Usher's voice is barely audible on the recording, but he sounds clearly shaken by the event while talking to the operator.
"I don't know this woman," said Usher. "She rang my doorbell."
The woman in question was identified as Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw, who claimed that she was Usher's wife. According to a police report, the woman was given a criminal trespass warning the previous day when she was first spotted on Usher's property. The report continues to state that when she returned, officers transported Ms. Jones-Rakestraw to Emory Johns Creek Hospital "for a mental and physical evaluation."

I have to confess that it literally ticks me off whenever I hear anyone praising or making a lot of fuss about Lady Gaga, when, in fact, Everything she does she stole from Grace Jones. And even worse she does it very badly. Grace gets No credit for being out there, doing her fierce thing long before this Gaga broad was ever born. And yes, Madonna is just as guilty of being a copycat too. And to prove her point that no one messes with Ms. Jones, as well as to to teach these pathetic copycats a lesson, check out her performance of her hit Slave To The Rhythm, at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert earlier today, in front of Buckingham Place. And remember, Grace is 64...

Publicity still from Lifetime's Liz and Dick
Are you seeing what I'm seeing? That's Lindsay Lohan looking almost scarily like Elizabeth Taylor in a promotional photo for the Lifetime movie Liz & Dick, a biopic of the romance between Taylor and Richard Burton. It's such a wicked resemblance that I say we celebrate with a little present-to-past dream casting of our own. Ahead, we match up current Hollywood stars with their lookalikes from the past. I left out obvious picks like George Clooney/Cary Grant and most other resemblances I covered here.
Ryan Gosling as Errol Flynn
Jude Law portrayed notorious playboy Flynn in The Aviator, but I think Gosling's turn as the sinister star would be much more interesting. It'd combine the enigma of his work in Drive and a twisted spin on his charismatic turn in The Notebook.
Katherine Heigl as Ellen Burstyn

On the surface Celeste and Jesse seem like the perfect couple. Their obnoxiously profuse amount of inside jokes, the way they hang all over each other, and the hours upon hours of time they spend together, give the impression that they are a match made in heaven. Except Celeste and Jesse are not really together, in fact, they’re still in the midst of a six-week-old decision to divorce each other. When Jesse finally approaches Celeste with the news that he has fathered a child with another woman, this romantic comedy quickly warps into a unique drama that cuts to the soul of how relationships really are.
Celeste and Jesse Forever sports an all star cast which includes Celeste’s overtly gay co-worker (Elijah Wood), their new client, a bombastic tween pop idol à la Ke$ha (Emma Roberts), and of course the main characters in Celeste (Parks & Recreation’s...

Hazel Jones, a U.K. woman diagnosed with ‘uterus didelphys’ – a condition where she has two wombs and two cervixes – has turned down a $1 million offer from Vivid Entertainment to star in her own porn movie. Or to put it another way, the only remaining porn movie that hasn’t already been made 7 trillion times will continue to not be made, at least for a little while. According to Ms. Jones, don’t print up those Double Indemnity porn parody posters just yet: According to This Morning, she said: ‘I have never received any offers of this kind of work nor would I never consider doing it in a million years. ‘I just want to be left alone.’ Hear hear! A very admirable stance, especially because now we won’t have to come across a link to that porn and spend forty-five minutes pre-justifying to ourselves why we have to click on it,...

This movie year we film fans are getting to see new works from directors who might not be referred to as prolific. They’re not giving us a new movie every year like Woody Allen ( who’s had a great 2011 with Midnight In Paris ). One is Terence Malick, who gave us The Tree Of Life a few months ago. Another is Cameron Crowe. It’s been six years since Mr. Crowe took us on a cinema trip to Elizabethtown. Well, he’s back at the multiplex, but like Martin Scorsese with Hugo, he’s tackling what might be pegged as a family film, the based-on-a-true-story We Bought A Zoo.
The film’s focus is hotshot newspaper reporter Benjamin Mee ( Matt Damon ), whose life is at a turning point. Recently widowed, he’s doing his best to raise his two children on his own. Rosie’s ( Mary Elizabeth Jones ) a sweet little sprite still missing Mommy,...

