Jessica Biel & Justin Timberlake might have gotten engaged in Wyoming

Posted: 21 Dec 2011 07:58 AM PST

LaineyGossip had this yesterday, and now major celebrity news outlets are running with the story as an unconfirmed rumor. Allegedly, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have gotten engaged while vacationing in Wyoming. They have been staying at a luxury resort, and there's some gossip on Twitter that Justin proposed to her. Of course, all of this could be a figment of the imagination of Jessica's publicist.

With their five-year anniversary fast approaching, have Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel decided to take the next step?

The rumor mill is a-churning with rumblings that they recently got engaged at a swanky Wyoming resort, although details are scarce to nonexistent (not to mention Twitter-based) and their reps have yet to comment.

The question-popping whispers come nine months after Justin, 30, and Jessica, 29, announced their split.

Among the alleged reasons for the apparently mutual breakup: his wandering eye, her desire to walk down the aisle, and their feeling that the relationship had run its course.
But the romantic breather lasted only until July, when they were spied bike-riding in Toronto. From there, they quietly picked up where they left off.

“She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life,” Timberlake told the July issue of Vanity Fair. “In my 30 years, she is the most special person, OK?”

Jessica, meanwhile, downplayed a possible knot-tying in the December issue of Elle, saying, “I don’t feel pressured. I was never one of those girls who dreamt of my wedding and my prince charming.”

[From Wonderwall]

I don't think it should count as "five years together" when they have broken up a few times, for months at a time. How about "five years of on-and-off BS with lots of infidelities"? That sounds right.

If this is true and Jessica finally got the ring… congratulations? Sure. I wonder what she really thinks that will accomplish, though. Will she get more scripts as an A-lister's wife? Ask Katie Holmes. As for Justin… ugh. I just think he's really screwed up about women, and I don't really understand it at all. Does he really think that his relationship with Jessica is healthy, and she should be his wife? I don't mean to be the wet blanket, but this whole thing seems like a disaster in the making.

Star: Kardashian-branded items are made in Chinese sweatshops

Posted: 21 Dec 2011 07:56 AM PST

Well, it looks like the Kardashians are getting a heap of tabloid drama for the holidays. Kim just finished having a hissy fit over this week's National Enquirer report that she was disrespectful and nasty to poor people in Haiti, and now Radar has released this week's Star Magazine cover, which I'm sure will cause even more famewhore dramz. Star claims that the Kardashians are using sweatshops to make their various Kardashian products, and now a human rights group is basically calling out the Kardashians for using "slave labor."

In a stunning world exclusive exposé Star magazine is reporting that the Kardashian family are endorsing and selling fashion products manufactured in foreign sweatshops, where workers, some as young as sixteen years old, are abused and virtually imprisoned.

A prestigious human-rights watchdog organization has launched an investigation into America's top TV family, with officials imploring the Kardashians not to profit from what amounts to "slave labor."

"The Kardashians are in bed with some pretty bad people," Charles Kernaghan, the executive director of the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights, tells Star. "Not only are celebrities like the Kardashians taking advantage of these workers, they are holding hands with a government that spits on democracy and women's rights."

While the Kardashians are involved with many fine consumer products in the fashion, beauty, fragrance, health and lifestyle industries that are not part of this investigation, there are several brands that are coming under fire. Items in the family's high-end K-Dash by Kardashian label and the Kris Jenner Kollection — sold on the home-shopping television network QVC — and ShoeDazzle, a company that Kim cofounded and endorses, are all manufactured in areas of China where government regulations are often ignored and workers are subject to inhumane conditions.

Li Qiang, the executive director of China Labor Watch, says that the reality stars are turning a blind eye to human rights abuses, for the sake of their bottom line. "People like the Kardashians are producing their products in China because they will get more profit, since the labor cost is so low compared to the United States and other countries," he tells Star exclusively.

The sweatshop workers live in squalid factory-run dormitories filled with the stench of sewage while toiling up to 84 hours during seven-day work weeks to produce some of the goods that helped Kourtney, 32, Kim, 31, Khloé, 27, mom Kris, 56, and the rest of their family earn $65 million last year.

