Charlie Puth Gets Shaded By Bella Thorne & Keke Palmer

When it comes to her love life, bella thorne isn"t afraid toshake it up.

That"s at least how it seems from the outside. After the 19-year-old former Disney star was spotted holding hands with Grammy nominee Charlie Puth along the beach on Sunday, suspicions rose as to whether or not her burgeoning romance withTeen Wolfstar Tyler Posey had reached a secret finale.

After all, just two weeks before the sighting, the actress told E!"s Marc Malkin that she "loves" Posey and that "he"s awesome." It seems matters of the heart can shift as quickly as paparazzi on a Miami beach.

While a split appears likely between the two actors, it wasn"t the first time Thorne faced a breakup in 2016. In mid-August, she and 24-year-old British star Gregg Sulkin called it quits after a year of dating and sharing a house. At the time, the former couple blamedbusy schedules. "Things just didn"t end up working the way we had hoped," theDuffactress latertweeted. "But I"ll always love the bub."

A week later, the actress confirmed to a fan that she is bi-sexual after photos were taken of her kissing Bella Pendergast.

"I love you guys #pride," the actress tweeted after fans aired their support for Thorne amid her revelation.

By the next month, Thorne had her sights set on Posey when photographers caught them mid-smooch in the street.While the two had been linked in the past, it was a surprising turn in Thorne"s romantic life as theTeen Wolfactor had shot down previous rumors of them dating, claiming he and Sulkin were pals.

"Her boyfriendis actually good friends with me, so we"re definitely not dating," he said during an interview withHuffPost Live.

It seems bro code was thrown out the window as the two started going out in late August, a source revealed to E! News."They are hanging out and testing the waters and seeing where it goes," the source said."Bella really likes Tyler. It"s new, but she hopes it will get to a more serious point. She loves being in a relationship and dating one guy at a time; she is really excited about him."

As Selena Gomez knows all too well,the heart wants what it wants.

The feeling appeared to be mutual. The two were inseparable on social media in the following months as Thorne snapchatted herself watching episodes of Teen Wolfand chronicled their weekends spent together by the pool. Their necks were often covered in hickeys and before long, the two started using the L-word.

"Happy birthday my love @bellathorne," Posey wrote on Instagram in honor of Thorne"s 19th birthday. "Sorry I was a couple hours late, I was too distracted by your face."

Now, with new photos of her strolling along with Puth, it seems there"s another young star distracted by her face. Plus, these tweeted song lyrics may ring an alarm: "I love you but I need another year alone."

Meanwhile, the question remainsdo Thorne and Posey eventalk anymore?

"Tis the season! Google spreads cheer with its Holiday 2016 Day 1 doodle

Deck the Halls with Lyrics (Tis The Season To Be Jolly)

Todays Google doodle is the the first of Googles holiday 2016 doodle series.

Designed by doodler Gerben Steenks, the animated image turns the Google letters into a crew of carolers.

From the Google Doodle Blog:

Dating back thousands of years, the original carols were songs specific to certain regions, and shared by wandering minstrels on their travels between towns. It wasnt until the early 1800s that the practice of caroling as we know it, spread across England and western Europe. During this time, cities began hosting outdoor orchestras that played songs for people to sing along with as they walked by.

The doodle leads to a search for tis the season! and includes a sharing icon to post the image on social feeds or send via email.

The doodle is posted on most of Googles home pages around the world, including warmer-climate countries in Central America, a handful in South America and most of Africa.

There is a second similarly-designed doodle titled Holiday 2016 (Day 1) Warm Climates that is posted on a small collection of Googles home pages, including Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Cuba and most of South America.

It leads to searches for both Tis the season! and Happy Holidays.

No real celebration for Cowboys as they return to work

Skip and Shannon Undisputed 12/23/2016 - Dallas Cowboys: Tony Romo play vs Lions on Sunday?

The team celebration was tempered. The Dallas Cowboys didnt jump for joy or break out in dance.

Instead, the Cowboys got back to work Friday, less than 12 hours after the Philadelphia Eagles did them a favor and beat the New York Giants. That gave the cowboys the nfc east title and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

While the players celebrated on social media Thursday night, coach Jason Garrett acknowledged the accomplishment with only a few words.

We had a short team meeting this morning really to talk about the daily schedule and addressed it, Garrett said. Congratulated our guys. But again our focus is on what we need to do today to prepare to play our best football on Monday night.

