The building was already packed to the rafters with the 2000 fans leaving the JK Rowling event when the 2000 Benedict Cumberbatch devotees began to arrive.

Benedict’s unbelievably brilliant portrayal of Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional sleuth Sherlock Holmes - in Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’s incredible reimagining of the tales for the BBC - was the reason he was at the 2012 literary festival, and there were screams when the actor finally appeared, casually clad in a blue duffel coat.

After warming everyone up with a routine borrowed from Elbow’s Guy Garvey, he took a seat opposite his interviewer on stage, his charming Sherlock co-star Louise Brealey, whose character Molly is in love with the genius detective (and who may have played a key role in aiding him to fake his death at the conclusion of series two). Their sparky chemistry throughout made for a revealing chat, with lots of giggling. Louise even revealed that she’d had countless dreams about the interview, including one where she admitted that she “wet herself on stage and tried to blame it on Benedict”. It was a relief, given Benedict’s recent reticence in interviews after having been misquoted/inadvertently dragged into media storms.( Collapse )

Talk about a potentially very awkward introduction.

Lea Michele first met Glee's new hottie Dean Geyer without his shirt on—at his audition!

"It was my fourth or fifth audition and it was nerve-racking," says Geyer, 26, who joined the show this season as Brody. "It was on set so they had all the lighting and cameras set up and the director there. I met everyone and Lea for like 30 seconds and they were like, 'Can we have your shirt off, please.'"

Yes, it was the scene in which Rachel meets Brody for the first time when he's in nothing but a towel.

"It was good that we go to play around with it during the audition," Geyer said. "It really set the tone for the day and set the chemistry for me and Lea."

No surprise, Geyer says he's received some hate tweets from Finchel fanatics.

He smiled, "I don't mind being the person who gets to mix things up."

And neither do we—especially when you're shirtless.

Sexy Kye Sones is now single, ladies!!!

Handsome X FACTOR wannabe Kye Sones has split from his American beauty editor girlfriend — as his growing army of female fans is about to explode.

An X Factor spokesman confirmed: “Kye and Halle split. They remain good friends.”

Former chimney sweep Kye, 30, had been dating American beauty editor Halle Carlson when he signed up for the ITV1 show.

But the handsome singer has now made it all the way to the final 12 — and proved to be a huge hit with the ladies along the way, including Cheryl Cole.

The former panellist flirted with Kye — who is in Gary Barlow’s Over 28 category — when they met at the judges’ houses stage.
But Kye told pals he feared he’d missed his chance after telling Cheryl he had a girlfriend.

A source said: “Halle supported him all the way to bootcamp. But Kye thinks X Factor will change his life forever and it’s given him the push he needed to end the relationship. If he had a second chance with Cheryl, he’d jump at the chance.”

The live shows start tomorrow and Kye enjoyed a taste of new-found fame last weekend.

He was mobbed at London’s Whisky Mist club as he celebrated with fellow finalists Jade Ellis and bands Union J and GMD3.

A source said: “One girl in a leopard-print outfit was trying it on with all the boys. They loved it.”

Tyra flaunts her "muffin top" to inspire her fans.

Tyra Banks recently opened up about how she struggled to gain weight as a skinny 11-year-old.

But now the America's Next Top Model is claiming to have a tad extra jiggle on her body as she showed off her ‘muffin top’ on Twitter.

The 38-year-old star drew attention to the sides of her stomach and back by sharing a picture of herself during a photo shoot.

She told over 7.2 million followers on the micro-blogging website: ‘Check the juicy muffintop on my back! #AssMaintainence #PerfectIsBoring’

In the shot, Banks flaunts her midriff in a pair of blue jeans with a co-ordinating denim top which is tied at the top of her waist.

"I hit him in the face...I was shaking him, kicking him, scratching his face, pushing and shoving him...I was out of my head on tranquillisers, drinking & smoking 20 a day."

