Courtney Stodden, the 16 year-old bride, got a reality show

Posted: 21 Sep 2011 09:32 AM PDT

Courtney Stodden’s evil stage mom announced that her now 17 year-old daughter and her 17 year-old daughter’s creepy pervy 51 year-old character actor husband, Doug Hutchison, just signed a deal with a production company for a reality show in which they’re ” going to be very, very open about their lives.” Wasn’t that always the end game with this stunt? Like isn’t a reality show what they were aiming for all along? The thing is, they only signed a deal with a production company, does that mean that whatever monstrosity they produce that exploits this still-not-yet-legal teen’s awkward sexuality will NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY? Someone has to buy this and put it on a network with very low rock-bottom non existent standards, right? (Did I use enough adjectives there to convey my disgust?) This is just the first step, isn’t it?

Teen bride Courtney Stodden has signed a deal with a production company to produce her reality show Radaronline.com has exclusively learned.

The 17-year-old and her Green Mile actor husband Doug Hutchison have signed a deal with Roy Bank, the president of Merv Griffin Entertainment.

“We are so excited to be working with Roy Bank, a great professional in this business,” Courtney and Doug exclusively told Radaronline.com.

“We are proud that we were able to find the perfect producer for our reality show and are thrilled to be working with this prestigious production company.”

Bank was the executive producer of reality show hits like Mark Burnett Productions’ Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?

“The reason we went with Roy is because we feel that he is the man who will be able to place Courtney’s show in front of the best network for her,” Krista Stodden, Courtney’s momager, told Radaronline.com.

The reality show will give viewers a look into the newlywed’s unconventional lifestyle and promises to be no holds barred.

“They are going to be very, very open about their lives,” Courtney’s mom said. “They want everybody to see their life. Nothing is off limits.”

Courtney Stodden will be answering questions live on RadarOnline.com’s Facebook page Thursday, September 22 at 2pm East Coast/11am west Coast

I’m just putting this out there, and I’m not volunteering to organize it or anything since my moral compass is permanently broken, but if any network picks this up they can prepare for outrage and a boycott. People are up in arms about Chaz Bono dancing for God’s sake, I hope that some of these religious conservative groups have a problem with showcasing a girl who was married off at 16 to a 51 year-old man. I mean we know that some of them definitely don’t have a problem with that, but there have to be a few that do. Maybe they’re willing to overlook it since Courtney is Christian and was a virgin supposedly until she got married.

Here’s a blurry video that Courtney posted of herself lip syncing to Usher. She tweeted. “I find myself sweetly reminiscing this afternoon; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGnGBhJNpz0 A glistening jewel has floated straight out of my treasure-chest. ;-)

Some other selected tweets of Courtney’s:
Displaying my provocative physique around the house as it’s dazzlingly saturated in soft-ticklish boa-feathers… Mmm… MEOW! ;-x

Lickin a sucker as I boisterously bounce UP & down on the bed while drenched in a soak ‘n wet white mini-T & pink panties; Feelin Dangerous!

Dripping with dazzling diamonds — Bikini Style — as I get ready to crawl into the pool for a morning dip… Meow! ;-)

If she’s really capable of tweeting like that, and I doubt she is, she could have earned a reality show on her Twitter account alone and wouldn’t have had to go through the trouble of marrying a dude older than her dad.

Demi Lovato gracefully breaks free of Disney shell, unlike Miley Cyrus

Disney child stars might make a ton of money in a few short years, but they certainly don’t have a very easy time in the maturation department where their continuing career success is concerned. Just look at Miley Cyrus, who made many millions of dollars as a pre-packaged entity, “Hannah Montana,” but has faltered since turning 18 by taking “growing up” to extremes; that is, she abruptly sexed up her image and lost revenue in the process:

In sharp contrast to Miley’s approach to adulthood, Demi Lovato, who just turned 19 a few weeks ago, has celebrated by releasing her third album, Unbroken, which critics have stated is a successful step towards maturity without alienating her younger fans too. This album’s release arrives eight months after Demi finished rehab for bulimia and cutting issues, and she’s since accepted responsibility for her past diva-related actions. Since then, she’s given a slight indication that she is still vulnerable to criticism over her weight, but Demi appears to have gained steadfast control over her musical career. Unbroken vaulted to the top of the iTunes charts within mere hours, and this commercial success has been bolstered with critical acclaim as well:

A weird thing happens about halfway through Unbroken. It transforms from guest-filled, R&B-oriented dance-pop, the kind one might expect a former Disney princess asserting her adulthood to make, into a series of intimate, sometimes painful confessions, the marks of an artist who’s actually growing up. Instead of sounding disjointed, the changes parallel the 19-year-old’s recent journey, which included a rehab stint to treat bulimia and cutting issues. By the time she hits the ballad Skyscraper, a towering performance that sounds both desperate and determined, she has clearly transitioned from a teen star into a young woman worth listening to.

[From USA Today]

Instead of going too edgy or staying a Disney princess, Demi Lovato’s Unbroken, which drops Tuesday, is a perfectly mature album without scaring away the teens that grew up loving the Camp Rock star.

Unbroken represents the opportunity to wipe clean several slates, something Ms. Lovato is well suited for. She's long been the least musically predictable of her Disney class, which also includes the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. Her albums - Don’t Forget from 2008, and especially Here We Go Again, released the next year - were the savviest of the group’s, full of biting and aggressive pop-rock.

[From New York Times]

Instead of going too edgy or staying a Disney princess, Demi Lovato’s Unbroken, which drops Tuesday, is a perfectly mature album without scaring away the teens that grew up loving the “Camp Rock” star.

[From MTV]

There are two ways for pop stars to make a Survivor Album: either power-sing through your problems like Christina Aguilera, or make like Rihanna and dance till you forget what you’re supposed to be getting over. On her first release since checking out of rehab, Demi Lovato wants to have it both ways. Clearly it’s been a tough year for Lovato. But as Rihanna could tell her, sometimes bad years make great songs.

[From CNN]

On Tuesday at midnight, Demi bought her own copy of Unbroken at Best Buy. She was greeted outside by thousands of fans and reportedly gave the following statement: “A year ago I was not in a good place, and I needed help. There are so many beautiful girls in this audience that don't know that they’re beautiful, and they are.” She also expressed gratitude to her fans for “being there for me every single day when I was away.” Not bad for a Disney kid, but it’s also not unexpected for one that also managed write most of her own songs along the way. While Demi’s music (including Unbroken’s lead single, “Skyscraper”) isn’t exactly my cuppa, I wish her continued success and hope that she keeps making great strides in her personal life too. Miley could certainly take a few notes from Demi’s playbook as well.

Star: Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock are planning a small Texas wedding

Posted: 21 Sep 2011 09:04 AM PDT

wenn3456164
Last week’s In Touch reported that Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock had sort-of moved in together, which I believe is possible. At least Ryan was said to have moved some things into Sandra’s Austin home and to be living with her in both L.A. and Austin “until he figures out a permanent situation.” They seem like they’re getting serious, or at least Sandra is, and they’ve been seen out together several times. We’ve heard rumors that they’re talking about adopting a baby, and now Star is reporting that they’re already planning to marry. I think that both of them are gun shy after their failed marriages, and I doubt this is even partially true. Here’s Hollywood Life’s report:

Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock are ready to take their relationship to the next level and get married, according to Star magazine!

Star reports that during their Wyoming vacation, Ryan brought up the subject of marriage.

"Ryan told her he was ready to tie the knot whenever she wants," a source told the magazine. "And after seeing how quickly she's bonded with baby Louis, she decided she's ready to pull the trigger, too. So they started discussing the logistics of pulling off a low-key, barefoot wedding that would reflect their laid-back lifestyle."

The wedding will be small with only 25 guests, Sandra's son Louis will be the best man the pair will feed the party with BBQ from Sandra's favorite restaurant in Austin.

[From Hollywood Life]

Yeah, Sandra had a horrible experience with her last marriage and Ryan is loving being single. I can see him being ready for a commitment, maybe, but not being ready to walk down the aisle again.

All of this sounds a little ridiculous when you consider that Ryan was just spotted out in New York over the weekend with none other than serial dater and his co-star whose boobs he loved to grab, Olivia Wilde. They looked annoyed to be papped together, and their reps claim they’re just friends and don’t have a relationship. Sure, just like Sandra and Ryan are “just friends.” It could be the case, though. Either way, this wedding story is bunk, but you know that I would freaking love for it to be true. My brain has been addled by way too many romcoms.

