Suri Cruise and Katie Holmes go to gymnastics, narrowly escape a fender bender Posted: 17 Jul 2012 09:04 AM PDT The gossip buzz surrounding the Katie Holmes-Tom Cruise divorce has cooled over the past few days, although I suspect that we’ll be hearing some new (or possibly recycled and reframed) details from the tabloids later this week. In the meantime, here are some new photos (from last night) of Katie taking Suri to her Chelsea Piers gymnastics class. After the class, their car (driven by Katie’s new security detail) was involved in a slight fender bender, which sounds scary enough; but it least it wasn’t a CO$ conspiracy — just an errant recycling truck. In NYC, that stuff happens on a regular basis, and I’m just surprised that it doesn’t happen more often since people there drive like hell. At Suri’s gymnastics lessons, however, all was well with Suri throwing herself into the routine, which appeared to include some self-defense moves as well. She also flew through the air with the instructor’s assistance and was generally having a great time. These photos are so cute: Otherwise, I am awaiting the glorious Tom Cruise photo ops of his “reunion” with Suri after wrapping up filming on Oblivion. I find the whole lead-up process to that moment sort of ridiculous, and it’s not because I think that children shouldn’t see their fathers (because barring dangerous circumstances, they should). Rather, I don’t really know that Suri (at this stage, anyway) has realized what’s going on between her parents. She’s already used to Tom being away for months at a time, so how is the current situation really that much different than usual where Tom is concerned? Suri’s clearly been having the time of her life doing normal things. Tom will have to step up his game in that department, and you know he’ll try to top Katie (probably by getting her a puppy, unlike mean old mommy), but Tom will never be able to top Katie in the normalacy department. Like, Tom is physically incapable of being “normal.” In other slightly rude news, the Mail recently made a huge deal about how Tom visited the bathroom 3 times in 20 minutes on the Oblivion set. So basically, this news cycle may just run its course sooner rather than later. Still, the tabloids are hopeful that they’ll be able to continue cashing in on the divorce because they’ve made a ton of money so far from the split:
[From Huff Po] Isn’t it bizarre how someone as inconsequential as Kate Gosselin actually covered seven consecutive issues of a magazine? Now nobody pays attention to her at all, but at one point, many people cared enough to pay to read her stories week after week. These days, it’s all about Katie and Tom, and millions of readers certainly want to know the sordid details of what went down in their marriage. Yet with a supposed iron-clad settlement deal taking place so early in the divorce process, I have to wonder how the tabloids will keep cranking out so many stories unless they just start making sh-t up. Not that they’re strangers to the process, mind you. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet and Pacific Coast News |
Anne Hathaway might be pregnant, allegedly: does she look like it at all? Posted: 17 Jul 2012 08:28 AM PDT I completely missed this story over the weekend, so for that, I apologize. Apparently, several media outlets (like, all of them) are trying to claim that Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman are expecting their first child. The evidence is pretty thin – Radar has photos of Adam and Anne "celebrating" with their parents over dinner in NYC over the weekend. Radar has an eyewitness who claimed:
Now, look at these photos of Anne at last night's TDKR premiere again. I didn't say anything about a Bump Watch because it literally did NOT occur to me when I glanced through the photos. If anything, I thought to myself, "God, she really did lose a lot of weight for 'Les Mis'." She looks so slim to me – and her boobs look kind of deflated from the weight loss too. My take: those don't look like early-pregnancy boobs, nor does Anne's face look in any way "filled out" from pregnancy. I know not all women are the same, etc, etc, but usually Bump Watch is more obvious. Of course, there are signs that I could be wrong and Anne actually is knocked up. For one, Anne didn't deny the reports while on the red carpet. Two, she wore an awful dress with a possible bump-concealing peplum. Three, Annie wants an Oscar and maybe she thinks "The Natalie Portman Method" to Oscar campaigning would really work out. That's the big one, by the way – I like Anne a lot, but I'll admit that I wouldn't put it past her to calculate a pregnancy to help along with an Oscar campaign. So… the chances she's actually knocked up are (by my estimation) 50-50. |
