I guess there was no truth to the "Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt see a divorce lawyer" story - but there's plenty of truth to the "Brangelina are gonna sue a tabloid" story. See how that works? Wait long enough and lawyers will get involved! Details, via Us Weekly:
[Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are suing a London tabloid for
claiming that they were planning to split. The couple's lawyer, Keith Schillings, tells BBC News that
Pitt, 46, and Jolie, 34, have begun legal proceedings against the News of The
World tabloid, which reported Jan. 24 that the two had agreed to divide their
assets and made arrangements for the custody of their six children, Maddox, 8,
Pax, 6, Zahara, 5, Shiloh, 3, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 18 months.
Schillings tells the BBC that the tabloid report contained
"false and intrusive allegations" and that the paper failed to meet a
demand for a retraction and apology for the article which was "widely
republished by mainstream news outlets."
Schillings says Sorrell Trope, a Los Angeles divorce lawyer
identified by some publications as advising the two, denied claims that he had
been in contact with the couple. "I have had no contact from... Angelina
Jolie and / or Brad Pitt," Trope said in a statement. "I have never
met... your clients or had any involvement with either of them. The foregoing
is true with respect to all other members of this firm." A spokesperson for the News Of The World has yet to comment.
Pitt and Jolie, who are not married, packed on the PDA
Sunday during an appearance at the Super Bowl in Miami. They took their eldest
son, Maddox, to the big game.]
There have been plenty (as in years) of speculation and misinformation about the couple - including too many breakup/split stories to even count. So, why is the couple choosing to sue now? Did this story hit too close to home - or are they sooo happy that the thought of a split is inconceivable to them? Curious, curious timing...
Foxy is flawed! For those of you who don't know - Megan has funky thumbs. Gasp! I guess there is no such thing as perfection - paid for or otherwise. Though ridiculous things come out of those pretty lips, there's no denying that Megan is beautiful. However, those hideous thumbs have fallen short - even by the testosterone-fueled Super Bowl standards. Details, via Celebitchy:
[I try not to pay too much attention to Megan "I say anything
that pops into my pretty little head" Fox. So I only vaguely recall a story in
which it was pointed out that Ms. Fox has kind of strange, stubby thumbs. I
think the term that was used was the Seinfeld-coined "man hands." It seems kind
of petty to point out that an otherwise lovely, albeit vacuous, narcissistic
woman, has weird, ugly thumbs, but there you go. Maybe that's why she's always
sticking her damn thumb in her mouth - to hide it.
Anyway Megan appeared in an ad for Motorola that aired
during the Super Bowl. I briefly considered adding it to our Superbowl
commercial story, but it didn't make anyone's top ten list and I prefer to
ignore Megan where possible. You can't ignore Megan's giant thumbs, though, and
Motorola realized this. They replaced Megan's hands in the commercial with a
hand model with more proportionate digits. My favorite part of this story is
how the NY Daily News quotes experts who give medical reasons for why Megan's
thumbs could be so messed up.]
Yep, it's news! Even the NY Daily News is in on the act:
[If Motorola's Superbowl commercial proved anything Sunday
night, it's that there are one too many bloggers out there who are overly
familiar with Megan Fox's body parts - especially her thumbs. The commercial features the sexy Transformers star au
natural in a bathtub filled with strategically placed bubbles.
According to the Daily Mail, after the commercial aired,
meticulous bloggers noted that Motorola employed a hand double for Fox's
closeups. "Did anyone else catch this?" wrote a blogger for Celebrity
Smack. "I couldn't help but chuckle when they showed a close-up of the Motorola
phone and the hands holding it were definitely not Megan Fox's."
After Fox's promotional movie photos surfaced last summer,
revealing a candid look at her abnormally shaped thumbs, the Daily News learned
that the 23-year-old actress has a hereditary defect known as brachydactyly.
"Literally, what it means is short finger," Dr. Steven
Bendner, a hand surgeon at Beth Israel Medical Center, told us. "The nail of
the thumb in this condition is often very short and wide. "It is usually hereditary. Although it could also have been
caused by frostbite, or it could have been an injury to the growth plate in
childhood."
But don't expect Fox's so-called clubbed thumbs to stand in
the way of her career anytime soon. "In Megan Fox's case, it appears that only the last bone of
the thumb is affected and that it does not involve the joint," says Dr. Richard
Kim, director of congenital hand surgery at Hackensack Medical Center. "For
her, it looks like it's just a cosmetic deficit."]
A glaring cosmetic deficit! How will she ever overcome this malady? Meanwhile, congratulations go out once again to Megan and her amazing ability to garner a massive amount of press for doing absolutely nothing.
So, is the faux-mance between Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler back on? The rumor/publicity mill has been grinding on these two since filming began on The Bounty Hunter - and it's back in high gear as the release of the film draws near. Though Jennifer and Gerard supposedly "made out" at the Golden Globes, Butler was soon off his leash. Gerry smacked lips with a street performerand allegedly tussled with Kate Hudson. Of course, there's also that rumored relationship with Reese Witherspoon! How does he have time for a movie career with all those extracurricular activities? But, wait - there's more! Butler and Aniston reportedly flew to Cabo together to celebrate Jennifer's 41st birthday. Where does all this hanky-panky stand? Details from People magazine, via Yeeeah!:
[She's certainly a creature of habit - and why change a good
thing? Jennifer Aniston headed to one of her favorite getaway
spots, Los Cabos, Mexico, where the actress is getting a jump start celebrating
her 41st birthday - Aniston's big day is actually Feb. 11 - with a group of
friends.
But this year, she had a surprise birthday guest: Gerard Butler, her
costar in the upcoming comedy, The Bounty Hunter. Last month, the two were
spotted laughing and spending a lot of time together at the Golden Globes.
Aniston flew a large group of pals including Butler,
Courteney Cox, her husband David Arquette and Sheryl Crow, whose birthday is
also Feb. 11, to the One & Only Palmilla resort Thursday evening where the
group is staying in a beautiful waterfront villa.]
And here's the less sanitized version from Yeeeah!:
[Jennifer Aniston jetted off to Los Cabos, Mexico to
celebrate her 41st birthday with her standard crew of dried-up old birds this
past weekend, but there was something different this time... something with a
penis. Gasp! There's a name for the fine line between "perinnial bachelorette
looking for a fling" and "hiring a male prostitute because you're a lonely
divorcée who divides her time between mahjong and canasta with the girls and
drawing mustaches and horns on pictures of your ex-husband's new wife," and that
name of that line is Gerard Butler. Frankly, it's all downhill from there.]
Click on the Yeeeah! link above for the Aniston Cabo photos. I'm a Jen fan, so I'm hoping she's in on the plan and enjoying her birthday while working her 'arrangement.' Time will tell - and I have a feeling we won't have to wait long, given Gerard's inability to keep it in his pants.
Well, so much for a Kendra Wilkinson vs. Kim Kardashian smackdown - the New Orleans Saints pretty much wiped the board with the Indianapolis Colts in the fourth quarter. Did that make sense? If so, I'm very proud of myself given how little I know about sports! Anyway, here's a flashback of the off-the-field rivalry, viaPeople magazine, for kicks:
[Let the game begin: Kim Kardashian and Kendra Wilkinson
enjoyed some good-natured trash-talking Friday morning as the their respective
men - Kim's boyfriend, New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush, and
Kendra's husband, Indianapolis Colts player Hank Baskett - prepare to meet in
Super Bowl XLIV on Sunday.
"This is the real showdown, baby. Let the claws come
out!" Ryan Seacrest said, announcing his interview with the two women on
his KIIS-FM radio show. Kardashian got into the spirit of things by kiddingly
threatening, "I'm going to poison your coffee!"
Wilkinson replied by taunting Kardashian about rumors that
she and Bush planned to get engaged if his team wins the game on Sunday,
something the E! reality star has denied. Seacrest himself referred to
Kardashian as Bush's "soon to be fiancée - I think."
Although both women are camping out in the same Miami hotel
as their dudes, their pre-game rituals are quite different. "[The players are] staying a couple floors up from
me," said Wilkinson. "[Hank] comes in here with me and spends time
with me and the baby - his 'daddy time.' " Baskett previously told
reporters that his 7-week-old son, Hank Baskett IV, would watch the game from a
skybox with his mom even if he doesn't remember it.
Meanwhile, Kardashian will enjoy visits from Bush: The
couple will have dinner together, then return to the hotel for in-room
massages, but Bush will stay in a separate room, following a team rule.
On game day, Wilkinson's wardrobe will be a Colts jersey
that says "Mrs. Baskett," while Kardashian said she's
"superstitious" about wearing a team jersey and will simply don a
T-shirt, jeans and boots. "I always wear something black and gold, though,"
says Kim, referring to the Saints' team colors. As for who will win, Wilkinson predicts a 27-17 Colts
victory, but Kardashian - again, citing her superstition - refused to predict
the final score.
Still, Wilkinson couldn't resist another jibe, saying,
"I'm just wondering who's going to be holding the baby while I'm out there
on the field [after the game] running and jumping around!"]
Surprisingly, Kendra got pretty close on the score - just flip that win to the Saints and add a few points. Girl should play the Vegas odds, if that whole reality television thing doesn't work out. Meanwhile, enjoy one of the many classic Super Bowl ads. If there're millions of dollars available to spend on this, why exactly is the economy in the tank? How about sharing more than a soda, Coca-Cola.

Yes, probably too many to count. The two people in particular that I'm thinking of happen to be Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodreguiz (aka The Rod). Frankly, just by hearing those two names linked, I have virtually no doubt that this happened - I wouldn't put it past either one of them. Details from Ok! magazine, via Celebitchy:
[Although Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees may have
called it quits with former girlfriend Kate Hudson, the baseball pro was caught
getting pretty cozy with Cameron Diaz at the CAA Party in Miami on Saturday.
Pre-partying for today's Super Bowl with friends Tom Cruise
and Katie Holmes at the W Hotel, Cameron seemed to be having a blast with A-Rod
as the two danced the night away. "They were having a great time," a partygoer tells OK! while
Cameron was, "grinding on A-Rod."
According to the partygoer, a tipsy Cameron was being very,
"fun and flirty," with the Yankee player sitting on the couch beside her as
she, "was dancing by herself and then turning into [Alex] some."
Meanwhile Tom and Kate snuggled at their table as Cameron
was also spotted in between the two chatting when she wasn't hanging out with
the baseball star. "Katie and Cameron were getting along great," the witness
tells OK!. Jessica Alba, Carrie Underwood, and Alex's team mate Derek
Jeter, rumored to possibly be engaged to Minka Kelly, were also on hand at the
soiree.]
Both Cameron and A-Rod are known for random and frequent hook-ups - as well as high profile flings. (Anyone remember Cameron's date with Maroon Five's Adam Levine?) I think Cam may also have a little thing for champagne - which definitely makes her a kindred spirit. On a random note, I love that Katie and Cameron were having a great time together! Tom wouldn't have it any other way - literally. Celebitchy makes a great point - Cam does seem to make a habit of crossing peen paths with Kate Hudson. Kate has reportedly hooked up with Justin Timberlake (a Diaz ex) on the down low more than once. Would that be enough reason for Cam to hookup with Kate's ex, Alex? Or was Diaz simply just having nothing but a good time?

I knew there was something... off about Gwyneth Paltrow's recent GOOP newsletter. Could it be that she claims to eat meat? Yes, that had something to do with it. This dyed-in-the wool macrobiotic dieter wouldn't let a cow touch her lips if her life depended on it. However, there was something else niggling in the back of my brain, but I dismissed it - as I often do with all things Annoying Paltrow. And then I read this awesome post from Lainey and, thanks to her, all the pieces fell into place. Details, via Lainey Gossip:
[As you know, Gwyneth Paltrow and Stella McCartney are tight.
OF COURSE she had to feature the McCartney Family's project. Of course she did.
But she had to swallow some sh-t in the process. You will note - Kate Bosworth
is in the photo, that starving desperate homewrecking hag who called herself a
friend of the GOOPs. And Gwyneth had to include the photo. Does this mean the
cheating allegations, Chris Martin kissing Kate Bosworth at a U2 concert in
October, does this mean it was all just a tabloid fraud? That nothing
happened. Please. You must consider the dates.
The official launch event for Meat Free Monday when this
photo was taken was on June 15, 2009 FOUR MONTHS BEFORE the infidelity report
broke. If this photo had been taken 2 weeks ago, sure, I'd be all doubty about
it too. But it's over 6 months old. And it happens to be the group shot
promoting Meat Free Monday wants to use. Which means editorially Gwyneth had no
choice. It's not like she could crop it. Kate was in, like, every image trying
to make herself relevant. And G had to please McCartney. She chose to please
McCartney over satisfying her own grudge. But she was raised for this. She
was born to it. She was taught to consider the bigger picture, to consider
associations, to nurture connections for future favours and long term benefits
before hasty emotional decisions, to always save face, to never let them see
you hurting. It stings, yes, but she made her decision. They are moving
ahead. They are buying more houses and mashing them all together. They are
perfect on the outside.
Oh and by the way? While Chris Martin announced that he'd be
suing, legal action still has not actually been taken against Star Magazine for
the cheating story.]
Click on the GOOP link above for the Meat Free Monday photos. Jesus! Kate Fuckin' Bosworth gets the top spot in the GOOP newsletter! There are two theories as to why: one is Lainey's, which has Gwyn taking the high road for the sake of saving her face and promoting the McCartney's cause. The second is my thought: by having a photo of Bosworth on Paltrow's very public newsletter is Gwyneth's way of proving that no infidelity took place. Why would a wife run a picture of her husband's alleged mistress on her blog; if not to look like she's refuting rumors? Funny - I was just thinking about the state of Kate the other day when I was writing about her former costar, Jim Sturgess. I briefly thought about her alleged fling with Chris Martin - and then the thought went away. I didn't put two and two together. Math is hard! Goddamn - it took a lollipop with a head to make Paltrow's newsletter interesting. This is almost as fun as Gwyneth's very obvious Winona Ryder slam...
The only question is - who will be her lucky partner? There are so many options to choose from... I'm thinking John Mayer should complete the run on this train. It's really great to know that the Health Department has no problem with this setup. The restaurant's decision that is, not John and Lindsay. That's at threat-level orange.
I guess there was no truth to the "Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt see a divorce lawyer" story - but there's plenty of truth to the "Brangelina are gonna sue a tabloid" story. See how that works? Wait long enough and lawyers will get involved! Details, via Us Weekly:
