Just Who is Olivia Munn.. ?

In case you haven't heard, Attack of the Show has a new co-host, the lovely, talented Olivia Munn... But just who is this Olivia Munn? I sat down with her to get the answer to this burning question.

So just who is this Olivia Munn?

That’s a great question. I came from a small town in…You’re really gonna ask me that question?

What did I do wrong?

You need to be more specific.

Crap. Okay, how about: “what were you doing before you got the gig hosting Attack of the Show?"

Better. I was born Oklahoma, raised in Japan, and I’ve always done theater, since I was really little. I begged my mother with everything I had in my body to come out to California, and she let me. Last fall I shot my first TV show, a re-occuring character on this new show where I play a 16 year old surfer. She’s called a “Titta” in Hawaiian. Titta means “tough chick” in Hawaian, so I play a tough chick.  I shot that, and I’m about to shoot a movie with Rob Schneider. I booked role in his new movie! It’s called Big Stan, and I play his receptionist, and he’s a sleazy real estate agent.  I had lots of commercial work and print work. Basically, I’m living the life of an actress in L.A. And I’ve recently had some pretty good fortune.

Sounds like things are going along really well. And with the role on Attack of the Show, that’s shooting for the stars.

With the new direction the show is going, it will be going to the stars.

Have you ever done live TV before?

I used to be a sideline reporter for Fox Sports, doing college football, and womens’ basketball courtside, so I’ve done it before. But this is so much easier because I feel much more comfortable with myself. When I was working with Fox Sports, they’d put me in these big jackets—

That’s a crime!

I know! So they’d put me in these big jackets and I’d talk like this (imitating cheesy announcer voice) “So, what were you thinking in the second half when-" and that’s not my voice and not my cadence and I was trying to be something I wasn’t, and that made me really uncomfortable on live TV. But today I did my first Attack of the Show, and I’m a much more chill person now that I know who I am and know my own voice, so I don’t really get nervous with live TV at all.

Not nervous at all? Like even a little bit?

Not at all. I was nervous a little before I came on. Which was a little weird. I didn’t expect it from myself.  I was thinking “Man. It’s live.” Everyone kept asking me, “Are you excited?” The answer was “I’m really looking forward to it and I’m really happy, but being excited and giddy…" I was excited when it happened, when everything worked out with G4, but now I’m like, “Okay. What’s next? What’s next?”  I’m just focused on doing the job and doing it great.

What do you think of your cohost Kevin Pereira so far?

I really like Kevin. Kevin’s like having a brother… I’m sure he doesn’t like for girls to say that to him, but he’s like a brother. You know how some people are really jokey or really giddy, but they’re not naturally like that but trying to be that person? They’re really annoying. But Kevin genuinely is that guy, so it doesn’t annoy me. People can annoy me pretty easily, and I’ll call you on it. But I really like Kevin. He’s down-to-earth, and he is who he is. He's just a really sweet guy.

Are you the same off camera as you are on-camera?

I am. I can’t imagine being any other way. I might smile a little more on-camera. You’ll have to tell me whether I’m the same or not.

What do you think of Sarah Lane?

Sarah is awesome. What you guys have done in the past is awesome. But I’m a completely different person, and the show is going in a totally new direction, so I tried to not watch too many of the shows. I mean, I watched it enough to get familiar with it, but I don’t want to be thinking of what you used to do. It’s a new day. G4’s going to a new level, and I hope that I start off on that next level and keep going. I don’t want to mimic anyone. If I was to watch Sarah a lot, I might start to mimic her.

So you’re also hosting Formula D...

Yes. I think I’m doing every show you guys have and the Website. I’m going to be doing your job next. In fact, lemme sit down at your desk and get started. Seriously, I started to watch some Formula D videos from last year, and I turned it off so I wouldn’t imitate how that reporter was doing it and that’s just not me.

What will you bring to Attack of the Show?

That’s a hard question. I hope I bring a new breath. A different angle. I’ll bring something really cool to the show.  I hope to bring more viewers. I’m a different kind of girl. I think, just from talking with the people at G4,  I embody what they want for the next level. I hope I bring that. A new look, a new feel, a new voice.  Okay. I’m done answering this question.

Tell me about the new voice you’ll bring.

I’m really sarcastic. Not Morgan Webb sarcastic. She’s dry, 100%. I'm different from her. You’ll see!

