| Stacy Keibler talks exercise, health with Self Mag: “Set realistic goals for yourself” Posted: 21 May 2012 08:34 AM PDT
For a moment, I thought Stacy Keibler had managed to escort her way onto yet another magazine cover, but that's not the case. Stacy isn't on the cover of the new issue of Self Magazine, she's just featured within the latest issue. She has a fashion photo shoot, plus a shoot to show us her workout and stuff. Do you mind if I avoid the photos of her squatting? Because I don't want to look at it really – you can see some of the pics here. Stacy has a great figure, for sure. But does she have anything beyond that? Unknown. Here are some excerpts from her interview:
[Via People Magazine & Gossip Center] It struck me as I read this piece, and glanced through Stacy's Twitter feed, that Stacy is trying to make exercise and diet one of her "issues". As in, this is what she wants to be known for and she wants to make "being healthy" her cause and her go-to soundbyte. She's been tweeting about various childhood obesity causes too. So… is Stacy trying to be like Michelle Obama? Is that how Stacy is positioning herself? Like, George Clooney is like Pres. Obama, all serious issues and foreign policy and such, and Stacy gets to come in with the "soft" issues like "getting healthy" and "getting people to exercise." I really don't think this is a coincidence.

| Community showrunner Dan Harmon got fired & no one told him. I want to cry. Posted: 21 May 2012 08:23 AM PDT
Given this latest news, the new season may be radically different than the solid, irreverent “Community” we’re used to. Showrunner and creator Dan Harmon was fired, and according to a new post he made on tumblr, the poor guy found out the same way everyone else did – through the press. That’s cold. From what I can gather, he got canned in a joint effort by Sony Pictures, which produces the show, and NBC, where it airs. They’ve brought on “Happy Endings” writers David Guarascio and Moses Port as “showrunners and exec producers,” according to NY Magazine’s Vulture. “Happy Endings” is a decent funny show, but it’s nothing like “Community.” Here’s more:
[From LA Times] I just read Harmon’s blog on this, and I’ll be honest I feel like crying. My eyes are welling up. Maybe I’m PMSing or whatever, but this really upsets me. NO one communicated with this guy prior to canning him, they just got rid of him, probably because he defended his vision consistently. That’s why we had such hilarious, outrageous, thoughtful episodes from Community for three seasons: this guy fought every day in order to create such a wonderful show, and of course he got sh*t on for it. Look what happened to “Walking Dead” after they fired Frank Darabont. It sucked so hard this season. I’m so mad that my favorite comedy is going to be robbed of the visionary who created it. RIP my favorite show. Those six seasons and a movie aren’t going to happen under NBC’s sh*tty watch. F*ck NBC. They mess up everything. There was a big feud between Harmon and “Community” star Chevy Chase that made headlines a couple of months ago. Star Jim Rash told a TMZ photographer over the weekend that this had nothing to do with that issue, and that Harmon would be missed. Images via Community Things

| Christina Hendricks out & about in NYC, plus some thoughts on ‘Mad Men’ Posted: 21 May 2012 08:07 AM PDT
Christina Hendricks and her husband, The Nerd King, were in New York City all last week, and there were lots of street photos of them walking around, looking cute. As you know, I'm not a huge fan of Christina's street style. Or her red carpet style, for that matter. She seems like a girly-girl who loves frills and beading and everything "cute" – and most of it looks like hell on her. Still, I do want to note that Christina's hair is improving, and she seems to have finally figured out that pencil skirts are a great look on her figure. Well done, Christina. ***Spoilers for this season of Mad Men and last night’s episode*** Before last night's Mad Men, I had been kind of depressed about the lack of Joan/Christina on the show this season. Joan really is a supporting character on the show – I think it was Season 3 where she disappeared for, like, half a season. This season, the premiere episode teased us with a good Joan storyline, and then there was that awesome episode a month ago when Joan finally, at long last, left her husband, Dr. Rapist. Oh, sorry. Captain Doctor Rapist. That was a stellar episode, and a great emotional payoff for those of us who love to see Joan stand up for herself. And then… not much. Joan went back to being in the background for other character's storylines. Incidentally, how much did you love Joan's bitchy comments about Megan Draper and the "kind of women" Don Draper goes for? And then last night – finally – another great emotional payoff for fans of the show. Don Draper and Joan circle each other like prize fighters, both equals in each other's eyes, both equally hot, tragic and smart. Joan got served with divorce papers ("like he has the moral high ground," she sniped) and when she first got served, that was Christina Hendricks at her best, wasn't it? Joan LOST IT. And she took it out on one of her "girls" – the dumb little receptionist. And Don came in to save the day, and it was perfect between them. All of those scenes between Joan and Don – they were so sexy together, so amazing. They were like sex scenes, only they were just talking and drinking and looking at Jaguars. Loved the "Aly Khan" joke (he married Rita Hayworth, another buxom redhead). Loved the convoluted, drunken conversation about what "he" and "she" need and want. Love that Don's advice to Joan was to "go all the way" with a guy before telling him that she's a single mother. Love that Don walked away at the end of the night, where the Old Don would have taken Joan to a hotel. Hated that Megan threw a hissy fit when Don came home. While I like that Megan stands up to Don, her "standing up for herself" moments are becoming more like childish tantrums. Sigh… Joan and Don. They need to take Peggy out, and all three of them need to get wasted and really talk about everything – life, love, work, all of it. Okay, Roger can come too.

