Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg flatly refused to co-operate when film bosses put together The Social Network. But tonight the young billionaire and his alter ego Jesse Eisenberg, who plays Zuckerberg on screen, made amends by coming face to face for the first time in public. Showing that he is game for a laugh after all, [...]
Rather then jumping into the planning of their wedding, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are in no rush to the aisle.
On Thursday (January 27), the ?True Beauty? babe told press, ?We?re enjoying being engaged. Everyone rushes to the next step, and I like this step.?
With that said, Ms Minnillo has not found her wedding dress just yet, but she is looking forward to it.
She explained, ?That?s the first time that Nick will see me come down the aisle. I’ll be most excited [about that process],” she gushed. “Not meticulous and not so obsessive, just more excited.?

TheYBF.com exclusively caught up with TV personalities Terrence J and Rocsi of BET’s "106 & Park" during a promotional photoshoot the pair shot in New York City.
Come inside to see what the duo have to say about their personal love lives, all the haters (not everyone loves Tasha Mack’s new man), and giving back to the community.
Although Terrence J and Rocsi of "106 & Park" enter the living rooms of millions of people every day, we still don’t know much about them. TheYBF.com’s Kourtney "K-Rich" Richardran up on the duo recently at a promo photoshoot for their show. And we got some exclusive behind the scenes pics and video of the besties.
As they changed in and out of fab looks from Giuseppe, Intermix, Top Shop, and H&M, we got Terrence to dish on the haters who aren’t feeling his role as "Tasha Mack"’s new man on "The Game", Dante, how they both tolerate negativity, and their philanthropic sides.
Despite being two of the most attractive correspondents on BET, both Terrence and Rocsi are single. Terrence says, "I’m not dating anybody right now. I’m so focused on my career." And as for those rumors about him dating Brandy…they are "just friends." *eyebrow raised*
And about those few people who aren’t feeling his role replacing Rick Fox on "The Game", he says he doesn’t hear or see them. People have been calling him "corny" for years and also said "106 & Park" wouldn’t last. And he proved them wrong then.
Meanwhile, Rocsi does find the time to date, but says she’s in the midst of a "drought" and hasn’t been able to find "the right one."
Outside of "106 & Park," Rocsi and Terrence are heavily involved in giving back to the community through charity.
Rocsi tells us:
"I have been dealing with my philanthropic side. Everybody knows RocStarRebuilds.org is my main passion. I’m always about giving back. I’m in talks of doing a charter school (in New Orleans) hopefully with an art and business program."
And Terrence has been raising money for the people of Haiti with Wyclef Jean. He spoke on his Haiti rebuild efforst saying:
"I feel that when you are in a position with a voice or a position of power I think it’s imperative that you give back. And the Haitian community really touched a nerve in me."
Watch our exclusive behind-the-scenes footage above of the twosome’s "106 & Park" photoshoot. And check out our photo gallery below for the first pics from their upcoming "106 & Park" promo shoot.

