Morrissey blasts the royal wedding, calls royal family “benefit scroungers” Posted: 28 Apr 2011 08:56 AM PDT One of my favorite things about a big royal story - like the wedding - is that British celebrities are often called on to "explain" the royal family to America. I saw a recent interview with Helen Mirren where she was trying to explain her republican politics while still being respectful about the royal family. Robert Pattinson also was called upon to discuss the royal family, and he seemed to identify with Kate Middleton, of course. Then, there are people like Morrissey. Morrissey hates his homeland, and he hates America and he hates pretty much every country except Morrissey-Land. Note: we covered Morrissey's last controversy, where he referred to the Chinese people as a "subspecies" and then refused to apologize for it. So he gave an interview to BBC Radio 4, and he went off on the royal family:
[From HuffPo] In the scope of Morrissey's greatest racist, misanthropic hits, this interview sounds kind of subdued. I actually imagine there are quite a few British people who would agree with him. If you want to hear Morrissey's words for yourself, there's audio here, at the BBC. I found a partial clip of the interview on YouTube, but since I didn't want to listen to the whole damn thing, I don't know for sure if this includes his royal family comments. I do know that towards the 5:40 mark, he talks about David Cameron. At the 9 minute mark he starts bashing Britain as being too-American. |
Kate Middleton looks cool as a cucumber in her last (?) pre-wedding appearance Posted: 28 Apr 2011 08:10 AM PDT Man, does Waity know how to play it or what? Here it is, less than 24 hours before she's the centerpiece of one of the biggest media events ever, and she's still making sure people get photos of her. These are new pics of Kate outside of Clarence House (William and Charles' official residence) yesterday. The bride wore white. White jacket, soft pink cowl-neck sweater, skinny little legs in skinny jeans and flats. I like the outfit quite a bit. She looks very… put-together. She doesn't look nervous either. I think we're seeing a new side to her - goodbye geisha and hello royal superstar. Isn't it funny to think that in all of the buildup to the wedding over these past few months, there was so much emphasis on "easing" Kate into royal life and how it was going to take her YEARS to really enter the huge media spotlight? Because nowadays, I think Kate is calling more shots. I think she's more prepared for all of it than everybody expects. THIS is what she spent nine years preparing herself for. Nine long Waity years, and it's a whole new Kate. By the way, in addition to releasing the new Testino portrait and the wedding program, Kate and Will also released a statement to the press. Oh, and their vows are interesting too:
[From People] I wonder what William's vow will be? "I promise to not throw it in your face when I screw around"? But good on Waity for not "obeying" William. It's a small step, I suppose. Seriously, look how much Kate is enjoying all of this: Here's a photo of Harry escorting Kate somewhere (to make royal ginger babies?): |
Justin Timberlake on casual sex: “It’s a really good idea until it becomes a bad idea” Posted: 28 Apr 2011 07:57 AM PDT Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis are gearing up for the release of Friends with Benefits with the obligatory press rounds. Naturally, this tour will do nothing to quiet the rumors of potential romantic involvement between these two actors, especially since both of them are newly single after Timberlake finally ditched Biel and Kunis split with Macauley Culkin (who, sadly, will never do any better). Following his breakup, Timberlake has not been linked with a new love except the famewhoring Olivia Wilde, but we haven’t heard anything about that in awhile, and everyone seems to believe that he’s sweet on Mila despite the denials to the contrary. On a positive note, all of this speculation just might work wonders for this movie’s box office take, for there appears to be much more chemistry between these two than with, say, Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman, whose similarly-themed movie (No Strings Attached) did pretty well of its own volition. At any rate, Timberlake and Kunis stopped by “The Ellen Show” to discuss the movie and, generally speaking, the problematic issue of sleeping around with friends:
So do we still think there could be a possible romance brewing between Kunis and Timberlake? I’m of the opinion that the newly single Kunis is enjoying her independence after six years of dating Macauley Culkin, but I do think that Timberlake still wants to hit that. Repeatedly.

