, Celebrity Homes View the original article here

The winner of The Apprentice 2011 is…

The winner of The Apprentice is… Tom! Woo! Well done, Tom! We started with sixteen, and tonight it all came down to the final four apprentices – Susan, Helen, Jim and Tom, all fighting it out for a £250,000 investment from Lord Alan Sugar. Each apprentice was subjected to tense, gruelling rounds of interviews, where their CV’s and business plans were probed and pulled apart by Lord Sugar’s helpers (including Margaret who made a welcome return). All four finalists were left sweating, squirming and doing all they could to blag their way to a business partnership. After the interview process Jim, Tom, Susan and Helen had their final ever boardroom showdown with The Lord. Jim was the first to feel the wrath of the Sugar, Susan went next, so it all came down to Tom and Helen. Helen made a last ditch attempt to woo Lord Sugar by outlining a new business plan, but it didn’t work. After much huffing and puffing and internal debating from Lord Alan, Tom was finally named as Sugar’s business p

'Deadliest Catch' Captain ATTACKS Cameraman

7/17/2011 12:40 AM PDT by TMZ Staff   " Deadliest Catch " captain Keith Colburn lashed out in a FEROCIOUS expletive-filled attack on one of the boat's cameramen recently -- bum-rushing the guy into a wall -- and it was all caught on tape. Keith lost his temper after the photog in question -- named Brad Carper -- called up to the wheelhouse looking for one of the show's producers, interrupting Keith at exactly the wrong time. Keith snapped. The fight, which airs next Tuesday on Discovery, went down a couple months ago -- near the end of opilio crab fishing season -- and sources connected with the show tell TMZ, Keith was extremely stressed at the time ... and his fuse was real short. No kidding. But it's all water under the bridge now -- according to sources, Keith and Brad are back on good terms and all is well. No hard feelings.

Morning Bitch-Back! Just How Divalicious Is Jennief Lopez?

Image
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Dear Ted: I am sitting in front of my laptop with my jaw unhinged. Did Jennifer Lopez really shove Mary - Louise Parker out of the way in an effort to meet the royals in L.A.? I read on another site that MLP was quoted as saying she did not get to meet the royals because J.Lo shoved her out of the way. I've always suspected that J.Lo's girl-next-door attitude was bologny. Is she this ruthless? —Jill Dear Butt-In Babe: MLP said it, all right. You can't really blame Jenny (and her mama) too much tho, I'd be knockin' people over to chat with the hottie prince if I had to find a new man, too! Kidding, but do not underestimate our J.Lo, who, by the way, is a total horror from the block, manners-wise. And if you're really put out that J.Lo can show her claws when she wants to, then you need to reassess your Idol -lovin' sitch, 'cause La Jennifer has never kept her diva-tude too secret. Dear Ted: My question is about a coupl

What the hell is going on with Nadine Coyle?

Nadine, honey, we hate to ask, but what were you thinking? What on earth possessed you to step on stage in that getup? You’re a pretty girl, so did you really need to tease your hair into a huge afro and slip into an outfit that’s part circus performer, part Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman to get attention? The 26 year old Girls Aloud star was at New York club Splash to promote her flop album Insatiable , and her choice of stage attire will certainly get her talked about, we’re just not sure it will be for the right reasons. Perhaps Nadine’s just trying to show ex-fiance Jason Bell what he’s missing by attempting to dress sexy and cavort on stage. What do you think about Nadine’s New York look?

Paris Hilton’s brother ordered to pay $4.9m to drink drive victim

It’s a good thing Paris Hilton’s brother Barron Hilton comes from a family who aren’t short of a bob or two – the hotel heir has lost a civil lawsuit filed against him and must pay out $4.9 million. Barron must pay damages to a petrol station attendant that he allgedly struck with his car back in 2008. Barron has been ordered by a jury to pay $3million for pain and suffering, $1.9 million for expenses and punative damages, £225,000 in punative damages and $71,000 in interest. Barron, now 21, allegedly struck  Fernando Tellez with his Mercedes Benz at a Pacific Coast highway petrol station and was later arrested on suspicion of a DUI. He was given three years probation. "This wild night of reckless partying resulted in Mr. Tellez's permanent disability, required him to undergo multiple surgeries and medical procedures and destroyed his family and his ability to provide for his family," the victim's legal representative told the Los Angeles Times .

