We had a preview of Chris Pine's Details pictorial on Sunday, and now Details has released the complete interview and photo shoot. As I've mentioned before, I don't really care for Pine. He strikes me as a cocky douche. While reading this, I learned something that I think I had forgotten in a haze of gossip - Pine is taking over the Jack Ryan role in the next film - that's a role done by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck - does Pine have the chops? Eh. The full Details piece is kind of interesting. Pine works very hard at sounding intellectual, and he speaks with a kind of self-help-speak vibe that Jennifer Aniston would respond to. He also claims he wants to be the next George Clooney, and he admits that he's always asking his managers to fix him up with "starlets." Here are the highlights:
Pine on doing a six-week run of Martin McDonagh’s Tony-nominated pitch-black comedy The Lieutenant of Inishmore in LA: “My body’s all sorts of f-cked-up,” Pine tells me backstage after the show. “I tore my groin,” he adds. “I pulled my neck and my glute, tweaked my rhomboid, sprained my f-cking sacrum.”
Pine's family is in showbiz: Pine’s father has a list of credits so extensive that it’s a drinking game waiting to happen. (Quick: Name the only actor to show up on both ALF and Six Feet Under.) Since the 1960s, Robert Pine has appeared on Bonanza, The Bob Newhart Show, Charlie’s Angels, The Love Boat, Family Ties, Dallas, Baywatch, The West Wing, and The Office. For the most part, those were one- or two-episode gigs, the Hollywood equivalent of day-laboring. “My father,” says Pine, “calls acting a state of permanent retirement with short spurts of work.” Many, many short spurts in Robert’s case, with one exception: 139 episodes of CHiPs, a show Chris himself appeared on—in utero. “My grandmother was an actress too,” Pine says between bites of spinach salad. “In the thirties and forties she was under contract with Universal Studios. Crazy credits, lots of them. My dad was also under contract with Universal Studios. And my first film was shot on the same stage they both worked on at Universal. Crazy, right?”
His mom and sister are therapists: “I don’t think there’s anything better than talk therapy,” Pine says. “And the combination of acting and therapy makes a whole lot of sense.”
On aging: “I feel prematurely old,” he says. “I’m actually having this major belated quarter-life crisis. I’m turning 30 in a couple of weeks. I’ve been thinking a lot about mortality. A lot about what I’m going to do with my life and how to enjoy it. One of the things I’m going to work on is being more spontaneous, letting go, embracing the beauty of come-what-may.”
On vacations and not getting the part in Entourage: The last time Pine ventured into the realm of spontaneity he ended up vacationing in postwar Bosnia. “You could feel the residual tension,” he says, “the vestiges of what had happened. The energy. The bones of the country.” Pine concluded that trip in Poland, watching the sun set at the Birkenau concentration camp. Vinnie Chase he is not—though he did audition unsuccessfully for the role. In a couple of days, Pine tells me, he’s giving the whole come-what-may vacation thing another try. “I really don’t know where the hell I’m going,” he says. “I think it’s going to be a solo drive somewhere. I want to do some self-assessment and decompressing. I’m serious about working on that.”
What he really needs are some hookers: He has a tendency to intellectualize everything. “My therapist was very wise to that way of hiding,” he says, “and asked me to cut it out.” But the very behaviors that thwart breakthroughs on the couch—deflecting questions with questions, obsessively seeking definitions and etymologies for every clinical term—have a way of impressing on the set. Pine is even starting to question his own analytical nature. Questioning his own questionings. What’s it all worth? “I’m more cerebral than I want to be,” he says. “Sometimes I think I need to get crazy. Go to Vegas. Do some drugs. Get some hookers. Gamble it all away. And it never happens. I usually just end up at home on my couch—reading. It’s all just cognitive behavioral therapy for me. How do you change how you think to make your life work. I’m single and very happy about it. It’s a good time to be single. I have a lot of friends getting married right now, having babies. But I think I’ll be more like… the George Clooney.”
On dating: It’s been over a year since he’s been photographed with Audrina Patridge, late of The Hills, and though he says he frequently asks his publicist and manager to introduce him to starlets, he does suggest that their unified response—”We’re not a dating service”—is, in fact, modifying his behavior.
While I like Pine a little bit more after reading this, I have new qualms about him. Wanting to be like Clooney… in his personal life? Joking about picking up some hookers? Asking his managers to set him up with "starlets" like Audrina Patridge? Uh… sounds like he's a pretty typical douche (about women and relationships) who is steadily realizing that he needs to keep his kinks on the downlow if he wants to be a major star.

As if we really needed confirmation after People Magazine suggested it!Life & Style's Scene Queens claim that Kat Von D has officially dumped Jesse James, and she's not back with her ex Nikki Sixx. So why did she even go with Jesse? She was using him for press, and she was using him to get back with Nikki… because I guess Nikki would have gotten jealous of Jesse? Ugh.
Life & Style's Scene Queens can reveal that Kat Von D has not only dumped her controversial boyfriend after just two months, but she's back with her ex-boyfriend Nikki Sixx.
"Kat used Jesse to win Nikki back, and it worked," a pal of Kat's tells the Scene Queens. "She also was using Jesse for the press."
Kat, coincidentally, is promoting both her new book and TV show and was spotted out with Nikki on Oct. 5 at the House of Blues. Less than a week later, Kat was spotted with Jackass star (and rumored former flame) Bam Margera at Cleo restaurant.
When asked back in September if Jesse was the one, Kat said, "I believe he is, so yeah," but the once hot-and-heavy couple have not been spotted together since Oct. 3. "Jesse and Kat are definitely over. Done," a pal of Jesse's tells the Scene Queens. "He's in Austin, she's in LA."
Well… from what I've seen, Bam Margera is with a girlfriend whose name I don't know, so I don't think there's anything going on between Kat and Bam. But I think everything else is probably true. I'm kind of glad Kat was the one to dump Jesse - I don't like Kat or anything, but it's always nice to see a jackass like Jesse get dumped by some trashy girl.
Some days I'm very thankful I don't live for shows like Dancing With the Stars. I'm not trying to judge you people who do watch it regularly, or look forward to it. I get that you're busy, and that you just want to watch something silly and mindless, perhaps with your family. And watching minor "celebrities" dance is probably one of the least offensive things to watch as a family. So in that instance, no judgment. But - sometimes I really wonder why people keep coming back week after week, month after month to a crap show like DWTS. Take Bristol Palin's performance last night. It was… um… "TV Theme" night, and Bristol and her partner chose The Monkees. So they dressed up like gorillas. The performance begins around 1:40…
It's just… embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for her. I'll defend Bristol about some things, but this is not one of them. It's not just the gorilla costume, it's also that she's a crappy dancer and she didn't learn the moves. Ugh. Apparently, the judges hated it too, and she got the lowest score of the night. So she might be out this week. Oh, well. I guess she'll just have to go back to her "full time job" as a dental hygienist. Remarkably, she was able to get time off to do DWTS…? Huh.
Since we've already covered the worst and the Orange Goop of the Elle "Women In Hollywood" event, let's be nice and cover some of the better dressed women of the evening. I should admit something, though - some of these women I like so much, I don't even care what they're wearing. Although, I have to admit - the ladies who have been in the business for more than a decade (in some cases, more than three decades), they know how to dress for an event. They know what is appropriate, and they know they don't need a quick hit on a fashion blog that badly. Diane Keaton, up there with Harrison Ford, is one of my favorites. Her style is funky, but she's been doing it so long that I appreciate the fact that she keeps it real. She's not a ball-gown/cocktail dress kind of woman. Thank God. And Harrison looks cute too! I also loved what Annette Bening was wearing:
Classic, demure, age-appropriate, business-y, yet kind of sexy too! I want it.
I love Sofia Coppola's outfit too - little Elle Fanning's dress is kind of over the top and little-girlish, but hey, she's a young girl. Stephen Dorff looks great!
Go, I just adore Mad Men's Kiernan Shipka. She's adorable. And this is the perfect little party dress for a young girl. So sweet!
I kind of hate this dress on Kat Dennings - the fit is off, the color is off, the makeup is off. And yet… I still really like her.
