On Thursday Charlie Hunnam biked to the set of Sons of Anarchy in Los Angeles, and the 33-year-old actor looked much more at home on his motorcycle than we imagine he'd be in a suit on the set of Fifty Shades of Grey.

Hunnam dropped out of the movie last week, and though he cited scheduling conflicts, it's been reported that it had more to do with money and creative control. Hunnam was being paid a scant $125,000 to play the S&M loving Christian Grey, and according to The Hollywood Reporter the star reportedly made several script revisions, and while they were initially well received, this allegedly created tension between him and director Sam Taylor-Johnson.

And what's this we hear about Rob Pattinson's name being thrown around the mix? Not for casting, mind you, but apparently Charlie saw how Rob's fame skyrocketed after the success of the Twilight franchise and wasn't interested in being hounded by fans and the press 24/7. "[Charlie] dropped out of the project because he didn't want to be typecast," a source tells People magazine. "He didn't want the Robert Pattinson-esque attention that would come along with taking on this role."

So now the question is ... who do YOU think should play Christian Grey?

Britney Spears' Father Makes $16K A Month To Be Conservator, Asks For More Money

Britney Spears' father already makes $192,000 a year/$16,000 a month to be his daughter's conservator, but now Jamie Spears is asking for more money.

“I continue to perform services to protect and care for Britney’s person and to administer her estate in good faith and in her best interests,” Jamie wrote in a petition filed on Oct. 15 in Los Angeles, reports RadarOnline. “I continue to have significant oversight duties relating to her visitation with her children.”

In addition to the monthly sum, Jamie also receives $1,200 each month to pay rent for his office space that is a "secure location that is dedicated to Britney’s activities," but claims that "rent has steadily escalated over the last three years," so he has asked to be authorized to increase the monthly allotment of funds to $2,000, and to be reimbursed for the amount of $7,200.

Jamie is only asking the judge to increase the rent amount, however after taking home almost $200K a year-- any increase of funds seems like a lot to us. After five years of being BritBrit's conservator, her pop has made almost a cool million off of his daughter.

While we think it's odd that the 31-year-old is still under conservatorship five years after her infamous break down, the "Toxic" singer seems to be soaring under her father's watchful eye. The hit maker has signed up for a two-year residency in Las Vegas -- and will reportedly remain under the conservatorship through it.

While it's definitely an interesting arrangement for popstar, who is estimated to be worth $220 million, to be in, but we guess it works for the music sensation!

We're just glad to see Britney has stayed away from the electric razor!

 

Joe Jonas Surfaces Amid Rumors That He's Responsible For Splitting Up The Jonas Brothers

Joe Jonas arrived at Boa for a lunch meeting on Thursday, and the 24-year-old musician appeared to be in good spirits, despite the rumors swirling that he's the one responsible for the cancellation of the Jonas Brothers tour last week.

Just two days before they were set to kick off their tour in Pennsylvania, the band's rep announced that they had pulled the plug, adding in a statement, "There is a deep rift within the band. There was a big disagreement over their music direction."

Joe was then seen out with renowned sober coach Mike Bayer, who once worked with Demi Lovato after her infamous meltdown and is "well known for quickly responding to crisis situations," typically involving substance abuse or mental health issues. Over the last 48 hours several websites have reported that Joe is battling a major substance abuse problem, with BlindGossip even suggesting that the star was using heroin. Yikes!

On Wednesday night the group deleted their Twitter account, further fueling speculation that they had broken up. "They are not getting along at all. It's uglier than you think," a music industry source told People. "They are each looking into solo projects. Nick and the Administration are working on another album. They are moving forward away from the Jonas Brothers. I think this is the beginning of the end."

Jake Gyllenhaal shot scenes for his new film Nightcrawler on Thursday in Los Angeles, and the 32-year-old actor showed off a thinner frame and much longer locks. Not his best look!

Gyllenhaal plays a freelance underground crime journalist in the movie, which also stars Bill Paxton and Rene Russo. Gyllenhaal is also a producer on the film, which was written by Dan Gilroy, who has penned scripts for The Bourne Legacy and Real Steel, among other films.

Jakey recently chatted with Us Weekly at the Toronto Film Festival about the flick and said, "We're shooting on a 24-hour schedule and we have like no money. But it's a really solid screenplay.” Can't wait to hear more about it!

Getting Halloween started a little early, are we?!

Bethenny Frankel browsed the bookshelves at Barnes & Noble with her adorable daughter Bryn yesterday in N.Y.C., and the talk show host was either trying to go incognito or simply having a little fun by donning a red mask!

Rumors recently swirled that the Skinnygirl mogul was feuding with Ellen Degeneres, who produces her talk show, but apparently there's no truth to the reports.

"Let me say this - because I only hear about this stuff I don't really pay attention to what's in the press - but I did hear that there was a story that I was distancing myself from you and from the show and I wanted my name off the show. I think people think, as Andy Cohen said on your show the other day, that there is always a tiny bit of truth to any rumor that you read... There is absolutely not one crumb of truth in that at all. I am not distancing myself from your show, I love you. I am so proud of you. I am proud to have my name on it and I think you are amazing and we are friends," Degeneres said during an appearance on Bethenny.

Apparently Alex Rodriguez has a thing for hookers -- especially ones that come in pairs, at least that's what a new book about one of New York's poshest apartment buildings alleges. The book called House Of Outrageous Fortune: Fifteen Central Park West, The World's Most Powerful Address, by Michael Gross claims that the Yankee often hired escorts, often two at at time, while living in an ultra exclusive $30,000-a-month apartment on the Upper East Side in 2010.

In the book, a building worker told Gross that the controversial baseball player, "got hookers all the time," even while with his movie star girlfriend Cameron Diaz. "Usually two at a time, two times a week. One time he had two go up, they came down and left, and 10 minutes later, Cameron Diaz walks in," the worker told the author.

Ron Berkowitz, A-Rod's spokesman told the New York Post that the allegations were, "categorically false. ... This is a further effort to fabricate scandal around Alex."

Other A-listers that shared the same address as A-Rod include Sting, Denzel Washington Bob Costas and a handful of Wall Street bigwigs.

 

Taylor Momsen Rocks Out In New Music Video For "Going To Hell"

Posted on Thu Oct 17th, 2013 10:30am PDT       By X17 Staff




It's hard to believe that just a few years ago Taylor Momsen was the sweet and innocent Little J on Gossip Girl...

Taylor and her band, The Pretty Reckless, made their debut in 2009, and even though she switched up her look and went to the dark side, we still love her. The group just released the music video for their new song "Going To Hell," and yesterday Taylor tweeted, "FINALLY our first video in over 2 years #goingtohellishere." This is the lead single and title track from their upcoming second studio album, which will be released in early 2014.

Miss Momsen looks AMAZING in a black latex catsuit, and she also carries a snake on her shoulders and does all sorts of dirty hot (but mostly safe for work) things in the vid. Check it out!

She has a knack for taming serial womanizers!

Katy Perry and John Mayer are going strong and headed for marriage, Us Weekly reports.

"Everyone knows it's just a question of when John will propose," a source tells the mag.

The pair attended John's brother's wedding last week, and according to onlookers, the "Roar" singer already seemed like part of the family. The brunette bombshell danced with her beau's dad Richard and "popped Cristal for everyone at the after party."

The pop star is gearing up for the release of her album Prism, and the blues crooner is in the middle of his European tour, but the duo won't let a little distance get in the way of their love affair.

"They Skype and text all day. John always checks in before bed," the source adds.

We guess she can stop singing about the one that got away!
