Raquel Pomplun was recently named Playboy Playmate of the Year 2013. The beauty is the first Mexican-American woman to land that coveted title.

Sexy, beautiful, drop dead gorgeous ... whatever you want to call the 25-year-old, it's hard to argue with Playboy's selection committee on this decision.

Happy 16th Birthday - Kylie Jenner!

Clear the roads, California residents. Kylie Jenner is now 16 years old!

The reality star and part-time model celebrates that major occasion today, likely by spending time with boyfriend Jaden Smith, but definitely NOT by being in front of the camera very much.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians actress can be surprisingly shy.

Expect plenty of birthday wishes to be sent Kylie's way today, with Kim Kardashian possibly even breaking her post-baby run of silence and sending out a message on Facebook. Or having her assistant to it at least.

So along those lines, allow us to join in the chorus: Happy birthday, Kylie Jenner!

Nude in New York Magazine : Lake Bell

Lake Bell is naked for New York Magazine's Fall Fashion issue, wearing only elaborate rose ink designed by her husband Scott Campbell, an LA tattoo artist.

Her right hand strategically covers her unmentionables.

The 34-year-old wed Campbell on June 1 in New Orleans, La.

Celebrity guests included Eva Longoria, Kate Bosworth, Alicia Silverstone, Josh Hartnett, Cameron Diaz, Justin Theroux and fiancee Jennifer Aniston.

But only Campbell saw Lake Bell nude ... until NOW.

Actually that's not true. She also got naked in How To Make It In America back when that was still on. The more you know, people.

Bruce Willis Balks at $3 Million : Expendables 3

Imagine what your life would be like if you were paid $3 million for four days work. Pretty nice, right?

As we reported the other day, Harrison Ford has taken over for Bruce Willis in Expendables 3. At the time, the only information anyone had came from Sylvester Stallone's Twitter feed, in which Rocky proclaimed how excited he was about Ford's involvement followed shortly by:

"GREEDY AND LAZY ..... A SURE FORMULA FOR CAREER FAILURE."

Turns out, Stallone was calling out Willis for his reaction to contract negotiations. Willis was offered $3 million for four days work on the action film sequel, but he wanted $4 million.

Yes, a million dollars per day.

That offer was turned down and Willis decided to walk. The Hollywood Reporter caught up with an insider who said: "I think Willis was pretty surprised he was replaced in 72 hours by Harrison Ford. A better actor, a much nicer person, and a more interesting direction for the film."

So there you have it. Twitter is no longer just for the pre-teen hysterics and ridiculous reality TV melodrama. Nope, it is now the sounding board for behind the scenes ongoings involving millions of dollars.

Rihanna : Fined $47K For Skipping Deposition

Rihanna just pulled a Lindsay Lohan. No, not torpedoing her own career with felony charges and crippling addiction. Just flaking on a lawsuit deposition.

The superstar's ex-accountants have been trying to depose her for a long time. Rihanna claims they mismanaged her money and owe her millions.

The accountants say Rihanna's at fault, and that she's been blowing off the deposition repeatedly, costing them massive sums in attorneys' fees.

As a result, the firm asked the judge to punish the star. The judge agreed, fining Rihanna a not-so-small amount of $47,050 for their legal bills.

On top of that, Rihanna was ordered to sit for a deposition once and for all August 28. If she doesn't show up, he might dismiss her claim altogether.

Question is whether she's too busy taking Rihanna nude photos to care.

Tweeted By Kate Upton : Kate Upton Bikini Photo

All Kate Upton bikini photos are noteworthy, but this new addition is particularly stunning.

First of all, it came from Kate's own Twitter, so you know it's got her stamp of approval.

Second ... JUST LOOK AT IT! Those eyes, that smile ... sorry guys. We'll get to it:

The 21-year-old blonde beauty shared the gorgeous shot of herself in a white-hot Beach Bunny Swim bikini. "Rough life @BeachBunnySwim," she wrote.

Of her tropical island locale, Upton said, "Gorgeous view today!" Later, she added, "Alright the sun is up... Isn't it time for this night shoot to be over?"

Yeah..!! It's a BOY : Kate Middleton Gives Birth to Royal Baby

The royal baby is here! The royal baby is here!

After many weeks of keeping the masses waiting on pins and needles and keeping us guessing as to her due date, Kate Middleton has given birth.

She and Prince William have welcomed a baby boy!

A royal aide just announced the joyful news moments ago with a proclamation signed by the doctors who delivered the little HRH Prince of Cambridge!

Well, not SO little. His weight (8 pounds, 6 ounces) and the time of its birth (4:24 p.m.) were confirmed, along with the gender, via press release.

An official gun salute in London's Hyde Park is expected shortly, and the bells of St Paul’s Cathedral are already ringing in honor of the future King.

Ever since Kate went into labor early Monday morning, Royal Baby Watch 2013 reached a fever pitch outside London's St. Mary's Hospital and worldwide.

Now that it's over, it's finally cause for celebration.

Kate Middleton and Prince William did not find out the gender beforehand, setting off a national guessing game (and online betting frenzy) for months.

They kept all facets of her pregnancy as private and low-key as possible.

When Kate and William did finally arrive at the hospital this morning, they did it their way, with no fanfare, no sirens and not even a police escort.

Just a dark Range Rover and a shiny new Audi nosing their way calmly through the traffic-free streets of London after dawn, cagily evading the media.

William has been by his wife’s side all week as they moved from Kate's parents house to Kensington Palace, just a mile from the hospital, last weekend.

Queen Elizabeth II now has three living heirs: Prince Charles, her eldest son, William, his eldest son, and the first-born son of William and Kate.

And, Her Majesty gets to go on holiday without missing this now. Phew!

Charles said: "Both my wife and I are overjoyed at the arrival of my first grandchild. It is an incredibly special moment for William and Catherine."

"We are so thrilled for them on the birth of their baby boy," he adds. "We are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future."

Miley Cyrus on Lesbian Rumors: Thank You!

Miley Cyrus has a message for the haters: I won.

But she also has a second message: find a new way to insult me.

In the wake of Miley's short haircut, many have wondered whether the singer is a lesbian, a subject Cyrus touched on this week during a chat with The Toronto Sin.

"Being a lesbian isn't a bad thing," Miley says. "So if you think I look like I'm a lesbian, I'm not offended. You can call me much worse. I've been called much worse. Being a lesbian is a compliment more than what else they call me."

Cyrus also wonders how critics call her out for being a tom boy now that her locks have been shortened, considering she was ranked this year's at Maxim's #1 Hottie.

"It wasn’t about me being the sexiest," she says. "It was about the fans voting. But it’s something I loved. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Maxim cover with a girl with short hair.”

Cyrus is coming out with a new album this fall and going on tour in 2014.

She has remained quiet on the details surrounding those professional endeavors, but she has released a snippet of her next single, "Wrecking Ball." Give it a listen in the above video.

Kate Upton Topless Horse Photo: Uncensored Or Fake?

Last month, a viral video surfaced of Kate Upton topless on a horse.

If you're a straight male, you likely heard about this development.

Fortunately for the Internet's sake, TMZ digitally censored Kate Upton’s chest with a pair of big red stars. The web may have full-on crashed otherwise.

Even so, the video has since been taken down ... however, a purportedly uncensored photo of Kate topless on a horse has leaked. But is it legit?

The leaked photo - allegedly a screen grab from the original video - shows Kate Upton nude from the waist up, Could a frame or two have escaped editing?

Johnny Depp return to a land of make-believe as the Mad Hatter in an Alice in Wonderland sequel.

Fresh off the heels of a flop with The Lone Ranger, Johnny Depp is in talks to return to a land of make-believe as the Mad Hatter in an Alice in Wonderland sequel.

That's right, those eyebrows are coming back!

Tim Burton, however, will not be returning to the franchise.

Instead, director James Bobin has been slated to helm the project. Will he keep a look that was very much of a Tim Burton variety? Remains to be seen.

Will the sequel come close to the original in terms of box office success?

