He sprays too

http://www.laineygossip.com/He-sprays-too-blind-riddle/40602

A short and quick blind that gives some added insight into a high profile relationship:

It’s not just John Travolta who uses spray to fill in his hair. But this guy fronts like he’s way cooler. So they have more than just letters in common. And he's pretty worried about the hair loss. Right now then he’s using the spray, so much that it stains the sheets, the pillowcases, hard to get out.

So while his vibe is all chill, supposedly, he's just as concerned about aesthetics as his wife, which, I guess, is pretty obvious when you consider his signature style - another sign that this is finally the perfect partnership.

Franchise Fat

Written by Sarah

He showed up the first time fit and fine but this time around he was rather round about the tum. The director noticed and was not happy, fearing for the consistency of the franchise. When asked to slim down, the slightly schlumpy star responded, “This movie isn’t worth it.” The trim-down request was rejected, and the show went on, but feelings were sore and things were a bit stiff until Sir Portly finished his scenes.

TIFF skin problem

http://www.laineygossip.com/Katie_Holmes_at_the_Emmy_Awards_2011_19sept11.aspx

When TIFF was winding last week and several of us sat around comparing notes and gossiping, as we always do after the festival, a few minutes of the conversation was devoted to a certain actress who looked spectacular in photographs, wearing what was truly an inspired dress, but who actually has a serious skin problem which you can see up close. It’s a massive layer of foundation covering her forehead and even then, the bumps underneath are quite noticeable.

Some things won’t go away even if you keep throwing money at them. And you’d be surprised, given how perfect they look so much of the time, how often UN-perfect they really are.

There was a temperamental (that’s a kind word) actress who came back from hiatus and refused to come out of her dressing room for several hours, delaying production, because one of her co-stars had lost weight and she was no longer the thinnest girl on the show. Who?

Sponsored Tingles: Reveal The Dirt - Week 2

Hair issues

http://www.laineygossip.com/Hair_issues_Blind_Riddle_12oct10.aspx

Two riddles about hair. Two different subjects.

1. When you don’t eat, when you deprive your body of essential nutrients, it reacts in ways to protect itself. One of the side effects of excessive thinnification is the fuzzy hair growth, a soft downy layer as the body tries to keep itself warm. And oftentimes on the face. Since food is not a regular part of her life, the thinnification hair on her face is naturally dark. They do a marvellous job of hiding it though – by bleaching and strategic photography and of course foundation, although it’s getting harder and harder to hide. And as a result she’s just lost a part because of it. The director loved her, he just didn’t want to go to such great lengths to camouflage her problem.

2. Young star of the moment was getting some action once and things were progressing along nicely until the boy headed down there and discovered that her situation was so umkempt, “like even more than the 70s”, he had to tap out. It was how she learned the importance of grooming. On a personal note though, let’s make this sh-t fair: maintenance goes both ways. It’s not just a female responsibility, male deforestation is a requirement too. Carry on then with your guesses now.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Zac_Efron_goes_for_sailing_practice_in_Vancouver_for_Charlie_St_Cloud_reshoots_18may10.aspx

As noted yesterday, Zac Efron is back in Vancouver for reshoots on Charlie St Cloud. He was photographed at sailing practice yesterday and his pants were falling off. There may have been a little posing happening too. They’re actors, they ALL work on the stand and the lean and the shoulder dip. Trust.

Have heard recently from sources on the set of Charlie St Cloud who worked on the film last summer that Zac was very well liked. He was prepared and low key, no crazy ass diva demands, no celebrity posturing. Unlike a starlet recently who halted production on a project for 3 hours because wardrobe brought her a rack of clothes to try on in the wrong size. It was an innocent mistake, it was a size up, and she lost her sh-t because 1. she thought the costume designer was trying to f-ck with her about weight gain and 2. she’s been paranoid about weight gain her whole life. Gradually her assistant had to coax her back to work and the bosses arranged for her to keep the clothes, the ones that fit. It’s not Jennifer Aniston.

The Good Mommy Weight Loss Method

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

These are the things you get from your mother.

Our perfect parent found a permanent way to keep the weight down – with a lap band installation a few years ago. At the same time, she thought she’d help out her little girl too. By pretty much forcing her teenage daughter to have one put in as well. The child protested but to no avail. And better still, instead of paying out of her own pocket, she insisted that the surgery be funded out of her precious’s bank account. Well in hindsight, no wonder.

The Good Mommy Weight Loss Method

Body or Baby?

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

A couple of years ago, I was the first to write about the celebrity IV diet – many of them would admit themselves to hospital under the care of a proper physician for 10 days, 2 weeks or so, eliminating food in favour of an IV drip chock full of essentials to keep one alive while starving. Click here for a refresher.

Mainstream outlets only picked up on this last month.

Needless to say, the IV diet presents some major health issues. It’s also not that convenient. How many weeks on end can you disappear in a given year without arousing suspicion, to say nothing of the limitations on actually having a real life – who wants to spend weeks at a time away from home?

This is why she chose something, for her anyway, that was more … flexible. In more ways than one.

She was always super thin before baby. But after baby it’s been hard to lose the last 10. And to her credit, she did try hard. But nothing was working. And drastic measures had to be taken. Which is why she’s had one of those “lap band” things installed. Like gastric bypass (stomach stapling) only much less invasive.

But it’s typically for the morbidly obese. Not for an already slender women wanting to be more slender who is carrying around an extra few pounds.

Whatever. This is Hollywood. And this is a woman who needs to keep up.

So the weight came off. She’s stick thin again. And all’s good, right?

Well… the problem is that they’ve always wanted to add to their family. And it’s apparently recommended that the device be deflated or however they render it ineffective when a couple is trying to conceive. So he’s been like – ok, you’re done, you’re back to where you wanted to be so let’s get going!

But she’s too scared to stop the band thing, she’s addicted to the skinny, and her body over baby choice is now threatening her marriage.

Truly Committed

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

You know what they say - the couple that plays together, stays together. Which is exactly what these two do. Or did. They have had their fair share of games. 'Happy' games. But some time last year, they decided to get clean. Together. And luckily for them, they did it. Clean, sober, and a bit heavier. The problem is that he's become obsessed with his looks. He feels chubby, he feels old, he feels threatened by the new guard, and so naturally, he sought professional help. Some Botox here, some Botox there, a little pull here, and a little pull there…and the results - in his mind anyway - are fabulous. But doing it all alone is no fun, which is why he's been trying to convince his wife to participate. Unfortunately, she's not as in to it as he is. And this difference of opinion is starting to fracture the relationship. We're nowhere near Code Red just yet…but stay tuned…

There's growing concern

http://www.laineygossip.com/ArticleDetail.aspx?ID=2803

Sure, she's terrible at what she does but there's also another reason why she's been so invisible. I hear we are days away from an intervention. What was once a glorious physique has become a bag of bones and sunken cheeks. Why??? Same sad reason, I'm afraid. The poor girl doesn't eat and while we're not at 911 status just yet her friends and family are growing increasingly concerned. Especially her man, who is not only worried, he's also horny. Seems her sex drive disappeared along with her appetite.

One guess...good luck.

For some reason, on a recent visit back to the motherland, he was seen trying to kiss more men than women. Wonder what that means…

It matches everywhere

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

She's seen her fair share of trouble over the last year. I'm told however that things are on the up and up. Good for her. But as well as she's recovered, it certainly doesn't mean she's any less eccentric. And while her unique style doesn't work for me…it certainly adds some flavah to her image. And in Hollywood…it's all about what you look like on the outside.

Thing is, she also seems hellbent on matching what's hidden with what's not. The hair changes colour frequently. Which is fine. But can you believe that every time the hair goes a different colour, the pubes have to as well?? This is what's expected of her colour stylist. Not only a session with the head, but also with the P. As you can imagine, it's not a particularly pleasant job. Which is why the complaining has reached all the way here…

Oh and one more thing…how adorable. She has matching hair everywhere and yet she still sucks her thumb, as witnessed by fellow passengers on a recent flight. Typical little girl lost, non?

One guess. Good luck.

Her husband would be shocked to learn how she behaves when he’s not home. Because on the outside, she is “supposedly” erudite, and classy, and goes on about being well mannered and respectful, but when she’s alone, without the eyes and ears of an audience, in the presence of only her household employees, this not so ladylike lady is a slob of the worst kind. But even more than this – she is mean, she is rude, and she treats people badly.

If the staff is making too much noise cleaning and dusting or simply cooking for her highness – she thunders down the stairs and puts her finger between the eyes of the offender, threatening termination of employment and a horrible referral. When she’s going through a “fat” day, it is pure mayhem. The breakfast tray that’s delivered to her in the morning gets smashed to the ground and if there are resulting stains from her tantrum, the blame falls on the help.

As awful as this sounds, it’s actually rather pedestrian when you consider what it’s like to work for the rich and the famous. Up to now, it’s been bearable. And then she crossed the line. She likes to smoke, you see. Especially when she’s on the phone. But she hates smoking outside. And she also can’t stay still. So she came up with the following brilliant request: every time she lit up, a staff person was required to follow her around, catching the ashes as she randomly flicked them about the house. Given that this happens several times a day, the other work was getting neglected. And the poor employee was forced to stay late. With no extra pay. I’m sure it wouldn’t surprise you to learn that the staffer quit after a couple of weeks of this kind of abuse. And rightly so. Why does being cheap and badly behaved always go hand in hand???

Again…one guess. Good luck. And it’s not Victoria Beckham.

More amusing and abusing
http://www.laineygossip.com/More_amusing_and_abusing.aspx

So you already know that she's a legendary slob. And you know about her outrageous housekeeping demands. But it seems our sadistic mistress also has some self image issues. What's new, right? The only problem is, sometimes she can't wait to get to the bathroom before purging her binge. When it's one of those days, the poor staffers can do nothing else but clean up a messy trail all around the house. And dealing with her hysterics doesn't help either. But then again, it is certainly a sight to behold when she pulls it all together in time for the arrival of her husband. Oh, if he only knew…
Good luck. One more guess. Use it wisely.