Mom who smokes pot daily calls out drunk moms: fair or no different? Posted: 17 Jul 2012 08:21 AM PDT
Yesterday, The Today Show’s blog ran a related story from a 40-something mom to 8 and 6 year-old boys who admitted to smoking pot daily to cope with stress. This mom, who only goes by “Margaret,” went on to call moms who drink too much “pathetic.” It was controversial to say the least, and I really didn’t see how this lady is better or different than moms who drink too much. Here’s part of Today’s story, with more at the source:
[From The Today Show] What about being sober around your kid(s)? What about striving to be a good mom by coping with negative feelings instead of blotting them out? Kids who are in grade school totally know when their parents are drunk or high. Kids who are younger than that depend on their parents for basic needs and are getting shafted when their caregivers aren’t all there. I’m not saying that it’s not fine to knock back a few or toke up as a parent, but not every weeknight at the “stressful time” as this mom claims. I do believe that smoking pot is no worse, or better, than drinking. I’m for decriminalization. Different strokes, but why get high all the time and set that example? It’s a slippery slope argument to say “it’s better than the drunk moms.” Maybe it is by some very low standards, but why not focus on your own family and dealing with your own issues without getting blotto? Also, I agree that there’s a huge problem with prescription drug abuse. But again it’s all drugs. Kids need moms who are there for them. This crap should be “recreational,” not daily.

Jennifer Lopez wants to marry Casper Smart: “The biggest dream is the fairy tale” Posted: 17 Jul 2012 07:54 AM PDT I can still remember when Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck did an exclusive joint interview with Dateline in 2003. The interview was easily one of the greatest moments of pop culture/celebrity news of the past twenty years – Jennifer talking over Ben, Ben looking like he was in over his head, both of them answering questions about their life together. It was amazing. I always think that the Dateline special set the standard for "celebrity couples doing awkward joint interviews" and I always think THAT is the reason so few celebrity couples do joint interviews. Anyway, Jennifer has her new budget boyfriend Casper Smart. And she's got to promote her tour! So she did an interview with Good Morning America – and it turned into an interview with Casper! Because Casper = Ben Affleck!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately, Jennifer and Casper didn't sit down together to talk about their love. No, Casper was interviewed solo about what it's like to be "chief choreographer" of the tour. Oh, J.Lo. You can see the video here and here are some highlights:
So, basically, Jennifer Lopez is really hoping for a proposal from Casper and HE'S MAKING HER WAIT. Because why not? It's obvious that J.Lo will totally marry him and it's obvious that it will happen eventually. So… it's kind of funny that Casper hasn't proposed yet. Maybe J.Lo hasn't given him the money to buy a ring yet? Of course not – he's making his OWN money! He's her Chief Choreographer. And she bought him a reality show too. *sigh* J.Lo is such a fool for love. It's endearing for a while, but at some point it's just… I want to shake her and do a "love" intervention. |
Demi Lovato on cutting: “I felt so anxious, almost like I was crawling out of my skin” Posted: 17 Jul 2012 07:08 AM PDT Demi Lovato covers the August issue of Self magazine, and she is (of course) still talking about her rehab stint for “emotional and physical issues” that were also related to an eating disorder. Over the past year or so, Demi has also dropped several hints of her self-harm disorder as well, but she’s never really spoken about why she cut herself. Now she’s opening up a bit more thanks to some questions straight from Self readers. Here are some excerpts:
[From Self] Demi seems like she’s truly developing a base sense of self after feeling so completely lost a few years ago. The girl has embraced therapy and is learning to live with her bipolar diagnosis as well. I also really like what she has to say about beauty, but I wish I could believe it — because I don’t think she’s telling the truth there. If Demi truly felt comfortable with her physical looks, then why does she look so abruptly blonde and different in this Self pictorial? Photos courtesy of Self |
Scientology tried to recruit Brad Pitt, he wasn’t having it & broke up with Juliette Lewis Posted: 17 Jul 2012 06:23 AM PDT
