Zac Efron And Seth Rogen Think James Franco Is ‘EW!’

by 05/07/14

If it’s good enough for the First Lady and Channing Tatum, well then it should be good enough for “Neighbors” co-stars Seth Rogen and Zac Efron. We’re talking, of course, about the amazing Teen Nick show “EW!” starring Sara (“no h, because h’s are EW!”), who looks a lot like “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon.

On Tuesday night’s episode, Rogen (aka “Alison”), came down to the basement with her Venti Soy Dolce Creme Frappuccino — bought on her mom’s credit card, of course — to prove that just because you’re in drag doesn’t mean you can’t have a week’s growth of beard a show off your “MAYBE” charm necklace on your hairy chest.

Alison’s friend, Britney Anderson (Efron) had no such hair-removal issues and, like Miley Cyrus, she also loves Lil Jon’s “Turn Down For What.” For more duckface goodness, Efron twerking and James Franco disses, check this out:

by 05/06/14

Forget who wore what at the Met Gala, or what ring they did or didn’t wear, or drop on the ground.

And the real name of the game is snapping as many selfies as you can with as many other stars as possible.

Lily Allen
The Sheezus singer kind of killed the game, posting pics with Yeezus himself, Cara Delevingne, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, Rita Ora and A$AP Rocky.

Selena Gomez
A pic with John Legend and Chrissy Teigen and a slow dance video with pal-again Taylor Swift.

Cara Delevingne
Serious balloon game with Stella McCartney and Rihanna; a shot with Stella, Reese Witherspoon and Kate Bosworth; and then a snap with Nicole Richie.

Meet Miguel.

Kendall Jenner
Limo game.

Is Adele About To Drop A New Album?

by 05/05/14

If might feel like it’s been forever since Adele released her world-crushing, Grammy-winning 21 album. But, actually, she’s right on schedule. And although we’ve heard next to nothing about her third full-length release, it sounds like the drought is almost over.

“Bye bye 25,” she tweeted on Monday (May 5) along with thumbs-up shot from her bed. “See you again later in the year x.”

As it turns out, today is the 26-year-old singer’s birthday, which makes us think that the sequel to 21 might just be called 25? And if that’s the case, well, Adele is perfectly on schedule. Her debut, 19, came out in 2008 and 21 followed in 2011.

The “Rolling in the Deep” star has reportedly been writing with former Genesis singer/drummer Phil Collins, OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder and Grammy-winning songwriter Diane Warren on the new disc.

J.Lo Is Looking JWOW On Her ‘A.K.A.’ Album Cover

by 05/05/14

This summer is shaping up to be the battle of the divas of a certain age. After Mariah Carey surprised us last week with the head-scratching title of her 14th album and its birthday suit cover, Jennifer Lopez upped the ante with an even more bananas cover and title.

Lopez revealed the name of her eighth studio album over the weekend, A.K.A., which begs the question: what else are you known as? I mean, Mariah told us she’s (allegedly) called The Elusive Chanteuse, and we already knew Jennifer as JLo, so…

By now you’re probably heard “I Luh Ya Papi,” “Same Girl” and maybe even the new Max Martin-produced “First Love.” But that’s not really the headline here. The cover of the disc due on June 17, is, well … check it out.

According to Billboard, the disc features production from Max Martin and Diplo, and features from Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa and Robin Thicke.

Justin Bieber And Floyd Mayweather Got Pedicures, Massages Before The Big Fight: Watch

by 05/02/14

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is 45-0 headed into Saturday night’s fight against WBA welterweight champ Marcos Maidana. Does he have all the usual distractions a fighter has going into a unification bout? Sure.

But, c’mon, he’s an 11-1 favorite and he seems to be taking it all in stride. In fact, he’s so chill, he took time out this week to go on a spa date with his pal Justin Bieber, during which the pair got mani-pedis. “We call this the good life,” Mayweather said in a video of their man-date. “Pedicure … massage.”

You know, the usual pre-fight ritual stuff for JB, who was there with Floyd in September when the champ took out Saul “El Canelo” Alvarez.

