Angus T. Jones Won't Be Regular on Two and a Half Men, Wants to Focus on Music Instead

When CBS's hit sitcom Two and a Half Men returns this fall, the show will be half a man down. CBS announced Friday, Apr. 26, that though the show -- and actors Jon Cryer and Ashton Kutcher -- will be returning for an 11th season, child star Angus T. Jones will not be signing on as a regular cast member.

Jones, 19, could reportedly return to the series periodically as a recurring character, however, Deadline.com reports. Both Kutcher and Cryer have signed on for one-year contracts for the series.

A source tells Us that one of the reasons Jones will not be returning is because his interests now lie elsewhere: Music.

"They tried really hard to keep him, but he was just done done," the source said, adding that the young actor is interested in "Skrillex style" tracks specifically.

Jones made headlines in November 2012 when he released a YouTube video slamming Men and calling the show "filth," asking viewers to "please stop watching." Shortly after the video went viral on the Internet, Jones came forward to apologize for his harsh words, offering a mea culpa to the cast and crew.

The actor apologized for "showing indifference and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed."

In January 2013, CBS entertainment chief Nina Tassler told reporters that she accepted the apology and was looking forward to having Jones back on the show. "The kid is 19 years old. I've got a 24-year-old," she said. "Between the ages of 19 and 24, there's been plenty of things my kid has said that I wish he hadn't. The bottom line is that cooler heads prevailed."

Ryan Seacrest, Julianne Hough Split: "It Just Got to Be Too Much"

Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough have decided to pull the plug on their relationship after more than two years of dating, sources confirm to Us .

And the notoriously busy Hollywood pair, who began dating in 2010, may have their packed schedules to blame.

"Honestly, their schedules were too hectic," a source tells Us. "It just got to be too much. I think they both just sort of knew they couldn't do it anymore. The travel and lifestyle got to be too much. Who knows if this is just for now, but I think this is for good."

In addition to hosting American Idol, Seacrest, 38, is also a radio host for his own show, On Air With Ryan Seacrest, as well as a red carpet host.

His 24-year-old love is similarly busy, promoting her latest flick Safe Haven, opposite Josh Duhamel, out in theaters just last month. She and brother Derek Hough, 27, are also currently collaborating on a Starz scripted drama about ballroom dance, titled Blackpool.

Last month, the former Dancing With the Stars pro dancer revealed that her Valentine's Day plans with Seacrest were going to be last-minute.

"I know there are plans, but I don't know what they are yet," she told Us in February. "I think I might be traveling. I'm not sure where. That's up to my boyfriend!"

Gerard Butler Admits He Slept With Brandi Glanville, But Forgot Her Name

Brandi Glanville didn't just dream that she hooked up with Gerard Butler -- the actor has finally verified their tryst. On The Howard Stern Show on Sirius XM Radio Monday, March 11, Butler admitted he did sleep with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, but forgot her name.

"It was a one-afternooner, but it was fun," the Olympus Has Fallen actor, 43, told Howard Stern. "She is wild."

But Glanville, 40, made it sound like it was a little longer than that when she went public that they slept together during a Jan. 24 episode of Watch What Happens Live. Glanville said they "had a little week of fun" and gave him an "11" out of ten when rating him as a lover.

Butler was informed about Glanville's comments when a paparazzo confronted him as he was walking down a street and reportedly said, "Brandi Glanville says you're great in bed."

"And you know what I said: 'Who's Brandi Glanville?'" Butler recalled to Stern. "Because one, I didn't know her last name and two, I didn't know she was a celebrity and I didn't know she was going to f--king tell people about it!"

How did he not learn her name? "Here's the thing. You're at a beach party, you're having fun and this girl comes along," he says in his defense. "'So, what do you do?' She says, 'Doesn't matter.' We hung out. We had a little bit of fun."

Once Butler figured out who she was, he called Glanville up. "I said one, 'I'm not very happy you did that because there are certain things you keep a little private.' And two, 'I'm sorry I said I didn't know who you were!'"


Butler is now, however, happily off the market. At the after party of the NYC premiere Monday of his new film, Olympus Has Fallen, the actor told Us why he loves girlfriend Madalina Ghenea, a model/actress he's been dating for 10 months.

