'Queen of Crime' P.D. James dies at 94

$

0

P.D. James' publisher, Faber and Faber, announced today that Phyllis Dorothy James White, also known as Baroness James of Holland Park, died on Thursday.

James was a prominent and well-loved name within the detective genre. She wrote nearly 20 novels during her career, which spanned more than half a century. Seven of said books were turned into episodes of the public television program, Mystery! Nearly all her novels revolved around Adam Dalgliesh, a poet, member of Scotland Yard and James' perpetual protagonist.

Nearly since his inception, Dalgliesh stood on his own and served as the pillar upon which James was placed. The character development that went into the policeman made him one of the most complex and real characters within the genre and, some would say, in literature altogether.

Most recently, James saw another spike in her popularity as her newest and one of her most famous works was turned into a television movie for the BBC. Death Comes to Pemberley drew in not only all her current fans, but a whole new set of Jane Austen-obsessed women who basked in the glory of returning to the lives of Mr. Darcy and the rest of the characters in Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

Of course, there was much more to James' life than her novels. Born in Oxford on Aug. 3, 1920, James lived a life full of her own adventures long before she began making up her own. Despite always knowing she wanted to be a writer, she spent many years working as a nurse. She spent time serving in the Red Cross and actually gave birth to her first daughter during a bombing blitz in 1942. Even after the war, James worked tirelessly to support her husband and two daughters after her veteran husband returned from war with a mental disability. James didn't publish her first novel until she was in her 40s. But, as we now know, it would soon be followed by a slew of others.

James is survived by her two daughters, Claire and Jane, as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind a pack of devoted readers who span the globe and who will truly miss her words.

Red Band Society gets the plug pulled by Fox — kind of

$

Nothing official has been announced yet, but all signs point to the end of Red Band Society's life. Of the original 13 episodes filmed, only the first 10 may ever see airtime. Red Band's 10th episode is set to air as a fall finale on Dec. 3, but the next three episodes have been cleared from Fox's schedule.

INTERVIEWS: SheKnows talked to Red Band stars

Don't start washing your hands of the show just yet, though. With no official cancellation announcement, it's entirely possible Fox is just looking for a reboot of the show. Red Band does have a bit of a cult following from the fans it does have. There are also rumors that the network has still asked for additional scripts. Let's hope whatever the writers can produce will convince Fox to give it another run at another time.

Although, Red Band Society still needs to find a way to resuscitate its numbers. It started off fairly weak, pulling in 4 million viewers during its debut and only rating at 1.3 in the 18-49 demographic. Its viewership and ratings have shrunk by about 25 percent since the premiere, which just doesn't bode well for the medical drama.

Mandy Moore on her brand new role

What can showrunners and writers do if they want to stand a chance of pulling out of that code blue? For starters, they could cut down on the cheese: the hotshot doctor and parents singing '80s hits to coma kid, Charlie, and Jordi's in-room solo in an attempt to land a recording contract with a visiting pop star's manager. They could also stop reminding us that Mandy Moore used to be a singer. No, guys, that joke about how she has "no idea" how tiring it is to be a teen pop sensation was not funny. It wasn't even worth an empathetic dad joke kind of laugh.

We truly believe that Red Band Society is a good show and could be a success. It just needs to work out a few kinks. Or, maybe we just have a little too much of that unwarranted hope that continues to propel Leo forward, despite the constant setbacks.

According to TMZ, the reality TV star's friends revealed to them that he had been enjoying a night of partying on Wednesday night and had slept over at a friend's house. But on Thursday morning, a friend reportedly found him dead, having choked on his own vomit.

According to the gossip outlet, Knight was in great spirits the night before his untimely death and had revealed to friends that he was in a new relationship with someone who made him very happy. TMZ also reports that "several people who were in contact with Knight while he was partying tell us he had taken 'some pills' but they were not specific."

Knight's death comes less than two weeks after fellow MTV reality star Diem Brown died at the age of 32 on Friday, Nov. 14, following a lengthy battle with cancer.

Days before his death, Knight took to Twitter to pay tribute to Brown on the night before her funeral.

He wrote a touching message, which read, "A funeral for an Angel tomorrow. She'll fly the highest and shine the brightest. And without a doubt she'll be dancing over us. Love Ya DB."

Knight's costars have all been left deeply shocked and saddened by his sudden passing, and among the tributes came one from his ex-girlfriend, Jemmye Carroll, who took to Twitter to pay tribute to the late star.

'Shia LaBeouf' Live is either really weird or awesome — OK, it's both (VIDEO)

#IAMSORRY ran for five days in February at a Los Angeles, California, gallery, and it turns out that not everyone treated the actor with respect during that time. In an email interview with Dazed & Confused magazine, the actor explained just how one woman took advantage of him earlier this year.

"One woman who came with her boyfriend, who was outside the door when this happened, whipped my legs for ten minutes and then stripped my clothing and proceeded to rape me… There were hundreds of people in line when she walked out with dishevelled (sic) hair and smudged lipstick. It was no good, not just for me but her man as well," LaBeouf explained.

LaBeouf added that the news of the incident had "traveled through the line" and that his girlfriend Mia Goth found out about it. However, he could not speak and was unable to explain to her what had happened.

"On top of that my girl was in line to see me, because it was Valentine's Day and I was living in the gallery for the duration of the event — we were separated for five days, no communication. So it really hurt her as well, as I guess the news of it travelled (sic) through the line. When she came in she asked for an explanation, and I couldn't speak, so we both sat with this unexplained trauma silently. It was painful," he recalled.

LaBeouf is obviously going through a tough time right now and admitting what happened to him was undoubtedly not an easy thing to do.

The Fury actor then went on to answer the question, "What is the meaning of life?" He responded, "We are all mostly in a state of mind that is constantly hovering, constantly browsing, checking, updating shit. There is no purpose or sense to it, no commitment. The meaning of life I think is to find your purpose, sensibility and commitment, and help others achieve the same. We all need to heal through interaction."

The producers might be excited about casting the British pop star, but fans are much less impressed with the first official picture of the character in Sam Taylor-Johnson's film adaptation.

The picture, which shows the "How We Do" hit maker's character Mia wearing pear earrings, a hideous floral dress and donning a short brown bob, has already received vicious comments that range from relatively mild to just plain nasty.

Kendra Wilkinson on sex with Hugh Hefner when she was 18 years old (VIDEO)

Wilkinson previously shed light on her bedroom activities with Hefner when fellow contestant British television presenter Melanie Sykes asked her if she and the magazine publisher actually had sex during her time in the Playboy mansion.

The former Girls Next Door star was 18 years old at the time and Hefner was 78, and she revealed that yes, they did have sex.

"He was like, 'Do you want to come upstairs?'" Wilkinson recalled of the bedroom activity she and Hefner spent together. "And I was 'Sure, let's have fun.'"

"I was usually very very drunk doing those evenings, I tended not to care about much until the next day. I had to be very drunk or smoke l lots of weed (sic) to survive those nights," the publication claims Wilkinson said. Yikes!

And she then reportedly went on to explain in unflattering detail just how quickly Hefner gets the job done.

Star Wars fans may be forgoing their morning cup of joe after watching the Episode VII teaser. The 88-second trailer delivers an awful lot of excitement, including new characters, new robots, new weapons and a beautiful shot of the Millennium Falcon battling TIE Fighters on what appears to be Tatooine.

Who needs coffee after that?

#RejectedStarWarsTitles: Better than the new Star Wars VII title?

The trailer starts off in signature J.J. Abrams style, with darkness and music building to a crescendo in the background as a mysterious landscape comes into focus, giving the audience the feeling that at any moment someone, or something, is going to come lurching into that all-too-still frame. It's a technique Lost fans are quite familiar with, and it sets a seductive tone for the breakneck pace of the action to follow. The teaser features so many reveals in quick succession that you're probably going to want to watch the trailer a few times.

Here are a few of our favorite sneak peeks from the trailer:

New robots

The trailer begins with a voice-over telling us that the force has been awakened. Then we get to this mysteriously cloaked figure in the woods, and while the voice-over says, "The dark side..." he whips out the wildest light saber we've seen yet. Who is this cloaked figure? And does his medieval cross-guard light saber design have anything to do with the fact that Jedi's hands seem to be at near constant risk for amputation?

We also get to see Star Wars newbies John Boyega and Oscar Isaac, although it seems we're going to have to wait a bit longer to see returning cast members like Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill.

So even though this teaser trailer is short, Disney and Abrams have given us a lot to chew on. Watch the full trailer below to get the full experience and to see that beautiful Millennium Falcon in action.

