10 Celebrities Who Look Just Like Disney Characters

Tom Welling

Tom Welling is Eric from “The Little Mermaid”. Case closed. That jaw line, dark flowing hair and beautiful blue eyes. Let’s all take a minute to look at this comparison. Sigh. He got his start on the popular television series “Smallville” and for being a general dream boat. 

                                                                                                                                                                  

While Mandy Moore was the voice of Rapunzel, we think that Amanda Seyfried is a much better match. She has those beautiful green eyes and long golden hair- look at the similarities! Amanda Seyfried is known for her work on the television series “Veronica Mars” and started filming movies such as “In Time”, “Chloe”, and “Mean Girls”.

2. Chris Colfer

Known for his role on the television series “Glee”, Chris Colfer could have another gig as Pinocchio! Give us a second here: the rosy high cheeks, the big eyes, all you need is to add a hat/wig and a hilarious little outfit. Apparently everyone else sees this resemblance too! When asked about it during an interview for PR.com, he said, “I really want to be Pinocchio, if Disney ever did ‘Pinocchio’ on Broadway. Actually, some of my fans I think started a Facebook petition for me to do that. But I would love to do it, maybe in-between seasons of ‘Glee.’ It’s always been a goal.

 We think that Lily Cole is a dead ringer for Merida from Disney and Pixar’s ‘Brave.’ All we have to do is slack a bow and arrow set in her arms and dress her up! It should not be a hard sell, she is a model after all. She started modelling at the age of 14 and continues trekking around the world for high profile shows and magazine shoots for designers like Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs, and Prada.

 Hannah Simone has been in the show business for a long time. This Canadian got her start as a fashion model, became a television host for a music network and now stars in the hugely successful television series “New Girl” with Zooey Deschanel. We think that this beauty would be a great Jasmine given the change. The stunning dark hair, expressive eyes and spunky attitude are all a perfect match! Her independent and sassy attitude screams Jasmine.

 Best known for her role on the wildly successful television series “Scandal”, Kerry Washington is building her reputation for being a versatile actress, starring in films like “Django”.  We also think she would be a perfect Tiana from “The Princess and the Frog”! She is elegant, sassy and has those beautiful eyes. All we need to do is slap a frog in her hand! We think she might be a little too busy to work at Disney with all her appearances and upcoming baby.

Kanye West Reveals Why He Won't Appear On Kim Kardashian's Reality Show

 



Kanye West has been doing more press than ever in support of his Yeezus tour, and when he and fiancee Kim Kardashian stopped by New York radio station Hot 97 on Monday (Nov. 25), the couple didn't hold back.
The interview touched on everything from the couple's relationship, to West's frustration with the fashion industry, to his very surprising explanation for why he decided not to be filmed for the Kardashians' reality show.
"I don't really do her show just because I don't particularly like the way the producers shoot some of the shots. I'm very meticulous to that, right? I like to get a different [director of photography] or whatever," he explained. "And when we got engaged, I made sure the show was there [filming] because I felt like that was something that would make her happy. Regardless of how it was shot, I felt like this is a moment she would like to have and would like to share, and just have that documented. And we could decide later or not to air it."
With those comments in mind, it looks like those rumors about the couple's impending nuptials possibly being televised aren't as far-fetched as initially thought -- just as long as West retains creative control over how it's filmed.
The 36-year-old rapper, who is clearly head-over-heels in love with Kardashian, went on to talk about another admission he made during his show at Madison Square Garden on Sunday (Nov. 24), when he revealed that his 2010 song "Lost In The World," started out as a poem that he emailed to the reality star. It proves the couple has had a very long courtship, since they didn't officially start dating until April 2012.
Yes, West said he's in it for the long haul, and says, "Our love story's a love story for the ages."
"I felt like when we first got together, it was like a 'Romeo and Juliet' kinda thing where it's like she's a reality star and I'm a rapper, and people talking about how our brands connect and what doesn't fit and I'm just so tired of the conversation of brands," he told Hot 97's radio host Angie Martinez.
While West is smitten by the lady he sees as "the most beautiful woman of all time," or "arguably human existence," it's apparent that the relationship has changed Kardashian as well. When Martinez noted that it seems like Kardashian has "muted a little bit" since getting together with West, the rapper was quick to bring up the time Kardashian blasted Katie Couric on Instagram for being a "fake media friend."
"Katie Couric sent us a baby gift for our daughter. It was really sweet and I loved it. And then she went and did an interview and said, 'Oh, I don't know why the Kardashians are famous.' Like dissing us," Kim explained, adding that she found Couric's note with the baby gift and took a photo of it, before asking West if he thought she should put it on Instagram and "blast her for fake being nice."
Not surprisingly, West was all for it, he "just wanted to make the card symmetrical in the Instagram picture. I hate asymmetry, I want it ... but it was her idea," he chimed in.

