Demi Moore Bikini: Ashton Kutcher's Ex Flaunts Killer Abs In A Tiny Two-Piece

Did someone say she's brooding over Ashton?!
Looks like Demi Moore is way past her breakup from her much younger ex-husband, as she was seen all smiles last weekend at a friend's home in Malibu, Calif.
Moore, 50, put her famously fit physique on display in a tiny red bikini with black and white piping, slouchy black trousers and the signature celebrity shades.
It looks like the yoga classes the actress has been taking with daughter Rumer have been paying off, since she looked every bit as sexy and as slender as she did decades ago.
And Demi seems to have moved on in more ways than one: She was recently photographed with an Australian hunk by the name of Will Hanigan, 30 (despite some outlets that are quick to report the hot romance has fizzled).
Be that as it may, halfway across the world Kutcher and his lady love Mila Kunis are still going strong. The two were seen holding hands in London over the weekend, and rumor has it that the 35-year-old hunk has already met his 29-year-old girlfriend's parents.

Ray Manzarek Dead: The Doors Founding Member Dies At 74

Ray Manzarek Dead
Ray Manzarek, keyboardist and founding member of The Doors, is dead at age 74.
Ray Manzarek, most known as a founding member of the '60s rock band The Doors, is dead. According to a message posted on the band's Facebook page, Manzarek died of bile duct cancer while in Rosenheim, Germany, on May 20. He was 74. Wife Dorothy Manzarek and brothers Rick and James were by his side.
An excerpt from the Facebook announcement is below:
"Manzarek is best known for his work with The Doors who formed in 1965 when Manzarek had a chance encounter on Venice Beach with poet Jim Morrison. The Doors went on to become one of the most controversial rock acts of the 1960s, selling more than 100-million albums worldwide … After Morrison's death in 1971, Manzarek went on to become a best-selling author, and a Grammy-nominated recording artist in his own right. In 2002, he revitalized his touring career with Doors' guitarist and long-time collaborator, Robby Krieger."
Doors guitarist Robby Krieger also confirmed the news in the Facebook message, releasing this statement: "I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my friend and bandmate Ray Manzarek. I'm just glad to have been able to have played Doors songs with him for the last decade. Ray was a huge part of my life and I will always miss him."
The Chicago-born Manzarek met Morrison while studying film at UCLA. The two went on to create one of the most iconic bands of the '60s, described by Rolling Stone as possessing "eerie, powerful, almost shamanistic invocations." The band's name comes from the drug-trip book by Aldous Huxley, "The Doors of Perception."
After Morrison's death at age 27 in 1971, Manzarek released several more albums, including a collaboration with composer Philip Glass and two solo albums.

Tina Fey, Oscars Host Next Year? 'No Way'

Tina Fey Oscars
Tina Fey, Oscars host? "No way," says Fey.
On Sunday night's Oscar telecast, William Shatner -- who appeared on the show "from the future" as Captain James T. Kirk to explain how poorly Seth MacFarlane's hosting gig would be received by the media -- asked, "Why couldn't they get Tina and Amy to host?" The Tina and Amy in question here are Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who both received rave reviews for their recent efforts hosting the Golden Globes. Fey is currently promoting her new film "Admission" (co-starring Paul Rudd and opening March 22), and we asked her about Shatner's wish and if she had any interest whatsoever in hosting the 2014 Oscars.
[The full interview with Fey will publish closer to the film's March 22nd release date.]
Congratulations on William Shatner mentioning your name during the Oscars.
[Laughs] Thank you. It's an honor to be "Shatnered."
Admittedly, of all the things I thought I'd see during the Oscars, William Shatner mentioning your name was not one of them.
No, you didn't write that on a piece of paper and mail it to yourself.
[...]
Is it a possibility that you and Amy Poehler could wind up hosting the Oscars next year? I don't know how that works with NBC, since the Golden Globes were on the same network as both of your shows. Can you two go host the Oscars on ABC if you wanted to?
No, you can. But I just feel like that gig is so hard. Especially for, like, a woman -- the amount of months that would be spent trying on dresses alone ... no way.
The reaction to Amy and you hosting the Golden Globes was really great.
Oh, thank you. We had fun.
It's disappointing to hear, "No way." I was hoping for at least "a one in a million chance."
I wish I could tell you there was.

Anne Hathaway Acceptance Speech: Best Supporting Actress Winner Practiced A Lot

Anne Hathaway Acceptance Speech
Anne Hathaway reportedly practiced her acceptance speech many times.
At Sunday's 85th annual Academy Awards, Anne Hathaway took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Les Miserables." While accepting the award, Hathaway thanked her husband and fellow "Les Mis" cast members, but not before exclaiming, "It came true!" ("It" being her dream of winning; also a play on the song she sings in "Les Miserables," "I Dreamed A Dream.")
If Hathaway's acceptance speech seemed rehearsed, that's because it reportedly was -- many, many times.
An unnamed source told Us Weekly that Hathaway practiced the speech in an effort to appear more likable. "She was very aware that she had been the butt of everyone's jokes," the source said.
Whether that speciously sourced quote is true or not, Hathaway has been the subject of widespread hate as of late, intensified in part because of her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes.
Unfortunately for Hathaway, the online barbs only continued after the Oscars. Take a spin through a sampling of the shade thrown her way below.

Canceled TV Shows 2013: Guide To The Futures Of 'The Good Wife,' 'Happy Endings' And More

Canceled Tv Shows 2013
The time has come once again: TV shows are starting to get canceled ... and renewed. As the networks begin looking at their schedules and development slates, the fates of your favorite shows are being decided.
Some shows have already been renewed -- fans will get to sink their teeth into a new season of "The Vampire Diaries" -- and others have already ended -- by choice, like "30 Rock," and others due to poor ratings, like "Partners" -- but all will be decided by May.
In the gallery below, more than 100 shows from NBC, Fox, CBS, ABC and The CW have been rated on their renewal status. Shows have been divided by network, in alphabetical order, and labeled as follows:
  • Renewed
  • Likely to be renewed
  • Likely to be canceled
  • Too soon to tell
  • On the bubble
  • Canceled
Some shows have been so deep in limbo we've given them "?" because honestly, we have no idea what's to come for them (though it doesn't look good).
Take a look at the slideshow below for our predicted futures of the hottest shows on network TV. Be sure to bookmark this page since we'll be updating the gallery as more news breaks.

Lady Gaga Tour Cancellation Will Cost Millions

The first estimates of the financial impact Lady Gaga is likely to feel after canceling all remaining dates on her Born This Way Ball Tour are in, and the numbers are ghastly.
Billboard reports that approximately $25 million in ticket sales alone will have to be refunded. The singer had sold about 200,000 tickets for the remainder of the tour, which was scrapped after Gaga revealed a hip injury which rendered her unable to walk and will require surgery.
That said, the "Bad Romance" singer already stacked a good amount of pennies. From Billboard:
Through Jan. 17, the “BTWB” tour had grossed $168.2 million and moved 1.6 million tickets to 85 shows, according to Billboard Boxscore, with Asia, Europe, and South American legs already completed in 2012. The North American leg, which was to wrap the tour and was almost completely sold out, would have likely put the tour at more than $200 million gross, easily in the top 20 tours of all time and probably in the top 15. As it stands, Gaga finished sixth among all touring artists in 2012, with a gross of $125 million and attendance of more than 1.1 million, according to Boxscore.
Artists cancel tours with some regularity, but it's rare to see a popstar of Gaga's caliber have to walk away from such a massive operation. The Civil Wars abruptly canceled their entire tour, offering "internal discord" as justification. But a stadium tour like Gaga's employs well over 100 crew members, not to mention the impact the development will have on both local support staff and top-level partners like Live Nation.
An expert tells MTV that Live Nation will probably suffer the most, as the event company pays huge upfront costs for development that it hopes to recoup over the course of the tour. Though rumors of soft ticket sales have plagued Gaga for some time now, it is not believed that such concerns figured into the decision to scrap the tour.
Despite canceling the tour, Gaga made good on a promise to visit terminally ill 5-year-old fan Kayleigh Gurbynski in Chicago. Photos from that visit are available in the gallery at the bottom of this post.
"After additional tests this morning to review the severity of the issue, it has been determined that Lady Gaga has a labral tear of the right hip," a statement on Gaga's official website read. "She will need surgery to repair the problem, followed by strict down time to recover. This unfortunately, will force her to cancel the tour, so she can heal."
