Keanu Reeves in Berlin: is he messing with his face, or is he a vampire? Posted: 15 Feb 2012 09:12 AM PST Here’s Keanu Reeves at the Berlinale film festival promoting a film he produced, Side By Side, which is a documentary on film production – really! It’s described on IMDB as investigating “the history, process and workflow of both digital and photochemical film creation.” I’ve been watching more documentaries lately, particularly documentary television like Current.tv’s Vanguard. Although this movie sounds dry in concept it could actually be interesting. I love Keanu and want him to do well. Here’s a little more on the film and the fact that it’s been picked up for distribution. Keanu Reeves has been given a big boost as a movie producer – his latest project has been picked up for U.S. distribution days before its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in Germany. Side By Side, a documentary about the digital revolution and its impact on traditional filmmaking, features interviews with pioneering directors with James Cameron, David Fincher, George Lucas, David Lynch, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese and Steven Soderbergh. Tribeca Film bosses have announced they have acquired the North American rights to the film, which they call “a provocative and illuminating journey through the technical and aesthetic implications of the transition from traditional film to digital technology”. Produced and narrated by Reeves, who also conducted the bulk of the interviews, the film is directed by Chris Kenneally. It is expected to hit U.S. cinemas this summer (12). [From Contact Music] The Hollywood Reporter has a quote from the director, Chris Kenneally, describing the film. “Cinema is at a tipping point. Digital has challenged, and in some ways completely overturned, a process of making movies on photochemical film that has been a tradition for over one hundred years. Side by Side is an intimate conversation between Keanu and the top professionals in the industry about this revolution and its impact.” I would see it just for Keanu, especially to see him interview people in the industry. He’s such a thoughtful, decent guy and we don’t get enough of him. Let’s talk about how amazingly young Keanu looks here at 47. It might just be the fact that he’s borderline clean shaven for once, but he looks like he’s botoxed to me in that he’s so smooth and young looking still! Kaiser tells me he’s just a vampire with good genes, though, and she might be right. I guess he’s looked preternaturally young for a while and all the scruff and hair he used to have was disguising it. In the one photo (below) of him looking down while smiling you can see that he has lines and a little puffiness around his eyes. Still, he’s in Hollywood and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s doing a little something to achieve that “15 years younger” look. Maybe some laser resurfacing or something minor. Here’s my favorite part of these photos, Keanu’s beat to hell sneakers! Look at those things, it’s like he has one pair and refuses to wear any other shoes. My kid is like that, but I try to talk him into changing them up well before the shoes get to that stage. Here’s Keanu in June of last year for comparison. He sort-of looks the same, just with a beard. There’s something different about his eyes, but that could be due to the fact that he’s smiling. Photo credit: WENN.com

Kate Upton gets Blake Lively’d, critics say Kate’s too cheap & downmarket Posted: 15 Feb 2012 08:28 AM PST Yesterday, I covered Kate Upton's introduction to the big league – she garnered the cover of this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, which will likely be her biggest calling card for years to come. While I was doing five minutes of research on her, I grew to like her a little bit. She's only 19 years old, she's cute, she's blonde and she has big boobs. She's not trying to be "deep" or “high fashion” and she's not trying to convince us she's something she's not. It is what it is. Anyway, I was shocked to see that Kate has haters. The day her SI cover was revealed, the New York Times had a judgy piece full of bitchy quotes, all about how Kate isn't all that and a bag of chips. For the love of God! You can read the full piece here, and here are some highlights: There was a time, not long ago, when the surest path to modeling stardom was down the runway of a top designer's show, when it would have been unthinkable to find among the industry's top ranks a swimsuit girl whose main claims to fame were ad campaigns for Guess jeans and Beach Bunny Swimwear. But that was before social media altered the paths to fame. Unlike the many