Reese Witherspoon is alive and well

000-Reese-Witherspoon

Once again whil the rest of us were enjoying the Olympics and a quiet lull in celebrity scandals, Twitter has reared its ugly head and tried to kill off one of Hollywood's most adorable stars.

Reese Witherspoon became a trending topic on the social networking site on Wednesday - presumably because of her new movie The Beard - which then spun off into a death hoax rumour. And not content to have the pregnant actress die once, tweets had her dying twice: once in a vicious stabbing, the second time of natural causes.

This isn't the first incident of Reese Witherspoon's rumoured demise by stabbing. The Sweet Home Alabama star has had two fake deaths by stabbing in the past decade (2006 and 2010).

In reality, very pregnant Witherspoon and her husband were out and about shopping at Whole Foods that day. All is right with the world. At ease, everyone!

Behind the scenes at the 2012 MMVAs: The Friends With Benefits lounge

Roof-top

Ok, sure, the Much Music Video Awards are about doling out some accolades to the brightest and best solo artists, duos and groups. But there's a lot more that happens before these stars get dolled up and walk the red carpet!

This year Universal Music paired up with Red Bull 381 Projects space to launch the "Friends with Benefits" gifting lounge where talent was invited to come take a load off, have a Licks burger and peruse a variety of items from companies like Toywatch Canada, Rudsak, Purdy's Chocolates and Rdio. (I was also lucky enough to get the VIP treatment and make off with both stunning and delicious goodies, like this bright timepiece from ToyWatch's new St. Tropez collection.)

According to her report filed with the Los Angeles Police Department, the 32-year-old actor was last seen the morning of May 9.

Back in February, Rose allegedly filed court papers for separation and also asked a judge to limit Stahl's access to their 2-year-old daughter, expressing concerns that the actor may be using drugs.

Breaking: Dick Clark dead at 82

 120418-Dick-Clark

New Year's Rockin' Eve host and legendary TV personality Dick Clark has died, reports TMZ. (ABC News confirms.) He was 82.

Spokesman Paul Shefrin said Clark suffered a heart attack Wednesday morning at Saint John's hospital in Santa Monica, California, a day after he was admitted for an outpatient procedure. Attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.

Details surrounding his death are unclear, but Clark had suffered a significant stroke in 2004, which forced him to retire from his hosting gig at New Years' Rockin' Eve. Ryan Seacrest took over the special in 2006, with Clark appearing alongside ever since.

In 1956, Clark got his big break hosting Bob Horn's Bandstand, which eventually became American Bandstand -- which he would continue to host and eventually produce until 1989.

Clark has three children from his first two marriages. He is survived by his current wife, Kari Wigton.

Update: Brangelina engagement CONFIRMED! Stop the presses!

120413-Brangelina2

And a happy Friday the 13th to all you Brangie worshippers! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are officially one step closer to walking down the aisle.

"Yes, it's confirmed," Cynthia Pett-Dante, Pitt's manager told USA Today in a statement. "It is a promise for the future, and their kids are very happy. There's no date set at this time."

The Hollywood Reporter reported earlier today that a Beverly Hills jeweler, by the name of Robert Procop, confirmed that he made an engagement ring for Angelina Jolie, "designed in collaboration with Brad Pitt." (Pett-Dante confirms that Brad did design the ring.)

Jolie stepped out earlier this week with the ring on her finger - yes, the right finger (which is of course, her left) - at a private event at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's Chinese Galleries.

(That soft weeping you hear in the distance is Jennifer Aniston.)

What do you think about the couple's happy news?

Have you SEEN these pictures of Coco?

Are you well acquainted with Coco Austin? No?

The buxom blond is probably best known these days for being married to rapper-actor Ice-T and having a series on E! called Ice loves Coco. And good on them for it! In a day where reality TV mocks the vows of marriage, these two have found one another and are celebrating their love.

Anyway, here she is out in New York City walking her dog. And while the outfit screams "TAKE MY PICTURE! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAAAAIIIIN!" we'll give Coco (whose real name is Nicole Natalie Marrow) some props for carrying baggies and picking up after her dog. However, we ask that you never break out this neon coral ensemble again please.

George Clooney arrested

000-George-Clooney

George Clooney has been arrested outside the Sudanese Embassy in Washington, D.C., Friday morning. Clooney was leading a protest in front of the embassy when - after three verbal warnings - he and several other activists were handcuffed and led away by police.

Clooney's publicist Stan Rosenfield told TMZ, "They were protesting the violence committed by the government of Sudan on its own innocent men, women and children. They were demanding they allow humanitarian aid into the country before it becomes the largest humanitarian crisis in the world."

CNN reports that Clooney met with President Barack Obama on Thursday to discuss his concerns about Sudan.

Additionally, the Ocean's 11 star testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee this week about violence in the Nuba Mountains in South Kordofan, a state in Sudan near its border with newly independent South Sudan. (Click here to read more about Clooney's appearance before the Senate Committee.)

So far there are reports that at least a dozen people have been arrested including congressmen, Sudanese citizens and George's dad, Nick Clooney.

UPDATE:

A few hours after his arrest, Clooney was released from police custody.  He spoke with reporters and reiterated what he was trying to achieve.

"What we're trying to achieve today is we're trying to bring attention to an ongoing emergency," Clooney told reporters.  "Our job is to bring attention to it, and one of those ways was, apparently, get arrested."

Clooney joked that this was his first time behind bars.

"It was my first arrest, thanks for asking. And let's hope it's my last."

Angelina Jolie's leg steals the show and is now a running gag. (Ha.)

It's right about now in the day that we start to worry people on the internet (ourselves included) have too much time on their hands:

120227-Angelina-Jolie-legs

But in case you do now want to follow Angie's limbs on Twitter, her right leg (the significantly more popular one, apparently) is on the social networking site. So is her left one.

Oh - and while we're talking body parts and the Oscars, J. Lo's nipple is also on the scene (and significantly funnier than Angie's legs); and People's Sexiest Man Bradley Cooper's facial hair has spawned a few accounts. We're fans of the delightfully cheeky @BradleysStache, if we had to pick.

Is Snooki pregnant?

120201-Snooki

Is there a bun in the MTV reality star's oven? Oh my goodness, we hope not!

That being said, it looks like our prayers that the cast of the Jersey Shore have been sterilized might go unheard. Star Magazine is teasing its upcoming issue saying that it has exclusively learned Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is expecting with her on/off boyfriend of a year, Jionni LaValle.  

The pint-sized Polizzi, 24, seems to be dropping clues on Twitter too: "Late night craving… yogurt hits the fricken spot!" she tweeted on Jan. 24. (However, she's also been posting several photos on the social media site showing off her slender new figure and is rumoured to be down to 98 lbs. Clearly Twitter might not the place to get bump confirmation.)

The pickle-loving Snooki is currently shopping around a spin-off reality show with her Jersey Shore BFF Jenni "JWOWW" Farley, which RadarOnline reports to now include Snooki and her impending little bundle of joy. "They are having to redo the creative direction of her spin-off because of her pregnancy."

An open letter to David Boreanaz

Hey David,
Longtime fan, first time fan letter writer here.

Love your work - Joss Whedon gave you a perfect character on Buffy; you got to go from playing tortured soulful good guy Angel to total badass and ultimate villain Angelus and back again. I was skeptical of the Angel spin-off in 1999, but it totally worked. (OK, it was a little wonky in the middle to be fair, but it went out on a fun note.)

And now Bones - sure the demo skews a little older, but still I'm there and love it. You are a solid actor. I have no criticisms there! What we need to talk about is your red carpet protocol. You've got it all wrong. Let's have a look, shall we:

One of these things is not like the other: Guess which Kardashian might not be a Kardashian

120111-Kardashians

Get ready to clutch your pearls, people. This one’s a doozy!

Kris Jenner may have had an affair with a really tall milkman because a report that’s about to crash the Web claims Khloe is NOT a Kardashian! Just as we’re getting a handle on Kim’s shocking split from Kris Humphries, here comes word there may be a reason the youngest of the Kardashian sisters is a foot taller than the rest.

Robert Kardashian’s ex-wife and his widow have come forward in a Star magazine exclusive in which they both claim the late Kardashian expressed doubts about his daughter, who has been forced to ignore similar rumours for years while appearing alongside her far more petite sisters. “Khloe is not his kid - he told me that after we got married,” Jan Ashley, 63, the woman who married Robert after Kris Jenner, revealed to Star.

And Ellen Kardashian, who married Robert in 2003 just two months before his death, also came forward to “tell the truth” about the Kardashian family. “Khloe brought it up all the time,” Ellen told Star. “She looked nothing like the rest. She was tall, had a different shape, light hair, curly hair. Didn’t look anything like the other three children.”

Adding fuel to the fire is Jenner’s recent admission in her book that she cheated on her first husband.

What do you think of the scandalous claims? Could the cracks in the foundation spell the beginning of the end of the Kardashian empire?

Flashback Friday: Reminiscing on Regis Philbin

111118-Regis-Kathie-Lee3

True story kids. After 28 (and a half) seasons on Live! ol' Reeg took his final bow this morning in New York City. It was a star-studded affair with big personalities like Donald Trump, Tony Danza and Kathie Lee Gifford all in the audience to wish him well. There were lots of montages, a key to the city presented by Mayor Bloomberg and of course, Kelly Ripa giving an emotional (and almost tearful) goodbye speech.

But did Philbin shed a tear? NO! He's a professional. This isn't Oprah's grand farewell. There's not much else to say, that Ripa and a week's worth of guests and Philbin friends didn't already say for us. Let's just cruise down memory lane with some fun photos from the good old days. We'll miss you Regis!

Fan fiction kind of comes to life: Prince Harry and Pippa Middleton's hot hook-up?

001-Ass-grab

Could it be!? Is that Prince Harry grabbing Pippa Middleton's bottom? Did some insider leak photos of what we all wished would happen?

Sadly, no.

This is not a photo from the unofficial Royal Wedding after party. Instead contemporary artist Alison Jackson used lookalikes to recreate the night and give us some photos to accompany the fan fiction we all tried to write that day: Hot Harry and saucy Pippa's one night stand.

