JLo and Skeletor? What the Goddamnhell are you WEARING?


OhdearLord. What??

Well, well, well. What do we have here?  

I think you all know I loathe the little rat-faced Skeletor man. Marc Anthony is the short-man's complex personified. I don't think I've ever been privy to one photo where he isn't latched onto that wife of his as if she's being held hostage. Similar to Stockholm Syndrome...Skeletor Syndrome, is when you force your wife to put her bright and shining (hey, I'm being nice!)  career behind her (that's a tough one, heh), quit with the "self-empowering" crap, and publicly kneel down before his boney ass. AND he raids your scarf drawer. Unacceptable.


JENNIFER!! Look at how you're dressed! Diddy never woulda let you outa the mansion looking like one of Jack Skellington's overstuffed minions. Wait.  Skellington. Skeletor. 

Oh, My. God.

Nicole Kidman Goes Before Congress to Stop Violence Against Women


Wait. WHO is that? Kylie Minogue?
Oh.
 
Yeah. This is the same woman
from the photo above.
Apparently, it's Nicole Kidman.


Good for Nic (as her ex-husband Patrick Bateman StupidTomCruise used to call her, for speaking out against violence against women. I appreciate her speaking up about Hollywood and the constant exploitation of women in film and in the "real world:. Certain women *COUGHmeganfoxCOUGH* will continue their vapid careers by portraying dumb bitches, but at lease Nicole is taking a stand.

"SHE has made millions and garnered worldwide fame from the movie business - but Australian star Nicole Kidman believes Hollywood contributes to the exploitation of women.

Appearing before a US Congressional hearing on sweeping new laws to tackle violence against women, Kidman said she regularly rejected roles that she felt portrayed women in a negative way.

"If I feel that it's exploitative to women then I'll pass," said Kidman, whose career features strong female roles in such films as Australia, Moulin Rouge and her Oscar-winning performance in The Hours.

"I can't be responsible for the whole of Hollywood but I can be responsible for my own career."

Asked if Hollywood had contributed to exploitation of women, Kidman agreed it "probably" had. "You can always cite certain films but, as an individual, I don't want to participate in that," she told the hearing at the Capitol in Washington.

...Kidman urged swifter action and said about one third of all women would be abused at some point in their lives.

"Violence against women is not prosecuted because it is not a priority," she said.

"We can change this by leadership, wise investments and building local partnerships."

Awesome.

May I change the subject for a moment? How about a discussion regarding the body/facial dismorphia Nicole seems to be struggling with  Nic just turned 42. I wonder how many "procedures" our gal has had? Wow. She's un-bloody-recognizeable in the top photo. What exactly was wrong with her face that she felt the need to plump and paralyze it so drastically?


Thoughts? Or is it just me? 

Oh, and FYI. I got a bit of Botox today. I'll discuss that very soon...pictures and all.

Law and Order - Special Letters Unit - Sesame Street

OhmyGOODNESS. I'm watching Sesame Street with my meatpie, Felix...and all of a sudden, I hear the CHUNG CHUNG noise from Law and Order.

Would you LOOK at how much the Muppets look like Munch and Stabler from Law and Order SVU!!?
 





I guess you know what I'm doing today!

Happy Birthday, Jeff Goldblum!!


Oh. Jeff--where are those fabulous teeth?
 
Awwww, yes. There they are.

Jeff Goldblum is sex on a stick--a disco stick, if you will. (Thanks, Lady Gaga, for that.) I've had a crush on Jeff since, what? 1980? He's offbeat gorgeous. So tall--6'4" (!), and graceful physique, and strong and distinguised nose and devilish eyes.

I'm the first to say Johnny Depp was fantastic in Sleepy Hollow, but the BEST Ichabod Crane of all time was Jeff in an NBC made-for-TV movie made in 1981. If you ever get a chance to put that in your queue, do it. You'll love it.

Happy Birthday, Jeff, you handsome devil, you!
 

Today's Blind Item - Conflict of Interest Edition


All she needs is a mole above her mouth?

"WHICH still gorgeous ex-supermodel doesn't use her own skin-care line, which she hawks on TV? She secretly uses Somme Institute's MDT5 regimen instead ."

This one's rather obvious to me. She's one of the ORIGINAL late 80s, early 90s Supermodels.

And now, I just want to research Somme Institute's MDT5. Don't you?

Today's Blind Item - Talk Show Trouble at Home Edition



"Which talk show host is having personal problems that are spilling onto the set? A standoff with their significant other is in the works, and it really seems to be distracting the star. Plus there are always the usual production issues, guests, ratings, and advertisers to worry about. They just have way too much on their plate right now.

They are only getting about four hours of sleep a night, and are so wired from the day that they have to take a sleeping pills every night to even fall asleep, and something else in the morning to get them moving. Our star has even occasionally fallen asleep during staff meetings which they are supposed to be leading.

While some shows have stars or hosts whom can be easily substitute, that's not this case. This star is going to have to get their act together, kick the pills, and delegate some of the responsibilities before they wind up in a hospital or off the air."

Three choices: David Letterman (sadface!); Ellen; or Jimmy Kimmel. I really don't want it to be Dave or Ellen...or even Jimmy. This is sad.

Christian Bale: "American Psycho's Patrick Bateman is based on Tom Cruise"!!


 Naked With a Chainsaw, Patrick Bateman

 
Tom Cruise, returning some videotapes


Hang on a sec...I'm still belly laughing. Can't. Stop. Laughing...

Okay. Talk about good timing. Since American Psycho was my Recommened Movie of the Weekend a few days ago, I'm REALLY loving this quote from director Mary Harron:


via BlackBook Magazine:


"Mary Harron, the director of American Psycho, told BlackBook Magazine about how she developed the character of Patrick Bateman with Christian Bale,

"It was definitely a process. We talked a lot, but he was in L.A. and I was in New York. We didn’t actually meet in person a lot, just talked on the phone. We talked about how Martian-like Patrick Bateman was, how he was looking at the world like somebody from another planet, watching what people did and trying to work out the right way to behave. And then one day he called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy." 

I'm just hugging myself right now. But wait. It gets even better. Remember Bronson Pinchot? Balki from Perfect Strangers? He had some hilarious shit to say about Cruisey (and some other celebrities--Bette Midler, Eddie Murphy--but right now we're talking smack about Xenu-Boy, mmkay?).


'member Balki??
I love him now.

 

Bronson said, "We thought Tom [Cruise] was the biggest bore on the face of the Earth. He was tense and made constant, constant unrelated homophobic comments, like, 'You want some ice cream, in case there are no gay people there?' I mean, his lingo was larded with the most… There was no basis for it. It was like, 'It’s a nice day, I’m glad there are no gay people standing here.' 

Very, very strange. Years and years later when people started to torment him with that, I used to think 'God, that’s really fitting, because he tormented a lot of people as a 20-year-old.' He made such a big deal about it."


WHAT the goddamnhell does "'You want some ice cream, in case there are no gay people there?' even mean??

Now, Bronson was in one of my other favorite Recommended Movie of the Weekend, True Romance. so he's known for more than just being Balki. Here's what I LOVE about this whole thing: Someone has the guts to tell it like it is, rather than cowering in fear.

Bronson? I salute you!!
