Why T Bone Burnett Left 'Nashville'

ABC







T Bone Burnett, Hollywood's prolific producer for soundtracks (like the Grammy-winning "O Brother, Where Art Thou?") and musicians (Elton John, Lisa Marie Presley among many others), gave a candid interview to The Hollywood Reporter about his career and his tumultuous time serving as the music producer for "Nashville."


The ABC series created and executive produced by Burnett's wife, Callie Khouri, needed someone who had serious knowledge of country music and the music business in general, so it was only natural for her to call on her husband for producing duties while getting the show off the ground.


For the second season of "Nashville" Burnett stepped down from his music producer role, leading some to believe there was trouble for the married couple behind the song-filled series, but Burnett said it was actually the network's different visions for the show that led to him leaving.


"Some people were making a drama about real musicians' lives, and some were making a soap opera, so there was that confusion," Burnett told The Hollywood Reporter. "It was a knockdown, bloody, drag-out fight, every episode. You remember that show 'The Prisoner?' If I were to tell you the truth, you'd think I was insane. "


This isn't the only behind-the-scenes drama for "Nashville." There have been rumors of star Connie Britton being unhappy with the direction of the show, and even some of the crew based in Nashville being let go without the studio notifying them beforehand.


Buddy Miller, who was a music producer on the series' first season along with Burnett, has since stepped in as the music supervisor for Season 2. Burnett is currently producing music for the upcoming Coen brothers movie, "Inside Llewyn Davis."

"Nashville" airs Wed. at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.

'Star Wars: Episode VII' Drama Now Focused On Release Date?

star wars episode vii release date






One year and one day after Disney and Lucasfilm announced plans for another edition of "Star Wars" to arrive in theaters in 2015, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that there's some internal strife over the film's planned release date.


Per THR, Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy reportedly requested that "Episode VII" move into 2016 because of some pre-production issues, like the fact that screenwriter Michael Arndt left the project earlier this month. Director J.J. Abrams and "Empire Strikes Back" co-screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan are now collaborating on the "Star Wars" script, which Badass Digest's Devin Faraci reported would start from square one.


Kennedy's ask, however, was denied by Disney CEO Bob Iger, who supposedly has an ally in Abrams; according to the trade report, Abrams is fully committed to hitting the 2015 release date. Or maybe he's not? Here's Faraci on Twitter:





It's expected that "Episode VII" will debut in the summer of 2015 (though there was some speculation that "Star Wars" would become a December release).


Beyond the THR piece, there's apparently even more "Star Wars" drama happening behind the scenes that's not being reported. Here's Umberto “El Mayimbe” Gonzalez, a reporter for the website Latino Review:

Naomi Watts On Becoming Princess Diana: 'Everyone Feels They Know Her'

naomi watts diana






NEW YORK -- NEW YORK (AP) — When Naomi Watts was a struggling actress, she never would have imagined that one day she would play Princess Diana, one of the most famous women in the world, even after her death.


In fact, the thought makes her laugh.


"Yeah, that would sound a bit silly wouldn't it," said the actress at the New York premiere of the biopic "Diana" on Wednesday night.


Watts plays the Princess of Wales during roughly the last two years of her life. The story is based on the 2001 book "Diana: Her Last Love," chronicling her relationships with heart surgeon Hasnat Khan and Dodi Fayed.


Cas Anvar, who plays Fayed, would often marvel on set about the way Watts embodied the essence of Princess Diana. In fact, he says she even stayed in character between takes.


"It was quite surreal sometimes, but it was thrilling to be around, working with someone like that," Anvar said. "She kept in character all the time, so I never actually got to experience the Naomi side of things," he recalled. "I was more or less always interacting with Lady Di."


Watts says she tried to stay in character not because she's "as disciplined as Daniel Day-Lewis," but because the accent was so difficult to master.


Despite all her effort, few have been impressed with the film, which opens Friday. Reviews have been mostly negative thus far.


Naveen Andrews, who plays Dr. Khan, believes a big part of that is because Diana really was, as her nickname implies, the people's princess.



"Obviously in England, I think people feel a sense of ownership over her," he said. "They did when she was alive. Now they do that she's passed. It's a testament to her power that she can generate so much emotion and feeling."


Watts agrees: "Everyone feels they know her and they thought they had an opinion about who she was and their version of the story must be true and the comparisons that will be made inevitably."


Anvar says he thinks the strong opinions over the film are a good thing.


"Personally I would rather be part of a project that inspires massive debate and controversy than a project that just fades away with a whimper, he said. "Any kind of uproar or upheaval usually is a good thing and indicative of a good story."

Pauly D's baby's mother tweets invite for him to meet his child

DJ Pauly D is in a social media battle with the alleged mother of his daughter, Amanda Markert.

Isaac Brekken/Getty Images for Clear Channel



DJ Pauly D was invited via Twiter to "come bond" with his daughter by her mother.




Pauly D is a dad who has yet to meet his 5-month-old daughter, Amabella Sophia.


Although he claims the baby's mother, Amanda Markert, won't allow him unsupervised visitation rights, she is saying something different.


"This is getting out of hand, you've had my number since day 1," she tweeted Wednesday. "Come bond with her any day, any time you and your family want. @DJPaulyD"


The 25-year-old former Hooters waitress said Twitter is her only form of communication with the famous DJ, whose real name is Paul DelVecchio, which is why she's utilized the social media site to make the invitation.


