Terrell Owens Rehabs His Leg on 'The T.O. Show' (VIDEO)

Filed under:

Terrell Owens rehabs his leg on 'The T.O. Show' The NFL regular season is just a couple of weeks away, and Terrell Owens is still sitting on the sidelines, rehabbing and hoping a team will pick him up. Before anyone takes a chance on him, he needs to show his left leg is completely healed after an ACL tear. Owens gave us a glimpse into that rehab process on 'The T.O. Show' (Mondays, 10PM on VH1).

"I know that if I don't get my knee right, I'll probably never ever play football again," he said. "Nobody really knows the extent of my injury, so my mindset is just to really just go into this rehab session on day one, put my head down, full steam ahead, and just keep going forward."

Mark Hamill Spills 'Chuck' Cameo Details, Talks All About Playing Bad Guys

Filed under: , ,

Mark HamillMark Hamill made a career for himself playing Luke Skywalker in the 'Star Wars' franchise, but he's since made his career doing just about everything else, including playing quite a few anti-Skywalker bad guys ("I love Luke, don't get me wrong," he said with a laugh).

When the 'Chuck' cast announced at Comic-Con that Hamill was the latest awesome guest star popping by the show to play villain for their final season (premieres Fri., Oct. 21, 8PM ET on NBC), the crowds geeked out as their universes collided.

But we knew very little about the bad guy he's playing ... until now. I caught up with Hamill to hear all about his James Bond-style cameo (including some details he probably shouldn't have mentioned -- mild spoilers ahead!) and whether or not he'll be returning for more than just "one scene."

He also talked about his voice work as The Joker, first in animation and now in hit video games Arkham Asylum and the upcoming Arkham City. I even got him to say a line in the Joker's voice -- don't you kind of wish this was a video interview?

Keep reading for more 'Chuck' talk and bad guy banter with the one and only Mark Hamill.

Peter Andre reveals why he?ll never stop making music?

It?s not the first time Peter Andre has vowed to never stop making music and it probably won?t be the last.

He doesn?t seem to mind that his last single was a flop and he?s most definitely not going to let it stop him from doing what he loves.

The Mysterious Girl singer admitted, ?You've got to make the best out of a bad situation. I'm one of these people who never gives up.?

Well, you?ve got to admire his determination if nothing else. No?

He then explained, ?There was a time when even Will Smith?s music wouldn?t sell because he was doing so well in the movies and they couldn?t do the two together.

?But he may take a break from the movies and do the music and that might go huge. You never know. You just keep going.?

Lil Wayne MTV VMA Performance: Perhaps the Most Ridiculous Thing Ever


Lady Gaga's performance kicked off Sunday's MTV VMAs. Lil Wayne's ended the show, and was possibly even more ridiculous than anything preceding it.

"Performing" two songs from Tha Carter IV, which comes out today, Weezy wore no shirt, with pants down to his ankles and every other word bleeped out.

From what we've heard, "How to Love" channeled Kanye's 808s and Heartbreak, while "John" featured a full rock-band presentation over Wayne's quote-unquote vocals.

Not that you'd know, thanks to MTV censors, but hey. Watch it here:

Cheryl Cole?s going to be back on our TV screens again?

Did we just hear a ?YAY!!!!!!? from you lot?

No? Ah right, well we?re sure some of you at least will be glad to hear that Cheryl Cole will be back on our TV screens next year.

On ITV to be precise; she?s apparently poised to sign a �1.5million so-called "golden handcuff deal" with the channel to keep her onboard. A source blabbed:

"Cheryl?s been inundated with offers but knows ITV and its staff from her 'X Factor' days so has gone with them.

?The exact contract details are to be thrashed out but Cheryl is determined to take a well deserved break until next year."

It?s thought this deal will include a possible chatshow plus she may be doing one of those ?An evening with?? things that ITV seem so fond of. Sounds naff if you ask us, can?t they come up with some original television concepts for her?

Such as ?Cheryl drops her gunge?, a weekly show where Cheryl gets to gunge really nasty people who nobody likes, like Colonel Gaddafi or Nick Clegg.

Hmmm, no that one needs more work. Any suggestions?

James Toback On ?The Gambler? Remake: ?Not Possible? Rudeness And Disrespect?

post thumbnail EXCLUSIVE: Imagine if you’d written a 1974 autobiographical masterpiece of a screenplay about compulsive gambling directed by Karel Reisz and starring James Caan. Imagine also if you just found out it was being remade by writer William Monahan, director Marty Scorsese, and actor Leonardo DiCaprio and no one told you. What is most incredible, and also despicable, is that neither the original studio Paramount nor the original producers Irwin Winkler and Bob Chartoff bothered to reveal they were going back to Toback’s creative well without him. On Saturday, Toback phoned me and asked if he could write about this surreal experience for Deadline Hollywood. Here in its entirety is his sadness and anger mixed with his trademark humor, against the backdrop of the late, great, and heady filmmaking days of that decade:
Close to 3 AM on this past Friday I got my daily call from my friend and LA housemate, Brett Ratner. I was at my desk working on my 22nd revision of the John DeLorean script I was hired by Reliance and Ratner to write with Ratner directing and the legendary Bob Evans producing. “What are you doing?” Brett asked. “What do you think?” I said. “This is by far the toughest script to get right of any I’ve written in 35 years.” “What about The Gambler?” “That was lightning fast and easy,” I said. “Of course, it was my own story.” “That’s not what I meant,” ...

HBO Renews ?True Blood? For a Fifth Season


In a move that’s surprising to virtually no one, HBO officially gave the greenlight to a fifth season of “True Blood” on Thursday.

Not only is the vampire thriller one of HBO’s most popular series, but creator and executive producer Alan Ball had already informed reporters attending the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour that he had finalized a deal to continue as “True Blood’s” showrunner through the end of next season.� HBO is currently airing the fourth season of the series.

“I don?t have any desire to leave,” Ball told critics two weeks ago, “because I?m having more fun than I?ve ever had in my life.”

The fifth season has been cleared for 12 episodes and is scheduled to premiere…

'Punk'd' is Back! But Who's Behind the Hidden Camera Celebrity Pranks Now?

Filed under: , ,

Justin Bieber & Taylor SwiftAshton Kutcher has a very high-profile new gig on 'Two and a Half Men,' but the celebrity prank show that helped put him on the map is making a comeback with someone else at the helm.

That's right: 'Punk'd' is back at MTV, according to Access Hollywood, and tween pop idol Justin Bieber is behind the elaborate hidden camera surprises for the first new episode.

Last year, rumor had it that Bieber was in talks to be the show's permanent new host, but now MTV is mixing things up, having a different celebrity act as host for each episode.

So who did the Biebs punk on Friday in Los Angeles for his episode? None other than his pal Taylor Swift, just days after he joined her on stage at her "Speak Now" tour stop in L.A. to perform a duet of his hit song 'Baby.'

Who's a Better Rapper, Anne Hathaway or Natalie Portman?

rappers2.jpg
Rap battle: Catwoman vs. Black Swan! When Anne Hathaway recently rapped on Conan, her skills invited comparisons with Natalie Portman's profanity-laced performance on Saturday Night Live in 2008. While neither Anne nor Natalie should quit their day jobs, which starlet has better skills? In Touch had one of our favorite rising rappers, Nikki Lynette (nikkilynette.com), play Rhymin' Cowell and decide whether the actresses were macktresses or wacktresses.

Anne Hathaway
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKvQvWTZFWg&feature=share
Sample lyrics:
"Yo, I'm a paparazzi, I don't pay no Yahtzee, I go pop-pop-pop-pop/my cameras up your crotch-see."

Nikki says: "I was a bit biased as I listened to this because if I ever decided to have an 'I Kissed a Girl' moment it would totally be with Anne Hathaway (or Jessica Biel, I'm not picky). Her career as a gangsta rapper might not go so well until she toughens up a bit, that 'Cute As a Button' swag isn't gonna cut it. The funniest part about this is that Anne considers this to be 'In the style of Lil Wayne.' This video makes me wonder if Anne has ever heard a Lil Wayne song. And if she has... maybe the volume was turned down really low? However, her lyrics were passionate and from the heart, and now we all know that no celebrity's crotch is safe as long as the paparazzi are free to roam the streets."

Natalie Portman:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8e6-IeQ0aw
Sample lyrics:
"Don't test when i'm crazy on that airplane glue/put my foot down your throat/till you s**t in my shoe."

Nikki says: "Natalie chose to rap about the finer things in life, such as not being a role model. The video was bad ass, because SNL rocks. While Natalie definitely earned some street cred with this, aside from her mind-blowing lyrical content, I was not the biggest fan of her style of rap. To be honest, it seems like she was trying to sound like 'Feminem' but ended up sounding more like 'Nata Flocka Flame.' That's never a good thing!"

Nikki's Verdict:
"I'd have to say MC Anne Hathaway is a better rapper, because she performed her verse live and had better lyrical content. As far as famous rapping white girls go, I'd give them both two thumbs up. If they ever wanna step their rap skills up, I can teach them... but I'd have to charge."

Has Minka Kelly Found a New Man?


Seemingly, it would be very difficult to move on from Derek Jeter. But has Minka Kelly already done so?

It was announced this week that the shortstop and the actress have ended their three-year relationship and, already, rumors are surfacing that Kelly has cozied up to a co-star.

"We have seen Minka and Ramon talking in his trailer way after hours, and often late into the night," a source tells People of Kelly and Charlie's Angels actor Ramon Rodriguez "They have been together long after they need to be for the show."


Charlie's Angels Promo

Rodriguez portrays John Bosley on the upcoming ABC remake of this classic series. He's the only man in the cast, which is why another insider says there's nothing at all to his interactions with Kelly:

"They're just friends. Ramon is basically the only guy on set, so of course they all hang out with him."

Jeter, however, may be feeling the affects of this split. He went 1-4 with a strikeout last night in the Orioles 12-5 mauling of the Yankees.

On the surface, Taylor Armstrong and her husband, Russell, once seemed to have it all: a beautiful Beverly Hills home, an unlimited supply of cash and a sweet 5-year-old daughter, Kennedy. But when Russell committed suicide on August 15, just weeks after Taylor filed for divorce, sources say it became tragically clear that behind the scenes, they were living an entirely different reality.

Though Taylor and Russell?s fights were a common theme on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills show, insiders say that the couple were even more volatile behind closed doors ? and it often got physical.

?Russell and Taylor had a very abusive, unhealthy relationship,? an insider reveals, who says for years that Taylor covered the signs of his beatings with makeup.

In fact, in June he beat her so badly, he broke her eye socket and she spent five days at Cedars-Sinai hospital in LA. ?Now she has a permanent metal plate,? a friend reveals to In Touch exclusively.

The ?Buffy the Vampire Slayer? hottie looked to be enjoying herself as she filmed scenes for the upcoming fall season, sporting a blue top and black trousers.

And while some celebrities would rather just pay someone to fix things around the house, Gellar is more likely to give it a go herself.

?When something goes wrong I take it very seriously and I do not stop trying to fix it until it is done. I will only call someone out as a last resort because my greatest fear in life is having to call someone, like the plumber, out and he comes and says ?Oh, you just have to turn this thing?. It happened with the cable guy once. I tried everything I could to fix it. But he came and he gave me ?that? look and just said ?It?s unplugged.??

?Being female and blonde they just give you that look like the one your parents give you when you are small. It makes you feel so stupid.?

The "Material Girl" was joined by her boyfriend, Brahim Zaibat, and children, Lourdes and Mercy, as the group hit the Eden Roc waterfront to swim and jet ski in the refreshing Mediterranean water on Thursday (August 25).

After spending the days with the kids, Madge got all prettied up as she and Brahim made their way to the Colombe d'Or Restaurant in Saint Paul de Vence for a romantic dinner date.

Recently dishing on Madonna's new man, a source told tabloids, ?She?s proud of Brahim and sees no reason to keep their relationship on the down-low. After nearly a year together she wants to acknowledge him as her boyfriend."

The insider continued, ?They celebrated her birthday in the Hamptons and they acted like giddy teenagers. She never acted like this way before. She is genuinely smitten. She says she hasn?t felt this kind of passion since she was in her twenties! She says Brahim is like someone she met in another lifetime. Everything between them just clicks.?

Meanwhile, the 53-year-old singer will soon be heading back to the States - as she's lined up to present a special tribute to Britney Spears during the 2011 MTV VMAs in Los Angeles on Sunday night (August 28).

His hedge fund is wildly successful until he is targeted by an intruder who breaks into his home. At the time, I’d heard that Paul Greengrass was attached to direct, and his reps at CAA denied it. I wrote it anyway. Now, Harris has said in an interview for his soon to be published book that Greengrass is indeed going to direct and the filmmaker’s reps are now acknowledging it’s true. The novel will be published next month in the UK and January in the US. Chernin Entertainment’s Peter Chernin, Dylan Clark and Jenno Topping are the producers. and Harris is scripting it. Greengrass next directs the Somali pirate pic A Captain’s Duty with Tom Hanks starring for Sony Pictures. Robert Zemeckis has officially dropped out of the Warner Bros drama Replay, and the studio is trying to put the Jason Smilovic-scripted film back together with another filmmaker. Zemeckis exited because he has finally committed to direct Denzel Washington in the Paramount thriller Flight. In ... Read More »

Angelina Jolie Can't Control Pax

angpax1_wide.jpg
With their supersize brood ? six children between the ages of 3 and 10 ? it?s no wonder that Brad Pitt, 47, and Angelina Jolie need professional help. But In Touch has learned that one of the nannies regularly seen trailing the clan is, in fact, a therapist, tasked with helping 7-year-old Pax deal with his aggression. ?He?s become something of a bully,? a family insider reveals. ?He picks on [5-year-old] Shiloh, and even on his big brother, Maddox. He?s really having a tough time getting along with his siblings.?

It?s possible, of course, that some of Pax?s behavioral problems stem from his difficult early childhood. Unlike Zahara, 6, and Maddox, 10, who were adopted as infants, he was more 3 years old when he was adopted, and is still able to recall his hard-knock life in a Ho Chi Minh City orphanage in Vietnam. In the past, Angelina?s been open about the difficulty Pax once had adjusting to his new life. ?We?re slowly beginning to build his trust,? she said. ?It will take him a while to realize he has a family.?

But his chaos filled current lifestyle is likely also a factor. ?He?s having a difficult time with the constantschedule changes,? the insider says, ?and with the fact that people stare at him whenever he?s with his parents.? relationship expert Dr. Gilda Carle advises Angelina, 36, to focus on Pax and attempt to discover the source of his anger. ?It seems like it?s attention, and maybe answers, that he wants,? she says.

The Fairy Tale Ends Right Away for One Chef on 'Top Chef: Just Desserts' (VIDEO)

Filed under:

'Top Chef: Just Desserts'The second season of 'Top Chef: Just Desserts' (Wed., 10PM ET on Bravo) kicked off with a fairy tale theme, but it wasn't a happy ending for one contestant who would bear the unfortunate stigma of being the first person eliminated.

!!SPOILER ALERT!!

The season opened up with a Quickfire Challenge pairing up the fourteen contestants. Each was tasked with creating a soda-fountain inspired dessert, where Amanda and Nelson came out on top. That said, it's so early in the competition, it's hard to know who to root for yet.

Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth get touchy feely after a bite to eat?

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth only had eyes for each other when we spotted them leaving a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon.

The young lovebirds had a quick kiss and cuddle as they made their way back to their car and Miley accidentally stubbed her toe on route.

Meanwhile in some related news (sort of) Miley recently topped a poll in Rolling Stone magazine for the worst cover song of all time for her rendition of Nirvana?s hit single, ?Smells Like Teen Spirit.? Ah, shame.

Noel Gallagher has called a truce with Liam. Sort of?

What?s this, a rare moment of clarity from one of the Gallagher brothers? We don?t believe it!

Shockingly, Noel Gallagher has put his hands up and has admitted his feud with brother Liam may?ve gone a bit too far.

It did take a lawsuit for him to realise that, but better late then never eh?

Talking to the press today Noel apologised for saying that Liam cancelled an Oasis gig because he was hungover. He backed-up his brother?s claims that he had in fact been ill with laryngitis but stressed that Liam was taking it ?too far? by launching legal action against him.

He said their fight had got ?silly?, ?out of control? and was ?not cool?.

Ain?t that an understatement. Find out more in the video above.

Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith: Brunching Away the Pain!


There's really nothing that a good brunch can't fix.

Such was the attitude of Will and Jada Smith this morning, as the couple - under siege with rumors that she cheated on him with Marc Anthony - was spotted getting coffee and omelets at Bob Morris' Beach Cafe in Malibu.

Will and Jada Pinkett Smith

They departed holding hands and with huge smiles on their faces, making a point to acknowledge the paparazzi and pose for photos with fans. TMZ has a video of Will laughing about the "ridiculous" gossip.

Did the pair go out of its way to be seen in public? Laughing and seemingly in love? Probably. But that doesn't mean the chatter is true. What do you think? Did Jada cheat on Will?

Ellen DeGeneres' Cheesy Request

ellcheese1_wide.jpg
Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, love to cut the cheese! The couple are such strict vegans that any foods containing animal products are strictly off-limits.

In fact, Ellen and Portia, 38, are so serious about their special diet that when they ordered penne arrabiata at Madeo in West Hollywood on August 5, they skipped the parmesan. Instead, the couple came prepared with a faux version of the cheese made from soy. ?Ellen whipped out a shaker from her bag and Portia sprinkled it on their pasta,? dishes an eyewitness at the dinner. ?They seemed very concerned about making sure their meal was 100- percent vegan.?

Clearly embracing their healthy lifestyle, Ellen, 53, has at least admitted that nixing cheese was a challenge. ?It was hard,? she said. ?I loved cheese!?

Soleil Moon Frye Gives Women Inspiration with New Book, Blog on 'Today' (VIDEO)

Filed under:

Ann Curry and Soleil Moon Frye on 'Today'Soleil Moon Frye was famous at age seven for playing the proverbial precocious kid on 'Punky Brewster.' Now 35, she's married with kids of her own, has her own clothing line at Target, and is also a parenting and social media guru. Her memoir, 'Happy Chaos,' covers her life from child star to mom. Frye spoke with Ann Curry Tuesday on 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM on NBC) and tried to give people, especially mothers, a bit of inspiration.

The name of the book comes from Frye's attitude toward her household. "I don't know about you and your house, but it's insanity, you know what I mean?" she said. "Like, it's crazy at all hours, and I think we need to give ourselves a little freedom and cut ourselves a little slack and just do the best we can do."

Sue Sylvester Snubs Rachel In Real Life, Too

jane1_wide.jpg
Insiders say that it?s ?no accident? that Glee star Jane Lynch?s soon-to-be-published new tell-all, Happy Accidents, is filled with words of praise and encouragement when it comes to her longtime Glee co-stars like Chris Colfer (whom she calls an inspiration to gay teens) and Matthew Morrison (whom she gushes over as a huge musical talent).

But, oddly enough, Jane?s book, which is due out in September, doesn?t have much space devoted to singing the praises of the show?s breakout 25-year-old star Lea Michele. Perhaps the starlet?s famously diva antics on set are to blame for the snub!
