Neve Campbell is scrubbing in on "Grey's Anatomy."

According to TVLine, the former "Party of Five" star will appear in at least two episodes as one of Derek Shepherd's sisters. Derek (Patrick Dempsey) has four sisters, two of which have been previously unseen. Caterina Scorsone plays Amelia Shepherd on "Private Practice" and Embeth Davitz played Nancy.

Campbell's other TV credits include Encore's "Titanic: Blood and Steel," "Medium" and "Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical."

Victoria Jackson planned to make her return to the "Saturday Night Live" set last Friday to visit friends, revealing that she would love to make a cameo on the show after being away for 20 years. Jackson also suggests that the show's writers are not all liberals.

Prior to her visit, she told me, “I'm going to visit some of my friends at 'Saturday Night Live.' I haven't been back for, like, 20 years. I'm going to have butterflies, and I'm going to be reliving all my memories of the adrenalin rush.” She added, “I'm going to be intimidated because the new cast members are cool and hot. They are the groovy people now, and I'm the old grandma. But I love comedy, so maybe they will give me a cameo. I would love a cameo, but I don't know if I can handle the adrenalin.”

Admitting that her extreme views have not helped her career, Jackson argues that a lot of other factors have also made it difficult to find work.

“I do think my views might have hurt my career, but there are other factors involved in me not getting work, including me being 20 pounds overweight, being 53 years old, living in Miami, which is very far away from all auditions, so I can't just blame it on my faith or my conservative views. There is a conservative writer on 'SNL' who is in the closet and shall remain nameless. You might lose your career if you come out as a conservative. Maybe some people know, but they don't say anything because he's really good at what he does. They don't want to lose him.”

"SNL" did not respond to a request for comment.

Thanks to films like "Death Proof," "The Thing" and "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" -- plus tweets like this one about "Looper" -- Mary Elizabeth Winstead has become something of a geek icon over the last five years. It's her performance in the indie drama "Smashed," however, that could put her in the same breath as perennial Oscar contenders like Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley.

In "Smashed," Winstead stars as Kate, an elementary school teacher who also happens to be a raging alcoholic. After a particularly lengthy bender with her husband (played by "Breaking Bad" star Aaron Paul), Kate decides she needs help, and the film tracks the ups and downs of her recovery attempt. Directed and co-written by James Ponsoldt (who worked on the script with Susan Burke, a recovering alcoholic herself), "Smashed" is not a typical addiction drama, thanks in part to Winstead's full-bodied portrayal of Kate, a tragicomic figure with relatable demons and concerns.

HuffPost Entertainment recently sat down with Winstead to discuss "Smashed," the paucity of good roles for women in Hollywood and what fans can expect from "A Good Day to Die Hard."

One of the first things that stands out about "Smashed" is that Kate isn't normally the picture of onscreen addiction. Was that one of the things that drew you to the role?
Absolutely. Even if you take the addiction part away, just having a character who is so fully imagined -- who is a lead female protagonist -- who is messed up, but likable and real ... just that alone was totally different than the typical thing I read.

Is that frustrating for you as an actress?
Yes. Even now, it's scary because I'm like, "Will I ever find a role like this again?" It comes along so rarely, and when it does come along, there's so many great actresses who are looking for that. The competition -- and not to put it in competitive terms, because I love all the incredible actresses -- but it becomes very competitive and very hard to wedge your foot in the door. I never imagined I would get this part. When I read the script I was like, "Every Oscar winning actress is going to want this!" And I'm the only person they auditioned. It was this incredible thing that happened -- I feel so lucky.

So, how did it all happen?
For whatever reason, I was one of the first people who read the script. I think they had actually envisioned it with someone who was more of a comedian when they were writing it. But I had met with Jonathan Schwartz, who is the executive producer, and I had been really trying to meet people who were doing small, independent films and discovering new voices and directors. I was trying to get into that world very badly. I just met with him and said, "Whatever script you have, please send them to me. Please let me read them. Please let me audition for them." He sent me a couple of scripts and one of them was "Smashed." I read it and immediately called him and said, "Tell me what I should do to be considered." I had no idea, but James Ponsoldt was already a fan of mine from "Scott Pilgrim." I took a meeting with him and we got along really well. It was an incredibly simple, wonderful thing that never happens. [Laughs.]

The film casts a lot of funny actors -- Nick Offerman, Octavia Spencer, Megan Mullally -- in fairly serious roles that still have moments of levity. Was it hard to keep that balance?
For me it was scary. Because it is such a serious subject matter and the script is very funny, and that's something I loved about it. As an actor taking on a role, however, you can't think about the comedy. It has to just play out in a natural way. It has to work naturally without pushing for the laughs. It's not like a sitcom where you're like, "OK, I'm going to play this beat and then this beat is going to be like ba-dum-bum." It just had to be something that magically worked in the audience response. That's what you hope for. I didn't know if any of the comedy was going to play or not. Luckily having the people around -- having such fun, funny voices around me all the time, sort of helped all that click. I'm amazed it all plays so well.

