Olivia Wilde Speaks on Sexual Maturity, Love

Olivia Wilde was originally slated to star as Linda Lovelace in a biopic of this 1970s porn star. So why did she pull out? “I decided that it should go to someone who is not already sexualized by the public,” the actress says in the latest issue of GQ UK , adding that Lovelace “was an innocent” and saying “Amanda [Seyfried] will do an amazing job” with the role. Wilde says she was “very sexually mature at a very young age,” which caused some problems growing up: “I was very comfortable with it and talking about it, and once someone hears a young woman speak candidly about sexuality, it’s like, ‘Whoa!’ You get labelled.” Currently dating Jason Sudeikis, the 27-year-old bombshell has linked to Justin Timberlake, Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling, among other Hollywood hunks, since her divorce last year from Tao Ruspoli. She sincerely hopes someone else out there is right for her. “You fall in love again,” the actress says. “Oh God, to think that you only fall in love once in your entire life is such a depressing thought.”

Lady Gaga Makes Twitter History With 20 Million Followers

The Mother Monster herself, Lady Gaga, has become the first person to attract over 20 million followers on Twitter, breaking the barrier over the weekend. Gaga, 25, has held the title of most followed Twitter user since August 2010, when she surpassed Britney Spears, whose 13.5 million followers are still Top 10. While Spears and most celebs like Kim Kardashian primarily have their manager(s) handle Twitter duties, Gaga has claimed to personally maintain her account. She regularly uses it to interact with her fans, share original pictures and make major announcements, no doubt contributing to her “Queen of Twitter” status. Interestingly, the five most-followed people on Twitter are all musicians, led by Gaga (20 million), Justin Bieber (18 million) and Katy Perry (15.7 million). Gaga’s Twitter growth rate is larger than Bieber’s, too. Shakira (14.5 million) and Rihanna (14.4 million) are fourth and fifth, with Spears not far behind. [Photo: WENN.com]

Whitney Houston Coroner Under Siege from Alleged Relatives, Prompted to Open Murder Investigation

There is no evidence that any foul play was at work in the death of Whitney Houston. But that did not stop Nancy Grace from speculating about whether someone played a role in her passing , and a new report claims it isn’t stopping unidentified callers from pressing the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office from opening up a murder investigation. Sources tell TMZ that several individuals – alleging to be relatives of either Houston or Bobby Brown – have contacted the office under the belief that the artist was murdered. One even claimed to possess evidence that proved this theory, while another blamed a fellow relative for the homicide. There’s been no verification of identities and still no proof exists that points to anything but an overdose on pain medication and alcohol. The official cause of death will be determined when toxicology results are in.

Courtney Robertson: OWNED on The Bachelor Women Tell All Special

It’s normally a chance for the rejected bachelorettes to confront the man that sent them packing, but it was primarily Courtney Robertson in the hot seat and under fire on The Bachelor: Women Tell All episode Monday night. The women wasted no time in criticizing Robertson, calling her a villain, a phony, a grouch, a two-faced fame-seeker and pretty much an awful human being overall. And that was all before she even took the stage! Then it got worse: Courtney Robertson on The Women Tell All Not only was Courtney slammed – politely but forcefully – by third and fourth place finishers Nicki Sterling and Kacie Boguskie (probably the two nicest people ever), her former rival Emily O’Brien absolutely owned her ass Monday. Crocodile tears or not, Courtney was definitely crying up there. Surprisingly (or not, for a master manipulator), she chose to apologize, saying, “I’m sorry. I take it all back. Looking back, I’m really sorry I hurt all of your feelings.” “You may say it’s not genuine but it is,” she said. Mmm hmm. The Bachelor himself, Ben Flajnik, was only featured at the very end, starting off his not-even-10-minute segment by saying “welcome to my nightmare.” Doesn’t exactly bode well for his chances with Courtney, or Lindzi. Whoever Ben picks on the season finale next week (see our Bachelor spoilers page for more info on that oft-discussed topic), he’s not looking too pleased with life now. You tell us: Courtney Robertson on The Bachelor …

Nicki Sterling: Not Over Ben Flajnik, Still Slamming Courtney Robertson

Nicki Sterling was sent home to Texas after falling in love on The Bachelor. While Lindzi Cox and Courtney Robertson made it to the finale, Nicki and Kacie Boguskie were given the pink slip despite strong connections with Ben Flajnik. The 26-year-old dental hygienist says she’s “still in the process of getting over it,” and has plenty to say about skinny-dipping, her elimination and the final two. Excerpts from Nicki Sterling ‘s recent interview with People below: On not getting a rose : “I was blindsided. Each time we were together, I felt more confident. It’s hard to say who I thought was going home, [but not] me.” On what went wrong : “Hearing him refer to me as the “dark horse” let me know he enjoyed my company but didn’t have a strong connection until the end.” On Chris Harrison calling their relationship “immature” : “I love Chris but I don’t agree. Our relationship was mature. We talked about important things.” “We had deep talks. I wasn’t one to beg for reassurance. I tried to make our moments both meaningful and playful. Those two things are important in a relationship.” On getting closure : “I heard what I needed to get closure. I didn’t need to hear nice things. I’m a firm believer that everything in life happens for a reason.” On her family’s response : “They’d have loved for it to work. They enjoyed the time spent with him. They wouldn’t have given their blessing if they didn’t.” On seeing Ben skinny dip with Courtney Robertson : “It stung a lot to see that knowing that was the same week we had our first real moments together.” “I wish he would have said, ‘Not a good idea. The girls will be upset.’ But he’s a 29-year-old guy being seduced by one of the most attractive women on earth.” “I can’t fault him in the moment. He’s a great person. I would never say a bad word. She worked her magic. I don’t know any guys who would have done anything differently.” On if she’s over Ben : “Not completely. It’s hard to fall for somebody that doesn’t fall back. The idea of dating hasn’t crossed my mind since I left Switzerland.” On badmouthing Courtney to Ben : “I don’t regret warning him in the least. If he ended up hurt and I hadn’t said something, I’d somehow take the blame.” “I don’t believe her tears. It looks as if she realized her chance of winning might be hindered by how she treated other people so she started to backpedal.” “The Courtney that I got to know wasn’t sincere in that manner. I don’t see how [Ben] could watch the season and not be extremely upset and disappointed.” On who Ben should choose on the March 12 finale : “I see him with Lindzi Cox more. She’s very laid back, easygoing. Their senses of humor are very compatible. She was there for him, was open and honest and I could see it lasting.” Who do you think he should pick?

Ben Flajnik on Kacie Boguskie Ouster: Tough Call!

Ben Flajnik sent fan favorite Kacie Boguskie packing on Monday’s hometown dates episode of The Bachelor, the third-to-last installment of the ABC show’s season. In a surprise, Courtney Robertson, Nicki Sterling and Lindzi Cox all moved on (see The Bachelor spoilers for scoop on the next two weeks) while Kacie was left in tears. In his weekly blog on People , Ben reflects on his travels to Clarksville, Tenn., Kacie’s hometown, and the turning point when the romance began to go downhill fast. The Bachelor: Week 8 Rose Ceremony, Week 9 Promo “The day portion of our date went swimmingly as usual, but as Kacie started to talk about her dad, I got nervous,” Ben writes. “I started to think he wouldn’t approve of me being so different than a man he would normally want his daughter to date.” “The evening was difficult for me. Kacie’s family was really nice and welcoming, but every time I had a conversation with one of her family members, I felt like I was disappointing them. Kacie was raised with more traditional values than I was.” “I felt like that would get between us in regards to her family. I thought about it so much that it started getting in the way of my feelings growing stronger for her.” “It was disheartening. Parents’ approval and permission is really important to me and I didn’t feel like I got that from her family, though they were kind and warm.” “This was the most difficult rose ceremony to date. It is so clich

The Bachelor Promo: Ben Meets the Parents

Ben Flajnik goes on his hometown dates next week on The Bachelor. Kacie Boguskie, Nicki Sterling, Lindzi Cox and black widow Courtney Robertson have won the chance to bring a smiling Ben back to their hometowns. For hometown dates! The show uses that word almost as much as the inaccurate “Ben and I’s relationship.” Why? We have no idea, but that’s what they’re called, all the time, and Flajnik is going to be put through the ringer by the ladies’ respective parents. Whose folks have reservations? Whose are most receptive? Who will advance to the final three? Watch the promo (around the 7:00 mark) in the clip below: The Bachelor Hometown Dates Promo

Ben Flajnik and Bachelor Fiancee: It’s Already Over?

Ben Flajnik may have gotten engaged on The Bachelor season finale, but it’s already over, according to a new tabloid report. Read on for the alleged details. If The Bachelor spoilers regarding the winner of this season are true, that’s not entirely shocking. Follow the link to see who his fiancee reportedly is/was. “They’ve totally cooled off,” a source tells Life & Style magazine. “They often go five to six days without talking. He doesn’t call her, he doesn’t text.” “She keeps saying, ‘What kind of a fiance is this?’” Ben isn’t acting like he’s engaged, either. According to the report , in January, Ben flirted with a bunch of girls attending the Sundance Film Festival. “I saw him give his number to a brunette at a party, and it definitely looked like they said, ‘See you later’ when she left,” a source says. “Ben was so flirty.” On February 2, he told a girl she should never partake in a reality dating show. Never a positive sign, but then again, have you seen this season?! Then, on February 4 in NYC, someone spotted Ben Flajnik flirting with a girl on the street … and allegedly quasi-spilled the beans about his relationship. “He got her contact info and was even joking that he can’t kiss anyone or hook up with anyone until March, when the finale airs,” says the onlooker. So basically, if this intel is accurate, he’s had a total change of heart and is running out the clock. Wonder if his perception changed since watching her on TV. Ben may dump his fiancee – it’s either Kacie Boguskie, Nicki Sterling, Lindzi Cox or the black widow, Courtney Robertson – soon, the magazine says. “She knows he’s running around New York with other girls and he’s over her; he’s not even calling her,” says a source. “She thinks he’s a coward.” “She just wishes he’d end it already – otherwise maybe she’ll do it herself.” Set your watch for an hour after the After the Final Rose special …
