| Snap This: The ‘Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ Poster Is Way Hot Posted: 02 Jun 2011 11:28 AM PDT Damn, Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig are looking all kinds of sexy in their poster for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. And any lingering doubt over whether Rooney can pull off Lisbeth Salander’s look is officially erased. Two thumbs up!

| Girl Crushable: Countess LuAnn from ‘Real Housewives of New York’ Posted: 02 Jun 2011 11:15 AM PDT
But as the interesting ones leave (Bethenny Frankel) and others become hideously manipulative shrews (Ramona Singer), I have newfound respect for LuAnn. She’s straightforward and matter-of-fact when laying out her issues with the other ladies; in every (inevitable) argument she has with another cast member, she has always remained composed and never thrown a tantrum. Unlike Alex McCord, who’s made a huge deal this season about finally feeling free to speak her mind, LuAnn gradually developed her own snarkiness and now gracefully lobs smirking asides without causing World War III. And of course, she was the first New York cast member to put herself out there with this ridiculously campy music video: LuAnn is not exempt from the show’s antics: Her bitchiness comes from lecturing the other women on how they’ve misstepped, and several confrontations have come out of her sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong. But unlike the others, she sees things in perspective. She wants to enjoy the good life and swat away anyone who’s messing up her nice time. While not for a minute do I believe that it was actually LuAnn’s idea for the ladies to vacation to Morocco, I admire the way she tries to manage the other Housewives during the trip. Ramona and Sonja Morgan especially liked to gallivant around drunk and inappropriately dressed, demanding Pinot Grigio and unwilling to conform to other standards of the country in which they’re staying. In stark contrast to that twosome, LuAnn showed genuine interest in Moroccan culture. Her Arabic may have been shitty, but at least she tried to speak it. In tonight’s episode (part 2 of 3), it’s camel-riding time: As cute as the above is, you can bet that there will be an emotional showdown — probably the Ramona/Jill Zarin fight teased last week — and I’ll be interested to see how LuAnn steps in.

| Barbara Walters Isn’t Buying Paris Hilton’s Reformed Act, and Neither Am I Posted: 02 Jun 2011 10:27 AM PDT
In an interview with Piers Morgan on CNN, Paris started crying when she talked about her sex tape with ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon and said that it hurt her to think she’d have to explain it to her kids someday. She had her mother by her side to comfort her during the interview. However, there’s one person who isn’t buying Paris’ new image, and that’s Barbara Walters. This morning on The View, Barbara took Paris to task for not following through on her court-ordered community service. Paris – and, of course, her mom – tried to say that Paris’ comments where she complained about having to go to work were “played up” for the cameras. “Why not present that side,” said Barbara (after Paris protested that she was very involved in giving back to the community and helping others, “If it exists?” Word, Barbara. Paris can protest all she wants that deep down she’s a good person, but until her actions indicate otherwise there’s no reason to believe her. Sure, she can say she’s “joking” or trying to be funny and entertaining for her new show, but all her statements just come across as disingenuous. If she really has to be forcefully pulled out of bed by her assistant on days when she has to do community service, that speaks a million times louder than any publicist-penned statement about how much she wants to help people. And Kathy Hilton should be ashamed of herself. There’s certainly nothing wrong with loving your daughter, but Kathy has reached enabler status when it comes to Paris and her missteps. Paris is dragging her mom on interviews in order to make herself look warm, loving, and family-oriented, and it smacks of a setup. I’m not buying what Paris is selling, and no one else should either.

| Why Is the Media Making Patty Baena the Bad Guy of the Arnold Schwarzenegger Scandal? Posted: 02 Jun 2011 11:11 AM PDT
Since the story broke, Patty has claimed betrayal from members of her family who have shown few reservations about talking to the press. Her ex-husband, Rogelio Baena, was reportedly paid six figures to appear on Entertainment Tonight and, essentially, lie. He claims he had no knowledge that Patty’s son wasn’t his own, biologically, despite the fact that in his and Patty’s divorce papers — which were filed soon after Patty gave birth — the two claimed to have no children together. Now Patty’s suing ET, citing defamation. A Forbes blog had this to say about the situation:
What does the writer, Kiri Blakeley, mean when she says Patty was “treated like a member of the family”? Well, she’s appeared in photographs with the Schwarzeneggers, and once Arnold paid for a quinceanera party for her niece. More to the point is the house Patty lives in, the down payment for which was paid for by Arnold. TMZ implied that the home, which has “four bedrooms and a pool,” indicates that Patty’s living the high life on Arnold’s dime. In reality, Arnold Schwarzenegger paid a $65,000 down payment, which covered a quarter of the home’s price, and left Patty to handle the mortgage. Prior to this, Patty and her family were living in a modest apartment. The house she currently owns is in Bakersfield, CA — an economically stunted desert area two hours outside of Los Angeles. Bakersfield is consistently ranked as one of the least educated regions in the country, with 18% of residents living below the poverty line. To imply that Patty's living in the lap of luxury with uninhibited access to a sugar daddy’s checkbook is an offensive and insulting exaggeration. Despite what the media may want, this isn’t a, intriguing story about sex and power. This is a story about a Guatemalan housekeeper with a family to raise who became pregnant by her absurdly wealthy and powerful boss. Do we think Arnold was showering his "mistress" with gifts and whisking her off on exotic rendezvous? No, he was having sex with her in his home while his wife was out and then sending her off to clean his toilet, essentially.

| Balloon Boy’s Flying Saucer for Sale Posted: 02 Jun 2011 09:22 AM PDT
Heene is pushing the flying saucer as an experimental vehicle that allows people to travel about 50-100 feet off the ground, at 35 mph. With the voltage that powers the aircraft, you’d basically be a low-hanging cloud. This seems more than a bit fame-whorey, but if they could find someone willing to purchase this strange piece of paraphernalia, of course the money would be extremely helpful. It’s unclear if Heene’s wife Mayumi could be behind the auction, as she is Japanese but didn’t mention having a specific personal connection to the tsunami disaster. Oh, and stick around for the end of the video, where the Heene kids sing a Japanese song that’s probably meant to make them seem sympathetic, but just sounds offensive. (“It’s raining, it’s raining, that’s my mom picking me up with her umbrella…”) Post from: Crushable Balloon Boy’s Flying Saucer for Sale  |
| Snap This: Entertainment Weekly Burns James Middleton Posted: 02 Jun 2011 09:33 AM PDT It’ll take more than a crop of nude photos to keep James Middleton in the news. According to Entertainment Weekly’s Shaw Report, which rates the week’s hot news and what trends or celebrities are already stale, the youngest Middleton kid (he’s only 23) doesn’t even warrant a mention by name. Maybe since he’s the sole male child, or because the cake-making entrepreneur already had his moment in the sun. Post from: Crushable Snap This: Entertainment Weekly Burns James Middleton  |
| Corey Simms Is Looking for a Girlfriend On Twitter Posted: 02 Jun 2011 07:49 AM PDT
Although Corey was previously linked to Jordan Humble and Amber Scaggs, he is apparently still on the market. He reportedly met both Jordan and Amber via Facebook, where he responded to their fan messages. So it makes sense that Corey would expand his booty-hunting to another form of social media. When a fan replied to Corey and asked why he was looking for a girlfriend if he was with Amber, Corey replied, “im dateing her but things are not workin out between me and amber i want a girl that will love and spoil me not me spoil her all the time.” Classy! I hope Amber knows that she and Corey are on the outs, because it would really suck to find out on the internet. While Corey is technically single right now (he and Leah are legally separated), I still think it’s way gross to pick up chicks via your Twitter account. What happened to you, Corey? You were so adorable on Teen Mom 2, with your constant tears and your love for your kids and that adorable wedding. I know I shouldn’t be surprised that the TV lied to me, but you really did seem like you were better than that. Post from: Crushable Corey Simms Is Looking for a Girlfriend On Twitter  |
| Video: Shia LaBeouf Directs Kid Cudi’s ‘Marijuana’ Posted: 02 Jun 2011 08:31 AM PDT KID CUDI – MARIJUANA from Grassy Slope on Vimeo. Shia LaBeouf put on his director’s hat (it’s a fedora) to make a video for Kid Cudi’s song “Marijuana.” It’s a pretty student filmy effort — Shia follows Kid Cudi around Amsterdam with a super 8 camera (or is that a post-production filter?), where the artist mostly just hangs out and smokes weed. Good song, though. Post from: Crushable Video: Shia LaBeouf Directs Kid Cudi’s ‘Marijuana’  |

I did not see this coming. When I started watching The Real Housewives of New York in 2009, LuAnn de Lesseps was one of my least favorite because of her insistence that people refer to her as “Countess” and her judgment of others’ social faux pas. Despite being season 1′s token sexy divorcee, she was a drag.
Paris Hilton has a new reality show coming out, and she’s doing pre-premiere interviews to try and rehabilitate her image. The show, The World According to Paris, airs on the Oxygen network and purports to show a kinder, gentler side of Ms. Hilton even though 
It's been weeks since the Arnold Schwarzenegger "lovechild" scandal broke, and the media has settled on a pretty clear narrative for the story's main characters. Maria Shriver is being presented as the tragic and long-suffering scorned wife, Arnold's the powerful horndog who nevertheless deserves praise for his generosity towards his illegitimate son’s family, and Mildred "Patty" Baena, the Guatemalan housekeeper who bore Arnold's child, is being almost universally defamed for her sexuality and dishonesty.
Internet celebrities — who knew they had a heart? Richard Heene, who became a meme when he claimed his son was stuck in the family’s 20-foot balloon in 2009 (but had planned the hoax to get a reality show), is selling off the famous inflatable. But in a video promoting the auction, Heene claims that all the proceeds will go to a charity to help Japan.
