Liam Hemsworth has been impressively silent when it comes to his relationship with Miley Cyrus. The two rekindled their relationship around the new year, but neither party has spoken publicly about it. Now, in an interview with GQ Australia , Liam opens up a little and confirms he and Miley are very much back on, confessing that she makes him happy. “I guess when I feel something, then I just feel it and I go for it,” Hemsworth said, speaking about their relationship. “I make my decisions about what’s going to make me happy, what I think is right and what I want to do — and I don’t worry too much outside of that,” he continued. While the Hunger Games actor does not specifically reveal their exact relationship status, he hinted that fans already knew. “People will figure it out, they already have,” he said. “They’re not dumb.” What the WHAT?! What does he mean we’ve figured it out? In the past few months, we’ve heard rumors of an engagement, a pregnancy, cheating by both parties, breakups and even a secret, unofficial beach wedding in which they exchanged palm fronds for rings. Is he saying it’s all true? You’re killing us, Liam. The most prevalent rumor as of now is that the two are engaged to be married and are preparing to wed sometime this year in Liam’s native Australia. We’ve also received reports that Miley is pregnant and planning a shotgun wedding , but we’re going to go out on a limb and say that’s probably false. But you never know, and Liam hasn’t denied it.

Ever since January, we pretty much knew that Miley Cyrus had rekindled her relationship with Liam Hemsworth, we just didn't have photographic evidence. But now we do! Miley and Liam were spotted out on a date at West Hollywood vegan hotspot Gracias Madre, and sources told ET the singer appeared “happy and relaxed.” The couple were joined by Liam's brothers Chris and Luke, along with Luke's wife, Samantha. This is the first time the former fiances were captured on camera together since they ended their engagement in 2013. At the beginning of the year, eyewitnesses reported seeing the actor and the “Wrecking Ball” singer “cuddling and kissing” at the Falls Music Festival in Australia while hanging out with Liam's family. Since that moment, tabloids have been brimming with reports that the two were moving in together and even secretly got married . Last month, a rumor surfaced that Liam dumped Miley after he caught her sending naked selfies to her ex, Victoria's Secret model Stella Maxwell, but not surprisingly, that was just a bunch of hooey. Neither star have spoken publicly on their romance reboot, but showing up at a hip LA restaurant together where they know paparazzi might be hiding in the bushes is a fairly solid confirmation.
It’s official and it’s officially adorable: Justin Bieber is back together with Selena Gomez!!!!!!!!! According to E! News, the singer admitted his current romantic status with Selena while being questioned yesterday by attorney Mark DiCowden. The lawyer was deposing the singer for the second time in relation to a lawsuit filed against Bieber by a photographer who claims he was assaulted. The first deposition, of course, took place in March and resulted in responses and antics establishing that Justin Bieber is an arrogant a–hole . Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Pictures: Young, Star-Crossed Love 1. Justin Bieber With Selena Gomez Photo Justin Bieber loves him some Selena Gomez. Just see these pics from happier times and you’ll know it.

So he had to mean it! Bieber and Gomez have been spending a lot of time together over the past several weeks, though neither side has spoken publicly about their rekindles love. The other day, however, they were spotted holding hands during a trip to his native Ontario, while these Jelena selfies speak for themselves. Not that they have to anymore, though, apparently.

Kim Kardashian has changed her name to Kim Kardashian West . Her screen name, that is. The reality star has added the last name of husband Kanye West to her Twitter account and her Instagram page, which, granted, is a mighty big move for this online maven. But an insider confirms to Radar Online that Kim won’t be making the biggest move of all: she’ll legally remain Kim Kardashian forever… because her mother wouldn’t have it any other way. Say Hello to Kim Kardashian West! “There is no way Kris would ever give her blessing for the main cash cow of the Kardashian empire to not continue to use that name professionally,” a source says, adding that Jenner will “fight tooth and nail” if Kim resists this demand. It makes sense, really. The family probably still gets royalties off the Kim Kardashian sex tape and Kris doesn’t want to confuse those who search for her naked, spread eagle daughter in the future. This insider even jokes that Kris would try to convince Kanye to change his last name to Kardashian if she thought it were possible. Just think of how that would help the TV/perfume/clothing/sex tape/diet pill/whatever-is-offered-to-them-for-the-right-price empire! Kim and Kanye, of course, got married in Florence last Saturday. They then took off for a honeymoon in Ireland and no family members have really spoken publicly about the affair since. Because this Kim Kardashian wedding report – which details the embarrassing chaos that was the entire ridiculous affair – has left them humiliated? Or because they are saving all quotes for a well-paying tabloid exclusive? We’ll let you decide on the answer as you click through some Kimye wedding pictures: Kim Kardashian Wedding Photos 1.

Three weeks ago, 257 young girls were kidnapped from their school in eastern Nigeria. Since then, thousands of Twitter followers have joined the campaign to have the girls safely returned to their homes, making the hashtag “BringBackOurGirls a worldwide trending topic. Now the movement has its most powerful follower to date, as Michelle Obama has joined the fight. The First Lady tweeted the above photo recently, along with the caption, “Our prayers are with the missing Nigerian girls and their families.” Michelle Obama joined Instagram last year and has spoken publicly about the important role played by social media in activist and grass roots political campaigns. Fittingly, Obama’s first post to the popular photo-sharing site was a photo of herself and her daughters joined by a group of young women from a small African school. Other celebrities including Kendall Jenner, Ashton Kutcher and Justin Timberlake have announced their support for #BringBackOurGirls and its parallel movement #RealMenDontBuyGirls. The situation in Nigeria has made global headlines in the weeks since the kidnapping, with the world watching in horror as the girls’ captors publicly announced their intention to sell them into sex slavery. In addition to the Twitter campaign, activists have been organizing worldwide protests in hopes of spurring world leaders to action.
The course of equal opportunity raunchy comedy never did run smooth. Like Bridesmaids , Bachelorette is a foray into proving that ladies are capable of wielding gross-out humor just as ably as the gentlemen, with the obvious comparison piece being Todd Phillips’ The Hangover . Written and directed by first-timer Leslye Headland (who previously worked as a writer on Terriers ) and produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, Bachelorette sends its trio of dysfunctional bridesmaids into all kinds of night-before-the-wedding misbehavior, including cocaine use, falling-down drunkenness, physical altercations, promiscuity, theft and general nastiness. But then, as if afraid that all of this misdeeds will drive the audience away, the film tries to add a last minute portion of heart, explaining away the actions of its three main characters as the result of damage and pairing them all up with guys to get them through to an at least temporary happy ending. Sometimes funny, sometimes shrill and wildly uneven, Bachelorette demonstrates film and television’s continuing struggle to provide a platform for funny women in the realms of R-rated comedy and the tug-of-war between the desire to push boundaries and fears about likability, about female characters still needing to be warm and pretty and matched up with someone romantically. Interestingly enough, the plot is based around the nuptials of a side character who doesn’t fit in any typical category — Becky (Australian actress Rebel Wilson) was the chubby sidekick of the “B-Faces” in high school, the one the other three held in mild, veiled contempt. Now happy, settled and about to marry a good-looking, stable guy, Becky’s unknowingly twisting the knife by asking her shocked friends (not one of whom is doing as well as she’d like in her early 30s) to be in her wedding party. Bachelorette feels at the start like it’s a version of Muriel’s Wedding that sides with the main characters mean frenemies instead of its unlikely heroine. Becky isn’t a major source of mockery, but she’s blissfully oblivious to how queen bee Regan (Kirsten Dunst), trampy Gene (Lizzy Caplan) and ditzy Katie (Isla Fisher) actually feel about the event in which they’ve promised to participate. The tightly wound Regan has a boyfriend in med school who won’t commit and a volunteer job she likes to talk about in which she reads to kids with cancer. Gene downs whatever drugs she can find and regularly wakes up in bed with strangers, while Katie can barely hold down her job in retail. The three seemed a little stunned that life has not delivered on the promise and popularity they showed in high school, and that happiness has eluded them while finding the one in their group they’ve deemed least worthy. Bachelorette seems uncertain as to what we’re supposed to think of Regan, Gene and Katie. The way they act in the outset, with Regan calling the other two to bitch about how she was obviously the one who was supposed to get married first, Gene monologuing about her blowjob technique to taunt a stranger on the plane and Katie failing to recognize Joe (Kyle Bornheimer), the guy who used to let her copy his homework (“I took French?” she exclaims in shock when he tells her) marks them as fairly awful. But the film seems exhilarated by their disastrousness, eager to shoo Becky out of the room after Gene makes a failed joke about the bride’s eating disorder and Katie orders a stripper who calls her by her old nickname of “Pig Face,” so that the three can get down to some serious drug use and then tear her wedding dress trying to fit two people inside it. These are inarguably mean girls, to the point where it’s difficult to invest their attempts to try to fix the gown in an all-night odyssey that takes them around the city and into an intersecting path with the groomsmen (led by a smarmy James Marsden as Trevor). But the film’s need to then turn around and soften them feels disappointingly like an excuse — see, they also hate themselves and think about suicide and are mournful over past abortions! These developments don’t humanize the characters, they apologize for them. Gene’s storyline in particular, in which she reunites with the high school boyfriend (Adam Scott, Caplan’s old “Party Down” romantic interest) who broke her heart, feels lurching and abrupt considering the depth of emotion it suddenly reaches for, a pity considering how smart and appealing the two actors are, both together and apart. There’s something to admire in Bachelorette ‘s initial flag-planting outrageousness, even if it goes too far and then sheepishly pulls back to a more conventional conclusion. Its contentment with acting out as a joke unto itself means it’s not often as funny as it needs to be, though it sets up and lands a few vicious punchlines — Regan’s triumphantly saving the day late in the film with her bulimia-perfected vomit-inducing technique is a dark joke indeed. But the film would be far more provocative if it let go of the need to always try to shock with content and tried to do so with form instead, and rather than solving its characters just let them be unabashedly imperfect.

James Franco may be Hollywood’s most accomplished, out there polyglot , but one former professor isn’t too happy with how the Oscar nominee has spoken publicly of his time as a film student at NYU. José Angel Santana, who was fired in 2011, filed a lawsuit against the actor for calling him “awful” and a “bad teacher” while doing the press rounds for The Broken Tower . “Whoever was in Clint Eastwood’s chair at the Republican National Convention was more present than Mr. Franco was in my classes,” Santana told the NY Post . Oh snap did he just make a Clint RNC chair joke?? I mean, Franco only missed 12 out of 14 classes. Did that really warrant a “D” grade? (Eh, it probably deserved an “F.” Then again I’m no college professor. OH, BUT GUESS WHO IS ? ) Franco supposedly skipped out on Santana’s classes to go give an Academy Award-nominated performance in 127 Hours for Danny Boyle, so I guess that worked out pretty well for him. Stay tuned to see how this one pans out… [ NY Post ]
Rapper tells Us Weekly , ‘Come on now, that doesn’t even sound like me.’ By Gil Kaufman Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Photo: Eric Ryan/ Getty Images Kanye West has said and done a lot of crazy things over the years.

‘Voice’ coaches recording track for Aguilera’s upcoming album. By John Mitchell Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Photo: Gregg DeGuire/ Getty Images We already know Christina Aguilera is hard at work on her upcoming album, and now we have confirmation that at least one of her fellow “The Voice” coaches will appear on the still-untitled set, due out later this year. Talking to Billboard , Cee Lo Green revealed that he is working on a track with Aguilera, but declined to give much information about the song itself — other than it is happening and it is at least partly recorded. “It’s a song for her album. I won’t disclose the title, because it could possibly be a working title,” Green said. “We’ve talked about it amongst ourselves, and I’m gonna go in on it and work it out. It’ll be the second song we’ve done.” The first song they recorded together was the demo “Nasty,” which was recorded for but ultimately not included on the soundtrack to Aguilera’s film “Burlesque.” “I just gotta get in there and … splash,” Green continued, implying that Aguilera already recorded her vocal for the unnamed track. After a recent “Voice” taping, Aguilera told the show’s social-media correspondent Christina Milian that she has been hitting the studio in whatever free time she can find in her busy schedule with the TV hit. “I started [the album] whenever I started this show, and then [the show] kind of took off into this big thing,” Aguilera explained. “So, the show used to be a side project and kind of turned into a bigger time-fulfilling, dedicated project for me.” The pop star, who appeared on Maroon 5’s #1 hit “Moves Like Jagger” last year, is working with a variety of producers and songwriters on the effort. “It’s just filled with fun and excitement, and it’s gonna come out later this year,” Aguilera added. “I’m very, very excited to share it with my fans, finally.” Who would you like to hear Christina collaborate with on her new album?

Pop star’s post-workout tweet criticized by eating-disorder association. By John Mitchell Lady Gaga Photo: Jason Kempin/ Getty Images What was clearly intended as a jokey tweet lamenting the rigorous diet and exercise routine she is currently undertaking to prepare for her 110-date Born This Way Ball has put Lady Gaga in the crosshairs of some angry fans and eating-disorder organizations. On Tuesday, the pop star tweeted , “Just killed back to back spin classes. Eating a salad dreaming of a cheeseburger #PopSingersDontEat #IWasBornThisWay.” Some fans thought the tweet wasn’t exactly keeping with the pop star’s “You’re perfect the way you are” message and that her choice of the “#PopStarsDontEat” hashtag could be misinterpreted as encouraging eating disorders because she posits herself as a role model to her fans. The National Eating Disorder Association even weighed in, hitting its own Twitter account to write, “Huh? This is the same person who recently implored girls to stop dieting?” While it seems clear that Gaga was joking — who hasn’t dove into a salad wishing it was something else? — the comment does appear out of character for the star, who has spoken publicly about her own struggles with an eating disorder as a teen. Using that particular hashtag might have been a poor choice, but it’s safe to say Lady Gaga wasn’t knowingly making light of eating disorders — and, otherwise, wasn’t she mostly just encouraging exercise and healthy eating? Gaga tweets often about all sort of less-than-healthful habits, from drinking (“after 12 margaritas my phone was confiscated”) to, well, other things (“princess xena of xanaxland has lil secrets in her inbox”). Why she is being scrutinized for making an observation about something we already know — that celebrities engage in intense fitness regimens to meet the unrealistic expectations placed on their appearance — is kind of a mystery. But, you know, totally appropriate and necessary reason for outrage, everyone. Sound off on Gaga’s #PopSingersDontEat tweet in the comments below! Related Artists Lady Gaga
