Lindsay Lohan vacates her “free” room at the Chateau Marmont: why?

Posted: 09 Mar 2012 08:49 AM PST

Here's something interesting – two days ago, Radar reported that Lindsay Lohan and Terry Richardson had engaged in some kind of gross, sexual crack-shenanigans and that LL desperately wanted to be Terry's girlfriend, but he was all, "Nope." The interesting part? Steve Honig hasn't said anything. Gossip Cop hasn't been issued a pissy, cracked-out denial. Not even Terry Richardson has said anything about it. Which means… it probably happened? Gross. Oh, and Radar published this story yesterday – getting to know "Lindsay Lohan's Hookup, Terry Richardson." Ugh.

When CB and I were talking about the Terry Richardson-Lohan story, she theorized that Richardson was the "friend" who comp'd Lindsay's room at the Marmont. The Cracken moved back into the Marmont a few months ago, after vacating her Venice Beach crack den. Radar claimed that she was staying at the Marmont free of charge because an "artist friend" kept a room at the Marmont full-time, and the friend was letting Lohan stay there. Let that simmer – did Lohan trade sexual favors for a hotel room?

Whatever happened and whoever LL was doing to get a free room, the arrangement seems to be over – Radar now reports that Lohan has packed her bags and quietly vacated the Marmont:

Lindsay Lohan is no longer living at the infamous Chateau Marmont, and is back in Los Angeles after hosting Saturday Night Live, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

As previously reported, the actress ditched her trendy Venice townhouse because of security concerns and decamped to the Chateau Marmont. LiLo has an artist friend who bought a room at the famed hotel for a year, and he offered the room to her because he wasn’t using it.

The actress, who is in the midst of a career comeback, checked out of the Chateau several weeks ago. “Lindsay left the hotel about two-and-a-half weeks ago. It was only temporary, but her new digs could be permanent,” a source close to Lohan tells RadarOnline.com. “For the first time in ten years, the paparazzi don’t know where she is living and she is enjoying not being hounded. Great precautions are being made whenever Lindsay comes and goes from her new residence so that she isn’t spotted. Of course, that can’t last forever, but it’s a nice break for her to just relax a bit at home like a normal person.”

Now in the homestretch of her court ordered community service, Lindsay must complete 14 days of duty at the morgue, and five therapy sessions, by March 29, and then she will finally be off formal probation and will no longer have to check in with a probation officer. She will be required to be in court for her last progress report, and hopefully, that will be the last time the actress will see the inside of a courthouse!

After completion of her probation requirements, Linds will begin shooting the Lifetime Elizabeth Taylor biopic movie in Canada.

This definitely spices up the theory that Uncle Terry was paying her bills. My guess – Uncle Terry stopped paying and he ordered LL out of his hotel suite when the Cracken predictably went psycho and started calling him endlessly, crack-squawking about how she is his girlfriend now. As for Lohan's "new residence" – if it's not a crack den already, it will be soon. And then she'll be back at the Marmont in no time. Probably with the help of another john's largesse.

UPDATE: Oh, and the Cracken switched out her busted blonde Barbie wig for a ginger one. You can see the photo here.

Dennis Quaid’s third wife, Kimberly Buffington, files for divorce

Posted: 09 Mar 2012 08:47 AM PST

Holy crap. This shocked me – Dennis Quaid's third wife, Kimberly Buffington (no joke, that's her real name) just filed for divorce. Dennis and Kimberly were married in 2004, just a few years after his marriage to Meg Ryan ended in disaster (when Meg left him for Russell Crowe). Many assumed (I think correctly) that Kimberly was a trophy wife – someone nice and uncomplicated, without much of a career of her own. TMZ broke the story – you can read their report here.

Dennis Quaid’s wife, Kimberly Buffington-Quaid, is ending their marriage.

According to court papers obtained by TMZ.com first breaking the story, Buffington-Quaid says she is filing for divorce because things have “become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities.”

The couple, who wed in 2004, have 4-year-old, Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace together.

Born in 2007, the babies nearly died when they were given an overdose of heparin at a Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The Quaids later sued the hospital and drug manufacturer and were awarded $750,000.

A temporary custody order indicates that the couple will share custody of the twins.

