Taylor Swift to star in New Girl

Taylor Swift is to guest star in 'New Girl' as a character called Elaine. The 'State of Grace' hitmaker - who is known to be a big fan of the series - will make a cameo appearance in the May 14 finale of the comedy show, which stars Zooey Deschanel as adorable-but-awkward teacher Jess. According to Entertainment Weekly, Taylor will portray a character called Elaine, who is an 'important guest' at the wedding of Cece (Hannah Simone) and Shivrang (Satya Bhabha). The 23-year-old star has been name-checked on several occasions in the series and in one episode Taylor's latest single '22' played in the background while Nick (Jake Johnson) was trying to cheer up Jess. It's not the first time the blonde beauty has tried her hand at acting. Taylor made her acting debut on the small screen in a 2009 episode of 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation', in which she played a rebellious teenager. Taylor has also featured in movies such as 2010 comedy 'Val

Taylor Swift Had Red Tour Sobbing, Squealing, Soaring In Jersey

Newark, New Jersey "Sometimes, you have just too many emotions in one day, that you don't know which one to write about." It was mid-set and Taylor Swift sat at red grand piano, pushing in the keys with casual preciseness. Her wavy blonde hair fell around her shoulders as she sang. Her eyes glistened. She looked directly at the main camera, projecting the intense, sad feeling she had on her face onto the big screen. Around the Prudential Center, groups of teens clutched their friends' hands while Swift solemnly called out the melody of "All Too Well," a song she had written about a breakup. A couple in Section 8 cried in each other's arms. But it didn't stay beautifully somber for long. Throughout the Red Tour stop, Taylor Swift took the audience through a string of emotions from blissful to hopeful to revengeful to romantic. Or, as the singer sums it up in one fiery, all-encompassing color: red. The emotions tied to the color, seen everywhere

Taylor Swift at the Prudential Center: Song by song, again

Making excellent use of hats lately: Taylor Swift, at the Prudential Center. Alex Remnick/The Star-Ledger Say, did I mention Taylor Swift was in town? Only about 500 times? Pardon my enthusiasm: "Red" was my favorite album of last year , and I've probably driven my neighbors crazy by playing it over and over ever since its release. I faced down Hurricane Sandy to that album. I pull-quoted its songs in e-mail messages; I talked it up to friends and family and to the poor listeners of Rich Russo's radio show who were probably expecting a rock critic to talk up Tame Impala instead. When I needed confidence; when I worried; when I wanted to dance like I was 22 (and I haven't been 22 in a very long time); it was Taylor Swift's "Red" I turned to. Nothing's changed -- I had a doctor's appointment in New York City a week ago, and no analgesic could have steadied my nerves or soothed my pain any better. When I listened to her first three sets, I t

Better Than: Watching your bracket dissolve before your eyes.Also Better Than: Dating Taylor Swift, then having her write a song about you.Bottom Line: As her RED tour proves, its Taylor Swifts world, and were just living in it. Around the time Taylor Swift was taking her final bow, Fred Van Vleet, backup guard for West Region No. 9 seed Wichita State, drilled a three-pointer, the dagger in the heart of No. 1 Gonzaga. Gonzaga was a heavy tournament favorite, but the Bulldogs loss wasnt exactly surprising; they barely survived a tough game against No. 16 seed Southern. The Zags, Deadspins Sean Newell notes, remain one-and-done in the tournament since 2009, and everyone who argued their No. 1 seeding and they were myriad now looks like a genius.Its a larger problem with this years tournament, Newell argues, and that the committee totally screwed up seeding in the b

Taylor Swift Photo Credit: Christopher Polk/Getty Images ( CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.) Oh, thanks, Glamour . I was just wondering how in the world Taylor Swift can wear such dark eye makeup without looking trashy, and there you were with the answer. So I expect my next smoky-eye look to be just as fabulous as hers now that I know the secret. "Look at Taylor Swift's smoky eyes. See how the bronze shadow softens the black liner," the magazine story says. They go on to explain that what they see her doing is using black liner to sex up the shape of her eyes, but then -- and this is where most women go very, very wrong -- she surrounds that liner with a softer shade or a metallic one -- as opposed to more black. The result is smokiness, without the slightest trace of "raccoon eyes." But when Swift's not after quite such a smoldering look, say for her h
