Miranda Kerr is a “certified health coach practitioner,” which is a thing now Posted: 09 Aug 2012 08:35 AM PDT Miranda Kerr has a sexy (ish) photo shoot with Terry Richardson in the new September issue of Harper's Bazaar. You can see the photo shoot here – the photos are slightly NSFWish. I can never tell if butt crack is SFW or NSFW. I will say, Miranda's body in bangin'. She looks lean and strong and sexy, and I like that she doesn't have bolt-ons, choosing to rock her small(er) boobs. There are also some really great boots in the shoot – I'm personally in love with Givenchy pair, although I would never, ever be able to walk in them. Miranda also gave an interview to Bazaar, which you can read in its entirety here. Miranda appeared on the cover of Bazaar UK a few months ago, and people are still pissed about her comments regarding epidurals – so it's interesting that she stays away from discussing childbirth in this interview:
I can't hate on her for any of this – mostly because Miranda seems to practice what she preaches, and because she really doesn't seem to be "judging" other people who don't follow her way of life. Maybe I'm reading this the wrong way, though. She was being interviewed about her diet and stuff, so obviously she talks about it a lot. But what about Miranda claiming that she's now "a certified health coach practitioner"? I've never really heard of that job before, so I had to look it up to see if it's real. It is a real thing – but it seems like the job is just encouraging people to eat better and exercise? You can get “certified” in that? Photos courtesy of Terry Richardson/Bazaar. |
Lady Gaga covers Vogue again: terrible, washed out & painful or ‘art’? Posted: 09 Aug 2012 08:03 AM PDT Lady Gaga covers the September issue of Vogue. Why? I don’t know why except that Anna Wintour might be wearing a meat dress underneath that fur coat — she loves Gaga so much. Gaga previously covered the March 2011 issue of the fashion bible, but now Gaga is evidently good enough for the September issue as well. Can you tell I’m a bit Gaga-weary already? Speaking of Gaga fatigue, we’ve enjoyed a bit of a reprieve over the past handful of months from Her Weirdness, but it’s rather obvious that she’s been gearing up for a return to the spotlight. The nude pool picture, the perfume ad, and the fact that Gaga’s been inexplicably rubbing nips with a cracked-out Lohan — all signs that our very own Pax Romana shall soon be drawing to an end. Now with Gaga covering Vogue for the most important issue of the year, well, I guess she’s as good as back. And the cover itself looks absolutely dreadful, right? Gaga looks all washed out, and the horrific wig plus unflattering couture gown aren’t helping matters. Here are some interview excerpts:
[From Vogue] Well, it’s a good thing that Gaga doesn’t want people to think she’s a “genius” when they listen to her music because I’ve never had that thought by any stretch. Of course, I do think she’s very savvy at manipulating her own image, and she’s got a good team around her as well. All the same, I’d like her to someday drop the artifice and stop feeding us a bunch of crap about “art.” It’s not because she “hate[s] the truth” that she puts on airs — it’s because she craves the attention. The attention, the money, and the fame. Photos courtesy of Vogue |
Kerri Walsh & Misty May, America’s Sweethearts, win gold for the third time Posted: 09 Aug 2012 07:58 AM PDT There were many Olympians and Olympic hopefuls that I was looking forward to supporting this year, but by far my absolute favorites were Kerri Walsh-Jennings and Misty May-Treanor. I fell in love with these girls in Beijing, when they trounced their competition in match after match, and then went on to win the gold for the second Olympics in a row. For the London Olympics, many said they were too old, facing too many injuries, and that the game was now all about the youngsters. Well, Misty and Kerri showed them. THEY WON GOLD!!!! Again! Last night, Misty and Kerri faced up against the other American team, Jennifer Kessy and April Ross, and Misty and Kerri were playing for the last time together. It was bittersweet and beautiful and it made me cry. I'm not saying Kerri and Misty were completely on their game the whole time at the London Olympics – there were a few sets where I was like, "Damn, girls, get it together." But they brought their A-game when it counted. One of my favorite match-ups was when they trounced the Italian team, and one of those poor Italian girls broke down in tears halfway through the set. I felt bad for the Italian girls, of course, but I had never seen Misty & Kerry make another team cry. It was amazing television. Anyway, I just think that Kerri and Misty are a different kind of "America's Sweetheart". No disrespect to the young Gabby Douglas (16) and Missy Franklin (17), but I don't really identify with them. I love Gabby and Missy, I admire what they've done, and I'm glad that they're getting an outpouring of love. But Kerri and Misty are different – they were defending their previous gold medals. They're closer to my age. More often than not, they both looked like they needed a stiff drink. RESPECT for the older Olympians, you know? And I loved that Kerri basically just burst into tears as soon as they started interviewing her after the game. She and Misty love each other so much. Here's their Today show interview this morning:
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Guess who else was at the gold medal match? Prince Harry. Of course!! Because if girls are in bikinis, sweating their asses off, Prince Harry is there. He's like the Batman of girls-in-bikinis. Harry was at the match with British Olympian Laura Trott. Who just happens to be a blonde, and sort of his type. She looks into it – I'm not sure if he's into it, though. You can see some video here, and here's a screencap. |
Was Taylor Swift dating Conor Kennedy before he even turned 18 years old? Posted: 09 Aug 2012 07:15 AM PDT Last week, we were inundated with reports about Taylor Swift's newest boyfriend, the 18-year-old Conor Kennedy. Conor is the oldest son of Robert Kennedy Jr. and the late Mary Kennedy, who committed suicide just a few months ago. Swifty seemed to be circling the Kennedy clan for months, and there were even rumors that she was dating Patrick Schwarzenegger, who is also only 18 years old – Patrick turns 19 in September, whereas Conor only turned 18 last month. I'm pointing out the difference in ages by months for a reason – because Page Six claims Swifty was quietly dating Conor before he even turned 18:
This is really similar to what happened between Swifty's friend Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber, right? Selena pounced on The Bieb when he was only 17, and she's more than two years older than The Bieb. The difference between a 17 year old boy and a 19-year-old girl is big enough. But the difference between a 17-year-old KENNEDY boy and a 22-year-old girl-woman like Swifty? That is huge. I'm sorry. I would feel the same way if the genders were reversed too, and a 22-year-old boy-man was going after a 17-year-old girl. What makes it even worse – in my opinion – is that Swifty is playing it like Conor has “swept her off her feet”. Please. That’s just gross. |
Liberty Ross wears giant crucifix to keep the homewrecking trampires away Posted: 09 Aug 2012 06:10 AM PDT Yay! We have access to new photos of Liberty Ross! Huzzah. These are pics of Liberty yesterday (Wednesday) in LA. She is not wearing her wedding ring. And the photo agencies seem to be in agreement: Liberty was headed to her lawyer's office. Perhaps that's the same office complex she was spotted entering and leaving for the past few days? Perhaps. Hilariously, Radar points out that Liberty is wearing this giant crucifix, because they'll keep "trampires" away. Yesterday, the reports were mixed about whether Liberty is ready to leave Rupert Sanders – some sources claim that Liberty is convinced that Rupert is "in love" with Lip-Bite, while TMZ and others pointed out that Liberty and Rupert seemed to meet for lunch at a deli a few days ago. Now TMZ says that Liberty IS meeting with a divorce lawyer, but she hopes to reconcile:
While I can't even imagine what Liberty feels like right now – with the two kids, in a city she doesn't like, with a philandering husband who bones his 22-year-old lead actress – I think I can safely say that Liberty seems like a much better person than me. I would be out for blood. I would be talking to the lawyers about taking it ALL. I would already be moving all of my crap back to London. But maybe Liberty is built of stronger stuff. I wonder if Laura Wasser is her lawyer? Wasser is one of the best divorce lawyers in LA, and Wasser has represented some of the most powerful women in Hollywood. |
Kristen Stewart pulls out of ‘Cali’ & a London premiere: unprofessional or pragmatic? Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:46 AM PDT Gah! There are 20 million new Kristen Stewart and Twihard Meltdown stories this morning. FOR WHY? What's surprising is how many of this morning's stories are not tabloid-related. Yesterday, we covered several of the reports in this week's tabloids, most of them revolving around whether or not Robert Pattinson would take Kristen Stewart back, or whether they've even broken up at all. I still don't know… but I tend to think they'll play nice until Breaking Dawn promotion is over, don't you? Meanwhile, here are some of the stories floating around: *Shortly after the affair with Rupert Sanders broke, Kristen seemed to score a part in the film Cali. Alex Pettyfer was circling the project too, potentially as Kristen's love interest. But! Gossip Cop says that Kristen is no longer going to appear in the film, and that Amber Heard has been offered Kristen's role. Maybe it was just a bad project (it didn't sound good, honestly), or maybe Kristen is just going to devote herself to making Sparkles love her. *Kristen has pulled out of the London premiere of On the Road, which was scheduled for August 16, a week from today. A source tells Radar, "Kristen won't be doing the red carpet for On The Road – she's too ashamed to show her face in public right now… she's running scared at the moment. There's also the dilemma of standing next to her co-star in the movie, Tom Sturridge. He's very close to Rob and Kristen thinks it would be awkward for her to promote the movie on the red carpet alongside him. Kristen is very proud of her work for On The Road, she grew up reading Kerouac novels and this is a production she always wanted to star in. If she appears at the London premiere, it will detract people from the movie itself and Kristen doesn't want that at all. She wants her performance and this film to be recognized for what it is – a great adaptation of a classic book." Is this unprofessional or simply pragmatic? I think it's both. On one side, it would have been a huge drama and "event" if she had come to the premiere, and she would have pulled focus in a bad way. On the other side… extra attention for the movie, and she would have made the professional move, you know? *Kristen and Robert appear on the cover of this week's Entertainment Weekly – I showed the cover yesterday. It's basically a preview of Breaking Dawn Part 2, and the interviews with Kristen and Rob were done at Comic-Con, just a week before the scandal broke. Kristen was full of it, per usual:
[From EW & People Mag] She doesn't want anyone calling her fake? Too bad. I think she's the fakest of fake bitches. She's always been this "affected" and trying-too-hard to be a hardcore, hipster chick. And considering she was in the midst of "faking" a loving relationship with Rob Pattinson while she was screwing around with Rupert Sanders… yeah. FAKE. And to end this on a nicer note, Sparkles has been receiving lots of gifts, flowers and chocolates from fans in the wake of the scandal. So what does Sparkles do? He donates them to hospitals. A source tells Radar, "Robert has been incredibly touched by the support he has received from the Twihards since news of Kristen's affair with Rupert broke. He's been inundated with boxes of chocolates, roses, notes that have slammed Kristen and asked how he is, as well as bizarre marriage proposals. However, his kind-heart has got the better of him, and in a selfless act he decided to send all the gifts he received to local hospitals and senior citizens' homes. Robert didn't feel like he deserved any of the presents and didn't want them going to waste. So, he decided to redirect them to places he felt warranted receiving such gifts." Nice. I bet he kept some of the chocolates, though. Sparkles has a sweet tooth, and he loves his M&Ms. |
Kathie Lee Gifford lambasted for implying parents of addicts are failures Posted: 09 Aug 2012 04:29 AM PDT
I was actually ready to defend Kathie Lee on this, since she was just speaking carelessly and you have to read into what she said to get the meaning. Then I read the whole interview and it’s clear that’s what she meant. She made another statement in which she says that parents are responsible for their adult children’s behavior:
I agree that kids need to be taught respect and manners, but that doesn’t translate to the assumption that all people who act rude had bad parents! You do what you can as a parent, and then your child grows up, leaves home and makes their own decisions. Kathie Lee’s kids just left home, she has no idea what she’s talking about when it comes to how they’ll do out in the world. Kathie Lee needs to put down the chardonnay and think before she speaks. Did you know Kathie Lee has a children’s book? Photo credit: WENN.com |
Did Jennifer Aniston dump Justin Theroux after he refused to commit to her? Posted: 09 Aug 2012 04:29 AM PDT As I mentioned yesterday, there are some rumors circulating that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are either on the rocks, or they've split up completely. I thought the rumors were just based on my easy observation that Justin was in NYC and LA for two weeks while Jennifer worked in North Carolina, and wasn't that weird because usually they're joined at the hip? That seemed to be the gist of the UK rumors about JustJen, but as you can see, Star Mag has decided to one-up the JustJen Breakup Rumors by adding some new layers. According to Star (via HL), Jennifer demanded a commitment, Justin was all "meh" and so Jennifer has had him followed while they're apart!!! Epic.