There's a very naturalistic feeling to "Smashed." At times it feels like you and Aaron aren't even working with a script.
It was all very free. James wanted us to say whatever we felt like saying. For the most part what he did is he left the camera rolling the whole time. So most of what you see in the film is scripted -- there are maybe a couple of lines here and there that snuck in -- but I think part of the reason it feels so real is that it felt like the camera was always rolling. We were always in character and we were always going off script and back on and off and back on. So it never felt like: "Cut! We're ourselves now." It didn't have that break: "We're going to go back to our trailer, see you later." It was never like that. We were always on set, we were always in character, we were always working toward making it authentic.

How much research did you do for the role?
There's so much AA in the film, I felt like I really needed to see what that's like. Luckily it's co-written by someone in recovery, so I had a resource there. Also one of our producers, Elise Salomon, has been in recovery for many years. I had both of them to take me to meetings and to welcome me in -- to open meetings, always. It was great. My first couple of weeks researching the character were a lot of AA meetings. That was a great first step to figuring her out and figuring out how much I related to her. If you took alcohol out of the equation, I fit right there in those rooms and my stories could be the same as their stories.

"Death Proof" is a perpetually underrated Quentin Tarantino film, and it's also one of your first breakout roles. How was that experience?
It was amazing. That was a huge deal for me. I had only done a couple of films before that and they were mostly in the genre territory -- but a different kind of genre. To have Quentin Tarantino even know I existed was a huge deal. It was a great confidence booster for me at the time, because he loves actors so much that he will take you aside and go, "Here are all the things that are great about you as an actor." And you're just like, "Oh my God! You just made my entire life!" It was wonderful and he was amazing to work with and so much fun and so passionate about film. It will always be a highlight of my career, forever.

You're also reprising your role as John McClane's daughter in "A Good Day to Die Hard."
I'm in it, yeah. I loved that part when I played it. I really felt connected to being John McClane's daughter. So, it's fun to revisit it. I'm in "A Good Day to Die Hard" very briefly; there's not a lot I can say because I wasn't really there for most of it. But it was really exciting. It's great to be part of the McClane family tree.

The "American Idol" feud between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj has been generating headlines for well over a week, and according to Carey's husband Nick Cannon, that's exactly what Fox executives wanted to happen. Cannon hit the talk show circuit Tuesday and shared his theory that the feud is being used by "American Idol" producers to generate interest and ratings.

The"America's Got Talent" host implied that he believes "Idol" producers were the ones who leaked the video of the argument to TMZ. "I believe it was real to the extent that it actually happened," Cannon told the ladies of "The View." "If you ask my opinion, I've produced tons of television, and I don't know anybody who can stand with a camera phone right in front of the monitor and record it and nobody say anything, and then it just magically gets on TMZ."

Cannon expanded on his thoughts in an interview with HuffPost Live. "My wife is the classiest and strongest woman I've ever known ... She's been through a lot worse in her career than some rapper getting loud with her ... I was more disappointed with the way the producers and the network handled the situation," he said. "It feels really contrived.

"Everybody has arguments, everybody gets into situations, and to kind of promote that for ratings, I think that's distasteful ... I think we got a glimpse of a moment of frustration, I don't think there's a real beef," Cannon continued.

Cannon also clarified an earlier report that Carey was angry when she first learned that Minaj would be joining the "Idol" judging panel, and again pointed the finger at Fox for leaking reports of her displeasure:

"Mariah and Nicki were close ... Mariah put her in her video and they did songs together. She sent us a wonderful baby gift when our kids were born. But I think what happened ... and I blame this on Fox again. When Mariah was hired to do "American Idol," she was being courted by every competition show out there, but she chose the one that she felt was the classier show ... and she thought it would be the same way she's seen it in the past, two guys and one girl. So when you hear that there's going to be someone else, of course that comes to you as a surprise ... But I think after she got over the initial idea, and it was someone that she knew, she was fine with it ... Again, someone put that seed out there that, 'Oh, Mariah's upset.' She's bigger than that. She's not worried about being upset. I think she was misled by the powers-that-be, and that probably created a lot of frustration."

When I tell people I'm a surrogate for the Obama campaign, I usually get a bemused smile, a cocked head and the question, "What does that mean?" to which I jokingly reply with a straight face, "I'm carrying the President's baby."

I signed up in July because I thought my little bit of celebrity and the fact that I'm fluent in Spanish could be of some help. Four trips to swing states and many early morning radio interviews later, I'm beginning to see how true that "carrying the President's baby" joke really is.

I'm beginning to experience a lot of the perks and pains of pregnancy. I have the glow, the gratitude and courtesy of people (usually reserved for pregnant women), the swollen feet and backaches from hoofing it door to door or standing all day at local campaign offices, as well as the morning sickness which I felt the day after the first debate. Not to mention the barrage of calls and emails from everyone wanting to make sure "the baby" was all right.

