Liam Neeson is considering a conversion to Islam after trip to Istanbul Posted: 26 Jan 2012 08:59 AM PST Liam Neeson has the voice, bearing, conscience and heart of a holy man, in my opinion. I could easily see him, in another world, being a parish priest, a bishop, or God knows, even the most rough-and-tumble pope ever. Liam was raised as a strict Roman-Catholic, but it's believed that his faith in the Catholic church has dwindled over the years, and perhaps even faltered completely following the death of his much beloved wife Natasha Richardson. GAH – I just completely lost focus when I went back and re-read Liam's interview with Esquire last year, when he talked at length about Natasha. Anyway, Liam was recently filming in Istanbul, Turkey, and while he was enjoying the location, he found himself incredibly moved by the daily calls to prayer. And now he's thinking of converting?
[From The Mail] I think he's just talking, you know? He's not like, "I listened to the prayers and I found Allah!" He's just interested, as a student of religion, as a citizen of the world. He's not confined by his Catholic upbringing and he seems to be encouraging the peaceful study of all religions. Or, whatever, he's now a Muslim. What would the world look like if Liam Neeson converted to Islam? |
Brad Pitt “doesn’t think he’ll be able to hold out” on marrying Angelina Posted: 26 Jan 2012 08:30 AM PST Brad Pitt covers the new issue of The Hollywood Reporter, and this might be one of his best photo shoots in a long time. His scruff is contained, he looks clean and sober and dear God, the man can wear the hell out of a blue shirt. Much like Brad's Parade Magazine interview last year, Brad spends some time talking about how depressed he was when he was married to Jennifer Aniston, only this time he doesn't get so timeline-specific. Brad also discusses how he and Angelina will probably get married someday soon, and how they'll probably have more kids too. You can read the full THR interview here, and here are some highlights:
[From The Hollywood Reporter] I'm just including the tabloid-y highlights, obviously, but if you like Brad and/or you liked Moneyball, you should totally read the full piece, because there's a fascinating backstory as to how Brad personally shepherded that film into existence, and how he was the most hands-on producer ever. I found that very interesting, and it makes sense – part of the reason I loved Brad's performance in Moneyball was because it felt like a "lived in" character for Brad – and he actually had been living and breathing the project for years. Sigh… I really hope he wins the Oscar. |
Demi Moore went to the hospital with a seizure due to… whip-its? Posted: 26 Jan 2012 08:29 AM PST
[From TMZ] I don’t know if I’m buying this explanation as it seems strange. I found at least one story where someone witnessed a co-worker have a seizure after inhaling whip-its, so it’s definitely possible, but cocaine use can also cause seizures. If it’s a made up excuse it’s a clever one as it makes it sound like Demi was just doing something stupid once and that she paid the price. She’s so tiny that any drug must have a big effect on her. Yesterday we reported on a story in People that claimed that Demi was acting the fool on a night out with her daughter Rumer and Rumer’s buddies just prior to her hospitalization. Demi was said to have been grinding all over a 27 year-old actor, Ryan Rottman, who was last linked to 18 year-old Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice. (Really!) Not to be outdone, US Weekly has news of another wild night out for Demi at the same club, Beachers Madhouse, in which she was dancing on tables while guys watched her. That was on January 11. At an event with Rumer on January 15, Demi is said to have “ordered about a dozen Red Bulls that night.” So she’s drinking tons of Red Bull, hanging out with her 23 year-old daughter’s friends and doing whip-its. Demi definitely wants her youth back. Meanwhile, you remember how I wrote yesterday that Ashton Kutcher would probably rush to Demi’s side after her hospitalization, if only because it was the right thing to do? Sadly, I was wrong. Ashton is still in Brazil partying with young chicks and he’s still totally ignoring this. He hasn’t even tweeted encouragement to Demi, which makes me sad for her. She’s crying out for help and some kind of acknowledgment. The photos of Demi in the red dress are from 10-17-11. She’s gained a little much-needed weight in the most recent photos in the black dress, which are from the “Red Bull” night, 1-14-12 |
Tom Cruise has a father-daughter day at Disneyland with Suri Posted: 26 Jan 2012 08:24 AM PST These are some new photos of Tom Cruise and little Suri at Disneyland yesterday. I think these are sweet photos – as much as we bitch and moan about Tom Cruise and his lifts of delusion and his Xenu-centric lifestyle, he's a pretty-hands-on dad, and he adores Suri. I think it's adorable to see a father spending the day with his young daughter doing activities that he knows SHE will enjoy. Although… Suri's got a look on her face like, "I was told there would be more princesses!"
