Lindsay Lohan is smoking two packs a day to calm herself on ‘Liz & Dick’ set

Posted: 24 Jun 2012 08:06 AM PDT

Here are more Cracken photos from the set of Liz & Dick: The Cracken Attacks from last week. A lot of you acted “shocked” to see Lindsay Lohan looking so rough in photos – um, really? She can’t keep it together long enough to have a no-drama Lifetime TV movie shoot – of course she looks like hell. She’s been partying non-stop to celebrate her “comeback”. Speaking of her incessant partying, there’s some evidence to suggest that Lindsay actually was is a bad state after working “85 hours in 4 days” and “passing out from exhaustion” two Fridays ago. TMZ got their hands on the 911 call made about the state of the Cracken, and it didn’t sound good:

TMZ has obtained the 911 call placed moments before paramedics rushed to Lindsay Lohan’s side last week at a Ritz-Carlton in L.A. — and according to the caller, the emergency was life-threatening. The caller — a male nurse who works for the production company behind Lindsay’s new movie — called the situation a “Code 3″ … which is emergency lingo for “life-threat response.”

Ambulance protocol for a Code 3 is lights and sirens. Translation: the nurse thought Lindsay was in serious trouble when he made the call.

TMZ broke the story … Lindsay informed someone from the “Liz & Dick” production team she wasn’t feeling well Friday morning — and producers dispatched a doctor to the hotel. Before arriving, the doctor called the hotel and asked someone to check on Lindsay.

Someone from the hotel went to Lindsay’s door, checked on her, and determined she was “unresponsive.” That’s when the 911 call was placed.
Paramedics eventually arrived and decided nothing was wrong. They left without transporting Lindsay to the hospital.

To play devil’s advocate, it sounds like the 911 call was placed before they had even entered the hotel room, correct? Which means that everyone involved with this incident merely ASSUMED that Lindsay was passed out cold from drugging, drinking, etc. TMZ also reports that Lifetime producers are really, really worried about Lindsay, There are “five big concerns”: that the filmm could lose its insurance because of LL, that Lohan’s probation could be violated, that she could be prosecuted for lying the police, that she’ll get into another car accident, and that she’s always clubbing. I know, SHOCKING. You know what’s shocking to me? That Lifetime’s producers weren’t concerned about any of that BEFORE THEY HIRED HER. They knew who she was and what kind of crackie she is.

Meanwhile, the Cracken is still smoking. Like crazy.

When the director yells cut, Lindsay Lohan takes a puff! Lohan, 25, has been hard at work on her new Lifetime movie, Liz & Dick, and the stress may be getting to her. A source tell Us Weekly the actress is smoking two packs of cigarettes a day on the set.

“Literally every time she finishes a scene she lights up another cigarette,” the source explains. “You can hear the crew saying, ‘That’s cut — get a cigarette for Lindsay.’ ”

Lohan is channeling Elizabeth Taylor opposite Grant Bowler (Richard Burton) for the role, which is her first lead role since 2009′s Labor Pains.

“In between takes she would sit on the director's chair puffing on her cigarettes,” the source tells Us. “Lindsay has been working hard, but without the nicotine she probably could not make it through as she appears stressed at times and they do seem to calm her down.”

For all that Lindsay does wrong, for all of her crackie activities and drama and shenanigans, I kind of think being a chain-smoker is the least crackie thing she does. I’m not claiming that it’s healthy or good or anything, but it’s not like she’s hitting the pipe in between takes. Smoking cigs probably does calm her.

Jessica Simpson Twit-pics a photo of her cleavage in public: tacky?

Posted: 24 Jun 2012 06:29 AM PDT

And so it begins. Sure, it "began" a long time ago, but since giving birth, Jessica hasn't been on Twitter very much and she definitely hasn't been posting photos. Until now. Jessica tweeted this photo (above) with the message, "Just taking a walk around the block… street legal???" Yes, her t-ts are street legal. But what's the electronic device that's getting motorboated? Is that a pager? Or will some judgemental mother tell me that OF COURSE it's something to do with the baby or breastfeeding? Go ahead and educate me, seriously. I'm at a loss to play the "name the object between Jessica's monumental knockers" game.

Also, I just wanted to clarify a minor point from last week's story about Jessica. In Touch Weekly threw around a lot of numbers, and there were some complaints about inconsistencies, which I thought was kind of unfair to In Touch, believe it or not. The report was probably BS (although In Touch had some solid reporting and turned-out-to-be-true exclusives on Jessica’s pregnancy, so…), but I thought their cracked-out math was correct… or at least better than Lindsay Lohan's. They claimed that Jessica weighed 210 pounds while pregnant, and that her "goal weight" on Weight Watchers is 130 pounds. They also said – and I believe this is a separate goal – that Jessica wants to lose 50 pounds in 5 months. So… while her goal weight is 130 IN GENERAL, she wants to mainly lose 50 pounds in 5 months, and her ultimate goal is to get down to 130. Through diet, exercise and breastfeeding, all done with her health in mind, hopefully. Personally, I think 130 is a pipedream but God bless her.

By the way, I do think she looks notably slimmer in the Twit-pic. She took it from a good angle, of course, but her face has already slimmed down and I see a hint of a waist. I was wondering if Jessica would eventually just begin to give away her "exclusives" on Twitter, and I think this might be the beginning. She won't be all Hilary Duff about it, but I am expecting to see Twit-pics of little Maxwell Drew soon. Very soon.

Aaron Johnson (22) and Sam Taylor-Wood (44) got married last week

Posted: 24 Jun 2012 06:28 AM PDT

I knew something was up when Focus Features sent us some promotional stuff for Anna Karenina and they listed Aaron Johnson's name as "Aaron Taylor-Johnson". Focus Features had the name change in a hurry, because at the same time the Anna Karenina trailer was getting a big PR push, Aaron and his baby-mama announced that they had gotten married. It happened last Thursday. And both changed their named – he is now Aaron Taylor-Johnson (I wonder if he's officially changing his SAG name too?) and she became Sam Taylor-Johnson. They are the Taylor-Johnsons. I don't know… I think that's kind of wonderful and feminist. I like when the rare dude changes HIS name too.

But I guess I should say something about the age difference and all of that. Aaron and Sam got together when she was 40 years old and he was 18 years old. By the time he was 19, she was pregnant and they were engaged. She had two baby girls in a row – first Wylda Rae (she turns 2 next month) and then Romy, who is just 5 months old. Aaron is now 22. Sam is 44. And now they are legally wed.

Sam Taylor-Wood and Aaron Johnson have taken their romance to the next level.

The couple, who have been together since meeting on the set of Taylor-Wood’s directorial debut Nowhere Boy and got engaged in October 2009, were married on Thursday in Somerset, England, they confirm to the Associated Press.

Taylor-Wood wore a dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, while Johnson wore a suit by Tom Ford. Both husband and wife will now use the surname Taylor-Johnson.

Johnson, 22, who starred in Kick-Ass and will next appear in Anna Karenina, and Taylor-Wood, 45, are parents to two daughters together – Romy, 5 months, and Wylda, 2 next month.

Of their age difference, Johnson has said, “I’m an old soul and she’s a young soul. We don’t see an age gap, we just see each other.”

This is the second marriage for the director, who also has two daughters with ex-husband Jay Jopling.

Yeah. I mean, I'm happy for them. I'm glad they're still together, because usually when an 18 year old and a 40 year old get together, it doesn't last – regardless of which gender is 40. Sam's oldest children are closer in age to Aaron than she is. But… whatever. Hopefully, they'll be the exception to the rule. And maybe Sam just thinks, "Hey, even if this only lasts for five years, it will be an amazing five years."

What bugs me is that she seems to be putting an enormous amount of psychological pressure on this kid. Last year, she said in an interview, "Aaron, almost before anything started between us, said he wanted kids. He was very clear about wanting a family. We hardly go out now – it's just us. Aaron has brought a set of values I didn't even know I was looking for – family values. He is more grounded. He has been getting work offers which he has turned down because he wants to be here for the crucial first months of Wylda's life." THAT is pressure. Yes, it's cool that he's taking responsibility and maybe he was the one to talk Sam into having those babies… but he was 18 years old, for God's sake!!! What you do and say when you're 18 years old should not define who are for the rest of your life. But good luck. Mazel tov!

Emma Stone wears Jason Wu, Bottega Veneta in Italy: lovely or boring?

Posted: 24 Jun 2012 05:14 AM PDT

I really hope this is the last leg of the promotional tour for The Amazing Spider-Man. I think Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield hope it is too. All last week, Emma and Andrew were touring Europe with photo calls and premiere – the week before they had been in Asia. So… they’re probably pretty sick of it by now. I know Emma’s stylist must be sick of it by now, because they’re running out of clothes.

So… these are photos from hopefully the last stop in Europe – Rome, Italy. Emma wore white Jason Wu for the day-time photo call, and then black Bottega Veneta for the premiere. The photo call pics are all the evidence I need for “Why Emma Should Not Be A Blonde”. Who does she look like? I can’t even put my finger on it. There’s some Naomi Watts in there. A little bit like Jennifer Aniston too. Basically, she looks kind of bland and like every other blonde-ish actress. GO BACK TO GINGER.

As for the Bottega Veneta… I like the dress. I think it’s flattering and pretty and well-made. And I think the styling makes her look like Elizabeth Banks. Right? I could totally see Elizabeth Banks in this whole look, down to the hair and makeup. Oh, well.

PS… What is Emma’s obsession with peplums/dust ruffles/biscuit flounces? She has A Peplum Problem.
