Katy Perry in a flapper dress at the MOCA event: ridiculous or lovely?

Posted: 13 Jun 2012 08:51 AM PDT

Katy Perry

Katy Perry attempted to go for the Twenties flapper vibe at last night’s City of Hope event at MOCA last night. I’ll say something nice — at least she’s (temporarily?) dumped the faux-goth look here. However, Katy looks to be wearing a satin, rose-colored nightie even though this was a full-length gown that probably cost thousands of dollars (not that she had to pay for it). I’m also assuming that she’s wearing a wig as well, but perhaps she could have removed the purple from her hair and taken out her hair extensions. It’s probably just a wig. Up close, her makeup is quite dramatic but Katy usually overdoes it in that department anyway, so that’s nothing new. I think that overall, Katy was going for glamour and “old Hollywood,” but instead she achieves “ill-fitting dress with boob spillage.” Those spaghetti straps must be made of steel to hold that rack up without any sort of aid in the brassiere department.

Katy Perry

Meanwhile, here’s a bit of Katy-associated news from Russell Brand, who has appeared on a UK talk show with some uncharacteristically insensitive words about his failed marriage:

Russell Brand may have lost a sexy-superstar wife when he divorced Katy Perry but according to the star that most difficult part of the break-up was “the admin.”

Speaking on Lorraine about the couple’s split after just 14 months last December the Rock Of Ages star said: “I suppose a divorce is difficult isn’t it, because of the admin! There’s a lot of admin.”

He went on to claim that he didn’t see his marriage as a failure because it was “really good” while they were together. “It did work out in a way because you are married for some time, and that’s really good, and then you’re not married, and that’s really good,” he explained. “You just have to have acceptance of things. She is a person that I love, but now this is a new time.”

When Lorraine added that she thought they were well suited, the 36 year-old admitted that while they did love each other he was looking forward to the future. “Well we were for that amount of time, and now this is a new time.” he added.

It wasn’t as easy for Katy though, who recently admitted that she had found the heartbreaking split “tough.”

Russell went on to reveal that yoga was helping him to move on with his life: “I don’t want to sound like a lunatic, but if you meditate and do yoga you become attuned to that there is different energy that’s constant and very, very beautiful. Some people would call it God, some people would call it karma or the cosmos, me – I call it sexual charisma.”

[From Entertainmentwise]

A lot of you might think Russell sounds rude during this interview while talking about the paperwork being the biggest hassle of the divorce, but at least he’s not the one who walked in and signed with a happy face. So bottom line is that they’ve both been douches to each other, but I still think Katy is slightly douchier for being so flippant about legal proceedings.

Anyway, back to this disaster of a dress, which does nothing for Katy’s (admittedly pretty great) figure. Although this “flapper in front of a trailer” shot is a nice touch, don’t you think?

Princess Charlene’s “Escape Face” is getting more depressing, right?

Posted: 13 Jun 2012 08:40 AM PDT

Every time I see new photos of Princess Charlene, I get a stronger Princess Diana vibe. Especially now that Charlene has short, Diana-esque hair, and especially now that Charlene is telegraphing her depression during royal photo-ops with children. It really is Diana-esque.

Anyway, these are some new photos of Charlene and Prince Albert at two events – one is the now annual Monaco event, Monacology, which Albert started to highlight science and technology in Monaco – Charlene looked super-depressed at that event. The second was The Monaco Ambassadors Club honoring Roger Moore. Charlene looked a bit perkier for that one, but that was probably because she got to hang out with Roger Moore, because who doesn't want to hang out with James Bond? Roger is old as dirt, and Charlene was acting extra friendly to him – good girl. Maybe Roger Moore will help her escape.

Anyway, there's a complete dearth of Monaco royal news these days. No one is sniping about Charlene being an "embarrassment" and no one is even talking about the state of her womb. Is the royal-watcher community just flat-out ignoring Charlene at this point? Poor Charlene. She can't even get people interested in her "ESCAPE?" face.

Is Brad Pitt’s film ‘World War Z’ going to be a $170 million disaster?