So why do it? I have a busy enough life; I'm on a TV show and have a day job as the west coast fundraiser for GLSEN (The Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network). Plus I have a husband and a family of three critters that require lots of care.

Simply put, I'm gay, Latino and an immigrant so this President has displayed his love for me many times over, I though it was my turn to give it back. I have two sisters and a mother who's a senior and depends on her hard earned Medicare and Social Security. If I did not do everything within my power to stop Romney/Ryan from taking office, I would be a traitor to everything I hold dear, my husband, my mother, my sisters and my country. Yeah, I think they are that bad!

The setback that Romeny/Ryan would bring to women, gays and seniors, not to mention the middle class and the poor, are untenable to me. Plus I'm worried about my Republican friends who don't seem to realize that unless they are millionaires, Romney's economic plans are not in their best interests either.

So I've been out stumping. I always show up with a prepared speech, which inevitably goes by the wayside when one of the local volunteers shares a personal reason for fighting the good fight and I find myself fumbling my way through why I'm there since they seem to have matters well in hand.

Such was the case two weeks ago in Colorado when a man in his late 40's, who is a block leader, got up and shared how he and his partner, who had AIDS, had been traveling when his partner became ill on the trip. His conditioned worsened and this man was not allowed to go to his love's bedside to say goodbye before he passed. He was told, "Family only in the ICU."

Having lived through something similar in the '80s during Reagan's shameful handling of the AIDS crisis, I was almost too moved to speak. This local hero is volunteering seven days a week to make sure Obama gets re-elected. He eloquently outlined all of the monumental progress we have made on gay rights in the past four years and there was not a dry eye in the room.

The bottom line is that Romney is cynically and dishonestly hiding his real positions on an array of critical issues, but voters won't be fooled because he's been running on them for years. Take, for example, Romney's abortion lie yesterday, which makes this fact particularly clear.

So how are we going to make sure this baby is delivered safe and sound on November 6th?Work, work, work. Contribute, volunteer, talk to other voters and tell them why this is the most important election in our lives. It's time to stop wringing our hands over Romney's dance around the truth at the debate and use those hands to start ringing some doorbells.

ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars" may not be returning for the latter half of Season 3 until 2013, but in the meanwhile, there's the highly-anticipated Halloween special coming up on Tues., Oct. 23 at 8 p.m.

Check out four sneak peek clips from the special below to see Hanna (Ashley Benson), Aria (Lucy Hale), Spencer (Troian Bellisario) and Emily's (Shay Mitchell) costumes, find out who chokes during the festivities and see what Mona's (Janel Parish) been up to below.

Mona is still at Radley, but she's not quite so quiet while she's alone. She's painting a bust -- with some smeared lipstick, or blood? -- and talks about how much she loves Halloween, as she looks at her notorious black hoodie. "Tricks and treats, treats that turn into tricks. It's better than Christmas," she eerily says in the sneak peek below.

Apparently, Spencer and Toby are going as Lauren Bacall and Walter Brennan in the 1944 classic "To Have and Have Not" because at the start of this clip, she tells him, "If you need me, just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you?" Unfortunately, the preppy little liar is still with Toby, who was revealed as part of the A team in the Season 3 fall finale. We also find out that Garrett is apparently missing, but before we learn what happened to the officer-turned-suspect, someone starts to choke at the party.

Guest star Adam Lambert, the performer on the Halloween party train, stops to chat with a lonely-looking Aria, who's sans Ezra. He asks her her name as another train whizzes by so due to the noise, Aria writes her name with her finger on the window. Something tells us this will come back to haunt her. Someone, presumably A, in a frightening jester mask is looking on. S/he has some white powder in his/her ring. What could it be?

In the final Halloween sneak peek clip, Emily finally pops up and the girls and their significant others -- sans Ezra (Ian Harding) and Caleb (Tyler Blackburn)-- dance around as Adam Lambert takes the stage.

Tune in for the complete "Pretty Little Liars" Halloween special airs on Tues., Oct. 23 at 8 p.m.

I can hear you snigger, and yes even I find it difficult to put Kardashian in the same sentence as one of literature's greatest familial creations. But when part of my job is to document the activities of Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall and Kylie I can't help but see the similarities between the Ks and the Bs.

And I don't just mean that there are five sisters in each clan.

Last week some pictures of Kylie Jenner landed on my desk and I was asked to write a fashion story on the outfit she wore to a Justin Bieber concert. The just turned 15-year old was wearing skin-tight red leather trousers a (lacy) bra-exposing black vest and stilettos.

I certainly didn't see outfits like that in the Tammy girl window when I was 15.

The reality family's youngest member has been rocking a number of these age-inappropriate outfits, with the news angle suggesting she's emulating her older sister Kim. But when I look at Kylie dressed up as a woman twice her age, I can't help but see Lydia Bennet.

