Ruby Rose wasn't always the short-haired brunette, perfect-faced beauty we know today -- she used to be a LONG-haired BLONDE, perfect-faced beauty ... and yes, she still looked AWESOME. Hotter Ruby? Something Went Wrong The new " Orange Is the New Black " star posed for Maxim Australia back in 2011, but she's almost unrecognizable on the cover ... which is a totally nude shot. Tastefully done, of course. Ruby was already tatted up back then, and apparently religious. If you're not ... we suspect holding her well-placed rosary beads will bring you closer to God. The chick's a smoke show in or OUT of anything. Just sayin' ... Gallery Launch Gallery Instagram … [Read more...] about Ruby Rose — Lighten Up! Blonde Hair and NO CLOTHES (PHOTO)

No Shockers Among DGA Awards Film Nominees: Cuaron, Greengrass, McQueen, Russell, Scorsese
Today’s eagerly awaited DGA nominations are out and there are no surprises in the bunch. Gravity’s Alfonso Cuaron , Captain Phillips’ Paul Greengrass , 12 Years A Slave’s Steve McQueen , American Hustle’s David O. Russell and The Wolf Of Wall Street ‘s Martin Scorsese were all odds-on favorites to make the five — and they did. Some might have questioned Scorsese’s chances since the film has become a lightning rod for controversy and was the last major release of the year, meaning the 15,000-member guild voters would have to see it in time to cast their ballot. But c’mon, he’s Martin Scorsese. There would be no denying this achievement among his fellow directors. He has received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the guild and 10 other nominations with 3 wins in 3 different categories ( The Departed in film, Boardwalk Empire in TV a nd George Harrison: Living In The Material World in documentary). He’s a god to this guild. Greengrass, McQueen and … [Read more...] about No Shockers Among DGA Awards Film Nominees: Cuaron, Greengrass, McQueen, Russell, Scorsese

Lady Gaga: My Wardrobe Is More High Maintenance Than I Am
It's no secret Lady Gaga is into over-the-top fashion ... but the singer's picky demands for her wardrobe when it's on the road will blow you away. TMZ got hold of Gaga's hotel rider for her 'artRave' tour, and her clothes get better treatment than most people. For starters, her duds get their own suite. Gaga's wardrobe room calls for the space to be "completely emptied of all furniture, beds, tables, desks ... anything not permanently attached to the walls or floor to be removed." The room must be tricked out with 4 rolling wardrobe racks, accompanied by 30 hangers (with and without clips), an iron and board, a Jiffy clothing steamer and four 6-foot banquet tables covered in linen. Hotel guests and employees who are offended by nudity ... too bad! Gaga's rider makes no bones about it ... "Please ensure the group is not asked to adhere to any dress code which your hotel might have." Gaga and her clothes also get secret service-level protection. Her team sends … [Read more...] about Lady Gaga: My Wardrobe Is More High Maintenance Than I Am

As he accepted the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, Adam Sander peered at the bronze bust of the legendary humorist and, per the AP, said, “As I look at this goofy award I’m holding, I can’t help but think that one day it might be the weapon used to bludgeon me in my sleep by a disgruntled intruder or possibly Mr. Rob Schneider.” Sandler is the latest comic and former Saturday Night Live alum to get the honor, on a night that was part roast, part tribute and part politically charged humor. Chris Rock noted the big news of the weekend: The potential arrest of Donald Trump in New York, as the former president has called on his supporters to protest. “Are you guys really going to arrest Trump? Do you know that this is only going to make him more popular? It is like arresting Tupac. He’s just going to sell more records. Are you stupid? He slept with a porn star and paid off someone so his wife wouldn’t find out. That’s romantic.” Also appearing were Dana Carvey, … [Read more...] about Chris Rock Riffs On Potential Donald Trump Arrest At Mark Twain Prize Ceremony For Adam Sandler
