Kate Middleton & Prince William are finally, officially engaged after nine years

Posted: 16 Nov 2010 08:52 AM PST

I got up early this morning (because I am hungover, ugh), and I was shocked at the Today Show's first story: the engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton! This wasn't supposed to happen until next year or the year after! Oh, well. It's all official and everything - William officially proposed to Kate in October while they were in Kenya (on one of their eight annual holidays), and the idea is that they will have the wedding next Spring or Summer (nail it down Kate!) some time. Waity Katie waits no more! After nine long years, she's going to be a bride, her only goal, ever. Here's the official statement:

The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton.

The wedding will take place in the Spring or Summer of 2011, in London. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.

Prince William and Miss Middleton became engaged in October during a private holiday in Kenya. Prince William has informed The Queen and other close members of his family. Prince William has also sought the permission of Miss Middleton’s father.

Following the marriage, the couple will live in north Wales, where Prince William will continue to serve with the Royal Air Force.

[From People]

People Magazine also has a quote from an "old friend" who claims: “Everyone is absolutely delighted. He has never had eyes for any other woman since Kate came on the scene. She is going to make a wonderful wife, a wonderful princess.” Yeah, he's never had eyes for anyone else except all of those women that he went off with after dumping Kate multiple times from 2002-2007 (here for Vanity Fair's article on the history of their breakups). Granted, 2007-2010 has been a lot more stable for the couple, but enough with the whitewash.

Okay, so I have to eat sh-t for some things, and I have to take credit for some things. Here's a convenient list:

*I honestly didn't think the engagement would happen right now. I really did think that William would make Kate wait for another couple of years. My bad.

* I told you Katie Nicholl at The Mail knew what she was talking about. That bitch has sources in the Middleton family. My suspects: Carole Middleton (Kate’s mom) or Kate herself.

*I will take credit for knowing that Kate's parents appearance at Balmoral just a few weeks ago was significant, and a good sign for their relationship.

*I really, really wanted Will to dump Kate after she was content to be his doormat, beck-and-call girl for nine long years. I thought it would provide a valuable life lesson to young women all over the world: do not spend that much time waiting around for a ring, and doing nothing else. Get a job, do some charity work, make the dude wait around for you once in a while. Instead, little girls are now getting an entirely different life lesson: if you wait long enough and do nothing but run to your man every time he calls, and take him back after he screws around on you repeatedly, then you too can win the big prize of a ring. Ugh.

That being said, congratulations to the happy couple. I'm really looking forward to the engagement interview - I've never heard Kate's voice before.

Here's the Today Show's video for the engagement announcement:

Britney Spears, for the love of God, just shave your head again

SURPRISE! Britney's hair is still jacked to hell. And now she's back to flashing her panties, although this is a top-of-the-thong flash, as opposed to an open-leg/short-skirt flash. So… small miracles? And honestly, her clothes look like they fit and she's wearing panties, so she's doing a lot better.

It seems kind of sad that all I've got on Britney Spears today is her consistently f-cked up weave. I've already said so much about the state of it - I don't know why she forces herself to live with this junk. I wish I had some kind of statement from her about her parents' reconciliation, and how happy she was. Instead, we get The Weave on Parade, with costume changes. Sigh… Britney…JUST SHAVE IT OFF.

Did Jessica Simpson buy her own $100,000 Neil Lane ring?

Posted: 16 Nov 2010 08:23 AM PST

wenn5543394
**The above ring isn’t her engagement ring. I wish!

Jessica Simpson is aware of our judgment. She sees our judgment, and she is prepared to give us a media extravaganza in order to prove her love, to prove that THIS LOVE is for real. Since announcing her engagement on Sunday, Team Farty McObvious has issued a dozen different missives to Us Weekly, People Magazine, Styleist, and PopEater, amongst others. They are trying to create a story about two people who hooked up five months ago and fell crashingly in love with each other and are now going to marry and have lots of babies because it's true love and it has nothing to do with NICK LACHEY. Anyway, now that we've gotten the talk about her pervert father, the dire need for a prenup, and the alleged details of the 11/11 proposal out of the way, it's time to discuss the ring, yet again. We still don't have photos of the ring - a ruby with two diamonds, set in yellow gold, but you can see the ring here. Apparently, ruby is Jessica's birthstone. I've already said it looks like a tacky mall ring, and that if Eric picked it out, he has horrible taste. But now PopEater is theorizing that Jessica might have picked this sh-t out, and that she likely paid for it too. Oh, and it's Neil Lane. Ugh.

The sight of Jessica Simpson’s $100,000 ruby-and-diamond Neil Lane engagement ring alone is enough to make you gasp, but the fact that she may have purchased it herself is enough to bring you to tears.

