| Michelle Williams: We’re Too Busy for a Destiny’s Child Reunion at the Super Bowl Posted: 25 Jan 2013 10:55 AM PST        What a tease! Even with a leaked Super Bowl set list, Michelle Williams isn't confirming anything related to a Destiny's Child performance during next Sunday's halftime show. "Unfortunately, I honestly can't say," the 32-year-old singer told MTV News on Thursday. "Just thinking about it gives me a headache. It seems quite impossible because of our own individual schedules." "My opening night for Fela! is January 29. I've been in rehearsals for that, so I haven't had time to think about learning anything else. But who knows? Maybe sometime in the future, five or 10 years from now, we'll see." Five or 10 years? Or just another comment to pull on Destiny's Child fans' heartstrings?
What Williams did dish on was how wonderful it was for her to reunite with Beyonce and Kelly Rowland in the studio. Nearly two weeks ago, Destiny's Child released "Nuclear," the group's first new material in eight years. "It was a bunch of fun. It was just picking up right where we left off," Williams told MTV. As previously announced, DC3 will release a 14-track compilation album that will include the group's best loved hits like "Cater 2 U," "Say My Name" and "Emotions." The album, out Jan. 29, will also feature "Nuclear." "We really did it for the fans," Williams said of the new material. But once again, mum's the word on whether or not there are any more new singles up their sleeves. "We're not promising anything, but we just wanted to say, 'Hey, we still got it,' and we just wanted to give fans something just to say thank you and that we really love you. Because without you, we wouldn't be what we are. We wouldn't be able to do it without the fans." Super Bowl 47 is on Feb. 3. Do you think Michelle Williams is telling the truth? Do you think Destiny's Child will perform at the Super Bowl? Weigh in below. |
| ‘Parker’: Do Critics Think Jason Statham’s New Action Movie Kicks Ass? Posted: 25 Jan 2013 10:53 AM PST  Like most action heroes, Jason Statham is virtually invincible — especially when it comes to critics. From The Transporter to The Expendables 2, Statham's core fan base consistently shows up to support their favorite owner of the best '80s cocaine beard ever. But if reviews for this weekend's Parker are any indication, Statham fans will find their loyalty fiercely tested.
Parker, directed by Taylor Hackford (Ray), casts Statham as the titular character – a double-crossed thief looking to get even. Jennifer Lopez co-stars as a corrupt real estate agent who becomes Parker's unlikely ally. The film is based on a character from a series of popular pulp crime novels by Donald P. Westlake, and judging by the critics, audiences would be better served by picking up the book than heading to the theater. Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News "[Parker's] script, based on Westlake's "Flashfire," is pasted together with perfectly timed coincidences and miraculous recoveries. Nearly every choice, from the cheesy score to the jittery camerawork, suggests minimal ambitions. J.Lo's role… would appear so demeaning even an unknown starlet might pass. (The memory of her fine performance in the infinitely superior Out of Sight hovers over this movie like an angry ghost.)" Alonso Duralde, The Wrap "If you've ever wanted to see the camel that's the result of that proverbial horse-building committee, check out Parker. If [the film] just focused on Parker and his bloody mission of vengeance, they might have wound up with an unspectacular but still exciting action movie; Statham, after all, does this sort of thing about as well as anyone on the big screen this decade." Christy Lemire, Associated Press"Statham is stepping into a well-known persona. But he’s not exactly pushing himself outside his comfort zone; he’s on auto-pilot here, despite the obvious physical demands of the part." Chris Bumbray, JoBlo.com “The menacing Statham seems ideal in a role previously played by actors like Lee Marvin and Mel Gibson, with Taylor Hackford, the director of Ray, behind the camera, this should have been a damn solid film. Instead, Parker takes its place as probably the worst Statham vehicle since his Jet Li team-up movie, War.” Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter “The picture is far from great, but it’s a serviceable B-movie with some A-list talent on a slumming expedition. Hackford’s direction is uneven… The script by John J. McLaughlin doesn't have enough invention. There are a few neat plot twists, but more complications and surprises would have helped to sustain this two-hour movie.” Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal “The essence of this grindingly violent movie can be summed up by what Parker says of his handgun to a terrified clerk at a check-cashing service: “It’s small, but it hurts.” Back in 1998, Ms. Lopez spent a lot of screen time… as a U.S. marshal in Out of Sight, which seemed phenomenally smart and funny at the time, and remains the gold standard for modern crime capers. Parker sets a tin standard for crime thrillers.” Do you plan to see Parker this weekend? Watch Celebuzz‘ interview with J.Lo for Parker, then weigh in below in the comments. |
