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.

Emmy ex-off: Jennifer Carpenter vs Julia Stiles

Did Michael C Hall actually go the Emmys? I’ve seen photos of him at an after-party but haven’t been able to find pictures of him at the show. Or perhaps I was preoccupied with shots of his ex-wife and his ex-lover dressed in similarly toned gowns. Grey-nude silhouette, hair down and wavy, one more tricked out than the other but overall it’s the same play, giving them even more in common than former lover and co-star.

I’ll give the edge to Carpenter who very rarely misses even though Stiles certainly deserves credit for her improvement. Do you remember her from the Golden Globes? Click here for a refresher. Goddamn that was bad. But she has a new boyfriend now. And he isn’t married. Some people figure it out quickly. Unlike Claire Danes who... I mean it took her a while and I worry that all the joy was taken from her and she can’t get it back. More on this later.

Emmys Most Miserable: Claire Danes

I feel like whenever I see Claire Danes smile, she doesn’t really mean it. Duana asked the question during the liveblog last night - when was the last time Claire Danes threw her head back and laughed, heartily?

If you watched MSCL, you’ll understand the attachment we feel to her. And therefore the disappointment about what happened with Billy Crudup. It didn’t last, obviously, and it never does, and she’s with Hugh Dancy now (he did not attend with her) and they’re married and stable and she’s back on television and that’s all great and I hate to be bringing up this conversation - again - but I only do it because the toll that she took through it, it left some pretty visible and permanent scars. And I don’t just mean the stories that keep circulating about what a drunk mess she is at these events either...

I saw Dancy at TIFF several times last week. He’s very nice, he was relaxed and comfortable, seemed to have a great time catching up with friends. There was nothing smutty to report. But I will say there’s a noticeable difference in their demeanours. Where he is chill and loose, she’s seems withdrawn and, frankly, rather unhappy a lot of the time. Which is why she can’t come alive in this dress. This is a dress that could totally pop. Only Claire hasn’t been poppy in a long, long time.

While Ali Lohan’s busy trying to turn her face into Anne Hathaway’s, the real Anne Hathaway, inspired by Sabrina, was at work on the set of The Dark Knight Rises in LA. I love the name Sabrina. More people should be called Sabrina. Anne does Audrey a lot more convincingly than Jennifer Love Hewitt, non?

Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne was also shooting yesterday. It has been a while. He looks good. Really good. Not a skinny junkie which is my last recollection of him since The Fighter.

Very much looking forward to watching the chemistry between these two. Is it electric? Is it awkward? Is it awkward because it’s electric? TDKR is due out July 20, 2012. Is it July yet? Once the liveblogs come back after TIFF, we should discuss your expectations. Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man was great until the third installment. If anyone can avoid the 3 curse though, it’s Christopher Nolan.

"She learns for him, will not leave him" reveal

http://www.laineygossip.com/Jennifer_Garner_Ben_Affleck_expecting_third_child_23aug11.aspx

Matt Damon was married in 2005. His daughter Isabella was born 6 months later. Ben Affleck was married in 2005. His daughter Violet was born 6 months later. Matt Damon has 4 children. Ben Affleck is on his way to 3. So far both are fathers of girls only. I suppose it’s not uncommon for lifelong friends to follow similar paths.

As announced yesterday late afternoon, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are expecting. Their publicist confirmed the news via the Associated Press. Every few months or so, even before JLo left Marc Anthony, people always call for an Affleck/Garner split. It’s been happening for years. The rumours they come from gossip columns, tabloids, and even locals in Boston about how the two are on the verge of separation. For that to be true, we would have to accept that offside behaviour automatically results in a breakup. It’s a naive standard. How many times have you seen, in real life, not even in Hollywood life, the “In Spite Of” situation?

I will stay with her in spite of...

I will stay with him in spite of...

What makes you think that for a celebrity, when so much pride is at stake, and publicly, that it would be any different?

Jennifer Garner worships Ben Affleck. There was NEVER a possibility that he was leaving, and there was never a possibility that she would leave him. Remember these photos of the two at the Critics’ Choice Awards in January? It’s not even Photo Assumption, it’s ANY assumption that says she hangs on his every word. Always has. As for when this baby is due...

They won’t say, it’s never been their style. But... if there’s any celebrity who’d actually throw one of those gross Gender Reveal parties that I told you about yesterday, I feel like it would be Taupe.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Christian_Bale_wears_The_Fighter_uniform_everywhere_10jan11.aspx

Are you wearing that to the Oscars?

Christian Bale seems to be into wearing only training jackets during promotion for The Fighter. Here he is, all dressed up, arriving at the Writer’s Guild of America for a screening of The Fighter the other day. Dude, we get it, you’re Method.

The Director’s Guild of America just announced their top 5 today: Darren Aronofsky for Black Swan, Tom Hooper for The King’s Speech, David Fincher for The Social Network, Christopher Nolan for Inception, and David O Russell for The Fighter. So both Nolan and Russell edged out the Coen brothers’ True Grit. Very, very interesting. The DGA has traditionally been the most slamdunk of Oscar predictors. So… we’ll have to see when the Academy announces its nominations 2 weeks tomorrow.

As for Bale, well, he’s the frontrunner, probably the lock, in the Best Supporting category. Have you seen The Fighter? He is SICK ridiculous great in The Fighter. Especially when they show footage from the real guy at the end. I have to say, I liked that movie a lot more than I thought I would. In fact, I really, really liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Even Amy Adams. One of my favourite parts was when the roughneck sisters come for a visit and they all throw down and pull hair on the porch. Please. I will NEVER complain about a roughneck bitch fight in a film.

Anyway, if you’ve seen The Fighter, you might be interested in the video below about the accuracy of the final bout. It’s movie footage with real footage. Amazing.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Emily_Blunt_and_John_Krasinski_spend_weekend_in_Vancouver_with_Matt_Damon_15aug11.aspx

Must have been what Matt Damon and his wife Luciana told Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. And they accepted the invitation to visit them in Vancouver. Here are Emily and John leaving Vancouver on Sunday after a few days in Canada with her Adjustment Bureau co-star. They’ve been hanging out a lot the four of them after shooting that movie together. In New York quite often, and now in Vancouver where Matt’s been working on a new film for a couple of months. Emily and John stayed with the Damons at their rental property; it’s a close friendship. Let’s come back to this in a minute.

Earlier in the day, before leaving for their flight, Matt took Emily and John up the Grouse Grind. He finished well before they did. They were spotted taking the tram back down together though and graciously posed for fans who eventually recognised them.

So you know who hasn’t come to visit the Damons in Vancouver? Not that it means anything but the Afflecks haven’t come to visit the Damons in Vancouver or in New York. Or Miami. At least not in a while. They used to couple-trip all the time. Of course they all have kids and it’s harder to move them all around and break up a routine. Still, their approach to down time is rather different. Hypothetically, if you knew all kinds of secrets about your husband’s best friend, would you have a hard time hanging out with his wife?

Marc will be grovelling

TMZ posted photos yesterday purportedly of Marc Anthony with Jennifer Lopez in Long Island. As you know, she was the one who pushed forward with the break and the announcement. He was trying to hold on. And he still wants to hold on, supposedly in touch repeatedly, at times soft and pleading, at other times hostile, accusatory, and borderline abusive. Getting together for the children sounds like the perfect time to work her down, see if she’ll change her mind.

But here’s how JLo’s publicist responded when TMZ asked for comment about the sighting:

"They are NOT back together -- they were just visiting each other and the children."

I like the capitalisation of NOT. Like, not only were they setting the record straight, but they really, really, REALLY want to set the record straight. That they are NOT BACK TOGETHER. Like the mere suggestion of it is absurd. Like, as if JLo would ever. Which is in line with her publicity playbook since the split, strategically positioning herself in the most sympathetic light without going full victim.

Right now though, the way these patterns work, Marc will be at his best, his most charming, his most romantic, his most appealing. Can JLo keep saying no? Who could she reach out to to help her? Please. If only Gossip could be written like a script.

She learns for him, will not leave him

http://www.laineygossip.com/She_learns_from_him_will_not_leave_him_blind_riddle_10aug11.aspx

So much speculation and it’s been going on for years that she will finally leave him because he simply won’t, ever, change. But do you know the lengths she went through to get him, and keep him? Did you know she enrolled in classes at university, not because she was interested for herself, but because she wanted to be able to talk to him about...things? She wanted to be able to keep up. She wanted HIM to know/believe/think she could keep up. She worships his brain. She wanted to make sure that he was finding her brain adequately stimulating.

They say that he’s been trying to get out of there. He hasn’t tried. There has been no attempt. It’s kinda futile. First because, even if he were to want to bail, everyone in his life would be against it, and has warned him of the consequences, but also because she has told him straight up, on several occasions, “I will never leave you”. This one doesn’t get enough credit for her tenacity.

Tom Brady's hair is much better than it's been in a while. Check him out training with the Patriots yesterday. Yay that the league managed to work things out for a new season! This is for Sarah from Cinesnark whose hard-on for him had been waning. Looks a lot hotter, non?

It's all love and peaches right now at training camp for the Patriots as they're just beginning their honeymoon with Chad Ochocinco. But don't get huffy when I say that everyone not on the bandwagon is wondering how long that is going to last. Some personality problems are incurable over the long term. They say that the New England system fixes attitude. Forever? Maybe that's just my Miami Dolphin allegiance coming through. You can imagine then how choked I am now that Marc Anthony owns part of my team, all things considered, couch quarterback aside. Come on, that one was obvious, wasn't it?

If not for Miami though, I'd rather see the Patriots take the AFC East over the New York Jets. Not only because that's Jacek's team, but also because I hate Rex Ryan.
