*Carrie Underwood on how her husband has softened her*




Marriage has changed a lot of things for Carrie Underwood, but one of the most surprising changes for her was how mushy it made her.
Underwood recently revealed that marriage has softened her up quite a bit, states UsMagazine.com. “I’ve never been one for mushy songs. I just don’t do mush. I can do mad. I can do sassy … The more I was around him…I’m becoming a sentimental weenie!” Underwood admitted.
And now she is probably getting even mushier as he has been transferred to the hockey team in Nashvillewhich is allowing them to be together on a regular basis.

Shriver allegedly wants to make this as easy as possible, all while keeping the costs of divorce down.
Do you think this divorce will be simple or messy?

*Khloe Kardashian suffers nip slip during morning news*



Khloe Kardashian appeared on ‘Fox & Friends’ this morning with her sister Kourtney, but only one of them ended up revealing a little too much.
Khloe was wearing a partially see-through shirt and her right nipple was reportedly in full view during the entire six-minute interview, states TMZ. No one on set seemed to notice, but viewers soon hit up Khloe’s Twitter account to inform her.

*Spoilers for “Breaking Dawn Part I” trailer*




With fewer than 24 hours to go before the first “Breaking Dawn Part I” teaser airs at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, details of what we might see are already being leaked. A Tumblr user called “MTVInsider” did not post video, but claims to have the detailed storyboard for the trailer, and posted the following text:
The trailer starts like most of the other Twilight trailers, a aerial shot of trees. We then see the Cullen’s setting up for a wedding.
TITLE CARD – You are cordially invited
Wedding guests stand up and look around.
Bella holds on to someone’s arm (most likely Charlies)
Shot of Bella’s Tiara

TITLE CARD – TO THE EVENT

Edward – I do.
Priest – You may now kiss your bride.
Edward and Bella kiss in front of everyone
TITLE CARD – THAT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING.
They dance
They swim in a waterfall
They have sex in bed.
Bella (Looking at a pregnancy test) – Edward, I’m pregnant.
Edward – No. We have to get you to Carlisle, now.
Bella – I’m keeping it.
TITLE CARD – On November 18th
Shot of the wolfpack
Jacob – Its killing her!
Edward nods.
TITLE CARD – Forever

Though, without seeing the video, it is impossible to know whether this is what we can expect, fans who have read the book will recognize this as compelling. It may also give clues as to where Part I of the film will cut off, by proving which, if any, post-birth moments will be included.

*Selena Gomez cheers on Justin Bieber at soccer game *




Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber keep getting more and more serious as the two have been hanging out in Canada.
Gomez was recently spotted cheering on her rumored boyfriend while he played in a soccer match with theStratford City team, states RadarOnline.com. He reportedly got to play for about the first five minutes of the second half.
Luckily, the team Bieber played with ended up winning the game.

*“Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” official web site launches*




For months, it’s been little more than a placeholder, but “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” Official Movie Web Site is finally showing some real activity. At first glance, it promises to be more advanced than the official “New Moon” and “Eclipse” web sites, which featured only a handful of trailers and a few official pictures in the months leading up to the film.
So far, the official “Breaking Dawn” site features 12 photos from the film, a feed from the official Twilight Facebook page, and four separate Twitter filters that follow cast, fan, fan site, and official tweets. Fans can also download the official Twilight Tracker app for iPhone and iPod. And, presumably, after this weekend’s 2011 MTV Movie Awards debut, official trailers will begin to post.

*Paris Hilton reportedly upset over ‘The View’*




Paris Hilton recently took a number of tough questions from Barbara Walters on ‘The View,’ and it seems like the whole thing has her upset.
Walters recently spoke to Hilton about her actions on her reality TV show where she complains about community service. After the show, it is rumored that Hilton threw a fit backstage, states TMZ.
It is also reported that Hilton and her father complained to producers about how the interview was handled.

