"Chocolate" reveal

http://twitter.com/LaineyGossip/status/2312989047
Chocolate loves coffee.

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

In Italy shooting more ads for Nespresso. He’s the brand’s global ambassador and while some have criticised him for his association with the company, George continues to earn a substantial paycheque wit commercials that run primarily in Europe that keep him comfortably in Como through the summer, and of course living in luxury in LA in the winter.

John Malkovich was apparently part of the shoot too. Random.

Anyway, as mentioned, these ads do not air in North America – they prefer to keep their greedy grabbing overseas. Thanks to YouTube however, we can watch any time. It’s not enough they get paid millions per movie. Even for George.

Sasha Fierce & Jay-Z

On stage together at Madison Square Garden. Beyonce’s husband joined her for a song, the crowd went nuts. And indeed it would have been a treat. They are music royalty. Ad it’s not every show where Jay-Z will make an appearance. Lucky New York. Especially if it was Crazy In Love. Am jealous.

Attached – several shots of Sasha Fierce and that sick body performing last night to mostly positive reviews. She works hard, she’s a professional, she sings live, and you know she’s the same age as Britney Spears?

Classic story of celebrity entitlement. And she’s supposed to be so professional and sweet, not nearly as many diva stories about her than about her peers, though if you’re getting in the way of her meal, and her Maybach, you better move the f-ck out, even if you’re an old woman in an emergency situation.

It was two blocks from the Waverly very recently. An elderly woman – 84 years old – went into heart failure. The paramedic arrived immediately and tried to stabilise her before moving her to the hospital. It became a traffic clusterf-ck so the cops had to redirect vehicles over to the next block because the ambulance was waiting for the patient.

A black Maybach approaches, disregards the police instruction, and drives towards the ambulance. An officer stops the car and tells the driver to reroute:

Driver: We're going to the Waverly Inn.

Officer: We have an emergency situation and everyone has to re-route to the next block over - just go one block around.


(Moaning and groaning and whining was heard from the female passenger in the back seat).

Driver: Isn't there any way we could get through?

Offider: Sir, this is an emergency vehicle, we have an emergency situation - EVERYone must re-route. You'll have to go around the block.


And then an imperious (female) voice pipes up from the back of the Maybach..

"Well can't they just move the ambulance?"


The officer is incredulous. Then annoyed. And then he gives it to her, informing our star that "LIFE OR DEATH situations dictate traffic decisions - not anything or ANYONE else. You must re-route now."

She grudgingly told her driver to find another way, inconvenienced that a senior citizen had to choose her mealtime to have a heart attack. The nerve.

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

Last time we saw him – click here – he was decidedly Elvis, the later years. Last night at the AFI tribute to Michael Douglas, MUCH much better. Benicio must be shooting soon.

The lady he’s with is called Laura Bickford. He’s been with her often on carpets lately. Apparently she’s a producer. Assuming she’s enjoying the rewards of being in his company…in public and private? Benicio, um, supposedly can be very, VERY generous equatorially south.

And Shia too?

The lovely Yolanda sent me the link to a site I’d never heard of before. Tales from a Groupie. WARNING: it’s not for the prudish. I repeat: NOT FOR THE PRUDISH.

Also not sure how legit the stories are (starf-ckers send in details of their experiences) and of course it reads like soft core fiction but if you ever wondered what it would like to spend a night with LaBeouf, this might satisfy your curiosity. Click here if you dare.

By the way, Aubrey Drake, Rihanna’s rumoured new boyfriend, a Canadian, also has his very own entry. Or entries. Enjoy…but don’t say I didn’t warn you. Once you start, the smutty takes over and you can’t stop.

"No More Favours" revealed yet again

http://www.laineygossip.com/Patrick_Dempsey_in_France_for_LeMans_June_2009.aspx

Gorgeous.

He's in France for the LeMans 24 hour race enjoying his Grey's hiatus and the benefits of his paycheque...from the show and movies like Made of Honour.

Patrick may be the perennial silver medallist in the Sexiest Man sweepstakes but having achieved a rare teen to bleak to adult success comeback in Hollywood, he - unlike so many of his female tv contemporaries - appears to have tamed the itch to overreach.

Earning at least a hundred thousand per episode on a top rated show, the occasional million from a cheesy chick flick here and there, and a great future in movies of the week, Patrick has his farm, his cars, a great lifestyle with his family, and he's happily not hungry for more. What's there to scowl about? Well, yeah, the sacrifices were unsavoury but he's lucky...they paid off.

Some people aren't so fortunate.

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

Something is up with me today. I should call my mother.

This is Megan Fox on the Transformers promotional train in Korea. Really like her dress. That’s a first.

