Is This A Photo Of Juliette Lewis Having Sex With Terry Richardson?

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 11:17 AM PST

A picture hit the internet today that many are saying is of Juliette Lewis having sex with infamously pervy photographer Terry Richardson. Has Uncle Terry finally begun successfully coercing famous people to have sex with him on camera in addition to all the non-famous ones? Or is this just a picture of him having sex with some random model who just happens to look a lot like Juliette Lewis? Here are some points for and against. (Click over to this very NSFW post on Fleshbot if you’d like to see the un-censored version.)

Pro: We know Juliette Lewis did a shoot with him in which things got sensual, at the very least:

Con: The naked chick’s hair looks a little bit longer than Juliette’s does here, and her eyebrows look more roundly arched. Then again, the photo could be from a different session when Juliette was wearing her hair/eyebrows differently.

Con: A look at her topless scene in the movie Strange Days (link obviously NSFW) shows Juliette to have slightly smaller boobs than the woman in the photo.

Pro: Her boobs could’ve gotten a little bit bigger due to weight gain, hormonal birth control, or all kinds of factors. It’s not that big a difference in size.

Con: I’m pretty sure Juliette Lewis doesn’t have a double chin.

Pro: Uncle Terry likes to shoot women from the least flattering angles possible. Through the miracle of shitty photography, anyone can have a double chin, even a tiny Hollywood actress!

Con: Folks are saying it’s model Susan Eldridge, whom Terry used to date.

Pro: Here is a photo of Susan Eldridge taken from a similar angle (link NFSW). She looks pretty different from the woman in the above picture.

Pro: Juliette Lewis, a Scientologist, is demonstrably insane. Insane enough to trust Terry Richardson with a sex photo of her?

Con: Terry Richardson is positively lousy with negative thetans.

And now for one last big pro. Here’s the email Juliette Lewis’ publicist sent Gawker earlier today:

From: Carleen <[redacted]>
Date: Wed, Jan 25, 2012 at 12:08 PM
Subject: URGENT: Juliette Lewis
To: “legal@gawker.com”

Hi-

I am Juliette Lewis’ publicist. The image that you have on your site right now is not of her. I need it taken down immediately and the story retracted.

It is correct that she did a shoot with Terry several years ago but this is absolutely not a shot from that shoot nor does this image even have her in it.

Please confirm you received this email and that the image/ story will be taken down.

If it’s not Juliette Lewis in the picture, why would her publicist care whether or not it remains on the internet? As much as I’d like to think she’s concerned for whatever poor Juliette doppelganger Uncle Terry coerced into such a compromising position, I’m thinking this is the confirmation we were waiting for.

Conclusion: That really is a photo of Terry Richardson boning Juliette Lewis in a most uncomfortable-looking position. Thanks for the help, Carleen!

Style Crush: Alicia Keys

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 10:57 AM PST

Style Crush: Alicia Keys and her braids

Usually when I do these Style Crush posts, it’s a matter of finding the same performer in a variety of daring red carpet outfits. That’s why it’s so refreshing when I find a subject for whom “style” means also makeup, headwear, and hair. I found that in Alicia Keys, who captivated us with her braids and her piano skills and manages to look awesome both while picking up music awards and doing the talk-show circuit. You know that when she’s “working” an outfit, she’s actually working in it.

Plus, it’s her birthday today! Happy 31st, Alicia.

Parenting Lessons From Teen Mom 2: Lying Is The Mature Way To Win A Fight

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 10:06 AM PST

Usually, a title like “Beginning of the End” implies a big showdown, which is probably what we’re going to see before this season of Teen Mom 2 is over. But I’d like to believe that it’s also about the girls learning some self-respect finally and standing up for themselves. Leah is shocked when Corey wants to use their money for a trailer to buy a truck instead, so she turns to her parents for support. Kailyn starts the process of fighting Jo for child support. Chelsea manages to get through her first day of work without obsessing over her breakup with Adam. And Jenelle… scratch that, Jenelle is never going to learn to stop wallowing in self-pity.

Jenelle and Tori fight on Teen Mom 2 "The Beginning of the End"

JENELLE

DO: Take financial responsibility

You thought that the only child support plot in this episode would be Kailyn and Jo, huh? Not so: It turns out that Jenelle has to pay Barbara child support for Jace seeing as she’s the one actually raising him. Kudos to the network for showing Jenelle and her mom talking through this (mostly) like adults.