*Prince William, Kate Middleton head to the races,news*




Prince William and Kate Middleton are keeping things low-key as the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge having recently stepped out for Derby Day in Epsom, England.
Middleton wore a cream-colored outfit that was paired with a brown hat, states UsMagazine.com. The event was part of the Epsom Derby and had the couple also hanging out with William’s brother, Prince Harry.
However, the newlywed’s first official event will reportedly take place on June 9th as they will be the guests of honor at a charity event.

“The Hangover 2″ brings in $30 million on Friday night




For the moment, The Hangover 2 seems to be even stronger than I anticipated, whileKung Fu Panda 2 may not be breaking out as large as I hoped. Anyway, The Hangover 2 scored another $30 million on Friday night, showing almost no decline from its $31 million opening day. In fact, when you factor in the $10 million in midnight screenings that made up 1/3 of the opening day, the Friday performance is even more impressive. Point being, there is a chance that The Hangover 2 will have consistent business all weekend long, as opposed to a heavily-front-loaded opening day. The two models that may apply are Sex and the City 2 and Terminator: Salvation. Last year’s TV sequel grossed $51 million in five days, earning $26 of that in the first two. Obviously that film was frontloaded in its first two days, and there is a risk thatHangover 2 may suffer the same fate if it gets harder to do the whole ‘guy’s night out’ thing over the family-friendly holiday (which is a problem that Sex and the City 2 faced last year, with ‘girls’ night out’ being hard to arrange while taking care of the kids and setting up the family events). Under that model, The Hangover 2 will gross $115 million by Monday night, which is still a solid take. Under the Terminator: Salvation model, the film will play all weekend long at a consistent pace, giving The Hangover 2 a stunning $141 million over five days. Obviously, Saturday numbers will tell the tale.

Kung Fu Panda 2 pulled in $13.5 million on its first Friday. That’s 2.3x its Thursday number, showing that audiences were indeed waiting for the weekend. It still makes me question why Dreamworks wasted a Thursday opening day on this one, as a one-day opening of $19 million is far more impressive than a two-day opening of $19 million. Anyway, it would look like the picture is going to end up with a $75 million five-day total, which is impressive but frankly lower than I would have pegged it, considering the popularity of the original and the strong reviews for this entry. Still, that would still give the picture a 12x weekend multiplier.
The other big news was the expected, but still impressive showing for Terence Malick’s rollicking action comedy, The Tree of Life. The Brad Pitt adventure grossed $115,000 on in just four theaters (pretty much all of those theaters had it on three screens or more), setting the film up for a $500,000 four-day weekend and a massive $130,000 per-screen average. Oh, and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides grossed just $10.8 million on its second Friday, or a 69% drop from last Friday. Good. And Bridesmaids grossed $4.4 million, a mere 29% drop from last Friday even against The Hangover 2. Also good. As always, we’ll know more tomorrow, but it’s looking like a BIG Memorial Day weekend at the box office.

Who wins when it comes to Kardashian engagement rings




The Kardashians are wearing some major engagement rings these days, but one obviously comes out on top of the rest in the family.
While the Kardashian sister’s mom, Kris Jenner, has a major rock on her finger, it isn’t quite 20.5 carats, states People. And while Khloe Kardashian is rocking a 12.5-carat engagement ring, Kim Kardashian takes the cake.
Kourtney, the only one without an engagement ring, decided to crown a winner in the competition: “Kim wins! Kim’s is the largest!”

One Kardashian is unsure Kim’s wedding will actually happen




Maybe Kim’s sibling is just jealous, but one Kardashian is speaking out about being unsure of the wedding actually taking place.
Kim Kardashian is now engaged to Kris Humphries, but Rob Kardashian has his doubts, states PopEater. Rob told radio hosts Kidd Kraddick and Hyla that it just might not be in the cards for Kim.
“I just don’t feel confident because Kim has always been so like, you know, she’s, how old? She’s just been through a lot of relationships and she always gets hurt or never finds the right dude,” Rob said, but addedthat Kris is great and they seem to be a good match.
Do you think the wedding will happen?

