Dally M Awards 2014: The best red carpet looks!

The fashion stakes were raised as Wags did their best to create red carpet fashion moments. Queen Wag Terry Biviano well and truly made an impact, walking the carpet for the last time (before her husband Anthony Minichiello’s retirement from the game) in a sexy Pallas Couture gown. But new mum Jodi Anasta was stunning in silver, after opting for a finely detailed J’Aton gown. “They are so good to me and it’s amazing that you get to collaborate with the designer,” Anasta said. NRL songstress and pin-up girl, Jessica Mauboy, never fails
to impress on the red carpet but she was a little casual among the sea of full-length dresses, wearing a dress by designer Steven Khalil. There were two overriding fashion themes on the night for the women on the red carpet: all-white or glistening silver and gold. But of course, some guests broke the rules and looked incredible in their own right.
As for the men, the majority scrubbed up well, sticking to the red carpet rules in black and white tuxedos and suits. Matty Johns said he was impressed by the sophisticated feel of last night’s event. “Traditionally the Dally M’s have been understated compared to the Brownlows, but now we are starting to get it right,” he said.Despite the buzz surrounding the Dallly M vote, football’s night of nights was also heavily focused on the fashion and once again, our players and their partners nailed it. Jessica Mauboy opted for a white, strapless Steven Khalil frock. “I’m such a big fan of this game, my heart has always been with it, so I will be roaming the room to say hi to as many players as I can,” she said ahead of the event. Jodi Anasta, former soap star and wife of former Wests Tigers player Braith Anasta, arrived wearing local designer J’Aton.The mum-of-one hit the red carpet with her footballer husband wearing the floor-length peral beaded gown with plunging neckline and thigh high split.
“It will be (Braith’s) last awards because of his retirement so it will be a big night for us,” the 29-year-old told Confidential ahead of the evening. South Sydney Rabbitohs player Sam Burgess arrived with new girlfriend Phoebe Hooke, who wore a full-length, white gown with one sleeve.Lara Pitt, who is currently six months pregnant, wore an elegant, black floor-length gown. The Fox Sports personality will be front and centre on the red carpet, conducting interviews with Matty Johns. THE Dally M Awards might be the NRL’s night of nights — but it’s also the ladies’ time to shine.
And according to the glam squad in Dally M Styling Suite it takes WAGs on average two hours to get ready.
Paige Duffy, who is Sydney Roosters star Jake Friend’s partner, was revelling in the pampering. “I’m excited to get all dressed up,” Duffy said. She said getting dolled up for the night with the help of stylists was a real treat. “It’s something different to the everyday life that I have,” she said with a laugh.

Yves Marchesseau, aka La Boule, well-known game show Fort Boyard character, passed away this weekend in Saintes (Charente-Maritime). Aged 62, he died of cancer, reported Monday morning France Bleu La Rochelle. In early August, Yves Marchesseau had confided in France Sunday on his health problems.

Did Jenni Rivera Fake Her Own Death? This And Other Myths Debunked From ‘La Diva de la Banda’

