Charlie Sheen claims he’s no longer crazy “that was an episode” Posted: 09 Jan 2012 09:35 AM PST The fact that Charlie Sheen now has some kind of sitcom coming up on FX, despite all the truly insane things he said and did less than a year ago, is a testament to the power of the almighty dollar. I was just going over our archives on this guy, and if someone would have told me that any celebrity would have gone so spectacularly off the rails and been so public about it, I wouldn’t have believed it. Not only did he rant and rave at everyone, he gave countless interviews, he videotaped himself ranting, he made it into a live tour, and he capitalized on his memes with t-shirts and Twitter endorsements. It was kind of mind blowing, but it definitely got old and then he went away for a while. In the interim he landed this sitcom gig based on the Anger Management movie, and now he’s back. Well Charlie wants us all to know that he’s totally sane now that he’s back on TV and that he was just going through something, which he calls “episode”: “I’m not crazy any more. That was an episode,” Sheen says, laughing, as he spoke with reporters at Sunday night’s Fox Network Television Critics Association party in Pasadena, Calif. “I think I’m a different person than I was yesterday. Everything is a lot more mellow and focused and much more rooted in reality.” Sheen, 46, couldn’t be more Zen about his new FX show, Anger Management, in which he will star and produce. He reports that casting is underway and that they will shoot 10 episodes in six weeks. “I’ve been at this 30 years. It’s nice to be in a situation where the people I’m working with are excited about my input. That wasn’t the case for a long time,” Sheen says. Of late, Sheen says instead of sounding off on Twitter, “I’ve been spending a lot of time with the kids, a lot of time with the family and I’m getting back into work mode,” adding that he is goddess-free these days. “I’m a single guy hanging out with my children.” Asked if he has been in contact with his former Two and a Half Men costar Jon Cryer, or producer Chuck Lorre, Sheen says, “Jon and I text. Chuck, no, but at some point we are going to have to get some closure there.” His opinion of his TV character’s funeral, which opened the sitcom’s new season last September, now that it stars Ashton Kutcher? “It was a little bizarre to watch your own funeral. It was a little mean-spirited. But it's dead and buried now, right?” While Sheen says it’s “premature” to name the celebrities who would like to make cameo appearances on his new show, he says “everybody” wants to take part. [From People] Maybe he’s no longer on a manic drug-induced high, but I bet it will be just a matter of time before he’s back on the sauce, if he isn’t already and is just maintaining. He claimed to have been sober through the power of his mind and not through any program that he refused to attend. He probably thinks he can still handle it without a problem. The last time I saw him interviewed, with his ex Brooke Mueller on ET, he was wasted but still able to speak clearly. You couldn’t say as much for Brooke since she was mumbling. So where does the drug abuse end and the crazy begin for Charlie, or is it just a big blur at this point? Does “no longer crazy” just mean he’s trying to stay sober during working hours?

