Nicole Kidman in Gaultier at the CMAs: beautiful or Botoxy?

Nicole Kidman's lips are attacking the world. I swear, the lip injections are getting out of control. What's worse is the like Botox, lip injections are something you have to maintain, correct? Like you have to go in once a month and get your lips re-inflated. So Nicole Kidman makes a conscious choice, month after month after month to not only have a forehead that resembled marble, but to get THAT done to her lips. Rough.

aes-049677

But her body looked good. And I really do like this Jean Paul Gaultier gown, even though it looks heavy as hell and she sort of resembled a steel beam. Maybe that was the look she was going for? "I want to look like an embellished steel beam. With inflated lips!" Yes, Ms. Kidman.

aes-049681

By the way, Nicole's lips aren't just content to attack from cushiony positions in America and Australia. No, Nicole is going to India. Allegedly, maybe. She's in talks to star in Rumi Jaffery’s Gali Gali Mein Chor Hai, in a role that was originally offered to Shakira. This is what happened the last time Nicole tried to "go Bollywood":

The Community hunks and Joel McHale drink coffee shirtless: hot, goofy or both?

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 08:40 AM PST


Shirtlessness starts at 1:10 if you have that short of an attention span
DListed just posted this video and I got kind of irrationally happy for a moment and assumed that Joel McHale was just named People’s sexiest man alive! He wasn’t though, this is just his “audition” video for People. Apparently he was supposed to make a “mundane” activity look sexy, so he made some coffee in a french press and served it, shirtless, to the other guys from the show including Dani Pudi (Abed), Donald Glover (Troy), Ken Jeong (Senor Chang), and Jim Rash (Dean Pelton). All that’s missing is Chevy Chase! You know he has droopy moobs, but I still would have loved to see him here. The Dean is giving me Moby vibes here, and I also find him so hot! Who knew?

At about 1:30, the boys starts take off their pants with Pudi (Abed) unbuckling McHale’s belt for him! The video ends before we get to see the goods though, which is a shame. My other complaint is that it’s pitifully low res. This needs to be in HD.

Now I’m imagining McHale serving me coffee shirtless while cracking jokes. It’s actually making my day. It’s also making me consider getting a french press so I can prolong the fantasy. God, I’m so much of a fan girl that I want to have the same type of coffee as McHale.

Also, can you guys please start tuning into Community on Thursday nights on NBC or watching it online? We have no affiliation with NBC or the show at all, but I just love it so much and I’m afraid that it will be canceled due to low ratings soon. That show is ridiculous at times, but it’s also funny as hell and so unique.


Oh this reminds me that Diablo Cody interviewed Joel McHale (video above) as part of her “Red Band Trailer” web series. It’s long at 14 minutes, and if you want to get to the good part just go to about 9:10. McHale’s dry humor and excellent delivery really come through. He talks about his career and how he got his start. At around 3:00 in he discusses his gig on “The Soup.” He joked that when they got their start “we would do things just to see if the network noticed. Sometimes they did.” They talk about “Community” around 4:00 in. He addresses the fact that it’s in a crap timeslot at 8:00 on NBC Thursday:

In the Fall, it’s on against NFL football. In the Spring, it’s up against American Idol. Other than that we have no competition other than Big Bang Theory.”

McHale also talks about some of his upcoming films, including The Big Year with Steve Martin and Ted with Mark Wahlberg.

At 9:18 (again in this video), Joel holds a rented baby and sits at a Tiki bar to answer questions. This part is hysterical. They claim the baby’s name is Inspector Maroon Five.

On the Kardashians:
Thank god for their ratings and their marketing genius and Bruce Jenner’s face.

If Ryan Seacrest could fire him
Ryan Seacrest has the power to kill all of us right now.

Kody also asks him about the fact that he’s been married since 1996. He jokes that he’s “very abusive, that’s how I keep her…. No, she’s great. I’m very lucky. I couldn’t do any better than her and we really like each other. I never thought about being with anyone [else] and she’s just the best. And we have two little boys. Isn’t that great?” Awww!

Here are a bunch of photos of McHale shirtless from last season’s Community. [via Squarehippies]

LeAnn Rimes in Badgley Mischka at the CMAs: rough & trashy?

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 08:39 AM PST

LeAnn Rimes

OH GOD. Here are some photos of LeAnn Rimes last night at the CMAs. She was wearing Badgley Mischka, a once great label that now just sticks random ruffles everywhere and uses Rumer Willis as their "face". So… no, I won't go there with a rude joke. Let's just say that LeAnn looked like hell. And it wasn't just the fashion either! Look at her makeup:

aes-049727

Is she taking style tips from Christina Aguilera? I know I'm a prude about ladies and their makeup (especially considering I rarely wear makeup), but this is a massive "Makeup Don't". Don't do child-like berry-pink lips for formal red carpets. Don't do frosted blue-silver eyeshadow, ever. Don't slather the eye-shadow on so thick it looks like it was applied in layers over the course of an hour. Also: Her hair is a complete mess. Stringy and busted. Those are the best descriptors for her whole look, actually. She looks like a Dairy Queen girl at the prom, no offense to the DQ. At least her bolt-ons are contained.

LeAnn Rimes

Also, this happened and LeAnn tweeted it, of course.

leann11

By the way, LeAnn participated in Us Weekly's "What's in my bag?" feature - go here to see. It's basically just a big advertisement for all of the products LeAnn uses, but it's interesting, I guess.

Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds are already shopping for real estate together

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 08:14 AM PST

wenn5752429

I've said it before, and I shall say it again: I miss Bleo. Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio were exciting as a couple. Leo never dates actresses, and Blake was such an upstart, and they were in interesting in a "WTF?" sense. But ever since Blake dumped Leo (LOL, that still makes me laugh) and started up with Ryan Reynolds, I've just been bored. It's Ryan, not Blake. Blake on her own is interesting. Blake with Leo is interesting. Blake with Ryan is a sucking, gaping hole of boredom. What do they do together? Have sex? Probably not even that. I bet she cooks for him and they play with their dogs. That's not a bad relationship - at all - but they've only been dating for a month or so. Certainly they could find some more passion or something?

Anyway, it looks like they are already to settle down together - after a month. Page Six reports that they're already looking at real estate together:

Things are going so well with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, they're already looking at apartments together. The lovebirds were spotted checking out a three-bedroom, $4.35 million penthouse at 225 Fifth Ave. on Madison Square Park the other day.

A spy told us, "When they were done, she left the building first, wearing tall boots, jeans, coat and fedora, and got straight into a Town Car, and then Ryan exited into the same car. Her little dog was waiting with the driver in the front seat."

Things seem to be happening fast for Lively, who lives in Chelsea, and Reynolds, who have been officially dating for about a month.

[From Page Six]

The Gerbil strikes again! How does he pull booby blonde chicks with such consistency? Hidden talents? Is he more interesting than I give him credit for? And why in the world would you want to shack up with him after only a month? Unless they've been going on for longer. See, I can't even work up enough interest to really work that conspiracy. I just don't care. BRING BACK BLEO.

Ashton Kutcher quites Twitter after tweeting support for Joe Paterno

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 07:48 AM PST

wenn3577955

I've been following this ongoing Joe Paterno/Penn State debacle for most of the week. If you'd like to read real stories about it, go here to Gawker/Deadspin's ongoing reporting. The basic gist is that Penn State's Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky was raping young children in the showers, and when Penn State's legendary coach Joe Paterno was told about it by an eyewitness, he simply informed Penn State's athletic director, who then began a coverup involving several key administrators. There's additional evidence to suggest that Paterno knew a lot more, but kept quiet and allowed the coverup to take place. Well, everything just went crazy this week, and Paterno thought that he could just quietly retire, but he just got fired yesterday. Riots ensued on the Penn State campus - Paterno is a beloved figure, yes, but are those kids seriously rioting because they didn't think he should lose his job for failing to inform law enforcement about children being raped?!? I don't care if football is a "religion". When children are being violently assaulted, YOU DO SOMETHING. And yes, people are going to get fired, rioters.

