Hot Guy Friday: Try dipping them in butter

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 09:02 AM PDT

Next week I'll get back to putting more current hotties as our headlining Hot Guy, but since you bitches have been begging for Steve McQueen, here you go. Personally, I find McQueen to be hot in a very butch, tough-guy kind of way, but I've never been the biggest fan of his films. He's like Marilyn Monroe, I guess. More pop icon than iconic actor - but that's just my opinion. I will give him credit for being an extremely physical actor, and you can tell that he always was a man comfortable in his own skin - which is one the sexiest qualities a dude can have. Also: I will As I was looking through some of McQueen's vintage photos, I found a couple where he had darker hair and some scruffy beard, and I swear, he looked like Hugh Laurie. So now I kind of like him more!

Check out his tan lines in this one… good Lord.

Now, I know a lot of you are going to fight me on this one, but I'm doing Brad Pitt right after McQueen, for good reason. In my opinion, Brad is McQueen's heir. I'm not saying Brad is as cool or as iconic as McQueen. I'm only saying that while Brad may resemble a young Robert Redford (on a good day - for Brad), Brad is really the best stylish, motorcycle-driving cool cat heir to the McQueen throne.

John Lennon: Forever Hottie. Hot because he was brilliant. Hot because he was a feminist. Hot because he was an unapologetic idealist. Hot because of that voice. Hot because he actually was so, so cute.

You have to love Simon Baker. I've only watched a few episodes of The Mentalist, but I've been a fan of Baker's since his tiny role as the gay hustler in L.A. Confidential (go back and watch that - he is lovely). I love his crinkly eyes. So dreamy.

I was all prepared to hate on all of you bitches who were like "Mads Mikkelsen is the sex, and you're a loser, and your mother too." (FYI: That's not the best way to get your man on HGF.) Anyway, I was prepared make fun of Mads. And then I looked up some photos of him from actual photo shoots and… okay. I see it. He's sexy/creepy. He looks like a biter. He also looks like a stabber, so ladies, let's keep it in check, shall we? But we can enjoy his pretty pictures.

I know Cole Hauser because he was in Good Will Hunting. Some people have tried to front like he’s the next big thing, but he isn’t. Too bad, because he is rather hot. *fans self*

Rupert Friend is still dating Keira Knightley, I believe. And some may say he’s the budget version of Orly Bloom. You know who says that? Orly-loonies. Because Rupert is turning out some solid performances, while Orly… well, I won’t rub it in. Personally, he’s not my taste, even though pasty, skinny Brits are usually my bread and butter.

Christoph Waltz seems like a very, very sweet man in real life. Too bad he brought one of the meanest, most well-drawn villains to life in Inglourious Basterds. When I look at photos of him, he reminds me of the friend of a relative who awkwardly asks you out and then you get him home and he’s surprisingly good in bed. Am I alone, ladies?

I choose not to remember that Rick Yune took part in those stupid racing movies. I choose to remember only his truly awesome performance in Snow Falling on Cedars. Why didn’t that film do better? Because it’s really, really good. I even love Ethan Hawke in that movie. Oh, and he was a pretty good bad guy in that Bond movie too.

Ioan Gruffudd is probably best known as “The Dude who was not Clive Owen in King Arthur”. No, he was also “The Dude who had to act against the brilliant Jessica Alba in The Fantastic Four.” Poor bastard. But he is cute!

I’ve always found Tim Roth to be a sexy bastard. He just seems like… he doesn’t even give a crap. He’s cocky and interesting and he’s kind of badass. Love that he’s legit now on network television!

And I’m going to end it with Gerard Butler. Because I feel like I’ve been cheating on him with my lover David Gandy. Do you still love me, Gerard? I know he does. We were meant for each other. Me and Gerry and his moobs dipped in butter. Sigh…

Star: Alex Skarsgard realizes that Kate Bosworth was just using him for fame

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 07:51 AM PDT

The rumors about a split between Alexander Skarsgard and Kate Bosworth grow stronger by the day. Initially, reports out of Sweden seemed to indicate that Kate had done the dumping, and that it was because she felt that Alex wasn't a good enough boyfriend because he wouldn't marry her or something. Then, Us Weekly reported that Kate and Alex were still together, but that she was cheating on him. And now Star is saying that the whole thing is finally over, and that Alex is totally bitter about it. Apparently, Alex now thinks Kate is just a dumb, cheating famewhore and he never wants to speak to her again. Oh, Alex. I love you!

