The actress who played Edith Bunker on the iconic series ‘All in the Family’ clearly had a huge impact on the entertainment world. As news broke that she had passed away on May 31, actresses and other stars took to Twitter to mourn her death.

As Edith Bunker, Jean Stapleton turned in one of the defining performances of a housewife on television. Her natural wit and sweetness played perfectly with Carroll O’Connor’s Archie Bunker, who was churlish and angry to the point of being foolish. Only Jean’s acting could make Archie’s nickname for Edith, “dingbat,” seem endearing. As her family announced that Jean had passed away from natural causes at the age of 90 on May 31, the iconic actress’ effect on the entertainment world only became clearer — celebrities almost immediately rushed to Twitter to get their thoughts out in remembrance of Jean.

Jean Stapleton Dies At 90: Celebs React On Twitter

Jean’s impact was unsurprisingly felt most by female actresses, as many expressed their condolences via Twitter.

Bette Midler, who is iconic in her own right, tweeted about her peer saying, “Jean Stapleton, beloved as Edith in ALL IN THE FAMILY dies at 90. She was unforgettable in that role…rest in peace…”

Actress Alyssa Milano simply tweeted, “RIP,” while Debi Mazar tweeted, “R.I.P Jean Stapleton!!One of my favorites.”

Marlee Matlin left a beautiful message on her Twitter: “Jean Stapleton who played Edith Bunker was no dingbat. When I finally saw All in the Family with captions I realized she was brilliant! RIP.”

Marie Osmond also wrote about a memory of Jean, saying, “So remember Carroll O’Connor & Jean Stapleton on #DonnyandMarie talk show in 2000. Last TV interview together. Peace to you Jean.”

And Jean’s death seemed to really crush actress/comedian Sandra Bernhard, who tweeted the simple message, “suddenly they’re gone. and it’s too much to bear.”

But it wasn’t all actresses – Vegas actor Michael Chiklis also tweeted, “‘All in the Family’ star Jean Stapleton dies at 90. One of my favorites has passed away. Jean was Brilliant. RIP.”

All of these tweets are so thoughtful and just go to show how important Jean was. She will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends in this tough time.

The actress who quite possibly defined women in television in the 70s tragically passed away from natural causes on May 31. She brought so much joy to her craft and life, here are some pictures of Jean that capture that feeling.

The entertainment world was saddened to learn that one of its brightest stars had passed away on June 1. Jean Stapleton, known best for her iconic role as Edith Bunker on All in the Family passed away at the age of 90 in New York City on May 31, her family and agent confirmed. Read on to see some of the best pictures of the iconic actress.

Jean Stapleton Dies At Age 90

As Edith, Archie Bunker’s suffering wife who he often endearingly referred to as “dingbat,” Jean subtly stole All in the Family, one of the most popular sitcoms in the 1970s and now regarded as one of the most iconic series in television history.

Carroll O’Connor’s Archie had the spotlight as the intolerable dock worker who was condescending, smug, and almost foolish towards anyone whose opinions or attitudes differed from his, but as his bullied wife, Jean won viewers over with her sweetness and lovable naivete.

Jean was nominated for eight Emmys for All in the Family, and won three. Along with Carroll and producer Norman Lear, Jean helped make a television show that fearlessly broke through the timidity of US television by addressing social and political tensions. Edith’s comic relief was essential to undercutting the serious content of the show.

Besides All in the Family, Jean also won an Emmy for playing Eleanor Roosevelt in the 1982 film Eleanor, First Lady of the World and for a guest spot in 1995 on Grace Under Fire.

Jean will always be remembered for her talent, but most of all for the love and joy she injected into her every role.

Hollywood Life: Justin Bieber Gets New Tattoo — Sending Message To Selena Gomez?

Jun 1st 2013, 20:47

HollywoodLife.com has previously reported that Justin is working harder this time around to be a true gentleman for Selena. Is his latest tattoo of a knight meant to be a testament to that?

Justin Bieber seems to making things clear to Selena Gomez — he’s ready to be her knight in shining armor. After all, why else would he go and get a tattoo of a knight in shining armor?

Justin Bieber’s New Knight Tattoo

When the 19-year-old singer stepped out in New York City on May 30, we couldn’t help but notice a new work of art gracing the inside of his left arm. The new inked picture of a knight is Justin’s seventh tattoo on that arm — it joins the likes of a tiger head, a koi fish, and the word “believe,” among others.

The new tattoo’s timing is impeccable, hitting Justin’s arm just as his reunion with Selena becomes official. The ink could suggest that the Biebs is extremely dedicated to being more chivalrous — like a knight — to Selena this time around.

