  • Jamie Dornan Heats Things Up in New 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Teaser Clip

    It has been a little while since Fifty Shades of Grey has generated good press so the powers-that-be decided to drop a little teaser clip today that's bound to make people forget that there could be anything at all wrong with this film. Jamie Dornan may not have been your first choice to play Mr. Christian Grey but they certainly do know how to set the tone and make him smolder on camera- probably without even trying. This clip includes his muscles, Grey's tie rack and then his extended hand as if he's inviting us to come along for the ride. That's it and it works.

  • Jordan Cashmyer of '16 & Pregnant' Admits to Attempting Suicide After Having Daughter

    Jordan Cashmyer was featured in an episode of MTV's "16 & Pregnant" that aired last June that left viewers a bit stunned. At the time she was pregnant with her daughter Genevieve and homeless in Maryland. Since having her baby last March, Cashmyer did finally secure a roof over her head, but other things fell apart. First she confirmed that she had started working in a Baltimore strip club, and now she admits her temporary silence on social media was due to a suicide attempt and subsequent hospitalization. Rather than letting rumors spin out of control, Cashmyer addressed the situation herself, writing on Facebook: "I have been struggling with a lot of different things emotionally since I had Genevieve. I was diagnosed with post partum depression and was on medication for a little while for it, but I never followed up with my appointment... My mood wouldn't stay stable for very long, I was extremely impulsive, couldn't focus, the smallest things would set me off, and my anxiety got worse, as did my depression and OCD."

  • Amber Vinson, 2nd Dallas Nurse Stricken with Ebola, Slams CDC's Criticism

    Amber Vinson was the second nurse who cared for Thomas Eric Duncan at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital to become infected with the Ebola virus. She raised eyebrows for taking a flight from Dallas to Ohio, and then back again a few days later while supposedly having a low-grade fever. Vinson was finally declared Ebola-free and released from the hospital last week, and while she asked for her privacy, I think many expected to hear from her because the CDC momentarily let her be its fall girl. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had said Vinson should never have flown and that it would have been against its guidelines. But it neglected to mention how nervous the whole situation had actually made her because the nurses who cared for Duncan were never trained until the moment they had to suit up to actively care for him. Vinson told Matt Lauer in an interview this morning on "Today": "The first time that I put on the protective equipment, I was heading in to take care of the patient. We didn't have excessive training where we could don and doff, put on and take off the protective equipment, till we got a level of being comfortable with it. I didn't have that, and I think that's very important for hospitals across the nation, big and small. Once Nina came down with it, my contact at the health department called me and gave me a list of things to look out for, symptoms to look out for and numbers to call if I showed any symptoms. I never had a number to call the CDC directly. I would always call my contact at the health department. And then when I was in Ohio, and I was scheduled to leave, because I was so afraid of what could potentially happen, I did ask them, 'Is there anything that you guys can do to send for me? Do I need to leave earlier?' Because you know, I was worried." Lauer quickly reminded her of how the CDC allowed her to be painted as careless and foolish ,and it was obviously still a sore spot for Vinson, as she explained: "It made me feel terrible, because that's not me. I'm not careless. I'm not reckless. I'm an ICU nurse. I embrace protocol, guidelines and structure. Because in my day-to-day nursing, it is a matter of life and death. And I respect that fact. I would never go outside of guidelines or boundaries or something directly from the CDC telling me that I can't go, I can't fly."

  • Jon Gosselin Would Like to Learn How to Co-parent with Kate Gosselin Via 'Couples Therapy' Reality Show

    Jon Gosselin is at it again. He's looking for another grand-scale way to get paid. Last month, we learned that Kate Gosselin's ex had been dumped by his girlfriend, lost his job and then was evicted from a house that accommodated his 8 kids for visitation. Gosselin's pattern over the years has been one of all or nothing. Either he is on top of the world or his life is a mess. He and Kate have battled for years since their split with Jon always being accused of looking for ways to drag her name through the mud in the press. Now it seems, Jon wants to play nice and maybe even repair things between them.

  • Hilary Duff Hates Talking About Aaron Carter's Obsession with Her

    Hilary Duff seems to be one of the few stars who has managed to cross over from being a child star into adulthood without suffering a major meltdown on a worldwide scale. No arrests or naked photo scandal, but she has gained a husband and a son in the process. Duff is covering the December issue of "Canadian Elle," and in her interview she admits to screwing up but doing it behind closed doors and then learning from her mistakes. And she hates talking about Aaron Carter's obsession with her because she thinkg he needs to move on. When the magazine asked what her key to leading a balanced life as a celebrity is, she chalked it up to therapy.

  • Will Smith's First Wife Sheree Fletcher Pulls Plug on Marriage to Athlete-Turned-Pastor Terrell Fletcher

    If you are a fan of VH1's "Hollywood Exes," then you are already familiar with Sheree Fletcher. She was married to Will Smith from 1992-95 and they share a grown son, Trey. When the reality show first premiered a few years ago, Fletcher was happily married to Terrell Fletcher, a former NFL San Diego Chargers running-back-turned-pastor. This past season, there seemed to be a shift in their relationship, and it has now been confirmed that Sheree has indeed filed for divorce after seven years of marriage to Terrell. According to TMZ, the couple actually separated last July, and in the most recent scenes of "Hollywood Exes" it seemed like there was a chance that a split was coming. It was never exactly said on camera, but Sheree had stepped down from her official duties in Terrell's church and seemed to be moving away from her life with him rather than embracing it.

  • Police Say Sash Alexander Nemphos, 16, Planned Maryland School Shooting on Halloween But Too Drunk to Do It

    Just a few short weeks after Jaylen Fryberg opened fire on a table full of his closest friends at Marysville-Pilchuck High School in Washington state, we are learning that another school came close to having a similar tragedy. On Saturday, Nov. 1, 16-year-old Sash Alexander Nemphos was confronted by police after being a suspect in several Monkton, Maryland, area theft cases. The teen was clearly intoxicated at the time and unveiled a plan involving a gun that he was accused of stealing. Nemphos claimed he was going to drive to school, shoot the officer who stands guard and then use his gun to kill as many kids and teachers as possible. He then told investigators he had originally intended to carry out his plan on Halloween because he had the gun in his backpack but had forgotten to bring several bombs he had built, so he postponed his plan. He chalked up his forgetfulness to being too drunk on that particular day.

  • Carlesha Freeland-Gaither Safe at Home, Delvin Barnes in Custody

    Carlesha Freeland-Gaither is safe and back at home in Philadelphia after a horrific ordeal that began last Sunday night, Nov. 2, when she was abducted from a Germantown street a few blocks from her apartment. The video of Freeland-Gaither being dragged, kicking and screaming down the block, went viral and probably played a huge role in investigators finding her in relatively OK shape Wednesday night, Nov. 5, in Jessup, Maryland. Delvin Barnes is currently in custody and is actually being held on an unrelated warrant for attempted capital murder. Apparently, U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents received information from Virginia that tipped them off to the notion that Barnes could be their man, and they found his vehicle late Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 4, on a road in Jessup. It had its back window kicked out, something that those who witnessed Freeland-Gaither's abduction said she had managed to do.

  • Amanda Bynes's Parents Surrendering Conservatorship, Moving To Texas

    The family struggle for control over Amanda Bynes's well-being seems to be coming to a screeching halt this week, as her parents are headed back to court once again. This time it will be different, though. Rather than fighting for conservatorship, they are instead ready to transfer everything over to someone else. According to a report by TMZ, Bynes's parents will be filing documents with the court soon to surrender the conservatorship over to a mental health professional. Bynes's finances will likely then be placed in the hands of an official money manager. After fighting with their daughter for years, it seems her parents are conceding that they cannot effectively help her at this point. They are hoping that if control is placed in the hands of someone else, then Bynes will perhaps stop lashing out so viciously and start to listen. Not only are her parents kind of washing their hands of the dysfunction, but they are also leaving California altogether. After a few years of drama, they are said to be ready to move to Texas to be near their older — and likely saner —daughter instead.

  • 'RHOBH's' Star Kylie Richards' Reeling after Her Sister Kim Richards' Dog Viciously Attacked Her Daughter Alexia Umansky

    Fans of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" are familiar with the often strained relationship between Kyle and Kim Richards. In between juggling a large family and a few businesses Kyle has made it a priority to keep tabs on Kim, who has struggled with substance abuse. Kim basically has used her animals as a form of therapy but in recent weeks there have been rumors that she might have slipped off the wagon again. If so, things would likely have been already strained last Saturday when Kim's dog went crazy on Kyle's 18-year old daughter, Alexia Umansky.

