Hot Guy Friday: State of Dong

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 09:33 AM PDT

James McAvoy. I couldn't remember if James had ever been our headliner before, but it doesn't really matter, because Hot Scottish Dong Is Forever (that should be on a t-shirt). He's been all over the place this week as he promoted The Conspirator, which comes out today (and which I've already promised my mom I'd take her to see). He's also got X-Men: First Class coming out soon, which will hopefully include some homoerotic interviews or photo shoots with Michael Fassbender (a girl can dream). You know I usually go for older men, but there's just something about James… he's boyish without it being creepy, he's intelligent without being pretentious, he's interesting without being all Franco about it. He's happily married, a new father, an extremely talented actor, and his beautiful eyes never fail to slay me. Oh, and the brogue helps. As does his lovely Scottish bulge.

Eric Dane (By CB) This guy seems super skeevy to me, but some of you are into that and I have to admit he’s easy on the eyes. I also realized that we’ve never featured him. Look at him work it in just a white t-shirt. I would do a double take if I saw this fine man walking down the street.

Alimi Ballard (By CB) - You may know this gorgeous 33 year-old from Numb3rs or from his work on NCIS as a new castmember. He’s got a smile that lights up the room. He just looks like a nice guy who isn’t a pushover. I love that type. He has a website where you can droll over even more photos of him.

Tom Hanks (By CB) Yes he’s older and he’s lost the hotness but the guy really used to be adorable in his day. Plus he’s funny and he doesn’t take himself at all seriously. I appreciate the man he is now and I love the man he stands for - the standup good guy who is always there for you. That pretty much describes how he’s served his fans during his phenomenal career too.

Common (By Bedhead) There ain’t nothing “common” about this rapper-turned-actor, and he sure is one finely chiseled hunk of man meat. In his movies, Common puts most other rapper-actors to shame by spring-loading an amazing breed of intensity to the forefront of his performances, and (naturally) I particularly liked him in Wanted. Seriously, even though I was completely down with what Angelina Jolie’s character did at the end of that movie, I did experience a momentary lapse of insanity when Common cocked his pistol and said, “F*ck the code.” I was all like, “Code? What code? I want to be the code.” Ultimately and whether he’s suited up, going casual, or simply shirtless on the beach, he’s always bringing the hotness to the table.

Alan Cumming (By Bedhead) By now, I’ve had a not-so-secret crush on this delightful fellow for over a decade, but who doesn’t like Alan Cumming? Well, perhaps people that don’t want any sunshine in their lives wouldn’t welcome him with open arms, and I feel dreadfully sorry for their inability to experience the joy of those dimples. He’s also so brash and sassy with his unconventional fashion choices, owns every one of his red-carpet looks, and can work a kilt like no other man I’ve ever witnessed. See? He’s just perfect, and I want a mini-Alan Cumming as my constant pocket companion to brighten up the dreariest of days.

Dermot Mulroney (By Bedhead) I’ve always felt that Mulroney is one of the most underrated actors out there, and he was once on the very cusp of superstardom but either didn’t kiss enough tail or just didn’t have that extra edge to get there. That’s okay, because I don’t mind keeping him right under the radar where I can easily ogle that saucy smirk or admire the silver fox that’s coming out to play in recent years. Mulroney doesn’t need no stinking superhero movies or some meaningless People magazine credential to tell us that he’s one of the sexiest men alive, and he can wear the hell out of a suit. How did Catherine Keener ever let this one go?

Gael Garcia Bernal (By Bedhead) Despite his (sometimes) distractingly huge cranium, this guy is just completely adorable with an imperfectly geeky smile to match. It’s too bad that his transition from Spanish-speaking films to Hollywood has pigenholed him into a quickly-developing romcom rut. Still, he was the most captivating part of Letters to Juliet (sorry, Amanda Seyfried), and he’ll likely be the only redeeming aspect of A Little Bit of Heaven (get bent, Kate Hudson) too. He deserves so much better than this cinematic fluff, so here’s to hoping that some better scripts soon land on his doorstep.

Gary Oldman (By Bedhead) This guy is so incredibly talented (how has he not been nominated for an Academy Award as of yet?) and virtually unrecognizable in most of his film roles, but the real attraction here is that Oldman seems like a really laid back bloke. In fact, he would be probably be the ideal drinking f*ck buddy, who would seduce you with his silver tongue and get you just tipsy enough to go crazy with uninhibited desire; that is, if he weren’t a recovering alcoholic himself. Ah well, a girl can dream, can’t she? Just substitute some tea and biscuits and things could still work out the same way, if you know what I mean. And I think you do.

