| Kristen Stewart, victim: “She was lured into a brief situation that she never wanted” Posted: 01 Aug 2012 09:26 AM PDT I'm getting the feeling that almost all other gossip and celebrity stories are being held today as the gossip world braced itself for an onslaught of Twihard Meltdown stories… that just isn't coming. It's actually kind of dead today. Even the Twihard Meltdown stories don't seem like anything earth-shattering. Us Weekly – the leader on Twihard Meltdown 2012 – reports in their cover story that Rob has been hiding out on Reese Witherspoon's Ojai ranch/farm. LaineyGossip has some additional details from the Us Weekly cover story – Kristen Stewart is staying at her parents' house. Kristen confessed her affair to Rob last Monday. Rob isn't drowning his sorrows in booze, but he is smoking a lot. Rob is thinking back, trying to figure out what signs he missed. And sources tell Us Weekly that Kristen and Rupert Sanders' affair likely began during the promotional push for SWATH, NOT when they filmed SWATH. Oh, and Rob has been reading stuff online! HEY SPARKLES!! Keep your chin up, kiddo. You'll be okay. You need to dump her, though. People Magazine put Rob and Kristen on their cover this week too – the headline is "Inside Her Betrayal". EPIC. Some highlights from People's version… they confirm that Rob is staying at Reese's property. Rob was "blindsided". A source says, "There was no sign that either of them was unhappy. He would have done anything for her.” The source also says: "This has been such a low blow to Rob. Talk about having your heart ripped out." As for Kristen's confession to Rob, "Telling Robert was the worst thing she’s ever had to do." Kristen has also been calling and texting him constantly ("tearfully"), trying to get him to forgive her. Also: Rob is reportedly really, really upset that Kristen issued such a public apology – "It's heart-wrenching for such a private person." Most of People and Us Weekly's sources seem to be indicating that Kristen's infidelity is a dealbreaker for Rob, but many sources claim Kristen is trying to win him back: "Rob is all that matters to Kristen right now. She loves him so much. She'd do anything to be able to get through this and be together. Kristen's sad and upset. She desperately wishes she could turn back the clock." Here's something very, very interesting – the original source is People Mag, excerpted by Hollywood Life – according to sources, Rupert Sanders was "infatuated" with Kristen. A source told People, "Rupert had been infatuated with [Kristen] since the production [of SWATH], but she always kept it professional because she loved [Robert Pattinson]. She still does. It only became a flirtation recently, and she was lured into a brief situation that she never wanted." That's very interesting, isn't it? "She was lured into a brief situation that she never wanted…" Comes close to saying that Rupert somehow forced her into it, or that she's a meek and vulnerable girl who was taken advantage of by an older, powerful man's manipulations…? The problem is that it didn't seem like that at all if you look at the photos. It looks like Rupert is a love-sick puppy and Kristen is enjoying his attention. The problem continues to be that NO ONE is buying Kristen Stewart as a victim of anything, yet that's how Team Kristen is trying to play it – like we shouldn't blame her for anything because she's now joined The Cult of Perpetual Victims, because she was LURED, y'all. She didn't want this! Except that she parked in an isolated parking lot to pick up Rupert, he did some biscuit-diving in the front seat and then they drove around looking for places to hookup and makeout. She didn't WANT that. She was LURED. Photos courtesy of WENN.      |
| Katy Perry on romance: “I’m a woman who likes to be courted, strongly” Posted: 01 Aug 2012 09:05 AM PDT Katy Perry covers the September issue of Elle, and the heavily-banged (and wigged) look simply does not suit her well, especially with all of that purple nonsense still going on. Like, she already has purple hair underneath, but she’s donning a separate purple wig. It’s all so exhausting to keep up with, and now here she is yet again after promising (a few months ago) that an extended hiatus was in the works. Anyway, Katy is wearing a YSL dress on the cover, and she’ll be wearing Etro and Bottega Veneta within the feature itself. Her body looks spectacular, but the rest of her persona is so try-hard that it turns the entire package into an instant turn-off. Here are some excerpts from the interview:
[From Elle] Well, Katy’s right that she won’t be able to pull of her current shtick forever because her appeal is waning already. There’s a good chance that Katy might be able to squeeze out another successful album, but she’ll eventually fall by the industry wayside and then work her way into judging network musical competition shows. As for her declaration on wanting to practically be clubbed over the head and dragged back to the cave …. here’s a little message to John Mayer: This is how you get on that.

