Claire Danes

Gebhardt, a senior at Belton's University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, felt her performance waver as she watched tears stream down actress Claire Danes' face while she portrayed an outcast, autistic savant for the upcoming biographical HBO movie "Temple Grandin."

As Gebhardt walked off the set, she said she "felt awful" about the rude comments her character was scripted to say. But she knew it was her talent that had gotten her the role as an extra in the film and so close to the actress she has admired since she watched Danes' performance in the 1996 film "Romeo + Juliet."

"I'm sorry Claire. I didn't mean to make you cry," she lamented after explaining that it was from observing the actress and soaking up the whole experience that brought her dreams to break into the movie business even closer to reality. And it made the years of studying for her major in performance studies worth while.

Should Taylor Swift Accept Kanye West's Apology?


Last night's MTV Video Music Awards show was defined by one overriding storyline: the sudden emergence of a feud between rap superstar Kanye West and country darling Taylor Swift. While Swift was attempting to thank people after winning the Moonman for Best Female Video, West rushed the stage to steal the microphone, shout out Beyoncé's video and generally make a nuisance of himself. He became the evening's villain, made Swift into a bewildered underdog and also set up Beyoncé as a hero who swooped in at the end of the show to save the day. West later apologized to Swift via his blog, but the damage has been done. The question is now: Will Swift forgive West for crashing her party?

We wanted to find out, so we hit the streets of New York to ask a select group of people whether or not Swift should accept Kanye's apology. Do you think she should turn the other cheek or should she hold a grudge against the rapper who dropped in uninvited on her big VMA moment?

Who wants to buy Sharon Tate’s jewelry?

An auction house offers a piece of notorious Manson murder history -- but why would someone want it?

It’s an oval opal ring, surrounded by garnets. Four stones appear to be missing. Its estimated value is somewhere between $25,000 and $50,000. And next week, is going up for auction with Gotta Have Rock and Roll with the opening bid of $10,000.

What is it that makes this particular piece of jewelry so potentially valuable? Is it the elegance of the piece? Is it the fact that it was purchased by an internationally renowned, Oscar-winning director? Or is it because the ring was allegedly worn by his pretty, pregnant wife the night she was savagely murdered by the Manson family?