Leonardo DiCaprio will reportedly propose to Blake Lively in a few months

Posted: 21 Sep 2011 08:58 AM PDT

wenn3431365

Blake Lively is the kind of girl you marry. Go ahead and yell at me! Whatever. I think Blake is looking for commitment, but only if she scores a big fish. Luckily for Blake, she's already reeled in a big one: Leonardo DiCaprio, who hasn't mentioned Blake yet as his promotional tour for J. Edgar has begun. Will Leo bring Blake to the premiere of J. Edgar? Will he end up confirming what we already know: that Blake has game, and she's won his heart? And what is the endgame for Blake and Leo? Will she just be his official girlfriend for a few years, or will Blake manage to "get the ring" where other women failed?

A new report says long-time bachelor, Leo, is ready to take himself off the market! Do we hear wedding bells for Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, 24, and Leonardo Dicaprio, 36? According to Star magazine, sources close to the pair say he plans on popping the question within the next few months!

"His friends never thought he'd settle down, but he thinks Blake's the one," a source tells the mag.

While Leonardo has a history of dating the world's most beautiful women — including Victoria's Secret supermodels Gisele Bundchen and Bar Refaeli — he is notorious for his inability to commit.

After jetting around the world together, it appears as if Blake is the one to win his heart.

"He is planning to propose in the next few months," the source reveals to Star. "And he wants to get married and start on a family soon after that. He's finally ready to take himself off the market."

How cute! We're not going to lie here, we're really hoping this is true! We'd love to see a Blake & Leo wedding! Could you imagine the dress, the guest list full of Hollywood's elite and their cute blonde babies?

[From Hollywood Life]

Well, he's 36. Now is the time for Leo to decide if he's going to go for the George Clooney route (never settling down), the Warren Beatty route (settling down when he's really old), or the Brad Pitt route (?) - which I'm making up, but… let's say the Brad Pitt route is settling down with someone more than a decade younger and starting a family right away. You never know about Leo - he could be the kind of dude who would end up being a pretty decent husband. And I personally think that Blake would love to marry him. Engaged by the Oscars?!?

Kirstie Alley’s delusional numbers game: she’s now 130 pounds?

Posted: 21 Sep 2011 08:26 AM PDT

fp_7880604_alley_kirstie_ini_03_05

People Magazine did a photo shoot with Kirstie Alley in Italy - you can see one of the photos here, at People. Kirstie looks great in the shot, but… you can totally see how she's cinched within an inch of her life AND that the photos are going to be using the "motherlode" function on Photoshop. It's no big deal in and of itself - Kristie has every right to be proud of her weight loss, and she has every right to want to be photographed beautifully. The problem is with People Mag's interview. When Kirstie speaks, delusion comes out. It was just last week that Kirstie told Entertainment Tonight that she lost "100 pounds" as she went from a size eight to a size 4. Tim Gunn even stepped up and tried to tell people that Kirstie is just delusional about vanity sizing, and now, in this new interview, Kristie continues the deceptions:

Rock that body, Kirstie! When Kirstie Alley cleared the 100 lb. weight-loss hurdle this summer, it was time for a big, fat celebration.

“When I hit that mark, I went, ‘That’s it!’ ” Alley tells PEOPLE during her stay in a villa outside Florence, Italy. “I have more energy than I’ve ever had in my whole life.”

While Alley’s weight has famously fluctuated in recent years, the actress, now 60, hit a wall two years ago.

“My body had gotten really weak,” says Alley, whose weight at that time hovered around 230 lbs. “There was nothing positive about being fat.”

By dancing daily after her dazzling appearance on Dancing with the Stars, where she finished second, changing to an organic diet and following Organic Liaison, her own weight-loss program, she’s turned her life around.

“I feel back to normal,” says Alley, now a proud size 6. “I have my game again.”

And she’s ready for her next challenge: “What I’m looking for is to be madly, deeply in love,” says Alley, who will also star in the upcoming ABC pilot, The Manzanis.

“For the first time in my life, I know exactly what I want in a man,” she says. “I want someone who has my back, who is courageous and brave.”

[From People]

I'll say it again: Kirstie has every right to be proud of herself and her weight loss, and I think it's great that she's doing the work to keep the weight off. None of that is the issue. The issue is that Kirstie is made of lies. Size 4, size 6, 230 pounds with a 100 pound weight loss, putting her at a current 130 pounds?!? Who believes these claims? NO ONE. But who will tell Kirstie to shut it? NO ONE. Is it because she's insane? Or is it because it's just easier for people to humor her?

Here's another question - I would have no problem believing that Kristie lost a great deal of weight, but do you get the feeling that Kirstie was already so delusional about her size, and has been lying about it for years and years, so that now when she could step up and be honest about it, it doesn't feel the same? Like, in Kristie's mind, she was 200+ pounds and a stretchy size 10 (if that, in her mind), and she obviously lost 100 pounds and now she's a size 4, only somewhere in the dark recesses of her conscience, she knows she's been lying the whole time, and she can't even be proud of herself.

Is Lourdes Leon’s style too mature for a 14-year-old?

Posted: 21 Sep 2011 07:54 AM PDT

fp_7910787_materialgirl_aar_01_38

My God, Lourdes Leon really is turning into such a beautiful young woman, isn't she? Her parentage is all over her face, and while she looks more and more like Madonna as she gets order, I can also see a healthy dose of Carlos Leon in there too. She really got the best features from both of them. And much like her mom, Lola wears too much makeup. It’s way too much for someone her age, honestly.

Anyway, these are new photos of Lola and Kelly Osbourne at the 1-year anniversary event for Lola and Madonna's Material Girl line at Macy's. If you remember, Kelly is the "face" of the brand now, replacing ol' Raccoon McPantless. Kelly looks cute in these photos, but your eye goes to Lola, right? Why isn't she the face of the brand? Oh, right. Because she's 14 years old! She'll be 15 next month. 15 going on 35, right?

In late August, Madonna took her kids and her boyfriend on vacation, and the paparazzi got lots of photos of Lola in her bikini. Some people commented on her developing breasts, which… come on, guys. She's a teenage girl. She's developing like a healthy teenage girl. This is not an implant situation. This is a puberty situation, and Lola is growing up before our eyes. She's also taken care of her eyebrows too!

I also included a candid of Lola in NYC earlier yesterday. She's so cute.

Two and Half Men with Ashton Kutcher sets ratings record, but was it any good?

Posted: 21 Sep 2011 07:51 AM PDT

men1
I’ve watched a few episodes of Two and a Half Men prior to now. Usually that was the result of being stuck in a waiting room or an airplane with absolutely no other programming options. It’s a dumb show with canned laughs, but at times it did crack me up. So I went into this with low expectations, which were met I guess. I mean it sucked. The show opened with Charlie’s funeral, where his ex lovers trash talked him and listed off his sexual fetishes. There were plenty of dumb jokes and groan-inducing one liners. A few were kind of funny though. Here’s my very brief recap. Evil Beet has a better one you’re interested.

Rose explains how Charlie died, by “falling” in front of a moving subway train after she caught him cheating on her. “I want you to know that Charlie didn’t suffer. His body just exploded like a balloon full of meat.
Jake asks “does anyone else feel hungry?

They establish that no one can afford the house now that Charlie has passed. Later, when Alan is alone, Ashton Kutcher comes in to use the phone after unsuccessfully trying to commit suicide by drowning. He tells someone on the other line “I want you to know that I just flung myself in the ocean because I can’t live without you. No, I’m not calling you from the ocean. Because it was cold.”

Ashton’s tech billionaire character Walden: “Money does not buy happiness.”
Jon Cryer’s character, Alan. “I don’t know I’ve never had either.”

Ashton then strips down to his skivvies to change. Then they go out to some TGI Fridays type place to bond over drinks. Ashton picks up two chicks with his sad sap story, and the two of them bring the ladies back to Charlie/Alan’s place. Ashton scores a menage a trois and gets laid while Jon Cryer’s character goes to bed alone with no nookie.

The next morning Walden/Ashton proceeds to walk around shirtless/nude while everyone exclaims at his penis size. Then he announces he’s buying the house.

At least the whole episode was only 20 minutes or so. It wasn’t terrible, just kind of there.

A lot of people tuned in to watch Ashton’s half dressed debut, though. The show got over 27 million viewers and a Nielsen rating higher than any single episode when Charlie starred. So it’s safe to say that Ashton will be sticking around. Don’t cry for Charlie, though. He just made $25 million from Warner Brothers for his past episodes and could get $100 million for syndication rights over the next ten years. I guess it was money he was owed or something, but still that sounds outrageous.

Parents of 6yo Toddlers & Tiaras tot spent over $150k making her a star

Posted: 21 Sep 2011 06:49 AM PDT

eden3
Radar Online has news of an upcoming interview in Star Magazine with the parents of six year-old Toddlers & Tiaras star Eden Wood. Eden’s parents admit to spending upwards of $150,000 setting up their daughter for a life of pageantry. They could have spent a fraction of that to hire in-home tutors, send their daughter to the best schools, or have her learn an instrument or a second language. But really, she’s six so all of that would come later. She should be playing, learning to read and doing basic math. Instead Eden’s parents poured all that money into grooming their daughter to be a performer who trades on her looks.

In a video on Radar, Eden shows off her skills in a little belly-baring outfit with a butt-slapping rap-lite performance that I found really disturbing. She sings:

They call me cutie, cutie patootie
walking up the pageant stage and checking my bootie
cutie, cutie patootie
I’m a little Southern girl but no one [unintelligible]
Seen my face in magazines, pictures in the TV…
Got my own facebook page…
Pretty hair, pretty eyes…

I didn’t understand all she said. The video then cuts to Eden on the catwalk in a big blonde wig, dancing to 80s hits while adults take her picture.

Then around 1:30 into the video she’s wearing a cowboy outfit with a little bra and short-shorts. She strips off her jacket and smacks and shakes her butt! There are little stuffed animals peeking out from her back pockets and she repeatedly wags and shakes it to the music. It’s way too adult and suggestive a performance for a little girl, but I guess that’s all we can expect from these pageant moms.

Here’s Radar’s story:

It takes a lot to make such a little performer a champion of champions. In fact, in an exclusive interview, Eden's mom, Mickie Wood, tells Star magazine that she estimates the family has spent in the region of $175,000 turning Eden into the mini-celebrity that she is.

"We've probably spent up to $150,000 or $175,000," Mickie confessed. "I may be a little over the top with it, but she's my only little girl."

While controversy ramps-up over claims that the competitive world of child pageants exploits it's young stars, Mickie is unfazed by the claims. "I really don't care what people think. From what the show puts out there, it looks like we're crazy. It's just not so," she told Star.

In the exclusive video of Eden's performance at the Cowgirl Riders Debutante Fashion Show in New York City, her routine seems well beyond her years, strutting and singing in the spotlight and even whipping off her denim jacket to reveal a rhinestone-studded halter-and-shorts get up.

However, her mother insisted that it was a perfectly suitable performance for a little 6-year-old girl: "There's not anything in her wardrobe that's inappropriate," Mickie said.

[From Radar Online]

It takes a special kind of parent to do this to their kids, the same kind of parent that is going to defend it and say there’s nothing wrong with what they’re doing. These people probably took out a second mortgage in order to afford to put their daughter on the pageant circuit. They probably think it’s paying off too, now that everyone is talking about her.

These photos are from Eden’s Facebook Page.

Here’s Eden doing “Cutie Patootie.” This outfit is more conservative than the one she wears on Radar’s video.

And here’s an Inside Edition report on Australians trying to ban the likes of Eden. Her mom cries and says “this is what she wants to do.” What a piece of work she is.

Jennifer Aniston demanded an apology from “rude, inappropriate” Brad Pitt

Posted: 21 Sep 2011 06:49 AM PDT

fp_7910237_aniston_jennifer_cjny_09_15

First, let's do all of the nice stuff. Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are still getting pap'd on a daily basis in NYC, as they have been ever since Brad Pitt's Parade interview dropped. You see, Jennifer is "flaunting" how "happy" she and Justin are, because she knows Brad is totally jealous. More on that in a moment.

So these are photos of Justin and Jen from yesterday. They got photographed all over the place - INF had photos (here) of Justin hogging the umbrella so as to not get his precious leather jacket wet, leaving Aniston to get her blowout damp. The photos in this post seem to be after the rain. I dislike Aniston's casual outfit. The boots are fug, and those jeans aren't flattering. I don't really get the hat either, but I guess her hair didn't look cute because Justin is an umbrella-hogger.

Hollywood Life also reports that Justin and Jennifer are very loved-up in New York, and they're nesting. They just went shopping for kitchenware at Sur La Table, where Jen picked everything out and Justin paid. A source tells HL, "Jen and Justin went to Sur La Table in Soho. They went in and Justin picked out all [of the products]. He was protecting her almost by standing in front [of her]. She was quiet. They looked in love. And then they ran out and hopped into their SUV." They spent $137.02, and Justin charged it.

Meanhwhile, you know how I just talked about OK! Magazine's cover story, in which a "friend" of Jennifer's threw a pity party about how Brad is vicious and jealous of Jennifer's relationship with Justin? Well, Us Weekly got the same "tip" from Jennifer's team, only the way Us Weekly reports it is kind of funny:

aniston1

Brad Pitt made a big-time boo-boo. He’s garnering Oscar buzz for his role in Moneyball, but Angelina Jolie’s man sparked a public relations catastrophe last week — all for a Parade interview in which he casually slammed his five-year marriage to Jennifer Aniston, which ended in 2005.

(In the interview released Sept. 15, Pitt, 47, sniffed that he “wasn’t living an interesting life” before Jolie, and that he was “trying to pretend my marriage was something that it wasn’t.”)

And, yes, his 42-year-old ex-wife got wind of the catty comment. “She was annoyed,” a pal close to the Horrible Bosses actress tells the new Us Weekly, out now. “She thought it was rude and inappropriate.”

Team Aniston — her agent and publicists — “went ballistic,” a Pitt insider reveals, and angrily reached out to Pitt’s camp.

“They got his team involved and Brad was read the riot act — the only way you can read the riot act to Brad Pitt,” the source says.

Within 24 hours, Pitt had surprisingly released a statement lamenting that his words were misinterpreted, and that his former love “is an incredibly giving, loving and hilarious woman.”

Still, the Pitt source says, “no one believes his words were taken out of context — he said what he said. I do hear that he’s remorseful.”

And although Pitt is clearly blissed out with Jolie, 36, and their six kids, “We think he’s jealous she’s in love,” the source says.

Indeed, Aniston hasn’t let her ex’s harsh words get in the way of her hot romance with Justin Theroux, with whom she’s now spending time with in NYC. “Justin’s The One!” an Aniston pal says.

For much more on Pitt and Aniston’s unexpected new war — and how Pitt and Jolie “make fun of” her — pick up the new Us Weekly, out now!

[From Us Weekly]

There's so much gold in that one, I can't even start. Aniston's PR team reacted the same way her super-defensive fanbase reacted: they lashed out, blew it out of proportion, and then claimed that Brad was just jealous. The problem is that Brad is still represented by CAA, right? He and Aniston both have the same agency, so I can believe that their joined representation was pissed off that he "went off the reservation" so to speak. Maybe if he got a new agent, he wouldn't have to walk on eggshells around Aniston seven years later.

As for Justin being "the one" - I hope he is. I'm being genuine. I hope he doesn't dump her. I hope he sticks around. I hope he isn't too bored.

Gwyneth Paltrow is BFFs with Lenny “Leonard” Kravitz too

Posted: 21 Sep 2011 06:09 AM PDT

fp_7899181_rij_2011_emmys_set1_117_167

A few years ago, in the early days of Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP newsletter (what halcyon days those were), Dame Goop deigned to name-drop, as she often does. Except that the name she dropped made everybody do a big "WTF?" Goop made reference to Billy Joel's then-wife, Katie Lee Joel, and mentioned Billy in passing, writing, "The summer before last, a mutual friend brought the lovely Katie Lee Joel and her husband William over for dinner. Much to my delight, she brought a fresh batch of these cookies with her. I adore the contrast of the dark chocolate and the cherries — heaven.” William Joel. Because Dame Goop thinks it's gauche and peasanty to refer to someone as their nickname or stage name or the name they prefer to be called. At the time, Billy Joel's rep basically said that no one ever calls him William and that Goop is an idiot (I'm paraphrasing).

Anyway, yesterday Lenny Kravtiz tweeted this photo (below) with the message, "The only person in the world that calls me Leonard." You guessed it.

goop11

Is the point that Gwyneth simply is too elegant and classy to exist in our modern world, what with the abundance of tacky "nicknames"? Probably. I think there's another point, though: that Gwyneth is super-cool. She's so cool that she hangs out with Leonard Kravitz and William Joel and Beyonce Knowles and Christopher Martin. She's so super-cool that not only does she hang out with all of these super-cool people (who all think she is amazing, did she mention that?), she also tries to teach these super-cool people some old-fashioned class, like calling people by their proper, Christian names.

Also: I wonder if she refers to her exes as William Bradley Pitt and Benjamin Geza Affleck? Does she always call her husband Chris, or Christopher?
