Sam Simon gives his fortune to charity in his final days with cancer

Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon has given away his fortune of more than $100 million to charity as he enters his final days with terminal colon cancer. In an interview with NBC, Simon said he's donating his money to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Save the Children and Feeding Families. His own organization, the Sam Simon foundation, offers free vegan food to those in need in the Los Angeles area and also has a mobile spay/neuter vehicle for pet owners in the city. Simon amassed his fortune as a co-creator of The Simpsons but left the show in 1993 after having several difficulties in his relationship with the other creator Matthew Groening. He said cancer was "the most amazing experience" but that he was continuing to struggle with it. "Somehow I ended up surrounded by people that love me and care for me and will do anything for me. It's a good feeling. That's called happiness," he told NBC.


Justin Bieber pays $80,000 in damages over egging incident

Justin Bieber's attorney said Monday that the 20-year-old singer has paid $80,000 in damages to the former neighbor whose house he egged last January.

Last July, Bieber pleaded no contest to misdemeanor vandalism. His ex-neighbors in the exclusive Calabasas neighborhood of Los Angeles said the Canadian star had thrown eggs at their mansion. The victims said at the time of the incident that Bieber had ruined the expensive Venetian plaster on their home. Bieber has until February 2015 to complete his sentence, though he will remain on probation until 2016.

Natalie Morales may depart 'Today'

Natalie Morales is reportedly considering leaving Today. The 42-year-old television host joined the morning program as a national correspondent in 2006, and was made a co-anchor in 2011. Sources told Page Six Morales is seeking other employment because of a power struggle with co-host Tamron Hall and NBC News president Deborah Turness. "There's a lot of tension," the insider revealed. "Natalie and Tamron are competitive, and there was a big blowup in October between the two. Deborah has an issue with Natalie and has sided with Tamron. There has been zero communication between Deborah and Natalie for a long period of time." One source claimed Morales' agent has started to actively investigate other opportunities for the host, but a different insider said they are letting other networks approach them. Morales reportedly has two years left on her contract with Today. Executive producer Don Nash denied claims of a power struggle, and asserted Morales will continue to appear on the morning program in a statement to the publication. "This is total nonsense," he declared. "As the Today show continues to gain momentum, it sounds like someone is trying to stir up trouble that doesn't exist. Natalie Morales is valued by everyone at the news division from the top down, and her future is with the Today show and NBC News."


Kendra Wilkinson says she's single

Kendra Wilkinson has declared she is single. The 29-year-old television personality said as much in an interview with Dish Nation on Tuesday. Wilkinson has signed on to take part in Australian reality series I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, and spoke to the celebrity news program as she arrived at Brisbane airport. "That is what I'm trying to escape from," she said of her problems with husband Hank Baskett. "I'm going to have some thinking time in the jungle. It's going to be good to be away from all that... I'm single for the time being." Wilkinson and Baskett married in June 2009, and have a four-year-old son and six-month-old daughter. The 32-year-old NFL star allegedly cheated on Wilkinson with transgender model Ava Sabrina London, and the couple have been back and forth on whether they will stay together. "I don't know what I'd do if there is a Tarzan [on the show] who wants to sweep me off my feet," Wilkinson admitted. "I'm quite picky about men. I do like a British accent, though." I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! sees 12 celebrities survive without luxuries in a jungle environment. Contestants participate in Bush Tucker trials, which often involve eating insects, and viewers vote to decide which competitor ultimately wins the show. 'I've never seen I'm a Celebrity before, and I didn't want to after I signed up for the show," the reality star revealed. "I want to go in blind. I don't want to freak myself out. And I have no idea who's going in with me. I hope it's a good group of people." "This will be a vacation for me. I'm not a girl into home comforts and luxury," she declared. "I'm going to miss the kids the most. I feel like I've been gone for a year already, but it's only been one flight."


??? Guess Who ???
This Oscar winner says you will never see her on Social Media.... Guess Who???

It's Jennifer Lawrence....

Jennifer Lawrence says the Internet has "scorned so much" that she never intends to join in on the social media craze. Lawrence, 23, addressed her lack of social media accounts while speaking to Radio 1 Breakfast Show host Nick Grimshaw following the London premier of her new film, Hunger Games: Mockingjay -- Part 1.
"I cannot really keep up with emails so the idea of Twitter is so unthinkable to me," she said. "I don't really understand what it is, it's like this weird enigma that people talk about. It's fine I respect that but no, I'll never get Twitter." The Oscar-winning actress went on to compare the Internet with "that girl" you dislike in high school.
"Because the Internet has scorned me so much, I feel like it's that girl in high school that I'm like 'Oh you want to talk about her? Yeah I'll do that.' Take my hoops off, I'm ready to go," she joked. Lawrence was one of the main targets of a mass photo leak in which hackers disseminated hundreds of nude and semi-nude photos illegally obtained from female celebrities' iCloud accounts in September. The actress condemned the actions as a "sex crime" in a subsequent interview with Vanity Fair. The incident seems to have made Lawrence event more wary of social media. "If you ever see a Facebook, Instagram or Twitter that says it's me, it most certainly is not me," she said.
