“Should ‘Bridesmaids’ get an Oscar nomination for Best Picture?” links Posted: 20 Dec 2011 09:49 AM PST Should Bridesmaids get a Best Picture Oscar nom? Mm… no. It was funny, sure, but it wasn't one of the best movies of the year or anything. But don't listen to me, X-Men: First Class was one of my favorite films of the year.

Rooney Mara tries to backpedal on “awful, stupid” Law & Order comments Posted: 20 Dec 2011 09:29 AM PST Last week, one of our biggest stories was about Rooney Mara's Allure cover profile, in which Rooney talked smack about her early roles. She had unkind words for her first professional acting job in a 2006 episode of Law & Order: SVU. Her exact words: "It was so awful. So stupid. People are obsessed with that show. I don't get it. Me and my boyfriend—although I don't look old enough to have a boyfriend—went and beat up these fat people, and at the end of the show you find out that I used to be obese and I hate fat people. It's ridiculous. Who would ever do that? Who would beat someone up because they're fat? And as retribution, they sodomized her. I mean, I've been sodomized since the beginning of my career. I should have known then it would come full circle." [Allure via previous Celebitchy story] It struck me at the time that I remembered Rooney mentioning something disparaging about SVU in another interview, but I didn't think to look it up. Turns out, she also had a little SVU snipe in her Vogue interview as well, and this was months ago: At nineteen, she began auditioning on the side. One of her first roles was on Law & Order: SVU, playing a girl who "hates fat people, and you find out in the end she used to be obese herself. It's just too embarrassing." After graduation, she moved to L.A., but pre-Fincher, her biggest role was in the disappointing 2010 reboot of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. Mara minces no words about the experience. "I hated it," she says. "It left me thinking, If this is what is available to me, then I don't necessarily want to be an actress. And then I got the script for The Social Network." [From Vogue] As I've said before: Portrait of the Artist as a Smug Bitch. Anyway, someone must have told her to tone it down lest she get a reputation as The Next Gwyneth Paltrow. So Rooney tried to eat sh-t in a Huffington Post interview: HuffPo: You’ve said — or at least I read — that you didn’t necessarily love your time during that “SVU” episode and some other shoots. So what was it about working with David Fincher on “Social Network” and now “Dragon Tattoo” that rekindled your passion? Mara: First of all, the “SVU” thing — that’s just not true. That was my first job. It couldn’t have been more exciting for me. It’s an experience I hold very dear to my heart. People take things out of context, and that’s just not the case. I was more nervous doing that job than I was doing this job … “Nightmare on Elm Street” [Mara starred in the 2010 remake of the horror film] was a really hard movie to make, and I didn’t love the experience, but I would never take it back because I feel like I learned something from it and it brought me to my next job. I feel like every job I’ve ever had has led me to the next, and whether you like something or not, you always learn from it, and I think sometimes it’s good to do those jobs that weren’t necessarily easy to make, and you learn the most about yourself from those. HuffPo: I immediately felt bad asking that question, because at this point, the story isn’t so much whether you liked those shoots, but what the press and the Internet harps on. Mara: It’s really silly. People, especially with young girls, they feel the need to make them out to be a certain way, and I feel so grateful for any job I’ve ever gotten. I feel grateful for the student jobs I did, I feel grateful for being an extra in some of the things my sister did. I feel like every single job that I’ve done has shaped who I am and has led me to where I am now. It’s hard to have to talk about yourself all the time and things are out of context, and whatever that quote was, I don’t know, but it’s certainly not what I meant. If anything, I didn’t mean that the storyline was ridiculous; I meant that humanity is ridiculous. I know that ‘Law & Order’ makes their episodes out of real things that are happening in the city, so to me, by “ridiculous” I meant that humanity is ridiculous. People are awful to one another; and to me, I find it ridiculous. [From The Huffington Post] "People take things out of context…" and "whatever that quote was, I don’t know, but it’s certainly not what I meant. If anything, I didn’t mean that the storyline was ridiculous; I meant that humanity is ridiculous…" Really? Is that really what she was bitching about in TWO interviews, months apart, both times disparaging her early jobs? Why is it always "blame someone else for taking your words at face value"? Why can't it be "I'm sorry I said that. That was a dick thing to say. I love being a working actress, and I shouldn't have bitched about my early jobs"? Photos courtesy of WENN.

