Hot Guy Friday: Love In the Time of Dong

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 08:56 AM PST

Robert Downey Jr. He’s our headlining man this week… mainly because I'm still thinking about his Golden Globes presenting duties, where he basically suggested that he had slept with every single one of the women nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical. In case you need a refresher, here you go:

Sigh… I love him. What else is there to say? The man put himself through hell, and he came out the other side a genuinely good man. He's a loving husband and father and an incredible actor. I also think it would be quite something to have his frenetic energy concentrated in one spot (like, say, your vagina). I mean… he would be intense. And good. And…sigh…

Joseph Gordon Levitt. JGL was nearly consigned to "Cute, But Kinda Jailbait-esque" for too long. Some may disagree, but I think JGL's best career move ever was (500) Days of Summer. All of a sudden, he was an adorable, hilarious, sweet and believable leading man. And then he butched it up with Inception too - good move. Another reason to love him? He's really flexible. He's like a like a little acrobat. Not so jailbaity any more!

Daniel Sunjata. Daniel is everywhere I look. He's such a New York actor - and he does all of the New York-based television shows. Rescue Me. 30 Rock. Law & Order: SVU. In between television gigs, he does movies. Also, he's got one of the most gorgeous pair of dimples I've ever seen. I want to climb into them. I want to lick them. So, so cute.

Paul Bettany. I love this man. Passionately. He's pretty much the best part of every movie he's in, and beyond that, he just seems like a lovely, funny man. I know some of you will yell at me and tell me that he's slightly creepy - to which I will only humbly admit that I do tend to like the creepers. You might say that I have a fetish for pale Englishmen. Guilty again. You might say that he's a bit milquetoast. And you would be wrong. He's awesome. I don't want to argue with you!

Cillian Murphy. He's my candidate for "Motherchucker Who Will Stab You In Your Sleep". He just has that look, you know? And yes, he's played a lot of psychos, but that's not even it. You can put him on a red carpet in a nice suit and he would still look off-kilter and pleasantly deranged. You could have a photo of him holding a fluffy little bunny rabbit, and almost everyone would go "OMG, is he going to kill the bunny?!?" That being said, I know a lot of you would still hit it. That's fine. Just don't fall asleep.

Daniel Day Lewis. DDL is a spur-of-the-moment addition, just because I was thinking about him. Did I ever tell you how much I enjoyed DDL in Nine? He was lovely, sexy, sensual, and I loved the way he moved and how he simply looked at his women. He's always been a sensual, sexy bastard though. There's something about raw talent…

Karl Urban. Karl is a consistent request, and I only realized recently why you bitches are requesting him so much. He was in the Star Trek reboot! You Trekkie sluts. You are always sliding in requests for Star Trek guys. But yeah, Karl is hot. He's one of the better ones from the reboot. Plus, he was in the second Bourne movie, which is probably my favorite.

Scott Caan. Scott is a request from a few weeks ago. Personally, I don't really see it, but I did see him interviewed on the red carpet at the Globes, and he was very sweet and he and his girlfriend are adorable together. So… I kind of see it. He's like the bit-sized version of his dad - a little sh-tkicker with a heart of gold, apparently. Oh, and there's this NSFW photo of his dong, in case you like that kind of thing. He's got a nice body, but he is wee.

Til Schweiger. (By CB) Thanks to KLO for this request last week and I can’t believe we haven’t covered this gorgeous piece before. I’ve actually seen Schweiger in person, at the German premiere of Inglourious Basterds (here’s a link to the photos I took) and the guy was very humble on the red carpet and didn’t pose much. He was also strikingly handsome with a strong jaw, that lovely cleft chin and ice blue eyes. Schweiger has his own German film production company, and while I generally find the films he makes crap (Keinohrhasen, 1 1/2 Ritter) they’re hugely successful in Germany. Of course Schweiger stars in them, and it’s easy to see why he’s the most popular actor in Deutschland.

