Us Weekly: Jennifer Aniston “doesn’t have problems with Angelina anymore”

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 08:46 AM PDT

These are some new photos of Jennifer Aniston on the North Carolina set of We're The Millers, that movie where she plays a hooker hired by Jason Sudeikis to play a wife and mother so that they can all move a huge shipment of weed from Mexico to the US. I'm sorry we didn't have those photos of Jennifer's nips – those were floating around last week. I think these photos are all about her butt, honestly. Jennifer has a great ass, even when she's wearing unfortunate pants (like she is in these pics).

Some of you might have already seen the Us Weekly cover, which is mostly about Kourtney Kardashian and her baby, but there's also a cover inset that reads, "Jen's Private Angelina Joke". I thought the story would be about Jennifer making dumb jokes about Angelina's Maleficent horns, but no. HL's excerpts say that Jennifer wants to create a photo-op with Angelina and that's the "joke":

Is the feud finally over? Jennifer Aniston, 43, is apparently dying to release a photo with rival Angelina Jolie, 37, to coincide with her upcoming viral video ad for Smartwater. "Jen doesn't have problems with Angelina anymore!" a source tells Us Weekly.

After Jolie reportedly broke up Jen and Brad Pitt's marriage in 2005, reports have circulated that the two actresses hate each other. But seven years later, Jen is ready to bury the hatchet.

"Jen recently contemplated having her people call Angelina's team to arrange a photo op for them just to put the rumors that they hate each other to rest," a source tells Us.

In her upcoming video promoting Smartwater, to be released this fall, she pokes fun at the constant rumors that she is pregnant or engaged. "Jen wanted to time the shot with Angelina to the video's release," the inside source spilled.

However, Aniston's rep commented, "There was never any intention of getting a photo op with Angelina."

The source insists the feud is over, saying, "People blow Jen's feelings about Angie out of proportion."

Yeah. Why would Jennifer want to create a photo op? Why would Angelina agree to it? It's not going to happen. If it was ever going to happen, it would have gone down at the 2009 Academy Awards, when they were both in attendance (Angelina as a nominee, Jennifer as a presenter… with date John Mayer). I tend to think these two go out of their way to avoid each other.

Oh, and the UK tabloids are now claiming that there are "rumors" that Justin Theroux and Jennifer are over. Justin was in NY and LA for the past few weeks while Jennifer worked in NC. But I don't know where he is now. He could totally be in NC. Or maybe he's staying in New York and they really are having some issues. Hm.

Gerard Butler goes shirtless in ‘Playing for Keeps’ trailer: too cutesy or not bad?

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 08:08 AM PDT

Last year, Justin Timberlake broke up with Jessica Biel just before she began work on a film called Playing For Keeps in Louisiana. There were claims that Biel was distraught, but she and her (ig)noble publicist decided to fight the good fight and put Jessica "out there" as a fun, happy free spirit who could attract the attention of her costar Gerard Butler. There were numerous reports in People Mag and Us Weekly, all about how Gerard was all over Jessica and he wanted it so bad and she was playing hard to get. Considering Gerard goes the lowest of the low-hanging fruit (Real Housewives, random chicks in Porta-Potties), some of us had a hard time believing that any woman could make Gerard beg for it. Still, Gerard did end up giving Jessica "a ride" so maybe Biel did get a good Butler-ing. Long story short, if they did have a thing, it was brief, because all of her hustling paid off and Justin took her back.

Why did I go into such a convoluted history? Because the first trailer for Playing for Keeps is out, and Jessica and Gerard are playing exes and they just seem… unsuited for each other:

First thing: Gerard looks really good here. I know he's sleazy and gross and whatever, but I'm just saying… he looks GOOD here. Good hair, great body, and they let him use his real accent, which is great because Gerard really can't do any other kind of accent. Do I believe that Gerard and Jessica are convincing "exes" with a small, cutesy child together? No. And that's on Jessica, really. You can put her in "mom clothes" but she just doesn't pull it off. I have to admit… even though this film looks like it has every cliché in the book (cutesy children, a wedding, obvious love triangle, etc), Gerard seems okay in it. I wish he would stop making such awful movies, but I could actually see this one becoming a modest hit. Am I back in love with The Butler? No. I'm really over him at this point. But I do wish him well – maybe this film will help him get back on track.

Will Kristen Stewart be able to lip-bite her way back into Rob’s sparkle-heart?

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 07:29 AM PDT

Another Wednesday, another butt-load of tabloid reports about The Great Twihard Meltdown of 2012. First, some good news: in addition to giving his "first" interview to Good Morning America on August 15 (next Wednesday), Robert Pattinson has agreed to do an interview with Jon Stewart at The Daily Show… on MONDAY. Which means that Jon Stewart will probably get the "exclusive" first interview, not GMA. There's a chance TDS interview could be a pre-taped deal to air later in the week, but why in the world would The Daily Show NOT want to air the exclusive on Monday night? You know it will be good television too – Jon Stewart is surprisingly effective interviewer, but he won't go for the "Barbara Walters cry-athon" moment. Jon will probably give Sparkles a drink and show him photos of boobs. Here are some more stories circulating through this week's tabloids:

*Kristen was spotted with her trainer at LA's Gold's Gym. An eyewitness told Hollywood Life that Kristen "didn't look too happy… I never saw her smile. She just kind of looked serious and kept her head down a lot." Another witness said, "She has been in working out with her own people in very intense workouts…While she was here she talked to nobody except her trainer and left afterwards without showering or going into the locker rooms to change." Which is exactly her MO – she must like to shower at home. But it means she was all sweaty and gym-y when she hooked up with Rupert Sanders in her Mini Cooper. Gross. Anyway, one of the witnesses said, "She looked good and healthy, not super skinny or weird." Thank you.

*People Mag says Sparkles is "rethinking" every part of his relationship with Kristen. A source says, "One moment he thought he had his partner and the next he was forced to rethink decisions he's made. He's sad about it."

*Us Weekly reports that Rob hasn't made up his mind to dump Kristen at this point. A source says, "What he wants still changes from day to day. He loves her very much. A lot of people close to Rob are rooting for him to end it." But Rob has started taking her calls and answering her texts.

*Us Weekly's source also says that Rob is "too nice" to make Kristen pay for cheating on him. "Rob would never do anything to Kristen out of spite. He's too good a guy. It's not like him to want to hurt her." I believe that.

*Sources describe Rob as "putty in her hands" and they say that once he sees her and they begin promoting Breaking Dawn Part II, that Kristen will lip-bite and eye-roll her way back into Rob's sparkly pants.

*Bill Condon, director of Breaking Dawn Part II, tells Entertainment Weekly, "The fact is, these are actors playing parts, and maybe it's not such a bad thing that people be reminded of that. Both of these actors gave heart and soul to the Twilight movies, not only during shooting, but also by navigating so graciously the whole life-in-a-fishbowl aspect of the phenomenon. Above all they have always shown great respect for the fans who made these movies such a success. Now it's time that some of that respect be returned to them." Er… a bold statement coming from a director working with Summit, a studio who loved every part of Kristen and Rob's real life relationship and subtly exploited their real relationship for monetary gain.

So… basically, things are in a holding pattern, but more sources are saying that Rob will end up sticking with Kristen. For a little bit, at least. Maybe until December, because Summit will have their heads if they don't make it through November.

Rihanna axed by Nivea because her trashy image negates their ‘core values’

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 07:10 AM PDT

Rihanna

Last year, Rihanna signed on as the face of Nivea, which also sponsored a good chunk of her latest world tour. This always seemed like an odd move on the part of the skin care product brand, which generally projects a very wholesome vibe throughout their advertising campaigns. In sharp contrast, Rihanna has become increasingly well known for posing for obnoxiously trashy vacation photos, in which she often is spotted drinking and doing drugs, and then she usually posts those photos herself all over her social media profiles with her everpresent #thuglife tag. Never mind that the paps have caught her swanning about in see-thru tops and that she’s taken to boozing so hard that she ends up hospitalized.

Well, Nivea has apparently woken up from their deluded slumber, and their new advertising priorities have been reenforced by Stefan Heidenreich, the new head of Nivea’s parent company. According to Heidenreich, Rihanna’s a terrible fit for the brand and is far “too sexy” to represent the brand in the future. No kidding, right?

Rihanna

She’s known for her sexy attitude, raunchy outfits and outrageous behaviour. So it comes as little surprise that Rihanna’s advert for Nivea has been deemed too sexy to front campaigns for the skincare brand.

The star appeared in a series of adverts for the firm, which was a sponsor of her world tour last year, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the company.

And now cosmetic tycoon Stefan Heidenreich – the new head of Nivea’s parent firm, Beiersdorf – has told German media that the singer should have been considered a “no go” for the brand’s family image. “The advert starring Rihanna was a no go. I do not understand how Nivea can be brought into association with Rihanna.”

In one ad, a family is seen moisturising with Nivea while Rihanna’s sultry hit California King Bed plays in the background. The original video of the song shows the star wearing stockings and lingerie writhing with a man on a bed. Heidenreich added: “Nivea is a company which stands for trust, family and reliability.”

When Nivea signed up the star last year they said they were “very excited” to have her on board. Nivea board member Markus Pinger said in a press release at the time: “Over the past 100 years, Nivea has been an iconic skin-care brand across the world. Rihanna is a music icon and her digital footprint will help us bring our anniversary celebration to consumers wherever they are.”

In July, Forbes magazine said Rihanna’s sponsorship deal with Nivea had helped propel her number three in their top 30 of the richest celebrities under 30 with earnings of $53million in just 12 months.

[From Daily Mail]

The original German article goes even further, and for some reason, both the Mail and Digital Spy have left out the best language, which is as follows: “Heidenreich’s judgement: ‘Rihanna was a No-Go.’ What does the US star, who has been linked to drugs and party excesses, have ‘to do with the core values of Nivea’?, he asked.

Indeed, it’s hard to believe that Nivea ever decided that employing Rihanna as a spokesperson was a good idea for their company, but it’s also odd that they’re just now figuring this out. Sure, Rihanna’s behavior has accelerated quite a bit lately, but it’s not like she was some virginal ingenue who has only just started boozing and acting trashy in public.

Here’s the advert spot mentioned by the Mail, which shows babies and pregnant bellies receiving the benefits of the skin cream:

In sharp contrast, here’s the self-projected image of Rihanna. We all know she’s trashy, and she knows it too. In fact, she embraces it, and more power to her if that’s how she wants to live. But I guess she needs to find some sponsors who want to project that image as well.

Jennifer Garner admits husband Ben wants another baby, but she’s reluctant

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 07:00 AM PDT


Jennifer Garner had her third baby with husband Ben Affleck in February. She’s probably just starting to get her groove back (judging by how I felt the first few months after I had a baby), although she looked like a million bucks when we saw her yesterday on the red carpet for her latest film. Back when Ben and Jen had just two kids, we heard a lot of rumors that he was pushing for another child since he wanted a boy. Well these two had a boy, and Garner admits that Ben still wants more kids while she’s ready to hang it up. She told Extra TV that it’s way harder to have three kids than two, and suggested that Ben has a long wait ahead of him.

"It’s absolute chaos!!" said Jennifer, who gave birth to baby Samuel in February. "I really did not realize how much more work three was going to be than two."

Garner's kids — including Sam and sisters Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3 — come first, but some roles are just too good to turn down. That's when hubby steps in to help. "Ben took a break, he came, he did the school drop-offs and pick-ups and bedtimes."

Does the couple want more kids? She told Terri, "The fact that Ben wants another IS true… I can tell you that would be a pretty uphill battle with me. I am not anticipating having any more kids!"

[From Extra TV]

I still remember what Garner told Letterman about having two children vs. one. (I mean I had to look it up but I remember it in general.) She said, in 2009 when Seraphina was three months old, that “It’s crazy. It’s like having ten kids. You think you have one and you have it under control, and then you have the other one and it just goes to hell and a handbasket.” She also talked about how tired she was at the time, and said that night to her wasn’t when she slept, it was when she put on sweatpants and had a couple of naps. Well now she’s got three kids and Ben wants four? That’s crazy!

