“Steven Tyler is probably engaged to Erin Brady, and his family is pissed” links Posted: 28 Dec 2011 08:40 AM PST Steven Tyler & Erin Brady are (probably?) engaged. Erin looks like a soul-eater. [Bitten and Bound] and [HuffPo] |
Jennifer Aniston on why she cut her hair: it looked fake & extensions were thinning it Posted: 28 Dec 2011 08:19 AM PST
Now Aniston has confirmed that she had extensions and that they were damaging her hair. This sounds like a throwaway comment until you realize how much press it’s going to get her. She told Instyle “The real reason I cut my hair? My real hair was getting thinned out again from all the extensions. It was starting to look fake.” That’s true, Aniston’s hair was looking fake. I think her decision to cut it had more to do with McMillan’s influence though. He very clearly told Allure why he wanted to take Aniston’s hair in that direction: it was the upcoming trend in fashion and hair, and he wanted his client to be a leader, not a Real Housewife follower. Kaiser thought that Aniston might be selling out her hairdresser with that extensions comment, but I get the impression that they’re on the same page and that he’s the one who convinced her that her hair was looking phony. The thing is, Aniston’s hair has been reverting back to her long piecey look from 2010. Here she is in October of this year at an Elle event. I’m thinking she has extensions yet again here, and that she really prefers this style. We heard rumors that she thought she looked like a soccer mom with that hair. Those stories were probably accurate, since she didn’t keep that bob style for a hot minute. 10/17/11. She has the extensions back in, doesn’t she? I don’t think her hair would look as full without them, but I could be wrong. 9/26/11. All natural? Maybe. I think this shows that she did get extensions for that Elle event (above) and later that very same day (below) 9/26/11. Her hair grew a couple inches in a day, so she’s still hitting the extensions. I did a forensic analysis of Aniston’s hair earlier this year, where I found photos of her with and without the extensions prior to the big chop. You can see those photos at that earlier story, and here are a couple of her with the long obvious extensions. So the verdict is that she’s still using extensions, but they’re more subtle and not as fake-looking as they were before. I prefer her hair longer, not the super long style but the look she’s sporting now. She probably does too, since she keeps returning to that style. She knows what works for her. This story makes me fantasize about how awesome it would be to have a hair guy with me every day, a BFF who would gossip with me and make me look gorgeous. |
Duchess Kate praised by animal rights groups for not participating in royal hunt Posted: 28 Dec 2011 07:28 AM PST As we saw a few days ago, Duchess Kate's first royal Christmas seemed to go very well. She got lots of attention in her plum coat and coordinating hat, she wore her seemingly new Christmas gift earrings (green amethysts!), and she looked happy. But all was not perfect in The Queendom of Waity. Animal-rights activists had basically come out and said that they would be putting a fatwa out on Kate if she participated in the royal family's annual Boxing Day pheasant shoot. So what did Kate do? She went to the hunt, but she "stayed in the background," not participating in the blood sport. Good for Kate? I don't know. It seems like the animal-rights people are gloating, and they feel like they have leverage on her now.
[From Digital Spy] "No-one wants to see her caught up in a scandal so soon." Is it really a "scandal" to take part in the royal family's annual Boxing Day activities? She would have been criticized if she had taken part, but it wouldn't have been a "scandal," it would have just been a (minor) animal-rights controversy. You know I'm no Kate-defender, but I dislike how the animal-rights groups are using poor Kate. She's damned if she does, damned if she doesn't, and why is only HER participation an issue? What about the other members of the royal family? So… in my opinion, the only real "scandal" Kate is currently embroiled in is The Great Weave Scandal. I still have concerns that Kate is employing weaves and extensions. Oh, and let's not forget The Raccoon McWaity Scandal. I wonder what her eyeliner budget is? Why doesn't anyone think of the poor, victimized eyeliner? |
Singer John Legend and model Chrissy Teigen got engaged over Christmas Posted: 28 Dec 2011 07:00 AM PST Well, I’m not sure how many people will care about this story because (to paraphrase CB) it concerns a decidedly non-scandalous couple, but we could all stand a little bit of good news about a couple of non-famewhorey celebrities, right? Over a Christmas holiday in the Maldives, singer and songwriter John Legend (who has collaborated with The Roots and Kanye West) became engaged to his girlfriend of four years, Sports Illustrated model Chrissy Teigen:
[From People] Sigh. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to date and marry a soul singer like Legend? I mean, anytime the romance is otherwise lacking, he could just whip out the smooth baritone and go all Barry White. Chrissy is such a lucky lady, and if you’ve ever followed her on Twitter, you’ll know that she’s very sharp, funny and largely unaffected (by fame) as well. Then again, she’s claimed in the past to be a huge fan of Pajiba, so maybe I’m a bit partial. Photos courtesy of Fame and WENN |
Demi Moore needs to fire her publicist & position herself much differently Posted: 28 Dec 2011 06:43 AM PST Demi Moore has been keeping a very low profile since officially splitting with Ashton Kutcher. I think she's only been photographed a few times in the past two months, and the photos were super-exclusive (so we don't have them). From what I've seen, Demi still looks really drawn, tired and really, really thin. I'll give her credit for not arranging some "candid" photo-ops to show off "The New, Single Demi" – but I worry that she hasn't arranged those photo ops because she's not in a good place right now. Still, Demi's publicist (the one she shares with Jennifer Aniston, btw) is working overtime to convince us that Demi has still "got it" and that EVERYBODY finds her sexy and desirable, of course. Look at the obviousness of this Page Six plant:
[From Page Six] Ugh, "Demi could do 'The Wiggles' dance and still look hot." SRSLY? Stop it. It's not 1994. It's not even 2004. Demi's fall-back publicity position should NOT be "Let's make everyone think Demi is super-sexy and single and she can compete with the younger girls!" Demi is 49 years old, and she just went through a very public debacle when her younger husband screwed around on her openly. Find a new image for the post-Ashton Demi, you know? Create an image of a confident, capable woman of means and maturity. Talk up her producing projects, get Demi a gig on a quality television show, sign her to a memoir deal for a huge sum of money and get her to go on dates with men closer to her age. Don't position her as a delusional divorcee, clinging to the dusty fragments of her youth by any means possible. |
Kyle Richards’ extreme duck face on her smug advice book: ridiculous Posted: 28 Dec 2011 06:25 AM PST
[From Amazon] Kyle spackles on the makeup and she has huge fake hair extensions. She’s cruel to her sister and is a catty, petty person. Of course she considers herself an expert on everything and a “girl’s girl” when she’s anything but. This is going to sound super bitchy, but here goes. Like that evil drunken psychic last season on RHOBH, I get the impression that Kyle’s husband Mauricio is a cheater. He projects this good guy image, but he’s super slick and confident and I just get the cheater vibe from him. Maybe I’m hoping that’s the case because I just so thoroughly dislike Kyle. It’s wrong to wish ill will on people, but there you go. Also, Lisa Vanderpump has a book out too. It’s called Simply Divine: A Guide to Easy, Elegant, and Affordable Entertaining. At least Lisa has experience in those matters, having owned successful bars and restaurants for decades. She does think it’s perfectly acceptable to have your dog eat at the table with you, though. No matter how cute the dog is, that’s just wrong. These photos are from 12/14/11 and 10/29/11. Nice Halloween costume. It looks like something her niece Paris would wear. Credit: Fame |
Beyonce parties in NYC while hospital goes on “high alert” for “birth” Posted: 28 Dec 2011 06:08 AM PST Last we heard from Beyonce, she was nine months pregnant and she had flown to Vancouver, where she was partying her pillow off with her husband. While in Vancouver, there were a few photos of Bey, and she totally looked more "authentically" pregnant than ever before – go here to Dlisted to see one of the latest Bey photos. Her face totally looks heavier, and for a brief moment, I was like, "Oh, okay. Maybe all of the conspiracy theories were totally wrong. Maybe Bey has just had a really crazy pregnancy where her bump collapses and goes up and down constantly BUT she really is preggo." Of course, there's a blind item that covers Bey's weight gain too:
[From Blind Gossip] Yes, it's just a blind item. No, I can't verify its accuracy or even WHO is having the 'roidy fake-pregnancy. But… but… but… Anyway, Page Six has this interesting little blind item for all of the conspiracy theorists out there:
[From Page Six] Of course I have moments of doubt. Of course I stop every now and then and say, "What if she's really pregnant? What if this isn't some huge conspiracy? What if she really has the energy to party and fly to Vancouver in the last days of her pregnancy? What if she really can balance on sky-high heels even in the third trimester?" I don't have anything to add to that, really. Your guess is as good as mine. I think there's enough evidence and "common sense" wisdom to make a case for the pillow baby theory, or for the "real pregnancy" theory. Photos from September, October & November, courtesy of WENN. |
LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian take Mason & Jake to Aspen after Christmas Posted: 28 Dec 2011 05:41 AM PST These are some new photos of LeAnn Rimes, Eddie Cibrian and Eddie's two sons in Aspen, Colorado yesterday. As you may remember, Eddie and LeAnn spent some time before Christmas in Mexico, where they pap'd themselves daily in various beachwear ensembles, LeAnn's bolt-ons glistening in the hot Mexican sun. Did that just make you nauseous? I made myself nauseous. After that holiday, LeAnn presumably gave Eddie and her "bonus boys" all of the inappropriate Christmas gifts she could afford, and then everybody headed off to Aspen on Monday. Apparently, LeAnn has already been bitching about how there's not "enough" snow in Aspen, and she's on Twitter 24-7 talking to people, so I have no idea when she finds the time to actually ski or out-mother Brandi Glanville. Speaking of, this Aspen trip was already a controversy a month ago, when it seemed like Eddie and LeAnn were leaking info to the tabloids, claiming that Brandi was being unreasonable about the holiday plans for the kids. Brandi gave us her side of the story in mid-December - go here to review. By the way, as I was looking through the latest LeAnn news, I found this interesting story about a columnist/blogger who felt the "wrath" of LeAnn Rimes' cray-cray BFF, Darrell Brown. Go here to read Ilana Angel's hilarious post on how LeAnn is "totally a skank" and how her BFF Darrell is an idiot. |
The adorable Affleck girls set up a lemonade stand and sell drinks to the paps Posted: 28 Dec 2011 05:33 AM PST
Violet and her little sister Seraphina Affleck took to their driveway in the Pacific Palisades, California to sell sweet drinks from their homemade lemonade stand on December 27, 2011 with the help of their nanny. Their mother a very pregnant Jennifer Garner bought a cup herself along with her mother and shortly after dad Ben Affleck came out in sweatpants to help get the girls more customers. Ben asked a few of the surrounding photographers if they would like to buy a glass that a few did enjoy from the girls I think the lemonade stand is a metaphor for how Garner deals with photographers. She knows they’re there and she’s learned to go with it and maximize the cuteness while Ben is not entirely on board. She surely stages some photo ops, but I still don’t believe that every paparazzi outing with this family is orchestrated. I could be wrong, who knows. I give her the benefit of the doubt because she seems normal. (You’ve probably heard me discuss this before about them, it’s my go-to topic with the Garner-Afflecks.) Garner is looking like she’s due any day now. She might very well be. She made the announcement of her pregnancy back in late August, and if she was four months along at that time she would be eight months now. It’s possible she was even further along in August and wasn’t showing that much. So the Afflecks are going to welcome another little one soon. I’m wondering if they’ll have another girl or if they’re going to have that boy that Ben is rumored to want. The family is shown with their nanny, and I’m pretty sure it’s the same one Garner gave a shout out to on Jimmy Kimmel earlier this year. Garner’s mom is also there. Those girls are just so sweet and cute. Seeing them makes me want to have another kid. Look at Seraphina’s bunny slippers! That sign just slays me. Photo credit: WENN and Fame |
Benedict Cumberbatch sick of being typecast as ‘asexual, sociopathic intellectuals’ Posted: 28 Dec 2011 04:34 AM PST Come, all ye Cumberbitches, for I have a new interview with your icon of strange, unsettling beauty. Benedict Cumberbatch has a new interview with the Radio Times (via The Mail) to support the new season of Sherlock, the modernized Sherlock Holmes series done by the BBC. To the delight of this Cumberbitch, Benedict discusses how he's so deliciously posh and how he's often typecast as a "slightly asexual, sociopathic intellectual." OH CUMBERBATCH. I love you.
[From The Mail] Sigh… the Brits love their caste system, don't they? Sure, we have a class system in America too, but I don't feel like ours is as pronounced and die-hard as the British system. Americans believe that you can be born into poverty and you can work your way up to the upper echelons of society, and that's an admirable thing. When that happens with an Englishman, they get publicly mocked in the tabloids for thinking they're above their station. As for Benedict being typecast – I personally think it's his voice. He's got that gorgeous, rich voice that just reeks of old money and privilege and education. It's certainly not the worst thing. When you think about it, an American actor like Laura Linney has the same problem – whenever she plays working-class, I find it hard to believe. She just seems too educated and refined. Benedict and Laura should do a movie together. They'll play a rich couple who do horrible things in beautiful places. Hmm…. |