Kardashian Khristmas Kard 2011: Ridiculously hilarious or just sad? Posted: 20 Dec 2011 07:58 AM PST The Kardashians just released their 2011 Christmas (Khristmas) card, and woo doggy, is it epic. Although… remember last year's Kardashian Christmas card? Last year's was done in the "corpsey drag queen" vibe with more slate-grey and a touch of pink and orange (orange from the skin color). This year's card is all blues and blacks. Still corpsey. Still drag queen-y. Still Photoshopped to within an inch of their cat-faced lives. It's like they were photographed through a mist, the "famewhore haze" if you will. You know what struck me, though? How much time and planning and coordination this must have taken. Seriously! Think about it. These people have WAY too much time on their hands. Anyway, Kim even included some close-ups on her Celebuzz page (she also included the 3D image too, for the love of God), which I will caption, just for the hell of it. Kim: "This pole was where Kris Humphries was supposed to stand. The pole is a better conversationalist, honestly." Bruce: "Wait, what are we doing? Ah, Blue Steel into the famewhore mist. Right." Kris: "Dina Lohan, eat your heart out, bitch." Lamar: "Jesus, this family." Kourtney: "Do you think anyone would notice if I farted?" Scott: "If you fart, I'll stab you in the heart and cut you into little pieces and feed you to your mother." Kourtney: "Ah, Tuesday." Mason-Dixon: "Mommy, why am I dressed like Al Capone?"

Sean Penn is a “communist a–hole,” says Maria Conchita Alonso Posted: 20 Dec 2011 07:57 AM PST Back in 2009, actress Maria Conchita Alonso wrote an open letter to Sean Penn, who she had worked with in the 1988 film Colors. Maria is Cuban-American (but she was raised in Venezuela), and she hated that Sean Penn was (is?) so chummy with Hugo Chavez, and she said so. Sean never bothered to respond, at least not that I remember. Anyway, Page Six had an interesting little update on the now on-going war between Penn and Alonso: Sean Penn and Cuban actress Maria Conchita Alonso were once Hollywood co-stars — but they had an angry bust-up at LAX, with Alonso branding Penn a "communist [bleep]hole" after he called her a "pig" in front of a stunned crowd. It started when Alonso picked up her mother from a Miami flight and spotted Penn in an American Airlines lost luggage area Sunday. Alonso, born in Cuba and raised in Venezuela, says her "heart stopped" when she saw the actor, to whom she'd written an open letter last year to say she was "appalled" by his public support of Hugo Chavez. She told Page Six: "I was very calm. I said, 'I would like to talk to you.' He said, 'I have nothing to say to you . . . You have been saying a lot of things about me in the press.' I said, 'How can you defend Chavez?' " The argument escalated from there. Alonso relates: "I said, 'You are a communist, Sean Penn.' He said, 'You are a pig!' So I said, 'And you are a communist [bleep]hole! Is it great to live the way you do as a communist?' I went back to my mother, and he started yelling at us," Alonso told us. "I yelled back, 'Communist [bleep]hole!' Nearly 60 people were watching, shocked. My mother wanted to clap, but she couldn't because she was in a wheelchair and she had a small dog in her lap." Penn, traveling from Haiti, told us: "I only knew that a hostile woman was nonsensically berating me. I didn't realize it was that actress. I think I worked with her once. But she looks really different. She was uninformed and impolite to all the other passengers." The two starred in the 1988 film "Colors," as lovers on different sides of the gang war in Los Angeles. Alonso, who first recounted the story to Steve Malzberg on Washington, DC, radio station WMAL, added, "I do apologize for calling Sean Penn a [bleep]hole. He is an intelligent man . . . But if someone calls me a pig, I am not going to turn the other cheek. But I don't regret calling him a communist." [From Page Six] I should use "bleep-hole" as an insult more often. It's funnier than "a–hole". Anyway, it sounds like they both behaved badly, and I hate to admit it, but Alonso sounds like the instigator and Sean sounds like he was just defending himself from a woman who was berating him. Not that she didn't have a point, and not that she doesn't have a right to speak her mind. But Sean has a right to defend himself too, although I think his insults missed the mark by calling her a "pig" (ugh) and mentioning that she doesn't look the same as she used to – because, really, neither does he, and mentioning her looks is like responding to a political criticism with "Well, you're FAT." Anyway, that's America. This is all a convoluted exercise in free speech. By the way, I kind of hate how "communist" has come back into fashion as a go-to insult. I feel the same way about labeling people "socialists" or "fascists" – because more often than not, the people that you're labeling communists, socialist or fascists aren't really any of those things. They just have a different point of view, and they're seriously nothing like the true communists, socialists and fascists. Also: stop comparing everything to Nazism too. People really have no sense of history anymore. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Was Beyonce allowed to fly to Vancouver despite being nearly 9 months pregnant? Posted: 20 Dec 2011 07:20 AM PST I read yesterday that Beyonce had accompanied her husband, Jay-Z, to his tour stop in Vancouver. I didn't think much of it, not even sure if the story was true – turns out, it is. There were even photos of a very full-bodied-looking Beyonce backstage at the concert. So, it happened. And I started to wonder… is it weird that Bey flew to Vancouver at this late stage of her pregnancy? On September 23, she said she was six months pregnant. Which means that three months later, she's coming up on full-term, correct? And she's repeatedly said she's "due" in January, meaning she'll be "giving birth" within the next month, probably. Considering I've never been pregnant, I asked Bedhead and CB what the general rule is for flying while in your third trimester, and I got mixed responses – various doctors say different things, but it definitely seems like Bey is cutting it very close. That is, she's cutting it close if she's really pregnant. Have detachable pillow, will travel. Apparently, when she was in Vancouver, she also did some shopping too: While hubby Jay-Z is busy working on his Watch the Throne show with Kanye West, Beyoncé spent her time shopping in Vancouver. The pregnant pop star and her entourage arrived at upscale department store Holt Renfrew where they were met with more security, who ensured fellow shoppers didn’t snap photos or harass Beyoncé. She, meanwhile, stopped at several cosmetics counters, then made her way to the fragrance department. Despite the security, Beyoné went relatively unnoticed, a source says. “She looked so comfortable and quite pretty,” the source tells us, adding that she was “super friendly” with the staff. [From People] You can see some of the shopping photos here – I just don't get how she's more than eight months pregnant, and the only part of her that's "showing" is her bump. I know, I know, all women are different, all women will carry differently, but this is just the strangest pregnancy ever. It's right up there with Katie Holmes's pregnancy (I do think Katie was pregnant, she just lied about when she gave birth) and Nicole Kidman's pregnancy (never happened).

James Franco got an NYU professor fired for giving him a “D” grade Posted: 20 Dec 2011 05:37 AM PST Remember when James Franco was just a quirky young actor on “Freaks and Geeks” and “General Hospital” and everyone loved him because we didn’t yet realize what a pretentious twit he’d show himself to be? Yeah, it’s been a long time since then, and these days, Franco is convinced that everything is AAART (even his butt), and we’re pretty much all puppets in some performance art production directed by — who else? — Franco himself. And boy, does Franco have a temper if anyone dares to cross his artsy-fartsiness. Between his Twitter tantrums and the fact that he skipped his own Oscar party like a poor sport, Franco is fairly insufferable as a rule. Also, remember how he wanted a role in Breaking Dawn but only as performance art? Well, the filmmakers turned him down, and he just happened to review the film and rip it into shreds, probably because he was grumpy about not being able to make it worse by running across the screen with a penis attached to his nose or some such nonsense. Now and according to the NY Post, Franco has turned his wrath upon a poor NYU professor who dared to give him a bad grade for barely attending class even though Franco still expected a great grade. Well, of course he should’ve passed — he’s James Franco, right? C’mon, it’s AAART: James Franco’s tired James Dean act got an NYU professor booted from the school last year – after the teacher dared to give the overhyped Hollywood hunk a “D” for blowing off class, a lawsuit charges. José Angel Santana said he slapped the 127 Hours star with the bad grade because he missed 12 of his 14 “Directing the Actor II” classes while pursuing a master’s in fine arts. Santana said he then suffered all kinds of drama – first from Franco, who publicly ridiculed