If you watched the season three premiere of Bravo's The Rachel Zoe Project, you would have gotten the impression that Rachel’s styling associate Taylor Jacobson was fired because she stole money or clothes from the company.

Did it or didn’t it happen? Taylor opened up to EW about the mess.

“I did not see the first episode,” Taylor admits. “But I did hear all about it, from multiple people. Honestly, wow. High school, way too high school… From what I understand, it was a whole s— talking campaign. There are always two sides to a story. Whatever happened happened between closed doors and definitely not that way, definitely not the way that it was portrayed.”

As for the accusations of theft, Taylor defended herself, saying, “I am friends with PR people. Why would I steal samples? And I am a 34-D! Does no one look at what is on the runway? I straight up am a 34-D! I have huge boobs and a huge rib cage. I just don't understand. I'm not a sample size at all. Am I really going to take these samples so I can get them for me to wear? It is just so bizarre.”

Sean Penn has spoken out about Wyclef Jean’s intention to run for President of Haiti.

“This is somebody who’s going to receive an enormous amount of support from the United States, and I have to say I’m very suspicious of it, simply because he, as an ambassador at large, has been virtually silent. For those of us in Haiti, he has been a non-presence,” Sean told CNN (via USA Today).

“I’m not accusing Wyclef Jean of being an opportunist; I don’t know the man,” Sean added. “One of the reasons I don’t know very much about Wyclef Jean is that I haven’t seen or heard anything of him in these last six months that I’ve been in Haiti.”

Wyclef responded on The Gayle King Show today, saying, “He hasn’t seen me for six months - I have been going to Haiti for more than five years. When the hurricane toppled Haiti, I was the first one there….if I did not create Yele Haiti to start stopping the violence, even him coming to Haiti would not have been possible today.”

Former One Tree Hill star Chad Michael Murray and his fiancee Kenzie Dalton pick up groceries together at Whole Foods supermarket on Thursday afternoon (August 5) in Los Angeles.

The 28-year-old actor has been busy shooting on his new Lifetime movie, Lies in Plain Sight, co-starring Rosie Perez.

Chad also recently signed onto the ABC Family Original Movie, Ex-Mas Carol, opposite Pretty Little Liars‘ Ashley Benson and new mom Christina Milian.

Inception stud Tom Hardy is quite candid about his past drug usage and family life in the August 2010 issue of Men’s Health UK. Here’s what the 32-year-old British actor had to share:

On being addicted to drugs and booze: "I thought I'd have a little bit of a party, and I'd end up high and frightened, in places that scared me. In a blackout I could end up anywhere. I might wake up somewhere the other side of London, or in another country. Or in bed with someone I didn't know, not knowing how I got there. Bleeding. This was on a daily basis. And I was going to work. I didn't want to appear rock 'n' roll. I didn't want anyone to know I was out of control, but I couldn't hide it. Eventually, the body gives up. My body told me. I was completely kaput. I was lucky I didn't get hepatitis or AIDS."

On his two-year-old son: "Louis arriving was an absolute godsend. Children need things. Not want things. Want and need are two different things I have always mixed up. When Louis came along he was like, 'You can't think about you! I'm here!' It separated a lot of my selfish behavior."

On working hard at his craft: "Take Michael Jordan [for example]. If Michael Jordan goes out onto the court and has a bad game, it's unacceptable. Because he's Michael Jordan. He has to be the best. So Michael Jordan needs to spend more time on the court training or practicing than any of his team mates. Over time, technique wins over natural ability. People who work hard, with constant application, determination and tenacity – although they may not be as interesting, or have as much flair – will win. Overall, they will achieve a goal."

On training for his upcoming film Warrior: "We arrived at the gym at 7am. We'd have breakfast before we got there. Peanut butter on toast. Then we got in the joint, had our protein shakes and a gallon of water. Then stretching, warming up – skipping. Then we'd go into boxing for two hours. Two hours of pad work for elbows and knees, kicks and Muay Thai. Then a couple of hours of Jiu Jitsu. And then choreography. Then we'd do an evening session: a couple of hours in the gym. Variations of weights, hitting a different muscle group every day.”

Tom's trainer, Pnut, has a simple but unorthodox method for bulking fast. "I call my philosophy 'signalling'," he says. "Throughout the day you need to send constant signals to your body, so that it adapts in the direction you point it in. It's better to do 10 press-ups every hour than 100 in a single burst. If you do things often enough, your body adapts for the task you set it, and you evolve." Interesting!

Daniel Craig, as James Bond, takes the cover of this week’s Entertainment Weekly featuring questions swirling around the 007 franchise.

In April, it was announced that the much anticipated Bond 23 was to be delayed indefinitely following financial troubles at MGM, the production company that produces the Bond films.

In the meantime, the studio has been up for sale since November but has had no serious buyers as of yet. With the studio in trouble, it doesn’t look like there will be a new Bond film anytime soon. According to the magazine, the last time an ‘indefinite’ hold like this happened, it took 6 years to bring the franchise back.

Could this be the end of James Bond?
