Jada Pinkett Smith: “I don’t eat for pleasure, I only eat for nourishment” Posted: 07 Jun 2012 08:24 AM PDT I've been looking at photos of Jada Pinkett Smith over the past few years, and I still don't really understand what's different. Like, my eyes know that something is different but I can't put my finger on it. Did she get cheek implants? Did she get that weird "ribbon lift" surgery that Madonna allegedly had several years ago? Or is this just weight loss, aging and some unfortunate hair styles? See? I still don't know. I do think weight loss is a factor, though – Jada's face used to be fuller and her body was more athletic as opposed to how it looks now – very slender. Jada has just given an interview to Essence where she talks about her eating habits… and now I feel sorry for her because she claims she's never learned how to get enjoyment from food.
Your food issues as a child do influence your food issues as an adult. I grew up in a very food-centric household, and I still feel the influences of that when I'm comfort-eating and stress-starving. The more stressed-out and anxious I am, the less I eat. The sadder I am, the more I eat. For Jada, I guess she never learned to enjoy food in any capacity? Is that what she's saying? She never had a junk food binge? She never sat down and just enjoyed the hell out of a five-course meal just for the sheer joy of great food? Or is all of this just her way of justifying her very thin figure? |
Britney Spears doesn’t understand why she’s still under a conservatorship Posted: 07 Jun 2012 07:47 AM PDT Over the past few weeks, many of us have been worried that Britney Spears might be in the midst of some kind of relapse due to the increasing stress of her X-Factor gig. Britney has repeatedly walked off the set, giving no clue as to why she needs a break or when she's coming back – which, as it turns out, is part of her contract. Britney's team managed to get the sweetest contract possible, and apparently Simon Cowell can't really say or do anything about Britney's constant walk-offs. In addition to that, people around Britney are talking about how "loopy" and "out of it" she seems. So… I don't know what to make of this story in Radar this morning. Allegedly, Britney is concerned about her conservatorship – the one where her father and her fiancé Jason Trawick have complete control over her personal and professional life. Britney wants out of the conservatorship, and she doesn't know why it still exists.
As I've said before, keeping Britney in this legal and professional limbo is a massive disaster waiting to happen. Jason Trawick and Jamie Spears want to protect Britney, and I can understand that. They want to monitor her and have safeguards in place in case she does have some kind of breakdown again. But if that's the case (and I believe it is), then why let her get engaged? Then why have her contractually obligated to do a high-stress job? Jason and Jamie want it both ways – they want to control Britney completely AND pretend that she's a completely capable woman in her personal life and professional life. Britney has every right to wonder why her conservatorship is still around, and I hope she has questions about her fiancé now having legal control over her. I have to wonder, though – did this just occur to Britney, or was she just told about it recently? Jason was named the co-conservator months ago! |
Leonardo DiCaprio in the ‘Django Unchained’ teaser trailer: too campy or just right? Posted: 07 Jun 2012 07:28 AM PDT Confession time, y’all: Quentin Tarantino is my favorite director in the entire universe, and I was very ashamed for doubting his judgment after the commercial failure of Grindhouse when he really pulled off Inglourious Basterds on a (near) masterful level. For quite awhile, I was really nervous about how Basterds would turn out, but once I saw that movie’s teaser trailer, all fears were immediately dispelled. So I was pretty pumped for the eventual arrival of a trailer for Django Unchained, but now I find myself somewhat deflated. The new teaser trailer for Django Unchained debuted last night even though the movie doesn’t come out until Christmas Day. First off, it seems way too early for a teaser trailer because — just last month — QT was still attempting to resolve some casting issues left by the void of Sacha Baron Cohen. Granted, Cohen was slated for a role that’s something of a cameo in the vein of Mike Myers’ part in Inglourious Basterds, but it still seems like a big rush to the trailer altar to get something (anything?) ready to play in front of the big summer movies. Promotion is everything these days where movies are concerned, but I just don’t know here. Indeed, this trailer seems like a rushed product, which would make sense because, according to Paste Magazine, this trailer is essentially “an edited version of the ten minutes of footage Tarantino premiered at Cannes” just a couple of weeks ago. Dare I say