| Katy Perry & Russell Brand reach divorce settlement, she signs with a happy face Posted: 09 Feb 2012 08:48 AM PST
Yesterday, we covered Russell Brand’s refusal to take any of estranged wife Katy Perry’s millions during their current divorce proceedings. Most of you agreed that it was a smart move on Russell’s part regardless of his motivations, and I’m sure that he is looking quite forward to getting on with life without constant reminders of his wife’s cocaine lifestyle. Even though Russell just filed for divorce about six weeks ago, it seems like he and Katy have already been apart longer than they’ve been together. Of course, that has a lot to do with the fact that rumors of the relationship’s demise have been swirling since almost the beginning of their 14-month marriage. They were such a poor match from the very beginning.
Now Russell and Katy have finalized their divorce settlement and all property has been divided accordingly. Thank goodness there were no kids involved although the couple did adopt one cat together, so who knows what direction the poor feline will be headed. Naturally, Katy had to be all showy and “quirky” while signing the papers:
[From Us Magazine] Indeed, Katy did sign the divorce papers (which you can see at The Mail) with a heart and happy face combo. Of course, that’s her standard autograph these days (and can be observed on many signed items currently on sale at eBay), but I’m sure Katy knew that the cute little smiley would be seen the world round once the papers were released. It’s probably her way of trying to show the world that she doesn’t care about getting divorced. Whatever, Katy. At any rate, it looks like this (semi-)long nightmare of a marriage is finally over except for the requisite waiting period. Katy and Russell will be officially divorced on June 30. In the meantime, they can both resume their previous lives. He’ll be wearing increasingly ridiculous scarves, and she’ll get back to “partying” even though she never really stopped.

| Lindsay Lohan was cracked out at the amFAR event: how busted did she look? Posted: 09 Feb 2012 08:38 AM PST
I don't even have the words to describe these photos. Lindsay Lohan was at the amFAR event in New York City last night, and these are some of the spectacularly cracked-out photos from the red carpet. Um. She gave herself bangs. AND SHE'S THE CRACKEN. Dear God, look at her face. Look at her bruised-looking eyes. Look at her nose. Look at her lips. Look at that fried white-blonde hair. Look at how she's smiling and playing it all up for the cameras. She's high as a kite and having her picture taken, so of course she's happy. I guess technically this is a "fashion post" so we should mention her dress? I can't even look past her face, though. Lindsay has been front and center this week because of her TWO photo shoots with Terry Richardson, one for Love Magazine and one for… no apparent reason, other than LL was high at the Marmont and Terry wanted to take her picture. She looked especially dead-eyed and pathetic in those photo shoots, but these red carpet photos are a new low. I also have to wonder – she still has a few months left on her probation, right? I wonder if she skipped out on morgue duty to come to New York just for this event? I wonder if she'll stay in New York to party for a while too? Valentine's Day is coming up. She's probably got some "jobs" to do for some "clients".

| Naomi Watts cast as Princess Diana in new film: good or bad casting? Posted: 09 Feb 2012 08:36 AM PST
I have such mixed feelings about this casting choice. While I generally like Naomi Watts, I think she's overhyped as an actress, and I get tired of people trying to make her "happen" as a lead actress. She's pretty and talented, but there's something so milquetoast about many of her performances post-Mulholland Drive. Naomi was just cast as Princess Diana in Caught in Flight, the bio-pic about the last two years of Diana's life. I just… I don't know. Jessica Chastain was originally cast as Diana, but she was either pushed out or she jumped out, and now Naomi is in there.
[From Us Weekly] There's a similar look to Naomi and Diana, and if this was just about aesthetics alone, I wouldn't be too peeved. But is Naomi "light" enough to play Diana? Meaning that the last two years of Diana's life were good for her – she was in love, she was rebranding herself, she was free of Charles – she's was a spiritually "lighter" person. Naomi can only play "morose" and dark. I just went back and read the synopsis of the film, though – apparently, they're going for "damaged". Ugh. I'm worried about this film.
Vintage Diana – her last photo shoot with Mario Testino, still one of the best photo shoots ever.