That will be a most interesting storyline to follow. The first Alice in Wonderland did amazingly well for a movie that wasn't very well received by the critics, nor did word of mouth do it much good. Yet, it brought in over a billion dollars in its run.

It seems as if Disney is keen on sticking with Depp despite the poor performance of The Lone Ranger. Not only is Alice in Wonderland getting a sequel, but Depp's benchmark series, Pirates of the Caribbean is scheduled for its fifth incarnation. Fifth!

I cannot wait to see if Captain Jack Sparrow beats Union Cane or not.

Terminator Reboot: Coming in June 26, 2015!

He'll be back ... well, at least one of his iconic movies will be. Sort of.

A reboot of The Terminator will hit theaters on June 26, 2015!

Paramount, David Ellison's Skydance Pictures and Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures are partnering on the reboot of the franchise, reports indicate.

The Terminator reboot is, obviously, intended as the first in a trilogy.

Arnold Schwarzenegger starred and James Cameron directed the first film, which was released in 1984 and has spawned three successful sequels.

Demi Lovato Unveils : "Made in the USA" Cover Art

Last night, Demi Lovato gave thanks to her fans for sending their thoughts and prayer in light of her father's death.

And now the singer's fans have a reason to thank her: Lovato has given us a look at the cover art for her upcoming single, "Made in the USA."

It's a black-and-white shot of the 20-year old in a leather jacket, biting her collar and smiling coyly. We can also clearly make out the cross tattoo on her right hand:

"Made in the USA" hits Top 40 Radio this Thursday, just in time for July 4.

Hottest Women in the World Right Now - Rihanna

Complex magazine has named Rihanna the Hottest Woman in the World right now, as this publication clearly disagrees with Maxim awarding the same honor to Cyrus last month.

No reasons were given for the top ranking, at least not in word form. But this photo of RiRi checking The Hollywood Gossip says it all, doesn't it?

Here's a look at the magazine's top 10:

1. Rihanna
2. Alison Brie
3. Jennifer Lawrence
4. Beyonce
5. Kerry Washington
6. Selena Gomez
7. Nicki Minaj

9. Miley Cyrus
10. Kim Kardashian

In Queen Elizabeth's Garden Party - Kate Middleton, Baby Bump Look Lovely in Yellow

Kate Middleton was the bright spot - literally - at Queen Elizabeth II's annual summer garden party today, donning a lemon-yellow coat dress and fascinator.

The seven-months-pregnant Duchess of Cambridge stood out in the crowd of other guests, who clamored for a glimpse of her growing baby bump:

As Kate Middleton baby bump watchers know, it's really popped in recent weeks, and the Duchess always seems to look radiant with her style.

She appeared to be in great spirits as she mingled with her father-in-law, Prince Charles, and wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, at the occasion.

All eyes were on the royal mom-to-be as she made her way around the affair, smiling and chatting with other seasonally, festively outfitted partygoers.

Among the 8,000 invitees were Olympians, Paralympians, and officials from London 2012. Over 270,000 cups of tea were served at the event!

After the playing of the national anthem at 4 p.m., members of the royal family split up to greet guests, each taking different routes through the grounds.

As Kate Middleton fashion statements go, it was another win at the event, which she attended for the first time as Prince William's wife in 2012.

The Queen's garden party is the pregnant Duchess' first official public engagement in quite some time; she has been lying low in recent weeks.

Some of that time has been spent taking cooking classes from her housekeeper, Antonella Fresolone, who's teaching the nesting Kate new recipes.

The Duchess has also been devouring parenting books.

"She is fascinated by the life growing inside her, and she is full of questions," a family source said. "Kate really engages with children. She's a natural."

"She's going to be a great mum."

We have absolutely no doubt about that, and can't wait to meet the new arrival, which is supposedly set to be born on July 13 or thereabouts.

Yes, Movie rights Angry Birds...

Sony has bought the movie rights to Angry Birds!

Yes. Movie rights. There will be an Angry Birds movie.

Now that movie studios are mining apps for ideas, we can all look forward to such thrilling summer Blockbusters as: Instagram: The Duckface of Death, Google Maps: Curse of the Undocumented Construction, and Grindr: The Casual Encounter.

