Down goes Harry Styles! Down goes Harry Styles! No, ladies, not in the way you've likely fantasized about for years. Instead, for the second time in a matter of months, the best known member of One Direction has taken a big tumble on stage. It happened the first time during a show in San Diego in July. And then it happened during a concert in Toronto on Thursday evening. Check out the epic mishap here, compare it to other times singers have fallen on stage and take a deep breath: Harry is okay, folks. He's just fine.
TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting may yet survive the Josh Duggar molestation scandal , but network execs are seriously considering giving Josh the chop. As we reported Friday, TLC pulled 19 Kids and Counting from its lineup as it mulls what do to next in the wake of this incredible turn of events. The network says it is “saddened and troubled” by recent revelations that Josh was the subject of a police investigation for sexual abuse in his teens. At least some, and perhaps all of the alleged victims were his own sisters; Duggar was never charged and the statute of limitations has since passed. Obviously, the Duggar family’s harshest critics will push for the show to get axed, given the severity (not to mention hypocrisy) of Josh’s actions. Their staunch defenders will conversely hope to see 19 Kids and Counting continue, full steam ahead, once the media firestorm blows over a bit. A middle ground option, said to be under serious consideration at TLC, would be to proceed with the show, but only after firing Josh Duggar. If Jim Bob, Michelle and the rest of their kids would agree to this (and they may well not even entertain it), it may be their best chance to stay on TV. View Slideshow: 21 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals Josh has resigned from the Family Research Council , but moved out of the Duggar compound years ago and has his own life and family at this point. In other words, he would be the easiest of the 19 Kids and Counting to logistically remove, and it’s unlikely the show would suffer a big ratings hit. Well, it might well take a huge one because of what he did to his sisters, but not because Josh suddenly wouldn’t grace viewers with his presence. TLC’s research indicates that Jill and Jessa Duggar are the driving forces behind its ratings surge in recent seasons, and that’s not likely to change. Of course, the family could insist that it’s all or nothing and greatly complicate this theoretical maneuver. Who knows how it will play out at this point. Cancelation could be the only real option if all of 19 Kids’ big advertisers bail, but the show is also renowned for its a strong, loyal evangelical base. Would removing Josh but keeping the show on satisfy critics and allow things to go back to normal for TLC and the rest of the Duggars?

Someone has cast an attractive spell on the cast of Harry Potter. After Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) appeared shirtless on the cover of Attitude Magazine , it got us to thinking about the young actors and actresses who have sky-rocketed to fame via the Harry Potter movie franchise. We met them as children. And now we do feel a tad gross to be ogling them as adults. But it's not our fault Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and many others have grown into such sexy young men and women. Really, it's not! Check out then-and-now photos of the main Harry Potter cast to see just how far these kids have come: 1. Daniel Radcliffe Daniel Radcliffe then? A boy wizard with glasses. Daniel Radcliffe now? A young man whose magic wand is wanted by women around the world. 2. Matthew Lewis Holy Longbottom! Matthew Lewis has given fans a new way to look at his character’s last name with the way he has grown up. 3. Rupert Grint Talk about a gorgeous Ginger! Rupert Grint has grown into a ravishing redhead, that much is certain. 4. Emma Watson Hermione isn’t just a hottie nowadays. She’s also a smartie, having graduated from Brown University. 5.

Especially when that bad boy grows up to look like Tom Felton, no? View Slideshow
Recently P.S. 116, an elementary school in NYC, decided to stop giving out homework all together, based on studies that say homework isn’t very helpful for students. While the school has received both praise and criticism for this, they could be on to something.
Winter is not coming. As millions of irritated Americans know by now, winter is here . But dragons are definitely coming to Game of Thrones Season 5; fully grown, dangerous dragons that we’re afraid Daenerys won’t even be able to control. Along those lines, check out the first official poster for the return of this epic drama… and someone tell Tyrion to run! It appears as if everyone’s favorite diminutive Westeros resident is on a ship in this image, which makes sense. When we last saw Tyrion, he had put multiple arrows into the chest of his toilet-bound father (ummm…. SPOILER ALERT!) and went on the lam. Does this poster tease imminent death for Tyrion? George R.R. Martin did recently tease a handful of shocking deaths to come. They will even take book followers by surprise. HBO has also released the first clip from Game of Thrones Season 5 . It features Jon Snow and Mance: Game of Thrones Season 5 Clip Game of Thrones Season 5 will take viewers to Dorne for the first time and premiere on Sunday, April 12.

We’re heading to the hometown of Jenny from the block on tonight’s round of American Idol Season 14 auditions! Welcome to New York! Since Keith can’t be there, Adam Lambert , American Idol Season 8 runner up, has graciously agreed to judge in the hot Aussie’s stead. Sal Valentinetti, who might be auditioning for the midlife crisis version of Jersey Shore , kicks off the night with “Fly Me To The Moon.” (This guy is only 19. There’s no way he’s only 19. SOMEONE GET HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE!) He wins $100 off Harry for knowing the other title to the song and then gets a “this isn’t the competition for you” from the crooner. Sal’s retort? “No offense, but your albums sell…” Adam and Jennifer send him to Hollywood. J. None from Orlando, Florida brought along his friend “Mr. Crispy,” a teddy bear. He got the bear when he was 3 and had to go into the hospital for asthma treatments. He goes with Bobby Brown’s “My Prerogative” and it’s a fun little throwback. He even sticks it with Harry making Mr. Crispy dance all over Jennifer during the audition. J.None and Mr. Crispy get a ticket. Hailing from East Brunswick, New Jersey, Jax has a father who was injured at the recovery site during 9/11. Her singing became therapeutic for him. She plays the piano and sings a Beatles number earning a little smile from Adam. But she sings with her eyes closed and plays with her hair sort of randomly. With high praise from all three judges, she’s in. Singing violinist Jonny Arco was once arrested for playing in the subway. He served 20 days with no bail. For playing violin in the subway. He’s a pretty odd dude who auditions with Radiohead and makes it totally weird. Harry says he’s super talented (NO!) but this isn’t the competition for him. Jennifer and Adam agree and send him home. Najah Lewis is another subway performer who will sometimes perform for up to two hours making around $300 a night. Singing “Payphone” by Maroon 5, she definitely makes a mark. She definitely makes the song her own, and while it doesn’t always feel like her guitar playing matches her lyrical stylings, but her voice is captivating. Adam and Harry love how she pulled them into the song. Jennifer hands her a golden ticket. Tion Phipps and James Killian Dunn are there to sing for one reason and one reason only: to win J.Lo’s heart. They might not have left the room with her digits, but they did leave with tickets. Shi Scott has great hair and is inexperienced singing in front of people. (Okay, so her name is Shayna.) She freaks out right before singing and Glambert tells her to relax and take a deep breath. Then she launches into “Valerie.” Her voice is quirky, but it doesn’t sound original. Harry calls her an Amy Winehouse impersonator. Jennifer tells her to tap into the emotions and sing it. Adam calls her cute but doesn’t know if she’s ready. Harry and Jennifer are the yes votes to Adam’s no. Apparently Adam Lambert’s a bit of a hard nut to crack when it comes to auditioning. He’s crushing dreams right and left. All the more reason to love him. Eric Lopez walks into the room and sings “The Show Must Go On” by Queen. When he finishes, Adam and Jennifer giggle. Adam says he hit some great notes with some good tone and pitch but his performance was disjointed. Harry thought he had some nice moments but doesn’t know how far he’s going to go. Jennifer gives him a no and says she just doesn’t know where he’s going to fit in the landscape. Adam and Harry send him to Hollywood. Maddie Walker auditioned last year and didn’t make it. But she’s back. (Duh?) Courtney Zahn hears that she’s polished from Adam. Jackie Nese tries to go Gaga but she’s too articulate for Gaga. They all get tickets to Hollywood. (I wouldn’t have given the last one a ticket.) Qaasim Middleton is 18 years old and from Brooklyn. His mom outs him as a virgin and keeps talking to the camera about his absent sex life before he can audition. (Could’ve been after. Either way, inappropriate. And hilarious.) He’s fun. Jennifer loved it. Harry’s impressed with everything about him. Adam’s excited to see what’s in store for Qaasim in Hollywood. After they give a hopeful a no, Harry ponders what it must be like for Adam to be sitting on the opposite side of the table and asks Adam to audition again. So