Move over, Romy and Michele: Kate and Chloe are here. The trailer for "Ass Backwards," starring June Diane Raphael ("Burning Love") as Kate and Casey Wilson ("Happy Endings") as Chloe, has premiered, and with it comes the 2013 version of the Lisa Kudrow-Mira Sorvino comedy.

"Backwards" is a buddy comedy centering on two delusional lifelong friends who return home to redeem themselves after securing last place in a child pageant years earlier. Alicia Silverstone portrays Kate and Chloe's pageant rival, with Vincent D'Onofrio, Jon Cryer, Bob Odenkirk and "Orange is the New Black" star Lea DeLaria rounding out the supporting cast. The film, written by Raphael and Wilson, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January. It will hit theaters Nov. 8, following an on-demand release on Sept. 30.

Selena Gomez may have kept a tight lip about Taylor Swift's now infamous "Shut the f*ck up" remark at the VMAs, but Swift's pal Ed Sheeran couldn't keep the truth to himself any longer.

At a recent press conference, Sheeran revealed that Swift's snarky remark caught on camera was not aimed at her ex, One Direction member Harry Styles. Instead, just moments before the camera turned to her, Gomez said to Swift she thinks Miley Cyrus is going to win the award for Best Pop Video. In response, Swift told Gomez "Shut the f*ck up," as a friendly reminder that she believes in her.

Gomez, as we all know, went on to win that award.

Sheeran added that Swift came up to him after realizing her words may be taken out of context and said "I think I messed up."

So, a really good friend rather than a scorned ex? Yeah, sounds like Taylor Swift to us.

Watch Sheeran spill the beans below:

Calvin Harris did not hesitate to call out a fan who berated him Friday night during a show at a Miami nightclub. "Let this girl up, I want to hear what she has to say," the DJ said after the fan called him a "sellout." The audience member urged him to play an original, which he informed her he had just done. They continued to exchange words until Harris called her a "dumb f--king b----."

Did this outspoken individual know she was talking to the world's richest DJ? We're pretty sure he doesn't need you at his concerts if you're dissatisfied, ma'am.

Some fans are just too eager.

Justin Bieber had to deal with one such overzealous fan last night at a nightclub in Toronto, Canada, reports TMZ. The website obtained a couple photos that show Bieber with an expression of shock and/or disgust on his face, being moved aside by his security as an unidentified flailing arm tries to reach him.

According to TMZ, around 3 a.m. a male party-goer tried to tackle the Biebes but the crooner's bodyguards stopped him in his tracks. Bieber was thankfully unharmed.

A request for comment made to Bieber's reps was not immediately answered.

Just last May, Bieber suffered another "attack" when an adoring fan managed to climb on stage in Dubai and touch him. The unwanted guest was quickly removed from the premises.

Hold on to your hats, ladies and gentleman, because the Season 4 trailer of "Downton Abbey" has arrived. And it's great.

The minute-long preview opens with the Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith) telling Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) that she "must choose either death or life," and quickly transitions to clips of Anna and Bates staring adoringly at each other, and then pans to what may be a bit of drama. Why do Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) and Cousin Rose (Lily James) seem to be having such a grand time together, exactly?!

There's no question that too much tragedy came to "Downton" in Season 3. But from the looks of the trailer, our favorite high society folks and lovable downstairs characters have come to life again.

"Downton Abbey" Season 4 premieres Sunday, Jan. 5, 2014 on PBS.

Lindsay Lohan is defending herself against those critical of her absence at the Venice Film Festival, where her new movie "The Canyons" premiered on Friday. In a message the actress posted on her website, Lohan said she never confirmed she was attending the festival and that she must place her current focus elsewhere.

"Of course, I would have enjoyed returning to that wonderful city and being a part of this amazing event, but my focus is on my health and well-being," Lohan writes. "Plain and simple, it is of the utmost importance."

Speculations ran wild after director Paul Schrader seemed to make disparaging remarks about his work with the actress. When asked at a press conference why Lohan wasn't present for the premiere, Shrader said, "For the last 16 months, I've been hostage, by own choosing, to a very talented but unpredictable actress. She was supposed to be here today. She said she would be, but she is not."

Lohan had already expressed her support for her "Canyons" colleagues from across international lines, but this time she felt it necessary to be more specific about the situation. A message posted Wednesday on her website read, "I wish I could be there to celebrate with you in Venice. Paul Schrader, @braxtonpope, @JamesDeen could not have done it without you."

