George Clooney’s Italian BFF says Clooney isn’t gay, doesn’t fake-date

Posted: 06 Jul 2011 08:54 AM PDT

Yet another interview from another "insider" to the George Clooney/Elisabetta Canalis romance. This time, it's not someone on Team Canalis speaking it - the guy who is talking is named Manuele Malenotti, and apparently he's "friends" with boy Eli and George. In fact, he takes credit for introducing them, which… I don't know, it sort of sounds like he makes a lot of "introductions" for his older male friends who want the companionship of younger ladies. Anyway, this dude says definitively that Clooney isn't gay, he just doesn't want to be married or have kids, and he expects the girls he's with to be cool with that.

Newly single George Clooney’s best friend in Italy has confirmed that he split from his girlfriend because the actor did not want to get married and have children. Manuele Malenotti, who introduced Clooney, 50, to model and actress Elisabetta Canalis, 32, at a dinner two years ago confirmed suggestions that had been swirling Hollywood since the couple split last month. Malenotti, who owns bike gear firm Belstaff, also dismissed rumours that Clooney was gay and that the relationship with Elisabetta was all just a publicity stunt.

Speaking to the latest edition of glossy Italian weekly Chi he said: ‘I have known George for ten years. Of all the actors I know in Hollywood he is the one I see the most and we have done lots of charity work together. I know about their relationship because I was the one who got them together. George wanted to meet Elisabetta and he asked me to make the introductions. I did as he asked but inside I always knew that it wouldn’t last - to be honest I was expecting it.'

'You will have to ask them for all the specific reasons. All I can say is that George, when it comes to love, has decided that he is not going to get married again and he is not going to have any children and he won’t change his mind. Big stars like George need people by their side to help them and they are always under immense pressure. For a partner it’s never easy because everybody has their own requirements. To suggest it was a publicity stunt is a lie. I introduced them, I saw them together and I can say that their love story was very intense. In two years they shared numerous moments. He opened the doors of his life to her, introducing her to his friends and family. I totally exclude that it was all made up.'

‘I can also tell you that I have known George for ten years, I have spent a lot of time with him and a lot of women have passed through his life. You never know in life, and men are having an identity crisis but I can tell you George is not gay.’

The couple are said to have had a furious row at his lakeside home Villa Oleandra at Laglio near Como in Italy following an interview she gave last month which suggested marriage could be on the cards.

Addressing Clooney's reputation as an eternal bachelor, she said: ‘I could never be with someone who every time he opens his mouth says he doesn't want a child with me or to marry me.’

Elisabetta had also been unhappy at the fact that she had been on holiday to Mexico on her own recently as well as attending the Cannes film festival and her best friend’s wedding without him.

Elisabetta is believed to be spending time with her friends and family in her home island of Sardinia and has yet to speak publicly about the split with Italian reports suggesting she has signed a golden gagging clause.

[From The Mail]

OMG, "Golden Gagging clause" - yes, that sounds right up Clooney's kinky alley, doesn't it? Golden Gagging clauses, strippers, escorts, soft-core porn stars, Berlusconi's bunga-bunga parties, chicks with Adam's apples, and… LOVE. I honestly think Clooney’s friend has it right - I'll have fun with Clooney and the gay rumors, but at the end of the day, I do think Clooney is just a (mostly) heterosexual dude who likes really trashy, budget women, and he doesn't want to ever settle down. I don't think it's an "identity crisis" either - Clooney has always been like this. It's just that as more time goes by, people are starting to notice that he has pretty awful taste in ladies, and that he NEVER goes for the "nice girls".

Kim Kardashian’s Cosmo cover: still kat-faced, or surprisingly pretty?

Posted: 06 Jul 2011 08:29 AM PDT

Here is the August cover of Cosmopolitan, with a surprisingly pretty photo of Kim Kardashian on the cover. I hate that about Kim - in candid photos and red carpets, she tends to look jacked and crazy kat-faced, but in so many photo shoots, she actually looks gorgeous. It's a certain kind of photogenic quality, and yes, I get that there's Photoshop involved and everything, but she still looks great on this cover.

