Stewart

Kristen Stewart showed up at the 85th Academy Awards on Sunday hobbling along on crutches, telling folks on the red carpet only " I'm an idiot " when asked why she was using the orthopedic aids. She posed for pics on the carpet unassisted, however, and similarly hopped along with Daniel Radcliffe to present the production design Oscar to "Lincoln," but was photographed using the crutches again as she left the ceremony. Her makeup artist, Beau Nelson, had more of the story for People . Kristen "cut the ball of her foot, quite severely, on glass two days ago," he said.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- One moment the three Joe Gibbs Racing drivers were leading NASCAR's Daytona 500. The next moment two of them were out of the race. Defending Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth led a race-high 86 laps and, at one point, teammates Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch were running second and third behind him. But Kenseth's No. 20 Toyota suddenly began smoking, forcing him to the garage. A few laps later, the same thing happened to Busch's No. 18 Toyota. "I'm not sure if it's an engine or a transmission," Kenseth said.

“The Daily Show” has had a lot of fun with regional peculiarities this week. On Wednesday, Jon Stewart had a good laugh at the expense of the Russian people and their blasé attitude about seemingly everything -- including giant flaming space rocks.    Last night, he targeted a place closer to home: Mississippi. Stewart began by noting how some states have reputations that are hard to overcome. Fair or not, the Magnolia State has never quite been able to shake the legacy of slavery and segregation.

Macy's Inc., the second-largest U.S. department store chain, will go to court in New York on Wednesday to try to persuade a judge to permanently block Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc.'s pact with J.C. Penney Co. Macy's sued Martha Stewart Living in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan in January 2012 to stop it from proceeding with an agreement announced with J.C. Penney the previous month. Macy's claims that it has an exclusive right to sell Martha Stewart-branded products in categories such as bedding and cookware.

Pat Derby could coax Willie the bear with a handful of jelly beans, make Christopher the cougar twitch his tail on command, and even kissed Rijo the tiger. But when it came to Walt Disney, she had less patience. Derby, a Hollywood animal trainer turned animal rights activist, once walked out on him in the middle of filming for "Disney's Wonderful World of Color" after he subjected her bear cub to two hours of retakes under the hot studio lights. She always got along better with animals than people, anyway, she often said.

Hey, Rupert Sanders, it looks as if the rest of your home country (Robert Pattinson excepted) disagrees with you about the sexiness of one Kristen Stewart - at least in a new pre-Oscar poll. Stewart was voted the least sexy Hollywood actress in a poll conducted on behalf of U.K. gadget website MenKind (presumably to lure folks into its selection of Tetris Mood Lights, Zombie Gnomes and Star Wars Jedi Dressing Gowns, items likely to land on a woman's least-sexy list). "Our Oscars poll has been a fascinating insight into the minds of British men," said a spokesperson for MenKind ( via the Independent )

Imagine you're driving to work one day when a blazing meteor streaks across the horizon and explodes into a fireball. You'd be pretty shocked, and might even blurt out an expletive or two, right? That's what most of us, including Jon Stewart, would assume. But apparently that's not the case in Russia, where a 10,000-ton space rock lit up the sky last week , injuring hundreds and releasing as much energy as 30 Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs -- or, as the locals call it, "Friday.

On “The Daily Show” on Thursday, host Jon Stewart grilled United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice about the Obama administration's response to the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last year. He began by asking about the explanation she provided for the attacks during appearances on Sunday political talk shows just days after the incident. “I shared the best information that our intelligence community had at the time, and they provided the talking points that I used.

USC backup forward Ari Stewart suffered a broken left hand in Sunday's 71-60 win over Washington and will miss up to three weeks, according to the university. Stewart, a 6-foot-7 redshirt junior, did not play in the last five games coached by Kevin O'Neill but was becoming a regular part of the rotation under interim coach Bob Cantu. The injury occurred in the second half Sunday when a Husky player tried to steal the ball. Stewart grabbed the hand immediately. Stewart is averaging 3.6 points.

In the last five games Kevin O'Neill coached the USC Trojans men's basketball team, Ari Stewart never left the bench. DNP, DNP, DNP, DNP, DNP says the stat sheet. Did. Not. Play. In those final five games, J.T. Terrell, like Stewart a Wake Forest transfer in his first season as a Trojan, had one DNP and averaged just a smidge above five points per game, just a smidge above one rebound per game and had not a single assist. Since assistant Bob Cantu was promoted to interim Coach after O'Neill was fired Jan. 14, Stewart has averaged five points and almost three rebounds per game.
