He Is Groot: See Why Vin Diesel Is The ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ MVP

by 29 mins ago

For someone who only speaks the same three words over and over again, Vin Diesel‘s Groot is a pretty intimidating fella.

Diesel supplies the voice for the sentient tree-creature Groot in “Guardians of the Galaxy,” Marvel’s oddball space opera heading into theaters next month. And while we won’t see Diesel in the flesh when “Guardians” arrives, we have more than enough proof that the actor went above and beyond to get into character.

Case in point: Diesel’s new Instagram video showing the “Fast & Furious” star hard at work in the recording booth, repeating the signature “I Am Groot” line over and over again — albeit in Mandarin, not English.

You don’t need to speak Mandarin to understand what Diesel’s doing here. (Really, you don’t; he’s just saying “I AM GROOT,” because that’s literally the only phrase the character can say.) The very image of Diesel on stilts, when he very much does not have to be wearing stilts, growling his soon-to-be iconic line into the microphone, more than explains what we can expect to see from Groot when “Guardians” rocks our faces off in just a few weeks.

“Guardians of the Galaxy” hits theaters on August 1.

Justin Bieber Cuddles Up To Model Yovanna Ventura

by 33 mins ago

By the looks of it, it seems like Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez’s relationship may be off again.

Justin posted several photos of himself cozying up to model Yovanna Ventura on Tuesday. In one photo, Ventura wraps her arms around the “Confident” singer as he plays a keyboard.

Yovanna, who was spotted out with Justin on Tuesday at a Los Angeles restaurant and hanging out with the pop star’s friends, also Instagrammed two photos from their night together, captioning one of the pics, “sweetest guy ever.”

It seems like their time together went well into the night, since early Wednesday (July 9) morning, Justin posted another photo on Shots with the caption “sleepy.”

The two were first spotted together back in May, when Justin posted a photo of the two of them on Ventura Beach. Later that month, he posted a pic of Yovanna with the caption, “I see you In that Dolce Dress. Glad u had fun. :).”

Jelena fans may certainly be a little confused by these pics since just a few weeks ago it looked like Justin and Selena were very much back on. The two were spotted attending bible study, seeing a movie and visiting the zoo.

On Tuesday, Selena made news of her own when she posted some emotional Instagram photos and videos including encouraging messages from fans, and a text from an unknown sender saying, “I just wanna give you a hug and remind you ...

Need To Know: Mick Jagger Blamed For Brazil’s Crushing Defeat At World Cup

by 2 mins ago

With additional reporting by Janelle Myers

Get Booed Like Jagger? No, Thanks.
Brazilian soccer fans are blaming Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger for their team’s crushing defeat to Germany on Tuesday, branding him as a jinx — or as they like to say, “pe frio” — according to Billboard. They believed he cursed them when he publicly supported Brazil based on the fact that the other teams that he predicted would win the World Cup – Portugal and Italy – were knocked out of the tournament. Who do you want Jagger to root for next?

Watch Westeros Spring To Life In ‘Game Of Thrones’ Visual Effects Reel

by 27 mins ago

Dragons, White Walkers and giants galore — these are the creatures populating the world of “Game of Thrones,” but they’re not the only reasons why the HBO fantasy epic needs such an expansive effects budget.

As seen in this “Game of Thrones” visual effects reel, it took a whole lot of work to bring Westeros (and Essos) to life in season four. Between the mountain-topped towers of the Vale, the towering Titan of Braavos, the outrageously over-the-top wedding of Joffrey Baratheon and Margaery Tyrell, and beyond, nearly every location and event during season four of “Thrones” required tireless amounts of effects in order to come to life — even if those effects weren’t always so obvious.

Watch how Westeros came alive in season four in the video below:

“Game of Thrones” returns next spring for its fifth season.

Watch Halle Berry And Jimmy Fallon Make A Human Hamster Wheel

by 27 mins ago

Halle Berry has just done something pretty amazing for an Oscar-winning actress. No, we’re not talking about her jump to TV to star in the Steven Spielberg-produced pregnant astronaut space series “Extant” that debuts tonight (July 9), though that’s pretty amazing.

It’s what she did on Tuesday night with Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show” when she agreed to make a human hamster wheel with Jimmy, something we’re going to go ahead and assume nobody with an Academy Award on their shelf has ever done before.

“Should we show them how we roll?” Fallon asked Berry, who was wearing in a body-hugging black and white dress. “Let’s do it,” she said, kicking off her heels. “I’m promise I’m not going to peek, I’m not going to look at anything, trust me,” Fallon said as he laid down on the blue gymnastics mat and Berry positioned herself over him.

And this is how they rolled (five times!)

‘Pretty Hurts’ And 14 Other Songs You Didn’t Know Sia Wrote

by 5 mins ago

With Sia’s new album 1000 Forms Of Fear, out yesterday, we have 12 new tracks from the Aussie songwriter herself. But even though Sia (last name Furler) has a chunky discography of her own, she’s made quite a killing writing for other people.

Sure, you knew she wrote “Diamonds” for Rihanna, but did you know she wrote these tracks for other stars?

“Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself)” – Ne-Yo
Sia wrote the chorus on this catchy dance track.

“Diamonds” – Rihanna
According to The New York Times, Sia wrote the lyrics to this in 14 minutes.

“Sexercise” – Kylie Minogue
She wrote this and a handful of other songs off Kiss Me Once, which she executive produced.

“Standing On The Sun” – Beyonce
Sia wrote this with Greg Kurstin, a producer who’s worked with her a bunch, including on her own single “Chandelier.” Although the track didn’t make Bey’s album, it was featured in her H&M ad.

“Double Rainbow” – Katy Perry
Sia added some color to this Prism track she wrote with Kurstin in 2013.

“Perfume” – Britney Spears
Get a whiff of Sia’s style with this track she wrote with Brit and Christopher Braide.

“Pretty Hurts” – Beyoncé
Sia and Ammo offered this song to Katy Perry and Rihanna before Beyoncé got it, according to the Times.

“You Lost Me” – Christina Aguilera
She wrote this and two other songs on 2010′s Bionic.

“Cannonball” – Lea Michele
Benny Blanco and Sia aided Michele in writing a song that would mend her broken heart.

“We Are One (Ole Ola)” ...

‘Finding Carter’ Poll: Can Carter And Her Biological Mother Get Along?

by 3 mins ago

Discovering that your mom isn’t really your mom is bad enough, but realizing that your biological mother is a humorless, controlling ice queen? Yikes.

Tonight’s “Finding Carter” two-hour premiere left us reeling from not only the fact that the life Carter had come to know and love was pulled right out from under her feet, but her new, true parents aren’t exactly the cat’s pajamas. The teen’s dad David seems hellbent on exploiting his daughter’s abduction to make a quick buck, and her mom Elizabeth is more concerned with capturing Carter’s kidnapper than warming up to her own child.

While Carter appears to get along fairly well with most of her new family (when she’s not busy kissing her sister Taylor‘s longtime crush), she and Elizabeth are like the mother-daughter version of Sinead O’Connor and Miley Cyrus — it’s a never-ending feud.

The police officer and mom-on-a-mission is determined to keep her long-lost-but-now-found daughter under lock and key: She has her followed, tracks her calls, monitors her friends, looks through her private things and even lies to Carter’s face. Naturally, Carter reacts by rebelling – stealing the car, boozing it up with her twin sister, threatening to run away, missing family therapy sessions and more.


Yeah, I was kidnapped. Let’s party!

Elizabeth, who can barely utter the L-word to any of her family members, is kinda-sorta trying to make it work with Carter — when she’s not preoccupied with telling her what to wear to ...

This New Zealand Airline Safety Video: Sexy Or Sexist?

by 12 mins ago

Hold onto you oxygen masks, folks. Back in February of this year, Air New Zealand partnered with Sports Illustrated to create an airline safety video surrounding the magazine’s 50th anniversary. The video, featuring the publication’s signature swimsuit models, drew backlash from the Kiwi community and prompted a Change.org petition garnering over 10,000 signatures against the “sexist advertisement.”

According to the petition, “This video creates an unnecessarily difficult and uncomfortable working environment for its female staff, which goes against the entire nature of safety.”

Supporters rejoiced on Tuesday (June 8) as it was widely reported that Air NZ had removed the video after a five-month run. However, the video can still be watched via the airline’s YouTube account.

According to stuff.co.nz, an Air New Zealand spokesperson denies bowing to the social media pressure. Rather, “the Sport Illustrated video had reached the end of its run and was gradually being phased out of the aircrafts it was used on.”

This isn’t Air NZ’s first dip into sexy safety video production. In 2009 the airline released a “Bare Essentials of Safety” video depicting an entirely nude flight crew (with cleverly painted-on uniforms). Granted, this video features both men and women in the nude. Check it out below.

Tell us what you think about the Air New Zealand Sports Illustrated video. Sexy, or sexist?
