Ryan Gosling Confesses Confusion About 'Hey Girl' Meme at SXSW: 'I Never Actually Said It' Ryan Gosling and Guillermo Del Toro spoke on a panel at South by Southwest on Friday to discuss Gosling's directorial debut, Lost River.

" Gosling laughed and covered his face with his hands, dropping the mic and joking that he was "done. " Gosling also discussed his new movie, which he directed and wrote. He said directing is an exercise in authenticity. "You try and make things that everyone's going to like, " he said in a video captured by the Austin American-Statesman. "You feel foolish, in the end, to pretend to know what that is. Only you know what you like and want to see. And it's the only thing, I think, if you're going to direct a film, because you have to make thousands of decisions every day. The only place you can come from is what you gravitate towards and what works for you. " Gosling and actress Eva Mendes, who stars in Lost River, recently welcomed a baby girl, who they named Esmerelda Amada.

Kim Cattrall Disses 'Fifty Shades' Star Jamie Dornan: 'He Doesn't Look Like a Man to Me' There's one glaring reason Kim Cattrall has no intention of seeing the record-breaking Fifty Shades of Grey. She doesn't find former Calvin Klein underwear model Jamie Dornan, who plays the super-hot S&M-loving billionaire Christian Grey in the film, attractive. At all. "Maybe it's my age, but he doesn't look like a man to me, " the former Sex and the City star, 58, tells The Independent bluntly. "He looks like a young boy. I like men to look like men. I saw the preview and you know they say in three seconds you can tell if you find someone attractive or not? Well, I just thought, 'No.' " PHOTOS: Calvin Klein's Hottest Celebrity Models Though perhaps if the film had allowed the 32-year-old Dornan keep his scruff, she might have changed her mind! Dornan himself addressed his boyish looks in a recent interview with Glamour for their March 2015 issue, when he admitted to some insecurities about looking "aggressively young. " "From when I was 12 to when I was 27, I looked aggressively young for my age. I hated it, " he said. "I think that’s why I love having a beard -- it's some kind of proof that you're a man. " VIDEO: Rumors Suggest Jamie Dornan Won't Return to 'Fifty Shades' So who does Cattrall find attractive? That would be Edge of Tomorrow star Brendan Gleeson, 59, who like Dornan, also happens to be Irish. "Now, if he were Brendan Gleeson -- well, there's a little something going on there, you know, the twinkle in the eye… " Cattrall said. VIDEO: Kim Cattrall Responds to Possible 'Sex and the City 3' By now it's well-known that Dornan was not the first pick to play the high-profile role of Christian Grey -- Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam dropped out before production began -- but did you know The Longest Ride's Scott Eastwood also took himself out of the running?

Kathy Griffin Explains Quitting 'Fashion Police': I Shouldn't Have Taken the Gig There's a "leaky boat " at Fashion Police, according to the show's former host Kathy Griffin. Just days after she announced that she's leaving the show, Griffin spoke to Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show about what really happened behind the scenes of her departure. "I've never worked on a show with so many leaks, " she told him. The 54-year-old comedian made her debut as host back in January after the late Joan Rivers' daughter, and executive producer of the show, Melissa personally asked her to take on the role her mother made so fabulous. "Melissa is the one who called and said you're the person that my mom would truly give her blessing to, " she said. WATCH: Inside Kathy Griffin's Decision to Quit Fashion Police The comedian accepted the challenge, but looking back she now admitted, "I probably shouldn't have taken the gig. " And while Joan shined on Fashion Police with her biting wit, Griffin doesn't think she should be remembered by it. "To me Fashion Police is really not Joan's legacy, " she said. "What Joan did was so much bigger than that -- The Tonight Show and writing for The Ed Sullivan Show and surviving all the ups and downs. " She further added that the show was good for her at the time, "It was cool that she did that at 81 years of age. " Once Griffin realized Fashion Police was not in-line with her brand of comedy, she reached out to someone younger than her to craft the perfect statement announcing her departure: 28-year-old Girls' creator Lena Dunham. Griffin explained that she called Dunham out of the blue. "I said would you mind helping me craft this statement? I want to say it the right way. She's such a good writer. She helped me tremendously, " Griffin revealed. NEWS: Kathy Griffin on Giuliana Rancic 'Fashion Police' Controversy: 'I Wouldn't Have Said that Zendaya Joke' "I do not want to use my comedy to contribute to a culture of unattainable perfectionism and intolerance toward difference, " the statement read. "I want to help women, gay kids, people of color and anyone who feels underrepresented to have a voice and a LAUGH!...After 7 episodes of Fashion Police, I discovered that my style does not fit with the creative direction of the show & now it's time to move on. " As for the email, made public by Buzzfeed, that Griffin sent to her friends asking them to voice their support, her reasoning behind that was simple. "I don't feel like there's a lot of support out there for female comics, " she told Stern. She will continue her tour comedy tour around the country with tickets on sale through October 9. Do you agree about female comics not getting the same amount of support? Let us know using the hashtag #ETnow. Check out the video below to see more on why Kathy Griffin quit Fashion Police.

New York school districts to stop asking about immigration status School districts in 14 New York counties have agreed to stop inquiring about the immigration status of prospective students and their guardians, the state attorney general said on Thursday.Twenty school districts had illegally asked for items including copies of Social Security cards and the disclosure of visa status in their enrollment material, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said in a statement. "Schoolhouse doors must be open to all students in our diverse state, regardless of their immigration status," Schneiderman said. "More than 30 years after the Supreme Court guaranteed a free public education for undocumented children, we must do everything we can to uphold the law and ensure equal access for all our students." Requiring the disclosure of citizenship and immigration status by students or their guardians can discourage undocumented students from enrolling, impeding their access and right to public education, Schneiderman's office said.In 1982, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution undocumented immigrant students were guaranteed under the right to a free elementary and secondary public education. The attorney general's office investigation into the affected school districts followed an October article in The New York Times that said several districts had unlawfully inquired about immigration status, the Times said. An initial New York State Education Department review of school district enrollment policies focused on four districts in the New York City metropolitan area that had recently seen an influx of unaccompanied minors from Central and South America. The attorney general's office expanded its investigation after receiving complaints about districts from around the state that were unlawfully making immigration inquiries. In addition to removing immigration-related questions from enrollment materials, the affected school districts must provide training to personnel about proper enrollment procedures.

I don't hate her, " Rose told ET's Brooke Anderson. The 31-year-old model, best known for her revealing Instagram posts, sat down with ET, where she opened up about the well-publicized feud, and tried to explain her side of the story. NEWS: Khloe Kardashian Goes Off on Amber Rose in Twitter Rant The drama began in February when Rose publicly criticized an alleged relationship between Khloe’s 17-year-old sister Kylie Jenner and 25-year-old rapper Tyga. During an interview with Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club on Feb. 13, Rose said, "That's ridiculous. [Tyga] should be ashamed of himself. For sure. He has a beautiful woman and a baby and left that for a 16-year-old who just turned 17. " Khloe took umbrage with Rose's remarks and went on a twitter rant against the model, tweeting, "'I was a stripper since I was 15 years old,' Amber Rose told Foxx. Please don't worry about my sister who has a career & her sh** together at ONLY 17, " Khloe, 30, wrote. "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. " NEWS: Amber Rose Says How She Really Feels About Kim Kardashian "I could have totally minded my own business when it came to her sister, " Rose explained.

They don't quite understand why I post what I post and how I speak on social media, " Rose said, explaining how slut shaming has hurt her and many other women. "I'm sick of it and I'm here for my girls and we're gonna do the Amber Rose Slut Walk this summer and it's gonna be awesome. " Despite all the public drama, Rose said she would "absolutely " love to work things out with Khloe. However, she didn't miss the opportunity to get one last jab saying, "[Khloe] didn't have to tweet 11 times and try to humiliate me when, the only reason why these girls have careers is because their older sister had a little fun on tape.

