| Kate Beckinsale in a tight sequin dress on Letterman: overdone or gorgeous? Posted: 11 Jan 2012 08:45 AM PST
In terms of how I feel about her, I’m basically neutral. She seems to get papped a disproportionate amount to her level of fame, and I’m sure she sets up candids. She’s not offensive in any way, but I do find her a bit phony. She’s overrated, I guess that sums it up for me. Here are some recent photos of her. She looks like Posh, right? So perfectly put together. Somewhat put out to be photographed in transit, but not really.

| Us Weekly: Justin Timberlake will totally cheat on Jessica Biel – again Posted: 11 Jan 2012 08:36 AM PST
Some of you took issue with my claim that Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are engaged "officially" after Us Weekly ran the story with some unnamed sources confirming. I stand by it, though. Jessica's tabloids of choice are Us Weekly and People Magazine – her publicist is always dropping stories about how Jessica is so beautiful and how all of the dudes that meet Jessica just fall all over themselves in her presence. So… I believe that they're engaged. I just don't know WHY they're engaged. And Us Weekly doesn't know either. After denying Biel and Timberlake's engagement the cover story last week, Us Weekly decided to give them the cover this week, but it's not some happy celebration. Us Weekly is just calling Justin Timberlake a cheater, flat-out, and they're making Jessica sound like… a doormat? A shrew? Whatever it is, it isn't flattering. What do you make of the cover lines, "Do cheaters ever change" and "It took a bitter breakup and Jessica's ultimatum before Timberlake finally proposed. Now her friends worry he'll break her heart." YIKES. By the way, Us Weekly was also Olivia Munn's tabloid of choice when she (I mean, an "unnamed source close to Olivia Munn") wanted to go public with her affair with JT. I think it was Olivia's attempt to get Justin and Jessica to breakup, so Justin would be free to be her (Olivia's) girlfriend – you should totally go back and read those stories, just for a refresher. Jessica has already put up with so much crap from JT. And I'm still mystified as to A) Why Justin even proposed when it seems like he can barely stand to be in the same room with Jessica and B) Why Jessica agreed to this scheme that really doesn't benefit her in the long run, you know?

| Did Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama finally (hopefully) break up? Posted: 11 Jan 2012 08:36 AM PST
Have I ever mentioned before how predatory Wilmer Valderrama appears to the naked eye? I mean, he’s so notorious that there should really be a show called, “To Catch A Wilmer.” Yet the dude is so crafty and keen to not actually cross that line, so he goes for the barely-legal Disney types. And he might be pretty hard to physically catch given his tendency to be snapped by the paparazzi while out for a run as he was here in Miami in mid December.
Anyway, Wilmer loves to snatch up vulnerable girls when they’re riding high from their respective Disney affiliations but have yet to prove themselves in other career capacities. It’s like a convenient downdraft before the perfect storm of Wilmer manipulation. He famously dated Lindsay Lohan in 2004 right when she started to get into big trouble and ended up randomly hospitalized for “exhaustion” and whatnot. Then he went inactive and undetected for awhile before setting his sights on Demi Lovato and proceeding to screw up her fragile mind. The two have gone a few rounds in the on-again, off- again, baby-come-back ring, and it’s all been such a terrible idea considering Demi is in recovery for an eating disorder and other emotional issues. Now it appears that Demi and Wilmer may have broken up yet again, if clues from her Twitter are to be believed:
[From E! Online] I hope they’re done for good and that Demi doesn’t want Wilmer back. Oddly enough, she has been flirting a bit via Twitter with Pete Wentz:
Pete isn’t so bad, really. Even if he is a bit douchey, he’s much more worthy of dating than Wilmer. Ugh, Wilmer is just so reprehensible, and now the dude’s gotten his claws into Joe Jonas. The question remains though — will Joe be Wilmer’s next victim?

