Kendall Jenner: I Want To Be the Next Gisele!

Give Kendall Jenner credit for aiming high.
And then try not to laugh at her for aiming way, way, way too high.

At a party in Los Angeles this week celebrating her and sister Kyle's Seventeen Magazine cover (seriously, must this family throw a party for every conceivable occasion?!?), the 16-year old shared with E! News her career ambitions.
"I want to be the next Gisele Bündchen," Jenner said. "Everything she does, who she is, what she's done, she's just amazing."
We can't argue with that. Have you scrolled through our gallery of Gisele photos?
But will Kendall achieve the sort of success that this super, duper model has enjoyed? We somehow doubt it. Gisele didn't rely on a sibling filming herself having sex in order to get a head start.

Megan Rossee: Michael Phelps' Girlfriend!

Michael Phelps' girlfriend Megan Rossee gives him even more reasons to smile than 22 Olympic medals. Well, close to it anyway, if they're actually dating.
Following his record-setting run at the 2012 London Summer Olympic Games, Michael Phelps was spotted out celebrating with a “mystery blonde.”
Thanks to Hollyscoop, we know that lady's name, and what she looks like!
Here's Phelps with Megan Rossee, a 25-year-old model and L.A. resident:

"She and Phelps began dating in January (of this year) and things started to heat up just prior to the Olympics in London," says the source.
Hilariously, Megan was in a love triangle with Phelps and Lauren Conrad's ex!
"At the time when they began dating, [The Hills'] Doug Reinhardt was crushing on her too, but she chose to be with Michael instead."
According to the celebrity gossip site, Phelps was smitten from the start:
"Michael knew that he had to leave for the Olympics and not wanting to give up on their relationship, he flew Megan out to the trials in Omaha, then to London for The Games."
A candid photo of Michael Phelps, girlfriend and medals in hand, shows him celebrating in London and beaming for the camera. Aww.
“Yay Michael” Megan’s caption reads.
Indeed. Currently, Megan and Michael are in London and will be doing some more private celebrating once the games conclude next week:
"They'll remain in London for three weeks after the Olympics wrap up this weekend to check out the sights and do some traveling together."
Like the swimming legend, Rossee is athletic. She used to be an avid soccer player; she’s now an aspiring model and works at Hollywood's Blok nightclub.
Her Model Mayhem profile lists her at 5'9" with blue-green eyes; a go-getter with an All-American girl flavor ... whatever that means.
According to the Hollyscoop source, Ryan Lochte's chief rival has been urging her for some time to quit her job as a cocktail waitress.
"He wants her to travel the world with him but she hasn't made her decision yet to quit. She's heavily considering it," the source says.
From the looks of the photo above, she might be leaning towards "yes."
Nice looking couple. You know, if they're really a couple. Phelps is falsely linked to around 10 women per week, so it's hard to be sure.

No regrets for India’s first ‘playmate’

Sherlyn Chopra, India’s first “Playmate”, has been criticized by many people for her decision to pose nude for Playboy. 
The first Indian woman to pose naked for Playboy magazine says she is proud to have “pushed the envelope” in a country where public nudity in any form remains largely taboo.

Minor Bollywood actress Sherlyn Chopra, 28, will feature in a nude spread in the November issue of the magazine, although her Indian fans will be hard pushed to get hold of a copy.

Playboy, along with a host of other foreign “adult” magazines, is banned in India, which has strict obscenity laws proscribing any public act or published material deemed to be “lascivious or appealing to prurient interests.”
News that Chopra had become India’s first “Playmate” caused quite a stir, fuelled by Chopra herself posting nude out-take pictures from the Playboy shoot on the microblogging site Twitter.

As well as some inevitably lascivious and prurient responses, many Indian Twitter users criticized her decision and accused her of a desperate publicity stunt to further her acting career. She had written to Playboy herself expressing an interest in posing.

“If you consider being the 1st Indian woman to pose for Playboy an ‘achievement,’ you should consider raising your standards,” tweeted @Sunu_K.

In an e-mail interview with AFP, Chopra dismissed her critics and said she considered herself a pioneer for sexual freedom in India.

“I had no apprehensions and have no regrets: just feelings of pure liberation and sheer excitement,” she said of the Playboy shoot in Los Angeles.

“I’m proud to have pushed the envelope and I will not hesitate to lead my life on my terms consistently.”

Chopra’s Bollywood career to date has been decidedly B-list, with bit roles in less than a dozen movies, including the 2003 box-office dud “Dosti” (Friendship) and a film titled “Naughty Boy.”

Her labelling as a “Bollywood legend” on the Playboy website was widely mocked in India, and Chopra admitted it was a “surreal” tag.

