Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry are competing to spoil Nahla the most

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 09:16 AM PDT

fp_6789581_aubry_gabrielnah
There are some blurbs about Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry in this week’s tabloids. Although it looks like they’ve called a truce in their custody battle for now, they may not be behaving like mature adults who want to coparent without conflict. According to In Touch (yes, I know) they were each planning to spoil their daughter Nahla, with expensive gifts for her third birthday, which was Wednesday. (Happy Birthday Nahla!)

According to a friend, Halle and ex Gabriel Aubry spent a fortune trying to outdo each other for the tot’s March 16 birthday. On March 4, Gabriel ordered a $500 birthday cake from Sweet Lady Jane, while Halle spent $4,000 on toys and stuffed animals as birthday presents for the little girl. “It’s almost like they’re fighting for Nahla’s love,” a friend says. They’re both spoiling her more than ever. The exes are in New York so Gabriel can be with his little girl while Halle films New Year’s Eve in the city. “They have to cooperate on some things, even though they hate it,” says the insider. “So far, this adorable child seems unaware of this tension between them.”

[From In Touch, print edition, March 28, 2011]

This could be crap, but I buy that they’re both trying to show how much they care through presents. That happens when parents get divorced. At least for Nahla’s sake Gabriel wants to be in her life and is a devoted father, as much as Halle seems to wish he was out of the picture.

The National Enquirer has another story about how Halle is justifying her anger and outbursts on the tapes Gabriel allegedly has of her (Oksana style) over the phone. She thinks it’s normal to get spitting mad and screamy, that Gabriel deserved it and there’s no reason to take it out of context and vilify her for it:

Halle Berry, who allegedly possesses a volatile temper, desperately does not want fans to hear her raging rants in phone calls recorded by baby daddy Gabriel Aubry - which will leak if their custofy battle over daughter Nahla goes to court. Barry has admitted to her legal team: “I did yet at him because I thought he deserved it, but I realize to some people I might sound like I am out of control - I do sound that way when I’m angry, even though it’s not who I truly am.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, Mike Walker's column, March 28, 2011]

Walker goes on to point out that this is pretty much what Mel Gibson said too. We just don’t get it, they were driven to do it, and it’s justified - only it isn’t, it’s abusive and uncalled for. Halle could be playing nice with Gabe because she knows he’s got the dirt on her and there’s no way to justify the way she acted. She’s keeping it in check for the sake of her image.

Kate Middleton is allegedly fighting with Camilla, the Queen & William’s hairline

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 08:41 AM PDT

wenn3224194

I promised you more Waity stories, and I'm delivering! Earlier this morning, we heard Mohamed al-Fayed's crazy rant about how the Nazis are plotting against Kate Middleton. Now we have the additional random gossip stories. First, I'd like to thank the American tabloids for being so interested in the royal wedding. I think many Americans enjoy stories about Waity and Will, and we deserve American versions of the British gossip.

Okay, now on to the stories: The Enquirer's Mike Walker has two hilarious stories about Kate and Will this week. The first one is all about Camilla Parker-Bowles "plotting" against Kate in the most random way - apparently, Camilla was the one to approve a rather disastrous-looking Royal Mint coin (below) in which Kate Middleton looked kind of drag queen-y. Kate complained to a friend: "They even etched wrinkles on the side of my mouth! Why must they always make me look bad?" Walker's source says: "Kate was so upset. She said, 'They go out of their way to picture William in the best possible light - not a wrinkly in sight and LOTS of hair on his head. But me? They give me hideous wrinkles!'" BUT - Williams told Kate, "The Queen doesn't like complainers, and she's the one who approved the coin.”

coin

Speaking of William's hair problem, Mike Walker also claims that William has taken to wearing a "bizarre headgear ringed with LED lights" that he "mail ordered after a friend hyped the contraption - a laser-hair rejuvenation helmet that zaps scalp follicles with LED light therapy." William wants hair on his wedding day, you see. Poor guy. Just shave it, Will!

