Bradley Cooper Gets Naked for W! Plus, See the Magazine's Other "Best Performances" Cover Stars

Why hello there, Bradley Co

 

oper.

The Hangover star graces the cover of W magazine's "Best Performances" issue, and we just have to say that this photo might be his best work to date! The 40-year-old hunk strips down for the photo shoot, wearing only white suspenders on the cover. Inside the magazine, however, he takes it all off, opting to hold clothes rather than wear them.

Cooper, whom we've been obsessed with since his Alias days, has shown his acting chops over the past few years, receiving accolades regarding his work in Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle and now American Sniper, in which he plays Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle. He is also receiving some kudos for his work in the Broadway play, The Elephant Man.

Inside the magazine, the Serena actor drapes his all-white ensemble over him, with matching white shoes resting at his feet. What's particularly noticeable—besides his amazing bod—is the tan line he seems to be rocking on his leg! We're not sure what happened there, but we have to wonder how no one seemed to notice it, unless, of course, it's intentional.

W magazine also included several other A-list celebs including Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Shailene Woodley and Emma Stone. But this isn't just your average, run-of-the-mill photo shoot. W got very creative with the photographs, having each star pose in a bizarre manner. Knightley, who is nominated for her work in The Imitation Game, looks almost unrecognizable with her slicked back hair and red flowers.  

Even Cumberbatch's photo makes us feel like we're living in a fun house.

Stephen Fry, 57, Is Engaged to Elliott Spencer, 27

Stephen Fry, 57, Is Engaged to Elliott Spencer, 27

Congratulations are in order for Stephen Fry!

The actor, 57, confirmed his engagement to Elliott Spencer, 27, on Twitter Tuesday. "Oh. It looks as though a certain cat is out of a certain bag," wrote the Hobbit star, just hours afterThe Sun revealed his marriage plans. "I'm very very happy of course but had hopes for a private wedding. Fat chance!"

"Thank you all SO much for your kind congratulations," he added. "Deeply touched...Youradorable tweets are bringing me close to sobbing..."

Fry's personal assistant said, per the BBC: "Stephen Fry is very happy and proud to say that he has set the wheels in motion for a wedding sometime in the future but no date has been set due to a busy work schedule."

The humorist has given formal notice at a registrar office in Norfolk to wed his significantly younger beau. The documents on display state that the nuptials between Fry, who lists his occupation as "actor," and Spencer, who is listed as "writer," will take place in Breckland Business Centre.

The May-December twosome reportedly began dating in 2014. A source told The Sun that Fry, who has been very public about his struggles with depression, has "a new lust for life" with Spencer in his life, adding that the two men "thrive off one another."

Best wishes to these two! Oh, and if you happen to be a reporter in the London area, one of the future grooms is more than happy to help you with a caffeine fix...

Kylie Jenner Is "Not Against" Plastic Surgery, Cried in Her Bedroom When Bruce Jenner and Kris Jenner Separated

Kylie Jenner Is "Not Against" Plastic Surgery, Cried in Her Bedroom When Bruce Jenner and Kris Jenner Separated

Fame is all Kylie Jenner has ever known.

The 17-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star covers Cosmopolitan's February 2015 issue, following in the footsteps of big sisters Khloé Kardashian, Kim

Kardashian andKourtney Kardashian. (Kendall Jenner, meanwhile, has yet to book a cover shoot with the magazine). Surprisingly, Kylie doesn't mince words while discussing her upbringing. "When I was like 10, 11, 12, I had a really hard time with the media. During your adolescence, girls deal with their peers at school, then they go home and they don't have to deal with it [there]. It was a lot more haters to deal with...especially since I was younger and my sisters were so beautiful and had it all together," she explains. "I can have my moments and say that I don't want this life anymore, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. The good is definitely worth the bad."

Having her appearance scrutinized isn't easy. "You guys have watched me grow up since I was 9. My face is going to get different. Now, I know how to do my makeup, contour and everything," says Kylie, who amplifies her lips with makeup. "I'm not against surgery. I'd never say no, but I don't desire it right now."

Kylie enjoys her life in the limelight, though she wishes some moments—like when her parentsBruce Jenner and Kris Jenner announced their separation on-camera—remained private. "I didn't say anything [while the cameras rolled]," she says. "I went in my room and cried right after. If they're happy, I'm happy, I guess."

Regardless, her family has always been supportive of each member. Kylie, who is romantically linked to rapper Tyga, explains, "If a guy does one little thing to me, then you're dealing with like six other girls."

 

Young Jedidiah Duggar Causes Controversy With Gun Picture

They might be some of the most moral people in America, but that doesn't mean the Duggars can't cause some controversy!

The 19 Kids and Counting family created quite the stir after they posted a photo of 16-year-old Jedidiah Duggar holding a shotgun on their Facebook page. Fans of the show were quick to give their opinions regarding the controversial pic, creating a polarizing debate on the social media platform.

Many slammed the Duggars for allowing their young son to own and operate the 12-gauge shotgun. Facebook user Linda Lawless wrote, "Worst present ever. I don't care how much gun safety they teach their kids. All it takes is one time of not locking it up properly for one of the dozens of curious young kids in that house to get a hold of it and have an accident.

"Why take that chance? Don't understand why a Christian family who values life would want to own devices that were specifically designed to destroy it."

Helen Riley kept it short, but wrote that there was so much more to say about the pic than what she posted.

"I could go on for quite a while of why this is soooo wrong," she wrote.

User Phillip Pessar also posted, "This is so disgusting. This shows what is wrong with America nowadays."

However, there were fans who defended the family's decision to allow their son to have the weapon.

"Guns are for survival and protection. It is our God given right to bare arms," Kelly Woodrow James posted. "There is nothing wrong with giving a child a gun as long as the responsibility of owning the gun is taught as well."

Amy Bratton agreed, writing, "Parents who are responsible teach their children gun safety for a reason. To be the next generation of responsible gun owners. This is a great gift for a young man (or woman) who knows safety and can shoot."

The Duggars are no strangers to debate. A Change.org petition urging TLC to cancel the showreceived so many signatures (more than 185,000!) that Jim Bob Duggar responded. He defended his family's show, of course.

"They won't succeed," he shared at the Booster Banquet at Hannibal-LaGrange University. "Our show is the No. 1 show on TLC. It's a small group creating this fuss. All it has done is give us more exposure." 

 

Nicholas Sparks and Wife Separate After 25 Years

Nicholas Sparks is starting a new chapter.

The author announced Tuesday that he is ending his 25-year marriage. "Cathy and I have separated," he tells E! News in a statement. "This is, of course, not a decision we've made lightly. We remain close friends with deep respect for each other and love for our children. For our children's sake, we regard this as a private matter." The exes, who wed in 1989, have three sons and twin daughters, ranging in age from 23 to 12.

Nicholas often credited Cathy, a former lending-company account executive, for inspiring his novels. Together, the two created the progressive Epiphany School through the Nicholas Sparks Foundation.

The author—whose other works include Message in Bottle, Nights in Rodanthe, Dear John, The Last Song, The Lucky One, Safe Haven, The Best of Me and The Choice—never claimed to be the best spouse.

"I don't like to give marriage tips," Nicholas told People in 2003. "There are people who are probably much better at marriage than I am—they've lasted a lot longer. I could probably learn from them."

His marriage wasn't all-bad, of course. As the novelist recalled to Southern Living in 2012, "When we got married I couldn't afford a nice wedding ring. After I sold The Notebook the only thing I really wanted to buy was a new ring for my wife. So I did. And then I got down on my knee and said, 'I don't know where life is going to take us from here, but there's no one I'd rather take the journey with than you.'"

Their journey had its speed bumps, and now, Nicholas must embark upon a solo journey. Thankfully, the next few months should keep the best-selling bookworm quite busy. The Longest Ride, adapted from his novel of the same name, arrives in movie theaters Apr. 10. Directed by George Tillman, Jr., the drama stars Alan Alda, Melissa Benoist, Oona Chaplin,Scott Eastwood, Jack Huston and Britt Robertson.

People was the first outlet to report the separation.

 

Allison Williams Admits She Acts "Like a Sociopath" When She Corners Fellow Actresses to Discuss Motherhood

Allison Williams isn't pregnant yet, but she when she is, she'll be ready!

The Girls actress has been engaged to College Humor co-founder Ricky Van Veen since February 2014. Though their wedding is still in the works, Glamour's February 2015 cover girl is already planning ahead. "I have a lot of questions: How do I get to a place in my career where I can go be a mom for a little while, and then come back and be a mom and an actress at the same time?" the 26-year-old TV star wonders.

Who gives her advice? "Every time I find a woman in film, an actress who has kids, I, like a sociopath, corner her and ask, 'How did it work?' Everyone says, 'Don't think so much.' [Jemima Kirke], from Girls, is always saying, 'Just get pregnant! Just have a baby.' And I'm like, 'You are so much cooler than I am.' I love what I do, but I have no doubt that when I start my family, that's life. This is my job, but that's life."

