In Spite Of His Earlier Statement, Val Kilmer Is Not Out Of The Woods Yet

Val Kilmer is currently undergoing tests for a possible tumor.


News about Val Kilmer is sketchy at best and Mr. Kilmer himself has issued a statement obviously intended to put concerned fans at ease and deflect media attention from his recent hospitalization, reported People magazine.



“Thank you for all your sweet support. But I have not had a tumor, or a tumor operations, or any operation. I had a complication where the best way to receive care was to stay under the watchful eye of the ucla ICU. Friends have assisted who know my spiritual convictions and have been most sensitive and kind for the extra effort in making sure there’s minimum gossip and silly talk. I am praying for a speedy return to the boards as they say. God bless you all and please don’t worry. Love and deep affection, Val.”



However, it has only been a few hours since that post and a spokesperson for Mr. Kilmer has released a new, updated statement.



“Film actor Val Kilmer is currently undergoing tests at a Los Angeles Hospital for a possible tumor. The 55-year-old Kilmer is being cared for by his two children, Mercedes, 23, and son Jack, who is 19, both L.A. residents.”



Mr. Kilmer’s representative has also reported that doctors are feeling hopeful for a full recovery, reporting that Val has been responding well.


The Santa Monica Fire Department confirmed that a man was transported from Kilmer’s address on Monday night as the result of a 911 call placed from that same location. Concern was raised, when it was learned that Mr. Kilmer was transported via ALS [advanced life support]. ALS paramedics typically respond to reports of more serious conditions that may require enroute IVs, medications, and further support, whereas private ambulance services generally respond to minor injuries.


According to ABC News , Mr. Kilmer had been busily working on a number of projects, prior to the 911 call that resulted in his hospitalization. Val reported on his own Facebook page that he’s been currently working on his dream project, a film entitled Mark Twain and Mary Baker Eddy, due to hit theaters in April. Kilmer wrote the film himself and will star as Mark Twain. Mark Twain and Mary Baker Eddy will focus on the author’s obsession with Mary Eddy Baker.


“Mark Twain was a thin man, and finally after the usual amount of effort, I’m thin again too,” Kilmer wrote of his role as the author.


Val will also co-star with Christian Bale, Michael Fassbender and Natalie Portman in a currently untitled project to be directed by Terrence Malick.


Possibly an early warning sign of this current illness, Val Kilmer recently spoke about his sudden weight loss.

‘Breaking Bad’ Star Anna Gunn To Join Gary Sinise In ‘Criminal Minds’ Spinoff

Former 'Breaking Bad' actress will join Gary Sinise in a new series from the creators of 'Criminal Minds.'


Actress Anna Gunn, who most notably starred in Breaking Bad as Walter White’s wife, has just been cast in a new CBS crime drama, which will be a spinoff from the successful Criminal Minds series. Gunn has been cast in the female lead, opposite Gary Sinise, in the series, which will focus on a U.S. agency that specializes in aiding American citizens abroad, according to The New York Post .


Ms. Gunn’s character, Ally Lambert, is an expert on international law and an accomplished linguist. Gary Sinise will play her supervisor and 20-year veteran of the F.B.I., Jack Garrett, in the as of yet untitled spinoff.


The show, which will be introduced in a backdoor pilot during the regular Criminal Minds season, is set to make its debut in mid February. If the episode earns high ratings, the show may see a pick up in time for the early fall lineup.


The Criminal Minds spinoff will follow Gunn’s and Sinise’s characters as they investigate crimes involving American citizens overseas, as a part of the BAU team. Tyler James Williams, formerly of The Walking Dead, will join Anna and Gary as a part of their team. Criminal Minds executive producer, Erica Messer, will write and executive produce the new show as well.


Originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico, Gunn studied theater at Northwestern University, before building a prolific wealth of experience on stage in Chicago. Anna landed her first role in the theater in the critically acclaimed production of “The Beggar’s Opera,” starring as Lucy Lockit. Ms. Gunn also performed in “Uncommon Ground” at the Northlight Theater and in “Peacekeeper” at American Blues Theatre, prior to relocating to Los Angeles.


