What Is LiLo Promoting?

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

lilo

I thought magazine interviews and the like were held for individuals with upcoming projects or if you popped out some kids for ching. And LiLo…well, as far as I know has neither. But, whatevs. It’s Lindsay Lohan…she does what she wants. For the February issue of “Interview” magazine, LiLo sat down to dish about her life in the limelight and why she is just as cool as ScarJo. Lauren Hutton does the asking…LiLo rattles off some lengthy answers. Below are a few of the highlights of the interview.

On Not Getting The Same Opportunities As Other Actresses:

But it’s so impossible for me to actually [go someplace where no one knows me]. When I was in Dubai, there was still press lined up around the hotel. So I find it close to impossible to actually do that. I mean, it is what it is. This is what I asked for, and in this day and age that’s what actually goes on. But what hurts me the most is that I work just as hard as any other actress around my age, like Scarlett Johansson, but I just don’t get the opportunities that they get because people are so distracted by the mess that I created in my life. But that doesn’t mean it’s going to last forever.

On Being Misunderstood:

You know what’s hard? I want to give back. I want to do all the things that will make me feel fulfilled. But whenever I do those things, people think it’s a press stunt or something. Because they do find me, and there’s really no way of hiding from that. And the second that you complain about it, they say, “Well, this is what you wanted, so this is what you’re going to get.” That’s all people see it as now. It’s not, “No, I just want to have some time for myself.” There are things I want to do, and people don’t understand that. You know, my car accident that I got into, where I got my first charge, I wouldn’t have been speeding up like I was if I didn’t have people shoving cameras in my windows.

On Being In Hollywood To Act, Not To Become A Paparazzi Magnet:

I just feel as though it’s become a situation where people have manifested this caricature of who I am, and they act as if there’s no real person inside of it. I mean, people really have come to believe-directors, producers, agents, whoever it may be-that I started in this because I wanted to be a celebrity. But that was never my intention.

On The Public Misconception Of Her And The Lack Of Knowledge About Film:

I wanted to be a movie star [growing up]. But movie stars are not what they used to be. When I was a kid, I thought movie stars were women and men who were in these great films that we still look at now. But I don’t think there are too many films coming out these days that we’re going to look at in the future and say, ‘This is one of the great ones.’ Like, what is the great film that I will tell my children about? I’m still going to tell them about the old films, the Hitchcock films. And people my age don’t even know who those people are. I can’t even have a conversation with most people of my generation about that, because they’d be like, ‘Okay, she’s a freak. Something’s wrong with her.’

The Advice Heath Ledger Gave Her After They Presumably Doinked:

Heath Ledger once said something about this to me. He said: “It’s build you up to knock you down, and that’s all it is. And you just have to see if you can stand through it.” And it is like that, if you put yourself in this situation. I was young, so maybe I did . . . I always wanted to take the blame. I’ve always been apologetic for other people’s faults.

ScarJo Gets Personal For Harper’s Bazaar.

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

scarlett

ScarJo may not want be one to to speak about her personal life, but girlfriend dishes for the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar…about what else than her hubby, the proposal and her Obama drama. But wait…she’s not being “personal”, she’s being…well…slightly intimate…ok nevermind, she’s being damn vague. But whatevs. We still love her. Enjoy some of the highlights below.

On Her Obama Drama:

Talk about sexist. If I were George Clooney, they would never have written that. I was obviously in a relationship, and people were like, ‘How dare she try to break up his marriage with Michelle?’ I was like, What the hell is going on? And then he released the statement — his camp had to; they’re on a 24-hour news cycle and have to quell anything that comes in that is questionable. I was really mortified, but I learned my lesson.

On Supporting Her Hubby’s Marathon Run:

I went to some random spot and saw everybody going past. It was really incredible. I’m a horrible runner; I can barely put one foot in front of the other. I saw that J.Lo did a triathlon and I’m like, Damn, girl, you just had twins! It’s amazing. I’m so not a sporty spice; I’m a stay-at-home-and-veg spice.

