Aaron Carter is Taking Time Off Twitter to Take Care of Himself, Will Come Back 2018
2017 has been one heck of a seesaw for Aaron Carter. Earlier this year, he addressed concerns over his weight, revealing that he suffers from an epigastric condition known as hiatus hernia. Last month, he publicly came out as bisexual, eliciting mixed reactions online. He’s also been involved in a string of worrying incidents, ranging from a massive car crash, to multiple police visits triggered by severe depression and suicidal behavior. There were also rumors that Carter had tried to purchase a gun and was reportedly threatening family members. Whatever the case might have been, it’s clear the former teen heartthrob isn’t in a very good place at the moment.

Ricebailed: Actors Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson Part After 10 Years Together
The Hayden/Rachel ship was the definition of OTP for many Star Wars and Jumper fans in the late 2000s. We fell in love with their electrifying chemistry as David and Millie — and we found their off-screen romance honest and captivating. Their unspoken rule on privacy was a breath of fresh air in paparazzi-infested Hollywood, where privacy seems to now be a relic of a time long gone. Sadly, it seems their time together is finally up as well.

Like Father, Like Son: Gotham’s David Mazouz Wants to Play Damian Wayne in the DCEU
When David Mazouz first put on Bruce Wayne’s tailored suits in 2014 to play the young billionaire in Gotham, viewers quickly developed a sort of kinship with him, and for good reason — he’s managed to bring out the best and the worst in Batman by portraying him in equal doses as tortured yet naive. He can portray all his various polarities, without any one of them overwhelming the other. Needless to say, Mazouz easily became a fan favorite.

‘A F*cking Bootcamp’: Nightwing’s Solo Film Will Be Mostly Stuntwork, With Little CGI - Says Director Chris McKay
The best thing about the Bat family is the same thing many claim to be its biggest weakness: the group’s humanity and obvious lack of superpowered abilities. While the rest of the Justice League gets by with the help of cosmic rings, world-leveling alien superpowers, metahuman abilities, cybernetic body parts, magic, and divine pedigree, Bruce Wayne, Batgirl, and the Robins get by on human effort, luck, extraordinary diligence, willpower, observation, and mortal intuition. And so far they have performed beyond expectations. Not just performed, even led their own teams — from the Teen #Titans to the Justice League. Richard Grayson — otherwise known as the first Robin, Bruce’s temporary stand-in, and Blüdhaven’s resident Nightwing — is no different.

Over the weekend, veteran Hollywood director Ron Howard teased the latest casting in the Han Solo spin-off: Paul Bettany, the voice of JARVIS and the man behind The Vision. Fans and fellow celebs alike appear excited by the news, and why shouldn’t they be? Bettany is an avant-garde talent, cropping up in the unlikeliest of places but usually as an essential piece of a spectacular ensemble. Undoubtedly, his role in the MCU has upped his star power, but he is also something of a Ron Howard favorite, having worked with him prior in The Da Vinci Code and A Beautiful Mind. #Disney seems to want to keep things within the family for this Star Wars film.

Why Matt LeBlanc Is the Best Thing to Happen to Top Gear
The announcement of Matt LeBlanc joining the ranks of Top Gear is a headline you would never expect to see - clearly not, as bookmakers William Hill revealed with odds at 500/1, not a single person bet on him being the new host. It didn't quite break the internet, but it did send Twitter into a bit of a melt down; a seemingly strange turn of events like the resurrection of his character Dr. Drake Ramoray on Days of Our Lives. So what about the man behind the motor?
