Michelle Obama going to Atlantic city to watch Beyonce concert

  Michelle Obama jetted in to Atl antic City last night to join 5,500 fans at a Beyonce concert. The first lady was with daughters Sasha and Malia - but without her husband - at Revel Resorts, where Beyonce performed two dozen songs Saturday night. The First Lady has made no secret of her admiration for the superstar - recently naming Beyonce as the person she would most like to be if she could be anyone else. Governor Chris Christie was among the sell-out crowd packed into Revel's Ovation Hall. Mrs Obama and the girls appeared excited throughout the concert, cheering Beyonce on. The daughters even sang along to the old school-sounding jam Love On Top. The first lady got a roaring cheer that matched Beyonce's as she made her way to her seat in a shiny green dress. Some fans took photos while others screamed her name. One yelled, 'This is history!' Mrs Obama is due back in Washington on Monday for Memorial Day events before she heads to New Yo...

Tim Tebow teased with chants of 'Lolo!' in Jets locker room

Tim Tebow and American hurdling star Lolo Jones share two things in common: They're saving their virginity until marriage and they get made fun of incessantly for that decision. Jones, the 29-year-old world indoor champion and Olympic medal hopeful, recently told HBO's "Real Sports" that she was still a virgin. Once that interview aired, she drew immediate comparisons to America's most famous sexual holdout, Timothy Richard Tebow. That similarity wasn't lost on Tebow's New York Jets teammates. According to Kevin Armstrong of the New York Daily News, Tebow was serenaded with chants of "Lolo! Lolo!" when he entered the locker room following Thursday's OTAs and it wasn't because he's good at hurdling and sort of looks like Rashida Jones. Those chants don't seem right to me. If Tebow gets "Lolo!" chants, it's only fair that Antonio Cromartie enter to the calls of "Duggar!" Jones told Mary Carillo t...

Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyed win dancing with the stars

They called it "the most competitive season" ever on "Dancing with the Stars," but on Tuesday night, just one pair was good enough for Season 14 mirrorball glory. Green Bay Packers receiver Donald Driver is going to have to clear some space in his trophy cabinet, as he and professional partner Peta Murgatroyd were crowned the winners on "Dancing" on Tuesday night, beating out Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas (who came in second), and William Levy and Cheryl Burke (who took third). The athlete erupted in a fit of joy after learning he'd scooped the top prize, jumping up and down, before falling on the floor and rolling around with pure glee. His partner quickly ran over to him and the two embraced. Speaking to co-host Tom Bergeron just a moment later, Donald was a man of few words. "Amazing," the champ said of the win. "Oh! This is awesome. Thank you so much." It was judge Bruno Tonioli, after Donald's final compe...

Nepal's Kung fu nuns practise

It is a hot, cloudless morning on a hillside on the outskirts of Kathmandu and dozens of nuns arrange themselves into lines around a golden Buddhist shrine. In unison, each slams a clenched fist into their opposite palm, breathes deeply and waits, motionless in the rising heat. But these devotees are not here to pray or to meditate, for they have gathered to undergo a rigorous and aggressive martial arts routine as the world's first order of kung fu nuns. The sisters of the Amitabha Drukpa Nunnery -- aged from nine to 52 -- come from across Nepal , India , Tibet and Bhutan to learn the ancient Chinese discipline of kung fu, which they believe will help them be better Buddhists. Every day, they exchange their maroon robes and philosophical studies for a intense 90-minute session of hand chops, punches, shrieks and soaring high kicks. "The main reason for practising kung fu is for fitness and for health, but it also helps with meditation and self-defence,...

