Brad Pitt on his kids’ favorite activities, he loves ‘iCarly’: “I know every episode” Posted: 24 Jan 2012 09:02 AM PST You know it’s a crazy day around here when I’m writing about Brangelina, right? Poor Kaiser is still sick, so you’re stuck with me, and while I don’t anticipate any Bermuda Triangle angles on this story, well, you never know. At any rate, yesterday’s links pointed everyone towards Angelina’s bizarre farmer’s market outfit as she hangs with the kids following many required adult-oriented outings to various awards shows. Many of you commented on the unflattering manner in which Angelina was dressed; and while I too would love to see Angelina rock a pair of jeans, she’s probably just grateful to dress comfortably in her own way again. Since Brad is now up for an Oscar for his role in Moneyball, I expect she’ll be meeting with designers soon to get all dolled up again, so we have that to look forward to in the near future. As for Brad, he’s still on publicity duty for the time being, and he’s talked to People about what his family does to spend time together while hanging out at home (wherever that might be at any given moment). Mainly, Brad loves watching “iCarly” with his kids. I wonder if tosses down the cane and engages in the show’s special random dancing along with his kids? I bet he does: Hollywood’s awards season is a time of relative calm for the Jolie-Pitt family. Oscar-nominee Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie can celebrate their films — and the reaction to them — and also kick back with the kids. On the latter score, Pitt says, the children have certain favorite activities — both at home and on outings. “A lot of it, for us, is family,” the actor, 48, told PEOPLE Sunday at the Producers Guild Awards in Beverly Hills. “Just breaking away and getting to take the kids to Benihana’s or something.” And what about when they’re lounging around the house? “iCarly,” says Pitt. “iCarly is big in our house. It is. I know every episode.” Pitt also offered an update on his injured knee, saying he’s “got the brace for another month” but should be in the clear after that. Otherwise, he says, awards season is a nice time to reflect on their work — he received raves for acting in Moneyball and Jolie was honored with the Stanley Kramer Award for her work on In the Land of Blood and Honey, which she directed. “I’m so happy that the films are appreciated. That’s what this has been about for me,” said Pitt. “We get to catch up with people we haven’t seen in a while, old friends. And that’s a nice thing. I consider it part of the job.” [From People] You know, it sounds like Brad and Angelina only really spend quality time with other adults during award season, so I’m sure they look forward to that more than they’d like to admit. Otherwise, they’re essentially family people who bury themselves within the depth that is children’s television programming. CB reminded me that Angelina got the kids ready for twin siblings by watching “Dora the Explorer,” and more specifically, the episode where Dora’s mom gives birth to twins. Well, Dora’s pretty alright, but I’m more of a “Go, Diego, Go!” kind of girl myself. After all, Baby Jaguar is the sh-t. “Rowrr, rowrr!” Photos courtesy of Fame

Demi Moore attached to yet another young(?) guy: fake story or what is she thinking? Posted: 24 Jan 2012 08:40 AM PST I’ve given up feeling at all sorry for Demi Moore and am instead kind of baffled. She keeps pushing this “hot” image when it’s clear that she’s frail and feeling understandably hurt after her husband so publicly cheated on her. As Kaiser has mentioned, Demi should be trying to present an image of a “confident, capable woman of means and maturity,” only she’s not that person and she’s going to go hunting for another dude to make her feel hot again. Her PR people are going to tell us about it too. The last we heard about 49 year-old Demi’s lovelife she was spotted out with a 26 year-old model/personal trainer. I was hoping the guy was just training Demi, but she was seen going to his car outside a Rite Aid, which proves nothing I guess. Well now Demi has been linked to some idiot musician of indeterminate age, with a source claiming that she’s “getting very close to him” and that he “wants to get her to record a track with him.” The “source” also touts how “hot” Demi is, which we’ve heard many times before from anonymous “sources” who spot her out and note how “hot” she is. Has Demi Moore moved on to a hot new cub? That’s the word in music circles, where the soon-to-be ex-Mrs. Kutcher is rumored to be texting up a storm with hot Canadian musician Ricky J. “Demi and Ricky have been getting very flirty recently,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “Ricky thinks she’s really hot, and Demi seems to be loving the attention.” Ricky, best known for his hit single, No Means No, is currently in Los Angeles and working on getting a date with the 49-year-old gorgeous actress, and not just for social reasons. “Ricky wants to get her to record a track with him,” the source says. “Demi has actually got a great voice, and it helps that she is super, super hot too!” [From Radar Online] Here’s what I’m hoping is the origin of this story: this terrible rapper “Ricky J” wants some publicity and is releasing this completely fake story to Radar Online about a non-existent texting relationship with Demi Moore. The reason I think it’s a fake story is because Ricky J. is old enough not to be a “cub” to Demi, but instead they use an old photo of him and never mention how old he is. Given J.Lo’s latest boyfriend, I wouldn’t be surprised if Demi likes this guy, though. She’s gone through some rough times and she needs someone to tell her she’s “hot” and “gorgeous.” Just getting the press to repeat it over and over isn’t enough for her. Look at the video for this douche’s “hit single”, “No Means No,” it’s incredibly bad. Commenters are calling it the “date rape national anthem.” This song came out in 2001 and he looks at least 20, so he’s at least 30 something now. That’s an improvement for Demi. After I wrote all that I found these photos of the guy out on 1-14-12. He definitely looks mid to late 30s. Here’s a link to his website where I found his latest cheesy as hell video, “Waitin 4 You.” (Below.) 10 to one that someone comes here within a few hours to defend the guy and write about how awesome he is. Demi is shown at a Cinema for Peace event with Rumer on 1-14-12. Credit: WENN.com. Ricky J photos credit: PRPhotos

Victoria Beckham wants to dress Tilda Swinton: possible or dream on? Posted: 24 Jan 2012 08:05 AM PST Victoria Beckham covers the March issue of Numero Tokyo in what I feel is basically a move to show off how skinny she is since giving birth to Harper Seven last July. Yes, she looks good if you’re into the toothpick look. The excerpts for the accompanying interview thus far are scant but give a bit of insight into the mind behind the image. Victoria really is all image, isn’t she? On Her Dream Fashion Show Front Row: “My husband. David has never been to any of my shows as I’m incredibly nervous and I need to focus and concentrate, apart from him Tilda Swinton. She’s so striking and I would love to dress her. She’s incredible looking and I love that she seems so confident in herself she doesn’t feel the need to conform.” On Her Future In Fashion: “We are researching retail and e-commerce opportunities as the moment. I rarely get chance to go out shopping, everything I do is online and I believe that will play a part of the future. Contrary to what people say I have no interest in doing a children’s line; there are lots of people doing that very well already.” [From Daily Mail] I totally understand why Victoria has sort of banned David from attendance at her shows thus far. Husbands (especially gorgeous ones) can be so distracting in that way, and Victoria probably also wants to prove that she can do her own thing without him by her side at all times. As far as her desire to dress Tilda, well, I don’t see that happening — mostly because I’m not crazy about Victoria’s line, which only seems tailored to fit women with her precise measurements. Overall, I find the dresses to be unflattering to the celebrities — Kate Winslet, Jessica Simpson, Eva Longoria, and Demi Moore — who’ve worn Victoria’s designs on the red carpet. In comparison, do I think that Tilda would leave behind her usual fashion suspects and go for Victoria’s designs? Not a chance in hell. Photos courtesy of Fame, Wenn, and Numero magazine

Oscar nominations: Brad Pitt, George Clooney and no Michael Fassbender! Posted: 24 Jan 2012 07:24 AM PST Well, the 2012 Oscar nominations just came out this morning, and it's going to be interesting show this year. Although many people think that George Clooney is the frontrunner for Best Actor, but I think his position is soft, and I think the Best Actor category is far from decided. Sad news, though: NO FASSBENDER. Ugh. That sucks. Anyway, the only "sure thing" amongst the big acting awards is probably Christopher Plummer for Best Supporting Actor for the independent film Beginners. Plummer's got this. Anyway, here are the nominations (I'm only including the big ones, not the technical ones): Best Supporting Actress: Octavia Spencer, “The Help” Berenice Bejo, “The Artist” Jessica Chastain, “The Help” Janet McTeer “Albert Nobbs” Melissa McCarthy, “Bridesmaids” Best Actress: Glenn Close, Albert Nobbs Viola Davis, The Help Rooney Mara, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady Michelle Williams, My Week With Marilyn Best Supporting Actor: Kenneth Branagh Nick Nolte Jonah Hill Christopher Plummer Max Von Sydow Best Actor: George Clooney Jean Dujardin Gary Oldman Brad Pitt Demian Bichir Original screenplay: The Artist, Bridesmaids, Midnight in Paris, Margin Call, A