Mark Strong. I've only realized how much I like Mark Strong over the past year or so, when it seemed like he was suddenly in everything. He was the villain in Kick-Ass, he was the clever handler in RockNRolla, he does accents, he's charmingly bald, and he's really, really sexy. Kudos to him for shaving his head too - it's really sexy!

Michael Shannon. I wasn't going to include him, but as I've been seeing more and more press about his General Zod casting, he's been infecting my day-to-day sexual fantasies. Like, in one fantasy, he comes up to me at the bar, and he starts creeping me out because he's so intense, and his eyes are so crazy and he stands too close. And then we start talking, and I end up going home with him and the sex is… intense and crazy. He looks like a biter, right? He also looks like a stabber, of course. I'm not saying that he is or is not a serial killer, I'm just saying that I'm allowed to fantasize. It's healthy! Oh, just by the way - he's a character actor who has been in EVERYTHING, but the last thing I saw him in was The Runaways, where he played producer Kim Fowley. And he was so creepy!

Patrick Wilson. Patrick isn't really my taste, although he is growing on me. You know I generally don't go for the clean-cut, boyishly handsome, slightly gaydar-pinging ones. Those are CB's! Just kidding (not really). I've seen and liked Patrick in several movies: Little Children, Watchmen and Morning Glory (did I mention how much I liked Morning Glory?). He's reasonably talented and super-pretty, and his body is pretty awesome. Enjoy!

James Purefoy. I don't believe I've ever seen James in anything, so I don't know if he comes across as smug and pretentious in motion, or if it's only in still photos. I generally like a man who is a bit haughty, but James's face isn't making me hot. He looks like he's judging me. Still, I can totally see why some of you find him attractive.

Jude Law (By CB) We haven’t had Jude on HGF in a few months, and he’s been missed. He’s funny, he likes to party, he loves groupies (although he’s probably been scared off by that waitress’ pregnancy) and there’s something so regal yet dirty about him. Plus he’s single again now, having rid himself of that Sienna creature for the umpteenth time. Jude is our dessert today and he’s white chocolate and raspberry panna cotta: classy, pretty and melt in your mouth smooth. Oh Jude, you’re so dashing and so very naughty.

Angelina Jolie wears super-expensive gold sunglasses, thus she is evil

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 08:44 AM PDT

fp_7006831_joliepittfamily_walk_fp7_47_103

Remember these weeks-old photos of Angelina Jolie, Brad and the kids? Yeah, the tabloids are still dining out on them. According to In Touch Weekly, while Angelina was walking in New Orleans with her family, she was wearing an item that makes every single good thing she does null and void. What was this mysterious item? A vial full of the blood of unicorns? A t-shirt that referenced a "puddle of HIV" perhaps? No! She was wearing expensive sunglasses, likely something that was sent to her free of charge:

For someone so outspoken about her nonchalance for fancy material items, Angelina Jolie's sunglasses certainly beg to differ. Her Limited Edition Gold Collection Dolce & Gabbana frames are plated in 18-karat gold and cost $580! (Um, that could probably feed the refugees she just visited in Tunisia!).

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

Bitchy. Hilariously bitchy. I would like to know the price of everything else she's wearing, because I suspect it's all pretty budget. It looks budget. That skirt looks like a TJ Maxx reject and the sweater looks Goodwill. But I digress! How dare Angelina wear gold sunglasses?!? She should be wearing a sack cloth in a refugee camp and healing people with magic gerbils.

Meanwhile, Brad and Angelina went to see God of Carnage last night in LA - they both looked like hell, and you can see the photos here. I love her coat, but even a Brangeloonie like me is wondering what the hell is going on with her, because she looks so rough.

Gwyneth Paltrow: People hate me because of my amazing work ethic

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 08:11 AM PDT

fp_7160964_paltrow_gwyneth_nyc_10_12

This photo, above, is maybe one of my favorite photos of Gwyneth Paltrow ever. I want to know what that expression is. My interpretation: "OH NOES! PEASANTS!!!" CB and I talked about doing a caption contest for it. You guys can help yourselves if you'd like!