"What I love about her is she digs me. Not many people when they get to know me put up with me and she does," he confessed. "She's incredibly beautiful, sexy, she's very compassionate, super smart and truly, she does get me. That's nice. It's nice when somebody pins you and they know everything about you and they see it in a positive way. A lot of stuff that I don't see in a positive way, after she's pined me I say, maybe I'm all right. Maybe I'm not the biggest dickhead on the planet!"

All My Children and One Life to Live Return Online April 29

Who Wore It Best: Khloe Kardashian or Julianne Hough?

They're electric! Both Khloe Kardashian and Julianne Hough have now worn Kaufmanfranco's neon yellow floor-length gown featuring nude illusion panels. The question is, Who Wore It Best?

Kardashian, 28, donned the dress at Elton John's annual Oscars viewing party in West Hollywood on Sunday, Feb. 24. "It was so much fun seeing the stunning dresses, jewels, hair and makeup worn by all of the beautiful fashionistas in attendance," the X Factor co-host blogged the following day. "It truly was the ultimate people watching experience."



Lamar Odom's wife wore her highlighted brown hair down in loose waves and completed her look with a coral lip. Hough showed off her fit figure in the citrine silk crepe column dress to the Rock of Ages premiere in Hollywood on June 8, 2012.



Unlike Kardashian, Ryan Seacrest's girlfriend wore her blonde locks in a messy topknot and added an orange-red lip. She styled the look with Stephen Webster jewels.

Anne Hathaway Threw "a Fit" Over Amanda Seyfried's Oscar Dress, Kim Kardashian Models Her

Anne Hathaway freaked out when she saw a picture of Amanda Seyfried's Alexander McQueen dress for the Oscars, and Kim Kardashian opens up about how "awkward" it is to dress her growing baby bump: See Us Weekly's top stories from Friday, March 1, in the roundup!

Us Weekly has brand-new details on what went down between Les Miserables co-stars Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried that caused a panicked Hathaway to ditch her Oscars gown the day before the big event -- and you won't believe the drama!

2. Kim Kardashian Models "Favorite Pregnancy Look," Says It's "So Awkward" to Dress Her Baby Bump

Kim Kardashian's latest outfit -- her "favorite pregnancy look" to date -- is white-hot, but she admits that she has struggled to dress her changing body as she prepares to give birth to her first child with boyfriend Kanye West.



Scott Disick hasn't been feeling the love from Kourtney Kardashian, his longtime girlfriend and the mother of his two children -- and Kourtney's sister Kim thinks the lack of affection and attention could cause the notorious party boy to stray.



Tori Spelling is fighting back against a Star magazine cover that claims the actress is on the brink of divorcing husband Dean McDermott, with whom she has four children. "He has stood by me during the good times and held my hand through the darkest moments of my life," she wrote in an open letter. "I'm so blessed to have him."



Gwyneth Paltrow is playing Fashion Police -- with herself! In the latest issue of Goop, the actress turns a critical eye on some of her red carpet hits and misses...and she's not afraid to admit that she slipped up a few times.

Liberty Ross, Rupert Sanders Divorce: She Couldn't "Get Over" His Kristen Stewart Affair

After one of the most trying (and public) years of her life, Liberty Ross is ready to liberate herself from husband Rupert Sanders. As revealed on Friday Jan. 25, the British model, 34, filed for divorce from the director, 41, after ten years of marriage and two kids (Skyla, 7, and Tennyson, 5). The move (Ross asks for joint custody of the kids, spousal support and attorney's fees) isn't exactly shocking: Despite several amicable meet ups with the kids, the twosome had appeared to be mostly estranged ever since Sanders was caught (in exclusive Us Weekly photos) having a midsummer fling with Kristen Stewart, the 22-year-old star of his Hollywood blockbuster Snow White and the Huntsman.

"This was a long time coming," one source tells Us Weekly, explaining that, in the aftermath of the shocking tryst, Sanders "did want to try to repair the relationship and didn't want a divorce."

Ross, who picked up her life and career in London to move with her husband to Hollywood a couple years ago, "was more than a little upset," adds a second insider. "They gave it a shot for the kids, [but] she was just so angry . . .she's the kind of person who wouldn't really ever get over it."



The stunning brunette, who walked in Alexander Wang's NYC Fashion Show last fall, hinted at changes to come in a confessional video series for the designer. "[This year was] the end of some things and the beginning of something else," she continued. "Beginnings and endings are always really exciting."



