| Dina Lohan: “It was hard for Lindsay to turn down ‘Inferno’” Posted: 15 Dec 2010 08:37 AM PST 
You know how Dina Lohan has been giving "exclusive" interviews to Radar all week? Yesterday, I joked that Radar was paying Dina in Botox, lip injections and meth. Yeah… it's no longer funny because it's so true. Mother Crackhead has given yet another interview to Radar, and in this one, Dina is singing the "My milkaholic daughter's career is doing just fine, and she was never fired from anything, ever" song. It is completely delusional, and I really have to wonder if even Daughter Crackhead approves of her mother's constant crack hustling: The real reason Lindsay Lohan is no longer slated to play porn star Linda Lovelace in a feature film is because she didn’t want to play a drug addict after what she’s been through, her mother Dina told RadarOnline.com exclusively. The Mean Girls star, 24, has had many other offers and is looking at scripts now, and has found two that she particularly likes, Dina added. Contradicting reports that Lindsay was replaced on Inferno, the story about Lovelace, Dina said: “She turned Inferno down.” Dina Lohan told RadarOnline.com that Lindsay simply didn’t want to come out of rehab and play a drug addict. The recovering actress is scheduled to be released from the Betty Ford Center on January 3. “The movie is about a drug addict and a porn star… it is hard when you are a serious actor with what she has been through, we don’t need that,” Dina told RadarOnline.com. “Lindsay was disappointed because she really wanted to do it, but she felt that it would not be good for her after what she has experienced. It was hard for her to turn it down, because it was an amazing role.” In May, it was announced that Lindsay signed to play 70’s porn star Lovelace in the independent film, Inferno. But given Lindsay’s recent history with drug abuse, the actress and those close to her felt it wouldn’t be a good idea to remain in the role. Dina told RadarOnline.com: “She felt it wasn’t right to take that role after what she had been through, and play a drug addict. She made the ultimate decision, she always does.” Although Lindsay won’t be starring as Linda Lovelace, she will continue to follow her passion for acting and remain in the movie industry - she’s just looking for the right role. “We are looking at scripts and she’s had a lot of offers. She has two in mind that she likes but we can’t say now what they are. We are going to take it slow right now.” But Lindsay is finally taking control of her life, taking her sobriety seriously and making some difficult choices to stay on the path to wellness - and it’s starting with her professional choices.
[From Radar] Sure. So Lindsay wasn't fired and immediately replaced with someone better looking, less of a hassle and less of a drug-addicted monster. And Lindsay has tons of options coming out of rehab, too. She's got scripts! And not just those porno scripts either. Of course, Dina. Let's just placate her until she goes away, okay? By the way, has anyone seen Ali lately? I'm truly concerned that these interviews are all some kind of elaborate Crack Hustle to introduce "the new and improved Ali Lohan" complete with plastic surgery and a room at the Chateau Marmont.