little-known beauties now on view at New York Fashion Week — women seldom identified by more than one name (Agata, Hanaa, Frida, Joan) — Kate Upton, just 19 and resembling a 1950s pinup, but with the legs of a W.N.B.A. point guard, has arrived on the scene as a largely self-created Internet phenomenon. It is not just that she has a respectable Twitter following (170,000 people at last count), or a YouTube video with over 3 million viewers, or marketing potential perhaps best measured by her rocketing from obscurity to No. 2 on a list of the world's 99 "top" women compiled by AskMen.com, an online magazine with 15 million readers. (Sofia Vergara, of the ABC sitcom "Modern Family," is No. 1.) "We all know that social media now creates its own reality," said Wayne Sterling, the publisher of Models.com, an industry Web site. "If you become a YouTube star among teenagers, you have even more recognizability than a TV star," he said. "Kate Upton is the perfect example of that." It was soon after the Dougie video went viral that a seasoned scout, David Cunningham, brought Ms. Upton to the attention of Ivan Bart of IMG Models, the company behind the multimillion-dollar careers of women like Gisele Bündchen, Ms. Klum and Kate Moss. "When Kate first came in, everyone at the agency thought I was crazy," Mr. Bart, the "superagent" who heads IMG Models, said of Ms. Upton. "She wasn't 'fashion' enough." Mr. Bart signed her anyway. And soon, to the surprise of some in the industry, Ms. Upton was being sought out for editorial sittings with people like Carine Roitfeld, the French fashion eminence known for her prophetic eye, and by Katie Grand, the influential stylist and editor of the fashion-forward British magazine Love. Wholesomely proportioned at 5 feet 11 inches with a 36-25-34 figure, Ms. Upton was a long way from the coolly robotic Eastern European beauty ideal that has dominated the catwalks for many seasons. "Kate is bigger than fashion," Mr. Bart said. "She's the Jayne Mansfield of the Internet." Those dubious about Ms. Upton's crossover potential, or of any career driven toward the stony heart of fashion from the do-it-yourself fringes of the blogosphere, include Sophia Neophitou, editor of the English style bible 10 and a creative force behind the casting of the Victoria's Secret shows. "We would never use" Ms. Upton for a Victoria's Secret show, Ms. Neophitou said by telephone last week from London. And, while Ms. Upton has, in fact, modeled on occasion for the company's catalog, her look, said Ms. Neophitou, is "too obvious" to be featured in what has become the most widely viewed runway show in the world. "She's like a Page 3 girl," Ms. Neophitou said, referring to the scantily clad voluptuous women featured in The Sun, a London tabloid. "She's like a footballer's wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy." "For a long time, fashion has been going to celebrities," Kate Upton says. "Celebrities are on the magazine covers, and nobody wanted models. But why not have a model celebrity? Why not a girl who comes with her own following? Social media brings a personality to models. That's how consumers today decide what to buy." "I studied this," added Ms. Upton, a Michigan native who was raised in Melbourne, Fla., and who began work at 15, spending her first few years toiling in the lucrative but unglamorous salt mines of catalog modeling. What Ms. Upton learned was that before Ms. Bündchen grew Angel wings and became Mrs. Tom Brady and a business impresario overseeing a multimillion-dollar empire built on the licensing of everything from lingerie to shower shoes, she was just another runway girl from the first wave of then-new Brazilians, a woman routinely informed she would never make it big in high fashion because her figure was too curvy and her nose was too long. "People told me I couldn't be fashion, that I'm just an old-fashioned body girl, only good for swimwear," Ms. Upton said. "But I knew that I could bring back the supermodel." "What can I say?" she added. "I'm relatable." [From The NYT] "She's like a footballer's wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy." YIKES! That was one of the bitchiest things I've ever heard. Even Karl Lagerfeld is like "TOO FAR." But you know what this reminds me of? Blake Lively and her Chanel contract. Everybody thinks Blake is so down-market because she's blonde and has nice (fake) boobs and she smiles a lot. Kate Upton = Blake Lively. They're very similar, aren't they? Lots of ambition, great figures, both are "accessible" and both are NOT "high fashion." Here are some photos of last night's SI party. I like this girl, but she looks kind of busted here, right?

