“I find Audrey Hepburn fantastically twee. Twee is whimsy without wit. It is mimsy-mumsy sweetness without any kind of bite. And that’s not for me. She can’t sing and she can’t really act, I’m afraid. I’m sure she was a delightful woman – and perhaps if I had known her I would have enjoyed her acting more, but I don’t and I didn’t, so that’s all there is to it really.”
From my experience, people generally have two settings in terms of Audrey Hepburn: fanatical or indifferent. I fall on the indifferent side, but I know several people who would foam at the mouth and possibly seize after seeing Emma’s quote. What side are you guys on?
And how spectacular is that photo? Emma Thompson is just the best. I’d take her over Audrey any day – there, I said it.
Although we’re all well aware of how heated things got between Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller this winter (you may remember something about him holding her at knife point on Christmas?), we’re just finding out that Brooke reported several other instances of violence to the police that day.
Officer Rick Magnuson was one of the three police officers to arrive on the scene and his report is just now being circulated. In it, he writes about the violent behavior that Brooke said she’d been a victim of.
“I asked [Sheen] if he ever harmed Mueller in the past. [Sheen] stated that approximately two months ago, in California, Mueller accused him of sleeping with prostitutes. [Sheen] stated that he denied this allegation, which escalated into a ‘huge fight.’ He added that when Mueller attempted to leave the argument, he grabbed her by the wrist, causing her to fall to the ground. [Sheen] added that Mueller hit the back of her head on a piece of furniture as she fell to the ground. [Sheen] stated that Mueller was injured when her head contacted the furniture. [Sheen] added that neither he nor Mueller reported this incident to law enforcement. [Sheen] added that Mueller received medical treatment for her head injury. [Sheen] added that the Mueller’s injury was not intentional, adding that she accidentally hit her head as he was trying to restrain her.
She was very adamant that [Sheen] intentionally hurt her by throwing her to the ground, like a ‘rag doll.’”
The fight resulted in Brooke needing a CAT scan.
While Sheen’s actions are unforgivable, you have to wonder what the hell happened in order for things to escalate the way they did. We knew before that the fight supposedly started over a song and a gift from Santa, but it’s so much worse than it sounds. According to the same police report, the couple got into a screaming match over the Train song “Drops of Jupiter”. Yes, for real.
According to the police reports, Sheen told officers that he and his daughter “share an affinity for both astronomy” and the Train tune.
“He bought two tracking telescopes; one for his daughter and one for him so they could both look at the same point in the universe at the same time, as a way of staying connected,” Magnuson wrote. “[Sheen] added that Mueller was jealous of this relationship with his daughter. He stated that Mueller said, ‘You have a song you share with your daughter, but not one with me.’ [Sheen] replied, ‘It’s my daughter, can I have this moment?’ [Sheen] was emotional while telling this story.”
Well, that’s just beyond sad.
There’s no end to this story, really. Charlie and Brooke are addicts and their presence in each other’s lives has been nothing but toxic. While the two have attempted to reconcile, I’m afraid that it’s only a matter of time until they go off the rails again. Here’s hoping one of them decides to get out before their twins are old enough to remember being around this kind of sick relationship.
Before Linds went to the slammer (and now rehab), she was working on Inferno, the biopic of Linda Lovelace, the star of one of the most famous pornographic films ever, Deep Throat. We’ve already seen some photos from the movie’s first day of shooting back in May, but in a video only on People.com (seriously, no embeds), we get to see some behind-the-scenes footage of the actress at work.
It’s so freakin’ obvious why she took the role once you hear Lindsay talking about Linda. She describes her as, “an innocent girl who got trafficked into a situation.” Hmmm. Sounds kind of familiar, huh? And you know, Lohan can act. She always has been able to. If she had her shit together back when she was booking serious roles, she probably could have gotten at least a Golden Globe by now.
I don’t care for what seems to be the aesthetic of the film so far, but I hope that for Lindsay’s sake it’s worthy of the performance she’ll give. She needs this to go well.
And yet another perfect example of people not being able to leave well enough alone. Lea Michele, who I thought to be a breath of fresh air — physically, and because she is was built like a normal human being that liked to eat cheeseburgers and gravy fries and kick back a milkshake once in awhile — has gone the “Hollywood Route,” and has lost about two-thirds of her body weight in what’s obviously an effort to blend in with the rest of the twigs that have better jobs that she does.
Michele was photographed at the recent Teen Choice Awards and after much searching, I finally found out where. See that tiny green blades-of-grass dress? She’s in that. I know, I know, her limbs and emaciated face almost blend in with the background, and especially when she turns to the side, but keep your eyes on the green dress, I promise, guys — she’s there.
Sorry, Lea. You don’t look great, or “coltish,” or fierce. You just look like another stupid girl who’s gone to extremes in order to fit into an exclusive club.
I would like to tell you that the term “retard” is very offensive to me. I am not offended because I ASSUME it would offend someone who has mental retardation. I am offened on how the word came to...
I am not offended that Rosie has a fear or anxiety of LP. I feel that when someone knows very little about things and or people they tend to be anxious. Think about it if you had never been around someone...
