| Barbra Streisand sort-of disses Glee and then backtracks Posted: 14 Feb 2011 09:03 AM PST
[From E! Online] That’s a bogus explanation. You don’t say “not if I can help it” if you’re busy, you say if if you don’t want to be associated with something. Barbra realizes that Ryan Murphy is a formidable opponent and that there are young kids on that show who are hardworking and talented, so she’s not going to let her comment stand like that. I guess I can’t blame her but I’d like to see Ryan Murphy try and get in a bitch fight with Babs. He would end up slinking away with his tail between his leg. Let fading stars like Goop go on Glee and get their mack on with Matthew Morrison. Barbra doesn’t make guest appearances. She gets honored without showing up most of the time. Plus I think Glee jumped the shark with that zombie episode on Superbowl Sunday. I really do. They tried to parody themselves but just made us realize how pointless the show is most of the time. Barbra Streisand and James Brolin are shown at that Musicares tribute to Babs on 2/11/11. Lea Michele and her pose hard are shown there too. Credit: WENN.com             |
| Rojo Caliente & Cynthia Nixon release the first photo of their son Max Posted: 14 Feb 2011 08:56 AM PST Last week, Cynthia Nixon and her partner, Christine "Rojo Caliente" Marinoni announced that Christine had been pregnant all this time and had just given birth to a son. They really kept the whole thing under wraps, but now that little Max Ellington is here, Cynthia and Rojo have no problem sharing their joy. They released this wonderful photo that is so full of ginger, it should be against the law. Max is going to look like Prince Harry, you know it.
[From Us Weekly] Congratulations to the happy family! I kind of like the way Cynthia and Rojo did it - keeping the pregnancy quiet, but being open about the baby when he came. It's nice. Additional pics by WENN.    |
| Jude Law goes to work on ‘Contagion: The Sienna Miller Story’ Posted: 14 Feb 2011 08:40 AM PST These are some new photos of Jude Law on the San Francisco set of Contagion, a film directed by Steven Soderbergh. Don't ask me what Jude is doing. Considering the film title, my guess is that he's supposed to be wearing some kind of protective half-suit which enables him to not be touched by the contagion. Or maybe he has the infection…? OMG, is this all about Sienna Miller's Vadge of Doom?!? I will say this - I appreciate how germs apparently are resistant to cloth pants, because this hazmat suit only seems to be for the top half of the body. Maybe Jude's dong is so radioactive, "the infection" won't get near his bottom half? Perhaps the full title of the movie is Contagion: The Sienna Miller Story. Anyway, the Daily Mail has another story in a continuing theme of "Sienna Miller will literally bone anybody". Last week, just after Jude and Sienna's breakup was announced, The Mail claimed that Sienna and Jude split up for various reasons, including her current "Head Drama Queen Of All" status, plus her rumored relationships with various men. In a new story over the weekend, The Mail claims that Sienna has been humping on Tom Sturridge, best known as: A) Robert Pattinson's best friend, B) the dude Kristen Stewart is trying to bone in an effort to "breakup" Sparkles and Tom, or C) the dude who may have dated Carey Mulligan for a hot second. Whatever drama there is around Sienna, it doesn't seem to be affecting Jude, though. Apparently, we are witnessing the new-and-improved, maturing Jude. A source tells the Mail, "The last thing Jude wanted was a media circus. He has flown out to avoid the spotlight and will attend the Oscars alone. He regrets things did not work out with Sienna." Good for him. That is, good for him until another pregnant chick turns up. Photos courtesy of Fame.    |
| Jay-Z and Beyonce are taking a “trial separation” - rumor or true? Posted: 14 Feb 2011 08:17 AM PST
[From MediaTakeOut] I could see Jay-Z and Beyonce at odds over when and whether to start a family. He’s said it’s a priority, she’s either said it’s not or made some kind of hint that she’s trying and it’s not working yet. It’s hard to tell, but she’s probably not pregnant as US reported in October or she would be showing by now. If this is true, these two are going to keep it under wraps for as long as possible. As it is, this is MediaTakeOut so it could be complete crap. Photos are from June, September and October of last year. Credit: WENN.com    |
| Jessica Simpson gushes about Eric Johnson: “Nothing blocks his emotional life” Posted: 14 Feb 2011 08:06 AM PST Jessica Simpson is the cover girl for the new issue of New York Magazine. Thankfully, the piece isn't all about her upcoming wedding, or her weight, or her Football K-Fed, or whatever else Farty usually ends up talking about. Instead, the focus is on Jessica's success as the head of one of the most profitable fashion lines in America. The article states something odd: "Jessica Simpson's fashion empire… clocked sales around $750 million last year. This year, Simpson, who is 30, will add both a full ready-to-wear collection as well as a "career separates" line to her docket, which should push sales past the billion-dollar mark. And Simpson—or Simpson's top surrogate, her mother—will sit in a room just like this to approve every single thing that gets her label inside. To put that figure in context, it means Jessica Simpson is doing roughly the same volume in sales as Michael Kors." Jessica = Michael Kors. Astonishing. The full NY Mag piece is worth a read, but here are some of the quotes from the piece:
[From New York Magazine] I was applauding her up until she started in with the Eric stuff. Goodness, she's dumb as a box of hair… specifically when it comes to men. I have to admit, Jessica might have some business acumen, and obviously, she deserves some of the credit for her success in fashion. But on a personal level, about men and about relationships… I just want to sit her down and pat her head and say "No, Farty, you're doing it wrong."    |
| Prince Harry is officially Prince William’s Best Man Posted: 14 Feb 2011 07:28 AM PST Above is a photo of Princes Harry and William from 2006, which was just recently released. I thought it a fitting occasion to use this photo - Prince Harry has just been officially named Prince William's Best Man. And you know the Best Man gets all of the action. Yes, this isn't a surprise… who else was William going to choose? Also not surprising, Kate Middleton chose her younger sister Pippa as her maid of honor. On the Today show, they said that Pippa was going to be one of the oldest maids of honor ever in the history of royal weddings… and Pippa is only 26 years old. Weird. Also: there's still no information about the designers - although everyone pretty much agrees that Kate will be wearing Bruce Oldfield, and Kate's mother and sisters have been seen entering Oldfield's studio.
[From People] I find it kind of sad that Kate's bridal party consists of mostly William's extended family. She got to pick her maid of honor, but why can't she have bridesmaids that are girls she went to university with? Or friends she's known since childhood? Or have all of those girls been jettisoned over the years as Kate has grown closer to William's inner circle? Also, don't get any ideas about the Best Man and the Maid of Honor finding true love in each other's arms. Harry likes trashy-looking blondes, not geisha brunettes. And Chelsy Davy will likely be Harry's date for the day. Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Marion Cotillard officially cast in Batman 3, who will she play? Posted: 14 Feb 2011 07:22 AM PST
[From People] Anne Hathaway has already been cast as catwoman so leaves the question as to who Cotillard will play. Kaiser thinks she’ll be playing Talia Ducard, the daughter of Liam Neeson’s character. Quite a few actresses have been attached to that role, including Keira Knightley and Rachel Weisz. It’s a plum role and one that Cotillard should fill nicely. She’ll have the mom boobs for it. Marion Cotillard is shown on 10/14 and 12/4/10. Credit: WENN.com    |
| Lady Gaga’s Grammy performance: hot mess or Madge-tastic? Posted: 14 Feb 2011 06:58 AM PST CB thinks Lady Gaga is full of it. I'll admit to having a higher Gaga-tolerance, but Gaga's antics at the Grammys might have been a little bit too much, even for me. First off, I'm not one of the many, many, many people who minds that Gaga sounds a lot like vintage Madonna. Madonna no longer makes music that sounds like her old stuff, so there's a void to be filled. Is "Born This Way" a complete rip-off of "Express Yourself"? Eh. They're similar. Very similar. But my biggest problem with "Born This Way" is that it is merely a decent pop song. That's it. Gaga pushes it like the song is going to redefine pop music and become an instant classic. It just isn't. You can even see it in the Grammy performance - this song is as cookie-cutter as it gets, and it doesn't even inspire anything more newsworthy as a dumb egg gimmick: She even looks like vintage Madge. Ugh. Dances like her too, although to give Gaga some credit, Gaga does seem more acrobatic and more like a gymnast than Madge ever did. Also, when Gaga won for Best Pop Vocal Album, she thanked Whitney Houston, NOT MADGE. "I want to say thank you to Whitney Houston…When I wrote ‘Born This Way’ I imagined you were singing it because I wasn’t secure enough to see myself as a superstar.” Okay, CB is right. Gaga is full of it. Screencaps via the video, additional egg photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Gwyneth Paltrow shakes her goop thang with Cee Lo Green: love or hate it? Posted: 14 Feb 2011 06:22 AM PST Perhaps I should have sat through the Grammys, if only to see this - Gwyneth Paltrow's rhythm-less ass shaking her goop thing on top of a piano played by Cee Lo Green. Surrounded by Muppets. Here's a question: wouldn't this performance have been completely awesome and wonderful if it was just Cee Lo Green and the Muppets? It would have been tight, right? But Goop had to go all Olivia Newton-John and wear a skin-tight black catsuit and hoist her goop onto the piano. Classic. It wasn't as horrible as it could have been, and it wasn't as bad as a was expecting. I like that Goop wasn't out there first thing, like she and Cee Lo are musical equals. She comes out later, like she's the diva everyone has been waiting for. So… how did she do, in general? The singing didn't make me want to gauge out my eardrums, but visually, I was still assaulted. The catsuit, the shoes, Dame Goopy draped on the piano… *shudder*. Screencaps from the video.    |
| Grammys recap and winners - did you watch the whole thing? (Update: Videos) Posted: 14 Feb 2011 06:14 AM PST Last night was the music industry’s biggest night and we were treated to a lot of excellent performances. I wish that the Oscars would follow the Grammys lead and try to make it entertaining for the masses. Three and a half hours is too long though and I started to get really tired toward the end. (I was watching in the morning too.) They should cut about half of it or try to spread it over a couple of nights.
* Presenter Ricky’s Martin’s silver pants. That is all.
* Miranda Lambert performed “The House That Built Me.” That song evokes so many memories and I remember the first time I heard it on the radio. Her performance wasn’t that great though. She just kind of stood there. * Presenter Lenny Kravitz was draped in black animal skins and chains like a post apocalyptic caveman.
Usher and his dancers in royal blue then did OMG, with Justin coming on stage to kneel underneath him at the finale. It was like Usher was taking his throne as king of the teenyboppers. * Presenter Pauley Perrette from NCIS was wearing a ridiculous lime green dress with some black notes on it, and the chick from Paramore, Hayley Williams, had on a sequin black dress with a see-through panel in the middle and a fuschia ring of feathers at the mid-thigh hem. Coupled with her candy red hair it was too much. *Muse’s Matt Bellamy gave a shout out to his “beautiful pregnant girlfriend over there” when his band won best rock album. The camera should have panned to Kate Hudson, but it didn’t. * Lady Gaga won best pop album for Fame Monster. She had on a black sculptured body suit with exaggerated rib bones, ass and breasts. The audio cut out at the beginning so she must have sworn. Her speech was so over the top. “I had this dream when I was really young that I could be whatever I wanted to be.” She thanked Whitney Houston, saying “when I wrote Born this Way I imagined Whitney singing it, because I wasn’t secure enough in myself to imagine I was a superstar.” GMAFB. Shouldn’t she thank Madonna for writing the song? * Mumford & Sons performed “The Cave” along with brass accompaniment. They didn’t have a backdrop or anything and they didn’t need it. The song was so good and they were so fired up. * The Avett Brothers performed “Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise.” and then Bob Dylan came on stage with both bands to sing “Maggie’s Farm.” Everyone looked thrilled to jam with Dylan, and the result was all kinds of awesome. * Lady Antebellum sang if “You Don’t Know Me By Now” and “American Honey.” They closed it out with their hit “Need you Now.” They then won Best Country Album. * Jamie Foxx presented Cee Lo Green who did “Forget You” with Gwyneth Paltrow accompanied by dancing puppets. Cee Lo was wearing a bunch of feathers and looked like Elton John threw up all over him. Gwyneth came out in a low cut tight black catsuit with some killer shoes. She did a great job, I’ll grudgingly admit. It’s worth noting that Coldplay wasn’t nominated for anything so they weren’t there.
*Nora Jones, John Mayer and Keith Urban did an acoustic version of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.” Perfection. Dolly should have been there! Mayer looked like he’d been on a bender.
* Esperanza Spalding won best new artist. * Glee’s Matthew Morrison introduced the Grammy president Neil Portnow. They then did the tribute to artists lost. * Mick Jagger did “Everybody Needs Somebody To Love.” This is when I really started zoning out. I mean Mick is awesome and everything but this was just too long. * Kris Kristofferson presented Barbra Streisand, who did “Evergreen.” It was lovely. * Nicki Minaj and Will.i.am presented best rap album, which Eminem won. He looked too skinny to me. He thanked Rihanna and gave a shout out to Detroit. * JLo and Skeletor introduced the record of the year. Marc Anthony started singing “Volare” and Lopez said “Papi, no” after which he scrunched up his face and rolled his eyes. I’m sure they practiced that but it felt like she was schooling him. * Lady Antebellum won for “Need You Now” * Jason Segal told some lame jokes to introduce Arcade Fire performing “Month of May.” It was kind of dizzying with a ton of strobes and flashing lights. * Kris Kristofferson and Barbra Streisand presented album of the year, which went to Arcade Fire for The Suburbs. I don’t think Barbra knew who they were because she said their album first. Here’s a list of the winners: (more complete list here) Did you make it through the whole thing? There were some amazing performances that’s for sure. Here’s a link to another highlights video from the BBC. Update: Thanks to HipHopHoney for the performance videos.    |
