Mila Kunis to Guest Star on Two and a Half Men, Woo Ashton Kutcher

Mila Kunis is set to guest star in an upcoming episode of Two and a Half Men, and in a case of art imitating life, woo her real-life fiance, Ashton Kutcher. More significantly, that was the first time Two and a Half Men was ever referred to as “art.” The Hollywood Gossip: Making history one day at a time. But seriously, does anyone even watch Two and a Half Men online anymore? We’re tempted to see Mila on it, but normally? Did you know it was still on? Kunis will play Vivian, a young, beautiful, free-spirited world traveler who shows up on Walden’s doorstep. Walden feels an instant connection with her. Convinced she’s “the one,” Kutcher’s character then plunges into crisis mode, considering that he’s on the verge of popping the question to someone else. It’s not clear when exactly the episode will air, but they are cute together. Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher got engaged last week. We wish them nothing but the best in life … which they should be set for, given Ashton’s salary. He’s one of the highest paid people on TV. For Two and a Half Men . Some things just don’t make sense in this world, THGers. It’s okay.

According to various reports, she now faces 21 to 27 months behind bars, while husband Joe Giudice – who also pleaded guilty inside a Newark courthouse – could be in jail for up to 46 months. Not long after arriving at this plea bargain, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star released a statement. “Today, I took responsibility for a series of mistakes I made several years ago,” Giudice said. “I have said throughout that I respect the legal process and thus I intend to address the court directly at sentencing. “I will describe the choices I made, continue to take responsibility for my decisions, and express my remorse to Judge Salas and the public.” Teresa and Joe will be sentenced on an unannounced date. The Giudices, meanwhile, are parents to four daughters: Gia, 13, Gabriella, 11, Milania, 9, and Audriana, 5. “I am heartbroken that this is affecting my family — especially my four young daughters, who mean more to me than anything in the world,” Teresa added. “Beyond this, I do not intend to speak specifically about the case outside of court, at the recommendation of my attorney and out of deference to the government and our legal system.” But Teresa is attuned to the outside world, despite her personal woes. Prior to heading to court on Tuesday, Teresa Tweeted her congratulations to Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes, who is part of the Dancing With the Stars Season 18 cast . “Congrats @NeNeLeakes on DWTS!” Giudice wrote. “Can’t wait to watch you. Xx.” Ummm… do they get ABC in prison? Someone might wanna check on that for Teresa. 13 Classic Teresa Giudice Moments Open Slideshow 1. Teresa Giudice: Table Flipping And now for the classic.

Juan Pablo Galavis Responds to Criticism, Insists He Takes The Bachelor Seriously

Juan Pablo Galavis has been under siege for what feels like … the entire Season 18 of The Bachelor. Ever since he was cast, things went downhill. The negativity that started when he made anti-gay comments regarding the possibility of a same-sex Bachelor really snowballed in recent weeks, however. Sharleen Joynt peaced out of the series, followed by Andi Dorfman , whose epic dumping of Juan Pablo turned the tables and caused quite a stir. Then Monday’s Women Tell All episode aired, and everybody just kept piling it on. How does El Bachelor respond, now that he has his say? Let’s find out. “I think to understand the women I have to take a step back and remember it’s not easy facing rejection,” he says in his weekly People blog . “Before I talk about specifics, I want to write about how it can be difficult when you’re the Bachelor,” he adds, to which Andi is no doubt rolling her eyes. “It isn’t easy to remember all of the conversations or the questions that I ask, but I always tried my best and I wish that the women recognized that.” “I understand it’s a very hard situation, but … the women I had a better connection and attraction with are the ones that I felt fit more into what I was looking for.” “I understood why Kelly wanted an explanation about my gay comments because during my adventure we had talked openly about her father,” he went on. “I told Kelly that I would love to have an hourlong chat with her so that she can better understand what was misinterpreted and what my views are.” The Bachelor Season 18 Finale Preview “I also want to understand her views and experiences. More than anything, I want to make sure Kelly knows how sorry I am that her feelings were hurt. I hate hurting people.” As for Victoria last night? “During my talk with Kelly, Victoria really surprised me. Why did Victoria jump in the conversation?” Juan Pablo Galavis mused. “I believe she should have worried more about being sober on the show so she could get to know me rather than say something negative about me.” “Does she know me? Does she know when and where I learned English? Does she know about all of the times my producer and I would change words? “I respect her opinion, but everyone is not the same.” “Of all the women at WTA, Sharleen and Renee are by far the women who got to know me the most, and I spent the most time learning about their lives.” “Did you get to see that with Sharleen? Clearly you didn’t, and that’s a shame because she is a spectacular woman. She was not feeling it and was always honest.” “I wanted to thank her for always being who she is.” “Renee is clase aparte (in another category). She’s a sweet, loving, caring, smart and affectionate person, but unfortunately my feelings were not there for her.” “At the end of it all, I’m very happy that Renee found someone, and I want to send her my congratulations. I hope to be invited to the wedding someday.” Andi Dorfman Dumps Juan Pablo: The Bachelor Breakup For the Ages! Open Slideshow 1.

The Bachelor: Andi Dumps Juan Pablo (Part 6) The Bachelor’s Andi Dorfman breaks up with Juan Pablo Galavis. Part 6 of 6. “Andi’s situation? It’s okay and will always be okay.” “Like I said, she was at the top of my list since week 2, but at that point in St. Lucia, her leaving did me a favor. I wasn’t sure if she was going to make it through.” “Sje made my decision so much easier. I signed up to meet 25 women, not to marry, kiss and play with 25 women. So I was straightforward and honest.” “I don’t have a filter. When you are trying to figure out what you want in a short amount of time, you have to be straightforward. To me, that’s the best way to handle it. “I have a completely different opinion about what happened on our overnight date,” he says of the “disaster” that they rehashed on TV the next day. “I respect her decision, but in my opinion she should have told me in private, when we had no cameras, but I guess some people would rather do things in public.” “Next week, my journey comes to an end,” he concludes, and for himself as well as some of the ladies he cut loose, it won’t be a moment too soon. How will it play out? We’ll have to wait and see … or read The Bachelor spoilers if you can’t wait that long. Either way, it should be interesting to watch. In the meantime, you can watch The Bachelor online at TV Fanatic to catch last night and past episodes in full before the final rose is doled out Monday … Watch The Bachelor Season 18 Episode 10 Online

Bruce Jenner Sex Change Talk: Totally "Absurd," Friend Says

Will he or won’t he appear on Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 10 ? That question remains up for debate. But will the Bruce Jenner sex change rumor actually become a reality? NO CHANCE, a friend of the reality star tells People. 9 Photos of Bruce Jenner Looking Sort of Like a Woman Open Slideshow 1.

Bruce Jenner Goes Shopping Yes, this really is a photo of Bruce Jenner. We understand if you thought it was a woman. Talk of Jenner undergoing this unusual procedure surfaced weeks ago after Bruce agreed to a “tracheal shave” and reduced the size of his Adam’s Apple. But a pal says the sex change is an “absurd” topic to discuss, while another insider agrees. “Bruce has never expressed interest in becoming a woman,” the second source says in the latest issue of the magazine.  Having split from his wife of 23 years and permanently settled on his own in Malibu, the consensus seems to be that Jenner is just having a midlife crisis of some kind. Some do worry that he’ll be the next Michael Jackson in terms of his addiction to plastic surgery… but multiple moles deny all talk of a gender switch. “The guy is getting older and doing what he can to keep a youthful look. If that means plastic surgery, so be it,” an insider explains, acknowledging that Jenner is suffering from “an identity crisis. But not a penis crisis. There’s a big difference.

Jonathan Davis: Barack Obama Used Miley Cyrus to Become a Dictator!

Nice try, President Obama. But Jonathan Davis is on to you. TMZ caught up with Korn singer Jonathan Davis today and asked him about his band’s new music video (below). Why is it filled with clips of Miley Cyrus dancing and other pop culture events? Because, Davis calmly explained, “our government uses [celebrities] to distract from what’s really going on.” Referring the Miley Cyrus VMA performance that dominated all headlines for days? “When that went down, Barack Obama passed a law that made him basically a dictator,” Davis says. “He can imprison whoever he wants.” Watch the interview with Davis and the Korn video for “Spike in My Veins” now. Do you agree that Obama used celebrity scandals to exercise illegal political power? Jonathan Davis GOES OFF on Obama Conspiracy Korn – “Spike in My Veins” Somewhere, even Ted Nugent is shaking his head over Davis’ comments.

Ashley Wagner: The New McKayla Maroney?

Ashley Wagner’s figure skating short program was hot but the judges scores left her cold. The 22-year-old American skater did a little shimmy with joy as she took her bows on the ice, confident her performance was excellent. But when she saw her score – a 63.10 – she couldn’t hide her disappointment. Like, at all. Wagner’s shocked face quickly became the Sochi Olympics version of McKayla Maroney’s “not impressed” face from the 2012 Summer Olympics. “Bullsh*t”, she mouthed to her teammates, although she later amended her statement to “To score that low was very disappointing to me,” when she spoke to reporters. The score put Wagner in fourth place but it was good enough to advance the U.S. to the next round, where they ended up with a bronze medal in team skating. I think she deserves a gold medal in awesome faces, in any case. Remember when McMayla Maroney wasn’t impressed either at the 2012 Summer Olympics?
