June 19, 2007 · No Comments


Preggers Nicole Richie Set To Wed Nicole Richie has ignited reports she is to wed boyfriend Joel Madden after she was spotted at a Hollywood party wearing a large diamond sparkler on her ring finger. The Simple Life star has so far refused to confirm or deny recent (Jun07) U.S. reports of a rumoured pregnancy, prompted by pictures of the skinny star with a bloated belly. And now the Good Charlotte rocker - who accompanied Richie to the YSL Pool Party at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Thursday night (14Jun07) - appears to have proposed to his lover. An eyewitness tells the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six, “It was one big rock surrounded by more diamonds. “(Madden was) overly attentive to her - keeping his arm around her all night - and repeatedly asked her if she was OK.” Nicole Richie at the Beverly Hills Hotel Nicole Richie at the Beverly Hills Hotel Nicole Richie at the Beverly Hills Hotel

Tom Cruise is set to perform a Scientology wedding for a friend, it has been reported. The “War Of The Worlds” star, who is at the highest level of Scientology, will conduct James Packer’s wedding on France’s Cote d’Azur on Wednesday, according to Women’s Wear Daily magazine. The wealthy Australian heir - who is marrying model-turned-singer Erica Baxter - is one of the Church of Scientology’s richest benefactors after he inherited a $6.5 billion fortune when his father, Kerry Packer, died last year. Packer is believed to have booked out Grand Hotel du Cap-Ferrat and the Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc for wedding guests.

Free crap ain’t what it used to be

June 19, 2007 · No Comments


Oh hey, Fergie! Whatcha got there? Some ultra cool swag?? Why don’t you look more excited? That’s a muthafuckin BRATZ doll! 8-year-old girls literally murder each other over those things. And it’s free! Why so sad? Perhaps it’s because you already have that one at home? Maybe some other fucking free, cool shit will cheer you up:

*Sigh* Being a celebrity is hard isn’t it? You get so much free stuff all the time, it’s just not even fun anymore. Stupid shoes. They call that swag? What will it take to make Sir-Fergs-A-Lot smirk? Perhaps an oversized bra and panties set, signed by none other than Avril Levigne?

There we go! We got a slight smile out of you! Everyone loves big underwear! Next time you are being showered with gifts that you could just buy because you have millions of dollars, maybe try to be a bit more excited? No one wants to see a celebrity begrudgingly accepting gifts that we would give our right ovary for (Bratz people: Call me). I suggest turning it way, way up, like so:

Somebody Saw Funny Games!

June 19, 2007 · No Comments

(Thanks to Dave at VotT for this link)

Over at Shock Til You Drop, there’s a very, very, very early review of Michael Haneke’s remake of his own 1997 film, Funny Games, which doesn’t come out until January 2008.

They also share this new pic at the top there, which is really eerie in how strikingly it echoes an exact shot from the original. We’d heard the news that Haneke was doing this thing as a shot-for-shot remake, and using that picture as a judge that seems pretty damned accurate. Brady Corbett is freaking me out, he looks so right.

For more of me rambling about my insane expectations on the movie, click here. What STYD has to say about the remake, which stars Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, Corbett and (ugh) Michael Pitt, is somewhat confounding because I can’t really tell if the writer has seen the original film, but here’s the jist:

“Leave it to German director Michael Haneke to swoop into our current atmosphere of no-nonsense, gory, torture-steeped horror and throw something back in our face that challenges it all with a deliberately-paced, equally no-nonsense revisit to his 1997 shocker called Funny Games

… Haneke has delivered what’s essentially an anti-Hostel; an answer to our current yearning for over-the-top violence and excessive, stylistic entertainment. The catch is, it’s total art house fare and it will not play to everyone’s tastes. But not since seeing the French thriller Ils earlier this year has a film made my palms sweat, my knee flinch in dreaded anticipation of the degradation to come, my tastes in entertainment truly called into question…

…Watts, Roth and [Devon] Gearhart turn in brave performances; Pitt and Corbett, meanwhile, turn on the charm but keep us on constant alert.

This is a film that can’t come any sooner to turn the torture sub-genre on its head and serve as a crucial, poignant exclamation mark to its run. Brutal and altogether brilliant, I’m looking forward to seeing this again.”

It’d occured to me recently, with all the “torture porn” hullaballoo, that Haneke very well may’ve had these things on his mind with feeling the need to remake his own film. And, as often as I’ve felt myself forced into a position of defending the place for the Eli Roths of the world, I would put a bullet between Eli’s eyes to hang out with Michael Haneke for five minutes and hear what he has to say about a culture of violence. So if Funny Games plays as some sort of game of “Chicken” with the current trend in horror, then bring it on. Cannot wait.

Tommy Lee is Lazy and Incompetent

June 19, 2007 · No Comments


M tley Cr e are suing their manager over claims he made frontman Tommy Lee look “lazy and incompetent”. The band say manager Carl Stubner tarnished their image by advising the rocker to appear in reality TV shows ‘Tommy Lee Goes to College’ and ‘Rock Star: Supernova’. They claim the “inane overtones” on ‘Tommy Lee Goes to College’ made him look “incoherent, lazy and incompetent”. According to court documents, the program portrayed Tommy disrupting classes, arriving late for classes and allegedly flirting with his young tutor. The band feel the show damaged the reputation Tommy had earned “through years of great effort and hard work with M tley Cr e”. It has also been alleged Tommy’s participation in the shows interfered with the band’s 2005 tour and plans to record a new studio album, resulting in their annual revenue dropping to $19million in 2006. The band say Stubner and his company, Sanctuary Management Group, concentrated on Tommy’s less-successful side projects and ignored the group’ s commitments. In the lawsuit, M tley Cr e say: “Stubner’s motivation was greed. He has brazenly said as much. Stubner stated that he received significantly higher commissions on Tommy Lee’s solo projects because he did not have to share his take with the other managers.” “He claimed that it was a ‘no brainer’ to prefer and promote Tommy’s projects over those of M tley Cr e.” The rockers are asking for more than $20 million in damages for breach of fiduciary duty and constructive fraud.

Jessica Alba Hates Mexicans?

June 19, 2007 · 1 Comment

jess-alba-is-stupid.jpg

I ve got cousins galore. Mexicans just spread all their seeds. And the women just pop them out.

“My grandfather was the only Mexican at his college, the only Hispanic person at work and the only one at the all-white country club.

“He tried to forget his Mexican roots, because he never wanted his kids to be made to feel different in America. He and my grandmother didn t speak Spanish to their children. Now, as a third-generation American, I feel as if I have finally cut loose.

My whole life, when I was growing up, not one race has ever accepted me, So I never felt connected or attached to any race specifically. I had a very American upbringing, I feel American, and I don t speak Spanish. So, to say that I m a Latin actress, OK, but it s not fitting; it would be insincere.

My grandfather was the only one in our family to go to college. He made a choice not to speak Spanish in the house. He didn t want his kids to be different.”

Some parents are so ashamed of who they are and it’s a shame. Children learn languages so much easier than grown adults do. It’s perfectly possible to teach your child more than one language. It’s an asset to be bilingual today. Jessica still doesn’t sound very proud of her ethnicity.

If she doesn’t wanna be called a “Latin actress,” what the eff should I call her besides stupid?!

Katie Holmes Camp Livid Over Posh Comparisons

June 19, 2007 · No Comments

Stop the presses, ladies and gentlemen. Katie Holmes’ handlers friends and prison guards representatives think that celebrity gossip site TMZ.com went too far this time.

Are they talking about incessant stories run about Suri Cruise? Or the fact that we say Tom Cruise is insane? That Katie is shackled in a $35M prison without bars day and night?

No, of course not. Katie Holmes’ peeps are mad pissed because her new bob haircut was likened to that of her BFF, Posh Spice, a.k.a. Victoria Beckham.

Apparently, her people don’t see the obvious resemblance. And are, for some reason, offended that she be compared to a hot woman she obviously likes and looks up to.

According to TMZ, Katie Holmes‘ friends and agents are in utter disbelief at the comparison - claiming that she “has her own look” and would never bob it like Beckham. So to speak.

Check out the photos of Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham below. To us, the members of PoshKat are peas in a pod. Don’t you think their hair is a tad similar?