Anna has been acting on television and in films since 1992, when she starred in the short-lived sitcom Down The Shore. Since that time, Ms. Gunn has starred in a number of films, including Enemy of the State and Sassy Pants, as well as appearing in guest roles on a variety of television sitcoms and dramas.


While starring on Breaking Bad, Anna Gunn won two Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Skyler White. People magazine reports that Ms. Gunn has since gone on to star on Gracepoint as Detective Ellie Miller, alongside David Tennant. Gracepoint is Fox’s adaptation of the British series, Broadchurch.


Inquisitr recently reported on Gracepoint and it’s place in the rating game, as it premiered this past October.

Bobbi Kristina Brown Update: Whitney Houston’s Daughter Is In Medically Induced Coma [Report]

Bobbi Kristina Brown


Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unresponsive in the bathtub of her home in what sounds like an eerily similar situation to how her mother, Whitney Houston, was found nearly three years ago. New reports suggest that the 21-year-old was found face down in the bathtub, and while she was reportedly able to be revived by paramedics, she has been placed in a medically induced coma. TMZ reports that doctors needed to induce the coma because Brown has “swelling in her brain.”


TMZ has also confirmed that police have searched the home for drugs, and the search came up empty. At this point it is unknown what might have happened to Brown. She was found by her husband Nick Gordon and a friend at her home in Roswell, GA. Authorities say that Brown was found in a bathtub full of water — enough water for someone to take a bath in.


Bobbi Kristina Brown is reportedly breathing on her own, but her current condition is unclear. Some reports indicate that she is stable, but it sounds like she is in critical condition as she remains in the ICU tonight. Although all of the details have not been confirmed, there is already some finger pointing going on. According to People Magazine, sources close to the situation say that Nick Gordon will more than likely be pegged as the reason for Brown’s setback.



“He’ll be the bad guy again. Nick knew that a lot of the family weren’t fans of his; he sort of kept her away from some of her family members because he didn’t want [the family] to say bad things about him to [Bobbi Kristina]. It’s not exactly his fault,” said a source.



Bobbi Kristina Brown has not been the same since losing her mother. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Whitney Houston was found unconscious in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel after taking a potent drug cocktail that ultimately cost her her life. Her official cause of death was drowning.


TMZ has reported that Brown is “alive and breathing,” but many are worried that the medically induced coma means that her condition is far more serious. It is unknown how long she was unconscious for, or if her brain function was compromised.


This story is still developing. Check back for updates.

Ten things from the Backstreet Boys documentary that might surprise you




So you might have heard that the Backstreet Boys documentary Show 'Em What You're Made Of released yesterday in theatres and on VOD. If you haven't? Hey that's okay too. While there was a time when they were the biggest group in the world just suddenly one day they weren't. So while many Backstreet fans are collectively on a bit of a high right now from the release of the film a good portion of the general public hasn't even bat an eye and there's a good chance that you're one of them. If you are maybe you should reconsider.



Show 'Em What You're Made Of is a surprisingly good film. Honestly. Even when you look at it objectively, silencing that hysterical shrieking and sobbing obsessively TRL voting tween/teenager it's a solid documentary. The stereotypical "You'll laugh! You'll cry!" actually rings true with this film in part because of how honest they are. It doesn't always paint them in a good light - personally one of the many things going through my mind after my initial viewing was "Fuck Nick Carter" - and it doesn't shy away from things like their manufactured start, legal issues with Lou Pearlman, internal band conflicts and how they aren't the same group they once were.



So anyway long story short I put together this list of some, but not nearly all, of the highlights from the doc. Enjoy and KTBSPA.





Howie was originally the group's lead singer

This one is a bit of a cheat because it isn't some kind of revelation or secret to a lot of people who are big fans of the group. After some discussions about vocals in the Backstreet Boys posts from yesterday I figured I would include this since I guessed that some casual fans and ONTD members in general might not know this. When the group was initially formed Howie was actually the lead vocalist. This shifted slightly when Kevin suggested that his cousin Brian join the group but Howie was still pretty much in the foreground. Check out this promo video from 1993 for a hint of BSB's original sound.








