I was going to make fun of Kelly Osbourne for wearing this completely tragic mess of a dress, but I think she just wore it because the event was for Dancing With the Stars, and she wanted to look budget and ice-dancery to fit in. Still, this junk is not flattering at all. Kelly's figure is really cute, and she definitely looks toned and healthy. That being said, she can't just wear anything you know? She's still got to be conscious of dressing for her body type, and this dress just makes her look like hell.
Anyway, Kelly actually came out and spoke a little bit during DWTS's 200th show…? I think? I didn't watch it, I was watching a DVD of Poirot (it was good too), because I'm awesome. According to The Daily Mail, Kelly talked about how much she liked Bristol Palin. Bristol was "recreating" a dance Kelly did, and Kelly said: "It’s going to be really hard to re-interpret that because it meant something so much different to me. But with Bristol she’s got so much heart and that’s what I’m looking for, honesty and heart, she’s the only one who’s not a performer on this show, and she’s come on and she’s working her butt off and I’ve got so much respect for her." Here's a clip from the show:
And lastly, here's Bristol Palin. Is she getting kicked off this week?
Over the past few days, I've seen the trailer for the new Rachel McAdams movie about a dozen times. I don't if the publicity campaign is just targeting me specifically or women like me, but I'm kind of sold on it. The film is called Morning Glory, and in addition to McAdams, it also stars Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton and Patrick Wilson. It looks like it's part generic romantic comedy and part Working Girl/Broadcast News. I'm calling it: my mom will love this f-cking movie. And so will I, although I probably won't admit it.
Anyway, Rachel has already starting promoting the film, and she gave an interview to the New York Times that I found interesting - a rarity, because Rachel seems like an actress who tries really hard to give boring interviews. Anyway, Rachel says that when she was flying from Canada into an America, an immigration official began berating her:
RACHEL McADAMS, a 31-year-old Canadian actress who lives here in a house she shares with her younger brother when she's not off shooting movies, has long held a green card. She can usually cross the border to the United States easily, but a few years ago an American customs officer recognized Ms. McAdams and gave her a hard time.
"She kicked me to the curb," recalled Ms. McAdams, a slight, 5-foot-4 blonde. "She was tough. I had pink hair at the time, and she said, 'Don't dye your hair that color, and don't make any more stupid movies.' "
The actress was too polite to ask which movies the officer might be referring to. "I was just glad she let me through," she said.
In the eight years that Ms. McAdams has been making movies there have been few glaringly stupid ones. An exception would be her first Hollywood film, "The Hot Chick," a dopey comedy in which she played a high school cheerleader who switched bodies with Rob Schneider's small-time crook. Her résumé is notable for the wide variety of characters she has portrayed, ranging from the teenage queen bee everyone loved to hate in "Mean Girls" and the love-struck young woman in "The Notebook," her first major lead, to the sassy foil of Owen Wilson in the blockbuster comedy "Wedding Crashers" and a returning Iraq war veteran in an independent drama called "The Lucky Ones." In "State of Play" Ms. McAdams portrayed a high-energy blogger who helps investigate a murder, and in last year's "Sherlock Holmes" an old flame to Robert Downey Jr.'s pipe-smoking detective.
Next up, "Morning Glory," a comedy in which she plays a hotshot television producer who must rein in bickering anchors (Diane Keaton and Harrison Ford) while trying to increase ratings on a struggling morning news show. The film opens on Nov. 10.
"Being an actor you get to have so many lifetimes in one," McAdams said. "I like the comfort of home, the stability and security, but I also want to travel and do new things. Being an actor expedites that."
Ms. McAdams grew up in St. Thomas , a small town in Ontario; her mother was a nurse, her father a mover. St. Thomas is best known as the place where Jumbo the elephant, the pride and joy of the showman P. T. Barnum, was accidentally crushed to death by a locomotive in 1885. Like virtually all Canadians she learned to skate early, at the age of 4, and dreamed of future Olympic glory on the ice. She discovered her true vocation, however, when she was 12 and attended a performance by a children's theater group. "I told my mother that I had to be in it, that I would die if I wasn't," Ms. McAdams said, laughing at her precocious flair for the dramatic.
"I try to pick movies that I want to make, that offer a challenge, but that people want to see," she said. "Why do all that work if it's for naught? If you act and nobody sees it, is it still acting?"
She was attracted to "Morning Glory," she said, in part because it offered a chance to work with Mr. Ford, 68, who was riding high in "Star Wars" before Ms. McAdams was born. In the movie, her character cajoles the Ford character, a former nightly news anchor, to join her fluffy morning show after finding a loophole in his contract. "Harrison is so funny," Ms. McAdams said. "He has this amazing dry humor."
According to Mr. Ford the admiration is mutual. "It was really a pleasure to work with Rachel," he said. "She's a very rare combination of having a straightforward approach to the work, and yet there's always an emotional underpinning to her acting, which is often surprising, both in its correctness for the scene and its availability to her and those working with her."
Can you imagine being berated by an immigration official? About your career and hair style choices? Goodness. Someone was cranky. Other than that, I think it's cute that Rachel and Harrison like each other, because I get the feeling that at this point in his career, he doesn't really give a sh-t. But he cared about Rachel, so that's nice.
Here's the trailer for Morning Glory… is Harrison going to get some nominations for this?
Lisa Rinna only reluctantly came clean about the painfully obvious fact that she’d messed with her lips, comparing the spur of the moment decision to get silicone with getting a tattoo. Afterwards she admitted that the criticism hurt her feelings, and said that she wishes she’d never owned up to it. Now that Lisa has had her lips surgically fixed to something resembling their original state, (and now that she has a book and reality show to promote) she’s talking about them again. In this latest installment of Lisa Rinnna: the lip chronicles, she says that she tries to keep fake-looking magazine covers away from her tween daughters, and that she advises actresses to love themselves and stop trying to look like Angelina Jolie.
Lisa Rinna, who just confessed to undergoing surgery to remove her silicone lip injections, has become a big advocate of a more natural look, telling me, “I want young women to learn to love themselves. You don’t need to change anything especially your lips.”
As a mother of two beautiful daughters, Delilah Belle and Amelia Gray, ages 8 and 11, Lisa knows too well the pressure on young women and wants to make sure she sets a good example.
“I remove the cover of magazines when girls who have had too much plastic surgery are on them. That’s the last thing my girls need to see. All these young Hollywood actresses need to stop trying to be the next Angelina Jolie and learn to love themselves,” Lisa tells me.
“Trust me, now that I have removed the silicone from my lips, I feel sexier and Harry loves them. It makes kissing and something else much easier,” she giggled.
I would buy all this from Lisa if she admitted to getting her lips done sooner, and if she owned it instead of trying to forget she mentioned it and then bringing it up again like some kind of revelation. Still, I get the “damned if you do” talk about it “damned if you don’t” angle. She got lip injections, they made her look like she was smuggling hot dogs under her lips, and she felt self conscious and was sensitive about it. Good for her for telling other women to go easy on the plastic surgery. Does she also regret her bolt-on boobs? They look fake to me but they could be real.
Oh and when I googled “Lisa Rinna Boob Job” I came upon this story from this spring where she commented on Kate Hudson’s maybe boob job, saying “I think everyone needs to do whatever they need to do to make themselves feel good. And it’s nobody's business!” Mmmhmm. That’s much different than advising against plastic surgery now isn’t it?
Last night, Robert Downey Jr. was David Letterman's guest, and in addition to that, RDJ had a screening of his new movie, Due Date. These photos are from the screening. Since we so rarely do fashion posts about men, and since RDJ is such a dandy, I thought we'd analyze his outfit before we get to the Letterman stuff. First of all - this is kind of an unfair photo of Susan Downey, because the girl looks over it. She's giving a look like "THIS BITCH. I need a night off and a stiff drink." While I can only imagine how cool and fun it is being married to RDJ, I do think it would get a bit tedious after a while. Like, "Seriously, stop. Stop talking. Or I will shoot you in the face." Anyway, RDJ's fancy-dandy jacket. It's very pretty! Very few men could wear this and still look… cool. And handsome. RDJ is one of the few. Also: love his hair. This hair is one of his best styles ever.
Onto to RDJ's Letterman interview. As you can imagine, RDJ got some questions about Charlie Sheen and his antics. RDJ continued his attempt at radio-silence regarding other people's problems, but Letterman did get him to open up a little:
“Don’t get arrested.” That’s all the advice Robert Downey Jr. had for the troubled Charlie Sheen on the “Late Show” Monday night, pushed by host David Letterman to chime in on Sheen’s recent drug-fueled antics and problems with. Downey spent much of early adulthood in and out of jail and rehab facilities, battling substance-abuse problems and that pesky bad-boy gene. Letterman wasn’t going to let the connection go unmentioned.
“Do you know Charlie Sheen?” Letterman asked. “You guys are contemporaries, aren’t you?” The audience laughed a “we get it” laugh. “I have a feeling you guys all kind of grew up together, in the same part of L.A. Am I right about that?”
“We didn’t really hang out,” Downey said. “It sounds like we could’ve really partied.”
Letterman played to Downey’s vanity in an attempt to get him to open up, calling the now-clean actor “the shining example of how one can turn one’s life around and succeed as deserved.” Downey demurred. “He’s a grown man,” he said. “What am I gonna say?” The side of Downey’s mouth kept curling into a brief grimace. He shook his head, but it looked more like a twitch.
Letterman insisted — “Look at me!” he urged the actor to say — and finally, Downey caved.
“Here’s the problem,” he explained. “I start believing my own hype, and then I start thinking people need to listen to what I say and next thing you know my wife is miserable and the director goes, ‘He’s crazy. What is wrong with this guy?’ And as far as whatever example I can say to anybody else, I think the best thing I can do is just keep the plug in the jug myself and stay out of trouble.” He raised his eyebrows again — another quick twitch. Happy now?
I like RDJ's stance on not really talking about other people's problems. It would be… what's the word? I guess "sanctimonious" would fit, but that's not exactly what I mean. I think RDJ works as an example of a drug-addicted hot mess who got his act together, only because we're the ones saying that about him, and he's not putting himself out there as Mother Superior to all the little wounded birds of Hollywood.
Notably, RDJ has also refused to slam Mel Gibson over any of his junk, for much of the same reason. When asked about Mel a few days ago, RDJ only said: "I’ve known the guy for 25 years and he hired me when no one else would. So I think that’s enough said on my position. I love the guy.” Mel hired him when RDJ first got his act together for this final time - they did both Air America and The Singing Detective together. So Mel has RDJ and Jodie Foster on his side… power players, both. Ugh.
Last year, Brad Pitt dressed up as a character from Yo Gabbba Gabba for Halloween. This year, the Jolie-Pitts were in Budapest, and they still found time to celebrate, although there is no information on what Brad or Angelina wore. Us Weekly does have details on the kids though - the Empress was a "spring fairy" while Pax was a mad scientist, and Maddox was a chimney sweeper - in all-black, probably just like his mother. Is that a Mary Poppins thing, the chimney sweeper stuff? You know what I would love? If one year, the Jolie-Pitts would dress up like the Von Trapps from The Sound of Music. I want Zahara to be Liesl. Anyway, the kids got a special Halloween celebration, but Shiloh didn’t get to join in! Boo!
Boo from Budapest! Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s kids definitely got into the Halloween spirit over the weekend in Hungary, where their mom, 35, is currently shooting her directorial debut. Brothers Maddox, 9, and Pax, nearly 7, got crafty at school (Lycee Francais de Budapest), carving jack-o-lanterns with their classmates on Friday.
And, for their costumes, the famous tykes didn’t go for the store-bought variety. Instead, an insider tells UsMagazine.com, “the kids sketched out the types of costumes they liked” and worked with their nannies to make DIY getups for the big day.
On Sunday, the Jolie-Pitt gang had a “a little dress-up party” at their lavish rented home. Pax dressed as a “mad scientist in glasses and a cute outfit,” and trick-or-treated at the nearby home of a girl from his class, the insider tells Us.
Meanwhile, Zahara, 5, was “a spring fairy. She looked so beautiful, with flowers in her hair. She is such a girly-girl!”
Maddox wore an all-black chimney-sweeper-like outfit. “He is obsessed with black colors [and] loves the brush they carry,” explains the insider.
Where was little sister Shiloh, 4? Sadly down with a cold, the blonde, blue-eyed girl had to sit out the festivities. (Twins Vivienne and Knox, 2, didn’t participate either.)
The kids weren’t able to join their classmates for a special Halloween trick-or-treat walk through the city — but they had candy waiting for them at school on Monday, the source adds.
That's sad that Shiloh didn't get to go trick-or-treating. I bet the Empress lorded that over Shiloh. I missed one year of Halloween too- the chicken pox, if I remember correctly. When you're that young, missing an event like Halloween is like the worst thing ever. Hopefully, the other kids shared their candy with Shiloh.
I can't find any video clip excerpts of this so far, but I'm sure we'll be able to find some in the weeks to come. Apparently, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian just sat down for their first side-by-side television interview. The interview was done for ABC's new special, "All Access Nashville" and LeAnn is one of several country stars being interviewed. LeAnn is probably the most scandalous, though, and it's interesting that she ordered Eddie to do the interview with her. You can see screen caps here, at the The Daily Mail.The Mail also has some quotes from the piece - LeAnn and Eddie talking about how they fell in love, and how she likes being around Eddie and Brandi's sons because they share French fries with her:
She’s come under fire for being a ‘husband stealer’ and it seems all the criticism has taken a toll on LeAnn Rimes. The country singer broke down in tears as she was questioned about her troubled love life in an interview for ABC show All Access Nashville.
