Jenny McCarthy to Be Featured Naked in Playboy for One More Time

 Jenny McCarthy will have one of her wishes come true. The blonde bombshell will be stripping down for Playboy one more time before she turns four decades old. A representative for the adult magazine has just confirmed that she will be featured on the July/August cover and have a nude pictorial inside its pages.

The double issue featuring McCarthy will hit newsstands across the United States Friday, June 29. The photo spread came nearly 20 years after the "Love in the Wild" host first posed in the buff for the magazine in 1993. She was, at the time, paid $20,000, and went on to earn the Playmate of the Year title that same year.

Back in 2009, McCarthy admitted in an interview that she would love to pose for the magazine again before turning 40. "I would absolutely pose for Playboy," she said at the time. "I would be so flattered if they asked me. It's probably not going to happen but I think I want to do it again."

Nude spread aside, McCarthy has recently shared story about her son's first visit to the Playboy Mansion for an Easter Bunny hunt. Speaking to Us Weekly in April, she recalled finding her boy hanging out in the infamous Grotto after losing him for "probably 45 minutes". She said, "I'm like, 'Oh. My. God! He's 9!' So you can imagine, if [Hugh] Hef[ner]'s parties are still going on in a few years, I'm in trouble!"

The fashionable pop sensation debuted the one-sheet via Twitter along with a message that read, "So happy to share with you the official #KP3D movie poster...from a hairbrush to a headliner...get ready, JULY 5TH!"

The colorful poster itself features the "E.T." hitmaker as an ordinary girl who sings on a hairbrush in front of a mirror, which reflects herself as a superstar who takes the stage while getting showered with confetti. It also has a tagline that reads, "Be Yourself and You Can Be Anything."

Perry once explained to MTV about her upcoming movie, "This film, you're going to see it from my best friend/buddy perspective, you're going to see exactly what I mean and feel and think about everything."

As for the 3D sequence, the 27-year-old star gushed, "Listen, I've [worked on] most of this film for a very long time and the word 'cheap' was not in the vocabulary. But, hello, it's 3D. You're going to get hit with a lot of s***."

Vidya Balan wants to work with Hrithik Roshan, Shahrukh Khan

 After giving solo blockbusters “The Dirty Picture” and “Kahaani”, Vidya Balan has draw up a wish list of male co-stars. She wants to work with actors like Abhishek Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Prosenjit Chatterjee.

“I would like to work with those who I have already worked with and those who I haven’t. I would love to pair with Abhishek (with whom she was seen in ‘Paa’)… It’s been long. I am very greedy to work with good actors and directors,” she said at the release of the DVD of her film “Kahaani” here Wednesday.

“Kahaani”, a thriller directed by Sujoy Ghosh, is about a pregnant woman’s difficult journey to find her husband’s killer.

The actress said she would like to work with Hritik because she hasn’t worked with him.

Talking about Bengali superstar Prosenjit, she said: “We have been wanting to work together for a long time. Every year there has been talks about a Bengali film but we have not been able to work out the dates. So this year, Sujoy has said he will make a film with both of us. We are on a lookout for a good script. If everything happens, we will make it work.”

Vidya said she would love to team up with Shah Rukh in a romantic flick.

“I think I grew up watching all his films where he plays the ultimate romantic hero. When you think of romance you think of Rajesh Khanna and Shah Rukh Khan. These are the names that are foremost on my mind.

“Every woman wants a Raj (SRK’s character in ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’). That’s why I have always wanted to work with him. Whenever we work together, I would like it to be a nice relationship story,” she said.

If “The Dirty Picture” is remade in Bengali with item girl Rakhi Sawant, how will the latter fare?

Vidya said: “I have seen Rakhi a lot, so I think she is a lot of masti. I am waiting to see what she does in the film.”

Eva Longoria Dazzles in Mermaid Gown at 'Moonrise Kingdom' Cannes Premiere

 "Moonrise Kingdom" might be led by movie beauty Kara Hayward, but it was Eva Longoria who stole the most attention when a screening event was held during the opening ceremony of the 65th Annual Cannes Film Festival. The Latin star looked stunning in a pale-pink mermaid-style gown.

