| Duchess Kate pals around with Prince Albert at the Olympics: creepy or cute? Posted: 10 Aug 2012 07:49 AM PDT Honestly, I had my heart set on doing a Twihard Meltdown post, but there's not much new information floating around about those people. So you get a Duchess Kate post, because why not? We have new photos of her, and everyone likes to talk about her. These are photos of Kate at the aquatic center in London yesterday, where she was watching the synchronized swimming with Team GB ambassador, Robin Cousins and Olympic official Jenny Gray. Note Prince Albert of Monaco behind her, leering like your creepy, perverted neighborhood Peeping Tom. Gross. According to Yahoo, Kate actually greeted Albert with a kiss, and she and Albert and the other people were all joking around. Kate was actually cracking jokes, y'all. As for Kate's outfit – she was wearing the same old skinny jeans that she's worn throughout the past two weeks. I bet they smell funky by now. She was allegedly carrying the same navy Smythe blazer that she's been wearing a lot lately too (Smythe has actually renamed the blazer "The Duchess"). And of course, her beloved Stuart Weitzman Corkswoon wedges and a Team GB polo. Do you think Albert and Kate get along? I would imagine Kate tries to "get along" with everyone… everyone royal, that is. Even the little Monaco royals deserve Kate's largesse. And the way Albert is looking at her… ew. Where is his wife? Why does he look at Kate like he wants to devour her? Even the man beside him is like, "Dude, keep it together." Albert should try Pippa. Pippa would be up for it. As it is, Kate has her hands full with her husband and his ginger brother (yeah, I said it). Sigh… poor Charlene. Photos courtesy of WENN.      |
| Tom Cruise to ‘rehabilitate his public image’ in bid for future full custody of Suri Posted: 10 Aug 2012 07:29 AM PDT This week’s tabloids have taken a new twist in the “Tom Cruise is spoiling the hell out of Suri” theme. Yes, he’s still obviously ruining the poor child with by doing things like whisking her away to Disney World in a private jet and then granting her an evening in the non-purchasable Cinderella Castle Suite, but that’s not the problem, according to Tom’s team. The issue at hand? Tom just needs an image makeover, similar to the one he underwent for the MI4 promotional tour to ward off the 2005 crazy. See how well that particular makeover worked? Well, it actually did work (in a way) because MI4 make more than any of the previous movies in the installment. As a result, Tom has gained even more confidence than usual and believes his “wonderful Daddy” routine will work wonders in achieving his true goal of full legal custody of Suri. I can see why Tom believes he would benefit from such an image overhaul because the crap that’s come out lately has damaged his reputation even more than the aforementioned 2005 insanity. Thanks to the dissoluation of Tom’s marriage to Katie Holmes, we’ve learned that Tom was verbally abusive to Katie, and she was so frightened of him (and the CO$) that she felt the need to use burner phones while organizing her divorce game plan. Katie also felt like she was in Rosemary’s Baby while she was married to Tom because he belongs to a dangerous organization that the media is finally exposing as a cult. At this point, Tom’s reputation is probably the lowest that it’s ever been, and he’s willing to flash that creepy smile of his as long as possible to make us forget. However, I do doubt that any makeover could make us believe that Tom would be a better parent than Katie Holmes has been and will always be to Suri. We already know what happened to Nicole Kidman, and if that happens to Katie, the public (and the media) won’t stand for it. Tom is trying very hard though, and this week’s issue of In Touch lays on the scorn by bearing the (appropriately) revolting headline, “Forgetting Mommy Already?” Here’s some relevant excerpts from the story:
[From In Touch, print edition, August 20, 2012] This story makes a lot of sense and covers some ground that we’ve already theorized about here — particularly in regard to Tom playing the “full court press“ not only in regards to winning over Suri but also in trying to convince the public (by way of graciously smiling at the paps and inviting tabloid reporters for a swim) that he’s the best possible parent ever to Suri. The thing is — we’ve all watched for the past few years as Tom’s been consistently absent from both Katie and Suri’s lives while he’s been actively playing the role of Mr. A+ list movie star. So it’s going to be fairly impossible for Tom to convince the public that Suri should live with him on a full-time basis. Of course, that won’t stop him from trying. And yes, he’s probably already using CO$ slave labor to remodel Suri’s Beverly Hills bedroom. Douche. One part of the story that I don’t buy is the bit about Suri allegedly telling Katie that “she’d rather live with Daddy.” At least, I don’t buy that it happened yet … although it seems forseeable after a few more years of Tom laying things on thick. What may have actually occurred is that Suri may have wondered aloud why she’s not living with both Daddy and Mommy. Because kids do that during a divorce. This week’s Enquirer takes the same basic story (Tom spoiling the hell out of Suri) and adds an eyewitness statement that, during the Disney trip, “Suri was at the happiest place on earth, but at times she looked like the saddest little girl in the world. It was heartbreaking” The tabloid also talks to some “experts” who point out the obvious — that the drastically different parenting styles of Tom and Katie could “psychologically scar” Suri, and guess who will probably be responsible for most of the damage? Gollum. Meanwhile, People has a bit of a throwaway story about how Katie and Tom “are talking” and trying to get along for Suri’s sake. It further follows that Tom is “fine” with Katie’s decision to enroll Suri in a private, non-CO$ school. This seems like some Cruise propaganda and an effort to convince the world that Tom only wants what is best for Suri and isn’t some cult-driven freak. I think we know better than to fall for that one. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet and Pacific Coast News         |
| Jennifer Lawrence, cleavage-y in Narciso Rodriguez: gorgeous or busted? Posted: 10 Aug 2012 07:01 AM PDT GAH!! I love Jennifer Lawrence so much. These are photos from yesterday's Hollywood Foreign Press Association's 2012 Installation Luncheon, which is basically an event for various celebrities to kiss-ass with the foreign press outlets. It's basically a declaration of "I'd really like a Golden Globe nomination this year." So does Jennifer's appearance mean that she's hoping for a Globe nomination for The Hunger Games? Perhaps. It wouldn't be the weirdest nomination, honestly. Anyway, Jennifer wore this Narciso Rodriguez dress which is AMAZING. As we saw during THG promotional tour, Jennifer's stylist isn't all that, and Jennifer gets talked into some funky looks that don't really suit her. It's good to see her in such a "clean" look – frills don't suit her, and she should never wear anything that Zooey Deschanel might choose, you know? Jennifer needs Narciso, Calvin Klein, maybe Armani Prive. As for the way Jennifer is busting out of this dress… isn't it sexy? She has great boobs. And the cleavage was occasion-appropriate (cocktail dress code at a luncheon = cleavage is OK). The only thing I would change: her hair. Maybe a chignon? More photos from the event: Carla Gugino in a great little dress. She looks sexy and perfect. Bradley Cooper is a fan of the three-piece suit, and I've never seen him in skinny jeans, to his credit. But whenever I see him in a suit cut this way – with completely normal trousers – I always think, "Is he wearing a woman's pantsuit?" Kerry Washington in Dior. Too cutesy for her, I think. The pink is too bright, the cut is too… too… ugh. Christina Hendricks in a Dolce&Gabbana blouse, a Badgley Mischka skirt, and a L'Wren Scott bag. She looks kind of funereal, but it's a solid look. It's flattering, at least. Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Leo DiCaprio is a control freak, doesn’t want Erin Heatherton to talk about him Posted: 10 Aug 2012 06:25 AM PDT I enjoy how the tabloids are always trying to make Leonardo DiCaprio "happen" as a scandalous celebrity. I have no problem believing that Leo does some (many?) scandalous, gross things, but I just think the tabs pick the wrong stories to push. A few weeks ago, The Enquirer ran a story straight of Bar Raefeli's Dream Journal, all about how Leo was super-bored with Erin Heatherton and how he longed to be back with Bar. Note to tabloid editors: Leo does not date 23-year-old Victoria's Secret models because he wants witty conversations and a partnership of equals. He really is looking for the youngest, most easy-going blonde model he can find. And according to Star Mag, he's found that girl in Erin. Star claims that Leo grows more and more "quirky" (my word) with age, and Erin puts up with it. Probably because she's an easy-going 23-year-old model whose life-aspiration is to be Mrs. DiCaprio?
