| Aaron Sorkin and Kristin Davis smooch on the red carpet: cute couple? Posted: 21 Jun 2012 08:55 AM PDT At last night’s premiere of HBO’s “The Newsroom,” a little bit of steam was present on the red carpet, and it wasn’t coming from hopeful suspect Olivia Munn. Instead, there was a hot new couple on the scene in the unlikely form of Aaron Sorkin and Kristen Davis. Okay, so “hot” is a relative term when it comes to Sorkin, but he’s an obviously intelligent man, which is an attractive trait in its own right. As for Kristen, I’ve always found to not only be impossibly pretty but also a very underrated actress. She went from playing a psychotic, obsessive freak in the original “Melrose Place” to playing goody-two-shoes Charlotte in “Sex and the City,” but she’s unfortunately been relegated to “mom in the background” types of roles ever since then. Anyway, she looks quite taken with Aaron and he with her. From Us Weekly’s take on the topic, it sounds like they’ve been attracted to each other for quite awhile and have just recently decided to take the plunge into dating in a very public way:
[From Us Weekly] Good for Kristen and Aaron. They have that look of smitten romance, and who knows? This could be something real. As for “The Newsroom” vamp-in-residence, Olivia Munn, she was there too and gorgeous in white but also looking pretty full of herself as well. Kaiser mentioned that Olivia was holding herself out as if “she’s arrived,” but I’d like to note that her name isn’t exactly top billing on that poster behind her. Still, this show is a great opportunity for Olivia to show her stuff, if she’s got it, and only time will tell on that note. Photos courtesy of WENN              |
| Jessica Simpson’s Weight Watchers goal: lose 50 pounds in five months? Posted: 21 Jun 2012 08:40 AM PDT On one side, I think Jessica Simpson totally brought all of the "baby weight" speculation on herself, and she has no one but herself to blame now that the "Jessica hates her postpartum body" stories are circulating like crazy. On the other side, I feel bad for poor Farty. My guess is that she just wants to sit at home with her baby and enjoy this time, but Weight Watchers is calling and she set herself up with all of these weight loss expectations, and it's all a huge problem. Anyway, Jessica tweeted this message today: Doesn't it sound like she wishes she was spending more time with the baby and less time at the gym? That's what it sounds like to me. So, back to the weight loss stuff – thus far, Jessica has been pretty good about making it to the gym a few times a week. She's vigilant about not being photographed in full-body shots, although a paparazzo did get some shots of her from behind, and everyone freaked out on Jess and started yelling at her. Now In Touch Weekly (via The Mail) has a mean story about Jessica's struggles to diet and lose weight:
Personally, I hope Jessica really didn't set up the "130 pounds" goal. I think that's asking for trouble for a lot of different reasons. For one, Jessica wasn't 130 pounds when she got pregnant – shouldn't Jessica's first goal be "getting back to the weight she was when she conceived"? And that wasn't 130. Two, losing 50 pounds in five months is completely unreasonable (I think) for a new mother. Her goal should be maintaining a healthy lifestyle, getting enough nutrients for breastfeeding, and working out when she can, but not at the expense of other things, like bonding with her child. It really feels like Weight Watchers is keeping poor Farty hostage. Besides all of that, as soon as Jessica stops breastfeeding, she's going to start drinking again. So all of the dieting and exercise in the world isn't going to keep the liquor weight off. Farty loves her Scotch. PS… Whenever I look at these photos of Jessica from behind, I hear AbFab’s Eddy saying “Thin ankles, darling, THIN ANKLES!” Photos courtesy of WENN, Fame/Flynet and Pacific Coast News.    |
| Rielle Hunter: “If you aren’t having sex with your partner, chances are someone else is” Posted: 21 Jun 2012 06:31 AM PDT
[From Radar Online and People Magazine] Well maybe John and Elizabeth had a “fractured relationship” because he was stepping out on her with a bunch of clueless twits like this one. Maybe Elizabeth didn’t want to have sex with John because she was suffering from stage four breast cancer. The selfishness of this woman just baffles me. The stuff about how Elizabeth watched the tapes from the campaign over and over is just cruel to reveal. (Plus I doubt it’s technically accurate, Elizabeth may have viewed it over and over, but I doubt she made it a screensaver. That incorrect detail just annoyed me.) Elizabeth has passed away from cancer, but her grown kids are still around, and they’re John’s kids too. They don’t need to have all these nasty reminders of how horribly their dad and his