New York City was swarming with celebrities who attended the TIME 100 Gala at Lincoln Center on Tuesday. Barbara Walters, Claire Danes and Pad...

HBO's The Newsroom is fantastic. Shows like it are the reason we have TV in the first place. But what exactly makes the show such a phenomenon? At Sunday's Paley Center for Media evening celebrating the series, I spoke with several members of the cast to find out what they think makes it great - and learned a few things about what's coming up in Season 2.

For John Gallagher, Jr., who plays the ever so endearing Jim Harper, he knew the show was something special "When I read the pilot. I'd been an Aaron Sorkin fan for years but I thought when I read the first episode, I thought he'd complet...

What's the first thing you think of when Katy Perry, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Christina Hendricks, Halle Berry or Kate Upton is mentioned?

Right, "boobs."

Thanks to magazines like Maxim, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, GQ and Playboy -- to name just a handful -- celebrity breastesses are constantly shoved in our faces.

Many stars get accused of having fake ones, like Salma Hayek; who swears hers are real and says they're "a present from God."

Others are obviously real (Katy Perry), while some are obviously fake (Mariah Carey).

But in the end it doesn't really matter if they look glorious.

So sit ...

They're insanely gorgeous and have amazing bodies, but that's about all in the case of these 12 actresses; all of whom we believe are only famous for their looks.

Consider stars like Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba. Does anything in either of their filmographies stand out? If so, it's a good bet they were cast in it for their looks alone.

Biel had a promising career thanks to 7th Heaven but in 2000 she posed topless for Gear magazine, thinking it would land her more mature roles. All it really did was get her noticed for how hot she was and cast as the desirable eye-candy types -- like the ...

Sunday night was one of the of the biggest events in Hollywood - the 2013 Golden Globes Awards. Red, white and black were some of the more popular choices on the red carpet, with stars such as Zooey Deschanel, Jennifer Garner, Claire Danes, Marion Cotillard and Jennifer Lawrence opting for crimson gowns.

Hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey wore black and white, and Eva Longoria looked very leggy in a black gown with a slit up the thigh. Salma Hayek also stunned in a strapless black dress that showed off her curvy figure. Rachel Weisz wore black with a sheer polka dot skirt and her best accessor...

It's Fashion Fail Time! That means we take a break from letting you know how good all of your favorite stars look to show the other side of fashion: the fails! Today we have a selection from the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards.

Olivia Munn wore this frumpy, unflattering dress to the awards show - and she was presenting an award, so you would figure she'd try to look dazzling as usual.

We love the lower half of Kristin Kreuk's gown, but the top is just nasty.

Ellen Pompeo wore this gown with a championship belt.

Morena Baccarin wore this overly-long pantsuit and stud...

Awards season has officially commenced! The People's Choice Awards took place in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, and the red carpet was flooded with fashionable stars.

Following Friday's horrific elementary school massacre in Newtown, CT, tons of celebrities have taken to social media to express their disbelief and outrage over the death of 28 people, among them 20 kindergarten students.

Olivia Munn goes for a swim in a rooftop pool overlooking West Hollywood while wearing a black dress for the December issue of Vanity Fair magazine; and although we'd have preferred a bikini, we really don't have a problem with that.

The versatile 32-year-old actress got her start co-hosting G4 TV's Attack of the Show! before moving on to Comedy Central's The Daily Show as a correspondent; and from there her career has begun to take off (despite a failed NBC sitcom - Perfect Couples). She's posed for Maxim magazine and Playboy (in a non-nude shoot) and even written a book ("Suck It, Wonder...

The BAFTA Los Angeles 2012 Britannia Awards presented by BBC America took place on Wednesday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California.

French actress Berenice Marlohe, 33, dazzled in a low-cut gold sequined Oscar de la Renta gown. She stars in the new 007 film, "Skyfall," which hits theaters on Friday, Nov. 9.

She recently told FHM about her character, Severine: "She is mysterious: good, evil, adventurous. I had to give her a lot of substance and charisma, and the sexiness came from that."

Olivia Munn looked equally amazing at the Britannia Awards. She wore a Temperley London gold sequi...

Olivia Munn attended the International Women's Media Foundation Courage in Journalism Awards in Los Angeles on Monday.

The "Newsroom" actress looked sexy in a striped blue, green and black dress with cutouts at the shoulder and an uneven hemline.

It's a tough look to pull off, but Olivia managed to make it work.

Olivia Munn is urging bosses behind an online coupon site to "do the right thing" by removing their deals on circus tickets.

The Magic Mike star, an outspoken campaigner for elephants, has urged her fans to boycott Groupon after discovering the discount site was offering cut-price promotions for circuses which features animals.

In a letter to Groupon directors, sent on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Munn raises her concerns about the treatment of elephants and tigers made to perform in the circus.

She writes, "I was disappointed to learn from PETA that G...

Olivia Munn showed off some serious cleavage at this year's GQ Men of the Year Awards in London Wednesday night, narrowly avoiding a wardrobe malfunction.

The 32-year-old actress, who wore a silver Giorgio Armani dress and Jimmy Choo shoes, presented the Writer of the Year award to Aaron Sorkin for his new HBO drama The Newsroom. Olivia stars on the show alongside Jeff Daniels, Sam Waterston and Dev Patel.

The 2012 award ceremony was held at London's Royal Opera House.

Clint Eastwood made a surprise visit to the Republican National Convention in Tampa Bay, Florida to give a speech - and celebrities have responded to the actor's odd "empty chair" sequence in which he asked questions to an empty chair that represented President Barack Obama.

Eastwood begins talking to a chair around 3:15 in the video

Olivia Munn tweeted, "Clint Eastwood was talking to an empty chair at the RNC … No, that’s not the set up to a joke. It’s not even a joke."

Star Jones wrote posted, "I can’t believe I just watched Clint Eastwood turn into somebody’s DRUNK UNCLE HARRY on th...

This is my viewpoint, from the far end of the couch...and this week I want to discuss a little show called The Newsroom, and all the things I've learned from it. Not only is it one of the best shows you're not watching, it's a series that - love it or hate it - has almost become bigger than the show itself. There's enough to talk about that..well, it unintentionally took over this entire blog. So, in no particular order, here are seven things that I've taken away from The Newsroom.

1. The TV Main Title Sequence Is Not Dead

The television main title sequence seems to be on its way to bei...

In moments of anxiety, Olivia Munn pulls out her eyelashes. The actress has struggled with her transition into the spotlight and admits she deals with her nervous energy in an unusual way.

"I don't bite my nails, but I rip out my eyelashes. It doesn't hurt, but it's really annoying. Every time I run out of the house I have to stop and pick up a whole set of fake eyelashes," she told the New York Daily News.

Her constant worrying has prevented her from starting a family and having children.

"It's not that I'm too busy with my career or anything, but I have this huge fear of something happ...

The fourth episode of The Newsroom takes on a story that captivated the nation, while everyone's love lives get needlessly meddled in, and Don finally stops being a jerk. While the show struggles with its subplots, there's no denying that it knows how to do the news, even if it's news from two years ago.

The Top Story

While The Newsroom has been grounded in real-life personalities and events from the start, "I'll Try To Fix You" is the first episode where it tackles head-on a real news story that we also all know well: the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. While the BP oil s...

The ESPY Awards celebrate the year's best athletes and moments in sports. Last night's winners of the 2012 event included basketball stars LeBron James (Male Athlete of the Year) and Brittney Griner (Female Athlete of the Year) and snowboarder Shaun White (Male Action Sports Athlete).

Other winners were Jonathan Quick (Best NHL player), David Beckham (Best MLS Player), Josh Hamilton (Best MLB Player), and Mario Gutierrez (Best Jockey) - he rode I'll Have Another to victories in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness.

San Francisco Giants pitcher Brian Wilson stole the red carpet by appearing wi...

Actress Olivia Munn kicked her cast mates off the set of Magic Mike before shooting her topless scene in the film so only a select group of crew members could catch a glimpse of her modesty.

The sexy star plays Channing Tatum's love interest in the risqué film about a troupe of male strippers, and in one particular sequence the 32 year old was expected to strip down for the cameras as her character stepped out of the shower.

However, conservative Munn admits she was so self-conscious about baring her boobs; she wouldn't let her hunky co-stars Matt Bomer, Matthew McConaughey and Joe Mang...

In the third episode of HBO's The Newsroom, Will picks a fight with the Tea Party, Charlie gets called to the principal's office, and Aaron Sorkin revisits the second episode of Sports Night. It's messy and more than a little familiar, but it's still an impressive addition to the summer TV landscape.

The Top Story

"The 112th Congress" opens with something that should be very familiar to fans of Sorkin's previous show about a TV show: an on-air apology. Will opens News Night with an editorial comment about how sorry he is for the program's past mistakes and flaws. "I'm a leader in an ind...

The guys (and the gals) came out in full force for the Los Angeles premiere of "Magic Mike" yesterday. Matthew McConaughey looked dapper in a tuxedo with his new wife Camila Alves by his side. She opted for a bright blue sequined shift dress.

Channing Tatum showed up with wife Jenna Dewan wearing a gray suit, while his wife wore a short black dress.

"True Blood" hunk Joe Manganiello looked snazzy in a shiny silver suit, and co-star Alex Pettyfer wore a gray suit with a button-down white shirt and no tie.

The film centers on an upstart male stripper (Pettyfer) who is mentored by a vetera...

The Newsroom is pure Aaron Sorkin. The fingerprints of his creative vision are obvious and numerous throughout HBO's newest original series. And damned if that isn't a sight to behold.

Sorkin has a unique and very specific voice, one that television has missed. This isn't to detract from his successes with Moneyball and The Social Network, or at the beginning of his career with The American President and A Few Good Men. But Sorkin on the small screen is something different. Sports Night, The West Wing and even the lesser-regarded Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip gave us the chance to savor ...

Actress Olivia Munn is mourning the death of her stepmother after she lost her fight against cancer.

The Iron Man 2 star, whose parents split when she was a baby, broke the news to fans on Wednesday.

Taking to her Twitter.com page to pay tribute to her second mum, she writes, "My stepmother just lost her battle with cancer. She was a wonderful person who was loved dearly and who loved fully. Rest in Peace, Donna."

It's been a tough few days for Munn - she tweeted about her fears for her family's safety on Tuesday after they were forced to take shelter from severe storms in her native Okl...

A new trailer for Aaron Sorkin's highly anticipated HBO series 'The Newsroom' has just been released. The series premieres Sunday, June 24th at 10pm.

About 'The Newsroom'

From the mind of Aaron Sorkin, creator of The West Wing and screenwriter of The Social Network and Moneyball, comes 'The Newsroom,' a behind-the-scenes look at the people who make a nightly cable-news program. Focusing on a network anchor (played by Jeff Daniels), his new executive producer (Emily Mortimer), the newsroom staff (John Gallagher, Jr., Alison Pill, Thomas Sadoski, Olivia Munn, Dev Pat...

Olivia Munn has moved on after her split from ice hockey player Brad Richards - she's now dating new Robocop star Joel Kinnaman.

The Iron Man 2 actress went public with her new relationship at the second season premiere of Kinnaman's TV hit The Killing in Los Angeles on Monday.

Munn is said to have begun her romance with Swedish-born Kinnaman, who will play the title role in the upcoming Robocop reboot, after they met last year.

A source tells EOnline.com, "They have been together for about three months. They met last year, but they didn't get together until just before Christmas. He ...

Actor Alec Baldwin has called for a boycott of a leading circus over allegations elephants are ill-treated.

The Hollywood star highlights the animals' plight in a four-minute YouTube.com campaign posted this week by staff at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

The clip shows footage of a trainer for The Greatest Show on Earth allegedly using a bullhook on a baby elephant, and Baldwin has called for swift action to crack down on the scandal.

He says, "Having worked with actors for many years, it's hard to believe that anyone would have to be dragged kicking and screami...