Do you have any interest in living in Charlie Sheen’s old pads?
Do you have $7.2 million to spare?
The former “Two and a Half Men” star reportedly is listing his Sherman Oaks, Calif. Residence, according to The Real Estalker and Zillow.com.
Sheen has owned the place since 1997, when he purchased it for $2.5M. That’s a nice investment, if he gets what he’s asking.
Sheen’s Sherman Oaks mansion is “a custom-built Mediterranean estate with 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and nearly 8,000-sq ft of living space. Other features include a private screening room, and a professional outdoor kitchen with dining area, pool, and spa,” according to the site.
Just make sure you change the bedroom sheets.

“Hangover” sequel is darker, more bold, and better than the original – Sean’s review




I can’t believe this is happening again,” Ed Helms’ embattled bride-to-be Stu says after waking up alongside equally dazed Phil (Bradley Cooper) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) in “TheHangover Part II.”
Apparently Stu didn’t get a look at the original’s box office receipts. The minute Todd Phillips’ raucous, bleary-eyed “Hangover” made north of $460 million worldwide, a return trip for this intoxicated trio became as inevitable as the headache that follows an evening of binge drinking.
Phillips’ “The Hangover Part II” (*** out of 4) serves as the identical twin of its successful predecessor – sometimes mirroring the original shot for shot – save for one beneficial twist. A shift in the action from Las Vegas’ artificially glitzy but never really dangerous adult playground to the seedy, depraved and downright deadly streets of Bangkok, Thailand results in a darker and far more demented adventure for “the three best friends that anyone could ever have.” I suppose that makes this “The Hangover’s” evil twin. Yet every time Phillips pushed his undoubtedly formulaic sequel down yet another squalid alley for the sake of a shocking joke, I grew to appreciate, respect and even love “The Hangover Part II” more than the original (which I never embraced as wholeheartedly as the general public).
Once again, our familiar leads find themselves in an awkward (and contrived) situation where, after a wild night, they wake up in a strange location and must work backwards through the rubble to piece together their buffoonish actions. This time, the missing person Stu, Alan and Phil are racing to find is Teddy (Mason Lee), younger brother of Stu’s beautiful fiancée (Jamie Chung) who shares a drink with the guys the night before Stu’s wedding but is nowhere to be found the following morning.
Teddy actually begins creating problems for our trio long before they arrive in Thailand for Stu’s nuptials. He’s not a member of Alan’s self-enforced wolf pack, naturally, and Galifianakis — more unhinged and socially awkward in this installment — turns Alan’s possessive, jealous attitude toward Teddy into a fountain of inspiration for fresh laughs. It’s also Teddy’s severed finger that Phil finds on the floor of the Bangkok apartment where the trio wakes up, alerting the audience to the fact that the rules are somewhat different and slightly more treacherous this time around.

Most will criticize Phillips’ sequel for adhering to the structure established in the first film. I’d argue it’s the smartest choice he could make. Cooper admitted in a recent interview that the “Hangover” characters weren’t beefy enough to stand on their own outside of the formula, and I’d tend to agree. Yes, there’s also the old adage about something not needing to be fixed if it isn’t broken, and clearly the first “Hangover” worked well for a lot of people. But by establishing a foundation of familiarity (almost to the point of spoof), Phillips creates enough wiggle room to build commendably disturbing new scenarios involving Asian transvestites, silent monks, corrupt tattoo artists. drug-smuggling monkeys, and the music of Billy Joel.
“The Hangover Part II” doesn’t reinvent the wheel. But it does drive its dependable vehicle down unexpected avenues and arrives at some twisted destinations that will surprise – and entertain – an audience hoping for another crazy adventure with these memorable antiheroes. For one more film, at least, there was enough juice left in the premise. But take note: If a third “Hangover” happens (and there’s no reason to believe it won’t), the game will have to change drastically to avoid giving everyone involved on both sides of the screen a massive headache.