Buffington-Quaid has been granted possession of the family’s main house and a Mercedes, while Quaid, 57, gets a condo and a Cadillac, according to the filing. The couple will share a Range Rover.

Last October, Quaid put his 418-acre Montana property on the market for $14 million.

In a response to his wife’s filing, Quaid has requested that she get nothing in their eventual settlement.

Quaid divorced Meg Ryan in 2001 and actress P.J. Soles in 1983.

[From People]

My Spidey sense is tingling. Dennis Quaid used to have a major substance abuse problem, but it seemed like he was clean and sober for the past decade or so. But maybe not? Another thing: Buffington (for real) is asking for an equal split of all of the community property. No prenup? Is this a money grab? Or does Dennis have issues and Kimberly didn't feel like putting up with it anymore? This is very interesting.

These are some of the most recent photos we have of Quaid, from December and January. Does he look strung out?

Chris O’Dowd: “You don’t have to f–k all the time to have a great relationship”

Posted: 09 Mar 2012 08:23 AM PST

When I first saw Bridesmaids, I wasn't super-crazy in love with the film. I thought there were some funny parts, but it was a surprisingly bittersweet "comedy". I did, however, come out of the film completely in love with Irish actor Chris O'Dowd. O'Dowd played Kristen Wiig's love interest in the film, and Bridesmaids was many Americans' first introduction to O'Dowd, who is a popular comedian and actor in Ireland and the UK. Anyway, I've never devoted a post to Chris before, and he's got a new interview with Vulture which is cracking me up, so I thought, "Why not?" He's promoting his new film, Friends With Kids, in which he plays Maya Rudolph's love interest/husband. You can read the full Vulture interview here, and here are some highlights:

Vulture: You play a guy in a nearly sexless marriage [in Friends With Kids]. But at least you're a sweet couple?
O’Dowd: Thanks! I love it because I buy it, and it feels very familiar to people I know. Also, it's okay: You don't have to f–k all the time to have a great relationship. [Laughs.]

I love that you're promoting this movie right around the time you got engaged.
Oh, yeah. I'm really looking forward to having less and less sex. That's really what I'm looking forward to. I don't like to be too happy.

Because you're a comedian.
Because I'm a Catholic.

I'm glad the word cougar didn't make it into the script in the scene where you and Maya talk about her being the older woman. I hate the word cougar.
I have a friend who is embroiled in this cougar thing at the moment. It's bizarre. She's going out with a guy in a boy band. But cougar wouldn't be in my wheelhouse of words.

How do you feel being called an up-and-comer even though you did The IT Crowd and you've actually been working for a long time?
I don't mind it. I guess it's better than being a down-and-goner. F–k it.

Has Hollywood surprised you at all?
It's been a piece of piss. It's been surprisingly inclusive.

You're 32, which puts you right in the sweet spot for what the movie is about. Are your friends starting to have kids?
All of 'em. All of 'em are f–king doing it behind my back, almost selfishly; not taking our friendship into consideration and just going off and ruining their lives by having children. In the last year, three of my friends have done it. I just don't know them anymore. No — it's good; obviously, it's great. But I don't see them as much, and whenever I do I have to hang out with this little, flabby-skinned s–t who's terrible at drinking games.

Wait, kids have flabby skin? Or are you talking about the mothers?
The kids! F–k them.

So I guess you don't show up at many 1-year-old birthday parties?
Not at all. That's not a party. Just because it's a birthday doesn't mean you can call it a party. It's not a party if there are 11-month-olds at it.

[From Vulture]

Wait, he's only 32??! Um, I thought he was older, I really did. What is it about Irishmen these days – they're damned attractive, but they always look older than their ages? First Michael Fassbender (who is only two years older than Chris), and now this. Have I just been warped by Hollywood pretty boys and how they always look much younger than their years?

As for Chris's talk about babies and marriage and relationships – he's joking. For the most part. You know as soon as he marries his fiancée Dawn Porter, she'll be knocked up.

Oh, what's that? Chris O'Dowd and Michael Fassbender hung out together at the Irish Film Awards? BAM! Fassy’s not short, Chris is just really, really TALL.

Cindy Crawford is different at the Caliche Rum launch: has she had work done?

