| Kiki Dunst in Louis Vuitton for Paris Fashion Week: the best she’s looked in years? Posted: 05 Jul 2012 08:40 AM PDT These are just some nice photos from yesterday's Louis Vuitton show/opening something during Paris Fashion Week. Kirsten Dunst was the big headliner for the event, which… I mean, she's not the big "celebrity get" that she once was, but I do appreciate that she's attempting a career comeback and it's kind of working. Kiki's dress is LV, I'm guessing, and I totally love it. ON HER. I would look like hell in this. On Kiki, it's fresh and flattering and really very beautiful. Her whole vibe is really pretty here – breezy hair, simple makeup, she looks young and happy and lovely. I wonder if she's still with Garrett Hedlund? I hope so. Now, while Kiki was in Cannes in May, I kept saying that she had some kind of bump – it's disappeared! So she lost some weight. Or maybe she's just not boozing so much these days. More photos from the LV event – Princess Charlene! She's still in Paris without her husband. Chuckle. This is seriously Prince Albert's wedding anniversary gift to Charlene – she got to go to Paris without him and do Paris Fashion Week events. She looks so happy here! And here's Catherine Deneuve. Because she's amazing. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet.      |
| Christina Aguilera’s boozy, star-spangled cardigan: righteous or trashy? Posted: 05 Jul 2012 08:04 AM PDT CB covered some of the celebrities-on-holiday photos earlier today (here), but I'm glad she didn't cover these in the larger post, because I really want to talk about them. Christina Aguilera was photographed in Malibu over the 4th of July with her boyfriend Matt Rutler and her son. It really looks like Christina and Matt were getting their drink on (HARD) and decided to talk a boozy walk on the beach. Yeah. I've totally done that. Back when I used to really drink, I once passed out on the beach – it's completely disorienting to wake up in that environment. Anyway… we haven't talked about Christina in a while. I think The Voice auditions are going on now, and I saw something about Christina and Adam Levine working together to see who they were going to bring on to the new season of NBC's latest hit show. So, Christina is kind of working these days. She's also releasing a new single next month, trying to re-launch her music career on the success of The Voice. We'll see if it works. But really, I just want to talk about something completely superficial: how much do you love/hate Christina's flag cardigan?!?! I'm tempted to say that I kind of love it. It's the kind of thing you feel comfortable wearing on Independence Day, but you might feel weird about wearing it on other days. It will be interesting to see if Christina wears it ever again. She should! It's kind of righteous. I do love it, I've made up my mind. Photos courtesy of Pacific Coast News.    |
| Duchess Kate in pale yellow Emilia Wickstead in Scotland: lovely? Posted: 05 Jul 2012 07:26 AM PDT New photos of Duchess Kate! Happy day. First, we finally got access to a couple of photos of Kate and William at Wimbledon the other day – Kate wore a repeat, that sailor-looking McQueen dress that she wore last year in Canada. Today, however, Kate wore something new for a public appearance in Scotland. I always forget that Will and Kate have special royal titles for when they're in Scotland – they are called "The Earl and Countess of Strathearn". So for these photos, she's not Duchess Kate. She's Countess Kate. Which is cuter, in my opinion. Countess Kate wore this surprisingly lovely yellow Emilia Wickstead dress – I haven't seen Kate in yellow in a while. It suits her, right? Sometimes, a brunette really works in pale yellow. She also wore £495 citrine drop earrings and a hat/thing by Whiteley. So, Countess Kate and William were in Scotland for "the Thistle Ceremony" otherwise known as The Order of the Thistle, which is like some big deal and William was "installed" as Knight of the Thistle. Don't worry, I'm not even going to try to explain it, but I will let The Mail try:
They keep making a big deal about The Princess Royal being in the Order of the Thistle, it makes me wonder if the Prince of Wales is in the order? Did the Queen thistle-block her oldest son in favor of her grandson? Interesting. Well, whatever. Countess Kate in yellow, looking pretty good – that's what people will pay attention to. Does anyone else think she might have gained a little weight too? Or is the fabric of that dress just really thick, and the waist is a little loose which gives the impression of a slight weight gain? I can't tell. PS… Her Button Problem isn't so flagrant with this dress – look at the tiny, barely noticeable buttons!! Well done, Countess Kate. Wimbledon photos: Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Demi Moore’s daughters won’t speak to her, “they want a mother not a little sister” Posted: 05 Jul 2012 07:22 AM PDT
During the holiday, the news came out that there were topless photos being shopped around of Tallulah Willis, 18, laughing and smoking what appeared to be a joint. I was going to write that we’ve already seen Tallulah with her ass hanging out, but I was mistaken, that was her older sister, Scout, 20. Scout turns 21 at the end of the month, and given her history with underage drinking we’ll probably hear something about that when it happens. I didn’t find that story about Tallulah too shocking or newsworthy, since it’s just some pot and boobs, but it’s possible those photos will surface online or in a tabloid soon. One of Tallulah’s acquaintances probably sold her out. Anyway we’ve heard that Demi Moore’s relationship with her daughters has been strained, to say the least, since even before she went to rehab. Tallulah and Scout were reportedly embarrassed by how their mom was going off the rails after her split with Ashton. Back in February, In Touch reported that Tallulah and Scount wanted “nothing to do” with Demi. Tallulah was living with dad Bruce Willis at the time and Scout was off at college. Demi was said to have had a decent relationship with her oldest daughter Rumer, 23, and we know she was partying with Rumer and her young buddies when she ended up overdosing. (She was even hitting on Rumer’s guy friends, allegedly.) Then last month we heard all about Tallulah’s high school graduation and how Demi forbade her ex, Ashton, from attending. Back then Radar quoted a source who claimed that her daughters didn’t think Demi was sober. “They're really worried about everything she is doing lately and they're getting mad at her. Demi has been doing things that make them worry that maybe she isn't staying sober and they're not happy about her behavior. The last thing these girls need is dealing with their mother going through yet another episode.” Well now Radar claims that since the graduation happened the girls, including Rumer, aren’t talking to their mom at all. What’s more is that they all want to stay friendly with their ex stepdad, Ashton, which of course makes their relationship with Demi even more awkward. Here’s more:
[From Radar] You know I’ve had a lot of sympathy for Demi. Some people find her insufferable, but I just think she’s lost her way and doesn’t know how to pick up the pieces. I’m gradually coming around to the idea that she’s an addict and a mess, though. Maybe she’s just embarrassed and laying low, but we haven’t seen one interview with her since she got out of rehab. She’s executive producing an interview show with her friend Amanda de Cadenet for Lifetime called The Conversation. Demi could have easily sat down with Amanda and talked about things, but she hasn’t. I get that she’s too close to the situation still, and maybe she wants to process everything before she makes another public appearance. I just found this video of Demi doing a press conference for the show back in October. At first I thought it was from earlier this year, after she got out of rehab, but it’s before. (Demi speaks at :50 and 2:18 if you want to skip to those parts.) Demi’s speech is slurred and she has trouble finding her words in this video. She’s able to articulate her thoughts, but she seems sleepy and drugged up. Again, this is before she went to rehab, so maybe she’s sober now, but this latest story is making me doubt that. I guess I don’t blame her daughters for trying to distance themselves from her. It must be painful to have a mom who’s an addict. Still, do they have to hang out with Ashton? They should be avoiding that guy too. Photos of Demi at Tallulah’s graduation are here. She looks pissed off! Demi, Ashton and Tallulah in 2008 Tallulah in 2012 at Coachella Scout with her dad and stepmom in 2010 These event photos with Demi are from 2007 and 2008. Tallulah is shown alone at Coachella on 4-14-12. I hope her clothes got wet or something and someone lent her that awful hoodie to wear. Scout is shown in 2010 with her dad and stepmom.

