Jamie Foxx Rocks Another Trayvon Martin T-Shirt
22 minutes ago
He's done it again! Jamie Foxx stepped out on the 2013 Bet Awards red carpet Sunday night in his go-to getup: a Trayvon Martin t-shirt.
It was last year, at the same annual event, that the 45-year-old actor first debuted the symbolic and supportive look. Since then Foxx has been relentless in throwing his voice, time and, well, wardrobe behind the Martin family's pursuit for justice. This past April, the "Django Unchained" star also wore a t-shirt honoring Martin and the Sandy Hook massacre victims at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards.
And with the recent start of the second-degree murder trial of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watchman who shot and killed Martin in February 2012, it's clear that Foxx's sartorial messaging (and more) will continue.
Check out the star's black-and-white tee from last night's 2013 Bet Awards and a look back at his other Martin moments.

How This New Kid On The Block Member Wound Up In 'The Heat'
25 minutes ago
The $40 million earned by "The Heat" during its opening weekend wasn't just a victory for funny women -- the financial windfall also represented a win for Boston. Only last summer's "Ted" had a bigger debut among movies set in the Massachusetts state capital.
To think it almost didn't happen. Written by Katie Dippold, "The Heat" was originally set in New York, but the production moved to Massachusetts for tax reasons.
"I was like, 'Let's set it in Boston and have fun with that,'" director Paul Feig told HuffPost Entertainment. For Feig, that meant putting a specific focus on the family of Boston cop Shannon Mullins (played by Melissa McCarthy).
"That was one of the funniest elements of Katie's script," Feig said. "When I was reading it, I felt all I could do was fuck it up by not casting it right. I was really kind of tense about how to do it. »

'The Wanted': Max's Hard Partying Leads To An Intervention
2 hours ago
Max's wild ways finally went too far on the latest episode of "The Wanted Life." He was partying with a group of strange girls, who ultimately left the house in shambles. Even worse, they wandered into the room of Siva and his girlfriend Nareesha while the couple was sleeping.
This was finally crossing the line. "I think we need to, like, look who we’re bringing back to the house now," said Tom's girlfriend, Kelsey.
“You need to be careful," she told Max. "You’ve got your Mac and stuff here. You’ve got all your songs on that. They can take that. They can sell your music.”
Max agreed that things had gotten out of hand, and took "full blame" for the girls wandering into Siva and Nareesha's room. He went around the room apologizing with kisses -- even planting one on Siva -- which E! Online just loved. »

'Breaking Amish' Finale: Moving Back To Amish Country
2 hours ago
It was time for the "Breaking Amish: Brave New World" season finale, and it brought with it a bombshell announcement from Abe and Rebecca. They'd decided to move back to Amish country in Pennsylvania.
They weren't rejoining the Amish lifestyle, but they wanted to settle down in Pennsylvania. Abe's mom, Mary, was stunned. She'd just left the Amish and thought the whole family would stay in Florida.
"I have a lot of concerns about going home, because I know I’m definitely going to be shunned," Mary said. "It sounds like you’re throwing me to the lions.”
She said that it was Rebecca making the decisions. Abe responded, "I am married now, I have a family. It’s time for you to let me go, mom.”
But Mary stayed by her son, despite her reservations. All three moved back to Pennsylvania where Abe and Rebecca bought a house. »

'Princesses: Long Island': Old Enemies At The Intervention
2 hours ago
The girls were worried about Erica's excessive partying and binge drinking on "Princesses: Long Island." It seemed that she was partying even harder at 29 than she did back in high school. So Chanel decided to stage an intervention.
Usually at an intervention, you surround the person with people who care about them. Chanel, instead, decided to invite Erica's high school nemesis, Casey. And remember that these girls aren't over any of the high school drama they experienced.
Nevertheless, Casey did stay on topic with the intervention. "Like, stars die in bathtubs," she told Erica. "Things happen. You can kill yourself that way.”
But then, she had to add, "“I’m embarrassed for you.” In a confessional, Erica said that she felt like she'd been "shot in the face."
The Jewish Journal called the intervention "painful," adding that these girls "suck at keeping it real."

'Naked & Afraid': Severe Injury Could End The Adventure
2 hours ago
After a fractured pairing in the premiere of "Naked & Afraid" last week, this week's duo developed a strong bond during their 21 days in the wilderness. But while the couple proved capable of coming together to find success, their experience was nearly brought to an end by external forces.
46-year-old Army veteran Ej Snyder sustained a serious foot puncture toward the beginning of their adventure. As the days passed, his foot grew more and more infected to the point that the production crew felt they had no choice but to intervene.
"It’s very inflamed," a producer told Ej. "I’m worried that you’re not gonna make it to the end.”
He got medical attention for his wound locally and was given the choice to quit or continue. He opted to finish out his adventure. But just how real is everything shown on this survival show?