Posted: 09 Mar 2012 08:03 AM PST

Let’s start this story off with a rather embarrassing admission on my part. I adore Cindy Crawford to the point where I still do the arms segment from her first “Shape Your Body” workout video five times per week (although it’s now common knowledge that the legs segment should be avoided at all costs). Not that I actually watch the video — I’ve long since had that sh-t memorized. What I’m trying to say is that I’ve got a lot of goodwill and residual warmth for Cindy, who has always been a different breed of supermodel in that she has maintained a much more normal, toned body type that stands in stark contrast to the anorexic norm that is the modeling industry.

For the most part, Cindy’s approach to aging has been realistic as well, and she seems to generally aim for a more dignified, less tweaked look. However and as you can see though from the above comparison, something has gone amiss, and Cindy seems to have indulged in a bit too much filler treatment before a recent public appearance. Her makeup is much different than her usual softer look as well, so that may account for part of the difference we’re seeing, but In Touch has spoken to an “expert” who claims to know what’s going on:

At the Cliche Rum launch in LA on March 1, supermodel Cindy Crawford’s eye sockets looked a bit hollowed out. “Aggressive Botox injections or too much fat removal during lower eyelid surgery may responsible for her sunken appearance,” says Dr. Matthew Schulman. Whatever you do, Cindy, don’t get rid of that famous mole!

[From In Touch, print edition, March 19, 2012]

Cindy is 46-years-old now, and she’s always made her living off her looks, so aging in the public eye must be extraordinarily difficult to manage. She must feel enormous pressure to look young, but like CB stated this morning, botox and fillers often have the unintended effect of making one look older, so it’s quite the tricky little paradox. I really do think that Cindy’s eye makeup is doing her no favors in these 2012 photos though, and one thing cannot be denied — her body still looks spectacular.

Back in 2009, Cindy looked much more like herself. That bod never quits, does it?

Here’s 2012 Cindy again. With any luck, these are only temporary fillers and botox that will wear off. Cindy has already demonstrated that she’s capable of aging gracefully, and I’d like to see a grand return to a more natural look for her.

Brandi Glanville: ‘It’s hard to grow older, especially in this town. I’ll cop to Botox, fillers’

Posted: 09 Mar 2012 06:27 AM PST


“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’” Brandi Glanville has long been the subject of plastic surgery rumors. She’s a lovely woman, although you can tell by looking at her that she’s had Botox and fillers. I’m currently in a rural-ish area on the east coast, but I have friends in more urban ares that have had injectables, and I’ve written here about considering it. It does seem much more common in California. I think if I was living in a city again and a girlfriend recommended a dermatologist that there are times when I would have gotten it done. Now that I’ve been writing about celebrities for a while, and watching their frozen faces try to emote, I’m cautiously staying away. That’s just to say that I understand how it’s easier to get those procedures when all your friends are doing it, it’s accessible, and has somehow become the new “normal.” Looking in from the outside, it does look bizarre and unnatural.

In a new interview in Shape, Brandi explains that she has had Botox and fillers, and admits that it’s difficult to get older. I especially like what she says about how she’s in the dating pool with much younger women and feels the pressure to look younger. Here’s part of what Brandi said, thanks to Radar:

The gorgeous Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star opens up to SHAPE in an exclusive new interview, revealing all of her plastic surgery secrets, as well as how she copes with all of the criticism.

"Having grown up modeling, I'm very self-aware of my physical appearance," explains the mother of Eddie Cibrian's children. "It's hard to grow older, especially in this town where everyone is perfect! They're all 20 years old and gorgeous, and I'm now in the same dating pool as them, yikes, it's really hard! This town makes you insecure."

In addition to lasers and photo facials to deal with her issue of adult acne and Melasma, the 39-year-old beauty dmits that she gets a little more help looking fabulous.

"And yes, I'll cop to a few plastic surgery procedures like Botox and fillers," she admits. "I think everyone should do what makes them feel good but remember: Less is more!"

Although she is enjoying her life in the public eye, Brandi admits that not everyone is a fan of hers.

"People have said horrible things like I'm 'plastic' and I'm a bad mom. I think after three years of hearing it I have just developed a thick skin," she says. "I think it's human nature, and I know what they say isn't true so I've learned to not take it to heart."

[From Radar]

There’s more with Brandi at Shape.com, including Brandi’s diet and exercise plan. She just says she tries to achieve balance with her diet, and that she has had the same Pilates trainer for the past nine years, whom she sees three times a week. She also always takes the stairs instead of using elevators, which is great advice that I never seem to follow.

As far as the Botox and fillers stuff, it’s nice that Brandi is admitting it and not trying to fudge like she hasn’t done it or has only had facials or something. I think Brandi should lay off for a while. Too much of that can result in a very unnatural look that doesn’t look “normal” outside of certain pockets of the US where everyone does it. She’s only 39 and the Botox has the effect of making women look older than they are.

This week’s Enquirer has the news that Bruce Willis’ very pregnant wife, Emma Hemming, is considering joining RHOBH at the insistence of her good friend, Sylvester Stallone’s wife Jennifer Flavin. Hemming is also close friends with Brandi Glanville from their modeling days. The Enquirer quotes a source show says “Jen [Flavin] thinks the two of them together can ‘take over’ the show – and she loves that their hubbies are friends too.” Stallone is supposedly supportive while Bruce Willis is the hold out. Bruce is “wary because Emma is about to become a first-time mom. He’s also not thrilled about having a reality TV crew following them everywhere.” I can’t imagine Bruce greenlighting this in any way, and I hope it’s not true. If it is, it’s a surefire way to muck up his marriage.

Kristen Stewart in leopard-print Louis Vuitton: adorable and much-improved?

Posted: 09 Mar 2012 05:58 AM PST

I'm not sure why or how I missed these photos yesterday, because I was looking for them. These are photos from two nights ago, at the Paris Fashion Week event, "Louis Vuitton – Marc Jacobs: The Exhibition". I want to start with Kristen Stewart, because this is maybe the best she's ever looked, in my opinion. The thing with Kristen is that she's a pretty girl, but she messes up her "look" very often. Bad styling, bad hair, bad posture, lip-biting, eye-rolling, it all contributes to her fugging up a decent look. Even when she's wearing an evening gown and her hair and makeup are wonderful, she usually looks uncomfortable and grim. But here, at this event, in these photos – this is a great look for her. This is what she should be aiming for more often. It's young. It's rock n' roll. It's cute. She's not overly-styled. She's not uncomfortable (or, she's not any more uncomfortable than she usually is). This is her best Paris Fashion Week appearance!

This was also her last appearance at Paris Fashion Week – soon after this event, Kristen and Robert Pattinson flew to LA. But they still had this night! And Sparkles even came out for it too – here's a photo of Sparkles doing his "model-face" at the Marc Jacobs event.

You know who else looked surprisingly great? Sarah Jessica Parker! I know, I know. This decade-old Vuitton dress is "too young" for her, but I still think she looks awesome here.

And finally, let's talk about Marc Jacobs and his friend Peter Marino. I mean… sure. Jacobs likes the rough trade. I think that's been established. So… I'm not offended by this in the larger sense. Although I hate that Marc paired his pink dress with those fug shoes. THAT is what bugs me.

Angelina Jolie appears at the “Women in the World” Summit, speaks about Somalia

Posted: 09 Mar 2012 05:35 AM PST

Here are some photos of Angelina Jolie in NYC yesterday for the Women in the World Summit. Yesterday was International Women's Day, and many influential and powerful women gathered in at the Lincoln Center for this summit. Angelina was invited to speak about the refugee crisis in Somalia, illustrating the ongoing Somali catastrophe with a story about Dr. Hawa Abdi, who runs a medical/refugee camp, which has been overrun by militants (who have ties to al-Qaeda). Jolie was also invited to introduce Rwandan genocide survivor Sandra Uwiringiyimana. When Ms. Sandra Uwiringiyimana came to the stage, she thanked Angelina for "taking justice into her home and hands and doing incredible things." I'm including a partial video of Angelina speaking about Dr. Abdi's camp in Somalia, and you can see more videos here at The Daily Beast.

As you can see, Angelina was wearing simple black pants, a silky-looking white blouse and a shiny white jacket for the event. I might be imagining things, but it seemed like The Leg managed to come out to play a little bit in some of these photos. The Leg was all, "I'm wearing pants, but you should still pay attention to me!" Speaking of The Great Leg Debacle (seriously, people are still talking about it), it's being reported by some tabloid sources that Angelina is still "horrified" by everything that went down at the Oscars, and Angelina has settled the blame squarely on her stylist, Jennifer Rade. A source tells a British tab, "She pays her stylist Jen a lot of money to pick things that will make her look drop-dead gorgeous, but she felt the dress swallowed her up and she had to stick her leg, or it looked like she was wearing a bin bag.” Whatever. I mean, I've been hoping that Angelina would fire Rade for a long, long time. But I doubt it's happening.