9 Michael Jackson Songs Made Even More Awesome by Cirque du Soleil When Cirque du Soleil turned their psychedelic sights on the music of Michael Jackson for the Immortal World Tour, they found themselves with a treasure trove of classic tunes to turn into mind-bending displays of acrobatic brilliance, jaw-dropping costumes and insane set design. Adding Cirque du Soleil's trademark style to the King of Pop's beloved classics, they were able to make a slew amazing songs even more amazing, in a performance that tells the story of the music icon's rise to fame. VIDEO: Exclusive Clip: Go Backstage with Cirque du Soleil To really get of sense of what makes the show so great, here are nine of MJ's songs that were made even more awesome by Cirque du Soleil. 1. "Thriller " It's hard to improve on one of the greatest music videos ever made, but a bunch of flying mummies dancing around in a trippy (and creepy) cemetery manages to give the original video a run for its money. 2. "They Don't Care About Us " For a song about racism, discrimination, subjugation and persecution, it's brilliantly fitting to put all the dancers into identical robot suits. And, aside from the symbolism, it looks awesome. 3. "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' " You can't ever get enough dancing tree women. That's just a Cirque du Soleil fact. 4. "Don’t Stop 'Til You Get Enough " The truth of the matter is, you can never get enough brightly colored tracksuits. 5. "This Place Hotel " Does this performance feature a flapper girl flying through the air while standing on a guy dressed up like a 1920s gangster? Yes it does. That's all any song needs to be ten times more awesome. 6. "Dancing Machine " They literally bring out a woman who is a dancing machine. It's a great visual representation of song lyrics that makes everything feel even more surreal and wonderful. 7. "Is It Scary " Even better than the visual representation in Dancing Machine, Cirque du Soleil's interpretation of Is It Scary features a creepy insect lady performing contortionist tricks on top of a giant book. So yes, it's scary. Everyone has had that nightmare no less than five time -- whether they remember it or not… 8. "Smooth Criminal " The only thing that can make Michael Jackson's legendary, gravity-defying dance moves look even cooler is by having the dancers shoot pyrotechnics out of their hands. Come on! 9. "Dangerous " Nothing says "dangerous " like hanging off a metal pole twenty feet in the air wearing only a small two-piece bikini. And she's not even holding onto the pole with her hands! Get a look at even more of these great moments in the Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soleil documentary below!

Obama warns U.S. security funding lapse would hurt economy U.S. President Barack Obama warned on Monday that a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security would suspend pay for more than 100,000 border patrol, port inspection and airport security agents."It will have a direct impact on your economy, and it will have a direct impact on America's national security because their hard work helps to keep us safe," Obama said in a speech to a meeting of state governors at the White House.Homeland Security spending authority will expire at midnight on Friday unless Congress approves new funding. While essential security personnel would still report to work, there would be no money to pay them during the funding lapse. A new $39.7 billion budget for the department is stalled in Congress over Republican-authored provisions to block any spending on Obama's recent executive orders that lift the threat of deportation from millions of undocumented immigrants.Republicans who control the U.S. Senate will try for a fourth time to advance the measure later on Monday, but it was expected to fall short again of the needed 60 votes as Democrats reject it. Even if it were to pass, Obama has threatened to veto the measure unless immigration restrictions are stripped. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said a cut-off in funding would cause most DHS headquarters employees to be furloughed, hampering the department's ability to coordinate domestic anti-terrorism activities."If our headquarters staff is cut back to a skeleton, that inhibits our ability to stay on top of a lot of the existing situations and challenges to homeland security right now," he told a news conference, adding this was "not in the public's best interest."Aides to Senate and House Republicans declined to outline lawmakers' next steps. Some moderate Republicans support removing the immigration provisions or passing a one- or two-month extension of last year's funding levels, which would buy time for a court challenge to Obama's immigration orders. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson on Monday called for an end to the impasse but did not suggest a path forward."Responsible members of both parties must work together to find some way to fund DHS without further delay," he said in a statement.A senior Senate Democratic aide said the party would likely reluctantly accept a short-term funding extension.

Shonda Rhimes Says Writing as a Child Saved Her Life While accepting the Ally for Equality Award at the Human Rights Campaign’s Los Angeles gala, Shonda Rhimes gave a powerful speech about writing and how Shondaland helped pull her out of a dark spot as a child. “There were times in my youth when writing those stories in Shondaland quite literally saved my life,” Rhimes said. “And now I get kids telling me it quite literally saves theirs. That is beyond humbling. And every single time it comes down to one thing. You are not alone. Nobody should be alone. So. I write.” NEWS: Shonda Rhimes Slams 'NYT' Article for Calling Her an 'Angry Black Woman' Before ending on that powerful note, the producer behind Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal revealed that she’s been working on these stories since she was a pre-teen. “I created friends. I named them and wrote every detail about them. I gave them stories and homes and families,” Rhimes said. “I wrote about their parties and their dates and their friendships and their lives and they were so real to me that...” Rhimes continued, adding: “You see, Shondaland, the imaginary land of Shonda, has existed since I was 11 years old. I built it in my mind as a place to hold my stories. A safe place. A space for my characters to exist, a space for me to exist. Until I could get the hell out of being a teenager and could run out into the world and be myself. Less isolated, less marginalized, less invisible in the eyes of my peers. Until I could find my people in the real world.” NEWS: Kerry Washington to Be Honored with GLAAD Vanguard Award Because she was being honored for her fight for equality, Rhimes also addressed diversity on TV, saying that she prefers the word “normalizing.” “I’m normalizing TV. I am making TV look like the world looks,” she said. "Women, people of color, LGBTQ people equal way more than 50 percent of the population. Which means it ain’t out of the ordinary. " “The goal is that everyone should get to turn on the TV and see someone who looks like them and loves like them,” Rhimes said. “And just as important, everyone should turn on the TV and see someone who doesn’t look like them and love like them. Because, perhaps then, they will learn from them. Perhaps then, they will not isolate them, marginalize them, erase them. Perhaps they will even come to recognize themselves in them. Perhaps they will even learn to love them.” Of course, Rhimes is notorious for defending her shows and the LGBT characters that populate them. Watch as she slams a Twitter user for going after the gay sex scenes. Â

The actor, who lately has become known more for his performance art than any of his actual on-screen performances, is letting fans literally listen to his heart beat live. NEWS: Shia LaBeouf Says He Was Raped During Art Event While at SXSW, the 28-year-old actor is wearing a heart monitor that is transmitting his heartbeat to the website, follow-my-heart.net.

