Check out these 10 surprisingly short actors that have Hollywood on fire.

This is not basketball. Hollywood is the place where all the superstars are all 6’0 and under!

But, here are 10 actors that are surprisingly “short” but are still rocking Hollywood with everything got!

10. Dave Franco – 5’7”

9. Usher – 5’7½

8. Mark Wahlberg – 5’8”

7. Robert Downey Jr. – 5’8½”

6. Kevin Hart 5’2

5. Daniel Radcliffe – 5’5”

4. Bruno Mars – 5’5

3. Aziz Ansari – 5’6

2. Josh Hutcherson – 5’7

20 Actors Hanging Out with their Stand-Ins

Check out these 20 actors hanging out with their photo doubles and stand-ins.

A stand-in for film and TV is a person who substitutes for the actor before filming, for technical purposes such as lighting or blocking.

Stand-ins assist in the production process because lighting setup can be a slow and tedious process. During this time the actor will often times be somewhere else. Stand-ins allow the director of photography to adjust the lights for the scene and the camera operators to light and focus scenes.

The director will often times ask stand-ins to deliver the scene dialogue and walk through (blocking) the scenes to be filmed. This will help speed up the day’s production and is a necessary and valuable cast member.

Stand-ins are different from body doubles, who actually replace the actors on camera from behind, in makeup or during stunts. Stand-ins do not appea ron camera. Sometimes, the job of a stand-ins and double are done by the same person.

Stand-ins do not necessarily look like the actor, but usually they have the same skin tone, hair color, height and even build as the actor so that lighting in a scene will be done correctly.

Some celebrities require that they always have the same stand-ins. For example, Adam Bryant is Robin Williams official stand-in.

Here are 20 actors hanging out with their photo doubles and stand-ins:

20. The Rock

19. Bruce Willis

18. Jennifer Lopez

Stacey Dash Joins Fox News as a Contributor

Fox News hires Stacey Dash as a Contributor to the News Network

Fox News has announced that Stacey Dash will be a contributor to the network and will “offer cultural analysis and commentary across various daytime and primetime programs.”

“Stacey is an engaging conversationalist whose distinctive viewpoints amongst her Hollywood peers have spawned national debates – we’re pleased to have her join Fox News,” Bill Shine, Executive Vice President of Programming for the network, said in a statement.

Fox News did not that Stacey Dash sparked controversy during the 2012 Presidential election when she endorsed Mitt Romney on her personal Twitter account and “subsequently endured heavy criticism for supporting a conservative nominee.”

Stacey Dash’s acting career has spanned over 20 years, including her lead role in Clueless, the 1995 cult classic, and Renaissance Man, Mo’ Money, and View from the Top, among others.

Stacey Dash was last featured on the VH1 network series ‘Single Ladies‘ for the first season. But, after rumors of fighting between cast members she was replaced by Denise Vasi.

In an interview with LisaRaye, LisaRaye explains why Stacey Dash left/kicked off the TV series.

What happened with Stacey Dash leaving the show?

Believe me I wish things had worked out because I thought Stacey and I were great together. She was my age and we were working it. It was sex-symbol to sex-symbol. But she didn’t want to be there. I was disappointed about that. She had some issues. I’m not sure exactly what those issues were. In the end, she and VH1 made a decision.

Chelsea Handler to end talk show in August

As of August 27, Chelsea Handler will leave her late-night talk show position. In a recent press release, E! announced Chelsea Handler‘s TV series’ Chelsea Lately will end their run on Tuesday, August 26.

I myself am more surprised than anyone that I was able to hold down a job for seven years, and it was a fantastic seven years. I will always look back at my time on E! as most people look back at their time in college. I’m glad I went.

Many people have mixed opinions about Chelsea Handler. But, she had a loyal audience until a The Hollywood Reporter article was published. Earlier this year, The Hollywood Reporter published a story saying that Chelsea Handler had been dissatisfied with the network and wanted to leave at the end of the year. According to Gawker, “in March, when that Hollywood Reporter story came out, her viewership was down to 572,000 a night (compared to 839,000 in 2010).”

After Chelsea Handler leaves, there will be no female late night talk show hosts on U.S. TV.

Chelsea Handler she moved from New Jersey to Los Angeles, California to pursue an acting career, and two years later, became a stand-up comic after telling her story about a DUI to a class of other offenders, who found it funny.

Aaron Hernandez is allegedly killed two people over a spilled drink.

Aaron Hernandez was arraigned today for the drive-by-murders of Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado outside a Boston nightclub in July 2012.

Hernandez pleaded not guilty, and for the first time, the prosecution detailed what they believed caused the murders.

According to the District Attorney, Abreu accidentally bumped into Hernandez, spilling a drink, and did not apologize. This made Hernandez extremely upset, who felt that he had been disrespected a lot more at night clubs in Boston. Surveillance video captures Hernandez angrily pacing outside the nightclub before the victims left.

The entire time Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado had no idea that Aaron Hernandez was angry at them. Hernandez would later pull up alongside their car at a stop light, and fire at least five shots.

Aaron Hernandez defense attorney complained that the case has been unfair due to the media spectacle and the unbiased coverage.

Hernandez was ordered without bail, and will appear in court on June 24.

Aaron Hernandez played college football for the University of Florida, where he was a member of a BCS National Championship team and earned All-American honors. Hernandez was drafted by the New England Patriots in the NFL Draft and was selected for the Pro Bowl following his second NFL season.

Robert De Niro opens up about his gay father in a new documentary.

Robert De Niro is telling the world his story in a new HBO documentary about his late father.

Robert De Niro Sr. a struggling artist who was openly gay. In an emotional Out, magazine interview, De Niro opened up about his father’s legacy and the responsibility he feels to tell his father’s story.

“I felt I had to. I felt obligated. It was my responsibility to make a documentary about him. It was not intended to be on HBO. It was just something I wanted to do.”

Robert De Niro originally, intended that he simply wanted to make the film for his own kids, using archival footage from the 1970’s with the help of Martin Scorsese editor Thelma Schoonmaker.

Robert De Niro’s parents divorced when he was only three years old, and his father still lived nearby to him in Greenwich Village and Little Italy, Manhattan. But, despite living close by to each other they did not have a close relationship. “We were not the type of father and son who played baseball together, as you can surmise. But we had a connection,” explains De Niro.

Robert De Niro got emotional while reading excerpts from his father’s personal diaries. One passage reveals De Niro Sr.’s struggle with his sexuality.

When Robert De Niro was asked if his father was conflicted about being gay, De Niro responded “Yeah, he probably was, being from that generation, especially from a small town upstate. I was not aware, much, of it. I wish we had spoken about it much more. My mother didn’t want to talk about things in general, and you’re not interested when you’re a certain age. Again, for my kids, I want them to stop and take a moment and realize that you sometimes have to do things now instead of later, because later may be 20 years from now — and that’s too late.”

Robert De Niro, who has never played a gay character, says that he was never offered a gay role and it has nothing to do with his personal past. But, there is still a possibility in the future.

“No, they weren’t offered to me. If they had been offered to me by a good director, that’s something I would have considered.”