RELATED: PAULY D ASKED MOTHER OF HIS CHILD TO GET ABORTION


"Since we last spoke I don't have any way to get in touch with you directly," she continued, "and I think we can solve this by talking ASAP."


But the former "Jersey Shore" star said her willingness to allow him to see his daughter isn't so cut and dry.


In fact, Pauly D's lawyer reportedly sent a letter to Markert's attorney asking for baby Amabella to visit with her papa for two weeks, reports TMZ.


"Paul and his entire family are eager to meet and spend time with Paul's daughter," his rep told the gossip site.

"Paul has been requesting visitation for quite some time now, but his requests have either gone unresponded to or denied," he added. "He and his family are committed to being a significant part of his daughter's life and are excited to make that a reality."


The reality of this entire situation came about because of DelVecchio's one-night stand with Markert, who recently claimed she had proof of him urging her to abort the baby through text messages, which she was reportedly trying to sell.


"Sometimes in life things aren't planned and they may even scare you at first," he said in a release to The News. "But they end up being a blessing. That is how I feel about having a daughter. I am looking forward to being a parent to her."


Markert's cash cow antics paired with her former employment at Hooters and the fact that she has an older child from another father are supposedly what caused Pauly D to fight for custody, claiming she's an unfit mother.


"It could all be so simple," she tweeted. "Call now."



Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore divorce settled two years after split

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have reached a settlement on their divorce, two years after the couple formally separated in November of 2011.


The glacial divorce proceedings have apparently come to an end Thursday after nearly a year of disputes.


RELATED: DEMI MOORE, ASHTON KUTCHER TOGETHER AT BURBANK AIRPORT


The "Ghost" actress, 50, will not receive any spousal support, according to TMZ sources.


It was reported that Moore initially wanted money from her ex-husband on the grounds of alleged infidelity, but according to TMZ, California laws offer a “no fault” argument against her claims.


RELATED: DEMI MOORE, ASHTON KUTCHER DIVORCE STALLED OVER MONEY


Moore filed for divorce in March, three months after Kutcher and over a year after their actual split. They were married from 2005 to 2011.


The "Two and a Half Men" star, 35, became the highest-paid actor on television during his time on the show, and though Moore is worth an estimated $150 million, she was reportedly gunning for a big payout from her ex to cover the cost of her lawyers and even apartment renovations.


RELATED: DEMI MOORE WANTS SPOUSAL SUPPORT FROM ASHTON KUTCHER


In the settlement, Kutcher was "a little more generous than he had to be," according to the gossip site's sources, when it came to splitting their property, but they were able to share items acquired during the six-year marriage.


The former couple were involved in several business ventures together. In September, Kutcher and Moore were seen walking and talking together at Burbank Airport after attending a tech conference in San Jose as the terms of their divorce were still being hashed out. They ignored questions from paparazzi about Moore's spousal support demands.


Both parties are apparently "satisfied" with their settlement, TMZ reports.


The Daily News' request for comment from Moore and Kutcher's lawyers has not yet been returned.

Yoko Ono Is 'Thankful' That She And Paul McCartney Have Reconciled

yoko ono paul mccartney






NEW YORK -- NEW YORK (AP) — Yoko Ono says she's thankful Paul McCartney appears to have gotten over his grudge against her.


McCartney, in a recent Rolling Stone interview, said he's getting along fine with the widow of John Lennon, his old songwriting partner. The bad feelings had gone back decades, to when the Beatles were falling apart and other group members resented the appearance of Lennon's new girlfriend in the recording studio.


McCartney said that time was a great healer and thought that "if John loved her, there's got to be something. He's not stupid." He said once he decided to let go of his grudge that they've been getting along fine.


Ono, in an interview with The Associated Press, said Wednesday it was good to hear those words from McCartney and "I'm very thankful."


"I never felt too bad about Paul," she said. "He was my husband's partner and they did a great job and all that. They seemed to have a lot of fun, and I respected that."


Some of the bad feelings had persisted in the post-Beatles years, as Ono was a regular partner in business affairs surrounding the group after Lennon's death in 1980 — perhaps most notably when McCartney expressed a desire to change songwriting credits to "McCartney-Lennon" instead of "Lennon-McCartney" for some of the songs most associated with him.


McCartney told Rolling Stone he admires Ono's work. She's still making and releasing new music at age 80, like McCartney is at age 71.


Said McCartney: "She's badass."


"Well, he's a rocker," Ono said.

  • Hilary Duff vs. Lindsay Lohan


    Take two Disney starlets and one prepubescent popstar and you have a recipe for one of the most discussed celebrity feuds of the 2000s.

    Back in 2002, Aaron Carter reportedly broke up with or cheated on Hilary Duff, who he was dating for two years, to hook up with Lindsay Lohan. The 15-year-old Casanova then left Lohan to get back together with Duff.

    Though the girls should have been furious with Carter, they instead turned on each other. Their feud played out in the pages of magazines with both actresses <a href="http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/8669450/ns/today-entertainment/t/lohan-says-duff-rebuffed-her-peace-attempt/" target="_hplink">taking shots at each other for years. </a>

    By 2007 the girls put their past behind them and made up.

    "We are both adults and whatever happened, happened when we were young," Duff <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20033534,00.html" target="_hplink">told <em>People</em></a>. "It's over."




  • Jon Hamm vs. Kim Kardashian


    "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm recently made some unflattering <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/09/jon-hamm-slams-kim-kardashian-idiot-culture_n_1335411.html" target="_hplink">comments to <em>Elle UK</em> </a>about celebrity culture, putting reality TV queen Kim Kardashian in his crosshairs. "Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f**king idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly," he told the magazine. Kim responded on Twitter, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/12/kim-kardashian-responds-jon-hamm-stupid_n_1339923.html?ref=the-kardashians" target="_hplink">writing</a>: "I just heard about the comment Jon Hamm made about me in an interview. I respect Jon and I am a firm believer that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that not everyone takes the same path in life. We're all working hard and we all have to respect one another. Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs, and creates, 'stupid,' is in my opinion careless." When asked about his comments, <a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/jon_hamm_kim_kardashian_slam_not/301003#ixzz1p6Yz2tbE" target="_hplink">Hamm told E! News</a>, "It's surprising to me that this has become remotely a story. I don't know Ms. Kardashian. I know her public persona. What I said was meant to be more on pervasiveness of something in culture, not personal, but she took offense to it and that is her right."




  • Courtney Love vs. Dave Grohl


    It's a known fact that Courtney Love hates former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, and he is by no means fond of her.

    The two have been feuding over the rights to Nirvana's music since Kurt Cobain killed himself in 1994.

    Most recently, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/15/courtney-love-explains-foo-fighters-rant_n_1095238.html" target="_hplink">Courtney explained</a> why she hates the Foo Fighters frontman, after playing a show in Brazil.

    "What I was saying, is Dave makes $5 million a show, he doesn't need the money. His mother's a banker, his father's a stock broker and he's making $5 million a show. Why the f**k then does he have a Nivana Inc. credit card and I don't? And last week he bought an Aston Martin on it," she said.




  • Miley vs. Selena Gomez & Demi Lovato


    Disney starlets do not play nice. In 2008, teen queen Miley Cyrus went head to head with Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato.

    BFFs Selena and Demi used to make goofy videos they would post to YouTube, much to the chagrin of Miley as it turned out.

    Miley and her BFF Mandy made a parody video where they mocked the other girls, making fun of their makeup and the gap in Demi's front teeth.

    The feud appeared to come out of nowhere. "To be honest I don't know what happened," <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2008/08/01/the-miley-cyrus-selena-gomez-demi-lovato-feud-nonexistent/" target="_hplink">Selena told MTV</a>. "I though we were okay, but to be honest, I don't even know [Miley and Mandy]. And Demi has never met Miley. It's interesting -- that's all I'm going to say about it."

    They all eventually made up and became friends. <a href="http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00021443.html" target="_hplink">Miley addressed the feud in a YouTube video in 2009: </a>

    "So everyone's thinking there's a big feud between me and Selena and Demi. Actually, I'm going to have meatloaf with Demi tonight. I'm riding my bike to Demi's house. So I'm going to be partying with Demi 'cause we're friends, and I love her and she is always there for me. She is one of my bestest friends."




  • Donald Trump vs. Rosie O'Donnell


    There are many celebs who have feuded with Donald Trump, but his ongoing fight with Rosie O'Donnell remains the most memorable.

    In 2006, Rosie criticized Trump for not dethroning Miss USA Tara Conner after her drug scandal and she called him a "pimp" and "snake oil salesman."

    Never one to take things lying down, Trump responded by calling her a "big, fat pig" and a "loser."

    Their feud dragged on until no one wanted to hear what either of them had to say and it unfortunately started up again. <a href="http://www.accesshollywood.com/donald-trump-and-rosie-odonnell-feud-reignited_article_57986" target="_hplink">In December 2011, Trump tweeted</a>, "Same last name, same bad ratings - @lawrence and @rosie," and linked to a YouTube clip of himself ranting about how neither of their talk shows were doing well.

    Rosie tweeted back, "How many billionaires sell ties and have crappy non reality shows -- none - go back to selling snake oil #bankruptmuch?"

    Neither will spare the public of their immaturity and their feud continues today.




  • Will.i.am vs. Perez Hilton


    Gossip blogger Perez Hilton was confronted by the Black Eyed Peas at the Much Music Video Awards in 2009 and began hurling insults at Will.i.am and the rest of the band.

    Perez was <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/22/perez-hilton-called-willi_n_219088.html" target="_hplink">punched in the face</a> by Will.i.am's manager and the blogger later tweeted, "I was assaulted by Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need a police report. No joke."

    Will.i.am later denied Hilton's claims and Hilton shot back with a 12-minute video blasting the Black Eyed Pea as a "disgusting human being" and "a fucking liar."

    Perez later sued Will.i.am's manager and a s<a href="http://wonderwall.msn.com/music/perez-hilton-black-eyed-peas-manager-settle-suit-1537413.story" target="_hplink">ettlement was reached.</a>




  • Lindsay Lohan vs. Brandon Davis


    Who needs enemies when you have friends like Brandon Davis?

    Back in 2006, Lindsay Lohan was pals with Paris Hilton, until Paris accused her of trying to steal her boyfriend, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos.

    Once Lindsay was on the outs with her socialite friends, oil heir Davis took it upon himself to brand Lohan with a nickname.

    While drunk in LA one night, Davis was filmed ranting about Lohan, <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2006/05/17/paris-and-brandon-davis-the-incredible-hatred-toward-lindsay/#.T2FG_HJSTdc" target="_hplink">dubbing her "fire crotch," and making other rude and disgusting claims.

  • Kelly Osbourne vs. Christina Aguilera


    These ladies need to learn to keep their comments to themselves.

    Back in the day, Christina Aguilera apparently used to call Kelly Osbourne fat, and now that Kelly has slimmed down and Christina has gained a few pounds the tables have turned.

    Osbourne made sure to call attention to the singer's weight gain, not once, but twice in 2011.

    "Maybe she is just becoming the fat bitch she was born to be. I don't know. She was a c**t to me. And she bought my house," Osbourne said <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/04/kelly-osbourne-calls-christina-aguilera-a-fat-bitch_n_918063.html" target="_hplink">during an episode of "Fashion Police" that aired in August.</a> "She called me fat for so many f***ing years, so you know what? F**k you! You're fat too."

    Then in October, the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/17/kelly-osbourne-i-was-never-as-fat-as-christina-aguilera_n_1015490.html" target="_hplink">singer was again the topic of discussion on the show: </a>

    "Lady Marmalade got into the peanut better again," quipped co-host Joan Rivers when criticizing Aguilera's too-tight outfit.

    "She called me fat for years, I was never that fat," Osbourne said and later added, "Trust me, I'm a 2/4. That is not a 2/4."




  • Shannen Doherty vs. Alyssa Milano


    Shannen Doherty has a reputation as Hollywood's bad girl and feuded with nearly all of her "Beverly Hills, 90210" castmates, and yet it was her feud with Alyssa Milano that will go down as the worst.

    The "Charmed" co-stars began fighting on set during the third season and it was reported that Shannen was jealous of Alyssa's popularity.

    Tension ran high on set and things grew so heated, producers had to bring in a mediator to resolve their issues. When they couldn't work things out, Shannen left the show.




  • Mariah Carey vs. Eminem


    Is there anyone Eminem hasn't feuded with?

    Eminem and Mariah Carey began to spar after he claimed that they used to have a sexual relationship. Mariah denied the relationship, telling Larry King, "I hung out with him, I spoke to him on the phone. I think I was probably with him a total of four times. And I don't consider that dating somebody."

    Mariah later mocked his claim in her video for "Obsessed," which featured an Eminem look-alike who was obsessed with her.

    The rapper retaliated with a number of songs that mentioned Carey and threatened to release nude photos of the singer as well as voicemails to prove they dated. In the song "The Warning" he raps:

    "Shut the fuck up before I put up all the phone calls you made to my house when you were "Wild N' Out" before Nick, when you was on my dick and give you something to smile about."




  • Charlie Sheen vs. Chuck Lorre


    When Charlie Sheen lost his mind in 2011, he dug his own grave and lost his job as the highest paid actor on television.

    Sheen went on a rampage, verbally attacking "Two and a Half Men" showrunner Chuck Lorre, after CBS suspended the series due to Sheen's insane behavior.

    After Lorre make a joke about Sheen, the <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20469063,00.html" target="_hplink">actor attacked him, calling Lorre a "clown" </a>, and made a strange anti-Semitic dig, saying his real name is "Chaim Levine" (though his name is actually Charles Michael Levine). Sheen continued to blast Lorre as a "stupid, stupid little man and a p*ssy punk that I never want to be like."

    Now that Sheen appears to be sober, Lorre has <a href="http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-01-11/news/30618049_1_half-men-fx-network-leaf" target="_hplink">chosen to take the high road.</a> "I wish him well. I'm glad he's happy and sober," he said in January 2012.




  • Lauren Conrad vs. Heidi and Spencer


    "You know what you did," Lauren Conrad screamed at Heidi Montag on an episode of "The Hills."

    Lauren and Heidi's friendship began to dissolve in 2007, when Heidi started dating Spencer Pratt. "He's a sucky person," she infamously told her one-time best friend.

    Heidi chose a relationship with Spencer over a friendship with Lauren and spread a rumor there was a<a href="http://www.justjared.com/2008/05/01/heidi-montag-lauren-conrad-feud/" target="_hplink"> Lauren Conrad sex tape floating around. </a>

    Heidi tried to repair things with Lauren, but she wasn't having it. "I want to forgive you and I want to forget you," Lauren told her as <a href="http://www.sheknows.com/living/march-madness-mix-up-gallery/cry-faces/lauren-conrad-3" target="_hplink">mascara ran down her face</a>.

    The feud eventually ended but they never repaired their friendship.

    As Spencer began to fade into obscurity he tried make himself relevant by burying the hatchet with Conrad, <a href="http://tv.yahoo.com/news/lauren-conrad-planning-ignore-spencer-pratts-apology-000504559.html" target="_hplink">wishing her a happy birthday</a> on Twitter in February 2012.




  • Chris Christie vs. Snooki


    New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has no love for the "Jersey Shore" cast and Snooki isn't fond of him either.

    Christie has been vocal about his distaste for the cast and has referred to them as "losers," and also vetoed a $420,000 tax credit for the MTV reality show in September 2011.

    Snooki doesn't appriaciate being called a loser and the pint-size reality star <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/01/snooki-refuses-to-vote-for-chris-christie_n_1247211.html" target="_hplink">tweeted that she wouldn't be voting for Christie for president </a> and added, "Love always, the "buffoons" from that degrading Jersey Shore show."

    Christie wasn't and isn't running for president, but Snooki regardless explained:

    "I DEF don't want a judgmental president who has NEVER met me in person. F that. idc who exploits me. But for a man wanting to be president&calling us names when he's never met us..no thanks. I'll stick w Obama."




  • Kid Rock vs. Steven Tyler


    Kid Rock had a big problem with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler taking on a new gig as a judge on "American Idol" in 2010.

    Kid Rock didn't believe a true rock star would even think about working for a show like "Idol" and proceeded to trash Tyler for it.

    <a href="http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/39954827/ns/today-entertainment/t/kid-rock-slams-steven-tylers-american-idol-gig/#.T2ICPGLLwbI" target="_hplink">Rock told<em> Entertainment Weekly,</em></a> "I think it's the stupidest thing he's ever done in his life. He's a sacred American institution of rock and roll, and he just threw it all out the window. Just stomped on it and se it on fire."

    At a press conference, Tyler <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/steven-tyler-on-kid-rock-hes-just-jealous-20101105" target="_hplink">responded</a>, "He's just jealous, he's just jealous. And he's working on his new record, so God bless him."




  • Chris Brown vs. Miranda Lambert


    Miranda Lambert was not happy to see Chris Brown performing at the Grammy Awards.

    "And Chris Brown Twice? I don't get it. He beat on a girl...Not cool that we act like that didn't happen," she tweeted referencing Brown's brutal 2009 assault on Rihanna.

    Brown responded indirectly by tweeting, "Hate all you want because I got a grammy now! That's the ultimate f*** off."

    Then at her concert, Lambert held up a handwritten poster that read, "Take notes Chris Brown" and said to the audience, "Listen, I just need to speak my mind. Where I come from, beating up on a women is never OK. So that's why my daddy taught me early on in life how to use a shotgun."

    Brown fired back in a series of tweets: "Using my name to get publicity? I love it! Perform your heart out! Go buy @miranda_lambert! So motivational and "PERFECT." Goodnight to all the people who live life and who aren't stuck in the past!"




  • Brett Ratner v. Olivia Munn


    In actress Olivia Munn's book "Suck It, Wonder Woman," she recounts her brief romantic dalliance with director Brett Ratner and didn't have anything nice to say about the size of his penis.

    Ratner <a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/243711/20111104/brett-ratner-admits-banged-olivia-munn-promoting.htm" target="_hplink">addressed the claims on "Attack of the Show" saying</a>, "I used to date Olivia Munn, I'll be honest with everyone here, when she was Lisa...she wasn't Asian back then."

    He continued:

    "She was hanging out on my set of 'After the Sunset,' I banged her a few times. But I forgot her...because she changed her name...I didn't know it was the same person, so when she came and auditioned for me for a TV show I forgot her, she got pissed off, and she made up all these stories about me eating shrimp and masturbating in my trailer."

    Munn responded by tweeting a link to a <em>Cosmo</em> article she had written titled, "How to Stand up to an A-Hole," that detailed an incident with a director she called the "Douche."




  • LeAnn Rimes vs. Giuliana Rancic


    LeAnn Rimes is skinny -- so skinny that she has people worrying that she's not eating.

    The equally skinny Giuliana Rancic was one those people.

    Pot, meet kettle.

    The two skinny ladies battled it out <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/30/leann-rimes-responds-giuliana-rancic_n_941579.html" target="_hplink">telling each other to eat a sandwich. </a>




  • Ciara vs. Rihanna


    Rihanna and Ciara -- who both dated Chris Brown in the past -- got into a heated public spat in February 2011.

    First Ciara made a dig at Rihanna on "Fashion Police," saying:
    "I ran into her recently at a party. She wasn't the nicest. It's crazy because I've always loved and respected what she's done in fashion. It wasn't the most pleasant run-in."

    When Rihanna heard what Ciara had said, she fired back on Twitter. "My bad Ci, did I forget to tip you? How rude of me.... You gangsta huh? Ha."

    They volleyed insults and threats at each other and then Rihanna called a truce.

    "Ciara baby, I love you girl! You hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I'm heartbroken! That's why I retaliated this way! So sorry! Let's make up."

    Ciara accepted the apology and that was that.




  • Kourtney Kardashian vs. Farrah Abraham


    This might be one of the most ridiculous celebrity fights of all time.

    "Teen Mom" cast member Farrah Abraham didn't think things through when she criticized Kourtney Kardashian on Twitter.

    "I'm shocked Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant again Did she not learn anything from TEEN MOM? Maybe its a fake pregnancy like kims wedding SAD," she tweeted.

    Kourtney was understandably confused by the attack and tweeted back, "Why would I have anything to do with Teen Mom? I'm 32 years old! I may look young, honey, but don't get it twisted."

    While Kourtney suggested that Farrah had no idea what she was talking about, the "Teen Mom" star couldn't resist firing back at her:

    "Guess what! Age and money honestly do not change a person's poor choice. Quit making excuses," she tweeted.

    Kourtney's boyfriend Scott Disick also got in on the fight, sarcastically tweeting at Farrah, "We're not teenagers, ya f**king moron." When asked if he knew who she was, he responded, ""I just thought she was some shit stain on Twitter, no?"

    Sadly, this Twitter fight actually continued with Farrah later tweeting, "4 all who mistunderstood: regards to kourtney K.~I hope she takes her relationship w/her boyfriend more serious 4 their children-takecare."

    Shortly after, however, she couldn't resist getting one more word in with a jab at Disick:

    "Caught wind of these dramatic articles, w/ loser scott disick or some boyfriend of kourtneys, is Shit Stain < racist 4 black?" she wrote. "Great dad! NOT."




  • Anthony Bourdain vs. Paula Deen


    Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain is not a fan of Paula Deen's cooking. In 2011 he told <em>TV Guide</em> she was "the worst, most dangerous person to America."

    Deen responded, claiming, "You know, not everybody can afford to pay $58 for prime rib or $650 for a bottle of wine. My friends and I cook for regular families who worry about feeding their kids and paying the bills . . . It wasn't that long ago that I was struggling to feed my family, too."

    Months later, after Deen announced she has Type 2 diabetes and was now a paid spokeswoman for a diabetes medication, Bourdain <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20562258,00.html" target="_hplink">responded with a thinly veiled tweet</a>: "Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later."

    Deen fired back that Bourdain should "get a life".




  • Jonah Hill vs. Matthew Morrison


    Jonah Hill made it clear he was no fan of "Glee" star Matthew Morrison, when he appeared on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" in September 2011.

    Hill recalled a "douchey Hollywood party" where he tried to eavesdrop on a conversation between "Gossip Girl" actor Chace Crawford and Morrison, who had<a href="http://www.dlisted.com/2011/09/23/fight-fight-jonah-hill-vs-matthew-morrison" target="_hplink"> made a joke at Hill's expense at an event a few weeks earlier</a>. He then overheard the two drop his name and start laughing.

    Hill took the opportunity on "Late Night" to call out the "Glee" actor:

    "Matthew Morrison, you better bring your sh*t next time I see you...I'd like to see him sing his way out of this one," he said.

    Morrison responded by sending a goofy video to "Late Night," where he finished his joke about Hill and then accepted the actor's challenge, saying, "Nobody messes with someone from musical theater!"

    This extremely dorky feud <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1673980/jonah-hill-matthew-morrison-sitter.jhtml" target="_hplink">eventually just blew over</a>.




  • Chelsea Handler vs. Michelle "Bombshell" McGee


    Chelsea Handler <a href="http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2010/04/chelsea-handler-goes-after-michelle-bombshell-mcgee-some-more.html" target="_hplink">started a feud with Jesse James' tattooed mistress Michelle "Bombshell" McGee in 2010,</a> with a joke she wrote on her blog: "I guess she doesn't read magazines which makes sense, since she basically has one on her face."

    McGee responded on her Facebook page writing:

    "Chelsea, here's some free advice: Use some of that Botox from your forehead and put it in your flabby underarm skin. I've seen better wings in a bucket of KFC chicken." And later wrote, ""In all seriousness, Im a big fan of 'Chelsea Lately' ... I was laughing my ass off.... feel so honored to have a transexual [sic] poke fun of me ..."

    Don't mess with a comedian -- Handler didn't hold back with her response to McGee:

    "First of all, look at my forehead, you dumb bitch, okay? It moves ... You have a tattoo on your forehead, so you have had a needle in your forehead -- and probably Jesse James' balls. So shut your face."




  • Ryan Murphy vs. Kings of Leon


    This feud started after Kings of Leon declined to allow the Fox series "Glee," to cover one of its songs on a future episode.

    "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy was pissed and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/26/kings-of-leon-vs-glee-nathan-followill-fires-back-at-ryan-murphy-in-homophobic-rant_n_814351.html" target="_hplink">sent a message to the band via <em>The Hollywood Reporter</em></a>:

    "F**K you, Kings of Leon," he said. "They're self-centered assholes, and they missed the big picture. They missed that a 7-year-old kid can see someone close to their age singing a Kings of Leon song, which will maybe make them want to join a glee club or pick up a musical instrument. It's like, OK, hate on arts education. You can make fun of Glee all you want, but at its heart, what we really do is turn kids on to music."

    KOL member Nathan Followill fired back with a homophobic dig at openly gay Murphy, tweeting:

    "Dear Ryan Murphy, let it go. See a therapist, get a manicure, buy a new bra. Zip your lip and focus on educating 7yr olds how to say f**k."

    Realizing how his comments could be seen, Followill later tweeted: "I'm sorry 4 anyone that misconstrued my comments as homophobic or misogynistic. I'm so not that kind of person. I really do apologize."




  • Tom Cruise vs. Brooke Shields


    In 2005, Tom Cruise seemed to have lost his marbles when he jumped on couches on Oprah's talkshow.

    He then lashed out at actress Brooke Shields, while on the "Today" show, telling Matt Lauer that Shields should not have taken antidepressants to combat the postpartum depression she was suffering from after the birth of her first child. Cruise, a Scientologist who shuns psychiatry, insisted the depression could be treated with "vitamins and exercise."

    Shields responded by writing an <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/01/opinion/01shields.html" target="_hplink">op-ed piece in the <em>New York Times,</em> writing</a>:

    "I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Mr. Cruise has never suffered from postpartum depression ... And comments like those made by Tom Cruise are a disservice to mothers everywhere ... If any good can come of Mr. Cruise's ridiculous rant, let's hope that it gives much-needed attention to a serious disease."

    Cruise later apologized to <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1531255,00.html" target="_hplink">Shields, the actress told Jay Leno </a>a year later. "He came over to my house and he gave me a heartfelt apology. And he apologized for bringing me into the whole thing and for everything that happened," she said.




  • Taylor Swift vs. Kanye West


    Kayne West infamously hijacked Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 Video Music Awards, interrupting her to say, "I'm really happy for you. I'ma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time."

    Swift was dumbstruck by the incident and it seemed as if she didn't want to get into it with the rapper.

    "I don't know him, and I've never met him, so..." she said. "I don't want to start anything because I had a great night tonight."

    A year later she was literally singing a different tune. At the 2010 VMAs she p<a href="http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2010/09/13/taylor-swift-kanye-west-mtv-video-music-awards-youre-still-an-innocent-time-we-had-a-toast/" target="_hplink">erformed her new song</a> "You're Still an Innocent," a reference to the previous year's incident with West, basically calling him immature. "Thirty-two and still growing up now / who you are is not what you did / you're still an innocent," she sang.

    Kanye didn't have any right to fire back, but of course he did. At a concert in New York City, <a href="http://www.popeater.com/2010/11/24/kanye-west-concert-taylor-swift/" target="_hplink">West blasted Swift to his fans</a>:

    "Everybody needs a villain, don't we? We need to blame someone at all times ... I was emotional, that was not exactly the way I wanted to word it, but I wrote it, I rode it, just as Taylor never came to my defense in any interview, and rode the waves and rode it and rode it."

    The feud seems to have blown over, as Swift wore a blouse from Kanye West's spring 2012 collection in the <a href="http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2012/03/07/taylor-swift-kanye-west-design-harpers-bazaar-australia/" target="_hplink">pages of <em>Harper's Bazaar.</em> </a>

CMA Awards Campaigns Get Elaborate WIth Blake Shelton And Brett Eldridge

CMA Awards Campaigns






NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The folks at Warner Music Nashville are showing they know how to get your attention. And this time of year, it's all about attention, with the County Music Association Awards being presented next week.


This includes mailing out a nifty virtual record player to promote Blake Shelton at the CMAs and hiring a marching band to draw attention to new artist nominee Brett Eldridge.


Peter Strickland, WMN's executive vice president and general manager, calls these attention-getters awareness campaigns, and they sure have raised awareness.


The virtual player has been the talk of CMA voters. It includes a vinyl copy of Shelton's "Based on a True Story" laid in a thin plastic rectangle. Scan a code with your cellphone, put it on the record, and a digital arm appears that allows you to "play" the music. You can move the arm back and forth, just like on a turntable. And the vinyl album can be played on a real turntable.


"We just wanted to focus on the music and we knew if we did something totally revolutionary, I guess, that people would take the effort to listen to it," Strickland said. "The hardest part is to get the CD from the package into the player to pay attention to the music, and we didn't have an issue with this piece."


Each awards show has its own set of rules about lobbying for an artist. The CMA encourages artists and their labels to educate voters, allowing three email blasts and one mailer a year. Brandi Simms, the CMA's director of membership and balloting, oversees the program and vets the mailers to make sure they conform to a few guidelines.


Most mailers consist of simple items like CDs or postcards, but vinyl albums have become popular. Taylor Swift sent out a tour book this year. (Jason Aldean once sent out a translucent plastic envelope containing a memorable letter.) Before Shelton set the bar this year, the most memorable item in recent years was the holographic picture of Billy Currington that featured two images as you moved it back and forth — one with the singer's shirt on — and one with it off.


"Does it influence voting? I have no idea," Simms said. "I can't tell you if it does or doesn't. But I think at the end of the day the voters enjoy getting the CDs in the mail and things like the Blake Shelton mailer. I've gotten more calls because people can't figure out how to use them. It's just really a cool member benefit."


The CMAs on Wednesday night isn't the only awards show that Music Row focuses on. The Grammy Award nominations will be announced Dec. 6 and the Academy of Country Music Awards will be presented next spring. Then it will be time to start focusing on the CMAs again.


"It's a lot of fun to do, but it goes from one to the next to the next," Strickland said. "It always seems like we've got a campaign going on."

Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore divorce settled

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have reached a settlement on their divorce, two years after the couple formally separated in November of 2011.


The glacial divorce proceedings have apparently come to an end Thursday after nearly a year of disputes.

The "Ghost" actress, 50, will not receive any spousal support, according to TMZ sources.


It was reported that Moore initially wanted money from her ex-husband on the grounds of alleged infidelity, but according to TMZ, California laws offer a “no fault” argument against her claims.


RELATED: DEMI MOORE, ASHTON KUTCHER DIVORCE STALLED OVER MONEY


Moore filed for divorce in March, three months after Kutcher and over a year after their actual split. They were married from 2005 to 2011.


The "Two and a Half Men" star, 35, became the highest-paid actor on television during his time on the show, and though Moore is worth an estimated $150 million, she was reportedly gunning for a big payout from her ex to cover the cost of her lawyers and even apartment renovations.

In the settlement, Kutcher was "a little more generous than he had to be," according to the gossip site's sources, when it came to splitting their property, but they were able to share items acquired during the six-year marriage.


The former couple were involved in several business ventures together. In September, Kutcher and Moore were seen walking and talking together at Burbank Airport after attending a tech conference in San Jose as the terms of their divorce were still being hashed out. They ignored questions from paparazzi about Moore's spousal support demands.


Both parties are apparently "satisfied" with their settlement, TMZ reports.


The Daily News' request for comment from Moore and Kutcher's lawyers has not yet been returned.

Futuristic Audi supercar roars to life on the big screen in 'Ender's Game'

   The Audi Fleet Shuttle Quattro was an exclusively digital design from the German automaker.

The Audi Fleet Shuttle Quattro was an exclusively digital design from the German automaker.




Audi is no stranger to the world of futuristic science fiction blockbusters, but "Ender's Game" marks a first for the automaker.


In contrast to the Audi e-tron driven by Tony Stark earlier this year in "Iron Man 3" or even the Audi RSQ concept featured in 2004's "I, Robot," the Audi Fleet Shuttle Quattro that will debut in "Ender's Game" only exists as a digital design.


RELATED: SMART REINVENTS THE DRIVE-IN MOVIE WITH NEW CONCEPT CAR


For the film, actors drove an Audi A7 Sportback that was later replaced by special effects firm Digital Domain. The Fleet Shuttle Quattro serves as the first time Audi's team has designed a solely digital car for a Hollywood production.


“It was a very special moment for me when I finally saw our sci-fi Audi on the silver screen,” Björn Wehrli of the team of designers said in a statement. Designers were inspired by the futuristic world of "Ender's Game" created by director Gavin Hood.

“We have created a car for a world in about 75 years, which integrated itself perfectly into the high-tech atmosphere of the movie.”


A 1:4 scale model of the Audi Fleet Shuttle Quattro was built for use on the film's red carpet and now has a home at the Audi Design Studio.

'About Time,' movie review

   Domhnall Gleeson. Rachel mcAdams in ABOUT TIME



Rachel McAdams and Domhnall Gleeson share special moments in 'About Time.'




While kids will be busy stuffing themselves with sweets all weekend, adults get their own sugary treat courtesy of rom-com king Richard Curtis.


Curtis, who’s had a hand in everything from “Four Weddings and a Funeral” to “Notting Hill” to “Love Actually,” certainly has the recipe down pat. That may be faint praise, but occasionally, as Halloween reminds us, synthetic excess is acceptable.


In this case, we get a quirky concept, a romantic relationship, a gorgeous setting, several major milestones and some tearjerking sentimentality. From that description alone, you should know whether “About Time” is your kind of movie.


If so, you’ll probably be charmed by the uncommon courtship between Mary (Rachel McAdams), a young expat living in London, and Tim (Domhnall Gleeson), an aspiring British barrister.


Once Tim turns 21, his father (Bill Nighy) shares a major ancestral secret: all the men in their family can travel through time. So whenever Tim bungles his dates with Mary, he just rewinds and starts over, until he gets it right.


This trick, it turns out, is also useful elsewhere. His playwright friend (Tom Hollander) has a terrible opening night? Close the curtain and begin again. His sister (Lydia Wilson) falls for a jerk? Return to their first meeting and distract them both. A family member becomes seriously ill? Uh-oh. Some things, it seems, aren’t so easily fixed.


There’s some fun to be had here, but one can’t help wondering whether Curtis, who wrote and directed, should have gone back and fixed a few of his own errors before releasing the film.


For one thing, he’s geared his romance far more toward men than women, which seems an odd approach for such a conventional date-night flick.


The strongest emotional connections are between the male characters, while the time-traveling is a power bestowed only upon men — and kept secret from wives, who are regularly manipulated without their knowledge. Also, and for no apparent reason, our handsome leading actor is made to look like a geeky, overgrown adolescent throughout.


On the bright side, there’s no hiding Gleeson’s intelligence and crack timing, especially in his scenes with the wonderful Nighy. These are the best moments in the movie, particularly when they get to bond at the family’s stunning, beautifully shot seaside mansion in Cornwall.


McAdams is luminous, but she’s treated as a secondary character — just one more necessity in a film that also has to cram in New Year’s kisses, first dates, a wedding, a funeral, a new home and childbirth. Not to mention lots of earnest philosophizing about each of these events.


What makes the calculated sentimentality palatable is Curtis’ intelligent assurance as he guides us through each step. It’s a gooey indulgence, to be sure, but one that will please anybody with a cinematic sweet tooth.

Adam Levine Is The Calvin Klein Of Kmart, Apparently

Adam Levine is killing it at Kmart.


No, really. The singer debuted his apparel and accessories collection for Kmart earlier this month, and it's apparently flying off the shelves. Speaking to Women's Wear Daily, Bernt Ullmann, president and chief executive officer of Star Branding and president of Kmart parent Sears Holdings Corp.’s Shop Your Way Brands, said that Levine's popular offerings have managed to usher in a brand new type of customer for the mass retailer:


"The white space is for that younger, upwardly mobile [male] Kmart customer that wants a cleaned-up lifestyle product that still has a contemporary feel to it. That's not really covered on the floor today. To that extent, I think Adam has the ability to be Kmart's Calvin Klein business."

Likening Levine to Calvin Klein, a mass retail giant in the fashion biz, is a pretty bold statement. After all, "The Voice" star had previously mocked the concept of a celebrity lending his or her name to a fragrance, tweeting, "I also would like to put an official ban on celebrity fragrances. Punishable by death from this point forward."


We suppose that he's changed his tune after going ahead and launching his own fragrance this year. And now, with this successful Kmart gig, it appears he's actually pretty great at the whole star-backed brand schtick. Go figure.


Think they're jealous?
