Lauren Cohan Poses for Maxim, Looks GOOD

Here’s one way to divert attention from zombies: take off your clothes! The Walking Dead star Lauren Cohan is featured in the latest issue of Maxim – and it’s safe to say the woman behind Maggie is looking darn good. You are a very lucky man, Glenn! Cohan, who credits her early days as a swimmer for her very impressive figure, also lets readers in on another secret: She crushes on Jeff Bridges! Sort of. “It’s not a romantic crush,” the former Vampire Diaries actress explains. “It’s just kind of an everything crush. I love him as an actor. I love his voice. I love his smile. Okay, now it sounds romantic – but it’s not!” Sure, Lauren, whatever you say. But if Bridges or anyone else is looking to get with the beautiful star, she has some advice: be yourself. Be natural. Do NOT be corny. “The worst pickup line is any pickup line, I think,” she says. The Walking Dead Season 4 kicks off on AMC on Sunday, October 13.

Azealia Banks: Lady Gaga Stole "Red Flame" From Me!

Azealia Banks is coming for Lady Gaga. Again. Previously, Banks said Gaga aped her mermaid look for the 2013 iTunes Festival. This time, the rapper insists Gaga stole the song “Red Flame” from her. She’s calling out the ARTPOP icon on Twitter: “@ladygaga make sure u let them know where u got the title for red flame from. U stole that from the demo I sent u,” she tweeted earlier this week. “Life is great.” “You can have it. Plenty more where that came from .” “Seriously … This one is free. Next time I’m charging.” Banks, two-word, hilarious parting shot? “Team Katy.” The Harlem rapstress has been known for picking fights online for the better part of her career, and clearly is not above airing her grievances publicly. In fact, that may be the entire goal, to get attention. Do you believe Gaga is ganking Banks’ songs and style? Or is this just the case of an artist looking to get publicity from beefing with a bigger artist? Hopefully Gaga has a clever GIF response. Banks, FYI, reportedly appears on the song … so it’s not like Gaga cut her out. But it appears she’s taking credit for the name as well as the material?

Miley Cyrus Earns First-Ever #1 Song with "Wrecking Ball"

Miley Cyrus doesn’t have time to worry about Liam Hemsworth or Eiza Gonzalez . The singer is too busy celebrating her first-ever number-one hit! Yes, despite (or perhaps due to) the controversy surrounding ” Wrecking Ball ,” this song is a swinging success for Cyrus. It has overtaken Katy Perry’s “Roar” at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, leaping 21 spots from its debut a week ago. Miley’s previous biggest tracks – 2009’s “Party in the U.S.A.” and 2013’s “We Can’t Stop” – couldn’t make it past number-two on the same chart. The Wrecking Ball music video has also shattered the mark for most VEVO views in a 24-hour period and the single is number-one on Spotfiy with over 2.5 million U.S streams. So even with her personal life a mess, Miley’s professional life has never been better, as she documented on Twitter yesterday: “#1 on Billboard. #1 on iTunes. #1 on Spotify. #1 on Streaming. #1 on Digital songs. #1 most added to pop radio. #1 on VEVO. #WreckingBall” Moreover, Cyrus isn’t even close to done: the album “Bangerz” comes out on October 8 and is already one of the top pre-sellers on iTunes.

Rebel Wilson Glams It Up for New York Magazine

Rebel Wilson is about to embark on a Super Fun Night. The actress, who sky-rocketed to fame in Pitch Perfect , will anchor a new ABC sitcom this fall and is also featured on the cover of the latest New York Magazine, looking far more glamorous than usual. And far, far more glamorous than her character on the aforementioned series. “The girls in the show are at the bottom of the social pole, and it’s hard to communicate that to the network,” Wilson tells the publication. “It’s important they understand that comedy is not about looking good.” But Wilson sure does look good in a spread for the magazine.

Jenelle Evans, Nathan Griffith Get Matching Tattoos, Totally Won’t Regret That

Maligned Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans and her recently arrested boyfriend of a few months, Nathan Griffith, got matching tattoos this week. We have no response either. The reality star recently got yet another tattoo, this one in honor of her 27-year-old boyfriend, and he got the same one. It’s actually both of their names. The tatt is an ambigram that reads “Jenelle” one way and “Nathan” the other way. Pretty deep stuff, and totally not weird after they break up in October. “Jenelle really has fallen so hard for Nathan and he feels the same way about her,” a source said. “She was totally excited the day she got the tattoo “She’s ready for everyone to see how much she loves him.” Nathan isn’t the only one who’s been inked in her honor. Jenelle Evans’ husband Courtland Rogers (yes, they’re still married) had her name tattooed on his chest only to get it covered up after their ugly breakup. Here’s hoping Nathan’s “Jenelle” tattoo won’t be something he has to have lasered off in a few weeks, though based on Griffith’s DUI arrest , they’re doing well. He was pulled over by the police initially because he was serving all over the road, in a huge hurry to get home, and get it in, with Jenelle Evans . Her words: Nathan Griffith Arrested For DUI, Trying to Have Sex With Jenelle Evans

Dads Premiere: The Most Racist Thing Ever?

Dads premiered tonight on Fox and this is the best thing you can say about the Seth MacFarlane-produced sitcom: It depicts equal opportunity racism! Well, mostly. The series has come under fire (yes, already) for dressing a lead Asian character up as a school girl in order to impress investors and for having a character scream out: “The Chinese are a lovely and honorable people, but you can’t trust them! There’s a reason Shanghai is a verb!” There’s also a quip about Asian men having small penises. So it does go pretty hard after one ethnic group in particular. But, hey, there’s also a joke about Latina women being maids! The cast of Dads is actually decent, with Giovanni Ribisi and Seth Green portraying the children of Martin Mull and Peter Riegert, but that only raises another question about the new comedy: Just how much were these actors paid to star in this insulting nonsense?!? Overall, Dads make 2 Broke Girls look clean and Emmy worthy. It’s hard (and depressing) to imagine it lasting more than two episodes. But that’s just our opinion! What is yours? Grade the premiere of Dads now:   A B C D F View Poll »