Last story – The Hollywood Reporter has a story about Angelina's next project, Maleficent. That's where the Sleeping Beauty story is told through the eyes of the villainess, Maleficent, played by Angelina. Allegedly, the film is slated to begin production in June, and Elle Fanning is being considered for the part of Aurora/Sleeping Beauty. Those fairy-tale re-tellings are getting so popular these days – I'm hoping that this one is more Snow White & the Huntsman as opposed to that crappy-looking Mirror, Mirror.

Alex Skarsgard & Charlize Theron might be hooking up in random gay bars

Posted: 09 Mar 2012 04:41 AM PST

Ever since Kate Bosworth and Alex Skarsgard split up last year, Alex has maintained a much, much lower profile. I have no idea who or what he's been doing. I don't imagine he spends too many nights alone (he's got that Viking Sex God thing going on, after all), but it doesn't seem like Alex jumped into anything serious, or that he was even boning the same girl two nights in a row ("serious"). But that might be changing… The Enquirer reports that Alex might be quietly loved up with CHARLIZE!! Ol' Rose-Boobs Theron. Chelsea Handler's latest BFF. Charlize Theron, the Oscar winner who was boning Ryan Reynolds for a while last summer, just before Blake Lively got to him. THAT Charlize.

Charlize Theron has fallen for a vampire! Theron, 36, is enjoying a secret romance with Alexander Skarsgard, 35. Although Skarsgard has put the bite on Charlize, the two are meeting in unlikely places to give their relationship a chance to blossom away from the public eye, say sources.

Observors recently spotted the pair snuggling at the Gym Sportsbar, a gay nightspot in West Hollywood.

"They ordered two beers and went to sit on the patio," an eyewitness told The Enquirer. "I realized it was Charlize and her date was Alexander Skarsgard. It was clear they were a couple, holding hands and staring into each other's eyes.

"People said hello, and they were really nice. After about 45 minutes, they left with their arms around each other and drove off in the same care."

Charlize is "crazy for Alexander, and he's nuts about her," said a close source. "They've both been through some bad breakups and want to keep the romance to themselves for the time being. They figured no one would notice them at a gay bar."

Both Charlize and Alexander "have been scarred by love affairs gone wrong," said the close source. "Now, with each other, they will perhaps find love and happiness they both deserve."

[From The Enquirer, print edition]

While this is hot (anything involving Alex is hot, though), I'm also a little bit creeped out. You know why? They're too much alike. They even look alike. They're both crazy tall and all limbs, both with blonde hair and blue eyes, both in their mid-30s. It's brother-sister, right? There's something odd about the pairing. Still, on paper, it seems like a good match. They're close in age, she's got more stature but he's a rising star with a lot of heat around him. Now, nobody's marriage got 'wrecked but Alex was rumored to be getting "friendly" with Lizzie Olsen at the Spirit Awards and at the post-Oscars Vanity Fair party. It's not like Alex and Lizzie were coupled up officially though – maybe it was just a flirtation. Or maybe this Charlize thing is BS. Or maybe he's boning both of them.

Also, I don't know what to think about the gay bar stuff. That kind of set off my radar/gaydar. Alex has had gay rumors for a while, so it's possible that Charlize has just found her latest gay BFF. Stacie (who scans the tabs here) suggested that he name them "CharSkar". I kind of like Charex, though.

In Touch: Cameron Diaz, 39, “won’t read scripts if the character is 40″

Posted: 09 Mar 2012 04:30 AM PST

In past interviews, Cameron Diaz has always sounded so Zen about aging. Especially after her father died several years ago, Cameron always sounded content with her life, comfortable in her own skin, the perpetual sun-kissed, easy-going California Girl. And then Alex Rodriguez happened. And everything went to sh-t. Camy bulked up like a 'roid monster, she started acting like A-Rod was the best thing that ever happened to her, and her face… well, her face has never been the same. Sometimes she looks almost normal, but most of the time she looks jacked, waxy, Botoxy, and full of fillers. Oh, and post-A-Rod, she also got herself a set of bolt-ons, just like A-Rod always wanted. The whole Camy situation is a hot mess.

I bring this up because this little In Touch story made me sad. I'm sad because I believe it. I'm sad because this is Hollywood – even Cameron Diaz, once the highest-paid woman in the industry, is being told (in so many words) that she's too old to play "The Girl". The problem is that Camy still thinks she's up for all of The Girl parts.

Cameron Diaz doesn't want to act to her age: although the actress is turning the big 4-0 in August, she wants to remain in her dirty 30s on-screen.

"She won't read scripts if the character is 40," an insider tells In Touch. "Her team asks that the age be changed in the script for Cameron to read for the part."

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

I mentioned in another post that I recently saw Bad Teacher – I actually liked it. I liked her in that role of a 30-something, drunk, pothead teacher who is terrible at her job. Camy is a gifted comedienne, an underrated actress and for the past decade, she's gotten the first look at some of the best scripts. To give Cameron some credit – some of her career choices indicate that she is interested in branching out beyond comedies, beyond playing "The Girl". But given her relatively new "makeover" and what it says about her (insecure?), it feels like Camy is in for a rough couple of years as she makes the transition from lead actress to character actress.

Speaking of, have you seen the trailers for What To Expect When You're Expecting? I'm embarrassed for everyone involved.

Jessica Biel flashes engagement ring, fights with Justin Timberlake’s mom

Posted: 09 Mar 2012 04:28 AM PST

Finally! Us Weekly got their hands on the FIRST photos of Jessica Biel's engagement ring – you can see it here (you have to scroll down a bit). It's funny how Us Weekly keeps getting all of the "breaking news" stories about Jessica Biel, isn't it? It's almost like this photo-op was arranged on purpose with an exclusive photo agency so the first pics would be guaranteed to only the biggest media outlets, like Us Weekly and People. Weird. As for the ring… CB and I think it's kind of fug. It looks like a decent-sized rock, maybe a princess cut, but the setting is just awful. CB called it "chunky". I complained about the "twirls". I wonder if Justin picked it out, or Jessica chose it for herself? Because I think if Biel was choosing, she would have gotten a simpler, cleaner setting – that seems to be her style.

In other Biel-Timberlake news, The Enquirer reports this week that Jessica is fighting with her future mother-in-law. You knew that was going to happen – JT is a total mama's boy. I doubt he's ever stood up to his mom, and he certainly won't start on behalf of his bride.

Jessica Biel is locking horns with Justin Timberlake's mom – and neither woman is willing to back down. Jessica has her heart set on a low-key, private affair in the mountains of Colorado where she grew up, while Justin's mother Lynn Harless wants the pair to splurge on a star-studded extravaganza at the Bacara Resort & Spa in Santa Barbara, California.

Lynn even reportedly wants the two to sell the rights to their wedding for a flasshy magazine spread!

"Everyone thought Jessica might become a bridezilla, but instead it's Lynn who's turning out to be the villain," a source tells The Enquirer. "Lynn has become incredibly hands-on and pushy as planning for the wedding gets underway. Because Justin is her only child, she has dreamed of a huge, glitzy affair for him ever since he was born. Lynn also wants everyone to know about the occasion and thinks they should sell the wedding rights in a magazine deal so Justin can share his special day with all of his fans."

Jessica wants the event to be a smaller affair and closed-off to the public. Jessica feels she and Justin already live in the spotlight, and she wants their wedding day to be intimate and out of the public eye.

"The bottom line is that it's not about Lynn and what she wants for Justin," noted the source. "It's Jessica's special day, too."

[From The Enquirer, print edition]

As if we needed more awful evidence that this marriage was doomed from the start. Granted, lots of brides fight with their future mother-in-laws. But I do think Justin's mommy issues will be yet another problem in this completely disastrous union. God, I'm actually starting to feel bad for Biel. And then I remember… this is all she's got going on right now. This is her career. Being in the tabloids, flashing her engagement ring, these stories – that's what's keeping her relevant. Which makes me doubt that she really does want a small, private wedding. Jessica probably wants to sell her wedding photos too – so maybe Justin doesn't want it?
