Where Are Our Favorite Child Actors Now?


Have you ever wondered what your favorite child stars are doing nowadays? Let’s take a walk down memory lane and see what they’re up to now…

Bradley Cooper's Dramatic Transformation to Play a Navy SEAL: He's Gained 40 Pounds!

Bradley Cooper, Eric Close
Eric Close is one very busy man these days. Not only does he co-star on Nashville as Teddy Conrad, but on Saturday, he and his wife, Keri, are hosting a big fundraiser at their L.A.-area home for The Africa Foundation.
But before I get to any of that, I have to tell you what Close just revealed about Bradley Cooper. Close appears opposite the Oscar-nominated actor in American Sniper, the upcoming Clint Eastwood-directed real-life drama about the late Navy SEAL Chris Kyle (Cooper), who had more than 150 confirmed kills over his decade-long career as a sniper.
"He put on like 40 pounds," said Close, who plays a Defense Intelligence Agency agent in the film. "He's really been working hard. He looks great. He's really taken on this character…He really takes this story personally and wants to do an honorable job for Chris' memory and for his family."
And speaking of doing great work, the benefit at the Closes' home is actually the second time they've helped The Africa Foundation.

Dolce and Gabbana Designers Sentenced to 18 Months in Jail for Tax Evasion.

Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana
This is so not in fashion.
Dolce & Gabbana designers Domenico Dolce, 55, and Stefano Gabbana, 51, were each sentenced to 18 months in jail by an Italian appeals court today after being convicted on charges of hiding hundreds of millions of euros from Italian tax authorities. The court upheld a guilty ruling that was made back in June 2013. The sentence was reduced from 20 months to 18 because of the statute of limitations in Italian law.
Dolce and Gabbana's accountant Luciano Patellito was also sentenced to one year and six months in jail.
Dolce and Gabbana were charged after they sold their brand to the Luxembourg-based company Gado in 2004 to avoid having to pay dues in Italy, which has been hard up for cash thanks to the ongoing economic crisis in the Euro zone.
"I am speechless. We are all shocked," Massimo Dinoia, a lawyer for Dolce and Gabbana, reportedly said afer the initial ruling. "The judgment is inexplicable and we will appeal."
Celeb fans of the D&G designers include Scarlett Johansson, Katy Perry, Jennifer Hudson and Victoria Beckham, to name a few.

Kevin McCall Denied Visitation Rights After Restraining Order By Eva Marcille.

eva & kevin Mccall Compound Entertainment And Malibu Red GRAMMY Midnight Brunch 2013
Eva Marcille filed a restraining order against her baby’s father Kevin McCall earlier this month and it appears that things have not gotten better between the two. According to reports, Eva has been given full custody of their daughter Marley and Kevin denied visitation rights.
“It is unfortunate that life has thrown a curve Into Eva’s life but as a responsible parent and adult she’s taking steps to ensure the safety and well-being of their child and herself,” a rep for Eva said.
Kevin is not allowed to come within 100 yards of Eva and Marley after he allegedly kicked down several doors in their home threatened to punch her and tried to snatch the baby out of Eva’s hands.
Days after the assault, Eva and McCall were photo’d together and posted the picture on Instagram with the hashtag #familyfirst.
Kevin isn’t the only celeb male to be caught up in domestic violence accusations. We announce earlier today that The Dream is being questioned for allegedly attacking his baby’s mother while she was pregnant. Columbus Short violated probation by ransacking his family home against court orders. Not to mention, the other countless acts of domestic violence that we’ve reported this week.
Sigh. What is happening to the male race?

Who Wore It Better? Iman vs. Heidi Klum in Michael Kors’s Leather Belted Pleated Dress.

Iman was honored at the Variety Power Of Women: New York event in the same $2,995 Michael Kors Leather Belted Pleated Dress Heidi Klum sported back in January of this year.
Both ladies kept the styling simple — opting for loose waves, minimal makeup and jewelry, and chocolate leather sandals.
The nutmeg-hued dress features accordion-pleats, a front-slit, A-line silhouette, and is cinched at the waist by a large python belt. What do you think? Who wore it better?

