Is Jessica Chastain really 30? She won’t state her age, but a 1998 article puts her at 35 now

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 09:23 AM PST


You know I love Jessica Chastain. She’s so pretty, she’s so genuinely nice, and I think she can really act too. But it’s kind of slow today and we’re searching for something to report on. Hence this story that Jessica Chastain might not really be “30″ as her Wikipedia entry and IMDB states. I do remember reading somewhere that she was 31 or 32, and I remember squinting and thinking that she looked older than that. Radiant and lovely, but older than that. Well Kaiser pointed me to this article in HuffPo from last year in which they state that Jessica won’t disclose her age. They write “Chastain, who is about 30 but will not disclose her exact age, grew up in northern California and dreamed of becoming an actress from about the age of 5.” That’s arguably more honest than shaving a few years off and trying to claim that you’re younger, a la Agyness Dyen. (or Beyonce, or Catherine Zeta-Jones)


Reader Drew pointed out on that Agyness Dyen story that Mandisa from American Idol, who is 36, recently tweeted that she went to high school with Jessica. That would make Jessica 33 at least, if she was a freshman when Mandisa was a senior. (I tweeted Mandisa asking if she was in the same grade as Jessica, and have not yet heard back.) I guess I don’t blame Jessica for wanting to keep her age a secret, but it seems unlikely in this age of the Internet and IMDB.

After I wrote that intro, I googled a little and found this article from 1998 on Jessica Chastain’s turn in “Romeo and Juliet” in a San Francisco production. They say she’s 21, and since that was 1998 that would make her 35 now, or at least turning 35 in less than a month, if her day of birth, March 29, is correct.

But more than anything, it’s the appealing, intense performances of Travis Engle and Jessica Chastain as Romeo and Juliet that lend such a sense of universality to this production. Engle and Chastain, themselves 17 and 21, portray the famous couple as what they really were–love-struck teenagers.

[From Metroactive.com, article from the April 30-May 6, 1998 issue]

Speaking of IMDB, I recently heard a very good editorial on KCRW’s The Business about how IMDB promotes ageism. IMDB is currently being sued by a low-level actress for culling her age when she signed up for an IMDB pro account and using it on her public profile without her permission. KCRW had on a Hollywood agent who said that it’s illegal to ask for someone’s age on a job application, and that she represents many supporting staff in films, like technical and engineering experts, who get discriminated against because they’re older and that information is easily found on IMDB. There’s a ton of competition in Hollywood to be in movie crews, and the agent claims that IMDB makes it very difficult for older people to get work in the field. That’s not even counting the very blatant ageism in casting the acting parts, particularly among women.

So is Jessica Chastain just trying to protect her skyrocketing movie career by not disclosing her age? Probably, and at least she’s being somewhat honest about it. Or is she? If you google “How Old is Jessica Chastain?” the answer you get is “30″.

Oh and Kaiser wanted me to add this about Jessica’s style. “There’s no excuse for a woman of 35 to still be so clueless about her personal style. She faltered so many times throughout the course of this awards season, and people gave her a pass because ‘she’s young’ and ‘this is her first time doing this.’” Well the second part is accurate.

I don’t mean to come down hard on Jessicam and this speaks to a much larger issue in Hollywood. I don’t blame her for lying, or deliberately hiding, her age. It’s kind of an impossible prospect though at this point.

Reese Witherspoon uses Chris Brown as a teachable moment for her kids

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 08:39 AM PST

Last week, I was feeling bad for Reese Witherspoon. It seemed like her latest film, This Means War, had bombed – so far, it's made about $35 million in two weeks. But that was before Jennifer Aniston's new film really bombed over the weekend – now Reese is looking like the much better contender for "America's Sweetheart," isn't she? My problem with Reese the actress is that when I'm watching her in a rom-com, I'm thinking, "I wish she would do more dramas." And when I'm watching her in a drama, I'm thinking, "I wish she would do more comedies." Maybe it's the lack of worthy material in Hollywood. Maybe it's that Reese has bad taste in projects. Maybe she needs to be less concerned with her paycheck and more concerned with simply making good films.

Anyway, that was a long way to go to say this – for the most part, I like Reese as a person. I still want her to do well. I want her to stop pretending to be a ditz, because she shouldn't be ashamed of being an anal-retentive, hyper-organized, intelligent woman. I want her to end her friendship with Chelsea Handler – it's doing her no favors. And mostly, I want Reese to fully embrace being a role model to young women. Because she's smart, she's talented, and her instincts are good. Here's an article about Reese discussing domestic violence and what she tells her kids about the Chris Brown situation:

As the Global Ambassador for the Avon Foundation, Reese Witherspoon knows that in the U.S. and worldwide, one in three woman will experience domestic violence in their lifetimes. As a mother, she wants her kids to know that, too.

“We talk about domestic violence and what that means,” Witherspoon, 35, told PEOPLE Tuesday at the 2nd World Conference of Women’s Shelters in Washington, D.C., about educating her own family. “Although the concept is somewhat foreign to them, they’re starting to understand that this happens to families in our country and all throughout the world.”

Witherspoon’s two children – daughter Ava, 12, and son Deacon, 8 – have also talked with their mother about a recent public case: the felony assault by Chris Brown on then-girlfriend Rihanna in February 2009, after which he pleaded guilty.

“My daughter knows what happened. My son knows as well,” says the Oscar winner. “We talk about what is abuse. I think it’s important to talk to our daughters – and our sons – in order to educate them at an early age about what’s appropriate and what is absolutely not acceptable.”

Luckily for Witherspoon, she’s found herself in a happy relationship and marriage with husband Jim Toth. The couple’s first wedding anniversary is next month.

“I don’t know what we’re doing, but I’m very excited!” she says. “It happened so fast – it all went so quickly.”

[From People]

Props to Reese for using the situation as teachable moment for her kids. And double-props to her for emphasizing domestic violence education for BOTH boys and girls. Reese is a great mom! By the way, do you think Chris Brown will have some kind of idiotic hissy fit now that Reese mentioned him? I'd like to see Reese verbally take on Chris in the public sphere.

OK!: Brad Pitt told Maddox about Jennifer Aniston, and Angelina freaked out

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 08:04 AM PST

Surprisingly enough, Angelina Jolie's horrible and controversial leg did not take the cover of every tabloid this week. In fact, Brangelina drama only took the covers of OK! Magazine and In Touch Weekly, and none of it is about The Leg. It's about the fake-wedding, the one which both Brad and Angelina were suggesting would take place as part of Brad's Oscar campaign. Both OK and ITW claim the wedding is OFF! Of course. But why is the wedding off? Because of Jennifer Aniston, of course. And Maddox. I swear, Michael K is writing for OK! Magazine at this point.

Brangelina got into an explosive fight because of Angie's unrelenting jealousy over Jen! Now the couple's wedding plans are up in the air! Angelina Jolie, 36, and Brad Pitt, 48, are temporarily calling off their wedding because of what Brad told son Maddox about his ex-wife, reports OK! mag.

The 10-year-old happened to see an online article about Jennifer Aniston, 43, and had asked Brad who she was.

"Brad didn't realize that Angie was home, and so he basically just told Maddox the truth: that Jennifer was a woman he loved very much and was once married to," said a source to the mag. "But that's when Angelina walked in."

The actress, 36, was livid with Brad, 48, for a number of reasons. “Brad thought he had taken all necessary precautions and never suspected the kids would learn about his past by coming across a story about Jennifer,” says the insider.

Although Brad thought he had taken steps to keep his kids from knowing his past with Jen, apparently, the Internet happened!

"Angie went berserk and said he was stupid not to supervise Maddox's Internet use," said the source. "She knows this is just the start. They have six kids who are all going to get older and want to know everything about their parents' pasts."

The source also said that Jen is still a "sore spot" for Angie and that after Maddox left the room, she flipped out on Brad and screamed that "she didn't want to get married to someone who'd been married to Jennifer Aniston."

After they exchanged nasty words, Brad took off on his motorcycle and things haven't been the same since, confided the source.