The youngest of the Bennet sisters, she constantly tries to compete with her elder siblings through the fashionable items she covets and the attention of men she seeks. And what was Polite Society of those times if not the reality show of ours, with men and women constantly under the spotlight, being scrutinised for every fashion choice, every comment and every relationship for the ultimate prize of social status.

Societal breeding has been usurped by celebrity as the social currency of today, and with the Kardashians domination of reality TV their shares are unworthily high. So it's not surprising that the young Kylie and Kendall - daughters of Kris Jenner's second husband Bruce - wanted to join Team K and reap the materialistic rewards that come with exposing your personal life to public scrutiny.

And with this, I think back to Austen and Lizzy Bennet's retort to Lady Catherine De Burgh who finds it 'very odd' that all five sisters are out in society at once:

'But really, Ma'am, I think it would be very hard upon younger sisters, that they should not have their share of society and amusement because the elder may not have the means or inclination to marry early. The last born has as good a right to the pleasures of youth, as the first. And to be kept back on such a motive! I think it would not be very likely to promote sisterly affection or delicacy of mind.'

Ok, maybe the elder sisters have more than a few marriages under their belt, but the sentiment is the same. However, in today's world of Twitpics and Paparazzi there are more opportunities for our younger siblings to expose themselves than in pre-technological revolution England.

For me, one of the most striking similarities is between the matriarchs of the factual and fictional families.

Mrs Bennet is an overbearing, over-sharing social climber of a mother, hell bent on getting her daughters married off to the most eligible bachelor.

Swap the arranged marriages for superficial business deals and public appearances and you've pretty much summed up Kris Jenner to a tee. Not to mention her husband Bruce acting just as passively as Mrs Bennet's other half.

And Rob - I'm sorry - that makes you Mr Collins, who is 'not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been but little assisted by education or society.'

Not a bad shout then.

But when Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice nearly 200 years ago, she wasn't praising the pursuit of social elevation and wealth but actually attacking it, as well as ineffectual parents failing to guide their children onto the right path.

And if memory serves (it should - I've ready the novel several times) young Lydia ignorantly falls into a slapdash marriage that will lead to her eventual unhappiness, no thanks to her complacent mother and father.

Kim has already suffered two failed marriages and a sex tape scandal and Kourtney has struggled with her partner Scott's wandering eye.

So the way Kylie's going there's not much stopping her from following in he sisters' footsteps.

Therefore maybe it's not too much of a stretch to consider the Kardashian clan as the modern day Bennet family, but for the sake of the youngest members let's hope it's not too late to rewrite their story.

A 14-year-old Powell River, B.C., boy currently facing his fourth open heart surgery saw a dream come true — meeting music superstar and teen heart-throb Justin Bieber.

Bieber performed Wednesday night at Rogers Arena in downtown Vancouver.

Following a vigorous Twitter campaign, Derek Russell received a call Wednesday afternoon to arrange a meeting with the pop superstar.

Russell's mother Allison Metzner says her son takes comfort in Bieber's music.

"I think it just kind of takes him away — he gets in the groove and he forgets about what is going on in his life."

Russell has Down syndrome and is set to undergo his fourth open-heart surgery — one he might not survive.

"I like Justin Bieber," the teen told CBC News. "He is nice and he is my buddy."

While meeting Bieber was a dream come true for Russell, Metzner believes her son will take it all in stride.

"I just think Derek would think [Bieber is] like the guy next door. He doesn't get the magnitude of this whole thing," Metzner said.

"He'd be excited but he'd be like, 'Hey buddy.' I don't think he'd completely come unglued … and I think it would be a really positive experience for him."

As Russell prepares for more time in the hospital, Metzner says it's comforting to know he'll always remember the day he got to meet his idol.

When you're an actor, you have to be willing to do whatever it takes to nab that dream role -- including dropping and gaining weight to portray a character.

And that's exactly what some of Hollywood's biggest stars have done.

From George Clooney and Matt Damon to Charlize Theron and Renee Zellweger, celebrities have packed on the pounds (and we're talking serious, serious pounds) for films they are truly invested in.

But a little cellulite never hurt anyone, especially when all those cupcakes and donuts put you in the running for an Academy Award.

Check out 15 stars who've chowed down for movie roles:

I received an email from Beyoncé the other day. The subject line read, "I don't usually email you." That's for sure. I've never received an email from Beyoncé. How did she know my email address, let alone my name?

I'm some poor schlub from the San Fernando Valley whose only previous encounter with Beyoncé was watching her sing "Bootylicious" on MTV, hoping my wife wasn't offended by my buffoonish grin.

And now she's emailing me? I could've died.

She said in her email that she wanted me to "meet up" with her and Jay-Z to spend an evening with President Obama in New York City. "We want you to be there," she wrote.

Really? Nebbishy me? There must be a mistake. I don't have any star power. I'm not a musician. And I'm a terrible dancer. Maybe her email was intended for someone else.

