"Wife confronts colleague" clue

http://laineygossip.com/Articles/Celebrity/20205/Details/18543/Julia-Roberts-praises-Natalie-Portman-in-Variety

Julia knows this Natalie

We were liveblogging last year’s Golden Globe Awards but would gladly have stopped after the best moment of the entire show happened on the carpet:

WHO’s NATALIE????????



See?

This is why you invite Julia Roberts. Everywhere.

While Julia may not have known that particular Natalie (Morales? Does it matter? Julia doesn’t KNOW HER. Do we need to?), she does know Natalie Portman. They were both in Closer, of course. I LOVED Closer. Here they are in 2007 when Julia received the American Cinematheque Award. Holy sh-t, Natalie looked young. She looks like the small town niece come to the big town for a dress up party. And Aunt Julia is very proud. So proud she wrote an open love letter for Natalie, Portman, in Variety:

"It is an interesting endeavour, watching a friend in a film. It is a risk to agree to write an article about a friend in a film. With someone like my subject today, Natalie Portman, it seemed worth the risk. She is always lovely, always watchable, always interesting. Then there is 'Black Swan.' If only I could reach out from the page now and offer you a glass of terribly good wine and ask you to sit a while.


Natalie Portman in the new film by Darren Aronofsky is a ballerina. I cannot think of anything more accurate and complimentary to say about her in this role: She is a ballerina! One is so lost in the aching beauty, the elegant moves and the quiet mania of her pursuits, she, Natalie, ceases to exist.
It is an intense and at times brutal film to watch. There were times when I was watching through tiny cracks in my quaking fingers. But to see her in this role was worth the one night of tossing and turning.


I, as many, first fell deeply in love with Natalie in Luc Besson's film 'The Professional.' A performance like the one she delivers in 'Black Swan' affirms that my professional admiration for her was well placed. Now as the years have kindly made her a li'l friend (that's a joke for Natalie), I am simply beaming with pride for her and want only to have her over to our home to hug her, tell her all the wondrous things we think of her, rub her weary feet and make her the biggest, most delicious dinner she could ever eat!"

So much amazingness in one short letter.

First, she boasts like I do. She was right about Natalie Portman. She wants you to know it. JULIA ROBERTS BELIEVED NATALIE PORTMAN COULD DELIVER LIKE THIS. No one else did.

Also...

She’s so tight with Portman, a lock for a Best Actress nomination, she has a nickname for her. That makes Julia cool and with it. And friends with everyone.

And... don’t forget... she’s happily married. “We” want to rub her feet, have her over to “our” place. It definitely isn’t subtle.

Just like it’s no secret who she’s voting for. Julia Roberts is not voting for Annette Bening.

Smell another jealous rage?

Remember when this happened? Click here for a refresher on Cameron Diaz throwing herself at Alex Rodriguez in Mexico over Thanksgiving changing her forever in my mind and remind me that she is the girl who lost her sh-t at Justin Timberlake for picking up with Jessica Biel so soon after they split; she is the girl who embarrasses herself at a bar with a douchebag who barely cares.

And now this prick, while Cam’s away in Europe promoting The Green Hornet, is apparently kicking it low rent with some Housewife of Some City (the one who always walks around in a bikini?) called Kelly Bensimon in Miami. Page Six reports that ARod was flirting with Bensimon at an Art Basel party the other night. Another source tells the paper that: "While Alex was recently seen with Cameron Diaz again, they're not back together. He is single."

Does she know that?

Or will she get home and throw down with a D Lister when she finds out?

Please.

Pease let this happen.

And please let it happen like this. The video below. I’ve been waiting to find a reason to post it. And since Cammie is prone to jealous rages, well, it’s really the best fit. Thanks Ritchie!

You don’t have to be Chinese to appreciate the beauty of this clip. It will make your life no matter what language you speak. If you are fluent in Cantonese however you’ll know why I love it so much. It’s the best f-cking sh-t I have EVER SEEN. And before you suggest that it might be a fraud...

Don’t.

You don’t know my people.

If it was a fraud, you’d be able to see the other girl’s face. She’d get full exposure for her troubles. They’re vain that way these Hong Kong girls.

