Can Director Bill Condon Handle Breaking Dawn Sex Scenes?

breaking-dawn

It’s official: Bill Condon will direct the final Twilight Saga movie(s?), Breaking Dawn. The guy’s got a solid resume: he directed Dreamgirls and Kinsey and is also an Oscar-winning screenwriter (he won for Gods and Monsters, was nominated for Chicago). Impressive, yes - but can he handle the vampire f*ck-fest/violent stomach-tearing vampire birth/creepy Jacob-Renesmee love affair that is Breaking Dawn? (Er, spoiler alert.)

What do you think about the latest directorial choice, Twi-hards? Did you want Summit to bring back Catherine Hardwick, Chris Weitz or David Slade instead? Will Condon click with his romantically linked stars, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson? Most importantly, will he give us the R-rated sex scenes we so desperately want to see?! (Don’t lie, you know you want to see them in all their bed-splitting glory too.)

Rumors We Love: Rihanna Has A Secret Girlfriend?

rihanna-melissa-forde

You’d think with the amount we write about Rihanna, we would have heard this one by now. According to sites like Necole Bitchie and AllieIsWired, RiRi has been secretly dating her friend/assistant Melissa Forde (allegedly, of course). Their proof: they’ve been spotted holding hands and getting their cuddle on and have matching tattoos (in different places).

Would we be psyched if Rihanna was pulling a Lohan behind our backs while pretending to date baseball star Matt Kemp (Rihanna’s rumored fiance)? Absolutely! But have these bloggers ever seen women interact with their friends? When we get together with our gal pals we spend most of our time spooning each other and 90 % of us have tramp stamps that resemble some member of the butterfly family. Chances are these BFFs are just extra close, with nothing too R-rated going on behind the scenes.

Cringing With The Stars: Two Hours Of Awkward Dancing In One Digestible Clip

Here we are again, staring at our television in disbelief that Dancing With The Stars is really America’s #1 TV show. As is our weekly ritual, we forced our poor video guru Pete to suffer through last night’s episode so we can bring you all the painful, awkward and offensive moments from America’s most atrocious celebrity dance-off in less than 60 seconds. Is the show more or less painful without Kate Gosselin’s tears and stiff scarecrow arms? You tell us.

New Eclipse Trailer: We Want More Making Out Action, Less Action Action!

Okay Twi-hards, let’s get to it. We just watched the new Twilight Saga: Eclipse trailer and we gotta be honest - we have some complaints (don’t hurt us, just hear us out!). Allow us to present them to you now, in order of “BOOO!”-ness.

1. Is the make up artist trying to make Edward increasingly paler in every movie on purpose? By the time we get to Breaking Dawn he’ll be transparent, which will really suck for those of us who are holding out for those bed-breaking Brazilian love scenes.

2. Kristen Stewart’s wig, you make K-Stew’s atrocious Joan Jett haircut look luscious. Did they make the poor girl to sleep in a hat every night to flatten that thing out even more? Why David Slade/Summit didn’t force Kristen to get extensions and dye the goth look is beyond us. Bring back Bella’s old hair!

3. WHERE IS THE KISSING? The making out? The snuggling to keep warm? The tent full of sexual tension? The Edward and Bella dry humping? This movie is for GIRLS (and er, grown women) and sure, we gals like action but we like ACTION a lot more (especially action that involves a shirtless Robert Pattinson, pleaseeeee).

Okay okay, now that our rant’s over we’re ready to gush. We’re excited to finally see some drama and danger (much improved from the motor bike snooze-fest that is New Moon), Bryce Dallas Howard looks badass as Victoria and OMG! The engagement ring!

It’s big.

Check out our gallery of screen-grabs from the trailer below and feel free to put us in our place in the comments. We know you can dish it and we can definitely take it.

Naomi Campbell Takes A Swing At ABC News Camera

We checked our calendars and realized, hey, it’s been six whole weeks since Naomi Campbell has hit someone - we’re due for another assault. Well, we got one today after Naomi angrily walked out of an interview with ABC News and took her aggression out on the camera that was taping the whole thing. She does realize there was tape in the camera, right? Which we are all going to watch?

