The results of the study are based on a survey of 251 adolescent girls aged 14 to 17 years old. Out of those 251, about 130 of these girls had reported "maltreatment," a documented form of abuse. Dr. Noll and her colleagues wanted to see if the girls who had suffered maltreatment were any more

Happier times for Tom and Katie at the Vanity Fair Oscar party last year.This Thursday, Lawrence's Wright's controversial book Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief will hit shelves. As to be expected, it includes a great deal of information that will likely have the bigwigs behind the Church of Scientology not so happy, including more details on the totally bizarre "wife-auditions" for the church's most public supporter, Tom Cruise.

In Going Clear Wright claims that actresses Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, Kate Bosworth, Lindsay Lohan, and Katie Holmes were brought in for auditions to star alongside Cruise in Mission Impossible III, but in actuality, they were being interviewed to become the next Mrs. Cruise.

An image from Khroma Beauty's European website.The Kardashian sisters' makeup line, Khroma, has been slapped with a copyright infringement lawsuit and it's not the first time the family has been accused of stealing someone else's ideas.

K-Stew, what in the world is this outfit? If all the celebrity back-patting during award season makes you sick to your stomach, luckily there's a panacea: the 33rd Annual Razzie awards, created in 1980 to "dis-honor" the worst films and performances of the year.

In 2010, actress Sandra Bullock won a Razzie for Worst Actress and an Oscar in the same weekend and was a great sport about it.

Katherine Heigl for One for the Money
What was this movie about, anyway? Something to do with Gerard Butler being a bounty hunter, we don't even remember. Katherine Heigl has as much appeal as a stale piece of white bread or the worst taste in scripts, or both.

Milla Jovovich for Resident Evil #5: Retribution
This series has its fans, but one called this most recent film "THE WORST DISAPPOINTMENT EVER," which is saying a lot. Though it might work for actress Frances McDormand (whose husband is one-half of the Coen Brothers), it's
