We established long ago, well before Tower Heist was greenlit, that sorting out the many irons in Brett Ratner’s directorial fire is something of a fool’s errand . New projects seem to come and go from the filmmaker’s slate every day, with a few priority projects like Beverly Hills Cop IV hang on for dear life (their stars’ disinterest notwithstanding). And now you can add another “dream project” to the list.
Warning: the following Fashion Face-Off may cause your computer screen to fog up. Both Stacy Keibler and Julianne Hough walked the red carpet of last night’s Hollywood Film Awards held at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California and, somehow, the path under these hotties’ feet did not catch on fire. Keibler was on hand as George Clooney’s date, while Hough was there to represent her remake of Footloose . Both looked gorgeous. But only one could look the MOST gorgeous. Vote that individual now:
Frankie Muniz and Elycia Turnbow are engaged. The actor popped the question to his longtime girlfriend, who’s also his publicist, over the weekend. “After four years together, I’m just so happy to be ENGAGED to the love of my life @ElyciaMarie!!!” the former Malcolm in the Middle star, 25, Tweeted. “It’s official… I’m engaged!” Turnbow also Tweeted Saturday. The couple have apparently reconciled after going through a rough patch. Earlier this year, police were called to their home in Phoenix in February to investigate an incident in which, allegedly Muniz punched and pulled a gun on Turnbow . There was even a 911 call placed during the domestic melee. “Neither one is interested in finger-pointing at the other,” Muniz’s rep said at the time. “It was a situation that escalated beyond a point that it needed to be … If anything, they will look back at this as a learning opportunity.” Apparently a good one. Congrats to the engaged pair! [Photo: WENN.com]
That wedding Tara Reid just wouldn’t shut up about this summer – because she’s Tara Reid and no one would cover it if she didn’t – apparently wasn’t even REAL. Tara Reid got married in August on the Greek aisles, hilariously Tweeting that her man’s name was Zach Kehayov after we reported she wed her previous fiance. Encountered by TMZ at the airport yesterday, and asked innocently if she and Zach could win the Newlywed Game … the truth about the nuptials came out. First off, her slurred response is amazing – she seems to be on something in the middle of the day – but then confessed she was “never really married.” Tara and Zack Kehayov had a surprise wedding in the Greek Isles in August, but she says she and Zack never made it a legal union here in the U.S.A. Do they plan to? Who the heck knows. But they are not man and wife … although if they become so, she has something else to Tweet about endlessly. On a side note, Reid can actually be seen in a movie soon (see American Reunion trailer ). It’s the first time since … who the heck even knows anymore.
The sixth week of Dancing With the Stars’ 13th season saw some famous faces in the crowd, some fancy footwork and a harsh exchange between Maks and Len. J.R. Martinez and Ricki Lake again stole the show, with sky-high scores that, while deserved, almost seem engineered to give them a buffer against fan voting. Not that Ricki or J.R. didn’t earn their 29s or don’t have major fan support as it is. But it’s like the judges are taking no chances rewarding the high-flying pair. Â Ricki Lake has shown she can move it like no other, and J.R. Martinez’s quickstep to the intro music from Chicago was probably the best routine of the night. That doesn’t mean others didn’t get slighted. Hope Solo’s rumba to “Seasons of Love” from Rent was panned by the judges, particularly Len, who called it her “worst dance” and drew an angry rebuke. After Len noted that the audience applauds the routines, but he’s been in the business for 50 years, Maks suggested that maybe it was “time to get out.” “With all due respect, this is my show, I help make it what it is, I love every aspect of it,” Chmerkovskiy said backstage, not backing down for one second. “I love every professional that’s ever been here and I love every celebrity who puts effort into it every week. Having said that, I’m a little tired that we’re being judged, some on effort and some being picked on [for] heel leads.” Well, that’s some food for thought isn’t it? Earning the third highest score of the night, surprisingly, was Nancy Grace, whose foxtrot to Spamalot’s “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” was a hit. A couple of fan favorites, Rob Kardashian and David Arquette, couldn’t quite match Nance despite the star power they had in the audience cheering them. David got to exercise his inner geeky prom king with a quickstep to “We Go Together” from Grease, to the delight of daughter Coco, but not the judges. He did score a respectable 23, besting Rob by a point. Kim Kardashian , Kris Humphries, Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian would’ve scored him higher. “Give him a 9!” Khloe encouraged from the sidelines after Rob’s Broadway week cha-cha to “Walk Like a Man.” “Dream on, sweetheart,” retorted Len. According to Goodman, at his cantankerous best last night, Rob’s dance managed to have good timing but no rhythm. Sounds contradictory, but oh well. In the bottom tier, Chaz Bono gave what we thought was a decent effort, but the judges did not agree. At 19 points, he’s on the chopping block again. “Not much to say, is there?” Chaz said. “I understand, I’ve been there,” replied Brooke Burke Charvet, who won the whole thing and totally never has. Anyway, here’s a look at Monday’s Dancing With the Stars scores: J.R. Martinez & Karina Smirnoff: 29 Ricki Lake & Derek Hough: 29 Nancy Grace & Tristan MacManus: 24 David Arquette & Kym Johnson: 23 Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke: 22 Hope Solo & Maks Chmerkovskiy: 20 Chaz Bono & Lacey Schwimmer: 19 Who do you think has danced his or her last routine? Do you agree with scores, from top to bottom? Who’s going home on Tuesday’s results show? Comment below, and vote for who you think will win!
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are back for a decadent day at the spa and THG is here, as always, to break down all the drama for you, +/- style! But before we get massaged, tanned, and exfoliated, let’s hit the kitchen with Adrienne and Lisa. Why? Heck if I know. For some unknown reason Lisa is teaching Adrienne how to make a chicken dinner. But I ask again, why does Adrienne need to learn how to do this? She has a personal chef on site and she obviously hates to cook. Minus 5 because seriously, what is the point? She can’t even find the salt and pepper in her own kitchen. Then things get amusing. When Lisa tells her to wash the chicken she uses dish soap to scrub it down. Plus 11 because I can’t stop laughing. It’s just so stupid. Add an additional Plus 7 for the looks poor Bernie is shooting them as these two defile his kitchen. From there we move on to Lisa meeting up with Malcom at his 60,000 square foot palatial estate. Apparently we’ll be seeing one heck of an engagement party here for Pandora next week. Any idea who will be using the commune bed? Minus 6 because I’m pretty sure I don’t want to know how many people have been in that bed, either separately or all at one time. On to the spa day. Is it just me or does Dana Wilkey seem like more of a ditz every time we see her? She simply parrots whatever anyone around her says. Her need to be accepted borders on scary. Adrienne invites everyone to a spa day. Who knew that the spa is in Adrienne’s home? Now I’m truly jealous. Plus 20 . You’d have to drag me out of my own personal spa. I’ll give Adrienne credit, she certainly knows how to spend her money. And did you see all of the goodies her personal chef made for the ladies. I can’t say I need to have edible gold but how do I get an invite to this party? Minus 5 because Kyle is the only person I’ve ever seen go in for a facial in full makeup and come out the same way. Kim’s late to the party. There’s a shock. Minus 7 because I’m not sure she’s capable of arriving anywhere on time. And what was up with Kim and Kyle’s trampoline adventure in their robes. That was just odd. Finally Brandi Glanville arrives and the tension rises. Adrienne tries to play peace maker without much success. She convinces Brandi to apologize but really doesn’t back her friend much when things border on heated. Minus 10 .
Bristol Palin, formerly America’s favorite unwed teen mom, is now able to buy alcohol legally. Break out the wine coolers and Levi Johnston’s tent tonight!!!!! Just kidding. Seriously, happy 21st birthday, B! It seems like ages ago that her mom was named to the GOP ticket and Bristol Palin became a household name – essentially for being pregnant as a teenager. Since then, so much as changed … well, her face has . Not much else. KIDS : They grow up and get plastic surgery so fast these days . Between feuding with Levi periodically, amusingly advocating for abstinence, making the finals of Dancing With the Stars , battling hecklers and starring in her own reality show with possible beau Kyle Massey, her star is on the rise. That’s both awesome and very, very sad at the same time. Sadly for THG, but probably best for America, Sarah Palin will not run for president in 2012, so Bristol won’t be in the limelight nearly as much in the upcoming campaign. Still, we imagine she’ll find other ways to milk her 15 minutes. Check out a little gallery of Bristol through the years:
Jennie Garth often suffers from migraines, but don’t worry, Twihards: the headaches are not a result of you screaming at her husband. Indeed, the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star is married to Peter Facinelli, better known to many readers as Dr. Carlisle Cullen from The Twilight Saga. Which team is the actress therefore on? Edward or Jacob? And who is the former Dancing with the Stars semifinalist cheering on this season? We touched on both these topics and more in an exclusive interview with Garth. Watch now: Jennie Garth Interview with THG

Rumor has it that there was a geek fight in Beverly Hills last night… Tech titans Mark Zuckerberg and Sean Parker had a huge public bust-up outside a Hollywood nightclub over Facebook’s role in new music venture Spotify. Billionaire Facebook creator Zuckerberg and Napster co-founder Parker, who has launched music streaming service Spotify, got into a boozy fight over the new venture at West Hollywood club The Beverly earlier this month. Sources tell us the pair, whose complicated relationship was highlighted in “The Social Network,” got into an alcohol-fueled argument over Facebook’s partnership deal with Spotify. One source told us, “Sean and Mark had done the big Spotify launch and headed to The Beverly to party. They spent a lot of money on alcohol, and as the night went on they got into an intense discussion, which turned into a loud argument as they left.” According to the witness, “Sean argued that all Spotify users should not be forced to sign up for a Facebook account, but Mark wouldn’t budge. It was a full on screaming match outside the club, but stopped short at coming to blows. They then stormed off in different directions.” The partnership has boosted Spotify subscribers but irked some who don’t want their music choices broadcast on Facebook. Another source said, “Sean gets very intense and can be loud. These guys have been through a lot together. They have passionate discussions and strong opinions. Their partnership has given Spotify a lot of subscribers.” Rich-a$$ computer nerds ready to squab…SMH Source
