Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Expecting a Baby

For those who care about either of these entertainers, Kanye West announced during a concert in Atlantic City on December 30th that he and reality TV celebrity Kim Kardashian are expecting a baby. No news as to when Kim is expected to deliver (although E! says Kardashian is about 12 weeks pregnant), or if there is a marriage somewhere in their future plans. There’s also no news as to what the name of the reality series that this upcoming bundle of joy will undoubtedly lead to.

Wouldn’t it be great if, for the remainder of her pregnancy, Kardashian kept out of the public spotlight? I’ll answer my own question. Yes, it would. However, given the marketing potential for a pregnant Kim, that’s not likely to happen.

After West broke the news to his fans, Kardashian posted this update on her official site:

“It’s true!! Kanye and I are expecting a baby. We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us. Looking forward to great new beginnings in 2013 and to starting a family. Happy New Year!!! Xo”

AnnaSophia Robb stars as a younger version of Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker in the hugely successful HBO series Sex and the City, in The Carrie Diaries. The one-hour drama delves into Carrie’s journey to become the woman audiences fell in love with in Sex and the City.

In addition to AnnaSophia Robb, season one stars Stefania Owen as Dorrit Bradshaw, Ellen Wong as Mouse, Katie Findlay as Maggie, Chloe Bridges as Donna, and Austin Butler as Sebastian. Brendan Dooling is Walt, Freema Agyeman is Larissa, and Matt Letscher is Tom.

The Carrie Diaries premieres on January 14, 2013.

The Plot: The Carrie Diaries takes place in 1984, where life is not easy for 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw. Since their mother passed away, Carrie’s younger sister Dorritt is more rebellious than ever, and their father Tom is overwhelmed with the responsibility of suddenly having to care for two teenage girls on his own.

Carrie’s friends – sweet, geeky Mouse, sarcastic and self-assured Maggie and sensitive Walt – make life bearable, but a suburban life in Connecticut isn’t doing much to take her mind off her troubles. And even though the arrival of a sexy new transfer student named Sebastian brings some excitement to Carrie’s world, she is struggling to move on from her grief. So when Tom offers Carrie the chance to intern at a law firm in Manhattan, she leaps at the chance.

Carrie’s eyes are opened wide at the glamour and grit of New York City – and when she meets Larissa, the style editor for Interview magazine, she’s inspired by the club culture and unique individuals that make up Larissa’s world. Carrie’s friends and family may have a big place in her heart, but she’s fallen in love for the first time with the most important man in her life – Manhattan.

Behind the Scenes: Keegan Allen on ‘Pretty Little Liars’

Do you miss spending time with ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars? Not to worry – the addictive series returns on January 8, 2013 at 8pm and to give you a little sneak peek at what you can expect, we chatted with Keegan Allen (‘Toby’) about his character and the upcoming episodes. But be warned, if you haven’t caught up on the series, this short Q&A does contain a spoiler.

 
So, now we know Toby isn’t the character he was portrayed to be all this time…
 
Keegan: “Now that the information has come out that Toby is also A, you will get a fun glimpse into the past. His character has been through so many ups and downs. People who have been watching since season one know that he has severe family issues and school torment and torture. He then came into himself and began the friendship with Emily and then found this beautiful relationship with Spencer…only to find out that he’s really not that person. He’s actually this phantasmic, dangerous person who is actually an enemy of these girls.”
 
What can we expect when the show comes back in January?
 
Keegan: “Life in Rosewood is really going to change. One of the girls is going to feel it more than the others. When the show returns, Mona is going to be cleared from Radley Sanitarium and she returns to high school. Nobody knows if she’s really cured or is completely insane and playing everybody. Within these next 11 episodes, A pushes all these girls to their breaking point… Spencer more so than the others. Being with Troian (Spencer) when she was shooting these episodes was amazing. I was stunned at where Troian takes this character. There’s a breaking point for Spencer; Emily is messed with a lot; Hanna has a lot of family issues of her own; Ezra also has some family issues that complicate things with Aria. Everything that has been building over the last couple of seasons comes crashing down in an extraordinary way.”
 
Will we finally learn how A always knows everything the girls do behind closed doors?
 
Keegan: “It’s hard to answer without giving too much away. We’ll see little ways where he was able to find out things. For example, in season two, episode 11, Spencer says meet me at the carnival and he, as A, texts her from a blocked number and later Toby tells her he’s sorry, he lost his phone. We’re dealing with more than one person in this team. A lot is really explained in season three and the finale is where it all comes to a head.”

First Look: ‘Dead Man Down’ Movie Trailer

Love the cast and director, but I hope the trailer isn’t giving away too much. Dead Man Down reunites the director and star of the Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for a thriller heading to theaters on March 8, 2013.

The Plot:

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo director Niels Arden Oplev and leading lady Noomi Rapace reunite for another thrilling tale of vengeance, with Colin Farrell joining the prestigious team as Victor, right hand man to an underground crime lord in New York City who is seduced and blackmailed by Beatrice (Rapace), a crime victim seeking retribution. Their intense chemistry leads them spiraling into payback delivered in violent catharsis.

And for those wondering, the song featured in the trailer is Kendra Morris’ cover of Pink Floyd’s “Shine On Your Crazy Diamond.”

New ‘Storage 24’ Redband Trailer

“In a place designed to keep things locked in…how do you get out?” Definitely not to be confused with Storage Wars, the horror film Storage 24 has released a new redband (not safe for work) trailer. Starring Colin O’Donoghue, Noel Clarke, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, and Laura Haddock, Storage 24 hits theaters and video on demand on January 11, 2013.

The Plot:

London is in chaos. A military cargo plane has crashed leaving its highly classified contents strewn across the city. Completely unaware London is in lockdown, Charlie and Shelley, accompanied by best friends Mar and Nikki, are at Storage 24 dividing up their possessions after a recent break-up. Suddenly, the power goes off.

Trapped in a dark maze of endless corridors, a mystery predator is hunting them one by one. In a place designed to keep things in, how do you get out?

Behind the Scenes of ‘Promised Land’

Co-writers/stars Matt Damon and John Krasinski, actress Frances McDormand, and producer Chris Moore discuss collaborating with director Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting) on the ‘fracking’ drama, Promised Land, in this behind the scenes video. Promised Land entered theaters in limited release on December 28, 2012 and will be opening in wider release on January 4th, 2013.

The Plot:

Matt Damon plays Steve Butler, an ace corporate salesman who is sent along with his partner, Sue Thomason (McDormand), to close a key rural town in his company’s expansion plans. With the town having been hit hard by the economic decline of recent years, the two outsiders see the local citizens as likely to accept their company’s offer, for drilling rights to their properties, as much-needed relief.

What seems like an easy job for the duo becomes complicated by the objection of a respected schoolteacher (Hal Holbrook) with support from a grassroots campaign led by another man (Krasinski), as well as the interest of a local woman (Rosemarie DeWitt). Promised Land explores America at the crossroads where big business and the strength of small-town community converge.

Well, E!’s Celeb of the Year has been named and the winner doesn’t exactly come as a big surprise. However, this could be his last year to reign as king of E!’s annual competition.

Five weeks ago, E! kicked off their celebrity popularity battle with 64 stars. And after all those weeks of voting, it came down to a head-to-head competition between two actors who play vampires: Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame and Ian Somerhalder from The CW’s The Vampire Diaries.

And the winner is…Taylor Lautner. Just kidding. Robert Pattinson won the tournament for the third year in a row.

You can now go about your life safe in the knowledge that E! and the legion of Pattinson fans have spoken and Rob continues to reign supreme.

Elijah Wood Gets Evil in ‘Maniac’ 6-Minute Video

Whoa…Elijah Wood as a killer? Who would have thought the fresh-faced actor best known for playing Frodo in three Lord of the Rings movies would turn up as a warped killer in the grizzly horror film Maniac? It’s definitely casting against type.

Maniac is a remake of the William Lustig thriller of the same name. This version is directed by Franck Khalfoun from a script by Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur (the High Tension writing team).

If you’ve got 13 minutes to spare, check out this collection of the best news bloopers from 2012. But be warned…there’s a sprinkling of bad (not safe for work) language throughout. My personal favorite is the news crew that has no idea the plane crash they’re covering isn’t real.
