Keanu Reeves in Berlin: is he messing with his face, or is he a vampire? Posted: 15 Feb 2012 09:12 AM PST
[From Contact Music] The Hollywood Reporter has a quote from the director, Chris Kenneally, describing the film. “Cinema is at a tipping point. Digital has challenged, and in some ways completely overturned, a process of making movies on photochemical film that has been a tradition for over one hundred years. Side by Side is an intimate conversation between Keanu and the top professionals in the industry about this revolution and its impact.” I would see it just for Keanu, especially to see him interview people in the industry. He’s such a thoughtful, decent guy and we don’t get enough of him. Let’s talk about how amazingly young Keanu looks here at 47. It might just be the fact that he’s borderline clean shaven for once, but he looks like he’s botoxed to me in that he’s so smooth and young looking still! Kaiser tells me he’s just a vampire with good genes, though, and she might be right. I guess he’s looked preternaturally young for a while and all the scruff and hair he used to have was disguising it. In the one photo (below) of him looking down while smiling you can see that he has lines and a little puffiness around his eyes. Still, he’s in Hollywood and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s doing a little something to achieve that “15 years younger” look. Maybe some laser resurfacing or something minor. Here’s my favorite part of these photos, Keanu’s beat to hell sneakers! Look at those things, it’s like he has one pair and refuses to wear any other shoes. My kid is like that, but I try to talk him into changing them up well before the shoes get to that stage. Here’s Keanu in June of last year for comparison. He sort-of looks the same, just with a beard. There’s something different about his eyes, but that could be due to the fact that he’s smiling. Photo credit: WENN.com |
Kate Upton gets Blake Lively’d, critics say Kate’s too cheap & downmarket Posted: 15 Feb 2012 08:28 AM PST Yesterday, I covered Kate Upton's introduction to the big league – she garnered the cover of this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, which will likely be her biggest calling card for years to come. While I was doing five minutes of research on her, I grew to like her a little bit. She's only 19 years old, she's cute, she's blonde and she has big boobs. She's not trying to be "deep" or “high fashion” and she's not trying to convince us she's something she's not. It is what it is. Anyway, I was shocked to see that Kate has haters. The day her SI cover was revealed, the New York Times had a judgy piece full of bitchy quotes, all about how Kate isn't all that and a bag of chips. For the love of God! You can read the full piece here, and here are some highlights:
[From The NYT] "She's like a footballer's wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy." YIKES! That was one of the bitchiest things I've ever heard. Even Karl Lagerfeld is like "TOO FAR." But you know what this reminds me of? Blake Lively and her Chanel contract. Everybody thinks Blake is so down-market because she's blonde and has nice (fake) boobs and she smiles a lot. Kate Upton = Blake Lively. They're very similar, aren't they? Lots of ambition, great figures, both are "accessible" and both are NOT "high fashion." Here are some photos of last night's SI party. I like this girl, but she looks kind of busted here, right? |
Chris Brown: “Hate all you want, because I got a Grammy now!” Posted: 15 Feb 2012 08:15 AM PST
In interviews, Chris has been less than willing to take responsibility for his actions or to even talk about that night. He busted up a dressing room at Good Morning America last year after Robin Roberts asked him a question about the incident. Plus, he just comes across as a total a**hole. I know the kid is young at 22, but he’s behaved like a whiny bitch for years. He’s tweeted homophobic slurs on several occasions, once to a molestation victim. He regularly parks in handicapped parking spaces despite warnings, and he seems entirely unaware of how lucky he is to even be able to get paid to sing and perform. He complains constantly when anyone dares question him. Chris has had a career comeback lately that has raised a lot of eyebrows. Many people were disgusted to see him both perform at the Grammys and win a Grammy for Best R&B Album, and Chris has a message to all of them: in your face, basically. The title of this story doesn’t capture how pissy he was about it, since he used all caps and added an expletive for effect:
So selling drugs in the past is equivalent to beating on women in Chris’ world. At least he deleted it, but he surely had some prompting. This is but a small sample of the kind of behavior that should have sunk this kid’s career years ago. He makes a lot of money for a lot of people so they’re going to continue to let it slide. Not everyone in the industry is a team Breezy apologetic, though. Miranda Lambert tweeted that she didn’t “get it. He beat on a girl.” Other celebrities, like Sherri Shepherd, Jack Osbourne and Wil Wheaton had similar sentiments. There were also some very good editorials about this, particularly Sasha Pasulka’s (formerly of Evil Beet) at Hello Giggles and Marlow Stern’s at The Daily Beast. These editorials and tweets were made before Chris tried to call his Grammy “the ultimate F*** off” to anyone that dared question his career. Meanwhile people are showing Chris love on Twitter and basically writing that they’d take a beating for him anytime. Kaiser pointed me to analysis of this disturbing trend by Slate and Jezebel. I just don’t get it at all. How could anyone even joke about that? Here’s Chris outside a recording studio on 2-10-12 and out shopping on 12-4-11. Credit: FameFlynet |
Russell Brand shagged a mystery brunette, who does the walk of shame Posted: 15 Feb 2012 08:00 AM PST Russell Brand has been spending his post-Katy Perry days with a steady dose of yoga and bare feet. Admittedly, I don’t understand why he would go barefoot in the street (I’ve included those photos at the end of this post), but maybe it’s just one of his quirks. Sort of like his jaunty scarves — now he has a purple one to match his yoga mat! But even though the scarves rotate, Russell is quite fond of wearing the same “lightning bolt” t-shirt to yoga class. I can only assume he uses the lightning bolt to direct attention down towards his crotch area. Anyway, I’m sure Russell quite enjoys the act of positioning himself within the last row during yoga class so that he can appreciate the view while flowing into “downward dog” pose. He’s officially back in the game now too, since a “mystery brunette” was spotted doing the walk of shame outside his front door. You can see the photograph here, and the woman looks almost triumphant. Of course, Kaiser, CB, and myself all agree that her outfit is pretty trashy and designed to seduce a man on the rebound, and CB points out that she’s left the price stickers on her shoes. Well, no one ever accused Russell of dating classy women, right?
[From The Sun] Yes, the ink is barely dry on Russell and Katy’s divorce papers, but at least he didn’t sign with a heart and happy face combo, and even though there have been rumors of his him shagging other chicks, he’s at least taken enough care to not have one photographed outside his home until now. Oh, and those rumors that he’s been texting with Zooey Deschanel? Those were recently debunked by Zooey herself, who says, “I literally do not know him.” Yeah, I think Russell will stick with “mystery” chicks for awhile and steer clear of dating anyone high profile, so Zooey is probably safe from his clutches. Meanwhile, Katy is getting over the divorce by making more money. The Sun reports that she’s just signed a new multi-million dollar deal as the face of Proactiv despite the fact that she was freely walking around with her acne in full view while she endorsed the company in 2010. Just to be clear — I’m not saying anything is wrong with having acne (we all have it!), but I suspect that Katy’s skin doesn’t take kindly to her habit of consistently piling on pounds of makeup every day. As for Russell? He’s still a bad, bad boy in more ways than one and was photographed talking on his cell phone while driving, which is still against the law in California.

Kris Humphries wants to legally destroy Kim Kardashian & take all of her money Posted: 15 Feb 2012 07:52 AM PST You might find this Life & Style cover story boring, but it actually amused me. I think it was Todd at IDLYITW who pointed this out first – that Kris Humphries' current legal strategy is "trying to annul the marriage so the prenup isn't a factor, then taking all of the Kardashian money." You may cheer Kris Humphries on for that, but please remember this – Kris Humphries is a d-bag, and when asked anything about anything, he just stutters, "Basketball… um, er… basketball… um… basketball." Go ahead and hate on Kim Kardashian too… but don't do it at the expensive of hating on Humphries. They're BOTH d-bags. Does it make a difference if Kris Humphries seems to have the better team of lawyers, though? Because it sounds like he does. And it sounds like he's about to legally destroy Kim.
[From Hollywood Life & Life & Style] I think the weakest legal argument is that "Kris Humphries was too dumb to get his own lawyers and managers, and that's why you should give him money." But put that argument with everything else… and I think Kris is getting a large chunk of change from the Kardashian coffers. My guess is that Kim doesn't want to see this litigation all the way through – she'll offer Humphries a large settlement and a non-disclosure agreement. We'll see if he takes it. Oh, and they never had sex once they were married? LOL, do you believe that? |
Duggars to show baby’s memorial & Michelle learning of miscarriage, want more kids Posted: 15 Feb 2012 07:05 AM PST
[From The Today Show] It must be comforting to believe in an afterlife so much that you know you’ll see your loved one again. I know that sounds snotty but I honestly mean it. I’ve heard my religious friends say similar things about people they’ve lost. This is how the Duggars make a living now, and they’re promoting their show and sharing their trials with the world. Unlike other visits to NY City, Jim-Bob and Michelle were on their own without their kids. They have plenty of little babysitters at home I guess. I found it surprising that they describe being grandparents as enjoyable because there’s no responsibility. How much responsibility do they feel for their own kids? We’ll soon see another huge family, their friends the Bates with 19 children of their own, on TLC.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Jim-Bob and Michelle are shown at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington DC on February 10, 2012. I guess they left their kids at home for that, too. Credit: Mark Wilkins/FameFlynet Pictures |
Jennifer Aniston celebrated her 43rd birthday at the Marmont, with cocktails & cigs Posted: 15 Feb 2012 06:15 AM PST Justin Theroux was in charge of throwing Jennifer Aniston a birthday party this year. She just turned 43, and on Saturday, Justin rented out the penthouse suite of the Chateau Marmont and invited all of Aniston’s celebrity friends to the party. There were even some blurry photos of Justin and Jen making out on the balcony – and of Aniston lighting up. So much for her claim that she's quit smoking – although she probably has "quit" and she maybe just decided to light up for her birthday? Quitting smoking is hard, and that's the way you rationalize it – "It's my birthday, I can have one cigarette!" And soon you're back to smoking every day. Us Weekly has more about the party:
[From Us Weekly] So, she's drinking martinis and smoking cigarettes. The girl's not preggo. And she's probably not trying to get pregnant either. Which is fine… her body, her choice. It's only noteworthy because her fans want her to get pregnant so much, and she plays into that desire too often. Is anyone else surprised that Courteney Cox was there? It seems like Aniston and Cox have been avoiding each other for a while – pretty much as long as Chelsea Handler is cozying up to Aniston. Cox has been avoiding the two of them. I wonder which "friend" Justin Theroux prefers? PS… Ten bucks says the Marmont’s crackie-in-residence Lindsay Lohan tried to crash the party. Right? |
Kate Winslet disrespects her early work: “I’m sure I wasn’t really a very good actress” Posted: 15 Feb 2012 04:56 AM PST Sigh… I miss Kate Winslet's old face, I really do. I saw this Ladies Home Journal cover staring out at me at the gym, and I was like, "Damn it, Kate! STOP." In my opinion, it was a really bad eye job that is still "settling in." Plus Botox. Plus lies. Anyway, she covers the March issue of LHJ… for some reason…? Is she promoting a new project or is she just promoting the 3D re-release of Titanic? Who knows. In the LHJ interview, she talks about her charity work, but in another new interview, she discussed the Titanic 3D experience:
[From Celebrity Chatta & Us Weekly] I'm not sure what I think about Kate disrespecting her old films like that – she got her first Oscar nomination for my favorite film of hers, Sense & Sensibility, and she was only, like, 19 or 20 years old then. And you know what? I think she might have even been a better actress back then. When was the last time you saw a current Kate Winslet film and walked out thinking "Kate Winslet is awesome, she nailed that." Don't say The Reader. While she was fine in The Reader (not Oscar-worthy, but fine), that movie was terrible. What else do you have? Little Children? Maybe. But I tend to think Kate will always be beloved as an actress because of her early roles in S&S and Titanic. She was simply a more "natural" actress back then. She was fresh and different and interesting to watch. Not so much any more. |
Angelina Jolie premieres ‘ITLOBAH’ in Sarajevo, discusses situation in Syria Posted: 15 Feb 2012 04:32 AM PST Here are some photos from last night's Sarajevo premiere of In the Land of Blood and Honey. Angelina Jolie must have exhausted her printed and neutral dress supply, because she's back in black. And I don't hate it. I find this dress to be very elegant and only slightly dated. Should I judge Angelina for wearing a dress that Nancy Reagan probably wore to a State Dinner during the Reagan administration? Or should I just accept that this is who Angelina is – she is the woman who likes shoulder pads, big jewelry and 1980s glamour. Brad looks especially nice here – he's not wearing those friggin' tinted glasses, and that beautiful coat is getting a lot of action in Europe, isn't it? He's worn it in London, Berlin and now Sarajevo. According to this report at the Washington Post (read the full piece here), Angelina greeted the 5,000-strong crowd with a few words in Bosnian, then she gave a little speech in English. After the film, she got a standing ovation, which made her cry, and she said, "To share this with you means the world to me." At a press conference earlier in the day (in Sarajevo), Angelina talked about the need for a "wake up call" for the international community to pay attention to war crimes and atrocities in real time. She made some pointed comments about the situation in Syria too – "I am satisfied with what we made, I feel very strongly about it and I believe that its core issue — which is the need for intervention and need for the world to care about atrocities when they are happening — is very, very timely and especially with things that are happening in Syria today." Wait… so she's saying that we need to get involved in Syria? I mean… I understand the humanitarian argument, sure. But there's so much more at play in Syria than encouraging America to get on a white horse and "save the day." Will the proponents of force say that we'll be greeted as liberators? Again? Angelina has the heart of a neo-conservative, I swear. She also addressed concerns by the Serb community that they are being portrayed as "the bad guys" in the film: "I think it is very important that this film is out at this time and … if this film points the finger at anybody it is the international community. I understand that it's sensitive. But I also know that the Serbian people are intelligent and open-minded people. They will know the difference between what's been forced upon them and what they feel in their own hearts… although it's difficult, I hope that they see intention behind it." In a rare move, Angelina is also arranging "private screenings" for Serbs who are interested in seeing the film – she will even send the film to someone's home, if they are interested. Oh, and we need to talk about this hilarious photo of Angelina and the cast of ITLOBAH. Why does Goran Kostic look like that? He's all "FML." Dude! |
Lindsay Lohan posed for Terry Richardson again and again: still busted? Posted: 15 Feb 2012 04:30 AM PST Here are even more Terry Richardson photos of Lindsay Lohan. I guess these are some outtakes from her Love Magazine photo shoot? In which she looked busted and cheap and she wore an Elizabeth Taylor sweatshirt and hoped that producers would instantly recognize that SHE is the only one who could possibly play Liz? I didn't have the heart to post all of the Love Magazine photos – you can see the rest of them here, but BEWARE! Some of the shots are NSFW, as they contain butt cheek and other cracked-out body parts. I think Linnocent is aiming for "sexy" but she just looks like a really haggard call girl who needs a nap. If that wasn't enough, Uncle Terry and the Cracken have been spending a lot of time partying together lately, and, of course, Uncle Terry has put photos up on his Diary. He snapped pics of Lindsay at the amFAR gala, and at some party for Purple Magazine a few nights ago. This is after his spectacularly busted photo shoot with LL at the Marmont last week. Yikes. And the final problem – Terry Richardson is now doing photo shoots with Ali Lohan. That's so… sad. Depressing. Sketchy. Tragic. Also: what the hell is Ali doing to her face? She's going to her sister's lip injection guy, right? |
