Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Weddings, Rivalries, Rumors,
Melissa McCarthy is reportedly refusing to attend her cousin Jenny's wedding.
The Tammy star - who is reportedly feuding with the blonde beauty - doesn't want to witness the television host, 41, tie the knot with her fiance Donnie Wahlberg. "The cousins were close at one time, but they've grown distant over the past few years," a source told The National Enquirer.
The cousins fell out after Melissa, 43, allegedly ditched the former Playboy model after her career took off and she sprung into the limelight. "Jenny feels she helped Melissa get a leg up in the business. But now that Melissa's career is skyrocketing, Jenny feels [Melissa] doesn't have time for her," the source explained.
Meanwhile, Jenny recently revealed she and Donnie, who proposed to her in April, will be tying the knot "very soon" and she's now in a rush to find the perfect gown in time for her big day.

Kristen Wiig used to worry that she was too old for Hollywood.
The 40-year-old star - who shot to fame with her hit comedy Bridesmaids in 2011 - was concerned she was too old to make it in the industry after the excitement of moving to Hollywood wore off and she realized other most other aspiring actresses were far younger than her.
"When I first moved there, there was 'the dream,' as there is for a lot of people. Then I got really scared. I moved there and I was like, 'Oh, I don't have any experience,' and I was surrounded by people a lot younger than I am, a lot better looking than I am, who've been acting for a while, who've been taking classes, who already have agents and I just felt like, 'Oh, there's a lot of work I have to do.'"
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty actress first decided to pursue a career in acting during a class at an art college in Arizona, and although she struggled to find work after moving to Los Angeles she admits she came into her own after she joined an improv group, The Groundlings: "I was like, 'Oh my God, I love it,' which was weird because I was terrified of being on stage. But the idea of being someone else and not myself didn't scare me as much."

Matthew McConaughey puts his success down to his wife and children.
The Academy-Award winning actor describes his home life as "enriching" and claims the achievements in his career wouldn't have been possible without the support of his spouse Camila Alves and their children, Levi, five, Vida, four, and 15-month-old Livingston, following his win as Best Actor at the Oscars on Sunday.
"I try to give a lot to my life and the people in it, and I know they sure give back. I have a lot to be thankful for. My life outside my career is extremely enriching. So I am letting that feed my work, and letting my work feed my life," Matthew told People.
Richard Linklater - who gave Matthew his breakout role in 1993 film Dazed and Confused - agrees that Camila's support has been a big factor in her husbands transitioning career in recent years: "[In Hollywood] You'll have people around you who want other things [for you], but she will approach it as, 'What does Matthew want?' That's the direction she pushes him."

Miley Cyrus isn't passionate about acting.
The "Wrecking Ball" singer - who shot to fame aged 12 after starring in Disney TV show Hannah Montana - is no longer interested in appearing in movies because she hates having to pretend to be someone else.
"I'm just not passionate about acting, because I don't like to pretend to be somebody I'm actually not. Why should I put on strange characters? I prefer to show my true colors as the real Miley Cyrus," she said.
The 21-year-old star also spoke out to demand more "tolerance" in the world and admitted she doesn't understand how discriminatory attitudes are still held in the modern world: "I think a lot about politics. Despite the fact that it's the 21st century and America is so proud of being a free country, sometimes incomprehensible things happen in our society. There is racism and discrimination. I fight against that. I demand more tolerance, especially for homosexuals, who of course should be allowed to marry.

Meg Ryan’s Journalistic Ambition
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,
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.

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.'"

Joe Jonas wants Selena Gomez to be "happy."
The 24-year-old singer is a fan of his fellow former Disney star - who previously dated his brother Nick - and is hoping she can continue doing great things in her career following her recent stint in rehab. When asked if he is a fan of the "Come & Get It" hitmaker, he said, "I am! I am! I mean, her career been great and she is going to succeed and I want her to succeed and I want her to be happy!"
The former Jonas Brothers star believes the key to keeping himself on the right track and not succumbing to the pressures of fame is to learn from the mistakes of those he admires. Discussing dealing with fame, he told E! News, "Something that I heard from someone I looked up to was, 'Watch the people around you and learn from their mistakes so you don't make the same.' I just held on to that and any time I saw a celebrity I really looked up to screw up, I just was like 'All right, I am not going to do that or try my best ability to avoid that,' so it's just a learning tool."
Selena, 21, sought help at The Meadows facility in Arizona because she was "burned out," with reports suggesting she underwent the two-week stint in rehab to address her alcohol and marijuana use."
Lady Gaga’s Ex Threatens to Sue Over Her Book

A new book on Lady Gaga's early days is ruffling her ex's feathers.
Gaga's longtime friend Brendan Jay Sullivan penned Rivington Was Ours, a book detailing her time on New York's Lower East Side before she made it big. Lady Gaga's ex Luc Carl believes that he has been painted as a villain in the memoir, threatening to sue Sullivan and his publisher, HarperCollins.
Sullivan, a DJ, claims in the book that Carl - a heavy-metal drummer and radio personality - was "inattentive and possessive" boyfriend who controlled many aspects of Gaga's life and career. At one point, Gaga told Sullivan that Carl had told her, "I hope you fail," which likely just fueled the Mother Monster in her efforts.
Last year when questioned about his relationship with Gaga, Carl said, "I was f - - king miserable, and it wasn’t her fault." Perhaps he's suing so that he can publish his own side of the story?

Lady Gaga: You Don’t Need to Look Like a Supermodel to Be Great

Lady Gaga has urged women to stop worrying about their weight because people who achieve great things do not have to look like "supermodels."
The 27-year-old pop superstar has suffered with fluctuating weight throughout her career and has been criticized for being both too thin and overweight. But Gaga has dismissed society's obsession with women's figures and insists it's time people concentrated on what they're going to do with their lives rather than what they look like.
"I want to remind everyone that people who win Nobel Peace Prizes and cure diseases are not supermodels. Your legacy does not need to be a perception of beauty that's not realistic," she said in February's Fashion Magazine.
Although Gaga is now one of the world's biggest singers she insists she would still be wearing eccentric outfits and pushing the boundaries of pop if she was an unsigned artist playing in bars and small venues in her native New York City because music is her life. "There's this implication that if I wasn't so successful I would have to stop. But I never would have stopped. I would be in some bar; being Lady Gaga," she explained.

Kelly Osbourne is "so proud" of Adele and Robert Pattinson.
The Fashion Police host is friends with both stars and thinks they set a great example to the rest of the UK: "I know Adele from years back and I've hung out with Robert Pattinson in London since I was 19. It makes me so proud of my country that they're all doing so well. Rob was at the Soho House party in LA [after the Golden Globes], and the last time I saw him there, his friend was stealing the toilet roll. Everyone was so happy that Adele won Best Original Song [at the Golden Globes]. Adele is so well-loved. When she hit the red carpet, everyone's mouths dropped - her skin is glowing. I need to get her baby boy present."
Kelly enjoyed working at the Golden Globes in her capacity as a host on Fashion Police, but still managed to take time out to chat with her friends. "The best moment was after Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom wowed on the red carpet - they asked my boyfriend Matthew [Mosshart] for a lighter. I know Orlando, so we sat down and had a cigarette and a chat."
