Kendra Wilkinson was photographed in tears shortly after husband Hank Baskett’s highly-favored Indianapolis Colts were defeated by the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV on Sunday night. Hugh Hefner’s former “Girl Next Door” watched in horror as her husband fumbled away an on-side kick to begin the second half, swinging momentum to the Saints’ side and ultimately helping the underdogs taste victory.

But the reality mom says it was the snapping cameras of the paparazzi — not watching her man flex his “Loser Muscle” in front of the entire country — that left her with drained tear ducts and rainy mascara as she exited Miami’s Sun Life Stadium last night.

Kendra claims eager photographers were scrambling to get a shot of her newborn son, Hank IV, which left her frightened for the baby’s safety.

“I wasn’t cryin cuz of the damn game it’s cuz the paparazzi have no soul…they wouldn’t leave me n family alone!” Kendra fumed on her Twitter page on Monday. “People like to twist this stuff..we asked them to stop cuz of the baby n they were way too close n they didn’t care at all,” Kendra wrote in a further attempt to explain her emotional outburst. “Not sayin im tryin to be private but there should be some law on how close they get to your n your child.”

Alice Tan Ridley, mother of Academy Award-nominated Precious star Gabourey Sidibe, has been singing her heart out in subway stations around New York City three days a week for 18 years!

A R&B/Gospel fixture in the Big Apple, Ridley worked as a nursery-school teacher and a Department of Education teacher’s aide before relocating her act to Manhattan’s train stations — she also croons in Penn Station and 14th Street/Union Square. Although most people would see her daughter as the one with the more glamorous gig, Alice refuses to accept handouts from her kid.

While Gabourey, 26, could be well on her way to a life of a big spending in Hollywood, Ridley — a proud Harlem native — says she’s happy to continue hitting the high notes for straphangers.

“My name is not on Gabby’s paycheck,” Alice explained to The New York Post on Monday. “For a while, I was teaching and doing the singing, burning the candle at both ends to support my family…” Now the songstress says she makes enough money each day to “pay the bills and feed the kids.”

Break out your gas masks, Ashton Kutcher is taking social networking to the next level.

In this digital short from Ashton’s weekend stint as host of Saturday Night Live, the actor creates a Twitter-type initiative to give fans the sound and smell of his own gas. The skit also features rockers Them Crooked Vultures and a very disapproving Questlove from The Roots.

Heroes, villians, scorpions and a Kraken

Five excellent new posters for Clash Of The Titans have arrived online, and they expand into high-res goodness for your viewing pleasure (and your computer’s agony),courtesy of UGO.

Yes, you can get a nice, close-up look at the likes of Sam Worthington’s Perseus, Gemma Arteton’s Io, Liam Neeson’s Zeus and some of the monsters, including The Scorpioch and the foul-looking Stygian Witches.

With one or two – especially the witches – looking like something out of Guillermo del Toro’s worst nightmares (this is a compliment, by the way), it shows that Warners is largely letting the spectacle do the selling, knowing that it’s the battles with the beasts that we’ll all be lining up to see.





Ralph Fiennes as Hades. Liam Neezon as Zeus.

On husband Cash Warren
“We’re similar in some ways and opposites in others. We’re similar in social situations - we’re both open. But he’s not crazy about movies and I am. He doesn’t like cooking and I do. He loves sport and I don’t. Well, I do but I’d rather not watch it for 12 hours a day - then watch the highlights at the end!”

On Equality in Hollywood
“I believe there’s going to be more equality, and if women take on the attitude of lifting each other up instead of being competitive with each other, it’ll be better for all of us. There are amazing actresses - Zoe Saldana, Drew Barrymore, Julia Roberts, Jessica Biel, Eva Mendes - so I’m all about supporting each other to succeed. A lot of women are so concerned with society telling us that we need to emulate this persona - like, if you’re a mum you act like this, and if you-re the girl next door you have to act like that. I was focused on making money and trying to stay relevant. I never bucked the system. But now I feel I can have more control and I want to play women who are strong and independant, who are completely flawed and have problems but that’s OK.”

On working with Lindsay Lohan
“Yeah, and my husband may do a TV show with her - ironically, about the ridiculousness of tabloids. Lindsay’s had to deal with this for so long. Everyone has to live their life, and that’s what people forget when you’re in this business. Lindsay’s really nice. We hung out and chat for hours about girl stuff.”

She’s one of Hollywood’s most iconic small screen vixens, but this spring, 76-year-old actress Joan Collins is trading acting for modeling as the face of jewelry designer Alexis Bittar’s poster campaign.

