• Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Caught Fighting While Promoting 'Unbroken' in Australia

    It's been a really long time since Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie seemed any less than blissfully happy together, hasn't it? Apparently their time spent in Australia last week to promote Jolie's new film Unbroken, ended up being a bit strained, proving that they are just like everyone else. According to a report by Australia Woman's Day, Pitt and Jolie were caught having a blow out on their hotel in Sydney.
  • U.S. Senator John McCain Weighs In on Chuck Hagel's Resignation from President Obama's Cabinet

    When U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced his resignation earlier today, it seemed that few Washington insiders were surprised. He reportedly had been dissatisfied with his job heading up the Pentagon and admitted that this decision was a mutual one made after only two years on the job. It had originally been Hagel's job to help guide our troops home after a 13-year war and to help our military to make as smooth a transition as possible. Hagel did accomplish that, but he seemed to see little hope of being able to do much else under the current administration.President Barack Obama has readily admitted that change is necessary and feels that putting a new person into the official role of Defense secretary might be a good move.U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., spoke earlier today about Hagel's frustration and how that did not mean he was no longer invested in his job, but instead felt that his options for action were extremely limited:
  • Jamie Horowitz Proposed a Plan to Totally Clean House at NBC's 'Today' Before Being Ousted Last Week

    The internal politics and constant discord behind the scenes at NBC's "Today" have become almost as big of a story as anything reported on camera. NBC has spent the last two years scrambling to try and reclaim its former top spot in the morning ratings war. In September, Jamie Horowitz started to observe Today's daily show so that by December new changes could be implemented at his request. A few weeks ago, he gave a five-hour presentation to NBC News head Deborah Furness, and in the end Horowitz was out of a job instead of anyone else.News leaked out recently that Natalie Morales and Willie Geist had been fired by NBC, and while those reports were later discredited, that is exactly part of what Horowitz had in mind. He also wanted Matt Lauer's co-host, Savannah Guthrie, let go to make room for Hoda Kotb instead, and if you are a fan of Al Roker, then you would have been out of luck because Horowitz would have fired him as well.
  • Reporters Like Don Lemon, Matt Lauer Are Fighting for First Exclusive Interview with Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson

    Since shooting Michael Brown Aug. 9, Ferguson, Missouri, Police Officer Darren Wilson has managed to disappear completely off the grid as he waits to find out whether or not an indictment and formal charges will be coming. His is a case that has led to rioting in the St. Louis suburb, and what started as a violent altercation between Wilson and Brown has morphed into a full civil-rights debate. An interview with Wilson would no doubt equal blockbuster ratings, and we are hearing that he has quietly met with a few possible contenders.According to The Huffington Post, several journalists — including Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon and Matt Lauer — have talked to Wilson off the record. These meetings are standard procedure because they help the subject — in this case Wilson — figure out who they feel the most comfortable with. Cooper has already confirmed that Wilson has declined his request for an actual on-camera interview. Lemon confirmed that there was a meeting, but has said little else.
  • Bill Cosby Laughed About Recent Allegations While Performing at a Women's Rape Charity Event in the Bahamas

    Nearly every day for the last two weeks another woman has come out of the shadows to accuse Bill Cosby of everything from groping to full-blown rape. While his attorney is insisting that Cosby is nothing more than a victim of a horrific smear campaign, the industry is definitely fearing otherwise. NBC killed a new sitcom that had been in development and Netflix has shelved Cosby's latest stand-up gig that was filmed for them. At first, it was thought that Cosby's stand-up shows would survive these allegations, but many venues have begun canceling gigs into next year, indicating that the comedian may not come out of this with an active career intact.Late last week, Cosby did do a scheduled show in the Bahamas — and ironically enough the proceeds went to benefit a women's charity. The organization that he came out to support works with rape victims and domestic violence victims and provides counseling for both. No doubt Cosby was glad that this show went on because it made him look supportive of women's issues rather than an alleged abuser.What was appalling was that during this show Cosby found some crocodile tears for the slew of allegations against him and even joked onstage about his current battle in the public eye."Parents are coming and taking their children home, saying to me, 'Bill Cosby, you are an evil man! We will never eat your Jell-O pudding again!'" said Cosby to an audience that thought his jokes were hilarious.
  • Kim Kardashian Reportedly Feels Like Her Marriage to Kanye West Is Just a Business Relationship

