Really, truly unfortunate haircuts. His blue eyes, however, have always been piercing. Right into our souls. His vampire brother Paul Wesley, meanwhile, has a very Six Degrees of Separation background. Wesley’s big break came in daytime TV as the second incarnation of Max Nickerson on  Guiding Light , after Jesse Lee Soffer vacated the role. He later went on to play Tommy Callahan on  Everwood ​ and had a thing for characters named Tommy, as that was the name of his football player character on  American Dreams .

Justin Bieber Parties Too Hard Again, Could End Up in Jail

Yup. Justin Bieber remains a moron. The singer partied so hard this weekend that police were called FOUR TIMES to his Beverly Hills condo in response to noise complaints. According to TMZ sources, law enforcement officials showed up on the scene of Justin’s rooftop shindig at 8:30 PM, 12:50 AM, 1:50 AM and 3:00 AM. Bieber did not receive any kind of citation because he complied each time and turned the music down. However, the story doesn’t end there. Because Bieber is on probation for hurling eggs at his neighbor’s house in January, Beverly Hills police could forward this matter to the L.A. County Probation Department… which could trigger a probation violation. And this could land Justin in jail. Cops have responded to multiple incidents involving Bieber at the condo over the past few weeks, many of which included noise and marijuana. Bieber has also been ordered to testify about Selena Gomez in a second deposition in relation to a lawsuit filed by a photographer against Bieber’s bodyguard. Someday, perhaps, Bieber will actually be clear of the law. 23 Reasons Justin Bieber Needs to Get Punched 1. He Can’t Keep His Shirt On Yeah. Selfies like this work if you’re Matthew McConaughey. Not Justin Bieber. Also, Matthew McConaughey would never post selfies like this because he doesn’t need to constantly beg for attention or prove to himself that he’s cool.

Teresa Giudice to Be Fired From The Real Housewives of New Jersey Over Andy Cohen Feud?!

Last night’s Christmas episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey featured Joe and Teresa Giudice going about their holiday business while staring down the possibility prison time for fraud charges. To say the Giudices have a lot on their plate these days would be a colossal understatement, but believe it or not, their problems may have just gotten worse. Reports emerged today that Bravo executives are seriously considering the idea of firing Teresa from the show that made her famous. With prison looming and four young children to support, now would be the worst possible time for the Giudice family to lose Teresa’s $700,000 salary . However, the show’s declining ratings, coupled with Housewife’s diva-like behavior have reportedly led producers to consider dropping her from the cast. Sources say Teresa’s recent feud with Andy Cohen over comments the Bravo president made on Watch What Happens Live may have been the final straw. “Bravo bosses are starting to think Teresa isn’t worth keeping around if her behavior continues,” an insider tells Radar Online.  “The network is very sensitive to the fact that she’s facing a looming prison sentence and has tried to work with her during this difficult time.” “But Teresa has cut back substantially on media appearances to promote the show and has been acting like a diva.” Of course, if Teresa ends up being sent to prison in September, then she likely won’t be capable of filming season seven of the formerly popular reality series. Still, getting canned would serve as the latest in a long line of humiliations for the Giudices. Think it will happen? Should it? Share your comments below … 13 Classic Teresa Giudice Moments 1. Teresa Giudice: Table Flipping And now for the classic. Teresa’s face is priceless as she famously flips the table. Bravo. Bravo.

Kendall Jenner: Topless For LOVE Magazine!

Reality star and model of the moment Kendall Jenner continues her couture ascent this week, gracing the cover of the high fashion publication LOVE. The cover photo features Kendall topless, because obviously it does. The 18-year-old was photographed by David Sims for the cover, and also appears in a black and white editorial spread shot by Mario Sorrenti. We’ve already seen one Kendall Jenner lingerie pic from it. Guilp. The image of the lithe beauty soaking wet in a black leather bra and underwear set nearly shut down Instagram last week, making the cover look tame. Which is saying something, when you’re wearing only a fur hood! The British magazine marks her latest foray into fashion as Kendall looks to be taken seriously as a fashion model and not just a reality star. In fact, she reportedly wants to quit Keeping Up With the Kardashians as soon as possible, and already nixed a potential spinoff series with E! 27 Wildly Inappropriate Photos of Kendall Jenner 1. Kendall Jenner Topless Photo Kendall Jenner is topless for this Interview Magazine photo. At least she’s covering up, though. “She is contractually obligated to appear, and there is a huge time commitment involved,” says a source. “In the past, she has had to pass on modeling shoots.” “Shooting for the television show takes precedence,” the insider added, noting that Kendall is obligated to film Keeping Up as long as it’s on the air. The hot sister can reject any additional shows, though, and has. Whether that’s true or not isn’t entirely clear, but she has caught the eye of influential Editor in Chief of LOVE , Katie Grand, who says of Jenner: “Kendall is not only one of our cover stars, but one of the breakthrough faces of the season, who I loved so much that I asked her to model in three of our stories this issue.” Whatever you think of her and her family, that is high praise. 43 Inappropriate Kylie and Kendall Jenner Photos 1.
