Jesse James and Kat Von D are planning a summer wedding

Posted: 17 Jun 2011 08:24 AM PDT

Yesterday, in the late afternoon, Life & Style had a great headline - "Jesse James and Kat Von D's wedding is on hold". Their story was based on an unnamed source, plus some random tweets, and built into a story about how Jesse and Kat had put their relationship on "pause". I thought it was a decent story, mainly because I think the overwhelming majority of people think JJ and Kat aren't going to make it, long-term. But still, the denials came, and now Jesse has announced to People Mag that they plan to marry this summer, on the one-year anniversary of when they began dating. Rii-ight.

Have Jesse James and Kat Von D called off their wedding? Not a chance, they both tell PEOPLE.

“That is absolutely not true,” says James, 42, bristling at Internet reports that he’s split from the LA Ink star. “We’re still going strong. Things are completely good with us.”

Adds Von D: “That’s the furthest thing from the truth.”

In fact, the pair, who were engaged in January, are planning a summer wedding on the one-year anniversary of when they started dating, James reveals.

“That day can’t come soon enough!” he says.

The couple regularly commute between Los Angeles, where Von D, 29, shoots her reality show, and James’s home outside of Austin, Texas, where he lives with his kids, Chandler, 16, Jesse Jr., 14, and Sunny, 7.

“Everything is on track,” says James. “I am absolutely more in love today than I was a year ago. She’s the one for me.”

[From People]

Ordinarily, I'm not one of those people desperate for someone else's comeuppance. I think karma usually takes time, and I'm patient. I'm much happier throwing a "we'll see, won't we?" glare, like a bitchy Cassandra, rather than actively wishing for something bad to happen to some d-bag immediately. But I actively want something horrible to happen to Jesse. NOW. Just reading "I am absolutely more in love today than I was a year ago. She’s the one for me" made me say to myself "I hope she cheats on him with twenty different guys, and I hope he becomes impotent for the rest of his life." Like, I want that to happen right now, if possible. He deserves it.

Rumer Willis’s unfortunate ensemble: meh or tragic?

Posted: 17 Jun 2011 07:54 AM PDT

These are photos of Rumer Willis out clubbing two nights ago in LA. I think she was on her way out of or in to Teddy's, a frequent hotspot for the young and the cracked-out. There are several things that disappoint me about these photos, but I should start out by saying that at least this wasn't a formal red carpet. This is not how Rumer presents herself as a professional, or how she presents herself when she knows she's going to be photographed. No, this is how she dresses when she hanging out with friends, getting wasted, being young, etc. I have no problem with her partying - from what I can see, she's not a club-rat, and she does seem to have a close circle of genuine friends rather than enablers. She's not Linnocent in that respect.

But this is how she dresses for a fun night. Booty shorts, a Van Halen shirt and… some kind of slouchy, Ugg-style boots? And her HAIR. She's had those ugly-ass extensions in for too long, and they look so gross! The Rihanna-esque hair color isn't helping either. I know she's young and now is the time for her to experiment with hair colors and styles and clothes… but it just feels like Rumer is absolutely clueless about what works on her.

Emma Roberts gets bitchy about nepotism, which is “obviously not true”

Posted: 17 Jun 2011 07:51 AM PDT

wenn3393888

This week, Kaiser gave us a fresh reminder of just how nasty, rude, and obnoxious Julia Roberts can really be, and it seems that her niece (and daughter of Eric Roberts) is well on the path to claiming that portion of the family legacy. Generally speaking, we already know that Emma is both entitled and smug and 20 going on 12, but now she takes issue with people (primarily those nefarious bloggers) who dare to insinuate that her family name has helped her get movie roles. You see, this notion is simply “so ridiculous” and “obviously not true” even though Emma seems to have forgotten that her role in Valentine’s Day most definitely came as a result of Aunt Julia’s involvement.

