"The Loyal Customer" clue 1

http://www.laineygossip.com/Charlize-Theron-is-a-bitch-in-Toronto/7456

Festival Douche

Almost everyone is on their best behaviour at a film festival. Not only because the international media lurks around every corner but also because one of the main objectives at a film festival, especially for smaller budget projects, is to buy and sell.

Such is the case for Battle in Seattle, Stuart Townsend’s directorial debut – the passion project on which he has toiled for 5 years.

Stuart is gorgeous. Unbelievably sexy. With terrific style. And sooooo nice. SO nice. The movie was screened on Saturday and was apparently well received which is why Stuart was so chuffed when he arrived at the Battle in Seattle afterparty that afternoon.

After so long, after the blood, sweat, and tears, it must have been an extremely validating moment. And he was happy to share it. He was wearing a black suit, perfectly tailored, short hair, beautiful eyes, and told me he couldn’t wait to finally have a drink to chill out and enjoy the moment. Smiling from ear to ear, Stuart also said that he loved working with Charlize, joked that he did take perverse pleasure out of bossing her around for the duration of the shoot.

I adored him. He is delightful. Which is why it is such a mystery why he’s been with someone so miserable and so full of her own sh-t for so long. I don’t get it.

Charlize came to “support” Stuart. She was in Toronto for 2 days and left back to NYC to resume shooting with Will Smith. Here they are on the set of John Hancock yesterday. On Saturday she attended the George Christie lunch, walked down the red carpet flanked by 4 massive bodyguards shielding her body from photographers refusing to stop.

Let me repeat.

There was a red carpet. The carpet was there so event organisers could invite press. She walked the red carpet. She did not go in the back door, she did not slip in through the kitchen. She chose to walk the carpet. And she chose to make a huge f*cking production out of not wanting to be photographed.

Everywhere she went she refused to be photographed. And she refused to talk on the carpets as well, refused interviews, even at the premiere and especially not at the after party. Word is she is fiercely guarded by a publicist, and even when a festival staffer approaches her to verify something, even when another publicist at an event comes over to ask after her, Charlize will supposedly stare at the person, look blankly ahead, and wait for her personal publicist to answer.

So why come, bitch? Why show up at all? Who is good enough to talk to you???

The point of showing it here in Toronto was to generate buzz for her boyfriend’s movie. And as much as I love Stuart, his name alone is not going to carry the sale. Right now, they’re looking for a US distributor. And attaching that sales pitch to an Oscar winner is the way the game works.

If you want to sell, you get out there and you pound it. You drive it home. You do what Matt Damon does and what George Clooney does and you shake every hand and smile for every photo, preferably with the movie’s poster in the background.

If this movie is what Stuart said it was – a project he was devoted to for half a decade, a movie about corporate greed, a movie intended to promote discussion and raise awareness – you get out there and you work it even harder than you would a blockbuster. You work it for HIM. You do what you can to make sure his efforts can be shared with as many people as possible.

But Charlize Theron is above that. Charlize is so special she can sell without talking, Charlize doesn’t need to make the effort. The same Charlize whose big break came in the illustrious Two Days in the Valley, showing off every inch of her beautiful body and her lovely tits, remember that? But one Oscar changes everyone, doesn’t it?

Seriously bitch… who do you think you are? Even George Clooney has to make the effort.

I’m telling you – Charlize Theron is a cow. She thinks she’s an “artist” but she’s a cow. A gorgeous, gorgeous cow but a cow nonetheless.

Douche. If she won"t promote it, maybe we should?

"Boy Crazy" clue 1

http://www.laineygossip.com/Cameron_Diaz_Jessica_Biel_Cam_Diaz_Hermy_AND_Desperate_.aspx


Cam Diaz: Hermy AND Desperate?

Girl needs to learn how to get over a break up because I can smell her desperation from over here.

Flirting with Leo? Good. Stalking JT and losing her sh-t on Jessica Biel? Not just not good...it"s f&cking pathetic.

Apparently Cam saw Pip chatting up Jessica at one of the parties and in a jealous, insecure rage proceeded to tear a strip off of her ridiculously perky ass which is consistent with Us Weekly"s report last week about Cam"s possessive behaviour throughout their relationship, going so far as to cockblock a few eager ladies last year who wanted to approach Justin at a club.

Her message?

Something to the effect of: To get to him, you go through me.

Damn...Bitch has the guarding instinct of a Rottweiler.

SO not attractive. But actually rather ballsy...in more ways than one, and encouraging too! Because even though her Hermy"s been hiding, it"s really great to see that the Hermy"s come back - in the form of possessive "Roid Rage, not unlike a beer chugging boyfriend with a pick up who won"t let his girl so much as look at another dude without popping a vein.

And just think - litle Pip was on the receiving end of this for nearly 3 years ...now does that scream manly man? Does it really?

http://www.laineygossip.com/Cameron_Diaz_flips_out_on_Justin_Timberlake_at_Golden_Globes_over_Jessica_Biel_Best_of_2007.aspx

Great smut but not the best move for Cameron Diaz. At the Golden Globes last January, Pip and Cam had just announced their break up. Both were scheduled to present at the event. And of course Jessica Biel somehow weaseled her way in too. Objective: to snare a Pipsqueak within the tight grip of her Shelf Ass.

Mission successful.

Pip bit. And Cam saw. And instead of playing it chill, Cam lost her sh*t, tearing a strip of the Shelf before launching into a 45 minute tirade in JT’s face at an afterparty. At one point the former Herm was overhead shouting: so what…she’s like your f&cking girlfriend now???

Embarrassingly enough, Cam kept going until Drew Barrymore pulled her away. And to add insult to injury, Cam’s white dress fell flat…

Not exactly her proudest moment. Especially when Us Weekly and every other gossip rag gets hold of it and the story becomes public knowledge. Do you love it?

Thanks to Chelly P for the suggestion!

But seriously… J Biel’s dress for the Globes – does it get any cheaper? Can she be more out of her league???

Photos attached of all 3 at the Globes.

"Ladies' Room Encounter with That Girl" clue 2

http://www.laineygossip.com/Gossip_for_Monday_April_23_2007.aspx

Dear Gossips,

Am officially obsessed with Scarlett Johansson’s breasts. And trust me…she wants it that way.

Saturday night, Saturday Night Live, Scarjo flounces out for the opening monologue and who the hell cares what happened next? Because if you have eyes, you would have fixated solely on her chest. The photos below don’t do them justice. Squeezed in, pushed out, lifted up – girl has a glorious rack. Seriously glorious, perfectly in tune with her body, it sounds pervy but we were mesmerized. And I’d feel even pervier about it if they weren’t so obviously presented – the celebrity version of strategic product placement: a career greatly enhanced by The Boobs. Of course it also doesn’t hurt that Scarlett Johansson is TOTAL gorgessity. The skin, the body, the hair… I would, gossips. I totally would.

Monday – live blogging all day, check back often for fresh posts.

Yours in gossip,
Lainey

Mrs Reynolds and her rack

It’s the first thing you notice, isn’t it?

Boobs.

Scarlett Johansson on the cover and behind the scenes for the new issue of Allure. Sultry, sexpot, sick crazy body, and …

Boobs.

During the interview, Scarjo is asked about Lindsay Lohan and the infamous bathroom wall incident – do you remember?

A couple of years ago Lilo, coked out of her mind, and hanging out with Kate Moss at the time, scrawled “Scarlett is a bloody c—t” at some club. The clever folks at Gawker commemorated the historic event with a photo, ensuring its place in the annals of gossip.

Says Scarlett:
"I really don’t know that person. I only met her, like, three times. I don’t know what the motivation was behind that. I remember it was something really vulgar — I mean, shockingly so, like, 'Whoa, what, who are you?'"

Apparently Lilo beat out Scarjo back in the day for the lead role in The Parent Trap.

And of course Scarjo went on to star in Lost in Translation and has been nominated for 2 Golden Globes. Lilo meanwhile went to rehab 3 times in 2007.

Boobs.

"Two girls, one limo" guess 3

http://www.laineygossip.com/Sienna_Miller_Elton_John_Sean_Diddy_Combs_Sienna_at_Sundance.aspx

Sienna at Sundance


In town to promote the upcoming Interview, constantly attended by Harvey Weinstein who, of course, is here for purchasing purposes (already scooped up John Cusack’s Grace is Good) in addition to making sure his Golden Girl is on her best behaviour, and for the most part, she’s been keeping her ass clean…if not her nose, not that I would know anything about that.

Friday night, at the afterparty for An American Crime, starring Katherine Keener (very well preserved, lovely woman, not to lovely pitbull of a publicist), Canadian Ellen Page (quickly establishing a reputation as one of the most gifted actresses of her generation) and James Franco, Sienna sat in a corner and sulked for the better part of the evening, staring down several attractive women – a blonde television reporter in particular. Literally, she couldn’t take her eyes off of her. Intense glares, so noticeable that a few people actually remarked to the subject of her scrutiny that “Sienna wants to BE you”.

Other than that however, Sienna was rather upbeat all weekend, cruising down Main Street, hitting the swag suites, smiling for cameras. Here she is at the Interview premiere looking fresh and fetching with her closed mouth pout to cover those teeth, trademark crossed leg pose, wrapped in the most beautiful grey coat. Must have it.

Saw her again at the MySpace/Tao event and I have to tell you, as you know I’m not her biggest fan, but Sienna Miller – very, very pretty face. Small and delicate with the most beguiling eyes, her arrival caused the biggest stir, even louder than Diddy’s, and tiny…SO tiny, definitely NOT 5 ft 6 as listed. If anything, she is my height and I know this because I was next to her at one point, wearing flat boots with absolutely no heel and we were eye to eye. For the record, I am 5 ft 3 and ¾ on a tall day.

Still…as I said, Sienna has a lovely face. Haunting and deceptively innocent but not staggeringly beautiful either – the kind of face that breaks your heart and having now seen her, I have to admit…she does have a certain “it”. Just too bad she’s f&cked in the head.

As for Josh Hartnett – he’s here, they were together Sunday, chaperoned at times by Harvey, rumour is they went home together Sunday night.

Will keep you posted…

Sienna Miller: Attention-whore at Burger King


Saw her almost every day at Sundance…weird.

So anyway, we’re leaving, we go through security at Salt Lake Airport, we decide to skip the classy sit-down restaurant and giv’er on some grease at the food court – perfect, there’s a Burger King.

Am with my producer Laura from eTalk and our camera visionary Donovan, we order, we grab a table close to the counter, right by the soda foundations, I’m chowing down on an enormous Double Whopper (flamebroiled HEAVEN), and in walks Sienna Miller with her mother in tow.

Dressed in a white beater tank, hair pulled back, faded grey/black jeans tucked into black suede boots with furry trim, and her face – remember Golden Globe night? When so many of you remarked on the shine and the oil? That’s what she looked like – definitely a far cry from when I saw her on Saturday at her best.

Anyway, they unload at the table closest to us, directly across from Burger King, we are now between her and soda foundations. Her mother gets up to order, she fidgets in her chair, and gets up to tell the clerk that she wants one of those paper Burger King hats – you know the ones? They’re gold, in the shape of a crown, usually passed out to little kids at a birthday party?

Yep – that’s what Sienna asked for, that’s what she put on her head. And her mother too.

So they’re waiting for their food, sitting across from each other, both pull out their cell phones and start yammering away. Mom was discreet, Sienna was loud as f*ck. A pack-a-day voice and every other word is “f&cking”…not because she’s cussin’ someone out, apparently it’s just the way she talks.

“I f*cking emailed you. I really f&cking did. I wanted to know about the f&cking photos (foe-toes)”…and the best part is she can’t stay put when she’s chatty, she has to walk around. So she’s pacing back and forth, between her table and the soda fountain, directly behind us, dragging her feet so that her boots were scraping against the tile (as Donovan noted, she walks like a teenager), yapping incessantly, and at one point she sees Donovan’s video camera, which isn’t hard to miss. It’s one of those over the shoulder ones used for television, he had it in plain view by his feet, and before you ask – it was turned OFF and he made absolutely no motion to use it either. I’m telling you…we weren’t gawking, we didn’t turn around to study her, she was just hard to miss, and when she realised that we were part of a tv crew, she actually became HARDER to miss.

Now remember, this is one of the most photographed women in the world who has had a few run-ins herself with the pappies and has also, on occasion, “complained” about the press intrusion in to her life. Even though we didn’t make a move towards her, even though we kept to ourselves and our burgers, even though no one else at Burger King had recognised her either, even though everyone else went about their business leaving her alone, Sienna goes back to her table and decides to PUT ON HER SUNGLASSES. Because that’s how you blend in to the background, right?

