Court documents filed yesterday reveal explosive new claims regarding physical attacks Rachael Taylor allegedly suffered during her relationship with Matt Newton. Rachael feared Matt would kill her and she reportedly suffered a “concussion, bruising and a sprained jaw” after an assault at a Rome hotel. She filed for an apprehended violence order yesterday and says she suffered serious injury in three states during the last eight months. Rachael has photographic evidence of her injuries in Rome including “scarring to her top lip, arm and knee” as well as “neck injuries” and “bruising” consistent with having her head “bashed against the floor and walls.” Rachael filed the AVO because she is returning to Australia next month and fears for her safety. The papers are expected to be served directly to Matt in a Sydney psychiatric hospital.
The Venice Film Festival got under way last night starting with a Vogue party celebrating director Quentin Tarantino, where Jessica Alba joined Naomi Campbell, Stephen Dorff and more. She was up early this morning wearing a bold floral print dress to a Machete photocall. Her co-star Lindsay Lohan has to stay in California for the time being, and in an interview with David Letterman that aired Monday, Jessica got visibly uncomfortable when he grilled her on her trouble-prone castmate. Natalie Portman also travelled to Italy for the glamorous festival and was out to start promoting Black Swan today. She wore short purple dress to her photocall before slipping into a dramatic red gown for this evening's premiere. Her boyfriend, Benjamin Millepied, came along on the trip, but the press-shy couple avoided cuddling up on the red carpet for the movie that brought them together.

Blake Lively showed off a big grin—as well as her cleavage—while filming Gossip Girl in New York City yesterday. She walked through her scene with Sam Page, wearing her everyday clothes before changing into her revealing costume, which she kept under a black robe between takes. Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick shared a smile and a joke on set, and Leighton looked chic in her tan dress. Meanwhile Taylor Momsen and Penn Badgley filmed a scene together, and were looking rather more sombre as they rushed down the street. With so many Paris pictures released ahead of the season 4 premiere, and Taylor back on set, are you excited to see new episodes?

There's only one more sleep until Mad Men season four debuts on Movie One! The show's Emmy wins on Monday got us even more excited for the premiere and now here's a fun clip of Mad Men moments and the rules the characters live by. Creator Matthew Weiner steps in for some commentary, as do most of the stars in full costume. Weiner gives a few tidbits of what to expect in season four, but the real reason to watch the video is to see Roger Sterling's funniest quips in one place. Almost makes it seem like a comedy. Watch the video when you keep reading.

If you didn't think Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan made a convincing pair in Cop Out, or if Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg didn't float your boat in The Other Guys, then try this buddy cop duo on for size: Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper. The really, really ridiculously good-looking pair have signed on for an untitled action comedy about two cops in San Francisco who enlist their retired police officer dads to help them with a case.
As my aforementioned examples confirm, Hollywood seems to be keen on cop comedies right now. Personally, I'm a little over the genre, but it's hard to resist a match-up like this one. Both Reynolds and Cooper shine brightest in comedies, and I can see some good chemistry between them. The real question is: who will play their dads?
Sandra Bullock chats about baby Louis in her first post-divorce TV interview, Lindsay Lohan says she has never been addicted to prescription drugs, and David Letterman puts Jessica Alba in an uncomfortable position over her Machete co-star. Plus, watch Demi Moore dirty dancing on stage with Snoop Dogg and Ashton. Watch today's all-new PopSugar Rush!
This week the girls were tested mentally and physically to make sure they have what it takes. It was model bootcamp with the contestants enduring workouts, sleep deprivation and incliment weather conditions. Check out the highlights below:
Gun Control: Sophie and Kathryn had to endure a workout with judge Alex Perry, which was basically just an excuse for him to show off his gym junkie biceps. Cringe. Josh Flinn taught Amanda and Kelsey a little tap routine, while Charlotte Dawson helped Joanna and Jess get in touch with their inner yogi. Who knew Charlotte was so spiritual? Me likey!
Bondage Gear: The girls had to get into Bonds undies and dance their booties off during a live fashion show on stage with Evermore. Dannii Minogue’s baby daddy Kris Smith was a judge, along with Sarah Murdoch. Kelsey seemed to be missing a pole during her dance routine and was called out for being too raunchy. Amanda eventually won the challenge, but Sophie thought she was robbed and only lost because she had short hair.

Estelle and John Legend were among the celebs making and enjoying the music at the Rock the Bells Festival on Governor's Island in NYC this weekend. Beyoncé Knowles looked fresh faced as she chatted to concert-goers and watched Jay-Z on stage, while pregnant Alicia Keys went out in front of the crowds for a boogie during Lauryn Hill's set. Chris Rock, Mary J Blige and the Wu Tang Clan were also in attendance. The headliner was Snoop Dogg, who'd provided the music for Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher's dirty dancing at the end of last week, and his late arrival was forgiven by fans.
