Michelle Keegan blames nude Instagram photo on her friend
5 April 2013 2:18 PM, PDT
Twitter users who follow Michelle Keegan were treated to quite the surprise when a photo seemingly showing the British soap opera actress's bare breasts was posted to her Instagram account. It was deleted after only six seconds, but it was reposted enough that Keegan has had to come to her own defense and explain that it was just a prank.
Keegan blames friend Hayley Moynihan for gaining access to her Instagram and posting the inappropriate picture, which can be seen at The Sun (warning: the image is uncensored). "Her friend got her passwords," Keegan's agent tells the outlet.
The confusion about whether the picture was real or fake came because Keegan had just posted an image of herself taking a bubble bath. The breasts picture was also taken in a bath, though with noticeably fewer bubbles.
Keegan has taken the entire incident in stride, tweeting at Moynihan, "Phahahahahahahahaha @hmonners I'm gonna absolutely Kill u! »

'Iron Man 3' clip: Tony Stark has a message for The Mandarin
5 April 2013 2:13 PM, PDT
All kinds of posters and trailers have been released for the upcoming "Iron Man 3." However, Friday brings the first full clip of the movie, a portion of which was seen in the newest TV spot.
The clip features Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) being swarmed by the media, asking what he has to say about the film's villain, The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley). "Here's a little holiday greeting I've been wanting to send to The Mandarin. I just didn't know how to say it until now" he says, "My name is Tony Stark and I'm not afraid of you."
He calls The Mandarin a coward, adding "I've decided that you just died, pal. And I'm going to come get the body." Stark says he is motivated by nothing but revenge, and gives his home address on the off-chance the villain will face him. Several trailers have shown the complete destruction of that very house. »

'Evil Dead' box office debut draws bloody good grosses
5 April 2013 1:44 PM, PDT
The remake of cult horror favorite "Evil Dead" is already drawing blood at the box office, grossing an estimated $1.8 million from midnight moviegoers.
Although "Evil Dead" officially opens today (April 5), the growing trend in "midnight shows" -- which often now include 10 p.m. screenings the night before opening -- has helped get the movie off to a strong start. The $1.8 million gross is a notch ahead of the $1.6 million the remake of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" brought in from midnight shows in 2010, according to BoxOfficeMojo.
The "Elm Street" remake went on to gross $32.9 million in its opening weekend (and rapidly crumbled from there leading to a final gross of $63 million). "Evil Dead" is now pretty much guaranteed to meet industry forecasts and open with over $20 million for the weekend. Not bad for a movie with a reported budget of just $17 million. (Fun fact: 1983's "Evil Dead" grossed just $2.4 million during its entire run, »

Danielle Fishel and Lance Bass went to prom together, and there's a picture to prove it
5 April 2013 1:42 PM, PDT
True story: Danielle Fishel and Lance Bass went to prom together. The two dated from 1999 to 2000 when both were at the height of their fame, and it turns out that their busy schedules proved problematic for attending school dances.
"When I was a senior in high school I asked my boyfriend at the time if he would go to prom with me, because my boyfriend at the time was Lance Bass. So I had to make sure his schedule would allow for prom," Fishel reveals in a PopSugar video blog. "Unfortunately he told me no, because he was going to be in Japan and I was so sad."
Don't worry, "Boy Meets World" and 'N Sync fans, because this story has a happy ending. A week later, Bass sent Fishel "three dozen roses in the mail with a card that said, 'Plans have changed, I'll be in town. Can I take you to prom? »

5 April 2013 1:22 PM, PDT
The sports world could be in for quite a shock as four gay pro football players might come out of the closet together, according to Brendon Ayanbadejo.
Ayanbadejo, who was recently released from the Baltimore Ravens roster, tells the Baltimore Sun that conversations have taken place to organize as many as four players to reveal their sexuality simultaneously.
"I think it will happen sooner than you think," Ayanbadejo, who has fiercely advocated for marriage equality and gay rights, says. "We're in talks with a handful of players who are considering it. There are up to four players being talked to right now and they're trying to be organized so they can come out on the same day together."
Ayanbadejo says that the hope is for multiple players to share the spotlight and, possibly, the backlash. "It would make a major splash and take the pressure off one guy. It would »

