'Piranha 3D' Star Kelly Brook Suffers Miscarriage

'Piranha 3D' Star Kelly Brook Suffers Miscarriage

British actress Kelly Brook has suffered a miscarriage five months into her pregnancy, her rep has revealed. The Piranha 3D actress and model was expecting her first child, a baby girl, with beau Thom Evans.

"I can confirm that Kelly and Thom have very sadly lost their baby," her rep told The Sun. "They request that everyone please respects their privacy at this very painful time and there will be no further comment."

Brook became pregnant just five months after she began dating rugby player Evans, but the two were looking forward to becoming parents.

"We are delighted," she twittered about the baby news on March 16.

Their baby girl was due in August.

Johnny Depp Surprises 'Oprah' Crowd With 'On Stranger Tides' Tickets

'Pirates of the Caribbean' star stops by for Winfrey's final Harpo Hookup show.

With "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" out in less than a month, some lucky guests at "The Oprah Winfrey Show" were fortunate enough to hit those strange tides before anyone else.

Leading man Johnny Depp visited Oprah on Thursday (May 5) to promote his upcoming "Pirates" film. As part of her last Harpo Hookup show, Oprah brought Depp to the show to give one big Disney surprise: All the attendees at the taping received free passes to his new movie.

"This is the fourth one," he said with a laugh, "so I can keep going."

"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" teams Depp up with Penélope Cruz on the search for the Fountain of Youth. Captain Jack Sparrow is forced to unite with old enemies and clash with new foes in order to recapture the Black Pearl and bring back his beloved crew.

Joking about his schizophrenia in going back and forth between himself and the character of Jack Sparrow, Depp said he was looking forward to Oprah's audience being the first people to see his latest transformation.

Lady Gaga was also on Thursday's "Oprah," performing a new version of her Born This Way track "You and I."

"It boils down to story, script and filmmaker," Depp told The Hollywood Reporter about the new movies. "It's not something where I would say, 'Let's shoot it next month to get it out by Christmas 2012.' We should hold off for a bit. They should be special, just like they are special to me."

Depp has been sailing into a lot of new ports in recent days thanks to a whole lot of "On Stranger Tides" promotion. A new clip following Captain Jack on a daring escape hit Yahoo! on Monday, and MTV News delivered a brand-new still of our favorite pirate sailing the high seas earlier this week.

Check out everything we've got on "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides."

Taylor Swift "Mean" Video Creates Controversy

Taylor Swift "Mean" Video Creates Controversy

Taylor Swift fans will be happy to learn that there's a great-looking new video for "Mean," one of the catchiest songs from the country princess's all-around catchy album, Speak Now. But not everyone thinks the video sends the right message. Watch the "Mean" video below, then read on to find out what all the fuss is about.

 

Swift clearly intends for "Mean" to be an anti-bullying anthem -- but is she sending mixed messages? In a promotional video interview for Speak Now, Swift said that song is about dealing with people who try to ruin your day: "There's always gonna be someone who's just mean to you, and all you can control is how you handle it. And this song is about how I handle it."

But the video doesn't show Swift being bullied, other than stylized shots of her tied to a train track like a silent movie heroine. Instead, she's a kind of savior to the outsider kids, who are all shallow stereotypes: the gay teen with a fashion magazine being picked on in the locker room, the waitress saving her pennies for college, the little girl eating lunch alone in the bathroom. Swift herself doesn't seem at all vulnerable -- so her smirking to the camera about how successful she is, and how much of a loser her imaginary bully is, seems a bit like gloating.

The critical response has been mixed so far. Vulture jokes that Swift is so unsympathetic in the video that it "makes us temporarily pro-bully." And Entertainment Weekly asks, "Is she really equating a professional critic questioning her ability to sing at an awards show to getting bullied because you're different?"

Don't get us wrong -- we love Taylor Swift, and it's a great song. But given the recent trend for empowering-message videos -- Pink's "Raise Your Glass" and "F-in' Perfect" videos, Katy Perry's "Firework" video, the "It Gets Better" Project, this entire season of "Glee" -- Swift's entry doesn't offer us anything we haven't seen a hundred times before. Considering her enormous talent, it would be nice to see Taylor truly go out on a limb for something she believes in.

Why Is Reese Witherspoon Wearing a Cast?

Why Is Reese Witherspoon Wearing a Cast?

Reese Witherspoon is shuffling around town these days with a bum foot! The newlywed was spotted with a soft cast on her left foot, while leaving church with her family on Mother's Day.

So, what happened to the Water for Elephants actress?

Nothing major, says the rep for the 35-year-old. "She twisted her ankle and is in a walking cast temporarily. Nothing serious," the mouthpiece told People.com.

Despite the injury, Witherspoon was all smiles as she and hew hubby Jim Toth strolled in Santa Monica on Sunday. Reese has been working overtime to promote her new flick with Robert Pattinson, so maybe all that time in stilettos has taken its toll on her tootsies. But she did give her feet a rest by wearing cowboy boots for her wedding reception.

We hope she feels better soon!

Whitney Houston Checks Into Rehab

Whitney Houston is back in rehab, folks. TMZ reported that the 47-year-old entered rehab about 10 days ago, and did so voluntarily. We’ve got more details below. As we all know, this is not the first time the singer has sought help for substance abuse. In 2002, during an interview with Diane Sawyer, she admitted that she had used drugs in the past, but was able to overcome the problem by prayer alone. When Sawyer asked her about what the tabloids were saying about her, that she allegedly used crack, she infamously responded, “Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let’s get that straight, okay? I don’t do crack. I don’t do that. Crack is whack.” Check out the video below. She first entered rehab back in 2004. Prior to her seeking help, she had been regular tabloid fodder, with her stick thin appearance (she looked emaciated to me) and unpredictable behavior, leading everyone to believe she was allegedly abusing substances. Add to that her personal problems with her then husband Bobby Brown, who had allegedly hit her and was charged with misdemeanor battery. She got herself back on track and released a comeback album, [...]

'Thor' Storms Past 'Fast Five' At Box Office

Wedding-themed 'Jumping the Broom,' 'Something Borrowed' follow far behind.

The "god of thunder" stormed the box office over the weekend as comic book fans and other moviegoers rained $66 million upon theaters to see "Thor." The latest big-screen adaptation of a beloved Marvel Comics superhero, this one drawn from Norse mythology, kicked off the summer movie season as the #1 movie in America, according to studio estimates.

Alas, a pair of romantic comedies proved to be no match against Thor's power. "Jumping the Broom" opened at #3 with $13.7 million, while "Something Borrowed," based on Emily Giffin's best-selling novel, came in fourth place with $13.1 million. Co-starring rom-com veteran Kate Hudson, "Borrowed" was far behind the $21.1 million her "Bride Wars" took in when it opened in 2009, or the similar numbers generated by "Fool's Gold" the year before.

"Thor" launches a potential franchise for Disney-owned Marvel Studios and serves as yet another piece of the comic-book-like continuity tapestry leading to 2012's "The Avengers." That ambitious movie recently started shooting and will unite Thor with Marvel heroes like Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Captain America (Chris Evans), whose own movie arrives on July 22. "Thor" benefited greatly from the critic-approved charisma of newcomer Chris Hemsworth in the title role and the Shakespearean sensibilities of director Kenneth Branagh. Technology didn't hurt, either, as roughly 60 percent of the film's business came courtesy of 3-D.

The opening-weekend numbers for "Thor" weren't as impressive as the franchise launching "Spider Man," "Iron Man," "Hulk" or "X-Men," but certainly stronger than "Ghost Rider" and "Daredevil." The movie's $66 million debut is more than the total gross of any other film Branagh has directed and bodes well for Hemsworth's future. The Australian actor already has the "Red Dawn" remake in the can, as well as "Cabin in the Woods," which was co-written by "Avengers" director Joss Whedon.

"Fast Five" was #2 with $32.5 million (for a $139.8 million total), although it beat "Thor" overseas as it expanded into more territories. The movie still boasts the biggest opening of 2011 thus far, and its 62 percent second week drop-off isn't any different than the last one, "Fast and Furious," which reunited Vin Diesel and Paul Walker after two sequels spent apart.

The animated "Rio" was #5, with $8.2 million for a $114.9 million total. Meanwhile, the Jodie Foster-directed dark dramedy "The Beaver," starring Mel Gibson, opened with $104,000, which even in limited release at just 22 locations is a disappointingly low number for all involved.

Next weekend's new releases include post-apocalyptic vampire flick "Priest," the Judd Apatow-produced comedy "Bridesmaids," heavy-metal infused indie "Hesher" and "Everything Must Go," which stars Will Ferrell in a dramatic role as a relapsing alcoholic whose life is falling apart.

Check out everything we've got on "Thor."
