Liv Tyler in polka-dotted Stella McCartney: dated, fug or cute?

Posted: 05 May 2011 08:38 AM PDT

I think I knew at one point that Liv Tyler and Stella McCartney have been friends for a long time. Stella's high-profile friendships seem to get overshadowed in the ongoing Gwyenth-Madonna War, but here are some new photos of Liv being the biggest celebrity to show up for her friend Stella, at Stella's new store opening in NYC. Liv wore Stella too - this polka-dotted mess of a dress. It looks so… dated. Is Stella just grabbing dresses from the 1990s (all of them worn by Julia Roberts??) and calling them her own designs?

With a friendship going back over a decade, Liv Tyler can always be counted on to be one of Stella McCartney’s biggest champions. So when the British designer opened her latest store in Tyler’s hometown of New York, the actress was a guaranteed attendee.

The Lord Of The Rings beauty showed off her stunning figure in a black polka dot dress from Stella’s Autumn/Winter 2011 collection as she arrived at the Manhattan boutique. The 33-year-old, who stands tall at 5ft 10in, teamed the sheer and structured peplum dress with a pair of towering heels. Polka dots are back in fashion this season with a host of designers incorporating the pattern into their designs.

But the designer was typically more casual in a white top and black trousers as she welcomed guests and fashion writers into her latest store.

On Monday night, Tyler was in another Stella design at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art Institute Gala. The actress wore a dramatic white feathered strapless number with an ombre yellow hemline at the event, which was held in tribute to late designer Alexander McQueen.

Yes, CB was going to write about Liv's Stella dress at the Met Gala, but she never got around to it (because there were SO MANY photos that day!). I've included some photos of it, below. I don't really like it… on Liv. I think it might have worked better on a blonde, although I think PARTS of the dress are rather lovely. However, the yellow-butt thing is just weird.

Jesse James: Kat Von D is “100 percent” better in bed than Sandra Bullock

Posted: 05 May 2011 08:11 AM PDT

wenn3169088

The more Jesse James talks, the more we come to know the narcissistic selfish creep he truly is. Yesterday we covered some segments of his new memoir, in which he generally made himself out to be this cult figure who came from a rough upbringing and whose incredible betrayal of Sandra Bullock was somehow excusable in light of his childhood. It wasn’t anything new from the guy and it won’t do much to bolster his image. He never admitted how many strippers he slept with or discussed all the dumbass text messages and e-mails he sent them before screwing them on the coffin couch in his office. It was all “poor Jesse” and how he was just this wounded soul who never felt worthy of Sandra’s love.

Well Jesse also said yesterday that he didn’t really give a crap about how Sandra might feel now that he’s revealing intimate details of their relationship in that twisted “me me me” way of his. He said “I think I've spent a good chunk of the last five or six years worrying only about her and what she thinks and what I should do and, you know, controlling all my movements and everything else and I think it's time to worry about Jesse, and making sure Jesse's happy. God or whoever you believe in must have thought I was pretty f*****g strong to lump that on me.”

So someone else brought this on Jesse, not himself, and he showed how much he cared about Sandra for six by trying to hide his many affairs with random tramps he picked up in strip bars and on MySpace.

Jesse went on Howard Stern yesterday and called his new fiance, heavily tatted Kat Von D, “100% better” in bed than Sandra. I hope he met his match in that woman, and that she rakes him over the coals and cheats on him every which way to Sunday. You know she has it in her, unlike Sandra. Maybe they have an agreement that they can see other people anyway:

In a raunchy appearance on Howard Stern's Sirius satellite show today, James gave a thumbs up to fiancée Kat Von D for her prowess in the sack.

He then alluded that Sandra Bullock lacks talent in [bed]

Motorcycle guru James, star of Monster Garage, was on the show to promote his new book, American Outlaw, but of course the conversation inevitably turned to his bedroom antics.

“That one is an easy no-brainer,” Stern said after wondering who's better. “Kat Von D.”