It was a situation that Cheryl Cole probably thought she'd never find herself in, but the singer has revealed she went for a sexual health check following her ex-husbands infidelities.

Admitting that the whole experience was traumatic, Cheryl explains her reasons for doing so in her new autobiography, Cheryl: My Story.

In an exclusive look at the upcoming book, The Sun have reported that Cheryl was being 'chased by the paparazzi everywhere' even when she went to the clinic to get herself checked out.

'I had to face the fact that Ashley's infidelity had been putting me at risk for a long time, and I had to put my mind at rest,' she wrote in the book.

Luckily, the Girls Aloud star was given the all clear, but she admits that her 'emotional health' was still very much damaged.

In her own words, Cheryl describes the very first moment that she learned of Ashley's cheating and how she dealt with it in the days, weeks and months following the revelations.

The 29-year-old star first heard of the allegations from head of publicity at record company Polydor.

Chloë Sevigny was spotted front row with Big Love co-star Amanda Seyfried, Dianna Agron, Emma Stone and Grace Coddington at Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 2013 Show at Paris Fashion Week earlier this week. Fashionista.com caught up with Chloë to talk about her recent modeling gig for the Miu Miu Fall/Winter collection.

What’s it like to be the face of Miu Miu again?
I’m a huge fan of Miuccia and what she does in the fashion world and the empire that she’s created and, I was just flattered when they asked me again 16 years later. I was surprised! I saw the collection and they told me a bit about the concept for the campaign and, well, who’s it going to hurt? No one.

How was it different from shooting the first campaign?
Well the first time I was really young and inexperienced and it was with Juergen [Teller] so it was much more naturalistic and this campaign was with Mert and Marcus, it was highly stylized and it felt like a bigger machine, you know? A little more glamour, [laughs] a little more make up.

"If we have sex, we’re going to be in a relationship. I have to know that I’ve either fallen in love or I can fall in love with this man before I take that step."

After a difficult year in the spotlight that involved having to go to court over her leaked sex tape, she has finally found happiness without a man.

“I am personally really reserved when it comes to sex. I want to save it for something special. My wish is that men would start thinking like that as well, rather than women thinking like men. I’m all about equality. I need to find someone who sees me as his equal and respects me the same way as he would his mate.”

“My friend Bill O’Reilly is full of shit” Stewart said at the start of his introductory remarks, helping set the tone.

Octavia Spencer thinks TV news anchor Jennifer Livingston did the right thing by speaking out against a viewer who criticized her weight.

However, the Oscar winner isn't quite convinced that Livingston was actually bullied.

"She stood up for herself and I appreciate that," Spencer said last night at GLSEN's Respect Awards in Beverly Hills. "I don't necessarily know that it was bullying."

Spencer recently wrote and directed a short film about the topic inspired by Rudyard Kipling's poem, "If." "It's about a young boy who has to face down bullying every day at school but he doesn't let that get him down," she said. "He perseveres and turns into a man with great honor and achievement."

The Help star warned that being criticized and "facing coercion or physical repercussions on a daily basis" are two "very different" things.

"I think we have to be very careful about using and overusing the term because we desensitize ourselves to it," Spencer said.

Livingston told E! News exclusively yesterday that she doesn't consider herself a "bullying expert," but said that she's glad the controversy "sparked an important conversation about bullying."

Doug, 51, said, “This is my child, I’m raising my wife.”

Courtney says she often calls Doug, "Dad".

Courtney Stodden’s first reality show Couples Therapy is finally here and right off the bat she and her husband Doug Hutchison clash with the other couples and she even gets called “trash” by The Dirty founder Nik Richie.

“You look very uncomfortable, which is kind of sad, Courtney said to Nik’s wife Shayne Lamas, who snapped right back at her “I’m only uncomfortable when I see somebody trying to put on a show.”

“Of course, she’s the trash all over the internet,” Nik replied. Quick to defend his teen bride, Doug raised to his feet and confronted the man, saying: 'Did you just call my wife trash?'

