Chris Brown: Looking ROUGH at Latest Court Hearing, to Remain in Jail at Least One More Week
5/2/2014 7:55:05 AM
After spending the last seven weeks locked up since being kicked out of rehab and jailed, Chris Brown definitely looked worse for the wear in court yesterday.
The singer looked haggard and tired during a hearing in the Rihanna case. Take a look:
When the judge ruled he will remain in jail, again, the 24-year-old looked defeated.
His next hearing is May 9, and at that point, both sides will come back to court and determine if they can strike a deal over the star's probation violation.
If not, he'll remain in jail for another month as he awaits trial in Washington, D.C.
If you're unfamiliar with Chris Brown's legal woes, this is one complicated mess. He's charged with assault on the east coast, but on probation out west.
With his probation - for the 2009 assault on Rihanna - revoked, he's had to endure two brutal Con Air flights from L.A. to D.C. and back again recently.
All so he could attend his assault trial in the District ... and have it be postponed.
In the meantime, Brown sits in an L.A. jail, with the prospect of going to prison for up to four years if the judge decides the singer violated his probation.
On an unrelated note ... can you believe he cheated with Kim Kardashian?!
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Reviews: Should You Swing Into It?
5/2/2014 7:53:39 AM
Reviews for the cast of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 are in - and they are positively glowing.
Come on, who doesn't love Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield?
But the reviews for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 itself? They are also in... and they aren't exactly as positive. Peruse a sampling below and decide if this is a film worth swinging into over the weekend.
Overstuffed plot and too many villains, but the visual effects pop, and Garfield/Stone are still better than Maguire/Dunst. - Richard Roeper
When Garfield conceals Peter's confused-angry- betrayed scowl beneath that shiny red mask, Spider-Man 2 summons the giddy derring-do of the best Iron Man offerings. It's a good movie that could have been great. - Robert Wilonsky
The new Spider-Man series has managed to do in two films what the previous Spider-Man series did in three: transform an engrossing comic-book coming-of-age epic into an overstuffed and off-putting battle royale. - Michael Sragow
The film is a tad too long… there might have been too many chefs in the writing kitchen. With screenplay credits totaling three and "screen story" by credits totaling four, the audience can feel the plot wander at times. - Joel Amos
The whole thing is starting to feel like a Ponzi scheme. 'Come see the latest adventure! Don't worry if it's not great - the next one'll dazzle you!' But that's what you said last time. - Eric D. Snider
Its web is half-spun and all you're gonna be left with at the end is an empty box of popcorn and the filmmaker's sad sense of tired complacency. - Elias Savada
Donald Sterling Battling Prostate Cancer, Sources Confirm
5/2/2014 7:31:40 AM
Expected to fight for ownership of his team in court, sources have now confirmed to The New York Post:
Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is also fighting prostate cancer.
Sources tell the newspaper that doctors thought Sterling "would die two years ago" and that the best "drugs money can buy" are keeping him alive at this point.
The 80-year old, of course, was caught on tape making racist remarks to girlfriend V. Stiviano last weekend and has since been banned from the NBA for life.
Commissioner Adam Silver also expects to receive unanimous support other owners that, according to league bylaws, force Sterling to sell his franchise.
"If that is true, my thoughts and prayers are with him," star Blake Griffin said last night after being told of Sterling's diagnosis. "Nobody deserves to go through something like that."
Chris Paul referred to the news as "truly unfortunate," while Coach Doc Rivers said he didn't know about it and that he hoped it isn't true.
The NBA hopes to settle the Sterling ownership issue within the next few weeks, but nearly everyone familiar with the owner thinks he will file whatever lawsuits are necessary in order to maintain control of the Clippers.
Grey's Anatomy Season 10 Episode 22 Review: Burke is Back, But Why?
5/2/2014 7:16:52 AM
Cristina assessed her future in Seattle on Grey's Anatomy Season 10 Episode 22, while Preston Burke returned for the first time since the tail end of Season 3.
The question on everyone's mind coming in was a simple, obvious one: Why?
To make a long story short, Burke has offered Cristina the keys to his hospital.
With Sandra Oh leaving the show in two episodes, and Yang spurned by losing the Harper Avery Award, this storyline seems to fall into place perfectly.
We'll have to watch Grey's Anatomy online to see just how pivotal Burke's offer is, but his return brought back memories of the old days on Grey's.
Even now, in 2014, the Sandra Oh-Isaiah Washington chemistry was palpable.
Don't expect a rekindled romance, though; Burke revealed that he is married and also a father, which no doubt made the old school Burktina 'shippers balk.
Cristina's ultimate goal is to create a functional human beating heart one day, and Burke is leaving his institution, letting her take the reins if she'd like it.
The Willy Wonka reference/comparison was both funny and appropriate.
All in all, Burke's return made for an unforgettable episode that lived up to its billing, and no doubt left fans even more crushed that Cristina's leaving.
At the same time, she's going out in a way that does her character justice.
Meanwhile, elsewhere on Grey's Anatomy Season 10 Episode 22 ...
- Derek and Amelia teamed up for a surgery on conjoined twins.
- Jackson and April seemed to finally grow tired of fighting.
- Callie is seriously considering the baby name Agamemnom.
- Jo overheard Webber and Hunt talking about firing a resident.
- Stephanie realized the truth about Bailey's bubble boy case.
What did you think of the installment? Sound off below!
V. Stiviano Porn Offer: Should She Take It?
5/2/2014 7:10:00 AM
Might the "V" in V. Stiviano soon stand for Vivid?
A few days after this mysterious 31-year old seemingly got her revenge on Donald Sterling by releasing audio recordings of the Clippers owner being a HUGE racist, Steve Hirsch has made Stiviano an offer:
You should sleep with black dudes on camera for money!!!
1. V. Stiviano Image
V. Stiviano made a name for herself by taping Donald Sterling being very racist. We guess that's one way to get famous.
2. V. Stiviano Pic
V. Stiviano has a close relationship with Clippers owner Donald Sterling. She has probably seen him naked. Gross.
3. V. Stiviano Bikini Pic
V. Stiviano is not shy about her body. This is a photo from the vixen's Instagram page.
4. V. Stiviano Photo
V. Stiviano strikes a pose here on Instagram. A sexy pose, we should say!
5. V. Stiviano Picture
This is a photo of V. Stiviano. She is in the middle of the huge Donald Sterling scandal.
TMZ confirms that the Vivid Entertainment CEO wrote a letter to Stiviano in which he asks if she wants to star in an adult film with "the most well-endowed black men in the porn industry."
Sterling, of course, got all mad at his girlfriend in the aforementioned recordings because she posted a photo of herself and Magic Johnson on Twitter.
He berated Stiviano for publicizing her interactions with an African-American... so can you imagine his reaction if she gets slammed on film by a minority?!?
Stiviano reportedly has 24 hours to make a decision. Should she accept this porn offer?
Shantel Jackson: Dating Nelly, Angering Floyd Mayweather
5/2/2014 6:45:39 AM
Seemingly out of nowhere, Floyd Mayweather came out this week and said Shantel Jackson got an abortion last year.
The boxer took to social media - Facebook and Instagram, to be exact - and said he broke off the couple's engagement last year because Jackson aborted the pair's twins against his wishes.
Mayweather even posted a photo of an ultrasound as proof.
He has since removed the items, but it's now clear what set Floyd off in the first place: Jackson is dating Nelly!
An insider tells TMZ that Mayweather feels "betrayed" because Nelly is a member of his inner circle.
The athlete does now realize that he crossed a line by actually posting Jackson's ultrasound, but he just couldn't control his anger.
Shantel should count herself as lucky, we suppose.
In the past, when Mayweather could not control his anger regarding the opposite sex, he assaulted his ex-girlfriend and landed in jail for 90 days.
James Franco Selfies: What is This Guy's Deal?!
5/2/2014 6:34:11 AM
We're gonna come right out and ask: What the heck is James Franco's deal?!
The actor has been sharing some interesting pictures on Instagram lately, but the one he posted Thursday night was ... well, you gotta see it to appreciate it.
Visibly sweaty, James Franco is seen sporting nothing but a pair of low-riding white boxer-briefs, his hand suggestively grabbing / covering his junk:
1. James Franco Revealing Selfie