My heart started to race. I fantasized about Beyoncé and me leaving our respective spouses and starting a life together in some ramshackle flat in Paris.

But as I continued reading her email, I realized there were strings attached. Here's what she said: "If you can pitch in $4 or whatever you can (to the Obama campaign), you'll be automatically entered to be flown out to join us."

My heart sank.

This was the first time Beyoncé had ever emailed me, and she was already soliciting me for money. Way to cultivate a relationship, Beyoncé.

But there's more. She said the airfare and hotel would be taken care of, and that I could bring a guest. She then inserted a hyperlink to a donation form.

Now I really felt used.

With a heavy heart, I continued to read her email. The last sentence read, "Can't wait to meet you!" And then she signed her note, "Love, B." Can you believe that? Beyoncé signed her note, "Love, B." What kind of heartless, sadistic person would lead someone on with the L-word, only to dash their dreams with a freakin' hyperlink to a donation form for Obama?

Sorry, Beyoncé, but as you said in your song, "Single Ladies," this boy would never put a ring on it, and by "it" I mean your finger.

After processing this with my therapist, I realized that Beyoncé's email wasn't the only reason for my disillusioned heart. Believe it or not, I have received dozens of personal emails from Barack and Michelle during the last several months.

For example, Barack sent me an email on June 11, 2012 with the subject line, "Meet me for dinner." He then wrote, "I hope you'll take me up on the offer," which was followed by a hyperlink to make a donation. He also said, "I've got you" and "I'm saving you a seat."

On June 21, 2012, I received an email from Michelle with the subject line, "Fly out to meet us." The first lady was inviting me to a "casual dinner," a very nice gesture, indeed. But again, the invite was followed by a hyperlink to a donation form.

I replied to an email from Barack on August 17. He was asking me for a donation and saying if he wins the election, it's because of me. So I responded, "can't we just go out for pancakes?"

He never wrote back.

On Sept. 7, 2012, I received an email from Michelle under the subject line, "Evan, you're amazing ... Barack and I felt your energy up there," which I'm assuming was the stage at the Democratic National Convention. But I wasn't at the convention, nor did I watch it on TV. I was lying in bed warding off a migraine with a bag of frozen peas draped over my forehead.

And finally, how about the email from Barack dated Sept. 17 with the subject line, "I'm saving a seat for Evan." In the email, the president said, "I want to meet you. I want to thank you in person. And I'd love to hear what's on your mind."

You can guess what happened next.

Barack wrote that if I can donate $25 or whatever I'm able to chip in, I am automatically entered to meet him for dinner. "Flight and hotel are on us. All you have to do is come and eat."

Thanks, Barack. Will Beyoncé be there?

Your friend,

Evan

Coming out of the closet after years of marriage isn't easy. But a number of celebrities have bravely made the leap, opening up about their sexuality after being in a committed heterosexual relationships for years.

To celebrate National Coming Out Day, we've assembled a list of five celebs who came out after their marriages ended. Click through to see who they are.

NEW YORK — One of the few couples from ABC's "The Bachelor" franchise to marry is now expecting their first child. Jason and Molly Malaney Mesnick's baby is due in March.

People.com first reported the news. Thirty-six-year-old Jason Mesnick confirmed the report on Twitter saying, `WAHOOOOOOOO!!! Molly is going to be a MOM and TY a BIG BROTHER!" Mesnick's son Ty is from a previous marriage.

Twenty-eight-year-old Molly Mesnick also took to Twitter saying they were excited "about the pint size peanut on the way."

The couple met on the 13th season of "The Bachelor." Molly was actually the runner-up to the winner Melissa Rycroft. Mesnick proposed to Rycroft but ended up breaking up later, saying he still had feelings for Molly. The two married in February 2010.

Ben Affleck's "Argo" is currently the toast of Hollywood, as movie writers and critics stumble over themselves to praise at the based-on-a-true-story thriller. On Wednesday night, however, Bill O'Reilly had a slightly different take. His main question, parsed over nearly the entirety of Affleck's visit to the "No-Spin Zone": What is an avowed liberal doing making a film about perhaps the tensest moment in Iran-U.S. relations?

"Argo" focuses on an intricate plot drummed up by the CIA, after the organization is tasked with extracting six Americans from Iran. Another 52 Americans were held after being captured in a 1979-81 takeover of the United States embassy in Iran, but this group of six took refuge in the Canadian ambassador's personal residence -- until a CIA exfiltration expert came in and swept them out.

The heroes in the story, then, are the CIA and the U.S. intelligence services. As O'Reilly points out, it's surprising a liberal actor would make a "valentine to the intelligence community -- the same people who waterboarded, the same people who rendition-ed."

