Rihanna: Topless for Lui Magazine!
4/29/2014 3:23:51 PM
Rihanna has never been shy about showing off the assets that helped make her famous (we ain't talking about her singing voice), but she took her exhibitionism to a new level for the new issue of the French magazine Lui.
RiRi posted bits of the revealing photo spread to Instagram, along with a caption reading, "Lui. There was 1 rule to this shoot...TANLINES!"
Tanlines, indeed. We're not sure why the curvy songstress would choose an unknown French fashion mag to finally bare all, but we're certainly not complaining.
Check out the gallery above to see more of Rihanna than you've ever seen before.
As the magazine has yet to be released stateside (or anywhere, for that matter) we don't know if RiRi delves into her reasons for going topless in an interview, but we're guessing she just got bored of mocking Karrueche Tran on Instagram.
Or maybe she wanted to give Chris Brown something to remember her by while he's locked up. Either way, we're glad she finally made the leap!
Looks like the latest issue of Vogue Brasil has some competition in the "sexiest Rihanna photo shoot" department.
We can't help but wonder how she'll step her game up next time. You may have peaked too soon, RiRi!
Cressida Bonas Dumps Prince Harry, Royal Source Alleges ... Is It Really Over?
4/29/2014 2:51:59 PM
Cressida Bonas has reportedly broken up with Prince Harry. Is it all over for William's brother and the gorgeous young woman many thought would be his wife?
The same day as Kate Middleton and Prince William celebrate their third anniversary, reports of Harry's romance in ruins have hit celebrity news outlets.
But are they legitimate? That's far from clear.
What we do know is that earlier this year, it seemed like Cressida Bonas was a sure thing to marry Harry at best, or moving in that direction at worst.
Harry was moving her gently into his royal circles and it appeared that an engagement announcement would be happening eventually, if not immediately.
In recent weeks, however, things have cooled off. Why?
Speculation increased that Harry's friends were warning him about Cressida because of her immaturity and apparent reticence against the royal family.
Now "sources" claim Harry and Cressida are over:
"The pair apparently decided to go their separate ways after [Cressie] told Harry that she doesn't want to marry into the royal family, according to tabloid reports."
"Harry wants to settle down and get married just like his brother, Prince William. But Cressie is still young and had huge reservations about marrying."
"They had a chat over the weekend and decided it's best they cool things off. Harry's hoping she'll change her mind, but for now the romance is very much off."
We cannot confirm this celebrity gossip rumor.
Considering the unsourced reports that have surfaced regarding the overlooked royal couple, it seems premature to stick a fork in Harressie just yet.
Still, if there's trouble in paradise, it's much better to figure that out now than after it's already too late to go back. They can't all be William and Kate ...
Wheel of Fortune Contestant Blows Nearly-Solved Puzzle, Apparently Loves to Drink
4/29/2014 2:46:16 PM
It doesn't get much worse than blowing a chance at $1 million due to a mispronunciation on Wheel of Fortune.
But this comes awfully close.
After picking up a piece that brought her one step closer to winning a car, a young woman on America's favorite game show named Rachel was faced with what appeared to be a VERY easy puzzle this week.
She was only missing two letters... but a love of boozing on vacation apparently led to this contestant's downfall. See what we mean now:
Ouch! So very close.
Better luck next time, Rachel. But at least you'll now live forever on the Internet, thanks to your inclusion in the following game show-based video collection:
Adam Silver Bans Donald Sterling from NBA for Life, Fines Clippers Owner $2.5 Million
4/29/2014 2:20:31 PM
Adam Silver just announced in a NYC press conference that he has banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling from all NBA-related activities for life.
He's also fined the 80-year old real estate mogul $2.5 million, an amount that will be donated to various charities.
Silver told reporters that a forensic review of the V. Stiviano audio recording of Sterling being all kinds of racist discovered no evidence it was altered in any way.
The Commissioner added that he spoke with Sterling in the past couple days and referred to his views as "offensive and harmful."
Sterling also admitted to his voice being on the tape.
As a quick refresher: Donald Sterling owns the Clippers and has faced multiple racial discrimination lawsuits in the past.
Over the weekend, TMZ released a recording of Sterling castigating his girlfriend for being seen in public with African-Americans.
