Us magazine reported that Australian stunner Jessica Hart was approached by WWD magazine at an after-party to share her opinion of the leggy singer's performance on the catwalk and it was not pretty.</p><br /><p>When asked if the 'I Knew You Were Trouble' singer could pull off being a Victoria's Secret Model she bluntly replied, 'No.'</p><br /><p>'I think, you know what, God bless her heart. I think she's great,' the super model continued.</p><br /><p>'But I don't know, to me, she didn't fit. I don't know if I should say that. I think what you find is that for a lot of us, we've been working for 14, 15 years; what it takes to make it here comes from experience and confidence and knowing how to be confident with yourself. I think it comes with age. It's definitely the benchmark of all jobs,' she explained.</p><br /><p>But not all the angels felt the same way.

Almost Human May Feel Similar to Fringe, But It's a Very Different Future

But using the same sound stage isn't the only thing the two Fox shows have in common.</p><br /><p>Like Fringe, Almost Human (Sunday, 8/7c) also comes fromproducers J.J. Abrams and J.H. Wyman and is set in the not too distant future. Police officers are partnered with androids as they tackle cases with futuristic elements that border on the fringe. Sound familiar? But apart from those glaring similarities, Abrams insists that the shows are fundamentally different.</p><br />Almost Human tackles the dangers of robots in the future<br /><p>'The Venn diagram of these two [shows] might be that they're pushing the edge of technology and what might be possible in that regard,' he says. '[ Almost Human is] much more of a cop show that you might feel is familiar with a huge wrench thrown into that. It feels very distinct and different from the world of Fringe, which, at its core was a much more serialized show about this dysfunctional father-son [relationship] and romance that went over not just years, but different worlds. This is a show that doesn't quite get into that level of serialized storytelling.'</p><br /><p>On the series, Detective John Kennex ( Karl Urban) wakes from a two-year coma after an incident that claimed the lives of several officers, making him a pariah upon his return to the precinct. Making his transition more difficult is the mandate that officers now must ride with an android. Kennex quickly dispatches his robo-partner because '[he] has always been a little bit reserved when it comes to relying on technology to do a man's job,' Urban explains. As a replacement, he gets a defunct and flawed model named Dorian ( Michael Ealy) that exhibits compassion - something Kennex will not be happy about. Urban notes, 'The wonderful thing about the partnership with Dorian is that it engineers somewhat of a paradigm shift.'</p><br /><p>Kennex and Dorian's partnership highlights another big difference the series has from Fringe in the exploitation of and dependence the future has on technology. Where the former series focused on a desperate group trying to hold on to a semblance of family, Almost Human takes a look at those trying to hold on to humanity. ' Almost Human is about finding your place in a world that is rapidly changing,' Wyman says. 'It's about connection in a time when connection in undervalued. It's about the facility of technology to make us forget what it's like to be human in a moment and connect. It's about people trying to hold on to a humanity that is quickly being left behind. It's about people who deeply care about others who are willing to put their lives on the line in order to maintain peace and order in a world where not all the time do they get the proper credit for.'</p><br />Fringe's J.H. Wyman discusses series finale, teases new series Almost Human<br /><p>It's that desperate need to be human that's actually one of Dorian's biggest flaws because he can never achieve that goal. 'It's one of his more charming qualities, but it's also one of his biggest flaws because he's not happy with who he is,' Ealy says. 'Anyone who's not happy with who they are, obviously that can create problems.'</p><br /><p>In a way, Kennex can relate, which is why they make the perfect partners, even if they don't know it just yet. Following the incident - caused by a mysterious organization called Insyndicate - Kennex has been struggling to find his own way back to normalcy. 'This guy is coming out of a coma and he's been out for two years,' Urban says. 'In that regard, he's kind of like a dinosaur. He's waking to a world that's quite different. It's recognizable, but it's different even in two years. Not only is he trying to find his place in the society, he's also trying to deal with the baggage of the past.'</p><br /><p>The mostly case-of-the-week show will evolve into that of a buddy cop drama, of sorts, once Kennex does finally let himself trust Dorian. Both Ealy and Urban liken their characters' relationship evolution to the one in Midnight Run. 'That's a really good touchstone for the ballpark we want to be in,' Urban says. 'Two characters thrown into a situation that neither of them want to be in. Well, Dorian wants to be in this situation, but Kennex doesn't. Through the course of them spending time, there develops a bond and a friendship and the respect. But they're still getting under each other's skin.'</p><br /><p>But Almost Human will have some serialized aspects, namely in Insyndicate, the aforementioned organization that will cause Kennex and the police department much strife. 'There are many groups that are actually taking advantage of the fact that the [technology] genie is out of the bottle and taking advantage of the fact that they can make money in new ways and they can use people in new ways and they can destroy the world because they want to see it burned in new ways,' Wyman says. 'Insyndicate is one of these many faces that are terrifying.'</p><br /><p>Almost Human debuts with a two-night event starting Sunday at 8/7c on Fox.</p><br /><p>Will you tune in for Almost Human?</p><br /></div>

