Michelle Obama to Present Big Help Award to Taylor Swift at 2012 KCAs

First Lady Michelle Obama is confirmed to make an appearance at the 25th Annual Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards this coming weekend. She's on hand to present Big Help Award to Taylor Swift in recognition of the country/pop singer's extensive philanthropic endeavors.

Swift has done many charitable works in the past years. She supports Make-A-Wish Foundation, St. Jude Medical Center, Habitat for Humanity, The Red Cross and The Salvation Army among other good causes. At the rehearsal of her "Speak Now" tour last year, she raised funds for tornado victims.

"Taylor's dedication to helping others has encouraged her fan base to do the same, and this is the very core of what The Big Help is, inspiring others through action," said Marva Smalls, Executive Vice President, Public Affairs and Chief of Staff, Nickelodeon Group.

The Big Help Award was first presented in 2009 to Leonardo DiCaprio. Michelle Obama was a recipient for 2010, being followed by Justin Timberlake in 2011.

2012 KCAs itself will be hosted by Will Smith and air live from USC's Galen Center in Los Angeles on March 31. Katy Perry leads the overall nominations by grabbing three nods. She is vying for Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Song, and Favorite Voice From an Animated Movie.

In the Favorite Female Artist, Katy is facing off Swift, Lady GaGa and Selena Gomez. In the Favorite song, she's once again competing against the "Mean" crooner and the "Born This Way" hitmaker, in addition to battling LMFAO.

Jennifer Lopez and Boyfriend Captured Watching Sunrise in Romantic Photo

 A romantic moment between Jennifer Lopez and her dancer boyfriend, Casper Smart, has been captured on camera. Popping out online on Friday, March 30 via Smart's Twitter page, the photo displays the 42-year-old singer snuggling with her 24-year-old boyfriend as they watched the sun rises on the beach.

In the picture, both Lopez and Smart are wearing white shirt, and put their sneakers aside. The "On the Floor" hitmaker's shirt, in particular, is emblazoned with a heart design. Meanwhile, her backup dancer boyfriend covered his head with a knit cap. The caption of the snapshot reads, "Two little bears just watching the sunrise..."

In related news, In Touch Weekly magazine reported that Smart has had Lopez's name tattooed on an area in his body that is described as "somewhere below the belt". On how the estranged wife of Marc Anthony felt about her boyfriend's new ink, a source said that she "thinks Casper's tattoos are sexy, but this one is her favorite, for obvious reasons. She loves it, and she loves him."

Lopez began dating Smart shortly after she and her third husband announced their separation after seven years of marriage in July 2011. While the "American Idol" judge stayed silence about their age gap, her backup dancer boyfriend tweeted in January 2012, "Age, status, n opinions of others are irrelevant. Our hearts are endless and our souls infinite."

Snooki Scared Her Boobs Won't Stop Growing

 Snooki isn't shy about sharing her thoughts on what she's gained in the chest area because of her pregnancy. On Thursday, March 29, the pint-sized "Jersey Shore" star responded to a flattering comment about her boobs from one of her Twitter followers, joking in a tweet, "They won't stop growing. I'm scared."

The tweet came shortly after the 24-year-old, who confirmed in early March that she's expecting her first child with fiance Jionni LaValle, posted a close-up shot of herself in a neon yellow top that shows off some serious cleavage. Along with the photo, she tweeted, "I got swagger with my pregnant self."

It isn't the only photo Snooki shared to his Twitter followers recently. Hours before posting the cleavage snap, she posted a photo of herself with Jionni, which caption reads, "My fiance." In it, the reality star sports a tiger-print bow in her hair and zebra-inspired earrings, while her fiance dons jeans and a dark hoodie. Holding hands, they give the camera a snap at her $55,000 diamond ring.

Snooki has also revealed one of the plans she has for her unborn child through Twitter, making her baby a fan of "progressive house music". The reality star, who has recently wrapped the filming of her "Jersey Shore" spin-off, tweeted, "When my baby can hear sound I'm gonna blast Dobenbeck, Ercola, Medina, Kaskade & Tiesto."

Kris Humphries Takes Legal Action Against Kim Kardashian Over Money Made During Marriage

 The divorce battle between Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian has reached new heights. The New Jersey Nets player has through his attorneys filed legal documents that demand his estranged wife to give him access to any accounting books and records of any transactions during their 72-day marriage. He also accuses her of "breaching fiduciary duty".

"A husband and wife are subject to the general rules governing fiduciary relationships which control the actions of persons occupying confidential relations to each other," Kris' lawyers highlight in the filed papers. "This confidential relationship imposes a duty of the highest good faith and fair dealing on each spouse, and neither will take unfair advantage of each other."

Kris also appears to have an issue with Kim keeping the wedding gifts, and donating double the value to charity. His lawyers wrote in the docs, "A spouse may not make a gift of community personal property, or dispose of community personal property for less than fair and reasonable value, without the written consent of the other spouse."