I have one more question, on behalf of the entire Internets that will read this and look at your picture: Can I take you out for a hamburger sandwich or a chicken dinner?

I love chicken!

Is that a “yes”?

Yes.

You hear that, the internets?! Sweet!

I love chicken. That’s the way to my heart. Hey, wanna hear me beatbox?

Hell yeah.

(At this point, Olivia delivers a three minute human beatbox routine that is the sweetest thing you’ll ever hear. Audio file coming soon.)

Can I change my last question about the chicken dinner?

Sure.

Will you marry me instead?

Yes.

You hear that, The Internets? Eat it, bitches!

I’m really easy, by the way. Seriously.

Kristina Will Give First Interview To Oprah Winfrey

Whitney Houston‘s daughter Bobbi Kristina will speak out for the first time ever in an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey that will air on the media queen’s new TV show, “Oprah’s Next Chapter.”

Bobbi Kristina, who just turned 19 years old this past Sunday, will join her aunt Patricia (Whitney’s sister-in-law/manager) and uncle Gary (Whitney’s brother) in the 1-hour TV special that is scheduled to air on the OWN network next Sunday (Mar 11).

According to a press release, the one-hour special will allow Bobbi Kristina, Whitney’s only child, to “[share] personal memories of her mom and how she would like the iconic superstar to be remembered.”

Oprah’s last interview with Whitney Houston while she was alive aired back in 2009 when the R&B icon was planning a comeback with her album “I Look to You” following a very public divorce and public battle with drug abuse.

Oprah Winfrey was one of the guests invited to Houston’s funeral in Newark, New Jersey last month.

Whitney Houston was found dead in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on Saturday, February 11th. She was 48 years old.

An exact cause of death has yet to be determined as investigators await toxicology tests that could take up to 6 weeks to return.

Sources revealed to US Weekly that Bobbi Kristina, Whitney’s only child with her ex husband Bobby Brown, has been taking the loss of her mother extremely hard.

“Her mama died, so she broke down. Nobody expected her to pass as quickly as she did. [Bobbi Kristina] had a nervous breakdown,” Houston family member Ray Watson told Us of the teen, who was hospitalized for stress and anxiety one day after her mother was found dead February 11 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

“She’s got to stay strong and be with her family, and [around that] love,” former Jackson 5 crooner Jermaine Jackson told Us of the grief-stricken Bobbi Kristina.”She’s gotta embrace her family.”

Bobbi Kris was obviously very close to her mother, so it will be interesting to find out what she shares in this first interview.

Olivia Munn Leaked Photos Are Fake 2012

Olivia Munn Leaked Photos Are Fake 2012

The American model, comedian and “The Daily Show” correspondent Olivia Munn is the another celebrity who is the latest victim of phone hacking leaked photos. There are several racy photos of Olivia Munn which surfaced online.

Are these photos fake same like Christina Handricks or Black Lively? A source close to the Olivia Munn told TMZ that the photos which are circulating in the Web are definitely fake. There are millions of Web users are also clicking to know that are these photos real of fake.

Olivia Munn is the another celebrity who is the latest victim of phone hacking leaked photos.

Olivia, who recently posed in January for PETA’s “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign, also wrote on her Twitter account while reacting on her leaked photos, “If you ever hacked my phone, these are the pictures you’d find.” She also posted photos of a cat and baby.

Photos of Olivia Munn were leaked after she claims her cell phone was hacked. The photos that were leaked with her clothes on showed her face, so that left little doubt as to her identity. Other photos showing a woman without a face, but without clothes on were also leaked, and the claim was made that those photos were also of Olivia, which she denied. There were photo shoots that were done at Olivia’s home that showed exactly the same bathroom as those that showed the girl without clothes on standing in, but that could have been a coincidence. 

This is all speculation and my opinion, based on what I’ve seen and read about this matter, as is the title of this post, which is simply meant to help people find this information, and not a matter of fact.

She is not alone to face flood of leaked photos—Christina Hendricks is also ready to face to the huge disaster of criticism of leaked photos because she is the another latest celebrity to be the victim of illegal phone hacking. The representation of actress has claimed that there are some photos which are real or some of them are FAKE.

The representation told to TMZ that she is Christina Hendricks where she is wearing barely any clothes and gazing into the camera. Meanwhile, the representation claimed that the bare breasts are not of actress and those photos are FAKE. It was confirmed by he representation that the cell phone of Christina Hendricks was really HACKED.

