Women of TV Strip Down For Vanity Fair

Vanity Fair pays tribute to the women of TV in its new issue.

Allow us to thank you personally for this tribute, Vanity Fair.

In the fold-out spread, Emily Deschanel (Bones), Archie Punjabi (The Good Wife), Grace Park (Hawaii Five-O), Kerry Washington (Scandal), Kat Dennings (2 Broke Girls), Emmy Rossum (Shameless) and Emily VanCamp (Revenge) pose in lingerie:

The revealing apparel worn by some of these ladies is eye-opening, though in Rossum's case, she's often shown in a lot less on Shameless. So it's no thing.

Meanwhile, another quartet of additional beautiful, talented women - Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife), Claire Danes (Homeland), Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) and Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) - grace the May cover.

Khloe Kardashian Kovers Kosmo Sex Issue, Talks Naked Cooking

Khloe Kardashian covers the Sex Issue of Cosmopolitan this month, which is funny for two reasons:

1. Isn't every issue of Cosmopolitan the Sex Issue?
2. Is Khloe Kardashian the first person you think of - heck, the first person you think of in her own family - when you think of sex?

In an interview with the publication, the reality star dishes on everything from weigh gain to naked cooking. Read on a few excerpts:

On Kris Jenner, Momager: “Listen, my mom believes in us more than we believe in ourselves. But she is also our manager and trying to protect our brand. She’ll say, ‘Oh, you’re a little too fat right now.’ If she were just my manager, I’d have fired her right then. You can’t talk to me like that.”

What kind gestures does she perform for husband Lamar Odom? "I cook for him naked."

Will she ever be a mother? "Lamar and I definitely want kids, and when it happens for us, it will happen."

Sunny Oglesby: Pregnant By Levi Johnston!

Sunny Oglesby is pregnant with her first child, according to reports. Say what you will about Palin family tormenter Levi Johnston, but his boys can swim!
Oglesby, a 20-year-old school teacher from Wasilla, Alaska, has been quietly dating Levi for just over a year, and is in the very early stages of pregnancy.
Sunny is pregnant, but isn't showing yet, which may be why Levi hasn't told Bristol Palin, the first girl he impregnated back in the day, the joyous news.

Levi has told his friends, and everyone else who will listen, that Sarah and Todd Palin have completely alienated him from his son Tripp, and he barely sees him.
He says that Sarah and Todd have lied to him, telling him Bristol Palin and Tripp were out of town when they were not, and do all they can to ostracize him.
As a result, Levi Johnston is "so excited" about starting a new family, and wouldn't you be? Sarah Palin won't be involved! It's always Sunny in his life now.
Congratulations to the parents-to-be!

Rihanna Pushes to Play Whitney Houston on the Big Screen

She's a woman of many different looks, but could one of them be a version of Whitney Houston?

Rihanna thinks so. Rihanna hopes so. With rumors swirling that a Whitney biopic is in the works, the singer made it clear in an interview with The Press Association this week that she'd love to take on the iconic big screen challenge.

"That would be something that I would have to give my entire life to do because I would want to really pull it off," Rihanna said. "That's a huge, huge role and whoever does it has to do a good job."

Added Rihanna, who is reportedly being considered for the role, along with Jordin Sparks, Jennifer Hudson and others:

"My first song that I remember falling in love with was a Whitney Houston song - 'I Will Always Love You.' It was really inspiring and it made me develop a passion for music, so really she's partly responsible for me being here in this industry."

Rihanna will make her big screen debut this month in Battleship, which opens on April 11. Do you think she'd do Whitney proud in a movie version of Houston's life?

Dancing With the Stars Week 3 Scores: Who Was the Best?

The 11 remaining contestants on Dancing With the Stars' 14th season brought it again tonight in the third week of competition. Who stood out on the parquet?

One week ago, we bid farewell to Martina Navratilova, who finished at the bottom of the standings in each of the first two weeks. Not much controversy there.

Monday, you knew the scores were likely to tighten up a bit. And they did.

Coming into the third night of performances, the leaders (Jaleel White, William Levy and Katherine Jenkins) looked to bolster their frontrunner status.

The middle of the pack (Maria Menounos, Donald Driver, Sherri Shepherd, Jack Wagner) looked to make a love, while the rest just tried to stay safe.

Were they able to do meet those goals, or were there big shakeups?

Amazingly, the judges busted out the 10 paddles already, no one finished with fewer than 24 points, and Len called the whole thing awesome. Really!

There is a FIVE-way tie for last, with two additional teams just one point better, and no team fewer than five off the pace - set by the lovely Jenkins.

In short, tonight's elimination should be very, very interesting.