Anyway, I wouldn't be talking about any of this except that a douchey celebrity has now inserted his d-bag self into the whole controversy.

Following an avalanche of criticism, Ashton Kutcher deleted a controversial Tweet Wednesday night protesting the firing of Joe Paterno, admitting he hadn’t known about the sex-abuse scandal at Penn State.

“How do you fire Jo Pa? #insult #noclass as a hawkeye fan I find it in poor taste,” Kutcher wrote to his 8 million Twitter followers.

His followers responded with an explosion of insults, many of them extremely vicious, blasting the actor for defending the 84-year-old coach, who is under fire for possibly covering up former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky’s alleged sex abuse of young boys.

Kutcher, 33, soon realized his mistake, quickly backpedaled and admitted his ignorance. “Heard Joe was fired, fully recant previous tweet!” he wrote. “Didn’t have full story.”

He later deleted that message, too, and added this one: “As an advocate in the fight against child sexual exploitation, I could not be more remorseful for all involved in the Penn St. case.”

He also made this pledge: “As of immediately I will stop tweeting until I find a way to properly manage this feed. I feel awful about this error. Won’t happen again.”

This is the second Twitter faux pas in recent months for Kutcher. On Sept. 11, he backtracked after calling it “the greatest day of the year,” because it was the start of football season.

Paterno had earlier announced that he would retire at the end of the football season. Also fired was Penn State president Graham Spanier.

[From People]

It's funny because Ashton Kutcher is a g–damn fraud. It's funny because Mr. Real-Men-Don't-Enslave-Children was defending a person who helped do just that. And seriously, how can you hear the Joe Paterno was fired and NOT hear WHY it happened? Watch the news for two minutes, you'll get the gist.

Mel Gibson may have knocked up a reality star

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 07:34 AM PST

wenn3558928
There are so many reality shows that I’ve never heard of. I thought that most of the new ones involved cupcakes or baking, but there also seems to be this trend of making reality soap operas around jet setting people in cities like Dallas. There’s “A-List Dallas,” “Most Eligible Dallas,” and “Dallas Divas and Daughters.” Anyway there was a show on VH1 in 2010 called “Secrets of Aspen” which tanked in the ratings and was cancelled. One of its famewhore wannabe stars, the “villian” on the show, Laura, was desperate enough to risk a burial in the rose garden and hooked up with Mel Gibson briefly. Laura Bellizzi, 35, is pregnant and according to Star Magazine [via Radar Online] is telling friends that the baby is Mel’s. That’s one way to secure a future filled with large child support checks, scary drunken tirades and abuse.

laura_2

A pregnant reality TV star, who dated Mel Gibson briefly during the summer, is telling friends that the Braveheart actor is the father of her unborn baby, Star magazine is exclusively reporting.

Both the mother-to-be, Laura Bellizzi, 35, and Gibson denied the claim when contacted for comment, and a source close to Mel insists that it's "physically impossible" for the 55-year-old actor to have fathered the child.

However, a close insider says that Bellizzi has confided to friends that Mel is the baby daddy, but does not want the news to go public.

"Laura's being as secretive as she can be about it," the insider told Star. "But she's really showing now, and people are beginning to ask the question: 'Who's the daddy?'"

The well-placed source says that Laura is more than four months pregnant, and indeed, photographs, exclusively obtained by Star, show the Orange County based mom-to-be with a visible baby bump.

Bellizzi, who appeared on VH1's Secrets of Aspen in 2010, dated Mel during the summer and the couple were last seen together at the Mondrian hotel's Skybar in West Hollywood on June 15.

"Laura and Mel met through some mutual friends in Malibu, and the chemistry was instant," the source revealed.

