Prince Harry finishes his Jubilee tour in Brazil, with an adorable photo-op with kids Posted: 11 Mar 2012 08:36 AM PDT There are few things I enjoy more than seeing Prince Harry interact with children. He's a natural, just like his mother. I wish more of you enjoyed Harry stories, because then I would have an excuse to write about him more often, and I would get more use of these photos of Harry in Brazil, on the last leg of his grandmother's Jubilee Tour activities. I have to say – whoever did the organization and planning of Harry's tour of the Caribbean and Brazil deserves a medal, because they made sure to include so much stuff that Harry loves to do, from dancing, to hugging ladies, to "trying" the local rum, to meeting and playing with lots of local children. These photos are from Harry's stop in Rio De Janeiro. Harry did a photo op at a "Premiership Rugby training session on Flamengo beach." Only it wasn't just a quick pop-by with some kids. Harry stuck around and played rugby and volleyball with the kids, and he looked like he was having the time of his life. Photos like these just remind me – Harry is an enormous kid. He has retained his child-like glee and silliness. He's happiest when he gets to play. It's adorable. Harry also ran a mile with some of the kids and adults. For part of the run, he wore a mask of his brother's face. I don't know why. A few days ago, The Mail reported that William was acting as Harry's "secret advisor" during this Diamond Jubilee tour – but it struck me that William and Kate's publicity team was merely boot-strapping onto Harry's success. And trust me, Harry's trip has been a WILD success. Jamaica loves him. Brazilians were thoroughly "charmed." Belize loved him, and the Bahamas agreed with him. Just let Harry have his moment! The Party Prince did a really good job, and he should be applauded. |
Brad Pitt & Ellen DeGeneres “Make It Right” in New Orleans at a gala fundraiser Posted: 11 Mar 2012 08:05 AM PDT There are twenty million new photos of Brad Pitt in New Orleans from the past three days. These are just a few of them – on Friday, Brad stopped by some of the houses that his organization, Make It Right NOLA, has funded and built. Ellen DeGeneres came by too – I don't know if she was filming a segment for her show, or if Brad was just giving her a personal tour or what. But they went around to several homes together and met some of the families living on Make It Right properties. You can read more about Ellen and Brad's tour of the lower ninth ward here. Then, last night, Ellen hosted "A Night to Make It Right" gala to raise more money for the non-profit to build nearly 150 homes in New Orleans. The photos of Angelina and Brad in the car – those are of Brangelina leaving the gala event, which was held at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans. The gala featured performances by Rihanna, Sheryl Crow, Snopp Dogg and Dr. John, and celebrities like Sean Penn, Kevin Spacey, Spike Lee and… Blake Lively (?) also made appearances too. Guests paid between $1000 and $2500 per ticket, and the event was sold out. Huzzah! |
Kim Kardashian will have to pay $7 million to make Kris Humphries go away Posted: 11 Mar 2012 07:06 AM PDT Over the past month or so, Life & Style has been running lots of stories about Kris Humphries legal strategy in his ongoing divorce proceedings with Kim Kardashian. I tend to think that Kris (or his lawyer) is leaking information and strategies to Life & Style, because some of these pieces are very suspicious. One of the last stories I talked about was something about Kris wanting to "legally destroy" Kim in court when she was compelled to give testimony about the state of their 72-day marriage. Basically, it seems like Kris wants to say that their marriage was a fraud from the beginning, and as such, the prenup should be null and void. Which leaves Kim open for being forced to give Kris a larger divorce settlement, I guess. I don't really understand all of the machinations, honestly, but I'm really not paring that much attention. Anyway, TMZ had a new report this weekend which claimed that Kris's price for simply walking out of Kim's life is now $7 million.