By contrast, in the wake of her betrayal (and a very public apology) Stewart mended things with her longtime love Robert Pattinsonl; although the British hunk is now filming in Australia, the Twilight costars were most recently spotted together at a private Golden Globes afterparty in Hollywood Jan. 13.

Daniel Radcliffe Flirts With Costar Erin Darke at Sundance Film Festival

Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe has cast a spell on actress Erin Darke, his costar in the upcoming film Kill Your Darlings. The two were seen packing on the PDA at Grey Goose Blue Door in Park City, Utah, on Friday, Jan. 18, sources confirm to Us.

"They were affectionate most of the night," says a source, who notes that Darke "was touching his knee" at their VIP table. "They were a little more obvious outside the venue after they were leaving."

The stars have yet to comment on the nature of their relationship, though a second insider says "they've been seeing each other" quietly in New York, where they both live. (Radcliffe's ex-girlfriends include production assistant Rosie Coker and actress Laura O'Toole.)





When Us caught up with Radcliffe, 23, at the Kill Your Darlings premiere Jan. 19, the English actor was strictly business. The film centers around a 1944 murder that brings together the Beat Generation's greatest poets: Allen Ginsberg (Radcliffe), Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston) and William Burroughs (Ben Foster). "It's an incredible story," Radcliffe said. "It's a pleasure to finally be able to tell it."




The role required Radcliffe to film his first gay sex scene -- a big departure for the man who played the world's most famous child wizard. Even so, Radcliffe still remains close with his Harry Potter costars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.



"I think we're all kind of looking out for each other, and kind of eagerly waiting for each other's films to come out. We're definitely looking out for each other with a very positive eye," Radcliffe told Us. "I think so far we're all doing really well."

Charlie Sheen to Become a Grandpa!

The Sheen genes live on! Charlie Sheen will become a first-time grandfather later this year when his oldest daughter, Cassandra Estevez, 28, gives birth to her first child.

The Anger Management star, 47, confirmed the happy news himself during an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman Monday, Jan. 14. He told Letterman he was excited about the new addition to his family, but he also admitted to being a little nervous.

"Me as a grandfather, Dave...I don't know. It's like the world's going to crack in half," he joked. "It's fabulous. It's just not a title I'm ready to adopt."

Asked whether he thought he'd be a good grandpa, the actor quipped, "Well, yeah, because you can leave the kid!"

Shortly after the interview, Sheen's ex-wife Denise Richards posted the news on Twitter. "I guess some of you have heard...Charlie Sheen is going to be a Grampa...yes, GRAMPA!" she wrote. "His beautiful daughter Cassandra is gonna be a mama."

Cassandra is Sheen's daughter with his high school sweetheart Paula Speert. The actor also has two younger daughters, Sam, 8, and Lola, 7, with second wife Richards, and 3-year-old twin sons, Bob and Max, with third wife Brooke Mueller.

Victor Garber Reveals He's Gay and Dating Artist Rainer Andreesen

While Jodie Foster made her sexual orientation a public spectacle at the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills Jan. 13, Titanic actor Victor Garber quietly confirmed that he's gay in an interview with Greg in Hollywood blogger Greg Hernandez.

Garber -- best known for his roles in the movies Argo, Legally Blonde, Milk, The First Wives Club and Sleepless in Seattle -- addressed his homosexuality during the TV Critics Association Press Tour in Pasadena, Calif. in early January.

Hernandez asked Garber about a Wikipedia entry that claimed he lives in New York City with artist and model Rainer Andreesen. "I don't really talk about it but everybody knows," the 63-year-old actor said of his relationship with Andreesen, a fellow Canadian. "He's going to be out here with me for the SAG Awards."

Garber -- who has been nominated for six Emmy Awards since entering show business -- first spoke about his longtime love in an April 2012 interview with Canada's Forever Young.

"My companion Rainer Andreesen and I have been together almost 13 years in Greenwich Village," he said. "We both love New York."


In addition to his film career, Garber has also appeared on the small screen in Alias, 30 Rock, Frasier, Ugly Betty, Web Therapy, The Big C, Damages, Deception, Eli Stone, Nurse Jackie and Glee.

Golden Globes: In quotes

The Golden Globes ceremony is often seen as a less formal, more relaxed cousin to the Oscars - as evidenced in the night's speeches.
Here are some of the highlights from the stage at the 2013 ceremony, including Jodie Foster's enigmatic acceptance of the lifetime achievement award.

AMY POEHLER and TINA FEY - opening monologue


 
Fey (l) was Globe nominated for her role in 30 Rock while Poehler was nominated for Parks and Recreation
Fey: "Tonight we honour the television shows that have entertained us all year, as well as the films that have only been in theatres for two days."
Poehler: "That's what makes tonight so special. Only at the Golden Globes, do the beautiful people of film rub shoulders with the rat-faced people of television."
Poehler: "It was a great year for women in film. Kathryn Bigelow [is] nominated tonight. I haven't really been following the controversy over Zero Dark Thirty, but when it comes to torture, I trust the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron."
Fey: "The Hunger Games was one of the biggest films of the year and also what I call the six weeks it took me to get into this dress."
Poehler: "Ang Lee's been nominated for Life of Pi which is what I'm going to call the six weeks after I take this dress off."

ADELE - receiving the best song award

Adle 
 Adele is also nominated for an Oscar for the title track from the latest Bond adventure
"Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh My God!
"Honestly, I have come out for a night out with my friend Ida - we're new mums - we've literally come for a night out. Thank you so much. Oh God!
"It's very strange to be here. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your world for a night. We've been pissing ourselves laughing at all of it.
"I'd like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press, I never thought I'd say that. Sony pictures; MGM; Sam Mendes; Paul Epworth, who I did the song with; Daniel Craig for being such a wonderful Bond.
"And this is for my boyfriend, Simon, who convinced me to do it, and my lovely son."

BEN AFFLECK - receiving the best director award

Ben Affleck  
Affleck has also been nominated for a Bafta for his award-winning movie
Affleck received his prize from Halle Berry who, moments before, had announced the names of the five nominees, including Kathryn Bigelow, Ang Lee, Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino.
"Look, I don't care what the award is. When they put your name next to the names that she just read out, it's an extraordinary thing in your life.
"These nominees are exceptional talents. I truly to God never thought I would be in the same breath as them.
"I gotta thank my agent Patrick Whitesell who was with me when I was like a nobody, then when I was somebody, then when I was in a little bit of trouble. He stuck with me then, too, and we tried to put it back together."