Brad Pitt’s knee injury story keeps changing: why is this a conspiracy? Posted: 09 Jan 2012 08:55 AM PST I'm trying to use different photos of Brangelina in Palm Springs – different from the ones I used in yesterday's Brangelina post. I still think Angelina looks a tad knocked up, but I could just be misreading her love of sack gowns. Anyway, as we've already documented extensively, Brad Pitt is walking with a cane now. While he was in Palm Springs, he talked to various media outlets and basically said that he took a tumble and messed up his knee because he was trying to avoid dropping Vivienne, but the circumstances seem to be changing. Angelina backs up his story, sort of. But I feel a conspiracy coming on…. It’s all Viv’s fault! Brad Pitt was rocking a cane at the Palm Springs Film Film Festival gala on Saturday night — and he finally explained the injury (first revealed late last week) on the red carpet to Us Weekly. “I was carrying my daughter [Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 3] down the hill and I slipped and it was either her or me,” Pitt, 48, told Us. “It’s my ACL,” he added of the knee injury, but added that no surgery is planned. “I think I will be alright!” At his side at the event, love Angelina Jolie was quick to tell reporters that he’s not asking for extra help around the house because of the injury. “He is not that kind of guy,” the In the Land of Blood and Honey director, 36, said. “He does everything! I like the cane!” And little Vivienne (twin sister to Knox) is no worse for the wear either. “Vivi’s okay. She was absolutely fine. He took the fall.” Jolie similarly hurt herself years ago with her eldest, Maddox, 10. “It happened when Mad was younger. I took a fall as well and cracked my elbow because I wanted to make sure he wasn’t injured,” Jolie said. “Every parent has injured themselves.” Among their six kids, the child of the weekend was Zahara, who turned 7 on Sunday. “We are focusing on birthday parties tomorrow for Zahara,” Jolie added. [From Us Weekly] They call her "Vivi"? Like, Vee-Vee or Viv-E? I prefer Viv-E. It's cuter. As for the ever-changing story on Brad's knee, Angelina explained it again to Fox News: "We are building different parts of the lawn, and he was going down to see it, and the grass was changing levels, and he slipped. In order to make sure [Vivienne] was okay he threw himself down to protect her. He did the dad thing." What about the skiing story? HM? I'm telling you… CONSPIRACY. Did they ever really go skiing? Did Brad really fall while he was holding Viv? Which home were they in? Where is this mysterious yard? Or did Angelina bust a cap in Brad's knee when he misbehaved? Or did Brad bust his knee while he was praying for Jennifer Aniston to come back to him? See? Conspiracies. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Elin Woods is building almost the same house she had torn down Posted: 09 Jan 2012 08:27 AM PST When we covered the news that Tiger Woods’ ex had torn down a 1932 waterfront home that she had purchased for $12 million, your responses were mixed. Some of you thought that it was incredibly wasteful to demolish an historical home that surely included irreplaceable features, especially to build what is likely to be a mcmansion. Others of you noted that she attempted to renovate at first before deciding to wreck the place and start over. It’s possible that some damage was discovered that couldn’t be worked around. Plus she’s stimulating the local economy by hiring so many people. However you feel about it, it’s very common for the obscenely rich to demolish perfectly good homes and rebuild to their exact specifications. Well TMZ has the news from Elin’s builder that the old home had termites and wasn’t built to withstand hurricanes, which are a definite concern in South Florida. That makes her decision a little more understandable to me, but I’m still leaning in the “wasteful” direction. It’s easy enough to say it wasn’t up to code or that it had termites. Plus the home she’s building in its place looks a lot like the original if you just go by the blueprints that were submitted. Here’s more: Elin Nordegren is SO rich — she’s basically building a replica of the multimillion dollar estate she knocked down. TMZ has obtained renderings Elin submitted to the Palm Beach County Dept. of Planning, Zoning & Building. Compare the exterior elevation drawing with the pic of the house that was on the $12 million property before Elin razed it. Both are traditional/colonial homes with a very similar shape. The drawing looks similar to the 9,000 square foot house that was demolished. Elin’s builder told PEOPLE the house Elin 86′d was 90 years old, didn’t meet code provisions to withstand hurricanes, and was infested with termites. Of course, the house Elin builds will be a brand spanking new. The supporting documents describe the house in detail. – 9 bedrooms – 2 large living rooms – huge formal dining room – 2 kitchens – large pool – GROTTO!!! – pool cabana with HUGE living room – 2 jacuzzis – detached guest house with 3 bedrooms – 3 guest bungalows – wine cellar – ginormous master wing with crazy big walk in closet – basement that runs the entire length of the house There’s 120 feet of retaining walls, and they are bringing in 4100 cubic yards of soil — which is an enormous amount. County officials have sent the architect back to the drawing board for some changes before the plans will be approved. [From TMZ] This news didn’t change my opinion of her, which is basically that she’s got a ton of money now so she’s spending it like a Kardashian. It’s one thing to be well off and to comfortably enjoy it. It’s quite another to spend millions on a huge home like that, just because you can. How much do you really need? I know that’s a slippery slope argument, like “why have anything nice when we can get by with the basics?” but when we’re talking about this level of consumption it just seems so ridiculous to me. Update: Thanks to those of you that pointed out that Elin donated materials from the demolished house, about $300,000 worth, to Habitat for Humanity. The Orlando Sun Sentinel reports that “Nordegren gave the deconstruction crew plenty of time, about six weeks, to remove items from the house. That allowed the crew to work at a pace that maximized the value — he estimated it at more than $300,000 — of what was removed.” Good for her, I’m definitely changing my opinion with that news.