Now, Star Magazine also has a kind of boring report about the Palace being a "a hotbed of old-school fuddy-duddies who are convinced William should be marrying an aristocrat. The knives are out for Kate even though the greatest day of her life is just weeks away!" Also - there's a chance Prince Andrew might not come to the wedding, because of his recent scandal involving taking money from a convicted pedophile: "Andrew has been told his presence would just ruin the chance to relaunch the monarchy as a real force for good in the world's eyes."

Oh! And Camilla and Kate's mom Carole both wanted to wear canary yellow to the wedding! Camilla heard about Carole's yellow dress, though, and changed her dress to a pink one. And Camilla, Kate and Carole are all fighting over Kate's alleged McQueen gown too - Camilla hates it, apparently, but some say she just doesn't want "to be seen agreeing with Kate." AND! The Palace really, really does not want William and Kate to have a trashy, common, peasanty kiss at the altar. Says one official type, "A gentle peck on the cheek is sufficient." Tut-tut, Lady Crumpets.

Last story - yesterday, one of Kate's most famous ensembles sold at auction for $125,871. The ensemble (seen below) was the lingerie Kate wore in 2002 at a charity runway show attended by Prince William. According to Us Weekly, "William reportedly paid about $317 for his seat at the show. It’s widely believed that it was the first time that the heir to the British throne noticed his pretty classmate in a romantic light. They began dating soon thereafter." Such is the lore.

Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl hates ‘Glee’ and Ryan Murphy too

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 07:43 AM PDT

wenn3221355

As I've mentioned before, I don't watch Glee. It's not that I dislike musicals - I actually love musicals. Real musicals. But I don't enjoy the vibe of Glee, with it's ridiculous high school setting and what amounts to glorified Karaoke. Plus, the people in the show annoy the hell out of me. Lea Michele? I want to smack her. Matthew Morrison? Zzzzz. Dianna Agron? Double zzzz. That 40 year old Jeremy Piven-esque douche with the Mohawk? Ugh.

Anyway, as Glee's popularity seems to be waning, more and more rock stars are speaking out about their hatred for Glee. Slash was one of the first to say he didn't give a crap and wasn't going to license his songs for the show. Then in January, the Kings of Leon and Glee creator Ryan Murphy got into a public bitch-fight over song-licensing, which quickly devolved into a faux-homophobic controversy. Now Dave Grohl, former Nirvana bandmate and current lead of the Foo Fighters, is calling out Murphy and Glee in a new interview:

When it comes to using his band’s songs on ‘Glee,’ the Foos frontman sides with Kings of Leon and Slash in the licensing battle. Don't count on hearing the Foo Fighters hit "Times Like These" on Glee anytime soon. Frontman Dave Grohl says he and his bandmates are squarely in the corner of Kings of Leon and Slash. As in, they want no part of the Ryan Murphy-helmed show.

"It's every band's right, you shouldn't have to do f—ing Glee," Grohl told THR following the premiere of Foo Fighters: Back and Forth, the new Foo Fighters documentary which just made its South By Southwest debut. "And then the guy who created Glee is so offended that we're not, like, begging to be on his f—ing show… f— that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do Glee."

You might be wondering, has Grohl ever actually watched the show? As it turns out, yes, he gave Glee a whirl. "I watched 10 minutes. It's not my thing," Grohl grizzled. But he doesn't have as much of a problem with the series as he does with its creator.

Recounting anti-Glee comments made by Slash earlier this year and subsequent retorts by Murphy, reported by THR, Grohl explained to drummer Taylor Hawkins: "The Glee guy, what a f—ing jerk. Slash was the first one. He wanted to do Guns 'n' Roses and Slash is like, 'I hate f—ing musicals. It's worse than Grease.' Then [Murphy's] like, 'Well, of course he'd say that, he's a washed up ol' rock star, that's what they f—ing do.' And then Kings of Leon say, 'No, we don't want to be on your show.' And then he's like, 'Snotty little assholes…' And it's just like, Dude, maybe not everyone loves Glee. Me included."

