Black Swan star Mila Kunis is about to tackle her next big role in Oz, the Great and Powerful, according to Entertainment Weekly. Abandoning ballet, Kunis will star alongside 127 Hours actor James Franco as Theodora, one of three witch sisters fighting against Franco, a conniving oil salesman, for a monopoly over Oz, in this Disney Wizard of Oz prequel. Variety reports that Kunis begins as a good witch but turns sour over the course of the film. Sam Raimi of Spiderman fame will direct the film in pre-production. Kunis and Franco have tag teamed roles before, appearing in Date Night for a cameo and in a Funny or Die spoof of MTV’s The Hills. Both actors have films set to be released later this year. Kunis will star in Friends with Benefits alongside Justin Timberlake which will be released this July, and Franco’s next film Your Highness, with Kunis's Black Swan co-star Natalie Portman, will be released next month.
I love the actors together, and having seen Wicked (and loving it) I’m a little excited to see what Disney will come up with.

Well, well the second batch of Teen Mom's that MTV cooked up for us sure didnt disappoint this season. When I first heard that new moms would be invading my TV every tuesday night I wasn't thrilled. I liked the originals, I liked their stories and felt weirdly attached to them as if I really knew them in life. But I'm a sucker for reality TV (especially when it involves people who make worse decisions than myself) so I tuned in and I'm glad that I did. Watching Jenelle, Chelsea, Kailyn, and Leah for the past weeks has been entertaining to say the least. Some episodes I wanted to cry with Leah (Ok, maybe I did cry), shake Chelsea for putting up with her loser bf (now ex) Adam, Hug Kailyn because her whole situation seems so hard, and slap Jenelle for being such an idiot. And it all ended with a bang (maybe thats an inappropriate word to use while writing about teen moms and accidental pregnancies) last night during the finale!
I said a few weeks ago that I was done writing about Chelsea because I just couldn't stand how she was putting Adam before eveyrone else in her life no matter how much of an ass he had been to her. But I was proud of her in this episode. She stood her ground with Adam and didnt let him get the best of her. I do think shes a good mom, you can tell she loves her daughter like crazy. And how adorable was Aubree's birthday cake? Is it possible to be jealous of a one year olds cake? If so, I am.
Kailyn is a teen mom I ended up relating to this season in a few different ways. As Kailyn was breaking up with Jo, I too was going through a breakup. And I too was living with my boyfriend at the time. So when I saw her struggling to figure out where to go from there and how to make changes in her life that were going to be for the best, I knew exactly how she felt. One complaint I do have against her though is that I cannot stand the way her and Jo swear in front of their baby. Kailyn telling Isaac his daddy is an asshole and Jo saying back that no his mom is a bitch is just not okay. They need to watch that back and see how dumb they really look and maybe they can break that bad habit.
Jenelle, ugh, I almost can't even write about her because she sort of disgusts me. In the finale we see that Jenelle (along with loser bf Kiefer) get arrested for breaking and entering. I mean really, how stupid can you be? You knew you werent allowed to be there yet you made yourself right at home. Then to make matters worse Jenelle somehow thinks its a good idea to bail Kiefer out of jail even after telling her mom she wants to start making better choices. I could barely watch that scene because cleary she hasn't changed (TMZ video of her beating on a girl anyone?). If these teen moms come back for another season I think MTV should seriously consider dropping her from the cast.
Leah, my favorite teen mom this season was adorable to watch in the finale. The moment we have all been waiting for, her and Corey finally tied the knot! At a place called Coonskin Park to be exact, with the boys decked out in camoflauge vests. Really that doesn't surprise me in the least and I was surprised how cute the wedding was considering the hick-like circumstances. Leah made a gorgeous bride and she was glowing the whole time which was so sweet to watch. The two seem genuinely happy together and I really hope it lasts.
But the teen mom fun doesn't end there. Next week is the reunion special with Dr.Drew (I cannot wait to hear him dig into Jenelle) and a new season of 16 and Pregnant will be following close behind. And don't forget that the original moms will be back as well this summer with an all new season! Yay for unplanned pregnancies that entertain me to no end!

According to MTVNews, on Tuesday following his interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts, Chris Brown went back to his dressing room and threw a violent tantrum that involved breaking a window with a chair. Chris Brown was allegedly upset over the questions posed to him about his 2009 incident of domestic violence with singer Rihanna.
At the interview Chris Brown told Roberts, “It's not really a big deal to me now. ... I think I'm past that in my life and today's the album day," trying to change the focus of the interview and promote discussion of his new album F.A.M.E.
MTVNews reported that following the interview Brown put up a tweet reading “All my fans!!! This album is for you and only you!!! I'm so tired of everyone else!! Honestly!! I love team breezy!! Thank you to everyone who supports my music!!! Key Word ( music) !!! Love y'all.”
Chris Brown has since apologized for his actions and told BET that the “talking points” outlined for the interview were disregarded, which caused him to become confused and upset.
"I didn't physically hurt anyone, I didn't try to hurt anyone, I just wanted to release the anger that I had inside me because I felt that I worked so hard for this music and ... I felt like people kept just trying to take it away from me. So yes, I got very emotional, and I wanna apologize for acting like that." Brown said.
Good Morning America reportedly invited Chris Brown to appear on the show again. “I wish him the absolute best,” Roberts said on Good Morning America, Wednesday morning.
Chris Brown’s new cd F.A.M.E, set to debut next week, is still set to take the top spot on the charts despite his actions this week, according to Billboard.

Tired of seeing the same old clothes in your closet everyday? Who isn't? Well, lets change that! Every girl needs a new shirt or dress to spice up the day and sometimes going out and buying those new clothes, isn't always an option. So, swap clothes! I stole this "swap" idea from Giuliana Rancic on her and her hubby's television show (Giuliana & Bill) and thought it would be something new and exciting to try! She of course went out and bought new clothes to trade with her friends and that kind of defeats the purpose a little ; ) Instead just make a girls night at your place, your friends place or any place and bring some of your clothes, washed and clean of course to trade with the clothes your friends bring! You don't even have to make it a forever swap, maybe it's just temporary so you can try out something new! Well, new to you! Plus with all the girls and clothing together you can even make a fashion show out of it and have some fun! All you need is your friends, some of your clothes and probably chocolate, and you've got one fun, fashion filled night! Plus, it's a big money saver and who doesn't love that?!

Looks like were traveling back to the 70's this year! Worried? Don't be! This is a style I can't wait to try! Looks like I will be saying goodbye to my skinny jeans and hello to "bell bottoms"! Fit and flare denim is in and skinny is so out, for now at least. It's as easy as grabbing a pair of flare and a fitted tee and walking out the door! Even though bell bottoms are what I think of when I think 70's, well besides peace signs and smiley faces, it's not the only fashion change this spring. Fuller and longer skirts and dresses will also be added to your closet. I'm short, so when I think of longer dresses I picture myself being swallowed, but that's where heels come in. Wedged heels on your feet and a belt around your waist, you'll look like Jackie (Mila Kunis) from That 70's Show, and that's a good thing! Last but not least.... the jumpsuit! I will admit that this scared me a little bit, I'm not sure if I could pull it off. It never hurts to try though. The jumpsuit is an easy outfit because it's a shirt and bottoms all in one! When your in a hurry or just love jumpsuits you can throw it on and add some jewelry, oh and shoes and your ready to go! Quick and easy fashion is always the way to go! So, take your closest back in time this Spring! You'll be happy you did!
