Shirley Temple passed away yesterday.
The former child actress passed away from natural causes at her home in Woodside, California yesterday at the age of 85, her agent has confirmed.
"She was surrounded by her family and caregivers. We salute her for a life of remarkable achievements as an actor, as a diplomat, and... our beloved mother, grandmother [and] great-grandmother," her family said in a statement.
Shirley landed her first movie role at the age of three and, in 1935, she became the youngest person to receive an Academy Award - a record she still holds - when she won a special juvenile Oscar aged just six. She starred in over 43 films - including Bright Eyes, Stand Up and Cheer and Curly Top but struggled to maintain her cinematic career in adulthood and retired from movies in 1950, though she continued to work in television. Following the end of her entertainment career, Shirley served as a U.S. ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia.

Meg Ryan always wanted to be a journalist.
The 52-year-old actress had a passion for writing as a teenager and only turned to acting as a way of paying her way through college. "My main aim, at 18, was to become a journalist. I only started acting - in commercials - to pay my way through college in New York," she said.
The Sleepless in Seattle star was "intimidated" by everyone around her when she started working and struggled to "understand" her co-stars. "I was 19 when I was in my first film, Rich And Famous. I played Candice Bergen's daughter and only had about ten lines, which I would repeat constantly every night. When I traveled to Los Angeles, it was the first time I had ever been on a plane. I was intimidated by everyone in those days. If you ever see the film, you will see me shaking in every scene. I did not understand actors. It was overwhelming," she told The Sun.

News Anchor Confuses Samuel L. Jackson with Laurence Fishburne
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Television, Rants, Videos, Oops Videos,
Perhaps when you're an entertainment reporter, you ought to Google the celebrity - as a precaution! - you're about to interview - before you make a mistake like KTLA anchor Sam Rubin did with Samuel L. Jackson.
Jackson appeared on the news show to promote his film Robocop when Rubin asked him about his Super Bowl commercial. The Avengers star quickly realized that Rubin mixed him up with The Matrix actor Laurence Fishburne - who did a Kia car commercial for the Super Bowl - and was even quicker to chastise RubIn: "What Super Bowl commercial? You're as crazy as the people on Twitter. I'm not Laurence Fishburne!"

Liam Hemsworth Dating Nina Dobrev?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Dating, Paparazzi Photos, Rumors,
Liam Hemsworth has been spotted on a date with Nina Dobrev.
The Hunger Games star Liam - who split from fiancee Miley Cyrus last year - was in the Corner Tavern in Atlanta, on Friday with The Vampire Diaries actress, and an eyewitness says they even ended their night with a "sensual" kiss.
"They stayed around two to three hours and Nina left before Liam, and as she was leaving they gave each other a good night kiss... [and] she ran off into a car service with her friend. The kisses were on the lips publicly outside of the bar... and it was three sensual kisses on the lips. They stuck together pretty much the whole time, but I think Nina got sick of pictures [with fans] because Liam was the highlight, so to speak," Jahti Anderson told Celebuzz.com.
While they were with other friends and happily posed for pictures separately, Jahti claims they acted like they were on a date. "They were there together and were with a couple other friends. They were having a great time. They were definitely acting couple-y. They were drinking beers and mostly standing and talking near the bar," Jahti added.

Reese Witherspoon’s Parents Banned Her from Hollywood
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,
Reese Witherspoon's parents banned her from moving to Hollywood because it is "where crazy people live."
The Walk the Line star first started acting in Tennessee when she was 12 and quickly found herself getting cast in more and more parts, but her parents - who are both medical professionals - were wary of her pursuing it as a career while she was still a teenager. Speaking at a Young Women's Conference held at Brentwood School in Los Angeles this weekend, she said, "I started doing commercials when I was 12. One day there was an advert in the paper that said, 'Do you want to be in a movie?' I was like, 'Heck yeah I want to be in a movie!' I grew up in Nashville, they're not making a lot of movies there. My dad's a doctor and my mom is a professor of pediatric nursing. So I thought I was going to be a doctor. I was sure I was going to be. And then the universe just showed me this different possibility. Thank God my parents did this, but they told me I had to stay in school. I was allowed to work in the summers but I couldn't work in the school year. They said, 'You're not moving to California, that's where crazy people live.'"

