Mel Gibson has a bitchy, mustached exchange with paparazzo

I know a lot of you hate going to TMZ, but you have to. TMZ has photos HERE of Mel Gibson in a "disguise" and it is… unbelievable. Mel is wearing a big, fake, grey mustache, like he's trying to be Wilford Brimley's "Diabeetus" Kitty. It's hilarious. Anyway, Mel didn't just get himself pap'd in a f-cking "disguise" - no, he also had a one-one run-in with a paparazzo, and Mel was, predictably, a total dick:

Another bizarre Mel Gibson moment. On Monday, he had an odd exchange with paparazzi in Los Angeles, trying to film them in the back of a car on his camera phone, TMZ reports.

Sporting a bushy mustache (a la onetime Quaker Oats spokesman Wilford Brimley) and donning thick black glasses and a ball cap, he first approached the car, asking one of the celeb shutterbugs to roll down his window.

“What’s the matter?” he asked. “Got nothing better to do?”

After rolling down his window, the photographer then hurled a bunch of questions at the 54-year-old actor, who is currently embroiled in an ugly custody battle with ex Oksana Grigorieva, mother of his 9-month-old daughter Lucia.

“I just wondered if you really hit Oksana,” he asked, adding: “Do you think you’ll ever make a movie in Hollywood again?”

He also asked Gibson if he’d ever work with “anybody of any race or any creed or sexual orientation” again, given that Gibson made numerous racial slurs during phone conversations with Grigorieva, 40, that were leaked this summer.

Known for his wild temper, Gibson surprisingly played it cool. “You got a lot of dialogue, don’t you?” he asked.

The photographer replied, “Do you have anything to say for yourself?”

“Not to you,” Gibson shot back. “I just wanted to film you. Thanks for following us around.”

Before walking away, he asked, “What’s it like sniffing other people’s laundry?”

"What’s it like sniffing other people’s laundry?” Oh, Mel. You glum c-nt. Why don't you shut up and blow me. BEFORE THE JUCUZZI. You know what that paparazzo was doing? He was snapping photos that he probably sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars, because of the added value of Mel as "Diabeetus Kitty".

Snooki used to be bulimic, anorexic, but is now a healthy orange potato

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 08:12 AM PDT

okmag

Snooki and the Jersey Shore people got TWO tabloid covers this week - OK! Magazine has the Strange Orange Potato (SOP) and her struggle with anorexia and bulimia, while Us Weekly has "Jersey Shore's Secret Fights." Meh. But I did find the SOP's struggles slightly interesting. I didn't know that she had dealt with eating disorders before - and I guess it was serious, or else she wouldn't be saying "I almost died!" Unless that's just hyperbole and she just used took a few laxatives when she felt bloated, and now it's like, "ZOMG, I COULD HAVE DIED, Y’ALL." Fascinating.

Jersey Shore's Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is an icon for the reality-show era — famous for being her bronzed, brawling, poufed, profane, fist-pumping 4-foot-9-inch self. She's also lucky to be alive. Just a few years ago, the 22-year-old was a painfully insecure Poughkeepsie, N.Y., teenager suffering from two potentially deadly eating disorders: anorexia and bulimia.

OK! caught up with Snooki at L.A.'s The London hotel, where she was in town for the MTV Video Music Awards. There, she shared her struggle and how she finally learned to have a positive self-image.

[From OK! Magazine]

Wait, so the Snooki we see now is her having a positive self-image? Oh, honey. NO. No one who is that f-cking orange has a positive self-image. She once buried her feelings in self-abuse by sticking her finger down her throat, and now she buries her feelings in layers of ORANGE. But, hey, the poof is gone, right? Baby steps.

