Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson were loved up at Coachella: cute or try-hard?

Posted: 23 Apr 2012 08:41 AM PDT

This is a question for the Twihards and the non-Twihards: what would you do if you saw Kristen Stewart and/or Robert Pattinson just hanging out at a music festival? Like, you're sitting there, chilling out, watching Hologram Tupac or whatever, and suddenly you notice that Kristen is biting her lip just a few yards away. What would do? Respect their privacy and simply feel puffed up that you and Sparkles are sharing the same Hologram Tupac experience? Or would you go over and make a scene? I'm asking because in these photos of K-Stew and Sparkles at Coachella over the weekend, there is a distinct lack of crazy Twihards making their lives miserable. How did that happen? Did Kristen's Daisy Dukes throw everyone off the scent?

Anyway, against impossible odds, it seems like Kristen and Rob got to do Coachella in true hipster fashion. They weren't swarmed. They weren't torn limb from limb by rabid fan-girls. According to Celebuzz's sources, they spent Sunday hanging out at the beer garden, with Kristen "looking happy and relaxed" as she and Rob hung out with friends – they were seen “laughing and looking like they were having a fun time." Later in the day, at the Radiohead concert, a source says, "They were kissing and holding hands during Radiohead, swaying and singing along to parts [of the songs.]" Aw. That's kind of cute.

Katy Perry has a new “boyfriend” & they were all over each other at Coachella

Posted: 23 Apr 2012 08:35 AM PDT

Katy Perry was at Coachella again for the second weekend in a row, and she had a new “boyfriend” in tow. I put that word in quotes because it seems far too soon for Katy to actually have a boyfriend. Not that she shouldn’t move on after her divorce — Russell Brand certainly has done so with several women already — but this dude wasn’t even around with Katy during last weekend’s Coachella jaunt. Also, one would think that Katy would be reluctant to hook up with anyone after Baptiste Giabiconi tried to get with her for her musical connections, right? Now it seems that Katy is already dating another relative unknown, and they were photographed holding hands and embracing all over during the weekend’s festivities. This guy’s name is Robert Ackroyd (no relation to Dan), and he functions as the guitarist and backing vocalist for the London-based Florence + the Machine. So Katy’s getting with another English dude, and he’s very … tall:

Love is in the air AGAIN for Katy Perry!

Life & Style can exclusively reveal that the pop songstress is dating Florence + the Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd.

“Backstage at the Artist Lounge at Coachella last weekend, Katy kept saying her boyfriend was the guitar player for Florence + the Machine,” a source tells Life & Style. “She and a bunch of friends were supposed to go see Dr. Dre together, but Katy said she was waiting to watch her boyfriend perform!”

And it seemed that they couldn’t get enough of each other at the music festival — the two were spotted holding hands (see photo above) while they watched Katy’s BFF, Rihanna, perform during Calvin Harris’ set on April 15. Days later, Robert even started following Katy on Twitter.

He also referred to her by her initials in a Tweet on April 17, writing: “Best Coachella ever. Scratch that, best weekend ever. Dre, Snoop, Pac, Nate, Fiddy & KP.”

This relationship comes nearly four months after a judge granted a divorce to Katy and Russell Brand. It becomes final in July after the six-month waiting period required by California law.

Since her split from Russell, Katy has also been linked to French model Baptiste Giabiconi.

So what should we make of Katy’s new man? He’s very bland looking but has a decent body. He’s also an up-and-coming musician, which sends out warning flags that he could be interested in Katy for reasons other than mere romance. Hopefully, she’s aware of this potential (since she considers fame to be so disgusting) and will keep this guy in line. Of course, I’ve described Robert as a “relative unknown,” but that only applies on this side of the pond. In the UK, Florence + the Machine has enjoyed much Top 40 success with their two albums. Maybe this guy really digs her and isn’t just looking for stateside publicity. It must suck for Katy to have to worry about being used like that when moving on from a divorce, but maybe I’m mistaking her for the type to dwell upon that sort of thing. What really bugs me though is that this guy doesn’t wear socks with his Nike sneakers.

Let’s talk about Katy’s outfit for a moment, not that it really matters. This midriff-baring number is okay, and Katy certainly has the figure to pull it off. She also looked slightly classier than while wearing last weekend’s see-thru dress and granny panties. That hair is icky though, and Katy should get rid of those extensions because they weigh down her locks. She’s cuter with a shorter, peppier ‘do.

Are Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux engaged and planning a wedding in Crete?

Posted: 23 Apr 2012 07:35 AM PDT

Is this Jennifer Aniston's one-two punch, her real reaction to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's engagemen announcement? First Jennifer's haggard BFF Chelsea Handler gets sent out to rile up the Pity Party, and then TMZ gets a suspicious report about Aniston's planned wedding to Justin Theroux? Is it on? Or is this just knee-jerk reactionary stuff that comes in the wake of Brangelina's engagement? Should Brad and Angelina's names even be mentioned in this post because, obviously, Jennifer and Justin's love is the real thing and they don't CARE about anyone else who is getting engaged or anything?

Jennifer Aniston and boyfriend Justin Theroux are planning a wedding thousands of miles away from Hollywood … TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with the Elounda Beach Hotel in Crete (where Aniston’s dad was born, located about 230 miles south of Greece) tell TMZ … Aniston was there recently, scoping the place out. Our sources say Aniston mentioned a July wedding.

The hotel website boasts a wedding package that includes:

– A dedicated consultant
– Legal, License Paperwork Requirements
– Civil or Religious Ceremony outside of the Hotel's Church
– Bridal Bouquet, Groom’s Boutonniere, decoration of the club car
– Bottle of champagne & Greek Wedding Sweets after the ceremony for the bride & groom

You get all that, plus a series of other complimentary services, for about $2,300.

Aniston made that for roughly 2 seconds of work on “Friends.”

BTW, one of the hotel big wigs says Aniston hasn’t settled on his hotel for the nuptials … as he put it, “She has connections on the other side of the island as well.”

[From TMZ]

Well, if Jennifer and Justin are engaged right now, I don't think this is how we'd hear about it in an official capacity. Jennifer would totally get the cover of People Magazine – "Jennifer Aniston: ENGAGED… Seven Years After Brad!" But this TMZ report certainly adds to the buzz. It actually sort of reminds me of something… remember when Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson announced their engagement back in November of 2010? They announced their engagement a week after Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo announced theirs. It was a pretty obvious move, an attempt to steal focus, to steal your ex's thunder. Or it could have absolutely been true love. You decide.

LeAnn Rimes shows off her giant anniversary present ring: cute or awful?

Posted: 23 Apr 2012 07:04 AM PDT

These are some photos of LeAnn Rimes at the Malibu Beach Inn Hotel yesterday. As we discussed, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian celebrated their one-year anniversary yesterday, and of course, LeAnn spent the whole weekend on Twitter to celebrate. She was tweeting photos of her "presents" and such, which I'll get to in a moment. First, this tweet made me LMAO: "Sitting w/ Eddie reading Kahlil Gibran. Amazing quote…. 'Is there a greater fault than being conscious of the other person’s faults?'" OMG. That just happened. LeAnn and Eddie spent their anniversary sitting around, while Eddie read Khalil Gibran and LeAnn thought about how everyone judged her, and she decided to tweet about it to sound smart and she misspelled the famous writer’s name. Amazing. This is a photo she tweeted, which makes me think that LeAnn was giving Eddie a beej as he was reading. Ah, first anniversaries!

Anyway, LeAnn got presents! Nevermind that she had to give Eddie her credit card and explain to him exactly what kind of jewelry she wanted. She tweeted, "Angels gave me a gift…so pretty! What a great day already!” She probably means that her step-sons gave her this necklace… which I actually kind of like (I would like it more in white gold).

And before that, she tweeted this photo of the ring Eddie gave her. She wrote, "I have a very thoughtful husband with GREAT taste!!!!” Seriously? It's a pretty tacky-looking cocktail ring.

What kind of stone is that? I'm trying to figure it out. I think it's semi-precious. Like, a quartz or jade or maybe green tourmaline. Here's a site with a list of green semi-precious stones: what does it look like to you?

Demi Lovato admits to cocaine abuse: “Promoters gave me drugs and alcohol”

Posted: 23 Apr 2012 07:00 AM PDT

I know that some of you have grown weary of Demi Lovato always talking about her ongoing rehab and recovery issues, and some people have hinted that she’s less than sincere while answering interview questions. Yet I maintain that no matter what, she’s a valuable role model to her young fans, many of whom are undoubtedly facing the same issues as Demi while growing up. To that end, I don’t mind at least another few rounds of this discussion.

However, this interview with Fabulous Magazine is a bit different than Demi’s other recent discussions about her troubles. When she first entered rehab in 2010, the official line was that she entered for emotional and eating disorder issues, and that’s continued to be the official word during her most recent publicity outings as well. Now things are turning in a different direction with some confirmation of those old rumors that Demi used to do lines of coke like a pro. In this interview, Demi admits that she did cocaine and engaged in underage drinking as well:

She hates having her picture taken: “I felt uncomfortable today [at the shoot]. Knowing I have bad angles and the photographer can take a bad shot makes me insecure. But I’m a lot better than I used to be. In my first shoot after having treatment, I went into meltdown and ran away from the studio. So I’ve made progress.”

On her eating disorder: “I’d make myself sick up to six times a day. My mum was worried, but because I was going through puberty I was having growth spurts so she assumed that was why I was thinner.”

She admits to doing cocaine: “It’s something I don’t really want to talk about What I can say is that I was depressed. I would come off stage in front of 18,000 people and suddenly be alone in a hotel room. I’d come crashing down and would try to find a way to recreate that feeling, to stay ‘up’.”

Club promoters enabled her: “Promoters gave me drugs and alcohol in restaurants or clubs. They wanted me to come back so I would be seen there. They were basically kissing my ass,” she says, a flash of anger briefly interrupting her sunny demeanour. “I thought they were my friends. I thought I was having fun. Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says ‘no’. That’s why so many end up overdosing and dying. It could definitely have happened to me.”

On cutting: “It started with my wrists. People saw that, so I cut in places they couldn’t see. You do it because you feel so bad inside. You don’t know how to take it out other than on yourself.”

On rehab: “It was really, really hard and scary. I was homesick and lonely and several times I thought f*** it, I’m leaving. But my mum told me I would regret it. This was my only chance. I had 14 hours of therapy a day. I listened to music and learned to knit. When I finally left, it was like being let out of prison.”

On being a size 10-12 again: “After so long being thin, it was terrifying being heavier. But I am a naturally curvy Hispanic girl. I don’t deprive myself – I had a Kit Kat last night, but I don’t eat s*** every day. I have a meal service that brings my food to my home so I don’t have to think about being healthy.”

On her love life: “I’m not dating at all. I love having a boyfriend but need to be secure on my own first.”

[From Fabulous Mag]

So are these new admissions part of calculated new PR move? Maybe her team just realizes that Demi’s been saying the same stuff for about a year now and figures that since the coke rumors are out there, she might as well admit to them and change up the routine. Still, I find it interesting that she’s specifically calling out the club promoters and “yes” people that surround the rich and famous. It sounds like Demi really has figured out how to cut through the Hollywood crap in that regard, and I can also appreciate that she’s indulging in Kit Kats. Obviously, everyone deserves the occasional Kit Kat.

Giuliana and Bill Rancic announce they’re expecting a baby via gestational carrier

Posted: 23 Apr 2012 06:58 AM PDT

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Giuliana and Bill Rancic have been open about their fertility treatments and struggle to conceive, documenting Giuliana’s two rounds of IVF on their Style Network reality show, Giuliana and Bill. Things took a very serious turn for them last summer when Giuliana was diagnosed with breast cancer (she had lumps in both of her breasts) and ultimately had a double mastectomy and reconstruction following an initial unsuccessful lumpectomy.

Bill and Giuliana put their baby plans on hold temporarily following Giuliana’s cancer diagnosis, and they just announced that they’re expecting a baby via gestational carrier! They wouldn’t reveal the baby’s gender, and said he/she is due in late summer. Congratulations to them:

Giuliana, who co-hosts “Fashion Police” on E! and who shares a reality show with Bill (“Giuliana & Bill” on Style Network) explained that her baby’s carrier lives “out of state” and is married with two children. The couple wants to guard her privacy and not cause additional stress during her pregnancy, so they did not go into many more details about her, though they say they visit “every month” and appear to have a good relationship with her. Giuliana calls the carrier her “my baby mama.”

“This was our last stop,” said Bill. “This was it. We had those two embryos that we had banked prior to learning about the breast cancer, and with the medicine she was on (which meant Giuliana will have to wait years before trying to personally get pregnant), this was our last effort. The prayers were answered.”

Both smiling parents-to-be were upbeat, and talked about turning “negatives into positives.” And Giuliana seemed particularly grateful: “The more you focus on the positive, the more you are grateful for the good things in your life, the more good things come to you. I’ve really seen that. I have a great husband … and I have a baby on the way. What more can I ask for, really?”

[From The Today Show]

In terms of the difference between a “gestational carrier” and a “surrogate,” a gestational carrier is pregnant with the baby for the couple, which is biologically theirs. They used one of two embryos which was leftover from Bill and Giuliana’s IVF process, prior to her cancer diagnosis. Maybe I’m just PMSing today but this really got me choked up. I’m not even a big fan of theirs. Giuliana still bugs me, but you can tell they’re a solid couple with a lot of love to give a child. I’m actually excited to see their baby.

Taylor Swift reportedly up for the role of Joni Mitchell: good choice or bad casting?

Posted: 23 Apr 2012 06:15 AM PDT

Several years ago, Vanity Fair published excerpts from a book called Girls Like Us. You can read the VF excerpt here, and go here to read more about the book. The gist of the VF piece (and the book) was the intertwined careers, romances and trajectories of singers Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell and Carole King. I always remembered the VF article because it was so good, and because I learned a lot about whom those ladies romanced in their early days. I think Warren Beatty managed to sleep with all of them…? James Taylor managed at least two of them as well. Anyway, Hollywood has come callin' and now they're going to make the book into a movie. So who should play the young Carly? The young Carole? The young Joni? Variety claims that Taylor Swift is in talks to play Joni!

Taylor Swift is circling the role of Joni Mitchell in Sony Pictures and Di Bonaventura Pictures’ adaptation of Sheila Weller’s book “Girls Like Us,” which would mark the pop star’s first turn in a bigscreen drama.

Pic examines the careers of singers Mitchell, Carly Simon and Carole King. Swift does not have an official offer, but has been linked to the Mitchell role for several months as other actresses have auditioned to play Simon and King, including Alison Pill (“Midnight in Paris”) for the latter singer.

“House” exec producer Katie Jacobs, who optioned the book several years ago, is directing from a script by John Sayles. Lorenzo di Bonaventura (“Transformers”) is set to produce the Sony pic, which has not yet been greenlit, though it is tentatively skedded to start production later this year when the three leads’ schedules allow for filming.

Swift, who’s currently featured on “The Hunger Games” soundtrack, made her feature acting debut in ensemble rom-com “Valentine’s Day,” and recently voiced a role in Universal’s “The Lorax.” Before that, she appeared as herself in the 2009 Miley Cyrus vehicle “Hannah Montana: The Movie.”

[From Variety]

As far as looks and general vibes go, I kind of don't hate Swifty for Joni. I have qualms about whether Swifty can ACT, but on looks alone, I could see it. The wide mouth, the ethereal, folksy vibe. I'm just saying… don’t yell about it. Yet. It will be interesting to see who gets cast as young Carole King and young Carly Simon, because I can't even imagine who they would or could get. Wait… Emma Stone for Carly? Think about Emma in a really good Carly wig – couldn't you see it? And please – Jessica Biel WISHES. I actually think Biel looks a lot like a young Carly, but don't even offer her the role, producers. Carole King needs… young, pre-nose job Jennifer Grey. NO, I've got it! Mamie Gummer – Meryl Streep's daughter. She could totally play Carole King.

You know what the real problem with this project is, though? Hollywood is so homogenized these days. None of the girls today will ever LET themselves look so odd and unconventionally beautiful like Joni, or Carly or Carole.

Halle Berry gets new curly extensions: cute or crazy looking?

Posted: 23 Apr 2012 05:51 AM PDT

My first thought on seeing Halle Berry’s new curly wig/weave was that she must be wearing it for a role. I vaguely remembered that she had on a very frizzy, curly wig for a movie she was filming at some point, and assumed she might be doing reshoots. That was a film called Frankie & Alice, which premiered at the Cannes film festival and was only out in very limited release in late 2010, earning less than $11k at the box office. So I doubt this hair is for that specific long-over, almost forgotten, role. It could be for another film, but if so there’s not word yet. Halle has actually rocked two versions of this new hair in recent paparazzi photos, a longer two-tone look during the school pickup photo op on Friday, and a shorter darker style during a beach outing with “bonus dad” (my words, Halle probably just calls him Nahla’s dad), Oliver Martinez, and Nahla on Saturday. Here’s more on Halle’s new hair, thanks to E!, which reminds us she had this style before:

C’mon, we all know that whether Halle Berry’s hair is long, short, straight or curly, she looks darn good because she’s Halle Berry.

But we did enjoy seeing a somewhat fresh new look from the gorgeous actress, who sported some tight-curl extensions while picking up daughter Nahla from school.

What do we mean by somewhat?

Berry debuted the new ‘do last night after a dinner date with fiancé Olivier Martinez at Italian restaurant II Piccolino in West Hollywood, but that’s not what we’re referring to.

The 45-year-old actress actually worked a similar hairstyle back in 2008, but it was slightly different, with a little more poof and no two-tone coloring.

We loved it then and we love it now.

[From E! Online]

Which version of Halle’s hair is your favorite? I think she looks best with the mid-level curls, in the beach photos. Maybe I’m getting confused because the wind is blowing it back, and/or humidity is making her hair curl up tighter. She possibly has the same hair in both of those photosets, but I doubt it. I like her with the short spiky hair too, it really highlights her face. She’s looking a little Botoxy lately, so perhaps a softer longer style is a better choice. Her hair reminds me of Rihanna’s two-tone curly hair, the style she had during her raucous Hawaiian vacation. If all I saw in those photos of Halle picking up Nahla were her hair and outfit I would have assumed she was Rihanna. Check out this picture in particular:

This is one way to get attention after her big admission that she’s engaged. It’s not a bad strategy, actually. At least she didn’t dip dye it.

Pippa Middleton warned about getting a “bad reputation” following gun incident

Posted: 23 Apr 2012 04:16 AM PDT

Pippa Middleton fell to earth last week. After enjoying a befuddling and relentless favoritism in the British and American press, Pippa Middleton made the kind of wrong move that couldn't be explained away. Pippa traveled to Paris, where she was seen in the company of several skeevy and rich French dudes, she went to a costume party (in a really busted looking costume) and then she went joy-riding with several of the dudes, and one of them pulled a (fake?) gun. Pippa was photographed smirking and laughing as her friend pointed the (fake?) gun at a paparazzo. There were stories about Pippa possibly being arrested – although later reports indicate that nothing will happen to her legally.

So Pippa is no longer a hot commodity – she's still getting a lot of attention, but now that attention has turned overwhelmingly negative. Before her sister married Prince William, Pippa got some negative attention too – mostly for being the kind of pushy, upwardly-mobile social climber who would do anything and anyone to marry someone rich and titled. But pre-wedding, barely anyone outside of the UK had heard anything about Pippa. Now that she's internationally known, it's going to be interesting to see how she and her family try to combat the negative attention. And for those of you think the Middletons don't have their own press machine – who are you kidding?

So one of Pippa's French friends, Romain Rabillard, was sent out to publicly apologize and "re-imagine" the gun controversy. Romain issued a statement, saying: "Last Saturday I was in a car with Philippa Middleton, and we were being followed by paparazzi. The car was being driven by a friend of mine, whom Pippa had only met a few hours before. As a joke, my friend brandished a toy pistol in their direction. Obviously Philippa had no idea that he was going to do that and told him to stop immediately. She did not find it funny. I regret enormously that this incident happened, and especially that Pippa has been subject to the subsequent attention through no fault of her own. I have apologized to her for this.” Wait, what? "She did not find it funny." O RLY? Because Pippa was clearly photographed smiling and laughing at her toy-gun-waving companion.

Us Weekly claims that the Middleton family is very "embarrassed" about the whole incident, and Pippa's wild behavior has "put Kate in a very difficult position.” Meanwhile, the Mail is going so far as to claim that Pippa has been put on notice by her family:

Pippa Middleton has been warned about getting a 'bad reputation' after her hectic partying in Paris. Pippa, 27, rushed back to the Middleton home in Bucklebury, Berkshire, to seek advice from her mother Carole after being seen out with four different men in the French capital last weekend.

During one incident, her friend Romain Rabillard brandished what looked like a real gun at a photographer who was following them.

A family friend said: 'Pippa has been told to be careful of hanging out with too many male admirers as she could quickly get a bad reputation. But her family have stood by her.'

[From The Mail]

Pippa is 28 years old – why do the Middletons (and the press) consistently treat Pippa and Kate like they're dewy innocents, untouched by the world? I'm just saying – 30 years old is too old to have to fall back on the "Kate isn’t used to keeping this kind of crazy schedule of two events a week, she's working her fingers to the bone!" excuse. And 28 years old is too old to fall back on the "Pippa is worried about her reputation because some big mean guys were playing with a toy gun" argument. These are adult women who have been out in the big, bad adult world for a decade or longer. Stop coddling them. Stop infantilizing them. It’s offensive.

(Incidentally, Pippa already had a "bad reputation" before her sister's wedding, as I said. Her "bad reputation" was just whitewashed in a post-wedding haze of butt-lust. This is what Pippa has always been like, that's what I'm saying.)

Robert Pattinson gets dirty & surreal in the ‘Cosmopolis’ trailer: awesome?

Posted: 23 Apr 2012 04:14 AM PDT

The new trailer for David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis has been released, and it reveals a very exciting glimpse of what some might call a triumphant return to Cronenberg’s surrealistic roots of the 1980s and ’90s. This movie, of course, stars Robert Pattinson, is based upon the Don DeLillo novel of the same name, and has been accepted into competition for the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Honestly, this film looks to be the best damn thing that could possibly happen in Rob’s (almost) post-Twilight career. Sure, he did fine in Water for Elephants and Remember Me, but those films did very little to shift audience perception away from broody, vampire-with-a-conscience Edward Cullen. Pattinson’s hopes in proving his acting range seemed almost laughable with the Bel Ami trailer that features him gnawing upon his own fist in frenzied (hilarious) anger. With this Cronenberg project, however, things seem quite different, and Robert will be taken quite seriously as an actor if he succeeds in this role. Here’s the trailer, and we’ll regroup afterwards:

This movie looks compelling and trippy as hell, right? Rob stars as callous billionaire trader Eric Packer (who does not seem entirely unlike Patrick Bateman of American Psycho fame), who experiences quite the surreal day of sex, drugs, and violence while crossing Manhattan in his limousine. This film is pure Cronenberg madness (fraught with all sorts of symbolism), and Rob couldn’t be further from a sparkly vampire while brandishing a gun (at one point, into his own hand), losing control of his empire, and eventually realizing that someone means to kill him. His co-stars include Juliette Binoche (who looks sexy as hell here), and I’m so glad Paul Giamatti has a decent project like this in his near future (the better to wash away the taint of Tom Cruise in Rock of Ages). Samantha Morton is in this movie too! I love her so much.
