Bea Arthur died in April, but even after her death she is doing good.  The Golden Girl‘s estate just granted $300,000 to the Ali Forney Center in New York City.  The Center runs “emergency and transitional housing as well as health and family programs for at risk LGBT teens and young adults.”

Bea’s gift will be used to purchase a building that will house 12 additional youth.  It will be named in her honor.

What a generous contribution!

Lady GaGa I mean, Bette Midler was channeling some serious Lady GaGa outside the Bette Midler’s New York Restoration Project Benefit Gala ‘Hulaween’ held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City on Friday night (October 30th).

Bette’s costume was for her role as  ’The Show Ghoul‘ and she does it so well!  I think Lady GaGa would be very proud!

What do you think?  Is this look freakish or are you loving it?  Sound off below.

They have been married since 1996 and things are still going strong between Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness. While at a gala that was honoring his lovely wife for her work with orphans, Hugh shared the best parenting advice he had ever been given.

“Make sure you have a date night just the two of you together, without the kids,” Hugh, 41, says during the Worldwide Orphans Foundation Benefit Gala held this week at NYC’s Capitale. “And don’t be afraid to tell your kids that you have no idea what you’re doing either.”

Jackman also shared that the family spends plenty of quality time together. Even when he has to work on Halloween.

“I’m going to be trick-or-treating, but I’ll actually be onstage performing [in A Steady Rain] on Saturday night,” he says. “I’ll help them get dressed. My daughter this morning decided she wanted to be a muffin. I said, ‘what flavor?’ and she said ‘chocolate chip.’”

Hugh and Deborra-Lee have two adopted children, Oscar, 9, and Ava, 4.

Jessica Simpson has had some of the worst luck in love.  She has gotten heat for her figure.  The critics tore her up for her time on the catwalk.  The poor girl even lost her little dog, Daisy to a wild coyote!  So, when will this sexy, talented artist catch a break?  Well, Jessica knows what kind of man she is looking for and well, her requirements might take a while to meet, but I think she is really starting to get things figured out.

“I definitely love a spiritual man — somebody that is going to always inspire me. I don’t want to get bored. I can bore out pretty easily, so I love intellectual men … people that will always keep me intrigued…. And, you know, I love artistic men — somebody that really understands their art.”

I think those are great traits to look for in a guy.  I also think that those kind of men are rare, so be patient, Jess!  Maybe you will find the man of your dreams while you travel the world for your new show!

Hailey Glassman gave an interview on The Insider, calling out her boyfriend Jon Gosselin for being emotionally abusive.  So in true Jon fashion, he hopped on board and is claiming to want to make things right, with everyone.

“I am committed to making things right with Hailey as well as Kate and especially my children. I ask you to please give me the opportunity to prove myself.”

Jon is even acknowledging the price Haliey has paid for him…the whole ‘guilty by association’ thing has hit her hard.

“[She] has paid a significant price to live under such a media microscope. I am grateful for her emotional support and I regret any pain that my actions have caused her as she has selflessly born the pressures I have endured under the media glare.”

I hope that Jon Gosselin is sincere.  I hope that he takes action right away in making things right.  Jon needs to prove himself to the kids and to Kate.  Hailey needs to move on or be patient.  She CAN’T be a priority right now.  Jon has much bigger messes to clean up first.

Director Ang Lee is adapting the book Life of Pi into a feature length film.

Speaking recently with Digital Spy, Lee mentioned that he’s recently turned in his first draft of the script, and that we can probably expect it in two years. He hasn’t thought about casting as of yet.

The story follows a young Indian boy who ends up stranded on a boat for 227 days with a hyena, zebra, orangutan, and a Bengal tiger. Something tells me they’re going to work extra hard to find the perfect child actor for this role, since he’s going to be the only human for most of its run time. The project has caught the attention of many directors, including M. Night Shyamlan, Alfonso Cuaron, and Jean-Pierre Jeunet since the novel by Yann Martel was released in 2001.

Sounds like a hard book to turn into a movie, but Ang Lee has a great sense of characters on screen. I have a lot of faith in him as a visual storyteller. He really digs into the hearts of the characters. This should be a good one.

Charlize Theron has reportedly been officially cast in the upcoming film sequel Mad Max 4: Fury Road.

Charlize Theron has just signed on to join the cast of Mad Max: Fury Road. The film is the 4th installment in the series and will start shooting in Australia next August.

This is a film franchise that has been dark for over 20 years, so there’s a lot anticipation and excitement to bring it back. As you may recall, the person responsible for making Mad Max popular is Mel Gibson began hiscareer with Mad Max in 1979, shot in Victoria and portraying a broken-down future society.

She’s awesome, I really hope this is true. She brings a lot to any role she plays, hopefully we’ll find out who’s playing the Road Warrior alongside whatever character she’s playing.

Here is the trailer for the upcoming film Invictus from director Clint Eastwood starring Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman.

This movie is probably going to be good and everything, but it just looks boring to me. Hopefully it’s very enthralling, I’ll watch it based on the fact that Eastwood directed it.