Outside of that bit role in a box-office slam dunk, Emma’s effort to prove some cred of her own has faltered miserably. Sure, she’s a serviceble enough little puppet in roles like Nancy Drew and Hotel for Dogs, but she doesn’t really shine and comes off as very easily replaceable onscreen. Last year, It’s Kind of a Funny Story failed to recoup its budget even though Emma walked around in her bra and panties throughout the movie. (Don’t forget that she still insists that actresses who go topless are “tasteless”. Emma’s also got a movie coming out this weekend, The Art of Getting By (she plays a popular high school girl that decides to date a misfit), which is currently sitting at 21% on Rotten Tomatoes. Still, let’s not even mention the possibility that Aunt Julia has anything at all to do with Emma Roberts getting either of these roles as a romantic leading lady because she spoke to Popeater and proved us all wrong:

Did you go to school?
I went to school till seventh grade and then I was home schooled through high school.

Was it strange to play a high school student?
I mean, no because high school is such a big part of American culture, it’s so prevalent in music and TV and movies, I think I get the gist!

In the beginning did everyone accuse you of nepotism because of your dad and aunt?
A lot of people think that and they talk about nepotism which I think is so ridiculous considering it’s obviously not true, because I’ve auditioned for so many things and never gotten the part. Also it’s like, you know, maybe someone can get you one part but they can’t really get you ten parts.

Would you want to work with her?
Yes I would love to. I think it would be really fun for us.

You know you’ll be accused of nepotism if it happens.
Oh well, if someone wants to say that to my face. If someone blogs about it I’ll be annoyed. I think it’s so funny people will blog stuff but they won’t say it to your face. I would actually have more respect for them if they said it to my face, then I would probably not say anything back.

Are you immune to nasty comments online or do you still get upset?
I don’t read them anymore but obviously you know that they’re there. For me I can’t let it bother me because for me anyone hiding behind a computer is kind of irrelevant.

Or a loser.
Uh uh. Also I can handle it, but there are some people with the whole bullying thing can’t handle it and do horrible things to themselves.

How come there are no photos of you tripping outside a nightclub?
I love going to Europe because you’re allowed to go out. I’m not trying to go out to be a mess but I love to go dancing and in Europe I’m old enough to be allowed to go out dancing with my friends. I love London, it’s my favorite place.

[From Popeater]

Okay, Emma’s clearly on the defensive (and in denial) here about the fact that a famous name might not get you everywhere in Hollywood (see Angus Sutherland), but it will get your foot in the door. This is particularly the case when talent is not a huge factor, which is the case where Emma is concerned. Seriously, in a Hollywood where even Rumer Willis can get consistent work, nobody can claim that nepotism doesn’t exist. Rumer isn’t an awful actress, but she isn’t any good either, but standards are really low for those with a family name. One really has to be a bad as poor Angus to lose that initial golden foothold. Of course, I generally feel a slight pang of guilt for giving Emma some crap here because it’s not like she’s headed the way of the Crackhead Lohan in her early twenties. Still, the girl needs to appreciate where she came from and learn a little humility. Hopefully, that’ll come with age.

Incidentally, Emma also claims in the Popeater interview to wear heels “24/7,” but I guess that doesn’t include the below photograph, which was taken less than a month ago. Don’t judge!

Leonardo DiCaprio “lavishes” Blake Lively with $70,000 worth of “gifts”

Posted: 17 Jun 2011 07:22 AM PDT

wenn3398065

This story is one of the funniest things I've read all week. I got the giggles just transcribing it. It comes from In Touch Weekly, so you know the BS is lacquered on, but dear God, I hope it's true. According to their source (Blake Lively's publicist), Blake Lively "has it all" - she has a thriving, glamorous career, she's absolute perfection, and she landed the hottest guy. Once again, this is all according to a "source". To make matters even more fabulous for Blake, her boyfriend buys her "gifts". Because nothing says "true love" when your notorious-womanizer boyfriend treats you like a "professional". It’s like Leo doesn’t know how to just BE in a relationship with a woman he doesn’t have to buy “gifts” for.

Some girls have all the luck! Blake Lively is gorgeous, her career is on fire and she's dating one of Hollywood's hottest bachelors, Leonardo DiCaprio. On top of all that good fortune, Blake was recently lavished with $70,000 worth of gifts from her new boyfriend during their whirlwind Italian vacation.

"He bought her anything she wanted," says a friend. From jewelry and perfume to shoes and handbags, Leo went all out as the duo traveled to Venice, Milan and beyond.