Boras “caved” on three-year request for Damon?

if  looks like Brian Cashman’s patient free agent approach could provide dividends this winter.

From Mark Feinsand of the Daily News:

Damon has been looking for a three-year deal in the $39 million range, and even though sources say that Scott Boras caved on the third year, the Yankees weren’t willing to give Damon the same $13 million salary he earned in each of the last four years.

If Boras “caved” on his three-year demand, soon he could also “cave” on his request for $13 million per year. At this point, it is only a matter of time until Damon’s price drops to a more reasonable level. Though the Yankees signed Nick Johnson, don’t be surprised if they continue to monitor the Damon market — a  market 

which includes. he Giants, Mariners, Braves and Nationals — from a distance, only to swoop in at the eleventh hour and resign Damon to the cost-efficient deal he attempted to avert earlier. Everyone seems to have ruled out such a return, but, given the Yankees’ current left field alternatives, it does not appear to be an implausible idea.

Profil Hyun Bin

Hyun Bin Lahir di Seoul, Korea Selatan 25 September 1982, Hyun Bin merupakan sosok yang kalem. Kiprahnya di layar televisi dimulai ketika ia bergabung dengan serial 'Bodyguard' 8 tahun silam.

   Dalam serial tersebut Hyun Bin hanya melakoni sebuah peran kecil. Namun pria yang saat ini sedang menjalani wajib militer itu mengaku 'Bodyguard' adalah serial yang paling tidak bisa dilupakannya.


"Bermain dalam 'Bodyguard' merupakan hal yang sangat berharga. Aku sangat menikmatinya dan menjadi dekat dengan sosok seorang bodyguard. Itu membantuku dalam peran di serial 'Ireland'," papar Hyun Bin dilansir Soompi. 'Ireland' (2004) adalah serial ketiga Hyun Bin di mana ia berperan sebagai seorang bodyguard.


Terlahir dengan nama yang dianggap kuno Kim Tae Pyung, Hyun Bin ternyata tetap bangga dengan nama pemberian orang tuanya itu. Meski demikian, ia tetap menggunakan nama panggung Hyun Bin yang berarti bersinar dengan terang, menunjukkan ambisinya yang kuat.


Hyun Bin dikenal sebagai sosok yang pemalu. Ia jarang mau berbicara dengan orang yang baru dikenalnya. Siapa yang tahu, pada awal karier Hyun Bin rela membalas semua email yang diterimanya dari fans. Meski lama-kelamaan kotak suratnya penuh dan tidak bisa lagi menerima email baru.


"Aku sangat senang menulis email. Aku kadang mengobrol dengan teman-temanku lewat email. Awalnya aku juga membalas semua email fans, namun sekarang email yang kuterima bisa ribuan setiap harinya. Aku minta maaf karena kalian tidak bisa lagi berbalas email denganku," paparnya.




Bagaimana tidak, karier Hyun Bin menanjak dahsyat ketika ia mulai membintangi serial 'The World That They Live In' bersama ikon drama Korea Song Hye Gyo. Kemudian dilanjutkan dengan 'Late Autumn' (2010).


Puncaknya adalah serial drama 'Secret Garden' yang dibintanginya bersama Ha Ji Won. Selain berakting, ia juga menyumbang suara dengan menyanyikan soundtrack drama tersebut yang bertitel 'That Man'.


Bagaimana awal Hyun Bin berminat pada dunia akting? Berikut artikel Main Stage Hyun Bin berikutnya di detikHot!


Hyun Bin, Antara Kisah Cinta dan Dedikasi sebagai Aktor


Sebagai aktor papan atas Korea, kehidupan pribadi Hyun Bin pun tak lepas dari sorotan publik. Ia dikenal mudah cinta lokasi. Dua dari aktris yang dekat dengannya pernah syuting bersama.


Saat syuting film 'Late Autumn' (2010) Hyun Bin digosipkan memiliki hubungan spesial bersama lawan mainnya, aktris asal China Tang Wei. Rumor itu perlahan hilang namun kemudian menguat kembali. Sebabnya Tang Wei mengunjungi Korea saat Hyun Bin harus pergi untuk wajib militer pada Maret 2011 lalu.


Meski demikian, tidak ada bukti-bukti kuat mengenai hubungan spesial mereka. Berbeda dengan hubungannya dengan ikon drama Korea Song Hye Gyo. Kedua agensi menyatakan memang benar keduanya berpacaran sejak Juni 2009.


