Megan Fox admits her and husband Brian Austin Green’s visit to Hawaii this month could lead to the couple renewing their vows — something she wouldn’t have considered before. "I didn't think that I was into it until my relationship with Brian," she tells E! News. "He's very sensitive and very emotional. He's a Cancer so he's very all about feelings and relationships and he cries about everything. He'll want to do it, so I'll do it for him." Fox also revealed plans for a swim with dolphins during the trip, despite Green’s reservations: "My husband is terrified of sharks but we're going to do it anyway," she says. "I didn't used to be [scared of sharks], but I am now because of him. His fear is so intense, it's smothered me and now I'm afraid."
Gerard Butler is reportedly pulling out all the stops to woo “Twilight” star Ashley Greene, according to Us Weekly. The pair were spotted together at an event in New York recently, where Butler "had a hand on her shoulder and leaned in to her. He really turned on the charm," according to a source, who also claims Butler was spotted with his hand on Greene’s rear. The “300” star reportedly spent the night ordering Greene’s drinks for her and entertaining her with a rendition of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing.”
Hugh Hefner’s ex-fiancée, Crystal Harris, called things off so close to their wedding day that Hefner didn’t even have time to change the cover of the latest issue of Playboy, featuring Harris with the headline “Introducing Mrs. Crystal Hefner.” So what’s a publisher to do? "Recent events call for a special sticker on the July cover. Look for it on newsstands," Hefner posted to Twitter. The issue was published with the original cover, but with a bright red sticker reading, “Runaway bride in this issue!”
While Reese Witherspoon’s advice to young starlets at the MTV Movie Awards about avoiding reality shows and sex tapes may have been meant as a joke, but “Girls Gone Wild” impresario Joe Francis thinks the Oscar-winning actress was "showing her age by making those comments,” according to Popeater. "I just think that Reese needs to rethink what she said," Joe says. "Once you have a sex tape, you become a sex symbol … . Look at Marilyn Monroe. Had she never done that Playboy cover, we wouldn't be talking about her right now."
It’s apparently costing NBC a pretty penny to get Christina Aguilera on TV, as the singer is reportedly earning $225,000 an episode for her work as a judge on “the Voice,” according to the Hollywood Reporter. Her fellow judges aren’t so lucky though, as Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton are said to be pulling in $75,000 an episode.
Keanu Reeves has taken up the written word, starting with a book called “Ode to Happiness” — but the text is anything but sunny, including lines like, “I draw a hot sorrow bath. In my despair room.” "I was in my kitchen hanging out with my friend Janey, and the radio was on, and this station was playing, like, an orgy of depressing, self-pitying, nostalgic music," Reeves explains to the Guardian. "It was so voluptuously horrible. And I just started to write on this piece of paper, because I had this image of, you know, that moment when you take a bath, you light that candle, and you're really just kind of depressed. And it was making Janey laugh so hard, I just kept going, piling on the self-pity." Interested readers can get the book for $55 online.