  • Dean McDermott Refuses to Keep 'Opening Up a Vein' and Bleeding on 'True Tori' Just to Collect a Paycheck

    If you have tuned in for any of Tori Spelling's second season of "True Tori," which is currently airing on Lifetime, then you already know it feels like a desperate last ditch grab for attention. Unfortunately, Spelling was hoping that by airing her dirty laundry and allowing cameras to film her therapy sessions with cheating husband, Dean McDermott, she would somehow emerge looking like a tower of strength. Instead she comes across more like an overly dramatic mess with a not-so-secret hoarding problem. The ratings are dismal and now even McDermott says that he is done selling his soul just to pay the bills.

  • 'GH' Star Kimberly McCullough to Direct Disney Channel Show 'KC Undercover'

    When Kimberly McCullough left her role as Robin Scorpio on "General Hospital" earlier this year, the actress said she wanted to branch out and focus on working on the other side of the camera as a director. McCullough took part in ABC's 2012-14 Directing Program, and it was just announced that she has landed her first real directing gig. McCullough will be directing an upcoming episode of "KC Undercover," Disney Channel's new comedy starring Zendaya Coleman. McCullough announced the news via her official Twitter and, ironically enough, she is not the only veteran soap star to decide to leave a plum acting job in favor of working behind the scenes. Allison Sweeney's final scenes as Sami Brady on "Days of Our Lives" aired last week, and after 22 years in character she, too, is excited to direct.

  • Virgin Galactic Pilot Peter Siebold Survived a Disintegrating Rocket at 50,000 Feet

    When Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo broke apart shortly after breaking the sound barrier last week, it was unimaginable that either pilot would somehow escape the wreckage. Peter Siebold and Michael Alsbury were both still strapped into their seats as the rocket disintegrated around them. Siebold somehow managed to eject from the ship and basically had to run on instincts to get himself back on solid ground. The "Los Angeles Times" breaks down exactly what Siebold was up against and how amazing it is that he survived rather than die, as Alsbury did. First we need to understand that these men could have been as high as an estimated 50,000 feet above Earth when things turned bad. That means that when Siebold began his fall his body was tumbling through temperatures of around 70 degrees below zero and the air is so thin he likely was unable to either inhale or exhale. Siebold also was not wearing a space suit to protect him from the lethal conditions.

  • Will Pippa Middleton Become Newest 'Today' Correspondent?

    Apparently, Pippa Middleton made such an impression on NBC after sitting for an interview last summer that the network has been courting her for a job. Kate Middleton's younger sister taped an interview with Matt Lauer for "The Today Show" that aired in June and the ratings were spectacular. The numbers confirmed what the network had already known: Americans love royals, even if they are only a married-in extension of the monarchy. Kate's marriage to Prince William has caused enormous interest in Pippa and NBC is hopeful that they will be able to add her as a new correspondent to Today. According to a new report by Page Six, Pippa has been working on a test piece in Utah and, if all goes well, then it will sign her to do special reports on subjects like health and fitness.

  • While GOP Swept Midterms, Political Canvas Will Likely Swing to Democrats in 2016

    The Republican Party was hopeful heading into yesterday's midterm election — with good reason. President Barack Obama's approval rating has hit an all-time low with even those who voted him into a second term often wondering if it was a mistake. Americans tend to favor making big, sweeping changes, and by late last night, as the numbers across the country were tallied, the Republican sweep was being referred to as a "wave." The GOP was able to seize control of the U.S. Senate by picking up at least seven seats previously held by Democrats, a wishful goal that had previously eluded them since 2006. The Republican Party also won 13 U.S. House of Representatives races, expanding its already sizable majority to at least 241 seats. That is the most seats the party has held since the days of President Herbert Hoover. The number of Republican governors will also greatly outnumber that of Democrats when Inauguration Day rolls around. People wanted change, and for now they will have it. Here's the thing: Since Americans like change so much, and it is going to take more than two years for our nation to feel different, there is a good chance that for every seat a Republican flipped last night, a Democrat will flip it back in 2016. Basically, the GOP has two years to pull off a miracle or people's rallying for change will actually put the Democrats in great shape for having serious control.