Said Hawkins: "Yeah, f— that sh-t."

[From The Hollywood Reporter]

You know what I love about these quotes? I love that Dave recounted everything that went down between Ryan Murphy and these rock stars. Like, Dave was paying attention and he has a gossip-writer's memory for details and chronology. I love him now. He and I are the same person.

Anyway, I can't wait to see what Ryan Murphy says about this. You know he's going to have another epic douche meltdown.

Claire Danes on plastic surgery: “I don’t think anyone should judge anyone”

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 07:17 AM PDT

wenn3230373

I've been having a love affair with Claire Danes lately. I'd always been rather "meh" on her, even back when she was first popular, with My So-Called Life and Romeo + Juliet. I just thought she was pretty and pretty overrated, nothing special. Then I saw Temple Grandin… I had no idea how talented Claire was and is. That movie is so good, and Claire's performance is so amazing, I just kind of love her now. Considering my love, I'm giving her a pass on what she says in a new interview with Stylist. Claire talks about plastic surgery and how we shouldn't "judge" women for mangling their faces.

Claire on dyeing her hair: “I’ve been coloring it since I was 13, when I did ‘My So Called Life,’ I have no idea what my real color is! I look at my brother and say, ‘Oh, that’s what I would look like.’ I identify my current blonde as my ‘base color,’ so I return to it when I literally have to wash a character out of my hair. I’m pretty passive about this stuff, so I trust [my colorist friend Steven Amendola]. If he decides to go lighter because it’s spring, I just say, ‘uh huh.’”

Claire on plastic surgery: “I’m really fortunate in that I’m still quite young, and can get away with a lot, and my body is very forgiving. We’ll see how things progress. I think it’s great that women have so much choice now, and choice in products that are backed by science. As long as people are aware of potential risks, and they’re working closely with a doctor, I say go for it. These are real intimate personal decisions, and I don’t think anyone should judge anyone."

On her new gig on a TV show called Homeland: “It’s a political psychological thriller based on a show that’s very popular in Israel right now. I play a CIA officer. She’s very bright and daring, and takes a lot of risks that get her into trouble… I got to go to the real CIA headquarters at Langley [Virginia], and it was fun! There really are spies out there, doing very spy-y things.”

[From Stylist]

Now, I've long maintained that what really bothers me about celebrities and plastic surgery is when someone lies about their work when their work is really, really obvious. See: Kim Kardashian and Nicole Kidman. As I get older, though, I'm finding myself less tolerant of this "whatever you need to make yourself feel better" attitude. I'm committed to aging naturally. That's my choice and I'm sticking to it, not because I'm so much better than women who choose to work on their faces, but because I see women - celebrities - every day who mangle their natural good looks with stupid plastic surgery. Working here has completely scared me off of even considering it - I don't want to be a hideous cat-faced monstrosity.

But yeah, every woman had the right to make her own choices about aging and plastic surgery. Just as I have the right to say you looked better before you did all that junk.

Jeff Bridges handed out food to homeless people after the Golden Globes

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 07:13 AM PDT

fp_6736776_api_truegrit_ber
This story comes from Mike Walker in the National Enquirer. Walker regularly runs celebrity hero stories that seem implausible and too good to be true. I know this and I’ve read his column for years, but I still got choked up hearing this story about how Jeff Bridges allegedly collected food after the Golden Globes and handed it out to homeless people afterwards. Somehow only Walker has this story, which again could be fan fiction. It’s still really touching and sounds like something Bridges would do.

After attending the Golden Globes, Jeff raised eyebrows when he raided tables and the kitchen area for food, stuffing several bags with cold cuts, bread, cookies, cakes, cheeses, crackers and an array of leftover gourmet meals. Jeff’s assistants humped the mini-deli of yummies out to his limo while he exited via the red carpet and signed autographs for clamoring fans. Said my source “When Jeff finally got into the limo, he directed his chauffeur to a freeway underpass on the outskirts of L.A. When they pulled up, Jeff hopped out, waved a band of about a dozen homeless people over to the car - then started handing out the bags of food. After chatting a while, the star - who’s actually made several trips to the same underpass, passing out warm bedding and clothing as well as food - got back in his limo and took off as the homeless people applauded and cheered!”

[From National Enquirer, print edition, Mike Walker's column, March 28, 2011]

I like to think that Bridges has a soft spot for the homeless, that he took time out on the night of the Globes to deliver food, and that he’s been quietly doing charity work without telling anyone for years. That would be the Bridges we know and love, the nice guy who doesn’t seek publicity for his good deeds.

Mohamed al-Fayed warns Kate Middleton about Prince Philip, Camilla & Nazis

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 06:41 AM PDT

wenn5312351

This week's tabloids are chock full of Kate Middleton gossip, some of it completely ridiculous, and some of it just plain creepy. Since I don't want to transcribe every single little detail, I'm just going to do the most interesting highlights from various stories, split up into two posts.

First, The National Enquirer got an "exclusive" interview with Mohamed al-Fayed, the father of Dodi al-Fayed, who was dating Princess Diana at the time of her death, and who died with Diana in the Paris tunnel. At this point, al-Fayed is pretty much famous for her grief and his ability to give crazy interviews claiming everything under the sun about Diana and Dodi, and how the royal family is full of murderers. As you can imagine, he's a thorn in the royal family's side, and now he's trying to become a thorn in Kate Middleton's side too. Here's part of his long, crazy interview with The Enquirer:

"Kate, just like Diana, has no idea the price you have to pay when exchange vows with a Windsor," Mohamed, 78, told the Enquirer. "Prince William lived with me when he was a young boy, and I have seen him grow up to become a wonderful man. England should be proud he will become the king. He has his mother's charm, and I can completely understand why Kate has fallen in love with him. But the price to pay will be too great. There is an albatross hanging round William's neck. It is having the last name Windsor. The Windsors will do their utmost to destroy his bride. I have no doubt William will always love her. He is much more of a man than his father Prince Charles could ever be. But the stress of dealing with her poisonous in-laws could prove too much for Kate."

"Diana would be proud to see what a charming man William has become. But if she had been alive today, Diana would also be the first to caution Kate about marrying into this family. I have always had the utmost respect for Her Majesty the Queen, but I have no respect for her husband Prince Philip. Philip grew up with Nazis. He is the evil force behind the family. The public has already fallen in love with Kate. Philip must already be fearing her. His usual tactic is to get his henchmen, those crusty old courtiers who know every little secret, to begin a smear campaign."

"[Also]… when Camilla Parker-Bowles realizes that the people love Kate more than her, she could also join the hate campaign."

"I am sure if Dodi and Diana were alive today, they would be happily married… but I also think that Diana would be the first to warn Kate about what she is getting involved with."

[From The National Enquirer, print edition]

Okay… um. I think Mohamed is a crazy old dude, and it really bothers me how he's "adopted" Diana in his mind, and he actually thinks he's speaking on her behalf. I don't think Diana and Dodi would be married today. I think Diana would have dumped Dodi at the end of that summer, the summer of 1997. Also: yes, Prince Philip's family does have a history with Nazis - I believe three (?) of his sisters ended up married to Nazis, and most of his family supported the Axis powers during World War II. But Philip was a British naval officer during the war, and interestingly enough, his mother saved hundreds (maybe thousands) of Jews during the war - she became a nun and hid Greek and European Jews, and helped transport them to safety.

But I digress. Mohamed al-Fayed is bonkers. Poor Waity.