Former Housewife of New York star Alex McCord had to get in between the two men to prevent them from getting physical with each other.

'Courtney was just a creepy overtly sexual person. She wouldn’t open up and that’s what bothered a lot of us.', Richie, 33, told The Daily Beast website.

'Obviously there’s something there. Why does this person crave so much attention? Why is this person so sexual at 17? Why is she wearing stripper clothes? I personally think they were there for the wrong reasons. They want to be famous and they’re getting the most out of it.'

Another awkward moment happened when Doug, 51, was asked if he had any children and Courtney, now 18, piped up with “Me,” and Doug said “This is my child, I’m raising my wife.”

I call him "Dad" instead of "Doug" sometimes, the teen quipped.

Facebook has warned users that the creation of offensive tribute groups will not be tolerated.

The social network's director of policy Simon Milner said that the site's terms and conditions are clear on the matter and vowed to take action against members who engage in such acts.

Milner's comments come in the wake of the arrest of a Facebook troll who created a group paying tribute to a man accused of shooting two Manchester police officers dead.

Facebook this week introduced a system to help users report offensive content on the network. The new 'Support Dashboard' will also help the site's moderators tackle bullying and abuse.

"Only a small minority of our users ever report problems," The Telegraph quotes Milner as saying. "This will just increase transparency around how we respond to those that do."

Joss Whedon's highly-anticipated followup to this year's highest-grossing film, Marvel's The Avengers, is a couple years away from commencing production. However, the praised writer-director knows “one or two” new characters that will be added to superhero team's roster.

And the U.K. newspaper has even listed two familiar names supposedly competing for the big role.


“Meanwhile, British actresses Emily Blunt and Ruth Wilson are head-to-head in a race for the most sought-after new female role in Hollywood. Emily, 29, and Ruth, 30, are both hotly tipped to play superhero Ms. Marvel in Avengers 2, the sequel to Avengers Assemble.”

Music's 15 Worst TV Cameos Ever

With Adam Levine joining "American Horror Story," Miley Cyrus appearing on "Two and a Half Men," and Justin Bieber swinging by for a cameo on "The Simpsons," this fall TV season is going to be overwhelmed with musicians. Even Adam Lambert is returning to television -- for the "Pretty Little Liars" Halloween special -- and Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody will be showing up on the next "Game of Thrones" season.

                                     

In honor of a fall schedule filled with music and TV crossovers, we've put together a list of the most painful small screen transitions that musicians have ever made. From Pete Wentz's time on "One Tree Hill," to Usher's minute on "Sabrina," to Britney Spears' one-off on "Glee," here are the 15 musical cameos that go down in history as TV's worst.

Diverse faces are getting juicier parts on TV, but they still play follow-the-leader when it comes to starring roles.



Last time you went to a clinic, chances were good that your primary doctor was of South Asian descent -- unless you happened to check into a TV hospital.

Fox's "The Mindy Project," a new sitcom about a lovesick ob/gyn, is the first series on broadcast television to feature an Indian-American in the lead role, a milestone that writer/star Mindy Kaling does her best to downplay.

"There's a saying that I really believe in when it comes to my 'Indianness,'" said "The Office" veteran. "I try not to rely on it nor deny it."

What Kaling and the rest of Hollywood can't deny is that the industry has made little progress in putting minority actors in leading roles.

While there's a steady stream of great minority character actors playing diner owners, community-college students and even physicists, they rarely get to be the star. The only returning broadcast shows with that distinction are ABC's "Scandal," featuring Kerry Washington, and CW's low-rated "Nikita," with Maggie Q.

Same song and dance we've been watching since the 70's, tbh. Can you really say 'The Mindy Project" is somehow a huge leap forward from when Margaret Cho helmed "American Girl" ~15 years ago? That any of this is an improvement from the state of affairs when 'The Jeffersons' or 'The Cosby Show' were actual shows? Or 'Roots' had a gazillionty viewers? Or anything in Nickelodeon's late-night lineup?

One step forward, two steps back.

Gay divorcee Kim Kardashian is still technically married to Kris Humphries, but that hasn't stopped her from planning her next trip down the aisle.

In an interview with Tatler Magazine, Kim implies that her inevitable wedding to Kanye West won't be televised.

"It had always been my dream to have a big wedding, and when people said that I'd made it over the top for [Keeping Up with The Kardashians], that was just me — I am over the top. But the next time, I want to do it on an island with just my friends and family and that's it."

Of course, "friends and family" could include camera crews. They've already been around for so many of the Kardashians' ups and downs.

At the same time, we know that Kim and Kanye both hate attention.

Ever the romantic, Kim believes this relationship is her last.

"It's so nice to have a best friend in this game who understands everything you're going through."

Could this marriage make it past the 72-day mark? Let's cross that bridge when we come to it.

IT’S A SUNNY FRIDAY morning when I arrive in Marylebone, London. In the shabby-chic drawing room of a Georgian townhouse, Chris Hemsworth is striking a pose. As the final shutter clicks, and the shoot wraps up ahead of schedule – a testimony, if ever there was one, to the actor’s easygoing nature – Hemsworth thanks the crew before heading off to an adjacent room to get changed.

A moment later, he’s back. Dressed in grey T-shirt and jeans, with a pair of Ray-Bans tucked into the neck of his shirt, he looks younger than his 29 years. Life is evidently treating him well; earlier this year, he and his wife, Elsa Pataky, became parents for the first time, to a baby girl named India Rose. During the course of our chat, he beams at the mention of her, and a note of awe enters his voice.

For a man best known for his role as the cape-wearing, bicep-flexing, hammer-wielding superhero-god Thor, Hemsworth is surprisingly chilled. Born in Melbourne in 1983, Hemsworth moved with his family around Australia before settling on Phillip Island, off the coast of Victoria. There, he grew up as the middle of three brothers, hanging out and surfing in his free time. Today, with both his older brother (Luke) and his younger brother (Liam) working as actors, the bond between the siblings is stronger than ever. In fact, covers for Prestige Hong Kong are becoming somewhat of a family affair, as Liam’s dapper turn for the May issue will attest.

But back to the man in question. For this Hemsworth, the road to global stardom was paved with classic Australian television – most notably, Neighbours and Home and Away. It wasn’t until his short but memorable appearance as George Kirk in 2009’s Star Trek that Hollywood came knocking in earnest. From there, it was a matter of honing his craft by working alongside veteran film actors such as Sean Bean (Ca$h) and Milla Jovovich (A Perfect Getaway), before landing his break-out part as Thor in 2011.

Shortly before the release of Thor, Hemsworth noted in an interview that he “went from being recognised in Australia, to being a fresh face in America, and for now there’s that calm-before-the-storm feeling”. Given the subsequent success of Avengers Assembleand Snow White and the Huntsman, and with Rush, Red Dawn and Thor: The Dark Worldall coming out next year, it would be safe to say the storm has broken.

All the behind-the-scenes reports on this film are maybe more interesting than the film itself, or at least give you some idea of just how much of a spectacle it is.

From yesterday's post on the battle between Nicole Kidman and director Lee Daniels over her character's use of the N-word, to this post revealing that Oprah Winfrey was initially offered the role that would eventually go to Macy Gray, that of maid Anita, Winfrey turned it down.

And even though he may have been disappointed by her rejection, Daniels now says that it was probably for the best, because, in thinking about what Oprah would've had to do, like masturbating on a floor, he now sees that Gray was better suited for what he was going for, stating, while doing press for the film, “everybody has [their] own interpretation. She would have played it very stoic, you know, something very different. I think Macy Gray was the right choice after all.”

And with regards to his representation of a maid in the film, Daniels said that he wanted his depiction of a maid to challenge those portrayed by Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer in The Help, adding, “I just didn't think that the maids were right [in The Help], because I had so many family members that were maids. I really wanted to tell my version.”

"I have a Wonder Member...a Wonder Piece...a Wonder Johnson."

While he’s doing the interview circuit, Ben is fielding a lot of questions about his wife Jennifer’s Garner’s comment on Ellen that he has “wonder sperm,” and can just look at her and get her pregnant.

We previously saw an hilarious clip from Access Hollywood of Ben being blindsided by the “wonder sperm” question. He got flustered and it was obvious that his wife hadn’t told him ahead of time that she said that.

In an new appearance on The Tonight Show, Ben told the whole wonder sperm story, and admitted that he had no idea about his wife’s comment until he hit the press circuit and was asked about it repeatedly.

“What she meant was ‘wonder member,’” Ben said sheepishly. The Argo actor/director continued to drive the point, saying, “I have a ‘wonder piece’ — a ‘wonder johnson’ … I’m trying to do it on TV. You know what I mean? It’s a PG [show].”

Fan fiction allows teenagers to explore their sexuality freely

Far from being overheated schoolgirl fantasy, fan fiction is an inventive antidote to a PR-obsessed entertainment industry

Next month, 16-year-old Emily Barker publishes her first novel, Loving the Band. Barker was commissioned by Penguin to write the book after it discovered her One Direction fan fiction. Fan fiction is a craze that's almost as old as the web itself, but is currently in the spotlight because EL James admitted she started out writing Twilight fan fiction before she changed the names Bella and Edward to Anastasia and Christian Grey and ended up writing the most successful sex book since Purple Ronnie's Guide to Doing It. Publishers believe they have found the next big thing in Barker's tales of boyband trysts.

For those who still read proper books, fan fiction – particularly its romance-heavy strand slash fiction – is a self-publishing phenomenon where amateur authors and tween pop superfans write sexy stories about the celebrities they are obsessed with. It's a dark genre where Justin Bieber and Draco Malfoy canoodle on a moonlit Quidditch pitch and the members of One Direction like to five-way spoon. ( Collapse )

Michael Vick has a new dog. Or very bad snacks.

Long before Sunday's first kick-off, the Internet lit up with amateur online sleuths dissecting a photo that Eagles quarterback Michael Vick tweeted Thursday. In it, Vick (well, the back of what looks like Vick's head) and his daughter share a homework night around the dinner table, she with worksheets, daddy with an iPad watching game film.

But a sharp-eyed radio host in Philadelphia noticed that on the table was an open box of Milk-Bone dog biscuits.

Vick, of course, became among the most widely hated athletes in history with his arrest for running and participating in a barbaric dog-fighting ring in 2007. Vick served 21 months in prison before returning to the NFL in 2010 and being named Comeback Player of the Year.

He has since spent significant amounts of his own time and money advocating for anti-cruelty and anti-dog fighting campaigns, including lobbying for a federal law that would make just watching a fight a crime and bringing a child to one a felony.

Still, Vick remains a hated symbol to many and still draws venomous reaction whenever he appears in the public eye.

Minutes after the Milk-Bone tweet appeared, it was removed and replaced with a Milk-Bone-less picture, though Vick's daughter's notebook was still visible with what appear to be glued-on pictures of dogs on the cover. Adding to the mystery is Vick's iPad, which appears blurred, as if someone didn't want a secret to get out. Whoops.

Sam Greisman, 24, introduced his mom, who confided his coming out had been bumpy: “[ Sam's] journey to allow himself to be what nature intended him to be was not an easy one,” but “finally at 20, long after he beat the crap out of his brothers at tennis and he knew more than anyone about basketball, he was finally able to stand up proudly and say: ‘I am a gay man.’”
Gracious as ever, Field also thanked the assembled activists for their service to the community and to her son: “You all have fought for him as surely as you were one of his parents,” she said. “You’ve changed and are changing the lives of little boys and girls who realized somewhere along the way they’re just different from their other brothers and sisters. And so the fuck what?”

We like you, Sally Field. We really, really like you!
