Did Nicole Richie get a boob job? According to reports, she did. These Us Weekly pics certainly look like the Fashion Star mentor got breast implants this summer, which the celebrity news publication asserts. “In the past, she said she wanted a breast lift, though we never thought she was serious,” a source says of Richie, who apparently reconsidered. Still, “she’s been open about it to friends,” notes the first insider. Richie flaunted her fuller physique while vacationing with pals in Mexico September 24 – a stark contrast to the flat-chested bikini photos we’re used to. The second source adds that the celebrity fashion designer wanted to improve her bustline for a very simple reason – for her husband Joel Madden. “The pregnancies took a toll,” said the source, conjuring up images you may not want. “She said breast-feeding killed what boobs she did have!” [Photo: WENN.com]
Earlier this summer, we told you how despite banking millions during their heyday as professional, annoying celebrities, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are broke. Well, according to Us Weekly , this is still the case ! Pratt, in particular, is so unpopular that his own agent won’t even answer his calls! That’s pretty bad, although you need to get a client work in order to get commission. That’s not happening, so just let it go to voicemail, are we wrong? Unemployed mountain man Spencer Pratt is very much at sea. Speaking of which, Spencer owes his former agency “hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions” from the coin he banked back when the gettin’ was good. That money, of course, is long gone, having been blown on Heidi’s “music” career, up there with Enron and Worldcom among the worst investments of all time. The whole spiritual/healing crystal thing never really panned out either. A source adds that Pratt, despite being persona non grata in L.A., calls his agent up to 30 times a day. “They just laugh or pick up and hang up,” the source said.
Before checking out Taylor Lautner’s first post-‘Twilight’ lead role, peruse our handy guide. By Kara Warner Lily Collins and Taylor Lautner in “Abduction” Photo: Lionsgate All right, Taylor Lautner fans: Today is the day you’ve been waiting for! The actor’s action-packed thriller “Abduction” has officially opened. Here at MTV News, we’ve been as excited as anyone for the 19-year-old’s first post-“Twilight” lead role, and we’ve been following the film since it was announced. Take a look through our hand-crafted guide to the John Singleton-directed film, as we present everything you need to know about “Abduction”: A New Action Star Is Born The buzz around the film began way back in February 2010, when Lionsgate Entertainment announced that Lautner would be starring in a film about a young man who sets out to learn who he really is after finding his baby picture posted on a missing-persons website. Shortly thereafter, a slew of name players were added to the cast, including Lily Collins, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Maria Bello and Alfred Molina . Just before production began in Pittsburgh, MTV News caught up with Lautner to learn about the intense training and prep work he was doing for the role, which included boxing, fight training, learning to ride a motorcycle and swimming. Selling His Strengths Once production wrapped, the promotion machine ramped up and we got our first look at photos of Lautner on set , in character and in action. One of our best pre-release moments came back in April when we were very lucky to snag an early look at the first official trailer , as well as an exclusive sit-down with Lautner during “MTV First: Taylor Lautner.” We heard trailer commentary straight from the source, as well as the challenges he faced during filming, his kissing scenes with Collins and whether he got any bumps or bruises from all the stunt work. Skills to Pay the Bills It was not long before we caught up with Lautner again in San Diego, during our Comic-Con Takeover, where we learned which seasoned Hollywood pros Lautner looked to for inspiration during filming, why Lautner was so committed to the role and how the film is different from other action thrillers out there. With about a month left before opening day, we got our first look at Lautner’s stunt work , and then we gleaned a few steamy details about a certain kissing scene from Lautner’s leading lady in the film. Collins also revealed key details about her character, Karen, and how she gets pulled into the cat-and-mouse chase with Lautner’s character, Nathan. When we caught up with the entire cast at the film’s premiere, we learned that kissing scenes are as challenging as action scenes , the young actors carried their acting weight as much as the seasoned pros, and everyone had a blast making the film. Oh and that Lautner always makes time for his fans .

Unbroken singer tells MTV News she ‘tried to make it a little more empowering.’ By Jocelyn Vena Demi Lovato Photo: MTV News Demi Lovato is back to performing live. And in addition to singing tracks off of her just-released album Unbroken , she’s also dazzling crowds with her stirring first-person rendition of Lil Wayne’s “How to Love.” Video of her singing the track has become a viral smash, and when MTV News caught up with the “Skyscraper” singer on Wednesday afternoon (September 21), she seemed pumped to talk about the cover. “I just loved the way that Lil Wayne took a risk doing the song ‘How to Love,’ and when I really listened to it, it’s such a great song.” The song is about a damaged young woman who has never really known the power of true love, but finds strengths in her experiences as the song closes out. Lovato found a female empowerment theme in the single and decided to perform it as the female character. “It has such a deep meaning to it and I wanted to perform that and I put a little spin on it and tried to make it a little more empowering,” she explained. “And I think it fit with the platform and the message that I have with my fans.” So, has Lovato heard from Wayne about her acoustic version? “No, I haven’t,” she said. “If I did, I would die of happiness.” Lovato was equally excited when we asked whether fans might soon catch her performing the track onstage with Wayne. “Oh, I don’t know,” she said. “Oh my gosh, that would be amazing. I’ve never met him in my life, so if I got to be on stage with him, I would just die.” Do you think Wayne and Demi should perform the song together? Tell us your thoughts in the comments!

‘It’s a very, very tricky part, and he was really at home with it,’ co-star Paul Giamatti tells MTV News. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Robert Pattinson Photo: FilmMagic We’ve got a load of questions about Robert Pattinson’s “Cosmopolis,” chief among them how director David Cronenberg intends to adapt a novel, penned by postmodern wizard Don DeLillo, which takes place in one day, largely within one traffic-stalled limousine. It all makes sense on the page, with so much of the action in this novel of ideas taking place in the head of Eric Packer, a young and rich asset manager who every so often hops out of his ride to sleep with women and get into violent confrontations with menacing strangers. But how all this plays out — and how strictly Cronenberg, who also penned the script, sticks to the source material — remains to be seen. If we can read into co-star Paul Giamatti’s recent comments to MTV News, it seems the film and book will retain one key similarity: It’s all about Packer. “He’s in every second of this movie,” Giamatti said of Pattinson while promoting “The Ides of March” at the Toronto International Film Festival. “The whole thing is him.” That’s a lot of pressure for a young actor who has shined in the “Twilight” films and taken on romantic dramas like “Remember Me” and “Water for Elephants,” yet has never worked with such dark, cerebral material — and a director so comfortable with such things. Nonetheless, Giamatti says Pattinson nailed the role. “He seemed absolutely great. It’s a very, very tricky part, and he was really at home with it,” he told us. “I was really impressed.” The novel intercuts, every so often, the psychotic musings of Benno Levin, the character played by Giamatti . “I get to stalk him,” the actor told us at Sundance back in January. That’s not all he does. We’ll leave it at that, lest we dive into spoiler territory. But the story gets dark. Really dark. And that’s right up Cronenberg’s alley, a director who made his name in the horror genre and has lately taken on brashly violent material like “Eastern Promises.” Cronenberg the man, however, is very different than Cronenberg the filmmaker, Giamatti assured us. “[He’s an] incredibly sane man, when you think about the movies he makes,” he said. “He’s an incredibly grounded and sweet, sane guy. It was pure pleasure. I had a great time doing it. I’m a big fan of his, so that was a very exciting thing.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Cosmopolis.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Jennifer Aniston, 42, and Justin Theroux, 40, only stayed for approximately 30 minutes, but the insider says while they were there, the actress “was really so lovely.” “She was really low maintenance,” the source adds. “[The couple] walked in together and left together … and were so relaxed.” But the outing did not end there. The duo then made their way to Il Mulino where they dined with a group of ten. “They looked happy and were always smiling,” a restaurant source tells us. “She looked [ve
The filing comes after Tareq reported his wife – a former castmember on The Real Housewives of D.C. – missing to authorities.

Xander Dane Jones born to ‘Mad Men’ actress Tuesday. By Kara Warner January Jones Photo: Stephen Lovekin/ Getty Images January Jones gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Xander Dane Jones on Tuesday. “Mom and baby are doing great,” Jones’ rep told Us Weekly. The “X-Men: First Class” and “Mad Men” actress admitted recently that choosing a baby name was harder than she thought it would be, especially given the fact that she chose not to know the sex of the baby beforehand. “I’m having a hard time,” she revealed to KRQ radio-show hosts Johnjay and Rich. “I’m looking for boy and girl names, obviously, because it’s going to be a surprise for me,” Jones said. “I love Cary Grant, I like Marilyn Monroe. That seems kind of like a celebrity thing to do, those weird names. I’m not really into that. I don’t want to be too clich

Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez have called it quits. Like for real . The relationship went downhill faster than A-Rod’s production these last two years. After a year back together, the actress and baseball star have ended their romance. “They broke up recently,” a source close to the Yankee slugger said. Their romance was marked by beach getaways, working out and the occasional douche-tastic sighting . But their careers were too big an obstacle. “She’s very busy with her career,” the source says of Bad Teacher actress Diaz, 39. As for A-Rod? “He’s had injuries and wants to focus on his game.” “They’re both dedicated and they’re both professionals.” Fair enough. So don’t expect any sort of drama in the wake of their split. “They are still very friendly and like each other very much,” the source says. “He has an enormous amount of respect for her.” [Photo: WENN.com]