The only quote from the interview that we've got at this point is this, Kim's thoughts on being a celebrity: “Sometimes I feel like a zoo animal. I’ll be at a restaurant, and someone will put their phone in front of my face and take a picture without saying hi." OMG, POOR KIM. Except… what did she do to become a celebrity again? Oh, right. Sex tape, big ass, kat-face, reality show. She should be happy that people aren't pointing and laughing at her.

In other KK news, last week it was widely reported that Kim wants to get down to a "size 2" for her wedding, and she's been training with Tracy Anderson to make it happen (good luck, Tracy!). This week, there are similar reports, only with a new twist: Kim is so focused on weight loss, she's training with TWO different people.

Kim Kardashian always looks great, but new reports are surfacing she's working harder than ever to get in shape for her big day!

Kim, 30, and Kris Humphries' marriage is just around the corner, and she's working with two different trainers to shed pounds, Life & Style reports.

Although she already weighs 125 and is a size 4, she's hoping to fit into a size-2 gown for her nuptials.

"We don't want to take away Kim's amazing curves," Tracy Anderson, one of Kim's trainers, says. "We just do specific movements to tighten the skin and to pull the muscles tight against the bone."

She's also been attending Barry's Bootcamp, a high-impact training facility for Hollywood elite.

[From Hollywood Life]

Oh, Kim. That girl is going to wreck herself, and I mean that in a bad way. If she wants to lose weight so badly, wouldn't it be nice to take out the ass implants and the breast implants? NO, she's ALL NATURAL. Sorry! I've already said what Kim should do if she really cares about looking great for her wedding - stop with the tweaking. No more injections! Just go natural for a change.

Sidenote: Should we talk about Kim's tweet about Casey Anthony? Remember, Kim's father was Robert Kardashian, one of the lawyers that helped OJ Simpson get off. Kim tweeted yesterday, "WHAT!!!!???!!!! CASEY ANTHONY FOUND NOT GUILTY!!!! I am speechless!!!" Then, after people freaked out, she wrote, "Reading the comments here and it’s nuts people think just because I was close to the OJ trial I can’t have my own opinion on the Casey Anthony case?" Meh. I’m actually on Team Kim on this one - of course people were going to bring up OJ, but Kim is entitled to her own opinion. SHE wasn’t OJ’s lawyer.

Angelina Jolie is pissed that Brad Pitt is flirting with a saucy brunette random

Posted: 06 Jul 2011 08:03 AM PDT

First up: OK! Magazine has a story in this week's issue about Angelina Jolie being all pissy and nasty and paranoid because Brad Pitt is eyeing up a saucy brunette on the set of World War Z. Now, in that film, Brad's wife is being played by the pretty redhead from The Killing, so I don't know who this brunette chick is. Hollywood Life has a photo of the girl, and I think she might be the same chick in the photo above - the girl in the pink tank top.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie famously met and fell in love on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and now it appears that history may be repeating itself. OK! spoke with a source who reports, "[Brad's] been spending a lot of time with a woman who's been with him on and off the set. And word is that Angelina is paranoid about her." Uh-oh!

The on set beauty has been spotted being touchy feely with her famous pal on more than one occasion, and the two seem very comfortable together. This is all happening in Malta as Brad films World War Z, and Angelina is shacked up nearby with the couple's brood of six children.

"Their marriage plans haven't been discussed for weeks now," the source claims. "And it's quite a coincidence that they're being pushed back right when Brad is getting close to another woman."

Ironically Angie, just like Brad's ex Jennifer Aniston, finds the relationship "not cool."

Further complicating issues is Angie's anger over the fact that Brad contacted Jen after the death of her dog Norman.

[From Hollywood Life]

Meh. I don't think Brad would cause a kafuffle with Angelina over some random brunette - if and when Brad screws around, it will be with someone A-list, I think. I could see him trying to put the moves on Cate Blanchett, or Kate Winslet, someone like that. Not on "Random Brunette #4".

Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie has regained her rank as the highest-paid actress in Hollywood, according to Forbes. Her biggest competition? It's not who you think - the only lady making as much money as Angelina is…. Sarah Jessica Parker?!?

She is usually pipped to the post by former love rival Jennifer Aniston. But Angelina Jolie has overtaken her partner’s ex-wife and climbed the ranks to earn the top spot on Forbes magazine’s annual list of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. The Tourist star is sharing first place with Sarah Jessica Parker after both stars earned US$30million in the year from May 2010 to May 2011.