When interviewer Robin Roberts asked her what her lowest point was, LeAnn replied sarcastically: ‘Which one?’
In a preview of the show, set to air next week, she adds: ‘You’re going to make me cry.’
The 28-year-old is joined by her boyfriend Eddie Cibrian in their California living room. Eddie sat behind LeAnn with his hands on her hips as she leant up against him during the interview. The singer looked in a beige silky top over skinny jeans while Eddie was dressed in coordinating taupe T-shirt and jeans. The pair looked very much in love, laughing and smiling at each other as they spoke on camera.
But Eddie’s ex-wife Brandi Glanville might not be quite so cheerful about her ex husband’s comments. When asked what attracted him to the singer, he said: ‘We played catch right away and I knew she was the one because she almost tore my hand off.’
Eddie was still married to Brandi, the mother of his two children, when he met LeAnn on the set of made-for-TV movie Northern Lights in Canada last year.
Brandi, perhaps still struggling with the upheaval, as arrested in the early hours of Friday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence. LeAnn and Eddie have lately been gaining confidence about showing off their relationship in public. Yesterday Eddie even tweeted a picture of himself proposing on one knee to LeAnn. But she later explained it was a joke, tweeting: ‘@eddiecibrian and I were having a little fun. That pic was taken at Universal City walk right before a private event I did there earlier this month. Just thought it was too funny not to share a little “TRICK!!”‘
LeAnn also talked about becoming a stepmother to Eddie’s children, Mason, three, and Jake, seven.
Speaking from the kitchen while whipping up pancakes, the star joked: ‘The things I would never normally eat, like French fries, I have four or five of theirs and I’m good to go.’
She touches on her troubled childhood during the interview. In 2000, LeAnn filed a lawsuit against her father, who was also her manager, saying he had stolen approximately $7million from her. During the legal battle LeAnn met her husband Dean Sheremet, who was her backup dancer. The couple divorced after LeAnn met Eddie. She and her father have since reconciled.
The new TV interview follows controversy as LeAnn graced the cover of Shape magazine, later forcing its Editor to apologise to outraged readers for featuring the ‘husband stealer’. All Access Nashville airs on ABC News on November 10th.
Call me crazy, but this honestly doesn't sound so bad. Is the admission that Eddie fell for LeAnn when they were playing catch a little… cheesy and wrong and rude? Sure. But with Eddie saying it, it also feels like he's trying to make sure that LeAnn doesn't take the hit for their union alone. I also think that as a media strategy, this is pretty smart. A lot smarter than the constant tweeting and the "engagement" photos anyway.
These are photos of Britney Spears wandering around LA yesterday. Fame Pictures notes that Brit was not headed to her mothership, Starbucks, but was instead headed into Barnes & Noble. Barnes & Noble has a coffee shop too, right? I mean, most do. The one in my town does. So Brit decided to switch it up after the mothership refused her entry a few weeks ago. "I'm goin' to the book suppository, y'all! They have mah coffee!" Fame Pictures is also bitching about her appearance, saying that she "looked a slightly under the weather… Britney’s face was a red as well as a little swollen around her eyes and checks…as usual her hair was a mess with extensions sticking out and looking ratty as she wore a short pink lace top, no bra, with a pair of short cut off brown shorts." She does look tired and underdressed, but whatever.
In other Britney news, remember that bodyguard who was selling his story (through "sources") to The Sun? The bodyguard claimed that Britney wandered around her house naked, trying to lure her bodyguards into having sex with her in The Den of Cheetos and Lust. He also claimed that Britney abused her children. In any case, TMZ reports that Team Britney has asked for a protective order for Britney, against this bodyguard:
The people in charge of Britney Spears are asking a judge to protect her from a potential “shake down” by a former bodyguard who they believe could release info that may put Britney in danger.
It all has to do with a lawsuit filed by Fernando Flores, a former bodyguard who claims the pop star sexually harassed him by, among other things, walking around her home in the nude.
Flores wants the case tried in civil court — but Britney’s conservators are concerned that Flores will use the public forum to release private information to extort a settlement out of Britney.
In new legal docs filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Team Britney begs the judge to move the case to a probate court, where all of the accusations could be kept from the public … and protect her from a “shake down.”
The conservators also believe, “There is a real possibility that Ms. Spears will be exposed to danger by the release of confidential and personal information.”
A hearing on the matter is scheduled for the end of the month.
Do I think the bodyguard wants money in some kind of "shakedown" situation? Sure. Do I also believe that a few of his claims were true? Sure. But it's Britney, bitch. You kind of know that you're signing up to guard The Crazy. I think Team Britney is less worried about paying out and more worried about what information (and proof) Flores could possibly release.