“No way could Eric, who doesn’t have a job at the moment, afford to purchase such an expensive ring,” a friend of Jessica’s tells me. “Yes, he made a little bit of money in the NFL and is from a wealthy family, but unless his parents helped him out, Jessica must have paid for it herself.”

Jessica, who unveiled her flashy bling on Nov. 14 at a Kansas City department store, has long made it clear that money is not an issue with her, but even so her friends are concerned about the star’s $100 million fortune.

“First, we find out that Jessica doesn’t want to have a prenup, and now we find out that she might have paid for her own ring. It just doesn’t feel right to me,” a family friend tells me. “We all want Jessica to be happy and finally find true love after all she has been through, but she doesn’t understand that in the long run if she pays for everything it will hurt her relationship with any man.”

Our friends at Stylist reveal that Jess’s second engagement ring features an approximately 4-carat, oval-shaped ruby stone flanked by two diamonds from Neal Lane, known for his rare vintage jewels. Its worth is estimated to be at least $100,000.

“What’s the big deal? Jessica has more money than she can ever spend,” another friend explains. “If she wants to treat her future husband, friends or even herself to an expensive piece of jewelry, it’s her business and no one else.”

[From PopEater]

Do I judge Jessica for buying her own ring? I don't actually. I think it makes good sense for a woman if she's wealthier than her future husband to not only buy her own ring, but to pick it out as well. I mean, this is the ring that you will theoretically be wearing for the rest of your life. Why not get a good one? Of course, if Jessica did pick it out, then she's the one with tacky style. Also - while I don't judge Jessica for the ring, I do judge her for being with a guy who can't be bothered to do anything but be at her beck and call. Eric Johnson is like the new Kate Middleton.

Speaking of: Jessica totally got media c-ckblocked by Kate Middleton, right? HA. And you thought the next six months were going to be about non-stop Jessica's Wedding bullsh-t. Now Kate will get all of the attention meant for Jessica. That'll teach Jessica from trying to c-ckblock Nick Lachey.

Carey Mulligan’s Chanel for the CFDA event: tragic, dated, or gorgeous?

Posted: 16 Nov 2010 07:51 AM PST

cfda_awards_05_wenn3101365

Last night there was a dinner to benefit the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, and several celebrities came out to eat and raise money. Karl Lagerfeld does not approve of any of it, from the eating to the fashion to the general atmosphere, as you can tell. Probably because there was some especially bad fashion at a fashion event, and perhaps because The Kaiser designed a couple of these bad dresses. Take Carey Mulligan, in Chanel. I f-cking hate this dress. If it was just the dress, maybe I could like it, but the bejeweled shrug/caplet thing is just horrible. It makes her look like she's stepped off the Dynasty set. I dislike the booties too.

cfda_awards_06_wenn3101366

The only good thing about this - Carey learned at the event that she was cast as Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann's version of The Great Gatsby (starring Leo D.). Baz called her at the event, and she was so happy she burst into tears! Good for her.

Next up: Christina Ricci and her bangs trauma. A few months ago, Ricci was looking great. Not so much anymore. I hate the bangs, and I hate the dress too.

cfda_awards_01_wenn3101361

Blake Lively was there too, with her boobs looking especially jacked. Ugh. She was up for the part of Daisy - sucks to be her.

Do you think Zac Posen is at all perturbed that Kim Kardashian's Kat-Face was his date? You know who used to be his date for these events? Natalie Portman. And now all he can scrounge up is Kim. Ugh.

And last but not least, the Olsens. JESUS. These two need an exorcism.

Brad Pitt’s Plan B offers Chilean miners “millions of dollars” for film rights

Posted: 16 Nov 2010 07:19 AM PST

wenn8922813

Brad Pitt is a whore for tragedy. Not really, but Brad and his production company Plan B do seem to love the stories of real-life dramas, plus some weepy fictional melodramas. So it comes as no surprise that Brad and Plan B have offered those Chilean miners a movie deal - the miners were stuck in that mine since August, and were only rescued in October. And now Brad Pitt wants to tell their story, and he's offered them a deal "in the millions" for the rights. Damn.

The 33 Chilean miners who were trapped below ground for two and a half months until their dramatic rescue last month may get their story told on the big screen – with the help of Brad Pitt.

The actor’s production company, Plan B, “has expressed potential interest in the story,” says company representative, Jon Liebman, CEO of Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

“Like so many people worldwide, Plan B has been incredibly moved by the story of the Chilean miners and their families,” says Liebman.

A lawyer for the miners, Edgardo Reinos Lundstedt, tells the Santiago, Chile, daily El Mercurio that Plan B made an offer in the millions.

But Liebman tells PEOPLE, “There have not yet been serious discussions.”

Among Plan B’s other movies have been A Mighty Heart, with Angelina Jolie; The Time Traveler’s Wife, with Eric Bana; Eat Pray Love, with Julia Roberts; and Kick-Ass.

