Jodie Foster gave an impassioned, rambling speech at the Golden Globes Sunday night after her receiving her Cecil B. Demille award for lifetime achievement. Whether it was a coming-out speech or she was hinting at retirement from Hollywood was hard to tell, but Twitter lit up with speculation that she had just announced the end of her career.

The actress fueled retirement rumors when she bemoaned the lack of privacy in Hollywood today.

"Privacy — maybe someday in the future, people will look back and remember how beautiful it once was," Foster said. "I have given everything out there, from the time I was three years old. That is reality enough."

"I am not Honey Boo Boo Child," she added.

Minutes later, Foster's Wikipedia page was updated to reflect her recent retirement, but when the LA Times' Amy Kaufman asked the actress about it, she laughed it off.

Wow, it seems like just yesterday (or 2012) that Brazilian virgin Catarina Migliorini was selling her ne'er touched lady plum to the highest bidder who apparently paid $750K+ to go where no man has gone before.

It all seems kind of nonsensical, that is until you see Catarina and her teddy bear in Playboy Brazil, where the supposedly no longer pure young hottie does all sorts of preening, prancing, and downright romancing her stuffed buddy in a series of sights we can only describe as unforgettable. Just epic, downright epic. Enjoy.

A 23-year-old blonde from Brooklyn, N.Y., won the Miss America crown Saturday night after deftly dealing with a question about armed guards in schools and raising the issue of child sexual abuse in her contestant platform.

En route to her victory in the Las Vegas pageant, Mallory Hagan also tap danced to James Brown's "Get Up Off of That Thing," strutted down the runway in an asymmetrical white gown, and donned a revealing black string bikini.

She defeated Miss South Carolina Ali Rogers, who took second, and Miss Oklahoma Alicia Clifton, who finished third.

Hagan wins a $50,000 college scholarship and a year as an instant celebrity and role model to many girls. Her platform, the issue she will promote during her reign, is fighting child sexual abuse.

She told The Associated Press in an interview after her win that it was her mother who encouraged her to tackle the issue. She said that sexual abuse had "rippled through" her family, touching her mother, aunt, grandmother and cousins. Her mother had trouble at first convincing others of the trauma she had faced.

"That kind of sent her into a whirlwind of anxiety and depression. So as a teen I lost my mom kind of for a couple years," she said. "She was dealing with her own issues, and that's something that now as an adult I understand, but then I certainly did not."

During an interview backstage, Hagan's mother Mandy Moore wiped tears away as she spoke.

"It's very overwhelming," she said. "It's all hitting me so fast."

Hagan said she will work to make child abuse education mandatory in all 50 states.

"It's something I can hopefully change for the next generation," she said.

Hagan left her native Alabama for New York at 18 with less than $1,000 in her pocket. She began competing in pageants when she was 13 and tried for Miss New York in 2010 and 2011 before winning last year.

She studied communications at the Fashion Institute of Technology and has been living in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn.

Hagan, who aspires to be a global cosmetic company executive, ends a long dry spell for New York in the competition. The previous winner from that state was actress Vanessa Williams, who became the first black winner when she took the crown in 1984. Hagan is the first Brooklyn-dweller to claim the title.

She was good enough during preliminary contests for the 92nd annual Miss America pageant to be chosen as one of 16 semifinalists who moved on to compete in the main show. Her bid lasted through swimsuit, evening wear, and talent competitions that saw cuts after each round.

In the final moments of the show, "Good Morning America" weatherman Sam Champion asked her if schools should hire armed guards in the wake of the Newtown, Conn. shooting.

"I don't think the proper was to fight violence is with violence," she replied. "I think the proper way is to educate people on guns and the ways we can use them properly. We can lock them up, we can have gun safety classes, we can have a longer waiting period."

Hagan defeated titleholders from all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Several of her competitors had grabbed headlines this year because of their backstories.

British singer-songwriter Delilah is hotly tipped to make waves at this year's Brit Awards, after the release of her debut album and a support slot with Prince in Australia in 2012.

Ahead of the 2013 nominations announcement on Thursday, we asked for her Brits predictions and found out what's in store for the rising star this year...

Who do you hope will be nominated for a Brit Award?

Emeli Sande will be up for Best Female and maybe Florence Welch as well. Best Album maybe Lianne La Havas, for Best Single I think Calvin Harris will be in there somewhere and One Direction as well.

What do you think of your own chances? What would it mean to you?

I haven't really thought about it. I would like to be nominated so we'll see. I'm not nervous, I'll be disappointed but there is always next year.

How important are the Brits these days? Does being nominated make a real difference?

I think they are the most important British music awards. They are much more commercial and have the power to really elevate an artist. The Mercurys are more critically acclaimed... but I think the Brits really highlight your accomplishments to the public.

Delilah Talks Brit Awards 2013

What's your favourite Brits performance?

I loved Adele's performance of 'Someone Like You'. I really liked Rihanna's performance with all the paint. Every year there are amazing artists.

Do you think we'll see anything controversial this year?

