Elisabetta Canalis spotted out with hot True Blood star Mehcad Brooks

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 08:54 AM PDT

So Elisabetta Canalis got voted off Dancing with The Stars on the second week, followed by another chick who could have just as easily dated George Clooney given his standards, Kristin Cavallari. (Spoilers - oops too late.) In her most recent interview, with In Touch, Elisabetta revealed that she had no real game plan post-DWTS and she may have even hinted that she was ready to return to Italy. She said “I just want to move on… I'm really just doing what I've done for years before — my job, and that's television. I had this opportunity to do my job here in this country.” So did she mean that the opportunity had passed and that she was moving back to Italy? She may have just screwed up the tense or something. (No real offense to her English as I’ve had to speak another language out of necessity and it’s a bitch.)

Elisabetta may have been vague about her plans, but somehow she hatched a classic famewhore move - a date at a Hollywood hot spot! Only she didn’t score an A or B-lister, she was spotted out with a guy who got killed off “True Blood” two seasons ago, Mehcad Brooks. That’s ok, Mehcad makes up in hotness what he lacks in fame. My estimation of him has lowered considerably now that I know he went out with Elisabetta, though. Here’s more:

Mehcad Brooks might be the next George Clooney … maybe … because the “True Blood” star had a romantic dinner with Clooney’s ex Elisabetta Canalis this week … and TMZ has the video to prove it!

The two dined at STK steakhouse in L.A. — and after what seems like a date, they BOTH left in Mehcad’s SUV.

[From TMZ]

TMZ has video of these two getting Mehcad’s car from the valet and when the paparazzi asked how they met he’s all “we didn’t meet, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He smiles and seems happy enough for the attention, though. I guess he’s starring on USA’s “Necessary Roughness” now, so he has another steady gig on television. Maybe he could find some work for Elisabetta! We know how much she wants to be an actress despite lacking even a sliver of talent.

Is Demi Moore playing her marital troubles for sympathy?

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 08:43 AM PDT

fp_7924271_rij_variety_luncheon_77_127

Do you feel any sympathy for Demi Moore at this point? Whenever I start to feel a twinge of sympathy, empathy or pity for Demi's current situation - that of emaciated, wronged wife who may be battling some kind of substance abuse problem, allegedly - I think back to her history as a willfully oblivious famewhore. Remember when Ashton Kutcher cheated on Demi last year? She posed in bikinis and posted the photos on Twitter, and she and Ashton went to Israel on some kind of romantic, paparazzi-friendly vacation. And now that Ashton has once again screwed around on her, she's keeping her head down… but there are still reports of her wearing her ring, and there's still no statement from her or her publicist about the alleged split.

Radar has a new report in which "sources" claim that Demi has now given up on counseling to fix her broken marriage. I guess I should feel sympathy for her commitment to making her marriage work - but mostly, I'm just mad at her for seeming like such a doormat.

A stressed-out Demi Moore can't forgive Ashton Kutcher for cheating on her with Sara Leal and the marriage is over despite a last-ditch attempt at counseling. Moore and Kutcher were already separated when the Two And a Half Men star cheated on her — on their sixth wedding anniversary!

"They've been in counseling," a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively. But when Ashton cheated with Leal in San Diego in the early morning of September 24, it dealt a death blow to the marriage.

"They separated about six weeks ago," the source said. "Both went to Kaballah counseling hoping to save the marriage. But it's over now."

Kutcher has been accused of cheating previously in the marriage. He denied hooking up with Brittney Jones last year, but has been quiet about his sexual encounter with Leal, who slept with Ashton in his penthouse suite in San Diego and then sent a text message to friends telling them about it.

Star magazine was first to report that the couple will now split a $290 million fortune and also features photos from inside Ashton's hotel room as a party raged — a party that ended with Kutcher and Leal having sex.

Ashton and Demi are both still wearing their wedding rings but the source close to the couple says the marriage is dead and Demi is devastated. Moore has shocked everyone with her appearance lately, losing a substantial amount of weight.

"She is completely stressed out," the source said. "She's devastated."