he does, singing “Bohemian Rhapsody” again. The producers splice together footage of his original audition with this one to show us just how far Adam’s come in six years. (A long way. A long, long way.) Another Adam comes into the room, Adam Ezegelian. He’s in school but he designs toys. And he draws caricatures. He auditions with “Born To Be Wild” and even though he’s sort of this larger than life personality who doesn’t seem to be taking things seriously, he’s talented. Adam asks him to sing another song just to get a different feel for him, and they fall in love with him over his Jason Mraz rendition. He’s going to Hollywood. Katherine Winston gets a golden ticket and her success plays while the failures of so many others roll on by. Their tears make a great backing track for her segment. (We know people cry when they don’t make it. We don’t need to see the tears or the slamming doors to know people are upset not to make it.) Travis Findley is a 20 year old producer who was supposed to go to Berkeley. He had to give up his college dreams when the money to get there became an issue. He opts to have the piano back him up on “Stay,” and while the song is a great choice, the piano isn’t. He has serious talent and makes the song his own but the piano backing is…rigid. He gets an easy yes. Yanni G (Arianna) and her boyfriend Nick Fradiani audition together. These things always have a way of going south. She sings the cup song and Jennifer’s worried her voice isn’t big enough for the competition even though it’s great. Nick plays Peter Gabriel and it’s clear that he has star potential. (Unless he’s hiding a balding dome under that hat, he could be a model.) Nick’s in an “extremely competitive” genre this year, and that genre would be the White Guy With Guitar genre. He makes it. She doesn’t. Hollywood Anderson is a busker in New York City. He’s fun. Really fun. He sings an original number he wrote about a girl he fell in love with at college. With the first lines out of his mouth, Jennifer’s covered in goosies. Harry calls him possibly the best audition of the four-city run. He only learned to play the guitar a year ago after being homeless and living on the subway. He gets his ticket and starts to cry. There could not have been a better way to end the night. Hollywood Anderson is going somewhere. Next week the judges are heading to Minneapolis and we’ll be right here recapping it all.
Justin Bieber has grabbed plenty of crotch in his day (his own, primarily), but this latest Instagram photo feels different, like it’s supposed to MEAN something. Like a direct shot at his growing chorus of critics. You callin’ THIS Photoshopped, haters?! Bieber posted the above photo Wednesday afternoon without a caption. Not that you need one when you’ve got a picture worth 1,000 words. If not more. To recap, for anyone living under a rock: Justin posed shirtless for an underwear campaign for Calvin Klein, along with Lara Stone, who Bieliebers promptly threatened to kill online. A number Internet sleuths quickly decided that Justin Bieber stuffs his crotch and/or was Photoshopped by Calvin Klein within an inch of his life. Bieber’s legal team threatened to sue Breathe Heavy , a Britney Spears fan site, that claimed to have an un-retouched photo of his CK ad. Breathe Heavy took down the image(s) that made Justin look much punier, both above and below the belt, and apologized to his 12-year-old fans. A great many people remain unconvinced, because it’s still Justin Bieber, that Justin Bieber could possibly be this jacked or well endowed. Cue Justin’s pic from today. ‘Nuff said? You can’t tell the length or girth of what’s under the towel (thank goodness), but his abs do look pretty chiseled. Gotta give credit where due there. One burning question, though: Who took the photo he put on Instagram? Selena Gomez? Hailey Baldwin? His mom? Scooter Braun? One of his harem of model “friends”? His trainer? Share your theories in the comments, and scroll through the Calvin Klein gallery if you simply can’t get enough of a buff Justin Bieber shirtless, below Justin Bieber Calvin Klein Ads 1. Justin Bieber Calvin Klein Photo HOLY HOTNESS! Justin Bieber poses here in nothing but his underwear, as he’s an official spokesperson for Calvin Klein. And officially sexy, as well!