[From Hollywood Life & OK! Magazine]

First point: shouldn't Angelina be upset about the kids looking at stuff on the Internet that they shouldn't be seeing? That seems like a reasonable argument for two parents to have – what kind of Internet time do we allow our kids to have? Second point: Of course it was about Maddox asking about Jennifer Aniston. All of Michael K's assumptions about the Maddox-Aniston blood feud have been correct! Now we just need to know what Brad told the gerbils.

You can totally see it on Angelina's face too. That's the face of a woman who just bitched out her baby-daddy for even mentioning the name "Jennifer Aniston." Of course. That's what Angelina's leg was trying to tell us.

Snooki really is pregnant, wants to fashion self as “the next Kourtney Kardashian”

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 08:02 AM PST

The Snooki and J-Woww “Jersey Shore” spinoff (which is partially funded with taxpayer money) has commenced filming, and the show has a horrific name — “Snooki and J-Woww vs. The World” — that sort of makes sense because a neighboring Jersey City wine shop has banned the girls from entering the premises. Well, there’s more than one liquor store in the city, and the pair have found many stores that will accept their patronage. The Mail has some photos of the girls out shopping with a barefaced J-Woww proving that she really hasn’t had plastic surgery on her face. Makeup really makes a difference in her case, but there’s no accounting either J-Woww or Snooki’s taste. Snooki has already had a zebra-print couch delivered to the house, and here are some photos of the girls decorating with their awful style sense that mostly includes hot pinks and animal prints.

Now onto the better part of this story, which hints at Nicole Polizzi’s possible budding sense of entrepreneurship and planned persona. Sometimes (although only for a few moments), I start to believe that the Snooki alter ego is merely an act, but then I realize that “Snooki” is mostly a drunken byproduct. A prime example of this would be last week’s “Jersey Shore” episode where Deena’s fake eyelashes fell off, and Snooki made a crack about them swimming in the Pacific ocean. As such, I am fairly certain Snooki is merely an extension of Nicole’s actual personality and not so much an act as what she’s really like when the booze flows and the guard goes down. However, some people think that Snooki is more clever than she appears, and this lastest story goes back to the early February rumors that Snooki was knocked up with Jionni LaValle’s orange baby. At the time, Snooki denied being preggers, but the Post has talked to a source that claims that Snooki was lying and is just pretending not to be pregnant until her brokered announcement deal with Us Weekly comes to fruition:

The universe’s collective IQ should prepare to drop a few points.

Though she has publicly denied she's expecting, sources say trashy “Jersey Shore" guidette Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is indeed pregnant and has plans to bankroll her mommy-to-be status into becoming “the next Kourtney Kardashian.”

We’re told Polizzi, 24, is carrying her first child by boyfriend Jionni LaValle, and is roughly three months along.

Sources said the reality star, who denied being preggers earlier this month, has already brokered a deal to announce the news on the cover of Us Weekly after she shopped the story to several celebrity magazines.

But sources tell Page Six that MTV is worried about how to manage the news, given that Polizzi’s hard-partying, booze-swilling ways have just been turned into a “Jersey Shore” spinoff with Jenni “JWoww” Farley, which has begun shooting in New Jersey.

“MTV went into crisis mode after they found out,” said a source. “They’re trying to hide it because it would greatly affect the creative direction of the show.” The untitled new show has just begun taping and focuses on the ladies’ relationship as friends and roommates — and whatever adventures come their way.

Star magazine reported a few weeks ago that Snooki was pregnant but had told “only her close friends and family.” But Polizzi went on “GMA” on Feb. 2 to tell Lara Spencer, “I definitely do want kids, but I’m not pregnant . . . Being pregnant should be a real thing and a happy thing, and I'm not.”

Since then, Polizzi, who last year lost 20 pounds off of her 4-foot-9 frame by working out, eating healthy and taking a weight-loss supplement, has started filming her new show in Jersey City. Photos taken on the set shown her carrying large bags to hide her belly.

A rep for MTV said the network “doesn’t comment on series in production.” Polizzi’s rep declined to comment.

[From Page Six]

LMAO at MTV fearing that Snooki’s knocked-up status will affect the “creative direction of the show” … as if it’s a statement of art to point a camera at Snooki while she does idiotic things like frolic in the ocean surf during high tide. As for the alleged method of Snooki carrying giant bags to hide her belly, that’s a total wash too because she always carries outrageously huge purses. Then again, most “normal”-sized items do look humongous when itty-bitty Snooki carries them.

However, I can believe that Snooki’s really pregnant and has merely brokered a deal to announce her status at a strategically-timed point. What I don’t believe is that she dreamt up the plan herself — either MTV told her to wait before announcing, or her ever-present father told her to get paid.

Here’s J-Woww with her two dogs outside the new home base. I think the little one is named “Lean Cuisine.”

And here’s a photo of Snooki’s own customized Cadillac pickup truck with gaudy pink accents and “Boss Lady” emblazoned on the back as well. Such revolting taste!

Lindsay Lohan crack-cackles when discussing her cracked-out “sobriety”

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 07:30 AM PST

I wrote up today’s first Lindsay Lohan post last night, when Today just released a partial transcript of Matt Lauer's new interview. The full video interview was done yesterday, and it will air tomorrow, but on today's show, they released a brief clip which deserves its own post. THIS CRACKHEAD. First, note how she LAUGHS when she's saying that she's clean and sober. Like, the thoughts in her crack-brain are all, "Haha, Matt's buying this!" She's so gleeful about her crack-lies. And then Lauer asks her about Whitney Houston's death and whether that affected her. She says, "I don't want to go there. That's kind of a morbid, scary thing to discuss…" She's so absorbed in her crack-lies she can't even see past them.

OMG HER FACE. That wig. The crack lips. And we're supposed to think she looks good. We're supposed to think this is the face of sobriety. *shakes head violently*

And then we've got the first promo for LL's gig on SNL. OMG HER FACE.

Are we supposed to think this is cute? Are we supposed to be supporting her in her cracked-out delusions? Are we supposed to see this and think, "Oh, she's so talented. Why don't people give her a chance?" Because frankly, I'm disgusted. This isn’t giving a chance to someone in recovery, someone who has met her demons head-on and come out of it sober and strong. This is a girl who is still using, who is still absorbed in her crack-drama, who is taking this gig as an acceptance of her desperate lifestyle.

Does Kim Kardashian think she can land a billionaire Saudi prince?

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 07:28 AM PST

Kim Kardashian tweeted the header photo two days ago. I guess she wanted to show off her size 2 figure. I should say – I'm always surprised with how small Kim's waist is. I don't have a problem with her curves, and I identify with her hourglass figure. My only problem is – don't try to convince me that you're a size 2. Don't. Anyway, she tweeted this pic with the message, "Sweatpants hair tie chillin with no make up on." It seemed really blah and whatever, but you would not believe how many media outlets ran with this "story." There was even analysis that this photo was intended for Reggie Bush, like Kim was trying to show off her body – directly to Reggie, I guess. But that's not what this week's issue of Star Magazine (via Hollywood Life) claims. Apparently, there are some Saudi princes who want to get on Size 2.

The Kardashians have always joked that Kim Kardashian, 31, is the "princess" of the family. Well, her dream of becoming royalty could happen sooner than she thought!

During Kim and Kris Jenner's trip to Dubai in October 2011, many Saudi Arabian princes were throwing themselves at Kim, according to a new report in Star magazine. And now she may have found a match!

"Several royals gave her their phone numbers and made it clear they were serious about dating her," a source tells the mag. "The one she really had a connection with is a billionare!"

While her prince's identity has yet to be revealed, sources tell the mag that he's not hesitant to dole out cash which is exactly what she was looking for in her next man.

"She wants to be taken care of," the source says. "She's done being a sugar mama."

So forget about the rumors of Kim and Reggie rekindling their romance because the source says he's "yesterday's news" and "not rich enough."

Maybe this is why Kim has been jetting off Haiti for charity work? Is she getting a head start on princess duties? Will Kim and Kate Middleton be PRINCESS FRIENDS? So many questions!

