    Farrah Abraham's Porn Video Payday Was About $10,000, Not $1 Million

    At least Farrah Abraham made major bank off her porn video with James Deen, right?

    Not quite, claim some in the adult industry.

    While the 22-year-old former "Teen Mom" star claims to have sold what would become "Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom" to Vivid Entertainment for $1.5 million, a source close to the situation told FOX411, Abraham actually sold the tape for about $10,000.

    Meanwhile, professional sex tape broker Kevin Blatt told the website that former "Pippi Longstocking" star Tami Erin recently received the same offer from Vivid after she shot a sex tape of her own.

    “Tami Erin was offered $10,000 up-front which is standard for Vivid,” Blatt told FOX411. “It is what they offer every celebrity, not a million dollars.”

    Other adult industry insiders confirmed Blatt's claims, telling FOX411 that the former "Teen Mom" star "got $10,000 up-front and 30 percent of sales, minus the cost of production."

    It wouldn't be the first time Abraham has bent the truth, since the whole porn video was meant to be marketed as a "leaked" sex tape in the first place. Of course, that didn't work out when her co-star Deen refused to go along with the plan, and told everyone that he had been paid to film the X-rated video with Abraham.

    Though Abraham may not have been paid much for the film up-front, that doesn't mean she hasn't profited overall. In July, TMZ reported that Abraham raked in close to $120,000 in royalties in just two months. The former reality star's porn video was indeed wildly successful and received more than 2 million visitors in just the first 12 hours after it was released. She is also poised to bring in the bucks from her new line of sex toys made by Topco Sales, which will be available starting in January 2014.

    Jennifer Aniston Pregnant? Star Reignites Rumours As She Clutches Her Swollen Stomach At 'We're The Millers' Premiere

    When a magazine published the millionth story claiming Jennifer Aniston is pregnant earlier this week, we admit we rolled our eyes. However, our suspicions were raised somewhat when she made an appearance on the red carpet clutching her tummy on Thursday night.

    The former 'Friends' star - who has been at the centre of pregnancy rumours for longer than we can remember - was attending the world premiere of her new film 'We're The Millers' in New York, with her tight dress appearing to show a swollen stomach.

    Now, we don't know if Jen just had a particularly carb-laden lunch, or whether she really is with child, but InTouch magazine recently claimed she has begun IVF treatment with fiancé Justin Theroux.

    A source on the set of film 'Squirrels and Nuts', which she is currently shooting, told the mag: "She definitely seemed to have gained some weight.

    "She knows the clock is ticking - she's well aware of it. She's also done her homework. She's explored all methods for having a baby and knows what her options are with IVF. She's educated herself," they added.

    Indeed, the figure Jen showed off on the red carpet on Thursday is markedly different to how she appears in 'We're The Millers', where the very-trim star plays a stripper.

    However, given the number of false reports over the years (as you can see in our gallery below), we're not believing anything until we hear the happy news from the horse's mouth.

    Loretta Lynn's eldest daughter dies at 64

    Country legend Loretta Lynn is mourning the loss of her eldest daughter, Betty Sue Lynn, who died on Monday from complications of emphysema, reports the Associated Press. She was 64.

    A statement from the family released to the press revealed the details, indicating Betty Sue died in Waverly, Tenn, near her mother's ranch in Hurricane Mills.

    Betty Sue is the second of Loretta's children to precede her in death; in 1984 her son Jack Benny Lynn, then 34, drowned on the family's property reported People magazine at the time. Betty and Jack's father, Oliver Vanetta Lynn, died in 1996.

    "The Lynn Family appreciates all your prayers, love, and support of our family. Betty was Loretta's oldest daughter. Betty leaves two daughters Lynn Markworth and Audrey Dyer," a statement on Loretta's website indicated.

    Loretta Lynn's life was portrayed her autobiography, "Coal Miner's Daughter," which was the title of one of her biggest hits. It was made into a movie in 1976.

    Kate Middleton Baby Born Duchess Of Cambridge Gives Birth!

    Kate Middleton's baby is finally here! Buckingham Palace confirms that the Duchess of Cambridge has given birth to a baby boy, the first child for her and Prince William.

    Kate was admitted to St Mary's Hospital on the morning of July 22. She and Prince William arrived via car through a secret side entrance.

    The birth comes after an anxious waiting period. Beginning in early July, press and fans camped outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital waiting for the duchess to arrive on her speculative due date... only to be left waiting for days more.

    The duchess' pregnancy was announced in December 2012, following months of royal baby rumors perpetuated by the tabloids. The day of the announcement, Kate was admitted to the hospital for treatment for hyperemesis gravidarum. The illness, an acute form of morning sickness, was thought to be serious enough to affect her entire pregnancy, preventing her from making many public appearances.