Attorneys for singer Jenni Rivera's company and relatives of some of those killed alongside her in a plane crash told a judge on Tuesday that they are trying to settle a lawsuit against the late Mexican-American superstar's company. Attorneys for families of Rivera's lawyer, hairstylist, makeup artist, publicist and one of the pilots killed in the December 2012 crash reported the settlement discussions during a hearing Tuesday. Attorneys Steven Archer and Thomas Dempsey said the talks were with lawyers for Jenni Rivera Enterprises Inc. and a company that performed maintenance on the Learjet 25 that crashed in northern Mexico after plunging more than 28,000 feet.
Superior Court Judge Holly E. Kendig scheduled a Dec. 10 hearing for an update on settlement talks, or to schedule a trial in the case. Following the untimely death of the coach of the second season of "La Voz México," rumors surfaced that Rivera was tangled with drug dealing. It was said that Rivera was to be working with the Zetas cartel to launder money, which was later debunked. Clarification came that Jenni refused to be part of this scheme and that is the reason they ultimately killed her. Myth 3: Jenni Can't Crossover - For those that believe in spirits this might not be a myth but a reality. In a recent interview, daughter Chiquis Rivera told reporters that she still has contact with her mother through music. Gossip show "Suelta La Sopa" contacted Aymme, a recognized medium, who advised them that Jenni Rivera communicates with her daughter through music. "I have received a lot of messages from Jenni," the clairvoyant said. "She tries to communicate with her daughter. Her mother has been repeating the same song. She is not in peace because of her children. She has not been able to disconnected with her emotional ties on Earth."
During the interview cameras captured when a light flickered around them, making them believe it was Jenni's spirit giving them a sign that what the medium was saying was true. This made Chiquis shed some tears in belief that her mother's spirit is still taking care of her. From what Aymme said, Jenni is still alive in spirit form and is roaming her children as she has many things she needs to finish off in this life that she can't physically do anymore. During Jenni Rivera's last concert a myth surged that the singer was warned of her death hours before it happened. The video where someone from the audience says "today she will be killed" went viral, but the family deemed it was a hoax. Pedro Rivera, Jenni’s dad said: "I haven’t seen it, nor I want to, because either way, it’s not going to bring my daughter back, and we don’t want to think that. What I can tell you is that we can’t believe much in those things. It’s so easy to add any sound. We will leave this in the authority’s hands, who are investigating the accident. About a year from now we will have the truth."'La Voz México' Cursed: Many have pointed out that "La Voz México" is a cursed show and this probably had something to do with Jenni Rivera's death. Shortly after participating in the reality show during Season 3, Gibran Martiz was murdered after being kidnapped. Although to be fair, the contestant participated a year after Jenni appeared on the show and no other incidents happened before her time. It seemed to only be a coincidence as no other reports of deaths have been tied to the show. The charlatan and clairvoyant of Mhoni Vidente, said during a radio interview with Flor Rubio, that during this current Season 4 more tragic news would be tied to the show. So if it becomes a reality, maybe there is some truth? We will leave it up to your criteria to judge this case.

SM Entertainment confirm Girls' Generation’s Jessica will be leaving the group

Girls’ Generation, one of K-pop’s biggest girl groups and a leading driver of the genre’s profile overseas, is no longer a nine-member act. The group’s agency, SM Entertainment Co., on Tuesday told local media that Jessica, one of the group’s lead vocalists, had been let go from the group due to disagreements over her business activities in fashion. The agency said that the singer privately announced earlier this year her retirement from the group and later founded her fashion business, Blanc Group, without securing agreement from the agency. The singer, whose last name is Jung, and the remaining members continue to be signed with the agency, it added.
On Tuesday morning on Weibo, the China-based Twitter-like service, Ms. Jung wrote that she had been informed of her exit from the group from the agency and the other eight members. She said she was “devastated” and added that she was pushed out “for no justifiable reason.” SM Entertainment has a history of public disputes with their artists. Kris, a member of boy band EXO, in May filed a lawsuit against the agency to nullify his contract. In 2009 three of the five members of boy band TVXQ quit the group and sued the company for what they said was unfair terms of their contract. The three singers and the agency in 2012 dropped all legal filings following a court injunction.
The SM Entertainment spokeswoman didn’t answer calls on Tuesday. A spokeswoman for Ms. Jung’s company Blanc declined to comment and didn’t make Ms. Jung available for comment. Early Tuesday the remaining eight members—Taeyeon, Tiffany, Sooyoung, Sunny, Yoona, Yuri, Seohyun and Hyoyeon—left for Shenzen, China for a fan event, local media reported. Ms. Jung didn’t appear at the airport terminal.
Formed in 2007, Girls’ Generation has become one of K-pop’s best-recognized acts, starting with their hit single “Gee” in 2009. The group gained popularity in other Asian countries but their attempt to crack the U.S. market in 2011 didn’t yield a similar commercial success.

