Fred: Neymar should stay in Brazil

Fluminense striker Fred believes compatriot Neymar should remain in Brazil amid the endless speculation linking him with a move abroad.

The 21-year-old is one of the most sought-after talents in world football and has reportedly courted the interest of European giantsBayern Munich and Barcelona, the latter of which is understood to be the front-runner to land the star.

However, the 29-year-old says Neymar should refuse the allure of playing in Europe by staying local in a bid to improve the domestic game.

"We Brazilians have to thank god to have a player like him in Brazil. We have to strengthen the chorus of support to get him to stay here, but in the end he will decide," he told reporters at a press conference in Geneva.

"Brazilian football is at a very high level and it will help the country with the 2014 World Cup if our stars stayed close to home."

Fred is expected to partner the Santos star in attack for Selecao's friendly with Italy on Thursday, which is followed by a clash with Russia five days later.

Selena Gomez on Racy Spring Breakers Role

Selena Gomez felt fearless going into filming for upcoming flick Spring Breakers, she recently told reporters -- especially since her mom was one of her biggest advocates for doing the racy film.

"I wasn't scared. I definitely wanted to do this," she told reporters of deciding to shed her wholesome Disney image. "I thought it would be a great opportunity for me, and Harmony [Korine, the director] explained the movie perfectly and that's the reason why [I chose to do the film]."

"I didn't really know what I was getting myself into but while we were there, it was incredible to create and to play and it was liberating," she continued at the Saturday, March 16 press junket.

The 20-year-old actress joined a star-studded cast -- including fellow Disney alum Vanessa Hudgens, Pretty Little Liars actress Ashley Benson and Benson's rumored beau James Franco -- to tell the story of four girls who find themselves in jail after robbing restaurant to fund their spring break shenanigans.

But Gomez told E! News that despite any uncertainty she had initially, her mother was always one of her biggest supporters.

"She loves this kind of vibe," she said. "She's super into indie movies and indie directors … I think it was more of her pushing me and being like, you should go for it."

One of the costars' greatest fears going into film, however? Stripping down to nothing but a neon-colored bikini, she said.

"I think it added a sense of vulnerability to the characters too when you see them in jail in that state, and a bikini adds a whole other element because they are girls and they are exposed and they should be cold and that's not really a comfortable setting," she told reporters.

Report: Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough Call It Quits

Things could get awkward the next time Julianne Hough runs into Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet.

The 24-year-old "Safe Haven" star and the host of E!'s awards season coverage and Fox's "American Idol" have split after more than two years together, according to People.

The magazine, which cites multiple unnamed sources, reports that the two are "taking a break and are living apart," and that their busy schedules drove them apart.

However, the two are reportedly in "regular contact and remain friends."

In addition to his other gigs, Seacrest, 38, is also host of a weekday morning radio show and a weekly countdown radio show, and serves as executive producer of TV series such as "Keeping up With the Kardashians." Former "Dancing With the Stars" pro Hough has starred in movies like "Footloose" and "Rock of Ages" since leaving the dance competition show in 2009.

News of the breakup ends what has not been a great week for Hough. Over the weekend, she had$100,00 worth of jewelry that Seacrest had given her stolen from her car while it was parked at a friend's house. Then on Wednesday, the actress underwent a root canal surgery.

Think her luck will change soon?

Trout homers for Angels in win over WSox

 Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and the Los Angeles Angels showed just how potent they can be.

But manager Mike Scioscia knows it's the pitching that will determine how far this ballclub goes.

Trout homered and scored three runs, Howie Kendrick and Pujols each had two hits Thursday and the Angels roughed up John Danksin a 12-4 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Angels left-hander Jason Vargas, who made his third start, allowed two hits and a run in 4 2-3 innings.

''If we pitch we're going to be fine,'' Scioscia said. ''We've got to keep building from this.''

Trout hit his first spring training homer off Chicago starter John Danks, a solo shot that came within a few feet of leaving the stadium.