We're confident Lohan means it when she says her clean bill is of utmost importance at the moment, but we suspect another force is at play here: Oprah Winfrey. In her widely watched interview with Lohan, the talk-show queen strongly urged the actress not to go to Italy, though her initial plans were broader than attending the festival. Lohan said she would seriously consider Winfrey's suggestion. After all, no one ignores Oprah.

For those who were on the edge of their seats waiting to find out whether American Idol season 46 thirteen would go on as planned, or be delayed for lack of a third judge: Harry Connick Jr. -- once an amazingly candid guest mentor -- has finally agreed to take over the remaining judge's chair alongside J.Lo and Keith Urban, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The death of legendary broadcaster David Frost sparked an outpour of tributes on Sunday morning. The British personality was best known for his legendary post-resignation interviews with President Richard Nixon, which later became the subject a popular play and film written by Peter Morgan. Ron Howard, director of 2006's "Frost/Nixon," told HuffPost U.K. that he has "respect for his audacity" in the wake of Frost's passing.

But Frost wasn't all politics and business -- he was a regular purveyor of celebrity interviews as well. Programs like "The David Frost Show" and "Breakfast with Frost" featured a host of A-list entertainers who are among some of Hollywood's most famous. Here, we recall some of Frost's glitziest interviews.

Dr. Brené Brown on vulnerability, authenticity and being her own guinea pig. The following is an excerpt from ORIGIN Magazine.

Interviewer: Maranda Pleasant

Maranda Pleasant: What inspires you?

Alicia Keys: Many things inspire me. First and foremost, my family, my husband and our son, Egypt. I find that the love we share fills me up and makes me see and appreciate life in a different way. I’m also inspired by many of my friends, colleagues and the extraordinary people I’ve been fortunate enough to meet along the way. Through my organization, Keep a Child Alive, I’ve met many young women who are HIV positive and courageously fighting the disease. Their determination to live a full life and see their children live in a better world is deeply inspiring to me. I’m inspired by artists and musicians. There are so many wonderful and talented people in the world. I love discovering new music, new writers, or new art.

MP: What are you passionate about?

AK: When I’m on stage, my interaction with the audience is something that really makes me come alive. It’s a feeling like no other. The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside. It reminds me to live in the moment. Moments are so fleeting; I want to hold on to the good ones. When I am truly present, I feel alive, and I want everyone around me to share that feeling so we can make the most of that moment together. I also feel alive in quiet moments with my son, riding our bikes or watching him line his trains up in a particular order, witnessing how his mind works, hearing him learn a new word. I’m alive in these special moments because I never knew a love like this.

MP: What breaks your heart?

AK: What breaks my heart is suffering of any kind. Too often our world is divisive and cruel where it needs to be uniting and loving. We have the potential to help people out of poverty, out of disease, out of slavery and out of conflict. Too often we turn the other way because we think there’s nothing we can do. If we took the time to learn more about different places and people, perhaps we would have more empathy for each other. I’ve seen so many lives turn around from the impossible. I have come to embrace the idea that even the simplest act of understanding, love and attention can produce the biggest results.

MP: What is love to you?
AK: Unconditional and reciprocal. It’s accepting people for who they are and what they are, regardless. There is a love song on my newest album called “101.” It’s about a woman who loves a man even though everyone else thinks she’s crazy for doing so. He’s acted a certain way towards other women, but she sees something inside of him that’s deeper and truer and unconditional. Love is giving of yourself in a way that is free of fear.

MP: What makes you feel vulnerable?

AK: Not having all the information can make me feel vulnerable. If I know everything around the situation, all the facts, I feel like I can handle just about anything. It’s the unknown that makes me feel the most vulnerable. I’m in constant pursuit of growing and evolving. The more you know the stronger you become, the closer you feel to yourself and the farther you can go.

MP: What has been a life lesson you learned the most from?

AK: Early on in my career, I was more closed off in every way. I thought I was protecting myself; instead, I was robbing myself of all I could learn and experience. I thought I had to be perfect. I would often make choices I thought would make everyone else happy. I lived at a pace that was “good for my career,” whether it was good for me or not. I have learned how important it is to check in with myself and listen, really listen. I learned to make choices for my personal happiness, and choices that were good for my family, as well. I’m committed to evolving and growing and sitting at the head of my own table with no fears or limitations. But I’ve also learned to be more open now and more spontaneous in life. With each new day, I’m learning how to take control in order to have balance in my life. I plan time for myself and my loved ones and take it. No one will take care of you if you don’t take care of yourself. With all these lessons, I am much happier.

