So Lea Michele, that girl on that show that I’ve never watched, has made a bunch of statements about body image and weight and looks and other things that are just plain dangerous for a teen star who recently lost of a ton of weight to be making. While her message seems to be good, her actions don’t really match up. What happens when an actress who looks like she weighs 110 pounds says that she’s trying to give girls of the world self-confidence by embracing her flaws? A bunch of totally idiotic statements.

From PopEater:

On why being Italian has freed her of Hollywood’s pressure to be perfect: “I come from a big Italian family and the pressure is not really anything I’ve been raised to feel.”

On her ‘Jewish nose’: “I’ve always been proud of my body, my Jewish nose and all of that. Hollywood’s Hollywood, but that’s not going to change.”

On why her ethnicity almost kept her off of television: “I never really thought there would be a place on television for me. I have a very specific look. I’m Jewish. I’m Italian.”

On Barbara Streisand’s ‘Jewish nose’: “I remember looking up to Barbara Streisand, and thinking, ‘Finally, someone who has a Jewish nose, who didn’t get a nose job.’”

On what she hopes all of this talk of dissing her ethnicity and acting like her body is normal will do: “If that is inspiring and can give young girls a sense of confidence, that’s great.”

First of all, I love that this chick says she looked at Babs and said, “Finally.” As if there was ever a point in her life where Barbara Streisand was not a super, mega-famous star. Babs has been famous since peanut butter was invented.

Secondly, is this chick high? No place for unconventional looking women in television and film? Nicki Blonsky? Jennifer Grey? Heather Matarazzo? You guys have anything to say about that? I bet Jennifer Grey does. I bet Jennifer Grey would tell you that lopping off her “Jewish nose” was what actually killed her career.

What I think Miss Lea needs to do is go rent herself a copy of Precious and reevaluate her definition of a unique looking woman making it in Hollywood, ’cause despite what a strange flower she thinks she is, I’m pretty sure I saw fifteen girls just like her at the mall last week. Dumbass.

Teri Hatcher stopped using botox and from the looks of it, she also stopped using her damn mind. I found a Facebook album of nine photos of Teri in terrycloth (like, she literally just got out of the shower), talking about the state of her face and botox usage. Um, perhaps she took the name “Facebook” a bit too literally?

The above photo had the following caption:

Out of the bath getting ready for bed. Thought about all those damn critics of my face. Love it or hate it, my face that is, no surgery, no implants, no matter what “they” say. Decided I’d shoot myself in to reveal some truths about “beauty” and hope it makes you all easier on yourself.

Kanye performed with some of his friends at a celebrity-packed private show last night, but the highlight of the evening wasn’t the performance of his new single “Mama’s Boyfriend” (although the song’s pretty freakin’ great.) No, the best thing about Kanye’s performance from last night his cover of Rihanna’s chorus “Run This Town”, which lead into a story about how when he saw Rihanna perform earlier in the evening.

In the video above, Kanye says he was so moved by watching someone who he considered to be his baby sister performing a flawless stage show with full production in Madison Square Garden that it actually made him a little weepy. And you know how hilarious it is when Kanye talks about his emotions. It’s like watching a robot that’s been trained to feel in a therapy session.

Did you guys catch Dina Lohan on the Today show this morning?  I didn’t, because I’m not a masochist, but luckily there are clips and quotes floating around the interwebs so I could catch myself up on whatever nonsense Lindsay’s mom is currently spewing.

First of all, Dina is still going on about how Lindsay didn’t deserve the sentence she got, because she’s “not condoning drinking and driving,” but Lindsay’s “changed.  She’s grown up considerably.”  Because that’s how the law works, right, if you apologize and write a 500 word essay on what you’ve learned, then you don’t ever have to account for laws you’ve broken.

Dina goes on to throw around the word “propaganda” in reference to the media coverage of Lindsay, mention a book she may write about her experience of being famous in New York before Lindsay was born (really?), and to state that she doesn’t even know what being a stage mom means.

Oh, and she also says that while in jail, Lindsay made friends with murderers.  If I don’t get that Lindsay and Alexis Neiers sitcom, then I want a painting of Lindsay hanging out with some killers, at least.

So, Michelle Williams has been blowing it up big time over the past few years, just churning movies out like butter, and the buck did not stop with Blue Valentine. Her latest project? A movie called Take This Waltz, which, according to IMDB (’cause I hadn’t heard of it ’til I saw the behind-the-scenes stills) is supposed to be a “funny, bittersweet and heart-wrenching story about a woman struggling to choose between two different types of love.”

I love independent films, and moreover, I’ve been a big fan of ‘major’ celebrities like Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling (Lars and the Real Girl? Awesome.) doing a lot of underground movies over the past few years. It’s bringing cinema back as an art, not just as, “Hey, let’s bring Jennifer Aniston or Cameron Diaz into some random movie plot and make it a zany romantic comedy, OK, but a different zany romantic comedy, not the same old-same old that we’ve seen sixty-five-thousand times already.” Oh, wait. Dammit.

Yeah, and in case you couldn’t tell from the photos, Sarah Silverman’s in the movie, too. And Seth Rogen, though he’s actually not pictured. But I could really give a crap less about either of them, anyway.

And no, not with his estranged wife, with whom divorce hasn’t even been finalized yet. Remember I wrote this story last month about ‘Who’d want to leave Frasier Crane?‘ Well, it looks like his wife — who I originally pit the blame on because she was a former Playboy Playmate, and fidelity usually isn’t in their vocabulary (thanks for that, Hef) — may have actually left Grammer because Grammer impregnated a 29-year-old girlfriend by the name of Kayte Walsh, which is now confirmed news, by the way. Walsh is a British Air flight attendant, whose father recently addressed the rumors that his daughter and Grammer were shacking up.

I mean, I know that a lot of people don’t give a crap about Kelsey Grammer, and he hasn’t been too relevant in mainstream celebrita (yes, I made that word up) since Cheers and then Frasier, but you’ve gotta love it when stars go all Jerry Springer and have children with people who could be their daughters, behind their wife’s naked-posing-for-men’s-magazines backs.
