Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are enjoying a third straight week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, but fellow duo Daft Punk are crashing the party.

Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt believes he suffers from a form of prosopagnosia due to his embarrassing inability to remember faces.

Pitt says others believe he's conceited due to the face he cannot remember their names nor recall seeing their face, but is convinced it is due being impaired.

In an interview with Esquire magazine, where he also revealed he had almost no friends, Pitt says, "So many people hate me because they think I'm disrespecting them. So I swear to God, I took one year where I just said, This year, I'm just going to cop to it and say to people, 'OK, where did we meet?'

Andrew Garfield Plays Basketball With Kids - In Full 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' Costume (Video)

May 23rd, 2013 1:07pm EDT
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
 

How many kids can say they hit the court with Spidey?

Andrew Garfield paused his busy shooting schedule for the upcoming blockbuster The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to play some basketball with a few lucky New York kids while still in costume.

A pair of amateur videos caught the star (and we're giving an educated guess it's actually Andrew, considering the security and entourage) trying his hand at a pickup game. He actually shows a few nice crossovers, and we bet it's not easy to see with that mask on.

After putting in a layup and missing a few shots, Garfield gives the kids high fives an...

Arnold Schwarzeneger And Maria Shriver Reconciling?

May 22nd, 2013 7:07pm EDT
Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger
Rumors are spreading that Arnold Schwarzeneger and Maria Shriver are getting back together, and for good reason - the couple hasn't officially filed for divorce.

Despite the married couple breaking up in 2011 over the former California governor's marital indiscretions that led to an illegitimate love child, neither Arnold nor Maria has gone to court and asked for a judge to make it official.

There are two theories as to why: For one, TMZ reports the two have already agreed to evenly split their $400 million net worth, so neither of them is in a rush to grab the other's money. The other th...
