Christian Bale bashes film critic, says he’d “like to piss on that guy’s shoes”

Posted: 07 Feb 2011 08:37 AM PST

These are photos from Christian Bale's recent appearance at the SAG Awards, where he looked freshly shorn - sort of. I'm assuming that Bale is getting back to his Batman/Bruce Wayne body, and that he will soon be shaving most of this crap off. Speaking of Christian's yo-yo dieting and bulking up, Christian would like to piss on my shoes. Your shoes too. And mostly he'd like to piss on one critic's shoes, because that critic had the audacity to mention, in his review of The Fighter, that Christian Bale is somewhat known for his repeated body transformations for various films. The critic's words were "trademark weight loss". Which… is honestly one of the nicer ways it has been referenced. Some would call it Bale's "gimmick in lieu of a true Method" or "an eating disorder that causes Bale to binge and purge for a paycheck." Anyway, Christian spoke about the criticism and he lost his temper a little bit. Not as bad as the infamous, taped obscene rant, but it has its moments:

Christian Bale has received both praise and awards for his role in The Fighter, but it seems he doesn’t take criticism quite so well. He wants to ‘piss on the shoes’ of a critic who wrote about his ‘trademark weight loss’ acting.

The actor, who famously had an on-set meltdown filming Terminator: Salvation and also a real-life falling out with his mother and sister, was speaking to the Australian edition of Empire magazine.

The star has previously lost weight for roles in the movies The Machinist and Rescue Dawn. Discussing his role as crack-addicted welterweight fight Dicky Eklund in The Fighter, for which he also lost weight, he said: ‘To be honest, I find it laughable that it’s considered to be some f-cking gimmick - it’s so patronizing. For God’s sake, do people not understand what a pain it is to do? It’s as though it’s some comment about, ‘Oh it’s easy for him, because he’s done it a bunch of times’. It’s not easy, it’s not fun - it’s horrible. I would never pick to do that, but it’s a part that I like and he’s a welterweight and he’s a crackhead. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen a welterweight with any fat on him - or a crackhead. So it’s just what you end up having to do. Somebody told me that somebody wrote something about my “trademark weight loss”. I’d just like to piss on that guy’s shoes.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Matt Damon lost a ton of weight for Courage Under Fire, and then he thinned up for The Talented Mr. Ripley, and then he bulked up for The Informant. Tom Hanks memorably did weight gain and then weight loss for Castaway. There is method to it, and I don't doubt that it is difficult for Christian to lose and gain so much weight for the roles that he takes. But after a while, it does seem like a gimmick, you know? Doesn't it seem like every other film he does has him doing some extreme diet? So should we just say "Oh, that's His Process" or should we begin to question it just a little - "Hey, why do you only take roles that have you doing some radical transformation to your body? Do you have issues? Do you think if you had a healthier relationship with food you wouldn’t be such a surly jag all of the time?"

Hugh Hefner explains why he dates women young enough to be his granddaughters

Posted: 07 Feb 2011 08:23 AM PST

The NY Times has an extensive profile and interview with Hugh Hefner, the 84 year-old Playboy found who is currently engaged to a 24 year-old Playmate. They paint a picture of Hef as a kind of durable icon of years gone by, a living symbol of a sophisticated outlook on sex that has become almost quaint. Despite the way that Hef continues to take up with women who are young enough to be his granddaughters, he’s portrayed as a decent guy who is not trying to hide his lifestyle or his preferences. I get a similar impression of him, but that doesn’t mean his actions are any less skeevy. Here are some choice excerpts:

On how Hefner isn’t a sleeze
Hefner is a little odd, certainly, but not a sleazebag. He has none of Bob Guccione's oiliness, or Larry Flynt's leering vulgarity. His manner is open and direct, and his language is as clean as a Midwestern Rotarian's. By his own lights, having purged himself of the shame and hypocrisy that is part of most Americans' sexual baggage, he leads a life that is exceptionally honest and moral. It's also a life that is exceptionally well documented.

