'Aside from being beautiful, she's extremely funny, charismatic and fun to be around,' he says of rumored girlfriend. By Eric Ditzian Taylor Lautner on the cover of the December 10th Rolling Stone Photo: Mark Seliger/Wenner Media In early October, paparazzi photos popped up on the Web of "New Moon" star Taylor Lautner running in the ocean in a soaking wet T-shirt while cradling a football. We knew the setup was for a Rolling Stone shoot by renowned photographer Mark Seliger (who shot Megan Fox's October RS cover ). What we didn't know was if Lautner's shoot was for the cover and when the photos would be published. Now we have answers. Lautner appears on the cover of the December 10 issue in that same white T-shirt, frothy waves behind him and the football clutched behind his head. In the accompanying article, the "Twilight" werewolf opens up about what he called the crazy luck that made him one of 2009's breakout stars and his rumored relationship with ...

'Saturday Night Live': Andy Samberg loves Reba McIntyre

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:33:41 +0000

"Saturday Night Live" star Andy Samberg has found a new love -- country singer Rebe McIntyre . Video below. Besides Joseph Gordon-Levitt's opening and the Sarah Palin "2012" spoof , the funniest part of "SNL" was a new digital short. We cannot explain this video. We cannot explain where an idea like "let's have Andy sing a song about being in love with Reba McIntyre, who is actually a black man wearing a red wig" comes from. We cannot really explain why it's funny. But it is. Very, very funny. We sincerely hope "Saturday Night Live" can do a follow-up video that features the real Reba McIntyre. She's acted before, we're sure she'd be game. Make it happen, SNL!

'SNL': Joseph Gordon-Levitt makes us laugh, Sarah Palin is President in '2012'

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:04:25 +0000

Joseph Gordon-Levitt's "Saturday Night Live" "Make 'Em Laugh" performance was one of the best openings we've seen in awhile, followed by an excellent faux-movie trailer for "2012." If you aren't familiar with the song "Make 'Em Laugh," you should go out and rent "Singin' in the Rain" as soon as possible. The number is comedian Donald O'Connor's most famous performance . Tonight Joseph Gordon-Levitt opened "Saturday Night Live" with a full performance of "Make 'Em Laugh," complete with backflips off the scenery just like O'Connor did in "Singin' in the Rain." It was delightful. Video as soon as it's available. Follow the Levitt's opening, "SNL" brought us a trailer for disaster movie "2012." Except the "disaster" part of the movie was Sarah Palin being elected president in 2012. The worst part? Glenn Beck was her VP! It's unfortunate the show followed up those gems with a painfully unfunny spoof on the old game show "Password." But we guess you can only hope for a couple bright spots ...

Justin Bieber, 30 Seconds to Mars, Fabolous, Owl City, Cobra Starship also suit up for radio gigs. By Gil Kaufman Taylor Swift Photo: Rick Diamond/Getty Images 'Tis the season for inappropriately early Christmas decorations, conspicuous consumption and, most importantly, holiday radio shows. The end-of-year tradition of smashing a dozen completely unrelated acts onto a stage together as a thank you to fans (and radio programmers) is about to kick off, and this season's offerings offer multiple coast-to-coast appearances by everyone from Muse to Taylor Swift, 30 Seconds to Mars, Justin Bieber and Kris Allen. One of the season's most pop-tastic rosters is for Z100 (WHTZ) in New York's annual Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden on December 11. The talent lineup includes Taylor Swift, John Mayer, Justin Bieber, the Fray, Jordin Sparks, Kris Allen, Boys Like Girls, Pitbull, Owl City, Jay Sean and Ke$ha.

'Dancing with the Stars' finale welcomes Whitney Houston

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:16:44 +0000

"Dancing with the Stars" guest-star list just keeps growing -- they've now added Whitney Houston to the season 9 finale. Whitney Houston is joining the ranks of Taylor Swift, Queen Latifah and Susan Boyle as a guest performer on the ninth season of "Dancing with the Stars," ABC confirms for Zap2It. Houston is slated to perform for the season finale results show, just two days after she performs live for the American Music Awards on ABC. Houston has most recently been promoting her new album, "I Look to You," but we're hoping she performs an oldie like "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" or "I'm Your Baby Tonight." Wouldn't it be great to have the female professional dancers dress up as the characters Whitney played in the "I'm Your Baby Tonight" video for a group dance? We think that would be outstanding. The "Dancing with the Stars" final results show airs Tuesday, Nov. 24 on ABC. Follow Andrea on Twitter and follow Zap2It on Twitter for all your movies, TV and celebrity news Related ...

'Saturday Night Live': January Jones is no Taylor Swift

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:43:49 +0000

After musician Taylor Swift brought "Saturday Night Live" to a surprising, hilarious season high the previous week, actress January Jones had less success bringing the humor to that level on Nov. 14. Jones still doesn't seem quite comfortable with comedy. Not exactly the best way to prove your acting chops to unsupportive ex-boyfriend Ashton Kutcher . Perhaps it wasn't Jones who was at fault, but the writers who didn't quite know what to do with her. Nevertheless, the "Mad Men" actress had a few highlights that mainly played off her very outwardly proper Betty Draper character. And of course, she looked gorgeous. The best by far was the "Ladies' Guide to Party Planning" skit, a period piece spoof that poked at the veneer of propriety that veiled other problems. Check it out: The rather uninspired opening monologue placed Jones as the straight man, whilst cast members played "Mad Mennies" -- extreme fans of "Mad Men." Nice shout out by Fred Armisen about his preference for Peggy, ...

Wynonna Judd Explains Taylor Swift Dis

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:28:08 +0000

Judd clarifies what she said at the CMA Awards regarding Swift being too young for her success. By Kyle Anderson Wynonna Judd Photo: Taylor Hill/ Getty Images On Wednesday night, Taylor Swift stormed the Country Music Association Awards and took home all four prizes for which she was nominated, including the much-coveted Entertainer of the Year trophy. While it seemed like a validation of Swift's success from the country music establishment, not everybody was pleased with the 19-year-old's victory. Country music legend Wynonna Judd spoke out against Swift's win, though she reversed her position on Thursday. During an interview on the show's red carpet Wednesday night, Judd was asked what advice she would give to Swift. "You want my honest comment? It's too much too soon," she said, according to USAToday.com . "Time is God's way of keeping everything from happening at once. It's just too much of a good thing too soon. Mom and I rode in a car for the first year of our ...
