In sad news today, Sinead O’Connor and Barry Herridge are getting divorced. If it seems like they just got married , it’s because they did. On December 9! It was a great 18-day run for the couple. To put that in perspective, Kim Kardashian ‘s marriage to Kris Humphries lasted four times longer than these two. Why the change of heart, Sinead? The singer explained on her website: “Dear friends, I had for reasons u (sic) will all understand, wished to keep this private but have been told today it is to be leaked in the next few days despite my best efforts … So I must now leak it myself so as the record is straight.” “Within 3 hours of the ceremony being over the marriage was kyboshed by the behaviour of certain people in my husband’s life. And also by a bit of a wild ride I took us on looking for a bit of a smoke of weed for me (sic) wedding night as I don’t drink.” “My husband was enormously wounded and very badly effected (sic) by that experience and also by the attitude of those close to him toward our marriage.” “It became apparent to me that if he were to stay with me he would be losing too much to bear… A woman wants to be a joy to her husband.” “So… U (sic) love someone? Set them free.” Words to live by, people. Words to live by. [Photo: WENN.com]
Selena Gomez has spoken out for the first time since a family tragedy. A week after her mother’s miscarriage went public, Gomez posted the following message on her Facebook page last night: “Belated Merry Christmas everybody.. I can’t thank you enough for all of your thoughts and prayers. We appreciate every one of you.. I love you all so much and we hope you and your family had a beautiful Christmas! Love, Me, Momma, Brian and our guardian angel Scarlett.” Our thoughts go out to Selena and her family. It’s little comfort in this time of sorrow, but Gomez did crack our top 10 celebrities of 2011 list. She sits at number eight . [Photo: WENN.com]
Ouch! That’s gotta hurt. Mel Gibson is probably somewhere in Hollyweird cussing up a storm right now, because his divorce is final, but his bank account is now considerably lighter. According to PEOPLE reports : Mel Gibson is now legally single after his divorce was finalized Friday in a Los Angeles courtroom, but bachelorhood came at a heavy price. Robyn, his ex-wife of nearly 30 years and the mother of their seven children, is walking away with half his fortune, once estimated to be as high as $850 million (according to the Los Angeles Business Journal in 2006) in what is considered the biggest divorce payout in Hollywood history. Because the couple didn’t have a prenuptial agreement, Robyn, 55, was legally entitled to half of everything he earned during their marriage. Among Gibson’s estimated assets: more than $600 million grossed by The Passion of the Christ alone; $100-plus million in real estate investments worldwide (he bought an island in Fiji for $15 million in 2005); and $75 million for film and TV projects for which Gibson, 55, executive produced. It appears some of his wealth has already been transferred to Robyn, in particular two Malibu homes worth a combined $22.5 million. As for film residuals, Robyn is entitled to half of every future check Gibson receives for the rest of his life. “I left my wife because we had no spiritual common ground,” Gibson told his then-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva in secretly recorded tapes she made of the actor in February 2010. During his custody battle with Grigorieva, in which the Russian musician accused Gibson of domestic violence, Robyn filed a sworn statement in July 2010 stating that “Mel was a wonderful and loving father” and never abused Robyn or their kids. Gibson met Robyn, at the time a dental nurse, in the late 1970s after the American-born actor, who moved to Australia when he was 12, had filmed his breakout role in Mad Max. Congratulations Robyn… and Mel on being free from your cash and lack of spiritual ground. More On Bossip! Silver Spoon Swag: Stars That Were Born Rich Already!