Anyway, these are some new photos of Madame Goop yesterday, at a "book signing, for peasants" in which Goop looked kind of rough and she deigned to meet some designated members of Her Public. I know we've been doing a lot of Gwyneth stories lately, but in our defense, The Insufferable One has been all over the place lately to promote her book, and nearly every elitist, verbal morsel that deigns to fall out of Our Queen's lips is too delicious to pass up. Over the past few days we've covered her Self cover, and her interview in USA Today. We all had a good time laughing at her (because we are peasants and do not fully understand her), but now something has changed.

What has changed, you may ask. I shall tell you, my peasant friends. Remember how earlier this week, the news came out that Gwyneth was going to be appearing on Glee yet again? Only this time, she was going to be covering… Adele. Here's the song, as song by Adele:

Beautiful, right? Gorgeous voice, soulful, sad, chill-inducing with raw emotion, beauty and authenticity. Take a moment and enjoy it, because Adele is just that amazing. And because in about 30 seconds, you're going to have a rage stroke. Here's Gwyneth covering the Adele song:

Nasal, contemptuous, horrible. Gwyneth sang a gorgeous song like she was doing Katy Friggin' Perry. I want to slap the hell out of Gwyneth and scream "Your voice is not as strong as you think it is! STFU!!!"

Oh, but that's SO not all. Gwyneth also gave a nauseatingly smug interview to PopEater yesterday. You can read the whole thing here, but here are some of my favorite (insufferable) parts:

On the rumors she's boning Matthew Morrison & starting a food magazine: "Matthew’s become a really good friend of mine. It’s funny the press like to write things. They say I’m starting a food magazine, but it’s like the truth is I don’t have time to get a blow dry, how am I going to start a food magazine? It’s like I was out, I was out at a dinner with six people. They have to fill up all these pages. You know what? You’ll see me out for dinner with Matt Morrison again, he’s a great friend. I adore him. You have to just live your life."

On why she thinks some people hate her: "My theory is twofold. I think there’s a part of me that because I think I do a lot, I think my work ethic is the reason why I’m successful. I think that a lot of people don’t want to put in effort and it’s easier to not change, not do something good for you, not work on your relationship, not make yourself a meal, not work out. [They're just] pissed off at someone else doing that. Everything in my life that’s good is because I worked my ass off to get it and to maintain it. I also think, for example, like Mario Batali used to make fun of me all the time if I had soy milk in my coffee or if I was doing a cleanse or something. He used to grill me like, “Oh what are we eating? Squeezed out asparagus and seaweed?” And now he’s the one doing a cleanse and having almond milk. I think people mistake me trying to be the best version of myself for me telling them you’re not, or they just think well, what does that make me then, you annoying f**king person on the soapbox. But I can’t please everybody, all I can do is focus on the people who seem to appreciate what I do and put into the world. I’ll just do what I’m doing because, especially now, we live in a world now where everybody is able to express their opinion."

More about her haters: "It’s a projection. Sometimes if I hear of something really unkind or somebody’s really misunderstood me or something like that for a second I’ll be like, “Oooh wow that hurt,” but almost immediately I’ll be like, “poor guy.” What state are they in that they’re seeing that or projecting that."

PopEater calls her perfect: "It’s funny because I’m so not. Of course, some of it is luck. My parents had money and they sent me to a good school, but it’s like, what do you choose to do with that? You can rely on that and not do anything with it or you can say, “How am I going to justify that good fortune? How am I going to say my parents didn’t waste their money on me?” I just think I’m really all about hard work and I honestly feel like anyone can have or do what they want as long as they put their mind to it."

[From PopEater]

So, in case you needed a reminder, every time you have a giggle about what a smug, insufferable cold fish Gwyneth is, she feels sorry for you and your small, imperfect peasant life. Speaking of making fun of her, she's getting really good at dodging and talking around questions about her marriage, right? I also love how one second she's talking about HARD she works and how grueling it all is and how peasants don't understand how she suffers, and the next minute she's reminding us of the privileged life she's lived and how she's never really struggled for anything. Stick to a talking point for us dumb peasants, Goop.

Jennifer Aniston hates her new hair, makes her look ‘like a dowdy soccer mom’

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 08:10 AM PDT

anistonhair
This story is in the National Enquirer, which continues to mystify us by getting a lot of valid scoops that they paint with the same sensational brush as all their other stories. So it’s hard to tell what’s true in my favorite rag, but the fact that this news is coming out a few weeks after Aniston changed her hair makes it sound believable to me.

So as you know, Aniston chopped off her hair about seven weeks ago. She got a blunt bob that hit right around the collarbone, after wearing her trademark hair about six inches longer for years. There were undoubtedly some extensions in there too. Aniston’s hairdresser said that he was trying to help his client escape from “Real Housewife” hair and that the cut was inspired by Julie Christie in Shampoo and Kim Basinger in 9 1/2 weeks. Only if this latest article is to be believed, Aniston really loved her Real Housewife hair and hates the new ‘do. She thinks it makes her look older and “like a dowdy soccer mom.”

Instead of being pleased with her new chin-length bob, she’s been telling pals she feels like a “dowdy-looking soccer mom”!

“Jen feels the new cut is a mistake,” an insider divulged. “She was promised by her stylist that the new haircut would make her look younger, but she thinks it has the opposite effect.”

While those close to the 42-year-old actress keep telling her how cute the new cut is, “she doesn’t believe them,” continued another source. “As far as she’s concerned, it looks terrible.”

Jen’s displeasure with the new hairstyle has brought back a flood of insecurities from her past.

Explained the source: “She’s always had issues with her nose.

“She thought she’d come to terms with its shape, but without her long hair she thinks it looks too big for her face again. She also thinks the haircut makes her face look rounder and she hates that. Her hair was really a major security blanket.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, April 25, 2011]

I don’t often sympathize with Aniston as she doesn’t need our sympathy, (and let’s face it, a lot of the sympathy she gets is judgy) but I recently got a haircut that was much shorter than I was hoping for and it kind of sucked my mojo for a while. It’s a bitch to get a bad haircut and Aniston identifies with her hair and must take this sort of thing very seriously. Plus she’s a creature of extreme habit and it must have been hard for her to adjust to a shorter hairstyle. Remember when she said she hated her Rachel haircut from friends? You get used to seeing yourself with a certain hairstyle and with your hair at a certain length, and Aniston likes longer hair. I think her new haircut is cute, but I also think the longer hair suited her more. She needed to change up her look though.

If Aniston really said this though she’s disrespecting a large component of her fan base, and I’ll just leave it at that.

Also, I’ve been looking at photos of Aniston’s hair, and it looks like her hairdresser took her through a “transitional period” where he cut off about an inch and a half (or took out her extensions) before going full bob. Like here’s how she looked in November and right before and after her major haircut.

John Galliano got fired from John Galliano (meta)

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 07:55 AM PDT

fp_5335878_ang_dior_fashionpeople_40_56

Well, I actually thought this happened a while back, but I was wrong. Does everyone remember the John Galliano controversy? He was first arrested and briefly detained in Paris after he had been accused of making anti-Semitic remarks while hammered one night. The issue - in France - is that there are laws about hate speech, as well as public intoxication. The issue might have blown over if not for the video that was released a few days later of Galliano - on a separate occasion - making more drunken, anti-Semitic remarks, and claiming to "love Hitler". Everybody got upset and LVMH, the parent company of Christian Dior, put Galliano on indefinite suspension. Then Galliano checked himself into rehab, and released a bitchy statement about how no one knows the real story about him loving Hitler or something.

Anyway, Galliano was fired from Christian Dior last month after being suspended, and now he's been officially fired from his "John Galliano" line, which is also primarily owned by LVMH

John Galliano has reportedly been fired by his namesake label, according to Women’s Wear Daily. He was dismissed from his duties at Christian Dior last month after his arrest for assault and making anti-Semitic remarks, but until now, it was unclear what would happen with the designer’s eponymous line, 91 percent of which is owned by Dior. The decision was supposedly made at a recent meeting.

WWD writes that selling the Galliano house “is not an immediate priority,” although there have been offers, adding:

"It is understood the in-house design team at John Galliano, which shares members with Dior’s, will be charged with producing collections at a house prized for bias-cut dresses, newspaper prints and retro-tinged tailoring. A pre-spring collection is already said to be in the works."

The label held its ready-to-wear show in March without the designer present. There were only 19 looks and a model, perhaps unwittingly, made a statement with a Jewish star tattoo.

Last weekend, Galliano was spotted at Los Angeles International (LAX) Airport where he was shouted at by a passerby. He is rumored to have completed a one-month stay at rehab in Arizona and is expected to receive a court date in France come May 12.