Longoria graced the red carpet in a Marchesa embroidered gown that fitted down to the knee and flared into a long feathered train. The "Desperate Housewives" star completed her dazzling look by putting her hair in an up-do and carrying a matching clutch.

Another star who probably rivaled Longoria was Diane Kruger. The "Inglourious Basterds" actress rocked a Giambattista Valli Couture mint dress which has a long cape-like translucent material draping from her left shoulder. She finished off her gorgeous look by wearing her hair in a neat bun.

Though being overshadowed by the celebrity guests, Kara herself looked lovely wearing a Louis Vuitton tiered outfit and putting her hair in an up-do. Another female cast who was spotted at the event was Tilda Swinton. She donned a custom Haider Ackermann gown with a pleated, fanned bodice.

Other guests included Freida Pinto who wore a Michael Angel dress with a multi-colored bodice and pink thigh-high-split skirt, Jessica Chastain who opted for a light-pink Alexander McQueen low-cut gown, Lana Del Rey who chose a black Alberta Ferretti dress, and Jane Fonda who rocked a bronze Atelier Versace form-fitting number.

In the gentlemen department, Ewan McGregor, Bruce Willis, Alec Baldwin, Chris Pine and Edward Norton all looked sleek in their suits. Baldwin was accompanied by his fiancee Hilaria Thomas and was caught on camera carrying her up the stairs so that she wouldn't trip on her dress.

"Moonrise Kingdom" is set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965. It follows a young couple as they fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore, and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle. It is set to open in U.S. theaters on May 25.

Jenelle Evans Engaged to Gary Head Two Weeks After Boob Job

 Jenelle Evans has more reasons to be smiling these days. Just two weeks after going under the knife for a breast augmentation, the "Teen Mom 2" star announced on Twitter that she has gotten engaged to her on-again boyfriend, Gary Head. On Wednesday, May 16, she shared two photos of her engagement ring.

The first picture the 20-year-old reality star posted on her account is a close-up look at her new sparkler, while the second one captures her smiling as she shows off the bauble. In the caption of the second image, she expressed her joy as writing, "I'm the luckiest girl in the world to have @gary_head in my life."

While Evans didn't offer further details about when and how Head proposed to her, a close friend of hers told E! News that her boyfriend "surprised her on a Monday when she was dropping [her 3-year-old son] Jace off at her mom's and [proposed] there on one knee and all." Another source told Us Weekly that her ring is "a princess cut solitaire diamond."

Evans' engagement to Head comes just weeks after she broke up again with former flame Kieffer Delp. She got back with Delp during her brief split from Head in April. Delp was the one who accompanied Evans to the doctor's office when she underwent breast enlargement surgery on May 2. He was also the one who leaked nude photos of hers to the press.

As for her relationship with Head, Evans has been dating him on and off for over the past 5 months. The two broke up in early April, and at that time, the mother of one tweeted, "I'm very depressed. Me and Gary broke up for good." After accusing him of physical abuse, she trashed him in a video that sees her singing along angrily to Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' "Face Down".

Lady GaGa Shows Off New Meat Dress at Tokyo Concert

 Lady GaGa still has a thing for meat. The "Born This Way" singer debuted meat dress 2.0 during the performance of "Americano" at her Born This Way Ball concert in Tokyo, Japan.

On Monday, May 14, GaGa tweeted a photo taken by Terry Richardson of her wearing the dress and standing between fake animal carcasses. The new dress is less aggressive than the one she wore at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards with the corset and bubble skirt style.

GaGa's first dress was made of real beef slabs but this one is most likely fake. The original dress' designer Franc Fernandez recently told Forbes how the infamous dress put his name out there. "The meat dress was the turning point for me. When what we created together got so much attention. Wow, a piece of clothing attracted that much attention, positive and negative, wow that's f***ing crazy."

GaGa is next scheduled to perform in Taipei, Taiwan for two straight nights starting May 17. Her June 3 concert in Jakarta, Indonesia has been canceled due to opposition from Islamic organizations.

Robert Downey Jr. Is the Highest-Paid Star in 'The Avengers'

 Robert Downey Jr. reportedly is the highest-paid star in "The Avengers". The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the "Iron Man" actor seems to be the lone exception to Marvel Studios' strict cost controls since the thesp is set to pocket at least $50 million from the mega blockbuster movie.

Downey Jr.'s pay blows away the other "Avengers" stars' paychecks. It was said that Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo will all bag an estimated $2 million to $3 million from the movie. As for Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson, who signed agreements to appear in several Marvel films, are reported to be collecting twice of that.

Downey Jr. got the high wage because his reps had renegotiated a deal to include what is said to be "a slice of Marvel's revenue from the future movies in which he plays Iron Man." The deal was sealed when the first armored hero movie surprisingly scored a massive $585 million worldwide in 2008.

"The Avengers" has surpassed its $1 billion mark in less than 20 days. Should the superhero movie beat the $1.32 billion gross of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II", it will be the third highest grossing movie of all time, trailing behind James Cameron's "Avatar" ($2.8 billion) and "Titanic" ($2.2 billion).

As for Downey Jr., though he seems to grab a high fee from the Marvel movie, his income is apparently smaller than actors or directors in other blockbuster flicks. According to THR, Johnny Depp made at least $250 million from starring in four "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, while filmmaker Michael Bay took in $80 million from 2007's "Transformers" only.

Jennifer Lopez Not Sure If She'll Return to 'American Idol' Next Season

 Jennifer Lopez still has no idea about her future on "American Idol". Stopping by "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", the only female judge on the reality show hinted that she might not return to the upcoming season because she misses "doing other things."

"I enjoy it. I really do enjoy it. Now this is my second year," she told host Ellen DeGeneres. The 42-year-old mother of two quickly added, "I don't know if I can go for a third year. It really does lock you down."

The estranged wife of Marc Anthony further mentioned her children as the things that may affect her decision. "Now they're getting more mobile. They're about to go to school," she explained. "I just don't know. I don't know."

Met at another event, J.Lo was asked to comment on the newly announced "The X Factor (US)" judges, Britney Spears and Demi Lovato. "They're both more than capable to handle it," so she told Access Hollywood at the Los Angeles premiere of her new film "What to Expect When You're Expecting".

"I think they'll have a good time," she went on gushing. "It's fun - working with the singers and doing your thing and knowing what you're talking about from experience and they both have that."

Asked what Spears and Lovato need to do on the Simon Cowell-created show, the "Papi" hitmaker said, "You don't have to be tough. There's not one way to do that, reality TV, and those competition shows [are] about being yourself, it's about being your best self and I think that's the most important thing."

Possible Details of Two Superman's Action Scenes From 'Man of Steel'

 "Man of Steel" has yet to reveal its very first teaser, but possible details of two scenes from the Zack Snyder-directed Superman movie have been shared online. A source, who admitted to work as a visual effects supervisor, has posted the descriptions of the scenes on IMDb message board.

The source, who said to have worked for such movies as "After Earth", "Avatar", "Iron Man" and "Sin City", claimed to have seen two beta level clips during a VFX conference on Monday, May 14. The clips were included in a sizzle reel shown by Weta.

According to the source, the first clip is about 6-second long. It features Henry Cavill's Clark Kent grabbing a truck with a crying man inside it while flying through the eye of a tornado. The protagonist is described to be holding the truck with only one arm.

The other snippet, which is much longer, shows Superman in full costume having an argument with Michael Shannon's General Zod. During the verbal exchanges, Zod asks Superman in Kryptonian, "Do you know your native tongue, Kal-el?" Stunned, the superhero responds in English, "Who are you?"

While the two argue in the middle of Smallville, Christopher Meloni's Colonel Hardy is seen yelling at them through a megaphone. Standing next to a tank, he warns them that he will fire if they do not surrender. When Superman and Zod ignore his warning, Hardy curses and orders the tank to fire at them both.

Upon hearing Hardy's command, Superman turns to the tank, and Zod takes the opportunity to sucker punch the hero. But, when the tank starts firing, Superman gets in front of the supervillain and catches the exploding missile near his belly.

As flames from the explosion ripple around Superman's face, cape and eyes, the shrapnel hits him and bounces off. The same happens to Zod as well, but to a lesser extent. At the end of the clip, Hardy looks shocked when he sees the two men remain standing tall in the middle of a cloud of smoke.

"Man of Steel" is slated for a June 14, 2013 release in theaters across the United States. The DC Comics movie, which is co-produced by "The Dark Knight Rises" helmer Christopher Nolan, is also supported by Amy Adams, Russell Crowe, Ayelet Zorer, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane.

Kristen Stewart: It's Kind of Insane to Watch My Nude Scenes in 'On the Road'

 Kristen Stewart took some time to discuss her "On the Road" sex scene, which is said to be much more intense than her love scene with Robert Pattinson in "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part I". Speaking to MTV News, the 22-year-old beauty admitted that she "wasn't scared" when she has to expose nudity in the Walter Salles-directed drama.

In the movie, Stewart will appear in a number of nude scenes including a threesome between her and Garrett Hedlund as well as Sam Riley. Commenting on the love scene, the Los Angeles-born actress said, "It's kind of insane to watch now. I'm like, 'Who is that?' But I think - as every actress says when they do this is - it just felt so right."

The brunette beauty went on sharing, "It was so within a different world and so within a different environment that I don't even really feel - I mean, I am personally connected to it, of course - but it is something outside of myself." She added that she never regretted playing a sexually promiscuous character, stating, "I have kind of no qualms about it either. I think people are a little uptight."

In "On the Road", Stewart will play Marylou, a 16-year-old wife of Hedlund's Dean Moriarty. She is a free-spirited young lady who has an affinity for marijuana and sex. The actress confessed that director Salles had made her comfortable throughout the filming of the adult pic. "I felt so safe with Walter. Nothing was ever, ever about taking your clothes off," she said.

Based on a novel of the same title by famous Beat generation poet Jack Kerouac, "On the Road" is set to have its world premiere at the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival. Coincidentally, Pattinson's film "Cosmopolis" will also have its special screening at the festival.

Commenting on the potential competition between her film and Pattinson's, Stewart said, "It's such weird timing. I think if it was us or them. I think we'd take the cake." She added, "I haven't seen 'Cosmopolis' yet. I'm dying to see it. The first time I get to see it is actually in Cannes." Asked whose movie will be better, the actress enthused, "Mine!"

'Survivor: One World' Winner Is Kim Spradlin

 Kim Spradlin has been declared the Sole Survivor of "Survivor: One World" in the all-women finale. Being deemed a frontrunner, she beat out Sabrina Thompson and Chelsea Meissner after Alicia Rosa and Christina Cha were voted out earlier in the May 13 episode.

First, the five women were battling it out for an immunity in a challenge that included a race on a balance beam maze, a cargo net with puzzle pieces, and a puzzle that gave them numbers to a combination lock they had to open. Kim was the first one to complete it and secured her place in the final four. Alicia, meanwhile, was voted out 3-2 in the first Tribal Council.

Kim once again won the immunity in the final challenge, where there was a giant wire maze on a spring and the contestants must navigate 10 bowls through the maze and stacked them on top. In the Final Tribal Council, Christina was voted out 3-1.

The final three then made their cases to the jury, which consisted of eliminated contestants. Chelsea admitted Kim's the reason she was there, but claimed that they were strategically equal. Kim said she's proud of all her decisions because they proved to be the best move for her, and excused her cruelty by saying, "It's a game."

Sabrina said her strategy was trying to stay quiet. She admitted that she let Kim and Chelsea did all the thinking. She later tried to get the jury's sympathy by saying she just got fired from teaching inner-city school children.

After the jury delivered some words about the three finalists, they cast their votes. It was then revealed that Kim got the most votes with 7. The bridal shop owner walked away with the grand prize of $1 million. Sabrina was the runner up with 2 votes, while Chelsea got zero votes.

Box office update: 'Avengers' easily holds off 'Dark Shadows', scores gigantic $29.1 million Friday

 Sorry, Captain Jack, but Captain America isn’t ready to give up the top spot at the box office yet!

In its second weekend in theaters, The Avengers is still breaking records — this time, it’s headed for the best second weekend in box office history.
