Jennifer Lopez Album Cover: Major Cleavage Alert!
5/5/2014 10:31:42 AM
We are very sorry, Jennifer Lopez.
We never should have left you off our list of celebrities with really, really big boobs.
But we're glad you've decided to prove that you deserve a spot on that list by revealing a great deal of your snack trays on the cover for "A.K.A."
Lopez has unveiled the artwork for her 10th studio album, which will be available on June 17 and which includes the tracks "I Luh Ya Papi" and "First Love."
Drool away now, fellas:
"Music has always been my first love," the American Idol judge said in a press release. "As a girl who grew up in the Bronx, I listened to everything.
"In my career I have always made music that is a reflection of me and where I am in my life. I do what I feel and do things that feel authentic to me. I am a lot of different things and I do a lot of different things. I love hip-hop, pop, dance music and R&B.
"And on this, my 10th album release, I have created a collection of songs that make me feel good and make me feel happy."
In other exciting J. Lo news, it was announced today that Lopez will receive the Icon Award at the Billboard Music Awards on May 18 in Las Vegas.
She joins past winners of this honor such as Neil Diamond, Prince and Stevie Wonder.
May the Fourth Be With You: Happy Star Wars Day From J.J. Abrams!
5/5/2014 10:16:08 AM
The Episode VII cast has been announced, the release date is set, and plot rumors are everywhere on the Internet, but yesterday, Star Wars fans really had something to celebrate - May the fourth!
Yes, thanks to a corny/hilarious pun ("May the fourth be with you!") Cinco de Mayo Eve has become an unofficial holiday for Star Wars obsessives and J.J. Abrams took to YouTube along with screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan to take part in the celebration.
Abrams, of course, is directing the highly anticipated new addition to the franchise, scheduled to hit theaters in December of 2015.
He's recruited Kasdan to help with the script and the two Hollywood veterans seem to be taking their duties very seriously.
Heck, they're even spending the holidays overseas for the sake of the film!
Yes, fans will be excited to learn that Abrams and Kasdan are in London at the moment, preparing to "ramp up" production on Episode VII.
The creative duo took time out briefly to acknowledge the "holiday," before presumably getting back to work.
It's a good sign that Abrams is a geek at heart who seems to fully appreciate how seriously Star Wars aficionados take their fandom.
There are many remaining questions surrounding the upcoming seventh installment in the franchise (What will be the title of Episode VII? Will Daisy Ridley really play Han and Leia's daughter? Will an aging Chewbacca be rocking grey fur?), but the big mystery of the moment is: will Abrams record another message for Revenge of the SIxth tomorrow?
Leslie Jones Blasted for Saturday Night Live Slave Sketch: Funny or Foul?
5/5/2014 10:00:48 AM
Did Leslie Jones cross a line this weekend on Saturday Night Live?
The cast member appeared on Weekend Update in response to Lupita Nyong'o being named People Magazine's Most Beautiful Woman in the World, giving praise to the actress and then going on to explain how she deserves the title of Most Useful Woman.
Especially if this were the slave era.
Referencing pre Civil War-America, Jones quipped:
"I would have never been single. I'm six feet tall and I'm strong. Strong! I mean, look at me, I'm a mandingo... I'm just saying that back in the slave days, my love life would have been way better. [Master] would have hooked me up with the best brotha on the plantation... I would be the No. 1 slave draft pick."
Ebony.com senior editor Jamilah Lemieux, however, did not find jokes about slave breeding to be especially appropriate.
"This Leslie Jones person is an embarrassment @msmarypryor. I'm so appalled right now," he Tweeted in response.
But Jones did not back down from the criticism. She shot back yesterday in a series of Tweets.
"If anybody should be offended is white folks cause it's what they did," she wrote.
Jones then referred to critics such as Lemieux as "self righteous" and added:
"Very sad I have to defend myself to black people. Now I'm betting if Chris Rock or Dave [Chappelle] did that joke or jay z or Kanye put in a rap they would be called brilliant. Cause they all do this type of material. Just cause it came from a strong black woman who ain't afraid to be real y'all mad."