| Katie Holmes foreshadowed her divorce in Elle, Team Cruise ramps up Posted: 05 Jul 2012 06:44 AM PDT Elle Magazine hit the magazine motherlode by interviewing Katie Holmes just before she began her ballsy breakaway from Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology. Elle usually releases their cover stories and cover shoots mid-month, but I guess they wanted to start to get Katie's August cover out there quickly, to build on the divorce storyline. I should note – this interview did take place weeks before Katie filed for divorce, but Elle is making a big deal about Katie's "foreshadowing" her unhappiness in her marriage, etc. Some highlights from the piece thus far:
Yes, it does sound like she was telegraphing her intentions, and perhaps being a bit more direct within the interview than she normally is with celebrity journalists. It's an interesting view into her mindset pre-split, as she prepared to make her getaway. I think she sounds pretty good. Brave, even. Brave enough to imagine her life without Tom, brave enough to plan for her future and her daughter's future. I love Katie Holmes: Phase Three. Phase One was the pre-Tom time period, when she was "the Dawson's girl" with a promising film career. Phase Two was the "Cruise Era". And now Phase Three is Post-Tom, Post-Xenu, a single mom in the city who is hunkering down for the fight of her life. Bless her. Speaking of the fight of her life, there's been even more movement this morning after Bedhead covered all of the stuff that happened yesterday. Tom flew from Iceland to LA on his birthday, and it's believed that he "hunkered down" with his team to come up with a strategy to fight Katie legally and PR-wise. We're now seeing some push-back in the press by Team Cruise, so despite Tom's bitchy lawyer's statement, Team Cruise is totally playing the press. Some bullet points: *Radar says Tom "has made getting temporary visitation of their 6-year-old daughter, Suri, his main priority, and he intends to go to court in Los Angeles and make the plea in person." Tom contacted (allegedly) his LA divorce lawyer Dennis Wasser, who has advised Cruise to file for divorce in California, and then get a temporary court order to gain access to Suri. *A source tells Radar: "Team Cruise has extensive documentation to prove that Los Angeles is where the case should proceed, because this is where he says they have lived. Tom is extremely disappointed that Katie filed in New York, and he feels that she is trying to cut him out of their daughter’s life. Tom won’t tolerate it and told his lawyers that if he personally needs to go to court and make a plea in front of the judge for an order allowing him to see his daughter, he will. Suri knew it was his birthday on Tuesday, and she said she had made a card for him and made him a gift, and it just tore at his heart." So sad. Team Cruise, playing on the heartstrings. *Eventually Tom may seek full custody of Suri, sources say: “Tom has faith in his lawyers, and the legal system. Tom is also discussing the possibility of pursuing full legal custody of Suri. Tom could make a very strong case because he raised his two adopted children, Bella, and Connor with Nicole Kidman. Tom was their main custodial parent. Tom is just at a loss as to why Katie would go to such extreme measures when she decided to file for divorce. Tom’s lawyer will also request an order that Suri return to Los Angeles as soon as possible, and that she can’t travel out of the state without each parent’s prior approval." *Sources (close to Cruise) claim he's hellbent on having all of the legal stuff moved to California because "neither of the actors met the residency requirement." Which is BS because Katie and Tom shared an apartment in NYC, and she is now a resident of NYC because she's got a NEW apartment. *TMZ says Tom and Katie are not in contact at all, but his people and her people are talking and fighting about Tom's access to Suri. Tom is allegedly speaking to Suri on the phone once a day, but Team Holmes is making even phone calls very difficult. "Sources" also say that Tom isn't talking about the divorce with Suri. They also say that Tom isn't going to try to see his daughter immediately, because he's got to film a movie next week. The (Cruise) sources say "things are really bitter now" between Tom and Katie and here's the richest line ever: "He feels betrayed by her and thinks she is using Suri as a weapon." Really, bitch? You mean THE EXACT SAME THING YOU DID TO NICOLE KIDMAN? Photos courtesy of Elle, The Fashion Spot.    |
| Katie Holmes denies filing emergency custody order, Tom fires back Posted: 05 Jul 2012 04:30 AM PDT The good news for Tom Cruise these days is that he was just named the highest paid actor by Forbes magazine due to his May 2011-12 earnings of $75 million. The bad news? Everything else. Reports out yesterday claimed his estranged wife Katie Holmes had filed an emergency custody order. Radar online claimed to have confirmed the order, but Hollywood Life has the best details. The order was said to require Tom to personally appear for a hearing in NYC, and he would not have been allowed to use a (solely) California-licensed attorney. Also (more importantly), the proceedings would have been public and New York law (which is much friendlier to those requesting sole custody) would have applied. Only Katie’s lawyer has denied that she requested an emergency custody hearing, and claimed that to date she has only filed for divorce. People has a “source” (read: Tom’s lawyer) who states that Tom is going to file in California, and adds that it’s “ridiculous” that Katie filed in New York. Advantage: Katie.