Deitrick Haddon Expecting another Baby Girl from Dominique

When I found out Dominique was pregnant, it was a surprise and a blessing at the same time. Both my children were surprises to me, but they’re here, and I am grateful. I always wanted kids, and God saw me fit to bless me with a family — and he’s blessing me fast! Dominique can certainly have babies really strong. Plus, Dominique and I are really attracted to each other, physically, spiritually and emotionally, so I have to be careful or I’ll suddenly have 12 children with her!
We’re having another baby girl! Destin really needs a baby sister, because she needs to stop bossing me around. We’re naming her Denver Monroe Haddon, unless I get an epiphany and decide to change it. But we’re definitely sticking with the D names: Deitrick, Dominique, Destin, Denver.
The wedding was perfect. When I saw Destin walk down the aisle, she let me know that the test, the trial, the persecution was all worth it. It was God telling me: “Deitrick through it all, I’m still rewarding you, even through your failures, I’m still blessing you.” Yet, according to people, I was wrong. I’m not a man of God…Because of my daughter? At the end of the day, a child is a blessing of the Lord. Seeing that really lifted a load off my shoulders, and at the end of the day, I’m winning.
Then, when I saw Dominique come after her, it was   overwhelming for me. I’m a man’s man. I don’t believe in crying, but I couldn’t contain myself. I was thinking about all that Dominique had gone through. She didn’t ask for this world. She’s beautiful, educated, she has degrees, she’s not trying to be a pastor’s wife and all that. I realize that I came with baggage. But at that moment, it was about us. Nothing else mattered, and I realized it was worth the fight.
I’ve come a very long way since Dominique and I first met. I come from a world where image is everything, but you can’t lose who you really are in all that. When my public image was smeared because of my actions, it left me in a place where I had nowhere else to go but to God, and to look to who I really was. I’ve learned more about me, Deitrick, not the public figure. Not the guy who gets up and preaches or the singer who does music videos, but about Deitrick, Dee Dee (my nickname back home).
One thing I’ve also learned is that, as a leader, we’re responsible to lead by example in our highs and in our lows. A pastor should be an example of what a man is supposed to be when he makes a mistake, or hits bottom. You can learn even more from your failures than you can from your victories.
This show gave me the opportunity to demonstrate how you walk through a situation like that, and come out okay. I now get messages from people saying they saw the show, and it made them want to go to church and reconnect with their spirituality again, or they proposed to their girlfriends because of seeing me marry Dominque. That’s huge! The thing to take away is: you WILL make mistakes. To expect to live 80 years and not fail somewhere – it’s impossible.

Justin Bieber Bodyguard Filmed In Sydney Knife Attack On Paparazzo Car

Attack On Paparazzo Car

One of Justin Bieber’s bodyguards has been caught on film knifing a paparazzo’s car tires during a row in Sydney late Thursday night.
The 19-year-old is in Australia for the last leg of his Believe tour. He flew into the capital after his sold-out show in Brisbane on Wednesday night.
The incident was filmed as it happened by the paparazzo after Bieber’s convoy pulled over on the road in an attempt to stop the lensman from following the teen star, Australian news site Nine MSN reports.

In the footage, Bieber’s bodyguard — Hugo Hesny, who has previously been named in an alleged assault on a photographer — is seen advancing towards the man’s car before kicking it numerous times and using a knife to slash the vehicle’s tire.
The bodyguard is then seen trying to remove the paparazzo’s pushbike from the back of the car.
“He just kicked the door. Mate, it’s on camera, it’s on camera buddy. It’s on camera, it’s on camera buddy,” the man said to the guard, while filming from inside his vehicle and apparently talking to a passenger.
After being told to leave the vicinity by the bodyguard, the paparazzo yelled, “I don’t have to go nowhere mate. This is Australia!”
The photographer added, “Keep going. Mate, you turned into a good story, keep going. 
Band of brothers rally around boy, 6, to stop teasing

