Hanes Strips Down Charlie Sheen Commercials
2 hours ago
Someone's tighty-whities must be in a bunch. In the wake of Charlie Sheen's domestic woes, underwear powerhouse Hanes immediately pulled the actor's advertisements from on-air rotation. "Hanes is not running the television commercials featuring Charlie Sheen, and those commercials will not run again," company spokesman Matt Hall tells E! News. "The commercials were suspended effective Dec. 28, the first date possible after Mr. Sheen's Christmas Day arrest." Fortunately for Two and a Half Men's embattled star, we haven't seen the last of his face rocking the casual duds—on paper, at least. "There are a few trade advertisements featuring Mr. Sheen »
Jared Padalecki and Genevieve Cortese Are Engaged
3 hours ago
Sorry, Sam girls. Reps for Jared Padalecki confirm to us exclusively that the rumors are true, and he is engaged to marry former Supernatural costar Genevieve Cortese. Padalecki plays Sam Winchester on the CW's cult-hit series about a pair of demon-hunting brothers on a destiny run; Cortese appeared on the fourth season of the series as the second embodiment of the comely but eeeevil demon Ruby. (Melrose Place star Katie Cassidy played Ruby's first iteration.) So how did this happen, and when's the big day? The couple, whose characters shared some superhot sex scenes and a dysfunctional but intense relationship during their time together on the show, have been dating very, very »

Did you give up your Charlie Sheen habit for New Year's? Are you back on with The Bachelor and The Biggest Loser? And why is Lindsay Lohan stuck in her own personal Groundhog Day? The answers—and more questions—in the first TV ratings quiz of 2010: 1. Has Sheen's domestic-violence arrest arrested Two and a Half Men's Nielsen development? Nope. The CBS sitcom has added viewers in each of its two (rerun) airings since Sheen's unmerry Christmas Day. 2. Did you keep your resolution to watch The Biggest Loser? Yup. Last night's season opener (estimated 11.7 million viewers) pulled the franchise's biggest-ever premiere audience among the demographically desirable (who, »
Shocker! Avatar, District 9, Star Trek Make Cut for F/X Oscar
5 hours ago
It's shaping up to be an alien invasion at the Oscars. To the surprise of absolutely no one, James Cameron's Na'vi-centric 3-D extravaganza Avatar, Neill Blomkamp's prawn thriller District 9 and J.J. Abrams' action-packed Spock-eriffic reboot of Star Trek lead the list of seven films short-listed for the Visual Effects Oscar nomination. Of course, all three are aspiring to even loftier heights. After yesterday's Producer Guild nominations, the trio all have a shot at a Best Picture nod in this year's expanded field.

The Biggest Loser: "Half-Ton Twin" James Used Knee Injury as an "Excuse"
6 hours ago
And so it begins. As America confronts its collective New Year's resolution to lose weight, NBC has launched a third season of The Biggest Loser: Couples, and the first official eliminee was James Crutchfield, one-half of the self-named "Half-Ton Twins." We checked in with him about going home so early, the remarkable progress of his home-based weight-loss efforts, and even got some dish about what burgeoning romances he left behind at the ranch... James' number one piece of advice for would-be losers, which coincides nicely with this season of new beginnings, is to avoid procrastination. He says, above all else, "Start today." He started right after being voted off the show at the »

Robsten New Year's Eve Photo Details Revealed!
7 hours ago
As we all know by now, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart spent New Year's Eve together on the Isle of Wight in the English Channel. But Holly, the girl—and apparently the only person—to get photos with the Twilight stars, says she didn't exactly see anything romantic between the two. In fact, they weren't even alone. "They just had some friends with them," Holly, 13, said in an interview with Isle of Wight Radio host Omar Lakhssassi... Holly said the surprise encounter happened pretty quickly. She didn't recognize them at first, but then she heard them speak. "I was like, 'Oh my God, you're Kristen Stewart,' " Holly said. "And she was like, »
Miley Cyrus: "My Job Is to Be a Role Model, Not a Parent"
8 hours ago
We're all pretty guilty of analyzing just about everything in Miley Cyrus' life—her tattoo, her quasi-pole dance, her Twitter, her feelings toward Twilight—which has gotta be pretty weird for any teenager. Now, Miley tries to come to terms with what that means for her in February's Harper's Bazaar. "My job is to be a role model, and that's what I want to do, but my job isn't to be a parent," she tells the fashion mag. "My job isn't to tell your kids how to act or how not to act, because I'm still figuring that out for myself. So to take that away from me is a bit selfish. Your kids are going to make mistakes whether I do or not. That's just »
Precious Boosts Its Image, Racks Up NAACP Noms
8 hours ago
No surprise here. While we'll have to wait until Feb. 2 to see if Precious charms the Academy as much as it has the rest of the film-honoring world, the indie flick today added to its pre-Oscar momentum by steamrolling through the NAACP Image Award nominations. Precious earned a leading eight Image Award nods, including Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Director for Lee Daniels and a host of acting nods. In fact, nearly everyone who logged screen time in the Harlem-set drama seemed destined for a nomination. As expected, Gabourey Sidibe scored a Best Actress nomination, and Mariah Carey, Mo'Nique and Paula Patton are all up for Supporting Actress. Lenny Kravitz is up in the Supporting Actor race. But »

Hurt also won Best Director for Kathryn Bigelow, Best Actor for Jeremy Renner and Best Editing.

Mariah's Acceptance Speech More Lush-ious Than Precious?
9 hours ago
The Palm Springs desert is pretty dry. Mariah Carey, we're not so sure about. The Grammy-winning diva turned Precious actress was honored with a Breakthrough Performance Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival last night, and she was clearly in, um, high spirits when she accepted her award from director Lee Daniels. "Oh my goodness," she said, before turning her attentions to the filmmaker, who had casually referred to her as "Mariah-kitten." "Ha, ha, ha! I don't think they understand the kitten and cotton thing," she giggled. "Ok, I love you," she went on before hugging Daniels yet again. "I have to say, this is…and please forgive me »

Could Jackson Rathbone's Eclipse Script Leak Lead to Awards?
12 hours ago
Losing your script may sound like the kiss of death for an actor, but maybe the opposite is the case. If that's true, prepare for Jackson Rathbone to dominate an awards season in the future. Supposedly, a full copy of the screenplay for Twilight's third installment, Eclipse, has made its way onto the Internet (and, no, this is not another virus). The early draft of the script belongs to none other than Jasper Hale himself, reports Deadline Hollywood. Summit Entertainment issued a "no comment" on the entire situation, so we don't know how the text was found or if there will be any repercussions for the Rath-bonehead, but his costar Anna Kendrick set a rather awesome precedent for »
Shocker! Somebody Still Watches Heroes!
13 hours ago
On Earth One, Heroes hasn't been a ratings superhero for a long while. But on Earth Two...Oh, on Earth Two, it flies higher than Grey's Anatomy. For the purposes of this discussion, Earth One is the real Nielsen world, and Earth Two, the exciting world of Internet piracy. A TorrentFreak ranking of the top 10 most pirated shows of 2009 found the NBC series on top, with 6.6 million unauthorized downloads. By comparison, last night's back-to-back new episodes averaged fewer than 5 million TV viewers. Get the complete list here—and enjoy how it makes smash hits out of Prison Break and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Compare »
James Bond Meets the Man with the Golden Globe (and Oscar)?
21 hours ago
Britain's most famous spy could be getting some high-class help for his next adventure. No, not Miss Moneypenny. Away We Go director Sam Mendes, an Academy Award and Golden Globe winner for American Beauty and British theater vet, may direct the next Bond adventure, according to the Hollywood Reporter. This would be the 23rd installment of the sexy spy series, and the first directed by someone married to Kate Winslet (who would be a winning Moneypenny, if we may be so bold as to make a casting suggestion.) Hunky Daniel Craig will suit up again as 007, and Frost/Nixon screenwriter Peter Morgan are said to be providing the double entendres along with »

Fans of The Biggest Loser, the weight is over! NBC's heavy-hitting reality series starts back up tonight with its largest contestant ever.

Can Kid Actors Do R-Rated Things in Movies?
23 hours ago
Have you seen the red band trailer for Kick-Ass [very Nsfw]? How can a movie get away with a child actor spewing such filthy language? —Pocky, Los Angeles You speak of Chloe Moretz, who catsuits up and plays a li'l purple-wigged assassin fond of the C-word, among other profanity bombs. She is a deadly vigilante who goes by the moniker Hit Girl, and her dad is played by Nic Cage. She filmed it at or around age 12, and this thing is very much rated R. So will there be any last-minute injunctions or outraged, crusading lawyers trying to shut down the premiere on April 16? Well... ...for the record, I have no idea what Gloria Allred will be doing on the 16th of April, but in general, movies »

Spider-Man 4 Snags May Delay Big-Screen Debut
5 January 2010 5:14 PM, PST
Our Spidey sense is tingling. Just a few months ago, Tobey Maguire told us he was ready to don the Spider-Man suit again in March for the film's fourth installment, which was looking at a May 2011 release. Now it looks like Spider-Man 4 is facing a foe worse than Doc Ock: a rejected screenplay. Somewhere along the line, Marvel's record-breaking franchise hit a huge snag, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Director Sam Raimi is reportedly dissatisfied with the Spider-Man 4 script thus far, and without a script, filming on the long-awaited movie has been put on the back burner. The conflict is stemming from which comic book villain should battle the webslinger. Raimi is »
Charlie Sheen Has Family Time With Daughters
5 January 2010 2:17 PM, PST
Even if Charlie Sheen hasn't seen his 10-month-old twins, Bob and Max, since his very messy Christmas Day with wife Brooke Mueller, that doesn't mean he hasn't been able to enjoy some recent family time. For the first time since his arrest, the Two and a Half Men star saw his daughters Sam, 4, Lola, 2, and their mom, ex-wife Denise Richards, on New Year's Eve day at their L.A.-area home, a source exclusively tells us... "He came to their house and everyone had dinner together," the source said. While Sheen may have put on a good face with his daughters, our source said that he is "s--ting his pants" right now. "He's scared," the source said. "He just »
