Mila Kunis agrees to go to Marine Corps Ball after video request

Posted: 11 Jul 2011 08:52 AM PDT

Over the weekend, MSNBC had a little bit about this Marine named Scott Moore who is stationed in Afghanistan. Sgt. Moore plans ahead, you see, and he wanted to line up a date for the Marine Corps Ball in November. His ideal date? Mila Kunis! So he got a great idea - make a YouTube video asking Mila to go with him to the Ball, and set up an email account where Mila (or her people) could get in touch with him. Here's the video:

Well, good news. Mila Kunis is awesome! She has accepted Sgt. Moore's invitation after some prodding from Justin Timberlake and a Fox News correspondent.

When FOX411 asked Kunis about the invitation over the weekend, her "Benefits" co-star, Justin Timberlake, assured Moore he was going to make it happen.

"Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? You need to do it for your country," Timberlake asked Kunis excitedly, before sending out a direct message to Moore. "I'm going to work on this, man. This needs to go down."

After questioning her publicist if she knew about the invitation, the clearly flattered 27-year-old actress agreed.

"I'll go, I'll do it for you," she said, turning to Timberlake. "Are you going to come?"

"They don't want me! They want you," Timberlake responded. "You need to do it for your country."

Kunis nodded.

"I'll do it," she confirmed.

So get that limo reserved, Sgt. Moore!

[From Fox News]

I hope she follows through - my guess is that she will, now that she knows about it and has publicly agreed. If she follows through, she will be supremely cool. And if she follows through, something tells me that there will be quite a few servicemen taking to YouTube videos to ask out their favorite crushes.

Jessica Simpson got an ugly orange Birkin for her 31st birthday

Posted: 11 Jul 2011 08:29 AM PDT

I think I've documented my love of Hermes Birkin bags before - I lamented when Sofia Vergara used her Birkin as her gym bag, and then I kind of got over my love Birkins when Kim Kardashian bought one in practically every color and then began to use them nonstop. And now I have another reason to dislike Birkins: Eric Johnson gave Jessica Simpson a Birkin for her 31st birthday yesterday. Can you believe Farty is 31?!? And can you believe how fug this Birkin is? ORANGE?!? Sure, it's "Hermes Orange" (I think that's an official color), but if you're going to get a Birkin, why not blue? Black? White? NOT ORANGE. Is it that Eric just went into Hermes and grabbed the first one he saw?

But the Birkin made Farty happy. She tweeted, "It is only 1pm and i think i have pretty much heard from everyone in my life!! That is a birthday record!! Huge smile on my face! Eric made my birthday!!! I have never been more surprised in my life! Jackie O who? ". Cute. At least she loves it, I suppose. By the way, a new Birkin goes for something like $15,000 (a used one goes for around $10,000). I wonder who really paid for this Birkin?!?

So happy birthday, Farty. May your cake be made of rich chocolate and may your tumbler never be without liquor. Happy 31st!

Why did the Beckhams name their baby girl “Harper Seven”?

Posted: 11 Jul 2011 07:59 AM PDT

As Bedhead reported yesterday, Victoria Beckham gave birth to her long-awaited little girl. The Beckhams also released their baby girl's name: Harper Seven. No Malibu, no Independence, no Lala, no Hollywood Beckham, no Angel Jefferson Beckham. Harper has become a popular girl's name, I guess because of Harper Lee and To Kill a Mockingbird. I've always liked the name too, but I'm slightly disappointed that Posh and Becks didn't give us more to work with. Anyway, People Magazine has an article about "the story behind the name" - it is kind of interesting:

David and Victoria Beckham are spending quiet family time together welcoming their new arrival – and first baby girl – Harper Seven Beckham, and relishing their privacy, a rep for the couple tells PEOPLE.

But the question lingers: How did the parents of three boys – Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 8½, and Cruz, 6½ – ever arrive at the name Harper, let alone Seven?

It may not be as complicated as you think. Harper is an old English name that Victoria has always loved, PEOPLE has learned, and seven is considered a very lucky spiritual number.

In addition, Harper Seven was born Sunday morning in L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center weighing 7 lbs. (and 10 oz.) in the seventh hour in the seventh month – on the seventh day of the week.

As sports fans can’t help but also note, seven was David’s jersey number for Manchester United and the English national team.

Speaking of numbers, the Irish bookmaking firm of Paddy Power has offered odds of 100:1 on Harper’s following in dad's footsteps and going out for the England Women's team. The odds of her becoming a singer in the mode of her former Spice Girl mom are 16:1.

[From People]

Ah, "Seven" makes a lot more sense now that I think about the whole "seventh hour in the seventh month – on the seventh day of the week." What do you want to bet that Victoria originally scheduled her C-section for July 7th, but pushed it back for William and Kate's visit? In the end, though, she didn't even go out to meet Will and Kate (but David did). Also: I didn't know Harper was an English name? I thought it had American origins. Learn something new every day.