| Miley Cyrus in Jean Paul Gaultier at the Billboard Awards: sexy or try hard? Posted: 21 May 2012 07:58 AM PDT
At last night’s Billboard Awards in Las Vegas, Miley Cyrus showed some serious skin in what looks like a simple blazer and heels with no pants to be found. Alas, this is an actual blazer dress from Jean Paul Gaultier, and Miley paired it with Christian Louboutin sandal heels along with her tanned cleavage and simple gold jewelry to jazz up the ensemble. I really like the unusual print on the shoes. Her figure looks stunning as well, but Miley also went for very big hair, and the overall effect is that I expect her to roll around on a car in a Whitesnake video. Am I the only one who gets that vibe? Miley is trying too hard here and wants some serious attention, I think.
Also, I’m obviously one for a bit of bedhead, but this is ridiculous.
Julianne Hough donned a Kaufmanfranco dress that fit the Vegas vibe because it reminded me a lot of something that the latest hot young starlet might wear to Caesar’s Palace. She looks great in this shiny, silvery, vaguely toga-like outfit that still flatters her fit figure and very long legs. Her hair is appropriate, but her eye makeup makes her look a little bit spacey.
Of course, Justin Bieber had to walk the red carpet looking like he always does. At this point, I’m just glad that I can’t see his underwear. Speaking of the Biebs, I know that some of you didn’t understand why I didn’t give him a hard time for basically sounding like an idiot in his GQ interview. Yes, he said some silly things (“I’m a swaggy adult!” comes to mind), but it’s not like he went racist or misogynistic in manner of John Mayer. What Bieber said in that interview didn’t hurt anyone … with the possible exception of himself, so I cut him a break.
Natasha Bedingfield is wearing … I don’t know. This black knit (?) dress is pretty cheap looking, and I couldn’t find a designer ID because it probably doesn’t exist. As in, she might have actually taken an old Snuggie and cut a few strategic holes to fashion her outfit for the evening. The coral lipstick and flower pinned in her hair also aren’t doing Natasha any favors.
Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa were there too. Amber’s never been known for a demure take on fashion, but that dress looks pretty painful on her boobs.

| Bobbi Kristina accepts award for her late mom Whitney Houston at the BMAs Posted: 21 May 2012 07:25 AM PDT
Whitney was posthumously awarded the Billboard Millennium Award, which Bobbi accepted on her behalf. She was accompanied on stage by her aunt, Whitney’s sister in law, Pat Houston. Bobbi was very well spoken and composed on stage. She did seem a little buzzed to me, but maybe she was just overwhelmed in the moment. She’s gone through so much these past three months. Here’s a little more, thanks to Radar Online.
[From Radar Online] I can’t imagine losing my mom when I was just 18. (Bobbi Kristina turned 19 in March.) My grandmother died when I was in my early 20s and I was devastated. It’s got to be even harder when your mom is famous and you’ve got to get dressed up, go out to an event and make a speech on her behalf. Krissi did an amazing job, though. Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend, 22 year-old Nick Gordon, was next to her in the audience. Like Krissi, he was wearing a pin with Whitney’s photo on it. Nick walked Krissi up on stage and gave her a kiss before she went on. It was sweet, and it made me worry less about the stories that he’s taking advantage of her. There was a lot of controversy when Krissi and Nick first got together, as Nick was raised by Whitney and Krissi used to consider him her “adopted brother.” The fact that he looks so supportive of her makes me think differently about their situation. Here’s video of the tribute to Whitney. Kriss comes on at about 6:00. |
| Did Kim Kardashian order Kanye around & ban him from seeing other girls? Posted: 21 May 2012 05:14 AM PDT
Ugh. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were still in London over the weekend, and there are literally 20 million new photos of them at various events, walking down the street and leaving various clubs and parties. Kim and Kanye both had business in London – she was promoting her latest fragrance ("True Reflection") and doing press for Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Kanye performed with Jay-Z at the O2 arena, and then Kanye, Jay and Kim all partied together at DSTRKT. Gwyneth Paltrow was there. Do you think Goop was nice to Kim? Do you think Kim will get a shout-out in a future Goop newsletter? Or will Gwyneth pointedly omit all Kardashian references in future name-dropping. Like, "Oh, yes, Kanye and Mr. Jay-Knowles-Z and I were discussing peacock feather enemas and some other people were there too, I forget their names." The British tabloids have been having a great time with Kim and Kanye actually hanging out in their city. A few days ago, The Sun claimed that Kim had been ordering Kanye around – which, do you think that ever happens? No.
[From The Sun] I'm always a bit put off by the Kardashian propaganda pushing a version of this hookup as "Kanye is so into Kim, he's been obsessed with her for years." While I think Kanye and Kim find each other mutually beneficial, I really have my doubts that it's like THAT. As for the fashion on display – Kim chose some particularly hideous getups, per usual. It was wishful thinking on my part to suggest that Kanye was maybe styling her for the better now. She still looks awful and refuses to dress for her body type. A note to Stella McCartney: you designed a hideous dress which was first worn by A-listers but is now being worn by the likes of LeAnn Rimes and Kim Kardashian. You should be ashamed.

| John Travolta accused of groping, assaulting two more men, now seven in total Posted: 21 May 2012 04:27 AM PDT
Masseur-Gate: Day ~~~. Are we headed into the third week of this mess? I think so. When we left off on Friday, there was a bonanza of news involving John Doe #2 hiring Gloria Allred (he called her, apparently), plus another masseur came forward and claimed that he had a night of passion with John Travolta back in 1997 after Travolta had flashed him during a massage. So, let's get to the latest! *Radar reports that two more men have now come forward, one a hotel employee from Seattle and one a masseur in Miami, also working for a hotel. Radar says these dudes bring the total to SEVEN MEN accusing JT of inappropriate contact, groping, etc. You can read the full story here. *The Miami dude, who goes by "Jeff" in this report, says that the incident went down in 2000. Part of his story: "[Travolta] was putting his hands where he wanted me to work and kind of grinding on the table." Travolta then reached over and put Jeff's hand on JT's bathing suit area (let's just say that, okay?), and Jeff pulled away: "I started working on his other leg and it all started back up again. He started putting his butt up in the air. I was just trying to do whatever I could to distract him but he started getting aggressive and grabbed my hand again.” After the massage, JT began jerking off and he told Jeff, "It's okay, you can do it. No one's going to know." ALLEGEDLY. Of course. *The Seattle dude's story is much different – he's not a masseur, he just worked at a Seattle hotel. After the hotel hosted an event for Qantas (JT is like their ambassador or something) in 2000, the hotel employee was cleaning up, and he says JT accosted him: "He came up right behind me and grabbed my ass… I turned around and saw that his [bathing suit area] was out of his pants." *John Doe #2's name has been identified in the press. Doe #2 has said that he doesn't want to be named publicly, so we're not going to do it. Naming him serves no purpose, especially if he is the victim of a sexual assault. *TMZ's coverage of this stuff continues to be rather strange. Like, I tend to think they're just trying to get in with JT's lawyer, Marty Singer, for future exclusives so they're just reporting whatever Singer says and not much else. TMZ has a report about how Doe #1 & Doe #2 have "dropped" their lawsuits and how they "dropped" the suits without being paid off by Travolta – which I believe, sort of. Technically, both lawsuits have been dropped, but both Doe #1 & #2 both went to Gloria Allred, so it's not like those men are running away from their claims. But yeah, Travolta hasn't paid them off. YET. *Gloria Allred has now officially “reached out” to Marty Singer. Meaning that the settlement negotiations have now begun, basically. So… once again, I have to wonder: what's the magic number? How many men have to come forward before Marty Singer stops with the blanket denials and witty retorts in the press? How many men have to come forward before this becomes a thing?

| Pippa Middleton wears red Issa to a friend’s wedding: inappropriate or fine? Posted: 21 May 2012 04:20 AM PDT
These are some photos of Pippa Middleton attending a friend's wedding in Scotland over the weekend. Her dress is Issa, in case you couldn't figure that out just by looking at the clingy Real Housewife-esque silk jersey fabric and the figure-hugging cut. You know Duchess Kate HAS this dress in blue – she wore it to her engagement announcement press conference. Kate can't wear Issa anymore because she has to be boring and classy and duchess-y nowadays. But this is the style of the Middleton girls – they love a clingy silk jersey. As for the color – it's being called "raspberry" – do you think it's appropriate wedding-wear? True, it's not white. I realize that the English think about dressing for weddings in a completely different way than Americans, but my take is that if you're going to a friend's wedding, you shouldn't wear white and you shouldn't wear red. You should avoid really bold colors and prints. You should make sure that everybody is looking at the bride, not at your visible panty line in a clingy red silk dress. Maybe that's just me? You can read more about the wedding here at The Mail. From what I could find out through British tabloid reports, Pippa was sort of dateless. Us Weekly says she went to the wedding with a female companion/friend. And I haven't heard anything about Pippa and George Percy in a while, basically ever since the gun incident in France. Did Percy dump her? Is Pippa back to being single, back on the hustle for a new titled boyfriend? Ah, the great husband hunt. Of course, there are rumors that Pippa is going to move to New York and stay in America for a while… which is interesting, if true. Will she end up with some Yank hedge-fund manager? How gauche! PS… why can't the Middleton girls learn to get out of cars like ladies? Keep your knees together. It's not that difficult.

| Katy Perry in pale violet Blumarine at the Billboard Awards: pretty or boring? Posted: 21 May 2012 04:18 AM PDT
Here’s Katy Perry at last night’s Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, where she’s still pulling the horrific dark lipstick look that makes her look like a slutty Morticia Aadams in a faux-gothy effort to remind us that her “music is about get real f&#*ing dark.” The hair is still violet, and it looks fine (by Katy standards), but I wish she’d trash the pseudo-hardcore lipstick because dark lips really wash out her complexion. Let’s talk about the dress. Katy wore Blumarine (like she did at Elton John’s Oscar bash), and this gown is kind of shapeless and very unlike Katy’s usual gimmicky take on fashion. It’s not an awful dress, but it just does very little for her normally tiny-waisted figure. Here’s the back view, which is slightly more interesting from that angle than it is from the front.
Perhaps one clue why Katy chose a relatively modest dress for the occasion is that she brought her grandmother as her date. That’s actually really sweet, and I’m sure grandma appreciated not having to pose next to her granddaughter’s massive cleavage on the red carpet. See? Katy can be respectful when she wants to do so.
Katy also performed at the awards, and she chose to showcase her upcoming single, “Wide Awake.” People got advance word that Katy was set to perform this song, which is supposedly about (surprise) her disastrous marriage to Russell Brand:
[From People] Sure enough, that tipster (probably Katy’s dad) was correct, and Katy performed “Wide Awake” during her live performance. Here are some more lyrics from the song and a video of her onstage as well.
[From YouTube] Poor Russell. He’s been walking around saying nice things about his estranged wife, and she’s still trying to cut him down during awards show performances with her silly pop songs. Of course, this song will probably hit #1 too, and then Katy will deny that she wrote it about him. It’s all part of her act, you know. Now back to Katy’s grandma — I love her sparkly cane! Such a nice touch.

| Taylor Swift, voluptuous in red Elie Saab at the Billboard Awards: beautiful? Posted: 21 May 2012 04:18 AM PDT
Here are some new photos of Taylor Swift at last night's Billboard Music Awards. Her gown is Elie Saab – isn't it nice to see her in a bright color? This red looks beautiful on her, and I'm so, SO happy it's not a pastel. It would have been great to see her do a sophisticated hairstyle with this gown, but… baby steps. This is a real improvement. It's also worth noting… is Swifty giving her new boobs their official red carpet debut? About a month ago, there were some whispers that Taylor Swift, famous for being a cute, flat-chested beanpole of a girl, had gotten a boob job. Hollywood Life ran several stories about Swifty's magical upgrade from an A-cup to a C-cup, although the photo evidence was kind of hit-or-miss. Yes, there was one photo set where Swifty's boobs looked seriously enlarged – and one Twitter photo where Swifty's magically busty cleavage was on full display. But in the weeks to come, there was some deflation… although it wasn't full deflation. Which makes me think that this whole "Swifty got a boob job" story was true, but she didn't go on for the bigger C or D-cup. She just upgraded to a solid B-cup, bordering on C, and she invested in some push-up bras and stuff. Just my opinion. Here's a photo of Swift on April 1st, once again:
And here she is last night:
So… yeah. From an A-cup to at least a B-cup. I think she's showing off her new boobs. I also think it's interesting that Swifty and her reps haven't explicitly denied the implant story – Gossip Cop ran a denial, but it was a weak one from an unnamed "source close to Swift." There hasn't been an official word. Interesting. Of course, it's her body, her choice. I'm just interested in how Swifty explains her boob job to her young fans.
