Hollywood Headlines: A week in review
The crooner joined Matthew McConaughey, Kendrick Lamar, Will Ferrell and James Gandolfini on GQ’s illustrious list this year for good reason: Timberlake gracefully stepped into the foreground in 2013 after releasing his first album in seven years (jam-packed with singles), a whirlwind tour and lots of media attention. Seriously cool, but the ‘N Sync alum doesn’t think so. “Being cool is about keeping your blood pressure steady,” he told GQ. “So no. Don’t be cool. Be passionate. Be dedicated. Be tenacious. Be uncompromising. Be pissed. Be happy. Be sad.” We get you JT, but perhaps your definition of the word differs a bit from ours. (Isaac Brekken / Getty Images)

Talk about commitment to character. The actor took an emotional scene too far while filming for his upcoming feature, “Nightcrawler,” breaking a mirror — and his capillaries.

Canadian actress Genevieve Sabourin has been convicted of stalking and harassing Alec Baldwin since the pair shared a meal in 2010. According to reports, Baldwin, the usually steely (or hot-tempered) actor, got teary-eyed during his testimony. Sabourin left the New York courtroom Thursday with seven months of jail to serve for unwanted house visits, nasty voice mails and in-court heckling.
The trial got the actor in a bit of trouble as well: Afterward, Baldwin used strong language to lambast a photographer who got too close, and has since then taken to Twitter to apologize. (Seth Wenig / Associated Press)
What was expected to be three months of residential rehab dwindled down to about two weeks as Chris Brown exited a Malibu facility to continue treatment as an outpatient. The R&B singer initially checked in, reportedly to deal with anger management issues, after being arrested on suspicion of assault while in Washington, D.C. (Michael Loccisano / Getty Images)
The liberated pop star lit up a suspicious-looking cigarette — she later admitted it was weed — during the MTV European Music Awards in Amsterdam, wielding it in one hand as she went on stage to accept her best music video award for “Wrecking Ball.” For U.S. audiences, MTV deleted footage of the star smoking.

The singer made her latest thoughts about ex-BFF Perez Hilton public on Howard Stern, saying that she’s tired of their ongoing quarrel. But Mother Monster hasn’t raised the white flag yet, pulling an anecdote about why Hilton is the bad guy out of her arsenal during the interview. “I took two days out of my schedule when I was on a world tour to do an interview for him ... and in the middle of the interview he started asking me really terrible questions and he was being very negative about ‘Born This Way’ and we had had a lot to drink,” she told Stern. “He was supposed to be my friend and I felt betrayed, so I started crying.” It wasn’t long before Hilton took to Twitter with his own ammunition.

Perhaps the young singer’s Beliebers are losing faith. Bieber’s Buenos Aires audience harmonized its boos when the pop star left the stage mid-concert, telling fans his energy level was low. According to the unlucky pop star, a bout of food poisoning was the energy-sucking culprit — perhaps the least dramatic snafu during his rocky South American tour so far. (Mario Ruiz / EPA)
“It’s not until we stop treating each other like that and just stop calling each other fat ... with these unrealistic expectations for women. It’s disappointing that the media keeps it alive and fuels that fire,” she said during an interview promoting “Catching Fire,” the upcoming sequel to “The Hunger Games.” “That’s something that really bothers me because I love to eat.” (Vittorio Zunino Celotto / Getty Images)
Kim Kardashian starred in a real-life car chase this week, without the Hollywood ending (the one where she gets away). The California Highway Patrol stopped and ticketed her after she tried to outdrive five paparazzi who were in close pursuit. (Ethan Miller / Getty Images)
Mariah Carey has compared her experience as a judge on “American Idol” to that of roasting in the hot, hot underworld. “It was like hell,” she said. “Going to work every day in hell with Satan.” But who played the devil? Carey wouldn’t tell. (Evan Agostini / Associated Press)