Vitti has written on such shows as Saturday Night Live, The Critic, The Larry Sanders Show, King of the Hill, and The Simpsons.

What do you think? Can the Angry Birds movie be any good at all? Or are apps a horrible place to draw inspiration for a movie?

Angry Birds has a premiere date set for July 1. 2016.

Justin Bieber : "Take Some Time"

Justin Bieber has sent out a cryptic, mysterious Tweet that has left fans wondering and worrying.

"Gonna take some time," the singer wrote this evening, adding nothing to the message and not updating his account since.

It's safe to assume, of course, that Bieber is reacting to the last night's reception at the Billboard Music Awards, where he was audibly booed while accepting a trophy.

The 19-year old appeared taken aback by the rude greeting, standing silently for a period of time before saying he deserved to be "taken seriously."

Justin also performed two songs at the event and was spotted kissing Selena Gomez backstage.

His apparent social media silence now comes after months of controversial actions, from pot smoking to speeding to arguing with his neighbor to taking his shirt off at random times.

Let's all hope the young man figures thing out and let's all give him the space he needs to do so.

The Hangover Part III will premiere May 23 : NSFW!

The new The Hangover Part III red band trailer is here!

It looks a lot like today's Last Vegas trailer, only with young people (that's a joke).

The first part of the trailer is a recap of the first two films, though that mostly consists of Zach Galifianakis' Wolfpack speech and a naked Ken Jeong.

Galifianakis returns along with Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Justin Bartha for the final installment of the raunchy comedy franchise.

This time, they are forced by a crime boss to return to Vegas and find Chow.

John Goodman, Heather Graham, Jeffrey Tambor, Gillian Vigman, Sasha Barrese, Jamie Chung, Mike Epps, and Melissa McCarthy also star.

Tod Phillips directs the film, which he co-wrote with Craig Mazin. The Hangover Part III will premiere May 23.

Extreme Photoshopping 101? : Britney Spears Shape Cover

Britney Spears' sexy Shape cover is literally beyond comprehension.

Either because of its extreme hotness ... or extreme photoshopping.

Some readers began crying foul moments after it was released, insisting that the ultra-svelte body on the Britney Spears Shape cover can't possibly be hers.

While her skin was definitely smoothed out and airbrushed, that's pretty standard for any magazine cover. Those curves look like vintage Britney.

And in any case, the point of the cover story is her new regimen of Nutrisystem, dieting, yoga and crazy rehearsals for her upcoming Vegas residency.

"I'm doing 90 minutes of yoga twice a week in addition to a lot of cardio ... hour-long sessions three times a week with my trainer," she tells the magazine.

That's the kind of intense workout and diet program that'll really help you lose weight and get into the best Shape of your life ... so take that, haters.

Selena Gomez on Dating Justin Bieber: Oh Realy!

Selena Gomez is featured on the cover of the latest InStyle.

But it's what inside this magazine that ought to have fans salivating, as the singer talks at length about her time as the girlfriend of Justin Bieber.

Referring to the relationship as "crazy and intense," Selena says it was often "uncomfortable" because everyone knew their business. However...

"Justin and I never really focused on the attention. You can't help who you date. So I wouldn't swear off that or say that's what I want again."

It's unclear when this interview was given, of course, meaning Gomez may have spoken to the publication prior to her trip to Norway and rumored reconciliation with Bieber.

The star also touched on "Love Will Remember," a single on her new album that's all about Bieber:

"That's the most personal track on the record, for sure. I think it's a sweet way of releasing it. It's not an aggressive approach to what people are probably expecting," she says, adding of Justin: "I'm sure he'll love it too."

Lindsay Lohan: Already Looking to Flake on Rehab?

Lindsay Lohan has only been at the Betty Ford Center for a matter of days, yet is already telling people that she wants to leave the treatment facility.

The star checked into the famed Palm Desert, Calif., rehab center late last week, having bailed on two different facilities in the preceding days.

Tom Cruise to Star and Produce - Mission: Impossible 5

Today, Tom Cruise has signed on to return to the role of Ethan Hunt. He will also produce.