    But over the course of her second and third trimesters, Kate was as active as ever. Between engagements at schools, museums and Buckingham Palace garden parties, Kate also made time to shop, go to Starbucks and walk her puppy in Hyde Park.

    Now she'll have to bring a stroller along! Stay tuned for more updates on the royal baby, and click over to our royal pregnancy page for more goodies.

    My Girl Star Anna Chlumsky Welcomes Daughter!

    "My Girl's" Anna Chlumsky and husband Shaun So welcomed their daughter, Penelope Joan So, last Thursday in New York City.

    The actress, who currently stars on "Veep," opens up to People about her beautiful bundle of joy. "She's a really good mix between my husband and me," she explains.

    Adding, "We think she has my mouth, but it's hard to tell. Even the color of her eyes, they are different in different light. But she has a really full set of hair."

    The new mom can add another achievement to her list -- this morning the actress won her first Emmy nomination for her role on TV's "Veep"!

    "I’m still in shock. When I got the call I wasn’t sleeping because I was breastfeeding my daughter," she says.

    "It was neat because it was me and my husband and my daughter all in the room getting the news at the same time. When [my manager] told me, it was that nervous, happy, appreciative laughter. I just laughed a lot! It feels really great to have your work noticed," Anna confesses to People.

    With the birth of her daughter and her first Emmy nod, Chlumsky couldn't be happier. "I’m really, really happy. I’m just smiley,” she says. “I have this new bundle of love that’s now in my life. She has made my life even better."

    Kristen Stewart Flashes Bra Through See-Through Shirt

    Kristen Stewart is a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl (like an everyday jeans and T-shirt kind of girl).

    So although it wasn't surprising to see the 23-year-old in dark skinny jeans, a white tee and Converse sneakers, it was surprising to see her black bra peeking through that top on a day out in Glendale, Calif., on July 9. Escorted by a friend, KStew grabbed a cool drink before heading back to a car.

    Coincidentally, that vehicle was NOT Stewart's dirty pickup truck, which was left branded with a cruel message the day before. Robert Pattinson's former love was taunted, most likely by a fan or paparazzo, after she returned to her truck to find the words "I Love Rob" on the hood. Rough.

    'Game Of Thrones' Sex Scenes And Nudity The Complete Third Season NSFW Collection

    The third season of "Game of Thrones" has come to a close, which means it's time for us to continue our highly scientific study of sex and nudity in the acclaimed HBO series.

    While "Game of Thrones" offers up a multitude of feminist role models, it has often been criticized for its gratuitous sex scenes. Perhaps this is part of the reason Season 3 reduced the amount of sex and nudity, at least in frequency. Where the first and second seasons featured sex and/or nudity in 10 out of 10 and 8 out of 10 episodes, respectively, the third season got sexually explicit in only 5 out of 10. However, when it came to the duration of scenes with sex and nudity, the third season has both the first and second beat with a total of roughly 8 minutes and 30 seconds per scene. By comparison, the first season had 8 minutes and 10 seconds and the second season had 7 minutes and 40 seconds.

    "Game of Thrones" Season 3 also seemed to have a higher diversity of nudity, with a notable influx of male backsides and even a few flashes of male full–frontal. Of course, it wouldn’t be "Game of Thrones" without also including a few trips to Lord Baelish’s bordello, but on the whole, the sex this season felt more organic to the story than in the past -- alternately steamy (Jon Snow FINALLY losing his v-card) and terrifying (Theon's last romp before being mutilated into an "SNL" parody), but always captivating.

    Below ,The Huffington Post has included a compilation of all the nudity and sex scenes from "Game of Thrones" Season 3, for your own research purposes. Please feel free to weigh in with your own theories in the comments below!

    Chief Keef Threatens to Assault Katy Perry After She Disses His Song

    Memo to everyone: Don't mess with Chief Keef because he'll majorly overreact and get down right scary.

    The 17-year-old rapper is no stranger to criticism, but it seems he just couldn't deal with Katy Perry's distaste for one of his songs.

    On Wednesday, the 28-year-old pop star tweeted, "Just heard a new song on the radio called ‘I hate being sober’ I now have serious doubt for the world."

    Days after Perry dissed the song, the rapper responded with some choice words:

    After Keef threatened to assault the pop star, he then threatened to take things to the studio and record a new track aimed at Perry:

    With all those lovely messages Keef had for the singer, Perry realized she clearly didn't want to further antagonize a man who raps about threatening to murder a woman who refuses to perform oral sex on him, and was accused of hiring a hit on a fellow rapper. As such, it's not surprising that Perry quickly apologized for her comments about his song "Hate Being Sober."


    It seems like Perry's apology did the trick, because Keef even apologized for his threats as well:

    Kim Kardashian Bares Baby Bump In Lingerie, Asks 'How The F**k Did I Get Like This' In Season 8 Trailer

    It's hard not to feel a little sympathy for Kim Kardashian since she hasn't had the easier time during her pregnancy.