Back in July, a little while after Bridesmaids became a surprise hit at the box office, the film's director Paul Feig seemed to be lining up to direct a Bridget Jones Diary sequel, the third in the romantic comedy series. However, Feig just didn't jive with the British sensibilities of the franchise as Universal and Working Title had hoped. Now Deadline reports The Full Monty director and London native Peter Cattaneo is in talks to take on the sequel that intends to bring back Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. Production is slated to begin sometime next year, with Feig's most recent draft of the script still in play. As for the story, no details have been confirmed, but Helen Fielding, the author of the novels on which the films are based, also wrote the script with Feig and David Nicholls and she has been wanting Ms. Jones hoping...

It's certainly a mystery for the ages—at least, the digital ages—who is the father of January Jones' son? Well, we got one giant step closer to discovering that today, as the birth certificate of Xander Dane Jones has been released. And while the Mad Men star is obviously listed as the mother, who's name is right alongside hers as the coparent? No one's. That's right, don't go handing out those cigars just yet, because the ever crafty Ms. Jones isn't giving away the game that easily, and the document, filed Friday with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, was left completely blank in the spot that asked for the father's name.

The leaves are falling, school is starting, and Oscar season is on its way. You might think it's time to leave summer blockbusters behind, but this fall has something for everyone, from arty indies to 3-D extravaganzas.
Some of these folks, like Julianne Hough and Lea Michele, are familiar faces from the boob tube who are making the leap to movies; and others, like Noomi Rapace, are better known overseas. What they all have in common is that their breakthrough moments are upon us, as sure as school supplies.

Starring in: "Restless" (September 16)
So Fresh: When your dad is the late Dennis Hopper, you're pretty much born cool; but Henry's first film as a bona fide grown-up proves he's not messing around with any fluffy stuff.

The Bridget Jones series is all set to go for a third installment, but they are waiting to hear from one very key person -- Ms. Jones herself, Renee Zellweger. Apparently Zellweger isn't quite sure if she is ready to reprise her role, and some are speculating that the reason she is holding out is because she doesn't want to pack on the extra pounds again.
For the first two Bridget Jones movies, Zellweger had to put 30 pounds on her usually small frame to prepare for the role. Before filming Bridget Jones's Diary, Zellweger went from a size 8 to a size 12.
Her weight gain diet is made of the stuff every woman wishes she could eat on a regular basis -- lavish breakfasts and lots of carbs!
For breakfast alone, Zellweger would eat eggs benedict with a side of French toast and syrup, along with four slices of bread topped with butter and cream cheese.

Couldn't get enough of Ms. Jones' diary? Fallen for the awkward charm of Mr. Darcy? Well fear not, Bridget Jones 3 is coming soon to a theater near you. Working Title Films, the company that worked on both the original film and it's sequel, the Edge of Reason, have finally green-lit the film. While no official plot details have been released (it hasn't been written yet), Colin Firth talked to press last year where he divulged some tidbits, "I can tell you that Bridget and Mark can't have children. I think that's the way it goes on". He continues by confirming the involvement of Hugh Grant's character, "So then she makes the huge mistake of going back to Daniel Cleaver for long enough to get pregnant". So there you have it, Bridget Jones and her giant knickers are hitting the big screen once again, are you excited? Via EW.

5 Reasons Not to Hate January Jones An impassioned defense of the notoriously affectless actress. X-Men: First Class star January Jones has become one of the most hated actresses in America — you either haven’t heard of her, or you disdain her. “I fucking hate that face,” wrote a blogger for Gawker, in a post titled “Which Actresses Do You Irrationally Hate?” While that writer at least acknowledged that his hatred was irrational, January Jones is also despised for purportedly rational reasons by fans of the two properties she’s associated with, Mad Men and X-Men — a hazard of working on projects with crazy die-hard fans. But, as a fan of both Mad Men and X-Men, I say Ms. Jones is less despicable than you think — not only should you not hate her, you should embrace her! Here’s why. 1. She’s very good at playing blank women. The party [...]...

Young, star-crossed love. Every Sundance there’s never a shortage of coverage on the subject. This year there’s Submarine and Like Crazy, directed by Richard Ayoade and Drake Doremus, respectively. The first’s about teens in love, the second’s about twenty-somethings in love. Where the first is very written (by Ayoade from the Joe Dunthorne novel), channeling Wes Anderson-like factoids among creative hypothetical scenarios, the second is mostly improvised, full of the ‘ums’ and ‘ahs’ that populate every conversation you’ve ever had with the girl you don’t date anymore. Where the first offers first-person narration and a very personal point of view, the second observes its leads as objectively as possible.
In fact, both films dive so deep into their respective methods of narration that they round the bend and meet back up, failing to fully invest those watching into the conflicts at hand. Though there be inspired scenes,...

X-men fans know that Emma Frost Aka White Queen has always been drawn in revealing outfits, but many haven’t felt that from the recent set images from the film (here). Neither of the four X-men films have used the original outfits for any of the characters, but were disappointed when those photos came online, and featured January Jones in a trench coat and Russian hat. However, fans need not worry as you will be seeing a lot more of Ms. Jones in the film.
Jones spoke with Hero Complex about the starring in Matthew Vaughn’s prequel, and revealed the costumes will be more revealing. ”The costumes are insane. It’s a lot of very body-conscious stuff. If you look at the comic book, she’s barely dressed. She’s got quite the bod, which is very intimidating,” she said. Although, she was asked to avoid working out to...

No matter how you look at it, this story is highly unsettling. ABC News weather anchor Heidi Jones, based out of New York City, has recanted serious rape allegations she made to the police. She was subsequently charged with filing a false report.
On Nov. 24, Jones reported an attempted rape. According to CBS News, she said a man tried to rape her a month earlier while she was running through Central Park. She claimed that the same man harassed her on Nov. 21 outside her apartment.
She described her assailant as "a Hispanic man in his 30s or 40s, who grabbed her from behind, dragged her into a wooded area and attempted to rape her." The police launched an investigation, canvassing the area and speaking to potential witnesses. When they followed up with Jones, however, she told them that she'd made up the story.

Well, I don't know that this was the first image I wanted to see from director Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class. The film, which tells the tale of the origins of the X-Men, focusing on the early days of Professor X and Magneto, is already making me nervous with its overcrowded cast. Now we have the first pics of January Jones ("Mad Men") as Emma Frost, the telepathic mutant who runs a school for mutants and becomes a member of the Hellfire Club (which will also feature heavily in the film, with Kevin Bacon as the sinister Sebastian Shaw).
Anyway, here are the set pics. Of January Jones. In a big, goofy-assed hat. She looks like a reject from a James Bond winter chase scene. It doesn't help that I don't have a ton of faith in Jones. Of course, I think the only thing I've seen her in was American Wedding,...

Of her Versace Atlier dress, Ms. Jones commented, "I saw it in Italian Vogue. I just asked Donatella [Versace] if I could wear it for an evening. It's extremely glamorous. It's probably going to be in a museum tomorrow."
As for the awards, “Mad Men” took the top honors for Best Drama. Creator-producer-writer Matthew Weiner gushed, "I can't believe we're here. We're now in our fourth season -- I didn't think we'd get through half of one."...

Lapd officer April Harding has informed People magazine that the police will not investigate the "Mad Men" beauty for the accident, claiming the actress didn't do anything illegal.

The world lost one of the last actresses of Hollywood's golden era yesterday, as Jennifer Jones passed away. At 90 years old, she certainly lived a long and successful life, though certainly one that was touched by its share of tragedy.
Jones is probably best known for her Oscar-winning performance in The Song of Bernadette, and for being the wife of legendary producer David O. Selznick. But she starred or costarred in a number of great films, including Duel in the Sun, Since You Went Away, Portrait of Jennie, Madame Bovary, The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit, and many more. She was right up there with Katharine Hepburn and Ingrid Bergman, but her intensely private life didn't encourage the kind of stardom they enjoyed. But she was an enchanting and luminous actress, and very far removed from the majority of actresses working today. If you've never seen a Jones film,...

Raekwon had an emotional moment last night during his Only Built for Cuban Linx 2 concert at New York's Irving Plaza. The Chef was rolling his classic tunes such as "C.R.E.A.M." (he performed both his and Inspectah Deck's verses) and "Ice Cream" (Cappadonna came out as a surprise guest) when he took time to acknowledge the presence of an extra-special VIP. The Wu-Tang Clan vet announced to the crowd that Ol' Dirty Bastard's mother, Cherry Jones, had braved the cold to come to the show.
In a heartwarming moment, Rae brought Ms. Jones onto the stage, and the pair hugged for a couple of minutes, likely reminiscing about their deceased loved one, who died in 2004 of an apparent drug overdose. Rae's DJ then played a...

The race for golden statuettes starts now - and those in the running are expressing shock and gratitude for their recognition by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. "I am beyond stunned," said Sandra Bullock in a statement for her two Golden Globe nods: Best Actress in a Drama for The Blind Side and Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for The Proposal. "Just to be included in the company of these amazing women I have so admired through the years has left me slack-jawed with awe." Others like Marion Cotillard, Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical nominee for Nine,...

We get a lot of video sent to us so we don’t always share them here at the site, mostly because in a majority of cases guests on Jimmy Fallon’s show don’t really “wow” us. But when one of our favorite stars from one of the best shows currently on TV does something awesome, we just feel compelled to bring it to you.
Case in point is last night’s appearance by the beautiful and talented January Jones (Mad Men). On the show she talked about the usual stuff as most talk show guests do. She also joined Jimmy in a little game of what we like to call beer pong and we’ve got video of that to share.
Any woman who’s as good looking as Ms. Jones, can play beer pong and comments when her beer isn’t full enough definitely deserves our respect,...

With its imminent release this Friday, November 6th, The Fourth Kind is asking viewers, "Do you believe?" Weighing in on the debate is a new interview with paranormal writer and researcher Marie D. Jones.
FEARnet got dibs on the featurette, in which Ms. Jones describes how The Fourth Kind accurately depicts trigger objects, time prompts, and other commonalities typical of real-life alien abduction accounts. To watch it, click the below image.
Synopsis
In 1972 a scale of measurement was established for alien encounters. When a UFO is sighted, it is called an encounter of the first kind. When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind. When contact is made with extraterrestrials, it is the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. This encounter has been the most difficult to document...until now.
Structured unlike any film before it, The Fourth Kind is...

When she's not playing the always hot, but ever-so-cold wife of Don Draper on AMC's superb series Mad Men, actress January Jones is making movies. And lately, she's a hot commodity. In late-January, she will begin shooting on Unknown White Male, starring alongside Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger. Neeson plays a man who awakens from a coma, only to find that his identity has been stolen. After that, she'll be starring alongside Nicolas Cage in the vigilante thriller The Hungry Rabbit Jumps. The film centers on a man (Cage) who, after a crime is perpetrated on his wife, gets more than he bargained for when he enlists a vigilante group to help him settle the score. Jones will play the wife. But as producer James Stern tells The Hollywood Reporter, it's not a reactionary role, but a very active one. He says that it's a "very meaty role," which when combined with the "crime perpetrated on his...

If I told you the next Dark Castle horror-thriller flick would star January Jones and Diane Kruger, you'd probably be interested. If I told you that the most recent Dark Castle horror flicks were Whiteout, Orphan, and Return to House on Haunted Hill ... you'd probably be a little less interested. But with the presence of two stunning blondes (and a half-decent concept), Dark Castle's Unknown White Male is starting to sound a little intriguing.
According to Variety, Ms. Jones and Ms. Kruger will join the very busy (and very lucky) Liam Neeson in Unknown White Male, which "centers on a man who awakens from a coma to find that someone else has assumed his identity, and no one, including his wife, believes him." The director is Jaume Collet-Serra, whom the horror freaks may remember from (Dark Castle) flicks like Orphan and House of Wax. The stunning Diane Kruger is best-known for her work in Troy,...

Many readers have pointed out that in my roundup of the best and worst fashions from last night’s Emmy telecast, I left January Jones off the list. Some thought she should be a worst for her "Jetson corset" (thank you Judy H) while others say they would have named her a best for her gown’s "Chrysler-Building-retro-futuristic awesome" vibe (according to Stan). I was actually really impressed by the architectural bodice of January's Versace gown and the freshness of her whole look... until I saw a closeup (pictured, left). You see those little peach squares in her top? That’s not cool Art Deco tiling or even flesh-toned material – that’s actual flesh. The baring of random bits of her midriff in an otherwise elegant gown gave me pause – not enough to call it a worst, mind you, but just enough to hold me back from besting it. This...

Lists are breezy reads, but there can be an unfortunate disposability to the data because arbitrarily numbered "Ten Best" somethings or "Five Things You Should Know About" whatevers literally demonstrate quantity's domination over quality. And now that I've sucked all the fun out of the room, here's a practical but otherwise unranked list of ten auteurist gems . nine of which are already on DVD . that deserve their layers of dust blown off. (Sorry, "Zero Effect" and "11 Harrowhouse," but the list dictates the rules!)
"One From the Heart" (1982)
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola
The fires of over-ambition still smoldering in his belly after "Apocalypse Now," Francis Ford Coppola's follow-up was a decadent fiasco that bankrupted him, and might have seemed at the time as if the director had returned half-mad from the Filipino jungles. Epically staged on the Zoetrope studio lot, Coppola's hypertheatrical Vegas romance-cum-musical fantasy stars...