So much for parting as pals. Alexander Skarsgard - who was so crazy for girlfriend Kate Bosworth that he took her home to meet his family in Sweden - isn't holding back his hard feelings in the wake of their fresh split.

After admitting to a friend that they called it quits because Kate wanted to see other people, he added bitterly: "I don't care what she does these days."

He isn't taking her calls and says that he regrets ever dating her. Recent reports that she made out with a high school sweetheart while visiting family in Massachusetts surely only added insult to injury, though Kate has denied the story.

Skarsgard also griped that he believes Kate was using him to attract media attention to boost her ailing career. Ouch!

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

I cosign this portrait of Kate - this is how I've always seen her. Need I remind you of these photos of Kate and Alex just weeks into their relationship? Yes, she's a famewhore, and she was just dating you for attention. Now you can move on, Alex, without bitterness, to someone more worthy. Someone who will be with you for your body.

LeAnn Rimes whines, threatens after Wendy Williams calls her “sloppy”

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 07:12 AM PDT

wenn2987360

America's Delusional Sweetheart is back! Yesterday, Wendy Williams took LeAnn Rimes to task for her (Wendy's words) "sloppy" affair with Eddie Cibrian. Wendy was referring not only to LeAnn's recent "ME ME ME, It's all about ME!" interview in Shape, and also on the heels of LeAnn's delusional tweet-fest regarding the emergency room incident - in which she did not alert Brandi Glanville that one of the Brandi's children was in the ER, yet LeAnn alerted her Twitter followers. Anyway, LeAnn then responded to Wendy on Twitter, although I've given up trying to find the exact tweet. Usually I can glance through LeAnn's Twitter feed and find the delusional gem I'm looking for quickly, but I swear to God, she has more than 100 tweets in the last 24 hours. LeAnn cannot scratch her ass without tweeting about it. So here's the story from Us Weekly:

LeAnn Rimes is firing back at Wendy Williams after the daytime talk show host called her affair with Eddie Cibrian “sloppy.”

On her syndicated talk show Thursday, Williams, 46, discussed Rimes’ recent Shape interview in which she justified why she cheated on husband Dean Sheremet. “It’s all very sloppy,” Williams said, adding that Rimes also shouldn’t have referred to Cibrian’s sons as her “boys.” Said Williams: “The boys have a mother, and her name is Brandi [Glanville].”

Rimes, 28, quickly shot back (via Twitter): “All I know is Wendy Williams done pissed my mamma off! I don’t wanna be in her path. To say, ‘I’ve reserved myself a place in hell?!’ I’m incredibly disappointed to see someone with that kind of platform use it for such negativity and could be so mean and judgmental about a situation they know nothing about…I don’t like how it happened either, said it a million times, but this is out of control."

[From Us Weekly]

LeAnn: "…about a situation they know nothing about…" Us: We know what happened because you keep talking about your f-cking struggles and how much you have to learn as a goddamn homewrecker, bitch. Also: I get the feeling that if we really found out what happened with LeAnn stalking Eddie for months before his marriage ended, it would be A LOT worse for LeAnn, so she should just shut her mouth about “You don’t know what really happened!” And this is "out of control" because YOU are out of control, you delusional cow.

Here are some gems from LeAnn's Twitter:

On Brandi knowing her son was in the ER: "She knew EVERYTHING! We have never kept her out of knowing anything about her boys. She won’t let you believe that though. Please stop believing the lies you read. She knew… She WAS told. Drama is unavoidable."

On the kids, but it's still about LEANN: "on our end, the kids never ever hear negativity about anyone and never see or read anything that’s said in the press in our home… When it prompts people to question @eddiecibrian and my ability to take care of his children I’m not rehashing anything. It’s a huge part of my life, my story and my healing process. I'm very sad that once again someone talks out of turn about something they are basing off of lies."