| Halle Berry asks permission from judge to move to France with daughter Nahla: petty? Posted: 09 Feb 2012 08:05 AM PST
Reports have Aubry triumphant in last weeks’ court ruling, although Child and Family Services has been recommending he have supervised visitation for now. We’ve also heard that he’s been ordered to anger management classes, that counseling has been recommended for both Halle and Nahla, and that Halle and Gabriel have been advised to take parenting classes together. Here’s the latest story from TMZ:
[From TMZ] That stalker argument is a weak one. We’re talking about Halle Berry, who can afford a state of the art security system and ’round the clock security guards. She can build a fence if she wants. I was somewhat on Halle’s side when we first heard this latest news about Gabriel. It seemed like all those stories about his explosive temper might be true. Now I see the other side a lot more clearly. This is a petty move by Halle meant to pull rank and show Gabriel that she’s serious about keeping their daughter away from him. I wouldn’t put it past her to have pulled the nanny’s strings that led to this whole issue. I’m not saying that Gabriel isn’t to blame for his temper, or that he’s not as much in the wrong. It just seems like there’s much more to this story. I’m sure we’ll read the other side on Radar sometime today.
Gabriel is shown with Nahla on 2-3-12. Halle is shown picking Nahla up from school with the nanny on 2-2-12. Credit: WENN.com |
| Angelina Jolie confirmed as a presenter for this year’s Oscars Posted: 09 Feb 2012 08:05 AM PST
Angelina Jolie has been confirmed as a presenter for this year's Academy Awards. I like it! She hasn't presented at the Oscars in a long time. When was the last time? 2004? Yikes. She presented Best Director at the Golden Globes this year, but for the past half-dozen years or so, Angelina has avoided presenting at awards shows, even when she's nominated. I don't really know why – she never seems nervous in front of a crowd or anything, so my guess is that it's just A) bad timing and B) she doesn't want to. But now that she's going to the Oscars simply as "the date" of a (multiple) nominee, Angelina thought she might be bored, so she decided to take the producers up on their offer. The last time Brangelina went to the Oscars, it was 2009 and both Brad and Angelina were up for lead acting awards, he for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and she for Changeling. The previous year, Angelina had been snubbed for a nomination for A Mighty Heart, and they made it a point to avoid going to the Oscars that year. In my opinion – and I have no proof to back this up – I'm guessing that Brad and Angelina have a standing invitation to present at every Oscar ceremony, regardless of whether they're nominated. Producers simply want people to tune in, and more people tune in when Brad and Angelina show up. Other presenters who have signed on thus far: Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Jennifer Lopez, and the cast of Bridesmaids. It's a good list. But I'm waiting to see if Jennifer Aniston gets added. Aniston famously showed up to present at the 2009 Oscars (with John Mayer, LOL) when Brad and Angelina were nominated, and Aniston has Wanderlust coming out THAT same weekend. Will she bring along her new John Mayer, Justin Theroux? Here are some old photos of Angelina at previous Oscars. God, I still LOVE that Marc Bouwer dress. And I still think that black Elie Saab was beautifully tailored.

| Jennifer Aniston wants to change up her red carpet style, dye her hair dark brown Posted: 09 Feb 2012 07:33 AM PST
Ugh, we have even more of Jennifer "Did You Know I Was Married To Brad Pitt?" Aniston's InStyle cover story for the March issue. A few days ago, we had the early excerpts – of course she mentioned Brad, and how it's totally a misconception that they're in some kind of "feud" and that it's all just a media conspiracy for profit. She also discussed Justin Theroux and how she totally did NOT change her style when they got together. Speaking of that exact thing, she also says she does want to change her style now that she's with Justin. And of course, she discusses her diet and exercise plan.
[From Radar & People Mag] I'm not going to complain too much about these interview excerpts, mostly because she's talking about stuff I wish she had been doing for years. She would look GREAT if she gave up the Real Housewife blonde and went for a rich brunette – it would make her eyes pop, and I think it would make her look younger too. I'd also love to see her change up her red carpet style. I get tired of her minidresses and LBDs. I know she'd be more comfortable in jeans and flip-flops (I'm that way too), but for a supposed "style icon" she rarely takes any fashion risks, and she rarely dresses in a way that compliments her figure in a classy way.

| Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s daughters blame Ashton for her breakdown Posted: 09 Feb 2012 06:10 AM PST
The latest issue of US has an article that suggests to me that Demi is not taking responsibility for her addictions, or at least that her family is still in denial about it. It squarely places blame on her ex Ashton Kutcher as somehow triggering Demi’s latest problems. Here’s part of US’ report:
[From US Weekly, print edition, February 20, 2012] I buy that Ashton was an ass to Demi and that he cheated on, lied to and left her. We have no idea what went on in that relationship behind closed doors, or how bad it was. It’s understandable that Demi’s family hates Ashton now. Ultimately Demi is responsible for herself, though. Plenty of women go through infidelity and public humiliation and deal with it in much healthier, constructive ways. Most of those women don’t have a fraction of Demi’s means or opportunities. This is a cop out by Demi’s people. She needs to get more distance from this before putting out the next planted story.

