Quote of the day - Jason Patric to @EW: “I was working with Ashley Judd, and she is a nightmare. She’s lazy, selfish, arrogant.” AMAZING.

[Comment From Patty ]
I love Penelope Cruz, but I'm not sure I'll ever get over the fact that she dated Tom Cruise. The Xenu! The ambiguous sexuality! What happened there? Was it a completely artificial relationship?
Lainey: Patty - to a point. I think she figured it out later. But the more I hear about her and Javier, the more it points to the fact that they're assholes. They're rude, ungrateful, unkind. The stories, there are so many of them. Of Javier especially being horrible to staffers. In LA he lost it on a wrangler just because she couldn't see down an aisle and tripped and delayed him for a minute. Every week I'm hearing some sh-t about his behaviour. It's so disappointing.

Why is Javier Bardem so rude in real life? Is Penelope the same way?

Lainey: April - I have no idea what is up his ass. But he's a dick. And it's broken my heart. Penelope, on the occasions I've seen her, is not that way.

16 & 18

Oh the modern teen.

So TMZ caught Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez at the IHOP in Philly the other day. Apparently they were on a date and held hands and giggled. Over pancakes. Sounds about right, right? Click here if you haven’t yet seen the photo of them leaving arm in arm. If you have a 12 year old who seems particularly forlorn today, this would be why.

Bieber is 16. Selena is 18.

When I was 18, there was no f-cking way I was dating a 16 year old. When I was 18, it was either my grade or much older. It was only when I got older that I started testing the limits of gay math. But this is not the point. The point is, for the modern teenage girl, does Bieber’s fever fame trump the younger age gap? If you polled ten 18 year old regular civilian girls right now, and asked them if they’d date Bieber, two years their junior, would they say yes because he’s THE Justin Bieber? Like, check out that picture. Because she has to hunch to be as short as he is.

There’s also the matter of this generation and their lover-sharing. Everyone in every friend circle ends up, at one time or another, messing around with everyone else. Taylor Lautner/Selena Gomez/Taylor Swift. Nikki Reed/Robert Pattinson/Kristen Stewart. Vanessa/Dan/Serena/Nate/Blair/Chuck. Ebola Hilton/Brody Jenner/Avril Lavigne. Now Demi Lovato/Justin Bieber/Selena Gomez. There are SO many examples. But it makes an already tense Lovato/Gomez situation even more so, non?

Photos attached of Selena and Bieber performing at the Jingle Ball the other night after their date.

She’s long had a reputation for being absolute hell to work with. I mean like straight up crazy. Leaves her sh-t, sometimes literally, everywhere, specifies exact times when people can or cannot talk to her, is foaming at the mouth insane one minute, calm and collected the next. Lately her opportunities have dried up. And this is a good example of why.

Press junket. A handler has to make sure she wakes up in the morning. Because she’s not a proper adult? She finds her completely out of it. Has to put her in the shower and HOLD HER UP. Picture that please. A grown woman having to be physically SUPPORTED in the shower to make sure she can go and do her JOB. She then had to be spoon fed her breakfast. And she had to be dressed. Like, let’s put on your socks! Finally they get her to the point where she can be seen in public. A journalist is soon expected for an interview. Through it all she’s still a f-cking zombie.

Soon as the reporter comes into the room though, a switch goes off. She’s alive. She’s engaging. She can speak in proper sentences. And you can imagine, for the people who’ve experienced this, who’ve had to work with her, who have to manage the unpredictability of this, how scary it must be, how utterly unsettling, even more unsettling than most of her peers. And in her business, that’s a pretty high standard.

Everyone’s expecting the next wave of straight up psycho to hit any time now, or at least just as soon as her current romance sours. Especially those who had experience with it last time, seeing as she keeps picking men who inevitably step out on her.

Her ex was cheating, and he wasn’t careful about. Word got out to a magazine because the other girl talked. She of course lost her f-cking sh-t. Complete meltdown. Which is not unusual, no. But you don’t let them see, right? You should never let them see.

What did she do?

Mega A List star calls up the editor. Of a tabloid. And wails her ass. WAILS. Screaming, cursing, threatening… and then this:

“I hope that bitch gets cancer. You can print that.”


Embarrassing, right?

Amazingly, they spared her the humiliation and did not publish the quote. But the publicist owed some favours after that. And next time, with a new regime, she may not be so lucky.

Young pretty star lives the fast life, parties hard on the circuit. A lot of access, a lot of money, not much responsibility, not unlike so many privileged twentysomethings, only his problem is that the rage comes out when he uses. On several occasions, he’s been so violent, they’ve had to hold him back from causing serious damage to his friends. On one occasion, he beat the sh-t out of one of his boys. The aftermath is always tearful, he’s always ashamed by his behaviour which, sadly, stems from the shame he feels about the fact that he’d prefer dating men, but is afraid to admit it. He resorts to sneaking around, is paranoid that he’ll be found out, and is frustrated that he has to go to such lengths to hide his hookups. It doesn’t help that professionally he’s been cautioned against being honest about being gay.

Ali! I’m sorry to hear about the pipe, the flood, that beautiful kitchen!!! A riddle for your troubles? How about this? He strayed with an actress on the set of his recent film, and is now desperate to keep it from his wife, who suspected, but who was won over by a family holiday and his new doting attitude. Only now the other woman is upset, threatening to overturn the peace, so he’s been calling in favours everywhere else to get her cast in another movie she’s not actually right for, just to get her to shut up. The favours he’s using up however could jeopardise his own project, and the people who are counting on his participation are getting increasingly anxious that he might f-ck it up for everyone else. Major stress and sleepless nights. Not unlike how it would be to be quarantined to one room with four kids and a dog!

      there’s an actor, a popular and celebrated one, who has been so universally abusive to handlers lately, from city to city, to those he knows and perfect strangers, that everyone is scrambling for reassignment now that his reputation has travelled with him. Some have even offered to work with lowly C and D listers instead because his cruelty has been horrible, even by Hollywood standards, to the point where there are those who think he’s suffering from mental disease. No, no, let’s not give him an out. He’s a dick. Plain. It’s not Sean Penn.

      Dear Gossips,

      The thing about denials is what ISN’T being denied. Especially in a public statement. As I mentioned last week, some gossip stories take a while to play out. In the end though, they will unfold the way they should. Because most of the time celebrities are terrible liars.

      Dexter Affair? Julia Stiles Fires Back About Michael C. Hall

      Thu., Dec. 16, 2010 1:54 PM PST by Marc Malkin

      As soon as Dexter costars Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter announced their real-life marriage was over, the rumors began.

      The internet was flooded with claims that Hall has been romancing Julia Stiles, who plays his love interest on the hit Showtime series.

      So, what's the real deal? Read on to find out…

      Stiles insists she and Hall are not seeing each other.

      "I have absolutely nothing to do with the split between Michael and Jennifer," Stiles says in a statement released by her rep. "We are good friends and enjoyed working together. This is a personal matter between them, and we should respect their privacy. Although I too prefer to keep my private life, private—I felt compelled to dispel the rumors I was somehow the cause for this matter."

      Hall and Carpenter told Entertainment Weekly early this week that they were divorcing after almost two years of marriage, explaining that they have "been separated for some time."

      Divorce and Nomination

      I guess that’s how it rolls in Hollywood.

      Access Hollywood broke the exclusive last night – that Dexter stars Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter are through. So they released a statement confirming it, claiming it’s been over between them for some time now. Awkward. The work situation is very awkward. Apparently she’s been unable to keep her sh-t down on the set, yapping to cast, crew, anyone about their problems, making people uncomfortable. And they’re worried how these two will manage their relationship now that it’s out in the open that it’s over. She’s expected to file divorce papers imminently.

      Even though breakups are no big deal in Hollywood, because what lasts anymore?, this one felt more sad than most. He had cancer and they fought through that, and he’s fine now but their marriage became a casualty. This is why I’m so superstitious. Nothing is ever free. Something good happens, something must be sacrificed. And on the heels of his divorce announcement, he just received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor. Life is terrifying.

      Here’s Michael the other day arriving at LAX.

      So many breakups. Yesterday it was Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter. Today it’s two names on a muuuuch bigger scale. This article is about Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds. But come back tomorrow and I’ll have more for you on Hall and Carpenter. It’s complicated. Probably a lot more complicated than Scarjo and Ryan.

      I mentioned yesterday that there are a few more details about one of the recent splits announced in Hollywood this week. Turns out there was someone else: his love interest this season on his tv show. Their chemistry was so crazy and so evident to everyone that writer and producers, seeing it play out on set, actually cranked up their sex scenes to capture it for show. Her career has seen a resurgence since.

      Eventually the two fell in love. They were together, very close, at a Halloween party in New York this fall hosted by a famously controversial writer (this isn’t a super important detail) and those who observed them that night are not surprised now that he’s ended it with his wife.
