Say what?!? Alessandra Ambrosio To Model $2.5 Million “Fantasy Bra” In Victoria Secret Fashion Show Via People Supermodel Alessandra Ambrósio was sitting home breastfeeding her 3-week-old son Noah when the phone rang and she got the surprise of her life. “I just wanted to scream,” admits the mother of two, recalling the moment she was asked to model the coveted ‘Fantasy Bra’ in the upcoming Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. “But I won’t lie, I was really worried,” she admits.” I was in total mother mode.” After going hard in the gym and getting her pre-baby body back, the leggy model says she’s ready to cover her tiddays with precious gems. There’s less than one month to go until she hits the VS runway donning the $2.5 million Floral Fantasy gift set, which includes a Very Sexy push-up bra handset with amethysts, sapphires, rubies and diamonds (plus a removable 20-carat white diamond in the center), and the matching belt, adorned with more than 5,200 precious gems. “It was perfect for me,” Ambrósio says of the set, designed by Long Island’s London Jewelers (who did last year’s bra, modeled by Miranda Kerr). “I felt they made it for me. It’s very romantic.” And now that she feels so ready for the big day, nerves aren’t even an issue. “I’m pretty calm,” she says. “I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.” Don’t miss Ambrósio on the runway at the 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, airing Dec. 4 on CBS. Sorry, but but we’d rather see strippers covered in $2.5 million in one-dollar bills. Image via Victoria’s Secret
In a sea of lumpy Spandex, half-assed Harry Potter costumes and face paint, Bruce Campbell set quite a sartorial standard at New York Comic-Con on Saturday. The square-jawed actor — who’s currently seen in the USA Network cable TV series Burn Notice but built a hardcore following by playing the character of Ash in Sam Raimi’s groundbreaking 1980s The Evil Dead comic-horror trilogy — wore a beacon-like red tuxedo jacket and complementary black-and-red patent leather shoes. The colorfully candid Campbell was on hand at the Javits Center to draw attention to the remake of Evil Dead that he, Raimi and Rob Tapert are producing. (The three were producers of the original films as well.) Set for an April 12, 2013 release by Columbia Pictures’ Screen Gems division, Evil Dead will mark the feature debut of Uruguayan commercial producer Fede Alvarez and feature young cast that includes Jane Levy ( Suburgatory ) and Jessica Lucas ( Cloverfield). The screenwriters include Raimi and hyper-stylist Diablo Cody ( Juno ). Like the original, the remake is about a group of young friends in a remote cabin who discover The Book of the Dead and, one by one, succumb to its evil. But, as Campbell tells Movieline, the comparisons end there. Read on to find out how the movies will differ, what Campbell really thinks of basketball shorts, actress Jane Levy’s performance, CAA agents and George Lucas’ decision to tweak his Star Wars movies. And if you haven’t seen Panic Attack!, the short film that got Alvaraez the Evil Dead job, it’s posted below. Movieline: Those shoes are something else. Do you own them or did you rent them? Campbell : These are mine, baby. They’re beautiful. It’s Comic-Con. C’mon, let’s step it up! I’m trying to encourage other people who go to Comic-Con: Put on a nice shirt –and pants, too. While you’re at it, could you press your fucking t-shirt? And what you think about the basketball shorts? Should we just get rid of those? I’m trying to class this joint up a little bit. How will Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead compare to the original? Higher quality production, better actors, better special effects and a different telling of a similar story. You’ve still got your five kids and a nasty book in an isolated cabin. Is there an Ash? Nope. There are no similar characters whatsoever. And we wanted that. That was intentional. We didn’t want anything compared to anything. We didn’t want to put any burden on any actor to act like Ash or to imitate him. I hear you turned down a cameo in the movie. Nobody said “yes” or “no” to anything, so that’s false. We discussed it as filmmakers: Would it be worth it? Should we do it? But the tone of the movie is dead serious. It’s not jokey enough. This not a funny movie. If there’s laughter, it’s nervous laughter. There will not be ha-ha laughter. None. It’s a full-on old-school horror movie with make-up effects. Alvarez got this gig because of his short film Panic Attack! That’s what got us started. Fede is a Uruguayan filmmaker. He made commercials, Pepsi commercials. He does Panic Attack! in his spare time. He puts it out there on a lark. It went viral. Three weeks later, he was literally in Spielberg’s office. He met everybody. His agents are CAA now. I can’t get those assholes on the phone. How did he get on Sam Raimi’s radar? Sam was one of his