A member of Laura's family has also confirmed to Star that she is in fact pregnant by "an A-lister" and that the child will have "a famous father."

If Laura's sensational claims prove to be true, this will be the ninth child for Mel — he has seven children with his soon-to-be-ex-wife, Robyn Moore, and a daughter, Lucia, from his relationship with Russian pianist/singer Oksana Grigorieva.

Laura already has three other children of her own, from two previous relationships.

You can read the whole sensational story in this week's Star magazine — on newsstands Wednesday.

[From Radar Online]

Rumorfix has some photos from Laura’s facebook of her out with Mel. They also have the detail that she has “three daughters from two different fathers.” It could be worse, all of her kids could have different dads. They also claim to have a source who tells them that, just like Oksana at first, Mel is taking care of this woman, has bought her a “luxurious home in a prominent gated community in Ladera Ranch in Orange County” and is planning to provide for the future baby’s education. That will last until this chick denies Mel a beej, and then all hell will break lose. Mel’s people have denied this story though, and call it “complete and utter nonsense.” There’s plenty of evidence that he dated her at least. It’s not that much of a stretch to think the baby could be his.

Michael Fassbender at the ‘Shame’ premiere: hot & magnificently bulgy?

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 06:06 AM PST

wenn3602338

Last night, Shame premiered at the AFI Fest. Michael Fassbender was there. A commenter already emailed me to tell me that she met him last night and "When he talks to you he focuses on you. 100% eye contact - like there’s no one else in the room. It was a bit much. Still recovering…" SLUT!!!!! The slut dagger is unsheathed, my friends. I love all of you (well, most of you, let's be real), and I love that my lover Fassie is getting more and more love from you bitches, but SRSLY. Don't be touching my Fassdong. GAH! No, you can touch him. You can actually look at the Fassdong and stuff. Just promise me that you'll email me (kaiser@celebitchy.com) or tweet me (KaiseratCB) and tell me exactly what the experience was like.

So… yes. Michael was at the premiere, as was his director, Steve McQueen, who was rocking a long skirt, of course. McQueen is pretty awesome, right? Fassie looks tired but gorgeous. He's worn this gray suit before, but it's one of my favorites. It makes his beautiful blue eyes pop. I love that his ginger is growing out. Oh, and LOOK AT HIS BULGE. Jesus Christ. The Fassdong's magnificent largeness is comparable to The Hamm Dong, I swear. He hangs to the right (his right).

Since I'm such a Fassie-obsessive, I thought I'd share this article which is about a week old. It's all about how Fassie's on-screen sexual partners were cast in Shame, and there's an anecdote about tequila and cigarettes in here that made me lose consciousness. These lucky bitches.

Finding an actress who can convey nuance without uttering a line of dialogue is hard. Finding that kind of talent in someone who’s also willing to take off her clothes? That’s almost impossible.

"I had so many passes I couldn’t even tell you," said Avy Kaufman, a casting director who faced precisely that challenge in casting the NC-17-rated "Shame," Steve McQueen’s New York-set drama about a taciturn sex addict named Brandon (Michael Fassbender) that hits theaters Dec 2. "I was unbelievably frustrated."

Kaufman is a veteran of her craft, having cast complicated productions such as "The Sixth Sense" and "Brokeback Mountain." But she had a unique assignment from McQueen, who wanted top-quality performers even for tiny parts like Brandon’s fly-by-night sex partners. The idea was that those partners would propel the story forward with their silence, showing Brandon’s state of mind, or even suggesting the history of their relationship with a look or a gesture. The actresses, of course, also had to meet certain physical requirements.

Perhaps the trickiest of those castings was for the character of "Hotel Lover," a woman summoned by Brandon to a hotel in the middle of the afternoon. In the scene, "Hotel Lover" has sex with Brandon standing up, against a floor-to-ceiling window, and utters only a quick line of dialogue afterward (about her earrings).

Kaufman — who would put prospective actresses at ease by having young, Fassbender-ish men from her office read with them — located Amy Hargreaves, a stage and screen actress who has gone on to a recurring part on Showtime’s "Homeland." She and Fassbender prepared for their scene, well, the only way one might: by smoking a cigarette and downing a shot of tequila. "I’m so proud of what we did in the film," Hargreaves said, then added with a laugh, "Though I’m glad it’s getting an NC-17 — my parents will never see it."

Another actress, Lucy Walters, appears in the opening and closing moments of "Shame" as a newlywed with whom Brandon eye-flirts on the subway. She doesn’t get a word of dialogue but manages to communicate with her looks and her gestures the arc that Fassbender’s character has taken over the course of the film.

"It’s super-easy to have a charged scene with someone as relaxed or as sexy as Michael Fassbender," said Walters, who was cast after receiving a message at 11 pm to head to a club “in a dodgy part of town” where “Shame” was already shooting. "But there's a lot more going on there than just sex.”

Kaufman said she feels that Walters’ performance validates the unusual casting process. “How many times are there actors you don’t have one line and you remember them. I can’t think of another time that’s happened.”

[From The Los Angeles Times]

"It’s super-easy to have a charged scene with someone as relaxed or as sexy as Michael Fassbender… But there's a lot more going on there than just sex.” YES. There is also a hell of a lot of orgasming happening, for him and for the viewer. Plus, you learn a lot about yourself when you are in love with Michael Fassbender. You learn that you will do ANYTHING for a piece of the Fassdong.

Michelle Duggar: pre-eclampsia is random; I take a power nap every day

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 05:20 AM PST

duggarheader2
It took me a couple of minutes to find that the biggest risk factor for pre-eclampsia, a life-threatening condition leading to high blood pressure in late pregnancy, is a previous instance of pre-eclampsia. Another risk factor is maternal age. Michelle Duggar, the reality show mother who is currently pregnant at 45 with what will be her 20th child, had pre-eclampsia in her last pregnancy, resulting in a dangerous very early term delivery of her daughter Josie at just 25 weeks old. According to Michelle, she can’t be too worried about any risks associated with this pregnancy, because pre-eclampsia “is a crazy, random thing.” I guess we can’t expect her grasp basic probability. This woman also believes that the earth was created 6,000 years ago and that dinosaurs and humans lived together at the same time. (I’m not kidding, the Duggars home school their kids so that they can teach them young earth creationism, they took their kids to the “Creation Museum,” and they link to the Creation Museum from their official website. The Creation Museum includes exhibits like this one, which show humans and dinosaurs co-existing.)

Michelle also told People Magazine that she takes a power nap every day, that she eats healthy, and that she knows that having a ton of kids isn’t for everyone.

With 18 kids still at home, one on the way and two grandchildren, how does Michelle Duggar get any rest?

“I am taking a power nap every day,” she tells PEOPLE. “And I’m eating a lot of protein and green vegetables and no caffeine, which is a new thing for me.”

Michelle, 45, and husband Jim Bob, 46, stars of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting are expecting their 20th child after the premature birth of daughter Josie in Dec. 2009 following Michelle’s life-threatening preeclampsia.

“I read up a lot on preeclampsia [while pregnant with Josie],” says Michelle, “and it is a crazy, random thing. I have been getting counseled from a high-risk pregnancy doctor in Little Rock and taking good care of myself.”

The family’s frightening medical journey with Josie – born at only 25 weeks and weighing just over a pound – was documented on 19 Kids and Counting as the tiny micropremie was in and out of the hospital and Michelle’s own life was in danger.

Now, Josie has been released by Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock and is developing normally.

Michelle and Jim Bob watch her oxygen levels using a finger monitor. She accompanied her family on a recent trip to Europe (part of TLC’s Duggars World Tour: Scotland & Ireland, which airs Nov. 13 at 8 p.m.), and she also visited Israel with the whole family.