Terrell Owens (By CB) 37 year-old Owens is the wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, and while he doesn’t get a lot of press outside the sports arena he does have a reality show on VH1 called The T.O. Show. He’s known as a bad boy on the field for his antics, and to me that means that he has a lot of pent up energy that he needs a better outlet for. This man is so beautiful and his smile just kills me.

Johnny Depp. (By CB) So many of us love this devoted family man who calls his fans his “employers.” He’s been titillating our collective female consciousness since the late 80s and is still featured in so many of our fantasies. Johnny’s beauty is in his humble, gentle demeanor, his big brown eyes and his eccentric tongue in cheek performances. He’s a versatile actor and a solid admirable man. Oh Johnny, you’re our dessert today and I declare you tiramisu - rich and flavorful with a hint of booze and so many delicious layers that melt in your mouth.

Lindsay Lohan was totally going to pay off that woman she assaulted

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 08:54 AM PST

Radar had a report earlier this morning about what exactly went down between Lindsay Lohan and that Betty Ford employee (now former employee) Dawn Holland, who Lindsay attacked in an alcoholic rage. It was as everyone suspected - "someone directly associated with Lohan’s camp" (MOTHER CRACKHEAD) said that they would pay off Dawn. The price: $25,000. Only that money never came. And chaos ensued.

The fired Betty Ford worker who accused Lindsay Lohan of criminal battery secretly cut a $25,000 deal with the Hollywood actress' camp after refusing to testify against her, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. What’s more, a source also tells us exclusively that Dawn Holland fired her Los Angeles-based attorney Keith Davidson on Thursday afternoon after the payday never materialized. Davidson told RadarOnline.com that he is no longer representing Holland and says the decision was "mutual."

The source continued: "Dawn agreed to a $25,000 payment from someone directly associated with Lohan’s camp," a source with knowledge of the situation told RadarOnline.com. "Dawn wanted the amount paid upfront. But Lohan's camp wanted to spread it out over a period of a few months, paying her in installments. That didn't suit Dawn, so the parties then agreed, in principle, for Lindsay to participate in a sit-down television interview with Dawn."

The plan was for Dawn's camp to shop the interview to various media outlets.

"When the deal didn't materialize, Dawn became frustrated, fired her lawyer and engaged new legal counsel."

When asked by RadarOnline.com for comment, Davidson said: “It is true that Ms. Holland and I are not working together on this case or any other, and the decision was mutual. Without confirming or denying that there were in fact civil settlement negotiations, if in fact there were negotiation they would be confidential, and I would therefore be prohibited on commenting on it.”

It is not immediately clear if Lindsay was aware of the deal.

According to Holland, a drunk Lohan, 24, and two other female patients tried to sneak back onto the rehab's premises by jumping a wall but were caught by security. But Holland, a recovering addict, retreated from the explosive charges she first made in a paid interview with TMZ.

As RadarOnline.com first reported, Holland told law enforcement she wanted charges of battery against Lohan dropped and then-lawyer Davidson said "nor will she be assisting any further in the investigation or prosecution". The source stopped short of saying that the payment to Holland was struck to buy her silence and cooperation, a situation that would likely have legal repercussions.

The Riverisde County DA still has not made a decision on possible charges against Lohan from the Betty Ford incident with Holland and the Los Angeles County Probation Department and a Beverly Hills judge could still find that the troubled star violated probation.

[From Radar]

Just a few hours after this report came out, more sources "close to Dawn Holland" went to Radar and gave them more interviews. They claim that there never was a specific "deal" with Lindsay or Team Lohan. A source tells Radar: "There was never even a deal set in place to begin with; it was an idea. There was no deal. It was never brought to Dawn. She never got any friggin' specifics, that's the problem. That is the problem that is the issue here. That is why she sought another attorney." Apparently, Dawn and her first lawyer did discuss the idea of a payoff, and that Dawn was "aware" of the negotiation because she's in dire need of money. She's broke, and Betty Ford is withholding her workman's comp.