[From People] Meanwhile, Tom is attempting to appear very sympathetic in the eyes of the public. It turns out that he wasn’t flying to NYC on his birthday to reprise the Top Gun soundtrack on Katie’s doorstop, but instead, he’s gone back to Los Angeles. People has further details that the occasion was a “somber” one because, at this stage of the divorce game, he only has phone contact with Suri. People (suspiciously) stresses that Tom phones Suri “several times a day,” but I have to wonder …. how exactly is this situation different from the planned scenario wherein Tom spends nearly every waking moment (including birthdays) on film sets? Sounds like someone is “playing” the press. Indeed, Tom is doing just that. His reps have leaked info to Us Weekly that Tom literally “plann[ed] his own ‘surprise’ birthday bash” for this week and begged Katie to attend in Iceland for “one last try at reconciliation,” because “he was confident he could talk her out of [leaving] and keep her with him,” but mean old Katie refused. Now this is where it starts getting really ugly. Tom’s lawyer has issued a statement of how his client is merely waiting to give his side of the story until Katie stops using the media to her own advantage:
[From BBC] That’s an incredibly bitchy statement from a so-called officer of the court, right? As if Katie has been merely “play[ing] the media” by filing for divorce without Tom’s express consent. Then she hit up Whole Foods where a NY Daily News reporter took some photos and asked Katie how she was doing. Her answer? “I’m all right. Thank you.” For shame, Katie. For shame. Here are some further details about Katie’s escape from underneath Tom’s controlling grip. People has details that Katie had no choice but to “fake it” in order to keep Tom unaware of her plans while he was away in Iceland filming Oblivion. Earlier this month, her inner circle discreetly swapped cell phone numbers so that now her “old best friends” (a.k.a. “Scientologists”) “don’t have her new number, no email. She’s unreachable.” Further details about the divorce come from The Sun, which says that the marriage “was doomed from the start” because of Tom’s questionably “intense” friendship with CO$ leader David Miscavage. The HuffPo also recounts the urban legend of Tom and Katie’s marriage contract as well, which is well worth a read. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet       |
| Andrea Casiraghi, Monaco’s second in line to the throne, is engaged Posted: 05 Jul 2012 04:26 AM PDT Andrea Casiraghi is engaged! And since I know this news will be met with a litany of "WHO"s, let me explain. Andrea is a boy, first of all. He's the oldest child of Princess Caroline of Monaco and Caroline's second husband, Stefano Casiraghi. Stefano was the husband that died in a tragic boating accident in 1990. After Stefano's death, it's said that Caroline took her three children to a remote part of France and raised them for years out of the spotlight. When the kids (Andrea, Charlotte, Pierre, in order of birth) were teenagers, Caroline reintroduced them to royal life, stepping in as the de facto First Lady of Monaco in her father HSH Prince Rainier's last decade on the throne. It was said that Rainier adored the Casiraghi children, doting on them and spoiling them. Also – Caroline did remarry eventually. She married Prince Ernst August of Hanover, and they have a daughter (a half-sister to the Casiraghi kids) and there are tons of rumors that Ernst and Caroline barely have a marriage at this point, and Ernst flagrantly flaunts his mistresses in public. Anyway, back to Andrea. There's some evidence that Caroline has been plotting on her eldest son's behalf, dropping the odd quote here and there to journalists, letting it be known that if her brother, Albert (the current ruler of Monaco) does not provide an heir, Andrea will be perfectly willing to take the crown. I thought for a time that Albert thought of Andrea as his heir as well – Albert is allegedly close to Caroline's children. But all of those plans were thrown into disarray when Albert married Charlene. Now Monaco waits to see if Albert and Charlene will provide an heir (born in wedlock, because that's the only way you get to be an heir in Monaco). So… the fact that Andrea is now engaged to his young girlfriend… it's interesting.
