Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith are once again battling divorce rumors. The couple, who were all over the tabloids last year due to their allegedly impending split , are back in the news because Hollywood Life claims the pair has put its $42 million mansion up for sale. Naturally, this means they are headed for a break-up… right? Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith to Sell Home? Not exactly, especially considering that publicist Karynne Tencer told The New York Daily News that this report is “false” and the Smiths “home is not on the market.” The 25,000 square-foot residence took over four years to construct and sits on seven acres. In 2011, Will Smith told Architectural Digest that the home’s circular floor plan is meant to “create an infinite cycle that represented what Jada and I hoped for our love.” In other words: no way will the couple ever part with it! It represents their healthy relationship. A healthy relationship that does NOT include an open marriage , Jada made clear in a Facebook message this April, adding in an interview with Redbook that the stars’ 16-year union is in no danger whatsoever. “What is the thing that Will could do to make me not love him? That would make me abandon him? I can’t think of one. I’m sorry,” she told the magazine.

Selena Gomez may finally have moved on from Justin Bieber . George Shelley, a member of the boy band Union J, told Yahoo! on Sunday that he’s very much in touch with Gomez, telling the site: “We are messaging!” Why might this mean more than mere texts and emails? Because Shelley also recently admitted that he has feelings for Bieber’s ex, telling the world: “I’ve got an undying crush on her. It’s the whole Disney thing. I love her.” Selena reportedly responded to such kind words by telling Shelley to call her, which he did. It’s unclear now where things stand between the artists, but it’s VERY clear what those close to Gomez want her to do. Taylor Swift hates Bieber and is pushing her friend to seek romance elsewhere. Moreover, according to Hollywood Life sources, Selena’s parents feel the same way. An insider says they believe Justin is “a really bad person” and “they said she has to rid him from her life, otherwise they can’t be a part of her life – her new baby sister included.” Ouch.
Oh early America, the land of opportunity. The home of thoughts free from religious persecution. The birthplace of the idea that a baby born out of wedlock would be covered in hair. Wait, what? Check out the story below! America’s First Sex Manual (1766) You have to give Mr. William Salmon credit. People are much more likely to take sex advice from Greek philosopher Aristotle than a man named Salmon. While the manual does suggest that women enjoy sex (scandalous!), it was best for women to wait for marriage because virginity was “the boast and pride of the fair sex”. Not quite as progressive would be Mr. Salmon’s take on sex outside that between a man and a woman claiming that it was responsible for “world with confusion and debauchery, has brought diseases on the body, consumptions on estates, and eternal ruin to the soul, if not repented of.” Here I was just wondering where my estate caught consumption. Thanks William Salmon!
Yes, Robert Pattinson stopped by Kristen Stewart’s home this month. But a sources tells Hollywood Life that “work” continues to come first for both stars and a rekindled romance is not in the cards at the moment. Much to the chagrin of Stewart. She misses her man, even as just a good friend. “It’s Rob who has distanced himself from Kristen ,” this insider reports. “He rarely hangs out in the same area as Kristen and her friends. It’s just easier for him this way. He’s kind of had to start a new life with new friends.” The anonymous pal goes on to say that Stewart has major regrets over kissing Rupert Sanders (“She feels like she and Rob would be still be together if she had never cheated…”) and that there’s a void in the Twilight Saga beauty’s life. “She misses their friendship the most. He was the one person who really got her, who really understood her.” This may explain Stewart’s recent meltdown. She EXPLODED at a paparazzo a couple weeks ago, which could easily have been the result of all the tension and sadness inside of her. Let’s hope these kids both end up happy.