“One hundred percent," James replied. "She’s a vixen. If she cheated on me, I would forgive her and still love her.”

The tatted-out James told Stern he was famously unfaithful to the stunning Oscar-winning Bullock because he never felt comfortable in her world.

“She could stand there in front of the world and say she loved me, but in my mind I was thinking, 'Yeah? Bulls**t. You don't love me. I'm just some biker kid,'" he confessed, adding that he began straying from the Blind Side star two years after their 2005 wedding.

James is convinced that he will have better luck with his fourth marriage to Von D, telling Stern why she is the one: “When everybody kind of turned their back on me and . . . and totally persecuted me and, like, nobody wanted to be my friend. She was there for me through all of it. Who would imagine that one year later I would be happier than I’ve ever been? There’s only one now, and one forever. I’m devoted to this chick and she’s rad.”

[From Radar]

I’ve actually heard this same story before. Douche boyfriend (or girlfriend) cheats, tries to get ex-lover back, is rejected and then claims the new lover is better in bed than the old one anyway. I hope that he marries Kat and that she takes him to the cleaners. This will be his fourth marriage and he thinks he has it right this time. He deserves what he’s about to get.

Camy Diaz, ‘Shopped in Cosmo: “I think you get better as you age”

Posted: 05 May 2011 08:04 AM PDT

camy1

I told you yesterday - Cameron Diaz's promotional campaign is gearing up for Bad Teacher, and she's going to be on every magazine, doing every interview, and appearing on every television show for the next month. Yesterday, we saw her two covers from Elle UK, as well as some excerpts from her June Maxim cover. And now we have her cover for the June issue of Cosmopolitan. It's very side-booby. Do you think Camy's side-boob actually looks like that? Discuss. Here are two small excerpts from Camy's interview:

Cameron Diaz on her life philosophy: "I think you get better as you age. You know what you want, and you become stronger mentally, emotionally, and physically…But also, things have happened recently that have pushed me to grow. My father died, and having gone through that really made me think about my life and how I want to live it."

Drew Barrymore on her friendship with Cameron Diaz: "She's my sister, but we bro out and have crazy adventures. I always know that she is game. Most people don't know this, but she's very edgy…That has been a big part of our friendship, knowing that she will throw down at any time as well as that sisterly, cozy, nurturing love that we have." - Drew Barrymore in the June issue of Cosmopolitan

[From Cosmopolitan]

I've said it before, but I do think Camy changed when her father died. Ever since then, she's seemed… sadder. More introspective. Of course, that's what I think from the outside - maybe if I actually knew her, I would see that she's the same old clingy bitch as before?

In another interview, Camy also talked about working with her ex, Justin Timberlake in Bad Teacher. When asked how they could work together after breaking up, Camy said: "Life is long. Why would you ever live in the past when you can live in the present, and allow the future to be bright and happy and exciting? There’s no reason. I think people’s mentality is, ‘It didn’t work out!’ But, like, what didn’t work out? What’s supposed to happen?… We break up. We move on. All I want for him is his happiness. And all he wants is my happiness. His isn’t reliant on me, and mine isn’t on him. It was at one point; we had that moment, but now… let’s make a movie. Let’s go have some fun. We’re good at being funny together. We know how to do that. That’s easy.” Meh.

Kate Middleton will make her first trip (ever) to America in July

Posted: 05 May 2011 07:38 AM PDT

fp_7235266_barm_groom_royalwedding_148_151

It's time for some royal updates and stories! The wedding of Catherine Middleton and Prince William took the covers of Us Weekly, and a special "collector's edition" of People Magazine, Time and various other publications. The issues don't really contain any information that we haven't already (exhaustively) covered. Here are some other pieces of interesting information post-wedding though:

*Us Weekly says that although Will & Kate should be known as Mr. and Mrs. Cambridge (because they're now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge), Will still wants to be known as Will Wales. According to a source, "For day-to-day life, they are the Cambridges. But behind closed doors they are calling each other Mr and Mrs Wales. It’s cute.” For his job, "He will still be known as Flight Lieutenant William Wales."

