The Twilight Saga won’t actually come to an end until November 2012. But Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are already expanding their resumes beyond Edward Cullen and Jacob Black, respectively. Earlier today, we posted photo of Rob getting it on with various women in Bel Ami . Now, we have a behind-the-scenes look at Lautner in Abduction , which will find his character on the run after discovering his face on a missing persons website. The film comes out on September 23 and features Taylor mostly during his own stunts, as seen below. Says co-star Jason Isaacs: “He could take the entire crew with his hands tied behind his back.” Behind the Scenes with Taylor Lautner
Note to John Mayer: get your own look! The irritating artist was spotted out this week in an ensemble that eerily resembles the typical fashion choices of Johnny Depp: facial hair in specific spots, a fedora, a shirt. Depp, whose latest movie trailer has been released , is yet to comment. But we’d like to hear from THG readers. What do you think of this blatant ganking? And who wears this fashion statement the best?
With a quiet brutality and sense of vulnerability, Zoe Saldana establishes herself as a superstar in Colombiana, opening in theaters nationwide tonight. The Avatar star brings a level of haunting viciousness to the screen, but coupled with a back story that would make anything less seem simply na
Snap. Chris Brown just got called out hard core by Fox News’ Andy Levy, first on Twitter, then in an on-air apology (term used loosely) we’ve posted below. After Brown Tweeted last week “No more planking for me unless it’s on a sexy lady! Lol,” Levy re-Tweeted it, adding “You spelled ‘punching’ wrong.” Brown responded much like how he responded to Anderson Cooper’s swipe this month: “Children conduct themselves better! Much love and success!” Humbled, Levy then decided to apologize to Brown and Team Breezy on Fox News’ late night program Red Eye . Here’s his oh-so-sincere mea culpa: Andy Levy Apology to Chris Brown
What the heck happened at the end of this week’s Bachelor Pad episode ? The last rose came down to Jake Pavelka – who ominously vowed that if he was going home, he was going to take as many people as he could out with him – and Kasey Kahl. The music built to a crescendo and then … the credits rolled. Chris Harrison said “Kasey,” but that was it. Presumably he’s getting a rose? It’s all unclear. The host-pimp says next week, “it will all make sense.” Either way, it was odd: Bachelor Pad Episode 3 Rose Ceremony Is there a chance Jake Pavelka actually sticks around? Or did the show decide to edit it this way simply to spread Jake’s epic meltdown upon being voted off? We’ll find out next Monday night, obviously. But until then … Whose side are you on in this Bachelor Pad battle?
Frank Potenza, the uncle of Jimmy Kimmel and a long-time New York City police officer who retired in 2003 and became a often-used personality on his nephew’s talk show, passed away this morning. He was 77. Uncle Frank Potenza on Jimmy Kimmel Live Jimmy Kimmel Live has confirmed the news and released a statement referring to how much Frank’s “kindness and humor” will be missed. His cause of death is unknown at this time. “Thank you for your kind words about a very kind man – my Uncle Frank – who passed away this morning,” Jimmy Tweeted a couple hours ago.
Last night on Bachelor Pad, Melissa went insane, Jake’s feud with Kasey escalated, Bret Michaels showed up, and there was synchronized swimming involved. Just another eventful night on ABC’s guilty pleasure spinoff hit. By the end, it was Jake Pavelka and Kasey Kahl on the block again, with a weird ending that would have people talking if the format actually mattered. Read about it below in THG’s official +/- Bachelor Pad recap: Blake, on Melissa: “She’s like a live wire that’s flailing around on the ground ready to zap somebody, and I’m covered in water.” Plus 4 for that metaphor. Speaking of water, the challenge is synchronized swimming! If you thought the girls would have a big edge here, boy did you think wrong. Minus 5 . Obligatory Minus 2 for Erica’s attempt at “swimming.” Despite not playing to his self-proclaimed strengths – mental durability, physical strength and problem solving – Jake is the star ballerina! Plus 9 . Michael wins the rose, however, resulting in another boring, sappy date with Holly. Minus only 1 , though, because at least this wasn’t scripted. Vienna Girardi, who was asked to come along on Mike’s date for reasons unknown to all, spends the whole time whining. God, she is painful. Minus 9 . Once you get past the random, awkward ridiculousness of his cameo and “performance” for Holly and Mike, Bret Michaels is kind of the man. Plus 11 . Song choice: “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.” Obvi. Plus 4 . Michelle Money, the girls’ winner, is pretty darn likable on Bachelor Pad . Plus 13 for