Is Olivia Wilde famewhoring her relationship with Justin Timberlake? Posted: 05 Apr 2011 08:59 AM PDT Yesterday, Us Weekly and People Magazine both managed to get "exclusives" about Olivia Wilde and Justin Timberlake possibly-probably on a date over the weekend. My assumption, after reading the stories, was that Olivia and Justin were officially "rolling out" their new relationship to the media outlets of record. Lainey at LaineyGossip had a different take - she thought that Wilde was another Jessica Biel, using her association with JT to promote herself, and promoting the "relationship" like other actors would promote a film. This morning, People reports that Olivia is denying that there's anything between her and JT - apparently, she got on her Twitter and was talking about it:
[From People] So… what's the deal? She and JT were hanging out, reportedly all over each other, and then somehow the next day People and Us Weekly get the same story, and then Olivia waits 12 hours to officially deny it? Is Olivia That Girl? You know That Girl. The Kate Bosworth, the Rachel Bilson, the Olivia Munn, the Jessica Biel - those That Girls. The girl who leaks stories about herself only to publicly deny it, thus spreading a story out over two news cycles and ensuring that she is in fact publicly connected with whatever guy? Even though Olivia WAS a PRINCESS and she annoys the hell out of me, I never really thought she was one of those girls. But maybe she is. |
Tori Spelling’s red carpet bolt-ons: disgusting, hideous and/or tragic? Posted: 05 Apr 2011 08:28 AM PDT These are photos of Tori Spelling and her husband Dean McDermott at an event for Oxygen - the cable channel that airs Tori and Dean's reality show. If the above photo isn't disgusting enough, I'm about to put up some even more disturbing images. I don't want to get too gross, but as I was looking through these photos, I was genuinely disturbed and a violent wave of nausea rippled through my body. Okay, prepare yourself. I'm just labeling these photos NSFW just for their sheer gross-out factor. Behold, Tori's hideous bolt-ons: I'm sure there's a technical term for it, right? Like, "implant drift" or something. I don't watch those freak-out real-life medical shows, because they make me sick too. But I don't doubt there is a medical explanation for this hideousness. Here's a question, though: if you owned a mirror, and you saw that your tits looked this disgusting, would you wear a low-cut dress? No, right? Because you didn't want to make people nauseous, right? Why doesn't Tori get this fixed? Oh, and at this point, I am agreeing with CB - I think Tori is pregnant again. I think she's gaining some weight, and maybe she gained some weight in her boobs, and that's what is screwing up her implants? |
Ashley Judd on TV: I made a decision to be abstinent from all press about the book Posted: 05 Apr 2011 08:23 AM PDT
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Ashley Judd was on the Today Show this morning promoting her new memoir, All That is Bitter and Sweet. We covered some advance details yesterday, as told by The National Enquirer. According to the Enquirer, Ashley writes that she was groped by a stranger as a child, raped as a teen, and came up with “recovered memories” in therapy that she had been molested by a family member during childhood and had suppressed it. Now I get that she would be upset that the press is taking the most horrific parts of her past and sensationalizing them out of the context of her life story. Still, she came across as very haughty right off the bat. She redeemed herself a little toward the end though. Let me just first separate my opinion of Ashley as a person from the fact that she’s revealing the terrible things she went through. I respect that she’s sharing her experiences and trying to lift the stigma from sexual abuse. That must take a lot of courage. That doesn’t mean I find her in any way likable though. After seeing that interview, I’m inclined to believe all the diva stories I’ve heard about her. Here’s what she said to start, and it made my mouth hang open. Like, how arrogant can she be? She was on the Today Show promoting her book and claiming at the same time that she wasn’t doing press for it. She didn’t even add “except for this interview.” She also used a lot of big words that sounded like nonsense. She’s like the white female version of those prison dudes on In Living Color. She immediately launched into this diatribe which didn’t make much sense at first. I got it after a while but it was so pretentious.
Then like a minute and a half later Meredith Viera finally got a word in edgewise to ask Ashley about some of the revelations in her book. Meredith asked her why she included the difficult parts of her childhood. Ashley said that she had a good relationship with her parents now and that “the kinds of things that happened to me are very typical and standard and indicative of a family system that doesn’t work very well.” She said she recovered in 2006 through the help of therapy (her therapy was AA recovy based) but it was like she was lecturing Meredith. She was so haughty about it. She used a bunch of very pat AA explanations, like she was “sick and tired of being sick and tired” and she was “powerless over my childhood,” her life was “unmanageable.” Her issue was being in an alcoholic family, not being an alcoholic specifically, but whatever. I’m sorry she went through all this, but there’s no excuse for being so insufferable. Toward the end Ashley started crying when she talked about her charity work. It was like she thought she was just this amazing person who was changing so many lives. “I happen to really love the God of my understanding… I was taking a walk and having a talk with God going ‘This is absolutely amazing that I, who very much played the lost child in this family system, would have the opportunity to travel all over the world and sit with and hold and love and encourage people who are pretty lost. And our global family system is absolutely remarkable. While the conditions in which I was raised were very different, I identify…. That’s what matters.” Good for Ashley for doing charity work. It just seemed like she was patting herself on the back the whole time. At the end she answered a question about being molested as a child, and her answer was surprisingly to-the-point and very well put. I like what she said here but it doesn’t erase all the crap she spouted up until this point. “It’s not that I repressed, it’s that I didn’t know… I was groomed. They put their shame on me. I’ve given those SOBs back their shame.” If that’s the takeaway from this interview and her book then she’s doing a very good thing. It’s been a long time, if ever, since I’ve seen an interview with someone so pretentious though. You can read an excerpt from Ashley’s book on MSNBC.com. I’ll be honest - I just skimmed it. I’ve had about all I can take today of this woman. |
Khloe Kardashian in a plunging Gucci suit: classy or tacky? Posted: 05 Apr 2011 07:58 AM PDT As you know, Khloe is my favorite Kardashian, and I have desperately wanted her to try another style. I tend to think Khloe wears the same kind of clothes as her sisters - and Khloe thinks she can pull off the same stuff, when she really can't. Her sisters are short, and Kourtney in particular is very petite. Khloe is a tall, zaftig girl who could look really stunning if she would only dress for her body type (and change her hair…?). Anyway, these are photos of Khloe, Lamar Odom and the some of the Kardashian gang last night at the launch of Khloe and Lamar's perfume/cologne, Unbreakable. Khloe is wearing a Spring 2011 Gucci suit… um… ugh. I mean, I get it. I know what look she was trying to achieve here - something sleek and professional-yet-sexy. The execution is just off, though. Oh, and the plunging neckline was so hardcore, apparently everybody got a glimpse of her pasties too. Ridic. Still, Khloe wasn't as bad as Kim. Kim wore an Alexander McQueen top that… she just can't pull off. Kim is just one of those women, much like Katie Holmes, who makes expensive clothes look cheap. This McQueen top probably costs thousands of dollars - but on Kim, it looks like a drag queen's budget home-ec project. |
Gwyneth Paltrow: “I’ve got this ice-blonde reputation & that’s just not me!” Posted: 05 Apr 2011 07:35 AM PDT Dame Gwyneth Paltrow has deigned to speak to the peasants once again, this time shilling her cookbook in an interview with Ladies' Home Journal. I wonder what Gwyneth really thinks about LHJ's readers? That they are nice people, obviously, but that they are truly not as special or ladylike or talented as The Goop? Probably. Anyway, my favorite part of this short interview is Gwyneth talking about "the biggest misconception" about her. Goop deigns to say that the biggest misconception is that she's "uptight" and then cries, "There’s nothing uptight about me! I’ve got this ice-blonde reputation and that’s just not me. I do silly things in public all the time, like hosting Saturday Night Live, or I’ll go out with friends and have a good time. I try to live my life to the fullest even if it means making a fool of myself." Wow, she really wants to sell this cookbook, doesn't she?
[From Ladies Home Journal] Ugh. There's something sad about the way Gwyneth has been hustling lately. I mean, I would understand it if Gwyneth was just trying to get her acting career back on track - that would be one thing, and her attempt would be long overdue. But it seems like Gwyneth is playing an entirely different game. She acts like everybody always thinks so highly of her acting skills, and we were just begging her to reveal more of her interests so we could perhaps share them with her. She wants to be accepted as an actress (although she thinks she's still an A-list actress, when she's really not), she wants to be accepted as a world-class cook, a singer, a lifestyle expert, all of it. That's what I don't understand: who died and made Gwyneth the new Martha Stewart? And why does she think any of us are interested in her Beyonce/Martha-fication? Does Gwyneth not realize that the overwhelming majority of us don't care, and that there's a growing number of us who actively think she's a massive joke? And that just makes me sad again. Because in Goop's mind, she's the best. She's nailing all of this, and the peasants are eating it all up. Goop's view of herself is extremely skewed from reality. |
Christina Aguilera: I can laugh about my hiccups in life Posted: 05 Apr 2011 07:26 AM PDT
[From Parade] Well I hope she’s passable on The Voice. The show really does look interesting and those ads must be working because I’ll probably watch the first episode at least. With the way she’s talking about her “setbacks” and blaming everything on the divorce and attention she’s getting I doubt she’ll be sober the whole time, though. I’m also more inclined to believe those stories that she’s rejected attempts by her people to get her into rehab. In Christina’s world, it’s all very normal and understandable to get wasted every night and start pissing away your career because you’re getting divorced. Kaiser pointed me to this blind item in the NY Post as potentially about XTina: “WHICH singer’s team is desperately trying to cover up the fact that a recent nose job has totally altered the voice?” I checked and I don’t see any difference in Aguilera’s nose, but the fact that they wrote the voice instead of her or his voice, suggests it could be her. Adam Levine has a messed up little nose but I looked at older pictures of him and it looks the same. |
Angelina Jolie visits thousands of Libyan refugees on the Tunisian border Posted: 05 Apr 2011 07:03 AM PDT As we talked about yesterday, Angelina Jolie flew out of LAX on Sunday, reportedly to go to the Middle East on some UNHCR business. Now we know where - Tunisia. Thousands of Libyan refugees have flooded through the Libya-Tunisia border, and are now living in makeshift refugee camps. She also used the trip to focus on some gaps in the international financing to support the refugees - and she announced that the Jolie-Pitt Foundation would be picking up some of the slack, donating Foundation money to help give 177 refugees the right of return, as well as financing a new ambulance for the camps. These photos (courtesy of some Tunisian media outlets) are of Jolie meeting with some refugees, and arriving at the airport. Here's the UNHCR's press release:
[From UNHCR] It sounds like Libya is becoming Europe's Cuba, right? Refugees making sea journeys on makeshift rafts and boats, trying to get someplace where their lives aren't in mortal danger. It's all so… sad. Ugh. Just what the Middle East needs, right? Another overwhelming refugee crisis. Go here for the UNHCR Donation Page. Oh, and I still think she looks pregnant. Photos courtesy of the UNHCR, Tunisian blogs & media outlets. |
Katie Holmes plans Suri’s fifth b-day party: tea party, piñata & girlfriends Posted: 05 Apr 2011 06:30 AM PDT Katie Holmes is in the midst of promoting the miniseries, The Kennedys, where she plays Jackie Kennedy. Yesterday, she did an interview with Ryan Seacrest on the radio, and she appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live. When Katie talked to Ryan, she talked about little Suri's upcoming fifth birthday party:
[From OK! Magazine] So, Katie's plans don't involve Penis Gummis and C-ckblockers. Good to know. Also - it's kind of sad that Suri is forced to celebrate her birthday so late, just because her parents don't want to admit that Katie actually give birth earlier than her official "birthday" right? Remember that? If you want to watch Katie's interview with Jimmy Kimmel, go here. She seemed… sober. But she's still really, really boring. |
Glee creator Ryan Murphy apologizes to Kings of Leon for telling them to F off Posted: 05 Apr 2011 06:29 AM PDT
[From OK! Magazine] This was the right thing to do, particularly since Grohl really had Murphy’s number and listed out the many ways that he’s been juvenile and petty with artists up until this point. It doesn’t mean I’m going to go back to watching Glee again, though. That ship has passed. Photo credit: PRPhotos |
Crusty lovers John Mellencamp & Meg Ryan are still going strong Posted: 05 Apr 2011 05:57 AM PDT And they said it wouldn't last! And by "they" I mean "me". These are new photos of Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp in LA yesterday - the first new photos we've had of them in a little while. Did they realize that they were coming across as kind of gross with their daily photo-ops when John first dumped his wife? Perhaps. Anyway, Meg Ryan really has won the Jumpoff Prize, hasn't she? John Mellencamp dumps his wife and takes up with Meg, and they're still going strong after… what? Like, six months? That's pretty good, though. Hey, at least his jumpoff isn't some 20-something "trainer" or something, right? He likes his women like… this. Forty-nine years old and wearing a belly shirt. Ugh. According to onlookers, "As they strolled on Melrose Ave., Meg and John could barely keep their hands off of each other despite the paparazzi presence." The were also recently spotted in NYC a few days ago. According to a NY Post report, they were "kissing and canoodling" as they ate at Breslin Bar & Dining Room. It seems that Meg "couldn't be happier. Not only has she got a great new guy, she's back in the headlines. It's not easy going from being one of the highest paid actresses in the world to an anonymous New Yorker. Meg's loving all this attention again. Meg would much rather be back on the cover of the magazines announcing a hit new movie, but unfortunately that isn't the case. Now folks are much more interested in your private life than if you have a hit movie. Look at Kate Gosselin or Kim Kardashian. They are always on magazine covers talking about their love life." Is that who Meg thinks she's "competing" with? Kim Kardashian and Kate Gosselin? Oh, Meg. |
