Kate Winslet and Ned Rocknroll launch taxpayer funded spaceport for Virgin

Posted: 19 Oct 2011 09:08 AM PDT

Kate Winslet has been dating a hipster douche named Ned Rocknroll for about two months. You may think it’s harsh to label him as such, but he just happens to be married (he just filed for divorce, but still the timeline is sketchy) and to have changed his name to “Ned Rocknroll.” Even if he did that on a whim when he was young and stupid, changing your name is not like getting a tattoo. You can change it back. Mr. Rocknroll is the nephew of Virgin billionaire Richard Branson and has some job working for his uncle on that Virgin Galactic commercial spaceflight venture that we always seem to be hearing about that never seems to go anywhere.

As part of his job, Rocky and Kate went to the opening ceremony for a spaceport in New Mexico from which the Virgin spaceflights will launch at some point, they’re saying next year but I doubt it. The thing that bugged me was that this spaceport, which cost $209 million, was paid for by our taxes. I guess I shouldn’t care that we don’t have a manned space program anymore, since we’re making ports to enable space flights for the select few that can afford them, or who are high profile enough to get publicity for Virgin by showing up. Like Kate Winslet! Oh I should get the stick out of my ass, the government pays for airports they may as well pay for spaceports. Way of the future and all that. Here’s the story from People:

Looks like she’s part of the family!

Kate Winslet was on the arm of her new boyfriend, Ned Rocknroll, at Monday’s grand opening of his Uncle Richard Branson’s commercial spaceport in New Mexico.

The couple, who have been linked since meeting in August at Branson’s Necker Island home, were photographed at the opening ceremony, during which Branson repelled from a balcony and swigged champagne, the Associated Press reports.

The British billionaire was launching Spaceport America in a remote New Mexico desert. It’s the site from which he plans to stage his commercial space tourism venture, Virgin Galactic, which employs Ned.

Winslet, 35, and Rocknroll, who legally changed his name from Ned Abel Smith, 33, also have been spotted together in London.

And here’s more on the spaceport, from the AP:

Before getting to enter the hangar, the crowd was treated to a flyover by WhiteKnightTwo, the mothership that one day will help take space tourists on suborbital flights.

The $209 million taxpayer-financed spaceport will be a launch station for people and payloads on the rocket ships being developed for Virgin Galactic.

With custom metal paneling and massive panes of glass, the state-of-the-art terminal rises from the desert floor to face the nearly 2-mile concrete runway.

The building will house Virgin Galactic's spacecraft, mission control and a preparation area for travelers.

It was six years ago that Virgin Galactic and New Mexico officials reached an agreement to build the spaceport. Officials said the completion of the terminal and hangar marks another major milestone that brings the dream of rocketing tourists into space closer to reality.

Still, the question many are asking is when the first ships will launch from Spaceport America. It was Branson who once predicted the maiden passenger flight would take off in 2007.

Branson acknowledged the wait in an interview Monday. He and his two children will be among the first to fly, and he said he wants to ensure he can bring them home safely.

"We want to be sure we've really tested the craft through and through before turning it over to the astronauts who bought tickets to go up,'' he said. "If it takes a bit longer, we'll take a little bit longer.''

Commercial service will start up after the company gets a license from the Federal Aviation Administration. NASA has already signed a $4.5 million contract with the company for up to three chartered research flights.

Tickets for rides aboard WhiteKnightTwo cost $200,000. The 2 ½-hour flights will include about five minutes of weightlessness and views of Earth that until now only astronauts have been able to experience.

Like development of the spacecraft, construction of the 110,152-square-foot terminal and hangar facility has been complicated. There were delays, building code problems, contractor disputes and costly change orders.

[From AP via Boston.com]

Well I guess they’ll go into space eventually. I’m predicting 2015 even though the spacecraft is supposedly ready at this point. Kate and Rocky will be broken up by then, but maybe she’ll score tickets to the maiden voyage before that happens. $200k is nothing to scoff at.