that the tragic loss of QT’s long-time editor, the amazing Sally Menke, has already had a signficant effect on QT’s output? Check out the trailer, and we’ll discuss below: For those unfamiliar with the plot of Django Unchained, Jamie Foxx plays the titular Django, who is a freed slave that discovers his wife (Kerry Washington) has been captured by slave owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). Django is aided by Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz, actually playing a sort-of-good guy for once), a German bounty hounter. The trailer’s declaration of “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of vengeance” certainly will satisfy many fans of QT’s style while allowing him to also make a mark upon the Western genre with a Southern twist. Honestly, I’m not sure whether I like this trailer or not, but I’m hoping that Tarantino will prove me wrong again. Part of the problem is that I’m not much of a DiCaprio fan and have always found his acting to be overrated. Here he’s mugging it up so much for the camera that it’s hard to take the entire trailer seriously, and I think QT has been a bit too obvious with his choice of music as well. Hopefully, the film’s further promotion will be more promising than this mess. Don’t break my heart, QT! Oh and … Christoph drinking a very important beverage at a very important table during an obviously important scene in the movie? Oh Tarantino, you so crazy. Photos courtesy of AllMoviePhoto |
Alex Skarsgard spotted out with Ellen Page: adorable new couple or just friends? Posted: 07 Jun 2012 07:22 AM PDT
All those women are blondes and Ellen is a brunette! She’s a tiny thing, though, and he seems to prefer that type. I have heard rumors that Ellen plays for the other team, which I’m inclined to believe. Maybe she just dresses like Kristin Stewart and doesn’t GAF. We’ve heard those rumors about Kristen too. The thing that makes these photos suspicious is that True Blood season five premieres this Sunday! I can’t wait! So these photos are coming out at a convenient time to get some publicity for Alex. Let’s see what’s up with Ellen’s career… oh she’s in an upcoming movie with Alex, The East, which is in post production right now. So they met on set and are probably just friends. Oh well. Update: Lainey has photos of the two watching the game, and they’re so cute together! I love the photos so much. They basically mirror each other’s body language the whole time. Here are some covers from the upcoming issue of EW, which has separate True Blood characters featured for a total of 11 covers. In some of these photos they really captured the campiness of this show. I love how it looks like they’re subtly poking fun. Ryan Kwanten’s photo makes him look a little dumb, just like his character, and Alex looks like a 70s vampire. I guess Tara isn’t dead yet. I’m actually excited for Christopher Meloni! |
Jim Carrey to Jenny McCarthy: “Evan’s privacy is not being considered” Posted: 07 Jun 2012 05:50 AM PDT
[From ABCNews.go.com] That was sweet what he said about loving Evan. We don’t know what happened between Jim and Jenny, but rumor has it that Jim was having mental health issues and Jenny called it quits because of that. She told Oprah that their relationship was no longer “fun,” and explained that “The first thing is, when it's not fun anymore, you need to start investigating and do an inquiry into the relationship.” So it sounds like she pulled the plug, but it’s hard to tell. So their split was complicated, and Jim probably didn’t want to confuse Evan by continuing to come around after Jenny rejected him. Plus, if he were still visiting Evan once every couple of weeks or once every month or so, wouldn’t Jenny complain about that? Wouldn’t it be potentially more damaging to the boy? It’s hard to tell. Again, this isn’t his biological son and he and Jenny weren’t married. Radar online has another take on this, one that many of you share. They quote a “source” who claims she’s doing it for attention of course. “She's got a new show to promote, seems a little too convienant that she's talking about this now. They've been broken up for over two years and sometimes it is hard to stay close to children after a breakup.” Jenny told Oprah in 2010 that her identity “wasn't caught up [in] being a celebrity's girlfriend” and called herself a “warrior mom.” Well she’s certainly able to bring up her ex celebrity boyfriend, and forget the best interests of her son, where publicity is concerned. Jenny McCarthy is shown out at the Grove on 5-31 and out with Evan on 4-29. Jim Carrey is shown out on 6-3-12 and 5-25-12. Credit: FameFlynet, PCNPhotos and WENN.com |
Jessica Simpson makes her first postpartum gym trip, 5 weeks after giving birth Posted: 07 Jun 2012 04:25 AM PDT WENN tagged these photos "Jessica Simpson is photographed in her car as she leaves her personal trainer’s house." Fame/Flynet tagged them: "New mom Jessica Simpson looks to drop her baby weight after working out at a gym in West Hollywood, CA." So, which is it? Is The Jessica Simpson Weight Conundrum so massive (so to speak) that Jessica can only work out in the privacy of her trainer's home, or is Farty McDonalds going to an actual gym? I have no idea. Whatever the deal is, I feel sorry for her. LOOK AT HER RACK. Her boobs are so big, I can feel her back pain from here. Little Maxwell Drew is, for sure, one well-fed baby. Speaking from experience, when your boobs are that big, you have to approach workouts in a completely different way. There is no way that I would ever workout with my t-ts hanging out like Jessica is doing here – I would just be so uncomfortable. But… I would imagine that doubling up on sports bras probably hurts your nursing boobs, right? Also: I eschew running, just because no one needs to see my DDs flopping around. I would imagine Jessica is the same – no running. Plus, she's still recovering from her C-section! Shouldn't she give her body a chance to rest for, say, six full weeks before exercising? Eight weeks? Of course, Jessica was already having sex just a few weeks after her C-section, so God knows. Maybe she's just a miraculous healer. Another reason to feel sorry for her: her multimillion dollar Weight Watchers deal is like a bounty on her head. I really think that Jessica regrets signing on to Weight Watchers, and I'm guessing that she's already looking for a way out. But Weight Watchers is going to hold her to it – and God knows what will happen if they don't see results quickly. Do you think Weight Watchers would actually sue Jessica for breach of contract if she doesn't lose weight? Poor Jessica. |
Liam Hemsworth actually put some time & thought into Miley’s engagement ring Posted: 07 Jun 2012 04:20 AM PDT So many of you had thoughts on Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's engagement! That surprised me. My prediction was that people would be mildly interested, but ultimately you wouldn't care that much. But so many of you had strong reactions to Miley getting engaged at the age of 19 (not to mention Liam is only 22). I complain a lot about age differences in couples, and I often think certain celebrities are "too young" to be doing whatever they're doing. But you have to admit – Miley is a very "old" 19. She's been living with Liam all this time – and even though you can mutter the word "Jonas" to me, I say that Liam is Miley's first proper boyfriend too. This is simply how some girls roll in general – didn't you know girls in college you met their "future husband" the first week of freshman orientation? And Miley has been working since she was a little girl – and she's been out on her own for several years now. I'm just saying – Miley getting engaged at 19 isn't the worst thing. Maybe it won't last, maybe it will. I think they'll probably last longer than people expect. Anyway, we have more information about the engagement, and most importantly, the RING. Liam approached Neil Lane to create the ring from scratch. Lane told People Magazine that Liam "wanted something unusual…Something really beautiful and romantic." This is what Liam got: It's a 3.5 carat, cushion-cut diamond set in 18-karat gold. The actual Did you know that Liam asked Miley's parents, The Mullet and Tish Finley-Cyrus, for permission to marry Miley? True story. Can you imagine going to see The Mullet to tell him that you're going to marry his daughter? A source tells Radar that Billy Ray and Tish "knew it was coming… Liam lived with Miley and her parents when they began dating in 2009. Billy Ray and Tish love him like a son. However, Billy Ray is concerned about how young they are and he hopes that they aren’t in a rush to get married. Billy Ray hopes the engagement will be very long, but he isn’t opposed to the marriage at all. Billy Ray got divorced from his first wife Cindy though and he just doesn’t want Miley to go through a similar heartbreak.” After People Mag announced the engagement, Miley tweeted this: “Thank you for all the love today I’m happy to share this news with you all. I feel like all my dreams are coming true. Have a great day." These are a few new photos of Liam Hemsworth in New Orleans, where he's filming Empire State. I didn't know he was a smoker! Hm. |
Lindsay Lohan’s ‘Liz & Dick’ coworkers think she looks exactly like Liz Taylor: really? Posted: 07 Jun 2012 04:15 AM PDT This is yet another "official" promotional image from The Most Important Television Movie of Our Time, The Crack Chronicles: The Making of 'Liz & Dick'. Seriously, I would rather watch the "making of" Liz & Dick than actually have to sit down and watch Lindsay crack-rasp her lines in between her horrid crack-pouting. But to hear the Lifetime people talk, this is the most magnificent production EVER. The rules for the Academy Awards are going to be re-written so The Cracken's performance as Elizabeth Taylor can be nominated.
"There was a moment when she saw her picture on the monitor and said 'I'm her.'" I think the makeup artist is misquoting The Cracken. Lindsay saw herself on the monitor and said, "Ew, gross, that's such a horrible shot of Liz! She looks like such a sketchy hooker." Why is this whole thing like a children's story gone awry? One of my favorite stories when I was a kid was "The Emperor's New Clothes". That's what this is – why is everyone even bothering to pretend that Lindsay is NOT a wildly offensive choice to play Elizabeth Taylor. Look at these photos – The Crackhead simply does not resemble Taylor in the slightest. Did you notice – my question about the jewelry reproduction was answered. Lifetime can't afford to even borrow any real gems, so everything is being recreated on a budget. And I bet Lindsay STILL crack-heists every single (faux) bauble. Do you believe Lindsay's waist is 23 inches? I don't. I'm not judging her size either way, I simply don't believe her waist is 23 inches. |
Ryan Gosling brought Eva Mendes to his mom’s college graduation in Canada Posted: 07 Jun 2012 04:14 AM PDT This is a fan photo (via Instagram) of Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes at the graduation ceremony of Brock University. I will get to that backstory in just a moment. First, I should point out that those photos we covered on Monday – the ones of Ryan and Eva at LAX together – were the beginning of their wild and crazy Canadian adventure. They've been in Canada all week. LaineyGossip had some of the details here – first they went to Montreal, then Toronto, and then to St. Catherines in Ontario, which is where Brock University is located. So why go to this seemingly random graduation? Ryan's mom graduated!!
[From St. Catherine's Standard] That would be me – I'd be one of those people too "stunned" to even move if I chanced upon one of my favorite male actors. I talk big about throwing myself at the likes of Michael Fassbender, but in reality, I would probably just stand very still, watching him like a hawk, not even daring to breathe. Anyway, it's nice that Ryan came to his mom's graduation. I have mixed feelings about Ryan making such a "thing" about it not being his day. Surely there could have been a happy-medium, like he could have given an interview to a local paper and still established that the day was all about the graduates? Because it's weird to think that Ryan really expected to NOT get fan-girl'd. Photos courtesy of Instagram, Fame/Flynet. |
Zoe Kravitz shows off her new choppy haircut at a Chanel event: lovely & adorable? Posted: 07 Jun 2012 04:13 AM PDT I don't have any hard and fast rules for ladies chopping off all of their hair. For some women, short, choppy haircuts are a great, sophisticated look, and with a new haircut, you suddenly see the women in a completely new (and better) way. But on some women, short haircuts are a total disaster. Really short hair tends to make me nervous, regardless of whether or not I think the cut suits the lady. Why nervous? Because I have sympathy pains for how difficult and awkward it will be for a woman to grow it out. Even in the age of weaves, lace-fronts, extensions and wigs, most women do tend to just stick it out the old-fashioned way and just grow out their real hair. And it gets awkward. Like, remember how everyone was crazy about Emma Watson's little pixie cut? And then she grew it out just a tad and suddenly she looked like Justin Bieber? That's what makes me nervous. Anyway, these are some new photos of Zoe Kravitz and her mom at last night's Chanel event, "The Little Black Jacket". Zoe was showing off her new haircut. Thoughts? Anything and everything is an improvement over her (honest to God) itty-bitty bangs trauma. I think she's been growing out her bangs over the past several months, and she decided to chop everything off and let it all grow out together. I have to admit… I think this suits her lovely face. It's cute and rock and roll, and it's also going to be a bitch to grow out. Zoe's boyfriend Penn Badgley was also at the event. I don't get what he's doing with his facial hair lately. More photos from the event – Crystal Renn finally dyeing her eyebrows back to a normal color, Linda Evangelista looking like a Botox-monster with Karl Lagerfeld, and Lily Collins still not realizing that she should be wearing dark, rich colors. |
