    Did Karrueche Tran dump Chris Brown?

    Rihanna reunited with Chris Brown in 3, 2, 1…

    • Mia 4S says:

      Oh God, bite your tongue Eve!…but you are probably right.

    • the original bellaluna says:

      Hi Eve! 😀 I hope you’re wrong, but I bet you’re not. I thought the same thing when I read that.

      • Eve says:

        Sorry. I just couldn’t think of a different outcome.

      • Amelia says:

        Eve, if you’ve tempted fate, you’re buying the first round of Cracktinis when we all drown our sorrows!

      • Eve says:

        Not fair! I’m paying for something I’m not going to drink (not a huge fan of alcohol)? Unless they’re jello shots off Cumberbatch’s stomach…I can get on board with that :D.

      • Lindy says:

        Chris Br–wha?!

        Sorry, got distracted by Eve’s discussion of doing jello shots off Cumby’s abs.

        Yum.

    • ladybert62 says:

      I am not surprised – he had a picture of his beat up ex girlfriend tattoed on his neck (deny it all you want scumbag chris brown, that is who it is pictured there) – would you want to be kissing that neck picture? GROSSSSSSSS !!!!

    • Kim says:

      If they did break up he dumped her.She was with him after the new tatoo.She knew he beats up girlfriends yet she still dated him

  2. Aria says:

    Natalie Portman blonde? Fugly.

    • Amelia says:

      I’m reserving judgement until I’ve seen better pictures of her. It’s kind of crappy light, and if she stays out of the sun and pales off a bit, she might pull it off.
      And I’ve been obsessed with Damian Lewis since Stormbreaker 🙂
      Does anyone remember that series he did called Life? Kind of slow, but fun characters.

  3. Mia 4S says:

    All I really knew Damien Lewis from was Band of Brothers, but that’s all you need! I’ll love most of that cast for life thanks to that series. Easy Company, Winters and Nix, Liebgott, Lipton, Bull, Speirs,… that’s it I need a marathon!

    • the original bellaluna says:

      Me too! HBO has got it On Demand and online, if you’re interested. 😉 (I’m finally watching Deadwood. Just finished season 1.)

    • Jennifer says:

      He was in the short lived tv show life – cancelled after 2 seasons…it was really good and he is dreamy…

    • januaries says:

      I fell in love with him as Winters. And, agreed, love the rest of them too. Best mini series ever. Whenever I see it’s on, I have to watch. I can’t help myself.

  4. Jennika says:

    Does anyone else think he looks like a gingered Steve Brady (sex and the city? Damien’s hotter though

  5. the original bellaluna says:

    Homeland has been “a thing” for me since the first time I saw the first episode. Sgt. Brody = YUMMY!! 😛

    • lucy2 says:

      Agreed! I’m not that attracted to him, but it’s such an amazingly good show.

      • the original bellaluna says:

        It’s not exactly a physical thing with me; it’s more the earnestness and honesty with which he plays his roles. I find it incredibly sexy.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        I would bone the SH*T out of Damien Lewis. I get why people may think he’s not that hot, or even funny-looking but Brody is SUCH a sexy character. Gah!

    • mllemonique says:

      Oh yes!

    • ZigZagZoey says:

      Happy Tuesday to you guys! ♥
      I just watched the first ep of Homeland (On Demand) last night, and I CANNOT wait to get home and watch more! I was HOOKED so fast!
      I just LOVE having good shows in my DVR ~ It’s almost like money in the bank to me!

    • ViktoryGin says:

      I ended up watching the entire first season over the course of three days back in January purely for the fact that DL is in it, and I just have to say that I’ve haven’t enjoyed a show so immensely in a long time. I’m completely addicted. Can’t wait for season two next week.

      And to all the Damien fans, if you haven’t checked out the Forsyte Saga you absolutely must. It’s probably my favorite vehicle of his. He is so prodigiously talented.

  6. Honey Poo Poo formally known as beyonce's bump says:

    And a very sexy accented ginge at that!

  7. mila says:

    I agree, Damien’s butt is quite nice.
    Natalie looks washed out, saw pics on huffington. Blonde is not her color.

  8. suki says:

    Homeland is a thing now because it rocks…and Claire Danes is amazing in it. I was seriously concerned for her well-being last year after the finale!

    Loved his speech too.

  9. L says:

    Wasn’t homeland always a thing? It’s always been great.

    I’d second that Damien Lewis is also fantastic in Life (only 2 seasons, but they were great) He’s also great in the forseyth saga and in the modern Shakespeare series:much ado about nothing. He makes a great benedict.

  10. the original bellaluna says:

    HIMYM is back on tonight! 😀 YAY!

    • Erinn says:

      Thank goodness…. I’m just waiting for the series to be over. I used to love the show. But I can’t handle Ted’s whineyness anymore, and I could never stand Robin.

      I’ll still watch it every week though haha. It’s like a part of my routine at this point.

