Ke$ha's Mom Enters Same Rehab Facility as Her Daughter

Ke$ha isn't the only one in her family seeking treatment. The singer's mother, Pebe Sebert, is entering the same Chicago-area rehab center as her daughter, Sebert confirms to People. "I'm checking myself into Timberline Knolls today for post-traumatic stress disorder, at Ke$ha's urging," the 57-year-old said in a statement to the magazine. This news comes on the heels of Sebert speaking out against her daughter's advisers and blaming them for the 26-year-old's eating disorder. Sebert claimed earlier this week that the pop star was under enormous amounts of pressure to lose weight from people in her camp, including her producer Dr. Luke. "Dr. Luke had »

FAST and FURIOUS 7 Release Date Pushed Back To April 2015

Universal Pictures temporarily stopped production of Fast and Furious 7 after the death of Paul Walker in November and while there has been speculations concerning how the movie will go on with out one of it’s lead actors, the studio has decided to push back the release date and have more time.

Vin Diesel in a post on Facebook announced this News about the change from it’s original July 11th 2014 release date to a new one which is almost a year after- April 10th 2015.

Diesel also put up this picture of the last scene which he and the late Paul Walker filmed with the comment “There was a unique sense of completion, of pride we shared… in the film we were now completing… the magic captured… and, in just how far we’ve come… ”

“The last scene we filmed together” – Vin Diesel

'I've earned the right to be me': Beyoncé opens up about being vulnerable and stripping off for her sexy song Rocket

Beyoncé's been in show business almost her entire life – starting out at nine and putting out her first album as a part of Destiny’s Child at age 15. 

She always felt she could not quite venture out on a limb and express the full breadth of her soul – so mindful of her audiences. 

‘Now I'm in my 30s, and those children that grew up listening to me have grown up, and I always felt like it was my responsibility to be aware of kids and their parents and all these generations,’ the 32-year-old singer says in the fifth installment of her documentary, entitled Self-Titled Part 5. Honesty.

‘And I felt like, in a sense, I could not express everything. I've done so many things in my life, in my career, that I feel like at this point I've earned the right to be me and to express any and every side of myself.’

Thus in her latest album, ‘The glue that ties this record together is honesty,’ the Crazy in Love singer, who wears a simple white T-shirt and denim shorts, states at the beginning of the video. 

Her rawness and passion shine through in clips from her black and white video for Rocket, featuring a lingerie clad Beyoncé lying down, then standing tall at the edge of her bed, relaxing by a kitchen sink, and then lying atop a car, lighting up a cigarette.

What I love about this song is, it takes you through this journey,' she says, as clips of the racy video are shown. ‘You're flirting and you're talking all of your arrogant s***. Then you climax, and then you have your cigarette.’

But it’s got a deeper meaning for her. 

‘This song actually is about singing from the heart, and harmonies and adlibs and arrangement,’ Beyoncé says. 

The Houston native relished the collaborative process that her latest album entailed.

‘How willing all these incredible artists were to write together,’ she says, as the featurette cuts to her working at the piano.

The Single Ladies singer’s vulnerability has definitely paid off – selling 1.3 million copies of her latest self-titled album in its first 17 days of release in the United States and remaining at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for the third week in a row, according to Billboard. 

Beyoncé is the first album by a woman to notch three weeks at number one since Taylor Swift’s Red claimed seven weeks at the top (non-consecutively) in late 2012 and early 2013.

It is the first album since 2009 to sell more than 300,000 copies in each of its first three weeks. 

‘I don't think I would've done it, you know, back then,' Beyoncé says of putting out such a personal project. 

‘I don't think I would've been confident enough. I would've been too afraid of what other people thought, but I kinda dropped that fourth wall and I did it.

‘I feel like I'm having to tap into a lot of my life experiences to pull inspiration,' Jay Z's other half continues, ‘and I feel like I'm opening up a lot in these videos and showing a lot of sides to me that only a few people have ever seen.

She’s finally letting the world get a feel for the all the dimensions of who she is. 

