Tom Felton is in Miami, being pasty and… sexy? Yes, I'm hot for Felton in these photos. I would nail that pasty English boy to the wall. [Celebuzz]

| Michelle Duggar records a message for her lost baby, includes a lot of pro life talk Posted: 29 Dec 2011 08:17 AM PST
Jubilee Shalom Duggar from WMtek Inc on Vimeo. Reality star Michelle Duggar, 45, miscarried what would have been her 20th baby around her 19th week of pregnancy earlier this month. The family held both a private ceremony and a larger memorial for the baby, a daughter whom they named Jubilee Shalom. During the memorial, photos were shown of Michelle holding Jubilee’s tiny hands and feet. While some people took offense at that, others pointed out that it’s common to photograph the dead and that sometimes these photos are all grieving families may have to remember the little ones they lost. Now Michelle has recorded a message for Jubilee. One one hand, it’s touching and sad. She’s mourning for what she lost and what she’ll miss with this child. Some of what she said really moved me. All her child are special to her and this was a huge loss to her family. On the other she really goes into some pro-life territory here and spends a lot of time talking about how other people don’t value babies. It’s obvious exactly what she means. I’m trying to be measured here, but the amount of preaching she does is obvious. Plus she’s making it public and this was posted on the Duggar family website, it’s not like they’re only choosing to share it with friends and family.
I’m sorry this woman lost her baby. That must have been horrific and awful and heartbreakingly sad. The fact that they already have a big family does not change what a tragedy it was. Most of what she said touched me and made me feel very sorry for her family. Abortion is legal in this country and all the sweetness and preaching and sad stories are hopefully not going to change that. You cannot reduce the issue to one in which people somehow think babies are a “burden.” I wouldn’t expect the Duggars to grasp that it’s much more complicated than that, since they also believe that the earth is about 6,000 years old and that dinosaurs and humans co-existed. I’m sorry, that’s what they believe. These people have a platform and they’re using it and we’re pointing that out. I’m very sorry for her loss and in no way mean to make light of it.

| Kim Kardashian’s Photoshop diet on the cover of Us; claims to be a size 2 Posted: 29 Dec 2011 07:36 AM PST
So here we have Kim on the cover of the US Weekly diet issue, showing off her bikini body. This was obviously achieved through the Photoshop diet. We’ve seen plenty of bikini candids of Kim and she looks good albeit totally fake, but she doesn’t look like this. Someone went way overboard with the ‘shop. I also doubt that this photo is at all recent. In that Cosmo interview for their August issue, Kim claimed to be a size 4, which many people scoffed at. In the new issue of US she’s claiming to be a size 2. I get that she’s shorter at 5’2″, but a size 2? Why doesn’t she just go for the gold and claim to be a zero? Here’s her vague diet advice and some words from her trainer:
[From US Weekly, print edition, January 9, 2012] That’s their entire article on Kim and her “exact meal plan.” At least she’s no longer shilling for that shady diet company that Scott works for. And at least she’s not training with that scam artist Tracy Anderson. Plus her diet sounds sensible even though she doesn’t give much advice, and I like that she’s not advertising for some paid plan. (Which she probably would be if one would have her.) Other than that I don’t have anything nice to say. I hope that her reign at the newsstands will soon be over.

| Robert Downey Jr. has to special order his Tom Cruise-esque 3″ high heels Posted: 29 Dec 2011 07:35 AM PST
For better or for worse, we (I) make fun of Tom Cruise's lifts all of the time. Tom is a shorter-than-average man, but he really, really wants people to think he's a super-butch action star, so he wears lifts (or high heels, as I call them) all of the time, on and off the set. This isn't so shocking really, I just like to look at Tom Cruise photos and try to spot where the "hidden" lift part of the shoe starts, and I always get a kick out of Tom trying to pull off skinny jeans and high heels. Over the years, I've also noticed that Robert Downey Jr., a fellow short dude, also wears lifts, although RDJ's lifts aren't a Tom-Cruise-level, OCD compulsion. RDJ seems to wear lifts for his job, when he's filming a movie and he wants to look the same height as… Gwyneth Paltrow, I guess. In red carpet appearances, RDJ either wears sneakers with an extra inch of sole, or he just wears regular dress shoes. Anyway, Us Weekly has a funny little story about RDJ's special-order of some 3-inch heels. They're for a movie, for the love of God!
[From Us Weekly, print edition] So here's a question: why am I not delighted by this? Tom Cruise's lifts are a source of constant amusement to me, but with Robert, it just feels like… meh. Of course, I'm of the opinion that RDJ is just wearing lifts for his job, to look taller on screen, and that he's fine with his height and his body in real life. If his height really does bother him, though? That might bug me. Short guys can be sexy! They just have to own it. …OK, now that I'm looking at some photos of his red carpet kicks… yeah, he's wearing really HIGH heels. Damn it, Robert! Don't go all Cruise. Own your height.

| LeAnn Rimes shockingly spends time with a “friend” in Aspen, Colorado Posted: 29 Dec 2011 07:33 AM PST
A while ago, CB and I issued a temporary ban on LeAnn Rimes and Brandi Glanville stories, just because the commenting and bitching back-and-forth was getting a little cray-cray. Eventually, we returned to covering them, and many commenters made a concerted effort to dial down the crazy. But it has returned. So, this is your notice – please dial it down. Please don't expound with pro or anti-LeAnn conspiracy theories and bully and mock other people who don't share your views. Ordinarily, I would be fine with just letting you guys work it out however you want, but there have been complaints, and even I think you guys are going overboard. You can still snipe and bitch about these C-list celebrities, but just dial down the commenter-on-commenter hate. Mostly, I don't want to do a temporary ban on LeAnn stories because I actually enjoy writing about her and her insanity. We have new photos of LeAnn in Aspen – with a FRIEND! LeAnn has FRIENDS, y'all! Here she is, walking around Aspen in a pair of ill-fitting hot pink ski pants with an actual, honest-to-God female friend. Who is this girl? How does maintain a friendship with someone like LeAnn? She must be exhausted. Also – LeAnn made sure that the paparazzi got some photos of her and Eddie kissing in public. You can see them here. They look super-posed. Oh, and I checked LeAnn's Twitter to see if she was having any hissy fits in Aspen, and I couldn't find anything scandalous. But! She tweeted something about meeting Perry Farrell!!!!! Jesus take the wheel. Perry Farrell, Rock God, Jane's Addiction, etc. THAT Perry Farrell. And LeAnn met him. Ugh.

| Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively “love to sit at home & cuddle” with their cupcakes Posted: 29 Dec 2011 07:29 AM PST
We all know what's going down with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. We know because Blake wants us to know, and because Ryan is to hypnotized by Blake's biscuits to care about her famewhore ways right now. Blake and Ryan (RAKE) spent Thanksgiving together. They shacked up in Boston together. They're apartment-hunting in NYC. They vacationed with Muffy & Boomer in Connecticut. They go to ice cream socials and little out-of-the-way bed & breakfasts, where they are photographed mid-makeout session. And now they've spent Christmas together in Canada. Us Weekly SOMEHOW managed to get all of the details:
[From Us Weekly, print edition] "They love to sit at home and cuddle." Just gag me. I know, I know. I'm often accused of thinking, talking and writing like a dude, but really, Ryan needs a much butcher image than cuddlefesting with his Gossip Girl. That being said, I get it. Blake is really putting some effort into this relationship, and I do believe that she and Ryan are truly loved up, in every sense. Now, do I believe that "Scarlett treated Ryan badly, so he loves the comfort that Blake provides"? Eh. I think Ryan is one of those guys who likes "traditional" girls. He wants a girlfriend/wife who will make a fuss over him, cook for him, drop everything to be with him, and act like he's the center of her universe. Bless her heart, Scarlett didn't do that. Blake is playing along, though.

| Ryan Gosling “sings covers of Eva Mendes’ favorite songs & sends them to her” Posted: 29 Dec 2011 06:51 AM PST
About a month ago, I discussed the working theory I had about Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes, and I was surprised with how many of you cosigned. My theory is basically that Ryan realized that he had spent the last year taking many, MANY women to "Disneyland" (in his pants) and he was starting to seem like a Gerard Butler-esque womanizer. So Ryan decided that he just needed to settle down for a bit, have a real girlfriend and a real relationship, just so he wouldn't destroy his fanbase of women who think he's boyfriend material (when really he's just one-night-stand material). So, Ryan and Eva Mendes happened. And they keep happening, in public. We're getting lots of tabloid stories about Eva and Ryan being loved up (Ryan thinks Eva is The One!), and Ryan and Eva even did a Funny or Die video together:
So, it's not like they're being low-key. Every photo agency got pics of their saunter around Paris during Thanksgiving, and *somebody* is really trying to get and maintain interest in Gosling and Mendes as a couple. Anyway, this Us Weekly story is just a little thing, but it really annoyed me to see Ryan and Eva described as "private". Bitch, please.
[From Us Weekly, print edition] "He even sings covers of her favorite songs and sends them to her." OMG. Gosling is That Guy. AAAARRRGH. NO. I would have fallen for that move when I was 18 years old. Eva is two decades past that, and she's still falling for it? Dear God, how drunk is she? And now I think less of Gosling, taping himself making cover versions of "I've Had the Time of My Life" whilst wearing his hipster ensembles, sitting beside his mohawked, hipster dog on a retro bean bag. Gosling is That Guy. That Guy needs to sack up and move beyond these "I'm the cool RA that all of the freshman girls have a crush on" moves. You're 31 years old, Ryan. You are not the cool RA.

| Kate Bosworth & Michael Polish are still loved up, five months after Alex Skarsgard Posted: 29 Dec 2011 06:19 AM PST
These are some new "candid" photos of Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish, her boyfriend of some-odd five months or so. The Bos and Polish were photographed together just DAYS after Kate and Alex Skarsgaard announced their split this past July. After all of the bitching and moaning about The Bos and Alex and how she was clinging to him and he was too good for her, it really does seem like Kate played Skarsgard. It seems like she was screwing around on Alex with Michael Polish, who directed her in Big Sur earlier this year. And for what it's worth, I think Kate seems much, much happier with Michael Polish too. She's got a boyfriend who holds her hand on the red carpet and agrees to these kinds of staged "candid" photo-ops every month or so. A few months ago, Kate was even describing Michael as her "life partner" too. You know what? I think this one might actually stick. I could see Kate marrying him, for real. And it wouldn't even be the worst move. She would be the wife of a critically acclaimed director. She would get to sell her wedding photos, maybe. She could set herself up like Nicole Richie, doing clothing and jewelry lines without the blatant try-hard hustle. Oh, and Michael has a daughter from a previous relationship too, so Kate would get to be a step-mother too. I can totally see this happening, and I find myself respecting Kate's trajectory over the past year. She went from "much-hated girlfriend of a hot, breakthrough actor" to "low-key girlfriend of a respected director." Good gig. Also, I think she might have gained 2 or 3 pounds, and it looks good on her.

| Life & Style: Pippa Middleton worries that she will never get married Posted: 29 Dec 2011 04:40 AM PST
Ah, Pippa Middleton got a tabloid cover. Huzzah? Not so much. It's Life & Style, and it's about Pippa's love life or lack there of. Last we heard from Pippa, she was engaging in some Three's Company shenanigans with two filthy rich roommates, JJ Jardine Patterson and George Percy, both of them ex-boyfriends, and both of them seemingly "up" for some Pippa Play. Still, I guess the British and American tabloids want Pippa to conform to some kind of "virginal sweetheart" and/or "Miss Lonelyhearts" image. In reality, I think Pippa is just an ambitious party girl who likes attention and wants to snag the richest dude with the best title.
[From Life & Style] She's only 28! And I hope Pippa knows that her sister's nine-year-WAIT was the exception to the rule, and that Pippa should not play that particular game, pining away for a man for nearly a decade, putting every part of your life on hold in your quest for the ring. And now everyone acts like Kate had the right idea – she's the exception, I'm telling you. Anyway, Pippa will find her way. She's ambitious, she's Uptradey, she has contacts, an unlimited supply of coats and she has a cute ass. I'm not worried – Pippa will find someone, and he'll be super-rich and connected too.

| Did Nikki Reed just call Robert Pattinson a liar & confirm a feud with Kristen Stewart? Posted: 29 Dec 2011 04:37 AM PST
Seventeen released a behind-the-scenes video of Nikki’s interview and photoshoot (above) and she gives some totally unremarkable comments about what she’ll miss about her Twilight costars. She says that Kristen Stewart makes good desserts, that Robert Pattinson tells elaborate stories and is a “good storyteller,” that Taylor Lautner has a lot of energy, and that Kellan Lutz is a goofball. Ashley Greene gives her workout tips and fashion advice (I get the impression that she’s a mini-Goop) and Jackson Rathbone jams out with her now-husband, former AI contestant Paul McDonald. So everything Nikki said was diplomatic and my impression of her as a nice person was confirmed. If you read between the lines on what she said in the actual interview she may be hinting at some kind of issues with her costars. She said (and we covered this a while ago) that “success comes along and changes the dynamic. We're not all best friends, and we're not all going to hang out together after the final movie is done.” She also claimed in that video interview that what she’ll miss about Twilight is the time at the beginning of filming, when everything was innocent. HollywoodLife claims that in this video Nikki disses Robert Pattinson as a liar and confirms a feud with him and his now-girlfriend, Kristen Stewart. GossipCop calls them out for drawing spurious conclusions, and I agree that they’re really reaching with that one. That doesn’t mean that there’s no feud though. Quick background: Rumor has it that Nikki dated Robert Pattinson before Kristen Stewart and that Kristen and Nikki were friends back then. Kristen had another boyfriend at the beginning of filming, who was also friends with Nikki prior to when Kristen dumped him and hooked up with Robert. (Not necessarily in that order and more background is here.) So there’s probably bad blood there but I doubt they’re seething at each behind the scenes. I think the most telling thing in Seventeen, though, is this first person work of “fiction” Nikki wrote about a young girl in love with a charismatic guy who convinced her that they should keep their romance a secret:
[From Seventeen, written by Nikki Reed] That to me is way more revealing than the fact that she called Robert a good story teller. She’s married at this point, so you would think she’d be over this though. Maybe that explains why she got married so quickly in the first place. Nikki is shown on 11/14, 11/15 and 11/16.
