| Whitney Houston’s death is a suspected accidental overdose, possible drowning Posted: 12 Feb 2012 08:18 AM PST As we reported last night, Whitney Houston passed away in Beverly Hills on Saturday at the Beverly Hilton. She was 48 years old. She passed away during Grammy Weekend – where musicians, pop stars, rap and hip-hop stars and everyone and anyone involved in the music industry descends on LA for pre-Grammy parties and the actual Grammys, which are still scheduled for tonight. Ever since Whitney's rep confirmed Whitney's death, there has been a rush of information. Here are some bullet points: *Whitney was discovered by a member of her entourage, likely a bodyguard. The person called hotel security, who in turn called 911. Whitney was unresponsive (likely already dead) when the EMTs arrived. TMZ's sources claim that the night before her death (Friday), Whitney “partied heavily” at the hotel, "drinking and chatting loudly with friends in the bar." Both Whitney's mother (Cissy) and her cousin (Dionne Warwick) spoke to Whitney just hours before her death, and they both say she sounded fine. *Whitney's daughter Bobbi Kristina "got into an angry shouting match with police officers outside the hotel room where her mother was found dead." Hours after Whitney's death, Bobbie Kristina tried to see her mother's body, but she was told no one was allowed in. Dionne Warwick was also sent away. *The LAPD's initial assessment is that there is no foul play. TMZ's sources (probably inside the LAPD) claim that "no illegal drugs have been found in the hotel room where Whitney Houston died" but they've found prescription drugs. Allegedly, Whitney was found in the bathtub, and EMTs removed her from the tub, and there are suspicions Whitney might have passed out and drowned. There's also a theory that she simply overdosed. Allegedly, no alcohol was found in the room either. *TMZ says Whitney was taking Xanax. Xanax mixed with alcohol = not good. But! Radar says the LAPD found “a plethora of sedatives including Lorazepam, Valium, Xanax, and a sleeping medication that was found in her hotel room." The autopsy will take place today or tomorrow, and the assumption (by Radar’s sources) is that Whitney accidentally overdosed. *Whitney's last film, Sparkle, is still scheduled to be released later this year. Sparkle is a remake of a 1976 film about young musicians struggling with addiction. Whitney had bought the rights to the story a decade ago, she executive produced the remake, and she costars as the mother of Jordin Sparks' character. The last time Whitney was in a film was in 1996, in The Preacher's Wife. *Listen to the isolated vocals of Whitney singing "How Will I Know" here. *Tony Bennett is using Whitney's death to campaign for the legalization of drugs. His argument is lacking. *Whitney's last interview was with Access Hollywood? You can see it here. *Read some statements from celebrities who loved Whitney here and here. *Grammy producers are scrambling to add last-minute tributes to Whitney during tonight's broadcast. Jennifer Hudson is coming on to perform "a respectful musical tribute" to Whitney. Allegedly, Chaka Khan might join her. My guess is that some of Lady Gaga's performance time is being cut to make room for Whitney's tribute. *Bobby Brown cried during a concert last night. RIP Whitney, you will be deeply missed.

| Angelina Jolie wears a sparkly Jenny Packham in Berlin: lovely or dated? Posted: 12 Feb 2012 07:29 AM PST Here are photos of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at the Berlin Film Festival premiere of In The Land of Blood and Honey. Angelina wore this Jenny Packham gown which… I have mixed feelings about. It seems somehow under-dressed for this Berlin red carpet, probably because the dress actually looks so comfortable. It reminds me of what I always think of Angelina's default style – she's very influenced by 1970s stuff, probably because of her mom’s style and how she (Angelina) grew up. This seems like the kind of dress Lauren Hutton or Bianca Jagger would have worn to Studio 54 in the '70s. Now, that being said, it's not a BAD dress. I kind of like the sparkly faux-animal print pattern. The color is beige-y, which I'm sure Angelina loves (bitch loves neutrals). Let her get this crap out of her system, so she can really rock something awesome at the Oscars. Bitch better work a jewel tone, and her hair better be pulled off her face, and I want her dripping in jewelry too. Sigh… I wish she would let me style her, I really do. I could make her look awesome. Angelina and Brad are probably en route to London as we speak. They're due at the BAFTAs tonight – I just saw photos of George Clooney in London last night, and Michael Fassbender is due at the event too. We should be getting some good photos! I'm excited. The BAFTAs are always good for winter-style eveningwear, because it's always so cold in London for the event. Lots of long-sleeved evening gowns and long evening coats and capes, a lost art for many fashion designers. Photos courtesy of WENN, Fame/Flynet.    |
| Kim Kardashian’s kat-face was invited to a pre-Grammy party: awful & jacked? Posted: 12 Feb 2012 06:51 AM PST Here are some photos from various pre-Grammy parties and events from the past few days. I was going to start it off with Katy Perry and her giant flower head, but that was before I saw these Kim Kardashian photos. Kat-face was at Clive Davis's pre-Grammy gala last night – how terrible does she look? That's not a rhetorical question – we really need to discuss how badly Kim is screwing with her face. And her boobs look really uncomfortable too. Size 2, y'all. These are the photos that people were talking about yesterday, before Whitney Houston died – Katy Perry at the MusicCares event on Friday night, wearing a gigantic, Gaga-esque headpiece flower and an old-timey lace dress. This is such a dumb famewhore move to make. Frankly, it's something I'd really only expect of Gaga. On Katy, it just seems sad and try-hard. And that dress is so fug! And here's Katy yesterday at the pre-Grammy Roc Nation event. She looks so '80s. Rihanna at the same Roc Nation event. I actually kind of like her with this blonde hair now. And I think the jumpsuit is kind of interesting too. Here's Britney Spears at Clive Davis's pre-Grammy gala. Britney looks… good? Honestly, I think she looks tired and a little bit out of it, but she seems pretty healthy too. Cute dress. Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Scarlett Johansson vacations in Hawaii with Nate Naylor, shows off her bikini body Posted: 12 Feb 2012 06:26 AM PST Here are some photos of Scarlett Johansson on vacation in Hawaii with some friends, and with her new boyfriend/ad man/the most beautiful man in the world, Nate Naylor. There aren't that many pics of Nate on the beach, the photographers were just concentrating on Scarlett in her bikini. There were several stories in this week's tabloids about Scarlett and Nate, all of them in the same "He's so amazing, Scarlett is so lucky to be with him" vein as People Mag's ass-kissy article introducing him to the world. Is Nate the one "leaking" all of these quotes about how great he is? I hope not, but I suspect he is. A source tells Us Weekly, "They met though mutual friends. And they were hot and heavy right off the bat.” They were briefly separated while Scarlett worked in Scotland, and "Scarlett missed him while she was in Europe. Now they’re really going to spend time together.” You can see a photo of them making out here. Beyond the Nate stuff, people are talking about Scarlett's body in this bikini. Personally, I think she looks good. Yes, she has some cellulite – most people do. It's not the end of the world, and I think the way the sunlight is hitting her body is affecting the "look" of the cellulite anyway. But seriously, she has a really nice figure – she looks like she eats and works out sometimes, but she doesn't get stressed about it. I'll make fun of her for being a vapid twit, but not for her figure. The only thing bugging me is that her boobs look so much smaller in that bikini top, right? Are her boobs actually that small, or is that bikini top just really unflattering? Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet.    |
| Whitney Houston has died at the age of 48 Posted: 11 Feb 2012 05:47 PM PST Whitney Houston’s rep has just confirmed the sad news – Whitney has passed away at the age of 48. The cause of death is unknown. Whitney had been famous for going on three decades – her powerful, beautiful voice was nurtured in gospel choirs and then in 1980s, she went pop and R&B. Throughout her music career, she won six Grammys and 22 American Music Awards. Her cover of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” is one of the most popular songs of all time.