"I don't worry too much about what my liberal friends are going to say," Affleck said. When pressed by O'Reilly ("In the back of your mind, you didn't say, 'Look, I'm glorifying some people who maybe did bad things'?"), Affleck doubled down: "I've been to the CIA. I met Gen. Petraeus. These are extraordinary, honorable people at the CIA. Make no mistake about it."

Though he collapses a few decades, O'Reilly's question is worth asking. Given the current tensions between the Iran and the United States (and Israel), making a film about an act of Iranian aggression could easily be seen as adding fuel to a fire that's already spread to the floor of the United Nation's General Assembly.

Affleck -- who said he is voting for Obama -- brushed aside the notion that the film could be used as right-wing propaganda in an interview with The Huffington Post:

"I tried to make a movie that is absolutely just factual. And that's another reason why I tried to be as true to the story as possible -- because I didn't want it to be used by either side. I didn't want it to be politicized internationally or domestically in a partisan way. I just wanted to tell a story that was about the facts as I understood them. And what that meant was probably two people with different political perspectives would walk away with two different interpretations. Because I find, most times, your interpretation depends on what you went into the situation believing. And I think people will use things. You know, it's like, if people want to misrepresent something, they'll do it anyway. You can't worry about that too much.

It seems as though Bill O'Reilly, of all people, thinks you can worry too much about your film being used as fodder for war hawks.

Gwyneth Paltrow looks gorgeous as can be as she enters Elio's restaurant for a party last week in New York City.

Ben Affleck is getting the best reviews of his career for "Argo," the third feature film he's directed since an adaptation of Dennis Lehane's "Gone Baby Gone" in 2007. According to Deadline.com, Affleck may go back to Lehane's prose for his next film, an adaptation of "Live by Night."

Should he direct, "Live by Night" would return Affleck to the Boston streets of his pre-"Argo" efforts "Gone Baby Gone" and "The Town." Unlike those contemporary films, however, Lehane's novel takes place in the 1920s.

Affleck has remained busy at Warner Bros., the studio behind "The Town," "Argo" and now "Live By Night." He was rumored to direct "Justice League" for WB earlier this year, but shot down those reports back in August.

"I'm not working on the 'Justice League,'" Affleck told the Canadian outlet 24 Hours. "One of the problems with entertainment web sites is that they need to fill pages, and that's how rumors get started. 'Justice League' sounds really exciting, but it's not something I'm working on."

One project he is working on is a biopic of infamous Boston mob boss Whitey Bulger, a film that he would direct with Matt Damon set to star. Unfortunately, that film isn't close to going in front of the camera.

"My guess is honestly, [it'll be] the movie after next," Affleck told The Playlist about the mob movie. "I'll probably find something that's in better shape to do next until we got that one ready, and then we'll go ahead and fire that one up. [...] We're in the process writing it, the script is not ready yet, it needs a lot more work."

Terrence Winter ("Boardwalk Empire") is working on the Whitey Bulger script.

It's been 35 years since Elvis has left the building, but this Beverly Hills mansion will always be known as the late singer's home.

The property, located in the exclusive Trousdale Estates neighborhood, was listed for $12.9 million Wednesday after having been available for lease at $25,000 per month, notes real estate blog Trulia.

While it isn't the official mecca for fans of the late King of Rock 'n' Roll, people have made treks from all over the world to see the home that Presley shared with his wife, Priscilla Presley, and their daughter Lisa Marie.

A gate on the property serves as a monument to all the fans that have made the pilgrimage -- and a fairly clear warning that whoever scoops up this home should be prepared for celebrity home tours and fans to continue visiting for years to come.

In fact, people have been camping out in front of this home even before Presley passed away. An Elvis Presley fan site tells the story of a couple from North Yorkshire, England who visited the King's home in June of 1968. They reportedly rang the bell and a butler came outside to greet them. Later that day, the couple got to meet Presley as he was backing out of his driveway, taking photos with him as he sat in his car. It sounds like every superfan's dream -- and a homeowner's nightmare.

It's exactly those kind of encounters that Priscilla Presley wanted to avoid when she selected the home, a gated property at the end of the street. Design magazine Architectural Digest writes that "an adamant Priscilla Presley" handpicked the Beverly Hills mansion after persistant fans discovered they could peer into the windows of their Bel-Air home.

Still, perhaps the renovations that the property has undergone will be enough to persuade someone to put up with a little fandom nuisance every now and then. The four bedroom, five bathroom home has a fresh coat of paint, new flooring, a new kitchen and laundry room and a resurfaced pool and spa, according to the official listing.

After two days off in Nashville, Team DR is once again out on the open road. As much as I appreciate having time to relax and catch up with friends on days off, I still can't wait to get back on stage and perform. Nothing beats the rush that comes from singing my songs night after night under the lights with my band.