Jennifer Aniston’s “natural beauty” secret: Radiesse fillers, not Botox? Posted: 28 Apr 2011 07:37 AM PDT For a little while now, some people were wondering what Jennifer Aniston has been doing to her face. I noticed it off and on - when she was promoting some stuff last year, her face looked so tight that when she spoke, she looked like she was wincing in pain. But I've thought Aniston has been experimenting with fillers for a while - you can see it in Marley & Me, where all of sudden her cheeks looked super big and tight. Over the past year, though, lots of people have been asking, "Botox? Fillers? A subtle facelift?" Now OK! Magazine might have an answer. It sounds like their "insider" source is someone at Aniston's filler-injection doctor's office, though:
[From OK! Magazine, print edition] OK also claims that Aniston gets laser treatments and chemical peels, and that she drinks 12 glasses of water a day. Sure. "Water." As for this advertisement for Radiesse, I tend to think it's probably true. I think Aniston has Filler-Face, not Botox-Face. And while I think it's kind of funny that she still gets to be called a "natural beauty" who is "aging naturally," I applaud her for going in for more subtle work. It could be much, much worse. But this way, her supporters get to scream about how she's NATURAL and we're all haters while the rest of us are examining the photo evidence. In other Aniston news, her (alleged) stalking of Bradley Cooper has taken the cover of this week's InTouch Weekly. Now, Bradley Cooper's people already denied any romance with Aniston in last week's Us Weekly. But don't let that stop Team Aniston's press machine! According to In Touch (via Jezebel), Aniston has been "throwing herself” into the relationship with B-Coop, and she's been texting Bradley all the time, which is apparently her pattern, according to an insider: “she has a pattern of texting and emailing with guys for months, and by the time they see each other again, they’re serious.” According to the same source, though, Bradley is trouble because he is a “known fame-seeker who uses his charm and good looks to get close to A-List actresses, only to cut and run.” Um, really? Because he maintained a steady relationship with Renee Zellweger for nearly two years, he's some kind of famewhore who will only date certain people for attention? Oh, wait. The source was talking about Aniston, right? |
Katie Holmes issued front page apology by Star Magazine Posted: 28 Apr 2011 06:54 AM PDT
Well “Katie” aka the Sci Goons, sued Star Magazine for $50 million for libel as a result. That was back in early March. Since then, Star canned their editor and it doesn’t seem like a coincidence. Star has now issued a front page apology for insinuating that Katie was addicted to drugs and they’re giving an undisclosed donation to a charity of her choice. I was assuming Katie’s charity would be Scientology-related, but according to Reuters it’s the “Dizzy Feet Foundation,” which Katie co-founded and helps give dance classes to underprivileged youth.
[From TMZ] At least the money is going to decent charity. Maybe Star will clean up its act a little under Radar Online editor David Perel, who is taking over for former editor Candace Trunzo. I hope they stay trashy but get a little more truthful. Star Scan via CoverAwards. The cover in which they apologize (see title across the top) The cover that Star was sued over from January, 2011 Katie is shown out in Beverly Hills on 4/27/11. Credit: Fame |
Jessica Biel thinks Gerard Butler is “crazy” about her, which Gerard denies Posted: 28 Apr 2011 06:41 AM PDT Another week, another Jessica Biel-Gerard Butler story. Can I just say something? Jessica is really pissing me off. I wanted to have sympathy for her post-breakup with Justin Timberlake, but Biel is grating on my last nerve with all of these "rumors" and "insider dish" stories about how Gerard Butler is so hot for her. Her publicist already leaked to Us Weekly that Gerard was really trying to bone her, which he denied. Then she leaked some more stuff about how much he wanted her, and how she loves their friendship and didn't know if she should give it up, and then, last we heard, she managed to get a story into People Magazine about how she and Gerard bought "cupcakes" for the entire crew. At this point, she'll just do anything to have her name put together with Gerard's. And before you start yelling at me and saying that Gerard is a slut, I KNOW. I know he probably hit that. I also know that he's probably knee-deep in Shreveport biscuits. Gerard does not pine away. He is not looking for a relationship, and he certainly isn't hard up for Jessica's stalker ass. So… the latest story comes from Star Magazine (story via Jezebel). According to their source, Biel's publicist, Gerard is "crazy" about Biel and he has been "practically glued to her side.” Take it away, Gossip Cop!
[From Gossip Cop] I wonder is Gerard is scared of her. If I was a dude and I was on Biel's radar, I would be terrified of her. She's got that Fatal Attraction vibe (to me at least). I know dudes always say that Crazy is good in bed, but I don't even believe it in this case. I think when Biel is trying to land a boyfriend, she's crazy, but when she's got a man, she's just clingy and vanilla and boring. Since Biel is trying so hard to land somebody, let's help her out. Who should she try once she realizes that Gerard has no interest whatsoever in dating her? Strong possibilities: Jake Gyllenhaal, Zac Efron, Penn Badgely, Alex Pettyfer (God, could you imagine?), Bradley Cooper… oh, I've got a good one! David Arquette! He's wounded, she's desperate. They could really make a go of it. |
Angelina & Brad’s child care costs: $1 million per kid, per year? Posted: 28 Apr 2011 06:00 AM PDT This story comes on the heels of the non-story that the Jolie-Pitt children are being raised by an educating, bilingual nanny army. At the time, I thought "meh" because we all know that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have nannies, and having high hiring standards just seems like a smart choice. Now InTouch Weekly is dialing up the Scandal-Meter by getting into specific (alleged) numbers for the cost of the Jolie-Pitts' childcare. InTouch (via The Mail) thinks that Angelina and Brad are paying about $1 million per child, per year. Let's see the breakdown, shall we?
[From The Mail] Let's see… other costs: kids' clothing, per year is allegedly $100,000. $5 million spent on private jets in a year (why not?) and $600 a day on cars. Oh, and each kid gets a $7000 birthday party. And don't forget the high cost of gerbil maintenance. That could easily run you a cool million per year, adjusting for the requisite gerbils-of-doom cost of living adjustment. The gerbils know too much. But it's easier to pay them off and maintain them rather than kill them off. And no one is discussing the cost of Zahara's empress maintenance! |
Kate Middleton & Prince William’s latest Testino photo: gorgeous or fug? Posted: 28 Apr 2011 05:19 AM PDT Above is the latest Mario Testino photo of Kate Middleton and Prince William. This image will appear on the official royal wedding programs, which were just released to the public. Testino took their official engagement photos, and he has a long history with the William, Harry and with their late mother (Testino was the last portrait photographer to shoot Diana). What do you think of the image? I'm surprised with how wonderful Kate looks in black-and-white. It really suits her. As for William…well, the Photoshop is heavy on this one. Plus, they "somehow" managed to crop the photo around William's hairline. It's like a royal decree: the prince's hairline must not be shown in official royal portraiture! Also - it feels like Kate is leaning in, trying to get closer to the camera. Like she pushing William out of frame… or is it just me? Body language reading aside, I will give them props - this is a lovely image for the wedding program. If you'd like to see more of the program, you can go to The Mail - they've got hi-res copies of all of it. Here are a few pages, including another Testino portrait. |
Khloe Kardashian: “I’m tired of pretending that I’m happy with my weight” Posted: 28 Apr 2011 05:01 AM PDT Khloe Kardashian covers the new issue of Us Weekly, for no reason other than her weight. Apparently, there was some issue last week because on some episode of one of the Kardashian shows, Kris Jenner told Khloe that she was negatively affecting "the Kardashian brand" because Khloe was eating cookies and she's bigger than her sisters. It was pretty rough. Anyway, this was enough to score Khloe the cover. Ugh. I mean… I like Khloe, but I really wish all of the Kardashian women would stop trying to become spokeswomen for positive body image, because all of them fail at it, spectacularly. All of them lie about their sizes, all of them have body image issues, and their mother doesn't help matters, at all. Here's an excerpt from the cover story:
Jesus, now she is claiming to be a size zero? Is she saying she is NOW a size zero, or that she used to be a size zero? While Kim is claiming to be a size 4? ORANGE BITCHES PLEASE. As I've said before, I don't care what size you are. BUT DON'T LIE TO ME. Don't ask me to buy your BS. Just keep your mouth shut. By the way, Khloe ended up defending her mom about the cookie incident by saying that Kris was speaking to her as her manager, not as a mother. Ugh. Us Weekly cover courtesy of CoverAwards.

Robert Pattinson’s shiny brown suit: a bold choice or a bad call? Posted: 28 Apr 2011 04:35 AM PDT I don't critique men's fashion enough around here. That's going to change! With this one post. It makes sense to start small with Robert Pattinson, who is by all accounts much, much prettier than most women. Plus, Sparkles was recently voted the Best Dressed Man in Britain - a decision I did not hate. Sparkles also has all of the tools to be quite stunning on the red carpet too - he has that beautiful face, he's tall and slender with lovely shoulders. He should be able to wear the hell out a suit. So what's the problem? Nothing, really. I mean, in these photos from the Berlin premiere of Water for Elephants, I guess I could nit-pick him to death. He needs to stand up straight! He's got that tall-guy thing of slumping his shoulders, and he gives the impression that he's still not really comfortable in his own skin. Then there are his loveable, crazy-ass faces. He's very animated on the red carpet, but that's not a complaint. I love his crazy faces. Perhaps my problem is with wearing a slightly shiny BROWN suit on a red carpet? For the most part, I kind of applaud his decision. Most men don't like brown suits. Most celebrity men wouldn't choose brown for a red carpet. The descriptors aren't good: dirt, mud, sh-tty, drab. Sparkles is unique, and he's a fashion-risk taker, only not really. Look at the suit - he actually put some thought into it and it's tailored for his body. Plus, I just like that there are celebrity men who think it's nice and appropriate to wear a suit and tie for the red carpet. It's so quaint! So… while I'm not a huge fan of this suit on him in particular, I applaud the choice. By the way - I keep meaning to embed this video. It's Reese Witherspoon and Sparkles interviewing each other for Moviefone. I love when they were talking about costumes and Sparkles talks about his wide hips! I love him for admitting it, and I love how Reese tries so hard not to laugh at him. |