Kate Gosselin in a bikini on the cover of People: “The Truth about My New Body”

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 08:11 AM PDT

kategosselinbikini
Not since People featured Heidi Montag and her 10 surgical procedures have they stooped so low. (Well maybe when they featured Kate Gosselin’s new hair.) This week most of us will try to look away when confronted with Kate Gosselin’s smug mug and plastic surgery and Photoshop-enhanced body on the cover of People. Kate must have been jealous when she had to share the cover with Melissa Joan Hart’s bikini body last year, and at long last she has her own cover featuring her bolt-on boobs, cheap-looking weave and big veneers. In the teaser article on People’s website, Kate denies nailing her kiwi bodyguard, but it’s obvious she is, and they promise she’ll address the rumors of botox and boob jobs. You know she’s going to deny all that too despite her painful-looking wonk eye and those melon tits. Compare these recent bikini pictures of Kate to that cover.

She flaunted her body after (eight!) babies on the last season of Dancing with the Stars. But it turns out Kate Gosselin was just getting warmed up.

At 35, the reality TV mom says she is now “the most fit I’ve ever been.” How? She credits near-daily runs outside her Wernersville, Penn., home – and she’s not afraid to show off the results.

“I’ve worked really hard!” she tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. “Haven’t I earned the right, at this point, to look good?”

While the single mom shoots down incessant tabloid reports linking her to her bodyguard – “It’s just absurd,” Gosselin says – she does hope her new body will turn some heads. “I’m waiting for Mr. Right. It would be nice if somebody noticed me, sure!”

For much more with Kate – including exclusive photos and answers on those plastic surgery and Botox rumors – pick up the new issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

[From People]

She probably started exercising so much when she realized that it was yet another activity that allowed her to spend extended time away from her kids along with tanning, having her weave re-done and getting mani-pedis. Is Kate a decent seller for People? I guess she must be since this is the fourth People cover she’s scored this year. People love to hate her, and for good reason. My thoughts when I read Kate’s comment “Haven’t I earned the right, at this point, to look good?” were “no” and “you don’t look good either.” You can’t diet away ugly. I must be a jealous h8ter.

Isn’t she lovely?

Teresa Guidice shows off her “amazing” daughters on the ITW cover

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 07:53 AM PDT

itw1

CB and I were slightly "stunned" to see this week's cover of In Touch. It features RHONJ's Teresa Giudice and her children and… um. Yes, CB and I have decided it would be best not to discuss our thoughts on the cover in general, because even though we're bitches, we're not the horrible monsters people would like to think. I mean… yes, Teresa is putting her children out there, in the public sphere, by putting them on the cover and thus, inviting us to comment. But I won't take the bait! And just keep in mind, commenters, just keep your thoughts relatively nice-ish. I don't want fifty comments criticizing these children, even if they are in the public sphere. Instead, I just choose to feel sorry for these kids. I mean, to have those parents… and to be on the cover of ITW? GOD. Poor kids. Anyway, the story:

For Teresa Giudice, the past few months have been the roughest of roller-coaster rides. Now a household name, thanks to her star-making turn on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa saw it all marred by the shock of learning that she and her husband, Joe, were $11 million in debt — and needed to file for bankruptcy.

And as if her financial turmoil wasn't enough, the 37-year-old mom has, in recent weeks, been subject to a slew of insults and unsavory rumors — including talk that Joe has fathered a love child with her sister-in-law and an embarrassing article in Steppin' Out magazine, in which fellow Housewife — and arch-enemy — Danielle Staub compared her physically to "Cornelius from Planet of the Apes."

Teresa admits that, emotionally, this has been the most difficult period of her life.

"First the bankruptcy thing and then all the rumors," she tells In Touch in an exclusive interview. "It's like people have nothing better to do — it's pretty sad."

But as upset as she's been by it all, Teresa remains strong. And she credits her four children with keeping her that way.

"I mean look at them, they're just amazing," she says of her daughters, Gia, 9, Gabriella, 6, Milania, 5, and Audriana, 1. "They're just so beautiful, and they make me happy. I live for being a mom."

[From In Touch Weekly]

Question: is Teresa a good mother? I've only watched a few episodes of RHONJ, and she struck me as not the best mother overall, but not the worst either. Just sort of dumb, but she was trying to be involved, right? Are the kids happy? They look happy. Kind of. It's hard to tell. Okay, I'm stopping.

Drew Barrymore’s new face: weight loss, aging, plastic surgery or Photoshop?

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 07:27 AM PDT

hbz-oct-2010-cover-drew

Drew Barrymore is the cover girl for the October issue of Harper's Bazaar. They Photoshopped the hell out of her face for the cover, right? And yet the rest of the photo shoot is rather lovely - apparently, Drew had the concept of doing it all like a Playboy photo shoot from the 1960s, with a little Sharon Tate thrown in. This look kind of works for Drew, I have to admit. Anyway, I guess Drew is the cover interview because she's promoting Going the Distance. Meh. Since I don't care about that or about her whatever relationship with Justin Long, you can read the full piece at Bazaar if you'd like - I'm just going to do the highlights I'm interested in. The gist of the interview is that they're doing it like an eHarmony questionnaire.

On losing her "baby fat": Even though she’s in sweats, Drew looks pretty dreamy. She is lightly tanned from a solo trip to India, and her bone structure has popped. “I feel like some of my baby fat is going away,” she observes, “and that’s not just physically, it’s psychologically. I think that your body is in tune with your mind and your spirituality and your heart. If things are going better, I just think you look better.”

Describe yourself: warm, clever, dominant, ambitious, outgoing, agreeable, modest, submissive, lazy, introverted, aloof, quarrelsome, cold, gregarious, arrogant.
Drew Barrymore: “Not ambitious, arrogant, or cold. Lazy? No, I’m not lazy enough. Dominant—more so than people would think. I’m a total control freak and love to participate in the design of every single aspect of life.”

Impulsive, stable, energetic, spiritual, adventuresome, frugal, predictable, affectionate, organized, intelligent, compassionate, attractive, loyal, witty, neat.
DB: “All of the above, apart from frugal. I can be frivolous more than frugal.”

On being alone: “I was good in my early teens, and then I got really bad at being alone for like 10 years. And then for the last decade I’ve developed such a love of my independence that I have to go, Okay, you’ve had dinner by yourself three nights in a row, now you have to see your friends.” Howard Hughes rising? “Oh, yes. I’ll be peeing in jars momentarily.”

On healing herself: “Oh, I would love to be a motivational speaker,” she says. “I have pulled myself out of a million potholes, and I can see the potholes ahead of me. That doesn’t mean that I could always do that so perfectly for my own life. I totally fall in potholes. Sometimes I fall so goddamn deep, I’ve got broken legs and I have to mend myself in the well and crawl back out.” That would be especially tough if it was a hole full of pot. She chuckles and says, “Well, I like those holes.”

I enjoy work for work’s sake.
DB: “No, I enjoy work because I am a fanatic about it.”

I enjoy mingling with people at social occasions.
DB: “Less and less.”

I am satisfied with my level of emotional development.
DB: “At this current moment? Yes. I have not been proud in the past, and I assume I won’t be proud in the future, but right now, goddamn it, yes.”

I like to spend my spare time being physically active.
DB: “I actually really love to lie in bed, watch TV, be a total sloth, and eat my favorite food: Kraft macaroni and cheese. Last night I was watching The Next Food Network Star, eating mac and cheese, and feeling grand. And that was after I wore a sequined Givenchy gown with giant holes cut out of it.”

On exercise and body image: Drew’s “two or three hours of exercise” a week is paying off. “But,” she cautions, “there is some lighting where I absolutely resemble Shamu. People have to know that you pick the best pictures where the lighting is beautiful and the angles are right and the body positions are gorgeous. And then, guess what, you turn, sit, hit the wrong light, and your belly flaps over and we all look human again.” Drew won’t be giving Jillian Michaels a run for her money anytime soon, though. “I can apply myself at my job 20 hours a day, seven days a week. But I can’t apply myself to my body more than a couple hours a week. I have no passion for fanaticism. The psychology when you just forgive yourself and enjoy what nature gave you is so liberating.”

On being 35 years old: “For me, it’s very magical,” she says. “It’s funny, because whenever they parody me on Saturday Night Live, they always say the word magical. But 35 is an incredible year for me. It’s just a very auspicious time.”