And don't expect the comedian to dial her opinions back, either.
"Here is my announcement black folks, you won't stop me and Im gonna go even harder and deeper now," she wrote. "Cause it's a shame that we kill each other instead of support each other.
"This exactly why black people are where we are now cause we too f***** sensitive and instead of make lemonade out of lemons we just suck the sour juice from the lemons. Wake up."
Strong words. Sensitive topics. Where do you stand on it?
Sound off now while you watch a skit we can all agree was totally hilarious. Beware of The Beygency!
Game of Thrones Season 4 Episode 5 Recap: Long May He Reign!
5/5/2014 9:44:29 AM
Game of Thrones is halfway through what may be its most brutal (and controversial) season to date and while the denizens of Westeros are unlikely to see an end to the bloodshed anytime soon, the show at least took some time out to acknowledge and avenge its more tragic victims.
When Cersei tells Oberyn Martell, "They hurt little girls everywhere in the world," it almost seems as though the writers anticipated the uproar surrounding this season's violence toward women months ago and decided to address it indirectly.
After all, Cersei is supposed to wooing Oberyn before her brother's trial, not making dark proclamations about the state of the world.
But Cersei's wrong, of course. They don't hurt women everywhere - at least in Slaver's Bay at the moment, where Khaleesi Daenerys Targaryen is doing what she does best: waging war and taking names.
Her current campaign isn't going so well, but no matter: when Danny receives word that Joffrey Baratheon is no more, she announces her intentions to bring her dragons and army of former slaves to Westeros.
Asked what she intends to upon her arrival she delivers one of the great lines of the series: "I will do what queens do. I will rule."
Elsewhere, the Queen of the Vale is ruling in the same creepy fashion as when we saw her last. Now married to Littlefinger, Lysa Arryn is still obsessing over Tyrion and warping her young son.
The encounter between Lysa and Sansa in last night's episode was one of the most quietly unsettling exchanges in this season thus far. No mean feat.
Elsewhere, the former Night's Watchmen's reign of terror at Craster's Keep is brought to a bloody end by Jon and his band of brothers.
It's disappointing to see Bran pass up his chance at a reunion with his half-brother, but at least he helps the treacherous Locke meet a bloody end.
It's also a huge relief to see Meera rescued by Jon in the nick of time, as not only is she one of the series' most consistently likable characters, it also means we won't be subjected to another disturbing Game of Thrones rape scene.
As yet another purely awful villain bites the dust, it becomes clear that while all is may never be well in the Seven Kingdoms, sometimes good guys do prosper...even in the world of George R.R. Martin.

James Franco Trying to "Blow Up Twitter" with Sexy Selfies, Keegan Allen Says
5/5/2014 9:40:00 AM
When Pretty Little Liars' Keegan Allen visited James Franco backstage at his Broadway show, Of Mice and Men, taking a shirtless selfie was not on his to-do list.
Nevertheless, that's exactly what happened, as evidenced by a photo posted on Twitter Tuesday showing the two men laying under a blanket together.
It was but one of many memorable, sort of creepy James Franco selfies to hit the Interwebs lately. So what is the deal with this guy? Allen explains ...
"I went to go say hey to him in his dressing room," Allen told E! "There were a lot of people there and I asked him, 'What's the way to do the best selfie in bed?'
James, being James, obliged with a demonstration: "He showed me. And then he climbed in really quickly and he was like, 'Let's blow up Twitter for a second.'"
You can watch Pretty Little Liars online to see more Allen hotness. With Franco, all you have to do is follow him on Instagram and give it a few days.
"He's a trip," Allen said of his Palo Alto co-star and Bukowski director. "He's great to work with, an incredible director and a really fun guy to hang out with."
Fun is one way to describe his recent online behavior, which seems like a cross between performance art and shadiness. It's hard to tell where the line is.