David Beckham reveals TRUTH about the name Harper Seven

So we have speculated and debated for days. Some thought it was just Victoria’s favorite name while others said it was after the Wizards of Waverly Place! But now David Beckham has finally explained just why baby Beckham no4 was named Harper Seven. Turns out the baby girl was named after Harper Lee - the author of Vic’s favourite book To Kill A Mockingbird. How very posh of Posh, eh? In videos posted on his official Facebook page, David explained: 'A lot of thought goes into our children's names and Harper was a name that we've loved for a long time for a couple of reasons.’ 'One reason is Harper's an old English name which we loved and one of the other reasons was Victoria's favourite book is To Kill A Mockingbird and the author was Harper Lee. It's a very strong, passionate book. That's where Harper came from.' Ok, thanks for clearing up the whole Harper hoohah, but what about Seven?

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 breaks box office records

We all knew it was going to be big, but Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is record-breakingly huge! The final film in the Harry Potter saga has broken the record for the biggest box office gross in one day.  Deathly Hallows: Part 2 raked in $92m in the US on it’s release on Friday, dwarfing the total earned by The Twilight Saga: New Moon which took $72m. In the UK the film earned £9m, the biggest ever single-day taking, and the final Harry Potter film took in $75m internationally. The global total comes close to $250! And if all that wasn’t quite impressive enough Deathly Hallows: Part 2 also set a new record for takings at midnight screenings, earning $43m, easily trumping the record previously held by The Twilight Saga: Eclipse which took in $30m on its release. Warner domestic distribution president Dan Fellman commented to Variety (probably while chugging back bottles of Champagne), "What an incredible beginning for the movie that ends it all.

Nicole Scherzinger isn’t engaged to Lewis Hamilton

Thought you heard wedding bells for Nicole Scherzinger and her Formula 1 driver boyfriend Lewis Hamilton? Well, you didn’t, because the X Factor judge has denied she’s getting hitched. Rumours started when Nic’s own dad Alfonso Valiente told The Mail On Sunday ,"You know about the proposal? Yes, they are engaged. My future son-in-law is a really nice guy, really down-to-earth. My family all like him.” It didn’t take long for Nic to put an end to the engagement speculation, using Twitter to tell fans that she’s not engaged, “Lewis and I woke up this morning and read we were engaged! Sorry to disappoint u all but its not true,” she wrote. With Nicole getting ready for the launch of the US X Factor shows on 21 September and Lewis keeping busy driving fast cars around, we’d be surprised if the couple actually had the time to plan a wedding, so we’re not really surprised to hear that the pair aren’t engaged. Still, if they do ever decide to tie the knot, we can’t wait to see what Ni

Columbus Cops: We'll Protect Casey ... For a Price

7/17/2011 8:08 AM PDT by TMZ Staff   Casey Anthony may be in Columbus, OH this AM, and if she is ... she can get police protection, but it's going to cost her. The Columbus PD tells TMZ ... they have a Special Duty program, which allows people in their fine city to hire off duty cops for protection, and that's what Casey would have to do if she wants someone to guard her from the angry mob. We're told, however, if there is a specific, real threat ... the PD would treat her the way they would anyone else and provide appropriate protection, without cost. It may well be that Casey did not get on the Ohio-bound jet this AM (an airport official says the plane was carrying golfers) but the drill will be the same pretty much anywhere she goes -- if there's a real threat, cops will provide protection ... whether they think she killed her child or not.

Apprentice Tom plans geek wedding

Apprentic e winner Tom Pellereau has two big reasons to celebrate. Last night he was revealed as the winner of the The Apprentice 2011, pocketing a £250,000 investment from Lord Alan Sugar, but he’s also recently proposed to his girlfriend. Awwww… Inventor Tom met his now fiancée, fellow engineer Sarah Fawcus, a few weeks before he started on The Apprentice , and he popped the question a month ago before he knew he was Lord Sugar’s winner. “We are both big geeks and the wedding is going to be big fun,” he told The Sun . “I am very fortunate that I met Sarah before all this started. She is an engineer as well so she very well grounded. As soon as I heard I had won I spoke to her – she thinks it all mad and insane.” Tom, 31, also reckons that being in the losing team so often actually helped his chances of winning the show, because it meant he got to spend more time with Lord Sugar, “I am probably the most unlikely winner ever. I certainly have broken the record for the worst record –

Louis Walsh: “I’ll never be the same again”

Louis Walsh has spoken out for the first time since he was falsely accused of sexual assault, and he’s confessed that his life has been left shattered since dance teacher Leonard Watters claimed he was groped by the X Factor judge. Louis has since been cleared of the allegations. "I've changed forever. This has made me physically ill. I can't eat, I can't sleep. I've lost so much weight that my suits don't even fit me anymore,” Louis told The Sunday Mirror, “I'll never be the same again." The boy band manager also revealed that the whole terrible saga has left him suffering from panic attacks, “This is the first time I've talked about it like this. I can't even get a proper night's sleep, so I'm exhausted. "When I drift off I suddenly wake up in a blind panic. The panic attacks are awful. I have to calm myself down and say, 'It's over, I'm going to be OK'." Louis also admits he fears that people might still b

OMG! Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony end their seven year marriage

Some genuinely shocking news today - Jennifer Lopez and her husband Mark Anthony have announced they are splitting up after seven years of marriage. In a joint statement the couple said, “We have decided to end our marriage. This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters. It is a painful time for all involved and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time.” We have to admit to being genuinely surprised and saddened by this news, as we hadn’t heard any reports about J-Lo and Marc Anthony’s relationship being on the rocks. In fact earlier this year Jennifer admitted the couple were "having fun" trying for a baby. The couple, who are parents to adorable three year old twins Max and Emme, put on a public display of affection as recently as May 25, when Marc performed during the final of American Idol , and AI judgeJ-Lo joined her husband on stage for a raunchy performance that ended with a kiss.  Marc was noticeably absent fr

Weston Cage -- I'll PROVE I'm Not Mentally Ill

7/18/2011 12:35 AM PDT by TMZ Staff   Weston Cage wants to make sure everyone knows he's playing with a full deck -- and his foolproof way of doing that ... is by taking up cage fighting. Cage told our photog he's training to be a UFC fighter and his dream fight would be against the massive Kimbo Slice. Weston explains that part of the reason he wants to do this is because, "I just wanna prove to people I am not mentally ill ... You can't get accepted into UFC if you are mentally unstable." There's gotta be a better way. Tags: Weston Cage View the original article here

Why Is YouTube Banning Lady Gaga?!

Image
Dean Lewins-Pool/Getty Images Well, this just isn't turning out to be Lady Gaga 's day (unless you consider that her HBO concert special reaped a whopping five Emmy nominations this morning. Then it's totally her day). In any case, the Little Monsters are going to have to find a new outlet from which to get their motherly fix, as YouTube has done the unthinkable and blocked her ladyship's account. Even more puzzling is the reason the site gave for shutting Gaga down... MORE: Did Katy Perry really rip off Lady Gaga? Any fan who attempted to access "ladygagaofficial"—the account to which the singer (or, more likely, a Haus of Gaga underling) routinely uploads performance videos, which Gaga liberally links to on her Twitter page—in the past day has been greeted by the following, familiar death toll of a message: "This account has been suspended due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's copyright policy." Huh? Isn't it normally artists

No more Glee for Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith

It’s new directions for three of the biggest stars of Glee . Lea Michele (Rachel), Chris Colfer (Kurt) and Cory Monteith (Finn) will only appear in season three of the all-singing all-dancing show before their characters leave high school and so leave Glee  forever. The show’s creator Ryan Murphy discussed the harsh cast cull with The Hollywood Reporter  , and we have to admit the man makes some good points. "You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticise you for not being realistic. Or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year. "I involved Chris and Lea and they thought that was a good idea. They both trust the writing and trust me and felt that it would be great to have an open and closed experience for them to go out while they were on top." "I'm much more interested in Lea's character – not so much on her relationship

Who watched last night’s Apprentice?

We don’t know about you, but we thought last night’s Apprentice was pretty exciting. In a controversial move, the infamous interview episode was shifted to next week (we can’t WAIT for some Margaret Mountford screen time), so last night left us with one of the final tasks: to start up a fast food restaurant from scratch. And what was more exciting was the fact the fast food restaurants were RIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD in a funny Starburst-coloured building just seconds from heat Towers – and we saw it getting filmed earlier this year. Enough of that. Our highlight of the evening was Jim thinking he’d made up the word Caraca’s (yes, we too were uncomfortable with that apostrophe) when in actual fact it’s the capital of Venezuela. His little face in the Boardroom when he pretended to know what it was. Aww. Oh, and there was his massive maths fail, when he told Lord Sugar that 7 x 60 was £4000. Then £4200. Whoops. Jim, Susan and Natasha’s restaurant Caraca’s was a bit rubbish anyway, so it w

Roger Clemens -- MISTRIAL Over Improper Evidence

Image
7/14/2011 9:30 AM PDT by TMZ Staff   A D.C. federal judge just declared a mistrial in the perjury cased against star pitcher Roger Clemens -- after prosecutors gave jurors a peek at inadmissible evidence. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton made the call after just one day of testimony -- scheduling a hearing on September 2 to decide if there will be a new trial. Here's what happened that triggered the mistrial.  A video screen was left on while the lawyers had a private conversation with the judge.  The screen displayed comments from Congressman Elijah Cummings at a House hearing, in which Cummings seemed to indicate Clemens was lying when he denied using HGH or steroids. The seven-time Cy Young winner is accused of lying about taking performance-enhancing drugs in a 2008 testimony before Congress.

Hanson announce new tour dates

SCREAM! Guess who's doing some new shows? It's only everyone's favourite teeny-boppers (well, they're kind of grown up now) from days of yore, Hanson - and they're even hitting some proper rock festivals too. The US trio are hitting our fair isle again, following five sell-out shows here in June and the guys are going to brave the tough crowds at V Festival in August. Now if that's not a festival crying out for an MMMBop sing-a-long, we don't know what is. Zac - you remember, the little cute drummer one - said: "We’re really excited to be coming back to the UK for a full run of shows, it’s been a long time coming, four years is too long”. Four years without Isaac, Taylor and Zac? That's waaaay too long without them. Look are their little smiling faces! Anyway, the boys will also be playing some dates around the UK in November as part of their Shout It Out world tour, so if you fancy getting on the nostalgia train, first stop early ninties pop, here

So True? So False? Does George Clooney Already Have a New Ladylove?!

GSI Media Of course, it wouldn't come as a complete shock. After all, this is George Clooney we're talking about here. Just weeks after placing himself back on the market upon splitting with Elisabetta Canalis , the rumor mill has been working overtime with talk that the actor will have a brand new piece of arm candy when he hits up the Venice Film Festival next month. So, will Clooney be canoodling with some cutie in Italy? Well, according to the man himself, this story is... MORE: Ditch, Do or Marry—Silver Foxes Edition! So false! "The Italian press, from Corriere Della Sera to TGCOM , Ansa , NewNotizie , Sky.it and even Vanity Fair are all running a story that quotes me as saying that I'm bringing a 'new girl' to the Venice Film Festival," says Clooney in a statement sent to E! News. "I never made that statement and it's not true. It was made up to sell tabloid magazines. It's a ridiculous lie and should be corrected as publicly as i

Take That debut When We Were Young video

It’s an exciting day for all you millions of Take That fans out there (and that includes us), as the boys have released the brand new video for their song When We Were Young on their official website. We’ve also got some very artistic behind-the-scenes images from the video shoot, which took place over two nights at Wembley Stadium. The boys walk around the huge space that is strewn with post-gig rubbish looking all moody and sexy. There’s also few candid shots of the boys having a giggle together, which is always nice to see. When We Were Young is the final track to be taken from Progress /Progressed albums , we can’t wait for the boys to crack on with working on their next record. View the original article here

Prince Harry always seems to go for the blondes ? see Chelsy Davy as an example ? and the down-to-earth royal certainly likes them more street-wise. Fresh from jumping on a bus the other day, Florence Brudenell-Bruce was traipsing the streets of West London yesterday, looking very casual in a crisp white shirt, blues jeans and tasseled brown boots. Unlike Kate Middleton?s always perfectly curled locks, the underwear model stepped out with naturally kinked tresses and san