| Speed Dating: Did Taylor Swift Find a New Guy…Already? (EXCLUSIVE) Posted: 25 Jan 2013 12:53 PM PST        Brace yourselves: rumor has it that Taylor Swift has moved on to a new man. Since she split with Harry Styles earlier this month, reports have swirled that the country crooner has started a romance with another British singer, Ed Sheeran, whom she collaborated with on the single “Everything Has Changed.” Fanning the flames of the rumors: Swift was clearly thinking about Sheeran on Wednesday when she gushed about him on Twitter. “Quick photo shoot in London and now we’re in Madrid,” she wrote. “BFF status to @edsheeran for hooking up my friends with tickets to his nashville show!!” But a good friend of Sheeran tells Celebuzz exclusively that everything isn’t quite as it seems.
“It’s all nonsense,” said celebrity tattoo artist Kevin Paul, who has inked both Sheeran, 21, and Styles, 18. "To be honest, they thought Ed and Taylor were together before she was with Harry, because I tattooed “RED” on Ed during his last tour in the U.K. for Taylor’s album,” he said. “It’s part of his life. It’s not for her. It’s because he is on the album, but the press really saw it as [being] for her.” Regardless, Paul insists “I Knew You Were Trouble” songstress, 23, and Sheeran are just “really close and really good friends” with a “brother/sister relationship.” The subject of Swift and Sheeran isn’t the only one Paul was willing to broach. He also answered the question, Will Swift and Styles get back together…like, ever?“No,” Paul said, despite the fact that Swift was spotted in London on Monday. He also insisted the two were doomed from the start. "One’s a British pop star; one's an American pop star,” he said. “They've both got their own tours. They're both doing a lot of traveling. The reality is that having a relationship in that situation is just not going to happen really. It’s merely impossible to have a relationship in that type of situation.” So what’s up with Paul besides lots of ink? Turns out, plenty. He may be joining Swift and Sheeran on tour in March depending on his schedule. Plus he’s becoming quite a celeb himself — he may even nab a spot on an upcoming season of Big Brother.Launch the gallery above to see Swift’s recent trip to London, and watch the video below to hear more about the rumors. Then tell us: Who do you think is Taylor’s next man? |
| HBO Officially Renews ‘Girls’ for Season 3 Posted: 25 Jan 2013 12:53 PM PST  Lena Dunham has probably forced HBO's hand. Earlier this week, the Golden Globe-winning star said on Alec Baldwin's podcast that Season 3 is already set for production. Then on Friday, HBO announced a renewal on for a 12-episode third season. Anticlimactic, I know. But, as these announcements tend to go – it arrives in time to remind us to tune in on Sunday. [HBO] Ratings: Say what you want about American Idol's flagging audience, it still wins both Wednesday and Thursday nights for FOX in both total viewers and the all-important advertiser-coveted 18 to 49-year-old audience. And now, there's one more reason to keep it around. Thursday's episode was down 9 percent from last week's episode, but it helped attract 6.9 million viewers to Glee's winter return and a 35 percent increase in the key demo. [EW]

| So Many Movie Stars: 6 of the Best Ensemble Comedies on Celluloid (PHOTOS) Posted: 24 Jan 2013 08:12 PM PST        With Movie 43 opening this weekend, a seldom-explored subgenre returns to rear its ugly head(s): the raunchy, star-studded comedy is finally back on screens. Since the 1960s, Hollywood has assembled top-notch talent en masse in order to wring laughs not only out of the quality of those cast, but the sheer quantity of people on screen, trying to be funny. Unfortunately, audiences have recently been left with eye-rolling efforts at the ensemble mash-up – films like Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve offered god-awful scripts with lackluster characters for even their most formidable talents, wrapped up in nice, neat bows and saccharine-sweet payoffs.
