| James Franco’s K-Fed makeover: hot, hilarious or just ridiculous? Posted: 29 Mar 2012 08:58 AM PDT
Bedhead included the first photo of James Franco on the set of Spring Breakers in her post the other day, but I think many of you missed it. So here you go – a post devoted solely to Franco's transformation into some kind of cornrowed, Kevin Federline-like rapper-pimp (?). I actually think Franco's character is supposed to be some kind of pimp or dealer-type. Funny story: Spring Breakers is being directed by Harmony Korine, who is like some kind of hipster God (and former boyfriend of Chloe Sevigny). It makes sense that James Franco and Harmony Korine know each other. It does not make sense that Korine is directing a spring break film with a bunch of Disney starlets. As for Franco's transformation… it actually makes me like him more. I had lost interest in Franco for a while, when it seemed like he was going to be absorbed in some sort of life-as-performance-art thing that only true "artists" would understand. Plus, I hated how he phoned it in for last year's Oscars. So, he was annoying me. These photos are not annoying me. I'm surprised to see that Franco has… a good body? Am I seeing that right? His physique looks hot. I like the tattoos too (they're probably fake). I would never date a guy with cornrows (or gold teeth, for that matter), but I understand "the look" and I'm enjoying it. Oh, and CB sent me this interview with Franco from Refinery 29, that weird hipster outlet. Before I get to the interview, have you seen this "commercial" that Franco did for 7 For All Mankind? He's a songwriter now, you know. OMG. As for the interview, Franco doesn't say anything groundbreaking. He wears boxer briefs in "all the colors". He loves Gucci and American Apparel underwear. When asked if there's anything he's not good at, he says, "I don’t really cook. Um, I fart a lot.” My favorite part is when he's talking about his Spring Breakers costar Selena Gomez. He's asked about her fan base and he says, "I’m sure Selena has crazier fans. I was told today by these two twins that are working on the movie that Selena Gomez has the second most number of followers on Instagram. Behind only the love of her life, Justin Bieber.” As for Bieber, Franco says, "I haven’t met Justin but I’m definitely Team Selena.”

| Is Jim Carrey planning to marry his Russian “student” girlfriend, Anastasia Vitkina? Posted: 29 Mar 2012 08:12 AM PDT
Towards the end of last year, Jim Carrey got himself a new girlfriend. Initially, nobody knew anything about her because she seemed to be a "normal" person – not a celebrity, not some C-list also-ran, not someone attached to the industry in some way. I pegged the lady at mid-30s, and refreshingly normal-looking – she’s not plucked, sucked, tucked and ‘Toxed. Later, outlets claimed that Jim's girlfriend was Russian, 30 years old, and a "student" – her name is Anastasia Vitkina. Allegedly, she went to Parsons in NYC in 2007-08, which doesn’t make her a current “student” so…? I kind of think the "30" is false too, but whatever. In any case, Radar/Star claims that Jim is going to propose:
[From Radar] For what it's worth, "a member of Carrey's inner circle" tells Gossip Cop that Jim has no plans on proposing. But… I don't know. I've been worried ("concern-trolling") about Jim for a while. I hope that he's found someone who makes him happy, and someone who will be a constant in his struggles with his own mental health. But I have my doubts as to whether this is the girl, you know? Twenty years younger than him (ha), a Russian girl with very little backstory or verifiable history…? It feels like a weird situation.

