The Goop founder just completed a two-week tour around France and Spain that included some work — speaking on a panel in Cannes — and some play — chilling on a yacht with ex-husband Chris Martin. To most, the jaunt looks like a dream trip, but the Los Angeles–based mom of two revealed in an Instagram post on Sunday, it was actually a personal challenge for the self-described homebody.

Today's the big day: Kylie Jenner is officially 19 years old (and she's celebrating accordingly).
But she wasn't always the Lip Kit queen and social media superstar that she is today (although, we must note, she was always cooler than the rest of us mere mortals, even as a small child). So, in honor of her birthday, we're looking back at the evolution of the youngest member of the KarJenner family (and wearing our most 'gram-able matte lip, but of course).
2007 & 2008Long before Kylie taught us all the proper way to pose for an #Ootd picture, she was looking fierce alongside sisters Kim and Kendall.

There is nothing like a good old fashioned gangster flick. They get the blood-boiling and stakes rising. Throw in a little betrayal and a couple of bad attitudes and you’ve got yourself a great way to spend Saturday night in. Since one movie isn’t enough to justify a dinner of cold beers and salty chips, here are two outstanding movies with riveting stories flawlessly connected even after a 12 year gap. Friend (2001) and Friend 2 (2013) are both tough as nails with just enough humanism to break through to the coldest heart.
The original story starts off in earlier times reminiscing on simpler days. It was a time when four young friends meant the world to one another and all they cared about was hanging out together. Though as expected, life happened as they matured into men following their own paths, paths which were destined to crisscross. It’s at that...

Amazing Race 23 eliminated Tim Wiyninger & Danny Merkey in episode 6 tonight. Tonight's show ,kicked off with the teams, learning they had to take a train to Vienna,Austria to retrieve their first clue for this leg of the race. Once they got it, they immediately ran into their detours: Light Brigade ,or Masquerade. In the Light Brigade detour, the teams had to assemble a chandelier to get their next clue. In the Masquerade detour, they had to match up masks with other couples at some dance shindig to get their next clue. Jason & Amy decided to try to go for the "Fast Forward" challenge, which entailed doing a 500 feet bungee jump. If they won it, the Fast Forward would allow them to skip all the challenges and go straight to the pit stop. Unfortunately, they were told by the bungee jump guy that it was too windy to safely perform it.

The project, which initially started out as a fun venture for the couple, who welcomed their first child together in June, now spells problems for them, reports radaronline.com.

Curious Film director Ash Boland was behind the camera for a short film for the MTV Exit Foundation to raise awareness of human trafficking and child exploitation.
The film, which backs charity groups Usaid, Ausaid and Walk Free, is to air globally.
The project launched this week with the premiere of a video, ‘This Song Saved My Life’ by Canadian rock band Simple Plan, who crowd-sourced the lyrics from fans on Twitter.
The video was shot over three days on location behind the Curious Sydney office in Surry Hills.
“It was always a big ask to shoot kids, action, guns and make it look and feel like Asia,” said Curious Films producer Tara Riddell. “It was very important to Ash that we make it look “real”, which I truly believe we achieved.”

When asked by Empire if there will be a Taken 3, Liam Neeson answered, "I don't see it. I don't think it's going to happen. I really don't. I can't see a possible scenario where audiences wouldn't go, 'Oh, come on! She's taken again?" Fast forward two weeks and over $50 million later and Hollywood.com asks Taken 2 screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen the same question and he answered, "We didn't start talking about Taken 3 until we saw the numbers. But then we said, 'Oh, okay. I think we should do a third one.' And Fox wants us to do a third one." Since the release of the second, and truly awful, film there have been jokes online about what a third would be about. My favorite was someone saying something along the lines of, "The third one will just be a black screen with the words 'You the audience have now been Taken.

It looks like Kim's litte sister is raiding her closet -- but who do you think wore the sexy dress better? Vote! What comes around goes around -- especially if you're a Kardashian or a Jenner! Back in 2009, Kim Kardashian wowed in a sexy white plunging Altuzarra dress, putting her curves on full display when she stepped out for the Hollywood Style Awards -- but that wasn't the last time we saw this dress in the spotlight! Fast forward to 2012, where Kim's 15-year-old sister Kylie Jenner tweeted a pic from a recent photo shoot where she was wearing the same exact dress -- but while it hugged Kim's infamous assets, it fell rather flat on the teen, looking a bit too sophisticated and sexy. There's no denying the fact that the aspiring model can definitely play the part -- but perhaps next time she shouldn't raid Kim's closet!

Screen Australia usually insists that a traditional theatrical international sales agent is attached to the features in which it invests but it did not for Kath & Kimderella. Instead, sales are being handled by Royalty & Distribution Services, an existing company associated with the producers.
.Was there lots of discussion? Absolutely. But did we prove our case? Absolutely.. So says producer Rick McKenna about the negotiations with Screen Australia.
He argues that if the usual international film sales path had been followed, Kath & Kimderella would have been promoted at .two possibly three. markets, before the sales agent moved on to the next new thing. This way, the title will be exploited much more thoroughly by people closely involved in its production. He says he has encountered a lot of interest in the film and a lot of awareness of the brand, but ultimately everyone says the same thing: .We love you like...

Kanye West has taught Kim Kardashian to slow down. The reality TV star has been dating the rapper for around six months and Kim admits before she started her relationship with him she was living life too fast so didn't have time to appreciate things. She said: 'I've slowed down a little bit and for the better. It was a good lesson learned. I now make it a priority to take time out for myself and have private vacations.' Kim - who is currently divorcing basketball player Kris Humphries - also said she's learnt from her mistakes in the past but has never been put off finding love. She told Australian TV show 'The Project': 'To be in a happy,...

Australian comedy Kath & Kimderella has posted $1.99 million in its opening weekend at cinemas.
The film, based on the popular TV series characters created by Jane Turner and Gina Riley, was shown across 285 screens, giving it a solid screen average of $7013. Including previews, the Roadshow-distributed film has grossed $2.19 million in total.
While the four television series (and telemovie) had a widespread and faithful television audience, the film has largely attracted a vitriolic response from critics. Kath & Kimderella follows the adventures of Kath (Turner), Kim (Riley) and friend Sharon (Magda Szubanski) on a trip to Italy.
Another local comedy, The Sapphires, added another $919,001 to its box office tally, which now stands at $10.95 million. After five weeks, the film is still being shown widely, on 276 screens, although its screen average has now fallen to $3330.

Community is the most ambitious show on television. One week there will be an episode that’s a reference to My Dinner with Andre, the next will be entirely in stop-motion dealing with a character’s seemingly psychotic breakdown. Last season featured an episode called Digital Estate Planning, in which Pierce Hawthorne (Chevy Chase) played a video game programmed by his late father in order to win his inheritance. Shortly after the episode aired, Reddit user Derferman began work on turning Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne into a real game.
The project took off, making headlines across the web. But at the time the game was only two levels and took about a minute to play through. After reading Dan Harmon’s Ama (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit and seeing someone mention the progress of the game, I went to see how it was doing. To my surprise, after...

Southern Star’s high quality retelling of Kerry Packer’s creation of World Series Cricket stormed to ratings of 2.097m on Sunday night.
Howzat! Kerry Packer’s War – telling how the late Nine owner shook up the sporting establishment – was the most watched show of Sunday by a long way, according to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam.

Ten’s series final of MasterChef All Stars rated 1.05m for the winner announcement, while the rest of the show averaged 802,000.
However, there now seems to be little hope for Ten’s Everybody Dance Now after the first shortened, reworked episode of the dance contest rated just 385,000.
Seven’s reworking of old Kath & Kim episodes as The Souvenir Editions rated 909,000.

And so it begins: CBS has made the first network pilot commitment for TV's 2013-14 season, ordering the half-hour comedy Ex-Men. The project, from writer Rob Greenberg (Frasier) and producers Eric and Kim Tannenbum, focuses on a young dude who makes new friends with the older, more experienced gents living in his short-term apartment complex. What's unusual about the project — other than the fact that CBS snatched it up so early during TV's so-called development season — is that the show will be shot single-camera style, without the studio audience of which CBS is so fond. No word yet on casting for the potential show.

With the release of a second teaser trailer of Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" this morning, we got another look at one of the most anticipated films of the year. And with the picture already slated for an October 13th release, for some traveling film critics and fans, and those prepared to head to Italy, the Venice Film Festival could be where the film makes its world premiere, with artistic director Alberto Barbera suggesting a few weeks back that Anderson was heading to the Lido for the fest, which kicks off on August 29th.

War of the Arrows
Directed by Han-min Kim
Written by Ham-min Kim
2011, South Korea
Director Han-min Kim’s film The War of the Arrows is something of a rarity in the international image of Korean cinema as its focus lies on the second Manchurian invasion of Korea, the Joseon Kingdom in particular. In layman’s terms, the War of the Arrows is about the second Chinese invasion of Korea.
Personalizing history by focusing on the children of a Korean traitor, we follow Nam Yi (Hae-Il Park, The Host) and Ja-In (Chae Won-Moon). Receiving a family bow and a message for the elder brother to look after his younger sister as he would a daughter, they both barely escape certain execution in Seoul. Fast forward 13 years and Ja-In is getting married despite her older brother doing everything he can to prevent it. As the wedding nears, Nam Yi wanders off and...

In a show of solidarity for her sister Kim, Khloe Kardashian has renounced her support for the animal rights group PETA following last Thursday's flour bombing by a supposed member of the anti-fur foundation.
Is Khloe Really a Kardashian?
Airing her frustration with the organization's actions, Khloe chided the group for their "bully"-like behavior in a message recently posted to her website.
"I'm sure you all heard what happened to Kim last week," Khloe wrote to her blog. "I just received word that the woman responsible has very close ties to PETA, despite PETA publicly stating otherwise. Not only has PETA lied to the public, but they have proved that they support this kind of behavior."

“Uglier Than a Mud Rail Fence”
Airs Sundays at 8pm (Et) on CBS
There’s no simple formula to determine which teams will dominate The Amazing Race. It takes a certain level of physical strength to handle the challenges, but plenty of superior athletes have failed in early legs. There are also countless examples from past seasons of older and less agile contestants who’ve thrived. Arguably the most dominant team not to win is Season Five’s Colin and Christie, who won six legs but ultimately finished second. They seemed destined to take the top prize, but were passed near the end by Chip and Kim, a couple in their 40s who barely avoided elimination in the first three episodes. There’s so much luck involved in this contest that very few teams can avoid major problems.

“Quick” is a Korean blockbuster in the Hollywood mould, which as its title suggests packs in plenty of high speed action, with a motorcycle courier getting caught up in a mad bomber’s crusade of destruction. The film was directed by Jo Beom Gu (“Three Fellas”) and produced by Yoon Je Kyun (“Haeundae”), and stars Lee Min Ki in the lead as the unfortunate man on the bike, with Kang Hye Won (with whom he co-starred with in “Haeundae”) as his love interest and support from Kim In Kwon (“Fate”), Ko Chang Seok (“The Front Line”) and Yoon Je Moon (“Battlefield Heroes”). The film kicks off with Lee Min Ki as Ki Soo, a street motorbike champ whose latest race and spat with then girlfriend Chun Shim (Kang Hye Won) causes a huge pile up.

Happy Birthday Kim Kardashian. It's been quite a year!
This time last year the reality star was turning the big 3-0, and she and her outrageous family had plenty fame and fortune, millions of Twitter followers and the ever-growing Kardashian empire we've all grown to know and love, or know at least, but she didn't have the one thing she'd hoped for -- a husband.
Fast forward 365 days and the brunette beauty has a clothing line, perfume, a second hit reality show, "Kourtney & Kim Take New York" and quite possibly the biggest life change to date -- her 6'9" husband, Kris Humphries. The pair married in a lavish black and white ceremony in August, where Kim had three dress changes and hundreds of guests in attendance for the nuptials between her and her prince charming. The highly anticipated fairytale wedding special, which aired in two parts on E! in early October,...
