New Two And A Half Men Ad With Ashton Kutcher

I still have no idea how this is going to work!

We have finally been given a glimpse of what Ashton Kutcher's character is going to look like as Charlie Sheen's replacement on Two and A Half Men.

The first promo shots have been released, and as you can see Chuck Lorre isn't trying to differenciate between the two actors just yet. The creators of the show have literally swapped Ashton for Charlie in this pic of the three characters singing into a microphone in front of a red curtain.

The advert comes ahead of the highly anticipated new series, with Ashton in the lead role following Charlie's sacking, earlier this year. Although nobody knows what character he is set to play just yet.

Either way Ashton is happy. He recently said this is his biggest career move:

"I've never probably in my 13 years in show business received more phone calls and e-mails from people congratulating me on this job. You'd almost think I won the lottery or something, which I kind of did. I've got the best job in showbusiness, and I am ecstatic about that."

"I can't wait to get to work with this ridiculously talented 2.5 team and I believe we can fill the stage with laughter that will echo in viewers' homes. I can't replace Charlie Sheen, but I'm going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people!"

The No Strings Attached star will earn a whopping $1m per episode for the top-rated comedy. Which seems insane to me, since he's not that great of an actor!

The new series will air in September, so far rumours have been that Ashton's character will move into Charlie's Malibu home after he dies, others think he will play his long lost son. Any ideas?

Charlie Sheen To Front New Series Based On 'Anger Management'

This sounds perfect for him!

Charlie Sheen has agreed a deal to star in a new series, which is based on the 2003 comedy Anger Management.

The troubled actor revealed the news today, joking that the role is quite ironic:

"I chose Anger Management because, while it might be a big stretch for me to play a guy with serious anger management issues, I think it is a great concept"

Charlie is set for his big TV comeback, playing a self-help instructor played in the film by Jack Nicholson.  The show is being produced by Mad Men producer Lionsgate, but no executive producer has signed on for the series just yet.

Charlie said he is grateful to have some creative control again, after being fired from the highly succesful Two and A Half Men: "It also provides me with real ownership in the series, a certain amount of creative control ."

Is Fade Street Coming Back? Cici Cavanagh Reveals All!

Is there any love for Fade Street?

Everyone has been dying to know if Fade Street will be back on our screens anytime soon, and now one if it's stars, Cici Cavanagh is finally putting the rumours to rest.

The stunning DJ and model has revealed that Fade Street is "unlikely" to return,  but she has claimed that the four stars of the series incuding Danielle Robinson, Louise Johnston and Vogue Williams, are set to make a new show on a different TV station!

Cici told me that she and the rest of the nation really want to find out if a second season is going ahead: "We are genuinely dying to know. but right now it doesn't look likely."

Cici is quickly becoming Dublin's newest fashionista!

The funky blonde explained that despite massive ratings, RTE aren't willing to give the show another chance. That sounds insane right? Well Cici doesn't understand it either:

"At the end of the day it's not down to the people. It is the most watched show on RTE Player in history. They've even re-released it and put it back on the RTE Player for the summer. To think that RTE would put it back on because it is so popular, but not give us a second series is completely bizarre." 

"There's possibly people in RTE, who are in charge of commissioning the shows, who didn't like it. When it comes down to it that really is the issue."

But don't worry all you Fade Street addicts out there, Cici (20) says that all the girls are set to make a new show. Their production company, Straywave Media, which also produces the amazing Celebrity Salon, are fighting to keep the four young girls together.

Cici says the girls WILL be back, but with a new show!

The Palmerstown native says all four girls will be back on Irish television again, but not on RTE:

"There's a possibility that Fade Street itself will never come back but I definitely believe that all of us will be back doing something similar together. Maybe the concept of Fade Street won't come back but I'm nearly 100% sure that we'll all be involved in something similar that will come out in the future. It definitely wouldn't be with another production company. More so, it might be another TV station other than RTE."

