Zac Efron talks about his dropped condom, did he do it to impress Nicole Kidman? Posted: 01 Mar 2012 09:41 AM PST Last week’s episode of “Zac Efron Condomgate” was probably the most entertaining thing surrounding the upcoming release of The Lorax. At the time, Kaiser, CB, and myself all decided to ignore the story because Kaiser had already covered Zac’s bad hair, and talking about the orange carpet again seemed like a waste of space since no one really cares about Zac Efron. So here’s the gist of it if you haven’t already heard: Zac was walking the carpet and pulled something out of his pocket to hand to his publicist, but a condom fell out as well. The guy looked mortified albeit giggly and scooped up the offending item as quickly as possible. However, this wasn’t just any condom — it was a gold wrapped one — this led to the conclusion that Zac was packing the Magnum variety, which is used by guys who are either larger than average or want people to think they’re larger than average. Here’s video evidence of the event: This morning, Zac appeared on “The Today Show” and spoke to Matt Lauer, who decided that a hard-hitting angle would work best on this story. The video clip on that interview is acting up, but it’s available here, and here are some excerpts: [W]hen TODAY’s Matt Lauer confronted Lorax star (and prophylactic owner) Zac Efron about the gaffe, he got a little blush from the 24-year-old actor — and a safe sex message in return. But first he had to get him to say anything: Lauer asked Zefron to “take me through what happened” and the actor chuckled, rubbing his mouth, and said: “I don’t want to take you through it.” Lauer persisted, and Efron admitted he did drop something: “I never really had a pocket-checking policy when I was going on the red carpet before, but now we’ve fully instated one.” So Lauer spelled it out: “You dropped a — a condom on the red carpet.” “That was really hard for you to say!” shot back Efron, laughing. Clearly, educational opportunities abound in this film; as Lauer noted over the condom-dropping incident, it’s better to be safe than sorry about such matters. “That’s a great message,” said Efron. “To add to the many messages in the film.” [From Today] So was it all an accident? While we were talking about this last week, Kaiser pointed out that if Miley Cyrus had dropped a condom, everyone would probably be labelling it as a famewhore move. In this case, we’re all just speculating whether Zac really wears a Magnum. In an interesting (and almost certainly fictional) twist, the National Enquirer has printed a story (via The Superficial) that maintains that Zac did it on purpose, and he cunningly dropped a large-girth condom to impress his Paperboy co-star, Nicole Kidman because he “knew reports of the incident would get back to her” and “wanted to let her know what kind of man he really is.” Because allegedly, Zac has claimed that if Nicole wasn’t taken, “he’d put the moves on her hard.” Priceless. Naturally, Gossip Cop has talked to a few unnamed Efron sources who claim the story is crap, but we don’t need any (non-)verification to tell us the truth on this matter. If Zac called 49-year-old Demi Moore a “creepy cougar“ for hitting on him, I doubt he’s wasting evenings at home daydreaming of 44-year-old Nicole. Besides, Nicole is happily married to Keith Urban, and before that, she was married to Tom Cruise, who may or may not be the owner of Hollywood’s smallest p3nis. So I doubt she’s a size queen. This story is almost worth it for the humor value though. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet

Lady Gaga launches her anti-bullying ‘Born This Way Foundation’ at Harvard Posted: 01 Mar 2012 08:58 AM PST We haven't talked about Lady Gaga in a while, have we? She's been keeping a lower profile. Either that, or people have simply gotten better at ignoring her. I think it's mostly the lower profile thing, though – she hasn't been giving twenty-million interviews lately, and she hasn't done daily photo shoots with the paparazzi. So, enjoy this post, monsters. Lady Gaga was in Cambridge, Massachusetts yesterday for the launch of her Born This Way Foundation, at the Harvard campus. You might ask – why Harvard? Why did Gaga go all the way to Massachusetts to discuss bullying? I have no idea. I do know that she was wearing a Prabal Gurung coat and sunglasses, and an elaborate headpiece. Guess who else was there? Oprah Winfrey. It seems Oprah gave a little speech about Gaga and the foundation too, saying: “Lady Gaga, with her music and her message and her own story, is breaking the form, and she is changing consciousness. She says that she wasn’t put on earth just to sing songs; her passion is to be that force for good. The Born This Way Foundation is in line with so many of my core beliefs.” Here’s what Gaga has to say about it: Lady Gaga’s ambitious new Born This Way Foundation aims for nothing less than to have kids rethink and rework their entire social structures. And she has some specific ideas for how that might work. Asked by Time how an 11-year-old girl might follow Gaga’s advice and become more empowered, the singer-songwriter, 25, replies: “She could go up to one person in class who maybe is not one of the cool kids and say, ‘I really like your T-shirt.’ That would be her one great loving and accepting deed for the day.” That would be a brave step, which is what the whole initiative is about – combating meanness and cruelty and inspiring bravery in young people to work toward a more accepting society. “I’m doing everything that I can, working with experts, really studying the statistics to figure out a way we can make it cool or normal to be kind and loving,” says Gaga, who has said she was bullied in school. Gaga acknowledges it will be long process to shift people’s perceptions, but says one first step is not to demonize bullies. “We do not make a distinction between the bully and the victim,” she says. “Each person is an equally important and valuable member of society. What the foundation is about is a transformative change that is going to take a long time to affect the overall culture. Bullies were born this way, too.” [From People] Er… I think of "bullying" as a learned behavior. As in kids LEARN to bully the kids they view as "different" or "weaker". This behavior is learned from parents, from teachers, from society, from everyone who doesn't course-correct the behavior of bullies. A bully is not born that way, just my opinion. Oh, and you know who needs a lesson on bullying? Gaga's monsters. Gaga still hasn't said anything about the way her "little monsters" attacked and bullied Adele. Just sayin'.

Jennifer Aniston thinks you’re “very narrow-minded” to assume she wants babies Posted: 01 Mar 2012 08:31 AM PST The state of Jennifer Aniston’s womb is a matter of constant discussion. I think people began focusing on it when she married Brad Pitt, because he was always so vocal about wanting kids (to the point of tearing up on Oprah's couch), and because Jennifer's reputation back in those days was as the nice, sweet girl-next-door. Of course the nice, sweet girl-next-door wants to be a mother, especially when she's married to Brad Pitt, right? Well, as we know, babies never happened with Brad and Jennifer. They split in January 2005, and for months, the rumor mill spun the tale of Jennifer denying Brad's dreams of fatherhood, which led to Brad falling for single mother Angelina Jolie. Then came Aniston's now-infamous Vanity Fair interview in the September 2005 issue. I want to put a decent-sized excerpt from the piece, just because I'm still in disbelief that VF printed such a sycophantic piece of Aniston propaganda: [Brad and Jennifer] seemed the most fortunate couple imaginable—two beautiful superstars who had hit the jackpot, earning not only fame and riches but also an enduring love. Their fans had long been captivated by the romance of America’s Sweetheart and the Sexiest Man in the World, and now they were ready to begin a thrilling new chapter. Aniston’s 10-year run on Friends was ending, and she and Pitt had vowed to start a family when her stupendously successful television series was finished…. But the ensuing months brought an onslaught of rumors that he had gotten involved with Angelina Jolie while filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Instead of the joyful announcement many had anticipated from the Pitts, there was only silence. …And then came the oh-so-civilized announcement, on January 7, that Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were separating—that their parting was “the result of much thoughtful consideration,” that it was not caused by “any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media,” and that they would remain “committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another.” If Pitt had kept a low profile in the months to come, that might even have turned out to be true. Instead, the ominous drumroll of gossip began to crescendo as he and Jolie rendezvoused in exotic locales, still denying that they were an item. With the paparazzi snapping away, Pitt stepped into what looked suspiciously like a paternal role with Jolie’s adopted Cambodian son, Maddox. “It was extremely hurtful to Jen that he was seen with another woman so quickly after they were separated,” says Andrea Bendewald, an actress who has been one of Aniston’s closest friends since they were teenagers. Instead of being reviled as The Other Woman, Jolie posed for pictures on an energetic round of appearances as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations—and then trumped even that public-relations bonanza by adopting another orphan, an African girl whose parents had died of AIDS. In the blink of an eye, the twice-divorced Jolie—previously known as a tattooed vixen with a taste for bisexuality, heroin, brotherly incest, mental institutions, and wearing her husbands’ blood—had morphed into a globe-trotting humanitarian who seemed to be channeling Audrey Hepburn. For the 36-year-old Aniston, who had expected to spend the past year being pregnant, the pain of watching this spectacle unfold was compounded by vicious rumors about herself. As misogynist as they were false, sensationalistic stories claimed the real reason the marriage ended was that Aniston refused to have Pitt’s baby because she was so ambitious she cared only about her career. Even now, that sexist slur makes her face darken. “A man divorcing would never be accused of choosing career over children,” she says. “That really pissed me off. I’ve never in my life said I didn’t want to have children. I did and I do and I will! The women that inspire me are the ones who have careers and children; why would I want to limit myself? I’ve always wanted to have children, and I would never give up that experience for a career. I want to have it all.” Aniston’s intimates note acidly that Pitt could have done more to refute the mean-spirited rumor that his wife wouldn’t bear his child, which reinforced the impression that he had good cause to leave her for Earth Mother Jolie. To some, this looks like sheer hypocrisy. “When Brad and Jen were in the marriage, having a baby was not his priority—ever,” says one mutual friend. “It was an abstract desire for him, whereas for Jen it was much more immediate. So is there a part of Brad that’s diabolical? Did he think, I need to get out of this marriage, but I want to come out smelling like a rose, so I’m going to let Jen be cast as the ultra-feminist and I’m going to get cast as the poor husband who couldn’t get a baby and so had to move on?” [From Vanity Fair, September 2005] Hit piece. Pity party. And as it turns out, Aniston had shackled herself to that version of story for years and years to come. In the years that followed, Aniston has pulled out the "I want babies, for real" card whenever she promoted a movie, gleefully joking about "the rumors" while selling her wholesome, baby-desiring brand repeatedly in magazines. One year ago – for her 42nd birthday – Aniston scored the cover of People Magazine – a cover story that her publicist surely green-lit the entire way, a cover story which included “babies!” in the headline. In that piece, Aniston told the magazine, “I think people honestly just want to see me as a mom and married and barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. And I just want to say, 'Everybody, relax! It's going to happen.'" So imagine my eye roll when I saw that Aniston is once again talking about her womb in the public sphere. She did an interview with Gayle King of CBS a few days ago to promote Wanderlust, and of course, Aniston and Gayle had to joke around about Aniston's latest tabloid pregnancy. Aniston takes her denial one step further, though. She says we're all "very narrow-minded" to "assume" that she can't be happy without a baby. She tells Gayle, "That doesn’t measure the level of my happiness or my success in my life, in my achievements, in any of that.” Yes, after playing the baby card for years, Aniston is truly upset that we would take her at her word, that we would believe her public statements. Is it okay if I say that I find it "very narrow-minded" that she thinks her fans will abandon her if she admits she never really gave a crap about having kids? Will a pity party commence if I say that I find it "very narrow-minded" that she only talks about wanting to have kids when she's selling us a movie? Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet.

Kristen Stewart promotes Balenciaga in Paris: lovely and cool, or just grim? Posted: 01 Mar 2012 08:30 AM PST Jesus, I love those leather pants. I want those. But I couldn't pull them off. I'm too old and I'm not skinny and leggy enough for them. These are new photos of Kristen Stewart once again in Paris – hopefully she won't flip the bird on this trip. Since Kristen is the new face of Balenciaga, one of her duties is to show up at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week. I'm assuming she's wearing head-to-toe Balenciaga. Dislike the blouse, the jacket is… odd. But the pants!!! I'm still not sold on the idea of Kristen fronting a major fashion campaign, but I'm glad to see her fulfilling her duties without her usual eye-rolls and lip-bites. Hopefully, she's growing in confidence, or she's just learning how to carry herself with more professionalism. Also: Sparkles didn't join Kristen for this trip to Paris. She's flying solo in Paris! Epic. Kristen was most recently in LA over Oscar weekend – she and Robert Pattinson both put in some appearances at various industry parties. By all accounts, they were completely and utterly loved up and affectionate all over the place. Some people (Twihards) were surprised that neither Sparkles nor Kristen presented at the Oscars – although those people (Twihards) also think that Kristen and Rob specifically avoided the Oscars because Breaking Dawn didn't get nominated for anything. For real. Like, some people thought it would get nominated for an OSCAR. Honestly, though – I would have loved to have seen one or both of them at the Oscars. There should have been more younger acctors invited to present this year. Everything felt so dated, so early 2000s. One last thing – the new poster for On the Road. Is this movie going to suck? I'm kind of worried that the book is simply un-adaptable. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Lindsay Lohan’s full Today interview: she still thinks she’s going to win an Oscar Posted: 01 Mar 2012 08:30 AM PST The Today show has finally released the full Lindsay Lohan interview. On Tuesday, Lohan sat down with Matt Lauer for her first "long" interview in years. The way Today has been billing this thing, I thought it was going to be at least 10 minutes of crack lies, but it's barely five minutes of crack-denials and distracting crack wigs (UPDATE: Ah, it's a two-part interview). We had a partial transcript of the interview yesterday (here) and a preview clip of the interview as well (here). You can watch this mess below, and I'll be adding some of my thoughts – in real time – after the video: Here's Part 1 of the interview: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy 0:25 – AHHHH!!! Good God, her face. 0:40 – Ah, a crack joke. She jokes about how "quiet" she's been. 1:06 Lauer: How are you wiser? Classic narcissist answer, “I’ve learned how to live my life in a way that I’m happy, and I can do the things that I want to do.” 1:10: "I've grown." Yeah, with your bolt-ons and your jacked lips. 2:00 – Being in "denial" when she was 19 years old – "I think it was — it’s a scary thing to have to kind of express to people … I wasn’t as comfortable with myself then. I think it was a fear factor that I had about what was really going on. And, you know, I had to get that wakeup call.” WHAT WAKEUP CALL?!!?! 2: 40 – She starts talking about being "lonely". Like she only partied and became a crackie because she was lonely. More like she wanted an audience, constantly. "Some of the main things are the people you surround yourselves with…. I just allowed a lot of people to be around me at all times, and I don’t think they were necessarily there for the right reasons, and I wasn’t concerned with all that." 3:00-ish – She trusts Mother Crackie. "I trust my family, my mom, my sister and my brothers. I have a really great group of people that I work with now." Part 2 of the interview: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy This part has more cracked-out cackling. I can’t even break down this part of it. I think my favorite part is when Lauer is like, “People think you’re next crack shenanigan is coming soon.” And she’s like, “It’s unfortunate!” But the look on her face is all, “Those people are so right. MOVE THAT CONE!!!” Oh, and around 4:30 she once again claims that by the age of 30, she’d like to have won an Oscar. For real. Lauer is really kiss-ass in this interview – I mean, he’s trying to challenge her on her cracked-out BS, but it’s all about the follow-up questions. When she crack-cackles about her “sobriety” or when she can’t state how long she’s been sober, that’s the time for a hard-hitting follow-up. I’d also like the point out the stupidity of Lohan’s publicity campaign for the Liz Taylor part – she did this when she was connected to the Linda Lovelace project too. She went out and did all of this press before filming (and financing) even happened. She doesn’t want to “work”. She wants to talk about “working.” She wants the shortcut, always. Screencaps from Today.

Brad Pitt never visits his grandmother, who lives in a sub-standard nursing home Posted: 01 Mar 2012 07:53 AM PST This story doesn't really make sense to me, but let's play along. The British tabs – The Mail and The Sun – are reporting that Brad Pitt is a really awful grandson. His grandmother, Betty Russell, is living in a "sub-standard nursing home" in Oklahoma, and Brad hasn't been to visit her since 2008. Grandma Betty really wishes Brad would come visit her, but she kind of understands why he hasn't – because of The Villainess Jolie!!! No, not really. I'm honestly surprised that this report doesn't explicitly blame Angelina: Brad Pitt’s family have sent a public plea for the actor to visit his grandmother ahead of her 90th birthday. The Moneyball star, 48, has not seen Betty Russell, who resides in a sub-standard nursing home in Oklahoma, for over four years, according to his great-aunt. Speaking to The Sun, Mary Ann Lanier said: ‘Betty misses him. He doesn’t write, he doesn’t seem to stay in contact with her.’ The last time Brad visited was in 2008, when he and Angelina Jolie, at the time pregnant with twins Knox and Vivienne, attended a family gathering with their children Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh. ‘The last time he came to Shawnee, Angelina was very pregnant. She was just great, just like a member of the family,’ Mary Ann told the paper. ‘There was no put-on airs or anything like that. She is a beautiful person. I’m pleased she is with Brad and pleased she’s so concerned with children, that both of them are.' Mrs Lanier revealed that her superstar nephew used to send his grandmother flowers every month and frequently called her to check in. Mrs Russell’s nursing home room is covered in pictures of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, with the Jolie-Pitts featuring heavily, she says. The Rose Manor Nursing Center in Shawnee, Oklahoma, where Mrs Russell resides, rated far below average on a state inspection in December, the Sun reports. Brad is close to his parents Jane and William, who accompanied him and Angelina to the Oscars over the weekend. The Pitts are regularly pictured visiting the couple on film sets and helping to care for their brood. [From The Mail] Er…?? Brad should make time to visit his granny, sure. But they make it sound like Brad shoved his grandmother into a sub-standard nursing home and he's the ONLY one in his family who can do anything about it. What about Brad's parents? What about Brad's siblings? Doesn't he have a large, extended family that all reside in Oklahoma and Missouri? But yes, he should visit his grandma. Poor Betty. And he should help find Betty a new nursing home too. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet and WENN.