Jennifer Lopez declares Will & Kate to be “simply charming”

Posted: 11 Jul 2011 07:26 AM PDT

When I heard that Prince William and Duchess Kate were coming to LA to meet some movie stars at a big gala, I was struck by this thought: "If I was Duchess Kate, what American actors would I want to meet?" I think I would really like to meet Angelina Jolie, of course, and Jon Hamm (and all of the Mad Men people - the show is huge in the UK), maybe Leonardo DiCaprio, and… then I got stuck. There aren't that many "movie stars" left, and there aren't that many people that I would get all hot and bothered to meet.

In the end, Kate and William did get a decent turnout for their BAFTA event on Saturday night, even mingling with some A-listers like Nicole Kidman and Tom Hanks. And then there's Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer came to the event with her mother, Guadalupe, not her husband Marc Anthony. Jennifer wore one of the most revealing and inappropriate dresses of the evening, a cutout Pucci gown which I hated. Jennifer isn't what I would call A-list - she's certainly a diva, and her career has been rejuvenated by American Idol, but she wouldn't have made my top-ten list for "People I'd Like To Meet".

In the end, though, Jennifer did get a lot of face time (and camera time) with Will and Kate, and afterwards Jennifer tweeted, "Good Morning Lovers! Had fun with my Mom! The Duke & [Duchess] were simply charming!" Like Her Royal Highness Jennifer Lopez deigned to meet Kate and William and she was in a position to declare them "utterly charming". Too harsh? Jennifer didn't mean it that way, I know. She was just trying to make sure that we knew she spent time with the Cambridges. Now you know!

What’s going on with Ben Affleck’s hair?

Posted: 11 Jul 2011 06:59 AM PDT

Photo is from 7/10/11

Conspiracy theory: Ben Affleck switched up his toupee for a bushier one. Occam’s razor: Affleck’s hair is growing naturally, nothing to see here. Possible alternate explanation: Affleck got “natural” hair implants/plugs, which can supposedly grow like regular hair over time, and they’re mixing with his regular hair and causing that overgrown bushy hair. So which is it? Does Affleck have a head of perfectly natural hair that’s growing like it should?

I did some forensic analysis of Affleck’s hair, and it’s really hard to say either way. So if he does have plugs, as is widely rumored, it’s not as easy to prove that with older photos as it is with say, Jude Law or Matthew McConaughey. He’s admitted dyeing his hair but hasn’t admitted wearing a hairpiece or anything. (Colin Farrell has claimed Affleck’s hair is real too, or at least that it stays in place when you pull it.)

I think Affleck started wearing a piece around 2002 when he did Sum of All Fears. Check out this interview with him around the time and the first photo below. The top of his hair doesn’t match the bottom at all.

2002:

Then later he may have switched up to some plugs. But however he’s growing this ‘fro, it has to go! He’s so hot when he’s clean shaven, and the dude would definitely look good bald. But not with salt and pepper fuzz on his head. Check out this picture of his bald spot. He’s definitely getting some help up north. The mystery remains how he’s getting such fluffy hair.

2006:

Paz de la Huerta has a new older boyfriend, and she’s going to eat his face

Posted: 11 Jul 2011 06:57 AM PDT

Paz de la Huerta has a boyfriend! Or a john, depending on… well, you know. These photos are fascinating to me, because Paz de la Huerta has spent the past year being photographed with various men (random escort who allowed Paz's boob to fly freely, Quentin Tarantino, and now this dude), but she always strikes me as "single". Is she just a fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants kind of girl when it comes to relationships, or is this older gentleman her new beloved? No one really knows - even The Mail wasn't able to identify him, only referring to him as a "mystery man". I would put him at… 50s? Maybe even 60s. And Paz, as we know, is a glowing and fresh "26 years old".

Actress Paz de la Huerta didn’t seem to care who was watching today as she shared a very public embrace with a mystery man in New York City. The 26-year-old star cosied up to the older man after they dined out in the city’s trendy West Village. As they embraced on the street, the pair seemed oblivious to passers by.

Over lunch, Paz didn’t seem to be able to keep her hands off her bearded companion, at one point, leaning forward and grabbing his hand while he spoke on the phone. The couple looked distinctly different, with the man dressed in a shirt and trousers and clutching a skateboard under his arm. Paz, meanwhile, showed off her slim figure in a tight black mini skirt, lacy black and white top and mustard heel.

The star, who has been previously been spotted out with Jack Nicholson, perhaps has a taste for older men.

[From The Mail]

Wait, she was with Jack Nicholson? Ugh. Damn it, Jack.