Meanwhile Jennifer Aniston shared third place with Reese Witherspoon, each earning $27million this year. Aniston climbed one spot from the 2010 list while Witherspoon fell from second place.

Angelina Jolie’s two films Salt and The Tourist, raked in $300million and $280million respectively.

And despite being savaged by critics and fans, the Sex and the city sequel, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, still achieved $290million at the box office, although it earned significantly less than the first movie which earned $415million). Parker, who was named Creative Director of the Halston Heritage label last year, has an income from her highly successful fragrances. While a third Sex and the City film is rumoured, the actress will next be seen in the romantic comedy I Don’t Know How She Does It.

A string of flops don’t appear to have affected Jennifer Aniston’s earning power. The former Friends star partnered with Adam Sandler in Just Go With It, which earned a solid $212million, and her ensemble comedy Horrible Bosses is out this month. She tied with 2007 top earner Reese Witherspoon, who has also overcome flops in the last year, such as How Do You Know which suffered a loss of $73million. Her latest, Water For Elephants with Robert Pattinson, has earned $57million so far on an estimated $38million budget.

Julia Roberts has still got it, proving that she can star in just one film a year and still rake in $20million. The Pretty Woman’s only feature last year, Eat, Pray, Love made a tidy $205million at the box office. Roberts supplements her salary as the face of Lancome cosmetics and Lavazza coffee - she is understood to have been paid 1.2million euros for a 45-second non-speaking role for the Italian coffee house.

In another tied position, Twilight star Kristen Stewart matched Roberts’ $20million for her work on the vampire franchise. Kristen has completed work on the final installments, Breaking Dawn parts One and Two, and is next starring in Snow White and the Huntsman.

Katherine Heigl earned $19million, followed by Cameron Diaz, whose earnings fells from $32million the previous year to $18million. Her latest comedy Bad Teacher is currently performing well, earning $31million in its opening weekend in the US.

Last year’s top earner Sandra Bullock also plummeted down the list, earning $15million, compared to 2010’s staggering $56million. The Oscar winner stepped out of the spotlight in recent months following her stellar professional year (marred by her very messy and public divorce from husband Jesse James) to care for newly adopted son Louis. She is back on a film set now shooting Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close alongside George Clooney.

Meryl Streep rounds out the top ten actresses, earning $10million for romantic comedy It’s Complicated.

[From The Mail]

I don't know how much of a victory this is for Angelina considering she's right up there with SJP. Meh. Plus, I always feel like the top-earning ladies have targets on their backs, that they're making such crazy paychecks that everyone is just rooting for them to fail.

Natalie Portman allegedly named her son “Alef”

Posted: 06 Jul 2011 07:23 AM PDT

Natalie Portman gave birth to her son nearly three weeks ago, but until now, we haven't heard much about what she named the little boy. Some people said that not announcing the name is a Jewish tradition…? If it is, I guess I understand. Plus, Natalie and Benjamin both have been in hiding since the birth - there have been no paparazzi photos that I'm aware of either of them. So… if we ever did find out the baby name, how would Natalie do it? A simple confirmation to People Magazine would have been my guess. But this works too - an Israeli talk show host announced the name in Israel. That name? Alef. It's Hebrew. I’m assuming it’s pronounced Ah-LEAF. Correct me if I’m wrong.

After almost a month of waiting, Natalie Portman and her fiance Benjamin Millepied have reportedly let the news slip about what they named their baby boy, who was born in mid-June.

According to the Israeli TV show Good Evening with Guy Pines (remember, Natalie was born in Israel!), Natalie and Benjamin have chose the name Alef for their son!

Alef is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It has been said that the letter represents the "oneness of God" and is related to the element of Air.

Natalie and Benjamin declined to confirm the name.

Now that we know baby Millepied's name, we're simply waiting for those first baby photos!

[From Holly Baby]

Ah, so naming your baby Alef is like naming your baby after a LETTER? Like, Alpha? Or Kay. Or Jay. Or Dubya. I thought Alef was going to be, like, the Hebrew version of "Alex". It's kind of let down for me, because there are some really lovely Hebrew names for boys. Noah, Abraham, Jonah, Isaac, etc. But no, we've got Alef.

