Justin Theroux might be having a mid-life crisis, thus Jennifer Aniston?

Posted: 27 Jul 2011 08:48 AM PDT

Over the weekend, both People Mag andUs Weekly had interesting stories about Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux house-hunting together in Beverly Hills. Remember, Justin is a New Yorker, and a hipster who I'm sure lives in the trendiest part of NYC (I have no idea). Aniston just bought a fancy place in New York too, plus she just sold her Beverly Hills, 1970s-style shag-pad. I think it's kind of weird that they're house-hunting in Beverly Hills, not because it signals that JustJen (Theroniston??) are really together FOR REAL, but because I thought Justin was the kind of hipster who could only live in a "cool" and "hip" neighborhood. Beverly Hills says "old money" and just "old". This might be a bigger problem then you would think - because according to Justin's friends, they fear he's in the midst of some kind of midlife crisis.

Justin and Jen have only been dating two months but they're already considering marriage and saying the "L" word — is this moving too fast?

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are full speed ahead! Us Weekly reports that Jen, 42, and Justin, 40 are "househunting" and Justin has been involved "every step of the way."

The happy couple are reportedly looking for something "cozy" and "private" — sounds just like Jen!

Justin accompanied Jen to the London premiere of Horrible Bosses and they were spotted holding hands as they exited the after party. But that's not the only sign that this couple is super serious: they wear matching name rings on their ring fingers and we even watched Justin tell Jen "I love you" while being immortalized with cement handprints at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Although Jen has never been happier, friends close to Justin reveal he's having a "midlife crisis" and the speed of this relationship is unlike Justin.

[From Hollywood Life]

Let's see… Justin turns 40 years old in a few weeks. Sidenote: Oooh, he's a LEO! My mom's a Leo. So is Pres. Clinton! Anyway, so he's turning 40, a big milestone in anyone's life. I can see how "midlife crisis" might come to mind considering he's going bald and he just dumped his girlfriend of 14 years. But don't dudes in the midst of a mid-life crisis tend to dump their significant others for someone younger? If he duped Heidi and went off with some 20-something chick, I would think he was having a mid-life moment, but he hooked up with a chick who is older than him! Or is Aniston the equivalent of a flashy sports car?

And it's not just the relationship stuff either - Justin is also on a whole new career path now, joining CAA, playing the Hollywood game, trying on a whole new persona. Which makes me think "brain tumor" more than "mid-life crisis". We'll see how it all plays out. Fingers crossed for a date for the Oscars!

Alex Skarsgard & Kate Bosworth split, Alex has already moved on

Posted: 27 Jul 2011 08:45 AM PDT

FINALLY! After two years together, Alex Skarsgard and Kate Bosworth are finally done, Us Weekly is reporting. This explains why The Bos hasn't been rubbing her bones on Alex in public recently, and it also explains why there were reports of Alex getting flirty and friendly with various chicas during Comic-Con. The Bos lost her grip on him!

Guess it wasn’t true love! After nearly two years together, True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgard and 21 actress Kate Bosworth have called it quits, Us Weekly has confirmed exclusively.

“It was very mutual,” a source tells the new issue of Us (on newsstands Wednesday). “And it happened a while ago.”

While Bosworth, 28, was photographed giving her ex, Orlando Bloom (now married to Miranda Kerr) a friendly hug on July 7, her Straw Dogs costar Skarsgard has been embracing his freedom.

During a July 21 Film District bash at Comic-Con in San Diego, the actor, 34, flirted with a brunette — and left the party with her.

“He’s single,” confirms a source, “and he is loving the attention!”

[From Us Weekly]

Here's the question, though: Did The Bos do permanent damage to Alex's reputation? What I mean is… would you be able to hook up with him knowing that he and The Bos were together for TWO YEARS? I'm not sure if I would be able to. I think less of him because he was with her and her incessant famewhore hustling for so long.

Here's another thought - I think they might have just been trying to stick it out through the promotion of their film Straw Dogs, which comes out in September. Remember, this is the film where they met each other - that's how long the film was languishing, waiting for a release date - more than two years. So, basically, the red carpets should be super-fun.

Eddie Cibrian’s ads for Charisma linens: dimply hotness or aging pretty boy?