JODIE FOSTER - Cecil B DeMille award for lifetime achievement

Jodie Foster  
Foster's first starring role was as an underage prostitute opposite Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver
"Trust me, 47 years in the film business is a long time. You just ask those Golden Globies, because you crazy kids, you've been around here forever... It is the most fun party of the year, and tonight I feel like the prom queen.
"Thank you. Looking at all those clips, you know, the hairdos and the freaky platform shoes, it's like a home-movie nightmare that just won't end, and all of these people sitting here at these tables, they're my family of sorts, you know. Fathers mostly. Executives, producers, the directors, my fellow actors out there. We've giggled through love scenes, we've punched and cried and spit and vomited and blown snot all over one another — and those are just the co-stars I liked.
"But, you know, more than anyone else I share my most special memories with members of the crew. Blood-shaking friendships, brothers and sisters. We made movies together, and you can't get more intimate than that.
"So while I'm here being all confessional, I guess I have a sudden urge to say something that I've never really been able to air in public. So, a declaration that I'm a little nervous about but maybe not quite as nervous as my publicist right now, huh Jennifer? But I'm just going to put it out there, right? Loud and proud, right? So I'm going to need your support on this.
"I am... single.
"Yes I am, I am single. No, I'm kidding — but I mean I'm not really kidding, but I'm kind of kidding. I mean, thank you for the enthusiasm. Can I get a wolf whistle or something?
"I hope that you're not disappointed that there won't be a big coming-out speech tonight because I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago back in the Stone Age. Those very quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends and family and co-workers and then gradually, proudly to everyone who knew her, to everyone she actually met.
"But now, apparently, I'm told that every celebrity is expected to honour the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a prime-time reality show.
"And you guys might be surprised, but I am not Honey Boo Boo Child. No, I'm sorry, that's just not me. It never was and it never will be. But please don't cry because my reality show would be so boring. I would have to make out with Marion Cotillard or I'd have to spank Daniel Craig's bottom just to stay on the air. It's not bad work if you can get it, though.
"But seriously, if you had been a public figure from the time that you were a toddler, if you'd had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe you too might value privacy above all else. Privacy. Some day, in the future, people will look back and remember how beautiful it once was.
"I have given everything up there from the time that I was three years old. That's reality show enough, don't you think?
Jodie Foster 
 Foster has won two previous Globes from seven nominations
"There are a few secrets to keeping your psyche intact over such a long career. The first: Love people and stay beside them. That table over there, 222, way out in Idaho, Paris, Stockholm, that one, next to the bathroom with all the unfamous faces, the very same faces for all these years. My acting agent, Joe Funicello — Joe, do you believe it, 38 years we've been working together? Even though he doesn't count the first eight.
"Matt Saver, Pat Kingsley, Jennifer Allen, Grant Niman and his uncle Jerry Borack, may he rest in peace. Lifers. My family and friends here tonight and at home, and of course, Mel Gibson. You know you save me too.
"There is no way I could ever stand here without acknowledging one of the deepest loves of my life, my heroic co-parent, my ex-partner in love but righteous soul sister in life, my confessor, ski buddy, consigliere, most beloved BFF of 20 years, Cydney Bernard. Thank you, Cyd.
"I am so proud of our modern family. Our amazing sons, Charlie and Kit, who are my reason to breathe and to evolve, my blood and soul. And boys, in case you didn't know it, this song, all of this, this song is for you.
"This brings me to the greatest influence of my life, my amazing mother, Evelyn. Mom, I know you're inside those blue eyes somewhere and that there are so many things that you won't understand tonight. But this is the only important one to take in: I love you, I love you, I love you. And I hope that if I say this three times, it will magically and perfectly enter into your soul, fill you with grace and the joy of knowing that you did good in this life. You're a great mom. Please take that with you when you're finally OK to go.
"You see, Charlie and Kit, sometimes mom, your mom loses it too. And I can't help but get moony, you know. This feels like the end of one era and the beginning of something else. Scary and exciting and now what?
"Well, I may never be up on this stage again, on any stage for that matter. Change, you gotta love it. I will continue to tell stories, to move people by being moved - the greatest job in the world. It's just that from now on, I may be holding a different talking stick. And maybe it won't be as sparkly, maybe it won't open on 3,000 screens, maybe it will be so quiet and delicate that only dogs can hear it whistle. But it will be my writing on the wall: Jodie Foster was here, I still am, and I want to be seen, to be understood deeply and to be not so very lonely.
"Thank you, all of you, for the company. Here's to the next 50 years."

BILL CLINTON - introducing Lincoln as a best film nominee

Bill Cinton 
 The former president was referred to by co-host Poehler as "Hillary Clinton's husband"
The former US president flew in to California just as the Golden Globes ceremony began. Although he was officially visiting the state for another event, regarding his charity work, he stopped by the Golden Globes to endorse Steven Spielberg's biopic of Abraham Lincoln.
He described the film's plot as: "A tough fight to push a bill through a bitterly divided House of Representatives.
"Winning it required the president to make a lot of unsavoury deals that had nothing to do with the big issue. I wouldn't know anything about that.
"President Lincoln's struggle to abolish slavery reminds us that enduring progress is forged in a cauldron of both principle and compromise. This brilliant film shows us how we did it, and gives us hope that we can do it again.
"In Lincoln, we see a man more interesting than the legend, and a far better guide for future presidents. Every hard-fought effort to protect our union has demanded the same combination of steely resolve and necessary compromises that Lincoln mastered to preserve the union and end slavery. We're all here tonight because he did."

JENNIFER LAWRENCE - receiving the best actress award

Jennifer Lawrence  
Lawrence has also been nominated for an Oscar
As Lawrence took to the stage, she read the inscription on her trophy and said: "What does it say? 'I beat Meryl!'"
The comment garnered criticism on Twitter, from people who thought she was making a dig at fellow nominee Meryl Streep.
In fact, she was referencing the 1996 film First Wives Club, in which Bette Midler tells Goldie Hawn's character: "Once you were a terrific actress. You even got an Oscar to prove it... 'I beat Meryl.' That's what it says."
Lawrence's speech continued with praise for her Silver Linings Playbook director David O Russell and co-star Bradley Cooper.
"I am so honoured to be part of a film like this. David, thank you for believing in me and giving me a chance. There's a reason why so many actors have thanked you from this stage, you are simply the best.
"Bradley, you're incredible and you made me better every single day.
"Harvey [Weinstein, producer] thank you for killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here."

Jodie Foster: I'm Not Retiring, Coming Out Speech "Speaks for Itself"

Jodie Foster is not ready to walk out into the sunset, thank you very much. After delivering a powerful, news-making speech at the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills on Sunday Jan. 13 -- in which the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award winner acknowledged that she's gay and seemed to hint at retirement -- Foster, 50, clarified her statements to reporters in the Green Room at the Beverly Hilton.

"I could never stop acting. You'd have to drag me behind, like, a team of horses," the Silence of the Lambs star insisted. "No, I'm not retiring from acting. And, you know, I'd like to be directing tomorrow . . . I'm actually more into it than I have ever been." Foster, who has been acting since she was a toddler, explained that the point of her speech was "that people change. Change is important. And, you know, hopefully I'll be doing different things than I did when I was three years old and six years old and ten years old and 20 years old . . . My work is evolving."

As for the more personal aspects of the address, in which Foster mentioned her former female partner and explained she "came out a million years ago" in private? "The speech kind of speaks for itself. It's a big, long career, and it's not just a career; it's friendships and relationships . . . I feel like I am graduating from something . . . And it's a big moment, and I wanted to say, you know, what's most in my heart."

Foster, mom to sons Charlie and Kit, added that she wasn't worried about regretting her frank disclosure the morning after. "It's an expression of who I am and what I'm thinking and feeling." The Accused actress also raised a few eyebrows (as she has in the past) when she acknowledged her close friend, the ever-controversial, volatile Mel Gibson, in her speech. (Gibson, 57, looked on tearfully in the audience.)

"I know Mel Gibson extremely well, and he's somebody that I love and that I have worked with and that I respect, and it's not difficult to say that. You know, it's very easy to say that. My — the man that I know is a true and loyal friend, and considerate, loving," she said of Gibson. Over the summer, Foster also spoke up for her former Panic Room costar Kristen Stewart at the height of her cheating scandal. "I think it's important that when people are struggling, that you not run away from them if you love them. Kristen, I mean, I look at the room tonight, you know, Kristen Stewart and Claire Danes, Jennifer Lawrence, all these young women that I worked with who basically were child actors like I was a child actor, and then I feel very protective of them, because even though I think I have managed to get through the process relatively sanely, I had my scars, and I hope to be in some ways a member of their family that's out there protecting them."

Foster's biggest shock of all: That she's still working in Hollywood. "You know, from the time I was little, my mom prepared me for the fact that my career would be over by the time I was 18 . . . I am very surprised that I ended up doing the same job that I did from the time I was three!"

Golden Globes 2013: Us' Best-Dressed List Revealed!

The stars did what they were supposed to do last night, Jan. 13, at the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills: They sparkled bright—literally, for some of them.

There were a few head-scratchers, for sure. Halle Berry in a diaphanous, patterned, one-shouldered number with a thigh-revealing slit, Lucy Liu in a big floral ballgown, and Rachel Weisz in a black dress with polkadot see-through skirt were a few of the actresses whose getups gave us pause. But the bulk of the looks were red carpet-worthy and just stunning. The hard part: Whittling down the list to just 15.

Among the standouts? Golden Globe winners Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables) and Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook), and Jennifer Garner, whose husband Ben Affleck (Argo) won for Best Director. Tell Us: Did your favorite gowns make the list?

No night is complete without a few party fouls, and Hollywood's "party of the year" was no exception. This year's Golden Globes in Beverly Hills played host to a number of memorable speeches, jaw-dropping gowns, and -- most importantly -- a good dose of awkwardness.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler kicked off the night with a few strategic zingers at everyone from James Franco to James Cameron, but the Saturday Night Live pals really just got the ball rolling. The remainder of the star-studded evening unfolded with its own generous amount of gaffes, laughs and brow-furrowing moments.

Recap the most awkward moments from the 2013 Golden Globes below.

1. Taylor Swift gets dissed: About halfway through the show, Fey and Poehler took a moment to warn their Hollywood colleagues to keep Glenn Close away from the alcohol -- and country darling Swift away from Michael J. Fox's son Sam, Mr. Golden Globes for the evening.

"You know what, Taylor Swift? Stay away from Michael J. Fox's son!" Fey joked as the audience tittered nervously. Swift, 23, recently made headlines after parting ways with British beau Harry Styles. The singer smiled demurely.

Fey tried to save the situation. "She needs some me time to learn about herself," she explained.

2. Jodie Foster references Honey Boo Boo in her coming out speech: After teasing the audience by joking about being single, Foster made a snide comment about the state of celebrity today, referencing one of pop culture's most recent stars: Honey Boo Boo.

"I did my coming out a thousand years ago back in the stone age, in those quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends and family," she began. "Now I'm told every celebrity is expected [to share] the details of their private life with a reality show. But I'm not Honey Boo Boo!"

3. Paul Rudd and Salma Hayek's teleprompter issues: So that's what happens when they go off-script! Rudd and Hayek were the unfortunate victims of technological difficulties Sunday night when their teleprompter reportedly stopped working just as they were about to present the award for Best TV Drama. A few awkward moments passed before Rudd tried to fill the silence.

"Hello," the This Is 40 star attempted. "How's everybody doing? Good? All right, great." Hayek tried to pick up the pieces with, "Okay, something about the best, uh…" before the nominees' clips began to roll on-screen, complete with pre-recorded voiceover.

Rudd was able to interject a quick "and the winner is…" before handing the prize over to Homeland.

4. HFPA president hits on Bradley Cooper: Nothing says you've made it in Hollywood quite like getting a wink and a smile from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association president. During her address to the audience Sunday night, Dr. Aida Takla-O'Reilly tried to turn the usually dry portion of the ceremony into an entertaining jab at pop culture.

Takla-O'Reilly concluded her speech with "three words to Bradley Cooper": "Call Me Maybe." A startled Cooper tried to maintain his composure after being called out by the kindly president.

5. Aziz Ansari jokes about weed: It's natural to be nervous presenting an award at the Golden Globes, but Ansari took his duties a bit too seriously with his Downton Abbey gag. The Parks and Recreation actor presented an award with Arrested Development's Jason Bateman and pretended to be high the entire time.

"The cast of Downton Abbey has some great week backstage!" he declared as the crowd laughed nervously. "Michelle Dockery, I hope you have some more of those tasty cookies -- or biscuits, as you call them."

Bateman pretended to bat Ansari away as they announced the nominees, but the joke left the audience more dazed and confused than laughing uproariously.

6. Sacha Baron Cohen makes off-color joke about Anne Hathaway: The king of crude comments made his way on-stage to present the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film Sunday, but not before using the platform to get in a few jabs about the cast of Les Miserables.

"Russell Crowe had four months of singing lessons, that was money well spent," he quipped after joking about Hugh "Jackson" and Helena Bonham Carter. But he saved his biggest zing for Hathaway as he closed out his routine.

"Enough of me pulling back the curtains of Hollywood -- and I'm not referring to Anne Hathaway's up-skirt shot," he chuckled. Hathaway responded with a few giggles and a tight smile in the audience.

Sean Lowe: Being The Bachelor Is "Physically Exhausting and Emotionally Taxing"

Sounds like it's a hard-knock life for The Bachelor star Sean Lowe! The 29-year-old Dallas native is just one week into reliving his journey toward finding true love on the reality dating show, but the sexy insurance agent admits it was a tough process from the start.

"It wasn't an easy decision, because when the producers initially approached me, I was still getting over Emily [Maynard] and that was so emotionally taxing,” he said in a recent interview with E! Online. "[But] I felt like I owed it to myself to give it one more chance."

Lowe met and mingled with 26 eager contestants on the season premiere this past Monday, Jan. 7, but going into the following week, he's narrowed the field down to 19.

"Sean is the real deal," a source tells Us about Shirtless Sean. "He is really Christian and a good guy."

On Monday night's premiere, Lowe fended off a very drunk hairstylist Ashley P. but gave a rose to wedding dress-wearing hopeful Lindsay.


"That one took me back. My first reaction was like,'I gotta get out of here. This girl's crazy'" he told E! of his initial reaction to her exit from the limo. "But after sitting down with her, I realized that she just has a really cool sense of humor and I can appreciate that."

Lowe will next try his hand at a variety of dates -- both one-on-ones and group dates -- with the remaining contestants, including one in which he goes shirtless to pose in a vampire-themed photo shoot.