So… why didn't Dina just pay the relatively paltry sum of $25,000 to make this go away? Did they not have the money? Isn't Lindsay staying in a $8000-a-month rental so she can stalk Samantha Ronson?

ITW: Jennifer Aniston didn’t go to the Globes because of Angelina Jolie’s bullying

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 08:15 AM PST

As I mentioned before in the Vanessa Paradis post, In Touch Weekly has a lengthy piece this week, all about why Jennifer Aniston didn't go to the Golden Globes last Sunday. Apparently, she was invited to present, but Drunky McBurnout declined because she thought Heroin McBaby-Snatcher would be "taunting" her. Little did Drunky know that Heroin would "bully" and "taunt" her "through the TV screen." No joke. Apparently, all of the little Brangelina conspiracies - the bow tie thing, the leaning thing - all of it was done specifically with Jennifer Aniston in mind.

It's one of Hollywood's biggest nights, and it would have been the perfect opportunity for Jennifer Aniston to plug her new film, Just Go With It. Instead, Aniston spent the night of the Golden Globes at home, watching Angelina Jolie snuggle up to Jen's ex-husband Brad Pitt - and once again wishing she could let go of the past.

Though she was never one for PDA earlier in their relationship, Angelina was unusually cozy with Brad during the telecast, leaning up against him and putting her head on his shoulder whenever cameras were on them. At one point, she even lovingly fixed his box tie. It was as if Angelina knew Jen was watching - something that a friend says is probably true. "Angelina still views Jen as a love rival, and she knows what to do to drive Jen to tears," the friend explains.

Angelina loves to taunt Jen, and Jen knows it. Being in the same room with Angelina and Brad as they acted like the king and queen of Hollywood was the last thing Jen wanted to do.

"She had originally planned to attend the Globes, and had been invited to be a presenter, but she backed out," says one of her pals, adding that since Jennifer hasn't been dating anybody lately, "she would have had to have shown up without a serious boyfriend." That added humiliation "was too much for her, and she decided to skip the whole thing."

"It's painful enough to see her ex with 'the other woman' but now Jen has no man in her life," the pal explains. And Angelina - who likes to "bully" Jen - taunted her through the TV screen, a source said. "Imagine how much worse it would have been in person."

"Jen feels shut out of Hollywood because her movies haven't been as successful as Angelina's," the pal shares. "She knew the night would be all about them, and she just couldn't take it. She hates playing the second fiddle, and she knows she can't compete with the star power of Brad and Angelina."

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

Eh. Maybe Aniston didn't go the Globes because she didn't want to? Maybe she wanted to drink at home with her teddy bear. Maybe she didn't feel like getting dressed up. Maybe she couldn't find another vadge-flasher dress. Maybe she wasn't even invited to present. I hate the idea that awards-show organizers now have that whenever Angelina or Brad are nominated for anything, that Aniston has to be invited to present. I get that it probably helps the ratings, but it's more than five years, you know?

Kate Gosselin met her married bodyguard’s folks, gave them a photo of her kids w/ him

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 07:15 AM PST

Star Magazine has an hilarious story about the depths to which Kate Gosselin has sunk. She took a TLC-sponsored trip to Australia and New Zealand last month with her brood and her Kiwi bodyguard, Steve Neild. After Kate posed for bikini photos, Steve and Kate’s eight kids headed to New Zealand to meet his family. Diva Kate was very late and made Steve’s parents wait (excuse the rhyme) but what’s more is that she gave them a photo of Steve and her kids as a gift! Steve is still married to his wife back in Maryland and I’m sure his parents were thrilled to see this bitch and her tons of kids as their daughter-in-law’s replacement.

With Steve’s wife, Gina, at home in North Potomac, MD, divorcee Kate, 35, invited herself and the kids along when he visited his folks in his native New Zeland. The gang arrived there from Australia on Jan. 8…

But Kate’s plan to ingratiate herself with Kurt and Judith Neild was a bust. “Kate made them wait for over an hour, which they thought was rude,” says the source. “Also, her outfit showed way too much cleavage, and she tried to be engaging but kept forgetting his relatives’ names. It wasn’t a good impression.

Kate further tripped up by giving them a silver Tiffany & Co. frame - containing a photo of Steve with her kids! - as a gift. But Steve’s family wasn’t exactly fond of her even before they came face to face. “Kate’s aware that they’ve thought she treats her kids like her accessories, that her relationship with Steve isn’t right and she wants to take him from Gina,” said an insider

[From Star Magazine, print edition, January 31, 2011]

That’s a smooth move right there - “Meet your new grandkids! Too bad your son’s still married to what’s her face. How do my new boobs look? Steve helped me pick ‘em out!” Someone mentioned this in a comment - I’d love to get Steve’s wife’s take on his relationship with Kate. Like does she believe her husband when he swears up and down that nothing is going on despite the fact that he sleeps in Kate’s basement and regularly goes on vacation with her? Steve has the perfect excuse “Honey, she pays me to protect her.” Only it looks like Steve is giving Kate a hell of a lot more for her money. Does that make him like a male prostitute, or more like a secretary sleeping with the boss?

Kate and Steve are shown on 12/8/10 and on 9/14/09. Credit: Fame

What actor should be cast as creepy/hot Julian Assange?

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 07:12 AM PST

Funny story - several of the leading contenders to play creepy-hot-pervert Julian Assange are on this week's Hot Guy Friday. I swear I didn't plan for it! But when you look at Assange's pasty face, what actor are you reminded of? What actor could pull off both the creepy, pervert aspect of Assange, AND the ballsy, sensual genius aspect? I ask because Hollywood is making at least one movie about Julian Assange, according to Page Six. Honestly, it's not the worst idea. For a while now, I've been thinking about how this whole international controversy would probably make a good movie. But casting is important!

A movie about secret-sharing villain Julian Assange is being fast-tracked before he can leak his own life story. Assange has said he is penning a book that could become a screenplay.

But Josephson Entertainment and Michelle Krumm Productions have stolen the WikiLeaks founder’s thunder by optioning the biography, “The Most Dangerous Man in the World,” by Andrew Fowler, who interviewed Assange last year. Krumm said the book would become a “thought-provoking thriller.”

But who’ll play Assange? Paul Bettany? Liam Neeson? Or perhaps Tilda Swinton?

[From Page Six]

Paul Bettany would be a good choice, honestly. Same coloring, similar eyes. And Bettany's a good enough actor where Assange wouldn't just be one note. He can be creepy and weird, and funny and charming. Liam Neeson is a no go - too old to play Assange, and Liam is just too big and ass-kicking. Tilda Swinton is a kind of hilarious choice. What about Michael Fassbender? Think about it… that could really work. As could Viggo Mortensen, Cillian Murphy and Ralph Fiennes.

Radar: Kat Von D & Jesse James plan to marry next month

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 06:42 AM PST

After a whirlwind romance of only five months (that we know of), Jesse James and Kat von D are now engaged. We should be happy, right? Two douche losers are off the market, and they are both so gross that maybe now we won't have to deal with their public crap anymore? Not so fast! Radar reports that Jesse and Kat are considering getting hitched as soon as next month. Yeah… I think Kat is pregnant.

Jesse James and Kat Von D’s engagement came as a shock to most everyone, and now RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting that the inked couple plans on tying the knot within the next month.

“Jesse and Kat don’t see any reason why they should wait to trade vows,” a source close to the couple explained. “They are madly in love with each other and want to make everything official.”