Garner also talked in that interview about what a supportive and helpful dad Ben is. They have help too, we’ve seen photos of their nanny, but I don’t doubt that they’re hands-on parents. I’m happy to hear that they’re doing well, even if they’re not exactly on the same page when it comes to how many kids they have.

LeAnn Rimes relieves her dental drama by tweeting bikini photos: crazy?

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 05:46 AM PDT

LeAnn Rimes has been going through some dental drama. It feels like this drama has been going on forever – hasn't she been canceling "concerts" all over the place because of her teeth issues? But last week the dental drama took on a new sense of urgency as LeAnn basically live-tweeted her procedures and her recoveries. You can read about last week's drama here. Apparently, LeAnn is still in the midst of even more dental drama this week too. But that didn't stop her from putting on a bikini and tweeting the header photo from the beach with the note, "Nothing like the beach! It cleanses the soul. Sun and sand heals all". This is in between tweets about how much pain she's in and how she's on the beach playing volleyball. Because why not? Some selected tweets:

If you’ve made it your life’s mission to judge another’s you seriously need to find a new mission and get your own life.

On the beach trying to recuperate. Chronic pain is horrible but the beach makes it better somehow.

Surgery tmrw and back on the beach….wasn’t the original plan but it worked out like it should. I am grateful for a peaceful place to heal. Maybe one day soon I can fully explain. Much love to you all.

Surgery successful! About to finally be able to relax. I feel a lot better today after this surgery. Thank you GOD! Thx for all your kindness & prayers!

[Via LeAnn's Twitter]

You know what strikes me most about her bolt-on & bikini photo? Her mouth looks the same. No puffiness, no bruising, nothing to indicate this major oral surgery that has been going down. I do like that her mustache is glistening in the beachy sunlight, though. I always love that.

Oh, and LeAnn has changed her avatar since the last time I looked at her Twitter feed. This is her new photo:

I know it's for the "NO H8" campaign and everything, but LeAnn makes everything about LEANN, right? She's so shallow and narcissistic, she honestly believes that she is the ultimate victim in every situation, so I'm assuming that "NO H8" is basically about "Don't bully LeAnn by pointing out how delusional and crazy she is." Also – I'm sorry, but NO ONE should push out their bolt-ons and angle their ribcage like that for a promotional photo for a bullying campaign. It seems less like "stop bullying" and more like "We turned this photo shoot into some kinky sex game involving duct tape and bolt-on cleavage."

Liberty Ross resurfaces without wedding ring, was spotted with Rupert

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 05:40 AM PDT

In all of the back-and-forth over the past two weeks, there has been a lot of contradictory information about all of the participants in the Twihard/SWATH-gate/affair drama. A UK tabloid claimed they had an exclusive interview with Liberty Ross's brother – and that the brother basically said that Liberty thinks her husband Rupert Sanders and Kristen Stewart were having an affair for months. Someone (an unnamed source) then denied that interview to People Mag, claiming that it was just some tabloid BS. I still think there's a possibility there was some truth to it, though – at least as far as what "Team Liberty" is thinking and doing and strategizing.

I tend to think that Liberty is using her husband's affair to begin to plan a new life for herself. She said in an interview (a few months ago) that she was finding life in LA very difficult, and I kind of thought she would use this as an excuse to move back to England, her home. But Liberty has been sticking around LA – she's been photographed twice in the past few days, and both times she was without her wedding ring. You can see the photos here. All of the sites merely say that Liberty entered an "office building" too – does anyone think she might have been meeting with a divorce attorney? I hope she was. And I hope she takes Rupert to the cleaners.

There was also significant gossip about Liberty basically giving Rupert Sanders the silent treatment – maybe she hasn't even spoken to him since the scandal broke. That theory came apart yesterday, as another photo agency got exclusive pics of Rupert and Liberty in Beverly Hills. According to TMZ, "Cameras snapped away after Liberty Ross and Rupert outside Judi’s Deli. We’re told the two met at an office building in the vicinity." Divorce laywers? Why else would you go into an office building with your philandering husband?

Meanwhile, Hollywood Life has an exclusive report in which a source claims that Liberty believes Rupert is "in love" with Kristen.

Liberty Ross is no longer wearing her wedding ring after the news of her husband having an affair with Kristen Stewart broke. A source now tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Liberty believes Rupert is in love with Kristen and the photos of them making out were much more than a fling!

Photos surfaced of Kristen Stewart cheating with her SWATH director Rupert Sanders on July 24. Just two weeks later on August 7, his wife, Liberty Ross was seen without her wedding ring.

Although previous reports have said that Liberty wanted to attend therapy to repair their relationship, especially for the sake of their two young children, a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that things have changed.

"When Liberty first found out about the affair she wanted to go to couple's therapy and save the marriage for the sake of her children. But now she believes it wasn't just a momentary fling. Liberty thinks Rupert fell in love with Kristen and is STILL in love with her. No amount of therapy is going to change the way Rupert feels about Kristen," a source close to Liberty tells us EXCLUSIVELY.

"Liberty is devastated that Rupert would do this to her and the kids. Her main priority is the welfare of her kids and all of her decisions have and will continue to be been made with this in mind."

[From Hollywood Life]

Is it weird that I kind of believe that this is what happened? Rupert might have initially copped to the affair, using words like "momentary indiscretion" (cough), making it sound like it was just a temporary lapse in judgment. But Liberty found out some additional information, or she just realized Rupert and Kristen were full of it, and she decided to unleash hell. Bless her.

Kris Jenner brokered Kim Kardashian’s sex tape sale “every step of the way”

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 05:28 AM PDT


I’ve been seeing a lot of Kris Jenner news lately and kind of shrugging and wondering if I should cover it. She’s been doing press for “Keeping up with The Kardashians,” and as part of that she’s talking about her marriage problems. Kris recently had a “run-in” with the guy she cheated on her last husband with 20 years ago and wrote shamelessly about in her recent biography. This of course created a whole plotline for her show in which she could fight with her husband Bruce about it. We’ve been hearing that she’s been having marriage problems, but it’s hard to know what’s true with this family and what’s staged. Plus, I really don’t care if these two divorce. I know there are younger kids involved and it should be sad if this is true, especially for Kylie and Kendall, but I have a hard time feeling much for this family. The sympathy is not there.

Back in June, we heard second hand news that Kim’s ex Kris Humphries had claimed that Kris Jenner directed her daughter Kim’s sex tape and even had her re-shoot it “because Kris J didn’t think the first one was pretty enough.” That story about what Kris H allegedly claimed came from a woman named Myla Sinajaj, who dated Kris Humphries. She also lied to TMZ about being pregnant with his baby, so her word is not worth much at all.

Now Star is claiming that Kris worked as a “middleman” to make sure her daughter earned top dollar from that video. There’s no word that Kris Jenner directed the blue movie or anything like that – Star claims “the video already existed.” I don’t doubt this version of events:

Kris Jenner was willing to do whatever it took to catapult the Kardashian family name into stardom, and one family insider exclusively reveals she even spearheaded the sale of daughter Kim Kardashian’s infamous sex tape in 2007.

“Kris was totally involved in arranging the sale of Kim’s tape,” the source told Star magazine of Kim’s on-camera tryst with then-boyfriend Ray J.

“The video already existed, and Kris was there every step of the way as a middleman brought in to market it to an adult entertainment company.”

The title of the adult flick released from Vivid Entertainment was Kim Kardashian, Superstar, which the source said had Kris over the moon.

“That must have thrilled Kris since you could hardly call Kim a household name at that point in time,” the insider said.

Despite denials that Kris had anything to do with the release of Kim’s sex tape, and Khloe Kardashian calling the idea “disgusting and disturbing,” the source passed a polygraph test with Star magazine.

“I saw Kris Jenner’s signature on the contract; I believe she got somewhere between $250,000 and $500,000 for the original deal with the middleman,” the source said.

As RadarOnline.com was first to report, the Kardashian’s former nanny Pam Behan said, “I believe [Kris] was grooming her children for their current celebrity status their entire lives… I do believe that the success they enjoy now is what she always hoped for and wanted for them and for herself.”

Meanwhile, Kris’ never-ending drive for fame and wealth are coming at a great cost, the insider said.

“Everything she does in this world, every decision she makes on her daughters’ behalf, is based on greed and publicity,” the source said.

“And has nothing to do with her family’s stability or happiness.”

To find out more about Kris’ hand in the sale of Kim’s sex tape, pick up the new issue of Star magazine on newsstands Thursday.

[From Radar Online]

This definitely sounds true to me. Last year The Hollywood Reporter did an extensive profile on The Kardashians and their whole empire. They way they told the story, Kim’s sex tape surfaced around the time Kris was shopping their reality show. Kris described her reaction to the news as making “lemonade out of lemons” and doing what she had to do. Here’s that story:

It was February 2007 when Kris' second oldest, Kim — then best known as socialite Paris Hilton's perpetual sidekick — sat her mom down for a confession: She had made a sex tape with her then-boyfriend, musician Ray J. brother of singer Brandy. The kicker? A third party had sold the tape to adult video distributor Vivid Entertainment, and it would be going on sale at the end of the month. The celebrity press soon exploded with every last graphic detail of what the tape contained.

The timing could not have been worse. Inspired by the success of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's family, Kris independently produced a presentation tape of a reality show following her family and had recently begun shopping it to different production companies.

"I thought, 'Oh well, there goes the reality show,' " she say. But you can either be a problem maker or a problem solver. And I'm a problem solver. My job as her mom and manager is to take care of the problem — whatever it is. I had to cry and get upset in the privacy of my own room and then come out and help her, because she's my daughter. What good is it for me to berate her?"

Claiming to have never seen the tape, Kris hired a crisis communications expert to help navigate the scandal. "I was way out of my league," she says. "I would never think I knew enough to care for a situation like that. What's that Kenny Rogers line? 'You got to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em.' All I knew was that I had to make some lemonade out of these lemons fast. Real fast."

The fact that Vivid had to pay Kim a figure that's been reported at $5 million is almost beside the point. The sex tape — one of Vivid's best-selling DVDs in 10 years — put the Kardashians on the map.

"My job was trying to take my kids' 15 minutes and turn it into 30," Kris recalls. Shortly afterward, her entire family would have to get comfortable in front of the camera.

[From Hollywood Reporter via Celebitchy]

Here’s the thing – did Kim’s sex tape just “happen” to surface at the same time as their mom was shopping a reality show? It sounds like a helluva coincidence, right? There are some potential different ways that this whole thing may have come about, and different levels of involvement on Kris’ part. Here are some possible theories:

A. Kris told Kim to make the sex tape so it would propel their family to fame. I wouldn’t say she was there and directed it or watched it and had Kim re-shoot it, that’s way too creepy for me to consider. But it’s possible she told her to make it and made sure that it came out at just the right time.

B. Kris learned of Kim’s sex tape while she was shopping the reality show, and decided to take advantage of the opportunity, as she half-claimed in that Hollywood Reporter interview. In that case Star’s new article would be dead-on in that Kris brokered the deal, as she’s done with all the deals for her family.

C. Kim’s sex tape came out and Kris let Kim handle the negotiations. Remember, no sex tape like this featuring a celebrity can come out without that celebrity signing off on it. There are exceptions, and adult film distributors do get sued, but not when it comes to a big name distributor like Vivid.

Let’s be realistic – Kris is involved in every aspect of her family’s business. It sounds so likely that she made sure Kim got top dollar and recognition for that sex tape. The jury is still out on whether she told Kim to make it or not.

Pres. Obama thinks Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman was “the best thing” in TDKR

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 04:33 AM PDT

"Catwoman? 'Sup, girl. Meet me at Burger King."

So many of y'all were prepared to unleash hate on Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. I remember the comments. I remember the preemptive hair-pulling and complaining. And I stayed true to Anne: I believed that she would do a good job, and lo and behold, not only did Annie do a great job, but she was arguably one of the best parts in a good (and somewhat uneven) movie. Now that you've seen her in action, can we at least agree on one thing: she didn't embarrass herself? Can you give me that? That she held her own with those actors, that she worked the hell out of the material she was given, and that you might have actually missed her when she wasn't on-screen? Well, you don't have to give me that. Barack Obama has given me that. During a fundraiser in Connecticut (in which Anne was co-host along with Harvey Weinstein), Pres. Obama took a moment to praise Catwoman:

Days after “The Dark Night Rises” hauled in $36 million at the box offices last weekend, its fierce female star, Anne Hathaway, helped President Obama rake in millions for his re-election campaign at a Hollywood-studded fundraiser in Connecticut.

Hathaway co-hosted the $35,800 per-person fundraiser Monday night with producer Harvey Weinstein at his home in Connecticut. The duo helped Obama add $2 million to his campaign war chest.

Hathaway is a longtime Obama supporter, having attended his inauguration festivities in 2009 and telling People magazine shortly after his election that she’d love to work in the White House as “First Babysitter” for Obama’s daughters, Sasha and Malia.

The president returned the compliment at Monday’s fundraiser, gushing about Hathaway’s “spectacular” performance as Catwoman in the latest Batman movie.

“She’s spectacular,” Obama told the crowd of about 60 supporters. “I got a chance to see ‘Batman,’ and she was the best thing in it.

“That’s just my personal opinion,” the president added as Hathaway beamed and laughed, according to the pool press report.

Other notable names at the fashionable fundraiser included “West Wing” screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, Vogue editor Anna Wintour and reality-TV host Jerry Springer.

[From ABC News]

Obama then continued, "Just my opinion: Bane was a mess! He couldn't make up his mind about his motivations. He really didn’t adhere to a coherent socioeconomic or political philosophy I guess that's why he was based on Mr. Bain Capital Mitt Romney, right? That's the conspiracy, right? Whatever, y'all, I need a cig." Obviously, that's a joke for our earnest commenters. As for the whole "Does POTUS really have the time to sit through such a long-ass movie?" – my guess is he watched on Air Force One, in between campaign and fundraising stops. I don't mind the president taking some time out to watch a movie, but I'm sure this will bring another round of controversy. Bring it on.

Us Weekly: Kourtney Kardashian reveals 1-month old baby Penelope Scotland

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 04:26 AM PDT

Kourtney Kardashian gave away (sold?) the first baby photos of her daughter Penelope to Us Weekly. It's a step up from Life & Style, who got the first photos of Mason (Dixon) Disick two years ago. I bet Kourtney got a nice check from Us Weekly, but it was probably in the low six-figures, don't you think? Kourtney gave birth to Penelope Scotland Disick on July 8 – which makes this baby one month old. Granted, I know nothing about babies, but is it just me or is this a big one-month-old? Maybe it looks that way because Kourtney is so petite. Also: it's interesting that Scott didn't make the cover, right?

And Penelope makes four!

Kourtney Kardashian introduces adorable daughter Penelope Scotland Disick — — with pages of exclusive photos — in the new issue of Us Weekly, out now.

Born July 8 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and weighing 7 pounds, 14 ounces, Penelope joins big brother Mason, Kardashian’s first child with Scott Disick, her boyfriend of six years.

Gushes the ecstatic second-time mom (who shares her new Us Weekly cover with sleepy Penelope and a beaming Mason): “Nothing could prepare me for how hard I fell in love with her.”

In the new issue, the reality star, 33, and Disick, 29, open up to Us about Penelope’s delivery (with the entire Kardashian-Jenner family in tow!), how Mason is adjusting to big-brotherhood, Kourtney’s push present, why Disick’s afraid to change Penelope’s diaper and much more!

I can't wait to find out about Kourtney's push present. What do you think Scott gave her? A gift certificate for ten bikini waxes? No, I jest. I keep hearing that Scott really has "changed" and he's a better man these days. And I can't reiterate enough how happy I am that Kourtney and Scott have ended the cycle of "K" names, and that they didn't start their own trend of "M" names either.

Here are some photos of Scott and Mason in Miami over the weekend. Mason is so friggin' cute. I like that he's all "I'm going to walk everywhere by myself."
