| Paul Thomas Anderson’s CO$ film set with Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman Posted: 10 May 2011 09:38 AM PDT
Last month, we discussed Joaquin Phoenix’s return to acting with his prospective involvement in director/writer Paul Thomas Anderson’s (and somehow, until looking at the above photo, I never noticed how good looking he is) untitled religious drama that looked to present a disciple’s horrific experiences with a faith-based movement that very closely resembled Scientology. At that point, Philip Seymour Hoffman was tapped to play “The Master” while Phoenix was circling the role of the disciple who begins to question the cult-like ways of his faith. Now, Deadline has confirmed that both Phoenix and Hoffman are “locked” into their roles, and the Weinsteins have acquired Anderson’s project. Here are even more details:
[From Deadline] Considering what an amazing job that Anderson did with helming There Will Be Blood (that movie also took an interesting and very cynical view of religion and resulted in a Best Actor Academy Award for Daniel Day Lewis), this could do wonders for getting Joaquin Phoenix’s career back out of the gutter. As for the Scientology aspects of the faith-based movement at the center of the film, a few notes on Anderson’s ongoing script development indicate that the year 1952 shall be of the utmost importance, which, interestingly enough, was the year that Dianetics really took off and L. Ron Hubbard founded the Hubbard College to train auditors. While the movie obviously won’t mention Scientology by name, I think it’s pretty clear that Anderson was motivated to write this script to expose what happens behind the scenes when a movement transforms into a religion. And the resulting fallout should be rather delicious.

| Seriously, did Michael Fassbender impregnate January Jones? Posted: 10 May 2011 08:52 AM PDT
As I've said before (and you bitches criticized me for it!), I find January Jones's pregnancy to be one of the most intriguing gossip stories around. It's like a really juicy blind item just waiting to be identified. And now we have some added clues! First, I'd like to point something out: I predicted this turn of events when January first announced her pregnancy on the eve of the royal wedding. I did the math and realized that January had likely been impregnated during the tailend of the X-Men: First Class production, most of which happened in London. On Twitter, I jokingly considered January's X-Men costar (and my current fantasy lover) Michael Fassbender. The idea of My Fassbender not only boning Zoe Kravitz but impregnating January kind of made me sick, but it was also a barely-decent possibility. Turns out, Fassbender truly is in contention! Ugh, I think I'm going to be sick:
[From E! News] Here's a list of the actors involved on X-Men: First Class (and no, I'm not going to take married dudes out of contention - this is January "I Boned Bobby Flay" Jones after all): James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Kevin Bacon, Jason Flemyng, Lucas Till, Oliver Platt, Ray Wise, Edi Gathegi. And let's not forget Matthew Vaughn, the director (who is married to Claudia Schiffer, so he has a type, you know?). Of course, it could have been a producer or someone on the crew. But let's say it's not. Is Fassbender in the mix of potential baby-daddies? Out of all of these dudes, I am going to dismiss McAvoy and Bacon, just because I seriously doubt they would fool around on their spouses. Hoult got with Jennifer Lawrence on the film, but he could still be in the running. Fassbender got with Zoe, but he's still in the running too. So is everybody else! Ugh, if Fassbender is the baby-daddy, there is going to be some SERIOUS DRAMZ (with me). Still, I have my fingers crossed that it’s Oliver Platt.

| Charlie Sheen talks goddess replacement, custody battles, and his new anthem Posted: 10 May 2011 08:13 AM PDT
In relatively good news, Charlie Sheen’s ridiculous Violent Torpedo of Truth Tour (and all of its associated angry fans and walkouts) has officially concluded. However, now that the man has returned to “Sober Valley Lodge” and realized that he’s got absolutely no immediate career prospects and (presumably, even worse) he’s down to just one goddess, he’s got absolutely nothing to do with his time except maybe do some more drugs and complain to the nearest available media outlet that will take his calls. As such, Sheen has spoken about possible goddess replacement, his ongoing custody battle with Brooke Mueller, and his career with E! Online, which has also posted a video of Sheen’s new “anthem” (we aren’t posting it because it’s stuck on autoplay, but you can watch it here), which is a musical collaboration with Snoop Dogg and guitarist Rob Patterson and is entited “Winning.” The song was actually part of Sheen’s tour roster, but the audience booed in response, so Sheen pulled the song but is now selling it on iTunes (allegedly as part of a foundation to help tornado victims in the South) and wants to tell you all about it:
[From E! Online] Charlie goes on to say that he doesn’t know if he’ll ever consider another television show because he “wasn’t treated fairly.” Well, I’m not sure exactly what Sheen’s definition of “fair” is, but making $2 million per episode and being allowed to lock hookers in closets, inhale briefcases worth of cocaine, and badmouth one’s boss and the network repeatedly before getting fired, well, that seems more than fair to me. I think that, at this point, even a great portion of people who initially supported Sheen after he was fired from “Two and a Half Men” have fallen by the wayside. As far as his anthem goes, I was initially puzzled as to why Snoop Dogg would even associate with Sheen, but then I realized that Snoop associates with everything. He makes mashed potatoes with Martha Stewart; he films beer commercials as German folk singer Roy Black; he records records country music and dedicates it to Johnny Cash. So Snoop is somewhat forgiven for his transgressions here, but Sheen? Never.

| Linnocent celebrated last night: does she look sober to you? Posted: 10 May 2011 08:05 AM PDT
Yesterday, CB reported that Linnocent could possibly be getting away with 14 DAYS of jail for her crack thievery/probation violation, after the judge sentenced her to 120 DAYS. The idea of Linnocent under house arrest instead of jail was bad enough - but the idea that Linnocent would simply be done after two (cracked-out) weeks is terrible. Linnocent thought so too - thus, she went out partying last night to celebrate. She looks so… yeah. Like she's been sitting in the club bathroom, doing shooters in between lines of coke.
Meanwhile, on Sunday night Linnocent went out (again) for photographer Tyler Shields' show, Life is Not a Fairytale. The cracked-out shenenigans were all over the place:
[From E! News] Yes, I'm sure Linnocent disappeared because of all of the photographers. It's not like she wanted to find some coat closet to get all coked up, and then she could pose her glassy eyes off. Here are a couple of Linnocent's Shields photos that were shown:

| Would you pay $75 to hang out with RHONJ star Teresa Giudice? Posted: 10 May 2011 07:46 AM PDT
[From The NY Post] For $75 you only get one hour of free drinks and hors d’ouevres. That’s ridiculous. I didn’t miss these people at all, especially with the much more interesting and arguably phonier Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to take their place. We heard rumors last year that Teresa was pulling a diva act with producers and might not re-sign for this season, but unfortunately she’s back and she’s kind of the star of the show now that her nemesis Danielle is off. After the Miami housewives were canceled Bravo has to fill the void and these New Jersey women are like the budget grifter version of the Beverly Hills ladies. I shouldn’t say that, because it’s Teresa who is the grifter and Jacqueline and Caroline actually seem like decent people. That’s why Teresa is the star. Here’s Teresa on The Today Show a few days ago. She seems scared and says basically nothing except that people should watch the show when it premieres on May 16th. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Teresa is shown on 3/30/11 and 4/4/11 with co-stars Jacqueline Laurita and Caroline Manzo and her husband, Joe.

| Will Emily Deschanel’s pregnancy shut down production of ‘Bones’? Posted: 10 May 2011 07:30 AM PDT
If you're not a fan of Bones, you should probably just skip this post. I love Bones, and I'm trying to get CB to start watching it. It's such a good show! I mean, it's not like high art or anything, but I described it to CB as "a romantic comedy with gross-out forensics". I love the chemistry between Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz, and I'm looking forward to this season's final two episodes, which might include SOMETHING in the boning area. Get it? "Boning." Ha! Anyway, these are new photos of the stars of Bones at a Paley Center event, including Emily and her growing pregnancy bump in a too-loud orange dress. Even though the dress is fug, I still find her so beautiful, and she David just look RIGHT together. Bones also just recently (in the past week) got picked up for its seventh season. It's a hit show with a major following and great numbers, so I hope everybody gets to make the show for as long as they want to make it. Meanwhile, Emily recently discussed how her pregnancy is affecting production:
[From Digital Spy] Emily is not only the star, she's also a producer on the show, so that's why she's really trying to make the schedule work for everyone - she really, really cares about making sure the show stays in production. Other Bones producers have a different idea though - and it involves that odd "backdoor spinoff" episode that featured Geoff Stults, Michael Clarke Duncan and Saffron Burrows:
[From Deadline] Even though I spent this whole post gushing about how much I love Emily, I think it would be perfectly possible to continue Bones as-is without Emily for seven episodes and everyone would be fine. They could just bring in more interns (Mr. Nigel-Murray is my favorite) or some fun guest stars and it would be all good. We'll see what happens.

| Prince William & Kate Middleton are finally on their honeymoon (update) Posted: 10 May 2011 07:23 AM PDT
Well, Prince William and Kate Middleton (HRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) are finally on their honeymoon, ten days after their wedding. We still don't know exactly where they are or where they're going, and who knows if we'll ever find out? People says it's probably the Seychelles, but Australia, Mustique, Jordan, and Kenya are also in the mix. I remember, about a month ago, there was talk that Kate and Will would be going on a six-week honeymoon, but apparently William only has two weeks of leave from his RAF job:
[From People] The "hitting the local shops" comment reminded me of some questions/comments I've gotten on Twitter regarding what Kate has actually done with her time since getting married. Why are you surprised that the media doesn't really know how to describe it? She doesn't do anything but wait for Will to come home. Apparently, she doesn't even have to clean their house! A housekeeper comes in and cleans. Waity just waits for Will to come home. She probably reads magazines, drives to London to get her hair done, maybe throws some fish sticks in the oven. Does her nails. Watches TV. Basically, what she's done for nine years. I'm just sayin'. It's funny that people are trying to make it seem like she's doing something really fancy or worthwhile. I'm sure she's probably trying to get pregnant too - but perhaps that makes procreating seem too much like a job. It is her job, though. When you marry into the royal family, your JOB is to produce an heir, hopefully pretty quickly. Honeymoon baby? UPDATE: It was just confirmed - they’re in Seychelles. According to The Guardian/Us Weekly: “The Seychelles tourist office confirmed that the royal couple arrived at the international airport on Mahe Tuesday morning — bound for one of the 100-plus islands in the archipelago, located in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa. One potential island? ‘The ultra-exclusive’ Fregate Island Private, The Guardian speculates, which is just a 20-minute helicopter ride away from where William and Kate touched down.”

| Whitney Houston went to rehab for a crack addiction, shock Posted: 10 May 2011 07:08 AM PDT
Here’s more, from Radar:
[From Radar] This is longterm addiction that derailed her career and has basically ruined her life. Now her kids are having very serious issues with drugs and the law and she’s out of commission and unable to parent. At least she’s getting help, but it seems like too little too late with Whitney. This Enquirer cover is from July, 2010. Whitney is shown on 2/12/11 with her daughter, Bobbi Kristina. Credit: WENN.com

| Sarah Jessica Parker attempts massive Southern hair: does she pull it off? Posted: 10 May 2011 06:51 AM PDT
The fashion and style sites are making a big deal about this "new trend" - big, Southern hair. It's a trend I embrace on women like Reese Witherspoon and my mother. It just works on Southern ladies. On non-Southern ladies, it's kind of a disaster. Take Sarah Jessica Parker, who in these photos is arriving for a benefit for The Robin Hood Foundation (an excellent foundation). SJP decided to wear this lovely purple dress (I'm assuming that it's Halston, since SJP is the creative director there), and she styled herself with this massive Dynasty hair. I think… um… odd.
Gisele Bundchen was at the fundraiser too - she wore this equally odd, half-sheer dress. You put this on a woman with a slightly larger bust, and she would look tacky and trashy. On Gisele, it kind of works. I hate when her hair is slicked back, though. She looks like a Disney villainess.
And here's Mariska Hargitay, phoning it in, style-wise. She looks okay, but it's nothing ground-breaking.

| Arnold Schwarzenegger & Maria Shriver separate after 25 years of marriage Posted: 10 May 2011 06:04 AM PDT
The Los Angeles Times broke the story (I think) and now it's official: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have separated after 25 years of marriage. Arnold and Maria were married in the 1980s, and quickly became the go-to "WTF?" couple at the nexus of politics, media and celebrity. Their marriage seemed pretty happy though, and they have four children together (three of whom are already adults). On a personal level, I always bought that they loved and adored each other. CB suggests that Arnold might be in the midst of some kind of mid-life (end of life, really) crisis, but I genuinely thought Arnold worshipped his wife. True, he probably flirted and/or harassed other women. I don't know… I guess I'm just saying that this is kind of sad.
[From People] The LAT notes that Maria is the one who has moved out of their Brentwood mansion, and that she's been out of the house for weeks. The paper also notes that the marriage has perhaps been struggling since Arnold left office, and it seems like they have been living separate lives. Oh, and Maria's dad died in January, and their next-to-last youngest child is about to go away to college. Death of a parent and a somewhat empty nest? Yeah, Maria is probably going through a really rough time right now, and I wouldn't be surprised if she was the one to instigate the separation. CB does think that it might be Arnold being a d-bag though - he's trying to jumpstart his long-dead action career once again, and he's signed on to THREE new movies, including another Terminator movie. Their 25th wedding anniversary was on April 26. Sad! UPDATE: Sorry about that, I said it the wrong way - the 14 year old kid is not going to college, their 18 year old (Patrick, who is kind of a d-bag) is going to college. It’s not really an empty nest, just kind of an empty nest.