Hef’s sexual history and how he founded Playboy
A late bloomer sexually, Hefner didn't masturbate until he was 18, and after years of foreplay, he finally managed to lose his virginity when he was 22, but he read Kinsey as if Kinsey were a prophet and became a student of marriage manuals and sex handbooks. Playboy was the sort of sophisticated, sexually adventurous publication he fantasized about. He scrounged money, including $1,000 from his mother, and laid the first issue out on the kitchen table, writing much of the copy himself. His greatest piece of luck was his choice of the first centerfold: a nude calendar photo of Marilyn Monroe taken four years before. It remains by far the sexiest of all Hefner's pinups. Where subsequent Playmates all have a health-club aura, as if they've lately come from the tanning bed or a Pilates session, Monroe, flushed and languorous, looked as if she just had an orgasm.

On how Kimberley Conrad cheated on him
Hefner now says that his 1989 marriage to Kimberley Conrad, January Playmate of the Month the year before, was an attempt to seek refuge — a "safe harbor from the waves." "I was not well, and I felt my years," he told me. "I felt much older then than I do today." He and Conrad broke up in 1998, though they did not divorce until 12 years later. "During the marriage I was faithful," he said to me emphatically, "and she was not." (Hefner, for all his advanced views, clings to the double standard and has never entirely got over his first wife's admission that while they were engaged she had an affair with a high-school coach.) The aftermath, he now admits, was "overcompensation," as he began dating posses of women, including one named Brandy and a pair of twins named Sandy and Mandy. "You can't make this stuff up," he said, laughing at himself. At one point, early in his '80s, he was living with seven young women and trying vainly to enforce a 9 o'clock curfew to keep them from dating anyone else.

On how Hef keeps scoring women
What do the women see in him? A friend, a mentor and a meal ticket more than a sex symbol, most likely. Live-in status at the mansion brings with it — or used to bring, before Hefner pledged himself to Harris — a stipend of $1,000 a week, paid out in cash by Hefner every Friday, and there was also free hair care, a car allowance and additional sums available for breast and dental implants and for special-occasion clothing. Sex with Hefner was not a requirement, strictly speaking, though most of his girlfriends did sleep with him, it appears, either out of gratitude or because of pressure from the others.

Crystal on their relationship
When I asked Crystal Harris whether her relationship with Hefner was sexual, she looked at me for a moment. "I don't know how to respond to that," she said, and then added, after a pause: "You mean sexual relations? Sure." But she went on: "Hef has hooked up with a lot of people, but that's not what makes him happy these days. He's much happier just cuddling and snuggling with the dog." They watch a lot of old movies together, she said, and she also likes trying to break him out of his unbudging routine. Just recently she persuaded him to try sushi and shepherd's pie.

Hef on why his girlfriends never age
"Well, I guess I know what I like," Hefner said when I asked him if he didn't think it odd that as he got older and older, his girlfriends remained the same age, all in their 20s and all conforming to an unoriginal model of perky blond buxomness. He was in his standard daywear — red silk smoking jacket and black silk pajamas — and sipping a Pepsi while sitting in the mansion's largely bookless library underneath a huge breast-baring ceramic bust of Barbi Benton, one of the few brunettes ever to catch his eye. "You do give up something in the process," Hefner went on, acknowledging that most of his girls have never listened to his kind of music — jazz and the big bands of the '30s and '40s — and have never heard of Betty Grable and Alice Faye (who probably imprinted that sexy blond template on him in the first place). "But you gain something, too. There is something wonderful in the student-teacher relationship — the rediscovery, the chance to have a relationship with a younger woman. It permits you to see the things you love with a fresh eye, makes them exciting again. And I don't think there's any question that surrounding yourself with youth keeps you younger."

Hef is just an old dude after all
"It will be easier to perpetuate my story when I'm not around," Hefner told me. "Because then nobody will be pissed off that I'm still getting laid." He also pointed out that his mother lived to be 101. Then he went back upstairs to his legendary bedroom, which these days is a bit of a mess: stacks of old movies on tape and DVD, knickknacks and tchotchkes everywhere, childhood photographs on the mantel, panties dangling from a chandelier and, nestled together on a sofa, a couple of hundred stuffed animals. It looks less like a love nest than the cave of a hoarder unable to let go.

[From The NY Times via Huffington Post]

The article also talked about the future of Playboy, which is expected to be taken over by Hef’s sons from Kimberlyy Conrad, now young adults at age 19 and 20. The journalist admitted he only spoke to the boys briefly but calls them “sweet and slightly spacey,” adding that they “seem a little young for their age.” They must take after their dad that way.

Steven Soderbergh’s paternity drama is sketchy as hell

Posted: 07 Feb 2011 07:53 AM PST

Last week, I saw the news that Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh (Traffic, Erin Brockovich, the Ocean's Eleven films) was hit by a paternity suit. It made me sad, because I thought he and his wife were tight - I have a lot of affection for his wife, Jules Asner, who used to be the cohost of E! News back when I was in college. She was really pretty and a good entertainment journalist, and her red carpet interviews were always tight. The rise of Dame Seacrest has only made me miss her more. Anyway, I didn't write about Soderbergh's paternity drama because I was waiting to see if it was just some random thing or if there was something juicy there.

As it turns out, Soderbergh did father a child with a woman in Australia, and he is acknowledging his paternity. BUT - the story is still strange. He and Jules are still together, but they're claiming that they were "separated" when Soderbergh fathered the child, back in December 2009.

The Oscar-winning filmmaker was slapped with a paternity suit Thursday in New York, filed by an Australian woman who claims they had an affair in December 2009 and he’s the father of her now 5-month-old daughter. Well, she’s apparently right. He admits to being the father and his smokin’ wife, model and former E! host Jules Asner, already knows all about it.

A source close to the couple confirms to E! News that Soderbergh and Asner were separated while he lived in Australia to direct a play he wrote, Tot Mom, which opened at the Sydney Theatre Company in December 2009.

The very month, “including but not limited to,” that Frances Lawrencina Anderson claims that she and the Traffic director had “sexual intercourse on many occasions covering all possible dates of [conception]…and as a result thereof, she became pregnant,” according to the suit filed Thursday in Manhattan Supreme Court.

He “has acknowledged that he is the father of the child verbally and by offering to pay various medical and other expenses incurred by [Anderson] in relation to the pregnancy,” the suit, obtained by the New York Daily News, continues.

True that. Our source says that Soderbergh came clean to his wife immediately upon hearing he had fathered a child and that he has been trying to work things out with Anderson for months.

“Steven really felt like he was trying to do the right thing and being very generous,” the source says. “They’ve been trying to settle this for almost a year.”

Soderbergh’s camp is convinced that Anderson went after the director where he lives because Australian law would only obligate him to financially provide for daughter Pearl Button Anderson, who was born Aug. 30, 2010. Stating that Anderson is not able to sufficiently support her daughter, the suit demands that Soderbergh pay for the mother’s health insurance, in addition to child support.

“It was a two-night stand, Steve and Jules are fine," says a source close to Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh, who’s married to Jules Asner. He was slapped with a paternity suit last week after having an affair with an Australian woman.

So what’s really going on here?

“He was down in Australia, directing a play,” said a source super-close to Stephen and his wife, Jules, who I used to work with at here E! “They were separated at the time, and, of course, this woman got pregnant, as luck would have it.”

Does he want to take care of the kid?

“Take care, yes,” said our tight S.S. insider, “but get to know? No. He just wants to pay for the child’s support, as he should.”

Soderbergh, we’re told, has been trying to settle the matter for almost a year, but the woman’s attorneys keep rejecting his offers. And then she decided to sue in the U.S., where she stands a greater chance of prevailing, at least monetarily.

“It was just a two-night affair,” reveals the Soderbergh source.

Also, our inside camper insists things are fine on the Jules/Steven front, and that they’re getting along well after their brief separation. Asner even joked to her husband, when he went off to work with Jude Law in the thriller he’s now directing, Contagion: “Well, at least you’ll have talking points with Jude.”

[From E! News - two stories]

Even if Soderbergh came clean to Jules about fathering a child, is it still weird that Jules would be cracking paternity jokes and that she and Steven are solid now? I don't know. I'm also not sure that I buy this whole "separation" story, but if that's what they're sticking with, so be it. Maybe Jules was initially upset but this other woman is just trying to cash in big time, and Jules is just supporting Steven during this time.