"Leo actually loves to shop and get gifts for family and friends," says the insider.

But wait, it gets even more nauseating: "He later surprised her with other gifts as well," reveals the pal.

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

I mock because I'm jealous. I would love $70,000 worth of gifts from Leonardo, but unfortunately I don't do the kind of stuff Blake does, so I'll probably never get a "Thanks for that thing you did with your tongue in that place" ostrich satchel. I will never get a "I really appreciated that position you let me try, I'm sorry you busted something" brooch. As I’ve said before, I admire Blake’s hustle, and I think it speaks volumes about her and what she’s got going on (beyond the sex stuff) that Leo isn’t behaving as though she’s a one-night-stand. He actually seems besotted, and I’m sure he’s buying her “gifts” because he actually likes her, and this relationship seems to be working for the time being. How long will it work? Eh. I’d give it another three to six months.

It does make me wonder - does Leo even know how to be in a relationship where he's not "showering" his lady with "gifts"? No, I won't go there. I wonder which “other gifts” Leo gave her later…?

Angelina Jolie, “Goodness Angel of the World”, makes UNHCR trip to Turkey

Posted: 17 Jun 2011 07:13 AM PDT

wenn192496

Angelina Jolie is in Turkey today on UNHCR business. She's on the Turkey-Syria border, where she's meeting with some of the thousands of Syrian refugees now living in refugee camps within Turkey. The refugee exodus from Syria has increased over the past months as the Syrian government cracks down on anti-government protests. According to the AP, Jolie is due at a camp in the Turkish province of Hatay, and Turkish authorities were hanging a banner to welcome her. The banner reads - no joke, I swear - “Goodness Angel of the World, Welcome.” Seriously. Here's more:

Actress Angelina Jolie, a longtime goodwill ambassador for the U.N. refugee agency, arrived in southern Turkey on Friday to visit Syrian refugees, a high-profile trip focusing attention on misery faced by ordinary citizens who have escaped violence in turbulent Syria.

Jolie, who is scheduled to visit the Altinozu refugee camp, arrived at the airport in Hatay and was greeted by officials, according to the state-run Anatolian Agency.

Hatay provincial officials had vans for the trip to Altinozu, and “toys unloaded from the plane were loaded to one of the vans in her convoy,” the agency reported.

More than 9,600 Syrian men, women, and children have fled their country for Turkey to escape violence, including a military offensive in the Jisr al-Shugur area.

Refugees at Altinozu are housed in warehouses at an old tobacco factory, and they staged a demonstration at the camp in solidarity with the many anti-government demonstrations occurring across the border in Syria.

They held up signs that said “Our military is killing its own people, please make it stop,” “U.N., help us please” and people chanted “stop killing children” and other anti-regime slogans.

[From CNN]

Angelina likely scheduled this trip to draw extra attention because of World Refugee Day, which is Monday. I'm still hoping she gives a major interview for the occasion, and I saw on CNN this morning that they have a reporter on the trip too, so maybe CNN will get the interview. Here are some raw videos (from Turkish television) of Jolie's arrival in-country:

Are Mary-Kate Olsen and Kanye West hooking up?

Posted: 17 Jun 2011 06:57 AM PDT

met ball 020511
I could have sworn that we just heard that Mary-Kate Olsen was dating Justin “understand my scenario” Timberlake, but that was her twin, Ashley. Mary-Kate is the weirder (that term is relative) one and she was last with a hipster artiste type, Nate Lowman, but they broke up last year. We haven’t heard much about Mary-Kate’s dating life since. (Although she was linked to the guy that basically every NY-based actress/model rebounds with for a hot second, Josh Hartnett.)

Anyway The Enquirer has a story this week claiming that “friends” are telling Mary-Kate to “stay away” from player Kanye West. They don’t outright say that Kanye and Mary-Kate are together, just that it looks suspicious since Mary-Kate was hanging all over Kanye at his birthday party. He would be bad news for her, obviously, since he’s bad news for just about any woman who would deign to go near his diamond teeth. Can you imagine what gets caught in those things? Those are his real teeth and are not a grill.

Mary-Kate Olsen’s sizzling new friendship with Kanye West has friends fearing she’ll slip into a dangerous lifestyle.