Michelle Obama accidentally calls herself a single mom
5 April 2013 1:20 PM, PDT
Michelle Obama had a little slip of the tongue during an interview with a CBS affiliate in Burlington, Vt. The first lady accidentally refers to herself as a "busy single mother." Then she explains it's actually her husband, President Barack Obama, who's so busy she feels single.
Mrs. Obama was trying to get the message across that actual single moms don't always have the resources to feed their children healthy food. "Believe me," she starts. "As a busy single mother -- or, I shouldn't say 'single.' As a busy mother ... sometimes when you've got the husband who is president, it can feel a little single. But he's there."
After catching her flub, Mrs. Obama continued. "But as a busy working mom, and before coming to the White House, I was in that position as well," she says. "Working, driving kids to practice, not having enough time to shop or cook. »

Paris Jackson spends birthday with birth mother Debbie Rowe
5 April 2013 1:20 PM, PDT
Michael Jackson might have had sole custody of his daughter Paris Jackson since she was age 3, but the King of Pop's daughter is now trying to reconnect with her birth mother. Though they didn't have a relationship when Paris was a child, it's being reported that Paris spent the majority of her 15th birthday with Jackson's ex, Debbie Rowe.
Rowe and Jackson were married from 1996 to 1999. As part of their multi-million dollar divorce settlement, Rowe gave Jackson full custody of their two children, Prince and Paris. She remained estranged from her children through Jackson's death in 2009.
However, TMZ reports that Paris and her birth mother have met "a number of times recently," and spent a good part of Paris's April 3 birthday together. "The two just hung out. They've gotten really tight," the site's source says.
Rowe explained her estranged relationship with her children in the television documentary "The Michael Jackson »

5 photos of pregnant Kate Middleton playing sports in high heels
5 April 2013 12:49 PM, PDT
Kate Middleton is not going to let a little baby bump stop her from showing off her legendary ping pong skills. Or her lesser known basketball skills, for that matter. The royal mommy-to-be, whose due date is mid-July, and husband Prince William made a stop on their tour of Scotland to entertain some kids at a Glasgow homeless shelter.
Kate's emerald ring sparkled as she faced Will in a ping pong match before the pair took turns shooting hoops. Lest it go unnoticed, the fashionable mama wore high-heeled boots throughout the sportsmanship display.
Any bets on who won this match?
That ring though ...
Holding your mouth opens helps with aim.
That basket looks awfully high ... good thing for high heels.
Eat your heart out, Steve Nash! »

Did Prince Jackson go on a date with Kuwaiti Princess Remi Alfalah?
5 April 2013 12:44 PM, PDT
If Prince Michael Jackson was going to date anyone, it makes sense that he would go for a princess. The 16-year-old son of Michael Jackson reportedly went on a bowling date with Remi Alfalah, a Kuwaiti princess.
According to TMZ, the pair met at the private school they both attend. Prince and Remi went to Pinz Bowling Center in Studio City, Cal. on Wednesday for their date. She was dropped off in a black SUV, but Prince drove her home at the end of the night.
Love is in the air in high school this week, after rumors have also linked Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon to "Homeland" star Timothee Chalamet. They also reportedly met at school. »

5 April 2013 12:14 PM, PDT
"American Idol" runner up Adam Lambert has split up with his longtime boyfriend, Sauli Koskinen, according to a report from Sfgn.com. The website claims that despite the break-up, Koskinen -- a Finnish TV reporter -- remains close friends with Lambert.
"Sauli and I remain really good friends, and I know it's a cliché thing to say. But it's totally true," Lambert tells the site. "I just gave him a coffee and bagel earlier today. He's a great person and we've had an amazing couple of years together. Things have just run their course."

