Roberts recently told Extra about her co-star Ryan Reynolds: “He’s so great. He is such a full-blown actor in this movie.”

Julia was there with husband, Daniel Moder. The two were seen leaving the premiere early and heading to dinner at Morel’s restaurant. I spotted the couple walking side by side and wanted to take my first-ever pics of my all-time favorite actress but Daniel insisted that I not take more photos after I snapped the one posted below so as to “avoid creating a spectacle” around his wife. I obliged out of courtesy and fear even though I was part of registered media at a public event and had every right to take photos. After all, the couple was there to promote Julia’s movie, right?!

So, sorry guys and gals, this is all you get of the lovely couple! It’s the worst quality photo I may have ever snapped, but it’s a funny pic that’s worth a 1000 words, so, here you go. What’s the full story you ask? I won’t trash any celebs on my site. But I always get asked who is the least friendly celebrity you have ever photographed and I never have had a good answer until now because every celeb I have ever met or shot pics of has been so nice to me…..Admittedly, and sadly, this incident certainly has left a different and bitter taste in my mouth.

Lovato, who publicly battled bulimia and was involved in cutting herself, recently finished a three-month-long stint at a treatment facility. She said sharing her past ordeals is not only therapeutic for her, but it also lets her inspire people in similar situations to get help. “When you go through something like this,” Lovato said, “you really find out who your true friends are and [Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez] were really there for me.”

PHOTOS: 80’s Pop Rock Group The Bangles Are Back!

The 80’s all female pop rock band, The Bangles, are back, three of them anyway, with the group’s first studio album of new music in eight years. Sweetheart of the Sun was released September 27, 2011 and is their first album on the new Model Music Group label.

Known for their mega-hits Manic Monday, Walk Like an Egyptian, Eternal Flame, If She Knew What She Wants and their cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s A Hazy Shade of Winter, the group returned to the studio in 2009 after a long hiatus to record the new album with songs going back to the stylish jangly pop sound which shot them to the top of the charts during the mid-’80s.

Only bassist Michael Steele is missing from the album and from the tour that brings The Bangles — Susanna Hoffs, and sisters Vicki Peterson and Debbi Peterson — on the road once again. 

Here are pictures from their in-store performance and CD signing at Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles, CA:

Go for it.'” And so, Chenoweth did!
