Carrie Ann Inaba’s boyfriend proposes to her on Regis & Kelly: cheesy or sweet?

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 09:09 AM PDT

I’ve seen Dancing With The Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba co-hosting on Regis and Kelly in the past. She’s very bubbly and excitable, and the time I saw her she was happily showing off photos of her cute cats. Well Carrie was on Regis & Kelly today, doing guest hosting duties with Regis in Kelly’s place. Her fiance dropped in to propose to her towards the end of the show and damned if I wasn’t tearing up along with Carrie when I saw the video! It was really touching, and as cheesy as it may seem to propose on television I found it all very romantic. Here’s more, from Popeater:

Carrie Ann Inaba got more than she bargained for when she agreed to sub for Kelly Ripa on today’s episode of ‘Live With Regis and Kelly’ — 2.5 carats more, to be exact.

The ‘Dancing With the Stars’ judge was surprised on-air by her boyfriend of two years, Jesse Sloan, when he asked for her hand in marriage.

Earlier in the show, Inaba, 43, denied reports that she was engaged, showing off her bare ring finger to the audience.

In the show’s final minutes, all of that changed. The lighting crew set the mood as violinists ushered in the would-be groom, who told told Inaba how beautiful and inspiring she was to him, finally working up the nerve to ask, “Will you marry me?”

Inaba joyfully responded, “Yes! I will marry you!” and showed off her new 2.5-carat Rafinity princess-cut ring to the audience.

If things hadn’t gone as planned, Inaba always had a second choice: newly single Jake Gyllenhaal, who toasted the happy couple with fellow guest Howie Mandel following the proposal, had offered himself — and a fake ring — to Inaba before Sloan arrived with the real thing.

I know some people are going to call it tacky to make something like that public, but I disagree. Getting married is a way of showing that world that you want to spend the rest of your life with that person (at that time in your life). That’s why I find public proposals fitting. I thought it was very sweet of her boyfriend to do this. Guys stage grand gestures to propose because they want us to remember that moment forever. Now Carrie and Jesse will always have video of it, along with a very cute story to tell their friends and family. Congratulations to Carrie and Jesse on their engagement!

Christina Hendricks in Vivienne Westwood: boobs & bangs trauma?

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 08:52 AM PDT

You know I love Christina Hendricks. I mean, you KNOW it. She's amazing. She's really pretty, and I love her curves, and I love her on Mad Men, and I love the ginger. But Christina is a hot mess. I don't think she has a stylist - I think she actually chooses her own clothes, and she really doesn't have any idea what to put on her body, for red carpet events, or for casual outings. Anyway, Christina is the new rack (face) of Vivienne Westwood jewelry - you can see a preview of the ads here. Last night was the big launch of Westwood's LA store, and Christina was pretty much the rack of honor. So… it makes sense that she wore Westwood to the event. And although I don't care for the Westwood cigarette pants, the top part - some kind of corseted boob harness - is fine.

It's Christina's tragic styling that bothers me. Such a pretty girl, and those bangs. That bad haircut. Anyway, Christina told reporters that she "loves" Vivienne Westwood, and that "I would wear her clothes every day if I could. I’ve been fairly vocal about the fact I’ve been a fan of hers for years, so there was no way I wasn’t going to do it.”

Sorry about the low-quality, smaller photos. They were all we had!

Kim Cattrall drunkenly berates a NY Post reporter

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 08:21 AM PDT

I've been somewhat surprised that Kim Cattrall has had career longevity beyond Sex and the City. I know people have opinions about the character of Samantha, but I thought Cattrall was the deftest and most talented comedienne on the show, and I enjoy seeing her work beyond the Sam character. She popped up in a small role in the completely underrated Polanski film, The Ghost Writer (I know, it's Polanski, but it's also one of Pierce Brosnan's best performances ever, plus EWAN!). And my mother keeps telling me I should watch My Boy Jack, where she plays the wife of Rudyard Kipling. Anyway, my point is that I like her, and that she's still working.