Anyway, enough commentary from me. Watch and be happy. And now imagine Cammie D doing the same. OMG. Why wasn’t I in this restaurant when this went down?!?!

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

No Rhythm > Over-Rhythm

Am not evolved enough to understand the apparent loin-inflammation that has been resulting from Mario Lopez’s Broadway debut in A Chorus Line. So he can dance. But does he have to flame dance?

This is ignorant, I know. And I wish I could be like Sarah Jessica Parker. I wish I could see a dandy up on stage and go ahead and marry it. But I am a small person. And if given the choice, I’d prefer my man with no rhythm than an over abundance of it.

I’d rather my man in the corner, knowing his rhythmic limitations, happy to nurse a beer and bop his head, happy to watch me bop my head with my girls, happy to chill off the dance floor waiting for me to finish.

I reckon Jim Sturgess is this kind of man. A man I’d like to walk with in slow motion out of a club, with his arm draped around me and his hand dangling off my shoulder, lanky and long in skinny jeans and a leather jacket with his hair in his eyes, not knowing the first thing about razzle dazzle on the stage but everything about razzle dazzle in the bedroom.

Yum.

My main gay Darren has been working hard, travelling from one coast to another for several months. As such, we haven’t been drunk together nearly enough all year. Darren misses me. He missed me so much yesterday he actually watched part of the hockey game and texted me from home, not knowing what he was looking at but wanting to feel close to me. I was touched. So here are two gifts in return for my ‘mo.

First a piece of cheese. Or a pair of cheese nipples depending how you look at it. Mario Lopez last night leaving Katsuya. Gross. Not Katsuya. Mario Lopez. Like really, really disgusting. I will never understand women who swoon at this beefcake business. It’s repels me. I actually feel queasy.

Darren however is all over it.

He’ll also be all over this:

16 & 18

Oh the modern teen.

So TMZ caught Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez at the IHOP in Philly the other day. Apparently they were on a date and held hands and giggled. Over pancakes. Sounds about right, right? Click here if you haven’t yet seen the photo of them leaving arm in arm. If you have a 12 year old who seems particularly forlorn today, this would be why.

Bieber is 16. Selena is 18.

When I was 18, there was no f-cking way I was dating a 16 year old. When I was 18, it was either my grade or much older. It was only when I got older that I started testing the limits of gay math. But this is not the point. The point is, for the modern teenage girl, does Bieber’s fever fame trump the younger age gap? If you polled ten 18 year old regular civilian girls right now, and asked them if they’d date Bieber, two years their junior, would they say yes because he’s THE Justin Bieber? Like, check out that picture. Because she has to hunch to be as short as he is.

There’s also the matter of this generation and their lover-sharing. Everyone in every friend circle ends up, at one time or another, messing around with everyone else. Taylor Lautner/Selena Gomez/Taylor Swift. Nikki Reed/Robert Pattinson/Kristen Stewart. Vanessa/Dan/Serena/Nate/Blair/Chuck. Ebola Hilton/Brody Jenner/Avril Lavigne. Now Demi Lovato/Justin Bieber/Selena Gomez. There are SO many examples. But it makes an already tense Lovato/Gomez situation even more so, non?

Dear Gossips,

The thing about denials is what ISN’T being denied. Especially in a public statement. As I mentioned last week, some gossip stories take a while to play out. In the end though, they will unfold the way they should. Because most of the time celebrities are terrible liars.

Dexter Affair? Julia Stiles Fires Back About Michael C. Hall

Thu., Dec. 16, 2010 1:54 PM PST by Marc Malkin

As soon as Dexter costars Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter announced their real-life marriage was over, the rumors began.

The internet was flooded with claims that Hall has been romancing Julia Stiles, who plays his love interest on the hit Showtime series.

So, what's the real deal? Read on to find out…

Stiles insists she and Hall are not seeing each other.

"I have absolutely nothing to do with the split between Michael and Jennifer," Stiles says in a statement released by her rep. "We are good friends and enjoyed working together. This is a personal matter between them, and we should respect their privacy. Although I too prefer to keep my private life, private—I felt compelled to dispel the rumors I was somehow the cause for this matter."

Hall and Carpenter told Entertainment Weekly early this week that they were divorcing after almost two years of marriage, explaining that they have "been separated for some time."

Divorce and Nomination

I guess that’s how it rolls in Hollywood.

Access Hollywood broke the exclusive last night – that Dexter stars Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter are through. So they released a statement confirming it, claiming it’s been over between them for some time now. Awkward. The work situation is very awkward. Apparently she’s been unable to keep her sh-t down on the set, yapping to cast, crew, anyone about their problems, making people uncomfortable. And they’re worried how these two will manage their relationship now that it’s out in the open that it’s over. She’s expected to file divorce papers imminently.

Even though breakups are no big deal in Hollywood, because what lasts anymore?, this one felt more sad than most. He had cancer and they fought through that, and he’s fine now but their marriage became a casualty. This is why I’m so superstitious. Nothing is ever free. Something good happens, something must be sacrificed. And on the heels of his divorce announcement, he just received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor. Life is terrifying.

Here’s Michael the other day arriving at LAX.

I mentioned yesterday that there are a few more details about one of the recent splits announced in Hollywood this week. Turns out there was someone else: his love interest this season on his tv show. Their chemistry was so crazy and so evident to everyone that writer and producers, seeing it play out on set, actually cranked up their sex scenes to capture it for show. Her career has seen a resurgence since.

Eventually the two fell in love. They were together, very close, at a Halloween party in New York this fall hosted by a famously controversial writer (this isn’t a super important detail) and those who observed them that night are not surprised now that he’s ended it with his wife.

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

I posted this article yesterday about George Clooney’s new Italian piece and a clip that a reader called Claudia sent me that allegedly shows Elisabetta getting, um, a fellatio facial. The last line of that article read:

How will People Magazine deal with her past? Will they whitewash her resume?

Like 2 hours later, People.com did indeed profile George’s lady. And they made her sound like the most entrepreneurial, successful, well rounded woman ever. Of course they did. Because George Clooney must be sold to the MiniVan this way. I don’t give a sh-t what Canalis did with her mouth. Don’t care about her history. But what’s fascinating is how her history will somehow be repurposed because of who she’s dating.

As for whether or not all this is fair what’s she’s going through – she loves it. Trust.

Now. About that link. It says it’s her. And they say it’s her. But there’s so much – errrr – covering her, Jacek has been researching, watched it a few times, can’t make a conclusive identification except to say the features certainly match, and she’s dabbled in soft core before too.

I’ve received your emails and many of you want to see it. So let me warn you again. It’s LEWD. It’s VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY GRAPHIC.

That’s why she’s the Italian Queen

What’s the big sh-t about Elisabetta Canalis? Why the drama?

Italian police have busted a few local clubs for alleged drug activity and pimping. Some witness testified that she may have used cocaine with the Italian Queen a couple of years ago. That’s pretty much the extent of the story. The Italian Queen used to roll at a shady club for a few rails and maybe f-cked for some cash on the side and suddenly this is news.

This is not news. This is what he likes. He likes it rough and dirty, he likes it not sweet, he pays well but she can’t be well behaved, and definitely not MiniVan. You don’t think he knew? Of course he knew. You have known this for a long time. But the MiniVan, well they didn’t know. They refuse to know.

Several US media outlets have published stories about the scandal including Huffington Post and Us Weekly but curiously enough People.com has yet to address it. What’s Clooney’s next move? Does he cut and run, or does he offer an exclusive in exchange for some whitewashing, and just in time for the release of The American on September 1st? Many are expecting The American to be on the Venice Film Festival list when their lineup is announced. And with Ely by his side, defiantly refusing to release her, keeping her his Italian Queen.

Please. A little drug prostitution scandal isn’t holding back Ely Canalis. A girl with her roots doesn’t get to Lake Como without a little resourcefulness.

Publicly nuzzling the Italian Queen

Pay your f-cking respects. This, golddiggers, is about as solid as it gets. And I wonder now if anything can take the Italian Queen down.

