Snooki ::Car Crash

Snooki seems to be back in form for Jersey Shore Season 4 in Italy. The reality star formerly known as Nicole Polizzi had been trying to change some things before the new season, as she is on a new weight loss regimen. However, some things may not change so easily for the icon, given that she's already been questioned for crashing into cop cars.
According to the New York Post, Snooki may soon face charges for crashing into a patrol car in Florence, and putting two police officers in the emergency room. Naturally, she wasn't alone in her car, as fellow friend/cast member Deena and several production crew members were there with her.
This is certain to make for big footage when the new season premieres, and fuel anticipation to see the Jersey Shore kids in Italy. Their oversea adventures haven't even aired yet, but they seem to be living up to the highest/lowest expectations.
This isn't the first time that a cast member has been cited for bad driving, as the Post alleges that the gang has racked up $400 in traffic fines. They only arrived in Italy earlier this month, yet it appears they are already turning the country upside down.
Snooki is the first one to actually endanger someone in the process and get in trouble with the cops, though. But this isn't the first time she's been locked up during filming: She was arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct while Season 3 was in production. In fact, it was turned into the climax for the "Where's the Beach?" episode; this latest ordeal should inspire another special episode as well.
This could at least disturb Snooki's new weight loss plan, as she revealed to Radar Online last week that she is trying to slim down. She confessed that if she doesn't work out once a day, she can "freak out" but now she has even more to freak out about at the moment.
No matter what the reality icon looks like, her wild and crazy behavior will always be a constant about her. That's what made her and the Jersey Shore cast so big, and that's why MTV is counting on them to be even wilder and crazier in Italy.
At the least, the network can turn this incident into a big event at some point in Season 4. Although it landed two cops in the hospital and got Snooki in more legal trouble, it will soon be nothing more than the latest plot twist and cliffhanger for the show.

Ashley Hebert :: finding her true love

Ashley Hebert is one week closer to finding her true love! Or at the very least, she'll find the man who outlasts the rest on The Bachelorette.

In tonight's episode, Ashley got to actually date the suitors, so it was time for group dates and one-on-ones. Host Chris Harrison warned the men that if they didn't get a rose during their one-on-one dates with Ashley, they would immediately be sent home. As for the group date, only one man would be getting a rose at the end of the night.
Oh, and there was a dance battle among the guys. Can't make this stuff up…

The first lucky one-on-one date was awarded to William, and that date included a private jet to Las Vegas. And since Ashley's endgame is to get married, it's only understandable that the two go on a little wedding adventure. Nothing says "first date" like wedding errands: cake tasting, ring shopping and eventually heading to the chapel. Ashley then cranked up the heat on the relationship pressure cooker by practicing a walk down the aisle. William, albeit looking a little nervous, admitted that this was the best first date he had ever been on. During dinner, he shared his dreams of becoming a stand-up comic and talked about the death of his dad. Afterward, Ashley awarded William with a rose, and the making-out commenced in the middle of the Bellagio fountain.
Then it was time for the group date! Chris, Ben F., Ryan M., Nick, Constantine, Bentley, Blake, Matt, Lucas, Ames, Stephen, and West all get an invite to Vegas, where Ashley is waiting with America's Best Dance Crew alum Jabbawockeez. If you thought the guys were going to simply watch a dance battle to help fuel their competitive fire…you'd be kind of right. Instead, the boys have to separate into two teams and come up with a dance routine for Ashley. The winning team stays and performs later that night for a crowd of 2,000, and the losing team heads back to Los Angeles. Ready? Dance off!
The two teams are named The Best Men and No Rhythm Nation. Because we can't possibly put into words what a bunch of grown men who are not proffessional dancers performing a dance-off look like, we'll just inform you that No Rhythm Nation wins. At the after party, Ashley has mini-individual dates with everyone, and because Bentley has mad game ("She's got a nice butt"), he gets the rose at the end of the night.

Jessica Chastain ::Worried

Jessica Chastain is worried that she might be the first unknown actress everyone will get sick of.
The 30-year-old redhead plays Brad Pitt's wife in filmmaker Terrence Malick's "Tree of Life" which was awarded the top prize at the Cannes film festival last week.

The movie, a meditation on life set against the background of a Midwestern family in the 1950s that also stars Sean Penn, arrives in select U.S. movie theaters on Friday.
But that's not the only film the newcomer has on her resume, nor the only A-list actors and directors who want to work with her.
Later this summer Chastain stars in the drama "The Help," based on Kathryn Stockett's best-selling novel; "The Debt," an espionage drama starring Oscar-winner Helen Mirren; and the crime drama "The Fields" opposite Sam Worthington.
Two more of her films are scheduled to come out this fall -- one opposite Al Pacino -- and still others in 2012.

"I've made 11 films, nine are (waiting for release), Chastain told Reuters in an interview. "I'm a little worried that people will get sick of me. But because the characters are so different in each film, hopefully they won't."
Blame it on Malick, the semi-reclusive but revered filmmaker who gave Chastain her big break in "Tree of Life." Though the director's films -- including "Badlands" and "The Thin Red Line" -- are hardly commercial hits, the critical acclaim they engender makes Hollywood sit up and take notice.
"Tree of Life" was shot three years ago but Chastain said her association with the film instantly "changed my world" and "opened doors for me to work with other directors."
ROBIN WILLIAMS, AL PACINO LEND A HAND
It's not the first break to come her way. A native of northern California, Chastain attended the prestigious Juilliard school in New York on a scholarship from Juilliard alumni, actor and comedian Robin Williams.
"That was huge. It paid for my apartment, my books, my tuition. It paid for me to fly back and forth to see my family," said Chastain.
Yet the actress has never met Williams.
"I know at some point I'm going to meet him and it will be really special," she said. "Because I'm the first person in my family to go to college and I feel he made that possible."
As did her grandmother, who took Chastain to see a play when she was a girl, thus inspiring the youngster to pursue acting as a career. Her grandmother also helped Chastain move to New York for college.
"I was scared to live in New York and live in a dorm and she flew with me," said Chastain.

While in her last year at Juilliard, Chastain's class went to Los Angeles to showcase their talents to the entertainment industry. From there, Chastain landed a television deal with Emmy Award-winning producer John Wells' company.
"It was a blessing because I got to live in New York and do theater and the company would fly me out to L.A. to do television," said Chastain.
The transition to film occurred when Chastain was cast in the title role of a Los Angeles theater production of Oscar Wilde's "Salome," directed by and starring Al Pacino, in 2006.
Pacino decided to also direct a film version of the play -- part documentary/part fiction -- called "Wilde Salome" with the same players. The film is now scheduled to premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September.
"I learned how an actor changes a performance from (being in) a theater of 1400 people to a single camera. Al was like my acting teacher during that whole process," Chastain said.
Things came to a head for Chastain at the Cannes film festival earlier this month where "Tree of Life" not only walked away with the Palme d'Or, but her psychological thriller "Take Shelter," with Michael Shannon, won the grand prize in the Critics Week competition.
Things got even more intense at the festival when the Prohibition-era drama "The Wettest Country in the World" -- which she shot with Shia LeBoeuf -- found itself in the middle of a bidding war with distributors. It was picked up by the Weinstein company for a release in 2012.
"I will never experience anything like that again," said Chastain of her first Cannes experience. "I'm still recovering. It was a week of living on pure adrenaline, no sleep and a lot of excitement."