Halle Berry hires a new lawyer so she can go after Gabriel for custody, move to France Posted: 01 Mar 2012 07:42 AM PST Is the sh-t about to hit the fan? According to TMZ Halle Berry has hired a real “bulldozer” lawyer who previously represented Mel Gibson and is known for getting his way in court. Rich people can easily switch lawyers when they’re not getting results fast enough, but TMZ says this means that Halle is about to dial it up in her custody battle with Gabriel Aubry. I’m also thinking that Halle’s last lawyer tried to get her to bring it down a notch and be more realistic and she told him to stuff it. Halle wants to move to France with her new boyfriend/maybe fiance, Oliver Martinez, and she’s going to make that happen at any cost, particularly to her daughter. I’m just waiting to see what kind of petulant response Gabriel gives Radar Online about this one. I’m not on Halle’s side by any means, I just think Gabriel has quickly stooped to her level. He still deserves a relationship with his daughter, though. Here’s TMZ’s report on this: Halle Berry has dumped another man … but this one has been with her way longer than all the others — her longtime lawyer/confidante, Neal Hersh … TMZ has learned. Here’s the lowdown. Our sources tell us Halle wants to go after her baby daddy Gabriel Aubry with nuclear weapons — metaphorically speaking — and she thinks Hersh is too much of a gentleman to wage that kind of legal war, even though he has guided Halle through 2 divorces, a custody war and various other legal skirmishes. So we’ve learned Halle has hired Stephen Kolodny (above), who is legendary in L.A. legal circles for the level of legal warfare she so wants. You may recall Kolodny repped Mel Gibson in his epic battle with Oksana Grigorieva — and that got kinda nasty. Kolodny has already gone to court with Halle. We’ve learned last Thursday the new duo went to dependency court to have more restrictions placed on Aubry. The dependency judge has already ordered that Gabriel can only have contact with Nahla in the presence of a monitor. On Thursday, we’re told the judge voiced additional concerns and ordered Gabriel to return the child to Halle earlier than the 6 PM deadline on days he has custody. Kolodny will have his hands full trying to convince the family law judge that Halle should be able to move to France with the child because she’s concerned about paparazzi and safety. [From TMZ] Will Halle get her way? Will this go down as she’s expecting and will she get to both smear her daughter’s father in the press and limit his contact with her? Even if the custody case resolves exactly as she’s hoping, I doubt it will be a happily ever after for Halle. It rarely is. The novelty of France will wear off and so will the novelty of her latest relationship. Maybe I’m wrong, though, maybe she’s matured as a person. Although if that were the case she would be staying put in LA and working on establishing a friendly co-parenting relationship with her ex. Can it be that hard to get along for the sake of their daughter? Halle is shown on 2/22 and 2/24 outside Nahla’s school. She’s shown with Oliver and Nahla on 2/26 and with Oliver alone on 2/28/12.

Michelle Williams spotted out and about in LA twice with Matilda, post-Oscars Posted: 01 Mar 2012 06:37 AM PST I have to give Michelle Williams some belated credit. Even though her Oscar campaign annoyed me to no end, she wasn't using actively using her daughter as part of her campaign. Like, Michelle played up her "mommy" credentials, of course, all while being ensconced in her second virginity, and all while actively playing The Widow Ledger. But in retrospect, isn't it nice that there weren't dozens of "candid" photo shoots of Michelle and Matilda? I like that Michelle actively (and truly) seems to want to keep Matilda away from Hollywood and from the paparazzi lenses. If it had been Jennifer Garner up for an Oscar, there would have been twice-daily photo ops, every single day of her campaign. So what do you make of these photos? Michelle and Matilda have been photographed out and about in LA twice this week, post-Oscars. I'm going to give Michelle the rare benefit of the doubt and say that Michelle is simply not used to being in LA with Matilda, and she wasn't expecting the paparazzi to catch her out with Mattie. Is that fair to her? Or is this part of a new kind of mommy-centric campaign? Mattie is a cutie, isn't she? As she gets older, I see more of Michelle in her and less of Heath. And I like that Mattie isn't used to seeing photographers too – she seems uncomfortable seeing strange men around her. As most normal kids would be. One last thing – have you read this blind item? A lot of people think it's about Michelle. I think it could be about Rooney Mara or Viola Davis, but Michelle probably is the better guess. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet and WENN.

Beyonce was breastfeeding Blue Ivy in public, an unnamed observer claims Posted: 01 Mar 2012 06:10 AM PST Over the weekend, we noted Beyonce and Jay-Z's first big public outing with baby Blue Ivy. You couldn't even see the baby in any of the photos – Beyonce had Blue swaddled up in what seemed like five blankets, and it also seemed like there might not even be a baby underneath all of the stuff. Well, we had a fun time debating what was really going on in the photos – perhaps a family going out for breakfast, or perhaps another in a long line of hard-sells to "prove" what an awesome and natural and nurturing mom Beyonce is. My favorite comment was that Beyonce seemed to be carrying her swaddled up weave. So Beyonce and Jay have done another photo op with a swaddled Blue Ivy, but this time we don't have the pics – you can see one here. In addition to that, Us Weekly had this completely normal and not-at-all-suspiciously-planted story about Beyonce breast-feeding in public: Count Beyonce Knowles among the millions of mothers worldwide who are proud to breastfeed their children out in the open. Escorted by husband Jay-Z, the “Girls (Run the World)” singer, 30, took along daughter Blue Ivy, seven weeks, for a casual lunch at Sant Ambroeus in NYC’s West Village last Saturday. And Beyonce nursed her little girl at her the table, an observer tells Us Weekly. Two additional sources confirm to Us that the first-time mom has been breastfeeding her daughter. Beyonce was snapped leaving the eatery holding her newborn in a blue BabyBjorn — covered fashionably with a black Donni Charm scarf. Mother and child emerged the very next day; this time, Beyonce held Blue in an exotic leopard-print wrap by Baby Bjorn. Although the superstar is happily taking some time off to be a mom with Blue at their massive Tribeca loft and Scarsdale, New York mansion she shares with Jay-Z, 43, she’s gearing up for two musical projects in 2012 — and a potential film, One Hit Wonders. The brainchild of Glee creator Ryan Murphy, the musical comedy may star her pal Gwyneth Paltrow plus Cameron Diaz and Reese Witherspoon as faded 90s singers who team up in an effort to reclaim their fame. Beyonce’s potential role in the flick is not yet known. [From Us Weekly] Do we really need "sources" to tell us that Beyonce is breast-feeding? Do we really need eyewitness accounts? CB, Bedhead and I were debating the story last night, and we ended up coming down on the side of "No comment." As in, we don't even want to get into the debate about this breast-feeding story. If it's really going down like these sources claim, good work and God bless. Breastfeeding is great, and women should have the right to breastfeed in public. Cough. In other Beyonce news, there are some reports that Bey is going to join Jay-Z on the European leg of his Watch the Throne tour over the summer. There's some question as to whether little Blue will be joining them, though. I mean… of course Blue will be coming, right? Beyonce knows that all of these "she's such an awesome and natural mother!" reports will look dumb if she goes on tour with Jay and leaves the baby in NYC, right?

George Clooney: “Who does it hurt if someone thinks I’m gay? I don’t give a sh-t” Posted: 01 Mar 2012 04:22 AM PST George Clooney has a nice interview in the new issue of The Advocate. I'm guessing that he did this before the Oscars, which means that George was probably in the mind-set of "This will be published after I win my second Oscar, so I need to sound like I've just been crowned The King of Hollywood." That's not fair, though. He's only slightly preachy in this piece. The reason behind the interview is interesting – he's participating in a one-night-only reading of Dustin Lance Black's play 8, which is "adapted from transcripts of California's historic Proposition 8 trial." Clooney is all about gay rights! And he doesn't care if you think he's gay, either. Well… he probably does care. But he doesn't want you to know he cares. You can read the whole piece here, and here are some highlights: On why he’s fighting for marriage equality: It's always been this albatross that stood out to me as the final leg of the civil rights movement. It really came to a head during the 2004 elections, when it was used as a wedge issue, and it was a very effective tool to keep the Republicans in office and to avoid talking about other issues. Well before Prop. 8, I've made the point that every time we've stood against equality, we've been on the wrong side of history. It's the same kind of argument they made when they didn't want blacks to serve in the military, or when they didn't want blacks to marry whites. One day the marriage equality fight will look as archaic as George Wallace standing on the University of Alabama steps keeping James Hood from attending college because he was black. People will be embarrassed to have been on the wrong side. So it's encouraging to know that this too will seem like such a silly argument to our next generation. There are even a lot of young conservatives today for whom marriage equality isn't an issue. It always takes government an extra generation to catch up to the people. On his bromance with Brad Pitt: I do think we've set the bar very high. People think Brad and I hang out all the time, but the truth is that we see each other very rarely, maybe a couple times a year. I've had great fun spending time with my friend again over the awards season. Not only do I enjoy him as a person and respect his talent, but I also love what he does in the world. I can't speak highly enough about how hard he works at making the world better. I'm very proud to call him my friend. On actors coming out: It's obviously not the same as if it were the '50s and '60s with Rock Hudson. Look at Neil Patrick Harris. He's a big star on a hit show, and no one's telling him he can't play a straight womanizer. I use Neil as an example because I've spent time with him and I like him a lot. People like Neil and Ellen DeGeneres have opened the door to making it easier for everyone, and now each person just has to figure out his or her own path. Maybe it's as simple as a gay actor going to work and getting the job done. On gay rumors about him: I think it's funny, but the last thing you'll ever see me do is jump up and down, saying, "These are lies!" That would be unfair and unkind to my good friends in the gay community. I'm not going to let anyone make it seem like being gay is a bad thing. My private life is private, and I'm very happy in it. Who does it hurt if someone thinks I'm gay? I'll be long dead and there will still be people who say I was gay. I don't give a sh-t. On making a gay biopic, such as The Paul Lynde Story: Yeah, I'd play the center square. The title of the movie would be I'll Take Paul Lynde to Block. Listen, there are a bunch of interesting stories out there, but I just haven't found a screenplay with a gay subject that felt right for me as something that I could direct or act in. I'm certainly not avoiding it. Whether it's about being gay or it just happens to have a gay character, if it's a great screenplay, let's go do it. George thinks Ryan Gosling is hot: Not that I don't think Bradley Cooper is a perfectly sexy guy, but I'm still shocked that Ryan Gosling didn't get Sexiest Man Alive last year. I thought he worked hard and ran a very solid campaign, so I feel that he was ripped off. On Michael Fassbender’s nude scene in Shame: Well, c'mon. Every guy who saw that movie was like, "Jesus Christ," at the exact same time. [From The Advocate] I love that Clooney keeps talking about Michael Fassbender and, you know, the Fassdong. Clooney should be Fassy's publicist – he's doing more to get Michael noticed than anyone else (except for me, I guess). As for the possibility that Clooney is gay – I've gone back and forth on it in the past. At this point, I think Clooney is mostly straight. If you told me he liked dudes who looked like ladies, I wouldn't be surprised. If you told me he'll date a woman even if she wasn't born a woman, I would agree. But I do think he's mostly straight – if he was gay, he would certainly have better taste in beards, wouldn't he? He has sex with women. Woman with Adam's apples. Women who are very strong, women who don't mind dominating in some friendly games amongst consenting adults. Photos courtesy of WENN, Fame.
