Dame Gwyneth deigns to rap NWA & make style suggestions for peasants

Posted: 19 May 2011 08:38 AM PDT

People are talking about Gwyneth's latest GOOP newsletter like it's something groundbreaking awful. For this week's newsletter, Dame Goop decided to make some style suggestions for peasants, because she's so tired of seeing our fat peasant asses clothed in pants that cost less than a mortgage payment. My point? This is nothing new. Goop fashions herself a one-woman Vogue Magazine. She is all about being aspirational to peasants, and if you've been reading GOOP since the beginning, you know that this junk has been WAY worse in previous newsletters. My favorite part of Goopy's must-have shopping list (which comes out to over $18,000 - JUST FOR SUMMER) is that Her Goopiness actually models all of the crap she's shilling. She really put a lot of time and thought into it too - she must have hired a photographer, a lighting guy, makeup artist, hair stylist, all of the perks, just to justify her "must have" Stella McCartney blazer (which is fug as hell). You can read the newsletter here, and I've included some of the goopy modeling photos below.

Meanwhile, the video has come out of Gwyneth's recent appearance on Graham Norton. She cooks! She snots! She raps! I know everyone is talking about her NWA rap, but I was barely able to get to it because I was so overcome by her crazy horrible voice. She's so… horrible. That voice. The NWA rapping part begins around 6:40. IT'S TERRIBLE. My favorite part is watching Geoffrey Rush's face. He's just got this look on his face like "Dear God, MAKE THIS BITCH STFU."

My dear friend EZE once told me, ‘Gwyneth, you are my best friend in the whole world, you must give the world the gift of your song, and your rap skills, which are second to none.’ So I told him, ‘E, I must give you my recipe for duck a la goop, because it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE.’ Alas, he is dead now, so I can only communicate with him through my dear friend Mikhail Baryshnikov, who acts as my personal medium.”

Here are those goopy glamour shots, as promised:

Lady Gaga ousts Oprah from #1 on Forbes Celebrity 100 list

Posted: 19 May 2011 08:25 AM PDT

fp_7316819_barm_ladygaga_concert_04_05

Forbes just issued its annual “Celebrity 100″ list, which aims to rank actors, models, musicians, athletes, and the like through some enormously complicated algorithm (that we couldn’t possibly understand), which not only awards points for monetary earnings but also for tv/radio, media, web, and social rankings. Apparently, omnipresence is key, and who (for better or worse) is more present in this day and age than Lady Gaga? In fact, Gaga only earned $90 million compared to Oprah Winfrey’s $290 million, but Gaga’s influence has somehow overshadowed that of Oprah, which meant a displacement at the #1 position:

The men and women on our annual Celebrity 100 list–the most powerful people in the entertainment business this year–earned $4.5 billion over the last 12 months by starring in films, playing basketball, walking the catwalk and more. But they also rose to the top by garnering influence.

These days that means mastering social media. Lady Gaga topples Oprah Winfrey from her No.1 spot on our list, which she’s given up for only the third time in seven years. Gaga is there not just because of the $90 million she earned with a monster tour, but also because of her 32 million Facebook fans and 10 million Twitter followers–aka Little Monsters–who helped move 1 million digital downloads of her recent single “Born This Way” in only five days. They’re also happy to buy the MAC makeup, Monster headphones and Virgin Mobile phones she features in her videos.

Oprah doesn’t fall far though. The daytime talk maven, who earned $290 million last year, comes in second. Winfrey’s earnings sank $25 million partially due to a reduced payday at SiriusXM. She still earns big from her syndicated show and from the stars she’s spawned, including Dr. Phil (No. 18), Rachael Ray, and Dr. Oz. Winfrey’s earning power will take a bigger hit next year, when her syndicated show ends and she concentrates all her efforts on the struggling OWN network.

Maybe it would help if Oprah took a lesson from No. 3 Justin Bieber. The Biebs debuts on our list at the tender young age of 17, with $53 million earned over the last 12 months thanks to concerts, music sales and a 3-D documentary movie that grossed $100 million at the global box office. If this were 10 years ago Bieber would still be paying his dues in small clubs and schools, but thanks to the Internet, he’s a sensation. His first hit song, “Baby,” has been viewed 500 million times, a YouTube record.

Despite problems on and off the golf course, Tiger Woods still makes the top 10, ranking sixth with $75 million in annual earnings. Woods hasn’t won a tournament since the revelation of his marital infidelities in 2009, and he recently withdrew from The Players Championship. But he still commands $3 million a pop for overseas appearances, and collects money from his remaining sponsors, Nike and Electronic Arts.

[From Forbes]

In third place? The reprehensible Justin Bieber. Rounding out the top 10 are U2, Elton John, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Simon Cowell, and Lebron James. (Basically, this is a list of people that we can’t stand, right?) Also scoring quite high (#15 with $77 million in earnings) are Leonardo DiCaprio (which will certainly make Blake Lively happy); the nauseating Bethenny Frankel (#42 with $55 million); and Will Smith (#65 with $36 million) because of the upcoming Men in Black III and also because he pimped out his kids (Jaden as the new Karate Kid an actor and Willow as YouTube phenom). Failing to rank at all this year were Britney Spears and Daniel Radcliffe. You can read the full list here.

Kirsten Dunst vs Charlotte Gainsbourg: who looked better?

Posted: 19 May 2011 08:07 AM PDT

wenn5656914

Last night was the premiere of Melancholia, the Lars Von Trier film that looks awful. So awful that Lars Von Trier said a bunch of crap about Nazis and then got banned from the film festival. So awful that between Kiki Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg, barely anyone cares. And only Charlotte Rampling comes out ahead. Many of you liked Kiki's mustardy dress at the photo call yesterday, and I have to say, she did pull it off. However, for the premiere, she wore this tragic Rodarte. I think this junk looks like upholstery. And cheap upholstery at that. But I'll give Kiki credit - she looks "put together". She doesn't look wasted and like she just threw something on. Her makeup and hair are gorgeous, it's just the dress that I hate.

wenn5656855

Meanwhile, CB and I were arguing about Charlotte's ensemble. I kind of like it, because I've watched Charlotte's style evolution through the years, and this is one of her sexiest looks, in my opinion. She usually dresses kind of hipster, lots of Marc Jacobs and high collars and not a lot of skin showing. So this is new - and I love that she did it while super-pregnant. CB thinks it's kind of trashy and fug, and most fashion sites agree. WHATEVER. I like it.

Penelope Cruz’s chichis in black sequin lace: hot or budget 90s?

Posted: 19 May 2011 07:57 AM PDT

wenn5657063
Penelope Cruz has been to so many premieres lately and photocalls in Cannes that I’m surprised to see these new photos of her. She’s now in Madrid for the premiere of Pirates will never die or whatever, and as you may recall we saw her at a photocall there yesterday wearing a questionable navy jumpsuit with front pockets. It wasn’t the worst outfit, and Kaiser and I really loved her hair. It was so pretty long and wavy like that and thank goodness she ditched the clip on bangs.

wenn5657057

Last night Penelope attended the premiere in Madrid wearing a long black form fitting gown with lace sleeves and sequins running along the bustline and the sides. This dress reminds me so much of my early 90s prom dress. It had long lace sleeves very similar to these, although the shoulders were puffy and the thing was deep purple with black lace. While this dress may draw our attention to Penelope’s fabulous nursing boobs it’s fug, as was my prom dress. Like her navy jumpsuit, there’s something “off” about it but it’s not terrible.

wenn5657062

I do like her hair pulled up like that with some strands hanging down. Coupled with those lovely drop earrings and her pretty makeup there’s something so elfin and dainty about her look. She’s a beautiful woman.

wenn5657069

Here’s Penelope with Spanish actor Jordi Molla. He’s not in the movie but I guess he’s big in Spain.

wenn5657067

Look he’s seducing you with his eyes. He’s alternately intrigued and disgusted by you.

wenn5657048

And here she is with costars Oscar Jaenada and Sam Claflin. That one dude Oscar Jaenada is wearing a rock t-shirt with a fancy black jacket over it and big black beads. He’s cracking me up.

Penelope is also shown with Astrid Berges-Frisbey in the picture above. Astrid turns 25 next week although she looks much younger. She’s so pretty and must play the ingĂ©nue.

Pippa Middleton’s duchess dreams & a faux Canadian tuxedo

Posted: 19 May 2011 07:27 AM PDT

61357pcn_pippa11

Here are some new photos of Pippa Middleton, back in London after a whirlwind trip to Madrid with her ex-boyfriend, George Percy. She allegedly had a boyfriend named Alex Loudon, but she hasn't been spotted with him since her sister's wedding. Some think that Pippa and George, the son of the Duke of Northumberland, are just "friends" after their breakup several years ago. I tend to think that she's probably "on a break" with Alex and seeing if she can upgrade to someone richer, with a title. More on this in a moment. What I really want to talk about is Pippa's faux Canadian tuxedo. When CB and I were first looking at these pics, we thought she was wearing full-on denim, but now I think the blouse is just cotton gauze or linen, and it unfortunately looks exactly like her light-wash, tapered jeans. The whole combo is very… I don't know?… dated, I guess. Pippa looks like The Preppie's Girlfriend in an '80s teen film. Here's a little bit more from Us Weekly:

At least one of the famous Middleton sisters is back on home turf.

Pippa Middleton stepped out in London on Thursday — and turned heads yet again. This time, the 27-year-old socialite and entrepreneur kept it super-casual but sexy-chic in a pair of skintight, light-blue jeans, paired with a sleeveless top in a matching hue. Also causing comment was her lunch companion at eatery Casa Brindisa: George Percy, whom she dated back at Edinburgh University.

The son of the Duke of Northumberland (one of the richest men in England), Percy, 26, accompanied Pippa and her pals for a weekend romp in Madrid, Spain. The duo have reportedly been pals for over 10 years. Middleton's current beau of one year, Alex Loudon, stayed behind in London.

(Middleton's big sister Duchess Kate, 29, is currently wrapping up a reportedly $720,000 honeymoon on the Seychelles’ North Island with hubby Prince William.)

How does Pippa keep that suddenly-famous bod in shape, anyway? Pilates!

“Over the past few months I have noticed a huge difference in my core strength and posture,” she wrote of her fave studio at London’s Parson’s Green near her flat. “From breathing techniques, muscle toning to overall flexibility and relaxation, my Pilates sessions have become something of a weekly necessity that keeps me fit, happy and energized.”

[From Us Weekly]

Regarding my previous post where I referred to the House of Northumberland as "royal" - yeah, I was wrong. I was just thinking "duke, duchess, royal," but many of you were right, the duchy of Northumberland is "aristocracy" and a member of the peerage, but not royal. I looked up the house on Wikipedia and I found that George Percy is really The Earl Percy, because he's the firstborn son and heir to the current Duke of Northumberland. God, I love British sh-t. I could look up peerages all day and be quite happy. Anyway, if Pippa got with George right now, before he becomes a Duke, Pippa would be Lady Percy, and then later, the Duchess of Northumberland. And I do think Pippa is going to try to make this or something like this happen. Pippa wants a title. Maybe she won't get to be a princess, but she may get to be a duchess.

Victoria Beckham schedules her C-section in America, for the 4th of July

Posted: 19 May 2011 07:00 AM PDT

fp_7234754_barm_westminsterabbey_rw_34_44

Good news, America! Posh Beckham is going to gift us with a very special Independence Day surprise. A BABY! Apparently, Posh is due in early July, and there are reports that she's scheduled a C-section IN AMERICA for the 4th of July. Five bucks says that the name the little girl something like "Founding Father" or "Independence" or "Jefferson". Actually, there was a rumor going around that Posh and Becks would name the baby girl "Atlanta" - which is completely random. Posh's rep denied that, though. So Lala is still in the running, probably with Angel, Malibu, San Fernando (why not?), Santa (of course), Los Feliz (sure), Independence, Firework, Jefferson, and Philadelphia (duh!).

They might be one of Britain's most famous couples but the Beckhams are honouring the U.S. by choosing to have their fourth child Stateside. And Victoria Beckham is said to have booked the date of her Caesarean section for the 4th July – U.S. Independence Day, according to reports.

The decision was made to acknowledge Victoria and David's four years in America but the couple have rubbished reports that they’re naming their daughter Atlanta.

A spokesperson for Mrs Beckham told MailOnline: ‘It is no secret that Victoria will be having her baby in the U.S. - we will not be confirming the date although early July is correct. David and Victoria have a shortlist of names and once they have met their daughter then they will decide - Atlanta is not on that shortlist!’

Mrs Beckham is said to have preliminarily booked her C-section at a London hospital, but instead opted for Los Angeles as the place of birth. The Sun has reported that the 37-year-old will have her baby in LA and has hired a house near their home for relatives to stay in.

A source said: 'Vic and David love America, its culture and her people, who have welcomed them with open arms. The most important thing is the health of mother and baby and things can always change last minute. But if it's possible for the baby to be born on Independence Day, Vic and David will be thrilled.'

[From The Mail]

You know Posh is truly aiming for the 4th of July. And I can't blame her, honestly. I'm saying this as a daughter of an immigrant: immigrants friggin' love American holidays. Truly. My dad always loved the 4th of July in particular. The history of it, celebrating your adopted country's freedom from tyranny, the fireworks, the grilling of meat. I would imagine it's the same for Posh, kind of. But mostly she thinks that if she gives birth on the 4th of July and names her little girl "These Truths To Be Self-evident," Anna Wintour might give her a cover.

In additional to the baby, Posh and Becks also added a new puppy to their family. A French bulldog puppy named Scarlet joins their English bulldog Coco. Posh has been tweeting photos for days. Scarlet is such a cutie!

One of Arnold’s mistress hires lawyer Gloria Allred - says there are over a dozen

Posted: 19 May 2011 06:42 AM PDT

fp_7308978_schwarzenegger_a
In our last story on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s housekeeper/mistress/secret baby momma, three of you mentioned that she would probably lawyer up and hire Gloria Allred. (After a lot of wooing on Allred’s part of course.) Well Allred has scored another one of Arnold’s “alleged” mistresses as a client, and that woman claims that she knows of at least thirteen of Arnold’s mistresses. This is a Tiger Woods level scandal, and it involves the man who controlled the eighth largest economy in the world for the last eight years.

According to Radar, a actress named Gigi Goyette has hired Allred, and has stated that she first had sex with Arnold back in 1975 when she was 16 and he was 28. That makes it statutory rape, although the statute of limitations has long since passed. They met up again in 1989 when he was married to Maria. Goyettes details one of their romps in which she once had sex with Arnold “in her hotel room while Maria was in another room on the same floor.”

We’ve also heard about a flight attendant who allegedly had an affair with Arnold. She’s denied that her son is Arnold’s and claims that a DNA test proves that he’s not.

mildred1blur1

Meanwhile the housekeeper mistress story rages on. There are plenty of photos and details coming out about Arnold’s relationship with the woman who had his son and worked for his family for 20 years. TMZ has a photo of Arnold dancing with the other woman, Mildred Patty Baena, in 1994, three years before she had his baby. Arnold also paid for the Baena’s niece’s Quinceanera, or coming of age party, in 2001. Apparently the mistress’ sister, the mother of the girl who had the party, also worked for Arnold. I wonder if he was boning the sister too.

TMZ claims that Baena was single white femaling her rival, Maria Shriver, and that she would “dress in her clothing,” “wear her jewelry around town” and bang her husband in her own bed during the day while Shriver was at work.

fp_7334831_schwarzenegger_l

There are some reports that Arnold bought his mistress her four bedroom home in Bakersfield, CA last year for over $268,000. Other reports have her taking out a loan of $216,000, meaning she put $52,000 down. She may have had help with the down payment, but it’s not like the home was purchased for her outright.

We heard yesterday that Baena threatened to go public when Arnold fired her, although TMZ says that she’s always been loyal to Arnold (probably for a good reason, cha ching) and that an investigation by the LA Times prompted Arnold to come clean.

Meanwhile there’s more evidence that Baena’s 14 year-old son is Arnold’s. She listed her husband as the father on the boy’s birth certificate, but checked off the box for “no minor children” when she got a divorce.

fp_5930973_rij_journalism_a

Oh and Maria Shriver has lawyered up too. She just hired high-powered divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, also known for representing Britney Spears. Good for her.

This is about to get a lot more interesting, and Allred will dig up even more mistresses. Just wait.

Bonus link: Gawker compiled this encyclopedia of every other awful thing Arnold Schwarzenegger has done, but it’s of course in no way complete despite how extensive it is.

Arnold is shown on 5/11/11, before the scandal broke. Maria is shown on 10/21/10. Credit: Fame

Brad Pitt wants to work with Angelina again, wants to do “everything together”

Posted: 19 May 2011 06:41 AM PDT

wenn3344534

Brad Pitt is still talking! To promote Tree of Life, he gave an interview to the Associated Press, and he talks about family and junk. There's no talk of Jesus in this piece, sorry! But he does talk about The Other Jesus, Angelina, and whether or not they'll work together again, etc. I don't really know what to say because I think Brad sounds nice here and I don't find his comments controversial in the least, but I thought that about his religion quotes too, so what do I know?

When it comes to family, bigger is better for Brad Pitt. Now 47, the actor didn’t have any kids several years ago; now he has six (three adopted, three biological) with love Angelina Jolie.

“I know it seems extreme from the outside, but I’ve always kind of operated this way,” Pitt told the Associated Press in an interview at the Cannes Film Festival, where he’s promoting his film Tree of Life. “When I know, I know, and why mess around?”

Although Pitt himself didn’t have a particularly large family growing up, he was inspired by a close pal. “I had a friend who had a big family when I was a kid,” he explained. “I just loved the chaos around the breakfast table and the fighting and the ribbing, and the mom making pancakes for everyone or the dad making pancakes,” added the father to Maddox, 8, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 4, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 2.

“I just decided then if I was ever going to do it — this left some indelible mark on me — if I was ever going to do it, that’s the way I was going to do it.”

Indeed, Pitt added that “breakfast is my specialty” in the household, and loves inspiring his own “chaos around the breakfast table.”

As he’s said in previous interviews, fatherhood has changed the way he selects his film roles.

“I think my focus before was more irreverence, by nature,” the Oscar nominee noted. “I’m a dad now. It’s more important to me that if I’m going to do the film, there’s something I can bring to it, it’s not generic. And most of all, I’m painfully aware that my kids are going to see these when they’re older, and I want them to understand something about their dad, and I want them to be proud of their dad.”

What about a future collaboration with love Jolie, 35, whom he famously met on the set of the 2005 flick Mr. and Mrs. Smith (while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston).

“We’re not ones to repeat ourselves, but we’d like to, because right now, we’re hopscotching with films so one can be with the kids and one’s free to work,” Pitt explained of reteaming with Jolie. “And why aren’t we doing them together? Why aren’t we doing everything together?”

[From Us Weekly]

I'm going to say something that will make people yell at me, but I don't care: I think Brad has become a better actor in the years he's spent with Angelina, and I think that in the same time frame, he's made more interesting career choices than in the rest of his career. I do think Brad's career priorities changed, as did his place in the industry, when he and Angelina got together and when he became a father. He's got money now, he's got stature, and he doesn't sign on to a movie unless he likes the script or the director, and even then he wields quite a lot of power. My point? I think I'm saying that Brad is still going to be very relevant in Hollywood for many years to come. I could even see him winning an Oscar at some point. Shocking, I know.

And yeah, in those dumb glasses, he's totally trying to look like Jack Nicholson.

Ashton Kutcher on his Two and a Half Men gig: “like I won the lotto”

Posted: 19 May 2011 06:31 AM PDT

wenn3349546
Ashton Kutcher and his Jesus beard posed for a photocall at the CBS Upfronts with his costars. They’re promoting Ashton’s new role on Two in a Half Men, in which he’s stepping in for Charlie Sheen but is playing another character. I have to say he looks really good with Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones. Jones is 17 now and is growing up into such a cute young man. TV Guide has a good explanation of how Kutcher landed this gig, and they quote an analyst who says that while his addition might make the show popular in the short term, it’s uncertain whether Kutcher has staying power. I agree with that entirely, but I could be wrong. What’s more is that a lot of the names floated in the press as up for consideration for Charlie’s job, apart from Hugh Grant, have supposedly been wrong:

wenn3350659

It almost didn’t happen. After Sheen self-imploded and was fired from Two and a Half Men in March, the studio, network and Lorre began looking at ways to evolve the show. “From the beginning, Chuck had been keen on formulating a plan and a new character,” says one insider.

But the clock was ticking. Lorre and Co. aimed high. “They were going after movie stars,” a source says. Lorre was following the model of sitcom Spin City, which replaced star Michael J. Fox in 2000 with a film actor — coincidentally, Sheen.

Red herrings started appearing in the press: names such as Bob Saget, John Stamos and Jeremy Piven. “All the names speculated were totally wrong,” the source says. From the very beginning, Kutcher was on Lorre’s short list. The idea had big merits. He was a sitcom vet, having spent eight seasons on Fox’s That ’70s Show. Both he and Lorre got their first big career breaks inside venerable sitcom powerhouse Carsey-Werner, the studio behind That ’70s Show, as well as Roseanne, Cybill and Grace Under Fire (three shows where Lorre cut his teeth).

According to New York magazine’s website, Vulture, it was CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler who first broached the idea with Kutcher’s lawyer, her old friend Robert Offer. But rather than put their eggs in one basket, Lorre, CBS and Warner Bros. TV were pursuing different tracks with three actors, including Hugh Grant. The idea of Grant had its internal fans, and would have dramatically changed the direction of Two and a Half Men. Grant also might have avoided many direct comparisons to Sheen because of his completely different, self-deprecating acting style. But there were also insiders who felt that Kutcher made more sense, given his ease on a multicamera sitcom stage.

Ultimately, Grant passed. “He got cold feet at the last minute,” says one insider close to the talks, and Kutcher became a front-runner.

The actor also comes with serious social-media cred, having garnered nearly 7 million followers on Twitter. And his production company, Katalyst, is already set up at Warner Bros. TV’s Warner Horizon division. Before that, Katalyst was based at CBS TV Studios, so Kutcher has worked closely with both companies for years.

For Kutcher, the high-profile gig makes sense for other reasons: His film career has generated only so-so results. This winter’s No Strings Attached garnered a decent $71 million at the box office, but last summer’s Killers was a flop. Plus, the stakes are relatively low: If Two and a Half Men stays strong, he’s a hero. If not, viewers simply don’t want to watch without Sheen.

Kutcher will also become one of the highest-paid stars in prime time, pulling down between $625,000 and $700,000 an episode (Sheen was earning $1.3 million an episode). “Ashton knows it’s a good gig,” says one insider.

“I think it’s a really good idea,” adds a rival network executive. “He’s a guy that people like. I think people definitely will want to check it out.”

Media analyst Steve Sternberg believes a Kutcher-led Men will get big sampling early on, but he harbors doubt about its long-term health: “I’m not sure Ashton Kutcher is as popular as the media thinks,” he says. “His recent movies have not performed well…[but] it could just be that he’s best-suited for TV.”

In a statement, Kutcher said, “I’m going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people.” Lorre, meanwhile, called him “talented, joyful and just plain remarkable.”

[From TV Guide]

I wonder which other actor Lorre was considering for the part. Could it have been Rob Lowe as rumored? He would have also been a great choice. Ashton I’m kind of “meh” on. He does look superficially good here as part of the team, but all I have to do is remember any show or movie I’ve seen him in and I come back to reality. He’s a goofball, but maybe that will play well on television again.

At the upfronts, Ashton was very positive about his new job. He said “It’s awesome to be here. I could not be more excited. I never in my 13 years of show business received more e-mails and phone calls congratulating me for this job. It’s almost like I won the lotto. And I kind of did… I got the best job in show business and I'm excited about that.”

We’ll see how he feels about it in a year or two, but over $16 million a season has got to be nice for a guy who used to make just two to three sh*t movies a year.

Naomi Campbell gets to party with Vladimir Doronin, but he’s still not marrying her

Posted: 19 May 2011 06:24 AM PDT

fp_7335236_ang_grisogono_2_16_31

Naomi Campbell has been all over Cannes in the past week. I think it's an annual thing for her - she party-hops, yacht-hops, gets wasted, etc. For this Cannes, however, Naomi threw one of her "Fashion for Relief" runway shows in which designers and models donate their time (and clothes) for humanitarian crises (this particular show raised money for Japan). Naomi always gets people to turn out, because, seriously, when Naomi asks you to do something, you're going to do it right? You might get maimed by a diamond-encrusted cell phone if you don't. My point? I can't bash her for organizing these "Fashion for Relief" shows - they're always big shows and good events for raising money.

What was more notable to me was that Naomi's married lover/fiancĂ© was on her arm throughout all of the festivities. Vladimir Doronin, who is still technically married, walked red carpets and partied with Naomi night after night. I've asked this before, and I'll ask it again: will Vlad ever divorce his wife? Will Naomi ever be anything more than the girlfriend/mistress? They've been together for more than three years now, and I have to say that I think Vlad probably loves her crazy ass. But these are the first photos of them where he's tossed aside his stoic demeanor. He looks… sexy. I would shack up with that.