MP: What do you do with emotional pain?

AK: I’ve always expressed myself best through writing. I’ve gotten out all of my deepest feelings that way for as long as I can remember. Sometimes I just sweat it out by running or boxing. When I really need it, talking is the best way to deal with emotional pain.

MP: What is one of your greatest loves?

AK: Family. There’s a song on the new album called “Not Even the King,” which is about the true value of having real love in your life. You could have all the riches in the world, but it doesn’t mean much without family. I’m very blessed to have a phenomenal husband, son, and beautiful family and friends around me.

MP: You inspire so many people. How do you recharge your own spirit?

AK: Quiet moments recharge me. Writing in my journal keeps me focused on my spirit and what I need or feel. Listening to great music and art inspires me and recharges me. I’ve learned that one of my greatest secrets is scheduling downtime into a busy schedule. This gives me the time to have quality moments with my husband and son, who both recharge my spirit in ways I never imagined.

MP: How do you stay centered?

AK: I pray. I pray before everything. When I wake up, before I eat, before I perform, before I go to sleep, in the moments I need guidance. I pray to give thanks and to recognize all the good things that are in my life even during times of great change, confusion, or frustration. Prayer keeps me centered.

MP: Do you meditate or do yoga?

AK: I try to do both. Both are beautiful ways of centering myself in a world that is filled with multitasking. It’s important for everyone -- working moms especially -- to find moments to ground themselves and connect with their own breath. I’ve even begun to show Egypt how to chant and how to give thanks in the morning when he wakes up. It’s beautiful to share the experience together.

Paul McCartney's career is still kicking through the singer's 70s, and that won't change anytime soon. The former Beatle told WXRT Chicago that he has no intention of bowing out of the music business.

"For me, the main thing is I love making music so much," McCartney, 71, told the radio station. "If I retired, I'd still do exactly what I do. So I may as well not retire. Retire from what? I'd do this for nothing."

McCartney is living up to his sentiment, having just released a new Mark Ronson-produced single -- appropriately titled "New" -- this week. An accompanying album of the same name will arrive on Oct. 15. In addition to Ronson, other high-profile collaborators on the album include writer/producer Paul Epworth, who has worked with Adele and Foster the People, and Kings of Leon colleague Ethan Johns.

McCartney reflected on his legendary status during the WXRT interview, listing Tom Petty and Dave Grohl as "cool musicians" who've said his music changed their lives.

Just when we thought we'd seen all the best September issues out there... Harper's Bazaar Brazil has revealed one cool contender.

The mag's cover girl is Dakota Fanning, who shows off an intense pink ombré hairstyle. (Inspired by Jared Leto's dip-dyed locks, perhaps?) Dakota's experimented with tinted tresses in the past, but her pink rinse has never appeared as striking as it does here.

The 19-year-old actress' dramatic shoot was lensed by none other than Karl Lagerfeld, the crazy couturier behind Chanel and Fendi.

It seems it's a fashionable September for Fanning, who covers Elle Korea's thick issue as well. Does this image tickle you pink, or what?

Miley Cyrus gets candid in a new interview with Sunday People, reportedly telling the U.K. paper that she's had a "messed up" life.

The 20-year-old made headlines this week after her racy performance at the MTV Video Music Awards shocked viewers and sent Twitter into a frenzy. Cyrus sang her hit song "We Can't Stop" at the awards show before stripping down to a nude-colored two-piece to perform with Robin Thicke on the summer anthem, "Blurred Lines." But despite her inappropriate on stage antics, Cyrus admits she's a workaholic and is all about the music -- which, in her eyes, isn't always a good thing.

“I have so many f**king issues," she allegedly tells Sunday People. "I am so f**ked up -– everyone does dumb stuff when they are messed up."

“I don’t have a normal life," Cyrus adds. "I take a hiatus every now and again, but I’m not good at that.”

Cyrus also said that she rarely sleeps, but that the lack of shut-eye doesn't affect her.