He went on to call her "stupid" for thinking that one's skin color doesn't matter and was also recorded talking down about his black players, giving himself props for putting food on their table.
Reaction to Sterling's ignorant idiocy has been swift and has crossed all industries, from sports to music to politics.
Silver apologized directly to Magic Johnson (who was referenced on the tape) and said he will urge the NBA Board of Governors to push for a sale of the Clippers.
"I will do everything in my power to ensure that happens," Silver said at the podium. "We stand together in condemning Mr. Sterling's views. They simply have no place in the NBA."
Happy 3rd Anniversary, Kate Middleton & Prince William!
4/29/2014 2:11:44 PM
Kate Middleton and Prince William celebrate their third anniversary today. Yes, it's been three years since the magical Royal Wedding on April 29, 2011.
Three years since the whole world celebrated. Three years since the last (and possibly) only time Americans set their alarms for a British news story.
Three years since Pippa Middleton set the high water mark for bridesmaid show-stealing. Three years since the love story for the ages became official.
In celebration of their wedding day, and the romance they've shared before and since, here's a look back at our favorite celebrity couple through the years:
How are the royal couple themselves celebrating this special day? Resting.
They're parents, after all, of a nine-month-old baby boy. Gotta love it.
Unlike the rest of us, they're doubly exhausted after a three-week, multiple-appearances-a-day tour of Australia and New Zealand, which concluded Friday.
Not unlike the rest of us, they're content to spend the anniversary privately, catching up with the Middleton family and spending time with Prince George.
Sounds awfully nice to us.
The Daily Mail reports that William gave Kate a £3,600 Cartier watch shortly before they departed for New Zealand, which served as an "early anniversary present."
One that also helps her keep time in preparation for enhanced royal duties, conveniently, as Kate is known to socialize with everybody (which we love her for)
We don't know what Kate Middleton gave him in return, but we wish them the very best ... and if you can't get enough of the Duchess and her man, see below:
Star Wars Episode 7: Meet the Cast!
4/29/2014 1:58:04 PM
Earlier today, after months of speculation the cast for Star Wars: Episode VII was announced, and fans have reacted with confusion and frantic Googling, as it seems the film will star very few household names.
Taking place about 35 years after Return of the Jedi, the highly-anticipated film will feature Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamil and Perter Mayhew returning as older versions of their characters from the original films.
Beyond that, the cast roster is a who's who of up-and-coming indie talent that most Americans have likely never heard of.
Adam Driver, who's rumored to be playing the villain of the as-yet untitled project might be familiar to some for his role as Lena Dunham's boyfriend on the HBO series Girls.
Driver also co-starred with fellow Episode VII castmate Oscar Isaac in the 2013 Coen Brother's film Inside Llewyn Davis.
Seeing as Driver and Isaac are probably the most recognizable of the lot, it seems JJ Abrams intentionally cast the film with virtual unknowns so as to preserve the mystery surrounding the most eagerly-awaited sequel in decades.
Check out our gallery above for a full list of the newly-revealed Episode VII cast.
Feel free to speculate wildly as to what sort of character each actor might be portraying. We recommend throwing "Darth" in front of their names and trying to envision them holding a red light saber.
Selena Gomez: Short Hair Is Hot!
4/29/2014 1:44:22 PM
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?
We're gonna let you finish, Selena Gomez, but Taylor Swift had the best hair reveal video of all time.
But Gomez took a page out of her BFF's playbook to reveal her new, shorter hairstyle on Instagram today. The video shows the Most Elegant Princess in the World hanging out with friends, having tea... you know, just girl stuff.
Gomez went on an Instagram purge last week that included axing friends Kylie and Kendall Jenner from her life due to her desire to lose the negative influences holding her down. (But she's still clinging to Justin Bieber...)
Apparently her hair was a negative influence as she shed several inches of her long locks.
Her new look could be a haircut, or it could just be that she's had her extensions removed. OR she's pinned the rest of her hair back to make the front LOOK shorter.
Either way, Selena Gomez' shorter hair is hot! But she could probably do anything except pull a full Britney or any of these crazy celebrity hairstyles and still look great.
Porsha Williams Apologizes For Real Housewives of Atlanta Fight, Cites "Severe" Bullying
4/29/2014 1:37:06 PM
The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Porsha Williams is apologizing to her co-stars and viewers for the fight that broke out on the show's reunion special two Sundays ago.