[From Hollywood Life]

Saudi princes? Billionaire? Just wanting to be taken care of? Welcome to the harem, Kat-face. He won't marry you, but you can join the harem. Good luck.

And in other Kat-face news, <em>In Touch Weekly reports that Kim is insanely jealous of her sister Kourtney, all because Kourtney is preggo with a baby girl. A source tells the mag, "It's Kim's dream to be a mom, and she especially wants a little girl to dress up and pamper. She was green with envy. Kim wants a little girl who she can treat like a princess." In Touch is also claiming that Kim is still hung up on Reggie Bush, though. Apparently ITW didn't get the memo about the Saudi prince's kat-faced harem.

Agyness Deyn finally admits that she’s been lying about her age the whole time

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 04:55 AM PST

I never really paid much attention to Agyness Deyn, beyond the basic understanding that she was a "A Thing" for several years. She got a lot of press, a lot of heat, and circa 2006-07, a lot of the style tastemakers were declaring Agyness the Next Big Thing, the next Kate Moss, the next Linda Evangelista, the next Stella Tennant. Agyness got magazine covers. She got ad campaigns – for Burberry, Vivienne Westwood and Armani, amongst others. She walked all of the big runways. She boned James Franco. And then… everything kind of died down. The hype passed. Everybody kind of figured out that Agyness – real name Laura Hollins – wasn't all that. So now she's trying to become an actress. And in a new interview, Agyness finally admitted something that pretty much everyone assumed: she'd been lying about her age for YEARS. When she came on the scene, she was 18 years old and she thought that was "too old" to start modeling. So she shaved some years away. And then she shaved even more away. People thought she was currently 23 years old – she's admitting that she's 29. You can read the whole Guardian interview here, and here are some highlights:

Agyness is an actress now: After modelling for 11 years, Deyn has decided to swap the catwalk for the stage, and this week will appear in her first play, a four-handed comedy called The Leisure Society. It is, she readily admits, quite a change. “For modelling, you have to be such a strong person in a way – or seen to be a strong person, do you know what I mean? But in acting you have to get in touch with all the vulnerability that you carry.” She’s been rehearsing for eight hours every day, and talks about it with a sort of awestruck reverence. “When I started doing little bits of acting I was like, this is what I’m supposed to be doing, you know? Going to this place where there’s this fulfillment in kind of like letting go, and also that part of really getting in touch with yourself, to be able to understand a different character, and then portray that to whoever’s watching it, and to be able to penetrate them in a way that touches them. And there’s this unsaid kind of bond with us all [in the cast] which is so powerful, you know? It’s like this family, there for each other; I feel held by the other people who are doing it, which is so great, cos like with modelling for so long it’s a very solo project, and quite lonely. Being part of – well, it makes me feel emotional just talking about it – being part of this with these great people – it’s just like so cool.”

Playing a 21 year old in the play: "I kind of feel like I have to put me as I am now to one side, cos you know, I’m 29, I feel like that’s the age when you start to think about life. What is this all about? Who am I?”

She doesn't pretend to have an "ugly" past: Deyn seems to become less comfortable when she talks about her old career as a model. She’s the first professional beauty I’ve met who doesn’t pretend to have been an ugly duckling – “No, I suppose as a little girl I was really pretty. I was cute” – which makes a lovely change.

Why she lied about her age: "No, when I decided I would really do modeling I was like 18, and I think at the time that was quite old for a new face, so we knocked off a few years.” The deception has long since been corrected.

Why she changed her name: “Yeah, I started modelling, and they said there are loads of Lauras – you can change your name. I was like, OK, and then I thought about it and said OK, I’ll be called Agnes; my grandmother was called Agnes.” It was as simple as that? “Yeah.” But didn’t her mother, a Reiki master, also change her name – and Deyn’s sister too? Yes, she acknowledges warily. And she changed the spelling because of numerology? “Laurence helped me change my name,” she says matter of factly. “Erm … yeah, that’s it.”

She’s single: “Yeah, single for three years now. I think I’ve forgotten how to function in a relationship. I hope I meet someone, cos it would be nice to have someone to share your joys and accomplishments and hard times with. To have a comrade in life. I’d like a relationship that was like two tree trunks side by side, strong but independent.”

[From The Guardian]

Ugh, I can't believe I read the full piece. She's not evil or bitter or full of herself, nothing like that. She's just… deep as a puddle. Oh, well. They're not paying her to be smart, I guess.

As for the name-change and the outright lies about her age – I tend to think Agyness was being packaged to the fashion world, much like Lana del Rey has been packaged to the music industry. Agyness wasn't anything when she was Laura, a 20-something model in London. Then she signed to a New York modeling agency, changed her name, lied about her age in interview after interview, and suddenly she an It Girl. Do you feel betrayed by the lies? Are you pissed off that a rather average, normal girl was repackaged and "created" out of thin air, built solely on hype and vapidity-sold-as-mystique?

By the way, she looks like Tea Leoni, right?

Lindsay Lohan claims she doesn’t crack-party: “That’s not my thing anymore”

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 04:33 AM PST

You might look at the header photo and think, "It's sad that the Today show has to resort to doing interviews with 40-year-old hookers. It's morning television, after all." And then you understand – this is Lindsay Lohan, with her t-ts out, letting her skirt ride up, staring out from underneath that hideous white-blonde wig. Yesterday, we discussed the rumor that Lindsay Lohan was going to do a "no holds barred" interview with Today's Matt Lauer. Well, it's already gone down – Today released this photo plus a partial transcript of this mess, with the actual interview to air on Thursday, tomorrow. Here's what Today is shilling:

In an exclusive interview set to air on TODAY Thursday morning, Lindsay Lohan tells Matt Lauer that she is “clean and sober” and she wants “to continue to move forward and in the right direction.”

The actress, who will host “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, also told Lauer, “I still need to go through the process of proving myself.”

Lohan, 25, is one court appearance away from putting her legal troubles from a 2007 drunken driving case behind her. Lauer asked her if, when they spoke last, the actress was in denial.

“Definitely,” Lohan said. “And I think it was — it’s a scary thing to have to kind of express to people … I wasn’t as comfortable with myself then. I think it was a fear factor that I had about what was really going on. And, you know, I had to get that wakeup call.”

Lohan also told Lauer that the temptation of night life and parties is something she’s avoiding.

“That’s not my thing anymore. I went out, actually, a few months ago with a friend. And I was so uncomfortable. Not because I felt tempted, just because it was just the same thing that it always was before. And it just wasn’t fun for me. I’ve become more of a homebody. And I like that.”

It may be that change in lifestyle, or at the least the perception that there has been a change, that will help the actress get back to work.

“Do you think people have gotten back, or can get back to the point where they trust you?” Lauer asked. “In other words, professional people? You know, if they say to you, ‘Come host ‘Saturday Night Live’,’ that’s a big commitment. And do you think the producers and directors of movies and television projects are going to get back to the part where they can go, ‘You know what? Yeah, we can count on Lindsay. We can bank on her?’”

“I think that that’s gonna take — I think that takes time,” Lohan said. “And I think that it’s actions. Because people can say things all they want, but I think I still need to go through the process of proving myself, you know, with ‘SNL,’ being on time, being, you know, keeping my — can’t say the word — but stuff together.”

Lohan offers details on reports that she’s set to play Elizabeth Taylor in her next project.

“We’re in the middle of casting and figuring — we start production soon,” Lohan said. “I’ve been doing tons of research. But I’ve always kind of researched her. She’s always been a fascinating woman to me. So I’m really honored. And I will not let anyone down, especially myself.”

Asked about that need to qualify her commitment, Lohan says she understands how it might be scary for people to invest in her.

“I don’t want people to have that reason to be scared anymore. So being able to have this opportunity with ‘SNL’ and the film, I’m gonna do what I’m supposed to do, and enjoy doing it, and do it as best as I can.”

[From Today]

OMG. BITCH PLEASE. Same crack lies, same crack hustle, different g–damn day. "I had to get that wakeup call" – which wakeup call? Which trip to rehab? Which arrest? Which jail sentence? There hasn't been ONE wakeup call. There is only a series of crack shenanigans which never, EVER serve as a "wakeup call" to this dumb crackhead.

But the most ridiculous thing is – "That’s not my thing anymore. I went out, actually, a few months ago with a friend. And I was so uncomfortable. Not because I felt tempted, just because it was just the same thing that it always was before. And it just wasn’t fun for me. I’ve become more of a homebody. And I like that.” Says the girl living at the Chateau Marmont. Says the girl who gets blitzed and takes off her clothes for Terry Richardson every week. Says the girl who went out partying with her mother AFTER her court date last week. Says the girl who started throwing drinks AND punches during last fall's NY Fashion Week. And what's worse is that she thinks it's working. She thinks we're buying it. THIS is why I'll never say "Oh, poor Lindsay." She's a liar, a user, and a terrible person. She's a violent sociopath.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck welcome a boy!

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 04:33 AM PST


Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have welcomed their third child together, a boy! I’m surprised that Garner had her baby, as I honestly thought she had a couple more weeks left to go. She’s been looking ready for some time, though. This is the third child for the Afflecks. They also have two daughters together: Seraphina, 3, and Violet, 6. It’s thought that dad Ben was hoping for a son, although Jennifer has said that he seemed open to another daughter, too. There’s no word yet as to the baby’s name. Here’s more, from US Weekly:

The couple of seven years welcomed their third child, a baby boy, in Santa Monica, Calif., a source confirms to Us Weekly.

Garner and Affleck’s new little one joins older daughters Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3.

Announcing her pregnancy in August 2011, Garner, 39, managed to stay mum on the gender of her family’s third baby, and while she admitted she’d be thrilled to have another girl, said Affleck was excited either way.

“I would have thought [he wanted a boy]. At first…I really thought so,” the Arthur actress told Jay Leno in January. “And then [Ben] kind of said, ‘Well, we have girls. We know how to do girls. My girls love me. I’m the big guy in the house.’ So, now I’m not sure.”

Aw, congratulations to Jennifer and Ben on their new arrival! They’re one of my favorite Hollywood couples and they seem so solid lately. Their girls have such nice names that are unique without sounding too experimental or strange. I bet they’ll go with a traditional name for their boy, but we’ll see. I’m actually excited to hear what they named the little guy.

Angelina Jolie covers Vogue Turkey, does interview with Al-Jazeera

Posted: 29 Feb 2012 04:15 AM PST

This isn’t going to be an epic post about Angelina Jolie and The Leg of Conspiracies And Awfulness. I just wanted to throw this March cover from Vogue Turkey out there because it's just a striking image. It was shot by Mert & Marcus, as part of a real photo shoot for the magazine it seems. Mert & Marcus shot Angelina last year for Vanity Fair, but I don't think these are "extra" photos from that older shoot. Here's a poor quality snap of the magazine pictorial:

Nice. Sort of. I'm impressed that Angelina did a photo shoot for Vogue Turkey – a magazine that isn't on every American celebrity's radar, you know? Angelina has been promoting In the Land of Blood and Honey in several Islamic-heavy markets lately – she even did an interview with Al-Jazeera too. Don't worry – it's just as boring as her interviews with Western outlets:

In other Jolie news… eh. Bill O'Reilly was yelling about Angelina's body at the Oscars, saying on Monday, "Is it just me or is she looking mighty slim these days? Emaciated even? I was kind of taken aback. Look at the arms on her! Once again the media largely ignoring Ms. Jolie's physical profile, but she is a role model for some women. I mean, she is slight." Meh.

Oh, and I guess Brad Pitt has been sent out to do some damage control on Leg-gate, because he was talking about babies with Access Hollywood, post-Oscars. He was asked if he and Angelina plan to have more kids, and he said, "We average about two a year, so I guess we’re overdue, aren’t we?” And Angelina concurred: "If they come our way, we’d be happy to have them all. We love children.” Wait, what? "If they come our way"? Like, if a neighbor child strays into their yard, Angelina is like, "MINE!"?
