Aaron Sorkin and Kristin Davis smooch on the red carpet: cute couple?

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 08:55 AM PDT

Aaron Sorkin Kristen Davis

At last night’s premiere of HBO’s “The Newsroom,” a little bit of steam was present on the red carpet, and it wasn’t coming from hopeful suspect Olivia Munn. Instead, there was a hot new couple on the scene in the unlikely form of Aaron Sorkin and Kristen Davis. Okay, so “hot” is a relative term when it comes to Sorkin, but he’s an obviously intelligent man, which is an attractive trait in its own right. As for Kristen, I’ve always found to not only be impossibly pretty but also a very underrated actress. She went from playing a psychotic, obsessive freak in the original “Melrose Place” to playing goody-two-shoes Charlotte in “Sex and the City,” but she’s unfortunately been relegated to “mom in the background” types of roles ever since then. Anyway, she looks quite taken with Aaron and he with her. From Us Weekly’s take on the topic, it sounds like they’ve been attracted to each other for quite awhile and have just recently decided to take the plunge into dating in a very public way:

New love in the city for Kristin Davis!

After weeks of speculation, the “Sex and the City” star, 47, and famed screenwriter Aaron Sorkin confirmed their rumored romance — with a passionate kiss on the lips on the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of HBO series “The Newsroom” Wednesday night.

With plenty of cameras present to capture the moment, 51-year-old Sorkin (creator and executive producer of Newsroom) grabbed Davis and gave a long, lingering kiss. Davis, pretty in an A-line aquamarine dress and strappy stilettos, grabbed her new man by the shoulders.

“They are really happy,” a source told E! News in late May. “They have actually known each other a while through mutual friends and would sometimes bump into one another at industry events, but it has only just turned into something more.”

The Oscar-winning screenwriter divorced Julia Bingham back in 2005; they share daughter Roxy, 12. Never-married Davis adopted a baby girl, Gemma, last year.

Good for Kristen and Aaron. They have that look of smitten romance, and who knows? This could be something real. As for “The Newsroom” vamp-in-residence, Olivia Munn, she was there too and gorgeous in white but also looking pretty full of herself as well. Kaiser mentioned that Olivia was holding herself out as if “she’s arrived,” but I’d like to note that her name isn’t exactly top billing on that poster behind her. Still, this show is a great opportunity for Olivia to show her stuff, if she’s got it, and only time will tell on that note.

Jessica Simpson’s Weight Watchers goal: lose 50 pounds in five months?

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 08:40 AM PDT

On one side, I think Jessica Simpson totally brought all of the "baby weight" speculation on herself, and she has no one but herself to blame now that the "Jessica hates her postpartum body" stories are circulating like crazy. On the other side, I feel bad for poor Farty. My guess is that she just wants to sit at home with her baby and enjoy this time, but Weight Watchers is calling and she set herself up with all of these weight loss expectations, and it's all a huge problem. Anyway, Jessica tweeted this message today:

[Via Jessica's Twitter]

Doesn't it sound like she wishes she was spending more time with the baby and less time at the gym? That's what it sounds like to me. So, back to the weight loss stuff – thus far, Jessica has been pretty good about making it to the gym a few times a week. She's vigilant about not being photographed in full-body shots, although a paparazzo did get some shots of her from behind, and everyone freaked out on Jess and started yelling at her. Now In Touch Weekly (via The Mail) has a mean story about Jessica's struggles to diet and lose weight:

So far this month she has been spotted several times heading to the gym in a desperate bid to lose her baby weight. Since giving birth to her daughter Maxwell Drew on May 1, Jessica Simpson is said to be determined to slim down.

And it has now been revealed that the 31-year-old is on a strict timeline to lose the pounds for her upcoming Weight Watchers campaign – in which she is getting paid a reported $4 million to reach her 130 pound goal weight. The singer and actress has been given the task of losing 50lbs in just five months, according to In Touch magazine. But according to the publication, friends say that the star, who is also trying to care for her newborn little girl, is feeling ‘stressed and overwhelmed’.

‘She’s so emotional,’ a friend told the magazine. ‘She doesn’t want to go to the gym. She doesn’t want to leave her baby. Sometimes she just starts crying. It’s hard for her.’

Sources tell the publication that the singer, who weight a reported 210 pounds at the height of her pregnancy, is also physically exhausted.

‘She’s consumed with the new baby,’ another source told the magazine. ‘She and Eric are often up with Maxi (Maxwell) all night.’

Jessica, who is said to have enjoyed a diet including Mac and cheese, Pop-Tarts, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Cap’n Crunch and fried chicken while she was pregnant, is said to be desperate to get her body back.

‘She gets so upset,’ her friend said. ‘She wants her body back so badly, but it’s beyond hard.’

Instead of the junk, In Touch reports that Jessica is now feasting on a healthy diet consisting of oatmeal with berries for breakfast, grilled chicken on salad for lunch, hummus, carrots and fresh fruit for snacks and salmon, broccoli and brown rice for dinner. However she reportedly throws in the odd treat in between for the sake of not caving altogether.

‘She’ll have the occasional slice of pizza. If she feels deprived, it won’t last,’ the source added.

Jessica has also enlisted trainer Harley Pasternak to whip her into shape. And another motivation to drop the weight and get into shape, friends say, is her new daughter.

‘Jessica wants to set a good example for Maxi,’ an insider told In Touch. ‘She wants to teach her daughter to have a healthy lifestyle.’

[From The Mail]

Personally, I hope Jessica really didn't set up the "130 pounds" goal. I think that's asking for trouble for a lot of different reasons. For one, Jessica wasn't 130 pounds when she got pregnant – shouldn't Jessica's first goal be "getting back to the weight she was when she conceived"? And that wasn't 130. Two, losing 50 pounds in five months is completely unreasonable (I think) for a new mother. Her goal should be maintaining a healthy lifestyle, getting enough nutrients for breastfeeding, and working out when she can, but not at the expense of other things, like bonding with her child. It really feels like Weight Watchers is keeping poor Farty hostage.

Besides all of that, as soon as Jessica stops breastfeeding, she's going to start drinking again. So all of the dieting and exercise in the world isn't going to keep the liquor weight off. Farty loves her Scotch.

PS… Whenever I look at these photos of Jessica from behind, I hear AbFab’s Eddy saying “Thin ankles, darling, THIN ANKLES!”

Rielle Hunter: “If you aren’t having sex with your partner, chances are someone else is”

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 06:31 AM PDT


As you’ve heard, that batsh*t excuse for a political mistress, Rielle Hunter, has been promoting her new memoir, What Really Happened. Rielle, who has a child with former Presidential hopeful John Edwards, is now using every excuse to justify the fact that she had a long term relationship with John when he had a wife at home who was suffering from cancer, and who subsequently died with the knowledge that her husband had a baby with one of his mistresses. We have some new excerpts from her book today, and it’s all about how the affair is not her fault and she’s not going to feel guilty about it. According to Rielle, John and Elizabeth’s relationship was already broken and John wasn’t sleeping with Elizabeth, so their affair basically doesn’t matter. Isn’t that what every cheater tells their mistress? “My wife is a bad person. She doesn’t understand me. We don’t have sex.” Only the dumbest ‘hos fall for it. And here you have her. Rielle has an interview with 20/20 to air on Friday (Radar has a video preview here) and she also has a new interview with People magazine. Some highlights of her book and interviews are below:

On how she justifies the affair
“Because there wasn’t any physical or emotional intimacy between Johnny and Elizabeth, I had absolutely no jealous feelings about her. The ‘wife as innocent victim’ did not match the reality,” as the pair had a fractured relationship.

Rielle wrote their marriage was “filled with issues that clearly neither Johnny nor Elizabeth wanted to address. They did not want to disclose the truth to themselves, much less the public.”

Rielle reasoned Elizabeth should have been wise to John’s cheating because of her own desolate love life.

“If you aren’t having sex with your partner,” she explains, “chances are high someone else is.”

On how she felt sorry for Elizabeth but didn’t care at all
Rielle said she first met Elizabeth at an event in North Carolina in late 2006, and Elizabeth did not look her in the eye “and appeared to be frightened.

“I felt really bad for her,” she writes.

“I felt miserable for Elizabeth and what she must be experiencing,” she wrote, “but my loyalties were with Johnny.”

On what John told Elizabeth about the affair
Rielle said John told her that Elizabeth repeatedly pressed him about how he could be drawn to someone like her.

“The honest reply, ‘She makes me happy,’ was not received without punishment” from Elizabeth, Rielle writes.

On how Elizabeth Edwards reacted to learning about the affair
Elizabeth requested all the tapes I’d made of the campaign. She locked herself in a room to watch. On one tape she saw Johnny walking into a room and his reaction to seeing me. She apparently told him that he never once looked at her the way he looked at me. So she took that bit and put it on her computer as a screen saver in order to watch it over and over again.

On her realationship with John now
“I’m still in love with John. That didn’t go away, shockingly enough. Marriage? I have no idea. I’m not a big fan of the institution, but never say never.”

How often she sees him
Hunter, who lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with their 4-year-old daughter Quinn, still sees Edwards, 59, regularly. “Sometimes five days in a row. Sometimes every two weeks. It varies,” she says, adding “he can play with [Quinn] for hours.”

[From Radar Online and People Magazine]

Well maybe John and Elizabeth had a “fractured relationship” because he was stepping out on her with a bunch of clueless twits like this one. Maybe Elizabeth didn’t want to have sex with John because she was suffering from stage four breast cancer. The selfishness of this woman just baffles me.

The stuff about how Elizabeth watched the tapes from the campaign over and over is just cruel to reveal. (Plus I doubt it’s technically accurate, Elizabeth may have viewed it over and over, but I doubt she made it a screensaver. That incorrect detail just annoyed me.) Elizabeth has passed away from cancer, but her grown kids are still around, and they’re John’s kids too. They don’t need to have all these nasty reminders of how horribly their dad and his mistress treated their mom when she was at her sickest. I don’t think of Elizabeth as a victim because I remember seeing interviews with her and she was one tough defiant lady, but I also imagine what she was going through. I’m amazed that someone could be as entitled and defiant about cheating with a married man whose wife was dying of cancer. Yes it’s John’s fault just as much as Rielle’s, but doesn’t she realize how she’s coming across? I suppose anyone who would do such a thing would also be clueless enough to brag about it like it was no biggie.

Oh and Rielle has new staged beach photos where she’s wearing a tankini and a smirk. Of course she did that.

I just remembered – you know who this chick reminds me of? She’s like that serial mistress lady but more defensive, like Samantha Brick.

Radar: Johnny Depp was “bored senseless” with Vanessa Paradis

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 06:24 AM PDT

Was I naïve to think that Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis's separation would be civil and not controversial in the least? Because that's what I thought. Yes, Johnny Depp seems to be in the midst of a full-blown mid-life crisis, and yes, there was a lot of money involved and all of that, but I thought that at the end of the day, the split would be handled with some dignity and class. Not so much, as it turns out. Johnny and Vanessa are getting the full Brangelina treatment in the tabloid press, to the point where I really have to wonder if there isn't a Team Depp camp and a Team Paradis camp leaking damaging information like crazy. First move: make Johnny sympathetic because he was slowly going out of his mind with bordeom because of Vanessa.

Johnny Depp's breakup with his long term partner Vanessa Paradis was brewing for a long time, and RadarOnline.com has exclusive details about the real reason why they split.

"Johnny didn't want to be with Vanessa anymore. They had grown so far apart, and he wanted to be free and try new things,” a source close to the former couple tells RadarOnline.com. “He was bored senseless with her, being with Vanessa was making him miserable. The spark had gone, and there was nothing left. Johnny just wants more from life and believes Vanessa deserves to be happier too. He’s not embroiled in some hot and heavy new romance and he has no plans to jump straight into something straight away, but he is keen to have some fun again.”

“Johnny was not handling keeping their split secret too well, it was difficult for him to carry on a farce, so now that it is out in the public he is feeling a lot happier about the situation."

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, has been planning the split for a while.

"Johnny has wanted this relationship to end since last year," the source says. "He has tried to get out of this for a long time."

However, one thing is for sure — even though Johnny no longer wants to be romantically involved with Vanessa, he is determined to continue to be a hands-on dad when it comes to their two children, Lilly Rose and Jack.

“Make no mistake, Johnny is not walking away from his kids, at all,” the source says. “He loves his children, more than life itself, and he is determined to remain a constant everyday presence in their lives.”

