Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Are Not Getting Married

Update: So you know how we got all excited about Brangelina finally tying the knot...well evidently it's not going to happen any time soon, according to Peopleanyways.  Multiple sources are claiming that the allegations that the longtime couple are walking down the aisle this summer are completely false, stating, "there is no evidence nor any single truth" to the matter.  So there you have it -- shortest engagement in celebrity history.  Maybe next time it will stick.

Earlier: We've long been asking...and they've finally answered! Us Weekly reports thatAngelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are officially planning for their wedding, and the event is set to take place within the next few months. Three different sources reportedly confirmed to the magazine that the nuptials were a go, and they all said the ceremony would probably take place at their renovated Chateau Miraval in Correns, France, and we are not to expect an over-the-top and extravagant union. Rather, it's more likely to be "intimate and informal."

In the past, Angelina and Brad have both said they wouldn't get married until gay marriage was legalized. And with the recent passing of the gay rights bill by the New York State Senate, it's probably no coincidence that there are rumors of them beginning to plan their big day. The couple have openly spoken about the additional pressure to tie the knot that they get from their children, and Brad even told USA Today in May that his children with Angelina were continually asking when their parents were going to get married: "[Marriage is] meaning more and more to them," he said. And seeing as how Angelina and Brad are incredibly outnumbered at home, it's kind of shocking they didn't pull a few strings to make the gay marriage bill pass sooner so they could get married and shut their kids up without reneging on their desire for social justice. Uh oh. WAIT.

Irene leaves Vt. facing 'full-blown flooding catastrophe


Vermont residents battled epic flooding on Monday after the remnants of Hurricane Irene set off the state's worst flooding in nearly 40 years, washing out roads and knocking out power.
At least one person was killed after being swept into a swollen river in the mountainous, land-locked New England state, which rarely sees tropical storms.
Homes and businesses were flooded after 7 inches of rain inundated the state from Irene, which had been reduced to a tropical storm by the time it reached Vermont on Sunday. Floodwaters gushed through downtown Brattleboro, an artsy community of 12,000 along the Connecticut River.
On Monday, President Barack Obama signed Vermont's emergency declaration, directing federal aid to supplement state and local response efforts, NBC News reported.
Downgraded from a hurricane as it lumbered up the coast, Irene left millions without power across much of the Eastern Seaboard, was blamed for at least 27 deaths and forced airlines to cancel more than 12,000 flights.
It never became the big-city nightmare forecasters and public officials had warned about, but it still had the ability to surprise.
And the danger was far from over for many.
Rivers and creeks turned into raging torrents tumbling with tree limbs and parts of buildings in northern New England and upstate New York.
The National Weather Service issued a series of flood warnings early Monday morning for rivers in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York and Virginia.
A river gauge for the Connecticut River at Montague, Ma., showed it had risen by about 25 feet between 6 a.m. Friday and 6 a.m. ET Monday,

53 dead in attack on casino in northern Mexico


Two dozen gunmen burst into a casino in northern Mexico on Thursday, doused it with gasoline and started a fire that trapped gamblers inside, killing 53 people and injuring a dozen more, authorities said.
Among the dead were at least 35 women and 10 men, Mexico's Excelsior newspaper reported. The gender of eight of the bodies had not been determined, the paper said.
The fire at the Casino Royale in Monterrey, a relatively wealthy city of 4 million that has seen a surge in drug cartel-related violence, represented one of the deadliest attacks on an entertainment center in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon launched an offensive against drug cartels in late 2006.
Nuevo Leon state Gov. Rodrigo Medina told the Televisa network that 53 people had been confirmed dead in the attack.
"But we could find more," said state Attorney General Leon Adrian de la Garza, adding that a drug cartel was apparently responsible for the attack.

Hurricane Irene could become Category 4 by Thursday 150,000 tourists in North Carolina urged to leave as the hurricane nears


Forecasters say Hurricane Irene that is taking aim at the East Coast could become a Category 4 monster by Thursday.
The National Hurricane Center late Wednesday said Irene approached the northwestern Bahamas as a Category 3 storm with winds at 120 mph.
The head of the National Emergency Management Agency in the Bahamas said he was getting what he called disturbing initial reports of damages from Irene in two southern islands Wednesday night.
Capt. Stephen Russell tells The Associated Press that at least two settlements have been devastated on Acklins and Crooked islands. Russells says an official there reports that 90 percent of the homes in the settlements have been severely damaged or destroyed. Several hundred people live on each island. No injuries have been reported.
The two islands were among the first to be hit Wednesday as the hurricane made its way up the island chain. Tourists fled the storm and major cruise lines canceled Bahamas stops.
Forecasters say the storm could strengthen quickly over the next day.
Evacuations urged
Hurricane and tropical storm watches will likely be required for parts of the coast of the Carolinas by early Thursday.
Winds in Category 4 storms are more than 131 mph.
Earlier Wednesday, officials in one North Carolina county urged tourists there to evacuate starting Thursday. Forecasters warn Irene could clip North Carolina's coast on Saturday and then threaten the densely populated Northeast, including New York, starting on Sunday.
"It's in the warmest water in the most favorable environment for hurricanes so it could get stronger," said Bill Reid, director of the National Hurricane Center.
Forecasters see Irene striking North Carolina's Outer Banks region on Saturday evening and then taking a coast-hugging track up the mid-Atlantic and New England coastline.
Hurricane-force winds extend 60 miles from Irene's center so even a track off the coast could do damage on land. Hurricane-force winds extend 230 miles out.

Lara Marsden: Identified as Brad Pitt Mystery Woman, Driving Angelina Jolie Nuts


The "truth" about Brad Pitt’s mystery girl has been revealed.
According to OK! Magazine, anyway. Whatever that's worth.
Her name is Lara Marsden, the tabloid reports, "a sexually provocative Brit" who’s serving as his assistant on the set of World War Z in England and Scotland.
Serving as his assistant - and driving Angelina Jolie bonkers!

Who is Lara Marsden? Is that even her in this pic? We aren't sure, to be honest with you. But that's what people are saying. Take it with a boulder of gossipy salt, THGers.
It's no secret that Angelina wears the pants in the relationship, but when it comes to the set of Brad's movies, there's only so much she can do.
If there's a sexually provocative assistant around, her jealousy has no choice but to fester. Cue the obligatory breakup rumors by mid-September

Kim Kardashian Wedding Details: The Dress, The Vows, The Hilarious News Report!


Did you hear that Kim Kardashian got married to Kris Humphries last night? It's true. It was a small ceremony, with just a few friends and very little fuss and.... JUST KIDDING!!!
There were 450 guests. Millions were spent. Millions more were earned by the participants, and we've got all the details below. First, though, we present the CNN report that almost made this ridiculous affair worthwhile. Check out the kid in the background:

As for the ceremony itself, with facts courtesy of E!, which will present live coverage of the wedding tonight? Deep breath...
  • Kim donned a strapless, ivory Vera Wang dress with a long train.
  • She wore Guiseppe Zanotti shoes.
  • Kris Humphries sported a Ermenegildo Zegna tuxedo, with black pants, a white shirt and a white bow tie.
  • Lorraine Schwartz designed the wedding rings.
  • Kim's party, all in ivory, consisted of Khloé Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian , Kylie and Kendal Jenner and Kris' sister, Kaela Humphries.
  • A passage in the program, written by Kim, read: "I so wish my dad could be here today to walk me down the aisle. But I know in a way he is here, and I feel his loving presence all around me. I love and miss you, dad."
  • What does Kim love most about Kris? She told the pastor before the event and it was then relayed to guests: he puts a smile on her face, is the "yin to her yang" and other cliches.
  • Kris loves Kim's compassion and how dedicated she is to family.
  • The ceremony, which included helicopters flying overhead at all times, concluded with a prayer. No truth to the rumor that it started with: Dear Lord, cha-ching! Thank you for creating E!, Twitter and Facebook....
People Magazine paid around $1 million for the rights to the wedding photos, which will be published in this week's edition.

Man United Vs Tottenham at Old Trafford :Match Preview

Fergie enthused by next generationManchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is relishing watching his latest crop of young guns blaze a new trail at Old Trafford.It was Alan Hansen who once famously remarked of Ferguson's 1995/96 side that "you never win anything with kids", only for United to claim the double that year.The team beaten 3-1 by Aston Villa on the opening day 16 years ago that prompted Hansen's quote was, on average, a year older than the one that finished Sunday's 2-1 season-opening victory at West Brom.With the likes of Gary Neville and Paul Scholes now retired, it is a sign of the times that youth is again at the forefront at United as Ferguson masterminds the latest rejuvenation of his squad."We were always aware we had players who were coming to the end of their careers. That has been on the horizon for us for quite a few years," said Ferguson."We knew it was going to happen, you don't want it to, but it does and there's nothing you can do about it. Age catches up with us all."So we've replaced the players who have left us, and we've still players at the club in their 30s, which is a lot of experience."At some point when the young players may hit a pocket there will be enough experience to augment the challenge we're after this year."It is a very young team at the moment, but it's one full of energy and of great ability, and I'm enjoying watching them."It is likely there will be only one player over 30 in the starting line-up for the visit of Tottenham, with Patrice Evra returning at left-back after missing the game at The Hawthorns with an ankle injury.With skipper Nemanja Vidic sidelined for up to five weeks with a calf injury and fellow centre-back Rio Ferdinand almost certainly out with a hamstring problem, youth will most evidently be on show in defence.Aside from Evra, ahead of 20-year-old goalkeeper David De Gea, new signing Phil Jones and Jonny Evans, 19 and 23 respectively, line up at the heart, with 21-year-old Chris Smalling in at right-back."I'm not worried about the young players filling in at the back," added Ferguson.Meanwhile, Jake Livermore has told manager Harry Redknapp that he is ready for a run in Tottenham's first team after impressing on his European debut this week.Livermore, 21, bagged his first strike for the club on Thursday when he stroked home from 18 yards to score the third goal of the club's 5-0 Europa League play-off demolition of Hearts.The Enfield-born midfielder looked calm and assured as he put on a strong display in Luka Modric's absence to maintain his impressive pre-season form.Livermore has been sent on loan to no fewer than six Football League teams since he started his Spurs career in 2006, but he is now determined to stake a claim for a regular place in Redknapp's first XI, starting with the trip to Old Trafford.Redknapp has already pinpointed Livermore as one of the players he intends to play regularly in the Europa League this season but a number of injuries in midfield may mean that he gets a run in the early stages of the club's Barclays Premier League campaign too.The youngster admits that decision lies with Redknapp, but he is confident that he can deliver if called upon."Hopefully I can keep myself in the team now. I believe I am ready for the first team but it's just a matter of getting the chance," Livermore said."It's difficult to get in because we have such a strong squad throughout. It's hard for the manager. All you can do when you see your name on the team sheet is go out there and give it your all. You never know. We have a few injuries. I'll just have to wait and see."Luka Modric is likely to return to Tottenham's starting line-up after missing the 5-0 win over Hearts with a minor groin injury.Tom Huddlestone (ankle) could also return after starting on the bench at Tynecastle, but fellow midfielders Sandro, Wilson Palacios (both knee) Steven Pienaar (groin), and Jermaine Jenas (Achilles) are all out.Peter Crouch (ankle) will undergo a late test but Ledley King and Alan Hutton are sidelined with knee injuries and William Gallas is also out with a calf problem.

Britney Spears Caught Up in New Sex-Tape Scandal

Things are going from bad to worse forBritney Spears--she's now caught up in a new sex-tape scandal.

A day after losing physical custody of her kids to ex-husband Kevin Federline, an unnamed 28-year-old man has come forward with sex tales.

The mystery guy claims to have bedded Spears while she was vacationing on Hawaii in June--and he caught the sexploits on camera.

And Spears' one-night-stand lover insists the only thing that has been stopping him from going public with the sex tape is the fact that he wasn't happy with his own performance caught on camera.

He tells In Touch Weekly magazine, "It was just normal sex, we didn't do anything crazy. It was a little disappointing. It lasted for about 25 minutes and then we passed out."

The 28-year-old reveals he was living on Hawaii's Big Island when he met Spears at a bar on June 7.

They retired to her room at the Four Seasons hotel on the KonaKohala Coast and made love. The mystery lover admits Spears had no knowledge he was filming their sex session.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony Divorcing


Married life is over for Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony.
The Latino power couple, who tied the knot seven years ago and have two children together, announced on Friday afternoon that they plan on divorcing. The couple told People exclusively:
“We have decided to end our marriage … This was a very difficult decision. We have come to amicable conclusions on all matters … It is a painful time for all involved and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time.”

The reason behind that Lopez is making such statements is that she will not feel comfortable filming sex scenes when her husband is around and does not want to torture him.  
 
"I didn't want to torture the poor guy. He shouldn't be watching when I'm seducing another man on a kitchen table. Personally I don't like doing love scenes at all, because they make me feel uncomfortable," Lopez said.
 
In the movie, the actress is portraying the role of a woman who is desperate to get pregnant.
Lopez and Anthony are the parents of twins Max and Emme, who are 3 years old. They gave no indication of what their plans are for custody of the children.