| Michelle Duggar: “The entire population of the world can fit in Jacksonville, FL” Posted: 29 Mar 2012 07:44 AM PDT
"The idea of overpopulation is not accurate because, really, the entire population of the world, if they were stood shoulder to shoulder, could fit in the city limits of Jacksonville." Technically that could be accurate that everyone could fit in Jacksonville, notwithstanding all the trampling and deaths that would occur if you attempted to shove the entire world together, which would help address overpopulation anyway. There’s no way I could figure out this math on my own, but I found this wiki answer that explains that if you fit three people per square meter you could stick all the people in the world in a space of 2,280 square kilometers [adjusted for current population, which may be underestimated], or 880 square miles. Jacksonville is 874.3 miles, so maybe with some additional trampling you could shove the whole world up in there. So there you go, overpopulation doesn’t exist! It’s a weak argument against overpopulation of course, as it doesn’t even account for how much space a person needs to live or the fact that the world’s resources are finite, but that’s Michelle Duggar’s message. She’s got her reasoning and she’s sticking to it. Michelle then went on to say that her family buys things used that people discard, which is actually a nice message so I have to give her credit for that. She also quoted Mother Teresa as saying “to say that there are too many children is to say that there are too many flowers.” Michelle explained that they teach their children to be helpers and give back to the world, which also sounded great to me. It’s true that her children are very kind, giving people. Two of her boys are trained in CPR and actually helped save a little girls life! At the end of the video, Michelle claims that there are countries where the death rates outnumber the birth rates, and that’s also why overpopulation is a myth. “We’ve had other countries coming to our doorstep asking us to let people know that they need to have more children, because they are seeing that their death rates are outnumbering their birth rates, and they’re in crisis. They don’t have people of marrying age for their youth now…. So I think we are so deceived when we believe [in overpopulation]. It’s not true, it’s a lie.” It is true that there are countries with negative population growth. There are more countries with overpopulation issues, which of course affects the entire planet negatively. Michelle also believes that the earth is only 6,000 years old, and that’s what she and Jim-Bob teach their kids. Story and quotes thanks to Evil Beet

| Carson Daly apologizes after offensive, gay-stereotype comments Posted: 29 Mar 2012 07:44 AM PDT
By now, I think most people have heard about the JetBlue pilot who had a massive freakout/panic attack during a Tuesday flight. His copilot locked him out of the cockpit and the passengers on the plane had to physically restrain the dude, who has now been charged with a series of felonies. It was a scary story, and it's been a hot topic on the news shows and radio shows. Carson Daly decided to discuss it yesterday on his radio show. And he decided to talk about how "with his luck" he would have gotten stuck on a plane with a bunch of gay dudes who wouldn't have been able to take down a crazed pilot: "With my luck, it would be like … ‘this is the flight going to Pride in San Francisco I mean, that would be my colleagues… [affecting stereotypical lisp] 'Uh, we’re headed down to Vegas for the floral convention.'" So, Carson is a homophobe?
Yeah. That wasn't funny. Or politically correct. Or actually correct. Hours after every gay media outlet ran "WTF Carson?" stories, Daly tweeted, "This morning on my radio show I attempted to make fun of myself & offended others by mistake. I sincerely apologize.” Then he made an official statement to GLAAD:
Do you accept his apology? I kind of do. He should kiss more ass, totally, but let's be honest: this is Carson Daly saying something dumb and mildly offensive. This is not, like, Mel Gibson or Tracy Morgan going off on some insane tangent about violently attacking gay people.

| Jennifer Lawrence looks hot on the cover of Rolling Stone: one of her best looks ever? Posted: 29 Mar 2012 07:26 AM PDT
Jennifer Lawrence covers the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, and I’m a little bit mesmerized by the cover shoot. Look at how gorgeous (and pleasantly hot) she looks in relatively ordinary people-type clothes! Maybe this phenomenon can easily explain why she looked so comfortable (and amazingly hot) in that red Calvin Klein Oscars dress, which was very simple, as opposed to the vast majority of looks she’s donned to promote The Hunger Games. There’s also an interview of course, but the excerpts released so far are mostly what other people say about what she’s said to them. I guess you could call it hearsay but of a more charming variety than expected:
[From Rolling Stone] You know, I wouldn’t put it past Woody to have a sex swing, and I used to find him hot after his bare-bootied scene in The Cowboy Way, but it’s hard to think of him that way after seeing his insane crackage in 2012. It didn’t seem to bother JLaw in the slightest though, but I’m not sure what to think about her dropping the towel in front of Zoe. They’re BFFs now too, so I guess JLaw isn’t that modest about nudity in front of other girls. No big deal. Jennifer also did a recent cover interview for Parade as well, and this particular cover image bugs me. It’s too polished and robot-like to be either JLaw or Katniss, but the interview is fairly enlightening. She talks about the Kardashians as a precursor to reality shows being the bane of society’s existence:
[Frm Parade] I like how JLaw doesn’t mention the first name of “the Kardashian girl” like she can’t even be bothered to know what the fake-assed chick’s name is. She probably didn’t mean to sound bitchy about it, but I can still enjoy the effect. JLaw seems like a fairly intelligent, low-key type of celebrity, and just for fun, here’s a photo of her Santa Monica condo, which is worth a relatively modest $600,000. Sure, it’s worth more than most of us would spend on a house, but money doesn’t go as far in California as it does in middle America.

| Peter Facinelli files for divorce, Jennie Garth says he wanted out last year Posted: 29 Mar 2012 05:15 AM PDT
Peter Facinelli and Jennie Garth only announced their separation a few weeks ago, but it really does look like there's no hope of turning back now – Peter just filed for divorce from Jennie. From all of the tabloid and legit reporting that's being done on this split, it really seems like Peter wanted out of the marriage for a while, and that Peter and Jennie had a definite plan for how this separation and divorce would go:
[From TMZ] Incidentally (or maybe not), Jennie has an exclusive interview in this week's People Magazine. She pretty much says that Peter wanted a divorce last year, and it took her a while to come to terms with that.
I think it's interesting that most people think that Peter was screwing around, but that Jennie still isn't saying anything bad about him. Or is she? When she tells People Magazine that he wanted out a long time ago, is she giving us a wink and a nudge? At this point, I do think she's come to terms with whatever went down, and she's not about to throw the father of her children under the bus. It's sad.

| Is Jennifer Aniston going to start a production company with Justin Theroux? Posted: 29 Mar 2012 04:28 AM PDT
Way back when Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were married, they occasionally mingled their business interests. One of those occasions was when they formed a production company together called Plan B. After their 2005 divorce, Aniston got custody of their mega-mansion (which she sold) and Brad got custody of Plan B. Plan B had early financial successes, and Brad has turned it into a interesting venture, producing smaller, more "offbeat" productions than giant blockbusters. Incidentally, one of Plan B's latest films is Twelve Years a Slave, which will be directed by Steve McQueen (Shame) and star Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt and Chiwetel Ejiofor. I mean, come on! Anyway, a few years after The Divorce, Aniston went ahead and began another production company called Echo Films. As far as I can see, Aniston hasn't done much with Echo, although she's been listed at a producer on some of her own films – Management, The Switch (I ended up liking that movie), and the Lifetime project Five. I'm not sure if she did those under the Echo umbrella, or what…? So, long story short, Aniston wants to start another production company. Maybe. With Justin Theroux! Because she not only wants to have his baby, she wants their business interests to co-mingle.
[From OK! Magazine, print edition] The Friends musical sounds extremely stupid and it's probably not even a thing, right? As for the babies… well, God bless. If Justin and Jen are both on board, I wish them all of the baby-making and adoptin' bliss they can manage. But the production company? That bothers me a little bit. If any of that is true (which God knows, it could be), why is Aniston acting like she's Theroux's career savior ("Jen's really pushing to get them made because she's a huge fan of his work"), like she's going to produce his genius scripts because she's the only one who understands? As much as I tease The Shane Warne-ing of Justin Theroux, I do have to give him some credit – he's an established screenwriter. He's in-demand. Hollywood heavyweights want to work with him. He's not some struggling screenwriter who needs to have his girlfriend produce his scripts.

