Selma Blair talks about postpartum hair loss: “Selma’s going to be bald!” Posted: 02 Dec 2011 09:39 AM PST Selma Blair is looking very Neve Campbell these days, isn't she? That's not a criticism or anything, I've just never noticed before how much Selma and Neve look alike, especially when Selma's face is a little bit fuller. Selma's face is looking different these days because she gave birth to her son, Arthur Saint, over the summer, and according to Selma, she still hasn't lost the baby weight. I kind of like her with some extra pounds, though. Anyway, apparently her weight isn't the only thing on Selma's mind. She gave a new interview to People Magazine where she discusses her postpartum hair loss. Hey, moms – does that really happen? Reason #bajillion for me to not have a baby. Selma Blair wants to keep it real. Just like all new moms, she's experiencing the joys — and also the pains — of the hormonal changes that come in the first few months following childbirth. "This is so not glamorous, but it's true: I need to take longer showers so that I can collect the hair that falls out and throw it away so I don't clog the drain. Why do actresses never talk about that?" she tells PEOPLE with a laugh before the Nov. 12 launch party for Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Mini for Target collaboration. "It just started falling out at the three-month mark," laments the actress, 39, whose son Arthur Saint is now four months old. "And I'm not a girl who likes extensions, so Selma's going to be bald!" All shedding aside, Blair is relishing her son's latest milestones. "He rolls over now," she says of her baby boy with fashion designer beau Jason Bleick, "and he got a bouncy toy! It's like the biggest moment of your life: 'Oh my gosh, I get 10 minutes free now!'" "Before, he had a playmat, Mommy or Daddy or now a nanny that comes for a few hours in the daytime, to hold him. But now, autonomy! He got a Fisher-Price Jumperoo — I wish I had one for every room!" So what does Blair try to do in that 10-minute window of freedom? There's only one thing, of course: "Shower!" [From People] Obviously, I knew that while pregnant, women's hair will be thicker and more lustrous. But I guess I didn't think about what happens after you give birth. According to the scary pregnancy site I just visited, around three to six month after giving birth, many women experience hair loss and sometimes the hair comes out in clumps?!? Yikes. Apparently, everything goes back to normal about a year later, though, and one of the suggestions to ladies experiencing hair loss is to continue taking prenatal vitamins. Or, you know, you could just ask to borrow one of John Travolta's wiglets. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Jennifer Lopez’s mom won’t speak to her now that she’s dating baby doucheface Posted: 02 Dec 2011 09:32 AM PST You know how everyone is like “what is she thinking?” when they see photos of Jennifer Lopez with her new piece, 24 year-old backup dancer, Casper Smart? As Kaiser mentioned in an earlier story, it would make sense if the guy was attractive, but he just looks so… douchey. I know we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, etc., but come on. If you saw this guy in person would you assume that he had a ton of redeeming qualities beyond his physique? Anyway J.Lo’s mother, Guadalupe, apparently shares the public’s sentiment about her daughter’s new boyfriend. Guadalupe is close with her daughter and has lived with her on Long Island so she can watch her grandchildren, Lopez’s three year-old twins with her ex, Marc Anthony. Lopez’s mom is pissed that her daughter is exposing the kids to a new father figure so soon. Lopez went on a Hawaiian vacation with Smart and her twins over Thanksgiving, and outlets reported how great he was with her kids. This new romance does not sit well with Guadalupe, who won’t even speak with her daughter at this point. (If this Star story is accurate.) A source close to the singer… tells Star that Guadalupe is “devastated” over Jen dating such a young man so soon after her split from Marc – and she’s cut off contact with her A-list daughter! “Guadalupe has become very upset with what she says is Jennifer’s poor judgment,” reveals an insider. “They’re not on speaking terms at the moment.” More than anything, Guadalupe – who has been a caretaker for Jen’s 3 year-old twins… is upset about J.Lo flaunting the fling in front of her children. “The kids are struggling to understand what’s happened with their father and mother,” the source says. “Then, all of a sudden, there is a new father figure in their life.” [From Star Magazine, print edition, December 12, 2011] It looks like Lopez got the message, sort of. She left her kids at home when she jetted to Morocco with Smart yesterday, where she’s performing at the opening of a mall for an undoubtedly hefty fee. People has this news along with a quote from an “insider” that “Casper is with her, but she left the kids in L.A. Jennifer is expected back in L.A. before she heads to Peru with her kids for work.” She won’t talk about her dating life “directly”, and told Ryan Secrest, that “Until I’m in a really serious relationship – because of the babies – I’m not really gonna be commenting on my personal life.” She has no problem posing for plenty of paparazzi pics with the guy and giving quotes to People off the record, though. I wouldn’t be surprised if her mom is fed up with it and worried about her grandbabies. Header photo from 7-9-11. Other event photos from 11-20-11. Credit: WENN