RadarOnline.com was first to report that Ashton and Demi dropped each other on Twitter and the once chatty pair have been silent about their relationship.

[From Radar]

At this point, isn't it "Split or GTFO"? They've already separated - sort of. Ashton has allegedly moved out of the home he shared with Demi. Why not announce the split formally? Does she like the speculation? Does she think it's none of our business? It's a little late for that, considering how public she and Ashton have been throughout their marriage. So… what's the hold up? Can Demi just not admit that the marriage has failed? Is she still clinging to some hope that everything can be salvaged?

I should point out - I'm not being critical of Demi because I blame her, or because she seems to be fighting for Ashton. I just think it's really obvious that Ashton wants out, and has wanted out for a long time. Regardless of what he might be saying to her now, his actions speak volumes about how little he cares about the marriage, and no amount of counseling will change that. So… that's why I think Demi should just bite the bullet and finish this junk and move the hell on.

(Plus, there's the Schadenfreude Factor, in which many people have found Demi really annoying for years, so they just like to see her get some kind of "comeuppance". I’m not judging that.)

Gwyneth Paltrow “performed” for royalty - she’ll be insufferable after this

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 08:13 AM PDT

wenn3545933

Gwyneth Paltrow, otherwise known as Mrs. Elton and Queen of the Humble-brag, has now performed for royalty. Meaning that she sang for Prince Phillip, the Queen's husband. Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh, is 90 years old, and he reportedly has a long-time soft-spot for leggy blondes. So I wonder what his reaction to Gwyneth's "performance" was? Well, he spoke to her after she performed, so I guess he liked it - you can see photos of that here. But you know what this means, right? Future Goop newsletters in which Gwyneth refers to her "dear special friend, His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Phillip Mountbatten" (because Goop is obsessed with using everyone's formal names). Goop will be so smug after this. Here's more from The Mail:

When Cee Lo Green released his single F*** You, he knew he would have to come up with a clean version for the radio edit of the track. And so, when it came to Gwyneth Paltrow performing the song on hit US TV show Glee, she belted out the child-friendly version Forget You. But there was no such censorship on Wednesday night, when the actress opted to perform the foul-mouthed version of the song at a party in Mayfair in front of royal guests which included Prince Philip.

Before performing the song, Gwyneth, 39, turned to the Duke of Edinburgh and joked: ‘I hope you don’t mind the lyrics - don’t tell the Queen!’

Apparently Prince Philip, 90, was so enamoured with Hollywood actress Gwyneth that he changed his plans to stay later than he had originally intended to so he could hear her perform.

A source told the Daily Telegraph: ‘The Duke had been due to leave at around 10pm but he was enjoying himself so much that he stayed for an extra half hour to listen to all of Gwyneth’s songs.’

And it seems the feeling was mutual, as Gwyneth also appeared to be very fond of the Duke.

The source added: ‘Gwyneth clearly enjoyed his company and was chatting away to him as if he was an old uncle. The Duke had a real twinkle in his eye and was having such a good time that after he made his speech he stayed on for a concert downstairs for an hour or so.’

Gwyneth and the Queen’s husband are both members and patrons of the swanky members-only establishment on London’s Dover Street.

[From The Mail]

Ugh, she's going to be so much more insufferable after this. Why is it that all of these important people (Phillip, Mark Ronson) think Gwyneth's voice is so great? It's not. I mean, she can carry a tune, but her voice is basically just a good karaoke voice, not "performing for the Duke" good.

Can't you just hear it now? "My dear friend Phillip Mountbatten asked me to just call him Dukesy, but I can't! Anyway, Phillip told me that I needed to perform for him more often, I apparently make him feel like a young man. And I asked, 'Oh, you poor dear, you're so terribly old! I shall cook for you!' And he agreed. So now I'm organizing a little dinner party for he and Elizabeth Windsor-Mountbatten. I shall use my outdoor pizza grill and it shall be so unbelievable quaint. I'll invite the Dalai Lama and Naomi Campbell to round out the dinner party. I’ll sing after dinner!"

