Matt Bomer, Ian Somerhalder, and Henry Cavill continue to reign supreme in "Fifty Shades of Grey" casting polls in regards to the coveted role of Christian Grey. But now another Hollywood heartthrob has entered the race... 31-year-old Canadian actor and star of the hit action/adventure CW series "Arrow," Stephen Amell. The handsome rising star is in no way considered a "big name" in Hollywood (yet), but isn't that exactly what E.L. James and "Fifty Shades" producers are looking for? And Amell has already made it clear that there's no way he'd turn down the erotic role of Grey (the big bucks would definitely help in buying a new home). For those of you still unfamiliar with the man who stars as the vigilante Green Arrow (Oliver Queen), take a look! Read More »
Reports confirm that the infamous business mogul Donald Trump has won a $5 million defamation settlement against former Miss U.S.A. 2012 contestant from Pennsylvania, Sheena Monnin. Back in June, the brunette bombshell publicly resigned from the annual beauty pageant insisting that the entire competition was rigged. Monnin went on a social media rant days following the event, insisting that the Miss Universe Organization was "fraudulent, lacking in morals, inconsistent, and in many ways trashy." Monnin went so far as to allege that a fellow Miss USA contestant had actually seen a list containing the top 5 contestants before they were officially announced at the 2012 event. Trump (the owner of the pageant) heatedly denied such claims, and the Miss Universe Organization promptly filed an arbitration action for defamation which sought "significant damages" from Monnin for her shady remarks. Earlier this week a New York district court judge sided with Trump, ruling that "the method in which the Miss USA Pageant is judged... precludes any reasonable possibility that the judging was rigged." Monnin must now pay up $5 million to the "Apprentice" star. Read More »
Pop starlet Rihanna is celebrating the holidays early this year - not only did the "Diamonds" songstress recently dish out $12 million for an extravagant mansion in L.A., but she also showed off pics of her new flashy Porsche 911 Turbo S. While RiRi basks in her "Rock Star of the Year" lifestyle, rumors have it that her relationship with R&B crooner Chris Brown may officially be over (for good). Given all of the drama involving Brown's ex Karrueche Tran (and rumors that the duo are still actually together) it looks like the Barbadian beauty may be ready to finally move on... she recently tweeted an empty picture of her bed. So what do Mstarz readers think - is the lonely bed photo a sign that RiRi and Brown are officially done, or is Rihanna just having some Twitpic fun by messing around with her fans? Read More »
Pop-country songstress Taylor Swift was recently spotted at a popular L.A. tattoo parlor with new One Direction boy toy Harry Styles.

Reports confirm that at least 17 inmates and guards are dead after an attempted prison break in Durango, Mexico late Tuesday evening (Dec. 18). Reuters reports that several inmates of the Cesero No 2 facility in Gomez Palacio allegedly managed to smuggle weapons inside the building and began manically shooting at the guard towers while attempting to climb over the prison's back walls. On-duty guards then managed to "thwart the inmates'" attempted prison break by responding with their own gunfire, resulting in the death of 11 prisoners and six guardsmen. The influence of Mexican drug cartels may have been involved in the uprising. Read More »

Pop-country songstress Taylor Swift and One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles have only been dating for a few weeks, and already the pregnancy rumors are swirling (thanks to a bogus report on the popular satire website World Wide News). So no, the 23-year-old "Red" starlet is not preggo with Styles' baby, but Haylor is turning out to be one blossoming young-love romance! According to recent reports, Swift has even been searching around local Liverpool record shops to collect some vintage Beatles memorabilia for Styles' Christmas gift and upcoming 19th birthday (a collection that could be worth a whopping $80,000!). Fair enough, considering Styles dished out some lavish, romantic gifts for Swift on her 23rd birthday (Dec. 13)... but not quite $80,000 worth! Read More »

Kim Kardashian has officially unveiled the annual Kardashian-Jenner holiday card for 2012, and it looks like the infamous reality fam is definitely prepared for one awesome "White Christmas" extravaganza! 12 members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan appear in the over-the-top holiday photo this year, decked out in all-white and surrounded by pearly balloons and silver confetti.

An inside source insists that West's personal life is beginning to overpower his music... but do fans think that's necessarily a bad thing? Read More »
On a recent episode of Bravo's hit reality show the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," Adrienne Maloof and Brandi Glanville got into a rather heated spat at a casual real estate event hosted by Kyle Richards' hubby Mauricio Umansky. Although Bravo wouldn't release any details on what the fight was actually about, rumors have it that Glanville was telling people that Maloof used a surrogate to have her three children (something which Maloof and ex-husband Paul Nassif deny). Apparently Maloof is angry and offended that Glanville would spread such shady comments concerning her three young children Gavin, Colin, and Christian. In a recent interview with People magazine, Maloof insists that Glanville (an attention whore) has definitely crossed the line by spreading rumors involving her innocent kids. Read More »