Anyway this pretty much all ended up changing when the boys were flown to Sweden to meet with producers Max Martin and the late Denniz Pop. The music that they were making didn't sound like anything that was really being played in the US at the time and while four out of the five boys loved that it was different sounding Howie was not on board knowing that his vocals didn't fit with the dissonent sounds at all. Of course they never really had any say in what they were going to sing or do back in those Lou Pearlman days so they moved forward. The decision ended up launching them into super stardorm almost overnight in Europe but Howie really resented being pushed to the side for Brian's vocals, something that he admits to in the documentary that it still bothers him a little which is why he's featured more on their most recent releases.






They used to watch porn together at Lou Pearlman's mansion

Back when the group was first starting out they spent a lot of time hanging out at Lou Pearlman's mansion, not that anyone can blame them. Lou hadn't yet revealed himself to be a completely shady and creepy person who would eventually go to jail for scamming people out of over $300 million dollars in one of the largest Ponzi's schemes in the history of the US. He hadn't yet created 'N Sync and basically threatened the boys any time that they were too exhausted to do a performance or interview, constantly telling them they were replaceable. Rich Cronin and the claims of sexual abuse wouldn't come until about a decade down the road. At the time he was a super rich guy giving them each a check for $75 a week, letting them do what they loved doing which was performing and he had a really kick ass mansion where he had an arcade, vintage Coca-Cola machine (Nick claims to this day it's the best Coca-Cola he's ever tasted in his life) and an original Darth Vader helment from Star Wars.



He also had porn. A lot of porn. Which isn't really scandalous by any means but still worth a mention.



"At the end of the night we'd put in one of Lou's porns and we'd all watch those every so often," Howie recalled. "First time I even saw two girls kissing each other was on one of Lou's video tapes and I was like, 'What is this?'"








Things get very emotional

I've said this before but it is definitely something that's worth repeating. This is not like any of the other pop documentaries as of late.



While filming took place during the recording of their 2013 album In A World Like This and their 20th anniversary as a group was the catalyst for the doc it's not a concert movie or even one about music. It's about them and not just the parts that fans haven't necessarily seen but things that they've never revealed to each other in two decades as a group.



Emotions get high more than once in the film but the first big moment that at least had me tearing up is when they go to Kevin Richardson's home from when he was growing up and he talks about his father dying of colon cancer. Kevin has spoken about his father's death in the past and even did a PSA about getting tested for colon cancer but in the film he goes more in depth and the memories and emotion hits him hard to the point where he can barely get out the words. He talks about how his family had hidden the severity of his father's illness from him not wanting to worry him. Even when things were really bad and Kevin came home to see his father, who had been in pain and bed bound for weeks, his dad got up and walked to the front door to greet him because he didn't want him to know how bad it was. It's an emotional moment all around (except from Nick who looks disinterested by the whole thing).








Kevin can ask for a blow job in German



The Backstreet Boys gained fame in Europe long before they ever had it in the US. They mention how they spent the better part of three years in Germany back in the beginning. Since the spent so much time there they figured out that they needed to learn some German pretty quickly. They mention some of the first German that they learned which for the most part was some basic "please" and "thank you" type of stuff until you get to Kevin who learned, and can still recite, "Would you give me a blow job?"





A.J. can still recite a monologue he learned as a child complete with hand motions and English accent

Throughout the doc each one of the Boys revisits some important places from their childhood. For A.J. this includes a visit back to school and meeting with some of the women who guided him along the way when he was pursuing acting. When asked if A.J. still remembers any of his monologues from nearly thirty years ago he is surprisingly able to go into it without missing a beat. The footage is intercut with an old acting reel of A.J.'s showing him doing the same monologue with the same motions and inflections. It's nothing major but it's definitely a nice moment and even becomes a bit comical when Nick realizes he's seen A.J. reanact this before to hit on girls.








