Hollywood news Gossips - Kate and Jon Gosselin: NOT Getting Back Together

In a recent interview, Kate Gosselin said she will never say a bad word publicly about her ex Jon, as he will always be the father of her children.

That doesn't mean she'll get back together with him, however.

A deluge of recent celebrity gossip reports have suggested Kate and Jon Gosselin, who have been on much better terms lately, might reconcile.

Not the case, says a source close to Kate.


"There is absolutely no chance of a reconciliation. They remain civil for the sake of the kids, but that's it," said the insider. "It's frustrating for Kate that people keep making stories up. Things are better but they have both moved on."

Jon has been dating Ellen Ross for the better part of a year and seems quite content living a normal life, working 9-to-5 installing solar panels.

As for Kate, she's single and has no qualms about it.

"Kate wants nothing more than to be seen in a completely different light than Jon is viewed," says the source. "Obviously he is the father of her children and that won't change, but she is feeling very happy about her decisions and situation."

Hollywood News and Gossips - Charlie Sheen: I'm High ... on Charlie Sheen!

Charlie Sheen admits in a new interview with ABC's 20/20, which will air Tuesday and will be teased on GMA tomorrow, that he is SO high on a drug.

You know that drug as Charlie Sheen.

The actor, who went OFF on his boss last week after CBS shut down production on Two and a Half Men, wants to share his side of the story. Again.



"I have one speed. I have one gear. Go!" says Sheen, who will not accept defeat (at what, no one knows) to ABC. "I dare you to keep up with me."

Andrea Canning, who visited Sheen and his goddesses, Bree Olson and Natalie Kenly at his home this weekend, even learned what he's high on:

"I am on a drug. It's called Charlie Sheen."

The actor entered an "at home rehab program" after an epic bender last month and is currently feuding with the producers of his hit CBS show.

Why is he speaking out, seemingly every day? "There's wrongs to be righted and stories to tell," he says. "People need to hear my side of it."

"Need" is a strong word. But we do enjoy it.

d'Arabian stretches definition of kids' cooking - hollywood news gossips


d'Arabian stretches definition of kids' cooking

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — On television, Melissa d'Arabian teaches families how to stretch their food budgets. At home, she stretches the definition of cooking with kids.

Sometimes, her young daughters help her with elaborate recipes that evolve into arts and crafts projects of sorts where they aren't "counting on that food to actually eat," she said. Other times, it's all about getting dinner on the table quickly, so she'll hand them a bowl of applesauce to stir while she does all the real food preparation.
And there are even subtler ways to teach the value of cooking with healthy, whole foods, she said during an Associated Press interview Saturday at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival.
"We have baskets of produce on our island, they are decorative, but the kids can walk by and see a beautiful red pepper," she said.
As host of the Food Network's "Ten Dollar Dinners," d'Arabian focuses on teaching families to stretch their food budgets. But she said she's willing to spend more on produce from a farmer's market because she can turn a shopping trip into a family — and educational — outing.
"Think of it as taking your kids to the movies. If you can reframe it as the entertainment for the day ... even if I'm $10 over on produce, we've had hours of family time and entertainment," she said.
She lets her daughters pick out any vegetable they like at the grocery store or farmer's market, and she then comes up with a recipe to use it at home. Not all of them are winners, she said, but she'd rather see her children get excited by bok choy or some other exotic vegetable for a few hours and then reject it than choke down a bit of broccoli just because it's healthy.
"Sometimes they eat it, sometimes they don't," she said. "But I focus on what is the relationship I want them to have with food?"
D'Arabian, who had a career in finance before winning the "Next Food Network Star" competition in 2009, said the twin problems of hunger and childhood obesity are local problems with national implications, so they will require involvement by parents, the public, the private sector and politicians.
Though she's never worked in the public policy arena, she said politicians should do a longer term analysis of how spending more on school lunches, for example, will save money down the road.
"It's very difficult for us as a society to invest in something that has a payoff many years down the road," she said.

