Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:11:04 GMT

She's been placing a priority on family as of late, and Gwen Stefani was spotted enjoying a fun-filled afternoon with her growing young boys this weekend. The "Wind It Up" singer took Kingston and Zuma to a local park in Santa Monica, California, with her little ones romping around the playground equipment as Miss Stefani conversed with friends while watching on from a nearby perch.

And Gwen certainly proved that being a mother does not mean losing your sense of style - as the 42-year-old held onto her fashion forward ways in a long pink coat, black leather boots and her signature red lips. Meanwhile, big brother Kingston offered up a little youthful uniqueness as he sported a spiky helmet while riding bikes with his 3-year-old younger sibling.

Sat, 18 Feb 2012 15:11:31 GMT

Tyra Banks has opened up about the secret behind her successful career and business. The 38-year-old media mogul, who will graduate from Harvard Business School this month, revealed that being "vulnerable" is okay because "things don't always have to be perfect."

"You have a drive that the average person does not have. I've just started to take care of myself, and you need to do that, too," she went on when being interviewed by Youngme Moon on Tuesday, February 14. "Don't chase the money, even if you want to be a banker. Chase the passion. Chase the dream."

During the casual 90-minute chat, Banks additionally informed, "Strategy is my strength, but I have too much diversification." Comparing her character on "America's Next Top Model" to her real self, she said, "I wish I was hard. ... I have armor, but a strategic knife can still get in those creases."

In the interview, Banks also told Moon the reason behind her enrollment in the Owner/President Management Program of Harvard Business School in 2010. "There's a difference between a career and a business," she said. "I'm not looking to build a company based on fans."

It turns out Ellen DeGeneres was wondering the same thing about the new Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover as we were. How on earth did Kate Upton fit into that itty bitty bikini?

The 19-year-old visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show to promote the annual SI issue and claimed the microkini wasn't that tiny. "I think it's just the pose," she said. You may not have heard of Kate before her sexy cover came out, but she is certainly no stranger to the sports world. She's won three American Paint Horse Association Reserve World Championships AND she's rumored to be dating New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez.

When questioned about the relationship by Ellen, who'll pretty much ask anyone anything, Kate coyly told her: "I don't know what you're talking about." The blonde, however, admitted to having met the handsome football star because her sister works for the team.

Jenny McCarthy has been tapped to host a new talk show on VH1. The network announced on Wednesday that the 38-year-old former Playboy model will headline The Jenny McCarthy Show, which aims to "celebrate as well as skewer everyone and everything in pop culture, news, fashion, TV, movies, and the Web."

“Our viewers connect with smart, funny, and outspoken women and Jenny certainly represents all of those elements wrapped up in a style that makes people smile,” VH1's executive vice president of original programming and production, Jeff Olde, said in a statement.

McCarthy rose to fame during the 1990s when she co-hosted MTV's dating show Singled Out. Since then she has appeared on Two and a Half Men, The Drew Carey Show, and many other comedy series. The Jenny McCarthy Show is set to premiere in the late summer or fall.

One Tree Hill is set to conclude at the end of this season and Bush isn't wasting any time setting up her next project. Partners is about two architects, one straight and one gay, whose friendship has lasted longer than any of their romantic relationships — that is until one of them decides to propose to his girlfriend, who will be played by Bush. Partners has not yet cast any of the other lead roles.

• Looks like Hannibal Lecter will definitely be creeping out TV audiences next season. NBC has given Hannibal, the new series that is described as a contemporary take on the characters from Thomas Harris' Red Dragon novel, a 13-episode straight-to-series order. The younger Hannibal role is sure to be one of the hottest in Hollywood — who do you think can do everyone's favorite serial killer justice? Sound off with your suggestions in the comments!

“After six wonderful years playing Emily Prentiss, I have decided it’s time for me to move on,” Brewster said in a statement to Deadline.com. “As much as I will miss my Criminal Minds family, I am excited about the future and other opportunities.”

Six years is a long time to spend solving gruesome murders. Seriously, have you seen Criminal Minds? It's the stuff of nightmares. For Paget's sake we hope her next project is a nice light sitcom.

• More pilot casting news, this time with 100% more joy for Chuck fans. Zachary Levi has been cast in Let It Go, a half-hour single cam ensemble comedy from Fox about a married couple (Levi will play the husband), his best friend, and her sister as they try to navigate, negotiate, and sometimes manipulate society’s unspoken rules (via Deadline). That show description needs some work, but we'd watch Zachary Levi watch paint dry, so we're onboard with Let It Go.

Hugh Hefner Hasn't Reached Out to Me After Son's Arrest, Claire Sinclair Claims

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 13:55:13 GMT

Though she holds the title of 2011 Playmate of the Year, Claire Sinclair didn't get any support from Hugh Hefner or Playboy Enterprises after Hef's son, Marston, was arrested for allegedly assaulting her. "Nobody's empathetic or concerned," the 20-year-old told E! News. "It's more like, cover it up and protect the image, you know what I'm saying?"

"In one aspect, I'm ridiculously offended by the way things are being handled, on the other aspect, I understand. It's family," she shared her thought further on the matter. "And they're looking out for their name, and I understand that but they need to at least, recognize what has happened and apologize for what has happened."

Speaking about her altercation with Marston, Claire recalled in the Tuesday, February 14 interview, "We had just freshly moved into the apartment, and I know Marston was a little stressed out about it, and Marston has been unstable throughout the whole course of our relationship."

The Playboy Playmate continued on, "And we got into an argument about something really silly and it kind of escalated and it became violent." She then detailed, "Initially, he kicked me and I went backwards, I fell. Then he punched me and grabbed me up, and I scratched him to defend myself. It was very shocking."

Marston was taken into custody on Sunday, February 12 night after a domestic-violence call was made from the house he shared with Claire in Pasadena. He was charged with battery on a spouse, and was released early Monday morning after posting a $20,000 bail. After he got out of jail, Claire went to the Pasadena Police Department to obtain an emergency protective order.

Claire has said she has no intention in pressing charges. "All I want is for Marston to give a public apology and I want him to get psychiatric help. I want him to admit that he did hit me more than once," she told E!. "If he can do all of that and get help, I will never press charges." She later posted a photo of herself with a bruised arm on Twitter, and noted, "This photo was Donated to TMZ to raise awareness about domestic violence."

Lana Del Rey's 'Born to Die' Debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:20:29 GMT

Lana Del Rey, polarizing creature that she is, has the No. 2 album in the country with Born to Die, which sold 77,000 units in its first week.

The successful debut comes after Del Rey's critically panned appearance on Saturday Night Live (which included shaky-yet-robotic vocals and walking in circles), and endless speculation about her authenticity (she'd previously released an album under her real name, Lizzy Grant, with considerably less-plump lips on her album cover). It's the first bit of good press Del Rey's caught in a while, as just this week she pulled out of a scheduled appearance at Austin's SXSW festival and postponed dates in Australia.

Del Rey also performed a four-song set at Amoeba Music in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and despite her management's request for a camera-free environment, a fan happened to catch her rendition of her hit "Video Games." The fans loved it. Perhaps even more loveable is comedian Holly Laurent's extremely well-executed spoof "Hunger Games." Anyone who's read Suzanne Collins' beloved trilogy has to watch it NOW.