'Drop Dead Diva': New Jane And Original Jane Bond
2 hours ago
Things were getting a little weird on "Drop Dead Diva" as Jane was bonding with ... well, Jane. The original Jane had returned from Heaven, and was now in the body of Britney. And while she'd originally said she wanted her life back as Jane, that wasn't exactly right.
What she really wanted was for Deb-as-Jane to finish some unfinished business she had by getting a client off of death row. During the process, the two women who shared something remarkable and nearly inexplicable actually bonded.
Jane-as-Britney revealed that her guardian angel had been advising her to stay away from Jane. "She says I need to live my life as Britney," Britney said.
“The best advice I can give you? You have a second chance. Make the most of it," Jane told her.
TV Fanatic described their bonding moments as “the longing to get as close as possible to what they »

'Devious Maids': Marisol Sees The Letter Flora Wrote Before Her Death
2 hours ago
It's only the second week of "Devious Maids," and already Marisol's investigation into the murder of the Powell's maid, Flora, is bearing fruit. Marisol's son is being charges with her murder, but he insists he's innocent, and Marisol is determined to help him prove it.
She offered to pick up some extra work at the Powell house, and this week found the letter Flora appeared to be writing moments before she was brutally stabbed and killed. Unfortunately, Mr. Powell was in the room as well. After reading one line of the letter -- "I was raped." -- he snatched it out of Marisol's hand.
"Wait, what was that?" Marisol asked, but Mr. Powell wouldn't give her any answers.
“I’m sorry, Marisol. The time for questions is over," he insisted, but it's unlikely she'll stop seeking answers.
She told her son that she had "ways" of getting the letter back, »

'Kardashians': Kris Offers To Get Rob Therapy
2 hours ago
Kris Jenner was getting legitimately worried about her son, Rob Kardashian, on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." He seemed to be isolating himself more and more from the rest of the family. And when he was out, he was allegedly lashing out at the paparazzi -- the charges were later dropped, but Kris' concern wasn't going anywhere.
“I can’t just let you ... hide out in your room," Kris told her son. "That is a sign to me of somebody’s who’s not extremely happy and maybe a little depressed.”
She told him that she cared about him and wanted to be there for him. She even offered to get him therapy, but Rob refused.
“They way she described it made it seem so much worse than just some string-cheese binges and fibs," The Stir wrote of Kris' concern in this episode. "She seemed legitimately worried for him, »

'Big Brother': Jessie More Concerned About A Showmance Than The Game
2 hours ago
While there is a game underway on "Big Brother," one contestant seems to be already completely distracted by all the pretty faces in the unusually young cast this season. Jessie was desperate for a showmance, and yet she couldn't decide between two of the show's hunks. There's tatted-up Jeremy and super-pale Nick, but who's the right one?
“I’m like Bella and it’s like Edward and [Jacob]," she lamented to fellow houseguest Amanda.
“Being trapped with Jessie is like being trapped with a little girl at a Justin Bieber concert," Amanda said. "Every single boy that looks like her, she has a crush on him.”
She admitted that she was playing along as if this was one of the most important decisions in the world. In reality, she felt differently, revealing in a confession, "All I want to do is slap her in the face.”
Jessie may not make it to a showmance, »

San Diego — Actor Jim Kelly, who played a glib American martial artist in "Enter the Dragon" with Bruce Lee, has died. He was 67.
Marilyn Dishman, Kelly's ex-wife, said he died Saturday of cancer at his home in San Diego.
Sporting an Afro hairstyle and sideburns, Kelly made a splash with his one-liners and fight scenes in the 1973 martial arts classic. His later films included "Three the Hard Way," "Black Belt Jones" and "Black Samurai."
During a 2010 interview with salon.com, Kelly said he started studying martial arts in 1964 in Kentucky and later moved to California where he earned a black belt in karate. He said he set his sights on becoming an actor after winning karate tournaments. He also played college football.
The role in the Bruce Lee film was his second. He had about a dozen film roles in the 1970s before his acting work tapered off. In recent years, »

12 hours ago
Las Vegas -- A Paris-born performer in Cirque du Soleil's "Ka" died after a fall during a show in Las Vegas.
Sarah Guyard-Guillot was pronounced dead late Saturday night at a hospital after falling about 50 feet from the show's stage.
Witnesses told the Las Vegas Sun (http://bit.ly/14H3Te0) that the accident occurred near the end of the production Saturday night at the MGM Grand.
Visitor Dan Mosqueda of Colorado Springs, Colo., says the 31-year-old acrobatic performer was being hoisted up the side of the stage when she slipped free of her safety wire and plummeted to an open pit below the performers.
He says the audience initially thought it was part of the show, but realized it was an accident when they heard the artist cry from the stage.