Desiree Hartsock was so jaded by the James Case saga that she wanted to leave The Bachelorette. But does she really end up with no one, as reported? The Bachelorette spoilers shed light on that, but regardless of how accurate those are, Desiree took it hard when James’ shadiness was exposed. As a girl who made a terrible rap video about the “right reasons” for being on the show, The Bachelorette star found it to be a tough pill to swallow. After James allegedly implied to his co-stars that he saw his “journey” as a stepping stone to becoming The Bachelor next January, Des was hurt. This followed Bryden Vukasin abruptly leaving after flying all the way to Germany, and Des learning that Ben Scott totes had ulterior motives too. Reports even suggest she almost abandoned the show after this, or that it contributed to her picking no one , depending on what or who you believe. “There were several moments where she said ‘I want to go home,'” a show insider revealed of Des’ mindset. “She thought ‘What else is going to happen?'” According to the source, Desiree went so far as to have “multiple conversations with producers about going home. There were a lot of tears behind the scenes.” “It got very emotional and real. This was not an easy process. What you didn’t seen on camera was how much she really struggled with letting James go.” The insider tells Hollywood Life that “James completely sabotaged himself, but Desiree was very discouraged … she wondered if anyone was there for her.” Who is there for Des? And does it work out in the end? Follow the link above for Bachelorette spoilers …
Chris Brown Allegedly Removes Rihanna Collabo From His Album Lovesick loverboy Chris Brown might be still exchanging subliminal disses with his ex bajan boo-thang Rihanna on social networks, but word on the street is that actual communication between the two since ending their rollercoaster relationship has been non-existent. via Hollywood Life Chris and Rihanna are one of Hollywood’s hottest on-again, off-again couples, but they are definitely off right now. A source close to the R&B singer explains to HollywoodLife.com exclusively that while the strong feelings will never fully die down, the former couple is currently not even on speaking terms. The couple who has only had breaks — not breakups — seem to have finally called it quits for good this time. A source close to Chris Brown tells HollywoodLife that he and Rihanna will always have love and respect for each other, but a romantic love is out of the question right now. “He’s not featuring Rihanna these days,” the source reveals, and the way he describes Chris and RiRi’s status seems to really put a nail in the coffin: “They don’t talk. They’re done. Nada. Nothing.” Rihanna and Chris had recently seemed to be communicating with each other — though only on social networks — by exchanging disses back and forth. And while that sort of fighting can get nasty, nothing is more serious than dead silence. Fighting means exes still have feelings for each other; silence suggests they’re moving on. The insider close to Chris admits that “the respect is always going to be there, the love too,” but it stops there. This “source” also revealed that Rih and her ex Breezy-boo actually recoded a collabo for his album, but that Chris requested the song be left off following their break up. “They’re not on that level right now. He’s not thinking about her in any capacity.” Chris is obviously making that clear by leaving her off his speed dial — and off his album! The former couple recorded a collaboration that was set to appear on Chris’ upcoming album, X, but no longer, another source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively: “Just saw the working track list for X yesterday — Rihanna is not on there. Record execs wanted that song on there, but Chris said he would rather not and wouldn’t allow the record to be released unless they took it off.” Hmmmm. If you believe this “source,” sounds like Chris and Rih-Rih are donezo for good this time. What do you think, Bossip fam?
Chris Brown Parties With Karrueche For His Birthday While Rihanna is clear across the country twerkin’ it out on stage for her ‘Diamonds’ world tour, her blonde-haired boo-thang Breezy was spotted out and about in Lala land partying it up at his pre-birthday bash with none other than his ex Karrueche. via Hollywood Life Chris Brown has never been one to follow traditional dating codes. For example, his ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, was in attendance for his Los Angeles birthday party on May 3 at the Emerson Theatre while his current girlfriend Rihanna was all the way on the other coast. The R&B singer rolled into the Emerson to celebrate his 24th birthday (it’s the first party of many this weekend). He was looking suave and casual in khakis and an open button-down shirt, as he welcomed a ton of big stars to his b-day soiree. Christina Milian and David Hasselhoff were just a few celebs that were in attendance. Not to mention Karrueche. Chris’ ex hit the Emerson for the birthday bash wearing a short black dress, an edgy denim jacket, and a pair of loud, white fringed boots. But while it might seem given that Rih would be none-too-happy about Breezy bottle poppin’ with his ex, sources from their camps allegedly claim that Rih aint go t no worries when it comes to Chris and Karrueche’s “friendship.” Rihanna was all the way on the East Coast because of her “Diamonds” tour, and while any girlfriend might get nervous about their man partying with an ex, this is nothing new for Chris, RiRi, and KT. Since Rihanna and Chris started dating again, Chris has been seen partying with his ex from time to time, but HollywoodLife.com has reported EXCLUSIVELY that it’s not really an issue for the couple. “They’re cool friends,” a source said about Chris and Karrueche, adding that he and Rihanna are “into each other way too f**king much” for something so small like this to break them up. Karrueche meanwhile has admitted that “she’s cool with everything” between Chris and Rihanna, a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “She’s been down with Chris’ relationship and he’s been down with hers.” All this ‘everybody is cool with everything’ talk sounds pretty suspect, especially since badgal Rih-Rih has been known to subliminally pop off at Karrueche whenever Breezy starts in on his dirty-dog behavior. Peep a few more pics of Breezy, Karrueche, and their friends partying it up in Lala land on the flip…
May 3, 2013 – NEW YORK – Today, Jay Penske —Founder, Chairman and CEO of Penske Media Corporation (PMC), which owns the Movieline brand—announced website Movieline.com’s reinvention : a bold launch into the online video space. Penske said, “We’re seeing the growing demand for online video and the appetite advertisers have to reach these focused audiences. Over the last year, we’ve had incredible success with our multi-platform video entertainment news network Entertainment News Television (ENTV) and are eager to expand our reach in the field.” Starting immediately, Movieline will begin producing video content under its distinctive brand. These new segments will be three-fold: Movie Previews, Talent Previews, and News stories. All segments will be hosted by Tatiana Carrier and will run approximately 2 to 3 minutes in length.

These videos will include the film’s storyline, scene footage, cast interviews, and red carpet moments. As an added bonus, these Movieline segments will also feature a unique and interesting tidbit about the film – to further pique a potential viewer’s interest in the film and also enhance the eventual movie-going experience. Said Davis, “We wanted to create the perfect complement to movie trailers – a more dynamic and all-inclusive segment targeted to moviegoers’ interests, delivering them the information they need to make a decision on what to see at the theaters, while also creating a library of evergreen content that works for DVD, VOD, and all other release moments in the life of a movie.” The next wave of Movieline segments will feature film talent—top actors, directors, and producers—previewing the films and projects each has in the release pipeline. All of these segments will be supported with breaking news updates powered by PMC’s reporting prowess that includes a dynamic range of today’s most respected entertainment brands: Variety , Deadline Hollywood , Hollywood Life , TVLine and more. Yet another unique aspect of Movieline’s reinvention is that PMC will be launching this experience on the YouTube platform, with syndication to other platforms to follow.

Jenelle Evans’ former boss James Duffy is apparently not a big fan. He posted excerpts from the Teen Mom 2 star’s private journal online earlier this week, which follows his previous Tweeting of various Jenelle Evans nude photos. Memories … According to a friend of Jenelle’s, who spoke to Hollywood Life, it all started when her old roommate stole that journal and handed it over to Duffy. Now Jenelle is steaming mad, and pressing charges. “Jenelle’s journal was in her bedroom for two weeks while she was living [with her mom], who has been in and out of the hospital for almost having a stroke,” Kristin Raeon says. ”Her sister has cancer, and it was Easter, so Jenelle moved back home.” “Julia, her old roommate, got so mad before she even came and got all of her stuff, that she went into Jenelle’s room and took her journal that she had from rehab.” “Charges are being pressed against Julia for that and stealing Jenelle’s radio.” Julia never published the journal, however, so that’s on James Duffy, who sources close to the reality star say has been harassing Jenelle Evans for years. “The guy has no life,” Kristin says. “He even came at me and attacked me because of my friendship with her. He claims Jenelle was sleeping with him. “Jenelle doesn’t send him anything. Anything [James] gets of Jenelle is all from other people, ex-boyfriends, or fake. He [lies] to all of his Facebook ‘fans.’” Wait wait wait, hold on … James Duffy has Facebook fans? In any case, Kristin does have some good news to report: “Jenelle’s [ heroin issue ] is in the past … She and Courtland [Rogers] aren’t involving themselves in nearly half as much of the drama as they used to be in.” That’s good at least … but can she stay clean? Yes. This time will be the charm. No. Too weak. Too many enablers. View Poll »