Sister Wives stars support gay marriage; say felony case against them is closed

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 06:21 AM PDT

sisterwivesheader
The stars of the worlds first polygamist reality show, Sister Wives, claim to support gay marriage. When they were asked about it, dad Kody said he didn’t think that the “state should be involved in marriage.” His second wife Janelle added “Every adult should have the right to marry and love who they want.” Given the Mormon church’s stance on gay marriage, it’s nice to hear that they have a more progressive take on it. This shows they’re not hypocrites - sort of. I mean it’s not like Kody is letting his wives take other lovers (male or female) and you know that would flip him out. Here’s what they told In Touch:

After facing criticism over their polygamist lifestyle, the stars of TLC’s Sister Wives are speaking out in favor of gay marriage. “I actually believe the state should never be involved in marriage,” patriarch Kody Brown, who has four wives and 16 children, exclusively tells In Touch. “That is a religious choice, or it is a personal choice. It is not something that the state is dictating.”

His wives - legal wife Meri, plus Janelle, Christine and Robyn agree. “Every adult should have the right to marry and love who they want,” says Janelle. Adds Meri, “We try to teach our kids: Don’t judge other people.”

[From In Touch, print edition, March 28, 2011]

(Possibly known) spoilers for upcoming season of Sister Wives
It’s known that Kody and the gang move to Nevada as some sort of finale for this season, as TMZ reported in January. The Brown family is already there now, but on the show they’re still in Utah and we’re watching the fallout from when they first went public. (I have only seen half of the first episode this season and will catch up this weekend. Nothing major happened so far that I’ve seen.) It turns out they don’t move to a remote part of the state - they move to Vegas and all of the women get separate homes! Kody enthused about how happy he was about this to Star Magazine and he even did a flip for them, which they included a photo of. He also said the case against him in Utah for felony bigamy has been closed.

“I just have so much energy,” he exclaimed. And he should - the second season of his TLC reality show featuring life with his four wives and 16 children premiered March 13. This time around, the Browns have traded Utah for Nevada. “My fantasy was always to live in Vegas,” he says. “It’s a good place to build a business. And the sunsets are to die for.” Another perk: His wives live in separate homes, and Kody spends each night in a different one. No wonder he’s flipping!

[From Star Magazine, print edition, March 28, 2011]

The housing crisis hit the Vegas area hard and there are probably plenty of homes to snatch up at low prices, but Kody sounds like an ass here. He already has his cake, more than a dozen kids, and is still gloating about how happy he is that he gets to live in Vegas now that he’s cashed in on his family’s notoriety. Why does he love it there so much? Is he hoping to add a fertile showgirl to the mix? I agree with them that adults should be able to live with other consenting adults and I like that they realize that should include same sex couples. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to rag on Kody for being a selfish doofus with double standards.

Here’s Kody and Robyn out shopping in Salt Lake City, Utah on 10/9/10. Credit: Fame

Jessica Simpson gets cold feet about her wedding to her “annoying” K-Fed

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 06:00 AM PDT

fp_6928483_ang_simpsonjessica_paris_01_08

This one story has made me respect Jessica Simpson. It's probably not true, as it comes from In Touch Weekly, but I really, really hope there's a grain of truth in here. According to ITW, Jessica Simpson's dong-haze has worn off and now she's looking at Eric Johnson and thinking, "Gee, I wonder if I could do better than this K-Fed mofo." Apparently, Jess hasn't set a wedding date, and she changes the subject whenever the wedding is brought up, all because Eric has been annoying the fart out of her.

Jessica Simpson didn't hesitate before saying "yes" to her boyfriend of barely six months, Eric Johnson, when he proposed in November. But four months later, she still can't commit to a date.

"I don't think she's in any hurry," her father, Joe, confirms to In Touch. And that could spell big trouble for the couple.

"Whenever her wedding comes up, she changes the subject," says a friend.

What has caused her to hit the brakes?

"She feels stressed and overworked," an insider close to Jessica tells In Touch. "She travels almost every week and has a lot of people who depend on her. She is not feeling as excited as she should be about getting married."