“I know that I’m just a girl with big dreams,” she said.

Indian writers, actors and artists who have sought to push the boundaries of traditional Indian morals have sometimes found themselves targeted by conservative religious groups, but Chopra appeared unworried at the prospect of a backlash.

“The moral guardians have never done any real good to me or the society at large,” she said.

“So let them do whatever they are good at while I do what I truly enjoy.”

The publicity generated by Chopra’s shoot has been overshadowed in recent days by the release of what has been billed as one of India's raunchiest mainstream movies, “Jism 2” (Body 2).

Real-life adult film star Sunny Leone -- born in India to Canadian parents -- plays a porn actress in the movie, which has stirred controversy with its provocative publicity material and content.

The mayor of Mumbai, Sunil Prabhu, ordered the removal of promotional posters for the film from public buses in India’s entertainment capital after a local legislator complained the image used was obscene.

The Dark Knight Rises Wins Again, Total Recall Bombs at Box Office

Movie goers this weekend proved they are not sick of The Dark Knight Rises. But they may be sick of remakes.
The final installment of Christopher Nolan's trilogy earned $36.4 million, enough to place it atop the box office for the third consecutive week. It has now garnered $354.6 million domestically in 17 days.
Go Batman!
In other movie news, Sony's remake of Total Recall - with Colin Farrell in the role Arnold Schwarzenegger made famous - did not make the major dent many expected.
It finished in second place with $26 million, which (adjusted for inflation) is nearly $20 million less than the original on its opening weekend.
Take a look at the top five below:
  1. The Dark Knight Rises: $36.4 million
  2. Total Recall: $26.0 million
  3. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days: $14.7 million
  4. Ice Age: Continental Drift: $8.4 million
  5. The Watch: $6.4 million

The swimmer celebrated the end of an impressive London games - five medals, two of them gold - and his 28th birthday with night out at Chinawhite nightclub.
Lochte partied until nearly 3:30 a.m. before piling into a taxi with friends and various female acquaintances for the ride back to the Olympic Village.
Clearly, it's good to be an Olympic champion ...

That's what we call an impressive medley, or something.
No word if Lochte, whose mother recently said that he does not have time for girlfriends and has "one night stands" instead, had one or more on this night.
In any case, be sure to browse our gallery of Olympic photos for more shots of the hunk ... our favorite being this shot of Ryan Lochte and Missy Franklin.

Lindsay Lohan Confirmed For Scary Movie 5; Charlie Sheen Next?

Lindsay Lohan will star in Scary Movie 5, sources confirmed over the weekend.
The comeback kid continues her recent winning streak - Lifetime's Liz & Dick stars Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor and The Canyons features Lindsay and porn star James Deen - as E! News reports shes "definitely" doing the film.
What's more, Charlie Sheen may appear along side her. Seriously.

Despite him being uncomfortably killed off in Scary Movie 4, Sheen is said to be in talks to return for the franchise's fifth installment, due out in 2013.
It's being touted as a complete reboot of the franchise, so it's easy to invent ways to bring Charlie back ... hopefully in scenes with Lindsay.
It would be a watershed moment for celebrity gossip if these two train wrecks / tabloid staples had some sort of fight scene to the death.
Anna Faris, meanwhile, will not appear in Scary Movie 5.

Sharon Osbourne Quits America's Got Talent, Alleges Discrimination Against NBC

NBC brought Howard Stern on board America's Got Talent this summer.
But who would have guessed it would be fellow judge Sharon Osbourne who would cause the most controversy for the show and the network?
In an exclusive interview with The New York Post, the panelist says she is leaving the series after this season due to the way NBC mishandled her son Jack, his participation on the show Stars Earn Stripes and his recent multiple sclerosis diagnosis.

Osbourne alleges that Jack had a deal in place to appear on the the aforementioned program - which pits celebrities against one another in military training exercises - only for producers to fire him two days prior to filming, not long after he went public with his disease.
"It’s discrimination, and it was badly handled," Osbourne tells the newspaper.
Producer David Hurwitz says Jack was never officially hired for Stars Earn Stripes, though Chuck LaBella, NBC's vice president of talent relations, sent him an email on May 18 that reads "we are looking forward to working with you."
Within a few weeks, the MS diagnosis was known and Hurwitz sent a message that said "the rigors of the show [would be] too intense" for Jack and the network could no longer move forward with his participation.
As a result of the dispute, Sharon Osbourne says it's "time to move on" from America's Got Talent. In response, a network spokesperson has issued the following statement:
“Sharon has been a valuable part of the NBC family. We regret any misunderstanding and wish Jack well."
Somewhere, Conan O'Brien and Ann Curry simply can't believe NBC mishandled the situation.
