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."

Rebacca Black :: Not pregnent

Rebecca Black, a 13-year-old singer known for her mocked yet popular music video "Friday," is denying recent reports she is pregnant.
"I thought it was May 15th...not April Fools Day," Black said on her Twitter page. "I'm absolutely NOT pregnant."

"Friday" has been dubbed "the worst music video/song" ever since it was released in February and Black has been mocked online and even received death threats over the song, which led to a police investigation.

"Friday" has been viewed by more than 141 million people on YouTube and the track was covered by cast members of the hit FOX series "Glee" on an episode on May 10.

Kym Johnson :: Hospitalized

NFL star Hines Ward and his professional dance partner Kym Johnson wow America with their fancy footwork on "Dancing With the Stars," but an unexpected move Saturday during rehearsals landed Johnson in the hospital.

Ward updated fans on his 34-year-old partner's condition on Facebook and Twitter hours after the incident.

"Kym was admitted to the hospital today after falling and injuring her neck during our practice," he said.

"After several tests, she was cleared by the medical staff, though she is bruised, sore and currently wearing a neck brace," according to a statement by the show's spokesman.

Johnson plans to continue with Ward in the competition show's semifinals on Monday, and tweeted to fans, "I'm a little shaken up, sore but I will be fine."

This season of "Dancing With the Stars" has been particularly brutal for the show's contestants.

Last week Ralph Macchio suffered a ruptured cyst on the back of his knee, while dancer Mark Ballas and Kirstie Alley worked through a painful aches and sprains sustained during the show.

"It was at the point where sometimes I really couldn't walk," said the actress.

This week Lil' Romeo was eliminated from "Dancing With the Stars," leaving Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas, Hines Ward and Kym Johnson, Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff as the four remaining couples in the semi-finals.

Alicia Silverstone::welcomes baby boy

“Clueless” star Alicia Silverstone and her husband, Christopher Jarecki, welcomed a baby boy into the world last Thursday. His name: Bear Blu Jarecki.

Was he named after legendary college football coach Bear Bryant? Yogi Bear? Unclear.

It is clear that in the current Hollywood baby boom, unconventional names continue to dominate conversation. Last week, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon revealed that they named their new twins Monroe (a girl) and Moroccan (a boy), prompting a collective response of “Wha??” from the American public.

Not every celeb goes the unusual route, though. Last week, Jay Mohr and Nikki Cox announced the arrival of their son, Meredith Daniel, while former Spice Girl Emma Bunton went with the decidedly traditional Tate for her just-born baby boy.

Olivia Wilde :: End of marriage

Olivia Wilde looks like she's having a ball with her co-stars in her movies, that part's probably not an act.

"I’ve been lucky to have chemistry with my co-stars, and I really enjoy pretend kissing," Wilde, who has worked with Justin Timberlake ("Now"), Ryan Reynolds ("The Change-Up") and Daniel Craig ("Cowboys & Aliens"), tells the June issue of Glamour. "If you’re pretending to love each other, you’ve got to find something to fall in love with."

In real life, however, her romantic life has been more rocky. In February, Wilde announced that she and her Italian prince hubby Ruspoli were separating after eight years of marriage.

"It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do," says the "House M.D." star, who wed at 18. "We got engaged at Burning Man and married on a school bus. We were not conventional. I think the promise we always made was that if we are no longer happy, we won’t continue. And it got to the point where I was working 10 months of the year outside of L.A. and he was doing incredible things in other places. We were no longer partners in crime."

Wilde adds that she doesn't view the experience as a failure. "The mark of a good marriage is partnership and continuing to feel inspired by your spouse. I had that with Tao," she says. "But the end is not necessarily the tragedy. Staying in a relationship that is no longer working is the tragedy. Living unhappily—that’s the tragedy."

As for dating again, Wilde, who has been linked in recent months to Timberlake and Ryan Gosling, says she is open to being in another committed relationship.

"I don’t want to, but I probably will. I wish I could play the field. But it’s so not me," she says. "I go 100 percent into everything. And I’m a really good girlfriend."

Liv Tyler :: Dad steals her cloths

Actress Liv Tyler may be impressed with her father’s American Idol judging skills, but as it turns out, dad Steven Tyler is actually the one looking up to his daughter for fashion advice! Liv tells nymag.com that it’s no surprise she approves of her father’s sense of style, because he often draws fashion inspiration straight from her wardrobe. “My dad wears girls’ clothes — it’s so funny,”

she shares. “Sometimes I see him and I’m like, ‘Nice shirt!,’ because it’s from my closet.” But regardless of his often-questionable clothes, his proud daughter loves him just the way he is. “I think he’s really handsome. I feel really proud of him,”

she says. “I think he’s a really amazing, magical man and all those funny things that he says that people find so strange, my whole life I’ve been hearing them and they make me laugh. And I speak his language; I understand what he’s talking about.”

Paris Hilton ::Puts the Kibosh

Sexy Paris Hilton's has a perfect record this week when it comes to putting away freakishly obssessive fans.
A day after a wannabe Mr. Paris was sentenced to jail for attacking her and boyfriend Cy Waits on their way to court to testify against an alleged home intruder, the latter creep has just been found guilty of a felony.

Earlier today a Van Nuys jury returned a guilty verdict against Nathan Prada for attempted first-degree burglary. Prada was arrested last August after breaking into Hilton's Hollywood home brandishing two big knives. Waits, however, managed to get the jump on Prada and held him at gunpoint until cops arrived.

The highlight of this week's trial was the dramatic testimony of Hilton (derisively referred to as "Princess Paris" by Prada's attorney, Juan Perez) and Waits, as well as evidence presented by LAPD Det. Kevin Romine, who told jurors that Prada confessed his crime, explaining to the detective that the heist would "get [Prada] money to go live on a deserted island" as he knew "she was famous and she was from a rich family."
Prada, 31, will remain behind bars until his June 29 sentencing, when he faces up to three years in prison.
Who knows? He might be able to swap tales of Hilton-induced woe with James Rainford. The man, who accosted Hilton and Waits as they went to testify in the Prada case on Wednesday (and whom Hilton referred to in a tweet as her "other psycho intruder"), was sentenced to 227 days in jail after pleading no contest to misdemeanor battery.
Now that these guys are locked up, maybe Paris can enjoy her weekend.

Jessica Alba :Her Second Pregnancy

Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren are pregnant with their second child, and according to the actress, this time is a whole lot easier.

"Every moment was so new and kind of terrifying and now I know what to expect," she told Latina magazine. "It's like, 'It's fine, I've been there before.' With Honor, I was constantly like, 'Is she moving? Is her heart beating?' I'd worry about everything and with this baby, I don't have the same anxieties."

While her anxieties may be at bay, the star of the upcoming "Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World" is definitely having pregnancy cravings.

"Sometimes you can't get a food out of your mind," she told the mag. "I could always eat watermelon. With Honor, I loved fruit, too. It's a decent craving. You still eat cheeseburgers and pickles--you just want watermelon really bad. I don't deprive myself of anything. I eat whatever."

Jessica also has a much more relaxed approach to working out when it comes to her second pregnancy.

"I'd like to still do something five days a week, from a half hour to an hour--nothing excessive, just some moving [around]. It makes the whole pregnancy so much easier. The more fit you are, the easier the birth is, and a healthier baby you're going to have," the actress said.

Natalie Portman :: Dad's Bizarre Novel

As Natalie Portman enters the final trimester of her pregnancy, her father, a reproductive specialist, is shopping his debut novel. From micropenises to incestuous in vitro, Marlow Stern unearths the most ridiculous parts of the self-described “fertility-thriller.”

While tearfully accepting her Best Actress Oscar for Black Swan, a pregnant Natalie Portman thanked “my beautiful love Benjamin Millepied, who choreographed the film and has now given me my most important role of my life.” But before gushing about her fiancé, Portman thanked her parents “for giving [her] the opportunity to work from such an early age.” Around the same time, Portman’s father, Dr. Avner Hershlag was working too… on his self-published debut novel, Misconception.

One of the country’s most renowned reproductive specialists, the Yale-educated Hershlag is Director of the Donor Egg and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, Director of Fertility Laboratories, and Medical Director of the In Vitro Fertilization Program at the Center for Human Reproduction in North Shore, Long Island. Clearly, he knows a lot about making babies and hopefully for Portman, her situation is far from the plot of Misconception.
Dr. Hershlag’s debut novel is set in Washington D.C. and centers on Dr. Anya Krim, the fertility specialist for the President and his wife. She delivers a deformed baby with “ambiguous genitalia” who later goes missing and its mother is found dead. Krim then discovers Megan Tanner, a senator’s daughter who has been in a coma for two years, is also pregnant. Senator Tanner is the Majority Whip, and chairman of a senate committee overhearing a controversial Embryonic Stem Cell Bill in Congress. If Dr. Krim—a rape victim herself—didn’t have enough on her petri dish, the First Lady’s last-ditch effort to conceive goes haywire when her embryos are kidnapped from the lab.


And that’s only the beginning.
