Kim Kardashian is the root of all of Halle Berry & Gabriel Aubry’s problems Posted: 03 Feb 2011 08:14 AM PST I know, I know. ANOTHER story about Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry. But this one is from People Magazine! Meaning it's more official-like. People is pretty solidly on Team Halle, because she's an Oscar-winner and a woman and who is Gabriel Aubry, after all? I also think TMZ is pretty solidly pro-Halle, by the way. They're getting a ton of leaks from Team Halle, and they were the ones to break the "story" about Gabriel allegedly throwing around the N-bomb, and they're the ones now reporting Halle's accusations that Gabriel is harming Nahla. Considering TMZ was and is solidly pro-Mel Gibson, and Radar was/is pro-Oksana and pro-Gabriel, I have to admit: if I was a celebrity in trouble, I would want Radar on my side, not TMZ. Radar just seems more sympathetic to the underdog. But the real prize would be getting People Magazine on your side - that's "the official" version of whatever story you're shilling. Anyway, People's take: Halle didn't get crazy until Gabe started seeing Kim Kardashian:
[From People] It might seem like old news, given the revelations both sides have made this week, but here's what's important: until now, TMZ and Radar were both playing the Kim Kardashian situation very carefully, often referring to her as merely "a reality star that Gabriel dated briefly". People Magazine is putting it out there, and putting Gabriel's brief dalliance with Kim in the spotlight, and making it about Kim versus Halle. Here's another point: Halle and Olivier Martinez are pretty much living together at this point. Their relationship moved very fast, and although we've yet to see any photos of Olivier with Nahla, my guess is that Olivier is spending a great deal of time with Nahla. So… is Gabriel going to bring that up? |
Lindsay Lohan’s “career comeback” in jeopardy because she’s a crack thief Posted: 03 Feb 2011 07:30 AM PST It's always a good week when Lindsay Lohan is trying to crack-lie her way out some crime, whether or not it's beating the hell out of a rehab employee, or simply heisting some jewelry in full view of security cameras. By the way, in these photos, Lindsay is wearing the stolen necklace - allegedly. It looks different in these photos than the ones from yesterday at TMZ, but sure. Whatever. Anyway, these are just a few more updates to the story. TMZ reports that because the jewelry store's surveillance tapes don't have any audio, Lindsay may avoid charges, because it would be her word against the jewelry store owner's. Meaning that Lindsay's crack-lie about "borrowing" the necklace might hold up! Ugh. Meanwhile, Radar has more details about what went down during the crackhead investigation:
[From Radar] The DA is apparently still looking over the evidence, but I'd like to think that there is enough proof to go forward with charges, especially if this jewelry store owner wants to press charges. Meanwhile, Lindsay's cracked-out heist may be costing her a job! Shocking, I know. Apparently, Lindsay had tentatively signed on to star as a "troubled starlet" in One Night With You, but if this crack heist drama heats up, she won't be able to do the film. Crack sob for Lindsay. |
Jennifer Lopez’s shiny miniskirt: tacky or totally cute? Posted: 03 Feb 2011 06:58 AM PST Jennifer Lopez has been named the global brand ambassador for Gillette Venus razors, and yesterday she did an event for the brand. It was the launch of the "Venus Goddess Fund" held at Radio City Music Hall. At first I was like "Damn, Jenny, that miniskirt is kind of inappropriate for a charity launch." But considering the event is sponsored by lady razors, I think showing off the legs is probably required. So… I like the skirt. The skirt with the blouse… not that great. I do like her hair, too. Also, a question: is Jennifer Lopez the best spokes model for razors? I'm seriously asking. While I like Jennifer's curvy body, I think Gillette might have tried to sign a celebrity lady who is known for having amazing legs, right? Like…um… Charlize? That was just the first lady who came to mind. But I guess Jennifer was chosen because she appeals to a wider fan-base of women, and because of American Idol and all that stuff. Speaking of, how is Jennifer doing? She's getting good reviews as one of the new judges, and she's apparently not engaging in some big diva war with anybody. That doesn't sound like Jennifer! |
Jennifer Aniston was offered a position on SNL, turned it down for ‘Friends’ Posted: 03 Feb 2011 06:25 AM PST Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler were on Oprah yesterday to promote Just Go With It, which comes out next weekend. They were surprisingly cute together - Adam and Jennifer did a lot of their junket interviews together, and they have a very easy chemistry together, and you can tell they enjoy each other's company. Apparently, they've been friends for 20 years, although I couldn't really understand the story Adam told about how they first got to know each other. Something about a friend in common and matzah and Aniston coming to see Adam do stand-up? Something like that. Also: I love LOVE that Adam Sandler only refers to her as "Aniston". For some reason, that cracks me up. Never "Jen" or "Jennifer". Always "Aniston". During the course of the interview, some new information came up that I found interesting. Well, it's new information to me. Maybe some of you already knew it. Sandler claimed that before Friends got picked up (probably around the spring of 1994), Aniston came in to meet Lorne Michaels, and she was offered a cast position on Saturday Night Live. Sandler said: "We wanted Aniston to be on the show with us. I remember being on the ninth floor where [SNL exec] Lorne Michaels’ office was, and seeing Jen come in. I was like, ‘Oh my God, there’s Aniston. Is she about to be on our show?’” Aniston then confirmed that she did get an offer, and said that she had said "no" because she believed in Friends, and thought the show was going places, although everyone thought she was making a huge mistake by turning down the SNL offer. It was a nice little "what if?" moment - what if Aniston had joined SNL? Well, she probably would have had to get out of the contract when Friends got picked up, so it would have been the same anyway. But Aniston could have been Ana Gasteyer! Perish the thought. |
What are Kyle and Kim Richards’ ‘family secrets’? Posted: 03 Feb 2011 06:20 AM PST
This week’s OK Magazine has a cover story featuring the sisters, which contains quotes from “a source close to Kyle” (read: Kyle) about what those “private things” might be. It’s all about money, and while there may be more backstory there I’ll repeat what I’ve said all along: nothing excuses the way that Kyle treats her sister. To the few people telling me I don’t understand because I don’t have a sister who is an addict, that could be true. I have a brother, not a sister, and our relationship is one of mutual support. Plenty of women with sisters have commented that Kyle’s bullying of Kim is inexcusable, and that there seems to be an aggressor victim dynamic between them, particularly in the way that Kim defends Kyle while Kyle blames Kim and makes excuses. (Thanks to Jayna for this link to analysis on Realitytea, which included that insight.) Here’s the relevant part of OK’s story:
[From OK! Magazine, print edition, February 14, 2011] Let’s assume for the sake of argument that this version is correct, and that Kyle is upset at Kim because: 1. Kim has a long history of alcoholism and 2. Kyle has been supporting Kim financially. How are those “private things” when Kyle hurled both issues at Kim in the limo? To be fair, Kyle was responding to Kim’s claim that “you stole my house,” but it seems to me like she has no qualms about bringing up her sister’s alcoholism and that she asked her buddies Taylor and Lisa to make a point of it at the reunion. Kyle is using the “private things” argument to deflect blame and suggest that there is much more to the story that would explain her abhorrent behavior toward her sister. We saw Kim this season and while she clearly enjoys to drink it was Kyle and her fish-lipped friend who went after Kim. Kim didn’t say or do anything to Kyle that would explain the way she went after her. Here’s Kyle in Aspen in late December with Faye Resnick. She loves getting papped. Credit: Fame Pictures |
Gabriel Aubry & Halle Berry are both doubling-down on the crazy (updates) Posted: 03 Feb 2011 05:50 AM PST Throughout the on-going trauma of Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry's custody battle, Radar has been unabashedly Team Gabriel. They've been getting very good "leaks" from unnamed sources in Aubry's camp, perhaps even Aubry himself. Early Wednesday, TMZ had a source who hinted that Gabriel Aubry might have tapes of Halle Berry being an a–hole. And now Radar's source (probably the same person) is stepping up the accusation, saying that Gabriel definitely has emails, text messages and voicemails from Halle acting crazy. What's interesting is that the "source" says that The Crazy went into overdrive right about the time Gabriel started hooking up with Kim Kardashian. That ass destroys everything.
[From Radar] So… you know what this is, right? Public relations blackmail. Gabriel is sending a message to Halle to hold back on the personal attacks (like, say, the claim that Gabe was throwing around the N-bomb). This is the warning shot, with Gabe saying "If you continue to act like a raging bitch, I'm going to release all of this stuff, and you and Mel Gibson are going to be the same." Now, I would never claim that Halle called Gabe a "glum c-nt" or that she threatened to bury him in the rose garden, but Halle's reputation could be severely damaged by this collected evidence. We'll see if any of it comes out in the end. Right now it's a game of who will blink first. And personally, I think it should be Halle. UPDATE: Okay, now TMZ is following up - their Team Berry sources say that Gabe would often call Halle demeaning things, dropping the N-bomb and calling her a “f-cking bitch”. One of Gabe’s ex-girlfriends backs this up, saying that he’s always been a “borderline racist” and a misogynist. Oh, and apparently Halle has saved some text messages from Gabe as well. A source tells TMZ: “He constantly demeaned her. It was awful.” Not only that, but Halle is now claiming that Nahla cries hysterically whenever Gabe comes to pick her up, and Halle claims she has “proof” that Gabe is putting her in harm’s way. Yeah. So… this is Halle’s answer to Gabe’s “I’ve got voicemails of you acting crazy, bitch” threat. Halle is doubling-down. Crazy bitches, both of them. UPDATE #2: Frig! Radar has ANOTHER Team Gabe story. Methinks Gabe is the Oksana, right? Anyway, Radar reports that Halle sent an email to Gabe that reads “You were only good for one thing… Thanks for the donation.” And sources close to Gabe say: “Halle’s timing in these [racist] ‘revelations’ speaks volumes. It’s amazing how she’s only now chosen to come forward about all this ‘abuse’ and Gabriel’s ‘bad parenting’, basically after he went to court to legally establish his parental rights. All Gabriel wanted was to ensure his legal entitled access to his daughter, and to not have to be at the mercy of Halle’s moods as to when and how he could see Nahla. And now Halle’s totally gone off the deep end, because it’s all about her and it’s all about her controlling Gabriel and controlling the situation. She’s totally gone into spin mode and is trying desperately to paint herself as this tragic victim figure, as she’s done many times in the past. But I’ve seen evidence to the contrary, and trust me - she’s no tragic victim, far from it.” |
John Mayer thinks that new management will make him less of a racist douche Posted: 03 Feb 2011 05:49 AM PST One of my favorite moments in any losing political campaign is when a candidate takes a good, hard look at his declining poll numbers and decides that what he or she really needs is completely new staff. The message it sends is always twofold: first, it says that the candidate is throwing his staff under the bus, blaming THEM and not himself or herself for his lack of popular support. Secondly, it shows just how the candidate is a crappy manager. Anyway, this story about John Mayer reminded me of some of the great losing political campaigns. According to Us Weekly, Mayer is in the market for new management. Because his current management is the reason we think he's such a douche.
[From Us Weekly, print edition] Mayer can get all of the new management he wants, but people are going to hate him until he finds a way to conquer his urge to say crap like "That's why black people love me…. Someone asked me the other day, "What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?" And by the way, it's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a n—er pass." And: "My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I've got a Benetton heart and a f-ckin' David Duke c-ck. I'm going to start dating separately from my dick." And: "Here's what I really want to do at 32: f-ck a girl and then, as she's sleeping in bed, make breakfast for her. So she's like, "What? You gave me five vaginal orgasms last night, and you're making me a spinach omelet? You are the sh-t!’" Something tells me new management isn't going to save that junk. |
Christina Aguilera’s ex is still living in their house - with XTina and her new man Posted: 03 Feb 2011 05:41 AM PST
Here’s an amusing story from the print edition of US Weekly about how Christina Aguilera’s estranged husband, Jordan Bratman, is staying put in the couple’s mansion and refusing to move out. Christina announced her separation from Jordan in mid October of last year. She took up with her new boyfriend, a set assistant she met while filming Burlesque (while she was still married) a hot minute later. We heard in late October that Christina was staying in hotels because Bratman wouldn’t move out of their home, presumably because he wanted to be near their son Max, three. Fast forward three months later and Bratman is still at their family home, while Christina has moved her new boyfriend in to help her stagger to bed after their drunken nights out. I’m pretty sure that Christina still lives in the mansion that was shown on The Osbournes, as she purchased it from the family in 2007. That’s a big house but I don’t think it has two kitchens or anything.
[From US Weekly, print edition, February 14, 2011] Poor Christina. She cheated on her husband, moved her jump off into the house, and now her husband won’t leave! What’s a drunk rich girl to do? I know, she could sell the house (probably at a loss) and downsize - if the house is in her name, that is. There are probably some complicated legal issues that are keeping her from being able to kick Jordan out. She could rent another place nearby and move there with her son. I don’t know whose side I’m on in this whole mess, but I’m inclined to have some grudging respect for Bratman for staying put. (There are rumors that he abused Christina, and if that’s true it’s despicable. Sources say that never happened though.) Photos below of Christina and Jordy is from 12/21/09. She’s shown with the other guy, Matt Rutler, in January. Credit: WENN.com and Fame Pictures |
Charlie Sheen calls media ‘pathetic’ while his rep issues damage control ‘thank you’ Posted: 03 Feb 2011 05:30 AM PST
[From E! Online] According to Charlie, we should be ashamed that we’re listening to the 22 year-old porn star he paid $30,000 to f*ck him and watch while he smoked cocaine all night and critiqued porn. There’s photographic evidence the dude was with these women, he looked like death in the picture, and he was rushed to the hospital shortly afterwards with a “hernia.” This is his M.O, though, deny and act like it’s our problem for paying attention. Charlie’s rep realizes that he’s alienating his fan base and all of the people whose jobs depend on him showing up for his easy, insanely high paid job. He issued a statement thanking everyone and suggesting Charlie is going to take a hiatus and put his “sword down,” “like Errol Flynn,” although I bet that hiatus will last all of three weeks.
[From People] It’s too bad that Rosenthal’s efforts are being undermined by Charlie and his bitchy text messages. Also, I’m not as up on old Hollywood as I should be so I checked Errol Flynn’s wiki page and he was a partier like Charlie Sheen, was married three times and was accused of statutory rape by two different women. Charlie at least likes them a smidgen on the other side of 18. US Weekly has an overview of the porn stars that were over at Charlie’s house the night in question and two of them were 19 - Gigi Rivera and Melanie Rios, while the one who is going to media, Kacey Jordan, claims to be 22. His latest madam starred in the “Barely Legal” porn movies and told Radar Online that Charlie would regularly request women from that series. They’re “legal,” although prostitution isn’t outside of the state of Nevada. These photos are from January, 2010 of Sheen courtside at a Laker’s game. Credit: PRPhotos |
Star Mag claims Knox & Vivienne Jolie-Pitt have Down Syndrome Posted: 03 Feb 2011 05:27 AM PST Empress Zahara is already on the phone with her attorneys, don't worry. Star Magazine, acting on a nine-month-old National Enquirer story that was pretty much identical, claims in a round-about way that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, have Down Syndrome. The proof? Well, there is none. According to Jezebel's synposis, Star just points out there is "speculation" and an insider says that the twins "are taking longer to grasp things." Oh, and while the family visited Brad's family over New Year's, random Missourians "wondered if there was something wrong with the twins. It just seemed like something was off." A source also says that "An employee recently voiced concerns, and Angelina freaked out." So… instead of even pretending this is anything other than a horrible (and unoriginal) tabloid piece of crap, let's talk about whether or not Angelina and Brad (and the Empress) should sue. I think they should - for once, send the message to the tabloids that all of this nasty speculation about the kids is beyond the realm of acceptability. Of course, Angelina and Brad didn't sue when the Enquirer reported an identical story last year, nor did they sue when Life & Style ran repeated Shiloh-is-a-lesbian-because-she-wears-pants covers. Do they just think that if they ignore it, this too shall pass? Or do they figure that the public backlash against these tabloids will be enough? I don't know, I honestly don't. I do know that Fax Cannes "Mystery" Jolie-Pitt is dyslexic, though. And it's nothing to be ashamed of. |