Shockingly, the impoverished workers earn just a paltry $1 an hour, slaving away in factories in the Guangdong region of China, which Kernaghan describes as being “like minimum-security prisons.”

The region is a "scary place," Kernaghan continues, where the peak summer season is "brutal," with temperatures inside non-air-conditioned factories soaring to over 100˚F. Workers in the region can come out with as little as $15 a month once rent and food debts have been paid to their bosses.

"You can't talk during working hours," Kernaghan adds. "You can't listen to music; you can't stand up and stretch. You can't even put your head up and look around, or you will be screamed at. If you get permission to use the toilet, you get four minutes. If you're highly specialized, you cannot even go to the bathroom."

Star has learned that human-rights groups have dispatched their undercover investigators to a number of factories that have been linked to the Kardashians. And, Kernaghan says, it is time for the world and the Kardashians to take some responsibility. "Kim has been very fortunate, but it's time for her and her family to treat these workers with respect," he tells Star.

"Kim, for example, could say, 'It ain't going to be all about me, me and me.' She could do something and not leave behind a broken mess of women and children. If she took a stand and said, 'I want to manufacture my products in Chicago or Los Angeles, where I can ensure people humane conditions,' she would be taking the right stand."

For the full shocking story on conditions within the sweatshops, and to read how Carmen Electra and Mel B are also coming under fire, pick up the new issue of Star magazine — on newsstands Thursday.

[From Radar]

Once again, I'm not going to defend the Kardashians, but I doubt that the Kardashian brand is the only company to use Chinese sweatshop labor. That doesn't make it right, and of course, the Kardashians should know better and they should rectify the situation and demand that production should be moved to a country with stronger labor laws. But child labor is an enormous problem in China, in India, and in many developing countries. The exploitation is widespread and it will continue unabated without movement from governments, international businesses and watchdog groups. It's a tragedy that poor Chinese children are being exploited so that people can buy Kardashian Krap, just as it's a tragedy that so much of what Wal-Mart sells comes from countries with equally horrendous human rights records. I'm just saying – the issue is a lot bigger than the plague of Armenian ass implants. But yes, the Kardashians should manufacture in America. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have made American manufacturing a priority for their lines – why not the Kardashians?

Tom Cruise gushes about “amazing” Katie: “Every day I fall more in love with her”

Posted: 21 Dec 2011 07:55 AM PST

Tom Cruise isn’t quite finished pimping out his family for the sake of promoting Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, which I guess is sort of understandable since he doesn’t mave much else to talk about other than his insane stunt work in the movie. I mean, he’s finally figured out that no one wants to hear him talk about Scientology and the evils of psychiatry, so that’s something positive. Still, Tom’s been around the globe a few times in the past few weeks, and then he returned to New York City to get papped with the family all weekend while carting poor Suri around without a coat. By the time he and Katie actually walked the red carpet, they both looked exhausted as hell.

As a general rule, I can’t even imagine how exhausting it must be for Katie to deal with Tom on a consistent basis and even experience his suffocating “lovebombing” when he’s away for work too. Make no mistake that Tom is still thrilled to have Katie as his wife (whatever that actually means to them as a couple), and he’s still giving interviews to discuss her “amazing” qualities. He really needs to learn some new adjectives, right?

The parties just don’t stop for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes this holiday season. The couple celebrated their five-year anniversary last month and her 33rd birthday on Dec. 18.

“Every day I fall more in love with her,” Cruise, 49, told PEOPLE at the New York premiere of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol on Monday at the Ziegfeld Theatre. “It’s been quite an amazing five years because of her. She’s an incredible woman. She’s everything to me.”

To mark her birthday, the couple enjoyed a Big Apple tradition at the Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring The Rockettes with daughter Suri, 5, and her grandparents, Kathleen and Martin Holmes.

The family then dined at Buddakan for a birthday meal on Sunday.

“We had a lot of fun. It was a great day,” Cruise says of the party, which included some romantic treats for his wife. “We had flowers and cake. All that stuff.”

[From People]

Yeah, Katie’s birthday must have been quite the event, what with the Sciento-clown in attendance. Shudder. Meanwhile, Tom hasn’t forgotten about his other girl either, for he’s also paying lipservice to Suri as well:

Suri Cruise isn’t a sartorial copycat.

The fashionable 5-year-old — who’s been known to rock faux fur jackets and kitten heels over the years — has an innate sense of style, according to her dad Tom Cruise.

“She was just born that way. I don’t know what to say,” a proud Cruise, 49, told Us Weekly at the Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol premiere in NYC Monday. “She really creates her own outfits.”

Adding that Suri “dresses herself,” Cruise said his wife Katie Holmes, 33, has helped curate their daughter’s love of clothes.

“Katie has her create things and sew and stuff like that. It’s kind of amazing,” Cruise said. “It’s beautiful. It’s really beautiful.”

Holmes — who recently admitted to coordinating outfits with her celeb BFF Victoria Beckham — also helps her action star hubby get dressed for red carpet events.

“Whatever my wife wants me to wear, I wear,” Cruise laughed. “It’s simple. She has amazing taste.”

[From Us Magazine]

Okay, that last part must have been a lie because, seriously, are we supposed to believe that Tom only wears lifts because “amazing” Katie dictates that he must do so? I think she sort of enjoys towering over him sometimes. Rather, it’s Tom who can’t handle the truth.

In addition to Tom’s vomit-inducing words about his lovely and incredible wife, the Cruise also stopped by “The Late Show with David Letterman” on Monday evening to promote MI4, and he barely gets a word in about his wife and daughter because Dave (mercifully) keeps quizzing him about the movie stunts. However, Tom does make quick mention of Katie staying home from the international MI4 tour because the schedule was jam-packed, not because she was lounging somewhere on a recharging dock as I previously guessed. My bad.

On a slightly amusing note, the Daily Mail has some photos of a very heavily made-up Tom outside the Ed Sullivan show after chatting with Letterman. While I’m aware that guests on the show wear make-up for the cameras, the amount of blusher and lipstick on Tom is ridiculous, and someone should’ve made him wash that stuff off before heading onto the street. Fortunately, you can’t really see it while he’s chatting to Dave onscreen though. Here’s a clip of the show, which is largely uneventful because Tom’s apparently taken a few PR lessons on how to hide the crazy. He does slip once though when Letterman says the word “ass” — Tom begins laughing hysterically and then repeats the word. What a freak.

Now as a special bonus, here’s ore of Tom’s freaky plastic-surgery face from the MI4 NYC premiere. You know you love it.

‘The Hobbit’ trailer arrives: good for the fanboys or just overrated crap?

Posted: 21 Dec 2011 07:37 AM PST

After what seems like an eon of production hell, the teaser trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has finally materialized. The movie, of course, will be the first of two Hobbit films based upon J.R.R. Tolkien’s works and directed by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings; King Kong). I’m not a huge fan of the source material because, to be blunt, I didn’t go crazy about all of that Middle earth stuff during my childhood (I was more of a Nancy Drew chick), but die-hard fans have been waiting forever to see this movie. And even after this trailer, they’re still going to have to wait another year for the first movie itself, which releases in December 2012, and even longer for the second installment, which arrives in December 2013.

Naturally, the promotion has already started, and EW.com has released the first few stills of the film in conjunction with the new teaser trailer. As far as the main casting goes, Martin Freeman (“Sherlock”) plays title character Bilbo Baggins; Ian McKellan will be, to borrow an expression from Tom Cruise, “amazing” as Gandalf; Cate Blanchett plays Noldorin princess Galadriel (a bit of inspired casting); and Elijah Wood shall pop in as Frodo. Here’s that trailer:

At first, I was wondering whether the fanboys (and girls) would tear this sneak peek to pieces because they’re probably so frustrated at waiting so long for the actual movie. Seriously, there have been a million false starts, so fans would have to be really devoted to hang onto any semblance of hope. Well, the YouTube comments on the trailer range from “I NEED TO CLEAN MY SCREEN NOW” to “Teasing this film one year before the release is pure evil…” to “omg omg omg omg want to see NAOW.” Yeah, this film will make far too much money when it finally arrives.

George Clooney vacations with Cindy Crawford & Stacy Keibler in Cabo yet again

Posted: 21 Dec 2011 06:35 AM PST

Last night, I read a Daily Mail story about George Clooney traveling down to Cabo san Lucas yet again, for his millionth Mexican holiday of the year. First: when did Clooney become of the male version of Jennifer Aniston? Second: At first, the reports suggested that Clooney was flying solo in Cabo… meaning that Stacy Keibler was NOT traveling with him. But the Mail claimed that Cindy Crawford was there, so I got super-excited that Clooney might have dumped Stacy right before his big awards season push. Turns out, not so much. These are new photos of George and Stacy together in Cabo yesterday. You can see them riding in a golf cart together.

So… Stacy and George are still together. Oscar-Date Barbie will be Clooney's Oscar Date, for better or for worse. But will she last much longer than the awards season? Elisabetta Canalis managed to stick around a lot longer than I was expecting, but then Eli messed it up by talking about marriage and babies and Clooney quickly had security escort her out. Stacy might fall into the same trap too – one look at her Twitter page, and it's clear that she's got love and babies on her mind. Poor Cray-Cray. At least she's making money out of this relationship though – the NYDN just re-confirmed that Keibler's appearance fee has jumped to $25,000 a gig, and that she's in high demand now that she's Clooney's Girl.

I'm also including a photo of Cindy Crawford, the girl Clooney wishes he was with.

Evan Rachel Wood & Jamie Bell might be getting engaged soon, yay!

Posted: 21 Dec 2011 06:12 AM PST

Evan Rachel Wood is a girl who moves fast. When she was barely an adult, she was already living with Marilyn Manson, and she and Marilyn had two on-and-off engagements, didn't they? But Marilyn is long gone now (thank God) and ERW has been with English actor Jamie Bell for most of this year, I think. Apparently, they dated back in the day (pre-Marilyn?) and then they got back together this year, and they've been loved up ever since. Personally, I think they're a hot couple. I think Evan is really beautiful and talented, and I think Jamie has that naughty English boy thing, plus his comically oversized ears would make a good ankle rest. Oh, and Jamie also knows his way around a vagina, or so he claims. So, basically, HOT. I'm rooting for them. And Jamie might even try to put a ring on it too!

Talk about a whirlwind reunion romance! Only months after actors Jamie Bell, 25, and Evan Rachel Wood, 24, renewed their romance, sources exclusively tell RadarOnline.com that the couple is already shopping for engagement rings.

The Billy Elliot star first fell for Wood back in 2006, after meeting on the 2005 set of the Green Day video Wake Me Up When September Ends. The duo, who dated for about a year, even got matching tattoos before splitting.

Wood went on to date Marilyn Manson and the two were engaged for seven months before calling it quits.

A source tells RadarOnline.com that over the summer, Bell flew to New York to try and rekindle the romance and the two have been inseparable ever since, even spending Thanksgiving together at his Venice, California loft.

The source also reveals, that The Adventures of Tintin actor recently began shopping around at all the swanky jewelers for a diamond engagement ring!

"He hasn't made a purchase yet, but he is starting to seriously look and has met with a few jewelers."

"Evan and Billy were really young and just getting going in their careers when they first met and they just weren't ready," the source tells RadarOnline.com. "Now that they are older and both excelling in their professional lives, I think they feel ready to take their relationship to the next level."

[From Radar]

He's 25, she's 24… I tend to think they're too young to settle down, but if they got engaged, I wouldn't be surprised. I like that they're the same age, I like that they seem to be genuinely into each other, and I could totally see them working in the long run. Sigh… I want an English boy!! Damn it.

Mariah Carey’s subdued, low-key look in Aspen: surprisingly pretty & young?

Posted: 21 Dec 2011 05:41 AM PST

These are new photos of Mariah Carey in Aspen, Colorado yesterday. I'm surprised Mariah is so covered up! Yes, I know it's probably freezing in Aspen, but Mariah has her new Jenny Craig body and everything, you'd think that she would have found a warm outfit that showed off her figure. Like, a fur bikini. Flannel-lined booty shorts. Boob mittens. Instead, Mariah wore this poncho that I actually LOVE. It makes her look bigger than she actually is, sure, but it's a great piece. I like how Mariah isn't all glamorous too – she's barely wearing any makeup! WHO ARE YOU?

Mariah Carey had quite the rosy glow about her today as she ventured out into the crisp air of Aspen. But on closer inspection, it appeared the singer’s winter chic was all thanks to some clever make-up application, rather than feeling the chill.

The 41-year-old mother-of-two had apparently dabbed on the blusher to complement her seasonal style as she stepped out trussed up in a stylish cape teamed with black leggings and her suede brown boots.

Mariah was spotted paying a visit to her mother’s jewellery store – and despite it being dark the diva still found the need for shades.

The singer and husband Nick Cannon usually go to Aspen for Christmas but didn’t last year due to fears the high altitude may interfere with her pregnancy.

She still went away because she has to be somewhere with snow at Christmas.

‘It’s got to be snowy,’ she said at the time. ‘I was considering staying in LA because we love it, but it’s not the most seasonal of places. I need snow.’

[From The Mail]

I get that. I think it's a little bit depressing when Christmas falls during a heat wave here in Virginia, and I love it when it's all wintery and grey.

Here's Mariah's new Christmas song with John Legend, "When Christmas Comes". It's a decent Christmas song, and the video is pretty cute. I just wish Mariah wasn't writhing on a fur rug, you know? MORE LEGEND.

Kim Kardashian slams “malicious” Enquirer report about her charitable Haiti trip

Posted: 21 Dec 2011 04:32 AM PST

A few weeks ago, Kim Kardashian and her mother went to Haiti. They allegedly traveled to the still-devastated island at the invitation of Maria Bello, who started a charity called We Advance, which guides money to women's health issues. Kris and Kim posed with some kids and the whole trip was actually kind of quiet for the most part – there were no gratuitous tweets, Kim didn't "pull a Cracken" and claim that she was saving lives, and it actually seemed like Kim and Kris actually spent their time learning about the charity. I think that when they came back, Kris issued a statement, but that was basically it.

Unfortunately, The Enquirer claims has new report based on interviews with lots of bitchy, Kardashian-hating Haitians – go here to read it. The Enquirer's sources claim that Kim and Kris stayed in a fancy hotel, had poor children "bused in" for photo-ops, and that Kim went to a fashion show just for fun while she was in Haiti, and that Kim was scared of poverty germs. Oh, and that Oprah and Sean Penn totally hate how phony Kim is. Because I imagine Sean and Oprah think of nothing else…? Anyway, Kim is denying the report:

As some of you know, my mom and I flew out to Haiti earlier this month to meet with Maria Bello and embark on an amazing journey together in Haiti. Our mission was to learn more about Maria's charity, We Advance, meet the Haitian people who have made such amazing progress since the devastating earthquake in 2010, and celebrate the women of Haiti, who inspired me more than I ever could have anticipated.

While my experience was completely life-changing… a very emotional and surprisingly positive journey that I will never forget, some media outlets have tried to tarnish the motive behind my visit and have written completely ridiculous and untrue things. The National Enquirer wrote that I went to a fashion show in Haiti and then spent a fortune pampering myself! The truth is that I was at the Haitian Artisan Fair, where the amazing men and women who make their jewelry and crafts sell them to visitors to make a living, and I bought some of their beautiful jewelry after the fashion show!! Reading this made me so disappointed in the media.

Taking such a positive thing and writing something malicious and untrue. The journalists obviously didn't bother to do their research and instead published a ridiculous story to sell copies. I have ignored all of this until now, but because I wanted to write a few blogs about my experience, I felt I needed to address this first. I have become accustomed to dealing with rumors and lies spread about my family or my relationships, and have learned to ignore it to a certain extent. But when a magazine makes the decision to twist the truth and write lies like that, it belittles the entire experience we had in Haiti, and I won't let them do that.

I think it's important that I share my experiences with you all, rather than you read false reports in the media. I have some really great stories and photos from my trip and I'm so excited to share them with you all! Xo

[Via Kim's blog post]

What do I believe? I'd guess that Kim and Kris probably did spend at least SOME of their trip in luxurious accommodations, but I also think they probably did spend a lot of time learning about the charity and meeting people and all of that stuff. I also don't think we should bash Kim for spending money while she was down there – Haiti's economy is still struggling, and they need tourism dollars. I hate to say it, but even if Kim did take a trip to Haiti just for a fun vacation time, it would have helped. Yes, I can't believe I'm defending her either. While I'm sure Kim just made the Haiti trip as a way to convince people that she's a good person, she might have inadvertently helped and she might have actually done something positive. GAH.

Also, in other vaguely related news – Kris Humphries just signed on for another year with the Nets. His contract is somewhere in the $7-8 million range. Another GAH. I guess that stupid "Basketball, um, er, like, basketball, um" interview worked.

Mariah Yeater clings to her paternity claim against Bieber; does she have a case?

Posted: 21 Dec 2011 04:17 AM PST


I’ve mentioned several times that I don’t believe Mariah Yeater’s story of being impregnated by Justin Bieber during a quickie backstage at an LA concert. Yeater’s tale seemed plausible at first and the timeline did add up. Then we heard from her personally and found her demeanor and lack of detail suspicious. We also learned that she’s claimed two other men were the baby’s father, that she’s been arrested, and that one of her exes was recently arrested for burglary and meth possession. Plus we saw text messages allegedly from her admitting that another man was the father. It sounds like she was hoping for a quick settlement from Bieber’s camp, but it didn’t happen. She’s not going away yet though. Yeater told the Chicago Sun Times that while she’s dropped her paternity lawsuit against Bieber she still may have a paternity claim. Bieber has taken a DNA test, but he didn’t do it under the conditions stipulated by her lawyer and they’re pushing for another test. It sounds like a stall tactic to me. Here’s more:

THIS REPORTER exclusively spoke with Mariah Yeater by phone from her home in San Diego on Dec. 14. In case you don't recognize the name, she is the 20-year-old unemployed single `mom, who on Oct. 31, filed a paternity lawsuit against pop star Justin Bieber in a San Diego court claiming he fathered her baby son, Tristyn, who was born on July 6, which Bieber and his attorney have vehemently denied.

I asked Yeater (while baby Tristyn cried in the background) if she dropped her paternity lawsuit against Bieber as reported in the media? She said, "I am still pursuing the paternity claim through my Chicago attorney Jeffery Leving and my Los Angeles attorney John Carlson but outside of court," Yeater said. "I dropped my lawsuit, but never my claim. I still definitely want a DNA test and I want to refile my paternity case."

I asked Yeater is Bieber the father — "I do believe he is the father," said Yeater.

I asked if she actually did have sex with Bieber as she has claimed? "I had sex with him on Oct. 25, 2010 in a bathroom at the Staples Center in L.A.," Yeater said.

I asked her about the recent RadarOnline report that Robbie Powell, 23, who was arrested Nov. 26 on drug and burglary charges in San Diego is the "real father?" She said, "Yes, I know him. He is not the father and he's locked up and out of the picture."

I talked to her attorney Leving and he said:

"Although the legal proceedings have been dismissed, we have the ability and the legal right to refile at any time," Leving said. Leving says in reference to the DNA test that Bieber claims to have taken, "Bieber's counsel has not provided me documentation supporting that the DNA test occurred." "Bieber's counsel hasn't told me where Bieber's alleged DNA is secured nor has provided information substantiating the chain of custody and protocol utilized in the claimed DNA collection and testing," said the noted father's rights attorney.

"If negotiations with Bieber's counsel does not result in DNA testing of everyone under mutually agreeable and controlled conditions, then the legal proceedings will likely need to be refiled," Leving said.

Leving says he is handling this case pro bono. "Even my daughter is a Bieber fan, which is making my case not popular at home," Leving added.

By the way, I am the only journalist she has spoken to since Leving took over her case last month. Bieber's lawyer would not comment.

[From The Chicago Sun Times]

This chick got a new lawyer who worked for free and convinced her that she should keep pushing this for whatever reason. Her last team of lawyers quit her ass when they realized that she was a nut job.

In other Justin Bieber news, he’s supposedly hanging out at the Playboy mansion all the time now and it’s known that he went there with his dad for his 17th (not his 18th) birthday in March. His parents should keep him away from that place. Who knows what he’ll catch there, and I’m not just talking about cougar cooties.