Her latest project is Meet Monica Velour. Kim plays an aging porn star/single mother, and I keep seeing interviews with Kim where she's talking about how she gained weight for the role. Unfortunately, Kim doesn't stick to her talking points in every interview. Page Six reports this morning that when they sat down to interview Kim for the film, she was a mess. Like, she was yelling at the reporter. And she might have been drunk too. Yikes.

Cranky Kim Cattrall grumped about Hollywood’s bias against older women after the premiere of “Meet Monica Velour” — and told us to get a “respectable” job.

The “Sex and the City” star, who has criticized Hollywood’s obsession with the young and the beautiful, denying talented older actresses plum roles, told us, “Ask me about being a woman. Do you know what it’s like to be 54 and marginalized? It doesn’t get easier as you get older.”

But Cattrall — who put on 20 pounds for her “Monica Velour” movie role as an aging former porn star living in a rural Indiana trailer park and stripping to make ends meet — had even tougher words to say about working for a gossip column.

When we tried to break the ice with Cattrall, mentioning a ridiculous tip we’d gotten earlier in the day about her getting a bikini wax — a well-tackled subject on “SATC” — she snapped, “That’s a stupid question. You’re a smart girl. How could you want to write that?”

She then turned her anger on gossip columns, specifically Page Six, despite our being big fans of hers. “It’ll chew you up and spit you out,” she said, leaning in and adding that being a gossip reporter just isn’t a “respectable job.”

Cattrall asked, “Why don’t you work at — what’s that news agency — Roybers?” When we corrected her, “Reuters,” she conceded, “Yeah, sorry, I’ve been drinking.”

But she didn’t stop there, ranting, “What about writing for a blog? Then you can write about what you want [or] care about.”

Cattrall, holding court at the after-party at the Pamella Roland-sponsored bash at downtown Hotel Chantelle’s rooftop, seemed peeved that because of our deadlines, we hadn’t arrived in time to see her movie — in which her gritty role is a dramatic change from her glamorous and famously oversexed “Sex and the City” character, Samantha Jones.

“You didn’t see my film,” she spat. “Why are you even here?”

[From Page Six]

Maybe Kim was just having a bad night. Maybe she was drunk. Maybe the Page Six girl was really rude. I don't know. How bad is this? If it was a younger, greener celebrity, it would probably be worse, wouldn't it? Considering Kim is usually a professional, I think maybe people will give her a pass, if they pay attention at all. I don't know, it's not like Kim just told the woman to "F- off" - Kim made the effort to give an argument for why she was berating the woman.

By the way, did anyone watch Kim's episode of Who Do You Think You Are? That junk was crazy! Like, she's one generation away from a bigamist!

Vanessa Hudgens in cream Alberta Ferretti: gorgeous or tacky?

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 07:46 AM PDT

Last week, we had the horrible photos from the American premiere of Sucker Punch. The photos were just terrible, because all of the "stars" of the film were dressed like they were in a B-list pageant: lots of tacky satin gowns and angst. Last night was the London premiere for Sucker Punch, and I have to admit, some of the girls stepped it up a notch. Vanessa Hudgens is the obvious leader, I suppose, just because I know who she is. The gown is Alberta Ferretti. I like the gown, in general. I probably would have liked it better on someone else, but I don't hate it on Vanessa.

I do have two problems with it, though. First of all, Vanessa is a compulsive over-dresser and pageant-gown-wearer. If it's made from cheap looking satin, Vanessa buys it. This is one of the higher-quality gowns she's worn, and that deserves applause, but she's still over-dressed for a premiere, in my opinion. Second problem: this dress should have better tailoring. There's too much fabric in the midsection, and it makes Vanessa look thick-waisted (which she is not).

And since I'm not feeling up to dissecting each of the "stars" dress-by-dress, here's a group photo. I actually think Jena Malone is the most improved. Abbie Cornish just CANNOT dress to save her life, though.

Courteney Cox calls relationship ‘platonic’ after she’s seen on vacation

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 07:41 AM PDT

What is going on with Courteney Cox? First she was linked with her Cougar Town costar Brian Van Holt and there were pretty convincing rumors that their “friendship” hastened the end of her marriage to David Arquette. (Or the time out that she called so that she could bone Van Holt, whatever you want to call it.)