[From Harper's Bazaar]

Yes, she's very cute, in a cloying hippie-dippy way, but still, I can’t really bash her. I still can't believe Drew is 35 years old - in my mind, she's still in her early 20s. That's the way she still acts, honestly. But I buy Drew's girlish act, because I really do think she's that bubbly and vivacious and silly, although she definitely has a strong work ethic. Now I just want her to make better movies, you know? Going the Distance looks like a turd of a rom-com.

Also - I totally think Drew is right about "losing her baby fat" - look at those cheekbones! Her face doesn't look tweaked, it's just aging and losing weight and stuff. She looks lovely.

Jessica Simpson and BFF Ken Paves may have broken up

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 07:17 AM PDT

NEW YORK - MAY 06: Stylist Ken Paves, singer Jessica Simpson and Operation Smile patient Meena attend the 2010 Operation Smile annual gala at Cipriani, Wall Street on May 6, 2010 in New York City. (Photo by Bryan Bedder/Getty Images)
We got an e-mail from someone last week asking us to look into the fact that Jessica Simpson’s ever-present hairdresser BFF, Ken Paves, was no longer hanging out with her. They wrote “[Ken] is not in NYC doing hair for Jess & her girls for her fashion show & has completley distanced himself from the Simpsons… Something is wrong here.” Sure enough Ken wasn’t around when Jessica had her big fashion show, so she hung all over her new man Eric Johnson instead. Kaiser mentioned this rumor when we first heard about it and wondered if Ken didn’t like Eric or if Jessica and Ken were fighting over something. E! has some insider information that these two are over, and quotes a source who claims “They had a major fight” and “Jessica’s devastated.” Ken denies that he’s upset with Jessica, but he does admit that he hasn’t seen much of her lately.

However, according to a source close to the singer, the hitherto constant companions are “over.” The suddenly former BFFs, almost inseparable over the years, had some problems over the summer, with Paves no longer speaking to Simpson over “something petty.”

“They’ve had a major fight,” the Simpson insider tells E! News. “Jessica’s devastated over it, she loves Ken. He just won’t speak to her at all.”

Simpson tried to make amends, even inviting Paves along to her 30th birthday party in Capri in July, where she brought along her family, girlfriends and new boyfriend Eric Johnson for a relaxing getaway.

Paves, who was always Jessica’s shoulder to cry on though her many loves and losses, turned her down.

“She was so upset,” says the source.

Along with some other drama, Jessica is said to be upset that Ken has been tweeting his love for his other galpal, Eva Longoria, calling her his “best friend.”

“Jessica was heartbroken, they were so close. Maybe one of them will come around,” the source says.

Paves and Simpson, who even collaborated a line of clip-on hair extensions called Hairdo, haven’t been snapped shopping or dining together in months, but maybe Paves is softening, reaching out over Twitter, saying sorry for the loss of Jessica’s beloved pooch, Daisy in early Sept..

But on Sept. 12, Ken tweeted that he loved his friends, and did not include Jessica in those he mentioned.

Still, there’s hope these two kids could work it out. Although Paves did not attend her denim debut at Fashion Week in New York, he did send her a tweet reading, “@JessicaSimpson have an amazing show!! Strut your stuff ladies!”

And he insists there’s no rift between the two, telling E! News he’s been unable to travel to see her because of projects.

“Jessica and I are definitely still friends. Jess is very supportive of my other relationships as I am of hers! The truth is we have both been busy and on different schedules,” he says. “I know Jessica is very excited for me! I’ve brought her dad Joe on to manage these projects. It’s all in the family! We are all definitely still friends…”

[From E! Online]

Jessica may be the type of person who ignores her best friend when she has a new boyfriend or maybe Ken just couldn’t deal with the fact that Eric was hanging around all the time. It’s got to hurt, though, to be replaced by Eva Longoria. Ken has also been tweeting with a Singer named Nyke Prince and has posted photos hanging out with her and several other people. Maybe these two just grew apart or Ken got other friends. It happens. I guess Jessica is going to have to find another sperm donor if she finds herself single and 40. She’s got time.

Matt Damon compares Ben Affleck’s career to Clint Eastwood’s

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 06:46 AM PDT

fp_5729874_thetown_ram_0914
Ideally Kaiser should be doing this post on the Boston premiere of The Town since two of her men are in this film: The Hamm and Jeremy Renner. She graciously offered it to me, though, as my all time favorite, Matt Damon, was there with his pregnant wife, Luciana. I get dibs when Damon is involved. Damon and Luciana were dressed casually in jeans and black t-shirts and both looked adorable. We don’t know how far along Luciana is exactly with her fourth child, but Damon told People that she’s in her last trimester and joked that he’s been dodging punches from her. He also said Luciana “looks amazing” and added “she's been pregnant basically for more than half of the last five years and she's been nursing the other half so I've definitely asked about as much as I can from my wife.”

Affleck’s better half, Jennifer Garner, wasn’t at the premiere last night. She’s been working in New York City filming Arthur, and may have had other commitments. Damon spoke to the AP and had high praise for Affleck’s directing skill. He compared his friend’s career to Clint Eastwood’s in that Eastwood also starred in a few clunkers before he became a renowned director:

Even as Affleck delivered hits such as “The Sum of All Fears” and “Paycheck,” critics perpetually knocked his performances as stiff and leaden.
The lowpoint was “Gigli,” the 2003 bomb he made with Jennifer Lopez amid the maelstrom of gossip over their romance, before he settled down and had a family with Jennifer Garner.

Then came “Hollywoodland,” which earned Affleck a Golden Globe nomination. He followed with his acclaimed directing debut on “Gone Baby Gone.”
Now Affleck returns with “The Town,” a genre-bending bank-heist thriller that is loaded with action but also heavy on gritty working-class drama and sweet romance. He directs and stars, delivering what Damon called the “best performance I’ve seen in a long time.”

“This one is really, I think, the one where people are just going to remember who he is and let all of the other stuff go,” said Damon, who shared a screenplay Academy Award with Affleck for “Good Will Hunting.” “He’s just a monumentally talented guy. In a lot of ways, I always think of Clint, because Clint was doing orangutan movies, and people weren’t taking him as seriously. And look at the second half of his career. He’s an icon. And I really feel like that’s the kind of career Ben’s going to have.”

Damon has starred in two films directed by Eastwood, last year’s “Invictus” and the upcoming “Hereafter.” So he’s in a good position to compare and contrast his pal Affleck and grand old master Eastwood.

Hearing of Damon’s high praise, Affleck smiled.

“Who needs a publicist when you’ve got a friend like Matt?” Affleck said in an interview at the Toronto International Film Festival, where “The Town” played in advance of its theatrical release on Friday. “I’ve got to pay this guy.”

[From AP via Yahoo! News]

Damon could be right - The Town looks incredible and could go a long way in resurrecting Affleck’s career. As for how Affleck handled the dual roles of directing and acting, his costar Rebecca Hall said it seemed effortless and was impressive to watch. “I couldn’t get my head around the idea that someone could think about the whole story and that [his character] at the same time, because in a way, they’re sort of mutually exclusive. But he’s so incredibly smart. His sharpness and intelligence just pervade everything he does.” I’m excited for this film. It’s out in the US on September 17, and in Germany where I live on September 23. That’s excellent news as we often have to wait over a month to see new movies. I bet it’s going to earn some great reviews and it should be well remembered during awards season.

Here are photos from the premiere featuring Matt, Ben, Jeremy Renner looking cute, Jon Hamm dapper in a twill cap, Rebecca Hall in yet another fashion failure, Blake Lively playing peek-a-boob, and Chris Cooper. I love him!

Brian Austin Green is kind of sweet, smart & interesting: who knew?

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 06:46 AM PDT

wenn2996546

Brian Austin Green is interviewed in the new issue of Details Magazine (the one with The Hamm on the cover). Now, I've never really formed a full-fledged opinion of BAG as an adult. I thought he was ridiculously cheesy back in his 90210 days, and when he was all grown up and being the "silent partner" to Megan Fox, I often wondered if he was just as stupid as Megan, or if he was the kind of guy who liked to be with really insecure, dumb women because that's the way he got his rocks off. But in this Details piece, BAG comes across as… nice. Likeable. Intelligent and interesting and a guy with sh-t to say. Granted, he's not a brain surgeon or anything, but I wasn't expecting to think he would be this nice and down-to-earth. The full Details piece is here - and here are some highlights:

Details: You were on the original Beverly Hills 90210 for 10 years—a show that defined America to the world.
Brian Austin Green: In a bright, flashy, horrible-hair kind of way. Let’s be honest.

Details: The hair didn’t seem as horrible at the time.
Brian Austin Green: I was just talking to the guy behind the bar, who said, “I used to love the original 90210 . . . the new one is not so good.” And my response is, “Of course not.” 90210 only worked because of that time period—because the world didn’t have access to a lifestyle like that. The Internet wasn’t what it is now. With TMZ and Paris Hilton wrecking cars and people being chased on freeways, there’s nothing interesting about Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills is nothing anymore.

Details: Do the paparazzi hound you?
Brian Austin Green: It wasn’t so much of a problem before Megan, but once Transformers hit, that was it. I had never experienced paparazzi on that level, because during 90210 they were still developing pictures and selling them by hand. It was a whole different experience.

Details: Some of the glamour and magic of Hollywood has been eroded.
Brian Austin Green: As someone who still loves movies and television, I honestly don’t want to know what Mel Gibson is like at home. I want to watch Braveheart. I don’t want any of the personal stuff. I’m not saying Mel’s choices are the best—obviously not—but it’s a shame that no one will enjoy a Mel Gibson film in the same way again. Mel made a business out of being nuts on camera, out of his f-cking mind. And it’s like, what, do you expect him to be totally normal at home? It’s not possible.

Details: What was it like to be famous in the nineties?
Brian Austin Green: Car shows. Mall appearances. And Grad Nite at Disneyland. Times were simple then. But now—just today we had a guy in the grocery store with his camera phone videotaping us walking down the aisles. And there’s nothing I can do about it, other than take the guy’s phone and drive off with it. Then there’d be a video with a headline: STEALING CAMERAS? WHAT’S BECOME OF BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN? THE MARRIAGE MUST NOT BE GOING WELL. AND HE’S NOT WORKING MUCH LATELY.

Details: You’re on the new season of Desperate Housewives. How did you land that?
Brian Austin Green: I was in Hawaii on my honeymoon, and I got a call from my manager saying, “Marc Cherry wants to sit down with you. He’d like to have you read. Just a couple scenes.” I said, “Of course.” I’m not against auditioning. I audition for everything. The best parts you have to audition for. The ones that I’m offered are the ones like Megalodon 2: This Time It’s Personal.

Details: You play a buff contractor.
Brian Austin Green: Sweaty guy with a hammer. A lot of tank tops. I’ve got to say it’s a whole new world for me. I’ve never played a hunky guy. There was one day when I had to take my shirt off. I must have done 400 push-ups. I feel like I understand the pressure that women go through. I feel, like, all-woman at times.

Details: I hear that you’re actually pretty good with a hammer.
Brian Austin Green: I built a theater with a friend in Los Angeles, yeah. I spent months hanging drywall. I own a level, and I know how to use it. And I have a chalk line also. You might want to throw that in there.

Details: Does Megan tease you about this new ab-conscious role?
Brian Austin Green: She does. She busts my balls just enough to make me laugh and not feel self-conscious about what I’m doing. She’s good about it.

Details: You’ve married Megan Fox and turned her into a stepmom—not the role most of us imagine her in.
Brian Austin Green: She is absolutely my better half in parenting. She just gets it. It’s instinctual for her. She loves my son, Kassius. And from the time we started dating—you know, she was 18—she stepped in and took control. It’s unbelievable. At 18, I was like, “Hey, which club is open tonight? And how cool do my pants look? Can I sneak a drink across the bar without getting caught?”

Details: Was the nearly 13-year age difference a concern at any point?
Brian Austin Green: When we met, I had just separated from Kash’s mom and a relationship was the last thing on my mind. It’s not something I ever thought would be serious. But she brought out parts of me that I had lost in my last relationship. I had come off of 90210, and I never wanted to leave my house. I was afraid of the press. I was afraid of people’s opinions of me. I would walk into a Coffee Bean and not want to look the guy behind the counter in the eyes because I was afraid he was thinking, “Oh, that’s that ridiculous guy from 90210 who put out the hip-hop album.” Megan was a big part of boosting my confidence. And at the same time, I was somebody responsible and grounded for her to be around. We just matched.

Details: Your relationship was often described as on-again, off-again.
Brian Austin Green: We’ve been together for six years. Find a picture of one of us with any other boyfriend or girlfriend—I challenge you. You’ll only find pictures of her doing press with Shia LaBeouf or me with my son. That’s it. We never once dated anyone else or did anything else.

Details: Did you ever try to give her advice on navigating the world of celebrity?
Brian Austin Green: You know, in the beginning, she didn’t really want to hear the comparisons, because it was her own crazy road, and it was overwhelming, and she wanted to figure it all out on her own. But now we sit and we share stories, and we’ve found the commonality of it all. It’s the most backwards, f-cked-up love story you’ve ever heard. And it worked. And the day that I said, “I do,” I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life. And it was the absolute perfect start to what we hope will be an amazing life together.

Details: She’s a lot more famous than you are right now. Is that intimidating?
Brian Austin Green: I know the normal male thing is the man works and is successful and brings home the paycheck. I don’t know who the hell set it up, but it’s what people expect. I just don’t care. I hated being famous during 90210. I’m not an extrovert. I’m 37. I have a beautiful wife. I have an amazing 8-year-old son. I love acting, but this is just my job. F-ck, next year I could book some crazy movie that blows up and things could shift completely. And I guarantee you at that point she’ll say, “F-ck, thank God. You go do all that sh-t now. I’m sick of it.”

See? He sounds grounded. Accepting that his wife is more famous, and he's also the first one to defuse the onslaught of 90210 jokes by making sure he makes them first - it's very clever. I took out all the parts about his rap career, because I found that a little sad, but whatever. He sounds nice. I'm a fan. I hope he gets more television work. Maybe a guest spot on the new Law & Order: LA. Maybe The Closer! I could see that.

Star: Ashton Kutcher cheated on Demi Moore, another woman claims (update)

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 06:19 AM PDT

wenn5473325

The first week of September brought an interesting tabloid story of high-profile infidelity. The story came from Star Magazine, and it was about Ashton Kutcher almost nailing a "young hot blonde" in the bathroom/hallway of Madeo. Within hours of Star Mag's story being released online, Ashton responded to Star on his Twitter account, vaguely threatening to sue. Demi Moore re-tweeted Ashton's tweets, and sounded like a robot. All in all, it was a strange story, and I still kind of bought it, despite Ashton's strange denial. What's interesting to point out - Star Mag didn't even feature the story as their big cover story - it was just a side story, featured smaller on the cover.

Anyway, Star Mag's editor must have gigantor brass ones, because he/she is doubling down on the Ashton-is-cheating story. According to Lainey at LaineyGossip (who seemed to have an advanced copy of Star), Star's cover story this week is about Ashton cheating on Demi - with a completely different girl than the Madeo grinder, apparently. Here's what Lainey had:

This week, Star once again will feature Ashton's alleged infidelity on its cover. A 21 year old woman has apparently stepped forward claiming that she f-cked him when Demi was out of town and, obviously, they had "incredible chemistry". Don't they always?

So what happens next?

Another Twitter denial? Another lawsuit threat? And then what?

I don't trust Star. And I also don't think Ashton is indiscreet to the point of such easy detection. So no, crazy as it may seem, I don't buy this story. But I am also tired of the empty lawsuit waving.

In fairness to celebrities, it is a challenge to win some of these cases. And most times they pontificate about it knowing full well it'll never happen simply because they feel the need to defend themselves. Who could blame them?

[From LaineyGossip]

This should get very interesting. I'll be monitoring Ashton's Twitter all day to see what he's got to say for himself, and I'm breathlessly awaiting Star's online release of their story. Will Demi back him up? I think she will - I'm not sure if Demi would be able to admit that her marriage is anything less than amazing, just as she is unable to admit that she's mostly plastic at this point. We'll see.

UPDATE: Here’s Star’s story:

star

First Star exposed Ashton Kutcher’s public make-out session with a young blonde. Now we can reveal that his indiscretions didn’t end there!

In the Sept. 27 issue of Star — on sale today — a 21-year-old woman exclusively details her hot night with the married actor, who celebrates his fifth anniversary with Demi Moore later this month.

The brunette Demi look-alike — who you’ll see only in Star — says that she met Ashton in July while bowling at Lucky Strike Lanes in Hollywood. Although the That ’70s Show star was there with Demi, his stepdaughter Rumer Willis and some other friends, it didn’t stop him from swooping in and striking up a conversation with the young woman, who was sitting at a cocktail table.

Although the woman admits she knew Ashton was there with Demi, that didn’t stop her from slipping him her number on a cocktail napkin when he was getting ready to go. But little did she know that just days later she’d be having sex with Ashton on a sofa in the house he shares with Demi and her daughters!

"I felt totally comfortable in his arms," she tells Star. "It was tender and nice — not some random sex act."

Pick up our new issue today for the complete story, including the identity of the woman, all the details about the affair and her interaction with Demi.

I thought it said “hot mess night”. Would have been apt.

Life & Style: Kim Kardashian buys three home pregnancy tests

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 06:10 AM PDT

Life & Style Magazine's cover this week is all about how Kim Kardashian is maybe/probably pregnant. An "eyewitness" saw Kim buy "three Clearblue tests" - because it's so important we get product placement in our story, right? Kim was in London during this alleged purchase, so that kind of defeats the theory I had about this - which was that Kim was buying pregnancy tests for Khloe, because Khloe is probably knocked up. But Kim went to London by herself - or, without her sisters. So who was there to hold her hand when she took the tests? Eh. Anyway, the rest of the story is about how Kim thought she'd be pregnant by her current age, and how loose-fitting tops = pregnant.

Could Kim Kardashian be expecting her first child? Life & Style can exclusively reveal that the reality star was spotted buying home pregnancy tests with her mother, Kris Jenner, at Boots pharmacy around 3 p.m. on Sept. 12 in London.

"She picked up three Clearblue tests," eyewitness and fan Caroline Bell tells Life & Style exclusively. "I did a double-take, as I couldn't believe it was her." A Boots shop assistant confirms to Life & Style that Kim stopped in the store on Sept. 12.

Whether a plus or minus sign popped up on her pregnancy test remains to be known but all signs certainly point to a positive reading. Throughout NYC Fashion Week and at the Sept. 13 launch party of season 5 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians in London, the noticeably curvier Kardashian stuck to water. Plus, while she recently tweeted about starting the Sunfare meal plan, eyewitnesses tells Life & Style Kim indulged in carb-heavy scones at the Ritz and pasta at Locanda Locatelli on Sept. 12 in London.

"Kim has swapped her trademark skintight dresses for a lot of loose fitting tops and even ponchos," an insider tells Life & Style. "It's been a sudden transition from one to the other."

"I always had a vision that I would be married with at least one kid by 30," Kim, who celebrates her milestone birthday on Oct. 21, recently told Life & Style. "Family is the most important thing in life."

"I never thought I would have a baby without being married — but you never know."

For more on Kim's pregnancy shocker, pick up this week's issue of Life & Style, on newsstands now.

If Kim is pregnant, I guess it would be by that bodyguard she hooked up with? Or maybe Cristiano Ronaldo? Miles Austin? I think those are the only three guys she's been "attached to" in the past two months or so. OH WAIT - what about Justin Bieber?!? OH NO. He's not ready to be a father! And can you even imagine?! The Biebettes would commit mass suicide. Baby daddy drama! Honestly, though, I doubt she's pregnant. Yes, she would do anything for attention, but if Kim didn't pull a "surprise" pregnancy on Reggie Bush, she's not going to do when she doesn't have a boyfriend.
