  • This Is What Hollywood's Most Bankable Actress Might Look Like

    And how she compares to the average porn star.

    Ever wonder what the ten highest-paid actresses in Hollywood would look like all morphed together? Wonder no more.
    The face above is a mashup of the female stars with the biggest paychecks between May 2011 and May 2012, as listed by Forbes. It was inspired by writer and analyst Jon Millward's morph of the 10 most popular porn actresses:

    The average porn star face appears much softer than the averaged face of Hollywood's most bankable stars — the latter is more angular and unusual-looking. Millward's morphing technology might be better than BuzzFeed's, but a quick look at the ten faces that went into each morph reveals that the porn actresses appear a bit rounder-faced and softer-featured than the Hollywood stars in general.
    The "average" top Hollywood actress is also older — the average age of the 2012 top 10 was about 41 years. Meanwhile Millward reports that the average porn actress does her first film at 22 and stays in the business just three years.
    And porn stars are most likely paid way less. A porn agent told The Hollywood Reporter last year that the highest-earning female stars in the business can make $350,000 or more a year, with the average around $50,000. But Kristen Stewart, 2012's highest-paid Hollywood star, made $34.5 million that year, or almost 100 times what a top porn star makes.

  • Lindsay Lohan Borrows & Cuts Up Expensive Dress

    With the help of Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan borrowed this fancy Theia dress for the AmFAR gala earlier this month. The only problem? It was twice as long before she got her grubby little paws on it.
    Charlie called in a favor from Phillip Bloch in order to style Lindsay for the ritzy event. She wore this lovely floor-length ball gown to the party. Afterward, she wore the dress to a nightclub, but apparently somehow it got ripped.
    So instead of trying to find something to change into so that a professional could take a look at possibly repairing the dress, she got a pal to get some scissors from a bouncer so that she could cut it in half.
    Lovely, isn't it? She just chopped in half a dress that she didn't even pay for. Sad. This girl needs a lesson in humility.
  • Catherine Zeta-Jones & Michael Douglas Deny Split Story

    Just yesterday, reports were making the rounds that Catherine Zeta-Jones and her husband Michael Douglas were headed for divorce court. It was all due to the above magazine cover released by the National Enquirer.
    The tabloid said that their marriage "buckled under the pressure of dealing with Michael's cancer battle, his son Cameron's incarceration on drugs charges and Catherine's struggle with bipolar II disorder."
    A source reportedly told the publication, "Michael said something to the effect that he and Catherine were taking a 'time out', and he was looking forward to having an entire house as his personal man cave."
    Even worse, the snitch that things had taken a downturn when Catherine didn't show up for a special screening of Kirk Douglas' famous movie, Spartacus last year. Their source said, "Michael made some lame excuse, but when she skipped the family dinner, it was obvious that something was not right. I think he felt completely betrayed that Catherine didn't show up."
    Despite all of that, reps for the couple say that she was, in fact, at the dinner. Even still, the twosome are denying the split rumors entirely. A source said, "It's because of Dylan and Carys that Michael and Catherine aren't giving up on each other. But only time will tell if they can make things work over the long haul."
    Did you buy into the split rumors in the first place?
  • Josh Brolin & Diane Lane Are Divorcing

    After a total of eight years of marriage, Josh Brolin and his wife Diane Lane are calling it quits! Is there anything left in Hollywood to shock us normal folks? Us Magazine reports:
    Josh Brolin and Diane Lane are going their separate ways. A little more than eight years after they tied the knot, the Cinema Verite actress, 48, and her Gangster Squad actor husband, 45, have split, reps for the couple tell Us Weekly exclusively.
    "Diane Lane and Josh Brolin have decided to end their marriage," the reps tell Us. Adds an insider: "It was a mutual decision. It is very amicable. It's not ugly, it's just over."
    The spouses, who married in August 2004, split a couple of months ago. They have no children together.
    This will be the second divorce for both stars. Lane was previously wed to actor Christopher Lambert from 1988 to 1994 — the same years in which Brolin was married to actress Alice Adair, with whom he has two kids, Trevor, 24, and Eden, 18.
    Both Oscar-nominated, Brolin and Lane enjoyed some happy times together. Speaking about his wife in 2010, the actor said, "I mean, check her out, man. My relationship with my wife is fantastic."
    Let's hope that there is no drama involved in their split!
  • Jenny McCarthy Farted On An Airplane