Good God, I forgot that Andrea is already 28 years old! I thought he was only 23 or so. Well, it's nice I guess. Putting aside the royal gossip and the politics, both sexual and realpolitik, it's simply nice that Andrea is marrying his girlfriend of seven years. No one has every called Tatiana "Waity" even though she's apparently been waiting for the ring all this time? I have no idea what Tatiana does, though. I know her family is crazy rich and I've actually heard that Tatiana and Andrea's relationship is pretty stable. No huge breakups, no violent club dramas, nothing like that, although I'm sure some Monaco gossips should be here shortly to tell me how wrong I am. At worst, they're both rich and vapid and quiet. At best, Andrea is making some interesting moves, and it will be fascinating to see if this jumpstarts Albert and Charlene's babymaking plans. Who will the next heir be? A spawn of Albert, or will the throne eventually pass to Andrea and his half-Colombian heirs? I don't even know. Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Lindsay Lohan goes back to red after ‘Liz & Dick’ wrapped: improved? Posted: 05 Jul 2012 04:25 AM PDT In my completely unscientific and superficial study of Lindsay Lohan, I've always thought that her hair color determined how crackie she behaved. The highest level of cracked-out behavior always seemed to come when she was a blonde and brunette. The blonde is always the worst, I've felt, just because the shade of white-blonde doesn't suit her and she tends to resemble a 50-something truck-stop hooker (no disrespect, truck-stop ladies – all are welcome on this forum). When she's brunette, she's still a crazy crackhead, but she just looks a tad better and a little bit younger, although that's not a guarantee. As for her natural hair color – Firecrotch Ginger, if you will – it does suit her coloring, she looks fine with it, and I don't know why she doesn't just keep it ginger. Anyway, Lindsay has gone back to red. Which means that she's officially done filming Liz & Dick with Lifetime (they wrapped on the 3rd), which means HELLO CRACK SHENANIGANS!!!! Except not really, because the Cracken's shenanigans were in full-force during production, so if anything, the shenanigans might go undetected now that an insurance company isn't breathing down her neck. Anyway, the hair color… eh. The past few times she's gone back to red, it's not really the "red" of her natural state. She's been doing it strawberry-blonde, really – like Nicole Kidman used to do. Although this photo isn't very high quality, it does seem like Lindsay did go a bit darker than usual. Whatever. You know she'll be back to blonde soon enough. Probably when she hits another baby with her rented Porsche while swigging vodka from a water bottle. PS… I'm including some more of the Cracken's recent Instagram photos.

| Claire Danes & Hugh Dancy are expecting their first child: yay! Posted: 05 Jul 2012 04:25 AM PDT My first reaction upon hearing the happy news that Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy are expecting their first child: "OMG, Will this affect Homeland?!?!?" Because, yes, I LOVE that show and if you watched the first season you know that it would be very wrong and weird to introduce a pregnancy for Claire's character. Of course, it could happen. OMG IS IT BRODY'S?!?!?! No, I won't go there. GAH! I can't wait for the second season of Homeland. Those bitches are making us wait until September 30 for the second season. I don't know if they've finished filming the season yet? It could be that Claire just announced the news as Homeland wrapped? Perhaps.
Weird sidenote: I've been getting strange vibes from Claire and Hugh over the past year or so. Yes, he's British and rather posh and fancy, so maybe it's just a cultural thing, but I really thought they were on the verge of splitting. That was the vibe I was getting, so I didn't expect this. I think it's unfair to assume that this is a Band-Aid Baby, though. I don't really know what's going on in their marriage. Maybe they're fine. Hopefully they're all good. He's in an acclaimed and award-winning Broadway play (Venus In Fur) and she's getting nominated for every award out there for her ballsy and amazing performance on Homeland. Maybe they're just two of the best actors out there, procreating quietly. Congrats!! Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Us Weekly: Jessica Simpson was drinking margaritas while breastfeeding Posted: 05 Jul 2012 04:24 AM PDT I've been saying since the beginning of this fart-blanketed catastrophe that Jessica Simpson is going to rue the day that she signed a $3 million contract with Weight Watchers. Jessica says there are no problems, tweeting, "Just so everyone knows…Weight Watchers hasn’t put ANY pressure on me! I’m trying to be as healthy as I can be for myself and I feel great!" – but we know the truth, don't we? Weight Watchers will totally put pressure on her to lose weight, and some claim they've already set up goals for Jessica – goals which she's already struggling with, like losing 50 pounds in five months. Now Us Weekly reports that WW has told Jessica she needs to lose AT LEAST 20 pounds by the end of August or they won't pay her. FINE. She doesn't need the money anyway, but it will be embarrassing for poor Jess if she can't meet her goals. Also, guess who grabbed a cocktail as soon that baby was out of her?
[From US Weekly, print edition] Jessica had a problem with margaritas? I didn't know that. I knew she had a problem with Scotch, though. I wonder if she still sips her beloved Macallan now that Maxwell has arrived? Is Maxwell drinking White Russians while breastfeeding? What is the caloric difference between a double Scotch, straight up, versus a margarita? So many questions. But as for Weight Watchers and the money and all – I think Jessica just signed on to WW to give herself some instigation to get back into shape. But I swear, she had no idea how much Weight Watchers would pressure her to lose the weight fast. Photos courtesy of Jessica's Twitter, WENN & PCN.    |
