Swizz Beatz’s ex-wife Mashonda goes off on Alicia Keys in a new interview Posted: 06 Sep 2010 08:02 AM PDT I swear, this Alicia Keys-Mashonda Dean-Jahna Sebastian-Swizz Beatz is the biggest, most dramatic, clusterf-ck gossip story of the year, and it pains me that it's not getting more play. Is it all about race? If Alicia Keys was white, do you think there would be Us Weekly covers asking in ALL CAPS BOLD why she and her relationship are so damaged? I do. Anyway, Bossip has a new story that is really, really rough - Swizz Beatz's ex-wife mashonda has given yet another interview, this time to Sister 2 Sister Magazine. Before I get to the interview, I'd like to recap the events thus far: *Mashonda called Alicia and Swizz out for their affair last year in a open letter - Alicia and Swizz's affair began when Swizz and Mashonda were married and when their youngest child was only months old. Okay, now on to Mashonda's interview. This is… God, I just feel for Mashonda. It's one of those situations where I totally understand why the ex is still talking about the situation and the new girl, because the new girl is consistently f-cking with the ex's business. I just come away from this thinking that Alicia is ten different kinds of WRONG. This whole thing comes courtesy of Bossip:
[From Bossip] Once again - and this is much like the LeAnn Rimes stuff - I'm not saying it's a bad thing that a step-mother is trying to have a good relationship with her partner's children. But there's a difference between loving your partner's children like they're your own and just pulling some crazy, disrespectful Hand That Rocks The Cradle bullsh-t. It's not just about the kids - it's also about respecting the kids' relationship with their parents, you know? Mashonda is their mother. Respect that. And that poor Jahna Sebastian… I believe what Mashonda says about her too, and I think Jahna is getting royally screwed in this situation. It's kind of cool that Jahna and Mashonda are now friendly though. But don't you come away from this extremely frustrated with Alicia? It's not even like, "Oh, poor Alicia, she's just head-over-heels in love, she can't see that Swizz is a dog." Alicia is fully complicit in all of this, and she's going out of her way to instigate sh-t. Bitch. Why aren't more people calling her out on this crap? |

George Clooney’s lack of promotion for ‘The American’ won the box office Posted: 06 Sep 2010 06:38 AM PDT These are some additional photos of George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis last Thursday. This paparazzi-friendly photo op was pretty much the only "promotion" Clooney did as an actor to promote The American, which came out last Wednesday. He didn't do any big interviews, no magazine profiles, no premieres, no film festivals. It was just some pap photos, an appearance at the Emmys to pick up the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award, and lots of commercials for the film. That's it. And he won the weekend box office! CB and I thought The American was going to tank, and I really though Machete would do much better (it came in second). However, according to Deadline Hollywood, it's not all good news:
[From Deadline Hollywood] I kind of think that an estimated 6-day opening of $19 million with absolutely no exertion is still kind of awesome - it speaks to Clooney's die-hard fan base, and also the wisdom of the adult moviegoer. Of course, there are still questions: why did Clooney not do anything for the film? Lainey at LaineyGossip is wondering aloud if there's some kind of story/gossip to go along with it, but there's always the possibility that though reviewers didn't hate the film, Clooney knew he made a dud and he wanted people to forget it.

Wyclef Jean says Sean Penn was too coked up to meet him in Haiti Posted: 06 Sep 2010 05:58 AM PDT A few months ago, Wylcef Jean threw his hat into the ring to be a nominee in Haiti's presidential election. Wyclef made major waves in America - he is perhaps the best-known Haitian in the American media's mind, so he got lots of play. Unfortunately, in the end, Wyclef was ineligible to be a presidential nominee because of some regulations regarding residency - it seemed Wyclef had been living in new Jersey too long, and not Port-au-Prince. So just like that, Wyclef's bid was over. And now it's time for Wylcef to call out the haters. Clef's ex-Fugee friend Pras made an impassioned and well-spoken argument for why Clef shouldn't be Haiti's president, but one of the biggest cut-downs was made by Sean Penn, who sat down with Larry King. Sean has become something of an honorary Haitian, and has spent months working in Haiti post-earthquake. Here's part of what Sean said after Wyclef announced his bid:
[From CNN] So it's clear that Sean at that point had never met Wyclef, and probably had no interest in meeting him either. But now it's Clef's turn to give his side of the story for why they never met - apparently, it had something to do with Sean being a cokehead…? "If I was president….I got a message for Sean Penn, maybe he ain’t see me in Haiti because he was too busy sniffing cocaine. I got a message for Praswell, even though you don’t want to support me, I got love for you, even though you only kicked eight bars in the Fugees.” [From Gawker] Clef is kind of a whiny little baby, right? It's not Sean Penn's fault that Clef didn't meet the residency requirements. That being said, if Sean is a cokehead, it wouldn't surprise me. At all. The Pras dis was rough too, right? UGH. Clef needs to get a grip. |
Jay Leno makes inappropriate pregnancy joke to Bristol Palin on the Tonight Show Posted: 06 Sep 2010 05:44 AM PDT
Bristol Palin was a guest on The Tonight Show on Friday. She did a decent job and kind of rolled with it, but I still found her very bland. She’s 19 years old and doesn’t have a lot to say, nor does she seem comfortable with the media. That’s fine and a lot of people are like that, but the vast majority of them don’t pursue fame, either. Bristol told Jay that she learned that she was invited to be on Dancing With The Stars through a text message she received while working at her day job as an office manager at a dermatologists. The way she explained it was simple - she decided to follow up on it and here she is. There was no mention of whether it was hypocritical of her to be on the show when she previously blasted Levi for being “obsessed with the limelight.” The thing that stuck out for me in this interview, and you can read it below and watch above, is Jay’s really stupid inappropriate comment to Bristol about getting pregnant. It was uncalled for and didn’t make sense, as if he was waiting to make a bad pregnancy joke and then tried to shoehorn it in there.
What the hell is Jay talking about “that’s also how you get pregnant“? What does that mean in response to a 19 year-old girl saying that she can’t dance? It’s so wildly off the mark that it just goes to show what this old dude is thinking about. The people in the audience groaned loudly at that one, and so they should have. Remember when Letterman made a dumb joke about Bristol getting knocked up at a Yankees game but was accidentally referring to Sarah’s youngest daughter, Willow? Sarah and her husband freaked out about that and said that Letterman was joking about statutory rape. Letterman then apologized and Sarah accepted, and the whole thing was blown out of proportion, in my opinion. Anyway is Palin going to call Leno on this? It was a dumb joke and one that she’ll probably let go. I bet she’s seething over it, though. Jay’s show is not doing as well as hoped, but he’s still hanging in there for some reason. It’s not because he’s particularly funny or has strong interview skills that’s for sure. Here’s the first part of Bristol’s interview:

Teresa Giuidice accused of hiding $250k in assets in bankruptcy filing Posted: 06 Sep 2010 05:37 AM PDT
[From Popeater] Every move this woman makes shows what an entitled arrogant person she is. She has no shame and will stop at nothing to continue to buy whatever she wants so she can live however she wants. I just feel sorry for her kids. As for those rumors that the “nephew” that Danielle Staub brought up on the reunion show last week was Teresa’s husband’s lovechild, several of you mentioned another possible reason why Teresa flew into a rage. (As if she needs a reason.) There’s a story that she has a nephew that is of mixed race, which her low class family refuses to acknowledge. I was unable to verify that at all, though. I had the chance to read the full dumb interview with Teresa and Joe in In Touch, and they don’t address the cheating rumors except to say that Teresa “laughed” at that story and that they’re solid. Joe volunteers that they “still make love once, sometimes twice, a day.” Thank you for sharing. That really puts me off my lunch and now I’m imagining fur flying and cats mating. Here’s Teresa looking lovely on 9/1 and 9/5/10. Credit: WENN.com |
Michaele Salahi of RHODC to pose nude in Playboy Posted: 06 Sep 2010 05:30 AM PDT
[From TMZ] This is somewhat better than putting out a sex tape Danielle Staub style, but it’s along the same lines. Salahi was called anorexic by another housewife on her show, which she claimed is untrue while admitting to a diet that consists of less than 900 calories a day. Here’s some validation for her starvation and whole fame-whoring existence in the pages of Playboy. I hope they’re not stupid enough to give her the cover, not that it means much lately. I didn’t know what the hell to say about this except to make fun of this woman, so I looked through the comments on HuffPo until I found some good ones. Here are my favorites:
[From Huffington Post comments] The last we heard about Michaele, her former personal assistant went on the record to tell Star Magazine what a slob her former employers were, describing their home as “almost like a hoarder's house” with filth and papers laying all over. I guess she’s skanky in more ways than just the obvious. Photo credit: In Touch Weekly |
Morrissey calls the Chinese people a “subspecies” & refuses to apologize Posted: 05 Sep 2010 09:25 AM PDT This story comes via Gawker, and it's slightly complicated because there's some back-and-forth and some history to it. Basically, British singer and former Smiths front-man Morrissey is a racist douche. What's interesting is that he has no plans to apologize for being a racist douche, or for his sketchy history of racist comments, and that his fans probably still love him. So, in an interview with this weekend's Guardian Magazine (UK), Morrissey began talking about animal rights (he's a big animal rights guy), and how pissed he was that China still has a pretty terrible animal rights record. This is part of what he said:
[From The Guardian] That's right, a "subspecies." This is not Morrissey's first brush with race-tingled comments:
[From The Guardian] During those past incidents, Morrissey apologized or revamped his comments, claiming he was misunderstood or misquoted, or that he didn't really mean anything. In 2008, he even donated about $40,000 to Love Music Hate Racism as a way to apologize for the comments about England. That organization, LMHR, is now bashing Morrissey for the "subspecies" comment.
[From The Guardian] And Morrissey doesn't seem to be in a mood to retract the "subspecies" comment either. The interviewer notes that "I thought at the time it was a dangerous thing to say into a tape recorder. He must have known it would make waves, he’s not daft. But he’s provocative and theatrical, and it was one of dozens of dramatic pronouncements. I’m not an apologist for that kind of remark, and couldn’t ignore it. But clearly, when it comes to animal rights and animal welfare, he’s absolutely unshakable in his beliefs. In his view, if you treat an animal badly, you are less than human. I think that was his point.” And Morrissey offered this statement in the wake of The Guardian's interview: “If anyone has seen the horrific and unwatchable footage of the Chinese cat and dog trade – animals skinned alive – then they could not possibly argue in favour of China as a caring nation. There are no animal protection laws in China and this results in the worst animal abuse and cruelty on the planet. It is indefensible.” Of course, Morrissey also had some other lovely things to say. On "people" he says, “They are problems.” On being a lonely prig, he says, "We’re all lonely, but I’d rather be lonely by myself than with a long list of duties and obligations. I think that’s why people kill themselves, really. Or at least that’s why they think, ‘Thank heaven for death.'" And on the subject of cats, he says, "Yes. Cats. I’ve had lots of cats. But also many bereavements.” Just to be clear, and offer my own opinion: I think Morrissey's comments are reprehensible, and the fact that he's sticking by them is even worse. If his point was to raise awareness about the lack of animal rights in China, he failed. Morrissey and his racism are now the topic. While I understand the anger he feels as an animal rights activist, referring to one billion Chinese people as a "subspecies" is f-cking horrible, and reminiscent of ye olde racist arguments that there is a genetic/evolutionary argument to be made to defend one's racism. Now, I prefer animals to people as well, but I don't care enough to break up my dislike of people based into "subspecies" and "not that deplorable, also: white."
