Rumors Of A Lesbian Romance With An ANTM Contestant? That Is Just So Raven

Raven Symone Rumored To Be Dating AzMarie Livingston

As actress Raven Symone has made abundantly clear, the definition of what is or is not so Raven changes almost everyday. According to recent rumors, however, allegedly having a lesbian relationship with America’s Next Top Model: British Invasion contestant AzMarie Livingston might be the most Raven thing of all. Earlier this week The National Enquirer started some rumors regarding the Cosby star’s lady-oriented love life. “She’s at a point now where she doesn’t care what her family thinks, and she’s in love with AzMarie,” their source claimed. “She’s a lesbian and wants to live that way. She feels her parents are still trying to treat her like she’s a kid, and she’s told them she’s going to do what she wants.” Sounds about right. Yup, this story just gets more and more Raven with ever new detail!

So is the gossip true? Raven, who is currently killing it on Broadway in the lead role of Sister Act, took to her Twitter this afternoon to…well, not to deny it, that’s for sure. “I’m living my PERSONAL life the way I’m happiest. I’m not one, in my 25 year career to disclose who I’m dating. and I shall not start now,” Symone tweeted. “My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I’m datings to know. I’m not one for a public display of my life.” Dating a model and telling us mind our own business in the classiest, most dignified way possible? Would that the entire world could be half so Raven!

Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hysteria Director Explain How To Make The Perfect Vibrator Movie (With Sandbags)

Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hugh Dancy In Hysteria

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s new comedy about the invention of the vibrator required a light hand (pun extremely intended!) when it came to shooting scenes of Victoria women, uh, enjoying their treatment. So how does a filmmaker shoot such delicate material? “We had orgasm rehearsal!” Hysteria director Tanya Wexler explained. “We didn’t want it to sound porny, but we also didn’t what it to sound incredibly absurd.”

Seeing as how this is cinema, not Skinemax, Wexler and her male leads Hugh Dancy and Jonathan Pryce also had to get crafty with how they shot scenes featuring the good doctors, er, tending to their lady patients before the ingenious invention arrives. “They can’t just kind of fake it,” Wexler said (pun unintended!). “There was a lot of uncomfortable brainstorming until Hugh was like, ‘Can we just use a sandbag?’ Jonathan, after two days of shooting, comes up to me and says, ‘I rubbed the skin off the knuckles of my hand.’” We call that dedication to the craft!

While Gyllenhaal’s brassy protagonist Charlotte doesn’t face any problems that are quite so graphic, she still got inventive developing her character. “I wasn’t concerned at all with her being historically accurate,” Maggie explained. “I just wanted her to be alive and wild and full of being a woman. She could be from any time, any planet.”

Taylor Swift Gets Lunch With Foster The People’s Mark Foster, But Is He Her Next Breakup Song?

Taylor Swift goes on a lunch date with Mark Foster

Taylor Swift went for lunch with Foster The People front-man Mark Foster yesterday, and apparently in Hollywood that means you’re ready to settle down and put a deposit on twin cemetery plots. Gossip sites are tossing their cookies at the prospect of the two young musicians hooking up, but it’s a Friday afternoon so we’ll bite. The pair were spotted dining al fresco in LA yesterday, with Taylor rocking her trademark Ladies-Of-The-Canyon steez in a flowing peach sundress and floppy hat. Foster, ever the rocker, showed up looking like Dr. House in a sport-coat, t-shirt and jeans. It’s remains to be seen if T-Swift “fostered” Mark’s “people”, but the willowy songstress has been linked to her share of dudes over the short span of her career. Just last month it was rumored that she was seeing pious footballer Tim Tebow, and that’s only the latest of oh so many. Check out the gallery below for a complete run-down of Taylor Swift’s romantic past!

Carrie Diaries Trailer Shows Just The Right Amount Of Sex And The City And High School

As fans of Sex and the City, Candace Bushnell’s YA novels The Carrie Diaries, and the entire Josh Schwartz oeuvre, we have had high, high hopes for the CW’s Carrie Diaries. And were pretty heartbroken to learn this week that AnnaSophia Robb wouldn’t be stepping into Carrie Bradshaw’s stilettos until midseason. That’s why we didn’t see any clips of it yesterday, when the new fall TV shows were trotted out for prospective advertisers. But whether by design or by leak, this morning we finally have a trailer. And we really, truly think this will be worth the wait. Here are five reasons why:

AnnaSophia Robb in The Carrie Diaries

The trailer opens with Carrie doing the classic SATC confident walk through Manhattan that makes us positively giddy.

Exclusive: Charlize Theron Wants To Reprise Her Role As Rita Leeds In Arrested Development Movie

Here’s something cool I’ve learned about Charlize Theron: She’s really funny. She was hilarious through out our interview at the Snow White and the Huntsman junket in England last weekend, and she spent the entire press day cracking jokes and doing bits with everyone. I’ve always wondered why she doesn’t do more comedy, especially because her story arc as MRF Rita Leeds on Arrested Development (one of the greatest shows of all time, IMHO), is so.damn.funny. If you haven’t seen it please stop reading this blog post immediately, run to Netflix, and thank me when you’re done.

After years of will they or won’t they, it was recently confirmed that an Arrested Development movie is in the works, for reals, after a brief run on TV. And so of course I had to dork out and ask Charlize if she’d consider reprising her role as Rita on the big screen. Good news, AD fans! The actress calls her time on the show “one of my favorite experiences I’ve ever had” and says she’d love to be a part of the film. Also she describes herself as “a nerd,” which gave me a serious case of heart explosions. Clip above.

CW Upfronts Celebrate Hot Hollywood With The Casts Of 90210, Supernatural And The Vampire Diaries

The CW Upfront 2012

It shouldn’t be so surprising that the red carpet for the CW’s upfront presentation yesterday in New York City earns our highest praise, even after seeing the stars attend the events for Fox, CBS and NBC. After all, two of our favorite shows were heavily repp’d. We mean The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural. The former had a lot of the series’ stars showing up, Ian Somerhalder, Steven R. McQueen, Paul Wesley, Katerina Graham, Nina Dobrev, Candice Accola, Michael Trevino and Zach Roerig included. Nina looked terrific in a very tight, satin cream Dolce & Gabbana dress, while boyfriend Ian rocked a Rogue T-shirt and leather jacket with jeans. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles both suited up for the Supernatural stakes, but next time, shave, guys!

A few ladies from 90210 were also spotted — Shenae Grimes, Jessica Stroup and Jessica Lowndes. These were by no means the only shows that the CW presented. Rachel Bilson was there, pretty in Chanel, for Hart of Dixie, along with co-star Jaime King who looked tropical in a skirt and bandeau top by Proenza Schouler. AnnaSophia Robb was there scoring for The Carrie Diairies in a vintage-looking alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet dress with YSL heels. Have a look at our gallery to see who else was there! (And don’t miss our gallery of all the hot stars of fall’s new network shows.)

Jenny McCarthy Plans To Celebrate Turning 40 By Posing Nude For Playboy

I’m not even 30 yet. I will be in a couple of months, but I don’t know if I’d ever have the cojones to do what Jenny McCarthy‘s doing to celebrate her birthday. And the woman is turning 40! But then again, one would have to have Jenny’s body to do what she’s doing. Her actual big day’s on November 1, but to countdown to turning the big 4-0, Jen’s going to be posing naked on the cover of Playboy‘s July-August issue. And it’s not just the front of the magazine. She’s got a whole spread inside as well and she’ll be in her … you guessed it … birthday suit.

This is like wish fulfillment for her, as she had said, back in 2009, that she wanted to pose nude for the magazine again. “I would be so flattered if they asked me. It’s probably not going to happen but I think I want to do it again,” were her words. Ask, and thou shall receive, Jenny. Her first naked spread for Playboy was back in 1993, FYI, and she received the “Playmate of the Year” title after it. How does one even prepare for something like this? Ask your trainer to move in? Swear off food? Forgo all liquids except water? Or perhaps, all of the above? Jokes aside, we’re sure that Jenny’s going to look like a million bucks.

Out Magazine Tells You “Why You Should Be Crushing On Channing Tatum”

Channing Tatum for Out Magazine

We’ve been saying over and over again, that this is Channing Tatum‘s year. Yesterday, we posted his cheeky EW cover with his Magic Mike crew, which had us pretty much fanning ourselves. But that’s just the beginning for Tatum. With Magic Mike out next month, everyone wants a slice of the star. The searing photograph you see above is the cover of Out magazine’s June-July issue. The long interview about him is titled, “From Stripper to Superstar,” so you know exactly what it’s going to be about, right?

Not quite, because the article opens with a series of quotes that really got our attention. Stuff like, “With Joe Manganiello naked in a movie, I think even straight guys are going to be, ‘Shit, I need to see that. That man is a specimen.’” Or, “Elton John had his hand up my ass the other night.” That probably went down when Elton and Channing got some sexy time onstage dancing at the Revlon Concert for the Rainforest in New York last month. When writer Aaron Hicklin asked what that was like, Channing’s response was, “Like any other hand up my ass, but more knightly. I can check that box now. It falls under the umbrella of doing sexual sh– with Elton John in public. I’m sure I’m not the first.” See what we mean? Add to that his hilarious “texture” issues with fruits and vegetables — “F— eggplant — it’s too spongy. I hate spongy stuff.” — and you’ve got yourself a nice little afternoon read.

Charlize Theron Had To Have All Her Teeth Removed As A Child, Which Explains Why She’s So Awesome

Charlize Theron Didn't Have Teeth Until Age 11

Oh hey, guys? Charlize Theron didn’t have a proper set of teeth until her adult teeth grew in. We know! As if we didn’t like her enough already! “I had these fangs because I had jaundice when I was a kid and I was put on so many antibiotics that my teeth rotted. They had to cut them out,” the Snow White And The Huntsman actress admitted to the U.K.’s The Sun. “I never had [baby] teeth. That was tough, you know, being in school having photos taken while I was pretending I had teeth. It was hideous.” We thought Young Adult was the height of our affection for Charlize, and then this happens. It turns out that we can always love this woman more!

We don’t mean to be flippant about something so awful (yes, we do), but doesn’t this make a lot of sense? Haven’t you said to yourself, “How did this model-turned-actress manage to be incredibly gorgeous and cool and have a wicked sense of humor?” It’s because she had to develop an awesome personality! To make up for her lack of teeth! Now, we’re not saying that you can’t be beautiful and amazing and hilarious all on your own…but having to have all your baby teeth removed definitely couldn’t hurt. Metaphorically-speaking, of course. Those suckers probably hurt like the devil getting removed.