On Keeping Her Marriage Under Wraps:

You have to protect some things, even if it’s a silly detail like who designed your dress. It was private, which is what I really wanted. I’ve never been the girl who thought of the big dress, the big ceremony. I’m more low-key than that. Most people want photographers at their wedding, and for us it was how do we leave them out?

On Ryan’s Not-So-Secret Proposal:

I wasn’t surprised that it was happening, but anyone being presented with a beautiful diamond ring, as a girl, you just squeal with delight. You say you can’t believe it, but of course you really can. I think all proposals are romantic. It was very down-to-earth and genuine. There was no crazy skywriting or anything like that, just nice words, and it was very sweet.

On The Tabloids And Rumors:

I was just talking to my publicist and he said, ‘You’re either pregnant or divorced today.’ And I was thinking, What the hell are they talking about? I’m 24! I mean, I got these calls that I was engaged way before it happened. I’ve also been pregnant several times. With, like, sextuplets. That must mean I’ve been eating way too many bagels or something. I’m not pregnant and I’m not going to be anytime soon.

On Whether She Has Ever Been Turned Down:

Oh, yeah! I’ve had that a couple of times, where he wasn’t into me or wasn’t available emotionally. It’s kind of a hard thing to admit when you really like somebody and you can see the potential of the relationship but they can’t.

On Her Suzy Homemaker Skills:

I’m a major foodie. I love to eat. I make a really mean lasagna. Woody’s like, ‘You’re like an Italian housewife. Where did this come from?’ She intends to feed said dish to her fictitious children, the needy sextuplets. They’re always hungry, those bastards.

On Her Future Corset Plans:

Every actor wants to work on a Western. I would run a brothel, like a madam or something. I’m working with what I’ve got. It’s only so long that people are going to want to see me in a corset. So I might as well do it now.

Brad Pitt Obviously Doesn’t Want To Sleep On The Couch.

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

brad

And how understandable! He’s with one of the most gorgeous women in the world…Brad better behave himself and say all the right things, dammit! Brad is no dummy!

W Magazine loves the Jolie-Pitts…so much so that Brad now graces the cover. Is there something we don’t know here? Do Brad and Ange secretly own this shiz? I wouldn’t be surprised.

And what seems to be a “naturale” photo of Mr. Pitt on the cover, it is refreshing to see some lines and aging on this man. Forty-five years old? Yep, I see it. Traumatic divorce and saucy affair? Yep, I see that too. But, Brad begs to differ.

“What people don’t understand is that we filmed for a year. We were still filming after Jen and I split up. Even then it doesn’t mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn’t. I’m very proud of the way that it was handled. It was respectful.”

Ok, so maybe Jen is the one who is “uncool”?

“Listen, man, Jen is a sweetheart. I think she got dragged into that one, and then there’s a second round to all that Angie versus Jen. It’s so created. We still check in with each other. She was a big part of my life, and me hers. I don’t see how there cannot be. That’s life, man. That’s life.”

Very eloquent and careful wording there Brad. Two thumbs up! I’m sure Ange will be proud!

Stay tuned next month when Brad and Angelina’s nannies are pictured on W serving up Ange’s ta-ta milk to the magical twins in a bottle made of gold.

Kate Winslet Proves She Is A True Hottie.

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

katewinslet1

Forget the airbrush. Kate Winslet doesn’t need it. Or so she claims. Kate sat down with Elle magazine for the February issue and once again speaks about her body. And we love it. Here are a few of the highlights. You can catch the full interview when the mag hits stands on January 7th.

On Being Healthy And Not Your Average Skinny Beotch:

I’ve actually been this way since I had Joe. I still don’t believe in this craziness for being skinny, but I eat sensibly and I don’t stuff down chocolate biscuits.

On How She Stays Fit Without Going To The Gym:

I don’t go to the gym because I don’t have time but I do Pilates workout DVDs for 20 minutes or more every day at home.

On Why She Is So Angry About The Airbrush Hoopla:

I am very much a vocal drum-beater for normal women. I guess I have to admit I do care what people think. I hate people thinking I’m some pretentious fraud.

katewinslet

Well, you go girl! Twenty minutes of pilates is something I could MAYBE handle.

Leo And Kate Should Be Married.

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

leo

It’s one of those pairings that you wish was a real-life love affair, but unfortunately (with all due respect to Kate’s hubby Sam Mendes) it ain’t happenin’. It became evident to me when Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio starred in “Titanic” that these day had it for each other. Their chemistry was explosive. I mean, c’mon. That hanging on the end of the ship with their arms wrapped around each other and pretending they were “kings of the world” was phenomenal.

Leo and Kate sat down together with Entertainment Weekly to dish about their new film together (”Revolutionary Road”), their relationship, and their A-list status. Here are a few of the highlights from the interview.

On Reuniting On The Big Screen After Ten Years:

LEO: Over the years, I would find myself stopping and saying, ”I don’t know if we should do this again.” And then I’d think, ”What are you, an idiot? Why wouldn’t I want to work with the best actress of her generation? Am I going to be prejudiced against a project just because Kate’s in it?” I think we both had been actively looking for something else to do together, but we fundamentally knew that we couldn’t tread on any sort of similar territory.

On The Newfound Fame After “Titanic”:

KATE: I look back on that time now and I remember thinking, ”I’m doing okay, I’m absolutely fine. My life hasn’t changed. I won’t let it! I can just walk to the grocery store and buy milk in my pajamas still. Ahhhh, right, no, I can’t. I have no idea what the hell is going on or how I’m supposed to deal with suddenly having 10 paparazzi there. Oh, okay, ohhhh, I get it. Anonymity, that’s gone.” I look back and think, ”Jesus, I was seriously ill-equipped emotionally to be able to cope with all of that stuff.”

LEO: You never get used to it. Post-Titanic, it was more intense than anyone our age has ever dealt with in the history of…anything. It was the modern era of media and paparazzi where they’re organized, with multiple SUVs following you around. I didn’t know it would at the time, but it has way calmed down in my life.

leonkate

On Whether Leo Thought Kate Was The One “Who Got Away”:

KATE: Say it!
LEO: [With a weary groan] We’ve always been completely platonic.

Nothing But A Necktie.

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

jen

Wow, talk about a Brangelina-Aniston war…and it’s getting to be a festival of nakedness. First Angelina’s milk-filled teet, then Brad’s porny guido-stache…and now it’s Jen’s turn and she takes this saga one step further by donning her birthday suit for Playboy GQ magazine. Take this as a slap in the face Angelina…your teet ain’t shit compared to Jennifer’s airbrushed birthday suit!

What’s next? John Mayer’s constipation face magnified times 10? Brad and Ange sharing a cover with strategically placed fig leaves? Oh lawdy, this is getting good!

In the January issue of GQ, Jennifer talks John (despite her ordering John to keep his mouth shut) and her trips to the Hamptons with the Jolie-Pitt brood, and her new film. Check out some of the highlights below:

Clearing Up Rumors Regarding John:

I am not having his baby. And I have not popped the question.

Honestly, did not know much about him before I met him. I’d heard … you know, uh ‘Your Body’ – that song. But what I can say is that I had no idea what an extraordinary musician he is. And it’s just great to sit and be witness to that. It’s kind of like, Whoa!

On Her Weekend Trips To The Hamptons:

The funny thing is, people don’t realize we all go away to The Hamptons on the weekends. No. But can you imagine? That’d be hysterical: I’ve got Zahara on my hip, and Knox…

About Her New Film “Pumas” And The Cougarlicious References:

It is so a comment on the sexual double standard, and what’s been ironic is how hard it’s been to get this movie made. Studios want it, but they are afraid of Middle America. They’d want to change it; they’re saying, ‘Oh, you can’t do that, people just can’t imagine you…

You can pick up the Jennifer GQ issue on stands this Friday.

One Final Jab To Jen’s Heart.

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

brad5

Angie’s said her peace and Jennifer threw in her two cents. Now it’s Brad and his guido-stache’s turn to speak. Brad Pitt opens up to Rolling Stone magazine about his new film “The Case of Benjamin Button”, fame and life with six rug rats. Here are some of the highlights:

His Excuse For Having Only A Few Really Successful Flicks:

I got lost in the wilderness of fame a bit. There are all of these opportunities you’re supposed to be taking. And I got really discombobulated.

On What Drives Him Crazy:

I get enraged when people start telling other people how to live their lives. It drives me mental. This Prop. 8 thing just drives me mental.

On The Election:

I went down to Grant Park (Chicago), because I was doing Oprah the next day. I walked home from the park to the hotel, which was a half-hour walk. And I could walk freely — no one was interested in me at that point. People were weeping and hugging. The sense of elation in the streets — it was great. That was such a turnaround for us. We captured the original definition of America again.

brad11

On His Favorite Action Flick:

Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Because you know… six kids. Because I fell in love.

On Why He Thinks Fighting Is Overrated:

Angie and I do not fight anymore.

What occurred to me on this film, and also with the passing of her mother [actress Marcheline Bertrand in 2007], is that there’s going to come a time when I’m not going to get to be with this person anymore.

I’m not going to get to be with my children anymore. Or friends, people I love and respect. And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now.

Posh Is Working On Her Smile.

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

posh

David Beckham’s fashionista of a wife and former Spice Girl, Victoria, has earned the cover of the January issue of Harper’s Bazarre. Victoria, aka Posh, has earned the role as trend setter and is one of the most photographed women in the world, which is hard to believe considering she does NOT have her own personal stylist. Victoria talks fashion, her life in the public eye and most importantly, her well-known crabby face. Here are some of the highlights:

On Strutting Around In Hooker Heels:

Oh, c’mon, they’re not that hard to walk in. They’re not uncomfortable! You have to go to a sex shop to get this spray to polish them.

On Being Known For Her Crabby Face:

I have started smiling. I’ve mastered this smirk; it’s a smile that isn’t a smile. I used to get so nervous, and when I got on the red carpet, I’d freeze up. I’ve had so many things said about me over the years, like a public bullying.

The older you get, the more comfortable you become with yourself, and you accept what you have physically. Also, the fact that my [fashion] business is doing very well makes me feel a little more confident, too.

On Being A Style Icon:

I really had to prove myself…But now I feel like I am competing in an arena where I belong.

How She Keeps Her Trim Figure:

It’s funny; I go to the gym now. I run four miles a day.

On Being Victoria Beckham:

Before events, I go into hair and makeup, and I turn into ‘Victoria Beckham.’ I’ll try on all my dresses, and I’ll pick out a handbag, and I’ll put on the shades. I instantly turn into this person, and it sort of feels like a character. And there are so many pictures of it.

On Why She Must Look Good 24/7:

If I go to the supermarket looking like shit, that affects my work. I am selling an image. Plus, I have fun with it.

On Her Marriage:

It was a really happy time. We’ve had a lot of ups and a lot of downs. We’ve been married for nine years. I love him more now than when I first met him. Back then, there was a certain innocence. I look back and think if only I knew then what I know now. I’ve toughened up a lot.

On The Paparazzi:

I don’t complain about paparazzi because I’ve put myself in that position, and so has David. But I always say to the boys, someone is going to take your picture because you’re handsome or you’re smart or because you’re so good at soccer. But every now and again, Romeo might pick up one of David’s cameras and say, ‘Victoria, Victoria, over here!’ And his attitude is sort of angry.

Isla Fisher Will Brush Her Hair When She Wants To.

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

isla

Isla Fisher, best known for her nymphomaniac role in the hit movie “Wedding Crashers” and her relationship with her thong-wearing baby daddy, Sasha Baron Cohen, doesn’t take herself seriously. The Aussie actress sat down with FHM magazine to dish on her latest projects, fashion, beauty, Russell Crowe, and her love for thongs. Below are some of the highlights from the interview that can be viewed in its entirety in the December issue of FHM.

Why Aussies Have Success In Hollywood:

“I think Australia has a great state-funded drama system and I think we can do the accent, and I think we look hot in a bikini, haha! Including Russell Crowe.”

On Fashion:

“Oh, I’m a bag person and then a shoe person, but I’m not really into clothes. I’m not a big beauty girl. I love a bath and some candles, but I haven’t even brushed my hair for six months.”

On How Isla Stays Looking Fabulous:

“I have never been a big fan of working out and I’ve never been a sporty person - I was always more of a book worm. I know it sounds like a cliché, but I’ve been blessed with good genes. My mum is little, and I’m fortunate that I don’t like eating junk food. I just don’t like the taste of it.”

On Being Criticized For Putting On Pounds While Being Pregnant:

When I was pregnant, I remember someone wrote on a blog that I had gained too much weight. I remember being really shocked that even during something as incredible and beautiful as pregnancy, you are still subject to body fascism.

Her Dream Acting Role:
Babe in Pig In The City Part 3.

For The Record: K-Fed Says, Britney Divorced Me!

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

kfed

Just when you think Britney’s pity party (aka For The Record) has got you hooked and crying Cheeto tears of your own, K-Fed enters into the picture…opening up to People magazine just ONE day after Britney’s sixth album release. Coincidental? Ummm…stupid question.

Remember this horribly sad confession from Brit’s “For The Record” documentary?

“I didn’t think my husband was gonna leave me. If Kevin hadn’t left, I’d be with my babies 24/7. But since they’re almost like twins, they both take care of each other. I think they look like me. They don’t look like their father at all.”

I know, it left me melancholy. But then, I got thinking.

Ok, so now the kids take care of themselves? And K-Fed left Brit? Ummmm….ok.

Not according to Mr. Popozao (pronounced PAPA-ZOW). HOLD UP. Popozao has got somethin’ to say and says just “enough” to People.

Do you remember when you first met Britney?

I met her at a club in Hollywood, Joseph’s. Our eyes met and that was it. We just hit it off right away. I learned real fast how much of a whirlwind the press and everything was.

What are your happiest memories of the marriage?

Well, getting married. I never thought that I would get married but it wound up happening. That was a really, really, happy, exciting moment. I pretty much realized that I was giving my life to her, and I was doing it without question.

What went wrong?

It’s hard enough to be in a marriage, and then have a kid, then kids, it changes everything. For me, I’d become more concerned with my children. Not that I ignored Britney, but my kids are always most important … I mean, we were having complications. I didn’t give her an ultimatum, but I was trying to work stuff out with her, and she didn’t even talk to me or anything and went behind my back and filed [for divorce]. [I was] completely blindsided.

A lot of people assumed you fought for custody of the kids because of money.

My first question to [my lawyer] was, “Am I ever going to be able to see my children?” I told him that I would spend every last dime that I had to make sure that my children are okay. That’s all that mattered. I didn’t know how much power Britney had. That really scared me.

How did you react in January when Britney locked herself in the bathroom with Jayden and was later taken to the hospital on a gurney?

That whole night is a blur. You want to talk about one of my lowest points of depression, that was probably one of them. I was very, very worried for her ’cause I care about her. That’s the mother of my children. Just because I’m not in love with her doesn’t mean that I don’t love her. I’m definitely rooting for her. There’s nothing more that I want than for her to be in the best health and doing what she loves to do.

Are things getting better?

Oh, man, it’s totally turning around. It works out that [the kids] get to see her. There’s structure over there, there’s structure at my house. We’re trying to keep the same type of schedule. It doesn’t have to be completely perfect, but the foundation is there.

Oh, for the love of Frappes. Somebody’s lying!!! Who do you believe?

Popozoa or Cheeto Spears? Or are K-Fed and Brit in on this TOGETHER? Oh, the drama ensues…