18 Biggest Moments From Comedy Central's Incredibly Brutal Justin Bieber Roast Comedy Central taped its Roast of Justin Bieber last night at Sony Studios in Culver City, Calif. featuring roastmaster Kevin Hart, and a lineup of roasters that included Ludacris, Shaquille O'Neal, Pete Davidson, Natasha Leggero, Jeff Ross, Chris D'Elia, Will Ferrell, Snoop Dogg, and, for some reason, Martha Stewart. NEWS: Justin Bieber Shamelessly Begs Seth Rogen To Join Comedy Central Roast With all of 21-year-old Justin's antics and mishaps, the roasters had more fodder for this roast than maybe ever. And we knew they wouldn't go easy on him, but damn! Here are all the biggest moments you can look forward to on the telecast, as well as some moments you probably definitely can't. 1. Kevin Hart pulled no punches. "Tonight, we are gonna do what [Justin's] parents and the legal system should have done a long time ago, said Kevin. "Give this boy an ass-whuppin' he deserves. " The mega-successful comedian was the roastmaster of the night, and despite his reputation as a pretty nice guy, he set the tone by "going there " early and often. "Selena Gomez couldn't be here, " joked Kevin. "Just because she didn't want to be here. " Ouch! 2. There were A LOT of Bill Cosby Jokes. Besides Bieber, this was probably the favorite topic among the roasters, and one roaster-in-attendance was Hannibal Buress, the comedian whose stand-up set brought old allegations against Cosby to light, causing many more women to come forward. Snoop Dogg remarked that Buress is "the only Bill Cosby accuser making money off of him. " NEWS: Bill Cosby's Accusers: A Timeline of Alleged Sexual Assault Claims So yeah, it was that kind of roast. 3. A lot of Bruce Jenner jokes as well. Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian were in the audience to bear the brunt of these jokes surrounding Bruce Jenner's rumored transition as well as all of the reports about his gender expression. Comedian Jeff Ross was as controversial as ever when he suggested Khloe was the only "man in the family. "  WATCH: Khloe Kardashian Shares Super Skinny Selfie: 'People Love to Call Me the Fat One' 4. Will Ferrell made a surprise appearance as Ron Burgundy. We didn't get the Selena Gomez or the Seth Rogen we wanted, but Will Ferrell did show up as Ron Burgundy, Scotch in hand to deliver a stirring defense of Justin Bieber. NEWS: Justin Bieber's New Music is Allegedly About Selena Gomez -- Listen! The best moment from this by far was when Ferrell lampooned Justin Bieber's highly publicized peeing in a mop bucket followed by defacing a picture of former President Bill Clinton and saying "F**k Bill Clinton! " to which Ferrell replied, "there isn't a person in this room who hasn't done that! " Everybody cry-laughed. It was amazing. 5. Justin brought out his monkey. Or some other monkey, but after a night of jokes about the monkey he abandoned in Germany, this was a very satisfying reveal. 6. Dave Chappelle was totally in the audience. Jeff Ross pointed this out in a shout out during his set and it was probably the biggest WTF moment. We're not saying it was unexpected, but during Bieber's rebuttal he joked that Kevin Hart was only the roastmaster because among others, Dave Chappelle was not available, which caused Dave to stand up like -- I'm right here! It was glorious. 7. Scooter Braun wasn't mentioned much but when he was he looked deeply uncomfortable. Justin Bieber's manager (and basically the man we have to thank for his career) made haste on the carpet and didn't seem to be enjoying the dais as much as everyone else. But he was the most uncomfortable when Kevin Hart basically called out Scooter for discovering Justin in a YouTube video... on the internet... when he was 12 years old. When you put it that way, it is actually pretty creepy! 8. Kevin Hart and the stage manager seemed annoyed with each other and it was hilarious. This of course won't be televised, but Kevin Hart vs. Joe is worth mentioning as a behind the scenes "taping a show " moments that personally amused us very much. 9. Poor Snoop Dogg is getting old (but he's too high to care). He probably expected the weed jokes, but what Kevin Hart and the roasters really took the 43-year-old rapper to task for were the grays in his hair. Still, Snoop didn't seem too phased when he took the mic, explaining, "I've been smoking and drinking -- I feel real good! " Highlights from Snoop's set include him calling out Ludacris for "biting " on his rhymes 15 years later, straight up just hitting on Natasha Leggero (it was one of those "oh, he's not even joking " moments), and saying the "n-word " like a thousand times. That's an exaggeration, but not as big of one as you'd expect it to be! 10. To be fair, Ludacris got some "old " jokes too. SNL's Pete Davidson remarked that "you might know Ludacris from your mom's 'That's What I Call Music' CD. " It was a tough dais for aging rappers. 11. Ludacris made a Robitussin joke, and Justin Bieber thought it was REALLY funny. After suggesting Justin insisted the after-party be sponsored by the cough syrup manufacturer, often used illicitly to make the drug concoction sizzurp, and you could hear Justin just dying. He lost it. That is all. 12. We sort of found out why Martha Stewart was there, and loved it. The 73-year-old business mogul turned convicted felon showed up to offer Justin some lifestyle tips for going to prison. Apparently Martha advises making a shank out of a pintail comb and a pack of gum. "Bubblelicious works best, " suggests Martha. Martha Stewart's roast was actually delightfully vulgar, mostly because of OMG, did they seriously just get Martha Stewart to make a sex joke about her bed linens?! Beyond that, Martha was mostly there so everyone could poke fun of the fact that on a stage that included Snoop and Justin Bieber, it's Martha who has done the most jail time. Solid booking Comedy Central, this was hilarious. NEWS: Justin Bieber Takes Plea Deal, Not Going To Jail This Time 13. Shaquille O'Neal is gigantic and adorable. He laughed at all the things, seemed to really be enjoying himself, made fun of Kazaam, and spanked Kevin Hart. We love you, Shaq! 14. Also Kevin Hart stood next to Shaq and it was amazing. By the way, but Kevin Hart standing next to Shaq (among other tall people) is totally a beat we've covered, and if you enjoy the photo above, there's totally more where that came from here. PICS: Kevin Hart Standing Next To Taller People Will Make Your Day 15. Natasha Leggero pretty much killed it. After fielding a lot of shame-y, largely misogynistic humor, comedian Natasha Leggero got up and really helped the dais pick up steam. She added to the many "Kevin Hart is small " jokes by suggesting he'd be on the next season of Game of Thrones as "Peter Dinklage's shadow. " That one received standing applause from Kevin himself. Her set was arguably the funniest of the dais, until... 16. Hannibal Buress kept it so real and basically destroyed. Hannibal Buress didn't really have many jokes. The comedian mostly just had honest opinions and the crowd died. It was so funny. It was the high point of the night. "Justin, I don't like your music. I think it's bad man. I hate your music. " Actually, aside from being mentioned in many of the aforementioned Bill Cosby jokes, Hannibal was largely left alone on the panel of Roasters. When bringing him up, Kevin Hart suggested (in jest) that Hannibal was boring, and unfunny. That's when Buress got up and proved his brand of comedy can absolutely wreck a crowd. "Thank you for letting me be here, " said Buress. "Actually, you should thank me for being here in your extremely transparent attempt to be more likable in the public eye. I hope it doesn't work. " It was biting, honest, and real. Justin was going to have a lot to answer for. Did the pop star come through? Well... 17. Justin apologized and promised to be better. After a few good jokes of his own ( "What do you get when you give a teenager $200 million? A bunch of has-beens calling you a lesbian for two hours, " and "Chris D'Elia gets a ton of girls. Wanna know why? 'Cause I'm a big fan of Chris D'Elia.), Justin ended the roast by continuing his apology tour. "I was thrown into this at 12 years old, " said Justin. "Through it all, I have lost some of my best qualities. For that, I'm sorry. In addition to apologizing, Justin made a few promises. "I will not end up broken, pathetic, bitter, or sitting on someone else's roast, " said Justin. "I turned a lot of people off over the years, but I know I can still make good music and turn everything around. " 18. But then backstage, he couldn't help himself from keeping it J.B. When asked about what's next for him, Bieber said, "I'm going to Vegas. On my jet, b*tch! " Sounds about right. The Roast of Justin Bieber will air March 30 on Comedy Central. Watch Justin Bieber sing "Baby " with a young fan.

Veteran ESPN analyst Dick Vitale went in for a giant smooch on the lips with Kentucky basketball superfan Ashley Judd before the SEC championship game on Sunday -- the 46-year-old actress is an alumna of the University of Kentucky and was there to cheer on the Wildcats -- without warning.

Robert Durst Arrested: Did HBO's 'The Jinx' Lead to His Capture? Over the weekend real estate heir Robert Durst was arrested in New Orleans on a murder warrant in the California investigation into the death of his longtime friend Susan Berman, leaving some wondering if the HBO documentary The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst played a role in his capture. NEWS: Robert Durst Says He "Killed Them All " in Final Moments of HBO Doc "What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course, " Durst said to himself during a private moment in the hotel bathroom following his final interview with director Andrew Jarecki that aired Sunday. The documentary examined three cases: the 1982 disappearance of Durst's first wife Kathleen and the deaths of Berman and Durst's neighbor Morris Black. "Anything that he has said in this documentary is potentially admissible in court, " attorney Robin Sax told ET. "The most important thing that I saw is he for the first time felt that he was sunk. " The Los Angeles Police Department told ET that the documentary had nothing to do with Durst's arrest. Still, the six-part series did strike a chord with audiences, bringing the cases back into the forefront of people's minds. NEWS: Robert Durst Arrested on Murder Warrant "What these filmmakers did was definitely extraordinary, " Sax said. "They were able to speak to him in a way that gained his trust and no law enforcement officer would have that. They built on that base to get this wonderful evidence.