Anyway, congrats to Paz for finding her own crusty lover. I hope they will be very happy together. Something tells me that she doesn't even know his name, though. And he'll forget hers very quickly.

Kellan Lutz will agree to make your photos more Kellan Lutz-y

Posted: 11 Jul 2011 06:24 AM PDT

Kellan Lutz is single. Kellan Lutz is on the prowl. Kellan Lutz knows that every lady wants a piece of Kellan Lutz. Kellan Lutz would be happy to oblige, in his Kellan Lutz-y way, because every single non-Kellan Lutz person out there deserves a piece of The Kellan Lutz. But Kellan Lutz frets that Kellan Lutz is not enough Man to satisfy every lady. So in the rare case that Kellan Lutz isn't up for giving a lady a piece of Kellan Lutz, Kellan Lutz will pose for a photo with a non-Kellan Lutz. This is what Kellan Lutz offered to a group of ladies at a restaurant in New York. Kellan Lutz was all, "Hi, I'm Kellan Lutz, you ladies look you could use some Kellan Lutz in your lives." And the ladies were like "OMG, Kellan Lutz, you're so Kellan Lutz-y!" And then tragedy struck:

Kellan Lutz and five friends asked to move their table at CO-OP at The Hotel on Rivington nearer to a gaggle of gorgeous women Wednesday night. The raucous females were drinking champagne and eating oysters when newly single “Twilight” star Lutz leaned in to chat them up.

A spy said that when they asked for a photo, Lutz was happy to oblige — but was stunned to learn the women actually just wanted him to take a photo of their group, but not with him. Lutz’s rep said, “None of this is true.”

[From Page Six]

Kellan Lutz is sad to find out that non-Kellan Lutzs do not want Kellan Lutz in their photos. Kellan Lutz was preparing Kellan Lutz's finest serial killer smile and eye twinkle, because Kellan Lutz KNOWS how to pose for a photo, thank you. But then Kellan Lutz was sad to realize that these drunk ladies didn't even want Kellan Lutz's photo. This makes Kellan Lutz sad. Kellan Lutz called Kellan Lutz's rep and ordered him to deny this terrible Kellan Lutz story. And then Kellan Lutz went home and cried Kellan Lutz-y tears.

Duchess Kate’s last outfit for her North American tour: lovely or budget?

Posted: 11 Jul 2011 06:02 AM PDT

Here are the last (?) photos of Prince William and Duchess Kate in the USA, I think. Yesterday, they went to LA's Skid Row for the Inner City Arts Youth Project, where Will and Kate met lots of kids and worked on their own art projects. I've included Kate's painting of a snail below. It's… um… childlike. Kate wore budget! The rayon skirt is newish, from Whistles, and she paired it with a navy mesh top thing from 2007. The outfit is cute, sure. But Kate wore the same thing all day - I feel like she was phoning it in, style-wise, and if we were a commonwealth, she would have made at least one costume change. Also: it must have been really hot in LA, because this is one of the few times I've seen Kate sweat.

In addition to making a stop at the youth project, Will and Kate also launched the US branch of "The Tusk Trust" - an organization that does work to protect wildlife in Africa, as well as numerous community outreach projects. At was at this launch where Will and Kate met Reese Witherspoon, and Reese got a lot of face time with the Cambridges. Also, at some point yesterday, Will and Kate did an event for Service Nation: Mission Serve, which helps former and current military servicemen and women find employment. And then *poof* William and Kate were gone, zipping out of LA on their British Airways flight. Waity = Keyser Söze. Mark my words.

Octomom to 3rd Rock’s Kristen Johnston: “Grow a baby and get a life”

Posted: 11 Jul 2011 05:25 AM PDT

Here’s a story that gives me some schadenfreude that even the bitches in business class are inconvenienced and annoyed by flying. TMZ reports that Octomom and former 3rd Rock star, Kristen Johnston, were on the same delayed flight together in business class when Kristen told Suleman to get her kids to STFU. As a comeback, Octo told her to stop being childless, sort of. I’m paraphrasing, but you get the point.

Nadya Suleman was flying back from New York City last night and her and the brood took up most of the business class section of the plane. The flight was delayed for more than two hours and Nadya tried to silence the kids — to no avail.

The crying babies annoyed the “3rd Rock from the Sun” star so much, she marched over to Nadya and told her keep it down.

Nadya’s rep tells TMZ Nadya fired back, “How would you like me to keep eight 2-year-olds quiet?” To which Kristen allegedly responded, “Get more help!”

The rep says Nadya shouted back, “Why don’t you grow a baby and get a life!”

Eventually Kristen returned to her seat, but according to Nadya’s rep … Kristen got off the plane and never returned.

We got Nadya when she belatedly landed at LAX, and she had no idea Johnston was a celebrity, telling us, “I guess there’s some people that don’t like kids.”

[From TMZ]

I’m so sure Octo had no idea who Kristen was. That’s why her PR person was so quick to tell TMZ about her encounter with a random non-famous person who told her to shut up her kids.

We all saw what eight of Octo’s kid and their nine year-old sister were like on The Today Show. Can you image how chaotic it must be with 14 kids? (If she had 12 with her she must have left two with her mom or the nanies she claims she doesn’t have.) Isn’t that ripe that the best comeback Octo could come up with was to tell Johnston to grow a baby? It’s as if a woman without kids is less of a person to her.

This really made me wonder what Octo is doing in business class, though. She claims she’s not getting paid for some of her interviews, like her Today show interview was supposedly unpaid, but obviously they’re taking care of all of her expenses and spending big bucks to fly her in business class. At least the people in coach didn’t have to deal with her crap. It’s bad enough when there are one or two screaming babies on a plane, and when their poor moms are struggling and can’t help it. Put eight together with a careless twit and it’s surely maddening.

Miranda Kerr on giving birth: “I actually thought I was going to die”

Posted: 11 Jul 2011 05:09 AM PDT

I’ve made fun of Miranda Kerr in the past for thinking that quartz crystals can somehow pass their energy to water. She’s not the brightest bulb, but she’s very sweet. She really endeared herself to me with two new interviews in her native Australia, with the Daily Telegraph and with Australian In Style. She talks about her natural birth experience, a boyfriend who died when she was a teen, and the fact that she has help with her baby with Orlando Bloom, but doesn’t have a nanny per se. The most widely repeated quote is where she said she felt like she was going to die when she had her son, Flynn, in January. The baby was almost 10 pounds and it sounds like no one knew how big he was going to be until he came out.

On her birth experience
"I've never been through so much pain, but I was totally present the entire time, focusing on my breath and meditating," she says. "I kept thinking, how do women do this? But if other women have done this, I can do it, too. I was determined.

"I actually thought I was going to die at one point and left my body. I felt as if I was looking down on myself – the pain was so intense. Then he came out and we met, and it was the best thing. I think once you go through something like that, nothing else fazes you – it puts everything into perspective." Kerr later revealed to US talk show host Conan O'Brien that she wouldn't let Bloom leave the room while she was in labour, even making him pee in a bottle.

"Orlando was by my side the whole time," she smiles. "I couldn't have done it without him. Just to have his support was a really wonderful experience."

On naming her son after a boyfriend who died as a teen
Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland Bloom was (in part) named after Kerr's first boyfriend, Christopher Middlebrook, who died in a tragic car accident when he was a teenager. In her book Treasure Yourself, she wrote of that time: "Chris' death taught me that the people who touch your life are always with you. It taught me that I have the choice to be grateful for the time I had with him instead of dwelling on losing him."

"Chris and I had been dating for two years," she says today. "After he died, I wrote him a letter that said I hoped to name my first child after him in some way. I told Orlando and he was the one who said he'd be happy to do that. Orlando's a good guy."

On raising Flynn with Orlando’s help
“It’s whoever has their hands free. When I’m not working we don’t have a nanny. Some nights we have a lady who comes in to help out but he [Flynn] is getting better at sleeping now, so not as often. And if I need to get on a plane for one day of work, I pump my milk and put it into the freezer for Orlando.”

[From Daily Telegraph and In Style via Sydney Morning Herald]

At least she’s being honest about what she went through and isn’t minimizing it, like Gisele, who claimed that childbirth didn't hurt “in the slightest.”

I had my son in a birth center without medication, and I’m mentioning this as background and do not consider it a bragging right. It wasn’t particularly brave on my part, because it was a fear of hospitals and doctors that led me to make that choice. The labor itself wasn’t that bad as I did hypnosis ahead of time and had a recorded session playing on a CD. The pushing was a bitch, and I remember it being much harder than I expected. (Maybe since I had dropped out of the Bradley birthing classes before we got to that part.)

Basically everyone’s birth experience is different, it’s a personal choice and I’m mentioning mine because I don’t want people to assume that it’s intolerable or impossible to have a child outside the hospital. It definitely was uncomfortable, and I might opt for meds if I ever have another one. (If there’s some situation where I can get meds and don’t have to be in the damn hospital.) When I got to see my baby though, it was so worth it. It sounds like Miranda feels the same and like she has a very solid relationship with Orly. They’re adorable together and Flynn is just so cute!

On another note, did you see these pictures of Orlando’s ex Kate Bosworth hugging up on him? It’s clear Miranda has nothing to worry about.

Photos below are from The Daily Telegraph, where there are more. She’s gorgeous but I feel like we’ve seen these before. In Style photo via Sydney Morning Herald.