him, then from his department, which axed him over the “D.” “The school has bent over backwards to create a Franco-friendly environment, that’s for sure,” Santana, 58, told The Post. “The university has done everything in its power to curry favor with James Franco.” Santana, who is suing NYU in Manhattan Supreme Court for his job back, asserts that Franco, whose career took off after a 2001 portrayal of James Dean, acted like a rebel without a clue in his other courses, too, blowing off just as many classes. But the star’s other professors at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts still gave him good grades, Santana said. Big names such as Franco’s typically translate into big bucks for universities. After his student gig, Franco, 33, wound up teaching an NYU course this past fall on adapting poetry into short films. Santana suggested that the good grades Franco received were payback to the actor for hiring one of his other professors, Jay Anania. Franco hired Anania to write and direct the film William Vincent, which starred Franco, the suit states. The film was featured at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival. “In my opinion, they’ve turned the NYU graduate film degree into swag for James Franco’s purposes, a possession, something you can buy,” Santana said. Santana also blasted the graduate film department chairman, John Tintori, for allegedly creating a conflict of interest when he appeared in a cameo in a film financed by Franco and written and directed by Anania, the court records reveal. Neither Anania, Tintori nor a spokesman for NYU returned calls for comment. A rep for Franco had no immediate comment. And Santana griped that Franco got it all wrong when, speaking out about his grade, he asserted that the professor had a problem having a celebrity in his class. “I did the work,” Franco told Showbiz411.com last year. “I did well in everything else.” Santana’s lawyer, Matthew Blit, a notable employment lawyer, said Franco was trying to cast the prof as a fool for giving a Golden Globe-winning actor a bad grade. [From NY Post] Ugh, Franco is such a tool. This is all pretty rich for a guy who once fell asleep during a lecture at Columbia University. Why does he believe that he’s too good to attend class like any other grad student, and how come the professor is paying the price for calling him out on his crap? From what I recall (and it’s been a handful of years for myself), attendance is a pretty big deal in graduate and professional programs. My undergrad professors didn’t care at all whether people showed up, but my law professors actually went down the roster every day, and some of them even deducted half a letter grade for every absence. So by that standard, Franco actually got off lucky with a “D” grade because at least he still earned credit for the course instead of flunking outright. Then again, holding a poor GPA isn’t AAART.

Duchess Kate in black velvet Alexander McQueen: beautiful or boring? Posted: 20 Dec 2011 05:36 AM PST Yay! New Duchess Kate photos! These are pics of Kate on her special date night with both Prince Harry and Prince William. She was the black velvet meat in that sandwich, at least on that red carpet. Now… I've written some fan fiction about the possibility that Kate and Harry will end up in a "situation" with each other and that Kate's future child could be a ginger, but none of the tabloids have picked up on it yet. COME ON. We've had fan-fiction and William and Pippa – we need Harry/Waity fan-fiction. Anyway, the princes and the duchess were at the Sun Military Awards ("A Night of Heroes"), and Kate wore this lovely black velvet Alexander McQueen gown. I love the gown. I love the skirt of the gown in particular – it's a beautifully cut dress. I like that Kate doesn't look pregnant (I don't think she is yet, and I don't think she will be for months), but she looks… like she's been eating solids? Her arms look toned and muscular, not bony. That's nice. The only thing I don't like? Her hair/weave/whatever. This dress deserved a real red carpet hairstyle, and Kate just did the same old thing. Also – the jewelry that she's wearing? Those pieces are apparently "wedding presents." Who gives a bride jewelry for her wedding? Besides, like, the Queen and the bride's parents, maybe. This was one of the last public appearances Kate will make in 2011. She and William are due to make a charity visit later this week and then they'll head to Sandringham for a royal holiday. And then in January, we're supposed to hear which charities Kate will be signing on for. If she doesn't have the goalpost moved again. Photos courtesy of PR Photos.