[From People]

Would I see this movie? Only if they made it authentic and used unknown actors - because if Hollywood had their way, they would be casting James Franco, Cheech Marin and Robert Pattinson as three of the Chilean miners. I would even be disappointed if they got someone like Javier Bardem, just because… well, I saw those miners, and while I'm sure they're nice men, none of them looked like Javi. Maybe Diego Luna? That wouldn't be so bad. Gael Garcia Bernal, too. Sigh… now I'm going to be casting Hispanic men all day.

Jeff Bridges, Stephen Colbert & James Franco named as GQ’s Men of the Year

Posted: 16 Nov 2010 06:50 AM PST

cv01_noupcmed

As we saw yesterday, the time has come for the end-of-the-year lists and fake awards naming people The Most or The Best of Year. GQ named Scarlett Johansson the "Babe of the Year" and now they've released their other People of the Year. Jeff Bridges got Man of the Year, for his Oscar win and his upcoming roles in Tron and True Grit. Plus, you know, Jeff is just awesome and everyone loves and respects him.

My favorite was Stephen Colbert, who GQ named as "Patriot of the Year". I just love this photo of Colbert bleeding red, white and blue. It's a great shot. I wish he was wearing his glasses though!

gq21

Drake was named "Breakout of the Year" because you can't turn on a radio these days without hearing him, and hey, it's well-deserved.

gq3

And James Franco was named "Leading Actor of the Year" probably because everyone thinks he's going to at the very least be nominated for Best Actor for his role in 127 Hours. It’s interesting seeing him clean-shaven, and I almost didn’t recognize him.

All in all, not a bad list.

Christina Aguilera: drunken, drag-queen hot mess, or not that bad?

Posted: 16 Nov 2010 06:30 AM PST

wenn5572348

I don't even know where to start with Christina Aguilera these days. Yesterday was a big day for her - she received (paid for) a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and she had her big premiere of Burlesque, with CHER. Sigh… okay, let's do the Walk of Fame stuff first. Christina was drunk off her ass, judging solely from these photos. Her hair was a mess, her makeup was applied with a shovel, and she came close to flashing her cooter at the world. She's just a f-cking mess.

wenn5572332

wenn5572334

Next up, the Burlesque premiere. Cher looked especially waxy, like she had just frozen herself in 1989. Christina is wearing Elie Saab, it seems, although I first thought it was Roberto Cavalli, because Elisabetta Canalis wore an almost identical dress LAST YEAR to the Venice Film Festival, only Eli's Cavalli was more of a blue-green, and Xtina's is just green. Almost the same cut, though. Is Elie Saab copying last year's Cavalli? A discussion for another time - Christina looked totally jacked for the premiere too, and her cotton candy hair is just… f-cking tragic. She could be a cute girl, but I have no idea why she feels like these drag queen styles are good for her. I'm not even joking about the drag queens either - there are drag performers who wear less makeup than Christina.

Emma Watson in Calvin Klein at the NYC Potter premiere: gorgeous or boring?

Posted: 16 Nov 2010 05:48 AM PST

These are all photos from the New York premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I. Jesus, isn't this Calvin Klein dress beautiful on Emma Watson? Like, it's just perfect. The cut is gorgeous, the color is great (perhaps a little too dark, but black looks wonderful on her), and the makeup, accessories and styling are fabulous. Emma Watson gets it right consistently, bless her heart. The simplicity of the cut works so well on her slender figure - a girl with a bigger bust (me) could not pull this off at all. Also: Emma's date last night was her brother, Alex. Alex is rather hot. Okay, he's really hot. But I don't know how old he is, so I'm trying to tamp down the cougar.

wenn3100466

Look at Emma's bracelet thing - it's fabulous.

wenn3100334

I love that Rupert Grint went with a three-piece suit. He looks good in a vest! So cute.

wenn3100384

Guess who else was at the NYC premiere? My love, Ralph Fiennes. And he brought Liam Neeson along as his date! I love that Liam and Ralph are so incredibly tight, I really do. They show up to each other's premieres all the time, they go on vacations together, and they just seem like they're really close, really "real" friends. Also: I could eat Ralph off a cracker. THIS MAN.

Jane Fonda downplays breast cancer diagnosis, says she’s now cancer free

Posted: 16 Nov 2010 05:46 AM PST

News has come out that Jane Fonda, 72, was diagnosed with a non-invasive form of breast cancer after a routine scan at her doctor’s office. Fonda addressed this on her blog, writing simply that it’s true and that she’s fine now. She wrote “As the press has reported today, I had a scare with a non-invasive breast cancer but it is ALL OUT NOW!!! I am so lucky. We got it early and it was, as I said, non-invasive. I want to thanks my friends and fans who have written beautiful letters. It has meant a lot to me.” It sounds like she doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it and that she’s not going to address it much further. Here’s what her rep told People:

Jane Fonda has revealed that she recently had a breast cancer scare, but after a successful procedure is free of the disease.

