| Kim Kardashian bought Kanye a $750K Lamborghini for his 35th birthday: excessive? Posted: 10 Jun 2012 06:27 AM PDT Initially, I thought Kim Kardashian bought Kanye West a $750,000 Lamborghini just because. Like, "I love you and we're both excessive famewhore narcissists who can put a price tag on our relationship, here's a Lambo." But Kim actually gave Kanye a Lambo for his 35th birthday, which was Friday. Does the fact that it was a birthday present make it better? Or worse?
Eh. So she bought him a pricey car and he wasn't even in town to receive it. But she also flew to Dublin to spend his birthday with him. Which is… kind of nice? Like, I would almost deem that "sweet". Thought one of my biggest peeves is really rich celebrities giving other rich celebrities really excessive, expensive gifts, what are you going to do? Kanye and Kim don't pretend to be all about humanity and making a difference and charity. They're all about themselves and they're all about drowning themselves in luxury. One point for consistency. Also – there were wide reports a week ago that Kanye bought Kris Jenner a Bentley, in an attempt to "buy" the Kardashian-Jenner family's approval. SOLD! Photos courtesy of WENN.      |
| Lindsay Lohan crashed her Porsche on Friday, and it’s already a cracktastrophe Posted: 10 Jun 2012 05:29 AM PDT Lindsay Lohan totaled her car on Friday. I'm sure you've heard. When I saw the news, my first thought was "Of course she did." My second thought was "I'll be damned if I'm going to treat LL's latest cracktastrophe like breaking news." At first the story was relatively basic – Lindsay was driving her rented, black Porsche on the Pacific Coast Highway and something happened and she plowed into the back of an 18-wheeler. The Porsche is a goner and Lindsay and her assistant (who was traveling in the car with her) were both taken to the hospital, although neither LL nor her assistant were seriously injured, although the assistant went to the hospital in an ambulance. The (male) driver of the 18-wheeler was not seriously injured either. Anyway, you can see some photos from the crash here. Lindsay was already back at work just hours after the accident – she was actually on her way TO work when she hit the 18-wheeler. She's allowed to come into work at noon? That's when the accident took place. Still, TMZ dutifully reports that "Lindsay Lohan is so determined to prove she’s no longer a slacker — she’s hiding extensive injuries she sustained during her massive car wreck yesterday … just to keep shooting her new Liz Taylor movie." She apparently "refused" to allow producers to cancel for the day (once again, she was coming in at NOON), and Lindsay ordered the makeup people to simply cover up all of her bruises and she "refuses to let the crash become a distraction." But things got interesting quickly. TMZ's "law enforcement sources" claimed that LL and the truck driver were both sober at the time of the accident. Lindsay or someone close to her immediately ran to TMZ to claim that the truck driver was to blame for the accident because he cut her off. But the driver of the 18-wheeler has a completely different story. Of course.
James also tells TMZ that he did not cut her off, and that multiple witnesses saw her "flying" down the highway and besides all that, he was in the right lane when she hit him. So… was Lindsay on "something" when she hit this guy? Was she carrying? Did her people try to bribe the driver? Is this all her fault? Will the police do anything about it. Yes, yes, yes, yes and NO. Dumb, dangerous crackhead. I don't want to hear anymore about Lindsay "deserving" a "comeback" or anything about how she's NOT a crackhead. THIS is who she is. UPDATE: Latest crack denial from Team Lohan: not only did James cut her off, but her brakes failed too. Because of course. Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Tom Cruise & Justin Theroux both went solo to ‘Rock of Ages’ LA premiere: odd? Posted: 10 Jun 2012 05:15 AM PDT The Los Angeles premiere of Rock of Ages took place at Grauman’s Chinese theater on Friday night, which is a strange time to hold a premiere because it’s not a great time to maximize the resulting press coverage. Hence the fact that this post is arriving on Sunday instead of the morning after the fact, but there will likely be a New York premiere as well next week to look forward to as well. Tom Cruise walked the red carpet without wife Katie Holmes on his arm. Seems strange, right? Maybe she really is upset by his sexy W mag, implied beej photoshoot, or maybe they’re still at odds over her betrayal at his broken promises. Nahhh, let’s be perfectly frank and just assume that the Katiebot is lounging on a recharger somewhere, and she’ll probably surface (at the very least) for the NYC premiere. Because I refuse to believe that Katie isn’t required to support Tom for his big serious rock star moment. As for Tom, he’s freaking me out here as usual, but he seems pretty amped up in comparison to the recent MI4 promotional tour. To be perfectly honest, Tom’s smile on the red carpet looked really manic. While he wasn’t quite to the level of his full-on crazy 2005 self, he came pretty close. Tom also posed with Bret Michaels of Poison as well. I know Bret has already publicly taken credit for Tom’s take on the Stacee Jaxx character, but I think Tom’s Stacee is truly a hybrid of many different hair band rockers. Plus there’s that monkey (Hey Man) sidekick too. Justin Theroux was there all by his lonesome as well. While it’s true that he and Jennifer Aniston usually walk the red carpet separately, they usually at least attend each other’s events. That doesn’t seem to be the case any longer, for Justin didn’t accompany Jen to last week’s MTV Movie Awards where she (drunkenly?) accepted her “Dirtbag” award, and now she’s absent at the premiere for a big budget musical for which he wrote the screenplay. Strange. Anyway, Kaiser wanted me to mention that Justin’s “metrosexual, tweaked, tanned and plucked look has definitely been toned down” at this event in comparison to the Wanderlust premiere. Justin looks good here, and I like that thing he does with his eyebrows. Russell Brand was his usual weird self on the red carpet. I love that he always just dresses like himself regardless of the venue. Whether he’s testifying in front of Parliament or hitting the yoga studio, his look is always pure Rusty. Alec Baldwin was in attendance with Hilaria Thomas, who wore a really cool skirt. Gene Simmons did something strange to Eli Roth in front of the cameras. This tongue gesture means nothing, right? Just two nice Jewish boys spending Shabbat together. Or something like that. Diego Bonita: I know I’ve said this before … but I still don’t get it. Derek Hough and his very prominent bulge were also in attendance. For some reason, I find this guy pretty hot. Director Adam Shankman was there dressed in all white. He should count his blessings that Tom didn’t do to him what he did to Steven Spielberg on the red carpet. Ryan Seacrest was there to support girlfriend Julianne Hough! Or maybe he just went with Derek Hough. Whatever the case, if Ryan showed up, then Katie and Jennifer could have bothered as well. Slackers.

| Catherine Zeta-Jones v. Julianne Hough: who worked it at the ‘RoA’ premiere? Posted: 10 Jun 2012 05:00 AM PDT Catherine Zeta-Jones and Julianne Hough were both bold on the red carpet for the Rock of Ages Los Angeles premiere at Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Let me start out by saying (as a 37-year-old woman) that I highly sympathize with Catherine for having to pose alongside an early-20s, hot young thing. Despite the age difference, I am leaning towards claiming a (slight) win for Catherine here. Let us consider the differences. Julianne’s dress was a chartreuse Kaufmanfranco silk crepe gown that was cut on the bias. The color was an unconventional choice and appropriate for her first (real) big outing (Footloose doesn’t count). From the front, the dress looks pretty amazing, but something bizarre occurs when Julianne turns around for the requisite “behind” pose. The nude panelling seems to gather up and create the illusion of back fat, which Julianne simply does not possess. Also, are those pre-shadowed butt cheeks installed in the dress? Admittedly, the possibility fascinates me, and I’m wondering if this is a “Ryan Seacrest, tie this butt down with a ring” sort of strategy. Despite the cute butt (and all that it entails), the back view is kind of a disaster for a prospective leading lady. Julianne’s fresh makeup and hair was fairly appropirate and balanced out some of the mess of the dress. I love the unexpected, lopsided topknot.
In contrast, Catherine’s dress was a Zuhair Murad design and would probably be considered a cocktail dress, but the one-sleeve design (by its own volition) would ideally translate into a design that is bold without being too revealing. However, the black lace with nude underpanelling sort of screams, “Hey, look at me, boys!” Overall, Catherine has the chutzpah to pull this look off without looking too try-hard. But just barely. The closeup view of Catherine’s makeup is a bit iffy but only because she seems to look “different” these days but in an undefinable way. Malin Ackerman, on the other hand, was far too showoffy in her black Reem Acra gown with very significant cutouts on the left side. This is far too much skin to be showing off when one isn’t playing a leading lady role, but I think Malin’s general look is rather blah and forgettable, so perhaps she took a worthy risk here. Thoughts? Fergie and Josh Duhamel were weirder than usual together. I guess he dressed for the occasion, but she just looks like a trashy rock groupie, which is also admittedly appropriate here. Ashley Tisdale wore a short little cocktail dress to the event that will do nothing to shake her Disney-bred image. Perhaps she should try for a bit of glamour during her next movie premiere outing. Mary J. Blige wore a shiny black trash bag on the red carpet, but at least it was a fitted, asymmetrically-cut trash bag and not a baggy Angelina Jolie-styled trash bag. Debbie Gibson and her rockin’ bod wore a pretty cute red dress. She looks great, but I don’t ever think she’ll have a musical comeback.

| LeAnn Rimes’ casual LAX layered outfit: kinda cute or pretty fug? Posted: 10 Jun 2012 04:48 AM PDT These are some new photos of LeAnn Rimes at LAX on Saturday. So help me, I think this is the best she's looked in a while. She's gained a little bit of weight back, have you noticed? When I look at her, I no longer feel like I'm looking at two mismatched balloons sitting on top of bones and skin. LeAnn is super-proud of her body too – she loves the attention, good and bad. I suspect she's one of those women who thinks "You can never be thin enough" – so it's promising that she looks healthier these days. Can I just say? I've never understood this obsession/style-choice of being so covered up on top and so underdressed on the bottom. If it's hot outside, wear shorts and a t-shirt. If you think you might be chilly, bring a cardigan. I don't get the whole "I'll pair a booty skort (?) with a long-sleeved shirt, jacket and scarf – that will work!" And if you're response is "She was on a plane, those get chilly!" Then why the completely exposed legs? And what is her obsession with fugly shoes? Those things look like flesh-toned bandages. During this airport photo-op, LeAnn stopped and signed autographs. Bizarre – like LeAnn had some fans waiting for her to come off the plane so that they could get the autograph of their #1 Favorite? I wonder how much that cost. As I always do with LeAnn posts, I checked her Twitter to see if there was anything noteworthy/crazy she was talking about recently. That's where I found the most magnificent photo of LeAnn and a gator …. PERFECTION. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet.    |
| Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves had a hush-hush wedding in Texas last night Posted: 10 Jun 2012 04:32 AM PDT I wasn't expecting this so soon. People Magazine and Us Weekly are reporting that Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves had a secret ("secret") wedding last night in Texas. Camila and Matthew have been together for six years, and they have two children together – Levi (nearly 4 years old) and Vida, who is 2 and a half. Matthew is 42, Camila is 30 – I don't think I realized how young she is. It was just last week that I saw a new interview with Camila in which she claimed she wasn't even close to planning the wedding, but I guess that was just to throw everyone off the scent. The wedding seemed to be kept very low-key and the guests didn't even know they were coming to a wedding. People Magazine will have some of the wedding photos in next week's issue. Here's a bit more about the couple:
Although I'm a bit surprised with the timing, I'm not surprised Camila and Matthew made it down the aisle. I think most people already assumed they were married anyway, so this is just formalizing their relationship even more. And can I just say? I can remember a time when Matthew was one of the hottest guys around. Yes, children, I survived the 1990s, and there was a point in my life where I was attracted to Matthew McConaughey. Not so much anymore. But I still wish him well, and I think their wedding sounds really nice. Congrats to the happy couple! Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
