| Paris Hilton on her weight gain: “now I’m a normal weight” Posted: 23 Feb 2011 09:02 AM PST
[From OK! Magazine, print edition, March 7, 2011] Paris has a new reality show coming on Oxygen, The World According to Paris, and I think she’ll soon find that people don’t really care. Her fame piqued in 2007. She might be more likeable now but that doesn’t translate into interest in whatever project she’s taking on. At least she’s setting a better example now that she’s off the coke (presumably) and isn’t a stick insect. Maybe this guy is the one for her though. He got her to eat something. He does look like a douche, but so is she. Paris is shown on 2/18 outside the Late Show. Credit: PRPhotos. She’s also shown on 2/18 with Cy. Credit: Fame

| Natalie Portman’s Miss Dior Cherie commercial: tragic or cute? Posted: 23 Feb 2011 08:32 AM PST
Ugh. Below is the new commercial for Miss Dior Cherie perfume, starring Natalie Portman. Natalie is also the face of the perfume in print ads too, which I think were probably done before Natalie was pregnant, or when she was just a few months into conceiving her conception. I don't even have words for how much I dislike this commercial. It was directed by Sofia Coppola, and it uses the famous Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin song, "Je t’aime…moi non plus”. But I didn't realize that at first, and I thought Natalie Portman was singing - Birkin sounds like Natalie, or vice versa. It's just awkward. Like, it was aiming for girly and fun-sexy, but it's odd seeing Natalie pretend to be silly and fun while her default expression is "Imma gonna cut somebody" bitchface. In the last shot, where she undoes the tie from her neck, she looks less provocative and more pissed off. And I hate the way the dude jerks Natalie back onto the bed. It seems rude.

| Kate Middleton’s wedding secrets: fruitcake, hats & snotty palace insiders Posted: 23 Feb 2011 08:05 AM PST
People Magazine dearly wants to be Royal Wedding Headquarters. The problem is that Kate Middleton and Prince William aren't releasing a lot of interesting information about the wedding. We still don't have a confirmation about Kate's dress, and I swear to God, last night my mother and I just had a heated conversation about how we were worried about Waity Kate's taste level for bridalwear. Chances are pretty good that Kate is going with British designer Bruce Oldfield, whose wedding dresses are overwhelmingly boring. We also found out this week that Kate has chosen a hat designer for her bridal party. The hat designer is Philip Treacy, and he might be making some kind of gaudy headpiece for Kate too:
[From People] Jesus, I hope Kate doesn't wear some tacky hat to her wedding. Diana wore the Spencer tiara for the wedding, and somebody designed the veil around that. Now, I think Kate would be criticized if she borrowed royal jewels for her bridal headpiece, but I have a big fear that she's going to decide to do something horrible. Anyway, People Magazine has some additional details about the wedding too:
[From People] "Leaving as HRH whatever…" Ha! Snotty palace sources. It's up in the air as to what Kate's title will be exactly - sources claim that William is pushing for the Queen to make Kate a full princess in her own right, meaning their titles would be HRH Prince William of Wales and HRH Princess Catherine. If she's not made a princess on her own, she would simply be HRH Princess William of Wales. There's also the possibility that William would get his own title, like he would become a duke or viscount of something, and Kate would get to be the appropriate consort title, like HRH Catherine, The Duchess of Biscuits or whatever. Sigh… why is there not already a Duke and Duchess of Biscuits? Lord and Lady Crumpets? One last thing, regarding the wedding cake: fruitcake. Seriously. Ugh.

| Owen Wilson on being a new dad - he scopes out potential nap spots Posted: 23 Feb 2011 07:50 AM PST
[From US Weekly] Owen also said that his son is named after his grandfather (Owen’s dad), Robert, but would probably go by his middle name, Ford. He joked that when his kid was older and he needs to get him to concentrate on his homework he’ll tell him “Ford focus.” For his first birthday, he’ll have a “Ford fiesta.” As for little Ford’s personality, he said “he’s so cute, he becomes sort of a little scenestealer when he comes into the room. Without even saying a lot he kind of has a Steve McQueen in Magnificent Seven [presence].” He also repeated the same thing he said earlier about how Ford looks like “other babies,” and that he couldn’t see a resemblance at this point. There’s some question about the paternity of Owen’s son. His girlfriend’s ex seems to be talking smack about her to the tabloids, and has brought the timeline of her pregnancy into question. Many of you pointed out that Owen probably got a paternity test to confirm that he’s the dad. Owen seems to be in a good place right now. He talked about how great he felt while he was throwing the ball around during the pre-game show at the Superbowl. You can tell that he’s exhausted but so thrilled to be a new dad. Things have really turned around for him.