Chris Brown: “Hate all you want, because I got a Grammy now!” Posted: 15 Feb 2012 08:15 AM PST It was three years ago that Chris Brown severely beat his then girlfriend, Rihanna, before a Grammy party. According to the police report, Chris hit Rihanna repeatedly across the face and body, threatened to kill her and bit her on the ear and hand. We saw the photos of her face afterwards and it was frightening and sad. Rihanna told police that it was not the first time that Chris had beaten her. Chris did pay some minor consequences after pleading guilty to assault and was put on five years probation. From all accounts he has performed his community service well and on time, and has been praised by the judge presiding over his case. He’s also completed court-ordered domestic violence and anger management courses. In interviews, Chris has been less than willing to take responsibility for his actions or to even talk about that night. He busted up a dressing room at Good Morning America last year after Robin Roberts asked him a question about the incident. Plus, he just comes across as a total a**hole. I know the kid is young at 22, but he’s behaved like a whiny bitch for years. He’s tweeted homophobic slurs on several occasions, once to a molestation victim. He regularly parks in handicapped parking spaces despite warnings, and he seems entirely unaware of how lucky he is to even be able to get paid to sing and perform. He complains constantly when anyone dares question him. Chris has had a career comeback lately that has raised a lot of eyebrows. Many people were disgusted to see him both perform at the Grammys and win a Grammy for Best R&B Album, and Chris has a message to all of them: in your face, basically. The title of this story doesn’t capture how pissy he was about it, since he used all caps and added an expletive for effect: Chris Brown is known for his violent temper, but on Tuesday, according to his Twitter account, his anger was aimed at his followers on the social networking site, rather than his ex-girlfriend. The R&B singer’s official Twitter feed lashed out at critics who had slammed the Grammys for honoring him during Sunday’s awards show, and had bitter words for those bashing him. “HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now! That’s the ultimate F**K OFF!” The tweets from Brown’s account said at the height of the rampage. Earlier in the rant came: “Strange how we pick and choose who to hate! Let me ask u this. Our society is full of rappers (which I listen to) who have sold drugs (poisoning). “But yet we glorify them and imitate everything they do. Then right before the worlds eyes a man shows how he can make a Big mistake and learn from it, but still has to deal with day to day hatred! You guys love to hate!!! But guess what???” The tweets from Brown’s account were responding to a number of prior tweets from celebrities who didn’t believe he deserved to not only win a Grammy for F.A.M.E., but also to perform twice during the show. [Radar Online] So selling drugs in the past is equivalent to beating on women in Chris’ world. At least he deleted it, but he surely had some prompting. This is but a small sample of the kind of behavior that should have sunk this kid’s career years ago. He makes a lot of money for a lot of people so they’re going to continue to let it slide. Not everyone in the industry is a team Breezy apologetic, though. Miranda Lambert tweeted that she didn’t “get it. He beat on a girl.” Other celebrities, like Sherri Shepherd, Jack Osbourne and Wil Wheaton had similar sentiments. There were also some very good editorials about this, particularly Sasha Pasulka’s (formerly of Evil Beet) at Hello Giggles and Marlow Stern’s at The Daily Beast. These editorials and tweets were made before Chris tried to call his Grammy “the ultimate F*** off” to anyone that dared question his career. Meanwhile people are showing Chris love on Twitter and basically writing that they’d take a beating for him anytime. Kaiser pointed me to analysis of this disturbing trend by Slate and Jezebel. I just don’t get it at all. How could anyone even joke about that? Here’s Chris outside a recording studio on 2-10-12 and out shopping on 12-4-11. Credit: FameFlynet

Russell Brand shagged a mystery brunette, who does the walk of shame Posted: 15 Feb 2012 08:00 AM PST Russell Brand has been spending his post-Katy Perry days with a steady dose of yoga and bare feet. Admittedly, I don’t understand why he would go barefoot in the street (I’ve included those photos at the end of this post), but maybe it’s just one of his quirks. Sort of like his jaunty scarves — now he has a purple one to match his yoga mat! But even though the scarves rotate, Russell is quite fond of wearing the same “lightning bolt” t-shirt to yoga class. I can only assume he uses the lightning bolt to direct attention down towards his crotch area. Anyway, I’m sure Russell quite enjoys the act of positioning himself within the last row during yoga class so that he can appreciate the view while flowing into “downward dog” pose. He’s officially back in the game now too, since a “mystery brunette” was spotted doing the walk of shame outside his front door. You can see the photograph here, and the woman looks almost triumphant. Of course, Kaiser, CB, and myself all agree that her outfit is pretty trashy and designed to seduce a man on the rebound, and CB points out that she’s left the price stickers on her shoes. Well, no one ever accused Russell of dating classy women, right? Comic spends night with brunette as he gets over divorce from Perry COMIC Russell Brand is getting over his divorce from Katy Perry the only way he knows how — by getting back in the saddle. He was snapped dropping a pretty brunette back at her apartment after she stayed at his new LA pile overnight. Russell, 36, who was renowned for his bed-hopping antics before his shock decision to tie the knot, gave the mystery girl a kiss before she skipped out of his car — wearing the same clothes from the night before. The teetotal funnyman had enjoyed a date with her at The Largo Theatre, in Los Angeles at the weekend, before driving back to his place. A source said: “Russell is a single man again and starting to move on from Katy. “Like any bloke, he had missed female company. He isn’t quite back to his old ways yet, but he’s very much back in the saddle.” On Sunday Katy, 27, performed her new single “Part Of Me” at The Grammys. The song is a broadside at their failed marriage. It includes cutting lines like, “You chewed me up and spat me out. You can keep the diamond ring.” After the couple split, Russell moved into a £s; 1.2million bachelor pad in Hollywood. The couple were married for just 14 months before Russell filed for divorce last December. [From The Sun] Yes, the ink is barely dry on Russell and Katy’s divorce papers, but at least he didn’t sign with a heart and happy face combo, and even though there have been rumors of his him shagging other chicks, he’s at least taken enough care to not have one photographed outside his home until now. Oh, and those rumors that he’s been texting with Zooey Deschanel? Those were recently debunked by Zooey herself, who says, “I literally do not know him.” Yeah, I think Russell will stick with “mystery” chicks for awhile and steer clear of dating anyone high profile, so Zooey is probably safe from his clutches. Meanwhile, Katy is getting over the divorce by making more money. The Sun reports that she’s just signed a new multi-million dollar deal as the face of Proactiv despite the fact that she was freely walking around with her acne in full view while she endorsed the company in 2010. Just to be clear — I’m not saying anything is wrong with having acne (we all have it!), but I suspect that Katy’s skin doesn’t take kindly to her habit of consistently piling on pounds of makeup every day. As for Russell? He’s still a bad, bad boy in more ways than one and was photographed talking on his cell phone while driving, which is still against the law in California.

Kris Humphries wants to legally destroy Kim Kardashian & take all of her money Posted: 15 Feb 2012 07:52 AM PST You might find this Life & Style cover story boring, but it actually amused me. I think it was Todd at IDLYITW who pointed this out first – that Kris Humphries' current legal strategy is "trying to annul the marriage so the prenup isn't a factor, then taking all of the Kardashian money." You may cheer Kris Humphries on for that, but please remember this – Kris Humphries is a d-bag, and when asked anything about anything, he just stutters, "Basketball… um, er… basketball… um… basketball." Go ahead and hate on Kim Kardashian too… but don't do it at the expensive of hating on Humphries. They're BOTH d-bags. Does it make a difference if Kris Humphries seems to have the better team of lawyers, though? Because it sounds like he does. And it sounds like he's about to legally destroy Kim. There’s soon to be more drama on the way for Kim Kardashian! Life & Style has learned that Kris Humphries is moving forward with his plans to take Kim to court, and he’s bringing the family with her. The new issue of Life & Style, on newsstands now, reveals that New Jersey Nets forward Kris has petitioned to have his Minnesota-licensed attorney practice in California. To Kim’s dismay, any nondisclosure agreements he signed associated with their prenup or Kourtney & Kim Take New York would be void in court. “When you’re requested to answer under oath,” notes an insider close to Kris, “it’s a legal obligation. If he’s asked certain questions, he’ll be compelled to answer.” Not only does Kris want Kim to admit that she knew she would divorce him after just 72 days, but he also wants to reveal intimate details about their non-existent sex life! "Kim's freaking out," a source tells Life & Style. "All of her dirty laundry will be aired and there is a lot to air. Kim is a calculating person who does things to benefit her wallet. That's her top priority! Everything will come out in court — even their sex life." Another source adds that Kim and Kris stopped having sex after they were married on Aug. 22 in the lavish Montecito, Calif., ceremony: "Almost immediately after the wedding, they stopped having sex." And as if watching her daughter go through turmoil weren’t bad enough, Kris Jenner is now at the center of her own courtroom drama. Life & Style has learned exclusively that Kris is filing suit against his former mother-in-law, citing breach of fiduciary duty. He thinks that the momager gave special treatment to Kim when she was supposed to be brokering deals for them as a couple, according to an insider. “When you have two clients, they’re supposed to be treated equally,” notes the insider. “It was a conflict of interest.” “We’re going to let litigation take its course,” his attorney, Lee Hutton, exclusively tells Life & Style. “We plan to fully pursue all legal options.” But Kris reportedly has big plans to air Kim's dirty laundry. He wants to prove the show Kourtney & Kim Take New York was scripted and that Kim used Kris to make money. "Kim has no interest in dragging out the divorce," a source adds. "Or having it play out on TV. Believe it or not, she's a private person. She feels like she's trapped in a nightmare that just won't end" [From Hollywood Life & Life & Style] I think the weakest legal argument is that "Kris Humphries was too dumb to get his own lawyers and managers, and that's why you should give him money." But put that argument with everything else… and I think Kris is getting a large chunk of change from the Kardashian coffers. My guess is that Kim doesn't want to see this litigation all the way through – she'll offer Humphries a large settlement and a non-disclosure agreement. We'll see if he takes it. Oh, and they never had sex once they were married? LOL, do you believe that? Photos courtesy of WENN.

Duggars to show baby’s memorial & Michelle learning of miscarriage, want more kids Posted: 15 Feb 2012 07:05 AM PST The Duggars are back and were on the Today Show yesterday. (Video is below.) Last night was the premiere of the ninth season of their TLC reality show, “19 Kids and Counting.” They have not yet aired footage of Michelle finding out she had a miscarriage at five months, but a preview reveals that it will be shown this season, and we’ve also heard that they’re going to show footage of the memorial for the baby. They’re famous for having a huge family, and they’ll continue to have kids as long as “God” grants them with kids. This is what they always say, and it’s not surprising to hear them continue to say it after their last baby was miscarried and their baby prior to that was born prematurely and with health problems. They’re tenacious, and they already have a schoolhouse full of kids but that doesn’t diminish the tragedy they suffered. The story is sad and heartbreaking and you feel for Michelle. She’s handling all this very well considering what she went through, but I get the very strong impression that she feels that its her duty to promote a pro-life agenda. Anyway here’s what they said to Ann Curry, whose one-note “are you ok?” approach to celebrity interviews was actually appropriate in this instance: Michelle and Jim Bob spoke to Ann Curry on TODAY Tuesday, their first public appearance since the miscarriage in early December. “It’s devastating, and many others have experienced very similar situations,” Michelle said. “Probably the hardest part is that when a loss like this occurs people really don’t know what to say…. We realize our sweet little Jubliee is with the Lord, and we will see her again someday.” And if another child isn’t in the cards, the Duggars say they’re enjoying being grandparents. Their oldest son, Josh, has two children with his wife Anna. “We have heard so many things about being a grandparent and now we know why it is so great,” Michelle told Ann Curry. “You get the joy of playing and spending time with them but you don’t have all the responsibility.” Their grief over the loss of the baby they later named Jubilee Shalom will be on display in their reality show this season. A preview clip provided to TODAY by TLC shows Michelle and Jim Bob in the doctor’s office for what they thought would be a routine ultrasound. Instead, they found out the baby’s heartbeat had stopped. Michelle is crying and cradling her belly with her hands, while Jim Bob sits next to her with a look of shock on his face. “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away,” she prays between sobs. “Blessed be the name of the Lord.” Jim Bob prays with her, then says softly, “Michelle, I’m so sorry.” Michelle had also suffered a miscarriage during her second pregnancy. That first miscarriage was what caused Michelle and Jim Bob early in their marriage to rethink their plan to have two or three children, and instead to eschew family planning and leave the number of children they have up to God. Between 20 to 30 percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. Dr. Rebecca Brightman, an OB-GYN at Mount Sinai hospital in New York, told TODAY in an earlier interview that having a lot of children doesn’t increase the risk of miscarriage, but that Michelle Duggar was at increased risk because of her age — she is 45, and women over 40 are more likely to have babies with chromosomal abnormalities, which is a leading factor in miscarriage. [From The Today Show] It must be comforting to believe in an afterlife so much that you know you’ll see your loved one again. I know that sounds snotty but I honestly mean it. I’ve heard my religious friends say similar things about people they’ve lost. This is how the Duggars make a living now, and they’re promoting their show and sharing their trials with the world. Unlike other visits to NY City, Jim-Bob and Michelle were on their own without their kids. They have plenty of little babysitters at home I guess. I found it surprising that they describe being grandparents as enjoyable because there’s no responsibility. How much responsibility do they feel for their own kids? We’ll soon see another huge family, their friends the Bates with 19 children of their own, on TLC. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Jim-Bob and Michelle are shown at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington DC on February 10, 2012. I guess they left their kids at home for that, too. Credit: Mark Wilkins/FameFlynet Pictures

Jennifer Aniston celebrated her 43rd birthday at the Marmont, with cocktails & cigs Posted: 15 Feb 2012 06:15 AM PST Justin Theroux was in charge of throwing Jennifer Aniston a birthday party this year. She just turned 43, and on Saturday, Justin rented out the penthouse suite of the Chateau Marmont and invited all of Aniston’s celebrity friends to the party. There were even some blurry photos of Justin and Jen making out on the balcony – and of Aniston lighting up. So much for her claim that she's quit smoking – although she probably has "quit" and she maybe just decided to light up for her birthday? Quitting smoking is hard, and that's the way you rationalize it – "It's my birthday, I can have one cigarette!" And soon you're back to smoking every day. Us Weekly has more about the party: For her big 4-3 on Saturday, Jennifer Aniston was feted with quite the sophisticated soiree! An insider tells Us Weekly that the actress’ hot-and-heavy beau Justin Theroux rented out a penthouse suite overlooking West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip and threw his girlfriend a party where A-list pals including Courteney Cox, Chelsea Handler, Jimmy Kimmel, Ben Stiller, Emily Blunt and Jason Bateman turned out to celebrate. “There was minimal decor with white hurricane candles lining the room and the balcony. A bar was set up inside along with a table where guests put presents,” the insider tells Us of party’s atmosphere. “It was a cold night, but there were heaters on the patio. There were servers walking around with appetizers and jazz music playing.” Donning her go-to all-black garb, Aniston worked a sleeveless black dress and sipped on martinis while she happily made her way around the room to spend time with each of her guests. “She seemed very excited to see her friends, but she never got too far from Justin,” the insider tells Us. “Every once in awhile, Justin would come up from behind and give her a big hug and kiss. They would embrace and whisper to each other for a minute but then go back to socializing. She seemed very relaxed.” “The party went late night and many people stayed past midnight,” the insider adds. “Jen and Justin were some of the last people to leave.” [From Us Weekly] So, she's drinking martinis and smoking cigarettes. The girl's not preggo. And she's probably not trying to get pregnant either. Which is fine… her body, her choice. It's only noteworthy because her fans want her to get pregnant so much, and she plays into that desire too often. Is anyone else surprised that Courteney Cox was there? It seems like Aniston and Cox have been avoiding each other for a while – pretty much as long as Chelsea Handler is cozying up to Aniston. Cox has been avoiding the two of them. I wonder which "friend" Justin Theroux prefers? PS… Ten bucks says the Marmont’s crackie-in-residence Lindsay Lohan tried to crash the party. Right? Photos courtesy of WENN, PCN & NY Mag.

Kate Winslet disrespects her early work: “I’m sure I wasn’t really a very good actress” Posted: 15 Feb 2012 04:56 AM PST Sigh… I miss Kate Winslet's old face, I really do. I saw this Ladies Home Journal cover staring out at me at the gym, and I was like, "Damn it, Kate! STOP." In my opinion, it was a really bad eye job that is still "settling in." Plus Botox. Plus lies. Anyway, she covers the March issue of LHJ… for some reason…? Is she promoting a new project or is she just promoting the 3D re-release of Titanic? Who knows. In the LHJ interview, she talks about her charity work, but in another new interview, she discussed the Titanic 3D experience: On the Titanic re-release: “A whole new generation is going to get to experience the film. It’s very exciting that I can actually sit with them — together — and we can all watch it in a movie theater. That is going to be quite amazing, actually.” Winslet says she’s already seen 17 minutes of 3-D footage, which she deems “extraordinary.” Watching her old self (and her old face): “I was literally like, ‘Oh my God, make it stop! Is that me? Oh my God, that’s me. Block my ears, somebody! Somebody club out my senses. Make it f-cking stop!’” She doesn't think she was a good actress back then: While her costar Leonardo DiCaprio “looks so young and so skinny,” in the 1997 blockbuster, Winslet, 36, admits she’s “slightly freaked out” about seeing her 21-year-old self onscreen again. “I’m sure I wasn’t really a very good actress. Seriously, we are talking about something that happened 15 years ago. It is a very long time ago. I’ve learned so much, and I’ve changed as a person so much since then. It is really quite weird. Can you imagine anything stranger? It’s going to be like famous all over again, Titanic all over again!” Her Golden Hat Foundation, which raises money/awareness about autism. "[The biggest misunderstanding is] that they are not capable of understanding anything, that they are completely locked in their own worlds and aren't paying attention to anything around them or that they are disinterested. Even those closest to them sometimes believe that. And so often that proves not to be the case." Teaching her kids about giving back: "They get a little allowance every week, and they are given an opportunity to match what we put in the family charity box each week. They always put in part of their allowance, so I think their awareness of giving is present." [From Celebrity Chatta & Us Weekly] I'm not sure what I think about Kate disrespecting her old films like that – she got her first Oscar nomination for my favorite film of hers, Sense & Sensibility, and she was only, like, 19 or 20 years old then. And you know what? I think she might have even been a better actress back then. When was the last time you saw a current Kate Winslet film and walked out thinking "Kate Winslet is awesome, she nailed that." Don't say The Reader. While she was fine in The Reader (not Oscar-worthy, but fine), that movie was terrible. What else do you have? Little Children? Maybe. But I tend to think Kate will always be beloved as an actress because of her early roles in S&S and Titanic. She was simply a more "natural" actress back then. She was fresh and different and interesting to watch. Not so much any more. Photos courtesy of LHJ and production stills of 'Titanic'.

Angelina Jolie premieres ‘ITLOBAH’ in Sarajevo, discusses situation in Syria Posted: 15 Feb 2012 04:32 AM PST Here are some photos from last night's Sarajevo premiere of In the Land of Blood and Honey. Angelina Jolie must have exhausted her printed and neutral dress supply, because she's back in black. And I don't hate it. I find this dress to be very elegant and only slightly dated. Should I judge Angelina for wearing a dress that Nancy Reagan probably wore to a State Dinner during the Reagan administration? Or should I just accept that this is who Angelina is – she is the woman who likes shoulder pads, big jewelry and 1980s glamour. Brad looks especially nice here – he's not wearing those friggin' tinted glasses, and that beautiful coat is getting a lot of action in Europe, isn't it? He's worn it in London, Berlin and now Sarajevo. According to this report at the Washington Post (read the full piece here), Angelina greeted the 5,000-strong crowd with a few words in Bosnian, then she gave a little speech in English. After the film, she got a standing ovation, which made her cry, and she said, "To share this with you means the world to me." At a press conference earlier in the day (in Sarajevo), Angelina talked about the need for a "wake up call" for the international community to pay attention to war crimes and atrocities in real time. She made some pointed comments about the situation in Syria too – "I am satisfied with what we made, I feel very strongly about it and I believe that its core issue — which is the need for intervention and need for the world to care about atrocities when they are happening — is very, very timely and especially with things that are happening in Syria today." Wait… so she's saying that we need to get involved in Syria? I mean… I understand the humanitarian argument, sure. But there's so much more at play in Syria than encouraging America to get on a white horse and "save the day." Will the proponents of force say that we'll be greeted as liberators? Again? Angelina has the heart of a neo-conservative, I swear. She also addressed concerns by the Serb community that they are being portrayed as "the bad guys" in the film: "I think it is very important that this film is out at this time and … if this film points the finger at anybody it is the international community. I understand that it's sensitive. But I also know that the Serbian people are intelligent and open-minded people. They will know the difference between what's been forced upon them and what they feel in their own hearts… although it's difficult, I hope that they see intention behind it." In a rare move, Angelina is also arranging "private screenings" for Serbs who are interested in seeing the film – she will even send the film to someone's home, if they are interested. Oh, and we need to talk about this hilarious photo of Angelina and the cast of ITLOBAH. Why does Goran Kostic look like that? He's all "FML." Dude! Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet.

Lindsay Lohan posed for Terry Richardson again and again: still busted? Posted: 15 Feb 2012 04:30 AM PST Here are even more Terry Richardson photos of Lindsay Lohan. I guess these are some outtakes from her Love Magazine photo shoot? In which she looked busted and cheap and she wore an Elizabeth Taylor sweatshirt and hoped that producers would instantly recognize that SHE is the only one who could possibly play Liz? I didn't have the heart to post all of the Love Magazine photos – you can see the rest of them here, but BEWARE! Some of the shots are NSFW, as they contain butt cheek and other cracked-out body parts. I think Linnocent is aiming for "sexy" but she just looks like a really haggard call girl who needs a nap. If that wasn't enough, Uncle Terry and the Cracken have been spending a lot of time partying together lately, and, of course, Uncle Terry has put photos up on his Diary. He snapped pics of Lindsay at the amFAR gala, and at some party for Purple Magazine a few nights ago. This is after his spectacularly busted photo shoot with LL at the Marmont last week. Yikes. And the final problem – Terry Richardson is now doing photo shoots with Ali Lohan. That's so… sad. Depressing. Sketchy. Tragic. Also: what the hell is Ali doing to her face? She's going to her sister's lip injection guy, right? Photos courtesy of Lohan's Tumblr and Terry's Diary.