turning around her image. She’s not perfect, but seems genuine. Minus 7 , though, for her pronunciation of Graham. Graaaaaaaaaahm . Not annoying at all. Plus 3 for those two, while we’re at it. So cute together! “I think you’re great,” Michelle says. “You barely know me,” Graham responds. Still, they make out hard. Michelle definitely gets after it. Plus 5 . Minus 4 for the rose appearing and disappearing from Graaaaaaaaaaahm ‘s shirt. Even we noticed that one, editors. Step up your game. Back at the Pad, Jake Pavelka conspires to plot Kasey’s demise. Plus 6 . Sadly, his plot does not involve playing “The Rainbow Connection” on repeat until Kasey loses his mind, attacks him and is removed from the house. Minus 3 . “I was willing to do whatever I need to do.” – Jake, who then backed up his words, alright. He kissed Erica, and it was nothing short of foul. Minus 10 . She was a fan, however. “I have good lips that I maintain by getting injections every six months,” she says. Gross, but Plus 6 for unintentional comedy. Hey, look at that, we forgot William was still on the show! Plus 5 . The more riled up Kasey gets, the harder he is to understand, as his voice resembles a frog’s. Plus 19 , because no one cares what he’s saying anyway. Vienna Girardi ‘s fake boobs are ALL over the place this week. Like, more than usual. Given her personality, how did she ever win The Bachelor?! Minus 3 . Kasey gets down on one knee and gives Vienna a ring … a promise ring. SO lame, and yet fitting, as these two are developmentally in first grade. Wash . Even Vienna can’t take Kasey’s singing half seriously. Take a hint. Unless ABC is paying him cash under the table to pull this, what a douche. Minus 11 . Melissa is freaking out. Like, panic-attack style. Xanax time. Minus 2 . A twist: Only one guy will go home this week! Not that anyone watches Bachelor Pad for the competition aspect, but Minus 4 for rules changing weekly. With one final rose remaining, Chris just says “Kasey” … and then we fade to black. Huh? He then says on Twitter that “It will all make sense next week!” Is Bachelor Pad trying to make us think? What gives? So confusing. Minus 15 . One theory: Jake punches Kasey in the junk before he bolts for the limo, and ABC just wanted to save that for next week’s show. We can hope. Plus 2 . The Mask always cracks us up with his spots during the credits. Plus 3 . EPISODE TOTAL: +14. SEASON TOTAL: +28. GONE : Jake Pavelka (we think), Dignity.
Sean Preston Federline is pretty much the man. Or the boy. You get the idea. Britney Spears’ adorable five-year-old – fathered by the fertility god Kevin Federline during their marriage – joined the pop star on stage Saturday in Ohio. Sean waved to the audience, and his pop star mom planted a kiss on his sweet little cheek. It was a very cute moment, even if it was probably way past his bedtime, and brother Jayden James might have felt a little left out. Check out a brief clip of Sean and Britney below: Sean Preston and Britney Spears in Concert
Monday night on his Symphonica tour in Prague, George Michael gave fans a rendition of Amy Winehouse’s “Love is a Losing Game,” then gave them a piece of very personal information – he and longtime partner Kevin Goss broke up. “It’s time to be honest,” he said . “My love life has has been more turbulent than I’ve let on. This man has brought me a lot of joy and a lot of pain.” Michael then dedicated “Where I Hope You Are” to Goss. George Michael – Love is a Losing Game As for Winehouse, it’s no secret that George Michael was (and still is) a huge fan of the young star who passed away last month. He said: “Amy was, in my opinion, the most soulful vocalist [we have] ever seen.” George urged Amy’s label to re-release “Love is a Losing Game” in the wake of her passing, as it is “the way she should be remembered,” and “as one of the greatest singer songwriters of all time, I hope she is at peace now.” His cover of the moving track (above) can only help that cause. R.I.P. Amy. NOTE : Check out our gallery of Amy Winehouse pictures (1983-2011).
Kim Kardashian got married to Kris Humphries on Saturday, and while some reacted with tears, others with smiles and most sane people with spells of vomit, millions took another approach: They visited KimKSuperstar dot com, the official website of Kim’s naked home video with Ray J. According to TMZ, approximately two million users flooded the URL over the weekend, a major increase from the 300,000 uniques that typically ogle the porn clips each month. Considering this tape is the sole reason Kim was able to pocket $18 million from the wedding, she should clearly open up her wallet a bit for her former partner, shouldn’t she? After all, no one would be talking about her these days if she hadn’t opened up her legs for him. Kim Kardashian Wedding Reception Sneak Peek In non-sex tape video news, check out the sneak peek at Kris and Kim’s wedding reception above.
