Quote of the Day — Nicole Richie Gives Advice to Jessica Simpson

“I offered for her to take my kids up until she has hers. That didn’t really work, but the offer still stands because she hasn’t had her kid yet.” Nicole Richie, on whether she gave her Fashion Star costar, Jessica Simpson, any parenting advice.

Quote of the Day — Reese Witherspoon on Ryan Phillipe Divorce

“That period in my life was a challenge but you feel so much stronger once you pick up the pieces and make a new world for yourself. You rethink a lot of things and you develop a much sharper sense of what is going to make you happy. Many people go through crossroads in their lives, times where everything falls apart and you don’t know what to do next. But you learn so much and it makes decisions easier going forward.” Reese Witherspoon on healing from divorce

 
 

Lou Dobbs Hates The Lorax — Hates Poor People Too

Here’s a question: Why don’t Republicans just tie up poor people and beat them with rubber hoses. Then, they can take those rubber hoses and throw them in the ocean because, after all, who cares about the f*cking environment, right? The source of my outrage is Lou Dobbs, who hates The Lorax for poisoning our young children with terrible ideas like saving trees. At one point in the video below, the word “occu-toddler” is actually used. When did the Republican party become a group of radical misfits? Watch below.

Courtney Cox on Anderson — Calls ‘Cougar Town’ Title a “Mistake”

How many times will the Cougar Town folks blame the title for the bad ratings? I hate to be the bearer of bad news — but it’s not the title. In fact, the title is probably what initially drew viewers to the show. There are plenty of great shows that don’t get good ratings (see Arrested Development). You might be wondering why they chose such a campy title in the first place only to later complain about it. Here’s the short of it: Producers and writers can’t get studios and networks to put shows on the air these days without gimmicks. In today’s television world, you’d never see Mad About You, Cheers, or even Seinfeld (which would have been canceled after its low ratings in season one). But even though a show needs a gimmick to get the green light, a gimmick doesn’t guarantee its failure. I’m therefore fully confident that Cougar Town would have the same ratings with or without that title. Click the link below to see her interview.

Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux in ‘Wanderlust’ — Watch a Clip

I love to see relationships evolve, and Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are my new favorite couple. He appears to handle the paparazzi well, and he seems like a nice dude. So when I saw the clip below it made me happy. Watch the co-stars together, and see if you can tell that love was in the air when they shot it.

Kim Kardashian Settles Blogger Lawsuit For Claiming Marriage Was Staged

For defamation cases, there’s only one way to get sued — if you lie. Sure there’s a few more elements they taught us in law school — but if I told you what they were I’d get post-law-school-PTSD and break out in hives. So when Jonathan Jaxson claimed to have it on personal authority that Kim Kardashian’s marriage was staged, I thought, “He’s gotta be telling the truth. No one is stupid enough to openly expose themselves to such an easy defamation case, right? Apparently, he was that stupid. He settled with Kardashian, and that settlement included a public apology. Might I add that Kim Kardashian has turned into quite the shark? I’m moderately impressed.

Star Jones Returns to ‘The View’ — Still Evasive

If you own your truth, no one can touch you. And Star Jones still hasn’t owned her truth. She returned to The View to squash the bad blood, yet she objected to Barbara Walters’ rehashing of her departure. I’m not sure how Star Jones thought she’d get away with dodging Queen Walters, but she certainly tried. “Are you seriously going to go there?” She asked. “Does anyone care?” Walters wouldn’t relent. “You may not care,” she said. “But you’re used to hot topics.” Jones gave a bunch of canned answers that fooled me into thinking she was running for office. Walters then asked Jones about her decision to hide her gastric bypass surgery. Jones still dodged the answer.

‘The Voice’: Did Adam Levine Abandon Javier Colon?


NBC has two seasons to make the winners of The Voice into huge stars and after that, they will lose all credibility. American Idol may be threatened by The Voice, but Idol has made some of the biggest stars in history and it is therefore more than just a talent show. So this brings me to a very important question: What happened to Javier Colon? Where is he? Why isn’t he booked on late night shows singing a hit single? When is his album coming out? And most importantly — why the fu*k isn’t Adam Levine doing anything to propel his career? Adam appeared on Howard Stern yesterday and mentioned Colon, saying that he’s trying to help him, and Colon is “struggling.” He also made a moderately condescending remark about how the winners have to take their career by the reigns after the show is finished. Perhaps he should look to Blake Shelton who took Dia Frampton on his tour. You don’t get to sit on your throne touting that you “won” season one, especially when the contestant you won with can’t sustain a career.

Quote of the Day — Ryan Gosling on Picking Up Women

“I don’t want to disappoint you, but it’s not really like the film. I just tried to follow all the rules that men’s magazines give you, like all the ways you’re supposed to dress, all the exercises you’re supposed to do, and all the things you’re supposed to say. Just follow the letter of the law. I read that book, The Game. I like to call it The Lame. Or that TV show, The Pick Up Artist. I watched that. I don’t know whether seduction can be taught or not. But these gentlemen seem to think that they have something to say, and they have devotees. What I like about the film is the philosophy. Even though Jacob’s essentially a knucklehead, at the heart of it, he’s saying: ‘Don’t use pick-up lines, don’t make lame bar banter. Just talk to them as you would talk to one of your friends. Just talk to them.’ So, I thought if there’s any wisdom in there, that probably sounds like good advice.” Ryan Gosling, on how he prepared for his ladies-man role for Crazy, Stupid Love, followed by an inappropriate dig at one of my favorite books in the history of literature — The Game.
