Some used-to-be Hollywood publicist is playing havoc with my mind.

First, he infiltrates my deepest fears by claiming Jake Gyllenhaal is gay, then he goes on to say the love of my life is expecting a baby with his boyfriend in a month!

Apparently, Jakey has been dating the same guy for years (although no one’s clear on who the mystery boyfriend is) and is preparing to come out “some time by the end of next month” so he can celebrate his new bundle of joy with a clear conscience. Read More »

Justin Timberlake gets around.

He’s done a lot for music, knows how to play the celebrity game, and has even started to gain some acting chops. So sure, the boy’s got talent.

And even if you’re like me, and don’t find JT any hotter than that lanky guy sitting next to you on the subway, it’s easy to see why other people find him attractive. All those years in the limelight have made him a pretty confident fellow, and he almost always shows up in an outfit the works. Timberlake knows how to work that babyface.

And apparently, he works it to get every hot young thing in Hollywood.

Page Six (I know, let’s take a moment to recognize the source) is reporting that JT recently found himself at a club “sitting with a bronze-skinned brunette” and pretending like he had no idea who his girlfriend of a few months, Jessica Biel, was.

A steamy source also whispered that the J-Dawg “is notorious. He will [bleep] anything”. Read More »

The only reason I hesitate to proclaim LL’s career completely dead is because comebacks are so big these days. She could land herself a E! series, or maybe even some giant Barbara Walters special where she cries. There’s a chance Lindsay could rise again.

But just in case she doesn’t, Hollywood had better start looking for new big-boobed starlets.

A New York Times article (yup, even the grand old NYT is digging through Tinseltown garbage these days…) claims now that Lindsay has been arrested twice, she’s basically uninsuriable. And when you’re uninsuriable in Hollywood, everything fades to black.

If a production company can’t be sure a star will show up for work or stay out of jail, it’s unlikely she’ll be hired. One missed day can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars down the drain, and almost no actress is worth that kind of anxiety. Combine Lindsay’s unpredictable behavior with her less-than-stellar film record, and you’ve got a girl who can be (and most likely already has been) replaced.

Poor Things, a small independent film (that was supposed to begin shooting shortly) in which LiLo had only a supporting role, was recently plagued by rumors of an early demise after Lindsay’s first rehab stint. Since the starlet was arrested a second time, the movie’s producer claims the film is “moving on” – supposedly without the troubled star. Read More »

Let’s get real.

Suspenders aren’t especially groundbreaking or shocking, and they’re definitely not new, but it seems some of Hollywood’s most fashion forward stars beg to differ.

The trend started way back in late 2005 or early 2006 and looked to be picking up some speed; places like H&M and Forever 21 carried suspender dresses and shorts for us ladies looking to be budget trendsetters. Then, as quickly as it came, the idea seemed to just – drop off. Read More »

As any child of the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s knows, these days, MTV is a virtual wasteland. A repetitious, celebrity obsessed, materialistic channel that now seems to hire VJ’s based on their height and weight rather than their music expertise. My Super Sweet Sixteen makes any girl who had less than 1500 people and 17 white ponies at her birthday feel like she was cheated, and if you happen to be out of high school, there’s almost nothing—with the exception of True Life—that deals with your issues.

And I don’t have to even get into the music video problem. Or the fact that the channel’s completely lost its bite. The argument is old. Everyone knows MTV has sold out to big business and bling.

The show that highlights everything wrong with what was once our beloved edgy escape? The Hills.

This show is trash. Pure garbage. White 20-somethings bitching and whining that their deep pockets aren’t deep enough and their amazing jobs aren’t amazing enough. Bleach blond, breast-implanted bimbos who aren’t doing a thing to make this world a better place. Interning at Teen Vogue and working the door at some Hollywood club? This is supposed to drama? This is supposed to interesting? This is supposed to be camera worthy? Read More »

Is it just me, or does Hilary Duff never seem very happy?

Sure, she’s on the cover of magazines posing with her new abs proclaiming that she’s comfortable at 5’2” and 109 pounds (down almost 20 pounds from her reported weight of 130 in 2003), has been seen out and about since her split with ugly, ugly, ugly Joel Madden, and is giving interviews saying she’s “all set” with the ending of her first big love affair…but I just can’t help detecting weariness in between all those words.

First of all, at 5’2”, 109 is not the easiest weight to maintain. I’m that height, and the last time I weighed 109 was when I had just gotten out of surgery and spent three weeks puking from anesthesia side-effects. These days I’m almost spot on with the Duffster’s old weight, and even those numbers prove to be difficult when it’s 98 degrees and all I want is a giant cone from Cold Stone Creamery.

Second, it’s gotta be hard as hell to see your Ex cavorting around Hollywood with Nicole Richie, and even harder to know he got the chick pregnant. Read More »

As temperatures rise and shorts, bathing suits, and skirts become less about fashion and more about necessity, it becomes more and more vital that I love myself. I must love myself because I’m not always the biggest fan of my thighs and stomach. I must love myself because I always think my arms could be firmer and my knees could stop looking so weird.

As I type this, I’m sitting at my desk in a bathing suit (living in New York has kept me far away from any type of swimming pool, but bathing suits are much more acceptable than a bra and underwear if someone were to knock or accidentally look into my apartment. Or if a stranger crawls through my window while drunk. This has happened. I am now always prepared), sweating and drinking water like a mad woman. Read More »

I’m not quite sure why, but I really, really can’t stand Jennifer Aniston.

It might be the media. Ever since her break-up with Brad Pitt (which seemed to be more his doing than hers…at least action wise), she hasn’t exactly been the golden darling of the paparazzi she was during her Friends years. If she isn’t covering her face or frowning, she’s giving interviews telling everyone that she’s “perfectly fine” and “completely happy”. Combine those lackluster quotes with movies that have, for the most part, died a quiet death at the box office, and you’ve got a movie star who’s more than just grumpy and boring—you’ve got a movie star who’s losing her appeal.

Aniston’s partnership with SmartWater isn’t winning her any fans either. As CC’s own Solmaaz pointed out, all those cheesy pictures of Jen gripping a bottle of the stuff do nothing but remind us how gluttonous Hollywood celebs are. It’s not enough that the girl probably has over 30 million in the bank, she has to go and become an advertising whore to a giant corporation. Read More »

I was really hoping we’d all forget about Paris Hilton.

Really. After her trail / jail fiasco was recorded on every news station in America (even CNN covered it…although every time they did the anchors looked uncomfortable), I honestly thought the overexposure was going to be enough to make us finally not care about what Paris Hilton does, says, or cries about.

But just like the time I bought those designer jeans that didn’t quite fit and convinced myself I’d lose the weight—I was wrong.

Not only has Paris been interviewed via telephone by E! (Right. She’s not getting special treatment. Just conducting a major interview with a major television channel while she sits in jail…) she’s also in talks to appear on a primetime NBC show as soon as she’s released. And how much will the boring blond get for the trying ordeal of appearing on a nationally syndicated TV show? $1 million dollars.

“You know my gratitude has gone up so much and I just realize that the media used me to make fun of and be mean about it” Paris whined to Ryan Seacrest on his E! show on Thursday. “Frankly [I'm] sick of it and I want to use my fame in a good way.” Read More »

There’s nothing more annoying than when celebrities complain about their hard-knock lives.

In this month’s issue of Elle magazine, People.com reports that Jessica Biel opens up about the struggles of being hot in today’s Hollywood. Gag me.

In the article, Jessica says, “Parts that I want aren’t going to me. Like “The Other Boleyn Girl” with Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman. I don’t want to say there’s nothing I love that I can’t have. But there’s still the occasional script that the director doesn’t want to see you for. They want that top tier of girls.”

Biel was named “Sexiest Woman Alive” by Esquire magazine and said, “I thought the Esquire cover was going to be really positive for my career. But it wasn’t, really. [One director told me] ‘I’m not looking for the sexiest woman; I’m looking for the girl next door.’”

Here is the photograph that appears next to the new Elle article. Is it just me, or does this scream contradiction?

I really feel for you, Jess. You’re more than just the pretty face and killer body everyone associates with you as an actress. By the way, here she is, not exploiting her sexiness. And here she is again. And again. Read More »