Battlestar Galactica' Star Edward James Olmos Joins 'Dexter'

Edward James OlmosBattlestar Galactica star Edward James Olmos  -- who, by the way, has a name that sounds exactly like someone who should be in Battlestar Galactica -- has officially signed on to join Dexter Season Six. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Emmy-and-Golden Globe-winning actor "will play a brilliant, charismatic professor of religious studies," presumably getting too close to Dexter in the process -- since that's the plot for pretty much any character who joins the show these days. Then again, this "religious studies" factor has me wondering: are they going to try to have Dexter become religious? Or question God? Or anything along those lines? Because I seriously can't think of a worse story arc. Well, except for Dexter's Season Five.

Haley Reinhart debuting single on Wednesday’s “Idol”?




Haley Reinhart looked shocked when Ryan Seacrest revealed that Lauren Alaina was moving on to this week’s “American Idol” finale … but she didn’t look as sad as some might have expected.
We think we know why.
Reinhart’s parents are telling folks that their daughter’s circling a record deal and “has already recorded a single and plans to debut it on the season 10 finale this Wednesday,” THR notes.
“She likes the song she’s doing, and we hope you like it too,” Haley’s mother told fans who recently gathered to support Relay For Life. As for Reinhart’s runner-up finish, the Reinharts are proudly stating, “No. 3 is pretty darn good,” primarily because “you don’t have to be so tied to [19 Recordings and Interscope Records] that way.”

6 Things You Didn't Know About Johnny Depp


Seeing Johnny Depp on red carpets and doing press for his new movie 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' is not a new thing. Many readers may not remember a time when Depp wasn't doing that. After all, he's been in the public eye for over 27 years. In 1984, he appeared in 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' and has worked consistently ever since. Not bad for a Kentucky boy who dropped out of high school to pursue rock star dreams with his band Six Gun Method.

While Depp is absolutely a household name, he never basked in celebrity the way some actors do; he would usually shrink away from the spotlight whenever possible. The average person may be able to name a dozen movies he's in but not tell you two things about his personal life. That's too bad, since he's quite an interesting fella –- as these six facts prove.

1. He has recorded two songs with Oasis.
As mentioned above, Depp's first love is music and still plays the guitar regularly. In 1997, he recorded with British rockers Oasis, playing lead slide guitar on the songs 'Fade In-Out' and 'Fade Away.' The first song ended up on their 'Be Here Now' album and the second became a B-side for their "Don't Go Away" single.

2. He makes his own wine.
Depp and his serious lady-friend, model Vanessa Paradis, live on a vineyard in Plan-de-la-Tour north of Saint-Tropez. Always a fan of vino, Depp began making his own as a hobby. In 2008, while shooting 'Public Enemies' in Illinois, he had ten crates of his wine shipped over for he and the crew to enjoy.

3. He is the godfather to Billy Ray Burton.
After doing over half-a-dozen movies with Tim Burton, it's obvious Depp and the director are pals. To honor his favorite lead actor, Burton and his baby-mama Helena Bonham Carter made Depp the first child's godfather.

4. He adopted a one-eyed horse.
Goldeneye is the horse that played Ichabod Crane's horse Gunpowder in 'Sleepy Hollow.' After bonding with Goldeneye, Depp jumped in to adopt him after he heard the one-eyed horse was going to be put down.

5. He regularly used the pseudonym Mr. Stench.
All celebrities check into hotels with fake names so the paparazzi and obsessed fans have a more difficult time finding them. Instead of coming up with a plausible sounding name, Depp used to go with "Mr. Stench." He said it was like having his own personal joke each morning when the front desk would ring with a wake-up call.

6. Hunter S. Thompson made him a Kentucky Colonel.
Since 1813, Kentucky colonel has been the highest title of honor one can receive from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Depp became close with Hunter S. Thompson when he played the infamous writer in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.' Since both of them were originally from Kentucky, Thompson (already honored) decided Depp must also be granted the title and made it happen.
