That astronomical figure dwarfs all other sites in the entire world, and many think something should be done to stop the death toll. Sat, 26 May 2012 22:02:43 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Charlize-Theron-Likes-Being-Photographed-Naked-From-Side-42917.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Charlize-Theron-Likes-Being-Photographed-Naked-From-Side-42917.html Charlize Theron may be a veteran at on-screen nudity, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t put thought and care into how she’d like to be shot sans clothing. Her first and most important rule: aim from the side. In her new movie Snow White And The Huntsman, she emerges from baths of both black and white goo after dropping her robe, but viewers shouldn’t expect to glance at too much, apart from a bit of side boob.

The former Peyton Place regular and sister of famed actress Natalie Wood was making herself some food earlier this week when she began sneezing and coughing. After swelling began, she reportedly rushed to an urgent care facility.

Instead, the comedian was on campus to deliver a speech and even a kiss to a lucky or unlucky student, depending on how that dude feels about the experience. Sat, 26 May 2012 17:59:27 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Watch-An-Eighty-Year-Almost-Die-Skydiving-42907.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Watch-An-Eighty-Year-Almost-Die-Skydiving-42907.html It’s not often something goes horribly wrong during a skydiving trip and everyone lives to tell the tale, but that’s exactly what happened to Laverne Everett, an eighty-year-old woman who wanted to jump out of an airplane before she died. Planning the trip for more than a decade, the grandmother put in all the prep work, but when it came time to jump, she leaned back inside the plane, slipping out of her upper harness.

The hype man has seven children with three different women, and the two he’s not currently with haven’t been shy about letting the court system and the media know about Flav’s delinquency. The newest beef however could wind up being far and away the most serious.

A petition was even put together that eventually garnered over 2,000 signatures requesting the book be returned to the shelves. Sat, 26 May 2012 16:35:14 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Jonny-Lee-Miller-Confronts-Dude-Allegedly-Stealing-His-Mail-42902.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Jonny-Lee-Miller-Confronts-Dude-Allegedly-Stealing-His-Mail-42902.html Jonny Lee Miller might not seem like a man who would throw fists to protect his mail, but it turns out he’s either exactly that kind of man or he was waiting for a really important correspondence. Yesterday, the thirty-nine-year-old was reportedly looking out his front window when he saw a dude going through his letters. Rather than leave him be, Miller apparently exited his residence and let the stranger have it verbally. Sat, 26 May 2012 11:27:31 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Watch-Live-Lip-Dub-Proposal-Set-Bruno-Mars-42899.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Watch-Live-Lip-Dub-Proposal-Set-Bruno-Mars-42899.html So maybe you're sick of watching online viral videos of elaborate proposals, or of online viral videos featuring dancing flash mobs, or of online videos featuring lip dubs to popular songs. But you know what happens when you put all three together? Something glorious Sat, 26 May 2012 01:04:54 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/X-Factor-Britney-Spears-Worth-Trouble-42898.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/X-Factor-Britney-Spears-Worth-Trouble-42898.html Britney Spears wasn’t hired for her judging ability. She wasn’t hired for her tactful language or her compassionate smile. She was paid fifteen million dollars to join the X Factor panel in order to convince the American public to turn on their televisions and give Simon Cowell’s reality competition show one more chance.

The actress was reportedly driving at around 1:30 AM when her vehicle made contact with a light pole. Authorities were called to the scene, and following a brief interview, concluded there was a chance Jameson was intoxicated.

The actress had just ended a five-year relationship with actor Rupert Friend, and it was widely speculated she took up with the musician to try something new. As weeks turned into months however, positively cute pictures began emerging of the new pair strolling through London arm-in-arm and smiling like they’d never been happier.

The choice of when and where to own one’s sexuality is an intensely personal one. Last week, it seemed like respected chef and Food Network starlet Anne Burrell was denied that right by former Top Chef judge Ted Allen when he told radio listeners she was dating a woman, but if you take it from Burrell, she wasn’t outed at all. Fri, 25 May 2012 10:11:03 -0600 http://www.cinemablend.com/pop/Wilmer-Valderrama-Sued-Throwing-Too-Many-Parties-42879.html http://www.cinemablend.com/celebrity/Wilmer-Valderrama-Sued-Throwing-Too-Many-Parties-42879.html Wilmer Valderrama was only a junior in high school when he shot the pilot for That 70s Show. By the middle of the show’s eight season run, he was embracing the life of a star, hanging out with beautiful women, attending various events and generally being a man about town. Unfortunately for one of his neighbors, it seems he might no longer be about town quite enough.

Now, with a win in his back pocket, he is ready to get the issue taken care of.
