Emily VanCamp is as glamorous – and devious – as they come on Revenge Season 2 . In real life, the beautiful 26-year-old Canadian actress seems like anything but. “When I take off my makeup, that’s my boyfriend’s favorite,” she tells Women’s Health . “To me, that’s a symbol of a great guy – someone who doesn’t care about [glamorous] stuff.” Her boyfriend, of course, is co-star Josh Bowman, with whom she recently went on a fishing trip in his native England with his father. How’d that go? “I was there in my baseball cap and these crappy fishing clothes,” she explains. “And I remember thinking, this is when I feel 100 percent comfortable – in these dirty clothes with fish guts all over them. I know it probably sounds horrendous.” “I’m at my most confident when I’m in nature and I don’t have to dress up.” When it comes to relationships, she says it’s all about effort and balance. “It’s more about accepting each other as separate people,” she says. “Laugh a lot and be really delicate with the other person’s heart, because sometimes you start to take each other for granted. Always remember, neither of you needs to be there.” “I also like to reflect,” she says. “I need that sort of peace and quiet. It’s something my friends and I laugh about: ‘Oh, Emily’s having a night to herself.’ It centers me.” Check out more Emily VanCamp photos below!
Lindsay Lohan was absolutely destroyed in the original screenplay for Scary Movie 5, although it’s anyone’s guess what material makes the final cut. The working script was obtained by TMZ and boy, are there a lot of jokes at Lindsay’s expense … even her buddy Charlie Sheen gets in on the act. We start it off with them in bed making a sex tape, until she says, “Okay let’s do this quick, I got a court hearing in the morning … It’s a driving mishap thing.” “Promise me you won’t drive,” he urges. “That’s very sweet, worrying about me behind the wheel,” she replies. “I’m worried about me. I’m a pedestrian,” Sheen counters. BAM! Oh, and it continues … As they get it on, Charlie keeps being thwarted – first by her sobriety monitor, then her house arrest anklet … then a dog shock collar for orgasm help. At another point, Lindsay SCREAMS in abject terror, but not because of any deranged killer … she’s just watching her own film Herbie: Fully Loaded . In the trailer, this is already changed – to news coverage of her probation being revoked. The jokes go on and on until at one point, Lindsay literally runs over Charlie with her car, tosses the keys to someone else and says, “You were driving.” In light of Lindsay’s probation being revoked for lying to police, which could land her in jail for eight months , that must hit pretty close to home. It’s also pretty hilarious. Remember, this movie news is based on the working script, so the trailer may or may not be reflective of the jokes that make the final, theatrical cut.
With 2012 coming to an end, it is with enormous pride that THG unveils its 10 finalists for its prestigious, arbitrary, 6th Annual Celebrity of the Year award. These stars provided us with their best, their worst, their naked photos, their sex tapes (sometimes) and their scandals (often). This month, THG honors that greatness. We started at #10 with Adam Levine , moved on to Honey Boo Boo at #9 and now we present Celebrity of the Year #8… Kim Kardashian ! Kardashian accomplished very little in 2012, and we don’t even mean that in our typically negative fashion. She didn’t get married or divorced. She didn’t star in a sex tape or a movie. She pretty much existed in the world she has created for herself, Tweeting away, filling up our Kim Kardashian bikini photos collection via Instagram and remaining relevant by taking full advantage of social media. She also started to date Kanye West, who, of course, is the man with whom she is meant to be. Kardashian was the most searched-for celebrity on Bing in 2012. She was the third most searched-for term, period, on Yahoo!. She created a stir and rumored riots simply by touching down in the Middle East. But Kim accomplished all of this without being involved in any major scandal or being ridiculously chosen to host season two of The X Factor . Yes, she started a new fashion line and, sure, she has been the subject of numerous false pregnancy rumors. However, she’s far from the only celebrity to take either of those steps. Instead, Kim Kardashian has earned herself a seemingly permanent spot on this list by merely standing on red carpets; reading scripted lines on an E! reality show and, of course, possessing very large breasts. Chatter of a second Kim Kardashian sex tape was never proven true, or else the busty brunette would have ranked much higher on this countdown. But eighth place isn’t shabby for someone who is neither an actress, a singer, a producer, an athlete, a model nor a politician. And, let’s face it, Kim already has a strong shot at #1 in 2013 after she marries and splits from Kanye.
Lindsay Lohan’s probation was revoked as expected this morning in court, but a decision on whether she’ll go to jail as a result will have to wait until January. Because she’s on probation for stealing jewelry, Lohan faces eight months in jail as a consequence of her recent arrests IF a judge decides that’s best. Lindsay was charged with lying to police and driving recklessly while crashing her Porsche on Pacific Coast Highway in June. That got her probation revoked today. She was also arrested recently for assaulting Tiffany Mitchell , and could face additional consequences for that. Needless to say, we don’t envy her position. It’s not a done deal yet by any means, though. Commissioner Jane Godfrey, who is overseeing the case, scheduled a January 15 hearing on the probation violation. If Godfrey decides Lindsay did violate her probation, she could face 245 days in jail. A conviction beyond reasonable doubt is not necessary to lock her up. Of course, Godfrey could also be lenient , and is said to is gravitate more toward second chances than jail, so Lindsay could totally skate yet again. Figures. Should Lindsay do hard time? Vote below : Yes, that train wreck brat will never learn otherwise! No, quit trying to make an example out of her, haters! View Poll »
Teen Mom 2 was back with another new episode last night, one that featured Jeremy Calvert’s first appearance and apparently Jordan Wenner’s last. How did it all go down? Find out in THG’s official +/- recap! Kailyn Lowry meets up with the friend she meets up with for obligatory, forced conversations about her relationships, and debates cutting Jordan loose. Later she tells him he’s overbearing and doesn’t trust her. He says he does trust her, she’s just kind of shady. No points ? We don’t know how to score that. Out with friends again, she notes that she doesn’t really miss Jordan at all, so that was probably a good move … except he was really good with Isaac. She decides to meet up with him to discuss things, but Jordan is nowhere to be found … and already “hanging out with someone else.” BURN Kails. Minus 20 . Jenelle Evans prepares to spend 45 days in jail, per her lawyer’s suggestion, despite missing Jace‘s second birthday and the lack of Ke$ha that jail time entails. She points out to BFF Tori that Jace’s dad Andrew hasn’t contacted her or Jace. We forgot who the dad even was. Not a good sign, most likely. Minus 80 . Jenelle Evans and Tori make a pact to not smoke weed anymore, and writes a heartfelt letter to her probation officer as well. Plus only 50 , because come ON. She writes that she was “screaming” all night for someone to let her out of her cell, and this was the wakeup call she needed. Ah, the life of Jenelly. “So are you going to stay off the weed?” – Bahbrah. Plus 50 . Jace turns two and Jenelle gets him a slip-and-slide at least, then spends like an entire day in the little guy’s honor … who is this girl and where is Jenelle Evans ? Plus 200 . Lawyer Dustin reports that her probation officer “surprisingly” liked the letter, and believes she will change. That should keep her out of jail … BUT FOR HOW LONG?! Plus 50 for making it an entire episode without a meltdown. Leah Messer is totes getting serious about a friendship with a guy on Facebook. “I get really serious, really fast,” she confesses, and ain’t that the truth. No points, because it has its positives and negatives, especially for Ali and Aleeah. She’s also got college to worry about apparently. Yes, college! Plus 100 . Later, Leah does reach out to Jeremy Calvert, and they go on a date and have tons of fun. He even passes the interrogation of tough questions. Plus 50 . Family friend Kathy watches the girls as Leah goes off to school, which she finds much harder than she thought. Hopefully she sticks with it more than a week. OMG, Leah Messer gets a surprise bouquet of flowers from Jeremy! Plus 50 , because we have a feeling things are going to last between these two. Chelsea Houska , as always, is trying to deal with the men in her life. After taking a few practice GED tests, she’s gonna take the exam for real. The stress of not talking to Adam is, like, wicked stressful though. OMFG. Minus 90 . Naturally, this being Chelsea Houska and all, she goes over to her dad‘s, and blames him for her breakup with Adam, shouting “You got too involved!” Minus 110 . Randy, as always, runs down the laundry list of reasons why Adam sucks and he hates him, and notes that Chelsea is just being used. No sugar coating here. Plus 100 . Meanwhile, Adam tells his tattoo artist that being single is “bomb.” Good to know Adam’s priorities are in line. Deadbeat Dad 4 Lyfe. Word. Minus 300 . Chelsea decides to get a puppy. No points , because it is sweet and all, and a lot less of a b!tch than Adam, but she clearly can’t handle more responsibility. Will she ever take that GED and/or get over this guy? Place your bets (on no). EPISODE TOTAL: +50! SEASON TOTAL: -1,560!
Chris Brown just caught a huge break, as prosecutors FINALLY decided they will not charge the singer for stealing some girl’s phone earlier this year. A police report was filed against Brown in February for “robbery by sudden snatching” after he allegedly grabbed a fellow club-goer’s iPhone in Miami. “Bitch, you ain’t going to put that on no website,” he told her in classic, eloquent Chris fashion. But after a thorough investigation, the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s office “determined we are not taking any type of criminal action ,” according to TMZ. “We have forwarded our findings to Los Angeles for the probation case review after conducting the same process that every criminal case in Miami-Dade County undergoes.” Officials say rapper Tyga was interviewed as a witness in the case, as the iPhone ultimately ended up in the hands of Devon Blanche, head of Tyga’s security team. According to police, Blanche told investigators: “Chris may have taken [the phone] because Brown is known to be especially concerned that if photographs of himself with two females got out, it might cause him problems with Rihanna.” This was in February, when Brown was still dating Karrueche Tran . Tran also issued a statement during the investigation, in which she said the woman who owned the phone had stuck it in Brown’s car … and struck Karrueche in the head. During the incident, Tran claims the woman dropped the phone in the car and it was eventually tossed out the window. Different than Tyga’s tale, to be sure. Ultimately though, prosecutors say it’s plausible that the woman did put her phone in the car and that Brown simply “[removed] from the vehicle an object which didn’t belong there.” In that scenario, he wouldn’t have broken any laws. If Chris were to be prosecuted, it would have triggered a probation violation for him back in L.A., where he’s still on probation for the 2009 Rihanna beating. It would’ve also capped off quite a week for Chris, who has taken serious heat for his vulgar Twitter beef with Jenny Johnson , a comedian “hater.”
