Blake Lively Chooses Risky Movie Roles Over Buying an Apartment
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Dating, Style,
Blake Lively wants to take risks in her career.
The Gossip Girl star - who shot to fame after starring in The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants at the age of 16 - admitted she doesn’t want to “play it safe” in her professional life, as the projects she has worked on so far have been very “commercial.”
“I’m on a very commercial show, so the last thing I want to do is a commercial movie. I wanna take risks, I don’t wanna play it safe. I mean, I could probably make more money if I did more commercial projects. It would be nice to buy an apartment but I’m 22 and I don’t need to yet… I live in New York City. So, I’m able to differentiate between what I want and need and what I want more is to do great roles.”
The 23-year-old actress - who is currently dating Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley - also revealed despite seeing her boyfriend on set on a daily basis, she considers their relationship to be just like any other: “At the end of the day, you’re just in any relationship. How does anybody go to work every day and come home? You just do it and it either works or it doesn’t.”
Evangeline Lilly Lost Without Show
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Where Are They Now?,
Freckled starlet Evangeline Lilly is “homeless and unemployed.”
The actress admits she has found herself at a loss since filming her final scenes for Lost in Hawaii but has only just realized the extent of her situation.
“I did live in Hawaii and now I am essentially homeless. I’m a gypsy a bit, living out of my suitcase, and I’m unemployed. I was filling out a form at the dentist the other day and I realized when they said ‘Put your address and your occupation’ that I was homeless and unemployed.”
The brunette beauty admits she has always enjoyed moving from place to place as it allowed her the opportunity for reinvention. She explained to talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, “When I was a kid we moved a lot and then when I was in high school I stayed still for a long time. I must have gotten a bit of fever - whatever it was that makes you want to change - because I looked around me and saw people who were different to me and interesting, and I decided I wanted to try to be them. I would move towns - because you can’t change who you are when people know you already - and I would take on a new. I wouldn’t suddenly put on 50lbs and pretend I was a man.”
Stephen Moyer Says Producers Forced Him to Date Anna
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Dating, Engagements, Hook-ups,
British hunk Stephen Moyer thinks that his TV bosses wanted him to date Anna Paquin.
The True Blood actor - who got engaged to his co-star last August - claims staff at network HBO tried their best to bring them together by booking them into the same hotel during filming of the pilot episode:
“They put us in the same hotel - though in not the same room to begin with. No, I’m joking. They put us in these hotel suites, and we hung out for a while and got to know each other. The attraction was there, so it was a matter of whether we acted on it or not.”
While he is blissfully happy with 27-year-old Anna, Stephen - who plays vampire Bill Compton in the show - admits he was reluctant to get romantically involved with her at first in case it destroyed the future of the program. He added in an interview with Details magazine, “To get a pilot that runs to a series, it’s big s**t to people. And so to come along and go, ‘Oh, let’s have a quick f**k’ and then risk arguing and being a nightmare when you’re playing the two people who are together the whole time - that would be immature.”
Stephen, 40, has been dating Anna - who plays Sookie Stackhouse - since 2007 but insists they won’t marry “until at least 2020.”

A Weekend of Sorrow: Three Beloved Celebs Depart
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television, Child Stars, Videos, Obituaries,
For three sets of family, friends and huge contingents of fans, June 25 will be remembered as the beginning of a very dark time. In only three days, the lives of three very large personalities were cut short. The trio of tragedies will mark change in thee industries: music, advertising and television. That all of them passed at relatively young ages by our standards, and all went so quickly, has left those of us who remain in shock.
But these larger-than-life personalities are big enough to shine even once the lights are dimmed, even beyond the cold chill of death.

Paula Abdul on the HSN
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television,
Obsessed with American Idol? In love with Paula Abdul designs? Or do you just want another reason to watch the Home Shopping Network? Now you can combine all these passions - and get some new jewelry, to boot.
According to Paula Abdul, she personally designs jewelry for each contestant on Idol. But the judge doesn’t stop there - anyone can see her designs if they just look hard enough. “I pretty much wear my jewelry all the time now, but I end up giving it away,” Abdul recently explained. She started making the jewelry back in 2002, when Idol first hit (and took over) the TV scene.
“I wanted something the kids could touch and feel to remind themselves that their talent got them here,” Abdul explained. The judge is no stranger to home shopping. Paula previously made a foray into QVC, selling some of her jewelry collection to home-buying fans.
Her new line, Forever Your Girl, will first appear on Saturday and feature products ranging from $29 to $200 (USD) in price.

Did Simon Cowell Wow Britney Spears?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television, Rumors,
“I think she was in awe of me,” Simon Cowell told the British press recently. Currently in country to work on the X-Factor, Cowell will soon be Stateside for the eighth season of American Idol. And, according to him, the reality TV contestants aren’t the only ones who seem to be overwhelmed in his very big presence.
When Britney Spears visited the show, Cowell said she was awed by him, though he admitted the statement “may be a bit egotistical.” Ego from you, Simon? Never! “She was just staring at me,” he admitted. “I said ‘touch me, I’m human,’ and I think that broke the ice.”
Cowell recently told the British media that he may not return for another season of X-Factor, though he’s been threatening the same of American Idol for years.

Sarah Palin: No Alaska for Hot New Media Star
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Sarah Palin came onto the election scene much later than John McCain, President-elect Barack Obama or Vice President-elect Joe Biden - but she instantly became the media’s favorite contender. New gossip suggests that Palin may not pack her bags to head back home right away…she just might have some gigs lined up in Tinseltown first.
A spokesman for Random House (one of the biggest publishing houses in the biz) told the New York Post’s Page Six that “there are several of our imprints who are eager to talk to Governor Palin. She clearly has a constituency and we know books by conservatively-centered politicos usually sell very, very well.” So she might as well take more jobs away from the real writers of the world.
Other gossip hints that Palin could be offered a slot as a TV pundit (I’ve got money riding on this one - I just know FOX News Channel would do damn near anything to have her) or even as a talk-show host.
Sure, that makes sense.

Alec Baldwin vs. My Name is Earl
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Meltdowns, Rivalries, Breaking News,
When Hollywood’s teen starlets engage in a feud, it’s usually over some hot young male celeb. When mature female stars squabble, it’s usually about publicity - and which one of them has a book out that talks about the feud. When well-established males in the industry start trading catty comments like a couple of kids…that’s entertainment.
Alec Baldwin started the brawl of the comments in the New Yorker. In Baldwin’s lengthy New Yorker profile, the actor launched into a gripe aimed at NBC shows My Name is Earl and Scrubs. Baldwin can currently be seen on NBC show 30 Rock, but after this one has to wonder for how long. When speaking of 30 Rock, Baldwin said, “if the show does succeed, it’ll be something of a [expletive deleted] miracle, because NBC hasn’t done a [expletive deleted] thing to help this show at all.” He further went on to state that NBC has “gone out of their way to wring the last drops out of My Name Is Earl and Scrubs. Those shows are done! They’re cooked! Yet they do a one-hour episode of Earl. You’ve got to be [expletive deleted] kidding me.”
