Lady Gaga is pretty much the Statue of Liberty, says V Magazine

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 08:52 AM PDT

V Magazine just sent us some stuff for their new issue, "The New York Issue." Who best to represent New York in all of its glory? Marc Jacobs and Lady Gaga of course. But they couldn't just do interesting photos of Marc and Gaga, of course. They had to do Gaga as the Statue of Liberty, of course. Now, I was on board for Gaga being a representation of NYC, but to place her as Lady Liberty - ugh. Listen to the reasoning:

Quote from editor STEPHEN GAN:
"Just as the Statue of Liberty was France’s gift to America, Gaga is, to us, New York’s greatest gift to pop culture and fashion. She embodies everything V is about, and is also a beacon of the city’s creativity and hope. Exactly one year after her first V cover (the first fashion magazine cover she was on), we decided to do the NEW YORK issue, and she was the first person who came to mind to represent our great city. In the year that’s passed, she has become a bonafide genius and we can safely declare her our muse. Above all, a New York issue should celebrate people who’ve done great things. We at V are grateful Gaga came along to put the New back in New York!"

[From V Magazine]

Okay. Sure. Maybe V readers will applaud this decision. You know I love Gaga and everything, but I would like to see a moratorium on Gaga magazine covers until she puts out her new album. It's only a few months away - can we all agree to wait until January? Please? Oh, and there's this too:

Lady Liberty in a shopping cart. Sure, it's New York. V Mag also sent some of the other photos from their tribute to New Yorkers. I just loved this one because of Chloe Sevigny's face… my goodness.

Reese Witherspoon’s boyfriend Jim Toth seen shopping for rings

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 08:35 AM PDT

I haven't really formed an opinion about Reese Witherspoon newish boyfriend Jim Toth. This is the guy she started dating about two seconds after she and Jake Gyllenhaal split - and I think they've been going out for maybe most of the year…? Like seven or eight months. There has been no gushing, no big famewhore moves, no formal roll-out in People Magazine. They are photographed every once and a while and seem to be enjoying a very low-key relationship. So it wouldn't surprise me whatsoever to learn that they are going to be engaged soon - In Touch Weekly reports that Jim has been shopping for rings:

Nearly eight months after he started dating Reese Witherspoon, agent Jim Toth has been spotted at several high-end jewelry stores in Hollywood — and he's been shopping for the perfect engagement ring!

"Reese wasn't with him, because he wants it to be a surprise," says a friend of Jim's. "But he knows her style. The ring will be classic and beautiful, just like Reese herself."

The pal says the couple has been talking marriage constantly, and In Touch recently reported that they have undergone religious premarital counseling together.

"Still, he wants the proposal to be unexpected," says the insider, adding, "It will happen in the next few weeks."

It will be the second trip down the aisle for Reese, 34, who split from Ryan Phillippe in 2006 after seven years of marriage. She dated Jake Gyllenhaal until 2009, but Reese "never considered marrying Jake," says the pal. "She loved him, but wasn't passionate about him. Jim is her ultimate guy."

[From In Touch Weekly]

From what I know of this Jim Toth dude - an agent, a behind-the-scenes power-player - he seems like a good match to Reese's self-professed anal-rententiveness and near OCD. She's Type A all the way, and the dude she's with better be too, or else be willing to put up with it. It might be nice to see her with someone who gets her out of that Type A shell, but I think that's what Jake was to her, and that didn't turn out well in the end. And I really respect that Reese is the kind of woman who doesn't need to date "up" or date "famous." She found a dude who is happy to be behind the scenes and they seem really tight. Good for them.

Jennifer Aniston has a new, “younger” mystery boyfriend

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 08:04 AM PDT

Below is a very blurry video of Jennifer Aniston's new "young man" coming and going from their date. Or should I call him "the whippersnapper"? Even though the video is blurry as hell, the guy looks really young. And not unlike Jersey Shore's The Situation, right? He's giving me Situation vibes. Anyway, she has a new boyfriend, allegedly, because she went on a date with this guy last night at the Sunset Towers. The eyewitness account of their date… well, I laughed. I laughed because the account played into every stereotype I have about Jennifer Aniston - that she tries too hard to be girlish and young, and that she can't stop playing with her hair and touching her hair and getting people to look at her hair. HAIR. Here's the video and the eyewitness account:

Forget speculation she is back with on-again, off-again flame John Mayer because Jennifer Aniston has a new ‘friend’ in her life, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal. The actress is set to ignite rumors that she has a new boyfriend after she had an intimate dinner on Wednesday night with a handsome new man.

The 41-year-old star was spotted enjoying drinks, dinner and dessert at the luxurious Sunset Tower Hotel in Hollywood. The pair sat at a corner table — much to the interest of onlookers — and later shared an ice-cream sundae in the exclusive restaurant, where they spent two-and-a-half hours together before leaving in separate cars.

Inside, Aniston looked relaxed in white jeans and a simple black tank top, while the man wore a white black shirt and dark pants.

“Jen was at a cozy corner table with a good looking younger man,” an eyewitness told RadarOnline.com. “She was twirling her hair a lot and flirting shamelessly.”

The witness said the duo got closer as the night progressed — with many lingering touches on the arm by Jen — and at one point Jen moved right next to him to flip through photos on his iPhone.

“Jen looked really good. She had on white jeans and a sexy black tank top,” the source said. When her mystery date left for the restroom, she took the opportunity to primp by reapplying her lipstick.”

The eyewitness told RadarOnline.com Jen looked “a little nervous, putting her hair up in a loose bun and laughing at everything he said.”

According to onlookers, Jen and her mystery man were so immersed in their conversation they hardly made a dent in their ice cream dessert.

And in true gentlemanly style, "the guy picked up the whole check” at the end of the night. While he took to the wheel in his Jeep four wheel drive and sped away from the waiting paparazzi, Aniston slipped out a back door under tight hotel security.

[From Radar]

Well, he didn't pick her up and drive her home - they came and left in separate cars, if this video is of the same dude. Honestly, it sounds like a first date, right? This is not the eyewitness account of a couple on their fifth date, after they've already slept together but when they still want to impress each other. This is not only giving me Situation vibes (for real), but it's also giving me blind date vibes. HAIR.

Swizz Beatz is funny: “You can’t enjoy love without spreading love”

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 07:43 AM PDT

Here are some new photos of a very pregnant Alicia Keys and her husband Swizz Beatz in New York yesterday. Alicia looks cute - when is she due, I wonder? Probably a few more months to go. Sources say the baby is due in November… sure, I'll buy that. I get the feeling that Alicia is a smug bitch about being married and knocked up, don't you? Like she looks at all of her girlfriends and says sh-t like, "I just feel like all of this is such a blessing, I pray that you could feel this way someday." And her girlfriends are thinking, "This bitch and her f-cked up baby-daddy who has three other babies by other women! Jump-off, please." But that's not stopping the whitewash of the circumstances surrounding her relationship with Swizz. There will be no Oprah tell-alls for Mashonda, or Jahna Sebastian. Instead, we get People Magazine crawling up Alicia's ass:

Alicia Keys and husband Swizz Beatz returned to one of their favorite N.Y.C. spots – Via dei Mille – for a romantic, and healthy, dinner. The expectant singer and her hubby shared a Caprese salad, mixed vegetable plate and sea bass.

“They seemed so in love,” an onlooker says of the two, who held hands off and on during dinner. Says the onlooker: “There was not a moment of silence between the two.”

[From People Magazine]

Yeah, that Alicia can talk anybody's ear off. I guess that's what they were saying. Speaking of, apparently Swizz did an interview with MTV UK a few days ago, and he talked about his new marriage and everything:

“It’s a blessing,” Swizz told MTV.com. “I look at my relationship with my wife as a union that’s just connected… spiritually. Love is a word that’s powerful but the feeling is even stronger. To identify that feeling is something that’s amazing because it doesn’t only come from your partner. It comes from your love for music, your love for people, your love for a lot of things, and I think that once you identify the feeling of love, you’ll be a better person. I’m a better man. I think that having love in your life, it just has that effect. Because then you spread love. You can’t enjoy love without spreading love."

[Swizz's comments, via The Daily Mail]

Jesus Christ. I would shoot myself if I had to live with that. Also, I get the feeling that "spreading love" is what Swizz thinks he was doing with Mashonda and Jahna. Spreading his seed, aka "the love." Gross.

T.I. arrested again, this time for possession: Free T.I.!!!

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 07:12 AM PDT

FREE T.I.!!!! My boy T.I. got arrested AGAIN. In 2007, he was charged with two feleonies - possession of three unregistered MACHINE GUNS (and silencers!) and possession of firearms by a convicted felon. Those were federal charges by the way - ATF got involved! Anyway, T.I. just got out of Club Fed (Arkansas's low-security prison) less than a year ago - he had to stay in a half-way house for several months, but since March, he's been back in the game. He's been doing some interviews and he married his longtime girlfriend Tameka “Tiny” Cottle. Tiny was with him last night, and they both got busted for possession of a controlled substance.

The honeymoon is over for T.I. and his wife Tameka Cottle because TMZ has learned they were arrested tonight and booked for the alleged possession of a controlled substance.

Law enforcement sources tell us L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies pulled over the multi-platinum selling rapper and his wife in a Maybach on Sunset Boulevard around 10:18PM. Deputies say they smelled marijuana.

When searching the vehicle cops found a controlled substance. Law enforcement sources tell us the controlled substance was not cocaine, but rather the class of controlled substance that triggered the arrest includes methamphetamines and ecstasy.

The couple just got married on July 30 in Miami, and T.I. — real name Clifford Harris Jr. — is on probation after doing seven months in prison on federal weapons charges.

Law enforcement sources say both T.I. and Tameka were booked on felony possession of a controlled substance.

We’re told T.I. and Tameka are in custody right now. Bail amount is $10,000.

UPDATE: T.I. and Tameka were released around 4:00AM.

[From TMZ]

Damn, T.I. is pretty hardcore, yes? I mean, any dude can come out and say "Yeah, I used to be a thug, back in the mean streets of my suburbs." But T.I. is actually still living a pretty gangster life. Anyway, I hope T.I. and Tiny beat the charges. FREE T.I.!!!

Kellan Lutz knows that everyone wants to see Kellan Lutz’s body

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 06:50 AM PDT

From the mind of Kellan Lutz:

Kellan Lutz is a rock star. Kellan Lutz is gorgeous, he's fabulous, he's beautiful, he's toned, he's hot, his body is amazing. Kellan Lutz is going to walk out to his car. Is Kellan being casual enough? Yes, Kellan Lutz called the paparazzi on himself. It was a brief conversation: "Hey, dude, in about ten minutes Kellan Lutz is going to walk out to his car, and Kellan Lutz is not going to be wearing a shirt. You dig?"

Kellan Lutz cannot be stopped. Kellan Lutz is a f-cking movie star, damn it. Kellan Lutz is bigger than a f-cking sparkle vampire British bullsh-t Robert F-cking Pattinson. Kellan Lutz knows that Pattinson had to have his "abs" painted on for his shirtless scenes. Kellan Lutz thinks this is funny. Kellan Lutz knows that the studio regrets not hiring Kellan Lutz for the part of Edward. Kellan Lutz knows that every time a producer sees Kellan shirtless, they say "Get me Kellan Lutz, stat!" Kellan Lutz is doing this for his career. Kellan Lutz works out three hours a day for Kellan Lutz's body. And Kellan Lutz knows it's worth it.

Does Kellan Lutz feel the darkness creeping in? Of course Kellan feels it. But Kellan Lutz just takes off Kellan's shirt and rides the wave. The wave's name? Kellan Lutz, bitches.

Jon Hamm on Don Draper: “I’m not that guy. I don’t really look like that.”

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 06:34 AM PDT

These photos aren't doing Jon Hamm justice. But to be fair, a bad photo of The Hamm is still one of the most awesome things you'll ever behold. Plus, I think The Hamm/Don Draper is supposed to look like hell in these photos - Draper is going through hell on the show, and he's supposed to be looking his age (and beyond) because of all of the hard living, drinking and whoring. But… when The Hamm puts on that suit and slicks back his hair and especially when he leans back in a chair and puts his arm back…like the iconic image from the posters, etc - well, there's really nothing better. Don is such an "American" character. That's what I always think. This is such a quintessentially American show, and the Draper character is our American darkness, while still being one of the best things about America. Sorry to go off on that tangent. My bad.

My mom and I were discussing Mad Men a few days ago, and talking about The Hamm and how good he looks in a suit, and she mentioned the infamous last episodes in Season 3, where we saw Draper in casual wear and he looked like a f-cking model. He was wearing chinos and a dark brown v-neck sweater, and it was pornographic in its sexiness. My mom said, "They should find a way to bring back that brown V-neck."

Anyway, just a few more excerpts from Mad Men's Rolling Stone cover story… The Hamm on Draper:

“I don’t really have that much in comparison to the way Don holds himself,” Jon Hamm, 39, tells the mag. “I’m not that guy. I don’t really look like that.”

He added, “Part of it is the suit, but another part is a choice. This is a person who takes himself very seriously at work, a guy who's going to walk in and command a room. I'm not that way in real life. I don't grab the mic.”

Hamm said he had seven tests and zero jobs before landing the “Mad Men” part. He told Rolling Stone that finding work as an actor helps him relate to Don Draper. “My life at the time was trying to get a job. Talk about ruthless — being an actor in L.A. and not working is nothing but hustling. I just really responded to it on some visceral level, and that may have been what Matt [Weiner] picked up on. That may be why the character resonates coming from me.”

[From Wonderwall]

At times, The Hamm has said that he brings lightness to a character which, on the page, could go very, very dark. I can see that - because Draper is a son of a bitch, honestly. It's only because The Hamm plays him so honestly, and because The Hamm is so gorgeous that we forgive Draper. Plus, we get to see every side of Don, which the other characters in the Mad Men universe don't get to see.

Jessica Alba just killed whatever goodwill we had for the mullet dress

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 06:06 AM PDT

Last night was the premiere of Machete at the Venice Film Festival. Once again, not an occasion for Lindsay Lohan's triumphant, cracked-out return to the red carpet (more on her in a sec). Basically, the only people who came to Venice were the two "leads" - Danny Trejo and Jessica Alba, and the one of the co-directors, Robert Rodriguez. Oh, and Tarantino was there - I think he produced it, but he probably just showed up for his buddy. Anyway, all I really care about is Alba and this dress. I mean… I get it. Alba is a "fashion girl" now. She gets the most press from what she wears, as opposed to her acting or talent or even her personal life. But I'm getting the feeling that Alba is not up the challenge of being a "fashion girl." She's a lot like that other Jessica, Madame Biel, in that way. Although I will give Alba some credit - I think her style is generally better than Biel's, but not by much.

So… the mullet dress. Why is this style popular? I've never understood. Ladies want to show off their legs in a short shirt, but they also want the drama of a long train. But that's the fashion equivalent of a mullet - business up front, party in the back. And it's just a cheesy look that I don't care for, on any lady, really. January Jones can't pull it off (at the Emmys). Neither can The Style Icon Cate Blanchett - her memorable mullet dress is 2007 Golden Globes fell flat, and she's never gone mullet again. Learn from La Blanchett, Alba. LEARN IT.

Back to Lohan for a sec - according to Us Weekly's sources, Lindsay wasn't even invited to the LA premiere of Machete last week. She made a big deal about not going because she didn't want to fall into a cracked-out cycle, and it turns out no one wanted her. Us Weekly's source claims that director Robert Rodriguez was "frantically trying to track down her manager to make sure she didn't go." Meanwhile, a rep for the studio says that is "not true… She wasn't welcome there.” Chuckle.

Demi Moore tweets then deletes bikini photos in wake of cheating scandal

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 05:44 AM PDT

Yesterday we heard that Star Magazine was claiming that Ashton Kutcher was spotted outside the bathroom of a popular LA restaurant making out with an unknown blonde woman. Ashton and his wife of five years promptly denied that story through the Twitter accounts they’re glued to, with Ashton threatening legal action against Star and Demi Moore retweeting and agreeing. Then at some point Demi tweeted two photos of herself in a bikini, taken with a cellphone camera in the bathroom like the true 16 year-old seeking online approval she is. Many outlets picked up the story, but when I went to Demi’s Twitter account and Twitpic to find those specific tweets/photos they were gone. Did she realize what a desperate move that was and try to take it back? It was too late as the damage was already done. She looks hot of course, but it’s not about how she looks for once. Here’s more:

Demi Moore is hot and she wants the world to know it! The 47-year-old actress shared some bikini photos of herself on Twitter just to remind everyone how sexy she is. The timing of the photos comes amid reports that husband Ashton Kutcher was caught cheating with a "mystery blonde." Who would want to compete with the near flawless Demi?

Ashton already debunked the rumors over Twitter, writing "I think Star magazine calling me a 'cheater' qualifies as defamation of character. I hope my lawyer agrees."

"STAR magazine – you don't get to stand behind 'freedom of the press' when you are writing fiction."

Demi wholeheartedly supported her hubby's Tweets and sent out a little message of her own!

The actress donned a snakeskin-print string bikini and dark sunglasses, striking a pose in her bathroom.

Her Tweets accompanying the self-portraits — "Maybe this is more like summer!" and "Finally a day off."

The happy couple attended a Snoop Dogg concert over weekend in Las Vegas, where Demi also showed off her young side doing a dirty dance in front of the audience.

[From OK! Magazine]

Just this once and just for today - I feel sorry for Demi and Ashton. I feel sorry for them if the story is true, and I feel sorry for them if it’s not. They’re insufferable fools but they don’t deserve this. It was a lame and obvious move for Demi to respond with a bikini pic, as if to say Ashton wouldn’t cheat on her because she’s hot. It doesn’t matter what their wives look like, cheaters are going to cheat. I don’t know if Ashton did it, and as many of you said yesterday I doubt he would be stupid enough to do it in a public place like that where he would be seen. I wouldn’t put it past him, though, just as I wouldn’t put it past anyone really. I’ve been very surprised by some of these cheating scandals. Demi is still hot, we get it, but that isn’t enough to address this maybe-scandal and has the whiff of sad desperation. Maybe she’ll start to rethink her use of Twitter when impulsive moves like this may come back to bite her in the tight ass. She hasn’t been tweeting as much lately.

You’ve probably already seen the video of Demi dancing onstage with Snoop Dogg like a fool at a show in Vegas over the weekend. Here’s another video of that, taken from the audience, and Ashton looks embarrassed to me. It’s hard to tell though.

Enquirer: John Travolta likes to bone dudes in spas

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 05:40 AM PDT

John Travolta's alleged big gay secret covers this week's National Enquirer. Unfortunately, the Enquirer hasn't released anything formally, so we're just stuck with summaries and the odd detail here and there. The basics: a book is about to be published called You'll Never Spa In This Town Again (clever… not really), by Robert Randolph. It's all about the "gay spa" culture, or rather, the "secret gay spa culture" in Hollywood. Randolph claims that Hollywood closeted dudes go to the "spa" for some mani/pedis and get some hot gay action on the side, I suppose. Here's what I could pull from assorted sources:

According to the National Enquirer, John Travolta is cheating on his wife of 19 years, Kelly Preston, just months before their baby is due.

“John Travolta has been cheating on Kelly for years! And when the details emerge, he’s gonna make Tiger Woods look like a boy scout,” said Robert Randolph, author of the memoir, You’ll Never Spa in This Town Again.

Apparently, Travolta has been a participant in Hollywood’s “secret gay spa subculture,” where the actor has engaged in “lewd sex acts with other men” on several occasions.

Robert said, “I met John in 1998, after he had married Kelly. I believe the marriage is a total fraud because John is totally into guys and has been having sex with them behind Kelly’s back for years. He came on to me a number of times. I always turned him down. But there was always some guy who was willing to have sex with him. And John didn’t stop cheating on Kelly after either of their children was born. John’s a cheating dog. It’s just been wrong, because his wife seems like such a sweet woman.”

Robert, who passed a lie detector test for his interview with the Enquirer, also said that John’s “secret gay life is one of Hollywood’s worst kept secrets. He blatantly cruises guys, and doesn’t seem to care who sees him. I saw him with his lover and he couldn’t get enough. And when the details emerge, he’s gonna make Tiger Woods look like a boy scout. John should come out of the closet already and stop living a lie. His wife Kelly deserves so much better.”

[From Perez Hilton, Dlisted]

Shocking. Oh wait… we all knew that Travolta loved dudes, right? I actually think he might be bisexual, honestly. I know that's a bold theory, but I do think he loves his wife and I believe he must have had sex with her on occasion. But, yes, in general, Travolta might prefer the man-meat. ALLEGEDLY. As for the whole "boning dudes at spas" thing - I guess spas are the fancier, A-List version of bathhouses? Could these closeted dudes come up with a cover story that actually doesn't sound like it's already a gay meeting place, though? Like, "John Travolta caught up in secret gay golf club culture." Or, "John Travolta cruises bears on the refrigerated toupee circuit."

Here are some extra photos of John and his lace-front, for your secret gay spa enjoyment:
