Scarlett Johansson admits feeling “depressed” during divorce, hating “stagnation”

Posted: 18 Oct 2011 09:17 AM PDT

scarjogqgermany

Scarlett Johansson has embarked upon a bit of a German PR extravaganza, although I cannot figure out what film project she could possibly be promoting other than We Bought A Zoo, but that movie doesn’t come out in Germany until February (and in the U.S. in late December). Perhaps Scarlett is merely promoting her boobs, which are hanging out all over the cover of GQ Germany without any interview tidbits released thus far, so who knows?

In addition, Scarlett has done an interview with Germany’s Gala publication, so some excerpts are available thanks to the power of Google Translate. Until now, we’ve only heard a few sparse details about the dissolution of Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds’ two-year marriage, and those statements came from the dude perspective in the relationship. Now, Scarlett has opened up a bit about the depression she suffered after the split and who she turned to for support. Well, other than Sean Penn, who was only around for a few months before they broke up either because she’s too clingy or he told her to go back to school. Anyway, back to the business of Scarlett and Ryan:

On Coping With Divorce: At first I was quite depressed. After about a week or so I pulled myself together and started to go to the gym all the time. Luckily, I’ve got a few very close girlfriends who have been by my side for 15 years now, who I can talk to about everything and confide in. I’ve got a close relationship with my twin brother Hunter as well. And then there’s my grandmother Dorothy. She recently turned 89 - she’s an incredibly sweet, lovely and wise woman.

On Her Relationship Flaws: I will only tell you this: I can be overcritical - with myself and with other people. And I don’t compromise… I pass judgment on people quite quickly. If I don’t agree with someone or if I’m annoyed I will tell people to their face - no matter how hurtful that might be. That can get me into trouble from time to time. When that happens, my friends have to hold me back and say, “Scarlett, you can’t say that!” I’m also incredibly impatient - regarding my job, my family and men. I want things to progress. I hate stagnation!

[From Gala.de]

Now that part of hating stagnation is interesting. Was she referring to wanting to move forward with Ryan into making gerbil babies? I highly doubt that. Could she possibly have been referring to wanting a more serious relationship with Sean Penn beyond sex, toupees, and chain smoking? Quite possibly, but that ship has sailed since Penn has been dating Shannon Costello for the past several months.

At this point though, I think Scarlett is over both Ryan and Sean or, at the very least, she’s distracted enough with filming The Avengers to take some much needed personal time for herself before jumping into another bad relationship. Scarlett’s been photographed by herself a few times this month, including this snap taken outside the NYC Plaza hotel. Her awkward foot placement reminds me of the ankle-snapping pose at the White House Correspondents Dinner:

Here, Scarlett goes incognito with her iPhone and an apple. She sort of pulls it off, but her mouth is a dead giveaway.

Britney Spears gets it on with Jason Trawick in her new video for “Criminal”

Posted: 18 Oct 2011 08:56 AM PDT

Take one part Mr. and Mrs. Smith, one part Thelma & Louise, and one part modernized Bonnie & Clyde, add some lighting wizardry and some high-quality weaves, and you've got the new music video for Britney Spears's "Criminal". First - I kind of like the song. Secondly, I kind of like the video too. It's weird and funny and it costars Jason Trawick as Britney's fantasy "Criminal" lover. They get their sex on. It's both funny and slightly hot - Trawick isn't much of an actor, but I now completely buy that he and Britney have dirty, Cheeto-covered sex on the regular. Here's the video - the music doesn't start until about the 1:30 mark.

Like, why London? Britney's "character" is American, as is Jason's "character". Why are they in robbing stores in England? And why do the stores look so American? And why are the Metro police so gun happy? This must be the "controversy" over the film - the guns and the nudity. Welcome back, Brit!

So… it's a cute video. It's one of her better videos from the past few years, truly. I think we should give Jason some credit for that.

George Clooney didn’t come to Stacy Keibler’s birthday dinner

Posted: 18 Oct 2011 08:24 AM PDT

fp_8032178_barm_premiere_10_13

Two nights ago, Stacy Keibler and George Clooney walked their first red carpet together, arm-in-arm, at the New York Film Festival premiere of The Descendants. Most people thought that there was something awkward about Clooney and Keibler's body language, but people also thought that it was a good sign for Keibler that she was getting the official girlfriend-rollout. I even noted that it looked like Clooney bought Stacy some hair and makeup people, because her styling is improving (although there's still a ways to go).