On this episode of “Braxton Family Values”, we get to see Tamar’s first recording session with Harvey. After searching for a song that she thinks will be right for her, she stumbles across a track with Lil Wayne rapping on it and decides that BOOM! this was the right track for her. Tamar calls her sound something like “hood rat pop” and doesn’t want any of that “Jersey Shore fist pumping music”. I’m sure you catch my drift, right? She knows that her hubby Vince isn’t going to be pleased with her song selection, but she’s hopeful that he will make her the “happiest princess in the pond” and let her do her own thing when it comes to her record. I ain’t mad at ya, Tamar! Meanwhile in LA, Toni calls an emergency meeting for her whole family, including her mother and father, because she has a huge announcement to make. The other girls are a little worried considering the urgency of Toni’s meeting and the fact that Towanda know’s Toni’s big announcement and is not spilling the beans to the rest of the girls. During Toni’s big meeting, she reveals that she has to have surgery- the next day! The girls are a little shaken up, shocked and scared at Toni’s news, but she assures them that she’ll be just fine. When the day comes for Toni’s big surgery, she has her whole family by her side, including her ex husband, Kerri. She comes through her surgery successfully, and although the girls are happy that Toni is alright, they are more focused on the fact that their mother and father are actually getting along during this time! Say what! Papa Braxton jokes that the girls though he and his ex-wife went on a date when they went to the cafeteria in the hospital together. But it is great to see them two getting along great especially considering what happened during their last face to face meeting.. Back in Atlanta, Towanda’s husband, Andre, has finally finished his book and is preparing for a book signing. Towanda was unsure if she would be able to attend the book signing because of the issues Toni was having with her surgery, but luckily she showed up to the book signing and was very proud of him for his efforts. But let’s be real, Andre still aint got no job. What did you think about this week’s episode?

My name’s Stephanie and I’m 17. My experience has to do with Massey Hall and the Home for the Holidays concert. It all started when Justin first tweeted he was coming home. Muchmusic announced the concert but didn’t reveal the location. I entered every contest I could find and ended up finding out where and when the “secret” concert would be by reading the rules and regulations to the contests. The day the tickets went on sale, I was waiting on the website for about 6 hours. At 3:58 they went on sale, the site crashed and by the time I got back in it was 4:04 and the tickets were SOLD OUT. I couldn’t believe it, the one time I had money to see Justin I couldn’t. Immediatley after I went on kijiji and saw tickets posted for $600 each, mind you these tickets were $75 max and for CHARITY. Over the next few days I entered many contests, called every radio and did everything I could. Two days before the concert I got a call from MuchMusic saying I had wristbands to the next days show for a chance to win tickets. I was so excited. I got two hours of sleep that night and left at 10am for an hour long train ride. I stood outside Much from 11:30am-4pm. During that time I met a few girls, one who was so dedicated she had slept at the train station to try to get into much WITHOUT a wristband. I also met another girl named Selena (@bieberspack). They picked random names and them did a competition . I didn’t get chosen b ut that wasn’t going to stop me. In tears I took the train home and promised the girls I had met there that I would be at Massey Hall to try to get tickets. That night Selena and I had plans to go there right after school, she wasn’t aloud to skip another day and it was too dangerous for me to travel by myself. That day I had found someone with 2 tickets selling each for $250, we had plans to meet them there. Once we got there, we saw two girls screaming running out of the venue saying they got floor seats. It turns out Massey Hall had some extras. There was a huge line from people who had been there since 8am waiting for a chance to find tickets. Around the corner of the building was security and gates flooded with people around them, I asked what was going on and people said they were waiting for Justin to arrive. I told Selena to come out of the other line and come see if we could see Justin. About 5 minutes after waiting, Scooter walks pasts us and says sorry I can’t stay and goes into the venue. About half hour later he comes out and goes the the opposite side of the group of people I was in. I’m screaming to Selena, “OH MY GOD HE’S GIVING THEM TICKETS OMG”. Everyone was screaming his name, then out comes Scrappy. I started screaming his name and the girls in front of me ask, “Who’s that?” I just stared and ignored them (they got free tickets btw…..) Then out comes Allison . Selena and I screamed her name as she walks toward us, she asked, “Who doesn’t have tickets”. Everyone was screaming, all I could do was cry and say, “Allison, I don’t I don’t”. I saw her give one to Selena and she turned to the next person beside her, Selena reached out and said, “My friend my friend” and she said, “Is she here?” and I said, “Yeah I’m here!”. I couldn’t see if she had given her another one, Selena turns around crying and I said, “DID YOU GET TWO?” and says yes and we both dropped to the ground crying. Everyone was pushing us saying, “Ok you got tickets go go go”. So we crossed the street to wait for Justin to come back. He pulled up about 20 minutes later. We ran to the gate and he quickly went inside hold Jazzy, signing no autographs, but that was fine with me. I was so blessed to have goten a ticket. In all I saw Jermey, Scooter, Justin, Jazzy, Fredo, Chaz, Scrappy and Kenny. I also sat infront of two of his co-writers who told me what they had in store for Justin’s future sound and how we felt about a more mature Justin. Behind us was the guy from Never Say Never, Nathan, who’s Patties friend from when she was a teen. The concert was amazing, we had 2nd row balcony of a 2500 people venue, so we were still very close. Justin was so personal with us, took requests, brought Jazzy on stage and told stories. A few memorable moments was when he was thanking Dan and he said after “Enough of this mushy stuff, I’m a man, I’m a 40 year old a man living at home- inside joke”. Every Belieber knows what he was referring to. He said he wanted the concert to be like a family sitting around the campfire and I can honestly say it was so intimate. You just had to be there, there was so many moments where I cried and cried. Sorry, I’m still in shock. It was the best night of my life and I’m so grateful. I’ve never truly meant this until now but #NEVERSAYNEVER. -@stefanimunoz Read more: My name’s Stephanie and I’m 17. My experience has to…
In the decade or so since Nick Frost first made a name for himself on the BBC comedy series Spaced , much has happened. For starters, he’s not waiting tables at that Mexican restaurant. He’s moved with ease from television to film, most famously in genre riffs Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz (with Spaced comrades Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg ), and in the alien geek ode Paul (which he co-wrote and stars in with Pegg). Also notably, Frost has ventured out from the fold in films like Pirate Radio and the forthcoming Snow White and the Huntsman . And, with this week’s The Adventures of Tintin , he notches another milestone: Working with his hero, Steven . Steven Spielberg . Frost, Wright, and Pegg may be stretching their wings a bit after coming to prominence as “The Guys Who Made Spaced / Shaun of the Dead / Hot Fuzz /Etc.” but they all come together, with buddy Joe Cornish (whose directing debut, this year’s Attack the Block , features Frost as a dope dealer), in Spielberg’s motion-capture adventure adaptation Tintin — Wright and Cornish scripting, with Pegg and Frost as the comically bumbling Scotland Yard detectives Thomson and Thompson. Movieline spoke with Pegg in New York about his ten years since Spaced , maintaining the Wright-Pegg “unit” while establishing himself as his own entity, his directorial aspirations, working on the upcoming Snow White and the Huntsman , completing the “Blood and Ice Cream” trilogy, how he really feels about Indiana Jones 4 , and why he missed his first phone call from Spielberg for a very, very good reason. You, along with Simon, got to do a riff on Star Wars , he’s in Star Trek , and now you’re working with Spielberg… What was the riff on Star Wars — the College Humor thing we did? Yes, in which you betrayed a deep, deep knowledge of the Star Wars universe. I was quite impressed with my sad droid noise. Do you want me to do it for you? Please! [Makes mewling R2-D2 noise] It’s so evocative. Yeah, it is! It’s just one little noise and you think, he’s crying! He’s sad . That’s what that noise says. So what remains to cross off of your geek bucket list? I don’t know, what have we had — zombies… have there been any ghosts? Aliens, we’ve had a space ship. I don’t know, I think I’d like to do lots and lots of things but I’m not necessarily going to glue myself to the genre side of it. I think it’d be quite daft to do that. I think it’s possible to have your cake and eat it, and we’ve been very lucky that we have been allowed to do what we want. And now, because of that, we are able to branch out — Simon doing Mission: Impossible , Edgar doing Scott Pilgrim , and this… We’re pretty lucky. Looking back, it has been about 10 years since the end of Spaced , and the three of you have come so far since then. Yeah, right? I was just saying, it was like 10 years ago I was serving shitty food to fucking horrible businessmen in a Mexican restaurant… Wait — during Spaced ? Yeah, after the first series I went back to work there. That was quite odd. Sometimes people would ask for the bill and then say, “Are you Mike from Spaced ?” [Hangs head] “Yes… yes, I am.” Ten years is the kind of milestone that makes you look back and reflect, isn’t it? Yes — I read something in the Times a few months ago that 10 years, or 10,000 hours, is what you need to master anything. An instrument, a language, to become a good dentist… Anything you want to do, you can learn to be great at it in 10 years, or 10,000 hours. What would you say you’ve learned in the last decade? You know what, I watch a lot. I watch what everyone does, and I’m interested in what everyone does on a set. I didn’t train as an actor so I think it would be quite stupid of me to just act, you know? I want to direct a film, films , I want to produce. Me and Simon have always said this is about the long game. This is it now, forever — this is my job. This is what I love doing. So I think it’s silly just to sit around and wait for the phone to ring, for someone to offer you a part. I might as well write it myself and shoot it myself. And you have all thrived in the arena of creating opportunities for yourself, it seems. Yeah, but that can be a double-edged sword actually, because people can also look at that and the unit that we are a part of and say, “Well, that’s all they do.” So people will not offer you things because they think you wouldn’t do it because you just hang out in this kind of unit. You think this happens to you because of the Spaced gang? Absolutely, I do. You do have this very close partnership, which people know you for, but you must also need to define yourselves separately. And that’s what it seems like you, Simon, and Edgar are all doing right now. Absolutely. And there’s no time limit on it. As long as we’re happy and working, you can go on forever in this job. Edgar and Joe [Cornish] wrote this, but how exactly did you and Simon come to be cast in Tintin ? Simon met with Steven — Spielberg … Ah, yes. That Steven. [Smiles] I’ve been doing that a lot in the past few weeks, just in case people didn’t know that I’ve been working with Steven Spielberg … [Laughs] I think Simon had a meeting with Steven, potentially to see if he would come onboard with Edgar and Joe, after Steven did his draft, to see if maybe he wanted to have a little go at the script. But that just didn’t work out, and then I think Steven said to Simon, “Do you want to be in it?” Simon did a little fanboy squeal, and shut his legs as if he was going to do a wee, and then I think Steven said to him, “Well, do you know anyone that you work with, well, that you’d want?” That guy wasn’t available, so he came to me. That was that! No hesitation, I assume, in taking the job? For me? No! Not at all! Well, his office rang me up one night, one evening. It was like 9 o’clock at night. They said, “Steven’s going to ring you in 10 minutes if you could be available,” but I was cooking my wife’s dinner. She wasn’t in, I was cooking her a meal. And it got to a really crucial point in the preparation which meant I could not answer that phone call without ruining my wife’s dinner. So I dropped it — I dropped the call! How romantic! [Laughs] It was a really confused message from Steven saying, “Um… hey, Nick. Did my office phone you? Anyway, give me a call back.” I phoned the office back and he’d gone to a meeting and I was thinking, “I’ve really fucked this up.” But eventually we got to talk to one another and, you know, we did it. I was so pleased! He’s a hero, he’s an icon of mine in terms of filmmaking, and a lot of my cinematic touchstones are films that he’s made. That said, you can’t bring that with you on set. I think me and Simon allowed ourselves like two hours of fanboy dancing, and then… Then you put on your professional hat. Yeah, absolutely. That said, sometimes we’d be sitting around the monitor and Steven would be telling a story about how they shot something in Close Encounters and I’d kind of nudge Simon under the table, and we knew that both of us were thinking, “This is fucking amazing ” When I spoke with a few of the Super 8 kids earlier this year they had pretty much the same story. Oh, cool! I watched that this morning, again. I think it’s great, I love it. It does evoke that magical something in Spielberg’s films, doesn’t it? Yeah! Well, you know, we tried to do it on Paul and J.J. did it — it’s just a big, lovely love letter