Planking is so 2011. Tebowing is so early 2012. The latest craze, heating up Hollywood at least? Makeup-free Twitter photos, as both Lady Gaga and Demi Lovato have gone all natural over the social network over the last few weeks. And now Jennifer Love Hewitt has joined the trend. What do you think of her bare look? If you aren’t a fan, have no fear. There’s always this Client List promo , in which Hewitt is made up… but seriously dressed down. Watch and drool over the video now.
Dick Clark passed away this morning after suffering a major heart attack. He had been in St. John’s hospital in L.A. for an outpatient procedure last night. The seemingly ageless show business legend, who earned the nickname “America’s Oldest Teenager” well into retirement age for most people, was 82. Clark’s rep confirm that the TV icon suffered the “massive” heart attack following the procedure, and attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. The Mount Vernon, N.Y. native was a powerhouse producer who changed the way America listened to pop music with American Bandstand in the ’50s and ’60s. He then started Dick Clark Productions, which produced countless hits. Clark became synonymous with everything from The $25,000 Pyramid to TV’s Bloopers & Practical Jokes to the American Music Awards … and December 31. Clark’s health had been declining ever since he suffered a major stroke in 2004, forcing him to retire from his hosting gig at New Years’ Rockin’ Eve . Clark created the NYE staple in 1972, and has continued appeared on the show every year, even after passing the hosting torch to Ryan Seacrest. Dick, who also battled Type 2 Diabetes, is survived by his current wife, Kari Wigton, and three adult children from his two previous marriages. He will be missed by generations of fans.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta is losing an original cast member. Sheree Whitfield tells Wet Paint she’s exiting the series after four difficult seasons as a Bravo star. And, as you can tell by her statement below, she’s doing it with her ego fully intact: “After four solid seasons of helping Bravo build the show into its most successful Housewives franchise, I have decided to leave. The direction the show is going in is no longer a fit for my lifestyle. I’m tired of the fighting and the cattiness. “I want to be part of something that empowers and inspires women to not only be healthy, but to treat themselves with respect. I wish the rest of the women the best of luck.” During the recently-wrapped fourth season, Whitfield battled with her ex for child support, while she has memorably clashed over the years with castmates NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak. Will you miss Sheree on The Real Housewives of Atlanta?