| Kim Zolciak, 32 (ha), reveals her six-month baby bump in a bikini Posted: 23 Feb 2011 07:31 AM PST
If I was Natalie Portman, I would be completely pissed that Life & Style put me on the same cover as RHOA's Kim Zolciak. And that Kim goes first in the lineup! Goodness. But Life & Style got an exclusive with Kim, including this bikini photo with Kim showing off her six month bump (?). That's what she's claiming, anyway. I looked it up - Kim announced her pregnancy to L&S back on November 22, and she showed off her bump then too, claiming that she was three months pregnant at the time. So… at six months, she doesn't even look that much bigger than when she was three months. Whatever, I'm not going to overanalyze it. I will say that I got a chuckle out of Kim's continued insistence that she's 32 years old, though.
[From Life & Style] My goodness. Well, I'm glad she seems so happy and content. This Kroy guy seems like a meathead, but hey, some guys just like trashy women. Maybe Kim is just really, really good in bed. Maybe Kroy likes her wigs. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Here was the November photo of Kim and Kroy:

| Ginnifer Goodwin’s sketchy hair & other Costume Gala photos Posted: 23 Feb 2011 07:09 AM PST
As CB mentioned in the Halle Berry story, last night was the Costume Designers Guild Awards, and some nice-looking ladies and gentlemen came out to support their costumers. Halle Berry was one of the biggest names there - she wore this red Elie Saab gown that I personally find too fussy, but whatever. Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were also there, but I haven't been able to find any photos of them yet - it seems like they either didn't walk the red carpet, or only a few photo agencies got photos of their red carpet walk. Ginnifer Goodwin - I can't even look at the dress, I'm so focused on what is happening with her hair. It is… odd. I like her with short hair too, but this is…too butch, I think.
Kristen Davis in this polka-dotted confection. I should hate it, but the bitch works it. I think she looks great.
Diane Lane - hate it. Hate the dress, hate the hair, hate the (lack of) makeup. She's such a beautiful woman, and she just looks like hell here.
Claire Danes in Lanvin. The dress is okay, but I hate her hair. When she pushed her hair back like that, she looks bug-eyed.
And a little Matt Bomer for dessert. So cute. SO fancy.

| Us Weekly: Rihanna & Ryan Phillippe have been boning all along Posted: 23 Feb 2011 06:35 AM PST
Last week, Us Weekly claimed that Ryan Phillippe and Amanda Seyfried's nearly four-month relationship had "cooled off". Their proof was that Ryan was acting like he was a single dude, out and about in LA, and that he ran into Rihanna and tried to hit on her. Us Weekly claimed Rihanna was all "Whatev, I'm not interested" (I'm paraphrasing). Now Us Weekly has a "source" (whose name rhymes with "Byan Billippe") who claims that Ryan and RiRi have totally been hooking up this whole time. In fact, "They totally had sex." What is this, ninth grade?
[From Us Weekly] It's not that I think Rihanna is somehow "above" hooking up with randoms for hot sex on the downlow. Rihanna is totally doing that. All the time, in my opinion. My problem is with the idea of Ryan Phillippe specifically. I mean - Rihanna is at the top of her game. She could do a lot better, even for a down-low shamef–k. CoughcoughColinFarrellcough. Which brings me to the fun question: who would be your down-low dude (or dudette)? Colin Farrell is a good one, in my opinion. Ed Westwick is also near the top. Eli Roth is also one of mine, and I think I would also bone T.I. on the DL.

| Halle Berry’s half sister says that their dad wasn’t abusive and wasn’t an alcoholic Posted: 23 Feb 2011 06:12 AM PST
Renee, 51, has a new interview with The Daily Mail and she doesn’t pull punches when it comes to her relationship with Halle and some of the things that Halle has said about her father. Halle’s dad had Renee with another woman before he met Halle’s mom. The way Renee tells it, their dad liked to drink and he did spank them, but he wasn’t abusive like Halle claims. Renee also says that Halle has cut herself off from their side of the family, and that the would love to meet Nahla.
I hate that I’m defending Halle but both Halle and Renee could be right about their dad. It’s possible that Renee remembers it one way and Halle remembers it another, or that their dad was abusive to Halle’s mom but not to Renee’s mom. Also, the stuff about being estranged from the “African American” side of their family was written by The Daily Mail and Halle’s sister didn’t directly say that. She just said that she’s upset that Halle hasn’t talked to her in over five years. Halle is not the most stable or reasonable person but we don’t know the history there. Her sister seemed earnest about wanting a relationship with Halle and her quotes weren’t that sensational. The fact that Renee is so willing to talk to the press makes me question her side of the story, though. Halle Berry was at the Costume Designers Guild awards last night in Beverly Hills and she looked amazing. That draped red dress would earn her best dressed at the Oscars. It’s gorgeous.

| Did Billy Ray Cyrus just use the media to emotionally blackmail Miley? Posted: 23 Feb 2011 06:06 AM PST
Well, it looks like Billy Ray Cyrus got hit with the Disney Hammer. Either that, or Miley has gift for getting her dad to shut his piehole. After Billy Ray went rogue in an extensive GQ interview, published last week, the repercussions are still being felt. Miley and her team seem to still be in damage-control mode, and Miley and Tish have been doing photo-ops, trying to convince us that all is well. Plus, The Mullet was forced to cancel his appearance on The View this week, with either Disney or his daughter pulling the strings. Now The Rogue Mullet has given a statement to People Magazine where he seems like he's trying to walk back some of his more confrontational GQ comments:
[From People] So… he's ringing the "privacy" bell? Now? Billy Ray and Miley have never cared about privacy. Ever. My take on this situation, and this is just my theory, my opinion: I think Billy Ray was and is genuinely concerned for Miley, and he truly thinks the people around Miley are damaging her more than helping her. The Mullet's problem is that the GQ interview reads in part like a father emotionally blackmailing his wayward daughter. Beyond the genuine concern for Miley, there is the lament and self-imposed martyrdom of a conservative father who can no longer exert any control on his wild daughter. The Mullet seemed to be attempting to control his daughter, or at least make some kind of impact on her negatively, out in the public sphere. Perhaps that was the only card he had left to play - he says in the interview that he and Miley haven't been speaking much. My guess is that after the interview, Miley did contact him and that she's the one calling many of the shots now, and that Billy is relenting and pulling back from his public comments now because he got what he wanted: more time with Miley. UPDATE: Damn, I wrote this story before I saw Us Weekly’s cover story this week - Miley Cyrus has been “destroyed by Daddy”. Yep. Sounds about right.

| Melissa Leo says ‘it didn’t feel appropriate’ to play Mark Walhberg’s mother Posted: 23 Feb 2011 06:01 AM PST
As the Huffington Post points out, Leo backtracks a little in her interview with The Daily Beast, and at first makes it sound like someone else advised her to do those bizarre ads, for which she was widely criticized. She does admit a little later that it was her idea and that she thought it was fun. She also talked about her role in The Fighter, saying that she wasn’t on board with it at first because it “didn’t feel appropriate” to play the mother of Mark Walhberg’s character, as he’s just 11 years younger than her.
[From The Daily Beast] I have to admit to not knowing much about Leo prior to this. She comes across as vulnerable yet jaded in this article. That just could be due to the way the piece was edited though. It must be hard to be a little-known working actress for decades, and to make a few missteps once you’re in the spotlight. She’s definitely earning accolades and roles now and hopefully things will go easier for her. She also deserves some credit for not jacking her face up. She’s 50 and it doesn’t look like she’s had anything done yet. As an aside, I learned in that Daily Beast article that Leo used to be on the soap “All My Children” in 1984. Here’s a link to a video with her character.
