First Look At Johnny Depp And Armie Hammer In The Lone Ranger!!!

Posted: 08 Mar 2012 12:30 PM PST

Whoa, Tonto! We can't believe what we are seeing!

It has taken a very, very, VERY long time to get here, but it seems production is FINALLY underway for Disney's The Lone Ranger flick. No one is more excited about the news than producer Jerry Bruckheimer, which is probably why he couldn't resist tweeting out this fabulous sneak peek pic of the the daring duo known as Tonto and the masked man!

Yes, that is Johnny Depp in full Tonto garb, standing next to the Lone Ranger himself, played by Armie Hammer.

Looks like the budget wasn't cut from the costume/makeup department! These two look AWESOME!!!

We always had a hard time picture Johnny Depp in this role in our heads, but seeing it now, we can't understand why we didn't see it before! Simply incredible!

Too bad we have to wait over a year to see the movie! Whomp, whomp!

Whitney Houston's Will Approved By Judge & New Details Reveal Bobby Brown IS In The Will

Posted: 08 Mar 2012 12:10 PM PST

But not in the way he wants to be.

As of today, a judge has validated Whitney Houston's will, and her daughter Bobbi Kristina will inherit all of her mother's money, jewelry and worldly possessions.

As we reported yesterday, as her mother's sole beneficiary, Bobbi Kristina will literally want for NOTHING for the rest of her life, and the money she inherits will be divvied up throughout the next 12 years, so there's less of a chance of Whitney's only child squandering her mother's lifelong earnings. But new details were revealed today explaining that the will was actually amended in 2000 to include a clause over the unlikely, but not inconceivable chance that Bobbi Kristina dies before the probate is completed.

If that happens, Whitney's ex-husband, Bobby Brown and various other relatives would split up all of her assets. The catch is that Whitney left no instructions on how the assets would be handled; the inheritors have to duke it out amongst themselves. However, in the event that Bobbi Kristina dies, all of Whitney's jewelry would go to her mother, Cissy. That no one can lay a finger on.

Now, here is the final twist:

Let's say the group of beneficiaries, which besides Bobby includes Cissy, Whitney's dad John (who also has passed) and her brothers Michael and Gary, can't reach an agreement over the loot, the will says all of Whitney's stuff would be sold and they would just divide the cash.

Why do we feel like either way, Cissy is going to fight till the bitter end to keep any of her daughter money out of Bobby's hands? This could get ugly really fast. All the more reason to keep Bobbi Kristina healthy, happy and out of harms way. She has so much life to live and her mother has made sure that she has a life others could only dream of.

Holy Hunger Games! New Images Reveal Katniss & Peeta In The Arena … And The Cornucopia!

Posted: 08 Mar 2012 11:40 AM PST

The odds are in our favor today! 15 days till the release and we just got the best sneak peek we could ask for!

Alright, yes, there are other things we want to see more (i.e. the girl LITERALLY on fire), but this is definitely satiating us.

Some uber fan got their hands on some of the trading cards from The Hunger Games and from the deck came three new images never-before-seen: Katniss tending to Peeta's wounds in the arena, Haymitch looking sober … and the Cornucopia!

We won't spoil it for anyone who doesn't want to see just yet, but let's just say … it's not what we thought it would look like!

If we've piqued your interest (and don't act like we haven't) CLICK THE JUMP and check out the three new images from The Hunger Games for yourself.

We don't think you will be sorry!



Jon Hamm Does Don Draper In Dapper Entertainment Weekly Cover. YUM.

Posted: 08 Mar 2012 11:10 AM PST

He's got the cool confidence, he's got the dark past, and he's got the ladies ready to tear off their stockings for a taste of the Draper!

Jon Hamm is looking straight up BOSS as Dick Whitman Don Draper on the most recent cover of Entertainment Weekly.

The versatile actor discusses his feelings about working on the hit period drama:

"I love going to work, so in that sense I could play Don for 100 years. But I realize we're not on a treadmill, we're on a thing that moves forward … and so I think these things should end, and they should end the way the guy that started it wants to end."

The magazine also nabs Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner, who shares some insights on Don Draper and what will be concerning the advertising exec in the upcoming season:

"A lot of the decisions that Don makes may seem strange to the audience, but they're going to seem strange to the people around him, too....He is coming into middle age, which was closer to old age back then. Existentialism is a young man's game, and you can say what you want about how death nullifies things. But when you get closer to death, it starts to become more serious, and it's harder to laugh it off and say, 'I'm living for the moment.' "

Oh we can't wait to stir up some dirty martinis, light up an imaginary cigarette (obviously, we DO NOT condone smoking) and time-warp to our old pals on Madison avenue on March 25.

Will U tune in to Mad Men season 5??

Kelly Clarkson To Join In On Duets!

Posted: 08 Mar 2012 10:50 AM PST

Kelly Clarkson's sure got a LOT to be excited about lately! Love, a successful music career and now, she's getting the chance to return to where she got her start!

The singing sensation will be starring in a NEW reality competition, Duets, on ABC this summer. And no, there will be NO judges' panel here -- Kelly, along with Robin Thicke, Lionel Richie and Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles, will each personally scour the country to find two singers to duet with!

Then, every week, the celebs will perform in front of a live studio audience with their hand-picked partner.

One winner will be chosen for a recording contract with Hollywood Records! That's no 5 million-dollar recording contract, but we guess it's better than nothing!

Is this a new spin on a singing competition or just more of the same?

Will U tune in?

Thoughts???

Woman Throws Up On The View While Nathan Lane Is Talking

Posted: 08 Mar 2012 10:40 AM PST

Nathan Lane stopped by The View and we guess one audience member couldn't handle it!

As he was talking, Nathan turned and noticed a woman in the audience heaving her guts out.

And the camera turned to watch! Grodie!!!!

Luckily, the ladies and Nathan played it off, joking that Nathan caused random bouts of sickness.

Check out the video above to see the poor woman's trouble.

We hope she's okay!

Adam Lambert Is Worth AT LEAST $500,000 - Don’t Insult Him With A Measly $80,000!

Posted: 08 Mar 2012 10:30 AM PST

Woe to the countries who have been denied Adam Lambert's sparkle.

It seems that Russia and the Ukraine will not be seeing the Lamb and his lambettes any time soon, as someone at the UK-based Madison Universal royally effed up!

The company claims they booked Lambert to play 2 shows in Eastern Europe through Santa Monica talent agency Family Productions. They layed down 10% of the $80,000 it would supposedly cost and then were stuck waiting with their thumbs up - well, another part of their collective body.

After realizing the shows were never going to happen, reps at Madison Universal called Lambert's agent Randy Salcedo at CAA who informed them that not only would Adam have never agreed to book a show for the paltry amount of 80 thou, it would cost AT LEAST $500,000 to fly him over the Atlantic and perform for our Russian and Ukranian friends.

Madison is now suing Family Productions for $25,000.

We wonder...did anyone at Madison Universal ever check if Family Productions was a legit company, of if they even had the authority to pimp out Lambert?? Because..um..that should be the FIRST question you ask. Right???
