Rachel Weisz: “There’s nothing worse than somebody who complains”

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 08:55 AM PDT

I know this could be the least commented-on post of the day, but you guys are always telling me I should avoid covering Kim Kardashian at any cost, and I was faced with the decision: cover new photos of Kim K. or cover Rachel Weisz's two magazine covers and interviews. Don’t complain, is what I’m saying. Rachel has a supporting part in the new Jason Bourne movie, the one with Jeremy Renner taking over the Bourne franchise, The Bourne Legacy. Incidentally, there's a new trailer for The Bourne Legacy… here you go:

Part of me is disappointed that Rachel took the part of "the girl/damsel in distress" in a big action film – she's an Oscar winner, for God's sake. But the other part of me wants Jeremy Renner to rescue me. So… it's a toss up. I love the Bourne franchise, though, so I know I'll see this.

Anyway, some highlights from Rachel's interviews in C Magazine and Vogue UK:

She doesn't know how to cook: “It’s something I want to do. I’d love to be able to get in the kitchen and throw in spices, but I need to know some basics. I was just at the fishmonger down the road and there were these langoustines and he said you have to chop off the head and the claws and sauté them with garlic. He was French. He said he might give me a lesson?”

She hates complainers: “There’s nothing worse than somebody who complains."

She likes taking on a challenge she might not accomplish: ‘I want to always feel like it's a stretch and that I'm not quite sure I can pull it off… And I think that is truly the right reaction … I used to get really affected by my work, but when you have a kid, you have to come home and be there mentally.’

Separating reality from film: ‘When the director says “cut,” it's all make-believe, and strangely enough, that took me a little bit of time to work out,’ she said.

Living in New York City: ‘Everyone moans about the city changing and becoming gentrified, but I think the East Village still has a little edge and also has a community,’ she said.

On The Bourne Legacy: ‘Jason Bourne is in the periphery of the story, but it's about a new military program and I am thrown together with Jeremy Renner's character by circumstance, because, well, we need each other… The paranoia around the film is as paranoid as the film itself – I think they feed off each other. We had to literally run through the homes of these warm, kind people with all their washing on the line turned inside out because of the dust. We were literally on the run. We didn't stop and talk to them in the film, so it was kind of weird… The tone is very realistic. I'm not playing a superhero, I don't have superpowers. I don't even have a gun. That's really what I love about it, that as this type of film goes it's not implausible at all."

[Via The Mail & The Belfast Telegraph]

"It's not implausible at all…" The word she's looking for is "It's plausible." I mean, I make grammatical and syntax mistakes all the time, but for goodness sake. It's not implausible? IT'S PLAUSIBLE.

Also – I didn't know Rachel was still living in NYC after her split from Darren Aronofsky. I thought she have moved back to England to be with Daniel Craig forever and ever. Maybe they split their time between London and Manhattan.

Emma Stone in b&w Martin Grant at the MTV Movie Awards: unflattering or lovely?

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 08:52 AM PDT

Emma Stone

At last night’s MTV Movie Awards, Emma Stone won the inaugural Trailblazer Award, which I think is the equivalent of a “Face of the Future” declaration but in edgier MTV terms. She gave a tearful acceptance speech (which MTV hasn’t put online yet) after a glaringly unfunny tribute video featuring Jim Carrey, Anna Faris, and Mila Kunis failed to explain exactly how awesome Emma really is. Because you know, she is pretty damn awesome.

Emma’s dress was a bit fancy for MTV standards, but she pulled it off well. She wore a black-and-white Martin Grant dress (with matching Brian Atwood pumps) that paired an architectural (for lack of a better word) top and a surprisingly cute white bubble skirt. Who else could have pulled off that skirt without looking like she had a huge butt? Even as a blonde, Emma is the picture of poise and offbeat classic beauty. I love the slightly messy updo, which shows off her gorgeous face and the lone bit of color on her lips really pops.

Elizabeth Banks

Elizabeth Banks won the Golden Popcorn award for Best Transformation as Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games, and she clearly had a great time during her acceptance speech onstage with the Magic Mike guys — Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, and Joe “Big D*ck Richie” Manganiello. In an amusing move, Joe even picked up Elizabeth and carried her offstage.

Get More: MTV Shows

As for Elizabeth’s outfit, this black Elie Saab was daring in its side-revealing lace panels but also really fug and too severe for the occasion. The Croydon facelift-type bun didn’t help matters either, and Elizabeth’s makeup was too eye-liner heavy and otherwise meh. She usually does so well on the red carpet with a great fashion sense, but I wasn’t a fan of this look at all.

Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough wore a short, black Sally LaPointe dress on the red carpet, and at least she had the body for the dress even if I wasn’t wild about the look in general. Peplum rarely works, especially in such a kicky outfit such as this one. Perhaps because of its belly baring nature, this dress reminded me of Gwyneth Paltrow’s fug Pucci dress from last year’s Emmys. Julianne’s hair was even flat ironed in the trademark Goop manner as well. Does Julianne secretly want to be Goop? At least her understated makeup seemed appropriate for the occasion.

Beyonce is empty-handed, Jay-Z carries baby Blue Ivy for family photo-op in Paris

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 08:28 AM PDT

Here are some new photos of Beyonce, Jay-Z and baby Blue Ivy in Paris today. It's a rare occasion – Blue Ivy's daddy is holding her for a public outing. Usually Beyonce is the official baby-carrier, but not this time. Maybe Beyonce wanted to show off her pink outfit. Can we talk about Bey's outfit for a sec? I hate myself for liking it all together. Maybe I was just sick of seeing Bey do shades of BLUE or maybe hot pink is just her color, but she looks good here. The pants are an unflattering disaster (tapered leg AND pleats?!?), but all together… it's good. Beyonce looks super-fit too. She's just come off her wildly successful New Jersey concerts, where she had practiced, exercised and trained for, like, 12 hours a day… so of course she's fit.

As for Jay-Z and Blue… I do enjoy seeing photos of a fathers and daughters. I wish Beyonce and Jay didn't feel the need to always cover Blue's face. I mean, I know why they do it and I hate that the paparazzi got so close to the family. But still – we already know what Blue Ivy looks like (Indian!), and I want to see the baby. Notice too – Blue Ivy is barefoot! No little Louboutins, no little diamond-encrusted socks. Blue Ivy's feet can touch the Paris air.

The family Carter-Knowles was caught leaving their hotel, I think. Reports indicate that they're on their way to Belgium for the next concert stop for Jay and Kanye's Watch The Throne tour. They performed in Paris over the weekend – and Gwyneth Paltrow was in attendance, of course. Gwyneth even tweeted something about "N–gas in Paris" and everyone had a fit. Not to defend Goop too much, but it is the name of Jay and Kanye’s song.

New clips from ‘The Dark Knight Rises’: is Anne Hathaway the weakest link?

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 08:03 AM PDT

Last night at the MTV Movie Awards, Christian Bale, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Gary Oldman and Christopher Nolan introduced an exclusive clip for The Dark Knight Rises. From what I gather, a new trailer-commercial also debuted during the show too. We're lucky to get these videos because MTV is clinging to their exclusivity for whatever reason. Be forewarned: these videos may give you a nerdgasm.

I could watch Tom Hardy/Bane on the plane for hours. That part still looks so cool/amazing to me. As for Annie Hathaway as Catwoman… I feel like I'm the only person defending her at this point. Anne can ACT. Anne is a lot better than you think. I don't know if her Catwoman will be any good, or whether she'll be like January Jones in X-Men: First Class – the weakest link of an otherwise awesome movie. I have high hopes for her. And JGL better bring it.

Christina Ricci in watch-covered Christian Siriano: cute or tacky?

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 07:40 AM PDT

Christina Ricci
Christina Ricci’s dress last night at the MTV Movie Awards was one of a kind Christian Siriano, selected from his Fall collection and emblazoned with real working Timex watch faces. There are also buttons, crystals, and beads creeping up around the right side of bodice. Siriano told People Magazine that he enjoyed the challenge, and that “you want to make the dress look fashion-forward and interesting without being campy.” Some people are loving this dress, but the shiny silk taffeta fabric looks cheap to me and it seems chintzy. It’s just a simple cocktail dress with some junk sewn into it, and I do find it a little tacky. (Not in these photos so much as in close ups.) I understand if you disagree and like it though, it’s kind of cool in a way, but it’s not my taste.

Paris Hilton also went too far in a Marco Squared sequin gunmetal dress with tacky black and white beading at the hem and neckline. Look at her spiked purse, oversized matchy jewelery and giant diamond earrings. She always makes Nikki look good in comparison, although Nikki’s dress is also fug.

Brooke Hogan was ridiculous as we’ve come to expect from her. She wore this tiny Jovani bright silver number with a cutout at the stomach and mesh at the hemline and around the neck. It takes some real self delusion to step out of the house like this. Look at her giant earrings and her bellybutton stud peeking out of the dress. Trashy perfection!

The Vampire Diaries’ Kat Graham actually toned it down, for her, in Maria Lucia Hohan. Look at her working that leg. Jolie’s meme really caught on, didn’t it? This is some ugly Dynasty style dress, complete with shoulder pads. Just take a look at Go Fug Yourself’s archives for Kat and you’ll see what a vast improvement this is though.

Stacy Keibler’s little black dress in Las Vegas: beautiful or busted?

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 07:34 AM PDT

These are some new photos of Stacy Keibler at the "Simon G Jewelry Summer Soiree And Kickoff For Carnevale Nights at the Palazzo Las Vegas Hotel And Casino" over the weekend. Yes, Stacy is still around. And she's still doing paid gigs like a good girl. I have to admit – I think Stacy might have the best business sense of any of George Clooney's girls. What did Sarah Larson get? She got a few gigs as a "model" and she got to keep her clothes. Elisabetta Canalis got a (horrible) gig on Leverage and a Roberto Cavalli contract. Stacy got an agent, buzz about becoming a "judge" on some kind of reality show, plus lots and lots of smaller paid gigs and appearances. Plus magazine photo shoots and lots of clothes and an actual stylist. Stacy is really feathering her nest, isn't she?

In addition to this paid appearance in Las Vegas, Stacy has also gotten a charitable gig in association with John Frieda.

She was already blonde, but Stacy Keibler recently took her hair even lighter — all in the name of charity. The starlet (and George Clooney love) partnered with John Frieda and the brand's new Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray to raise money for HAIRraising, a fundraising initiative that supports the Boston Children's Hospital.

For every person who visits johnfrieda.com and watches a video of Keibler going blonder, the company will donate $2 to the organization. "Anything that I can ever to do help children, I'll do," Keibler tells PEOPLE. "This is an amazing cause."

Keibler, who naturally has light hair — "I don't even know what the color is anymore," she jokes — loves her new hue. "The spray is so easy to use and totally brightens your hair, so it's fun for summer," she says.

At the initiative’s launch event, Keibler, a natural blonde, tried envisioning what it would be like to work a different hair color.

“You know I never say never. I think it would be fun,” the 32-year-old stunner told Us Weekly in NYC Thursday. “I just, I wouldn’t even know what to do because I’ve always been blonde!”

To keep her hair healthy, the star uses hair masks ("I do them when I'm in the shower shaving") and keeps maintenance to a minimum. "I have kind of wavy hair, so I'm lucky," she says. "It straightens easy but can curl easily, too."

And though she likes to have fun with hairstyles, she's not so sure she'll be chopping or dyeing her locks anytime soon. "I've always been pretty consistent with my hair," she admits, "so I think it'd be fun to try something new — but someday."

Visit johnfrieda.com to watch Keibler's video and donate to the cause.

Honestly, I've always wanted to try one of those fancy sprays – in my youth, when I went to the beach, I would put Sun-In on my hair and my naturally dark, dark brown hair would get some auburn highlights. I would imagine something similar would happen with this, or is this only for blondes? Anyway, here's the video (if you watch it, John Freida donates $2):

Can I just say? I'm surprised that Stacy got a gig related to her hair, because I don't think her hair is all that.

PS… Yes, that's Audrina Patridge. I love that Stacy and Audrina are posing together. They are the same.

Was Jennifer Aniston drunk when she accepted her MTV ‘Dirtbag’ award?

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 06:28 AM PDT

I'm developing a conspiracy theory about Jennifer Aniston's appearance at the MTV Movie Awards last night. MTV hasn't released the video of Aniston's victory – for "Best Dirtbag" for her role in Horrible Bosses – at this point, and they've released most the videos clips so far. No one else – no other site, no You Tube – has video of Aniston's win. I actually saw Aniston's "victory speech". I have to say… she seemed wasted. She was slurring and muddling her words and she seemed kind of out of it. To be fair… maybe "wasted" isn't the right word. Perhaps "buzzed" or "half in the bag". She wasn't falling-down drunk or anything. But when she spoke, it was noticeable.

So… why hasn't MTV released the video? Conspiracy?!! Don't even say "they didn't release the video because no one cares." Every site is covering Aniston's Dirtbag win. Everyone cares. Did Team Aniston shut it down?

During her (slurred) acceptance speech, Aniston said: "I mean, do you know how long I have tried to have somebody let me unleash my onscreen dirtbag? And thank god this category just popped up…so I would like to say thank you to the television show Friends for letting me unleash the inner sweetheart. And here’s to [Horrible Bosses director] Seth Gordon for allowing me to be a dirtbag. Thanks, dirtbag.” Imma letchu dirtbag mmmm…

Oh, and Aniston wore this leather LBD from Valentino. It wasn't cut for her body – her boobs seemed really smashed down, and the stiffness of the leather gave her a phantom gut. Sorry we don't have more photos of it – she didn't pose on the red carpet at all, so there are only photos of her inside the venue. Why didn't she walk the carpet? Is she "too big" of a star? Or did Huvane (her date) shut it down?

UPDATE: Conspiracy over! MTV finally released the video. I swear, she’s… toasted.

PS… Remember when Aniston was toasted for the People's Choice?

Ryan Gosling & Eva Mendes were coupled-up at LAX over the weekend

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 04:25 AM PDT

Thank you for not letting me down on Friday and making that Ryan Gosling-Eva Mendes post one of the most commented-on of the day. Allegedly, Eva Mendes wants to have Gosling's baby and she's already gone off of The Pill. These are new photos of Ryan and Eva at LAX over the weekend, headed for a flight out of LA. They walked into LAX separately – sort of. But for the most part, standing in line and going through security checks, they were together. You can see more photos of them here.

What does their body language say to you? And what does this joint "candid" appearance say to you? What it says to me: the occasional photo op in NYC and Paris aside, these two still actively try to avoid being photographed together. But… while they aren't going to go out of their way to make it easy for the paparazzi, they're also not too perturbed when they are spotted out together. My theory is still that one of them (cough) wants to be seen as part of a couple while the other person (cough) doesn't want to famewhore their relationship. I don't know, though.

Should we also talk about Eva's fashion? As she gets pap'd more and more these days, I have to say… her casual style is lacking. She's not like Jennifer Garner, who seems to simply prioritize comfort and "mom clothes". I get the feeling that Eva really thinks the outfits she puts together are super-cute. And they're not. These green pants should be destroyed. These pants give her Phantom Fupa.

Gisele Bundchen wears loose clothing for family outing, pregnancy rumors persist

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 04:15 AM PDT

These are new photos Gisele Bundchen, Tom Brady and their son Ben in Boston last week. A few weeks ago, shortly after the Met Gala, rumors began circulating about the state of Gisele Bundchen's womb. Brazilian tabloids/gossips and fashion blogs began circulating completely unsubstantiated rumors that Gisele and Tom Brady were expecting their second child, and that Gisele is only a few months into the pregnancy but they're already telling friends and family.

So, can you see any hint of bump on Gisele? I can't. I guess if it's still really early for her (first trimester) than she wouldn't be showing. But would she be wearing skinny jeans (are those even jeans?)? Eh. Whatever is going on with her, she doesn't look any bigger to me. I guess I should mention that her shirt is loose… but maybe that's just comfort? Whatever. It wouldn't surprise me if she was knocked up again, and I think there's a good possibility that she is considering no one has come out and explicitly denied the rumors. What I do know: Tom and Gisele are really cute with Ben. And Ben has better hair than his dad.

You can see more photos here of Gisele out and about last week.

Mila Kunis in black Lanvin at the Guys Choice Awards: adorable or awful?

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 04:05 AM PDT

These are a few photos from Spike TV's "Guys Choice" Awards over the weekend. The award show doesn't actually air until next weekend – the 9th, to be exact. We don't have photos from the stage or anything, but there was a half-assed red carpet and some decent people showed up. Take Mila Kunis, seen here in a little black Lanvin dress. It seems like a pretty and boring LBD – almost like it wants to be a mullet dress but can't really commit to it.

We discussed Mila last week when we had new photos of her on the New York set of Blood Ties, with Clive Owen. I noticed (begrudgingly) that it seems like Mila has gained a little bit of weight. It looks fine on her, and maybe we (and everyone else) noticed it because Mila had lost so much weight when she was doing Black Swan, and she had a super-slim figure for a while. She's still what I would consider "slim" and "insanely beautiful". I'm not criticizing her, for the love of God. I'm merely pointing out something obvious – she's gained a little weight. And you can really see it on her face, right? I'm still considering the possibility that she's carrying an Ashton Kutcher douche-baby too.

Here's Kristen Bell and Daz Shepherd. Bell wore Jenny Packham. It's all kind of… eh. I don't think it's the right color for her, but whatever.

That Game of Thrones cutie Kit Harington was there. He plays John Snow. He's beautiful. I want.

And here's Malin Akerman (in Armani) and Julianne Hough (in Michael Kors). They're both in Rock of Ages. And both look kind of strung out.