But how much plastic surgery has this girl had? Was she born with that face? Doubtful.

Anyway, say what you will about the Poor Man’s Jolie, but at the very least, she doesn’t give the same generic answers over and over again.

Nope.

Megan Fox, most of the time, talks out of her ass.

Am curious though what you think of her most recent quotes that are causing some controversy. When asked how she’d convince Megatron not to destroy the earth, Megan answered:

(I’d make a deal with him) and instead of the entire planet, can you just take out all of the white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, super bible-beating people in Middle America?"

Thoughts? Check the poll.

Bro Massage

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

They’ve been friends a long time. Recently worked together. Both family men now supposedly settled down. But not quite.

Several times a week, very late at night, they’d call up for room service together. Oh no, not for food, but for a certain kind of massage. Like…together. They’d get off on it together. Literally. Apparently they’ve been doing this for years. It’s how they bond. Some dudes like beer. These dudes like the hand and mouth special. Lately it hasn’t happened often enough – schedules, kids, etc.

Needless to say, when the opportunity presented itself, they made up for lost time.

Problem: one of the wives found out. Is now threatening to tell the other. Almost like blackmail. She wants them to stop hanging out AND she wants the friend to find her husband a replacement gig to make up for the one he’ll lose if she makes him pull out of their next collaboration. Hollywood wives can wheel and deal, see?

But she’s been placated before. He’s waiting for the rage to go down, and then he’ll buy her off again. A break from the bro massage until then.

"Twitter: Divorcing Actress" reveal

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

Marriage repair

A couple months ago they were on life support. Kate Beckinsale had taken off for London without warning husband Len Wiseman, stayed there a month, found daughter Lily a new school, leaving Len supposedly baffled about what prompted her decision.

Her rep vehemently denied there was anything wrong between the two. But according to my sources they were indeed apart for several weeks and that Kate had also consulted a divorce lawyer and was prepared to move forward…

Some time mid April she returned to LA and after a series of long discussions apparently agreed to give it another go. Paps were quickly called, happy photos were taken, not unlike the happy photos taken this long weekend of the two in Malibu, out and about with Lily and also at that celebrity-heavy party yesterday.

What was the reason for their troubles? Rumour has it she’s been extremely dissatisfied with her stalled career. She’d planned to be much further along at this point. Instead Kate Beckinsale is lost in the pack. Kate turns 36 this summer. Other actresses in the same age range:

Winslet, Blanchett, Weisz, Paltrow, Diaz, Cruz, Theron, Jolie, Connelly….

I mean, really. She’s lucky if she makes Page 2, right?

Therefore the frustration. So they say she took it out on her marriage. And her wardrobe. Because that totally explains the overdressing, non?

Speaking of overdressing…

Did you see Elsa f-cking Pataky at the Inglourious Basterds premiere in Cannes last week?

NO IDEA what she was doing there. Or anywhere.

But that gown. The train on that gown going up the steps, we counted, Laura and I, we counted that it spanned FIVE STEPS.

Sit DOWN Elsa Pataky.

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

It’s one thing for Megan Fox to be called the Poor Man’s Angelina Jolie. I mean at least the subject is Angelina Jolie.

But imitating, and failing, at imitating LipGloss?

Dude, is that a good move?

Zac Efron dropped out of Footloose claiming he did not want to be type cast as a singing dancing elfin. boychild. It’s now been confirmed that Zac has been replaced by none other than his similarly coiffed doppelganger Chace Crawford.

Is he a worthy update for Kevin Bacon?

Please.

Interestingly enough, Chace will have to begin training soon for the shoot. Perhaps he can get some instruction from a former contestant on So You Think You Can Dance. Strictly of the professional kind.

In other Chace news – thanks to ES for the following:

Hey Lainey -

Just wanted to let you know that Chace Crawford was at my graduation at the University of Missouri - Columbia this past Saturday. His sister was, like me, graduating with a bachelor's degree in journalism, and as soon as she walked across the stage and her name was announced there was a lot of cheering from a secluded box above rest of the stadium. Some people looked up, recognized the connection, looked at each other and within a matter of seconds all the girls were giggling and looking (while pretending not to look). Anyway, Chace was there with what looked like his mother and maybe his grandmother? Not sure. He was dressed casually - slacks, white dress shirt, suit coat. He also had a lot of facial hair, so it was hard to recognize him at first from so far away. Afterwards, he went down to the floor of the stadium and mingled with the rest of his group. Not really sure why it was necessary, as his sister wasn't even down there. He seemed very friendly to people who approached him and wanted pictures, although there were surprisingly few people who did so. Guess he's not that big of a deal yet.
