Michael C. Hall’s Wife Jennifer Carpenter Files For Divorce

Posted on December 17, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Michael C. Hall’s Wife Jennifer Carpenter Files For Divorce

Julia Stiles denies causing ‘Dexter’ co-stars’ split. By Jocelyn Vena Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall Photo: Carlos Alvarez/ Getty Images After “Dexter” stars Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter announced their split earlier this week, Carpenter filed for divorce on Thursday. The actress cited irreconcilable differences in papers filed in Los Angeles, noting that the couple, who married on December 31, 2008, separated in August. The Associated Press reported that Carpenter is seeking spousal support from the SAG Award-nominated actor. The actors, who play brother and sister on the hit show, have no children. Publicists for Hall and the Showtime series had no comment about the divorce or how it would affect the show, which was just renewed for its sixth season. After rumors surfaced that Julia Stiles, who joined the show as Dexter’s serial killer girlfriend this past season, had been secretly dating Hall, the actress released a statement saying that she had nothing to do with the couple’s split. “I have absolutely nothing to do with the split between Michael and Jennifer. We are good friends and enjoyed working together,” Stiles told UsMagazine.com in a statement. “This is a personal matter between them, and we should respect their privacy. Although I too prefer to keep my private life private, I felt compelled to dispel the rumors I was somehow the cause for this matter.” The news comes in a week filled with celebrity splits. On Monday, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens broke up and just a day later Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds announced they were separating after two years of marriage.

Romo asked the TV reporter to marry him at her birthday party in Dallas. By Jocelyn Vena Candice Crawford, Tony Romo and Chace Crawford Photo: Larry Busacca/ Getty Images Here’s an interesting chain reaction: First, Nick Lachey popped the question to Vanessa Minnillo . Then his ex, Jessica Simpson, got engaged to Eric Johnson. And now her ex, Dallas Cowboys star Tony Romo, is also getting married. The footballer, who is currently nursing a collarbone injury, is engaged to Candice Crawford, Chace Crawford’s sister and a former Miss Missouri who is now a sports reporter for Dallas CW affiliate KDAF . Crawford’s station, naturally, broke the news on Thursday night, posting a picture of the reporter’s engagement ring. According to KDAF, Romo asked Crawford to marry him at her 24th birthday party in front of her family, who were all at Dallas hotspot Five Sixty. No wedding date has been set. According to her profile page on KDAF’s website, the TV reporter “loves to run, play basketball, cook, go to Dallas Cowboys games and hang out with friends and family. And, oh yeah, she likes to watch her brother on ‘Gossip Girl.’ ” Romo and Crawford began dating in the fall of 2009, shortly after his split from Simpson . Romo carried on a very public romance with the pop star from late 2007 until their split in July 2009. Simpson discussed a potential breakup with Romo in an issue of Glamour that hit newsstands the month after they split. “If this article comes out and we’re not together, I’d still love him, and he’d still be a huge part of who I am today,” Simpson said, adding that breakups feel like “a death in the family.”

‘Glee’ Stars ‘Can’t Wait’ For Gwyneth Paltrow’s Return

Posted on December 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on ‘Glee’ Stars ‘Can’t Wait’ For Gwyneth Paltrow’s Return

‘She came in and just blew the roof off this place,’ Lea Michele gushes. By James Dinh Lea Michelle Photo: Getty Images Not only did Gwyneth Paltrow’s guest appearance on “Glee” please Cee Lo , it also left a lasting impression on the show’s castmembers. Lea Michele and Jane Lynch recently opened up about the Oscar-winning actress’ return to the halls of McKinley High for a yet-to-be-filmed episode and why they look forward to working with her again. Speaking with “Access Hollywood,” Golden Globe nominee Michele said she hopes to do another number with Paltrow, admitting she was originally starstruck by actress. “Oh my God, that was so unbelievable,” she gushed. “Half the time I was like … all that was processing in my head over and over again: ‘That’s Gwyneth Paltrow. That’s Gwyneth Paltrow.’ It’s so unbelievable.” While many celebrity guests have appeared on the hit Fox show, Michele felt that Paltrow left an impression, saying, “She came in and just blew the roof off this place. I’m telling you, no one has come in and has done what Gwyneth did. She came in, totally not intimidated by anything and she went from doing Cee Lo to ‘Chicago’ and just totally did it with ease and grace like she’d been here every day before that.” The 24-year-old star also told “Access” host Maria Menounos that, before leaving the show, Paltrow wrote her “the loveliest note.” “She’s just so sweet and I can’t wait to have her back,” she added. Michele isn’t the only castmember looking forward to the “Country Strong” star’s return as substitute teacher Holly Holiday. Jane Lynch said she was “thrilled” to have Paltrow revisit “Glee.” “I thought she did such a wonderful job,” Lynch told “Access Hollywood.” “She proved that she has the goods, you know, she’s the real thing. She sings, she dances and obviously she had a good time and we worked her so hard that week she was here. I hope I get to do more with her.” Are you excited for Gwyneth’s follow-up cameo?

Justin Bieber Won’t Face Charges In Laser-Tag Incident

Posted on December 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Justin Bieber Won’t Face Charges In Laser-Tag Incident

Pop star was accused of punching a 12-year-old boy in the face. By Gil Kaufman Justin Bieber Photo: Getty Images It looks like Justin Bieber will not have this on his permanent record. After facing possible sanction for an incident at a Richmond, British Columbia, laser-tag park where he allegedly punched a 12-year-old boy in the face, police in Richmond said they have decided not to file charges against Justin Bieber. “The file in regard to the alleged assault at the entertainment center has been concluded, and no charges will be forwarded,” Corporal Turley of the Richmond Royal Canadian Mounted Police told MTV News on Tuesday (December 14). “The investigation is complete.” Turley said the evidence collected did not support going forward with the investigation, noting that she was unable to confirm whether Bieber was one of the persons involved because of a law prohibiting the dissemination of information into criminal cases involving youths. Bieber had been accused of getting into a scuffle with the unidentified boy during an October 15 session at the Planet Lazer Entertainment Center in Richmond. According to reports, Bieber got angry when the boy allegedly hurled a homophobic slur at him and lashed out in response. The boy sustained minimal injuries after what TMZ reported was an incident in which Bieber, 16, was targeted by an overzealous laser-tag player who used an anti-gay slur against him. When the 12-year-old stuck his hand out toward Bieber, the “Baby” singer reportedly batted it away and left the park. A short time later, Bieber spoke out against bullying and posted an “It Gets Better” clip. In it, he said, “Hey guys, I’m Justin Bieber. I just wanted to say there’s nothing cool about being a bully. And if you’re getting bullied, make sure to tell someone and, you know, it gets better. And if you’re a bystander, make sure to step in and, you know, help out.” Related Artists Justin Bieber

Lil Wayne Premieres New Song, ‘6’7" ‘

Posted on December 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Lil Wayne Premieres New Song, ‘6’7" ‘

Weezy re-teams with ‘A Milli’ producer Bangladesh for first single off Tha Carter IV. By Alvin Blanco Lil Wayne Photo: Getty Images Lil Wayne is officially back. The Young Money CEO was released from Rikers Island in November, but on Tuesday (December 14) Lil Wayne let Funkmaster Flex premiere his latest single, “6′ 7″,” featuring Cory Gunz and produced by Bangladesh. The combo of Weezy and Bangladesh creates instant heat, just as it did when they linked up on “A Milli” from Tha Carter III. That single became one of 2007’s most popular and helped push the album to a million units sold in its first week. Lil Wayne snaps on “6′ 7,” ” dropping some very quotable verses (“Most of y’all don’t get the picture unless the flash is on”) over Bangladesh’s schizoid production of sped-up vocals, blade-sharp percussion and murky bass. Vivid metaphors flow throughout the track. Raps Wayne, “Life is a bitch and death is her sister, sleep is the cousin, what a f—in’ family picture/ You know father time, we all know mother nature. It’s all in the family, but I am of no relation. …” The latest Young Money signee, Cory Gunz, caps off the song with a double time flow on the final third verse. Blog sites began posting a radio rip of the song almost immediately. On Shade 45 earlier Tuesday morning, Lil Wayne told hosts DJ Drama and Karen Civil that “6′ 7″ ” is not only “a very tall record” but is the lead single from Tha Carter IV, which he said will be in stores February 2011.

Coldplay Working On A Concept Album

Posted on December 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Coldplay Working On A Concept Album

Follow-up to Viva la Vida doesn’t yet have a release date or title. By Gil Kaufman Coldplay Photo: Eamonn McCormack/ WireImage One of the endearing quirks of Coldplay is that, despite their slow march to worldwide rock stardom over the past decade, they’ve remained self-deprecating and firmly focused on writing expansive pop songs without falling into the trap of trying to become “important.” But in the sessions for their fifth album, the follow-up to the smash 2008 hit Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, singer Chris Martin and his band are finally taking the dreaded “CA” plunge — as in “concept album.” “It’s from the point of view of two people who are a bit lost,” Martin told BBC News about the Brian Eno-produced disc. “Two like-minded outsiders who meet in a very difficult environment and therefore have a journey together.” After exploring the high-minded issues of love and war on the Grammy-winning Viva la Vida, Martin promised that the new disc will be more intimate and more worldly. “It’s a concept album, but it’s supposed to be very personal within a big framework. Does that make sense?” he said. Working again with Eno (David Bowie, U2), Martin said the band is leaning on the producer and Roxy Music co-founder to once more push them to explode their sound. “Brian is the sower of seeds and ideas and experimenting, which is very liberating. Then [collaborator] Marcus [Dravs]’ job is to come in after all that’s been done and try and sculpt it into some kind of releasable format.” They’ve been working on the album for more than a year, during sessions that the BBC described as “chaotic,” which left Coldplay with a number of half-formed and half-completed tracks. Martin said the group spent a year “making a lot of noise” that now needs to be sorted out and formed into actual songs. There’s no release date scheduled for the yet-untitled disc, but fans will get a brief glimpse at Coldplay later this month when they play a pair of sold-out gigs for the U.K. homeless charity Crisis. “I think it will be good for us to get our gig feet on for a couple of days because sometimes you can get very institutionalized in the studio,” Martin said. “There’s a danger that you forget that you’re going to have to play this for people and that’s when music can become a little bit silly.” They’ve also released the Yuletide single “Christmas Lights” to tide their fans over. The plaintive piano ballad about a holiday lover’s spat is accompanied by a whimsical performance video set on a colorful stage in the middle of a twinkling sea of lights.

Lil Wayne Calls Upcoming Single ‘6’7" ‘ A ‘Very Tall Record’

Posted on December 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Lil Wayne Calls Upcoming Single ‘6’7" ‘ A ‘Very Tall Record’

‘Hopefully, it shows people where I’m at lyrically,’ Weezy tells Shade 45. By Jayson Rodriguez Lil Wayne Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images Last week, Lil Wayne’s right-hand Mack Maine told MTV News that the New Orleans MC’s first expected single from Tha Carter IV, “6’7,”” would be like “A Milli” but “on steroids.” Weezy, however, corrected him on Tuesday (December 14) when he appeared on satellite radio station Shade 45’s morning show with DJ Drama and blogger Karen Civil , in his first extensive interview since his release from prison last month. ( Wayne spoke to MTV News on the red carpet of his welcome home festivities in Miami.) “It’s a monster, actually,” he told Drama. “Hopefully, it shows people where I’m at lyrically. Better than everybody.” But is “6’7″ ” a high-powered “A Milli” on steroids? “Nah,” Wayne said. “Human growth hormones. It’s a very tall record.” The track is reportedly produced by Bangladesh, who helmed the frenetic “A Mili” as well, and will feature Young Money/ Nick Cannon signee Cory Gunz. According to Wayne, he’s also preparing to shoot a video for the clip with iconic hip-hop music director Hype Williams. So far, since his release, the only new Wayne material has been his contribution to Bryan “Baby” Williams’ “Fire Flames” track. But Wayne warned that since his imprisonment, his skills have only increased. “I would say so,” he told Drama, when the DJ asked if he’d improved lyrically compared to before his time in Rikers Island. “I would say, yeah, because it don’t matter where I went, I try to be better than my last [project].” Related Photos The Evolution Of Weezy Related Artists Lil Wayne