    When Kim Kardashian married Kanye West in May there was reportedly a little nugget in their vows about not spending all their free time together talking shop. Unfortunately, just six months later it seems that her biggest fear has come true: Their whole marriage is consumed by business. Supposedly the couple had an agreement in place that meant that Kardashian would actually work less so she could spend more time with West and their daughter, North West. Once he took over as her official manager, though, her schedule actually ended up getting busier instead of lighter.According to a report by Radar Online, the couple has been fighting a lot because their time together is limited, but when it happens West only wants to talk about business. Once again, Kardashian is left feeling like the marriage she agreed to is nothing like what she had hoped for. She has said that her recent "Paper" cover shoot was to show off how confident she is feeling and that it was also kind of a last hurrah before getting pregnant again.
  • LeAnn Rimes Is Still Trying to Convince Everyone That Eddie Cibrian Is Her 'Soulmate'

    LeAnn Rimes has been making the media rounds to promote her new Christmas album, but of course the main topic of discussion always ends up being her marriage to Eddie Cibrian. At some point in time, Rimes may choose to simply make peace with the fact that people really do not like them as a couple and get on with her life, but she is not exactly there yet. Remember their reality show on VH1 last summer? The ratings were horrendous and Rimes and Cibrian seemed to think that mocking the press would be their ticket to getting fans back in their back pockets. Obviously, that was an epic fail.So Rimes is back to her more normal approach of praising her husband and hoping that her fans will forget how she has said that she fears he will eventually cheat on her. Remember, these two first hooked up while married to other people and, for whatever reason, it was an indiscretion that fans never accepted.In an interview with Mail on Sunday, Rimes explained:"I was meant to be with Eddie. Fans felt as though I was their daughter or sister making a big mistake when we got together, because they've grown up with me. But we both acted from our hearts and that's impossible to turn around. Trust me, we both tried. Look, I've said 'I'm sorry' and made amends. Eddie is my soulmate — he and I completely get each other. We're opposites — I want to go shopping; he wants to ride dirt bikes — but we bring out the best in each other. Divorce is not an option for us. Obviously, if something horrible happened, I would have to take care of myself, but I don't see that happening."
  • Ferguson Grand Jury Will Meet Again Monday: Darren Wilson's Indictment Decision Still at Least 24 Hours Away

    Last Friday, it looked like a decision in Ferguson was imminent, but now we know that the grand jury that will determine the fate of Police Officer Darren Wilson will reconvene Monday, Nov. 24, for more deliberations. On Aug. 9, Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown after an altercation between them turned into a life-and-death situation. While waiting to see if Wilson will be indicted, tension is palpable with protestors insisting that this has now become a case revolving around civil rights.A state of emergency has been called in the St. Louis area, and National Guard members are also already in place, leading many to believe that it is pretty obvious that Wilson will not be indicted. But Brown's family was assured a phone call from Ferguson prosecutors once a decision is reached, and they have yet to hear anything either way.
  • Buffalo Residents Urged to Prepare for the Worst As Flooding is Likely Imminent

    It has been a week of unsettling drama for residents of Buffalo and other hard-hit areas of western New York who are contending with up to seven feet of snow on the ground around them. The only slight saving grace is that this area is accustomed to huge amounts of lake effect snow so they are decently equipped to handle the clean up. Adding to the pressure is the fact that the temperatures are expected to climb into the mid-40's today, meaning that the snow is melting almost as quickly as it fell and that can mean major flooding.
  • Caroline Manzo Reportedly Returning to 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' Once Teresa Giudice Is in Prison

    We recently told you that Bravo was working hard to try and strike a deal with Caroline Manzo to bring her back to "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." She opted out of filming the most recent season, so the producers brought in a trio of new ladies who just did not click with the audience. Midway through, they brought Jacqueline Laurita back in a desperate attempt to get former fans to tune back in, and they realize that for the show to have any chance of pulling decent numbers, they need a favorite like Manzo back in the fold.Teresa Giudice used to be the glue that held "RHONJ" together, and viewers loved the havoc she wrecked in nearly episode. There seems to be a huge difference between lying about her sister-in-law's activities and bilking people out of millions, and once it was confirmed that Giudice is a criminal, her fans became few and far between.Bravo also has to try and clean up the reputation of the show because Giudice is headed to prison, Laurita's tax evasion has been catching headlines and Joe and Melissa Gorga's business dealings are always questionable. Part of what makes Manzo so popular is that she comes across as the hardworking, Italian mother, something that is respected.According to The Hollywood Life, it looks like Manzo is a sure bet to return to the show for Season 7, especially once Giudice is in jail and the rest of the ladies are in one way or another affected by her absence.