| Kylie Jenner tweets awkward photo of Khloe Kardashian and her real “dad” Posted: 09 Feb 2012 05:44 AM PST
A month ago, Khloe Kardashian's paternity drama went from "quiet" to "the topic that every media outlet was reporting." It's been widely believed that Khloe Kardashian is the one sister who isn't really a Kardashian – that her biological father was not really Kris Jenner's then-husband, Robert Kardashian. Robert Kardashian's wives (after Kris) even told media outlets that Robert always "knew" Khloe wasn't his bio daughter, and that Khloe herself knew/suspected it too. This caused everyone to speculate as to WHO Kris Jenner was screwing during the time of conception. OJ Simpson perhaps? Or some miscellaneous corporate LA dude? Speculation has grown and grown, and then some outlets found photos of Kris Jenner's long-time hairdresser, Alex Roldan, and the jig was up. Khloe looks remarkably like the older photos of Roldan. Oh, and Khloe's middle name is "Alexandra" – perhaps because Kris knew Alex was the father? Anyway, Khloe's half-sister Kylie Jenner tweeted the header photo yesterday with the tag, "First official photo of my sister and her dad! Like father like daughter!" When everyone was like, "OMG, that really is Khloe's father," Kylie then tweeted, "It was a joke everyone! Lol!" But is it a joke? Really?

| Duchess Kate wears grey to preview a Lucien Freud exhibit: lovely & appropriate? Posted: 09 Feb 2012 04:35 AM PST
Here are some new photos of the Duchess of Cambridge in London last night. She wore a "a double-breasted, 1950s-style dress by the high street clothing label Jesire" for her first solo public appearance as a royal – I like the outfit. She looks good in grey, and I think it was suitable for the occasion and the season. While she still needs to STOP with the eyeliner, her salon-fresh hair did seem more subdued, right? It's not so "college girl sausage curls". Or maybe I'm just getting used to it. Anyway, the occasion was a preview of the Lucian Freud exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. You might remember, the National Portrait Gallery is one of Kate's five patronages (which took her more than a year to organize). The tour of Freud's work took an hour, and I'm happy to report that Kate handled herself with grace. She didn't mess up, she didn't trip or scratch one of the Freuds. Incidentally, did anyone else read that fantastic article about Freud in Vanity Fair last month? Go here to read it – it's a great piece about one of the great artists of the modern age. Us Weekly has an article this week about how depressed Kate is now that William has left her for his Falklands military training. Here are some highlights from the piece:
[From Us Weekly, print edition] Sure. I'm sure she "plans to do nothing but work" especially considering the palace has been trying to convince us she's actually been working "hard" this whole time. In between shopping and hair appointments, of course. And sitting around, waiting for William to come home. And I really, really hope the whole "this is the toughest thing EVER" part of these stories is just editorial BS, made up out of whole cloth, and Kate isn't really sitting around thinking about how tough she has it.

| Chelsea Handler covers Redbook, talks about Jennifer Aniston & bullies Posted: 09 Feb 2012 04:20 AM PST
Chelsea Handler covers the new issue of Redbook, for some reason. Blah. I guess she's promoting her E! show, and maybe her NBC show with Laura Prepon. How's that show doing? The commercials for it look absolutely terrible. Like, I actually wince. I'm not saying that every TV show has to have a "likeable" main character (in fact, it's more interesting if the lead is not likeable), but shouldn't the main character – who is based on Chelsea – be interesting enough to want to follow? Isn't that the crux of good writing? You want to see what happens, you want to follow those characters. With a character based on Chelsea, you know what happens. She gets drunk. She makes tasteless jokes about her vadge. Rinse and repeat. Anyway, about the Redbook interview. She's full of it. She's still talking about her BFF Jennifer Aniston and how tight they are. She's also trying to become some advocate for anti-bullying I guess. This is the woman who ranted and raved about Angelina being a "f–king c–t" and "f–king bitch" and makes racist "jokes" about children. Yes, Chelsea is such an amazing anti-bullying role model. And did she mention she's BFFs with ANISTON?!!?!?
Is she just that lacking in self-awareness, or is this all a game to her? Does she actually know what she's doing – consciously mean-girling the "bitches" and "c–nts" while proclaiming to be all about the sisterhood, all as some kind of PR game? Or does she not even realize what an enormous hypocritical a–hole she is?