The 25 year-old former “Full House” star was spotted with the rapper during his 34th birthday bash at New York’s SubMercer nightclub on June 8.

“Mary-Kate was giggling in a dark corner as they sat close,” revealed an eyewitness. “She looked like she was really into him.”

The pair danced and had a great time, but a close friend warns that the actress is playing with fire.

“It wasn’t that long ago that Mary-Kate was partying hard and falling down at clubs in Hollywood and New York,” said the friend.

“I’m sure her family and friends - especially her twin sister Ashley - have already expressed their concern. But Mary-Kate doesn’t like to listen to anyone’s advice, so she’ll probably keep her friendship with Kanye, and that means the nights of partying will continue. I’m worried about her…”

Now pals fear Mary-Kate may feel compelled to go “toe to toe in partying with Kanye to get a leg up no the female competition,” says her close friend.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, June 27, 2011]

I can’t believe the Olsen Twins are just 25 years old. Their Boca style ages them considerably.

So this is ultimately a non-story, even by the Enquirer’s standards. Mary-Kate was up close and dancing with Kanye, but that doesn’t mean he’s cheating on his Victoria Secret Model girlfriend, Chanel Iman, or that Mary-Kate is even interested. It’s just all about Mary-Kate potentially partying too much again after her 2004 rehab stint.

I would like to see her dating again, and someone who is her speed. Who should she hook up with? Josh Harnett is still single.

This is MK at the Costume institute gala in May. Isn’t she lovely?

Gerard Butler looks exceedingly sexy & tabloids still have him with Jessica Biel

Posted: 17 Jun 2011 06:40 AM PDT

fp_7474062_butlergerard_cecconis_excl_fp7_08_21

These are some new photos of Gerard Butler, looking good enough to eat. I get it, though - I mean, I understand why so many of you aren't in to it. He's a man-slut and he's rather unapologetic about not seeing the need for meaningful relationships. I understand why you think he's gross. Just know that I'm very happy with how gross he is. And he's been so much grosser in the past. Nowadays, he's keeping the weight off, growing out his hair, wearing better clothes and generally bringing the hot Scottish dong fantasies. Sigh… I love him. I would have hit it (hard) when he was mooby, but now that he's all slim and hot… oooh… I just need to stop.

Anyway, this week's tabloids are currently on his fauxmance with Jessica Biel. It's like that Ashley Greene thing never happened - which is his pattern. He gets to rub the ass and crook his little finger at various "extra" ladies while his main fauxmance rages on in the tabloid world. This is exactly how he played it with Jennifer Aniston too. It's his thing. Sidnenote: E! News got a quote from him about his love life a few nights ago. He was asked how his love life was going, and he growled, “It’s terrible.” SWOON. So here are the highlights from two Biel-Butler stories:

The Enquirer says that Jessica Biel is keeping it casual, but that she liked Gerard because he's a "bad boy" who doesn't care about his appearance, he just "seems to roll out of bed and seize the day…he's a bit coarse and rumpled around the edges, and that's like a breath of fresh air to Jessica after Justin." What was supposed to be simply an on-set fling turned into something more and Biel "surprised her friends when she continues the flirty relationship with Gerard after the movie wrapped." Biel knows Gerard is a player but she likes him because "he put a smile on her face again… he treats Jessica like she is the only woman in the world when they're together - and that's enough for her right now."

Star Magazine claims that Jessica is just romancing Gerard to get back at Justin Timberlake. Apparently, Jessica and JT were at a friend's baby shower and "they spent a lot of time talking - it was obvious that they still have feelings for each other, especially Jessica." Days later, Jessica was spotted on a motorcycle ride with Gerard because "Jessica would never get into a real relationship with a playboy like Gerard. But I think she figured that seeing her with a guy like him would make Justin jealous." The Gerard stuff has made JT have a change of heart: "He's suddenly telling friends that he could see them getting back together… but Jessica is giving Justin time to figure things out."

Yeah… uh, it sounds like Biel got Butler'd. He slept with her and moved on. As is his pattern. And now Jessica is trying to play it like he’s pursuing her and she just wants to have fun.