7. James Franco Instagram Seduction!

"JUMP ROPE" he captioned the photo, perhaps explaining why he's so wet.
We don't know whether to believe that, or why he'd feel compelled to ...
At a certain point trying to analyze anything James Franco does is a fool's errand, but his behavior has certainy become stranger than usual in recent weeks.
He shared a similar James Franco nude photo in bed just last week, as well as another picture of him snuggling with Pretty Little Liars star Keegan Allen.
The weirdest part? These photos all come in the wake of his mini Instragram scandal, where he was caught using the social network to hit on a teenager.
What do you think of his latest racy snapshot? Is it doing it for you or no?

Kevin Connolly and Lydia Hearst: It's Over!
5/2/2014 6:26:18 AM
Kevin Connolly's entourage now has one fewer member.
Insiders confirm to Us Weekly that the actor and Lydia Hearst have ended their relationship after about one year of dating.
It's unclear what prompted the split, but Hearst (a judge on Oxygen's model competition The Face) gushed over Connolly's and the unusual way the couple got together in an interview with Access Hollywood last month.
"We met through mutual friends and Facebook," the 29-year-old said. "Actually, I think I might've hit him up. It was a while ago. It's been over a year. But I love him to death and I'm very happy."
Connolly was last seen at a party for Kate Hudson's birthday on April 26, attending the affair without Hearst.

Kate Upton: My Butt Does Not Get Enough Attention!
5/2/2014 6:21:20 AM
Pity Kate Upton. Her butt does not get the attention it deserves, she feels.
Of course, this is only due to the epic cleavage that will stop traffic or break the Internet. Nevertheless, her poor arse. No wonder she's on a quest to get it some credit!
In a new behind-the-scenes video from Sports Illustrated, Kate feels her bum has been long neglected, and she's setting out to get it the "attention it deserves."
Watch her pick out a two-piece that will no doubt help that mission ...
In addition to the revelation about Kate Upton's butt, the footage is also enlightening in that we now know there is an SI assistant who adjusts her tops by hand.
There could be worse jobs on the low end of the pay scale.

The Vampire Diaries Season 5 Episode 20 Recap: A Cabin in the Woods
5/2/2014 6:14:46 AM
A very important question was posed on The Vampire Diaries Season 5 Episode 20:
What is dumber, going to a secluded cabin in the woods when being hunted; taking a bath in said cabin; or playing Never Have I Ever with two ex-boyfriends?
Elena made all of these choices on the latest installment of this CW drama.
And we're not saying that's why she got abducted at the end... but they couldn't have helped!
Yes, Elena Gilbert is once again in peril. It's the go-to move for The Vampire Diaries and it's yet another example of this season not offering up any exciting storylines.
SPOILER ALERT: She is going to get rescued.
Most of this hour was spent with Ghost Enzo haunting his old friends, nearly killing Damon and Stefan via fire until Damon promised that he'll try to bring Enzo back to life.
Damon also learned the truth of just how Enzo died (sort of; didn't he kill himself? Why does Stefan keep saying he murdered him?) and handled it okay. But this only irritated Damon, who proved to Elena that he can't control himself... yet doesn't have her as a girlfriend to show for it.
He did kiss her at the end of a "very crappy day," however, as the Delena dance continues.
Elsewhere:
- Bonnie refuses to tell Jeremy the full truth about her fate if/when The Other Side falls apart.
- Tyler may turn into Julian permanently.
- Caroline was clearly jealous of Elena and Stefan's bond, as the show is very much hinting at these two getting together.
- Markos continues to be exceptionally boring.
So, sadly, there you have it. The stakes on The Vampire Diaries Season 5 don't exactly feel pressing, do they? Does anyone care about Delena anymore? Does anyone think the Travelers make for interesting villains?
Heck, would anyone care if Bonnie dies?
Sound off now and go watch The Vampire Diaries online via TV Fanatic in order to catch up.