Sigh… I miss Steve Kmetko too.

Christina Aguilera threatens to fire anyone who suggests that she’s a hot mess

Posted: 07 Feb 2011 07:18 AM PST

As we already saw this morning, Christina Aguilera was a hot mess at the SuperBowl. I feel like I'm having a Jeff Foxworthy moment (pardon me for this, I live in Redneckville): You know you're a mess when you screw up the National Anthem at the SuperBowl. You know you're a mess when you pass out on Jeremy Renner's bed in the middle of an A-list party. You know you're a mess when you're compared to Britney Spears, and Britney comes out ahead. You know you're a mess when you're constantly drunk off your ass, all the time. Anyhoodle, Page Six has a piece this morning about Christina needing help, but refusing all offers:

Christina Aguilera, who sang the national anthem at the Super Bowl yesterday, has rejected pleas from her staff to get help after she drunkenly passed out on a bed at a Hollywood party.

The pop idol stumbled into “The Hurt Locker” star Jeremy Renner’s 40th birthday bash last month and was spotted lying on a bed before she was helped out of the party by her boyfriend, Matthew Rutler.

In the wake of her divorce from Jason Bratman and box-office bust “Burlesque,” sources tell us Aguilera has been acting erratically, and her staff banded together with a plan to persuade her to get some help. But when Aguilera caught wind of their plan, she threatened to fire all of them for even suggesting that she has a problem, a source told Page Six.

“They wanted to talk to her carefully about the issue, but they’re not going to because they are scared after she threatened to fire them,” a source close to Aguilera’s camp told us. "Her people desperately want this to come out so she will get help.”

However, a different source said the story that Aguilera needs help was being spread by a fired and disgruntled former staffer, and that in fact, she’s just dealing with a tough time in her life.

Aguilera has a history of axing her staff. After giving birth to her son, Max, in 2008, she reportedly threw a tantrum and fired her day-to-day manager, one of her assistants and her publicity firm BWR because she was displeased with a photo spread of her baby that ran in People magazine.

On the heels of her Super Bowl appearance, Aguilera plans to perform at the Grammy Awards on Sunday. A rep for the singer, asked about her recent behavior and her staff’s reaction to it, said, “No comment.”

[From Page Six]

Ha, I had forgotten that Christina has a history of being a temperamental bitch with her staff. That's so funny that people got fired over her People Magazine cover - I remember that cover too. It was awful - Christina was wearing a mountain of makeup, and it all just looked so cheesy and unnatural. Ooh… here it is! Look at her nose! So… she's had a nose job since then, right?

Anyway, Christina is a mess. And she's going to continue to be a mess until someone steps in and gives her a series of hard truths.

UPDATE: But no one is speaking the truth yet. Christina just released a statement about the National Anthem flub. She says: “I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place. I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through.” What did ou expect her to say? “I was so drunk, I don’t even remember messing up the line”?

The Super Bowl Commercials: which were your favorites?

Posted: 07 Feb 2011 06:59 AM PST

Thanks to SpikeTV for helping me come up with some of the top commercials at this year’s Superbowl, the longest of which was a two minute Chrysler commercial featuring Eminem which included a tour of Detroit. It’s unknown what that commercial cost Chrysler to air, but the cost of just 60 seconds of air time during this year’s Superbowl was estimated at $6 million. We’ve heard that the spot cost a whopping $9 million to produce and that Eminem was paid $1 million for his appearance. It was a really good commercial in my opinion, but whether it was worth the cost of a lower budget movie remains to be seen.

Chrysler - Eminem’s Detroit

I loved this Doritos commercial featuring the little tasty chips reviving a pet fish and saving the day. It had me laughing out loud.

Kim Kardashian’s Skechers commercial received a lot of advance buzz, but the result was predictably bad and innuendo-filled. She broke up with her trainer for her shoes. These shoes are marketed to women, right? Then how do they explain this commercial?

The Volkswagon Mini Vader commercial was a lot of people’s favorite as it featured the adventures of a little kid in costume doing adorable little kid stuff to movie music. The end was just genius and really appealed to the mom in me.

A beaver helps out a motorist in this clever Bridgestone commercial.

Kaiser’s favorite douche Adrien Brody somehow made women swoon and cry with his beak nose and crooning, or maybe they’re weeping the lack of Stella Artois beer. It wasn’t a great commercial.

Bud Light had a bunch of dogs as party servers in this cute commercial that reminded me of the movie Marmaduke. It kept me watching and the dogs playing poker bit at the end was funny.

This Audi commercial with rich people in their gilded jail was a dig at Mercedes that may not have been effective, but was sure interesting to watch. I loved the “release the hounds” bit along with the Kenny G cameo.

Diddy starred in this Mercedes commercial that had all the Mercedes in the world returning to their maker. Audi definitely won this one.

Roseanne Barr and Richard Lewis were featured in this Snickers commercial that had Roseanne getting knocked down by a giant log. I guess Rosie O’Donnell wasn’t available.

Justin Bieber and Ozzy Osbourne were in this futuristic commercial for Best Buy that tried to spoof itself and failed.

There are more of Superbowl commercials at Fox News Sports, Spike.com and Superbowl Fanhouse.

Update: Here’s more about the Darth Vader kid, who suffers from a congenital heart defect and has had multiple surgeries along with using a pacemaker. He seems like a sweet kid and I hope he’s ok but his stagemom bugs.

Is Lindsay Lohan’s handcuffed “perp walk” happening today?

Posted: 07 Feb 2011 06:48 AM PST

As we learned over the weekend, Lindsay Lohan's crack thieving ways could land her in jail, for real. TMZ's sources have been squawking for days about how Lindsay is definitely going to be charged with felony grand theft for the $2500 necklace she stole a few weeks ago. Now TMZ claims that it's definitely happening today, and now it's just a matter of whether Lindsay gets cuffed and taken in by police or whether she's allowed to turn herself in. Somewhere, Mother Crackhead is plotting a Thelma & Louise-style escape to Mexico with nothing but Ali, Lindsay and a brick of cocaine stolen from Charlie Sheen's house.

Lindsay Lohan could be getting a very unwanted TV role as early as today — accused felon in handcuffs, paraded before scores of cameras.

TMZ broke the story … Lindsay will be charged with felony grand theft as early as today.

An LAPD source tells TMZ … no decision has been made on whether an arrest warrant will be issued — which would then allow cops to find Lindsay, put her in cuffs, and walk her into the station in front of a gaggle of reporters.

There are other options. Authorities could make arrangements for Lindsay to voluntarily surrender at a location and in a manner that would avoid the cameras.

And there’s another possibility … The D.A. could allow Lindsay to surrender in court, at her arraignment. A perp walk in a shoplifting case is unusual, but not unheard of. It would certainly send a message.

[From TMZ]

Also - a "source close to Lindsay" (Mother Crackhead) told Radar that Lindsay thinks the prosecutor, Danette Meyers, is "out to get her" and is using all of these legal (crack) shenanigans to "get elected". Meyers spoke to Radar about the cracked-out claims, saying: "The D.A.’s Office has been fair and compassionate in prosecuting Ms. Lohan on her DUI. The same fairness and justice will be applied in determining whether or not to file charges in the present manner. I think her lawyer would agree with this statement. I believe justice was administered fairly and equitably.”

Also - remember how Lindsay knew that the cops had gotten a search warrant and everything? Well, Radar has another story now, and it's like a "Behind the Scenes At Crack Central". Apparently, Lindsay is a cracked-out liar, even to her inner circle. I know, that's SO SHOCKING. A source tells Radar: “Lindsay read Radar’s story about the necklace and freaked out. She couldn’t believe that cops had obtained a search warrant for her house. She told advisers close to her that she was never in Kamofie & Company, the jewelry store that she allegedly stole the necklace from. When it was pointed out to Lindsay that there was surveillance video of her in the store, the denials stopped. People in Lindsay’s inner circle say she lies all of the time. Some people believe one of the reasons she does is because Lindsay is trying to be a people pleaser.” Do believe that Lindsay is a crackhead liar because she's a people-pleaser? I don't. I think she's always lying about stuff because she's cracked out of her skull and she's always on the crack hustle, on the grift, and she's always working some angle.

Cameron Diaz hand-feeds Alex Rodriguez during the SuperBowl

Posted: 07 Feb 2011 06:17 AM PST

Something completely gross happened during the SuperBowl - Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez were there, and they were loved up. Loved up to the point where Camy was hand-feeding A-Rod. Like he was a baby bird and she was the mother bird. No, it wasn't that bad, and in their defense (why?), I think Alex's hands were full with other gluttonous pleasures, and Camy was just giving him a taste of whatever she had (popcorn?).

Ugh, Cameron, no dick is worth this. I don't even see how Alex is capable of pleasing a woman… but for argument's sake, let's say he is. Are A-Rod/Centaur orgasms worth this? The trips to Paris, the hand-feeding at the SuperBowl? It's a mess. And I'm losing respect for Cameron.

Jennifer Aniston is still BFFs with Chelsea Handler, appears on Chelsea Lately tonight

Posted: 07 Feb 2011 06:01 AM PST

Below is a little preview video of Jennifer Aniston's appearance on Chelsea Lately tonight - the show was pretaped days ago, and from the looks of the preview, Chelsea is still in major Aniston-ass-kissing mode. Aniston must have some kind special access to the best kind of tequila, right? Anyway, just in case you believed those "reports" that Aniston was trying to "distance" herself from Chelsea Handler - she's not. They're still BFFs.

If you have a tiny little Chihuahua, I understand the desire to dress your dog up. Sort of. I still think it's extremely embarrassing for the dog, but I get it when the dog is tiny. I do not understand dressing up a dog bigger than a cat. That's why Norman walked away - besides the overpowering booze fumes wafting off of his mom and his "Aunt" Chelsea. Norman was embarrassed. Dogs get embarrassed. It's mean to dress them up.

In other Chelsea Handler news, she's still boning Andre Balazs, so says Page Six:

Chelsea Handler and Andre Balazs continued their love affair in Dallas for Super Bowl weekend. The comedian and the Hungarian hotelier, who first hooked up during the Sundance Film Festival, were spotted making out at the Don Julio/1Oak Saturday night in Dallas. The couple partied together until about 2 a.m. alongside Jim Carrey, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Kid Rock and David Spade, who was spotted exiting the party with Selita Ebanks.

Chelsea took her man to Dallas for the SuperBowl? It must be love.

Black Eyed Peas’ SuperBowl half-time performance: meh or okay?

Posted: 07 Feb 2011 05:38 AM PST

Am I the only person in the world who thinks that the Black Eyed Peas are completely overrated? Like, I don't even consider their music to be pop music and radio-friendly. They always sound so disorganized and disjointed to me. Of course, I listen to lots of classic rock and folk crap, so maybe that's the problem. If you like the Peas, I guess you considered their Halftime performance as a career highlight…?

Yeah… I still don't get it. When I watched Nine, I had a moment of clarity that Fergie has an incredible voice, and I think it's really passive-aggressive of Will.I.am to never let her really sing. They always make her do that garbled half-rap thing. Ugh. I did like it when Usher came out though - maybe Usher should have done the whole Halftime show?

Lea Michele’s SuperBowl performance: too sugary or just perfect?

Posted: 07 Feb 2011 05:01 AM PST

Unlike CB, I noticed that Christina Aguilera botched the National Anthem, AND I also thought she looked like she was on something. Perhaps that was because Christina had to perform right after Lea Michele's sober ass performed "America the Beautiful" so the side-by-side comparison was stark. Even though my default Lea Michele position is set on "I want to smack her" I have to admit that Lea was perfect. She was dressed appropriately, she had a backing choir of servicemen and servicewomen (that she out-sang) and she hit every note and knew all the words.

Since I tuned in for the opening and then promptly changed the channel, I was struck by one question: Why didn't organizers ask Lea to sing the National Anthem? It's not like Christina's downward spiral isn't obvious to everyone, and Lea has a much cleaner and family-friendly image than Xtina. Maybe the SuperBowl organizers just wanted a bit of controversy?

Screencaps of the performance.
