| 5 Facts About Jennifer Lopez’s New Dude, Casper Smart Posted: 16 Nov 2011 11:46 AM PST It looks like the newly single Jennifer Lopez might already be moving on with one of her backup dancers. The apparent object of her affections is 24-year-old Casper Smart, who’s been dancing with J-Lo for a while now. So who is this fella? Here are five things to know about Casper: 1. Casper has worked as a backup dancer for folks like Michael Jackson, Beyonce and Nicki Minaj. He also claims to be a choreographer. 2. Casper’s an actor as well. He has a role in the upcoming Honey 2, and has appeared in Step Up 3D, Dance Flick and on Glee and How I Met Your Mother. 3. Casper can do all kinds of back flips and crazy human tricks, as evidenced by his reel. 4. He is from Anaheim, California, just like Disneyland. 5. Casper had food poisoning last night.

| Posted: 16 Nov 2011 11:35 AM PST Perhaps in celebration of his newfound freedom from paternity issues, some clever soul out there made a meaty monument to Justin Bieber. As you can see, this is a sculpture of the Canadian pop star’s face made entirely out of what looks to be un-cooked hamburger meat, bacon, garlic and olives(?). It’s a surprisingly good likeness for a meat sculpture, although I can’t help thinking like this particular Justin Bieber might have been dropped on his head a few too many times during rehearsal. And why is there a hard hat and a paper cut-out of Bieber’s bust? Do I even want to know? In related news, the ever offensive DListed just ran a caption contest for this picture, and these were the winners:
Oh dear. (Via Best Week Ever) Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Jonathan Groff Has The Luxury Of Not Caring About His Nude Photos Getting Leaked Posted: 16 Nov 2011 10:57 AM PST
Jonathan’s got two things going for him here. One is that his nudity came from a more respectable outlet—that is, the indie movie Twelve Thirty instead of snapped in a hotel room or home bathroom. According to Jeff Lipsky, the movie is a modern-day homage to The Graduate that features one guy becoming romantically and sexually involved with two women and their mother. Jonathan’s two nude scenes (as rumored) seem too few for a movie like this. But regardless, it’s an indie that decided to really pack a punch. He did it for his art, you got that?  Obviously Jonathan’s nonchalance has spread to everyone else, since the photos got leaked a year after he shot the thing. In the case of starlets getting their nude photos leaked, it was usually just a few months from when they were snapped (which helps us in guessing who they were intended for). And therein lies the (other) rub: Jonathan is not a nubile female starlet. I have to believe that there’s a double standard at play here, that we shame female celebrities for stupidly indulging in naked photos, but applaud a young actor like Jonathan for the “daring” risk of going full-frontal on-camera. It’s who’s behind the camera that directs whether the ensuing photos are shameful or beautiful. You know the only other celeb in recent memory who doesn’t give a shit about nude photos getting leaked? Anthony Bourdain. It’s a man’s world. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| 10 Shirtless Photos Of Bradley Cooper, People’s Sexiest Man Alive Posted: 16 Nov 2011 10:36 AM PST Blue-eyed, tan-abbed Bradley Cooper has been named People Magazine’s latest Sexiest Man Alive. (Trivia: the inaugural SMA was Mel Gibson - ha.) It’s a controversial movie, mostly because Bradley isn’t Ryan Gosling. He does have some assets working for him, though — here are ten examples.

The official Hunger Games fan wiki outlines to what outrageous lengths Capitol residents will go for what they believe is beauty:
Because we cover celebrity news and lifestyle, we’ve unfortunately had plenty of opportunities to observe plastic surgery turning stars from prettier versions of themselves into warped, alien-like creatures. Just take Tara Reid, who’s become an object of ridicule for her puckered stomach, or the much more tragic case of Ali Lohan altering the structure of her face and still receiving an overwhelmingly negative response. Just like in The Hunger Games, in Hollywood there’s a disconnect between what sounds beautiful and what’s actually beautiful. We’re expecting Elizabeth as Effie to go through a number of costume changes, including her wigs. The hairpiece, she says, was what cemented the character for her. “Every day I would have that aha moment,” she told People, “like, ‘We did it! We found Effie!’” Elizabeth did acknowledge that Capitol fashion requires for her to wear some killer heels: “For sure the biggest challenge of playing Effie was the shoes! All of my shoes in the movie are completely amazing but highly uncomfortable. I said to [director Gary Ross], ‘You better be shooting these shoes, because they’re killing me.’” Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Oz Munchkin Karl Slover Dies At Age 93 Posted: 16 Nov 2011 09:42 AM PST
Slover died yesterday of cardiopulmonary arrest in an Altanta area hospital at the age of 93. Reading through his various obituaries, I’m struck by how well he was able to turn a difficult childhood into a happy and fruitful adulthood. Via USA Today:
Did you know you could sell your child back then? The early 1900s were a tough time to be a misunderstood little person. But all was not lost! Karl found that he liked performing, and eventually moved to the United States, changed his name, and joined a vaudeville circus group called the Singer Midgets. This is the group that landed him the Oz gig, where he was one of the tiniest actors to appear. Despite being paid just $50/week for his work on the movie (he joked that Toto made more than him), the 4’5″ performer had fond memories of the filming and continued to make public appearances around the country straight up until his death. In addition to The Wizard Of Oz, he appeared in several other films in the 30s and 40s, as well as various TV shows and documentaries as recently as 2009. “He has a genuine immortality,” said Fricke. “Of the 124 little people, he’s one of the handful who got to enjoy this latter-day fame, to have people know who he was and be able to pick him out of the crowd in the movie.” (Via USA Today) Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Questionable Choices: Shia LaBeouf’s Got A New Look Posted: 16 Nov 2011 09:13 AM PST If we’re being honest here, I have to say that I actually really like this new architecture nerd look that Shia LaBeouf has debuted. It’s definitely better than those ubiquitous skinny jeans, ripped shoes and filthy hoodies that scream, “My home is the Greyhound station!” Let’s not get too excited, though, because Shia’s new found sense of style might be the work of a costume designer. This shot was taken on the set of The Company You Keep, Shia’s new film that has him playing an intrepid young reporter hell bent on tracking down a former Weather Underground militant. Hmm… does this character at least have a coffee table book about architecture? Shia will appear on screens next in The Wettest Country, a Prohibition-era film that will be released next April. He’ll star as Tom Hardy’s brother and will get to shoot guns. Post from: Crushable  |
| Skip The New Rebecca Black Video ‘Person Of Interest’ And Watch This Victorious One Instead Posted: 16 Nov 2011 09:04 AM PST Did anyone know that Rebecca Black even had a new video out? Nope? OK, good. It says a lot that her third single lacks the explosive nature of “Friday” or the wild anticipation of “My Moment.” While “Person of Interest” is her second-best offering, it still falls way short of the utter ridiculousness we associate with her. I fear that we will never reclaim the magic of “Friday.” Sorry Rebecca, but despite a clever play on words in the title, the video is just plain boring. I don’t even know why there are cops. Plus, she just seems less enthusiastic; sure, she’s at a glittering carnival, but she seems less excited than when she had to go meet her friends at the bus stop. Instead, I recommend you check out Victoria Justice‘s video for “Beggin’ On Your Knees,” released this past spring. I first got to watch it when I interviewed the Victorious cast; even with no knowledge of the show, I was compelled to write about what a fun music video it was. Part of the reason is that it has actual conflict: Like in “Person of Interest,” Tori hangs out with a cute guy at the carnival. But then she discovers that he’s got another girl on the side, so she conspires to reveal him to be a jerk. Sure, it’s kind of a juvenile plotline, but it’s more interesting than Rebecca’s convoluted story—she met a Justin Bieber lookalike, he won her a teddy bear, and then…? I still can’t figure out if a crime were actually committed. Also, Rebecca’s out-of-sync dancing doesn’t match up to Tori’s moves on the skeeball machine. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| 26-Year-Old Cancer Patient Asks Joseph Gordon-Levitt Out On A Date Posted: 16 Nov 2011 09:02 AM PST Polarizing cutie pie Joseph Gordon-Levitt has won many accolades from critics for his portrayal of a cancer patient in the film 50/50, but how do people who’ve actually battled cancer feel about it? Well, one young LA woman living with cancer who writes about her experiences in a blog cleverly titled I Am A Liver was so impressed she wants to go on a date with him. In a Youtube video posted earlier this week, blogger/grad student Lindsey Miller talked a little bit ab0ut the difficulties of dating while being treated for cancer before making her proposal. “Maybe you could call it my Make-A-Wish, but let’s not be over-dramatic,” she says. “Just a cup of coffee with you would make me really happy.” As we all know by now, a sympathetic (and public) video proposal is pretty much the best way to get a celebrity to go on a date with you these days. And it certainly doesn’t hurt that she’s cute and articulate. Maybe Ms. Miller will even succeed in snaring him away from rumored gal pal Scarlett Johansson.

| Posted: 16 Nov 2011 08:37 AM PST 65-year-old Dolly Parton has got a new record out, a world tour under her feet, and that same wonderfully over-the-top sense of style. Would I ever dress like Dolly Parton? Not in this life, but in a dream world, I see myself teasing out my hair and putting on a tight-fitting bedazzled blazer. Fantasies: they come in all shapes and sizes. Post from: Crushable  |
Jonathan Groff‘s reaction to nude photos getting leaked is drastically different than the female celebrities who’ve been in the same situation: When asked about it by New York Magazine last week, the Glee and Broadway star 
With 
Karl Slover, one of the last surviving actors who played one of the munchkins in the 1939 classic The Wizard Of Oz, has followed the yellow brick road to that great Emerald Castle in the sky.
