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.

Kris Humphries is secretly demanding $7 MILLION from Kim Kardashian to walk away from their marriage … TMZ has learned.

Sources directly connected to Kris tell TMZ … the bballer — through his Minnesota lawyer — has given Kim an ultimatum … either pay up, or endure an ugly, public trial.

Our sources say Kris and his lawyer have been told to pound sand, and with good reason.

For starters, even if there wasn’t a prenup, the marriage lasted a grand total of 72 days, so the community property wouldn’t be in the universe of $7 mil.

Second, there was an iron-clad prenup, which provided that Kim owes Kris zilch.

Third, Kris actually MADE MONEY from the marriage. Sources tell us … Kris raked in around $1 mil from the wedding and the TV special that showcased the nuptials. And Kris made off like a bandit because Kim ended up using a portion of what she got to pay for the ring.

In addition, we’re told Kris made somewhere between $250,000 and $300,000 from the Kardashian reality show.

Looks like the Bank of Kardashian is officially closed.

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.

Jennifer Aniston has vowed to be married by the end of the year. The 43-year-old actress – who has been dating Justin Theroux, 40 , since they met on the set of Wanderlust two years ago – has told friends the actor is ‘the one’ and has even joked that she has issued him with an ultimatum to have asked her to marry him by the time the year draws to a close.

Meanwhile, the star explained the couple’s new dog Sophie, a boxer-pitbull cross, is a ‘test run’ for having children.

Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper quotes Jennifer as telling a friend: ‘I’ll be married by the end of the year. We’re constantly laughing. Now we’ve got our new baby things are getting serious. We have new responsibilities. She’s like a test run for kids, I guess … although hopefully kids are easier to house-train.’

The actress is said to have added: ‘Justin and I argue over who takes the dog out and who disciplines her, but that’s about it. Things are fabulous. I’m happy. If he’s not got down on one knee, or we’re mot married, by the end of the year, it’s over!’

Jennifer – who divorced Brad Pitt in 2005 and then went on to have doomed relationships with Vince Vaughn and John Mayer – has also told pals she has ‘never been so happy.’

A friend added: ‘Jennifer has never been so happy romantically. She and Justin have discussed their long-term future and both agreed that they love the idea of settling down. The onus is now on Justin to pop the question.’

The former Friends star is beginning to open up about her relationship, despite remaining resolutely tight-lipped at the beginning of their union. She even felt relaxed enough to even joke about how romantic boyfriend Justin Theroux in an interview to promote Wanderlust.

‘He’s just the most cold, icy, fishy kind of a guy,’ she laughed on Good Morning America. ‘I’m trying to warm him up but you know…’

The actress then agreed with interviewer Lara Spencer when she proclaimed that Theroux was ‘really cute and great in this movie.’

‘He is really cute,’ she said. ‘He is great – he's a great actor.’

[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:

Mad Men’s Jon Hamm has hit out at the cult of celebrity that has made ‘idiots’ like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian into millionaires.

‘Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated,’ he told April’s Elle UK magazine. ‘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.’

The Golden Globe winning actor says the success of reality TV stars ‘doesn’t make any sense’ to him. He added that he also didn’t understand why blonde, skinny women have become the epitome of beauty by modern society, saying curvy women like his Mad Men co-star Christina Hendricks are more beautiful.

On his own looks, he confesses he doesn’t know why he has so many female admirers.

‘I don’t even consider myself handsome,’ he said. ‘When I look in the mirror I see my goofy-assed self from when I was a kid.’

The 40-year-old also said he won’t get sucked into the Hollywood cult of eternal youth as spending hours having his hair done is ‘not my game’.

His comments come as the new series of successful TV show Mad Men, in which he plays womanising advertising exec Don Draper, is due to air. The fifth series follows on from his character’s shock proposal to his secretary Megan at the end of series four. But Hamm told the magazine he has no intentions of tying the knot in real life.

He has been with girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt for 15 years and says they don’t need to get married to prove their commitment to one another.

‘Having a piece of paper serves to remind you of your commitment, but we do a pretty good job of reminding each other,’ he said.

[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?

The six-month romance between Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes has hit a rocky patch. Last week, the handsome Drive star was spotted having dinner in Cape Town with a German model.

Ryan, 31, has been staying at the One And Only Hotel in the South African city after telling friends he needed some time 'to think'.

He had flown there without 38-year-old Eva and was seen dining with a blonde at the Grand Cafe, a fashionable beachside haunt.

'Ryan and Eva are having trouble seeing eye to eye,' says a mole. 'He was having dinner with a blonde model who said she was from Berlin. He tried to disguise himself with a woolly hat and scarf and seemed eager not to be noticed as they sat at a beach table, but he was clearly entranced by her.'

Ryan and Eva met on the thriller The Place Beyond The Pines, which is due out later this year, and producers fear they may announce a break-up before the promotional tour.

Last night a spokesman for Eva insisted the pair were still together.

[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.