According to the source, Jesse and Kat have already started planning their wedding, which will be small and happen outside of California. Don’t expect an over-the-top Hollywood wedding for the motorcycle man and his L.A. Ink fiancée. The couple is planning to take a non-traditional route, which should come as no surprise considering their whirlwind relationship.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the two officially stepped out as a couple in September, shortly after Jesse’s highly-publicized divorce from Sandra Bullock.

The divorce between The West Coast Choppers star and his Oscar winning wife, actress Sandra Bullock, became official last June after he was caught cheating on Sandra with several women — most noteably Michelle “Bombshell” McGee. James then relocated to Austin, Texas, where Bullock has a home.

This will be for the fourth marriage for Jesse — who has three children from previous wives Karla and Janine Lindemulder — and the second marriage for Kat, who divorced fellow tattoo artist Oliver Peck in 2007.

[From Radar]

I believe this report. I think the wedding will happen fast and it will be a "nontraditional" ceremony. I also think that if Kat isn't pregnant already, she will be soon, and then Jesse will have another kid he can screw up, because apparently he has the worst taste in baby-mamas, with one glaring exception. Speaking of, don't cry for Sandra Bullock - she's not asking for your tears, and she's doing just fine, thank you very much.

Ugh, one more story - hours after the engagement announcement, Jesse tweeted: “Epic day comes to an end. Closing my eyes to dream about [Kat].” Then he posted a black & white photo of Kat wearing her new ring. Then one of his followers asked: “Isn’t she the most beautiful girl in the world?” His reply: “Yes she is.” Gross. I didn't even realize it yesterday, but we do have some shots of Kat's ring, if you're interested (another closeup is here). I find it kind of gaudy, but everybody's got different taste.

Thomas Jane, 41, is dating a 21 year-old actress

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 06:33 AM PST

The last we heard of 41 year-old Hung star Thomas Jane, he was filing for divorce late last summer from his wife of four years, Medium’s Patricia Arquette. Arquette and Jane had a rocky relationship, and first filed for divorce in early 2009, after which they reconciled for a while. So it looks like they gave it a good shot, maybe for the sake of their daughter Harlow, nearly 7. That’s why this news of Jane’s latest relationship just rubs me the wrong way. According to Star he’s dating a 21 year-old actress he met at a Christmas party. He wasn’t cheating and he’s single but I never pegged him for the type to go out with a girl young enough to be his daughter. It makes me think way less of him.

Thomas Jane and Renee Olstead, an actress on the ABC Family series The Secret Life of the American Teenager, made their relationship official when they were spotted hand in hand at the Golden Globes. Thomas and his estranged wife, Patricia Arquette, pulled the plug on their four-year marriage for good last August. He was miserable for months - until he clicked with Renee at a December holiday party. “The relationship is moving fast, but they’re definitely still in the hot-and-heavy stage, kissing and touching all the time and for all to see,” says an insider. Apparently their 20 year age difference - Thomas is 41, Renee is just 21 - hasn’t been an issue. Adds the insider: “they think it might be love.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, January 31, 2011]

So Star didn’t just make this up and Jane was actually seen holding hands with this girl. It’s just typical male behavior during a midlife crisis, and it’s disappointing in Jane’s case. I’m not really surprised by much lately, though.

Look at this girl and tell me if she looks above 20. I would guess she was 17. This isn’t a Hugh Hefner level age difference by any stretch, but I still find it creepy.

This got me wondering when Hung is coming back. I watched it the past two seasons, but it started to really falter this last year. It will be back this summer on HBO, along with True Blood, which is what I’m really anxious for. Maybe Thomas and this young actress will be long over by then. I’m sure they have so much in common, though. (eyeroll)

Thomas Jane is shown on 11/15/10 and 1/16/11. Renee Olsted is shown on 1/16/11. Credit: WENN.com

Star: Katie Holmes is addicted to Scientology ‘treatments’

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 06:17 AM PST

The cover of this week’s Star may not seem as scandalous as they make it out to be: “Katie Holmes Drug Shocker!” but the reality is probably worse for Katie than a drug addiction. The story is all about how Katie is “addicted” Scientology auditing with those e-meter devices that are basically crude lie detectors. Former Scientologists say the auditing sessions with the e-meter, which lets off a low-level electrical charge, can be addicting and mind-altering. I wouldn’t find this story so ominous if I hadn’t just seen that interview with Kelly Preston spouting off about how L. Ron Hubbard claimed that the reactive mind is affected by someone’s birth experience. There’s some serious brainwashing going on with that cult.