Hyun Bin dan Hye Gyo pertama kali bertemu dalam serial 'The World That They Live In' (2008). Mereka dikabarkan selalu berkomunikasi satu sama lain sampai akhirnya memutuskan untuk berpacaran.




Namun berbeda dengan kariernya yang berjalan lancar, kisah cinta Hyun Bin tidak semulus itu. Bulan Maret 2011, beberapa saat sebelum kepergian Hyun Bin ke militer, agensi mengumumkan perpisahan keduanya.


"Hyun Bin dan Song Hye Gyo memutuskan berpisah jalan awal tahun ini. Bagaimanapun, karena kesibukan drama, film, dan aktivitas di luar negeri mereka tidak bisa memberi perhatian satu sama lain," jelas juru bicara agensi keduanya melalui keterangan pers.


Kesibukan yang sangat padat ditambah harus menjalani kewajiban sebagai tentara Korea selama dua tahun memang membuatnya tak mungkin memiliki kekasih. Namun dedikasi pada pekerjaannya membuat ia tampak menikmati hari-harinya sebagai bagian dari militer Korea.


Hyun Bin merilis buku berisi kumpulan fotonya saat menjalani wajib militer di Angkatan Laut Korea. Buku yang diberi titel 'I'm a Marine' itu berisi tentang kehidupannya sejak awal mengikuti wajib militer.


"Aku ingin mencari diriku yang lain saat wajib militer. Bukan sebagai Hyun Bin yang populer atau Kim Tae Pyung. Aku ingin mencari bagian diriku yang belum kuketahui," ujar Hyun Bin dalam bukunya.


Selain menulis buku, Hyun Bin juga akan menjadi MC sebuah konser band angkatan laut Korea (Marine Corps Band Concert). Marine Corps Band Concert adalah acara tahunan untuk umum yang diselenggarakan oleh angkatan laut Korea. Acara ini disebut sebagai cara untuk mendekatkan diri pada masyarakat melalui musik.


Dalam misi yang sama pula ia dikabarkan akan datang ke Indonesia 4 Oktober mendatang dalam rangka kerja sama antara militer Korea dan Indonesia. Apakah Hyun Bin akan sempat menyapa penggemarnya di Indonesia dalam sebuah konser? Kita tunggu saja!

Tony Bennett, 85 years of Achieving First No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Albums

At 85 years and two months, the iconic Tony Bennett becomes the oldest living artist ever to grace the Billboard Hot 100, as "Body and Soul," with the late Amy Wine house, bows at No. 87.

"Body," which previews Bennett's "Duets II," due to storm next week's Billboard 200, sold 25,000 downloads in its first week, according to Nielsen Sound Scan. (The song marks the third Hot 100 appearance for Wine house, who died July 23 at age 27. She reached No. 9 with "Rehab" in 2007 and No. 77 with "You Know I'm No Good" in 2008).

Here's your first look at what could've been. The video for "Body and Soul," Tony Bennett's duet with Amy Winehouse, was released Wednesday, on what would have been the young singer's 28th birthday. The track, Winehouse's final recording before her death in July, features the unlikely pair in a tender and often playful mood in the studio.

Winehouse's healthy appearance and ebullient mood in the clip is only matched by her stunning grasp of jazz phrasing throughout the 1930s track, written by Edward Heyman, Robert Sour and Frank Eyton and Johnny Green, and made famous by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday and Frank Sinatra, among others.

- Tony Bennett to Billboard: 'I Was Convinced I Could Help Amy’

Last month, Bennett shared with Billboard.com his experience with Wine house and how he was able to calm her nerves with a supreme compliment.

"I think [the video for the track] will surprise everybody as to how well we ended up getting along,"  said Bennett, who recorded with Wine house at EMI's Abbey Road studios in London. "She was a little apprehensive about how to go about [the song], and I said to her, 'I may be wrong, but it sounds like you're influenced by Dinah Washington,' and that just blew her mind. She just said, 'Oh my God, you mean you can actually hear that? 

She's my idol!' And that relaxed her, and that's the record we ended up making."

Wine house died of still-undetermined causes July 23 at 27. Her family announced the launch of the Amy Wine house Foundation on Wednesday as well. The charity will derive much of its income from the release of "Body And Soul."

Bennett told Billboard that "Duets II," due out Sept. 20, will be "the last" of its kind. The first "Duets" debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and sold more than three million copies worldwide.
