Jenna Fischer: Who cares if our boobs are hanging low and we have a little junk?

Posted: 03 May 2012 09:13 AM PDT

Jenna Fischer
I enjoyed seeing Jenna Fischer do the publicity rounds for her new movie, The Giant Mechanical Man, directed by her husband, Lee Kirk. (Jenna and Lee met thanks to this movie.) Jenna is funny, she’s genuinely grateful (she got two different mugs on The Today Show because she collects them, and I’ll be damned if she didn’t look thrilled each time) and she just seems like a very down-to-earth celebrity. The fact that she’s an average size person kind of adds to that. I know I shouldn’t judge people based on their size, but when women look more like me I somehow feel like I can relate to them more. It’s just how it is, and I’ll admit it’s probably prejudiced against super skinny women. (i.e. Hollywood.)

Well Jenna had her first child last September, and she said that she finds it outrageous how much pressure there is on women to lose the baby weight immediately afterwards. This isn’t a new sentiment for her – in January she said that she stood in “solidarity with all of the women who are not a size 2 six weeks after leaving the hospital,” and added “I think I'm just going to be a little bit bigger for a little bit longer, and that's fine with me.” It was nice to hear, and she expanded on that topic in a recent interview with Celebuzz.

Don't even get Jenna Fischer started on being a celebrity mom! The Office star has some very firm opinions on how Hollywood celebrates motherhood.

"I think it's unnatural," she told Celebuzz in an exclusive interview, referring to the intense pressure put upon celebrity moms to lose their baby weight.

"There's so much pressure on you as a new mom that the last thing you need to have hanging over your head is some expectation of what your body is supposed to look like. I actually think that the scrutiny of new mothers bodies has gotten out of control."

She continued: "Every new mother just gets a free pass. I'm actually angered by the 'posing in a bikini six weeks after having my baby' [trend] … Who cares if our boobs are hanging low and we have a little more junk in the trunk? We created a human being, everybody. Let's celebrate!"

[From Celebuzz]

It’s not just celebrity moms who pressure you to be fit after giving birth – it’s other moms. I remember going to La Leche League meetings and hearing moms with 3 month old babies bragging about how they got their bodies back, and how they worked out from home and did sit ups in their free time. I just sat there politely listening and thinking “bitch, please.” I know, I should get over it. I just didn’t focus on exercise the first few months because I was so preoccupied with my baby. I can’t imagine being a celebrity and having to deal with that pressure too. I didn’t even like getting my picture taken.

Who do you think Fischer is talking about, though? My vote is on Jessica Alba or Kate Hudson, but they each waited a few months.

Benedict Cumberbatch promotes ‘Sherlock’ in NYC: would you hit it?

Posted: 03 May 2012 08:31 AM PDT

We got a request for MORE Benedict Cumberbatch coverage, so here you go. These are new photos of Cumby at a NYC screening of the first episode of Sherlock's second season. Did you watch the first season of Sherlock? It was pretty good. No, make that "damn good." Cumby gets a lot of good press for his portrayal of a modern Sherlock Holmes, but we should also give Martin Freeman a lot of credit too – his Dr. Watson is a wonderful companion/straight-man/friend to Sherlock. Anyway, the second season of Sherlock begins on PBS this Sunday! Are you excited? I am! It's already aired in the UK, of course – I think they got to see it last summer or fall.

If you're not on the Cumberbitch Bandwagon yet, let me just say… I enjoy photos of the Cumberbatch, but he's much better in motion. He's an odd-looking man, for sure. But he also has a very rich, educated, posh vibe about him – he's intellectual and well-spoken, and to borrow a phrase from F. Scott Fitzergerald, his voice sounds like money. And in case you're not into the Sherlock Holmes thing and your deal is decidedly nerdier, Cumberbatch was cast in the new Star Trek sequel. It was just confirmed this week that he's playing KHAN!

Here's Cumby's appearance on VH1's Big Morning Buzz. I enjoy the way this woman is fan-girling all over him. Also love Cumby's reaction to his Cumberbitches!

Ashton Kutcher’s PopChips ad pulled after “brown-face” backlash: is the ad racist?

Posted: 03 May 2012 08:02 AM PDT

CB asked me yesterday whether or not we should cover Ashton Kutcher's new commercial for "Popchips". I vetoed the idea without even watching the commercial, just because my default position is "Ashton is a d-bag who doesn't deserve attention." Unfortunately, this PopChips ad is now a "thing." A bad thing. In the ad, Ashton appears in various costumes, doing various bad accents, pretending it's a dating commercial or something. One of the "costumes" involves Ashton wearing "brown-face" and doing a bad Indian accent and pretending he's a horny Bollywood producer. Here's the ad:

Yeah, he also does the "fey" thing when he's in the Karl Lagerfeld get-up. So he possibly offended the gays as well as the Indians. As well as anyone of even moderate intelligence. Anyway, this ad just got pulled and now Ashton and PopChips are facing a lot of criticism:

Ashton Kutcher's new Popchips commercials were meant to be funny and lighthearted, but one has been swiftly pulled – and an apology issued – following a grim reaction from Indian Americans.

The ad in which Ashton plays “Raj,” a Bollywood producer – complete with brownface makeup and a heavy Indian accent – has been removed from the Popchips website and other online channels amid an outcry that it is racist, reports The New York Times.

The most blistering critique came from Anil Dash, the tech entrepreneur. “I can’t imagine I have to explain this to anyone in 2012, but if you find yourself putting brown makeup on a white person in 2012 so they can do a bad ‘funny’ accent in order to sell potato chips, you are on the wrong course,” he wrote on his website.

The Two and a Half Men actor, 34, has yet to respond to the controversy. But Keith Belling, founder and CEO of Popchips, posted the following message on the company’s website: “We received a lot feedback about the dating campaign parody we launched today and appreciate everyone who took the time to share their point of view. Our team worked hard to create a light-hearted parody featuring a variety of characters that was meant to provide a few laughs. We did not intend to offend anyone. I take full responsibility and apologize to anyone we offended.”

Added a company rep: “The new Popchips worldwide dating parody featuring four characters was created to provoke a few laughs and was never intended to stereotype or offend anyone. At Popchips we embrace all types of shapes, flavors and colors, and appreciate all snackers, no matter their race or ethnicity. We hope people can enjoy this in the spirit it was intended.”

The ad series spoofs dating videos. In other executions, Kutcher plays a diva, a hippie and a biker. Kutcher was named “president of pop culture” for Popchips in 2010, and worked on the commercials with the ad agency Zambezi in Los Angeles.

[From People]

Throughout the past… decade or so, I've become kind of jaded about this kind of "racism". While I completely see the critics' points about "brown-face" and the racism of the stereotype, I'm mostly offended by the stupidity. That's what bugs me: this is just stupid. This is an awful idea, and I can't believe someone thought, "Hey, what a great idea! This will be a perfect way to promote chips! Let's hire Ashton Kutcher and get him do an Indian minstrel show!" How f–king dumb are they?

Jennifer Lopez promoted Casper Smart to “lead choreographer” says Casper

Posted: 03 May 2012 07:26 AM PDT

The photos of Jennifer Lopez in red are new – she was arriving for filming of American Idol. I actually loved the dress until I realized that it wasn't just a sexy little red thing – there's weird, cheap-looking white netting on the bust, up to the neck. That's horrible. So… I no longer care for the dress.

In other J.Lo news, you know how she's going on a summer tour? She (and her glitter snake) announced it a few days ago, and at the time, I totally predicted that her boyfriend Casper Smart would be named "the lead back-up dancer" for the tour and that Jennifer and Casper would dance on stage together every night. Well, I was wrong. But not by much.

Jennifer Lopez has promoted her boyfriend/backup dancer Beau "Casper" Smart. Lopez announced Monday at LA's Boulevard3 details of her tour with Enrique Iglesias, and said she'd work with choreographers including Smart and veteran tour master Jamie King. Smart was then seen outside near the Atlantico Rum bar telling reporters he was the "lead choreographer" and "in charge of all choreography." Lopez's rep told us there are four choreographers including Smart.

[From Page Six]

LMAO at "Lopez's rep told us there are four choreographers including Smart." I'm getting the feeling that the people around Jennifer are really tired of her antics. Like, I imagine her rep sighed and said, "No. Casper can say whatever he wants but Jennifer actually hired professional choreographers for her tour, she didn't just promote the facially-challenged boy-toy to be the lead choreographer for her tour. Give me a break. She just asks us to get jobs for these little boys, but I give up." But you've got to wonder what Jennifer tells Casper when they're alone.

Meanwhile, Jennifer confirmed that she's bringing her (other) kids on tour with her too.

School may still be in session, but the summer is looking particularly bright for Max David and Emme Maribel; Mom Jennifer Lopez is gearing up for her tour — and she's bringing the twins along for the ride!

"I don't know how that's all going to work. This is my first time. I'm going to see," the songstress, 42, told reporters during her Mega 2012 Tour press conference in Los Angeles on Monday.

"They'll get on the bus with me and it'll be a learning experience for both of us."
And while Lopez's little groupies may love life on the road, she explains it's off to grandmother's house the 4-year-olds will go if they need a breather.

"Luckily, there's always Grandma's house if they get really tired and stir-crazy," the American Idol judge shares. "They can go with their grandma for a few days and then come back."

Admitting she plans to "feel that out as I go," Lopez's love for her children leaves one thing clear: "I can't be away from them for too long, so they'll be with me most of the time," she adds.

[From People]

Maybe Jennifer will end up promoting Casper to "lead babysitter" and put him "in charge of all of the babysitting." RIGHT? God, Jennifer is such a mess. Not really, though – her career is probably in the best place it's been in years. I'm just distracted by her messy love life and her insistence on making this Casper Smart thing happen. I find him more offensive than one of George Clooney's girls.

Carrie Underwood: “We’re the most normal couple in the world! I do laundry, clean.”

Posted: 03 May 2012 07:26 AM PDT

Carrie Underwood
Carrie Underwood has a new interview in US Weekly to promote her album and upcoming tour. Carrie, 29, has been open in the past about how she’s not ready to have kids with her husband of a year and a half, hockey player Mike Fisher. She’s also used almost this exact same PR stance before – she’s just like us. It may be true and I don’t doubt that she does things around the house and likes to watch TV like everyone else. She had an US Weekly cover and accompanying interview last year around this time that was very similar to this one. At that point she was trying to present a softer image after some stories came out that she was bitchy and difficult. I think it worked in that we haven’t heard any negative stories about her in a while. In this one it sounds like she’s trying too hard to convince us that everything is fine in her marriage. Maybe it is, but it just gets my spidey sense tingling. Here’s some of what she told US, with more in their print edition with Guiliana and Bill on the cover. (Do you think Carrie was hoping for another cover with this interview? Of course she was.)

You kissed a lot of frogs before Mike, huh?
I’ve had my share of loves gone wrong. But I couldn’t ask for a better husband and best friend. I’m finally happy in love, so there’s a reason some things don’t work out. At the time, it seems like the world is ending, but then something great comes out of it and you realize everyone ended up exactly where they belong.

What’s your big secret to a happy marriage?
We don’t bring our work home with us very often. Because we’re so busy, we make our time together count, like by going on date nights. And while we love being together, we also realize time apart is important, so we try not to crowd each other. I love a good girls’ night out just like he loves hanging out with his friends.

Describe a typical weekend? Do you even have one?
We’re the most normal couple in the world! What I enjoy most is a quiet day at home with Mike and our doggies. We watch a lot of TV – I’ve seen every episode of American Idol this season, and we love Modern Family and The Walking Dead. And I do laundry, buy groceries and clean the house. I also make tofu-salad sandwiches and healthy versions of comfort food, like pizza and quesadillas.

Sweet! It must be tough to go out on the road.
I’m actually excited to tour again this fall, and Mike always comes to every show he can. It’ll be hard to be away from him for so long, but he is so understanding and supportive – just like I am with him during hockey season.

Any plans for kids?
We’re not looking to have children any time too soon. Both of our lives are so crazy. Something would have to change drastically in our schedules before we can entertain the idea. But for now, married life is wonderful.

[From US Weekly, print edition, May 14, 2012]

Does it sound to anyone else like she’s laying it on thick? The “most normal couple in the world” and “married life is wonderful” stuff is what got me. If she really feels that way, then good for her I guess. It just sounds like she’s overcompensating.

Here are some photos of Carrie performing on GMA Tuesday, and in LAX yesterday. That pant suit is just ridiculous. I saw those photos on Lainey Gossip yesterday. Lainey also linked to this story on ESPN with Carrie being interviewed about her husband’s hockey career. They asked her for three things she loves about playoff hockey and she said “winning, winning and Mike winning.” She’s hardcore. The photo of Carrie with Mike is from January, 2010.

Brandi Glanville won’t get ‘RHOBH’ promotion because Eddie won’t let the kids go on

Posted: 03 May 2012 06:20 AM PDT

Over the weekend, I discussed the Radar report that Bravo and Brandi Glanville were discussing a possible advancement for Brandi on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. RHOBH has had a cast shake-up, and Brandi got the show some added attention, and it made sense to me that producers probably wanted to promote Brandi to a full-time cast member. Well, now it looks like that won't be happening. Radar reports that LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian refuse to allow Mason and Jake Cibrian to be featured in the show whatsoever, and now producers – who want to feature storylines with Brandi being a mom – don't want to promote her.

Easy come, easy go! Brandi Glanville was all set to become a fully fledged Beverly Hills Housewife, but her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian and his new wife LeAnn Rimes managed to scrub her plans!

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Brandi was to graduate from 'friend' to a full-fledged 'Housewife on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned Bravo yanked the offer after Brandi was forced to tell the network that her kids couldn’t appear on camera.

"Bravo wanted her to have her kids on the show in order to expand story lines," a source tells Radar. "But Leann and Eddie wouldn’t allow it."

Eddie and LeAnn started an affair while married to their respective spouses, filed for divorce and married each other shortly after and LeAnn has often spoken about her love for Brandi's two sons, Jake and Mason. However, despite the multiple photo-ops where the exes are seen smiling at the children's events together, everything isn't so rosy beneath the surface.

"Brandi didn't expect that LeAnn and Eddie would have objections since the kids have been on the show before, but they did," the source says. "Eddie said they did not want the children on camera on a regular basis. So Bravo said that Brandi would have to stay 'friend’ and not become an official 'housewife.'”

Brandi will be on season three of the hit reality show along with Taylor Armstrong, Lisa Vanderpump, Adrienne Maloof, Kim and Kyle Richards and the newest 'Housewife' Yolanda Hadid, music mogul David Foster's ultra-rich wife.

[From Radar]

On one side, I don't like the idea of these or any children appearing on this or any reality show. On the other side, if Eddie and LeAnn are really the ones behind this, they're SO FULL OF IT. Eddie and LeAnn are basically forcing the kids to perform in a reality show already: THE LEANN SHOW. Where everything is all about LeAnn and she can tweet about her "bonus boys" and photograph them and post those photos on Twitter. Not to mention all of the times LeAnn calls the paparazzi and has them take photos of her and her stepsons together. Just last week, LeAnn was outed by a photo agency because she had given the photographer THE WRONG TIME for her stepson's soccer game. Magically, the photographer was there at the wrong time to take photos of LeAnn being a doting stepmother. So, really, what's the difference between what LeAnn is doing and what Brandi wants to do on RHOBH? Besides the fact that Brandi is the actual mother to those boys. Brandi should come back with an all-or-nothing proposition: either she gets to use the kids on RHOBH AND LeAnn gets to use the kids in "The LeAnn Show" or the boys just get left alone, and no one gets to "use" the boys for PR purposes.

Here are some of those photos of LeAnn being the best step-mother ever (except for not getting her stepson's soccer game time right).

Scarlett Johansson in Preen for her Walk of Fame ceremony: adorable, right?

Posted: 03 May 2012 05:18 AM PDT

These are, no joke, some of the cutest photos I've ever seen of Scarlett Johansson. She's not a woman I often associate with "cuteness" – she's not trying to be America's Sweetheart and she's not trying to assault us with a pity party. Scarlett's default position is "sexy," the bombshell in the room, and the flirt. She's not "cute". Until these photos! Scarlett got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame – I'm sure the studio paid for it as a way to promote The Avengers, but Scarlett looked genuinely pleased with the honor and throughout all of the photos, she's just making some of the most adorable little happy-faces ever. Her dress is Preen, by the way. I'm not in love with it, but it's completely appropriate for the event and it definitely adds to Scarlett's new-found "cuteness". I like that the entire look is kind of retro but it doesn't feel "old". This is my favorite photo:

Great photo! Great positioning. Sexy, bombshell, old-school pin-up pose, yet still kind of wholesome and cute. As for who came out to celebrate Scarlett – she brought her grandmother for the event, as well as some other members of her family – the brunette woman is her mother, and the kid is Scarlett’s sister Fenan.

Scarlett brought her boyfriend, Nate Naylor too. This guy just looks like such a douchenozzle.

But my favorite person at the event was definitely Scarlett's Avengers costar and personal friend, Jeremy Renner. They're both so small! I often forget that both Scarlett and Jeremy are such tiny little people. They look kind of perfect together, right? I think I would cosign this hookup/relationship. I just got a sexy shiver thinking about the two of them possibly going at it. See? Hot, right?

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West are already looking at engagement rings, obviously

Posted: 03 May 2012 04:47 AM PDT

Here are some photos of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian from this past weekend that we simply never got around to talking about. I think this was Friday night in NYC. Kim and Kanye got pap'd (ha) coming out of a car, and Kanye's pants were sliding off and I guess we were supposed to think that he and Kim were doing something dirty in the backseat. Which… I mean, I'll go for some backseat bonin' and all (I grew up in the South, y'all, most of my formative sexual experiences were in the backseats of cars), but I simply don't buy that Kim and Kanye were doing anything that dirty. Kim's leather pants look poured on – she probably needed the Jaws of Life to get her out of those things. My verdict: the most that happened in the backseat was a handy.

In other Kimye (eye-roll) news… well, there's a lot. Bullet points? Sure!

*Hollywood Life says Kim is worried that Kanye is too controlling. A source tells HL, "Kanye is always asking her where she is and who she's with. He's always looking over her shoulder while she's texting and asking her who she's talking to. He's being super controlling and she liked it at first but now she feels suffocated." Er… that's what happens when a dude knows you're the kind of girl who will marry a dude you don't love to further your famewhore, money-grabbing ways, all while cheating on your fiancé/husband! That was a complicated way of saying that Kanye knows Kim is a cheater – she already cheated on Kris Humphries WITH Kanye.

*Us Weekly claims that Kim and Kanye are "very serious" very quickly and that they're ready to "pick out rings." Just call her Jennifer Love Kardashian. A source tells Us Weekly, "they're already talking marriage." And Kim "wants to be with him as much as possible… They really know and love each other.” Thus, she's coming on tour with 'Ye and Jay-Z this summer. Because why not? Soon the Beyonce-Kim cage-fight will be upon us!

*In Touch Weekly has a weird story about Kim “falling for Kanye’s lies” because Kanye is "a player who’s been publicly accused of cheating” and a source says “he may be spoiling Kim and treating her like a princess, but he hasn’t changed. It’s all a lie!” Yeah, but when he was accused of cheating, wasn’t it by Amber Rose? And didn’t she claim he was cheating on her WITH Kim? Whatevs.

*OK Magazine put Kim on the cover and the story is completely weird and random and obviously false. They say Kim wants to adopt a baby from Armenia. At some point. And she wants a biological baby too, at some point. Blah.

Miley Cyrus adopts Rottweiler-beagle puppy that was abandoned at a Walmart

Posted: 03 May 2012 04:38 AM PDT

A few days ago, I was looking at some new photos of Miley Cyrus, and I found myself sick with… envy. Miley's life is looking pretty sweet right about now, right? She worked throughout her childhood and she's sitting on millions of dollars. She doesn't have to work at all. She's young, she owns her own home, and she lives with her cute Aussie boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth. She spends her days having sex with her hunky boyfriend, getting her hair done, going to endless Pilates classes, smoking weed, and hanging out with her dogs. I'm just saying… that's a pretty sweet life when you're 19 years old.

So, Miley (and Liam) are already dog-parents to three puppies – Lila, Floyd and Ziggy. Since Miley really didn't have anything else to do, she just adopted another rescue puppy. She and Liam have named the little Rottweiler-beagle mix "Happy". Miley explained on Twitter, "He was left in a box in front of Walmart. I don’t understand how people can be so cruel. That’s why we named him Happy.” Liam was also spotted on Tuesday picking up stuff for the new puppy at the pet store – you can see the photos here. Isn't that cute? Miley keeps adopting puppies and Liam is totally enabling her. He's all, "Fine, I'll go get some more pee pads, babe." They're like the young version of Brangelina, only they're adopting puppies not international babies.

Miley tweets lots of cute photos of Happy too! The little white dog is named Joey, and Miley says Joey is "Happy's new girlfriend." Happy looks like he's going to be a handful, doesn't he? My puppy can do those big, soulful eyes too. Right before he turns into a maniac dog.

Stacy Keibler covers Men’s Fitness: “I’m not really attracted to a big, jacked guy”

Posted: 03 May 2012 04:26 AM PDT

Stacy Keibler covers the June issue of Men's Fitness. If that isn't the weirdest thing, right? CB points out that for as long we've been e-subscribing to Men's Fitness, since October, 2010, they've never had a female cover star. As for said cover… the image looks ridiculous. Like, Stacy has a GREAT body. Her body is insane. Her body is so good, I don't think most people look at her face. But I'm trying to look at her face, and I can barely see it under the mound of Photoshop and hair. I really think they took her head from another photo and just superimposed it on the best "body shot." Also: CB pointed out that Stacy looks so much like Kelly Preston on the cover. RIGHT? Remember, one of George Clooney's original girlfriends, back in the 1980s, was Kelly Preston. Weird.

As for the cover article, the piece is called "The Coolest Hot Girl," so you know it's going to a bastion of journalistic integrity. To her credit, much is made about how unfussy Stacy is – she doesn't travel with an entourage, she sits patiently while people mess around with her hair and makeup, she doesn't complain, ever. Here are some highlights from the piece:

Becoming a Baltimore Raven cheerleader: "People came form all over the country for tryouts, and I just made the age requirements. I ended up being the baby of the NFL."

Entering (and winning) a regional competition for the Nitro Girls (dancers for the World Championship Wrestling): "When I won, they said, 'You start next week,' but I was like, 'Uh, I have all these things I'm doing.' I was a cheerleader and in school, but everyone worked with me while I was making that transition, so I just decided to go for it."

Learning about football: "For the first season, I was trying to figure out what the heck was going on, but I loved it so much that I spent time learning the game and asking questions. From the first season to the next one, I learned so much that in my second year, I didn't even want to turn around and dance because I had a front-row seat to every game."

Her current fitness regimen: "I don't do it for my ego. And as far as how I look to everyone else? I just like to be toned, I like to be fit, and I like to feel good. I don't want to look all jacked up. I just want to be healthy."

What Stacy likes in a man: "I'm not really attracted to a big, jacked guy. I think that's a little excessive. I'm attracted to moderation. Someone who just takes care of himself from the inside out."

How can you win her heart? "A simple compliment goes a really long way – for a guy to just come over and say, 'You have great hair' or 'I really like your dress,' and then just smile and walk away. That's a great move, because he's sort of putting himself out there by doing that, but it won't lead to any embarrassment if the girl isn't interested. And if she is, she can go find him, because it'll be like, 'Wow, that was pretty cool.'"

[From Men's Fitness, print edition]

Is anyone else surprised that she didn't mention George Clooney whatsoever? I don't know if the interviewer asked about Clooney and got denied, or if Stacy was allowed to demand "no Clooney questions" for this piece. Reading through the whole cover story, I did get the sinking feeling that perhaps Stacy is feathering her nest for a breakup that's coming soon. Like, she probably gave this interview a month ago – after the Oscars, but around the time when Clooney went to DC (and he got arrested) and she was left to her own devices. And then this past weekend she was left behind again after she "got a job" that she apparently had to do on a Saturday night? Yeah… I do think this relationship is winding down. And I think Stacy is trying to be smart about it and prepare for her next chapter.