Kirstie Alley thinks she has a 22-inch waist, just like Megan Fox

Posted: 17 Jun 2011 06:36 AM PDT

wenn3398353

At some point, I just gave up on trying to understand, interpret or excuse Kirstie Alley's delusions. Bitch is crazy: I give up. Let go and let Xenu. Previously, KA has claimed that she went from a 12, to an 8, and now to a "stretchy size" 4 or 6, post-DWTS. She also claimed she lost 38 inches - just by going down from a 12 to a 6. So this latest interview with Kristie barely got a "Seriously, you need to be institutionalized" raised brow from me. Kristie sat down with Life & Style, and with a complete straight face, claimed that she has the same waist size as Megan Fox - 22 inches.

After losing 60 pounds on Dancing With the Stars, Kirstie Alley is very close to accomplishing another goal - slipping into a sexy Ports 1961 dress. “My goal dress has a waist that’s 22 inches,” she shares with Life & Style. “I tried it on, and I can almost zip it up.” She plans to wear the dress on her Italian vacation in a few weeks. “I’ll be my target size by then,” she exclaims. That means the 60-year-old can soon start sharing clothes with sexy Megan Fox!

“I do have a 22-inch waist,” confesses the 25-year-old. Although the Jennifer’s Body star jokes that she has to starve herself to maintain her trim physique, the truth is that it takes a lot of hard work to stay that slim. “I did a lot of Pilates — an immense amount of Pilates,” Megan reveals. Kirstie is just as determined to keep the weight off. “I’ve been dancing almost every day since the show ended,” she confides. “I like all the Latin dancing. It’s the best exercise and the best cardio.”

[From Life & Style]

I'm really starting to worry… about Kristie's poor assistants and stylists who have to run around, jury-rigging tape measures and sewing three pairs of Spanx together and doing weird stuff with magnets for Kristie's scales. It must be exhausting. I guess I should give Kirstie some credit - at least she didn't actually say she was the same size as Megan Fox. Life & Style just interpreted it that way.

These are all photos of Kirstie from the past week. Just to give you an idea of her 22-inch waist. And yes, she’s gaining weight. Now she probably has a twenty-THREE inch waist.

Christina Aguilera is annoying the other judges on The Voice by acting the diva

Posted: 17 Jun 2011 06:35 AM PDT

62141pcn_voice21
Here’s a story in the NY Post that sounds very likely to be true, given all we’ve heard from Christina Aguilera to date. Apparently Aguilera is behaving like a drunken diva on the set of The Voice, and is getting into bickering fights with Adam Levine on camera while refusing to talk to any of her fellow judges when the cameras aren’t on. What’s more is that she rolls with a huge entourage, gets paid about triple an episode more than the other judges, and is late constantly. Again, this is typical behavior from XTina the narcissist who is never personally responsible for anything she does, has an excuse for everything, and blames her every mistake on other people paying attention to her. She’s going to lift herself up from that background of domestic abuse she brings up in every single interview and the horrible nasty press that drags her down. We just need to let her be Christina and join all the other sycophants and enablers that surround her like an overpaid bubble of yes men. Why can’t we just understand that no one ever says “no” to her?

Tensions are bubbling backstage on NBC’s hit “The Voice” between Christina Aguilera and rival judge Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine.

Sources tell Page Six fellow judges Levine and Blake Shelton have formed an alliance against Aguilera, whose much bigger paycheck, attention-stealing diva stunts and doting makeup team have rubbed the guys the wrong way.

Low-key Levine can’t grasp why Aguilera, who seems to get on a little better with Cee Lo Green, is being paid $225,000 per episode, in comparison to their $75,000 rate, and has a huge entourage, including two hair and makeup people, a producer and an assistant.

“They are all so annoyed by her,” a source told us. “Every time she walks away with her entourage, they talk about her behind her back. She holds people up and never apologizes.”

While Aguilera is the most vocal on the show, sources say she won’t speak to the other judges during commercial breaks.

“When the cameras are rolling, she literally won’t shut up,” an insider told us. “It is all about her.”

The production team is also playing into the rift — Aguilera’s supporters wear “Team Christina” T-shirts on the Studio City set.