Annal Lynne McCord without Makeup on Twitter

  Annal Lynne McCord is a nice lady. She is awesome. She is so attractive to audience.  AnnaLynne McCord always looks stunningly beautiful and put together as Naomi Clark on her CW hit, "90210." However, the 24-year-old beauty wants fans to know she doesn't wake up looking like a flawless vixen -- a lot of work goes into getting her camera ready. "I woke up this morning and decided I'm over Hollywood's perfection requirement," the actress tweeted on Friday, along with a photo of herself without a stitch of makeup, with multiple blemishes visible on her usually smooth skin. "To all my girls (and boys) who have ever been embarrassed by their skin! I salute you! "I'm not perfect - and that's okay with me!" she added. AnnaLynne will next be seen on the big screen in "Officer Down," a crime drama in which she stars alongside real life love Dominic Purcell. The film - due to hit theaters later this year - also f...

Five things you should know about Mark Ruffalo

Mark Ruffalo is best known as an indie-type actor who has appeared in romantic comedies like "13 Going on 30" and "Date Night," and most notably the critically acclaimed drama "The Kids Are All Right." So it might strike some as an odd choice for the nice guy to play mild-mannered scientist Bruce Banner, who is capable of such anger it turns him into the Incredible Hulk, an enraged green monster. But maybe that's the point. One review called Ruffalo's portrayal in "The Avengers" "a revelation, turning Banner into a wry reservoir of calm ready to become a volcano." The revelations don't stop there -- here are more surprising facts about the actor. He's an activist : He turns into a green giant in " The Avengers ." And in real life, the actor sees green -- or more likely, blue. His organization, Water Defense, works to stop natural gas drilling (fracking) and looks for cleaner alternatives. The 44-yea...

Tom Hiddleston told Chris Hemsworth really hit

Chris Hemsworth stands 6'3" tall, and he put on 20 pounds of muscle to play Marvel Comics' hero, Thor.  He is equally adept at swinging his fists as he is a mythical hammer.  So who in the world would actually volunteer to be punched by him? Tom Hiddleston, his costar in " Marvel's The Avengers ," is who.  Hiddleston reprises the role of Loki -- first seen in last year's " Thor " -- the adopted brother of the god of thunder with an apocalyptic case of sibling rivalry.  Loki assembles an army to conquer the planet, and it will take the combined strength of Earth's mightiest heroes to stop him. Naturally, the climactic battle for the planet culminates in Thor and Loki coming to blows, and when I sat down to talk to Hiddleston, he explained that the hits you see on screen were real. Hiddleston said that when they were shooting the fight scene, "Joss [Whedon, the director] came over and said, 'Guys, I'm just not really ...

Are you having a party? Rent a celebrity!

A B-lister for your A-list event? You've been carrying on a one-sided romance with celebrities for years, watching them on big screens and small, dancing to their chart-topping singles and tweeting at every twist and turn of their private lives. Isn't it time you brought one home? Outrageous as it sounds, renting a celebrity today might turn out to be well within your budget. Thanks to the explosion of cable programming, viral videos and reality TV shows such as "American Idol," "The Bachelor," "Survivor" and "Jersey Shore," there are more "celebrities" than ever before -- all anxious to schmooze at your fundraiser, croon at your wedding or shout "Mazel tov!" at your bar or bat mitzvah.

"Anybody can buy a celebrity hos...

'Hunger Games' super star Josh Hutcherson: What's next ?

Those of you who've seen "The Hunger Games" will more than likely agree with our sentiment that there are a number of things to love about the weekend's box-office dominator. The film's success is first and foremost due to author Suzanne Collins' brilliance, followed by director Gary Ross' sleek and stylish take on the adaptation and, of course, the performances of the very talented cast. One of those standout performances is Josh Hutcherson's portrayal of loyal and lovable boy with the bread Peeta Mellark. He's so good in the film we just can't wait to see what he does with the character's arc in "Catching Fire." Unfortunately, we have to wait about 20 months until that happens, so in the meantime. First up is the R-rated teen horror/comedy film "Detention," which hits select theaters April 13. In the uniquely twisted and slightly outrageous film, Hutcherson plays Clapton Davis, a student of Grizzly Lake High...