It would have been a best seller.

Gaga can wear it, you can't: so dress safe

One of the pros of being a famously eccentric pop star is that you can wear fashions that everyday people's can't; heck, you can even wear fashions that fictional characters couldn't even step to. That's why, regardless of whether I'll continue to like her music or not (which I do) -- Gaga will always rate high in my "swagger to emulate" list with fashion choices like these:

Gaga1

Now you might be asking yourself: who dresses like this? The answer: Gaga dresses like this. And that's the point. You can't pull this off, I can't pull this off, these guys couldn't pull this off:

And that's what makes this lady kinda great.

Justin Bieber paternity drama turned into online game

Bieberonlinegame

Justin Bieber's baby drama has been turned into an online game called "Bieber Fever: Who's The Daddy?" The game is based on the storm of controversy surrounding 20-year-old Mariah Yeater's claim that Justin Bieber, 17, fathered her four-month-old son after an alleged backstage romp at a concert in Los Angeles.

Online company Blighty designed the game, which challenges players to hurl paternity tests at a ducking and dodging Bieber.

"The Bieber ‘baby’ is the showbiz story everyone’s talking about," company co-founder Chris Evans told "The Daily Star." "We wanted to poke fun at the whole situation. I don’t think Justin will be playing but hopefully he will see it’s a bit of harmless fun."

Do you agree? Is the game a bit of harmless fun or is it unjustly making light of a serious situation? Let us know what you think in the comments section...

"Bieber Fever: Who's The Daddy?" can be played here.

Eddie Murphy exits as host of this year's Academy Awards

111109-Eddie-Murphy

This just in: Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak announced that Eddie Murphy has withdrawn as host of the 84th Academy Awards.

The announcement comes on the heels of Brett Ratner's resignation as co-producer yesterday, following his slur about gays and comments he made about his sex life.

"First and foremost I want to say that I completely understand and support each party's decision with regard to a change of producers for this year's Academy Awards ceremony. I was truly looking forward to being a part of the show that our production team and writers were just starting to develop, but I'm sure that the new production team and host will do an equally great job," commented Murphy.

Added Sherak: "I appreciate how Eddie feels about losing his creative partner, Brett Ratner, and we all wish him well."

Fantasy casting: The Kris Humphries story

But before that happens we'd like to see the Lifetime TV-movie-of-the-week documenting his struggle to fame... and subsequent fall. And in our eyes, there's only one actor who could portray Kris...

""It's true – I'm going to be a mummy!" she tweeted Monday, posting the above photo of her dressed as, yep, a mummy.

This will be the first child for the singer, 31, and her former NFL pro fiancé Eric Johnson, 32. Still no word on when the soon-to-be-parents plan on tying the knot though!

It's become increasingly apparent in the past week or so, that Keibler's moved up a level on the Clooney relationship ladder. She's now allowed to attend premieres on his arm (and not just be the red carpet warmer that she was back in September when her best-case-scenario was being the first to arrive and meeting George inside). Which means she's had to step up her wardrobe too - thank goodness because Morticia Addams wants this one back.

How pregnant is she? That really is the nugget at the centre of the folding fake bump controversy. I don't doubt she's having a baby -  I do doubt real bump size (who's got a patent pending on the "belly bump-it" to boost your baby's bump?). Mostly I feel sorry for her because the whole world is just going to continue to speculate on surrogate conspiracies and other potential bump blunders.

Music star look-a-likes

Zkatyperryzooeydechanel

American actress Zooey Deschanel is sick of being mistaken for Katy Perry but it's easy to see why it happens. On the cover of September's "New York Magazine," Zooey was once again questioned about the resemblance, saying: "I literally met her twice about six years ago. It's a strange relationship to have with somebody. I probably answer more questions about her than my own family."

We understand Zooey's frustrations but you have to admit, they do look a lot alike, which got us thinking about other celebs that resemble each other.

True, I do take summer's end quite personally but it's not that. Nope, it's the beginning of the Toronto International Film Festival coming up.

And now it's here! And we're there -- well, here -- in Toronto covering it.

In 1957 French literary theorist Roland Barthes included an essay called “The Face of Garbo” in his collection of essays “Mythologies.” Without getting all school-y and everything (first day back kids, ease into it), Barthes deconstructed actress Greta Garbo’s now-iconic face – as in, there’s her actual face (eyes, nose, lips, cheeks -- check) and then there is THE FACE, the cinematic one, the one that’s imbued with all manner of otherworldliness by us, the enraptured audience.

Of course the name with the biggest buzz - Nancy Grace - had already been shouted from the rooftops by TMZ earlier in the day, but that didn't make it any less buzz-worthy.

The question remains though: who's going to have the courage to tell her her footwork was sloppy during her jive? We're not saying she's destined to be an awful competitor! We just want to know who'll have the conviction to criticize her if she is. The money's on Bruno. And we're not the only people wondering. Check out what her CNN mates Piers Morgan and Anderson Cooper had to say about it.

So who else is going to go head-to-head on the dance floor for the trophy?
