| Angelina Jolie does a photo op with the twins & Jane Pitt, post-Leg Incident Posted: 28 Feb 2012 08:56 AM PST
Go ahead and yell at me, but I still don't see the big deal about Angelina Jolie's leg posing at the Oscars. I mean, I understand why it's a "thing" and I think she needed to put her leg away, of course. I thought it was funny when The Descendants screenwriters teased her, but I thought that's all it was – friendly teasing. Was she trying too hard to work the slit on her dress? Yes. But it's Angelina. It's not some Glee twit. Even when Angelina is "trying too hard" it's still pretty awesome. The whole incident – and my perception of the balls-out crazy overreaction to The Leg – reminded me of the thing from the 2009 Critics Choice Awards, where everyone claimed Angelina made a bitchface when Anne Hathaway won Best Actress – go back and watch the tape with your 2012 eyes. Is that really what happened? Or are you just hungry to criticize Angelina for anything and nothing? Anyway, Angelina decided to do some post-Oscar-catastrophe (?? RLY ??) image work. Very conveniently – oh so convenient! – Angelina was pap'd in Beverly Hills yesterday with her de facto mother-in-law, Jane Pitt, and Angie's youngest kids, the twins Vivienne and Knox. *jingles keys in front of audience* You will forget about The Leg. You will stare at photos of happy Jolie-Pitt children. You will see that Angelina still has the approval of Brad's mom. You will see that Vivienne – the child who normally looks like she's always on the verge of a wailing temper tantrum – is happy and lovingly attached to her mother. What Leg? Seriously, though – if Angelina was really worried about The Leg and her detractors, she would have brought out the big guns – Empress Zahara! The fact that we're getting Viv and Knox means that she's concerned, but she's not putting up the Code Red: Brangelina Catastrophe siren.

| Gwyneth Paltrow: Blue Ivy Carter “is going to be an entertainer!” Posted: 28 Feb 2012 08:56 AM PST
Yes, we're still doing some backup coverage from the Oscars. So let's keep talking about one of the most talked-about looks from the Oscars, Gwyneth Paltrow and goopy superhero cape, all by Tom Ford. Now that I'm some-odd 40 hours removed from Super-Goop's cape, I do have to admit… it was a smart look, style-wise. If she had just gone with the Tom Ford gown, it would have been too plain, too bridal. With the cape, she really snazzed it up, though. Too bad she took off the cape for her presenting duties, and for the after-parties. I would have enjoyed it more if she rocked the cape all night. In other Goop news, while Gwyneth was at the Governor's Ball (just after the Oscars), she was asked about her BFF Beyonce and little Blue Ivy. Gwyneth deigned to speak about BIC!
[From Us Weekly] I hate it when people talk about how a baby is going to be a "star". I know it's just filler chatter and it doesn't mean anything, but I feel like it's wrong to put that on a damn baby, you know? What if Blue Ivy wants to be a teacher? Oh, and I know CB will enjoy this – I found this interview with Gwyneth's makeup artist for the Oscars, who is kind of delusional about how Gwyneth's makeup situation looks so, so rough.
[Via The Telegraph] The rubber band in her hair just killed me – that was worse than the too-orange makeup (which was caked on, as you could see when she was on stage). There's nothing "raw edge" about wearing a rubber band in your hair at THE OSCARS. Especially with that sleek Tom Ford look – the rubber band was just tacky. Peasant-y, if you will. Oh – people claim that Chris Martin came out to party with Goop after the Oscars. I haven't seen one photo of him, though.