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula has had plenty of time on his hands to think about the violent unrest that his crude 14-minute YouTube video, Innocence of Muslims , caused, and he has no regrets. Nakoula, who’s stewing in a Los Angeles jail because he violated the conditions of his probation stemming from a fraud conviction unrelated to the movie, told the New York Times in an interview “that he would go to great lengthys to convey what he called ‘the actual truth’ about Muhammad.’ In Nakoula’s first public comments since landing back in the clink, he explained that before he wrote the script to what became Innocence of Muslims — an early draft was called The First Terrorist — he thought, “I should burn myself in a public square to let the American people and the people of the world know this message that I believe in.” He also cited the 2009 massacre at Fort Hood, Tex. in which U.S. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan killed 13 people and wounded 29 others on the military base. Nakoula’s interview is part of a larger investigative piece about the making of Innocence of Muslims that the paper calls “a bizarre tale of fake personas and wholesale deception,” adding: “as with almost everything touched over the years by Mr. Nakoula — a former gas station manager, bong salesman, methamphetamine ingredient supplier and convicted con man — it is almost impossible to separate fact from fabrication.” The Times story indicates, by the way, that there’s more to Innocence of Muslims than just a 14-minute YouTube clip. The finished film is apparently one hour and 30 minutes long. [The New York Times] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
Despite being a compulsive liar and having no one else to blame but herself for probably two-thirds of her problems, Lindsay Lohan remains convinced police are out to get her. Lohan, who is facing jail time for her most recent probation violation, is telling friends that the cops have a vendetta against her and will stop at nothing to bring her down. Best of all, Lindsay is STILL CLAIMING that she wasn’t driving when her Porsche slammed into a truck in June. Officials do not concur and will charge her with lying to police . LiLo claimed she was a passenger in her car, and that her assistant was the one who was actually driving and caused the Pacific Coast Highway Crash. Yet witnesses say she was in fact behind the wheel . Obviously. Lindsay is said to be “terrified” of going back to jail, especially since Judge Stephanie Sautner made it clear she would revoke her probation and send her ass back there. If she breaks the law again, that is. Sautner can revoke probation on mere suspicion – without having to wait for a conviction – of a crime, but it remains to be seen if she will. She’s tough, but fair after all. Lindsay says she’s done a good job obeying the law since her no contest plea in the jewelry heist case, which tells you a lot about her self-perception problems. Still, she plans to throw herself at the mercy of the court, supposedly, in an attempt to stay out of the pokey. What do you think: should Lindsay Lohan do hard time ? Yes, that train wreck brat will never learn otherwise! No, quit trying to make an example out of her, haters! View Poll »
Sienna Miller may have given birth in July , but fans of the actress can enjoy the sight of her knocked up by Tom Sturridge for all of eternity, thanks to artist Jonathan Yeo. He has pained a portrait of Miller naked and pregnant, which will be included in his “(I’ve Got You) Under My Skin” exhibition at the Circle Culture Gallery in Berlin. “I wanted an image that epitomized the human body in its most naturally beautiful state,” Yeo says of the idea, adding: “It has been 22 years since a pregnant Demi Moore caused uproar by posing for Annie Leibovitz on the cover of Vanity Fair . In that time society has become almost completely desensitized to the daily exposure to people who have surgically distorted their appearance for artificial reasons. “Yet certain sections of society are still uncomfortable with the appearance of pregnancy and images of naked expectant mothers are rarely seen.” Rarely seen? That’s not exactly true, as these celebrities have proven over the years: What do you think of the Sienna Miller portrait? It is… So hot! So not! View Poll »
Should Lindsay Lohan go to jail? We ask that question on a regular basis, we realize, but prosecutors are likely to push for it for real this time, with the star facing charges of lying to police . The L.A. City Attorney will reportedly ask the judge to throw the embattled actress in jail for violating terms of her probation in Lohan’s ncklace theft case . “Prosecutors and cops think there is more than enough evidence for the judge to find Lindsay in violation of her probation,” a source close to the situation said. “They are hopeful that this time, she will face the maximum penalty for lying to cops. Remember, the burden is much lower for a probation violation.” “Just the fact that Lindsay will be charged with a crime is enough.” As previously reported, Lohan rear ended a dump truck on Pacific Coast Highway last summer. She initially tried to claim her assistant was the one driving. Compounding matters? The tow truck driver Lindsay rear ended, James Johnson, will testify that her camp tried to pay him off immediately after the accident. Johnson has also told cops that Lindsay was “absolutely trying to leave the scene of the accident without exchanging information with him,” an insider says. “Prosecutors are extremely frustrated that Lindsay continues to act as if she is above the law and feel the system hasn’t punished her harshly enough.” We’ll see if that changes. Lindsay remains on probation, and under the terms of her probation, must obey all laws, which she obviously is incapable of doing. Will she pull a legal rabbit out of her hat again? Time will tell. What do you think: Should Lindsay Lohan do time? Yes, that train wreck brat will never learn otherwise! No, quit trying to make an example out of her, haters! View Poll »
