Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Zipline in Mexico


Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Joe Francis
Kimye gone wild.
Kim Kardashian and boyfriend Kanye West joined Kim's buddy and Girls Gone Wild businessman Joe Francis for some ziplining while on vacation in Mexico recently. 
"Awesome vacation. Great pic with @KimKardashian @kanyewest ," Francis tweeted.
Joe hosted the vacay at a rental home and was joined by Kimye and other friends as they "participated in a thrilling zip lining tour through the Mexican jungle flying between trees, spanning rope bridges, and sharing memorable laughs," according to his website.
Maybe this will inspire Kim and Kanye to take another type of plunge?
The new season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on E!

X Factor Meets With Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts About Hosting Job


Ashley Roberts
If one Pussycat Doll doesn't work out, why not try another!
I just got word that Nicole Scherzinger's former bandmate Ashley Roberts is in the running to cohost the new season of X Factor.
Sources tell me that Roberts, 30, has already auditioned with producers. She's apparently going to meet Fox network executives sometime this week.
A rep for Fox declined to comment.
As X Factor fans know, Scherzinger andPaula Abdul have been replaced at the judges' table for the second season by Demi Lovatoand Britney Spears.
Scherzinger was originally supposed to cohost the inaugural season but was asked to be a judge after Cheryl Cole was given the boot.
As E! News first told you, other hosting candidates (there will be one male and one female) have included George Clooney's girlfriend Stacy KeiblerKhloé Kardashian Odom, Kelly OsbourneMario Lopez, BET's 106 & Park star Terrence J, sportscaster Erin Andrews and radio personality Mike Catherwood.
Terrence J played it coy about the possible gig when we caught up with him the other day while he as promoting his upcoming new flick, Sparkle.
"Right now, I don't want to think of the next thing," said Terrence, 30, who announced in May he was leaving BET after seven years.
"My first process before I make any decision or even think about anything is to take some time with my family who I've neglected a little bit too much and getting away," he said.
Where's he going? Europe. "I'm going to take the month of August off and get away from it all," Terrence said. "And then I'll come back and figure out what's next."
With X Factor's new season kicking off Sept. 12, Terrence would be back in the U.S. just in time to join the show.

The Words Trailer: Watch Recent Exes Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana Act in Love


Even though Bradley Cooper plays a huge supporter of plagarism as Rory Jensen in The Words, it's hard to steer focus away from his chemistry with costar and wife in the flick, Zoe Saldana while watching the film's latest trailer.
You know, because they got all romantic and stuff offscreen (even if they tried to hide it, kinda like—ahem—Robsten).
While also remembering the couple that wasn't, then was and then was no more, viewers got a glimpse of what to expect with The Words.
The trailer alone can be somewhat confusing, so here's the backstory to help you out: Jensen (Cooper) is a writer who doesn't hit the peak of his career until he comes across someone else's manuscript that he passes off as his own.
But we all know cheating and stealing comes at a price—watch the clip.

Bar Refaeli & Snowboarder Shaun White Cheer on Michael Phelps Together


Odd couple or just...couple?
Shaun White and Bar Refaeli were together at the London Aquatics Center today to cheer onMichael Phelps in his quest for his record-breaking 19th Olympic medal, further fueling the rumor that the snowboarding stud and the Israeli model are indeed an item.
Being a winning Olympian himself, White and his, er, seatmate were warmly welcomed by Phelps' family, including his ever-present mom Debbie.
Not that just going to an Olympic event with someone means you're a couple. Just yesterday, White was watching beach volleyball with John McEnroe—and it was definitely a boys' night out, as White remembered to use "#bikinis" when he tweeted about the event.
But White and his far more photogenic companion (no offense, Johnny Mac) sure looked cozy as they celebrated Team USA's 4x200-meter freestyle relay win, Phelps' first gold of the London Olympics.

Selena Gomez Shows Off New Bangs—Do You Like?


Selena Gomez is sporting a new look.
The actress and singer posted a photo on her Facebook page showing off her latest haircut, which includes some bangs, or fringe, as the English would say.
Gomez wrote, "new hair for a new movie :) I love changing my hair!"
This isn't the first time we've seen the 20-year-old with this 'do, but the first time was just a test run.
Back in October, Selena wigged out and tested a headpiece that included bangs. "My whole head of hair is fake lol," Justin Bieber's girlfriend wrote.
It must have made a lasting impression because Gomez was down to make it permanent. 
What do you think of her new look? Let us 

Vince Vaughn Rebooting The Brady Bunch on CBS


Brady Bunch, Vince Vaughn
Here's the story, of a name named Vaughn, who decided to reboot a classic TV show!
The Watch and Wedding Crashers star Vince Vaughn is developing a new version of the classic sitcom The Brady Bunch for CBS, a source confirms to E! News.
Vaughn developed the multi-camera project centering on one of America's most famous TV families with Raising Hope's Mike Mariano, who wrote the pilot script.
While it remains to be seen if any of the stars of the original series, like Florence Hendersonand Maureen McCormick, will come onto the project, Lloyd Schwartz, the son of Sherwood Schwartz, the creator of the original sitcom, will serve as an executive producer.
Like the original series, the new Brady Bunch will center on Bobby Brady, a man with children of his own, remarrying a woman who also has children from a previous marriage. However, viewers will see some changes: the couple will share a child of their own and their ex-spouses will still be in their lives.
This wouldn't be CBS' first reboot of a classic TV show: the network revitalized the Hawaii Five-0 franchise with Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan and CBS TV Studios produces the CW's 90210, a reboot of Beverly Hills 90210.
CBS would not comment on the development of The Brady Bunch.
Deadline first reported the news of the network giving the reboot a script order.
So what do you think, good idea? The best idea? Sound off in the comments.

Gotye Talks Sex Change and "Somebody That I Used to Know" Parodies


We already know Gotye isn't dead.
He quickly squashed a death rumor soon after it hit Twitter earlier this month.
But is the "Somebody That I Used to Know" singer becoming…a woman?!
"Apparently there's been a sex change hoax as well," Gotye told me the other day when I caught up with him in New York City.
But he doesn't mind if you think he's becoming some man that you used to know.
Oh?
Asked if he wanted to set the story straight during this interview, the 32-year-old Belgian-Australian (real name: Wouter "Wally" De Backer) laughed, "Do I have to? Maybe it's fun keeping it open."
Fun is also the gazillion or so video parodies of "Somebody That I Used to Know."
"There are a bunch that I've seen that I've enjoyed," Gotye admits. "I've certainly had a good laugh at some of them. It's incredible to see how they kind of mutate and develop."
Like "The Star Wars That I Used to Know," which has received more than 4.2 million hits since it posted on YouTube a month ago.
"The guy who plays George Lucas as a particularly good shoulder roll," Gotye said.
Gotye's real video for the song has been viewed almost—ready for this?—291.4 million times. It's also up for Video of the Year at MTV's upcoming Video Music Awards.
With success like this, it's no wonder he's kicking off a new world tour, Making Mirrors, in just a couple of weeks.
"I'm probably going to be taking three empty LP cases that can hold 80 records each," Gotye said. "My, my drummer and my sample keyboard players are all avid record collectors. On the last tour, we found we had no way to keep storing them so they ended up all over the place."
They also have a turntable—set up in either the bathroom or bedroom. "We've always got vinyl playing," Gotye said.
Sounds like fun to us.