Ghost Protocol, which was the fourth film in the series, earned $694.7 million worldwide.

Congratulations For "Joining Dark Side", Farrah Abraham Receives Offer on Sex Tape...

Farrah Abraham's sex tape scheme was foiled by James Deen, who let the cat out of the bag by revealing he was contracted to shoot a full-on porno with her.

On the plus side, the Farrah Abraham porn tape - which she dubiously says was made for personal use to commemorate her hot, 21-year-old body - is fetching interest!

A Canadian site is keen to get their hands on it, offering $100,000 on the spot … not bad considering they haven't seen it, though far from her $2 million goal.

“We're happy to hear you have joined the ‘dark side’ by filming your own adult movie with porn star James Deen,” Sam Rothstein, Marketing Director of BangYouLater (dot) com writes.

“Contact us so we can make you very aware of just how much this video is worth. We believe you stand out on the show, Teen Mom, and we’d like to expose you to a much larger audience."

“Being one of the largest tube sites online, we know just how to maximize our Internet traffic to give you the most exposure to make you a bigger star than Kim Kardashian!”

They definitely talk a good game, even if they aim a little high.

After all, Farrah allegedly tried to shop an actual homemade sex tape before but was rebuffed, at which point she decided to shoot a second, "professional" one.

Feeling Great, Excited to Be a Mom : Kate Middleton

The pregnant Kate Middleton is reportedly feeling great these days, despite her early morning sickness, and could not be more excited to be a mom.

She has not, however, decided what she will name the royal heir(ess).

"They are keeping everything to themselves. The Duke and Duchess take their privacy very seriously. They are not speaking to anyone about private matters."

And while Middleton is obviously getting closer and closer to her July 3 due date (approximately) a source tells E! that "Kate is feeling great."

"She's continuing to feel much better as time goes on."

"Naturally, she's very excited about being a mum."

And making the necessary preparations apparently.

Earlier this week, Kate Middleton and Prince William got the go-ahead to make some privacy-increasing modifications to their potential country retreat.

Molly Sims Bikini Photo Highlights Weight Loss - Insane Body

Molly Sims is hot. She lost weight after having a baby.

Here she is in a bikini to highlight the transformation.

"Finally bikini ready & pulling out those Sports Illustrated poses, just in time for bestie Lauren Kucerak's big bday!" she tweeted along with the pic.

How'd she shed 65 pounds since welcoming son Brooks in June? The usual combination of balancing a diet of healthy recipes with regular exercise.

Is Lindsay Lohan Go to Jail in 2013?

Lindsay Lohan just dodged another legal bullet. After firing Shawn Holley, her longtime lawyer nevertheless showed up and entered a plea for her in court.

Had Holley bailed, after being dismissed a day earlier, a warrant would likely have been issued for Lohan's arrest. She's playing with fire, that's for sure.

Linds faces a probation violation, charges of lying to law enforcement and - 3,000 miles away - a separate case in which she was arrested for punching some chick.

She's lookin' at up to eight months for the probation violation alone, criminal counts aside. Which begs the question: Will she be behind bars at some point this year?

Girl's been a wizard at wriggling out of these things, but she's getting more and more out of control, and the sheer volume of legal woes will be tough to surmount.

Evan Rachel Wood & actor Jamie Bell expecting first child..

Actress Evan Rachel Wood said on Friday that she and her husband, British actor Jamie Bell, are expecting their first child.

"Thanks for all your warm wishes," Wood, 25, wrote on her Twitter account. "We are very happy. I'm gonna be a mama!"

Moments earlier, Wood posted a picture of the pregnancy book "What to Expect When You're Expecting" on the social media site.

It will be the first child for both Wood and Bell, who wed in October.

Wood rose to Hollywood stardom for her roles in 2008's "The Wrestler" and the 2003 coming-of-age drama "Thirteen." She was nominated for an Emmy award for the 2011 television mini-series "Mildred Pierce."

Bell, 26, found fame as the teen star of "Billy Elliot," about a ballet dancer growing up in a tough coal mining town in northern England. He won a British BAFTA award for the role and has since appeared in adventure movies such as "The Eagle."