Kim, who married Kris in a lavish ceremony on August 20, 2011, filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court on October 31 the same year. "Maybe I rushed in to something too soon," she wrote on her blog the day after. "I believed in love and the dream of what I wanted so badly. I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn't get off when now I know I probably should have."

Katy Perry Unveils Eye-Popping Lyrics Video for 'Dressin' Up'


In the wake of "Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection" album release, Katy Perry releases a lyrics video for one of its new tracks "Dressin' Up". It features chunks of flirty lyrics popping up on the screen one after another.

"Be a good boy, and I'll show you the rest," Katy coos to a lover. "Librarian, dominatrix/ Oh boy, tell me your fantasy/ Tonight's the night." She continues, "Tonight I'm gonna come alive/ Make you forget about your nine-to-five."

Almost at the same time, a viral clip for "Tommie Sunshine's Megasix Smash-Up", which is also included in the "Teenage Dream" repackage, is unleashed. It compiles footage from "California Girl", "Firework", "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", "E.T." and "Part of Me".

Due to its frantic-changing scenes, the video is tagged with a warning mentioning that it could trigger seizures. "This video may cause viewers with photo sensitive epilepsy and other similar types of conditions to potentially experience seizures," so the warning read.

Demi Lovato Releases Second Teaser for 'Give Your Heart a Break' Video

Another sneak peek at Demi Lovato's upcoming music video for her second single "Give Your Heart a Break" is released. While the previous one sees her smiling coyly to a shirtless hunk from behind a curtain, this new one features her gazing lovingly and sharing a hug with him.

" 'Give Your Heart a Break' isn't a song about having a broken heart. It's actually funny sometimes when people think that, because it has nothing to do with that," she said. "This is a song about faith, it's a song about fighting for the one you love. It's about living in the moment, and mostly it's about believing you're worth falling for."

The single is lifted from Lovato's third studio album "Unbroken". Its music video was directed by Justin Francis and will be unleashed in full on April 2 in North America before having its worldwide premiere the next day.

Rihanna Expresses Disappointment at Question About Ashton Kutcher Hook-Up

 One Ashton Kutcher-related question was apparently enough for Rihanna to give a reporter a cold shoulder. During a press conference for "Battleship" in London Wednesday, March 28, the "S&M" hitmaker was quick to express her annoyment when asked head-on about the rumors that linked her romantically to the "Two and a Half Men" star.

It all began when a British journalist was given her chance to ask her question. "You're so good at connecting with people that I think that we actually feel we know you. Things are clearly going brilliantly in your career. I just wondered if you are as happy in your private life," asked the reporter, "and will we see a certain Mr. Ashton Kutcher perhaps making a trip over here?"

Obviously irritated by the question, the Eminem collaborator on hit single "Love the Way You Lie" responded, "Wow. How disappointing was that question?" After letting out a few of uncomfortable chuckles, she puts to rest the rumors once and for all as sarcastically stating, "I'm happy and I'm single, if that's what you were really asking."

Rihanna was rumored to be hooking up with the estranged husband of Demi Moore after she was spotted visiting his Los Angeles mansion on Wednesday, March 21 midnight. It was said that she left the place four hours later in her driven black Escalade and made no attempt to dodge paparazzi's cameras.

First Look at Russell Crowe as Inspector Javert on 'Les Miserables' Set

 Another photo taken from the set of Tom Hooper's "Les Miserables" in Buckinghamshire, England has been shared online, revealing a first look at Russell Crowe as Inspector Javert. Saddling up on a horse, Crowe is seen donning a Napoleon-like costume complete with a bicorne.

Javert is a rigid authoritative Frenchman who imprisons Hugh Jackman's Jean Valjean after he stole a bread to feed his sister's starving children during an economic depression in France. Javert later releases Valjean on parole, but then dedicates his life to imprisoning him again.

Previously, there was another on-set picture that unveils a first look at Jackman as ex-con Valjean. In contrary to Crowe's dapper look, Jackman was snapped rocking dirty rags while sporting poorly-shaven haircut that exposed scars all over his head.

Based on an acclaimed novel by Victor Hugo, "Les Miserables" is written by William Nicholson. The prestigious musical film project also stars Anne Hathaway as Fantine, Eddie Redmayne as Marius, Amanda Seyfried as Cosette, Samantha Barks as Eponine, as well as Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter as the Thenardier couple.

Universal Pictures will release the anticipated movie in the U.S. on December 14.

Octomom Explains Topless Photos: This Is More of a Celebration of a Woman's Body

 Nadya Suleman has once again grabbed the headlines. This time, the Octomom does it with some semi-nude photos as she goes topless for a paid interview with a U.K. Magazine, Closer. In an interview with Celebuzz, she confirmed that her financial situation forced her to do the revealing photo spread, but was quick to point out, "It's more a celebration kind of thing."

"Well, I got the opportunity from my manager and I said no at first," said the 36-year-old when explaining why she agreed to pose in only nude panties. "Then I thought about it for awhile and I realized, you know we are destitute right now. If I wasn't in the situation I'm in I wouldn't even fathom doing something like that. It's not conducive to my morals and values, but the way I rationalized was it is the truth."