Rihanna and Ciara Battle in Twitter Catfight - hollywood news gossips


Rihanna and Ciara Battle in Twitter Catfight

The social network spat began when R&B star Rihanna took to her Twitter page to express being "hurt" by comments made by fellow singer Ciara on the E! News show "Fashion Police." 

Ciara spoke on the show of an encounter with Rihanna: "I ran into her recently at a party and she wasn't the nicest, and it's crazy because I've always loved and respected what she's done with fashion and I've ran into her, you know, before but this time it was really… it wasn't the most pleasant run in…" 
Rihanna retaliated by tweeting: "My bad ci, did I 4get to tip u? #howrudeofme." Ciara tweeted back: "Trust me Rihanna u don’t want to see me on or off the stage." To this, Rihanna responded with: "U gangsta huh? Haaa. Good luck with booking that stage u speak of."
The feud quickly ended though when Rihanna sent an apology tweet: "Ciara baby, I love you girl! U hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I'm heartbroken! That's y I retaliated this way! So sorry! #letsmakeup."
Ciara then accepted the apology, tweeting: "Rhi, u know its always been love since day 1! Doing shows/everything. You threw me off in that party! Apology accepted. Let’s chat in person.

Ashley Hebert: The Next Bachelorette? - hollywood news gossips


She's still alive as one of three finalists on this season of The Bachelor. But has Ashley Hebert already been tapped to star on The Bachelorette this summer?
According to Reality Steve's Twitter.
For those unfamiliar with Steve, he is the WikiLeaks of Bachelor spoilers. No one knows how this stuff gets out, but it ends up on his blog and he is good.
Ashley Hebert Picture
How on Earth was a contestant who isn't even eliminated yet named the star of the sequel? We have no idea, and we obviously can't confirm this now.
But odds are still pretty high that Ashley Hebert, the perky dental student and pride of small town Madawaska, Maine, will be the next Bachelorette.
If true, it's not shocking she didn't win The Bachelor. Brad has stronger connections with Chantal O'Brien (the rumored winner) and Emily Maynard.
What is surprising is that Emily, with stunning looks and a touching story that seemed destined to land her the starring role, is not The Bachelorette.
Just the same, Ash is no slouch herself. She's down-to-earth, smart, fun and cute as they come. What do you think of the move? Vote below ...

Chord Overstreet and Taylor Swift: New Couple Alert? - hollywood news gossips


Are we about to embark on a trip down SwiftStreet?
Cameras caught Taylor Swift and Glee star Chord Overstreet taking in the L.A. Kings game last night. The possibility of these two dating is even more jarring than the fact that people actually attend hockey games in Los Angeles. Who knew?!?

No word from either side yet about the meaning behind this possible date, but the two do look awfully cute together, don't they? A friend tells Us Weekly:  "Chord is into her. He will definitely pursue this."
Overstreet has recently been linked to Kelly Osbourne and Naya Rivera, while Swift has been linked... eh, just go listen to her latest album and hear for yourself.

Celebs Slam Charlie Sheen on Twitter - hollywood news gossips


Despite his recent spewing of irrational insults and egocentric ranting, Charlie Sheen may still have many fans out there. But not many of them reside in Hollywood.
Following the sitcom star's most recent meltdown, a slew of stars have taken to Twitter to voice their opinion on them. Among their views:

Zooey Deschanel: "MYSTERY SOLVED: now we know who the "half a man" is in "two and a half men."...HINT: it's not the kid!!!!"
A Lover of Life
Giuliana Rancic: "How crazy is that Charlie Sheen rant? Have u noticed he loves saying 'winning?'"
Denis Leary: "Is it just me or is Charlie Sheen starting to sound a lot like Moammar Kaddafi?"
Sheen does have one celebrity on his side, though. Asks CNN host Piers Morgan: "Is it just me that thinks Charlie Sheen be allowed to behave how the hell he likes in his own time?

