| Kim Kardashian plays coy about her new Kanye West romance/publicity campaign Posted: 06 Apr 2012 08:22 AM PDT I hate that we're now talking about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. In the past, I've been happy to discuss the rumors, and I genuinely thought Kanye and Kim would make a good couple. But now that they're officially together… I'm disappointed. This relationship roll-out is crazy. Wednesday night, Kim and Kanye were spotted out on a date. Then Kanye's new single came out ("Theraflu") where he lyrically said he loved Kim. In a new interview with Today, Kim talks about Kanye, but she's famewhores her way into a half-assed denial that Kanye loved her while she was married. Whatever.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy She also says it's "ridiculous" to say that she got married just for ratings. While I think she's full of it in general, I will say that I don't think Kim got married ONLY for ratings. I think she just wanted to be married – I said that at the time, and I still think that. She was immature, she wanted the fairy tale, she thought Kris Humphries would be the bland choice. Whatever. She also talks about the fur issue, and she makes a decent point: wearing and buying fur isn't illegal. Enough. Getting back to the Kanye thing… there are about a million new stories about them. Bullet points? *Their first big public date was to The Hunger Games. Then they went to the interactive "theater experience" Sleep No More for "hours" and then they went to see a band play. Apparently, Kim and Kanye have been hanging out a lot while Kim has been in NYC, and Kim is finally ready to give a go now. After they spent the night together, they got lunch. It was epic. Life & Style also has a breakdown of their activities here. *People Mag's sources say that Kim and Kanye "have just now started dating" after keeping it "light" for a while. Kanye is a gentleman too – he helps Kim into her coat, and he looks at her a lot. *Page Six has a lengthy piece this morning about the seemingly contractual agreement that Kim and Kanye have made to "help push record sales and repair her reputation." Even Kanye's label didn't know he was dropping a new song, and Page Six refers to the whole romance as a "publicity campaign". You can read the story here. *I need to know if this Media Takeout photo is of Kanye and Kim. I really need to know. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet and PCN.      |
| Nicole Kidman cast as 33-year-old Grace Kelly: horrible idea or great choice? Posted: 06 Apr 2012 08:21 AM PDT Last year, producers announced a new film that caused a great deal of speculation. The film was called Grace of Monaco, and it would be about Princess Grace (Grace Kelly) in 1962, when France was basically trying to hijack Monaco as part of the republic. In 1962, Grace was 33 years old. So basically every blonde actress from 25 to 45 years old wanted to get the part. I ran through some options back in October - Charlize Theron, January Jones, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett and several more. You guys had lots of suggestions too, including Rosamund Pike and… Michelle Williams? Haha. Anyway, Grace has been cast. And it's someone that no one considered: Nicole Kidman?!?!? UGH.
[From The Hollywood Reporter] Go ahead and call me an ageist, but I really do think Nicole is TOO OLD to play a 33-year-old Grace Kelly. And I'm seriously exhausted with the fact that Nicole is up for roles of 33-year-old characters, and that she thinks taking those parts are a great idea. Besides that, Nicole looks awful as a blonde. Sure, she's graceful and elegant, like Grace. But I'm just not happy with this choice whatsoever, and I think Nicole and her crazy lips will screw this up completely.

| Renee Zellweger has half of Madonna’s face on the cover of Bazaar Russia Posted: 06 Apr 2012 08:02 AM PDT
Anyway I guess we should look into what Reene’s been up to, since she hasn’t had anything to promote and is adept at avoiding the paparazzi when she doesn’t need publicity. (When she does, she’s pretty obvious about it.) According to IMDB she’s got that Bridget Jones’ Baby, (aka Renee gains weight again) sequel potentially coming up and that’s it. (I’ll believe that movie is happening when I see photos from on set. Colin Firth has confirmed it’s happening, but I’m still not convinced.) Her last movie was in 2010 and that year she only had one film I don’t remember hearing about, My Own Love Song, with Nick Nolte and Forest Whitaker. So Renee has been laying low. The last time we covered her was at fashion week in September, 2011 and she was looking fabulous back then I have to admit. She also looked incredible at NY Fashion week. In this image, not so much. It’s probably an old photo doctored up. Maybe they just took Renee’s face and morphed it onto a model’s body. Story via Huffington Post. Here’s Renee at NY Fashion week on 2-14-12 outside the Vera Wang Show. Credit: GG/FameFlynet Pictures. She’s also shown at the airport in LA on 3-25-12. Credit: Visual/WENN.com    |
| Katie Holmes “is no longer intimidated” by Tom Cruise, who is pitching an on-set fit Posted: 06 Apr 2012 07:56 AM PDT Katie Holmes’ love for fug booties knows no boundaries, and she’s wearing them in every one of these photos except for the one above, which was taken at the Vanity Fair Oscar party and was the last time that she and husband Tom Cruise were photographed together. These days, Tom’s been very busy shooting Oblivion in New Orleans, and In Touch reports that Katie is “happy on her own” in New York City while hanging out with Suri. This comes in sharp contrast to last summer when Katie and Suri were in Miami almost the entire time while Tom was filming Rock of Ages. They swam and ate ice cream and watched Tom rock out on a balcony at their hotel. Now? After five years of marriage, Katie is allegedly much happier when overbearing Tom is not underfoot. Did someone have a contract renegotiation?
[From In Touch, print edition, April 16, 2012] Meanwhile, In Touch also reports that Tom is feeling very dejected that his wife is no longer doing everything he wants precisely when he wants it, so he’s taking it out on the Oblivion cast and crew:
[From In Touch, print edition, April 16, 2012] Eh. This sort of on-set behavior isn’t exactly new for Tom. Sure, people tend to describe him as a very friendly guy when he’s “on,” but he’s also known to be something of a Nazi at times. And of course, I’m not drawing an overwrought metaphor but actually talking about Tom’s role as a pseudo-Nazi in Valkyrie, where he was said to have raised a huge stink on set when someone farted during an obligatory moment of silence. Also, banning cell phones and iPads is typical on movie sets these days because studios are very paranoid about internet leakage (as they should be). Is Tom dejected that Katie no longer spends her entire life on his movie sets? Probably, but I doubt he’s taking it out on anyone in a public manner. He’s gotta protect that “nice guy” image. Still, I tend to think there’s some degree of truth to this story at least as far as Katie relishing her relative independence. Instead of spending months in hotels just to be near Tom for the entire duration that he films a movie, she’s been spending a lot of time alone in New York with Suri. Then she and Suri jetted down to New Orleans (where Oblivion is shooting) for a few days this past weekend. Katie wore her fug boots everywhere, and she looks a bit strained in this photo. Given that Tom is rather manic, he’s probably exhausting to be around on a long-term basis. In addition, it bears mentioning that Katie and Suri did not travel to New Orleans alone. They made a mini-vacation of it by bringing Katie’s parents along too. In this photo, there’s a real baby in that stroller, and it freaked me out a bit because I was expecting one of Suri’s dollies. Maybe it’s a Scientobot — their models are looking more lifelike every day. Just a few days ago (Wednesday), Katie was spotted back in Los Angeles wearing white pants and her fug booties. Those shoes will haunt my nightmares tonight. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet and WENN         |
| Samantha Brick changes her story on ‘Today’, claims she’s a “girl’s girl” Posted: 06 Apr 2012 06:02 AM PDT I thought this was happening yesterday, but as it turns out, The Most Gorgeous and Maligned Woman In The World (Samantha Brick) was interviewed this morning on the Today Show. Yesterday, we covered Brick's appearance on a British morning show, and I have to admit – I think the British morning show did a superior job. This morning, Ann Curry took the reins instead of Matt Lauer (probably because Lauer would have been called a bully), and while Ann had me laughing right out of the gate ("Are you serious?"), this interview is kind of meh. Brick now claims that she wrote her epic "JELLY H8R" treatise as "obviously, parts were tongue-and-cheek." Brick also claims that she didn't write the headline… like the headline ("There are downsides to looking this pretty") was the most offensive thing. Except that Brick says her original headline was "Why does the sisterhood hate attractive women?" Yeah… much less offensive? Sidenote: Brick's styling has improved greatly for this appearance.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy We get it, bitch. You live in the French countryside. ENOUGH. Stop mentioning it! I don't understand why she keeps saying that… is that the new version of "It's not my fault"? I live in the French countryside, don't call me delusional. I live in the French countryside, don't call me arrogant and self-absorbed. She's also saying that it was a first-person piece and it's not about ALL women – except that she did in fact draw from her own alleged experiences as a mind-blowingly gorgeous woman and claim flat-out that all women are jealous of her looks and treat her badly. When Ann calls her out for her vanity and narcissism, Brick's story changes once again and she claims to be a "girl's girl" with "a fantastic circle of girlfriends." Girlfriends that are obviously extremely jealous of her, I'm sure. I don't understand how Samantha claims to be "mortified" by the reactions to her piece. She's not the kind of woman who admits when she's wrong. Even now, she's not admitting anything, she's simply changing her story to fit her own sense of martyrdom, like she's once again been proven right – that everyone is attacking her for being beautiful and self-confident, and she's the biggest victim in the world. Basically, she's an a–hole. Photos courtesy of Today, The Mail.    |
