renee-zellweger

Yahoo! Movies posted a slide show of celebrities entitled “We’re Just Not That Into Them”. Clever, Yahoo. The premise of this list being movies stars that used to be American Sweethearts and now, well, not so much. Some notables from the list:

RENEE ZELLWEGER 
Biggest Box Office Gross: “Chicago” — $170,687,518
Most Recent Box Office Gross: “New in Town” — $8,628,291 (and counting)

soooooo true. When I look at her now I am inexplicably frightened. What happened to Bridget?! 

KATE HUDSON
Biggest Box Office Gross: “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” — $105,813,373
Most Recent Box Office Gross: “Bride Wars” — $54,298,710

I can’t believe “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” made close to $106 million. 

JESSICA ALBA
Biggest Box Office Gross: “Fantastic Four” — $281,576,461
Most Recent Box Office Gross: “The Eye” — $78,807,677

Honestly, I never though Alba was much of an actress. She’s got the emoting power of a wet sponge. I’m assuming she’s still famous based on her assets as opposed to her uh…talent. She needs to follow Charlize Theron and make a “Monster” or something. 

 

For the rest of the list click here. Someone is missing though, that shrew Katherine Heigl. Granted, her reign came and went in a space of a few months, but the point is perfectly valid. I went from seeing her in “Knocked Up” and being like “awwwww, I want to be her frieeeeend.” To then listening to her whine about misogynistic writers and stage pompous impromptu withdrawals from award consideration. Now I just want to throw a drink on her.

anne-hathaway

Anne Hathaway has Suga Mama disease. She seems to have some sort of internal homing device that draws her to the wrong sort of man. You know, the one that “never has money/always forgets his wallet and needs you to pay but that’s okay because he loves you so much.”

First, there was master con-man douche Raffaello Follieri, whose rent she reported paid among other things, and now this new guy, Adam Shulman.  Star Magazine reports:

“Adam is not a swindler like Raffaello, but the truth is the truth: Adam is far from Mr. Moneybags, so Anne has to buy everything,” an insider tells Star. “She leads an extravagant lifestyle — she has to fly all over the globe and show up at black-tie events. The only way for Adam to fit into her life is if she foots the bill.”

Still, adds the source, “He feels bad that Anne has to pay, so he does little things for her, like buy her books, give her love notes and cook her meals — little things to make her feel special.”

 I won’t go so far as to say this Adam character is a bad egg. However, someone as beautiful and talented as Anne should be able to find someone on her level – both intellectually and financially. She’s too young and too pretty to be settling into this boytoy dynamic so soon.

andy-dick

And now he is going to scrape what’s left of his life together!

Hooray!

Andy told Entertainment Tonight that he has “learned his lesson”.

“When I drink I turn into a moron. I think I’m being funny and clever, but I look back on the video tape and I border on retardation.”

*nods* Yes, retardation. Exactly, Andy. That’s what we all saw too.

Andy Dick was arrested last July and pled guilty to misdemeanor assault and marijuana possession this past October. Since then he has been fitted with an ankle bracelet and will appear on this coming season of VH1′s Sober House. Hopefully he can get his shit together and stay clean.

miley-cyrus-3

Miley Cyrus attended the 51st Annual GRAMMY Awards – Salute To Icons: Clive Davis, and while at first what she’s wearing appears to simply be an over eager attempt at sexiness embossed with the unlikely image of Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast, once she turns to the side you see this:

miley-cyrus-1

 

Is that a bustle?!  A bustled mini dress with pockets?! Miley, I know you’re anxious to get this “potential racist” stench monkey off your back, but adorning your backside with three extra yards of fabric in the form of ruffles (especially when said fabric could have been better used to cover the rest of your exposed thigh area) is not going to cut it.

More people on the red carpet of this event, including Fantasia (in vintage?), Paula, Taylor Swift, and Leona Lewis below.

jennifer-aniston

 In the upcoming issue of Marie Claire magazine during a group interview with her He’s Just Not That Into You co-stars Jennifer Aniston admits to keeping an odd memento from each of her major relationships.

“I still have the cassette tapes of messages from my first boyfriend, my second boyfriend, my husband . . . It’s like saving love letters.” 

I’m really glad that she’s a self-sufficient woman who is totally over her ex and doesn’t need a man to complete her because if I were a dude and heard this I’d run in the other direction. Actual love letters are one thing. Small trinkets or stuffed animals are totally acceptable. But to admit that you keep old phone messages in an obsolete media format is a wee bit disturbing, no? 

I wonder if Mayer is going to go through all her shit searching for his tape. He’ll pretend not to care, but you know he’s a vulnerable, gawky nerd boy on the inside and it would tear him apart to know he didn’t make the Aniston Archives.

demetri-martin_l

Never has dry humor made me so wet!  Skipabeet and her lovely sister represented for EVIL BEET on Thursday night on the Lower East Side in NYC at the premier of Comedy Central’s new show ‘Important Things with Demetri Martin.’  The party was sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon which made the night even better.

What happened in our post-college years that the clever, dorky guy–who you barely noticed lives two doors down–is suddenly a DOOR bell (read: adorable)?!?!  A fox even!  Demetri Martin’s new show is not in-your-face, it’s not offensive, but it’s not like any comedy show you’ve ever seen before.  It’s sort-of a Wes Anderson movie meets The Chris Farley Show.  Watch it on Comedy Central, Wednesday February 11th at 10:30 pm/9:30 central.  Check it out!