Now she was just papped on a beach vacation in St. Barts with yet another costar, Josh Hopkins. It’s sketchy, and Courteney looks like she’s working her way through the hot male costars on set. Only Courteney swears that they’re “just friends” and it’s “platonic.” I don’t know, I wouldn’t go on vacation with a single male coworker even if I assumed he didn’t want to get in my pants. It sends the wrong message to both the guy and to anyone who might hear about it. It’s especially reckless if you’re famous, only Courteney thinks we’ll just take her word for it that she went off to the Caribbean with a guy buddy. It looks like they were there with a group of friends, though.

Courteney Cox and 6-year-old daughter Coco were seen Tuesday on the Caribbean sands with Cox’s Cougar Town costar Josh Hopkins.

It’s the latest sighting of Cox, 46, with Hopkins, 40, since her separation last October from husband David Arquette – they were spotted in Hawaii filming a scene in the pool and in the surf, but in those instances they were on location for the show.

This time, the getaway isn’t work-related, but their rep tells PEOPLE romance is playing no role.

“The relationship is strictly platonic and they are away with a group of friends on vacation,” the rep says.

According to a Cougar Town set source, “Courteney and Josh are great friends. There’s definitely nothing going on there.”

[From People]

These are some very clear staged photos that two photo agencies we use have. They’re not typical paparazzi shots, and are meant to show off Courteney’s hot bikini bod and new somewhat subtle boob job. She probably thought that the press would ignore the fact that she was there with Hopkins because they brought other people with them. It looks suspicious, but maybe she truly believed that she wouldn’t get called out for it. Or maybe she’s telling the truth and she’s only sleeping with Van Holt. Why didn’t he come along then?

Josh is the guy who allegedly called Jennifer Aniston a sport f*ck and then complained about his tabloid image. Not a great idea to go on vacation with Courteney Cox then, especially when she’s inviting the paparazzi to document it.

Update: Radar Online has quotes from Josh’s dad, a U.S. Congressman from Kentucky. He confirms that he son “went on some dates with Jennifer Aniston” and says he’s uncertain whether Josh is dating Courteney, but adds “I know he likes her and is very fond of her. He’s said she’s a very nice person.”

Katie Holmes explains the Penis Gummis incident: “I was horrified!”

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 07:22 AM PDT

A few weeks ago, paparazzi got some photos of Suri Cruise holding up a box of Penis Gummis, gummi candies shaped like penises (see photos here). Everybody was all "ZOMG, Suri is just like her daddy!" and "Katie is a horrible mother who gives her child penis-shaped candy, for shame!" Anyway, Katie appears on Elle DeGeneres's show today, and she talks about the dreaded gummi penis incident. Katie actually sounds like a real mom here:

It’s not always easy being Suri’s mommy. Katie Holmes knows that she’s under a microscope as an actress, wife to Tom Cruise — and mother to Suri, who turns 5 this month.

Already famous for her jet-set lifestyle, couture kiddie clothes and her attachment to a pacifier, Suri unwittingly caused yet another stir a few weeks ago when she was photographed — in the arms of her famous mom — clutching a box of X-rated, phallic candy.

Holmes, 32, opened up good-naturedly about the photo fracas during a Thursday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

“Recently, I took [Suri] to get ice cream in New York at this place called Serendipity that we go to all the time. It’s for kids. The clientele is children,” explains the actress, who plays Jackie Kennedy in the new ReelzChannel miniseries The Kennedys. “We go in and we are waiting for a table and she grabs some gummies that are boy part gummies. I was horrified.”

(In pics that stormed the web, Suri checked out a colorful box of “Penis Gummies,” featuring drawings of anatomically correct chewy candies.)

Continued Holmes sheepishly: “P-e-n-i-s gummies. I said, oh wow those aren’t Swedish fish. . . They are called p-e-n-i-s gummies and they look like it.”

Holmes spotted the controversy immediately. “She was holding the box and I was like ‘OK, wow we don’t need that right now.’ Because I thought if I said ‘Put that back,’ and then she’s going to say, ‘What is this?’ And I really didn’t want to have that conversation.”

The Dawson’s Creek alum was upset that Serendipity was even selling such a raunchy treat. “I was like, why are selling these here? This is for kids. And then it was on the cover of a magazine that I’m giving her those gummies!”

“I was like, ‘Oh my god, no.’ We put them back.”

[From Us Weekly]

I get it. Kids pick up everything, and Suri probably only saw the pretty colors or that it was "candy". That being said, I would have loved if Katie had told this story with the punch line, "So I took them from Suri and went to pay for them. Tom loved his gift!" Alas. But seriously, there's enough stuff we can yell at Katie about, the Gummi penis incident just seemed like a cute kid story that could have happened to anyone.

Ed Norton proposed to his girlfriend of six years

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 06:49 AM PDT

There was a blurb yesterday in the NY Post that had cuckoo Courtney Love’s response to the news that Ed Norton, 41, had proposed to his girlfriend of six years. Apparently Norton proposed on a trip to India three weeks ago and this is the first we’ve heard about it. Norton used to date Courtney back in the 90s when they did The People vs. Larry Flint together. I guess they’re still friends because Norton was investing Courtney’s money for her and she was raging about it or something. Well Courtney wants to remind us that she dated the guy, and she was gracious about his engagement. I’m sure her remarks are translated to non-crackhead speak in order to make them fit to print.

Courtney Love was shocked by Edward Norton’s engagement to his longtime girlfriend, film producer Shauna Robertson. Norton proposed to her in India three weeks ago but news hadn’t reached Love — who dated Norton in the late ’90s after they starred in “The People vs. Larry Flynt.” At the Cinema Society screening of “Meek’s Cutoff,” Love told us, “Wow, it’s about time. He’s 41, they’ve been together for six years. He needs to have babies. I wonder what kind of ring he got her? He bought me a ruby.” Love flattered Norton, saying, “He has great character. He’s very political. I see him being a senator one day.”

[From The NY Post]

It’s too bad for Robertson and Norton that the news of their engagement is being released through a comment by one of his cracked-out exes. He also dated Salma Hayek but I guess she was too busy counting her diamonds to go to an event where someone could ask her about it.

The last we heard of Norton he was getting dumped by Marvel in a would-be reprisal of his role as The Hulk in the upcoming Avengers. They issued a bitchy statement about it suggesting that Norton was difficult to work with, and then they replaced him with Mark Ruffalo.

Norton also co-founded a social networking charity website called Crowdrise last year. He may have been in India with his girlfriend doing charity work. Congratulations to Ed and Sauna! Sorry we had to find out the happy news from Courtney Love.

Prince William refuses to wear a wedding ring: is this sketchy?

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 06:45 AM PDT

So I read this report from People Magazine, and my immediate reaction was "Prince William is a balding ball of sketch." I emailed it to CB and she thinks it's weird too, and she pays way more attention to stuff like this. According to People Magazine (quoting palace sources), Prince William isn't going to wear a wedding ring. Like, he doesn't want people to know that he's married? I get that some men don't like jewelry of any kind, and some men simply are bothered by ring-wearing, but isn't it the kind of thing where most of those men simply eat it and wear the ring?

For her, a band of royal gold. For him … a bare ring finger! Prince William is going to eschew the modern-day tradition of men wearing wedding bands.

A spokeswoman at the palace tells PEOPLE, “There is only going to be one ring, in accordance with the couple’s wishes.”

Not to worry, royal watchers: Kate Middleton will have a wedding band, and it will be made from Welsh gold.

A tiny amount of gold mined from the Welsh mountains (not far from where the couple will start their married life on Anglesey,) has been kept in the royal vaults since it was originally presented to William’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.

The Queen has “given a piece of the gold that has been in the family for many years to Prince William as a gift,” a palace source says.

An expert craftsman, unnamed by the palace but likely to be the Crown Jeweler Harry Collins, has been tasked with fashioning the nugget into a piece for Kate.

[From People]

So after nine long WAITY years, our little Waity finally gets the ring, but William won't wear one. I wonder what his reasoning is? Is it something to do with his military service, I wonder? If it is, I might understand not wanting to wear a ring while you're on duty or whatever, but I don't understand putting up a fight about not even having a ring on your wedding day.

Cameron Diaz covers her biscuit in Roland Mouret: cute or cheap?

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 06:26 AM PDT

These are new photos of Cameron Diaz in Las Vegas, presenting a screening of her new film, Bad Teacher. I think this is the best Cameron has looked in a while, isn't it? And it's not even that her outfit is cute (it's not). It's that she doesn't look drunk, she doesn't look orange, she's not clinging to Alex Rodriguez, we're not being overwhelmed by her new (A-Rod-approved) muscles, and her biscuit is covered. The dress is Roland Mouret, and the jacket is Elizabeth and James (the Olsens line). The jacket and belt is what's throwing me off - it makes the whole thing look a bit dated. That being said, Camy's makeup and hair look good!

Camy not only screened Bad Teacher, she was also named Female Star of the Year at this event, CinemaCon. I actually want to see Bad Teacher! I think it looks funny. Here's the red-band trailer (NSFW language):

“Necklace Video” website is peddling views of Lindsay’s crime cam for $2.99

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 06:16 AM PDT

As Radar Online reports, the website NecklaceVideo.com is currently selling views of the Lindsay Lohan “case of the purloined necklace” surveillance video for $2.99 a pop. It seems incredibly tacky and stupid in that it could show a financial and promotional motive for pressing charges against Lindsay, and give her defense team solid evidence to cast doubt on the store’s version of events. We’ve already seen a segment of the video on Entertainment Tonight, after the store sold it to the Associated Press for a reported $40,000. Lindsay announced plans to sue over its release, but it’s unclear whether she actually followed through with that.

Now they’re offering views of the tape online for $2.99. The whole tape is about 45 minutes and it’s unclear to me from this story and from the website whether you have to pay each time for access to different parts of it.

The jewelry store at the center of the Lindsay Lohan theft case is charging online users $2.99 to watch the surveillance video showing the actress allegedly stealing a $2500 necklace, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

The video, which was first obtained by The Associated Press and licensed to Entertainment Tonight, shows four different camera angles and is 42 minutes in length.

On necklacevideo.com, a representative associated with Kamofie & Company is promising to post "new content every day" and are attempting to seduce an audience to "come back tomorrow for more."

"We will help you make-up your mind about what really happened," the website brazenly declares.

It is yet another bizarre development from the Venice Beach, Calif., store which also attempted but failed to attract a book deal.

They even touted a possible movie chronicling the high-profile case.

In an email promoting the website, necklacevideo.com declares that it can provide answers to whom to believe in the case and even whether Lohan, 24, will "someday win the Academy Award for Best Actress."

"NecklaceVideo.com is disclosing everything," it's said, adding: "The entire video surveillance footage, the real nature of the necklace, the supposed dialogue between Lindsay and the salesgirl."

[From Radar Online]

This report on Radar makes it sound like it makes sense - there’s a website where you can buy access to the tape for $2.99. But the NecklaceVideo website is absurd. The other posts beneath the top one make no sense and read like the stuff that spammers put up as an excuse to include links to their websites. It’s confusing, and seems like they picked random filler stories for the rest of the website. Did they hire a non-English speaking person to make it for them and did they just post nonsense? It’s ridiculous. The sad thing is that this could vindicate Linnocent and add some credence to that “they’re just out to get me and hitch their name to my star” defense that she’s uses every single time.

So I have a potential conspiracy theory that Lindsay set up this website to make herself look like an innocent victim. There are certainly plenty of positive comments about her and the content of the site isn’t that negative apart from the video. It’s registered under a P.O. Box and someone named “C.M. Spencer,” who is “a crisis management expert who represents the jewelry store” and has spoken out about their justification for releasing the tape. This is a very dumb move and that website is ridiculous.