Brian and Howie once avoided potential jail time by name dropping Lou Pearlman

Back before they were anybody and they were still mostly just rehearsing and hanging out at Lou Pearlman's house Brian and Howie had a bit of a run in with the police. It wasn't anything even remotely pearl clutching. Brian, Howie and their respective girlfriends were leaving from hanging out at Lou's hose and they were blasting music and speeding so fast that Howie mentions it was the "kind of fast you go to jail for". When the police approached them and asked what they were doing they started to explain that they were just coming home from Lou Pearlman's house and the cop backed off and let them go without even a warning because Lou was just that powerful in Orlando back in the day.







COME TO BRAZIL

Seriously you can't even escape this while seeing a movie these days :X








A.J. once drank a shot that his friend had puked in



Yeah... that was gross. His friend can no longer take shots because of it and I can't say that I blame him. Drugs are bad kids.







Brian yelling at Nick to shut the fuck up



So with no point of reference whatsoever this doesn't seem surprising at all. The thing you have to know is Brian really doesn't get mad very often and when he does it's really not like this. It's not like fans of the group today are still the type to throw teddy bears on stage and think nothing but the most sweet and innocent things about these guys and yet this moment is one of the ones that really has fans talking just because it's really uncharacteristic of Brian. In all fairness, Nick had it coming. What you need to know is that there was a time when Brian and Nick were absolutely inseperable. They were Frick and Frack. So during easily the most heated moment of the documentary - where they're arguing about the inclusion of / possibly revising a song on the album - it's kind of shocking to see Nick to really try to hurt Brian during the argument.



It's not really a secret that Brian's vocals are not what they used to be. Brian's struggle with it and the fact that they all know but don't really talk about it that much is a key point in the documentary. Brian was diagnosed with both vocal tension dysphonia - the tightening of muscles around the vocal chords - and dystonia - a neuroligal disconnect between his brain and his vocal cords - and has been struggling to overcome it (while the balance is ongoing Brian has recently commented that he's been showing improvement in the past few months). So Nick, pissed off that Brian isn't the biggest fan of the song in question, starts insulting Brian and his struggles and really hits below the belt. It's kind of hard to watch but I have to side with Brian on this one, shut the fuck up Nick.



Also, spoiler alert, the song did make the album unchanged











Nick Carter hasn't matured much in 20 years



I have loved and been a huge fan of the Backstreet Boys for more than half of my life. I adore these guys and yes that means that I adore Nick but it's pretty apparent through watching the old footage cut in with everything that they filmed for the documentary that Nick hasn't changed much at all during that time and while he isn't really portrayed in the best light it's still honest. This probably doesn't come as much of a shock to anyone that watched House of Carters but a lot of groups would try to gloss over anything that would paint them negatively where Nick's less than awesome attitude is all over this doc. Whether it's him mentally checking out as Kevin starts breaking down reliving the death of his father, the fight above with Brian over the chorus of a song, him equating when he was overweight to A.J.'s struggles with addiction and Brian's current medical issues with his voice, or how his homecoming seems very .... different for lack of a better term tone wise than it does for everyone else.



In all fairness Nick had a really shitty childhood and his family is a mess. His parents pretty much never saw Nick (and later Aaron) as anything more than dollar signs and he mentions how they have been estranged for years and how overall it was not a happy home to grow up in. The doc leaves you with the impression that Nick still has a lot of issues to work on and he often comes across more like an entitled teenager than he does a thirty something man.

Did Disney stop 'Tomorrowland' lead Britt Robertson from promoting ~racy~ indie movie?






CultureCatch spoke with the director of Ask Me Anything, where Robertson plays a young, promiscuous blogger, and he seems to think so.



Why go AWOL?



AB: The short answer is "I have not the faintest idea." Here's the long answer. When Britt saw the completed movie for the first time, she wrote me an email. She said that she had never been more proud of anything she had ever done and that she would do anything to help promote the film. She was, to put it mildly, over the moon. We sold the film to the first distributor who saw it. Naturally, Britt's total commitment to promoting the movie was intrinsic to the deal. But something had occurred between the time I gave her the role and the movie's moving toward its release: Britt had landed the leads in two giant movies -- Disney's Tomorrowland, starring George Clooney, and the new Nicholas Sparks film, The Longest Ride.





You think the fact that she is about to become famous is the reason she has disappeared?



AB: Where facts are absent, rumors fill the void. The first thing I heard was that Disney, not too keen on their leading lady promoting a movie in which her character gets drunk, smokes pot, and has sex with three different men, had put a gag on Britt. It seemed far-fetched but what did I know? Then I heard the same thing about the producers of The Longest Ride. And now I am hearing that there is a jealous boyfriend in the mix. Which I suppose is possible, as Britt's boyfriend Dylan O'Brien, star of The Maze Runner, is quite close with teen idol Max Carver, one of the three men Katie sleeps with in the movie. This sort of speculation in the end is a dead end, though, because what really matters is that a brilliant young artist has given a breathtaking performance of which she is deeply proud, and for some reason she has been advised to keep her mouth shut about it. Maybe I'll never know the real reason.(...)



Any chance Britt will have second thoughts?



AB: No. She hasn't written back to me in months. And her agent is claiming that no one from our movie ever contacted her about publicity -- which is of course laughable. What indie movie would not approach its lead actress to do publicity? Plus, her reps have been fighting tooth and nail to have the "best-faith efforts to promote" clause expunged from her contract. If we never approached her to promote, why bother with that? No, the ship is sailed. Britt is gone. And her beautiful performance is now being treated as a dirty little secret. I just hope that in years to comes when she is reminded by fans how incredible she was in the part, it occurs to her that maybe what she did was not just unethical but foolish.

Mariah Carey returns to Sony Music under L.A. Reid





Just months shy of the 10-year anniversary of The Emancipation Of Mimi, Mariah Carey and L.A. Reid are prepping another kind of comeback. The newly-emancipated chanteuse is returning to Sony Music through Epic Records, where Reid has served as chairman since 2011. The two last worked together when Reid, the former head of Island Def Jam, oversaw Mimi's 2005 comeback album. The seven albums Mariah has released through Sony have sold a combined 43.9 million albums, according to Nielsen Music, including the septuple-platinum Music Box and Daydream.



The multi-album deal will see Carey's first new material through Sony since 1999's Rainbow. Mariah is set to begin with a greatest-hits album to coincide with her upcoming residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Dubbed "#1's", the concert series begins May 6 and will include all 18 of Carey's Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers.



Despite the messiness that has been Mariah's career in recent years, we can take hope in that she ended 2014 on a positive note, selling out a six-night residency at New York's Beacon Theatre that grossed a combined $1.5 million. Here's to 2015 and Mariah's chance at scoring her third consecutive Song of the Decade.

Award Winner Jennifer Aniston Reveals She Almost Lost The Role Of A Lifetime

Photo courtesy of X17Online.com


The Santa Barbara Film Festival was the setting for Jennifer Aniston’s latest accomplishment. According to Daily Mail , Jennifer was awarded the Montecito Award award, which is presented to performers who have made considerable contributions to film through performance and style. Jennifer Aniston is in good company. Oprah Winfrey, Daniel Day-Lewis, Kate Winslet, and Annette Bening have each been past winners of the Montecito Award.


Ms. Aniston was honored with the award for her career in general, but, more specifically, for her role as Claire Bennett in the drama Cake, the story of a woman who becomes intrigued by the suicide of a fellow member of her chronic pain support group.


During a special Q&A segment, Ms. Aniston revealed that producers of Friends had considered replacing her, due to Jennifer’s previous commitment with another sitcom, Muddling Through. Aniston, most notably known for her role as Rachel Green on the 1994 sitcom Friends, revealed that she very nearly lost the role that would end up launching her success. Conflicting shooting schedules prompted Friends producers to consider other actresses for the Rachel Green role and Ms. Aniston revealed that she would hear, through girlfriends, that they were auditioning new actresses for the Friends part.


“They just took the chance that Muddling Through would fail after the two episodes they picked it up for,” Jennifer said. “And so I just started doing this back-and-forth from Sony to Warner Bros. for two weeks.”


