Report: "Breaking Dawn" Birth Scene Spurs Seizures


It's known for causing mass hysteria among its fans, however several reports are faulting "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" for causing a different reaction from audience members this time around - seizures.

According to reports, Brandon Gephart, a man from California, had to be rushed to the emergency room after falling ill while watching Bella's much talked about birth scene.

While viewing the ultra-gory blood-filled sequence - which features sudden bursts on light - Brandon began "convulsing, snorting, trying to breathe."

"I didn’t really remember what happened after that I think I blacked out. According to her [his girlfriend, Kelly Bauman], I was shaking and mumbling different noises," Gephart told ABC News.

Looking as if the problem could go wide-spread, another Twi-hard, who has asked to remain unnamed, told press he also experienced similar issues when watching the clip. The film's production company, Summit Entertainment, has yet to comment on the incidents.

Rihanna Holds Loud Tour Thanksgiving Dinner in Dublin


Stepping out for a memorable meal while away from home on the holiday, Rihanna held a special Thanksgiving dinner in Dublin, Ireland on Thursday night (November 24).

The glammed up Barbadian singer took to the Merrion Row locale to dote turkey and all the fixings to her band and crew members as they continue to support her during her ambitious overseas Loud tour.

Tweeting a message to all of her followers, as well, RiRi wrote, "HAPPY THANKSGIVING! #imthankfulfor the blessing of life, it means u have a 2nd chance! And all the people n my life, Friends Fam Fans Foes”

The outing comes just days after Rihanna released a new studio album titled "Talk That Talk" - with the record receiving the highest of praise from numerous publications.

Rolling stone's reviewer wrote, "Rihanna's sixth album is her tightest, most assured yet — a relentlessly catchy and danceable pop album, with first-rate contributions from top songwriter-producers."

Meanwhile, a staff member from The Times opined, "The best songs on this lively and often great album sound synth-perfect for that time [the early 1990s]. 'We Found Love' almost criminally recalls the swinging Crystal Waters singles, with triumphant percussion somewhere between church and seventh-inning stretch. 'Where Have You Been' is even better, with hard, chilly synths, snares from the poppier side of house music, and Rihanna moving in and out of a curled Siouxsie Sioux tone."

Sienna Miller Testifies at Leveson Inquiry


Ready to be heard in regards to the highly-publicized phone hacking scandal in the UK, Sienna Miller was among those at The Royal Courts of Justice in London on Thursday (November 24).

In her statements, Miss Miller said, “It was impossible to lead any kind of normal life," adding that she felt "violated, and paranoid and anxious constantly.”

Of the aggressive tactics by paparazzi hired by tabloids such as the now-defunct News Of the World, Sienna said, “I would often find myself – I was 21 – at midnight running down a dark street on my own with 10 big men chasing me. And the fact that they had cameras in their hand meant that that was legal, but if you take away the cameras, what have you got?”

And then on this one, Sofia Vergara walks in the room, too, and life gets really wonderful. Oh my God, doing those scenes, that's not acting, that's like phone sex."

Justin Timberlake & Jimmy Fallon: GQ Showmen of the Year


They have an uncanny chemistry together so it’s no wonder Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon were named as GQ magazine’s Showmen of the Year.

The “Like I Love You” singer and the “Saturday Night Live” alum talked with the men’s magazine about their experiences in the world of entertainment.

Fallon explained, “There’s something so fun about taking that risk and doing live stuff. I think we both have that in our DNA. So we’re like, ‘Is this going to be good? I don’t know. But we’re about to go live in ten seconds.’”

Justin added, “I’ll probably get crucified for saying this, but the impetus behind a lot of comedy is: I’ve been rejected so many times and I’m bitter and now I’m going to talk about it. It’s almost as if The Social Network was a comedy. For me, being earnest and genuine is way easier than acting like you just don’t care, like you don’t want to be here, like this is a drag. There are just so many things in the world that are a drag. For me it’s like, ‘This is a f***ing wicked cool job!’”

As for what they admire about each other, Jimmy said, “Justin’s got style. I always think, ‘I could never pull that off, but Justin Timberlake can pull that off.’ Also, he works hard.”

“It’s not often that you meet people that are as genuinely nice as Jimmy, but he also has this unabashed joy. He’s so earnestly curious about what could be funny and what could be exciting,” said Justin.

The outing comes amidst a new report claiming that LiLo recently spoke about how she thinks she still has an Oscar-worthy performance in her if given the chance.

A source told the tabloids, “Lindsay is clearly living on a different planet. Her life is in tatters and no one in Hollywood will even take her calls. But she still sees herself as a player, and she’s telling friends that her career is going better than ever. She’s even talking about finding a role that will make her dream of winning an Oscar come true!”

Up extra early to catch a flight home, Kim Kardashian arrived for her flight out of Atlanta, Georgia before sunrise this morning (November 12).

Having just wrapped up filming for Tyler Perry's upcoming flick "The Wedding Counselor" the night before, the E! reality star and pal Vanessa Williams boarded a plane en route to Los Angeles.

Miley's midday meal comes as her actor boyfriend Liam Hemsworth recently talked to Australia's Who magazine about getting turned on when his lady gets a little grub on her face while eating.

"There is this place in Nashville called Steak and Shake, which is pretty much the best food, ever. That is our secret, sexy place to go," Liam dished.

"When I look over at her when she's biting into a steak sandwich and there is some steak sauce dripping down her chin, there is nothing sexier than that," he added.

Then asked what his lady finds sexy in him, Hemsworth confessed, "I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm kind of a goof."

Speaking about the experience of participating in the USO tours, Miss Kournikova dished, "You can read about it or watch it on TV, but once you're actually down there in Iraq and Afghanistan and seeing what's going on, it's just an incredible experience. I spend a lot of time talking to the kids, and I hope they get some kind of excitement watching us show our appreciation for what they do."

Meanwhile, Miss Munn was asked whether military food is as bad as rumors make it sound to be, to which she said, "It's not! Well, at least I didn't think so. But I was raised on that kind of stuff. I actually prefer most of my vegetables in a can. I didn't even know asparagus was supposed to be served with a crunch."

Last, but not least, WWE star Kelly Kelly spoke about her latest trip to Afghanistan, revealing, "It was actually a little scary. One night I was in the bathroom, and suddenly these alarms started going off with this announcement to stay in our bunks. Turns out we almost got hit by a rocket."

Candice Swanepoel: Backstage at the VS Fashion Show


Prepping for her time on the runway, Candice Swanepoel was spotted backstage at the 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York City this morning (November 9).

Stunning in just about anything, the statuesque blonde bombshell managed to turn heads in a simple pink silk robe as her stylists tended to her with hair and makeup.

While it's no doubt Candice and her fellow Angel Erin Heatherton top the list of most desired among males, the leggy duo, who both happen to be in long-term relationships, say it's difficult to deal with guys due to their line of work.

“I think it’s harder to date as an angel, when people meet you it’s hard to look past our job, what we look like. They are always trying to impress you, you know, like ‘come to my mansion blah blah blah,'" Miss Swanepoel explained.

While Candice went on to admit she once had "a little Bieber fever," Heather dished that her perfect date would involve taking "a bath and then I would play with my dog and probably go out and meet my friends for dinner somewhere.”