"You know, this is a woman's magazine," she further reasoned. "It's not a men's magazine, which I perceive to be exploitative and over sexualized. This is more of a celebration of a woman's body - particularly after having one child, let alone 14. I think all women should have the confidence and inner strength to be okay with themselves and to express themselves and love themselves and be confident." She added, "And of course, I needed the money. That's the primary reason. That's mainly it."

Suleman further stressed that she didn't do nude photos. "I said no to nude, it wasn't nude, it was topless and it was me covering my private areas," she insisted. "I have underwear on the whole time. It's really when you think about it, I am showing no more than when I did the bikini photo shoot, which I also haven't seen [laughs]. So I don't feel it's inappropriate."

The mother of 14 continued, "I am absolutely not ashamed whatsoever. I was kind of proud that nothing had to be airbrushed. I was hiding my tattoos in the underwear and a little make-up on the tattoos and that's it. I was proud of that." When asked if any of her children has seen the photos, she responded, "You wouldn't believe, I haven't seen one picture."

An attorney for Suleman also offered similar reason on why the woman who gave birth to octuplets in 2009 posed topless for Closer. "She's not doing well. She's struggling financially and she does whatever she can," Jeff Czech told The Associated Press on Tuesday, March 27. While the lawyer remained silence on how much Suleman was paid for the photo shoot, TMZ claimed she received $10,000.

Pitbull's 'Back in Time' From 'Men in Black 3' Arrives in Full


In anticipation of "Men in Black 3" which will be released in theaters across the U.S. on May 25, a brand new single recorded by Pitbull for the movie was fully unleashed. Titled "Back in Time", it sampled Mickey & Sylvia's 1950s hit "Love Is Strange", and marked the first time ever Will Smith did not record "Men in Black" soundtrack himself.

"It's an incredible honor to be a part of such an amazing franchise as 'Men in Black' and I have so much respect for Will Smith, especially with our similar musical backgrounds," Pitbull said. "Wanting to keep the music fun yet modern, we used the slogan of the movie and flipped it back into the song that 'in order to understand the future, you have to go back in time'."

In "MIB 3", Agent J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing perplexes him as much as his partner Agent K. As K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, J will have to travel back in time to put things right and he discovers secrets to the universe that K never told him. Josh Brolin is going to play the young K.

Justin Bieber Shares Advice on How to Be a Great Boyfriend

 Justin Bieber apparently believes he knows a thing or two when it comes to relationships. As his newest single, "Boyfriend", was released on radio stations and on iTunes Monday, March 26 morning, the pop sensation who is in a relationship with Selena Gomez shared his advice on how to be a great boyfriend.

The 18-year-old singer, who was discovered at the age of 13 by Usher, first said in a new interview with E! News, "To be a great boyfriend you just have to have patience." He went on to note, "You're always wrong when it comes to girls, you're always wrong, so just say sorry when things are rough."

In a separate interview, Bieber talked about what makes him a good boyfriend. The "Baby" hitmaker, who was nominated for two Grammy Awards this year, gushed to Radio Disney, "I'm loving and patient and kind and gentle."

He continued to point out, "It's just about being honest with one another. You just have to be honest, that's the first thing, because if you're not honest then the relationship is just not a good relationship. At the end of the day, your girl would appreciate you being honest more than lying to her and vice versa."

Days earlier, Bieber also opened up about learning more about love as he grows older. Stopping by Elvis Duran's NYC Z100 radio show on March 24, he said, "When you're 13, that's when you're first trying to figure out what it means - that's kind of a puppy love. Now, being 18 and trying to figure out what it actually really means is a totally different story."

Lady GaGa Bares Her Makeup Free Face in New Photo

 Lady GaGa has once again stripped her face from all of the heavy make-up. Months after presenting a toned-down look on the cover of Harper's Bazaar, the "Born This Way" hitmaker took another picture of her makeup free face. On Monday, March 26, she shared the snap to her more than 20 million followers on Twitter.

The five-time Grammy winner, who'll turn 26 on Wednesday, took the photo herself using her Blackberry. Standing in front of what seems to be a bathroom mirror, she wears a grey tank top, pulls her platinum hair back and slips a white flower behind one ear. Along with the photo, she wrote, "Have a beautiful day!!"

GaGa previously went au natural for the October 2011 issue of Harper's Bazaar. In an accompanying article, the "Poker Face" singer commented, "I don't really view it as 'natural.' I think that artifice is the new reality. It's more about just being honest and sincere to the core of what you do. Whether I'm wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I'm always the same person inside."

As for the new photo, it came out after GaGa told Oprah Winfrey about her plan to go on a media blackout. "Other than this interview, Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time," she said. "No press, no television, if my mom calls and says, 'Did you hear about?' I don't want to know nothing about anything that is going on in relation to music."