She has endured a cocaine and prostitution scandal in Italy proper that was not only contained and controlled immediately, with no North American penetration, but she’s managed to overcome it even at home, during Milan Fashion Week, flaunting her superior strategic machinations in the faces of her enemies but appearing front row at Cavalli, and then – the ultimate trumping – hand in hand with Him at Giorgio Armani today.

In which he looks delirious. Almost drunk on her love.

In which he nuzzles her for the cameras, happily.

In which he will continue to open doors, offer opportunities, so long as she keeps up the magic.

She makes it look effortless. She deserves the photo caption.

It’s George Clooney who is accompanying Elisabetta Canalis.

Also attached – Roberto Cavalli. Because amazingness will never be denied.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Ryan_Gosling_back_to_back_films_just_booked_George_Clooneys_The_Ides_of_March_29oct10.aspx

They were all on set yesterday shooting a scene in which there’s a pawn shoppe robbery or something – Ryan Gosling, Christina Hendricks, and Carey Mulligan in pink. Really not sure why they keep dressing him like an Elvis impersonator but whatever, when that jacket comes off, there’s not much to complain about. And there’s nothing to complain about when you consider his schedule.

Ryan’s two long-awaited films Blue Valentine and All Good Things (not really crazy about that trailer) will be released at the end of the year. Crazy, Stupid, Love, the comedy with Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, Marisa Tomei, and Emma Stone (who isn’t in that movie???) is due out in April. They’re hoping to release Drive next year too. And as you’ve probably heard, he’s just been cast in George Clooney’s next directorial effort, The Ides of March, based on Farrugut North. Clooney will also star in the film. And you know, Clooney’s films never have to sit on a shelf waiting for distribution. In other words, there’s a lot of Ryan coming up. Given that we haven’t seen him at the movies since 2007, yes 2007, these are happy times.

"Doctor's orders" clue 1

Doctor’s orders

http://www.laineygossip.com/Doctors_Orders_blind_riddle_08nov10.aspx

He like his sex unconventional. Some would call it experimental, certainly vigorous, and definitely physical. Maybe too physical. Mixing pain into his pleasure, and cutting very, very close to a dangerous line is taking its toll on his body. He shows up with strange bruises, the next week it’s a minor fracture, his neck has been strained, sometimes there’s a knee brace, the shoulder’s been f-cked up for a while, and his back is a chronic issue too.

The excuse of course is that he’s active, that he exercises, he’s sporty, and that’s true, yes, but the injuries are not sustained while playing pickup, no, not at all. The injuries happen when he’s doing his business with his steady girl, a willing and capable participant.

His doctor is aware of what’s been ailing him, and WHY it’s ailing him. Helps when he can. But he’s been urged to take it easy because lately it’s been getting too rough. Especially with insurance and medicals and all that kind of paperwork, it’s hard to explain away the cuts and sprains, the little accidents that seem to be occurring with increasing frequency. He’s so into it, and he gets so off on it, it’s hard from him to curtail his fun. But they all agree, at least it’s been the case in the past, that when it’s time to get to work, he manages to keep his freak under control.

You think Kanye West has a big ego?

As obnoxious as Kanye can be, and I love him for it so much, there’s no ego bigger than the ego of a 16 year old boy-child superstar with the world at his feet. And if you think he’s too young and wholesome and milk and cookies sweet to swagger with the best of them, just because he calls his mommy and remembers to thank God, you haven’t been paying enough attention to Celebrity.

So Justin Bieber’s baby fever is apparently getting hot for Emma Watson. Yeah. Emma Watson. And apparently this is how he would entertain Emma Watson:

“I would love to take her out for dinner. It would be great if she could come to one of my concerts, then we could hang out afterward. I love the fact she is one of the biggest female movie stars, but has chosen to go back to college. It shows she is really grounded and normal.”

Yes, little guy, but are you?

Hey girl, come to my show, watch them watching me, screaming, and wanting, and then consider yourself lucky to have some of my time.

Really?

No.

Emma’s not going anywhere near it. But she’ll get hated for it anyway. You’ve heard how TwiHard his fans can get, right? She’s in danger now. Like deep, deep sh-t.
