| John Mayer: Taylor Swift “humiliated me” with her ‘Dear John’ song about me Posted: 06 Jun 2012 09:01 AM PDT John Mayer is such a whiner. Unfortunately, he’s a very successful whiner whose latest album, Born and Raised, just hit #1 for the second week in a row on the U.S. Billboard charts. In response, I’d say, “C’mon, America,” but John also hit #1 in five other countries as well. Honestly, I just don’t get it, but I’m not paid to be a music critic, so I’ll let it go for now. At the moment, John’s rambling continues unabated, and his current topic de jour is how big meanie Taylor Swift bruised his ego by writing a song, “Dear John,” which is all about how he allegedly treated her poorly. John thinks it’s really out of line to write a song about an ex, which is interesting since his new record contains a song about his breakup with Jennifer Aniston. Never mind the double standard though, for this world revolves around John. Or so he thinks:
[From Rolling Stone] I find it interesting that John describes himself as being “pretty good at taking accountability now,” yet he’s the one who recently claimed to not even remember the Playboy interview where he talks about his David Duke c*ck at great length. Then again, he probably wasn’t really hurt by Taylor’s lyrics and was only really concerned about how the song might impact his ability to get laid in the future. Because ultimately, that’s what John is all about. He’ll even sing a page from 50 Shades of Grey in an effort to get laid. Now that’s dedication to one’s craft.

| Duchess Kate & Prince William are trying to get pregnant. Right now. Posted: 06 Jun 2012 08:56 AM PDT Did I expect Duchess Kate to get knocked up right after her wedding? Not really. I hoped she would, just because it would give her something to do, and it would give her an international storyline that we could all follow breathlessly. But I didn't really expect her to get knocked up right away. But I did think the announcement would come before Kate and William's first wedding anniversary, but it didn't. Instead, there were a slew of reports claiming that the royal couple was hellbent on waiting (Kate's specialty) and several royal sources claimed that Kate and William were merely focused on not pulling focus from the Queen during her Diamond Jubilee. One source even claimed that Kate and William would wait until 2013 to even start trying for a baby. Well, now that the Diamond Jubilee stuff is done and the royal family is preparing for some time off before the London Olympics (they open on July 27), perhaps it's time to re-evaluate the royal baby plans? Or they could just go on vacation again. Why not do both?!?
It's interesting to think that Kate and William might actually try to get pregnant now, and Kate would be in her first trimester during the Olympics… meaning she would have to do two things at once, "work" at a royal and gestate, at the same time. Imagining the enormity of that – in Kate's mind – makes me think that she'll be putting it off until after the Olympics. But sure, this is possible. I could see how Kate and William might be reviewing their baby plans now that the Jubilee stuff is over. Or maybe all of this is just the cover story because Harry and Kate made a very special ginger baby last night. Photos courtesy of WENN, Fame/Flynet.    |
| Lindsay Lohan got herself a cracked-out turban, just like Elizabeth Taylor Posted: 06 Jun 2012 08:18 AM PDT Another day, another post devoted to photos of Lindsay Lohan playing the most cracked-out version of Elizabeth Taylor ever. At least Lindsay's crack-boobs are covered up in these photos, although you can tell that she's hyper-aware of the paparazzi and she's trying to give them some poses. Quick question: does this entire Lifetime movie take place on a boat? Because they only seem to be filming scenes on this damn boat. I guess this pier is supposed to be standing in for Italy, London, Greece, and everywhere else Liz & Dick's romance took them. It's kind of sad. Let's talk about the costumes for this production. Yesterday, we saw that ill-fitting, unfortunate swimsuit, and now we're looking at some retro 1960s pieces, including what appears to be a silk scarf doubling as a turban. Now, I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth Taylor, and I've seen lots of photos of her from this time period. Her casual, everyday style was like this – mod shifts, Capri pants, easy little sandals, scarves-as-turbans. So, while some of the costumes might be technically correct, it's also about how a woman wears it. Elizabeth looked glamorous and chic every day during this time period. She didn't look like a bloated crackie who chain-smoked and tweaked every two seconds. Something just occurred to me – the production is going to have to replicate some of Elizabeth's most famous jewelry, aren't they? I hope to God they don't borrow any real pieces, because the crackhead will crack-heist them. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet and Pacific Coast News.    |
| Kelsey Grammer has a vow renewal a year after he married his 4th wife: weird or sweet? Posted: 06 Jun 2012 07:49 AM PDT
[From Radar Online] Well Kayte is his 3/4 life crisis, and Kelsey is still deep in that crisis. She’s what he’s clinging to, to the point of rejecting Camille entirely. Kayte’s got to be his everything or he gave up his longterm marriage and family life (as atypical as it was with their immense wealth) for nothing. He’s justifying himself, and making this golddigger into a martyr. Once Kayte finally has those twins, are these two going to do a photospread in People? Is Kelsey going to be talking about how his life began with Kayte and their twins as if his three other wives and four other kids don’t matter as much? That’s what I’m reading into his comments now. Also, I get the impression that couples do vow renewal ceremonies when they’ve gone through a rough patch, not when they’re madly in love.

| Drew Barrymore’s wedding photos take two People Mag covers: lovely? Posted: 06 Jun 2012 07:36 AM PDT As we discussed over the weekend, Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman just got married on Drew's Montecito property, and they sold their exclusive wedding photos to People Magazine. I mean, I'm assuming it's "sold" and not "given". Although Drew doesn't need the money and Will's family is rich (he's like the American Ned RockNRoll), I suspect there was a sale and it was more about exclusivity than profit. People Mag did two covers for Drew – one solo, and one with her new husband touching her baby bump. Any thoughts on what we can see of Drew's Chanel maternity wedding gown? It's… um… conservative. I'm assuming the wedding service was traditional Jewish (a rabbi performed the marriage), which traditionally means the bride should be more "covered up" than, say, a Baptist wedding. I don't have an issue with Drew being covered up. I do have an issue with that funky collar though.
Kopelman "just wanted a backyard wedding." Hm. He comes from money, he knocked her up and maybe his family pushed him into marrying her and she converted – and after all of that, he just wanted a backyard wedding? I don't know. I'm not raising the "Code Red: Drew Picked Another Loser" alert yet, but I do have my doubts as to whether this will be a good match in the long run. We'll see. I do enjoy the bridal whitewashing of Drew, though. Like this is her first marriage. Or her second.

| Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth are engaged, Miley confirms to People Mag Posted: 06 Jun 2012 07:03 AM PDT Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are engaged, y'all. Miley confirmed the news to People Magazine, and it seems like she also gave People some exclusive photos of her engagement ring too. Miley and Liam have been together for the better part of three years – they got together in the summer of 2009, and they split up a few times for a few months back in 2010-ish. But Miley and Liam always got back together after those early breakups, and word around the gossip mill was that Liam wanted Miley to live a less famewhore-extravaganza lifestyle. Miley did end up taking a step back from her celebrity life, and she and Liam have been living together for more than a year. And now they're engaged…?
Yeah, Liam's career is really picking up nowadays. When Liam and Miley first got together, she was the breadwinner and the "star" but with The Hunger Games and "the rise of the Hemsworth boys," Liam is definitely going to get more work. Will Miley be okay with playing second fiddle to an emerging Hollywood heartthrob? I kind of think she might be okay with it. Especially if she starts having babies. Back in March, Miley tweeted a photo of her hand, supposedly showing off her manicure, but she really seemed to be showing off a diamond ring. I don't know if this is her engagement ring or not, I just thought I'd put it up: Photos courtesy of WENN, Fame/Flynet and Miley's Twitter.    |
| Duchess Kate & Prince Harry seem especially close these days. Just sayin’. Posted: 06 Jun 2012 04:25 AM PDT As I was covering some of the royal family photos from the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations (here and here), I kept noticing something weird… Prince Harry and Duchess Kate are TIGHT. Their body language is much, much friendlier and sweeter than her body language with Prince William, her husband. Now, I'm not saying that Duchess Kate is going to get pregnant with a little ginger heir (wait… I already said that more than a year ago), but I do think that it says *something* about Kate. And Harry. And William. I asked my Twitter buddy Prince Harry Watch if they thought something was up, and I got shut down – Prince Harry Watch says, "Harry’s a very affectionate person & despite what some people say, I think he does like his sister-in-law." I agree to a certain extent – Harry seems like the kind of man who gets along with everyone, and… well, let's face it: if there's a pretty girl around, Harry is going to make jokes and try to impress her, regardless if the "pretty girl" is his sister-in-law. But I find it especially interesting given the dichotomy of Prince William's mostly sober, at times morose disinterest in his wife as compared to Harry and Kate's affectionate relationship. You can see even more photos of Kate and Harry here. They look really nice together. So… will the next heir be a ginger? Can you imagine the scandal? No, Kate would never. Would she?