Wisconsin hearing on right-to-work bill set for Tuesday Wisconsin's majority-Republican legislature will this week take up a right-to-work bill that is expected to spark union protests in Madison, after two legislative committees on Monday approved plans to convene an extraordinary session.The Senate and Assembly organization committees voted along party lines to start the session on Tuesday with a hearing on the proposed right-to-work bill in the Senate labor committee, followed by a full Senate discussion on Wednesday."I believe the right-to-work issue is about workplace freedom. Workers should have the freedom to choose whether or not it is in their family’s best interest to join a union," said Republican Representative Tyler August in a statement. The proposed bill would prohibit workers from being required to join and financially support a union - such as by paying dues - as a condition of their employment. Democrats and unions sharply oppose right-to-work legislation in Wisconsin, where Republican lawmakers in 2011 approved restrictions on collective bargaining for most public-sector unions except police and fire amid large demonstrations."Not only will this bill lower family wages across our state and interfere with private business contracts but it could leave taxpayers with an even larger budget hole to fill," Senate Minority Leader Jennifer Shilling said on Monday.The adoption of a right-to-work law would decrease state revenue through lower wages, Shilling said.A crowd of about 200 people and union members on Monday evening huddled in frigid temperatures in a downtown Milwaukee park where they called the right-to-work legislation an assault on the working class."We are going up against a beast...its whole purpose is to demean our unions," said Gerry Miller, a welder and member of the United Auto Workers. Unions also plan to hold a rally at the state capitol building on Tuesday to coincide with the Senate committee public hearing."If right-to-work was any good for this state, we wouldn't see it being... passed this quickly in an attempt to circumvent democracy," said Phil Neuenfeldt, Wisconsin AFL-CIO president.Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald expects the Republican-dominated Senate to approve the legislation by the end of the week and the Assembly to take up the bill the week of March 2.Governor Scott Walker, a potential Republican candidate for president in 2016, supports the policy and will sign the bill if it makes it to his desk, a spokeswoman said on Friday.

Neville Longbottom No More: Matthew Lewis Shows Off Buff Bod in Military Series In the Harry Potter films, Neville Longbottom -- played by Matthew Lewis in all eight films -- was dopey, pudgy, and not much of a heartbreaker. That is until he grew up. Now, at 25 years old, Lewis has shed just about any reminder of his awkward, onscreen childhood days thanks to a new photo tweeted by former co-star Emma Watson.  The new pic -- a still from the BBC dramedy, Bluestone 42 -- shows Lewis as a hunky, stone-faced military corporal. Emma Watson Gives Another Inspirational Speech on Gender Equality While the pic caused a bit of a frenzy on the Internet, Lewis’ grown-up look shouldn’t come as a surprise for Potter diehards. Since the final two films, the actor has grown out of his pudgy frame and has shown off a scruffy, mature look. He even displayed his fit frame in an ALS Ice Bucket Challenge video.

This Teenager Looks Exactly Like Benedict Cumberbatch (and Girls Love Him Just as Much) Can’t get famous by being talented and perfecting your craft over years and years of hard work? Have you considered just looking exactly like that other famous person? Tyler Michell, 17, of Norfolk in England looks a lot like a young Benedict Cumberbatch. Like it’s spooky how similar they look. Like it looks like someone Benjamin Button-ed the real Benedict Cumberbatch and he’s a teenager again. Also probably what Benedict Cumberbatch’s soon-to-be-born baby will look like in high school (i.e. like Benedict Cumerbatch, but younger). Anyway, Tyler is Instagram famous for taking selfies that look like Sherlock. NEWS: Can you tell which is the real Cumberbatch and which is wax? "It started out as a joke,” Tyler told The Telegraph. “My close friends and family would tease me and say I looked like Benedict Cumberbatch. I guess I look like him a little -- but I really didn't take it seriously.” He continued, "Then people would come up to me at school and say, 'Wow you really look like Sherlock.' Suddenly people started adding me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and I got more and more friends and followers...[It’s] crazy as I'm just a teenage boy sitting at home.” A teenage boy sitting at home looking exactly like Benedict Cumberbatch though. WATCH: Blake Shelton has hilariously never heard of Benedict Cumberbatch Now, Tyler says people come up to him on the streets and comfort him about losing the Academy Award to Eddie Redmayne (which is ridiculous, because while he does looks like Benedict Cumberbatch, he’s also 20 years younger. Cumberbatch looks great, but c’mon, people, are you blind?) "I was shocked Benedict didn't win. This might be biased but I thought he was the best nomination,” Tyler says of The Imitation Game. “Even though he lost, it hasn't stopped the attention I get.” Take comfort in that, Benedict Cumerbatch. Your loss hasn’t negatively affected a teenager who looks like you. NEWS: We need these glorious Benedict Cumberbatch leggings ASAP please! For what it’s worth, Tyler doesn’t think he looks that much like Cumberbatch (but is happy to receive the attention nonetheless). "In honesty, I don't really see the similarity,” he says. “I'm a huge fan of Benedict, but I don't think I look like him. " Tyler’s mom, Nicola Alderton, also claims, "It could be quite surreal having a Hollywood superstar lookalike in the house, but he's just our Tyler. " OK, mom.

Kathy Griffin on Giuliana Rancic 'Fashion Police' Controversy: 'I Wouldn't Have Said' the Zendaya Joke Fashion Police host Kathy Griffin isn't exactly backing up Giuliana Rancic after the longtime E! television personality came under fire last month for joking that former Shake It Up star Zendaya Coleman's dreadlocks hairstyle at the Oscars smelled like "patchouli oil ... or weed. " Rancic publicly apologized after Zendaya called out the 40-year-old host in an eloquent Instagram that received plenty of support from fellow celebs like Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, Chloe Moretz and Maksim Chmerkovskiy. When asked if people would have reacted so strongly if Griffin had made the joke instead of Rancic, Griffin tells the Chicago Sun-Times' Splash magazine, "Probably not. " "But I wouldn't have said the joke in the first place, " she adds. "Some dude wrote it for her. " VIDEO: Kelly Osbourne Opens Up About Leaving 'Fashion Police' Following Zendaya Controversy The 54-year-old comedian also says she gave an especially important piece of advice to Rancic following the backlash. "Don't have anyone write you jokes or even suggest jokes for you on Fashion Police, " she says. "You have enough great insider gossip from actually being ON the red carpet. That's what fans want to hear the next day. Just talk and be yourself. " Griffin admits the long-running E! show can be dated, revealing that the show wanted to have a running segment called "Whore Score " but she refused. "My approach is ALWAYS to go for the laugh, be as inappropriate as possible, but also change with the times, " she explains. "Comedy requires evolution as much as any business. My goal would be to bring the comedic sensibility of any show I enter or take over into a more modern way of thinking … and laughing. The show wanted to do a running segment called 'Whore Score.' Um, no thanks. I think we can do better. " As for Kelly Osbourne's outspoken comments that she was unhappy about the controversy -- then subsequently quitting Fashion Police after five years on the show -- Griffin says she doesn't know if Rancic's comments directly caused Osbourne's departure. "Sometimes she seemed very upset at the merely seven tapings of Fashion Police we did together, " she commented. "I can tell you this: I adore that family. ... Kelly came to my house a couple of times when Joan was in the hospital and we were consoling each other. I can tell you there was genuine love there. " NEWS: Jennifer Lawrence Speaks Out Against 'Fashion Police' Zendaya, 18, accepted Rancic's apology late last month, writing, "Giuliana, I appreciate your apology and I'm glad it was a learning experience for you and for the network.

