| Jennifer Lawrence wants to be Bridget Jones, “to bathe in a pool full of pasta” Posted: 28 Mar 2012 09:22 AM PDT 
As expected, Jennifer Lawrence is a very hot commodity following the record-breaking opening weekend of The Hunger Games. So it comes as no surprise to learn that many of her words will be twisted especially in relation to future casting rumors. This prospective rumor stems from JLaw’s chat with Interview Germany (the one with the smooshed-boob cover shot, where JLaw gushes about how much she loves Bridget Jones’s Diary and would in fact love to be Bridget Jones. But wait a second, Jennifer’s not really saying that she wants to be in the next Bridget Jones movie — and she’s really too young at this point to carry on the storyline of a late 30s singleton caught between a cad and a very hard Colin Firth. Yet I can see this statement being turned into a JLaw/Renee Zellweger bitchfight (because part three is a go and shall surely result in inevitable disaster) even though Jennifer has essentially made a harmless, gushing statement. JLaw also talks about wanting to take a bath in a tub of pasta when she gets her first huge paycheck. Is she contemplating angel hair? Maybe tortellini would provide more of a comfy cushion: Jennifer Lawrence has revealed her desire to play Bridget Jones – the ditsy thirty something woman character portrayed by Renee Zellweger in the hugely popular movies. Lawrence’s Hollywood stock has skyrocketed after her latest movie The Hunger Games grossed a reported $155 million at the box-office last weekend. Speaking to the German issue of Interview magazine, Lawrence, 21, said she would love to play the famous British singleton, saying, “I have always wanted to play Bridget Jones.That’s the movie I put on when I am homesick, although England is not my home. When you’re feeling ‘bleh’ and you want a movie that you’re never bored of watching, Bridget Jones is that for me so it’s natural to say that I want to be Bridget Jones.” However, the actress said she would “never” want to replace Renee Zellweger, who has reportedly signed on for a third movie in the franchise, tentatively titled Bridget Jones’s Baby. The movie, also starring Colin Firth and Hugh Grant, is being penned by award-winning author David Nicholls, though a release date is yet to be confirmed. The three Hunger Games movies are likely to make Lawrence one of the most popular young actresses in Hollywood, and potentially one of the richest. However, when pushed on what she’ll do with her expanding bank balance, Lawrence said, “When I get my first real cheque, I want to bathe in a pool full of pasta.”
[From Contact Music] Jennifer’s playing it safe by merely acknowledging how much she loves the first Bridget Jones movie (notice that she doesn’t mention the second one) and how it’s mainly a source of nostagia and comfort to her. She’s also saying that she’d never try to steal the role from Renee Zellweger, who’d probably shank her at the mere thought because (sadly) Renee doesn’t have much else going on at this point. Still, the seed has been planted even though JLaw really hasn’t said anything wrong here. In fact, I am now envisioning a “Carrie Diaries”-styled prequel to the Bridget Jones series materializing in front of some greedy studio exec’s eyes as we speak. Try and tell me that Jennifer doesn’t look more than a little like a young Renee in these photos of her ducking through Heathrow airport on 3/27. You know Hollywood won’t be able to resist a prequel especially if someone like JLaw is interested. 
Jennifer is also currently in the midst of adjusting to a virtually overnight state of massive fame, but the Chicago Sun-Times reports that she’s trying to resist the notion of hiring constant security: Even as Jennifer Lawrence is telling everyone she won’t be overwhelmed by the intense fame she’ll gain from starring in the Hunger Games phenomenon, she has reluctantly agreed to the whole new team of bodyguards assigned to protect her from paparazzi and crazed fans. A friend of Lawrence — a big politico close to the Obamas — told me the superstar-in-the-making doesn’t want protection 24/7, only at public events. “Hearing Jennifer lay down the ground rules for just how intrusive the bodyguards can or cannot get,” the source said, “reminds me of Michelle Obama and her comments about the Secret Service, back in 2008!”
[From Chicago Sun-Times] I like that Jennifer is still behaving like she’s not a big deal, but she might have no choice but to hire a full-time bodyguard in the near future. Here she is trying to pick up coffee at Whole Foods in Santa Monica on 3/23 where she needed help from store security just to get out the door again.

| Megan Fox covers Jalouse: “I would not trade my place with an unattractive girl” Posted: 28 Mar 2012 08:46 AM PDT 
Megan Fox may or may not be pregnant – we already covered that story today. But what is not up in the air is whether Megan Fox is vapid. She is. Always and forever. Megan covers the new issue of Jalouse Magazine – a French publication. As such, the quotes from her interview were probably said in English, translated to French, and then re-translated into English. So… some of the awfulness might be because something is lost in translation. Or it could be a completely accurate translation of Megan's vapidity. You decide. French-speakers, you can read the original piece here and tell me if the translation is accurate. Megan on her role in ‘Friends with Kids’: “I’m Mary Jane, the character played by Adam Scott thinks he is her soul mate. But he has a baby, I’m very independent, and he disapproves of her lifestyle.” On shooting magazine covers and ads: “I hate taking pictures, I never watch them, otherwise I would have wanted to change everything. I prefer not to see any and trust the photographer, who knows his job.” On the importance of her looks: "I live well with my image, I cannot complain, I would not trade my place with an unattractive girl."
[Via Global Grind] "I would not trade my place with an unattractive girl." UGH. Megan consistently wants to put herself out there like she's super-confident, bordering on obsessively narcissistic, but in reality, I think she's just a not-so-bright girl-woman who has major self-confidence issues. I think that's why she keeps tweaking and filling and Botoxing – because she doesn't really think she was "good enough" to start with. But I still can't even imagine having a moment of "I would not trade my place with an unattractive girl." Well, at least she has her priorities straight, I guess. UPDATE: I’m surprised at how many people are defending Megan’s comments. I guess I was taken aback by how she seems to only value beauty and nothing else. She doesn’t seem to be saying, “I wouldn’t trade places with anyone because I like who I am.” She’s saying, “I’m pretty and I would never want to be ugly because being pretty is all I’ve got.”

| Alicia Silverstone feeds her toddler from her own mouth, posts video and explanation Posted: 28 Mar 2012 08:04 AM PDT 
Video is below
Like the Octomom story, Kaiser, Bedhead and I all had a little e-mail conference yesterday in which we agreed to skip this story for a while. Now that it’s even bigger news this morning, we’re giving in and covering it. So you’ve undoubtedly heard that actress Alicia Silverstone posted video in which she chews up food and feeds it to her baby, Bear Blu, now ten months old, from her own mouth. Alicia wrote that Bear was a month or two younger when she filmed that video and that now he will crawl across the room expecting to eat from her mouth whenever he sees that she’s eating. It’s controversial to say the least. Alicia put out a vegan cookbook in 2009 called The Kind Diet. This may be a natural parenting thing, but this is the first I’m hearing of it. Is Alicia Silverstone getting her parenting tips from birds? The actress’ 10-month-old son, Bear Blu, is already eating solids — as long as they’ve been pre-chewed. In the latest video posted on Silverstone’s website, the 35-year-old feeds her baby by chewing up his food and feeding it to him mouth-to-mouth. “I just had a delicious breakfast of miso soup, collards and radish steamed and drizzled with flax oil, cast iron mochi with nori wrapped outside, and some grated daikon. Yum!” she wrote on The Kind Life, the website for her vegan cookbook, “The Kind Diet.” The “Clueless” star explained, “I fed Bear the mochi and a tiny bit of veggies from the soup … from my mouth to his. It’s his favorite … and mine. He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I’m eating. This video was taken about a month or 2 ago when he was a bit wobbly. Now he is grabbing my mouth to get the food!” “Pre-chewing” is actually a thing, but it’s very uncommon in the US and other Western nations and not recommended by health care professionals, as it can pass infection and disease from parent to child. Dr. Jennifer Landa, who dedicates her practice to bioidentical hormone therapy, customized nutrition and fitness programs, told Fox News: “There are those who think that a mom chewing a baby’s food provides helpful enzymes from her mouth but it doesn’t seem like a hygienic practice. Various viruses and bacteria, but especially herpes virus, may be passed from mother to baby. These microbes present a challenge that the infant’s immune system may not be ready for.”
[From The Huffington Post] Some people are saying this is shocking and not at all hygienic. Others are saying that this is how mothers fed their babies for thousands of years (we haven’t been around for millions yet) and that it’s natural and safe. This is why I quoted this story from Huffpo, because it seems to have a good balance of both perspectives. My reaction is more of puzzlement. I’ve read comments in which people say they’ve chewed up food for their babies, and maybe I’m naive or not creative but this never occurred to me and I’ve never seen other moms do it. I just fed my baby soft food. Plus there are blenders, food processors and gadgets specifically for making baby food. So it seems unnecessary and kind of risky. Alicia is putting this out there, though, so she wants us to talk about it. To each their own I guess. As long as her kid is happy and healthy.  |
| Prince Harry moves in with Prince William & Duchess Kate. Again. Posted: 28 Mar 2012 08:03 AM PDT 
Just before Duchess Kate and Prince William married, there was a lot of discussion regarding where the new royal couple would live. At the time, William and Prince Harry seemed to share a large apartment in Clarence House, the residence of the Prince of Wales, and it was believed that when Will and Kate married, the Queen would make arrangements for them to live in their own apartment somewhere else. Well, all of those early reports were correct – Will and Kate will be moving into a newly refurbished apartment at Kensington Palace, and until the renovations are done, they stayed at William and Harry's old Clarence House apartment for a time, and then they moved into Nottingham Cottage, which is KP-adjacent. I theorized that for the brief time when Harry, William and Kate lived together at Clarence House, it was going to be like a royal version of Three's Company. What's funny is that now Harry has moved in with Will and Kate at Nottingham Cottage! Prince Harry has secretly moved in with his newly-wed brother and sister-in-law at their new official residence, Kensington Palace. The 27-year-old royal shipped his belongings over from his old room at Clarence House last week, shortly after returning from his hugely successful first solo tour on behalf of the Queen. And far from reminding the prince that 'three's a crowd', the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have welcomed Harry with open arms, the Mail can reveal. William and Kate currently live in Nottingham Cottage, which is situated in the north of the palace grounds. Harry has moved into what is jokily being referred to as the 'royal bedsit' in a residential wing nearby, a modest one-bedroom former staff apartment with a small lounge, kitchenette and bathroom. The apartment has been empty for some time meaning the third-in-line-to-the-throne, who used to share a suite of rooms with his brother at Clarence House, their father's official London residence, was able to move in straight away. When William and Kate eventually move into Princess Margaret's old apartment, which will become their permanent Kensington Palace base, towards the end of next year, Harry will then take over their cottage. A source told the Mail yesterday: 'He has been really looking forward to getting his own place after living with his father for so long. Understandably he wants to spread his wings. Some people might find it strange that he is moving in next door to his brother and sister in law, but the three of them get on brilliantly and love spending time together. Prince Harry adores his brother and says Catherine is the sister he never had. They were so enthusiastic about the idea of living together that when it emerged that this apartment was free, Harry moved his gear in as soon as he could after returning from Brazil.' A palace source described the prince's apartment as 'surprisingly modest'. 'It's a small, one-bedroomed apartment. Not what you might normally expect. But he is very happy with the arrangement,' they said. Royal sources have told correspondent Max Foster that Harry and his brother are determined to spend the rest of their lives working in partnership together. 'Prince Harry and Prince William are a double act for the rest of their lives. They are very loyal and trust each other. Loyalty is key. Harry is very respectful towards William,' said one. The prince's current priority, following his well-received inaugural royal tour to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, is his military career. Harry, who recently qualified as an Apache attack helicopter pilot, is currently undergoing pre-deployment training at his Army Air Corps base in Suffolk in the hope of being redeployed to the frontline in Afghanistan later this year. CNN have been told that unlike his first tour of duty, palace officials will not attempt to keep it under wraps, despite claims the news could make his regiment more of a Taliban target. Sources also reveal that the prince, who is normally guarded by a Scotland Yard police protection team 24 hours a day, will not have any extra personal security when on the frontline. 'The thinking is that being an Apache pilot is quite an anonymous job and the Apache is already a target. They can't be more of a target than they already are,' the documentary is told. 'The palace doesn't see a need for Harry to have extra personal security in Afghanistan either, because his military base will, by its nature, already be secure.' A St James's Palace spokesman said: 'Prince Harry moved into accommodation at Kensington Palace when he returned from the overseas tour. This will now act his official London Residence. He still anticipates moving into the property currently used by The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge once they vacate it in the future.'
[From The Mail] There's more information about Prince Harry's latest charitable works at that Mail link. As for the details on the living arrangements – I've said it before, and I shall say it again: there's a good chance that Kate will end up giving birth to a ginger. I often wonder if Kate and William have any kind of sexual heat together (I don't think they do), but you wouldn't have to worry about Kate and Harry. THAT would be hot. Harry would bring the ginger fire (in his pants). But yeah, it's cute that William, Harry and Kate get along so well. Kate must feel like she married both of them sometimes.

| Should Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart star in ’50 Shades of Grey’? Posted: 28 Mar 2012 06:25 AM PDT 
Just so you know, this is my new favorite gossip story EVER. I read the headline and I couldn't stop giggling to myself. So… you know how that S&M novel, Fifty Shades of Grey, is like the newest "Must Read Book" amongst the mommy-set? I'm sure non-mothers are reading it too, but the book is getting crazy buzz as the must-get book-p0rn of the year, and now Hollywood is going to adapt it for the screen. The basic plotline is that Christian Grey is a billionaire and a "dominant" – meaning he's a sadist who is looking for a woman who will be his submissive. He finds Anastasia Steele, a young, virginal woman in her early 20s, and she becomes his submissive. Apparently – I haven't read the book yet, just FYI. I'll get around to it! Anyway, if this story feels familiar, it's because you've seen 9 ½ Weeks. Also: it's based on Twilight fan-fiction. FOR REAL. And now people are discussing whether Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson should be cast as Christian and Anastasia. FOR REAL. Since the adult erotic novel began as a 'Twilight' fan fiction, it makes sense for Rob and Kristen to star in the film version of the book! Fifty Shades Of Grey — the popular mommy porn that has hit Amazon's best-seller list — is being turned into a movie. Deadline.com reports that Universal and Focus Features acquired the rights to the novel for a cool $5 million. Now that we know it will hit the big screen, it's time to turn our attention to casting the big roles — and of course we think that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart would be perfect! Fifty Shades is the story of billionaire Christian Grey and recent college grad Anastasia Steele who fall in love despite Christian wanting Ana to be his "submissive" in a Bondage-Discipline/Dominant-Submissive/Sado-Masochistic relationship. However, the novel originally began as an adult, alternate universe Twilight fan fiction, with Edward as the billionaire and Bella as the virginal Anastasia. But the names were changed when it was published. And although Fifty Shades is devoid of vampires and werewolves, fans of both will recognize the similarities between the two stories — including Christian's adopted family and Anastasia's best male friend Jose. Since Robert doesn't have any work lined up yet, and everyone is dying to see more steamy sex scenes between him and K-Stew, these two should definitely think about these roles.
[From Hollywood Life] Oh. My. Gawd. Can you imagine? From what I know of Sparkles, that boy would simply have a full-blown nervous breakdown if he had to "dominate" a woman, even if it was just on screen. As for Kristen… well, do we really need to see her lip-biting and eye-rolling her way through a sex-heavy role? That image is what is cracking me up so much. Like, Sparkles tying Kristen to a bedpost and Kristen rolling her eyes and looking bored. I need to stop. I'm laughing too hard.