| Duchess Kate loves to make her own jams & sausages. No joke. Posted: 01 Aug 2012 08:58 AM PDT Even more Duchess Kate photos! Since you ladies seem to be enjoying the body-language analysis on Kate, William and Harry in today's earlier post, I'm giving you even more from the same equestrian event yesterday. I agree with those of you who seem to think that Kate is just desperately trying to get William to pay attention to her. Even when he just looks at her briefly, she lights up. He's the alpha – she's the omega. Anyway, most of you totally ignored my post yesterday about Kate covering the September issue of Vanity Fair. You probably ignored it because I led with the Jessica Chastain. Or maybe you just didn't care in general. But here's something interesting – the VF article about Kate is written by Katie Nicholl of The Daily Mail. Long-time Middleton-watchers know that Nicholl has the inside scoop because the Middleton family (all of them) are leaking like crazy to her. Nicholl is one of the biggest Kate-defenders, she's a Kate-champion if you will. So… take her article for what it is – a lot of material about Kate that comes straight from the duchess and her family.
So, Kate likes to make jam. And she and William love nothing better than puttering around their house with a cup a tea. Except… Kate and William have spent most of the past few months in London. And Kate really does seem to enjoy city life so much more, what with all of the shopping and hair appointments and the occasional red carpet appearance. I'm just saying… we're being sold a very calculated image of "Duchess Kate: Homebody" which directly contradicts what we see of her in practice. Maybe she really does enjoy making jam and having a good putter. But she'd rather be getting a blow-out and then stopping by High Street for some shopping. PS… Real question: who wears that much eye makeup to a day Olympic event, outside, in the rain? Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Gwyneth Paltrow in the new Hugo Boss perfume ad spot: sexy or hilarious? Posted: 01 Aug 2012 08:17 AM PDT Gwyneth Paltrow has been revealed as the face for the new Hugo Boss perfume, Boss Nuit Pour Femme, and I’d like to note the obvious discrepancy between this generic promotional photo (above) and the one below, which is specifically for the perfume itself. Someone is falling down on their Photoshopping, no? Goop will not be pleased and will banish this peasant to the land where woodburning stoves do not exist. Anyway, this is just a little note that Goop has gone downmarket again and is starring in a commercial for another peasanty brand, which has become quite a lucrative endeavor for her of late. First, she signed on as the “brand ambassador” for Coach purses, and then she became the face of Swedish fashion label Lindex’s “modern preppy” campaign. Finally, started shilling processed, frozen food for Spar in Austria when she thought we weren’t looking. All of these campaigns feature Goop posing happily next to goods that she’d never buy in real life, but I guess the Goop lifestyle is a delicate balance as far as financing goes. Those $270 acrylic trays don’t sell themselves, you know. Now there’s a new commercial for Goop’s Hugo Boss perfume, which I am convinced that she figured was alright to front the advert campaign for because it has a French name (and therefore, it must be fancy). Watch Gwyneth do the “sexy walk” in her little black dress, and we’ll discuss: Oh my Goop. She looks terribly uncomfortable here, doesn’t she? And soon there will not only be print and television spots but (presumably) a product launch, where Gwyneth will have to smile and say hello to the unwashed masses. Poor thing. She works so hard. Also, has she had another nose job? I can’t tell. Photos courtesy of Hugo Boss       |
| Macaulay Culkin is a hardcore heroin and oxycontin addict, claims the Enquirer Posted: 01 Aug 2012 05:27 AM PDT
The Daily Beast had a profile of Culkin last month, in which their journalist went to one of the monthly DJ parties the former child actor holds in Manhattan. His parties have child themes usually, like dinosaurs or prom, and the author described Culkin as friendly but detached. He also said that Culkin kept going in the back of the bar with a group of people who came back smelling like pot. So it sounded like Culkin was just toking up, and that he was still making appearances occasionally. I found that story reassuring because I was honestly worried about him after those photos came out. All of that is preface to this sad story that Culkin is a hardcore drug addict who is abusing Oxycontin, heroin, and a cocktail of prescription drugs. Oh no.
[From Radar] The Enquirer does run BS stories occasionally, but they wouldn’t run something like this without solid sources. I believe this, I just hope it isn’t as bad as their sources claim. I also hope that if this is true Culkin gets the help he needs soon. He had a tough childhood to say the least, his father was abusive and he was pushed to work at a young age. His sister Dakota died in 2008 after being hit by a car, and that probably affected him more than his breakup with Mila Kunis, although that’s pure speculation. Maybe now that the news is out he’ll start to realize that he needs help. Here’s Macaulay in 2010: Photo credit: FameFlynet    |
| Robert Pattinson mends his devastated sparkle-heart at Reese Witherspoon’s ranch Posted: 01 Aug 2012 05:19 AM PDT Poor, poor Sparkles. Poor Liberty Ross (I keep writing Liberty Bell, btw) too. But poor Sparkles. It's going to be ALL SPARKLES in the tabloids today. Kristen Stewart will likely get some covers too, but the overwhelming story will be "Poor Sparkles, crying sparkle-tears as he sparkles all alone." Us Weekly – the tabloid that broke the cheating story and bought the exclusive photos of Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders – is still on a victory lap. Yesterday, they published a hilariously bitchy "6 Myths about Kristen's Fling With Rupert Sanders" in which they basically called out various tabloid media outlets for their catch-up reporting. And now Us Weekly has put Sparkles on this week's cover – because we NEED to know what's going on with poor Sparkles.
Us Weekly also promises to reveal "how he found out" about Kristen's affair, and they'll reveal "Stewart’s suspicious behavior before her fling was discovered." Basically, there are more shoes to drop. I'm glad that Rob reached out to Reese, and I think it's nice that she's all, "Sure, come and stay at my ranch! The chickens will soothe you." Because she has a chicken coop on her farm. Other news…Rob was supposed to do press for Cosmopolis in NYC, but Us Weekly says Rob has cancelled some press appearances. But his rep tells Gossip Cop, “No confirmed engagements have been canceled. Any reports to the contrary are inaccurate.” It might not matter – various outlets report that Rob's support base of young Twihard girls remains unshaken, and many of his fans are planning to boycott any and all of Kristen's future films. Hopefully, those fans will show Sparkle-solidarity by going to see his little art-house movies. As for Kristen, Radar says that she's using Jodie Foster as a shoulder to cry on (lip-bite on?). A source tells Radar, "As soon as she heard the news, Jodie contacted Kristen to offer her support. They have been close friends since they starred opposite each other in the 2002 movie Panic Room, and Jodie is a mother-like figure to her. Jodie told Kristen to take no notice of the media bashing and said if she wanted to cry her heart out to her she's always available. Jodie loved Rob and is disappointed with Kristen for cheating on him. However, she knows at 22, she's still very young and unfortunately people make mistakes in life. She thinks Kristen will learn from this and will only grow into a more mature person because of it. She certainly has no intention of turning her back on Kristen during such a difficult period in her life." Blah. We will have more Twihard Meltdown news later in the day!

| Duchess Kate & William seem hot for each other as they support Zara Phillips Posted: 01 Aug 2012 04:34 AM PDT I could stare at these photos all day. In fact, I actually had to hold back and just pick and choose what I considered the most interesting shots as far body language and facial expressions went. These are photos from yesterday's Olympic equestrian event (Team Jumping), in which the British team took home silver medals. On Team GB? Zara Phillips, granddaughter of the Queen, daughter of Princess Anne, and cousin to Princes Harry and William. And cousin-in-law to Duchess Kate. Zara's family was out in full force to support her – and these are some photos of Kate, Will and Harry in the stands cheering her on. Can I just say? At most public events, Kate's smile seems shellacked, sometimes forced, sometimes frozen. I don't really blame her for that, and it's only a mild criticism of a completely subjective reading of her body language. But in these photos… she seems so un-forced. So much more relaxed. So comfortable. Maybe it's because she forgot she was being photographed. Maybe it's because she's interacting with her husband and her brother-in-law and they're both paying attention to her and that makes her genuinely happy. Maybe she just loves horsey events. Kate wore her favorite Stuart Weitzman wedges for the event. I don't know who made her nautical-striped tank, but the navy blazer (which she took off at one point) is Smythe, and it costs more than $700. Kate did wear the same blazer for the past several days, so I guess that constitutes a "repeat". Plus, I'm pretty sure that blazer has been in her closet for a while, right? I think she was photographed wearing it last year too. I'm a little bit surprised Kate didn't wear her own Olympic medal in Waity-ing. You can see more photos from the event (and read more about the event) here, at The Mail. Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Tom Cruise one-ups Katie’s zoo & museum runs by taking Suri to Disney World Posted: 01 Aug 2012 04:28 AM PDT Here’s some photos of Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise heading for coffee and bagels in NYC on 7/30. From the looks of things, Suri is not in the mood to suffer any paps. After snacktime, however, it was time for Katie to take Suri to the airport where it was time for a private jet and — you guessed it — Tom time. Naturally, Tom has no intention of stopping with the “full-court press” approach to parenting; that is, he plans on spoiling the hell out of Suri because it makes him feel like a more awesome person (who himself enjoys gifts made from CO$ slave labor). Go Gollum. Anyway, Tom had something in his personal arsenal that was specifically designed to make Katie’s recent trip with Suri to feed the Bronx zoo giraffes look like a day sitting in a commercial airplane. In response, Tom took Suri to Disney World. He wore his favorite, brand-new pair of blindingly white hightop sneakers with massive lifts too! And you can see from the photos that once again, Tom can’t smiling at the paps. He’s such a massive tool. People has also written up a suspiciously glowing report of Tom Cruise, the best father in the entire world:
[From People] See, Tom’s doing it again. He’s manipulating the media just like he did when he invited a tabloid journalist to go swimming with himself and Suri, but remember how he snapped at the fawning bystander in that same report? Now he’s being nice to the little civilians too because maybe (just maybe) someone told Tom that he gave himself away by being nice to the reporter but acting rude towards the fangirl. Now according to People, the bystander is the one giving the wonderful report of what a great, amazing dad Tom Cruise is. Oh, and he’s “really handsome” too. Did you catch that? The woman is probably a Scientologist. Photos courtesy of Pacific Coast News       |
| Olympics: Michael Phelps breaks records, Team USA takes gold in gymnastics Posted: 01 Aug 2012 04:27 AM PDT Let's talk about the Olympics. You're going to have to excuse me preemptively for not always using the right terminology and stuff – I'm not a sports writer, obviously. And I don't have the time to go as in-depth as I'd like to about some of this stuff, especially since I'm suffering from a pretty bad Olympic hangover right now, having stayed up late (late for me) to watch all of NBC's dragging coverage of yesterday's Olympic events. So, let me just do some highlights: *Michael Phelps won gold and silver yesterday! Team USA won gold in the Men's Relay (so, Phelps and Ryan Lochte won), and Phelps took silver in the 200m butterfly. Chad le Clos, a South African HOTTIE, won gold over Phelps. I'm including photos of Chad because, you know, HOT HOT HOT. I was really proud of Chad too! He looked so happy to win. Princess Charlene of Monaco was there, cheering him on too. As for Phelps… he got his game face on in a hurry after failing to place in his first competition, and after Lochte bungled the anchor leg of the relay of the 400m Freestyle a few days ago, losing first place to the French. That French swimmer, Yannick Agnel, is really bringing it. Yannick is a BEAST. *GOOOOOOoooo Missy Franklin! The cutest, most adorable sweetheart of Team USA's swim team got her first gold! I love her. She's the cutest thing. *I'm seriously worried about Team USA's defending gold-medal champions, Kerri Walsh, Misty May-Treanor, Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers. Kerri and Misty's first match was pretty rough – although they still won, they just seemed lethargic. They improved in their last two matches, though. I'm still worried – Kerri just announced that she has pinkeye!!! That's a big deal. But really, let's talk about Dalhausser and Rogers. I was RIVETED by their game yesterday against Spain – Phil and Todd won, but their win was tainted by a bad call and a complete and total hissy fit thrown by the Spanish players – you can read more about it here. The lesson: keep playing until you hear the whistle, for the love of God. Plus, Big Man Dalhausser is playing like he's hurting. *Now, let's talk about what happened in gymnastics last night. USA! USA! USA! I'm so happy and proud for those girls. Unlike the men's gymnastics team, the girls knew how to perform under pressure. I cried as they nailed routine after routine, pushing themselves and showing off just what a cohesive unit they are. I think Ali Reisman and Gabby Douglas are the biggest gymnastic stars in the world!!! *Have you ever seen a Russian gymnastics team have a meltdown like that? I cannot remember the Russians ever being THAT emotional. Of course, I can't remember ever seeing a Russian team screw up so badly. When those little girls were crying, I just wanted to give them all hugs. But really: the Russian girls = the American boys' team. I've never seen the American men have a total meltdown like they did on Monday either. *The girls' gymnastics leotards were AWFUL. I don't even want to speak about what that unflattering leotard did to poor Gabby. And that's all I've got. I've been watching other events, of course – who knew that archery was so compelling? – but I just wanted to talk about some of the big events. PS… Don't yell about the photos! We don't have access to any of the photos from the gymnastics events, so I just went with the swimmer dudes. You're welcome!! Photos courtesy of WENN, Pacific Coast News.    |
| Karl Lagerfeld on Choupette: “I’m commercial. She’s not. She’s spoiled to death” Posted: 01 Aug 2012 04:20 AM PDT There are few things I love more than a new Karl Lagerfeld interview. This man is a joy. He's not actually joyful or anything, he is just the bringer of joy in others. I love his deathly nuggets of bitchery, and I love his dry, nasty asides. But over the past few months, Karl's heart facsimile has begun to grow. A little. Karl got himself a fancy little kitten. He named the kitten Choupette. Choupette is the love of Karl's life, if the man was capable of love. He's not capable of love, so he only spoils his little princess kitty and hires her THREE full-time staffers. And Karl also taught Choupette to use an iPad, so there's that too. Anyway, Karl has a new interview in The Independent (UK) and he's talking more about Choupette! MORE CHOUPETTE!
I don't understand when Choupette is EVER "alone". She has a staff of THREE PEOPLE. Choupette might be the most well-staffed cat ever. And she goes to the vet every 10 days?! For what? I don’t get it. But still, she waits for Karl at the front door. Which is an adorable image. I wonder if Karl ever thought of putting a bell on Choupette's collar? Totally gauche, of course. Choupette doesn't even wear a collar! Maybe Karl should design one for her. GAH. I can't believe how much I want to know about Choupette's exciting life. I want to know if she sleeps in his bed with him. I want to know if she has regular, peasanty cat toys. I want to know if Choupette realizes she's the light of her daddy's life. Oh, and Karl has more quotes in The Sun (I wonder if he really spoke to them?). Karl on the Middleton sisters: “Kate Middleton has a nice silhouette and she is the right girl for that boy. I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, her sister struggles. I don’t like the sister’s face. She should only show her back.” Damn.