Don't you love how Jennifer's (alleged) spying is easily explained away? "To give her closure, Jen even had someone following Justin in New York while she was away…" It was FOR CLOSURE y'all. She was just mourning the death of her relationship by having her boyfriend followed while she was out of town. If it was any other woman, that action would not be framed in that way, like OF COURSE she had him followed, it was for closure, what do you want? As for the main part of the story – Jennifer demanding a commitment, Justin's hipster apathy… eh. I think Justin is apathetic, for sure. He and Heidi Bivens never got engaged or married and they were together for 14 years – I would be willing to bet that Justin is simply against marriage. But I do think it's unfair to paint the current version of Aniston as a fairy-tale-seeking, needy, "YOU NEED TO PUT A RING ON IT" type of woman. She's not Jennifer Lopez, you know. Everything that Aniston has been saying lately leads me to believe that maybe she's fine with not getting married too. And it seems like Aniston’s reps took this seriously enough to respond – I love what Huvane deems important enough to deny.
Hm. The “source” seems to know a lot about Justin’s whereabouts, right? Aniston totally had him followed. Basically, they totally could have broken up. Why not? Let's see if we can shame Justin into flying to North Carolina to prove his love!!! |
Princess Choupette Lagerfeld gets another mag spread: overexposed & try-hard? Posted: 09 Aug 2012 04:26 AM PDT OMG. Karl Lagerfeld allowed Choupette, his darling kitty, to pose for yet another magazine photo shoot, and he gave ANOTHER interview about his fluffy little princess. This is Choupette's second magazine spread in a week! A few days ago, I covered Choupette's extensive photo shoot with I-D Mag, and now here she is in Harper's Bazaar. Choupette is such a famewhore. She's so try-hard. Except that it's working! I love hearing about Choupette. I can't believe how jealous I am of this cat. Anyway, you can read Karl's full interview with Bazaar here – and it's definitely worth a read. It's ALL-CHOUPETTE. Here are some highlights:
Aw, you know what this is? Karl Lagerfeld has never had a cat before. He is a first-time cat person, and he's discovering the joy of cat-ownership. Except "ownership" isn't the right word. Choupette isn't owned by Karl. She is his life partner, his roommate, his little fluffy friend and confidante. Choupette is the daughter Karl never had. FOR REAL. |
Kate Bosworth confirms her engagement to Michael Polish in a Vogue blog Posted: 09 Aug 2012 04:25 AM PDT It's been a while since I've written about Kate Bosworth. It's not that there weren't new photos – The Bos can't go a week without being pap'd, you know. It's just that… The Bos is kind of boring these days. She's loved up with director Michael Polish, she doesn't have much of a career, and she's just… I don't know… so try-hard? Anyway, back in April, we had a lot of new photos of The Bos and Polish at Coachella. Some eagle-eyed commenters noticed that Kate and Michael seemed to be wearing wedding-y looking rings. A tabloid later claimed that Kate and Michael had already "exchanged vows" in some kind of Buddhist wedding ceremony, and while I wouldn't put it past her, I tended to think that if (and when) Kate and Michael get married, she'll really make it into a big deal. She'll try to score a magazine cover with her wedding. Here's further proof of my theory… Kate confirmed that Michael is "her fiancé" for the first time… in VOGUE. Because that's what private people do, y'all. They confirm their engagement in a Vogue travel blog. Here's the first paragraph of Kate's first-person blog post about Seoul, South Korea:
So, they're engaged. For real. She just said it in Vogue. How does this make you feel? Relieved that it’s not Alex Skarsgard? Mad that she gets her own Vogue travel blog? Jealous that she’ll be the slimmest bride ever? Well, I'm kind of happy for her. I hope that she and Michael are happy together. I hope she hustles the hell out of her wedding and drops little tidbits to People about who is designing her wedding gown and what her "something borrowed" is. Congrats, Bos. |