And here’s Kate and Rocky at the real airport in San Francisco over the weekend. He carries her bags, I’ll give him that.

Julie Bowen’s neon pillowcase dress: unflattering or cute (on someone else)?

Posted: 19 Oct 2011 08:53 AM PDT

Here's the thing: I genuinely like Julie Bowen as a person. In interviews, she's smart and cool and she never gets all Mother-Mafia like so many Hollywood moms. I also think Julie - when she's at her best - is very, very pretty. I know a lot of guys who think she's hot - I think it's a combination of "cuteness" and accessibility. Like, she looks like a MILF most dudes would actually run into.

Here's the other thing: Julie Bowen is a train wreck on the red carpet. She wears too much makeup, she doesn't know what colors flatter her skin tone and hair, she doesn't get stuff tailored for her body, and her default style is just… bad. These are photos of Julie last night at a David Yurman event in LA. It's not that the dress and shoes are bad - CB thinks the outfit is really cute, and I think it would have been good on someone with different coloring. It really is that Julie Bowen simply doesn't know how to dress herself. Does she have a stylist? If she does, she needs a new one. This dress looks like an airy, neon pillowcase on Julie's too-slender frame.

By the way, what do you think of the new season of Modern Family? I LOVED the second episode of the season, where Lily kept saying "I'm gonna kill the baby." I'm still laughing over that. But I dislike the direction for Claire - she was already so manic and scattered, and they're really turning her into such a shrew, right? And I'm not sure what to think about Claire's housewife-to-politician career path. Hopefully the writing will get stronger for Claire. Fingers crossed.

Danny Masterson & Bijou Phillips marry in a Xenu-approved ceremony

Posted: 19 Oct 2011 08:36 AM PDT

After nearly a decade of dating, Danny Masterson and Bijou Phillips have finally married each other in a ceremony set in the Irish countryside. The pair initially got engaged in March 2009, but work-related commitments kept them from setting aside the time to tie the knot. Well that, and the fact that they were scheduled to marry in April 2010 in Iceland, but the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano threw a little wrench into that well-crafted soiree. Perhaps the delay was all part of Xenu’s master plan, for the couple are very well-known as “devout Scientologists.” In particular, Bijou has been quite vocal about parroting the words of L. Ron Hubbard in the not-so-distant past:

It’s hard not to mention that both Masterson and Phillips are devout Scientologists. At one point, Phillips goes off on a long tangent about the dangers of psychiatrists medicating patients for depression or anxiety. “My grandparents didn’t take any pills and they were fine. Just buck up and get over it. Stop being such a f–king pansy,” she says, her bird-like voice taking on a deeper tone.

[From Paper Magazine]

Nice attitude, right? Bijou is very lucky that she’s never experienced the overwhelming depths of depression. God forbid she ever decides to have a child and experiences the hell of post-partum depression either. Of course, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, and even Scientologists deserve to have happy weddings too:

Danny Masterson and his girlfriend of eight years, Bijou Phillips, tied the knot Tuesday before an intimate group of family and friends in the Irish countryside, their rep confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.

In a nod to Masterson’s Irish heritage, the couple had a formal wedding at a private castle, the picturesque setting of Tipperary serving as their backdrop, during a weeklong celebration.

Phillips, 31, wore a custom Zac Posen gown and Masterson, 35, donned Albert Hammond Jr. for Confederacy.

The groom’s brother Chris Masterson served as best man and guests included actors Ben Foster, Mike Pena and Ethan Suplee and acclaimed artist Gottfried Helnwein.

Masterson proposed to Phillips, his costar in several films, in March 2009.

[From People]

Despite the whole Scientology angle involving Bijou’s horrific stance on the wog world and the evils of psychiatry, she and Danny do appear to be quite devoted to each other. So here’s to sincerely wishing them a long and happy union together.

I do, however, find it interesting that Bijou is a smoker, since addictions are a big “no no” for the CO$. She should stop being such a pansy and just put down the cigarette.