Justin and his crew partied at John Ibrahim’s Kings Cross nightclub, The Back Room, on Thursday night where Believe tour deejay Tay James performed a set.
This knife incident comes amid a row over the superstar’s spray-painting of graffiti at a Gold Coast hotel he stayed at in Queensland.
Bieber tagged a series of colorful images on an external wall in the grounds of the QT Hotel in the early hours of Wednesday post-concert.
He has since been slammed by Gold Coast City Mayor Tom Tate and the Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie, despite being given explicit permission by the hotel to graffiti.
The mayor has publicly asked Justin to clean up his “mess” or perform at a Christmas Carol show in Queensland on December 7.
Meanwhile, the Gold Coast city council has ordered the QT Hotel to either remove or paint over the artwork despite it being on private property, claiming it is in “prominent public view.”
The Surfers Paradise hotel says it wants to preserve Bieber’s graffiti and has made several public statements praising the tableau, while describing the singer as “a lovely, young guy.”
In an email to Reuters, the QT Hotel wrote, “The piece of artwork will be left for fans to enjoy. We believe it is a wonderful addition to the colorful Gold Coast arts scene.”
The Canadian star will perform at Sydney’s Allphones Arena on Friday and Saturday.
Concert dates in Melbourne and Adelaide follow before his Believe tour odyssey wraps in Perth on December  8

Lostprophets' Ian Watkins admits sex offences including attempted rape of baby

Singer pleads guilty to 11 charges in last-minute change of plea before what would have been his trial at Cardiff crown court.

The rock singer Ian Watkins has pleaded guilty to a string of sex offences involving children, including the attempted rape of a baby.
Watkins, the 36-year-old lead singer and founder member of the now-disbanded Lostprophets, had been due to face trial at Cardiff crown court but changed his pleas at the last moment.
The jury had been warned they would have to examine disturbing images and arrangements were already in hand for them to receive counselling at the end of the case.
But Watkins, whose band has sold around 3.5m albums world wide, admitted 11 charges – though he claimed he had no memory of what would have been key video evidence showing a one-year-old victim being abused, because he had been taking drugs on the day in question.
As well as the attempted rape, the charges admitted by Watkins included encouraging a woman to abuse a child during a webcam chat. He also pleaded guilty to making images of child sexual abuse.
Christopher Clee QC, prosecuting, said the crown had accepted Watkins's pleas partly to spare the jury the trauma of watching explicit video footage.
Clee branded Watkins, from Pontypridd in south Wales, a "determined and committed paedophile". The court heard of an exchange with a woman offering him a "summer of child porn". He replied: "Hell yes baby."
Two women, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared alongside Watkins and also admitted sex offences involving children.
The court heard that the two women were fans in their twenties who sexually abused their babies, a boy and girl, at the behest of Watkins – and were prepared to make the children available to him for sex.
It emerged that GCHQ helped crack the passwords on Watkins' computer to get access to the criminal images he had stored there.
Police found drugs including crack cocaine and crystal meth on Watkins. Tests showed that one of the children had been "exposed" to crystal meth.
Detectives worked with other British police forces and agencies, the child exploitation and online protection centre, local authorities in England and Wales. But they also liaised with Interpol and the department of homeland security in the US.
Wearing a grey suit with a white shirt and dark tie, his black and grey hair shaped into a quiff, Watkins continually looked to his barrister as he made his admissions.
Catrin Evans, the head of the Crown Prosecution Service's complex casework unit for Wales, said: "The three defendants in this case have admitted very serious sexual offences committed against extremely young children, demonstrating sexual exploitation at its worst.
"A number of the victims are too young to be able to understand what has happened to them, yet the defendants exploited them for their own gratification.
"The prosecution case is based on robust evidence uncovered by the investigation team and the South Wales police high-tech crime unit. The CPS team worked closely with the police to build a strong case and this has been a major factor in today's guilty pleas.
"The CPS will not tolerate child abuse. Tackling this unacceptable crime is a priority for all of us in the criminal justice system.
"We have recently issued new guidelines for prosecutors dealing with child abuse cases and are committed to supporting victims and bringing those who abuse and exploit children before the courts."
Unusually, after Watkins was charged in December last year, South Wales police named him and asked anyone with information to come forward.
In a statement, it said: "In order to assist their investigation South Wales police has named the man as Ian Watkins, a member of the rock group Lostprophets."
The statement said Watkins and two women had been arrested as part of a "continuing investigation" codenamed Operation Globe and had been questioned at Cardiff Bay police station.
NEW STARTS
On Tuesday, Detective Chief Inspector Peter Doyle, of South Wales police, said: "This investigation has uncovered the most shocking and harrowing child abuse evidence I've ever seen.
"There is no doubt in my mind that Ian Watkins exploited his celebrity status in order to abuse young children.
"Today's outcome does not mark the end of our investigations and we will work tirelessly to identify any other victims."
NEW ENDS
Experts from the NSPCC were also involved at a very early stage.
John Cameron, the head of child protection operations for the NSPCC, said at the time of Watkins's first court appearance: "We can confirm we are working alongside South Wales police and the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre on this investigation.
"It's vital we send a clear message to those who have experienced abuse that they can never be to blame for what has happened to them, that they have somewhere to turn and that they will be taken seriously."
Co-founded by Watkins in the south Wales town of Pontypridd in 1997, Lostprophets released five albums, the latest of which, Weapons, came out in April 2012. The group have had two singles, Last Train Home and Rooftops, in the UK top 10. The other members of Lostprophets announced last month that the band were splitting up.
Watkins and the two women will be sentenced next month.