Halle Berry pregnant with Olivier Martinez's baby and they know the sex - report
5 April 2013 11:52 AM, PDT
"X-Men" star Halle Berry is pregnant again. According to a report from TMZ, the actress is reportedly three months along with her second child.
Evidently Halle and her fiance, Olivier Martinez, already know the sex of the child, as well. The couple are having a baby boy. Berry already has a 5-year-old daughter, Nahla Ariela Aubry, with former fiance Gabriel Aubry.
The pregnancy may further explain Martinez and Berry's reaction to a large group of paparazzi recently. The couple were returning from vacation when they were swarmed by the photographers at the Los Angeles International airport. After Halle demanded they leave be left alone, as Nahla was with them, Olivier tried to go after one of the overzealous photogs. Halle held him back, gathering her family in a black SUV.
It's yet to be seen how the pregnancy will affect filming of "X-Men: Days of Future Past," which recently announced »

Stephen Colbert mocks Jeremy Irons' gay remarks
5 April 2013 11:00 AM, PDT
Jeremy Irons upset plenty of people with his comparison of gay marriage to incest, and Stephen Colbert took him to task for his comments on "The Colbert Report." In a bit where Colbert talked about critics of gay marriage, he showed a clip of Irons' statements on the issue.
"I just worry about that. I mean, tax-wise is an interesting one, because you see, could a father not marry his son?" Irons had said. "It's not incest between men. Incest is there to protect us from having inbreeding. But men don't breed, so incest wouldn't cover that. Now if that was so, then if I wanted to pass on my estate without death duties, I could marry my son and pass on my estate to him. I don't have a strong feeling either way."
That opened up a clear shot for Colbert to mock Irons' now-impending marriage to his actor son Max Irons. »

5 April 2013 10:25 AM, PDT
Even Kate Middleton doesn't know exactly when she can expect her first child to be born. When asked about her due date at a charity event in Glasgow, Scotland, the pregnant Duchess admitted that she wasn't entirely sure when the latest addition to the British royal family will be born.
"It's around mid-July but apparently babies have their own agenda," Middleton told reporters, via E! News.
Back in January, the Royal Family confirmed in a statement that the Duchess of Cambridge was expecting her first child with husband Prince William in July 2013.
"Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to confirm they are expecting a baby in July. The Duchess's condition continues to improve since her stay in hospital last month," the official release said.
Palace insiders have said that the royal couple doesn't plan to reveal the child's gender before it is born. »

Jamie Lynn Spears tweets old Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears photo, confuses fans
5 April 2013 8:43 AM, PDT
It sounds like Jamie Lynn Spears wanted to take a walk down memory lane Thursday night (April 4), when she took to Twitter to post the above photo of herself as a young girl, riding in a car with sister Britney Spears and Britney's then-boyfriend Justin Timberlake.
Jamie Lynn included with the picture, "@jtimberlake Weird hearing ur music as an Adult. Ha. Not only do I appreciate it. I Get it. #jay #crymeariver #mirror."
However, the tweet was soon deleted and it sounds as though it was because Britney's fans were none too happy with Jamie Lynn's tweeting at Timberlake about his Britney break-up song.
One fan remarks, "'Cry Me a River' hashtag? The infamous track about Britney? I feel uncomfortable."
Jamie Lynn quickly replaced her nostalgia-fueled tweet with, "I hope you all know that my tweets are only to support my sister @britneyspears - anything left over was to @jtimberlake #sisterlove #4eva. »

Amanda Bynes: 'I have an eating disorder so I have a hard time staying thin'
5 April 2013 7:45 AM, PDT
Amanda Bynes is at it again. If you'll recall, last month she tweeted that she wanted Drake to murder her lady parts and then decided she might sue over negative media coverage of her, then earlier this week she claimed that photos of her looking less-than-stellar were actually of an imposter.
Now she's gone off on another rant on Twitter, about her weight and the media.
Two days ago, Bynes tweets, "Skinny's The F***." Whatever that means. Then on Thursday (April 4), she let loose with:
"I'm suing certain blogs and magazines saying I have a mental illness! They take pictures anytime I've gained weight then write a fake story!""I have an eating disorder so I have a hard time staying thin.""They write a news article about every tweet I write and I hate the pictures they choose. They repeat what I tweet then add a bad photo.""Only »
