Billy Ray Cyrus Stands Up for Miley, Sort of Compares Daughter to Johnny Cash

Unlike Sinead O’Connor , Billy Ray Cyrus is a big believer in everything his daughter is doing these days. With Miley Cyrus engaged in a heated back-and-forth with O’Connor – calling Sinead out for her history of mental illness after that artist advised Miley to remain clothed – father Billy Ray appeared this week on the new Arsenio Hall show. And he once again stood up for his 20-year old child. Billy Ray Cyrus on Arsenio Billy Ray said Miley is “smart” and has “thought this thing out in advance,” in regard to her wild, attention-grabbing antics. He also remarked the she “grew up around the greats,” modeling herself after icons such as Johnny Cash. We can’t say we saw that comparison coming. Did Johnny Cash ever thrust his crotch into an iced tea can ? If so, it’s slipped our memory. Following his Q&A with Hall, Cyrus performed two songs with Fred Durst and subsequently Tweeted: “On the night the U.S. Government shut down… rocked with Fred Durst until 3AM. Guess everything’s gonna be all right.” It really is, people. Who cares that you’re out of work and/or can’t visit a national park today because Congress can’t come to an agreement that would allow it to actually function? Billy Ray Cyrus rocked out with Fred Durst!

Rob Kardashian Makes Socks, Doesn’t Care About Reality Show

Paraphrasing the Bobs in Office Space , it’s a question many have often wanted to ask Kim Kardashian : What, exactly, would she say she does for a living? The answer remains unclear. But brother Rob Kardashian was posed this very same inquiry by The Wall Street Journal and he responded by trying to distance himself from his famous last name. Rob Kardashian Leaves Last Name Behind “Literally, my job is I make socks. That’s all I do,” Kardashian told the newspaper. He went on to say he doesn’t “necessarily care about [ Keeping Up with the Kardashians ]” and would prefer to act as a true entrepreneur. “I would rather film this than [be] around my family,” he says. Indeed, Rob has started a luxury sock line called Arthur George. Notice the lack of his last name in that brand title, a vast departure from Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and their Kardashian Kollection . “I don’t know what their goals are at the end of the day,” he said of his sisters and their fashion line. “Obviously, they love fashion and they’ve always been involved in that world… But I’d like to do my own thing and focus on what I love. If people accept it, they accept it. If they don’t, they don’t.” But Rob does want to at least make clear that he loves his family and is grateful for the position he’s in. “Thank God I have that opportunity to be with my family and work with my family,” he notes. “Not everybody even gets to live with their own family because they have to go to L.A. or New York or wherever to work and find a job and leave their family back home. “But everyday I get to work with my family – if I want to. And I’m all about family, that’s how I was raised. We’ve all got each other’s backs. And thank God, I have the opportunity to do what I love, which is my family and work on a business and try and make it the best that it can be.” The point of all this? Sorry, ladies: But no Rob Kardashian sex tape is hitting the market any time soon.

Charlie Hunnam: NOT Quitting Fifty Shades of Grey Movie!

Rumors that Charlie Hunnam is quitting the Fifty Shades of Grey movie have surfaced in recent days. The alleged reason? The widespread fan discontent. While that is undeniably the reason for the rumors themselves – you wouldn’t hear such rumors over The Vampire Diaries ‘ Ian Somerhalder – it’s untrue. Some are even brainstorming who should play Christian Grey if Hunnam walks. While absurd, that does tell you a lot about how his casting was received. Like it or not, though, Hunnam and Dakota Johnson will star in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. He was hanging with E.L. James only a few days ago. The book’s author tweeted, “Guess who” alongside a photo of Charlie’s forearm tattoo that his character, Jax Teller, wears on FX’s Sons of Anarchy . Obviously, E.L. and Charlie aren’t sitting around taking Twitpics if he isn’t very much on board with the film. Sorry to burst your bubble, Matt Bomer fans. In fact, rather than discord among the Fifty Shades braintrust, they’re protecting their investment. Hunnam has reportedly been given a team of bodyguards. Apparently they don’t want anyone messing up that face … or trying to take him out in hopes of Robert Pattinson being installed in his 50 Shades place.

Matt Bomer on Fifty Shades of Grey Petition: Grateful and Touched!