meetings. They liked each other. Sam wanted to develop Panic Attack! into a feature, but that got bogged down. Fede was a big fan of Evil Dead , and so he pitched a story that we all liked. The three of us — myself, Sam Raimi and Rod Tapert — decided to get back involved in this and support this guy. He’s a very smart, talented guy. I mean, he really is too smart for his own good. [A man in basketball shorts walking through the conference room distracts Campbell.] See? Basketball shorts. Would it kill him to put on a pair of pants? I hate how right I am. I’m glad I wore long pants. You were talking about how the Evil Dead remake came to be. So that’s how it was born. It could have gone either way, you know. The guy had never made a feature film before. He’s telling a story longer than a 60-second Pepsi commercial. That’s a big challenge, and he succeeded on many levels. His actors are good and solid and give great balls-to-the-wall performances when they have to. Fede was also very mature about the whole thing. He’s very respectful of the genre. He’s not making fun of it. He’s not punking it — he’s just telling his version of it. And he didn’t over-shoot it. He didn’t over-edit it. It’s such a well-edited movie, and that’s pretty rare. Most movies — the editing sucks. Like, they’ll never hang on a full sentence. They’ll come in halfway through. They’ll cut away after ten seconds. There’s a lot of shitty work out there. Where did you shoot the movie? We shot it in Auckland, New Zealand because we did all the Hercules and Xena shows down there. The Kiwis are top-notch workers; great crew members. So, we just gave Fede all the support that we could possibly give him — a better budget, qualified crew members, good actors. We liked his script and we left him alone. You don’t need to sit over a guy’s shoulder. You turning up on the set would probably be pretty intimidating. I sat in on the auditions, and some of the actors that came in were like, Nyaaaaaa! I felt bad because the idea was not to freak them out. It was to let them know that we’re into it and we’re taking it seriously. And I just think we pulled the right actors. Jane Levy — I’m going to crown her the new Ash myself. She’s got it. She’s got it. You never know, either. We thought she was good in the room, but you get on a film set and what are they like? Are they tough? Are they pussies? Are they assholes? Are they crazy? What were you? Tough. And Jane was a tough little shit, too. Really tough. I asked her in the room: “How are you with extensive special effects for an extensive period of time. Have you ever done that?” No. “Well, do you know what that’s going to be like?” What’s it like? It’s the fucking worst experience you can think of. It’s terrible for your skin. You’re an hour and a half, two hours putting it on. You shoot a 14-hour day, and it’s a hour to take it off. Then you start the whole damn thing over the next day. This goes on for 10 weeks. I wanted to hang myself after those movies. And we pushed every actor to the limit. Jane, we pushed her over the edge. So, she’s the new Ash. You said it, not me. You said you were going to crown her the new Ash. If they want me to crown her, I’ll crown her — because I support her. I’m really impressed with what she did. Could this be a trilogy in the way that the original Evil Dead movies were? Easy, but you have to talk to Fede about that because I don’t know if he would do it. He’s got lots of crazy ideas. I want to go to double bills. The original Evil Dead paired with the remake. It would be a great midnight double bill. Alamo Draft House, Austin, Texas. Lines around the block — I’m telling you. I’ll go introduce it myself. If you could fix anything about the original Evil Dead movies, what would you do? I wouldn’t because that’s pussy filmmaking, man. It is. You see the garden hoses shooting shit? Yep, that’s right! We did the best we could, pal. In 1979, we got the movie in the can for $85,000. You’re going to get what you get. We’re not George Lucas going back to fix our effects. Sorry man, you blew it. You got to get over it. You can’t obsess like that. That’s cheating. What’s next for you? I’m finishing Burn Notice . I’ve been six years on that spy show for USA. It’s been a fun show. That’s my day job, and it eats up seven months out of my life. So the other five months I don’t feel like doing anything. The last break I just worked on developing a bunch of new scripts because you can’t do stuff without scripts. I’ve got three new ideas that I got written up last year. I like all kinds of genres. I want to do a few more little low-budget movies. I love low-budget movies. Are there any recent horror movies that you like right now? I don’t watch movies — it’s the weirdest thing — because I feel like I’m going to work. I see actors looking at their marks. I see them cheating to the camera. I see out -of-focus shit. I see a lousy shot. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
October 10 th 2012 has most definitely been the best day of my life. I went early and made friends with a ton of cool people. After a while of waiting by the tour buses, Kenny and Fredo came out smiling and waving, but went into the venue before anybody could talk to them. But luckily, Kenny came back. I somehow managed to get Kenny’s attention by calling out, “Hey Kenny” and he was like “Huh” and I’m like we have matching tattoos (we both have treble clef tattoos). He looked up and I showed him my wrist and he nodded in approval and said “nice” or “cool” or something along those lines. I also complimented his slippers haha. After some more talking he left to go take a shower, and at that point Scrappy and Allison came out and talked for a little. Once they were gone, my friends and I moved from the buses, to the loading area and saw Moshe. But then Tay came over on a Segway and distracted us all, he’s super nice! Then Dan came out! He was beyond sweet. I had talked to him on the phone while they were touring in Japan during the “My World hotline” and he remembered me as the “Vancouver girl.” We talked about Carly, and Vancouver and a few other things and he’s such a genuinely nice person I couldn’t believe he was standing in front of me having a REAL conversation with me. At this point, the friend who I was going to the concert with arrived and we went to get our wristbands…to meet Justin! Oh my…once I opened the curtain I was in awe. I didn’t realize he was right there so I was beyond shocked when I heard him say “Hey sweetheart! How are you” I literally blurted out “Holy shit you’re perfect” and he replied with “Thank you sweetheart come here” and so I went in for a hug and he smells amazing and he gives the best hugs. I was just holding on to him the entire time and didn’t wanna let go. It goes by so quick I couldn’t believe it was happening I just kept staring at him. The kid really likes to say “Sweetheart” though. I’m sure he said it about half a dozen times. For picture time, he had his arm around me and was actually holding on tightly and it was just the best feeling. He’s flawless. But that’s not it. As I was walking out of the Meet and Greet curtain, I saw Fredo! I said his name and pulled him out with me and hugged him and told him how much I love him and how amazing he is. I had gotten a customized hat for him and so I got to give him that. He loved it. He told me he was going to wear it on stage and that he was gonna rock it all night. Then we posed for a picture and he kept saying “one more” “one more” to my friend who was taking them. He’s honestly such an amazing guy. As I was about to leave he kissed my cheek and told me to have fun and to watch out for him. As if that wasn’t enough Fredo tweeted me saying it was nice meeting me. I freaked out cause I never gave him my Twitter. He asked my name as we were talking and I said “Pargol” but I didn’t think he even heard or understood cause I was rambling. Then a little later he tweeted me again! This time he sent me a picture of himself posing in the hat I gave him :’) Honestly made my night. Finally it was time for the show. It was my 5 th of 6 th time seeing Carly so no doubt I thought she was brilliant. But then Justin, wow the choreography was amazing, the singing was amazing, the entire production was beyond words. At one point he made eye contact with me and walked right over to me and grabbed my hand. I just about died right there. Oh and Fredo didn’t lie. He rocked my hat on stage ‘She Don’t Like The Lights.’ Overall my night was incredible. The crew is just so sweet and Justin is wow. I’m forever grateful. Up until the night before the show, I never thought anything like this was possible for me… but it happens. Never give up, and I promise you it will happen. I’ve been waiting for my opportunity since November 1 st 2009 when he first canceled a M&G in Vancouver and tried and tried every chance I got since then and I didn’t succeed until 3 years later. But it happened and it was worth the wait. – @PargolHamidi Read the original: October 10th 2012 has most definitely been the best day of my…
It was the best day of my life. In May I bought my tickets, I didn’t get the meet & greet, but I got good seats. Two days before the concert I left my town to go to Vegas to the Believe Tour. On Saturday it was just a normal day and I went to some hotels. Then on Sunday that’s when everything started to get a bit crazy. I was with two friends and we were trying to find Justin and to get a picture with him. Finally the buses were outside the MGM and security wouldn’t let us near them. They were telling us that Justin wasn’t there and stuff. Then we saw Selena get out of the bus and she just waved. The security started talking really bad to us, they were mean (I’m not talking about Kenny and Moshe). Finally Justin got out of the bus hugging Selena we screamed, but