Kate Bosworth shares a stylist with Sienna Miller & Rosie: surprising?

Posted: 15 Mar 2012 08:49 AM PDT

Here are some new photos of Kate Bosworth, for no other reason than I wanted to talk about her. It always surprises me that The Bos is still a thing, that people are still interested in talking about her, that she still gets cast in movies, that she's got a boyfriend, and modeling contracts, and a Twitter account. As for these photos, I like The Bos's outfit, surprisingly enough. I usually only like her on a red carpet, very rarely do I like her casual "street" wear. But this is nice. Skinny jeans (which work on her), booties, two cute layered tops and lots of jewelry. This probably isn't her street wear, though – I'm thinking that she's just come out of a meeting. Fame Pictures notes that she was leaving the SAG building.

Speaking of The Bos's style, this week's Hollywood Reporter cover story is all about Hollywood stylists. The Bos's stylist, Cher Coulter, is profiled. I didn't know The Bos had a stylist, but there you go. Coulter also styles Sienna Miller (mind blown), Elizabeth Olsen (I can see that) and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (mind blown). Obviously, Coulter has a thing for Burberry, because three of those ladies are associated with the brand to varying degrees. Here's THR's write-up on The Bos's stylist:

Cher Coulter:

British stylist Coulter studied at Central St. Martins and launched her own menswear line, AKA (now defunct), right out of school. She came to Los Angeles on a whim about 10 years ago and ended up styling a photo shoot for Flaunt magazine with Orlando Bloom (she was friends with him in London before he became famous).

Now fashion girls Bosworth, Miller and Huntington-Whiteley look to Coulter to rock their red-carpet style. Says Huntington-Whiteley: "I was looking for a stylist to help with my Transformers press tour last summer, and I asked my publicist, 'Who styles Kate Bosworth?' because I've always admired her style."

The model-turned-actress was at first put off by Coulter's first name ("Sooo L.A. sounding!"), but after the stylist made a house call, the Brits hit it off.

"It was like … she's English, she's hired," jokes Huntington-Whiteley. Coulter describes the Transformers actress' red-carpet style as "straight-up cool, classic and sexy."

A few of their stellar moments include a shimmery va-va-voom red Antonio Berardi dress at the film's New York premiere ("It ended up being a bit of a Jessica Rabbit moment," says Huntington-Whiteley) and another red Berardi, this one a knockout cap-sleeve fitted column, at the post-Oscar Vanity Fair party.

Coulter also co-designs, with Bosworth, a jewelry collection for online style site JewelMint. For breakout indie actress Olsen, Coulter put together chic, young Chanel, Chloe and Balmain looks during awards season and dressed her in a sunshine-yellow, graphically beaded long-sleeve minidress by Emilio Pucci at the Critics' Choice Awards.

"A great awards-season dress is one that you look back at 10 years later and think it's a 'wow' dress," says Coulter. "It stands the test of time."

While I would never say "Get me Kate Bosworth's stylist!" I would say "Get me Rosie's stylist!" I like the way Rosie is styled almost always. Which makes me think Cher is really good at her job, and that she takes on clients who already have a good eye. You can read the full Hollywood Reporter cover story here – they also profile Angelina Jolie's stylist, Jennifer Rade, the woman responsible for all of Angelina's trash-bag dresses. And The Leg. I would love it if Coulter took on Angelina.

Ashley Judd’s rep explains her puffy face: she has a sinus infection

Posted: 15 Mar 2012 08:08 AM PDT


Yesterday we ran a story about Ashley Judd’s face looking puffy. News outlets were speculating that she’d had fillers. I wrote that her face may have been filled out due to a medical condition and/or steroids, and a lot of you agreed. Some of you mentioned that Ashley is rumored to be bipolar, and that a side effect of bipolar medication can be weight gain and water retention. Also, Ashley had her adorable dog Buttermilk with her during an interview, and Buttermilk was seen at the airport with her wearing a “service dog” vest for some reason. So it sounds like something is going on medically with her. We do know that she sought treatment for depression several years ago as she was open about it at the time.

Ashley’s rep has issued a statement to explain his client’s changed appearance. He claims that Ashley has a sinus infection and is on medication for it. I don’t think that it explains what’s going on. They don’t owe it to us to explain or anything, but given all the coverage of this, I definitely get why they did. Here’s more:

“For the record, this is unequivocally not true,” Judd’s rep, Cara Tripicchio, told E! News. “Ashley has been battling an ongoing, serious sinus infection and flu. Therefore, Ashley has been on a heavy dose of medication to overcome it so she could get on a plane and travel to Toronto and New York to fulfill her commitment of completing four consecutive days of press to promote her new show Missing.”

Judd herself tweeted as much this morning, writing, “Thanks to all asking how I’ve been feeling. still very sick (flu + viral infection in sinuses = wicked) but staying positive & having fun.”

Hard as it may be in the wake of the speculation.

“This may have contributed to her face appearing ‘puffy’ on the talk show in Toronto, however anyone who is truly paying attention and not looking to perpetuate a ridiculous story can look online further at photos of her last night during an Apple Store event in NYC and see for themselves that there is zero sign of plastic surgery, puffiness, fillers, etc., that has become a silly and erroneous topic of conversation. Ashley is a natural beauty enjoying her 40′s gracefully.”

[From E! Online]

I googled “Tamiflu side effects,” and it’s possible that this explains why Ashley’s face is puffy. One of the side effects of an allergy to Tamiflu is “facial swelling and severe nausea.”

Well I’m not buying the “natural beauty” part of this denial, but I hope that whatever is going on with Ashley that she’s ok. She still bugs me. As I said in the earlier post, whenever I gain weight it goes straight to my face so I do feel bad for pointing it out with her.

In Touch: Jessica Simpson is naming her 10-pound daughter Maxwell, or “Maxi”

Posted: 15 Mar 2012 08:04 AM PDT

Even though I think this story is possibly/probably BS, it's getting a lot of coverage and though it pains me to admit it, In Touch Weekly might have a real source who is really spilling the dirt. According to ITW's source, Jessica Simpson is naming her 10-pound baby girl… Maxwell. Jess and Eric will nickname her "Maxi". Maxi Johnson. Maxi pad joke, etc.

Choosing a baby name can be tricky, so it's no surprise that Jessica Simpson and fiancé Eric Johnson were, until recently, at an impasse about what to call their soon-to-be born daughter. "They tossed around a lot of names, including some wacky ones like Zinfandel, but couldn't agree on anything," a family friend confides.

Now, the pair has come to an understanding, and In Touch — which was first to break the news both of Jessica's pregnancy and of the baby's sex — can exclusively reveal the unusual (for a girl) moniker. "They're going to call her Maxwell, Maxi for short," the friend says. Maxwell is Eric's middle name, and also his beloved grandma's maiden name. "Jessica wanted a name with meaning."

And not only has Jessica's been seen wearing a necklace with a diamond "M" pendant in honor of her little bundle of joy, the couple also already ordered onesies monogrammed with the name! Jessica, 31, is now set to give birth on April 20, three weeks earlier than her original due date.

"She's gained so much weight and the baby is so big that doctors pushed up the date," reveals her friend. And while the thought of giving birth freaks her out, "Jessica and Eric are so eager to meet Maxwell!"

[From In Touch Weekly]

LMAO at "Zinfandel". I can just see Jessica, sober for the first time in years, saying, "How about… Scotch? How about Jack Daniel? Whiskey is a cute name, y'all! Scotch Johnson. We should do that! Or White Russian Johnson! How about Merlot?"

I have to admit, though, I usually loves boys' names for girls. My Indian name is a very common boys' name (in India), and I love it when a girl has a really fancy name but she shortens it to something boyish. Like "Charlotte" becomes "Charlie" or "Samantha" becomes "Sam". I always like that. But Maxwell into Maxi? No.

What could be some of the other "M" names if Jessica really is wearing an "M" pendant, though? Maxine. Meric ("M" plus Eric). Meredith. Messica. Marguerite. OMG, it's Margarita, isn't it? OMG. I figured it out. Margarita Tequila Johnson.

