Jennifer Aniston covers Red Mag, jokes about having George Clooney’s babies Posted: 10 Apr 2011 08:20 AM PDT Jennifer Aniston is the latest cover girl for the UK magazine Red - and how. You know, I never thought I'd say this, but Jennifer is much, much prettier in candids than this posed and presumably Photoshopped cover shot. Her nose looks huge, her mouth looks puffy, and the whole thing is just… unfortunate. I also feel like this shot - and the accompanying interview - is dated and budget. Aniston chopped off her hair nearly two months ago, and yet the shot has her with long hair? And dear God if the interview isn't one of the most cloying and sycophantic things I've ever read. The writer refers to her as "The Most Beautiful Everywoman In The World." Ugh. You can read the full thing here (I wouldn't recommend it if you just ate), and here are some of the highlights:
[From Red] Yeah… I know some of read this interview and thought "Oh, she sounds fine" or "Poor Jen, I love her!" But honestly, if I was forced to be friends with her or interact with her for any length of time, I would be homicidal/suicidal. Re: the Clooney stuff… she should have just laughed it off and made a real joke, like "Ha, I'm not kinky enough for old George" or "Yeah, I'm not tranny enough for his tastes." Instead it feels like… Aniston thinks Clooney is all over it and SHE is the one shutting it down. Who thinks that's the real dynamic? Cover courtesy of Red, additional pics by WENN. |
Fergie’s alleged “plastic surgery makeover” cost $30,000: was it worth it? Posted: 10 Apr 2011 07:50 AM PDT A few weeks ago, there were some new photos of Fergie, celebrating her birthday in Las Vegas. It seemed like Fergie had purchased herself a new face for her birthday, although her husband Josh Duhamel claimed that her drastically new look was the result of "new lipstick." Ha! Anyway, these are some photos of Fergie and Josh at a benefit for the Red Cross. Fergie's face is still looking… different. But she looks good, I'm not saying that. I'd even dare to say that Fergie got a appropriate work done - she doesn't look scary and frozen-faced, she just looks "refreshed" and "younger". As for what Fergie may or may not have gotten done, Star Magazine got some plastic surgeons to talk about what they think might have happened. According to one, Fergie has had an estimated $30,000 plastic surgery makeover. NYC plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schwartz (who doesn't treat Fergie) claims that she's had a brow lift, eyelid lift and filler in her cheeks: "Fergie's forehead looks tighter, her jaw line is sharper, she looks fresh-faced and years younger because her skin is so taut and smooth, and it creates a well-rested look." Another plastic surgeon suggests that Fergie has gotten Botox injections in her eyebrows, and thinks she also got a chemical peel. By the way, I don't know who designed Fergie's dress, but it's cute. Paris Hilton was also at this event (I don't care enough to put photos up of her), and she was wearing a ball gown. I think Fergie looks totally appropriate for the event. |
Does anyone care that Kate Middleton isn’t a virgin? Posted: 10 Apr 2011 07:14 AM PDT I'm old enough to remember how out-of-touch the royal family was in the 1980s. Yeah, I was just a kid (a toddler for the early 1980s), but I still have vivid memories of the early days of Prince Charles and Princess Diana's marriage. One specific memory: everybody making a big deal about Diana being a virgin when she married Charles. In this age of promise rings and mainstream evangelicalism, it seems like we've been talking about virginity for a while, but I think for many people in the 1980s, coming out of the free-love free-for-all of the 1960s and 1970s, talking about Diana's virginity was a crusty throwback, impossibly dated. But still, it was discussed, and many "traditional" royalists believed that a royal bride must be a virgin on her wedding day. No mention of the royal grooms, by the way. So why is nobody making a big deal about Kate Middleton's presumably long-gone virginity? That is the focus on some larger discussions in Britain and America. Kate and William lived together at university, and they've been sharing homes, apartments and beds for nine years, on and off. More than that, it's widely believed that neither Kate nor William were virgins when they got together. In this day and age, does it matter?
[From Huffington Post] Personally, I think it makes for a stronger relationship and marriage when you know you are sexually compatible, and I don't have a problem with William and Kate's sexual relationship, nor do I have a problem with Kate *gasp* having previous lovers before William. That being said, I think this HuffPo piece doesn't bring up one of the main reasons why the royal family seems so "stuffy" about these things - they are technically the "defenders of the faith" of the Church of England. While they are not members of the clergy, a member of the royal family "living in sin" and having a premarital sexual relationship is still verboten, technically speaking. Religious slut-shaming! But whatever. My biggest problem is that people tended to expect virginity from the brides, but the male royals were expected to "sow their royal oats." Oh, and here's an interesting tidbit: Kate Middleton invited two of her ex-lovers to the wedding! William invited four of his exes. Sluts. |
Spike Jonze is trying to win back Michelle Williams’ heart Posted: 10 Apr 2011 06:46 AM PDT Back in the day, Michelle Williams and director Spike Jonze were an item. This would have been… circa 2008-09. I think they got together in the summer or 2008, and they had split by the fall of 2009. By some accounts, the relationship was pretty serious, and Michelle allowed Spike to spend time with Matilda, and Michelle and Spike even discussed marriage (he was already divorced from Sofia Coppola). What I always found kind of strange about their relationship is that Michelle never made any kind of reference to this year-long affair publicly. I mean, if she wants to keep her dating life private, God bless, but in interview after interview, she continued to put herself out there like The Widow Ledger, which seemed… odd, considering she was in a serious relationship with another man. Anyway, Michelle and Spike split a year and a half ago and Michelle still never really made a reference to it. I figured it was a amicable split, and hoped they were still friends. The Mail reports this morning that they broke up in 2009 because Spike dumped her, and now he's trying to win her back:
[From The Daily Mail] I really hope this is true, because despite some stories that I’ve heard about Spike, I think he seems like a nice guy, and I think he was probably really good for Michelle. She’s a strange one, though. I doubt that in real life, she’s anything like the persona she’s created in public. Still… I remember when Spike wandered around looking like a dirty hipster. Nowadays he’s looking rather clean and pretty. Let’s hope this story is true! Archive photos of Spike & Michelle courtesy of Bauer-Griffin & Pacific Coast News. Additional photos courtesy of WENN. |
Reese Witherspoon covers the May issue of Vogue (a preview) Posted: 10 Apr 2011 06:13 AM PDT Here is a little preview of Reese Witherspoon's May cover of Vogue. I don't really care for it - I liked her Elle Magazine UK photo shoot much better (although many of you thought she looked like a neckless wonder on Elle UK). Instead of Reese reading as "sultry" - which I think she was aiming for - she looks rather devious and sneaky. But I'll hold off final judgment until I see the full shoot. In other Reese news, she and her new husband finally went on their honeymoon! They're apparently in Belize right now… and they brought Ava and Deacon, making it less of a honeymoon and more a family vacation. I mean… Ryan couldn't watch the kids so that his ex and her new husband could have some alone time?
[From Us Weekly] I really like Reese and I think this marriage will be great for her, and I genuinely think she's going to get pregnant again very soon. BUT - I worry about her. I worry about her career, and I worry that Reese is perhaps shilling a bit too hard for her latest film, Water for Elephants. The People cover, the Hello! cover, the covers of two major fashion magazines, putting off the honeymoon just so she could do some extra promotion… we get it, Reese. You need a hit, and you're selling, selling, selling. What happens if Water for Elephants bombs, though? What's the worst that could happen? Reese's asking price goes down? So she no longer makes $15-20 million, she makes $10 million? Is that so bad, honestly? Vogue preview shot courtesy of The Fashion Spot. Additional pics by WENN. |