*Will & Kate are coming to America in July! They will be doing an official tour of Canada from June 30-July 8, and then they will go to California, for reasons that are not known at this time. According to People, this will be Kate's first-ever trip to America! Oh, and Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to host a dinner for them. That should be epic.

*Sarah Burton, the chief designer of the House of McQueen and the designer of Kate's wedding dress, has given an interview. She doesn't say much, other than it was a lot of fun for her to hide and sneak around.

*Kate wore a perfume by Illuminum called White Gardenia Petals for the wedding. That perfume has now sold out worldwide. I'm not a fan of gardenia on younger girls - I associate it with older women.

*Prince Harry had a Wiggly Worm in his pocket, and he whipped it out for children. The story is actually adorable, not sketchy!

*Time Mag reports that there was a plan - called Operation Pumpkin - in place in case Kate decided to "bolt" from the wedding. This is too good:

Royal officials and security people had plans in place for “Operation Pumpkin,” in the event that Kate Middleton decided to bolt rather than walk down the aisle.

The Register has all the completely true details of the security’s back-up plan, down to just how far they were willing to let Prince William chase Kate (up to, but no more than, half a mile). And what would happen if Wills caught up to his bolting bride? He would have been allowed a timed amount of pleading, before a taxi would whisk Kate away.

And just why would the woman dubbed “Waity Katie” want to ditch the wedding of the century? There are myriad reasons why a sane person wouldn’t want to marry into a family such as William’s, but we suspect that if the bride had chosen to run it would’ve been due to the Duchess title bestowed on her. After all that time and effort, she still wasn’t going to be a princess? We’d certainly be ready to run.

Interestingly enough, there was no plan set in place in case Wills decided to ditch Kate. As a highly-placed anonymous M15 source told the Register, “We only plan for things that make sense. [Prince William] doesn’t want to be back on the dating scene wearing a rug, does he?”

[From Time]

HARSH!!! But it would have been hilarious is Kate bolted. She wouldn't have been Waity Katie then. She would have been Kate The Bolter.

John Travolta’s wife Kelly Preston, daughter Ella Bleu sign onto ‘Gotti’

Posted: 05 May 2011 07:30 AM PDT

fp_7151091_travolta_john_cjny_07_08

Although Kelly Preston recently gave birth to a new son, that still doesn’t change the fact that she’s a complete Scientology whackjob. Further, she’s a whackjob who can’t seem to land any new acting roles on her own and without the help of husband John Travolta, with whom she’s appeared in the last few years in both Old Dogs and From Paris with Love (in the very prestigious uncredited role of “Woman on Eiffel tower”). Now, she’s joined John again (as well as cracked-out Linnocent) to play his onscreen wife:

The upcoming John Gotti biopic is becoming a real family affair.

Actress Kelly Preston has been cast to play the Dapper Don’s wife Victoria DiGiorgio, opposite her real life husband John Travolta.

And the couple’s 11-year-old daughter Ella Bleu will play their on-screen daughter Angel.

“We’re really excited to have Kelly on board. We are friends with the Travoltas, and they have great chemistry. It will be great onscreen. It’s a very tender relationship in the screenplay,” producer Marc Fiore told the Daily News.

The Travolta clan will be joined by 12-stepping starlet Lindsay Lohan who’s set to play Kim Gotti, the wife of mob scion John (Junior) Gotti.

“I think she’s going to rock the part. She’s going to impress a lot of people,” Fiore said of Lohan, who is embroiled in a jewelry theft case.

Producers have yet to cast the roles of John Jr. and his blonde bombshell sister, Victoria.

The flick, titled Gotti: Three Generations, is slated to begin filming in New York in January and hit theaters in late 2012.

[From NY Daily News]

Other than Travolta (who isn’t all that lately himself), this entire cast is shaping up to be one hell of a joke, and now John and Kelly are dragging Ella Bleu in the “family business” too. Honestly, this movie seems better suited for a Lifetime release than in actual theaters, right? It would have been more interesting if the script wasn’t entirely Gotti approved, but now it’s pretty obvious that the whole family story will be completely whitewashed and ultimately uninteresting too.

Elin Nordegren is back to dating, and she still “hates” Tiger Woods

Posted: 05 May 2011 06:50 AM PDT

fp_4166072_stla_nordegren_elin_04_27

This is a good indicator of how slow the gossip world is today - Us Weekly's big scoop of the week is that Elin Nordegren, the ex-wife of Tiger Woods, is back in the dating game. Elin had been extraordinarily low-key in the aftermath of Tiger's… uh… Mistress Explosion. As far as I can remember, Elin only gave that one interview to People Magazine, and beyond that she kept quiet and stayed out of the spotlight as she filed for divorce and allowed her estranged husband to self-destruct publicly. So, now she's back into the dating game, and it looks like no celebrities are allowed.

Elin Nordegren is back in the game! Eight months after divorcing pro golfer Tiger Woods, the Swedish model, 31, is on a mission for a new man, a source tells Us Weekly.

“She was seeing a banker in Florida for three months, but that went nowhere,” continues the insider.

As for her relationship with her 35-year-old ex (father to her children, Sam, 3, and Charlie, 2), “the only interaction they have is when she drops the kids off,” adds the source.

“That’s it. She hates him. She doesn’t see him or speak with him. And they have their custody schedule already set through the end of the year.”

And finding a boyfriend isn’t Nordegren’s only project. After purchasing a $12.2 million beachfront mansion in North Palm Beach, Fla., in March, the Rollins College psychology student “is knocking it down and rebuilding on the lot,” says the source, adding that she’s renting a place nearby.

“She’s doing really well.”

[From Us Weekly]

I forget how much Elin's rumored divorce settlement actually ended up being, but I believe it was in the mid-to-high eight figures, and that kind of money can buy you a lot of happiness. Seriously, if you were Elin, why even have a moment of self-doubt? Tiger didn't cheat on her because she wasn't pretty or nice or that her body wasn’t awesome (all of the crap we tell ourselves when a dude cheats). Tiger cheated on her because he's a douche. I hope Elin continues to keep everything low-key, and I hope she finds someone nice who appreciates her. Like a lawyer, or somebody normal.

Sidenote: I wonder if she gets freaked out if a "normal" guy likes to golf as a hobby, though. Wouldn't you? If your ex was one of the best golfers in the world, and now your date wants to talk about his handicap? Yeah. That would be sketchy.

Why does Bristol Palin’s face look so different?

Posted: 05 May 2011 05:51 AM PDT

day to prevent 060510
Bristol Palin told People Magazine last July, back before she went on Dancing With The Stars, that she was working as a receptionist at a dermatologist’s office in Alaska. (I said at the time that it was probably the same dermatologist who did her mom’s Botox.) Last fall, Levi Johnston’s sister accused Bristol of getting a breast reduction and liposuction in an effort to look “Hollywood.” It kind of made sense in light of the fact that she was working at a dermatologist’s at the time. It was hard to tell if she had anything done, but all that has changed.

Bristol, 20, showed up at a Candies benefit on Tuesday with a whole new face. She lost weight and she looks great, but the changes in her face look like more than just weight loss and overplucked eyebrows. Check out these before an after pictures.

As Maureen O’Connor at Gawker points out, she looks like a different person. One of their commenters offered up a photo of Bristol in 2009 when she was thinner, and it’s clear that the differences in her face are not from weight loss alone. Wasn’t she so pretty?
candies meeting 060509

And here’s a photo of Bristol from February of this year. It’s just a screenshot of her on E!, but it shows how she looked after she lost weight.
bristol1

Other commenters on Gawker speculate that the new look is the result of “Weight loss, lipo around the neck and lower face, chin implant, lip filler” and/or an “eye lift”. Commenter Francesletigre notes that Bristol could have had “buchal fat pad removal. We have these grape to worm size pieces of fat in our faces that can easily be sucked out through the mouth. This is the very hot, yet secret procedure to show your cheek bones and thin your face 5-10 pounds.” I would say it sounds great in theory, but I’m seeing the results and they look pretty plastic.

Let’s point this out again - Bristol is just 20 years old! Doesn’t she look like a 30 something who had a little too much done in an effort to look “fresh”?

Princesses Beatrice & Eugenie’s hatmaker defends his fug creations

Posted: 05 May 2011 05:49 AM PDT

fp_7234193_ang_will_harry_kate_way_20_34

As we discovered, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice were both royal hot messes at the wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William (their first cousin). I suspect that fug fashion sense is in their blood - after all, Fergie is their mother, and she has never been known for her righteous styling. Eugenie and Beatrice's fug seemed a little "extra" though, especially when you took into account their enormous hats/headpieces/fascinators. Beatrice's headpiece was especially epic and Lady Gaga-esque. Anyway, their hat designer, Philip Treacy, has given an interview to Hollywood Life where he defends his creations and the two princesses, and basically boils it down to "haters gonna hate, royal style."

Immediately following the Royal Wedding on April 29, Facebook and Twitter filled with ridicule for Princesses Beatrice, 22, & Eugenie, 21, "ridiculous" hats. But HollywoodLife.com spoke with Philip Treacy, the man behind the royal creations, at the premiere of L'Amour Fou in NYC on May 1 and revealed what he had in mind when designing the colorful and feathery toppers for the daughters of Prince Andrew Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York.

"My inspiration was beauty and elegance it's a 21st century royal wedding," Philip told us at the screening hosted by designer Vera Wang. "No, they didn't tell me [what they wanted] because I've known them for a long time and I wanted them to look gorgeous and beautiful. They trusted me to make them. Gorgeous and beautiful can be open to interpretation … I thought they looked gorgeous and beautiful. But no one is crying if anyone didn't."

Beatrice's intricate bow-like hat, matched her taupe Valentino Haute Couture dress. While her older sister's royal blue fashion statement sat perched on her head complete with purple flowers and large white feathers.

"How a hat makes you feel is what a hat is all about," Philip says. "It's about making you feel a million dollars so when you've got something beautiful on your head and the head is the most important part of the body to embellish, because it's what you meet. When you're wearing something on your head you feel beautiful."

[From Hollywood Life]

So friggin' English. "I thought they looked gorgeous and beautiful. But no one is crying if anyone didn't." He can't just say, "Some people didn't like the hats, but I loved what I created." Of course not. He has to talk down to all of us peasants who simply didn't "get" the genius of the hats. "No one is crying" if we didn't "get" it. Pish posh. Crumpets. Sniff.

Jame Middleton: the forgotten, ridiculous Middleton sibling

Posted: 05 May 2011 05:42 AM PDT

wenn3317523

At this point, everybody involved with the Middleton family is now completely famous. Kate's sister Pippa has had her cute booty flashed all over the internet, and now it's The Forgotten Middleton's turn. The Forgotten Middleton is James Middleton, the youngest Middleton sibling. He's 23 years old, and you may remember his halting, askew-tie'd performance at the wedding:

Yeah, his accent is lovely, but he seems a bit "off". Also, he makes cakes. That's his job. Cake-maker. He actually formulates cake mixes to sell in conjunction with his parents' Party Pieces company, but he makes little cakes all by himself too.

Anyway, I've always kind of thought James was probably the Middleton sibling who was least interested in leveraging any kind of royal connection. He seems a bit rowdy, a bit fun, a bit of a drunken hooligan. The tabloids got photos of him drunkenly taking a piss outside of a pub once. That was one of his big scandals, along with some hilarious photos taken several years ago, photos that made the rounds in Britain and have now washed up on our shores, like a shiny, new, naked penny. You can see the NSFW photos here at Fleshbot - BEWARE, that site is extremely NSFW!! It's worth having a glance through the photos, though. Especially the one where's blow-drying his dong. Oh, and the one where he's wearing a French maid's uniform. And the one where he's sitting naked by a fireplace in the middle of the day. Hell, all of them are worth it.

So, all of the photos have re-emerged, and now Us Weekly has an official story about it:

Queen Elizabeth would not approve! James Middleton, Duchess Catherine’s handsome younger brother who read from the Bible at her Friday wedding to Prince William in Westminster Abbey, has a scandal on his hands — and other places too.

Semi-nude pics of James, 23, have resurfaced online following his sister’s historic nuptials. A slew of candid snapshots, reportedly taken some time ago, show James joking around with pals: revealing his bare torso and reaching into his boxer shorts; showing off his bare backside; sitting nude and cross-legged, covering up his genitals; wearing a French maid’s uniform, and simulating gay sex with a buddy.

The semi-nude and maid pics of James made headlines in the British press before, and James has often called himself the “wild child” sibling of Catherine, 29, and Pippa, 27.

“James is just a typical lad who likes to mess around with his friends and do silly things for laughs,” a source explains to Us Weekly. “These photos were not for the public, they were on his private Facebook profile and someone managed to get in and take them. He’d rather they weren’t out there.”

Plus, the insider points out, “most of the photos were from his first year at university. Just a teenager. You know how it gets, a lot of silly parties and a lot of alcohol. He’s grown up a lot since then and would never behave like this now. He’s a good guy. Party days are well behind him.”

Indeed, although James dropped out of university after one year at age 20, he’s certainly no gaddabout: He’s now a successful entrepreneur who runs his own upscale bakery, the Cake Kit Company, which provided customized treats for the guests at Catherine and William’s evening wedding reception at Buckingham Palace.

[From Us Weekly]

Yeah, my first reaction seeing the photos was the sudden realization that there are very similar photos of me floating around out there, doing similarly stupid, drunken crap in my college years. Did I ever get photographed blow-drying my biscuits? No. But I was photographed performing fake-fellatio on a pepper mill. And various male friends. I think there's even video of me doing vodka shots and talking smack about Jean-Paul Sartre. For real, it got wild!

But do these photos really rise to some kind of Royal Scandal DefCon 5 situation? Meh. After all, there are now just-released photos of Pippa dancing around drunkenly in her bra too (see it here at People Mag). Here's the universal truth: drunk kids get photographed doing dumb stuff in college (and beyond).

Oh, and what are the thoughts about James Middleton being gay…? He kind of beeps on my gaydar, but English boys are so difficult to read. It's the accent. And the fact that his dong needs a blow-out.

Is Olivia Munn having “secret hookups” with Jamie Foxx?

Posted: 05 May 2011 05:39 AM PDT

wenn3303117

This week's Star Magazine is trying to make something happen between Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx and talentless, unfunny Olivia Munn. According to Star (via Jezebel), Jamie and Olivia are having "secret hookups" because they have some kind of "low-key, on-again, off-again connection.” Now, Jamie and Olivia have been rumored to have something going on for a few months - apparently, they were all over each other at the Oscars, and Bossip reported that Jamie and Olivia were snuggled up together at this year's Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar party.

But is it true? Meh. Jamie has been dating Stacey Dash for a while, it seems (maybe, although I can’t find much about them recently), and Dash was his date for the Oscars this year (I think?). When Jamie's boys started hassling him about Olivia on his radio show, Jamie shut it down (kind of)… there’s some minor NSFW language here:

He claims that he doesn't "date" white women. But does he bone them? That's the question. My verdict: Although I wouldn't put it past Jamie to screw around on Stacey Dash (who is gorgeous), I don't think he would do anything other than FLIRT with Olivia Munn. Munn, after all, is like the budget Blake Lively at this point - desperate for a high-profile celebrity boyfriend. Munn even tried to make a romance with Matthew Morrison happen, for goodness sake. And right after meeting Jamie at the Oscars, she was trying to make some kind of cuddelfesting with Jake Gyllenhaal happen. Poor Olivia. Slim pickings, girl.