| Nicole Kidman: “I’m in a place where I just don’t want to take on too much” Posted: 15 Dec 2010 08:07 AM PST 
Nicole Kidman is one of those people I just enjoy. Do I make fun of her BotoxFace? Of course. Do I hold my breath to see what she's wearing? Yep. Do I read every single interview she does? Absolutely. Nicole is full of crap most of the time, but she's one of the most unintentionally funny celebrities out there. I want the best for her, I really do. And nothing pleases me more as when she is trying to convince me that her life is so charmed and special. For some reason, Nicole bring out my rage like, say, Gwyneth Paltrow, although there are "frozen, icy bitch" comparisons to be made. Mostly I just want Nicole to stop messing with her face and mostly I want to punch Goopy in her smug face. Weird. Anyway, Nic has a new interview with the Associated Press/HuffPo to promote Rabbit Hole - she was nominated for a Golden Globe for it, so things are looking up for Ol' BotoxFace. Nicole Kidman is giving audiences grief with her latest drama, “Rabbit Hole,” playing a disconsolate woman coping with the death of her child. Yet 10 years after one of Hollywood’s most-publicized splits, the breakup of her marriage to Tom Cruise, Kidman is in the happiest of places, with little to sob about. After a shaky few years when she made such duds as “The Stepford Wives,” “Bewitched,” “The Golden Compass” and “The Invasion,” Kidman is back in Academy Awards contention for the first time since back-to-back nominations for 2001’s “Moulin Rouge!” and 2002’s “The Hours,” which earned her a best-actress Oscar. Kidman also is a producer on “Rabbit Hole,” opening Friday as the first release from her production company, Blossom Films. She’s four years into her marriage with country music star Keith Urban. Kidman, who had a miscarriage while married to Cruise, now has a 2-year-old daughter with Urban. The family has settled so comfortably at their Nashville home that Kidman is not terribly inclined to rush out looking for work. “I’m in a place where I just don’t want to take on too much,” Kidman, 43, said in an interview. “It’s not about, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ve got to get all these things for myself,’ because I love being at home. But you know, my husband and my mother will say, `You shouldn’t just abandon your talent. You should still get out there and do some things every now and then, because you’ll appreciate that over the next couple of decades.’ And I suppose deep down, I know they’re right, because part of me could easily just keep nesting and staying at home. It’s really nice.” Kidman never seems to stay in nesting mode for long. She is preparing to shoot the HBO movie “Hemingway & Gellhorn,” playing war correspondent Martha Gellhorn opposite Clive Owen as Ernest Hemingway. Then she is signed for director Lasse Hallstrom’s “The Danish Girl,” based on a novel inspired by painter Einar Wegener, the first man to have a sex-change operation. Kidman also has a supporting role in Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston’s comedy “Just Go With It,” coming next year. All this comes on top of her own filmmaking chores, some only as producer, some to develop good roles for herself, always an issue for actors as they get older and choice parts dry up. Rather than playing it safe, Kidman seeks out edgy filmmakers – Lars von Trier, who directed her in an arthouse variation of torture-porn in “Dogville,” or Noah Baumbach, for whom she delivered a mercilessly raw performance in the sibling drama “Margot at the Wedding.” Likewise, for “Rabbit Hole,” Kidman brought in John Cameron Mitchell to direct, an unlikely choice for a somber drama given the outrageous sexual and social exploits in his previous films, “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” and “Shortbus.” Kidman clearly knows how to do smaller, more personal stories such as “Rabbit Hole.” The film earned her a Golden Globe nomination, and she seems a safe bet for her third best-actress slot at the Oscars. Based on David Lindsay-Abaire’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “Rabbit Hole” stars Kidman and Eckhart as a couple straining to save their marriage and make sense of the death of their young son in a traffic accident. A tough story to watch. Even tougher to perform in. “It was kind of like, why am I doing this? Am I masochistic? But at the same time, I felt compelled to tell the story,” Kidman said. “There’s no right or wrong way of navigating grief, and this is just a study, almost like a case study, of it, of two people and their marriage and their family, and how they somehow move through it. But they move through it moving toward each other rather than away. They say 80 percent of couples that go through this don’t make it, but I didn’t want to make that movie.” The movies Kidman does want to make are varied. She and producing partner Per Saari are looking for stories that need a helping hand amid uncertain times in the film world, when studios are interested mainly in the next blockbuster and filmmakers with challenging scripts are scrounging. “It’s not like some huge offices or anything. We have a laptop, and we make phone calls, but there’s just the two of us, and we just have a couple of things that we’re really invested in,” Kidman said. Among potential projects are a remake of Marilyn Monroe’s “How to Marry a Millionaire,” in which Kidman would not star, and a film biography of singer Dusty Springfield, in which she’s not sure if she would act. They have the rights for Chris Cleave’s novel “Little Bee,” a tale in which Kidman does hope to star about the relationship between an Englishwoman and a teenage Nigerian refugee who has undergone terrible trauma. Kidman, who has two adopted teenagers with Cruise in addition to her and Urban’s daughter, said she was able to hurl herself into the role of bereaved mother with little preparation. “It took me so long to get pregnant and have a baby, so I have enormous gratitude. I have two grown children with that enormous gratitude that they are healthy and sane and together and are great, great people. So my sense of knowing what I have, I’m not one of those people that needs to be reminded of what I have,” Kidman said. “But I suppose my compassion, my ability to just – I can weep when I hear the stories that people tell me of what they’re going through. So my heart is open to that because of this film, because I’ve kind of put my toe in the water, in a way.”
