Ann Romney was offered a spot on Dancing With the Stars this season, and seriously considered doing it, but eventually passed, according to reports. The woman who would’ve been First Lady of the United States in 2013 actually appeared on last season’s finale and gushed that she was a big, big fan. Ann Romney and producers had several meetings to try to hash out the details of her appearing this spring, but Ann ultimately decided against it. She was approached shortly after her husband lost the 2012 election to President Barack Obama, since her schedule was suddenly very clear. A rep for the wife of Mitt Romney confirms, “Ann Romney was approached, but she declined. She will not be appearing on Dancing with the Stars .” Too bad. Would’ve been great to see her vie for the Mirror Ball. Wonder if she’d get more than 47 percent of the vote ? Sorry.
Three Massachusetts men and a 14-year-old boy were reportedly arrested Saturday night in connection with a violent brawl … at a baby shower. Bottles and punches were thrown and furniture was smashed. Police say 24-year-old Patrick Cardoso Lopes; 24-year-old Paulo Pires Depina; and 22-year-old Aderito Lopes Deandrade, all of Brockton, were arrested . They are scheduled to be arraigned Monday on charges including disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and assault and battery on a police officer. The 14-year-old’s name was not released because of his age. Police say they responded to a function hall in Stoughton at about 11:45 p.m. Saturday and found as many as 200 people involved in the fight. One sparked, apparently, by uninvited guests. The fight, involving women, went on in front of children. Sgt. Daniel McGowan called the scene a “nightmare.” Another word might be “cluster*%k.”
Move over McKayla Maroney . Tommy Lee Jones is here to show you what it means to truly be unimpressed by something noteworthy. Among the highlights of last night’s Golden Globe Awards, Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig presented the trophy for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy. But while everyone at home and everyone in attendance laughed uproariously at their attempt to praise the nominees – for movies they apparently never watched – Jones looked more angry than entertained. Like, a lot more angry. See for yourself in this reaction shot:
The 2013 Golden Globes have given us so many magical gifts, like that five minutes of Kristen Wiig – Will Ferrell wackiness and the surprise appearance by Lincoln -stumping former President Bill Clinton and that coming out/not coming out maybe-drunk, still amazing speech by Jodie Foster . So let’s celebrate the added wonderment of watching the Globes in the internet age: Reliving the best, most random moments of sloshed-celebrity shenanigans as immortalized in animated GIF form! First, let Best Song winner Adele and her impromptu Skyfall high-five with James Bond himself, Daniel Craig , delight you all over again. 1. Let the Skyfall… up top! 2. Can’t forget Tommy Lee Jones’ ebullient reaction to Wiig & Ferrell’s Hope Springs laffers! What would Thaddeus Stevens do? (Probably the same thing.)

Welp Jamie Foxx Says He Has To “Be White” In Order To Work In Hollywood Via RadarOnline Jamie Foxx isn’t shy about sharing his views on the differences between black people and white people. The Academy Award winning actor, who was snubbed for his performance in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained at the Golden Globe nominations on Thursday, candidly sounded off in the December/January issue of VIBE about how everything in his life is built around race, and RadarOnline.com has all the details. “As black folks we’re always sensitive,” Foxx said. “As a black person it’s always racial. I come into this place to do a photo shoot and they got Ritz crackers and cheese — I’ll be like, ain’t this a b*tch. Y’all didn’t know black people was coming. What’s with all this white sh*t? By the same token, if there is fried chicken and watermelon I’ll say ain’t this a b*tch? So, no matter what we do as black people it’s always gonna be that.” Jamie went on to talk about how he has to alter his behavior to assimilate to Hollyweird culture. Every single thing in my life is built around race,” he explained. “I don’t necessarily speak it because you can’t. But the minute I leave my house, I gotta put my other jacket on and say, ‘Hey, Thomas, Julian and Greg.’ And I gotta be a certain person.” Leonardo DiCaprio, who was part of the VIBE roundtable interview along with Kerry Washington, didn’t understand Foxx’s name references, to which VIBE clarified, “Those are white people.” “No, some of those are black,” Foxx corrected. “But when I get home my other homies are like ‘how was your day?’ Well, I only had to be white for at least eight hours today, [or] I only had to be white for four hours. Everything we do is that.” He also explained how he feels that whites and blacks react to movies differently. “Black people watch a movie different than white folks,” he said. “When you watch Inglourious Basterds, Jewish people have a more quiet response. [Whispers] ‘I can’t believe they did that.’ When black people don’t like something it’s like: [louder] ‘Ay dawg, why Olivia Pope went down like that. That sh*t is f*cked up.’ “Because there’s certain things that we watch as black people that if we don’t agree with it, we not only turn off the movie but we turn off that person. When we feel like the character was compromised by the white establishment.” Jamie makes some valid points about the black perspective, but obviously he doesn’t speak for all black folks. What do you think? Is any of Jamie’s rhetoric legit?
I’m not exactly sure what Jessica Alba and Megan Fox were doing at the Golden Globe nominations ceremony the other day, it’s not like either of them are known for their award-worthy acting. But it does give us a chance to pit two of our own MILF of the Year contenders against one another. They both look good, but I was hoping for some kind of epic MILF arms race between these two. Well, MILF cleavage race is more like it. Now, who’s going to make the first move? » view all 45 photos Related Articles: Megan Fox’s Hotness Comes Out Of Hiding Megan Fox Assumes The Position Megan Fox’s Cleavage Parade Continues Megan Fox Cleans Up Pretty Nicely Photos: WENN.com