That said, this particular stopover was still really fun. We hit Nashville's famed Music Row on Sunday night for BBQ and followed that up with an impromptu karaoke throw down at a real deal country bar. Everyone on the team got up and sang something, with a few of us even going back for seconds! My first attempt (alongside drummer Sonny Guy) was the Bowie/Queen classic "Under Pressure," which I certainly thought I knew better before actually trying to sing it out loud. Isn't that always the case? All those ad-libbed "bum-ba-bum-hey" parts really threw me off. Fortunately, I redeemed myself later on with a fairly solid tribute to Roy Orbison's "You Got It."

Last night a few of us went back to The Mercy Lounge (the club we played a few nights earlier with Stars) to catch the Dinosaur Jr. show. We were lucky that the promoters graciously put us on the guest list, because by the time we arrived at the venue it was jammed. Dino J. isn't really my thing, but it's always nice to catch a bit of crazy guitar shredding here and there. We left the show a bit early, wanting to avoid having our ears ringing for the duration of the next day's sound check. Those guys play loud!

This morning, my roommate Graham Van Pelt and I took advantage of our hotel's exercise room facilities -- which is something I really like to do on days when I'm not sweating it out on stage. It's also the only time I really ever watch TV, and I was treated to an awesome documentary on Canada's own Terry Fox. If any of you are ever looking for ways to make yourselves feel athletically inadequate, I'd suggest watching footage of a 22-year-old man with one leg running daily marathons across Canada as you struggle to last just 22 minutes on an elliptical trainer in an air-conditioned hotel gym. Terry is truly inspiring.

Now that we're deep into our own marathon of sorts, I'm hoping to bring some of that inspiration with me on the stage tonight in Louisville, Kentucky. We're back on the grind, and I wouldn't want it any other way!

The Vampire Diaries" (Season 4 premieres Thurs., Oct. 11 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW) left viewers on edge with the knowledge that Elena (Nina Dobrev) is now what she's long tried to avoid -- a vampire -- and things in Mystic Falls will never be the same.

In the "Vampire Diaries" Season 3 finale, Elena told Stefan (Paul Wesley) to save her friend and ex-boyfriend Matt's (Zach Roerig) life, after the two got in a car crash -- thanks to Rebekah (Claire Holt) -- leaving them at the bottom of the same body of water where Elena's parents died and in the same fashion.

In Season 4, a lot obviously changes, not only for Elena. "'Vampire Diaries' will forever be different after Season 4," Roerig told HuffPost TV via phone. Below, the actor who plays Mystic Fall's lone human talks about the debt Matt feels he owes to Elena (and letting her feed on him), his volatile relationship with Damon (Ian Somerhalder), which character he hopes to have aggressive sex with, new love interests and why the "Vampire Diaries" audience will not be seeing the "Poor Matt" they've come to know anymore.

We didn't see Matt gain consciousness in the Season 3 finale. Will we see his immediate reaction after the crash in Season 4?
No, we won't see what happens to Matt right after the crash. We kind of jump right into everyone panicking about Elena being a vampire. But we do see Matt's feelings towards Elena becoming a vampire and that's guilt and now wanting to repay that debt to her.

Matt has become a real confidant for Elena. She opened up to him about her feelings for Stefan and Damon. How does her becoming a vampire change their dynamic?
I think she'll confide in Matt even more so now. Elena and Matt's friendship has always been kind of one that was always understood, that we didn't really see, but that we know took place throughout their childhood. And now, with Elena giving up her life for Matt and Matt sacrificing himself at times for her, I think this is a rekindled friendship and you see them grow closer together. You know, she has Caroline (Candice Accola), she has Bonnie (Kat Graham), she has all these other friends to talk to, but regarding the Salvatore brothers, I don't think any of them are that keen to the Salvatore brothers. So I'd say she comes to Matt, if need be.

Since Matt is still miraculously human, what role can he play in her transition?
I think the hardest part of Elena's transition is going to be feeding and not being able to do it the Stefan way. She just has a hard time doing it, so as hard as it is for Matt to bring himself to do it, he allows her to feed from him. And that's huge. That's really huge. It's kind of evening the scales a bit.

What's Matt's relationship like with Stefan as a result of the crash? He saved Matt's life, but as a result, Elena's a vampire. He must be pretty pissed.
Well, I don't think Stefan really is that pissed. He knows that to be human you need to keep your free will. He honored Elena's choice to save me and he's kind of OK with that because that's how much he really loves Elena. But I do think that Matt's going to be kind of perturbed with Stefan that he did save him and not Elena. You can look forward to Stefan basically telling him to put up or shut up, so to speak.

And what's his relationship like with Damon?
Well, it starts off a bit aggressive. Damon is furious that Matt was saved and not Elena and Damon can be a bit impulsive so you can look for Damon to try to hurt Matt right from the get-go. But now, the one thing I have in my corner is an awesome vampire bodyguard. Elena will try to keep Damon off my back. But what's interesting is that as the season's going on, things switch up a little bit because Matt's reaction to being told to put up or shut up and to be a man and help out whatever way he can, he kind of earns some respect from Damon. There's a moment when Damon gives Matt the "Attaboy."