“The last day of the trip, Josie caught the cold that some of us had,” Jim Bob says. “She couldn’t fly back with a cold, so Michelle and Jill stayed longer in Israel with Josie.”

Michelle, who had just found out she was pregnant, says she had yet to experience any morning sickness.

“I get motion sickness anyway, but thankfully the morning sickness didn’t kick in until I got home,” she says, noting that it hit her hard upon her return but is now gone and she’s feeling good.

“We know having this many kids isn’t for everyone,” she says. “But we are open to receive whatever gifts God wants us to have. And we are so excited and thrilled about this pregnancy.”

[From People]

Power naps typically last about 15-20 minutes, so I can’t begrudge her that. She also revealed on the Today Show that prior to learning of this latest pregnancy she was spending an hour on the elliptical machine every day. To those of you who ask where she finds the time, she has an entire house full of babysitters.

So God blesses these people with children, it has nothing to do with their choices. He also made the earth and everything on it in one fell swoop a few thousand years ago. The mind boggles. Watch this video and listen to Michelle Duggar explain creationism at 3:11. A little bit later several of the kids are interviewed about their beliefs. The kids say that the world is 6,000 years old, and one older girl says “it’s actually more scientifically proven [that the world is 6,000 years old] than [that the world is] billions of years old.” Holy crap.

Mariah Carey said something exquisitely bitchy about Kim Kardashian

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 03:50 AM PST

mariah_carey_004_wenn5752293

Here are some new photos of Mariah Carey at the big Jenny Craig news conference and photo call officially making her the latest face of "Jenny" (Jenny Craig's new trademarked name, I guess). Don't get me wrong, she looks GREAT. She's lost weight, she got a blow out, and I'm guessing she's double or triple-Spanx-ing it, and that's why the dress seems a little baggy in the waist. Plus, she's sucking it in. Bless her. I love Mariah. Even when she's doing a press conference for a weight loss program, she's still going to Spanx it up and suck it in. Here are some gems from the press conference:

When she was heavy, she always covered up: “I had a towel on in the tub. I'm not lying, I promise you! You think I would let Nick see me looking rancid like that?”

She didn't want to know how much weight she gained while pregnant: “I didn't want to know, because why would I want to feel that bad? I know it was a number that I never want to see again.”

Bones: “I had, like, no bones for a while. It’s important to me to feel my bones!”

Eating while pregnant: Carey says she cooked hearty Italian meals and “soul food” throughout her pregnancy, and admitted that it’s easy to overeat when you’re eating for two – or in her case, three. “Maybe the portions weren't what they should've been,” she said. “Even as a pregnant woman you kind of have control over it, but you don't feel like it when you're pregnant.”

She's not petite: “I'm also 5′9″ and I'm not a petite girl."

Not-so-veiled comments about Kim Kardashian: “I’m a real person, I’m not going to put on a fake face for Hollywood. Sometimes [Nick and I] make each other mad, that’s why we aren’t divorced after four months. I’m sorry, I’m just saying.”

Obviously: “You know, I had a situation in the past where I was controlled, and I was really young, and it affected the way I trusted people. I had no team, besides my dog and my cat. Me and Nick we always joke, I’m an Aries, I need so much attention!”

[From Us Weekly and People Mag]

Us Weekly claims that after Mariah made the crack about a four-month marriage, there were "audible gasps" in the auditorium, and that's why Mariah gave a half-hearted non-apology. I think her point is valid - a lot of people thought Mariah and Nick wouldn't last (I certainly didn't think they would), and a lot of people thought they would be divorcing within a year. But they stuck with it, and now they seem so, so strong, right? And maybe it's because they give each other what they need, and they're not afraid to be "real" with each other. Mariah really is a diva who needs constant attention and she'll totally be a bitch too. And Nick handles her, and they complete each other. Why not hold them up as an example of a marriage that works?