Despite the differences, another source said the judges appeared to be getting along after the show Tuesday night at a bash thrown by Shelton and Miranda Lambert, at which Aguilera was still wearing her “Team Christina” shirt.

We hear that despite the disagreements, Aguilera and Levine are working together and recently recorded a track that will be released Tuesday.

[From The NY Post]

As many of you mentioned in our last story on XTina’s Voice gig, she’s revealing what a petty person she is with every episode basically. I’ve only seen a few episodes of The Voice, and she’s come across as superficial and self centered, and she often picks fights with Adam. She isn’t terrible, though, probably because no one is calling her on her sh*t. She’s thinks the star, but right now she’s just a (very talented) singer whose last CD tanked, whose tour got canceled, and who is hanging on to her new gig on a competition reality show by the skin of her teeth. Do you think she’s going to get hired for more jobs, or even hold on to this one, if that’s the way she treats her coworkers?

Did Adele cancel her tour because someone told her to lose weight?

Posted: 17 Jun 2011 06:16 AM PDT

wenn9191983

I have no idea why this week seems like The Week of Weight Issues And The People Who Take Issue With Weight. There was Gwyneth Paltrow, being rude to her chubby peasant "friend," then there was Julia Roberts allegedly being a nasty, vile bitch to her overweight half-sister. And now we have a story about a non-celebrity being a nasty piece of work to an overweight celebrity. That celebrity is my dear love, Adele. I want to be Adele's girlfriend (interpret that however you want), I want her to sing to me as I go to sleep, and most of all, I want Adele to find some kind of happiness and contentment. Because I worry about her - Adele's a good girl, but she's neurotic and hyper-self-aware, and little things can send her into a tailspin (God, that sounds familiar). Anyway, Star reports this week that Adele didn't really cancel her North American tour because of laryngitis, which was the excuse given a few weeks ago. Star claims that Adele really canceled her tour because some American music executive d-bag told her she should lose weight. SHUT YOUR DOUCHE MOUTH!

Officially, it was laryngitis that forced Adele to cancel her recent North American tour. But Star has learned exclusively that it's not the British singer's throat that's bruised - it's her confidence!

"Shortly after she landed in LA in early May, an executive for her label told her she needs to lose weight," a source tells Star. "And that really devastated her."

Although a very talented singer, Adele, 23, suffers from extreme panic attacks. And performing in front of increasingly larger crowds has made the condition worse. She's told friends she's gotten so nervous on stage, her throat would literally close up.

"The pressure on Adele… has been immense," says the source. "She was sitting in her hotel room in Santa Monica on her own, crying."

The added pressure placed on her because of her weight has only made her more anxious and uncomfortable.

"Adele sees herself as just a normal girl from London, and she felt bullied and like a fish out of water in LA. She just wanted to go home," the source tells Star.

During her last American tour, "she was drinking a lot with her crew… she got very homesick and she canceled the tour because she wanted to go home to England to see her boyfriend at the time."

Before she set out for the States this time around, says the source, she started drinking heavily because she was dreading the trip so much.

According to the source, though, Adele is allergic to big-time fame: "Adele is not at all interested in the commercial, moneymaking side of the business."

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Adele is not Katy Perry. Adele is not Rihanna. Adele is not Britney. Adele is not Cheryl Cole. Adele is not Ke$ha. Adele is not Madonna. Adele is not Miley Cyrus. Adele is not Nicole Scherzinger. Adele is not even Beyonce. With Adele, there is literally NO need to try to package her or "fix" her or market her as some kind of sexed-up doll/pop product. She has a magnificent voice, and she's a gifted songwriter who writes for herself. You can just hand out her CDs and people will just understand it. People will go, "Oh, REAL music. So pretty!"

A few weeks ago, CB and I were talking about Adele, and I compared her to the epically talented female singer-songwriters of the 1960s and 1970s, like Carole King and Carly Simon. I stand by that - when you have that much talent, it really doesn't matter what you look like. The "product" you're selling is actually the music, not the artist.

But besides all of that, I think Adele is really beautiful. She looks like she loves food and wine, and I bet she's a great date. I wish I could date her. But I'll settle for Prince Harry dating her.

Should I put it up again? Adele singing "Someone Like You" at the BRIT Awards a few months ago:
