Kris Humphries to Portray Himself on The Mindy Project

Move over, Kim Kardashian . Your ex is also about to make a splash on the small screen. Only instead of getting naked and taking it from Ray J, Kris Humphries will be making a guest-starring appearance on an episode of The Mindy Project Season 2. According to TV Guide, the Boston Celtics power forward will play himself. It’s unclear what brings The Hump into Mindy’s world, although the sitcom’s title character does often reference television and pop culture. Last year, fellow NBA players Amar’e Stoudemire and Danny Granger also stopped by the series, showing up at a club Mindy and her colleagues frequented. This gig will mark Humphries’ first acting role, though many believe he was merely reading from a script every time he appeared on camera during his courtship of Kim. Kardashian, meanwhile, has appeared on Drop Dead Diva and How I Met Your Mother and also helps anchor the legendary Ray J sex tape .

Paula Deen RIPS Lisa Jackson Over Bogus Racism Allegations, Lawsuit

Paula Deen has filed a blistering response to the lawsuit that is torpedoing her career, claiming Lisa Jackson embellished or made up her racism allegations. Yes, Paula admitted using racial slurs in the deposition she gave, but remember that she has NOT admitted anything Jackson has accused her of. Deen said, under oath, that she has used racial epithets in the past, in conversations with friends and family – never in a discriminatory situation. She is fuming that Jackson, who was fired as manager of Uncle Bubba’s Seafood and Oyster House, is actually asking for damages based on racism. Citing discrimination and harassment, Lisa Jackson claims she is “African-American adjacent” – her partner has a biracial niece, she claims in the lawsuit. According to Deen, Jackson’s niece is NOT African-American , but Hispanic. Also, Paula is furious that Jackson alleges she used the n-word in connection with her brother Bubba’s wedding, yet has never offered any proof of this. Thus, Deen feels she was deposed in a lawsuit and forced to admit having used shameful – but quite possibly irrelevant – terms based on bogus claims. As we know, in the wake of the scandal, she’s been fired by Food Network … and Walmart, Caesars, Smithfield Foods, Target, and (sort of) QVC. The celebrity chef wants the case thrown out, and for a judge to throw the book at Jackson, fining her with sanctions for creating a BS harassment case. Stay tuned …

Game of Thrones Season 4: The Red Viper Cast!

We may not be heading back to the Seven Kingdoms any time soon, but HBO has cast the first major role on Game of Thrones Season 4 . Pedro Pascal – who has appeared on episode of Red Widow, Graceland and The Good Wife – will come on board next year as The Red Viper, the cunning Prince of Dorne who has a score to settle in the Westeros capital: His sister was among those murdered when Mad King Aerys was overthrown by Robert Baratheon and the Lannisters. David Benioff and Dan Weiss told Entertainment Weekly that casting the role was “tough” because the prince is sexy and charming… but also dangerous and inspired by hate. In a fun tease for future episodes, the creators added of The Red Viper: “He wasn’t easy to find and he won’t be easy to stop.”

Blue Ivy Carter Photos: All Hail the Princess!

Bow down to B.I.C. Beyonce and Jay-Z’s 18-month-old little girl, Blue Ivy Carter, has always been royalty. Now she has the crown to prove it, as Bey shared on her Tumblr: While a frequent sharer of Blue Ivy Carter photos , mom is not one for the generic, posed snapshots. She tends to get crafty with her photo artwork. She also posted images of light peach dress of Blue Ivy’s on a clothes hanger, and another of the toddler’s tiny, hot pink heels on her hot mama’s foot. Check out those pics, plus an adorable shot of mom and daughter, below: Stylish and rich beyond comprehension she may be, but Blue’s still a kid. This picture of her itty-bitty finger poking at Beyonce’s face from a baby carrier is one of those timeless moments any parent (or human) can appreciate. Most kids don’t go backstage and superstars’ concerts, but alas. Here’s one of our new favorite Beyonce pics from any year:

Brian Austin Green Upped to Anger Management Series Regular

Brian Austin Green is in need of some Anger Management . The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum and husband of Megan Fox has been promoted by that FX sitcom and will return at midseason as Sean, the boyfriend of Charlie’s ex-wife Jen. He made three appearance on Season 1 and will serve as a foil to Sheen’s lead therapist. The series is in panic mode these days because Sheen forced the firing of Selma Blair . It is now scrambling to fill her spot by sending out a casting notice for a new female love interest, while hoping this Green news can help turn around sagging ratings. As for Green? Yes, he’s stuck working with Charlie Sheen every day. But then he goes home to Megan Fox every night. We do not feel sorry for him.

Sam Mendes NOT Confirmed to Direct Next Bond Film

Sam Mendes, you’re  killing us! After he insisted he didn’t want to direct any more Bond films, Mendes had reportedly signed on to helm  Bond 24 , and was even working on a deal for  Bond 25 . But, that no longer seems to be the case. During a red carpet event for the opening of his West End theatrical production of  Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , Mendes insisted he’s been too focused on the new play to deal with  Bond . When asked about his involvement with the next Bond film, Mendes said “I don’t know yet. I’m in discussion over the ‘B’ word and I won’t make any decision until this [play] is open.” Regardless of whether Mendes is directing it, we do know that Daniel Craig will return to play 007. We also know about the sexy new Bond girl: Penelope Cruz . That’s good enough for now.