Miley Cyrus Suffers Health Setback, Singer Is Forced to Reschedule Next Concert in Amsterdam.

Miley Cyrus, Instagram
Miley Cyrus isn't out of the woods just yet.
E! News has exclusively learned that the "We Can't Stop" singer has "had a health setback and her allergic reaction issues have returned."
Doctors initially gave a prognosis that Cyrus would require anywhere from 5 to 27 days of recovery, and it seems that she's needing more time to get well.
But the timing couldn't be worse for the former Disney darling who is about to embark on the European leg of her sold-out Bangerz tour.

Rihanna’s Response to Haters On Her NSFW Naked Photos.

Rihanna Instagram
The outspoken songstress found a cheeky way to respond to the backlash however.
First, she posted a doctored photo of her looking extra conservative with the words "Rih's next magazine cover if it was up to Instagram." Snap!
Then, she asked fans to send in their best drawings of the Lui photo shoot—because art can't be taken down, right?! Right.
So far she's posted several sketches from her navy and has tagged them all as "phan art" using the hashtag "iheartrihanna."
And RiRi found yet another loophole in the nude pic controversy, she posted the shoot in its entirety on her Twitter page.
Take that, Instagram!

Yasss!
Usher is serving straight “My Way” swag in the teaser visuals to his new track “Good Kisser” and we’re sooo here for it. After going pop for more of his recent tracks, the “Confessions” singer is returning to his roots on his eight album, due in stores this fall.
The forthcoming disc features collaborations with Rico Love and Jermaine Dupri (who were the masterminds behind his classic album “Confessions”) Mike WiLL Made It, and Pharrell.
Pharrell recently raved about the album at Coachella when Usher joined him on stage. “Please get ready for this man’s next album. It’s so amazing!” he said.
At the end of the 40-sec “Good Kisser” clip, Usher brings back his famous “U” chain that he frequently wore during the height of his career (“My Way,” “8701″ and “Confessions). From the looks of it, Usher is pulling a few pages from his early projects. If so, fans have a lot to look forward to!
Usher is currently a judge on “The Voice” and slimmed down to embody the character of Sugar Ray Leonard in a biopic set to be released this year.

A Kidnapped Nigerian School Girl Escapes And Speaks: Terrorist Group Said ‘Nothing Will Happen To You’.


While the young women have not yet been found, one managed to escape with two friends and is talking about the horrific experience.
Eighteen-year-old Deborah Sanya said in The New Yorker that militants of the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram arrived at her boarding school on the night of her final exam before graduation. When they arrived, Sanya said the men told all of the girls, “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to you,” but it turns out they were plotting their next move. She says the men took food, stole school supplies and set the school on fire before eventually gathering the girls onto trucks and motorcycles. Sanya admits that the girls were nervous, but still thought they were in safe hands. It was only when the men started shooting guns and shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great” in Islam) that she realized the men had lied.

J. Lo appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live a few nights ago in the white version of the sheer Balmain dress Porsha Williams wore to Club Reign. While Porscha opted for peep toe Louboutins, Jenny went for a point toed pump.
The dress, seen below in black, has horizontal stripes and sheer sleeves. I think both ladies rocked it right, though I have a slight preference for J. Lo’s simple take.

According to Tanee, Columbus broke a door off its hinges, ripped off her bed sheets and left on a bunch of lights. Short, who has a string of violent charges against his record, was recently fired from “Scandal” over his bad behavior. You think he’d get some help, but things only seem to be getting worse.

It was all about prints for Zoe Saldana at the 2014 AOL NewFronts in NYC. The actress looked ready for Spring, though she was sporting a Blue and White Printed Top and Layered Skirt from Roksanda Ilincic’s Fall 2014 collection. She gave her look a pop of color with red lips and Christian Louboutin Pumps. Only the skirt portion of her look was shown on the runway. Pretty! I actually love this length on Zoe, though it wouldn’t necessarily work for everyone. Check it out below:

When Did She Wear It Better? Kim Kardashian in Faith Connexion’s Draped Pants.

when-did-she-wear-it-better-kim-kardashian-faith-connexion-draped-pants
Kim Kardashian traipsed through LAX Airport (to Paris for her wedding perhaps?) in the same $508 Faith Connexion Draped Pants she originally sported three weeks ago.
In the airport, Kim stuck to the classic color palette of black and white with a draped blouse, nude pumps, and a $1,675 YSL Gold Tassel Clutch. The first time around, Kim paired the trousers with a shawl lapel blazer, sheer blouse, a $3,480 Bottega Veneta Woven Chain Knot Minaudiere, and her favorite Tom Ford sandals.
The soft charmeuse pants feature front draping and angled cuffs.
I loved both looks — I’m all about a comfortable, yet stylish draped pair of pants.
What do you think? When did she wear ‘em better? Check them out below:

Rihanna’s Lui Magazine Photo Shoot: Is Nudity Empowering or Objectifying? (Images NSFW).

lui-1
Yesterday, I posted Snapshots of Rihanna’s latest photo shoot: a series of images lensed by Mario Sorrenti for men’s magazine Lui.
Although the pictures were artful and beautiful, my knee jerk reaction was to trash the post…because I didn’t see much in terms of fashion. My favorite Bajan was basically nude.On top of the nudity, I felt some images were borderline vulgar. For example, a picture of a bottomless Rihanna in a modified downward dog pose, looking entreatingly at the camera with her bikini tanned buttocks stuck high in the air.

4 Major Things To Consider Before Going Into Business With Loved ones.

office-romance
I have personally been approached to enter into business ventures with others on several occasion.
I had trepidation surrounding the decision to go into business with loved ones and so how should you determine if it’s the right time and right person to enter into a business venture?
 Here are four issues to consider before making that commitment:

Face Time: 3 Ways Your Face Lies About Your True Feelings.

black-women
Social science experts agree — much of what we “say” is never actually spoken. “Facial expressions and other body language account for more than half of our communication,” says Adam J. Scheiner, M.D., an international Oculoplastic surgeon who’s been featured on “The Dr. Oz Show” and “The Doctors.”
“When we look at someone, especially when we’re meeting for the first time, we quickly scan the eye and mouth areas of the other person’s face to make some quick judgments: Are they friendly or a potential threat? Are they trustworthy? We form first impressions within 7 seconds of meeting.”
You never get a second chance to make a first impression, so make sure your face is good because those first impressions can become misleading due to the normal aging process and damage caused by stress, diet and environmental factors, particularly sun exposure.
“I call them the three D’s of aging: Our skin begins to deteriorate; our faces deflate, making them narrower and wrinkled; and our eyelids and face descend, causing drooping and sagging,” Scheiner says. “All of these can affect what our face communicates to those around us.”
It’s bad enough to communicate something you don’t really feel, he says. It’s worse when people react to that communication so often, such as saying, “You look so tired,” that you actually begin to believe you are tired, he says.
He shares the three common “miscommunications” your face makes:

Kim Kardashian Jets Off in Low-Cut White Blouse, Almost Looks Too Hot to Get on an Airplane.

Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian has set a new high for airport style.
The  star was catching a flight out of Los Angeles this afternoon and she almost looked too good to be getting on an airplane, even if she was headed for first class.
For her trip, Kim was wearing slim-fitting shiny black trousers that draped just so around her thighs but tapered off at a bias around the ankles. Her low-cut white blouse provided a flash of casual cleavage and she accessorized elegantly with nude pumps, a delicate chain necklace and a metallic purse.
The monochromatic look, with just a hint of gold, couldn't help but provide a smashing background for her huge engagement ring. A member of her entourage was pulling her Louis Vuitton roller bag as she made her way into LAX.
Not that Kim's streamlined look came as a surprise: She's been looking particularly sleek lately, just yesterday being spotted in a black blazer and a plunging black T-shirt, the two combing for effortless business chic.
It's starting to become impossible not to think about what Kim's going to want to wear on her big day...
Its been reported that she and Kanye West are planning on obtaining a marriage license and having a civil wedding ceremony in the United States before jetting off to France to tie the knot in a more lavish fashion.

Naya Rivera Written Out of Glee's Season Finale—but It Has "Nothing to Do With Lea Michele," Sources Say.

GLEE, Naya Rivera, Lea Michele
Naya Rivera will not be a part of Glee's fifth-season finale, and her future on the show has not yet been decided, E! News has learned.
Though the original plan was to include Naya in the final episode of the season, slated for May 13, her character Santana Lopez has been written out of the script, we are told by multiple sources. (Fox is not commenting.)
Insiders point out that this change has nothing whatsoever to do with Lea Michele, nor the recent rumors of a falling out—and tension on set—between the two starlets.
"[Naya] isn't fired and her not being in the finale has nothing to do with Lea," says one source who works on Glee. "I don't know where these stories are coming from, but they are not true."

"Donna, love and prayers to you and your family. Chelsea was a beautiful girl and I am so happy I was able to meet her," the card read. "She touched my heart and I will never forget her."

Instagram Sends Rihanna A Warning: Cover Up Or We’re Deleting Your Account!

rihanna red lip
When it comes to Rihanna and her nudity, Instagram is playing no games.
According to sources, the photo-sharing app threatened to shut down RiRi’s account after she posted topless snaps from her recent photo shoot with Lui magazine. The pics, which violated IG’s rules against nudity, where removed within an hour of posting.
“Our Instagram sources tell us Rihanna got an email that basically warned her … keep your clothes on or risk having your account permanently shut down,” TMZ reports.
But, in typical RiRi fashion, the threat didn’t phase her at all. The Bajan beauty simply headed to Twitter to share the banned shots of her exposed breasts.
 What can we say? She follows her own rules, always did and always will.

A source tells People magazine that Harry found Bonas "too needy" and that "it just wasn't working out."

‘Free Our Girls’ March Organized For The 234 Abducted Nigerian Girls Who Are Still Missing.

nigerian-girls
It’s been a solid 14 days since the devastating news of over 230 abducted Nigerian school girls rocked our worlds. These hundreds of girls from Government Girls’ Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State are still missing and by the looks of it, the Boko Haram (an Islamic insurgent terrorist group opposed to western education with ties to the Al Quaeda) may be to blame. The group’s name literally translates to “western education is a sin.” This violent group launched a relentless campaign on Nigeria, targeting markets, mosques, schools and more. In fact, the school where the 234 girls were abducted was the last one open in the region.
In response to the abductions, women in Nigeria met and are planning to hold a million woman march in Abuja in hopes of securing the release of their girls. The meeting had in attendance wives of service chiefs in the state, nongovernmental organizations, women professional bodies, representatives of Federation of Muslims Women Associations (FOMWAN), Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) among others.

Is Your Brazilian Hair Really From Brazil? The Biggest Schemes & Scams In The Virgin Human Hair Industry.

Hair
Have you ever wondered if your weave hair really comes from India? Or Brazil? Or Mongolia? Or Peru? Well, sorry to break it to you, but most likely it does not. The human hair trade is a growing – and very lucrative – industry. With sales exceeding 12 billion dollars a year, customers should look out for scams and marketing ploys of every kind.
I am a known hair extension fanatic. I love my pure-virgin-remy-premium-raw-unprocessed human hair just like every other hairlista out there, but spending my hard-earned coins on bad quality hair one too many times has made me extremely skeptical of every YouTube guru, beauty supply store and wholesaler out there. As a result, I went on a quest to find out where this exotic hair really comes from. I sat down for an one-on-one interview with Los Angeles-based Indian hair importer and salesman Vince Selva to get the scoop on some of the biggest hair scams and how to look out for them.