My bad luck I couldn’t do ‘Krrish 3′ – Jacqueline Fernandez

 Sri Lankan actress Jacqueline Fernandez, who is just three films old in Bollywood, regrets not doing “Krrish 3″ and clarifies that director Sajid Khan does not influence her decisions.
“‘Krrish 3′… I think more of my bad luck. It was unfortunate clash of dates. I felt a major burden on lot of people, so I had to make the decision. Both parties tried hard to make it work, but it didn’t work. It’s my bad luck I couldn’t do ‘Krrish 3′,” Jacqueline, who debuted in Bollywood with 2009 release “Aladin”, told IANS.
Another offer that she turned down was for Mahesh Bhatt’s “Raaz 3″ because she didn’t want to be typecast.
“Unfortunately you tend to get stereotype in the industry and that was the major concern for me. When ‘Murder 2′ released, there were lot of offers coming my way,” she said.
“When we got into the later stage of finalisation of ‘Raaz 3′, I just was not comfortable. I felt I have done it in ‘Murder 2′, so it’s time to move on. ‘Housefull 2′ was a major relief. It’s a different genre. It sees me as a lot more Indianised,” added the 26-year-old.
Countering speculation that her “Housefull 2″ director Sajid Khan is mentoring her, Jacqueline said: “There has always been a reason for my action. I am not from this industry.
“I have made my movies and career choices completely on my own. When it comes to these things, I don’t take advice. I don’t have mentors. Sajid Khan is not my mentor. People are very quick to take the credit, but are not quick to take the blame.”
Jacqueline is currently gearing up for “Housefull 2″ release. The film is scheduled for an April 5 release.

Angelina Jolie Discusses 'Maleficent': It's Not Anti-Princess Movie

 After taking a break from acting to work on her directorial debut "In the Land of Blood and Honey", Angelina Jolie is ready to perform in front of the camera again in "Maleficent". Though the movie is about the villainous queen in the classic Sleeping Beauty tale, Jolie insisted that the upcoming retelling film is not an "anti-princess."

Discussing the forthcoming Walt Disney Pictures movie with Entertainment Weekly, Jolie said, "The next thing I'm doing is 'Maleficent' for Disney. I start it in June, and it's a really great script." She added, "I'm having a lot of fun. I've already got my horns fitted. My kids are very happy."

Asked if Maleficent will be a protagonist instead of a villainess, the longtime partner of Brad Pitt said, "It's not anti-princess, but it's the first time they're looking at this epic woman." The actress explained, "I hope in the end you see a woman who is capable of being many things, and just because she protects herself and is aggressive, it doesn't mean she can't have other [warmer] qualities. You have to figure out the puzzle of what she is."

The "Salt" actress elaborated further on the supposedly antagonist character as saying, "It sounds really crazy to say that there will be something that's good for young girls in this, because it sounds like you're saying they should be a villain." She continued, "[Maleficent] is actually a good person. But she's not perfect. She's far from perfect."

As for how she will look like in her portrayal as the sorceress, Jolie said, "We're still figuring out the look. We're experimenting with different things." Still, she guaranteed that she will wear the character's iconic horn as appeared in the original 1959 animated film. "The horns are the horns - you can't deny them, You have to have horns," said the actress.

"Maleficent" will be directed by Robert Stromberg with Linda Woolverton penning the script based on the classic Charles Perrault fairytale. The retelling movie still hasn't set a U.S. release date yet.

Artist of the Week: One Direction

 One Direction take the United States by storm. The five good-looking boys, who claimed their fame after participating on "The X Factor" season 7, become talk of the town after making a notable mark both on Billboard Hot 100 and Hot 200.

The boyband landed at No. 28 on the U.S. single chart with their single "What Makes You Beautiful". It marked a highest debut for any U.K. act since Jimmy Ray landed at No. 26 and a highest entry by a U.K. group since Spice Girls bowed at No. 11.

In the album chart, the boys soared to No. 1 with "Up All Night". By doing so, they beat The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Spice Girls, Coldplay, Radiohead and Queen by becoming the first U.K. group to top the weekly rundown at a first try.

"We simply cannot believe that we are No.1 in America! It's beyond a dream come true for us. We want to thank each and every one of our fans in the U.S. who bought our album and we would also like to thank the American public for being so supportive of us," Harry Styles said.

Niall Horan added, "We just found out that we are No.1 in America and as you can imagine, we are over the moon! When we got put together as a group, we couldn't imagine ourselves coming to America, let alone releasing our album here, so for us to be sitting at the top of the US album charts is unbelievable. We are so grateful to everyone who has supported us in the U.S."

To celebrate the album release, they held a mall tour for an autograph event. At the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota recently, they broke the single-day attendance record for the mall. Accordingly, more than 11,000 people came to the shopping center.

Next, they will be touring across North America starting May 24 in Fairfax, Va. This becomes their first headlining roadshow but it's actually not their first tour Stateside. They opened for fellow Big Time Rush in the band's previous tour.

