Courteney Cox-Arquette & David Arquette Are Dunzo!

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 05:24 PM PDT

Right after I posted THIS item about David Arquette talking about the possible sub-title of Scream 4, news broke that he and wife Courteney Cox-Arquette have split up! To be honest, I head to read the headline twice because … OMG, how have these two split up? AND, as if news of the split weren’t shocking enough … the couple have apparently been on the outs for “several months” now! Dude … Courteney and David are dunzo!

Courteney Cox and David Arquette have separated after 11 years of marriage … and TMZ has learned they’ve been separated for several months. A source close to the couple tells us the two are “still friends” and they maintain a business relationship with each other. In fact, sources tell us … no lawyers are involved. The couple has one child together. David and Courteney met on the set of “Scream” sometime around 1995 … and were married in 1999. They are currently co-starring in the upcoming “Scream” movie due out next year. There was a hint of things to come back on September 25 when Arquette was spotted out, sans wedding ring.

AND … to add insult to injury, there is a reported connection to Lindsay Lohan in this sad split. Well, kinda. After the jump, find out what the connection is and read the official statement from Courteney and David about their dunzoness …

So, do you remember that chick who reportedly punched Lindsay Lohan at Voyeur nightclub on her birthday last July? Yeah, well that chick may be the reason why David Arquette split from wifey Courteney:

The reason word got out that Courteney Cox and David Arquette separated is because pictures have surfaced of David and a woman with whom he has been intimate … We’re told the woman in question is Jasmine Waltz (right) — if that name sounds familiar, that’s because she’s the girl who punched Lindsay Lohan on LiLo’s birthday a few months back. Our sources say David and Jasmine began seeing each other after David and Courteney had separated and agreed to see other people. That said … we’re told a divorce is by no means a done deal. We’ve learned the couple has been living apart for several months, but there is a “real possibility” they could get back together. As one source said, “It’s a work in progress.” As for why they separated, one source simply said, “Life.”

HMMM … well, at least it sounds like the couple are handling things like adults. Here is the official statement released by the couple about this split news:

“We have agreed to a trial separation that dates back for some time. The reason for this separation is to better understand ourselves and the qualities we need in a partner and for our marriage. We remain best friends and responsible parents to our daughter and we still love each other deeply.”

Wow. This is just … insane. It just goes to show, despite the fact that everybody knows about everybody’s business in this age of social networking …. some folks know how to keep a secret. Here’s hoping the couple works out their issues in the way that works best for them … whether they stay together or not. This is just … a bummer.

David Arquette Reveals That ‘Scream 4’ May Get A Sub-Title

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 02:22 PM PDT

In a recent interview with Scream veteran David Arquette, he suggested that the upcoming sequel film Scream 4 may get slapped with a sub-title … for the first time in the Scream franchise history. According to Arquette, the film may be titled Scream 4: Return to Woodsboro:


Considering that Scream 4 is the first film in a new trilogy of films for the franchise, I can appreciate that the powers that be may want to differentiate the new films from the older films … but I, personally, don’t like the idea of sub-titling the movies. Return to Woodsboro is just … bland. There is a simplistic beauty in merely titling the film Scream 4. In the end, it doesn’t really matter if the film gets sub-titled or not … but if the powers that be want to know what this fan thinks of the idea, I say NO SUB-TITLE REQUIRED.

Mischa Barton’s Sense Of Style Really Stinks

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 02:11 PM PDT

Sometimes actress Mischa Barton, that mischievous miscreant of heinous celebrity fashion, struck again this weekend at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic which was held here in Los Angeles, CA yesterday. Mischa showed up at the event with what looked like a dead skunk strapped to her head in an obvious attempt to make a fashion statement. Unfortch for Mischa, the statement she made looked like a real stinker:


As you may recall, Mischa made it very public that she has decided to quit drinking but her outfit choices seem to belie that fact. Still, I hope she continues to put her best fashion foot forward … because critiquing Mischa Barton‘s fashions is far more entertaining than her attempts at acting and modeling.

