OITNB could be getting an amazing new guest star: Britney Spears

Sep 22, 2015

All of the stars of Orange is the New Black hit the red carpet for Sunday night’s Emmy awards. Before Uzo Aduba could take home her much-deserved award however, one of her co-stars was busy sending fans into a frenzy she was quizzed on the carpet.

Entertainment Tonight asked actress Taryn Manning a question that few of us had thought to end propose, because now we just cannot stop thinking about it: Will Britney Spears be on OITNB?

In case you forget this important moment in pop culture history, Britney and Taryn starred alongside each other in the classic noughties film Crossroads. Which was written by Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes, just FYI.

So, Taryn was asked if she would want to see Britney behind bars at some point on the show. Her answer:

"Of course! I want Britney everywhere," Manning said. "She's such a good actor I feel they can do anything with her. I was so impressed working with her.”

While some might doubt Britney’s acting chops, because to be fair the OITNB cast are quite amazing, Taryn gave her the seal of approval:

“She's so sincere in her acting. [With Crossroads] everyone was maybe hoping she wouldn't be good, but she was great."

Britney has just finished filming for a different series, Jane The Virgin, so perhaps this may actually be a reality at some point in the future. Taryn wasn’t quite sure who exactly Britney could play, although we’re sure fans have a few ideas, but she could share some Crossroads memories with us.

“There’s a very specific day [that stands out to me when I look back on the movie] — I was like ‘Sing, sing for me,’ right?- she sang the National Anthem for me in the car — for us — and it was the most perfect thing I’ve ever heard”

Jane Krakowski dropped a MAJOR Friends bombshell last night

Sep 21, 2015

Friends may have ended a whole decade ago, but fans still love re-imagining alternative endings and outcomes for the sitcom's six lead characters.

One change we're glad never came to pass though is a version of Friends WITHOUT Jennifer Aniston.

The 46-year-old actress started playing the role of Rachel Green in her mid-twenties, and while she has gone on to do plenty of film work since, it's still her most memorable part.

But last night actress Jane Krakowski revealed that it could have been her in the beloved role if things had gone a little differently.

"I, like almost every actor in the world, auditioned for Friends," Jane told E!'s Giuliana Rancic on the Emmys red carpet.

"I wish I had gotten that one. I actually auditioned for Rachel and didn't go very far."

Friends kicked off in 1994 and ran for ten years, finally ending in May 2004. With a starting salary of €20,000 per episode that soared to €890,000 per episode for each lead cast member for the final two seasons, it was certainly a gold mine in terms of TV roles.

Luckily for Jane, her big break came along just a few years later, when she landed a part in Ally McBeal as office assistant Elaine Vassal.

She later went on to play vapid actress Jenna in Tina Fey's 30 Rock, and is currently starring in the hit Netflix series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt alongside Ellie Kemper.

All the same, Jane admitted her manager was "very sad" that she failed to swing that Friends role. Yup, we would be too.

Paramedics called after actress passes out on Emmys red carpet

With temperatures soaring close to 40C in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, stars struggled to cope on the Emmys red carpet.

Heavy make-up and floor-sweeping gowns are hardly perfect hot weather attire, and the sizzling weather meant a lot of attendees were suffering. But things got too much for one actress in particular when she came close to collapsing during an E!'s live red carpet broadcast.

Olivia Culpo was on air with hosts Giuliana Rancic, Ross Matthews and Brad Goreski when she fell to her knees behind a podium.

She could be seen with her head between her legs as the other stars rushed to help her.

In another red carpet link-up later on, Giuliana was quick to reassure viewers that the former Miss USA was doing fine. "She got a little overheated at the end there, she's okay," she explained.

Olivia also took to Twitter after her fright, posting a picture of herself in a wheelchair being pushed through the theatre's main lobby.

"OMG it is SO HOT out here. Literally just almost passed out #Emmys2015 #ERedCarpet," she wrote, adding, "@GiulianaRancic @helloross @mrbradgoreski its ok I know u would have caught me."

Though there were no other fainting incidents, other stars were certainly showing signs of overheating.

Dancing With The Stars host Mario Lopez was drenched in sweat under his suit jacket, but he didn't mind showing off.

A pregnant Cat Deeley wisely came along with a portable fan:

And Amy Schumer followed suit too, being sure to keep cool in her custom made Zac Posen gown:

You'd never have this problem at the IFTAs, that's for sure.

At last! Sofia Vergara drops a major bombshell about her wedding day

Sep 21, 2015

by Amber Saunders

Gorgeous bride-to-be Sofia Vergara has been rather shady about her Big Day since getting engaged last December.

But clearly she was in the mood for wedding chit-chat on the Emmys red carpet last night: she dropped a MAJOR bombshell about her forthcoming nuptials.

Speaking to E!'s Ryan Seacrest, the 43-year-old actress confirmed that she'll be a married woman before the year is out: she'll say 'I do' to her handsome 38-year-old fiance, Joe Manganiello, in November.

Sofia also revealed that she's enjoyed adding her own special touches to the ceremony – including developing and creating her very own fragrance.

Showcasing the scent, which she has dubbed Love, at last night at the awards' show, she told Mr Seacrest that the fragrance "is romantic and sexy" – before offering him a whiff of her wrist.

The Colombian beauty went on to tell Mario Lopez that her wedding dress is going to be "very special dress," adding that it's "all beaded".

And Ms Vergara admitted that she is doing pretty much all the planning: "I ask Joe, like, the important things," she revealed, "but I do everything."

Although she's adamant that the day won't be a monstrous, OTT Hollywood affair. "It's big, but it's not insane. It's an amount of people we can keep under control, mostly family."

Bombshell beauty: Marilyn Monroe’s old style secrets

Sep 20, 2015

by Amber Saunders

When it comes to defining the eternal allure of old Hollywood glamour, no woman has made more of an impact than Marilyn Monroe.

As proof, look no further than Lifetime’s The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe, which has been nominated for three Emmys—including, of course, best hair and makeup.

We break down the iconic actresses own words, to give you all the captivating secrets behind the star's beauty.

“Despite its great vogue in California, I don’t think suntanned skin is any more attractive . . . or any healthier, for that matter. I’m personally opposed to a deep tan because I like to feel blonde all over."

“In Hollywood, a girl’s virtue is much less important than her hairdo.”

“You know, they ask me questions. Just an example: What do I wear to bed? . . . So I said, ‘Chanel No. 5,’ because it’s the truth!”

“I don’t count rhythmically like the exercise people on the radio; I couldn’t stand exercise if I had to feel regimented about it.”

A loved-up Cat Deeley debuts her TINY baby bump on the red carpet

Sep 14, 2015

There’s no doubt that last night’s Creative Arts Emmy Awards were a wholly glamorous affair – and none more so than for TV presenter Cat Deeley.

The star hit the red carpet with her Irish husband Patrick Kielty at the swish LA event, debuting her tiny baby bump in a gorgeous streamlined embellished gown from Mugler.

The 38-year-old teamed the €3,000 dress, which also boasts a generous side slit to the thigh, with silver strappy sandals and a black box clutch, but kept her accessories simple with drop earrings.

Patrick, 44, was evidently eager to show his wife off too; he took to Instagram to share a black and white snap of the duo en route to the event in their chauffeur-driven car.

@catdeeley About to walk this amazing woman up the red carpet. #wife nominated #husband already a winner #emmys

“About to walk this amazing woman up the red carpet,” he wrote, adding in the hashtags: #WifeNominated #HusbandAlreadyAWinner

Ms Deeley herself also shared her own image: a loved-up photo of her and her husband holding hands on the red-carpet while laughing warmly.

“Giggles for two… plus one…” she said – alluding to the pair’s forthcoming arrival.

Taking to Twitter earlier this month, Cat revealed her pregnancy with a touching message.

“Exciting news,” she gushed. “Paddy and I are so happy to be expecting our first child in the spring… Lucky us.”

An on-off couple – as well as firm friends – for years, Patrick and Cat married in a secret ceremony in Rome in 2012.

At the Emmys, she had been nominated for an award for her work on So You Think You Can Dance – a show she has successfully fronted since 2006.

However, she ultimately lost out to Hollywood Game Night star Jane Lynch, who walked away with the gong.

Recently, Patrick had joked that he hoped the baby would inherit his thick Co Down twang.

“I hope any child we might have has Cat’s looks and my accent,” he told the Birmingham Mail.

Awkward make-out session at the Emmy Awards!

Celebrity

Last night was a special night for Seinfeld fans as they got to see Tim Whatley and Elaine make-out again.

For those of use who didn’t watch Seinfeld, that means Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston totally macked on to Veep's Julia Louis-Dreyfus in major way!

The kiss came about after the two awarded Jim Parsons his Lead Actor Emmy where Bryan reminded Julia they "had a kissing scene" before, to which she looks a little confused.

So, he decided to remind her…

In what we can only hope was a stunt for comedic effect, Bryan grabbed Julia as she made her way up on stage after winning an award and the two engaged in some, erm, affectionate behaviour.

Thankfully, Jimmy Fallon was on hand to ensure things didn't get out of hand and pull Julia up on stage to accept her award.

Now the only thing standing in the way of this epic romance is their respective partners…