The Trayvon Martin Case: 10 Things You Need To Know

Three weeks ago, an unarmed 17yr old, Trayvon Martin was shot in a gated subdivision in Sanford, outside Orlando. He'd been visiting his father after getting suspended from school. Zimmerman, whose family says is Hispanic but whom police have described as white, was not arrested. He claimed self-defense. The 10 things you need to know about the Martin case wthat has fury spreading all over America..

1. This Is Trayvon Martin
Trayvon Martin was a 17-year-old from Miami Gardens, Florida. His parents were separated and he lived with his mother, Sybrina Fulton. His father, Tracy Martin, lives in Sanford, Florida. Trayvon is described by his parents as a hero. "At the
age of nine, Trayvon pulled

 his father from a burning kitchen, saving his life," said Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin in a joint statement. "He loved sports and horseback riding. At only 17 he had a bright future ahead of him with dreams of attending college and becoming an aviation mechanic."


2. George Zimmerman
George Zimmerman is a 28-year-old resident of Sanford, Florida, where Trayvon Martin's father, Tracy Martin, is also a resident. Zimmerman was a self-appointed neighborhood watchman who had called the Sanford 911 nearly 50 times since January 2011 to report suspicious behavior. He himself has had run-ins with the law, including an arrest in 2005 for assaulting a law enforcement officer (where the mugshot above was taken) and allegations of domestic violence.

3. The Night Of February 26th

Trayvon Martin was visiting his father in Sanford, Florida on the evening of February, 26th, 2012. They were watching the NBA All Star game at his father's girlfriend's home when Trayvon decided to go to the local 7-11 and buy some snacks for everyone. Trayvon purchased Skittles and Arizona Iced Tea.

4. The Walk Home

It was a rainy night on February, 26th. Trayvon was wearing a hoodie as he headed back from the 7-11. His path took him by the gated community of Twin Lakes, where George Zimmerman lived.

5. The 911 Call

Zimmerman spots Trayvon and begins following him in his car. Zimmerman calls 911 and is told not to pursue. Zimmerman ignores the dispatcher and gets out of his car to confront Trayvon. In the same phone call, Zimmerman utters something under his breath that some have interpreted as the racial slur "coon." Others claim he is saying "punk." Zimmerman is armed with a 9mm semiautomatic handgun.

6. The Call To His Girlfriend

Trayvon realized he was being followed by Zimmerman while he was on the phone with his girlfriend. “He said this man was watching him, so he put his hoodie on. He said he lost the man,” said his 16-year-old girlfriend (who, as a minor, has not been identified). “I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast. I told him to run but he said he was not going to run. Trayvon said, ‘What are you following me for,’ and the man said, ‘What are you doing here.’ Next thing I hear is somebody pushing, and somebody pushed Trayvon because the headset just fell. I called him again and he didn’t answer the phone.”

7. A Shot Is Fired

911 is inundated with phone calls from the Twin Lakes neighborhood describing an altercation. In one call, you can hear screams followed by a shot. The screams stop. Trayvon Martin has been killed by a gunshot to the chest. He is only 70 yards from his father's girlfriend's home.

8. "Stand Your Ground" Law

Even though Zimmerman confessed to shooting Trayvon, who was unarmed, he has not been charged with any crime. Zimmerman is being shielded by Florida's Stand Your Ground Law, which gives wide latitude to homicide in the name of self-defense. Since Zimmerman claims he felt threatened and was partially bloodied in the altercation, Sanford police claim they have no grounds for an arrest.

9. The Federal Government Steps In

Following widespread condemnation of how the Sanford police handled the case, the Justice Department has announced it will launch its own investigation into the death of Trayvon Martin, and a grand jury is being called by authorities in Florida. The Sanford City Commission voted 3-2 that it had no confidence in the Sanford Police Chief.

10. Rallies And Protests

Tracy Martin, father of Trayvon Martin, and Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon Martin's mother, join a protest called A Million Hoodies March to demand justice for their son's death in New York City. The Million Hoodies March is only one of many rallies that have sprung up around the country calling for further action in what many, including Trayvon's parents, believe is a racially motivated killing.

VIDEO: Whitney Houston's 'Sparkle' Trailer Debuts, You Gotta Love This.. *Wipes Tears

SOURCE: The trailer for Whitney Houston's "Sparkle" debuted Monday (April 2), giving fans a sneak peek at the singer/actress' final performance.

The first glimpse of Houston in the trailer shows her character, Emma, dancing to the Motown music her daughters are playing in the living room, sung by Cee Lo Green.

Houston jokes, "Yeah, y'all like that, huh? Makes you want to dance, huh? I'm going to get it and you will too. Keep dancing like that, you'll bring home some kid you can't feed." The humor continues as her daughters
jump into bed together to hide from Emma after arriving home after their curfew. "My babies," she says. "I know y'all don't love each other that much."

Read more on this and watch video after the jump
As the trailer progresses, the comedy dims and the weight of fame takes its toll. On the precipice of getting a record deal, Emma is hesitant to let her daughters pursue music as a career. She says, "Was my life not enough of a cautionary tale for you?" And while the sisters cope with the spotlight, one deals with an abusive marriage that may force her to.. abandon her dream.

The trailer shows a preview of a performance that will leave fans amazed, while at the same time feeling the great loss the music industry suffered with Houston's death.

The movie centers on three talented sisters who deal with the struggles of fame after they form a musical group. Houston not only starred in the remake of the 1976 Irene Cara film, but was executive producer as well. 

Jordin Sparks stars as Sparkle Williams, the title role. "Even before she passed I wanted to be able to represent this movie in a way that would honor her and respect her, because she worked so hard on it. With her passing, it's definitely been a lot more pressure." From the looks of the trailer, she has nothing to be nervous about. We think Whitney Houston would've been very proud.

Kate Winslet: Leonardo DiCaprio Is ‘Fatter’ Since ‘Titanic’

Kate Winslet has done it again. Just days after she revealed that hearing the theme from "Titanic" — Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" — makes her want to "throw up," the actress has made another verbal blunder. In an interview with iTV's "Daybreak" to promote "Titanic 3-D," she was asked how she and co-star Leonardo DiCaprio have changed since the original film's 1997 release and she was quite frank in her answer. "We do look very different, we're older," Winslet explained. "Leo's 37, I'm 36 — we were 21 and 22 when we made that film. You know, he's fatter now — I'm thinner."

The Oscar-winning actress famously struggled with her weight for years post-Titanic as one of the few healthy-framed stars in skinny-minded Hollywood. The teasing goes as far back as her childhood, when she says other kids would call her "blubber." "When I was Winslet and DiCaprio in Titanic 15 years ago. (Everett Collection)heavy, people would say to me — and it was such a backhanded comment — they would say, 'You've got such a beautiful face,' in the way of, like, 'Oh, isn't it a shame that from the neck down you're questionable,'" Winslet told Glamour in March. Now, she says she maintains her weight with workout DVDs, running, and Pilates.
Seeing herself from the "Titanic" era on the big screen again was not a pleasant experience for Winslet, who played Rose to DiCaprio's Jack. After watching just 17 minutes of the 3-D version, "I was literally like, 'Oh my God, make it stop! Is that me? Oh my God, that's me. Block my ears, somebody!" she also told iTV. "'Somebody club out my senses. Make it f---king stop!'"

I"I Will Give My Entire Life To Play Whitney Houston" - Rihanna On Biopic For The Late Singer

If the opportunity ever presented itself, Rihanna is hoping to make it known she would "love" the chance to play Whitney Houston in a biopic based on the singer's life.

Opening up to The Press Association, Rihanna, 24, discussed her attachment to the legendary vocalist, who died tragically on February 11 at the age of 48.

PHOTOS: Remembering Whitney

"My first song that I remember falling love with was a Whitney Houston song: 'I Will Always Love You,'" Rihanna shared. "It was really inspiring and it made me develop a passion for music, so really, she's partly responsible for me being here in this industry."

The "We Found Love" singer added she understands the type of commitment needed to undertake such a meaningful part.

"That would be something that I would have to give my entire life to do, because I would really want to pull it off," Rihanna told reporters. "That's a huge, huge role and whoever does it has to do a good job."

Rihanna is slated to make her big screen debut next month when Battleship (also starring Alexander Skarsgard and Brooklyn Decker) hits theaters.

Charlize Theron Sex Tape Surprisingly Funny

James Devaney/WireImageYou won't see Meryl Streep doing this. Oscar-winner Charlize Theron made a secret sex tape on her cell phone that was hacked and uploaded to the Web. But hold your horses, folks. It's all a ruse, and a very funny one at that. The clip was made for April Fools' Day and is actually a skit for Funny or Die. Theron looks into the camera and says, "Oh my God, I'm so nervous. I've never made a sex tape before. I hope nobody sees this who's not supposed to see this."

Theron, 36, then turns on creepy "Eyes Wide Shut"-type music and says, "Move over Paris and Kim. 'Cause I'm gonna do some real kinky s***." The camera pans over to two leather masked men with mouth gags being ordered by Charlize to "dance." It gets weirder/funnier from there. Theron tosses "scolding hot milk" on the men, who writhe in "pain." Of course, it's all a joke. No leather daddies were harmed in the making of this movie.

The entire thing is completely insane and sure to be incredibly buzzy.

But the joke doesn't end there. Theron posted a response to the "hacking" in which she says, "Yes, these are authentic Charlize Theron cell-phone videos. Let there be no doubt, Funny or Die is behind all of it. This web site is an enemy to smoking hot actresses everywhere." She ends with a warning to viewers. "Funny or Die will steal your phone and display your junk and bits."