The reality star, who made headlines today by claiming ex-husband Kordell Stewart abused her, is opening up about a physical attack she committed.
"Throughout the season on Real Housewives I was manipulated and bullied and at the reunion taping when emotions were heightened," Williams says.
"I suffered severe bullying since I was a child, to the extent of contemplating suicide, and was physically and mentally abused during my marriage."
"I was pushed too far with objects waved in my face and my personal space was continuously violated, and I reacted in a way which I am not proud of."
On part one of The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion, Williams suddenly snapped after Kenya Moore waved a scepter and megaphone in her face.
Reaching for her opponent's hair and dragging her across the floor with it in a swift shocking 10-second melee, Porsha was later charged with battery.
"I'm so embarrassed," Williams says. "Violence is not the answer and I want to apologize to my fans, the viewers and the other ladies for my behavior."
"For the thousands of supporters that have stuck by me I thank you immensely and encourage you to donate to shelters for abused woman and support charities that stop bullying."
"I am dedicated to helping others learn appropriate ways to cope with bullies and abusers and from this experience I hope to continue on a path of personal and spiritual growth."
"I am embarrassed of my reaction and the way that I handled the provocation."
A seriously glam Porsha Williams mug shot was taken after she was booked on a battery charge. Her statement makes no mention, notably, of Kenya Moore.
Moore, meanwhile, told the AP last week that the whole situation is "very unfortunate and sad. If I was in her position, the first thing I would do is apologize."
She has now done so ... but not to Kenya specifically.
Not by accident we're guessing. You tell us ...
NeNe Leakes on Friendship with Cynthia Bailey: It's Over!
4/29/2014 1:24:10 PM
It's been quite a couple days for NeNe Leakes.
On Sunday's Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion special, NeNe exchanged barbs with Cynthia Bailey, with the latter referring to her ex-BFF as "shady" and "two-faced."
Then, last night, Leakes was eliminated from Dancing with the Stars.
Speaking to Us Weekly about the ousting, NeNe said she is trying to stay "positive" and that DWTS was challenging because she had to fly back and forth from Los Angeles to Atlanta for her duties on Bravo.
As for reconciling with Bailey?
Don't hold your breath, Real Housewives of Atlanta viewers.
"I think that's a done deal for me. I think that our friendship was great," Leakes says. "I feel like I was a great friend to her, I honestly think she was a great friend for me, I just think that our friendship has come to an end. It's run its course."
At one point on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 6, Leakes slammed Bailey's husband as a "damn bitch."
When the ladies got together with Andy Cohen this past weekend, Cynthia said NeNe isn't trying her with "respect," an exchange you can see when you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online via TV Fanatic.
"I feel like when I began my journey on Real Housewives of Atlanta, it was more positive," NeNe said when asked about returning for Season 7. "People tuned in to see fashion and fabulousness - never pulling hair or belittling or being super negative. I can't even believe how it's changed."
For the record, Leakes, you're mostly right... except for one thing: people have always only tuned in for pulling hair, belittling and being super negative.
Do you want NeNe Leakes to leave The Real Housewives of Atlanta?
Naya Rivera: FIRED From Glee Due to Lea Michele Feud!
4/29/2014 1:13:34 PM
Naya Rivera has been having a rough 2014.
First the actress ended her engagement with rapper Big Sean following allegations that he'd cheated on her, now it appears she's been fired from the show that made her famous.
Rumors of a feud between Naya and Lea Michele began to circulate earlier this month when it was reported that the co-stars became so upset with one another that they both stormed off set.
Now, Glee producers have apparently decided that the off-screen drama was more than they could handle and they've reportedly fired Naya effective immediately.
The New York Daily News reports that Rivera has been "written off" the show and her character will not appear in the remaining episodes of season five or any of the show's upcoming final season.
Details are scarce as to what was the final straw for producers, but sources close to the show say Naya was "jealous" of the attention that Lea received from cast and crew.
Producers have specified that they did not make their decision as a result of a request or demand from Michele.
"One co-star would not have any power over whether another returns to the show," said one executive.
Watch Glee online at TV Fanatic and see if you can pinpoint when the relationship between these two young actresses began to sour.