How Did Kendra Wilkinson Lose 10 Pounds?!? - hollywood news gossips


According to tabloid reports, Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Basket have split. Theirmarriage is over.
But who cares about that? This large-breasted blonde has lost 10 pounds! In just two weeks!
Kendra is doing her best impression of Kim Kardashian these days, as OK! marks her third straight week on a magazine cover. This time, she's spewing more nonsense about weight loss.
Kendra Wilkinson Weight Loss
“I always thought I needed to be on some specific diet,” says. “But I’ve noticed that it’s all about where you are and what you’re doing in life... If I want to eat junk food, I go the gym. If I’m taking a break from working out so hard, I eat more salad.”
We've also learned that Kendra will definitely appear on Dancing with the Stars this season. The only question: how will they introduce her?
As the ex-lover of Hugh Hefner? As the wife of a Super Bowl goat? As someone who will do and say anything for fame and fortune? Tune in. Find out!

Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh: Married! - hollywood latest news gossips


Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh are now husband and wife, just two weeks after his divorce from Camille Grammer was finalized. Congratulations, we think!
The pair exchanged vows during an afternoon ceremony at the Longacre Theater in Manhattan, where he starred in the Tony-winning La Cage aux Folles.
This is the first marriage for Kayte, 29, and the fourth for Kelsey, 55.
Kayte & Kelsey
After 15 days of legal freedom, Kelsey Grammer is spoken for again!
"Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh were married today at a private ceremony for family and friends," the actor's rep said in a statement.
Kelsey, whose split from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer was chronicled all season on that program, is not looking back.
"I've never been happier in my life," Grammer said of his new life with Kayte Walsh, a British flight attendant. "I'm extremely happy."
Following today's ceremony, the newlyweds and guests headed to the reception at the Plaza Hotel, where the festivities will go until 2 a.m.
Somehow we doubt Camille will be in attendance, but that shouldn't stop her from commenting on the event ad nauseam to gain sympathy/publicity.

Indian American creating crowd-sourced film on Egyptian revolution - bollywood news gossips



Washington, Feb 25 (IANS) An Indian-American filmmaker and journalist is leading a project to create a "crowd-sourced interactive documentary" to tell the story of the Egyptian revolution with the same tools that brought it to the world in real time.

A three-person team led by Jigar Mehta, a Knight Fellow at Stanford and former New York Times video journalist, is asking people to tell what they know of the events in Egypt from Jan 25 to Feb 11 for their "18DaysInEgypt" documentary.

Others on the team are Yasmin Elayat, a New York based interaction designer and software developer, who studied Computer Science at the American University in Cairo and Alaa Dajani, a documentary filmmaker born and raised in Egypt.

The team is asking people to tag their media on YouTube, Flickr, Twitter with the tag '18DaysinEgypt' and the day it happened plus any additional information they can provided about the media.

The team will find the clips via search, they said. "Once we have a collection of the media, we are going to use the community around #18DaysinEgypt to help curate the material for the final documentary."

The just launched first part of the project involves collection: getting the population who took video/photos/tweeted to tag or upload their media. The second part involves distribution of the interactive component to tell the story using footage shot by thousands.

Angelina Jolie Bestows Gift, Hidden Message Upon Brad Pitt - hollywood latest news gossips

It's no vial of blood, but Angelina Jolie has presented a very special gift to Brad Pitt, symbolizing their love and describing, intimately, how she feels about him:

A diamond pendant engraved with a microscopic love message.

Exactly what Angelina has written on it is a secret, its creator tells the Daily Mail: "I cannot tell you what it says, and you would need a microscope to read it."


The pendant is based on Ancient Egyptian amulets that contained hidden messages: "The technology is quite new ... The hidden message is lasered on."

UK-based jeweler Robert Procop says he's also partnering with her on a jewelery line called The Style Of Jolie. Wonder what style that is. Controlling?

What do you think the microscopic message on Brad's pendant says? We may never know for sure, but Star will come up with something good. Our ideas:

If you so much as look at Jen I will castrate you.
Sell this thing, feed 130 Haitian refugees.
Angelina: One Oscar. Brad: No Oscars.
I'm pregnant with triplets.