Pre-nuptial agreement: Kanye West banned Kim Kardashian from undergoing cosmetic surgery

What is he looking at?

The ‘Stronger‘ hitmaker – whose mother Donda tragically died from surgery complications after a breast reduction and liposuction in 2007 – is having a clause written into their pre-nuptial agreement stating she will have to pay a reported $500,000 if she has any work done and he is said to have warned her their wedding is off if she goes under the knife before their big day after discovering an email from a surgeon about secret plans for surgery.
A source said: ‘Kim met with her surgeon to discuss having a nose job and liposuction on her thighs and tummy before their wedding next summer. ’She was planning to do it in March when Kanye would be working in Paris. She hoped by the time he returned to Los Angeles she would have healed and Kanye would never know.
‘He flipped and said if she went ahead with the procedures then the wedding was off.’ Kim is currently managed by her mother, Kris Jenner, but Kanye – who has a five-month-old daughter, North West, with the socialite – is also having a clause inserted into the pre-nup which limits the control his future mother-in-law will have.
The insider explained to Heat magazine: ‘Kanye’s also inserted a mother-in-law clause which means Kris will have no say in decisions which affect them as a couple. Even work ones.’ The pair will also have to pay financial penalties if one of them cheats on the other, though insiders insist this is a ‘standard’ clause.
The source added: ‘There’s also an infidelity clause like Khloe and Lamar had, which states they would receive $250,000 if the other person cheats, and a drug clause stating both would be subject to random drug testing at the other’s wishes. It’s standard – they’re just planning for every eventuality.’

American Music Awards Red Carpet(PHOTOS)

The Oscars they were not.
The American Music Awards hit Los Angeles on Sunday night and brought with them a slew of loud, statement-making dresses. Jennifer Hudson tried out a bright orange "mullet dress" by Christian Dior, while Heidi Klum vamped it up in an intricate black lace cutout fringe gown by Marchesa.
Ke$ha's dress was a toned-down black, but the thigh-high cutaway plus her pastel hair kept things, um, interesting. Rihanna went with a two-piece black number by Jean Paul Gaultier Couture, complete with a strapless bikini-like top and a sheer-bottomed skirt. Even Zoe Saldana's Roland Mouret dress was rather adventurous for her, with a pale blue ribbon down the side and two-toned patchwork print. And Taylor Swift? Well, her dress was gold, glittery and short, and it boasted a cutout (covered, but still) on top. Guess she knew Harry Styles was going to be in the audience...
Ironically, Katy Perry had one of the simplest, most low-key looks of the night. Check out those stars and more in the red carpet slideshow below. Any looks you like?