But this new reality series may not be that similar to the previous series. The tiny-waisted model admitted that this time round she and the girls would like their show to focus on parts of their lives that weren't fully explored during Fade Street.

While RTE were more concerned with showing the ins and outs of their personal lives, Cici says they would like something different with their new show:

"I would want them to focus in on the parts of our lives that we actually wanted to show. All four of us are such busy, proactive people that when Fade Street was filming they were only focusing on one or two aspects of our lives."

Cici is currently Djing with The Beauty Spot

Meanwhile the blonde, who is currently on tour Djing with The Beauty Spot, claimed that she, Louise, Vogue and Dani would never agree to do a show similar to 'Geordie Shore'. The hit UK replica of MTV's 'Jersey Shore' is a massive success and shows young people getting drunk, having affairs and fighting in public.

When asked if maybe Fade Street viewers wanted to see that side to the girls, Cici said that will never happen:

"Maybe people were let down that we weren't as debolturous on the show, but none of us are prepared to behave in a certain way. If that came up we wouldn't do it, we don't want to make complete shows of ourselves."

Yes Made In Chelsea stars Spencer Matthews and Caggie Dunlop cozied up to each other while on a night out with co-stars CJ Chapman and of course, Hugo Taylor. Caggie, an aspiring singer looked gorgeous as usual! The blonde looked elegant in a short white dress paired with an ankle-length floral coat.

But towards the end of the night, she was stumbling around and flashing more than she intended to by striding along with her knickers on display, according to the Daily Mail.

But is there a romance between the two? Well believe it or not, Spencer is actually on the rebound again! After dumping girlfriend Funda on the E4 show, the broker tried his luck with long-term pal Caggie once again, but was turned down.


Since wrapping the show Spencer has apparently been dating Topshop heiress Chloe Green. The pair spent a loved up weekend together at the Monaco Grand Prix last month, but according to sources she dumped Spencer for his bi-sexual friend Ollie Locke!!

Turn down the heating folks, your sitting room is about to get seriously hot!

Sources on the set of EastEnders have revealed that the upcoming affair between Tanya and Maz will be the "hottest ever" seen in the soap.

The former lovers will be seen meeting for secret sex sessions all over Albert Square, including the car lot office, where Tanya's new husband Greg nearly catches them! A source said the two characters are set to heat up the screen over the coming weeks:

"Max and Tanya are one of the hottest couples in EastEnders' history.

Max pulls his trousers down as Tanya rips off her clothes - they're rampant."

The insider added that viewers will be shocked at the upcoming sex scenes:

"It is going to be the sexiest affair Walford has seen. They don't care where they do it, as long as they get to spend some time together."

Corrie Star Samia Smith Files For Divorce While Dating Co-Star

Happier times, Samia & Matt with baby Freya.

Coronation Street star Samia Smith has filed for divorce from her husband Matt Smith after 5 years of marriage.

The actress, who plays Maria Connor in the soap, split from the property developer in January after rumours spread that she was dating new co-star Will Thorp, who plays her on-screen boyfriend Chris Gray.

In court documents Samia has cited "unreasonable beahaviour" as the reason for divorce. Sounds a bit dodge to me, that normally means uncontrollable temper or being extremely over protective.

On-screen lovers fell for eachother.

Although it has never been stated that Samia left hubby Matt for Will, Matt himself is quoted as saying that the divorce is their fault:

"They have to live with what they've done. She's my wife. I love her and we've got a child. I'm just trying to get on with my life."

The former couple have a 19-month-old daughter together named Freya. Meanwhile Matt has been spotted with Hayley Goodhead, the model who won Coleen Rooney's competition show 'Real Women'.

Kim Kardashian Says She "Loves" Cheryl Cole

Well this should give the Geordie a bit of a lift.

Despite being dropped by the US X Factor for having an accent that is "too thick" and a "lack of chemistry" with Paula Abdul, reality star Kim Kardashian has said she's said the singer won't be on the judging panel.

