New ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ trailer debuts. Goosebumple overdose in progress.
I’m finding it difficult to type, Popwatchers, because I’ve just watched the first full trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and my entire body is currently riddled with goosebumples. Before I apparate you over the jump so y’all can watch the trailer and discover for yourself the sensation of a goosebumple overdose, a word of warning: The opening of this trailer includes an iconic and surprising moment between Harry and Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest. Those of you who’ve read the final Harry Potter book know exactly which scene I’m talking about, but those of you who haven’t — those of you who’ve only consumed Harry Potter as a cinematic experience, and not a literary one — may find this scene to be a big honking spoiler. Indeed, pretty much all of the footage ahead,...
Alicia Keys Baby Bump Watch: Live in NYC
She announced last month that she is pregnant and engaged to Swizz Beatz, but Alicia Keys is showing no signs of slowing down just yet. The singer performed her mega-hit "Empire State of Mind" and more for Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series in NYC Friday. Is that the first traces of a baby bump we see? Baby bump or not, Alicia Keys looks terrific! This is the first child for Keys, 29, and it will be her first marriage. Swizz Beatz, 31, who has dated her for years, has two sons from previous relationships. Good timing, too: Keys' four-month-long Freedom Tour wrapped up June 4 and she recently performed at the World Cup kickoff...
Mena Suvari and Simone Sestito: Married!
Mena Suvari wed music producer Simone Sestito in Vatican City on Saturday in a "very romantic and traditional Italian" wedding with a few hundred guests. It's the second marriage for the American Beauty star, who wed cinematographer Robert Brinkman, 17 years her senior, in 2000 before splitting in 2005. Walking down the aisle, Suvari wore a gown by good friend Stacey Bendet, owner of Alice + Olivia. She had been engaged to Simone Sestito since 2008. "He got down his knees," Suvari said last fall. "It was very romantic. I love him. It's all about family and culture. I love his family and it just inspires me." Sestito is just as smitten....
Ne-Yo and Monyetta Shaw: Expecting First Child!
Ne-Yo is going to be a father. The singer recently told Ebony he is expecting his first child, and that he recently flew home to Atlanta to be with his girlfriend during her first ultrasound. "I am 30 and I do have my first child on the way, and I am very, very, very excited about that," Ne-Yo revealed. Ne-Yo's baby mama is Monyetta Shaw. Joking that his firstborn will be "stubborn, he revealed that his girlfriend is due to give birth in early 2011, meaning they must have just found out. "It's a New Year's baby," said Ne-Yo, whose new album is set for September 21 release. "I'm just in a really good place in life right now." Congratulations...
Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami (and Chicago), Scott Gets Wasted
Wow. What an amazing coincidence: the same week E! airs an episode of Kourtney and Khloe Takes Miami that focuses on Scott Disick being a pathetic drunk, that loser happens to get in a filmed fight with his neighbor. It's almost as if the marketing team planned it that way! Below, a THG intern offers up her thoughts on this week's installment of the most scripted show on television... It’s weird that Kourtney said she doesn’t go to clubs when she’s photographed at them ALL THE TIME and was at one two episodes ago. Still, this gave her a chance to get out of town with Khloe and head to Chicago. You’d think Kourt would want to support...
Chris Brown BET Awards Tribute to Michael Jackson: Tears Flow For the Man in the Mirror
Last night's BET Awards featured lots of big names - Kanye West, Usher, T.I. - but perhaps the most talked-about performance came from Chris Brown. The embattled singer, who has kept a relatively low profile of late, provided an emotional tribute to the late Michael Jackson, breaking down in tears. Chris was introduced by Michael's brother, Jermaine Jackson. After a lengthy performance featuring the sickest Michael-inspired dance moves you'll ever see, Brown took the mic to sing "Man in the Mirror" and lost it. Nearly six minutes into the elaborate MJ homage, his voice cracked, he couldn't sing, and at one point he crumpled to the stage...
Vienna Girardi to Jake Pavelka: Just Leave Me Alone!
Vienna Girardi is supposedly scared of Jake Pavelka. He says he'd get engaged to her all over again. Another day in the aftermath of the Breakup of the Century. After a taped reunion interview that reportedly involved Jake making a fist in anger, a Vienna source says she is afraid of Jake and doesn’t want to go near him. While ABC claims that no one was ever in physical danger, witnesses say the scene was ugly, and Vienna Girardi wants nothing to do with the guy ever again. “I am afraid of Jake because he is verbally abusive and controlling, I'm afraid of what he might do next," she told a close friend. “I just want to be left alone."...
Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas: The Outdated Photo Shoot
The July 2010 issue of Teen Vogue is a collector's item. How come? Because it features a lengthy photo shoot and interview with Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas... even though these two broke up last month! Fortunately, the singers remain good friends and got together for a second round of questions after their relationship fizzled. But it still makes for an interesting read when Lovato is asked how they originally got together and she replies: "One night I asked him, 'What is the deal? We're perfect for each other. What are you doing?' And he was like, 'This is really awkward. I have to go.'" Joe said he had to think it over, but returned...
Jennifer Capriati Rushed to Hospital, Recovering from Suspected Overdose
Former tennis star Jennifer Capriati was rushed to a Florida hospital yesterday, following a suspected drug overdose. According to TMZ, Capriati - who made her professional debut at the age of 13 and won three Grand Slam titles - was taken away by paramedics who responded to a call from a hotel in Riviera Beach. Her family says Jennifer is "recuperating at a South Florida hospital from an accidental overdose of medication prescribed to Jen by her personal physicians." Capriati was arrested for marijuana possession in 1994 and spent time in rehab before a return to tennis a couple years later. in July 2007, she left the game again and...
Report: Landon Donovan Knocked Up British Chick
U.S. soccer star Landon Donovan may be facing a crisis much bigger than his team's elimination from the World Cup this past weekend - a forthcoming love child. A newspaper in the UK will allege that a British woman is pregnant by Donovan, who is separated from his wife, actress Bianca Kajlich, but not divorced from her. His relationship with Kajlich became the subject of great interest last week after they shared an emotional phone call following his winning goal against Algeria. Donovan, who played for the Liverpool football club Everton this winter, blew her a kiss during an interview, fueling speculation that the couple might reconcile....
BET Awards Fashion Face-Off: Fergie vs. Cassie
While Chris Brown's BET Awards performance gets much of the attention, we can't forget about the obligatory, morning-after-awards-show tradition at THG: Picking apart the night's ridiculous fashion choices! Below, Fergie and Cassie go head-to-head in a clash of single-named titans. The Black Eyed Pea's tailcoat dress raised some eyebrows, for better or worse. Cassie's ensemble, meanwhile, defies description. Is that an ace bandage around her chest? That and the pleated pants really accentuate the half-shaved head, we have to admit. This could become a trend. Whose outfit looked better, fashion fanatics? Vote:...
Kim Kardashian Wins Website Award. Seriously.
Chris Brown may have pretended to cry hysterically over Michael Jackson at the BET Awards last night, but that despicable attempt at career revival was actually NOT the most absurd event to take take place over the weekend. Instead, that dishonor falls upon the entire concept of the Digital Supernova Award. The first of its kind was handed out to Kim Kardashian on Saturday night, as she was feted by Sony Ericsson and Buzzmedia for having the top celebrity website on the planet. (Tough break, Spencer Pratt. Better luck next tear!) Said Kim: “I’m so proud of my new site...
Vince Neil Arrested For DUI
Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil was arrested early Monday in Las Vegas on a DUI charge. The rocker is still at the Clark County jail pending a court appearance. There are no further details at present, but if Neil was indeed driving while inebriated, it would appear that he's learned little from a checkered personal history. In 1984, Neil was driving drunk when he had an accident that killed his passenger, Hanoi Rocks drummer Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley, spending 30 days in jail. The timing of the incident is also unfortunate for the 49-year-old, given that both his new CD, and his forthcoming memoir, are titled Tattoos and Tequila. Yes,...