Tilda Swinton attends Milan event with her 18-years-younger lover

Posted: 19 Oct 2011 08:20 AM PDT

Here are some new photos of Tilda Swinton in Milan for the launch of Vertu's "Constellation". I have no idea what that is or what it means. It doesn't matter. What matters is that Tilda was there with the likes of Clive Owen, Uma Thurman, David Gandy and many more. Clive Owen and David Gandy were at the same event. GAH. WITH TILDA. That's amazing. Unfortunately for Gandy and Owen, Tilda probably wasn't interested in them. Tilda brought along her young lover, Sandro Kopp, as her date. As you may know, Tilda happily exists in a long-standing menage a trois situation with her baby-daddy John Byrne (who is about 70 years old) and with her young love, Sandro, who is about 32 (Tilda is 50). Very few women could pull this off with the kind of aplomb Tilda manages.

Tilda also has a new interview with a British paper, Metro. She's still talking about We Need To Talk About Kevin, and here are some highlights:

Playing a harrowing role: "There's nothing harrowing about it for me. It's much easier to shoot a harrowing film than to watch one."

On her Oscar: "I can't imagine it would hinder things so I'm not complaining but it's sort of…Irrelevant. It doesn't really figure in my life."

She hates the word "career": "People who have careers set out to have careers. I always find that very admirable and awe-inspiring, this idea of shooting an arrow with a thread attached way into the future and then pulling yourself up, but I never had that sense. I don't want to sound ungrateful but I am literally making it up as I go along."

She never considered herself particularly compelling: "I was always aware of being reassuringly unattractive."

'Tilda-lite' work on Burn After Reading & Narnia: "I call that tourism because it's really easy for me. It's very lightweight on the diary. I'll put on a costume and play with some friends and then I'll come home."

How she feels about acting: "I'm really not interested in it. Still not. And I've given up waiting for an epiphany of interest to strike. But I am interested in wondering about people."

[From Metro]

I get kind of tired of Tilda bitching about how she's "not interested" in acting, but to give her the benefit of the doubt, she's been doing a hell of a lot of press for Kevin, and I think she's mostly tired of that. Or maybe she really is that apathetic about acting. As for the "irrelevance" of her Oscar… that's going to hurt her chances for winning the Lead Actress Oscar this year. I'm sure she's guaranteed a nomination for Kevin, but she might only win if she plays the Hollywood game a bit more. Of course, if she played the game, we wouldn't love her so much.

I'm including some pics of Uma Thurman and David Gandy too.

Gabriel Aubry’s time with Nahla must remain supervised: why?

Posted: 19 Oct 2011 07:43 AM PDT

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry's war of attrition has not ended. It's just gotten somewhat more low-key, although I'm of the opinion that Halle is still waging a PR campaign against Gabriel in the tabloids. One of the most recent items ended up in Star Magazine last month, in which a "witness" claimed that Gabriel had used racist slurs against Halle in the heat of an argument, and that Gabriel always denied that Nahla was anything other than white. Those arguments are consistent with what Halle's team claimed in the heat of their custody dispute, and unfortunately for all involved (especially Nahla), it looks like some of the claims are sticking. Halle and Gabriel's lawyers met once again in court on Monday to work out some kinks in the custody agreement. As the agreement stands now, Gabriel is not allowed to have unsupervised overnight custody of Nahla - and Gabriel's lawyers wanted that changed. Gabriel's lawyers did not win.

The custody battle between Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry over their beautiful daughter, Nahla, wages on with no visible end in sight.

Attorneys for the warring couple were back in court Monday in Los Angeles, and it was a sweet victory for the 45-year-old actress, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

Aubry had requested an amendment to his visitation rights, which currently insist that the bulk of his time with his three-year-old daughter be supervised by a third party, but the judge ruled in favor of Berry, who was opposing any change.

Aubry is allowed three hours alone time with Nahla, where he can take her to the park or carry out an activity, but the order remains that the nanny must be present at all other times, especially during overnight stays.

A source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com that Gabriel is furious over not being allowed to care for his daughter on his own and that he feels the nanny is encroaching on his relationship with Nahla, and supervising their every move.

