Jon Voight defends Shiloh’s Montenegro style: “She’s incredible”

Y'all can just pack it up, because Passive-Aggressive Crazy has chimed in. Jon Voight gave an "exclusive" interview to Us Weekly about the tabloid topic of the year, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt dressing like a boy. Now, since Angelina publicly allowed her father back into her life and the lives of the kids, Jon hasn't been able to shut up. He's been giving "exclusive" interviews all over the place, so the only thing surprising about this is that Us Weekly seems to be the first to ask Jon about Shiloh's Montenegro Style. To his credit, Jon doesn't throw Angelina under the bus, and he basically reiterates what Angelina has said - that Shiloh is her own person, making her own style choices, and she chooses to dress like a Euro hipster.

Seems everyone has something to say about 4-year-old Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s style. What does grandpa Jon Voight think?

“Shiloh’s an amazing person,” he told UsMagazine.com Sunday at a gala honoring film producer Avi Arad in Los Angeles. “I look at the way she dresses and she has a style! And she’s only 4-years old! I’m going, ‘What!?’”

Echoing previous remarks made by Angelina Jolie, Voight, 71, told Us, “Shiloh chooses everything she wears, so she’s an amazing person. The press, they’re going to make a lot of stuff about it, but she’s incredible.”

Jolie recently described Shiloh as having “Montenegro style” — a phrase that baffled many fashion experts — because she prefers to wear “tracksuits.” “Shiloh's hysterically funny, one of the goofiest, most playful people you'll ever meet,” she said. “….Goofy and verbal, the early signs of a performer.”

Jolie, 35, recently scoffed at reports that she chooses Shiloh’s clothes for her.

“I think she is fascinating,” she told Reuters, “the choices she is making.”

[From Us Weekly]

Good for him. I guess Jon really could have made it worse, but he defended his granddaughter from the plague of douchey tabloid stories. Once again, I'm not sure why it matters how a four-year-old dresses, but people are still up in arms about it, and apparently, the whole situation is completely Angelina's fault. Whatever.

Vintage Scandal Monday: Humphrey Bogart boned more than 1,000 women

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 08:25 AM PDT

Honestly, I don't know much about Humphrey Bogart's life. I know he was middle-aged when he met the teenaged Lauren Bacall, and that something sparked between them and they fell in love and lived happily ever after until his death. And that's kind of a myth, the myth of Bogie and Bacall. God knows if it was really like that. Probably not, if this new book has any truth to it. The Daily Mail excerpted a new biography on Bogie called Making of a Legend, and apparently he was a compulsive womanizer - to the point where he f-cked a reported 1000 ladies. And the reason for such virility? Bogie allegedly feared that he was gay. Um…

On the silver screen he was tough, cool and sophisticated; in real-life, one of Hollywood’s legendary lovers. Sexually voracious and habitually unfaithful, Humphrey Bogart had three unhappy marriages before he met the love of his life, Lauren Bacall.

Now it has emerged that before marrying her in 1945, Bogie had bedded an estimated 1,000 women including Bette Davis, Jean Harlow, Marlene Dietrich and Ingrid Bergman - but still feared he might be gay.

The extraordinary claim is made in a new biography of the actor, best known for the movie Casablanca. It suggests that during his second marriage to American stage and film actress Mary Philips, Bogart became riddled with uncertainty that made him impotent and question his sexuality - and even drove him to consider suicide.

The biography’s author Darwin Porter, a journalist who worked in Hollywood in the 1960s, says Philips insisted on openly maintaining her previous relationships, even spending the night before their marriage in 1928 with a friend of Bogart’s ‘as a farewell gift’.

According to the unflattering new book, Bogart told another friend: ‘If only Mary didn’t make it worse. When I can’t perform she mocks and ridicules me. I should never have married her.’

He is said to have confessed to another confidante to thoughts of killing himself. ‘But I never get beyond the thinking stage. I just can’t see myself taking a razor to my throat,’ he reportedly said.

The book, Humphrey Bogart, the Making of a Legend, due out next month, is based on unpublished memoirs and interviews with some of the actor’s contemporaries. It suggests his mental turmoil stemmed from his childhood. His father, who was a surgeon, beat him and split his lip, then stitched it up so badly that Bogart was left with a permanent lisp.

He ran away to Broadway, where during the 1920s he found fame and fortune - and began his incredible catalogue of sexual conquests.