Priyanka hangs out with Lady Gaga! - bollywood news gossips

It's a known fact that Priyanka Chopra is a huge Lady Gaga fan and when the 7 Khoon Maaf actress met up with pop sensation, her happiness knew no bounds. Priyanka and Gaga hung out after Gaga's Madison Square Garden concert.

Priyanka told DesiHits.com, "I like her tracks, Poker Face, Bad Romance and Drag Queen, so it was great to see her perform."

The actress, who spent time with Gaga, also revealed that Gaga is keen on "doing something in India." "I think she is going on an Asia tour soon and that's really cool. I think it would be great for her to come down [to India]," Priyanka told the website.

Priyanka, who could not contain her happiness after meeting the controversial star, was mesmerised with Gaga's live performance. "I loved the way she connected with her fans, people really connected with her and her message 'be proud of who you are,' it's a great message."

The meeting was organised by the CEO of Desi Hits! Anjula Acharia-Bath. "Seriously, how often do you get two absolute power houses from East and the West to meet? It was incredible to see PC and GaGa hang out together and swap notes about global domination, music and of course the world's largest movie business, Bollywood," said Anjula.

The Real Housewives of Miami Recap: BLAH! - hollywood news gossips

The Real Housewives of Miami didn't exactly blow our critic's mind last night. In fact, it mostly served as a reminder that their Bravo counterparts are superior.

Here's her take on the latest members of the Bravo franchise ...

Last night, the not-so-highly anticipated Real Housewives Of Miami premiered with a big "blphhhhhhhhhh." It's not entirely their fault that we were in misery.


Andy Cohen brought in 1 pinch hitter when The Real Housewives Of New York weren't ready to say hullo again. These South Florida (YES, Miami counts as part of South Florida) tarts display no modesty when showcasing their flash and trash.

Even in previews, Lea, Alexia, Christy, Larsa, Marysol and Adriana didn't dazzle me.

None can hold a candle to Lisa Vanderpump, nor do they measure up to Adrienne Maloof. I'd take a head full of tinsel over the foolishness I sat through last night.

With that said, let's get on with our recap.

Meet Lea. Lea just loves the crazies. Anyone who is certifiably insane and rich should call up Lea, 'cause she will like you. Guaranteed! Lea is married to top-notch attorney Roy Black, hails from the great state of Texas and loves mom jeans.

She's the quintessential Floridian, having resided in Miami since the '80s (a decade the city can't seem to pull itself out of). Lea strikes me as more Palm Beach than South Beach given her personal style and knack for jovial insults. Something tells me Lea's never sat down to view a full season of Bravo bitchery, because she treated the pilot like a "who's who of the early bird Miami set."

By the end of this, she'll have a serious bone to pick with the editors. I foresee Lea being thrown into a scenario she didn't sign up for, only to be on the receiving end of some realllllllll catty hogwash. Best of luck to you, Lea.

Then there's Larsa, who has been married to NBA star Scottie Pippen for 12 years. Their kids are cute, and Larsa does her best to convince us she cooks, cleans and handles child-rearing. 'Fraid not, sister. I spotted a nanny in the background during breakfast.

It's cool, you can be honest with us. There is no way you raise four kids and look the way you do. Larsa and Scottie live in Ft. Lauderdale, which is not Miami. So...

Next on the chopping block is Adriana, a Brazilian spitfire we've yet to learn much about. She's engaged to a European (I think) twice her age and loves a good dance sandwich. The only thing that comes to mind when I think of Adriana is Gloria from Modern Family. So far, she's just another trollop from Miami.

Alexia... Alexia, the self-proclaimed Cuban Barbie with the ability to form sentences. Her sons are cute, if not a bit slow. Can't blame them. If my parent were wealthy and I lived in Miami, I'd skip all that intellectual ballyoo as well.

Who needs to learn the alphabet when you're that pretty and your mom is young enough to pass as your sister? Alexia is married to a magazine honcho named Herman, and hushes the naysayers who claim she's not attracted to him (he's old enough to be her father).

When people ask Alexia what she sees in her hubby, she simply tells them, "Once you get to know us, you see how it works and why it works." That's love.

Have you met Marysol? She's the middle-aged PR exec with a psychic mother who resembles the cat lady! Like other members of this esteemed cast, Marysol is well-educated, well-traveled and wants you to know it.

The MIA ladies don't know a thing about tact, but who needs such a thing when you're rich and flashy-trashy? Marysol was married for a time, then got divroced. She soon hit forty and found herself the object of many a young man's affection.

Rounding out the rodent pack is Christy, who was once married to NBA star Glen Rice. Christy resembles Dina Lohan, which accounts for part of the reason I dislike her. She strikes me as a bitch, and not the kind of bitch I'd like on my side.

The kind of bitch I'd want on my side would be someone like JWoww. While JWoww is loyal, honest and tough, Christy is just rude, arrogant and a little snotty (and a bit nouveau-riche, mayhaps?). My television couch partner/roommate dubbed Rice the "Latina Lohan."

These women are arrogant and probably on the brink of financial ruin, if Housewives history serves me correctly. I'm agitated that we had to delay The Real Housewives Of New York for this back-up plan.

Playboy covergirl makes Bollywood debut with 'Aazaan' (Movie Snippets) - bollywood news gossips

New Delhi, Feb 23 (IANS) Playboy covergirl Candice Boucher will make her Bollywood debut as a sand artist in director Prashant Chadha's "Aazaan".

Acclaimed sand artist Alexandra Konofalskaya was flown down from Belarus to train Candice for her role.

"I never imagined myself in a Bollywood film but now I'm looking forward to its premiere. I love your country and I want to see a lot of India," she said in a press statement.

"Aazaan" is an international espionage film about an informant who has to go undercover beyond enemy lines to save the nation from destruction by biological warfare.

"While scripting the film, I felt that Candice would make the perfect mystery miss. Given that she's a Playboy covergirl, the instant connect is, 'She must be hot.' She is but there's also a certain vulnerability that makes her more appealing," said Chadha, who made his directorial debut with Himesh Reshammiyaa starrer "Aap Ka Surroor".

Onir's 'I AM' ready for April release

Director Onir's "I AM", co-produced by over 400 people from 35 cities across the world, is now ready to hit the screens April 22.

"I AM" is a tale of four stories woven together that take audiences through issues and dilemmas that bruise modern Indian society.

The film unfolds many a tale of individuals struggling to find their identity, and uphold their dignity in a world that is callous, cold and unsympathetic.

The film bagged NETPAC Award for the Best in Asian Cinema at the International Film Festival of Kerala and many more honours.

The ensemble cast includes Juhi Chawla, Rahul Bose, Nandita Das, Sanjay Suri, Purab Kohli, Arjun Mathur, Abhimanyu Singh and Manisha Koirala. The film also marks the acting debut of directors Anurag Kashyap and Anurag Basu.

"The industry is looking forward to the release of 'I AM' since it's a movie with a soul. We can expect stellar performances for the cast and it's got its heart in the right place," said a source.

"I AM" is being distributed by PVR across India

It's difficult to play a legend's role: Neha Dhupia

Neha Dhupia, who plays Eva Braun in "Dear Friend Hitler", says that it is difficult to play legends on screen.

"Playing the role of Hitler's companion Eva Brown was very challenging. She was a legend in a way and I feel it is diffifcult to play legandary characters on screen," said the 30-year-old at presentation on the City Of Dreams Macau resort adjacent to Hong Kong. She has been appointed the official celebrity guide of the project.

"It has been a task for me, but I took it very sportingly as I belive in extending and exploring my horizons. I am a firm believer of pushing one's envelope and experincing the unkown," she added.

The film is Amrapali Media Vision's first production and is directed by Rakesh Ranjan Kumar. The film also stars Nalin Singh and Raghuveer Yadav.