    We're still not sure why this is news, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to put out a story about a former Playmate farting on an airplane. Lulz. According to reports, Jenny McCarthy was left rather embarrassed when she passed gas on an airplane.
    She experienced some rather embarrassing flatulence and had no other choice but to let it all out on the plane. Those poor passengers! Ha.
    Isn't it funny how people can make such a fuss over something that happens to everyone? She's a celebrity, so that must mean that her farts don't stink?
    She said in a new interview, "I accidentally farted on an airplane sitting next to a stranger. It was embarrassing because he recognized me and it was a loud and deadly one! I immediately did a little scream and turned on the air vent to get rid of the smell. I then put a blanket over my head, it was horrible."
    OMG U GUISE! FARTS!
  • Hugh Hefner Pranked With Swatting

    Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner has apparently become the latest victim of SWATTING. The poor guy…we kind of feel for him. That is, if he was even home at the time that the cops were called.
    Earlier today in the wee hours of the morning, the police were called to his Holmby Hills estate. A caller who remains unidentified, stated that there was an assault which took place on Hef's property. Officials arrived to find that no such assault had taken place. In fact, they found no evidence that any crime had been committed. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department told the media, "It could be one of those swatting calls."
    Police are still in the middle of investigating the incident. Sources close to the situation said that the caller acted as if he or she was really under the impression that a violent crime had occurred in the home.
    There has been no word as to whether or not Hef was home at the time of the call. Stay tuned!

    Nikki Reed has revealed her 'Twilight Saga' co-star Kristen Stewart stole a pair of shoes from the set of the final movie of the vampire franchise.
    Kristen Stewart stole a pair of shoes from the 'Twilight Saga' set for Nikki Reed.
    Nikki loved her character Rosalie Hale's footwear so much she wanted to keep them after the vampire series wrapped but didn't want to take them herself.
    But when Kristen went back to re-shoot scenes for the final instalment 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2' she got the shoes for her co-star.
    Nikki told the new US issue of OK! magazine: ''I feel guilty about taking things but Kristen knew I loved my baseball shoes and she went back to get them during re-shoots.''
    The final movie was released last year and 24-year-old Nikki admits she misses her castmates, which include Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz, Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene, because they all became so close while making the movies.
    She added: ''I miss my cast and feeling like we are a family.''

    Ed Sheeran has revealed Sir Elton John eased his stage fright before their Grammys performance by making a penis joke.
    Ed Sheeran says Sir Elton John calmed his nerves at the Grammys by making a penis joke.
    The 21-year-old singer duetted with the legendary musician for a rendition of his hit 'The A Team' at the American awards show earlier this month but admits he got an attack of stage fright when he walked out in front of the star-studded audience.
    However, Elton, 65, put Ed at ease by making a gag about flashing his willy to try and relax him.
    Ed recalled: ''I knew I was not going to win at the Grammys so I was focusing on the performance. In the rehearsals it was fine but when I got onto the stage and there was a lot of people watching I was kind of a bit nervous. Then Elton called me over and said, 'This is the worst time to get your penis out.' That completely threw all of my nerves and I just played.''
    The singer/songwriter was at the BRITs at The O2 in London last night (20.02.13) to present the British Male prize to winner Ben Howard and he finds that awards show more ''nerve-racking'' than any other because it's in his home country and his loved ones are all watching.
    Speaking before the ceremony to UK station BBC Radio 1, Ed - who won two BRITs in 2012 - said: ''I think the BRITs has been the most nerve-racking for me because it is my home country like all my friends are tuning into see it, the Grammys has less people staying up to 5 in the morning. Everyone I went to school with sits down and watches (the BRITs) on TV.''