| Jenelle Evans on getting bolt-ons: “It will be like a deaf person being able to hear” Posted: 29 Mar 2012 04:25 AM PDT
Remember that amazing video of the deaf woman hearing herself for the first time after getting a hearing implant? That made me cry so hard. Just thinking about it chokes me up. Well Jenelle Evans, the chick from Teen Mom 2 who is known for multiple arrests, a stint in rehab, and a brutal assault caught on tape, is getting a boob job – which she compared to that video. I’m not kidding. Like so many of her fellow Teen Mom contestants, Evans is planning to get a boob job with part of money from whatever MTV pays her, which sounds way too low to me. Jenelle is so excited about this transformation, and so convinced of its necessity, that she compared bigger boobs to getting a cochlear implant.
[From OK! Magazine, print edition, April 9, 2012] How sad that this girl is getting boobs to please the idiotic guys she’s dating. Not that I care at all. She obviously thinks that bigger boobs are medically necessary so that she can continue to post duckface bikini pictures to Twitter. She should be able to write her new boobs off her taxes at least.

| Lindsay Lohan finished her morgue hours yesterday, final court appearance is today Posted: 29 Mar 2012 04:23 AM PDT
Lindsay Lohan is due in court today. This will be her final court appearance on behalf of her formal probation, and it's looking like she's going to ace it. She's done all of her morgue hours, she's checked in with her probation officer, she's only drunkenly run over one person. Everything's coming up roses for The Cracken!
TMZ says she only finished her morgue hours last night, which is kind of funny. Team Crack has been pushing multiple stories to TMZ about how LL was going above and beyond at the morgue and how she was going to be done with her hours early! And there she was, at the last minute, finishing everything up. Somebody's slipping back into crackhead mode. Also, you can expect a big crackie extravaganza tonight, of course. Party time! Meanwhile, poor Steve Honig (LL's mouthpiece) went to Radar to say, “Lindsay is very much looking forward to closing this chapter of her life and moving on to the next. She has some great projects on the table right now and others in development, and is very much looking forward to getting back to work." As for "work" – there are already issues with the Elizabeth Taylor movie, of course. LL is "having to jump through hoops to get a Canadian work permit to shoot a movie that could jump start her career," according to TMZ. It's all because LL has two DUIs and a theft conviction, which makes the whole work permit thing a lot harder. Plus, Canada probably wants no part of the Lohan Cracktastrophe. Still, LL has her lawyers "filling out the maze of paperwork required to get the work permit, and… It’s a pretty sure bet Canada will give Lindsay the right to shoot the movie." We'll see, won't we? We'll have coverage of LL when she gets to court today! Stay tuned.

| Kim Kardashian on divorce: “I’m so ready, emotionally, for this chapter to be over” Posted: 29 Mar 2012 04:20 AM PDT
It's shocking how much tabloid crap there is this week about Kim Kardashian and Kris "Basketball" Humphries. Us Weekly got the ball rolling with some kind of nonsense straight from the cat's mouth. It's all a pity-poor-Kim piece because, you see, Mean Ol' Basketball is trying to break the prenup so he can get all of Botoxy gold. Kim tells Us Weekly, "Out of respect for everyone involved, I'd rather not talk about it anymore. I'm so ready, emotionally, for this chapter to be over. I want to leave it in my past so I can start fresh." Kris Humphries' unnamed friend says: "He's doing this to humiliate her, plain and simple. Kris wants to hurt her." Blah, blah, stuff about money. He wants a payoff of $7 million, a figure we've heard before. Kim's counteroffer: zero. While she was "not talking about the past" with Us Weekly (in an exclusive cover interview which was sooooo sympathetic and one-sided), Kim also managed to reveal that she has a "killer revenge body" now – she's lost six pounds in just seven days. Kim says, "I’m on a mission… I figure, I’m single. Now is the best time to get in shape.” She credits QuickTrim and workouts with Gunnar Peterson (who also trains Sofia Vergara, btw). Oh, and she's cut out gluten, sugar and dairy. You can read more here. Meanwhile, Radar has an exclusive from Camp Basketball. A source close to Kris says:
Please. They're both acting like immature a–holes. Kris is actively trying to legally manipulate Kim into giving him a multi-million dollar payout, and Kim is actively trying to win public support and sympathy for her cat-faced plight. And both of them just suck as people.