Justin Bieber Working To Be A Gentleman For Selena Gomez

A source close to Selena previously admitted to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Justin “is working hard to be a gentleman” to Selena. He is respecting and appreciating her more and devoting himself to her, the source explained back in early May.

“Justin can't wait to see her again and is always talking to her about things he wants to do when he's back to the US,” the source said.

The same source explained that the Biebs needs to act mature and really care for Selena’s feelings this time, because she’ll drop him in a second if he doesn’t: “She has told him that if he f***s with her emotions too much, she will drop him.”

Perhaps Justin is trying to say that he’ll be there for Selena, to protect her and love her like an honorable knight, with this very permanent tattoo. Or he just really likes Game of Thrones.

What do you think the tattoo means, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

Jun 1st 2013, 21:23

So sad! The actress behind one of the most iconic wives in television history died of natural causes on May 31. She was 90 years old.

Jean Stapleton, who played Edith Bunker on the iconic show All in the Family passed away at the age of 90 on May 31 in New York City. Her family stated that she died of natural causes.

Jean Stapleton: Iconic Actress Dies At 90

Jean breathed comic and endearing life into Edith, Archie Bunker’s long-suffering wife on All in the Family, one of the most popular television shows in the 1970s. She won three Emmys for the role and her co-star Carroll O’Connor, who played Archie, once wrote, “The benign, compassionate presence she developed made my egregious churl bearable.”

She was born in 1923, the daughter of a billboard salesman and an opera singer. She got her big acting break in 1949 when she was cast in the national touring company for Harvey. From there she starred in regional and off-Broadway plays, finally making her way to the big time in 1953 starring in In the Summer House as a wisecracking waitress.

Before coming to All in the Family, Jean appeared in both the stage and film versions of The Bells Are Ringing, and she originated the role of Mrs. Strakosh from Funny Girl, which later made a Broadway star out of Barbra Streisand. Her last major acting role was in the 1998 Meg Ryan film You’ve Got Mail.

Jean’s husband of 26 years, William Putch, passed away in 1983. She is survived by her two children, television producer Pamela Putch and television director John Putch.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jean’s friends and family as they go through this difficult time. Rest in peace, Jean!

Jun 1st 2013, 19:55

Katie and Luke got super intimate and passionate for the filming of their movie ‘Mania Days’ on May 31. While the kiss was in the script, we couldn’t help but notice how natural they made it look — maybe because they’re smooching off-screen too?

Wow — remind us to go see Mania Days when it comes out! The 34-year-old Katie Holmes was photographed on the set of the movie getting down and dirty with her co-star Luke Kirby, also 34. The two embraced while shooting a love scene and judging by the pictures, it’s going to be one hot movie!

Katie Holmes & Luke Kirby’s Passionate Love Scene

In the photos, Katie can be seen shirtless in just a bra, locking lips with Luke while on top of him. Her face is expressing pure desire, and Luke seems to be returning it in full.

He’s passionately pulling on Katie’s gorgeous brown hair in the photo while kissing her and pulling her in close for a tight embrace.

After the scene was over, Katie and Luke were spotted on the sidelines of the set laughing and joking together.

These two are either the best actors in the world or this love-making scene had a bit of actual emotion behind it — because it certainly looks real!

Katie Holmes & Luke Kirby: Romantically Linked Co-Stars?

Katie and Luke have been growing closer and closer to each other since the beginning of filming Mania Days, according to OK!. The two have been spotted out frequently grabbing their meals together and have been practically inseparable on set.

Their movie tells the story of two manic depressives who become romantically involved after meeting in a psychiatric ward, and this emotional story has reportedly been a launching pad for their real-life romance. “While making the film, there have been some genuinely funny moments, and some incredibly sad moments, so Luke and Katie became really close," a source told OK!.

It’s about time Katie moved on after her divorce from Tom Cruise. She’s still young and totally deserves another shot at love. And if this picture is any indication, she and Luke make a great, sexy couple! What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

Hollywood Life: Keyshawn Johnson Slams Justin Bieber For Speeding Scandal

Latest Hollywood Gossip, News & Celeb Pics
thumbnail Keyshawn Johnson Slams Justin Bieber For Speeding Scandal
Jun 1st 2013, 18:52

The Biebs’ retired NFL star neighbor is still fuming over his alleged speeding scandal! Amidst new reports that Justin wasn’t the one behind the wheel, Keyshawn says that Justin has to stop trying to evade responsibility and answer for his crimes.

Justin Bieber may be trying to avoid getting in trouble for allegedly speeding in his Calabasas, Calif. neighborhood, but he should also look out for his neighbor Keyshawn Johnson. Because the ex-NFL star is angry.

Keyshawn Johnson Disses Justin Bieber: He’s Entitled

“We try to get behind gates so we can enjoy our families and enjoy our lifestyle, but you got a 19-year-old kid feeling entitled speeding up and down the highway,” Keyshawn told TMZ. The retired football player is still hung up on the May 27 incident, when Justin was accused of dangerously speeding through his residential gated community.

Police reportedly answered multiple complaints by neighbors and have written up a reckless driving report on Justin that they are presenting to the district attorney’s office, an LA County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson told HollywoodLife.com. "It could lead to him being charged with reckless driving for driving at a startling high rate of speed," the spokesperson said. "We tried to talk to him last night but he declined to speak with us, we will keep trying.”

Justin Bieber’s Speeding Scandal: Was Tyler, The Creator Driving?

However, HollywoodLife.com also reported EXCLUSIVELY that Justin’s rapper friend Tyler, the Creator was actually the one driving on May 27. “Tyler was with Justin all weekend and he asked if he could take Justin's car for a spin," a source close to Justin told us. "Justin walked outside to grab the car and pull it into the garage once Tyler was back from driving around. But when he saw the police outside he walked back in because he didn't want to get involved since he wasn't the one driving. Tyler tried to tell police that he was the one driving but no one would listen to him.”

As for that report, Keyshawn believes it’s a boldfaced lie. “I know the difference between a black kid driving a car and white kid driving a car… I got biracial kids,” he said. The LASD stated that they were investigating this new development.

Keyshawn Johnson: Justin Bieber ‘Has To Answer To The D.A.’

Keyshawn continued saying he thinks Justin is just shirking responsibility for his actions and hiding behind “handlers, running around, kissing [his] ass.” When it all comes down to it, Keyshawn says, Justin is going to have to face the law: “He doesn’t have to answer to me, he has to answer to the D.A.”

Harsh words from the Biebs’ neighbor. We hope this whole mess gets figured out. If Justin really is guilty, he should own up to his mistake like Keyshawn says. And we think he also might have to move!

Hollywood Life: Kim Kardashian’s Baby Shower: 5 Things You Need To Know

Hollywood Life
Latest Hollywood Gossip, News & Celeb Pics
thumbnail Kim Kardashian's Baby Shower: 5 Things You Need To Know
Jun 1st 2013, 18:00

The pregnant reality star is celebrating her first child with a lavish shower on June 2, and HollywoodLife.com has all the details about her extravagant event!

Like everything else in Kim Kardashian‘s life, the baby shower celebrating the first child with her and boyfriend Kanye West is set to be an extravagant and glamorous event on June 2 — with reality cameras rolling, naturally.

1. Kim Kardashian’s Baby Shower Attire Is ‘Garden Chic’

Kim’s mom Kris Jenner and family friend Shelli Azoff are hosting the elaborate event, and each guest was invited with a precious music box invitation that shows a twirling ballerina (who resembles Kim), and plays Kanye’s hit song Hey Mama. The invite says the attire of the shower is garden chic — which is most likely going to be a little more toned down than her famous Met Ball gown.

2. The Shower Is At Irving Azoff’s House

HollywoodLife.com has learned EXCLUSIVELY from a source that the shower will be held at music manager Irving Azoff’s house, who is a close family friend of the Kardashians.

The location will be a change of pace for the Kardashians, who celebrated Kourtney Kardashian‘s two showers at Kris and Bruce Jenner‘s Calabasas, Calif. home.

3. Major Celebrities Were Invited To The Shower

Kim invited A-list mom Beyonce to her shower, which only makes sense since Jay-Z and Kanye are such good friends. Beyonce has a show in London on June 1, and not another show until her June 28 concert in Los Angeles, but no word on whether or not she will attend.

The mom-to-be also invited fellow expectant celebrity mom Fergie, who also lives in Los Angeles. I guess we’ll have to wait and find out if these superstars make it to the event!

4. Kim Is Revealing The Gender Of Her Baby To Guests

Even though Kim, Kanye and their close family and friends know the gender of their baby, Kim is revealing the big news to all of her guests during the celebration. The revelation comes on the same day as the season eight premiere of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, where the family will reveal the big news! Fans nationwide will also find out the gender of Kim’s baby on the same day as Kim’s guests — so there’s no room for the to accidentally be revealed by any loose-lipped shower attendees (ahem, Kathie Lee Gifford).

5. Kanye West Is Stopping By

After a report surfaced that Kim begged Kanye to come to her shower, sister Khloe Kardashian confirmed the good news on May 31 during an interview with Ryan Seacrest. She said Kanye will make an appearance at the end with her hubby Lamar Odom, and possibly Scott Disick.

"It's girls, but Kanye will come at the end…I think Scott [Disick] and Lamar might bring Kanye at the end, because Kanye feels it's a little weird if he's the only guy," Khloe said.

Hollywood Life: Kim Kardashian Satisfies Pregnancy Cravings With Frozen Yogurt

Jun 1st 2013, 17:47

You deserve this, Kim! The pregnant reality star was out on May 31 indulging in a nice frozen treat. But don’t think a little ice cream stopped her from looking totally chic!

Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy, needless to say, has definitely been out of the ordinary. She’s been in more tight dresses and more high heels than most pregnant women would dream of, and carrying a child hasn’t kept her from jet-setting across the globe and making numerous public appearances. That’s why it’s a real breath of fresh air when Kim does something truly characteristic of a pregnant woman — such as eating a bunch of frozen yogurt.

Kim Kardashian: Stylish Grabbing A Sugary Treat

The 32-year-old reality star was spotted out on May 31 reportedly grabbing a delicious bite of FroYo from Yogurt Delight in Los Angeles. She waited in the car while an assistant went and grabbed the delicious treat. We approve of both of these things — Kim staying off her feet and gorging on ice cream!

Though Kim K remained in the car, her pregnant style was still on display. She rocked a black long-sleeved top and her makeup — highlighted by a gorgeous pink lip shade — was flawless as usual.

After feasting on the frozen yogurt, Kim reportedly jetted off to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in Woodland Hills, where she met up with her family for a nice dinner.

Kim Kardashian Loves Frozen Yogurt

It’s really fun and refreshing to see Kim letting loose and going H.A.M. on some FroYo. As her due date rapidly approaches those hunger pangs must really be becoming insatiable. And apparently frozen yogurt has been Kim’s one true weakness all along.

"Her biggest fallback is Pinkberry — she goes there every day," a source close to Kim told Star magazine back in March.

Well we think the more the merrier — she’s eating for two! What do you think about Kim’s impromptu frozen yogurt trip, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

Hollywood Life: Alexis Wright: Zumba Instructor Sentenced 10 Months For Prostituion

thumbnail Alexis Wright: Zumba Instructor Sentenced 10 Months For Prostituion
Jun 1st 2013, 16:58

The trial of the Zumba instructor who was at the center of a salacious prostitution and conspiracy scandal finally came to an end on May 31. Alexis accepted a plea bargain to 20 misdemeanor counts that will land her in jail for close to a year.

Alexis Wright, 30, sat in a Maine courthouse on May 31, struggling to fight back tears as her trial came to a close. She had just been sentenced to 10 months in jail on counts of prostitution, conspiracy, tax evasion, and theft by deception, among others, but she professed that she was glad to finally be able to move on from her former life.

Alexis Wright: ‘I’m Free From This’

“In my eyes I’m free. I’m free from this,” she told the judge. “I have an incredible amount of strength that I knew was in me somewhere. Now that I have the strength I want to encourage others to come forward. I want them to know that there’s at least one person out there who’ll believe their story, no matter how crazy it seems.”

Alexis had been accused, along with her former partner Mark Strong, of running a prostitution business that videotaped over 100 clients without their knowledge, as well as making $150,000 tax-free and wrongfully receiving $40,000 in public assistance. Alexis was originally charged on 106 counts — the plea bargain she agreed to knocked that number down to 20, all misdemeanors.

Alexis Wright’s Scandal Whips Maine Into Frenzy

The scandal had sent the small seaside town of Kennebunk, Maine into a frenzy, as Alexis’ list of over 150 clients included many prominent figures, including an ex-mayor, a high school hockey coach, and a minister. So far, 68 of the accused clients have been charged and more than half have been convicted, according to the Associated Press. 40 more remain under investigation.

Alexis’ partner Mark was convicted on 13 counts relating to promotion of prostitution, and was sentenced to just 20 days in jail.

As the court proceedings wound down, the judge echoed Alexis’ belief that she can move on from these horrible mistakes and become a better person. “Based on what you have to say and what I know about you from your attorney, I know that you will succeed when you’re released and that you will prevail,” the judge said. “I wish you success.”

Hollywood Life: Selena Gomez Reveals Plans For Her 21st Birthday Party

Jun 1st 2013, 16:19

The big 2-1 is rapidly approaching for Selena, and you can tell she’s getting excited. In a new interview the singer revealed her plans for the big day. Will Justin Bieber be a part of them?

If you can believe it, Selena Gomez isn’t even 21 yet — but that’ll all change soon on July 22! It’s obviously a big milestone birthday, and the “Come & Get It” singer admitted that she plans to ring it in with a legendary party.

Selena Gomez’s Big 21st Birthday Party Plans

As the guest host of “New Music Live” on Canada’s MuchMusic on May 30, the subject of Selena turning 21 came up. A huge smile spread across the singer’s face as she acknowledged that her birthday on July 22 was going to be a big day and that turning 21 is such a big deal it deserves proper commemorating.

“Obviously in America 21 is the age,” Selena said while laughing, “so I’m gonna actually have a really big party. I wanna have a great party — I’m gonna invite my friends and my family, and I’m definitely gonna celebrate.”

The sexy singer then joked that she might “civilly” indulge in some champagne. Right, just champagne.

What Will Justin Bieber Do For Selena Gomez’s Birthday?

All this talk about Selena throwing a blowout party for her birthday has got us thinking — what are Justin Bieber’s plans for the big day?

Since the two are officially reunited and their relationship is going slow but steady, we’re assuming he definitely got an invite. But just showing up to his girlfriend’s party isn’t quite Justin’s style — he likely has something huge up his sleeve.

The Biebs conveniently has off days from his “Believe” tour on July 21 and 22, so nothing will be holding him back. Last year he gave a romantic speech at Selena’s birthday party that brought her to tears, so the bar has been set pretty high!

He outdoes himself all the time though, so we expect this year’s gifts and gestures to be out of this world. What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

Hollywood Life: Victoria Beckham: Why I Don’t Put My Makeup On In Front Of Baby Harper

Jun 1st 2013, 15:45

The Beckham family may have a new Posh member. Victoria and David Beckham’s two-year-old daughter Harper is mommy’s little makeup copycat!

It’s no doubt that Harper Beckham was going to follow mom Victoria Beckham‘s footsteps in being an extremely stylish fashion icon, but apparently she’s starting early. Harper loves to wear makeup just like mom!

Harper Takes After All Of Her Family Members

Victoria recently told the The Sun that Harper, the only girl amongst her three sibling brothers Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 10 and Cruz, 8, is a tomboy when she is around them. But when makeup is within reach, she can’t resist!

"I can't put on make-up when Harper's around, because she would join me immediately. She is a tomboy towards her brothers," she said.

Despite her makeup fetish, Harper doesn’t have a problem being one of the boys. She has been spotted with dad David Beckham sporting matching outfits, and David has even told HollyBaby.com exclusively that she’s a mix of her mom, dad and brothers.

"She is kicking the ball around (while) she is carrying handbags," he said.

Victoria Wants Her Kids To Stay Grounded

Even if Victoria eventually gives in to her adorable little girl and allows her to wear makeup, she told The Sun she wants to make sure her kids use their family’s fame for positive things, telling them being famous gives you a certain power to do good things and be happy.

“The kids are under a lot of pressure to perform. I don’t want to pressure them. They should be keen and reach as much as possible. But the most important thing is they are happy. They lead a very privileged life but they don’t get everything they ask for. We always tell them how lucky they are,” she added.

What do you think, HollyMoms? Should Victoria be concerned about Harper’s early make-up obsession?

So scary! The retired NBA All-Star is clinging onto life in an Atlanta hospital after his SUV crashed head-on with a van on May 31.

Daron “Mookie” Blaylock was involved in a ghastly car crash on May 31 when his SUV crossed the center line and collided head-on with a van. He is currently being held in guarded but critical condition in an Atlanta hospital, while one of the passengers in the van he hit was fatally injured.

Following the violent accident, Mookie was airlifted to the Atlanta Medical Center, Clayton County spokesperson Clarence Cox told ESPN. Meanwhile, Jonesboro Police Chief Franklin Allen reported that 43-year-old Monica Murphy, who was a passenger in the van that Mookie struck, died from fatal injuries just before 10 PM. Her husband Frankie Murphy, who was driving the van, sustained a broken ankle and was released from the hospital after going through treatment.

Mookie was initially placed on life support but has since been taken off of it, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

As for why Mookie’s car veered across the center line, the police chief told WSB-TV that the retired basketball player has a history of seizures, and that the police are investigating whether a seizure caused the accident.
