Robert Pattinson recently did a photo shoot for a French magazine and while the pictures they printed weren't over the top, the shoot itself got pretty racy. It included Rob groping around with a model while both of them were topless. But apparently, Rob didn't enjoy it. A source says, "The girl snaked all over his body, nibbling his earlobes, kissing his face and neck and pressing her bare boobs against him, but you could see he was uncomfortable with it. He seemed to get all nervous and started worrying that it was just going too far." Then it went too far. "Toward the end of the shoot the photographer instructed the model to lick Rob's nipples! That was the kiss of death. Rob called cut and went in his dressing room and made a phone call." While Rob eventually came back out and finished the shoot, the magazine got a call from his people a few days later demanding that they pull the pics that were too racy.

Jennifer Lopez still hasn't decided if she wants to return for another season of "American Idol". On "Ellen" yesterday, she said, "I really do enjoy it now, this is my second year. I don't know if I can go for a third year. I miss doing other things. It really does lock you down, which was nice the first year with the babies being three, but now they're getting more mobile, they're about to go into school, so I just don't know." Here's video. Skip to the 2:30 mark, otherwise just watch her and Cameron Diaz talk about the non-existent beef on the set of "What To Expect When You're Expecting."


Robert Downey Jr. may make as much as $50 million off "The Avengers." What a genius - after the first "Iron Man" was a hit, Downey's reps renegotiated his deal so that he gets a cut of the profits on any movie in which he plays the character. And none of the other Avengers are getting anything even close. Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner only got between $2 million and $3 million. Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson got twice that, because they have deals to appear in several of the upcoming Marvel superhero movies.

Maria Menounos and Derek Hough had a perfect 30 on Monday night's episode of "Dancing With the Stars" but she still wound up in jeaopardy along with Donald Driver and Peta Mergatroid. In a shocking elimination, Maria and Derek were sent home. That leaves Donald, William Levy and Katherine Jenkins to compete for the Mirrorball Trophy next week.

We've heard that Britney Spears will rake in around $15 million for doing "X Factor" next season, but we hadn't heard anything on Demi Lovato's take. Well, Demi is getting just over $1 million meaning that Britney will be making 15 times her salary. This sounds crazy at first, but the more you think about it, the more it makes sense. Demi is lucky to even have the gig. If Simon Cowell wasn't chasing demographics, she probably wouldn't have been on his radar.

Sarah Hyland who plays Haley Dunphy on "Modern Family" has been battling kidney disease most of her life. And on April 13th, she had a kidney transplant. The donor was her father. In an interview with "Seventeen" magazine, Sarah says, "You know that family is always going to be there for you no matter what. My dad gave me a freakin' kidney! But it's also the families that you create outside of your family. And you really find out what kind of people you're friends with. I have a second chance at life, not a lot of people get that." One person who's really been there for Sarah is her boyfriend Matt Prokop. He guest starred as Ethan on last week's episode of "Modern Family". Sarah says, "He helps me with my medication and takes me to doctor appointments and all the stuff that I need to do to take care of myself. Any other 21-year-old guy would not be there, I guarantee it. I am one of the luckiest people in the world to have him be there for me."


Jay-Z doesn't have anything new in the pipeline right now because he's taking a break to chill with his four-month-old daughter, Blue Ivy. He says, "I thought I would be more inspired to have all these new feelings to talk about, but I really just want to hang out with my daughter. I want to enjoy this time for what it is. I'm sure that bug to get back in the studio will come back at some point." Meanwhile, Jay-Z the businessman is still working. He's developing a music festival called "Made in America," which will go down in Philadelphia over Labor Day weekend. He will headline the show, but none of the other acts have been announced.

This week, all the major networks are unveiling their schedules for next season and yesterday, Fox took its turn. The biggest news is that Britney Spears and Demi Lovato are replacing Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger as judges on "X Factor". There's been a ton of speculation about this, but now it's finally official. Britney and Demi appeared with Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid at a Fox event yesterday. Britney said, "I'm so excited about this whole experience. It's going to be so much fun and so different from anything I've ever done. I'm ready to find the true star." Demi said, "I am totally stoked to be here. I'm excited to represent my generation and I'm ready to find the winner."


Fox announced five new shows for next season, three comedies and two dramas. Here's a quick rundown of each:
-"The Mindy Project": A sitcom about a young gynecologist, played by Mindy Kaling, who you know as Kelly from "The Office". She alsocreated the show. "The Mindy Project" is the show's tentative title. It'll probably end up being called something else. Hopefully.

-"The Mob Doctor": A drama about a "brilliant female surgeon" who's "caught between her medical career and her family's debt to the Mafia."

The shows Fox is not bringing back next season are: "Alcatraz", "Breaking In", "The Finder", "I Hate My Teenage Daughter", "Terra Nova" and "House", which is airing its series finale next week.

Hiccups, we all get them from time to time, and the most annoying thing about them is they are so darn hard to get rid of. But 13-year-old Mallory Kievman seems to have finally found a cure to this irritating problem – a hiccup-stopping lollipop called the Hiccupop.