| Rihanna goes off on Esquire UK journo who grills her about Chris Brown: justified? Posted: 06 Jun 2012 04:20 AM PDT Last week, we reported on Rihanna’s new cover for the July issue of Esquire as well as some scant interview excerpts where she said some ridiculous stuff about how she’s learned to ignore all the attention that comes with (I guess) posting one’s entire life to Twitter and Facebook. Now the full interview has hit newsstands, and it’s a relative doozy. To recap, Esquire’s developing quite a reputation for writing really rude and bitchy profiles about their cover celebrities. Most recently, Tom Chiarella focused unnecessarily upon Bruce Willis’ bathroom and pear-eating habits. He’s also the same journo who stomped all over Matthew McConaughey's weekend hospitality tour last year. Then there’s Lisa Taddeo, who attempted to foist her ex-boyfriend’s characteristics onto Bradley Cooper. Essentially, there’s been a fair amount of unprofessionalism and an apparent lack of preparation involved in a lot of these interviews, and it seems that Esquire’s newfound habits have spread across the pond as well. Now Esquire UK’s Johnny Davis has tried to pull a fast one on Rihanna by grilling her about Chris Brown. At first, I can understand the point he’s trying to make, but he really gets carried away here, and it’s easy to see why Rihanna would get angry at being repeatedly cornered during the interview. Here’s the relevant text, which goes on at length, but I’m including so much of it to illustrate just how far this journo goes:
[From Esquire UK] Look, I know that Rihanna is a bit of a brat most of the time, and this fact is evident by those who haven’t even heard any of her music but have merely glimpsed her Twitter stream. I also think it was a very stupid move for her to record music with Chris Brown — not only because Rihanna was placing herself that much closer to actually getting back with him (relationshipwise) but also because it sends a very bad message to her young (and not-so-young), impressionable fans. However, this journalist didn’t know how to stop asking the same questions when Rihanna had already made it very clear that she wouldn’t discuss them any further. It’s like Esquire and Esquire UK have been instructing their journos to deliberately irritate the living hell out of most of the celebrities that they profile over the past few years, and the final interviews have often been so twisted that the journos end up looking like douches themselves. Obviously, critical journalism has its place, but Esquire’s interview method of late has been rather counterproductive. Incidentally, here’s Rihanna on the set of the new Seth Rogen movie, The End of the World, which also features Paul Rudd, James Franco, and Emma Watson. Rihanna plays herself in the movie, so there’s no danger of her showing off her (nonexistent?) acting skills. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet, RihannaLounge.com, and Esquire UK            |
| Amanda Bynes tweets Pres. Obama: “Please fire the cop who arrested me.” Posted: 06 Jun 2012 04:19 AM PDT After spending the last two months in an endless cycle of booze, car accidents, arrests and would-be, should-be arrests, Amanda Bynes has issued a statement about her tendency to drink-and-drive, and about her DUI charge. That statement was made via her Twitter: YES. She tweeted President Obama and asked him nicely, "Please fire the cop who arrested me." ARE YOU JOKING? I hope to hell she was high and drunk when she tweeted that, because if she was stone-cold sober, I'll have to think that she's a flat-out moron. Besides all that, her denial of "I don't drink" and "I also don't hit and run" is bulls–t. Does she think people will believe her over the mounting evidence that she hits-and-runs on a now weekly basis? Anyway, Amanda seems to have tweeted this nonsense in direct response to a misdemeanor charge being filed against her officially. This misdemeanor DUI charge is related to her original arrest on April 6 – where she (drunkenly) SMASHED INTO A COP CAR. Upon her arrest, she refused to complete a Breathalyzer, so I guess Amanda's justification for her consistently horrible driving in the wee hours (after she's been clubbing and bar-hopping) is that she's simply a horrible driver. If she's convicted (I hope), she'll face 48 hours in jail, three years probation and a nine-month alcohol program. And that's basically it. Because California is soft on drunk drivers.

| Jenny McCarthy complains that her ex Jim Carrey never visits her autistic son Posted: 06 Jun 2012 04:18 AM PDT
Jenny’s son formed quite a bond with her then-boyfriend, Jim Carrey, whom she dated from about 2005 to 2010. Jim was around for Evan’s formative years, and Jenny called him “the autism whisperer,” saying in 2007 that Jim had “helped Evan get past some obstacles I couldn’t. He speaks a language Evan understands, and Evan feels safe with him.” According to Jenny, Evan still asks about Jim all the time and she’s upset that Jim hasn’t reached out to Evan in the years since their breakup. She admits that she hasn’t personally contacted Jim to tell him this, although she says she’s gone through “channels” to reach him. Here’s more:
[From US Weekly] I feel like this isn’t fair to her son for Jenny to put this out there. Yes it’s sad that Jim hasn’t contacted him, but it sounds like Jenny has only barely tried to contact Jim in a roundabout way and hasn’t told him directly what’s going on. It’s not right to make a public statement that her son misses her ex and is in therapy because of it. Jenny never had much of a filter though. She told Oprah that she broke up with Jim Carrey because “it wasn’t fun anymore.” Reports at the time claimed that Jim was in a deep depression, having gone off his medication for bipolar disorder. There were rumors that Jim had given Jenny a whopping $25 million in trust for Evan after their breakup, although those originated in Star Magazine and it’s hard to know whether they were true. She’s moved on now, but it’s sad that her kid still misses Jim and asks about him. I don’t get the sense that Jim would ignore Evan, but I have no idea.         Jenny and Jim are shown in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Credit: WENN.com and FameFlynet    |