[From TMZ] Is it just me, or does $7 million sound like a cheap payoff for the Kardashians? No one really knows how much Kim (and Kris Jenner) made off of the wedding, but it was probably eight figures. Add to that all of the other Kardashian-branded krap that Kim makes buckets of money off of… $7 million sounds like not even a third of Kim's 2011 income. Just cut the bastard a check and be done with it. Here are some photos of Kim in West Hollywood yesterday: |
Jennifer Aniston issues ultimatum to Justin Theroux: propose by the end of 2012! Posted: 11 Mar 2012 06:44 AM PDT After complaining about her brief move to New York City, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux came back to the fishbowl last week. Only they didn't stay at one of Aniston's condos or apartments – they stayed at the Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca. These are photos of JustJen leaving the hotel – according to The Mail, their visit lasted less than a week, and it involved lots of shopping. Of course! Now it's probably back to LA for them, I'm guessing. Because the New York bait-and-switch is over, and Aniston no longer has to pretend to be a hip New Yorker. Still, it's nice for her to visit New York, which is where Justin feels more comfortable (or so he's claimed). Incidentally, the British tabloids are reporting that Jennifer has issued Justin an ultimatum. She wants to get married by the end of the year!! Of course, that's what they said last year too.
[From The Mail] Eh, even though this report is either A) entirely made up or B) an innocuous plant by Huvane, I've said it before – I wouldn't be surprised if Justin and Jennifer get married. This is the most comfortable she's been in a relationship in a long, long time. And Justin has proven that he's willing to be made over by his girl, which bodes well for his future with Aniston. He's Shane Warne to her Liz Hurley. They can get mani-pedis together and go shopping and play with the dog and it's all fine. |
Jon Hamm on Kim Kardashian: “Being a f–king idiot is a valuable commodity” Posted: 11 Mar 2012 06:22 AM PDT You know there are few people I love more in Hollywood than Jon Hamm. He is perfection! Talented, handsome, generous, kind, intelligent, and he's something of a noted feminist (in my mind, at least). But The Hamm has another quality: he loathes stupidity. Much like Daniel Craig a few months ago, The Hamm is taking on the "celebration of stupidity" that he sees in reality stars like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. Like, The Hamm actually name-dropped those two specifically in a new interview with Elle UK. He told the publication, "Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f**king idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you’re rewarded significantly. Incuriousness has become cool… It's celebrated. It doesn't make sense to me." Daniel Craig used that exact phrasing too – "f–king idiots" – to describe the Kardashians. Here's more from the interview:
[From The Mail] As I said, Daniel Craig made a similar point, although I like The Hamm's argument a lot better. Daniel's argument centered around stupidity-for-profit, the audacity of selling everything about your stupid life to make an insane amount of money. The Hamm seems more offended by the celebration and promotion of stupidity and "incuriousness". Incuriousness is one of the major flaws of American society – we elect too many politicians who wear their lack of curiosity as a badge of honor, and ignorance (whether feigned or real) has because its own circus event. God, I love The Hamm. |
Is Ryan Gosling dating a German model while “on a break” from Eva Mendes? Posted: 11 Mar 2012 05:33 AM PDT You guys know I love the British tabloid/rag/newspaper The Daily Mail, right? The writers are full of snark, judgment, kvetching and criticism. It's like coming home. I don't fool myself – I know they are very often mean-spirited, and I know they are often flat-out wrong. Still, I get a lot of leads from The Mail, and (just my opinion) The Mail has been right enough times that I'm always interested to hear their take. But I really don't know what to make of this report about Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling. The short version is that sources tell The Mail that Gosling and Mendes are on a break, and on that "break," Gosling was seen out with a German model in Cape Town, South Africa. The problem? The last I heard, Gosling was in Thailand, and Eva Mendes had basically spent all of February and the first weeks of March with Ryan there. LaineyGossip had photos of Ryan and Eva in Thailand just a few days ago too. So is this just bullpuckey?
[From The Mail] Maybe it was a Gosling-look-alike in Cape Town? Does anyone know if Ryan is still in Thailand? Did his film wrap and he flew to South Africa for an Eva-less vacation? And why did Eva's rep bother to confirm the status of Eva's relationship with Ryan? This is all very interesting. I guess I'm kind of hoping that some part of The Mail's report is true because I'm still not getting Ryan and Eva as a couple. They just… make no sense to me. That being said, I think The Mail might be full of it in this instance. |
