Helen Flanagan is by far the hottest UK celeb out there and these pictures of her in sexy lingerie prove that. However, I don’t recall ever seeing her topless. I did a quick Google search and came up empty. That said, if we band together and each put in 2 dollars, I think we could collect enough money to interest Helen in a topless Hollywood Tuna shoot. If any of you have free time, start a Kickstarter and let’s make this happen.
Julio Yanez takes the old adage “rubbing people the wrong way” to a new level. The Boone, N.C., resident was recently arrested after he allegedly entered a woman’s unlocked apartment, got into her bed and tried to give her a back rub. She apparently wasn’t into it. The 29-year-old had already been arrested for similar offenses twice before. In a July incident, a victim told Yanez to leave, but he refused and tried to give her a back rub again. The victim rebuffed him, and he was later arrested. After that incident, additional women came forward and claimed Yanez entered their rooms and tried to initiate back rubs in both April and June. Whatever his intentions might have been, Yanez has since been charged with multiple counts of breaking, entering and assault on a female.
Apparently it’s ’90s Day on THG. First, we received news that a Reality Bites TV show was ordered by an actual network. Wait, no, sorry. It was NBC. But still, Reality Bites, people! Hours later … Toad the Wet Sprocket is officially reuniting! First-pump/WTH?! Toad the Wet Sprocket – All I Want We repeat: Toad the Wet Sprocket has a new album coming out October 15.

Who should open for them? Vote below! Gin Blossoms Better Than Ezra Big Head Todd and the Monsters Cranberries Faith No More Other (Cite in Comments) View Poll »
Ever since we first heard of The Canyons , we all knew this would be a special film. And by special, I mean awful. Lindsay Lohan ‘s return to the big screen with this Kickstarter project hasn’t been met with applause and accolades as perhaps Lohan had hoped. In fact, out of every review of The Canyons there was only one that might be seen as positive, from Scott Foundas of Variety . “Lohan may not go as deep or as far as Brando, but with her puffy skin, gaudy hoop earrings and thick eye makeup, there’s a little-girl-lost quality to the onetime Disney teen princess that’s very affecting. Whenever she’s onscreen, she projects a sense of just barely holding on to that precarious slide area in the shadow of the Hollywood sign.” Lohan, of course, responded to this review via Twitter saying, “Wow… feeling humbled and so much gratitude.” Is gratitude really the emotion one would be feeling in this position? I get the impression that Foundas was perhaps describing Lindsay Lohan the person as opposed to whatever character Linday Lohan happened to be portraying. “Puffy skin” is not often a compliment. Positive or not, Variety ‘s review of The Canyons was the only one that could even be slightly interpreted as such. There were plenty more out there saying pretty much the exact opposite, makes one wonder if Foundas saw the same movie. The Canyons Trailer A lame, one-dimensional and ultimately dreary look at peripheral Hollywood types not worth anyone’s time either onscreen or in real life. — Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter Lohan (who hasn’t carried a hit since 2005’s Herbie: Fully Loaded ) is more than believable, but neither the script nor her performance quite explains the fatal attraction that Tara seems to exert. In his first non-porn role, Deen is excellent as the icy Christian. — John Hazelton, Screendaily Lohan is a real actress, but in this movie she’s puffy and overwrought and unfocussed, and she weeps a lot. At times, needy and confused, she’s touching, but you’re not sure whether she’s crying in character, or lamenting her participation in a low-budget movie, or grieving over her own troubles. Whatever it is, she offers the only palpable emotion in the controlled wastes of The Canyons . The Canyons might have been more fun if it had a trashier, or less austere, style. — David Denby, New Yorker Here, Lohan is as bland and unfocused as the material. During the once scene that allows her [to] degrade her oppressive boyfriend, her robotic delivery freezes the possibilities of bona fide tension (as well as titillation, for whatever that’s worth). — Eric Kohn, Indiewire

It has been almost 10 years since Garden State first hit theaters, and Braff hasn’t returned to the role of writer/director since. Until now. Braff, citing frustrations with the traditional Hollywood funding system, has taken to Kickstarter to crowdfund his new film, Wish I Was Here . The new film will act as a follow-up in tone, though not in story, to Garden State . In the very well-done and funny video, Braff explains that he was inspired by the incredible support fans showed for the Veronica Mars Kickstarter effort, and decided to take his own project to the site. Braff wrote the script, and will also direct and star. Head to the Kickstarter page to see the video, check out the pledge rewards, and donate to his cause.
It’s a good week to be Kristen Bell. First, fans helped blow up Kickstarter and assured that a Veronica Mars movie would be released some time in 2014. And then today… the actress gave birth! Fiance Dax Shepard Tweeted the excited news just a few moments ago, telling the world: “Lincoln Bell Shepard is here. She has mom’s beauty and dad’s obsession with breasts. Hooray!” The House of Lies star and Parenthood announced they were expecting last November. They have been engaged since 2009 and this is the first child for both. We have a feeling she will like sloths .
