First Look: Harrison Ford Looks Down on Asa Butterfield in 'Ender's Game'

First Look: Harrison Ford Looks Down on Asa Butterfield in 'Ender's Game'Harrison Ford looks down on Asa Butterfield in a first look photo of "Ender's Game". The veteran actor looks fierce in his portrayal of Colonel Hyram Graff complete with his sleek military uniform. The picture is taken in what appears to be a mess in Battle School, where Butterfield's titular character and his fellow young recruits are standing up in white pajamas. 

According to Entertainment Weekly, which publishes the pic, the scene in the image shows Ender facing off Graff over whether his emails to home are being blocked. The two characters are "clashing over communication," since they have "major communication issues with each other." 

In Orson Scott Card's award-winning novel, Graff is described as the man who trains the young recruits at an elite military academy. Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, meanwhile, is one of the chosen kids in the military program who soon becomes Earth's best hope to defeat the alien Formic race. 

Explaining the on-set chemistry between Ford and Butterfield, director Gavin Hood says, "The relationship between [Harrison] and Asa was very close, but he didn't overly befriend him off the set. He helped Asa by allowing that slight sense of intimidation to be there." 

To EW, Hood also opens up that there are some parts of the original book that have been changed in the movie. "I discussed this at length with Orson. The decision was made very early on to compress the time period into about a year, so that we could have the same actor from beginning to end," he dishes. 

"We were trying to hit that sweet spot right around 12, which Asa fits in very nicely," he goes on. "When you sit down for two hours, you're just beginning to bond with an actor, and then he changes and suddenly you're bonding with someone who's meant to be the same person, but you know he's a different actor." 

Still, Hood promises that he won't alter the ending based on Orson's novel. "That ending - and the complex moral questions that it raises - is one of the reasons why I love the book. I promise you that it is very much there," he says. 

"Ender's Game" is set in the near future when a hostile alien race have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander, Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Graff and the International Military are training only the best young children to find the future Mazer. Ender Wiggin, a shy, but strategically brilliant boy is pulled out of his school to join the elite. 

Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult war games, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military's next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he's trained by Mazer Rackham, himself, to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race. 

The sci-fier will arrive in the U.S. theaters on November 1, 2013.

Holly Madison Frightened When Hospitalized for Excessive Morning Sickness

Holly MadisonHolly Madison has opened up about her experience when she suffered from excessive morning sickness and had to be hospitalized. She admitted she was freaked out because morning sickness usually subsides after the first three months of pregnancy, while she's currently seven months pregnant. 

"When [the morning sickness] started happening really late [in the pregnancy] and I was really vomiting a lot during the day, it freaked me out," she said. "I was told to go to the doctor and get an IV and everything," the former host of "Holly's World" went on. "So, that was kind of scary to me just because it seemed like something so unusual...but everything's O.K. so far, so that's good." 

Holly only stayed briefly in the hospital. Though she's feeling better now, doctors reminded her that she wasn't allowed to overwork herself or she would be forced to lay on her bed. 

In August, the ex-girlfriend of Hugh Hefner announced that she and boyfriend Pasquale Rotella are expecting their first baby together which is due March 2013. Though they have already known that the baby is a girl, they haven't decided the name yet. 

"We actually have a lot of names we really like," the mother-to-be said. "So we're narrowing it down and I think we're going to wait until the day the baby comes and see what her vibe is and then pick one from there." 

Weighing in on Kate Middleton who is currently also pregnant, the blonde beauty suggested a name for the Duchess' baby, "I think everybody wants to see [the baby] named Diana if it's a girl. I think that would melt the hearts of the world." 

She also wished the British royal princess all the best. She said, "I wish her the best and I'm glad she's getting the best possible care and I'm super excited for her." Holly herself got well wishes from her ex and Playboy founder Hugh. 

According to ETOnline, the creator of "The Girls Next Door" recently tweeted, "I hope Holly Madison is feeling better after being hospitalized for morning sickness in the late stages of her pregnancy." The Playboy honcho added, "Love, Hef."

Report: Ariel Winter's Mom Tried to Leak Nude Pictures of Older Daughter Shanelle Gray

Ariel WinterThere's a new rumor circulating on the web that Ariel Winter's estranged mother Chrisoula Workman attempted to leak nude pictures of Shanelle Gray. She is Chris' older daughter who's granted temporary guardianship of the "Modern Family" star. 


A Hollywood publicist named Jonathan Hay testified to TMZ that he had been contacted by the mother in her effort to secretly release the pics which seemed to be taken years back. He refused her request because he felt she tried to "sell out her daughter" and make Shanelle look bad.

Ariel, 14, was removed from her family home in November on suspicion of emotional and physical abuses allegedly done by Chris. In her defense, the mother claimed Ariel was upset only because she was not allowed to continue her relationship with her 18-year-old boyfriend.

Amidst the family drama, Ariel's co-star Sarah Hyland showed her support for her "little sister." "I love her to death and try to talk to her every week at least [or] I try to text her because we haven't been working right now," she told E! News. "I just want the best for her. I'm just trying to watch out for her."

The case will be back in court later this month.

Twitter Attack Launched by Eminem's Daughter Against Taylor Swift Is Fake

Twitter Attack Launched by Eminem's Daughter Against Taylor Swift Is FakeEminem's manager Paul Rosenberg denied that the rapper's daughter Hailie Mathers launched a Twitter attack against Taylor Swift. On Tuesday, December 4, he confirmed that the tweets using Hailie's name were fake. 


Paul debunked the report as claiming that Hailie didn't have a Twitter account. He said, "......And this isn't real either: https://twitter.com/hailiejade_x never will be. Sorry."

Previously, someone using Hailie's name tweeted, "If @taylorswift13 is really dating the love of my life @harry_styles I will not be happy!" The person apparently didn't like that Taylor is dating One Direction's member, Harry Styles.

The tweep continued slamming the country music beauty, "Dear @taylorswift13, please stop whoring around with every guy you see. We all know you're only doing it so you can make another album." The fake Hailie added, "I am never, ever, everrrrr, listening to your music againnnn, @taylorswift13. LIKE EVER."

The person, who claimed to be the "I Need a Doctor" rapper's daughter, then apologized to Taylor, "Wow, I didn't mean for people to react to my tweet in the way that they have it was just a bit of fun! Sorry @taylorswift13 for my immaturity."

The fake Hailie seemed overwhelmed with media's attention to her/his Twitter rant. The impostor expressed her/his frustation, "I believe I'm entitled to my own opinion, but that got out of control. I don't understand why there are 'news' articles written about it!" The said Twitter account has now been shut down.

On May 1, Paul also released a similar statement to stress that Hailie didn't have a Twitter account. He said back then, "Again everyone, for the last time, Hailie does NOT have a Twitter account. Please stop asking if whatever account is real."

Anderson Cooper Temporarily Blinded When Filming in PortugalAnderson Cooper's work trip to Portugal to shoot a story for "60 Minutes" on a coast turned into a nightmare when the news anchor was blinded for 36 hours. The temporary blindness was caused by UV light, which glanced on the water.

The 45-year-old journalist further detailed the incident on "Anderson Live", "I wake up in the middle of the night and it feels like my eyes are on fire."

The "Anderson Cooper 360 Degrees" news anchor then joked, "That's my new Match.com profile picture, by the way." During the show, NBC's chief medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman told Anderson, "Fortunately for you you're going to be fine, but it's a real reminder."

New 'Jack Reacher' Clip: Tom Cruise Vs. Five Thugs

Tom CruiseTom Cruise is an unbeatable antihero in a new clip of "Jack Reacher". Released via IGN, the action-packed sneak peek shows Cruise's titular character being attacked by five thugs on the streets. He warns the baddies that they wouldn't want to mess with him, but those bad guys ignore the warning. Effortlessly, the protagonist takes down his enemies empty-handedly though in the end he gets misunderstood by the police. 

Reacher is a former military homicide investigator. He seeks the truth behind what seems to be an open-and-shut murder case after a trained military sniper is arrested for shooting five random victims. The action movie, which is directed by Christopher McQuarrie, is based on Lee Child's bestselling novel of the same name. 

According to McQuarrie, Reacher is "an extremely pragmatic, matter-of-fact person." He told Entertainment Weekly, "He's very solitary, but he can't walk away from a situation that needs to be made right. His own sense of right and wrong tie into that situation and he can't leave until it's been resolved. That's his Achilles heels." 

Also starring Rosamund Pike, David Oyelowo, Richard Jenkins, Alexia Fast, Robert Duvall and Jai Courtney, "Jack Reacher" is scheduled for a December 21 release in cinemas across the United States.

Harry Styles Spotted Leaving Taylor Swift's Hotel After Handholding Date Night

Harry Styles, One DirectionHarry Styles seemed to have spent the night with Taylor Swift at her Greenwich Hotel in New York City. The One Direction member was spotted leaving the building Tuesday morning, December 4 before his rumored girlfriend made her exit separately. 

Harry, 18, wore dark shades and a gray t-shirt. He also rocked the same black pants and brown shoes he donned the night when he went on an outing with his 22-year-old lady for an afterparty after One Direction's Madison Square Garden concert. 

