One Vampire Diaries couple may be done, but another Vampire Diaries actress is just getting started on her romantic future. On the heels of Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev breaking up, Candice Accola took to Twitter today and made an exciting announcement: She’s engaged to Joe King of The Fray!!! “Cheers from the future Mr.&Mrs. Joseph Aaron King,” Accola Tweeted this afternoon along with the photo above, while the musician popped the all-important question during a trip to Florence. We’ll add more details as they come in, but join us for now in wishing these two love birds all the very, very, very best!
Look at it this way, Justin Bieber: at least this will serve as a distraction from your ongoing reckless driving issues . A 27-year old European tells Star Magazine she slept with Bieber in February of 2010 and gave birth to the singer’s child nine months later. “Justin didn’t know anything about it,” an insider tells the tabloid. “She just wanted to protect her baby. She wanted to keep her and her family away from any spotlight.” So why is she coming out now? That (along with the validity of this story) is unclear. But the woman reportedly met Bieber at a Friday’s in South Beach and went back to the Gansevoort South hotel to consummate the relationship (if you know what we mean!!!). She then returned to Europe a few weeks later, discovered she was knocked up and, according to Star, was “100 percent sure” Justin was responsible. “In my opinion, [the toddler] does look a lot like Justin did at that same age,” the magazine’s anonymous source hilariously adds. Unlike Mariah Yeater , who sued Bieber for paternity of her baby in 2011 and who was eventually proven to be a total liar, this woman is apparently not asking for a thing from the star. “She’s going to leave it up to Justin to decide, at any point in the future that he chooses, if he ever wants to get involved with the child.”
Just one day after turning 38 years old, Andre 3000 received the worst news imaginable this week: His mother passed away.

A number of celebrities, prominently in the hip hop industry, Tweeted their thoughts and prayers to Andre soon afterward. “My condolences go out to Dre, and the entire Benjamin-Hodo family,” Jermaine Dupri wrote, while producer 9th Wonder added: “Pray for the good brother Andre 3000 and his family…” We send our best wishes to Andre and his loved ones as well.
There’s no way… is there? A documentary that aired over the weekend on Discovery’s Animal Planet has raised new questions over the existence of mermaids. Aptly titled Mermaids: The New Evidence , the series examines the myth and the rumors surrounding these aquatic hominids. It is a follow-up to 2012’s Mermaids: The Body Found . The program netted record ratings for the network, despite The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration stating that “no evidence” of these creatures has ever been found. Still, the following video has apparently raised some questions for viewers: Mermaids: New Evidence of Existence? Where do you stand? Do mermaids exist? Yes No Maybe View Poll »
What do you call character posters when the actors in a film aren’t really playing characters? Actor posters? Meta-character posters?