Fifty Shades of Grey fans’ petition to replace Charlie Hunnam with Matt Bomer as lead character Christian Grey is flattering, the latter said in an interview. “I’m so grateful for all the fans and touched,” he tells Entertainment Tonight , however, “I’m looking forward to seeing the movie with Charlie and Dakota.” Fans didn’t exactly scream in ecstasy when they learned Hunnam and Dakota Johnson were cast in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. Some took action. A Change (dot) org petition begged producers to cast Bomer as kinky-yet-sensitive billionaire Christian and Alexis Bledel as his willing sex toy Anastasia Steele. Bomer politely declined to take up the cause, but the White Collar star did say he’s excited to explore the bad boy side of his TV character more this year. Plus, nobody can take away the actor’s shirtless dance scenes in Magic Mike, or this fan-made Fifty Shades of Grey trailer starring Bomer and Bledel. The bar has been set pretty high here, Charlie. Fifty Shades of Grey Trailer (Unofficial) In related news, Robert Pattinson is reportedly upset he didn’t get cast as Christian in 50 Shades , despite being the first choice of author EL James. Garrett Hedlund, meanwhile, was heavily courted for the coveted role but eventually turned it down because he “didn’t connect” with the character. Oh, what might have been, right THGers?

Desiree Hartsock, Chris Siegfried Silence Critics With Labor Day Love-Fest

Despite all the online chatter, Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried are not throwing in the towel just yet … if they were ever even close to doing so. Des’ Twitter feed is basically a live streaming look at a couple who certainly appears to be happy, in love and touching each other as much as possible. A far cry from rumors that it’s already over or that they’re cracking under the pressure of going public after their unusual courtship on The Bachelorette . Desiree posted photos of herself and Chris playing volleyball over the weekend, Chris shirtless and putting together furniture, Chris’ poetry on the iPad, etc. She also mentioned treating themselves to massages. Safe to say that if this duo is going through hard times, they are masking it awfully aggressively. For some, Desiree Hartsock sharing her love with the social media-verse 24/7 can’t erase how crushed she was when Brooks Forester dumped her. And that’s fine. So it goes with reality TV love. But is it possible – nay, likely at this point – that her obvious second choice Chris was still the best? And that she’s – gasp! – happier than ever, as advertised? Critics will say she’s overcompensating, trying too hard and going all in hoping Chris will replace Brooks in the end, when it’s destined to fail. Fans say that things work out for a reason, and however unorthodox it was to watch Des and Chris Siegfried get together, that doesn’t mean it’s not perfect. Time will tell who is right, but we’re all pulling for them. What do you think: Will Des and Chris last?   Yes! They’re together for all the right reasons! No. There’s no chemistry there.

Ian Somerhalder and Garrett Hedlund: OUT of Fifty Shades of Grey Running

It’s still to be determined who will play Christian Grey in the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey movie, but it’s reportedly become clear who will not be cast: Ian Somerhalder and Garrett Hedlund are both out of the running, according to insiders, along with Stephen Amell , narrowing the list of candidates. Hedlund, 28, was reportedly approached about playing the S&M-obsessed lead in the film version of E.L. James’ erotic novel, but turned it down . “Doing a possible trilogy was too big a commitment, and producers wouldn’t let him do just one film,” says the source of Kirsten Dunst’s boyfriend. Ian Somerhalder, 34, is out too – though he openly coveted the part. The “phenomenal opportunity” he lobbied for won’t be his for the taking. A source says “E.L. said at a Comic-Con party [that] the part won’t go to Ian.” Both The Vampire Diaries star and Garrett Hedlund have been popular picks in the online fantasy casting game that’s gone on for a year, but alas. The only major casting decision for the Fifty Shades of Grey movie, so far, has been the director. James confirmed that Sam Taylor-Johnson will helm the film. As for the two leads, they’re still TBA, and until we have official confirmation, everything is conjecture. So we toss the question over to you once again: Who do you think would be the perfect Christian Grey?   Ian Somerhalder Alex Pettyfer Stephen Amell Matt Bomer Ryan Gosling Ryan Phillippe Alexander Skarsgard Henry Cavill Chris Evans Tom Hardy Chris Pine Garrett Hedlund Other (Cite in Comments) View Poll »

Fifty Shades of Grey Director: Sam Taylor-Johnson Wins the Job!

It’s official: Sam Taylor-Johnson has been hired to direct Fifty Shades of Grey ! For those who don’t know, Sam, the 46-year-old director of  Nowhere Boy , ended up marrying the star of that film, Aaron Johnson, who is half her age at 23. Which kind of makes this choice perfect, given the theme of the novel (I really shouldn’t call it a novel). Aaron Johnson, in fact, has been talked about in the past to star as Christian Grey in the film. Whether that just got more or less likely now that his wife is directing remains to be seen. So who will play Christian and who will play Anastasia ? Many a name has been thrown around, with the likes of Alex Pettyfer and Jonathan Rhys Meyers rumored for Christian, and Felicity Jones is the latest actress rumored to be in the running for Anastasia. Sam Taylor-Johnson beat out the likes of Gus Van Sant and Joe Wright for the directing job, which means that producers must have liked her vision, given that she is a relatively unproven director. Stay posted as casting is sure to fill out now that a director is signed on.
