“We have seen Minka and Ramon talking in his trailer way after hours, and often late into the night,” a source tells People of Kelly and Charlie#39;s Angels actor Ramon Rodriguez “They have been together long after they need to be for the show.” Seemingly, it would be very difficult to move on from Derek Jeter. But has Minka Kelly already done so? It was announced this week that the shortstop and the actress have ended their three-year relationship and, already, rumors are surfacing that Kel

“We are still right in the line of fire,” McDonnell said in an interview with MSNBC. “We#39;ve got two or four hours now we#39;re expecting the worst part of the storm, the highest winds. “The storm surge estimates have gone up in the last hour to now 5 to 7 feet, which means that some of the areas of Norfolk and Portsmouth will actually have 9 feet above mean low water mark, so it#39;s going to be significant flooding in those areas.

“They seem very in love, very cute,” said an employee at the Maje boutique on rue Saintonge, where the couple spent more than 90 minutes together, kissing often as Watson modeled wares for Simmons. “She did her own shopping – she knows what she likes,” adds the employee. “She picked out outfits and he made some suggestions, picking out items which she tried on in the dressing cabin, then coming to model for him.” What#39;s the international sign for a man in love? Joining a woman shopping. S
The actor Brad Pitt, 47, was shooting his new movie World War Z in Glasgow, Scotland, where more than 700 extras were packed into George Square to film chaotic scenes of a terrifying zombie invasion. But the terror turned real when a female extra slipped amid the trampling crowd. Lately he#39;s been busy battling zombies, but on Thursday Brad Pitt stepped into the role of real-life rescuer. “I don#39;t think she could believe it when Brad picked her up,” a set insider told The Scottish Sun. “H
Odd Future’s Tyler, the Creator talks about his achievements on “When I Was 17.” By Kara Warner Tyler, The Creator Photo: MTV News This week’s new episode of “When I Was 17,” airing Saturday (August 27) at 11 a.m., is all about three outspoken rising stars in the hip-hop and rap communities who also happen to be VMA Best New Artist nominees. The most outspoken and unpredictable of the three is Odd Future standout Tyler, the Creator , who revealed that his 17th year featured two career-making moments, the release of his album and his first-ever “concert” performance. “When I was 17, I released The Odd Future Tape. That was my first album as a collective,” Tyler said, adding that the release led to the group’s first-ever performance. “My first performance was a talent show. I didn’t set us up for it, Hodgy did,” he recalled. “I was really excited because I’d never performed before.” Evidently, Tyler went all out during the show and at one point ended up dropping his pants for a not-so-receptive crowd. “I was jumping around, pulled my pants down. During parts of the songs, I would go in the crowd and just wild out and go crazy,” he said. “The guy who put it together, his mom and other family members were in the front. I didn’t know that they were heavy church people.” Unsurprisingly, the group’s performance did not receive an encore at that particular venue. “We were talking about 666 onstage and stuff,” Tyler said. “And then they just cut the music and were like, ‘Hey, get the f— out of here.” Tyler isn’t looking back with any regrets, of course. He’s got two huge VMA nominations to think about, Best New Artist and Video of the Year. “I’m really excited,” Tyler told MTV News of his Video of the Year nod. “Shout out to Ron Artest. If I lose to any of those wackass videos, I’m gonna be mad because they all suck — except for Adele’s.” The Cali rapper/ producer/ director was more willing to discuss his fellow Best New Artist nominees. “The Best New Artist thing, that’s cool,” he said. ” Wiz [Khalifa] is a really good dude and I’ve been a fan of his music, so if he wins I’ll be pretty excited. I wanna win that for sure, but Wiz is awesome, I’ve been listening to him since ’08,” he said. “Even Kreayshawn , she’s cool. So if she wins that too, I’ll be pretty stoked. But you know, I wanna win, I’m just gonna keep it 100.” “When I Was 17” — this week featuring VMA nominees Big Sean, Tyler, the Creator and Kreayshawn — airs Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV. The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following the Selena Gomez-hosted pre-show at 8.
