Mel Gibson leaves Jodie Foster high and dry at Cannes photocall Posted: 17 May 2011 08:47 AM PDT The Cannes International Film Festival rages on with the The Beaver photocall, for which director and actress Jodie Foster was front and present but her co-star, Mel Gibson, was quite notably absent in spite of the fact that he was reportedly expected to attend. Surely, Jodie is fine with the fact that Mel was not present at the photocall because, no matter what, she’ll always love that man for the rest of her life even though he’s left her to deal with this mess all by herself. Obviously, I have to wonder whether the woman even has a grasp on reality any longer. Not only does Jodie have poor taste in male associates, but she dared to describe the lower percentage of female directors as “race psychology,” yet she herself (despite being a woman) convinced a studio to give her $20 million of funding to make a movie about a guy who talks through a puppet. Indeed, the film has already received a U.S. limited release, for which it only brought in a measly $104,000 from 22 theaters. So it seems that Mel’s recent extensive, self-piting interview didn’t help sell tickets, and he’s sitting this one out like a pouting child:
[From The Independent] Perhaps Jodie and Mel talked this over beforehand and decided it would be best for him not to attend and distract from the topic at hand. However, it’s pretty clear that Mel distracts from The Beaver whether or not he’s actually present; so if he is truly so “incredibly proud” of this movie, the very least he could have done is to establish a presence and show some support for his unyieldingly loyal friend, co-star, and director. What a douche move, but there’s a slim chance that he might actually show up for the premiere itself. Admittedly, Jodie wasn’t completely alone for the photocall and press conferences because Kyle Killen and Keith Redmon bothered to show up. Her co-star, however, is another matter altogether.

Christina Aguilera blames intervention on ex employees, Matt Lauer calls her out Posted: 17 May 2011 08:36 AM PDT
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Christina Aguilera and her yarn hair were on The Today Show this morning to promote her reality competition show The Voice. She really looks like a washed up drag queen now and she should put some work into toning down her look. XTina doesn’t listen to advisors, and I’m sure she thinks she looks hot with shiny red lipstick, heavy liquid eyeliner and comically fake eyelashes. To Matt Lauer, XTina repeated her same old line about how people are judging her due to her inability to do her job or remain sober enough to remember her address or the lyrics to the National Anthem. She worked this into a discussion about the contestants and how they need to beware of the press now that they’re semi-famous, as if it’s all the press’ fault for noticing that Aguilera has been a drunken mess. When Matt asked Christina if anyone had tried to stage an intervention after her public mishaps, she blamed that on “ex disgruntled employees” and said that anyone who was her true friend wouldn’t dare question her when she’s falling down drunk. At least that’s what I got out of it, and it’s consistent with what the tabloids have been reporting about how she fired everyone who told her she needed help.
She’s so snotty, self absorbed and condescending and I’m sure those people who are “ex employees” became so when they tried to call her on her bullsh*t. Meanwhile XTina is still drinking up a storm, because she doesn’t have a problem, get it? In Touch had details of one of her recent benders with her boyfriend, Matt Rutler, and how she screwed up a charity gig.
[From In Touch, print edition, May 23, 2011] So Christina’s true friends party with her, they don’t tell her she needs to quit drinking once she starts screwing up important gigs. This is a woman who is heavily in denial. Christina is shown on 5/16/11 in New York. Camel toe! Credit: HRC/WENN and Fame |
Brad Pitt on his religious childhood: “I found it very stifling” Posted: 17 May 2011 08:34 AM PDT As promotion for Tree of Life heats up, I'm finding that most media outlets really want to discuss the character Brad Pitt is playing in specific terms. Some say he's playing an physically and emotionally abusive father. Some say he's just playing a typically "strong" father of the 1950s. I'm still not sure, but Brad is getting good reviews for his performance, and some are even hinting at another Oscar nomination for him. Of course, the film is kind of controversial, and some people absolutely hate it (thus, the handful of boos at yesterday's screening). Director Terrence Malick seems to want to raise discussions about religion and family and the universe, etc. So when Brad got some questions about how he was raised, he took the bait:
[From Extra] I think Brad is pretty much an agnostic at this point. Maybe even an atheist. He's talked before about how religion "doesn't work" for him but I think he tends to use "religion" as a catch-all for organized religions, for Christianity and his parents' faith. My guess? Brad is kind of Buddhist. Budget Buddhist. Here are some photos of Brangelina leaving the post-premiere party last night: |
Kate Hudson & a punked-out Ginnifer Goodwin cover Marie Claire: cute? Posted: 17 May 2011 08:03 AM PDT Here is the cover for the June issue of Marie Claire, starring Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin. They star in Something Borrowed, that rom-com that already came out (and died quickly, right?). So… this feels kind of dated. Not just because the movie is already out, but because it also appears that Ginnifer and Kate shot this cover a long time before Kate began showing. I don't even want to talk about Kate right now - her face looks wonky - but look at Ginnifer! That's one way to come out of rom-com/nice-girl purgatory, right? Chop off most of your hair and tease that junk up until you show everyone that you're more Ziggy Stardust than Julia Roberts. Ginnifer is so punk. I kind of love it. Anyway, Marie Claire hasn't released anything from the article, but I did find some good quotes from Ginnifer from another interview she did. Here are some highlights:
[From The Province] See? Ginnifer is pretty cool. I wish she got more work, and I wish that the work was something other than rom-coms and television shows. Maybe her strength is in television, though, in which case, I hope her show does get picked up. Cover courtesy of The Fashion Spot. Additional pics by WENN. |
Katie Holmes & Suri spend a luxurious day swimming & eating ice cream Posted: 17 May 2011 07:22 AM PDT Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise are in Miami for some reason. And they got pap'd all over the place yesterday, first in the hotel pool and then on an ice cream run. At one point, the paps got some photos of Suri adjusting her little bikini, and they got a shot of Suri's butt crack. I didn't want to use those photos, just because it seemed… gross. Presumably grown men, hiding in some hotel bushes, snapping pics of a little girl in a swimsuit. It's gross. But the photos are still notable I guess because Suri looks like she's a solid little swimmer, and because Katie doesn't seem to have a baby bump hidden in her (odd) swimsuit. I like that Katie's wearing a one-piece, by the way. Bring back the cute one piece! When I look at Katie's one-piece, though, all I can think about are how weird her tan lines must be. And here are the ice cream photos. Suri loves her ice cream. The thought that struck me was: this is Suri's life. Swimming with her mom in the middle of the day in a hotel pool, eating ice cream (presumably) for a meal. All on a weekday. Because God knows, a five year old child doesn't belong in school, right? And before you start yelling at me about all of the celebrity children who aren't going to school - all of them have tutors, I'm pretty sure. Except for Ali Lohan. That's something Ali and Suri seem to have in common - their parents don't put a high premium on education. Does Suri have a tutor? I'm sure she has "handlers" and "wranglers" but you never hear much about her education, do you? You can see more photos of Katie and Suri's special day here. |
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy’s pregnancy is confirmed by her father-in-law Posted: 17 May 2011 06:47 AM PDT Several weeks ago, French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy stepped out for a formal event, and everyone was like "Damn, lady, you look preggo." You can see the photos here - she was definitely carrying some baby-looking weight in her midsection. Anyway, for all of these weeks, the Sarkos have not made any kind of official announcement, I suspect because they wanted to wait to make sure this pregnancy is a go, for real. But now Sarko's dad is confirming the news:
[From People] Carla has said in the past that she would like to have a son with Sarko, but she already has a son (with that dude that she homewrecked, right?) and Sarko has three sons from his previous marriages. So I think it would be nice if Carla and Sarko had a daughter. Have you ever noticed that most successfully elected politicians have daughters? It's a real thing. Fathers of daughters are more likely to run for office, and more likely to be elected. By the way, have you guys been following the IMF president's sexual assault scandal? In case you were wondering, Sarko is going to benefit from Dominique Strauss-Kahn's disgrace and possible/probable jail sentence. Strauss-Kahn was the leading candidate for the French Socialist Party, so now Sarko's reelection is looking a lot easier. Now imagine Carla with her bump joining him on the campaign trail. |
Alexander Skarsgard covers GQ: he refuses to comment on Kate Bosworth Posted: 17 May 2011 06:27 AM PDT
Getting back to reality we have these inspirational 2D images of Mr. Skarsgard, along with a very cute interview. I really love what he said about how nice it is when people ask you about your day! I’ve lived overseas for five years, in Switzerland and Germany, and it’s amazing what you take for granted about American culture. Some Europeans thinks it’s superficial to ask people how they’re doing and not really expect an honest answer, but when no one asks you there’s this emptiness to your day if you’re used to hearing it. I swear I was almost crying the first few days I was back in the US last year after almost a year away. Everyone was so damn nice to me that I wanted to give them all a hug. Alex also jokes about how his famous family will never do a reality show. You know that his insect thin girlfriend would be up for it though, if only to drape her bony appendages around him in every scene.
[From GQ] There’s more on GQ’s website, including this little blurb with his response to a question about his relationship with Kate Bosworth. “When asked about the relationship, he shuts down, smile disappearing, with a completeness and efficiency that could only come from growing up in the public eye. ‘My father always kept the family out of the press,’ he says later, almost apologetic.” He didn’t even say “she’s a great actress,” or “I enjoyed working with her.” Kate and Alex’s movie Straw Dogs is coming out in September, and the trailer has been released. We linked over to it on Lainey yesterday and it just looks so cheesy. It’s a thriller where Alex plays the leader of a redneck gang who go after Kate’s character and her new husband - played by the guy from Hop! I couldn’t get over the fact that it was the doofy guy from Hop, James Marsden. (I just looked him up.) Here’s the trailer. It’s got some violence and scary stuff toward the end and I have to admit that it creeped me out. Alex looks really good in it. He’s menacing as hell. GQ also has a slideshow with Alex on their website and my mouth was hanging open the whole time. These photos are like a mini vacation. |
Blake Lively is attached to Leonardo DiCaprio in Cannes Posted: 17 May 2011 06:10 AM PDT A curious chain of events happened this morning. I've known for a few days that Leonardo DiCaprio has been in Cannes, not to promote any film (that I know of), but simply to party and presumably to troll for new model ass. Then, curiously, this morning I saw some new photos of Leo's ex-girlfriend Bar Refaeli at some event in Cannes. I'm sure she's required to be there for one of her many modeling contracts, but it also gave me a whiff of ex-girlfriend stalker vibes. Bar has always seemed kind of stalker-ish to me. First, she Single White Female'd Gisele, Leo's ex, and now she's putting in the effort to stop by Cannes parties where she might run into the dude who (presumably) dumped her? After I saw the photos of Bar, I then read this piece from Page Six, all about how Blake Lively is also in Cannes, even though she too has nothing to promote. Oh, and she's attached to Leo's hip now:
[From Page Six] Now, when Bar and Leo's split was formally announced, I folded in some news about how Leo and Blake were probably seeing out other. Blake has been trying to make this Leo thing happen for MONTHS. Could it be that Blake is kind of stalking Leo too? What is it about Leo that makes vapid model-types crazy? Anyway, it sounds like Leo is into it. Blake has the body of a model, so I suspect Blake is in the running to be Leo's new girlfriend. Poor Bar! |
Hailee Steinfeld to represent Miu Miu, is she too young at 14? Posted: 17 May 2011 05:53 AM PDT
[From US Weekly] Kaiser reminded me that Hailee went to fashion week to the Miu Miu show and as this article mentions she’s worn the brand to The BAFTAs, The SAG Awards and another event. Hailee has a quirky sense of style, and Miu Miu caters to that. I’d rather see her do an ad for neutrogena or something, but she’s better than that and she’s earned a big high fashion modeling contract. I wish I could be happy for her, but I’m just kind of wary. It’s the mom in me.

Linnocent was “belligerently drunk” at a tequila party, shock! Posted: 17 May 2011 05:46 AM PDT I know this information is going to SHOCK you to your very core. Despite swearing up and down while she was coked out of her skull that she would NEVER EVER be anything less than 100% sober ever again, Linnocent has found herself in another drunken, cracked-out controversy. I'll wait for you pick your jaw up off the floor. According to multiple sources, Linnocent was all kinds of hammered late Sunday night (Monday morning) at a club. SHOCK. You can see photos of her partying with Marilyn Manson here, and you can see Radar's exclusive photo of her here. Here's what went down:
[From Radar] Yeah, let's not pretend that this incident could mean anything significant to Linnocent. What's going to happen? There will be another annotation on her probation report with yet another story about how she's drunk all of the time? All this news means is that we get to laugh in her crackface whenever she tries to pull the "I've changed, I'm so Linnocent, I'll never do anything again!" line. She never learns because she never has to - all she knows is that she'll never have to face any consequences for anything. Curiously, Page Six had a slightly different take on the situation. They had a source who claimed that Linnocent "crashed" this party, and that she was sober when she arrived and crack-hustled her way into the gig, which included a performance by The Kills. Linnocent's rep said: “She did not crash, she is friends with Jamie Hince from the Kills. She came to visit him and went home.” But DeLeon CEO Brent Hocking confirmed, “Lindsay was not invited . . . I advised Chateau management she wasn’t invited and that it wasn’t a good idea for her to be there, given her history.” So… Linnocent crack hustled her way into the party, then proceeded to get wasted and belligerent. Ugh. |