What about Matt and Rebekah?
He definitely has a lot of resentment towards her. I think even though Matt's able to see the smallest bit of human in anyone, he still just can't see past what Rebekah's done -- that she put them in that predicament, that Elena's now a vampire or else it would have meant that he was dead. I just don't think that's anything that he can shrug off. Me, personally -- and this is covering a bunch of different areas of Matt's storyline -- I think that Matt and Rebekah should have some aggressive sex scenes, just get it out of their system, and then maybe he can be cool with her.

It sounds like there's going to be a lot of that aggressive sex this season.
Oh, it's all over the place.

Will what Tyler (Michael Trevino) went through in the Season 3 finale bring him and Matt closer?
Yeah. I mean, I think Matt and Tyler's relationship is interesting. As much as Tyler does to kind of piss Matt off and make him turn away from him, he still sees that childhood best buddy that he always had and kind of always gives Tyler the benefit of the doubt. Now that Matt's becoming more involved in things, I think they're going to be cooler with each other. We haven't really worked together much at all so far this year, but our characters are definitely on the same team.

Do you like that Matt's managed to miraculously remain human?
I love it. I love it. I think that it would be a mistake for the show and for Matt's storyline if he were to change from being a human at this point. A) It has a grounding effect on the show. And B) It's just a really relatable point for everyone. Our show is awesome because it's a great escape from real life -- there's all of this crazy stuff going on in kind of a normal setting. And then, there's this guy living a pretty much regular life with regular problems other than what his friends are going through.

I feel a lot of the audience reaction to that is, "Aw. Poor Matt."
Yeah. I think this season is ending the "Poor Matt" role that we've known him in. I can't really say too much, but good things happen for him.

Matt has dated pretty much every female character on the show. Will there be someone new for him?
Here's the thing: I don't think Matt's going to have any romantic interests, but there are going to be some girls that are romantically interested in Matt.

Are they characters that we know or new characters?
New. New and old. I think there's always that lingering thing between Rebekah and Matt where she wants to feel like a human and Matt is the closest thing to human on the show. So I think that's always there, but I think there might be a new crush happening on Matt.

It was so great the video that the "Vampire Diaries" cast made for Gabby Douglas and then everyone was so excited to hear she'd be coming on the show. Did she film her guest spot yet?
Yeah, she did and she is the sweetest little girl. I sat and chatted with her and her mother and her sister in the hair and make-up trailer for a little while. I unfortunately didn't have any scenes with her, but it was neat to be there when she came.

What else can you say about Season 4?
Season 4 is definitely the game changer. "Vampire Diaries" will forever be different after Season 4.

"The Vampire Diaries" Season 4 premieres on Wednesday, October 11 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

"Can I be honest with you? I am bad news." So begins the second theatrical trailer for "Zero Dark Thirty," Kathryn Bigelow's much-anticipated follow-up to Oscar-winning "The Hurt Locker."

This time around, of course, the topic is the hunt for Osama bin Laden. A tense new spot hit the internet on Thursday, and while it's gripping from the start, it's a final-frame glimpse at the movie's representation of the raid on bin Laden's compound that will have audiences wanting more.

Watch the trailer above. More on the controversial film -- which stars Jessica Chastain, Mark Strong, Jason Clarke and Chris Pratt -- is available below, excerpted from our earlier coverage:

"This is an amazing story about the triumph of will, dedication, and duty," Bigelow wrote to Anthony Breznican of Entertainment Weekly. "[It’s] about the real life heroes in the intelligence community who worked behind the scenes day and night on what was perhaps the toughest assignment of their lives. As such, it’s a story that needs to be told respectfully."

To that end, the release date of "Zero Dark Thirty" was moved from a pre-election calendar position of October to a post-election slot on Dec. 19. Not that the film hasn't already been a source of controversy: Last year, Republican congressman Peter King raised concerns over whether Bigelow and Boal had received classified information from the Obama administration.

Long before "Grey's Anatomy" and "House" ruled the airwaves, another medical soap was one of primetime's heaviest hitters: "St. Elsewhere," which ran on NBC from 1982-88. The show boasted many now-famous faces who got their big break in the halls of St. Eligius, including Helen Hunt, Mark Harmon, Howie Mandel, Ed Begley, Jr. and Denzel Washington.

"Good Morning America" (Weekdays, 7 a.m. ET on ABC) caught up with the cast 30 years after the successful drama came to a controversial close, sharing some insider info on what it was like to work on one of the most beloved series of all time (it was nominated for 63 Emmys -- winning 13 -- during its run).

One tidbit we gleaned from the GMA segment? That one of the show's most successful alums was quite the prankster on set ... Apparently, Howie Mandel loved to play tricks on his fellow cast-members; on one occasion a fellow actor went on vacation, so Mandel listed his house for sale. We wonder if he's tried to do anything similar to the crew on "Deal or No Deal?"