8 Times Hollywood whitewashed the Bible (VIDEOS)

I'm not going to lie: I was pretty excited when I saw the trailer for Exodus: Gods and Kings, mostly because I'm a history dork, especially when it comes to ancient Egypt, so the architecture and costume shots really did it for me. There's just one problem: The movie is facing criticism for its primarily white cast, which is a little extremely problematic because historically, there was an overall lack of white dudes in ancient Egypt. People are noticing, and the hashtag #BoycottExodusMovie popped up over the weekend as more and more people expressed their distaste for the casting choice. There are actors of color in significant roles, but Christian Bale was cast as Moses, the protagonist, while Sigourney Weaver will play Queen Tuya, the mother of Ramses.

Scott, for his part, isn't doing himself any favors with remarks like, "I can't mount a film of this budget, where I have to rely on tax rebates in Spain, and say that my lead actor is Mohammed so-and-so from such-and-such." Yikes.

The truth is, there's a long history of whitewashing in Hollywood, and Gods and Kings is just the latest Biblical epic to continue the tradition.

This movie was controversial for its time, since it was based on a novel of the same name that portrayed Jesus as surprisingly human. Of course, a rosy cheeked, sandy blond Willem Dafoe as the Semitic Christ didn't seem to raise any eyebrows at the time.

Speaking of controversial flicks, this one certainly takes the cake. While it's important to take the whole movie with a heaping of salt, it's worth noting that the cast in this Monty Python comedy were all pretty, erm, homogeneous.

To be fair, this rock opera did cast Carl Anderson, a black actor — as traitor Judas Iscariot. Lily-white Ted Neeley played the main man himself.

This movie was a huge hit, and remarkable in that accuracy was purportedly so important to Mel Gibson when he directed it that all of the dialogue was performed in ancient Aramaic or Latin.

Johnny Depp's drunken speech has everyone worried: Is he going to rehab?

During an interview with Details magazine, the Alice in Wonderland actor gave a profanity-laden speech about how he's in a place in his life where he just doesn't give a hoot.

"What is really satisfying is, like Marlon [Brando], getting to that place where he just didn't give a f***," Depp said of the late actor and his mentor. "Suddenly you care enough not to give a f***, because not giving a f***, that's the total liberation. Being game to try anything."

So, if you were thinking that Johnny Depp might be embarrassed and keeping a low profile after his very drunken award speech at the Hollywood Film Awards earlier this month, well, then we guess you'd be wrong.

Here's how Johnny Depp's street cred just went through the roof (VIDEO)

Depp shocked the audience and made fans wonder if there was reason to be concerned, but Depp simply referred to it as "one of those nights."

He is also aware of how the success of a film can be hard to live up to. Take Pirates of the Caribbean, for example, which was a massive box-office success — something that studio execs now expect from Depp every time he is in a film. So, how does Depp feel about the pressures of fame?

All of Tim Burton's films ranked and summarized in 140 characters or less

"It's like being a dog at the track. They expect you to live up to some race you happened to be in and won accidentally," he explained of his Pirates of the Caribbean success. "From that first second, you're nothing more than a commodity. They have expectations of another Pirates. It's great if something works. Boy, that's killer. But god, to have that as your design… it's ugly, I think."

See I want R.E.M. to stay just the way I know and love them — I don't want 'Everybody Hurts' to suddenly be used in an Excedrin commercial."

5 Reasons why Maria Shriver is right to worry about Miley ruining Christmas

8 Times celebs sex-shamed porn stars, er pop stars

According to HollywoodLife, a source revealed to them that mommy dearest is worried about the effect that the pop star may have on her son. And the relationship is reportedly "putting a huge strain on the holidays for Maria, she's so worried where this whole thing could lead Patrick. It's got her very upset," the source says.

And perhaps Shriver has reasons to be worried.

1. Miley Cyrus has a potty mouth

We love Cyrus, but she is not the most ladylike young woman out there. You need only glance at her Instagram page to see that she's rather fond of curse words.

Take her picture where she explains what she's thankful for, for example: "feeling f***ing thankful & it's not the season." Case in point.

2. Is she ever not nude?

In recent years, Cyrus has become famous for her sexed-up image and it doesn't look to be going away anytime soon. Just look at the picture she posted on Instagram on Thursday, which shows her in bed (and she looks to be naked). Yes, Miss Cyrus has in fact made more headlines for her barely there outfits than she has for her music lately.

She might attend a Christmas celebration wrapped in tinsel — and only tinsel.

3. She's extremely wild and has no boundaries

The "Wrecking Ball" hit maker recently celebrated her 22nd birthday party and it was everything you could expect: a penis-shaped mechanical bull, oversized hash leaves... and she was reportedly even topless for part of the celebrations.

We doubt Shriver is impressed by these antics. And we bet she's worried that a scantily clad young star might be prancing around her home and making penis-shaped gingerbread cookies this holiday season.

4. She's not exactly a guest you want at your dinner table

If Cyrus doesn't turn up to the dinner table half-nude, then she is always a box filled with surprises, and the last thing you want when you're trying to have a nice Christmas meal is for someone to do something hideously inappropriate.

Who knows whether she's going to bring a weed brownie to dinner or not?

5. She could be a bad influence

According to HollywoodLife, a source revealed to them that "Maria is very, very worried about the influence Miley's having on Patrick. She fully believes that you become who you surround yourself with and she's always been so happy with the friends Patrick chooses; she never saw this coming." Just one more way she could potentially destroy the holidays.

7 Pharrell Williams collaborations you forgot about

Much to the delight of fans, Busta Rhymes — whose real name is Trevor Tahiem Smith Jr. — made a surprise appearance in the early hours of the morning at another rapper's concert at Webster Hall, a nightclub and concert venue in New York City, and gave the crowd more him than they were expecting.

The rapper unfortunately fell into the crowd after he slipped while leaning into the pit, TMZ reports. Ouch!

In a video obtained by TMZ, you can see the "Dangerous" rapper dancing along at the front of the stage and bobbing his head before he loses his balance and takes a nosedive into the crowd. And he looks to have been quite badly hurt, too, because when the Brooklyn native stood up again, his face was pouring with blood and it looked as though he got quite a nasty gash on his head.

John Travolta's Oscars name flub left Idina Menzel frozen

Frozen star Idina Menzel confirmed that Frozen 2 is in the works.

The Disney film is already the talk of the holidays, with Frozen merchandise flying off the shelves as the must-have gifts of the season.

And Menzel is keeping the hype going.

During an interview with The Telegraph, Menzel, who voices ice queen Elsa, was asked about Frozen 2 and the stage musical. She said that "they're all in the works." Menzel added that she expects to be invited back to voice the character for the sequel, though she wouldn't be involved in the planned stage show. "I'm just going along for the ride," the actress shared.

Idina Menzel wants to star in Frozen on Broadway

In addition to the development of a sequel and the theater production, Disney is also producing a six-minute short film called Frozen Fever, which The Telegraph said is expected to be shown in cinemas this Christmas.

Frozen has become the highest-grossing animated film of all time since it hit theaters back in November 2013. It garnered more than $1 billion at the box office. Frozen won Oscars last year for Animated Feature Film and for Music (Original Song), for the hit "Let It Go," which Menzel sung.

Adele Dazeem heads to Broadway

Menzel, a longtime Broadway star, admitted she is surprised by the success of the movie and the now-iconic song, "I remember some of those classic Disney songs from movies, and you knew the character but you didn't know the person behind the song. But this is different, this is weird."

Thanks to Frozen, Menzel has gained worldwide recognition. The sequel will no doubt continue to show off her powerhouse vocals.

We're willing to bet that everyone who attends will get to witness some epic stoner s***.

Like some sweet, sweet dance moves.

Or fun with insects.

Possibly lessons on how to entertain yourself during the apocalypse.

Whatever happens, if Franco and Rogen are involved, there's sure to be some nudity.

If marijuana isn't your thing and you'd rather throw back a beer or two with Rogen, better head to the East Coast. The actor has extended a similar invitation to drink some brewskis with him in Boston.

Piers Morgan slams Shia LaBeouf for #IAMSORRY rape claims

'Shia LaBeouf' Live is either really weird or awesome — OK, it's both (VIDEO)

Morgan took to Twitter to express his outrage over LaBeouf's recent statement that he was raped by a woman during a five-day performance art exhibit, in which LaBeouf wore a paper bag over his head and people were invited to sit alone with him.

"One woman who came with her boyfriend, who was outside the door when this happened, whipped my legs for ten minutes and then stripped my clothes and proceeded to rape me..." LaBeouf said in an e-mail interview with Dazed & Confused magazine.

According to LaBeouf, news of the incident spread through the line at the exhibit. His girlfriend, Mia Goth, even found out what had happened. Because of the requirements of the exhibit, however, they were unable to speak and LaBeouf couldn't talk about it.

Morgan isn't buying it.

Not only did Morgan make it clear that he doesn't believe LaBeouf was, by definition, raped, he even went so far as to say that LaBeouf was lying about the entire incident for the sake of publicity.

Morgan's comments call into question not only the legitimacy of LaBeouf's claims but also the definitions of rape and consent. If a person who theoretically has the ability to fight and say no does neither of those things when someone initiates sex, is that, in essence, giving consent? Or does consent have to be given verbally in order to be valid?

Shia LaBeouf might have plans to make Brad Pitt his husband

This fascinating discussion clearly does not have black-and-white answers, as evidenced by the passionate outcry raised by people supporting LaBeouf and people who are outraged by his claim.

Do you think LaBeouf was raped? Or is this a story aimed at publicity?

Ray Rice's suspension is over and we should all be upset

5 Questions we have for the NFL regarding the Ray Rice case

A judge ruled on Rice's appeal of his indefinite suspension Friday, saying the former Baltimore Ravens running back can begin playing again. The suspension was given by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell after a video surfaced online showing Rice hitting his then-fiancée, now wife, Janay Rice, in an elevator in February.

Rice was originally given a two-game suspension for the incident. It wasn't until after the video appeared online — and commissioner Goodell claimed he had never seen it — that a harsher punishment was given for what appeared to be an extremely brutal act of domestic violence. In the video, Ray Rice can be seen dragging Janay's unconscious body from the elevator after he punched her in the face.

It's been widely reported that Goodell's claim that he hadn't seen the video wasn't true.

15 #WhyIStayed tweets that'll give you goosebumps

That's why, while what Ray Rice did is appalling and absolutely worthy of our collective rage, we should be directing it in Goodell's direction now.

Today's ruling on Rice's appeal means the judge, having seen and heard all the evidence, decided Rice was telling the truth about his initial punishment. That means the NFL's top officials, including Goodell, knew the extent of Rice's abuse of his wife long before the video made the rounds online. And it means those same officials thought that sitting out two games was an appropriate punishment for punching a woman so hard it knocked her out.

The Ravens have dropped Rice from the team, so whether he returns to the NFL is still uncertain. But through all of this, Goodell has remained NFL commissioner, and that is something we shouldn't sit back and allow to happen.

The NFL has sidelined women's safety — again

Rice's crimes are terrible, but Goodell is guilty of a crime just as terrible: turning a blind eye and allowing domestic violence to happen with virtually no consequences. The media ousted him this time, but will he do it again? That's a chance none of us should be willing to take.

25 Things Shia LaBeouf does that the rest of us could never pull off

1. Totally piss off Harrison Ford and rip on a classic film franchise in the same breath.

2. Hide in Selena Gomez's dressing room and surprise the hell out of her. Others have tried, and they have failed. And by failed we definitely mean gotten slapped with a restraining order.

3. Watch movies in a dimly lit West Hollywood apartment above a liquor store with a pink-kimono-clad Marilyn Manson.

4. Get in bar brawl outside of a Vancouver dive on Saturday, then enjoy a lovely, sunny bike ride through the city on Sunday.

5. Badmouth the very movies that made him famous for allowing "no room for being a visionary," yet continue to land roles in said movies.

6. See also: Call himself a visionary. Inferred or otherwise.

7. Partake of a little holiday Starbucks with someone after sharing explicit sex scenes with them. No, no, we're not blushing — the chai tea latte is just super hot.

8. Or, you know, have legit sex on camera and call it art or a statement or anything other than porn or One Night in [insert name here].

9. Sit silently in a room in Los Angeles and call it art. In the immortal words of Carrie Bradshaw, "Oh please! There are depressed women all over New York doing the exact same thing as her and not calling it art. I mean, if you put a phone up on that platform, it's just a typical Friday night waiting for some guy to call." #IAMSORRY #IAMNOTSORRY

10. Convince Transformers' casting director he's hot enough to conceivably land Megan Fox.

11. And, oh yeah, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, too. I mean, he's cute and all, but... c'mon.

12. Get romantic on a dirty New York City sidewalk with gf Mia Goth. Should we "aww" or "eww"?

13. Admit to getting high on acid and filming it... three times. Guys, it was in the name of art. Three times. Three times in the name of art.

14. Take a role in a play, get in an infamously public feud with the hotheaded director, quit said play (or get fired, jury's still out) and follow all that up by booking a front-row seat for its premiere.

15. Plagiarize a graphic novella for a short film and — wait for it — later plagiarizing the apology for plagiarizing in the first place.

16. Officially retire from public life... via Twitter.

17. Aaaand then head-butt some dude in a London bar brawl a week later.

18. Apologize for drunkenly head-butting a fellow bargoer by claiming to be "super normal." Because, naturally, all super normal people are gifted bar head-butters.

19. Rock the red carpet wearing a paper bag over his head. So, yeah.

20. Get kicked out of a Broadway production of Cabaret. Like, seriously... what does one even do to get kicked out of Cabaret?

21. Call Brad Pitt "my husband." Oh, no, wait. We do do that. Every. Single. Day.

22. Pull out a tooth, which LaBeouf did to prepare for his role in Fury. Did we mention his "husband" Brad Pitt said afterwards that LaBeouf was one of the best actors he's ever worked with?

23. Reveal utterly shocking admissions in the most cavalier way possible — via email.

24. Strap a GoPro to his head, stare at a journalist for an hour and call it an interview.

25. Do all the aforementioned s*** and somehow have us more-than-marginally convinced it's all part of his elaborate performance art, and he's secretly a frickin' genius.

These beautiful actresses ditched the makeup and won an Oscar

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie won an Oscar for her portrayal of sociopath Lisa in Girl Interrupted. Jolie ditched the face paint to play a strung-out psycho and laughed all the way to the Oscar stage.

Details on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's fight are really intense

Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron got all chubby and ugh-lee (to the point of being unrecognizable) for her role in Monster. When you're as stunning as Theron, it takes a lot of guts to step in front of the camera without any makeup on. The risk was worth it — Theron's courage helped her score an Oscar.

Hilary Swank

Usually, Hilary Swank's facial features make the rest of the female population want to walk around with a bag over our heads. In Boys Don't Cry, not only did Swank go bare-faced, she cut off all her hair and altered her body to look like a man. Swank did cry a lot in the movie, but she smiled from ear to ear when she won her Oscar.

Nicole Kidman

On the red carpet, Nicole Kidman is flawless. The opposite was true when she played Virginia Woolf in The Hours. Mrs. Urban looked downright dreadful, but she won an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

Don't believe anything Nicole Kidman says, she is not pregnant

Jennifer Aniston

Rachel called and she wants her hair, makeup and impeccable wardrobe from the Gap back, please. This is not your older sister's Aniston. She is plain-faced and greasy-haired in her new movie Cake, and already she is creating a lot of Oscar buzz. We'll have to wait and see if Aniston gets to join this list for good.

Reese Witherspoon

Aniston's makeup-free Cake look is generating Oscar excitement, but Reese Witherspoon may give her a run for her money. Don't look now, but the impossibly cute and perky Witherspoon is rocking a naked face in her new movie Wild. So, Reese, are you ready to win another Oscar?

5. Her nicknames are "Apes" and "Love"

(We gotta ask — is "Love" her real middle name? It sounds a little made-up.)

6. She has terrible taste in music

She likes Justin Bieber and Chris Brown! (She redeems herself slightly by also liking Beyoncé and Michael Jackson.)

7. She has poor selfie-judgment

Geary got in hot water last week when she — in an act of incredibly poor taste — posted selfies while posing in the house and bedroom that Thicke and estranged wife Paula Patton shared. The images have since been removed from social media.

8. She may also have poor taste in men

Geary just started dating Thicke, but according to an interview with Sports Illustrated, she was "in a relationship" last June. At least she took a little more time between relationships than Thicke did.

9. She gets confused sometimes

When SI asked if she was spontaneous or a planner, she underlined both. Cute. She also said if she started a charity, it would be to help "homeless kids find homes." We assume she meant she'd help homeless families find homes, as home ownership is a lot of responsibility for kids. Oh, to be 19 again. Speaking of which, did the drinking age in California change to 19 when we weren't looking?

10. She's best known for her…

"Never-ending legs and my bubble butt." Tee hee.

11. She loves playing Mario Kart

No way! She likes video games too? And hanging out in jeans and T-shirts? Someone has been taking a few too many "What guys look for in women" quizzes in Cosmo.
