Apparently I wasn't the only one to raise an eyebrow at Rihanna's Abu Dhabi mosque photo shoot! While RiRi herself saw no problem posing for umpteen pictures wearing the hijab that's mandatory for female visitors, others did and she was apparently asked to leave right after. Turns out she wasn't even in a public area of the mosque - she was in a place that's prohibited to visitors. Disrespect all around!

Benedict Cumberbatch probably thought he'd scooped the role of a lifetime when he decided to play WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in The Fifth Estate. In theory, it could have been an incredibly interesting and dramatic film, but in actuality, it turned into a massive box office flop, making only $1.7 million on its opening weekend. That makes it one of the worst openings of 2013, with an average of $969 per-screen. Ha!

Lucky Katy Perry - she's got admirers all over the place! First Daniel Radcliffe and now Niall Horan from One Direction? John Mayer better watch out, she could get snatched up at any second!
Niall tweeted Katy on Sunday night to say the following after she mentioned him during her performance on UK's X Factor:
I love you @katyperry ! Thank you! Ps . Will u marry me?— Niall Horan (@NiallOfficial) October 21, 2013

Kanye West is off his fucking rocker and continues to prove that on a daily basis. His most recent foray into the bowels of insanity is that he's now performing on stage with the ACTUAL Jesus (well, a man in a costume as Jesus) on his US tour and this is apparently a thing that's totally normal to him. Like, what? He started his tour on Saturday night in Seattle, where the above happened.
Apparently Kanye sang from the top of a large mountain and Jesus looked on from below. So, he's higher than Jesus now? I'm an atheist and even I'm offended by that. What the hell is wrong with this guy? Perh...
It seems like little Blue Ivy is growing up before our eyes, and I suppose that only makes sense since that's what children do - grow and all. While Bey seemed initially hesitant to share photos of her little one, that's certainly changed and we know that Blue looks EXACTLY like her father. No doubts of paternity there! Sure, they might try to cleverly make her hide behind objects so that her whole face isn't shown, but that's just Beyoncé's super ~artsy~, Tumblr-friendly photography at play.

Morrissey released his memoir, Autobiography, last week and in it, he revealed that he doesn't consider himself to be homosexual, no matter how many reports to the contrary have appeared in the press over the years. Sure, he's had relationships with men, but that doesn't make him gay!
From DS:
The book includes sections in which Morrissey describes his relationship with Jake Owen Walters without ever explicitly acknowledging an actual romance.
In one passage he recounts a conversation at an airport...
If you sit back and think about the fact that Kendall and Kylie Jenner are part of the Kardashian clan, then the answer becomes pretty obvious: OF COURSE they've been partying. Last week, they went to Vignette Lounge in downtown Los Angeles, a 21-and-over sex club that they got into by presenting fake IDs and going with Scott Disick, which is a little creepy. Scott taking the equivalent of his teenage sister-in-laws to a sex club is the creepy part, that is.
There's no doubt that these two ...
This is a bit weird, I'll admit: James Franco has already signed up to star in Of Mice and Men on Broadway, and now apparently Chris O'Dowd is going to star right along side him. What strange casting for what's already a really strange story. James will be playing George Milton, which means Chris will most likely be playing Lennie, who is mentally handicapped with way too much strength and a penchant for soft things (which makes him squeeze a mouse to death by petting it too much).

If you've been watching Once Upon a Time, you'll know that this season has seen the introduction of Peter Pan and his evil shadow. That's where Marilyn Manson comes in - he'll be playing the voice of Pan's shadow later this season. Don't you feel like you're living in a nightmare?
From The Hollywood Reporter:
In the eighth episode, expected to air mid-November, Manson will make his Once Upon a Time debut voicing the character of The Shadow, who has already been seen this season. (The Shad...
Rihanna is still in the midst of her Diamonds world tour, and her latest jaunt has taken her to Abu Dhabi. In case you don't know much about Abu Dhabi, it's the capital and second largest city in the United Arab Emirates and has a very largely Muslim population (and a lot of non-Muslim expats). Rihanna, completely oblivious to the concept of cultural appropriation (see: here), decided it'd be a great idea to take off her thong and nipple covers and put on a hijab to have a fashion shoot at the S...