Michelle Obama placed a Keibler-less George Clooney beside her at the state dinner

Posted: 15 Mar 2012 07:35 AM PDT

I wish we had photos from last night's White House state dinner for UK prime minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha, but we don't. You can see some photos here at The Daily Mirror. The Obamas got a great turnout for the dinner, both with American and British celebrities. My boy Damian Lewis from Homeland came with his wife (they're both British) – apparently, Pres. Obama LOVES Homeland (it's a really good show). Oh, and English actor Idris Elba was there!!! You know Pres. Obama loves The Wire, so it was probably awesome for him to invite Stringer Bell. Harvey Weinstein and his British wife, Georgina Chapman, were there. And the Earl of Grantham!!! Hugh Bonneville was invited, because FLOTUS loves some Downton Abbey. Bless her. But my favorite story coming out of the state dinner is this – George Clooney came solo! No Stacy Keibler. And to reward him for his escort-less appearance to the White House, Michelle Obama seated Clooney right beside her – you can see the photo here. Oh course the British tabloids are trying to make this into a "Michelle Obama is not immune to The Clooney's many charms" story.

Life can't be easy when your husband is the President, so good on Michelle Obama for basically using a formal dinner at The White House to invite everyone who she thinks is fit off the telly round.

Last night, Washington's First Lady and her old man held an event to honour David Cameron and his wife Samantha, who are in the country on a state visit. And, because they damn well can, the Obamas decided to turn the White House dinner into a British/American themed party to celebrate the best talent in each country. We're not talking artists, writers and scientists either – we're talking A-list celebrities.

The first Hollywood star Michelle decided to invite was George Clooney, who found himself sitting next to the President's wife at the table over dinner. Surprisingly, there was no sign of George's girlfriend Stacey Keibler – Michelle probably has access to those memory wipers on Men In Black or something.

As a huge fan of Downton Abbey, Michelle also invited Hugh Bonneville and wife Lulu Williams to the affair, no doubt to grill him about the upcoming third series.

Meanwhile, Barack is said to be a big Homeland fan, so invited star of the show Damian Lewis and his missus Helen McCrory along for dinner. Anna Wintour landed an invite, probably so that she could judge who was best dressed out of Michelle –in Marchesa – and head guest Samantha – in Georgina Chapman.

But that must have been an awkward decision for Anna, with Michelle obviously worthy of the title, although the designer of Sam's dress was actually there with husband Harvey Weinstein.

Other celebrity types on the guest list included actor Idris Elba, while Richard Branson also managed to sneak in. And who provided the entertainment? Mumford and Sons.

[From The Mirror]

So let me get this straight – Stacy Keibler is good enough to come to the Oscars, where she's paraded around with the likes of truly talented actors and genuine A-list celebrities, but when it comes to a White House state dinner, even Clooney is embarrassed to bring out his escort? That sounds about right. Can you imagine Stacy's attitude if she had been invited? The horror. So… do you think this is a signal that Keibler is on her way out? God knows. Is it a signal that Michelle Obama has a little crush on Clooney? If I was Michelle, I would have wanted to sit next to Idris Elba. I would love to watch that man eat. You know what I mean?

Angelina Jolie, Shiloh & Zahara have fun on a boat in Amsterdam: adorable?

Posted: 15 Mar 2012 07:04 AM PDT

After Angelina Jolie went to The Hague to see the International Criminal Court's first conviction (of a Ugandan warlord), Angelina decided to lighten her day. She had flown to Amsterdam with her two older daughters, Shiloh and Zahara, so they had a girls' outing on a boat. You know how much the Jolie-Pitt children love boats, right? Remember Venice? Those kids love boats, and they love gelato. Anyway, the paparazzi got lots of photos of Zahara and Shiloh playing around on the boat. The girls were even making faces at the paparazzi, and the photos are just… too cute. They just seem like really happy little girls. Even Angelina was laughing at their antics.

Meanwhile, OK! Magazine is still claiming that Brad and Angelina will have a wedding this year – I guess they don't realize that Brad's Oscar campaign is over? Not only will there be a wedding this year, but OK also thinks that Angelina will be giving birth to twin boys in the fall. I'm including a profile photo of Angelina in Amsterdam – does she look pregnant? With twins? As you can imagine, Gossip Cop is calling BS on the story. Why don't the tabs ever let me write fake Brangelina stories? "Empress Zahara demands wedding, Angelina and Brad acquiesce!" "Zahara declares: blue hair ribbons for ALL!" "Zahara does not approve of Shiloh's mullet, says her parents cannot marry until Shiloh gets a proper haircut."

Jennifer Lopez “thinks she is very lucky to have met Casper Smart.” For real.

Posted: 15 Mar 2012 05:00 AM PDT

These are some days-old photos of Jennifer Lopez on the set of her new music video in Acapulco, Mexico. I never got around to writing about them because I honestly didn't think the photos were all that interesting. I guess it's interesting that Casper Smart – who is seen in some of these pics – is described as the "director" of the music video. Like, he's all legit now. Street cred, yo. He's directing his girl's music video. He has a JOB.

Now that Casper has a job (which his girlfriend gave him, maybe out of pity), it's time for another round of "Is Jennifer going to end up married to this facially challenged d-bag?" Survey says: yeah, probably. Read this sketchy story from People:

Is Jennifer Lopez ready to walk down the aisle with Casper Smart?

Speculation ricocheted around the web that the pop star, 42, and her beau, 24, might be ready to tie the knot when fashion designer Roberto Cavalli seemed to send out an intriguing Tweet to his followers on Monday.

“Today , Jenifer Lopez. Call me…… She ask me. To create a special dress. For her next weding. !” he appeared to Tweet. “Wich color … Do you advise me. ?”

But any imminent plans for the couple to wed are not true. Cavalli’s rep tells PEOPLE that the designer’s account had been hacked and “therefore it’s completely false,” and a close Lopez source says, “They are not getting married. They are not even engaged.”

(Lopez’s rep did not respond to multiple requests for comment.)

But that doesn’t mean Lopez and Smart aren’t still going strong. In fact, the couple seem to be getting along better than ever. Just this week, the pair spent time in Acapulco, Mexico, where Lopez filmed a music video. And Smart has been spotted supporting Lopez during live tapings of American Idol.

“Jennifer thinks she is very lucky to have met Casper,” says the close source. “He is everything that Marc wasn’t: kind, supportive, appreciative…There is a lot of love between [them]. He treats her like a queen.”

Smart has been bonding with Lopez’ twins Max and Emme, 4, as well. “He is great with Max and Emme and genuinely cares about them,” says the source.

Meanwhile, Lopez and Marc Anthony, 43, who split in July of last year, have still not finalized their divorce, although a source close to Anthony tells PEOPLE that they filed “months ago.”

[From People]

My head couldn't hit the desk fast enough with "Jennifer thinks she is very lucky to have met Casper." Girl… get it together. I still can't believe we're watching J.Lo repeat – she already had a backup dancer husband! Cris Judd, y'all!! Cris was The Original Casper.

Incidentally, in the new issue of Vogue, Jennifer's on-again manager Benny Medina (didn't she fire him at some point only to rehire him?) talked about Jennifer's man issues. Medina thinks J.Lo is a serial monogamist, and he described her problem:

"The thing that I always sort of wished is that she would give herself time to just naturally meet someone, instead of having obsessive guys pursue her… The ease with which that obsession becomes a relationship I think sometimes works against her ability to have a real meaningful relationship. And she never half does anything. When she commits to anything in her work, her life, or her relationships, she is in it. She's not oblivious to her own reality right now, as in, 'Damn, I'm 42 with a 24-year-old. Why?' We talked about it yesterday… She was just like, 'It's not even the age, Benny. It's actually that I just came out of a relationship where I felt like I was kind of not getting what I needed. And I'm open! So somebody who steps in right now and is actually touching me in a way – it's very fertile ground!'"

[Medina's comments via Radar]

Well… Medina is really putting it out there, isn't he? Sort of. I think this is a version of Jennifer's situation, but it's not quite the truth. Medina frames Jennifer's man problems as "So many men are obsessed with her, and she falls for dudes who worship her and then builds the relationship from there." While you could make that argument with Jennifer's relationship with Marc Anthony, I don't really see it as a pattern, you know? Mostly Jennifer just goes for whatever low-hanging fruit is right in front of her.

Lindsay Lohan: “Scrape? This is all a complete lie… these false accusations are absurd”

Posted: 15 Mar 2012 04:26 AM PDT

And just think… I was actually doubting The Crackie Method. I was actually thinking to myself, "Hey, Lindsay Lohan might finish her probation and be on the right side of the law for half a second." But a crackhead never loses her (prison) stripes, and thus, we have a new scandal. I was updating the post throughout the day yesterday, but at some point I stopped because there was just too much information and the stories were varying too much. Basically, Lindsay Lohan was at the Hookah Lounge two nights ago, when she got into some kind of hit-and-run situation. Some say she clipped the manager of The Hookah Lounge. Some say she just scraped his car. Some say she barely grazed everything. I don't even know. When it's The Cracken, my assumption is always the worst case scenario. So here's some more stuff that went down, in convenient bullet points:

*In the immediate aftermath of the hit-and-run, the LAPD spokesperson said, "Early this morning, it appears Lindsay Lohan was cornered in a narrow parking lot by paparazzi and she grazed another vehicle in her attempt to get away. Officers responded, and when they got there the owner of the car said there was no injury or damage to his vehicle. This is an extremely minor case.”

*After refusing medical attention at the scene of the incident, the Hookah Lounge manager did go to the emergency room hours later, where he filed a police report and now "plans on pressing charges." Oh, and he has an attorney. Radar says that prosecutors and probation officials have been notified. A source tells Radar, "The manager is claiming that he is having trouble walking, and that Lindsay ran over his foot. The alleged victim is in the process of filing a police report, and there are two uniformed LAPD cops at his bedside, and he is in the process of relaying his version of events. Lindsay’s probation officer, and the two prosecutors handling her theft case have been notified that Lindsay is being accused of hit-and-run, which would be a misdemeanor if she is charged."

*The Cracken released a statement to the press: “Lindsay stopped by the club to drop in on a friend’s birthday party. When she arrived, there were so many photographers there that she decided to leave and never even got out of the car. At no point was there ever any indication that her car hit anyone or anything. We are confident this matter will be cleared up in the next few days.”

*The Cracken then tweeted: "Scrape? This is all a complete lie. I’ve been at community service. Last night, I attempted to wish a friend happy birthday, which I didn’t even get to do because I was freaked out by all of the paparazzi. These false accusations are absurd." I love the inclusion of “I’ve been at community service.” She’s such a little angel, isn’t she? “I can’t have messed up, because I’m still doing the community service from the last time I messed up!!!”

*A source close to the Cracken tells Radar, “Lindsay is adamant that she absolutely didn’t hit anyone while she was driving. Lindsay is extremely upset that there would be speculation she would ditch the scene of a potential crime scene. She is days away from being taken off formal probation. Lindsay has talked to her attorney Shawn Holley, who has subsequently reached out to cops from the LAPD Hollywood division. Would it make sense for Lindsay to flee the scene with tons of paparazzi? No, she wouldn’t have done that if there was a remote possibility she had hit someone." Smells like Classic Honig to me.

*Interesting factoid: LL was stopped by the police just minutes after the hit-and-run incident, but she was no longer driving. She was in the passenger seat, and an insider (cough) tells Radar, "Lindsay was absolutely 100% sober, and cops had no reason to arrest her." Cough. Cough.

*Lindsay's next probation progress report/court date: March 29. LL is "freaking out" over the "very real possibility" she could go back to jail.

*The campaign to discredit The Hookah Lounge manager's story is already underway. Check this Radar story for the Lohan talking points. Of course the dude isn't credible. But I still hope he presses charges and pursues the crap about of this thing.

So… in the end, what's going to happen? Considering TMZ reports and blog comments aren't admissible in court, I'm going to say NADA. The Cracken will live to clip more pedestrians. And trust me, she will.

