| Kristen Stewart & Rupert Sanders will probably work together again, of course Posted: 02 Aug 2012 08:54 AM PDT Is it just me or is the "industry" side of the Kristen Stewart-Rupert Sanders affair really interesting? Conventional wisdom says that Kristen Stewart will be able to survive the Twihard Meltdown and that losing her Twihard fanbase might actually be better for her in the long run. But! I do think that Kristen will still be feeling the (negative) effects of the scandal on her career for years to come. I do think the scandal will propel the last Twilight movie (opening in November) into a stratospheric box office – everyone will see that dumb movie now. As for Rupert Sanders… will he come out of this with his career? Eh. Probably. He didn't have a high profile before this, and while this sounds really harsh (and it's not how I feel personally), most people don't care about his perceived "personal problems" and "marriage problems" because his wife isn't very famous in her own right. If he was married to someone well-known, it would have been a bigger deal for him. While Summit scrambles (?) to figure out how to work the Breaking Dawn Part II publicity schedule (more on that in a moment), there's still another "industry" story that many have been ignoring: when Snow White and the Huntsman became a financial success, Kristen Stewart proved that she could carry a non-Twilight film and that she could "deliver" a solid box office. So Universal immediately greenlighted a sequel to SWATH. With Kristen. And Rupert Sanders. Radar says that Liberty Ross has demanded that Rupert pull out as director:
In an interesting turn of events, The Hollywood Reporter claims that as far as Universal is concerned, Rupert is still on board to direct the sequel. But Kristen is contractually obligated for the sequel, while Rupert is not. Right now his attachment to the film is basically "Well, he did a good job the first time, and if he wants to direct the sequel, he can." Even if he doesn't end up directing, I think the chances are pretty good that Rupert would end up producing the sequel, don't you? Which means that any way you slice it, Kristen and Rupert are going to work together again. Which is epic. Now, as for Summit and their headache. One week after Us Weekly published the Kristen-Rupert photos, Summit finally got around to issuing a statement about their plans for the publicity tour. The statement:
What do you think Summit executives are most worried about? That Rob Pattinson will dump Kristen and refuse to be photographed with her or do press with her? Or that they'll stay together in some weird kind of limbo and everything will just be awkward and forced and everyone will be creeped out? Photos courtesy of WENN.      |
| Jenna Fischer lost the baby weight over 10 months without a chef or a nanny Posted: 02 Aug 2012 08:32 AM PDT Jenna Fischer is saying great things again about how women shouldn’t have to confirm to ridiculous body ideals immediately after giving birth. Last year, she spoke of standing in solidarity with those who don’t leave the hospital wearing size 2 jeans, and a few months ago, she admitted to being angered by the trend of posing in a bikini at six weeks postpartum. Her reasoning is that bringing another life into this world is something that women shouldn’t necessarily rush to hide, but of course there’s always going to be that awful pressure for celebrities and non-famous people alike. Well now Jenna has lost her baby weight, and she asserts that it took ten full months for her to lose the extra pounds. She insists that it just wasn’t a priority to her because she’s busy raising her son and working too. So she basically spends all of her off-set time with her baby, and she doesn’t rely on a nanny or a chef to give her more opportunities to get back in shape really fast. It’s basically impossible not to like this woman, right?
