Angelina Jolie on The Leg: “I do what I feel like doing, but don’t consider the effect” Posted: 27 Mar 2012 09:28 AM PDT Angelina Jolie has a massive interview with Entertainment Weekly this week, likely to promote the DVD release of In the Land of Blood and Honey. You can read the full EW piece here – I'll just be doing some highlights, since the interview is so long (and a lot of it is about ITLOBAH). Some of you theorized that HuffPo got an advanced copy of the interview, and switched around some of Jolie's quotes for their story about her reaction to The Leg controversy. It could be – Angelina uses some of the same wording, but my reaction to her statement in the context of the EW piece was less eyeroll-y. Basically, she doesn't sound ridiculously full of herself here.
[From EW] OK, that interview actually got me excited about Maleficent! I like that Angelina is embracing the horns – I've always wanted Angelina to play a larger-than-life "cartoon" type of anti-heroine, like a Bond villain or something, and my guess is that she'll excel at playing Maleficent. Can you believe that she hasn't been in front of a camera (for a film) since The Tourist? Jolie needs to get to work! As for the further discussion about The Leg – in this interview, she seems much less defensive, embracing an attitude of "whatever, I had fun, meh." Also: she knows about Tebowing?!? |
Man who sold coffin photo of Whitney Houston admits wiping hotel suite clean Posted: 27 Mar 2012 08:57 AM PDT
Well now van Exel (if that’s even his name) told a Dutch paper that he cleaned Whitney’s hotel suite right after she was found dead. This may be why no traces of cocaine were found at the scene, despite the fact that cocaine was found in her system after she died and is considered a contributing factor in her death. Celebuzz has this story:
[From Celebuzz] Ok, so maybe some creepy hanger on just cashed in after Whitney died and covered up evidence of her overdose, it doesn’t have to mean that there’s some conspiracy over her death. This is still giving me butterflies in my stomach, particularly after watching this video of van Exel (below) that Roger Friedman clued me in on. If you don’t want to watch the whole thing, just fast forward to 1:43, where van Exel uses crutches to fake an injury and gain access to the Billboard Music Awards. He calls the security guard a “fool” for giving them a ride on a golf cart and letting them bypass security because he had crutches. He then pretends to be a representative for Joe Jackson despite not knowing him at all. At the beginning of the video, he explains that celebrities are just like regular people and that they’ll get more comfortable with you the more they see you hanging around. This is seriously creeping me out. He says at 3:40 “go for the kill and never take no for an answer.” Note that the website mentioned on the video, “Diary of a Hollywood Street King,” is NOT van Exel’s blog. It’s an urban blog that copied the video and uploaded it again. They also claim to have details of how van Exel obtained cocaine for many celebrities, extorted money from them and was an enabler for Whitney’s drug habit. So maybe he was her dealer and he cleaned up the cocaine because he’s the one who got it for her. Now I know why her family isn’t convinced that her death was an accident. Holy sh*t. This is starting to remind me of Anna Nicole Smith’s death. Whitney had enablers around her, and this one in particular seems to have had nefarious intentions. Photo via Celebrity Dirty Laundry. |
Jon Hamm’s C Mag photo shoot will jump-start your breakfast-sex fantasies Posted: 27 Mar 2012 08:33 AM PDT Aren't we some lucky bitches today? Two Jon Hamm posts! Huzzah! These are photos from Hamm's cover shoot with C Magazine. The photos are gorgeous, and now I'm in the midst of a fantasy where the Hamm and I have a torrid night of passion and he makes me breakfast the morning after. "No, I don't drink coffee," I tell him, "Maybe we should just go back to bed." The Hamm looks at me, taking in my rumpled appearance in one of his button-down shirts. "No, first you need to eat something. You're too thin! Then once you've regained your strength, then we'll go back to bed." Sigh… IF ONLY. Here are some highlights from the C Mag piece:
[From The Mail] Yeah, that's not terribly interesting. You know what is interesting though? The second part of my Hamm fan-fiction, which involves Hamm feeding me bacon and then boning me in the kitchen. And what's great is that even Jon's friends have fantasies about him too. Hamm recently spoke about one friend asking him to be her baby-daddy. Hamm said, "I have actually been asked to be a father by a friend who wanted to have a kid. It was kind of weird and out-of-nowhere and I said no. Mainly because I was totally unemployed, and I would feel so responsible, even though they said, 'Don't worry, no strings attached.'" Yeah… no strings attached. Because she wanted to have sex with The Hamm. C Magazine photos courtesy of The Mail. |
Timothy Olyphant is tempted to Google himself to prove coolness to his kids Posted: 27 Mar 2012 08:29 AM PDT It’s always a very special day for me when we get new photos of Timothy Olyphant. Of course, these particular pictures don’t have the greatest lighting, for they were taken close to dusk amongst the shadows of midtown Manhattan yesterday while Timothy was outside the Ed Sullivan theater for an appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” Still, we have Olyphant, and there are very few things I enjoy more on this planet than just watching this man walk: There’s an interview too, of course! So we get to watch and hear Olyphant speak in his typical animated fashion, which is very different than the “strong words, soft voice” method he uses to portray the Raylan Givens character on FX’s “Justified.” Oly usually talks a lot during interviews about his family and has a very deadpan sense of humor that doesn’t always translate as intended, such as that time he joked about dumping his wife if he’d won the Emmy. In his defense, that really was her idea, and their marriage has endured for over two decades, so I find it difficult to believe that he should be judged poorly for such an inside joke. About a year ago, Olyphant also had a very cute Ellen interview where he talked about his pets, especially two Shiloh Shepherds that he calls “Ah-ah!” and “NO.” Last night with Letterman, Olyphant dished on how his 12-year-old daughter (he’s got two other children, aged 8 and 10, with wife Alexis) doesn’t think he’s a very cool guy at all. Olyphant (and his fans) would beg to differ:
I just love this guy. He’s very grounded and has been puttering around Hollywood since the mid 1990s, so it’s nice to see him gain some much deserved mainstream success. Of course, that also destroys my fantasies of keeping him all to myself, but whatever. I can deal if it means seeing more Olyphant. Here are some closeups. He looks so good going gracefully grey at the temples, right? Photos courtesy of WENN |
Christie Brinkley breaks down crying about her divorce, calls her ex a narcissist Posted: 27 Mar 2012 07:03 AM PDT
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Christie Brinkley and her fourth husband, architect Peter Cook, divorced after 12 years in 2008. The divorce was public and we learned some pretty damning details about Cook, including the fact that he’d had an affair with an 18 year-old intern he hired (and later paid a reported $300,000 to keep quiet) and that he had a very expensive online porn habit, costing thousands a month. Christie and Peter have two children, daughter Sailor Lee, 13, and son Jack, 16. (Jack is from Christie’s third marriage, to Richard Taubman, and was adopted by Peter. Christie also has daughter Alexa Ray Joel, 26, from her first marriage, to Billy Joel.) Some think Christie should have kept all of her husband’s ridiculous indiscretions quiet in order to spare their then-tween children the details. I initially had that opinion, but Christie is claiming that she had nothing to do with the fact that her divorce was public and that Peter spread that story in order to malign her. After I saw Peter interviewed on 20/20 in late 2008, I had much more sympathy for Christie. Peter basically blamed Christie for the fact that he cheated on her, and used the old “my wife wasn’t paying attention to me” line. He said crap like “I was seeking a connection I could not find in my own marriage” as if all of that was on Christie, not him. Later we found out that he had secretly made sex tapes of himself with his 18 year-old mistress, with the mistress publicly stating that it was without her knowledge or consent. Well now Christie Brinkley, 58, is returning to Broadway in “Chicago,” and she’s still feuding with her ex over child support and visitation issues. Peter pays $1,200 a month child support, but he’s not up to date on his payments. After Christie filed paperwork with the courts claiming she was owed child support and that Peter was sending her nasty e-mails, Peter went on Nightline earlier this month and spewed a bunch of crap about how Christie was “publicly castrating him.” (His interview starts at 1:55 into this video.) Peter claimed that he didn’t owe support for a period of time in which Christie was away working, because he was watching the kids full time. Well Christie did her first interview on her divorce on The Today Show this morning. She also claimed that Peter has been trying to destroy her image, she called him a narcissist and she broke down crying.
[From Today.com] The stuff about the confidentiality agreement didn’t sound entirely right to me. As I mentioned, I thought that Christie fought to have the divorce made public, however she told Matt Lauer that “in New York State divorce court is always open. I had my trial like every other woman going through a divorce.” She might not be able to write a book about it, but all the crap that her ex did is already out there. I did find the rest of her argument somewhat persuasive. Her ex went on TV complaining about her after she filed what she says was standard court paperwork for child support. She’s claiming that she didn’t mean for this to be public at all. So now she’s trying to clear the air and defend herself. As the article above explains, Matt tried to call out Christie for feuding with her ex and creating a “poisonous atmosphere” which could “severly impact” the children. She then retorted that her ex husband is a narcissist and has a personality disorder. She didn’t take any responsibility for her relationship with him, but I’m not in her position and maybe it’s as bad as she’s saying. It didn’t make sense to me in that she still seems to be blaming him, though. She then broke down crying, saying that she just hopes for peace in her life. At least Lauer made the point that there are two sides to every story. I tend to agree with him. Christie is show at the Heart Truth’s Red Dress Fashion Show on 2-8-12.

Deadmau5 bashes Madonna for her drug references: “F–k off you f–king idiot” Posted: 27 Mar 2012 05:54 AM PDT Yesterday, we discussed the new photos of 15-year-old Lourdes, puffing away on a cigarette. I was surprised by how many of you didn't think a 15-year-old smoking was any big deal. I guess I was a late bloomer when it came to cigarettes, though – I tried cigs years AFTER I tried pot and LSD. Hmm… what does that say about me? Anyway, Madonna was asked about her daughter's cigarette-smoking in an interview yesterday, and Madge didn't seem all that concerned. All she said was, "I have to keep my eye on her.” I kind of like that Madge didn't get into it publicly – that if she has an admonishment for Lola, Madonna will do it privately. Madge did say that Lola is very talented though: “She plays the piano beautifully. She’s an incredible singer. But she’s going through that ‘I-don’t-want-anyone-to-notice-me phase.’” Meanwhile, in a turn of events, music producer and DJ Deadmau5 hates Madonna for Madge's "MDNA" album title and Madge's recent reference to "Molly".
[From Page Six] Do I have to have an opinion on this? Because I don't really. Madge was trying to seem hip and cool and "look at me, I can make drug references!" But I don't really think Deadmau5's criticism of Madge was on target – instead of bashing her for her fake philanthropy (which is another discussion altogether), he could have just said something about how out-of-touch she is these days. Speaking of Madonna being out of touch, she joined Twitter for a day to promote her album, and Justin Bieber ended up tweeting her. So Madge responded, "Come and join me on stage when I’m on tour when we are in the same city and congrats on your new single.” Madonna wishes. |
Khloe Kardashian claims PETA’s flour-bomber was “bullying” Kim Kardashian Posted: 27 Mar 2012 04:31 AM PDT Yes, we are still talking about The Flour-Bombing of The Kat-Face: An American Tragedy in Three Acts. First act: the flour-bombing on the red carpet of Kim's perfume launch, after which she laughed it off and declined to press charges. Second act: Kim milks the situation for more attention, telling everyone that she has decided to press charges against her flour-y assailant because Kim wants every flour-bomber to know that they can not and will not get away with it. Third act: the political ramifications, as they are. It was reported that Kim's assailant was some kind of animal-rights person, and that she shouted "fur hag" at Kim as she dumped flour-bombed Kim. Immediately following the incident, PETA denied that the woman was acting under their orders. Now it looks like the assailant was actually closely associated with PETA. So now PETA activist Khloe Kardashian is raging:
[From The Mail] Ugh. So much sound and fury over this dumb incident. I mean… sure. Animal rights. You shouldn't wear fur, etc. It was dumb to flour-bomb Kim Kardashian over her "fur hag" antics, though. And it's even dumber for Kim and now Khloe to milk this incident into some kind of epic catastrophe. It's just a cacophony of stupid at this point. Do you mind if I stop caring? UPDATE: Oh, and Khloe once met Christina Cho’s sister Michelle, who works for PETA. |
