The Mirror couldn’t help but point out that she “looks a bit puffy.”

And Yahoo! News even went so far as to “blame” her tired appearance on her relationship with Ashton Kutcher.

Good lord. I’m just so thankful that the lovely Ms. Kunis looks tired sometimes, too. Maybe if we didn’t Photoshop our celebrities to hell, people wouldn’t be so shocked when they see photos of how they really look.

Mila Kunis is making the media rounds lately since Oz, The Great and Powerful is coming out soon, which means she’s giving a lot of soundbites to various publications, this time to Marie Claire. And again, she’s chatting about how acting is great and all, but she really wishes she could just stay at home and still get paid for it.

“To say my life hasn’t changed would be a lie. It has changed, I don’t really know how. I can’t complain, not that I am complaining, but I can’t leave my house as freely as I used to. But I’ve also traveled a lot for work. I have been very lucky.

“I want to explore other parts of this industry to see what aspects of it I can get myself into, so that I can… work out of home maybe? Like producing. Then I can have, like, a life, in one location.”

“I don’t think I can do this three-movies-a-year thing. It’s too much. There comes a point in your life where you want to be… home.

“I am not here to appease the world. No, listen, it’s the truth – I don’t know. I guess to figure it out and have fun doing it. You get very limited time in the grand scheme of things.”

Well, we know Mila’s not one to “appease the world” and generally doesn’t give a shit what anyone thinks of her, but she’s got enough money now that she could just, you know, take a break and rediscover her passion for the craft of acting or whatever if she’s getting fed up with it. I do feel her on the being home, thing, though. There’s nowhere I’d rather be… ever.

Oz the Great and Powerful is probably going to be really good in a way that’s completely disconnected from the original Wizard of Oz and that’s okay. I mean, come on – admitted professional deep-throater James Franco as the Wizard? Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz? I’m going to see it (or download it), for sure.

One thing that will definitely not be great about it is that Mariah Carey is doing the theme song. It’s a new track called ‘Almost Home’ that sounds like a demo she would have recorded in 1987 before getting a deal and a decent producer. While the full thing won’t be out until tomorrow, you can listen to a 30 second preview below:

From The Sydney Telegraph:

“You know, I stay fit, but I dieted for Black Swan. I think it’s OK to do that for the part, but not just for being an actor,” she explains. “Actors [in Hollywood] starve themselves to play the normal girl – which, for me, is an issue. If someone’s playing a sick person then it’s OK for them to diet for the part. But to diet just to play the love interest or the girl next door, that’s absolutely not OK. You shouldn’t starve yourself; you should be able to live your life.”

I mean, do I necessarily believe that Mila Kunis doesn’t diet, or at least seriously watch what she eats and work out 4-5 days per week to stay her shape? Not really, but it doesn’t really bother me in her case, mostly because she has a small frame and probably a high metabolism. You know, whatever. As a side note, I hate the tendencies stars have to insist that they don’t really do much to look as good as they do. Like, homegirl, we know you spent your first check on new teeth, hair extensions and a personal trainer. I’m not hatin’! (If anyone wants to foot the bill so I can get some Lumineers, holler at me.)

Mila also stayed her chill self as she expressed her personal philosophy to being grounded in the midst of celebrity life:

“I do take a conscious effort to step back and acknowledge where I’m at, and at least appreciate it,” she explains. “I often think to myself, this is great for what it is, but now it’s time to move on. You have to be present and stay in the moment or you get completely caught up, and miss so many things. I’ve been doing this for 20 years – I know, crazy – but it’s my career, and while I love what I do, it’s showbiz. It’s grand and it’s wonderful, but it’s not real life. Even though people think it is real life.”

I don’t know how many people (who aren’t idiots) think it’s real life, but I do agree that it’s good to stay present and appreciative regardless of your path in life. Also, Mila Kunis has been acting for 20 years?

Look, I love Mila Kunis. I loved her on That 70s Show, then I loved her in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, then I loved her in Black Swan, and I loved her in everything in between. I think she’s just wonderful. I would want to be her friend.

One of the things that I love about this lady is that sometimes, she just doesn’t give a f-ck. She’ll go out in sweatpants and no makeup, and she doesn’t care. She doesn’t put on a pound of makeup just because some stranger is probably going to want to take pictures of her. She just doesn’t care.

But, as always, one lady’s treasure can be another lady’s trash. And it looks like for a lot of people, Mila Kunis’ sweatpants make her trash:

Sexiest? More like schlubbiest woman alive.

Sweatpants-loving Mila Kunis is a guy’s girl – and she’s got the wardrobe to prove it.

Seemingly eager to shed her Sexiest Woman Alive title – Esquire Magazine crowned the Ukrainian-born beauty last November – Kunis is rarely spotted these days in anything except dumpy, frumpy gym wear.

Apparently at chez Kunis, it’s laundry day everyday.

From morning coffee runs with boyfriend Ashton Kutcher to canoodling in the West Village, walking the dog or lunch in L.A., Kunis and Kutcher are a match made in casual dressing hell.

At first, it was cute to watch them smooching in Central Park in matching T-shirts or see her run out in the morning without painting on a full face of makeup and cavorting Kardashian-style for the paparazzi. But now it’s time to shed the elastic waistband and invest in a hairbrush.

She’s a Golden Globe-nominated actress for “Black Swan,” not a member of Justin Bieber’s entourage.

“I love her, and though I can certainly relate to her craving for comfort, there really is a better way to do it,” says Mary Kate Steinmiller, senior fashion market editor at Teen Vogue.

Unlike other Hollywood A-listers Gwen Stefani, Jessica Chastain and Jessica Alba with street style to match their flawless red-carpet looks, Kunis insists on dressing like an unwashed teenage boy.

Hot mama Gwen Stefani instantly adds glamour to everything from a plain tank top and jeans to an oversized cape with a bold red lip and oversized shades. Jessica Alba, the master of casual chic, is constantly photographed around L.A. in comfy T-shirts and jeans accessoried with a designer handbag, colorful scarf, cute flats and denim jacket. And Jessica Chastain, currently in “The Heiress” turns Broadway into her personal runway everytime she shows up for a show in fitted coats, statement-making shoes and impeccable accessories.

To keep it casual but still chic, Teen Vogue’s Steinmiller suggests that Kunis try silk pajama-style pants by Piamita, stretchy denim leggings by Citizens of Humanity or cashmere Juicy Couture track pants in a bold color.

“I will never utter the word ‘jegging,’” she says about the superstretchy Citizen of Humanity jeans. “I know the loose freedom of a sweatpant hardly seems comparable to a legging jean, but these feel like wearing nothing.”

As for that we-just-rolled-out-of-bed-because-we-are-so-in-love hair that she can’t seem to wash away, it’s time to start throwing it up into a messy top knot, quick side braid or pick up some dry shampoo to soak up some of that greasy mane.

I don’t know, guys. I think it’s fun to talk about fashion, but in terms of what people chose to wear to events, not really what people chose to wear when they’re going about their lives. Especially when it’s something as boring as sweatpants and a hoodie. It’s not even fun to talk about, and it’s not like we haven’t all gone through a period where we just didn’t feel like putting that much effort into going outside.

But I need to take a moment to cosign on the suggestion of jeggings. Jeggings forever.

But even though you might want to chalk Mila’s “whatever” face up to the idea that maybe Ashton’s just talking about the fat grams in his turkey sausage bagel, let me tell you, it’s not. No, that picture up there is pretty priceless—it says a lot. It actually says things like how Mila’s probably got the upper hand in this situation, and how she’s really only using Ashton for sex and maybe a little public humiliation. It says how Ashton is just a miserable asshole who doesn’t even look happy when his girlfriend looks like this, and just how pathetic that is:

See? Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. All I know is that if you can’t please everyone, then you should probably just punch Ashton Kutcher in the face, because that seems appropriate in almost any circumstance.

When Ashton Kutcher started dating Mila Kunis earlier this year, he thought he’d hit the romantic jackpot – not only was she Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive in 2012, he’s been crushing on her ever since their days as costars on That ‘70s Show. But as the couple’s relationship has grown, so has Mila – to the tune of nearly 50 lbs, much of it put on for her upcoming film Blood Ties – and insiders say Ashton’s feeling uneasy about his girlfriend’s transformation.

“When they started dating, he thought Mila was one of the hottest girls in the world,” a source tells Star. “But in the eight months or so they’ve been together, she’s totally let herself go.”

A big part of the issue – perhaps even more than her dress size – is Mila’s increasingly frumpy appearance. Mila has been photographed looking tired in baggy sweats and no makeup consistently.

“When Ashton broke up with wife Demi Moore, he was ready to have a relationship with a low maintenance girl, but now he’s saying Mila is TOO low maintenance,” says our source. “Demi may have been crazy, but she always made sure to look good for Ashton, whereas Mila acts like she couldn’t care less.”

When Ashton dropped a major hint recently in the form of a $250,000 Christmas makeover package, Mila took the gift as a huge insult. “She told Ashton is he wanted a fake, plastic girl, he should have stayed with Demi. That’s when he snapped and told her, ‘You’re worse than Demi!’”

Oh burn. “You’re worse than Demi“? Who the f-ck says that? Oh, right—Ashton Kutcher allegedly does. And though it’s Star, I can still kind of see this being a real thing. Ashton definitely seems to be the type to bail on a girl who isn’t looking her best at all times, and yeah, Star has posted a lot of incredible shit over the years, but this is still probably the most believable thing they’ve run with.

Whatever, though. No surprise. Ashton’s totally That Douche who wants nothing more than a hot, relevant trophy wife and a hot nobody to bang on the side. If Mila‘s OK with that then these two might have a shot. If not? Well. You saw how quickly Ashton moved on post-Demi—I don’t think Mila would really be any different in Ashton’s eyes anyway.

So what happened in a period of a few weeks, I don’t know. Maybe she’s got Spanx on today, or maybe she was just uber-bloated the day of the prego photo. Who knows.

It might be just as well for Mila, however, as she’s got a lot on her plate these days. Sources say that Mila is in the midst of

From the Hollywood Reporter:

The actress will executive produce Meridian Hills, a drama set in 1972 that explores the women’s liberation movement, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Sydney Sidner (The Rite) will pen the drama and executive produce the CBS Television Studios effort alongside Chris Keyser, Kunis and the Tannenbaum Co.’s Eric and Kim Tannenbaum. Robot Chicken’s Lisa Sterbakov, who worked with Kunis on the Adult Swim series, and the Black Swan actress’ managers Cami Curtis and Susan Curtis are also on board to exec produce.

Meridian Hills is set in a boozy Midwest country club in 1972, during an era when the Equal Rights Amendment was just beginning. The drama follows a young, newly married woman who joins the Junior League and discovers an eclectic group of other young women who become unlikely allies in her quest to change the system.

The Junior League, founded in 1901 by Mary Harriman, is a nonprofit organization of women with the goal of improving communities through volunteer work, civic leadership and training.

Hm. Sounds interesting. And Mila sure does like her 70′s-themed things, so I suppose it all really makes sense. Plus, if you’re going to date Ashton Kutcher, you have to have some kind of political or civic activity happening, because duh. Non-profit foundations are how Ashton Kutcher makes his money, because God knows it’s not his movies.

Oh, and speaking of disaster? Seriously, I’m writing this post on Sunday night, because for now, I still have both electric and internet, which is a lot more than what some other people in the general region have right now, even though I probably shouldn’t. In case you didn’t hear, the east coast is being battered by Hurricane Sandy, and oh yeah, the latest news says she might be making landfall a block over from me sometime between this afternoon and Tuesday morning. Super, huh? Who knows. Maybe it’s karma. Maybe I should have been a little nicer to all of these celebrities, huh?

Any intermittent posting is a direct result of Sandy, so you can blame that lousy, stinking, sucking whore for f-cking up the whole mess.

Good luck and God speed to those in the path of this bitch—I don’t know what’s scarier at this point; the fact that Ashton Kutcher might be a father soon, or the hurricane itself.

Maybe I just watched this commercial eleven times in a row. Maybe I want little 9-year-old Mila Kunis‘ Lisa Frank bedroom more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my life. And maybe, just maybe, I don’t have anything else to show you right now and I just wanted to show you this video because it just made my day, and also because perhaps I wanted to recall one of my very favorite stories about the time that I went shopping for school supplies with my BFF and she wanted some Lisa Frank folders, except she kept asking about Anne Frank folders, and she kept looking up and down the crowded aisle and saying “why can’t I find any Anne Frank folders? You remember those Anne Frank folders. I loved the shit out of Anne Frank.”

It’s going to be a good day, friends. It just is.

Who’s your five sexiest?

From Us Weekly:

Still going strong after five months!

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have recently been parading their relationship around NYC. The 34-year-old actor, still separated from Demi Moore, has been living with his onetime That ’70s Show costar, 29, while she films The Angriest Man in Brooklyn in the city.

“He always had a thing for her,” a source told Us Weekly. “It’s a real infatuation.”

On Sept. 17, the pair of five months fed each other brunch across the table at NYC’s Philip Marie restaurant — then cuddled up on a boulder for an extended smooching session in Central Park.

“They only saw each other,” a witness said of the duo. “Nothing else seemed to matter.”

While a source told Us that Kunis “isn’t sure this will last,” the Friends With Benefits actress is “going for it.”

Let’s do some creepy math, all right? The story from Us Weekly mentioned that Ashton Kutcher is 34 and Mila Kunis is 29. Totally cool, right? But That ’70s Show, where Ashton and Mila met, premiered in 1998. When Ashton was 19. And Mila was 14. And Ashton has “always had a thing for her.” Ewwwww.

But hey, is there anyone who looks at this relationship and feels any sort of positive feelings about it? Or even neutral feelings? Like, is anyone not disturbed by these two dating? Because I always feel this huge urge to slap Mila Kunis and tell her to run for the hills. Is that normal?