‘When Broadway had around 120 theatres, there were four actresses for every available actor. No one has estimated this before, but it’s likely Bogart slept with 1000 women, mostly at this time,’ Porter said. Bogart married his first wife, actress Helen Menken, in 1926. Porter claims she had ‘a lot of lesbian affairs’ and he was ‘keeping score with her’ - and even that they were sometimes both chased by the same women.

Joan Blondell, an on-off girlfriend of Bogart’s, said: ‘The zipper was invented in 1926. Bogie demanded one be sewed into all of his pants - sex was a lot faster that way.’

Some of his seductions were brief affairs. At a party he was marched upstairs by Dietrich, it is claimed, and his first attempt to seduce a young Bette Davis was interrupted when her mother threw him out of their house, calling him ‘a slave to your genitalia’.

Bogart’s marriage to Menken lasted only a year. His second marriage ended in divorce in 1937. The next year he wed wife number three, Mayo Methot, who once stabbed him with a butcher’s knife. They were known as the ‘Battling Bogarts’ during their seven year marriage.

Bogart found what Hollywood magazines called ‘true love’ with Lauren Bacall on the set of To Have and Have Not in 1944, and made her his fourth and final wife. It was a happy relationship, although he conducted a long affair with his hairdresser, Verita Peterson. Bogart died of cancer aged 57 in 1957.

[From The Daily Mail]

He sounds like a tortured man. And I didn't know his third wife stabbed him! Ah, the Golden Age of Hollywood. When you could stab your husband and it would be covered up by the powers that be. And I'm disappointed in Ingrid Bergman, if she really did sleep with him. I always wished that Ingrid and Cary Grant had run off together - but Ingrid and Bogie? Eh. Of course, I'm not one of those people who think Casablanca is the cat's pajamas.

So… was Bogie gay? He probably didn't know if he was. But I think he probably wasn't - he was probably just bad in bed, you know? Just because a guy can't be bothered in bed doesn't mean he's gay. It just means he's a douche.

Megan Fox for Armani: ridiculously unsexy, or really cute?

I swear to God, I did not plan on spending most of my morning writing about the plague of waxy puffiness that has invaded every aspect of my life. First it was whatever happened to Christina Aguilera, and before that it was Jada Pinkett Smith's alien face. And now I'm looking at photos of Megan Fox, and I just can't with this bitch. I know some people think that Megan's face has "settled" since her most recent bout of plastic surgery, but I'm not seeing it. She looks like a plastic doll. Anyway, these are photos of Megan and her husband Brian Austin Green in Milan for the Armani show over the weekend. As you may remember, Megan is the official crotch of Armani. Here's her new Armani ad:

Isn't that incredibly trashy? It's worse because you know the Armani people and whoever shot seem to think that this is what we should aspire to - really, really thin with a completely jacked face. It's not sexy. And they really want it to be sexy. Sad.

Mariah Carey falls on stage like the perfect drama queen that she is

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 07:23 AM PDT

wenn2969611

Below is video of Mariah Carey performing in Singapore over the weekend. In the middle of the song, Mariah seems to get caught up in her heels and she dramatically falls over. Only not really - it's like Mariah knew that she was going to fall, so she did it in slow motion, gently rocking over onto her cushiony body. The best part of the video is her backup dancer/singer guy who pretty much sees the drama unfold before his eyes and immediately tries to lift up Mariah's now dead weight as she just gives in to gravity. The dude totally assumes the position to carry her off, which… I mean, Mariah must demand that all the time. So he was prepared.

Mariah Carey — who has yet to publicly confirm that she is pregnant — stumbled and fell in the middle of a performance this weekend in Singapore, but laughed it off. Carey, 40, was wearing her trademark high heels when she lost her footing while singing her 1992 hit Make It Happen on Saturday. Her dancers quickly helped her up, and she jokingly told the crowd, “I did that on purpose!”

A female assistant removed Carey’s shoes as she continued to sing; she finished the 90-minute performance barefoot. Carey was in Singapore, along with Missy Elliott and Adam Lambert, to perform a series of concerts this weekend at the Padang in celebration of the Singapore Grand Prix. And interestingly, during another concert on Sunday, Carey drank from a champagne glass while on stage, although there’s no way to know if the glass contained champagne or a non-alcoholic drink.

The Grammy award winning singer later took to Twitter to thank her fans.

“TY SO much to my fans in Singapore!!! Yeah, several hectic moments, (lol!)but I tried to swirl them into festive!.Love+ God Bless! Again Singapore, thanks so much for allowing me to just be who I am &just have fun+connect w/everyone there! Thanks 4 the LOVE!x0x,” she Tweeted.

RadarOnline.com exclusively reported on August 25 that Carey was four months pregnant at that time.

[From Radar]

Mariah has pretty much confirmed that she's pregnant, so I think this really could have been bad, you know? But instead the angels wept when Mariah lost her footing and everyone is okay. Note to Mariah: take off the heels and take a break! You've earned it, girl! No one is going to judge you for sitting at home and eating donuts while you're knocked up. Well… Gisele would judge you, but you can just sit on her until she passes out.

Brad Pitt & Zahara have a daddy-daughter outing at an American Girl store

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 06:48 AM PDT

fp_5784662_pitt_brad_riv_092510

On Saturday, Brad Pitt took his little Empress out for a birthday party. Reports suggest that it was Chris Cornell's daughter's birthday party, and that it was held at The American Girl store at The Grove. We don't have access to any of the photos of Empress Zahara, alas, but you can see one here. You can see that The Empress is not amused with all of these shenanigans. It will be much different when she assumes power. Anyway, Brad looks good, doesn't he? But he also looks different - CB thinks he had his eyes done or maybe got some fillers, but my suspicion is that Brad is just getting relatively jowly as he ages. Something is going on with his jaw and his jowls… and I think it's just some weight gain and age. Whatever… here's more on the party:

Brad Pitt escorted his adorable daughter Zahara to a birthday party in L.A. Saturday -Zahara was a guest at the 6th birthday party of her friend Toni Cornell, daughter of rocker Chris Cornell. It was held at every Hollywood girl’s favorite spot, the American Girl store at The Grove shopping center.

Brad Pitt took some time off shooting the baseball drama Moneyball to hang with 5-year-old daughter Zahara. Donning his usual newsboy cap, the actor, 46, was photographed holding the girl’s hand at a birthday party for rocker Chris Cornell’s daughter Toni at the American Girl store in Los Angeles.

A witness tells UsMagazine.com: “Several little girls were invited to the party and Zahara arrived with Brad around noon. Word quickly spread around that they were at the Grove and a big scene formed outside. Brad was very cordial to fans. As they left, he waved and gave a thumbs up to everyone. He held Zahara’s hand, and she looked very happy. She had a goodie bag from American Girl place that she opened as soon as she got in the car.”

Zahara - whom Pitt and longtime love Angelina Jolie adopted from Ethiopia in 2006 - has “got an extraordinary voice,” Jolie, 35, recently gushed to Vanity Fair. She added that their daughter also is “just so elegant and well spoken.”

[From Us Weekly & Radar]

Aw, some father-daughter bonding at the American Girl store. That's so cute. Question: the American Girl store has black dolls, right? Or do they only carry white dolls? Nevermind, I just looked it up. They do have dark-skinned dolls! Good for them.

Also - E! News put up this video of what went down when Brad and Zahara were trying to leave - the paparazzi frenzy is really crazy:

Christina Aguilera’s orange look: just horrible or just bad lighting?

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 06:21 AM PDT

fp_5785397_rij_lacma_gala_092510

The weirdest thing just happened. As I was looking at these new photos of Christina Aguilera looked ten different kinds of jacked, I also noticed photos of several other women at the same event (something for the LA County Museum of Art). Every single woman at the event looks completely waxy and frozen and puffy and sketchy. Maybe it was just extraordinarily bad lighting? Of course, the other women are Teri Hatcher and Rosanna Arquette and Kim Kardashian, who must have been thrilled to be the least cat-like of them all. Anyway, people are now talking about Christina's appearance because she looks like she's gained some weight. Um… who's looking at her body when her face looks like that?

Christina’s got curves. Clad in a form-fitting frock, the 29-year-old mother of one looked curvier than ever at a bash at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art over the weekend.

It was a startling contrast from the singer’s svelte figure a few months ago. A source tells Britain’s Daily Mail that “it’s bizarre Christina has put on so much weight as she’s been doing lots of dancing and high energy work for Burlesque [out in November]. The whole movie is choreography and she was very active so I’m surprised she’s piled on the pounds so quickly.”

In 2008, Aguilera — who just returned from Nicole Richie’s Mexican bachelorette bash — told Us Weekly she felt “a sense of accomplishment” after shedding 40 lbs. she gained during her pregnancy with son Max, now 2. At the time, her weight loss plan included cardio workouts, weight training, and stretching five times a week. She also followed a strict protein, veggie and whole grain diet.

In July, she said in the U.K. magazine Company that whatever size women are, “we shouldn’t be ashamed of ourselves or our bodies.”