Sarah Jessica Parker & Matthew Broderick Take The Twins Out On The Town

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 01:57 PM PDT

Last week we got to see a few photos of mama Sarah Jessica Parker and her twin daughters Marion Loretta and Tabitha Hodge as they stepped out into the brisk Autumn afternoon in NYC. Today we get to see a new batch of even cuter photos of SJP and the girls out with hubby/daddy Matthew Broderick over the weekend:


The only thing missing from this perfect family portrait … is SJP and MB‘s eldest son James Wilkie. It’s possible that Jimmy was feelin’ a bit too old to go to the playground with his parents and baby sisters but it would’ve been nice to see the family all together … still, it looks like the fam had a great time :) Aren’t the little girls just so cute?

Gisele Bündchen Takes Benjamin Rein Skinny-Dipping In Miami

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 01:43 PM PDT

Last week we saw photos of supermodel mom Gisele Bündchen making her grad arrival in Miami, FL with her baby son Benjamin Rein strapped to her chest as she strutted her stuff thru the airport. Today we learn that Gisele and Ben have been in Miami all week and long just yesterday ventured out to the beach for a little sun and surf. Unfortch for little Benjamin, his mama didn’t think it was necessary for him to wear a bathing suit and, instead, let him frolic on the beach in his birthday suit:


Now, let’s not forget that Gisele is Brazilian and, well, we know that some Brazilians like to sunbathe and swim in the nude. But, as you can see, she also seems not to have any problem with letting folks snap photos that are bound to be very embarrassing for Benjamin once he grows up. It’s bad enough for us normal folk when our parents embarrass us with naked photos of us as babies … but can you imagine being the child of a famous celebrity and having nekkid pics of your hoo-ha splashed around the Interwebs? OY! At least little Ben is still far too young to know any better ;)

Mary J. Blige Does ‘Ebony’ Magazine

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 01:18 PM PDT

Mary J. Blige graces the cover of the 65th anniversary issue of Ebony magazine in a coverphoto that pays homage to a 1970 cover of Ebony that featured the iconic Diana Ross:


This is a hot cover, y’all. Mary J. looks fantastic in all her photos but this tribute to Diana Ross is just too amazing. I can’t think of a more fitting person to pay homage to Diana Ross than the Queen of Hip Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige. Congratulations goes out to Ebony magazine on their 65th anniversary … here’s to another 65 years and beyond!

Hallowe’enTime Is Here Again

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 01:03 PM PDT

Because David had to leave town at the last minute yesterday morning I had to take care of a bunch of errands all day long, running around all over town. I hate scrambling for Hallowe’en costumes at the last second so I wanted to make sure that I picked up costumes for David and me as soon as we decided on what to be:


We are teaming up with our friends Josh and Emma for this year’s Hallowe’en fun … and I’m so excited! I don’t want to spoil the secret just yet but I will tell you that we will be going old skool with our costumes this year. Do YOU know what you’re going to be for Hallowe’en this year?

Because of all the running around town (which included stuffing my face with take-out food), I ended up gettin’ kinda ill last night. I had a few entertainment options for last night but I ended up crashing out early here at home. I’m still not feeling too hot today so I think I’ll be staying in at least for another day. It’s Columbus Day here in the US and Thanksgiving in Canada … I hope all y’all are celebrating today. Happy Monday!

First Look: ‘Glee’ Does ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 11:48 AM PDT

Back in July we learned that Glee was planning to do a episode based on the cult classic film The Rocky Horror Picture Show … and today we get our first look at promo photos for the ep! Here are a couple of our fave Glee characters Finn (Cory Moneith) and Quinn (Diana Argon) in Rocky Horror drag as Brad and Magenta respectively:

Finn’s look started out “pretty bland, like the nerdy character Brad is,” says costume designer Lou Eyrich. But once Cory Monteith put on the black-rimmed glasses and got a side part in his hair, he transformed. “Cory’s just a big goofy nerd and so is Brad,” says Colfer. “He was perfect.”