Posted: 13 Jun 2012 08:09 AM PDT

These photos just popped up at Fame/Flynet, and I became enchanted by them immediately. According to the photo agency, "Actor Brad Pitt visits a Honda Goldwing specialist motorcycle shop in London, England on June 13, 2012. The Hollywood actor posed with staff of HGB Motorcycles in Ruislip during the brief visit." Is it just me or does Brad look really sexy here? It's the hair – it looks sort of blown-out, but it's not girlishly fluffy. It's an interesting length on a man approaching 50 years old, but Brad really makes it work. All I really needed was one of these photos, the idea of "motorcycle shopping" and I had already formed a little sexual fantasy involving Brad, Michael Fassbender and a motorcycle ride in the English countryside. Mmmm… English country threesome. Nice.

Brad is keeping the long hair for a little while longer, at least. You know why? Because he has to go back and film even more scenes for World War Z. WWZ filmed for months and months last year, all over Europe. It was the neverending film shoot. And now the ending has been rewritten and Brad has to go back to work AGAIN and do reshoots – although the time estimate on the "reshoots" is five to seven weeks, which is more like half a film production. And even then, it might be a disaster:

Forget sometime scary-skinny near-missus ANGELINA JOLIE, BRAD PITT has some real ZOMBIE problems! AS The ENQUIRER reported previously Brad had been producing a zombie thriller "World War Z" which seemed destined for a big money making franchise. But now, sources say, not only is the film A STINKER with its release date pushed back to 2013 but the tawny Brad may be to blame.

"Can we take this genre movie and use it as a Trojan horse for sociopolitical problems, and what would the effect on the world be if everything we knew was upside-down and pulled out from under us?" Brad told The Hollywood Reporter last January, as he seemingly had classic disaster flick "The Poseidon Adventure" on his mind – but substituting flesh eating denizens of the brain snarfing undead for Shelley Winters.

But a source now told THR that Brad's film is now "a nightmare from top to bottom".

The troubled production dragged on for months as a novice SFX director battled with the cinematographer and the logistics of shooting all over economically ravaged Europe took its toll. Meanwhile Brad and his producing partner were busy prepping a small indie film that preemed at Cannes, "Killing Them Softly".

By the time they were ready to re-focus their attentions on the zombie flick "the disaster was already well in the making," the production insider divulged.

Yet a Paramount exec said "The footage from this film looks fantastic, but we all agreed it can have a better ending. Getting the ending correct is essential, and we are in that creative process."

But Brad is positive his zombie apocalypse gore fest will garner kudos, "I know my boys are going to like it."

[Via The National Enquirer]

You know who did the script rewrite? Damon Lindelof. The man who screwed up Lost and bungled the Alien reboot, Prometheus. So… expect a three-hour opus in which Brad Pitt wanders around talking about faith versus science, basically. Beyond that, Indie Wire reports that director Marc Forster was unprepared to helm such a massive, big-budget film, and the whole disaster is already costing the studio more than $170 million reportedly. Let's hope Brad The Producer can begin to rein in some of this BS.

Matthew McConaughey & Camila’s wedding covers People Mag: sweet or awful?

Posted: 13 Jun 2012 07:36 AM PDT

As predicted, People Magazine has the exclusive photos from Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves's weekend wedding. First thoughts, in no particular order:

1. OMG Matthew's hairline is even worse in profile.
2. Camila's dress is pretty, although it seems kind of fussy for a down-home Texas wedding.
3. Camila is taking style tips from Cleopatra Keys, right? And Kim Kardashian! Why is forehead jewelry – for your WEDDING, no less – such a "thing" these days?
4. Why is Matthew pointing at Camila's chin? It looks like he's about pick something out of her teeth.

Anyway, it's cute. Matthew reported wore a D&G tux (he's the face of D&G's cologne), and I like Camila's wedding dress more than that Chanel monstrosity that Drew Barrymore wore. Apparently, Camila's dress was handmade by her "favorite Brazilian designer". Here's more from People Magazine:

How’s this for wedded bliss? Matthew McConaughey and his bride Camila Alves are the portrait of happiness in photos from their June 9 at-home wedding in Austin, Texas.

