ORANGE DIRT

Growing up in the spotlight typically leads to anything but a mild lifestyle, and Miley Cyrus is getting some serious flack for her recent phallic birthday cake photos.

Last weekend, pictures of the not-shy “Party in the USA” singer licking and posing with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth’s penis birthday cake emerged, and since then Ms Cyrus is hearing about it.

A conservative group is pointing their fingers at Cyrus calling her behavior “crude” and “disgusting,” saying it “exemplifies sleaze” in Hollywood.

On Thursday (January 26), the Culture and Media Institute (CMI) issued an article called “Hollywood Promoting Women Behaving Badly,” in which it suggests that the onetime innocent Disney star “has become the epitome of the anti-role model for young girls.”

“The Hunger Games” is one of the biggest movies of the year, and it hasn’t even been released yet! And Jennifer Lawrence took questions from fans during a recent interview with MTV News.

The “Winter’s Bone” babe shared some of her favorite musical acts that are in heavy rotation on her iPod these days.

“I was just listening to Mumford & Sons on the way up here — love Mumford, the Black Keys, Jack White. I’m really looking forward to the musical part of the movie; T-Bone Burnett is producing it, and he’s the best in the world, so I’m really looking forward to that.”

Jennifer also discussed finding balance in her character Katniss- “Let’s see, I think everybody has vulnerability and strength. I think she’s vulnerable anyway, like all of the tributes, because none of them really want to be there. They’re chosen randomly, they’re all forced into the arena. She gathers strength, she has to fight to survive. She’s promised her sister that she would come back, so she replaces her vulnerability with strength.”

She noted that the fire on the chariots came from special effects, rather than actual flames. “Oh, that was fake. I wasn’t actually on fire, thank God. … I think they’ll just add that later, hopefully.”

Stepping out for some fun-filled time with the family, Amber Heard was spotted leaving Katsuya restaurant in Los Angeles, CA on Thursday (January 26).

The “Drive Angry” dame looked super cute in a casual ensemble as she and her loved ones exited the popular dining attraction and headed off into the night.

Earlier in the week, Amber and her younger sister, Whitney, hit The Grove in West Hollywood for a bout of shopping.

Ms Heard was last seen in the now-cancelled NBC show “The Playboy Club” and can next be seen in an upcoming drama flick called “Syrup.”

Enjoying some much-deserved down time, Olivia Wilde was spotted out on a lunch date in Los Feliz, California yesterday (January 26).

The “Cowboys & Aliens” cutie was joined by her boyfriend, “Saturday Night Live” funnyman Jason Sudeikis, as she hit up the Alcove restaurant.

Last weekend, Olivia and Jason treated themselves to a romantic getaway to Palm Springs, and they didn’t forget to bring Wilde’s pooch pal Paco.

Of the canine companion, Olivia previously told press, “I’m just really lucky to have found him because he’s my absolute favorite, favorite dog in the world.”

Getting down to business on his new gig, James Franco was spotted on the set of “Lovelace” in Los Angeles last night (January 26).

The “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” stud looked handsome as he got into character as a 1972 version of Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner.

“Lovelace” is a biopic about 70s porn star Linda Lovelace, starring Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard.

Additionally, Demi Moore was recently replaced, due to personal issues, by Mary Louise Parker, who will now be playing Gloria Steinem.

Fresh from a week of working hard and playing hard in Brazil, Ashton Kutcher was spotted arriving back on the west coast on Thursday (January 26).

The “Two and a Half Men” star, who emerged from the Los Angeles International Airport, looked none too happy upon seeing the always-present paparazzi and hurried into his vehicle to head home.

As previously reported by Gossip Center, Kutcher’s estranged wife, Demi Moore, was hospitalized earlier in the week and is reportedly receiving professional treatment for “exhaustion.”

Ashton has stayed mum about Demi’s situation, but a source told People that he is “deeply concerned” for his ex because he “still cares about her and wants the best for her.”
