Justin Theroux: Break Dancing on Ellen!

Justin Theroux knows how to get DOWN! Stopping by the Ellen DeGeneres show to promote Wanderlust , in which he co-stars with girlfriend Jennifer Aniston (they met on set) and Paul Rudd, Justin showed off some sick break dance moves. Turns out we can thank Jen for this, too. Watch him let loose to Rob Base DJ E Z Rock’s “It Takes Two”: Justin Theroux Dances on Ellen “My girlfriend, I don’t know if any of you guys know her, ever since she saw Zoolander she’s been obsessed with making me break dance,” Justin told Ellen. While she tried to get him to bust a move at her birthday party, Theroux says he got out of it by telling her he couldn’t do it without his “breaking shoes.” He continues, “So we got home that night. It was late and she literally came out with a pair of shoes. My actual ‘breaking shoes.’” The best part of it? Jennifer Aniston was nice enough to send the shoes to Ellen too, and after a moment of resignation, he was not shy about showing off his moves. Respect!

Terrence Howard Ordered to Pay Estranged Wife $50K

Terrence Howard has been ordered to shell out $50,000 for his soon-to-be ex-wife’s expenses in the midst of their ongoing, increasingly ugly legal dispute . Howard’s camp had claimed that the Red Tails star is low on cash and Michelle Ghent Howard’s allegations of mistreatment were harming his reputation. Apparently the judge did not concur. According to Michelle Howard’s attorney, Karen Donahoe, he maintains a $76,000 / month lifestyle after making $2.6 million as an actor in the past year. Terrence’s attorney, Christian Markey, countered: “He hasn’t had a paycheck. No job offers. And he only has $20,000 in cash. She’s got more money.” The once-happy couple quietly tied the knot in January 2010, but Ghent filed for divorce a year later … and said Howard beat and threatened to kill her . She obtained a restraining order. Howard claims she’s a racist, jealous monster who claimed that she “never wanted to marry a n—-r in the first place.” An evidentiary hearing is scheduled for April 23. Until then, Howard owes $1,800 a month for her Range Rover, $20,000 for her attorney fees, $20,000 for accountant fees and $10,000 in spousal support.

Lindsay Lohan Scores Elizabeth Taylor Biopic Role

The skeptics who say Lindsay Lohan shouldn’t host SNL because she does nothing other than get into legal trouble have a little less ammunition today. The actress is studying hard for the movie role she coveted – and just got – doing everything she can to accurately portray a young Elizabeth Taylor. Lindsay just inked a deal with Lifetime to play Liz in the network’s biopic called Liz and Dick . Production on L & D is scheduled to kick off late March. Conveniently, right after Lindsay’s probation is over and done with. Lindsay is telling friends she’s taking her gig, which she lobbied hard for, very seriously and is “obsessing over getting the part right” for the film. The 25-year-old has been doing nothing but watching old Taylor movies to help her recreate the Hollywood icon’s posture, speech, and every detail. Lohan has even been reading old Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011) interviews online and reading a bunch of biographies … dedication to the craft, people! Lifetime is taking a hard stance with Lindsay too, demanding she complete ALL probation requirements before filming. She’s on track to … for now.

Heading out for a bout of retail therapy, Kim Kardashian was spotted out in Los Angeles, CA on Tuesday (February 21). Clad in skinny pants and a sweater, the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star parked her luxurious Maybach ride and checked out her famous derriere before making her way inside a local boutique to check out the store’s offerings. The sighting comes just as the not-so-honorable Bennie awards were recently announced and, unfortunately for Kim, she took the title of “worst female reality personality” of the year. To make matters even worse, a separate award for “worst reality show featuring a Kardashian” went to “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” The Bennie awards are similar to the Razzies, recognizing bad television the way the Razzies point out bad movies.Photo Credit: INF Daily

So much for Tac. Following rumors that Taylor Swift and Zac Efron were Hollywood’s new young power couple, this pair taped an appearance on Ellen yesterday (it airs today), during which they acted adorably together… but also shot down chatter that they were anything more than friends. “We are not a couple,” Taylor said, adding that Zac is “awesome” and then joking about how they are barely even co-stars because they both just voiced characters for The Lorax : “You hear people get together when they’re shooting movies, co-stars. But not like animated co-stars. You know what I’m saying. ‘Oh my god, as we were recording our voiceovers on separate coasts we really connected.’” Watch Zac and Taylor talk about their Valentine’s Day plans below, following by a snippet of their fun duet on the show: Zac Efron and Taylor Swift on Ellen Taylor Swift and Zac Efron Duet

Did Jennifer Aniston Torpedo Nude Scene For Justin Theroux?

Jennifer Aniston had producers cut out a nude scene from her upcoming film Wanderlust for the sake of her new relationship with boyfriend Justin Theroux, reports say. According to The Wrap , the actress wants Theroux alone to be able to see her naked, so she had a scene where she flashed her bare breasts taken out of the movie. The 43-year-old star reportedly had her forthcoming topless scene changed, so when she flashes TV news cameras in a scene, her breasts are now shown pixilated. According to a source : “When the film was edited with the frontal nudity in it, Jen pleaded for an alternate version due to her blossoming relationship with Theroux. The two met on the set of the film and are now cohabitating. A Universal spokeswoman denied that Jen had her topless time changed: “The scene was shot a bunch of different ways, and we have the best possible version.” Jennifer Aniston is no stranger to nudity, of course, appearing almost topless in Horrible Bosses and getting snapped in the buff for Rolling Stone and GQ . Some of the Jennifer Aniston pictures in question:

Lake Bell’s Oh-So-Sexy Shoot for ELLE UK March 2012

She’s been hard at work on the FOX series “New Girl,” and Lake Bell took time out of her filming schedule to offer up a titillating shoot for the March 2012 issue of ELLE UK . The 22-year-old actress switched in and out of a variety of skimpy ensembles while striking sexy poses for photographer Michael Edwards. Meanwhile, Miss Bell also recently offered up an in-depth interview to Oyster magazine, in which she spoke about what she was like as a child. Of this, Lake dished, “I was super precocious. I put on all sorts of childlike plays in order to procrastinate from going to sleep. I was always an insomniac. I remember telling jokes improperly, as well. The first joke I ever told at the dinner table was when I was, like, four, and all I said was, “To get to the other side!”, because I only knew the punch line. I just wanted the payoff.” The brunette beauty also also was questioned whether it’s true that her chest is her favorite part of her body, to which she answered, “[Laughs] I think they’re pretty fun. Boobs are funny in general, but then they are also sexy. Airplane! was one of my favourite movies when I was younger, and because of it, any time I am scared on a plane I just look down at my boobs. Because if there is turbulence, I can’t be afraid if I remember that quick cut-shot in a speedy montage in the movie, when everything is going haywire and they cut to some chick’s boobs bouncing. It’s such an arbitrary, absurd shot.”Photo Credit: Michael Edwards for ELLE UK

By all accounts, George Clooney should be preparing an acceptance speech for this Sunday’s Academy Awards. He’s the favorite for Best Actor, following a tremendous performance in The Descendants . But the actor – who only made $300,000 for that film – took time to chat with the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter this month, opening up about a number of topics, including his friendship with another Best Actor nominee. Excerpts from the interview are below… On alcohol : “I do enjoy drinking, and there have been times in my life when it’s crossed the line from being fun to having to drink late at night for absolutely no reason. So what I do is, I stop. I haven’t had a drink since New Year’s Eve.” On Brad Pitt : “Brad is one of the great guys. We’re good friends, but it’s different from what people think, meaning we don’t spend a lot of time together. He has been to my home in Como; we motorcycle together. But until recently, I hadn’t seen Brad in a year.” On loneliness : “Anyone would be lying if they said they didn’t get lonely at times. The loneliest you will get is in the most public of arenas: You will go to a place and end up in the smallest compartment possible, because it’s a distraction to everybody, and you end up not getting to enjoy it like everyone else.” He adds, “I have been infinitely more alone in a bad relationship; there’s nothing more isolating. I have been in places in my life where that has existed.”