[From Business Insider] The site “Truth about Scientology,” which compiles information from Scientology’s official magazines, has Pitt listed as completing two courses in Scientology in the years Scobee mentioned. Given the time frame, he was probably high as a kite at the time. Good for him for getting out while he could. I found this article I wrote in 2006 and totally forgot about. It’s about Tom Cruise making a weak ass attempt to recruit Angelina Jolie into Scientology by asking her to come by their headquarters and pick up an “award.” Cult expert Rick Ross also mentioned that Brad Pitt dumped Juliette Lewis over Scientology, so I guess this news has been out there for a while. I finally watched the BBC Panorama documentary on Scientology from 2007 that so many of you have been mentioning in the threads. (It’s available in four parts on YouTube.) I remember hearing that Juliette Lewis was interviewed in it, but when I watched it the segment with the famous Scientologists, including Kirstie Alley, Ann Archer, Leah Remini and Juliette Lewis, had no actual statements from the actresses due to legal threats from Scientology. All we saw were the facial reactions from the women. (That’s at about 4:00 into this video.) Part of Juliette’s interview did make it online eventually. BBC later released deleted scenes from the Panorama series, in which journalist John Sweeney asked about Scientology being a cult. (Juliette’s segment is at at 4:30 in the video linked here.) She handled it way better than the others. Juliette laughed about whether Scientology was a cult and said “Some people also say that women are really stupid and shouldn’t vote.” Both Leah Remini and Kirstie Alley pulled the bigotry card, with Alley and Anne Archer getting particularly worked up. As for the Panorama documentary, I’ve heard about it for a while and put off watching it until now. It’s a worthwhile expose, but there was so much yelling, stalking, intimidation and creepiness that it was hard to watch. Here are some highlights I found: Sean Lonsdale, a videographer attempting to expose Scientology, is shown at the beginning of this video. He gets confronted by Tommy Davis with details of his criminal history (which was also posted on fliers around town in an attempt to intimidate him). Lonsdale ended up “committing suicide” under suspicious circumstances in 2008. Tommy Davis goes off again at :30 Scientologist blame psychiatry for the Holocaust at 3:40. After that Sweeney goes off on Tommy Davis. There’s some chatter that Tommy Davis has not been seen in public in some time. I could not confirm that, but he’s been replaced as cult spokesperson by a woman named Karin Pouw. Here’s Juliette and her new boyfriend, Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, at an event on 5-27-12.

Joseph Gordon Levitt covers GQ, also claims that “Most pretty girls aren’t funny” Posted: 17 Jul 2012 06:16 AM PDT First of all, I have to applaud GQ for using a really great photo of Joseph Gordon Levitt for their cover – this is one of the best, one of the sexiest photos I've ever seen of JGL. At times he can photograph as "too cute" and I feel like a predator for being attracted to him. But in this GQ photo shoot, he actually looks like a boyishly handsome MAN. A man who is perfectly capable of doing dirty things. Anyway, you can read the full GQ piece here, and here are some highlights:
GQ even notes the rumors that JGL is playing "Robin" to Christian Bale's Batman, although I don't really know if that's on the level or not. JGL basically sounds like a sweet little hipster dude – hipster dudes aren't my type, but I might make an exception for him. Oh, and some of you wanted me to mention this – while JGL was at Comic-Con to promote Looper, he was doing press alongside Emily Blunt. According to reports, JGL was asked about working with Emily and what he thought about her and he said some variation of "She's funny… and let's face it, most pretty girls aren't funny." A Variety reporter claims that Emily "visibly bristled" at the comment. So… is JGL a dimpled misogynist who thinks that only ugly girls can be "funny"? Does he merely patronize "funny" pretty girls? Have at it. Photos courtesy of Nathaniel Goldberg/GQ, GQ's slideshow, WENN. |
Anne Hathaway vs. Marion Cotillard at ‘TDKR’ premiere: who looked better in white? Posted: 17 Jul 2012 05:46 AM PDT Does anyone else think it's weird that both Anne Hathaway and Marion Cotillard wore white for the NYC premiere of The Dark Knight Rises? I'm giving the color to Marion – I think it was appropriate for her to wear this white Christian Dior cocktail dress. She looks fresh and cute and appropriate. Anne, however, looks AWFUL in this Prabal Gurung Resort 2013 gown. First of all – white simply isn't her color. It never has been, yet her stylist Rachel Zoe insists of putting Annie in white. Second of all, the Gurung gown is too bridal, especially when Anne is walking a red carpet for a film in which she plays CATWOMAN. If there was ever a time to walk a red carpet wearing black leather, it's right now. As for Annie's hair… dear God. I feel mean saying anything about it now. Her hair is at a really awkward length since it's only had a few months to grow out since Anne cut it all off for Les Miserables. I do think Anne is such a pretty girl… but she needs more hair. And the BANGS!!!!! Dear God, the bangs. *sobs* So, basically, Anne walked TDKR red carpet looking like an unhinged, jilted bride with a bad haircut, and Marion looked every inch the movie star. How disappointing! I hope Anne ups her fashion game for the publicity tour. PS… I think Gloria Steinem was Anne's date? That can't be right. UPDATE: Ah, Gloria is Bale’s step-mom, that’s why she was at the premiere. I knew the Bale-Steinem connection at one point, I just forgot it. Gloria must have just posed with Anne. |
‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Hot-Guy premiere: who would you rather? Posted: 17 Jul 2012 05:21 AM PDT Last night was the big New York ("Gotham"?) premiere of The Dark Knight Rises. Everybody was there! Except for Michael Caine… he was a no-show…? I can't find photos of him in any case. But even Tom Hardy came in from the Mad Max set overseas. Let's just start with Tom, shall we? Tom Hardy isn't doing much for me in these photos, but I suspect that he'll be doing more for you ladies who were pissed off with his burly, gnarly beard. He's still got facial hair, but now he just looks… I don't know. His styling isn't doing much for me. Neither is the fact that his on-again fiancé Charlotte is all over him. Don't get me wrong – I would still hit it. HARD. But I'm lighting a candle for his old gnarly beard, because I was pretty much the only one who loved it. I know you bitches love some Cillian Murphy. Interesting factoid: WENN labeled him "Gillian Murphy". Because why not? I think he pretty and talented, of course, but… he still seems like he might be kind of psycho. It's the eyes. Christian Bale does nothing for me, but he looks really nice these days. I mean, style-wise. His hair's a good length, he looks well-fed and clean. Morgan Freeman! Joseph Gordon Levitt – I dislike his suit. And it looks like he's wearing too much foundation. And he seems… I don't know… beefy? It's that movie he's doing where he's playing a bodybuilder. He's bulked up and it doesn't look good on him. Gary Oldman is looking NICE. And he's got a hot wife, so you know he knows what to do. I just re-watched Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy over the weekend – Oldman is the best! |
Demi Moore’s daughters considering getting a restraining order against her Posted: 17 Jul 2012 04:35 AM PDT
Supposedly it’s gotten so bad with Demi begging them to contact her that her daughters are considering taking out a restraining order to prevent her from contacting them further. We’ve also heard that they don’t think their mom is sober after her recent stint in rehab earlier this year. So there’s probably some complicated family sh*t going on. Here’s the story from Radar, and I’m excerpting two stories here as they have a follow-up in which they claim Demi “constantly attacks the girls for staying friends with Ashton.”
[From two stories on Radar Online] That’s harsh, and it makes me wonder whether one of the girls is leaking this news in order to put Demi on notice. If it’s so bad that they’re considering a restraining order, maybe they think it’s somehow gentler to give the tabloids a heads up so Demi will hear about it. If they get a restraining order it becomes People Magazine level news, and that’s truly humiliating. So what’s going on with Demi? Is she still addicted to whatever prescription drugs she’s probably on (watch this video and tell me she’s sober. That was pre-rehab though) and is that contributing to how miserable and needy she is? Did she see Ashton once a week for counseling and spend the night with him last month and is that making this worse for her? (The Enquirer claimed that was the case, but it sounds like wishful thinking on her part.) This is a woman who has not come to terms with the end of her marriage and the current state of her career, to put it lightly. It seems like her kids have taken sides, and she’s not having it and making it much worse than it needs to be. Demi is shown on 1-24 and 1-15-12. There are few recent photos of her, she’s been hiding out despite starting work on a new film in NY. Credit: Andrew Evans / PR Photos, FameFlynet |