Which movies are fun for the whole family and which ones are treats just for you? Find out!
In theaters now…
The Rite Short Story: Loosely based on true events, The Rite chronicles the creepy tale of Michael Kovac (Colin O’Donoghue), a seminary student sent to study exorcism at the Vatican. Once there, he challenges the beliefs of his superiors in favor of applied natural science. However, when he is put on a bone-chilling case with the unorthodox Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins), Michael begins to warily question his own by-the-book convictions.
What They’re Saying: "For an hour The Rite, as scripted by Michael Petroni, delivers the expected, but with panache… The supporting cast is unusually strong…" – Chicago Tribune
"A largely low-key, intelligent effort." – Variety
Good For Kids? The Rite tells a supernatural story that is eerily child-unfriendly.
The Mechanic Short Story: Transporter star Jason Stathamis back to dole out more big-screen butt-whippings gun-toting ‘mechanic’ (that’s inside jargon for "assassin") Arthur Bishop, who finds himself in a bind when his mentor and close friend Harry (Donald Sutherland) is murdered. The usually stoic Bishop is determined to find his friend’s killer, but things get complicated when the seasoned assassin warily takes Harry’s equally vengeful son Steve (Ben Foster) under his wing.
What They’re Saying: "Statham, the British star of The Transporter and Crank films and an old favorite of Guy Ritchie, has a quietly fierce physicality, a stylish masculinity that makes him appealing to both men and women." – Associated Press
"If more dutiful than dynamic, it does fix what was previously broke, making over its subpar predecessor into a generic yet serviceable Statham vehicle." – Slant Magazine
Good For Kids? The Mechanic will keep the kids on the edge of their seats — as they prepare to flee the violent onscreen spectacle.
From Prada to Nada Short Story: From Prada to Nadais a playful Latin spin on Jane Austen’s classic novel Sense and Sensibility.
All is well for sisters Nora (Camilla Belle) and Mary Domiguez (Alexa Vega). They’re young, spoiled and reside in one of the country’s richest zip codes: 90210. That is until their rich father passes away, leaving them penniless. With nowhere to turn, the two sisters must leave Beverly Hills for their estranged aunt’s home in East Los Angeles. Suddenly, Nora and Mary find themselves trading cars for bus passes and, more importantly, learning to accept the culture and family they have kept at arm’s length.
What They’re Saying: From Prada to Nada has not yet been reviewed by critics.
Good For Kids? Yes! From Prada to Nada undoubtedly keeps the lessons coming.
In case you missed…
No Strings Attached Short Story: Childhood friends, Adam (Ashton Kutcher) and Emma (Natalie Portman) risk everything when they have sex one morning. So, to salvage their friendship, the two make a pact to keep their relationship strictly friends-with-benefits, meaning "no strings attached" — and no falling in love. But when their romantic tryst unexpectedly heats up, Adam and Emma begin to wonder whether or not they can be "just friends."
What They’re Saying: "At times, No Strings Attached feels almost shockingly attuned to the particular angst of its time and place." – Village Voice
"It’s a movie benefiting from another sparkling, sexy and emotionally available performance by Natalie Portman, some clever turns in situations and witty banter that isn’t shy about crossing over into Hangover level raunchy." – Orlando Sentinel
Good For Kids? No Strings Attached makes for a great date night — not a play date.
The Way Back Short Story: Starring Colin Farrell, Jim Sturgess, and Ed Harris, The Way Back tells the story of seven prisoners who flee a Soviet labor camp and begin a 4,000 mile journey to freedom. Inspired by the book "The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom".
What They’re Saying: "That a production this ambitious has been financed and distributed outside the studio system throws a curveball to anyone who thinks "independent film" can mean only urban moderns sitting in an apartment bemoaning their ennui." – Los Angeles Times
"No one will go away disappointed or indifferent. It’s a movie that sticks with you like Elmer’s glue." – New York Observer
Good For Kids? For all its seriousness, The Way Back will have the kids begging for a way out.
The Company Men Short Story: When his company decides to downsize, Bobby Walker (Ben Affleck) and coworkers Phil Woodward (Chris Cooper) and Gene McClary (Tommy Lee Jones) are forced to reexamine their lives and what it means to be a man outside of the corporate world.
When Bobby begrudgingly takes a job building houses with his brother-in-law (Kevin Costner), he perhaps comes to the realization that there is more to life than chasing the American dream.
What They’re Saying: "This haunting movie hits you hard and right where you live." - Rolling Stone
"In its solid construction and resistance to the winds of fashion, The Company Men is one edifice that could outlast many an action blockbuster or standard inspirational drama, and maybe the Great Recession itself. " – TIMEMagazine
Good For Kids? As for The Company Men: let the kids be kids, and leave life’s conundrums to the big boys.
“I’m pregnant, and I’m really sick,” she tells The Times, with a laugh. “But I couldn’t say that because you really want to keep it as quiet as you can for the first trimester.”
Hollywood loves any story with a princess, a villain and a "happily ever after" — so it’s no surprise that a new Snow White and the Seven Dwarves movie is currently in the works. What is surprising is the actress who’s being courted to play the fair-skinned heroine: Twilight‘s Kristen Stewart. According to The Hollywood Reporter, producers of the new Snow White film have screen-tested tons of actresses, but they’ve got their hearts set on 20-year-old Stewart. Now they’re just hoping she says yes.
Okay — we love K-Stew, but let’s just state the obvious here: She’s not a Snow White type. Anne Hathaway is Snow White. Rachel McAdams is Snow White. Kristen Stewart is Snow White’s lesser-known sister, Muted Gray, who refuses to go to balls because she thinks petticoats are stupid.
Then again, is probably not the same Snow White story we’re all expecting. Titled Snow White and the Huntsman, the new version apparently has Snow taking matters into her own hands; the huntsman, wh…
by Michael David SmithThe first Strikeforce event of 2011 takes place on Friday in Tennessee, and it’s a Challengers card that has a good array of young talent and five fights on Showtime that should do a lot to identify some of the up-and-coming contenders on the Strikeforce roster.
What: Strikeforce Nashville Challengers: Woodley vs Saffiedine
When: Friday, the Showtime broadcast begins at 11 PM ET
San Diego Supercross. 1991. I knew that 1991 was going to be my last year racing supercross, because of the wrist injury I suffered at the Gainesville AMA National Motocross in 1989. Little did I know that San Diego would be my last ‘real’ supercross race.
In this video, you’ll see some of that last race. And you’ll see defending AMA Camel Supercross Champion Jeff Stanton, Damon Bradsahw, Jeff Ward, Jean-Michel Bayle, Guy Cooper, Bevo Forte, Broc Glover, and more.
The Fight Network presents a recap of K-1 – Dynamite!! Power of Courage 2010 featuring a heavyweight championship bout between Alistair Overeem and Todd Duffee and a featherweight championship bout between Bibiano Fernandes and Hiroyuki Takaya.
Trevor Prangley is not a young man, so at this point in his fight career he’s looking for challenges. It doesn’t matter if it comes at light heavyweight or his more natural weight class, middleweight. That’s why he didn’t hesitate in taking a fight against former heavyweight Roger Gracie at 205.
Prangley, 38, will meet Gracie on Saturday at Strikeforce in San Jose (Showtime, 10 p.m. ET/PT).
The South African downplayed a huge edge in MMA. He has 30 pro MMA fights to Gracie’s three. Prangley told Strikeforce.com:
"I think it will play a little bit of a part. But the guy has been on the world stage in jiu-jitsu so many times that I don’t think it will be as big of an advantage as people might think. He’s competed at a high level in jiu-jitsu and submission wrestling all over the world, and it’s the same concept, really. But Roger’s never really been hit, and I’m going to put it on him."
Prangley isn’t the most technical boxer, but he’s a hard punche…

There may be a huge age difference between Jeremy Piven and Miley Cyrus, but the So Undercover costars seem to have formed a bond on the set of their new film. "I think I must be an 18-year-old girl because we got along really well," Piven told Eonline.com. "It was just so much fun. I [...]

Herschel Walker’s MMA career continues to confuse those outside the sport. The former NFL and college star is attracting the eyes of many media members who haven’t bought into MMA as a legitimate sport, but at what cost? John Canzano can’t be the only newspaper columnist thinking the sport is a joke because it’s promoting a 48-year-old football star in the cage.
I want to like this sport. I want to understand it. I want to cover it, and write about it, and take it seriously. But how can I while the sport itself aims to be a circus?
Canzano wrote that in the Oregonian on Saturday in advance of Walker’s fight this coming weekend against someone named Scott Carson.
[...] This matchup is a joke. It feels like Tonya Harding boxing. And dwarf Eddie Gaedel having an at-bat for the St. Louis Browns in 1951. And it’s Chad Ocho Cinco racing against a horse.
Canzano then made sure to point out that Walker is fighting for Strikeforce not the UFC.

Jens Pulver once was the UFC lightweight champion, but his last win was in 2007 against Cub Swanson in the WEC. Since then, he has lost six times, including two losses to Urijah Faber. He righted the ship on Saturday night at XFO 38 outside Chicago, winning by rear naked choke over Mike Lindquist. The fight starts at about two minutes in.
Lindquist was on a losing streak of his own, with the Pulver fight his fifth loss in a row.
Fans and insiders alike seem to be very interested in the upcoming strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix, with many predicting that it will be a defining moment for the surging Strikeforce promotion. The tournament features a varied cast of characters that hail from locations all around the world. Hoping to capitalize on the international appeal of [...]
The blogosphere has turned into a daily bombardment of lists and slideshows. It’s one of my least favorite things about the Internet. If you want to debate the greatest this and the all-time that, fire away. I’ll pass for 99 percent of the time. The only lists I generally enjoy on the MMA side come from the fellas at Cage Potato. CP came up with another doozy as it went all Dirty.com chronicling the biggest [expletive] hounds in mixed martial arts.
Former UFC fighter Dean Lister is the first fighter listed:
Notes: ‘The Boogeyman’ is semi-retired from the sport these days, choosing instead to spend his time training hopeless cases. But in his prime, Dean Lister was just as notable for his ability to attract exotic beauties as he was for his in-cage exploits. Grappling ability plus a cartoonishly strong-looking jawline is a combination that women can’t resist, apparently.
Didn’t CP miss a few candidates? It’s shocking to see Clay Guida omitted from the list. He got a ton of run around UFC 125 for living in a van down by the river. Brian Stann was asked if he was ever invited to the big RV that serves as Guida’s home in Albuquerque. He responded by saying (2:40 mark), "I have not been to the Clay Guida RV. If I was better looking, maybe he’d invite me."
Matt Wiman brings it every fight and it paid off tonight at Fight for the Troops 2. He went hard from start to finish and overwhelmed Cole Miller. Wiman took a unanimous decision, 29-28, 30-27 and 30-27, in the first televised fight at Fight for the Troops 2 at Fort Hood in Killeen, Tx. Wiman [...]
It’s the 3rd Strike 3 for Tim Hague today, as he confirmed he’s been cut by UFC for the third time in his career. After being TKO’d by Matt Mitrione at UFC FFTT 2, Hague is now only 1-4 career in UFC. He said he intends to make it back for a 4th time but for now will take a break and consider dropping to 205.
Pushing forth with his effort to get out of the legal system, Chris Brown appeared in court with his attorney Mark Geragos for a probation progress report hearing in Los Angeles, California on Friday (January 28).
During the session, the “Say Goodbye” singer was granted a request to be permitted to skip future status hearings – which Judge Patricia Schnegg approved.
Meanwhile, it is expected that a “stay away” order issued against Brown on ex-girlfriend Rihanna will soon be reduced to a “do not annoy” order.
The court doings come after Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting Rihanna after a pre-Grammy Awards party in 2009.
Someone stuck their finger up Beverly’s butt yesterday. It was the vet. She was not happy about it. (Beverly, that is. I’m not sure how the vet felt about the whole incident.)