| Kim Kardashian photographed exiting a Botox salon, still claims she’s all natural Posted: 28 Mar 2012 05:58 AM PDT 
Let me describe Kim Kardashian's activities of Tuesday. First, she went to the gym. Then she went to The Laser Away Salon/Spa specializing in Botox – that's her leaving the Botox place in the header photo. Then she went to dinner at Mr. Chow's and then she went to an event for Valentino (I'm including those photos at the end of the post). I'm just trying to emphasize what a "normal day" consists of for Kim Kardashian. A little 'Tox, a little nosh, a little red carpet. And this is what Kim means when she talks about how hard she works, and how she's an amazing businesswoman. In her mind, she's the Steve Jobs of cat-faced famewhoring. Anyway, here's more about the 'Tox: Whatever her detractors say, you can’t deny that Kim Kardashian always looks sensational. Even the 31-year-old’s off days are pretty on, and given the fact that she’s admitted to suffering from the condition psorisis… her skin is bound to have issues. Having her resources though, means that the best treatment is available to deal with any problems and today, ahead of an appearance at Valentino party, she did just that. The high maintenance brunette perhaps headed for facial, to ensure her skin was red carpet ready for the high-profile. There is no suggestion she had Botox injections, despite the fact that the salon advertises it as a speciality. And Kim has admitted to trying the face freezer in the past. She was even filmed having the injections around her eyes in 2010, though she suffered an allergic reaction to the substance and her eyes became swollen and bruised. ‘I’m never doing this again… at least not until I’m 40,’ Kim told her family after learning that her bruises were a natural result of the injections. While Kim has confessed to having Botox injections but claims she has not had any actual invasive plastic surgery. ‘Trust me honey, if I take this bra off you will tell me I need to get them done,’ she said of her breasts on Nightline again in 2010. ‘I’m totally not against plastic surgery. … I’ve tried Botox before. That’s the only thing that I’ve done.’ Last night the reality TV personality had a relatively late night at Hollywood’s trendy Soho House. The E! TV personality donned an eye-catching yellow and black leather outfit and stayed out until around 10.30pm before heading home to her Los Angeles home. She appeared to be keen to show off the result of her hard work at Barry’s Bootcamp in her sexy outfit. Kim has been attending fitness classes in earnest, tweeting yesterday how she was working on her arms and abs. In a concerted effort to keep trim, she told her Twitter followers: ‘Up early to get this workout in! Get fit or die trying  ’
[From The Mail] Bulls–t. In my opinion, Kim gets regular Botox (she got it on her show once) and filler treatments, plus collagen injections in her lips, plus electrolysis, plus she's actually had PLASTIC SURGERY. Whatever. Just look at Kim at the Valentino event and tell me that she's super-all-natural.

| Beyonce & faux-fur-covered baby Blue Ivy make another outing in NYC Posted: 28 Mar 2012 05:01 AM PDT 
Here are some new photos of Beyonce and Blue Ivy. You can't even see baby Blue, though. Bey keeps Blue's face well-hidden for public outings, I'll give her that. Some sites are describing Beyonce's ensemble as "grey". PLEASE. That's a shade of blue-grey. Which is still a shade of blue. Which still goes with the whole ALL BLUE thing. Except for Beyonce's shoes, obviously. Meanwhile, all of Beyonce's friends and associates are still being sent out on a weekly basis to discuss baby Blue to the media, and to describe how Beyonce is obviously a wonderful and natural mother. Bey very well may be a natural and wonderful mother – but I dislike being told about her mothering skills every other day. It reeks of a concentrated PR campaign: "Mission: Beyonce's Motherhood!" In a recent interview, one of Jay-Z's employees talked about the baby and Beyonce: Blue’s a chip off the old block! With the recent early burst of warm spring weather in NYC, Beyonce has been spotted out and about frequently with daughter Blue Ivy Carter, 2 months. But the instantly famous baby’s actual face hasn’t been seen since her mom, 30, and dad Jay-Z shared intimate family pics of their newborn with the world on Feb. 10. So who does little Blue look like lately? According Grammy-winning singer Melanie Fiona — Jay-Z, 43, is her co-manager — it’s her papa! “Beyonce says Blue changes every day and looks just like Jay now,” Toronto native Fiona, 28, recently told Us Weekly. The R&B singer (her album The MF Life drops March 20) adds that fatherhood has her pal Jay (real name: Shawn Carter) completely blissed out. “He’s in a good mood all the time!” she says. And mama Beyonce, 30, is just as ecstatic. “She just is so happy. I’ve seen Bey like 3 times since she’s had the baby,” Fiona explains. “And she’s just glowing and she’s saying [motherhood] is the best, and she just loves it!”
[From Us Weekly] Sure. Whatever. I'm too tired to really get into it. I give up. Beyonce is the best mother ever and she surely gave birth to Blue and her body bounced back instantly and if you think differently, you are just a crazy conspiracy theorist. I GIVE UP. Oh, and everyone is saying that the fluffy blue-grey stuff is actually the “fur baby carrier”. I think it looks like faux fur, right? And I’m still not sure that the faux fur stuff isn’t part of the sweater…?

| Lindsay Lohan will guest star on ‘Glee’ as part of her career comeback Posted: 28 Mar 2012 04:36 AM PDT 
That header ^^ is an actual screecap from one of Gwyneth Paltrow's appearances on Glee, back in 2010. Gwyneth – and the writers of Glee – had some fun mocking Lindsay Lohan in Spanish. The Cracken, as you can imagine, whined and cried about it for months (in between doing lines at the Marmont, obviously). You would have thought that Lindsay would never want to have anything to do with anyone involved with Glee ever again! Except that Lindsay is a crackhead with a short attention span and a deep-seated need to be the center of attention, so now she's going to be on Glee. For real. Glee is going Lindsane. The Fox hit is in final negotiations with Lindsay Lohan to guest star in one of this season's final episodes, TVLine has learned exclusively. What's more, she'll be tacklinga role she was born to play: herself! An insider at the Fox hit confirms that, if the deal is sealed, the movie star-turned-tabloid queen — once famously the butt of a joke on the show — will serve as a celebrity judge at Nationals. Although there's no word yet as to who might be joining Lohan on the panel, past judges for the annual season-ending competition have included Josh Groban and Olivia Newton-John. The Glee gig would mark the latest leg of the troubled actress' Hollywood comeback, which got underway last month when she hosted Saturday Night Live. Her last scripted TV gig was a 2008 arc on Ugly Betty. She's currently in talks to play acting legend Elizabeth Taylor in a Lifetime biopic.
[From TV Line] You know what I think is funny? So far, we've only heard about this Elizabeth Taylor bio-pic from Camp Crackie. To my knowledge, Lifetime hasn't said a thing about it. No director, no producer, no costar has said anything publicly. It feels like the Linda Lovelace project all over again… like Lindsay just enjoys telling everyone that she's got the part but it all falls apart at the end of the day. So… while Lindsay was able to crack-walk her way through Saturday Night Live, and this Glee gig will probably happen, let's not push the whole "comeback" storyline too hard, okay? You know why everything is going to fall apart again? Because this hit-and-run story is yet another in a long line of cracktastrophes from Lindsay, only this one has legs. Legs that Lindsay will drunkenly crush under the wheels of her deathmobile. Thaer Kamal, the Hookah Lounge manager that alleges Lindsay Lohan hit him and his vehicle, met with two LAPD detectives Tuesday morning at an undisclosed location for more than an hour, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. As previously reported Lohan, 25, was driving away from the Sayers Club in Hollywood almost two weeks ago in her new black Porsche when she says she was blocked by a horde of paparazzi and club patrons from the nearby Hookah Lounge. As Lindsay was trying to make a U-turn among the crowd at the late night hotspot, she allegedly hit Kamal and his car and then sped off. Kamal was interviewed by investigators from the LAPD for more than an hour, and his two attorneys, Mark Gergaos and Tamar Arminak were present. “Thaer gave an honest and accurate account of what happened to him that night,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “He wants Lindsay to be held accountable for her actions. She shouldn’t have driven away after hitting him, period. He doesn’t want her to get away with it. Thaer feels that Lindsay’s camp has bullied him by making up stories that he was being investigated for insurance fraud. He was steadfast in his conviction that he has never committed any crime, and hasn’t been investigated ever for fraud. Thaer is fearful for his family back in Iraq, he has done nothing wrong, he didn’t break any laws. He served with the United States Army for six years and seven months, and has a spotless record. He obeys all laws, and he wonders why Lindsay doesn’t.” As RadarOnline.com previously reported, media reports circulated last week that Kamal was being investigated for insurance fraud in eight different cases for staging fake car accidents and filing bogus claims. “Let’s be very clear about this, Thaer Kamal has never been investigated for insurance fraud, fraud, staging car accidents or anything even remotely related to any illegal criminal behavior,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com. “Thaer doesn’t have a criminal record, has never been arrested and this is the first time he has ever filed a claim with his insurance company. Thaer is disgusted that these false reports have been made.” Kamal’s attorneys are looking into who has been slandering their client. “Mark and Tamar will be investigating who made those false statements about Thaer being the focus of insurance fraud investigations and will take the appropriate legal action against those responsible for the false and defamatory comments if necessary,” the insider said. Geragos turned over the surveillance video that captured the alleged hit and run, as well as Thaer’s medical records. “The detectives were very receptive and interested in Kamal’s statement. It was done professionally, and away from prying eyes so that Thaer can try and maintain some sort of privacy because of security concerns for his family in Iraq,” the source says. Lindsay is scheduled to appear for her final progress report Thursday in connection with her necklace theft case. Despite media reports that Lindsay is in the clear from this incident, our law enforcement source says, “that isn’t accurate because this is still an ongoing criminal investigation. It’s a fluid situation and the detectives will be conducting further interviews with eyewitnesses.”
[From Radar] While I don't think this stuff will end up affecting her probation hearing on Thursday (the judge wants the Cracken off of her docket by any means necessary), I do think Lindsay is going to be dealing with this Kamal stuff for much longer than she expected.

| Kate Winslet in black Jenny Packham at the ‘Titanic 3D’ premiere: lovely or matronly? Posted: 28 Mar 2012 04:20 AM PDT 
Last night was the London premiere of Titanic 3D. Leonardo DiCaprio did not come out. But Kate Winslet was there! As was James Cameron (the director) and Billy Zane, that world-class freakshow. Let's just talk about Kate, shall we? Kate wore Jenny Packham, the designer of choice these days for everyone from the Duchess of Cambridge to Angelina Jolie to… Miley Cyrus. I don't really have strong feelings about this black silk crepe Packham gown either way. It's not bowling me over, but I think it's an okay choice for this premiere. It's sort of matronly and conservative… which fits, I suppose, with where Winslet is right now. Honestly, I could do without the sparkly (Swarovski crystal) cap sleeves. But the hair, makeup and jewelry all work for me. In the meantime, Winslet has been talking about the fire on Necker Island, which is Richard Branson's private island. Winslet was staying there with Branson (and Ned RockNRoll, who became Winslet's boyfriend) when a fire broke out last year. Kate Winslet told “Live with Kelly Ripa” that she felt anything but calm when lightning struck the flagpole of Branson’s lavish home and the whole thing went up in flames. “I really did think to myself, ‘Someone is going to say cut in a minute. Oh my God, no one is saying cut,’” shared Winslet. “I thought, ‘The wind machine is really good, but that rain is going to look so fake because there’s way too much of it. And this fire — it looks so real.’” Winslet told Ripa that, although the media did cover the fire, the seriousness of the blaze was not widely understood. “It is the one occasion where I would say the press didn’t actually really know the full extent of it. It was genuinely terrifying,” said Winslet. “If one of Richard’s nephews, Jack, hadn’t woken up and heard this loud bang — which was the windows exploding — he raised the alarm. Or if the wind was blowing in the other direction and our rooms had filled with smoke … who knows. Really, we woke up with about four minutes to get out. We were very, very lucky.” While much has been made of Winslet carrying Branson’s mother out of the home on her back, the actress says that those reports are greatly exaggerated. Winslet says she merely “helped her to get out faster.” Winslet shared that only one person was injured in the fire — Branson himself — and not because of flames or smoke. “Nobody was hurt, except Richard, who woke up and saw the house across from his, with us and all his family in there, and got up and ran, naked, right into a cactus,” said Winslet. “He got this huge cactus needle stuck in his thigh.” While on Necker Island, Winslet met new boyfriend Ned RockNRoll, Branson’s eccentric nephew. While RockNRoll left a London hotel holding Winslet’s hand before today’s premiere, Winslet walked the red carpet solo, posing for photos with “Titanic” director James Cameron. Leonardo DiCaprio was also conspicuously absent.
[From Page Six] So Ned came to the premiere but he didn’t walk the carpet with her? What’s up with that? I still have very deep concerns about Ned RockNRoll, who I genuinely think is more useless than Duchess Kate. Ned seems like a total lay-about, coasting through life on his uncle's name and his estranged wife's fortune, and now his new girlfriend's money and connections. He's a golddigger. I don't care if their love was born in a fiery island catastrophe. He's still a golddigger. … But at least he's not Billy Zane?

| Octomom poses in her undies, pr0n king says “your market value has diminished” Posted: 28 Mar 2012 04:18 AM PDT 
This story came out yesterday but we didn’t want to touch it and are only giving in now that there’s a follow-up. We’re not posting the semi-nude pics of Octomom. We’ll just give you a link and a severe warning – there are things which cannot be unseen.
Octomom can’t live in her house anymore, having missed her mortgage payments for months while her kids have trashed the place. So she needs some cash to rent another house, and she posed semi-nude for the UK publication Closer for a reported $10,000. This is much less than the $100,000 she got for her bikini photoshoot with Star two years ago. Of course Octo denies getting plastic surgery, in a roundabout way, despite the fact that her stomach looks all kinds of tucked and pulled. You can tell that her bellybutton is man made. And she talks about how men want her, but claims she’s going to remain celibate. This is all crap we’ve heard from her countless times before, including the fact that she’s always broke and can’t pay her mortgage despite making decent money for these photos and interviews. You can read details from the Closer interview here. We’ll just report on this story from TMZ, which quotes Vivid head Steve Hirsch as offering her $100k for three hardcore scenes. This is just 10% of what he offered her in 2009. Octo has repeatedly pledged never to do pr0n. In case you didn’t know, Vivid honcho Steve Hirsch offered Nadya Suleman $1 MILLION in 2009 to star in her own skin flick — but Octo turned him down. Hirsch made a second offer in 2010 to help bail her out of foreclosure — $500,000 for ONE hardcore scene — but Octo rejected that too. Now, in the wake of Nadya’s topless photo shoot, Hirsch is making one final push to lock the mother of 14 into a pr0n contract — except this time … he’s not offering 7 figures … OR half a million … not even close. Hirsch sent Octo a letter yesterday, offering her a paltry $100,000 to appear in THREE hardcore sex scenes — claiming, “Regrettably your market value has diminished.” She might need the money, but don’t count on Nadya chomping at the bit any time soon — Octo called in to TMZ Live yesterday, and seemed pretty adamant she’d never do pr0n in a million billion years.
[From TMZ] Well if she’s not going to do it, it’s not relevant to her. It seems like a cheap shot for this Hirsch guy to keep bringing it up, but maybe he figures she’ll break down and do it eventually, and that it’s free press for him. It’s not like Octo hasn’t gone back on her word before. I only hope that her kids are getting decent care. Let’s face it, how can one person with a shifting view of reality reasonably care for 14 kids, 8 of which are all three years old? I doubt I could even babysit eight three year-olds for a day.
