Freeze! ... Nicole, you can unfreeze now! Nicole?! Uh oh -- we think she's stuck that way!

Nicole Kidman's frozen face is drawing more attention at the 67th Annual Cannes Film Festival than the controversy surrounding her film Grace of Monaco. Maybe it's a good thing people are talking about the 46-year-old's creepy countenance and attention is being diverted from this tanker of a movie!

Hey remember when Nicole Kidman's face actually moved? Yeah, we barely do either.

The film tells the tale of Grace Kelly, the legendary film actress who eventually became Princess of Monaco after marrying Prince Rainier III in 1956. Interestingly enough, the duo met at the Cannes film festival the year prior.

Grace of Monaco has been universally panned by the press after opening the Cannes Film Festival today. “I’m neither a biographer nor a historian,” defended the film's director, Olivier Dahan. “It’s never been a biopic in my mind from the very beginning.”

Well whatever it is -- the people aren't liking it.

Monaco's Royal Family is also not pleased with the film, none of the royals journeyed the short distance the 34-mile trip from Monaco to Cannes for the premiere. In addition to the royal controversy, the film's producer Harvey Weinstein publicly taken issue with Dahan over the final cut.

Despite the film being critically slammed, the Aussie, who wore a white dress and held her head high, joined Tim Roth and her Grace of Monaco co-stars for the movie's photocall during the French film fest. In true Hollywood form, the stars appeared to be unshaken by the criticism, smiling and looking as happy as can be while photogs took their pics.

Umm now can we talk about Nicole's face again?

Guess they had a change of heart!

Beyonce and Jay Z will be in attendance at Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Parisian wedding on May 24, Radar reports.

It was rumored hip hop's royal couple was going to skip the nuptials because they was going to be filmed for Keeping Up with the Kardashians, but now that Kimmy K has revealed it won't be televised it appears they decided to go.

Yeezy couldn't be more excited, either!

'The best news came when Jay sent a gift to Kanye with an inscription referring to Jay Z as best man. Kanye was so excited... he was running around Kris‘ house to find Kim saying, 'Baby, look! Jay and B are coming!'," a source told the website.

The E! reality star recently confessed that while cameras won't be rolling while they tie the knot, they plan to film everything leading up to the big moment. Therefore, Blue Ivy's parents have supposedly refused to to be shot at the rehearsal dinner as well.

Talk about guests of honor!

 

Two And A Half Men To End After 2015 Season

When CBS presented its 2014-15 schedule this morning, the network made the announcement that the upcoming season of Two and a Half Men will be its last. Hmm, wonder if this would have happened if Charlie Sheen hadn't been replaced by Ashton Kutcher back in 2010?

On how the series will be wrapped up, CBS exec Nina Tassler said, "Chuck Lorre is creating a season-long event. We did very well last year with announcing final season of How I Met Your Mother here, too. Chuck is very psyched about this; he's got some great ideas and very big surprises. We know fans and audiences respond to that and that should really give us a nice boost when we launch our new comedy."

Tassler was asked if Sheen might return to the show, to which she replied, “I would like to see whatever Chuck would like to do. He has assured us that he has a lot of surprises in store. I don't know if that's one of them.” That's not a no! But would Mr. Tiger Blood really want to come back and work with the same people he publicly slammed during his infamous meltdown a few years ago?

Though a drop in ratings could be blamed for the show not getting renewed, it is a huge hit in syndication with an estimated value at more than $1 billion, and as of last season Kutcher was raking in $700,000 per episode while co-star John Cryer was given about $620,000 per episode. Not a bad run!

Cover your ears, Jennifer Aniston!

Angelina Jolie covers this week's issue of People, and the actress dishes about her relationship with Brad Pitt, their upcoming wedding, and their kids involvement in the planning process.

"We are discussing it with the children and how they imagine it might be, which is verging on hysterical, how kids envision a wedding," she confesses to the mag.

"They will, in a way, be the wedding planners. It's going to be Disney or paintball – one or the other!" she jokes.

The Oscar winner goes on to explain how her relationship with her A-list beau has changed over the years.

"You're not lovers or boyfriend and girlfriend as much as you are a family," she gushes.

Angie is usually never this candid!

And not only that, but she has a heart of gold too!

Rihanna had dinner at Giorgio Baldi last night, and while she looked hot hot hot in this metallic ensemble, it's not her fashion that has the internet is buzzing this morning -- it's her generosity! After accidentally breaking LA Police Commission President Steve Soboroff's cell phone at the Clippers NBA playoff game last Friday, the pop star has donated $25k to a police charity.

Apparently Soboroff asked for a picture with Rihanna, and while she was more than happy to oblige, she dropped his phone on the floor while trying to snap a selfie of them! Rihanna tweeted after the game, "Sorry I broke your phone @SteveSoboroff :)" and then she made a donation of $25,000 to his L.A. Police Foundation.

Beyonce Posts Happy Photos With Sister Solange After Jay Z Attack

Damage control much?

After posting a cryptic Instagram message last week following the bizarre altercation between her husband Jay Z and little sister Solange, Beyonce Knowles shared a handful of throwback snapshots of herself with Solange on Instagram this morning. Wait, so no one is going to to make an official statement about this? But it's ok to keep fueling the fire with social media uploads?

Just two days after Solange assaulted Jay Z in an elevator, Bey posted a message that read, "Help me to choose my friends wisely so I won't be left astray. Give me discernment and strength to separate myself from anyone who is not a good influence." However, the security footage of Solange punching and kicking Jay hadn't been leaked online yet, and the trio probably had every reason to believe that aside from their bodyguard, no one else would ever find out about Solange's outburst.

Bey, Sol and Jay are "trying to put the situation past them now," but this isn't the first time this has happened. "That's why Bey and Jay were so calm," an insider tells Us Weekly. "They are used to this from Solange. It has definitely happened before. She is genuinely a sweet and nice person but she also keeps sh*t real. She can take a small thing and it triggers her."

After the leak, Solange deleted a handful of Instagram photos with Bey, and not only that, but she seems to have been dropped from the Roc Nation record label! You know, the one that Jay Z signed her to back in 2011?

Still, based on Bey's Instagram posts, she seems to be doing just fine with her little sister, as she posted four photos of herself with Solange during happier times: on vacation, onstage at Coachella and all dolled up at an unknown event.

But what happens next?

 

Report: Justin Bieber Under Investigation For Attempted Robbery At Amusement Park

More bad news for the Biebs. Unruly man child Justin Bieber is under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department for attempted robbery.

This morning the LAPD released a statement:
    "The Los Angeles Police Department, Robbery Homicide Division, Robbery Special Section, is conducting an investigation involving Justin Bieber. On May 12, 2014, around 10:30 p.m. an incident occurred between an individual and Mr. Bieber near the batting cages located in the 4900 block of N. Sepulveda Boulevard. The case remains under investigation with detectives conducting numerous interviews."


The woman, who filed the complaint on Tuesday, claims that she and her 13-year-old daughter were at Sherman Oaks Castle Park, a "family entertainment center," at the same time as the "Boyfriend" singer, reports TMZ. When the mother reached for her phone to take a pic of the wild child, Bieber demanded the phone and after the woman refused to hand it over, the musician reportedly grabbed her purse and took the phone from it. 

The woman then, "began wrestling with Bieber, trying to get her phone back," according to the outlet. Eventually Bieber relented when he couldn't figure out the phone's passcode. Subsequently, the mom showed the 20-year-old she hadn't snapped any pics and tried to explain that she and her daughter had simply hoped to say hello to the superstar.

Bieber allegedly responded, "You're humiliating yourself in front of your daughter. Why don't you just get out of here?" 

Yeah Bieber, because wrestling a mom in front of her teenaged daughter is such an esteemable act! Looks like the mom figured out a good way to humiliate him back!

We hope these two aren't still Beliebers after this!

Poor Lam Lam!

Lamar Odom hit up Penthouse nightclub in West Hollywood last night, and he got the surprise of a lifetime when he was denied at the door! The reason? His soon-to-be ex-wife Khloe Kardashian and her new boyfriend French Montana were partying inside!

The basketball star waited awkwardly in line for several minutes before giving up and heading back to his car. It's unclear whether the couple instructed the door men to keep the former Clippers star out, or whether the venue decided it was a good idea in order to avoid a nasty confrontation.

An X17 photographer tells us:

    "Lamar looked embarassed and bristled when the bouncer mentioned French Montana's name. It's clear the wounds from his split with Khloe haven't healed yet."


The reality star and sister Kim were there to support the Moroccan rapper, who was the special guest of the evening.

My how times have changed!