For now, Williams focused on playing Marnie on HBO's Girls, which returns for its fourth season Sunday. She'll star in the series for "as long as they'll have me," she says. "I would never ever get sick of playing her, because there is no sense of 'Oh, I've done that already.' It's all new—new scenarios, new feelings."

Williams has guest-starred on FOX's The Mindy Project and played the titular role in NBC'sPeter Pan Live!, but she has yet to appear in a movie. Of course, that's also on her to-do list. "The number of scripts that take my breath away are few and far between," she explains toGlamour. "There are some that are gorgeous, but I want to play all the male roles in them. I always ask, and I'm always told no."

Finding the right roles—on TV, on film and on stage—is important to the relative newcomer. "I have vague EGOT goals. Who doesn't?" she asks. "I have zero of those so far, so I have a lot of work to do."

Focusing on achieving her career goals has helped Williams to ignore her hater, whose criticisms aren't limited to her acting abilities. What's her biggest gripe? "Being analyzed about my weight drives me crazy. It's easier to say, 'Oh, she must be anorexic and depriving herself,' than it is to say, 'She might have a fast metabolism,'" she says. "I deprive myself nothing. But that's an annoying thing to say, right?"

 

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden "Couldn't Be Happier" to Be Married

After a fast relationship and even faster engagement, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden areofficially husband and wife! The couple wed Monday night at Diaz's Beverly Hills Home in "an intimate ceremony at their home in Los Angeles," their rep confirmed to People.

We heard that about 100 people gathered to celebrate the Good Charlotte rocker and his actress wife's nuptials, which took place inside the house. After the ceremony, people gathered inside a massive white tent in the Sex Tape's star's yard.

"We couldn't be happier to begin our new journey together surrounded by our closest family and friends," the couple told the magazine.

Madden, 35, popped the question to Diaz, 42, just days before Christmas, so it looks like they wanted to start the New Year off with a bang! We heard about the ceremony only hours before it took place, so secrecy was definitely their M.O. A source told E! News that Madden's sister-in-law, Nicole Richie, and Diaz's BFF, Drew Barrymore, served as bridesmaids.

Gwyneth Paltrow and producer Jeffrey Katzenberg were also among the guests spotted arriving, which also included Barrymore's husband Will Kopelman. He arrived separately from his wife because she was probably getting ready for the ceremony!

The pair celebrated their rehearsal dinner over the weekend at Diaz's pad as well.

If Diaz's wedding comes as a surprise, you're not alone. The Charlie's Angels actress has put down lifelong monogamy before, previously telling InStyle that people tend to "chase" marriage.

"A lot of people chase after it because they've been told, ‘This equals happiness.' They chase it, they get it, and they find out, ‘Why did I think this was going to make me happy? I'm miserable!'" she shared, adding: "I don't know if anyone is really naturally monogamous. We all have the same instincts as animals. But we live in a society where it's been ingrained in us to do these things."

Apparently it only takes one to change her mind! Despite having dated Justin Timberlake, Alex Rodriguez and Jared Leto, the star seems to have found The One in Madden.

Congratulations again to the happy couple!

Spoiler Chat: Outlander, Revenge, Pretty Little Liars and More!

Spoiler Chat: Outlander, Revenge, Pretty Little Liars and More!

Welcome to 2015 TV! All the shows you love are finally set to return, and we have scoop on what's ahead. Read on and Gird. Your. Loins.

MannyH: Outlander scoop! Saw on Twitter you got the first episodes back. Spill, spill!LOVED THEM. HARD. All you need to know: The first episode back is gut-wrenching, uncomfortable/offensive and then basically straight-up porn. The second episode back is slower-paced and odd, but an amazing set up for the third episode back, which is STRAIGHT UP BANANAS. I didn't breathe from about half-way through the episode to the end of it. Major game-changers galore and something that fans who didn't read the books wouldn't think would happen so soon.

lovinghalexo: Anything on Ezria from PLL please!!
Aria better watch out because a new woman in Rosewood may her her eye on Ezra at his surprising new job. "The Brew has been sold and it's the New Brew now and the owner is Ezra Fitz," Marlene King spills. "He hires someone to come and cook for him and she might be a bit of a troublemaker." Want more scoop on Ezria and the rest of PLL's couples? Check back with us for more scoop later!

Gabby: So glad Revenge is back from its break! Got any scoop on the craziness ahead? Loving Louise? Good, because the show has just promoted Elena Satine to a series regular! And yes, you can expect to see her somewhat separated storyline intertwine with some of the Hampton's other main players, namely Emily, very soon. "Right now, they seem to be on two separate tracks, but our goal is to get them altogether, so Emily will eventually cross into Louise's world," showrunner Sunil Nayar teases. And he describes the duo's dynamic as "fun" and says to expect a bit of a return of "the parties and the snark" after the darkness that was Daniel's death. 

Matt: I need Gotham scoop, stat.You're in luck! We hear that the Fox comic book drama is currently casting the role of Reginald "Reggie" Payne, a late 40s-early 50s Brit who is rough around the edges. Reggie is Alfred's army buddy from the war, and while he was once a fit, handsome man, he's unfortunately let himself go, and time hasn't been kind on him at all. A scruffy beard, bloodshot eyes and raggedy clothes hide who he once was. Other new faces heading to Gotham? Dr. Dulmacher, aka The Dollmaker, a handsome, creepy, mad doctor; Gus Floyd, a young misfit who takes leadership of the bank robbers known as the Red Hood Gang who gains energy and confidence while robbing a bank; and Clyde Destro, a portly, serious man in his late 30s to mid 50s who is a member of the Red Hood Gang.

Tara: Anything on Nashville?!If you hated Luke as much as we did, prepare to feel extremely validated in your hatred since he takes his canceled nuptials as well as a temper-tantrum-throwing toddler. Seriously, Rayna dodged quite the bullet by not marrying this immature brat! Also, the ABC southern soap is currently casting the role of late 20s-early 30s Kevin Shay, who is an openly gay singer-songwriter and is one of the most successful in Nashville, having written for some of the biggest country artists in the industry. Described as handsome, tough, and a man's man, it sure sounds like Kevin might be paving the way for Will to finally come out! natcfc: The Mindy Project, please!

In tonight's episode, Danny ends up getting a little close to someone who is definitely not Mindy. BUT before you riot, he does NOT cheat on her. Alas, there is something you will definitely hold against him after watching the episode: He doesn't know who Taylor Swift is. Cue gasps!

Trudy: Please tell me Kate Gosselin is going home soon onCelebrity Apprentice!Wish I could! But from what we hear, she's sticking around way longer than  you'd expect. After raising precisely zero dollars and managing to not get fired, things only get more interesting. "Wait until you see what Kate has in store," advisor Ivanka Trump tells us. "She definitely has a lot of passion and she's got a lot of fire in her belly. You'll be seeing a lot more of Kate through the season."

‏@teenie113: I need to know anything and everything about #HartofDixie! #SpoilerChatGeorge and Lavon have made it pretty clear that they're both vying for the heart of one Lemon Breeland…but she has no idea her two former flames are into her again! Expect that to change very, very soon. "Lemon finds out everything about how George and Lavon feel in episode 3," executive producer Leila Gerstein says. "By the end of that episode, we will know where Lemon's heart lies."

Gia: I am LOVING Julian Morris as Ryan on New Girl! Got any scoop on him and Jess?Oh, you love him now? Just wait until tonight, in which he gets wine-drunk...which leads to him getting wine-horny. But it gets even better as he eventually dons an ensemble that would earn him entry into a 2015 version of the Village People, complete with a New York accent. Can we keep him forever?! 

@SadeeqaK What's next for Hayley & Elijah after that insanely sexy hookup? #spoilerchatExpect some distance between The Originals fan-favorite couple as Hayley and Jackson are about to get closer than ever before. Also: better start preparing yourselves now, because we hear that one Original sibling is not long for this world…and his/her death will be at the hands of another Original sibling!

Bradley Cooper Celebrates His 40th Birthday by Playing Air Guitar With Jimmy Fallon and Rocking an Afro—Watch!

 Bradley Cooper Celebrates His 40th Birthday by Playing Air Guitar With Jimmy Fallon and Rocking an Afro—Watch!

Bradley Cooper is still young at heart.

The American Sniper actor celebrated his 40th birthday Monday by making an appearance on NBC's The Tonight Show. Host Jimmy Fallon's boyish charm rubbed off on his guest, as the Producers Guild Award nominee received a unique present: an afro wig. "This is amazing," Cooper said. "This is another level."

With matching wigs affixed atop their heads, Fallon mentioned that Cooper "has a little musical talent." The actor replied, "I'm glad you said that because it's very little." What did he mean? "I play air guitar," he said. "When I was a kid I had a lot of time on my hands and there's this one song by Neil Young. I don't know if everybody knows this, and I'm sort of proud that I know it. It's just the guitar solo from 'Down by the River'...To air guitar to it is so meaningless...but I'd love to give you a little taste. It's long!"

Cooper, who currently stars in The Elephant Man on Broadway, then showed off his skills.

The air guitar was "long," but it was worth it—watch the video now to see for yourself!