Anyway, the New York papers have some interesting information about what went on beyond the red carpet for Keibler and Clooney. According to Gatcrasher, Clooney didn't even both showing up at Stacy's 32nd birthday dinner on Saturday night. Stacy went to dinner with her parents at Catch, while Clooney was God knows where. Now, before you start screaming "They have a contract! That's why he didn't show up!" - I should point out that it seems like Clooney celebrated Stacy's birthday with her one week ago, when he took Stacy and her friends to Cabo. So maybe Clooney didn't feel like doing the dinner-with-parents thing. Especially because they have a contract? And because Page Six points out that Clooney was at another dinner that night. Here's more weirdness that is Clooney & Keibler:

George Clooney sneaked out of the official after-party for his much-buzzed-about "The Descendants" for a romantic Manhattan dinner date with girlfriend Stacy Keibler. The superstar joined castmates Shailene Woodley, Matthew Lillard and Beau Bridges for a celebration at Time Warner Center's Stone Rose Lounge on Sunday night after the Alexander Payne-directed movie closed the New York Film Festival.

While charming guests, Clooney kept a close eye on his phone while waiting for stunning blonde Stacy, who had earlier walked with him on the red carpet, to arrive. He was seen hugging her before they headed for dinner.

A spy told us, "George was so eager to find Stacy that he rushed right past her in the crowd on his way out of the party. Once outside, he started texting her again and sent one of his bodyguards to look for her. George then couldn't fight a smile as he saw her, in her long black dress, walking out towards him."

Even though it was midnight, the pair then headed downstairs to Landmarc for dinner, with a few other close friends.

Clooney has been juggling celebrations for his two Oscar hopefuls, "The Descendants" and "The Ides of March," with former wrestler and model Keibler's 32nd birthday.

On Saturday, while Keibler dined with her parents at Catch, "The Bourne Legacy" director Tony Gilroy hosted a dinner at '21' for Clooney, with guests including Oliver Stone, Jeremy Renner, Julianna Margulies, Joan Collins and Olivia Wilde.

Clooney was driven right through the Occupy Wall Street protests in Times Square to get to the event, and the usually unflappable actor exclaimed, "I just drove through 500 cops!" Later Payne shocked the room when he began speaking Greek with two well-heeled guests.

A rep for Clooney, who jetted to Paris last night for today's premiere of "Ides," was not available for comment.

[From Page Six]

So, Clooney was at another event and Stacy decided to just go to dinner with her folks and have a quiet night. No biggie. What are your thoughts on the whole "he started texting her again and sent one of his bodyguards to look for her" bit, though? They need to get organized. When she's his date at these industry events, she needs to stay closer to him instead of trying to talk about famine with Bono. She just doesn't realize that her job is to cling to Clooney! I wrote that half-jokingly, but it's kind of true. At the end of the day, I’m still buying that Stacy and George are a “real” couple, I just think that they aren’t in sync with each other - yet. They’ve only been going out a few months.

Kim Kardashian’s black & white gown: pretty or cat-faced panda?

Posted: 18 Oct 2011 07:50 AM PDT

fp_8036956_kardashian_kim_cwny_07_11

When I first glanced through these photos of Kim Kardashian, I swear my immediate thought was "cat-faced panda". It's something weird/particular about Kim's white and black dress when she pairs it with the black stole/wrap - she really does look like a giant cat-faced panda. Anyway, these are photos of Kim at last night's Angel Ball, where she paid tribute to her late father, Robert Kardashian. Kim did the event and the carpet with her BFF Lala Vasquez. Why didn't Kris Humphries come? Because their marriage is already in shambles?

wenn3563184

So, thoughts on the overall look? Kim makes expensive gowns looks budget normally, and it's the same situation here. Plus, she's got her hair pulled too tight - I hate it when she wears her hair in tight buns, always. The makeup is overdone too. So… overall, it's just busted.

I'm also adding some photos of Solange Knowles and her look (meh) and Naomi Campbell in Alexander McQueen. Naomi came with her married lover!

Jennifer Aniston in gray Kaufmanfranco: the best she’s looked in months?

Posted: 18 Oct 2011 07:23 AM PDT

wenn3563045

For the most part, when everyone is going on and on about how great Jennifer Aniston looks, I truly feel a sense of mystery. Sure, she has a great figure, and her commitment to blowouts and blonde highlights are legendary. But her style can be hit-or-miss, and the combination of everything she puts together usually gives me a big "meh". Now, all that being said, I LOVE the way she looked at last night's Elle Magazine event. As you remember, Aniston was selected as the cover girl for their "Women In Hollywood" issue, and so she was one of the biggest names at the event.

fp_8036724_rij_elle_women_89_139

Aniston selected this metallic gray Kaufmanfranco mini-dress which looks absolutely stunning on her. I've always said that she should try bolder colors, but now I'm saying that she should definitely wear more metallics and grays. I'm not even put off by the "look at my boobs" vibe of the dress - in fact, I rather like it. If you're going to do a deep-V-neck, this is one of the best ways to do it - covered arms, a skirt the perfect length, and then hit 'em with the cleavage. Basically, I would love to own this dress. It's beautiful and sexy and perfect for her. And don't even start with the pregnancy rumors, either. Those are her normal boobs. They are not pregnant-boobs. Basically, this is the best she's looked in MONTHS.

fp_8036722_rij_elle_women_87_139

wenn3563009

Guess who else was at the Elle event? Chelsea Handler, Jennifer's BFF. Chelsea is a "woman in Hollywood" now, because she's an "actress" now! Chelsea looks okay (for her). The skirt doesn't fit her, but the colors are pretty. And her face looks less busted too. Well done, Chelsea.

Demi Moore shows off her thin frame & wedding ring: busted & sympathetic?

Posted: 18 Oct 2011 07:20 AM PDT

wenn3563282

Last night was the premiere of the long-gestating film, Margin Call. We'll have the buffet of hot dudes in a moment - this post is just about Demi Moore, who appears in a supporting part in the film (which is about the financial crisis). Demi wore this red Zac Posen which… under normal circumstances, on a woman with a great figure, would be nice, although perhaps slightly boring and wallpaper-like. On Demi, it's pretty bad.

Everybody is now talking about how rough Demi looks, and how she was wearing her wedding ring for the premiere. So… she's still with Ashton. They're working their stuff out, and as if we needed further evidence that all of this has been really hard on Demi, she looks drawn, tired, incredibly slim and kind of druggy too. Maybe she really does have a substance abuse problem? Or maybe she's just having a terrible time with her marriage, and she's not eating.

I really do feel bad for her. I would have more sympathy if she just got out of her marriage and told Ashton to GTFO, but as the situation seems now… I feel bad for her. It's rather brave of her to walk the red carpet solo, looking like a mess, when everyone knows your husband has been having hot tub sex with some Vegas skank.

Duchess Kate sends a letter to a 9-year-old kid with cancer

Posted: 18 Oct 2011 07:10 AM PDT

wenn3536100

A few weeks ago, Duchess Kate and Prince William opened up a children's cancer unit at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London. It was a big event, considering Kate's royal duties have been overwhelmingly "light" and she hadn't done a public event in more than a month. She looked very pretty in a cream dress and she and William unveiled a plaque and they met with some of the sick kids who would (sadly) be needing the new cancer ward. There were some photos of Kate looking engaged with the kids (you can see some here) and it gave people hope that Kate will be able to meet some of the expectations being thrust upon her to become the next "People's Princess". Personally, I thought William look more engaged and interested in the kids, and Kate, like always, was just following his lead.

Anyway, it seems that after the royal trip, Kate wrote a letter to one of the children she met, and the child's father released the letter to the public. There's a low-res image/copy below:

waity11

It's interesting that the text is typed, right? Do you think Kate typed it up, or do you think it was actually written by someone else and Kate just signed it? I'm just saying - several royals write their own letters, in longhand. Princess Diana wrote in longhand. I'm just sayin'. Here's more:

After visiting the children’s cancer unit at the Royal Marsden Hospital with Prince William last month, the Duchess of Cambridge has sent a heartfelt letter to a patient she met there.

Fabian Bate, 9, received a personal note – written on St. James Palace letterhead and dated Oct. 13 – from Kate on Friday, and posted it on his blog.

“I was so touched by your strength of character,” the Duchess writes. “I will keep my fingers crossed that your health goes from strength to strength.”

Writing she will keep the boy, who has leukemia, and his parents in her “thoughts and prayers,” Kate praises the work of the hospital and Fabian’s “belief and positive energy.”

“For us as a family it was a massive boost to know that we have someone at Kate’s level sharing our journey,” Fabian’s father, Darrell Bate, 49, tells PEOPLE. “The thought that someone in her position would take that personal interest is a real hope-builder.”

The letter arrived at the Bate household on Friday, just as Fabian returned home from an eight-day stay at the hospital. “It came special delivery with the Buckingham Palace postmark,” Darrell said. “We realized it wasn’t the average tax bill!”

Meeting Kate and receiving her letter was “a good distraction” for Fabian, his dad says. “This is something to talk about with our family and friends,” he says. “It’s a real morale booster and it was really quite personalized to him and he has something to cherish for years to come.”

Fabian, who was first diagnosed with leukemia in 2006, relapsed earlier this year. A test this week will determine whether he’ll be ready as early as December to receive a bone-marrow transplant from one of two sisters who’ve been found to be a perfect match.

