Celebs’ New Gigs—-Anne’s an Ambassador and Suri’s a Polar Bear?

Frankly, I am surprised that it took so long for a cosmetics company to hire Anne Hathaway. Even before she made a name for herself in “The Devil Wears Prada” I always thought she had one of the most beautiful faces in Hollywood. Her skin is flawless (at least it appears to be in the shots I’ve seen) and her smile is infectious. She just has a fresh look about her. Now it appears execs at Lancome are giving the actress the recognition she deserves. Following in the footsteps of the company’s past famous faces, Kate Winslet and Clive Owen, … Continue reading →

More Fallout from the Jennifer Love Hewitt Bikini Photos

Much has been made of Jennifer Love Hewitt’s now-famous bikini pics; more specifically about the harsh comments made about the size of the actress’s butt. The critical comments targeted at Hewitt and the discussions raised about a celebrity culture obsessed with weight inspired a number of entertainment magazines to splash Hewitt’s unflattering photos on the cover of their publications. For example, PEOPLE Magazine claims they “got the story behind Hewitt’s experience,” (pun intended I’m sure) after she was widely ridiculed over the infamous photographs taken of her in a bikini during a recent Hawaiian vacation. The magazine makes it appear … Continue reading →

“Sopranos” Star Speaks Out About Eating Disorder

In the wake of the Jennifer Love Hewitt body-issue controversy actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler is speaking out about the “private hell” she encountered while trying to live up to Hollywood’s beauty standards. The former “Sopranos” star says for years she refused to publicly discuss the experiences she went through as she coped with a devastating eating disorder because as she tells it she was a “different person.” “It’s hard for me to even recognize who I was,” the 26-year-old actress told reporters after reading about Hewitt’s bikini picture ordeal. “My reality was so warped. … I knew I had a problem … Continue reading →

Why I Feel Sorry for Jennifer Love Hewitt

Here’s why: Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt should be enjoying one of the most momentous occasions of her life, but instead she’s being forced to defend the size of her butt. It’s no joke. The 28-year-old actress just got engaged to her Scottish actor boyfriend Ross McCall (he costarred in the 2001 HBO miniseries Band of Brothers). But, rather than sit back and admire her antique engagement ring, which has been in Ross’ family for more than 100 years, “The Ghost Whisper” star has turned to the Internet to discuss some unflattering pictures taken of her by paparazzi while on a … Continue reading →

Julia Roberts vs. the Paparazzi

In a rare turn of events actress Julia Roberts is making headlines for pursuing photographers instead of the other way around. In video that is making the rounds on the Internet, the Oscar winner is shown wildly tailing two videographers in her Mercedes SUV, flagging them down and basically trying to run them off the road in an effort to give them a piece of her mind. The footage was captured by freelance videographers for a celebrity news agency and broadcast on the Internet and on TV’s “Inside Edition.” It shows an irate Roberts driving her Mercedes behind a car … Continue reading →

Jodie Foster to Receive the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award

She has two Oscars (for The Accused and Silence of the Lambs), two BAFTA awards (the British version of the Oscars), two Golden Globe awards, a People’s Choice award, a Screen Actor’s Guild award, a Hollywood Film Festival award, an Independent Spirit Award, an European Film Award, a Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, and I know there are some I left out. Let’s just say that Jodie Foster’s award shelf deservedly floweth over. But, she will have to clear out a place for her newest award – the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award. The 45-year-old actress will receive the honor … Continue reading →

Celebrity Good News/Bad News: Winona Ryder and Wayne Newton

Die-hard Trekkies have yet another hint of what’s to come in the upcoming “Star Trek” film. According to “Variety,” Winona Ryder has just signed on to play the Vulcan mother of young Spock in the highly anticipated movie being directed by J.J. Abrams. The actress will reportedly squeeze her “Star Trek” scenes in between shooting another movie “Private Lives of Pippa Lee” and promoting her recently completed role in “The Informers.” If you haven’t been keeping up with my blogs then you might not know that the latest “Star Trek” movie takes place during the crew’s early days at the … Continue reading →

Pizza Hut’s Youngest and Most Famous Delivery Person… Maybe

How ironic is it that when multi-millionaire dollar celebrities provide unsolicited praise for a certain product (e.g. Rosie O’Donnell was never shy about expressing her love for Altoids) the company rewards him or her with a lifetime supply of that particular item? Ironic, because said star could easily afford to buy the lifetime supply on his own. And there’s no way you can rationalize that a 15-second unsolicited endorsement is equivalent to a gift whose retail value is in the tens of thousands of dollars. Well, it just happened again. Having a famous mom with a big mouth sure can … Continue reading →

Katie’s Marathon Controversy

Where there are celebrities there is controversy. And she thought she was just taking a jog around Central Park. Less than a week after actress Katie Holmes trudged 26.2 miles in the New York City Marathon her accomplishment is being tarnished by a wave of angry runners who were not allowed to compete in the prestigious running event. Tens of thousands of avid runners sent angry correspondences to race officials asking why Suri’s mom was admitted to the race when 60,000 hopefuls were denied. According to TV’s Access Hollywood Tom Cruise’s better half was allowed to run as a VIP. … Continue reading →

Why Rosie Won’t Be Taking On Larry King

Isn’t it ironic? For months the peacock network has been courting Rosie O’Donnell for a possible primetime talk show to air on MSNBC. Then, less than a day after the acerbic comedian blabbed to the media about the pending deal, NBC pulled the plug on its offer. O’Donnell was spurned for speaking out of turn, but later laughed off the incident when speaking about NBC’s decision on her website. “Listen, I’m too old!” O’Donnell said with a chuckle. “When you’re young, you do those things. ‘Yes, I won’t tell anyone! Lock me in the NBC vault!’ ” So, here’s the … Continue reading →