Before hitting the road, the boys will visit "Saturday Night Live". Harry Styles and his pals are scheduled to perform on the variety show on April 7 with "Modern Family" actress Sofia Vergara serving as a host.

I like to stay in my own bubble – Priyanka Chopra

 Constant media scrutiny has compelled Bollywood diva Priyanka Chopra to stop reading newspapers. She says it’s a way to protect herself as she likes being in her own bubble.
“Every time there is something I know that is going to irritate me, I try and block it out. So I don’t read the newspaper or see the news,” said Priyanka after winning the title of Big CBS Love’s “India’s Glam Diva”.
“I like to stay in my own bubble. It’s my way to protect myself, because I happen to be in the newspaper more often than not,” she added.
As of now, Priyanka is on a roll after two back-to-back hits – “Don 2: The King is Back” and “Agneepath”.
She has wrapped up shooting for Kunal Kohli’s tentatively titled “Teri Meri Kahaani” opposite Shahid Kapoor, and is currently working on “Barfi!” and “Krrish 2″.

It is important to be No. 1 – Priyanka Chopra

 Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, who is doing fairly well in showbiz, says it is very important to be on the top but at the same time, feels it is difficult to say who is No.1 or No.2.
“It is very important to be No 1. Since school days one wants to be No 1. In this competitive world, you have to be No 1 – whether in school or anywhere else. That doesn’t mean you stamp on people’s faces,” said Priyanka, the brand ambassador of Nikon, during the unveiling of a new camera range.
“But it is impossible to decide who is No.1 or No.2. Nobody can decide who is No 1. An actress tends to do three to four films a year and all that films cannot be a hit. We make so many films in a year,” she added the former Miss World.
Asked who according to her is very photogenic, the 29-year-old said: “You have to be photogenic if you want to be an actress. I am photogenic. Rekhaji is very photogenic. Dharmendarji with the kind of features he has, he is always smiling. Among my contemporaries, Katrina Kaif, Aishwarya Rai and Deepika Padukone are very photogenic.”
Priyank’s forthcoming films are “Barfi”, “Teri Meri Kahaani” and “Krrish 3″.

Vidya Balan’s ‘Kahaani’ enters third week, still going strong

 Vidya Balan’s “Kahaani” seems to have a struck a chord with the audiences in a big way as the gripping thriller has entered its third week and is still proving to be a crowd puller. The film not only defies the new box office mantra of “focus on first three days’ box office collection”, but also proves that the actress has a long way to go.
The film earned Rs.43.05 crore since its release March 9.
Director Sujoy Ghosh made it at a budget of Rs.8 crore and the collections show that it’s a bumper hit of the first quarter of the year. The second week breakup goes like Rs.2.5 crore Friday, Rs.4.7 crore Saturday, Rs.4.9 crore Sunday, Rs.2 crore Monday, Rs.1.75 crore Tuesday, Rs.1.6 crore Wednesday and Rs.1.5 crore Thursday.
“Generally, most films register a 50 percent to 70 percent decline in the second week, since the screen count is fair/massive these days, but the decline in this case was around 25 percent, which is simply remarkable,” tweeted trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
“Kahaani” has also proved wrong those who said that Vidya Balan’s “The Dirty Picture” triumphed because it was full of skin show. Despite no skin show and no glamour, “Kahaani” has rocked the box office, thanks to Vidya’s powerful performance, the storyline and Ghosh’s deft treatment to the script.
In the film, set in the backdrop of Kolkata, Vidya plays a software programmer, who comes to the city from London in search of her husband, who is the father of her unborn child. The thriller also features Bengali actor Parambrata Chatterjee and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in prominent roles.
The film was promoted extensively, but it is word of mouth that has played a vital role in making the film a money-spinner at the box office in the second week, says Anant Verma, business head and director, DT Cinemas.
“Apart from good content, word of mouth publicity has lead to the film doing wonders at the box-office,” Verma told IANS.
“Moreover, there has been a lot of hype around Vidya Balan as she swept away all the awards for her portrayal in ‘The Dirty Picture’. There is still a lot of curiosity among people,” he added.
Delhi-based distributor Joginder Mahajan also admits that the business for “Kahaani” has been much more than expected.
“The success of ‘Kahaani’ reinforces the fact that content is the king. The film has done an exceptional business. After ‘The Dirty Picture’, a certain kind of image was created in the minds of people about Vidya, but she instantly broke the mould with ‘Kahaani’. Her acting is being really appreciated in the film,” said Mahajan.
Despite the release of “Agent Vinod”, Verma is expecting occupancy of over 85 percent in the third week too.
“The film ran with packed theatres in the second week and now as the exams are over, more people will come to watch the film. We are expecting occupancy of over 85 percent in the coming week,” he added.
The actress has proved that the success of “The Dirty Picture” was no flash in the pan and that she can carry any role with aplomb. “Paa”, “Ishqiya”, “No One Killed Jessica”, “The Dirty Picture” and now “Kahaani”, Vidya’s winning streak continues.