“All I do is work, so I eat to live and to keep going. People are impressed with me ­because I can sleep for just 45 minutes -- I’m used to it," Cyrus explains, adding that her diet and exercise routine is non-existent. “Because I work so much, I’m always on the road so I eat healthily. I have to give my body what it needs to keep going and if you don’t then you will crash and burn. I don’t get to work out," she continues. "I do yoga and 30 push-ups every day and try to get my mind right.”

So, could those sleepless nights be impacting Cyrus' personal decisions? Who knows.

The deaths of two Electric Zoo attendees and hospitalization of at least four others prompted the cancellation of the third day of the festival on Sunday. As a music journalist who covers dance music for one of the nation's biggest media outlets, it's a story I can't say I'm shocked to hear.

I recently watched "Gimme Shelter," a vintage documentary on the tragic events of Dec. 6, 1969, when a massive, free rock festival headlined by The Rolling Stones turned into a bloody, disorganized mess that left one man killed and scores more injured. Meredith Hunter, who died that day, returned to a fight with a gun and was stabbed. He was reportedly high on methamphetamine to the point of incoherence. With the benefit of some distance, many cultural observers marked the festival as the day the end of the peace-loving, feel-good era that is popularly remembered by events such as Woodstock.

To compare Electric Zoo, a festival whose organizers (Made Event) have spent years developing with careful attention to detail, to the Altamont Free Concert would be reckless. Altamont was tossed together after multiple venues refused to host the proceedings, and the Hell's Angels ended up playing the role of a de facto police force. It was hardly the type of event that Zoo organizers Made Event would ever put on (nor, it's worth noting, could such a major event happen in today's America, much less in New York City).

But just like rock and roll culture cannot be fully considered without taking the events at Altamont into consideration, dance music will also have to come to terms with the fact that the broader society now views it as underscored by drug use and reckless behavior.

There's an understandable resistance to this idea within the dance music community, and it generally rests on the following points: that not all ravers or festival attendees do drugs; that most who use drugs "do so responsibly" and that artists and festival promoters cannot be held responsible for the actions of a few. There's a meta claim too: That it's "unfair" that dance music gets victimized when these incidents occur.

Except for the first, which is almost too obvious to matter, those assertions are at once true and false. Of course "all" dance music fans don't use drugs. It's unclear what percentage of fans do and how that compares to other genres. The second assertion, that "plenty" of EDM fans "do drugs responsibly," is the type of thought that keeps D.A.R.E. counselors and parents up at night. It's impossible to do drugs -- particularly those in powder, rock or pill form, like MDMA and ecstasy -- responsibly. In the absence of on-site pill testing, it's virtually impossible that the vast majority of fans have any reasonable idea what's in their drugs. That's to say nothing of latent health conditions which can cause serious injury and/or fatalities when revealed by drugs that put additional stress on the body. At the very least, an organization such as DanceSafe should play a more prominent role in festivals.

There's also a constant "that wouldn't happen to me"-type of arrogance that underscores the reactions of fans who themselves have tried drugs but didn't suffer any medical consequences. Given the lack of details given about the deaths at Electric Zoo, it's ignorant to speculate as to the decisions that those who passed made. (Also, news flash: MDMA stems the rate at which the body gets rid of water, so chugging water bottles doesn't make you any safer -- it actually dilutes your blood and puts you at greater risk for seizures or cardiac arrhythmia.)

As for the role of artists, promoters (and, I'll add here, dance music journalists), there's much work to be done. It was disheartening to watch countless top-tier DJs simply tweet some variant of "our hearts go out to those who died; drugs are bad" this morning. Tweeting your condolences and half-assedly reminding people that drugs are "bad" or "dangerous" is not enough. Artists should be promoting non-profits who work to provide information on the risks (and ways to mitigate said risks) associated with drugs that are popular among those who consume their media. If it's off-brand for them to tweet links to fact sheets, perhaps they should reconsider their brands.

Festivals, too, should be doing a better job of distributing information. Zero-tolerance policies are laudable, but anyone who has tried to sneak granola bars into a festival knows how easy it is to thwart checkpoints. And since no checkpoint will be 100 percent foolproof, there should be greater attention paid to crowds -- organizers should have security and medical professionals roaming crowds at the main stages. A number of music journalists (including myself) have witnessed fans suffering from heat exhaustion and/or drug-related health issues being walked or carried through crowds that easily number in the tens of thousands. Simply put, medical tents are not enough.

Finally, there's the idea that dance music is unfairly scrutinized for such incidents. Sure -- at least 10 people have died at Bonnaroo over the past decade and there's no current backlash against the artists who headline that festival. But anyone who thinks that other genres haven't been criticized for the dangerous actions of a relatively small number of their participants is myopic at best and more likely ignorant. Ask rap fans if their shows were said to be hotbeds of violence. Ask people who were fans of rock in the '60s if there was any stigma associated with their favorite bands.

There seems to be a confusion between morality and risk prevention that pervades the discourse on "EDM and drugs." I'm not arguing that artists should preach values, but I am arguing that anyone in a position to distribute information that can save lives who shirks that responsibility is a coward. There's a difference between "don't do drugs" (which is, as previously mentioned, the dominant artist Twitter response whenever something like this happens) and "there have been a number of high-profile deaths within our community -- please take a minute to educate yourselves."

I've covered this scene for the entirety of its current explosion, and I hesitate to say that things don't seem to be getting better. As Kerri Mason (a true veteran of the scene) noted, Electric Zoo's Sunday cancellation marks "the first major festival of the three-year-old EDM boom to be shuttered due to drug concerns." It also comes on the heels of the drug-related death of a 19-year-old at a dance music concert in Boston.

This is not a Made Event problem (the festival repeatedly advised attendees to reach out for help if they see anyone who needs assistance and took other precautionary measures) or an [insert artist name] problem. Nor is it a simple problem. But the time to act is now. Artists, promoters and attendees: Don't let this weekend mark the end of dance music's resurgence.

Official statements are available from the New York Mayor's Office and Made Event.

We've seen a bounty of famous faces chime in on the reactions to Miley Cyrus' contentious MTV Video Music Awards performance from last weekend, and now Lady Gaga is the latest to tell people to "lighten up."

"I don't like to pass judgment on Miley Cyrus. Generally, people need to lighten up about pop music -- it's about entertainment," the singer, who opened the VMAs with a performance of her new song "Applause," reportedly told The Sun. "It is here to make you smile and make you happy. Especially in America, there is an excessive dragging of female artists, and I don't want to contribute to that."

Gaga went on to admit that Cyrus' performance was "polarizing" -- "but that's it," she said.

The singer, no stranger to VMA controversy herself thanks to the blood-splattered rendition of "Paparazzi" performed in 2009, joins the camp of Cyrus supporters that includes Justin Timberlake, Selena Gomez, Adam Lambert and Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos. Not everyone was so keen, however -- Kelly Clarkson and Kelly Osbourne are among the singers who've derided Cyrus' twerk-happy performance.

Happy National Grandparents Day!

While our Nanas and Bubbes are pretty run-of-the-mill when it comes to style (think caftans, brooches and Coke-bottle glasses), we're well aware that there are plenty other grannies out there rocking decidedly non-septuagenarian fashion.

Behold, 13 babes who have babies who have babies and STILL wear tight, sparkly dresses (even if they're long-sleeved). It's plain to see these ladies are total GILFs.

Get your head out of the gutter... that's Grandmas In Love with Fashion to you!

Detective Olivia Benson's got a new haircut for "Law & Order: SVU" Season 15.

NBC released promo photos for the new season of "Law & Order: SVU" and they feature the detectives in moody poses and show case Benson's (Mariska Hargitay) new 'do. Season 14 of "SVU" ended with Benson being held at gunpoint by a rapist/murderer.

Season 15 kicks off with the detectives racing against the clock to save Benson. "I want to live," she says in the Season 15 premiere promo. Based on the pictures and Hargitay's contract, it's safe to say Benson makes it out alive ... but if will she be unscathed?

"Law & Order: SVU" Season 15 premieres Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.

VENICE, Italy -- Director Peter Landesman says he licensed the infamous footage of John F. Kennedy's assassination for his film "Parkland" but decided to present it in reflection, and not as a straight image, to present events from an angle no one has seen before.

Landesman called Abraham Zapruder's film "probably the most-examined film in history," but said his movie "is not out to pick a fight" over conspiracy theories.

He therefore chose to show the historic images reflected in the eyeglasses of Zapruder, played by Paul Giamatti, to give the perspective of a witness. He said the film aims to show "the disorientation and the chaos" of the day and present events from a new perspective.

The film, with an ensemble cast, premieres Sunday in competition at the Venice Film Festival.