Jon Hamm isn’t interested in parenthood: “I’d be a terrible father” Posted: 27 Mar 2012 04:23 AM PDT I'm still pretty churned up over Mad Men's season 5 premiere on Sunday. Like, I could talk about it for hours, analyzing every single little nuance and glance and what it all means and what I think could happen next and what should happen next. But part of the joy of being a Mad Men-aholic is that Matthew Weiner and the writers take these characters to unexpected places, and the journey is the fun part. The journey and the superior acting – my mother recently said to me, "When I watch Mad Men, I forget that I'm watching actors. To me, those characters are real people that exist in the world somewhere." As you can imagine, my mom is all about Jon Hamm/Don Draper. So it's genetic, I guess. Like mother, like daughter. So… while I will admit that Don Draper is a deeply flawed man, I've always been of the opinion that The Hamm is pretty amazing in every conceivable way. Perhaps the only thing that I could possibly find fault with is his reluctance to marry his long-time girlfriend, Jennifer Westfeldt, otherwise known as "That Lucky Bitch." The Hamm seems particularly gun-shy about marriage, and now, as it turns out, he's personally opposed to fatherhood too:
[From Us Weekly] When Jennifer Westfeldt talked about her push-pull desire/ambivalence towards kids, I was somewhat surprised that she spoke about it with such honesty. Is it strange that I think that Jennifer probably did see herself becoming a mother at some point, but she simply ended up with a man who wasn't interested in fatherhood, so she just made her choice? Am I wrongly positioning her as a follower to Hamm's lead, or is that the impression you get as well? I think Jennifer made a choice: stay with Hamm and don't have kids or go find someone else. Did she choose wisely? Fourteen years later, she's still boning The Hamm. Would that be worth it if she really did want to be a mom? That's an honest question, by the way, not something nasty and judgy. I'm really asking, is it worth it? In my opinion, it was worth it. From the way Jon and Jennifer talk about their life together, they seem incredibly solid and supportive of each other, and that's more than a lot of people get. |
Jennifer Lawrence in Victoria Beckham in Madrid: youthful and appropriate? Posted: 27 Mar 2012 04:20 AM PDT Jennifer Lawrence covers the April issue of Interview Germany in a Dolce and Gabbana bodysuit. Naturally, she looks gorgeous, and her figure is smashing even though I’m not crazy about the smooshed boob effect at hand. Her girls look like they’re in pain, but at least JLaw isn’t sporting some ridiculous underboob. Obviously, I’d never make it in Hollywood because I can’t bear to even show more than a bare minimum of cleavage let alone smooshed-up boobs. It’s like any given rack gets stared enough already as is, right? I’m probably coming off like such a prude, but I can’t stand it when people talk to my chest and see no point in encouraging the practice. Anyway, there has been no rest for the wicked or, at least, one who solidly delivers as a morally ambiguous heroine in The Hunger Games. Now Jennifer has been dispatched for the Madrid premiere of the movie, and she’s wearing a Victoria Beckham dress with Brian Atwood booties. At least this dress is an improvement from the gawd awful red Marchesa gown that J-Law wore in Berlin, but to be honest, I’m of the opinion that both Marchesa and Victoria Beckham are amongst the most overrated designers currently favored by various Hollywood starlets. I just don’t get the appeal of either, and it bugs me that everything Victoria designs mostly just looks good on her. Still, this is a more youthful look for J-Law than she’s favored on recent red carpets, which is a welcome change. She still needs a new stylist for sure as well as a makeup artist who will stop piling on such heavy eyeliner all over that beautiful face. Also, those boots are fug.

William & Kate’s vacation budget is supplemented by Kate’s parents Posted: 27 Mar 2012 04:14 AM PDT Alright, correction time! The Mail was wrong! I was wrong too. Over the weekend, there were multiple reports that Prince William had whisked Duchess Kate away to Switzerland for a romantic getaway after he returned home from his six-week training mission in the Falklands. As it turns out, not so much. Yes, Kate and William are on vacation (again!!), but it's different. They went to a ski resort in France, not Switzerland. And they went with Kate's parents, on the Middletons' dime, just like the vacation to Mustique just two months ago. Does that make it better?
[From Us Weekly] I think my favorite line ever is "This was a treat from Kate’s parents, as William and Kate’s budget is quite small for trips." O RLY? Granted, I'd be willing to bet that Kate and William do cut corners when they're traveling and vacationing. They get discounts, they fly commercial, they might use coupon packages and stuff. But… they're still going on vacation all the time! And William and Kate's annual vacation budget is probably ten times what I make in a year, and I'm not even factoring in the cost of security and personal staff. But I guess we're supposed to accept them as "living on a budget" because their income, as it is, is being supplemented by Kate's parents and by William's extensive inheritance? Must be nice. God, I'd love a vacation. |