Still…when she did this, we figured it was because she saw the camera and became wary. Fair enough. We made a point of not looking at her, we started chatting about work, and amazingly enough, wouldn’t you know it, the bitch gets up from her chair AGAIN, still yapping at the top of her lungs on her cell phone, and shuffles past us AGAIN over to the soda foundation without pouring any soda.

One lap, two laps, three laps…THREE TIMES she paced by our table, three times for no other reason than to pace, without getting napkins, without getting condiments, Sienna just had to talk on her cell phone full volume, “f*cking this, f&cking that” with us as her audience, to the point where we started laughing incredulously and eventually Laura, my producer, was like – is she serious? No…is she serious? Does she want us to turn the camera on? Is she begging us to turn the camera on?

And then her food came. So she sat down and ate and every few seconds she’d whip her head around and look at us and we’d feel her eyes on us and we’d try not to giggle – the way you tried not to giggle in the cafeteria as teenagers when Mr Burton, the biology teacher, shuffled by and made a lame joke? That’s how we were giggling.

And THAT is Sienna Miller. The loser you’re at once amused by and embarrassed for, desperate for attention, narcissist to the max, extra-obnoxious with all the toppings, and of course we wouldn’t give her the satisfaction. The camera stayed idle, my cell phone stayed put, and then off she went, making a big production of getting their gear together, her mother asking someone else at another table for the time – you’ll note they had their cell phones with them, both of them, and every cell phone has a clock!!! – before stomping off, Sienna continuing to blabber away so that I could hear her half way across the room, dragging her feet all the way to the escalator.

And we just looked at each other: did that really happen? Is Sienna Miller that pathetic???

Answer:

Yes.

Sapphic Sienna


Well well… isn’t this a shocker. Sienna Miller looking bombed out of her tree groping someone else’s girls. Looks like some innocent fun, non?

Because Sienna would NEVER make out with a chick. Or a random dude. Or get shitfaced and lose control. No no. Sienna wouldn’t go there. Sienna is STABLE, you see?

She’s much, much, much too stable and sensible too! She’s sensible and she’s stable and she’s smart and she totally has her head on straight and she also never said that drugs were “f*ckloads of fun", right?

Right.

Tights and Boots and BFFs


Lindsay Lohan not welcome!!!

Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller in London the other night, tightly bonded after working together over the last few weeks on The Edge of Love, formerly the Best Time of Our Lives about Dylan Thomas and his women. Rather than letting professional rivalry get in the way, the two appear to have found in one another a kindred spirit – friends who understand the business but who are also, at heart, two girls with girl problems and girl hang-ups.

Rumour has it Sienna hasn’t had many positive girl relationships, that she is only recently experiencing it for the first time, that she is happier now than she’s been in a while.

A real friend...Lindsay Lohan needs one of those.

PS. That other dude is a co-star, NOT a new boyfriend. Jamie and Sienna still on.

My New Favourite Besties


Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley are currently promoting The Edge of Love – this is an interview recently during which they went head to head on trivia related to each other. It is SUPER cute. And it also feels authentic. It feels like they way you’d be with your bestie. All the giggling, the competition, the mutual support, the cheating…and especially Keira. I love that she was so immediate about her answers. Sienna’s like the littler one – the troublemaker, the flake, the one who can never stop sh*t from coming out of her mouth. As usual.

Probably the most likable they’ve both been in a long time. This is the kind of thing I’d watch more often.

Click here to view.

Attached – Sienna and Keira in Scotland for the photo call yesterday. The size of Keira’s waist is indeed alarming. But we’re not allowed to say she has an eating disorder anymore, remember? She insists she doesn’t have one!

Sienna still has a friend


Thanks to her affair with Balthazar Getty, Sienna has become persona non grata in Los Angeles as Rosetta Getty’s powerful female network quickly mobilised against the other woman.

At home in London though, Sienna still has friends. And she still has a friend in Keira Knightley. Here they are arriving hand in hand and bone to bone yesterday at the British Independent Film Awards in London.
Maybe spending more time with girls, the right girls, will set that crazy bitch straight. Sienna makes really bad boy decisions over and over and over again.

They looked great together last night. LOVE both dresses. Love that they’re so well coordinated they pout at the same time and laugh at the same time. Love, love, love the shot of Keira from the side, a great shot of the razor blades in her mouth.

Keira Knightley: a protesting jaw?


Uhhhh… NOT sweet.

And yes, I get it that celebrities can’t always looked glammed up the ass every day. But that jaw? That jaw scares me. That is what I call a Bulimic Jaw – my girlfriend Beth, a doctor, can attest to that kind of jaw: jutting out at the corners as a result of too much heaving…though of course, let’s clarify in light of her lawsuit that the mere suggestion of an eating disorder on her part is absolutely absurd right???

After all, those photos of her on the beach a couple of weeks ago, cut abs, not an ounce of fat – those photos are simply the result of working out, eating well, and TOTALLY NOT torturing her own body, right? How could anyone even suggest such a thing???

But that’s exactly what a British rag did at the time, which has resulted in her suing for damages, because NO ONE, NO ONE other than the editors of said publication would, in their right mind, be so Cruise to assume that she’s anorexic, right???

Here’s Keira, in London with her equally overnourished boyfriend, cutting a fine line with their cheekbones, their hippy chic, and of course their love of food. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a healthier couple.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Keira_Knightley_at_The_Edge_of_Love_premiere_afterparty_in_London.aspx


What problem? There is no problem!


This is Keira Knightley yesterday in London at The Edge of Love afterparty in a gorgeous purple dress looking as healthy as ever. At least in her mind. Remember – she doesn’t have a problem, she’s never had a problem, and you’re not allowed to say she has a problem. Because there is no problem.

Keira according to Keira takes care of herself properly. And if you don’t believe her you’re just a mean gossipy asshole. Yeah, that would be me.

As for her famous pursed lips - a few readers have emailed to defend Keira’s morose mug. You say that the contrived depression is simply a smokescreen for her razorblade teeth. This is maybe the most amazing theory, like, ever.

So Keira knows her smile is scary (surely you’ve seen the underbite, bulimic jaw, crazy incisor combination, right?) and therefore never bares her teeth, resulting in the pouty pissy face we’ve come to know and love.

Makes sense to me.

Does she think of prunes too?

Keira was on hand today to support Karl Lagerfeld too. Of course. She is the face of Coco Mademoiselle. That’s a very thick fringe. You like? I think I do. It balances out her bulimic jaw.

Oh hush.

Keira doesn’t vomit!

She’s naturally thin!

"Two Boys in the City" Boy #2 clue

http://www.laineygossip.com/Ed_Westwick_Penn_Badgley_Chace_Crawford_at_TRL.aspx

Ugh. Hate when this happens. You fall in love with a character and he becomes the hotness. Then the dude gets his picture taken and it all turns to sh*t. Such is the case with Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl. If you’re into him too, stop reading here. The photos will ruin him for you.

Ed Westwick (Chuck), Penn Badgley, and Chace Crawford stopped by TRL the other day to promote the show. As you can see, Ed’s pants have issues. First of all, they sit too high. And the wash is ass. And few boys can pull off the ankle length - he’s not one of them. And Ed, like Chace, has a small case of gay face. Gay face is great for the gays, but not for the girls.

Most alarming though is the chest hair. It’s dark and wiry and scares me.

Am over Chuck Bass.

"Legendary Tales" reveal

http://www.laineygossip.com/Michelle_Williams_Ewan_McGregor_A_Chipmunk_Cheeked_CBomb.aspx

There’s a new book coming out - "Billion-Dollar Kiss: The Kiss that Saved 'Dawson's Creek' and Other Adventures in TV Writing" by Jeffrey Stepakoff with an insider view of what it’s like to write for prime time television including a little show called Dawson’s Creek. DC was of course the crown jewel of the WB, at the time under the purview of John Litvack, an executive with the network who apparently wasn’t a big fan of Michelle Williams.

During a story pitch involving Michelle’s character Jen Linley, Litvack impatiently burst out - "I don't care about that chipmunk-cheeked c**t!”

Chipmunk-cheeked c**t! Now an Oscar-nominated Chipmunk-cheeked c**t!

Had to laugh, even though Michelle Williams doesn’t laugh about much these days. Totally cutting off her fan base, now dealing with rumours from the production of her new movie with Ewan McGregor – no wonder why she’s not smiling.

The scoop – my sources tell me exclusively that crew members are snickering on the set of Incendiary about the inordinate amount of time she has allegedly been spending in Ewan’s trailer. They could, like, totally, totally be running lines but given his lothario reputation and the fact that Heath is shooting Batman is Chicago and has a certain reputation of his own, speculation is rife that Ewan is lending a sympathetic ear…and perhaps more?

But they’re both married... SO not possible, right? Could never happen, right? Never in Hollywood, right?

Still following up, will keep you posted.

"A Bitch to Work For" clue

http://www.laineygossip.com/Salma_Hayek_Tom_Cruise_Salma_Hayek_breaking_the_glass_ceiling.aspx

Salma Hayek: breaking the glass ceiling

As gaygay Wentie would say: Brava Salma, Brava Brava.

Salma Hayek is now the head of a brand new production company financed by MGM “specializing in Latino movies appealing to wider, mainstream audiences.” The newly formed Ventanazul will release 2 to 4 projects a year showcasing Latino/Latina talent, capitalizing on the critical acclaim of Salma’s Frida and the runaway success of her Ugly Betty. The deal is similar to what the GMD negotiated with MGM six months ago, making Salma one of the most powerful and respected women in film.

In other words: Salma Hayek is Tom Cruise - only smarter, saner, sassier, savvier, and much easier to look at.

A new lady mogul in Hollywood…

Love, love, love.

"No More Favours" revealed

http://www.laineygossip.com/Patrick_Dempsey_Brad_Pitt_Shiloh_Jolie_Pitt_Patrick_Dempsey_Healthy_Ego_or_Egomaniacal.aspx

On the cover of Details this month – a rather candid interview in which he discusses his re-ascent and his future.

As you know, I’m not a huge fan. Not that I particularly dislike him (those sentiments are reserved for the stone-faced wife), I just don’t particularly care. There’s no swooning, there’s no shit-losing, and there’s definitely no panty ripping …unlike my eTalk producer Jennifer who has plastered his face all over her desk.

But I digress.

The point is, when it comes to Patrick Dempsey – take it or leave it – I’m rather indifferent.

Having said that, there is one quality I appreciate very much. And no, not the hair. Patrick you see has a bit of Angelina in him. He COULD give a canned interview but oftentimes he doesn’t. Instead, he seems to prefer to answer honestly, without much of a censor, and like Jolie before him, the results are at once insightful, intriguing, perhaps controversial, and possibly detrimental.

Or not.

Key quotes from the article suggest a very positive attitude and quite a robust ego, especially for someone whose rise from the dead is barely 12 months old. Note the highlighted section:

“Things are going well, but I’m not satisfied. I don’t think the character is going to change that much. Shonda Rhimes has created a great show. And I’m contributing to that and have benefited from that profoundly. And she’s benefited by being smart enough to cast me when no one else did. It’s been a great opportunity, but it’s not the end-all, be-all of where I want to go.”

Don’t begrudge him about seeing beyond Grey’s Anatomy, but Shonda “being smart enough” to give him a job? Coulda been phrased differently, don’t you think? Suggestion:

“Shonda created a great show, I am grateful that she saw something in me and made me part of it when I had limited opportunities. I would like to believe that I’ve honoured her confidence by making a great impact.”

Bit more humble, non?

Then again, humility wasn’t entirely absent. Patrick goes on to say:

“It has given me so much confidence. I went through five years where I didn’t get anything from auditions. You start to think, Well, I’m not attractive, I’m not a good actor. But I never gave up. I just accepted this is who I am. I’m not George Clooney, I’m not Brad Pitt, but I’m uniquely who I am.”

And in spite of the chubby ego comments above, THAT is what I admire. Patrick KNOWS he ain’t George, it sounds like he KNOWS he’s found his level, is comfortable inside that box, and will not reach beyond his station.

Quite a refreshing change from the delusional tv girls and boys constantly pining for Oscar gold.

Pray Goddess Dr McDreamy does not become Rachel Green.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Patrick_Dempseys_hair_in_New_York_to_promote_Enchanted.aspx

Patrick Dempsey in NYC yesterday promoting Enchanted which is the feel good, sweetheart holiday movie of the year. If you’re into Chick Lit, line up now. If you’re into Disney musicals, line up now. If you love watching heroines get rescued Rossumingly by “themselves”, line up now. And of course if you’re into McDreamy and the ridiculous Grey’s Anatomy illusion of the “perfect man”, line up now.

But will Enchanted turn McDreamy into Clooney? Doubtful. He does however have better hair, even though the mop can be unruly.

First, Patrick by day looking so handsome and rather young, charming your loins with his messy windswept ‘do. Love, love, love.

Then, Patrick by night at the screening with too much product and too much contrived pouf. Not so much.

And to answer your questions yesterday about his sourfaced wife and the burden she’s borne, suffice to say during his leans years, he was open to receiving.

"How He Holds Her" guess

http://www.laineygossip.com/Katherine_Heigl_Vanity_Fair.aspx

The MiniVan Majority has finally found an heir to Jennifer Aniston. And she is becoming equally as annoying.

Katherine Heigl – loves the paps, is a gay crusader, manoeuvres behind the scenes for more air time, better scripts, the best lines… the all American perfect girl who has become a major Hollywood player. As I said a few months ago, between the Albas and the Biels and the Gellars, my money is on Heigl to be the new TV Girl with a rapacious appetite for more.

Which is why she’s now suddenly burning her bra in a new interview with Vanity Fair, offering her opinion on her box office winning movie Knocked Up, effectively kicking Judd Apatow in the balls:

“(Knocked Up) paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as goofy, fun-loving guys. It was hard for me to love the movie.”


Oh bitch… shut your ass!

If it was hard for her to love the movie, why did she do the movie??? Well…she did the movie for money. She did the movie for her career. Which means she put her professional ambitions over her personal beliefs. Which means she can be bought. And someone who can be bought should not be spewing off about positive female images. Or lack thereof.

And while we’re at it – how the hell do you think she landed this Vanity Fair cover anyway? And how is it that she’s suddenly commanding $6 million a movie? How else did she win that Emmy?

NOT on the strength of the sh*t that has become Grey’s Anatomy but on the popularity of one Judd Apatow, the new king of Hollywood.

This is what you call pissing on the man that makes you.

This is Katherine Heigl. Ungrateful, scheming, and a force to be reckoned with. There is a new famewhore in town. And she looks gorgeous in Vanity Fair.

"The perils of oversensitivity" revealed again

http://www.laineygossip.com/Matthew_Perry_dating_Mandy_Moore.aspx

Page Six is reporting that Matthew Perry (who???) is dating Mandy Moore. That the two were seen at dinner the other night holding hands and whispering and cute. Totally makes sense to me. Matthew is Wonder Bread on the outside and all kindsa dark and damaged on the inside. And Mandy is trying to become deep and twisty herself, what with all the songs about depression and wearing black and shit, Matthew must present a particular draw…perhaps they are “healing” each other.

As for that ring on her finger – many of you asked about this photo yesterday and what appears to be a huge bauble on her left hand. She’s reportedly been wearing it for a while but she is not engaged to a man.

She is however engaged to herself – a self engagement, if you will… supposedly a new trend for single women probably inspired by the Ministry of Oprah:

Love yourself first! Love yourself before loving anyone else!

Apparently we can’t go shopping anymore without attaching to our purchases some kind of deeper meaning. Gag.

"The Wrong Colour, the Wrong Number" clue?

http://www.laineygossip.com/Ashlee_Simpsons_video_debut_thwarted_by_Jamie_Lynn_Spears_pregnancy.aspx

Pervy Papa Pimp Joe Simpson has totally f&cked up Jessica Simpson’s career, not to mention her love life, and now he’s also failing with Ashlee. Ashlee’s new album was set to drop in November but has since been pushed back to early 2008. Word is she’s back in studio for rewrites and tweaks. The video for the first single however debuted on TRL this week – a date chosen well in advance by Joe for maximum play… but for a teenage pregnancy that has inconveniently gotten in the way.

Jamie Lynn Spears has stolen Ashlee’s thunder and Papa Joe is right pissed.

And although he could not have foretold Jamie Lynn’s bombshell, many insiders claim he’s been well out of his league for ages and the consequences are proving disastrous for both his daughters.

Attached – photos of Ashlee at TRL looking pretty and generic and greasy goth glam with some extra pudge in her lips like her sister. Seriously…can’t these two stay away from surgery???

The Rich Wretch Too!

http://www.laineygossip.com/The_Rich_Wretch_Too.aspx

Who was in Toronto the other night, attempting to dance while her ex BFF’s ex fiancĂ© worked the tables, and ended up spending half the night in the staff toilet drunk off her tree wretching her face off, irritating employees and sending them scurrying for disinfectant and antibiotics for fear of viral contamination?

It IS who you think it is.
