Lindsay Lohan ‘passed out from exhaustion’ after working ’85 hours in 4 days’

Posted: 17 Jun 2012 07:58 AM PDT

I'm glad CB covered the latest cracktastrophe from Lindsay Lohan, because I'm really over it at this point. I guess I should say that I'm in a constant state of "Jesus, what did she do NOW?" with Lindsay at this point. This is the second week (IN A ROW) in which Lindsay did something dumb on a Friday afternoon after most people were done for the day. Two Fridays ago, she totaled her (rented) Porsche on the PCH. This Friday she was so "exhausted" she was unresponsive for hours. Allegedly. Sort of.

CB initially thought that this Friday's incident was proof that Lindsay was going even further downhill fast, and that the end was nigh. But as time passed, even CB realized that Lindsay is simply the same ol' cracked-out mess that she always is, no better and no worse. I agree with some of the commenters claiming that the now-official version of what went down – Lindsay was initially "unresponsive" but the paramedics didn't take her to the hospital and she's totally fine – is the cover story for something more crackie. But for now, Lindsay herself is pushing the "exhaustion" story. She got on Twitter (I forgot she was on Twitter) and wrote this:

CB and I were trying to figure out if the "85 hours in 4 days" figure is some crack-math by Lindsay. What does "85 hours" include? Does it include the hours of downtime waiting to go on set? Does it include all of the hours of "preparation" (coke) to get into character? Did Lindsay really mean to write "85 lines in 4 days"? Ugh, whatever.

My real theory about this incident is that Lindsay really was "passed out". I think she had been drinking and mixing medications and she unconscious, not asleep. And I think Lindsay is like that a lot of the time – mixing prescription meds with illegal drugs and alcohol to create a cracked-out cocktail that makes her barely lucid. But my theory doesn't have an answer for "Why didn't the paramedics just take her to the hospital?" I don't know.

Duchess Kate wears ice-blue Erdem for Trooping the Colours: lovely or busted?

Posted: 17 Jun 2012 07:04 AM PDT

I'm surprised by how many public events Duchess Kate has been doing lately. She's been photographed so much over the past three weeks or so… and now I'm wondering if Kate and William aren't going to find the time to take another vacation before the Olympics start in late July. Do you think they'll be able to fit another vacation in? I do. Anyway, Kate was all over the place this weekend. On Friday night, Kate went to Kensington Gardens, where she attended a tent show of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe with some children from The Art Room, one of her charitable patronages. Kate did the event solo – William stayed home to watch a Euro soccer/football match. You can see some photos from Kate's Friday event here.

Then, on Saturday Kate and William had the Trooping the Colours event. Don't even ask me to explain what it signifies or anything – just look at the pretty pictures and enjoy the royal family together. Kate wore a pale blue Erdem dress and a Jane Corbett hat. I'm sorry we don't have a full-length shot of the dress – I want to know where it falls on her legs. My guess is just about the knee. I don't really care for the Erdem – the color is fine on her, but the print is… well, it's not my style. The weird neckline is not my thing either. And I think the hat is a disaster.

The Trooping the Colour event was Prince Philip's first public event since his hospitalization during the Diamond Jubilee events. This is the first time I'm really seeing how much Philip has shrunk – he was always such a tall man, but he looks so small standing next to Kate and William. I also want to note something interesting – Prince Harry's official position on the balcony is three spaces away from his sister-in-law. Do you think the protocol people demanded that Kate and Harry no longer be allowed to stand next together on the balcony? I do.

But that's not all – Kate did her THIRD event within a 48-hour period by going on a mini-camping trip with some underprivileged city kids this morning. It was part of the "Expanding Horizons" program, part of the ARK schools thing which Kate and William are both involved with. The Mail says the program's intention is to give "children from inner-city backgrounds the opportunity to venture into the countryside and develop their confidence and teamwork skills." Kate wore $500 wellies by Le Chameau and a Burberry shirt for the camping exercise. You can see some photos from the event here.

Here's some video of the events:

Jennifer Aniston & Justin visited the Vatican, Aniston showed too much skin

Posted: 17 Jun 2012 06:28 AM PDT

After spending a surprisingly paparazzi-friendly week in France, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux flew to Rome last Thursday, where their European "summer vacation" continued unabated. If they just stuck to Rome proper, I don't think this leg of their holiday would be that big of a deal. But they also went to Vatican City, and controversy followed. Although Justin was dressed in his normal hipster duds (skinny jeans, a "keeping it real" t-shirt), Aniston's normal clothes were a problem – she wore a short gray-blue skirt and a tank (with no bra). That's a lot of skin (and nip) for the Vatican. The Vatican has rules about dress code. Seriously!

They are well known for their strict rules on dress code and many a tourist has been turned away for not adhering to the easy to follow rules. However, it looks like the Vatican has become a little lenient with their policy when it comes to Hollywood superstar Jennifer Aniston.

The 43-year-old was pictured walking around St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City wearing an extremely short grey dress that would have clearly been too high for the sacred religious site.

The catholic state is very clear on what is and is not acceptable to wear but, it appears that Jennifer was given special treatment as she took in the sites. As a VIP visitor the former Friends star even had a special uniformed guard follow her around the area as she and boyfriend Justin Theroux walked around. The ruling on respectable clothing is applicable to both men and women with neither sex being allowed to show their knees when in the basilica.

On saintpetersbasilica.org it states: ‘The Dress Code is strictly enforced at St. Peter’s Basilica. No shorts, bare shoulders or miniskirts. This applies to both men and women. Even if you get through security, you will be turned away by the attendants at the door.’

Although Miss Aniston did cover her shoulders in a matching grey cardigan, she was still massively in conflict with the straightforward regulations by wearing a dress that fell well above the knee. After a lovely week long break in Paris, France, Jennifer and Justin arrived in Rome yesterday and headed straight to see the world famous sights.

If I had my own city, I would have a dress code of "No skinny jeans, no bangs and no pleats allowed." But that would be FASHION not because I thought showing off your body is somehow gross or nasty. As for Aniston and her special treatment… eh. Maybe the Pope loves Friends? Probably not.

Selena Gomez: Playing Ana in ’50 Shades of Grey’ would be “a little too much for me”

Posted: 17 Jun 2012 06:00 AM PDT

As I've mentioned so many times already, I actually read that awful book, 50 Shades of Grey. In case you've been living in a cave in which you do not have access to Twihard p0rn, 50 Shades is a disaster based on Twilight fan-fiction in which Bella-and-Edward surrogates named Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey get their kink on. Except not really. Christian is a spanker and whenever he does anything but the missionary position, Anastasia cries. Some people (idiots) hope that the film adaptation of the book will draw some talented actors – like, people keep saying that Michael Fassbender or Alexander Skarsgard should play Christian Grey. It's not going to happen. My assumption is that producers will end up casting the film straight out of the CW – it will probably end up being Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev, or actors of that caliber (C-list).

I think people who haven't read the book don't realize how YOUNG these characters are supposed to be. Anastasia graduated from college within the first book – she's only 21 years old (and a virgin). Christian is supposed to be about 27 years old I think. So stop suggesting actors with full-fledged careers, basically. Think younger. Think untested actors. Think about… Selena Gomez? Mother of GOD. Apparently, Selena has gotten some rumors that she should play Anastasia. Thankfully, Selena cut them off:

Selena Gomez’s Fifty Shades of Grey spoof (titled Fifty Shades of Blue) is about as involved as the former Disney star will get in regards to the best-selling erotic trilogy.

When asked by MTV News if she would ever play the series’ female protagonist Anastasia Steele, the Wizards of Waverly Place alum didn’t exactly jump on the possibility.

“I know I’m taking risks but I don’t think I could do that,” the 19-year-old Spring Breakers actress said. “That would be a little too much for me.”

Fifty Shades’ steamy, BDSM scenes and explicit plot lines has made it one of the best-selling books around the world, selling 10 million copies to date. This past March, Universal Pictures had secured the deal to adapt the trilogy for the big screen and immediately many actors expressed an interest in taking on the roles.

“I think every girl on the carpet wants to play [Anastasia Steele],” Pretty Little Liars’ Lucy Hale told Celebuzz on June 3. “That would be freaking awesome. I’m really curious to see how they’re going to turn it into a film.”

In April, Vampire Diaries’ Ian Somerhalder addressed portraying the S&M loving, male protagonist, Christian Grey.

“I absolutely would be up for that. It could be very, very amazing,” the blue-eyed hunk told Ryan Seacrest. “I have the book and I just started reading it. That would be a pretty incredible thing, and hopefully that could pan out.”

It would be too much for Selena Gomez. With that face…? It would be so uncomfortable. She simply looks much, much too young. Plus, her image is still relatively wholesome and family-friendly. Selena hopes that her fans mature with her, and doing 50 Shades would torpedo that effort. Plus, I actually think Selena is too smart to get involved with what will surely be a critical trainwreck.

And personally… does anyone else think Ian Somerhalder has the sex appeal of a wet noodle? Sure, he's pretty. But there's absolutely NOTHING happening with him that would ever make me consider hittin' that.