Not long before Keegan's bed romp, Franco hit on an underage girl on Instagram, and has been sprinkling near-naked shots of himself on the web often.
In the racy shot he most recently shared, James appeared naked except for a pair white boxer briefs pulled down to the point of almost exposing himself.
The caption read, "JUMP ROPE." He deleted the photo shortly after posting it on Instagram, but not before we added it to this strangely TMI Franco gallery:
Caleb Johnson Apologizes for "Retard" Comment, Thanks Fans for Support
5/5/2014 9:12:29 AM
Caleb Johnson is learning to choose his words carefully when it comes to life in the spotlight.
Following a recent American Idol performance episode in which the remaining finalists sang tracks selected for them by fans, the aspiring rocker went off a bit on the experience and on Internet users in general.
"I don't really enjoy having to see somebody telling me what song I need to sing," Johnson said. "I think at this point of the competition, I can pick and choose my own songs and represent me."
It was the producers' idea, of course, to have viewers select the singles for a week, but Caleb then got himself into major trouble when asked about the affect social media now has on American Idol.
"It gives access to a bunch of retards to talk to me," he replied.
Yeah. Oops.
Following a wave of criticism for using this word in such a pejorative context, Johnson issued an apology over the weekend via Facebook.
"For the record that juvenile comment I made in the interview was not directed towards my fans but to the wackos that send hundreds of hate messages a day to me," he wrote, adding:
"You guys are amazing and I cannot thank you enough for your support. Sorry if it offended anybody it was the wrong choice of words . Also I greatly appreciate it when you guys give me song suggestions but it gets really overwhelming at the volume it comes in so please understand ! Rock on!"
Earlier this season, Johnson was also stated a mea culpa after seemingly making light of people with life-threatening peanut allergies.
He's one of four contestants remaining on American Idol.
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott Enjoy Spa Day Amid (Fake?) Cheating Drama
5/5/2014 9:05:37 AM
Tori Spelling and her husband, Dean McDermott, stepped out together in L.A. this weekend, proving to the masses that they are definitely still together.
Despite the roller coaster drama playing out on their reality show True Tori, they were putting on a united front, acting "very sweet and affectionate."
The parents of Liam, 7, Stella, 5, Hattie, 2, and Finn, 1, enjoyed a relaxing Thai massage - together. No private happy endings for Dean. This time.
An inside source adds that the couple held hands almost everywhere they went, which is totally sweet, considering everything they've been through.
Tori and Dean have certainly been through the wringer.
Last week, it was revealed that Tori Spelling was hospitalized for undisclosed health issues; she was so sick that doctors required her to stay for six full days!
After being released, Tori immediately resumed filming of her reality show, upon which Dean McDermott's suicide attempt last winter was revealed.
Sounds rough.
We're glad to see that Tori and Dean are still working on their turbulent marriage and doing whatever it takes to make it last amid their obvious tumult.
If any of this is even real, anyway. You never can tell.
It's possible that Dean really did bone Emily Goodhand and the couple is just not letting a real crisis go to waste, but some have speculated that it's all a sham.
See what we mean in the gallery below ...
Mad Men Season 7 Episode 4 Recap: Enter the Computer Age!
5/5/2014 9:01:05 AM
It's always strange to see the offices of Sterling-Cooper (or whatever they're calling it these days) devoid of click-clacking typewriters and comely secretaries.
After all, the last time Don Draper walked into a silent lobby he discovered his co-workers huddled around a television watching coverage of the JFK assassination.
When Don made his long-awaited return to the office on last night's Mad Men, he happened upon an equally game-changing moment in history: the dawn of the computer age.
Yes, SC&P is being re-designed for the age of information and when Don stumbles into the confusing renovation scene, it's a perfect visual reminder of his place in the world: confused, isolated, possibly obsolete.
Despite Roger's promises that the agency's new computer will do "a lot of magical things, like make Harry Crane seem important," Don remains defiantly old-school and obviously chagrined, but these days he's not in a position to say or do anything about it.