[From Us Weekly]

Yeah, I have no problem with Christina being curvy or curvier than she used to be. She looks fine in that sense - even though I think that at this point, she should really just take out her implants because they look kind of gross. But other than that, her body looks good. It's the face that bothers me. And the skin.

Lindsay Lohan visits a homeless shelter, and not to score drugs

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 05:54 AM PDT

45459, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - Sunday September 26, 2010. Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan visits the Dream Center homeless shelter in Los Angeles with her mother Dina, sister Ali and business manager Lou Taylor.

These are new photos of Lindsay Lohan entering The Dream Center, a mission and outreach center for the homeless. She visited the place last night, and it was her first public outing since getting out of jail two nights beforehand. According to E! News' sources, Lindsay went to visit the homeless at the encouragement of her management. And of course, she invited along the paparazzi. As CB pointed out, this is the first charity work Lindsay has done since she "saved" all of those kids in India.

Two days after getting out of jail, Lindsay Lohan has emerged from hiding. Accompanied by two friends, sister Ali and mother Dina, the troubled starlet, who will be heading back to rehab possibly as soon as Monday, spent part of Sunday evening visiting the Dream Center, a mission and outreach center connected to the Angelus Temple in Los Angeles’ Echo Park neighborhood.

What brought her there?

According to a source, LiLo’s business manager Lou Taylor, who also was part of her group, is a supporter of the facility and encouraged her to visit.

While there, Lindsay met with children and families, signing autographs and handing out purses to some of the teen girls.

“What a great place The Dream Center is here in LA… had a nice time there today, it’s so important to give back. I feel blessed,” Lohan later tweeted.

The source said Lohan wanted to make a return visit to see some of the young women housed there, but one thing was clear: She would not be checking in there herself.
Lohan plans to check into rehab, but that it would not be at the Dream Center facility, said the source.

[From E! News]

I mean… yes, it was nice of Lindsay to visit the kids and give away gifts. But it's too little, too late to try to rehab her image. When you visit a homeless shelter as your first public outing since getting out of jail for the fourth time, you have bigger issues than public relations. Also, Lindsay is still playing her cracked out PR games. Try this, via her Twitter:

lohantweet

[From Lindsay's Twitter]

Oh, she made a Terminator joke, isn't that… cute? Ugh. Also - did she visit the shelter in the middle of the night? Shouldn't these poor people be getting some rest? Not everyone keeps crackhead hours.

Katy Perry mocks Sesame Street cancellation on Saturday Night Live

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 05:53 AM PDT

katyperry2

Katy Perry was on Saturday Night Live over the weekend to mock the fact that her cleavage-filled clip with Elmo was banned from Sesame Street. Katy, the musical guest for this week’s season premiere, appeared in a skit as a teen library aide who was unaware that her newly-formed rack was causing a distraction.

Katy wore a low-cut Elmo t-shirt and played a guest on a faux Brooklyn talk show hosted by Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph. She did a good job at spoofing herself as well as playing along. Rudolph and Poehler summed up the controversy over Katy’s bouncy Sesame Street video by talking about how nudity isn’t as stigmatized overseas and how breasts are natural.

Poehler: “In France, everybody walks around with no shirt on whatsoever. Boobies, as far as the eye can see… They know how to do things over there.”

Rudolph: “Who cares if kids are looking at boobs. Boobs feed babies, alright? I turned on CSI the other night and there’s a dead guy with a worm in his eye, but we can’t look at the tops of boobs? So dumb America.”

Poehler: “You do your thing at the library, the kids come for the boobs they stay for the books, everybody wins.”

In related news, Perry will guest star on The Simpsons this season. EW reports that she won’t be a cartoon, but will appear “as herself in a live-action segment that features Simpsons characters as puppets.” An executive producer for the Simpsons announced that they made the decision in light of the fact that Perry got turned down for Sesame Street. It looks like that little controversy has only benefited her career.

Kirstie Alley lost 50 pounds, regained high levels of smug

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 05:45 AM PDT

kirstiealleysmug
Kirstie Alley announced on Twitter that she’s lost 50 pounds since she premiered her questionable Scientology-based weight loss program and short-lived reality show, Kirstie Alley’s Big Life, this March. I was hoping that Kirstie’s show was canceled, but it turns out it was canceled after one season by its original network, A&E, but got picked up by Lifetime for a second season. So Kirstie isn’t going away anytime soon. Along with losing 50 pounds, Kirstie seems to have regained her smug sense of self confidence. While it’s clear that the photo she tweeted of herself surrounded by men (above) is heavily Photoshopped, there’s no faking that bitch face. Kirstie is getting her body back and she’s nastier than ever. It’s like the angle of her sneer increases as her weight decreases.