Courtney Stodden’s Very Special Christmas photo op: spank me Santa! Posted: 20 Dec 2011 05:12 AM PST My default reaction to Courtney Stodden is usually the side eye followed by some involuntary dry heaves, but this actually cracked me the hell up. It was like a parody from The Soup it was so over the top. Courtney, 17, staged a Very Special Christmas bikini photo op complete with her 51 year-old daddy husband playing the Santa role. She used a bunch of cheesy euphemisms to enthuse about how she’d like to bang Santa, and she even read us her alliterative tweets. Courtney was wearing only a teeny shiny red bikini in very cold weather with snow on the ground, but of course it didn’t bother her since she’s not human at all. And of course Courtney’s evil mom was there, the mom that sold her daughter off to a dude older than her own husband and continues to shill this story to the press. Here’s more, from Radar, where you can see the photos. You can also see more at Egotastic. A video is above. The Teen Bride and her 51-year-old husband Doug Hutchison celebrated Christmas early this year and RadarOnline.com has the photos from their provocative day in the snow. Dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus, the happy couple couldn't keep their hands off each other while they posed on Mt. Baldy in a series of sexy shots. In a shiny tiny red bikini, 17-year-old Courtney sat on Santa's lap to tell him exactly what it is she wants for Christmas. And her present to Santa was popping out of the big wrapped box with all her buxom curves on display. "I've never felt hotter in the cold snow!" Courtney told RadarOnline.com exclusively. While the blonde bombshell's momager, Krista, told RadarOnline.com: "It was freezing, the photo people said she's the toughest girl they'd ever seen. Everyone was freezing and she was in her bikini with her feet in the snow." Santa has definitely made his list and checked it twice and we bet Courtney has been pretty naughty this year! [From Radar] They were on Mt. Baldy. Is that genius or just a coincidence? I’ll repeat what I said in our last story on their prom dress photo op at the Grove: this means they’re getting desperate. There’s no reality show contract yet, they turned down a supporting role on a D-list VH1 reality show because the think they’re better than that (they’re not, they’re not even that good) and they’re holding out for more money and fame. They better take a hard look at the Octomom because they’re headed for a similar fate once the photo ops dry up. Courtney always has her “music career” to fall back on, and barring that, she can concentrate on bringing “back the classy beautiful edge of old Hollywood.” In her prescription drug-addled mind, that means a raunchier reality-show version of Benny Hill. Here are some photos of Cats dressed up for Christmas just to cleanse your mind palate now.

Ryan Gosling is “coolest” & “best dressed” in year-end lists: deserved or wtf? Posted: 20 Dec 2011 04:59 AM PST Perhaps it’s appropriate that year-end lists signal the death of every single year, but they really don’t mean anything in the end. Such is the case with two new “honors” that have been bestowed upon Ryan Gosling, who has been named “Best Dressed Man of 2011″ by HuffPo Style. We’ll get back to that title a bit later with a review of his 2011 red-carpet and press-friendly looks, but he’s shown in the above photo at January’s VH1 awards dressed in what is symptomatic of his main style disease — pairing a suit with either a v-neck or unbuttoned shirt, which looks really sleazy (as well as very 1980s) in my opinion. Obviously, Gosling’s fans (who held a protest in his honor after he wasn’t named Sexiest Man of the Year) would disagree with my assessment, which is perfectly okay. Like I said, we’ll get back to the style issue in a moment. Secondly, Time has named Gosling 2011 Coolest Person of the Year because he is “tough but emotional” in manner of Marlon Brando. In doing so, Time admits that it bypassed the likes of SEAL Team 6, Melissa McCarthy, Julian Assange, and Zach Galifianakis. Well, I guess that Time didn’t get Gosling’s own memo that he is neither handsome nor cool: Our Coolest Person Committee was determined to pick someone whose cool was tested and pervasive, obvious even to the dorks who work at this magazine. We defined cool in the classic Marlon Brando way an unshakable calm mixed with a confidence that comes from not needing others. Cool is more how than what; we considered world leaders, singers, hackers and a newsmagazine columnist who one of us thought was an obvious pick. Ryan Gosling, the 2011 Coolest Person of the Year, is so cool that he refused to talk to me about this honor. Faced with this problem, other magazine franchises might back down and pick someone willing to play ball and be their publicity monkey, but the Coolest Person Committee is committed to the truth. Also, it was getting really close to deadline, so it just seemed a lot easier to stick with Gosling. Yes, he was a Mouseketeer alongside Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. And yes, he puts on a weird Brooklyn accent even though he’s from Canada. Yes, he was homeschooled and sometimes hangs out with magicians. But he’s so cool, he wears all of that proudly. Even more impressive, he found time to be cool while having to constantly explain to people that, no, the guy they’re thinking of is Ryan Reynolds. Gosling was in four movies this year, yet he didn’t seem overexposed because he was always so different. In Blue Valentine he was desperate, in Drive he was scary, in The Ides of March he was slimy, and in Crazy, Stupid, Love he was six-packy. (The committee saw just the trailers.) “There is not a genre he is not comfortable in,” says Coolest Person Committee member Henry Winkler. “Cool is being comfortable in your own skin. Everything stems from that.” Coolest Person of the Year Emeritus James Franco says, “Ryan is the true king of cool. You got it right this year.” Let’s hope that Gosling doesn’t wind up hosting the Oscars. [From Time] While that’s a sweet little (not to mention very timely and appropriate) James Franco joke at the end, I have to disagree with Gosling as the “coolest.” Maybe the characters that he plays are cool (and some of them are), but any guy that lets his dog pee in yoga class and generally acts like a poseur is not “cool.” Then again, we’re talking about a silly year-end award in name only, and since Gosling didn’t respond to Time‘s request for comment, maybe he is slightly cool after all. Now back to this strange “Best Dressed” title. I’ll reckon that Gosling did well at Cannes this year as a matter of style. While his look didn’t exactly appeal to me, these year-end-fashion lists tend to favor the unconventional look, and the shiny blue and matte maroon suits along with the Don Johnson pajama photocall look fit right in with that state of mind: June saw Gosling promoting Drive at the L.A. film festival. He looked alright, but I’m guessing that he scored some extra style points for the black velvet shoes paired with red socks: In July, Gosling was promoting Crazy, Stupid, Love and looked the part of a romcom king during promotion. In other words, skeevy as hell: In September, Gosling started to promote Ides of March, and his style became noticeably more bland. Admittedly, he may have been trying to fit in better next to George Clooney, who might as well wear the same suit to all events and premieres: Then in November, Gosling acquired his most important fashion accessory of all, Eva Mendes. By the way, Eva and Ryan just did a FunnyOrDie video together. It’s not really that funny, and I guess this means they are officially a “serious” couple?

Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes at the NYC ‘MI4′ premiere: were they phoning it in? Posted: 20 Dec 2011 04:28 AM PST I'm embarrassed to admit how excited I was to see the NYC premiere photos for Mission: Impossible 4. I'm also embarrassed to admit that I'll probably be seeing this movie over the holidays. As for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes… well, they should both be embarrassed by their appearances on the red carpet last night. I'm not saying that they both looked like hell or anything – they didn't. But it just seemed like both Tom and Katie were phoning it in. I'm not even sure if Tom was wearing his special red carpet lifts! And he just looked tired. He probably is really tired – the man has been hustling and hustling for weeks, and this premiere comes after a "candid" photo-op blitz in which every photo agency got thousands of new images of Tom, Katie and Suri. Poor Tom. You have to give him credit, though – very few movie stars have his hustle. As for Katie – well, I don't know what's going on with her. When she's flying solo, her styling has been improving so much, and I kept thinking that she had found a good makeup dude and a great hair person, but now I'm wondering if she pissed them off. Her makeup looks too cakey to me. Her hair is a boring ponytail. And the dress? The dress is Holmes & Yang. Meaning, Katie designed this herself, if you think "designing it herself" equals "copying a Lanvin design." So… overall, not the best from either of them. But I'll still see MI4. I might not admit it, though. Photos courtesy of WENN.