The actress and fitness guru, 72, is “completely fine,” her rep tells PEOPLE.

A small tumor was discovered during a routine checkup a few weeks ago. The cancer was found to be non-invasive, and Fonda had a procedure earlier this week to remove the tumor.

“She’s 100 percent cancer-free," says her rep. “She’s completely fine and it’s business as usual for her.

The fitness dynamo is currently promoting her new Primetime Fitness DVDs, which will hit stores on Nov. 30. She will be re-launching her Fonda Workout brand with a series of DVDs that will also feature fitness experts such as Tara Stiles, Jeanette Jenkins, Karena Dawn and Katrina Hodgson, on December 26.

[From People]

This came out last week but I missed it for some reason. I love that Fonda has a DVD to promote but that she’s completely blowing off her cancer scare and is acting like it’s not a big deal. I’m glad she’s ok and that this was caught very early. The National Cancer institute recommends that women in their 40s and up have a routine mammogram every 1-2 years.

Meanwhile Rosie O’Donnell is undergoing her own cancer scare after doctors found two lumps in her breasts. She had an MRI and a biopsy and is waiting for the results. Rosie’s mom died from breast cancer at just 39 years old. Be well Rosie!

Note by Kaiser: Isn’t her son Troy Garity hot? I love him. He’s a good actor too.

Lindsay Lohan’s secret trauma: she has anxiety!

Posted: 16 Nov 2010 05:27 AM PST

fp_6062894_lohan_lindsay_fp4_111510

This story made me laugh out loud. I mean… I'll buy that Lindsay Lohan is a victim of her predatory parents, of Hollywood, of her various drug and alcohol addictions. But let's not gild the lily, okay? She's not poor, pathetic Lindsay who is a victim of everyone and everything - she's a cold little sociopath, a crack hustler who will lie, cheat, steal and f-ck her way into getting what she wants. Case in point: Lindsay has been given leeway to leave her "Sober House" for her LA "Crack House" several times already. How did she talk her way into that, especially given that she's supposed to be in rehab past the holidays, by court order? Ugh. Anyway, Radar reports that the latest "Lindsay is a victim, for reals" story is that Lindsay Lohan has secretly battled… anxiety. Yes, she's anxious. Just wait until you hear WHY she's anxious:

Lindsay Lohan is making “remarkable progress at Betty Ford”, but her treatment team is now turning their attention on an issue that has yet to be made public.

While her substance abuse problems and history of family-related strife have often made headlines, RadarOnline.com has learned that the Mean Girls star, 24, is also struggling with anxiety associated with the continued fallout from her infamous 2007 DUI arrest.

On the night of her arrest in Santa Monica, Lohan allegedly chased Michelle Peck - the mother of her former assistant - and Tracie Rice - Peck’s passenger.

Lohan also had three male passengers in her car who, along with Rice, are suing the actress for assault and negligence among other claims.

There is a status conference for the case next month, and a source with knowledge of the situation told RadarOnline.com that while the “case will be likely going to trial next April,” it is currently “causing Lindsay a great deal of anxiety”.

The source said, “Lindsay is taking responsibility for her actions, but this group of people just won’t be happy until they can drag Lindsay’s name through the mud. Lindsay’s legal team has made reasonable settlement offers, but those have been rejected.”

Lindsay’s Betty Ford team “working with Lindsay to specifically deal with the anxiety, and the stress she is feeling about this. Lindsay and her doctors don’t want this to have a negative impact on her sobriety. If this was anyone else besides Lindsay Lohan, this lawsuit never would have been filed,” the source added.

Financial constraints also have LiLo concerned.

The source revealed: “The fact is Lindsay has no money. The amount of money they are seeking is outrageous. Lindsay could be on the hook for punitive damages, and that is causing her even more concern. Lindsay is scheduled to begin filming Inferno early next year and she will show up to court to when the trial begins. Lindsay will do what is asked of her,” the source added.

[From Radar]

She's anxious because she hijacked a car! Poor, poor Lindsay. She's the real victim in all of this, now I can see it! Now, don't get the impression that I'm making fun of people with genuine anxiety disorders - I'm not. I went through a stage where I had some very scary panic attacks and I was briefly put on antidepressants (which I swiftly went off of). I'm just saying, it sucks, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I'm also saying that Lindsay needs to stop with the drug-seeking behavior, because this sounds suspiciously like she's making a play to go back on some prescription meds.

One last thing about the crack hustler: she wants to go home to New York for a Crackhead Christmas. It's like she didn't hear one word that her judge said - that she needed to be in rehab through the holidays, because that's when many people seek out drugs and alcohol.