    The 32-year-old reality star has gracefully dealt with the tabloids calling her fat as she's gained weight the way pregnant women tend to do. Her sister Khloe recently took a stand against Kim's body critics, but it seems as though the reality star herself has had a difficult time dealing with her pregnancy curves.

    In one scene from the trailer for season 8 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," Kim asks "how the f**k did I get like this," while discussing her growing belly with her family, and in another she bares her bump while clad in lingerie.

    Kim's weight has been under a microscope since she first announced her pregnancy back in December. The reality star was often seen hitting the gym early on, and rumors quickly spread that she was dreading gaining weight, though she told Cosmopolitan that she more than expected to "definitely be up there," in the weight department by the time she gives birth.

    At an event in New York in April, Kardashian told Us Weekly that she was slowly learning to accept her new figure:

    "It was really hard for me to accept that the body changes, and I was having a different kind of pregnancy than Kourtney did," she told the magazine. "She made it look really easy, but ever since the baby started to kick I've really embraced it. Now I love being pregnant!"


    Eva Longoria graduates from California State University

    The Desperate Housewives actress received her Master's degree in Chicano Studies and took to Twitter to share her excitement ahead of the ceremony.

    She tweeted: "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my Master's degree in Chicano Studies! You're never too old or too busy to continue your education! (sic)

    Longoria's former 'Desperate Housewives' co-star Marica Cross, tweeted her congratulations, writing "Huge congratulations on your graduation today!!!! From Canne to Cap and Gown. You are really something. Xoxo m (sic)."

    Longoria, 38, recently revealed she was frantically working on her thesis in order to graduate on time.

    She said: "I'm writing my thesis now. Hopefully, I'll finish in time!"

    Speaking about her studies, her representative said: "Eva enrolled at Northridge three years ago and is receiving her Master's degree in Chicano Studies with her thesis on 'Success STEMS From Diversity: The Value of Latinas in STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics] Careers.'"

    Who Won the ‘Spring Breakers’ Madrid Premiere, For Real

    Turns out the other day it was just a photocall for the Spring Breakers premiere in Madrid but last night was the real premiere. So how should points be awarded? Since I just make up the rules to this imaginary competition which instills

    so much hatred in Ethan Hawke, I’m just giving Vanessa Hudgens half a point. So now it’s .5 for Vanessa Hudgens, 1 for Selena Gomez and 2 for Ashley Benson because she won this time. I think I need to make a prize pack for the winner at the end of this competition. Maybe a bag full of condoms and Windex. That seems pretty standard nowadays.

    Octomom Nadya Suleman checks into rehab for stress-related drug addiction

    Octomom Nadya Suleman has checked herself into a 28-day rehab program for an addiction to the anxiety drug Xanax, reports TMZ.

    Suleman, 37, will undergo treatment at the Chapman House Drug Rehabilitation Center in Southern California. Her three nannies and two friends will watch over her 14 young children during that time.

    "Nadya wanted to get off the Xanax she was prescribed by her doctor and learn to deal with her stress, exhaustion and anxiety with professional help with a team of doctors," says her rep. "Nadya wanted to deal with her issues and make sure she is the best mother she can be.”

    Suleman, a single mom, previously revealed she regrets having so many children and has considered suicide.

    "Some days I have thought about killing myself," said Octomom. "I cannot cope. Obviously I love them, but I absolutely wish I had not had them."

    Nadya, who has 14 children under age 10 (including her two-year-old octuplets), admits she made a mistake undergoing in-vitro fertilization and feels desperate many days.

    "The only way I can cope is to lock myself in the bathroom and cry," said the unemployed Suleman. "Sometimes I sit there for hours and even eat my lunch sitting on the toilet floor. Anything to get peace and quiet."

    Nadya, who has received countless death threats over the years, has struggled with financial problems and public hatred and says she deserves more credit than she's given.

    “I’ve trained them so well, they can brush their own teeth, dress themselves and scrub each other’s backs – they’re so independent,” she said. “It’s not chaotic. They’re very quiet and obedient and they’re well-behaved and smart. The kids have structure and discipline and only eat healthily – they don’t know what candy is! I’ve done a really great job with them – I don’t get any credit.”

    In fact, Octomom insists her children could not have a better mom. "They could never have a better home," she said. "A better home, physically, yes; we’re going to be moving. But they could never have a better mother."

    What A Naked Body Really Looks Like Nadav Kander


    In an age when airbrushing the naked body has become a photography standard, the works of Nadav Kander are absolutely refreshing. The Israel-born, UK-based artist captures a wildly diverse survey of form and flesh, exquisitely displayed in a new exhibit titled "Bodies, 6 Women, 1 Man" at London's Flowers Gallery.