But the more Jessica stalls the wedding, the more needy Eric seems to get. Every time they're out in public lately, he holds her as close as possible. And while Jessica was once more than happy to lean on Eric, his clinginess is now killing their once-hot romance.

"She used to be so into Eric," notes the insider. "But they are together all of the time, and it's starting to annoy her."

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

I would love it if Jessica turned to Eric and asked, "Dude, why don't you have a job?" But she won't. She's already put him on her payroll and he travels with her constantly. I've begun to think of Eric like I think of Matthew Rutler, Christina Aguilera's "handler/boyfriend". Both Eric and Matthew are basically just their ladies' assistants, go-to sexual partners and designated drivers. I think their main job description is "don't let the girl get too wasted, and when she does get blitzed, take her home." Ah, romance.

I like to think that Jessica's thought process, below, is "Bitch, did I say you could speak?"

Vanessa Hudgens sends out mass e-mail blaming two ex friends for nude photo leak

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 05:57 AM PDT

fp_6994293_hudgens_vanessa_
Yesterday we got an e-mail from someone claiming that there was a big conspiracy by some ex friends of Vanessa Hudgens to systematically leak nude photos of her prior to every movie she had coming out. This has happened over three years, where every time Vanessa has a film she needs to promote we just happen to see nude photos of her online. It’s dumb and predictable, but what’s more ridiculous is this long e-mail trying to finger two of Vanessa’s ex friends for it. They sent this to us too, and Kaiser and I looked it over and made the decision not to publish it because it sounded like complete bullsh*t. The Superficial has posted it though, so we may as well add our two cents. This sounds like an excuse Vanessa cooked up. When people make up lies, there’s a tendency to oversell, and this is a definite oversell. I’m not going to include the whole e-mail here - you can read it at The Superficial, but here’s a segment.

In 2006, Kayslee and Alexa were close friends of Vanessa, but they later drifted apart due to Vanessa's work commitments (The High School Musical movies). Vanessa was especially fond of Alexa, even inviting her to star in her debut music video, to make up for the fact that she had been too busy to spend time with her.

Later that year, Alexa suggested that Vanessa take some racy pictures to keep her boyfriend interested. Vanessa agreed and privately took some naked photos of herself. Kayslee then took photos of Vanessa and Alexa kissing. Alexa and Kayslee took no nude photos of themselves.

Vanessa took more nude photos that year and the next, but she was careful and deleted the pictures from her mobile phone. Vanessa uploaded her pictures to her email account and sent them to her boyfriend, like Alexa had suggested. On one of these occasions, she did this while she was at Alexa's house. Alexa downloaded the pictures onto her computer when Vanessa accidentally left her email account logged in.

Since September 2007, Alexa and her friend Kayslee have been leaking Vanessa's pictures every time she has movie coming out. I believe this is because of them being jealous of her successful movie career.

[Received via e-mail, entire version on The Superficial]

I used the social media search tool Spokeo to run the e-mail address this was sent from and it turned up no accounts associated with this address. There was also a Flickr account mentioned in this e-mail to show that one of the girls named here was friends with Hudgens or something. The Flickr account did exist, but there’s no google cache of it and it doesn’t prove anything.

So according to that e-mail, Vanessa wasn’t the one who decided to take those sexy pictures, it was her friend’s idea and her friend’s fault and there’s this big conspiracy to leak the photos to get her publicity before every movie. These girls are just “jealous” of her career, which is such an incredibly predictable cliche excuse.

Then there’s also this drama going on with the story of some ring of hackers allegedly targeting celebrities. (At first TMZ reported it was just women, then their story changed.) TMZ now claims that a bunch of celebrities, sports stars and politicians were victims and the FBI is looking into it. The FBI could be looking into Vanessa’s case, but what does that prove other than the fact that someone contacted them on her behalf? I used to think TMZ was pretty solid when it came to sources, but they regularly run stories from celebrities, like Lohan and Gibson, and act like they’re true without questioning them at all. This story stinks to high heaven.