“If [Kate] is going to take the trouble to follow our little family situation with everything else going on in the world, it makes Fabian feel special,” his father says. “It gives him a bit more fight to be honest.”

[From People]

It was nice of Kate to write to one of the kids (or order her press secretary to write up a letter for her to sign). I'll stop being negative! It was a good thing, the end. I'm sure the kid appreciates it and his family will probably frame the letter.

In other Will & Kate news, Prime Minister David Cameron has a plot to, at long last, modernize one part of the monarchy. Cameron is proposing a change to rules of succession, so that if Will and Kate's first born child is a daughter, that daughter will automatically take the throne after her father. As it stands now, if Kate's firstborn was a girl, she would have to keep trying for a boy, and if it didn't happen… then Prince Harry would be next in line to the throne…? Is that the way it works? I think, maybe. Anyway, the Queen is backing Cameron's plan, and it's pretty likely that it will go through. Which means… if Kate and Will have a girl and they name that girl Diana (you know they will), there will be a Queen Diana on the throne. For real.

Why has January Jones’s baby-daddy drama come back to Michael Fassbender?

Posted: 18 Oct 2011 07:09 AM PDT

fp_8034415_jonesjanuary_foodtogo_ars_03_09

Here are some new photos of January Jones, out and about in Pasadena. January is like the new poster girl for prenatal yoga. This hussy was ALWAYS at prenatal yoga when she was knocked up, and wouldn't you know? Her body bounced back instantly after giving birth. Put her on the posters, I swear.

Anyway, I cannot believe the emails and comments I've been getting about January and her baby. Jan and her little X-Man (Xander!) were photographed recently, although we didn't have access to those pics - you can see them here, at INF Daily. Xander looks… like a baby. He barely has any hair, but what's there looks kind of light brown to me. But too many of you bitches have been yelling at me, claiming that this baby is a ginger, and because Xander is a ginger, that means this baby is half-Fassbender. BITCHES PLEASE.

Now, when January was still gestating, I devoted a lot of time and energy to what I considered the best living blind item of the year. January kept her mouth shut, for better and for worse, and the speculation, blind items and "reports" kept going and going. Sure, I had Michael Fassbender in the running, but it's widely known that he was boning Zoe Kravitz as soon as he met her on the X-Men: First Class set. Other possibilities named (for better or for worse): James McAvoy, Olivier Platt (ha!), John Slattery, Ashton Kutcher, Kevin Bacon, Bobby Flay and I even threw Jack Nicholson into the running (Jack and January are friendly). But when it came down to it, January's X-Men director Matthew Vaughn (husband of Claudia Schiffer) was the best candidate, a theory and rumor which he has denied and which his lawyers are prepared to sue over. So, Vaughn ("Crumpets McMoneyDong") is definitely NOT (cough, cough) the father.

So now that we've seen little X, why is everybody trippin' out and claiming that Fassie MUST be the daddy? Fassie likes dark, passionate, crazy girls, and I truly can't see him messing around with January's cold, vanilla bitchery. And the baby isn't even a ginger - at least, I'm not convinced Xander is a ginger. Yet. But even if he is… um, hello, BOBBY FLAY?

Gwen Stefani: “The makeup goes on every day, even if I’m not going anywhere”

Posted: 18 Oct 2011 07:09 AM PDT

gwen1

I could have sworn that Gwen Stefani was just recently the cover girl for InStyle, but I must have hallucinated that. She's the magazine's November cover girl, and surprisingly enough, I kind of love the photo shoot. Usually I find InStyle's shoots too airbrushed and not really that stylish, but Gwen looks great here. As I was looking through the photos, I realized how crazy it is that she's 42. She's looked the same for more than a decade, and I think she could easily pass for a woman in her late 20s. Maybe it's all of the makeup. Maybe it's her youthful spirit. Maybe it's just great genes. Here are some highlights from the interview:

Gwen on being a mom: “Being a mother is probably the most challenging thing I do.”

Gwen on finding balance: "At work I've learned how to delegate. You don't have to be on a ladder in a warehouse, micromanaging. You can be at home. And teamwork is also such a big part of marriage and parenting."

On making time for her sons: "The thing I'd like to do is enjoy these boys while they're young - so I don't regret I was working too much when they're big and don't want to cuddle with me anymore."

Her trademark blonde: "My hair color is L'Oréal, but I won't reveal the number. And I do my roots as often as Marilyn Monroe did hers. I'm serious. I found out."

The one time she went red: "Right after we came home from the first No Doubt tour I felt like I might get recognized, so I colored my hair red. And I hated it."