mistress treated their mom when she was at her sickest. I don’t think of Elizabeth as a victim because I remember seeing interviews with her and she was one tough defiant lady, but I also imagine what she was going through. I’m amazed that someone could be as entitled and defiant about cheating with a married man whose wife was dying of cancer. Yes it’s John’s fault just as much as Rielle’s, but doesn’t she realize how she’s coming across? I suppose anyone who would do such a thing would also be clueless enough to brag about it like it was no biggie. Oh and Rielle has new staged beach photos where she’s wearing a tankini and a smirk. Of course she did that. I just remembered – you know who this chick reminds me of? She’s like that serial mistress lady but more defensive, like Samantha Brick.    |
| Radar: Johnny Depp was “bored senseless” with Vanessa Paradis Posted: 21 Jun 2012 06:24 AM PDT Was I naïve to think that Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis's separation would be civil and not controversial in the least? Because that's what I thought. Yes, Johnny Depp seems to be in the midst of a full-blown mid-life crisis, and yes, there was a lot of money involved and all of that, but I thought that at the end of the day, the split would be handled with some dignity and class. Not so much, as it turns out. Johnny and Vanessa are getting the full Brangelina treatment in the tabloid press, to the point where I really have to wonder if there isn't a Team Depp camp and a Team Paradis camp leaking damaging information like crazy. First move: make Johnny sympathetic because he was slowly going out of his mind with bordeom because of Vanessa.
But! The British tabloids claim that things between Johnny and Amber Heard have been "heating up," and that Amber was ultimately "the other woman". One UK outlet even claims that Johnny "bought Amber a horse so they can ride together." ??? Lainey continues to say that Amber and Johnny are not boning because Amber is a full-on lesbian… although Amber herself doesn't self-identify as a lesbian (or as bisexual, or as straight). I tend to think Amber probably is bisexual, in that she's had sexual and romantic relationship with men and women, and will continue to do so. Basically, I'm not buying the "Amber is a lesbian, that's why she's not boning Johnny Depp" defense. They were in Las Vegas together several weeks ago, and she was photographed boarding his private plane. Sure, they could just be friends. But what if? As for the money question, which we discussed yesterday – I still don't know if Vanessa walked away with a settlement, if there is some nondisclosure contract, etc. Johnny is allegedly worth $300 million, although I think that figure is low-balling. According to The Sun and The Mail, "sources" claim that Johnny basically handed Vanessa half of his fortune (a reported $150 million) to "keep the split as amicable as possible for the sake of their children." Yeah… I don't believe that. Sure, I'll buy that Vanessa walked away with a really nice settlement, but I don't think she got half of his fortune. Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Halle Berry ordered to pay Gabriel Aubry $20k a month in child support Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:40 AM PDT
[From TMZ] I watched TMZ live to get a better understanding of this, and there’s no word as to whether this is retroactive, meaning whether Halle would have to pay $20k a month from the time of the split. Halle’s net worth is estimated at $70 million while Gabriel’s is a relatively “meager” (by that comparison) $4.5 million. A woman called in to TMZ live and kind of explained this whole thing well, including what it means for Halle’s plans. She said: “I don’t think it matters. It’s going to be setting her up for when the judge orders that [Halle] can take the child to France, as is her end game. Then they’ll fight over who has to pay for the visitation… it’s fine that she has to pay, it’s a numbers game: time spent with the child and income. “It’s going to make it so much easier for the judge to say ‘yes, you can move to France.’ Then they’ll argue about the flights… I just think it’s setting her up for the move.” TMZ’s Harvey Levin agreed and that was it. He should know, he’s a lawyer and his team has been getting updates straight from Halle’s people. She’ll grumble and pay the money but she still expects to get her way. Halle has got to pissed that she’s going to owe a ton of money in child support, but it’s not going to stop her. She’ll keep on going until she gets to France. And then her relationship with Olivier will probably fall apart. I’m just going on her past history with men, which isn’t good. In these photos Halle is shown carrying a collage that Nahla made for school. The Daily Mail explains what it is:        Halle is shown out alone on 6-19-12. She’s shown with Nahla on 5-16-12. Gabriel is shown alone on 6-20-12 and with Nahla on 3-22-12. Credit: WENN.com    |