      • the original bellaluna says:

        hee-hee! 😀 I’m getting a little sick of Ted’s whining, as well. But I only started watching it on FX & Lifetime (I’ve managed to catch up on most of the eps), and then started watching on prime-time season before last.

        Last Words and Marshall going to visit his father’s grave are my two faves, I think. We’ll see what happens this season.

  11. mycousinbrynnie says:

    First time poster, long time reader. Had to say I’m so glad to see that there are other folks out there who remember Life! I loved that show!

  12. neelyo says:

    I loved him in PBS’ THE FORSTYE SAGA. So glad that he’s having such success.

    • Marta says:

      As Soames Forsyte he was absolutely GREAT!!He is my Mr Ginger Right:)

    • Lindy says:

      Another fan of his portrayal of Soames Forsyte, here. haven’t seen Homeland yet. But I definitely plan to watch it!

    • Pamela says:

      He deserved the emmy just for The Forsythe Saga alone..he was so good in it.

      • Marta says:

        yes he was absolutely best soames , both strong and frail, wanted to be loved but could not accept no. but Irene(mcGee) in this adaptation I really hated,She is not accurate to book physicaly( too long and spinky – plus all those horrible hats)not even as person was she right. But it help me to hate her especielly when Fleur was crying ouside the house and this selfish bitch start to play piano.
        You knowtthis is one of my favorite books so it takes a lot to bee accepte d in my eyes:) But Soames was GRATEST!!

  13. fabgrrl says:

    Damn! Uncle Jesse still looks exactly the same as he did 25 years ago.

  14. Stacie says:

    Damian Lewis makes me Swoon big time . I’ve been stalking / following him since Band of Brothers with Fassy . 😀

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Oh my god…Fassy was in Band of Brothers??? Had no idea! Now this gives me the perfect excuse to watch BoB for the 4th time 🙂

  15. cr says:

    For some reason I wasn’t paying attention to him in BoB, but I started noticing him in the BBC miniseries Peacekeepers/Warriors.

  16. Riana says:

    Chris Brown has always been single…in Chris Brown’s mind. Chris Brown does not have girlfriends, he has anatomically female accessories who are there to make Chris Brown look good.

    If you’re an extra special good accessory Chris Brown will commemorate your time with Chris Brown by getting a tattoo of you. Chris Brown is not a bad guy after all. Chris Brown loves the bitches and hugs puppies.

  17. Jennika says:

    The Cracken just got sent to the hospital for a lung infection

  18. Garvels says:

    I saw this jerk in an interview and he came off as an arrogant douche.

    • Happymom says:

      Bite your tongue. I think he’s just very English and dryly funny and sometimes his humor doesn’t quite “translate”.

  19. Sachi says:

    Soames!!! His character was insufferable in the Forsyte Saga but I still liked him much better than Rupert Graves’s (another hottie) character Jolyon. 😀 IMO that’s when you know someone is a great actor. He makes you root for/sympathize with the ‘villain’. Same with his performance in Homeland. 😉

    I used to watch Band of Brothers every night. Every night, until I fell asleep. It never gets old. Every episode is just wonderfully done, and Damien Lewis was brilliant in it.

    Happy to see him and his work getting recognized.

    • ViktoryGin says:

      Loved the Forsyte Saga. He’s such a rich performer, who’s capable of slowly peeling away the layers of very complex characters.

  20. Bubbling says:

    Karruche Tran is gorgeous, isn’t she?! What do ladies even see in Chris? Physically he looks like malnourished Lucifer(especially when laughing), I won’t even go the mental…

  21. Sway says:

    He always looked to me kind of like a ginger Bruce Willis. He has a horse face and I don’t get his appeal, ginger or not, but I like his acting. HOMELAND rulz!

  22. pinchofsalt says:

    Homeland is such a great show. So happy the show did so well at the awards. And as for the Ginger, he is quite cute.

  23. Mew says:

    Damian Lewis was the sole reason why I watched through Band of Brothers. He rocks so hard, you would never guess when you just take a look at him like this.

  24. Dee says:

    Damien Lewis is a fine actor who tends to be viewed as a really, really fine actor because he’s a Brit, IMO. There is no American acting institution who will not gived an award to a Brit or an Aussie instead of a Yank whenever it is remotely plausible.

    • ViktoryGin says:

      I’m going to respectively disagree. While a concede that there is a certain degree of snob appeal based on Britain’s thespian culture, there are just as many very talented Brits who arrive stateside and fail miserably because they don’t land the right vehicles…Ioan Gruffudd, Jason Isaac, Rufus Sewell, to name a few. I don’t see organizations tossing awards in their direction.

      But admittedly there does seem this anglophile to be romance occuring, as evidenced by the proliferation of Brits in American film and television, especially. I don’t mind. I tend to prefer them. There is something to be said for “training”, something to which many of my compatriots seem allergic.

  25. Shelly says:

    I watched the entire first season of Homeland the last 2 days. It is AWESOME! I don’t know why it took me so long to finally watch it. I am officially obsessed.