Her makeup: "The makeup goes on every day, even if I'm not going anywhere."

[From InStyle]

I always find it interesting that Gwen is so old-fashioned about "putting on her face" as we in the South say. My mother is just like that too - she will not leave the house without a full face of makeup (even when she's sick, even when she's going to the hospital) and it honestly doesn't make a bit of difference. She looks pretty much the same, with or without makeup. As for Gwen, I'm sure she does look different without "her face" on, but I suspect she looks even younger, honestly. Previously, Gwen has claimed: "I like to wear make-up for Gavin and I don’t feel energized till I’ve put it on, then I’m ready to go." I think that's BS - she's not wearing makeup for Gavin, she's wearing it for herself.

Katherine Heigl at the Elle Women in Hollywood event: much improved or manic?

Posted: 18 Oct 2011 06:46 AM PDT

fp_8036693_rij_elle_women_5
We’re covering the fashion of last night’s Elle’s Women in Hollywood event in three different posts as there were so many celebrities there. Kaiser has already mentioned Jennifer Aniston’s hot dress along with some of the other big names, Like Reese Witherspoon and Evan Rachel Wood. I’ll be covering some of the other celebrities here along with my favorite TV personalities.

First off we have Katherine Heigl in a beaded little black dress. It’s a bit “mature” looking, but it’s not bad at all for her. She looks very good, if kind of crazed here. I like what she’s done with her short hair too. Her husband Josh Kelly came with her and looked almost as thrilled to be there. After seeing these photos, I’m convinced that things are fine with them.

fp_8036686_rij_elle_women_5

fp_8036689_rij_elle_women_5

Jayma Mays in a one-shoulder ruched blue dress with ruffle detail. Compared to some of the horribly frumpy things she’s worn on the red carpet, this was a vast improvement. Her hair is gorgeous and that sideswept looked is popular now. Her eye makeup is a little overdone, but overall this was a win for Jayma.

fp_8036647_rij_elle_women_1

fp_8036646_rij_elle_women_1

Busy Phillips looked a little goofy with that very tight, very high little bun on her head. I want to give her a pass for just looking so happy and cute though. She’s adorable in this very simple black dress paired with silver jewelry. What was she thinking with those purple shoes?

fp_8036644_rij_elle_women_0

fp_8036643_rij_elle_women_0

Matthew McConaughey’s squeeze Camila Alves had her pose on in a navy blue polka dot retro-style dress. She used to be a model, so I guess that could explain her sourpuss face. I love the dress, hair and makeup. The shoes and purse aren’t my favorite.

fp_8036657_rij_elle_women_2

fp_8036655_rij_elle_women_2

Erika Christensen of “Parenthood” looked really drab. I love her on that show, she’s one of my favorite actresses. What happened to her here? I wear more makeup and do more to my hair to go to the store on a daily basis. She’s a Scientologist I’m sorry to say, but she was raised in it. Also, here’s her date:

fp_8036710_rij_elle_women_7

fp_8036709_rij_elle_women_7

fp_8037747_christensen_erik

In contrast, Gillian Jacobs from another one of my shows, “Community,” was way overdone. The bottom half of that dress would be cute with a nice solid color panel at the top, but the contrasting patterns and colors are just ridiculous. Paired with that makeup and poofy hair and she looks unhinged.

fp_8036640_rij_elle_women_0

fp_8036478_rij_elle_women_0

Amber Heard, Johnny Depp’s costar in the upcoming Rum Diaries, was a study in color. I’m perplexed at how an otherwise gorgeous girl can pair a form-fitting pepto pink dress with matte scarlet lips, brown eyeshadow, too-yellow hair and black t-strap heels and end up looking like this. It’s like all the lovely parts are there, but they don’t work together.

fp_8036700_rij_elle_women_6

fp_8036698_rij_elle_women_6

Elizabeth Olsen wore a silver tent-like Calvin Klein gown. It doesn’t do much for her, but I love how genuinely happy she looks here, and her makeup is so striking.

fp_8036668_rij_elle_women_3

fp_8036667_rij_elle_women_3

Abigail Breslin is still only 15! I can’t believe it, as I had to look it up and assumed she was 17-something by now. She had on a very tasteful loose orange dot dress paired with a canary colored clutch and nude heels. She’s wearing too much makeup for her age, but she looks cute here.

fp_8036760_rij_elle_women_1

fp_8036759_rij_elle_women_1

Naomi Watts in a nude-colored v-neck gown. The color washes her out, but she looks so hot. I love her hair and makeup, except her mascara is really clumpy. That’s happened to me when I let a makeup counter person do my mascara. I expect Naomi had something similar happen with her makeup artist.