[From The Huffington Post] See? You never really want to punch her. Even when she's talking about her two older children like they're afterthoughts (sketchy) or when she's giving us a line about how she doesn't feel the need to work. Here's a tip, Nicole: people who don't feel the need to work simply don't. They disappear for a few years, and do whatever. Nicole works all the time. But don't you love this: "But you know, my husband and my mother will say, `You shouldn’t just abandon your talent.'" If Goopy had said that, she would have changed it to "My dear friend Deepak Chopra and my other best friend Barack Obama both called me yesterday and asked 'Why don't you work more? You are a glorious, amazing talent.' And I told them 'I can't grace you with my presence all the time, because I prioritize my children so much, you know.'"

| Matt Damon brings out his poor wife Luciana six weeks after she gave birth Posted: 15 Dec 2010 07:37 AM PST 
Everybody will probably end up seeing the Coen Brothers' remake of True Grit because, well, it stars Jeff Bridges and Josh Brolin and Matt Damon, and for goodness sake, it's a Coen Brothers' western! Why not? But that doesn't mean True Grit is a big awards contender - they got shut out of the Globes, but they'll probably end up with some critics awards and bigger nominations for the guild awards and maybe even some Oscars. We'll see. Anyway, last night was the big NYC premiere for the film, and the only star missing was Josh Brolin (boo). These are some photos of Matt Damon and his wife Luciana (Lucy), who just gave birth, like, six weeks ago. So cut her a break, you know? She's over this junk, and Matt clearly adores her, so let's tone down the "she hasn't lost the baby weight!" stuff. Personally, I think they look really sweet together. 
A little Jeff Bridges, for fun: 
Jena Malone walked the red carpet too - she's not in the movie, so I'm not sure why, other than she just wanted to see the film. Anyway, I just wanted to ask - what's going on with her? Why is she so drastically thin?

| Amy Adams in Marie Claire: “In my 20s, boy, I was a hot mess” Posted: 15 Dec 2010 07:08 AM PST 
Over the weekend, I was gently criticizing Amy Adams for wearing a hideous batwing Mouret dress, and I mentioned that my mom is Amy's Superfan. Like, my mom calls her "a princess" and yells at me when I say anything that might suggest that Amy is anything less than Cinderella (seriously, my mom calls her "Cinderella"). So I'm going to get hell for this, but Amy's Marie Claire cover shot is… not good. She looks pissy/weepy. I think Amy is very, very pretty. And talented, okay, mom? But this is not her best shot. What might be even worse, though, is the very un-Cinderella-like crotch shot below. Sigh… Cinderella could do so much better. But Amy is trying to change up her image - she does the Marie Claire interview while taking a pole dancing lesson. Full piece is here, and here are some highlights: On her innocent image: “I did one interview when I was pregnant, and the writer said he thought people would be surprised to know that I had sex,” says Adams. “I didn’t know what to say. I was like, ‘Excuse me if it takes a minute to process the fact that you think I’m asexual.’ Anyway, there’s something great about the world thinking I’m so innocent. Only it’s not true.” On being a hot mess: “In my 20s, boy,” she later confesses, shaking her head over a lunch of chicken and mashed potatoes, “I was a hot mess.” On pole dancing: “Some mom friends said it’s a good way to lose the baby weight,” she says. “And I’ll do anything to get off of that treadmill.” On her trashy role in The Fighter: “I had met with David about another movie that didn’t happen. Then he called about The Fighter. I was in Ireland doing the movie Leap Year, and he sent me 20 pages of the script. I was nearly on page 20 when I was like, ‘Wait, which part is for me?’” Adams says, laughing. “She was ready to play against type,” says Russell about choosing Adams. “A tough, sexy bitch. She has it and knows it, and she killed it. It opened up a whole side to her that’s exciting.” More about The Fighter: “What’s funny is that some people who’ve seen it have said, ‘Amy, you’re finally playing yourself!’” says Adams. “It’s not that she’s like me. It’s just that she’s less naive. My other characters haven’t been tested. She has been through it.” Amy on getting married: ” Darren and I would set a date, and then a project would come up and we’d push it. Then when we got pregnant, we were going to get married right away. And we will get married. But we didn’t want to rush and plan something just to do it the traditional way,” she explains. On her fiancé/baby-daddy: "Darren’s not competitive with me, which is great. That just wouldn’t work," she says, noting that things could change at any time and that one day their roles and profiles may be reversed. “We’re a family, and he’s really embraced his role as a father.”
[From Marie Claire] I love the "hot mess" comment. I was a hot mess in my early 20s too. Weren't we all? Also, Amy is really funny. In interviews, she's sweet but funny, but the girl has great comedic chops on screen too. I recently saw that film, Leap Year, with my mother of course. Because my mom will watch anything with Cinderella. Anyway, it wasn't as hideous as I expected, and Amy is completely watchable and adorable in everything. Ah, Cinderella.

| Ryan Reynolds is getting some interesting Alanis & Blake Lively rumors Posted: 15 Dec 2010 06:48 AM PST 
In the wake of Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds "duh" split, there are mixed signals about who did what to which stripper, and when the whole thing went down, and who is hurt and who isn't. According to many sources, ScarJo was the one who really wanted out. Even People Mag is going with that version, reporting: "According to a source, Johansson initiated the split. The actress has started apartment-hunting in New York City and is currently in Jamaica with some girlfriends, the source adds." Wow, way to make it sound like "How ScarJo Got Her Groove Back". Now Us Weekly has an interesting side note about the split - Ryan has been "reaching out to an ex" since the split. Alanis? Splitting spouses Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson won’t be spending the holidays with one another — but that doesn’t mean they’ll be alone. The new Us Weekly, out today, reports how Reynolds, 34, and Johansson, 26, are dealing with the “civil” end of their two-year marriage (UsMagazine.com broke the news on Tuesday). “Ryan has been reaching out to an ex the past few months,” a Reynolds pal tells Us.
Yet it’s purely platonic, the insider insists: “He is seeking comfort, but not in a romantic or sexual way.” Suddenly single Johansson, meanwhile, has “confided in friends.” As reported on Tuesday, it was the sexy Iron Man 2 actress who initiated the split. “She’s been unhappy for a while,” the source says, noting that the busy actors were force to spend too much time apart. In a joint statement released Tuesday, the duo confirmed their plans to divorce, and said, “We entered our relationship with love and it’s with love and kindness we leave it.” For much more on the split — including Johansson’s screaming match on the phone days before the announcement, their personality clashes and their last-ditch effort to stay together — pick up the new Us Weekly, on stands today.
[From Us Weekly] Do you think it's Alanis? She's pregnant and, like, engaged to that dude, Soul Eye or whatever…? Why would she mess around with GerbilFace Reynolds? Oh, but here's another rumor going around… Ryan and Blake Lively! Ryan and Blake worked together over the summer on Green Lantern (Blake was "the girl" in it). There were a couple of rumors that I remember from a few months ago, but those were just murmurs, not even validated by major tabloid reporting, and Penn Badley was in New Orleans with Blake for part of the time, and ScarJo was with Ryan for part of the time. Now E! News's Ted Casablanca is trying to clear Blake's name: Was it a sexy-overload when Blake Lively got involved?…That’s not the case this time. Sure, there’s plenty of denial from both camps on what exactly went wrong—saying the relaysh is ending amicably, with “love and kindness,” blah blah blah—and we don’t exactly buy it. But don’t get all gossip girlie yet. Trust, we heard rumblings that everything wasn’t exactly up to wedding vow snuff with Ry and his oft-canoodling Green Lantern costar. Blake’s a flirt—can you blame her? It’s Ryan Reynolds—but her Vice lies in a different department. If that helps you rest easy at night. Don’t expect this to be the last of the Blyan (hey, it beats Rake) rumors though. The press tour for the lame superhero flick is set to kick off post-New Year’s, and we’re sure the rumor mill will go crazy with B and R spending so much time together. And, classy as he is, Ry is sure to stay mum on the split, which, of course, will only fuel the tabloid fire. Blake must be thrilled. Now she gets to play the tabloid tango with two of the hottest Ryan’s in the biz. Ryan Reynolds vs. Ryan Gosling, anyone?
[From E! News] Interesting… and now that Blake has scored Ryan Gosling, she's all "GerbilFace what?" Because, let's face it, The Gosdong is probably much better for her career, honestly. Preferable to being seen as "The tits that broke up ScarJo and Ryan!" But I fear Ted is right… we'll be hearing more about Blake and Reynolds. They'll have a movie to promote, and Blake will probably see if she can get some added publicity for leaving one Ryan for another.

| Kate Gosselin lied - her kids got expelled for hurting an adult and other students Posted: 15 Dec 2010 06:44 AM PST 
Radar Online used to run a lot of flattering fluff pieces on Kate Gosselin, but it looks like they’re getting better information from Jon lately, because this new article will piss Kate the hell off. They claim that Kate lied when she told both Entertainment Tonight and The Today Show that in no way were two of her six year-old sextuplets expelled from their private school in Pennsylvania and were instead being homeschooled because “the pressure was getting to them” and “they needed some breathing time.” She also claimed that her children were having “anger issues” that were “normal” during a divorce and that she “mutually agreed” with school officials that the two who were having trouble, Colin and Alexis, would be tutored at home with the “goal to get them back into school.” All of that is a pack of lies according to Radar, which claims that the school wrote Kate a letter telling her that Colin and Alexis were no longer welcome there after two incidents in which an adult was hurt. They’re also said to have bullied other students.
Kate Gosselin lied when she denied her children Alexis and Collin were expelled from school, and RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that the situation is far worse than what has been previously reported. One of the expelled Gosselin kids physically harmed an adult at the school TWO TIMES, creating a situation that caused school administrators to believe they had no choice but to remove that child from school, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively. The nature and extent of the adult’s injuries are not known, but the situation was severe enough that it contributed heavily to the school’s decision to expel the children. RadarOnline.com has also learned that both of Gosselin children were abusive to other children in the school, creating an untenable situation. In a defensive move, Kate went on camera with Entertainment Tonight in late November and denied reports that her children Alexis and Collin, both 6, were expelled. But RadarOnline.com has not only confirmed that Kate lied — the children were infact expelled — but we’ve also uncovered the sad truth that the Pennsylvania private school said both children were physically abusive to classmates. On TV Kate was asked: “Let’s set the record straight. Kids. Two of them rumored to be kicked out of school. Is that true?” She answered: “No. Two of my children are being tutored at home.” That lie has deepened the rift between Kate and ex-husband Jon. “Both Jon and Kate were sent a letter from the head of school explaining that despite their best efforts, staff had reached a point at which they had to request the children enroll in another program,” a source close to the school told RadarOnline.com. “It’s clear Kate did not tell the truth.” Kate’s denial of their problems has left many people close to the school perplexed at the very least. “Both Alexis and Colin received three full weeks of intensive special treatment to focus their behavior,” revealed the source. “While the teacher was able to achieve some success, it became apparent to the school that the pair needed intensive assistance to help them with their social, emotional and academic needs. “The demand on the children’s classroom teachers — and the impact on other kids — was just too great.”
[From Radar Online] The article goes on to say that Colin and Alexis “can’t just be tutored, at home: these kids need to be integrated with other children. “Jon and his girlfriend Ellen take them to public parks to play with other kids and they tell them to go and make friends, because it’s clear they need to develop their social skills.” Obviously Jon is Radar’s source and he’s pushing his agenda. Plenty of kids do fine when they’re homeschooled and while I send my kid to public school I don’t think there’s anything wrong with homeschooling or home tutoring. Plus these kids have siblings so they’re obviously getting social time with other kids their age. One thing they don’t seem to be getting is consistent loving discipline, though. I can see Kate smacking and yelling at them (as she’s been photographed doing) but that just teaches the kids that smacking and yelling is how you deal with conflict. No wonder they’re having problems and lashing out when they have a mom like Kate.

| Mark Zuckerberg is Time’s 2010 Man of the Year Posted: 15 Dec 2010 06:14 AM PST 
Some people hate the end-of-the-year "best of" lists. Personally, I enjoy them. So while I don't really give a fig about People's Best and Worst of the Year issue (Sandra Bullock is "the most intriguing" and Kim Kardashian is on the list). But Time Magazine's Man/Person of the Year issue is always a must-get for me. And this year's "winner" is interesting… Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, is the Man of the Year. Why this year, you may ask? I don't really know. My only explanation is that it's because of The Social Network and Zuckerberg's very recent press-friendliness, his raised profile, and because he just gave away the bulk of his fortune. Time Mag's full package on Zuckerberg is here - there's an essay, lots of photos, lots of pieces of how Facebook changed the world, etc. Here are the basics: The guy with more friends than anybody has been named Time magazine’s Person of the Year: Mark Zuckerberg, the controversial, 26-year-old founder of Facebook, the newsweekly announced Wednesday morning. Winning the honor over such short-listed names as WikiLeak’s Julian Assange (the favorite in a readers’ poll), the Tea Party, the Chilean Miners, Apple’s Steve Jobs and Afghanistan leader Hamid Karzai, Zuckerberg on his own Facebook page describes his personal interests as “openness, making things that help people connect and share what’s important to them, revolutions, information flow, minimalism.” As Time tagged Zuckerberg’s on the Web site of the Today show – Time editor Rick Stengel made the announcement of Zuckerberg’s selection on the NBC morning program – “More than half a billion people on the planet live in a world created by Mark Zuckerberg. The good news is, their friends all live there too. Zuckerberg founded the social networking site Facebook in his college dorm six years ago, but 2010 was the year that Facebook reached critical mass, both in sheer quantity of users and in its presence (through its ‘connect’ features) all over the Web.” The profile continued, “Zuckerberg spent much of the year fighting privacy concerns, and this fall he had to shake off a movie that depicted him as an alienated loner, hacking to get girls. But the world’s youngest billionaire has no plans to slow Facebook’s growth, nor does it show any sign of stopping.” That movie is The Social Network, which, besides doing well at the box office, is an Oscar Best Picture frontrunner. In the past week it’s been honored, too – having been named Best Picture of the Year by the National Board of Review, the New York Film Critics Circle and critics’ groups in Toronto, Boston and Los Angeles. In addition, the movie and its leading man, Jesse Eisenberg, who plays a hard-boiled Zuckerman, received Golden Globe nominations. Time’s Person of the Year tradition harkens back to 1927, the year the magazine (which, like PEOPLE, is today part of Time Inc.) was launched. The first Person was aviator Charles Lindbergh. Others named throughout the decades have included Franklin D. Roosevelt (1932, 1934 and 1941), Adolf Hitler (1936), the American Fighting Man (1950), the Generation Under 25 (1966), American Women (1975), and, during their terms in office, Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, both Bushes, Clinton and Obama.
[From People] While I totally think Zuckerberg is a great candidate for Man of the Year, it also feels a bit dated, right? Why not two years ago? Why not four years ago? But still, if this is the face of The New American Entrepreneur, I can't hate it. He's young, he's brilliant, and he's not as douchey in real life as The Social Network would have you believe. And he's charitable! Good choice, overall.

| Nicole Richie confiscated guests’ cell phones before her wedding Posted: 15 Dec 2010 06:14 AM PST 
This is an event photo and is not from Richie’s wedding
This week’s OK! Magazine claims that Nicole Richie’s wedding didn’t go off without a hitch and was in fact pretty stressful for her. Nicole was asking around $100,000 for a photo and the way OK! tells it she lowered her asking price after not getting any takers. The pictures ended up in People, where Nicole earned a sidebar and not the main cover. (More on that in a moment.) At the wedding, OK! claims that her security people confiscated the cell phones of everyone in attendance in order to drive up prices for the pictures. What’s more is that several high profile guests begged off, among them Christina Aguilera and Kim Kardashian. Still, I hope it was a special day for Nicole and Joel. OK! claims it was far from it. Here’s part of their report: Nicole hungered to see her wedding photos on a national magazine cover. But no one would match her price. In the end, she was asking $100,000 for just one photo! “Nicole was clearly very paranoid about getting the best possible deal for the photos,” confirms an insider. “It was a big deal to her right up until the last moment.” And it put a damper on the actual wedding. The bride was so nervous that one of her guests might sell unauthorized photographs that she insisted on having all cell phones confiscated. “She was obviously trying to protect her paycheck,” sniffed one guest. “But it ruined the mood because it seemed like she didn’t trust anyone.” She also let the details of the wedding - organized by planner to the stars Mindy Weiss - overwhelm her. “Nicole changed her mind about everything from the food to the music to the people in the wedding party,” says the insider. “She claimed she wanted an understated, modest affair, but it ended up being a disaster for Nicole.” Her close friends were no-shows
Invited guests Kim Kardashian and Christina Aguilera (who was slated to sing) opted to work instead. She dissed her childhood pal
She invited Nicky Hilton, but not Paris, who catapulted Nicole to fame by inviting her to co-star on The Simple Life in 2003.
[From OK! Magazine, print edition, December 27, 2010] That’s cold that Richie invited Nicky Hilton but not Paris! There goes Paris’ claim that she was invited but had other plans. OK! is featuring the Kardashians with their “Holiday Miracle: We’re Having Babies.” Of course none of them are pregnant and they only plan to be some day. (I read the article, don’t bother.) Maybe the Kardashians’ asking price was less than Nicole’s, or maybe they just sell better than she does. Poor Nicole only got a “Nicole’s Wedding Disaster” sidebar. People was more generous with a friendly “Best Weddings” sidebar to their “Woman of the Year” cover with Sandra Bullock. Online there’s a picture of one of Nicole’s Marchesa wedding gowns (she had three designed for the ceremony) where Joel is kissing her and she’s backing away. Kaiser likes Nicole’s gown and thinks it’s unique, but I find the giant tulle skirt ridiculous and reminiscent of Bjork’s swan oscar dress. People has more details online of Nicole’s wedding, including the fact that her daughter Harlow, 2, was the flower girl and 15 month-old son Sparrow was the ring bearer. Richie calls the ceremony “magical” while Madden says “it was the best night of my life.” I wonder how much People shelled out for those photos and if Nicole and Joel broke even. Who am I kidding? You know Lionel Richie paid for the whole shebang and loved every minute of it. People cover via Cover Awards

| Teen Mom Amber is pregnant again and has no idea who the father is (update) Posted: 15 Dec 2010 05:55 AM PST 
Teen Mom’s Amber Portwood is currently under investigation for abusing her ex boyfriend, Gary Shirley, on camera in three separate incidents. Amber and Gary have split up, and Amber has taken up with several different guys, at least two of whom have criminal records. Amber’s two year old daughter with Gary, Leah, was briefly declared a ward of the state after Amber was charged with domestic violence. Amber has since earned back her custodial rights by moving into a new apartment and buying a bed for the toddler. To say Amber is an unfit mother is an understatement. She rarely interacted with her daughter and seemed to be either ignoring or yelling at her in footage shown on MTV.
All of that is background for this news that Amber is pregnant again and doesn’t know who the father is. It could be her current cage fighter boyfriend, it could be the guy she dated before him who just got out of jail (he wasn’t a sex offender and that was mistaken identity at least), or it could be Gary. She’s rooting that it’s Gary, since things worked out so well with him the last time. 
Just days after regaining custody of her daughter Leah, Teen Mom’s Amber Portwood has discovered she’s expecting another baby! In the Dec. 27 issue of Star, on newsstands Wednesday, we reveal the 20-year-old MTV star took a home pregnancy test on Dec. 4 — and it came back positive! “Amber is scared to death about what’s to come,” an insider tells Star. “She adores Leah, but she doesn’t really want to be tied down with another baby.” Amber’s baby secret was almost blown on Dec. 10 when she had her first bout of morning sickness. Luckily, her boyfriend, Clinton Yunker, in her hometown of Anderson, Ind., didn’t catch on. “He’ll freak out if she’s pregnant.” To make a bad situation worse, troubled Amber has been with so many guys in the past three months, she has no idea who the father could be. Amber is hoping that her ex-fiancé Gary Shirley turns out to be the father, says the insider. “She thinks they’re meant to be together.”
[From Star Magazine] Amber had a pregnancy scare back when she was with Gary, and the two of them went to the doctor together and were so relieved to hear that she wasn’t pregnant again. It’s not a shock to learn that she got knocked up by some random guy, it’s just sad. Amber is a terrible mom and I doubt that she’ll get as much help with her kid from the next guy as she did from Gary. Update: In Touch features Amber on the cover, with confirmation from a “friend” that she’s pregnant. Plus they claim she slept with 8 guys in 2 months. 
Here’s a very orange Amber out with her boyfriend, the cage fighter guy Clinton Yunker, on 12/9/10. They’re also shown putting up Christmas decorations with Leah the next day while filming for their show. Amber’s ex Gary, Leah’s dad, is shown holding her. Credit: Fame Pictures.

| Gwyneth Paltrow in Pucci for ‘Country Strong’ premiere: goopy, tragic or cute? Posted: 15 Dec 2010 05:45 AM PST 
Last night was the big LA screening/premiere of Country Strong, the poor whiskey-soaked, twanky musical that got SHUT OUT of the Golden Globes. Gwyneth Paltrow is a total pro, however, not deigning to allow her haters see her anything less than perfect. The dress is Emilio Pucci - I didn't use the photos where you can really see the left side of the dress, which has a dramatic hip-high slit. To be fair to me, however, Gwyneth didn't do a lot of posing with the slit all open and junk - you can see the back of the dress here. Also - should we talk about the slit? And how we now know that Goopy is going commando on the red carpet? I don't mind a slit, honestly. This dress reminds me of (whispers) Angelina Jolie's Versace at The Tourist premiere in NYC. Only Jolie's long-sleeved, white, slitted dress didn't make her look like a flat-chested box. (Whispers) like Gwyneth. 
Don't even ask me what's going on in this photo. Whatever it is, it's a tragedy. I don't enjoy saying that, because I genuinely like Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, separately and as a couple. But whatever Faith has been doing to her face is tragic. And Tim… well, that is a very unconvincing piece. 
Leighton Meester… I like you, girl, but just no. The dress is Dior, the fashion house that has become the go-to borrowed pieces for the red carpet lately. Unfortunately, people are flocking to what looks like the Spring collection, and the stuff is totally inappropriate for winter. 
And lastly, Garrett Hedlund. No leopard-print vagina! BOO!
