BS SHOW BIZ BUZZ:
★ Kim Kardashian & Kanye West have finally moved out of Kris Jenner’s home. The couple purchased their 1st joint home, an $11-million Italian-style mansion in Bel Air CA, when Kim was pregnant with North in 2013, but it had to undergo extensive renovations and they moved into Kim’s mom’s home in Calabasas while the work took place. However Kim, Kanye, and their 2 children North and Saint, won’t be calling the new mansion home for long because it was listed for sale before it had even been lived in. They’ve bought another property in Hidden Hills CA for $20 million and are awaiting for renovations to be finished there before they move … again.

TODAY’S SHOW BIZ SKED:
• “American Idol” (FOX) – The top 3 performers are revealed.
• The Music of David Bowie (NYC) – A Bowie tribute concert at Carnegie Hall, planned before his unexpected passing. Performers include Ann & Nancy Wilson of Heart, Cyndi Lauper, The Flaming Lips, Michael Stipe of REM; Mountain Goats, Perry Farrell, and The Roots. Part 2 goes tomorrow at Radio City Music Hall. Both concerts are SRO and being streamed on Skype.
• “Ellen DeGeneres Show” (syndicated/CTV2) – Demi Lovato (“Confident”). Rerun.
• “Jimmy Kimmel Live” (ABC/CityTV) – Big Sean & Jhene Aiko (“Twenty88”).
• “Last Call With Carson Daly” (NBC) – White Mystery (“Blood & Venom”).
• “Late Late Show With James Corden” (CBS/M3) – Luke Bryan (“Kill the Lights”).
• “The Ranch” (Netflix) – Debut of a new comedy series about a Colorado ranching family. Stars Ashton Kutcher, Sam Elliott, Debra Winger, Elisha Cuthbert. Critics say the show is unexpectedly sensitive and well-acted.
• “The Talk” (CBS) – Dierks Bentley (“Black”).
• “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” (NBC/CTV2) – Weezer (“Weezer”).

BS MUSIC NOTES:
• Blake Shelton – His lawyers have slammed reports suggesting he made false declarations in his lawsuit against “In Touch Weekly”. The magazine has suggested Shelton’s drinking and womanizing helped torpedo his 4-year marriage to Miranda Lambert. In October, Shelton launched a lawsuit denying all accusations. The legal exchanges are now getting ugly.
• Chris Brown – The woman arrested for trespassing on his property has lost her bid for a permanent restraining order against him. 27-year-old Danielle Patti was taken into custody in December for allegedly driving onto his Woodland Hills CA estate via an open electric gate. She claims she was actually attempting to leave his property but was blocked (brilliant!). She was granted a temporary restraining order against Brown, but it’s now been rescinded.
• Coldplay – Tonight in Buenos Aires, Argentina they begin a South American tour, playing stadiums throughout Latin America and Mexico until April 6th. A European leg follows on May 24th.
• Rihanna – A video for “Kiss It Better” is being released on Vevo at noon EST today. A preview of stills from the video show her completely naked underneath a gossamer thin sheet that leaves little to the imagination.
• Sam Smith – He’s said to be dating British “GQ” model Jay Camilleri, who works for several brands including Puma and Kurt Geiger. The twosome have reportedly been going on secret dates since Sam split from dancer Jonathan Zeizel last year, according to a report in “The Sun”.

COMING ATTRACTIONS:
A BS selection of movies in the making …
• “Fool Me Once” – Julia Roberts is set to produce and star in this bigscreen adaptation of Harlan Coben’s new mystery novel published just last week. The story centers on a woman who sees a shocking image captured by her nanny-cam while she is at work: her 2-year-old daughter playing with her husband … who had been brutally murdered 2 weeks previously.
• “Glass Castle” – Oscar-winner Brie Larson is set to play a successful young woman who was raised by dysfunctional and nonconformist parents. Her world gets turned upside down when they move to NYC to be near her. Woody Harrelson is onboard as the alcoholic father; Naomi Watts is in talks to play the eccentric mother. Production begins in Montréal this June.
• “Monty Clift” – 38-year-old “Magic Mike” actor Matt Bomer was drawn to screen icon Montgomery Clift as a child because they looked like siblings. This bio project had been due to start shooting in 2014, but Bomer is still onboard and claims he has always felt a special connection to the late legend, even though he died in 1966, 11 years before Bomer was born.
• “Patriot’s Day” – Actress Michelle Monaghan is joining Mark Wahlberg in this movie thriller about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. The call sheet already includes John Goodman and JK Simmons. Wahlberg is portraying a composite Boston Police Department officer who is central to the investigation and manhunt. Monaghan plays his wife.
• “Pieces” – Taylor Kitsch is starring and making his directorial debut in this drug drama for which he also penned the script. The film centers on 3 best friends who change the course of their lives by intercepting a drug run. Peter Berg is a producer on the project. Kitsch has a long relationship with Berg, who directed him in “Battleship” and the TV drama “Friday Night Lights”.

HOW TO WIN THE DATING SCENE:
• You may not think of that guy manspreading across from you on the subway as a magnificent peacock, but he’s more or less doing it for the same effect … a show of dominance and openness. And indeed, new research suggests that in online dating and speed-dating, nonverbal displays showing ‘postural expansiveness’ can up your chances of scoring with potential mates compared to those showing a more ‘closed’ posture. That’s because, just like in the animal world, maximizing presence in a physical space is used as a signal for attracting a mate. Bottom line – exhibiting an expressive, open posture and making gestures with hands or arms increases your odds of hooking up.

• Could this be the next big thing? A new service called ‘Smell Dating’ lets you pick a partner based on their scent. Here’s how it works: ‘Smell Dating’ sends you a shirt and requests that you wear it for 3 days and 3 nights without deodorant. Once this is accomplished, you send the shirt back and, in return, the company sends you swatches of t-shirts worn by other people looking for a mate. You whiff up the mystery matches’ bouquets and, voila the matches begin. The whole thing costs $25 … and perhaps a bit of dignity. (Maybe it’s an improvement from Tinder?)