But the sharp edged, sketch-inspired vibe of Movie 43 brings to mind not just classic comedies like Kentucky Fried Movie, which offer a cavalcade of actors in series of comedy sketches, but a few others from film history that we thought might be worth mentioning. Watch the trailer for Movie 43, and then let us know in the comments below — what are your favorite ensemble comedies? And which great ones did we forget? |
| Will the Young Adult Novel ‘Divergent’ Be a ‘Titanic’ Success? Posted: 25 Jan 2013 10:45 AM PST  Hollywood's latest attempt to find a Twilight-level success just scored a major casting coup. Oscar-winner Kate Winslet is working on a deal now to star in the adaptation of YA novel Divergent. Winslet will join The Descendants' Shailene Woodley in the film, which centers on Woodley's character, a teenager forced to compete in a ritual that divides her family. No word yet on who the Titanic star will play in the March 21, 2014 release. [Variety] Speaking of Twilight, Breaking Dawn – Part 2 actress Dakota Fanning is set to star in the upcoming Errol Flynn biopic, The Last of Robin Hood.
Deadline reported on Thursday that Fanning will play Beverly Aadland, Flynn's teenage girlfriend, who stayed at the late actor's bedside during his final years. Kevin Kline will play Flynn in the movie, which is ramping up for a February 2013 start date. [Deadline] While nothing can beat Thursday's news of J.J. Abrams directing the next Star Wars movie, another popular fanboy property is also making waves. According to reports, Warner Bros. superhero team-up movie, Justice League, will feature the following line-up of DC characters: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern. Warners is keeping story details under lock and key, but is expected to settle on a director soon. [Latino Review]Robert Downey, Jr. is apparently out of director Paul Thomas Anderson's next film, and Joaquin Phoenix is in. The director and star of The Master will reteam for Inherent Vice, Anderson's adaptation of the Thomas Pynchon novel. Anderson's script, like the book, centers on a pot-smoking detective (Phoenix) struggling to solve a kidnapping in 1970 Los Angeles. The last time the two worked together, Phoenix scored an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for The Master. We can't wait to see what will happen this time around. [The Hollywood Reporter] That Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon sequel no one has really talked about appears to be finally happening. The Weinstein Company is aiming for a May start date on the sequel to Ang Lee's Oscar-winning 2000 film, which will be based on the same book series that gave us Dragon. Young Guns writer John Fusco wrote the script, and Ronny Yu (The Bride of Chucky) is circling the director's chair. (And that's how you kill both this movie and our excitement for it.) [Deadline] Watch the trailer for the upcoming YA adaptation Beautiful Creatures, and then let us know: Is Winslet a good choice for Divergent? Sound off in the comments below. |
| ‘Hit’-Bound: Britney Enlists New Producer Posted: 25 Jan 2013 10:42 AM PST  Britney Spears is relying on a little help from her friends. Namely, one called Hit Boy. The singer is bringing the producer on board for her new album, and he’s promising to add a little hip-hop swagger to her pop mix. “I’m bringing my world to her world, so I’m infusing what I do in hip-hop and bringing pop elements to it,” Hit Boy told MTV News. “So it’s just going to be a global sound.”
And Hit Boy is excited to prove himself on Britney’s album and show the world that he’s got the pop chops to hack it with the star. While most of his high-profile collaborations have been providing beats in the urban music scene, namely on Kanye West and Jay-Z’s Grammy-nominated “N*ggas in Paris,” he’s eager to show a softer side on Britney’s tracks. “I mean Britney, I mean she’s amazing. She’s been around for years and she’s gonna to continue to do her thing,” Hit Boy said. “I wanted to just show people that I’m not just a hip-hop producer, that I’m not just an urban world [and] that I’m just a music maker in general. Britney had already called on powerhouse producer and and frequent-collaborator will.i.am to help on some tracks, which makes this album sure to be a chart-topper.It will be the pop princess’s first album since 2011′s Femme Fatale, as she’s been busy making a name for herself on TV as a judge on a little show called The X Factor. But she’s left the show to pursue her music again full-time — and you know what that means: A Britney tour! How can we possibly wait? Are you excited for Britney to return to her music roots? Are you glad that she’ll be heading in a hip hop direction with Hit Boy? Sound off below! |

| Deja New! If Kate Can Do It, So Can You Posted: 25 Jan 2013 01:06 PM PST  They may have the hottest designers clamoring to dress them, free clothes arriving at their doorsteps daily, and ample clothing budgets to buy all the designer duds they aren’t gifted — but that doesn’t mean they won’t be caught dead wearing the same thing twice. Quite the contrary. Rather than a fashion faux pas, fashion repeats — a dress/bag/sweater/pair of boots/insert any clothing item (notice we said item, not outfits) worn on more than one occasion — is what helps to distinguish the stars with real style from the rest of Hollywood’s well-styled celebs. Sure, they’re incorporating new pieces into their wardrobes all the time, but these women also know how to mix and match what’s already in their closet to create fresh looks. Rather than being slaves to each season’s trends, true style stars Alexa Chung, Kate Middleton, Miranda Kerr, Kim Kardashian and Jessica Biel adapt the latest looks to fit their personal style by pairing them with the staples already in their closet. Their genius styling tricks, which allow these trendsetters to repeat pieces in non-obvious ways, is why we love stalking their style.
A dress as a blouse? Why not? Navy and black? How chic! Peplums and midi skirts? It can work! Leather skinnies with … everything? Instant edge. Since most of us don’t have the luxury of not repeating the same pieces over and over again, creative mixing and matching is the key to avoiding stale style. Want to double your wardrobe without buying a thing? Steal these genius styling tricks used by Hollywood’s most notorious fashion repeat offenders. How do you remix your wardrobe? Share your tips and pics below. Catch up on the latest celebrity style…. |

| Weekend Movie Preview — Five Flicks in Five Clicks Posted: 24 Jan 2013 08:10 PM PST       Thanks to not just recent awards ceremonies but nominations for ones that are upcoming, movies like Zero Dark Thirty and Silver Linings Playbook have experienced an impressive bounce in their box office revenue.

| Sweet Revenge: Matt Damon Overthrows Kimmel (VIDEO) Posted: 25 Jan 2013 07:36 AM PST  After years of being “bumped” from Jimmy Kimmel Live! at the end of each show, Matt Damon has finally gotten even. Not only did he kidnap Jimmy Kimmel — gagging him with a tie and duct-taping him to a chair — but the Oscar-winning actor completely took over the host’s late-night ABC talker on Thursday night. “There’s a new host in town and his initials are M.D.,” Damon said in the opening monologue of the show, which he renamed Jimmy Kimmel Sucks. “That’s right, the doctor is in…. I've been waiting for this moment for a long, long time. This is like the time I lost my virginity, except this is going to last way longer than one second." And he brought along a slew of A-listers to help him in the hijacking, which follows a long-running faux feud between Damon and Kimmel.Jennifer Lopez, Sally Field, Robert De Niro, Don Cheadle, John Krasinski and Oprah Winfrey all appeared in a video applauding Damon for dethroning Kimmel for the evening. Others played a part in the actor’s Ap on stage: Ben Affleck served as a cue-card boy; Sheryl Crow replaced the in-studio band leader; Andy Garcia sat in as his sidekick; and Robin Williams helped him bring his monologue to a close. As for guests, Nicole Kidman, Gary Oldman, Amy Adams, Reese Witherspoon and Demi Moore all crammed in on the talker’s couch, before Demon brought out his final guest solo, Kimmel’s ex-girlfriend Sarah Silverman. And all along, a tied-up Kimmel was banished to the back of the stage. Damon’s takeover comes at a prime time in terms of publicity, as the show moved this month into the same timeslot as CBS’ David Letterman and NBC’s Jay Leno. The bad blood between Damon and Kimmel dates back to the the third season of the talk show host’s ABC show, when he made a tradition of saying, "Apologies to Matt Damon, but we ran out of time," at the end of each episode, despite the actor never being booked to appear.Then when Damon finally sat down on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, he cursed out the host before storming off stage. And in 2008, Damon teamed up with Kimmel's then-girlfriend Silverman in a YouTube clip, in which she revealed to Kimmel: "I'm f***ing Matt Damon." But as recently as November, Kimmel had no plans of sitting down with the A-list actor anytime soon. "Matt Damon is unwelcome on my show," Kimmel told Celebuzz. "We have standards and he does not meet them."

| How Does Manti Te’o Stack Up? We Examine 20 Big Sport Scandals Posted: 25 Jan 2013 12:54 PM PST        It’s been a heavy year already for the world of sports, as two major scandals have dominated headlines and turned fan favorites into disgraced public figures. The first came in mid-January, when the public discovered that Manti Te’o's heartbreaking story, in which the Notre Dame linebacker’s girlfriend supposedly died of leukemia in September, turned out to be a big ol’ hoax. Even worse, he had never even met the girl, and covered it up briefly until Deadspin exposed the story on Jan. 16. Shortly after, cyclist Lance Armstrong finally confessed to using performance-enhancing drugs during all seven of his Tour-de-France victories, all of which he was stripped of late last year. Unfortunately, scandals are more common than not in the game of sports. In fact, some of them date all the way back to 1919, when members of the Chicago White Sox gambled away the World Series, all to win some extra cash. Where do these latest scandals compare to other epic sporting scandals like the O.J. Simpson murder trial and the fallout between figure skaters Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding on the the road to the 1994 Winter Olympics? Celebuzz has pulled together 20 of the biggest scandals in sports. Check them out in the gallery, above, then share your thoughts in the comments. |
| 1D’s Louis Gets Hands-On, and His Girlfriend Likes It (PHOTOS) Posted: 25 Jan 2013 12:54 PM PST       Louis Tomlinson may get attention and affections from millions of Directioners across the globe, but he’s only got eyes for one special girl in his life. The One Direction singer proved he’s a doting boyfriend as he arrived hand-in-hand with girlfriend Eleanor Calder at Labrinth’s pre-Brits party at Mosaic restaurant Thursday night in London. Trying to maintain a low-key profile, the couple stayed close as they made their way inside the War Child charity event, where Tomlinson’s 1D bandmate Liam Payne was also in attendance. Tomlinson kept things casual in a pair of black skinny jeans, matching black shirt, a denim jacket and white Converse sneakers. As for his lady love, she kept it cool in a printed tee, black skirt and oxford shoes. The pair met up with Payne and fellow British pop star Conor Maynard during the posh soiree, which hosted some of the U.K.’s biggest names in music.Tomlinson and Calder first met in summer 2011 after being introduced by a mutual connection: Harry Styles. The duo recently celebrated their one-year anniversary in November. “Happy 1 year! I love yoouuu xx.” Louis tweeted, “What a great year together @EleanorJCalder :)” One Direction officially kick-off their Take Me Home tour in February. |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2013 07:32 PM PST  It was a long time in the wilderness before Jeremy Renner's career took off. Guest starring on series TV like The Net, followed by movies like zombie thriller 28 Weeks Later, Renner made his break in the sleeper hit The Hurt Locker, and later, The Town, both of which garnered him Oscar nods. "For most of my career I was in movies where nobody saw them or had the opportunity," Renner told reporters. "It's really great because you put in this much hard work on any movie – they're not easy, y'know.” “So it's a really, really wonderful feeling to have people be with you and see all the hard work you've put into them." Coming soon are dramatic roles in James Gray's Lowlife and David O. Russell's planned Abscam movie, about a congressional corruption scandal. But it's not just prestige films Renner has been chasing in recent years. He also has The Avengers 2, Mission: Impossible 4 (and possibly 5) and this week, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. A twist on the classic fairytale, the brother and sister duo have grown up to form a team bent on eradicating villages of witches, ogres and other paranormal undesirables. Joining Renner is Gemma Atherton as Gretel, and Famke Janssen as uber-witch, Muriel, who employs all her supernatural strengths against their crossbows, knuckle-dusters and six shooters. "She's our number one villain," Renner said of Janssen, who played a memorable ass kicker as Jean Grey/ Phoenix in X-Men and Bond girl Xenia Onatopp in Goldeneye. "It's a bit more western in its sort of fighting tactics and that sort of thing." A graduate of San Francisco's American Conservatory Theater, Renner first gained attention for his portrayal of serial killer Jeffery Dahmer in 2002's Dahmer, but has since made a name for himself in action movies. "I like the idea of being challenged physically, for sure, but there's got to be some emotional complexities to the character as well," he explained. "But yeah, there seems to be a through-line to the last handful of movies that are physical but I don't necessarily look for a job that's physical." Renner loves actions scenes just as much as the next guy, but the most important elements to any project are director, costar and script. A great director and cast have little chance of salvaging a mediocre screenplay. And a great script in the wrong hands can make a terrible movie. And if by chance a compelling script lands in the hands of a great director, an egocentric costar can easily compound the difficulties on an arduous shoot. "It takes it all to have a chance to make a good movie. To make something people want to see, something compelling, thoughtful, it takes something real," he said. "But the main thing to me is yes, the director, the story, the characters, it's very important – then actors I can learn from. It's all really important." Watch the trailer for Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters below, and then let us know in the comments section: what do you think of Renner as a movie star? Is he cut out to join Hollywood’s A-list? |
| Kim Speaks Out About Booze Ordeal: ‘Everything Was a Challenge’ Posted: 24 Jan 2013 07:31 PM PST  After a rough couple of years, which included battles with alcohol and a stint in treatment, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards says she’s focusing on the positive things in 2013. In fact, she tells Celebuzz she’s now feeling “great.” “This last year I’ve just really been focusing on sobriety and it’s been great. I would never want to lose the way I feel today. This is so amazing,” Richards — who entered rehab in 2011 — said in our exclusive video interview, above. Getting to that point, however, was a struggle, especially when she first left treatment in 2012. “There’s this thing they tell you that when you first get sober,” she said. “There are people who experience the ‘pink cloud.’ They come home and they’re like, everything’s great! I did not have the pink cloud. I came home and everything was a challenge for me.” “I just thought everything was going to be the way I wanted it [to be], and I thought it was all going to be this way, because I was back. I was home,” she said. “And it just wasn’t like that.” On the road to recovery, Richards says she faced struggles with her kids, as well as having to deal with the deaths of her uncle and dog of 17 years. “Nothing was glorious and perfect as I thought it was going to be. I had a lot of work to do, and a lot of challenges.” Now, though, Richards says she’s finally experienced her own version of the pink cloud, albeit in a different way. “I feel like I’m almost glad I didn’t have that pink cloud [right away], because this year’s been a challenge; a lot of work. I feel like now, I woke up on 2013, and there’s my pink cloud. It’s there, and I worked really hard for it. It’s not a pink cloud; it’s not this, like, big pink poof. It’s more like, I worked for it, here it is, it’s come, and it’s like, “Ahh! It’s here!”Meanwhile, Richards also had to face a number of issues with her sister and co-star, Kyle, which has unfolded throughout the series. In a recent episode, she finally pulled Kyle aside to apologize for everything that has gone down between them over the years. To hear her thoughts on that conversation, watch the video, below.