    Kander's exhibit harkens back to Renaissance masterpieces, featuring classically styled female and male nudes baring and contorting their bodies. Covered in white marble dust, the models appear like pristine sculptures or a figure from an ethereal period painting.

    Yet as photographs, the works are innately modern, a characteristic not lost in the subjects' tendency to actively hide their faces from the camera. Unlike the pensive gaze that can be seen in works by Raphael or Bellini, the eyes of Kander's alabaster nudes almost always avert the lens, hiding behind outstretched arms or backwards facing bodies. Present yet private, archaic yet contemporary, familiar yet newly distinct; the efficacious project puts forth a new definition of the nude that alerts us to paradox after paradox.

    “I don’t want to make art that’s simple, ‘correct for the times,’ or merely to fit a gap in the market," Kander explained in a recent interview with TIME magazine. "I make things that nourish me.”

    The unabashed artist will be showing his work until February 9 at Flowers Gallery in London. Scroll down for a preview of his work and let us know what you think of his "Bodies" in the comments section.

    Britney Spears Reportedly Ready To Sign $15 Million 'X Factor' Deal

    Britney Spears is close to finalizing a $15 million deal to serve as the new superstar judge on Simon Cowell's talent show The X Factor, according to online reports.

    The "Toxic" hitmaker has been rumored to be in talks to take a seat alongside Cowell and producer Antonio "L.A." Reid on the panel for weeks and now insiders claim the big announcement is imminent.

    Spears is said to be ready to sign on the dotted line after being offered a $15 million payday - after she reportedly turned down $10 million.

    A source tells E! Online, "Both camps were back and forth on the money but now they have finally come to agreement on the fee.

    "That was the big sticking point and now, thankfully, it's been sorted. All they need to do now is work out the smaller points. The fact the money is now set means that there is nothing stopping this from becoming a reality."

    Fans had feared the pop star would be too fragile to handle the pressure of the publicity surrounding the show - but reports suggest her fiance, Jason Trawick, will be by her side as a producer.

    A source adds, "Jason is expected to be there every day Britney is on set. He is her rock and will help guide her through the process. He is the person she trusts the most."

    Spears will sit on the panel alongside Cowell and Antonio 'L.A.' Reid, as well as another female judge.

    The two newcomers will replace Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger as judges.

    Olivia Munn's Funny Letter To Fans About Those Fake Nude Photos

    Olivia Munn has had quite the week, and she was MIA at the SXSW screening of her upcoming movie, "The Babymakers." But she was legitimately busy working on her new HBO series, Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom," -- not avoiding facing the music about her recent Internet scandal as some might think. Proof: She had the movie's director, Jay Chandrasekhar, read a letter out loud in her absence, while showing her own photo response to those fake hacked cell phone pictures that surfaced earlier this week. Her letter to fans adorably humble bragged about all the good deeds she was doing while not sending lewd texts, ending with a note about the pictures obvious fake nature because of certain absent physical traits. Here's her letter to fans: March 9, 2012 Dear Everyone at "The Babymakers" SXSW screening: I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you all. I'm currently in Sierra Leone helping build wells for the thirsty. I thought I'd have time to stop through Austin on my way here, but I was detoured when I saw two beached seals on the Gulf near South Padre and used all of my strength, sweat and tears to pull them back into the water and save their lives. (NOTE to JAY- Hold for applause and gasps. About 2 solid minutes...) So, I come to you only in this letter, by way of my director of "The Babymakers" Jay Chandra-shay... shay- Jay Chandra-something. It’s hard for me to sit here with these small, dysentery-ridden children and know that I cannot be there, with all of you wonderful friends and supporters, for my SXSW Hollywood movie premiere. I must end this letter short, as I'm on my way to Seoul, Korea to speak with the starving children who have been denied food by their country and educate them on a motto that I have personally lived by and think will give them some hope: Thinner is Better. I pray this letter finds you well and God keeps you safe.

    Mean Simon ought to be like his mum... she was a lovely judge

    Julie Cowell, 86, pulled the same facial expressions as the Britain's Got Talent and X Factor star when she watched wannabes in a contest at the weekend.

    But instead of reducing them to tears, they were all smiles after she told them what she thought of their acts. Little Saffron Barker, winner of the Under-12s section, said: "It was really fun to have Julie Cowell judging us.

    "I'm glad she wasn't like Simon Cowell - because sometimes he's a bit mean to the people singing.

    "I think maybe he should be a bit more like her."

    Over-12s winner Amy Moore, 17, added: "I think I'd have been more nervous singing in front of Simon - he is maybe a bit more harsh.

    Julie, who was judging Rottingdean's Got Talent and lives in the East Sussex village, tends to agree. She wouldn't sit on a panel with her 51-year-old son because they'd argue too much.