Ryan Gosling brought his bad dog to yoga class, where it peed in the corner

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 07:30 AM PDT

fp_7479759_gosling_ryan_lax
I have the feeling that there will be little interest in this story, but I find it hysterical and couldn’t resist. It dovetails nicely with Kaiser’s story about Gerard Butler’s pampered dog, too, because here’s another Hollywood player treating his dog nicer than the women he dates. (I didn’t do this story to copy Kaiser or anything, we just coincidentally have two dog stories today. Great minds!)

So Ryan Gosling has this big dog, George, that he adores and has been seen carrying around. He even brought his dog with him on the Jimmy Fallon show, where George was sporting a mohawk. (Really, you can see that here.) Ryan loves his dog so much that he’s brought him with him to yoga class. George of course disrupted everyone while they were trying to work out, probably by sniffing their butts when they were in the downward dog position. (yuck yuck!) Then George meandered over and peed in the corner, causing the instructor to order him out of the room. Ryan had the gall to bring bring George back another day to class though, where George was promptly banned. Bad dog!

Ryan Gosling… has been causing a ruckus in his West Hollywood yoga class by bringing along his beloved pooch George - who interrupts workouts by pestering people, barking and even marking his territory!

“Ryan is a great guy and everyone in class loves him, but they find it very disrespectful that he brings his dog,” revealed a gym insider. “Ryan put a mat next to him and attempted to get George to stay on it. But it only took about 30 seconds before George began walking around and disturbing people who were trying to concentrate on their workouts.

“The instructor finally asked Ryan to remove George from the room after the dog began relieving himself in the corner!”…

The worst part about the yoga fiasco, said the insider, is that…

“He actually tried to bring him to class again,” added the insider. “The instructor immediately told him George was not allowed back in class!”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, October 7, 2011]

I just love the image this puts in my head. It’s so absurd to bring a big dog to yoga class and for that dog to bug everyone and then go pee in the corner. It’s like a predictable scene from a romcom that still cracks you the hell up. I told my seven year old this story and we were laughing our asses off at it. If I were in that yoga class, though, I would be pissed off. Hopefully I wouldn’t be pissed on though. (Sorry I couldn’t resist!)

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds spotted making out at a train station in Boston

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 06:56 AM PDT

comic con green lantern 250710
Sometimes I get confused with all the random Hollywood hookups, especially lately when they seem to involve the two Ryans, Olivia Wilde and Blake Lively. (You could also throw Scarlett Johansson and Justin Timberlake in there.) Like both of the Ryans have allegedly hooked up with Blake and Olivia (not together although that would be hot), and we’ve heard rumors about the Ryans and about Olivia and Blake with various other people. It just feels like a spin the bottle game among this group. So that’s why I’m not surprised by this story that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are getting hot and heavy in the immediate wake of Blake’s breakup with Leonardo DiCaprio. We’ve already heard that they were together but I don’t expect to last. In a month or two it will blend together in my mind with all the other hookups among these people.

Hollywood Life has the news that Blake and Ryan were seen making out at a train station in Boston, where Blake was catching a 5am train back to New York. It was allegedly a goodbye makeout sess after a weekend holed up in Ryan’s Boston apartment.

Blake stayed the weekend at Ryan's Boston apartment and our eyewitness says when Ryan dropped Blake off at Boston's Back Bay Station on Oct.3 they couldn't keep their hands off each other!

What breakup? Blake Lively isn't sitting around crying over her recent split from Leonardo DiCaprio. We have an eyewitness who says that after the Gossip Girl shacked up at Ryan Reynold's apartment in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston, they were making out when he took her to catch her 5am train!

"Blake isn't upset or fazed by the breakup with Leo at all," our source says. "When Ryan took Blake to catch her train back to NYC they were making out and looked really happy together. Blake was wearing a big hat and it fell off as she made out with Ryan on the escalator at the train station. It was really early and he was even wheeling her suitcase for her! He wanted to make sure she caught the train so he waited until she got on."

Ryan and Blake reportedly ran into each other at the Radiohead concert in NYC. When they both realized that they needed to be in Boston for the weekend they decided to take the ritzy Acela train together. Ryan is in Boston shooting his upcoming flick R.I.P.D. and Blake needed to be at a cooking event at upscale sushi eatery O Ya. Ironically Ryan's ex-wife Scarlett Johansson was reportedly with Ryan at the concert when he ran into Blake.

"They kept kissing on the platform and looked like they were a couple," our source says. "It's clear she's over Leo, but as for how serious she is with Ryan? Who knows."

We reached out to both Blake and Ryan's reps and have yet to hear back.

[From Hollywood Life]

All the commenters at Hollywood Life are saying “pics or it didn’t happen,” but I could get how they could be spotted and someone would be too shy or too mesmerized to take a clear picture. Or this could be fan fiction, either way.

As Kaiser is always saying, Blake’s got game. She’s dating a dude whose career is on the wane, though, instead of her last boyfriend who was a big player in Hollywood. That’s one way to see it, although most women would jump at the chance to get with Reynolds. He strikes me as a lot more fun than DiCaprio, and as a really hot rebound. Plus I think he’s funny and I like how manic and self deprecating he is. He would be entertaining as a boyfriend.

This is a still from Green Lantern, the movie that starred Blake and Ryan and barely earned back its production budget this summer.

Beyonce’s video for “Countdown”: busted or beautiful?

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 06:53 AM PDT

wenn3526870

Here is Beyonce's new music video for "Countdown". First of all, I dislike the song. It seems all over the place, and… I don't know, I'm just not humming it. It's not a "get this dumb song stuck in your head" kind of song, which is what Beyonce specializes in. Secondly, the video is all over the place too. Beyonce jacks ("borrows") classic images from Funny Face, West Side Story, and many other films, plus lots of 1960s styling and the mother lode of wigs, wiglets, hairpieces, bangs trauma add-ons and weaves. I think Bey must have blown through her Wiglet Budget for 2011 with this video. The result is… visually intriguing, but I feel like Bey has done this a million times before ("this" being the 1960s stuff, plus stealing from other works). It just seems kind of boring:

Did you notice what I noticed? The discrepancy with the "bump"? In some of the shots, Beyonce is caressing what seems like a substantial "bump" and then in other shots, it's barely there. Don't even yell at me and say it's just the angles playing tricks with my eyes. Bitch is wearing padding when it's convenient for her. I really don't understand WHY she's doing it when it's so obvious. It's like when Katie Holmes was pregnant with Suri - I believed she was genuinely pregnant (just as I believe Beyonce is), but the discrepancies in the size of the bumps from month to month was so disturbing, and so obviously a padding issue. Ugh.

Oh, and Beyonce's TWEAKED FACE is killing me. It's killing me that no one major is calling her out on her major face work.

Kendall Jenner (Kardashian), 15, is a legit bikini model now: too young, or no big deal?

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 06:47 AM PDT

kendall-jenner-white-sands-100511-2
It bothers me that Kris Kardashian is starting to pimp out her two youngest daughters, Kylie and Kendall, from her current husband, Bruce Jenner. Both Kylie, 14, and Kendall, 15, have fledgling modeling careers, with Kylie modeling for Sears at 12 and doing sexy photo shoots when she was just 13 and Kendall doing inappropriate bikini photo shoots at 15 and modeling suggestively for commercial campaigns. Some people argue that models are usually this young when they start out and that it’s normal, but where Kris Kardashian is involved, I worry. Plus these girls star on a reality show, and they often hit the red carpet together looking very much like 20-something women. It seems like too much too soon, but that’s the Kardashians for you.

kendall-jenner-white-sands-100511-3
Anyway here’s more about Kendall’s career. She’s now modeling for an Australian bikini company, which make sense because she’s gorgeous and has legs up to there. Still, she’s fifteen! I know that’s typical for models but it bothers me. At least she turns 16 next month and doesn’t look emaciated or like she’s had a ton of plastic surgery like Ali Lohan.

She gave us a sneak peek at her shoot for Aussie swimwear brand White Sands in August, and now, Kim Kardashian's little sis Kendall Jenner is making waves with the official photos from the campaign.

In the images, shot in Los Angeles in July, Jenner channels a whimsical water nymph as she shows off the spring/summer 2012 collection of floral bikinis, deep cut maillots and caftans.

"The collection has both an ethereal and strong side and we wanted a model that could capture both," designer Leah Madden tells PEOPLE. "As we were casting for the campaign we came across Kendall's portfolio and loved her softness and strength. She actually made it to the top of our list before we knew her background!"

The 15-year-old continues to prove that she's a pro when it comes to posing both in front of the camera and on the catwalk — she even made her runway debut at New York Fashion Week last month. "Kendall was a delight on set and a natural in front of the camera," Madden adds of the model, who favored the floral prints and high-waisted bikinis — and even picked out some swimsuits to take home to her sisters.

[From People]

These aren’t string bikinis, but still. The mom in me wants to wipe the makeup off these girls and put them in cleats and soccer outfits. (They both do cheerleading at least.) I know I shouldn’t bother. They’re in this family, and this is all they’re ever going to know. According to this article, Kendall is even in on the family past time of scoring free swag.

Tilda Swinton: All moms worry “they’re going to give birth to the devil”

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 06:32 AM PDT

weneedtotalk2

Tilda Swinton appears in the November issue of British Vogue (the issue in which Rihanna dons a Marilyn Monroe wig) to discuss her upcoming movie, We Need to Talk About Kevin, that is directed by Lynne Ramsay and features a masterfully haunting combo performance by Tilda and the extremely creepy Ezra Miller, who plays her teenaged psychopathic son. Naturally, Tilda is rumored to already have a lock on all of the best actress awards; and because she’s Tilda, she’s already said quite a few words about how violent and bloody that the reality of motherhood can be and how she embraced the role of a less than perfect parent.

Before we leap into Tilda’s latest wisdom, let us — just for a moment — refresh our memories concerning a couple of sanctimonious statements from other Hollywood actresses on parenting. Jennifer Garner proclaimed that “[T]here’s no deeper want for a woman than to be a mother” while Gwyneth Paltrow announced that “[M]otherhood gives your life real meaning,” and then Michelle Williams added that parenting is “the ultimate creative act.” Well, Tilda believes that the act of mothering isn’t all fluffy and positive, and she drops a wondrous bomb — that every woman worries that “they’re going to give birth to the devil” — on some poor, likely-horrified journalist:

tildavogue1

She plays a long-suffering mother of a disturbed teenager who commits a shocking and terrifying act of violence on his class mates. But Tilda Swinton has revealed that her latest film has got nothing to do with parenting at all. Swinton, 50, plays Eva Khatchadourian in the film adaptation of the critically-acclaimed novel We Need To Talk About Kevin about a mother who comes to terms with her mass-murderer son.

And she said the film really deals with the fear from any new expectant mother that they may give birth to a monster. Speaking to Vogue in an interview, she said: “It’s got about as much to do with bringing up children as Rosemary’s Baby is about being pregnant.

“It’s everybody’s nightmare that, when they’re pregnant, they’re going to give birth to the devil. That when they bring up children, especially a boy, they’re going to give birth to this violence. What I find most intriguing about Eva is not that she gives birth to and raises this misanthropic and alienated, sociopathic child and that its really foreign and outside of herself. The thing that’s really the nightmare is that she recognises it only too well, because its hers, The misanthropy is hers. That violence is hers.”

She said she understood Eva giving up her marriage and her friendships to find her authenticity and said: “It’s part of the deal of motherhood. I think everyone must suffer, I think that’s the whole point. That’s what life is. I don’t think that’s a secret or anything to get het up about. I think that’s how life is. It’s about growth and change, and it’s the bargain. Something goes, something comes. You always get something back.”

Tilda also spoke to the magazine about her own children and a mother’s instinct to “put on a performance” of being an interested caring parent, and added: “I think it is all too common. It’s really hard not to give a performance for your kids. I remember when my children were very little; there’s that crossroads in the day where you think, ‘What do I do now?’ And sometimes it’s really hard to come up with something authentic.”

[From Daily Mail]

Isn’t that just hysterical? I mean, the subject matter of the movie isn’t funny at all, but it’s hilarious that Tilda one-upped the generally positive celebrity (outward) opinions on motherhood with an equally outrageous negative statement. Yes, she is generalizing about all mothers, but I think she’s doing so hyperbolically and not in a holier-than-thou way like how Garner and Paltrow issued their opinions. Sort of like, “You’re all worried about having devil spawn! Take that, bitches!” It’s such a ridiculous notion, but I have to admit that I really did sort of worry about having the worst child in the world when I was pregnant with my daughter. So far, she hasn’t turned out that way, but I’m not holding my breath for the teenage years for sure.

Back to Tilda though — here’s the theatrical trailer for We Need to Talk About Kevin. Be forewarned that Ezra Miller really wants to feature in your nightmares tonight.

Kim Kardashian’s 1970s-inspired all-white ensemble: tragic or cute?

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 06:31 AM PDT

fp_7982518_kardashianjenner_whiteout_aar_01_35

Before I forget, let me thank all of you for your support on that Eva Green-Ewan McGregor post. I too think they (and actors of their caliber) should be featured more and more, and I promise to continue bringing those kinds of people to you. That being said, it's kind of hard to proclaim that we'll never cover Kardashian news ever again. Especially not when Kim Kardashian walks the NYC streets looking like she's about to join Mick Jagger at Studio 54. WTF? Did Evan Rachel Wood send out a memo about these dumb floppy hats?!?

fp_7982802_kardashianjenner_whiteout_aar_05_35

The Daily Mail points out that back in the 1970s, Cher wore a famous all-white ensemble with a floppy hat too. It's especially funny because just this week, Cher might have said that the Kardashians need to be drop-kicked down a freeway. That's what it seemed like on Cher's Twitter, although Cher did try to backtrack and claim that she meant Bridezillas or something. The Kim K.-Cher thing is also funny because if Kim tweaks herself any more, she's going to have Cher's current cat-face. Sad.

Did you hear about Kim's new purchase? She just bought herself a $325,000 Ferrari - in white. Because she's a bride, I think, and everything has to be WHITE. White for purity. For innocence. For youth and virginity. Anyway, you can see Kim's new 458 Italia Ferrari here - it's pretty and completely unnecessary.

Last piece of Kim news (because I don't want to write about her again today): she's being accused of stealing her jewelry designs for her new line, Belle Noel. Jeweler Alexis Bittar claims Kim's line looks "very similar" to his, and "They [the Kardashians] are not designers and they are just stealing. I passed the Dash pop up store on Broadway, and I saw that Kim's pieces were very similar to mine, and she definitely has been taking note (of my designs). The tricky thing is that we have sent pieces to Kim in the past to wear, so now I have told my staff we cannot send anything to her." Wow, who would have guessed it? The Kardashians can't do ANYTHING.

Luke Wilson shows off his noticeable weight gain at the ‘Enlightened’ premiere

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 06:23 AM PDT

wenn3548560

I already know that I'm going to be yelled at for pointing this out, but in my defense, it would be big news if a celebrity woman walked her first red carpet in more than a year and showed off her noticeable weight gain. These are photos of Luke Wilson at last night's premiere of the new Showtime show Enlightened, which Luke appears in. Luke has gained noticeable weight. But I was looking through all of the photos of him, and it's not like he has some beer-and-nacho-gut. Most of the weight seemed to go directly to his face. What does this mean? Is it the result of some kind of medication that I shouldn't even speculate about? Or is it just too much beer and pot and refried beans and butter?

wenn3548511

Despite his reportedly douchey attitude at times, I've always sort of liked Luke Wilson. I was recently watching The Royal Tenenbaums for the millionth time, and I was reminded again of how talented he is. He's an underrated actor. I suspect that he's not very ambitious, though. Eh. It's not the worst thing.

As for this new show, Enlightened, it sounds… meh. Laura Dern plays a woman who has an affair with her married boss, and the boss transfers her out. Thus begins her character's "journey of self-discovery" which includes Hawaiian vacations and counseling and new-found "bliss". Luke plays Dern's pothead ex-husband. It sounds meh to me. You can read more about it here.

Here's what Luke looked like back in April of 2010:
