• Divorce Rumors Surround Kerry Washington and Nnamdi Asomugha as They're Rarely Together in Spite of Having a New Daughter

    Kerry Washington's marriage to Nnamdi Asomugha, a former American football player on three NFL teams, has always been a little bit different. Even the most private of celebrity couples are usually spotted on the red carpet together occasionally, but not these two. Even during awards season last year, when Washington's hit show "Scandal" was in contention, Asomugha was never with her for support. When Washington celebrated her birthday last winter, her husband was on the opposite coast for a Super Bowl party. The birth of baby Isabelle last May has not made the couple closer either, it seems, and now many are wondering if a split could be near.In the past, Washington made the mistake of allowing her personal life to read like an open book and it burned her, so it makes sense she would now fiercely guard her family's privacy. Back in the October 2013 issue of "Glamour," Washington defended her right to silence, saying:"I'm walking around in the world with my ring. And when people say congratulations, I say thank you. But I'm going to continue to not talk about it and just let it unfold."

  • The Ebola Fighters Are 'Time' Magazine's 'Person of the Year'

    Just yesterday we were wondering if "Time" magazine would make sense out of its unusual short list of contenders for its 2014 Person of the Year, and thankfully its end game is rooted in logic. For a second there it looked like Vladimir Putin, with his ill-prepared Sochi Olympic Games and war with Ukraine actually had a chance at the title. Thankfully, "Time" announced this morning that the Ebola fighters have been named the 2014 Person of the Year.Since late August, the U.S. has panicked as some of our own stricken caregivers, such as Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantly in Liberia, have been transported back home to the States, where their hopes of survival are better. Nurses like Nina Pham and Amber Vinson were not properly trained to care for Ebola patients and ended up with the illness themselves. Adding insult to injury, the CDC went so far as to try to blame them for getting sick. The irony is that each caregiver has thought nothing of going back to work after their own recovery. When asked if they would care for another Ebola patient, the response has immediately been yes.

  • Jennifer Aniston Has Been Nominated for a SAG Award for Her Role in 'Cake'

    It looks like all that buzz surrounding Jennifer Aniston's performance in "Cake" is not for nothing because this morning the actress found herself on the short list of Outstanding Lead Actress contenders for the SAG Awards. It is a huge deal for Aniston just to be nominated after years of floundering in the rom-com zone. Now her name is being spoken among the likes of Julianne Moore, Reese Witherspoon, Rosamund Pike and Felicity Jones, all fellow SAG nominees this year.This time around Aniston embraced a totally different kind of character and tackled the role of chronic pain sufferer Claire Bennett with a real openness that has won her rave reviews since "Cake" first previewed in early September. In fact, it was the overwhelmingly positive response to it that prompted producers to rush to get it out this year, making it eligible for this current awards cycle rather than risking it getting lost at the beginning of next year's films.No one is likely more surprised by this nomination than Aniston herself. In recent weeks she has gotten a bit giddy just thinking about the fact that people were mentioning that "Cake" could be award-worthy. The actual nomination probably means almost as much as taking home the trophy would for the woman who, at least up until now, has been best known for her role as Rachel Green on "Friends."

  • Kris Jenner Is Furious to Learn that Her Daughter Kendall Is Shopping for a New PR Team to Replace Her!

    Kendall Jenner has been insisting for the last few years that being part of the Kardashian family has actually prevented her from being taken seriously in the modeling world. Jenner has said that instead of it helping her, she has had to work harder to try and distance herself from the reality television mainstays so she could actually work.Kris Jenner has functioned as a "momager" for all of her children, but apparently even that is a situation Jenner has decided needs to change — much to her mother's horror.Sure, Kris may have made a mint off her family's everyday life for the last eight years, but even her model daughter believes she has pimped out and manipulated Kim Kardashian for her own personal gain. Jenner has no intention of becoming her mother's victim and jumping at every possible money-making scheme that exists. According to a report by Radar Online, Jenner has already officially moved out of Kris's home and has begun severing business ties.Jenner realizes that she is going to need a solid PR team behind her if she is going to see her modeling career turn into a lengthy endeavor, and she knows Kris is incapable of making it happen. Instead of looking at the whole picture, Kris likes to swoop in and grab paychecks. Jenner obviously wants to get paid, but she is also looking to have some longevity in the business.

  • A Petition Has Been Filed by National Bar Association to Strip Darren Wilson of His Police Badge in Missouri

    About a week after learning that he would not be indicted for the Aug. 9 shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, Darren Wilson ironed out the details and resigned from the Ferguson Police Department. Wilson agreed with the department that it is in everyone's best interest that he not serve and protect in Ferguson again.His being on the streets would only put him as well as other officers at risk. While it seems unlikely that Wilson will patrol anywhere again, he has still retained his badge — and that is something the National Bar Association is not happy about.The country's oldest and largest group of African-American attorneys and judges have filed a nine-page petition requesting that Wilson be completely stripped of his badge. The official petition is requesting that the Missouri Department of Public Safety revoke Wilson's badge. While under oath, Wilson insisted that during his altercation with Brown he had feared for his life, but some naysayers believe the officer got away with murder.

  • Kate Hudson Dumps Matt Bellamy in Favor of Longtime 'DWTS' Crush Derek Hough

    There have been rumors for about a year now that Kate Hudson's romance with Matt Bellamy had stalled out. Supposedly, after a brief split, the couple decided to patch things up and work on their issues together. Hudson recently said that there were no wedding plans in the works but that didn't seem like a red flag, especially when you consider how much of a free spirit she is. It seemed kind of possible that they were just enjoying the moment, at least until now! It now seems to be confirmed that their engagement has been called off. Not only that, but Hudson has already reportedly moved on with "Dancing With the Stars" pro, Derek Hough.

  • Even Jay Leno Is a Fan of Jimmy Fallon's Revitalized 'Tonight Show'

    In under a year Jimmy Fallon has transformed the art of late-night television. Gone are the days when people chose their show based on the guest-star lineup on any particular evening. Fallon is the entertainment and the reason that people are tuning in to "The Tonight Show" on a regular basis. The guest stars are kind of like icing on the cake. "Entertainment Weekly" got it right in naming Fallon the 2014 Entertainer of the Year, and as it turns out, even Jay Leno agrees.It was rumored at first that NBC was shoving Leno out to make room for Fallon, but there was never any animosity between these two. Instead, Leno took his exit with a shred of grace and now he gets the appeal of Fallon just like all the rest of us.Leno told "EW" in an interview:"I don't watch every night, but I watch and I enjoy — and I enjoy Seth [Meyers], too. Jimmy's a really great mimic. When I saw him do Neil Young, I just thought he was lip-syncing the song. But no — he really captures the nuances really well. It's different. Everybody has their strengths and weaknesses. I could never do a musical parody — it's just not what's in me. You know, I got out at the right time. When you're 40 and you're talking to the 25-year-old supermodel, it's sexy. When you're 64, you're the creepy old guy, you know? At some point, you can't pretend to know all of Jay-Z's music. You can only live in the time you live in."

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Debuts New Online Cooking Show, But Will Anyone Watch?

    Several weeks ago we heard about how Teresa Giudice was rumored to be ironing out the details in order to launch a cooking show once she finishes serving her 15-month prison term for financial crimes. The former star of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" is trying to figure out how to provide for her four daughters later on as well as in the immediate future. One thing is for certain, her shady husband Joe Giudice will likely be of much financial help. It seems, though, that at least for now Bravo has opted to sever ties with the reality star, so she has had to get a bit creative. Glam.com offered her an online cooking show, and Giudice jumped at the chance.Her first episode of "Haute Hostess" is online now and features Giudice making shrimp and pasta from her cookbook "Fabulicious." Throughout her years on "RHONJ," it was always insinuated that Giudice rarely cooks, so peddling her books is just about as fraudulent as everything else she has done to make some fast cash. A few years ago, when Giudice's fan base was huge, the idea of a Web cooking show would have taken off like crazy, but now not so much.There is little doubt that she is hoping that "Haute Hostess" will be an online hit and that it will make Bravo's executives reconsider whether or not to take another chance on her.

  • 'South Park' Holiday Special Trailer: Taylor Swift, Iggy Azalea, Miley Cyrus All Targets for Tomorrow's Season Finale [WATCH]

    The good people behind "South Park" look to have saved their most ruthless episode for last. No one is safe during tomorrow's Dec. 10 season finale. The new trailer for "The Washington Redskins' Go F--k Yourself Holiday Special" features cartoon appearances by Iggy Azalea, U2, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift. The show will also take aim at Al Pacino, Bill Cosby and the recent hologram craze with Kurt Cobain, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley.Like I said, no one is safe.As "Consequence of Sound" notes, this season has been full of special appearances by artists and celebrities who have dominated the news in 2014. Most notably, Randy Marsh revealed that he is actually New Zealand singer Lorde. Even deceased musicians will be dug up, appearing in the show as holograms (social media: #HappyHolograms). The show is bound to be full of laughs with Cartman commentating and Jackson's hologram performing as Peter Pan. Check out the trailer below."South Park" is currently in its 18th season and, by all accounts, the creative partnership of Trey Parker and Matt Stone has yet to lose steam.

  • 'Time' Magazine's Short List for 'Person of the Year' Candidates Is Raising Some Eyebrows

    On Wednesday, Dec. 10, "Time" magazine will announce its 2014 Person of the Year, and after learning who landed on the short list of candidates, we are more than a little confused. Some of the names on the list are not too shocking.There is Tim Cook, who introduced a bunch of new Apple products this year and then decided to come out of the closet, making him the first openly gay CEO of a Fortune 500 company. There is Taylor Swift, who, as a top-selling artist, decided to pull her music from Spotify this past fall because she believes the streaming service is not compensating artists nearly enough.But some of the other contenders are a bit baffling.Like Vladimir Putin, the Russian president who guided his country through hosting the Sochi Olympics in February under subpar conditions. He has also been one of the ringleaders in the ongoing strife between Russia and eastern Ukraine. Then there is NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who has spent the last six months living under a microscope because it seems the majority of even NFL fans believe he purposely set out to cover up several domestic violence cases within the league, including the now-infamous knockout punch by Ray Rice that was caught on surveillance tape and then shown to the world.The Ferguson protesters have also made the list, but wouldn't it have made more sense for the peaceful protesters in New York City's chokehold case to have made it instead? By pointing to Ferguson, sadly the first thing that comes to mind for many people is either the rioting and destruction of local businesses after Darren Wilson was not indicted, or else the video of Michael Brown's grieving and angry stepfather directing the crowd to burn things down.
