| Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchison’s Funny or Die skit with Jason Alexander Posted: 12 Jan 2012 09:20 AM PST
I just saw this on D-Listed and all I can say is “what the hell?” I’m getting flashbacks to when Heidi Montag did a Funny or Die commercial in which she basically played herself, but advocated for consumer protection. In Montag’s case she did a faux PSA and it worked. It wasn’t particularly funny, but it was watchable. Here we have Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchison playing themselves on a fake talkshow run by Jason Alexander. It’s just like all of their other talkshow appearances in that she plays the Lolita sexpot and her RL husband Doug is the “straight” man (although that’s up to question). There’s nothing particularly funny or unique about this bit. I had a hard time watching the whole thing and Jason Alexander is just lame. He hits on Courtney and smacks Doug across the face as some kind of couple’s therapy. This isn’t amusing to me at all. If you’re a big Seinfeld or Jason Alexander fan (I never was) you might enjoy this, like Emily did over at Evil Beet. She thinks that Courtney and Doug are up for mocking themselves, but I don’t see it that way at all. I think that Courtney and Doug are up for any and all publicity they can get, and they’ll take it where they can. Remember, they’re still trying to get some sort of reality show that isn’t happening for them. Courtney’s mom spoke to E! about this skit and she said that her daughter and son-in-law weren’t offended. Of course they weren’t:
[From E! Online] I thought it was funnier when Courtney and Doug showed off their little dogs on Australian TV. They were happier and more hopeful back then. Now they’re just kind of resigned to being punchlines, which is as it should be. This has me nostalgic for Heidi and Spencer’s brief stab at fame. They were famous for nothing and they staged ridiculous photo ops and planted stories in the tabloids, but they made sense. Like Paris Hilton, Heidi and Spencer seem almost quaint compared to some of the people that have hit the scene lately. It’s a slippery slope in the tabloid media.      |
| ‘Friends with Kids’ trailer: half the ‘Bridesmaids’ cast, half the charm? Posted: 12 Jan 2012 09:10 AM PST After the raging financial and critical success of Bridesmaids, Universal is obviously keen to develop a sequel even if Kristin Wiig isn’t on board, which she reportedly isn’t for the forseeable future. Melissa McCarthy has stepped up to declare that a Wiig-less sequel is a terrible idea, and she’s correct. Still, that doesn’t mean that Universal is above capitalizing upon a striking-hot iron, even if it results in certain disaster. In the meantime, half of the cast of Bridesmaids appears in an upcoming movie, Friends with Kids, which now has a new trailer. The movie is written, produced, and directed by Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jesica Stein), who is known best around these parts as “Jon Hamm’s girlfriend.” Westfeldt also stars in the film, which also stars Adam Scott and features Hamm along with Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Chris O’Dowd, Edward Burns, and Megan Fox. The story is basically that Westfeldt and Scott’s characters are thirtysomething BFFs who aren’t into each other romantically but decide to have a kid together and pursue future relationships with other people. Yeah, we already know where this is going, right? Here’s the movie’s official synopsis anyway:
And here’s the trailer for the Friends with Kids: The movie looks charming enough (for a matinee viewing) but, unfortunately, the trailer renders the entire plot utterly predictable, and I think a YouTube commenter said it best: “Well i have literally seen the entire film. good job. Now i dont have to waste my money.” Still, this looks like an okay way to pass a few hours for fans of the talent involved. Jon Hamm also sat down with Collider to talk about what Westfeldt went through to make this movie and how he helped her as much as possible:
[From Collider] Wasn’t that, for lack of a better word, sweet of Jon to do everything humanly possible to help his girlfriend get this movie made? It sounds like he really believes in her abilities too instead of just helping out the chick he’s sleeping with on a long term basis. Basically, he sounds like the perfect boyfriend. Oh yes, and I almost forgot to talk about Megan Fox, who is shaking things up by not only playing a hooker in The Dictator but also by playing “the new girlfriend” in this movie. Poor Megan is going to have to fight to get anywhere else in Hollywood, and I’m afraid she just doesn’t have the skills to do it. Friends with Kids opens March 9th.

| Jennifer Garner looks ready to pop, free of scandal and controversy Posted: 12 Jan 2012 08:50 AM PST There's not really much of a story with these photos, I just thought they were cute pics, and we haven't talked about Jennifer Garner in a while. I'm including new photos of Jennifer doing some grocery shopping yesterday, seemingly solo and doing almost everything herself. I'm also including photos of Ben and Jen from a few days ago, when they were spotted looking lovey-dovey coming out of a doctor's appointment. Even though Garner and The Dimple Parade have been photographed regularly the past few months, I really do feel like this has been her most low-key pregnancy. Jennifer and Ben Affleck seem tighter than ever – there hasn't been a scandal for them in a while, although I still think there's something more to the stories about his gambling. Still, they weathered the speculation well, and at this point, it kind of seems like their marriage is even stronger today than it was one year ago, or two years ago. Ben even seems happier to see the paparazzi around! I suspect that Jennifer really is pregnant with a boy, Ben's long-awaited son. I totally forget if Jennifer ever confirmed when the baby is due. I suspect it's coming up very soon, right? Look at that belly. No pillowy pregnancy for Jennifer. And it just blows me away how much cuter her style is when she's pregnant.

| Rooney Mara had a boyfriend this whole time, and he’s Ted Danson’s stepson Posted: 12 Jan 2012 08:16 AM PST Did you know that Rooney Mara has had a boyfriend this whole time? I'm sure someone knew that, but I didn't. Her boyfriend, Charlie McDowell, hasn't been on her arm at any of her big press events. She hasn't discussed him in interviews. These are the first photos of them together in months, and even then, they're candids, out and about in NYC and arriving at LAX yesterday. Even more stunning? Charlie McDowell has famous parents – he's the son of Mary Steenburgen and Malcolm McDowell. WTF?!?! Mary and Malcolm were together? They had a KID together? How do I have no knowledge of this? E! News put together a "getting to know… Roony Mara's boyfriend" piece that I found interesting:
[From E! News] That's it in a nutshell. Ted Danson's step-son is dating an heiress/actress who badmouths everyone and everything that came before David Fincher. I wonder how Charlie feels about that? Considering his conquests include Haylie Duff, he's probably happy that he's scored a soon-to-be A-lister, I guess. Now, does this change the idea I have of Rooney and David Fincher and their somewhat creepy relationship? Not really. I still think Rooney and Fincher were (or are) boning.

| Hot Guy People’s Choice: Matt Bomer, Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson & more! Posted: 12 Jan 2012 07:17 AM PST I'm not saying there is a dearth of good, sexy men in Hollywood. I'm just saying that not many of those good guys showed up for last night's People's Choice Awards. Of course, there were some nice surprises. Like… Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay, both of whom are two of my favorite people on television. Matt Bomer keeps getting so much attention and acclaim, all of it well-deserved. He's beautiful, he's talented, he's funny, and he seems like a really nice, humble guy. But I wish Tim DeKay would get noticed more – he's sexy in the way Harrison Ford used to be sexy. He seems like a normal, attractive, casually-sexy dude that you would run into at the hardware shop. I'm just saying… I would rather go to bed with Tim. And I would rather just stare at Matt Bomer forever and ever. Since I didn't watch but a few minutes of the awards show, I have no idea why Ewan McGregor was there. For why? Not that I'm complaining. He's always so lovely to look at. Here's Zachary Levi. With a fauxhawk. I don't get it. But I never did. For those of you who get hot for Levi, you know that Michael Fassbender exists, right? The Fassdong is not a myth! It is a reality. Stop liking dumb dudes with dumb hairstyles. Here's Ian Somerhalder. He's always been much, much too pretty for my tastes. His pretty overwhelms me and ultimately leaves me cold. Neil Patrick Harris is so adorable, and obviously, he's a vampire. He's 38 years old and he looks 25. I purposefully didn't choose a photo of NPH with his partner David, because I think David has a bitchy face, and he ruins Neil for me a little bit. David Boreanaz… how quickly you lost the hot once I found out you were a skeevy cheater who used to bone Rachel Uchitel. That can never be unseen. Nathan Fillion is super-cute, but does anyone else think that Castle has just gotten awful this season? I haven't even been watching it lately. I'll come back if the writing gets better, just because I love Nathan (and Seamus Dever!). Liam Neeson was at the People's Choice Awards, but he didn't pose on the red carpet, so we don't have any pics of him from the event. Fortunately, he also went to the premiere of The Grey last night, so here's a nice photo. He's so… swoon-worthy. I love him. Photos courtesy of Fame, WENN.    |
| Kelly Osbourne versus Jennifer Lawrence: whose stylist hated her more? Posted: 12 Jan 2012 06:35 AM PST The only thing that joins Kelly Osbourne and Jennifer Lawrence in my mind is that they both looked super-rough at last night's People's Choice Awards. I mean, I get it. It's JUST the People's Choice. No one is bringing their style A-game. But when making an appearance on a red carpet, I would really love it if celebrities would dress is a way where I would never have to use the phrase "wrath of God." That's what I thought when I saw Jennifer Lawrence – who is ordinarily a beautiful, stunning young woman. She has a great, athletic body and a gorgeous face. I have no idea why she chose to present herself this way. The Viktor & Rolf dress is… well, maybe someone will like it, but I think it's hideous, and it looks uncomfortable. But what's worse is Jennifer's styling and makeup. She looks like a half-dead zombie. Much, much too dark. It's not "sophisticated" it's just too dark. Meanwhile, I have no idea what Kelly Osbourne was trying to do here. I don't think she knows either, and she doesn't look pleased with her result. The dress is Honor – color blocking can be cute, but not with off-white and orange, and not on Kelly Osbourne. The only nice thing I can say is that I like the fit of the dress – if it was all one color, and that color was lavender or red, it would have been really interesting. But the worst part might be Kelly's hair? I think she was aiming for violet, but in photos, it just reads as old-lady grey. The length is good – imagine this cut and style, but in a shade of honey-brown with some red highlights. Wouldn't she look so much better like that? Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Jennifer Lopez gives her boy toy a 10,000 a week allowance Posted: 12 Jan 2012 05:47 AM PST
[Details from Star, writeup at Jezebel] How is that “old fashioned” to give a “boyfriend” that much money and then sit back and pretend that they’re paying for everything? Bedhead pointed me to this story in the Post that suggests that Madonna might be doing the same thing with her much-younger boyfriend, Brahim Zaibat. Brahim was seen paying the bill at a restaurant with Madonna, which may mean that she gave him a credit card that she pays off for him. It’s probably cheaper than just giving the kid a hefty allowance. I guess it’s less embarrassing for these ladies to try and keep up the illusion that they don’t have kept men. It should be embarrassing enough that they’re dating them in the first place. J.Lo and Casper are shown outside a jewelry store on 12-18-11. Credit: Fame    |
| Beyonce’s controversial delivery was investigated by NY Health Dept. Posted: 12 Jan 2012 04:26 AM PST I don't really want to talk about the scandals and conspiracies involved with Beyonce's (real or alleged) delivery of baby Blue Ivy at Lenox Hill Hospital. And yet… there are still tons of stories, and the scandal keeps growing by the day. After reports of multiple "peasant" parents being denied access to the prenatal unit at Lenox Hill – and denied access to their own newborn children while Beyonce and Jay were in the house – reports now indicate that the situation around baby Blue's birth is being investigated by the New York City Health Department. (UPDATE: TMZ reports that the investigation is over? O RLY?) Plus, the hospital is conducted their own in-house review of everything that went down. What will they find? Will they find that Beyonce and Jay spread around more than $1 million within the hospital to keep everyone quiet? Or will they find that Bey and Jay shelled out a large chunk of change for a temporary remodel of eight hospital rooms? That's what Us Weekly claims:
[From Us Weekly] Dear God. How f–king wasteful! They tore apart six to eight perfectly adequate rooms so that Blue Ivy could enter the world in her own VIP suite? And no one was allowed in there for a month? How does the hospital justify this kind of thing to its board? If it was just about sprucing up an existing suite or something, it would be a meh story. But taken with the stories of Bey and Jay's complete disregard for all of the "peasants" in the hospital, and now the idea that part of the prenatal wing was under construction just for THE BIRTH OF A PILLOW, the whole thing is just insane. TMZ has photos of the VIP birthing suite that Bey and Jay had constructed – you can see it here. TMZ says it includes “4 flat screen TV’s, state of the art electronics, a kitchenette, nice art, mahogany walls and plush furnishings.” Sources tell TMZ, “the suite was not constructed specifically for Beyonce, but it was always intended that Beyonce would be the first patient to use it.” WTF? Anyway, there are even more Blue Ivy stories. She's already the biggest little princess ever. Even the eventual child of Duchess Kate and Prince William will not roll in the kind of luxury that Blue Ivy is getting. This is what has been allegedly stacked up for Blue – the list is worth more than $1.5 million, and includes: *A "fantasy" crib fit for Cinderella – a coach-like crib from PoshTots, for which her her parents paid nearly $20,000. *A solid-gold, handmade horse from Japanese jeweler Ginza Tanaka that Jay-Z bought for $600,000. (This has been denied in some outlets.) *A $15,000 highchair dripping with Swarovski crystals. *A $285 Jean-Paul Gaultier dress. *A $30,000 windmill playhouse. *A trunk full of children’s books, a present from Oprah. [Via The NY Post & The NYDN] I can't even. You know she's just going to be pooping, sleeping and nursing for the first three months or so, right? These are all photos from a trip Bey and Jay took to Paris in late April of last year. Bey would have been almost two months along in her pregnancy. Maybe that was why her face looked so jacked?

| Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie met with Pres. Obama in the Oval Office Posted: 12 Jan 2012 04:23 AM PST As you may remember, in 2009, Us Weekly (and other tabloids) claimed that Angelina Jolie totally hated President Obama. The reasoning was vague, but the gist was that Angelina is more conservative than anyone realizes and she's a chip off of the ol' block (the ol' block being her crazy father). I bring this up because yesterday, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were invited to the White House, and they accepted. They apparently met Pres. Obama in the Oval Office - you can see some long-distance photos here, shot through the Oval's windows by photographers on the lawn. Angelina was wearing a black pencil skirt and a black turtleneck, and she looked pleased. Brad was wearing a suit and tie, and he looked hero-worship-y. Brad's met Obama before – they discussed NOLA back in 2009. This is the first time Obama and Angelina have ever met, though. And apparently, it was a brief meeting – Obama was on his way to Chicago. Oh, here's video! I like the guy saying, "Hey, that's BRAD PITT!" According to the Associated Press, Brangelina "dropped by" the White House (for real? I would think they were officially invited, right?) so that Angelina and Pres. Obama could discuss Angelina's "work on preventing mass atrocities and combating sexual violence against women." The night before, Angelina and Brad had done the red carpet for a screening of In the Land of Blood and Honesy at the Holocaust Museum (which, if you've never been to, you should really go – it's a really comprehensive museum). While on the carpet, Angelina got a few questions about Obama and whether or not she hated him. When asked about the report that she hated the president, Angelina said, "Reported by who? By Us Weekly? You gotta read better papers!" After Tuesday's screening, People Magazine reports that Brangelina went out to dinner with some Washington power players, including Valerie Jarrett, one of Obama's senior advisors. And Angelina even ate some solids! She had roast chicken, which sounds so good to me right now.
[From People] I suspect that it was Valerie Jarrett who got Angelina and Brad in to meet the president, right? It was less of a "drop by" and more of an invitation. I don't know why that's bugging me so much – I just don't think Angelina and Brad are so full of themselves that they think they can just "drop by" the White House unannounced. There has to security clearances and background checks and a White House staffer has to formally escort you wherever you go. Anyway, I’m sure this was only the first meeting in a long line of negotiations in which Pres. Obama will gradually hand over power to Empress Zahara. Photos courtesy of Fame, WENN.    |
| Is Katy Perry getting over Russell Brand by hooking up with Tim Tebow? Posted: 12 Jan 2012 04:19 AM PST Anyone ready for a new rumor about Katy Perry getting a new quickie boyfriend to get over her divorce Russell Brand? Well, here’s a really random one. Of course, it’s not entirely random because it would make total sense for Katy to date the dude in question — if it wasn’t merely two weeks after Russell filed divorce papers. Not even I can believe that Katy would move that fast. Regardless of common sense, a new story (which originated in OK! Magazine) pushes the theory that Katy is now looking to get busy with Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. Like I said before, this match would ordinarily make a lot of sense. Both Katy and Tim both grew up in a very controlled religious environment (beyond football, Tebow’s also famous for being the inspiration behind the Tebow Bill, which is still pending but would allow homeschooled athletes to play for their district teams) and find themselves in the midst of inexplicable fame (yeah, I went there). Yes, this story is probably absolute nonsense, but it makes some sense in theory, so that’s probably why OK! is probably running with it. Naturally, Katy’s sketchy parents are said to approve of this newfound match as well.
[From Hollywood Life] Sure, I’ll believe that Katy will be the first one to move on, publicly at least. Who knows, Russell might already be shagging random babes, but he probably has at least enough decency to keep things under wraps for the immediate future. If and when Katy starts getting hot and heavy with a new guy, she’ll be shoving it down our collective throats. However (and I could be wrong), I just cannot buy that Katy is moving on already. If she’s thinking about hooking up with Tebow to make Russell jealous, well, that won’t work at all. Look at what happened the last time she tried to call Russell’s bluff. He filed for divorce. And since Katy’s still reportedly looking to patch things up (she’s even supposedly called off her latest public appearance to that effect), this story just doesn’t wash … if for no other reason than that Tebow would (theoretically) be quite keen to start a family with any future lady love. And Katy don’t play that game, right? Still, Tim Tebow is kind of cute. I’d probably go there if I was into sexual frustration. Photos courtesy of Fame        |
