Britney Spears’ rumored boyfriend David Lucado can drop “rumored” from his title. The duo was not shy about showing their affection for one another when they were seen out and about in Thousand Oaks, Calif., on Friday, doin’ some shopping. Walking across the parking lot at The Oaks, the pair laughed and held hands – their first known-on-film PDA and one clearly designed as a coming-out of sorts. “She was here with her guy and she shopped for quite a while,” an onlooker says of the ex -X Factor judge. “She looked good! They were just casual and normal .” Britney Spears rocked a black-and-pink fitted frock with brown sandals and a pair of gold-rimmed aviator sunglasses, while David Lucado was his casual, cool self. The pop superstar’s new man is reportedly just a regular guy. He works at a law firm and does not have any show business ties or money to speak of. So, in short, he’s perfect? “He’s a good boy. He’s from a good family,” a family source says of the Virginia native, Spears’ first beau since she called off her engagement to Jason Trawick. “David grew up on a farm. He does alright for himself but he is just very nice and down to earth. What you see is what you get. He’s into restoring old cars and golf.” And apparently Britney Spears.
We interrupt this broadcast with breaking news of the zombie apocalypse. The Montana Television Network said that the Emergency Alert System of Great Falls affiliate KRTV and its local CW station were hacked Monday. Pretty sure they’re correct. Watch it go down live below! Hacker Warns of Zombies on Local News The hacker(s) hilariously activated the emergency warning system to broadcast that “dead bodies are rising from their graves” in several Montana counties. No word if the perp(s) were inspired by The Walking Dead Season 3 premiere the night before … or if they are actually rogue zombies themselves. Scary. The alert claimed the bodies were “attacking the living” and warned people not to “approach or apprehend these bodies as they are extremely dangerous.” So we’ve heard. The network says there is no emergency and its engineers are investigating. Whomever is responsible for this will surely be eaten alive … sorry. The Great Falls Tribune reports the hoax alert generated at least four calls to police to see if it was true. Absurd, but it did use the actual alert system.
Not even two months off the air can slow down The Walking Dead . AMC’s smash hit drew a ridiculous 12.3 million viewers last night, easily setting a record for the largest audience to ever tune in for a scripted cable drama. Moreover, 7.7 million of those viewers were in the advertiser-friendly 18-49-year-old demographic, a figure that would beat nearly ever series on network television. “When you look at numbers like this, the first thing that comes to mind is how grateful we are to the fans of this show. They embrace ‘The Walking Dead’ in a way that we wanted to believe was possible but we never take for granted,” said Charlie Collier, AMC’s president. “The cast and crew put everything they have into making this show. They’re a phenomenally talented group who truly give their all. We congratulate everyone involved.”
It was the private plane loan heard ’round the world. After Lindsey Vonn suffered major injuries and was airlifted to a hospital at the Alpine World Championships in Austria, she got a lift from Tiger Woods. Walking on crutches after tearing two ligaments in her right knee and fracturing her shin, the skier hopped aboard the golf legend’s private jet. Is was a clear sign that the rumors of Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn dating are true, and now sources close to the pair are confirming it as well. Says one close source: “Tiger and Lindsey have been friends for a while, and nothing started out romantically at all. But they really have a lot in common and got closer and closer.” “He still refers to her as ‘my very good friend,’ but he’s been spending more and more time thinking about her, and talking to her, and talking about her.” Last month, Vonn’s reps tried to deflect the rumors , saying her “focus is solely on competing and on defending her titles” but offering no denials. But another source says Tiger Woods, 37, and Lindsey Vonn, 28, talk and text frequently and while they’re taking it slow, it’s definitely romantic: “Tiger really does want a woman who he can have good conversations with. He wants shared interests and outlooks. He is finding that with [Lindsey].” Woods, of course, made international headlines in 2009 when he was linked to dozens of women while still married to his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren. Since then, he has dated sporadically, and struggled to find his golf game as well as someone who wanted a relationship for the right reasons. “She’s not freaked out by his past,” says the source. “That really appeals to him. He really does deserve to be happy. He has been flogging himself for three years, and it’s good to see him moving forward.” Presumably the source means metaphorically. In any case, Woods has been feeling it on the golf course lately, so 2013 could mark quite the personal and professional turnaround for Tiger. Especially with Lindsey on the shelf and recovering from her crash for the better part of the year. More quality time with her man … just saying. Silver linings.
My name is Isidora and this is MBE! I’m 16 years old and I live in Orion, Michigan . I’m going to tell you every little detail, so I hope you’re all ready. It all started around when Believe Tour tickets went on sale. Throughout the school year my friend Amanda and I would always joke going into class saying, “I WON JUSTIN TICKETS!” It got to the point to where we kinda gave up on even going to the concert. It was Thanksgiving break on a Tuesday, around 3 p.m. on November 20th. Amanda texted me and said, “I got Justin tickets, do you want to go?” I thought it was all a joke but I immediately accepted the offer. Later that day I went to her house to hangout. We went to the mall to find a cute outfit, and left with absolutely nothing. Later that night we watched ‘Never Say Never’ and got all hyped up! The next morning we woke up with Bieber on our minds. It was November 21st 2012, and OUR concert date! We danced to all of Justin’s songs all day; while eating breakfast, while finding our outfits, while getting ready and anything you could think of. Throughout the playlist OLLG came on, and we paused. I said, “I wonder if he’s doing OLLG at this Believe Tour?” Amanda Youtube’d it, and sure enough he was. My heart broke. I was so upset that I’d be in a stadium full of girls, and one would be the OLLG. Pure jealously at its finest. Around 5:30 p.m we pulled up the Palace of Auburn Hills and see all these cars and paintings on cars: “HONK IF YOU LOVE JUSTIN”, “I’M JUSTIN’S OLLG”, “BELIEVE TOUR 2012!” Amanda and I were freaking out. We parked, and rushed to will call to our tickets. We still had no idea where our seats were. Walking up the palace stairs we were shaking, We walked through our entrance to our seats, Section 114. The lady told us to walk all the way down Row CC. Then another lady said, “Keep going, 3 rows from the floor!” WE FLIPPED! We couldn’t believe how close we were, for only had paying $90 each ticket. I said to Amanda, “How are we suppose to compete against all of these girls, to be the OLLG?” and she said to me, “We don’t..” The concert began around 7 p.m., and Carly Rae Jepson hit the stage! The countdown for Justin went down, and everyone started to scream inside. None of this felt real. I couldn’t believe I was seeing my idol for the second time in concert. Towards the middle of the concert Justin went into one of the metal things that levitate him around the stadium and I think he was singing “Fall” or one of this slower songs and a spotlight went over Amanda and I for about 40 seconds, and JUSTIN POINTED! I could NOT breathe. A song or two later, Justin began preforming “Beauty and a Beat” and I got SO EXCITED! I started dancing, making up my own moves and all when I saw Kenny Hamilton, and Justin’s Grandma walk by! I tried getting their attention just to wave hello, but it didn’t work. So I continued to dance, and body rock! A couple seconds later a lady came and grabbed my arm with a tight grip, and she finger motioned a “Come here.” I turned to look at Amanda confused. I grabbed my phone and continued to walk with this lady. I asked her if I was in trouble, and she responded with, “No, just keep walking.” I was so scared. I thought I was getting tossed out for being in the wrong seat. I soon came to realization that I was going backstage. I was still so confused. I think it was Allison that took me backstage, not positive. As soon as I got backstage Pattie came and hugged me at the waist, and asked me how I was . I shrieked, “GOOD, you??” It felt like I was back there for a good 20 minutes, but it was probably like 8-10. Pattie looked at Allison, and said, “Do you know who she reminds me of?” and Allison goes “Who?” and Pattie goes “Selena, dontcha think?” I THOUGHT I HAD DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN! Allison said “Yeah, she’s so bubbly, enthusiastic, fun and not shy, And I love that!” and I responded with “Awe thank you!, put “picked” me….?” And Pattie reminded her to tell me. “Do you want to go on stage with Justin?” Allison says, I could hear Justin onstage saying, “Is my OLLG out there somewhere? Where is she?” I walked up a staircase with Allison and talked with a girl, and Dan Kanter as he threw guitar pics at me. I talked with one of Justin’s dancers as he asked me if I knew how to dance, I just laughed and said no. Then Allison goes, “She does too! She made like her own choreography to Beauty and a Beat!” Allison and some other crew members told me, “Please don’t be boring, be the girl I picked out in the crowd!” As soon as I got the queue, I walked onstage with Justin’s dancer and he guided me to Justin’s hand. As soon as I saw Justin I didn’t know what to think. I looked out into the crowd, and all I could see was lights. I could only see about the first 10 rows on the floor. Justin sat me down on the chair, and I just smiled instantly. I honestly just wanted to get up and dance. So many thoughts went through my head, “Should I kiss him?” “Should I put my legs on top of his?” “Should I stand up and dance?” Justin placed the flower crown on my head. It was so hard to keep it on my head. It fell off, and I whispered, “OH SHIT.” Justin tried not to laugh, as he sang, but he smiled big and closed his bright brown eyes as he picked up the crown from behind me, swiping my back and placing it beautifully on my head! By the end of the song, Justin asked, “What’s your name?” and I said “Isidora” and he said “What is it?” and I just repeated. Then Justin says “GIVE IT UP FOR ISIDORA!” and I grabbed his hand and ran off stage. When we got back there he grabbed both my hands, and said, “Thank you so much, Have a grrreeeattt night!” then he ran away. Allison asked me how it was and all I could say was, “The best experience I’ll ever have.” Allison walked me back to my seat and I greeted Amanda and just hugged her as she cried. I gave her one of Dan’s guitar pics , and thanked her. I’m so blessed to have such amazing friends. Looking back it now, I thought it would NEVER happen to me, but hey, NEVER SAY NEVER. -@ I_Mavrogiorgis See more here: My name is Isidora and this is MBE! I’m 16 years old and I…

LAUREN COHAN is on The Walking Dead…a popular show I’ve never watched cuz I’m too lame to hang with the cool kids…and I’m not allowed to like what the mainstream like….cuz the mainstream doesn’t ever invite me to its birthday party…..but more importantly….cuz I just assume a Zombie show created because of Zombie hype..based on a comic book…is garbage and I won’t give it a chance….at least I can pretend I’m just too cool and above it all…sitting on my throne of dog shit in a basment apartment that is around 0 degrees thanks to quality craftmanship when this low cost housing dump was built…. I guess with being on a popular show…comes getting exposure…and getting exposure that sell magazines when magazines are kinda dead and should be free anyway….require semi hot pics….leading to these shots of this girl in her one-piece that all you nerd and AMC show loving freaks will probably really like lookin at…
A look into the Miami thug culture sheds some light on what people already expected… they are on them heavy drugs down there! It’s a new era… these people are the walking dead! It’s not just dank and drank… it’s pills and yayo… like that’s cool? Turn the pages and see what is going on with the Miami movement.
Until today, I thought Legendary Pictures ‘ effort to make yet another contemporary Godzilla reboot was a seriously misguided idea. I know that almost 15 years have passed since Roland Emmerich’s 1998 take on the reptilian Japanese scream queen hit theaters, but that movie was such a dark, senseless and empty mess that it effectively killed my once fervent love of the big-ass monster genre. Okay, so there were other contributing factors, too, like terrorists in planes who managed to knock down the two largest buildings in New York. When that happens, big mutant lizards don’t exactly cut it anymore. But I digress. Emmerich’s Godzilla debuted three years before 9/11, and the thing that’s most infuriating about the movie is his tiresomely conventional attempt to top the original Japanese movies by just making his reboot bigger, noisier and more Godzilla -ier. The same goes for Diddy, then Sean Puff Daddy Combs, who contributed an equally bombastic song to the soundtrack, “Come With Me,” that, as far as I’m concerned is a sacrilegious use of Jimmy Page’s great guitar riff from Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir.” (Page apparently didn’t think so at the time. He appeared in the crap-tastic video for the song, which references the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.) The more ambitious thing to do would have been to mine the campier, Mystery Science Theater 3000 – worthy elements of the Godzilla movies, such the Peanuts, the Japanese twin-sister singing group who played the tiny priestesses that were able to communicate with Godzilla’s winged rival, Mothra . But who am I kidding? Emmerich doesn’t deal in subtlety or wit. The reality is, that whether it’s Emmerich’s fault or not, movies about giant mutant creatures terrorizing a city or town don’t move the needle anymore unless they think smaller — on a human scale. J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 and the Abrams-produced Matt Reeves-directed Cloverfield worked for that very reason. The monsters in those films were really catalysts for interesting human drama. To a lesser extent, I felt the same way about Gareth Edwards’ Monsters , so my interest was piqued when he was hired to direct Godzilla and, at Comic Con last summer, promised “a grounded and realistic film that isn’t particularly sci-fi,” according to a CinemaBlend post at the time. Well, to paraphrase Leonardo DiCaprio’s signature line in Django Unchained , Legendary had my curiosity, but now they have my attention with the news, reported by Deadline , that Frank Darabont is rewriting the Godzilla script. The beauty of The Walking Dead under Darabont was that the human conflict and relationships taking place over the first two seasons of the AMC series was way more compelling than the creative zombie deaths. Each of the survivors was a distinct, fully fleshed character that I grew to care about over the course of the series, and that made their peril all the more intense and terrifying. Factor in the excellent script Darabont wrote for The Shawshank Redemption and, although the odds are pretty steep, if anyone can make me care about big-ass mutant lizard again, it’s him.

From a soldier-turned-spy-turned-confused-lover to the transformation of a high school junior into a vampire, the world of television was filled with plenty of jaw-dropping moments in 2012. And we’ve collected the 12 best below. As part of our year-end series (check out our Top Memes of 2012 , along with the Top Videos of the past dozen months), THG now takes readers through the small screen scenes and developments that left us uttering: O… M…G! ——————————————- 12. The Grey’s Anatomy plane crash . Was it typically contrived drama from Shonda Rhimes? Of course. But long-time viewers of this ABC favorite can’t deny the deadly impact of that flight hitting the ground in May. 11. Bill Compton goes bad . Yes, True Blood Season 5 really went there. Every time you thought Sookie’s first love would admit he was simply playing a long con, the series continued to drive the shocking fact home: Bill really did believe every evil word out of his mouth. Then he turned into some kind of gooey new being. 10. Gossip Girl is revealed . Just a couple years ago, this would have been in contention for top moment of the TV year. But The CW drama fell out of favor even with long-time fans and, by the end of its run, was drawing under one million viewers per week. Dan Humphrey as Gossip Girl? Not a bad choice, but we stopped caring ages ago. 9. Game of Thrones, “Blackwater.” Just the entire episode. Not just the most action-packed hour of Game of Thrones Season 2 , or the most action-packed hour of television in 2012. Probably the most action on the small and big screen of the past year. Amazing visuals all around. 8. Opie has got this . One of the saddest deaths of the year took place early on Sons of Anarchy Season 5 , as a lead pipe to the skull led to the demise of Ryan Hurst’s tough, big-hearted character. A stunning, violent death and the driving force of the rest of the season. 7. And the bride-to-be is… We’re still waiting to learn the identity of the Mother, but How I Met Your Mother revealed Barney’s bride to close out Season 7. It’s Robin! We witnessed his adorable proposal to conclude this show’s run in 2012. 6. Elena, transformed! One wrong turned changed The Vampire Diaries forever, as Elena and Matt drove off the road on the Season 3 finale of this CW hit, leading to an infusion of vampire blood into the former and a shot to the heart of a series that had been floundering a bit last spring. 5. A birth and a death. The Walking Dead Season 3 has been filled with blood, gore and shocking events. But none more than Lori giving birth AND dying on the same installment. Seriously, no one on this show is safe. 4. A now! Pretty Little Liars finally unveiled the identity of A. Of course, there’s still an entire team behind this key villain, meaning the ABC Family drama may never answer its primary question. But, think about it fans, would you really want it to? 3. Lena Dunham gets naked . And does everything else, too: write, produce and star in Girls , the breakout show of the past 12 months. 2. Oh, sit! Breaking Bad finally opens Hank’s eyes to the identity of his brother-in-law, in a manner no fans of this AMC smash could have seen coming: while sitting on the toilet. There’s nothing we’re looking forward to more in 2013 than the final eight episodes of Breaking Bad season 5 . 1. Carrie gets her man. Television’s most stunning moment did not take place on a premiere or finale, but rather the fourth episode of Homeland season 2 , summing up the incredible pace of this Showtime drama. Carrie Matheson outing Brody as a spy and cuffing her nemesis/lover – this early in the program’s run – was as unexpected as anything we saw on TV all year. Our jaws haven’t left the floor since.
