SELMA, the film that chronicles Dr. Martin Luther King leading an epic march from Selma to Montgomery to campaign for equal voting rights, has received universal acclaim. Those closest to Lyndon B. Johnson may have been left uninspired, however, because they feel the film unfairly casts the former president as the antagonist when they believed he was MLK's ally. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, LBJ Library director Mark Updegrove alleges director Ava Duvernay may have fueled current racial tensions even more with her interpretation of LBJ. He said, "When racial tension is so high, it does no good to suggest that the president of the U.S. himself stood in the way of progress a half-century ago. It flies in the face of history." Classy. Most notably, LBJ's former aide Joseph A. Califano Jr. dedicated an op-ed in The Washington Post to the film, calling for a boycott of it during Christmas (see it in Jan. 9, when it opens wide!) while crediting the LBJ for coming up with the march:

In fact, Selma was LBJ’s idea, he considered the Voting Rights Act his greatest legislative achievement, he viewed King as an essential partner in getting it enacted — and he didn’t use the FBI to disparage him.

Director Ava Duvernay responds (via Twitter):

I can argue, @HitFixGregory. Notion that Selma was LBJ's idea is jaw dropping and offensive to SNCC, SCLC and black citizens who made it so.

More detail here. LBJ's stall on voting in favor of War on Poverty isn't fantasy made up for a film. “@donnabrazile: http://t.co/dT4Mp4Em5j.

Bottom line is folks should interrogate history. Don't take my word for it or LBJ rep's word for it. Let it come alive for yourself. #Selma

A 19 year-old Angelina Jolie promoted her first major leading role in 'Hackers' in a series of racy and sultry photos during a shoot with famed photographer Marcel Indik. Her sultry, sexy image back then helped catapult her into a major movie star, led her to be a global name and eventually winning an Oscar for her work in 'Girl, Interrupted.'

With provocative and sexy poses, Angie is truly a natural model in front of the camera.

Meghan Trainor did! Meghan Trainor's second smash single Lips Are Movin was released exclusively at Best Buy today. If you purchase the $2 single, you'll also get a coupon which lets you take $2 off your purchase of her album Title. This is a smart move for Meghan, as it will most certainly guarantee that both her current single and debut album will be #1!

Stella Nox Fleuret hasn't made an appearance in Final Fantasy XV trailers since 2013 - instead, focus has shifted to a new female character, Luna, and fans have wondered why?

At Comic Fiesta in Malaysia, a fan asked lead game designer Wan Hazmer whether or not Stella is still in Final Fantasy XV. According to Nova Crystallis:

Hazmer apparently laughed, with a shake of his head before replying, "No comment."

And there you have it.

Kenny Botting is a young nine-year old fighting a brain tumor and recently had surgery in September. For the past three weeks he has been staying at Christopher's Haven, a place that provides a home away from home for kids with cancer. His favorite superhero is Captain America and Chris Evans, who also helps out the charity Christopher's Haven, drops by at the apartment for a surprise visit. He took pictures with Kenny, as well as give him gifts and autographs and then proceeded to have fun with him by having a tour of the apartment building pillow forts, and to top it all off Kenny lives the dream of many Chris Evans' fans: he ties him to a chair.

“It’s their strength that gives me strength. No matter what hurdles are in my life it’s nothing compared to what these families go through, so any way I can bring a smile it’s worth it,” Chris Evans said.

Kenny could not stop smiling. “I am more than happy. I just want to say thank thanks for coming,” Botting said.

The iconic television personality, businesswoman, and Kween of the Kompass is famous for not smiling and resting bitch face in her candids or selfies. However, she also likes to laugh and smile like us lesser human beings. She posted a picture with a friend (see above) on Instagram and captioned it: "See I do smile... even laugh on occasion. Not too often though because it causes wrinkles @shammaurice"

Do you have a resting bitch face, ONTD? Do you still have reasons to smile in pictures? Comment below.

I was inspired by viudanegra's Best Couples/Hook-Ups of 2014 post, so I figured we should have a negative counterpart to all the positivity. The voting is strictly limited to fictional couples and characters (so no, you can't nominate PR-organized irl couples).

The rules are simple:

1. Nominate in the comments and +1 for the couple you're voting for.

2. No duplicate nominations, so please check to make sure that the couple you are nominating hasn't already been posted.

3. One nominee per comment.

4. The nomination/voting period will end tomorrow at NOON EST, so be sure to vote/get your nominations in before then.

ETA: The couples can be non-canon. You can vote for Sterek!

You know the drill.

Feel free to write reasons why you are nominating the couple. Manifestos/gifs are very welcome.

Have fun nominating and voting for literally every couple on HTGAWM!

For the February issue of RED Magazine, Katie Holmes snags the cover and talks about womanhood, social media, and revisiting her teenage years. She also talks about how she doesn't stay stuck on one emotion or feelings for too long.

on her public image and reputation, she said: "I think that it’s a very interesting time for artists right now because of social media and camera phones. I don’t think you ever know how you’ll be portrayed. Any story can attach itself to your image. I don’t pay much attention because I’d spend the whole time worrying. I just don’t go out much to avoid it."

on womanhood, female solidarity, and being inspired by women: "Women are complicated, in a beautiful way, and they have lots of different roles. I’m inspired by the community of women it takes to help one woman succeed. It’s important to be supportive and have people you can call at 3am."

on what would she tell her 20 year-old self: "I'm not so different than I was at 20. I still buy too many jeans… I don't stay stuck on anything too long. I mean, like, any emotion."

Last night HBO aired the Season 2 finale of The Comeback and viewers were surprised when Valerie chose to leave the Emmy's as she rushed to her dear friend Mickey's side in the hospital. Kristin Dos Santos from E! spoke to Lisa after viewing the finale.

Dos Santos: Lisa, I hope you feel very proud. The finale was amazing and I had such an emotional reaction to it. I cried off all my makeup when I watched it.

"Aww, thank you. Me too! I know! And I shot it! The very end, once that music starts. I thought I'm never going to stop crying, I don't know what I'm ever going to do. It was a release."

Dos Santos: There are some subtle and not so subtle messages throughout this season about how Hollywood treats women, and how they are treated as either whores or furniture. Do you think all that has gotten better?

"In TV, definitely. There have always been roles for women in TV. And women who are the leads of shows. Always. In TV."

On the scenes with Kellan Lutz:

"It was so uncomfortable to watch, right?! And how do you not like her for saying, ‘Well, I'm married'?"

Buzzfeed’s stats where primetime broadcast shows for 2014 are concerned:

* Of the 62 main/recurring LGBT characters, 56% were men and 47% were gay white men.
* 16 of the 62 characters (approx. 25%) were POC. IRL, ~33% of LGBT Americans are POC.
* LGBT characters on television skew richer than LGBT Americans IRL.
* Buzzfeed says that there were no transgender characters on broadcast television in 2014. (Isn’t Unique on Glee transgender? idr if she was on any 2014 episodes.)

- She thinks it's just popular fancasting, after coming from her "Full Metal Bitch" role in 'Edge of Tomorrow'. "No one's offered me that officially, so it's very unofficial. I think it's fan-casting, which is always very nice. But nothing official has been offered, for sure. If I get it, thank Meryl for it!"

- She also talked about how she passed on the perfect Marvel roles such as Black Widow and Peggy Carter. "Yeah, but it was never the right time, really, and it just didn't work out scheduling-wise with those two. It's always a difficult thing to talk about, because it's not fair to the actresses who ended up playing them, you know? It just wasn't the right time."

During the making of the video "I Fall" by rock band Precious Child, Nina Burns from America's Next Top Model (cycle 20) fell gravely ill and contracted pneumonia due to swimming in cold water for several hours during the shoot. In the video, Burns artfully portrays the role of a woman bent on self destruction. Unfortunately and ironically, her lungs ended up a little worse for the wear because of the shoot.