Portia de Rossi promoted her new memoir, Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain, in an emotional appearance on Oprah yesterday. The 37 year-old actress candidly described what she went through struggling with anorexia and bulimia. The more Portia’s television career took off, the more disordered she ate, reasoning that she needed to lose weight to look good on camera. Some of the stories Portia told Oprah were incredibly heartbreaking, particularly one in which she says she was treated cruelly on a photoshoot in which she didn’t fit into the clothing. She also described how she would erratically exercise on the spot by running and jumping to try and burn off the calories from whatever bit of food she had eaten, including a few sticks of gum or some morsels at Thanksgiving with her family.
Portia de Rossi sat down with Oprah for an emotional interview about her anorexic past to air Monday.
“It wasn’t that I was proud of it,” she said. “But it was certainly a recognition for my self control. I definitely had some pretty amazing willpower to get down to 82 pounds. And that’s what I was holding on to. I didn’t think about anything else.”
Portia reveals that she ate only 300 calories a day at the height of her disorder, and E! reports that she attributes her food issues to anxiety over being gay.
We know her story has a happy ending, and that she found love and acceptance from her now-wife, Ellen DeGeneres. When Ellen and Portia discussed their relationship, I actually got misty-eyed.
Ellen explained on Oprah that she understood that Portia had a severe eating disorder, but didn’t realize how bad it was until she read parts of the book. “I knew it had been bad, but I didn’t know what it takes to get to that point. The insanity of the repetitious behavior and the loneliness and the hiding.” Ellen added that she hopes Portia helps others by revealing such personal and painful information. She said “She saves me every minute of the day. I don’t know what I’d do without her.” It’s clear that Portia feels the same.
I subscribed to Men’s Fitness through Zinio.com (which offers digital magazines through your computer and iPad) after two droll-inducing covers featuring Rob Lowe, and Charlie Hunnam. Men’s Fitness fails spectacularly for the final issue this year. They’re featuring the king of the shirtless douches, The Situation, on December’s cover. As long as the guy doesn’t open his mouth, he’s passable if you don’t focus on his face. Is that too cruel? I refer you to the Glee girls’ defense of making fun of the boys’ bodies on last week’s episode. Turnabout is fair play, and we know this guy regularly refers to women as “grenades.” If he wasn’t so stuck up his own ass I would find him much more attractive.
The article primarily focuses on The Situation’s diet and exercise tips, including specific ab exercises and lifestyle recommendations. The most interesting part for me were his “8 Fit Rules,” which are actually rather sensible.
The Situations 8 Fit Rules Eat every few hours. Aim for six small meals per day - three meals and three protein shakes.
Drink tons of water.
Choose lean proteins, fruits and veggies whenever you can.
Get six to eight hours of sleep “Sleep is when your body grows and repairs itself”
Avoid simple carbs and junk calories, includnig condiments like mayo and jelly.
Approach fitness as a long term lifestyle, not an instant transformation. Be dedicated, patient, and work hard for it.
Make working out your No. 1 commitment, because it builds the confidence and discipline you need to succeed in every domain of your life.
Give yourself one “cheat day” per week when you can eat whatever you want and recover from your training.
[From Men's Fitness, December 2010]
It’s common sense and not groundbreaking, but it’s nice to hear semi-legitimate diet advice from a celebrity that doesn’t sound like starvation or a fad. Maybe that’s part of the reason this guy is so successful. That and the fact that he’s able to score loads of chicks despite his permanent douche face. They’re all so mesmerized by those abs.
These photos are courtesy of Men’s Fitness, where there are more in the print edition. They also have exercise guidelines and more tips from Mike. Someone has to be interested.
Above is a photo of Kim Kardashian at a NJ Nets game on Halloween. She's wearing some kind of strange fur sleeve that I don't understand. It just seems to be on the one arm… like a fur sling or something. Does Kim have a problem with one consistently colder arm? And what kind of fur is that? What kind of fur also has weird feathers? Kim looks like she's molting into her new Armenian Barbie body and face. Ugh.
Kim Kardashian is recording an album. As in music. As in singing … TMZ has learned.
We’re told Kim’s recently been in the studio with top notch writer/producer/performer The-Dream, whose hits include Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”
So how’s it gonna sound? One person who’s been inside a recording session tells us, “Kim’s got a really good voice.”
No word on a song list, but a cover of “Baby Got Back” seems inevitable.
Do you think Kim has a good voice? Ugh… no. I doubt it. I think her "singing" career will probably be a lot like her "modeling" career. Here's a question though: will Kim f-ck for tracks?