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley will marry Jason Statham this summer.
The pair - who live together in Los Angeles - have been dating since 2010 and are said to have plans to tie the knot near the blonde beauty's parents home town in south west England.
"They're getting married this summer, it'll be a country wedding where Rosie grew up in Devon, close to her parents' farm. They've finally set a date and both agreed England should be where they wed, despite their closest friends living in LA," a source said.
The pair split last September for a short period, but it seems the Hollywood hunk is ready to fully commit to her since he knows how important marriage is to her. "Rosie and Jason have had a few problems lately but they've come through because Jason finally understand how important it is for her that they tie the knot. Jason has always been reluctant, but Rosie's ready to become a mother and she wants to be married before they have a family," the insider explained.

Philip Seymour Hoffman's alleged drug dealer believes he could have "saved" him.
The Capote actor was found dead from an apparent heroin overdose on February 2 and Robert Vineberg - who has been charged with felony drug possession and was one of three suspected dealers charged in connection with the 46-year-old star's death - insisted he would have encouraged him to seek help if they had been together before his death.
The jazz musician, who claims he last saw the actor in person in October, said, "He was my friend. I could've saved him. If I knew he was in town, I would've said, 'Hey, let's make an AA meeting.' If I was with him, it wouldn't have happened. Not under my guard."
Vineberg's last contact with the Hunger Games actor came in December via email and text message and he says they traded messages about staying sober. In an interview from prison, he recalled to the New York Post newspaper, "He left me a voicemail in December saying, 'I'm clean.' We'd text back and forth, 'Oh, I got one day on you! No I've got one day on you.'"

Jake Gyllenhaal Spotted with Mystery Brunette
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Dating, Paparazzi Photos, Rumors,
Jake Gyllenhaal has been spotted with a new mystery woman in New York City.
The End of Watch star, who recently ended his six-month relationship with model Alyssa Miller, sparked speculation he has already moved on as he strolled around SoHo with a pretty brunette woman on Saturday. The 33-year-old actor looked scruffy and extremely relaxed as he chatted with his companion, who wore matching snow boots, according to the MailOnline website.
Jake is currently shooting his upcoming film Everest, about a 1996 hiking disaster that left eight climbers dead, in Italy, Iceland and Nepal, but flew back to New York to attend Philip Seymour Hoffman's funeral with his pal Michelle Williams on Friday. The duo formed a close friendship on the set of Brokeback Mountain in 2005, and Jake is the godfather to Michelle's eight-year-old daughter, Matilda, with the late Heath Ledger.
A source previously revealed that Jake split from Sports Illustrated beauty Alyssa, 24, in December after they struggled to cope with him relocating to Los Angeles to film his upcoming movie Nightcrawler.

George Clooney Isn’t Feuding with Leonardo DiCaprio
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Rivalries, Features, Rumors,
George Clooney isn't feuding with Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Monuments Men actor, who made headlines last year when he subtly dissed the Wolf of Wall Street star during an interview, insists he has no issues with the 39-year-old actor. "Somebody made it like there was a big fight. I've known Leo a long time and somebody just made that a fight," the 52-year-old star told ABC News' Popcorn with Peter Travers.
The former E.R. star's publicist was forced to defend him after George suggested Leonardo surrounded himself with the wrong type of people when recalling a basketball game they once played together in Cabo San Lucas. "The discrepancy between their game and how they talked about their game made me think of how important it is to have someone in your life to tell you what's what. I'm not sure if Leo has someone like that," he said.

Selena Gomez's stalker has been jailed for trespassing on her property.
Juan Garcia, who was arrested outside the "Come & Get It" hitmaker's house on January 25, was convicted after pleading no contest to the charge in court today and sentenced to 120 days in Los Angeles County Jail.
The 19-year-old obsessed fan, who previously told police that he had traveled from his home in Arizona to see the singer in person, was also placed on three years probation and ordered to stay at least 150 yards away from the 21-year-old star and her home for three years upon his release from prison, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
Police officers rushed to Selena's home in Tarzana, California last month after a family member spotted Juan creeping around and called 911. It is not known if Selena, who spent two weeks in rehab in January, was at home at the time of the incident.