Meanwhile, Gabriel is currently overseas in Majorca, caretaking Nahla while Berry works on her new movie, Cloud Atlas. As per the couple's custody agreement, Berry must arrange accommodation for Aubry during these times and it must be of the same standard as she is being afforded — so if Halle is staying in a five star hotel, Gabriel must be given the same.

[From Radar]

TMZ's report is similar, so I think this is what really went down. TMZ's source also says that "Gabriel is pissed — and he feels the nanny is ruining his relationship with his daughter." Here's a question, and I mean this in all honesty, with no agenda: what does it say about Gabriel Aubry that the court won't let him have unsupervised visits with Nahla? Is it just a simple technicality, like Nahla is so young, and that the status will change when she gets older? Or does it speak to some kind of truth in Halle's claims? Look, I definitely think Halle is crazy. But it bothers me that the court system seems to be backing her up, and it makes me think there might be some shred of truth to her claims. Is that crazy?

Linnocent is obvious: she donates to charity ahead of her court appearance

Posted: 19 Oct 2011 07:36 AM PDT

Just FYI - for all of your Linnocent court coverage, you should definitely check in with us! We'll have an open post in the afternoon, and then we'll have coverage of whatever goes down with the judge and all. Linnocent is due in court at 10 a.m. PST, which is 1 pm EST where CB and I are. So… that open post will be coming later today, mmkay?

So, where are we now with Our Cracken? TMZ reported yesterday that their sources within the Probation Department are saying that LL should NOT be going to jail, and that she'll likely be deemed in "substantial compliance" with the terms of her probation. Of course, the "sources" also cop to the fact that Linnocent did get kicked out of her first community service program for being a crackie mess:

Lindsay Lohan will get some critical support when she goes to court tomorrow … Probation Department sources tell TMZ the Dept. thinks Lindsay has done most of what she’s required to do, and they will NOT recommend that she be thrown in jail.

Our sources say … the Probation Dept. officials will tell the judge in a written report that Lindsay is in “substantial compliance” with the terms of her probation. They concede she was kicked out of the Downtown Women’s Center for habitually failing to show up, but they note that Lindsay has a year to complete 360 hours of community service, and she’s still on track.

And, sources say, the Probation Dept. has been in touch with Lindsay’s shrink, who says she has gone “regularly.” The shrink did not address Judge Stephanie Sautner’s directive that Lindsay go for therapy once a week — because she hasn’t. But, we’re told, the shrink is still satisfied.

We’re told the report will note that Lindsay has completed her shoplifting course.

Judge Sautner made it clear … if Lindsay violated any court order, she would go to jail. So now it’s up to Herhonner to decide if Lindsay went astray or whether a few missteps don’t count.

[From TMZ]

And the California legal system continues to not give a flying f–k about any of this. Well, for the most part. TMZ also reports that the L.A. City Attorney’s Office "will ask the judge tomorrow to violate Lindsay’s probation and send her to jail." Their position is that Linnocent's crack shenanigans at the Downtown Women’s Center are enough to get her violated and sent to jail. Good luck, prosecutors!

Considering how it's going to take an act of Congress to get this crackhead in any kind of locked-down situation, it's surprising to me that Linnocent is still doing some PR moves to look good to the court. Radar reports that she "recently" donated $50,000 to a children's charity… and she announced it just hours before she was due in court! Shocking, I know.

Lindsay Lohan has been under fire recently for her questionable behavior but she has managed to find some time, and money, to give back to those in need, RadarOnline.com can exclusively report.

The beleaguered starlet recently donated $50,000 to a children's charity, called The Baby and I Foundation and she did so in honor of her mother, Dina.

"Lindsay was really keen to make a donation to the charity," a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. "Her main motivating factor was that she hoped to make children's lives easier by way of their own mothers, as her own mom has done for her."

The Baby and I Foundation provides assistance to economically at-risk expectant mothers ages 14-24 in the Metro-Atlanta area. They work to reassure expectant mothers that they will have access to the essentials needed for the successful delivery and development of their newborns for the first year of life. In addition, they "provide prenatal and postnatal services that facilitate parental success, thus enhancing the well-being of both mother and child."

The source says that Lindsay learned of the charity after Dina was approached by them to be their spokesperson — she declined, but a week later Lindsay made the hefty donation.

The source points out that there could be another motivating factor behind the generous move though, besides just goodwill.

"It's kind of convenient timing," the source says. "Just as she gets all this negative publicity and is getting ready to head back to court, she's shown to have a good heart and a caring nature. I'm sure it can only help her case when she has to plead before the judge."

[From Radar]

The source continued, "Did you know the sky is blue? And grass is green too. Are you holding? Do you want to do a bump in the bathroom?" And then the "source" sniffed and pouted her crack lips. Also: where did Linnocent get 50 grand? From “working” in Europe? Still, I’m going to wait until the charity confirms the donation, because I suspect that a decimal got misplaced. Cue Linnocent rolling her eyes: “I never said $50,000! I said 50 DOLLARS. You are so MEAN.”

UPDATE: TMZ has this new story too:

Good News for Lindsay Lohan: The judge who could end up sending her to jail has decided she doesn’t have to do any community service, at least for now.

Bad News for Lindsay Lohan: She’ll be sweeping up blood and guts at the L.A. County Morgue.

Sources connected with the Probation Department tell TMZ … Judge Stephanie Sautner contacted Probation officials and told them to immediately yank Lindsay from her current community service assignment with the Red Cross. We’re told Judge Sautner ordered the Probation people to immediately assign Lindsay to morgue duty.

It’s clearly a sign the judge is pissed off — probably at the Probation Dept. for pulling a switcheroo by taking Lindsay out of the Downtown Women’s Center, where the judge ordered Lindsay to perform 360 hours of community service. Judge Sautner also ordered Lindsay to do 120 hours at the morgue, and now that’s taken top billing.

As for pissing off the judge, we’ve learned there’s something in the Probation report that will probably do just that. Lindsay’s probation officer wrote that Lindsay had problems with the Women’s Center, because it was “not fulfilling.” One more time — Lindsay complained the Woman’s Center was “NOT FULFILLING.”

We broke the story the Probation Department believes Lindsay has NOT violated her probation, but prosecutors feel the opposite is true and they want her in the slammer.

[From TMZ]

So Linnocent will be on morgue duty, which was part of her original sentence. I don’t get how this is a good sign for people who want to see Linnocent go to jail, though. Obviously, the judge is still obsessed with this idea that community service will change LL’s ways, and that’s just not going to happen.

Zachary Quinto on the response to his coming out “I feel really grateful”

Posted: 19 Oct 2011 07:34 AM PDT

Last week, we heard that Star Trek actor Zachary Quinto came out in an interview with NY Magazine, kind of dropping it as an aside. He referred to himself as a gay man but didn’t make a big deal about it at all or make it sound like an announcement. Quinto later made it clear that his admission was deliberate and planned, and that he came out in honor of a gay teen who recently committed suicide after enduring bullying because he was gay. It was really nice, and it was a great way to explain why he came out. It turns out that the response to Quinto has happily been overwhelmingly positive. He told E! in an interview that he’s still processing all the responses he’s been getting, and that he’s “just grateful to be able to participate in conversations more authentically now and to be able to stand up on behalf of people that aren’t quite ready to stand up on their own.” It was kind of heart warming for me to hear him say that, and I’m glad it’s going so well for him now.

You might say the level of support Star Trek star Zachary Quinto has received since coming out as a gay man is pretty much out of this world.

“I feel really grateful,” the actor told E! News at the New York City premiere of his new financial thriller Margin Call on Monday night regarding all the people who have reached out to him in the last couple of days. “It’s been an incredibly overwhelming experience for me, but all in a really positive way and I’m processing it as I’m going through it.”

But, for Quinto, it definitely goes beyond what other folks are saying to him. It’s also about what his revelation finally allows him to say.

“I’m just grateful to be able to participate in conversations more authentically now and to be able to stand up on behalf of people that aren’t quite ready to stand up on their own and give them whatever shred of light or hope in a real sea of darkness,” he said. “It’s a gift that I’ve been given to pass forward, and it’s an honor. And with honor comes responsibility and challenge, and I’ve just done what I can to face it every step of the way.”

[From E! Online]

He also called it an “honor” and he sounded really sincere about everything. You can see the video of this interview on E!’s website.

Did you hear about the ABC World News Now news anchor, Dan Kloeffler, who kind of casually came out on the air when he was reporting this story? I thought this was so funny. He first said that Quinto “came out in a very nonchalant way,” and then he proceeded to do the exact same thing. “He’s 34, I’m 35. I’m thinking I could lose my distraction about dating actors.” That was awesome. Later, Kloeffler explained that“for the same reason that Zach decided to come out, I too, no longer wanted to hide this part of my life. There have been too many tragic endings and too many cases of bullying because of intolerance…as a journalist, I don't want to be the story, but as a gay man I don't want to stand silent if I can offer some inspiration or encouragement to kids that might be struggling with who they are.” Reading that, and reporting this story just makes me feel really happy. I’m proud of both these guys. I kind of hope they go on a date at some point too. Zach is probably thinking “what a copycat,” though.

Here’s the video of the ABC anchor coming out.

Ashley Greene: I’m like Angelina Jolie & Demi Lovato is like Jennifer Aniston

Posted: 19 Oct 2011 07:10 AM PDT

I've mentioned this before, but I'll say it again: I don't get the Ashley Greene thing. I get that she's like the female version of Kellan Lutz, as in she's a supporting player in a massive franchise, and she (and Kellan) think that they're the ones who MAKE Twilight happen. I don't get why anyone pays attention to her. I don't get why dudes think she's hot. I don't get why she's running around, trying to make it "happen" with dudes like Joe Jonas and Gerard Butler and Jared Followill. What's the appeal? Anyway, it looks like I'm going to have to start paying attention, because this chick is a g-ddamn idiot and the crap that comes out of her mouth is absolutely ridiculous. Like, she really is the female Kellan Lutz. She's the cover girl for the November issue of Allure, and the interview is so… WRONG.

Ashley on fame: “(Fame is) a double-edged sword. It’s amazing to be known, and it’s great that there is this audience that wants to know about me. But I’m like, ‘I’m going to be known for coming out of the gym rather than [for] what film I have coming out.’”

On gossip and rumors: She prefers not to comment on them, telling Allure magazine’s November issue that if she did, she “wouldn’t have time for my day job.”

On the nude photos from 2009 that no one remembers: “‘One of my family members said to me, “Ashley, everyone does it. You're just famous.”‘

On her "feud" with Demi Lovato (Demi was with Joe Jonas, Joe dumped Demi and began dating Ashley immediately): “I’m really happy that she’s doing well… She and I never had a problem with each other, but, you know, it doesn’t go away. Jen Aniston still gets asked about Angelina Jolie.”

On the kinds of men she likes: “I go through stages,” says Greene, who has been linked to Twilight’s Jackson Rathbone and Kings of Leon’s Jared Followill in the time since breaking things off with Jonas. “Randomly, I’ll be attracted to a crazy rocker with tattoos. And I find that I’m extremely attracted to ambition and wit. If it was appropriate to date Michael Sheen, I would, but he and his girlfriend [Rachel McAdams] are so cute. And maybe this is ‘You want what you can’t have’ — Neil Patrick Harris. And, oh, Cooper Anderson….[I mean] Anderson Cooper. I’d be all over that.”

On her rumored fling with Gerard Butler: “‘He's extremely attractive, but I think he's a little too old for me. Don't print that I called Gerard Butler old, I feel bad.”

On Robert Pattinson: “Rob. Oh, Rob. He’s very endearing, but you’ve seen his interviews. He’s like, ‘Ah, I don’t know…. Oh, God,’” Greene bumbles in imitation. Despite poking a little fun at him, she credits Pattinson (she calls him a “phenomenal actor”) and the rest of the actors for helping her cope with sudden fame. “All of us essentially were unknown. So everyone kind of went through this crazy whirlwind [together],’” Greene says. “It was really nice to be able to confide in people who were going through the exact same thing.”

On her friendship with Seth McFarlane: “Seth and I are friends, and he texts me: ‘I didn’t know that not only were we dating, but we have since been confirmed to not be dating,’” Greene says. “I can assure you that we’re not.”

[From Allure & Us Weekly]

Ashley Greene = Angelina Jolie, Demi Lovato = Jennifer Aniston, and Joe Jonas = Brad Pitt?!?!?!?!?!!?!

Are you joking, bitch? How easily she cast herself as Angelina Jolie, right? Over a JONAS BROTHER. I really hope Angelina Jolie takes a moment from kicking ass and taking names to offer a simple "Bitch, please" to this dumbass.

Beyond that headline-getter, the whole thing is pretty absurd. I love how she bitches about how famous she is for getting pap'd all the time (when she and Kellan Lutz constantly call the paps!), and how she claims that she won't address any rumors, and then goes on to START rumors about herself. Oh, and the Gerard Butler thing? Here’s the previous reporting on that incident - she totally went home with him after he barely lifted a finger to get her into bed. And now she’s all “He’s OLD!” SMH.

Kim Kardashian is a “game changer” in red: surprisingly pretty?

Posted: 19 Oct 2011 06:06 AM PDT

Don't shoot me, but I think Kim Kardashian looks really pretty (for her) in these photos. Kim attended the Huffington Post "Game Changers" event in NYC last night, and she was once again without her new husband on her arm. That's the second red carpet event in two days that Kim has not had Kris Humphries on her arm. Does this mean that the marriage is already in shambles? Probably. Kim just wanted to BE married, and she went with the first dumbass who would have her. And seriously, Kris Humphries is an idiot. I don't feel bad for either of them, but I do think it's interesting that they're already living separate lives.

Anyway, back to Kim in red. The difference between this look and her cat-faced panda look two nights ago is the hair - Kim looks infinitely better and less cat-like when she wears her hair down, or in some kind of loose style. And the red looks fantastic on her - I even like the cut of the dress, although… it does make Kim look heavier. Or maybe she's actually heavier right now (because she's pregnant?!?). Whatever it is, this girl is totally not a size 4. Embrace your real dress size, Kim!

Two more stories - when Kim was being a cat-faced panda at the Angel Ball two nights ago, I mentioned that she was paying tribute to her late father, Robert Kardashian. Page Six had some text of her speech, which was just kind of weird:

Kim Kardashian gave an emotional speech about losing her father to cancer at Denise Rich's Angel Ball. The reality star told the crowd at Cipriani Wall Street about her father Robert who died aged 59, weeks after being diagnosed with esophageal cancer eight years ago, "Not a day goes by when I don't think about him."

She continued, "I wish we knew a little more about the disease," she said. "My dad didn't really want to tell anyone he was sick. He wouldn't even tell his parents he was sick. He didn't tell them until like a week before he passed away. He was the kind of guy [who] never wanted to go to the doctor to see what was wrong, because he hated doctors — sorry, all the doctors out there."

[From Page Six]

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say that maybe the point of Kim's speech should have been early detection, right? Instead, she's like, "He never saw a doctor, he hated doctors, please give money to these doctors, so that they can do research." Weird.

Last story - President Obama doesn't want his daughters watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians, or any of Kardashian-based reality programming. Michelle Obama admitted as much during an interview with iVillage (full interview here), saying that, "Barack really thinks some of the Kardashians — when they watch that stuff — he doesn’t like that as much… but I sort of feel like if we’re talking about it, and I’m more concerned with how they take it in — what did you learn when you watched that. And if they’re learning the right lessons, like, that was crazy, then I’m like, okay.” Hahaha, the "lesson" is "that was crazy." That's so funny.

Is Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher’s marriage even legal? New lawsuit says it’s not

Posted: 19 Oct 2011 05:47 AM PDT

Earlier this year, a blind item came out about a famous “married” couple who never bothered to get a wedding license after their religious ceremony. It read, in part “While their wedding was a religious commitment ceremony and family party, they never got around to the actual marriage license part.” Most of us suspected Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher at the time, and it looks like we may have been right. A new racketeering lawsuit has been filed against high profile Kabbalah cult members including Ashton Kutcher and Madonna that alleges that there’s no such thing as a “Kabbalah” wedding. What’s more is that the lawsuit states that Moore and Kutcher aren’t even legally married under California law. This puts an interesting spin on Demi and Ashton’s divorce. Maybe they don’t even have to go through one. (California does not recognize common law marriages, assuming Moore and Kutcher are not legally married.)

The bad news is that this lawsuit is being filed by one guy who is representing himself after getting stiffed by Madonna and deciding to look into the cult. It’s worded poorly, judging by the excerpts posted by Radar, and the guy suing isn’t even a former Kabbalah member. So while the lawsuit sounds promising at first, it could go nowhere and the man filing it might not have any insider information.

But now the state of the relationship faces a whole new level of inquiry, as a lawsuit that was filed earlier this year alleges that their marriage isn’t even legal, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

Marc Aisen filed a lawsuit on March 29, suing Kutcher, Madonna, and other Kabbalah members for racketeering and conspiracy to engage in a pattern of racketeering activity. Aisen is representing himself in the case.

The lawsuit states: “Mr. Kutcher made a media circus out of his Kabbalah wedding to actress and hardcore Kabbalah cult member, Demi Moore, who is a longtime friend of the defendant Ms. Ciccone. As the 'First Couple' of organized Kabbalah, the 'wedding' presided over by defendant and alleged fraudster, Yehuda Berg — which I am pointing out again was not a private family affair, as all parties used it as a publicity stunt and invited media attention — was not a legal union, nor is the marriage according to California law.

"Nor is the myth that there is such a thing as a traditional Kabbalah wedding as I can’t seem to find evidence in any book that such a ceremony was ever performed in history. It was a way to put a glamorous face on the weird witches which is antisocial in their every manifestation.”

Aisen, who is Jewish, but not a follower of Kabbalah, began investigating the practices after claiming he designed a talisman necklace for Madonna that was worth $500. “There was one caveat to my generosity which was that I stipulated that Ms. Ciccone was to model the necklace in public and give me credit for designing it,” the docs state. Aisen says Madonna was photographed wearing the necklace but never gave him credit for it, and this is when he began “homework on the Kabbalah Center. What I found, I did not like. I learned the Kabbalah Centre is actually a militant and fanatical cult behind which is a racketeering conspiracy,” the lawsuit says.

Anything that helps shed light onto the very illegal and money-hungry Kabbalah cult is welcome, but again who knows if it’s even true that Demi and Ashton never made it legal? It might explain Demi’s unwillingness to let go. She was last seen looking positively skeletal and still wearing her wedding ring. Somehow she seems a very sympathetic figure despite all the crowing she’s done over the years about her relationship with Ashton. How humiliating would it be for her, not only to have been cheated on so publicly, but to have it come out that she’s not even married to Ashton? These two have been “married” for six years. If it’s true that they never went through the step of getting a license, what was holding them back? Did Demi know that Ashton wasn’t faithful and was that keeping her from making it official? Did Ashton have reservations that he ended up acting out passive aggressively by cheating? These two presented such a united front for years and maybe it was just that - a front.

The NY Post reports that Demi and Ashton had four hours of marriage counseling at the Kabbalah center in LA on Friday before Demi went to NY alone to attend the premiere for Margin Call. So they’re trying to hang in there. Everyone is talking about how skinny Demi looks, with Radar quoting an “expert” who estimates her weight, at 5′5″ tall, to be just 90 pounds.