Taylor, meanwhile, traded her little black dress with a warmer and comfy outfit that consisted of a blue jacket and a pair of brown pants. "There were no fans," an eyewitness told E! News, "just paparazzi." She was reportedly on her way to Cookshop restaurant to meet friends for lunch. 

The country/pop singer was not in attendance when her new beau performed with his band at MSG Monday night. She was dozen blocks away from the venue to attend an annual gala hosted by Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights at Marriott Marquis Hotel. 

She received 2012 Ripple of Hope Award for her humanitarian works and performed a "Red" song called "Starlight", which was inspired by the Kennedy matriarch, Ethel. She was all smiles as she posed with several members of the family without her ex Conor Kennedy in sight. 

Harry, meanwhile, seemed to be in great spirits when rocking MSG with his bandmates. At one point during the gig, the British heartthrob reportedly played with a bra that a concertgoer had thrown to the stage. Although Taylor didn't watch the concert, she met him afterwards. 

The blonde beauty went to the Hudson Hotel for a karaoke night with the band. She was spotted holding hands with him, wearing the same outfit she donned when leaving the Kennedy event. Their playlist included a Backstreet Boys song and a One Direction track which she took part to sing. 

It's only been a few days since Taylor and Harry went public with their romance despite never confirming their relationship, but already she earned one hater. Hailie Scott Mathers, the daughter of Eminem, expressed her outrage toward the female singer for dating the British idol. 

"if @taylorswift13 is really dating the love of my life @Harry_Styles i will not be happy.!" Hailie tweeted. "Dear @taylorswift13, please stop w***ing around with every guy you see. We all know you're only doing it so you can make another album."

Rob Kardashian Denies Twitter Rant Addressed to Rita Ora

Rob Kardashian Denies Twitter Rant Addressed to Rita OraRob Kardashian claimed that the cheating woman he recently meant on his tweets was not Rita Ora. Following speculation that his Twitter rant was directed at his ex-girlfriend, he insisted that he never mentioned the singer's name. 


"Just so we clear I never once mentioned 'Rita Ora' in any of my tweets or even used the word 'whore' and I never would. I Respect Women," Rob tweeted. "Sad that the media created negativity for a young artist new to the game that is working so hard to make it. Never mentioned any names."

"I speak truth. I'm a very Real dude and everything I say I mean... But never called anyone specific a whore and said any names. You all did," he explained. The tweets have been removed from his account.

The only son of Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner launched a Twitter rant on Monday morning, December 3 to an ex-girlfriend, who was rumored to be the British singer. He said, "She cheated on me with nearly 20 dudes while we were together."

He then added, "I wonder how many she will sleep with now that we apart? But I mean 20?!!!" The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star quickly deleted the tweets.

On Tuesday, December 4, a tweet using the name Rita was circulating. It read, "Rob's d**k was wack, I had to go get it somewhere else." Rob allegedly tweeted back, "So you let me get you pregnant and you let others hit raw?"

However, Rob has said that both tweets were fake. He tweeted to Perez Hilton which brought the faux tweets into attention, "@PerezHilton Don't see why you'd bring so much negativity to PHOTOSHOPPED tweets considering she is your friend. You should know better."

Rob and Rita were first romantically linked in July. They sparked more dating rumor by sharing a picture, which features them looking intimate together. According to a source, the couple ended their relationship in November because of the long distance between them.

Rita recently opened up to Glamour U.K. about why she split from the Kardashian boy. She said, "I'm not going out with Rob. We were close for a while, but it didn't work because I was never there. I was like a ghost."

She went on, "I used to get so frustrated with myself and then wonder why I was angry, so I decided it was best to keep it friendly..." She then added, "Especially at the moment, when there's so much going on."

She then revealed that she had a problem with commitment, "I think it's my only weakness." She continued, "I'm scared of letting my guard down, and if I feel in love with someone now, he'd have to try ten times harder to break it down."

Anne Hathaway Opens Up About Her Struggle With Body Image Issue

Anne Hathaway Opens Up About Her Struggle With Body Image IssueBehind her confident stride on the red carpet and her charming smile, Anne Hathaway apparently feels insecure about her body. "I still feel the stress over 'Am I thin enough? Am I too thin? Is my body the right shape?' " she reveals in an interview with Glamour for the cover story of its latest issue where she serves as the cover girl. 

The 30-year-old actress, who went on diet for her Catwoman role in "The Dark Knight Rises" and worked hard to drop more pounds to fit into her portrayal as a prostitute in "Les Miserables", explains more, "There's an obsessive quality to it that I thought I would've grown out of by now. It's an ongoing source of shame for me."