Anne Hathaway to Jessica Biel: Stop comparing our careers and STFU Posted: 02 Dec 2011 08:34 AM PST Every week, I read almost all of the tabloids, but it's a rare occasion when I read one tabloid story that makes me sit up and scream "YES!" This is one of those occasions – and this might be one of my favorite stories of the year. First, some backstory. Jessica Biel was the cover girl for the December issue of Elle Magazine, and her Elle cover profile and interview was ROUGH. Personally, I thought she sounded delusional and pathetic – the entire interview was about all of these films that Biel auditions for and never gets, and while I admired her "nothing ventured, nothing gained" mentality, at some point, Biel becomes a joke. You should really just go read my post on it – I was one of the few people that excerpted big chunks of the interview anyway. Here are the two quotes that are relevant to the story: Biel on auditioning for Catwoman in the new Batman film: "Another one that got away. I was gutted. I mean, to work with Christopher Nolan in that kind of role?" Biel on the last time she felt terrified: "I felt terrified when I was auditioning for Les Miserables, the movie that Tom Hooper is doing. I was terrified to sing in front of him. I auditioned for Fantine, and I sang "I Dreamed a Dream." I didn't get it. I would have loved it." [Via Elle Magazine] Biel doesn't name-check Anne Hathaway specifically, but those are two parts that went to Anne, and obviously, Jessica Biel thinks she's on the same "level," career-wise, with Anne. Do I even have to explain the "BITCH PLEASE" of that? Even for those people who don't care for Anne as a person, please admit that Anne is one of the better actresses of her generation, and at the very least, Anne is a far superior actress than Jessica Biel. Anyway, this Enquirer story is all about Anne being super-pissed at Biel's Elle interview, and Anne allegedly calling Biel out in private: Anne Hathaway and Jessica Biel are embroiled in a bitter catfight – over who's a better actress! Jessica was reportedly resentful after losing out on Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises, as well as a role in Les Miserables – both roles that went to Anne Hathaway. In a recent interview, Jessica insinuated that she and Anne were in competition for the same choice parts. The comparison infuriated Anne, and she got word back to Jessica to "quit complaining" and accept that she's "not in the same league when it comes to acting," divulged an insider. "In truth, Anne feels she's a true leading lady who has been nominated for Academy Awards and Golden Globes, while Jessica's movie career doesn't even compare," the insider explained. "In her opinion, Jessica is known for her TV role on 7th Heaven and blockbuster-type movies like The A-Team that show a limited acting range. And not only does Anne feel she's superior on-screen, she also believes that Jessica showed a lack of professionalism by even making the comparison in the first place!" "Anne thinks Jessica had an ulterior motive by making it seem like she was stealing roles right out from under her," added the insider. "She sees Jessica's move as premeditated, designed to make casting directors place them on the same level – and possibly to coax them into hiring her over Anne, who makes more per film and is in greater demand. Now Anne's ready to take this fight to the next level. Anne let Jessica know that if she does another interview with a writing, casting director or director equating the two, she wants a face-to-face meeting. And everyone's waiting for more fur to fly." [From The Enquirer, print edition] "She sees Jessica's move as premeditated, designed to make casting directors place them on the same level – and possibly to coax them into hiring her over Anne…" I could see that. I think that in Biel's mind, if she keeps telling people in interview after interview that she's auditioning for all of these great parts and that she'll do ANYTHING for a great role, that maybe, someday, she'll get her chance. But if Anne is even deigning to shove a "bitch, please" in Biel's face, that's also a win for Biel. Anne acknowledged her – Anne must be threatened! VICTORY. The only way Anne could really win is if she’s asked about Biel and she replied, “Who?” Photos courtesy of Fame & WENN.