The Cowboys will receive their division championship hats and T-shirts at the end of the day. Garrett said he will repeat what he said in 2014 when the Cowboys won their last NFC East title: Wear it today and then give it to somebody you love. Thats not our goal.

Same message, Garrett said.

Garrett said nothing changes for the Cowboys despite having everything clinched. They will continue to play their healthy starters.

What we need to do is play our best football, Garrett said. Thats what were going to focus on. Well focus on that in practice today. Well practice tomorrow leading up to the game on Monday. Then, were going to play the game as well as we can play it, with all hands on deck. Were going to play at a high level and hopefully our preparation carries over into the game.

"MNF" voice Sean McDonough on biggest threat to Cowboys

Cowboys vs. Giants | NFL Week 14 Game Highlights

ESPN play-by-play man Sean McDonough talks about his first season of Monday Night Football and looks ahead toward the Cowboys-Lions game with The Posts Justin Terranova.

Q: What separates Dak Prescott from other rookie quarterbacks?

A: Hes sitting back there behind that great offensive line with all day to throw, but he still has to put the throws in there. Hes very poised, one of those guys when he comes and sits down with you in the meeting room, you can see him leading a team very easily. He has what everyone calls the it factor: poise and self-confidence, but not cockiness.

Q: Who is the biggest threat to the Cowboys in the NFC?

A: Seattle. Theyve been to the Super Bowl twice in the last three years. They still have a wonderful defense and are doing just enough on offense. Its hard to go against the Giants, who are playing great defense one week after the next. Its amazing how much smarter coaches get when you add $200 million in talent. Dallas has had a tremendous season, but I dont think they are head and shoulders above everybody else.

Sean McDonoughESPN Images

Q: What has been your favorite MNF moment this year?

A: The personal highlight was getting the chance to do a game in New England. I grew up here in Boston, going to almost every Patriots home game with my dad. There were so many nice touches around the game. When I got in the booth, there was a handwritten letter from Mike Reiss (ESPN reporter) that said he knew it was a special night and how proud my dad would be.

Q: How is it working next to Jon Gruden?

A: Weve had a fun year and he is a very interesting guy to be around, as you could imagine. I think Jon and I got better as the year went on, and I am thankful it looks like hes staying with us. I got nervous reading some of the stuff (about the Rams interest), but it was nice to hear him say he loves what hes doing and intends to stay.

Q: How do you handle a blowout like the Jets-Colts game a few weeks back?

A: Even though the game isnt compelling play to play, I think in the case of the Jets what we tried to do that night is talk about the teams issues. Why has this happened? What do they do about their quarterback situation? What is the future? They have some hard decisions to make. Was it a one-year blip or do they have to blow it all up?

Brendan Fraser talks manhandling Dominic West on "The Affair"

Brendan Fraser On His Upcoming Bollywood Film, "The Field" | BUILD Series

When Brendan Fraser made his first appearance on Showtimes The Affair, he was noticeably a changed man from his ripped Hollywood heyday in the 1990s. Burly and thick-necked, he cut an imposing figure Fraser stands at six-foot-three as Fishkill prison guard John Gunther, a blue-collar menace who befriends convicted felon Noah Solloway (Dominic West).

In Episode 3, he tells a confused Noah that they come from the same Pennsylvania town and even went to the same high school. He offers to keep an eye out for him. Shortly thereafter, Gunther produces a typewriter for Noah to write with, and typing paper. He orders a copy of his novel, Descent, and asks for an autograph. But just as Noah is settling into his routine, Gunther parks himself desk-side and rips a picture of his wife, Alison (Ruth Wilson), from the wall.

What you got here is an inmate violation, he says. You cant hang a poster on the wall. Noahs protests prompt Gunther to push his head down on the desk, twisting his elbow against his back.

Their relationship is jailor and prisoner, Fraser, 48, tells The Post. Gunthers among the legion of disenchanted, feeling marginalized, so-called white working class, those men who feel they didnt get a fair shake. Everything that he wanted to be handsome, with the wife and the kids Noah has.

As menacing prison guard John gunther, fraser befriends and threatens noah solloway (dominic West).Phil Caruso/SHOWTIME

Manhandling the shorter, slighter West was something the actors worked out. I have had 20 years [experience] of throwing myself around movie sets and trying not to get injured and not hurting my co-stars, says Fraser, who hints that Gunther will exercise his muscle again. You aint seen nothing yet.

In one of his most physical roles, Fraser, who lives in Westchester County, played swashbuckling American adventurer Rick OConnell in The Mummy franchise. Of the first film, released in 1999, he says, We didnt know if we were making a comedy, a drama, a horror movie or a straight-ahead action picture. We understood that there were going to be some special effects posted in. The first installment earned $416 million at the box office and spawned two sequels, which also starred Fraser. Gosh, it had legs, he says.

Renowned as he was for popcorn movies like The Mummy and Encino Man, Fraser scored in dramatic roles, such as Gods and Monsters (1998) and The Quiet American (2002). He co-starred in one of the most controversial Oscar winners, 2004s Crash, which made jaws hit the floor when it beat Brokeback Mountain for Best Picture.

Im a member of the [motion picture] academy and I see everything. Im always surprised by the outcome no matter what, he says. I was happy to be a part of [Crash] and having seen Brokeback, theres always something contentious about one over the other.

I was astonished the year [Gods and Monsters co-star] Ian McKellen did not take home an Oscar [in 1999]. Theres always an upset somewhere.

One thing that does not upset the actor, who is divorced from Afton Smith, his wife of nine years, is that Tom Cruise is starring in the Mummy reboot slated for release next year.

Toms going to be great in it, Fraser says. He has incredible worldwide appeal.

Happy Festivus! Airing 10 more golf-related grievances

Festivus | Seinfeld | TBS

Last year we celebrated festivus -- the holiday that"s free of religious and commercial aspects -- with the Airing of Grievances, telling the golf world all the ways it has disappointed us in the past season. We, uh, went a tad overboard. Not sure what the grievance limit is, but 42 is clearly excessive. For 2016"s Festivus celebration, we tried to dial back the complaints.

But, as much as we love golf, we got a lot of problems with it. AND NOW YOU PEOPLE ARE GONNA HEAR ABOUT IT! Here are 10 more golf-related grievances.

Courses that don"t have water coolers or benches

My normal track doesn"t fill the coolers, thinking it will facilitate more snack cart sales. (Of course, the snack cart is only out during the weekends, leaving many a parched player.) And I know most American golfers are sloths who ride, but us walkers need a chance to occasionally sit, too.

Golfers on their cell phones

Yes, it"s here again, and for a reason. You don"t play pickup basketball or backyard football with your phone on your person. Check a text or two between holes, and feel free to play music during your round. But if you"re making multiple business calls on the course, you"re doing it wrong.

The handicap system disqualifying solo rounds

Golf is a game of integrity, honesty, ethics. And, according to the USGA, we are all liars and cheats.

Apathetic marshals

They have one -- one! -- job, which is to keep play moving. Instead, some marshals joyride around the course or park in a shaded area while Mr. and Mrs. Havercamp kill everyone"s will to live.

Driving ranges that don"t let you hit driver

Move the tees back, raise the net or supply limited-flight b***s, because hitting the big stick should be an unalienable right.

Fringe fans at the Masters

Augusta National is sacred ground, one that should be filled with true zealots of the game. Yet, there are a frightening amount of patrons who are there for the party, who simply want to be seen. Those that recognize only three golfers and ask, "Excuse me, which ones are the Amen holes?" Dear Billy Payne: make badge holders take an entrance exam at the gates. If they don"t know where Sarazen Bridge is located or can"t name Ben Crenshaw"s longtime caddie, boot their behinds to Washington Road.

Players that take more than one practice swing

Let"s throw anyone that lines up a putt from three different angles like it"s the U.S. Open in this category as well. You don"t have to walk right up and rip it; establishing a routine is perfectly acceptable. Just keep that routine under 15 seconds.

Hacks in pro-ams

We get pro-ams are necessary evils, providing a huge revenue stream for the tour and tournaments. That said, there needs to be some barrier to entry. At the Travelers Championship I watched in horror as a woman topped three shots as her pro looked to the heavens, wondering what he did to deserve such fate. If you can"t break 90 or play at a reasonable pace, stay outside the ropes.

Ryder Cup build-up

We thought the "task force" bunk would die with the American win at Hazeltine. We were wrong. Too much noise for a biennial three-day exhibition.

Homeowners complaining about their houses getting hit

Buying a house on a course, only to protest about golfers raining ammo into the yard, is like jumping into a pool and grumbling about getting wet.
