Transformation of Two and a Half Men Actor Angus T. Jones Throughout the Years

Two and a Half Men returns on Channel Nine tonight, and it’s probably safe to say that the season premiere of a returning show in 2011 has never been more anticipated. The season nine debut marks Ashton Kutcher’s first episode as Walden Schmidt, an internet billionaire with a broken heart. It will also show the aftermath of the funeral of Charlie Sheen’s character, Charlie Harper. While we’re all hanging out to see how Ashton fits in with Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones, we’re also taking a look at how Angus has grown over the years. Angus started on the show in 2003, when he was just 10 years old! Now 17, the chubby cheeks are gone, and last year Angus was the highest paid child actor on US television, earning US$300,000 an episode. So before you tune in to see how Angus’ character Jake Harper reacts to his uncle’s death and the arrival of Walden, check out his transformation!

Two and a Half Men premieres tonight at 8:30 p.m. on Channel Nine.

Celebrity splits

Lea Michele and Theo Stockman Split

Lea Michele and her boyfriend Theo Stockman have split, her rep confirmed to E!

Lea Michele and her boyfriend Theo Stockman have split, her rep confirmed to E! Online. Lea’s rep said, “This is not a dramatic breakup, the relationship just ran its course. They are still friends and will always be friends.” During their time together, Lea and Theo kept a low profile and rarely attended events together. They both have Broadway backgrounds, and Lea previously told US Harper’s Bazaar that their relationship worked because “what I do is what I do, and what he does is what he does, and when I come home, we have each other. He doesn’t get caught up in it.” Yesterday Lea attended the Emmys solo and celebrated with her Glee castmates. She also just tweeted to fans, “You guys are all also so amazing.. Reading all your messages now. Love you guys too..”

Australia's Next Top Model: It's All About Mother Nature

Last night on Australia’s Next Top Model, the remaining 10 models got back to nature.

Last night on Australia’s Next Top Model, the remaining 10 models got back to nature. The week’s activities included a visit to Sydney Dance Company, a trip to Kangaroo Island, a group challenge, a tribal-themed photo shoot, and, of course, an elimination. Here are some of the highlights from the episode:

Ash cloud from Chile almost prevents a trip to Kangaroo Island: The girls weren’t pleased to wake up in wee hours of the morning, only to discover at the airport that their trip to Kangaroo Island (off the coast of South Australia) had been postponed due to the ash cloud from the Chile volcano in June. Yolanda said it best when she quipped, “I’m thinking, ‘How dare Mother Nature interrupt my holiday!’”

Making shapes at Sydney Dance Company: So instead of heading to Kangaroo Island, the girls paid a visit to Sydney Dance Company, where Charlotte Dawson gave them a brief where they had to tell a story with a pose. Hazel had to be a eucalyptus tree, Rachel had to be sunshine, and Simone had to be the ocean — which she thought was hard compared to some of the other girls’ briefs.

Kristen Stewart posed on her way into Mulberry's London Fashion Week after party on Sunday. She changed into denim and a sweater for the festivities after donning a dress to sit front row to see the collection earlier in the evening. Kristen Stewart and Kate Moss were seated together at the show, and Kristen showed off her long, darker hairstyle that she later twisted into a side braid. The new 'do is for Kristen's Snow White character, which she took a break from to attend the fashion fun. She's been filming the movie in the UK for the past few months and got a sweet visit from boyfriend Robert Pattinson before he returned to LA just last week. Rob made it back to the West Coast just in time for the Emmys, and though he didn't attend the show, Rob was spotted at Jimmy Fallon's after party at Trousdale.

The live shows for The X Factor kicked off last night in spectacular style, showing off the huge set and high production value for the first time this year. It opened with a group performance from the series’ judges Guy Sebastian, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Ronan Keating and Mel B, who each sang some of their most popular hits before coming together for the Spice Girls’ “Who Do You Think You Are.” While many say the concept was borrowed from The Voice, it was definitely a dynamic start to the series, and a good reminder of the judges’ music and performance styles. It was also impressive to see Mel B back on stage, in high heels, just weeks after giving birth to her third child! As for the show, some of the contestants were so popular that they became worldwide trending topics on Twitter, such as Reece Mastin, 3 Wishez and Audio Vixen. If you missed the judges singing together, or want to re-live it, watch!

Pippa Middleton Takes a Front Row Seat at Temperley

Pippa Middleton claimed a coveted front row spot at yesterday's Temperley show during London Fashion Week.

Pippa Middleton claimed a coveted front row spot at yesterday's Temperley show during London Fashion Week. Pippa, who just turned 28 earlier this month, took a break from her busy work schedule to take in the runway presentation. She and her sister, Kate Middleton, are fans of the British brand, and Pippa's green dress at her sister's wedding reception was a Temperley design. Pippa had a friend by her side, and was seated next to Rosario Dawson, but Kate didn't join her sister for the stylish event. The Duchess of Cambridge is forgoing Fashion Week in favour of focusing on her latest charitable effort. Kate and Prince William are opening a cancer-treatment centre for children, but even though she may be absent from the front row at LFW, Kate's Alexander McQueen wedding gown remains one of the most memorable style moments of the past year. More than 350,000 visitors stopped by Buckingham Palace over the past few months to catch a glimpse of the dress in person!
