Lingerie model Kate Upton has a small role in the upcoming Three Stooges remake movie as a sexy nun named Sister Bernice. This is one of her costumes. Considering the cast also includes Sean Hayes, Jane Lynch, Stephen “Reverend Camden” Collins, and my spirit animal JWOWW, this movie has potential to be a pure camp classic. Read more
Move over The Exorcist and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, there’s a new get-the-devil-out-of-here movie in line. The Devil Inside is about an Italian woman on a mission to discover what happened to her mother, who allegedly killed three people when she was being exorcised. Read more
Jared Leto, who will always always always be Jordan Catalano to this child of the 90s, has mostly given up acting to be a rock star in his band 30 Seconds to Mars. 30STM, as they’re known, has developed a hugely loyal fan base. In a New York magazine profile, Leto says “People form bonds at a church, at a bar, at work. It happens in Scientology, it happen in Catholicism, and it happens with us.” Read more

Well, sort of. It’s Scott “Patrick Bateman” Disick, boyfriend of Kourtney Kardashian and dad to Mason. On last night’s episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, he decided that he wanted to reconnect with his Jewish upbringing and teach his son about the religion.

The brilliant Louis CK recently did an AMA on Reddit.com (Ask Me Anything, where the subject fields questions from commenters). AMAs are known for being lively and much more interesting than the average fluffy celebrity interview, and Louis didn’t hold back with his answers. When asked if he believed in God, he wrote: well i don’t “Believe in god” i have zero idea how everythign [sic] got here. I would personally say that, if i had to make a list... Read more