After much speculation of a possible baby on board in 2008 — and after dodging several questions during interviews — Lopez confirmed that she was expecting during a concert in Miami.
Lopez has seen a career resurgence of late, having taken on the role of American Idol judge this past season, which in turn kick-started her music career back up. While there has been speculation as to whether she’ll return to Idol for another season, this news will likely play a major part in her decision. Still, there’s no doubting Lopez re-established herself as a major pop artist, thanks in part to smash hits like “On the Floor.”
As for Anthony, he has remained private through much of the couple’s marriage, continuing his wildly successful recording career as well.

Aamir Khan, the new Munna Bhai?


According to latest buzz, Aamir Khan will replace Sanjay Dutt in the Munna Bhai franchise. Dutt has been dropped from the third part as he is too old for the film now. Also, Arshad Warsi will be replaced by Sharman Joshi.
The filmmakers were looking for a fresh paring and Aamir-Sharman seemed the perfect choice. "The idea of casting Aamir and Sharman came up during the shoot of 3 Idiots. Hirani felt that a new pair would bring in a fresh breath of air into the film. Aamir and Sharman have amazing comic timing and also great chemistry onscreen. You can see that even in their first film together, Rang De Basanti. When he shared the idea with Aamir, he loved it. He told Rajkumar that he would be game for it if the script was interesting," a source told Mid Day.
Another source confirmed the news: "Though Sanjay played Munna Bhai to perfection, having Aamir on board will take the franchise to the next level. He is not only a fine actor, but also a much bigger brand name, and a marketing genius,"
Dutt is not happy with this development. "A few months ago, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani had a closed door meeting with Sanju, where they told him that they would not be going ahead with him in the Munna Bhai sequel. This definitely upset Sanju," a source close to the franchise informed the tabloid.
Will Aamir be able to create the same magic as original Munna Bhai? Wait and watch.

I took break to plan my future – Ayesha Takia


Ayesha Takia, who is making a comeback with director Nagesh Kuknoor’s “Mod”, says the break post her marriage was a practical step towards a secured future.
After marrying restaurateur Farhan Azmi in 2009, Ayesha got involved in his restaurant business. Salman-starrer super-hit “Wanted” was her last release.
“I had been working for so many years before ‘Wanted’, which did really well at the box office and I am thankful for that. I really took time to understand about the restaurant business,” Ayesha told reporters at the unveiling of first look of “Mod” here Tuesday.
“I took the break because I really needed to look at the things from an outsider’s perspective. As an actor, it helped me a lot.”
Her love for acting inspired her to make a come-back, she said.
“For me, it’s really about the craft and I enjoy it thoroughly. So, if I don’t sign anything that genuinely excites me, I lose interest right there. I was fortunate that Nagesh came to me with ‘Mod’,” said Ayesha, who made her debut as an actress with “Taarzan: The Wonder Car” in 2004.
The 25-year-old, who earned critical acclaim for her performance in Kukunoor’s “Dor”, is all praise for the director for extracting the best out of her.
“Nagesh is one who truly brings out the best in me. He taught me my true potential as an actor. I am fortunate to get a chance to work with Nagesh, who gives me role any girl would die for.”
“After ‘Dor’, I didn’t think it was possible to do such a role again, but ‘Mod’ is the best film for me to do after a long wait,” said Ayesha.
Set in a small hill station, “Mod” is a love story about two different people. In the film, she has been paired with MTV VJ Rannvijay.
Ayesha is in awe of the character she essays in the film.
“The character I play is amazing. She is matured, independent and totally opposite me. I am amazing (laughs) but not that independent. She manages her life. She has this clock store and earns her living. She meets Raanvijay and falls in love with him.”
“She is unlike the character I have ever played before. When you do a Nagesh film, you really go into that detail about the character, her mind and her life. So, the character is amazing and I would miss her forever,” she said.
Releasing Sep 30, the film also stars actor Raghuvir Yadav and Tanvi Azmi in pivotal roles.

"Jerry Lewis" no longer MDA's national chairman

Jerry Lewis no longer MDA's national chairman

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Comedian Jerry Lewis is no longer serving as the MDA national chairman and won't be appearing on this year's Labor Day telethon, the nonprofit agency announced Wednesday night.
Lewis, 85, has been the MDA's national chairman since the early 1950s and has hosted the Labor DayMuscular Dystrophy Association telethon since 1966.
He announced in May that he was retiring as host of the telethon that has become synonymous with his name. But Lewis added that he planned to make his final appearance on this year's Sept. 4, show and planned on continuing to serve as MDA's national chairman.
MDA Chairman of the Board R. Rodney Howell said in a statement that Lewis "will not be appearing on the telethon" and "we will not be replacing him as MDA national chairman."
