Four months after being convicted of aggravated manslaughter of a child, Amanda Brumfield, estranged daughter of Billy Bob Thornton has been sentenced to 20 years behind bars.
Having previously been acquitted of first-degree murder, authorities say the 32-year-old killed her best friend's one-year-old daughter during an overnight stay in October 2008.
Brumfield claimed that the child, Olivia Madison Garcia, became injured after falling from the playpen she was trying to climb out of.
Prosecutors dismissed the story, stating that it was "impossible" for the girl to incur a three-and-a-half inch fracture as well as bleeding and swelling in her brain from a fall of that height.
Taking her turn to promote her upcoming movie "Martha Marcy May Marlene," Elizabeth Olsen attended a press conference at the 49th New York Film Festival on Wednesday (October 5).
Showing off her simple yet chic style, the 22-year-old actress donned a classic white collared dress shirt, high-waisted pencil skirt and black and white print pumps for the promotional event.
During her interview for the November 2011 edition of Elle magazine, Elizabeth opened up about her initial interest in acting, telling, "Watching old Frank Sinatra musicals when I was, like, 6. I wanted to be one of the love interests when I got older.”
As for her decision to take a year off from school to focus on her film career, Miss Olsen told, "They’re all indies, so the shoots were relatively short—it was great because every single film was a genre, and the directors were so completely different. It helped me figure out what worked for me and how I would adapt. It was difficult at times— like a great year of conservatory training. It was that intense.”
They've enjoyed their fair share of romance rumors in the past, and now Internet speculation is once again swirling over the depth of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' relationship.
According to the Boston Herald gossip column The Inside Track, the newly-single "Gossip Girl" star has made her way to Beantown via a four hour train ride from NYC to visit her "Green Lantern" co-star - having even been spotted at Ryan's Boyleston St. pad days before her rep confirmed her split from Leonardo DiCaprio.
Making for a fun-filled stay, a New York Daily News source revealed that the pair had "doggie dates" with Lively's Maltipoo, Penny and Reynolds' 2-year-old mutt, Baxter.
Looking to dispel any misconceptions about her trip, Blake's spokeswoman told press she "was in Boston with her girlfriend" and resided in a "hotel."
It’s an exciting time in her life, and today (October 6) Beyoncé Knowles released her new music video for her single “Countdown.”
The “Crazy in Love” songstress shows off her growing preggers midsection as she dons a short black wig and dances around the set.
Beyonce also uses her arms to imitate a “countdown” clock while standing in front of a retro-looking black and white wall.
As for her pregnancy, Knowles told press, "It is the most powerful creation for you to be able to have a life growing inside of you. There is no bigger gift, nothing more empowering."
