Gwyneth Paltrow got a little tipsy and divulged her true feelings about the Met Gala and many other things. Paltrow was hilariously honest with Jackie O and Kyle, telling the radio hosts that the Gala was staler than Nicole Richie’s pre-weight loss Taco Bell farts. This due to a Kanye West tempter tantrum, elderly people dressing like punks, and an identity mishap involving Psy.
Do you want me to be honest? It sucked. It seems like the best thing in the world. You think, ‘Oh my god, it’s going to be so glamorous and amazing, and you’re going to see all these famous people.’ And then you get there, and it’s so hot, and so crowded, and everyone’s pushing you. This year it was really intense. It wasn’t fun!
Here’s the part about 99% of the population, including celebs, not knowing punk from Top 40:
Everyone was dressed in punk … and I feel that we’re all a bit old to be dressed punk, you know what I mean? I didn’t. I just went kind of normal. Read more…
Saturday Night Live writer and news guy Seth Meyers thanked Lorne Michaels (and his mother) on Twitter after he was confirmed as Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night replacement.
“So, next year I’m going to do this. Thanks to NBC, Lorne, but especially Mom,” he wrote, including a link to the NY Times article announcing the big move.
I like Seth Meyers. He’s very sharp on Weekend Update, but who exactly decided that Fallon’s sub had to be another SNL alumn? Is Fallon’s success, and the success of any other host, not a one-of-a-kind occurrence that has to do with individual talent?
Obsessing over his lack of versatility compared to his predecessor is pointless. He’s more comedic than Leno or Letterman, and presumably not much less in tune than Fallon, Ferguson or Kimmel. He’ll be fine.
Meyers is expected to stay on Saturday Night Live through the holidays, until early 2014.
Because Game of Thrones is on tonight, here’s a look at the new Sims 3 Dragon Valley expansion.
Anyone with eyes and ears can see that EA is cashing in on the GoT lovefest. Maybe it was the blonde short-haireed Khaleesi in the trailer, or the long-haired one in the promotional photo.
Maybe it was the red and green BABY DRAGONS that singe your hair and paint you soot black.(That actually looks way more like Holly Madison at a renaissance faire.) Read more…
Britney Spears‘ exercise and diet tips involve walking backwards on the elliptical three times a week and saying no to uncooked gobs of sugary salmonella goodness.
“I try not to make those too often or I’ll eat the whole bowl of dough,” Spears says of the chocolate chip cookies she sometimes makes for her sons. Other quotes on her regime and new CD from the latest issue of Shape Magazine:
On her Vegas residency: “I’m working out really hard for my upcoming shows in Vegas. The performances won’t be special – they’ll be a massive party from start to finish. And to pull this off, I have to be in top condition and running at full speed.”
Reverse booty workout: ”My favorite way to tone my butt is going in reverse on the treadmill and the elliptical. It targets those muscles that are often overlooked. Yeah, that’s my big secret: Do everything backwards!” Read more…
Fruitvale Station is the story of Oscar Grant, the 22-year-old man from Hayward, California who was shot and killed while laying face-first on the ground in handcuffs by a police officer at a transit station in Oakland.
The movie won several awards at Sundance including the Grand Jury Prize, which was previously awarded to the Oscar-nominated Beasts of the Southern Wild in 2012 and Winter’s Bone in 2010.
“This project was about humanity, about human beings and how we treat each other; how we treat the people that we love the most, and how we treat the people that we don’t know,” first-time director and Bay Area-native Ryan Coogler said as he accepted the award. Read more…
Avril Lavigne just debuted the video for “Here’s To Never Growing Up,” a country/pop song that titty-twists Bob Dylan and name-drops Radiohead to the tune of her biggest hit, 2002′s “Complicated.”
Forget the tune. Petra Pan dug around her closet (or went back to Hot Topic) and ironed out the white tanktop, tie and stringy black capris from her days as a 17-year-old hater of authority figures and bare wrists.
Lavigne, now 28, really hasn’t aged much since those years. She’s still the same adorably eager hyena that says “boombox” with a weird accent that really can’t be classified as Canadian.
And believe me, I’m a sucker for nostalgia. I’d be all over Britney putting on the snake scarf and tweaking the lyrics to “I’m a Slave 4 You,” but this is just plain baaaaad. Read more…
NBC just cancelled a large handful of shows to make room for a new lineup of other presumably crappy ones about vampires (Dracula), pirates (Crossbones) and Jesus freaks (Save Me).
Among the axed, Ryan Murphy’s The New Normal starring NeNe Leakes and Ellen Barkin, Go On with Matthew Perry, Jimmy Fallon’s Guys With Kids, Whitney, Smash, 1600 Penn with Jenna Elfman, and Up All Night starring Christina Applegate and Maya Rudolph.
Friday was not a good day for Elisha Cuthbert either, whose Happy Endings were cut short by ABC. (USA Network has expressed interest in picking it back up.) Read more…
Stephen and The Great Gatsby star Carey Mulligan pretended not to have read F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic [not-so-great] American novel on Thursday’s Colbert Report.
Mulligan admits that she doesn’t know how to read at all and suddenly, the Reading Rainbow theme plays (which would bring back memories if you were my age) and LeVar Burton shows up. He uses words they still don’t understand, gets annoyed and puts his Star Trek glasses on Mulligan.
My day is officially made.
Everything Carey Mulligan does it adorable. Whether she’s acting in sad organ donor movies or talking about how her awkward kissing scene with Johnny Depp was cut of out of Public Enemies. Adorable.
Final random note – I JUST found out a few days ago that Baz Luhrmann isn’t gay. He’s married to some woman named Catherine. I feel oddly betrayed by this news and had to share. Read more…
“The Celebrities Read Mean Tweets” segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live managed to cause a minor controversy when a writer noted that the tweets were “too funny” to be real.
After researching the past clips and recent one that commented on Jessica Alba’s relevance and the size of Kelly Ripa’s head and Andy Samberg’s nose, she found that a few of the accounts didn’t exist.
Others were suspended or seemed very suspicious because the users had only written one tweet.
Shame on Kimmel and his writers for being too lazy to sort through Twitter.
Forget that incredibly meaningful and touching blog post by Allie Brosh about detachment! Porn sex tape star Farrah Abraham also knows a thing or two about depression.
“I have no relationships and I’m like, sad sometimes. So, taking all that into consideration, which some find it hard to, that’s what brought me here today,” she told Entertainment Tonight after being asked why she made a porno sex tape. “I felt this was my way of embracing my sexuality and being happy for me.”
She continued to say that she only took meetings with adult entertainment companies and released the porn tape herself because she was afraid the porn star she hired to bone her on camera (James Deen) was going to leak it without her permission.
Kristen Stewart is the quiet girl in the corner who scribbles your name in a death note, according to a Reader’s Digest poll that required 1,000 people to vote on which actors and actresses they trust the least.
Tom Cruise, the whacky homeschooled boy who befriends you so he can probe your ass with pointy alien artifacts, also topped the list of untrustworthy names in Hollywood.
In the realm of meaningless popularity contests that I don’t trust, I’d say this list ranks pretty high.
Not trusting someone because of their religion is like not trusting someone because they’re gay. Worried Tom Cruise will jump on a sofa and lure you into his spaceship? How about you just NOT become a Scientologist.
Kristen Stewart was hated long before she cheated on Robert Pattinson. She’s a monster because she’s shy, can’t walk in heels, and has been known to complain about fame.
Why the f*ck isn’t Mel Gibson on this list? He’s racist, sexist and anti-semitic… Read more…
Michelle Rodriguez was brought back to life in 2011′s Fast Five only to get in a vicious, body-bruising rumble with Gina Carano’s cop character in this year’s Fast & Furious 6.
“It’s an action movie and I have so much responsibility just being a girl, like, in this lane of tomboyishness. I have to represent, [I said], ‘We have to make this real,’” Michelle told Access Hollywood on her scenes with the former MMA fighter and Haywire star. “I don’t mind getting the crap beat out of me, as long as it’s believable. For me, that comes first and foremost in the whole thing.”
I wouldn’t want to get in a fight with either (best case scenario: I die), but I’d definitely run away screaming a little faster from Gina. I mean, it actually says on her IMDb that she was “born under a tornado warning.”
Theophilus London parties it up in a cloud of smoke and women in the visual accompaniment for his new single “Rio.” Expect a new album from him (one of my favorite hip-hop artists of today) later this year.
His last full length album, Timez Are Weird These Days (2011), and two mixtapes featured collaborations with artists like Solange, A$AP Rocky, Sara Quin (of Tegan & Sara), Holly Miranda and Dev Hynes.
Poor Amanda Knox. She’s been through the ringer. Wrongly painted by the press as a drugged-out hussy with a fondness for Satanic orgies, Knox spent four years in Italian prison after she was convicted of stabbing her roommate to death because of incompetent police officers who had no evidence and did not follow proper (or legal) protocol.
Almost worse than being falsely told she was HIV positive in jail by pervs who wanted details about her sex life: the recent string of American interviews she’s subjected herself to.
The worst of ALL interviews was conducted by CNN’s Chris Cuomo, who didn’t ask, but TOLD Knox that she was “into some freaky sexual things.” (Because that’s relevant.) Read more…
Professional ball-slapper Tiger Woods showed the world his drunk face during a Met Gala after-party at the Standard Hotel in New York.
Girlfriend/pro slope hitter Lindsey Vonn looked both amused and embarrassed as she led his wobbly baby deer legs and bouncing pinball eyes through the crowds of press and fellow celebs.
The succession of photos tell a story. First, he realizes he’s lost control of the muscles in his face and body and his last drunken resort is to not change his expression. Eyes and mouth open. Show some teeth. Maybe they won’t notice…
Then he gives up. Everyone knows he’s wasted. The bloodshot eyes and wax figure pose did more than hint at that. They’re onto me. JESUS Lindsey, get me home before Elin sees.
Does the Met Gala serve a purpose, besides as a platform for celebs to outdo each other with extravagant designer gowns doused in gems that cost more than a box of black market livers?
WHO CARES. Look at the gold Givenchy dress Beyonce wore and weep poor-person tears.
WORST: Miley Cyrus (in meshy Marc Jacobs) and Kristen Stewart (in Stella McCartney).
Red pajamas and hair like Angelica’s Rugrats doll? It’s not their fault. Everyone at the ball dressed like a urinal at CBGB because it was the opening of the PUNK: Chaos to Couture exhibition.
BEST: Rooney Mara (in Givenchy) and Taylor Swift (in J. Mendel). CLICK for more insane dresses…
