Celeb Roundup: The Natives are Restless

September 13th, 2008 Written by: Kendra · 1 Comment

  • Pam Anderson clearly states her opinion of Sarah Palin.  When Pam was asked what she thought of the photo of Governor Palin, an avid hunter, with an animal pelt (a bear) draped over a couch behind her,  Pamela eloquently said, “I can’t stand her.  She can suck it!” Click here to see the video.  Ha, Pam Anderson.  Ha ha.
  • Kanye West was arrested in, where else, the airport.  That is, of course, the place to get busted if you’re a celebrity.  But, no Kanye wasn’t packing heat or hiding illegal drugs.  He allegedly attacked a photographer who was trying to get a shot of him.  Actually, I don’t even need to say “allegedly” because TMZ got it all on tape.  Dude.  When good ole’ Kanye saw the TMZ guy filming, he rushed at him and yelled, “Gimme that f**king tape!”  Whoa.  Scary chipmunk coming at ya!

Film: Anne Hathway Speak Out About Her Break Up

September 11th, 2008 Written by: Mali · No Comments

Breaking up while currently releasing a huge blockbuster movie is not easy. Having your boyfriend being convicted of fraud, not so easy either. Remaining calm, cool, and collected while having to promote the damn thing. Near impossible. But Anne Hathway seems to be doing a great job handling the situation. Although she staying quiet on the issue, she has finally decided to talk about how all of this has affected her life.

Here is what she said in the new issue of W magazine:

“Right now I don’t have the wherewithal to be anything except professional. As soon as I found out about the arrest, I had to get on a plane to Mexico to do a press tour for Get Smart. And then I spent a week in shock at a friend’s house. And then I had to go back and do more press, and I haven’t stopped since. At different stages of my life, I’ve felt I’ve been two ages simultaneously. I’d be a professional working adult and also a typical 13-year-old. Right now I have the distinct feeling that I’m two ages again, and the older part of me that I relied on many times in the past in difficult moments, that’s the part that got me here today. That’s the part that says, ‘You do your job, you keep your head up.’”

Celeb Roundup: It’s All About Sex

September 10th, 2008 Written by: Kendra · No Comments

  • Posh upgrades her do.  She chopped off the angled alien bob and was photographed sporting a much chicer pixie cut at the Marc Jacobs show in NYC last night.  Mrs. Beckham looks hot, man!  And, not in a plastic creepy way but in a real-live-girl-with-a-pulse way!  Who knew she was actually pretty under all that hair and bronzer and those sunglasses?
  • Minnie Driver gives birth to a bouncing baby boy! Henry Story Driver, weighing in at 9 lbs., 12 oz., was born Friday here in Los Angeles. Minnie is keeping quiet about the identity of her baby daddy.  She revealed that he is English and “sort of in the same business,” to the U.K.’s Independent in May.  Wow, Minnie.  So mysterious.  Hmmm.  English and in the same business? 10 bucks it’s Mr. Bean!

Celebri-Dumbass of the Week: Kate Hudson?

September 9th, 2008 Written by: Kendra · 1 Comment

Wow, this one really pains me to write.  I’ve always “liked” Kate Hudson, as much as you can like someone you’ve never met before.  Perhaps I was smitten by the cool combo of her character from Almost Famous and the fact that she was married to the lead singer of one of my favorite bands from back in the day (The Black Crowes).

Plus, let’s face it, she’s adorable and the chic knows how to dress.  If I could pick a celebrity closet to raid, it would be hers for sure.  But, the blogs are all blowing up about her allegedly being rude to everyone and freaking out this past weekend at a party for Rachel Zoe in NYC.  This isn’t the first incident I’ve read about where she seemed like an obnoxious biatch.  Here’s what happened, according to the New York Post.  Read it and you can judge for yourself:

Celeb Roundup: Remember Whack-A-Mole?

September 6th, 2008 Written by: Kendra · No Comments

This has nothing to do with Whack-A-Mole.  I just really wanted to type that.  Things are slow this week, folks.  But, here’s what’s a happening:

  • Beyonce is over being a pop star.  Uh-huh.  I’m over oxygen.  And coffee.  Yeah, right!  Beyonce told Marie Claire UK, “There is a time limit on being a pop star, yes. Being a legend, an icon? Absolutely not. I’m over being a pop star. I don’t wanna be a hot girl. I wanna be iconic. And I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. I feel like I’m highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records. And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.”  Nah, girl.  You did not just say that to a reporter!  That’s the stuff you say to Jay in the limo after you’ve had too many white wine spritzers.  People can’t afford the gas it takes to get to their jobs at Burger King.  Saying that being a pop star is “not enough” loud enough for people to hear you is just obnoxious.
  • It’s official.  She’s doing it again.  Yeah, Brit Brit’s opening the VMA’s.  “MTV has long played an important role in my career. How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs?” Britney said in an official statement released to the media. “I’m excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated.”

David Duchovny’s Sex Addition: Blame it on Los Angeles, Says FOX

September 5th, 2008 Written by: Liana Aghajanian · No Comments

As you know by now, our one and only beloved Mulder has entered rehab for sex addiction of all things. For some reason, he felt the need to announce this to the world. In a statement to US Magazine, Duchovny said that he voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction and asked for respect and privacy as him and his family dealt with the situation. Wikipedia describes sex addicts as people who, possibly out of fear of any truly intimate relationship, repeatedly and compulsively try to connect with others through highly impersonal intimate behaviors such as masturbation, empty affairs, frequent visits to prostitutes and voyeurism.

FOX News, more specifically columnist Roger Friedman, decided to way in on Duchovny’s announcement.

When Duchovny is done with the rehab, I’m also told that he and Tea and their kids will complete their move to Manhattan’s Upper East Side from Hollywood. They will be very welcome here, as Tea is much in demand work-wise. Duchovny will have more “Californication” and plenty of offers. New York doesn’t solve all your problems, but it’s a much more realistic place to live than Los Angeles.