"Alexis Bittar is my favourite costume jewelry designer," says Collins. "His whimsical designs suit my personality effortlessly. I always feel glamorous and sexy whenever I adorn myself in his creations."

Launching to coincide with fashion week, the ads will loom large on billboards across New York City.




Joan Collins will be returning to the silver screen in a delicious, dark independent movie entitled "Fetish," filming this week in New York City.

Joan accepted the role recognizing that the wave of the future is entrusting your career outside of the studio system with maverick filmmakers and accepting great roles where you can find them.

The screenplay for "Fetish" was written by Charles Casillo, who is the author of the novels "The Fame Game" and "The Marilyn Diaries."

The story revolves around an iconic actress on the skids, making a play for a comeback with a late night talk show host.

In an interview with Liz Smith, Joan has described the project as "Twilight Zone" meets "Sunset Boulevard" meets "David Letterman."

Back when she first came to Hollywood, Jackie Collins arrived at the Chateau Marmont to stay with her actress sister, Joan. Little did she know she’d also be seeing a lot of Warren Beatty, who had a tiny room on the hotel’s top floor.

“Joan told me, ‘You’re sleeping in Warren’s room, Warren is sleeping with me,” Jackie tells us. “So I had to swap beds with him every night on the sly. I never slept with him myself.

But every morning he would borrow my sun reflector. Being English I loved the sun, and Warren being an actor, he loved to look tan. I’d have to fight to get it back.” Does Jackie think Warren is up to his old tricks now that’s married to Annette Bening? “Warren has fallen into family life. He realizes that it’s time to zip it up. And he has.”

P.S.: Jackie admits borrowing from the life of a lesser Lothario, Eliot Spitzer, for her 27th book, “Poor Little Bitch Girl,” out Feb. 9. “I was obsessed with that story. We seem to forgive cheating men, but we never forgive cheating women.”

NBC will broadcast the highly anticipated baby episode of “The Office” as a special one-hour show on Thursday, March 4 (9-10 p.m. ET) rather than as two separate half-hour episodes over two weeks as previously announced. 

In the special hour-long episode of “The Office” titled “The Delivery Part 1 and 2,” Pam’s (Jenna Fischer) contractions begin but she and Jim (John Krasinski) are determined to wait it out as long as possible so they can have more time at the hospital. Meanwhile the rest of the office tries to distract Pam from the pain with food and entertainment.

In the second half hour, Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell) anxiously waits for Pam and Jim’s baby to be born. Back at the office, Erin (Ellie Kemper) makes Andy (Ed Helms) jealous when she has lunch with Kevin (Brian Baumgartner)

Jones: 'McFly album has different sound'
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
McFly star Danny Jones has revealed that the band's new album is influenced by Prince and Michael Jackson.

Jones, who was voted off Popstar To Operastar last night, told the Daily Star that the album is "killer".

"We've got the material and are building up the McFly massacre," he said. "The album's an absolute killer. It's got a Prince and Michael Jackson influence."

Jones added that the group are working with Taio Cruz and American producer Dallas Austin on the record.


"Taio's a really cool guy," Jones explained. "We've written tracks with him and we're now trying to get him to produce one.

"It was awesome working with Dallas as he's a bit of a party boy - he thinks he's our fifth member. He's coming over to the UK to produce four or five of our songs."

McFly are reportedly in talks to return to their former record label Universal.

Get ready to see a lot less of Snooki’s poof.

MTV is demanding that the cast of its smash series Jersey Shore put the kibosh on its bustling schedule of personal appearances. That means no more accepting money and/or hair gel and tanning lotion to show up at a clubs, parties, Bar Mitzvahs, or the local Tastee Freeze. Since finding fame on the trashy reality smash, series stars like The Situation, J-WOWW, Vinny, and Pauly D have been pulling in up to $7,500 a night making appearances at venues across the country. And they’re not just being asked to show up at clubs and parties, either. Last week, the gang’s manager, Michael Schweiger, revealed that one fan offered $50,000 to have Pauly D walk her down the aisle at her wedding.

Offers like that are bad for business, says MTV. And network execs are banging the gavel.

Under the terms of a new contract — which reportedly pays each cast member approximately $180,000 for Season 2 of Jersey Shore — cast members are now only permitted to make two appearances per week, or face fines from MTV, The New York Post’s Page Six Column said Tuesday. This could be prove a problem for Schweiger, who claims the cast is already booked through May!
