Jake Gyllenhaal attended the Los Angeles premiere of End Of Watch last night, and the 31-year-old actor spent quite a bit of time greeting fans before working it on the red carpet. Loves him!

Jake reportedly grew out this beard for his upcoming flick The Enemy, and even though the film wrapped production in July, he has yet to shave it. If you like a clean cut Jakey G, definitely check out End Of Watch -- not only does he shave his face in the cop drama, but he goes totally bald for the role of Officer Brian Taylor.

Alexis Bellino Not Returning To Real Housewives Of Orange County

RHOOC star Alexis Bellino is leaving the Bravo reality show after a three season run, a source revealed to Us Weekly.

"Alexis was really tired of being bullied and chose home and family life over celebrity," the source divulged. Apparently the blonde bombshell had already begun negotiations with the network for the upcoming season, but she ultimately "wanted to go back to her simple life in Orange County."

Last season was especially traumatic for the religious mother-of-three, as she fought repeated attacks on her character by co-stars Tamra Barney and former BFF Gretchen Rossi. The 35-year-old and her husband Jim Bellino were even forced to issue a statement in their defense after being labeled "phonies" by the cast.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County is a reality show that is meant to entertain and engage audiences with the lives of its cast members. This vicious and malicious attack on our family will no longer be tolerated. We have continually tried to take the high road, however, if necessary, we are prepared to defend ourselves against these unfounded, slanderous and defamatory remarks to the fullest extent of the law," the couple said at the time.

Although Bellino is supposedly set on her decision to leave the show, a Bravo rep told Us no official decision has been made. "We have not yet made any announcements about a season 8 pick up or casting."

The remaining brigade of blondes are going to need to find another punching bag!

The Church Of Scientology Fights Back Against Vanity Fair Over "Disgraceful" And "Defamatory" Cover Story

Posted on Tue Sep 18th, 2012 10:50am PDT       By X17 Staff

vanity-fair-scientology-230.jpgThe Church of Scientology has fired back against Vanity Fair for the cover story they published this month, which goes into dirty details about the religion and Tom Cruise's alleged auditions for a new partner.

Journalist Maureen Orth claims that Shelly Miscavige, wife of Scientology chief David Miscavige, and other Scientology officials auditioned dozen of young women for Cruise prior to his marriage to Katie Holmes, among them being Nazanin Boniadi. The article goes into details about Cruise and Boniadi's odd courtship, including how the actress was punished for violating her confidentiality agreement with the star after they split.

Attorney Jeffrey K. Riffer posted a scathing 8-page letter on the Church Of Scientology's website, slamming Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter and Orth, labeling her as "a bigot." The lengthy rant also contains threats of legal action, with Riffer writing, "The disgraceful allegations Vanity Fair apparently plan to publish about Mr. Miscavige are defamatory. If Vanity Fair goes forward with publication of such defamatory allegations, now that it is on notice that the story is false, the stain on its reputation will last long after any reader even remembers the article. The sting of the jury verdict will last longer still; far longer than any pleasure from racing to publish a poorly researched and sourced story."

"Scientology is a new religion and its beliefs not as well known as those of more ancient history," Riffer continues. "That does not excuse you or Ms. Orth for being ignorant. Rather, it demands you be even more sensitive to finding out what the true beliefs are of Scientology -- which can only be told by the religion itself. Just because you don't think you are bigoted doesn't mean you aren't. Bigotry and ignorance go hand in hand and you are definitely and willfully ignorant of the actual beliefs of Scientology and the activities of its Churches."

In response to the letter, Vanity Fair said in a statement to CNN, "We absolutely stand by Maureen Orth's story. Vanity Fair has never paid sources and never would."

Shakira And Usher To Replace Christina Aguilera And Cee Lo On The Voice

Posted on Tue Sep 18th, 2012 9:45am PDT       By X17 Staff

ushershakira460.jpg The Voice is getting a makeover!

Shakira and Usher will replace Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green as coaches for season four of the hit singing competition, the network announced Monday.

"We are thrilled to welcome Usher and Shakira to The Voice. The addition of these popular iconic artists continues the tradition established by Christina, Cee Lo, Adam, and Blake," NBC Chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement.

Xtina is leaving the show to focus on promoting her new Lotus album, while Cee Lo will be working on new music and development of a scripted comedy series. Not that they won't be returning! Both coaches are expected back for season five after they fulfill their other commitments.

"As I have expressed since day one of the show, that I am a singer and performer first and I am so excited to get back to that love. Since this year NBC and The Voice have decided to tape back-to-back seasons, requiring a full-year commitment, it is important for me to take season four off, allowing me to support my music that my fans have been waiting for - with the release of my new album Lotus on November 13. By pursuing my first passion of music during the break, I am also able to come back and offer even more to my team on The Voice in the future," Aguilera said in the release.

Cee Lo also expressed his love for the show and explained what he will be doing during the hiatus.

"First... thank you NBC for supporting my decision to take this season four hiatus! It says that I'm seen and respected as a complete artist and not just a cast member. I'm highly enthusiastic about focusing my undivided attention on my additional endeavors and interests like my upcoming solo album, new Goodie Mob album, Las Vegas residency Loberace, new memoir, and new NBC comedy," Green added.

The coach swap might be friendly, but the rival show competition isn't! Squaring off against The Voice is Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey on Idol and Demi Lovato and Britney Spears on X-Factor.

We have a feeling Usher's protege Justin Bieber might be stopping by the set to offer his insight as a guest coach!