DON’T: Be petty

And then, Jenelle proves that she’s an immature shit by lashing out at Kieffer because he’s been texting other girls, notably his ex-girlfriend. Let’s backtrack for a second—yes, Kieffer broke up with Jenelle because she was tweeting an ex. But when the tables are turned, the reasonable thing to do is express your frustration with the double standard and either set up a rule where neither or both of you can communicate with people of the opposite sex.

The unreasonable thing is Jenelle’s behavior tonight: Gunning the gas and driving her and Kieffer into the middle of nowhere and screaming at him.

DON’T: Isolate yourself

Consider this exchange between mother and daughter post-child support talk, pre-Kieffer drama:

Barbara: “Have more self-respect for yourself.”
Jenelle: “Leave me alone!”

That seems to be Jenelle’s mantra: She doesn’t want to be bothered by external needs like eating or taking care of Jace, so she can instead wallow in her own self-pity. But if she’s going to have any sort of family — and I’m not talking anything traditional and nuclear, simply her and Jace — she can’t withdraw into herself. Every bad mother in pop culture (including Katniss’ mom in The Hunger Games) is one who can’t deal with the world and emotionally and physically leaves her kids behind.

DO: Pick your battles

All of Jenelle’s shit this episode combines into a showdown with roommate Tori, who wants Jenelle to help out with the utilities or at the very least to get out of bed. Next thing you know, everyone in the apartment is fighting, with Kieffer running in to beat up Tori’s boyfriend (I assume) and Jenelle screeching at Tori to shut up.

What The World Needs Now: Prince Charming With A Beard

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 10:22 AM PST

The facial hair world can finally sleep better at night now. For the first time in almost 60 years, The Walt Disney Co. will be free of breaking the discrimination laws that it had in the past by not allowing their employees to grow facial hair.

For the past 10 years the American Mustache Institute has been battling Mickey’s home base and has finally won against the company that was started by a mustached man, mind you. As of February 3rd, Disney employees will be allowed to rock beards and goatees. It was Walt Disney himself who, in 1955, felt the need to “distinguish his theme park from what he called ‘filthy carnies.’” Oh, that Disney! He really had a bone to pick with everyone!

In 2000, Disney decided to loosening up on the tight code that had been in tact for almost 50 years and finally allowed male employees to grow mustaches. It was a big step for a business that has shown generations of kids that Prince Charming is a clean-shaven man who can usually sing quite well.

However, there are still some rules for those who may be thinking of growing some facial hair for the workplace. All facial hair can be no more than a quarter of an inch long (read: hippies you’re still not welcome) and any whiskers "must create an overall neat, polished and professional look." On top of that, facial hair must be well-groomed (there are mini-brushes for that) and fully grown in (so you need to call in sick during the mid-growth process). Isn’t progress fun?

To further prove that Disney is all about coming to terms with the times, the company finally allowed female employees to skip wearing pantyhose while wearing skirts two years ago. I’m sure Disney has been rolling over in his grave ever since.

With this new and improved outlook on life, if Disney were to go back and bring their princes into the 21st Century by giving them beards and mustaches, who might their facial hair-donning men be as inspiration? We have a few ideas.

Check Out Rihanna’s New ‘Thug Life’ Tattoo

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 09:30 AM PST

Freshly relaxed from her bikinis n’ blunts holiday in Hawaii, Rihanna has decided to go and get herself some new ink from famed tattoo artist Mark Mahoney back in LA. Look how much she loves him!

The decorated singer selected a “Thug Life” tattoo for her knuckles, which, according to the Meek Mill quote she posted to twitter, is a tribute to the late Tupac Shakur, who had “Thug Life” written across his chest in script. It’s possible the words are just drawn on, but judging by the redness and swelling that’s visible in the photo, I’d say it’s probably real.

That wasn’t the only tattoo she got, either. She posted another photo of Mahoney working on her back, alongside the Drake lyric “Tat my fuckin name on u girl so I know its real!!!” Alas, she has yet to show us the finished product.

And what visit to an LA tattoo parlor would be complete without a random celebrity cameo from actor Danny Trejo, of Grindhouse fame? No visit.

What do you think of Rihanna’s new ink?

BlindGossip Called Out Demi Lovato, But Her Rep Denies She’s In Rehab [Updated]

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 11:09 AM PST

Update: Demi’s reps have released several more statements to various outlets, including Perez Hilton, saying, “The story was fabricated. It is completely untrue.” Furthermore, BlindGossip added this update after speaking with Demi’s team:

Demi Lovato's PR team has asked BG to let its readers know that, as of today, 1/25/2012, Demi Lovato is not a resident at an in-patient treatment center. They will not confirm her sobriety and will not be releasing any statements about her sobriety or her personal health. Demi will be publicly seen and photographed out in Los Angeles later today when she goes to a medical appointment.

We’ve updated our post to reflect these changes and Demi’s current situation. I’d like to point out, however, that the most interesting part of the story was not whether Demi was back in rehab, but the idea of a gossip site directly addressing the stars it’s writing about. I’ll be curious to see if more sites pick up that method in the future.

Now Demi Lovato quitting Twitter doesn’t seem so sudden: BlindGossip reports that the troubled Disney starlet has checked into Passages, a treatment center in Malibu, to get help for alcohol abuse and cocaine. But the most interesting facet of the story is that BlindGossip, a site that primarily publishes blind items about Hollywood stars, claims that they helped to get Demi back in rehab.

One of their blind items, published on January 19, took the unexpected tack of directly addressing the drug-addled starlet in question. After running through the relevant details about the actress spouting a sober message while doing coke at parties, BlindGossip wrote:

Let's cut to the chase, and get more direct: Look, we know that you and your friends are reading this. It is absolute madness for you to think that this will end well. You are a beautiful and talented girl, but you ARE going to lose your fans and your career and probably your life if you keep this up.

Remember how upset one of your siblings was when someone picked on them? Do you realize how much more emotionally destroyed they would be if you actually died? You should think about that, because that is exactly where you are heading right now. We don't care if you lie to people about what your problems are. We don't care if you pretend that you are going on vacation. Just get yourself back into rehab (or treatment, if it makes you feel better to call it that), and get well. Now.

As they explained, they knew that Demi and her friends read BlindGossip religiously, so they figured that the best move was to call her out. And it worked: Demi was allegedly furious about them pulling her sister into it — see below — but it also got her friends to forward the blind item on to her parents/management.

Readers first started to catch on that it was Demi because of photos that surfaced the week prior of her and friends partying at Beachers Madhouse. Then there’s the sibling angle. Fans pointed out young actress Madison de la Garza, Demi’s half-sister through their mom. Madison plays one of Gabrielle Solis’ (Eva Longoria) overweight children on Desperate Housewives; in real life, she’s been bullied for her weight. She’s also appeared on two of Demi’s projects: Princess Protection Program and playing young Demi on Sonny with a Chance.

However, it should be noted that Demi’s rep has apparently denied the entire story, according to GossipCop. But we’re not sure if we can entirely believe the rep, since the statement is startlingly casual for a celebrity story: “It is a crock of shit.” That’s the kind of thing we’d expect from Demi’s Twitter… if she were still tweeting.

Teen Mom 2‘s Leah Messer Has Suffered A Miscarriage

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 10:10 AM PST

Sad news today for Teen Mom 2 star Leah Messer. According to a report from Ok! Magazine, the 19-year-old mother of two (who previously denied being pregnant) has suffered a miscarriage of her second pregnancy.

According to Ok!, she knew something wasn’t right when she began having cramps. This lasted for two weeks, ending in miscarriage. Leah’s fiance Jeremy Calvert called it “a devastating experience,” adding, “all I can do is support Leah and take things day by day. It’s hard, but we will get through it."

As sad as this is, maybe young Leah should take this as a sign that she’s not ready to have any more children just yet. She already has her hands full taking care of her two-year-old twin daughters Aliannah and Aleeah on a limited budget,  especially considering the fact that Ali has special needs. "The thought hasn't even crossed Leah's mind to try again,” according to the source. Hopefully, after the grief subsides, she’ll think things through and come to the same conclusion.

Then again, the whole story could be fabricated. The pregnancy, the miscarriage, all of it. But Leah did tweet “I’m a survivor!” yesterday, so perhaps the miscarriage was what she was referring to.

And witness first real cracks in Leah’s marriage to Corey Simms in our Teen Mom 2 recap.
