SAG nominations: Kidman, Firth, Portman, Bale and more!

Posted: 16 Dec 2010 08:38 AM PST

The SAG nominations came out this morning! Sorry, I completely forgot about them. Probably because unlike the Golden Globes, there were no major "Holy hell, Angelina Jolie got a nom!" surprises. And because they take up so much space, and the list is crazy long, I'm not including the list of SAG nominations for television, but you can see the full list here, at Deadline. Here's the list of film Screen Actors Guild Award nominations:

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role
JEFF BRIDGES / Rooster Cogburn – "TRUE GRIT" (Paramount Pictures)
ROBERT DUVALL / Felix Bush - “GET LOW" (Sony Pictures Classics)
JESSE EISENBERG / Mark Zuckerberg - “THE SOCIAL NETWORK”
COLIN FIRTH / King George VI - “THE KING'S SPEECH” (The Weinstein Company)
JAMES FRANCO / Aron Ralston - “127 HOURS” (Fox Searchlight Pictures)

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role
ANNETTE BENING / Nic - “THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT" (Focus Features)
NICOLE KIDMAN / Becca – "RABBIT HOLE" (Lionsgate)
JENNIFER LAWRENCE / Ree Dolly – "WINTER'S BONE" (Roadside Attractions)
NATALIE PORTMAN / Nina Sayers – "BLACK SWAN" (Fox Searchlight Pictures)
HILARY SWANK / Betty Anne Waters – "CONVICTION" (Fox Searchlight Pictures)

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role
CHRISTIAN BALE / Dicky Eklund – "THE FIGHTER" (Paramount Pictures)
JOHN HAWKES / Teardrop – "WINTER'S BONE" (Roadside Attractions)
JEREMY RENNER / James Coughlin – "THE TOWN" (Warner Bros. Pictures)
MARK RUFFALO / Paul – "THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT" (Focus Features)
GEOFFREY RUSH / Lionel Logue – "THE KING'S SPEECH"

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role
AMY ADAMS / Charlene Fleming – "THE FIGHTER" (Paramount Pictures)
HELENA BONHAM CARTER / Queen Elizabeth – "THE KING'S SPEECH"
MILA KUNIS / Lily – "BLACK SWAN" (Fox Searchlight Pictures)
MELISSA LEO / Alice Ward – "THE FIGHTER" (Paramount Pictures)
HAILEE STEINFELD / Mattie Ross – "TRUE GRIT" (Paramount Pictures)

Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture
BLACK SWAN (Fox Searchlight Pictures)
THE FIGHTER (Paramount Pictures)
THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT (Focus Features)
THE KING'S SPEECH (The Weinstein Company)
THE SOCIAL NETWORK (Columbia Pictures)

No Julianne Moore for lead. No Mark Wahlberg for lead. No Halle Berry. No Andrew Garfield. No Leonardo. Why is there no love for Inception this year? That seems like a weird omission.

Yay for Renner, yay for Colin Firth, yay for Jesse Eisenberg and yay for the True Grit people. That's very interesting!

And totally yay for Mila Kunis, too. Will Mila end up with an Oscar nomination? The SAG awards are considered a very good harbinger for the Oscar acting nominations, so Mila is looking like a contender… for a nomination. I seriously doubt she has a real shot at the award, though. My money is on Helena Bonham Carter in that category. My second guess is for Amy Adams, just because she has so much goodwill in the industry.

My other guesses:
Lead Actor: Colin Firth
Lead Actress: Natalie Portman or Annette Bening. I'm hoping Bening.
Supporting Actor: Probably Christian Bale, but Rush is a solid contender too.
Supporting Actress: Amy Adams or HBC
Ensemble: The King's Speech (everybody loves the British actors) or The Social Network (probably because it's considered "the best picture").

Angelina Jolie’s bangs trauma & fuzzy cardigan: tragic or cute?

Posted: 16 Dec 2010 08:09 AM PST

I would have much preferred another appearance of red lips and teased hair, honestly. I HATE what Angelina Jolie is wearing for The Tourist's Madrid photo call. Perhaps Jolie is only sexing it up for the premieres, though, and she's trying to look "average" and "not sexy" for the photo calls with Johnny Depp. Once again, they're standing next to each other, but in these photos, they both look over it completely. It's not even like "oh, they're trying to not look interested in each other, because of The Gossip." This is like "if I have to look at your stupid dong sheath hankie one more time, I'm going to shoot you in the face."

But anyway, let's get to the fashion - Jolie is wearing black (sailor?!?) pants, a simple black top, and this absolutely HIDEOUS fuzzy elbow-length sweater, in a ghastly shade of buttery blah. Dear Angelina: WEAR A MOTHERTRUCKING JEWEL TONE. Oh, and the bangs trauma? Eh. It's not as bad as it's been before, but it's still not good. This blah, greasy hair might be the worst of the European tour.

You know what's super-disappointing? Angelina usually wins when she's doing business-casual gear. That's her strength, not evening or cocktail. This outfit just sucks.

Kevin Spacey doesn’t want to talk about his alleged homosexuality

Posted: 16 Dec 2010 07:47 AM PST

Kevin Spacey is (allegedly) gay. That's the "rumor" that's been going around for… God, I don't even know how long. I think I first remember someone (my mother) saying it when Spacey took his mother as his date for the Oscars. My mom: "That's how you know! When their mother is their date." But seriously, the rumors have been around for a while, and at this point, it's pretty much established that Kevin is a private man who enjoys the company of other men, but that he doesn't want to talk about it publicly, or come out of his "glass closet" as they say in the gay community. Anyway, Spacey gave an interview to The Daily Beast (full piece here), and the (gay) interviewer kind of went after Spacey about his sexuality:

Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, long the topic of rumor and innuendo regarding his sexuality, spoke — or refused to speak — about whether or not he is gay, in a new interview with The Daily Beast.

The interviewer, Kevin Sessums, is openly gay, and said the community has long welcomed Spacey as one of them — but asks Spacey why he, a noted gay marriage advocate, has not come out and returned the favor.

“Look, I might have lived in England for the last several years but I’m still an American citizen and I have not given up my right to privacy,” Spacey says, trying to stray from the subject. But when Sessums says that he does not believe one’s sexuality was a private matter, Spacey gets even more defiant.

“People have different reasons for the way they live their lives. You cannot put everyone’s reasons in the same box. It’s just a line I’ve never crossed and never will,” he says. Later, he asserts that not revealing his sexuality publicly does not qualify as living a lie.

Still, Spacey possibly alludes to the answer, saying, “Look, at the end of the day people have to respect people’s differences. I am different than some people would like me to be.”

The interview wasn’t all about Spacey’s sexuality — in fact, the thrust of the talk was about his new movie, ‘Casino Jack,’ which opens on Friday. Based on the crimes of former Republican financier Jack Abramoff — with Spacey playing lead — it chronicles the rise and fall of GOP donors, aides and Congressmen, including former House Majority Leader Tom Delay.

[From HuffPo]

I usually don't hold this opinion, but I think Spacey is completely correct. If he doesn't want to talk about it, he doesn't have to. He's never been one of those people living a fake heterosexual life for his fans who might abandon him if they learned the truth, and he’s not part of some dangerous cult who thinks they can “cure” gayness through barley water and intense tin-can auditing (coughTravoltacough). So, in my mind, he's not "lying". He's just not coming out and talking about his sexuality AT ALL. Would we yell at a straight person if they wanted to keep their sex life private? Nope.

But I will say this… the jig is up, Kevin Spacey. We know. And we don't care, honestly. We just want you to come back and make some good movies.

Winona Ryder has a ‘Mel Gibson is an anti-Semitic, homophobic drunk’ story

Posted: 16 Dec 2010 07:21 AM PST

I kind of love that Winona Ryder has been doing so much press for Black Swan, and for her upcoming role in The Dilemma, which comes out shortly. Our Winona is no longer a cover girl - at least for the major magazines. But she's been making some appearances in several magazines lately, and she's in the new January issue of GQ (full piece here). Winona says much of the same stuff she said to Elle. But I'm lapping it up anyway. The best parts are where she tells a really awesome/horrible Mel Gibson story, and when she alludes to her pill addiction. Here are the highlights:

The Mel Gibson story: "I remember, like, fifteen years ago, I was at one of those big Hollywood parties. And he was really drunk. I was with my friend, who's gay. He made a really horrible gay joke. And somehow it came up that I was Jewish. He said something about 'oven dodgers,' but I didn't get it. I'd never heard that before. It was just this weird, weird moment. I was like, 'He's anti-Semitic and he's homophobic.' No one believed me!"

On her role as the fading star ballerina in Black Swan: "I thought it was a cool parallel," she says. "Being replaced by the young thing. I know that definitely happens in Hollywood. It's harder to find good roles, and suddenly there's new girls. I'm at that age I've been warned my whole life about."

All she'll say about Johnny Depp: When she does allude to the elephants, it’s in passing, as if I wouldn’t know they’re there—she says things like “My first relationship was very public” (you don’t say!) and bats a set of eyelashes as dark and lush as marabou dipped in squid ink, then moves on, and if it’s a gambit it’s working pretty well so far, honestly.

On being out of touch: Ryder has been talking about certain aspects of contemporary culture that confuse her, as if she’s a time traveler—which she kind of is! From the last century! She’s still figuring out how to work her iPhone. She talks about TMZ but calls it TZM. She doesn’t know who Justin Bieber is.

On pill addictions and rehab: She says she’s never seen a reality-TV show, and she seems genuinely puzzled and horrified by the existence of Celebrity Rehab. “I mean, who would want to go through that, on TV?” she says. We spend a few surreal minutes explaining Celebrity Rehab to Winona; the paradoxical way Dr. Drew helps patients mind-warped by fame with everything that’s wrong with them except their desire to be famous; the ongoing struggles of Jeff Conaway, who played Kenickie in Grease, then resurfaced in Dr. Drew’s clinic, undergoing chew-your-arm-off withdrawal from painkillers in front of VH1’s cameras. “Yeah,” Winona says, “those things. I think they’re more powerful than people think. People think, ‘Oh, heroin’s the hardest,’ but pills can be… ” Didn’t you have sort of a moment with those? “I did,” she says, “but it was—I broke my arm in two places.” (This was in 2001, on the set of the Adam Sandler movie Mr. Deeds.) “For about a month, I had to take it. But then I just kept taking it for, like… maybe three more weeks. But the thing I do remember is that once my arm was okay and they were still there, you kind of like… ”

More on the pills, and the shoplifting incident: What I want to say is, Wait a minute. According to a probation report archived at the Smoking Gun’s Web site, when Ryder was arrested, police found a syringe, bottles of Demerol and diazepam, six Valiums, forty Vicoprofens, two Vicodins, two Percocets, a Percodan, and a morphine-sulfate capsule in her purse. In 2002, a Dr. Feelgood type named Jules Lusman had his license pulled by the Medical Board of California after an investigation determined that he’d “prescribed or administered controlled substances without good faith exams” to clients like Courtney Love and “E. T.,” which was short for “Emily Thompson,” Ryder’s prescription-pad alias. In an August 2007 Vogue cover story, Ryder actually blamed the whole shoplifting situation on pill-related “confusion.”

On Meryl Streep and aging in the industry: “It’s hard to imagine a time where Meryl Streep wasn’t the first choice for everything,” Ryder says, “but I was reading some article, and she said something like, ‘Yeah, when I was around 38, 39, I turned to my husband and said, “Should we just call it a day, or should we try to kick the can down the road?” ‘ It was so weird to me to think about movies without her in them. But a lot of great actresses have chosen that.” She’s thought about it. She wants to have kids. It’s the only thing that scares her about getting older, the thought of missing that window, and the other side of it: “If I wanted to have a family now, would I be able to come back to work in a couple of years?”

[From GQ]

I love the Mel Gibson story. I love that she told it. I love that she's a gossip about other celebrities, but she's still reticent about her own junk. I even kind of love the way she blows off her pill addiction. For the record, I think she's probably clean now, and for Winona, I believe that it's her business and if she doesn't want to talk about it, that's fine. I'm tired of people still beating up on her over the pills and the shoplifting. It's been nearly a decade - let it go.

Nick Cannon announces that he & Mariah Carey are expecting twins!

…Sorry, I was just thinking about possible baby names for Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon. BECAUSE THEY'RE HAVING TWINS!!! After playing games with our hearts, Nick Cannon has finally confirmed that yes, dreams do come true, and he and Mariah are totes having twinsies. Now we must think happy thoughts because it NEEDS to be twin girls. Totes.

It’s official: Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are getting ready for baby love times two!

On his 92.3 Now radio show Thursday, Cannon confirmed that he and Carey are expecting twins.

“In order for my wife and I to have our life, we need to be up front and I need to be able to share things with you and be real,” Cannon, 30, said.

“I didn’t even tell my wife I was gonna do this,” he admitted. “I’m probably gonna get yelled at for not getting permission…We are having twins!”