Star: Katy Perry and Russell Brand beg Rihanna to get therapy and stop boozing Posted: 02 Dec 2011 08:19 AM PST Before we get to the main part of this story, I wanted to quickly cover Russell Brand’s appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” His spot hasn’t been televised yet (and should air at some point today, depending on your time zone), but we got a heads up on his interview. Again, the timing here is suspect because Russell doesn’t have any films coming out until next June (Rock of Ages), nor is he promoting another Booky Wook or whatever he calls his tomes. The only thing that he could possibly be pushing on “Ellen” would be his marriage, and from the excerpts that we’ve been given, that’s exactly what’s happening: Ellen: There is a rumor that you and Katy split up. Russell: What? She should’ve told me. Yeah, there are always rumors aren't there. In the end you have to just not engage with Internet technology, which is difficult because a lot of the nude women websites I quite enjoy (laughing.) But they’ve had to go. I’ve treated the whole Internet now like it’s a wicked little liar. Yeah. I am really happily married. Ellen: Did you hear that rumor? Russell: Yeah, I heard that rumor because you know if your job is to be on Telly and show off somebody will go there’s a rumor. Like someone that works with you. It’s called publicity or PR.There is a rumor. What is it? You've split up. Oh, no. Am I enjoying? Yes. Where am I now? You’re here. Good, good. Well, just keep me informed. Being famous is like a little bit of you is taken away and goes off and lives on it’s own and does what it wants. I wish it would do more interesting things…. Ellen: So, it’s not true? Russell: Well, I don’t know what he's doing. The other me but I’m married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I’m still alive. [From The Ellen DeGeneres Show] Honestly, is this talk show appearance necessary? Russell seems to think himself clever by remarking on PR when he himself (in his terms, both Russells) are a very willing part of the recent publicity blitz aimed at convincing everyone that he and Katy are so happy. Do they really need tattoos, tweets, and a People article to convince themselves that they are in love? That’s what it feels like. Now onto a story in this week’s issue of Star, which professes that Katy Perry is very worried about her BFF, Rihanna, who has reportedly been drowning her Chris Brown-related sorrows in 100 bottles of beer. Naturally, Star uses a few photos from Rihanna’s liquor-soaked vacation to Barbados in August, during which time she starred as the drunken stripper queen for Kadooment Day: I agree with Kaiser’s previous assessment that RiRi was probably just kicking back and enjoying herself like a typical single twentysomething on vacation, who just happened to be letting loose before an international tour. Then in October, Rihanna was hospitalized with the flu in October and forced to cancel a show, and Star makes it sound like the illness was entirely alcohol-related: Following Rihanna’s recent hospital visit, “Katy told her she has to slow down,” a source says, adding that Katy even suggested her BFF come stay at her home. Katy Perry’s desperate to get gal pal Rihanna into treatment following the “We Found Love” singer’s dramatic hospitalization in Malmo, Sweden on Oct. 31. “Katy begged Rihanna to take some time off and get therapy,” a source says. “Rihanna’s been running on empty. And rather than resting, she’s drinking and clubbing until the early hours of the morning.” While the Bajan-born pop star may seem like she’s flying high, Katy knows all too well how down her BFF really is — and worries that Rihanna’s still struggling with her failed raltionship with Chris Brown. “Rihanna’s been self-medicating with booze ever since their split, and it’s not getting better,” the source says. “She calls Katy in tears, saying how down she is and that her life’s controlled by her label. She just wants a loving boyfriend. ” Katy, 27, can certainly understand the pressure RiRi is under — constant jet-lag, strenuous shows and nonstop photo ops. But Rihanna seems to be sinking under the stress, and even Katy’s husband Russell Brand, a recovering addict himself, has expressed concern. “He told Katy that she had to step in because Rihanna is on a very slippery slope,” continues the source. So far, Rihann, 23, seems receptive to her friends’ intervention. “She’s touched that they want to help, and she agrees that she must stop,” says the source. “She doesn’t want to be the next Amy Winehouse.” [From Star, print edition, December 12, 2011] This story seems like a real stretch based upon the cancellation of one concert. I am inclined to believe that, at times, Rihanna might feel too controlled by her label and feel the pressures therein, but the Esquire journalist who