As luck would have it, Muddling Through lasted only three months, before it was cancelled, leaving Ms. Aniston free to claim her Friends role.


Jennifer also added that the producers’ intentions had been that Aniston would play Monica Geller and Courteney Cox would be cast in the Rachel Green role, reported People magazine.


“They wanted Courteney [Cox] to play Rachel,” stated Jennifer in the Q&A. “And unbeknownst to each other, I wanted to play Rachel and she wanted to play Monica. It worked out perfectly.”


Ms. Aniston hasn’t let the added attention of receiving awards for her performances interfere with her social life. Jennifer was seen enjoying a night out with a group of girlfriends on Thursday. Among the group of six women, Aniston was spotted with girlfriends Chelsea Handler and Sandra Bullock at Craig’s, a restaurant in West Hollywood.


Jennifer Aniston can be seen in She’s Funny That Way, also starring Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots, and Quentin Tarantino, when it hits theaters on May 1. The comedy will be released in UK theaters on June 26.


Inquisitr recently reported on the rumors of Ms. Aniston’s engagement and impending wedding.

Amber Portwood Speaks Out: Did She Break Up With Her Boyfriend?

Amber Portwood speaks out about break up.


Ever since being released from prison, Amber Portwood has been living a quiet life and trying to keep most of her private life private. When it was revealed that she had a boyfriend, fans were shocked, mainly because the Teen Mom star stayed pretty quiet about him.


Details about the much older man quickly emerged and included several arrests. Not only that, but it was revealed that he often tweeted mean things about the Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 cast. Jenelle Evans quickly got online and started a small feud with Amber Portwood over the entire ordeal. All seemed well with Amber and her boyfriend; In fact the two even got matching tattoos together and her boyfriend, Matt, got the reality show star’s name tattooed on his arm.


Yesterday, the Inquisitr reported that the two had quietly broken up. Reportedly, Amber ended the relationship after she suspected Matt of cheating on her. A source also revealed that she didn’t really trust him. Initially, Amber stayed quiet about the alleged break up, but after hearing about it, she spoke out on her Twitter account.



She also replied to Radar Online, the site that originally reported the story and simply said “never happened lol.”


Amber Portwood has been dating Matt since last year. It is unclear exactly when their relationship began, but the two started out by taking things slow. In fact, the Teen Mom star spoke to Starcasm last September about her new man.


“I have been talking specifically to one person and I really do feel like I love him, but we’re not together. We’re taking things really slow. I have to get myself back in gear and tell myself, ‘Ok, I can trust men, I just have to not be naive.’ That’s a problem that I have because I’m very naive when it comes to love… I do believe that I trust this man. I hope that I can trust him.”


Once Matt heard the news, he also hoped on Twitter and defended his relationship with Amber.



Over the past few years, Amber has been through a lot. From a downward spiral to spending time behind bars, things have definitely been crazy for the mom of one. Despite everything, though, she continues to stay positive and is always sending love to her fans on Twitter.


Amber Portwood will be reunited with her Teen Mom cast mates as the show will return to MTV later this year.

Neil Gaiman’s ‘Neverwhere’ Suggested To Fill “Doctor Who Spot” On Saturdays

What should be used to fill in Doctor Who's spot when Doctor Who isn't on?


It’s been an ongoing problem for the BBC; what should fill the “Doctor Who” spot on Saturday nights when Doctor Who isn’t on?


The Guardian reflects that the BBC has tried to fill the slot with Merlin, Robin Hood, and the recently canceled Atlantis, but that the issue remains a “persistent stone in the shoe of the BBC.”



Since the Doctor’s rebirth in 2005, the corporation has dredged folklore for popular myths and legends, in the hope that updating them with spry, plucky, improbably good-looking young male leads will eventually pay dividends. Since it has also displayed an almost compulsive habit of killing these shows off, it clearly hasn’t yet.



So, with Atlantis gone, it’s time to consider—again—what the BBC might do next.


Digital Spy seems to hope that the BBC will try something new with the Doctor Who spot. Matthew Stott wrote



Now, I can’t be the only one suffering a serious case of sandal fatigue.



Stott talks about how rebooting Doctor Who wasn’t a safe choice at the time; most people thought the dinosaur would suffer through a series or two before dying again. It wasn’t a safe choice, but due to the way that Who can tell a variety of stories and adventures, it found a new audience and succeeded. Stott suggests this is the ultimate limitation on the other shows that the BBC has tried in the slot—and he offers a solution.



These shows are also limited in the type of stories they can tell, the imaginative places they can leap to. If they want another long-standing hit like Doctor Who on their hands, the BBC needs to be bold. It needs to dive into the rich fantasy world of Neil Gaiman ‘s Neverwhere.



Neverwhere was originally a BBC series in 1996, an urban fantasy about London Above and London Below that was later adapted as a novel by Gaiman, and more recently as a BBC Radio adaptation that got great reviews.




The Guardian makes other suggestions, such as a Torchwood style spin-off—perhaps featuring the adventures of a female Time Lord, or the adventures of a companion post-Doctor like The Sarah Jane Adventures—or perhaps even



A homegrown intelligent, high-concept drama that isn’t based on anything or set in ancient something-or-other, with an established writer at its helm, a talented young cast and a steadfast belief placed in it by the BBC? Sounds perfect.

Pregnant ’16 and Pregnant’ Star Nikkole Paulun Arrested

'16 and Pregnant' Nikkole Paulun arrested.


16 and Pregnant star Nikkole Paulun was not selected by MTV for Teen Mom 2 when she appeared on season two of the show. However, despite not becoming a full-fledged reality show star, Nikkole has managed to stay in the spotlight, most recently with an arrest.


The Ashley’s Reality Roundup reports that Nikkole Paulun was arrested on Friday night. The arrest took place in Monroe, Michigan where Nikkole hails from. The former 16 and Pregnant star was picked up, allegedly, for “Third Degree Retail Fraud.” While the news of the arrest was originally reported by Wrapped Up With Reality, The Ashley was able to confirm that the arrest did indeed occur. She reports that, in order to be arrested for “Third Degree Retail Fraud,” the reality show star would have had to steal items that had a value between $200 and $1000.


Nikkole Paulun is typically very outspoken on Twitter and hasn’t been opposed to posting stories about her former 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom co-stars. However, she has yet to say anything about the arrest, despite the fact that her mugshot is readily available. While it initially seemed that Nikkole was directly involved with the theft, Starcasm spoke to a source close to Nikkole and revealed that there is more to the story.


The source says that there were three individuals involved and that it was one of the other people, not Nikkole, who actually stole something. When questioned, Nikkole willingly admitted that she knew about the theft because she was told that if she was honest, the police would not be involved. Unable to produce any identification, though, the police were called in and it was the police who put all three individuals, including Nikkole Paulun, under arrest.


The 16 and Pregnant star was taken in and a mugshot taken as well. However, she was released and Starcasm points out that she will likely still be in trouble, but most likely with a lesser charge.


Paulun was in the headlines last year when she reportedly faked a pregnancy. She claimed that she had given birth to a stillborn, but there were reports that she had made up that story, as well as the entire pregnancy. This time, however, there are few who doubt her pregnancy claims as she continues to update fans.


The Inquisitr previously reported the news of the 16 and Pregnant star’s second pregnancy back in November.

Rap Mogul Suge Knight Charged With Murder In Hit-And-Run Case, Could Face 30 Years In Prison

Suge Knight Arrested For Fatal Hit-And-Run


According to Fox News , rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight was arrested Friday morning on suspicion of murder due to a fatal hit-and-run incident. If he is found guilty of the crime, Knight could face 30 years in prison.


The co-founder of Death Row Records, Suge Knight, 49, was working on an upcoming film “Straight Outta Compton,” a biopic about the rap group NWA, when an argument erupted Thursday between Knight and actor Cle “Bone” Sloan, 51.


LA Times reported that Knight was attacked by a group of men after the argument took place on set. They even threatened to kill him, “attempting to drag him outside of the vehicle when he made an effort to escape… in fear for his life,” according to Knight’s attorney James Blatt.


Twenty minutes later, the group of men took a break from the set and drove to Tam’s Burgers near Central and East Rosecrans Ave. Police believe that Knight followed the men to the restaurant where the fight continued. Suge Knight remained in his vehicle and exchanged words with Sloan – punches were even thrown through Knights’ open window.


Authorities believe Suge Knights’ friend, Terry Carter, 55, was trying to stop the fight and had nothing to do with the confrontation.


Moments later, Knight “struck Sloan and Carter with his truck,” according to Lt. John Corina. “Then he puts the truck in drive, drives forward, running over him, and then keeps going forward and keeps on driving, and runs over Carter, who is standing in the parking lot, and keeps on going after that.”


Carter was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital while Sloan is in stable condition with unknown injuries.


Knight abandoned his vehicle, which was found by police in a West Los Angeles parking lot late Thursday.


Twitter reacts to the recent news of Suge Knight’s murder allegations,







Suge Knight’s attorney insisted the hit-and-run was an accident and that his client acted in self-defense.


“He was in the process of being physically assaulted by two men and in an effort to escape, but he unfortunately hit two [other] individuals. He was in his car trying to escape.”


“He had no knowledge whatsoever he ran over anyone. There’s no damage to Mr. Knight’s car,” Blatt stated. “The investigation is in the very beginning stages. We anticipate him being exonerated.”


However, witnesses spoke with the police and stated the incident seemed intentional.


With a long history of violent acts and crimes, such as aggravated assault, drug possession, nine year imprisonment, and currently awaiting trial on charges of second degree robbery where he and comedian Katt Williams were accused of stealing a camera; if found guilty of murder, he could face 30 years in prison or more.


Suge Knight turned himself in to authorities and was booked on suspicion of murder. He is currently being held at the West Hollywood sheriff’s station on $2 million bail.

No New ‘Game Of Thrones’ Book In 2015, Insists George R.R. Martin

670


George R.R. Martin has admitted that a new Game Of Thrones book won’t be released over the next 12 months.


The author, who has seen his series of books turn into a pop culture phenomenon, has admitted that The Winds Of Winter, which will be the sixth book of George Martin’s hugely popular A Song Of Ice and Fire novels, isn’t finished yet.


Speaking to the Guardian , Jane Johnson, who works at HarperCollins, which is the company that publishes the books, came out and admitted that there is no release information on the follow-up to 2011’s A Dance With Dragons.



“I have no information on likely delivery. These are increasingly complex books and require immense amounts of concentration to write. Fans really ought to appreciate that the length of these monsters is equivalent to two or three novels by other writers.”



Last month, Game Of Thrones fans were adamant that the author was about to announce a release date for The Winds Of Winter. That’s because a 12 Days of Christmas promotion was organized, which people assumed would result in the date being announced.


However, Martin came out and quashed this speculation, posting on his blog, “Somehow, from somewhere, the rumor arose that the ’12 Days’ were actually a countdown… not to Xmas, but to the publication of The Winds Of Winter, or the announcement of its completion and/or pub date.”


During this post, Martin then embarked on a passionate diatribe on how he will not “play games about the books.” He added that he is more than aware just how much pressure and anticipation there is regarding the novels.



“I know how many people are waiting, how long they have been waiting, how anxious they are. I am still working on Winds. When it’s done, I will announce it here. There won’t be any clues to decipher, any codes or hidden meanings, the announcement will be straightforward and to the point.”


“I won’t time it to coincide with Xmas or Valentine’s Day or Lincoln’s Birthday, the book will not rise from the dead with Jesus on Easter Sunday. When it is done, I will say that’s it is done [sic], on whatever day I happen to finish.”



Game Of Thrones’ A Song Of Ice And Fire series began with 1996’s A Game Of Thrones, which was followed by 1998’s A Clash Of Kings, 2000’s A Storm Of Swords, 2005’s A Feast for Crows, 2011’s A Dance with Dragons, and will be followed by the forthcoming additions to the series, The Winds Of Winter and A Dream Of Spring.
