Based on her acting , Rosie Huntington-Whiteley might not have a big screen career ahead of her. Based on her body, though, this beauty will be modeling for an awfully long time to come. Huntington-Whiteley appears in a new perfume campaign for Burberry, donning nothing but a trench coat and placing her legs in a strategic position. If only she’d move the right one over just a touch… “It’s a huge honour to be working with Burberry again,” Rosie said about her new role. “[It’s] a brand that put my career on the map and helped launch me. To be asked to be the first Burberry Body is an amazing compliment.” The fragrance will hit the market on September 1. Man, it’s really gonna suck when Shia LaBeouf comes out next year and admits he nailed Huntington-Whiteley between takes.
‘What Doesn’t Kill You,’ ‘I Forgive You’ and ‘Dumb + Dumb =U’ hit the Internet over the weekend, following earlier leak of ‘Let Me Down.’ By Gil Kaufman Kelly Clarkson Photo: Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images Kelly Clarkson fans got a big sneak preview of the singer’s upcoming album over the weekend when three tracks reportedly slated for her fifth effort leaked onto the Internet. The leaks came less than a week after another never-before-heard song, the rocking “Let Me Down,” popped up online amid rumors that it could be the first single from the still untitled follow-up to 2009’s return to form All I Ever Wanted . Though the audio tracks were quickly pulled down, a number of sites that got a listen described the songs as very different from the angsty “Let Me Down.” One, “What Doesn’t Kill You,” reportedly features the lines, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger/ Stand a little taller/ Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone.” The Idolator blog described that song as a Pink-style empowerment anthem. Another leaked song, titled “Forgive You,” is a peace offering to a person from her past, in which Clarkson sings, “We were just a couple of kids trying to figure out how to live, doing it our way/ No shame, no blame, ’cause the damage is done.” She’s back to her old tricks in “Dumb + Dumb = U,” a slap at an unnamed ex who clearly rubbed her the wrong way. The song reportedly has the same pop-rock vibe as Clarkson’s smash hit “Since U Been Gone.” In the latest effort, she gets her revenge in lyrics such as “It ain’t rocket science/ I may not be Einstein, but I know that dumb plus dumb equals you!” A spokesperson for Clarkson could not be reached for comment at press time to confirm the legitimacy of the songs or if they are slated to be included on the album. According to an update from Clarkson earlier this year, the album is due in the fall and she recorded the final tune in late February. Songwriter Claude Kelly told MTV News in March that the delays in the album’s release are tied to efforts by Clarkson’s label to ensure the album is set up correctly. “They want to make sure that the arena is clean for Kelly Clarkson’s return , ’cause when she comes back, she always comes back pretty big,” he said. “They want to make sure when her first single comes out, there’s nothing out there that’s competing with it. I don’t know for sure, but Kelly always does it big, so when it comes out, the fans will be happy and she’ll sing her butt off and it’ll be good times.” Related Artists Kelly Clarkson
Follow-up to smash ‘Friday, titled ‘My Moment,’ will be released July 18. By Jocelyn Vena Rebecca Black Photo: Ethan Miller/Getty Images Thanks to her ubiquitous hit “Friday,” Rebecca Black quickly went from YouTube sensation to starring in a Katy Perry video for that singer’s equally ubiquitous hit “Last Friday Night.” Now Black is ready to take her career to the next level. She’ll release a new song, “My Moment,” on July 18, according to The Hollywood Reporter The song was written by Brandon “Blue” Hamilton (Justin Bieber) and Quinton Tolbert and the production credits include Charlton Pettus. The video is less kitschy (but perhaps just as literal) than her “Friday” video. It will include footage of her attending red-carpet events and receiving an award at her junior high school. It will “tell the story of her sudden rise to fame,” according to a statement. “It’s a fairy tale story, but it happened in real life.” Black is also working on finishing up her five-track EP, which will be released in August. “We’re thinking about it; we have so many different options right now. We’re trying to decide which route we should take,” Black told MTV News earlier this year about her career plans and following up her viral smash. “I really like Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Katy Perry , Selena Gomez; all just the fun upbeat stuff, teenager songs,” she said of her musical inspirations. “My dream duet would be Justin Bieber. Even just doing something with Taylor Swift, or any of my favorite artists would be so cool.” Are you looking forward to Rebecca Black’s next single? Tell us in the comments!

This Nov. 17, 2002 file photo shows Houston Rockets#39; Yao Ming reacting after scoring against the Los Angeles Lakers, in Los Angeles. Yahoo!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, MGM will team up with A Solitary Man writer Brian Koppelman and director David Levien to bring Neil Strauss’s dating how-to book The Game to the big screen. Others have tried before to make Strauss’s best-selling pick-up tome into a film, but maybe Koppelman and Levien are the right guys for the job; after all, they gave Michael Douglas a great vehicle playing a skeevy womanizer in A Solitary Man . Maybe they can do the same for magician-turned-pick-up artist Mystery?
I didn’t make the rules, girls, but it appears that Kevin James has reached a point in his career where he can look back and say, “I’m like if Chris Farley had it together!” I’m going to get out this comparison’s way and let the late SNL star and Zookeeper topliners’ careers speak for themselves.
So far in his career, Justin Timberlake has excelled at everything he’s tried — singing, dancing, acting, fashion, comedy, drama, being sexy… the list goes on. Golf aside, it turns out we don’t have to worry about JT becoming a professional athlete anytime soon, as evidenced by this video sketch from the upcoming 2011 ESPYs. … More » Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Idolator Discovery Date : 08/07/2011 19:55 Number of articles : 2
When we spoke to Olivia a couple of weeks ago, she mentioned a new addition to the “Love & Hip-Hop” cast. Today, we know who she is and it actually makes a lot of sense when you think of the rest of the cast. Do you know who’s BM is going to be cashing in those reality checks next? Juelz Santana’s girlfriend Kimbella, who is also the mother of his 10-month-old son, will be the newest cast member to join VH1′s top rated reality show “Love & Hip Hop” a source told AllHipHop.com. Juelz met the model and mother of two on the social networking site Twitter and the two have been inseparable ever since. Kimbella, who is currently on the cover of Black Men Magazine’s June issue along with Keyshia Dior and Charm Killings, will be branching out to expand her career into acting and music. Kimbella discussed her career in a previous interview with AllHipHop.com, conducted prior to her being cast in the reality show. “I’m trying to transition into acting and singing,” Kimbella told AllHipHop.com. “I’m launching my pop career and as we speak I’m recording in the studio. My sound is definitely not Beyonce, but more of a Fergie, Rihanna type sound.” Oh boy. At least these two seem to have a pretty drama free relationship. Flip through for more pics of Juelz and Kimbella all bunned up and their little bundle of joy.
In what would be a stepping stone in his career, ATL’s own Andre 3000 may play famed guitarist Jimi Hendrix in a upcoming independent biopic. The news was divulged from actress Hayley Atwell who told Esquire magazine that she will possibly be working on the project alongside the OutKast member. Previous attempts to bring a Jimi Hendrix story to life have been made by Laurence Fishburne and Lenny Kravitz. Both were unsuccessful. In an interview with the New York Daily News seven years ago, 3 Stacks said he was excited about portraying the two sides of Hendrix’s persona onscreen, though no project ever materialized. “Jimi was wild onstage,” he said. “Offstage, he was really calm.” The film never came to be, however. Laurence Fishburne and rocker Lenny Kravitz have similarly thrown their hats into the ring to bring the musician’s biopic to life over the years, but securing rights to the story has been a reportedly tough process.

Firebrand femme Emma Stone appears on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine this month, sporting a sexy tousled blonde ‘do and a fantastic bikini body. So fantastic, in fact, that we’re willing to overlook the gaps in her skinema knowledge- almost. In the interview Emma says that one of her career role models is French star and Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard , because she, uhm, doesn’t do nude scenes. “She’s so sexy, and she’s covered up!” quoth the new, blonde Emma. Sorry Emma, but if Marion Cotillard doesn’t do nude scenes, how’d she become a Mr. Skin Nudity Hall-of-Famer ? We have 13 sexamples of Marion being sexy and completely UN-covered, from The Story of a Boy who Wanted to be Kissed (1994) to toi et moi (2006). What can we say? We’re sticklers for the naked truth. Now just one question remains- since your role model is clearly comfortable with onscreen nudity, when do we get to see those Stone boulders, Emma? See the (ahem) physical evidence with Marion Cotillard nude after the jump!