Sidenote: It seems the baby name speculation involved the names "Alf" and "Arthur". Alef is certainly better than those picks.

Duchess Kate eats solids, wears skinny jeans for a camping trip: cute?

Posted: 06 Jul 2011 06:52 AM PDT

Here are some new photos of Duchess Kate and Prince William, camping in the "frontier town" of Yellowknife in Canada. The press is making this camping trip out to be like a second honeymoon, but there were lots of other people camping with them, and obviously, there were photographers too. Will and Kate spent their time "feasting on local cranberries, bannock bread and Caribou steaks cooked over an open campfire in total peace and solitude." I might be more convinced if I saw photos of Kate actually putting food to her mouth, but seeing her with a fork in her hand, trying to look like she eats solids will have to be good enough:

The jeans and blouse combo that you see in these photos is actually a costume change - earlier in the day (yesterday), Kate was wearing a cream-colored linen dress by Malene Birger - you can see a photo here.

Meanwhile, many have begun pointing out the little fact that Kate is always in sheer hose and closed-toe shoes. Does our Katie have foot issues? Nope. According to The Mail, it's royal protocol to wear hose at all times (when you're wearing a skirt, that is). Naked legs are simply NOT ROYAL.

With her flawless fashion sense, radiant smile and bouncy, glossy locks, it is hard to find fault the Duchess of Cambridge. But a few quiet murmurs from the style set indicate that her look is not being as universally well-received as it seems.

The 29-year-old has not set a foot wrong when it comes to designer frocks, but in almost every single picture, there is the same telltale satin sheen of sheer hosiery. While it is true that nude stockings can hide a multitude of sins, they have not been in vogue since the Eighties and the result is a somewhat ageing look, at odds with her otherwise youthful style. But would Catherine actually be wearing these tights if she weren’t in the public eye? The fact that she is always wearing them, and closed-toe shoes for that matter, indicate that she is simply adhering to Royal protocol.

Indeed, one will never see the Queen, the Duchess of Cornwall or the Countess of Wessex without sheer stockings and closed-toe shoes. Even fashion-conscious Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie comply.

And when Tom Hanks’ wife Rita Wilson described the dress code for a recent white tie event at Buckingham Palace, the rules were the same. She told Harper’s Bazaar: ‘The palace dress requirements say that women… must wear closed-toed shoes - and get this: stockings! Sheer disbelief - I don’t even own a pair of sheer hose.’

[From The Mail]

That's one of those protocols that could stand to be broken a few times, especially in the summer months. And it's just absurd to never wear open-toed shoes! What the hell?

Linnocent covers Vanity Fair Italia: “I never hurt anyone but myself”

Posted: 06 Jul 2011 06:23 AM PDT

Linnocent is the cover girl for the August issue of Vanity Fair Italia. I'm praying that this is the only Vanity Fair cover that she's got coming in the near and the distant future, but I'm starting to get an itchy feeling that the crackhead will also be covering the September issue of the American VF. Would you like a joke? Before I turned on the Google Chrome translator to find out what Linnocent was saying, my eye caught this headline: "Lindsay Lohan: Che male ho fatto?" I know it's Italian and everything, but I would like to think they're calling Linnocent a fat she-male ho.

As far as the photo shoot goes… I'm loathe to use this terminology, but it just seems utterly appropriate for Linnocent: she looks like trailer trash. The white-blonde hair, the skimpy, cheap looking costumes, the frosted pink lipstick, the wonk eye, the crack lips, the vacant expression, the budget "trying so hard to be sexy" vibe… it's all so trashy.

Now, the interview… no one really great has any decent translations, but if you'd like to attempt the Google Chrome translator, you can try the original Italian article here. Linnocent did this whole thing, photo shoot and interview, while under house arrest. The highlights seem to be: "With her grueling month-long house arrest at an end, Lohan talks about her mistakes and her future, the gun she keeps in her pink fur jacket, the fact that jail is a terrible place and her plans to get back into acting." Wait… what?!? A GUN?! Oh, Jesus. Samantha Ronson's new girlfriend better watch her ass. Someone who speaks Italian, please send in the English translation of the gun quote. Here are some quotes that other sites are carrying:

She's a good actress: “I want to be an actress and I’m good. You learn from your mistakes, right?”

On jail: "Unless you're a killer, I don't see a reason to stay there. I never hurt anyone but myself."

But she's promising to get back on track and return to work in the fall. She told the magazine: "In October, I'll begin work. I hope to spend next year on set."

[From Various Sources]

WTF? "Unless you're a killer, I don't see a reason to stay there. I never hurt anyone but myself." Like the time she hijacked a car, ran over a guy’s foot, kidnapped two of his friends, and endangered countless others by driving all drunk and coked out of her skull? Like the time she CLIPPED A BABY? Like all the crap she's stolen over the years - millions of dollars worth of jewelry, clothing and God knows what? Like the time she beat the hell out of a rehab employee? All of it, VICTIMLESS CRIMES, according to Linnocent. And THAT is why I will never believe that she's turned over a new leaf. She's just a narcissistic a–hole who never accept responsibility, EVER. Unfortunately, she won't really be punished until she actually does kill somebody.

UPDATE: Thanks to all of the Italian-speakers for the translation on the gun quote. Here’s what Linnocent says, in a nutshell:

She brings out a pink fur jacket and a gun: 'I've got a permit to carry a firearm, but it's not loaded, I keep it in the house in case someone tries to get in.'

You know the pink fur jacket, right? That’s the coat that she’s wearing in those cracked-out, busted photos I always use. Viva la Linnocent!

Are Peter Facinelli and Jennie Garth separated?

Posted: 06 Jul 2011 06:22 AM PDT

I was just telling my mom that Peter Facinelli and Jennie Garth have been married for over ten years. She’s a big Nurse Jackie fan and was recommending him for Hot Guy Friday. He’s not really my cup of tea, particularly as that strange-looking doctor vampire on Twilight. (Why did they have to dye his hair blonde? He just looks freaky that way.) I get Peter’s appeal though, and there are surely plenty of other women who would jump at the chance. If Perez Hilton is to be believed, Facinelli (and Garth) admirers may have their opportunity now that the couple is separated. They’re supposedly living apart. They were married in January, 2001 and have three daughters together: Luca, 14, Lola, 8, and Fiona, who turns five in September. Here’s the story from Perez:

Sources close to the couple reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that Twilight star Peter Facinelli and 90210 alum Jennie Garth are currently on a “break”.
The pair, who have been married since 2001, are currently living apart, insiders tell us.

“Jennie is living in the family home in Toluca Lake and Peter has been renting a home in Santa Ynez,” according to our source. “It’s not looking good!”
Insiders insist that no third party is involved, but divorce is looking like the final outcome.

[From Perez Hilton]

That’s sad for their family. I’ve heard too many stories lately about couples not being able to work it out.

Back in November, 2008, Jennie said that divorce was not an option and seemed to hint that she was having problems in the marriage:
“In this industry, there's always going to be someone more beautiful out there. It's easy to be tempted. I'm not interested in taking the easy way out. Divorce is not an option for us. I want to be with my family.”

Jennie also said back then that she wanted more kids, but implied that Peter wasn’t on board. She joked “Will you talk to my husband for me please? I want to have a baby or adopt. My body keeps telling me to have babies.”

So it sounds like these two have been having problems for a while, and are disagreeing about whether they should have more kids. I hope that this report is wrong though. They seemed so solid. These photos are from May and June of 2010. A lot can change in a year.

Prince Albert is trying to “persuade” Charlene to “stay in the marriage”

Posted: 06 Jul 2011 06:20 AM PDT

Last we heard, the French papers were still doing a post-mortem on how badly everything was going for Prince Albert and Charlene Wittstock. The claims over the weekend involved: Charlene Wittstock trying to escape, physically escape, the engagement and Monaco three different times. Once, she even made it to the South African embassy in Paris, I think. The last "escape" attempt involved palace officials confiscating her passport just days before the wedding was supposed to go through. Oh, and now we might have the instigator for all of this drama: Prince Albert likely fathered yet another kid, this one while he was technically "with" Charlene. The palace official claimed that Charlene's first "royal duty" was going to be standing by her new husband's side for the paternity test… on her honeymoon. Ridiculous. If that didn't take the cake, there are now new reports that Albert is doing everything he can to ensure that Charlene doesn't try to do a runner on the marriage - suffice to say, their honeymoon isn't going well. At least they're in South Africa - you can see pretty photos of their honeymoon resort here. Basically, Albert seems to be telling her that if she just provides him with a legal heir, after that, she can do whatever she wants.

Prince Albert of Monaco is set to use a £4,600-a-night hotel suite to try to ‘persuade’ his new bride that their marriage can work. It follows at least three alleged attempts by Princess Charlene to escape from the principality over the past year, right up until their £55million wedding last weekend.

She is said to be dreading the results of DNA tests, which may show that Albert has fathered at least one other illegitimate child to add to the two he already has with two other women. But now the 53-year-old Prince is believed to be taking the 33-year-old former Olympic swimmer on a massively expensive honeymoon in her home country of South Africa.

Sources in Monaco say they will book into the Oyster Box Hotel in Umhlanga, which is on the Indian Ocean. It is less than half-an-hour’s drive from Durban, where Charlene used to train, and often enjoyed by newlyweds.

Its website reads: ‘Constructed in 1869 and originally used as a navigational beacon, a beach cottage known as the “Oyster Box” was first converted into a hotel in the 1930s.’

Albert, who is a billionaire, is believed to have booked the Presidential Suite, which is set on two floors and includes an ornate-leafed bed, its own swimming pool and a freestanding marble bath overlooking the Indian Ocean. The suite, which has its own terrace overlooking the sea and a private dining area which can seat ten, is priced at £4,600 a night.

On Thursday, the royal couple are also expected to attend an International Olympic Committee banquet in their honour at the hotel.

A senior Palace source in Monte Carlo said: ‘It’s a perfect place for a pair of newlyweds, and may well be all that Charlene needs to make her feel certain that marrying Albert was exactly the right thing to do. William took Catherine to a very expensive beach resort for their honeymoon following the British Royal Wedding, so why not Albert and Charlene?’

Results of the DNA tests are unlikely to be released during the couple’s South Africa honeymoon, and this is because Charlene could refuse to return to Monaco if they point towards Albert having been unfaithful, the source admitted.

Sources said the Monaco palace had hoped the glitzy wedding - attended by a host of celebrities and European royalty - would ‘overshadow’ new claims about secret children fathered by Albert. Instead, Charlene was in floods of tears at one point, while her husband looked on impassively.

If an ‘arrangement’ has been reached it may be that Charlene’s principal aim will be to produce a legitimate heir for Albert in return for a multi-millionaire lifestyle.

Albert has a six-year-old son named Alexandre through Togolese former air hostess Nicole Coste, and a 19-year-old daughter, Jazmin, with Tamara Rotolo, an American estate agent.

Despite confirmation of the DNA tests, Charlene’s father, photocopier salesman Mike Wittstock said: ‘I am so disappointed that people believe this nonsense’. Describing the joy he felt at his only daughter marrying a multi-millionaire Prince, he added: ‘It feels as if we’ve just won the World Cup.’

[From The Mail]

Poor Charlene. Do you think she would actually go through with an annulment? If she doesn't move fast, I suspect she's going to be stuck. If she stays and tries to stick it out, what are her options? Vanity Fair has a good piece on what she should be doing - practical stuff for the modern princess, like "make nice with the press" and "get your own team in place."

Meanwhile, a lot of you were talking about this post from Lainey a few days ago - Lainey put up this video, below, of Charlene sobbing during the wedding.

Many people criticized Albert for looking like a jackass by not being more affectionate or concerned for his new bride as she has a kind of breakdown. I don't know, though… I think he was just trying to get her to put on her professional face - this is a business transaction to him. I'm not saying he's right or anything, I'm just saying that I understand his perspective - which is, she messed up a public appearance in which stoicism and professionalism are key. This poor girl - I'm feeling more and more that she was chosen as his bride because she was seen as an "empty vessel," a piece of fluff to simply provide an heir and keep her mouth shut. With all of the stretching and reaching to find a way to compare Kate Middleton to Princess Diana, HERE is your comparison - Charlene finds herself in a remarkably similar position as Diana did. Let's hope Charlene rallies like Diana.

Jessica Biel & Justin Timberlake are giving it another try?

Posted: 06 Jul 2011 05:58 AM PDT

LaineyGossip had this yesterday, and now it's being confirmed by Us Weekly - Justin Timberlake was in Canada, visiting Jessica Biel over the holiday, and now sources claim that they're back on. I just don't get it… WTF? Justin Timberlake cheated on Jessica Biel constantly, and Biel was seemingly powerless and weak in the relationship. It's believed that JT did the dumping too - so why did he go back? And why did Jessica Biel TAKE him back? Ugh.

Breakup to makeup! Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel might have broken up in March, but a source tells the new Us Weekly (on stands Wednesday) their 4-year-romance hasn’t fizzled out just yet.

Timberlake, 30, and Biel, 29, are “quietly seeing each other again,” says a source. “They have been talking the whole time and decided to give it another shot. Jessica really wanted to get back together with him and Justin realized single life is not what it’s cracked up to be.”

On July 3, the couple shared pork tacos at the Black Hoof restaurant in Toronto. But another insider cautions reconciliation won’t be easy and adds that for now, “they’re just spending time together and taking things slowly.”

[From Us Weekly]

So… I have some theories. One theory has Justin Timberlake being one of Those Guys - the guys who don't know what to do with themselves unless they have an official girlfriend. I've known lots of those guys, and while they're not bad people, just because they have an official girlfriend, doesn't mean they're committed. I think JT dumped Biel because he wanted a new official girlfriend, and some of the ladies he had his eye on weren't interested (Mila Kunis, anyone?). I do think Olivia Munn probably would have loved to be JT's Official GF, but if given the choice between going back to Biel and trying something new with Olivia, I might have chosen Biel too.

Also: I get the feeling that Jessica Biel's boyfriend hustle didn't go the way she and her publicist thought it would. She thought Gerard Butler would play along - Gerry NEVER plays along. And maybe Colin Farrell is giving Biel the brush off too - so going back to JT might be Biel's best possible option for the moment.

Jennifer Aniston is taking a year off, if you wondered why she’s not in another romcom

Posted: 06 Jul 2011 05:54 AM PDT

Cue the adoption and pregnancy rumors, Jennifer Aniston just announced through a “source,” aka her publicist, that she’s taking a year off work starting this fall. Doesn’t it seem like celebrity actors make this announcement whenever they have some unplanned-for down time, and then reneg once a half decent project comes along? I predict a similar outcome for Aniston.

There are a few of things that I took away from this brief article. 1. Aniston wants us to know how happy she is, as usual. 2. Her people want us to think she’s planned the fact that she isn’t in another romcom right after her Horrible Bosses gig. And 3. it’s clear that US has been running publicist-planted stories from her camp for some time. I mean, we didn’t need even more confirmation of that, but it’s just painfully obvious now. (Revisit some of their past articles trumpeting her new relationship and fabulous lifestyle.)

So Aniston meant to do this with her career, and Huvane is giving us the heads up on it. (Note: Kaiser just reminded me after I wrote all this that this blurb was in last week’s US Weekly print edition and we mentioned it in an earlier post. Everyone was focusing on the potential cheating/homewrecking angle so I’d rather run this article though and not scrap it.)

Jennifer Aniston is turning love into a full-time job!

“Jen’s taking a year off from work to enjoy herself,” an Aniston insider tells the current issue of Us Weekly (out now).

Indeed, a second source familiar with her schedule confirms that after Horrible Bosses and the October release of Wanderlust, the only thing on her plate is developing The Goree Girls, her production company’s years-old project about singers in a women’s prison.

And guess who she’s picked to juice up the script? “She wants to collaborate with [Justin Theroux],” a source says of Aniston’s latest beau, who won screenwriter cred with Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2.

“She’s impressed by his ability to find humor in dry material,” the source tells Us.

I just want Aniston’s team to stop hitting us over the head. She happy and in love, we get it, and they don’t want the public to forget about her. Maybe they’re also hoping that all this news will help advance her projects within the industry as well. Goree Girls was announced in the summer of 2009 and filming was supposed to take place in January of 2010, but it was supposedly delayed so that Aniston could film Just Go With It. Now she’s done yet another movie and has all this down time where nothing is scheduled. It seems like the project is on hold indefinitely for some reason. IMDB has the release date for Goree Girls listed as 2013.