[From People] I do recall that after having my daughter, all I wanted to do was be with her while I wasn’t working, and the idea of heading out to a gym at that point was a fully impossible one. Sure, my mother-in-law would have gladly taken care of her for a few hours, but I couldn’t bear to leave my girl’s side. Things are different now, and I go to the gym while my daughter’s at school, or I take her with me, which is an adventure in itself. So I’m glad that there’s at least one celebrity out there who will admit that it’s not the most important thing in the world to have a fantastic set of abs right after popping out a kid. Jenna also words things so well in terms of “celebrating” her son’s birth and not seeing the point in hiding her maternal pride. Photos courtesy of WENN       |
| Michael Fassbender with short hair & a great suit in London: would you hit it? Posted: 02 Aug 2012 08:30 AM PDT SON OF A…!!!!! Yesterday, I saw that other sites had new Michael Fassbender photos, but I checked the photo ID and thought, "Damn, we don't have access to them anyway." But we had them the whole time!!!! So, you're welcome. NEW FASSY!!! He shaved. He cut his hair. He's wearing a really nice suit. He's still a glorious ginger. And the Fassdong is present and accounted for, thank you very much. I guess we now know (for sure) that Fassy "dresses to the left" (his left). Not only is the Fassdong a southpaw (you know what I mean, LOL), but I'm pretty sure Fassy is going commando in these photos. Bless his heart. And L’Fassdong. Anyway, Fassy is in London now – the suit and the haircut is for his role in The Counselor, which had a really fast preproduction, right? Fassy had been in Louisiana filming Twelve Years a Slave with Steve McQueen, and I'm guessing he started The Counselor just a short time after Slave wrapped. This is the Ridley Scott movie where Fassy plays a lawyer who gets in over his head about something something. Angelina Jolie was rumored to be involved – possibly playing Fassy's character's fiance, but the part ended up going to Cameron Diaz. Or something, there were a lot of rumors about this one, actually. One of the rumors ended up coming true – Brad Pitt took a small part in the film, making it Brad's first film with Ridley Scott since Thelma & Louise. You know Brad and Fassy adore each other, right? Because they do. Fassy has talked a lot about Brad opening up some doors for him in Hollywood. Anyway, back to the photos… Fassdong, ginger, etc. I do seem to prefer Fassy when he's a bit more unkempt. I like him with some scruff, and when his hair is longer. He just looks… hotter when he looks more wild and untamed. Of course, I would still peel this suit off of him with my tongue. I'm not saying otherwise. Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Prince Harry in a Team GB navy button-down at the Olympics: would you hit it? Posted: 02 Aug 2012 07:58 AM PDT Here are some new photos of Prince Harry "watching the swimming event" yesterday at the Olympics. I do not know WHICH swimming event or anything (I was just quoting WENN). That's not the point of this post! The point of this post is… Harry… in a navy Team GB button-down and great jeans… looking hot. This post is about the many (hot) faces of Harry. I love how involved he gets. I love his boyish enthusiasm. I love the way he seems to be muffling his laugh… perhaps he's chuckling over some athlete screwing up? Because I do that too, and then I feel guilty for laughing. But really, how can we not devote more time to Harry wearing a navy shirt? Navy is his color. Navy looks AMAZING on Harry. He should wear navy more often. Harry has been all over the place during the Olympics thus far. I like how Harry, William and Kate have been going to all kinds of events – not just the biggest ones. Harry and William were at Men's Gymnastics the other night, and they saw Team GB win the gold in rowing yesterday too (they were thrilled!). Harry has also been spending time with the athletes, and with some young people in London. Reportedly, he spoke to a "group of youngsters" during a Clarence House reception, and he said: "As soon as I left school it was impossible for me to play sport anywhere. As soon as people finish school, there doesn’t seem to be opportunities for sport.” Interestingly enough, Team GB is facing some criticism in their home country because many of the athletes have been privately educated – politicians are complaining that the public schools haven't been focused enough on sports. My friends over at Prince Harry Watch have been keeping tabs on all things Harry – you can follow them on Twitter here. Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Taylor Swift has been “swept off her feet” by 18-year-old Conor Kennedy Posted: 02 Aug 2012 06:16 AM PDT Are you surprised that Taylor Swift, 22, is dating an 18-year-old Kennedy boy? I am. I had never realized that Swifty was so "into" the Kennedy family. But she is. It's now been established that Swifty is dating Robert Kennedy Jr.'s son Conor. Swifty and Conor have been spotted all around Hyannis Port and Cape Cod over the past few weeks, after initial media reports (a month ago) claimed that Swifty was actually into Patrick Schwarzenegger, the 18-year-old son of Arnold and Maria Shriver. Some disagree and some agree with me that it's a very big deal when the girl is 22 years old (and a musical superstar) and the boy is 18 years old (and a Kennedy). That's a big difference in ages, in experiences, in social spheres, in everything. But Swifty is trying to sell this idea that Conor "swept her off her feet". FOR REAL.
I hope Swifty HAS read a lot about them. I hope she read the bad parts of those books as well as the interesting, awesome parts. Because with Kennedy greatness comes Kennedy awfulness. And Kennedy men aren't really known for making the best boyfriends and husbands. Besides that, I just don't see how an 18-year-old Kennedy boy (who just lost his mom, FTLOG) is suddenly the most romantic, perfect, sparkly boyfriend ever and HE is the one who is sweeping Swifty off her feet. Meanwhile, Rory Kennedy (Conor's aunt) and Ethel Kennedy (Conor's grandmother and widow of RFK) have given Swifty their approval. Ethel said she didn't set Swifty up with Conor: "As for my involvement, certainly not. Rory [Kennedy] went to a concert.” And Rory confirmed: “I went to a concert with my two daughters and that’s how it all started. She’s a great friend of all of ours. She’s awesome and we love her.” When asked if Swifty would be welcomed into the Kennedy clan, Ethel said, "We should be so lucky!” Oh, an eyewitness told Us Weekly that last Friday, "Conor put his arm around Taylor and they kissed behind the boat shed." How 50 Shades. If you've read the book, you know what goes down in the boatshed. Photos courtesy of WENN, Twitter.    |
| Jessica Biel in pink Dior for the ‘Total Recall’ premiere: too sweet or just right? Posted: 02 Aug 2012 05:24 AM PDT Here are some photos from last night's LA premiere of Total Recall. The ads keep playing during the Olympics and I just think, "Eh." It's not that it looks actively bad or anything – I think I would actually enjoy seeing Kate Beckinsale in her role in particular. But I just don't get why they remade the original when the original is… actually really good. Like, the original Total Recall is one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's best films, in my opinion. I guess we're supposed to be jazzed that a "proper actor" like Colin Farrell is in the lead, but from the trailer, it doesn't even seem like Colin was jazzed with the remake either. Anyway… back to the photos… Jessica Biel wore this pink Christian Dior. With pockets! And lots of gaudy jewelry. And she fixed her hair a little bit. Look at that… no more bangs trauma! I have to wonder… Biel recently said that she and Justin haven't set a wedding date yet, and I kind of think Jessica won't get married until her unfortunate bangs are completely grown out. So, I do like the "side-swept" whatever you want to call it. And her hair looks healthy, and her makeup job looks pretty. Basically, everything from the neck up looks fine. As for the Dior… it's cute. It's sweet. The pockets are too oversized, and the cut of the dress is not flattering on Biel's body. And there's too much jewelry – I think Biel should have gone without the necklace. Overall, it seems like a "prom" look. And I wonder if Justin styled her. Kate Beckinsale wore this hideous Armani Prive. Kate loves a long gown for any occasion (it's her "thing"), but THIS gown? It's awful. And it's all about that terrible, cheap-looking print. Colin Farrell and his sister Claudine. Claudine is pretty, but that's an awful dress and those are cheap-looking shoes. Colin looks meh. My biscuits are all, "Blah." Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Robert Pattinson suspected something was “off” with Kristen weeks earlier Posted: 02 Aug 2012 04:34 AM PDT Yesterday, we covered much of the Twihard Meltdown 2012 news coming out of Us Weekly and People Magazine's cover stories this week. My take: Us Weekly, the outlet that broke the news, is aiming to get Robert Pattinson's side of the situation – they're setting him up to be the Katie Holmes/Jennifer Aniston of the breakup. People Magazine seems to be getting more leaks from Kristen Stewart's team, thus that ham-fisted attempt by a "source" to make Kristen into a poor, pitiful victim "lured" into a horrible situation by an evil man! Yeah. That version isn't really flying with me either. Anyway, I got the chance to read Us Weekly's full cover story, and I thought you might enjoy some more highlights:
[From Us Weekly, print edition] There's more about how Rob's friends are worried about him and how pretty much everybody who worked on the Twilight movies is now solidly Team Rob. Basically, it sounds like everyone is trying to build him up. You know what I think is weird? Despite all of the talk about Rob being "self-aware" and "trying to understand why Kristen did this"… I have to wonder why we aren't having a conversation about the always-fragile male ego. I don't know of ANY dude who would be able to go through this enormously public humiliation, having his girlfriend screw around and there are photos and everyone is talking about it – I just don't see how Rob or any dude could get past the enormity of it. It's not just cheating – it's a catastrophe that involves a billion-dollar franchise, millions of fans, and every single person knowing that your little girlfriend has a wandering biscuit. Do you know of any dude who could get past that? Meanwhile, if all of this isn't bad enough, Rob has to get into gear in less than two weeks and begin to promote Cosomoplis. The film is being released on August 17, and Rob already had a bunch of press and red carpet commitments for the days leading up to the release. There were some reports that he had already begun to cancel some stuff, but his rep tells People, "Cosmopolis is a film that Robert is very proud of and looks forward to supporting. No confirmed engagements have been canceled. Any reports to the contrary are inaccurate.” So, he's due at the NYC premiere on August 13, and a press conference the following day. Poor Rob.

| Lindsay Lohan went on a cracked-out shopping binge yesterday, because why not? Posted: 02 Aug 2012 04:33 AM PDT I'm assuming these photos are Lindsay Lohan's version of a cracked-out victory lap. Lindsay was photographed yesterday as she blew (ha) through several stores, including XIV Karats in Beverly Hills and Make Up For Ever on Robertson. I'm assuming The Canyons has finished filming, and that's why she was out and about? She's spending money that she doesn't have… maybe she's using someone else's credit card? Perhaps. It wouldn't surprise me. Anyway, the paparazzi got tons of shots of Crackie in her specially selected outfit. I don't get this outfit at all – it's like a crackie version of Julia Roberts' Pretty Woman-going-shopping outfit, right? Vivian wore a men's white shirt and her hooker mini-skirt. Lindsay is wearing a men's white shirt, completely demolished jean shorts and a busted hat. The shorts are particularly unfortunate, right? We can see straight through them, and I'm really not sure what we're even looking at. Is she even wearing underwear? Gross. TMZ has a story about one of Lindsay's old car accidents… remember when she hit a paparazzo back in 2010? I barely remember that, and I probably covered it. She gets into SO many car accidents, I tend to only remember the big ones, like when she runs over a baby or totals her rented Porsche and then lies to the cops about it. Anyway, Lindsay is blaming the paparazzo for standing there while she was driving, basically:
Eh. Of course she's not taking responsibility for any of it. Rule #1 of The Lohans: "It's not my fault. It's someone else's fault. And if someone tries to blame you for something, SUE." That being said, I don't really find this paparazzo all that sympathetic. Everyone knows that when Lindsay is behind the wheel, you just need to back the f—k away.

| Macaulay Culkin denies he’s addicted to heroin, so what’s going on with him? Posted: 02 Aug 2012 04:32 AM PDT
The last time we saw photos of Macaulay Culkin, looking incredibly thin and strung out in February, his rep issued an old-timey statement about it wasn’t true that Macaulay was unhealthy and how we shouldn’t gossip about him or something. At the time, his rep said “Macaulay Culkin is in perfectly good health. For Entertainment Tonight—or any other media outlet —to speculate otherwise is reckless, irresponsible and destructive. We implore them to discontinue the rumor.” That’s straight out of the 50s, right? Well Macaulay’s rep has issued another statement in response to The Enquirer’s sad story that his client is addicted to heroin, Oxycontin, and a cocktail of other dangerous prescription drugs. He says it’s not true, basically, but he uses such an old fashioned approach that it’s kind of funny:
[From TMZ] How old is that guy issuing the statement? There’s hardly any “responsible media” anymore, and you can’t just try and appeal to people’s sense of decency when it comes to repeating gossip. Plus, The Enquirer may have a bad reputation but they broke the John Edwards story and they’ve had a lot of scoops over the years. Let’s assume this is true, that Macaulay isn’t addicted to drugs and that he’s just very thin. Every time we’ve seen him this year he’s been photographed with a can of Red Bull. There are even photos of him from last week with a Red Bull. (We don’t have access to those photos, you can see them on this link, thanks to Sanna for pointing them out.) Being hopped up on caffeine constantly doesn’t make your eyes look glassed over and make you lose weight until your clothes are hanging off of you. Plus I’ve heard that Red Bull is an addict’s drink of choice, remember Demi Moore and her constant Red Bull before her breakdown? She was said to be chasing Adderall with Red Bull, and they’re both stimulants, which would explain how thin she got. Macaulay doesn’t look like a healthy 31 year-old guy with a simple Red Bull habit. Speaking of Demi, a few of you have mentioned it’s interesting that Demi’s ex Ashton is now dating Macaulay’s ex, Mila Kunis, and that Ashton and Mila may have bonded over their shared pasts with addicts as partners. It’s possible, I just doubt that it brought them together or cemented their relationship more than nostalgia for That 70s Show or basic lust. Also, I don’t think it’s fair to assume that Mila must have used too since she was with Macaulay. We don’t assume that of Ashton. I’ve known couples where one partner uses and the other stays sober and tries to hold the relationship/family together. It’s common. This is Macaulay on 7-3-10. He looked so much younger just 2 years ago. Macaulay held this “food drive” in February as a way to mock the stories that he was unhealthy. Photo credit: WENN and Fame    |
| Rielle Hunter wants a reality TV career, to rehabilitate her image Posted: 02 Aug 2012 04:26 AM PDT
[From Radar] Rielle needs to get on one of the Real Housewives shows, because she’d be perfect. She’d fight with everyone and be the villain without a single ally. Those bitches would put her in her place. Or maybe she could get a dating show with Kate Gosselin. Men would compete to stay single and get off the show, and two who are left would have to fight to see who ends up with Kate instead of Rielle. It could be called “Lesser of Two Evils.” Also, I never read Rielle’s book because I didn’t want to support her in any way, so I’ll just defer to part of this thoughtful review on Amazon, from reader Todd Bartholomew: “The beauty of ‘What Really Happened’ is that Hunter betrays herself as she really is. Even her worst enemies couldn’t have written a book that damages her as deftly as she slaughters herself.” And this woman wants to do reality television. Perfect.    |