If this elaborate hacker ring story is true, why haven’t we seen any photos other than Vanessa’s? Granted maybe she had the best ones, but why haven’t we seen any leaked e-mails then? It just seems like yet another smokescreen her people are using to try and deflect from the conclusion that she’s doing this herself. It’s far fetched and doesn’t add up, just like that dumb e-mail. Read what TMZ wrote:

The hackers who are now being investigated by the FBI for allegedly pilfering nude photos and videos of 50 Hollywood celebrities have also been targeting sports stars and D.C.’s most powerful.

Sources connected to the hackers tell TMZ … the cyber-crooks currently have 100 active email addresses of celebrities, politicians and sports stars. We do not know the identity of the sports stars or politicians, but they are all high-profile.

TMZ broke the story … the hackers have snagged nude photos and videos from female stars including Vanessa Hudgens, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Ali Larter and Demi Lovato. There are no male celebs on the list.

The FBI knows the identity of the ringleader, law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

As for Vanessa Hudgens, our sources say the hackers may have obtained the pictures and videos through a friend who betrayed the actress.

[From TMZ]

So, according to this story there was a ring of hackers and they targeted a bunch of celebrities but Vanessa’s photos are the only ones that got out. Vanessa’s friends knew these hackers and just gave them her photos where the other celebrities whose e-mails and photos we haven’t seen were hacked by the same people. (And even assuming that the “friend’s” e-mail account storing Vanessa’s photos was hacked, how the hell would they know which random e-mail to break into?) Does that make any sense at all? TMZ adds the air of legitimacy to it with the story that the FBI is investigating, but maybe that’s just for Vanessa’s case and the rest of this story is a trumped up excuse.

Is Kate Winslet hooking up with John Mayer?

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 05:38 AM PDT

wenn32338811

Kate Winslet isn't really my favorite person in the world, but I've been able to maintain some goodwill for her. I think she's a talented actress, I think she's smart and interesting, and I genuinely enjoy that her weight fluctuates through the years, like many (non-celebrity) women. What I don't enjoy so much? I don't like that she seems to be lying about the cosmetic work she's done to her face. And I didn't really care for her whirlwind post-divorce romance with that vague-looking male model. The whole thing seemed beneath her and like she was aiming at "revenge" on her ex, Sam Mendes, but a girl's gotta have her fun, I guess.

But I draw the line at his. This will make me hate Kate. Star Magazine reports that Winslet has had some "secret" hookups with… JOHN MAYER. He's a predator, you know, and he loves to get a girl right after she's had some kind of major breakup. Emotional vulnerability is his aphrodisiac.

Kate Winslet is trying her best to keep her steamy new hookup under wraps. But the newly single Oscar winner, 35, has been secretly spending time with notorious ladies' man John Mayer, 33, Star has learned!

"A few weeks ago, John was at a party in Manhattan when he ran into Kate. He really put the moves on her, and Kate eventually responded," says an insider. "She's just having fun - and she's begging him not to blab."

Now, do I believe this? Ugh. I want to think that Winslet would never. She would never go there, right? RIGHT? She's too smart for this, isn't she? Why it might be happening though: Winslet has been coming across as… kind of vulnerable and kind of desperate. Also: lately, the tabloids have putting Mayer with every semi-available woman, like Sandra Bullock and Miley Cyrus. I don't believe most of those alleged hookups… which doesn't mean I'm giving Mayer any credit. At all. I think he just prefers to screw groupies and not even try for the celebrity women at this point.

To her credit - Winslet’s rep denied (to Gossip Cop) that Kate and John were happening, and even denied that they had ever met. Publicists and representatives lie all the time, of course, but I’d like to believe Winslet’s rep this time. Because the thought of John Mayer getting Winslet to talk to his David Duke dong in the third person, or the thought of Mayer boning Winslet while his music plays… Jesus. My biscuits just closed up shop.