to Steven. I think it says a lot about Steven’s legacy to people of J.J.’ s and my age and Simon’s age that it stayed with us, it affected us through our lives. As a self-avowed Spielberg fan, let me ask you this: How do you feel about Indiana Jones 4 ? [Takes a sip of tea] Well, you know. It’s tricky, obviously… but it’s still an Indiana Jones film. It’s still Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones! I still got that feeling when I heard the music. It’s an Indiana Jones film, you know? It’s a Steven Spielberg film. [Pauses] Yes, it’s different. It’s the same kind of things about the original Star Wars films and Phantom Menace . But that said, I am a fan of the originals. Clearly. There are generations of teenagers who prefer the new ones, and that doesn’t make them any less valid. They’re just different. If I’m trying to be democratic about things… and it’s the same with Indiana Jones 4 . I liked it. It was weird, and it was different, but it was unmistakably a Steven Spielberg film, and that’s fine with me. You just finished filming another movie. Tell me about your experience on Snow White and the Huntsman — or, as the fans call it, SWATH . SWATH ! It was great. I saw a picture of you and your fellow dwarfs in your dwarf gear and your dwarf hair . Yeah, they shaved me bald every day just to put hair on me, which was weird. It was like, well, I had hair anyway, and you shaved it all off… to then put a wig on. You’re in great company with the other seven dwarfs. What was that cast like? It was fantastic! I got to hang out with Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, Johnny Harris, Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone, for God’s sake. I got to just sit around and listen to those guys tell stories. I like the idea of Kristen Stewart , of all people, sitting in the middle of that group of men — and also the colliding of worlds, your universe and fan base overlapping with Twilight . Exactly! I was sitting next to Bob Hoskins and Bella Swan! Please tell me you and Bob Hoskins and Kristen Stewart talked Twilight on set. Not really. I think she’d be pretty sick to the bloody back teeth of listening about Twilight . On set she’s another actress, and a lot of the time actors just talk about nothing. Talk about shit, they just chew the fat. That’s what you do! And did you sign on for multiple SWATH films as well? Three, yeah. We’ll see where it goes. We were talking about it on set the other day, where it would start and what it would be. We’ll have to see how well it does, I guess. But I think we’d all love to do another one. We had a real laugh every day. Lastly, you’ve been talking about finishing the trilogy that begun with Shaun of the Dead and continued with Hot Fuzz . What’s the latest development — do you know when you might do it? We’d rather do it sooner than later. There is a script in place, and it’s just a question of finding the time when we can all fit it in, and when it works. But we are all really keen to just crack on. Next year has been bandied around, maybe, but I couldn’t tell you. Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
During this time of year, many of us spend our days counting down to the end of the year with a myriad of thoughts about what “could have been.” You know how it goes: the blaring reminders on TV, radio, and even at holiday parties that you’re single, couldn’t afford the best gifts or the pricey plane tickets to fly across country to be with family. What I’ve learned over the years is that no matter who is not there, what money we may not have, or how far away our families may be, there’s something bigger that we can always rely on to give us the love we all desire. There are many clichés about the holidays and the “real reason for the season,” but in its truest essence, God’s greatest gift to us is the unconditional love that remains available every day of the year. God’s love for us is real, tangible, and everywhere we go. He tells us in Romans 8:37-39: Yet amid all these things, we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us. For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. How great His love is for us! It surpasses all heartbreak and deficits that we have encountered throughout the year. Don’t have that special someone to shower with love and gifts? Consider showing love to those in need who aren’t as fortunate as you Money is tight and can’t give gifts? Bake some cookies or other sweets, bag them up, and share with friends and family! Can’t get home for the holidays? Use Skype to see the bright and shining faces of those you love! A shift in perspective keeps the most perfect love of all at the forefront and teaches us to lean on the blessings we have. Enjoy the holidays and feel the love from the one who sacrificed the most for us!

Behind-the-scenes clip shows singer in London with a blond bob and gold grill. By James Dinh Rihanna in her “You Da One” teaser Photo: Def Jam Even though “We Found Love” is still ruling the charts, Rihanna is gearing up for the release of her second Talk That Talk single, “You Da One,” by releasing a behind-the-scenes teaser for the Melina Matsoukas-directed clip. In the two-minute montage , the RihannaNavy get several glimpses at a blond-bobbed Rih with a fitted gold grill and a slew of outfit changes. For one of her ensembles, the pop titan dons a gold chain necklace and midriff-baring two-piece as she grinds up against a checkered wall with life-size playing cards nearby. Another scene finds the singer in a white tank top and tattered jean shorts, swinging a cane in between two brick buildings. “We’re in London town!” the chart-topper tells the cameraman while the Dr. Luke-produced track plays in the background. “We tried to shoot our first setup outside, but it started to rain really, really hard. Then it stopped after we had to switch setups. … I’m running on one hour of sleep. I’m not even going to remember this tomorrow. My eyes are burning a little bit.” Rihanna has been dropping teasers for the “You Da One” visual for some time now. Two weeks ago, she released a clip of herself getting fitted for her grill. And just a few days ago, the singer took to Twitter to share another still, which depicted the star topless, leaning back and blowing smoke into the air . “#YOUDAONEVIDEO you know im already in trouble 4 this but, i like to keep yall in the loop,” she wrote. Fans can also expect to be kept in the loop about the video for “Take Care,” Rihanna’s collabo with Drake . MTV News recently caught up with Drizzy, who shared his expectations for the video for the Jamie xx-produced song, saying, “I want to make it perfect — the best video I’ve done to date — so I’m just taking my time.” Are you excited for Rihanna’s “You Da One” video?

Band broke through to the big time in 2011 with ‘Pumped Up Kicks.’ By James Montgomery, with reporting by Matt Elias Foster the People’s Mark Foster and Cubbie Fink Photo: MTV News Foster the People were one of 2011’s biggest breakouts, first scoring a massive crossover hit with “Pumped Up Kicks,” then nabbing a pair of Grammy nominations and finally, landing current single “Don’t Stop (Color on the Walls)” in a high-profile ad campaign (and accompanying it with a really excellent video, starring Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe). So, as the year comes to a close, we asked the guys in Foster to try and sum up the past 12 months, which saw them rocket from little-known L.A. rock outfit to internationally famous buzz band. And, as you can probably expect, for a band that’s basically lived on the road in 2011, most of their milestones have to do with the size of the stages they’ve played on … and the audiences they’ve played for. “It’s funny, in January we started a residency at the Echo, which is this club in L.A., and we played every week for about a month, and that kind of kicked it off. The first week, it was half full … it only holds 300 people, I think there was like 125 people there,” frontman Mark Foster laughed. “And then cut to four months later, doing Coachella in front of 15,000 people, and then cut to three months after that, playing Lollapalooza in front of 50,000 people. It’s just been wild man, seeing the world and seeing the progression of things. … It’s crazy to think about. I feel like we have 10 years of memories packed into this one year.” While they’ll continue to tour in earnest in 2012, most of the year will be dedicated to writing and recording the follow-up to their Torches debut. Not surprisingly, Foster said the band’s new stuff has been heavily influenced by their time away from home. “We’ve gotten to write some stuff on the road so far, but haven’t really gotten to dive into it too much yet,” he said. “We’ve just been kind of throwing everything against the wall, idea-wise, like, ‘We should try this and we should try this,’ all these different boundaries to work within, because sometimes it can be really daunting I think, if you don’t have certain boundaries when writing a song. “There’s definitely musical elements that we’ve talked about — you know, really leaning on the percussive nature of what our live show has turned into this year, and bringing that more out into the second record — just kind of experimenting, doing some different, weird studio tricks; just having fun with it. But you never really know until you get under the hood, so we’ll see what happens when we start.” Are you looking forward to the next FTP album? Tell us in the comments!

This FedEx delivery guy is probably pretty embarrassed right now. Or out of a job. The shipping company is in damage control mode after one of its drivers inflicted actual damage to a (now broken) computer during a delivery. Watch his oh-so-careful methods below. Merry Christmas! FedEx Delivery FAIL “I want you to know that I was upset, embarrassed, and very sorry for our customer’s poor experience,” said Matthew Thornton, a FedEx Senior V.P. “The situation has now been resolved to the customer’s satisfaction, and we are handling the employee according to our disciplinary policies.” “We know that this behavior is an aberration and is not reflective of the outstanding FedEx customer service that makes us proud around the world.” The hilarious part is that the customer was home at the time , with the front door wide open. Ringing the bell on the gate would’ve done the job. No word on what disciplinary action will be taken against the driver.