Inspirational quote from Zac Efron: “I don’t understand how some people would want fame so bad that they’d go out and get negative attention to earn it.”- Zac Efron

More LeAnn whining: "I don’t like how it happened either, said it a million times, but this is out of control."

LeAnn, for the love of God, shut up.

Enquirer: Jennifer Aniston is jealous of Sandra Bullock’s career

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 06:50 AM PDT

switch la prem 2 160810
Let me preface this story by pointing you to this other article in which In Touch claimed that Julia Roberts was totally jealous of Sandra Bullock’s career and the fact that she’s still in high demand at 46 while Julia is fighting for recognition at 42. Now the National Enquirer has an article claiming that Jennifer Aniston, 41, is jealous of Sandy’s success and wants to follow the career example she’s set. She could start by trying to keep her private life under wraps instead of having her people issue statements about every date she goes on. It also wouldn’t hurt if she would try to play more than one character that she’s long since grown out of. Here’s part of the Enquirer’s story:

Jennifer Aniston wants a new career - the one that belongs to Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock!

The former “Friends” star, whose past four movies have bombed at the box office, is locked in a one-sided competition with Hollywood hit queen Sandra.

“Jen is incredibly envious of Sandra’s life and career,” an insider told The Enquirer.

“She’s using Sandra as a template for her.”

Jennifer, 41, met with her agent and a team of handlers recently for crisis talks to discuss how to rebuild her career, says the insider.

“Jen hates that her personal life, especially her divorce from Brad Pitt, overshadows her film and TV work.

“Jen is frustrated that Sandra emerged stronger and more popular than ever after her marriage imploded while, five years after her big split, Jen is still struggling.

“She looks at Sandra’s resurgence and thinks, ‘That should be me!’

“Jen’s envy is out of control. She told a pal, ‘Sandra makes me sick. She has a great film career, a beautiful baby - everything I want! I hate her.’”…

“Now, Jen is demanding that she’s shown every script that Sandra is offered,” added the insider. “She is determined to emulate Sandra’s career and to follow her lead in rebuilding her personal life.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, September 27, 2010]

This could be creative fiction from The Enquirer like the In Touch story from a few weeks ago. Maybe it’s true though and Aniston is jealous of Bullock. Which actress wouldn’t be? I’m not buying the Enquirer’s claim that “Jen hates that her personal life, especially her divorce from Brad Pitt, overshadows her film and TV career.” She capitalizes on it every chance she gets so she can’t have it both ways.

You know why Sandra “emerged stronger and more popular than ever after her marriage imploded“? She didn’t talk about the infidelity or her ex other than in general positive terms and she specifically said she didn’t want people to feel sorry for her. Do I need to point out all the times that Aniston went about it the completely wrong way? Plus Sandra is just a more sophisticated person than Jen is. She has varied interests, she’s capable of speaking at length about them, and she’s a fine actress. I didn’t see much from Jen this past promotional tour other than what we’ve seen from her for the past ten years. Sandra is witty, warm and involved in charity. She’ll get more films because we like her and we’ll fill the seats to see her. It’s simple.

Oh - and as I was looking for photos I found these new pictures of Sandra outside a gay bar in LA last night! She looks tipsy and I love it.

Julia Roberts dumps the muumuu & goes for a fabulous black gown

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 06:28 AM PDT

wenn3006317

Fortunately, on yesterday's WTF-is-Julia-Roberts-wearing post, very few of you yelled at me. Thank you. It was a terrible outfit, and Julia should have rethought the whole thing. But now that I'm taking that outfit with the whole scope of her promotional duties in Rome, I'm thinking that Julia wanted the one-two punch of wearing something so hideous that when she wore this fabulous dress, we would all be paying attention. Because I kind of love this black gown that Julia wore to the Eat, Pray, Love Rome premiere last night. Is it matronly? Sure, a little bit. But it makes her look like a movie star, and it compliments her tall figure so well. Also: she doesn't look pregnant anymore. I told you, she's not pregnant, she just has horrible style and an unwillingness to dress for her body type - most of the time.