“Here, Quinn [Dianna Agron] is one of the partygoers for our big ‘Time Warp’ dance scene,” says Eyrich. “When the hairstylists told us they wanted to give Dianna a pink wig, we gave her a pink top and glittery hat. To make it more youthful, we used a high-waisted pant from H&M and a gold cummerbund.” Quinn does double duty in the production, joining Santana (Naya Rivera) as dual versions of kinky-wigged domestic Magenta.

After the jump, check out 3 more promo photos and see what Rocky Horror characters Kurt (Chris Colfer), Sam (Chord Overstreet) and Dr. Carl (John Stamos) will portray on the ep …

“Riff Raff is the best character, and everyone was amazed at how incredible the makeup was,” says Colfer. “I was mistaken for a blonde woman a couple times. All I kept thinking was, ‘You did this to yourself, Chris.’”

“At first, Sam [Chord Overstreet] is wearing tiny little gold shorts, but then they decide that’s maybe not appropriate for a school play, so he ends up in these gold board shorts and tank top,” explains Eyrich. Overstreet was shocked when he saw what little he’d be wearing. “He was a really good sport but hit the gym extra hard,” adds Eyrich. But Colfer has no sympathy: “Ha! Take that, new guy!” Glee Rocky Horror Picture Show

When Puck drops out of the production, John Stamos’ Dr. Carl fills in — crashing his motorcycle through a stage wall. Since it’s difficult to imagine hunky John mimicking a role played in the film by Meat Loaf, Carl does “his own sexy version of Eddie to intimidate Will [Matthew Morrison],” says Eyrich. “It was actually John’s idea to do a take-off on Elvis’ leather-suit look from his 1968 TV special.”

As I’ve made clear before, I don’t really like The Rocky Horror Picture Show but I must admit, these promo pics give me hope that the ep will be fun despite the fact that I’m not a fan. I cannot wait to see which Rocky Horror characters the other Glee characters will portray. This looks fun. What do YOU think Rocky Horror fans? Are you impressed?

Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson Enjoy A Romantic Sushi Dinner Date

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 11:45 AM PDT

Last week we saw photos of Twilight co-stars and rumored lovebirds Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson together again here in SoCal ahead of production of the next Twilight film. Today we get to see photos of the happy couple enjoying a nice dinner date at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills, CA last night:


It would appear that K. Stew and R. Pattz are much more comfortable being seen together in public … as a couple. And, if you can believe it, the pair actually looked — GASP — happy as they made their way home … together … last night. Check out that fun photo, after the jump …


Actual smiles … from Kristen and Rob … can you believe? Oh yeah, they’re in lurve, y’all … that is love right there.

Lindsay Lohan Determines Her Father Is To Blame For Her Foibles

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 11:19 AM PDT

As we are all well aware, Lindsay Lohan has been rehabbing herself at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, CA while she awaits her next court appearance on October 22 to answer for her most recent probation violation due to 2 failed drug tests. TMZ is reporting that Lindsay has been making huge breakthroughs in her rehab therapy and has come to realize the source of her life’s woes … namely, her father Michael Lohan:

Lindsay Lohan is doing a lot of thinking at Betty Ford, and she’s already reached one big conclusion — she’s in the mess she’s in largely because of daddy Michael Lohan. Some of Lindsay’s friends and relatives tell us … LiLo is spending a lot of time talking to counselors about the path that led her to drug and alcohol addiction. And she’s convinced the nightmare of growing up in such a dysfunctional family has taken its toll. Lindsay repeatedly talks about allegations Dina made in her divorce papers … that Michael abused her. Lindsay says she witnessed it firsthand, and it’s still tough to deal with. In particular, Lindsay claims she had to step in and protect her mother from Michael. Michael has denied allegations of physical abuse. Our sources say Lindsay talks a lot about growing up with a dad who was periodically behind bars. Add to that — she moved out to L.A. at a very young age, with almost no parental supervision.

Not so fast, says estranged daddy Michael Lohan. According to him, he is not solely to blame for Lindsay‘s mess of a life … he believes that much of that blame belongs to mommy Dina Lohan as well:

Michael Lohan is lashing out at claims he’s the root of Lindsay Lohan’s problems — what with the violence, prison stints and general bad behavior. Michael tells TMZ … Dina was violent as Lindsay was growing up, and it left an impression. Michael claims when Lindsay was 4 years old, Dina was arguing with his mom and Dina allegedly smashed a phone across grandma’s face, requiring six stitches. And Michael says, on another occasion — when Lindsay was a teenager — Dina went nuts on Michael, flew over two beds to get to him and accidentally knocked herself out. Michael adds it was Dina’s idea to leave Lindsay in Hollywood at a very young age, even though LiLo had a stalker.

I personally believe that both Lindsay and Michael are right … BOTH of her parents are to blame for her woes. It’s only because Lindsay is close to her mother (who, I believe, enables her reckless behavior … which L. Lo mistakes for love and support) that she is not able to see that she has suffered due to the actions of both of her parents. I gotta say, tho, that the scales to tip toward Michael Lohan more considering he’s a former jailbird. As much as Lindsay is responsible for her own illegal actions (and should be punished for those actions), I do feel a twinge of sympathy at the notion of being raised by Dina and Michael Lohan. If she truly wants to clean up her life, she’s gonna have to do it without the influence of either toxic parent. Ugh.

First Look: Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino’s Debut Book

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 09:22 AM PDT

Back in August we got our first look at the DILLIGAF clothing line “designed” by Mike The Situation Sorrentino of MTV‘s Jersey Shore fame. Today, we get our first look at The Situation‘s first foray into the book publishing world. On November 2, The Situation will be releasing a book he “co-authored” with Chris Millis titled Here’s the Situation: A Guide to Creeping on Chicks, Avoiding Grenades, and Getting in Your GTL on the Jersey Shore … and here is what that book will look like:

Here’s how to get your situation up to the level of the Situation Listen, dawg. You’re probably hitting the gym, doing your tanning, and picking up fresh laundry every day. And maybe you’ve had some success beating up the beat and creeping on chicks in the club. But do you really think your situation is where it needs to be? Be honest with yourself, bro. This book here will take your game to a level thought unattainable, given your physical limitations (because we can’t all look like Rambo, pretty much, with our shirt off). We start with GTL-the bedrock of life itself. And then we hit the GTL Remix-the rules for getting your personal grooming did. From there it’s my guide to the Jersey Shore, battle plans for the club, a primer on grenades and wingmen, and tips for ridding yourself of all levels of clinger. Then I look at the big picture: how to cook the perfect lasagna, how to find a life partner, and how to deal with being one of the most famous people on the planet-which is guaranteed if you follow my advice. This is the bible for Situation Nation. Read it, live it, and crush it.

I can’t even … I mean … LOL! Judging by the book description alone, you can tell that this tome is basically a pile of turds. I don’t even want to know what kind of “bro” would actually purchase this book with any seriousness in the hopes of learning how to be like The Situation. My HOPE is that this book, priced at Amazon for about $10, is meant to be a gag gift … I mean, right? I must admit … I have never endorsed book burning before but … yeah, I might have to change my mind. What do you think? Is this a book that YOU might like to add to your library? If so, you can preorder your copy HERE.

Oprah Winfrey Visits The Jackson Family

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 08:57 AM PDT

Over the weekend Oprah Winfrey made her way to SoCal to pay an in-house visit with the Jackson family for a taped interview set to air on an upcoming episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Oprah chilled with the Jacksons on Saturday and TMZ managed to get their hands on photos snapped of the Big O‘s visit inside the home:

Oprah Winfrey’s production team moved into Katherine Jackson’s Encino, California, home Saturday to tape an interview with Michael Jackson’s mother, a source inside the home said. Winfrey was in the Jackson home to conduct the interview Saturday afternoon, according the source, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Katherine Jackson has not given any interviews since her son’s death last year except for a paid interview for a documentary. Winfrey’s production company did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment.

As you can see, Oprah met with matriarch Katherine Jackson and her estranged husband Joe Jackson … which seems odd to me considering that the couple have been separated for years and reportedly made the decision to divorce. You can also see that Katherine was pimpin’ out the book that she is selling in memory of her late son Michael Jackson. If memory serves, the Jacksons are also selling a limited edition line of commemorative belts in memory of the late MJ and I’ll bet those belts will show up in the Oprah interview as well. Because this is the first interview that Katherine has given since the interview she gave to The Daily Mirror back in June, I’m certain many will tune in to watch this ep of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Do y’all have any interesting in seeing this Jackson interview with Oprah Winfrey?

First Look: Daniel Craig On The Set Of ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 08:38 AM PDT

At the start of last month we got our first look at actress Rooney Mara on the Swedish set of the US remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and today we get our first look at her co-star Daniel Craig filming his first scenes for the film over the weekend. As you should already know, the Dragon Tattoo trilogy is being remade for the English-speaking audience … here are photos of Daniel Craig in the role of Mikael Blomkvist:

It’s one of the most hotly-anticipated movies of all time. After it was announced Hollywood would be remaking the original Swedish adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s famous novel The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, the question on everybody’s lips was who would be playing lead character Mikael Blomkvist. And now James Bond star Daniel Craig has started shooting the blockbuster on the streets of Stockholm, Sweden. The 42-year-old actor was spotted shooting one of the opening scenes of the novel on the steps of a courthouse in Stockholm yesterday. Craig was also seen chatting to director David Fincher before another scene shot later in the day. There was no sign of Craig’s co-star Rooney Mara, who will be playing the title character Lisbeth Salander, on set, although she was pictured arriving in Sweden [to begin] training for one of the film’s many motorcycle scenes. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is the first book in Larsson’s trilogy and tells the story of journalist Blomkvist, who teams up with computer hacker Salander to attempt to solve the disappearance of a young girl called Harriet Vanger. And while the Hollywood version of the film is sure to be a hit, director Fincher insists he isn’t trying to remake Niels Arden Oplev’s Swedish film. He said in a recent interview: ‘There is absolutely no reason to do such a thing. Steve Zaillian has written the new screenplay and he based it on the book and made his own version. ‘Sure, there are scenes that will resemble those in the Swedish film, but it is the book that we are filming.’ Meanwhile, Fincher also confirmed that British actress Joely Richardson would be joining the cast, although he did not reveal which character she will be playing. Steven Berkoff has also signed on to the film, and is believed to be playing Lisbeth’s villainous conservator Nils Bjurman. The movie is expected to be released in late 2011.

HMMMM … while I fully trust that David Fincher will make a fantastic movie, I’m a bit nervous about a screenplay that will be a new “version” of the original tale. I was so blown away by the original Swedish film that I find it hard to believe that any new version will be able to improve on the source material … but I’m willing to reserve judgment until we see more. My guess is that Joely Richardson has been cast as Mikael‘s co-worker/girlfriend Erika Pink reader Amy reminds me that Robin Wright (formerly Penn) has been cast as Erika. Production on Dragon Tattoo is now in full swing … it shouldn’t be long before we get to see and hear more from the set.

Watch: ‘The Simpsons’ Main Title Opening Directed By Banksy

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 07:45 AM PDT

Back in February we learned that the long-running animated series The Simpsons had revamped and updated the main title opening of the show for the first time in its 19 year history … today we take another look at the main title opening sequence of last night’s ep which was also changed a bit. The sequence was directed by guerrilla graffiti artist Banksy who used the opening to give his take on how The Simpsons is really put together:


The Simpsons are always very clever with their opening sequences but this time, all the cleverness comes from Banksy. I’m not sure but this may be the first time the opening was directed by someone outside of the production team of The Simpsons (I’m certain it’s the first time an artist was allowed to direct the opening). The screencaps above do NOT show the best parts of the opening, tho, which come after the “couch gag”. Check out the opening in full to see what I’m talking about …


LOL!! I’m always impressed with the way 20th Century Fox allows The Simpsons to make fun of the company … this Banksy-directed opening seems to be the most scathing portrayal of the company yet. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, Banksy shows what an “evil corporation” Fox truly is … to much hilarity. It’s a great opening … one of the best, IMHO. What do y’all think? Funny, right?