Did Beyonce & Jay-Z name their baby girl after one of Jay’s ex-girlfriends? Posted: 09 Jan 2012 06:37 AM PST Beyonce and Jay-Z's name choice for their little princess caused some of us consternation yesterday, when the birth and the baby name was announced. Sources claimed the baby girl was named either Blue Ivy or Ivy Blue Carter. At this point, it's pretty much confirmed that the name is Blue Ivy… which… okay, I understand why people are rolling their eyes about it, but just think for a minute about how bad the name could have been. When compared to my guess of Princess BeyJay Déjà Vu Knowles-Carter, Blue Ivy sounds rather nice, right? So, what significance does the name have? Allegedly, it’s all about Bey and Jay and what’s significant to them. Unless you believe that Jay named his baby after an ex-girlfriend. He dated Blu Cantrell before Beyonce! But that’s not the official story. Beyonce and Jay-Z’s baby girl Blue Ivy Carter arrived Saturday, and while little girls are customarily pretty in pink, this baby is also being surrounded by touches of blue. This was the case over the holidays, when, in anticipation of the baby’s birth, the parents-to-be sent pals blue Christmas gifts, a source tells PEOPLE. Sources and fans suggest the couple chose the name “Ivy” because of the number 4 or Roman numeral IV, which is significant in Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s relationship. Beyoncé’s birthday is Sept. 4, while Jay-Z’s is Dec. 4; the two married on April 4 in 2008; they reportedly have matching “IV” tattoos on their wedding fingers; and Beyoncé named her latest album 4. And the significance of the baby’s first name, Blue? Well, Jay-Z has three albums with the word “blueprint” in their titles: The Blueprint was released in 2001; The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse, in 2002; and The Blueprint 3, in 2009. In lyrics, Jay-Z has rarely been coy about proclaiming himself the best rapper ever. “I’m the Blueprint, I’m like the map for ‘em,” he said in “A Star Is Born,” from The Blueprint 3. Fans have also chimed in on the name. “Blueprint was the hottest album ever sold by Jay-Z! their child’s name makes a lot of sense!” Tweeted @kisssmyDIAMONDS And Tweeted @omgitsralph: “There’s a meaning in Ivy Blue. IVy = a roman numeral for 4 which is Beyoncé’s favorite number and BLUE for Jay-Z’s Blueprint albums. Wow.” Perhaps at some point the parents will make clear why they chose the name. Until then, there’s one thing the family is clear about, as proud aunt Solange declared on Twitter on Sunday. Blue Ivy, she said, is “the most beautiful girl in the world.” [From People] Once again… I don't hate the rationale for naming the kid Blue Ivy. I almost get it, if they really did name their baby after a color that has had significance to Jay, and after "IV" for "four". At least they have an actual argument based on their shared history for the baby name. Unlike, say, Apple Martin or Pilot Inspektor or Kal-el Cage/Coppola. I'm just saying, there's a lot of be critical of regarding this whole "birth" thing, so I'm not spending any of my eye-rolls on the baby name. Meanwhile, Solange totally tweeted about her new niece, "the most beautiful girl in the world.” It will definitely be interesting to see who the baby takes after, Jay or… the surrogate? A "family friend" tells Media Takeout that the baby has Jay's nose, ears and mouth." Aw, that's kind of cute. Dame Gwyneth Paltrow also deigned to tweet about her BFF's baby, writing, "Welcome to the world, Blue. We love you already!” Us Weekly also reports that Jay was seen walking the halls of Lenox Hill Hospital looking "happy." And Bey's parents Tina and Mathew were seen at the hospital as well, holding "flowers with pink balloons and silver and black ribbons." My Conspiracy Radar is still in overdrive. Anyone else? This one chick claims that Beyonce's surrogate had the baby last month. Fascinating. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Charlize Theron looks “off” in Palm Springs: did she get fillers & lip injections? Posted: 09 Jan 2012 04:59 AM PST Here are some photos of Charlize Theron at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Saturday. Young Adult picked up an Ensemble Award, and Charlize and Patton Oswalt were on hand to pick up their trophies. Charlize's dress is Lanvin (Spring 2012 dress), and that's not a full slit down to the bottom of the dress – it's a cut-out! Isn't that weird? It's a strange design detail, I think. And only a woman with Charlize's figure could really pull it off. But really, we need to talk about this: And this: Apparently, there have been rumors about Charlize Theron's alleged plastic surgery for a while. I've never really thought her face looked "off" until the past few months, though. Here's what I think happened: Charlize took a few years off, hung out, recovered from her breakup with Stuart Townsend, and then she filmed Young Adult. When it came time to begin promoting the film, Charlize went in for some "minor" cosmetic work, like some lip injections, maybe some Botox or just a slight amount of fillers. The work made her appear slightly puffy on some red carpets, and it gave the lower half of her face a weird stiffness. I don't think this is the product of surgery, and I hope that Charlize stops doing whatever she's doing. Her whole upper lip looks completely "off" to me. And she looks high as a kite, on top of all of that. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Duchess Kate in lace Temperley at the ‘War Horse’ premiere: lovely or doily? Posted: 09 Jan 2012 04:47 AM PST Happy 30th birthday, Duchess Kate! To celebrate her birthday eve, Kate walked the red carpet with her husband last night in London for the UK premiere of Steven Spielberg's War Horse. War Horse is based on an acclaimed and beloved English play, and they probably shot a great deal of the film in the UK too – Spielberg and the British Film Council go waaaaaay back. Plus, it's a movie about a horse, so of course the British royalty came out. Fun fact: did you know that Duchess Kate is allergic to horses? True story. Here's another fun fact: one of the stunt horses used in the film, "Joey", walked the red carpet as well. Kate wore this black and white lace Alice Temperley gown for the premiere… thoughts on the dress? You know how I feel about lace and/or crochet dresses. A little goes a long way, and a lot will make you look like a doily. Somehow, Kate managed to avoid the "doily effect" even though this is much, much too much lace for one dress. I think it comes close to working because the black lace isn't too heavy or intricate, and you can see the white slip/sheath part very clearly. Plus, the dress is cut very well. Basically, it's not my favorite (far from it), but I don't think Kate looks bad at all. Should we even talk about her hair and makeup? Her hair is always down. It gets boring, especially for formal events and evening events, which traditionally demand more of a "style" rather than just big sausage-roll curls hanging down in her face. As for the makeup – well, the only time Kate's too-heavy raccoon eye makeup ever looks appropriate is when she's at a formal occasion. On this red carpet, her makeup looks fine. It's when she does it for daywear and low-key events that it looks terrible. Oh, and it seems like William is dominating the umbrella, right? Poor Kate! It probably took her hair stylist hours to do those perfect sausage rolls, and all for naught! PS… I'm including a photo of Benedict Cumberbatch at the premiere, just in case we get some Cumberbitch/Waity-defender crossover fans. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Michael Fassbender wants a woman with “intelligence, self-confidence” Posted: 09 Jan 2012 04:35 AM PST OMGOMGOMG. New Michael Fassbender photos! HUZZAH. Unfortunately, we only have the cover shot for Michael's Interview Magazine cover profile (for February '12), but I did get my hands on some scans from Fassy's GQ UK (February) cover profile. The photo shoot isn't balls-out, Fassy-is-coming-and-his-beast-will-wreck-you, but they definitely get the job done. I love the extreme closeup of his jaw line. Sigh… this man. I can't even. I also got the chance to read the full GQ UK interview, which was okay. It's a pretty standard-issue piece about how awesome he is (true story), and how he's a man's man who just happens to be insanely gorgeous, and a throw-back to stars like Marlon Brando. The best parts of the interview have already been excerpted – that's the stuff about "the beast within" and "wrecking the sweetshop". But here are a few more highlights: Unlike other stars, Fassbender looks and acts his age. Even on screen. It's refreshing. He has worry lines on his forehead, confesses to a loathing for plastic surgery, and has zero dedication to maintaining "some kind of image." *** So what of his love life? Wasn't he dating Zoe Kravtiz, daughter of the man with the worst dress sense in rock, for a while? As I ask about the actor's dalliances, just for a second, I catch the fuse in those blue, surgical, lamp-bright eyes, trip. "I'm quite a romantic person and I love the idea of having a family. But I'd have to take a step back out of this. It's not fair on somebody to be waiting for you. You spend long periods of time apart and then when I am here, I'm working. I find it difficult to do both and to give that other person the right amount of attention and time they deserve." …What is it he looks for in a woman? "Intelligence, self-confidence in one's own skin. If a girl is slightly overweight, or you know, if she's comfortable in herself, living life the way she wants to like it, I find that sexy and attractive. If somebody is the perfect mould, but she's not enjoying herself, than I find it sad and unsexy." [From GQ UK, print edition] So, basically, Fassy will only unleash the beast and wreck your motherf–king sweetshop if you are a confident woman, and he'll give special consideration to a big-booty ho. LIKE ME. I really did feel like he was speaking just to me. I also feel like he was telling me that I need to prepare myself for years of following him around as he goes from job to job, just so he can give me the time and attention he thinks I deserve. Right? That's what he was saying just to me, right? Photos courtesy of Interview Mag & GQ UK.

Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux spent holidays in Telluride, not the beach?!? Posted: 09 Jan 2012 04:25 AM PST Throughout last fall, the tabloids were constantly full of speculation that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were totally going to get married over the holidays. Some said it would be a beach wedding in Cabo with Chelsea Handler as the maid of honor or something. Some said it would be a beach wedding in Hawaii, with a pig on a spit taking the place of Chelsea, I guess. Some said it would even be a beachy shindig in LA, or perhaps even a beach-themed NYC wedding. Well, none of it came to pass. The surprising part is that it doesn't even seem like Aniston and Theroux were anywhere near a beach over the holidays! What's going on with Jen? That bitch has changed! And I kind of like it. Baby, it’s cold outside! Despite the chilly temps, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux kept things hot in Colorado for the first week of 2012! A source tells Us Weekly the duo vacationed in a 13,300 square foot private residence in the Mountain Village outside the town of Telluride — where they were first spotted Dec. 31. “They had a group of friends [that left] Monday,” the source tells Us. “Justin and Jen [stayed] until Thursday. They had a ski instructor every day.” “[Jennifer] gets up [and] goes skiing,” adds the source. “Pretty much [she's] camped out at the house, keeping a low profile.” Another source tells Us that Aniston, 42, and pal Chelsea Handler took a ski lesson together. [From Us Weekly] Jennifer Aniston?!? SKIING?!? Wonders never cease. As much as I think the circumstances surrounding their coupling were sketchy, I think that Justin might end up being a good influence on Jennifer. He gets her out of comfort zone, she's trying new things, she's mixing it up, and she seems like a different (less pity-party-having) woman these days. I've also extended my timeline for them as a couple. Five months ago, I was thinking that JustJen wouldn't make it much further than this Spring. Now I'm thinking that they may make it all the way through 2012. Justin is definitely playing a different game than Jennifer's usual boyfriends. Photos courtesy of WENN & Fame.

Mila Kunis in purple Elie Saab at the St. Jude’s event: lovely or fug? Posted: 09 Jan 2012 04:25 AM PST Over the weekend, there was an benefit gala event for the fiftieth anniversary of St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, and several big stars came out. The headliner seemed to be… Mila Kunis? Does that sound right? Well, Mila got most of the attention on the red carpet. She wore Elie Saab, surprisingly enough – because she's the newest face of Dior, I would have expected her to wear all-Dior, all the time nowadays. But Mila has an existing relationship with the Elie Saab people, and she ended up in this weird purple dress that I don't really care for. The "lace up" detail along the bust is… odd? Fug? And I hate the fabric fringe at the waist. It makes the dress look unfinished. Still, it's hard to hate that gorgeous face. Also at the event: The Hamm Dong. It's been so long since I've written about Jon Hamm! There are rarely new photos of him, and I feel like it's been years since Mad Men. The new season starts on… MARCH 25th!!!! Son of a bitch. I thought they said it would start this month? AMC A–HOLES!!!! So, basically, I'm not going to get my fix of Draper Dong for another two and a half months? And to make matters worse, The Hamm was trying to hide his bulge from the cameras at the St. Jude's event. So uncool, dude. This is the reason Michael Fassbender has taken control of my loins. It's because I needed something in The Hamm's absence. God, Jason Bateman looks sexy with a beard. His wife is super-cute too, but look at HIS BEARD. I would tear that up. Elisabeth Moss… hair issues. I don't like the dress that much either, but this poor girl and her hair issues. My wish for her in 2012 is that she finds a really great hair stylist and never lets him go. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Kim Kardashian cryptically throws shade at Amber Rose on Twitter Posted: 09 Jan 2012 04:24 AM PST These are some new photos of Kim Kardashian walking with a friend in Beverly Hills, and I'm also including some photos of Kim and Khloe at the Dallas Mavericks game from a few days ago – Kim went to Dallas to visit Khloe, and they went to one of Lamar's games together. Anyway, this should just prove how slow it is today. I don't want to be writing about Kim Kardashian. But I am. So I might as well commit. First, someone (side-eye at everyone) tweeted to Kim that she looked "fat". Kim tweeted back, "I will start QuickTrim ASAP then geez!" When Kendall then called Kim a "skinny princess," Kim replied, "I’m JOKING! I could care less! They are probably 500 lbs." So… what I got from this was that even though Kim endorses QuickTrim, she doesn't actually use it, and when someone calls her fat, she'll only "joke" about using QuickTrim and then continue claiming that she’s a SIZE 2?! But here's what I really want to talk about – the Amber Rose stuff. Amber Rose dated Kanye for… whatever, like a year or more. It was around the same time that Kim and Reggie Bush were together. Amber went to Star Magazine and told them that during that time period, Kim was screwing around on Reggie with Kanye. Amber said: "They were both cheating. They were both cheating on me and Reggie with each other." Amber also claims that Reggie knew at the time, and he was going to have words with Kanye. And she claims she knew at the time because she saw some "racy" photos that Kim sent Kanye. Amber said she "confronted" Kim (she doesn't say how): "She was sending pictures, and I was like, 'Kim, just stop. Don't be that person.' I thought at least she'd be woman enough to respond to me. She never responded." Well, Kim finally responded, cryptically of course. Kim tweeted the other day: "Remember, people only rain on your parade because they’re jealous of your sun & tired of their shade." Kim is SO WISE. Photos courtesy of WENN.
