A racy dress for a racy flick!
Dakota Johnson dared to go braless in a blush Valentino gown at the Fifty Shades Darker premiere last night in LA, and if she wanted to get a lot of attention for the movie, this is certainly a way to do it!
The actress clearly has no problem with nudity, as her character is the submissive in an S&M relationship, but she recently admitted that filming those intimate scenes was a lot easier because of her comfort with co-star Jamie Dornan.
"Nudity is really interesting for an actor. Jamie and I worked so incredibly closely for so long. There were no inhibitions, and it was very honest, very trusting. But I mean, what a gamble! What if he had turned out to be a total d**k? There's no make-up. There are no clothes to tell you a bit about the story. There's no jewellery to give you a clue about social status. So it becomes purely about the performance," she explained to Vogue.
"[Filming the sex scenes] was definitely not as petrifying as the first time. It never gets [easy], but because we've become so close it was a lot easier to make [the scenes] special," she added to ET.
She's pretty darn convincing as Anastasia Steele, we'll say that!

After President Trump took time out of the National Prayer Breakfast to tell the world that Arnold Schwarzenegger's job as his replacement on The Apprentice has been a dismal failure, the Terminator struck back! We caught up with the former California governor after he had a lunch meeting in Beverly Hills, on Thursday, and when Arnie left chopping on a cigar and with a very determined stride, he certainly looked like he meant business!
Schwarzenegger's video response to Trump's criticism caused shockwaves on the internet, with fans overwhelmingly supporting the Austrian-born actor/politician when he suggested he trade jobs with the President: "Hey Donald, I have a great idea. Why don't we switch jobs? You take over TV because you're such an expert in ratings, and I take over your job. And then, people can finally sleep comfortably again. Hmm?"
Trump had said, "They hired a big, big movie star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, to take my place. And we know how that turned out. The ratings went right down the tubes."
And we hired a real estate dude to run the country, and the nation went right down the tubes ...

Blac Chyna stripped down in honor of Black History Month -- or, as Trump calls it, African-American History Month. We're not sure why looking at Chyna's T&A in body paint is a way to celebrate this history, but ...
Ms. Rob Kardashian posted these snaps on her Instagram account, with the caption: "In celebration of Black History Month, I wanted to push out my inner Queen, express my ethnicity and beauty unapologetically!" And with the single words, one on each pic - "Queen. History. Bold."

Dang, girl! Politically-active comedienne Amy Schumer showed us just how passionate she is about keeping President Donald Trump's cabinet nominees in check, by writing up some signs to show to the paparazzi as she left her sushi lunch in Beverly Hills. The signs oppose Trump's nominee for Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos. Schumer implores fans to "Call Your Senator To Oppose" and offers US Capital's switchboard number to help activists get started.
In case you didn't know, Schumer comes from a political pedigree -- her cousin is New York Democrat, Senator Chuck Schumer. She's supported the Senator's policy on gun control and his fight against Trump's recent anti-immigration mandate. She also attended the Women's March in Washington, D.C. and spoke to the crowd there. She Tweeted, the day after Trump's inauguration, "Trump is about to bombard us with so many awful decisions. We need people alert and fighting for each other's rights. Call congress. Call the senate. We need to wake up and rise up together."

We were wondering when she was going to weigh in on this!
Angelina Jolie has been a special envoy for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees since 2001, so to say she's well-informed would be an understatement, and the actress is outraged by President Trump's recent immigration ban.
"Refugees are men, women and children caught in the fury of war, or the cross hairs of persecution. Far from being terrorists, they are often the victims of terrorism themselves. Americans have shed blood to defend the idea that human rights transcend culture, geography, ethnicity and religion. The decision to suspend the resettlement of refugees to the United States and deny entry to citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries has been met with shock by our friends around the world precisely because of this record," she wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times.
While the Oscar winner agrees that the safety of our nation is important, she doesn't believe that the current administration's executive order is the solution. "Our response must be measured and should be based on facts, not fear," she fumed.
The issue hits close to home, as all of her kids were born outside the United States.
"As the mother of six children, who were all born in foreign lands and are proud American citizens, I very much want our country to be safe for them, and all our nation’s children. But I also want to know that refugee children who qualify for asylum will always have a chance to plead their case to a compassionate America. And that we can manage our security without writing off citizens of entire countries — even babies — as unsafe to visit our country by virtue of geography or religion. It is simply not true that our borders are overrun or that refugees are admitted to the United States without close scrutiny," she concluded.

Rumer Willis partied at the grand opening of FISHBOWL at the Dream Manhattan Wednesday evening and the internet is buzzing with rumors of Rumer's lips being plumped!
The 28-year-old actress-singer, daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, has certainly got her makeup game on point, with winged eyeliner, perfect skin and a magnificently-plucked brow, Rumer certainly knows what she's doing. Which calls to question the noticeably puffier pout ... injections? Has the wealthy star been giving some of her money to the Kardashian's magician Dr. Ourian of Epione in Beverly Hills? Kinda looks like it!

She's one proud auntie!
Even though they're not actually related, Kelly Rowland and Beyonce consider each other "sisters," so when we caught up with the Destiny's Child member at LAX, she couldn't hide her joy over Bey's pregnancy announcement! Even though she had lost her voice, KR gave us a peace sign, a thumbs up, a fist pound... basically everything she could to convey her excitement.
The "Lemonade" songstress is expecting twins, and sources are already tattling about their genders.
"Beyonce and Jay Z chose one female and one male embryo. Beyonce had a really hard time conceiving on her own, so it was an easy decision for them to choose the IVF route," an insider dished to Radar. "Beyonce knows that the world is in such dire straits right now and she is hoping that this gives her fans some hope and brightens their day," the source added.
Donald Trump got elected President, but Queen B has buns in the oven, so it's not the worst year in history.
Not too much commentary needed here -- Moby found it, posted it, Miley reposted the meme of President Donald Trump nude on a wrecking ball made out of presidential Chief Strategist Steve Bannon's head.
Meanwhile ... Time magazine features the former Breitbart News exec on its cover this week labeled as "The Great Manipulator." 'Nuff said.