| Jennifer Aniston expected Justin to propose over the holidays, but he didn’t Posted: 11 Jan 2012 08:01 AM PST
A few days ago, we had a slow-burning and ultimately "controversial" post about how Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux spent their holidays. Apparently, they were together in Telluride, Colorado, where they took ski lessons every day and had a low-key and enjoyable time. I actually praised Jennifer for mixing it up – her holidays are usually spent on the beach, and I think it's nice that she can change it up for her new boyfriend. However, in the lead-up to the holidays, the tabloids were all focused on how Jennifer and Justin were totally going to get engaged and/or elope. According to a new report, even Jennifer was expecting a proposal from Justin over Christmas. But she didn't get one – he gave her a purse!!!
[From Hollywood Life] Ah, I see. They spent Christmas in NYC and then went to Telluride after Christmas. And someone saw Justin leave Aniston's apartment for a brief moment, thus "Justin was so disgusted with the way Jen reacted that he hopped on his motorcycle and went to stay a friends apartment in NYC's Lower East Side." Look, I'm guessing they're fine. Maybe they did have a fight – everybody fights during the holidays. Always. And while I would love to receive a purse as a gift, you probably shouldn't give your lover (the woman who you left your girlfriend of 14 years for) a purse for Christmas. It should at least be some kind of jewelry. Just to play devil's advocate on Justin's side though – I could totally see him struggling against Jennifer's makeover. All the men that she gets serious with struggle against her makeovers. She treats boyfriends like Barbie dolls. Justin and Jennifer were out together last night too, so I doubt they're having huge problems or anything. You can see a photo here.

| How did Blake Lively get a lead role in a Steven Soderbergh movie? Posted: 11 Jan 2012 07:26 AM PST
After all of this time, after all of the man-dangling, the baits, the switches, the famewhorin', the photo ops, the details dropped into tabloids – it's all paid off. Blake Lively has something tangible! She got the lead role in a movie! And not some Sisterhood of the Gossip Girls movie either. Blake Lively got the lead role in Steven Soderbergh's new film, The Side Effects. Soderbergh is an Oscar-winning director known for his established relationships with A-listers like George Clooney, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts. Soderbergh has also been threatening to quit the biz, and as such, he's been cramming in a steady stream of films – his last film, Contagion, came out in September. His new film, Haywire, comes out this month. But this is about Blake. Blake got a lead role. This girl's career path hasn't always been this bright. I like to think that it was her small-but-showy supporting part in The Town that really changed her career – working "under" Ben Affleck was one of the smartest career moves for her, even though she was the weakest, mumbling link in a very strong film. She followed that up with The Green Lantern, which didn't do much at the box office, but she managed to get a boyfriend out of it, so whatever. And the last film she worked on was with Oliver Stone, a film called The Savages, where she has a supporting part. It's a BIG deal that Blake landed a lead, and with Soderbergh, no less. The Side Effects will have Blake playing Emily Hawkins, "a woman who turns to prescription meds to cope with the anxiety of the upcoming release from prison of her husband." Joining Blake – Channing Tatum, who will play her husband and Jude Law, playing her shrink. Will Soderbergh coax a great performance out of her? Will Blake officially be a movie star after this? Will she become insufferable? Will she dump Ryan and trade up for someone better and less gerbily? So many questions. Here are some new photos of Blake at work on Gossip Girl yesterday:

| Was it common knowledge that Khloe Kardashian isn’t really a Kardashian? Posted: 11 Jan 2012 07:24 AM PST
This morning, Radar has a rough story about Khloe Kardashian and her mysterious paternity. We've discussed this before – when Kris Jenner was promoting her book, she talked about the affair she had around the time that Khloe was conceived. Although Kris's timeline doesn't add up, I think we all know that she could easily be lying. Plus, it just seems like Khloe doesn't share the same genetic makeup as Kim and Kourtney. She's taller, she's lighter, and she just seems… different. Better, in my opinion, but just different. Anyway, Radar/Star's report is about how Robert Kardashian's wives (after Kris Jenner) claimed that Robert always knew that Khloe wasn't his biological daughter:
[From Radar] Wait, Robert loved Kris very much or he loved Khloe very much? Because I think Robert Kardashian probably did love Khloe very much, and even if he had suspicions about her paternity, it seems like he was happy to raise Khloe as his own kid. I come away from this feeling sorry for Khloe and her paternity drama, and I hate Kris even more. Here's a vintage photo of Khloe as a blonde – it suits her, doesn't it? I don't think she's a natural blonde, but her natural color is a lot lighter than "Kardashian brunette".

| Angelina Jolie in a stiff Michael Kors coat: gorgeous or kind-of busted? Posted: 11 Jan 2012 06:56 AM PST
In my mind, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had two great public appearances in a row, so they were due a bad showing. While I thought Angelina looked vaguely knocked up in her beige sack in Palm Springs, I also thought her hair, makeup and skin looked amazing. And then she upped her game for the New York Film Critics Circle Awards two nights ago, wearing a great combination of gauzy white and black leather, with her hair and makeup once again looking great. But last night, I feel like Brangelina faltered a bit. Brad and Angie did an appearance at a screening of In the Land of Blood and Honey in Washington, D.C. Maybe they're jet-lagged. Maybe they were up all night, boning in our nation's capital. Maybe it's just bad lighting. But they both look kind of rough to me. I'm even throwing shade on Angelina's Michael Kors coat! Usually, Angelina brings the coat pr0n. I think it's the length and seeming "stiffness" of the coat that's throwing me off. Also – I've noticed that a lot of you have been commenting on Brad's recent squintiness. Considering he's started wearing glasses in public more often, I'm assuming that his eyes are getting weaker as he ages. And as someone who has worn glasses and contacts for much of her life, let me tell you – when your eyes get used to being supported by glasses or contacts, and you go out without that support, you squint. Part of it is that you're trying to see. Part of it is that you're more sensitive to light. Or, you know, he could think that squinting makes him look cool. But I think it's just that his vision is compromised and he's still adjusting.

| Lindsay Lohan’s Philipp Plein ad campaign: busted, trashy or better than expected? Posted: 11 Jan 2012 06:28 AM PST
Here are some shots from Lindsay Lohan's ad campaign for Philipp Plein, the one that she shot in September in Italy, in between escort gigs. Allegedly, LL got paid $500,000 - for the ad campaign, and likely to "date" Philipp Plein for a week while he "promoted" her and his brand. I have to say – I saw some of the candids from this photo shoot, and my expectations were pretty low, but these aren't terrible. They're much better quality than I was expecting, except that there's only so much Photoshop that you can use to de-crackify that face. Also – look at LL's mouth in the shot where she's wearing red. You can really see her jacked crack teeth. This campaign was shot before she got her teeth "fixed." Meanwhile, LL is embroiled in a new scandal. She got high for three years and forgot to file her taxes in 2009. Oh, Cracken.
[From TMZ] She'll pay. She's got Philipp Plein and Playboy money burning a whole in her pocket, so she's got the funds. The funds will dry up, though. Very quickly. The question I have, though, is about who exactly "forgot" to file her taxes? Because you know LL has never sat down and tried to do it herself – surely she has an accountant? Surely Mother Crackhead – Linnocent's MANAGER – would be on top of stuff like "filing tax returns." Right?

| Us Weekly: Halle Berry & Olivier Martinez are engaged, he gave her an emerald ring Posted: 11 Jan 2012 06:09 AM PST
Radar, Star Magazine and Us Weekly are all claiming the same thing this morning – Halle Berry and her prisoner/boyfriend Olivier Martinez are engaged! Halle and Olivier have been photographed frequently over the past month, to the point where I was wondering if some big announcement was about to come out. My suspicion was about Halle's custody battle with Gabriel Aubry, though – I thought there was another shoe to drop with that subject. Turns out, Halle just wanted us to know that she and Olivier are loved up and engaged.
[From Us Weekly] Radar's report is pretty much the same, only they add the detail that Halle wants to have Olivier's baby too. A source tells Star/Radar: "Halle is very serious about this marriage. She's ready. Olivier has become her rock. Halle feels Olivier has made a connection and a commitment to her and her daughter. Halle would love to have more kids, but she knows it might be difficult because of her age and the fact that she's diabetic. If they can't conceive, they'd definitely consider adoption." Sure, it's all happiness and glowing and planning a baby right now. But when they break up, Halle will let us know that Olivier was an abusive, racist monster. I'm just saying – Olivier should watch his ass, because Halle does not do breakups well.

| Bruce Jenner loves cross dressing, claims Robert Kardashian’s last wife Posted: 11 Jan 2012 06:08 AM PST
[From Radar] In the video interview posted with Ellen on Radar, she tells a slightly different story about how she found out that Bruce was a cross dresser. She says that her husband Robert told her after Khloe called him up hysterical at finding a closet filled with wigs, size 13 shoes, and clothes that were too big for her mother. I consider this a kink that is totally harmless if both parties are OK with it, and I would bet that Kris definitely is. People are into all sorts of weird sh*t to get off and having my man dress up in women’s clothes seems strange to me and I probably wouldn’t continue a relationship with a cross dresser, but in no way would I shame a guy about it or blab about it to anyone but my best friend. (I would have to tell her because it would be hysterical to us, but she’s good at keeping secrets.) Chrystie was married to Bruce for 8 years, from 1972-1980, and they had two children together. It sounds like he didn’t share this side of himself until after they were married, and that it was a deal breaker for her. I think it’s weird, but I also feel sorry for Bruce that this very embarrassing news is coming out now. Of all the Kardashian Klan (apart from Khloe maybe) he seems the most harmless. You know that Kris calls the shots and Bruce is just along for the ride.