[From HuffPo/WWD]

It kind of sucks that he doesn't even get to own his own named label, but thems the breaks. Anyway, I can't wait for his court date! First Linnocent will be going down (hopefully), and then Galliano. It should be good!

Does this strike anyone else as very similar to the Charlie Sheen situation? Couldn't Galliano now claim that since he's been through rehab, it's wrong for him to be fired? He's made the effort to change, I suppose. I don't know, it kind of reminded me of the Charlie Sheen thing. Maybe Galliano will go on a Torpedo of Truth tour too.

Michael Fassbender talks about “really getting off on mutant sex”

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 07:32 AM PDT

wenn3233230

Thankfully, the studio behind X-Men: First Class has realized that January “Deep-Thinking Diamond” Jones alone will not sell their movie, so they’re giving a little something to the ladies by sending out Michael Fassbender to do some publicity rounds. The gracious and lovely Fassdong (yes Kaiser, he still belongs to you, but I’m allowed a few conjugal visits on occasion) has responded in kind by speaking upon all sorts of topics concerning to not only his own character, Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto, but also things that are particularly relative to Professor Charles Xavier/Dr. X (James McAvoy) and Dr. Shaw (Kevin Bacon). Fassdong also takes great care to praise the previous work of Ian McKellen as Magneto while asserting his own decision “to paint a new canvas” with his role, which immediately makes me think of Fassbender rolling around in body paint just like Farrah Fawcett did for Playboy. As you can see, Fassbender posts are a quickly becoming danger to me, so let’s just add an obligatory SPOILER ALERT here and swiftly move onto a titillating overview of the movie’s hot mutant sex as revealed to IGN:

IGN: James McAvoy was talking about Charles and Erik being like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X in their approach to the problem of humans and mutants living side-by-side - would you agree with that?

Fassbender: If that’s what he said, then yeah, I like it. That sounds good. It’s actually a good way to summarise it. But also, I think that Charles is just horny, and just trying to get laid. Throughout the film. He’s like ‘human beings are cool, give them a chance’ because he just wants to have human being sex. He doesn’t want to have mutant sex. Whereas Eric really gets off on mutant sex.

IGN: So is there any romance for Erik in this film?

Fassbender: You know, there are seeds of something there, but once again, he is so driven. He’s blinkered. It’s like, there is Shaw in his sights, and that is all he is really going for.

You know, the Fassdong should never be allowed to speak any derivative of “seed” lest he spontaneously father an entire generation of mutant babies. Wait, where were we again?

IGN: Was there a scene when you got the script that you were particularly excited to shoot?

Fassbender: For sure, but I don’t want to give too much of the story away. There were two scenes. One’s fairly early in the film, when you are introduced to him and he’s on this sort of hunt. He’s on a trail blaze of Nazi killing. He’s trying to tighten the screws to pinpoint where Shaw is.

IGN: Why is he after Shaw?

Fassbender: Shaw had him in these concentration camps and as we know, the Nazis were doing lots of experimentation - all sorts of things, like measuring skull and brain size and running experiments on human beings. So Shaw is trying to unleash this power in him - he’s recognized that he can manipulate metal and so we catch up with Erik on a quest to hunt him down.

IGN: So what should we expect from Kevin Bacon as Shaw?

Fassbender: You’ve got an actor who finds the truth in everything he does and has just a wealth of experience. I don’t know how many - 70-something films that he’s done, you know? It’s great to see that sort of person has survived in the business for so long and is really nice and easy to talk to and just wants to get the job done. Trying to find the truth in the scenes. Because that’s the thing - it is a fantastical world but you want the illusion, the bubble, to remain intact as much as it can. I don’t know if I’m explaining myself very well, but everything in the story is there for a reason. A component is not just there as filler - each thing is there to drive the next thing and interlink to maybe three scenes later. It’s just trying to find those things within a scene… we work through each scene and figure out if there are any weak points or things that we really like and need to accentuate. And with the relationship between Charles and Erik - how do you get the best juices out of that relationship?

[From IGN]

See, there he goes again with “juices.” Quite simply, the Fassdong doesn’t know his own strength, but he does drop the little detail that there might be second and third First Class movies if the first one succeeds with the geek crowd. If that happens, the Fassdong plans on returning (and, quite suggestively, intends on coming in at “ground level”) just to give us another reason beyond James McAvoy to watch this drivel. I’ll be totally honest here in that I never read the X-Men comics and (like a great many others) really disliked the preexisting installments of this franchise. Although, I definitely appreciate that the Fassdong has continued the Nazi-hunting legacy that he previously forged in Inglourious Basterds, and I’ll watch anything that he does. I would even watch him watching paint dry on a wall. So good job, Marvel Studios, for I’m sold!

Katie Holmes’ skinny jeans & doily blouse: cute or tragic?

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 07:01 AM PDT

fp_7161217_holmes_katie_mac_10_31

As we know by now, Katie Holmes has the amazing ability to make even expensive designer clothes look budget and cheap. So I would imagine that this outfit - skinny jeans, booties, high-necked lace top - probably costs something in the vicinity of $1000, not including the purse. Even if I'm way off base on the price, how much does the outfit really look like it costs? It looks totally Walmart-Salvation Army to me. The lace blouse in particular… ugh. I'm not any kind of fan of white lace as daywear (or nightwear) for adult women. White lace as underwear? Fine. White lace for brides? Sure. White lace blouse for running errands? Not so much. She looks like she cut a neck hole in an enormous doily.

And the skinny jeans… ugh. No more skinny jeans! Katie was on to something when she was doing the high-waisted, '70s-inspired bellbottom jeans. Those looked totally cute on her.

If you think I'm being too nitpicky because these are candid photos rather than red carpet photos, you have a point. I get that Katie was just out running errands in LA yesterday, and that this might have been an easy outfit that she just threw on. But remember - Katie is a "fashion designer" now - and this is what she picks out for herself. What would she pick out for you?

Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband trying for baby via surrogate, wants to make her a mom at 94

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 06:48 AM PDT

wenn3194511
Zsa Zsa Gabor is 94 years old and in failing health. We’ve heard dire reports about her for months and I don’t want to sound heartless about it but I honestly didn’t expect her to live this long. Not a lot of people make it to their mid 90s and she just needed to have a leg amputated above the knee in January.

Zsa Zsa has collected plenty of husbands in her time (I just checked and she’s on her ninth! I would have guessed five or six tops) but she only has one child, Francesca Hilton, 64, from her marriage to Conrad Hilton from 1942 - 1946. Zsa Zsa’s current husband, the hilariously named Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, 67, wants to make Zsa Zsa a mom again and says he wants to carry on the Gabor name. He just announced plans to have a baby via a surrogate. It wouldn’t be Zsa Zsa’s biological child of course, but he wants her to sort-of be the mother if this scheme is successful.

Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband wants his 94-year-old wife to become a mother again using an egg donor, artificial insemination and a surrogate mother, Prince Frederic von Anhalt told CNN Thursday.

“I’ve gone through the initial steps of donor matching and blood work and next week the donation process will begin,” von Anhalt said.

Gabor’s only child, Francesca Hilton, described herself as shocked when told of the plan Thursday.

“That’s just weird,” Hilton said.

Von Anhalt, 67, said he is working with Dr. Mark Surry of the Southern California Reproductive Center in Beverly Hills. CNN calls to the center have not been returned.

Gabor has suffered major health problems in the last year, including hip replacement surgery and a leg amputation. She has been unable to walk since a 2002 car accident.

“I’m a retired guy,” von Anhalt said. “I can take care of it.”

Gabor talked about adding a new baby to the family when they got married 25 years ago, and she brought the topic up again in recent months, he said.

One reason is their desire to have someone carry on the famous Gabor name. None of her two sisters left an heir and her only child does not use the Gabor name, von Anhalt said.

Francesca Hilton, 64, is Gabor’s only child, the product of her second marriage to hotel magnate Conrad Hilton.

She told CNN that her full name is Constance Francesca Gabor Hilton.

The process, which includes finding an egg donor and a surrogate mother to give birth to the baby, will cost about $100,000, von Anhalt estimated.

The prince, who acquired his royal title when he was adopted as an adult by a German woman, is Gabor’s ninth husband.
He has complained in recent months about financial burdens caused by his wife’s hospitalizations. While he put their Bel Air, California mansion up for sale earlier this year, he said he is not actively marketing it.

“In life you need something to live for,” he said. “If my wife passes away before me, I have nothing to live for.”