The E! star is one of the most succesful socialites in the US and knows everything there is to know about reality TV shows. She told fans on Twitter today that she wishes Cheryl could have stayed:

"I love Cheryl Cole! Kinda devastated she won't be on X-Factor anymore!"

Do you think that will cheer up poor Cheryl?

Corrie's Rosie Webster Now A Real Life WAG?

Actress Helen Flanagan who plays bimbo Rosie Webster in Coronation Street has shown off a brand new look and a brand new motor!

The 20-year-old is currently on a three month break from the hit show to focus on her "personal life". No doubt she will be spending most of her time with footballer Scott Sinclair. The striker was previously living in Manchester, where the set of Corrie is, but is now living in Swansea. It looks the new long-distance relationship has caused Helen to need a break from the soap.

Since leaving the show Helen has completely transformed her look! With a poroxide blonde pixie cut and biker clothes the star is starting to look like a real WAG. She was also spotted with a £70,000 Range Rover! No doubt a gift from Scott.

What do you think of her new look?

Will Ferrell's Debut On 'The Office'

Wow, this looks awesome!

With rumours that Will Ferrell will be the actor replacing Steve Carrel as the ultimate boss Michael Scott in the US Office, here's a sneak peak of Will's guest slot on the show:

January Jones Says 'Mad Men' Doesn't Pay That Well!

Uh oh, I think she's going to regret saying this!

January Jones, who plays Betty Draper on the hit show 'Mad Men' has said that she doesn't get paid that much and either do the other cast members! The show has been under large constraints this year, as producers weren't sure if the show would get the green light again. January said in an interview that the show doesn't pay that well:

"Financially, we don’t get paid very much on the show and that’s well-documented. On the other hand, when you do television you have a steady paycheck each week, so that’s nice."

Well documented? I've never heard those rumours before. I wonder is she just getting paid less and the rest are doing quite well? Although I absolutely love the show (my favourite in fact) I can't help but think January isn't the best actress. After seeing her in Liam Neelson's flick Unknown I got the impression that she can't really diversify her characters.

Audrina Patridge Says Her New Show Is Better Than The Kardashians!

Uh oh, I think she's going to seriously regret saying this!

Former 'Hills' star Audrina Patridge is about to come back on our reality TV screens, and no one really knows what to expect! The new series, which will air on VH1, follows the career Audrina and the life of her family. So what will it be like? Well Miss Audrina thinks it will be even BETTER than any of the Kardashian shows (and there's a lot!) She said:

"I’ve watched the Kardashians and I can tell you our family will blow theirs away! I don’t mean that as an insult, but what you see is what you get with us. We’re 100 percent real." 

Audrina being any percentage of real is a complete lie. She'll be regretting that statement very soon! And now every critic will compare her show to theirs... bad move!

Audrina Patridge Debuts The Cast Of 'Audrina'

They're coming...

Audrina Patridge is about to launch her Vh1 reality series 'Audrina' and here is the full cast!


The cast will include Audrina's mother Lynn who we know from her famous drunken rant about Lauren Conrad! Then we have her extremely tattooed sisters Casey and her other sister Samantha, as well as young brother Marky.

Audrina and sister Casey

I have the feeling that this is going to be a seriously cringe-worthy version of 'The Hills'. I would rather have seen LC's show about her fashion range.

Will you be watching 'Audrina'?

PS!!

You can get this dress from The Ivory Closet Limerick :).

The Girls From Sweet Valley High Are Back!

I'm so excited!

'Sweet Valley High' author Francine Pascal is releasing a new book series about Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefiel, and it's based 10 years later ofter High School!

The new book called 'Sweet Valley Confidential' has been released and Francine says she hopes these new books will make fans of the original series, happy:

"This is the first time in history that a kids' book has made the leap into adulthood. And it's a very difficult thing because the people who used to read the books are people of importance, they're grown adults, and they have a certain ownership of 'Sweet Valley' because it was their adolescence. With the new book I hoped not to outrage them and I don't think I have. But I think I have surprised them in a lot of ways and I hope I have touched them."

Remember this?
