| Duggar family shares pics at miscarried baby’s memorial showing her tiny hands & feet Posted: 15 Dec 2011 08:23 AM PST
This story pretty much floored me when I first saw it, and I sat there staring at the photos for a while. Then I stopped and thought about it, and it’s not even as bizarre as putting a deceased person in an open casket, which is common. This is the Duggar’s way of making sense of their loss, and giving an identity to the child that Michelle miscarried. It seems over the top to me, but I’m not them and they’re suffering a very profound loss. Their last baby, Josie, wasn’t much older than this miscarried child when she was born by emergency c-section three months early. So as you know, Michelle Duggar, 45, miscarried around her 19th week of pregnancy. It would have been her 20th child. They named the baby Jubilee Shalom and held a family service for her. At a larger memorial for friends and family yesterday, the Duggar family shared black and white photos of Michelle holding Jubilee’s tiny hands and feet. On the photo of Michelle holding a little foot about the size of her thumbnail, there was writing in mixed cursive and serif fonts. It said “There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world.” It was an effective message, I’ll say that. It brought their sadness home for me. TMZ and Radar got ahold of the scans of the photos, which a relative of the Duggars tweeted. You can see them there. Here’s more:
Now I’m wondering if they’re going to air any of this memorial or the service on their TLC show. I would assume they’ll show at least part of it, they’ve been open about the pregnancy and their loss. Those photos from the memorial that their cousin tweeted were deleted from her Twitter feed, though. It seems like cousin Amy realized that she shouldn’t have made those photos public, but they’re out now. I feel so bad for admitting this, but I wondered if they were trying to save those to reveal on their reality show. Maybe they were just meant to be for friends and family. It just seems like as nice as these people may be and as much of a tragedy they’re suffering, they’re reality stars and that trumps everything. Even if they don’t mean for it to, you know?

| 2012 Golden Globe nominations are a buffet of quality dong Posted: 15 Dec 2011 08:22 AM PST
Yesterday, the SAG Award nominations came out, and I covered those with the recent Critics Choice nominations. Today it's Golden Globe nominations! The Globes aren't as big of an Oscar-harbinger as the guild awards, but the Globes are still a fun night, and they do actually matter. So, let's get to the list! I'm throwing some comments in too. Television (full list here): BEST TV SERIES, DRAMA: American Horror Story, Boardwalk Empire, Boss, Game of Thrones, Homeland. * I LOVE Homeland, and I'm so glad it got nominated. I'm guessing Game of Thrones or Boardwalk Empire will win, though. BEST TV SERIES, COMEDY: Enlightened, Episodes, Glee, Modern Family, The New Girl. *LOVE The New Girl, happy to see it nominated, and I love Modern Family. My guess is MF will win. BEST ACTOR, DRAMA BEST ACTRESS, DRAMA BEST ACTOR, COMEDY BEST ACTRESS, COMEDY BEST MINI-SERIES OR TV MOVIE: Cinema Verite, Downton Abbey, The Hour, Mildred Pierce, Too Big To Fail. *Love Downton Abbey. Also loved The Hour. FILM (see full list here): BEST PICTURE, DRAMA: The Descendants, The Help, Hugo, The Ides of March, Moneyball, War Horse. *WTF on The Ides of March – that film was total crap. It was like a really naïve episode of The West Wing, only The West Wing always had much better writers. Yay for Moneyball, though. I loved that movie. BEST PICTURE, MUSICAL OR COMEDY: 50/50, The Artist, Midnight in Paris, My Week with Marilyn. *I LOOOOVED 50/50. It was a really beautifully done film. BEST DIRECTOR BEST ACTOR, DRAMA BEST ACTRESS, DRAMA BEST ACTOR, COMEDY OR MUSICAL BEST ACTRESS, COMEDY OR MUSICAL BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS BEST SCREENPLAY *No nomination for Will Reiser, who wrote 50/50? That was a lovely script. Final thoughts: I hate how much love Clooney is being shown. The Ides of March was terrible, and Gosling should have been nominated for Drive, not Ides. The television noms seem all over the place – no Justified or Timophy Olyphant, no Community, no Parks and Recreation, no Breaking Bad (for series). Still, I guess it will be a fun night? Meh. It should be a good night for dong, in any case. UPDATE: Yes, I left it off, sorry. Angelina Jolie’s In the Land of Blood and Honey was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.

| Clint Eastwood and family are filming a reality show: intriguing or terrible news? Posted: 15 Dec 2011 08:18 AM PST
This story truly makes it seem like the End of Days. Apparently, Clint Eastwood has gone to the dark side and agreed to participate within an Eastwood family reality show with his wife of fifteen years, Dina Ruiz, a former anchorwoman is thirty five years younger than himself. I can’t even begin to stress how terrible an idea this sounds like. Why would Clint ever consent to such madness? Maybe he threw his wife a bone (heh) after she pestered him for awhile about it. I guess she must be a famewhore? Pretty much. I just hope she doesn’t drag him down with the ship. The whole deal with Clint Eastwood’s enduring success isn’t all due to his acting and directing, which has obviously got everything to do with the respect he’s afforded within Hollywood but not so much his appeal with the general public. In regard to the latter, it’s more of an issue of mystique that dates back to his portrayal of the Man with No Name in the famed Sergio Leone Dollars trilogy. He’s an enigma, and a reality show could steadily chip away at that legacy. Do we really want to see Clint walking around in his boxer shorts and absentmindedly scratching his ass? No. We most certainly do not.
[From TMZ] This can’t turn out well. Hopefully, the show will be boring as hell because, presumably, Clint will duck out after making a “Honey, I’m home” appearance before retiring to his study, bolting it shut, and chilling out with a hefty supply of fine cigars. An early cancellation with be the most merciful of all possible fates here. Then there’s the worst case scenario, which would be similar to Ozzy Osbourne’s loss of mystique after “The Osbournes” hit the airwaves. One of my good friends from high school was obsessed with Black Sabbath, and he was absolutely crushed after watching Ozzy freaking out over dog poo and snoring on a chaise lounge while his wife Sharon threw raw meat at the neighbors. My friend couldn’t believe that he’d spent his formative years worshipping a guy that turned out to be such a dork. Hopefully, Clint will avoid this fate. He’s 81 years old and has worked too hard to establish a wonderful legacy. None of his fans ever want to think of him as a dork.

| Kanye West “was all over” Kim Kardashian at a recent event: good coupling? Posted: 15 Dec 2011 07:57 AM PST
A few days ago, the estate of Elizabeth Taylor sold off her extensive jewelry collection. If only, if only. I would have loved any of her rings – her collection was legendary, and I do believe that the profits from the auction went to benefit Taylor's beloved charities, like amfAR. Anyway, the auction exceeded everyone's expectations and the total collection ended up selling for $115 million, and in the process, broke several world auction records. One of the lucky high bidders? Kim Kardashian, who must be blowing through her wedding money, right?
[From TMZ] In other Kardashian news, the NY papers are claiming that Kim and Kanye might be hittin' it once again. They were rumored to be boning before she got with Kris Humphries, so maybe Kanye is Kim's "rebound dong." Can I just say? I don't hate the idea of Kim and Kanye together. They make sense as a (crazy) couple.
[From The Mail] Yeah, I totally believe that. That being said, Kanye probably just wants to hit it and quit it. He's not a relationship guy, despite that "thing" that he had with Amber Rose. I think we're supposed to call Amber his "muse" right? Kanye doesn't want to join the Kardashian Empire of Doom – he could never. But he'll bone Kim on the side.

| Angelina Jolie mystified by the tabloid obsession with her life: “I’m the most boring!” Posted: 15 Dec 2011 07:10 AM PST
As we previewed yesterday, Angelina Jolie will appear in a pre-taped interview with Anderson Cooper for his talk show on Monday. In the coverage I did yesterday, Angelina was talking about her family's nomadic lifestyle, and how she hates to "settle" and the whole thing inspired a very interesting conversation about Brangelina and how they're raising the kids. As you know, I like Jolie. But I think this is one of her flaws – she acts as if she would be so disappointed in her children if one of them actually wanted to stay in one place for a year and put down some roots. Anyway, AC's people sent us a lengthy transcript of Jolie and Cooper's conversation, and here are some of the highlights:
[Via Anderson Cooper's show transcript] La Jolie is "boring"??? NEVER. Okay, sometimes she is boring, but just when I think that, she says something that I find innocuous and everybody FREAKS OUT. I'm also including some video clips below… Anderson and Angelina are seriously adorable together. Coop looks at her like… "If I was ever going to try a vadge, it would be yours." And Angelina is all, "Oh, Silver Fox, BEHAVE!"

| Lindsay Lohan’s pleated, tapered pants & cardigan: improving or busted? Posted: 15 Dec 2011 07:09 AM PST
As you may remember, Lindsay Lohan treats her court appearances like runway shows. She always leaks the details and designer IDs to TMZ too, so we know immediately that she's wearing Lanvin or Chanel or what have you, even though pretty much every expensive designer piece looks totally bargain-basement tacky-ass on LL. It doesn't help that she doesn't adhere any of my general style rules for court appearances – go here to review. She usually looks like a day hooker who got busted by a corrupt undercover cop, and the hooker has to appear in the "judge's chambers" to work out a plea deal. Anyway, yesterday's court appearance was kind of different, though. TMZ did not got the details on LL's outfit, so I have no idea whether her ensemble is designer or anything. Plus, LL was covered up. Mostly. I hate to admit that I actually like her cardigan. It's cute, and I wouldn't have rolled up the sleeves, but it's a nice, neutral piece. The pants are pretty wrong – that's some really dated, '80s-style pleating. But should we give LL some credit for not showing off her saggy jugs and not wearing anything made of latex? Eh. By the way, during the hearing, Judge Sautner specified LL's rules for traveling out of the state of California while on probation. Sautner told her, "There seems to have been some confusion on whether or not you were allowed to take vacation outside the state. Ms. Mansfield apparently thought your sister’s birthday was a holiday… In any month in which you finish your 12 days early, you may then travel." So… LL needs to get 12 days done soon before she goes on some crackie jaunt to God knows where. PS… I'm adding closeups of her crackface because it's so amazingly gross. I really can't believe what she's done to herself. And the worst part is that she thinks she looks awesome. Bitch thinks she’s got this.

| Katy Perry is looking even more pregnant, still claims it’s “just Taco Bell” Posted: 15 Dec 2011 06:15 AM PST
Katy Perry keeps denying it, but I think this is for real – she's got a gut full of Russell Brand baby. These are pics of Katy yesterday in Hollywood, where she was promoting her new perfume, "Meow!" It's not even that Katy has "gained weight" – look at her figure. If anything, she's gotten smaller in her arms and legs. She only seems to be putting on weight in her lower abdomen, otherwise known as "the baby area." In the profile pics, you can really see it. I have mixed feelings IF Katy is really pregnant. I think she's probably doing it to "fix" her marriage to Russell Brand, and that band-aid babies don't really "fix" anything in the long run. Which makes me feel bad for her, really. Poor kid. By the way, Katy was named on Barbara Walters' "Most Fascinating People of 2011" list. Katy's not the worst inclusion – she had five number-one hits this year, and her album sold like crazy. (Sidenote: Steve Jobs was number one on the list.) In the interview with Barbara, Katy was asked about her marriage ("I think that it's lovely so far…"), Russell's past addiction to heroin ("I think that there's a capacity for change in anyone") and the baby rumors – "That's just Taco Bell right here." So, another denial. Here’s the interview:

| Jonah Hill: The Kardashians are “a super disgusting part of our culture” Posted: 15 Dec 2011 05:53 AM PST
Jonah Hill is had a particularly good year. Not only did he maintain his credibility as one of the brightest young comic actors in Hollywood, he also turned in a critically-acclaimed, understated, lovely, dramatic performance in Moneyball, and he was just nominated for a SAG Award for Best Supporting Actor for that film. Well deserved! I wouldn't be surprised if he got an Oscar nomination too, not that he would win, but I would enjoy seeing him at all of the awards shows. In addition to his professional achievements, Jonah also lost a great deal of weight over the past two years, which I'm sure has improved his health, and he looks great. So what is Jonah doing with all of the Hollywood and karmic equity he's stored up? He's bashing the Kardashians. Kind of like Daniel Craig, only Jonah's criticism is much more on-point, I think.
[From The Mail] Wow… Jonah Hill is better at criticizing the Kardashian phenomenon than Daniel Craig. Jonah's point is much better – he's leveling the bulk of the criticism on US, for watching the Kardashian shows, for putting a higher value on reality programming than on actual creative, scripted television. I also like that he even admits that he watches it – but it's like he's watching as an anthropologist, like he can't even believe what he's seeing. Sigh… I like Jonah so much. And it is disgusting that Mad Men will never be as popular as a Kardashian show. I can’t wait for Kris Jenner to come out and say that Jonah Hill isn’t a man and that he should apologize.

| Radar: Ali Lohan has lost so much weight, she “looks like a death camp survivor” Posted: 15 Dec 2011 05:52 AM PST
Ali Lohan turns 18 years old on the 22nd. That's apparently "the reason" for Lindsay Lohan and Ali's cracked-out jaunt to Hawaii for a week – they were celebrating Ali's birthday early. And, as we found out in Ali's Page Six Magazine interview, they were probably also celebrating Ali's "graduation" from "high school." She doesn't go to high school – she's "home schooled" in between following her crackhead sister and her boozehound mother around like a lost soul. If Ali had been raised by wolves, she probably would have been better off than being raised by this pack of crackies. Anyway, just minutes after arriving at LAX from Hawaii, LL and Ali celebrated their return by going to a Jay-Z concert. Ali was photographed leaving the event – these are the photos. Radar's crack team of experts looked at these photos and they decided that Ali is starving herself. It's not the most outlandish theory:
[From Radar] Well… I do think she's gotten really thin. I don't know if she's starving herself, I don't know if she has some kind of eating disorder, I don't know if she's on her big sister's old diet of Adderall and booze, I don't know if she just had some kind of huge growth spurt and her metabolism is all out of whack… your guess is as good as mine. Whatever is happening, my guess is that it's partially a cry for help. She probably doesn't even know that, she probably doesn't even recognize that in herself. But I feel like Ali's gaunt appearance is saying to the world, "Look at me. I'm here too." It’s sad. And she’s going to be pimped out by her mother too. PS… Ali's stopped messing with her lips, right? Look at her upper lip – it's deflated. Thank God.

| Rooney Mara in black Prabal Gurung in NYC: unflattering and try-hard? Posted: 15 Dec 2011 05:43 AM PST
Thank you, thank you, thank all of you who agreed with me about Rooney Mara in yesterday's post. She's a smug one, and she thinks it's fine to trash-talk her early jobs now that she's a huge movie star. Well, I know one thing – she's not going to get very far as a fashion girl. After Rooney's goth-bridal Givenchy gown to the London premiere of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Rooney is now giving us full-on goth at the New York City premiere. Rooney wore this Prabal Gurung Spring 2012 dress which… I dislike. I don't hate it passionately, and I think it could be interesting on a different woman. But on Rooney, it just feels like a costume, and like she's trying so hard to be "dark." Plus, will you hate me if I say that I don't think Rooney really has the figure to successfully pull off this dress? Not only does she remind me of Gwyneth Paltrow intellectually, but her boxy figure reminds me of Goop too. Goop would try to pull off this dress. Goop would fail as well. Rooney's hair looks slightly better, though. No bangs. What's with her expression in all of these photos, though? As for the other "stars" on the red carpet – Daniel Craig was there, looking delicious. I've been sad that Rachel Weisz hasn't come to any of these premieres – I was looking forward to seeing them walk a red carpet together. Instead, Daniel posed with his arm around Rooney a lot of the time, and then he got to see Robin Wright. I like Robin's dress, although it's a bit boring. I still don't like that choppy haircut, though.
