Giuliana Rancic claims she’s unsure whether her baby will be on her reality show or not Posted: 10 May 2012 09:39 AM PDT
[From E! Online] Maybe I’m being too influenced by E!’s take on Giuliana’s comments, and she’s just saying that it might be a crazy time for them and they’re not sure if they can continue filming right after their baby comes home. I tend to think that they don’t have to think twice about it, and that this is what they’ve been waiting for all along, so of course the child is going to grow up on television. This is what they do, they put their lives on TV and their kid(s) are going to be on TV too. I would like to be wrong, I would like for Giuliana and Bill to put the kibosh on their show and say that they want to focus on their child and on giving him or her a nice, normal life outside of television. Wouldn’t that be something, for a couple to give up fame and cash for the baby they’ve waited and hoped for for years? Yeah, that’s not going to happen. Here’s Giuliana at an event to raise money for prostate and breast cancer research on 5-9-12. She looks unwell, but that may be because we’re not used to seeing her with her hair pulled back. I am not a fan of her see through dress, but her shoes are kind of cute. I would wear them. Giuliana and Bill are shown at the E! upfronts on 4-30-12. Credit: FameFlynet, Inc. |
Rob Pattinson worried he wasn’t right for ‘Cosmopolis’: “It gave me balls” Posted: 10 May 2012 09:27 AM PDT Robert Pattinson covers the latest, Cannes-themed issue of Premiere magazine, and for everyone who’s ever rooted for the guy to shed his sparkly, vampire skin, this is a photoshoot to appreciate. (WARNING: One of the shots is fairly graphic in terms of violence, so I’ve placed it below the text of this story.) The Premiere feature gears itself towards promoting Cosmopolis. Since I’m one of those annoying people who reads books once they find out a movie adaptation is in the works, I’m going to go on record saying that I’ve got no idea how even David Cronenberg will deal with the book’s controversial ending or how well it will go over in theaters. Of course, the scenarios depicted within this photoshoot are not directly lifted from the book itself but carry the same surreal feel as the project as a whole. Like I’ve mentioned before, this movie is a huge break for Sparkles, but he seems to hold his own in the trailer. The fact that Cronenberg cast him as warped billionaire Eric Packer speaks volumes, and while I still don’t know how Rob will pull off his latest announced role as the soldier/interrogator who captured Saddam Hussein, it’s obvious that the guy is already benefiting from Cronenberg’s endorsement. In this Premiere story, Rob admits that he had a hard time believing Cronenberg really wanted him, and Rob doubted that he was good enough for the role. Now Rob says he has gained “balls” from the whole experience:
[From Us Weekly] I ran portions of the interview through Google Translate, and most of the text is actually Premiere talking to David Cronenberg. Interestingly enough, Cronenberg states his belief that Rob could go on to have a career like Johnny Depp. I think this sounds plausible but only “in reverse” — as in Johnny started out with amazing, cutting-edge projects but has largely devolved into a franchise robot. In contrast, Rob has been somewhat handicapped for his role as Edward Cullen yet has the potential to produce much more compelling work. It will be a struggle for Rob to ever be taken seriously by many people, but Cronenberg’s endorsement might speed up the process. It’s strange how I find myself rooting for Rob even though he really doesn’t need the acting work. In fact, he’s made so much money playing Edward that he could immediately retire, never work another day again, and still live a life of luxury. Does anyone else slightly fear that Rob’s newfound “balls” might eventually cause him to lose his self-deprecating edge and make him less fun during interviews? I hope that never happens because at this point, loving the RPattz is just so easy to do. UPDATE: Vulture has more quotes, including the following gem from Rob.
[From Vulture] The man has a point, and I think he’s made some great post-Twilight choices in roles. We’ll see what happens when this movie comes out! Photos courtesy of Premiere magazine |
Johnny Depp denies split with Vanessa Paradis: “The rumors are not true” Posted: 10 May 2012 08:50 AM PDT If you were Johnny Depp, arguably one of the richest, most beloved and most famous actors in the world, would you spend your time confirming or denying your relationship status to the UK tabloid The Sun? No disrespect to the Rupert Murdoch tabloid – I often read The Sun online and pick up stories – but I think less of any A-list celebrity who gives away their exclusive to a rag like The Sun. Allegedly, that's exactly what happened though. At last night's UK premiere of Dark Shadows, Johnny spoke to The Sun's red carpet reporter, and he answered the "Are you and Vanessa Paradis over?" question. Johnny's reply: "The rumors are not true. They are absolutely not true… No matter what I say about this, people believe the opposite. I can't say enough about it not being over." Now, just the sheer fact that it's from The Sun is enough to make my side-eye twitch. But People Magazine is running the story too, linking to The Sun's story. People Mag, as you may remember, was the publication that legitimized all of the other tabloid reports about Vanessa and Johnny's relationship trouble. People declared them "all but officially finished." So how does People Mag handle this?
[From People] I believe that Depp's publicist/manager gave People Mag the go-ahead nod on the January cover story about Depp and Paradis's split. I think Vanessa and Johnny were having huge problems, and they probably took a break, or a time-out, or maybe they just split for good. I think Johnny has been in the midst of a mid-life crisis – complete with other woman and lots of booze – for more than a year. I also think there's a strong possibility that Vanessa told Johnny to go and figure his sh-t out and come back to her. Maybe that's what we're seeing now – Johnny and Vanessa have worked out some kind of arrangement where they're "together" for their kids but both are exploring other relationships. Whatever. That's just how I read it. |
Peter Dinklage smolders on the cover of Rolling Stone Posted: 10 May 2012 08:36 AM PDT
Rolling Stone also features “Game of Thrones” star Peter Dinklage on the cover, and I believe it’s the first time they’ve had a little person on their cover. (It may be the first time a little person has been featured on any major magazine cover.) Somehow Dinklage looks sexier than usual here. This is a guy who just oozes confidence and charisma, and it shows even in still photos. I’m kind of awed by this image and hope it’s a high seller for RS. Dinklage has the honor of following President Obama on the cover of the magazine. This issue is out Friday, according to Pajiba. We don’t yet have any interview excerpts, and hopefully they’ll come out soon as I’m really looking forward to reading it. Sidenote (and mild spoiler for last week’s GOT): how sexy did Tyrion look smacking the hell out of little Prince Joffrey on “Game of Thrones” this week? I hope his character stays the smartest and most scheming, and that he keeps coming out the victor every week. We expect him to. I also root for the Starks, and maybe there’s some way for the Starks to win the war but for Tyrion to continue to have a place of power. Joffrey and his dimwit mom Queen Cersei can bite it. Header image via Pajiba. Dinklage is shown out alone in NY on 4-12-12, with his wife, Erica Schmidt, on 2-13-12, and with his baby daughter in a sling on 2-13-12. Photo credit: WENN and FameFlynet |
Lindsay Lohan’s crackface at the A&E upfronts: the worst it’s ever been? Posted: 10 May 2012 05:17 AM PDT It is WAY too early in the morning to be assaulted by these Lindsay Lohan photos, I know. I couldn't help it. If this is the crack-face I have to look at this morning, so do you. These are pics of the Cracken at the A&E upfronts last night. I'm guessing this was a "job" for her – maybe something to do with the Elizabeth Taylor movie for Lifetime? You know what I think is weird/funny/sad? Lindsay always pulls this stunt. She'll go along, gradually improving her "look" for a month or two, then she'll finally get a chance to walk a red carpet, and BAM! CRACKFACE. She did it at the AmFar gala a few months ago too. She looked like death warmed over during her Today Show interview back in March (when she claimed she was a "homebody"), and since then, she seemed like she was trying to look a bit more "cleaned up." So, is this her pattern? Is this how she gets attention? Every three months, she walks a red carpet and makes sure she's the most busted looking crackie there, so she can get all of the attention? Honestly, I don't think the Cracken even thinks that far ahead. And you know she's a delusional monster too, so she probably thinks she's looks awesome here. Just a few things I'd like to note: *Her slug lips look WORSE when she tries to close her mouth. *NEVER wear orange-coral lipstick when you have A) ginger hair, B) slug lips and C) a filthy crack face. *NEVER wear white-silver eye shadow. Ever. *Remember how everyone was like "Oh, thank God she went back to the ginge." Well, look at those ratty extensions! This just proves her hair can look just as awful when she's back to being a ginger. *She looks like a Marx brother with those chola brows. *Is the makeup on her forehead DARKER than the makeup on the lower part of her face? That's all I've got. CB wanted me to mention that there are some promotional images of LL on Glee floating around – you can see some here. I think next week's episode will be Lohan's appearance as a "judge". Allegedly, Glee cut her part down significantly when they realized how crackie she is, and they didn't want to have to deal with her six-hours-late dumbass. |
Tom Cruise goes shirtless & tattooed on the cover of W mag: hot or gross? Posted: 10 May 2012 04:40 AM PDT Honestly, I have dreamed of this moment for various (and completely professional) reasons, but I’m afraid that there is no appropriate reaction to the materialization of the above image. So let’s just talk about it in very casual terms. Tom Cruise covers the June issue of W magazine to promote his role as Stacee Jaxx in Rock of Ages, which we’ve already seen many glimpses of within its gloriously painful and truly awful trailers. In the past, I haven’t been terribly kind towards Tom’s portrayal of this washed-up rock star, but part of my own reaction is due to the fact that Tom appears to be trying much too hard. Stacee Jaxx is supposed to be a very ironic character, but it seems like Tom is taking the role much too seriously. Perhaps I’m misinterpreting things, so I’ll postpone final judgment on that note until after the film arrives in theaters. So how about this W magazine cover? Underneath all of that eyeliner, Tom’s eyes look incredibly dead (perhaps Xenu stole them). And those tattoos? There is a gun pointed at his wang. And those chicks? There are two blondes fawning over him. I don’t know if we’re supposed to believe this character is the real deal or if we’re supposed to laugh. As for the inevitable interview, there is only the barest (much like Tom’s chest) excerpt (so far) with which we can play:
[From W magazine] Oh that crazy Tom. He’s always pushing the artistic envelope and always so serious with the dancing and singing 10 hours per day to prepare for the role. But seriously, Tom is a 49-year-old man. If this were a woman, some people would call her pathetic for flaunting her body in such an unironic manner. So should we give Tom a free pass?

Beyonce on her post-baby body: “There are no secrets. Discipline.” Posted: 10 May 2012 04:35 AM PDT I still can't get over Beyonce's Givenchy gown at the Met Gala. It's been days and I'm still thinking about this hideousness. How did the House of Givenchy allow Beyonce to walk out with this dress? Did they send it to her, all "Girl, this dress will look AMAZING on you"? Or did Beyonce make the call? Was she all "THIS is the dress, y'all, these feathers are going to steal the damn show!" I tend to believe Bey made the call and the Givenchy people were secretly horrified. Although… they designed this crap, not Beyonce. They should be ashamed of themselves. Anyway, while Beyonce was on the Met Gala carpet, she only granted one interview, to Entertainment Tonight. In the piece, Beyonce confirms that she wants more kids (pillows?):
[From Us Weekly] I giggled when Beyonce said "there are no secrets" to how she got her body back after the baby. Girl, keep trying to convince us. I love that she keeps trying. And don't you love how the stories about her workouts keep changing? She says one thing to People Magazine, her trainer says another thing to Us Weekly, then Beyonce mentions to ET that she hasn't been working out that much… except for "dancing, eight hours, nine hours a day." Hahahaha. Wait, is she serious? |
John Travolta’s lawyers providing sketchy “evidence” to contradict the first masseur Posted: 10 May 2012 04:33 AM PDT I'm already pretty tired of this John Travolta scandal/lawsuit. Maybe it will get interesting in the weeks and months to come, but for now, at this moment, it just makes me really sad. I'm sad for John Travolta and his sad, sweaty, pathetic need to grope, harass and assault masseurs. I'm sad for the masseurs who were just trying to do their jobs, only to be physically abused by a powerful Hollywood type. I'm sad that the Church of Scientology can't simply let Travolta be who he is naturally. I'm sad for Travolta's lawyers, who seem to be releasing more and more "evidence" of Travolta's innocence, only to have said "evidence" blow up in their faces like a sweaty, pathetic Travolta-happy-ending. As I said before, I enjoy a good, gossipy "Travolta has gay spa sex" story. But those stories always involved Travolta doing things with consenting adults ("adults" = lithe, dark young men). The current round of stories are ASSAULTS. So, here are today's stories. As I mentioned yesterday, you really need to go to TMZ and look at the photos and receipts Travolta's lawyers have provided to "prove" that Travolta wasn't even in LA for the first masseur's assault. Travolta's lawyer, Marty Singer, says: "On the date when plaintiff claims John met him, John was not in California and it can be proved that he was on the East Coast. My client was in New York on January 15. We have flight and hotel records." Except… the only proof offered so far are the photos and the receipt, neither of which prove anything. The photos are absolutely ridiculous – they are the most awkward Photoshopped images I've seen in a while, and besides that, how do those photos "prove" Travolta was in NYC on the day in question? TMZ says Travolta's people claim the photos are time-stamped – which is basically like saying, "Because I said so." As for the Mr. Chow's receipt – it's unsigned. And it's dated for late in the evening. Which means that Travolta could have been in LA to assault the masseur in the morning, then flown to NYC for a meal later in the day. So the masseurs' lawyer, Okorie Okorocha fought back against Singer's claims and the "evidence" provided to TMZ: "The credit card receipt that Mr. Travolta says proves he was in New York City has a time stamp of 11:38 p.m., our complaint clearly says the assault occurred in the morning of January 16. This credit card receipt proves absolutely nothing, and it doesn’t account for the day of January 16. My client was sexually assaulted at 10 a.m. Travolta could make it to New York on horseback in that time.” Oh, and Travolta's lawyers are now saying that they have the flight records that Travolta flew to NYC the night before the alleged LA assault. Sure. So the first masseur – the first one to file a lawsuit – has issued a statement to Radar- it's a lengthy piece which you can read in it's entirety here. The basic gist:
[Via Radar] I don't really know what to make of that. Is he angling because he got the date wrong? Or is he just trying to be nice because he knows he has "proof" and he's about to take Travolta down? Incidentally – why haven't Travolta's lawyers started attacking the credibility of the second masseur's story? The second incident went down in Georgia, and there's more "proof" that John was in Atlanta when the second masseur says everything went down. The second victim also has copies of the emails he sent to his employers after Travolta allegedly assaulted him. And can I just say? I think the second dude should also sue the hotel/resort he works for – they were complicit in his assault. |
When Christina Aguilera gets mad: ‘the people in makeup act like a pit crew & rush in’ Posted: 10 May 2012 04:31 AM PDT
[From US Weekly] Some of you floated the theory that this whole thing was staged for ratings, but I think that it’s genuine. Aguilera is a narcissistic diva who takes things personally because it’s all about her, and Levine is a jerk who enjoys pushing her buttons. As for Aguilera’s issue with Levine’s contestant Tony Lucca, who was on The Mickey Mouse Club at the same time she was as a teen, one of their former co-stars told TMZ that XTina and the other young girls on the show were all “in love” with Tony, who was the “alpha male” on the show back then. So that might explain why she gave him such a hard time. A source tells Hollywood Life that XTina is so difficult on the set, that the crew “hates her.” Hollywood Life has a ton of stories on this, including some exclusive quotes from Lucca that make it seem like he’s their insider source. The crew has supposedly worked out a whole system for dealing with XTina when she gets in a tizzy during rehearsals. This description cracked me the hell up. “When things get heated — on and off set — the people in makeup have been told to go to Christina and work on her so she doesn't start complaining or yelling. If she starts carrying on and making a scene [with the other coaches], the people in makeup act like a pit crew and rush to her to keep her quiet.” This is just what we’ve been hearing from the tabloids, so I don’t doubt it. Their source also claims that they doubt XTina will be around next season. I’m not so sure that’s true, though, when her antics get so much attention. There are plenty more stories on Hollywood Life about XTina, and I won’t bother to recap them all. You can read them here. It’s all about how she’s a nasty piece of work on set. Lucca claims he won’t even get into the same elevator with her she’s so unbearable. As you probably already know, Christina not only wore a dress on the finale of The Voice that was so precariously low cut it looked like her boobs were about to pop out, she also wore what amounted to studded granny panties. Here are some photos of that, thanks to Hollywood Life. Some photos credit: NBC |
Halle Berry tells off paps: these people stalk a child’s school every day Posted: 10 May 2012 04:27 AM PDT
[From E! Online] You know I’m in no way a Halle Berry fan, but she has a right to bitch someone out whom she perceives as threatening her kid. The paparazzi scream all sorts of ridiculous things, to kids, to get their attention. They shouldn’t be allowed on school property. There’s a difference between photographing celebrities on Robertson Boulevard or out at the clubs and following them when they bring their kids to school. Especially if the paps are getting right up in little kids faces. This is Halle Berry we’re talking about, though. Maybe she just got mad at something and wanted to blow off steam.