Ed Sheeran Needs A Hug In His ‘One’ Video

by 05/02/14

Imagine watching Ed Sheeran play his heart-melting new single “One” in an empty Wembley Arena for just you. Like, you, Ed, 12,499 empty seats and lyrics like, “Tell me that you turned down the man/Who asked for your hand because you’re waiting for me/And I know you’re gonna be away awhile/But I’ve got no plans at all to leave.”

That’s what happens in the video for the single from Sheeran’s upcoming X album. In the just-posted moody black and white clip, Sheeran performs an unplugged version of the ballad in stark spotlight to a room as lonely as the drunken stumble home he sings about in the song.

Check it out.

Peaches Geldof Death ‘Likely’ Caused By Heroin Use

by 05/02/14

Three weeks after she was found dead at age 25, officials released the results of a toxicology test on British writer and TV host Peaches Geldof. After initial autopsy results were inconclusive, British officials said that heroin is “likely” to have played a role in her death.

According to BBC News, Detective Chief Inspector Paul Fotheringham said at an inquest hearing on Thursday that, “recent use of heroin and the levels identified were likely to have played a role in her death.”

Geldof was found by her husband, musician Tom Cohen, in a spare bedroom at their home on April 7 after he became concerned that he could not contact her. She was pronounced at the scene in what police described as a “sudden and unexplained” death. The mother of two was the second daughter of musician and activist Bob Geldof; her mother, Paula Yates, died of a heroin overdose at age 41 in 2000.

“All of the friends and family who had contact with Peaches during [the weekend before her death] described how she seemed her normal self and was making plans for the future, including a family outing for her sons following the weekend,” Fortheringham said. “There was no cause for concern.”

BBC News also reported that police have launched a criminal inquiry into the “supply of drugs” in connection with Geldof’s death. At press time there had been no arrests. A full hearing on the inquest will take place on July 23.

Why Is Miley Cyrus Still Sick?

by 05/01/14

Miley Cyrus just can’t catch a break. After being laid up in a hospital for more than a week due to a “severe allergic reaction” to the prescription antibiotic Cephalexin, the singer had to push back the first two dates of her upcoming European tour.

And just when it seemed like she was on the mend, telling Ryan Seacrest in an interview earlier this week that she was feeling strong and ready to rock the stage again. So what’s going on with Miley?

“In general, adverse reactions to medications are frequently encountered and, among these, adverse reactions to antibiotics are the most frequent,” said Dr. David Lang, Department Chair for Allergy and Immunology at the Cleveland Clinic.

Lang, who has no first-hand knowledge of the Cyrus case and was speaking in general terms, said penicillin and related drugs rank first in terms of allergic reactions to antibiotics. Cyrus told Seacrest she is allergic to penicillin and didn’t realize that the Cephalexin she was prescribed to treat a sinus infection had the drug in it.

Lang said that Cephalexin is among the most commonly prescribed antibiotics and that some people who react to penicillin may react to Cephalexin as well. “In some cases the reaction is sufficiently mild that the suspension of the antibiotic is enough to get back to normal,” he said. “But in others, it is more serious.”

In some cases, the reaction requires hospitalization and may cause a skin rash that could be serious, as well as other complications, including ...

Why Are Usher And Ariana Grande Whispering?

by 05/01/14

I’m gonna go ahead and admit it right now: I’m kind of obsessed with “(Wait) The Whisper Song.” Yeah, I know it came out almost a decade ago and ATL crunk-rap duo the Ying Yang Twins aren’t exactly on it right now.

But I’m not the only one who’s feeling the 2005 nasty-talking hit. And maybe it’s a coincidence, but “Whisper” is totally having a moment right now. In the past week, both Usher and Ariana Grande released singles that heavily reference Kaine and D-Roc’s magnum opushhhhhh.

In fact, “Whisper” is just one of several throwback references in Grande’s “Problem” single. In addition to a beat that pays homage to Amerie’s “1 Thing,” Grande tips her hat to the Twins with a lyrical callback in the line “I’ve got one less problem without you.”

Ush got in on the action too with the teaser for “Good Kisser,” which combines both sexy whispering and whistling.
