Emily VanCamp has reportedly signed on for her first major movie role. The (gorgeous!) Revenge star will portray the female lead in Captain America: The Winter Soldier , Movie Fanatic reports, although the actual identity of her character remains under wraps.

It returns Chris Evans as the Patriotic title character and will also feature Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, Cobie Smulders, Frank Grillo, Toby Jones, and Samuel L. Jackson.
So much for a friendly split. The Bethenny Frankel divorce case against Jason Hoppy has grown seriously contentious, with the main obstacle between the former couple also being the cutest: Two-year old daughter Brynn. Both sides have filed for primary custody of the little one, with a source telling Us Weekly that Hoppy really did intend to “play nice” at the outset of this break-up. But ” Jason is livid with how cold Bethenny has been with him since the the split,” a friend alleges. “He wants to make her pay.” And Hoppy’s actions have blindsided the talk show host, who thought she could quickly file for divorce and not deal with any “hassle,” the source adds. If only, huh? Sounds like a problem that not even world the famous Bethenny Frankel granola recipe can fix.
Christina Ricci is officially off the market. Months after she was first spotted with a new diamond ring on her finger, the star’s rep confirms that she is engaged to dolly grip boyfriend James Heerdegen. “A couple months back,” Ricci said Friday , asked when Heerdegen, who worked on Ricci’s short-lived ABC series Pan Am , popped the question. This will be the first trip down the aisle for Ricci, 32, who was briefly engaged a few years ago to Owen Benjamin. How’s she feeling about the event? “I worked so much last year that I just really wanted to have some time off to just kind of live,” she said. “You kind of need to take time to be a real person.” Indeed. Congrats to Christina and James!
Unknown hackers besieged Twitter this week and may have gained passwords and personal information of up to 250,000 users during the cyber-attack. Twitter confirmed it was hacked in a blog post, saying that the passwords were encrypted and that it already reset them as a “precautionary measure.” The social network is “in the process” of notifying affected users. Twitter noted recent revelations of cyber attacks against the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal , but did not elaborate on the origin or methodology of the attacks. “This attack was not the work of amateurs, and we do not believe it was an isolated incident,” Twitter said on its website, following the hacking. “The attackers were extremely sophisticated, and we believe that other companies and organizations have also been recently similarly attacked.” Twitter, which has 200 million active monthly users, said it was working with government and federal law enforcement officials to track down the attackers. The company did not specifically link the attacks to China in the blog post, in contrast to the Times and Journal , which both said the hackers originated in China. Twitter, known for its 140-character messages, could not speculate on the origin of the attacks as its investigation was ongoing, said spokesman Jim Prosser. “There is no evidence now that would indicate passwords were compromised,” said Prosser. Whoever was responsible and why, it’s a trend that isn’t going away anytime soon. Last month, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warned against the imminent risk of a 9/11-level cyber attack.