Terrence Howard Accuses Robert Downey Jr. of 'Iron Man' Sabotage

Someone asked original Rhodey <strong>Terrence Howard</strong> that very question during his appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live last night, and he responded with an answer that he said was 'going to get me into a lot of trouble.'</p><br /><p>'It turns out that the person that I helped become Iron Man, when it was time to [...] re-up for the second one took the money that was supposed to go to me and pushed me out,' Howard said. 'We did a three-picture deal. So that means, you did the deal ahead of time. It was going to be a certain amount for the first one, a certain amount for the second, certain amount for the third.</p><br /><strong>STORY: Marvel's Kevin Feige Avoids 'Iron Man' Drama in Twitter Chat</strong><br /><p>He continued, 'They came to me [for] the second and said, 'We will pay you one-eighth of what we contractually had for you, because we think the second one will be successful with or without you.' And I called my friend that I helped get the first job, and he didn't call me back for three months.'</p><br /><p>This isn't the first time Howard has complained about his dismissal from the franchise; in an interview earlier this year, he described his replacement in Iron Man 2 as 'killing my career.'</p><br /><p>Amid groans from the audience, Howard was asked how his relationship was with <strong>Robert Downey Jr.</strong> now.

FXX Lands 'The Simpsons' in Record Off

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><img src="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/thumbnail_570x321/2012/10/simpsons_a.jpg" width="600"/> </p><br /><p>Following a multiple network bidding war, FXX has become the exclusive cable home for The Simpsons.</p><br /><p>The upstart network has secured cable, VOD and non-linear rights to the longest-running comedy series in history, the network announced Friday. As part of the pact -- said to be the biggest off-network deal ever -- FXX will become the cable destination for all seasons of 20th Century Fox TV's The Simpsons starting in August 2014. The deal covers 24 seasons -- a whopping 530 episodes -- as well as subsequent seasons not in first-run on Fox of the series from Gracie Films Productions and executive producers <strong>James L. Brooks</strong>, <strong>Matt Groening</strong> and <strong>Al Jean</strong>.</p><br /><p>The deal will mark the first time the series will air on cable. When Simpsons first sold into broadcast syndication in the early 1990s, TV stations demanded exclusivity from cable for the run of the series in part because they were hesitant about an animated show's ability to perform in a landscape heavy on live-action repeats. It's not entirely clear what has changed in those broadcast deals to allow the FXX pact to happen.</p><br /><strong>COVER STORY: 'The Simpsons' at 500: Untold Stories</strong><br /><p>FXNOW, FX Networks' forthcoming mobile application for authenticated subscribers, will be the exclusive non-linear home for all seasons of the animated comedy about Springfield's most dysfunctional family. FXX and FXNOW will get subsequent seasons of the series as new ones begin their first run on Fox. The cabler will have access to the current 25th run of the series starting in September 2014 -- when the already announced 26th season makes its debut on Fox.</p><br /><p>'We believe we'll get both reach and frequency from The Simpsons,' FX COO <strong>Chuck Saftler</strong> tells The Hollywood Reporter of the potential gains Simpsons repeats will bring his newly launched network. In fact, for FXX, which bowed in September, the deal comes as the comedy-heavy network with a focus on adults 18-34 continues to add programming. The Simpsons will join a roster of original programming that includes the fourth and final season of Wilfred as well as comedies It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The League. (The network canceled little-watched late-night talk show Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell earlier this week.) He added: 'Frequency tends to come from acquired series, where if you're a fan of that show, you'll come back multiple times. It's a way to create sampling for original programming to other programming we'll have on FXX. I couldn't think of a deeper, richer, broader way to create awareness, sampling and breadth for FXX.'</p><br /><p>Details on how frequently FXX will air The Simpsons have not yet been announced, but Saftler says more information about how the show will be deployed on FXNOW will be unveiled during a Dec. 3 news conference in New York. 'Getting the non-linear rights is unprecedented. To be able to strategically offer The Simpsons both linearly and non-linearly helps us future-proof this deal, it helps us be able to acknowledge how viewers want programming today and to build our brand both linear and non-linearly,' he continues. 'It's an unprecedented right and the all-in on the deal was a very high price tag. We bought considerable rights and we basically created some new paradigms out of this.'</p><br /><strong>PHOTOS: Meet the Cast of 'The Simpsons'</strong><br /><p>The deal comes four months after news leaked that studio 20th Century Fox TV would be shopping the off-network syndication rights to The Simpsons. At the time, News Corp.-owned FX and FXX -- as well as Turner-owned TBS, Viacom's Comedy Central, TV Land, Nick at Nite and Spike were all expected to be among the suitors. The series was expected to fetch as much as $1.5 million per half-hour, generating an additional $1 billion or so to the show's already lucrative business -- which includes toys, video games, apparel and more. (At one point in 2011, News Corp.'s <strong>Chase Carey</strong> said the company was mulling an entire channel devoted to nothing but The Simpsons as it looked to create additional revenue streams for the show.)</p><br /><p>Financial terms of the FXX and FXNOW deal were not immediately available, though the network is billing the The Simpsons pact as the 'biggest off-network deal in TV history.' A per-episode rate on the deal may be more challenging to estimate considering the pact includes future seasons of the series on top of its non-linear rights.</p><br /><p>'There will never be another deal of this size because I don't think there will be another property that will achieve this many episodes,' warns Saftler, who negotiated the deal for FXX and FX Networks along with <strong>Chris Antola,</strong> senior vp strategic programming at FX Networks. 'When I started at FX 20 years ago, The Simpsons was on my hit list as a show that was targeted that would be perfect for FX. It took 20 years of patience to get a deal done for it, but 20 years later, I got a deal done for it.'</p><br /><p>In a joint statement, 20 ^th Century Fox TV Chairmen <strong>Dana Walden</strong> and <strong>Gary Newman</strong> stressed the significance of the show as well as the deal: 'The Simpsons long ago crossed over from 'brilliant award-winning comedy series' to 'full-fledged cultural phenomenon,' and this landmark deal is a testament to its enduring power and relevance.'</p><br />E-mail: Lesley.Goldberg@THR.com</div>

I don't give a f**k what you did.'</p><br /><p>Wahlberg was speaking at the AFI Fest in L.A., when someone asked a question about the rigorous training for his movie, <strong>'Lone Survivo</strong>r.'

When the opposing lawyer says, 'Now your counsel has publicly equated your absence from Suri for these extended periods of time as being analogous to someone fighting in Afghanistan,' Cruise does not react -- he certainly doesn't make the question look like a joke.</p><br /><p>In fact, when Cruise responds, 'I didn't hear the Afghanistan, but that's what it feels like and certainly on this last movie it was brutal, it was brutal,' he doesn't make it look like it's an obvious joke. It seems more like a macho answer.</p><br /><p>But then, the opposing lawyer crystallizes the point and says, 'Do you believe the situations are the same?' You can see a light bulb go off in Cruise's head, and he realizes where the lawyer is going, and he snaps, 'Oh come on.' At this point Cruise is disavowing any comparison.</p><br /><img src="http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/08/09/update-bar.jpg" width="600"/><br /><p>2:04 PDT: Wahlberg's rep tells TMZ, Mark loves Tom and was in no way referencing him in his comments.</p><br /><img src="http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/11/13/1113-mark-wahlberg-afi-footer-2.jpg" width="600"/></div>