| Katy Perry covers Interview Mag as Liz Taylor: acceptable or unrecognizable? Posted: 28 Feb 2012 08:49 AM PST
Bloody hell, this is an utterly ridiculous sight. Katy Perry covers the April issue of Interview magazine in an Elizabeth Taylor tribute photoshoot, and here is the cover preview, which looks nothing like Katy Perry (or Liz Taylor for that matter). So much Photoshop! Whomever posed for this cover, it certainly doesn’t look like Katy doing Liz but more like Megan Fox doing Liz. Incidentally, Megan was one of the actresses who was up for that Lifetime movie role that supposedly ended up going to Lindsay Lohan. Yet it goes without saying that even Photoshop Katy seems like a better option than Lohan as Liz. Katy’s take would be utterly disrespectful, entirely candy coated, and lacking in substance, but it would be a hell of a lot better than the Crackie Liz that may come to fruition. Yuck. Speaking of crack-laden nightmares, there’s a new rumor going around that Katy is ready to start cruising the singles scene again, and Katy wants Rihanna to find her a new boyfriend:
[From Hollywood Life] I do agree in a sense that there’s really no use in Katy sitting around and moping about Russell who quite clearly has already moved onto greener (i.e., newer) pastures himself. Yet Rihanna has no business suggesting men for her friends when she can’t stop defending her own abuser. Still, I don’t really buy this story because I doubt RiRi really cares much about Katy at all. In other Katy news, a very “tipsy” Katy reportedly entered into a bidding war (at the Elton John Oscars viewing party) over cooking lessons and ended up splashing out $50,000 as a result. Maybe she really wants to impress her (future) new man in the kitchen. Perhaps she even thinks Tim Tebow would like that. Incidentally, a lot of you didn’t agree with my take on Katy’s outfit at the Elton viewing party as surprisingly tasteful and pretty. While I agree that Katy’s look wasn’t conventionally “fresh” and certainly not competitive in the Oscar fashion stakes, I was considering Katy’s ensemble relative to her usual trashy outfits. It would be unfair to hold her up to the gown standards of Penelope Cruz, but for Katy, she looked almost human. Almost.

| Did Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz have some girl-drama at the VF party? Posted: 28 Feb 2012 08:26 AM PST
I guess we kind of missed out on covering some of the girl-drama that went down at the Oscars and some of the post-Oscar parties. I didn't cover it mostly because I sometimes forget which girls dated the same dudes. Like, it didn't occur to me that Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudson might still hate each other because Camy started dating Alex Rodriguez right after he dumped Hudson. Maybe I forgot about it because I just think, "Who cares that much about A-Rod, really?" That wasn't the only girl-dramz involving Camy, though. Camy is currently grinding on P. Diddy. P. Diddy grinded on Jennifer Lopez more than a decade ago. Camy and a nipply Jennifer Lopez presented together and had an ass-off, which was – like Angelina's leg – a dumb non-scandal that got blown out of proportion. Still, I guess we can try to make this really budget Uncool Bermuda Triangle happen:
[From Page Six] I hate that Diddy and Camy are all official now. I hate that they were seated so close to each other at the Oscars and that they were "together" at the VF party, like they're all established now. I had high hopes that this Diddy thing was just a booty call for Cameron. But this girl's man issues just keep growing and growing. As for Jennifer introducing Diddy to Casper – I can't even imagine. Who came out of that meeting looking worse? I have to say, Diddy might have come out of that introduction worlds ahead of Jennifer and Casper. Diddy was with Jennifer, and now he's with another A-list actress, Cameron. Jennifer went from Diddy to a backup dancer, to Ben Affleck, to Marc Anthony, and then to another backup dancer. Diddy has plateau'd. Jennifer has lost ground.

| Rihanna believes Chris Brown didn’t steal a phone, which is ‘extremely humbling’ to Chris Posted: 28 Feb 2012 08:02 AM PST
[From Radar] Well I hope Radar is right and that it’s “extremely likely” that his probation gets revoked for his case in California, if he’s even arrested for allegedly stealing the phone in Florida. I doubt he’ll be. In terms of all the crap he could do, stealing a phone seems pretty low on the totem pole. But stealing a necklace is what eventually brought Lindsay Lohan down when she violated probation. Oh wait… As for Rihanna not taking any advice about Chris from friends and people around her, I believe it. She had to ignore so much to get to this point, she’s probably ignoring everyone trying to help her too. Here’s Rihanna out in London yesterday. She’s wearing a fancy visor and sneakers with jeans, like she’s a granny in Boca or something.