Anna Kendrick PHOTOS Leak, NOT Nude But Partying With Drugs? 'Pitch Perfect' Beauty Latest Victim of 'The Fappening' Hack Attack

Hackers have yet to become tired of their invasive efforts to embarrass large swathes of the female Hollywood elite, as shown in yet another – the third – leak of private and intimate images.  This time, unverified photographs taken from devices owned by Twilight actress Anna Kendrick and Olympic gold medallist Misty May-Treanor were unveiled to 4chan and Reddit forum users. All of the 87 Kendrick photos were thought to show her clothed, however, and included pictures of the actress having fun with friends on nights out in images not too dissimilar of most people in their twenties. The image dump happened on Friday afternoon, the Daily Beast reports, and also included model Cara Delevingne, Going the Distance actress Kelli Garner and Briana Evigan from the Step-Up series, with further images of Hunger Games actress Jennifer Lawrence also uploaded. In what has been dubbed ‘The Fappening 3’, this latest leak comes after the initial release of images stolen from over 100 female celebrities a month ago and a second lot that was spread online last weekend. 
Apparently, every weekend a slew of new Hollywood starlets fall victim to the infamous cyber hack. This time, "Pitch Perfect" beauty Anna Kendrick's in the spotlight. But according to GossipCop, the leaked photos do not include any nude snapshots. But still, the images show 29-year-old Kendrick in several private moments she most likely did not want the public to see.  The pictures were leaked once again on Reddit and 4Chan. All 87 of them. Even more racy photos of "Hunger Games" actress Jennifer Lawrence were also made available. MstarsNews will NOT re-post any of the images here - but a quick Google search might do the trick. Kendrick has yet to comment on this latest scandal - her last tweet all the way back from September 2, 2013 reads:

‘Once Upon A Time’ Premiere: Elsa Comes To Storybrooke To Save Anna

Once Upon a Time has Frozen over, but things weren't all icy when we returned to Storybrooke in the Season 4 premiere, "A Tale of Two Sisters." In fact, one Rumpelstiltskin and Belle scene almost had me tearing up from all the Beauty and the Beast nostalgia. However, any happiness was offset by Regina back in Evil Queen mode (with her newly returned mirror sidekick Sidney Glass), Emma's resistance to Hook's advances, and well ... all of the frozen fractals Elsa dragged all over town. But before we could get into the action, we had to start with a time jump, of course. In the episode's opening scene, we get the backstory of Elsa and Anna’s parents' death that Frozen never gave us. Maybe it was the film's G-rating that prevented animators from showing the former king and queen of Arendelle dying on a boat, Titanic-style, but the episode kicked off with their mom quickly scrawling a note with “the truth” about Elsa to send back home in a bottle.
Spoiler alert: it never made it home, because when we flash forward five years later, Anna and Elsa are just as confused about their parents' death as ever. Regina knew exactly what she needed from Sidney (Giancarlo Esposito) — the exact moment she captured Miriam back in the day. She didn’t wanted Sidney to kill Miriam, just change the future. Regina planned to go back in time and undo Emma’s mistake. Her master plan was to kill Miriam before she could be saved. The only way Sidney could help with all of this was to become the Magic Mirror again. Poof. He’s back! As expected, he did her bidding. But how long is he going to be willing? Meanwhile, Emma, Hook, Charming, Miriam and Robin ran into the woods to seek refuge from the big and mighty Marshamallow. The only thing they thought could save them was Emma’s magic. Unfortunately, that didn’t do the trick. Thankfully, Regina was there to save the day.
After their icy brush with death, Hook attempted to talk to Emma. HE JUST WANTS TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU EMMA. GEEZ. “Right now, I just feel too guilty,” Emma said. She quickly kissed him and told him to be patient. I can only wait so long, Emma. Emma went to see Regina and explained that she wasn’t going to stop until she gave Regina a happy ending. This sparked new curiosity for Regina. Now, Regina wanted to change fate, but Sidney said that wasn’t possible. She explained that in the storybook, the villain never wins. She’s out to find the writer of the book and force him/her to give the villains a happy ending. After Gold’s romantic dance with Belle, he went back to the object he’d had his eye on the second they arrived in their new home. He used his sword to unveil the Sorcerer’s Hat! Oh lord. Back in the Arendelle days, Elsa headed to see Kristoff (Scott Michael Foster) after she couldn’t find Anna. She found him in the stables with Sven. Despite Kristoff’s attempts at lying, he confessed that Anna had booked passage on a ship to Misthaven. Elsa was baffled that Kristoff let Anna go alone, but Kristoff was needed in Arendelle. Anna didn’t want Elsa to be alone. (Aw, sisters!)
“She sometimes acts before she thinks,” Elsa told Kristoff. Yep, Anna did just that. Kristoff dropped the bomb on Elsa (and everyone else) that Misthaven was also known at the Enchanted Forest! In the present day, Elsa broke into Gold’s shop and found something she recognized! It was the snowflake necklace Anna was wearing went she traveled to Misthaven!

Hong Kong pro-democracy activists launch "Occupy Central" movement

Police used tear gas, batons and pepper spray against pro-democracy demonstrators in central Hong Kong Sunday, as tens of thousands joined a civil disobedience movement that seeks unfettered elections for the city’s top job.The demonstrations, which were originally supposed to be confined to the Central district, continued into Monday morning and spread to various neighborhoods, including across the iconic harbor in Kowloon. Tear gas even billowed into the city’s famously efficient subway system.Protesters chanted democracy slogans and sang songs by legendary 1980s Hong Kong rock band Beyond. Many were apparently drawn onto the street after becoming incensed that the police had fired tear gas at the crowds. Some 78 people were arrested, say police. “This protest is definitely outside of anyone’s expectations,” says Maya Wang, a researcher for Human Rights Watch based in Hong Kong. “Both the government in Hong Kong and in Beijing are going to have a huge headache on their hands.”
Occupy Central with Peace and Love, as the protest is officially known, aims to foment democratic change by paralyzing the heart of this freewheeling financial hub. It was originally slated to begin Wednesday, but an aligned student demonstration Friday gathered such momentum that its leaders brought the launch forward. Hundreds of students remained at the government complex Sunday while police kept a tight watch. At issue is the restrictive electoral reform plan Beijing prescribes for the former British colony that returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
The National People's Congress Standing Committee, Beijing's core legislative body overseeing Hong Kong's political development, passed a resolution on Aug. 31 that restricts candidacy in Hong Kong's 2017 chief executive election. According to the resolution, a 1,200-strong Nominating Committee controlled by Beijing will pick two to three candidates before putting them forward for a vote by some 5 million eligible voters. The democracy camp described the provisions as "sham universal suffrage" that bars candidates deemed unacceptable by Beijing. The territory's Beijing-endorsed leader Leung Chun-ying, who has called for Hong Kong's support of the NPCSC decision, has shunned the students' demand for a dialogue and has not been seen in public since the student-police clash.

Chris Pratt hosts ‘Saturday Night Live,’ portrays Princess Leia

Chris Pratt
Chris Pratt was the guardian of "Saturday Night Live's" season premiere, celebrating the show's 40th anniversary. "I'm so pumped to be here hosting the season premiere of 'Saturday Night Live,'" he said during his opening monologue on Sept. 28. The "Guardians of the Galaxy" star talked about his 60 pound weight loss for the lead role in the film and detailed the, "Hey-fat-ass-get-into-shape-so-you-can-be-in-my-movie-diet," he endured to get slim down. Obviously it worked as he and the Marvel flick were a huge hit. In fact, it's the highest grossing film this year, totaling $294.6 million six weeks after its release. What better way to celebrate the film's success than with an "SNL" skit about the undeniable triumph's Marvel movies produce. "Marvel took a super obscure comic book and turned it into the biggest film of the year," the voiceover in the "Marvels Coming Attractions" skit began, "which means one thing, Marvel can't fail!" The skit highlights the upcoming films Marvel intends to release like "Ant-Man," about a guy who talks to ants. "We don't even need comic books anymore," the voiceover added. "We made a superhero team by pointing at a bunch of random words in the dictionary."
The outcome? "Creatures of the Cosmos," starring a pastry chef played by Pratt, a Harlem Globetrotter, an alien real estate signs dude, a dude dressed as Grimace, and an office chair. Other Marvel pictures to come include the comic's take on "Star Wars" with Pratt starring as Princess Leia. Pop princess Ariana Grande also made an appearance on "SNL's" season premiere Saturday. "I know I'm not half the singer Ariana Grande is," Pratt mentioned during his opening monologue. "But I'm technically three times her body weight." The 21-year-old performed "Break Free," which she began with just piano accompaniment before picking up the tempo and incorporating some choreography.

Brazilian Serie A Review: Cruzeiro held by Fluminense, Sao Paulo wins again

Cruzeiro surrendered a lead twice as it shared the spoils at Fluminense in Brazilian Serie A, while Sao Paulo extended its winning run.League leader Cruzeiro was held to a 3-3 draw, despite a first-half brace from Julio Baptista, after 18-year-old substitute Kenedy equalised for Fluminense with two minutes remaining in Rio de Janeiro on Monday (AEST).Cruzeiro - 11 games unbeaten in a span stretching back to 28 May - remains top of the table with 43 points from 19 matches.Fluminense is 12 points off the pace in fifth spot. With the competition's leading goalscorer Ricardo Goulart and midfielder Everton Ribeiro away on international duty with Brazil in the United States, former Real Madrid and Arsenal forward Baptista was promoted to Marcelo Oliveira's starting XI. He made an instant impact at the iconic Maracana, converting a 14th-minute penalty after Paraguayan Miguel Samudio - on loan from Libertad - was fouled in the area.
Cruzeiro's lead lasted three minutes as host Fluminense hit back courtesy of Wagner's header on the goal line. Fluminense was ahead six minutes later after an unmarked Dario Conca drove into the penalty area and found Cicero, who guided the ball through Fabio's fingers. Baptista was at it again on the stroke of half-time as he restored parity for Cruzeiro, bundling an attempted volley into the bottom corner of the net. Cruzeiro's Bolivian star Marcelo Moreno scored in his sixth consecutive game - making it eight goals in the process - after volleying the ball past Fluminense goalkeeper Klever in the 58th minute. But Fluminense salvaged a point two minutes from time thanks to Kenedy's curled effort from the edge of the box. In-form Sao Paulo closed to within seven points of Cruzeiro following its 2-0 win over Sport Recife on Monday (AEST). A seventh-minute own goal from Rithiely and Alexandre Pato's 26th-minute strike saw Sao Paulo make it seven league games without defeat. Sao Paulo climbed up to second in the standings after Internacional crashed to a third defeat in four games, losing 3-2 at home to Figueirense. Internacional cruised to the half-time break with a 2-0 lead thanks to Andres D'Alessandro's 18th-minute penalty and Paulao's thunderous effort from inside the penalty arc after 35 minutes.
But it was all one-way traffic in the second-half as Figueirense netted three unanswered goals through substitute Everaldo, Marco Antonio and Giovanni Augusto, who scored from a corner. In other results, Gremio responded to its expulsion from the Copa do Brasil with a 1-0 win at Flamengo on Sunday (AEST).
Gremio was banned from this year's competition after its fans' racial slurs against Santos. But Luan's 90th-minute goal gave Luiz Felipe Scolari's men victory, while Flamengo lost for the first time in five league matches. David Braz scored twice in the absence of Robinho, who was called into the Brazil squad, as Santos accounted for Vitoria 3-1. Atletico Mineiro overcame 10-man Botafogo 1-0 thanks to Leonardo Silva. Corinthians was held to a goalless draw at Criciuma, while Bahia and Coritiba played out the same result. Meanwhile, Palmeiras earned a 1-1 draw at Atletico PR.