Kim Kardashian and PETA React to Flour Bomb Incident

 Kim Kardashian has made a comment about the flour-bomb incident that shocked her at the London Hotel in West Hollywood Thursday, March 22 evening. The reality star refused to take the embarrassing incident seriously, telling E! News, "I'm fine. You have to laugh it off! I brushed off and came right back out."

Kim was launching her new fragrance, True Reflection, at the event. Suddenly a younger woman who is described as short and Asian, came between Kim and her publicist, dumping a bag of flour on top of Kim's head. The woman reportedly shouted "Fur hag!" before she made a run for the exit. This led to speculation that she was related to PETA.

The organization, however, denied the connection, saying "PETA has tried everything from polite letters to public protests, but Kim Kardashian has not been moved by the news that animals are beaten, electrocuted, and even skinned alive for real fur garments. Whoever threw that flour may reach her when our polite appeals did not."

The woman was detained by hotel security. Although no charges was filed on her, a non-criminal battery report was still filed.

Kim Kardashian Considers Pressing Charges Against Flour-Bomber

 Kim Kardashian has apparently changed her mind about her recent flour-bomb incident. A day after telling the press that she won't file a complaint against the woman who dumped a bag of white flour on her head, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star confessed that she's now considering to press charges.

The estranged wife of Kris Humphries discussed the issue when talking to Giuliana Rancic and Ken Baker of E! News. "I said earlier no I wasn't," she admitted. "I am just going to think about it, because I don't want someone to think they can really get away with that. So we are going to handle that."

"Now that I think about it and had some time to digest it," she continued on, "I think, 'What if that was some other substance? What if that person had a dangerous weapon?' It's scary. And what's even scarier is this woman acted as if she was a part of the press. She just came out of nowhere! And so we are definitely changing things up a little bit, amping up security, taking some measures, and...I'm gonna definitely deal with it because it is not acceptable."

Speaking of her initial reaction, the 31-year-old said, "I was laughing it off earlier and, you know, I think that is the only thing I knew how to do at the time." She went on to point out, "But I just think it is such a shame that someone like that...would ruin an event, or attempt to ruin an event, that was based around, not only my fragrance, but this organization, Dress For Success."

"I mean that's what the event was about," she stressed. "These women flew in from all over the country to be a part of this event, that are underprivileged women, that really got the shine taken away from them a little bit. That's why I am calling in now. I feel bad that it was kind of derailed from that."

Asked how she managed to clean up the mess and return to the red carpet within minutes, Kim responded, "I have no idea. I didn't think it was that bad until I saw the pictures today and was like, 'Wow, there was so much powder on me,' or flour, or whatever it was! But, as soon as I got in the elevator, I said, 'Guys there are a ton of people that are paying money to be at this event.' "

"My mom was using a blow dryer trying to get it out of my hair," she recounted. "My whole jacket was wet, because you know we were making sure it didn't look like it was white. She was wetting it down and I said, 'I don't care. Wet or not I'm just gonna put this back on, get all this powder off and go back down there and finish the event. We're not going to let this ruin it.' "

Kim was flour-bombed when hitting the red carpet for the launch of her new fragrance, True Reflection, on Thursday, March 22 night. She was talking to the press when a younger woman, who is described as short and Asian, came between the reality star and her publicist, and dumped the flour on her. The woman was detained by hotel security, but has since been released.

Angelina Jolie Breaks Silence on Leg-Baring Oscars Pose

 Angelina Jolie has finally addressed her bizarre leg-baring pose at the 84th Annual Academy Awards. Weeks after sparking media frenzy by constantly sticking her right leg out of her dress at the Hollywood event, the longtime partner of Brad Pitt told The Huffington Post, "I honestly didn't pay attention to it. You know what I mean?"

"I don't watch those TV shows and if I go online and see something about myself, I don't click on it. And the people I surround myself with don't really talk about that kind of stuff," the 36-year-old beauty added with a laugh. "I heard something, but I didn't pay any attention. It's as simple as being a woman picking a dress you like and having a night, and not really thinking about anything else."

Jolie became the center of attention at this year's Oscars after she showed off her right leg through the slit of her black velvet Versace gown on the red carpet and on the stage when presenting Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Screenplay. Her leg quickly became a trending topic on Twitter, and even spawned an account called "Angie's Right Leg".

The "In the Land of Blood and Honey" director's stance got more attention after "The Descendants" writers Nat Faxon and Jim Rash struck similar pose when accepting their Best Adapted Screenplay prize. Many speculated they were mocking the actress, but the writer duo denied it. Rash, in particular, said, "Really, it was a loving tribute and nothing but."

Report: Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake Plan to Have a Big Wedding


Words on the street are, Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are not holding back on the celebration when they are tying the knot this coming August. Us Weekly has just brought out more details about the engaged couple's upcoming wedding, revealing that their wedding will be a big one.

Though 30-year-old Biel and 31-year-old Timberlake are known as a notoriously private couple, a source told the publication, "They have lots of people they want to invite." While the twosome allegedly have decided to get married in California, they remain undecided on the venue since they will need a place that offers plenty of room.