‘At the end of the day, I think all of us want happiness and joy and we want to be able to be ourselves and our best selves,’ Beyoncé says.

‘And sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. Sometimes you have to take the insecurities to get to the secure place. And all of those things I feel happy to express and share.

PGA Awards Unveils Film, Longform TV Nominations

The awards will be handed out Jan. 19 at the Beverly Hilton.

The PGA unveiled on Thursday its film and longform TV nominees for its 2014 ceremony

Ten feature films -- ranging alphabetically from American Hustleto The Wolf of Wall Street -- have been nominated by the Producers Guild of America for its Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures. The other nominees are Blue Jasmine, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club,Gravity, Her, Nebraska, Saving Mr. Banks and 12 Years a Slave.

The PGA noms are considered indicators of which films have momentum heading into the Academy Award nominations, announced Jan. 16. The Academy also follows the PGA's lead in deciding which specific producers to nominate in the best picture category, since the PGA vets the producers listed for each film to determine which individuals should be recognized.

Annapurna Pictures' Megan Ellison stood out on the list of nominees since she was credited on two films -- director David O. Russell's Hustle, where she was nominated along with Jon Gordon, Charles Roven and Richard Suckle, and Spike Jonze's Her, where she was nominated with Jonze and Vincent Landay.

Brad Pitt earned his second PGA nom for 12 Years -- he also was nominated in 2012 for Moneyball. Also nominated for 12 Years were Anthony Katagas, Jeremy Kleiner, director Steve McQueenand Dede Gardner. But the PGA did not include two of the movie's other credited producers, who provided financing for the film -- New Regency's Arnon Milchan and River Road Entertainment'sBill Pohlad.

While Wolf secured a nomination, the PGA did not name director Martin Scorsese and the movie's star Leonardo DiCaprio among the producers nominated for the honor. Instead, it cited their fellow producers on the film Riza Aziz, Emma Koskoff and Joey McFarland.

Michael De Luca, who co-chairs the PGA Awards with Lori McCreary, also was among the nominees, acknowledged for his work on Captain Phillips alongside Dana Brunetti and Scott Rudin.

A number of high-profile titles were left off the list completely in what has turned out to be a very competitive year. They included Lee Daniels' The Butler, August: Osage County, Inside Llewyn Davis, All Is Lost and Rush.

Turning to animated features, PGA noms were handed out to such major studio entries as DreamWorks Animation's The Croods, which was distributed by Fox; Universal and Illumination Entertainment'sDespicable Me 2; Fox and Blue Sky Studios' Epic; Disney's Frozen; and Pixar's Monsters University, which was distributed by Disney.

HBO had the best showing for the longform TV nominees with the Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra and Phil Spector, starring Al Pacino in the title role, earning PGA noms for Candelabra'sSusan Ekins, Gregory Jacobs, Michael Polaire and Jerry Weintraub and Spector's Michael Hausman and Barry Levinson. The other nominees are Jane Campion's moody mystery Top of the Lake (Sundance Channel), Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's American Horror Story: Asylumand National Geographic Channel's Killing Kennedy.

The nominees closely mirror last year's Emmy and recently announced Golden Globe nominees. The Emmys gave noms to four of the five PGA-nominated projects. Only Killing Kennedy did not receive an Emmy nom in the category. Candelabra was the big Emmy winner in the category, taking home the statue for outstanding TV movie as well as lead actor for Michael Douglas. Candelabra also has racked up several Golden Globe nominations for best television movie as well as lead actor and supporting actor (Matt Damon). The Globes, which will be handed out Jan. 12 by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, also gave nominations to Starz miniseries The White Queen and Dancing on the Edge, neither of which earned PGA noms.

This year, the Producers Guild will also present special honors to Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson (David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures), Robert Iger(Milestone Award), Peter Jackson and Joe Letteri (Vanguard Award), Chuck Lorre (Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television), Chris Meledandri (Visionary Award) and Fruitvale Station(Stanley Kramer Award).

As previously announced, the TV nominees include Arrested Development, Breaking Bad, Homelandand the final season of 30 Rock. Alex Gibney's We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks is among the best documentary nominees, which were announced in November.

The awards will be handed out at the 25th annual PGA Awards, which are set for Jan. 19 at the Beverly Hilton.

Inside the Palm Springs Gala: Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts Charm Crowd of Thousands

The film festival event honored a slew of Hollywood stars including Sandra Bullock, Matthew McConaughey, Bruce Dern and U2 on Saturday.

Hollywood invaded sunny Palm Springs on Saturday for the 25th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival's star-studded awards gala.

Considered a major stop on the awards circuit, the festival honored a slew of contenders including Thomas Newman,Lupita Nyong’o, Sandra Bullock, Bruce Dern, Tom Hanks, Matthew McConaughey, Steve McQueen, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep and the cast of American Hustle. For the first time, a musical act -- U2 -- was also honored with theSonny Bono Visionary Award.

More than 2,100 attendees packed the Palm Springs Convention Center for the event, which featured plenty of standing ovations as the A-list stars were honored, often introduced by a co-star or close actor friend.

Streep received the Icon Award, which had only been given out one other time -- to Michael Douglas in 2011.

"I feel like I'm an example now in my dotage that you can't put those old gals out to pasture -- we've got a lot to say," the August: Osage County actress said, getting a hearty laugh from the crowd.

Streep's co-star from August: Osage County Roberts was also honored earlier in the night, receiving the Spotlight Award. She credited her cast and crew for her success over the years and in her latest film: "I learned in high school ... It is a scientific fact that all birds fly finer and faster in formation than any bird that flies alone."

Roberts did double-duty by also presenting an award to Hanks, who was honored with the Chairman's Award.

The actor, who starred in both Disney's Saving Mr. Banks and Sony's Captain Phillips, charmed the room with stories of working on both the contender films, as different as they were. "I think it's fascinating that so many of the films you've chosen to honor are based on a true story," he told the crowd, naming his own films, 12 Years a Slave and Dallas Buyers Club as examples.

"And if you ever start to doubt the power of what you do here," he told the crowd, "just know that tonight at table 607, the executives of the Walt Disney Company and Sony have gotten along just fine."

Also getting hearty laughs from the crowd was Bullock, who was honored for her work in Gravity. She told the crowd that she had gone on the internet and Googled herself while preparing her speech for this awards event. "Sidenote: No human being should ever read the comments section or Google oneself at any time," she joked.

Among the many comments she read were plenty about her age, and several about a supposed feud between herself and Roberts over George Clooney. "We talked about this, right? It's shared custody and we're fine with it," she said.

In the spacious convention hall -- which was adorned with red tablecloths, 18,500 roses and featured a live orchestra -- Roberts ended her acceptance speech by getting serious about the collection of strong films that debuted in 2013. "I was watching heartbreaking stories about our past that made me so proud to be in this business," she said, getting slightly emotional.

Also showing strong emotion during her acceptance speech was 12 Years a Slave star Nyong'o who told the crowd, "I'm a bit lost for words. I think I need tear duct surgery to stop crying so much." She added that the event was especially meaningful because her younger brother was in the audience.

12 Years a Slave director McQueen was also honored with the director of the year award, introduced by his star Chiwetel Ejiofor. "What's been most important about the cast and crew is that we made this film out of love," McQueen said.

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom stars Idris Elba and Naomie Harris were both on-hand to introduce U2, who received the award that had previously only been given to directors. The band's song -- "Ordinary Love" -- is dedicated to the late Nelson Mandela and featured on the film's soundtrack.

Bono gave an impassioned speech about the work that is being done as part of the campaign against AIDS in Africa, calling Mandela a leader in that movement.

"Our one simple belief is that where you live should not decide whether you live," he said, adding: "We are within reach of declaring the first AIDS-free generation."

The Palm Springs International Film Festival runs Jan. 3-13 in Palm Springs, Calif.
