Sources confirm she has split from Liam Hemsworth .
Here’s Selena Gomez at the Billboard Music Awards the other night, I guess because she still calls herself a “musician.” Which is kind of unfair, because I still call myself a “female body inspector” and nobody ever invites me to anything because of it. Anyway, in my professional opinion, Selena’s rocking some nice boobage here. Even if she looks like an extra from Tron . So enjoy. » view all 30 photos Related Articles: Selena Gomez’s Cuteness Gets Molested Selena Gomez Gets Her Cute On Selena Gomez Is A Nice Young Lady Selena Gomez Is A Sexy Babysitter Photos: WENN.com
In his personal life, it’s rather clear that Justin Bieber has found somebody to love once again: Selena Gomez . In his professional life, however, the global superstar and his very good friend are now in legal trouble for allegedly NOT having somebody to love before Devin Copeland came along. Allow us to explain… Somebody to Love Copeland has filed a $10 million lawsuit against Bieber and Usher , claiming that the duo infringed on his copyright when releasing the 2010 smash single. Copeland and writing partner Mareio Overton say they brought their track to Usher in 2008 and that he outright stole it when he helped to include it on Bieber’s “My World 2.0.” “Without any authority or consent,” the suit states, “[Manager Jonetta Patton] and Usher conspired with songwriters and producers…to directly copy Plaintiffs’ song ‘Somebody to Love,’ intending to appropriate Plaintiffs’ intellectual property as their own.” Overton supposedly heard Bieber’s version of the song on the radio, called Copeland about it and the complaints started from there. The duo is seeking $10 million in damages for copyright infringement, contributory infringement and vicarious infringement, along with a permanent injunction preventing Bieber and Usher from claiming ownership of “Somebody to Love.” No word yet in response from anyone in Justin or Usher’s camp.
At this point, it seems you have to be named Lily in order to play a fairy tale princess in a live-action adaptation. Sorry “Jessica,” not gonna happen. And you can just forget about it, “Claire.” Same goes for you, “Lilly” with two L’s. Lily James has been cast to play Cinderella in the new live-action adaptation. That’s after Lily Collins took on the role of Snow White in last year’s Mirror Mirror . James, best known for her role of Lady Rose on Downton Abbey , beat out Bella Heathcote, and Margot Robbie for the role. Kenneth Branagh will direct the film, which is set to begin production this fall for a 2014 release.
Professional adventurer/outdoors guru Bear Grylls has seen his share of gruesome injuries, but this one is on par with Kevin Ware broken leg photo . Grylls tweeted a photo earlier today with the caption, “our man vs wild producer suffering from a brutal snake bite – fighting the injury with courage.” You really don’t want or need to see the pic Grylls Tweeted. It is not worth it. We’re telling you, people. DON’T DO IT. Okay, for those who can’t resist … you’ve been warned! Yeah. Safe to say that snake was not your garden variety model. Sometimes, when it comes to Man vs. Wild … bet on Wild.
Parenting. It’s a series of trade-offs. Ups and downs. Pros and cons. In this particular case, the parents of a two-year-old boy can sleep better at night, literally, because the lil’ fella is so independent at a very young age. On the flip side, he’s already skilled at thievery. 2-Year-Old Bedtime Bandit Joann Moser, who uploaded this clip last week, wrote, “This is what our 2 year old does at night. He picks the lock to his sister’s room and takes her stuff.” The Toddler Bandit’s sister, 8, reportedly told their parents that he’s been sneaking in to steal her pillow pet at night … a claim they initially did not believe. Until they went stealth and filmed it for themselves. Pretty great.
It is officially – and legally – on between Porsha Williams and Kordell Stewart . Following the latter’s unexpected divorce filing this week, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star has fired back at her estranged husband via her very own set of court documents. And they counter Stewart’s claim that Williams is not entitled to spousal support because she’s capable of earning her own income. In what way? Porsha says her professional opportunities were set back when she quit her job and sold her business to care for Kordell’s child from another woman. She is therefore seeking alimony and sole use of the couple’s Atlanta home. According to Williams’ attorney, his client did not want to file papers because Stewart had promised he would work on his marriage with her. But with that vow broken, it’s all about to get even uglier than Stewart’s career completion percentage as an NFL quarterback.

Though smarter than your average dramedy, Paul Weitz’s forced Admission faces some major identity issues. Tina Fey plays a discombobulated Princeton admissions officer who must confront the limits of her morals when she learns that a potential Princeton applicant might be the son she gave up for adoption. What appears on paper to be an ideal three-dimensional, morally complex role for the quick-witted comedienne backfires in practice, relying on Fey to be funny in a movie that works better serious. Despite offering consolation to the world’s many Ivy League rejects that the gatekeepers sometimes make mistakes, low entrance levels await. Clearly, what Weitz wanted was to recapture some of Fey’s Baby Mama mojo (it earned a surprise $60 million, after all), relying on the actress to bring the same vulnerable uncertainty to another harried working-woman role. But that film was conceived as a traditional laffer, whereas Admission is based on Jean Hanff Korelitz’s more nuanced novel, in which Fey’s seemingly straightlaced character is thrown for a loop by a highly unusual applicant. While the book treats this wrinkle as its big surprise, the more plot-driven adaptation serves it up as a central concept, positioning Fey’s Portia Nathan as an increasingly screwball character struggling (and mostly failing) to maintain her professional ethics amid a messy personal crisis. Through a series of clunky, on-the-nose character-development scenes, the pic establishes Portia’s life — or, more accurately, her current state of denial: She’s fallen into a predictable routine with her tweedy lit-professor b.f. ( Michael Sheen ), her fastidiously clean workspace and her general intolerance of kids. Instead of indulging auds’ natural curiosity with a look inside the closed-door world of college admissions, the pic leaves Fey and her co-stars to play dress-up in a wood-paneled office where Wallace Shawn amiably poses as the dean of admissions and everybody carries around orange folders like so many hyper-efficient Oompa Loompas. The impression essentially favors Princeton as it reveals the fair, yet relatively inflexible process by which Portia and rival Corinne (Gloria Reuben) evaluate high school seniors’ essays and extracurriculars. Each folder conjures a fresh, optimistic-looking teen at the edge of the reader’s desk, the majority of whom then plummet through an invisible trapdoor after failing to meet the high threshold. With Portia and Corinne competing for a promotion, Portia throws herself into her usual visits to prospective students, giving the same canned speech at every stop until she arrives at New Quest, a newly accredited — and highly experimental — school overseen by fellow Dartmouth grad John Pressman ( Paul Rudd ). Implausibly, John remembers the day and hour Portia gave her baby up for adoption and has somehow managed to match it to his star pupil, a freakishly smart but terribly awkward teen named Jeremiah (Nat Wolff). But Pressman’s timing in revealing the information couldn’t be worse: Not only is this a sensitive time at work, but Portia’s b.f. is searching for an opportunity to break things off, and her long-frazzled relationship with her mother ( Lily Tomlin ) is coming to a boil, all of which drives Portia to behave as only movie characters do, sobbing, smooching and puking at the most inopportune moments. Other New Quest students question the value of what they see as the sexist, racist, homophobic institution Portia represents, but Jeremiah wants to attend Princeton. Problem is, he lacks the grades to get in. Watching the final admissions process, one wants to believe the officers become this invested in everyone they consider. And yet Portia goes to extremes to boost Jeremiah’s chances, manipulating co-workers and even breaking in to alter his file. The comedy feels forced as Fey works overtime to insert unnecessary zingers at the tail of every scene. If the cast weren’t so endearing, her actions could easily sour an audience on the whole experience, and Admission digs itself a hole only an ensemble this appealing can escape. Tomlin in particular enlivens her limited screentime as an irrepressible free spirit — a woman who truly understands the meaning of acceptance. Follow Movieline on Twitter .
