Uggie the Dog in a gold collar at his Grauman’s ceremony: try hard or adorable? Posted: 26 Jun 2012 09:17 AM PDT Here are some photos of Uggie the Dog (from The Artist) at his hand-and-foot ceremony at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Uggie is the very first canine to receive this honor, and I very much appreciate that his stylist didn’t put him in a too-short dress that would have been improper for squatting to do the requisite paw prints. Here’s a better look at that gorgeous gold collar on Uggie. It’s very dressy, and while it’s not quite as civilized as the black tie he wore for awards season, I think it’s just perfect for this occasion. This is all about Uggie, you know? As of this ceremony, he’s retiring from showbiz, and I’m tearing up (a little bit) just thinking about it:
[From The Telegraph] I hope that Uggie makes the most of his (relaxing) retirement, and he’s probably very serious about taking a load off instead of just threatening to leave and coming back a month later with a new movie or record album. Uggie doesn’t seem like the kind of diva who would “retire” just for attention, and sadly, he will also be sidelined by his mysterious shaking syndrome too. The good news is that his vet says “it is neurological and he is not suffering.” I’ll miss the little Uggster, but maybe he’ll pop into a Hollywood event from time to time. Here’s a few photos of Uggie and his pals. I’m pretty sure one of them functioned as his figurative Justin Theroux at the event. Photos courtes of WENN |
Rielle Hunter: “As of the end of last week John Edwards & I are no longer a couple” Posted: 26 Jun 2012 08:27 AM PDT Well, Rielle Hunter just confirmed something that we've been wondering about for a while. Rielle told Good Morning America today that she and "Johnny" (although she actually calls him "John" here) are done. As of LAST WEEK. Now…there have been plenty of rumors that John and Rielle were done several times over the past few years, and that they really only saw each other because of Quinn, their daughter. But Rielle now says that they were "together" all of this time, and that they just called it quits last week. She was on GMA this morning to do further promotion on her book, What Really Happened, which is just her crazy, delusional take on this situation, and her balls-out attack on a dead woman, Elizabeth Edwards. For whatever reason, GMA isn't offering an embeddable video for the interview (you can watch it here), so we'll just have to go with the text:
Words cannot even describe how I am STILL so pissed off at John Edwards for foisting this woman upon the national media. The man is a sleaze, obviously, but it really says something about him that this is the kind of woman he went for as a mistress/girlfriend. Anyway, I suspect that Rielle and John were done a long time ago, but kept it civil for their daughter. I also suspect that John has been screwing everyone and everything for years, and that there are probably several other "Rielles" out there, and maybe some other children. Ugh. |
Ann Curry wants $20 million to walk away from ‘Today’, NBC says no way Posted: 26 Jun 2012 07:55 AM PDT Back in April, Matt Lauer signed a new contract with the Today Show for more money than any of us will ever see. It was said at the time that one of Lauer's conditions for staying with NBC was that Today producers needed to fire his co-anchor, Ann Curry. Ann is pretty awful as a morning show anchor. She's a pretty awful interviewer and news-reader overall, but she seems truly overwhelmed by the anchor's chair. Plus, you get the feeling that Matt and Today producers blame Ann for their falling ratings too. Anyway, the "Ann Curry is about to get fired" story picked up more steam last week when Ann acknowledged the rumors publicly. Now TMZ reports that Ann and NBC are negotiating her departure – apparently, she wants a $20 million golden parachute to just walk away. For the love of God, Ann.
I mean… I understand the whole "using your parent company's desire to get you the hell off the air to make even more money" negotiation tactic. But at the end of the day, Ann should be grateful for any amount of money, because she's just that awful. As for the rumors of Savannah… I like Savannah. She's perky, she's quick, and maybe Matt Lauer has a thing for her. I'm surprised Lauer's very alleged rumored lover Natalie Morales isn't in the running for co-anchor too. Radar is still claiming that Hoda Kotb is the "frontrunner" for the gig… although I don't buy that at all. I think Lauer is pretty much choosing his co-anchor, and he's going with someone young and perky. |
Blake Lively in Zuhair Murad at the LA ‘Savages’ premiere: busted or beautiful? Posted: 26 Jun 2012 05:19 AM PDT Last night was the big LA premiere of Oliver Stone's Savages, which comes out in America on July 6 – not this Friday, but next. Almost all of the stars from the film were at the LA premiere. The one person who didn't show up: newlywed Aaron Johnson, who might be on his honeymoon and thus, had a good excuse for not coming to the premiere of one of his first big American films. CB has covered John Travolta's wiggy appearance on the red carpet, and I shall cover the rest of the photos. I think it's fair to say that Blake Lively was the big "star" of the red carpet. Salma Hayek didn't look all that great, and Blake really pulled out all of the stops. Blake wore this Zuhair Murad couture gown, which is like an optical illusion dress that looks poured onto her. You can say whatever you want about this girl's face (eh) and her "game" (eh): but you cannot deny that Blake has a KILLER figure. Look at her body in this gown. It's amazing. I would love to have her figure. And yes, I know her boobs are man-made. I would still love to have all of it. As for the dress – it's not my favorite thing that I've ever seen her wear, but hey, at least it's not Marchesa. And at least Blake isn't falling out of it. As for the overall styling… am I alone in thinking her makeup looks rough? The lipstick shade is too bright, the earrings don't really go with the dress, and her hair looks awful. The blonde looks over-processed, and I just feel like she's going for the "Glamour Barbie" look. Maybe I'm being too critical because I'm overwhelmed by jealousy for her figure, though. Or maybe Blake shouldn't brag constantly about styling herself because she really does NOT have an eye for it. Oh, and Ryan Reynolds was nowhere to be seen? I guess Blake had to do the premiere stuff as a single girl. |
John Travolta & Kelly Preston go overboard with the PDA at ‘Savages’ premiere Posted: 26 Jun 2012 05:04 AM PDT
A lot of us have been rooting for Travolta’s brainwashed wife, Kelly Preston, to finally snap out of it and get out of there. Instead of cutting and running while she has the chance Kelly looks like she’s circling her wagons. These two went on a trip to Hawaii a couple of weeks ago in which Kelly is said to have mused that “if John was with his family more… these kind of allegations wouldn't surface.” As if the problem is that John is away too much, making himself vulnerable to frivolous lawsuits. Whatever is going on, it looks like Kelly is still drinking the Kool Aid. John and Kelly were at the Savages premiere in L.A. last night hanging all over each other. John is in this movie at least, so he had a good reason to be there. This is definitely a calculated move. These two do support each other at premieres but rarely do they show so much PDA. I’ve wondered how Kelly could not know about John, but I’ve also mentioned how really spacey and out of it she sounded in this last interview I saw with her. This is a lady who is a cult member living very deep in denial. She has a very materially blessed life and the COS can do a lot of damage to her if they want to. It’s in her own best interest not to question much and to toe the line. E! reports that these two came at the very last minute to the premiere and that they didn’t do interviews at all. Of course they didn’t. Everything is fine, see? Everything except John’s hairline. Photo credit: Apega/WENN.com, FameFlynet, PCNPhotos and PRPhotos |
Bullied bus monitor Karen Klein on her huge windfall “I don’t feel like I deserve it” Posted: 26 Jun 2012 04:43 AM PDT
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Bullied bus monitor Karen Klein was on The Today Show yesterday to discuss the huge windfall she’s about to receive. Since the horrible video of children taunting and mocking Karen went viral, people have donated over $650,000 to her through the website indiegogo.com. The money will go directly to Karen and her family, and she admitted that she wasn’t sure what she did to deserve it. She does seem to have accepted that the money is coming, whereas before she was doubtful. Her plans involve investing some of it and helping out her family. Karen also talked about how her case has helped raise awareness of bullying. As for whether she forgives the boys, two of whom have written her letters of apology, Karen said that she eventually wants an explanation, but it sounds like she’s not ready to talk to them yet. (She previously told TMZ that she did not accept their apologies.) Here’s more:
[From Today] I agree with Karen that schools need to have classes to raise awareness of bullying. It’s important to educate kids about what bullying involves and how it affects others. This should be happening in every school nation wide. As for whether Karen “deserves” the money, does anyone in this type of situation? She kind of won a viral video lottery, fueled by a terrible episode she underwent. There are people who argue that she wasn’t doing her job, but really? She was being tormented by some incredibly mean kids. What was she supposed to do, get up and smack the crap out of them? I get the urge to do that just watching the video. She showed a ton of restraint, and if she would have yelled at them they would have put it on Facebook and acted like she had it coming. She did the right thing and the truth came out. If this helps more victims to speak out, and if it helps more people realize how their words affects others, then this episode happened for a reason. People are giving her money because they identify with what she went through and feel for her. I don’t see why people have a problem with that. |
Duchess Kate spent $45K on her wardrobe in six months: is that too much? Posted: 26 Jun 2012 04:35 AM PDT This story was mentioned yesterday, but I thought this issue deserved its own post. Yesterday, we discussed the Queen's recent move to make "blood princesses" higher up on the royal food chain than commoners-turned-royals, meaning that Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice now "out-rank" Duchess Kate. I think the first hint of that should have been the Queen's refusal to give Kate a "princess" title upon her marriage – Kate was simply made HRH the Duchess of Cambridge. She's not a princess – but she sort of is, because she married a prince. But whatever. She still has to curtsey to Bea and Eugenie now. Anyway, in The Mail story I used, they referenced another royal story about Kate – apparently, Prince Charles is funding her shopping exertions. Did you realize that? I didn't. I thought Kate was paying for her own clothes, and by that I mean "her parents are still funding Kate's extravagant lifestyle." Prince Charles began disclosing his (limited) tax information to the public, and he's going to make another public declaration on the state of his finances in the coming days. And Charles is going to reveal the cost of Kate's shopping sprees – she's spent roughly $45,000 on clothes. This year. And it's only June. Here's more:
I have to both defend Kate and slam her. I'll defend her first: she is expected to look good, she's expected to support British designers, she's expected to not take discounts, and she's expected to not traipse around in the same old frocks year after year. So, I get why Charles is paying for Kate's shopping sprees and why she needs so many new dresses and such. It IS part of her job as a working royal. Being a pretty and well-dressed princess/duchess is part of the fantasy, and talking about her style is part of the fun for all of us in the cheap seats. Now, my slam: Kate isn't a full-time working royal. She's already spent more than $40,000 on clothes in six months… and she barely averages one public appearance per week. Of course she doesn't need a full-time valet/dresser – she doesn't DO enough to need someone like that. Plus, it's pretty clear that despite all of the claims that Will and Kate are so "normal" and they go without staff, they are in reality very well-staffed, and Kate is already quite staff-dependent. Which is fine (if she was a full-time working royal, which she isn't) – she needs to surround herself with competent people, and she needs to delegate and manage her own affairs (she's 30 years old, for God's sake). It continues to bother me that the royal propagandists keep pushing this image of Kate, like we're supposed to be overcome by her frugality at not employing a full-time dresser when she sends her personal assistant out on a daily basis to pick up clothes using her father-in-law's credit card. PS… Who pays for her hair appointments? She gets a blowout every three days. That's a lot of money too, you know. |
Mila Kunis & Ashton Kutcher are not just hooking up, they’re full-on “dating” Posted: 26 Jun 2012 04:28 AM PDT Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are still a thing. It's been going on for at least two months, probably closer to three. Mila tried denying the "dating" story soon after it came out, back in April. But since then, she's managed to not answer any questions about Ashton either way. And they continue to see each other, and the tabloids keep reporting on their dates, and paparazzi still get the occasional photo of the two of them too. I think we just have to accept it – they're dating. This isn't "just hooking up" or "just friends with benefits" or something. They are romantically involved. More evidence:
At least they ordered wine. That means she’s not pregnant (hopefully) with a douche-baby. I wish people would stop using Mila's old quote about her "crush". Mila was, like, 14 years old when she started work on That 70s Show. She had a teenage crush. Stop using it against her now that she's an adult! This isn't some grand romance. This is Mila not dating up to her potential. I'm sorry, y'all. But Mila is a hot ticket and she could date someone really cool. Instead, she went from Macaulay Culkin to Justin Timberlake to… Ashton. Girl has a problem, and it smells like D'Ouchebag Por Homme. |
Salma Hayek in green Gucci at the LA ‘Savages’ premiere: why does she look awful? Posted: 26 Jun 2012 04:27 AM PDT Here are the rest of the photos from last night's LA premiere of Savages – we already covered John Travolta and Blake Lively. Let's start with Salma Hayek in green, beaded Gucci. Does anyone else think it's weird that Blake Lively did NOT wear Gucci and Salma did? Blake just got a contract to represent Gucci's latest perfume. So why is Salma in Gucci? I don't even know. I do like the dress, it's a beautiful color and a beautiful design. But Salma's hair and makeup are ROUGH. Salma is a gorgeous woman with beautiful skin and hair – why she chose to style herself to look so haggard is beyond me. If I had her hair, I would do something more with it besides pulling it straight back in a busted Croydon facelift. CB claims that Salma looked much better in motion, during her red carpet interviews. Maybe. Taylor Kitsch, another Savages star, looking incredibly boring. It's not his suit (although the suit doesn't help) – it's HIM. He's boring. Mary-Louise Parker was the premiere for no reason (other than she probably just wanted to see the movie). I love her so much. She looks like a demented fairy here. Helen Hunt in an LBD. She's not in the movie either. It's nice to see her out and about, though. Benicio del Toro looks like he's about to gut-punch someone. Why so angry? OMG Demian Bichir. So hot. I'm consistently unimpressed by his girlfriend, though. But… at least he always brings her to these events. That's nice. |
Jennifer Aniston shows off a new “ring” at LAX: did Justin Theroux propose? Posted: 26 Jun 2012 04:26 AM PDT Here are some new photos of Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston arriving at LAX after they finished up their European "summer vacation" (I'm assuming). JustJen were in Paris for a week (where Aniston drank Diet Coke and had a salad), then they went to Rome and Vatican City, where Aniston wore a minidress and the Pope still waved her through, because I hear he was a fan of Friends. I don't really know where Justin and Jennifer were this past week, though – I'm assuming they were still in Europe, somewhere, but we were no longer getting daily photo ops from the two of them. As for these photos – could Aniston look happier at being pap'd? Look at that sly smile. You know why she's smiling? Because she pulled the same thing that she pulled on Vince Vaughn years ago – she's showing off a "ring" in the hopes that we'll assume that Justin/Vince "proposed".
Isn't she just so clever? It's not like it's her go-to move or anything. Before I noticed the sly smile and the ring issue, I was actually going to theorize that Justin and Jennifer were looking at potential wedding locales, but now that I see Jennifer's Ring Game, I suspect that Justin hasn't yet proposed. And maybe he never will…? He never married Heidi Bivens, even after 14 years together. Maybe he's just not that into marriage. And maybe Jennifer is trying to push the issue with her Ring Game? |