‘Blurred Lines’ Lawyer: Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams Will Seek Appeal Unsatisfied with the verdict in favor of the Gaye family, Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams’ attorney in the “Blurred Lines” case will be seeking an appeal. NEWS: Marvin Gaye's Family Awarded More Than $7 Million in 'Blurred Lines' Trial On Wednesday, Howard King stated that the court battle was far from over. “We are going to exercise every post trial remedy we have to make sure this verdict does not stand,” he told Fox Business Network. “We look at it as being in the seventh inning of a game that could go into extra innings. " Earlier this week, a jury awarded the Gaye family $7.4 million in damages and compensation to be paid out by Thicke and Williams, the “Blurred Lines” songwriters who the court determined illegally infringed on the copyright of Marvin Gaye’s 1977 hit song “Got to Give it Up.” "We owe it to song writers around the world to make sure this verdict doesn't stand, " King said. "My clients know that they wrote the song 'Blurred Lines' from their hearts and souls and no other source.” The verdict in the case has led many to call out the decision. The New York Times said the “verdict is a victory for an outmoded law, but also an outmoded way of thinking about music.” Meanwhile The Washington Post flat out said it was “bad for pop music,” potentially opening up the music industry to frivolous lawsuits. NEWS: Gaye Family Talks Emotional Verdict, 'Happy' Similarities Following the court's decision, the Gaye family said it has taken note of the similarities between Williams’ 2014 hit “Happy” and Gaye’s other hit, “Ain’t That Peculiar.” "Pharrell has readily admitted that Marvin Gaye is one of his idols, but it's silk and rayon, " King said in response. "If this is the way the law is going to go, then the creator of rayon better look behind him for lawsuits from the owners of silk, because, even though they feel the same they are structurally, completely different just like these songs.

U.S. Senate Democrats invite Netanyahu to meeting during visit Two senior U.S. Senate Democrats invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to a closed-door meeting with Democratic senators during his upcoming visit to Washington, warning that making U.S.-Israeli relations a partisan political issue could have "lasting repercussions."Senators Richard Durbin and Dianne Feinstein extended the invitation "to maintain Israel's dialogue with both political parties in Congress," according to a letter to the Israeli leader seen by Reuters.Netanyahu has faced criticism at home and abroad for his plans to address Congress on Iran's nuclear program on March 3, just two weeks before Israeli elections and at a sensitive point in international negotiations with Tehran. The Israeli leader accepted the invitation from Republican leaders in the U.S. Congress, who broke diplomatic protocol by consulting neither Democrats in Congress nor Democratic President Barack Obama's administration."This unprecedented move threatens to undermine the important bipartisan approach towards Israel - which as long-standing supporters of Israel troubles us deeply," Durbin and Feinstein wrote."It sacrifices deep and well-established cooperation on Israel for short-term partisan points - something that should never be done with Israeli security and which we fear could have lasting repercussions," they said.Critics have accused Netanyahu of placing his ties to Republicans above Israel's relations with the United States, its most important ally. U.S.-born Ron Dermer, Israeli's ambassador to Washington, is a former Republican political operative.Although some Democrats have said they would not attend Netanyahu's speech to the joint meeting of the House of Representatives and Senate, the session proposed by Durbin and Feinstein would be in addition to the address. It is not intended as an alternative, a Durbin aide said.The two senators have not indicated publicly whether they planned to be at the Israeli leader's address, their spokesmen said.Obama has declined to meet Netanyahu during his trip to Washington, citing what he has said is U.S. protocol not to meet world leaders shortly before national elections. Israelis are due to vote on March 17.Durbin is the No. 2 Democrat in the U.S. Senate. Feinstein, who has been in the Senate since 1992, is the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee and a senior member of the Appropriations and Judiciary committees.The letter was sent on Monday evening. The Israeli Embassy did not have an immediate response to the invitation.

Lauren Conrad: I've Never Been 'Obsessed With the Idea of Marriage' Despite her ultra-romantic style and the recent addition of a bridesmaid dress collection to her Paper Crown fashion line, Lauren Conrad reveals her very grounded take on marriage in the April issue of Redbook magazine. Thanks to Laguna Beach and The Hills, LC's fans have seen a few of her romantic entanglements play out on the small-screen (who can forget Stephen Colletti, Jason Wahler and Brody Jenner?), but the 29-year-old reality star says her current husband is "the first person [she] ever thought [she] could marry.

Ricky Martin, Ryan Murphy and Others Show Support For Elton John's Dolce & Gabbana Boycott On Saturday, legendary musician Elton John announced that he is boycotting Dolce & Gabbana after the company's two founding designers publicly expressed negative views on gay parenting, saying, in part, "You are born to a mother and a father. " Now, several big-name stars are coming forward to throw their support behind John's boycott. NEWS: Why Elton John Is Boycotting Dolce and Gabbana Ryan Murphy, creator of Glee and American Horror Story, took to Twitter on Sunday to blast the fashion designers, calling their views "horrifying. " When Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana spoke with Panorama magazine, Dolce said, "I call children of chemistry, synthetic children. Rented wombs, semen chosen from a catalog. " "Livin' La Vida Loca " singer Ricky Martin, who has two children born from a surrogate mother, took umbrage with those sentiments. "Ur voices R 2powerfull 2B spreading so much h8, " he tweeted. Al Roker, Courtney Love, and Martina Navratilova are among a number of other stars who have shown their support for John's cause and criticized Dolce & Gabbana. On Saturday, John posted a photo on Instagram calling for the boycott, writing, "How dare you refer to my beautiful children as 'synthetic.'

" "I am very well aware of the fact that there are other types of families and they are as legitimate as the one I've known, " Dolce added in the statement.

Obama takes aim at brokers' fees on U.S. retirement accounts U.S. brokers and financial advisers would face new constraints under a plan President Barack Obama put forward on Monday to reduce conflicts of interest and "hidden fees" that cost Americans billions of dollars in retirement savings every year.In proposing the rules, Obama said he sought to protect Americans from being steered into costly retirement investments that produced high commissions for brokers but low returns for investors preparing for retirement.Democrats and Republicans are trying to position themselves as champions of the middle class in the run-up to the November 2016 presidential election. Retired seniors are an important voting bloc. The proposed rules, which the Department of Labor is expected to submit formally in the coming months, will inject political pressure into an already intense debate over brokers' obligations.They would have an impact on thousands of brokerages, from large players such as Fidelity, Wells Fargo (WFC.N), Charles Schwab (SCHW.N) and Raymond James (RJF.N), to smaller, independent shops. Brokers would be held to a higher "fiduciary standard," requiring them to put their clients' financial interests ahead of their own. The White House said the proposals target fees and payments that on average lead to a full percentage point lower annual return on retirement savings at a cost to Americans of $17 billion a year.In particular, Obama called for new rules preventing retirement brokers from steering clients' savings into funds with higher fees and lower returns, or advising clients to roll their funds over into higher-cost plans.Speaking at an event hosted by the AARP Inc, formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons, Obama said, "It's a very simple principle: You want to give financial advice, you’ve got to put your client’s interests first. You can't have a conflict of interest." The proposal is opposed by many Republicans, financial firms and some of Obama's fellow Democrats who fear the plan will limit retirement products available to investors and curb brokers' compensation.Wall Street groups have lobbied for years against efforts by the Labor Department to adopt a new fiduciary rule, forcing the department in 2011 to scrap its first draft of the plan.Secretary of Labor Tom Perez said on Sunday in a call with reporters that the new proposal would incorporate feedback from the previous failed attempt."We expect that the proposed rule will not ban commissions or any common compensation practices, and it will allow financial advisers to continue providing general education on retirement savings," he said, citing some of the differences with the previous proposal.The industry is predicting rapid growth in retirement accounts. Boston-based Cerulli Associates said that in 2013, U.S. investors rolled over an estimated $352.9 billion into IRAs from employer-sponsored retirement plans. New rollovers from such plans will balloon to an estimated $546.1 billion in 2019, Cerulli said. IRAs are individual retirement accounts.MIDDLE-CLASS ISSUES Reform advocates welcomed the announcement."The president's involvement ... on this issue from our perspective is a very positive sign," said Shaun O'Brien, an assistant policy director for health and retirement with the AFL-CIO, a federation of labor groups.Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, a consumer advocate who some Democrats hope will challenge Hillary Clinton for the party's presidential nomination, joined Obama at the event. The speech prompted swift reaction from Capitol Hill.Missouri Republican Representative Ann Wagner, the sponsor of past legislation to delay the Labor Department's efforts, pledged to put forth new legislation later this week to "preserve options for Americans to obtain financial advice."In 2013, Wagner's prior bill generated some bipartisan support and passed in the House by a vote of 254-166.Some Democrats who supported that bill have since shifted. Representative John Delaney of Maryland, who attended the event with Obama, told Reuters in a statement on Monday that since the bill passed, "reams of additional data have been released" showing the need for new rules. DIFFERENT STANDARDSIn their pushback against the Labor Department's efforts, Wall Street groups have also cited a lack of coordination with the Securities and Exchange Commission.The SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority oversee largely the same pool of brokers as Labor, but they have different legal regimes.The SEC for years has considered adopting its own uniform fiduciary rule for retail brokers and advisers, but remains divided.Under current SEC rules, advisers are held to a higher "fiduciary" standard while brokers are held to a lower "suitability" standard, meaning they must sell "suitable" products even if they are not the most cost-effective.Ken Bentsen, president of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, said the SEC is the appropriate entity to consider any new rules, and called the White House's research supporting reforms inadequate.Bentsen said Obama's announcement "juts a lot of politics into what is a very serious matter."

Marvin Gaye's Family Awarded More Than $7 Million in 'Blurred Lines' Trial UPDATE: Robin Thicke, Pharrell and T.I. have issued a joint statement in response to Tuesday's ruling. A verdict has been reached in the "Blurred Lines " trial. Marvin Gaye's children, Frankie and Nona Gaye, won their claim that Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams and T.I.'s song "Blurred Lines " was too similar to their father's 1977 hit song, "Got to Give it Up. " The jury found that the trio did infringe on Gaye's song and awarded his family nearly $7.4 million in damages. NEWS: The Final Days of the 'Blurred Lines' Trial The family originally sought $25 million in alleged damages, though the song reportedly made $16,675,690 in profits – the biggest hit of 2013. According to court documents, $5,658,214 went to Thicke, $5,153,457 to Williams, and $704,774 to T.I. The remaining amount went to record companies Interscope, UMG Distribution and Star Trak. Pharrell acknowledged in court that "Blurred Lines " has the "feel " of "Got to Give it Up, " but he pointed out that "feel " does not necessarily equal "infringement. " Following the ruling, Thicke, Pharrell and T.I.'s reps issued a joint statement expressing their clients' disappointment in the verdict. "While we respect the judicial process, we are extremely disappointed in the ruling made today, which sets a horrible precedent for music and creativity going forward, " it read.

We are reviewing the decision, considering our options and you will hear more from us soon about this matter.

U.S. names special envoy to Colombian peace process The United States named a special envoy to Colombian peace talks on Friday, responding to requests from both the Colombian government and leftists rebels for Washington to take a more active role in ending Latin America's longest-running war.U.S. President Barack Obama named Bernard "Bernie" Aronson, a former U.S. assistant secretary of state for Inter-American Affairs from 1989 to 1993, to the role."President Obama has come to the conclusion that while significant obstacles remain, a negotiated peace in Colombia is absolutely worth pursuing and absolutely worth assisting if we are able to," Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters.As a close ally of Colombia, the United States has "responsibility to do what it can in order to help Colombia to achieve that peace," Kerry said.Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos requested a more direct American role during a visit by Kerry to Bogota in December. Santos staked his presidency on peace talks, winning re-election last year against a right-wing opponent who had threatened to bring them to a halt."We are grateful to President Obama and his government for this new gesture," Santos said in a statement.The conflict between the Colombian government and Marxist-inspired rebels from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) has killed more than 220,000 people since 1964.The FARC has been calling for U.S. involvement since the peace talks began in Cuba two years ago and welcomed the announcement in a statement on Friday, thanking the Americans."We consider it a necessity, considering the permanent presence and impact that the United States has in Colombia's political, economic and social life," the FARC said.It was unclear whether the recent change in U.S. relations with Cuba played a role. Washington and Havana have begun a historic effort to restore diplomatic relations after more than 50 years of hostility. Aronson, a veteran diplomat who was also involved in peace efforts in Nicaragua and El Salvador, said the United States "will not take a place at the negotiating table, but we can push, prod, cajole, and clarify and help wherever we can."Colombian negotiators have reached partial accords on political participation for ex-rebels, land reform and an end to the illegal drug trade. They are currently negotiating victim reparations and demobilization.Once all five partial accords are reached, the two sides will review the entire agreement, which would then be placed before Colombian voters for ratification.

For me I'm the kind of person who needs to grow into that feeling. It was probably a couple of years in when I could already see us being together forever. " "The worst thing you can do is try to lock someone like that down early on, then have them think, 'There's so much more out there,' " Chrissy added. "I played it cool for a long time. Never once did I ask, 'What are we?' Marriage was never my goal, because I've never been very traditional. I was just happy to be with him.

Gwyneth Paltrow on the Launch of Goop: ‘I Was a Fool’ While Goop has grown into a successful – if not sometimes polarizing – lifestyle brand today, there was a time when Gwyneth Paltrow wasn’t sure about what she was getting into. This Is How Much It Costs to Buy Everything on Gwyneth Paltrow's 2014 Goop Gift Guide “I was a fool,” the 42-year-old actress said during a recent interview with Boomberg’s Market Makers. “I had no idea what I was getting myself into. But I have to say, it’s been incredibly rewarding, and I learn so much every day. " As for launching the brand itself, it was a matter of taking control of her own image as well as investing her personal equity into something she could stand behind. “I started questioning being hired as a face,” she said of endorsement deals pitched at her. Gwyneth Palrow vs. Martha Stewart: Whose Dessert Diss Tastes Better? But Paltrow admits that turning Goop into a successful company has been a challenging one, telling the program she’s been pushed “out of her comfort zone.” “It’s vulnerable, challenging, wonderful, and exciting to put yourself in a situation where you’re laying out your idea,” she remarked. And certainly the effort has paid off. In addition to leading the way for other actresses and entertainers to follow – Blake Lively and Jessica Alba have both launched their own brands – Goop “has become its own thing” that her “kids could run if they want to.”

Exclusive: Local bankers emerge as Fed ally in fight against audit bill Local bankers are joining the fight against a congressional proposal to audit the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy decisions, with more expected to lobby against the bill if it gains traction in Washington.The audit of the Fed bill, championed by Rand Paul of Kentucky, a Republican Senator and likely presidential candidate, would encourage interference from lawmakers into the central bank’s monetary policy discussions. A similar Fed audit bill passed the House of Representatives late last year and a hearing on Fed transparency is expected to be formally called by the Senate banking committee, according to people familiar with the matter.A Reuters survey of 24 state banking groups has found that four are actively opposed to Audit the Fed and five would probably take a stand against the bill if it gains more support, giving the central bank an influential ally as the Fed ramps up its own public opposition. The support of groups like the Ohio Bankers League, which is sending 82 members to Washington this week with the bill on its agenda, shows that even though banks of all sizes complain about restrictive Fed regulations, they support its ability to independently set monetary policy."We feel the current system works well, it's time-tested, and there are all kinds of reasons why political influence at the Fed is a bad thing," said Bob Lameier, president of the Ohio group and head of Miami Savings Bank in Miamitown, near Cincinnati. In the run-up to the 2010 Dodd-Frank legislation, community bankers aligned with Fed officials to convince lawmakers not to strip the central bank of responsibility for supervising small banks. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was a group of rules passed in 2010 in a bid to prevent the recurrence of events that caused the 2008 financial crisis. There are more than 6,000 community banks in the U.S., representing 93 percent of all lenders in the country, government data show. Community banks, which typically have less than $10 billion in assets, account for about 45 percent of all of the small loans to businesses and farms made by insured institutions in the United States. The sector is also an influential voice in Washington. The Independent Community Bankers of America, their trade group, gave $1.3 million in political contributions in the 2013-14 campaign cycle, according to the Center For Responsive Politics.This week, Fed Chair Janet Yellen will testify before the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee for the first time since Republicans gained control of the Senate. Bankers and Fed officials alike say the change of control increases the chance that Congress backs the Audit bill and sends it to President Barack Obama.Committee Chair Richard Shelby, an Alabama Republican who opposed Yellen's appointment, supports making the Fed more transparent but has not said whether he backs a full audit. He is expected to call a committee hearing on Fed transparency in the coming weeks, said a person familiar with the matter. Shelby's office declined to comment. The audit bill would allow legislators to launch investigations of Fed policy decisions, which supporters say will shed more light on the unelected body and its $4.5-trillion balance sheet. Last week, Sen. Paul hosted a Facebook-based question-and-answer period on the bill that drew more than 1,300 comments. The Fed's finances, however, are already audited and the bank has taken steps to lift the veil on its decisionmaking, including regularly publishing economic and policy forecasts, and clarifying its long-term goals. Fed policymakers have meanwhile amplified their criticism of the bill, arguing it would encourage short-term political meddling and imperil its independence.While Obama would be expected to veto a Fed audit bill, the debate is set to heat up along with the campaign for the 2016 presidential election.Audit the Fed "is unnecessary and we do not support it," said Arizona Bankers Association spokeswoman Theresa Kleinlein, adding it was not a high priority because the group did not expect the bill to "move very far." The Iowa Bankers Association was similarly opposed, while its Alabama counterpart plans a thorough review of the bill and is prepared to discuss it with lawmakers during a spring visit to the capital. The group is "very supportive of transparency yet would be wary of efforts to diminish the independence of the Fed or to politicize it in any way," said Scott Latham, president of the Alabama Bankers Association.Shelby represents Alabama while Sherrod Brown, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Banking committee, is from Ohio. The Ohio bankers plan to meet this week with Brown, Republican House Speaker John Boehner and other lawmakers to discuss the bill and other issues such as bank regulations and cyber security. Brown opposes the Fed audit bill. Banking groups in Texas, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Virginia and Arkansas said they were inclined to oppose the bill but were skeptical it would progress in Congress. Still, most of the state organizations contacted by Reuters were either unaware of the bill or had not staked a position, a sign that the banking industry, which sends more money to the Republican party, may be cautious about a lightening-rod issue that can pit Main Street against Wall Street.Through a spokeswoman, Sen. Paul said the bill is about "restoring fiscal sanity to our nation's checkbook," adding in an email he aims to put it to a Senate vote. At an Iowa rally earlier this month, he told cheering supporters: "Anyone here want to audit the Fed? Anybody hear that the Fed's out to get us?"

'Discworld' Novelist Sir Terry Pratchett Dies at 66 Renowned British novelist Terry Pratchett, best known for his fantasy series Discworld, died Thursday at his home in Salisbury, England. He was 66. Pratchett was a prolific writer during his long and celebrated career, penning over 70 fantasy and science fiction novels. He completed his final book, Raising Steam, last summer. His Discworld series, which is comprised of 40 novels, was once the best-selling fantasy series in England, before J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter franchise took off wildly in the early 2000s. PHOTOS: Stars We've Lost In Recent Years Pratchett was appointed as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1998, and was Knighted by Queen Elizabeth II during the New Year's Honors on the last day of 2008. Pratchett had been battling aggressive Alzheimer's for the last seven years, publically addressing his condition, which he called "an embuggerance, " and working to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's research. VIDEO: In Memoriam: Celebs We Lost in 2014 "I was deeply saddened to learn that Sir Terry Pratchett has died, " Larry Finlay, Pratchett's publicist, wrote on the author's website.

" Pratchett is survived by his wife Lyn and their daughter Rhianna, as well as his beloved cat, who Finlay noted was sleeping next to Pratchett when he passed, surrounded by his family.

Stephen Sondheim Says Lady Gaga's Oscars Performance Was a 'Travesty' Remember Lady Gaga’s breathtaking, beloved performance celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Sound of Music at the Oscars earlier this year? Apparently, not everyone was a fan. Legendary composer Steven Sondheim trashed the ARTPOP singer’s performance, telling The Times of London, "On the Academy Awards she was a travesty. " NEWS: Lady Gaga Slayed Her 50th Anniversary Oscars Tribute to 'The Sound of Music' "It was ridiculous, as it would be from any singer who treats that music in semi-operatic style, " the 84-year-old Broadway icon explained. "She had no relationship to what she was singing. What people liked was her versatility. " While his sentiments might not be shared by everyone, it was Gaga’s versatility that people seemed to relate to. And the singer worked hard to achieve that gorgeous sound. Gaga actually worked with a vocal coach every day for six months in preparation for the big Oscars number. VIDEO: 2015 Oscars: The Best, Worst, and Weirdest Moments Sondheim admitted, however, that even his own partner, 36-year-old Jeff Romley, is a huge fan of Gaga, saying he would "crawl a mile " to see her sing.

Why Russell Brand Did Not Show Up at SXSW Russell Brand was a no-show at SXSW. The actor canceled his appearance just hours before BRAND: A Second Coming was set to premiere on Friday night. The documentary took 7 years and chronicles everything from his small town roots to his drug addiction and divorce from pop star Katy Perry. NEWS: Russell Brand Takes on the Media Brand, 39, made a statement on his web site about the film. He described what you'll see, "Over the sprawling time period in which we’d been in production I’d transitioned from an attention-seeking missile, exploding into exhibitionism at every turn, into a man who, whilst still a show-off, was becoming disillusioned and disconnected from fame, celebrity and all it’s sticky ephemera. " And he then gave his reasoning for why he just couldn't watch it. "You’d think a narcissist would like nothing more than talking about themselves and their “rags to riches”, “hard luck” story but actually, it felt like, to me, my life was hard enough the first time round and going through it again was painful and sad, " he wrote. WATCH: Russell Brand Defends Bruce Jenner While he has nothing but praise for the film's director Ondi Timoner, he continued, "I know Ondi is an artist and I’m told the film is good but for me watching it was very uncomfortable.

Big Sean Reveals How Ariana Grande Reacted to His Very Inappropriate Lyric About Her The risk of dating a musician? The possibility that he or she might write a song about you that crosses into TMI territory, which is exactly what happened with Ariana Grande and her boyfriend, rapper Big Sean. His new album, Dark Sky Paradise, contains some very eyebrow-raising lyrics, which Rolling Stone recently called him out on in a new interview. Specifically, his song "Stay Down " contains the NSFW lyrics, "I got a million-dollar chick with a billion-dollar p**sy/Every time I come, I swear to God I feel rich. " ... Seriously?! PHOTOS: Sweetest Celebrity PDA "Yeah, that line is awesome, " the 26-year-old rapper laughs, who's no stranger to writing about his past relationships. But was the 21-year-old "Love Me Harder " singer upset about the crude lyrics? "I don't have to run it by my girl, but she hears, " he dishes. "I played her the whole album before it came out, so she heard everything. " Apparently, it doesn't bother her at all. "She's super supportive, " he says. "It's cool, because she was a fan of mine before anything. The first thing she said when she met me was, 'Yo, I love your music,' and she rapped my verse from 'Gang Bang' with Wiz Khalifa. She was just an actress on TV at the time. " "She's very open-minded, " he stresses. "I'm proud of her. " Judging by Ariana's Instagram, she's definitely beyond proud of her boyfriend's new album. Last month she posted a video of her rapping his song "Play No Games " to Big Sean himself, writing, "'Play No Games' is one of my favorites off the album but this whole album is beyond incredible. Every song, start to finish. I love uuuuu and i'm so excited for you @bigsean. you put absolutely everything into this and deserve all the beautiful things in the world. #waaayup #blessed.

Homeland Security shutdown can be avoided by Friday: senators Senior Republican senators said they expected Congress will avoid a shutdown over the Department of Homeland Security, which faces a partial shutdown on Feb. 27 amid a GOP push to roll back President Barack Obama's executive actions on immigration.Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson pressed lawmakers to resolve the deadlock, expressing frustration at what he described as finger-pointing between House and Senate lawmakers over who is to blame if Congress fails to enact a spending bill to keep the department running."First of all, it's absurd that we're even having this conversation about Congress's inability to fund homeland security in these challenging times," Johnson said on CNN's "State of the Union". In the same interview he also expressed concern about a Somali-based Islamist militant group's threats to Western malls including the Mall of America in Minnesota.Johnson noted that if lawmakers allow a funding lapse, the department would have to furlough some 30,000 employees and others working in such areas as aviation security and maritime security would be forced to come to work without a paycheck, as well as halt DHS support for state and local law enforcement. House Republicans had passed a budget bill that would reverse some of President Barack Obama's immigration initiatives, which shielded undocumented immigrants from departation, but Senate Deomcrats have blocked the Senate from considering that bill in three separate votes.Moderate Republican senators said Sunday they think a shutdown can be avoided by focusing on challenging the Obama adminstration's immigration policies in the courts. John McCain, chair of the Senate armed services committee and member of the homeland affairs committee, said on CBS program Face the Nation he thinks a shutdown will be avoided this week if Republicans focus on a legal strategy on immigration."I think that’s the best way we can resolve this," he said. Senator Lindsey Graham, a member of the Senate appropriations committee, echoed McCain's statement on the ABC This Week program.“I hope my House colleagues will understand our best bet is to challenge this in court. That if we don’t fund the Department of Homeland Security, we’ll get blamed as a party," he said.House Republicans have said Obama would take the blame for jeopardizing national security if DHS funds are cut off. Some conservatives have downplayed the consequences, saying there would be no interruption in the agency's critical protective missions.

Elizabeth Hurley Says Hugh Grant Is ‘Annoying,’ ‘Grumpy’ -- But a ‘10’ in Bed When it comes to shagging Hugh Grant and the royal family, Elizabeth Hurley does not plead the fifth! During a visit to Watch What Happens Live, the 49-year-old actress is grilled by host Andy Cohen on her ex-beau Hugh Grant. Hugh Grant Is 'Delighted' When He's Not Acting “He used to really annoy me. I love him but he’s very annoying,” Hurley said when asked about why the two broke up after 13 years together. “Did he annoy you when he was here?” “He was very cranky,” Cohen said in response to Hurley’s question.

Inside Kathy Griffin's Decision to Quit 'Fashion Police' Speculation continues around Kathy Griffin's surprising decision to leave Fashion Police after just seven episodes. Griffin dropped the bombshell on her Instagram on Thursday, the same day her not exactly supportive comments on the Giuliana Rancic/Zendaya scandal went public in an interview with the Chicago Sun Times' Splash magazine. A source close to Griffin tells ET that the show's sense of humor was always out of step with hers. In an email leaked by Buzzfeed, Griffin apparently emailed friends and asked them to post messages of support on social media, if they felt comfortable doing so. She also expressed concern about how her departure would be received. "I am nervous and scared about this... " the email reads. NEWS: Kathy Griffin Leaves 'Fashion Police' After 7 Episodes A source close to Fashion Police tells ET that another factor in the 54-year-old comedian's departure was Griffin's concern that the Zendaya scandal -- in which Rancic made the controversial comment that the 18-year-old Disney star's dreadlocks hairstyle at the Oscars smelled like "patchouli oil ... or weed " -- could negatively affect her current arena tour and concert sales. Griffin has a concert stop scheduled as early as Friday, March 12, in Waterbury, Conn., and has regular scheduled appearances across the U.S. through October. The source also adds that E! didn't exactly try and stop her from quitting. Just last month, Kelly Osbourne -- who had been part of the Fashion Police cast for five years -- also abruptly quit following her own outspoken unhappiness with the Rancic controversy. "I could not be more proud of you @kathygriffin you have my love and support always! " she tweeted on Thursday in reaction to Griffin's decision. When speaking to ET's Brooke Anderson recently, Kelly expressed that all of the recent Fashion Police drama would never have happened if everyone had listened to the show's executive producer, Melissa Rivers. However, according to a source, Kelly cannot yet speak publicly about her reasons for leaving Fashion Police due to contractual obligations. But when ET sat down with Melissa in February, she gave no hint that there was any trouble within the cast. "I love, love, love, love my cast, " she said, referencing Griffin and her fellow newcomer, celebrity stylist Brad Goreski. "Right now, I love my cast, I love the direction the show is going. As I've said in the past, it needed to feel familiar yet completely fresh and different, and I think we're achieving that, so I'm really proud of them. " But in Griffin's lengthy Instagram post explaining her decision to leave, she directly expressed that she was at odds with the creative direction of the show. "I do not want to use my comedy to contribute to a culture of unattainable perfectionism and intolerance toward difference, " she wrote. "I want to help women, gay kids, people of color and anyone who feels underrepresented to have a voice and a LAUGH!...After 7 episodes of Fashion Police, I discovered that my style does not fit with the creative direction of the show & now it's time to move on. " Griffin has already received plenty of support from her fellow celebs for the decision, including Chelsea Handler, who has been more than vocal about how little she respects E!.

Kevin McCarthy: We only want Hillary Clinton's Benghazi emails House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-California, defended Republicans' demands that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hand over the server she used to run her private email account while heading up the State Department. "I think it's clear and it's fair.Because first, I think the American people have a right to know the truth.And I think Secretary Clinton has a responsibility to tell it," McCarthy said on CBS' "Face the Nation.""We're not interested in her private emails.We're not even interested in her emails regarding Russia and the reset or Syria and Assad and the chemical weapons, only those pertaining to Benghazi."McCarthy said a third party, such as the inspector general at the State Department, should be responsible for determining which emails are handed over to the special House committee investigating 2012 U.S. consulate attack in Benghazi, Libya. The committee has already issued a subpoena for all of Clinton's emails related to the attacks, citing suspicion that the messages they have already received are incomplete. Clinton has chalked up the use of a personal email address as a matter of convenience and said that she followed all rules and regulations in effect at the time. While McCarthy said he didn't know whether Clinton has done anything illegal, he said she "brings a lot of doubt with her own use.""If you were secretary of state, would you set up a server and put it in your own house, and then ask your top aides only to use that, and only use your attorney to determine what is that of the public or not?" he said. "We have the federal act when it comes to how to use this.I think she brings a lot of doubt with her own use.But she has the ability to clear this up.She has a responsibility to tell the truth to the American public." "Going to a third party, it's fair, it's clear," he added. "We don't want any of the other emails.We don't want to go through them.Just give us the emails pertaining to Benghazi."

Hilary Duff on Whether or Not She Lost Her Virginity to Joel Madden Hilary Duff has clearly been in a sharing mood lately. Aside from posting very revealing bikini selfies and opening up about her soon-to-be ex-husband Mike Comrie, the 27-year-old "All About You " singer also recently revisited her 2004 relationship with 36-year-old Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden. At the time, Hilary was 16 and Joel was 25. The two split in 2006. "I had a pretty serious relationship at a young age that I ended, and it wrecked me for a good year and a half, " Hilary told Cosmopolitan, via E! Online. "I didn't really enjoy being single. " PHOTOS: They Dated?! Surprising Celebrity Hookups When the magazine asked about when she lost her virginity, she didn't exactly make it too hard to connect the dots. "I had a 26-year-old boyfriend.

Why Scott Eastwood Passed on 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Could you imagine Scott Eastwood as handsome billionaire Christian Grey in director Sam Taylor-Johnson's big-screen adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey? It was a distinct possibility for the hunky 28-year-old, who exploded onto the scene after a particularly hot 2013 Town & Country photoshoot. Eastwood even teased fans with the potential casting, Instagramming this photo of himself reading E.L. James' erotic novel. PHOTOS: Stars Who Almost Got the Part But in a new interview with USA Today, The Longest Ride actor admits that while he read for the part of Christian -- which eventually went to Jamie Dornan after Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam dropped out -- he actually took himself out of the running. "They had asked me to come in and read and test for it. But they had no script, " Eastwood explains. "I won't do a movie where there is no script. I am not going to get locked in. And they wanted full frontal nudity. There were some things about it that were not for me. " Though, it's worth noting that Dornan, 32, did not have any full-frontal scenes in the film. "It's not a bad thing. The movie made a ton of money. It's been a success, " he now says about the record-breaking film. "It just wasn’t for me. It was not something I wanted to do. I just didn't enter the running. It was like, 'Okay, thank you.' " It's also apparently not something he wants to go to the theaters to watch. "I’ll have to wait for it to get onto my home channels, " Eastwood says when asked if he's seen the film. VIDEO: Scott Eastwood Seems to Hate Shirts, and We're Okay with That Late last month, there were rumors that Dornan himself wouldn't be returning to the high-profile role because his wife Amelia Warner doesn't approve of the part, though his rep has since proven the reports false.