The former bull-moose of the agency sheepishly takes his place in Lane's old office and (predictably) immediately uncovers a painful relic of the colleague he may have driven to suicide.
The episode is rife with other signs of the changing times: Roger receiving word that his daughter has skipped town with a communal (and possibly polygamous!) band of hippies, secretaries doling out diet advice to men (Men! Dieting!) and most importantly...Peggy taking charge over Don!
Yes, when the firm lands a new fast food account, perennial jerk Lou puts Peggy in charge of her former mentor. Needless, to say Don is less than pleased.
He hurls his computer at the wall (Hey, they have computers now anyway, right?), then skips Peggy's first meeting in favor of a game of solitaire and an awesomely old-school can of Coke.
But, despite all his rage, Don is still just an ad man in an office. Even when he's staging his silent protest, he manages to land new clients as SC&P's tech guy comes to the Drape in search of PR help.
Strangely, Bert Cooper rejects Don's new account and makes a surprisingly callous comment about Lane's suicide. We can hardly blame Draper for immediately hitting the bottle in direct violation of the new rules of his continued employment.
Roger, meanwhile, attempts to hunt down his wayward daughter and lands on a commune and winds up smoking "dynamite grass" with his daughter's hippie compatriots in what may be the show's plainest mash-up of late and early 60s culture thus far.
Hammered Don attempts to bond with a computer expert, Roger smokes weed with some new-age farmers and holes up in a barn...are the men of Madison Avenue finally going to embrace the cultural shift that surrounds them?
Nah, Don gets wasted and accosts said tech guy, and after an enlightened night, Roger wakes up and attempts to physically drag his daughter from the compound.
So it looks like all is well! Hey, we don't watch this show for its progressive ideals!
Watch Mad Men online at TV Fanatic to see if these dudes ever get the hint!
Little Girl Dumps Boyfriend, Takes Him to Task in Hilarious Note
5/5/2014 8:29:20 AM
Kids. They're the best. So honest, and never afraid to speak their minds.
Or in this case, write down their deep thoughts by hand in notes that go viral online when their parents share them on social media. Long live the Internet!
Apparently young Rachel agreed to go out with a boy named Shawn, but Shawn has not exactly stepped up to the plate since she agreed to be his girlfriend.
To put it mildly. And she's grown awfully tired of his (non) actions.
Let's just say that if communication is the crux of a lasting relationship, this little guy has a tough road ahead of him unless he reads this note and takes heed:
You heard the woman, Shawn. If you want to get mareed one day go ahead, but it won't be to her ... or anyone else for long if you keep on ignoring your partner.
Check out more hilarious little kid notes after the jump ...
Elena Baltacha Dies of Liver Cancer; Former Tennis Star Was 30
5/5/2014 8:27:15 AM
Elena Baltacha, a former member of the Top 50 of the Women's Tennis Association, died over the weekend after a long battle with liver cancer.
She was 30 years old.
The WTA confirmed this sad news on its website, writing that the Kiev-born Baltacha died peacefully while surrounded by family and friends.
Baltacha represented Great Britain at the 2012 London Olympics and was diagnosed with the diseased in January, two months after retiring from tennis and just weeks after getting married.
"We are heartbroken beyond words at the loss of our beautiful, talented and determined Bally," husband Nino Severino said in a statement. "She was an amazing person and she touched so many people with her inspirational spirit, her warmth and her kindness."
Baltacha dealt with a chronic liver condition throughout her career, receiving medication and regular blood tests. But that didn't stop her from reaching number-one in England.
"Elena's journey was never an easy one and yet she consistently showed her strength, good humor and indomitable spirit," WTA chairman Stacey Allaster said.
Prior to her passing, Baltacha had organized a tennis charity event in June, "Rally for Bally," to raise money for a cancer hospital and her tennis academy.
It will go ahead in her memory, with those involved including childhood friend Andy Murray, Martina Navratilova and Tim Henman.