It gets even better, Cannon explained. During a recent White House Christmas special taping, an emotional Carey finally broke the news about the twins to President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

[From Us Weekly]

Of course they broke the news to the president of the United States first. Of course. Because President Obama needed to be the first to know about Sparklepony Glitterdazzle Cannon and Butterfly Creamsicle Cannon. I CAN'T WAIT.

Matt Damon doesn’t spank his kids, but does he spank his wife?

Posted: 16 Dec 2010 06:41 AM PST

Here’s a little throwaway article about Matt Damon in People, in which he addresses an upcoming scene in True Grit where his character spanks ~~his onscreen daughter~~ a girl with a switch. Damon said that he never spanks his daughters, and Kaiser and I had a little back and forth about whether Damon would spank us in bed. I’ve done it occasionally, and it can be fun but it’s not my thing really. I’d let Damon do whatever, although he strikes me as somewhat vanilla in bed. Like he’s not into kinky stuff but still knows how to have a good time. You know, I blame Kaiser for getting me to think this way. She has corrupted me so much. I now look at men on the street like they’re sex objects (and we have so many hot guys in Berlin - you should visit!) and try to imagine what kind of sex celebrities prefer. I love my job.

Anyway, here’s what Damon told People:

In a key scene in the new Coen Brothers Western True Grit, Damon, playing a boastful Texas Ranger, takes his costar Hailee Steinfeld – who turned 14 last week – over his knee and wallops her with a wooden reed. But that’s a long way from Damon’s real life with his four young daughters.

“I definitely don’t spank ‘em,” the star, 40, told PEOPLE at the movie’s New York premiere on Tuesday.

Attending the gala screening with wife Luciana, Damon said he and the filmmakers took precautions to make sure Steinfeld wouldn’t actually get hurt filming the spanking scene.

“It’s a scene in the movie that needs to be there for a whole host of reasons,” he said. “And so, they just put a big pad on Hailee. And we practiced. And I said, ‘Hailee, does that hurt?’ And she said, ‘I can’t even feel it.’ ”

The whole family got to visit Damon on location for the Western, which was shot in New Mexico and Texas and stars Jeff Bridges as U.S. Marshal Reuben J. “Rooster” Cogburn, the role that won John Wayne a Best Actor Oscar in a 1969 screen version. This new take on the tale more closely follows the 1968 novel by Charles Portis. (The singer Glen Campbell played Ranger La Boeuf in the earlier version.)

“They were interested in seeing the horses,” Damon said of the family visit to the set. “So, we got some pictures of them with the horses.”

At home, is it tough to control four young women running roughshod? “Yeah, it’s kind of nuts,” Damon says. “The alarm goes off, and [expletive] starts flying.”

[From People]

I love how he describes his home life “sh*t starts flying.” Lucy is a lucky bitch but I’m sure she puts up with a lot from Damon. He strikes me as argumentative, but that’s probably because he’s so good at playing angry. I bet he spoils his daughters and is a doting pushover dad.

True Grit is out in the US on the 22 of December and is said to be Oscar bait. It would be great if Damon could win another Oscar.

Angelina Jolie’s big hair, red lips, velvet jacket & silk pants in Rome

Posted: 16 Dec 2010 06:25 AM PST

Last night was the big premiere of The Tourist in Rome. I wonder why they didn't do it in Venice, where the film is largely set? Oh, right. There would have been a gondola red carpet. Anyway, keeping with the sketchy hair/goth clothes thing, Angelina wore shades of black for the premiere. This time she didn't go with sleeve-gloves, though, and opted for what looks like an interesting Carmen Marc Valvo black velvet jacket, loose gray-black silk (?) pants, big hair and red lips. I can honestly say that I don't hate this look in general - this is pretty much the way I "dress up" when I have to. My only real complaint is about the pants - they only look nice in motion. When she's standing still, they look lumpy and unflattering. That's the way it is with silk and satin. Also, the inseam is screwy.

I will say that much like the German premiere, Jolie looks tired. Too much travel? To much hustle? Too many kids? Whatever. My opinion: the red lipstick is notoriously hard to pull off, but she found a good shade. And the big, teased hair is preferable to her usual old-lady coif.

Oh, and here's Johnny Depp. Once again, Jolie and Depp didn't pose together in any photos I could find. Depp isn't wearing his "dong sheath" kerchief this time. BOO! But the suit is good.

Jessica Alba in Valentino at the ‘Little Fockers’ premiere: cute or terrible?

Posted: 16 Dec 2010 06:23 AM PST

Last night was the big premiere of Little Fockers, starring Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, et al. There is a new addition to the cast, though - Jessica Alba. She fancies herself a fashion girl, you know, she continued with this season's winter-white bridal theme, and wore a tiered Valentino on the red carpet. She's also changed her hair - it's darker, shorter and sleeker than her last hairstyle, and I hate to be a bitch (not really), but this hair ages her terribly. Also - her date was her husband Cash Warren. They are still my "wild card" entry for the next couple to split, although they looked tight on the red carpet. And the shoes are Louboutins, by the way. Can we call expensive shoes like that "stripper heels"? Because that's what they're being called.

By the way, remember Jessica Alba's interview in Elle Magazine, where she disrespected screenwriters with the comment: "Good actors, never use the script unless it's amazing writing. All the good actors I've worked with, they all say whatever they want to say." And then she also disrespected her directors too - from Elle:

"I know I haven't been swimming in the deep end with some of the movies I've done," she says. "I wasn't trying to. I knew what they were." Alba does, however, offer one clinical reason as to why these movies bombed. She whispers it: "First-time directors."

[From Elle]

Anyway, LaineyGossip has a follow-up on Alba's stupidity - she's claiming that Elle completely misquoted her, and that she never said anything like that. Here are some of the quotes coming out of Alba's Little Fockers' promotional tour:

"That wasn't true. Just so it's clear, films don't even get made and nothing ever gets a green light unless there's great material. That's always a #1 thing before you can get a director, actors or a studio even interested in anything."

"There was an article written recently where I was completely and totally paraphrased and things were taken out of context and mushed together. It was a four-hour interview that got condensed into a page and a half for a fashion magazine. When I was doing my first job where I was talking to dolphins in The New Adventures of Flipper when I was 13 – it was a fake dolphin, we had a great relationship [laughs] - when he would go off script, the dolphin, I didn't know how to. He would squeak and I couldn't squeak back. It took me like 15 years to learn to do that - and lots of therapy. Basically I was saying that I didn't have the courage and didn't really understand how to bring my own thing to the table and I would never veer away from the script, ever, no matter what. Even when actors would go off book, I didn't know what to say."

[Quotes via LaineyGossip]

If it was just one wonky quote in an otherwise boiler-plate interview, I might believe her. But the entire Elle piece was chock full of Alba-isms, meaning that she's a conceited, moronic bitch with little to be conceited about, and now she's throwing Elle under the bus.

Anyway, here are more photos from the Little Fockers premiere… Ben Stiller and De Niro look over it, but Dustin Hoffman is adorable. Also, Alba's bitchface was in full effect throughout the red carpet. Why does she look so pissed to be standing next to Robert De Niro, for the love of God? Also - don't even ask me what Teri Polo is wearing. God. And where's Barbra Streisand?!?

Teen Mom Amber says she’s not pregnant, attacks ex Gary and his new girlfried

Posted: 16 Dec 2010 06:13 AM PST

Yesterday we posted a story from both In Touch and Star Magazine that claimed that 20 year-old Teen Mom star, Amber Portwood, was pregnant with what would be her second baby. Amber has a history of lashing out at her ex boyfriend, her baby’s father Gary Shirley, and is under investigation for felony domestic abuse. She’s also a neglectful mother who pays very little attention to her two year old daughter Leah, as is documented on the show. The thought of this girl having another baby launched a very interesting discussion in the comments on sex ed in school and teen responsibility. I really enjoyed reading about your experiences and thoughts on this issue, and was so impressed by some of the things you wrote. (Props to OnceWas, MSat, and Shannon just to name a few.)

The good news is that Amber has announced that she is not, in fact, pregnant for whatever reason. It’s unclear whether she was pregnant and chose termination or if she was never pregnant this time. She just says that she’s not pregnant and that the “rumors are absolutely false.” So, did she cook up this story to land a tabloid cover at a crucial time for her career? It’s possible. Teen Mom 2 is coming with a whole new crop of girls from 16 and Pregnant, (they’re on the cover of US Weekly this week) and Amber could soon be forgotten. If only.

Teen Mom star Amber Portwood is slamming two new tabloid claims that she’s expecting her second child.

“The rumors are absolutely false. I’m not pregnant,” Portwood, 20, tells UsMagazine.com in a statement.

“I’m working hard to be the best mom to my daughter,” she adds of Leah, her 2-year-old with ex-fiance Gary Shirley. “I have no plans to have more kids anytime soon.”

After several weeks of living apart, little Leah was reunited with her mom Dec. 6 at Portwood’s new home in Anderson, Ind. (Portwood’s former home had been besieged with photographers and curious neighbors.)

Portwood “is so excited to have Leah back!” a source told Us.

[From US Weekly]

This just shows how irresponsible it is to make teen motherhood into the subject of a reality show. For as much of a cautionary tale that “Teen Mom” can be, it’s also making some very troubled dysfunctional mothers into young stars. At least in Amber’s case her daughter is getting more care and attention that she probably would without the cameras. I feel for that little girl.

Amber is not only a crappy mom, she’s also driving under the influence. She was pulled over yesterday for weaving all over and while she passed a field sobriety test it was obvious that she’s on way too much “medication.” Cops cited her for driving with a suspended license.

I had this whole story written and ready to publish when Radar posted a new story that Amber allegedly attacked Gary on Tuesday night for trying to win her back with flowers and texts while romancing another woman on the side. Amber befriended the other woman to see if there was anything going on between her and Gary, and when she found out there was she went over to Gary’s house and hit Gary and got up in his other girlfriend’s face. I thought Amber had a new boyfriend, that Clinton Yunker guy, but maybe she’s just as hot and cold with him as she is with Gary. This woman needs to get supervised visits with her daughter. She’s not fit to be with Leah alone.

Amber is shown handing Leah off her her mom (Leah’s grandmother) on 12/11/10. Gary is shown with Leah on 12/10. Credit: Fame Pictures

Gosselin kids want to stay w/ dad in small apt, mom Kate ignores them at the mansion

Posted: 16 Dec 2010 05:50 AM PST

We saw firsthand during Kate Gosselin’s guest stint on Sarah Palin’s Alaska just how much of a priority her children are for her. Kate ignored the kids and bitched and moaned about how miserable she was, threatening that they would be “Palins, not Gosselins” if they chose to stay behind and enjoy the camping trip that was planned for them. The Palins did plenty of fun activities with the six year-old sextuplets and ten year-old twins, making ’smores, collecting rocks from the river, and teaching them about wildlife. Kate would have none of it, and didn’t interact with her kids at all.

Dad Jon was initially the villain in this split, as he was taking up with any 20-something coed that would have him. Now that he’s settled down and Kate has shown her true colors it’s clear that he’s the better parent. His kids seem to agree too, and reportedly want to stay with Jon in his two bedroom apartment. It sounds like Jon is leaking these stories to the tabloids for sympathy, and we know he can be a passive aggressive manipulator, but his methods are small potatoes compared to Kate’s distortions and lies.

It's pretty telling when 10-year-old twins Cara and Mady and 6-year-old sextuplets Joel, Collin, Aaden, Hannah, Leah, and Alexis would rather sleep on pull-out couches and portable cots in Jon's two-bedroom apartment in Reading, Pa., than spend another night with Kate in their $1.1 million mansion in nearby Wernesville.

So, why are the kids so miserable in their mansion? According to [Life & Style] Kate regularly leaves the kids behind while she goes for pampering treatments in New York City. "Her hair and her looks are her top priorities," another source tells the magazine. Besides chasing fame, she's also been caught on camera spanking the kids in the past. "The kids are afraid of Kate," confirms the source.

Meanwhile, after going wild immediately following his split from Kate in 2009, Jon has finally cleaned up his act and settled into a regular 9-to-5 job working with computers. It's not glamorous but it pays the rent. And it affords him the luxury of doing fun, bonding activities with his children. "He's very hands-on," reveals another source. "He's taken them on nature walks, plays games and builds things with them. he also helps them with schoolwork and practices reading and writing with them. That's why being with Jon is so much nicer."

But back in September, Kate said on Live! With Regis and Kelly that her kids can't stand being at Jon's place because it doesn't feel like home. "I basically wait for the phone call from how many of them want to come home," she said. Considering she lied to Today about Collin and Alexis being expelled from school, we find her claim hard to believe also.

[From Hollybaby, details from Life & Style]

Hollybaby has a point - Kate lied about her kids being expelled and she probably lies about a ton of other sh*t too, particularly the fact that she claims to be single, but is boning the married bodyguard. I bet she lied when she claimed that she was still with Jon when he started cheating. She probably kicked his ass to the apartment in the garage so she could sleep with the bodyguard in the house. Then when Jon stepped out on her she kept wearing her wedding ring and played the pity card with the media.

So the kids are better off with their dad and his girlfriend, who actually seem to pay attention to them and look out for them while their mom is focused on herself 24/7.
