Hot Guy Comic-Con: Dork Dong, Nerd Dong and Beyond

Hot Guy Comic-Con! Wouldn't it be funny if I just found lots of photos of all of the fan/nerd-attendees dressed as Hobbits and such, and just put those photos up? Ha! You're in luck, though, because it seems like there was some pretty good dongage (we must make that a word) in San Diego over the past few days. Let's start with Daniel Craig at last night's Comic-Con premiere of Cowboys & Aliens, wearing a good suit, no tie and a pocket-kerchief. He looks damn good to me. He also looks… different. More content, I think. Maybe it's his marriage to Rachel Weisz, but Daniel seems more accessible, and like he's enjoying himself more.

Here's Henry Cavill, who we always get HGF requests for. It's not that I don't acknowledge that he's good looking - he is. He's just sort of bland, in my opinion. Vanilla.

Sam Rockwell at the C&A premiere last night - I would hit it. And then some. I would marry it and its babies. I love Sam Rockwell so much.

Justin Chatwin. We've gotten requests for him before, I think. He's totally cute. Boyish, not my type, but adorable.

For Bedhead: Walter Goggins at the Cowboys & Aliens premiere. You might also know him from Justified, but he looks totally at home at a nerd-fest. GET IT, BEDHEAD!

Harrison Ford at the C&A premiere - and no, he didn't take off those stupid sunglasses at all. Every. Damn. Photo. Calista looks cute in her little dress, though.

Here's Ian Somerhalder, blowing you a kiss while wearing a dumb hat. He's very pretty, though. Wouldn't you be worried that he was prettier than you?

Stephen Moyer, with a hint of Skarsgard. I've always found Moyer's personality sexier than Alex's.

And last but not least, COLIN FARRELL. This Irish boy… I know he would get me pregnant and dump me, but… I would totally be into it.

Comic-Con Fashion: Jessica Biel, Charlize, K-Stew, fug shorts & the over-dressers

I was going to do some individual posts about Comic-Con and all of the odd fashion choices and cute boys that were swirling around, but I decided to just split this junk up into two posts - Fashion and Cute Boys (better knows as Hot Guy Comic-Con, which I'll do in a moment). Last night was the Comic-Con premiere of Cowboys & Aliens, and Olivia Wilde chose this… oddly funereal black lace Dolce & Gabbana gown. I don't understand putting on this kind of heavy, lacy, black mourning garb for a summer premiere at Comic-Con. I don't understand the super-heavy makeup choice either - while I don't care for Olivia in general, I think she's much prettier with more natural makeup (and minus the bangs trauma, so that's a plus).

fp_7640940_rij_cowboys_aliens_set2_16_51

Next up: Ginnifer Goodwin in a radioactive-yellow dress by Roksanda Ilincic. Um. I think Ginnifer is cute as a button, but this dress is so bright, and yellow isn't necessarily her color. But I kind of like that she went so bold.

Freida Pinto at the press conference for The Immortals, designer unknown. Cute and appropriate for a photo call.

Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale promoting the Total Recall remake. Both look pretty happy to be amongst the nerds, but I think Biel is a little "too happy". I've never really noticed before how they could be sisters. As for the fashion - Kate is wearing Tibi, and Biel wore this odd, unflattering Christina Cota belly shirt and Aldo shorts. What is this, 1994?

But my new favorite photos are these, from the Snow White press conference/photo call. Both Kristen Stewart (Lip-biting Snow White) and Charlize Theron (haughty Evil Queen) look fine and appropriate. Both my body-language expertise (non-existent) says that Charlize and K-Stew kind of hate each other. Well, Charlize just looks like "This lip-biting bitch." K-Stew looks more like "Wha?"

Rhys Ifans arrested at Comic-Con after shoving a woman & bashing America

Posted: 24 Jul 2011 06:32 AM PDT

fp_4533072_ang_greenberg_08_09

Many think that alcohol not only loosens tongues, but acts like some kind of truth serum. "In vino veritas" and all of that. Personally, I found that different alcoholic beverages make me feel different things. Tequila always makes me a happy, giddy drunk. Whiskey makes me amorous. Vodka makes me kind of depressed. Gin makes me really, really sick. I've never really found a drink that makes me racist or xenophobic. Well… I might have talked trash to some English guys about the UK, but I ended up making out with all of them, so it doesn't count, right?

So what does it say about Rhys Ifans when he gets hammered at Comic-Con (in San Diego, California, FYI) and starts bad-mouthing America? Does Rhys hate America? Or was it just the liquor? More importantly than the America-bashing, what does it say about Rhys that he shoved and acted aggressive and belligerent towards a female security guard? Woman-hater? Violent misogynist? Or was it, once again, just the alcohol?

“The Amazing Spider-Man” villain Rhys Ifans was arrested and cited for misdemeanor battery for shoving a female security guard before Friday night’s Comic-Con panel for the film, police tell TheWrap.

Ifans, who smelled of alcohol, became irate when a member of his entourage was unable to enter the hall for lack of proper credentialing, police said. They said he shoved the guard in order to pass through, and was allowed to participate in the panel, but the guard subsequently made a citizen’s arrest.

A spokesman for Sony said that Ifans “deeply regrets the incident.”

“He was aggressive and belligerent,” Lt. Andra Brown said of the Welsh actor. “He was… berating everyone from the security staff to the United States of America.”

“He was cited and released, which is a non-custodial misdemeanor arrest,” added Brown, who said that the San Diego City Attorney will now determine whether to pursue charges. Ifans could be required to pay a fine, or could contest the case before a judge.

“But, according to him, the U.S. sucks and he doesn’t want to come back,” Brown said.

An individual with knowledge of the incident said security was very “tight and aggressive backstage.” The person said Ifans stepped outside to smoke a cigarette, and when he tried to get back in security tried to stop him and his entourage, which escalated into an argument.

Ifans also marked his 44th birthday Friday, according to the birthdate on his passport provided by police.

In Sony’s “Spider-Man” reboot, due next summer, Ifans plays the villainous Lizard, a scientist who takes on reptilian features after looking for a way to grow back his missing arm.

“Rhys Ifans was detained by Comic-Con security after a brief incident backstage prior to and immediately following the ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ panel,’” a spokesman for Sony said in a statement. “Police were notified and a citation was issued to Mr. Ifans, who deeply regrets this incident.”

Ifans’ agent did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ifans joined the “Spider-Man” panel late, after a sneak preview introducing his character. He spoke little, and co-stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone and director Marc Webb fielded most of the questions.

Here is a statement to TheWrap from Lt. Brown:

“Rhys Ifans (the Lizard in the new “Spider-Man” movie) was placed under citizen’s arrest for battery on a security guard. A member of his entourage did not have proper credentials for the entrance he was at. He was abusive, belligerent, and aggressive, and shoved a female security guard aside to shove his way through. After the panel, he was cited and released. He was verbally abusive to all around…security, the PD and the USA. After receiving his citation he left the venue.”

[From The Wrap]

On one side, I feel for Lt. Brown, just because I can totally imagine how much it sucks for an adult woman trying to act as a security guard in a sea of kids and nerds. I also think that there might be a missing part to this story, a part where Rhys pulled the "Don't you know who I am?" card and Lt. Brown didn't know, nor did care, and that is what made this incident worse: wounded celebrity pride on Rhys's part. All of that being said, DUDE, get a grip. You're at Comic-Con! Stop shoving women and acting like a d-bag.

Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux are house-hunting together in Beverly Hills

Posted: 24 Jul 2011 05:59 AM PDT

fp_7630810_big_aniston_jennifer_05_12

Several weeks ago, when everyone was conspiracy-theorizing the Jennifer Aniston-Justin Theroux relationship, OK! Magazine had an interesting little story. They claimed that when Justin dumped his live-in girlfriend of 14 years, Heidi Bivens, that Heidi was the one to move out of their shared NYC apartment and finding a new place. I assumed this was probably true, but I also suspected that the whole "where is he living?" thing wasn't really important, given that Aniston had bought herself a beautiful, luxurious piece of real estate in New York just a short time before she and Justin went public. My thought was that Justin might have his old apartment, that he used to share with Heidi, but that Aniston was making her new NYC pad into a love nest for she and Justin. Now both People Magazine and Us Weekly are reporting the same thing - Jennifer and Justin are house-hunting for their Los Angeles love nest. Bicoastal homewreckers!

Things are getting pretty serious between Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux.

According to an insider, the 42-year-old actress is “house hunting and hoping to find something in the next few weeks. She has looked at places to buy as well as places to rent in the Beverly Hills area.”

Aniston, who has dated anyone seriously since John Mayer, is planning to live with new beau Theroux, 39. “The relationship is going extremely well and this is the next step to something they are hoping will be permanent,” the insider tells Us Weekly.

The Horrible Bosses actress recently purchased a one-bedroom penthouse in New York City’s West Village; the pad’s previous owner was star hairstylist Sally Hershberger. An insider confirmed to Us in May that Aniston spent a reported $8 million to purchase both Hershberger’s 18th floor apartment and an additional 17th floor one-bedroom in the stone Art Deco building, constructed in 1931. She plans to combine both units for a mega-duplex with 2,700 square feet of interior space and 900 square feet of outdoor space.

[From Us Weekly]

People Magazine's piece is nearly identical, only their source says that Jen and Justy “are looking for a new house to move into together." Pity she sold her Ron Burgundy shag-pad! God knows what Justin's style is, though. I don't see him with comfortable couches and chintz - although after all of Jennifer's bitching about Brad Pitt's love of ultra-modern interior design, her own interior design style wasn't really girly, chintzy or super-comfortable-looking either. Jen just needs to bite the bullet and shell out serious cash for that Malibu beach house she's always wanted. I could see them in a beach house.

As for the seeming speed with which they are already shacking up and buying real estate together (although my guess is that Aniston’s paying) - remember, they only officially “got together” in May. Is this too soon? Or should we take into account that they’ve been together since last year?

By the way, what should their couple name be? Theroniston? Anistheroux? Jenstin? Justiffer? That gave me a headache.

Blake Lively & Leonardo DiCaprio never broke up, they were “spotted” together

Posted: 24 Jul 2011 05:58 AM PDT

fp_7578453_barm_bafta_68_78

I'm not going to go off on some kind of screed about how you should never trust random tabloids. Yes, it seemed like an utterly random (and budget) British tabloid (Now Magazine) got way too much attention when they claimed last week that Leonardo DiCaprio had dumped Blake Lively because his mommy thought Blake was full of herself. From my perspective, Now Mag was just doing what they always do: generally pulling stuff out of their collective asses. It just got blown up to legit celebrity gossip, I think, because so many people are interested in the Leo-Blake pairing, and many are rooting for Blake in particular to botch it. Maybe because she's so young. Maybe because her hustle is so good. Maybe because she seems more "ambitious" than "talented" and that turns people off. I don't know. I kind of like Blake and Leo together, although, realistically, I do think she'll get dumped at some point. But not today! Or any day soon:

Their love knows no distance! Though Blake Lively recently returned to New York City to film scenes for Gossip Girl’s fifth season, the 23-year-old actress met up with new beau Leonardo DiCaprio in Santa Barbara, Calif. Wednesday.

The lovey-dovey twosome were spotted shopping for Carrera X-cede shades at the Solstice Sunglass Boutique. Known for her impeccable style, Lively helped DiCaprio, 35, find the perfect pair of sunglasses.

The coupled talked quietly as they browsed the store, never letting go of one another.

“They seemed very much in love,” a store rep tells Us Weekly. “They were in the store for about 10 minutes before a crowd of fans noticed them and they rushed out.”

Since they began dating in May, the couple has been spotted everywhere from Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. to European hotspots like Monte Carlo, Venice, Italy and Saint-Paul de Vence, France.

[From Us Weekly]

There's no doubt in my mind that Blake and her team is behind this "sighting" and my takeaway is that Blake's publicist is as talented and hard-working as Jennifer Aniston's. I thought these random reports and "sightings" of Blake and Leo were over because he liked things more private, but I guess that all bets are off with this one.

Anyway, they're still together, huzzah! Blake wins again! Mall Girls Forever! I seriously have my fingers crossed that they make it through the year and beyond. I want Blake to be Leo's Oscar date. I want Blake and Leo, holding hands, walking the Oscar red carpet… with Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux behind them. Which couple would get more attention?

Liz Hurley in pink Blumarine, with cat-faced Shane Warne: tragic or hilarious?

Posted: 24 Jul 2011 05:57 AM PDT

fp_7636306_barm_hurley_elizabeth_10_17

I am going to keep on talking about this couple until Liz Hurley forces Shane Warne, at gunpoint, to go into his fiftieth operation to be carved into Liz's mirror image. I think that's what's happening between Shane and Liz at this point - he's going under the knife not to look "younger" - but to look more like Liz. And she loves it. I believe that she's the one encouraging him to do that to his face. It's like Pygmalion with the genders reversed. Liz Hurley is the diva-like Prof. Higgins, Shane is was the chunky, sun-damaged, womanizing Eliza Doolittle, and with some love, some money, some time, some denial, some crazy and A LITTLE BIT OF LUCK, Liz is remaking Shane into a man she can love, a man who resembles the person who Liz loves above all others: herself. And I love it. They just make so much sense together. (P.S… I think Hugh Grant is Colonel Pickering!)

Anyway, these are photos of Liz and Shane in South Africa, at an event for Estee Lauder called the Pink Illumination Ball, where Liz was seemingly the guest of honor. She wore pink, of course. And her lover came to support her, wearing his new pink-orange cat-face. Liz's dress is Blumarine, but Liz just makes every single dress she wears look like Versace. Have you ever noticed that? It's just the way she wears dresses - they always have the same cut, the same cleavage, accessorized in the same way… and it always feels like Versace.

Here's a fun fact: Liz is 46 years old. Shane is 41!!! He looks like… not 41.

Amy Winehouse has died at the age of 27

Posted: 23 Jul 2011 01:32 PM PDT

wenn3041162

My goodness. Sad news. Amy Winehouse has died at the age of 27. Her body was found by the Metropolitan Police in her London apartment today. Amy had well documented problems with drugs and alcohol (mostly alcohol), and had recently been in and out of rehab a few times just this year. She also started, but then abruptly ended a tour.

Amy Winehouse has died.

The troubled singer, whose unique and soulful voice made her a Grammy winner, was found dead at her London apartment on Saturday, according to various reports. She was 27.

“We are deeply saddened at the sudden loss of such a gifted musician, artist and performer,” a statement from her U.S. record label reads. “Our prayers go out to Amy’s family, friends and fans at this difficult time.”

London’s Metropolitan Police released also a statement about finding a body but didn’t identify the singer: “Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased,” the statement reads, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail. “On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene. Inquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained.”

The singer, who was to some as well known for her struggles with addiction as her music, was in rehab as recently as May and canceled a planned summer tour of Europe in June, following a disastrous appearance in Belgrade, Serbia.

But Winehouse’s musical accomplishments were many, including nearly sweeping the Grammy Awards in 2008 with her album Back to Black, which scored five trophies including record of the year, song of the year and best new artist. Unable to attend the Grammys due to legal troubles, Winehouse performed via satellite from London during the ceremony.

The singer had a tumultuous relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil, whom she married in 2007. But the on-again, off-again couple were officially divorced in 2009.

[From People Magazine]

It’s interesting that there’s a reference to Blake, when it’s Amy’s latest and last on-again/off-again lover Reg Traviss who seems to be involved somewhat in this drama now. There are photos of him outside of Amy’s apartment today, and I wonder if Reg wasn’t the one to find Amy’s body.

I know that this news isn’t really unexpected given Amy’s years of substance abuse, but I’m still very saddened by it. Amy was once one of the brightest talents in British music, and I loved her debut album so much. It was always my hope that she would pull herself together and make music her top priority. So, so sad. I hope her heaven has lots of dirty ballerina slippers.
