"Good Help is Hard to Find" reveal

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

Duana and I disagree on many things – Michael Phelps, her hair, my hair, Anne Hathaway – but we are most diametrically opposed on the subject of Natalie Portman. Duey can’t bear Natalie Portman. I, on the other hand, worship Natalie Portman.

Here she is, at various engagements during the Venice Film Festival, looking impossibly beautiful and natural and effortless, dressed down or dressed up. Major hard-on.

Natalie will also be headed to TIFF to promote New York, I Love You. Her Boleyn sister Scarlett Johansson is expected at the festival too, as is her ex, Gael Garcia Bernal for Blindness.

She and Gael once shared a flat together in Toronto a couple of years ago during an ON period of their On/Off relationship. Interestingly enough, Toronto is also where Gael experienced some assistant issues which have hopefully been resolved now that he’s pregnant.

"Good Help is Hard to Find" clue/reveal

Three Whiskers Orlando Bloom has been laying low of late – no new projects confirmed, scrambling to find some new direction with his career beyond the teenybop. Good luck with that, honey.

Word is he and Kate Hudson were seen with their heads together at one point – not making out but in serious discussion about someone they both knew who’s no longer with them. Like Sienna Miller, his death has supposedly had a sobering effect on Orly who was allegedly no stranger to the insidious Hollywood hard party lifestyle.

Too bad the dude who’s looking for good help hasn’t heeded the same message, even though he was on hand to witness a heartbreaking reaction to the tragedy almost first hand.

"Good Help is Hard to Find" clue/reveal

Good Help is Hard to Find

http://laineygossip.com/Good_Help_is_Hard_to_Find.aspx

Celebrities don’t always have it easy, you know. As is the case with Britney Spears, a competent assistant is a valuable commodity, especially one who won’t sell you out and will still pick up your dirty undies.

But picking up panties is one thing… picking up your drugs is another matter entirely. What’s a highly regarded actor to do when he can’t pay someone to pick up his drugs??? Especially when he has such a voracious appetite?

Given recent events, you’d think he’d know better… and while I can certainly sympathise with a serious addict, how can you sympathise with someone who would rather compromise an employee than risk getting caught?

At least own your own sh*t, you know?

But it’s all about the image isn’t it? He is an acclaimed artist, who is involved and informed and aware, idolised by some for his impish good looks – a selfish junkie isn’t usually what comes to mind. Those in the industry however have surely seen him openly spread his blow all over the dinner table, at any given party, and put half of it into his brain. So brazen is he that he used to carry his stash on his body while travelling, tucked into a coat pocket, cavalierly going through security.

Over the last three months or so however he’s suddenly become a lot more paranoid. And so the task of transporting his happy across borders has rested on his personal assistants. It took her three carries before she finally put her foot down and refused. And got fired for it. The girl who took her place made it only once before quitting herself.

He’s still looking for a replacement.

Substance abuse is one thing. Allowing someone else to take the fall for your addiction is another. Selfish prick.

"Mr Popular likes Pretty Woman," it's not...

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

Mr. Popular loves Pretty Woman . . . Should Frida be spelled with just an 'i', as in Frida Kahlo? Did this incident take place in Mexico? Are we talking Gael Garcia Bernal? Or is the location the only thing relevant to Mexico?

Dear Rhonda,

My bad. It is indeed Frida with just an 'I'. And yes, this did take place somewhere in Mexico. But the player who paid was not Gael Garcia Bernal. It was someone older, someone much more substantial, someone very handsome, but who - unlike GGB - probably wouldn't look so good in drag.