I'm not sure, I think there will always be a great production. I'd like to see an artist do a stripped back performance this year as well as all the lights.

How would you describe your music to those that haven't heard it?

I would say its dark, melodic, soulful pop.

Have you got a favourite music video of all time? And what video would you like to remake?

'Bad' by Michael Jackson would be funny with my friends, if we did a comedic version.

Do you ever crack up when you are doing your emotional and serious videos?

You always have some laughing. I've done some quite risque videos, which have been edited really well so they are never too provocative. But I rolled around for 12 hours with a very good looking man. I met him the day before and I had to pretend he was my lover, it required a lot of acting even though he was gorgeous. It was a lot of fun. I'm proud of a lot of my videos. We kept in touch for a bit, we're good friends he's an amazing dancer, he does Stomp.

You supported Prince on his tour - what advice, if any, has he given you about the music industry?

He didn't give me any advice. We just hang out and became good friends. There was no "this is how you do it" he was just a fan. He was really normal, obviously he has his eccentricities but he was really hospitable and kind.

What do you hope to achieve in 2013?

My new album is released this year, lots of singles and some more great videos. I want to do some really challenging videos and a top five or three, or even number one, would be amazing. Just keep pushing to be bigger and better I think.

The music is definitely still very me, it's dark which is my real signature but I've grown a lot in the last four years and most of my old songs were written between 14 and 17 so since then a lot has changed in my life.

Delilah has teamed up with Mastercard to offer one fan the chance to remake of one of her videos. Fans will get to shoot it, sing it and be their favourite artist for the day, as well as meeting their idols at The BRIT Awards on the 20th of February. Competition details can be found here.

"If men can't grope women in clubs, they're more likely to progress onto rape," Kelley Temple, the women's officer for students was once told - and that's just a snapshot of the battle she's facing against misogyny on campuses.

"Universities simply don't take sexism seriously enough," she tells The Huffington Post UK. "The problem is no-one really understands. Sometimes there is an attempt to tackle the symptom of the problem. Very rarely is there an attempt to tackle it from the root.

"Part of it comes from not really understanding the situation." Temple says this is the reason the NUS has commissioned Sussex University to conduct research into misogyny on campus and "lad cultures", which will be published in March. "We need to understand what the problems look like and decide how to tackle them," she continues.

"Women's officers spend a lot of time in their positions essentially battling the symptoms of lad culture and continuously having to tackle the issue of lad's mags objectifying women or sexist adverts in student unions. They spend so much time trying to tackle them but the same problems keep coming up.

"It's very difficult to make people understand the harm that this culture is creating."

One in seven female students have experienced a serious physical or sexual assault during their time at university, according to the NUS' Hidden Marks report, which was published in 2012. Kelley says there are problems embedded in a misogynistic culture which are simply laughed off as "banter", meaning sexual assault on women is not treated seriously enough.

"In the past, sexism was in a very overt way, quite acceptable and normalised. Because of the success of a lot of feminists, it's become a lot acceptable to become openly sexist. But it hasn't disappeared, it hasn't gone away, it just manifests itself so it becomes a lot more covert and it exists under different guises and forms.

"One of those forms is "banter". What that is, when you try and apply humour you can say 'Oh but it's just ironic, I don't really mean this'."

Kelley uses the infamous quote from self-proclaimed "lad magazine" Uni Lad, which joked:

Rhythm guitar player John Wilkinson, who performed with Elvis Presley more than a thousand times, has died at his home in southwest Missouri. He was 67.

Wilkinson passed away Friday at his home in Springfield after a fight with cancer, according to a family spokesman and the Gorman-Scharpf Funeral Home. Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley offered their "deepest sympathy" to his family, saying in a statement that "John and the beautiful music he made with Elvis will live forever in our hearts."

Wilkinson first met Elvis Presley when he was 10 years old after sneaking into his dressing room before a show at the Shrine Mosque in Springfield. He amused Presley when he told him, "You can't play guitar worth a damn."

Family friend and spokesman Gary Ellison said a Springfield history museum recalled the pair's meeting in an exhibit that ran until about three weeks ago.

"John loved to tell that story," Ellison, a fellow musician, said Friday.

After the chance meeting, Wilkinson developed a name for himself as a singer and guitarist, performing with such groups as The New Christy Minstrels.

He was 23 when Presley saw him perform on a television show in Los Angeles in 1968, and asked him to join the TCB Band – not knowing he was the youngster who insulted his playing a decade earlier, Ellison recalled.

Wilkinson went on to play 1,200 shows as Presley's rhythm guitar player until the legendary singer's death in 1977.

"John considered Elvis more as a friend than as a boss," Ellison said.

Even after suffering a stroke in 1989 that left him unable to play the guitar, Wilkinson continued singing with fellow musicians, including the old TCB Band (the acronym stood for Taking Care of Business), and also made a living in retail and airline services management.

"He was honestly one of the best acoustic guitar players I'd ever heard," Ellison recalled, adding that Wilkinson kept in touch with many of the performers from the folk music era in the late 1960s and early `70s.

A statement from the family, released through Ellison, said Wilkinson also was proud of the fact that he never turned down a request for an autograph.

"It didn't matter if he was meeting adoring fans, joking with Chuck Berry about keeping his B-string in tune, or if he was talking to a neighbor about her dog, people were people to him," the statement said.

She may have been one of the hottest stars on the red carpet in her stunning Zuhair Murad aquamarine gown at the Emmys 2012, but no one would have guessed that Sofia Vergara experienced a disastrous wardrobe malfunction just before stepping onto the red carpet.

The 40-year-old sexy Modern Family actress suffered a terrible fashion faux pas just 20 minutes before hitting the bash where her hit TV show triumphed, sharing snaps of her mishap on Twitter of a broken back zip.

Renowned for her famous hour-glass figure and killer curves, Sofia's derriere proved too voluptuous for its own good as the high end designer dress failed to contain it.

The actress tweeted a snap of the hilarious wardrobe malfunction with the caption: ''Yes!!!! This happend 20 min before we won!!!! Jajajajja. I luv my life!!!!''

Sofia, in high spirits, later thanked her wardrobe team for helping her through the traumatising slip up before she headed onto the stage to pick up the gong for Outstanding Comedy for her show Modern Family, for the third consecutive year.

She wrote: ''20 min Modern Family won!! Dress malfuncion !!! Thank you emergency team!!''

But even if Sofia had collected her award with the Tom Kitten style rip in her dress, she would have still been the sexiest red carpet goer at the bash in the feminine number that did wonders for her figure.

Sofia Vergara's famous curves proved too much for her designer gown last night - after her dress split open, right over her derriere.

The Modern Family star suffered a wardrobe malfunction just 20 minutes before her hit TV show won a prestigious gong at the Emmy Awards.

The 40-year-old actress shared pictures of her fashion mishap on her Twitter page, showing the busted back zip of her Zuhair Murad teal cut-out gown.

Between her many nominations and choices of glamorous dresses, awards season is an exciting time time for "Modern Family" actress Sofia Vergara.

But Vergara, who has now scored three Golden Globe and three Emmy nods for her portrayal of Colombian-born bombshell Gloria on "Modern Family," doesn't have the best track record when it comes to keeping her curve-hugging gowns intact.

Two days before the 2013 Golden Globes, Vergara spoke with HuffPost TV via phone to discuss what she would do to prevent another slip.

"I always try, but some things happen that you cannot control," she said. "You know, it's a lot of a drama. You get in and out of cars and run because you're late backstage, and you have to try to go to the bathroom with those dresses. It's hard! They get a lot of wear and tear. It's a big possibility that things happen."

Just moments before "Modern Family" nabbed the award for Best Comedy at the 2012 Emmys, Vergara's teal Zuhair Murad split down the rear.

Uh-oh! This can't be good for Kim Kardashian's mental health as the mommy-to-be is busy house-hunting and shopping for shoes with beau Kanye West.

After facing trademark infringement allegations last year for their Khroma Beauty line, the Kardashian sisters have been hit with hefty lawsuit. Celebrity makeup artist Lee Tillett is seeking $10 million in damages from the fashionable trio and Boldface Licensing + Branding, the company that owns Khroma Beauty's license, for allegedly swiping the name of her cosmetics line and adding an "h."

The Orlando Sentinel reports that Tillett, who launched Kroma Makeup in 2004, filed the suit this Wednesday in a Los Angeles federal court. She had previously filed a cease and desist letter back in June to Boldface Licensing + Branding, taking action one step further than Chroma Makeup.

"I developed the Kroma line myself, built my business through my own hard work, and took the legal steps necessary to protect it," Tillett said in a press statement. "And yet I have now been forced into legal battle with the Kardashians simply because they have decided to take something that doesn't belong to them."

While Boldface had told The Huffington Post last October that they too had gone through the necessary legal steps to secure their name, Tillett is preparing to protect her brand's name and money at all costs.

If you've read the recent New York Times Magazine profile of Lindsay Lohan, you may have wondered how the actress feels about the piece. Well, wonder no more, because, according to sources, she's fine with it.

Despite what many would say is a brutally honest portrait of Lohan's troubled career, sources tell TMZ that the "Mean Girls" actress acknowledges that the details in the story are true. Those close to Lohan say she admits to having been late to the set of "The Canyons," nervous to get undressed and argumentative with producers. The one thing sources say she adamantly rejects, however, is the portion in which she reportedly drinks and drives.

Lohan says most of what the story describes is standard practice in Hollywood, but she insists the drinking-and-driving portion is malarkey. Lohan claims she did not drink on set and then drive a car afterward, one of the article's several instances of Lohan wreaking havoc while shooting the movie. TMZ reports that friends of Lohan said the actress feels she is more responsible than that.

Lohan reportedly is not mad about the story, which chronicles the filming of the salacious Bret Easton Ellis-penned movie as it revolves around Lohan's notorious troubles. She says she's already been approached by "Canyons" director Paul Schrader to star in another of his movies.