Posted: 27 Jul 2011 08:44 AM PDT

Charisma bedding and fine linens usually choose some random beefcake to be their spokespecs. I think the last "Charisma Pecs" belonged to Gabriel Aubry - you can see his Charisma ads here. The new guy is… Eddie Cibrian. Because he might be an idiot, and he might be gross, and he might be sexually attracted to trashy, psycho women, BUT HE HAS DIMPLES. Just concentrate on the dimples and the pecs and don't even think about how LeAnn is riding that.

Couple of things: would it have killed Eddie to shave his salt-and-pepper fur before they started shooting? I usually don't mind scruff, but Eddie's is making me feel itchy. Also - Eddie looks flat-out BAD in some of these shots. Like, he's tired of dealing with crazy? Like "crazy" is aging him drastically?

By the way, Eddie's ex-wife Brandi Glanville has officially joined the cast of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. According to People Mag, Brandi isn't really a "Real Housewife" though, she's just joining the cast as a "friend of". Interesting.

Crystal Harris on sex with Hugh Hefner: they did it once and it lasted two seconds

Posted: 27 Jul 2011 08:42 AM PDT

The more Crystal Harris talks, the deeper she digs her own hole. Eariler this week she admitted that she was attracted to Hugh Hefner because of the Playboy lifestyle, the same lifestyle she blamed for breaking up with him. In an interview with Howard Stern yesterday, Harris said that sex with Hef turned her off and that the guy only lasted two seconds. Whatever happened in that moldy old bedroom, that is TMI and it’s not cool to kiss and tell. The guy let her keep the Bentley and the $90k ring. The least she could do is keep his sex secrets. Harris also said that life with Hef was stifling and that he kept a tight rein on her, which she’s spoken of in the past. Here’s more, from Howard Stern’s website:

Sex with Hef: it never really happened
"He doesn't really take off his clothes. I've never seen Hef naked. I don't know if I want to."

Crystal said she and Hef only had sex once in their entire relationship: "He's had so much sex. He's more about, like, cuddling…touchy-feely kind of stuff." It lasted just 2 seconds, with Crystal climbing off Hef before he climaxed: "He tried not to take Viagra as much any more because it made him lose his hearing." The whole scene isn't half as sexual as you'd think: "There's baby oil all over the mansion and I don't understand why."

How Hef tried to control her
The first year I was there I was able to go on vacation with my family and snowboarding. And the second year I asked to do the same things and got told no…I think he's insecure. I think he's always been that way." Asked what was worse, the sex or the schedule, Crystal shrugged: "The worst part of it was the schedule. I mean, we weren't that sexual."

Crystal said she started to feel imprisoned by the schedule: "I couldn't go anywhere. I couldn't do anything." And quickly learned that she actually was a prisoner: "Hef and I had gotten into a small argument. I just needed to breathe–get away. I started to leave and Hef called down to security and said, 'If Crystal tries to leave, contain her.'"

Details of her prenup
Worse than his rigid rule was Hef's obsession with old movies: "It's like the history lesson I never wanted." Even his bedside proposal was a disaster: "He brings out a ring and hands it to me and says, 'I hope it fits.'" Crystal's marriage was really an arrangement: she would've collected $800K on the day of the wedding and another 500K for every year she stayed with him. This was on top of her $2K/week cash allowance.

How she got out
Crystal finally snuck away just days before their wedding, waiting until Hef had started the traditional Sunday night movie (the latest X-Men film) and lying to the Mansion staff: "I got my keys and told security that I had to run to the store." Crystal said her best friend is now Hef's #1 girlfriend: "I'm not mad at her at all. I know all the reasons why she wants to be there."

[From Howard Stern]

That’s so mean to make that public, especially to declare that you were never attracted to someone you intended to marry. That just makes Crystal look bad, not Hef. Hef responded very calmly on Twitter to deny Crystal’s claims, but has since deleted the tweets. He did link to this GossipCop recap of what he wrote, though. He tweeted “Crystal did a crazy interview with Howard Stern today that didn't have much to do with reality. Is she trying to impress a new boyfriend?” and then later that “The sex with Crystal the first night was good enough so that I kept her over two more nights…. Crystal lied about our relationship on Howard Stern but I don't know why.” Just as he was on his post-split interview with Piers Morgan, Hef remained very gracious and kind about Crystal despite what she said. He wrote “When I said, ‘I missed a bullet’ when Crystal left, I didn’t mean I didn’t love her. I meant I realized she really didn’t love me.” Hef may be an old perv, but he’s a classy one. I hope Crystal fades away after this. She seemed like a conniving opportunist after she nearly married Hef and then ditched him. Now she seems like a nasty one too.

“Heidi Fleiss: Prostitutes to Parrots” reality show is coming to Animal Planet

Posted: 27 Jul 2011 08:06 AM PDT

We haven’t heard much about former madam Heidi Fleiss recently. She got a DUI for driving under the influence of Vicodin she didn’t have a prescription for in 2008. She also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2010 and Celebrity Rehab in 2009. Before that she was trying to open a legal brothel featuring male prostitutes in Nevada but that fell through. She currently lives in Pahrump, Nevada and owns a coin operated laundromat called Dirty Laundry. She also has 20 exotic macaw parrots, which she lets fly around her house. (Part of her house burned in Thanksgiving, but none of the birds were harmed.)

Anyway, Animal Planet announced a Heidi Fleiss one hour reality special, in which they’ll focus on her life with the birds and how she manages to make ends meet “With her home covered in bird poop and monthly bills for the birds soaring into the thousands.” You can’t make this sh*t up. I guess Heidi is still friends with benefits with Denis Hof too, the owner of the infamous Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada which was featured in the HBO series Cathouse.

On Sunday, July 31, at 10 PM (ET/PT), Animal Planet’s HEIDI FLEISS: PROSTITUTES TO PARROTS, provides a never-before-seen look into Heidi’s day-to-day life, where drugs and escorts have been replaced by birds and business, and every day is a fight to stay clean and sober.

The one-hour special follows Fleiss as she struggles to care for the news loves in her life — more than 20 exotic macaw parrots. With her home covered in bird poop and monthly bills for the birds soaring into the thousands, the former madam must balance her need to tend to the birds at home with the necessity of leaving them to earn a living outside of it. With multiple businesses and jobs to focus on, Fleiss spends her days shuttling from the laundromat she owns, to the doggie day care she is set to open. But, as the anxiety at being away from her birds increases, and the pressure to hire a staff to care for them rises, will the stress of life drive her back to drugs? Or, will her love for her birds and the help of noted brothel owner and good friend Dennis Hof, be enough to maintain her sobriety?

“I never, ever thought that I would end up here, but everything happens for a reason,” says Fleiss. “[Today] some people call me a crazy lady who plays with birds. It’s been a crazy way to reinvent myself, but I love these birds and I will be successful.”

[From The Futon Critic via NY Mag]

I’ve been watching Cathouse on HBO Go and Heidi makes a guest appearance in one episode where she gives pep talks to the ‘hos and business advice to her former boyfriend, owner Denis Hof. (I’m not sure when it was filmed, but it wasn’t later than 2008. Fleiss and Hof were supposedly engaged in ‘09, but I doubt that went anywhere.) The show is pretty fascinating, but that’s because you get to see a revolving door of hookers and johns and they do show plenty of sex. I don’t see how Heidi Fleiss hoarding birds is at all interesting, but it’s Animal Planet. I’m sure her birds have unique personalities and a whole social system that can be set to music and edited to look more dramatic than it is. It should be enough to fill an hour. You know who needs to get an Animal Planet special - Paris Hilton. Yes she’s overexposed but she’s also one of the worst animal hoarders there is. At least with cameras around she’d be forced to feed and water them.

Heidi Fleiss is shown in January, 2011 outside a Petco in Beverly Hills (credit: Fame) and in undated portraits. She’s 45 in case you were wondering

Cover of OK!: The plan to get Ben and J.Lo Back Together!

Posted: 27 Jul 2011 07:49 AM PDT

As Kaiser recently mentioned, Bennifer 1.0 were hilarious together and such good gossip. They starred in a God-awful movie, they hit every red carpet, they did interviews, dumbass music videos and canceled a huge Hollywood wedding at the very last minute. So now that Lopez is divorcing the guy she married a hot minute after splitting with Ben, the gossip press is trying to create a new triangle. Affleck is married with a family but his wife is also high profile and it would be some very good gossip if he went back to Lopez. We’ve already heard that Lopez’s mom e-mailed Affleck for “marriage advice” about her daughter’s crumbling relationship. The next step is to wonder when Affleck is going to go crawling back to Lopez, or if she’ll crook his finger and he’ll come running, married or not. Affleck isn’t about to go there again, he’s learned his lesson. I doubt OK!’s story that he’s even spoken to Lopez recently. Still, it’s fun to consider. Here’s some of OK!’s report:

“They’re talking,” OK! can exclusively reveal. A Lopez colleague confirms that “they’ve spoken more than once.”