attended backstage at several of RiRi’s shows stated that Rihanna was very well adjusted and entirely gung-ho about her tour. And by her own admission, Rihanna gets off on playing her role as a sexed-up tart who angers Northern Irish farmers while stripping in their fields. However, the part about Katy (who loves her own liquor) fretting over Rihanna’s boozing sounds ridiculous, and I certainly don’t understand why Russell (who reportedly doesn’t like RiRi hanging with his wife) has suddenly become involved as a concerned party too. Unless this is just more PR (a.k.a., “a united front”) for the happy marriage blitz. As for Rihanna, she’s still on tour as scheduled and showed off a new hairdo/wig in London last night. I’m calling this photo “RiRi does Anna Wintour with a robot gimp”: Photos courtesy of Fame and Ellen

Brad Pitt gives a pep talk to an emotional, suicidal man at a ‘Moneyball’ screening Posted: 02 Dec 2011 08:13 AM PST This week's tabloids are full of bizarre and negative stories about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. I was going to cover some of them, but then I saw this bizarre story of something that actually happened to Brad. According to Us Weekly, while Brad and Jonah Hill were doing a screening of Moneyball this past weekend, a "distraught" man confessed to suicidal thoughts during the Q&A session. Brad Pitt was a real pal to a stranger in need on Sunday. Following a special screening of Moneyball at the Cary Grant Theatre in Culver City, Calif. on Sunday, the star, 47, encountered a distraught man during a Q&A session with hundreds of fans. According to an attendee, a 30-something struggling actor announced to Pitt, costar Jonah Hill and the crowd that he was battling suicidal thoughts alone in his car before the night’s event– but the film gave him “a renewed sense of hope.” (In the acclaimed film, Pitt plays real-life Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, who built a champion team using computer-generated analysis to draft its player.) “It was a really awkward moment,” the attendee tells Us, adding that the actor got “choked up” as he revealed his battles to the crowd. But Pitt didn’t flinch, the witness says. “He said, ‘Look, man, life is up and down, it’s a vicious cycle, but you have to go through it and deal with that,’” the observer reveals. The father of six and longtime love to Angelina Jolie continued in his pep talk: “‘You can be down, but then you come back up again, and every failure can lead to success.’” “It was a touching moment,” adds a second observer. “As he left the theatre he even stopped to talk with the guy to offer him some more words of encouragement because he was obviously fragile.” Marvels the first witness: “Brad handled the situation really well in front of several hundred people — it was a difficult moment that shocked everyone.” If you think you or a loved one are in an emotional or suicidal crisis, visit the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline online, or call 800.273.TALK. [From Us Weekly] I do think Brad handled it well. What are you supposed to do when a stranger lays down that kind of emotional confession at your feet? Hopefully the pep talk helped that dude. Should we move on to less weighty subject matter? The Enquirer has a rough story about Brad and the uncool Bermuda Triangle plus Chelsea Handler. I was going to ignore this story, but I've seen other versions of this, and it's a blind item too, so I'm wondering if there isn't a kernel of truth to it. Here's the basic gist: Brad backed out of a TV interview with Chelsea Handler after both Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston blew a gasket. "Talk about bad choices," said an insider. "Brad really got raked over the coals by Angie and Jen. For Brad, it's all business. He just wanted to promote his movies." But Angelina is still harboring a lot of resentment towards Chelsea Handler after Chelsea's profanity-laced rant in New Jersey last December. Brad also got an earful from Jennifer, who was livid that he was trying to buddy up to Chelsea, one of her closet friends. "Brad had to beg off the invite with the lame excuse that he couldn't make it due to 'film commitments,'" said the insider. [From The Enquirer, print edition] What is more unlikely, that Chelsea Handler would agree to have Pitt on her show, or that Brad would agree to appear on Chelsea Lately? I don't know – I think they're both unlikely. The kernel of truth might have been that the studio booked Brad on some television shows, and Chelsea Lately might have been one of the shows in contention, but nothing came of it. Plus, there's the CAA connection – Chelsea is with CAA now, and Brad has been with CAA for a while. I think Brad is hustling for an Oscar, but I doubt he would chat with Chelsea for his campaign… right? Photos courtesy of WENN.