Oh, and here's that Jenny commercial. Don't you get it? She's in a COCOON, people. She's a butterfly. A newly slender butterfly, ripping her way through the cocoon of water retention.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley says we should save up for $700 Louboutins

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 03:42 AM PST

fp_8070918_rij_hollywood_awards_91_139

I was in a bookstore yesterday, shopping for someone else, and I happened to see the hardback of Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations, and I made a mental note that I needed to add it to my Christmas list that I give my mom. Also on my list? Adele's new live CD and LL Bean wool clogs (which I love, and I now want in every color). I give my mother a list still, to this day, even though I am well into adulthood because she's already going to buy me stuff, so it might as well be the *right* stuff, and she prefers that I give her a list anyway, so she doesn't just buy me endless pairs of socks.

What's my point? Even when I'm thinking about what gifts I really, really want, I'm a pretty reasonable person - a nice book, a CD, a pair of shoes. That's all I really want. If I do want something really expensive, I rationalize my way out of the purchase or I just buy it myself, with my own money. I've never owned a pair of $700 shoes. I enjoy looking at pairs of expensive shoes, but I can easily rationalize my way out of purchasing a pair. I always enjoy hearing what celebrities consider "must haves" though - it usually shows how out-of-touch they are, even when I know they really just mean their recommendations from the heart. Let's take Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who recommends that women save one dollar every week for seven years just so they can buy a pair of Louboutins one day. But you know that seven years from now, a pair of Louboutins will cost 1,200 Apocalypse Romney Bucks!

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley managed to win the hearts of many, many men when she took the reins from Megan Fox to star in the latest "Transformers" installment, but she has one little secret that helps her put some extra sexiness in her step. Seven hundred dollar Christian Louboutin heels.

"They make me feel like a woman. I feel they make you look very sexy, the cuts are beautiful, the lines, the colors the embellishments," Huntington-Whiteley gushed to FOX411's Pop Tarts column at the shoe designer's book launch at Barney's in Beverly Hills last week. "I think he managed to capture something so special for women, every girl should be lucky enough to have them."

Yet amid this cash-strapped economy, the British supermodel has some words of wisdom for women pining for a pair – which retail at around $700.

"If you can save up for a pair put away a dollar a week," she advised. "It's worth it girls. It is really worth it!"

(At a dollar a week, that would take approximately 14 years, for those of you keeping score.)

Since getting a taste for rolling cameras, lights and action in Michael Bay's hit blockbuster, Huntington-Whiteley has caught the acting bug big time, and has high hopes for more movies in the future.

"(’Transformers’) was a huge challenge for me and I think it was the right time in my life to be challenged, I had a lot of fun and learned a lot making it," she said. "I would love to work with another great filmmaker again, and I think my dreams are the same as any new actress – to work with a great cast, and I would love to do something that's a little different from my role in 'Transformers' – and something hopefully that will challenge me in a different way."

Yet when it comes to her personal life, the rising star (and Jason Statham's squeeze) refuses to complain about the increasing paparazzi and tabloid attention.

"I am very lucky in my life so I don't wish for anything I don't have, and I actually manage to get around just fine. I'm just fine," she added. "It's not too much, I manage to avoid it when it's necessary, but I'm very thankful for everything."

She means well. She's trying to convince all of us unwashed masses that this is what we really need - $700 Louboutins, which, granted, lots of ladies do seem to like. I see those nude stilettos on nearly every celebrity lady, so they must be one of the more comfortable and versatile pairs of heels in the high heel universe. I'll also give Rosie a little bit of credit for not going all Goop on us, patronizing us by saying that not only MUST we buy the shoes, but we just desperately need to (lose some weight and) update our wardrobes with some $1000 blouses. Rosie's shill was quick and dirty: buy these expensive shoes. The end. Like, "I am the 1%. You can be like me too if you buy these shoes. Goodbye." The kicker, of course is that Rosie doesn’t have to pay for Louboutins even though she can afford thousands of pairs - she probably gets all of this stuff for free.

Also, if Rosie actually turns into an in-demand actress, I'll eat my proverbial hat (I don't wear a hat, my head's too big).