Spotted: Alex Rodriguez and Cameron Diaz!
Yankees star Alex Rodriguez may have hit his 11th home run during last night's game, but his most exciting trip around the bases took place hours later! We mean he may be hitting it with Cameron Diaz. A-Rod and his New York teammates were in Los Angeles over the weekend to take on the Dodgers, and the slugger may have a new good luck charm. After parading around with Kate Hudson and winning his first World Series with the Yankees last season, might Cameron Diaz fit the bill here in 2010? Here's a picture of them from earlier this year: CALEX: This wasn't the first rendezvous for Cameron and Alex. The Rod and the actress made no attempt...
BET Awards Fashion Face-Off: Ciara vs. Keri Hilson
Both are hot R&B artists. Both know how to dress to impress. Both have been romantically linked to Chris Brown. While it's unclear the extent to which Ciara and Keri Hilson were involved with the star, whose BET Awards tribute to Michael Jackson drew a lot of attention (and mixed reactions), this fact is very clear: their dresses were eye-popping last night. The pictures below speak for themselves. These are not looks most women can pull off. Which one of them looked better at the BET Awards? Vote below!...
Angelina Jolie Considers Kids, Marriage, Movies and More
Perhaps sick of concocted cover stories in which she played no role - did you hear Brangelina is over?!? And Brad and Jen are sneaking around?!? - Angelina Jolie sits down with the latest issue of Vanity Fair and opens up about a number of life issues. Among them: the possibility of more children; an eventual marriage to Brad Pitt; and whether there will be a Mr. & Mrs. Smith sequel. Excerpts are below... Will she have more kids? “We’re not opposed to it. But we want to make sure we can give everybody special time. They’re kids now, and can play together, but they’re going to need a lot more talking in the middle of the night, ...
The Bachelorette Preview: Justin Rego Exposed!
It looks like one of The Bachelorette spoilers fans have been talking about since before the current season even began is about to play out tonight on ABC. Ali Fedotowsky is, like, feeling great about the remaining seven guys she brought to Turkey ... until a SHOCKING phone call outs the biggest turkey of all. Thanks to Jessie Sulidis, who befriended Ali on Jake Pavelka's season of The Bachelor, Ali learns that Justin Rego (Rated R) is there for the wrong reasons. Back home, he's been dating Jessica Spillas, who spilled to Jessie that he went on the show for publicity only. Needless to say, our girl is pretty pissed. Amazingly, ABC cameras captured all this! What are the odds!? The Bachelorette Preview: Ali is Furious Without revealing anything that the clip above doesn't...
Vanessa Hudgens Has Also Grown Up
Miley Cyrus isn't the only young actress making a point of telling the world that she's all grown up. She's just the only one who feels the need to do so by simulating a same-sex kiss with a back-up dancer. Vanessa Hudgens, conversely, is giving interviews to magazines in which she talks about taking on more mature film roles (such as the daughter of a drug addict in next year’s Beastly) and admits that she actually dislikes life in the spotlight. Here are a few excerpts of such a discussion with the new issue of Glamour: On pressure to be a role model: When I am around kids and they come up to me, of course I am going to act a certain...
Tiger and Elin Woods Reunite For Daughter Sam's Birthday, Barely Keep it Civil
For Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren, it's no longer a question of whether or not they'll remain together, but whether or not they'll remain civil toward each other. The pair reunited for the first time in months this past weekend to throw a birthday party for their daughter Sam, but were just barely civil with each other. According to sources, the party for Sam (whose birthday was June 18, during the U.S. Open) was scheduled for 4 p.m. Saturday and was to last two hours. Tiger didn't show up until 4:55, however, and he brought his office manager Kathy and another woman with him, making Elin Woods understandably angry. Fortunately, "they...
Taylor Lautner on Eclipse: It's My Favorite!
When fans ask Taylor Lautner to take his shirt off, he politely declines, but points them to June 30. That's the premiere for Eclipse, of course, a film that will once again deliver plenty of Jacob Black in the semi-buff. The man behind that amazing torso spoke to Matt Lauer on Today this morning and first showed his gratitude for the part he plays in general, saying: "I embrace this role and this franchise. It's done many things for me, I give all the thanks to it and I'm having the time of my life with it." As for Eclipse, Lautner doesn't need to sell the movie, as it will clearly make hundreds of millions around the world. Still,...
Sandra Bullock-Jesse James Divorce: A Done Deal
Sandra Bullock didn't waste any time. Not even four months after Jesse James' affairs with Michelle "Bombshell" McGee and other assorted hoes became exposed, the actress' divorce from him is final. Both Sandra Bullock and her now-ex have signed the final documents, filed and sealed with the clerk's office in Travis County, Texas, within the last week. Sources confirm the papers make the divorce final, although the contents, including all financial details of their split, will forever remain confidential. Insiders do say the divorce clears the way for Sandra to complete a single parent adoption, however. Initially, both of them planned...
Did Mel Gibson Bust Oksana Grigorieva's Grill?
It turns out Mel Gibson's estranged baby mama, Oksana Grigorieva did indeed go to the dentist following a confrontation with the actor on January 6. The question: Was Mel responsible for the damage she had repaired, or is Oksana just trying to manipulate circumstantial evidence to slander him? As we reported earlier, Mel punched Oksana in the face - she claims - twice during a heated argument, knocking out teeth and giving her a concussion. TMZ has since learned there are photos of the damage to Oksana's teeth and records showing that she did in fact go to a dentist the very next day. Why? That's what's being debated. OKSANA VS. MEL:...
Kristen Stewart Debuts New Hairstyle: Love It or Loathe It?
Twilight Saga fans may have June 30 circled as the premiere date for Eclipse, but Kristen Stewart offered her own exciting debut earlier today. Prior to an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, the beloved actress showed off a new hairstyle meant for her upcoming role as MaryLou in the movie adaption of Jack Kerouac’s On The Road. It's short, it's dyed, it's elegant and it marks a departure from Kristen's typically grungy look. We think it's beautiful! Do you agree? What do you think of Kristen Stewart's new lo...
Jay Z Puts the Moves on LeBron James
Jay Z is already a music mogul, a wildly successful rapper and producer. If he can lure free agent NBA star LeBron James to the New Jersey Nets, though, the team's new minority owner will become a god among sports executives as well. James becomes fair game July 1, but Jay is already putting on a full court press, with an assist to his close friend Steve Stoute, one of LeBron's marketing gurus. Stoute, whose firm, Translations, has hooked LeBron up to a number of big corporate sponsors, welcomed James to his birthday party, which Jay Z also attended. Z-ROUTE: Can Jay bring LeBron to the Nets? There, LeBron got the full Jay-Z experience:...
Ozzy Thrills At Homecoming Show
Ozzy Osbourne thrilled fans with a homecoming show in his native Birmingham, England on Saturday (26Jun10) – his first gig at the city’s Town Hall in almost 40 years. The rocker played an intimate concert for 400 loyal fans to mark the release of his new album, Scream, on Monday (28Jun10). Taking a break from his set, he told the crowd, “The last time I played this gig was f**king 1972. It’s good to be back in Birmingham!” Osbourne played Let Me Hear You Scream, the lead track from his new album, as well as a string of Black Sabbath hits including Paranoid and...
Jolie & Pitt Dropped ‘Personal’ Mr. & Mrs. Smith Sequel
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt dropped out of plans for a Mr. & Mrs. Smith sequel when they realized the script would mirror their real-life romance. Jolie admits she “fell in love” with her current partner on the set of the 2005 film, even though he was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time. They later became romantically involved after Pitt’s marriage ended, and many saw their onscreen roles as married spies as a precursor to their real-life romance. The Hollywood actress admits the couple, who now has six kids together, had been in talks to revive their...
Bell Quits Scream
Movie bosses behind the upcoming Scream sequel are scrambling to find a last-minute replacement for Lake Bell after the actress dropped out just days before filming was due to begin. The It’s Complicated star was due to play a police officer in the upcoming fourth installment of Wes Craven’s horror series, which sees Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox reprise their roles, alongside new talent including Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere. Bell has now been forced to quit her role due to scheduling conflicts and producers are desperately searching...
Jolie ‘Feels Safe Growing Old’ With Pitt
Angelina Jolie is convinced she will "grow old" with her partner Brad Pitt – because he’s the only man to make her feel "safe". The Oscar-winner has been married twice before, to Jonny Lee Miller between 1996 and 1997, and to Billy Bob Thornton, who she divorced in 2003 after three years. Jolie has been dating Pitt since 2005 and they now have six children together, and although the couple has no plans to marry, the actress is convinced the relationship will last. She tells Vanity Fair magazine, “I feel fortunate to have a relationship where I actually feel...
Fiennes Charged Over Car Crash
Famed adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes has been charged with driving without due care and attention in relation to a car crash in England in March (10). The explorer, who is cousin to actor brothers Joseph and Ralph Fiennes, was involved in an accident while driving his Jaguar sportscar near Stockport, England on 6 March (10) – the day before his 66th birthday (07Mar10). Fiennes, who completed a gruelling 42-mile (68-kilometre) nighttime endurance race the previous day, was taken to hospital but suffered no serious injuries, while the driver of the other car...

Pictures: Victoria Beckham’s New Hair Extensions
Just a few days after rumors started popping up that Victoria and David Beckham were splitting up,Vics decided to divert attention away from her marriage and onto her hair. After several years of rockin’ the cute pixie cut, Victoria has returned to her old WAG hair. Let’s hope the booty shorts and and cowboy boots don’t make a comeback too. Wearing a summery yellow dress, Victoria looked happy and relaxed as she arrived in the south of France with her three sons for a holiday break in their chateau. The 36-year-old showed no sign of added stress following her publicist being forced to deny reports the couple were planning to announce...
Kristen Stewart & Rob Pattinson Relationship Fake?
With a just a few days until the nationwide opening of Eclipse, the newest and hottest story about our favorite maybe-couple is that the entire thing is fake. Popeater published this interesting article about how it’s the norm for studios to manufacture relationships between co-stars these days. It’s called the Aniston Effect. Jennifer Aniston rarely makes a movie where she isn’t rumored to be hot and heavy with the male lead. And this season Dancing with the Stars tried to do the same thing. It’s not that far-fetched to believe that Rob and Kristen’s relationship is made up as well. Having Edward and Bella in love in real life has...
Gisele Bundchen Claims Her 6 Month Old Is Potty Trained
I’ve been developing a deep hatred for Gisele Bundchen for years. She’s physically perfect, before and after childbirth. She’s married to all-American hero Tom Brady. She was for sure part of the reason that Tom abandoned his first baby mommy while she was pregnant. She claims to have had a pain-free delivery when she brought little Benjamin in the world. She makes statements like, “some women turn into garbage disposals when they are pregnant” when she was explaining why she never had to wear maternity clothes. But worse than all that crap that does nothing back make normal women feel bad, she told Globo.com that she’s so against diapers...
Britney Spears and Jason Trawick Actually Look Happy
Britney Spears must have had her medication adjusted. She actually looked happy and relaxed as she was photographed at a gas station with her manager/boyfriend Jason Trawick this weekend. Did you notice that she is actually getting gas at the gas station and not Cheetos and a Coke. I haven’t seen these two physically touching in months....
Kate Hudson Watches New Boyfriend At Glastonbury
ate Hudson was in England this weekend at the Glastonbury Music Festival on Saturday to support her newest boyfriend. Kate goes through men faster than most of us go through toothpaste, and sometimes her judgment is OFF. (Alex Rodriguez, Lance Armstrong just to name a few) But this one I can totally get behind. Being a huge Muse fan I totally approve of this hook-up. Kate was photographed walking around backstage with an unidentified male friend, but according to everyone…her heart belongs to Muse frontman Matt Bellamy right now. Muse played last on Saturday and were joined by U2’s The Edge for a version of “Where the Streets Have No...
