This is truly truly truly outrageous. The second I heard a live-action version of the classic 1980s cartoon, Jem and the Holograms, was in the works, I squealed like a teenage girl. The closeted boy that I was, loved watching the show as a kid. Jon M. Chu (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) and producers Scooter Braun and Jason Blum are the men bringing the project to life. Hollywood Reporter exclusively revealed the actresses playing the four main parts.

Landing the coveted role of Jem is Aubrey Peeples. You might recognize the 20-year-old actress if you watch Nashville. She plays Layla Grant on the ABC drama. For those unfamiliar with the story, Jem is the rock-star alter-ego of teenage orphan Jerrica Benton. Find out who have been cast as the Holograms below.

I’ve been on a tear lately looking for swimsuits. A bunch of us are heading to Mexico for a destination wedding and naturally a fashionable array of trunks are in order. I wish I would’ve seen this ad campaign prior to purchasing the ones I selected.

To be perfectly honest, anything on Tyson Ballou I’d be tempted to buy. Dude looks great in everything. It’s no wonder he’s one of the top money-making male models around. Check out his latest gig, splashing around to show off Calzedonia’s 2014 swimwear collection.

He’s still got his trademark red shoes but Ronald McDonald recently received a makeover. Albeit not a drastic one, but a new look nonetheless. Begone tacky unflattering yellow jumpsuit ;) For me, he still looks as creepy as ever.

Why the new look? Prep yourself for an onslaught of selfies from the redheaded spokesperson. McDonald’s stated its famous clown will take an active role on social media for the first time, using the hashtag #ronaldmcdonald. The company says Ronald McDonald won’t have his own Twitter handle, but that it will post photos and videos of him on its existing social media accounts.

It’s a turnaround from recent years where the company slowly faded Ronald to the background under criticism for using him to market to children. With declining sales, the fast food giant is hoping a higher profile for Ronald will boost weak numbers. Check out his new two-piece look below.

Just like Lady Gaga’s “G.U.Y.” video, Katy Perry’s latest clip is also eight minutes long with credits taking up a good chunk in the end. I hope this isn’t a new trend that every artist is going to jump on. Please God NO!!!

Earlier this week, the 29-year-old singer released a video teaser featuring five alter egos: Goldie The Dancer; Ace The Animal Trainer; Mandee; Kriss The Clown and Yosef Shulem. The latter character slightly offended some members of the Jewish community. The disguises now all makes sense.

Perry went undercover as one of those characters and crashed five different birthday parties. The clip claims no one knew it was her, but I’m not quite sure if I buy it. Check out her “Birthday” video below and judge for yourself.

Madonna infamously portrayed the titular character in the 1996 musical Evita. Now it’s Christina Aguilera’s turn.

The Voice judge will take on the iconic role for a new revolutionary film titled Broadway 4D. The film will featured several high-profile names performing iconic tunes from classic Broadway musicals. It’s slated to hit theaters sometime next year. The 33-year-old will perform Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” for the project. Find out who else is involved below.

Who run the world? Not just any girl but Beyonce. The 32-year-old entertainer graces the cover of Time magazine’s annual 100 Most Influential People issue. The publication placed her in their ‘Titans‘ category in the issue. As in past years, each Most Influential pick is accompanied by a short essay by an equally prominent admirer. Her friend, Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and founder of LeanIn.org, penned a tribute to Queen Bey. Here’s an excerpt below.

In the past year, Beyoncé has sold out the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour while being a full-time mother. Her secret: hard work, honesty and authenticity. And her answer to the question, What would you do if you weren’t afraid? appears to be “Watch me. I’m about to do it.” Then she adds, “You can, too.” – Sheryl Sandberg

Also under the Titan heading are Pharrell and Hillary Clinton with an essays by Justin Timberlake and Malala Yousafzai respectively. Other notable names to make the prestigious cut include Serena Williams, Jason Collins praised by Chelsea Clinton, Benedict Cumberbatch by Colin Firth, Kerry Washington, Seth Myers described by Amy Poehler, Amy Adams written by Emily Blunt, Miley Cyrus noted by Dolly Parton and more.

Once again, Meg Ryan is playing a character named Sally. As any rom-com viewer knows, the 52-year-old famously played the titular lead in the classic When Harry Met Sally.

This time around, Ryan will voice the “future Sally” in the potential CBS sitcom, How I Met Your Dad. Greta Gerwig will play the present-day Sally. Much like Bob Saget in How I Met Your Mother, Meg will narrate the show and never be seen on the spinoff.

If the network picks up the series, CBS might not be the only place you can catch Ryan this Fall. She’s executive producing and starring in an untitled show for NBC. That series’ premise finds her as a single mother returning to a New York publishing house where she was once a top editor. Since she’s left, her former intern is now her boss. The show will follow Ryan’s character as she tries to balance her neurotic new boss with her teenaged kids, her soon-to-be ex-husband and his overbearing mother.

Do you think CBS was wise to cast Ryan in the narrator role? If not, who do you think should’ve snagged the role? Sound off below.

Jodie Foster publicly came out as lesbian at the 2013 Golden Globes. She did so in grand fashion while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award by sorta confirming what many suspected (and knew) for years. “I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago back in the Stone Age,” she addressed the crowd.

Keeping in line with her history of keeping things private, the Oscar winner tied the knot quietly over the weekend with photographer girlfriend Alexandra Hedison. The duo began dating about a year ago. Hedison previously dated Ellen DeGeneres for three years before breaking up in 2004. Alexandra also has several acting credits including appearing on Showtime’s lesbian series, The L Word.

Foster and her partner Cydney Bernard called it quits after 20 years together back in 2008. The two are co-parents to two sons, Charles and Kit. Congrats to the happy newlyweds.