| Keira Knightley gets her Russian tragedy on in the ‘Anna Karenina’ trailer: OMG! Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:05 AM PDT I read Anna Karenina years and years ago. I probably read it before I could actually understand the denseness of Leo Tolstoy's prose, and as such, I really only remember small fragments of the book. I should go back and re-read it, shouldn't I? I should. Anyway, after I read it, I somehow managed to avoid all of film and television adaptations, so when I go into to see this new version – directed by Joe Wright, adapted for the screen by Tom Stoppard – the story will be fresh and new to me. I actually think Joe Wright is a very talented director, one of the rare modern directors who can make a period costume drama feel contemporary and fresh. I loved his film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, which also starred Keira Knightley (and earned her an Oscar nomination). Wright and Knightley worked together again in Atonement, a film that I ended up hating. It's not really Keira's fault or Joe Wright's fault – I can't stand Ian McEwan's writing. The plots of his books are always asinine. Anyway, back to Anna Karenina. Keira and Joe Wright reunite for their third film together, and this time it's a doozy. Keira is Anna. Jude Law plays her husband. Aaron Johnson plays Vronsky, Anna's lover. The cast also includes Matthew Macfadyen (Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice!!), Kelly MacDonald, Emily Watson, Ruth Wilson, Olivia Williams and Michelle Dockery (from Downton Abbey!). Here's the trailer: Have I mentioned how much I love a good costume drama? I love a good costume drama. I wish Jane Austen had written more books so there could be more film adaptations of her books. I love watching a corseted Englishwoman, staring longingly at someone with unfortunate sideburns, all by candlelight. So… yes, I will be seeing this movie. I think everybody looks good and interesting. From what little I remember of the book, it was my belief that Anna's husband is much older than Jude Law's version…? I thought Alexei was supposed to be, like, 50-something? As for Aaron Johnson… well, I have high hopes for that one. He seems passionate and unhinged. Good boy. Photos courtesy of IMDB.    |
| Lindsay Lohan’s car accident was her fault for speeding, being too crackie to brake Posted: 21 Jun 2012 04:55 AM PDT Obviously, these are new photos of Lindsay Lohan in LA, filming Liz & Dick. She's "in character" can't you tell? She's in character because she has DARK HAIR. Just like Elizabeth Taylor!! Nothing else is like Elizabeth, though. And is it just me, or can you see Lindsay's crack-face in these blurry photos? Like, the first thing you see are her ridiculous lips (pursed into a smug little smile) and her huge cheeks. As for that fur coat… I hope it's fake. Real or fake, it's totally going home with Lindsay (if it hasn't already). She's probably already wiped out a chunk of the wardrobe department. Anyway, remember how Lindsay crashed her Porsche on the Pacific Coast Highway? Remember how she tried to pay off the other driver? Remember how she blamed the other driver, then she blamed the brakes, then she lied to the cops about being the one driving? Remember the mysterious pink bag and the water bottle full of vodka? Yeah. Radar's sources say that the investigation has led back to Lindsay being the source of everything to do with the accident:
"Cited by the Santa Monica Police Department" = A friendly pat on the firecrotch. EVERY law enforcement agency stopped giving a crap about Lindsay Lohan approximately two years ago. She can literally do anything she want with no legal consequences. I guess the state of California figures it's cheaper to simply ignore her and fail to prosecute her than actually hold this crackhead accountable for anything. Did you even notice – there were no skid marks? She was speeding and not paying a bit of attention and she was TOO CRACKED OUT to even hit the brakes. She's going to kill someone at some point.

| Jennifer Aniston allegedly offered an 8-figure deal to become the face of Aveeno Posted: 21 Jun 2012 04:35 AM PDT I'm not a big fan of Aveeno products. They just don't agree with my skin at all, although I know some people who swear by Aveeno, and God bless. I will say this – Aveeno has a good reputation, and they've branded themselves well. When I think of Aveeno, I think of clean-living, well-made, uncomplicated skin and hair care products. So who should be "the face" of such a brand? Someone with a reputation for clean living and an uncomplicated lifestyle? Perhaps. Page Six reports that Jennifer Aniston has been offered an eight-figure deal to represent Aveeno. Hm.
It's certainly an interesting development for Aniston, and I don't think it would get in the way of her other endorsement deals – she's one of the faces of SmartWater and…? Is that it? It's sort of surprising to me that she doesn't currently have any kind of beauty contract. No makeup deal? No hair care endorsement? She did have her perfume, Lolavie, which became "Aniston by Jennifer Aniston" or whatever. And I never heard of her perfume after the initial buzz. Anyway, sure – it sounds like a good deal, and Aveeno products would line up perfectly with how Aniston has "branded" herself. And an 8-figure deal would buy a lot of booze. In other Aniston news, the host of The Bachelorette wants Aniston. This is such a dumb story:
Yes, Jennifer and Justin are super-duper IN LURVE. It's "different"! Because it's always "different" whenever Jennifer gets a boyfriend. I believe JustJen are for real, but let's face it – she's the girl who cried (different) wolf. PS… LOL, I just noticed that Justin is carrying a Louis Vuitton bag. OMG HE'S TEAM JOLIE.

| Khloe Kardashian begins fertility treatments as Lamar looks to the LA Clippers Posted: 21 Jun 2012 04:33 AM PDT These are some new photos of Khloe Kardashian at last night's Life & Style "A Summer of Style" red carpet/event/thing. I like Khloe's dress. I hate that she's using a red Birkin with it, though. It seems tacky. Anyway, I haven't written about Khloe in a little while because, quite honestly, I was feeling sorry for her. Last week TMZ reported that Khloe and Lamar were beginning fertility treatments at the ART Reproductive Center in Beverly Hills, and I saw a lot of people making fun of her because of it. The girl has fertility issues, y'all. She's been trying to get pregnant for years, I'm glad she's finally being proactive about it, and I'm sorry if this ruins the Kardashian Hate-On, but I think Khloe's fertility issues should be off-limits for criticism. Just my take. In the meantime, Lamar Odom is still searching for some kind of career comeback since getting dumped by the Lakers last year. After a back-and-forth gig with the Dallas Mavericks – that ended up being a disaster – Radar reports that Lamar is now in talks to sign with the LA Clippers. Lamar REALLY wants to stay in LA:
I didn't know that there was a team called the "LA Clippers" but then again, I know nothing about sports. It's a step down, right? It feels like a step down. But! Many outlets claim that Lamar is looking pretty good for the US Olympic team – Hollywood Life's sources claim that Lamar is "in the best shape of his career" and that "the chances of him making the team are incredible right now… Not only because [of] the injuries that have plagued the potential selections, but because he actually is ready for it." I actually hope he makes the team. I think it would be a great morale boost for him. Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Angelina Jolie donates $100K to Syrian refugees, writes essay for World Refugee Day Posted: 21 Jun 2012 04:33 AM PDT I totally forgot that yesterday was World Refugee Day. Damn! And there I was, focusing solely on Angelina Jolie's "Maleficent: Texas Ranger" ensemble. The UNHCR already released Angelina's World Refugee Day PSA a week ago, and while she was working on her film in England, Angelina made sure to time two pieces of news for the significant day. One, she wrote a first person essay which was published on the UNHCR's website. Two, she donated $100,000 to the UNHCR's operations geared towards Syria and the unfolding humanitarian crisis there. Here's her essay:
It's basically her "state of the refugees" address as a special envoy for the UNHCR. She's listing facts, not opinions, and offering a generalization as to where the majority of people should be able to find common ground – that refugee crises occur when there's conflict, and dealing with the conflicts would be more productive than dealing with another refugee crisis. In addition to those good works, The HALO Trust announced a new initiative to bring "added transparency to humanitarian landmine clearance." You can now view landmine-affected areas on Google Earth, and the narration for the program is done by Angelina. Jolie is described as a "longtime HALO supporter" – she toured HALO’s headquarters last year, she’s toured landmine-affected areas and she funded a massive de-mining initiative in Cambodia too. You can read more about the new program here. Once again, here's Angelina's PSA: Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