See? Nice. Nothing scandalous. Tom just had a day off and decided to spend it with his daughter, who… I guess she's being home-schooled at this point? There were rumors of Suri's enrollment in a Scientology school last year, but Katie seems to have taken Suri out of the school for NY Fashion Week, and then Suri just never returned. Tom is still riding high after Mission: Impossible 4 did so well at the box office – Cruise is back, bitches! So expect more photos of Tom showing off his good-dad cred! |
Kristin Cavallari shows off her barely-there baby bump with Jay Cutler Posted: 26 Jan 2012 07:22 AM PST Let's just cover all of this Kristin Cavallari stuff right now. I know I'm days late getting to this, and I have two excuses. One, I was sick as a dog with one of the worst stomach flus I've ever had in my life, and two, Kristin Cavallari is barely a celebrity. In her mind, she's like Kim Kardashian or something, some kind of mega-famous reality superstar and everyone pays attention to her comings and goings. At least, that's how she puts herself out there in my mind. Anyway, these are some new photos of Kristin and her on-again fiancé Jay Cutler. After Jay dumped her shortly before their wedding, Kristin ran around, making sure everyone knew that he was a terrible monster and she was just a poor little victim. And then something happened, and they got back together. Why? Don't know. Here's what I do know – very soon after Jay and Kristin got back together, Kristin made sure she had this thing locked down by getting pregnant in a hurry. Us Weekly initially reported Kristin's pregnancy on Monday, with sources (Kristin herself) telling the mag, "She is really happy. She is in the early stages, but she can’t wait to be a mom. They have just bought a house in Tennessee and can’t wait to start their family.” Kristin and Jay both confirmed the news too. And then TMZ reported this:
[From TMZ] Sure. I'm positive Jay was surprised. I'm sure Kristin just accidentally went off her birth control or whatever. In any case, it seems like Kristin sure got the news out fast, didn't she? She's not even showing – I bet she's not even two months along. Well played, Kristin? But that's not all – Jay also took to Twitter to defend his new baby-mama, telling the world, "We couldn’t be more excited. We don’t usually comment on our relationship but for the record I never broke up with Kristin. Its unfortunate some people are saying hurtful things during such a joyous moment in our life.” Ah, right. That's why Kristin was running around to People and Us Weekly, positioning stories about herself after she was dumped. Because she wasn’t dumped at all! It all makes sense now, Jay! |
Madonna’s boyfriend speaks: “I have not yet shown the world the extent of my talent” Posted: 26 Jan 2012 07:14 AM PST
[From OK! Magazine, print edition, February 6, 2012] He sounds like a total douche, right? “I had a number of female conquests. I have not yet shown the world the extent of my talent.” Then again Madonna isn’t keeping him around for his conversational skills and sparkling personality. His comment that “Things take their course” make it sound like these two are already broken up, but Brahim attended the W.E. premiere earlier this week, so probably not. At least Madonna kept him away from the red carpet. She doesn’t give her lovers much of the spotlight or make them stars like Clooney does. Madonna is going to whip his ass and take away his allowance for talking out of turn. It almost sounds like he’s disrespecting her here, but she probably likes a little insolence so she can hit back hard and keep her young lovers in line. Brahim is shown in August with Madonna and in July and September, 2011. Credit: FameFlynet and PacificCoastNews |
Jennifer Aniston “jokingly” mocks BFF Chelsea Handler’s lack of talent Posted: 26 Jan 2012 06:49 AM PST Jennifer Aniston is still on womb-watch, although I really thought most tabloids were on the same page about Aniston's bump of mystery – most have been claiming that she's already knocked up with Justin Theroux's hipster baby. Some reports have Jennifer already well into her second trimester, and some reports have Justin dumping his pregnant girlfriend because she's been nagging him constantly. Which makes this report from OK! Magazine (via Hollywood Life) kind of a buzz-kill, because they say Aniston is still in the "trying to get there" stages of bump-dom:
[From Hollywood Life] OMG, Justin Theroux is missing a sensitivity chip! OMG, he's UNCOOL. Whatever. I suspect that JustJen are fine, they're still together, and they will be through the promotion of Wanderlust, perhaps even longer. Incidentally, it seems like Aniston made a recent appearance to Chelsea Handler's After Lately show. The "gag" of the bit is that as soon as Chelsea leaves the room, Jennifer starts talking smack about her. I don't really find it funny though – because the "gag" criticisms Jennifer uses against Chelsea are true…? When Aniston is told that Chelsea has been really busy, Aniston says in part, “Doing what? I mean, gossiping about more successful people that are better looking than her? Or putting her name on another dumb book to make the world a dumber place? I mean, just ridiculous. 'Hi, I’m Chelsea. I really think that everything I say is funny.’ You know what I mean? It’s a shock that she really still has her own show.” Seriously – is that funny? Or is it just a moment of truth?

Remember when Lindsay Lohan clipped a baby? The baby’s nanny is suing. Posted: 26 Jan 2012 06:10 AM PST Remember back in 2010, when Lindsay Lohan was fresh out of jail/rehab/something, and she had gotten her hot little crack hands on a shiny new Maserati, and within days, she nearly ran over a nanny and a baby in a stroller? Go here and here for the recap – initially, the story was that the Cracken was obviously too cracked-out and entitled to look both ways before making a right on a red. She didn't see the nanny (with the baby in a stroller), and she clipped them. Radar claimed she didn't even stop – she just kept on driving. When Radar approached Camp Linnocent about the incident – which was witnessed by paparazzi! – she claimed, "I don't know what you're talking about." Then, hours later, TMZ magically had a different version of events – they claimed that LL had made a turn on a green light, that the nanny did not have the right of way, so obviously, the Cracken had every right to clip her and the stroller. TMZ also claimed that LL DID stop the car and ask the nanny if she was alright, and then she sped off. No charges were ever filed in the incident, although it definitely stuck with me as one of LL's nastier moments (in a lifetime full of nastiness). Well, as it turns out, all has not been forgotten! The nanny who got clipped is now suing LL:
[From Radar] TMZ's version is similar, although now they seem to acknowledge that LL did in fact run a red light, so the nanny probably did have the right of way. A witness to the incident told TMZ that the nanny "was in shock and Hispanic so she was scared.” Edit: Some of you are wondering about the “Hispanic” comment – I didn’t make it, and I don’t know what it means. My guess is that the “witness” to the incident assumed the nanny was an illegal alien, and thus, she didn’t want to get law enforcement involved. Look – you know how much I would love to see this crackhead sued into oblivion and thrown into jail. But that's just not going to happen with a 2-year-old car accident in which no complaint was ever filed in real time. Don't get me wrong, I believe LL clipped a baby, I believe she drove away without caring, I believe she was probably high as a kite at the time of the incident. But I also believe this nanny is probably just looking for a payout. Photos courtesy of WENN, Fame. |
Beyonce & Jay-Z want Oprah to be Blue Ivy’s godmother Posted: 26 Jan 2012 05:45 AM PST We have some assorted Beyonce news today, which makes me happy. Nothing makes me feel less sickly than thinking about the avalanche of lies that Beyonce has surrounded herself with, and where she goes from here. Radar and Media Takeout are reporting that Bey and Jay-Z have decided on little Blue Ivy's godmother – and no, it's not Rihanna. It's not Solange. It's not Kelly Rowland. And it's not even Gwyneth Paltrow. According to these sources, Bey and Jay want Oprah to be Blue Ivy's spiritual guardian! OPRAH.
[From Radar] Ha, Radar is still sticking with the "Beyonce had a C-section" story even though she claimed Blue Ivy was delivered naturally. As for the Oprah stuff – sure. I could see that. I could also see Kanye West being named the Godfather. What would it be like for little Blue Ivy to have Oprah and Kanye as godparents? In other Beyonce news, In Touch Weekly reports this week that Bey “hates her body right now,” so she's decided to do the "Master Cleanse" once again. The Master Cleanse is the liquid diet (which Gwyneth is always recommending) which involves "a mixture of water, maple syrup, lemon juice and cayenne pepper for at least ten days. Laxatives, either via pill or a salt water flush, are also part of the program." Do you really believe that Bey would go on The Master Cleanse less than a month after giving birth (naturally!)? Wouldn't it be easier for her to just take off the pillow? |
Star Mag: Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale are probably going to break up Posted: 26 Jan 2012 04:22 AM PST Can you believe that Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani have been together for ten years? That's kind of amazing, in the celebrity world and the music world. Although there have been some scandals involving Gwen and Gavin, I always think of them as one of the stronger family units around. Of course, I always thought that about Will Smith & Jada too, and they're probably dunzo. Anyway, over the years, Gwen has had to deal with certain stories about her husband that she may or may not have known about before the stories went public – stuff like Gavin's "one night stand" (or full-on relationship) with a drag queen named Marilyn, his one night stand with a woman that led to his fathering Daisy Lowe, and his relationship with Courtney Love, which may have overlapped with the start of his relationship with Gwen. And given all of these stories, Gwen and Gavin's marriage has suffered, and Star Mag claims they're almost done:
[From Hollywood Life] What to say about this? I wouldn't be upset or shocked if they split up, but it's going to take more than a ham-fisted Star Magazine story to make me believe that Gavin and Gwen are going to throw away their ten-year marriage. Call me a romantic, but I think they've weathered their rough patches rather well, and I think they've still got some years left together. |
