Now here’s a girl who understands carpet etiquette – Ugly Gorgessity America Ferrera at the Enchanted premiere so cute in jeans and a natural face. Do you love her? I love her.
As for her show, produced by the incomparable Salma Hayek, have sources telling me that she’s a hellion to work for. Rumours about mistreatment of staff and atrocious demands.
Really? My Salma? Do you believe it?

Salma at 40
Salma at 40
Does this look like 40 to you? Definitely not to me. But it does look like a very, very beautiful Salma Hayek at the National Domestic Violence Hotline event on Thursday - so adorable, so endearing, so impassioned…so mystifyingly single.
You think George Clooney could handle this? Most of you don't approve of George saving Kidman. So will you approve of George saving Salma? Or the other way around?

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.

Successful multi-hyphenate, super well connected personally and professionally with a reputation for being kind and compassionate and evolved.
Wrong.
Maybe for the media and maybe her fashionable celebrity friends, maybe for investors, maybe for executives, but some of her employees would vehemently disagree.
Turns out she’s a little bit of a Miranda Priestly when she comes in to the office. Starts snapping her fingers right away, never remembers anyone’s name, everyone is treated like a personal assistant, dispatched to do her bidding instead of actually getting down to work, recently held up a creative meeting because she wanted whole milk and not cream with her coffen, then 20 minutes into the meeting, she held it up again when her cell phone rang, proceeded to keep everyone waiting another 15 minutes while she discussed measurements on a dress she was having made, did not apologise when she clicked off the line, and instead embarrassed a staffer who returned to the room after having excused himself to take an urgent phone call when she was taking hers.
But all that is rather pedestrian. There are no shortage of bitches in Hollywood. In the grand scheme of things, all that is pretty harmless.
Until you get into job security.
A pregnant member of her staff was scheduled to give birth around crunch time. Her boss’s convenient remedy for the situation was to not hire her back when everyone else returned to work. At the very least she was honest. She told her straight up – your due date doesn’t work for me. I don’t think you’ll be able to contribute in the same way you did before.
So the employee hired a lawyer, a lawsuit loomed, and the boss bitch had to backpedal to the tune of a handsome pay-off (confidential, of course) and several seminars on employee rights although it apparently hasn’t helped.
She’s still super stingy, to the point where she complains about the quality of craft services (it’s too good) and even supplies, haggles over offering vacation pay, and will not foot the bill for staff celebrations and events, even though she regularly hosts lavish affairs at her own mansion for those privileged enough to be invited.
Crazier still, she seems to be clueless when it comes to tact. The other day she said to one of her producers – if you need something to do this weekend, my assistant could use some help planning our reception. You could stay for dinner if you want.
When he declined, she looked at him like he was closing the door to the opportunity of a lifetime.

Did you watch SNL? First and final sketches were my favourites. And Kristin Wiig is the sh*t. Angelina Jolaire… remember that? Hee.
So Ashton hosted, was competent, and also so so so hot. Because when Ashton shaves, Ashton is gorgeous. And he looks amazing in clothes. Perfect pants, shirts that fit well, hair that works messy, hair that works neat. Just too bad he has his head up his own ass and he clearly doesn’t see the irony in satirising someone as sanctimonious as John Mayer while failing to acknowledge the same attributes in himself.
See attached of Ashton’s Mayer parody – the facial gymnastics weren’t half bad – and also of Ashton and Demi “hating” the paps while leaving the SNL afterparty Saturday night. Love that they’re always wardrobe coordinated. Love that they’re still together. Love that he is so unabashedly into his wife. Love that they’ve proved everyone wrong. All of us. Don’t lie. You too.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Cameron_Diaz_Eric_Bana_From_Janet_M_about_Drew_Barrymore.aspx
My question: Since I've been reading your site, I don't think you've ever mentioned anything about Drew Barrymore. I'm curious - do you like her? hate her? What has she been up to lately?
Dear Janet:
I like Drew. A lot. She's irritating in a daisy, flowers, frou frou kind of way and I certainly don't approve of her friendship with Hermy Diaz, but not even a cold hearted bitch like me is immune to Drew's sweet, vulnerable appeal. And since she's currently making a movie about poker - my favourite guilty pleasure - with Eric Bana, I find her even more endearing. I hear Drew is still kickin' it with her rocker beau and I hear she's got a five year plan to be nominated for an Oscar. Considering her pedigree, I wouldn't bet against it. Although I do worry about some bad habits she is rumoured to have resurrected.