[Via Radar]

But! The British tabloids claim that things between Johnny and Amber Heard have been "heating up," and that Amber was ultimately "the other woman". One UK outlet even claims that Johnny "bought Amber a horse so they can ride together." ??? Lainey continues to say that Amber and Johnny are not boning because Amber is a full-on lesbian… although Amber herself doesn't self-identify as a lesbian (or as bisexual, or as straight). I tend to think Amber probably is bisexual, in that she's had sexual and romantic relationship with men and women, and will continue to do so. Basically, I'm not buying the "Amber is a lesbian, that's why she's not boning Johnny Depp" defense. They were in Las Vegas together several weeks ago, and she was photographed boarding his private plane. Sure, they could just be friends. But what if?

As for the money question, which we discussed yesterday – I still don't know if Vanessa walked away with a settlement, if there is some nondisclosure contract, etc. Johnny is allegedly worth $300 million, although I think that figure is low-balling. According to The Sun and The Mail, "sources" claim that Johnny basically handed Vanessa half of his fortune (a reported $150 million) to "keep the split as amicable as possible for the sake of their children." Yeah… I don't believe that. Sure, I'll buy that Vanessa walked away with a really nice settlement, but I don't think she got half of his fortune.

Halle Berry ordered to pay Gabriel Aubry $20k a month in child support

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:40 AM PDT


We heard early last month that Halle Berry’s ex, Gabriel Aubry, had gone to court requesting a whopping $20,000 a month from Halle in child support>. The former couple has one daughter, Nahla, four, and has been involved in a bitter ongoing custody battle. Halle has been working to cut Gabriel out of Nahla’s life, and is hoping to move to France with the girl. Gabriel has fought for his parental rights at every step of the way. Back when Gabriel first filed for child support, his request was postponed as he didn’t have the right paperwork in order. Well apparently he’s gotten all that sorted, because now he’s about to get paid the amount he was looking for. This is their first child support agreement. Here’s more:

Some of Halle Berry’s “New Year’s Eve” money will be going to baby daddy Gabriel Aubry, because a judge has just ordered the actress to shell out nearly a quarter of a million bucks a year in child support.

Lawyers for Halle and Gabriel were in court Monday, and sources connected with Gabriel tell TMZ … the family law judge ordered Halle to pay Nahla’s daddy $20,000 a month.

Although Nahla is 4, until Monday there was never a child support order issued by a judge, but now one is in place.

We’re told both sides are still at war, and they will soon be battling in court over whether Halle can take Nahla and move to Paris.

[From TMZ]

I watched TMZ live to get a better understanding of this, and there’s no word as to whether this is retroactive, meaning whether Halle would have to pay $20k a month from the time of the split. Halle’s net worth is estimated at $70 million while Gabriel’s is a relatively “meager” (by that comparison) $4.5 million.

A woman called in to TMZ live and kind of explained this whole thing well, including what it means for Halle’s plans. She said:

I don’t think it matters. It’s going to be setting her up for when the judge orders that [Halle] can take the child to France, as is her end game. Then they’ll fight over who has to pay for the visitation… it’s fine that she has to pay, it’s a numbers game: time spent with the child and income.

It’s going to make it so much easier for the judge to say ‘yes, you can move to France.’ Then they’ll argue about the flights… I just think it’s setting her up for the move.

TMZ’s Harvey Levin agreed and that was it. He should know, he’s a lawyer and his team has been getting updates straight from Halle’s people. She’ll grumble and pay the money but she still expects to get her way.

Halle has got to pissed that she’s going to owe a ton of money in child support, but it’s not going to stop her. She’ll keep on going until she gets to France. And then her relationship with Olivier will probably fall apart. I’m just going on her past history with men, which isn’t good.

In these photos Halle is shown carrying a collage that Nahla made for school. The Daily Mail explains what it is:
The actress carried a colourful collage called ‘All About Nahla’, on which the four-year-old wrote about how she wants a baby sister, a bunk bed and to be a ballerina. The watercolour collage poignantly featured a photo of Nahla’s father, Gabriel, pictured with Halle and their little girl before the couple’s split.” Sad, right?

Keira Knightley gets her Russian tragedy on in the ‘Anna Karenina’ trailer: OMG!

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:05 AM PDT

I read Anna Karenina years and years ago. I probably read it before I could actually understand the denseness of Leo Tolstoy's prose, and as such, I really only remember small fragments of the book. I should go back and re-read it, shouldn't I? I should. Anyway, after I read it, I somehow managed to avoid all of film and television adaptations, so when I go into to see this new version – directed by Joe Wright, adapted for the screen by Tom Stoppard – the story will be fresh and new to me.

I actually think Joe Wright is a very talented director, one of the rare modern directors who can make a period costume drama feel contemporary and fresh. I loved his film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, which also starred Keira Knightley (and earned her an Oscar nomination). Wright and Knightley worked together again in Atonement, a film that I ended up hating. It's not really Keira's fault or Joe Wright's fault – I can't stand Ian McEwan's writing. The plots of his books are always asinine.

Anyway, back to Anna Karenina. Keira and Joe Wright reunite for their third film together, and this time it's a doozy. Keira is Anna. Jude Law plays her husband. Aaron Johnson plays Vronsky, Anna's lover. The cast also includes Matthew Macfadyen (Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice!!), Kelly MacDonald, Emily Watson, Ruth Wilson, Olivia Williams and Michelle Dockery (from Downton Abbey!). Here's the trailer:

Have I mentioned how much I love a good costume drama? I love a good costume drama. I wish Jane Austen had written more books so there could be more film adaptations of her books. I love watching a corseted Englishwoman, staring longingly at someone with unfortunate sideburns, all by candlelight. So… yes, I will be seeing this movie. I think everybody looks good and interesting. From what little I remember of the book, it was my belief that Anna's husband is much older than Jude Law's version…? I thought Alexei was supposed to be, like, 50-something? As for Aaron Johnson… well, I have high hopes for that one. He seems passionate and unhinged. Good boy.

Lindsay Lohan’s car accident was her fault for speeding, being too crackie to brake

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 04:55 AM PDT

Obviously, these are new photos of Lindsay Lohan in LA, filming Liz & Dick. She's "in character" can't you tell? She's in character because she has DARK HAIR. Just like Elizabeth Taylor!! Nothing else is like Elizabeth, though. And is it just me, or can you see Lindsay's crack-face in these blurry photos? Like, the first thing you see are her ridiculous lips (pursed into a smug little smile) and her huge cheeks. As for that fur coat… I hope it's fake. Real or fake, it's totally going home with Lindsay (if it hasn't already). She's probably already wiped out a chunk of the wardrobe department.

Anyway, remember how Lindsay crashed her Porsche on the Pacific Coast Highway? Remember how she tried to pay off the other driver? Remember how she blamed the other driver, then she blamed the brakes, then she lied to the cops about being the one driving? Remember the mysterious pink bag and the water bottle full of vodka? Yeah. Radar's sources say that the investigation has led back to Lindsay being the source of everything to do with the accident:

The investigation into what caused Lindsay Lohan to crash into a truck on Pacific Coast Highway is winding down, and the contributing factor to the accident was the fact that the embattled actress was speeding, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

As we previously reported, Lohan, 25, rear ended the dump truck on Pacific Coast Highway on Friday, June 8. The Porsche, driven by Lindsay, was totaled and the accident sent the Mean Girls star and her assistant to the emergency room. Both were later released and miraculously didn’t suffer serious injuries.

A source close to the situation tells us, “The investigation is almost complete, and Lindsay was speeding in the moments before the accident. She was probably going ten miles over the posted speed limit, which would have been around fifty miles per hour. There were no skid marks, which indicate that Lindsay was indeed speeding and didn’t have time to even hit the brakes before she crashed into the truck. Lindsay is truly lucky to be alive, and that no one else got seriously injured. Lindsay could be cited by the Santa Monica Police Department for causing the accident, but it doesn’t seem very likely. The police report and investigation findings will be turned over to Lindsay and the trucker, James Johnson’s respective insurance companies. Lindsay’s Porsche was totaled in the accident and was a complete loss.”

Media reports circulated earlier this week that cops found a plastic bottle containing alcohol in the trunk of the car, however, Sergeant Richard Lewis of the Santa Monica Police Department told RadarOnlline.com, “There was no container retrieved from the vehicle. There was a container found in the debris by the side of the road but that doesn’t mean it came from the car.”

[From Radar]

"Cited by the Santa Monica Police Department" = A friendly pat on the firecrotch. EVERY law enforcement agency stopped giving a crap about Lindsay Lohan approximately two years ago. She can literally do anything she want with no legal consequences. I guess the state of California figures it's cheaper to simply ignore her and fail to prosecute her than actually hold this crackhead accountable for anything. Did you even notice – there were no skid marks? She was speeding and not paying a bit of attention and she was TOO CRACKED OUT to even hit the brakes. She's going to kill someone at some point.

Jennifer Aniston allegedly offered an 8-figure deal to become the face of Aveeno

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 04:35 AM PDT

I'm not a big fan of Aveeno products. They just don't agree with my skin at all, although I know some people who swear by Aveeno, and God bless. I will say this – Aveeno has a good reputation, and they've branded themselves well. When I think of Aveeno, I think of clean-living, well-made, uncomplicated skin and hair care products. So who should be "the face" of such a brand? Someone with a reputation for clean living and an uncomplicated lifestyle? Perhaps. Page Six reports that Jennifer Aniston has been offered an eight-figure deal to represent Aveeno. Hm.

Jennifer Aniston has been offered an eight-figure deal to become the next face of Aveeno, a brand that sells natural-based skin- and hair-care products.

A source told us, "Jennifer would be great for the brand because she appears to be very natural. The deal, still being negotiated, would be worth a lot of money, certainly eight figures."

Aveeno's current TV face is dark-haired, Dutch-born model-actress Daniella van Graas. Reps for Aniston and Aveeno didn't get back to us.

[From Page Six]

It's certainly an interesting development for Aniston, and I don't think it would get in the way of her other endorsement deals – she's one of the faces of SmartWater and…? Is that it? It's sort of surprising to me that she doesn't currently have any kind of beauty contract. No makeup deal? No hair care endorsement? She did have her perfume, Lolavie, which became "Aniston by Jennifer Aniston" or whatever. And I never heard of her perfume after the initial buzz. Anyway, sure – it sounds like a good deal, and Aveeno products would line up perfectly with how Aniston has "branded" herself. And an 8-figure deal would buy a lot of booze.

In other Aniston news, the host of The Bachelorette wants Aniston. This is such a dumb story:

Would Justin Theroux get the final rose? Chris Harrison, ABC host of The Bachelorette, has put Jennifer Aniston on his wish list for the next Bachelorette — even though she’s in a new relationship with Theroux.

“I’ve always said Jennifer Aniston would be good,” Harrison told Hollyscoop, “because she seems so unlucky in love.”

But a pal of the star told Us Weekly that the 43-year-old actress’ relationship with actor Theroux, 40, is a big change from her exes like Brad Pitt and John Mayer. “He makes her feel safe and secure when she’s with him. A lot of her insecurities melt away,” the pal told Us of the Wanderlust costars. “Their relationship is completely different than any of her other ones. Everything about Justin feels right.”

[From Us Weekly]

Yes, Jennifer and Justin are super-duper IN LURVE. It's "different"! Because it's always "different" whenever Jennifer gets a boyfriend. I believe JustJen are for real, but let's face it – she's the girl who cried (different) wolf.

PS… LOL, I just noticed that Justin is carrying a Louis Vuitton bag. OMG HE'S TEAM JOLIE.

Khloe Kardashian begins fertility treatments as Lamar looks to the LA Clippers

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 04:33 AM PDT

These are some new photos of Khloe Kardashian at last night's Life & Style "A Summer of Style" red carpet/event/thing. I like Khloe's dress. I hate that she's using a red Birkin with it, though. It seems tacky. Anyway, I haven't written about Khloe in a little while because, quite honestly, I was feeling sorry for her. Last week TMZ reported that Khloe and Lamar were beginning fertility treatments at the ART Reproductive Center in Beverly Hills, and I saw a lot of people making fun of her because of it. The girl has fertility issues, y'all. She's been trying to get pregnant for years, I'm glad she's finally being proactive about it, and I'm sorry if this ruins the Kardashian Hate-On, but I think Khloe's fertility issues should be off-limits for criticism. Just my take.