The AL's Rookie of the Year went 2 for 3 and had two RBIs. Kendrick was 2 for 3 with two runs scored and two RBI. Pujols went 2-for-3 with an RBI.

Trout, who hit 30 homers in 2012, lifted his spring average to .407.

''It's the first time we've seen him in the spring,'' Scioscia said. ''It's safe to say that he's seeing the ball well and he's playing at a high level already.''

Trout missed much of camp a year ago and was called up to the Angels in late April.

Danks is coming off left-shoulder surgery in August. He had his second consecutive rough outing. He allowed seven hits and six earned runs in 3 1-3 innings Thursday after giving up seven hits and three earned runs in 2 1-3 innings against Arizona March 9, his previous start.

White Sox's manager Robin Ventura said that he was not counting out Danks being ready for opening day.

''He's a work in progress,'' Ventura said. ''The good news is that he's not hurting. He didn't have the velocity today.''

The White Sox signed Danks to a 5-year, $65-million contract prior to the 2012 season with the intention he would anchor the rotation after ace Mark Buehrle left through free agency to Miami.

Danks made only nine starts in 2012, going 3-4 with a 5.70 ERA before being shut down.

With the emergence of Chris Sale and the return to health of Jake Peavy, Danks is now slated toward the middle of Chicago's rotation once he gets healthy.

''The results didn't show it, but this was one of my better outings,'' Danks said. ''It's a small start in the right direction. I need to see lineups like this. I'm hoping to see progress each time and I can't do that unless I'm seeing big league hitters.

''We're at the mercy of my shoulder, really,'' he said. ''I'm going to go out and keep doing what I'm doing. Hopefully we'll start to see better results starting with the next time.''

Vargas gave up his run in the third when Blake Tekotte tripled in Tyler Flowers, who reached on a walk. Scioscia lifted Vargas with two out in the fifth after Flowers hit a long double off the wall in center field.

Vargas said he mixed up his pitches more than in his previous outing, when he allowed eight hits and four runs in five innings March 9 vs. Colorado.

''To have the secondary stuff working and to see them swinging and missing is good,'' Vargas said. ''Last time I was leaving (pitches) up and getting hammered.''

Chicago's Dewayne Wise hit his second homer, off Angels' reliever Scott Downs in the sixth.

Gerard Butler Admits to Sleeping With Brandi Glanville: ‘I Didn’t Know She Was Going to F**king Tell People’

 

If there's one thing we know about Brandi Glanville, it's that she's not good at keeping secrets.

After the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star kissed and told last year that she had slept with Gerard Butler (and rated his skills "11 out of 10"), she was publicly embarrassed when he later responded, "Who is Brandi Glanville?" in response to a question about the roll in the hay by a paparazzo.

But now, Butler is clearing up the confusion. During an interview with Howard Stern on Monday morning, the "Olympus Has Fallen" actor explained that he had met Glanville at a beach party and the two "had a little fun" one afternoon … but he never bothered to learn her last name.

Fast forward to January 2012, "I'm walking down the street and this pap … says 'Brandi Glanville says you’re great in bed!'" Butler told Stern. "And you know what I said: 'Who's Brandi Glanville?' because one, I didn’t know her last name," he added laughing, "and two, I didn’t know she was a celebrity and I didn’t know she was going to f**king tell people about it!"

After his gaffe, Butler, 43, admits he felt bad because he insulted the single mother of two when he admitted he had no clue who she was. "Then I worked it out and was like, 'Oh, that's who that is' and I called and said 'I'm not very happy you did that' because there are certain things you keep a little private. 'I'm sorry I said I didn’t know who you were,'" he also recalled telling Glanville "because she was in tears."

Butler also dished on his new girlfriend, model/actress Madalina Ghenea. "I'm in deep-like," he told Stern. "She's amazing."

Older Friends Sharing Time Are Sharing Kisses As Well

DEAR ABBY: I am a semi-retired widow in my 60s. A few months ago I started spending time with a man I work with. We would see each other once or twice a month, strictly as friends. Our "dates" ended with a platonic hug.

About a month ago, a hug turned into an embrace. A week later, the embrace became a passionate kiss. Since then, whenever we get together -- now once or twice a week -- we spend a good portion of our time together "making out." We love the way each other kisses.

The problem is, we're still just friends. There is no desire on the part of either of us to take the relationship up a notch. What do we do? We should not be kissing a friend the way we do, but we can't seem to stop.

We're not hurting anyone. We have tried meeting only in public places, but there is still the goodnight kiss. I never thought I'd need this kind of advice at my age. Must we stop spending time together? -- FLABBERGASTED IN WISCONSIN

DEAR FLABBERGASTED: Not in my opinion. I assume you're both eligible. This is the way relationships develop, and you would be foolish not to see where it leads. As of now, a kiss is still a kiss. Let me hear from you in a month.

DEAR ABBY: I am writing on behalf of hairstylists. We are busy people. Our time is money. We rarely even stop for lunch. Clients who come in talking on their cellphones are a real problem for us because they slow us down.

I have had clients jump up from my chair to answer their cellphone in the middle of a haircut -- hair flying everywhere. I have had to do a haircut around a cellphone, with the client switching the phone from ear to ear! These are not even important calls -- just casual conversations.

The lack of courtesy is ridiculous, and it seems to be getting worse. I would like people who do this to think twice before subjecting their stylist to it. They should put their phones on silent, get their hair cut or colored, and talk on their own time! -- FED UP IN NEBRASKA

DEAR FED UP: You are not helpless. This is happening because you have allowed it. If you can't find the gumption to tell your customers you don't want them using their cellphones while they're in your chair, then post a sign on your mirror that reads "Cellphones Not Allowed."

DEAR ABBY: I am a new bride. I love my husband very much, but I've encountered a problem I don't know how to handle. My husband and I were together for six years before we got married and were engaged for three. We eloped to Las Vegas (it wasn't planned) and had a "proper" celebration with friends and family later.

My husband makes comments that suggest I dragged him and tricked him into marrying me. I know he's only kidding, but it's very hurtful. I don't know how to let him know his comments really hurt my feelings. It makes me feel like he's ashamed of our marriage. -- NEWLYWED IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR NEWLYWED: The squeaky wheel gets the grease. The next time your husband does it, speak up. Explain that his attempts at humor are hurtful, not to mention insulting. Ask him if he regrets marrying you. (If the answer is yes, it's important that you know it now.) Clear communication is the key to a strong marriage, and so is respect for one's partner, which he appears to be lacking.

Danielle Fishel Stuns On Maxim Cover; Did She Date Boy Meets World Co-Star Ben Savage?

The former "Boy Meets World" star (soon-to-be "Girl Meets World" bombshell) graces the cover of Maxim's April issue in lingerie and opened up to the mag about her "BMW" heydays - including whether she and co-star Ben Savage were ever an off-screen item.

"No! That [dating] rumor was entirely my fault because I once said, on 'The Tyra Banks Show,' that Ben and I went on a date, and that turned into 'Danielle and Ben dated,'" she explained. "We went on one date, when I was about 15, and by the time the dinner was over we realized mutually that we were more like family than lovers."

While Ben and Danielle were not a match, the 31-year-old beauty did find her soulmate (she tutored him in math while pursuing her bachelor's degree) and the two got engaged last year.

The actress said the first thing she noticed about her fiancé was a "Mortal Kombat" tattoo he has on his calf - an ode to the popular video game of the '90s.

"I'm not a huge tattoo person, but I loved it," she said, adding that she has two tattoos - both of which she wishes she could remove.

"I would get [them] laser-removed but I'm afraid that they'll look weird," she said. "I have one on the back of my neck, and I have a tramp stamp."

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, if the "Girl Meets World" pilot - which begins 10 years after the events of "Boy Meets World," with Topanga (Danielle) and Cory (Ben Savage) married with kids - is picked up, the series could land on Disney Channel's 2013-14 schedule.