There will definitely be a rekindling if J.Lo’s mom, Guadalipe, has anything to say about it. As one pal tells OK!, “She was devastated when the engagement was called off…

“She is already trying to plant the seed in Jennifer’s brain that she should reach out to Ben as a friend,” adds another insider. “Guadalupe knows he’s married, and it’s not like she’s telling her daughter to have an affair. But she’s hoping that Ben and J.Lo, who have stayed in touch occasionally over the years, can be there for each other to help ease the pain of divorce. Then, when that period passes, maybe they’ll be back together if he’s available again. And truth be told, I don’t think J.Lo hates the idea either…”

Is Ben ready to take the leap again? At the very least, he seems to have opened the door.

“He did reach out to Jennifer as soon as she announced the split, basically offering her a shoulder to cry on,” an insider tells OK!. “It was a real comfort to Jennifer that he was thinking of her.”

[From OK! Magazine, August 8, 2011]

Even if it’s accurate that Ben talked to J.Lo after the news of her divorce broke (although I doubt it), it’s not like he’s going to get romantic with her again. He went through all that already. Plus the guy is married, no matter the state of his relationship. He doesn’t want another longterm girlfriend, he probably just wants some strange without strings. I’m not saying he would go there, just that it doesn’t make sense for him to want to go back to the woman he was with before his wife.

Kaiser reminded me of this blind item that seems to be about Ben and his marriage to Jennifer Garner. It reads, in part, “This celebrity couple is pregnant… But he is just not that into being a husband and father, and was looking for a way out of the marriage. In fact, he already had one foot out the door. Why? Because an ex of his is going to be back on the market soon, and he was excited about giving that relationship another shot.” I think this is definitely about Affleck, Garner and Lopez, but that doesn’t mean it’s true. I’m pretty sure Garner is not pregnant and was just wearing a loose top recently, and again it’s not like Affleck is clamoring to get back with that diva.

Oh and I just have to mention that Affleck’s very ugly new wiglet/flat iron hair is for a role. It’s not a proactive measure to keep Lopez away. We all know that she isn’t easily deterred anyway, considering that her estranged husband looks like a cadaver.

Leighton Meester and Justin Long are dating now, surprising or not so much?

Posted: 27 Jul 2011 07:46 AM PDT

Leighton Meester has already made headlines this week for suing her mom for blowing her money (that Leighton provided to take care of her younger brother) on botox and weaves. As far as her social life goes, however, we rarely hear anything other than the occasional rubfest with Garrett Hedlund, which hasn’t happened since last fall. Now it seems that Leighton has a new man in her life; that is, Drew Barrymore’s ex, Justin Long:

The romance between Leighton Meester and “Mac guy” Justin Long is heating up. The pair are currently in the city, where Meester is filming “Gossip Girl.” A source told us, “Justin has a place on the Lower East Side, and they have been spending a lot of time together.” In May, the pair were spotted sharing a romantic dinner in LA before leaving restaurant La Poubelle holding hands. Long split with Drew Barrymore last year. Meester played Long’s girlfriend who leaves him at the beginning of the 2010 movie “Going the Distance.” Their reps didn’t get back to us.

[From Page Six]

Well, this came out of left field, but these two would probably make a very cute and sufficiently well-matched couple. As for Long, he hasn’t been seriously linked to anyone since the on-off thing with Drew finally ended last year, and although there was one incidence of a ScarJo sighting, the two were quick to deny any romantic involvement. Justin seems like a loyal and nice enough guy though, so I hope that this is true for Leighton’s sake as well. Especially if she loves receiving oral sex, you know?

Alexander McQueen left $85,000 in a trust for his three dogs

Posted: 27 Jul 2011 07:40 AM PDT

CB suggested I do this story, so let's see if I can get through it without crying. Last year, fashion designer Alexander McQueen committed suicide. It was a devastating tragedy, and his friends, coworkers and family are still picking up the pieces after his death. McQueen's will has just been made public, and it turns out that McQueen had gotten all of his affairs in order before his suicide, including making financial arrangements for the charities closest to his heart, as well as making sure his dogs would be taken care of. He left about $26 million to animal charities, plus $82,000 in a trust to whoever took care of his dogs. It's said that his dogs were one of the last concerns McQueen had, and his suicide note consisted of "Look after my dogs, sorry, I love you, Lee." Yeah. I'm crying.

His puppies: Minter, a mongrel; Juice, an English bull terrier; and Callum, a Rhodesian ridgeback. The charities: Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and The Blue Cross, both charities that work with finding animals a home. He also donated money to the London Buddhist Center and his own Sarabande charity - he requested that Sarbande create scholarships and grants for design students. He also left 50,000 pounds each to his two housekeepers, and made arrangements for his godson, nieces, nephews and his three sisters and two brothers.

Mila Kunis wears Elie Saab in Moscow: ice-skater fug or girlishly cute?

Posted: 27 Jul 2011 06:30 AM PDT

Here are some photos of Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis promoting their film Friends With Benefits in Moscow yesterday (…or today?). As Bedhead talked about on Monday, FWB didn't really take the domestic box office by storm (opening weekend: $18 million-ish), so JT and Mila trotted out for some international hustling. The problem might be that neither one of them are huge draws for filmgoers, in America or abroad. The film actually got decent reviews, so it might just be that people are sick of the concept, which had already been done with Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. Plus, people really think JT is a douche these days - read Lainey's hilarious screed against Justin "NOT" Timberlake here.

Anyway, what's kind of surprised me is how douchey I'm find Mila Kunis these days too. I think it's douche-by-association from Justin, but whatever it is, Mila seems to be faltering. Her style is going to hell, her makeup is rough and she just looks tired and "over it." For the Moscow premiere, Mila wore this Elie Saab gown that looks like a Marchesa knock-off. So cheesy and ice-skater-ish. Maybe it's the jet lag. But I really think it's just JT's smarmy douche infecting her.

Kat Von D got a tattoo of Jesse James’ face right before their breakup

Posted: 27 Jul 2011 05:39 AM PDT

I don’t watch L.A. Ink but I remember seeing a clip where Kat got a tattoo of a coworker’s face on her thigh. (That was in an episode from 2008) Kat has her mother’s face on her back shoulder, her sister’s face on an arm, and her ex husband’s face on a leg. She has so many tattoos now that it’s hard to see where she’d have space for more. As part of the plot for the upcoming season of L.A. Ink, Kat got another face, her then-lover Jesse James’ fifth grade school photo, underneath her armpit. The scenario was basically the same as when she had her friend Pixie’s face tattooed on her - she did it as a surprise and then caught Jesse’s reaction for the show. He seemed ok with it, called her crazy and told her he loved her. (That clip is above.) Kat and Jesse are of course kaput now, making this season opener for L.A. Ink all the more mock-worthy.

Kat Von D and Jesse James may have broken off their engagement, but she has one thing from the relationship that is going to be really hard to get rid of - a tattoo of his face!

In the sneak peek of the season premiere of LA INk obtained by RadarOnline.com, Kat surprises Jesse with a tattoo on her left side that is his face from a childhood school photo.

“I’m getting his face tattooed on me and I have no idea how he’s going to react,” Kat says in the clip.

When Jesse arrives at her tattoo shop he jokes “I feel like I’m in court,” as Kat tells him she’s nervous about giving him his “surprise.”

He seems happy with her new ink - saying “you’re crazy,” but ultimately telling Kat “yeah” he loves it, and “I love you.”

Perhaps foreshadowing the future, Kat says she was scared about Jesse’s reaction. “I thought you were going to tell me you were breaking up with me.”

[From Radar Online]

All I can do is point and laugh. In Kat’s case she has so much ink all over her body that it’s probably easy enough to ignore a few faces of her exes, though. It’s not like someone with a handful of tattoos getting stuck with a big photo of their ex on their body - she has hundreds.

Radar has a follow-up article about how a supposed eyewitness heard Kat and Jesse fighting outside her house. She was overheard accusing him of cheating on her. This is of course a very predictable outcome given Jesse’s well documented history. I hope that Kat is the one who leaked this story to Radar so that she could get her side of the story out. Again, pointing and laughing.