| Angelina Jolie’s leg is the most controversial and horrible thing ever, of course Posted: 28 Feb 2012 07:51 AM PST
For. The. Love. Of. God. We're still talking about Angelina's leggy appearance at the Oscars. I just… seriously? OK. Let's get to it. First, everyone is dissecting Angelina's body. As I said at the time, her waist looked super-tiny and her arms bothered me, but overall, I'm just so f–king sick of talking about Angelina's body. She’s thin. It’s not breaking news. She’s not calling the paps and posing in bikinis. She's been criticized about her figure for more than a decade – I remember even back in 1998 and 1999, people were freaked out about her tiny arms. Enough. As for her Oscars appearance, CB and I were debating whether or not to devote an entire post to Jolie's body, which I argued against because – and I still think this – the tabloids will be having a field day with this anyway, so we can just cover it then. CB, who is not a Brangeloonie but not a hater either, said that "Angelina looked worryingly thin to me, particularly her arms, which looked twig-like, I’ll be honest. I don’t think it’s fair to be harsh to her about it, just like it’s not fair to point out when celebrities are overweight, although we all know that it happens." In the past, "sources" have claimed that Angelina simply doesn't eat enough because she's too busy thinking about the refugees, or because she was grieving for her mother, who passed in 2007. Joan Rivers has weighed in (ugh) on Angelina's appearance. Joan has mocked Angelina in the past, but over the past few years, Joan has been going much easier on her. Not this time, though. Joan told Radar:
[Via Radar] I love how people are saying, "This is the FIRST TIME she's ever screwed up this badly!!" First of all, I still have my doubts that The Leg is a "screw up." Second of all, don't bring up the Holocaust. Don't. It's just a ridiculous and offensive comparison/joke, and it shouldn't even be brought up. Third, Jolie's critics claim that every little thing she does is The Most Awful Thing Ever, and they have the shortest attention spans ever. I just don't get how "Haha, Angelina's leg is so funny" becomes "This is Angelina's worst PR catastrophe of all time! HOLOCAUST." I understand why her leg is a joke and why it's a "thing," and my argument remains: Angelina was laughing at herself too. I think she was having fun with it. That's what Radar's "source" claims too – this person tells Radar, "Angie was vamping it up, no more, nothing less. There was no hidden meaning in what she was doing. The photographers went crazy for her on the red carpet and were screaming for her to ‘Show some leg,’ and so she did. It was totally unplanned for Angie to do it again when she was presenting, she was having fun, living in the moment, like she always does. She is absolutely oblivious to the controversy and attention the sexy pose has created.” As for Angelina's thin appearance, the source tells Radar: “Yes, Angie is thin. She has a lot going on with the kids, Brad, and work. Angie understands that going to award shows is part of the business, but it’s not at the top of her list of favorite things to do. She is relieved that it’s now over." Oh, and after the Oscars, Brad and Angelina joined George Clooney for a private dinner at Craig's Restaurant in West Hollywood. Clooney and Stacy Keibler organized the dinner, it seemed, as many of George's friends were there. Maybe Angelina had a big post-Oscars meal.

| Jennifer Lawrence: “I love my job. I can’t stand it when actors complain.” Posted: 28 Feb 2012 07:47 AM PST
Jennifer Lawrence covers the April issue of Glamour to promote The Hunger Games, which hits theaters on March 23. Publicity for the movie is on the verge of kicking into (very) high gear with a mall tour (just like Tiffany) and all sorts of upcoming appearances, I’m sure. For now, we’ll settle for this Glamour interview, which includes tidbits like Lawrence admitting that she accidentally gave Josh Hutcherson, who plays Peeta, a concussion while delivering an on-set “death kick.” Here are some excerpts, along with Lawrence looking particularly boobtastic in a black bodysuit while armed with a bow:
[From Glamour] On the Glamour website, there’s also an informational article on The Hunger Games that discusses how Lawrence beat out Abigail Breslin, Emma Roberts, and Hailee Steinfeld for the role of Katniss. Can you imagine how awful Emma would’ve been in this role? She’d be checking her manicure between takes and rolling her eyes just like Aunt Julia. In contrast, Lawrence is pretty hard core and reportedly trained long and hard (100 arrows a day with an Olympic-style blow) for the archery aspect of her character. The movie also boasted 35 full-time makeup artists and 450 on-set wigs to depict its capitol setting. I can’t wait to watch this movie! Meanwhile, Lawrence looks absolutely lovely in this photoshoot, and she’s not noticeably photoshopped either. The cleavage shots are a bit much to promote a movie based upon a young-adult novel, but hey, this is Glamour.

| Lindsay Lohan is in NYC, she’ll give a “no holds barred” interview to Matt Lauer Posted: 28 Feb 2012 07:12 AM PST
Last we heard from Lindsay Lohan, she was telling crack-lies about Elizabeth Taylor and I was predicting a cracktastrophe at some of the pre- and post-Oscar parties, especially the parties held at the Chateau Marmont, which is where LL is living now. Fortunately for Lindsay, I can't find any stories about any crackie behavior around the Oscars. She flew to NYC yesterday, and the header photo is of LL last night in the city - you can see more pics of her looking ragged here. LL is in NYC because she's scheduled to host this week's episode of Saturday Night Live. Will I watch it? I don't know. Probably not. I like to sleep. LL's publicity team (Dina and a bottle of a Cuervo) have been leaking all kinds of info about the SNL gig – Lindsay will apparently "do anything" the writers want her to do. But that's not all – there's also a rumor going around that LL will be giving a "major" interview to Matt Lauer on Thursday's Today show.
Do you even believe that the Cracken is self-aware enough to know that "she can be her own worst enemy"? I don't. I think LL got this SNL gig and she thinks, "I'm back, bitches! PARTY!!!" And we'll see what she's like in the Today interview – Matt Lauer made an enemy of Dina Lohan the last time Dina was on, and it wasn't even like Lauer was being that hardcore. My prediction is that the Today interview will be more epic than the SNL gig.

| Megan Fox on Cosmo, talks Brian Austin Green: “I truly feel like he’s my soulmate” Posted: 28 Feb 2012 06:40 AM PST
LMAO at the image of Megan Fox with the headline "My Gyno Talked To My Vagina". I know Megan didn't say that, but it's really cracking me up. Remember how Megan used to be all about the TMI in interviews, to the point where she was just making stuff up and talking out of her ass? For a moment, I was like, "Oh, she talking about her pap smears now. Good." Anyway… Megan covers the April issue of Cosmo, likely to promote her small, supporting part in Friends With Kids. Megan is like… I don't even know, the sixth lead in the film? And she gets a Cosmo cover for that? In addition to appearing on the covers of Miami and Angeleno Magazines? It's overkill, which is Megan's specialty when she's promoting a film. That being said, I like the cover image a lot – great hair, and her face doesn't look crazy and jacked. Here are some excerpts from the cover interview:
[From Cosmopolitan & The Mail] I will give Megan credit – she's not a party girl. She's not a Lohan. She's not some high-functioning addict with famewhore tendencies. She can go months without getting pap'd. She only does interviews when she's promoting something. I buy that she spends most of her time at home, with her husband and her stepson. And I kind of like her claim that BAG is her "soul mate" – it is corny, but it's cute. It's a new media strategy for Megan, and it's working for me. Is it working for you?

| Bradley Cooper & Zoe Saldana made out at a party, in front of his mom & Scarlett Johansson Posted: 28 Feb 2012 06:11 AM PST
[From The NY Daily News] Maybe this isn’t as cut and dried as the Daily News is making it out to be. Maybe Bradley and Zoe shared a kiss and weren’t pawing all over each other manically while their family and Scarlett tried to examine their manicures. Or maybe they’re just one of those PDA couples who is so into each other they’re touching and feeling all night. Those people bug me. Maybe I’m too uptight, but get a room. At least it wasn’t the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Well now I’m buying their relationship is real and not a showmance at least. Zoe has even been bonding with Bradley’s mom, just like his ex Renee Zellweger did. It doesn’t make me any more interested in Bradley and Zoe as a couple, though. But they make a lot of sense together. Here are Zoe and Bradley at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Thankfully this isn’t where they were making out. Zoe is wearing Marios Schwab. It’s not a terrible dress, but I really dislike those short skirts with sheer overlays. Bradley looks like Hook to me here. I dislike that facial hair.