| Jennifer Lopez’s new music video featuring Casper Smart: busted, terrible or sexy? Posted: 06 Apr 2012 05:31 AM PDT These are some photos of Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart out and about yesterday – during the day with her kids, and then in the evening, they went to the opening of Jennifer's newest restaurant in LA. Why so many photo-ops in one day? Because Jennifer Lopez is super-smart. Her new music video premiered on American Idol last night, and she knew everyone would be talking about this mess, so she gave us some new photos to go along with our stories. She's very Smart. Mrs. Casper Smart. So, the video… Us Weekly had a story before the AI premiere about the video possibly containing an "orgy scene" – a source says, "There’s a hot and steamy, sexy scene in the video where J. Lo, Casper and the dancers are on the floor pawing at each other… They’re very scantily clad.” Prepare yourselves. Gird your loins. We'll watch it together for the first time: GLITTER LOPEZ! Oh, the first "orgy" part is around the 0:22 second mark. It's less an orgy and more "a group of scantily clad people sleeping in a pile." Other random thoughts: Jennifer's body looks great, especially when she's wearing a leotard/bustier thing. You know what I mean? I think Jennifer's default-style is showing her abs, and I like it better when her abdomen is covered up and she's showing off her legs and cleavage (which is sexier, IMO). Ew… around the 1:30 minute mark, Casper really starts showing up. Casper and Jennifer have very little on-screen chemistry. 2:45 DANCE BREAK!!! I love that Jennifer puts good old-fashioned dance breaks in her videos. She's so dated. Also: I love that J.Lo makes sure that Casper is behind her at all times. He might be her boyfriend, but she's not going to let that mofo upstage her EVER. Everything past 3:30-ish is just awful, though. Blah. All in all, the video made me nostalgic for this… Ben Affleck was then and is still the best of Jennifer's video costars. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE HE DID THIS. Controversial opinion: I still f–king love this video. Photos courtesy of WENN, Fame/Flynet.    |
| Enquirer: Demi Moore texted nude pics to Ashton Kutcher recently, Rihanna freaked Posted: 06 Apr 2012 04:53 AM PDT
This story is in Mike Walker’s column in the National Enquirer. For Demi Moore’s sake, I hope this isn’t true. Given what we know about how she regularly tweets bikini photos of herself, along with the fact that we’ve heard for months that she’s still hopelessly hung up on Ashton, this isn’t much of a stretch. You can easily imagine her taking some well-lit, well-angled photos of herself and sending them to Ashton in a moment of weakness to show him “what he’s missing.” It’s sad and desperate, but she was with the guy for 9 years and she’s not ready to move on. It happens. Walker adds a twist to this story, which kind of makes me think it’s too good to be true. Supposedly Ashton’s latest hookup, Rihanna, (who issued a half-assed denial recently that convinced no one) found the nude photos of Demi on Ashton’s phone and chewed him out for it. Have we even heard that Rihanna was on the Two and a Half Men set before this point? You would think that TMZ or Radar would have picked up on that.
[From The National Enquirer, print edition, Mike Walker's column, April 16, 2012] I don’t know, it sounds too far fetched to me, but it could be true. Also in the “far fetched” department is a story in this week’s Star that claims that Chris Brown told Ashton to stay away from Rihanna, only he told Diddy to tell Ashton to step off on his behalf. What grade are they in? “My friend told me you were dating his ex girlfriend, and he doesn’t like it. He’s going to send you some angry tweets if you don’t stop seeing her.” I shouldn’t joke, we all know that Chris Brown is capable of more than just angry tweets, although he’s probably too chicken to hit another dude. Here’s the Star story, for what it’s worth:
[From Star Magazine, print edition, April 16, 2012] At first I didn’t buy Ashton and Rihanna as even a casual hookup couple, but I’m slowly being convinced. They may be over at this point, as OK! Magazine recently reported. Maybe this crap with Chris threatening Ashton (through Diddy, I can’t even) is what ended it. Rihanna seems kind of unhinged lately and I could see her getting with Ashton. I could also see him bolting at the first sign of trouble. If they did have some kind of hookup relationship, I doubt Rihanna took it seriously anyway. She’s all about being “hardcore” lately. Rihanna is shown at the airport in Tokyo on 3-31-12. She’s since gone back to brunette. Ashton is shown outside a Laker’s game on 4-3-12. Credit: WENN.com    |
| Shiloh Jolie-Pitt still sucks her thumb, and her parents try to bribe her to quit Posted: 06 Apr 2012 04:48 AM PDT Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is a thumbsucker. This isn't the best photo evidence of Shiloh's thumb-sucking, but I think that's what she's doing in the photos where she's carrying her white silkie. The silkie is covering it, but she's got that thumb in her mouth. Shiloh's about to turn 6 years old in May, which is too old to still be sucking your thumb, according to the experts that The Enquirer found. Of course, some of these "experts" are the same people who pull their hair out because a 5-year-old girl isn't interested in dresses and barrettes. Anyway, The Enquirer's sources say that Brad and Angelina are totally concerned about this pressing issue!
[From The Enquirer, print edition] I'm really only writing about this because I wanted to tell my own thumbsucker story. My mother was concerned when I started sucking my thumb when I was just a baby. So she put socks on my hands so I couldn't get at my thumbs. So I just sucked on the socks. To this day, she still occasionally refers to me "The Little Sock-sucker". Whatever – there are tons of practical and efficient remedies for thumbsucking, especially them the thumbsucker is old enough to be bribed (like Shiloh). Promise her all of the little pixie haircuts her heart desires. Promise her a Montenegro-Style shopping spree. Promise her a dirt bike. She'll stop sucking her thumb in no time.

| Jennifer Aniston & Justin are “super power couple” friends with Tom & Rita Posted: 06 Apr 2012 04:47 AM PDT Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are still together. And they had a date night on Wednesday – a double date night! Who were JustJen's couple-friends? Chelsea Handler and Andre Balazs (they're back together, you know)? Courteney Cox and [random Cougartown costar]? Who was it? Why, it was Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. And they were conveniently pap'd coming out of the restaurant too! You can see the photos here at X17. Imagine that.
I didn't really know that any of these people knew each other. I'm kind of disappointed in Rita and Tom – usually, they're socializing with Ron Howard and his wife or Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw. It feels like JustJen are trying to social-climb, rather than "a fun sake and sushi double-date between two super power couples." Too obvious, Huvane. I don't think anyone refers to (or even thinks of) Justin and Jennifer as a "power couple" (much less a “super power couple” – LOL) Especially considering their last film earned a whopping $6.6 million on its opening weekend. Tom Hanks makes that much in a few minutes of voiceover work. In his pajamas. In other JustJen news, The Enquirer has a lengthy story about their alleged wedding plans. Allegedly, the wedding is planned for this summer in Greece, specifically the island of Crete. Aniston wants her goddaughter Coco Arquette to be the flower girl, and Chelsea Handler will be the cocaine-soaked maid of (dis)honor. Aniston wants it to be intimate – just friends and family, except for her mother, of course, whom Aniston refuses to invite. Blah, blah. This isn't happening. But it does remind me of one connection that Aniston has with Rita Wilson – they're both Greek girls. But that seems like a weird basis for a "super power couple" friendship, right?

| Gwyneth Paltrow snubbed Jessica Alba when she asked for website advice Posted: 06 Apr 2012 04:40 AM PDT As CB reported a few months ago, Jessica Alba has been busily shilling her second career in the form of a line of organic baby care products for her new endeavor, The Honest Company. Mostly, the company sells biodegradable diapers, laundry detergent, and household cleaning supplies. Alba also said that she came up with the idea for the company while she was pregnant with Honor, and she seems committed to providing environmentally friendly products at a (relatively) affordable price. This seems like a smart investment for a fading starlet who’s still able to use her public profile to launch a business with a great deal of exposure simply because she’s a celebrity, and Alba isn’t talking down to her audience while promoting her business either. In sharp contrast, we’re all quite aware of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop website, which she uses to show the peasants what kind of life they could be living if only they were lucky enough to have a father who was a famous director and then go on to marry an overrated rock star. Still, it’s reasonable to believe that Alba (while preparing to launch her own site) may have wanted to seek advice from a “seasoned” cyber veteran such as Goop. This week’s issue of Star claims that Alba reached out in such a manner, and Gwyneth just ignored peasanty Alba:
[From Star, print edition, April 16, 2012] I can totally believe that this happened, and Goop probably thought that Jessica’s efforts would flounder without the indispensible benefit of her expert advice. Gwyneth needs to realize that not everyone is a threat to her Goopy empire. After all, Alba is selling products that people can actually use in everyday life, and Goop mostly dabbles in telling peasants what they should buy if they want to be enlightened and live the most perfect life ever. As for branding, Goop hasn’t done much of that except for her snooty travel app and those revolting Goop colon cleanses. Gwyneth is such a ridiculous joke, but I can see Alba’s company being a viable source of income for her for decades to come. Interestingly enough, this week’s Goop newsletter is geared towards mothers-to-be, and The Honest Company does not make an appearance. Coincidence? I think not. Also, I love these photos, which show Goop hiding from the cameras (because she can’t do her own makeup) while heading to a London restaurant on 3/19. “Away with you, peasants!” Photos courtesy of WENN         |