[From People Magazine] Unfortunately, Whitney’s death is likely drug-related. I’m not saying that to be nasty – Whitney had openly struggled with addiction for many, many years. Her tell-all interview with Oprah several years ago was particularly eye-opening for the information she gave about the length of her addiction issues, and the extent. On Friday, many sites ran with photos of Whitney leaving a club in LA, looking bloody, disheveled and wasted – you can see those photos here. Whitney is survived by her only child, daughter Bobbi Christina, who turns 19 years old next month. It’s also believed that Whitney was currently dating Ray J, for what it’s worth. Our thoughts and prayers to Whitney’s family, friends and loved ones. UPDATE: Radar claims that Whitney died at the Beverly Hilton. She was pronounced dead at 3:55 PM PST. Bobby Brown is in Memphis and is said to be “struggling and devastated.” Bobbi Kristina is in Los Angeles reportedly. Also, some sources are claiming that Ray J found Whitney’s body, but Ray J’s rep says he wasn’t there. Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Angelina Jolie at the Berlin Film Festival: “I have a real view of the real world” Posted: 11 Feb 2012 10:38 AM PST Yesterday, we learned that Angelina Jolie and the kids are in Berlin. In addition to taking the kids to Legoland and making a "quiet visit" to the Memorial for the Murdered Jews of Europe, Angelina is premiering In The Land of Blood and Honey at the Berlin Film Festival today – these are some pics from the photo call. I dislike her dress. It's not sack-y enough to be an official "Jolie Sack" but it's not fitted enough to be flattering. Basically, it's just a kind of ugly dress with a bad fit. Yesterday, Angelina met with Germany's foreign minister to discuss UNHCR business – we don't have those photos, but you can see them here. Jolie wore all-white, like an ANGEL! Blah. That coat look medical too – like she's been working in her laboratory, right? Angelina also has a new interview that is getting a lot of play for whatever reason – here's the video: She talks about how she finds "balance" between her Hollywood life and her "real" life. I understand what she's saying here, and I'm totally a fan (you know I am)… but she's coming across as a little bit sanctimonious when she says stuff like:
[Via Us Weekly] Yes, I understand. I get that she's changed and this is her journey and she's a better person now. But enough about how "shallow" and "horrible" her life would be without her "real work," you know? It just seems like she’s judging other people for not living her kind of “real” life. I'm including some photos of Angelina with the cast, including Goran Kostic (who still looks like a meth-y Daniel Craig to me) and Zana Marjanovic (who is so pretty). Angelina's legs do not look good here, especially compared to Zana's. I wish I had the skinny-legs gene. Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Madonna slams M.I.A.: “It’s such a teenager, irrelevant thing to do” Posted: 11 Feb 2012 10:25 AM PST Well, as it turns out, the British tabloids got it right. The only thing I'm going to give Madonna credit for is that she waited five days to throw M.I.A. under the bus. Just to recap, during the Super Bowl Half-Time show, Madonna performed her new (terrible) song "Give Me All Your Luv" with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. You know exactly why Madge "collaborated" with Minaj and M.I.A. Madonna knows why she collaborated with them too. Because she's 50-something years old and she desperately wants to be young again, and failing that, she's trying to "borrow" the youth of performers like Nicki and M.I.A. Anyway, during the half-time show, M.I.A. slipped the bird to the camera while singing "I don't give a sh-t…" Here's the video again: The British tabloids claimed that Madge was seriously pissed off at M.I.A. for basically stealing focus from her – classic Madge, right? What would Madge be if not a giant vacuum of narcissism? As it turns out, the tabloids were right – Madonna really is pissed off at M.I.A. She said so during an interview with Ryan Seacrest yesterday:
[From Us Weekly] "It’s such a teenager…irrelevant thing to do…" Is it wrong to admit that I agree with the argument Madge is making (but not WHY she is making it)? It was just a dumb, immature thing for M.I.A. to do. But that's not why Madonna is pissed off. Madge is pissed off because A) She didn't think of doing it first and B) Doing "teenage" things is Madonna's game, bitch and C) No one was talking about MADONNA!!!!!!!!! Waaaaah!

| Emma Watson in red-pink Valentino in London: the best she’s ever looked? Posted: 11 Feb 2012 10:00 AM PST We haven't heard or seen much of Emma Watson since she began "studying abroad" at Oxford University last fall. After much consternation and name-calling (on my part), I was so happy to see her go back to school and avoid the pitfalls of becoming a child-star-turned-party-girl (see: Lindsay Lohan). I was also happy to Emma go back to school because it's given me a chance to miss her. These are our first photos of Emma since the UK premiere of My Week With Marilyn last November, and at that point, Emma had already "disappeared" for several months too. This is smart – only make one appearance every few months. Let people miss you. Let your red carpet appearances become an "event". This is the path that Emma Roberts should be following – but she isn't. Anyway, Emma was the hostess of a Lancome-sponsored pre-BAFTA event in England yesterday. Emma is one of the faces of Lancome, a decision I wasn't happy with, but whatever. This is maybe the best Emma has ever looked, right? I'm not imagining things? This red-pink Valentino dress is perfect – sexy, young, girly, feminine and not saccharine. There's a peek-a-boo effect with the lace that adds an interesting dimension, and I'm pretty sure I'm seeing the shadow of a nipple. Is that trashy? Or does it add some mystique? I kind of like it – it's not overt, like she's falling out of her dress or something. She just needs some nip-tape. Overall, I think this dress and Emma are a perfect fit together – small-busted girls get to wear all of the CUTE stuff, damn it. I also love that her lipstick doesn't perfectly match the dress too – it complements the dress, but it's not too matchy-matchy. And how great is it that she's growing out her Bieber hair?