Michelle Trachtenberg claims she was up for the Bella Swan role in Twilight Posted: 02 Dec 2011 08:10 AM PST What are the general thoughts on Michelle Trachtenberg? I think she's a pretty little thing, but I don't have an opinion on her talent or her personality. She seems kind of bland to me, but then again, I was never into Buffy. I've never gotten the needy-famewhore vibe off of her, and she doesn't seem to be one of those hyper-ambitious girls just dying to see her name in the press. So this new interview with Michelle seems out of character. Michelle drops this bombshell: she was up for the role in Bella Swan in Twilight. Can you feel the Twihard Fatwa coming down on Michelle? I can. Michelle Trachtenberg was a vampire slayer’s little sister on Buffy, and she could’ve fallen in love with a creature of the night on the silver screen, too! The 26-year-old actress told Us Weekly Wednesday at the opening of LOLA in NYC that she was indeed considered for a role in the Twilight films. “There was definitely interest here and there because there’s only so few pale girls in Hollywood,” she explained. “I’ve known [director] Catherine Hardwicke since the movie Thirteen,” she said. “I was actually supposed to star in that, but I was on Buffy at the time.” (Hardwicke, who went on to directed the very first Twilight film in 2009, directed the saga’s star Nikki Reed in the 2003 drama and Evan Rachel Wood played the film’s primary character. Reed cowrote the gritty screenplay.) So why did Reed, Kristen Stewart and Ashley Greene end up as Breaking Dawn’s leading ladies instead of Trachtenberg? “I guess schedules never worked out,” she explained. “I already have Buffy,” she added. “I’ve already done the vampire thing.” But the Gossip Girl star doesn’t want to speculate how her life would be different if she’d starred opposite Robert Pattinson in the blockbuster films. “[Hypothetical answers mean] you’re not living in the moment and you’re looking negatively at what you’re doing now,” she mused. [From Us Weekly] I've read way too much about Twilight, but I've never heard anything about this. I thought the casting story went like this: Catherine Hardwicke's first choice for Bella was always Kristen Stewart (who at that point was fresh off of Into the Wild, which got her a lot of attention) – Kristen was offered the part and she said yes immediately. All of the casting drama was with Edward, and it took months for Robert Pattinson to be cast. Isn't that how it went? Or was there a "search" to find the right Bella and several actresses were considered, including Michelle Trachtenberg? Or is all of this just wishful (famewhore) thinking on Michelle's part? And in a parallel universe, what would the world be like if Michelle had been cast as Bella? Would Robert Pattinson have fallen for Michelle instead??! OMG. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Enquirer: Nicole Kidman is an unpleasant diva, nicknamed “ice princess” on set Posted: 02 Dec 2011 08:08 AM PST We’ve heard in the past that Nicole Kidman is not the most pleasant person to work with or for. The 20080 Andrew Morton Tom Cruise book painted her as cold and moody, and described how demanding and particular she could be. He wrote “If the jet wasn’t stocked with Beluga caviar and all the trimmings she appeared deeply irritated, exhibiting a jaded petulance. Nicole often seemed bored or disenchanted with her life as a Hollywood star, expecting a luxurious lifestyle as her birthright. She had no sense of wonderment about the world. So many wonderful things happened to her, but she had an enduring sense of boredom.” Nicole seems to be genuinely happy in her current marriage to Keith Urban and to have taken the stick out of her butt now that she’s a two time mother. If this article is accurate, and it probably is, I’m somewhat surprised to hear that she’s still as much of a pain in the ass as ever. According to a source on set quoted in the Enquirer, Nicole won’t even let crew members talk to her. Nicole Kidman’s shooting her new horror film “Stoker” in Nashville, but crew members swear the real horror is Nicole! Reports [a] backstage spy…”Nicole is a real witch, and they’ve nicknamed her ‘Ice Princess.’ No one’s even allowed to speak to her, except for primary cast members, the director or producers. The other day she requested a glass of water and was furious when the person brought her water with ice in it. ‘I don’t drink ice water,’ Nicole bellowed, demanding a room temperature refill. Everyone’s walking around on eggshells to make sure ‘Her Majesty’ is not displeased.” In another bizarre incident, a prop person moved an umbrella she was using in a scene from one side of a table to the other. When they began to rehearse the scene, Nicole threw a fit over the minor re positioning and read the poor guy the riot act! [From The National Enquirer, print edition, Mike Walker's column, December 12, 2011] Nicole’s career is floundering. The last movie she was in was was that Trespass clunker with Nicolas Cage. So you would think she’d tone it down a little now that she’s no longer a huge star. Not so much, old habits die hard. They’re even filming in her current town and she can’t manage to be civil to the people she relies on. Nicole’s husband, country singer and fellow Aussie Keith Urban, has just signed on to be a judge and mentor on the Australian version of The Voice. Urban lost his own voice temporarily after undergoing surgery for a vocal cord polyp. Polyps are common in singers and Urban is expected to make a complete recovery.

Elisabetta Canalis throws a massive hissy fit, gives boyfriend his purse back Posted: 02 Dec 2011 06:37 AM PST It was just yesterday that I was thinking about how much I missed Elisabetta Canalis's seedy drama. Don't you miss it? Don't you miss the white-washing of her Italian past, which consistently involved the words "cocaine" and "hooker"? Don't you miss Eli's drag-queen vibe and her Adam's apple? Don't you miss her terrible acting and the constant "jobs" that Clooney had to buy for her? Don't you miss the easy chemistry George Clooney and Eli had together? Well, if you answered "yes" to any of those questions, I have a special treat for you. Over the past few months, Eli has been dating Mehcad Brooks, who I basically only know from that USA show, Necessary Roughness. No one was really interested in who Eli is dating post-Clooney, but Eli still managed to famewhore this relationship to anyone who would listen. And now Radar reports that Eli and Mehcad had a spectacular blow-out, complete with an Eli hissy-fit. Has yet another Hollywood romance bitten the dust? The relationship between Italian model Elisabetta Canalis and True Blood star Mehcad Brooks appears to have skidded to an abrupt halt following a spat in the lobby of her West Hollywood apartment building Thursday night, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively. "Elisabetta and Mehcad were in the lobby obviously fighting with each other,” an eyewitness tells RadarOnline.com. “At first they were trying not to call attention to themselves. But after a few minutes they couldn't contain themselves anymore and their voices started to escalate." The eyewitness continued, “They both became so angry, it was like they were oblivious to the fact that they were out in public: At one point, Elisabetta shoved Mehcad really hard, and he shouted right back at her to stop acting crazy. Finally Elisabetta screamed, ‘Just go! Get out of here!’ and stormed up to her apartment. Moments later, she returned to the lobby carrying an armful of things, which included a Balenciaga hand bag.” The 33-year-old stunner, according to eyewitness, then dropped the bag on the desk of the building manager with a message for Mehcad, 31. “She told him, ‘Tell that a**hole to take his s**t and never contact me again' — then, she turned on her heel and stormed off! “To say she was angry would be an understatement! I was really surprised by the whole thing, because I saw her wearing what looked like a wedding ring just last week," the source added. “I thought they were madly in love!” Elisabetta, who appeared on this season’s Dancing with the Stars, is best known for her previous relationship with George Clooney. Besides True Blood, Mehcad has been seen on Desperate Housewives, Law & Order: SVU and the USA network’s Necessary Roughness. [From Radar] Ah, so the Balenciaga hand bag was HIS. Or it was just something he bought for her. I don't know, this sounds like a planted story, but I'm still enjoying it. I hope Eli knows that the relationship with Mehcad did nothing for her fame-seeking ways. Granted, it would have been difficult for Eli to hook another A-lister – Clooney is pretty much the last A-lister with such bargain-basement tastes. But Eli should have gone for a B- or C-lister with a higher profile, maybe someone with well-known sexual kinks. I'm thinking Jeremy Piven? That would be awesome. Photos courtesy of Fame & WENN.

Cate Blanchett in cream, lacy Louis Vuitton: gorgeous or doily-fug? Posted: 02 Dec 2011 06:05 AM PST New Cate Blanchett photos! Hurray! God, do you know how much I miss Cate Blanchett? She's been focusing on her family and her theatre work for SO LONG, and that means we very rarely have new red carpet-fashion photos, new interviews or new movies with Cate. It sucks so hard being Blanchett-less. Anyway, these are new pics of Cate in Sydney, Australia, at the opening of a new Louis Vuitton shop in the city. One of the dudes in the photo is Louis Vuitton’s CEO, Yves Carcelle. Does Cate get paid for these personal appearances? I think she does. This must be how she supplements her income, because I doubt a year of theatre work helps pay the bills. As for how Cate looks – I'm assuming the dress is LV, right? It's pretty. On another woman, it would look like a doily or a hacked up wedding dress. But on Cate, it's lovely. I love her skin and her face. She looks especially ageless in these photos – she's 42 years old right now, but that face never changes. The only film Cate had in theatres this year was Hanna, which I saw and didn't really care for. I looked at her IMDB to see if 2012 would bring us more Cate – she has a part in The Hobbit, a film called Lawless (with Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale and Rooney Mara) and she's attached to another film called Knight of Cups. Someone write La Blanchett a lead role, for the love of God. Photos courtesy of WENN & Fame.

Ryan Gosling thinks Eva Mendes is The One, “plans to settle down with her” Posted: 02 Dec 2011 04:50 AM PST Over the holidays, we (and everyone else) had photos of Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling, looking and acting loved up all over Paris. Well… maybe not so much. Their physical chemistry seemed totally "off" – it could have been because both Eva and Ryan were very aware of the paparazzi. Or it could be that Ryan and Eva aren't so much "loved up" as "in some kind of contractual fauxmance." Here's what I believe: I believe that Gosling is a much bigger dog than most girls like to acknowledge. I believe that Eva has issues, of the substance abuse variety, and of the "all she has to offer is a sexy body without much talent" variety. I don't know what you get when you put that all together, but I'm sure it's not "love". Still, someone is trying to sell us a great romance. According to In Touch, Ryan thinks Eva is "The One". Srsly? While in Paris, "Ryan held her close, and kept leaning in to kiss her," an onlooker tells In Touch of the affectionate couple, who spent the Thanksgiving holiday touring Paris. "He looked so happy and so in love." According to a friend, Ryan is so smitten with his co-star Eva, he's boasting to pals that he's found "The One." "Ryan is telling everyone that he's very serious about Eva," the friend says. "He is head-over-heels and plans to settle down with her." What's the rush? Another pal explains: "Ryan doesn't take dating lightly. He falls in love very deeply." But while most girls would be all too eager to rush down the aisle with the world's hottest bachelor, Eva, who recently split from filmmaker George Augusto after nine years, isn't exactly on the same page as her beau. "Eva really likes Ryan, but she may not be as serious about him as he is about her… he's moving so fast!" [From In Touch Weekly, print edition] I'm working on a theory (in my gossip laboratory) that involves Gosling realizing that being "attached" to so many ladies within the span of a year probably wasn't good for business. After all, he has his Notebook-level heartthrob status to maintain, and he's still got to work on getting more women to see more of his films. So why not take a half a year off from shuffling his latest pieces to Disneyland, and just settle down with one girl – ANY girl – for six months or so? Gosling's appeal to ladies isn't that he seems like a fun one-night-stand – most girls like to fantasize that he's boyfriend material. So maybe that's what this is all about. I don't know, it's just a theory. Because if you're asking me to believe that Ryan Gosling is thinking about how much he wants to marry Eva Mendes… well, I'm not buying it. Photos courtesy of WENN.