Campbell was being interviewed after accusations that she received a “blood diamond” from deposed Liberian president Charles Taylor. She denies receiving such a gift and refuses to cooperate in an investigation against Taylor (who is charged with “crimes against humanity” - it doesn’t get much worse than that, does it?). Because when you own a giant f*cking diamond, what are a few crimes against your fellow humans?

Leona, J-Hud Will Right Fergie’s Wrong On Sex And The City 2 Soundtrack

leona-lewis-jennifer-hudson

VH1 Divas Jennifer Hudson and Leona Lewis have been confirmed as artists on the upcoming Sex and the City 2 soundtrack. The news comes as a relief to all of us who suffered through Fergie’s atrocious “Labels or Love,” which was the title track on the movie’s first soundtrack. You remember - it was that nauseating jam that mixed the show’s opening theme music with designer references and a beat a 6 year old produced on Garage Band. It was so bad it probably made Carrie cringe.

The soundtrack will also included a new T-Pain produced Cee-Lo track (auto-tune it up, please!) and two covers: Alicia Keys doing “Rapture” by Blondie and Liza Minelli busting out her version of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.” Yes you heard that right: Liza wants you to put a ring on it. Even if the movie stinks, it’s producing what will surely be the greatest cover of all time.

Heather Locklear Continues To Ruin Driving Record With Hit And Run

heatherlocklear

Heather Locklear, professional she-demon of 1990’s television, has once again gone and mortified herself on the open road. The actress was busted for a hit and run last Saturday, after she apparently ran into a “no parking” sign at 4 in the morning and then left the scene of the, uh, crime.

Cops did a little bit o’ cop magic and figured out that the car in question was Locklear’s black BMW. When they later cruised past her house they noticed a bunch of damage on the car - we’ve learned from watching TV that this is called evidence! - and cited her for the accident. No arrest actually took place, which was surely a relief for Heather as she’s already suffered through one humiliating incident with the cops when she was arrested for a DUI in 2008.

Lindsay: Sam Ronson Spit On Me

lindsay-lohan-samantha-ronson

Oh glorious day! There’s nothing we love more than rising with the sun to discover Lindsay Lohan has accused her ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson of something crazy on Twitter. Her words set our heart a flutter and the crazier they are, the better. Lindsay, who is currently trying to break the world record for most nights in a row spent out partying, returned from a fun weekend at Coachella (see Twitpic above) and apparently hit up Trousdale, where she ran into her ex-lover…and her saliva.

Tweets LiLo: “@samantharonson spit in my face and left w/ @mileycyrus ’s ex.” We’re assuming Linds is talking about Justin Gaston, Miley’s beefy, Jesus-loving ex. We don’t know Samantha Ronson in real life (But if The Secret works, we will soon!), but we know enough of her to imagine she’s not the type of lady who spits on anyone, much less her insomnia-suffering ex. But for now all we have to go on are Lindsay’s words, as crazy as they may be.

Cringing With The Stars: Two Hours Of Awkward Dancing In One Digestible Clip

Once again, we forced our poor video guru Pete to suffer through last night’s episode of Dancing with the Stars so we can bring you all the painful, awkward and offensive moments from America’s most atrocious celebrity dance-off. Because we have no soul or cultural taste we watched the show as well, and trust us - our 55 second video makes last night’s 90 minute mess of horny judges, horny contestants and Kate Gosselin (who is begging for your votes) go down easy.

Sandra Bullock’s First Public Outing Is A Planned PR Stint

Here she is, America’s scorned sweetheart Sandra Bullock, looking every bit the shafted wife of a cheating poon-hound while out for a hike in Northern California. Sandy just happened to be out for a wilderness stroll, pondering the meaning of love and life without her wedding ring, when - looky there! - a cameraman from Getty popped out from behind an evergreen and snapped a pic. Er, not so fast.

According to Page Six, Sandra and her team ofÂ? PR vultures arranged the exclusive shoot with the photo house, successfully spurning the paparazzi and starting a bidding war among tabloids and celebrity talk shows. Entertainment Weekly walked away with the pics and a $60,000 hole in their pocket.

Well played, Sandra! We hope you and your divorce lawyers take down Jesse James in a similarly planned and precise manner. Screw attempting to play up that Oscar (which is surely worthless after Tattoo F*ck Fest 2010), his suffering = your refurbished image!