he was talking on the phone. We left cause we thought that was our one chance to maybe get a picture with him. Then we got into the MGM and we saw that there was people that were in charge for meet & greets. Then we sneaked in with all those people and they didn’t see us! I was like omg I can’t believe I just did this! Then security said, “Everybody on the wall, I need to count all of you.” I thought, ok…good try I almost did it. Then he started counting and said said, “41….THERE IS ONE PERSON THAT DOESN’T BELONG HERE.” But we were three, so we stayed quiet. A men said, “Sorry! It’s me.” We were like thank God! The security told us all, “Okay! Everybody ready to meet Justin?! Make a line.” We were just a few seconds away to meeting Justin. He was really handsome and cute. You can see that he was a little bit tired but really happy. I hugged him, I told him I loved him and that we came from Mexico. He said, “I’m glad you came, I love you, enjoy the show.” That was the best 20 seconds of my life! Girls, believe in your dreams and never say never. I never thought I could meet him, but I did. -Jaquie The rest is here: It was the best day of my life. In May I bought my tickets, I…
Heya, I’m Lindi and when it comes to Justin, I like to just go for it and try my hardest. Once news came out that Justin was returning to the UK to do some more promotion, I told myself I wouldn’t let anything stop me from meeting him. When Justin was set to come to London (Wed 11th Sept) we headed straight to his hotel before he had even arrived. After hours of waiting and his flight being delayed, he finally arrived at the hotel. However since he had just came from a flight he didn’t come out to see us yet addressed us with a wave from the lobby. This was enough to start my week off as one extremely happy girl. The following day (Wed 12th Sept) was his book signing and I was extremely lucky to be able to get a wristband, after serious stress, and confusion. The atmosphere was amazing and it was so exciting knowing Justin was just around the curtain. Once behind it, we greeted Kenny was a handshake before moving over to Justin, the whole thing went by so fast, I can hardly remember it. I Just remember him saying “Hello”, and seeing his beautiful face before I squeaked out a “Thank you” when he gave me my book. I was very grateful for that moment cause i knew if all else failed I still had that memory. However the next day (Thurs 13th Sept) we spent the whole day outside his hotel, with a detour to The Jonathan Ross Show, where we was able to see him run past the gate to greet everyone. Once we knew he was in filming we decided to return to his hotel and await his return. More hours of waiting went by and still now show. Come around 10pm Justin arrived back, and met some fans/my friends at the back door, however I was round the front and missed him. We carried on waiting and waiting hoping he would pop out to come see us all. Come some time around 12am we heard commotion at the front, and Justin had in fact come out for photos. Lots of people were trying to get close and get their photos not wanting to miss the opportunity. But even after Justin asked for everyone to get in line multiple times, people didn’t cooperate and so he went in. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. We were all positive after that he wouldn’t come back out and we’d all blown our chance. We decided to stick it out in hope and after even more hours, and a few chants up to his hotel window to say how sorry we were, Justin re-appeared around 2am (Fri 14th Sept) coming out of his hotel on Alfredo’s shoulders shouting “I AM LORD BIEBER.” We all headed over to him, the time making sure to stay behind the barriers. I handed my camera over to Alfredo and it was finally my time for my photo. My face in my photo pretty much explains my emotions at that moment in time. I was over the moon! Justin then moved to my friend Jess next to me, however her camera was not ready, so I offered to take the photo, but Justin told me not to worry, and that he would take it himself. Somehow he managed to hit the view button on my camera, and as I was trying to sort it out for him, he noticed a photo I had taken of him. He instantly laughed and told me to delete the photo. It was a cute adorable photo of him with his tongue sticking out. So cute I even asked him if I could keep it just for myself (only now I realize how creepy that sounded), but he insisted I deleted it cause he didn’t like it. Justin and Jess then took their photo and I jumped in. Once Justin was making his way back down the line I stopped him again and asked if I could have 1 more photo and he was like “Of course.” He then took the photo of me and him, before looking at it and apologizing that his eyes were closed. I couldn’t believe that I’d actually spoken to Justin. It was the best feeling in the world. I then moved round to Alfredo to have a chat while everyone else was with Justin. He was cute saying how tired he was and couldn’t wait to sleep. We got a photo together and then I decided to just go for it and asked him to follow me on Twitter and he told me to tweet him and he would, so then I asked what should I tweet? He then said “Give me your phone, I’ll do it.” Alfredo then processed to tweet off my phone to himself saying, “Omg I love @AlfredoFlores so much. He is my everything in life. #Rockstarshit” He was laughing like crazy and all I could think was that Alfredo just tweeted ON MY ACCOUNT! We were all so grateful Justin had taken the extra time to come out and taken photos with every single ones of us, it was so sweet, especially after his long day. It was incredible. Shortly after while we were all still on our Justin high, I got a twitter notification telling me Alfredo had just followed me . I just couldn’t believe that he’d actually followed me, so quickly as well. My happiness at that point was through the roof. Everything that happened in those early hour of Friday morning is something i will never forget. Everything was perfect. I couldn’t of asked for a better ending to Justin’s visit to the UK. Even after the knock backs, you have to remember everything happens for a reason, and NEVER give up! -@LindiCraddock Go here to see the original: Heya, I’m Lindi and when it comes to Justin, I like to…

Lindsay Lohan wants to set the record straight about her blowout fight with mom Dina, and how she feels about her dad Michael secretly recording their phone call. First off, LiLo says she lied about her mom being on cocaine during the fight. “I told my dad a really hurtful and untruthful lie about my mom. She was not on cocaine,” the 26-year-old said on celebrity gossip program TMZ Live. That supposed lie was played for all the world, since MiLo likes to record phone calls and release them to the media – a fact Lindsay is justifiably PISSED about. Lindsay says that Michael Lohan betrayed her trust by releasing her desperate phone call to the media and that she is now “done” with him forever. Michael “doesn’t know what it means to be and doesn’t want to be a dad,” she says. Ouch. Why Lindsay called her dad in the first place, knowing his track record, we have no idea. Why he sold her out to the media? That’s Michael Lohan for you. Exactly happened 48 hours ago, we may never know. But Linds is on Team Dina now. Lindsay then tried to downplay Wednesday morning’s argument, saying, “Daughters have fights with their moms. It happens a lot. It’s normal.” Sorry, but the Lindsay Lohan-Dina Lohan fight was by no means normal. Lindsay also said Dina had not been drinking: “That’s my dad that had that issue. And I got it from that side of the family. Has my mom had any reason to go to rehab?” “Has she ever done that? No. That’s my father and me.” “[My mom is] an amazing woman,” she added. “I think everyone kind of knows that my father’s main objective had always been to destroy my mom…” According to Lindsay, she threw Dina under the bus momentarily because she “lied about things that I said just because I was angry and I was having a fight.” If Michael Lohan hadn’t leaked it, she says, they “would’ve talked about it, and would’ve been fine in the morning. But my dad had to go the extra mile.” “I should’ve known better [than to call him],” The Canyons star said of her ex-father. “[But] I called my dad, because who else am I gonna call?” DCFS perhaps.
Lindsay Lohan has had a rough couple of months/years/decades. It’s no surprise that Claus Hjelmbak, who was present the night she alleges she was assaulted by Christian LaBella , says “she’s not in a good place.” However, “it’s not because of health issues,” he said. “She’s not in a good place, because people around her just keep throwing her under the bus.” According to Hjelmbak, LaBella, who Lohan hung out with at the W Hotel, didn’t know Hjelmbak or Lohan before that night. So how’d he get with their crew? “Lindsay is a sweet girl and is very open and nice when people come over and talk,” he explained. “In this case, she thought it was somebody her friends know.” All was well until LaBella started taking Lindsay Lohan photos on his cell phone. “She was visibly shaken already at that point. She was shocked. You are in a private space and realize someone has documented the entire night on the phone.” After that was when the alleged altercation happened. Hjelmbak said there were no drugs involved, and he was unsure if Lohan had even had “a drink or two.” LaBella was arrested for assault, but quickly released due to lack of evidence that a crime was actually committed, drawing a rebuke from Lindsay’s rep. Whatever happened that night, how will LiLo bounce back? “Look at her art,” Hjelmbak urged fans. “And stop focusing so much on her private life. That would be a big help to her getting back to a really good place.” If only she didn’t make that near-impossible.
On 13th of September 2012, my dream came true. I had wanted to meet Justin since 2009 when my sister met him and have been a belieber since then. People always told me to never say never and to believe but it just seemed like a dream. I had come so close to Justin many times before but never close enough to touch him. I had school and I ran home thinking that today was going to be the day. I met my friend Alice in Waterloo and we heard Justin was going to be at Kiss fm so we went to Oxford St but when we arrived, no one was there. They said he recorded it off sight. As you can imagine we were a bit upset but we didn’t give up. A girl on Twitter told me that Justin was going to be at ITV studios at 6 so we got the train back there. Justin waved from the window but did not come out. When we got there everyone was screaming and we ran as fast as we could over and there was no room to get up onto the bars. I fell on the floor in the dirt and ended up sticking my head through people’s legs to try and see him. All off a sudden there he was right in front of me and he said “Hey” and touched my hand. I just burst out crying in disbelief and happiness. Something that I had wanted for so long in my life happened to me. Once Justin had gone inside, a man came out who was working at ITV and we asked him to come over. We gave him a book that we had made for Justin and he took it and promised he would give it to him . Even though Justin hasn’t tweeted us about it, just the thought that Justin may have read it or even just seen it makes me so happy and feel lucky. I didn’t get a picture with Justin, hug him or tell him how much he means to me but I saw him so close. It has given me the strength to believe that I will meet him again and tell him what I want to. My dream became a reality. Even though it seems cheesy and as if it wont happen; never say never and believe that you can do it because if you do, you will meet Justin. I can say that that no matter what happens to me throughout my life Justin, will be someone here to support me and I will always support him and his music.

The good folks over at Rolling Stone Magazine pulled together this list of lies Money Mitt told during the debate: 1. “I don’t have a $5 trillion tax cut.” Romney flatly lied about the cost of his proposal to cut income-tax rates across the board by another 20 percent (undercutting even the low rates of the Bush tax cuts). Independent economists at the Tax Policy Center have shown that the price tag for those cuts is $360 billion in the first year, a cost that extrapolates to $5 trillion over a decade. 2. “I will not reduce the taxes paid by high-income Americans.” Romney has claimed that he will pay for his tax cuts by closing a variety of loopholes and deductions. The factual problem? Romney hasn’t named a single loophole he’s willing to close; worse, there’s no way to offset $5 trillion in tax cuts even if you get rid of the entire universe of deductions for the wealthy that Romney has not put off the table (like the carried interest loophole or the 15 percent capital gains rate.) The Tax Policy Center report concludes that Romney’s proposal would create a “net tax cut for high-income tax payers and a net tax increase for lower- and or middle-income taxpayers.” Moreover, some of Romney’s tax cuts are micro-targeted at American dynasties, particularly his proposal to eliminate the estate tax, which would reduce his own sons’ tax burden by tens of millions of dollars. 3. “We’ve got 23 million people out of work or [who have] stopped looking for work in this country.” Romney is lying for effect. The nation’s crisis of joblessness is bad, but not 23 million bad. The official figure is 12.5 million unemployed. An additional 2.6 million Americans have stopped looking for jobs. How does Romney gin up his eye-popping 23 million figure? He counts more than 8 million wage earners who hold part-time jobs as also being “out of work.” 4. Obamacare “puts in place an unelected board that’s going to tell people ultimately what kind of treatments they can have.” Romney is reviving Sarah Palin’s old death panels lie here. Obamacare does establish an Independent Payment Advisory Board to help constrain the growth of Medicare spending. The body has no authority to dictate the practices of the private insurance marketplace. And the law also makes explicit that this body is banned from rationing care or limiting medical benefits to seniors. 5. “Pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan.” In the biggest whopper of the night, Romney suggested that his health care proposal would guarantee coverage to Americans with pre-existing conditions. This is just not true. Under Romney, if you have a pre-existing condition and have been unable to obtain insurance coverage or if you have had to drop coverage for more than 90 days because you lost your job or couldn’t afford the premiums, you would be shit out of luck. Insurance companies could continue to discriminate and deny you coverage, as even Romney’s top adviser conceded after the debate was over. Loud and wrong, Mitt. Loud and wrong.