Separation Adapted screenplay: The Descendants, Hugo, Ides of March, Moneyball, Tinker Director: Hazanavicius, Payne, Scorsese, Allen, Mallick Best picture: War Horse, Artist, Moneyball, Descendants, Tree of Life, Midnight in Paris, The Help, Hugo, Extremely Loud Some surprises: no Tilda Swinton for We Need to Talk about Kevin. No Fassbender. The inclusion of Rooney Mara is surprising too – I didn't think she would have had a chance at a nomination. It's also interesting that Gary Oldman ended up picking up a nomination, considering he's been shut out of most other awards. It's also great to see Melissa McCarthy up for Best Supporting, and Bridesmaids up for Best Screenplay. But I'm disappointed that 50/50 didn't get a screenplay nomination – that was the most well-written film of the year, in my opinion. Oh, and Angelina Jolie didn’t get a Best Foreign Film nomination for In the Land of Blood and Honey. It was a long shot anyway. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Rachel Zoe versus Kelly Osbourne: who looked worse at an LA benefit? Posted: 24 Jan 2012 06:50 AM PST This is a great idea for Kelly Osbourne – just always appear at events with Rachel Zoe, and Kelly will always look better by comparison. These photos are from last night's benefit for the LA Gay & Lesbian Center – Rachel Zoe was honored, and the proceeds of the evening's event went to benefit homeless youth services. Kelly was just there because… I don't even know. I guess she said nice things about Rachel. Anyway, we need to talk about Rachel Zoe's face, although I feel bad about saying anything, considering she was only out and about for a good cause, and because she was being honored for her support of the gay community. But why can't someone (anyone!) talk to Rachel about what's going on with her face? It's not just her (alleged) coke-and-starvation diet. She's got other stuff happening to her face. As for Kelly, doesn't she looks refreshingly young and adorable by comparison? I'm telling you, this is the secret! Just stand near Rachel Zoe, and you'll instantly looks so much cuter. I don't even mind Kelly's lavender hair here – her styling is so much better in casual/business appearances than on formal red carpets. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Gabriel Aubry investigated for battery against a nanny, Halle seeking no contact ruling Posted: 24 Jan 2012 05:42 AM PST When Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry split, a lot of accusations were made both through the press and in court that Aubry was verbally abusive, that he screamed racial epithets at Halle, and that he may have been neglecting their daughter Nahla, now nearly four. There were only vague allegations of neglect in the press and the worst thing I think I read about Aubry was that he called Halle the N word and threw a chair against a wall. A lot of people questioned whether Halle was publicly maligning Aubry in order to make herself out to be the victim and bolster her custody case. Well a new story suggests that Aubry might have an explosive temper after all. A nanny has accused him of pushing her out the door and screaming at her – when she had Nahla in her arms. Halle Berry’s baby daddy Gabriel Aubry is being investigated for criminal child endangerment and battery — over an incident involving his and Halle’s child … TMZ has learned. According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Gabriel allegedly pushed his nanny into a door while she held his daughter Nahla in her arms. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Gabriel was supposed to take 3-year-old Nahla to school Wednesday but decided to keep her home instead. The nanny — who worked for both Gabriel and Halle — went to the school to pick Nahla up and was told the child was a no-show. According to the report, the nanny then went to Gabriel’s home, where she found Nahla. The nanny picked Nahla up and began to question Gabriel as to why he didn’t take the child to school. According to the report, that’s when Gabriel allegedly flew into a rage — claiming, “You’re the f**king nanny. Who do you think you are? You are a nobody. You don’t need to f**king know anything.” The 6-foot-4 Gabriel then allegedly pushed the 5-foot-2 nanny out the door, Nahla in her arms. The nanny filed a police report, claiming she was injured. Law enforcement sources tell us … police are investigating Gabriel for both misdemeanor child endangerment and misdemeanor battery. The report lists the investigation as a battery, but law enforcement sources tell us they are “definitely investigating child endangerment.” [From TMZ] I read the police report (the PDF is here) and the blowup was over the nanny picking up Nahla, so that means that it’s Halle’s nanny too and there may be some history there. The accusations in the police report don’t sound as sordid as TMZ makes them out to be in their writeup (above) but that could just be due to the neutral way that police reports are written. They write “The susp(ect) [Aubry] then pushed the vict(im), who was still holding Nala [sic] in her arms and the vict fell against the wall, that was next to the susp[(ect's) front door. The vict stated that if the door was not there she would of [sic] fell to the ground with Nala in her arms.” I hope it wasn’t as bad as it sounds and that Nahla wasn’t traumatized by seeing her dad blow up at her nanny like that. TMZ has a follow-up story that Halle is seeking a no contact ruling in court so that Aubry can’t see his daughter at all until the investigation for child endangerment associated with this case is complete. The nanny allegedly told police that “Gabriel repeatedly yelled and cursed at her, often while Nahla was present,” and that “Gabriel often yelled at Nahla, causing the child to cower and cry.” Then they add that the nanny claimed that “when Nahla had a rash he refused to treat it.” That’s a strange minor detail to add, isn’t it? Whatever is going on, I just feel sorry for Nahla. Gabriel and Nahla are shown outside her school on 1-9, 1-11, 1-12 and 1-13. They pretty much get papped every day

Cynthia Nixon: “For me, homosexuality is a choice, you don’t define my gayness” Posted: 24 Jan 2012 05:41 AM PST Cynthia Nixon gave a surprisingly intimate interview to The New York Times a few days ago. Do you know how much I like Cynthia? She's awesome. I would love her alone for her commitment to public education, but whenever I read one of her increasingly rare interviews, I like her even more. Anyway, you can read the full NYT piece here - Cynthia talks at length about her experiences as a child actor, how she transitioned into an adult actor, her stage work and finally, her lesbianism… or bisexuality? Cynthia has had long-term relationships with both men and women, and Cynthia considers herself a lesbian by choice. Here are some highlights: Getting Sex & the City at the age of 30: "Nobody ever really thought of me as sexy, right?" she said wryly when we sat down earlier to talk. "They thought of me as smart and quirky. For a while I was waifish, and then I was smart and quirky, and then when I was like 30 I was cast in 'Sex and the City.' Thirty seems young to me now, but at the time 30 seemed to be kind of getting old, so it was this amazing confluence of events where I, who had never really exercised, never really worn heels, was in this thing that was about sex and grooming and your body. I might have just gone from waifs to old ladies, but I had my bombshell period in there, my unexpected bombshell period." Kids: Nixon is a mother herself; her two oldest children are Samantha, 15, and Charlie, 9. Their father is Daniel Mozes, a classmate of Nixon's at Hunter College High School, where he now teaches English. The couple never married and split in 2003. As Nixon has grown older, she has allowed herself to start coloring outside the lines. A year after splitting with Mozes, she began a relationship with Christine Marinoni, now 44, whom she met while campaigning to increase financing for New York City public schools. With the help of a male friend Nixon will not identify, Marinoni conceived a child. She gave birth to their son, Max Ellington Nixon-Marinoni, on Feb. 7, 2011. Her mid-life change to lesbianism: "I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line 'I've been straight and I've been gay, and gay is better.' And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a choice. And for me, it is a choice. I understand that for many people it's not, but for me it's a choice, and you don't get to define my gayness for me. A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if it's a choice, then we could opt out. I say it doesn't matter if we flew here or we swam here, it matters that we are here and we are one group and let us stop trying to make a litmus test for who is considered gay and who is not." Her face was red and her arms were waving. "As you can tell," she said, "I am very annoyed about this issue. Why can't it be a choice? Why is that any less legitimate? It seems we're just ceding this point to bigots who are demanding it, and I don't think that they should define the terms of the debate. I also feel like people think I was walking around in a cloud and didn't realize I was gay, which I find really offensive. I find it offensive to me, but I also find it offensive to all the men I've been out with." [From The New York Times] CB pointed out that Cynthia might be in the middle of the Kinsey scale, which means that her sexuality can easily go from men to women, and that people on the far ends of the Kinsey scale don’t have a choice when it comes to sex of their partners. That could be the case with Cynthia – she could just be one of those people who are like, "I just fall in love with whomever I fall in love with, men, women, no matter." Photos courtesy of WENN.

Jennifer Garner is hugely preggo with a bunny-eared phone: adorable? Posted: 24 Jan 2012 05:16 AM PST I feel like I've been saying "any minute now" about Jennifer Garner's impending birth for months. But seriously, she's probably going to give birth any minute now, right? Look at how big she is! Of course, she's been looking super-preggo for a few months now. Still, I'll just call it now – I think Jennifer will give birth in the next… two weeks? Yep. That's my guess. Anyway, these are new photos of Garner minus her dimply girls. Jennifer was just out running errands yesterday, and apparently she just bought a new car – a red Range Rover, which you can see here, at The Mail. The Mail seems to take the new car purchase as evidence that Jennifer is definitely having a boy, which… seems weird. I think she's having a boy this time too, but not because of a car purchase. Also – Fame Pictures notes that Jennifer has a bunny-eared case for her iPhone. I bet her girls picked it out, don't you? It's very cute. Photos courtesy of Fame.

Madonna in Marchesa at the NYC W.E. premiere: ice-skater disaster? Posted: 24 Jan 2012 04:54 AM PST When I first saw this hideous gown that Madonna wore at last night's NYC premiere of W.E., my first thought was that she had probably picked out the ugliest thing she could find from Dior or something. Turns out, Madonna is wearing Marchesa. Of course. I should have recognized the ice-skater fugness. I guess it makes sense because Harvey Weinstein is really trying to make W.E. happen in a big way, and by association, he's trying to make Madonna-as-Director happen in a big way. Thus, Madge wears Harvey's wife's hideous designs. But at this point, doesn't it seem like Georgina Chapman is just trying to make the worst gowns possible, just to see who will go along with wearing them? As for Madonna's face… rough. In the past few months, I've kept saying that Madonna looks better, that her chicken cutlet cheek implants have finally settled, that she doesn't look so crazy anymore. I take it all back. She still looks crazy. Photos courtesy of WENN, Fame.

Cameron Diaz in Paris: still tweaked & jacked, or actually looking better? Posted: 24 Jan 2012 04:26 AM PST As CB covered yesterday, Cameron Diaz is in Paris, where she’s been going to seemingly every Paris fashion show, and I swear, she must have had ten costume changes in a 48-hour period. The British tabloids are making a big deal about Camy's waxy, Botoxy face, but… honestly, I think she's looking a little bit better. Last year, Camy was looking really, really puffy, busted and jacked, and it honestly seems like her face has deflated a bit in these photos. If you told me she was still hitting the 'Tox, I wouldn't disagree with you. But I just think there's a significant improvement in these photos. I can't really tell in these photos if Camy really did get a boob job. There were some bikini photos a month or two ago where it seemed like she definitely had gotten them done, but fully clothed, Cameron's boobs look only slightly bigger. So, if she really did get them done, I applaud her for getting implants that suit her frame. PS… I love her outfit here. I really want that jacket. Photos courtesy of Fame.