Mallory's quest to find a real cure for hiccups started during the summer of 2010. She had tried to cure her uncontrollable hiccups by swallowing saltwater, making herself gag, eating a spoonful of sugar, drinking a glass of water upside-down or sipping pickle juice. None of those seemed to work on their own, but the ambitious young girl was determined to find a real cure for the annoying problem man has been facing since the beginning of time. Fast forward two years and almost 100 folk remedies tried, Mallory Kievman has reached her goal and is starting a company to commercialize and promote her magic product – Hiccupops.

Believe it or not, the stubborn inventor created the special hiccup-stopper right in her family's kitchen, in Manchester, Connecticut. After a lengthy process of trial and error, Mallory decided to incorporate her three favorite cures – lollipops, apple cider vinegar and sugar - into one killer combo she named Hiccupops. "It triggers a set of nerves in your throat and mouth that are responsible for the hiccup reflex arc. It basically over-stimulates those nerves and cancels out the message to hiccup," the 13-year-old says.

But Mallory didn't just rest on her laurels after inventing Hiccupops, she went on to present her product to the world, and during a convention for kids, she met Danny Briere, a serial entrepreneur and founder of Startup Connecticut. She new that people would immediately fall in love with Hiccupops or just think she was nuts. Lucky for her, and everyone who hates hiccups, Briere loved her idea and decided to help this young girl launch her own company. "It's very rare, when you're evaluating businesses, that you can envision a company or product being around 100 years from now. Hiccupops is one of those things. It solves a very simple, basic need", Briere said about Mallory's invention, and it's hard to disagree with him on this one.

Now, Mallory Kievman will have her own team of consultants, as the University of Connecticut's Innovation Accelerator is preparing to dispatch a group of graduate business students to help the 13-year-old inventor launch Hiccupops, this summer. Mallory hopes her hiccup-stopping lollipop will become a staple of school nurses' offices and drugstores, and that it will even bring serious benefit to people suffering from cancer, as it is known that chemotherapy causes hiccups. Now that she's managed to find a formula that hardens well and is stable for shelf storage, Mallory is focusing on tweaking the taste of her Hiccupops.


Isn't that awesome?? Here's the link to the story - incredible! She's 13!! Wow...

In the Big Fat Rumor of the Day, someone is shopping a tape of sexy male model Tyson Beckford. But it's just Tyson. He's by himself. You know, handling things all alone. Sources say it's 45 minutes long, and Tyson is video chatting with a female model while he's doing a little five on one. He also talks about some of the movies he's been in and actors he's worked with. Tyson also reveals one of his biggest pet peeves: Being mistaken for Tyrese Gibson. Tyson has had a very limited acting career and is most famous for hosting Bravo's "Make Me a Supermodel". Meanwhile Tyrese has been in all three "Transformers" movies and two of the "Fast and the Furious" flicks. There's no word if the tape is legit, or if anyone is interested in buying it. Beckford's camp says they haven't seen it and won't comment until they do.

Jessica Simpson has sold the first pics of her newborn daughter Maxwell to "People" magazine for $800,000. That's on the low-end for celebrity baby pics. Four years ago, "People" shelled out $11 million for the first shots of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's twins. Although industry people have said numerous times that the market for baby photos will never get that outrageous again. On the other hand, Beyonce and Jay-Z didn't make a dime off their daughter Blue Ivy. They just posted pictures of her online. Meanwhile, Jessica seems to be enjoying motherhood so far. Here are some of her recent Tweets: "Motherhood is by far the best thing I've ever experienced." "She is insanely beautiful. I can't help but play dress up!" and "I'm addicted to buying headbands with massive flowers for Maxwell." How cute!

Serena Williams wants to be a rapper. That's about all I need to say - just listen and form your own opinion.

Rihanna may finally be ready to wash her hands of Chris Brown, after she unfollowed him on Twitter yesterday. She dropped him almost immediately after he released a remix of the Kanye West track "Way Too Cold" which contains a verse that sounds like it's aimed at her. The line says, "Don't f*** with my old b**** / It's like a bad fur / Every industry n**** done had her / Shook the tree like a pumpkin just to smash her / B**** is breaking codes, but I'm the password." After Rihanna unfollowed Chris, he unfollowed her too, and said, "Assumptions! I didn't say any names so if u took offense to it then it's something you feel guilty about." WARNING!!! It is NOT safe for work or kids!! Lots of CURSING!! The line in question is at the 1:11 mark.

It's a question I've been meaning to ask you, and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable."

Here's the deal: Back in January, John married a woman named Tricianne Taylor. But according to Betty, she and John are still married. And even though they've been separated since 1996, Betty's lawsuit says they're, "in regular contact and speak together many times per week. They attend family functions together, including their daughter's wedding in California." Betty says she found out about John's new wife from a wedding announcement in the newspaper. But she says that John has problems with alcohol, depression, hoarding and possibly early-onset dementia. She adds, "I love my husband and I don't want a divorce. We have been married 42 years. He needs help." Betty is seeking to have John's marriage to Tricianne annulled. She also got a restraining order to keep Tricianne from getting her hands on any Witherspoon money or possessions.