“We decided to embrace the ritual of marriage as an opportunity and adventure we’ll take together,” McConaughey, 42, tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story, which features exclusive photos and details from the couple’s big day.

The pair welcomed around 120 guests – including Reese Witherspoon, Kenny Chesney and Woody Harrelson – for a three-day extravaganza of summer fun surrounding the nuptials.

The ceremony was especially meaningful for the pair’s children, Levi, who turns 4 in July, and Vida, 2½, who served as ring bearer and flower girl at the Catholic ceremony.

Says Camila, 29: “Somehow they both seem to understand what we are doing on a spiritual level.”

For Matthew and Camila’s exclusive wedding album – from the bride’s hand-stitched (and blessed!) dress to the couple’s dance floor moves – pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

[From People]

Oh, it was a Catholic ceremony? I would imagine that's all Camila – or was Matthew raised in the church too? No idea. Anyway, it's all very nice. I would have chosen a full-frontal view for the cover, but maybe that's because I'm still recovering from Matthew's hairline and dinosaur arm looking like he's about to jab Camila in the face.

Exclusive: Serial mistress Karen Marley writes a follow-up just for Celebitchy

Posted: 13 Jun 2012 06:07 AM PDT


Our most commented story on Monday was an essay by a 45 year-old British woman named Karen Marley. Karen claims to be a serial mistress, and she went on at length about how she preferred to date married men for various reasons. In Karen’s world, her friendships with these men are harmless and she takes the position that what the wives don’t know hurt them. She thinks that in many cases she helps spice up marriages. I of course disagree. Karen’s essay read like Samantha Brick’s recent treatise on her (questionable) beauty, and some thought it might be a put-on meant to publicize a cheaters website in the UK, which was mentioned throughout. Given my dealings with her, I believe she’s genuine about it and that she’s a real person. I could be wrong.

Karen and I emailed back and forth throughout the day on Monday and into Tuesday. (She used the same email as is shown on her website.) She first e-mailed me asking me to change the wording in our post on her, calling it libelous. She asked us to take the story down (which she was successful in doing with Radar Online, as she explains on her Twitter) but I countered that we were just repeating what she had personally written, and that if I changed the title from “bedding” to “dating” married men it wouldn’t have varied at all from what she wrote. She was cool with that, and we got into a pretty interesting and respectful debate about the topics she brought up in her essay. She was upset that people kept focusing on her looks, which she found superficial and not related to the issue. She also really didn’t see the harm in what she was doing, and the things she wrote me mirrored the essays she’s written for British outlets.

I still find her actions morally wrong, and I still cringe when I read how she’s trying to justify herself, but I will admit to having more respect for her now. This is a very charming lady who was able to sort-of win me over with her words. If she’s that slick in email, imagine how she must be in person. She’s a lady player, ya’ll and she’s in no way apologetic about it. Here’s what she wrote just for us. My name is “Katie,” which is what she’s referring to below.

This is my chance to set the record straight. I’m sure it won’t silence the haters, but I never claimed to be a Jackass Whisperer. There will always be people quick to judge on looks alone, quick to jump to conclusions based on a headline, regardless of whether it is true or not, and quick to form an opinion without knowing all the facts.

Gossip sites wouldn’t be gossip sites if those people didn’t exist. But thankfully, Katie is happy to give me a voice, to give you the facts. Most will still hate me, and hate what I do, despite what I write today, and you are all welcome to that view, but if I manage to change the opinion of just one person then I will be satisfied.

My name is Karen Marley and I am a Serial Mistress.

I have been dating married men for six years. And by dating I mean exactly that – DATING. I originally went on the dating website for married members simply because I had met so many supposedly single men on ‘normal’ dating sites. They claimed to be unattached but dropped off the planet every evening and weekend. How many of you reading this now, even the ones who despise me, can honestly, without a shadow of doubt, say they have never dated/kissed/flirted with another person’s spouse or partner?

Either knowingly or in complete oblivion, I can guarantee a huge proportion of readers will have done something with someone who wasn’t completely available.

I chose the site so I would know what I was getting in to. And as I preferred my single life, and every single man I had dated wanted something serious too soon, the married man fitted into what I was looking for at the time. I thoroughly enjoyed my single status, and still do. I could do what I wanted when I wanted and had to answer to no one; something a lot of people initially struggled to understand, but ultimately envied. I also realised I didn’t NEED a man to complete me. I was secure and confident, with an active social life, lots of friends and a great family, so I didn’t feel there was space for a full-time man. I still wanted the company of a man occasionally, but certainly didn’t ‘need’ one.

The first married man I met slotted into my life perfectly, as a companion and a great friend. We spent time together once every couple of weeks until he moved away, and we parted. We are still good friends now but don’t get chance to meet up. I moved on to another married man from the site, and our arrangement worked just as well as the last.

It left me time for the things I wanted to do, and gave him the ego boost he needed to go back to his wife with a spring in his step.

As time went on I met more married men via illicitencounters.com and became good friends with many of them. Occasionally the chemistry wasn’t quite what I expected, or circumstances/distance/work commitments invariably got in the way, so eventually over the years it amounted to over 50 men. Now and again something developed and we became more than friends, but I can assure you it was certainly nothing like the 50 men quoted in the original post about me.

I am, and always have been, incredibly choosy about my men, and I take my time over anything that could progress past friendship. How many single women reading this can say they have been so choosy with single men, either from the internet or in bars?

Over the six years I can remember, fondly, each lover I have had. Would I be able to do that if the numbers were over 50? Can you remember all of your single lovers over the years? Honestly?

In the last few days it has made me question what actually constitutes cheating. I have dated many men but not bedded them as it has been claimed, but does that count as an affair? Where does the affair begin? In his head when he makes the conscious decision to join a website to look for a mistress? Or the minute his penis enters any part of the other woman?

In the press, infidelity can vary from indiscretions on Twitter, through exchanging naked pictures via text message, to Bill Clinton ‘innocent’ oral sex, and Tiger Woods’ serial adultery. But where, in reality, does the line actually lie? And from the mistress perspective, when do I go from being a normal, single woman getting to know a man, to the evil mistress who should be vilified? How many of you have flirted a little with someone at work? Or smiled sweetly at a stranger across a bar? Does that make you a mistress? How many have got to know a man and found out later he was attached, but carried on the friendship anyway? How many can say they don’t have at least one phone number of a married man saved on their mobile? Does that make you all mistresses? Or are you just innocently friends with a married man? This is my point exactly. The majority of the time I am just that – friends with a married man. Rarely does it become more serious or physical, so can you honestly still call me a whore, slut, slag, slapper, trailer trash, c*m dumpster?

Yes, I know sleeping with married men is shocking, but I have never and will never wreck any homes. If anything gets serious, I end it. If he gets restless at home and sees me as his escape route, I end it. And if his wife ever finds out and questions him, I end it.

I want no part in any destruction or upset, so I keep my feelings in check, and enjoy the man for his charm, sophistication, intelligence and wit. We each know where the boundaries lie and never cross them, and that is how it will always be.

Judge me for what I do, I understand that will always happen. Don’t judge me just for what I look like – we all have different tastes, and I do OK thank you. Wouldn’t the world be a dull place if we all looked alike? Judge me for coming forward to talk about this, but understand that I am not bragging. I’m simply highlighting an alternative lifestyle, and trust me, I’m not the only single woman in the world doing this. But don’t judge me for dating so many men, can you all say you are completely innocent when it comes to your previous dating history?

As the saying goes:
He who is without sin cast the first stone.

Thank you for listening to my side of the story.

[From Karen Marley for Celebitchy, received via e-mail, visit her site here]

This is a lousy slippery slope argument. There’s a huge difference between winking at married men or talking to them out of necessity or even casual friendship, and actively seeking them out for a relationship, even if it’s just a “friendship” at first. Emotional affairs do wreck marriages, and those guys aren’t going home to their wives “with a spring in their step,” they’re often comparing how they feel with their wives and the drudgery of every day, with how they feel with the mistress who only has to get taken out for dinner, smile and hang on his every word. Who do you think gets the short stick? The one doing all the hard work through years of laundry, housecleaning and child rearing. This lady lives on a different planet, but I tell you after a few emails with her I told her that I’d take her out for a drink if she was ever in my city. And I meant it.

Justin Theroux says he “could not be happier” with Jennifer Aniston

Posted: 13 Jun 2012 05:47 AM PDT

These are some new photos of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux leaving the Ritz Hotel in Paris yesterday. The Ritz… owned by Mohammed al Fayed, correct? The same hotel Princess Diana was in before she and Dodi left to escape the paparazzi storm? Bad mojo. But it looks like Aniston and Theroux are just fine there – they even did this photo-op without their sunglasses. We can see their eyes!! Praise it. I'm thankful that Jennifer found a pair of jeans that don't make her look so stub-legged and paunchy – these jeans make her look very slim and leggy. She spends so much time on her figure, and all too often her casual styles don’t do much to show it off. And Justin has put away the leather pants and skinny jeans too. HUZZAH. They look really nice and cute together. WANDERLUST ON DVD. Go see Rock of Ages too.

An "onlooker" who saw JustJen at de Gaulle airport said, "They were hugging and kissing as much as possible… They got airline priority to get through customs and security, but were in no hurry. They were just so happy to be together and starting a visit to Paris as a couple.” And of course, one of Aniston's unnamed friends told Us Weekly, “Their relationship is completely different than any of her other ones. Everything about Justin feels right.” I tend to believe it, although I should point out that Aniston's unnamed friends always say that kind of crap about whoever she's dating ("dating").

Meanwhile, you should definitely check out this interview Justin gave to Extra on the red carpet of the Rock of Ages premiere. Justin fields some questions about his relationship with Jennifer, and he says "I'm very happy… I could not be happier." He also says – I think – that he would "love" to work with Jennifer again. And then, of course, Justin says: "I always go to bed thinking I’m the luckiest guy in the world." Aw.

Jenny McCarthy denies $50 mill Jim Carrey payout: ‘I’m living in a van by the river’

Posted: 13 Jun 2012 05:19 AM PDT


Jenny McCarthy was a guest on the Wendy Williams show recently. Their publicist sent us a link to her video interview (above) and I was struck by how botoxed she is. Her face barely moves at all when she talks. I rely on The Soup to keep me up to date with Wendy Williams’ show, but whenever I see it I’m impressed with how much dirt Wendy is able to dig. She asks people the questions directly from the tabloids, and I admire that about her.

When Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy were dating (they lasted five years, from 2005-2010), there was a rumor that Jim gave Jenny $50 million in a trust for her son, Evan. (Again, Evan is not Jim’s biological son at all, he’s from Jenny’s first marriage.) Around the time that they broke up, there was another story that seems to have originated in Star Magazine (I know) that Jim gave Jenny $25 million, $5 million for each year that they were together. On Wendy’s show, Jenny denied that Carrey gave her $50 million or $25 million but she never said outright that he didn’t give her a chunk of money when they broke up. She also complained about how hard it is to be a single mom, and told a dumb story about how she sent a nude photo of herself to her son’s dentist:

On why she’s posing for Playboy again
I was so tired of just seeing the 20 year olds just considered sexy. I was like “Milfs are hot too.”

How she has “working mom syndrome” and it’s been hard on her
Evan is doing amazing. He was undiagnosed from having autism, clinically which is incredible. He’s not the only one, there’s thousands of kids that get better. It was a long journey. He’s the love of my live. I’ve been suffering a lot from working mom syndrome. I’ve probably cried ten times in the past week. I saw a tarot card lady and I was like (fake crying) “I’m a terrible mother.” As a single mom I’m the only breadwinner. I’ve been trying to balance work and being a supermom. It’s been hard on me.

On if Jim Carrey gave her 50 million when they broke up
That’s not true. I’m barely living in a van down by the river. (SNL reference.) I did not get 50 million dollars. I didn’t get 25 million dollars. I went into it going “I’m going in with is mine and his is his” and I’ve always been a really strong independent woman and get back on my feet after being kicked… you know. I’ve done it all on my own. I did not want to participate.

How she texted a nude photo of herself to her son’s dentist
So Evan had this… abscess just sticking out from his gum and I’m like “OMG that’s disgusting.” So I called the dentist… and he’s like “take a picture of it and send it to me…” I sent him a nude by accident. I swear to God. I was like with my boyfriend… Can you imagine? The guy is like 80 years old.

On if she’s planning for another kid
I want to give Evan all my attention, because I am a single mom. I think, this uterus is closed.

On her new boyfriend, Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher
I wanted to have a macho guy. I was sick of having guys wanting to borrow my makeup.

[Transcribed from The Wendy Williams show, video above]

The part where she bitched about being a single mom really rubbed me the wrong way. I’m sure she’s a hands-on mom and she tries to do a lot for her son, but she’s not earning any fans by complaining about it. The woman is not hurting for money or help at home I’m sure. She tried to make a reference to Chris Farley’s famous SNL bit by claiming that she’s “barely living in a van down by the river,” but give me a break. Also, I don’t mean to split hairs but she never said specifically that Jim Carrey didn’t give her any money. She sounded cagey to me about it. She just said she didn’t get 50 or 25 million and then added that she’s “done it all on my own.” If he didn’t give her something after they split up, why didn’t she say that?

Also, I hope she made up that ridiculous story about texting a nude photo of herself to her son’s elderly dentist. That’s just dumb.

If Prince William & Kate have a girl, will they name her ‘Elizabeth Diana’?

Posted: 13 Jun 2012 04:43 AM PDT

These are some new photos of Duchess Kate and Prince William at yet another Jubilee event in England earlier today. Kate is wearing the same Missoni coat that she wore on March 1st of this year, during a photo-op with Camilla and the Queen in London. I think the hat might be new, though. You can read more about the royal trip here.

In other royal news, the bulk of Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee celebrations died down last week, and immediately following it, there was immediate speculation about when the UK might be able to "celebrate" another blessed royal event: a new royal heir, perchance? Prince William and Duchess Kate's first wedding anniversary has come and gone without a pregnancy announcement, and earlier this year, royal "sources" were tamping down expectations for a 2012 announcement. It really seemed like we were going to have to wait until well into 2013 for Wills n' Katie Baby.

But! Now the pregnancy gossip has begun anew. In Touch Weekly made Kate's phantom duchess-bump their cover last week, and an eyewitness (to the Jubilee, not the conception) told In Touch: "We thought at first it might be just the way her dress fell as she walked… But if you looked closely, it was a definite bump. It was prominent enough to cast a shadow below. She certainly has a glow in her cheeks. Her face is more rounded — and so is her bottom." Gross. Jubilee bystanders were checking out the roundness of Kate's butt. Okay, NOW I feel bad for her. When she married Will, she signed on for endless speculation about her womb, but discussing the roundness of her bottom is a gossip bridge too far, in my opinion.

Now there's a new report that suggests that Queen Elizabeth is actively encouraging Kate and Will to get off the proverbial sixpence and actually get down to some good, old-fashion royal-baby-making. And Will and Kate already have a name picked out for a little girl!

Now that Queen Elizabeth's jubilee is over, the royal couple can focus on becoming parents! A new report says Prince William and Kate Middleton are so excited about being a mummy and daddy they've already decided on a baby name if they have a girl!

"If it's a girl her middle names will be Elizabeth after Wills' grandmother and Diana after his mother," said a source to UK publication Now.

The report also says that Queen Elizabeth has been pressuring the Will, 29, and Kate, 30, to have an heir.

"The Queen's told Kate to make starting a family a priority," the source continued. "She's also told William not to let Royal duties get in the way of a family and his happiness."

[From Hollywood Life]

I've gone back and forth on the idea of William naming a potential daughter "Diana". Obviously, he loved his mother a great deal, and I have no issue with William using "Diana" as a middle name. But if he and Kate use "Diana" for a little girl's first name, I think it will end up being terribly unfair for the little girl. That's a lot of baggage to give a child, you know? But if they use the names “Elizabeth Diana” for the middle names…? Again, I have no issue with "Elizabeth" as a middle name. It would be nice if they broke out and used a first name that's never appeared in the royal family, like Princess Anne did when she named Zara (which is a name I personally adore). I also think it would be nice for Kate and Will to make a reference to the Middleton side of the family too – like, "Princess Elizabeth Diana Carole". Or better yet, "Princess Carys Elizabeth Diana Carole". Yes, it would be great if they gave their children Welsh names.

And we haven't even discussed potential boy names? Phillip Charles William? Arthur Henry William Charles? Something like that. Don't think they'll name a boy "Noah" or "Cullen". They won't.

Angelina Jolie’s PSA for World Refugee Day 2012: “No one chooses to be a refugee”

Posted: 13 Jun 2012 04:36 AM PDT

World Refugee Day is coming up next week – it's June 20th, every year. And it's become an annual thing for Angelina Jolie to make a video for the United Nations High Commission on Refugees to raise awareness on refugee issues. So it is this year as well – Angelina appears in the above video saying, "Every minute, eight people around the world are forced to flee their homes due to war and persecution… No one chooses to be a refugee… Today, 43 million people worldwide have been displaced. We remember them."

Angelina Jolie almost always participates in some of the global events for World Refugee Day too – the UNHCR sponsors panel discussions, speeches by high-profile UN personnel, awards ceremonies (awards for raising awareness about refugee crises, as well as awards to those people who actually save the lives of refugees) and other media-friendly events. I haven't seen anything about where Angelina will be for this year's events, but I'm sure some Angeloonie know-it-all will breeze in here and patronizingly tell me what I'm looking for. I anxiously await that information. In the meantime, you can show your support for the UNHCR and Angelina by going here.

Lindsay Lohan was carrying liquor in a water bottle at the time of her accident

Posted: 13 Jun 2012 04:26 AM PDT

I have an honest-to-God question: does Lindsay Lohan tell crack-lies because she's afraid of "getting into trouble" or does she just crack-lie because it's second nature to her? Like, lying is like breathing to her. Like, Lindsay doesn't know who she is unless she's lying her ass off. What would have been the big deal if Lindsay had simply admitted that she was driving her Porsche at the time of her accident, an accident that was HER fault and not the other driver's? Sure, there would insurance issues, both with the Lifetime film and with her car insurance. But wouldn't it simply have been easier to start with the truth without going out and creating a neverending cycle of crack drama, crack lies and crack denials?

Anyway, the latest in a long line of "Yeah, Lindsay has never been sober" moments. TMZ reports that "law enforcement sources" are telling them that Lindsay had an open container of alcohol in her trunk at the time of the accident. She was carrying said alcohol in a water bottle – which is her absolute favorite way to get her drink on, by hiding it in a water bottle:

Lindsay Lohan was driving with an open container of alcohol when she crashed into a truck Friday on the Pacific Coast Highway … law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Both law enforcement sources and the tow truck driver tell us … cops confiscated a plastic water bottle from the trunk of the Porsche, and our law enforcement sources tell us the bottle contained alcohol. Another law enforcement source tells us the bottle was actually in the debris field and scooped up along with other parts and placed in the trunk before it was towed away.

It’s not a violation to carry an open container in a trunk, so Lindsay is in the clear. And according to cops she had no alcohol in her system.

Nevertheless, Lindsay has been to rehab several times, so it’s not the swiftest move to roll with booze.

Of course the LAPD is all "Meh." They were meh about LL LYING to them too. They were meh about Lindsay getting coked up while on probation, while taking court-ordered drug tests. They were meh about her doing any and all cracked-out activities over the course of the past five years. The California justice system has thrown up their hands – they no longer give a crap. They never did. The California justice system's current thinking is "Let's just cross our fingers and hope that this fire crotch terror doesn't kill someone, but if she does, we still won't do anything." It's disgusting.
