Julianne Moore’s transformation into Sarah Palin in the HBO film Game Change, set to premiere in March, is striking. Guess that’s how you earn four Oscar nominations. The 51-year-old actress stars opposite Ed Harris (as John McCain) and Woody Harrelson (adviser Steve Schmidt) in the film based on the 2010 book of the same name. Game Change centers around the ’08 presidential elections, following the U.S. Senator’s run and decision to select Palin, then governor of Alaska, as his running mate: Game Change Teaser Trailer “In terms of research I did on the way campaigns are conducted, so much is about how do you get on the air, how do you get the most media attention,” Moore said. “How do you make the most noise. When in fact, what we’re all looking for is leadership, we don’t want noise. We want people who are going to take care of us.” Wow. That’s way too intelligent to come from an actual political figure. The book Game Change chronicled the actions of both parties during the 2008 race, but based on the cast , the film looks to be centered primarily on the Republican side.

The cast of Teen Mom 2 is in turmoil these days. Which adorable tyke featured on the MTV show might be forced to grow up without the love of their parents? Which star is considering getting remarried already? OK! has the full rundown in its new cover story. Eight months after her divorce from Corey Simms, Leah Messer is talking engagement with Jeremy Calvert, the boyfriend who lives with her and her twin daughters. Ali and Aleeah have been a major focal point of Season 2 of Teen Mom 2 , but we already know that Leah and Corey split up, and the 19-year-old is happier for it. Corey is not happy with this new arrangement, however. “I’d die for my girls,” Corey told a pal. “Jeremy is not there to replace me. No one will keep me from them.” As viewers of this week’s Teen Mom 2 saw, Corey and Leah’s love for the girls is strong, but their marriage unraveled very quickly and with a lot of hard feelings. Now Leah is intent on Jeremy becoming a father to the girls. “Leah is going full steam ahead, she loves that Jeremy is acting like a father to the girls,” says the insider. “She is more than fine with him taking [Corey Simms’] place. She doesn’t see anything wrong with it and is happy to be moving on.” Meanwhile … Chelsea Houska has remained devoted to her baby daddy Adam Lind, but his latest eff-up may be one more reason for her to cut him out of baby Aubree’s life forever. “He also seems to have a drinking problem,” says the insider. On a related note, despite Jenelle Evans’ vows to stay sober after completing rehab in California last June, insiders say she’s not sober and she’s no closer to reclaiming custody of her son, Jace, from her mother, Barbara. Sources say “stardom totally ruined Jenelle” and that “very little has changed … her relationship with her mother is terrible. She has almost no real relationship with her son . She’s not a bad person, but she’s acting like an idiot.” Kailyn Lowry fears that one day she’ll be unable to pay her rent, and will lose her home and her baby, Isaac. “Kailyn never knows one day to the next if she and Isaac will even have a roof over their heads,” says an insider. On the original Teen Mom front, Amber Portwood was jailed for violating the terms of her probation. She may be there all the way until mid-January. Court papers cite her getting fight at an IHop in November, failure to pay fines, not completing anger management classes and other infractions, topped off by her inability to produce a prescription for medication found on her this week. Crazy girls. Crazy times.

Another young contestant got sent home this week on The X Factor. A week after Drew Ryniewicz was reduced to tears, the same fate befell 13-year old Rachel Crow, who fell into the bottom two and then got eliminated after the judges deadlocked and the show left the final decision up to viewers. After falling into her mother’s arms following the reading of the verdict, Crow – whose Tuesday night performances you can watch HERE – composed herself and said: “I love you so much, everybody, for voting for me and thank you for giving me this because without you I am nothing. I hope this is not my ending. I know it’s not and I will go so far. I promise you!” What do you think? Did Rachel deserve to go home this week?
What would you do if you came home to your wife attempting to kill your children??? A New Hampshire man was sentenced Friday to 15 to 30 years in prison for beating his mentally ill wife to death with a flashlight after he came home to find she had strangled their 4-year-old son with a ribbon and tried to kill their 7-year-old daughter. Christopher Smeltzer, 39, pleaded guilty to killing Mara Pappalardo, who was hospitalized several times for mental illness. Prosecutors say she was paranoid, obsessed with death and convinced her husband and mother-in-law were plotting to take her children away. Smeltzer initially was charged with second-degree manslaughter. Prosecutors at his plea hearing in October changed the charge to manslaughter by provocation in deference to the horrific scene that triggered his actions. The 90-minute sentencing took place in a Rockingham Superior courtroom. There was tension between members of Smeltzer’s family and his wife’s. And at one point, a member of her family shouted to Smeltzer that God will be the judge of his actions. Senior Assistant Attorney General Jane Young said what happened at the Smeltzer home Nov. 7, 2010 “was simply a tragedy.” The voices of the two survivors of that tragedy — Smeltzer and his daughter — were heard publicly for the first time during Friday’s sentencing. A tape recording of Mercey reading a letter to the judge was played by her lawyer; the girl did not attend the hearing. Mercey’s young voice hushed the courtroom. “I am mad and sad that my Daddy killed my Mommy and brother Mason,” she says on the tape. The girl, who lives with one of her mother’s sisters, ends by saying, “Please keep him in jail for the rest of his life.” Young said Mercey’s statement contradicts what she said in the days after the attacks and to her counselor. Smeltzer said he wished he had a “rewind button” to go back and change what he did, including leaving his delusional wife to do cocaine and smoke crack with his friends. He came home, prosecutors say, to find his son strangled, his daughter dangling off the bed with a scarf wound around her neck and his wife in the throes of a suicide attempt. “As soon as I saw my son I knew something was very wrong,” Smeltzer said, choking with emotion. “I knew he was dead and I lost all control. Enraged, I struck my wife. I did something that was not going to bring my son back.” Smeltzer believed his daughter was dead as well. Prosecutors say toxicology tests confirm he took a large quantity of pills in an effort to take his own life. They say Mercey awakened him the next morning and asked if her mother and brother were breathing, and asked her father to make her some tea. Defense attorney John Newman asked the judge to impose a 7 1/2 to 10 year sentence, saying he could think of no greater provocation to manslaughter than Smeltzer picking up his dead son, putting his mouth to his son’s mouth only to find it ice cold. Wow there’s just too much wrong with this story we don’t know where to begin. At first, we felt bad for dude until we found out he left his wife home with the kids to go snort some yayo and suck on a glass d*ck. WTF?!?!?! Source

So no matter how hot she may be or how elegant the aging process has been for her….she was better before this picture was taken at some bullshit event…. If you know what I mean.