Kate Upton was Mean Girl’d by the other Sports Illustrated models

Posted: 15 Mar 2012 04:22 AM PDT

Even though pretty much everyone expected Kate Upton to be this year's Sports Illustrated cover girl, once the cover happened with Kate and her Photoshopped mons, people started hating on this 19-year-old girl right and left. It wasn't even anything she had done – she was criticized for her downmarket "look" and for not having the super-skinny high-fashion "look" that goes well with editorials. Kate responded to those criticisms pretty well, saying that she's happy with her career as-is, and that she loves her curves and she thinks she's a healthy body-image role model.

Well, you knew that wasn't going to be the end of it. Page Six reports that when Kate and the other SI models were in Las Vegas last month, the other models Mean Girl'd her. Poor Kate.

Rival models already have the knives out for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover beauty Kate Upton. There was a frosty atmosphere during a launch event last month in front of Caesars Palace in Vegas for this year's issue.

Sources said when the 18 SI models, including Izabel Goulart, Irina Shayk, Chrissy Teigen, Anne V., Genevieve Morton and Julie Henderson lined up for a photo, Upton, standing on one side, was asked to move to the middle of the group by a producer.

Upton, at first, was hesitant but moved after further prompting. But some of the ladies at the shoot weren't pleased at making space — an onlooker said one model rolled her eyes while another mumbled under her breath.

When Upton asked what she said, the model snapped, "Don't worry about me, honey, cause I'm not worrying about you!" A rep for Upton didn't get back to us.

An SI rep said, "If there were words exchanged, it's news to me. Kate was elegant and a complete force of spirit throughout the launch."

[From Page Six]

Bitchy models will be bitchy models. Haters gonna hate. These girls are just jealous. I know everyone says "Just jelly!" when someone is hatin', but in this case, it's true. Those girls wanted the cover. They wish they had Kate's buzz. And they probably think Kate is "downmarket" too. Poor Kate. She's only 19 years old for goodness sake.

Whitney Houston’s mom slams Bobbi Kristina’s adopted brother for romance

Posted: 15 Mar 2012 04:22 AM PDT


Video of Bobbi Kristina and Nick together is here

This is one controversial story that I didn’t want to discuss when it came out, but now that there’s more news about it we may as well. I’ll start with an anecdote that comes to mind. About 15 years ago, when I was in college, I met a couple through a mutual friend that kind of blew my mind. They were step-brother and step-sister, not related at all except by marriage, and they acted like best buddies in public until one night when they started making out at a party. It skeeved both my friend and me out, but we acted cool about it and tried not to judge. I barely knew the couple and I lost touch with that friend, but I will always remember seeing them make out and wondering how that worked exactly. I have a brother and even if he wasn’t my blood brother I like to think I could never view him that way. Maybe since I have a brother I’m reacting more strongly to this than I otherwise would. (There’s also a couple on “Teen Mom,” Catelynn and Tyler, who are step brother and sister. Their situation is different because Catelynn and Tyler were dating before their parents met and got married.)

As you know Bobbi Kristina Brown, 19, lost her mother Whitney Houston just over a month ago. It’s a lot to deal with at such a young age, and she must be very vulnerable. We heard from Bobbi in an interview with Oprah last weekend. She sounded like she’s coping well, but it just seemed way too soon to be interviewing her. (And one of Bobbi’s aunts agrees.) Bobbi is now involved in what looks like a new romance with her “adopted brother” Nick Gordon, 22. Nick was living with Bobbi and her mom since he was 12, basically for the last 10 years, although he is not related to her at all. He’s currently living with her in the late Whitney’s mansion, and they were recently spotted out kissing and holding hands.

Nick has blasted his critics on twitter, and he sounds like he’s being defensive about the romance, not that he’s denying it at all. Outlets are reporting that Nick is tweeting that he’s not dating Bobbi Kristina, but read these tweets and tell me if he’s defending himself or saying he’s not involved with her. (Note that he seems to have cleaned up this account and I can no longer find these tweets.)

"Yea we got a little closer and what!"

Though he was never formally adopted by Whitney Houston, Gordon was essentially Houston's "adopted son" after the late singer took him in when he was just 12-years old, her brother Michael Houston told ABCNews.com.

Similarly, Bobbi Kristina and Gordon were raised like brother and sister, though they are not blood-related.

"All the haters that don't know us or the real story can't unfollow me. I don't give a f–k," Gordon wrote on Twitter to address the rumors. "I've proved my loyalty to her and the Houston family. I don't owe any of you anything. Ha, I don't even know y'all haters."

Bobbi Kristina's "brother" also added that anyone who thought they were having an incestuous relationship because of the "sibling" label was badly mistaken.

"For the stupid ppl out there, she gave birth to 1 child. And she trusted me with EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!" he wrote.

"She called me her 'God Son,'" he continued. "I swear some ppl in this world act like they don't have a brain …"

[From The Daily News]

Now Bobbi Kristina’s grandmother, Whitney’s mom, has told TMZ off the record that she thinks this is like incest and that Nick is taking advantage of Bobbi. Well, Bobbi is the sole heir to her late mom’s fortune. I wouldn’t be surprised.

Cissy Houston — Whitney Houston’s mom — has reacted fiercely to the video we posted Wednesday … showing Bobbi Kristina and Whitney’s “adopted” son Nick Gordon in a romantic grip, and then kissing (below).

Cissy told a close friend, “What they’re doing is incestuous.” Cissy feels her granddaughter has problems and Nick is taking advantage of her.

Although Whitney never formally adopted Nick, she considered him her son and Bobbi called him her brother. For his part, Nick called Bobbi his sister.

Cissy is so concerned that Bobbi has become impressionable and therefore an easy target for Nick, she’s asking the Whitney Houston Estate to take legal steps to get him evicted from Whitney’s home — where Bobbi Kristina is also living.

[From TMZ]

If they called each other brother and sister for the last 10 years, I don’t really get it. I do understand how relatives could be outraged. It’s not that I think it’s necessarily wrong, and Bobbi deserves some happiness. It’s just that I can’t imagine it personally, if that makes sense. Hopefully they genuinely care for each other and Nick has Bobbi’s best interests at heart.

LeAnn Rimes tries to make Eddie happy by burying the hatchet with Brandi Glanville

I want to thank several commenters for their theories on why LeAnn Rimes canceled a concert in Ohio this past weekend – I thought it was because she's a pretty standard-issue drama queen who was likely hungover. But several commenters pointed out that Eddie was hanging out with several attractive ladies, so LeAnn had to "get sick" and come home so that Eddie would remember that he's married. One of the ladies was Kate del Castillo – check out her Twitter feed here, and she even tweeted a photo of Eddie with a group of people (including ladies!). That must have really upset LeAnn. Poor baby with her poor womanizer husband. I feel so sad for them. Cough.

Anyway, in that same vein of "LeAnn will do anything to keep Eddie happy, just as long as she gets to watch over his wandering dong like a g–damn squinty hawk," Us Weekly reports that LeAnn has "reached out" to Brandi Glanville. LeAnn wants her relationship with Brandi to be less drama-filled. It was Eddie's idea!

LeAnn Rimes would do anything for husband Eddie Cibrian – even make nice with his ex-wife, Brandi Glanville!

"LeAnn realized that if she came to terms with Brandi, it would make Eddie happy," an insider tells Us Weekly of Rimes, a hands-on step mom to Cibrian's sons, Mason and Jake.

"When they drop the kids off at each other's houses, they actually say hi."

LeAnn is also trying to bond with Eddie's buddies. "LeAnn makes sure she's friends with all of Eddie's friends and their wives," adds the source. "He's her everything."

So that's why LeAnn plopped down beside Brandi during the kids' soccer game. She was burying the hatchet. Except… I've always felt that in these kinds of situations, it's the wronged party who gets to decide where, when and how the hatchet is buried. Meaning that it's Brandi's call – she was the one who was cheated on, she's the one who has to see her kids split their time between her and her ex-husband's homewrecker-to-housewife. This report makes it seem like LeAnn is the aggrieved party – which she is, but only in her own mind.

I also found it interesting that LeAnn is trying to get super-chummy with all of Eddie's friends and their wives. She's really keeping her squint squarely on any possible candidates for Eddie's wandering dong, isn't she?