    Ellie Goulding and Jeremy Irvine put on a public display of affection at the Universal BRITs after-party last night (20.02.13), by sharing a kiss in the middle of the dancefloor at members' club Soho House in London.
    Ellie Goulding and Jeremy Irvine were spotted kissing at a BRIT Awards after-party last night (20.02.13).
    The 'Anything Could Happen' hitmaker and 'War Horse' star have yet to officially comment on their relationship status but locked lips in the middle of the dancefloor at the Universal BRITs Party at Soho House in London.
    Other famous names at the exclusive bash included Taylor Swift - who performed her track 'I Knew You Were Trouble' at the ceremony at The O2 - and actress Carey Mulligan, who the loved up pair talked and laughed with throughout the night.
    Ellie, Jeremy and Taylor then jumped into the DJ booth with BRITs host James Corden as he took to the decks to for his own set.
    The 26-year-old beauty is rumoured to have been dating the heartthrob actor since last October - a month after she ended her seven-month relationship with DJ Skrillex as the couldn't make their long-distance romance work.
    Earlier this week, Ellie and Jeremy arrived at London's Heathrow Airport with their arms wrapped around one another after flying over from Los Angeles for the prestigious music awards.
    Ellie posted a photograph on her Instagram account of Jeremy sat next to her on the plane, with a caption reading: ''My plane mate tonight #megababe (sic)''
  • LeAnn Rimes' rep hits back at Brandi Glanville
    LeAnn Rimes' publicist has accused the singer's arch-nemesis Brandi Glanville of being obsessed with drinking and having Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
    LeAnn Rimes' publicist has accused the singer's arch-nemesis Brandi Glanville of being obsessed with drinking and having Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
    LeAnn Rimes' publicist has accused the singer's arch-nemesis Brandi Glanville of being obsessed with drinking and having Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
    LeAnn Rimes' rep claims Brandi Glanville is the one who needs help.
    Following 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star's most recent attack on her rival - in which she branded LeAnn ''unstable'' and advised her to seek medical help - the country singer's publicist Marcel Pariseau has sent a scathing email to E! News hitting back at Brandi and her own drinking habits.
    He wrote: ''Brandi might consider getting some help with her drinking. If you watch her show, read her book and follow her tweets, she is constantly referring to her drinking.
    ''Even the title of her book has the word drinking in it. In fact, she was arrested for a DUI. It is a fact that after a night of drinking in Vegas she married her ex-best friend's ex-husband.''
    Brandi, 40, and 30-year-old LeAnn's long-standing public feud - which began when LeAnn had an affair with Brandi's then-husband Eddie Cibrian - has spiralled out of control since the reality star began promoting her memoir 'Drinking & Tweeting and other Brandi Blunders'.
    Marcel claims she is only keeping the spat going for the media attention.
    He vented: ''Brandi is one of the most narcissistic people around. She never takes responsibility for anything. Basically everyone past and present is at fault but no fault lies with her. Read the description of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and tell me what you think?''
    The feisty blonde previously blasted Eddie for not supporting their children Mason, nine, and Jake, five, but Marcel claims all of Brandi's spare cash actually goes on her expensive facial filler treatments.
    He added: ''She makes it sound like they are scraping by but read her book where she devotes a whole page to what she does to her face; fillers, botox, skin treatments, etc.
    ''All of that doesn't come cheap. Eddie pays for all of the boys expenses like school, sports, clothing, etc.''
  • Hollywood couple Diane Lane and Josh Brolin split after 8 years
    (Reuters) - Hollywood couple Diane Lane and Josh Brolin are divorcing after more than eight years, their representatives said on Thursday.
    "I can confirm Diane Lane and Josh Brolin have decided to end their marriage," said Lane's spokeswoman, Kelly Bush.
    A source close to the couple termed the split as "amicable" and said it was a mutual decision.
    The divorce will be the second for both Lane and Brolin. They have no children together.
    Lane, 48, who was Oscar-nominated for her role in the 2002 film "Unfaithful," and Brolin, 45, married in August 2004 after being introduced by Barbra Streisand, the actor's stepmother through her marriage to James Brolin.
    Josh Brolin played a lead role in last summer's sci-fi comedy franchise "Men in Black 3" and his most recent film appearance was the January release "Gangster Squad."

  • Lady Gaga has hip surgery, calls injury "bump in the road"
    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Lady Gaga said she has undergone surgery to repair an injured hip that forced the pop singer last week to cancel the remainder of her concert tour.
    The "Born This Way" singer thanked fans in a blog post on her littlemonsters.com fan website on Thursday, saying the setback was "just a bump in the road."
    "As they wheeled me into surgery...I thought about all of your pain and perseverance, your unique family situations, school environments, health issues, homelessness, identity struggles," wrote Lady Gaga, who often engages with her fans about their personal problems.
    "So I thought to myself, 'I'm alive; I'm living my dream, and this is just a bump in the road,'" she added.
    The 26-year-old singer tweeted on Wednesday that she was heading into surgery to treat a labral tear of her right hip.
    No timetable has been set for Lady Gaga to return to performing, and her tour operator said last week that she would need "strict downtime."
    Lady Gaga has been on the road for two years, performing concerts on six continents.
    The injury forced her to cancel some two dozen concerts in the United States as part of her "Born This Way Ball" tour.

  • Massive awards dinner a piece of cake, says Oscars chef Puck
    (Reuters) - Wolfgang Puck may be the world's best-known celebrity chef — he certainly was one of the first in the U.S. — and at 63, he is busier than ever. Puck oversees a global empire of restaurants (including his flagship, Spago, in Beverly Hills), popular lines of canned and frozen food, and his designer cookware, all balanced with television and radio appearances and seemingly nonstop travel. As he recently told the New York Times, "Why stop? What would you do at home?"
    There is even more on his plate: For the past 17 years, Puck has also been the executive chef of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' annual after-Oscar Governor's Ball, probably the ultimate Hollywood party. The next dinner, on February 24, will once again be at the Hollywood & Highland Center, in the ballroom of the former Kodak Theater, now the Dolby Theater.
    So what's the secret to cooking for George Clooney, Angie and Brad, and hundreds of other Academy members? We caught up with the superstar chef in Los Angeles, on his cell phone in his car on his way to yet another meeting.
    Q: How many guests are we talking about for this party?
    A: There are about 3,500 people who attend the Awards, and we have a little less than half — 1,600 — at the actual dinner. It's by invitation only.
    Q: Organizing it strikes us as something like a military operation. Do you start planning the next one as soon as you finish the one on Oscar night?
    A: Not at all. I do everything at the last moment. That's my favorite thing.
    Q: So that keeps the menu up to date. But don't you have to finalize it ahead at some point?
    A: We have to have the dishes decided by the middle of January. We do a presentation at a press conference for the media. So even Sherry has to have her dessert ready then, too.
    Q: Can you handle special requests?
    A: Oh, yes. We have everything: Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher …
    Q: But how do you juggle all those different things?
    A: We changed the format a few years ago to small plates. That way, there is something for everyone. So all night long there are small-portion dishes that get passed around to the tables.
    Q: Like what?
    A: You might get one grilled lamb chop, a small something with lobster like we do at Chinois, mini chicken pot pie with black truffles, slices of pizza, mac and cheese, a small potato with caviar. You eat six or seven little things. It's easier on the kitchen, and everyone can pick and choose.
    Q: Any particular favorites with the crowd?
    A: After the first time we made the chicken pot pie with black truffles, someone on the Academy Board of Governors told me, "We don't care what else you do, but you have to have the pot pie."
    Q: Can you dish on some specific celebs?
    A: Barbra Streisand loves the wild mushroom risotto with black truffles, and the slow-braised short ribs. And a few years ago, Danny DeVito asked for a double order of lobster.
    Q: How large is the team that you work with on that evening?
    A: We have probably 300 in the kitchen and then 600 waitstaff in the dining room.
    Q: Walk us through the time line leading up to that Sunday night.
    A: Matt, our catering manager, organizes and buys everything. By Friday, we have all the food in for sure. But we might start ahead of that with things like smoked salmon — that's 10 days before — or a week ahead for other things. We get the produce and perishables in as last-minute as we can. We had 800 Dover sole one year for the 1,600 portions.
    Q: And the cooking?
    A: We start the day before with what we can do, and then at 5 p.m. Sunday, as the show comes on in LA.
    Q: It sounds as if you're just using your regular staff to get this all done. That's impressive.
    A: Pretty much, yes. And we have a lot of other parties going on at the restaurants that week, too.
    Q: What's the seating arrangement? Do you help with that, too? That could be a nightmare in Hollywood.
    A: I am part of that. And I treat it like my restaurants. We seat friends together, and the films and studios together. Dawn Hudson is great. She told me, "I want to have a party." And the more we make it into an upscale party with great food, the more people like it.
    Q: We know that it wasn't always so.
    A: No. When we were still at the original Spago, nobody went to the Governor's Ball. The stars walked through it and then went straight to Swifty's party at Spago. The press couldn't interview anyone. The whole thing has changed.
    Q: So it was a smart move to hire the creator of Spago for the Governor's Ball.
    A: It was rocky at the beginning. The first time I did it, the show was still at the Shrine. We had to build a kitchen outside, and it was windy and the burners kept going out. I was worried we would be serving raw chicken with black truffles. We had to put aluminum foil around the burners to keep them from blowing out. I had other LA chefs — I remember that Angelo from Valentino was there — to help me.
    Q: But the Dolby Ballroom kitchen is better, I'm sure.
    A: We have two kitchens there, and we designed them. So we don't have to go camping anymore.
    Q: When do you eat on Oscar night?
    A: I eat all night as the plates go out, and of course we have staff meals — salads, soups — and we feed the crew and other staff. We feed more than 3,000 people that day.
    Q: Who would you have cook an awards dinner for you?
    A: I'd have a lot of the LA people, like Nobu and Nancy Silverton, and some of the new chefs like the guys from Animal. And I'd have some really good wines. For any awards dinner, you need to have good wines.
    Q: Who does the wines for the Governor's Ball?
    A: Moet & Chandon. We're hoping they'll be back.
    Q: Any downtime after the big night?
    A: Oh, no. Straight back to work. We have the new Spago to run. I'm very happy with it, and people seem to love it.
    Q: It sounds as if you have the Governor's Ball down to a science.
    A: It's easier when it's organized. To make a success, you have to do what you know how to do well. This isn't the night to try anything new.

  • Shia LaBeouf disputes Orphans creative differences
    Shia LaBeouf has departed the cast of 'Orphans' due to ''creative differences'' - a claim he appears to dispute in a series of emails he posted on Twitter.

    Shia LaBeouf has departed the cast of 'Orphans' due to ''creative differences'' - a claim he appears to dispute.
    The 26-year-old actor was due to make his Broadway debut alongside Alec Baldwin in the production - which tells the tale of two orphaned brothers who grow to regard a gangster they attempt to kidnap as a father figure - but producers say he has parted ways with the show after a week of rehearsals.
    However, in an apparent attempt to deny he had been involved in any such ''differences'', Shia took to Twitter to post a series of emails exchanged between himself, Alec and the production's director Dan Sullivan.
    The message from Dan read: ''I'm too old for disagreeable situations. You're one hell of a great actor. Alec is who he is. You are who you are. You two are incompatible. I should have known it. This one will haunt me. You tried to warn me. You said you were a different breed. I didn't get it.''
    The 'Transformers' star then posted the email he sent Alec, which was entitled ''apology'' and read: ''A man can tell you he was wrong ... He can apologise, even if sometimes its just to put an end to the bickering. Alec, I'm sorry for my part of a disagreeable situation.''
    Alec's response read: ''I've been through this before. It's been a while. And perhaps some of the particulars are different. But it comes down to the fact that what we all do now is critical. Perhaps especially for you.''
    ''I don't have an unkind word to say about you. You have my word.''
    The email was accompanied by Shia's return message: ''Same. be well. good luck on the play. you'll be great. (sic)''
    And it seems other cast members are confused by the situation.
    Tweeting several hours later, Shia wrote: ''Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance. Tom = good dude - good actor. (sic)''
    It was accompanied by a message from Tom Sturridge which read: ''I don't really know what to write. I went in this afternoon and they were all there ... producers, etc. I said my piece but they didn't really listen. I don't understand what has happened here. Maybe you have had a more enlightening conversation with someone by now.
    ''All I can say is that it truly was an honour to work with you even if it was only for a few days. I was stunned by the work you were doing, the performance you were giving. I think you lifted the play to a place higher than maybe it even deserved to be ... Hope you're ok brother. (sic)''

    Muse bassist Chris Wolstenholme keeps the bands BRIT Awards on top of his computer.
    The rocker and his bandmates, Matthew Bellamy and Dominic Howard, were up for two prizes at the ceremony at The O2 in London last night (20.02.13) and although they lost out in the Best Live Act and Best British Group categories Chris has their previous two trophies at his home to cheer himself up.
    Speaking to Absolute Radio's Pete Donaldson at the BRITs, he said: ''I've got my awards in my office at home. So when I'm on my computer I can look at them and feel all proud.''
    Chris insists it is great for Muse - who opened the show with a spectacular rendition of 'Supremacy' complete
    with a huge strings section and fireworks and explosions - to just be at the annual event, because win or lose it's a fantastic celebration of British music.
    He said: ''I think it's just nice to be here, you know, it's nice just to be a part of it. You get to see other people that you wouldn't normally see and obviously playing is great. If you win, then that's great, if not we still have a brilliant time.''
    Emeli Sande was the night's big winner taking home the gongs for British Female and the highly coveted Mastercard British Album of the Year for her debut record 'Our Version of Events'.
    Taylor Swift performed her single 'I Knew You were Trouble' and thrilled the audience mid-way through when a wedding dress she was wearing was torn off to reveal a super-sexy black outfit in front of the watching eyes of her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles.
    Harry and his One Direction bandmates - Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson - performed their new Comic Relief charity single 'One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)' and took home the award for Global Success.

    The 'Suit & Tie' singer - who made his British musical comeback performing at the BRIT Awards at The O2 - serenaded an intimate audience, including wife Jessica Biel, 'Baby' hitmaker Justin Bieber and actress Gemma Arterton, following the bash in an exclusive one-off concert at the HMV Forum in Kentish Town, north London.
    An excited reveller told BANG Showbiz exclusively that 'Boyfriend' singer Bieber, 18, arrived discreetly at his namesake's concert midway through the show, flanked by security guards and perched himself on the celebrity-packed upper tier balcony, where the singer appeared to be enthralled by Timberlake and sang along to his 2006 song 'Until the End of Time'.
    Bieber - who was clad in his trademark baseball cap, sunglasses, hoodie and a white T-shirt - didn't look at or talk to any of his fellow concert-goers and was solely concentrated on the stage.
    The Canadian singer, who is in London for the latest dates on his 'Believe' world tour, didn't stay for long as he made a swift exit after just 10 to 20 minutes - before Timberlake, 32, performed his new single, 'Mirrors', which he also sang earlier in the night at the BRITs.
    Surrounded by a flock of security, Bieber tried to make an incognito exit but turned heads as he tripped over one of his bodyguards and nearly fell.
    'Total Recall' actress Biel clearly enjoyed seeing her husband on stage, as she was on her feet all night singing along and dancing, and was seen happily smiling and waving at excited fans.
    An onlooker said: ''She knew the lyrics to all of his songs. It was so sweet. She was looking at him very lovingly.''
    The 30-year-old screen beauty also shared a chat with former Bond girl, Gemma, 27.
    Other stars who attended the concert included all four members of JLS - J.B. Gill, Marvin Humes, Aston Merrygold and Oritse Williams - as well as Sir Tom Jones and Kelly Brook.
    As well as performing songs from his new album 'The 20/20 Experience', Justin thrilled fans with his greatest hits, including 'Cry Me a River', 'What Goes Around' and 'Like I Love You'.