Baldwin Suspended From MSNBC After Homophobia Scandal

Alec Baldwin's MSNBC show was pulled from the network's schedule for two weeks on Friday following the actor's latest homophobia scandal. Baldwin was embroiled in controversy after he was caught on tape swearing at a photographer. Most people thought he called the man a "c--ksucking f--g"; Baldwin denied saying the latter word, but apologized for saying the former one. In a statement, Baldwin apologized for his outburst: I did not intend to hurt or offend anyone with my choice of words, but clearly I have – and for that I am deeply sorry. Words are important. I understand that, and will choose mine with great care going forward. What I said and did this week, as I was trying to protect my family, was offensive and unacceptable. Behavior like this undermines hard-fought rights that I vigorously support...I want to apologize to my loyal fans and to my colleagues at msnbc – both for my actions and for distracting from their good work. MSNBC made no comment about the simmering scandal for days—something that led to heated criticism. Other cable news hosts, such as Anderson Cooper, also attacked Baldwin for making the comments. Baldwin is not the first MSNBC host to face a suspension for comments made outside the network. Most famously, Ed Schultz was yanked from the air for a week for calling talk show host Laura Ingraham a "slut." source:hoffpost

Angelina Jolie: An Inspiration At The Governors Awards

Angelina Jolie turned the 2013 Governors Awards into a family affair. With Brad Pitt and their son Maddox in tow, Jolie was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award — by George Lucas, no less. Though her sparkly black gown was, indeed, stunning, it's her acceptance speech that deserves all the attention. As the 86th recipient of the award, the actress took the opportunity to honor her mother, a woman who, as Jolie explained, never had the opportunity to express herself through acting the way she had hoped. She, instead, would live that life through her children. "Nothing would mean anything if I didn't live a life of use to others," the actress said, recounting her mother's advice. Humbled, Jolie continued to thank those who have helped her achieve her dreams and laid the trajectory of her career, explaining the importance of knowing how to use her fame to do good. "Across the world, there's a woman just like me with the same abilities and the same desires, same work ethic and love for her family, who would most likely make better films and better speeches. Only she sits in a refugee camp, and she has no voice. She worries about what her children will eat, how to keep them safe, and if they'll ever be allowed to return home. I don't know why this is my life, and that's hers. I don't understand that, but I will do as my mother asks." Hopefully, you've got a box of tissues by your side — you're gonna need it. source:R29

Russell Brand Banned From South Africa

Justin Bieber Has Some Money Problems

Justin Bieber has some money problems and it's all because of his monkey problem.
Back in March, Bieber's pet monkey, Mally, was seized by German officials when the singer tried to bring the animal into the country without permission during a stop on his "Believe" tour, People magazine previously reported. Without the proper paperwork, Munich authorities seized the monkey and quarantined it at the airport.
In May, it became the property of Germany and Bieber was sent a bill of $1,500 in July for the monkey's care, according to the Associated Press.
That bill has yet to be paid.
Germany's Federal Agency for Nature Conservation told Celebuzz Bieber owes them $11,000, or 8,088 Euros, to date. And that number keeps growing. Attorney Ellen Frederichs has tried to get in touch with the pop star, as recently as Wednesday (Nov. 13), but to no avail.
“As Mr. Bieber should be informed about his payment obligations by now, we hope that he takes his responsibility and settles the costs he has caused to the public, just like anybody else would have to do," Frederichs told Celebuzz. “If Mr. Bieber will not settle his costs, the payment might have to be enforced when he enters Germany again.”
In September, HLN reported Mally is currently living with a group of other Capuchin monkeys at the Serengeti Park, a wildlife refuge in North Germany. At that time, the 19-year-old owed the German government $8,000 for things like vaccinations and re-homing fees.

Big Stars Exposed As Drug Addicts

Michael Jackson's people have just thrown Britney Spears, George Michael, Van Halen, Aerosmith and other big names under a big tour bus, because MJ's people have just labeled them hard-core drug abusers just to make a point in a lawsuit.

Here's the deal.  Lloyds of London has refused to pay  benefits under an insurance policy that AEG took out in case MJ was not able perform for the "This Is It" tour.  Lloyds rejected the claim on grounds Michael and AEG defrauded the company by failing to fess up that MJ was a drug abuser.

Now the bus.  The Michael Jackson Company (MJC) sued Lloyds, demanding payment.  MJC claims in public documents -- obtained by TMZ -- that a number of artists, including Britney, George, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Kings of Leon, AC/DC, Johnny Hallyday and Whitney Houston all were known drug addicts and all of them applied for similar insurance to Lloyds.

MJC wants to see how the other rock stars were treated to determine if Michael is being singled out unfairly.

Short story -- to make their case, they're going to tar and feather every other rock star and act in sight.