| Now This is What a Movie Star Should Dress Like Posted: 24 Jan 2013 08:11 PM PST        Jennifer Lopez has been making the promotional rounds in New York City for her latest movie, Parker — and giving us serious outfit envy along the way. Even a cold freeze hasn’t stopped the actress from pulling out all the style stops during her Manhattan media blitz. Looking every bit the movie star, Lopez has braved the bitter cold in an array of glam outerwear and luxe extras that are guaranteed to inspire you to step-up your cold-weather style. To help you get through the latest cold-freeze in style, we’re breaking down Lopez’ fashionable formula for fighting frigid temps.
Sticking to mostly monochromatic ensembles, it’s the eye-catching extras that have made all the difference.

But you’ll be as equally as inspired by what the stylish star has been wearing underneath her chic cold-weather armor. So if you’re as in need of a winter wardrobe pick-me-up as we are, look no further than J. Lo’s posh Parker promo looks to get you through the brutal cold in style.

| Lip Service: Beyonce Still Silent After Lip-Syncing Scandal Posted: 25 Jan 2013 12:54 PM PST  Bridget Jones ate ice cream during her moment of need. Beyonce Knowles does crawfish. The embattled 31-year-old singer, who will be performing during halftime at the Super Bowl next month, bobbed up after the supposed-so-scandalous president's inauguration for dinner with husband, Jay-Z. The pair got the First Family treatment in New Orleans at Mother's on Monday night; the restaurant has confirmed security was just as tight as the moment President Barack Obama was sworn in at his second inauguration — and where Beyoncé lip-synced when she sang the national anthem."They came in with their security people,” a rep for the restaurant, Charles Pizzo, told Celebuzz. “A lot of people recognized them so we put them in a private part so they could eat in peace. We had a policeman stationed at the door so the area was off limits." What was on the menu? Cajun cooking, of course.
"They ordered two bowls of crawfish e'touffee," Pizzo added. "Beyonce had fried catfish and Jay-Z had the calamari. They also shared some sides of potato salad, grits and French fries. It's comfort food." The new mom, who's in town to rehearse for her big Super Bowl debut, clearly deserved the “comfort” slip-up, especially after photos of the svelte superstar on the cover of the February GQ leaked on Instagram.But if this southern feast wasn't enough, the couple left with their just desserts. "They took home a slice of sweet potato pie and an order of bread pudding with brandy sauce,” Pizzo said of the famous pair, who posted their sweet satisfaction for the eatery. The tip? All Pizzo would tell us was that the couple was “extremely good.” |
| This Is Not Brooklyn’s Finest, Because… It’s In Manhattan Posted: 25 Jan 2013 12:54 PM PST        This hot property will be nabbed in a New York minute. Training Day star Ethan Hawke has just listed his 3,500-square-foot Manhattan townhouse for $6.25 million dollars — and you can take a peek inside, here. The colorful home, that’s comprised of two units combined, features six bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. The home that Hawke shares with his current wife Ryan and two children is a four-floor masterpiece in the heart of New York’s art gallery district, Chelsea. The apartment has a private entrance, wood burning fireplace, walk-in closets and something that’s as rare as it gets in the Big Apple: a private terrance and garden. The home isn’t for a homeowner looking for minimalist décor. Hawke gave his home bold and bright pops of color with cobalt, tomato red, and marigold yellow bedrooms.