Chris Brown Restraining Order: Lifted! - hollywood news gossips

Two years after making contact with her so severely that she lost consciousness and he nearly landed in jail, Chris Brown is free to contact Rihanna again.

A judge just lifted the restraining order prohibiting Brown from going near Rihanna, so long as he does not harass, annoy, or molest his former girlfriend.

Brown appeared in court in L.A., where a judge replaced Rihanna's restraining order with a less-severe Level One order, stipulating the terms above.

 THE OLD DAYS: This VMA hotness seems like years ago.

Rihanna was not in court, but her attorney Donald Etra was, telling the judge that his client has no objection to the new order and new arrangement.

It's unclear if the two actually plan on having contact, or if this was just a formality - Brown's complied with probation, so the order should be lifted.

If nothing else, award shows could be a little less awkward now.

Mel Gibson Worried Oksana Might Skate - hollywood news gossips

Mel Gibson isn't nearly as worried about being charged with domestic violence as he is about his baby mama NOT being charged with extortion, TMZ reports.

Either Mel believes he won't face a domestic violence charge or he just feels that strongly Oksana Grigorieva tried to bilk him, but that's where his mind is.

He believes there is more than enough evidence to prove Oksana used the explosive Mel Gibson rants as leverage to score a $15 million payday last May.







 MOTHER OF ALL BREAKUPS: They don't get any worse than this.

However, he fears politics of prosecution could get in the way. As for the alleged violence, he claims he only slapped her once - to protect their daughter.

Oksana's ex Timothy Dalton may testify against Gibson, reports suggest, but the credibility of Oksana has been called into question on many occasions.

The D.A. is currently mulling over the two case files, with the investigation having wrapped last week. So far, no decision has been made regarding either.

The couple is also actively engaged in a custody fight over Lucia, 1.

Justin Bieber Haircut: The Official Debut - hollywood news gossips

Thanks to the magic of Twitter and the Internet, we've all seen Justin Bieber's haircut already.

But the singer officially goes public with the shorter 'do on Ellen, sitting across from the host and handing her a gift about which all women dream: a box of his own hair.

"We're doing something special," Justin says on the episode that airs today. "We want you to donate it to whatever charity you want," adding that many others will be receiving their own unique, follicle-laden present.

It's a great move by the wildly popular artist. Multiple organizations will benefit from the softest, most gorgeous head Rick Fox has ever touched.

Nelly Furtado: 'I have listened to Lata Mangeskar songs and I really like her songs' - bollywood news gossips

Mumbai, Feb. 23 -- Indian diva Lata Mangeshkar has an unlikely fan. Canadian singer Nelly Furtado says, "I have listened to Lata Mangeshkar and I really like her songs." Furtado, who released her greatest hits compilation, The Best of Nelly Furtado in November last year, has previously credited Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan among her music influences. The album, though critically acclaimed, has not lived up to the singer's previous work. But Furtado still remains unmoved by the lack of album sales. "My album has done well and I'm more than happy," she says.

Furtado first shot to fame in 2000 with her Grammy winning single 'I'm like a bird' from the album Whoa Nelly. In the next 10 years, she continued to churn out hits through albums like Folklore, Loose and Mi Plan as well as numerous singles. But a greatest hits compilation after just a decade in the music business seemed to be a risky proposition. "2010 was the best time for me to celebrate the 10 years of my career. I also wanted to come up with duets that my fans would like to have on one album. That's how I came up with this album," says Furtado.

The album features all of Furtado's biggest hits, plus three new hits. "It was important for it to have my biggest hits, including collaborations. During my early days, I used to play in concert or jazz bands. The artists I have worked with have opened career opportunities for me," she reveals, when asked about the criteria for song selection.

Furtado mentions that her fans' top choice was the single 'Try', saying, "That's the song that fans mentioned to me more than any other. It really helped me through difficult crises in my life. When I sing this song live, there's a lot of emotion in the audience. There's a lot of crying going on and I cry as well."