Four years into Katie Holmes’ marriage to Tom Cruise, 48, her involvement with the controversial Church of Scientology still raises eyebrows. Now, in a world exclusive, several former Scientologists and experts have stepped forward to make a shocking claim to Star: Katie’s battery of Scientology treatments have an affect similar to heroin.

Although the FDA has taken the position that the “e-meter” device used in Scientology’s “auditing” or counseling sessions, serves no medical purpose, former Scientologists tell Star that it gives subjects a temporary feeling of euphoria, followed by a crash and a craving for more.

As subjects being audited hold metal cans connected to the device, “The e-meter emits a low-level electric charge that goes to the brain,” explains former Scientologist… Arnaldo Lerma. “In response to that stressful stimulation, the body releases endorphins, hormones that cause a pain-killing, mood-elevating effect.”

David Touretzky, a research at Carnegie Mellon University’s Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition, says that auditing may also spark an endorphin release in another way. “One hypothesis is that there is an endorphin bump caused by the focused attention of the auditor,” Touretzky tells Star. “It’s socially rewarding.”

Either way, for Katie and thousands of other Scientologists, those endorphins can be a natural drug, Dr. Gregory A. Smith, a California addiction expert… tells Star

“Endorphins are natural painkillers in the brain that block pain receptors from within the body exactly the same way drugs like morphine kill pain from an external source,” Dr. Smith explains.

“So when you stimulate endorphin activity within the brain, you are doing the exact same thing as taking morphine or other opiates, such as heroin on opium. That feeling of a natural high can become addictive.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, January 31, 2010]

Here’s the thing, I doubt that this e-meter crap is more effective at helping people release endorphins than exercise or listening to music is. On its own the e-meter is just a mild current. The process of going through auditing and getting reprogrammed is probably addictive, though, because it’s designed to change a person’s entire world view and make them dependent on the auditor for validation. From what I can gather, auditing is similar to regression therapy in that people are encouraged to resolve negative experiences from their past. Only in Scientology they believe that a person has lived for millions of years and they coax them to come up with “memories” that stem back past their current lifetime. Here’s a description from a former Scientologist on what auditing did to her:

Now you have had hundreds of hours of Dianetics and Grade auditing. Your idea of what is real has completely changed. You know you are different from other people, because now you know that you have lived for millions of years. You know it is true because you’ve relived so many experiences in your auditing. You feel set apart from other people who have not yet discovered the truth. You want your family to experience the truth too, but you can’t tell them. They wouldn’t believe you. They have to experience it for themselves. You’re spending your time with other Scientologists now, because it’s uncomfortable to be around non-Scientologists. They don’t understand. Scientologists are the only ones who know what reality really is.

Now when your auditor asks you for an earlier similar incident, you don’t have to be coaxed into finding a picture. You know what to do. Now, as soon as the auditor asks the question, a picture appears. There is no longer any difference in your mind between something that happened yesterday, and something that happened 300 years ago, or 25,000 years ago, or a million years ago.

All Scientologists believe that these incidents they find in their auditing really happened to them. They believe that they have memories going back thousands of years, millions of years, even billions of years. This is encouraged by the auditing process, in which the preclear is repeatedly told, “What is true for you is true for you.” In practice, this means that the auditor validates as real anything the preclear comes up with in session, no matter how far-fetched it may be.

Moreover, the preclear is not allowed to discuss all of this with anyone but his auditor. Husbands and wives are not permitted to talk about what happens
in their auditing sessions. Friends are required to report on each other if someone talks about an incident from their auditing. So the preclear is left without any way of keeping himself anchored in the real world. There is no way to verify whether or not something is true or imaginary.

[From Lermanet.com]

I found that woman’s story fascinating and if you’re interested in Scientology I would recommend you read more at the source. The process of “auditing” is way scarier than being addicted to the good feeling that the little lie detector device might give you. It’s aimed to have people question their entire sense of reality and to change their worldview. It’s mind control and a mental trap. No wonder Katie looks so tired and drawn all the time.

Is Naomi Campbell being played by her married, Russian billionaire lover?

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 06:16 AM PST

These are some shots from Naomi Campbell's appearance on Elle Russia - this is the February issue, I believe. The styling is pretty simple, nothing too extraordinary, but I guess the point is that Naomi has taken another Russian fashion magazine cover. She is trying to be embraced by Russia, because her lover is Russian, and it doesn't look like he's getting a divorce any time soon, so she's pretty much his "kept woman" in Moscow. In other "how the mighty have fallen" news, Naomi's still-married fiance Vladimir Doronin got Naomi to star in some cheese-fest commercial for a luxury building:

It must be love — Naomi Campbell stripped down to make a commercial for her billionaire boyfriend’s new luxury building in Moscow. Supermodel Campbell is seen writhing in bed, swimming in a pool, working out in a gym and getting ready for the office and then on a night out in a Russian TV and Internet ad for Vladimir Doronin’s swanky apartment building called “Legend of Tsvetnoy.”

As the cheesy spot with a breathy female voice-over in Russian comes to an end, a pouting Campbell coos melodramatically in English: “I listen to your heart, Moscow. Now you know where I stay.” Campbell has been dating Doronin for three years, and although he isn’t yet divorced from wife Ekaterina, rumors keep swirling the pair will eventually marry.

[From Page Six]

Wow, Doronin got one of the biggest supermodels in the world to do a commercial appearance for luxury apartments in Moscow. Do you think Naomi even got paid? I don't even know… this whole situation between Naomi and Vlad grows stranger by the day. Sometimes I think Naomi has resigned herself to the fact that she will be nothing more than Vlad's mistress. Other days I think that Naomi will stick with this through the bitter end, and that means waiting out his wife. Mostly I just think she's being played, and that makes me a little bit happy.

ITW: Vanessa Paradis skipped the Globes because she hates Angelina Jolie

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 05:46 AM PST

In Touch Weekly has a lengthy account in this week's issue, all about why Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were allowed to attend the Golden Globes without facing down any of their enemies, real or imagined. The bulk of the piece is about Jennifer Aniston, of course, and I will have that story later on. But this side note caught my attention - apparently, Vanessa Paradis didn't come to the Globes with her lover because VP has such a hate-on for Angelina:

Jennifer Aniston wasn't the only one who stayed home from the Globes in order to avoid Angelina Jolie.

According to an insider, Johnny Depp, nominated for both Alice in Wonderland and The Tourist, went alone because his girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis, "can't stand Angelina. She can't stand the way Angelina always flirts with Johnny in front of her. She thinks it's a sign of disrespect."

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

Now, before The Tourist even began filming, there were reports that Vanessa "ordered" Johnny not to work with Angelina. When Johnny didn't drop out of the film, there were reports that Vanessa made Johnny reject all of the sex scenes with Angelina… although having seen the film, I doubt there was ever supposed to be sex scenes with the two leads. Do I believe any of the stuff about Vanessa hating Angelina then or now? Not really - I think Vanessa knows she has Johnny's heart. That being said, there could be something - a little something - here. Vanessa didn't go with Johnny to any of his events for The Tourist, and now she didn't go to the Globes? Maybe it is about hating Angelina. Or maybe there's trouble in Depp-Paradis paradise.

Also, I think Vanessa is on tour now. There was some news earlier this week about her cancelling a concert in Israel.