In the meantime, Lamar Odom is still searching for some kind of career comeback since getting dumped by the Lakers last year. After a back-and-forth gig with the Dallas Mavericks – that ended up being a disaster – Radar reports that Lamar is now in talks to sign with the LA Clippers. Lamar REALLY wants to stay in LA:

Khloe Kardashian is going to get to live close to her family once again! Lamar Odom is in talks to sign with the LA Clippers, which means the happily married couple can remain in Los Angeles permanently, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

“Lamar’s agent is in talks with the Clippers,” a source close to the NBA star told RadarOnline.com. “He and Khloe are thrilled that he’ll be returning to the team and that they will get to stay in LA and be close to their families.”

According to the source, the 32-year-old hoops star is eager to return to the team where he started his professional career — playing from 1999 – 2003.

“Lamar wants to return to Los Angeles and the Clippers want him. They just need to work out finances and contractual issues,” the source says.

While Khloe, 27, is hoping to start a family so she’s glad she’ll be able to be in Los Angeles full time.

“Khloe wants to be near her own family when she and Lamar start their family and this new job for him will make that all happen so easily. She was happy to move to Dallas and would move anywhere for Lamar, but having him on a team in LA is a dream come true,” the source says.

[From Radar]

I didn't know that there was a team called the "LA Clippers" but then again, I know nothing about sports. It's a step down, right? It feels like a step down. But! Many outlets claim that Lamar is looking pretty good for the US Olympic team – Hollywood Life's sources claim that Lamar is "in the best shape of his career" and that "the chances of him making the team are incredible right now… Not only because [of] the injuries that have plagued the potential selections, but because he actually is ready for it." I actually hope he makes the team. I think it would be a great morale boost for him.

Angelina Jolie donates $100K to Syrian refugees, writes essay for World Refugee Day

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 04:33 AM PDT

I totally forgot that yesterday was World Refugee Day. Damn! And there I was, focusing solely on Angelina Jolie's "Maleficent: Texas Ranger" ensemble. The UNHCR already released Angelina's World Refugee Day PSA a week ago, and while she was working on her film in England, Angelina made sure to time two pieces of news for the significant day. One, she wrote a first person essay which was published on the UNHCR's website. Two, she donated $100,000 to the UNHCR's operations geared towards Syria and the unfolding humanitarian crisis there. Here's her essay:

UNHCR believes even 1 person forced to flee is too many. And it’s true. Every individual refugee matters. Each has their own story. Each has suffered and survived more than I could ever bear. And yet, they rise up to live another day.

We risk forgetting the individual when we speak in numbers, but the numbers tell an important story. In the past year 4.3 million people have become displaced. There are still 2.7 million refugees from Afghanistan. 12 million people are stateless. And for the fifth consecutive year the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide exceeded 42 million.

Sadly, a person who becomes a refugee is likely to remain one for many years – often stuck in a camp or living precariously in the city of a developing nation. 70 per cent of refugees under UNHCR’s protection have been in this situation for more than five years. Their safety and well-being depend on the continued generosity of those countries who have kept their borders open to refugees, and on the vital efforts to deliver humanitarian assistance wherever and whenever it is necessary.

Unfortunately, the world is producing displaced people faster than it is producing solutions to displacement. And the solutions are not exclusively humanitarian – they are also political. The international community should rededicate itself to preventing conflict, addressing it when it erupts, and solving it more quickly, for that is the only way to create durable solutions for the refugees whose strength inspires us on this World Refugee Day.

Angelina Jolie, 20th June 2012

It's basically her "state of the refugees" address as a special envoy for the UNHCR. She's listing facts, not opinions, and offering a generalization as to where the majority of people should be able to find common ground – that refugee crises occur when there's conflict, and dealing with the conflicts would be more productive than dealing with another refugee crisis.

In addition to those good works, The HALO Trust announced a new initiative to bring "added transparency to humanitarian landmine clearance." You can now view landmine-affected areas on Google Earth, and the narration for the program is done by Angelina. Jolie is described as a "longtime HALO supporter" – she toured HALO’s headquarters last year, she’s toured landmine-affected areas and she funded a massive de-mining initiative in Cambodia too. You can read more about the new program here.

Once again, here's Angelina's PSA:
