Cameron Diaz is still riding the A-Rod train, ugh

According to Us Weekly, LaineyGossip, Bauer Griffin and other media outlets, Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez have reunited. They're both in Miami, and they've been spotted going to the gym together and sunbathing on a yacht. So… did they ever really break up? Sources claimed weeks ago that they broke up when Camy came to the realization that she kind of hated A-Rod, and that they had nothing in common. Camy was then seen partying with Matthew Morrison, amongst other dudes.

Lainey thinks it's just a holiday hookup, and that Camy just went back for a piece. I hope so. I've said it before about Camy, though, and I'll say it again: I admire her game, even if I don't always care for her pieces. I respect that she just goes in, gets off, and leaves. So even if this is "more" than a holiday piece, I trust that Camy still isn't THAT serious about him.

Hot Guy Thanksgiving: Bow down your heads and give thanks

Since I plan to spend Thanksgiving in a vat of gravy, and Friday will probably be much of the same (with an added bonus of some kind of marathon of one of my favorite cop dramas), I'm doing a very special Hot Guy Friday, only this episode is called "Hot Guy Thanksgiving". It is for the men (and the dongs) we are thankful for. Note: "Very special Thanksgiving Edition" = not as many dongs. Sorry, peeps! I usually have a whole week to prepare HGF, so this one is going to be short. My bad! Anyway, our headliner HGThanksgiving is, of course, David Gandy. Gandy has now become the only repeat headliner - I think it's an honor well-deserved, because… you know… the hotness. Also note: Some of the really sexy black-and-white shots were done by Terry Richardson, a known pervert… although the shots are so incredibly hot that we might have to avoid name-calling for a few weeks, you know? Well done, Terry.

Mark Harmon is one of my silver fox crushes. We've had repeated requests for this particular silver fox, and I'm such an NCIS sucker, I gave in. He deserves it! He's been married to the same woman (his first wife) for decades, and he seems like a great guy. Plus, LeRoy Jethro Gibbs FOREVER. For the true Gibbs-loonies, I threw in a photo of the 'stache.

Kate Gosselin denies kids were expelled, says they’d ‘fall apart’ if the show ended

Posted: 24 Nov 2010 08:14 AM PST

kategosselin1
Kate Gosselin struggled to express an emotion other than “pissed off” and “disapproving” with her painfully Botoxed face during a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight. The topic was the story that two of Kate’s six year-old sextuplets were expelled from their private elementary school. In response to the question of whether her kids were expelled, Kate very snottily said:

On if her kids were expelled
Two of my children - No - are being tutored at home, with a teacher who is working closely with our kindergarten teachers in the school doing the identical curriculum.

The pressure was getting to them. We have the divorce anger mixed with that. They needed some breathing time. The goal is to get them back into school as soon as possible.

On dividing her time with Jon
We have been able to work out holiday time peacefully, so I will have the first half he will have the second half. We just take it year by year.

On if her kids miss dad
They’re understanding mommy lives here, daddy lives here. So we’re seeing some anger and some issues. Doing the counseling… everything that I can do.

On bringing the dog back
We’ve brought our dog back. They can talk to [the dog] he doesn’t talk back, they can tell him anything they want. They’ve told me this and so I had to bring him back.

On if she is dating
There’s been here and there, somebody cropping up. I just feel I’m in such a weird alter [sic] reality world that who walking in is going to be able to handle, understand, support and deal with all of that. And I’m not going to say that person is not out there, I’m just still, you know, looking.

On if she plans for more Kate Plus 8
Absolutely we have so much planned for Kate Plus 8, so many trips, so many adventures… My kids would fall apart [if the show ended]

Her kids would fall apart if the show ended? Doesn’t she mean that they’ll fall apart if she withdraws all attention and interest in them, as she does whenever the show is not filming?

Isn’t this woman interesting to watch? She doesn’t answer questions directly and just kind of skirts around the issues. It’s like she figures it’s not lying if she talks about it in vague terms. She never says “no, my children were not expelled” just “No” and “they’re being tutored.” We all know she was boning her married bodyguard, yet that long term relationship becomes men “here and there” and she’s “still looking.” She’s “still looking” for someone to take care of her when her TV opportunities dry up.

Here are a bunch of pictures of Kate from that video. Don’t you love her new poof?

Kanye West whines: “Taylor Swift never came to my defense at any interview!”

Posted: 24 Nov 2010 08:01 AM PST

NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 13:  Kayne West (L) jumps onstage after Taylor Swift (C) won the 'Best Female Video' award during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall on September 13, 2009 in New York City.  (Photo by Christopher Polk/Getty Images)

If there's any sure-fire way for me to find my way back to Team Swifty, it's for Kanye West to get on his high horse and bitch about her. My Team Swifty status has been in flux ever since the BS with John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal. I don't care for the way she's trying to front like she's this perfect little fairy princess with an emotional age of 13 years old, all while boning Mayer's douche dong and bitching about him lyrics, only to snatch up/beard for Jake G. There's a dichotomy there, and it's unflattering. But I will go back to my Team Swifty status, because Kanye West is absolutely ridiculous. Last night, Kanye gave a surprise performance at The Bowery Ballroom (that was very well received), and in between songs, Kanye did what Kanye does best: martyr himself. In the world according to Kanye, Taylro Swift is the bad guy because not ONCE did she defend him, post-VMAs.

Kanye West is still angry at Taylor Swift. At a surprise performance of his acclaimed new album at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom around 1 a.m. Wednesday, West, 33, launched another attack against the country star, 20, whom he famously ambushed at the 2009 Video Music Awards. During his rant, West seemed to suggest that the Speak Now singer used the VMA brouhaha to bolster her fame.

“Taylor never came to my defense at any interview,” West ranted. “And rode the waves and rode it and rode it,” he sniped of Swift.

Swift wasn’t West’s only target. The “Power” rapper also dug into Matt Lauer, with whom he recently tussled on the Today Show.

West charged that Lauer “exploited” him as they chatted about former President George W. Bush, who lamented that West called him a “racist” for his handling of Katrina.

Bush had said that West’s comment was a “lowest moment” in his Presidency; West also objected to the Today Show playing a video clip of the VMA moment during their Today Show interview.

“Because [of] the popularity of me, they exploited that…That’s not what he f*cking said!” West railed. “That’s not what he said! He said it was one of his lowest moments. But it shows you—the way they try to villainize, the way they tried to do that.”

[From Us Weekly]

What was Swifty supposed to say, exactly? "You know that douche who stole my thunder and made me cry? He's not that bad." What's worse is that Kanye is the one who keeps bringing this crap up! It's not even about Swifty anymore, it's about Kanye and his ego, and how he's the next Jesus or whatever. Ugh. Go to NY Mag's Vulture column to read more about Kanye's rant - here's an okay video of it too:

‘Burlesque’ is worse than ‘Showgirls’, critics say

Posted: 24 Nov 2010 07:28 AM PST

poster

Am I one of the few people that has never seen Showgirls? I just couldn't, not even for the sake of "camp". Which brings me to a side note - I don't think I have the "camp" gene, honestly. Like, I've never seen what the big deal is about Rocky Horror Picture Show. I've never thought "You know what would be fun? Showgirls!" I'm not saying this in a snobby "I enjoy real art" kind of way - I like fun, silly stuff that I don't have to think about. But the "camp" niche is not something that has ever appealed to me. So, with that in mind, I have absolutely no desire to see Burlesque, even though it looks "campy" especially with The High Priestess of Camp, Cher. I'm just… ugh. I think it looks absolutely horrible. Critics think so too - currently, the film has a 33% at Rotten Tomatoes. Bad, bad, bad.

The Daily Beast has a compare-and-contrast between Burlesque and Showgirls, considering their story lines are very similar. But here's something I didn't realize until I read Roger Ebert's review - Burlesque is PG-13, and there is no sex or nudity or anything sexy. Showgirls was supposed to be very filthy, right? Like, lots of nipples and… pool sex, maybe? I seem to remember something about pool sex and a lesbian motif between Gina Gershon and Elizabeth Berkley.

Anyway, if you want to read something more amusing than the actual Burlesque film, you should read Roger Ebert's take. Turns out, he has very found memories of Chicago burlesque houses, and he knows good burlesque when he sees it.

One last thing - Christina Aguilera has officially gone public with her new boyfriend, whom she met on Burlesque. A photo of the two of them is here. BUT HIS MOM SAID IT WASN’T HAPPENING!!!!

Whoopi Goldberg & Bill O’Reilly talk about their controversial fight

Before reading this latest story, I’d all but forgotten the incident last month where both Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar walked off The View during a heated discussion with Bill O’Reilly regarding the planned “Mosque at Ground Zero.” (I’ve put that in quotes because I’ve read that it’s neither a Mosque nor very close to the former site of the Twin Towers.) The conversation turned into a “Muslims killed us on 9/11″ argument and there was some yelling, during which Whoopi called Bill’s argument “bullsh*t.”

On The O’Reilly Factor, Bill and Whoopi where much nicer to each other and pretty much acted like everything was fine. They did discuss their viewpoints on the issue of terrorism and Islam, (Bill continued his “Muslims attacked us on 9/11″ argument and Whoopi said he was overgeneralizing) but were calmer about it despite their disagreements. Whoopi was promoting her latest book, Is It Just Me?: Or is it nuts out there?. Here’s some of what these two said and the video is above. (I’m not going to recap all the other stuff, you can watch the video if you’re interested.)

Whoopi Goldberg has apparently buried the hatchet with Bill O'Reilly.

The "View" co-host made an appearance on Tuesday's "The O'Reilly Factor," where the two discussed Whoopi & Joy Behar's "View" walk-off during O'Reilly's visit to the morning show last month.

"Here's what I want to know: what did you guys say about me after you left?" O'Reilly asked, in a preview clip posted by FOX News.

"I said that I thought you did not realize how hurtful…" Whoopi started to explain before the TV talker jumped in.

"You said that on the air, but I mean off the air," O'Reilly interjected.

"I said the same stuff off the air," Whoopi insisted.

"Were you cursing me out and stuff?" he asked her.

"No, no, I heard myself say the B-word, and that's when I knew had to get up," Goldberg replied. "Ooh, I had to get up child."

"After I left, were you and Joy mad at me?" the FOX News talker inquired.

"No, no. Because, at least for me, I know that if I cross a line, which I crossed, because I heard myself say something I had no business saying, I knew… I had to go," Whoopi concluded.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, in October, during O'Reilly's visit to "The View," he proclaimed that "Muslims killed us on 9/11," prompting Whoopi to lash out.

"My God! That is such bulls**t," an incensed Whoopi said at the time, before she and Joy walked off the set mid-interview.

Their political arguments give me a headache, but good for Whoopi and O’Reilly for getting along, as annoying as it is to hear them argue about this sh*t yet again. Then again, it’s probably the first time I’ve ever watched more than a minute or two of the O’Reilly factor at a stretch.

Whoopi and Bill went on to talk about the pitfalls of the Internet, and how people can hide behind screens and anonymity to be mean and bully others. They agreed on that point, and they didn’t say anything new or particularly interesting about it. It made them sound kind of old and out of touch. Maybe they have more in common than they know.

Jessica Simpson on her Tofurky dinner: “It’s gonna be jiggly & weird”

Even more Jessica Simpson stuff! I know, I know. But she's so easy to talk about and write about. Anyway, Jess was on Jimmy Fallon last night, and she said something that kind of amused me. According to Jess, Eric Johnson is the kind of dude who goes to see "healers". Hand. To. God. So, Eric went to see a "healer" and this dude told Eric that he needed to be healthier - that he needs to become a vegan. As you can imagine, Jessica in all of her Texan glory is struggling to understand what this mysterious "Tofurkey" is. Or, as Jess says, "It’s gonna be jiggly and weird.” Pot, kettle.

This Thanksgiving will be full of firsts for Jessica Simpson: her first with fiancé Eric Johnson, her first in New York, and her first with a tofu turkey.

“After getting out of the NFL, [Eric] went to this healer and is very healthy,” Simpson, 30, told Jimmy Fallon of her vegan husband-to-be. “For Thanksgiving we have to make a Tofurkey! It doesn’t sound right! It’s gonna be jiggly and weird.”

And while the singer, who just released her Christmas album, acknowledges that “when [Johnson] cooks vegan, it’s good,” she also admits that she comes from a very different background.

“I’m from Texas – I’d fry a steak,” she laughed. “We eat all casseroles and giblets!”

Dietary preferences aside, Simpson said she’s “very, very happy” in her relationship, and that Johnson proposed to her in the spot they met: her home.

[From People]

Poor Jess. I've known and loved vegans in my life, and I wouldn't wish a vegan Thanksgiving on anyone. The Tofurky is fine (not really), but what I would really miss is the ham. Sweet, delicious ham. Mmm…

By the way, these photos are of Jessica and Eric last night - I guess they were going out to dinner? I hate Jessica's puffy black jacket. It's very unflattering. And I still don't know why their body language is still so awkward. Why can't they just hold hands? Why does Eric have to crook his arm so it's like every day is Jessica's debutante ball?

DWTS finale: who won? (Spoilers)

Posted: 24 Nov 2010 06:30 AM PST

122709_3986
The finale of season 11 of Dancing with the Stars was billed as the most exciting and controversial ever. If you didn’t know that before watching it, hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke reminded the viewers how shocking the season was seemingly every 9 seconds.

In a finale stuffed with a lot of filler (at one point I walked away when David Hasselhoff was talking and came back a few minutes later to Florence Henderson dancing really poorly in a yellow turban), most of the season’s losing contestants came back, except Michael Bolton who was performing in London, and Audrina Patridge, who was reportedly sick, possibly suffering a bad case of SoreLoseritis.

122708_1950
The three finalists had two more dances to do for the judges’ scores. Half of the competitors’ final score comes from the judges and half comes from popular votes, which weren’t a factor in last night’s scoring. Only the judges’ scores counted, and Jennifer Grey led from start to finish.

Bristol Palin was the competitor who caused the most controversy, inspiring debate on her success all the way to the finals that was fueld solely by popular votes, because the judges’ scores put her at the bottom nearly every week. But fan votes couldn’t push her all the way to the mirror ball tropthy. She placed third, deservedly so. Her dance moves improved over the course of the season, and she loosened up a lot, but her performance just wasn’t mirror ball trophy material.

So then there were two: Jennifer Grey, who the judges drooled over most of the season, consistently giving her perfect 10 scores, and Kyle Massey, so full of energy and force of personality that overcame his sometimes technical problems.

After a really long suspenseful pause, Jennifer Grey was crowned the champion of Dancing with the Stars.

Jennifer’s win was deserved. She was the best dancer with a good attitude to match.

Kyle Massey has nothing to be ashamed of. If he’s smart, he can parlay his runner-up status into a much bigger career, either continuing with Disney or on his own.

What can I say about Bristol Palin that won’t be controversial? Nothing, so all I’ll say is TGIO, Thank Goodness It’s Over.

Dina Lohan is “trying” to bust Lindsay out of court-ordered rehab for Thanksgiving

Posted: 24 Nov 2010 06:16 AM PST

While you're gobbling down your mom's dry turkey (my mother hates juicy turkey, for some reason), stop for a moment and contemplate the total UNFAIRNESS of Lindsay Lohan's life. You'd think that spending years acting like a perfectly respectable crackhead and being in and out of jail and rehab and extending all of that time and effort on the worst kind of crack shenanigans would ensure that she would - AT THE VERY LEAST - get to spend Thanksgiving with Mother Crackhead, right? WRONG.

With the Thanksgiving holiday just two days away Lindsay Lohan's mom is still hoping that she will be able to spend the holiday with her daughter in their home state of New York, she tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.

"I am still trying to get her to New York to be with us for Thanksgiving," Dina told RadarOnline.com.

Although Lindsay wanted to join her family back east, it looks as if she is stuck in California for Thanksgiving this year, RadarOnline.com has learned.

"The judge has not given her permission to leave the state, in fact, she can't get permission until after January 3rd," said our source.

But even with the judges orders in place, Dina has not given up trying to be with her daughter and longs to spend time with her.

“I would love to have her with me during the holidays," Dina told RadarOnline.com.

But a friend of the star feels that staying in Los Angeles might just be the best thing for his close pal.

"She's been doing really well in rehab, and it's just better that she doesn't travel while's she's still working on getting better."

Meanwhile, the Betty Ford Center will be serving a buffet-style Thanksgiving dinner. The cafeteria staff will prepare turkey, ham, stuffing and all the holiday trimmings.

During dinner there will be a “Gratitude Celebration” where family members and staff take the opportunity to praise each patient and congratulate them for maintaining a sober and drug free life.

[From Radar]

Dina really doesn't think the rules ever apply to her or Lindsay, does she? The judge said Lindsay had to stay in rehab until January 3, but Lindsay and Dina are both experts at the crack hustle, so I'm actually kind of shocked their hustle hasn't worked. Also: why is absolutely necessary to have Thanksgiving in New York? I mean, besides the possibility to score some drugs from local dealers. Why can't Dina just celebrate in California, and actually exert the effort to be with her daughter on Thanksgiving through court-approved methods?

That being said, The Betty Ford Clinic seems to be buying some of the Lohan crack hustle, so I wouldn't be surprised if they allowed Lindsay to leave for 24 hours or something like that.

Lohan who has recently committed herself and household to a greener lifestyle reveals the AquaFree brush can make a great impact on a family's water consumption but brushing without water. She also added that even the 5 Lohan pups will be using the AquaFree brushes to keep their celeb pet pearly whites shinny as they plan to launch a pet toothbrush line next! Fame Pictures, Inc

Capri Anderson drops plans for civil lawsuit against Charlie Sheen

Posted: 24 Nov 2010 05:55 AM PST

capria1
Charlie Sheen’s latest hooker accuser, stage name Capri Anderson, has dropped a planned civil suit against the actor. Her rep tells CNN that she’s decided not to sue Charlie but denies that it has anything to do with Sheen’s extortion lawsuit against Anderson. It may have more to do with the text messages that were recently leaked, in which Sheen and Anderson allegedly try to work out a $20,000 payment from Sheen in exchange for Anderson’s silence about that fateful night.

According to Sheen’s rep, he never offered Anderson a payoff. The leak of these texts seems to prove otherwise. I would bet that Sheen’s camp leaked them despite their denials. Anderson is casual and friendly in the messages. She sounds more concerned about getting cash to replace her designer purse than being scared for her safety as she claimed in recent interviews. She writes: “u trashed my brand new prada purse dude not cool - how u managed to rip the strap off and put 2 holes in it is beyond me.”

What’s more is that Radar, which was the first outlet to get a statement from Sheen after the incident, had a story yesterday that Anderson spoke with Sheen’s ex, Denise Richards, prior to Sheen’s meltdown and told her all about her life as a prostitute. (Some would say that it isn’t an entirely unfamiliar lifestyle for Richards, although I’ll leave it at that.) Richards was of course at the Plaza hotel staying in a nearby hotel room with her two daughters that night. Sheen’s team is in overdrive trying to smear this woman, and that’s not difficult considering that she’s a porn star and a prostitute.

There’s still a criminal case pending against Sheen, however, and Anderson’s rep tells CNN that’s as far as she’s taking her complaint for now. “Ms. Walsh has thus, and for the time being, opted to consult the New York City authorities regarding the events of October 26, 2010… Through the process [of speaking out, Anderson] has experienced the natural emotions of many domestic violence victims, that of fear, anxiety and ultimately, a certain level of empowerment.”

Sheen’s lawsuit against Anderson claims that she stole his $165,000 Patek Philippe watch, and that’s what prompted his meltdown, during which Anderson was never in physical danger:

“Walsh admitted to several people that she had in fact stolen a very expensive watch from Sheen, and that she had given the watch to a friend to hold,” the suit said.

It was the disappearance of the Patek Philippe watch from Sheen’s hotel room that caused their evening to go bad last month, according to Sheen’s petition.

“Sheen asked Walsh to return the watch, and when Walsh refused and falsely denied that she had taken the watch, Sheen became extremely upset,” the suit said. “Walsh then locked herself in the bathroom of the hotel room and refused to come out.”

The lawsuit says that “At no time did Sheen assault, batter or threaten Walsh.”

She locked herself in the bathroom “because she was afraid that Sheen might find the watch on her,” the suit said.

[From CNN]

So did this woman steal a watch from Sheen, did he nearly choke her and did she genuinely fear for her life? We know that Sheen has physically harmed several former girlfriends and wives, we know that the room was completely trashed, and we know that the cops were called on the scene whether Anderson called them or not. Sheen’s people insist that she called a girlfriend, not the police, and in her interviews she never said that she is the one who called 911. The truth is probably somewhere in between Anderson and Sheen’s version, but I don’t doubt that she was scared for her safety that night. Anderson’s tears seemed real to me, although many of you vehemently disagreed and understandably question her motives.
