Talk about getting in the middle of things!

Lena Dunham has spoken out against Rihanna and Chris Brown's relationship yet again, this time slamming the singer for getting back with her ex.

The Girls writer/star chatted with Alec Baldwin on his podcast and said she used to be a big fan of the Bajan beauty's music, but these days she's turned off. “It’s an amazing thing and it’s like, it’s a platform that you have to take seriously,” Dunham said.
“Which is why sometimes, it’s like, I used to be really into Rihanna, that pop star, and then it’s like again, I don’t want to ever throw stones from my glass house, but I follow her on Instagram and I just think about how many little girls beyond what I could even comprehend are obsessed with Rihanna. Like you know, she left Barbados, she’s had this amazing career, she’s won a Grammy… She’s talented. And then she gets back together with Chris Brown and posts a million pictures of them smoking marijuana together on a bed. And it cracks my heart in half in a way that makes me feel like I’m 95 years old.”

Last February Dunham tweeted, "Rihanna and Chris Brown's new duets make me want to go hide under Gloria Steinem's bed for 72 hours." Maybe Lena will write in a joke about their relationship in the next season of Girls? After all, she's gotten a bit political so far this season, so what's to stop her from putting in a few pop culture references?

Brandi Glanville Blows Off Some Steam At The Gym, Stays Mum On Leann Rimes Drama

We bet after the week she's had she needed to get some aggression out!

Brandi Glanville headed to the gym this morning, and considering what a perfect body she has, we doubt she is working out to lose weight. It's more likely she's kickboxing her anger away!

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has had quite a drama-filled past couple of days. After calling Leann Rimes "insane" on Watch What Happens Live, the country singer appeared on Jimmy Kimmel and blasted the reality star for reigniting their feud.

"I usually don't engage [in the feud] but there comes a time when you're just like, 'Screw you," the Grammy winner sniped.

When our photographer asked about the feud, Miss Glanville decided not to comment because she was "on the phone," but her sly smile says it all!

Miss Rimes isn't the only person the former model's at war with, though! She appears on this week's cover of Us Weekly because of a nasty catfight with co-star Adrienne Maloof.

She certainly knows how to get publicity! And she has no shame in self promotion, as we snapped her at LAX airport last night visibly carrying her newly released book Drinking and Tweeting.

Jennifer Lopez Catches Our Attention In A Sexy Leopard Suit

Jennifer Lopez boots legs nyc sexy leopard

Jennifer Lopez may still be Jenny from the block, as evident from the sexy (but slightly trashy) A.L.C. leopard suit she wore in New York City on Tuesday night for her appearance on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.

J. Lo is currently promoting her new film Parker, but during her chat with Jon, she seemingly defended fellow superstar Beyonce Knowles for her alleged lip-synching debacle.

“You know, sometimes it happens,” she said. “When you’re in certain stadiums and in certain venues, they do pre-record things ... All performers do have to do it at some point.” J. Lo also pointed out that Whitney Houston’s iconic rendition “Star-Spangled Banner” was pre-recorded. Check out her interview below:




Later J. Lo changed into a slightly more demure outfit, and we have to say, this is 100 times better! Sorry J. Lo, but you're not in your 20s anymore! (Then again, boyfriend Casper Smart is...)

Matt Damon Poses For Photos With Several Lucky Fans

Matt Damon beanie airport fans lax

Matt Damon landed at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday evening, and even though his latest flick isn't doing well at the box office, he was in a great mood, signing autographs and posing for photos with a handful of happy fans.

Matt will be appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live tomorrow to promote Promised Land, and we're not sure if he'll chat about how little money it's made at the box office (so far it's only earned $7,542,000 and it cost $15 million to make), but we're guessing he might address the fact that the film was financed in part by Image Nation, a company completely owned and operated by the oil-rich government of the United Arab Emirates.

The film follows a salesman for a natural gas company (Damon) who travels to a small town to try and buy out land from the locals, but he's met with quite a bit of resistance. Last month Damon was asked about the foreign-oil funding at a promotional event in New York, by Philem McAleer, who directed the pro-fracking film FrackNation. McAleer asked Damon, "How does it feel to be a fully-paid advocate for an oil-rich Middle Eastern government - and doesn't that really negate any artistic credibility that Promised Land might have?" Damon's reply? "[T]he first time we were aware that Image Nation was involved with our movie was when we saw the rough cut and saw their logo."