I don’t know what this guy is playing at but this is ridiculous. “I need something to live for” - so you get a baby at 67? This is the guy who “adopted” about four grown men in recent years in exchange for millions of dollars for the right to use the Prinz von Anhalt name, which was bestowed on Frédéric when he himself was adopted as an adult at 37 by German nobility. (Or former nobility, it hasn’t counted for much there in some time.) So why does he want a baby now? Does he want to ensure that whatever is left of Zsa Zsa’s fortune goes to that child rather than her daughter that is right around his age? Does he really want some kind of purpose and future companion in life? Either way, it’s really sketchy. He’s been married to Zsa Zsa for 24 years though and that counts for something.

Are Jude Law & Sadie Frost reconciling, or are they just exes with benefits?

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 06:25 AM PDT

Jude Law and his ex-wife Sadie Frost have a torrid history. First there was their actual relationship and marriage, which carried on for more than a decade and resulted in three kids, a divorce, huge alimony and child support payments for Jude, and likely multiple affairs (on both their parts). Still, Jude and Sadie managed to maintain some kind of friendship, even when he first got with Sienna Miller, circa 2003-04. The nanny that Jude boned - in 2005 - was actually a nanny that Sadie had hired, and while Sienna was dealing with Jude's infidelity, Sadie stuck by him. It's my belief that whenever Jude gets out of a big relationship, he always runs back to Sadie, and I think that they might be each other's stand-by sexual partner (I'm trying not to be crude).

Anyway, this past reconciliation with Sienna nearly killed Sadie and Jude's relationship. Through the course of Jude and Sienna's second/third go-around, Sadie made it clear that Sienna was not welcome around her children, and I think Sadie might have been pushing Jude to dump Sienna for good. However, Jude and Sadie were also fighting about her tell-all memoir about their relationship, as Jude was trying to block its publication for a while (in the end, though, it was published and the controversy was minor).

Anyway, there's a new report that Sadie and Jude are once again reconciling. After Jude split with Sienna this last time, he's been crying on Sadie's shoulder, it seems:

As Jude Law's former fiancée Sienna Miller heats up with fellow Brit Tom Sturridge in the wake of their recent split, Jude is rekindling his romance with ex-wife Sadie Frost. The pair, who have three children together, parted ways in 2003 amid rumors of his relationship with Sienna - but they never really let go of each other.

"Jude and Sadie stayed close as parents and even continued to vacation as a family. After he broke up with Sienna, he turned to her," says an insider. "he's tired of playing the field and wants the stability of marriage. And they've both begun to realize how much they still care for each other."

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Look, as I said, I think they have a complicated history, they have three kids together, and I think they still sleep with each other on occasion. I doubt they're really reconciling for good. I think Jude just goes to Sadie for a reality check, and because he still loves her in some sense. He'll be back to boning groupies in no time.

Demi Moore’s leather pants, chunky sweater & ‘Tox-face: cute or rough?

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 05:57 AM PDT

These are new photos of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher "celebrating" their "Real Men Don't Buy Girls" campaign, the one with the weird, random commercials. For the event, Demi was freshly plucked, sucked, tucked and 'Toxed, looking put together in leather pants and a striped sweater, while Ashton looked like he just rolled out of bed and put on whatever he found on the floor because his mom was yelling at him. I wonder what it says about Ashton's devotion to this cause if he looks so rough while Demi likely spent hours and hours getting ready?

Whenever I haven't seen Demi for a while, I always take the time to really examine her face, trying to detect the tweaking. She gets stuff done gradually, so it's never some huge overhaul that will shock people, like "OMG, She has a completely new face!" She gets little stuff done over time, but still… bitch has a new face. And as time goes on, it feels like Ashton keeps looking younger and younger, right? That must kill her soul a little.

In other Demi & Ashton news, this popped up on Page Six today:

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher popped by a bridal shower at The Lion on Wednesday night for Prince Albert of Monaco’s fiancée, Charlene Wittstock. The Hollywood power couple arrived at the celebration after seeing Moore’s daughter, Rumer Willis, in “Love, Loss and What I Wore” on Broadway. A spy reports Moore couldn’t stop gushing about her daughter’s acting chops to guests including Yehuda Berg, the son of Kabbalah Centre founder Philip Berg and Karolina Kurkova.

[From Page Six]

Ugh. There were like four different eye-rolls in there. Seriously, Demi is tight with Prince Albert? Sure. And "Hollywood power couple"? Um, really? And Rumer is on Broadway. Eye-roll. And Demi couldn't stop gushing to Kabbalah people. Ugh!!!
