Kylie Jenner Goes Blonde, Looks… Sort of Good?

Kylie Jenner may or may not have breast implants . She may or may not be married to Tyga . She may or may not be posing for a bikini selfie at this exact second. (Okay, she almost definitely is .) But Kylie has absolutely debuted a new hairstyle on Instagram and – dare we say it? – she looks sort of awesome in it. The 19-year old has shared numerous pictures of her new look on social media, not including a caption related to her hair with any of them. She’s received mostly positive feedback from followers (“LOVE,” wrote one person), as many are likely trying to discern whether the blonde bob is a wig or Kylie’s real hair. Considering her fake lips and her allegedly phony boobs, it’s never easy to take Jenner seriously when it comes to her body. Real or fake, however, Kylie has been spotted out and about with the fresh locks, so she appears committed to this style for the time being. This, of course, is not the first… or second… or third time that Kylie Jenner has gone blonde. She dyed her hair this same color in September of last year, although it didn’t take her long to return to her natural brown just days later. She also went blonde in September of 2015, commenting at length on Instagram at that time over how she was going ” ashy dirty blonde for the fall ” and “coming” for sister Khloe, who had also recently made herself into a blonde. We’re not sure why members of this famous family are so into this look. Khloe, Kim and Kylie, especially, have each taken turns over the years in trying to have more fun as blondes, although none of the efforts have lasted for very long. Here. Click through the following photo gallery and try to decide who’s look has been best: View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian and Kompany: See Their Kraziest Hairstyles! It’s probably the one Kylie is rocking right now, wouldn’t you agree? “We used “North Star” “Duchess” & “Sandy” from #TheRoyalPeachPalette today,” Kylie simply wrote as a caption to the second image posted above, adding: “Thank you thank you guys for the love today can’t believe we sold out so fast. Follow @kyliecosmetics to stay updated on the next restock.” She’s referring here to makeup. But there’s a good chance this brand new look is nothing but a way to promote her cosmetics line. Still, that doesn’t change the fact that the hairstyle and color exists and that this is what Kylie Jenner looks like at the moment. Check out another photo of the blonde bob and then sound off below… … WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Eternal Victim Taylor Swift Considering Filing Police Charges Against Kim And Kanye For Proving She’s A Liar With Secret Recording

Taylor Swift Considers Criminal Charges Against Kanye And Kim Taylor Swift is once again riding the wave of being Kanye West’s “innocent little victim,” this time in hopes of getting the rapper and his wife each charged with a crime to corroborate her narrative. Of course, Taylor is now horrified that everyone knows that she knew all about Kanye West’s lyrics about her in “Famous” and was so flattered by it that she called it a ‘compliment…’ before flipping the script after the fact and pretending that Kanye used it to tear her down and take away from her accomplishments, or something. So naturally, she’s looking to shift the focus away from the lie she kept up for six months and onto the fact that KimYe committed a “crime” by recording and eventually exposing her… Via TMZ : Taylor Swift is thinking about filing a crime report against Kanye West for illegally recording their phone conversation, and against Kim Kardashian for publicly releasing the audio … TMZ has learned. Sources familiar with the situation tell us Taylor is undecided and is trying to think through the consequences of filing a police report. TMZ broke the story … when Taylor’s team found out about the recording, her lawyer fired off a letter to Kanye’s attorney, threatening legal action and notifying him the recording was a criminal violation … punishable as a felony. We’re told Kanye made the recording in the L.A. area — and in California, a party to a phone conversation cannot record it unless all parties agree. Taylor had no idea she was being recorded. Sadly, if that’s the law she may have a case. But even if she’s able to get some charges to stick…it won’t keep any of us from knowing the truth and seeing her for what she is. So we guess she has some things to think about if this is all about maintaining her damsel image… Splash/WENN

Guess Who’s Back! Has NeNe Leakes Reclaimed Her ‘RHOA’ Peach As A Full-Time Cast Member?

Will NeNe Leakes Return To RHOA? Seems like there are a lot of shake ups on Real Housewives of Atlanta next season. After NeNe pretty much promised to never return to deal with the “fake ladies” on the show, she popped right back up last season as a “guest star” — for a little over HALF the season. With a mostly positive relationship with the ladies this time around, having jazzed up the season a bit, and now a new partnership with “house husband” Peter Thomas …is NeNe poised for an official comeback? Not exactly…via TMZ : NeNe Leakes’ streak on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” is finally coming to an end … at least based on what’s NOT been going on during season 9 tapings. TMZ has learned they’ve been shooting for weeks now, and NeNe is nowhere in sight. It seemed like she was possibly coming back to the main cast after being named a guest last season. She’s been busy with a HSN clothing line, one woman tour, new game show and a stint on “Fashion Police.” Our ‘RHOA’ sources tell us producers have added at least one new cast member, and NeNe — the only remaining OG ATL housewife — doesn’t look to be part of plans going forward. We’re told “guest appearances” are always a possibility, but as of now producers aren’t counting on having NeNe. Well…NeNe loves to say how much more she has going on than the other reality wives. Looks like she’s just putting her money where her mouth is. Will you miss her? Instagram/Bravo

Christopher Nolan Defends Fans’ Irate Response to Dark Knight Rises Reviews

The Dark Knight Rises director Christopher weighed in about the brouhaha that flared this week after some passionate Batman fans threw a fit after a spattering of negative reviews, resulting in aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes’ decision to disable user comments for the time being. Nolan’s final stint in the trilogy is expected to fetch box office records this weekend and so far reviews have been mostly positive, but a few critics gave TDKR a thumbs down and some fans went ballistic. Wednesday night at the film’s London premiere, Nolan appeared to defend fans’ emotional response. [ GALLERY: Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway & Co. at the Dark Knight Rises premiere ] “I think the fans are very passionate about these characters the way a lot of people are very passionate. Batman’s been around for over 70 years and there’s a reason for that,” A.P. reported Nolan as saying. “He has a huge appeal, so I think you know people certainly respond to the character.” RT’s editor-in-chief Matt Atchity said in an open letter on the site that the venomous push-back may alter their policies going forward, changing its commenting system so that it no longer allows for anonymity. “You’ll have to stand by your comments, just like a critic does. So you’ll still be able to argue about a movie you haven’t seen, but people will know it was you,” wrote Atchity. In an unrelated bout of TDKR mini-controversy, Nolan also offered up his take on conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh’s opinion that the pic’s villain, “Bane” is a not so-subtle reference to presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s former employer Bain Capital, decrying the movie and its makers for maligning the former Massachusetts governor who continued to hold a major investment in the company after departing its day to day operations. Liberals have accused Romney and Bain of “outsourcing American jobs overseas.” “I’m not sure how to address something that bizarre, to be honest,” said Nolan. “I really don’t have an answer for it, it’s a very peculiar comment to make.” Morgan Freeman, who plays Lucius Fox in Rises called the whole thing “ridiculous.” The Bane character originated back in 1993, first appearing in DC Comics’ Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1 , according to Wikipedia.

‘Chronicle’ Makes Fourth Highest Super Bowl Debut

Found-footage film earns $22 million, beating out Daniel Radcliffe’s ‘Woman in Black.’ By Ryan J. Downey Dane DeHaan in “Chronicle” Photo: Alan Markfield/ 20th Century Fox The Super Bowl couldn’t stop another found-footage flick from topping the box office. Box-office receipts were up more than 30 percent from last year’s Super Bowl weekend as “Chronicle” took the #1 spot with Daniel Radcliffe’s first post-“Potter” flick, “The Woman in Black,” close behind at #2. “Chronicle” took in $22 million while “Woman in Black” earned $21 million, according to studio estimates. The feel-good Alaskan whale story “Big Miracle,” starring Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski (“The Office”), debuted at #4 with $8.5 million. Meanwhile, Super Bowl halftime performer Madonna saw her “W.E.” open with a ho-hum $45,000 in four theaters. Despite the film’s director earning a Golden Globe for her song from the movie, “W.E.” has suffered from mostly negative reviews. While it didn’t open as strongly as the “Paranormal Activity” movies, “Cloverfield” or last month’s found-footage flick, “The Devil Inside,” teen superhero-centered “Chronicle” enjoyed the fourth highest Super Bowl debut ever and took the #1 spot internationally. Considering the movie’s estimated production budget of $12 million, the found-footage phenomenon will undoubtedly continue. The modest success of “The Woman in Black” was good news for Radcliffe, who had yet to top-line a movie in a role as anyone other than “Harry Potter.” Its numbers were comparable with the 2006 remake of “When a Stranger Calls,” which was also a horror flick directed at teens that opened on Super Bowl weekend. Both Radcliffe’s ghost story and “Chronicle” earned mostly positive reviews. Last weekend’s #1 movie, “The Grey,” dropped to #3 with $9.5 million. The Liam Neeson vehicle, which, like “Big Miracle,” takes places in Alaska, has made $34.7 million thus far. “Underworld: Awakening” rounded out the top five with $5.6 million for a $53.4 million total. Awards season favorite “The Artist” and “The Iron Lady” (which has earned Meryl Streep another Oscar nomination) both passed the $20 million mark over the weekend. Each movie is playing at roughly 1,000 locations; “Chronicle,” by comparison, opened in 2,907. This weekend’s new releases include “The Vow,” which sees Rachel McAdams returning to source material from “The Notebook” author Nicholas Sparks, opposite Channing Tatum; Denzel Washington’s “Safe House”; “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, which is already doing solid business overseas; and the 3-D re-release of “Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace,” which is the first in a series of planned “Star Wars” 3-D re-releases over the next few years. Woody Harrelson’s corrupt cop drama “Rampart,” which reunites the actor with “The Messenger” writer/ director Oren Moverman, will open in limited release.

‘The Grey’: The Reviews Are In!

Critics give mostly positive reviews to the Liam Neeson’s wolf-punching thriller. By Kevin P. Sullivan Liam Neeson in “The Grey” Photo: Open Road Films For the third January in a row, Liam Neeson returns to kick ass more than any other 59-year-old we know. This time he isn’t taking down sex traffickers like in “Taken” or whatever he was fighting in “Unknown.” No, this time, it’s wolves. For a movie that was sold on the notion of wolf punching, “The Grey” has received primarily positive reviews for its deeper-than-you’d-think story and characters. Check out what the critics are saying about “The Grey.” The Story “We meet Neeson’s character, a heartbroken loner named John Ottway, on the verge of suicide and thinking back, obsessively, to the woman who got away. His demons temporarily quelled, Ottway boards a small plane with his fellow refinery workers and in one of the most nerve-racking flights ever put on film, the aircraft runs afoul of bad weather and crashes. (For a turbulence wimp like me, this scene was not easy.)” — Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune The Star “Having paid his quality biopic dues as Oskar Schindler, Michael Collins and Alfred Kinsey, Mr. Neeson has, at least for now, turned to the rougher and perhaps more lucrative work of action heroism. It takes nothing away from his earlier achievements to note that he’s really good at it. He conveys a ferocious and absolute seriousness even when the going gets silly, and he finds the soul in each new angry-everyman cipher he is asked to play.” — A.O. Scott, New York Times The Wolves ” ‘The Grey’ is an unrelenting demonstration that wolves have no opinion. When they attack, it’s not personal. They’ve spent untold millennia learning how to survive, naked and without weapons, in fearsome places like the Arctic Circle in the dead of winter. They aren’t precisely unarmed; they have their teeth and claws, but how far would that get us, even if we had rifles?” — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times The Director “We’ve come, in vain, to see [Neeson] danse-macabre with wolves, and the film’s director, Joe Carnahan, provides the occasional horror-film sneak attack. He also manages to create one of the movies’ more nightmarish plane crashes and conclude with just the sort of ludicrous finale that paying customers who’ve seen the ads might assume they would be getting a whole film of.” — Wesley Morris, Boston Globe The Final Word “For all its macho standoffs and action set pieces and menacing off-screen howling, ‘The Grey’ is at heart a simple moral fable about how true heroism consists in helping other human beings to live as long and die as well as they can, which is, after all, the task all of us face each day, even when we’re not fending off wolves with broken glass duct-taped to our knuckles.” — Dana Stevens, Slate
