Rumor: Ashanti is Joining the Black Eyed Peas

Photo: The Black Eyed Peas at iHeartRadio, September 23, 2011 This summer, the Black Eyed Peas announced they were going on hiatus. "This isn't going to be the last time you'll see us," Fergie promised. And I guess that was true, technically…! MediaTakeOut has a hot, unconfirmed tip---take it or leave it---that Fergie is leaving the Black Eyed Peas. I know!!! But that isn't all, you guys. Rumor also has it, the Black Eyed Peas have a replacement already lined up: Grammy-award winning singer Ashanti. Obviously, if all this is true, it is such...

Watch This: Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux Milk a Goat

Photo: Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux milk a goat in 'Wanderlust' If I'm not mistaken---AND I SELDOM AM---Jennifer Aniston and boyfriend Justin Theroux first met on the set of Wanderlust. And when I see them together with the, uh, the goat (pictured), I can finally understand how those sparks first flew. I am pretty excited about Wanderlust. Maybe the trailer itself is a little lackluster, but the movie is directed by David Wain, through whose veins run pure absurdist gold. (Sorry, I can damn near recite Wet Hot American Summer from heart.) Plus, it stars Paul Rudd! Hmmmm. Now that I think of it, Jen and Paul also cos...

Lindsay Heads Back to Playboy

Photo: Lindsay Lohan in 2009 First of all, I love this story. Second of all, I love that ABC is covering it just as stoically as ABC can ("Lindsay Lohan to Pose for Playboy Before Prison"). Third, I love that ABC has attempted to catalogue this "news" under "Celebrity Law." Gossip is a slippery slope, ABC! You try to cover Lindsay Lohan's legal woes and, next thing you know, you're posting news articles about pornography. Sorry, ABC! That's just how the cookie crumbles. Radar reports that, in addition to getting slapped with ...

Billy Crudup Is Totally Dating Grace Gummer (Probably)

Photo: Costars Grace Gummer and Billy Crudup hangin' out in June I think I may need to explain some of the words in the headline. Billy Crudup is one of our finest living actors, although I have questioned the ethics of all of his romantic decisions ever since that whole Mary-Louise Parker thing (I MEAN, REALLY). And because it is admittedly difficult to separate an artist from his personal business, Crudup came thisclose to ruining Patrick Wilson in The Watchmen for me. Grace Gummer is Meryl Streep's daughter. The pair costarred in the revival of To...

Quotables: “Leo Got a Little Fat”

Photo: Leonardo DiCaprio looked slim and dapper back in August Some of those pounds on 'later Hoover' were not prosthetic. I'll say it. Leo got a little fat. ---Dustin Lance Black, screenwriter of Milk and J. Edgar, on Leonardo DiCaprio's "method acting," but also, his newfound affinity for German chocolate cupcakes....

D’aaaawww! It’s Justin Bieber’s First Paternity Scandal!

Photo: Look! It's Tristyn Yeater, Justin Bieber's alleged love child! Our little baby is growing up! Star Magazine has the shocking "first photo" of Justin Bieber's infant love child---wait, what? I know, right? And yeah, no, I sincerely doubt that the Biebz fathered a child backstage after a concert. But anyway, Star reportedly has the "first photo" of Bieber's progeny. Over at Radar, Star put Star's logo right atop the baby's face, just to mess with us, but I found a scan of tomorrow's issue of Star elsewhere. (Nice try, Star.) So get this. Twenty-year-old f...

Watch This: Kim Kardashian on the RidicuList

Has Kim Kardashian ever made it onto Anderson Cooper's RidicuList before? Because it seems like she ought to be a repeat offender. I get that Anderson Cooper is exhausted by the Kardashian family---I do---but every once in awhile, Cooper totally zings Wolf Blitzer, and I'm just like, Anderson! For real! You're out of control!...

Quotables: Kal Penn on Choosing the Name “Kal Penn”

Photo: John Cho with Kal Penn at Spike TV's SCREAM Awards October 15 We read something, I think it was a Screen Actors Guild thing, that said that 40 percent of actors have screen names, and ... [my friends] were just berating me with things like, "What about 'Kal Pacino'?" And I was rejecting all of their awful suggestions, and thought, Everyone calls me Kal anyway. My first name is Kalpen, so it’s sort of how Joseph becomes Joe, that kind of thing. And it did increase auditions. To this day, I've never been completely sure whether it was [because it was] less e...

Watch This: the Scariest Child Star

Photo: Chloe Moretz as 'Scary Girl' Enid Krysinski It's sad, you guys, but I had to give up my ghost-movie-watching hobby. It's like, if you lie awake at night picturing some Kayako tiptoeing out of your chifferobe, or you panic slightly when you hear a CD skip, you have to finally say 'when.' But what if every yurei were really only an ordinary, angsty teenager, just trying to make a name for herself in Hollywood? Here's Funny or Die with its Halloween-themed special, "Scary Girl." Enid Krysinski just wants to go to the mall! And h...

Holy God: Kim Kardashian Is Getting Divorced

Photo: Kris Humphries with Kim Kardashian on October 21, 2011 in New York City. There were rumors of trouble in paradise, but I, for one, am shocked. Shocked! Sadly, Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce from brand new husband (!) Kris Humphries, TMZ reports. And unfortunately, TMZ is never wrong. The couple was married on August 20, making theirs one of the shortest, crappiest marriages this side of E! TMZ: We're told even though the marriage was short, she will not seek an annulment. It's a garden variety divorce, in which Kim cites "irreconcilable differences...

Watch This: Courtney Stodden, Pageant Queen

Nope, we still aren't done with Courtney Stodden, and whatever she and her mother are up to is totally working, it devastates me to admit. Here's the precocious Mrs. Hutchison as a 15-year old, competing in the Miss Washington Teen USA Pageant. You can see how, even in the distant, uh, back in 2010, little Court is already demonstrating her unique and special brand of gammin' and struttin'. Looking good, kid! /> Nope, we still aren't done with Courtney Stodden, and whatever she and her mother are up to is totally working, it devastates me to admit.

Since When Is Lisa Ling an Actor?!

Photo: Lisa Ling was doing, I don't know, something for Oprah, on October 17 OK, here is what I already know about Lisa Ling without actually peeking: - Lisa Ling was a reporter for Channel One News, which aired in public schools like mine. (Channel One also helped to launch the journalism career of one not-yet-silvery Anderson Cooper, as I recall. Also: a lot of the employees at Current TV got their start at Channel One.) - Lisa Ling's little sister, a Current TV journalist, was imprisoned in North Korea. - Lisa Ling was on The View really early on---you know...