Kirstie Alley is back at a lower weight, thanks in part to her reality show ‘The Big Life.’

“I’ve lost over 50 lbs…and I’m having the time of my of my life…30 more to goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,” she tweeted on Wednesday.

Earlier this year, Kirstie admitted she recently tipped the scales at 230 pounds. She weighed just 143 when she appeared on Oprah in a bikini in 2006 and now she’s starting to look slim again.

“Me and my Italian men friends,” she tweeted with the photo [above]

[From Huffington Post]

How much do you want to bet that all of those dudes are Scientology goons? Kirstie claims to have done that photoshoot in Italy with Italian guys. There’s a Celebrity Scientology Center in Florence, so I would guess she wasn’t far from there.

I don’t know what to say about this woman except to hope that she goes far away. At least we didn’t have to put up with her on Dancing With the Stars this season. You know that a celebrity’s career is sh*t when Bristol Palin, The Situation and Audrina Patridge are more popular.

Thanks Janice for the tip!

Kirstie in March. I’d be interested in seeing paparazzi pics of her now.

Snooki was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning, producers covered it up

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 05:34 AM PDT

Okay, when I first read the headline at Radar, I thought Snooki was currently being hospitalized for alcohol poisoning, but it turns out that Radar's story is about an incident that happened weeks or even months ago. I guess it just happened chronologically on the Jersey Shore show, but I have no idea why we didn't hear about this incident before now. According to Radar, Snooki went on such an extreme binge that Jersey Shore producers actually stepped in and took her to have her stomach pumped, probably:

Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi was hospitalized after a booze fueled bender during taping for the second series of the hit MTV program, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. The scary near-death incident occurred during a wild night out at a South Beach, Miami, nightclub, in May.

One source, who was on-set at the time, admitted to RadarOnline.com, “She was so drunk that she had to be carried out of the nightclub ‘Dream’ by the show’s producers.”

Snooki was rushed to a local Miami hospital where she was treated for suspected alcohol poisoning. The incident had been kept a closely-guarded secret until it emerged that the show’s top brass decided to leave it out of last Thursday’s episode of the show.

During the version that aired, a visibly drunk Snooki was seen playing with co-star J-Woww and her boyfriend Tom Lippolis’ feet while they were attempting to ’smush’. While slurring her words, Snooki stumbled into Vinny’s bed and crashed on her feet.

The frightening hospital scare occurred the same night a 24-year-old Florida claimed she was attacked Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, leaving her with a bruise under her eye.
The show’s stars dubbed the eventful night out “Fight Night”, we’re told.

An MTV spokeswoman would not comment when contacted by RadarOnline.com, while Snooki’s rep did not return our request. It’s not known the exact treatment Snooki underwent as a result of her excessive booze intake, but alcohol poisoning is often treated with stomach pumping or gastric lavage, where the stomach is washed out using a saline solution.

According to our source, “Snooki was out of commission for about two days and was left in pain after undergoing the hospital treatment.”

Snooki’s wild partying ways have become a central focus of the popular series, which is watched by a whopping 5.5 million viewers each week.

Earlier this month, Snooki was fined $500 and ordered to perform community service as punishment for being drunk and disorderly on the beach. But the judge also admonished Snooki, labelling her “rude, profane, obnoxious and self-indulgent” and even calling her a “Lindsay Lohan wannabe.”

Snooki later blamed a Tequila binge for a foulmouthed outburst at the cops who arrested her.

“It was a good wakeup call for me,” Snoooki said at an MTV press event. “It definitely embarrassed my family and that’s just not good… My dad was very, very p**sed. He’s like, ‘I didn’t raise you like this.’ Now when I go out, I only have a couple drinks. I learned that I need to calm down with drinking. It’s just a drunken mistake. Obviously I like to party. I like to have a good time but maybe I’m overdoing it a little too much. So right now I’m just watching myself and I can have a good time not drinking.”

Since I don't watch, this really means nothing to me. But isn't this par for the course? I mean, aren't all of them always drunk and brawling? And doesn't Snooki especially have a problem with alcohol? Why do her friends continue to let her drink? Why do Jersey Shore producers continue to film and enable this behavior? Although, if this story is true, it sounds like they're trying to cover it up, probably because they now how bad it is - and how liable they are, legally and morally.
