How does he roll?
Private plane on someone else’s dime with specific requests about the type of aircraft…like it’s not enough to bypass commercial flying, you need to fly in a particular model. But that’s just the beginning.
He can only travel in matching (like MATCHING!) SUVs with police escort. Three of them. One left empty. And then a sedan. Why the sedan? Because his lower level staff are not allowed to ride in SUVs. They are beneath SUVs. His staff must also stay in a hotel separate from his.
Then there’s eye contact. No eye contact under any circumstances. If his driver happens to have to idle for more than 15 seconds with him in the car – say they’re packing up gear, or waiting for a delivery – the driver must exit the vehicle until the fleet is ready to move.
Speaking to him of course is out of the question. Speaking in his vicinity is even worse. The only voice he wants to hear is his own. You can talk…but only when he gives you permission. There’s actually a hand signal for that. It comes from his manager.
Hotel staff learn this lesson quickly. Imagine asking someone if he wants fresh towels and have him stare back at you, behind sunglasses, not answering, the silence filling up the room like a flood, how small that person must feel, that person who works and busts her ass for minimum wage, not even to be acknowledged, to feel the message from a millionaire that she is not worth engaging? Not even a nod?
If he walks past you in the hall, you must turn your back. If you don’t turn your back he’ll stop walking. His team will stand in a wall around him for fear that you might breathe on him. Worse still, they will harass you. They will intimidate you. They will treat you like a criminal and report you to make sure you are punished.
All of this and more, communicated without shame, without embarrassment, executed as though it’s the most natural way to behave … these are His Rules.

Michelle is in New York this minute shopping at J Crew with Rachel Weisz. They’re trying on the same cords…or something.
Michelle is texting me from the change room I think. She has a new girl crush.
I get it…but then again I don’t want to. I remind Michelle that she’s, um, weird and thrifty. Michelle ignores me. Duana chimes in on the same text, ignoring me too, and tells Michelle to try on some other items from the catalogue they were both curious about.
This is my punishment last week for not being able to join them at the Brothers Bloom screening. They went, they saw, the loved. Not typical Wes Anderson. And Rachel is sublime.
Here she is, on the cover of the new Vogue, perhaps the magazine’s best cover all year. Also attached, a few extras of Rachel during the Bloom presser at TIFF. LOVE the pantsuit.
Conveniently, Darren Aronofsky was in town for the festival too. He came into the eTalk Lounge for an interview and accepted two boxes of cookies and baby clothes.

My Gwyneth took two years off when she had her babies. She was insufferable about reminding us, but she took two years off.
Before “birthing” Sunday, Granny Freeze Nicole Kidman made no secret of her desire to have a baby with Keith Urban. Even though she barely spent any time with first two children, she said she craved the opportunity to be pregnant, to be a mother again, and suffered greatly when she miscarried on more than one occasion. Such private details revealed in the most public fashion.
As you know, Granny got hersurrogate wish. And she has celebrated Sunday Rose by going back to work immediately, non stop, in Australia and now in London for Nine with Daniel Day Lewis, Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, and Fergie, all of whom were at the Madonna Wembley show last week while rehearsing, dancing, and training in the UK to prepare for their roles.
Can you imagine Granny? In a studio with those women? Those younger women and their younger bodies? Her poor cosmetic surgeon is probably being summoned for botox hits by the hour. And her poor husband must be banned from the set...which is probably a good thing. Keith isn't good with temptation.
Fortunately for the paps, in spite of her busy schedule, Gran found the time to take Sunday out for a stroll on Sunday touring the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. She does have a rather grandmotherly air about her. Definitely closer to Goldie Hawn than to Kate Hudson, a sharp reminder that must be killing her every day.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Kate_Hudson_Joel_Madden_Gerard_Butler_Roof_Lounge_at_Park_Hyatt_during_TIFF.aspx?IsMicro=0
Night after night during TIFF, after hours, the Roof Lounge at the Park Hyatt is where we go. And it’s where they go. Friday, 1:30am, we hit up the Hyatt and ended up in an elevator with Kate Hudson.
She was wearing a short orange cocktail dress. Looked amazing. And that ass… someone had mentioned that her ass appeared padded JLo styles. Some extra junk that seemed out of place in contrast to her upper body, her thin legs, and her modest chest. Juicy.
Of course Dylan noticed. Of course he and the manslinger had to have a moment inside a crowded elevator that made the rest of us feel like we were intruding. She mentioned that we were crammed in there, he decided to pick up that thread, offering some suggestive little remark that made her giggle, and the exchange continued until the doors opened up at the top. Now he’s convinced that it could have happened.
Unfortunately for him, I wasn’t in the mood to pimp his ass. It was time for a pick me up. Cut to an hour later and Joel Madden’s in his own little section, surrounded by girls, seeming to be pleased by the attention, but not obliging them either, grooving to the beats, and hanging out with… Robin Thicke?
Random.
Wish I could tell you more about their friendship but then the DJ put on Madonna and everyone started dancing like madness and kicked it up even more when Let’s Hear It For The Boy came on and suddenly it was 4 am and time to go home.
Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, and many, many others were up on the Roof the night after and word is Gerry Butler too who has become “drop in dude” at the festival because he left town after RocknRolla on Thursday and then came back just to party on Saturday. Here he is at the Blindness premiere. And Kate at the Richard Branson party earlier Friday night.

You’d think that she, of all people, would be more precious with her body. Not only because it’s so beautiful but also because she worked so hard to actually keep it.
But behind the face and up the nose, there is a serious, serious problem with blow. It started because she needed to keep her weight down, it has continued because she’s a full blown addict, devoting half her time to so called philanthropy, and the other half to hardcore happy. So much so that she’s now losing jobs as it’s no secret she can barely get down a carpet without rushing to the loo and hitting up some more which is where they found her at an event this week. A goodwill party turned almost disastrous when someone walked in and saw her slumped over the toilet, half conscious with bile dripping down her chin, her hair wet sticking to her face, begging to be allowed to stay at the party.
They managed to remove her from the venue without anyone noticing but the very very wealthy man she came with was so disgusted he immediately severed their relationship and worse still, the influential host of the festivities is now refusing to take her call.
A discreet visit to rehab is the next logical step but they worry she’s not ready until rock bottom, which appears to be just around the corner.

Nicole Richie took Harlow out for a stroll yesterday – look at the chubbs! Those little feet are like fresh hot buns!
Would you have believed a year ago? That between Nicoles, it’s Richie who seems a more normal mom? That it wasn’t Nicole Richie who beat her body back into starvation within days of giving birth? Shocking.
After spending the day with her baby, Nicole headed out at night for a fashionable evening. Attached – Nicole arriving at Marc Jacobs in a beater tank, a black bra, and a leather skirt. Effortless, cool, making Posh and Lopez look rather… strenuous?
Nicole was then spotted at Cipriani partying with Damon Dash and sharing photos before heading home to Harlow.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Adrien_Brody_Mark_Ruffalo_Rachel_Weisz_at_Brothers_Bloom_premiere_at_TIFF.aspx
Mark Ruffalo has like 8,000 movies in the festival this year! Seriously…he’s a busy dude. But so underrated.
By all accounts he is delightful in The Brothers Bloom which premiered last night at TIFF. Haven’t had a chance to screen it but I can’t imagine that Mark and Adrien Brody together for 2 hours will be terribly tough to endure.
Bloom also stars Rachel Weisz looking sooo lovely and sooo beautiful in a silver Herve Leger which, knowing her, was probably free. I wonder if she regifts her clothes for Christmas?
As mentioned earlier, Adrian it seems was in town forever. From Friday to at least last night, quite the stretch, not that anyone is complaining. We want Adrien Brody something fierce. He was pure sex last night in his suit, again rockin’ the bromance with his buddy Mark. The three of them – Mark’s wife, Mark, and Adrien, it seems like they’re constantly in a huddle, whispering, gossiping, bonding… it’s adorable. I want to be the fourth. Like double dates.
And if you ever want to meet him one day, if you’re wondering if he’s a snotty sh*t who wouldn’t ever speak to you, Adrien was with his publicist last night up at the roof and was approached almost incessantly by partiers wanting a piece of his hotness.
He was sweet and friendly to everyone. And best… his publicist did not tell anyone to beat it. Needless to say, that’s extremely rare.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Edward_Norton_at_TIFF.aspx
He had every woman on that carpet swooning last night. At TIFF to promote Pride & Glory, Edward Norton was without Colin Farrell who was supposed to show but didn’t. Official word is that he was tied up in Ireland shooting a movie. But my sources say he was originally flying in from LA.
Gossip, buffet, what smut you believe is entirely up to you.
Back to Edward…
He had puffy hair last night. And I’m sorry, I’m blogging on a shoot right now so I may not be able to find the photo. But it’s more than just the hair.
Edward Norton’s brand of sexy isn’t quite like the others. You have to remember… as my producer Laura explains… Edward Norton is a little crazy. He dated Courtney Love! And so when I say he’s a hot f&cking beast, I truly mean he’s a hot f&cking beast. There is something dark and angry inside Edward Norton, even when he’s on his best behaviour. And so it’s an entirely different kind of quiver from say Colin Firth or any of the others I’m too tired to remember from this week.
What Edward Norton gives off is an element of unpredictability. You never know which face he’ll have on. In that respect, the Hulk was a rather appropriate fit.
Last night he was uncomfortable but humbled, truly overwhelmed by the reception at the gala. Still…he was testy. Never fond of media, at times he was impatient though he stopped short of being rude. This conflict results in a certain tension that keeps things exciting. At any moment he could fly off the handle. At any moment he could stalk away. Or at any moment he might break into a beautiful wide smile and sweep you off your feet. It’s an intoxicating experience that is probably much too difficult to describe.
Edward Norton is a complicated man. He has a complicated energy. I imagine being in love with him would result in a complicated, volatile relationship with dramatic and frequent separations followed by dramatic and frequent reunions that would ultimately end in total exhaustion and numbness and require a lengthy period of recovery. Unless of course you’re Salma Hayek.
Ps. He was a tad underdressed.
PPS. Am told he had great breath.