I think Diane Kruger looks stunning. Great little dress.
Speaking of stunning, look at Jodie Foster! Great, simple dress, and she's not posing like a truck driver (like she often does). She looks fantastic.
I don't love Hilary Swank's dress. I find the whole thing kind of meh, especially the combo of her jewelry with the dress. Eh.
And finally, a little Jake Gyllenhaal. He was there to honor The Goop. He's been looking really good lately!
Shortly after Taylor Swift broke up with Taylor Lautner, there began to be a steady stream of rumors about Swifty and John Mayer. The two performed together a handful of times, and many thought that Swifty and Mayer were boning as early as January of this year, up until June/July of this year. Do I think it was true? Yes, I do. I think Swifty thought she was dating Mayer. And I think Mayer was probably seeing many other women besides Swifty. I also think they were having sex, and that the whole thing was probably devastating to Swifty. Now we know for sure (not really) - Swifty has a song on her new album called "Dear John" and the lyrics are basically saying that Swifty got dicked around by a dude named John. Magic!
Blogs are abuzz that Taylor Swift is targeting serial dater John Mayer on a new song, “Dear John,” from her forthcoming album, Speak Now.
Swift, 20 — who was romantically linked to Mayer, 33, last year while collaborating on his song, “Half of My Heart” — has penned the following lyrics:
“Dear John…”I see it all now that you’re gone Don’t you think I was too young To be messed with The girl in the dress Cried the whole way home I should’ve known. It was wrong Don’t you think nineteen’s too young To be played By your dark, twisted games When I loved you so. My mother accused me of losing my mind But I swore I was fine You’ll add my name to your long list of traitors Who don’t understand And I’ll look back in regret I ignored what they said ‘Run as fast as you can."
Though Swift hasn’t stated whether the song is about Mayer. she tells Access Hollywood, her lyrics “are all made very clear. Every single song is like a roadmap to what that relationship stood for, with little markers that maybe everyone won’t know, but there are things that were little nuances of the relationship, little hints. And every single song is like that. Everyone will know, so I don’t really have to send out emails on this one.”
I have mixed feelings about this, mainly because I really do think it's about Mayer and his douche moves. First of all, everyone warned Swifty about hooking up with Mayer, including her mom and her friends, and even the gossip blogs that note his every douche move. Yes, she was just 19 years old. But she was also an a–hole who thought Mayer would change if she loved him, despite all the evidence to the contrary. So even though I hate that Mayer f-cked with Swifty's head, I also kind of think this was a lesson she needed to learn, and she should be happy it didn't get dragged out like the Aniston crap. I also think Swifty is getting to the age where she might want to be a little more oblique with her lyrics - some of the best "screw you" music is stuff where you don't know who the girl is singing to, you know? "You're So Vain" still haunts me.
I'm kind of overdosing on fashion at the moment, so I took a break to watch the new trailer for Nicolas Cage's latest movie, Drive Angry 3D. Um… it's no secret that Nick is hurting for money right now, and that he - much like John Malkovich - is basically saying "yes" to every script that gets sent his way. I get that. But I also get that Nick probably would have said "yes" to this junk even if he didn't need the money, just because Nick has surprisingly horrible taste in scripts. This one looks absolutely hideous. It goes beyond violence porn. This is an orgy of dumb destruction just for the hell of it. And Nick is bringing down two solid character actors with him: William Fichtner and Billy Burke. Sigh… this sucks so hard, it's almost funny:
Was Nicolas Cage's turn as a homicidal, drug-addled, lizard-imagining crooked cop with a heart of gold in Bad Lieutenant just a touch too realistic for you? Well, here comes Drive Angry 3D, and what may be the batshit craziest Nicolas Cage character in a long, proud history of batsh-t crazy Nicolas Cage characters. Our hero plays a muscle-car enthusiast who has to escape hell (literally!) in order to save his infant granddaughter from a villainous cult, and the movie's new trailer is just chock-full of explosions, creative murders, terrible-on-purpose one-liners, wobbly Matrix-like supernatural visual effects, and all other manners of WTF moments. Does it feel really contrived, like a couple of well-connected producers — after staying up all night drinking soju and watching Wild at Heart over and over again — decided they absolutely had to make a movie where Nicolas Cage pushes his nutso persona to its absolute breaking point, and then worked backward from there? Absolutely! But is that so wrong?
Seriously, who thinks of this sh-t? What is the pitch? "A man leaves hell to save his granddaughter only to be trailed by one of Satan's minions, all whilst uttering cheese-tastic lines? Oh, Nick. How the not-so-mighty have fallen even further.

Last week there was a big controversy over the fact that Whoopi and Joy walked off The View while Bill O’Reilly was a guest. The topic was the proposed “Mosque at Ground Zero,” (which is neither a mosque nor is it at ‘Ground Zero’ but whatever) and when the shouting started happening and Bill said “Muslims killed us on 9/11” Whoopi and Joy both hightailed it out of there, leaving Barbara Walters and the rest of the panel in a tizzy. On Monday’s View, Joy and Whoopi spoke out about the incident. O’Reilly also apologized on his show, adding that it was everyone else’s fault for not understanding that he meant something that he didn’t specifically say. He said “I assumed that most people would be intelligent enough to know that I was saying ‘radical Islamists attacked us’.”
Both Whoopi and Joy said on The View’s postmortem that they’re glad they walked off. Whoopi claimed that she was about to go off on Bill and needed to leave while Joy explained that she was “enraged.” Barbara noted that Bill had played them both and that he got a huge kick out of it. Here’s Radar Online’s recap, where you can also watch a video clip.
On Monday, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar finally had their chance to defend walking off the set of The View last Thursday in response to guest Bill O’Reilly’s controversial remarks about Muslims being behind 9/11.
Since the show last Friday was pre-taped prior to the walkout, this was their first chance to publicly address the controversy on their own show.
“On this show we always speak about standing up to bigotry, so I stood up,” Behar said.
“I had reached my saturation point,” Goldberg added. “I had enough. As soon as I said the B word, I knew to get up and leave. Because I knew what was coming next. I was going to cuss him out.”
As RadarOnline.com has previously reported, on The View last Thursday, O’Reilly said, “The Muslims killed us on 9-11.” Shortly afterward, an enraged Behar stormed off the set; Goldberg quickly followed her. The other ladies of the panel stayed on, and Barbara Walters scolded her colleagues for walking off.
Monday, Goldberg made no apologies; she said that O’Reilly needed to be more cautious in his statements because it’s a volatile time. “I”m glad that I left,” she said.
Walters countered that the country needs conversations without yelling and walking off. “You don’t walk out of your own home,” Walters chided her colleagues. “We’re used to Bill O’Reilly. He loves this. He loves to pull your chain. He loves to get you angry. This is just what he wanted.”
Responding to some critics who questioned if the entire scenerio was staged in a ploy to get ratings, Sherri Shepherd adamantly stated that it was not staged and that O’Reilly seemed “energized” during a commercial break. He promised to show the clip on his Fox show, The O’Reilly Factor, and said it would help the ratings for The View, Shepherd said.
Shepherd said that Walters told O’Reilly: “We’ve been doing fine without you trying to make our ratings.”
Shepherd added, “He knew what he was doing.”
The notoriously conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck said her staying didn’t mean she agreed with O’Reilly. Hasselbeck stressed that the terrorists killed us in the 2001 attacks.
Behar also brought up the Henry Fonda movie 12 Angry Men, cited the bigoted character played by Lee J. Cobb. She pointed out that the other jurors stood up to him. “I believe that was what I had to do,” Behar said.
“We are supposed to be civilized,” Goldberg said. “I know that had I stayed there, for me at least, it would have gotten worse. … He was so enraging and so disrespectful.”
“Bill loves to pull your chains,” Walters said.
Behar admitted her surprise at all the attention the incident attracted, saying, “Two girl comedians walk off in the face of a bully, and it gets to be all over the world. Interesting.”
During the interview with O’Reilly last Thursday, both Goldberg and Behar returned to the set to finish the interview after O’Reilly -prompted by Walters- apologized if he offended anyone by his comments.
Whoopi and Joy interview people for a living, they’ve been doing it for years, and they should be able to handle some ass who is known for being incendiary without getting all offended and storming off. Bill needled the crap out of them and he got the response he was looking for. The fact that they still can’t see that they reacted just as he hoped they would just serves to show why they would leave in the first place. I don’t like Bill O’Reilly and I don’t agree with his point whatsoever, but everyone knows how he is. If they don’t want to deal with his behavior they shouldn’t have him on the show.
Joy also talked about this on her CNN show yesterday. I like what her experts have to say about the issue. Here’s video of that.
There are all sorts of theories about why Christina Aguilera’s marriage to music producer Jordan Bratman is ending after nearly five years. Earlier this week we heard the rumor that Christina enjoyed random hookups with other women, something her husband was said to approve of or at least tolerate. A follow-up story in Bill Zwecker’s column in the Chicago Sun Times lends credence to those rumors with the claim that Christina is “incensed” by the stories and “believes Bratman’s friends are behind the leaks” about their sex life. To add more to the “Christina likes women” angle, there are new rumors that she’s hooking up with DJ Samantha Ronson, best known for being Lindsay Lohan’s on-off girlfriend. Christina attended Nicole Richie’s bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas last month along with Ronson and others, and she went to Hawaii over the weekend to attend a hotel opening, also with Ronson. According to paparazzi agency X17, Aguilera and Ronson are more than just friends:
A source very close to both Christina Aguilera and Samantha Ronson tells X17online exclusively that the singer and the DJ are taking their friendship to the next level.
Ever since Samantha went to Cabo with Xtina, “the two have been inseparable,” says our source. “I’ve seen them hanging out together. Christina Aguilera really lets down her guard around Sam. They’re very comfortable with each other.”
The pop star was even seen leaving Sam’s place late at night earlier this week AND she stopped by The Roxy on Sunday to see her new favorite DJ spin.
In June of this year, Xtina herself even told Company Magazine that she is “attracted to women.”
The singer also said the following to Out Magazine in May: “My husband knows that I get into girls. I think it's fun to be open and play.”
Is it a coincidence that Aguilera suddenly split from Jordan Bratman so soon after her Cabo trip (where she got even closer to Samantha)?
Our source also reveals that the twosome’s relationship is nothing like the one Samantha had with Lindsay Lohan. “Their relationship is different because Christina doesn’t create the kind of drama that Lindsay did.”
Just because XTina is hanging out with a gay woman doesn’t mean they’re necessarily more than just friends, but it does look suspicious. Now that she has an estranged husband to watch her son for her she’ll have plenty more time to party and go out. I have a feeling that’s what this split is about for Christina and imagine that she found domesticity cloying. Other theories about her breakup include her blaming Bratman for the failure of her latest CD, Bionic, with the NY Post quoting a source who claims “She feels that he held her back when she wanted to focus more on her career.” She just really lost focus and had no clue what kind of image or sound she wanted to put out there. It’s not her husband’s fault that her album tanked, although it was probably easy for her her to blame him for it.
As I just mentioned in the Gwyneth post, Elle Magazine's "Women In Hollywood" event was last night, and there was the motherload of bad fashion and hideous styling. My nominee for "Worst Dressed of the Night" goes to Kate Hudson up there, looking like she's totally in the bag. And I'm not talking about her dress. What's up with Kate? Is she getting all coked up or drunk before she walks red carpets lately? Because her appearances over the past year have been particularly bad, and I have to think she's on something to go out looking like this. And Rachel Zoe STYLES her!! And Zoe was at the event, for the love of God! Of course, this is how Zoe rolled:
Not the best, but Zoe styled herself WAY better than Kate. Sidenote: Zoe also looks a little "filled out" in the face, so I do think she's pregnant. Anyway, what the hell is going on with Kate? She was too tired (drunk?) to just pull back her hair in a bun? Ugh.
Other nominees for worst dressed of the evening… Kate's mom, Goldie Hawn:
I'm not a Goldie hater. But this is unflattering. Goldie still has a great figure, but she looks like she crawled out of the same bender as Kate.
Also - Molly Sims and Emma Roberts were at the event too. Because the two of them are like the new Eva Longorias. They will show up to the opening of an envelope. That being said, neither of them looked hideous, I just think both had bad makeup and both think they're God's gift.
We haven’t heard much from 90210 alum Shannen Doherty since her unsuccessful turn on Dancing with The Stars last season. She was on the 90210 remake for a few episodes in 2008 but was reportedly fired for being difficult to work with. There were rumors that Doherty was trying for her own reality show with her photographer boyfriend, but nothing came of that. Now Shannon has a new memoir coming out in early November called Badass: A Hard-Earned Guide to Living Life with Style and (the Right) Attitude. In a promotional interview with Parade magazine she explains just how different she is from the latest crop of actresses trying to out do her in the attitude department. It’s like she thinks she invented mean girl entitlement and that she did it with more panache and none of the credit. Doherty says she’s changed though, and that she’s learned from her past. Here’s part of what she said:
On her reputation “I have a rep. Did I earn it? Yeah, I did. But, after awhile you sort of try to shed that rep because you’re kind of a different person. You’ve evolved and all of the bad things you’ve done in your life have brought you to a much better place.”
Claims she wasn’t that bad “The irony is that, if I was doing the same stuff now, I wouldn’t be getting the attention. Like I never did a sex tape. I never didn’t wear panties and flash a camera. You sort of stop and go, ‘Wow, it’s sort of what’s acceptable now.’ And, then, they always have excuses. When I made a mistake, I would admit to it. These girls don’t seem to see their own mistakes, much less learn from them.”
On Lindsay Lohan “It’s such a horrific situation that I don’t even know what to say. I just have kind of tried to tune it out. I totally understand that it’s newsworthy, but it just seems so tragic to me. I mean, Lindsay’s dad giving a press conference at the end was just like, ‘Oh, my God.’ I’ve been acting for 29 years. My parents have never given a press conference, ever. It all seems so exploitative.”
Advice to Lindsay “I think that it’s still about having faith in yourself. You’ve hit some road bumps and maybe they made you fall down and you’ve got some gravel and asphalt in your face because things are that bad. But have faith because you can get better and you can become the woman that I’m sure you want to be.”
What badass means to her “Badass is a little tongue in cheek. But, at the same time, it’s very poignant because it’s sort of telling the things that I went through and the mistakes that I made when I was in my 20s. I had this amazing career in front of me and because of some things I did, my career really suffered. Thank God that I’ve had some second chances.”
“You can either be a bad girl in life, or you can become a badass. It means owning who you are and being compassionate and knowing when you’ve made a mistake and not repeating it. And, also not being afraid to kick some ass and take names.”
On people dissing her online “Perez Hilton has been very nice to me, so I clicked on his site recently to see some reader comments about me. The majority of them had really nasty things to say. I was devastated. So I called a friend of mine who said ‘Everybody has haters. It doesn’t matter how huge of a star you are. People want to take other people down.’ My mom has always told me, ‘You know what kind of person you are, so hold your head up high and just keep believing in yourself. But it’s hard, especially when you click on a bunch of haters.”
On Angelina Jolie being a badass “My book gives a couple of examples of celebrities I really admire who I think are badasses. One of them is Angelina Jolie. When she was in her 20’s, she had the vial of blood and the knives and everything. You were like, ‘Okay, she’s brilliant, she’s talented, she’s stunning, but what about the weird stuff?’ Now, you see the progression that she’s made as a mature woman. Angelina is an inspiration.”
Yes Doherty screwed herself out of gigs on 90210 and Charmed, got arrested in 1996 and got a DUI in late 2000. In her mind she’s not like Lindsay because she plead guilty for DUI and did her community service and probation without complications. The result for her career seems to have been about the same though.
39 year-old twice divorced Doherty also talked about her piss poor taste in men and how she was hoping to “save” some of the guys she was with. She added “like any badass, I think I’ve learned from my mistakes.” She never went to jail at least. I don’t think it makes her “badass” to do stupid destructive things and then follow judge’s orders. Badass is being yourself but not sabotaging your career.
Shannen Doherty is shown out on 6/17 and 6/26/10. How fake does her hair look? Credit: WENN.com