As for her wedding planning, Biel is said to have got a helping hand from Timberlake's mother, Lynn Harless, who's "helping [her] with every little thing." Us Weekly further noted that the former "7th Heaven" actress still has Monique Lhuillier as her first choice when it comes to her dress. A so-called friend of her added, "Monique Lhuillier has sent over some sketches."

Words that Timberlake has popped the question to Biel came out back in early January. Us Weekly at the time claimed that the two got engaged in December 2011 while they were up in the mountains of Jackson, Wyoming. Days later, his grandmother confirmed the engagement rumors, clarifying that the proposal was actually done in Montana.

Biel was reportedly spotted wearing her engagement ring while attending a "Saturday Night Live" after-party in February. She allegedly showed it to Amy Poehler and Kristen Wiig who "loved the ring and chatted [Jessica] up about it." In early March, she was seen wearing the ring when enjoying a late lunch with Timberlake and another couple at Brentwood eatery Tavern.

Bootleg Version of 'Breaking Dawn II' Teaser Trailer Found

The first full teaser trailer of "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part II" has arrived in the form of a bootleg version. More than 15 seconds longer that its sneak peek, the promo video offers a close-up look at Bella as a vampire complete with her blood-red eyes. Near the end of the preview, a footage of Bella going deer hunting is teased.

The official teaser itself made its debut attached to the midnight theater screening of "The Hunger Games" on Friday, March 23. One fan, Joanna Cruz, shared her reaction to MTV News, "I'm speechless. I really don't know what to say about that. It was so quick. It didn't even give what was going to go on in the movie, all we saw was the red eyes."

Another fan, Esther Portyansky, commented, "I think the 'Twilight' trailer was really interesting. Usually trailers are more about the plot, but I think the people that are gonna watch know what happens in the last one so it was more character shots and getting people's attentions. Vampire Bella was very beautiful. I liked the red eyes."

"Breaking Dawn Part II" picks up where the first part left off, right after the birth of Bella and Edward's daughter, Renesmee, and the transformation of Bella into a vampire. With the arrival of Renesmee, the Cullens and their allies are now facing the impending battle against the fearsome council of vampire leaders, the Volturi.

Due to open wide in theaters across the United States on November 16, this final installment of the "Twilight Saga" series has Bill Condon serving behind the lens and Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner returning as Bella, Edward and Jacob respectively. Mackenzie Foy will make her debut as Renesmee.

Big Studios in Bidding Wars for 'Twilight'-Inspired Story 'Fifty Shades of Grey'

 After the success of "Twilight" movie series, major studios are fighting over the rights to turn "Fifty Shades of Grey", a story that started out as a fan fiction of the Stephenie Meyer novels, into a movie in hopes to score big when it hits the big screen. Those who get in the middle of the bidding wars include Universal, Sony, Paramount and Warner Brothers. HBO, however, is rumored to have refused to join the pitch.

Inspired by teen romance between Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, the story was written by British writer E. L. James, mother of two who works as a TV executive. Described as "a mommy porn," it revolves around a dominant/submissive relationship between a billionaire named Christian Grey and a naive college student named Anastasia Steele.

Offering a much darker story than that of "Twilight", the material was originally titled "Master of the Universe" and posted on a fan fiction website for a free reading. Due to its highly positive responses, it's then printed and yanked off the free story-sharing site. It now has been turned into three books including "Fifty Shades Darker" and "Fifty Shades Freed".

Top executives from most of the studios reportedly have met James and her literary agent Valerie Hoskins for negotiations. Accordingly, the teams delivered presentations, some of them were highly elaborate, to explain why they are the best candidates to handle the project. All the offers are exepected to be submitted to the sellers by Friday

Top-notch movie makers like "J. Edgar" producer Brian Grazer, "Rock of Ages" director Adam Shankman and "The Break-Up" producer Scott Stuber are said among those who are interested in the project. They allegedly are scheduled to meet the sellers later in the week.

"I think it will get insane," one producer predicted the bidding number. "It will go for an upfront fee between $3 and 5 million."

Pitbull Fires Back at Lindsay Lohan: Her Allegations Would Lead to Absurd Results

 Pitbull has responded to the lawsuit launched by Lindsay Lohan last year in complaint to his "Give Me Everything" lyrics which mention her name. The rapper claims through his attorneys that the accusations made against him are threatening free speech rights, so sustaining them "would lead to absurd results."

"The use of a celebrity's name in any work of art -- such as a song, poem or painting -- would trigger liability," the defendant explains. "Indeed, if Ms. Lohan is allowed to proceed with her claim, every recording artist could be gagged and prevented from expressing his or her thoughts in songs, including the other recording artists who have referred to Ms. Lohan in their songs but whom she has not sued."

Giving an example to support his defense case, the "Hotel Room Service" rhymer includes a footnote which points out that the "Mean Girls" actress has been mentioned in Eminem's 2009 song "Same Song & Dance", yet she doesn't sue the Slim Shady. In his song, Marshall Mathers raps, "Hello Lindsay you're looking a little thin, hun'; How about a ride to rehab?"

The "International Love" MC additionally notes that fellow artist Ryan Seacrest whom he also mentions in the "Give Me Everything" lyrics doesn't complain about the song. Instead, the "American Idol" host invited him to make a live performance in Times Square on "Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve 2012".

Lindsay accused Pitbull of causing her pain and mental with his song "Give Me Everything". He, however, insisted that he never meant to "defame, degrade or hurt someone's career." He once explained, "You see the way I start off the record, where I say, 'I took my life from negative to positive/ I just want y'all to know that' - when I mention Lindsay Lohan in the record, it was really a positive message."

Katy Perry Denies Dissing Beyonce and Shakira: F**k You All Press

 Katy Perry was clearly furious at the media for making a false report. Soon after she's rumored to have dissed fellow singers Beyonce Knowles and Shakira, the pop singer took to Twitter to set the record straight.

"F**k all y'all (press) dat thinks I dissed anyone, puhlez, u havin a slow news day or what?! Get a life, cuz it's not mine! #hoodratcominout," she posted before following it up with another angry note, "If ya ears are filled with wax it's time to get a cleanse boo."

Katy was claimed to have dissed Beyonce and Shakira by implying that their duet record "Beautiful Liar" was not iconic. She reportedly launched the diss when confirming to BBC's Radio 1 that she's working on a collaboration with Rihanna.

"We've collaborated on a lot of things, but just not songs yet. It's one of those things that's got so much build up that we have to deliver. I want it to be like that Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin song 'Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves', not 'Beautiful Liar'," she said as quoted by the Mirror.

She allegedly added, "But I definitely want to do something that is so iconic. Rihanna's kind of busy too. We're both busy but we planted the seed two years ago. How disappointed would you be if that song came out and it's no good? Sometimes you have to wait for greatness."

During her visit to Radio 1, Katy managed to make a live performance. Wearing a Yankees cap to pay homage to Jay-Z, the "Part of Me" singer channeled her inner rap star and delivered "Ni**as in Paris", Jigga's single with Kanye West.

Disney Claims to Lose $200M From Mega-Budgeted 'John Carter'

 "John Carter" is close to become a movie that suffers the biggest box office flop of all time. On Monday, March 19, Walt Disney Pictures announced that it expects to lose $200 million on the mega-budgeted Barsomian epic movie, which cost an estimated $350 million to produce.

"In light of the theatrical performance of 'John Carter' ($184 million global box office), we expect the film to generate an operating loss of approximately $200 million during our second fiscal quarter ending March 31," so the studio stated. "As a result, our current expectation is that the Studio segment will have an operating loss between $80 and $120 million for the second quarter."

Weighing in on the issue, president of the box-office division of Hollywood.com, Paul Dergarabedian, said that "John Carter" is likely to be placed in the Hollywood's all-time biggest money-losers. "Unfortunately for 'John Carter', the story became all about this massive budget," he said, as quoted by Los Angeles Times. "The movie will take one of the biggest losses in recent memory."

Another expert, Harold Vogel, who is the president of Vogel Capital Management said, "This is a little unpleasant episode or scratch." He added, "Disney is so much larger than all of this, they can easily absorb the loss and go on and have many, many good years in the future. It's the equivalent of a ding on the side of your car. You wish it didn't happen. But at the end of the day, the car drives fine."

Though suffering a great loss from the Taylor Kitsch-starring movie, Disney is still optimistic to collect a massive gross from its other upcoming releases. "As we look forward to the second half of the year, we are excited about the upcoming releases of 'The Avengers' and 'Brave', which we believe have tremendous potential to drive value for the Studio and the rest of the company," the studio hoped.

Receiving mixed reviews from critics, "John Carter" grossed a so-so $30.1 million domestically on its opening weekend. In its second week since it was released in the U.S. on March 9, the Andrew Stanton-directed film collected only $13.5 million, dropping 55% from the prior week.

I don’t have body for item number – Sonam Kapoor

 She is slim, tall and pretty, but Sonam Kapoor feels she can’t do justice to a saucy and pacy item number.
“I don’t have a body to do an item number. I am slim, trim and healthy but I don’t have the grace and style and all that requires a little time to develop. I am a little young right now,” Sonam said at an event here.
The fashionista’s dancing ability were seen in “Saawariya”, “Delhi-6″ and “Aisha”. But she doesn’t have any hit dance number to her credit so far.
However, she loves Bollywood’s “Munni” Malaika Arora Khan among the string of actresses who have grooved to item songs in recent times.
“Malaika Arora. She is the Helen of our generation. If anybody can do an item number, then it is Malaika. She is superb. Nobody can beat her. She is fantastic,” said Sonam.
The actress is currently busy shooting for Rakyesh Om Prakash Mehra’s “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag”, in which she will share screen space with Farhan Akhtar.
