It never fails. Anytime actors have to pretend to be in love with each other they actually fall in love with each other. The news broke that Freida Pinto may have not only had a secret husband/fiance, but also that she had allegedly dropped him via the international cold shoulder. She could have at least pulled a Joe Jonas and at least sent a text, but I digress. People are now busily speculating that perhaps Freida’s change of heart towards her mate is due to a budding romance with her Slumdog Millionaire co-star Dev Patel. Dev is younger than Freida, but he is legal. 

They look like just friends to me, but these things have been known to happen. Usually when an actor/actress suddenly dumps the spouse they’ve already got the replacement on the horizon.

The Independent Spirit Awards are taking place today in Santa Monica. I give credit to Mickey for making it out after the tragic death of the only living creature that would never deny having made out with him. Unlike that pin-up wannabe Evan Rachel Wood, Loki was LOYAL. 

Side note: WTF did Mary Kate stuff into the shoulders of her shapeless sack dress??

More Arrivals:

Selma Blair has found love on the set of Kath & Kim. Co-star and onscreen husband, Mikey Day, has somehow managed to convince her of his worthiness and now they’re reportedly dating.

My only previous experience with Day has to do with reruns of Wild ‘n’ Out on MTV playing in the background while I fold clothes and clean house. And even when I’m not actually paying attention to him, his voice grates on my nerves. Selma seems to like the quirky ones though, so who knows – maybe they’ll stick this one out.

After the Phelpsy scandal I guess Martha finally decided it was safe to come clean and reveal some of her more private interests. Over on EW’s PopWatch blog they’ve received an email stating that Stewart’s upcoming show would be “entirely dedicated to the world of pot.”

*blink*

Reeeeeally? Somehow that fits. Judging from what I know of Martha, she’s wound pretty tight. The only thing that could possibly remove the giant spatula from her ass on the daily is a well-timed bong rip. She probably gets the giggles and bakes. Her guest for the episode will be Jimmy Fallon, which makes sense because I always attributed his inability to get through a sketch on SNL without laughing to his being completely and utterly high the entire time. I hear he’s going to bring her “brownies” YUM.

Conan O’Brien bid us all farewell Friday night. It was his last night on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. After 16 years of hosting he’s hung up his hip strings, and put away the Walker: Texas Ranger button. Fortunately, the goodbyes are temporary. He takes over the Tonight Show starting June 1.

Thank the lord for that. TV wouldn’t be the same without Conan’s debonair side part and strawberry tinged locks. I think I’d lose all faith in mankind if I lived in a world with Carson Daly was still hosting a show while Conan got yanked.

I can’t tell if this is a PETA event, or a drag show? The tags on the pics assure me that this is, indeed, a PETA event held at a club called ‘Last Days of Decadence”. A PETA event with a liberal sprinkle of drag mixed in. They managed to tie it all together with the “Fur is a Drag” banner at the end. I love drag shows (the lashes, the sequins, the lights!), and I love animals. I just never thought of mixing the two together.

I don’t mean to bitch or anything but um…how is wandering about looking dazed in paint splattered fur, bad wigs, and outrageous fab-u-lous make up helping animals again? I understand that the fur has been symbollically ruined, but they’re still wearing it and it’s still fur….

 Perhaps someone could explain it to me.
