With rumors of a Jonas Brothers breakup growing stronger each day – and with a sober coach recently being spotted around Joe Jonas – a rep for this singer has come out and shot down reports that his client has a problem with substance abuse. “There is no truth to it whatsoever,” this source tells Entertainment Tonight. Are The Jonas Brothers Breaking Up? It is true, however, that The Jonas Brothers canceled their tour just two days before it was set to begin last week. And a spokesperson for the group admitted there’s a major internal “rift” between the siblings and the direction of their music. Fueling rumors of a split? Nick, Kevin and Joe deleted their Twitter account this week. “They are not getting along at all. It’s uglier than you think ,” a music industry insider tells People , adding: “They are each looking into solo projects. Nick and the Administration are working on another album. They are moving forward away from the Jonas Brothers. I think this is the beginning of the end.” Say it isn’t so! Or, well… say it is so? Maybe three solo careers will be more entertaining than one group career? Do you want The Jonas Brothers to split? No, don’t even say that! Yes, it’s for the best I don’t care View Poll »
Lady Gaga has done it again, getting all naked in a promotional image for her single “Do What U Want,” featuring R. Kelly, who should have no problem with that. With just a spot of strategically-placed foliage standing between this shot and X-rated indecency, Mother Monster still shows off her curves and fair skin: With her long brunette locks draped seductively over her shoulder, the singer’s naked body is scattered with leaves and moss as she gazes into our souls. The latest in a long, long line of Lady Gaga nude photos comes as she treated fans to a sneak peek of her forthcoming collaboration with R&B star Kelly. “Do What U Want” drops on October 21, with her full album ARTPOP scheduled for next month. Listen to a snippet from the song after the jump … Lady Gaga – Do What U Want Teaser The teaser, which appears in Best Buy spot, apparently went over well. Gaga said she was overwhelmed by her loyal army of followers’ responses. Writing a series of tweets, she said: “I feel like crying seeing your excitement for the new music it means the world to me, this music is my life.” “FUN FACT about ARTPOP: I sang the songs over and over until they transformed into a part of me. Then we pressed record,” she went on. “Each song on ARTPOP was inspired by different types of adrenaline, so it’s an expression of the various rushes. I want you to feel them.” Deep stuff right there, Little Monsters. Lady Gaga ARTPOP Album Cover

Bambi Northwood-Blyth is the young hot girlfriend of some Australian fashion tycoon from some jeans company called Tsubi that all the hot bitches are wearing. She’s like 12 and he’s like 40, but being rich and successful always leads to LOVE with any and all aspiring models trying to sleep their way to the top… And here she is showing some titties for VOGUE!! FUN…I like her determination to get ahead in life, despite not liking her bushy as fuck eyebrows…at all.
Rihanna and Lady Gaga both dressed up as Mary Jane for Halloween parties. We’re talking about the euphemism for the drug known as marijuana, people. RiRi donned her costume for a party she hosted in W. Hollywood, which also featured Chris Brown dressed like a terrorist and a bunch of other stars. Gaga took her mind off Hurricane Sandy at a Puerto Rico bash, Tweeting, “BEST COSTUME EVER ITS SO FUN. Princess High the Cannabis Queen!” Was it the best, though? Or did Rihanna’s score high- er? Vote below!
Chris Brown, a man already linked to violence and destruction on a regular basis, hit up Rihanna’s Halloween party last night dressed as … a stereotypical Islamic terrorist. Here’s the singer and his crew, Taliban style: The 23-year-old and his pals donned beards, turbans and fake guns as they made their way to a TSA Watch List Greystone Manor in West Hollywood. “Ain’t nobody F–king wit my clique!!! #ohb,” Chris tweeted, classily. Chris Brown himself hasn’t commented beyond that, but his mother, Joyce Hawkins, weighed in: “HALLOWEEN IS FOR FUN NOTHING MORE THAN JUST FUN.” “GET A LIFE PLEASE.” Thanks, Joyce. We’ll do that. It’s not like your boy goes out of his way to court controversy. Halloween is the time for shock value, but still. You’d think a convicted woman-beater with obvious rage issues might opt for a costume a little less provocative. You know, like Green Man from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia . Or Karrueche Tran . What do you think of Chris’ costume? Good fun or goodness, what is he thinking? Harmless fun! Offensive and insensitive! View Poll »
I’ll give Liam Neeson this much. He’s even braver in real life than the hard asses he plays in the movies. The New York Daily News reports that Neeson, 60, raised $20,000 for breast cancer research on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Monday by stripping down to a pair of pink bikini briefs and entering a dunk tank on the talk show. “If I take this off, does the $10,000 become $20,000?” Neeson asked DeGeneres as he doffed the pink robe he was wearing to reveal the similarly hued Speedo. “We get fined if you take those off,” the talk-show host said pointing to his briefs. After taking the hot seat, he was promptly doused with with a huge tub of water when an audience nailed the tank target. Kudos to Neeson for sucking it up for charity, but, at the risk of sounding like a real a-hole, I’m going to suggest that he didn’t suck it up enough. Judging from the rolls of belly fat visible in the video, I think that Neeson should either adopt a high-protein diet and Hugh Jackman’s personal trainer or begin employing what I am calling “The Willis Technique” since seeing Looper . Watching Rian Johnson’s impressive but depressing time-travel film, I noticed that Willis, who looks more fat and happy than John McLean in the film — that’s a Die Hard joke — tended to be well-covered in his bedroom cuddle scenes with Qing Xu. I’m sure there’s a very good reason that Willis favored chaste white t-shirts and other cover-ups while spooning with the love of his life, but I have to wonder if some bright person on that set, maybe Bruce himself, realized that the simple undergarment would hide a multitude of fleshy sins that could very well have made Johnson’s plausible dystopian future unbearable. Check out the video below and tell me you don’t think the Willis Technique should not become de rigueur among actors of a certain age. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
This week’s DVD releases include “lesser” but no less entertaining movies by two American mavericks working in their favorite genres: Robert Altman satirizing an American institution with an ensemble cast so large it practically needs the old Cinerama process to get everyone on the screen, and Joe Dante mixing laughs, jolts and teens in peril. HIGH: A Wedding (Anchor Bay; $9.98 DVD) WHO’S RESPONSIBLE: Written by John Considine, Patricia Resnick, Allan Nichols and Robert Altman; directed by Altman; starring Carol Burnett, Lillian Gish, Vittorio Gassman, Mia Farrow, Paul Dooley, Dina Merrill and Lauren Hutton. WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT: It’s the wedding day for Dino Corelli (Desi Arnaz, Jr.) and Muffin Brenner (Amy Stryker), but the happy couple don’t steal focus in Altman’s hilarious 1978 follow-up to Nashville . The class divide between the two families — Dino’s related on his mother’s side to the wealthy, snobbish Sloan clan while the nouveau-riche Brenners own a truck stop — provides the crux of the comedy, though all sorts of intriguing subplots, tropical storms, sexual secrets and all-around inappropriate behavior pop up throughout the happy day. With this many farcical goings-on in one huge mansion, it’s no surprise that Altman later turned this script into an opera. WHY IT’S SCHMANCY: While critics often dismiss A Wedding , given that it comes on the heels of the director’s masterpiece, it’s a biting, bracing comedy that ranks among the great screen satires of the 1970s. If you’ve ever been to a big wedding, you know the phenomenon of not knowing who everyone is, and this film requires at least a few viewings before you can nail down all the relationships among the 48 — twice as many as Nashville ’s 24 — characters. You’ll find those viewings to be rewarding, since there are so many hilarious performances and oddball supporting characters that you might miss the first time you watch. WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT (AGAIN): This title was mostly lost in the shuffle for years. It was originally available on DVD only in a 2006 Altman box set with three other titles before becoming a solo release with little fanfare the following year. Now that Anchor Bay is giving A Wedding another go, movie fans who missed this gem in the Altman oeuvre have a chance to check it out. (Extras-wise, there’s but one featurette, and someone needs to release that opera on DVD, too.) LOW: The Hole (Big Air Studios; $14.99 DVD, $20.99 Blu-Ray) WHO’S RESPONSIBLE: Written by Mark L. Smith, directed by Joe Dante; starring Chris Massoglia, Haley Bennett, Nathan Gamble, Teri Polo, Bruce Dern, Dick Miller. WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT: After moving into a new house, brothers Dane (Massoglia) and Lucas (Gamble) discover a trapdoor held shut with a half-dozen padlocks. Consumed by curiosity, they open it, only to find a seemingly bottomless cavern on the other side. They soon realize that the hole knows what you fear most, and with the help of next-door neighbor Julie (Bennett), they fight to overcome their deepest terrors. WHY IT’S FUN: The Hole has that overly-bright look you’ll recognize from cable movies and low-budget direct-to-DVD flicks, but nobody juggles comedy and horror like Dante, the man behind both Gremlins films, The Howling , Piranha and Matinee . Even if he’s working on the cheap, he’s still inventive and funny, and the film offers some effective frights and charming performances (particularly from Bennett and Gamble), all wrapped up in a moral not unlike the one currently being offered up by ParaNorman . WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT (AGAIN): Minimally released in U.S. theaters, it’s more than likely that you missed this one during its all-too-brief run on the big screen. So, this DVD is your only chance to see the movie at all, even if the handful of extras offered here are pretty thin gruel. Alonso Duralde has written about film for The Wrap , Salon and MSNBC.com. He also co-hosts the Linoleum Knife podcast and regularly appears on What The Flick?! (The Young Turks Network) . He is a senior programmer for the Outfest Film Festival in Los Angeles and a pre-screener for the Sundance Film Festival.

When train wrecks attack: Amanda Bynes is NOT happy that Lindsay Lohan is trash talking her, texting a friend today saying, “I HATE being compared to her.” Amanda has a point, in that she’s never been arrested for drugs, chasing people, stealing from a jewelery store or violating the terms of her probation … a lot. The same cannot be said of SOME people we know. Lohan had the audacity to Tweet about Bynes and wonder aloud why she’s been to jail and Amanda hasn’t. Bynes says they’re not friends and LL needs to shut it. Lindsay, BTW, has been convicted of crimes (plural) and been to jail as a result of violating probation; Amanda was arrested for DUI this year, but has no convictions. Not yet, at least. Her laundry list of traffic infractions – hit-and-runs (twice), texting and driving, a license suspension – grew again over the weekend. Bynes’ car was impounded Sunday after a bizarre incident in which the actress went at Burbank Airport, parked in a no-parking zone, then just drove off. The Burbank Airport Police noticed Amanda because of her behavior, shooing her away from the no-parking zone where she was stopped, TMZ reports. Shortly after, cops noticed Amanda driving aimlessly near the valet area; she then left the airport without going inside. An hour later, she was pulled over. When police ran her license after that (unspecified) traffic violation, they realized it was suspended and impounded the 26-year-old’s car. Probably for the best. FUN FACT: Lindsay just Tweeted President Obama asking for a tax cut for millionaires ; Bynes Tweeted Obama with a request to fire the cop who arrested her in April. Who’s the bigger mess, Lindsay Lohan or Amanda Bynes?
