| 5 Facts About Lindsay Lohan’s New Man, Philipp Plein Posted: 29 Sep 2011 11:40 AM PDT
1. Philipp is German. He was born in Munich in 1978, which makes him 33-years-old. His middle name is Patrick — so throw one more “P” in there. 2. Philipp’s design career is doing pretty well. In 2007, GQ gave him the National Brand of the Year award, and he’s appeared on Germany’s Next Top Model. 3. He has his own Barbie doll. Like, not just one that he owns, but one he designed, for Barbie’s 50th anniversary. The doll wears a luxurious rhinestone-encrusted gown. 4. Philipp works under his own eponymous label, and Lindsay is that brand’s new face. Linds recently shot a campaign for the clothing line, showing off bright orange hot pants and poofy white dresses:
5. His reps and Lindsay’s reps both deny that the two are an item, although all that photographic evidence suggests otherwise. Hey, if it keeps Lindsay from making out with her mom, then it’s all good with us.

| Hot Shot: Sendhil Ramamurthy Goes Shirtless For Covert Affairs Posted: 29 Sep 2011 11:14 AM PDT
I’ve had a big crush on Sendhil Ramamurthy ever since he appeared as Mohinder Suresh on Heroes. Now he’s part of the cast of the Piper Perabo series Covert Affairs — and the geniuses behind that show wisely wrote Sendhil a shirtless scene. Covert Affairs is USA’s series about a covert CIA trainee, played by Piper. Sendhil plays (well-toned) CIA operative Jai Wilcox. The series is currently in its second season and just got picked up for a third. (via Just Jared) Post from: Crushable |
| Grab Some Tissues — The Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close Trailer Is Here Posted: 29 Sep 2011 11:04 AM PDT On the tenth anniversary of 9/11, my family watched Lifetime’s minute-by-minute broadcast of the attacks, featuring footage from ten years ago. It was grim and sad; we just sat quietly for two hours and cried. Not to sound glib, but after watching the first trailer for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, I have no doubt the movie will be just as heartrending. The movie stars Thomas Horn as Oskar, a precocious kid (there are theories that he’s an autistic savant) who loves to go hunting around New York City for treasures with his father, played by Tom Hanks. But after his dad dies in the 9/11 attacks, Oskar discovers a strange key and becomes obsessed with finding its lock, believing his dad has left him one last message. Sandra Bullock plays his grieving mom, and New York plays New York; thankfully, they shot most of the movie in the city for authenticity. I’m going to actually read Jonathan Safran Foer‘s novel first, so I’m sure I’ll be crying over that in about a week. But it’s equally likely that I’ll be sobbing in the theater, if they decide to keep the U2 music that accompanies the trailer. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Ladies Be Filmin’: ABC’s Suburgatory Posted: 29 Sep 2011 10:31 AM PDT
Is Mean Girls one of your favorite movies? If so, then Suburgatory just might be your new favorite TV show. The show, which follows Manhattan teen Tessa (Jane Levy, doing her best Emma Stone) after her father, George (Jeremy Sisto from Clueless, apparently now old enough to have a teenage daughter, which is information that makes me want to die), moves their two-person family from Manhattan to the suburbs. The suburbs, of course, are a total nightmare in a very Real Housewives of New Jersey way: the moms are plastic (down to the boobs), the daughters wear garments that probably don’t legally qualify as skirts, and the dudes (both dads and sons) are wholly uninteresting. Jane is determined not to like it, but neighbors like Dallas (Cheryl Hines, killing it!) are set on changing her mind. There are some quibbles with the show — as anyone who’s ever spent a day shopping on the Upper East Side can attest, Manhattan is also full of plastic people, and though the show purports to depict general suburbia, it’s actually a more specific super-rich fancy town. Despite those nitpicks, however, Suburgatory is one to watch for sure. The relationship between Tessa and George is delightful: though they don’t always get along, they genuinely seem to like each other. The jokes are fast and solid (we especially enjoyed Dallas referring to a neighbor’s “utay-tay” instead of uterus). To be honest, the whole thing is worth watching if for no other reason than Dallas: plastic but extraordinarily well-intentioned and secretly sharp, she is, hopefully, a predictor of the smart, sweet show Suburgatory will become.

| Someone Unearthed Ron Swanson’s High School Yearbook Photos! Posted: 29 Sep 2011 09:56 AM PDT
Parks And Recreation‘s resident libertarian Ron Swanson is basically perfect, so I can see how it would be easy to think he sprang fully formed from the mighty Wabash River. But actually, Ron Swanson is played by actor Nick Offerman, who was once a child, and now there are pictures to prove it. A tipster wrote into Uproxx yesterday with some amazing photos from Nick’s high school yearbook. Apparently, said tipster had the Ron Swanson Pyramid Of Greatness hanging in his cubicle, which a co-worker who’d gone to school with Nick noticed. He then furnished him with a copy of his high school yearbook from 1986/87 and told him Nick had been “popular, a very nice guy and in every school play.” Of course. Here is teenage Nick Offerman in all his glory (“a real stud,” indeed):
Here he is rocking a mullet and a sheet on “Toga Day”:
And look, he was on student council!
How very un-Swanson-like of him. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Video: Jersey Shore‘s Deena Cortese Teaches Ed Helps To Dance The Jersey Turnpike Posted: 29 Sep 2011 09:43 AM PDT If you’ve ever seen him singing and dancing on The Office, it might shock you to hear that Ed Helms was upstaged on last night’s episode of The Tonight Show. But he did, in fact, have the spotlight stolen from him by none other than Jersey Shore meatball Deena Cortese. Deena used Ed as a prop in her booty-shaking dance called the “Jersey Turnpike,” which is basically a straight up bump-and-grind booty dance. Fortunately, Deena remember her underwear this time — at least we think she did. Can someone get Ed on the line for confirmation? (via Celebuzz) Post from: Crushable |
| Ashton Kutcher Gets In Trouble For Advertising Foursquare On Two And A Half Men Posted: 29 Sep 2011 09:37 AM PDT
In Monday’s episode, Ashton’s character Walden Schmidt is lounging on the couch with his laptop. The computer is plastered with stickers of social networking sites like Foursquare, Chegg, and Hipmunk, along with a few others that are unidentifiable. (The companies’ big mistake, says Bnet, was relying on unrecognizable symbols and wasting their precious seconds of screen-time.) Now, that would be totally normal for a character like Walden, who’s an Internet billionaire—but because Ashton has financial stakes in Foursquare and other companies, it’s immediately a conflict of interest. (CBS did include a disclaimer about Foursquare in the episode’s credits, per FCC regulations, but no word on if they acknowledged the other companies Ashton has ties to.) So where’s the line between a realistic prop and product placement? I’m a playwright; I wrote an entire one-act play about Twitter a few years ago with no intent of providing the site with free advertising. But then, my play was seen only by 100 NYU students, not by CBS’ 20 million viewers. Sure, Ashton Kutcher is known for these unsavory conflicts of interest, like when he recently edited Details’ online September issue and plugged three tech companies he’s an investor in. But there’s two definitions of artistic integrity at play here: 1) Disclosing your financial stakes, but also 2) incorporating genuine character details and not using TV shows’ favorite fake social-networking site “FaceSpace.” Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Carey Mulligan Debuts Her Engagement To Marcus Mumford Posted: 29 Sep 2011 09:13 AM PDT
Carey’s 26 and Marcus is only 24. They two had only been dating for five months when Marcus proposed — although they have known one another for quite some time. The Drive star — who previously lived with Shia LaBeouf – has been reluctant to discuss her engagement with the press. Carey’s currently filming Baz Luhrmann‘s adaptation of The Great Gatsby. She’ll play the Daisy Buchannon to Leonardo DiCaprio‘s Jay Gatsby. Toby Maguire nabbed the role of Nick Carraway. Marcus Mumford should probably be playing Tom Buchannon, but he is not. Alas.

| They Are Giving Dane Cook His Own TV Show Posted: 29 Sep 2011 09:03 AM PDT
Following the glowing critical success of 2 Broke Girls and Whitney, the geniuses at NBC have decided to balance out all that estrogen with some good ol’ fashioned bro humor. And what better person to deliver said bro humor than the guy whose comedy album every frat pledge on your hall freshman year played at max volume, over and over, while laughing so hard he spit Natty Ice everywhere? That’s right, I’m talking about the razor sharp comedic mind of Dane Cook. I guess they were so impressed with his tour de force performances in Good Luck Chuck and My Best Friend’s Girl that they had no choice but to give him his own sitcom post haste, before AMC snapped him up to play an existentially conflicted drug kingpin on Breaking Bad. According to TVline, Cook has signed “an overall talent deal with NBC with an eye towards developing a half-hour sitcom for the 2012-13 TV season.” I know, I know, you want your Dane Cook sitcom now. In the meantime, you will just have to continue to amuse yourself with Cook’s hilarious and cerebral stand-up comedy. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| American’s Next Top Model All Stars Recap: Posted: 29 Sep 2011 08:58 AM PDT
The contestants got a visit from Kristin Cavallari, who reminded them that they are always going to have haters. (And subtly reminded us to tune in to H8R, every Wednesday at 8 p.m. on The CW!) Then the ladies were shipped off to The Grove to get interviewed by Extra's Mario Lopez. (He's also the host of H8R, a show you can watch.) Nigel promised "tough questions," so I was hoping for something controversial, like, "What's Tyra Banks' worst quality?" Instead, Lopez threw a bunch of softballs I could have answered myself. And I am terrible at public speaking and sports. The models split themselves up into two teams so that the winning team could have immunity, something Tyra straight-up stole from Bravo. I didn't think anyone was that impressive, but no one struck me as aggressively awful either. Bianca said, "I have word vomit just like everybody else," which is the kind of thing I would babble in that situation. But Nigel chastised her for talking about vomit a lot, apparently unaware that "word vomit" is the polite alternative to "verbal diarrhea." He also told Angelea that she was too toned down, which sent her into a rage in the limo. I'm not sure Angelea appreciated the irony of screaming about her professionalism, but she did make some valid points: "I know how to conduct myself, bitch. I worked at a bank." Next was the photo challenge, which paired the models up and had them walk on stilts. "I have a deathly fear of heights," Bianca said, like we'd be silly enough to forget her similar freak-out in China. I'm not a fair-weather Top Model fan, OK? Respect. As far as challenges go, this was a little low-key, though I did enjoy Dominique's surprisingly self-aware, "I have a whole lot of face going on right here." Camille offered some charming transphobic remarks, Angelea complained about her lack of lower-body strength, and Alexandria made a series of Martina Navratilova tennis noises. It's like, I've seen it before, you know? I guess I'm more interested in the models at home, because these are established reality show personalities. Just film them and the magic will happen. If I wanted to see gangly people on stilts, I'd go to Cirque du Soleil. (Also if I weren't afraid of French Canadian clowns. That's a bigger "if.") Step up the photo shoots, All Stars, or give me more of Isis dressing like a ballerina and saying, "I'm gonna look like Black Swan." Or better yet, do a Black Swan-themed photo shoot. Or better still, they all stab each other with shards of broken mirror. At judges' table, Tyra introduced Kristin Cavallari as one of the biggest reality stars living today, as opposed to all those reality stars who died in Vietnam, R.I.P. Kristin was fairly outspoken in her opinions, which is probably why Tyra made fun of her. But Tyra has a sense of humor, y'all. She even referenced the America's Next Top Model sketch they did on Saturday Night Live. She thought it was hilarious! And she totally got the point, which was to commend Tyra's versatility as a performer. What can I say? A mediocre photo shoot begot a mediocre judging. Even Angelea confronting Nigel about his mixed message was weak. In the limo, I was promised "hood bitch," and I got neither hood nor bitch at panel. Andre Leon Talley earned some points for calling Laura a "super feminine glamorpuss" and Bre a "strong robot out of Blade Runner." But he instantly lost those points for bowing out of Top Model next cycle, and for not knowing that the "robots" in Blade Runner are called "replicants." After the awkward introduction of the phrase "booty tooch" (it's this year's "smize"!), the judges decided to send Isis packing. I didn't think her photo was all that bad, but I'll confess I know more about Blade Runner than I do modeling. Maybe I'm just bummed that Top Model All Stars now has one fewer trans contestant than Dancing With the Stars. But hey, if Isis had to leave, at least she left dressed like a Natalie Portman-esque ballerina. What happened to my sweet Isis? SHE'S GONE. Like Isis, I will not be back next week. (I'm moving and won't be able to recap. Ugh, life, right?) So practice your booty tooches while I'm away, and I'll see you in a couple weeks. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
Lindsay Lohan has a new beau, maybe! The starlet was recently snapped 
The fall TV season is underway and, 
Only two episodes in, and Ashton Kutcher has already pissed off his bosses at CBS: 
Hey look: it’s a diamond engagement ring on Carey Mulligan‘s finger. Which makes sense, as the actress became engaged to Mumford and Sons singer Marcus Mumford last month. The cutest thing about this English It-couple is that Carey and Marcus were pen pals as kids! Aww.
