Chloe Sevigny in Opening Ceremony: hilarious, busted and wonderful? Posted: 05 Apr 2012 08:26 AM PDT Chloe Sevigny has been all over the place lately, and I'm sorry I'm only covering photos of her today. Because Chloe Sevigny is a national treasure, truly. I want to believe that Chloe's style, her "look" comes with an inherent wink and nudge. I want to believe that Chloe is in on the joke, that she has fun with her style, that she's not taking any of this seriously. Because if this is really how she pulls it together, if she's really TRYING to look awesome… well, then that's a different story. Anyway, these are new photos of Chloe at last night's HBO premiere of Girls. Can we have a conversation about Chloe's hair? Because this is not working. It's not just about the bangs – it's about EVERYTHING. This is one of the worst haircuts ever. As for Chloe's dress, it's Opening Ceremony. It's pretty ugly, but I could see how it might be kind of cute if Chloe had simply styled it differently. You know who took the Fug Crown at this HBO event, though? Claire Danes in this hideous Preen dress. How is this NOT some budget disaster made by an 11-year-old who watches too much Project Runway? And here are some shots of Chloe at a "Fashion Cares" event last week. Love her lovely drunk-face. LOVE. If anyone else was flashing their bra in a see-through polka-dotted mess of a blouse, I would be gagging. On Chloe, it's so avant-garde! |
Octomom on going on food stamps: “I feel ashamed, but who cares how I feel?” Posted: 05 Apr 2012 08:03 AM PDT
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Octomom Nadya Suleman and her caterpillar eyebrows were on The Today Show this morning defending her decision to go on $2,000 a month food stamps for the sake of her children. I know she squandered her money and I know she’s lying about wanting to have just “one more” kid after the six she had her mother raise for her (she had 12 embryos implanted for God’s sake), but she sounds lucid and genuine at first. Despite all I know about her, she starts to win me over with a story about how she’s embarrassed relying on government assistance and how it’s for her kids. Then she rambles on in psychobabble, like she always does, I notice how badly her lips are trout pouting (I made that into a verb), and the manic behavior starts. She claims people tell her she’s “an inspiration in regard to how to remain strong being faced with such incredible impediments and adversity.” She created her outlandish situation, and she’s going to keep spinning it into something noble.
[From MSNBC.com] The stuff at the end is why she never earned that book deal we kept hearing about. She’s probably incapable of editing herself, and she’s such a ball of crazy that no one was willing to do it for her. Nadya claimed that social services will never break up her family and that she’s buddy-buddy with them. She said “We all talk, we’ve talked for years. They laugh too at the situation.” Can you imagine her having even a casual friendly relationship with anyone? She probably talks constantly on the phone and they put it down, get a cup of coffee, come back and she’s still talking. Now that she’s on food stamps at least her kids are getting fed, and I’ll leave it at that. |
Charlize Theron covers Vogue UK, talks about Jackson, “the coolest kid ever” Posted: 05 Apr 2012 08:02 AM PDT I think this is one of the prettiest pictorials I've ever seen of Charlize Theron. I like this better than her last "wet look" appearance on American Vogue too – Vogue UK does more challenging photo shoots, I think. So, Charlize appears on the May cover of Vogue UK (photos by Patrick Demarchelier), likely to promote her two films coming out in June, Snow White and the Huntsman and Prometheus (squeeee!). In the early interview excerpts, Charlize talks about adopting her son Jackson and her early days as a model:
She sounds peaceful. Of course, she's never really been crazy or anything. You sometimes hear stories about her being bitchy, but she's not neurotic or anything less than extremely self-contained. I suspect these basic-issue quotes about Jackson ("He is the coolest kid ever") will be some of the only things we hear about her son. Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe she'll go all Jennifer Garner and we'll be seeing photo-ops of Charlize and Jackson for months and years to come. But I doubt it. Vogue UK photos courtesy of The Fashion Spot. |
Samantha Brick’s “arrogance, air of superiority” called out in a new TV interview Posted: 05 Apr 2012 07:32 AM PDT Samantha Brick is now a global "celebrity". All because of being an arrogant, delusional dumbass. Brick wrote an essay in the Daily Mail two days ago in which she claimed that her extreme and overwhelming beauty has caused her so much suffering at the hands of petty, jealous (and older) women who fear her gorgeousness. You can read my highlights from the piece here. Brick then followed up that article after she was soundly slammed right and left. Brick claimed, "If Brad Pitt were to say: ‘Yes, I’m a good-looking fella,’ then the world would nod sagely in agreement. But if Angelina Jolie uttered something along those lines, she’d be subject to the same foaming-at-the-mouth onslaught hurled at me yesterday." Beyond comparing herself to Angelina (FAIL), Brick is sort-of right: if Angelina (or Brad, for that matter) had said those things, she would be slammed – for being delusional, arrogant and for having a contemptible outlook on life. Anyway, Brick sat down for an interview on ITV's morning show, and this interview is a GEM. First, the gentleman and lady (Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford) interviewing Brick are absolutely hilarious and on-target. But there's also a professional psychiatrist there too, and she makes excellent points about Brick's fallacy-filled essay: I think the best points were made regarding Brick's arrogance, and there's a huge LMAO moment around the 6-minute mark. There's a difference between being a self-confidant woman and being an arrogant, superior, self-pitying piece of work. Whenever Brick's intellectual arguments are questioned, she falls back into her comfort zone of "Everyone hates me because I'm gorgeous." When given the last word, Brick says: "This whole experience has proven my thesis… Women do not like attractive women. This is proven by the thousands of vile messages on my personal email account, on Twitter, and on my telephone answer machine." You can read more quotes from the interview here, but really, that video clip is worth a watch. |
Jennifer Love Hewitt: I’m single, Adam Levine is single, we’d be cute Posted: 05 Apr 2012 06:24 AM PDT
[From EllenTV.com received via email] When it comes to Adam Levine, all J.Love has to do is Google the guy. He’s a notorious player, he “allegedly” dumped Jessica Simpson by text message, and he just admitted on Howard Stern to regularly having unprotected sex. How is he at all a catch? I know this is J.Love’s go-to topic, her love life. Why does she have to be so obvious about it, though? She pursued Bachelor Ben Flajnik (after he got rejected by Ashley and before he landed his own segment), she admits having engagement rings picked out and visiting them every month, and she even publicly pressured a boyfriend to propose to her – really she did this. In a “What’s in My Purse” inset in US Weekly this week, J.Love shows several items that are all about attracting men. Some of her purse contents she’s willing to share: “I love Booty Parlor’s Kissaholic Aphrodisiac Breath Spray. You never know when a makeout moment is coming!” “I carry McCormick’s Pure Vanilla – the baking kind – and dab it on my neck. Men are attracted to the scent! One time, I put it on and four different guys were like, ‘You smell amazing!‘” “My passport is always with me. I love to feel like at any moment, I could hop a plane and go someplace exciting!” There’s a reason why all the women’s dating advice books say basically the same thing. It’s not about being a doormat, being always available (to travel, etc.) or announcing you like a guy. It’s about being cautious and figuring out if someone is right for you. If they are, they’re not going to bolt because you weren’t clingy enough. Hewitt’s like the poster girl for what not to do when you’re looking for love. Obviously it has little to do with how hot you are, since she’s a knockout. Here’s J.Love on Ellen. The relationship talk happens around 2:20. And here she is at The Client List launch party last night in her standard Leger bandage dress. Credit: Brian To/WENN.com. Ellen photo credit: Michael Rozman/Warner Bros. |
Jeremy Renner isn’t gay: “I want my personal life to be personal, it’s not f–king true” Posted: 05 Apr 2012 06:15 AM PDT God, I love Jeremy Renner. I find him incredibly sexy, probably because the little guy has some mystique about him. He got his biggest break when he was 38 years old (The Hurt Locker), and since then, he's been surprisingly good at managing his press. You hear the gay rumors about him all the time, but that hasn't deterred from his "butch" image. When boyish man-children are invading superhero costumes as far as the eye can see, it's dudes like Jeremy and Jon Hamm taking the "Real Man" mantle. Renner is grizzled. Renner is sun-damaged. Renner knows how to fix your car and refinish your floors. I would imagine that he would know how to clean your pipes, too. Speaking of, Renner covers the new issue of The Hollywood Reporter – you can read the full article here. He's promoting his part in the new Jason Bourne film (The Bourne Legacy) as well as The Avengers. Here are some highlights from the piece:
[From The Hollywood Reporter] See? He seems like a nice guy. I like the "I don't do bar fights" line – it speaks to his emotional maturity. And he's not gay! Hopefully. Probably. Definitely? Sure. Whatever, I'm buying it. I think he's into girls, big time. I think he talks about loneliness and he uses those intense, world-weary puppy-dog eyes and the panties just slide off of whatever girl he's working on. And he might work with Fassbender in The Counselor too! OMG. |
Michelle Williams gets the Jennifer Aniston victimhood treatment by Us Weekly Posted: 05 Apr 2012 04:33 AM PDT I don't even have the energy to give Us Weekly's cover story the proper hyper-dramatic eye roll it so desperately needs. Michelle Williams is "finally letting go of the pain and allowing herself to love again" after Heath Ledger. This would have been a decent story in the months before Heath's death, when both Heath and Michelle were seeing other people. This was definitely a better story when Michelle began dating again about a year after Heath died, when she counted directors Spike Jonze and Cary Fukunaga as steady boyfriends. But because Cary and Spike aren't regulars on your television set like Jason Segel, I guess we're all supposed to just wholeheartedly buy into Michelle's second virginity. It's not that her grief bugs me – she has every right to grieve. What bugs is that I feel like Michelle uses her grief as a PR angle. I feel like I'm being sold Michelle's grief, prepackaged in Us Weekly and People Magazine. Anyway, some highlights from Us Weekly's cover story:
[From Us Weekly, print edition] At one point when Us Weekly cues the violins for Michelle, they reference that Vanity Fair article about Heath's death, in which several people close to Heath said negative things about Michelle and how she treated Heath in the final months, and how she denied him access to Matilda (you can read some highlights from the VF piece here). Us Weekly notes that Michelle never deigned to answer those criticisms, but the way the issue is framed in the tabloid, it's like Michelle is being persecuted. There's even a reference to “knives” being plunged into Michelle's back. Here's a real question: why is Michelle Williams suddenly getting the Jennifer Aniston-Victimhood Tabloid Treatment? We get it, she's sympathetic. She would be more sympathetic if she wasn't trying to force us to see her as sympathetic. |
Ali Lohan, 18, “looks terrible, like she has an eating disorder,” says Radar Posted: 05 Apr 2012 04:32 AM PDT We haven't had any Ali Lohan stories since last December, when it seemed like Ali was everywhere. She's a "model" you know. And she's a celebrity in her own right, which is why she made an appearance on an issue of Page Six Magazine, in one of the sketchiest interviews I've ever read. Ali comes across as a sober girl, but a girl who has been raised by cracked-out wolves. She's got the crack-paranoia, the crack lies, the secrecy. Back in December, critics were also putting Ali and the Family Lohan on blast because Ali seemed to have drastically reduced in size. She's always been a tall girl, but everyone started concern-trolling her about her weight. So this story is a repeat, sort of. Radar is once again claiming that Ali "looks like she has an eating disorder. First, a breakdown of the photos I'm using in this post: December 12 (Ali in a red and white onesie), February 12, 2012 (Ali in a black t-shirt), March 8, 2012 (Ali in jeans and a beige sweater), March 12, 2012 (Ali in jeans and a black jacket) and the black-and-white photos are from Terry Richardson's blog, sometime in late February or early March I think. I'm not seeing a huge difference in Ali's size from month to month. Yes, she looks very, very thin. She looked thin in December too. Personally, though, I'm more concerned with all of Ali's plastic surgery – she's starting to look like Paz de la Huerta! Radar is raising the red alert over this new photo of Ali – meh.
Blah, blah, concern-troll, etc. Should Ali go back to solids? Of course. But unlike some celebrities who use "growth spurt" and "puberty" as an excuse to binge and purge, I'm kind of buying that Ali's metabolism is still changing, and she's still growing. I also think Ali probably never learned about nutrition or healthy eating from her family too, so she's probably just eating whatever is around – vodka, Adderall… mayonnaise? I'm sitting here trying to figure out what would be in a crackhead's refrigerator. It's like the greatest crack riddle of them all.

Keira Knightley goes makeup-less for a date night with her bf, James Righton Posted: 05 Apr 2012 04:15 AM PDT These are some new photos of Keira Knightley with her boyfriend, James Righton, out in London last night. She and James had dinner with James at La Bodega Negra and then they went to The Box with some friends to see Jean-Philippe Rio-Py. One of Keira's "friends" included Downton Abbey hottie Dan Stevens! Now I kind of want Dan Stevens and Keira to get together, but that's a discussion for another time. Keira has been dating James for more than a year, it seems. Keira and Rupert Friend broke up back in December of 2010, and shortly after the split, Keira was spotted with James frequently around London. Righton is the keyboardist and vocalist for the indie band Klaxons. James is cute, but why does she always go for the fey ones? I'd like to see her with a man's man, just once. I think Keira looks cute and low-key in these photos. The clothes aren't flattering, I don't think she's wearing any makeup and her hair is a hot mess, and I like it. I like that she goes out like this. It's refreshing. In a new piece with Interview Magazine, Keira spoke about her self-consciousness with her body, saying "I’m incredibly self-conscious about the fact that I get bad skin" and she finds herself focusing on "the bits you don’t particularly… Do I sometimes feel incredibly shy about going out even in a bathing costume into a swimming pool? Yeah, actually, I do. I was on the beach the other day … with some friends. They were all totally fine taking everything off and I was sitting around in my jeans and a top. I kind of didn’t want to take anything off." But Keira also says that "…At a certain point, I’ve had to get over my own body anxiety issues so it doesn’t get in the way of telling the story." By the way, I finally saw A Dangerous Method over the weekend, and I was surprised by how good Keira was in the film. I'd read several reviews where Keira was described as "the weak link" in the trio of performances (which also included Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensen), but I thought her performance was very brave. And of course, Fassy spanked the hell out of her. It was pretty awesome. |
Kim Kardashian covers Cosmo UK: “I’m not even close to dating again!” Posted: 05 Apr 2012 04:14 AM PDT Kim Kardashian covers (kovers) the May issue of Cosmo UK. She was just on the cover last summer too, which makes me wonder what the Cosmo UK editors are smoking. Kim also kovers several tabloids this week, for various reasons. Let's just do everything in bullet points, shall we? First, some highlights from Kim's Cosmo interview:
Whatever, do I have to discuss this stuff? There's nothing incredibly notable here, and Kim isn't even claiming to be a size 4 anymore. I don't have a problem with anything she's saying, but I still think she's full of it, especially about the whole "I'm not dating right now" stuff and the "I won't have a relationship on camera anymore" stuff. As for this week's tabloids, here are some highlights: *Life & Style continues to get info from Kris Humphries and his lawyers. Team Basketball is still pursuing a "burn the house down" legal strategy, and now they're even threatening to call Ryan Seacrest in the divorce case. *Kris claims he has proof that Kim was still in contact (and/or boning) with Reggie Bush and Kanye West during their engagement and marriage. Kris has the text messages! *Kanye's new song might be about Kim and how he fell in love with her? Also something about Jay-Z and the Nets? *Kris has a new magazine photo shoot, and it's gross. And that's all I really have to say about this mess. I can't believe people are actually taking sides between Kris and Kim. They both suck as people. |