Of course, she is kind of hiding her belly in most of these shots. Do I have to rethink my "that's not a baby bump, y'all" stance? I tried to throw in some shots where she's kind of in profile to see if she has a bump… it could be. Or it could be a pasta belly. Or it could be a "I've had three kids and I hate Spanx, bitches" belly. It could also just be the way she carries herself - like a truck driver. Shoulders back, people. Also note this - no major media outlet is doing any kind of Bump Watch with Julia - I really don't think she's knocked up. I think it's pasta and the truck driver stance. Also: her hair still sucks.

Are Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green already in marriage counseling?

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 06:02 AM PDT

This report is likely totally bullsh-t, but I find it interesting. According to In Touch Weekly, Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green are already in marriage counseling. While you could say, "Damn, that was fast, they're still newlyweds" the truth is that Megan and BAG have been together for something like seven years, and both of them are pretty honest that their relationship takes work - BAG even talked about their relationship struggles in his recent Details profile (in which I kind of fell for him, much to my dismay).

They've only been married for a couple of months, but Megan Fox, 24, and Brian Austin Green, 37, are already in marriage counseling.

According to a friend, they are having some trouble adjusting to life as husband and wife, so they deiced to be proactive about their problems and consult a therapist.

"It is the usual stuff about money, having kids and making each other the priority," the friend explained. "They're really pretty happy though and are in therapy to stay that way."

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

So… it wouldn't really shock me to learn they get outside help. What would shock me, however, is the idea that Megan is anywhere close to "getting" anything the shrink says. Can you imagine? Megan casually talking about how she's "schizophrenic" as she does her porn star kissy-face and squeezes her boobs? That shrink is going to be like, "I think we need one-on-one sessions, four times a week."

Antoine Dodson, the “Bed Intruder” guy, buys his family a house

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 05:49 AM PDT

Antoine Dodson of Huntsville, AL became an overnight sensation after he creatively ranted against his sister’s attacker on the local news this July. Antoine’s footage was made into a song by the Gregory brothers which is still on the iTunes music charts at #54 and has been viewed on YouTube over 22 million times. Antoine gets half the profits from the song and has also benefited from donations pouring in from people trying to help his family escape from the projects. It’s been successful, and Antoine has purchased his family a home:

Antoine Dodson — the 24-year-old Alabama native who became a YouTube sensation after he chased a would-be rapist from his sister’s bedroom — tells UsMagazine.com he is moving his family into a safer home.

“We found a house!” he tells Us, adding that he is so “excited … It’s for my whole family. And these are new houses that have just been built.”

Dodson is paying for the new pad thanks to money he earned after musicians the Gregory Brothers turned his tirade into an Auto-Tuned song that hit the top 50 iTunes list (Dodson got half the proceeds).

“I still can’t believe this,” he tells Us of his sudden fame. “Even though my life is moving forward, it’s at a standstill in my mind. I’m like, ‘Wow! All of this is happening just off a news interview!’”

Dodson says he doesn’t regret going off in the now infamous news segment.

“I was angry!” he tells Us. “I was like, ‘I can’t believe this!’ I was really mad and everybody took the video and put it all out there. Now I’m glad that the world knows what’s going on so they won’t sweep this under the rug. This will bring pressure on the police department and investigators investigating the case.”

Incidentally, he tells Us police still have no leads.

Luckily, he tells Us, “We made enough to move and get a house.”

Dodson says he also plans to return to school. “I signed up to finish my Associate’s Degree in business,” he says. “That way I can take everything to the next level and be on a more professional level.”

His ultimate goal? To “open a salon,” he tells Us. “Or a hotel.”

In an interview with NPR Antoine called his success “amazing” and said that he gets emotional when he thinks about what a whirlwind it’s been. “Everytime I get a chance with my sister we cry about it… two and a half weeks ago nobody cared. Now in the present day the whole world cares… it’s beautiful.”

Antoine was recently in NY, he recorded a video leaving from his house in Alabama and then headed to fashion week where he met celebrities and did appearances.

Luv ya Max Tucci Omarion Katie Couric Mary J Knicks team and evryone I have met and show’d me love.

Katie Holmes’ look: tweaked, drugged or channeling Jackie Kennedy?

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 05:45 AM PDT

Or weight loss? Or Xenu? Or her spirit is broken? All of the above? Could be. But she does look different, doesn't she? I could swear her face is different, and it's not just a weight loss thing. I can't put my finger on it. Anyway, this is Katie Holmes in NYC yesterday, on her way to the Calvin Klein show, where she will no doubt pick up the entire collection, then tweak it slightly with some budget lace and bad stitching and use it for her own collection, Holmes and Yang. It's called "The Victoria Beckham Method". And it seems like the House of Calvin Klein is fine with that.

Katie Holmes has been described as the ”perfect” Calvin Klein girl by the legendary fashion house. Katie Holmes is the “perfect” Calvin Klein girl.

The fashion house’s Women’s Creative Director Francisco Costa is a huge fan of the stunning actress and was thrilled when she was in the front row at the Calvin Klein Collection show yesterday (16.09.10) at New York Fashion Week.

He said: “We met her before she was married. She’s the perfect Calvin girl.”

Speaking about the show, Katie - who is married to Tom Cruise - told People magazine: “I just loved it. There were so many pieces I would love to have. He did an amazing job. I loved the simplicity. I loved the colours he’s chosen, the fabrics and his simple elegance.”
As well as Katie being impressed with the show, Francisco was pleased with the final result.

He said: “It was more about the body, the fabric, and obviously interesting cuts. The new field for me is softness, and making that very sharp and crisp, which is much more difficult. It was challenging, fun, much more fluid, elongated. We started in resort with that mid-calf length.so it was a step forward.”

Katie - who was dressed in a cream-coloured Calvin Klein dress - admits she may use the show as inspiration for her own clothing range. She said: “I was very inspired.”

Why are all of these fashion professionals always going on and on about Katie's style? She generally looks like ten kinds of hell, although I will give her credit for starting a few trends, mostly involving pants (whatever). Also, Fame Pictures calls her a "fashion icon." I would bash them for that, but they are not the first to refer to Katie as some kind of style icon. I think those people are smoking crack.

Sextuplet parent reality stars claim they weren’t trying to get pregnant, ‘God sent them’

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 05:32 AM PDT

The new TLC reality show, Sextuplets Take New York, premiered on Tuesday. It features the Carpio family of Queens, NY, who are naturalized US citizens originally from Ecuador raising six 22 month-olds along with a ten year old son. I’ve seen clips from the show (one is below and there are more on TLC’s website.) and it looks like the Carpios are genuine hardworking people who are doing their best to raise so many kids. Their house is chaotic and it’s clear that they’re struggling daily to cope with so many children. Some reviews of the first episode have criticized the show’s approach as trying to minimize how obviously difficult and stressful their lives are.

In our first story on the Carpios, we mentioned that the father, who works in maintenance for the city Parks Department, makes just $1800 a month. They can barely make ends meet yet somehow they presumably found the money to afford fertility treatments resulting in six babies. Only the Carpios sort-of deny seeking fertility treatments and simply say they weren’t trying to get pregnant and were surprised when it happened. How did they end up with six babies at once then? Aren’t the odds of that happening without medical intervention or fertility drugs almost nil? Here’s their story, as told to In Touch, and the details sound very sketchy to me:

While the Ecuadorian natives have adjusted to their suddenly expanded family, the news first came as a shock to the couple, who weren’t even trying to get pregnant. “I went to the gym and I got dizzy, so I decided to go to the doctor,” recalls Digna, 33. “I told him something was wrong with me. I felt very tired, and my belly was swelling. I told him maybe it was too much exercise.

However, tests revealed that Digna was in the early stages of pregnancy. “He said, ‘We found five heartbeats.’ I cried, I screamed, I wanted to run away!” says Digna, who broke the news to her husband, a maintenance worker, that evening. “She started crying and said, ‘Victor, if something happens to me, do you promise to take care of John Carlos?” recalls Victor, 37. When Digna told her husband she was pregnant, “I was very happy,” he says. However, he wasn’t prepared for what came next: “She said ‘What if it’s more than one baby?’ I was in shock.

The couple, who used to watch John & Kate Plus 8 “never thought we’d be in the same situation,” says Victor.

“I was very, very worried about how I was going to handle it,” says the city worker, who had nearly lost his job due to downsizing. “Not only do you have to take care of the babies, you have to buy the diapers and food.” But he thought, “If God sent this for us, I know he is going to help us. So I told my wife, ‘Don’t worry about it, I’m going to give you my full support.’ And then we started from there.

Against their doctors’ advice, the couple decided to keep all the babies… “From that moment, everything changed,” says Victor. “I had a lot of faith that every one would survive. Every day was one more day; every week was one more week. From that moment, we were happy.”

Nowaways, the family buys everything in bulk. “We spend like $3,000 a month,” says Digna, who adds that she wouldn’t change a thing. “God sent me these angels, and I just want to be the best mother to them.”

[From In Touch, print edition, September 27, 2010]

Doesn’t it seem suspicious to you that they used to watch John & Kate and now they have sextuplets but claim to not have even been trying to get pregnant? It’s a ridiculous story, that she felt sick at the gym and just happened to be pregnant with sextuplets. At the very least she was taking Clomid or getting fertility injections. This couple seems very nice, and from what I’ve seen of their show they truly love their children and are working so hard to be there for them. They could at least be honest about how they had sextuplets now that they’re in the public eye. Maybe they’re worried that people will criticize them for using fertility treatments that they couldn’t afford to have more children that they couldn’t afford. They can afford them now that they’re appearing on TLC along with the show they coincidentally used to watch before magically getting pregnant with six babies at once.

‘Bridalplasty’ reality show combines plastic surgery with dream wedding competition

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 05:26 AM PDT

Do you remember that Fox show The Swan which aired in 2004 and was like Extreme Makeover: pageant edition? They would take a bunch of supposedly unattractive women and give them multiple plastic surgery procedures and makeovers and then have them compete in a beauty contest at the end of the season. Most of those women weren’t bad looking and would have looked much better with just simple hair, makeup and wardrobe changes, but at the end of each episode they looked like freaky plastic clones. The show was widely criticized for being exploitive and promoting plastic surgery.

Now comes news of a show that takes the best in dream wedding competitions and combines it with plastic surgery. E! is developing a show called Bridalplasty in which brides-to-be compete to earn a plastic surgery procedure each week and ultimately a dream wedding. At least they don’t give competitors total body surgery all at once, but it still sounds terrible. Shanna Moakler, who claimed in her resignation statement from the Miss California pageant that she wanted “to be a role model for young women with high hopes of pageantry” will host the show. The big climax will focus on the groom’s shocked reaction as he sees his would-be bride with chipmunk cheeks and fish lips right before he pledges to spend the rest of his life with her.

In one of the most shocking reality TV ideas yet, E! has ordered a new series that crosses a wedding competition with extreme plastic surgery.

The network is set to announce “Bridalplasty,” where brides-to-be compete in wedding-themed challenges to win extensive surgical procedures.

Each week, a group of women competes head-to-head in such challenges as writing wedding vows and planning honeymoons. The winner receives the chance to choose a plastic surgery procedure from her “wish list.” She’s given the procedure immediately, and results are shown at the start of the following week’s episode.

One by one, the women are voted out by their competitors and, according to the show’s description, “possibly walking away with nothing and losing [their] chance to be the perfect bride.”

The last bride standing will receive a “dream wedding,” where she will reveal her new appearance to friends, family and the groom. “Viewers will witness his emotional and possibly shocked reaction as they stand at the altar and he lifts her veil to see her for the first time following her extreme plastic surgery,” E! said.

Celebrity surgeon Terry Dubrow (Fox’s infamous “The Swan”) will lend his expertise to the procedures, and celebrity bride Shanna Moakler (ex-wife of Blink-182’s Travis Barker) will host.

Giuliana Rancic executive produces the show, as do Mark Cronin and Cris Abrego of 51 Minds, the company behind VH1’s “The Surreal Life” and “Rock of Love” franchises.

Extreme Makeover wasn’t a competition like The Swan was, and that’s probably why is lasted for five years instead of just one. It was still unsettling to see all these superficial changes made to one person who usually had much deeper problems that were barely even mentioned. Now we’ll see Bridezillas fighting for plastic surgery and a dream wedding on E!, the channel that cursed us with the Kardashians. I hope that people are over these type of shows. You can’t combine that many lowbrow reality show concepts in one and expect it to fly. This is like the television equivalent of chicken fried bacon.