She spills, "So I put on something boring and navy and go out and try to disappear." 

This year undoubtedly becomes an eventful year for Anne. Aside from taking part in major big screen projects, she also made a trip down the aisle to become Mrs. Shulman. "It's wonderful. I feel like I've found my other half, and I'm so excited about getting to love him for the rest of our lives," she gushes about her married life.

He's beyond intelligent. He loves fearlessly. His beliefs are beautiful. He's my best friend. I love him. I just feel that I have the greatest husband in the world for me."

Katt WilliamsKatt Williams doesn't stop shocking the public with his actions. On Monday, December 3, after he was cast out from a south Lake Union hotel in Seattle, he revealed his decision to retire as a stand-up comedian. "I'm just gonna go ahead and announce my retirement from standup, I'm kinda done," he said. 

"I've discussed it with my kids, I wasn't gonna do in the middle of a Seattle street, I was going to go to Los Angeles and do it in the offices of ICM or LiveNation," the comedian continued. Tearing up in an interview with KOMO News, the comedian stated that the south Lake Union hotel was the fourth hotel which asked him to leave in two days. 

After being ejected for the fourth time, he said that he planned to bid the Washington State Ferry Rhododendrom for $301,000 for him and his family. They will stay there until he attends the court on Thursday, December 6 for obstruction, harassment and assault allegations stemming from a December 2 incident.

"If they will accept our bid... I will take me and my whole staff on that boat because I still have a court date four days from now and can't leave," he explained. "And I've been kicked out of four hotels in two days and I've been arrested by three different sets of officers four different times detained by two sets of officers."

"I can stay there [on the ferry] and my family can be there and my dogs can be there and my whole staff can be there," the "Friday Next After" actor went on. He then stated his plan to sue Seattle "for this $50 million that I want for crippling my reputation as a father and a black man and as a taxpaying citizen and as a person who is not a convicted felon."

Later, the comic added, "I got arrested in front my kids three times in my three days stay in Seattle..." The 39-year-old actor then expressed his disappointment over the city, "And all we were doing was coming into town to sell jokes and police department painted me as some sort of public menace that came to town."

The voice of Seamus in "Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore" opened up that Seattle used to be his get-away place. He said, "This was a place I like to bring my kids and let them do stuff without people caring who they were."

Katt got into a lot of troubles recently. In November, he was sued for $5 million by his own female assistant for allegedly hitting her and causing permanent injuries. He then got into mischief on November 14 in a club.

Later, the father of eight was charged by his own fans, one of them is Brian Herline, who claimed that Katt failed to deliver a satisfying performance in Oakland because of his aggresive behavior on stage. He left the stage 10 minutes after taking off his clothes and fighting with several fans.

On Sunday, November 25, the star of "The Perfect Holidayviolated traffic regulation, threatened public safety in Sacramento, and was chased by police. Police ended the pursuit as they worried about people's safety.

On December 2, he was jailed after brandishing a pool cue at a bar manager, obstructing police officers, and throwing a cigarette through a window of a car. The cigarette hit a woman's face just below her eye. Later, he threw a stone to the car. He was then bailed out by Suge Knight, his tour manager, on Monday morning, December 3.

Sherman Hemsley's Funeral Date Finally Set Months After Death

Sherman HemsleyAlmost four months after his death from lung cancer, actor Sherman Hemsley will finally have the funeral service he deserves on Wednesday, November 14. The memorial service is scheduled to take place in El Paso, Texas with the actor's manager, Flora Enchinton, planning the service.

In Hemsley's will drafted six weeks before his death, Enchinton was listed as beneficiary of "The Jeffersons" actor's estate reported to be valued at $50,000. However, Richard Thornton, the man who claimed to be Hemsley's half-brother rose to challenge the validity of the will, which caused the delay of interment service for the actor. 

Thornton was ordered by the judge to take a DNA test to prove his relationship with the deceased actor, but he missed the deadline to submit the results to the court. Earlier this month, the judge in El Paso ruled the will is valid. Mr. Thornton's attorney indicated that he planned to appeal, but no appeal has been made yet according to Enchinton's lawyer, Alexander Neill. 

Hemsley, who served the Air Force before turning to acting, was widely known for his role as George Jefferson on the CBS television series "All in the Family" and "The Jeffersons". He passed away on July 24 of lung cancer. The actor was 74. 

Enchinton is now planning a military funeral for Mr. Hemsley at Fort Bliss National Cemetery in El Paso, said attorney Neill.