[From Star Magazine, print edition] Yeah, I'm not sure if I believe Leo dumped Blake. Blake's big mouth might have freaked him out – I'll buy that – but I think Blake did the dumping, and I think it was the first time in a long time that Leo got dumped. As for Leo's control-freak nature… it wouldn't surprise me. Leo is somehow able to fly further under the radar (when he wants) than Tom Cruise. How does that happen? Because Leo is a control freak who values his privacy to a really hardcore degree. And I could totally see him telling Erin to STFU about any and all details of his life.

| Taylor Swift “manipulated her way into the Kennedys,” sources say Posted: 10 Aug 2012 05:40 AM PDT On to the continuing adventures of Swifty & Jailbait Kennedy. Yesterday, we discussed whether or not Swifty moved in for the kill ("the kill" being "putting a 17-year-old's hand on her boob") on Conor Kennedy when he was only 17 years old. Considering Swifty has been circling the Kennedy family like a hawk looking for dong-shaped prey for months, I have no problems believing that Swifty was simply looking for the first somewhat eligible Kennedy boy to pounce on. Still, Swifty wants us to believe that she's not doing anything but falling in love with a lovely boy who has swept her off her feet. Yes, a boy barely out of high school (I think he was still IN high school when they first began dating) swept a musical superstar off her feet. But there's danger! Danger because Swifty could get her little heart broken:
[From The Enquirer, print edition] Oh. My. GOD. "She and Conor remind people of a young John and Jackie Kennedy – they're the talk of the town!" SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. In NO world would an 18-year-old boy (!!) and Taylor Swift remind anyone of Jack Kennedy and Jackie. NO WAY. As for the whole "Swifty is forever a victim, she's the one who needs to protect herself" storyline. I've known for a while that Swifty is the new Jennifer Aniston. Y'all need to believe me. At least In Touch Weekly is fighting the good fight with a storyline that sounds slightly more reasonable – their Swifty story this week boils down to "The Kennedys aren't so sure about this shifty Swifty person." According to In Touch's sources, "There has been a lot of talk in the Kennedy family about Taylor, and people are not happy." There's a rift between Swifty-supporters like Ethel Kennedy and "a small group of family members" who think that Swifty "manipulated her way into the Kennedys." Another part of the concern, according to In Touch (and me): Conor's mom just passed away and Conor "is especially vulnerable." A source says: "It should be a time for the family to get together and heal… Taylor is using Conor to get an in with his family… they feel that if he falls for her, she may break his heart." Which leads me to finally (!!) give you my theory on how this Conor-Swifty relationship will end: Conor: "I don't know, I've never really understood why people like ponies." No, in all honesty he'll probably dump her. Over the phone. Because that's just what happens to her. And then she'll devote a whole album to it. The album will be called… Forgetting Camelot. Or Lost Camelot. Or Bubblegum Camelot Dreams. Songs will include: "It Felt Like Dallas When You Dumped Me" and "I'm Your Marilyn". Photos courtesy of WENN, Fame/Flynet.    |
| Joseph Gordon Levitt thinks Anne Hathaway is an ‘insufferable snob’ – maybe Posted: 10 Aug 2012 04:50 AM PDT Do I love Anne Hathaway? Yes. I really do. I used to find her annoying and twee, but then I saw Rachel Getting Married, and I've had a real affection for her ever since. Plus, I think she's a workhorse, a professional, and I don't get the impression that she's trying to out-diva anyone. She'll put in the work, and she rarely complains. Now, saying all that… do I think Anne could probably be pretty annoying in real life? Yep. I have no problems believing that. And according to Star Mag, Anne's TDKR costar thinks she's super-annoying and snotty and egotistical too. That costar? Joseph Gordon Levitt!!
[From Star Magazine, print edition] Eh. JGL strikes me as the dude version of Anne – a workhorse, a pro, not a diva. Maybe they rub each other the wrong way because they're so similar? Or maybe this is all completely fictitious – because I couldn't find any photo evidence of JGL and Anne avoiding each other during TDKR's promotion at all. If anything, Anne seemed to want to be physically closer to Joseph than to Christian Bale. Cough. Oh, I did find this video of Annie and JGL performing together at an event for his company/thing, HitRECord, last year. Uh… they look pretty friendly to me. They both seem like they're on equal footing as theater/drama geeks. I could actually imagine them dating. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet and WENN.    |
| Kim Kardashian is allegedly off The Pill, trying for a baby with Kanye West Posted: 10 Aug 2012 04:30 AM PDT I keep telling you, I'm consistently surprised by how boring Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are together. I was expecting a lot of tabloid drama, many Twitter meltdowns, perhaps even a fistfight at a music awards show (between Kanye and some unknown dude who Kim might have slept with). Instead, Kimye is all about boring domesticity, little to no drama, all smooth sailing and on-the-same-page famewhoring. It's ridiculous. I guess there's a little drama over the fact that Kim is still a married woman, and this, Kanye (ever the classy gentleman) doesn't want to propose to her… yet. And there's drama about whether or not Kim and Kanye will lock this thing down with a baby. A few weeks ago, The Enquirer claimed that Kim was saying no to a pregnancy… because she didn't want to lose her money-making figure (?). But now In Touch says that Kim is definitely off of The Pill, and she's looking to get a gut full of Yeezy.
[From In Touch Weekly, print edition] In Touch also says that on August 3, Kanye debuted three new songs at Manhattan's PH-D Rooftop Lounge, and he included one about his (his words) "future wife" and said that he wants her to have his babies. Incidentally, one of the songs Kanye debuted was written for and about Kim. Kanye calls it "Perfect Bitch". A lot of people have been up in arms about the feminist or misogynistic implications of Kanye writing a song for Kim in which he refers to her as a bitch. But y'all bitches are totally overreacting.

| Agyness Deyn just now realized new hubby Giovanni Ribisi is hardcore CO$ Posted: 10 Aug 2012 04:25 AM PDT Here are some photos of English model Agyness Deyn walking around in Los Feliz on 7/30. As you can see, Agyness is suspiciously rubbing her belly, which led one of our photo agencies to conclude that she might be preggers, which might be a decent explanation for her sudden nuptuals to Giovanni Ribisi in late June. Honestly though? I doubt Certainly, this remains an odd coupling, and it still kills me inside that Giovanni is a Scientologist since he’s such a bloody talented actor. In fact, I think he’s probably the best talent that the CO$ could ever hope to retain (sorry, Tom), and since Giovanni is 2nd-generation CO$, I will cut him a bit of slack and conclude that he’s probably stuck without a way to leave the cult without having to say goodbye to his family forever. On that note, there’s an interesting story in this week’s issue of Star that points towards “Scientology troubles” between the (formerly?) happy couple. Apparently, Agyness had no idea that her lovely new fellow was all hardcore CO$. And now she’s all like, “Oh hell noes!” Really:
[From Star, print edition, August 20, 2012] See, this is why you’re not supposed to marry someone that you’ve only known for two months. Especially in Hollywood, where there exists a fairly decent likelihood that you might, you know, accidentally marry a Scientologist! Seriously though, all Agyness had to do was perform a simple internet search on Giovanni — even his Wikipedia page confirms that he’s very active in the CO$ hoopla. Damn that Xenu.

| David Duchovny denies Gillian Anderson romance, they’re ‘good friends’ Posted: 10 Aug 2012 04:24 AM PDT
It started as at least two blind items that were too good to be true – the real life Scully and Mulder were both single and had fallen in love after fighting a mutual attraction for nearly two decades. Then Celebrity Dirty Laundry claimed to have a source confirming that Gillian Anderson, who just announced a split from her longtime partner, had shacked up in L.A. with David Duchovny and her two kids. (David’s kids, one of whom is actually named Kyd, are presumably with their mom, Téa Leoni.) Tea and David are still officially married, having announced a separation in 2008, then they reconciled, then they separated again last summer. We sometimes get tips e-mailed to us from sources, and unless we can verify who they’re from we don’t run them. So we didn’t run it when we were e-mailed a tip in May that Gillian and her partner, Mark Griffiths, had been broken up for a year at that point. The source never mentioned it, but that year would have roughly coincided with the time that David and Tea announced they were off-again. *Elbow nudge* Here’s part of Celebrity Dirty Laundry’s report, which makes the young me squee a lot. I so much hope it’s true!
[From Celebrity Dirty Laundry] CDL also points us to an interview with the London Sunday Times magazine (it’s only available to subscribers or I would link it) in which Anderson was cagey when the subject of her lovelife came up. That doesn’t reveal much and her response could be explained by the fact that she had already broken up with her partner at that point. In response to these really awesome rumors, David Duchovny’s rep told Wonderwall that “the romance rumors aren’t true, but adds that the once (and hopefully future) co-stars are still good friends.” Friends with benefits, right? I dressed up as Scully for Halloween once. I made a badge I modeled off versions of hers on the Internet and I wore a suit jacket. I had like the same haircolor and cut as her and everything, so it wasn’t hard. So yes, I was a big X-Files fan and I’m personally invested in this story. I know these people are totally different IRL than the characters they played, and I know Duchovny has a sketchy past with his stint in rehab for sex addiction and all. I still really hope this is true and that they found solace in each other’s arms after their other relationships broke off naturally and with no overlap or cheating on their part. I also hope no one conspires to keep them apart like in the last couple seasons of X-Files. That show really faltered without Duchovny. Here’s Duchovny at the premiere of Goats last night. He plays a goat man, seriously. It actually doesn’t look bad and co-stars Vera Farmiga. It got bad reviews, though. The trailer is at this link.

| Derek Hough pitched a fit when a fan tried to take a photo of him in a gay bar Posted: 10 Aug 2012 04:21 AM PDT For better or worse, Derek Hough is a pretty fantastic dancer with an amazingly ripped body. That much is obvious, but there’s always been something quite ambiguous about Derek, which is that he has acquired the reputation for wooing the ladies, but there might be something else there, you know? First there was the contrived romance between he and Shannon Elizabeth (which she later admitted was entirely fake for purposes of “DWTS” votes), and then he supposedly hooked up for awhile with Cheryl Cole, but then she dumped him for a fame upgrade. All along, Derek has gotten along quite famously with his possible future brother-in-law, Ryan Seacrest, which has provided plenty of fodder for beard-related jokes. I guess what I’m saying is that there have been persistent rumors that Derek might actually be gay. Who knows if these rumors are true or not? Regardless of his sexuality, I guess all the talk may have gotten under Derek’s skin. According to a story in this week’s Enquirer, Derek threw a little diva fit when some dude tried to take a photo of him at a Salt Lake City gay bar:
[From Enquirer, print edition, August 20, 2012] Gay or straight, shiny silver pants are an abomination. Derek really should know better! Now I’m worried about his style, people. Seriously though, I have to wonder whether or not this story is true because Derek probably wouldn’t frequent a gay bar if he was truly worried that he’d be photographed there, right? Like, if he wanted to dance at a gay hotspot, then it follows that he shouldn’t be so defensive if he got recognized there too. It just seems odd that Derek would get so bloody freaked out about it all, but who knows. Now here’s what we’ve all really been waiting for — more photos of shirtless Derek Hough on the beach! You’re welcome. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet         |
