Bradley Cooper, Clean-Shaven: Hell Yes or God No?

celebrityabout

Bradley Cooper, master manipulator, shaved his beard, and the world took notice. Specifically E!, who posted the above photo, wondering who that man was (“Bradley Cooper, Is That You?” they asked. “Actor Nearly Unrecognizable Without His Beard.”) I don’t think it’s quite that extreme, E!. You can still tell it’s Bradley Cooper, although it is quite a change. He ALMOST looks like Ryan Gosling. So because he took such a leap, it’s time to ask you guys: is this new look a “hell, yes”, or a “God, no”? As far as male facial looks go, it’s world’s better than James Franco’s shaved head, which is terrifying on so many levels. But I’m gonna vote “hell yes” on this one. You guys?

Amanda Bynes, Bartender?

celebrityabout

Amanda Bynes has been having some troubles lately, both mentally and financially. One man is willing to help her out with the latter, by offering her a job as a bartender. Uh, can we say, “worst idea ever”? Here’s the story, from TMZ: Chad Weiner, the managing partner of State Social House in West Hollywood, tells TMZ … he’s got an apron and a bottle opener with Amanda’s name on it … all she needs to do is say yes. TMZ broke the story … Amanda wants to live a “normal life,” and make some money — and she thinks bartending is the way to go. Chad says his spot on the Strip is perfect for Amanda, since his staff knows her and would love to teach her the ropes. As for her schizophrenia … Chad has a pay it forward attitude — telling us he’d like to give Amanda a second chance, because he once got one when he was battling substance abuse. Okay, look, I really do appreciate the sentiment here — the one of giving people second chances. But a bar is the last place Bynes needs to be. She can’t work at a bar, that’s like giving BoJack Horseman a job at a bar. And if you’re not watching BoJack Horseman, I suggest you start now, immediately. I think before Bynes needs a job, she needs a lot more mental stability in her life, and unfortunately, with the conservatorship fumbles, it looks like that won’t be happening any time soon. What a mess. This poor girl. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Keira Knightley poses topless to protest Photoshop

celebrityabout

Keira Knightley is like store-brand macaroni and cheese (instead of, say, Velveeta) – you’ll eat it if it’s there, but you won’t be very happy about it. It’s pretty flavourless and doesn’t leave you satisfied but sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do. She’s okay, really, but I could never quite warm to her, and that seems to be the general consensus. But what she’s done this month to protest Photoshopping. According to Keira, people are always Photoshopping her, particularly because she’s really slim and doesn’t have a huge chest. When promotion for King Arthur, for instance, they made her boobs SO MUCH BIGGER in the promo posters. That’s a regular occurrence in her life, so she showed her REAL chest for Interview magazine (photo under the cut since it’s NSFW), and she had the following to say about it (via The Times): I’ve had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it’s paparazzi photographers or for film posters. That [shoot] was one of the ones where I said: ‘OK, I’m fine doing the topless shot so long as you don’t make them any bigger or retouch.’ Because it does feel important to say it really doesn’t matter what shape you are. Fair enough. Be proud of your body, girl – that goes for people of ALL shapes and sizes. Ain’t nothing wrong with that. Full NSFW pic under the cut… Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Salma Hayek says she’s not a feminist while accepting equality award

celebrityabout

Oh, dear. Salma Hayek, what were you thinking? She was honoured as a women’s rights advocate at Equality Now’s Make Equality Reality event on Monday night in Beverly Hills – makes sense considering how much work she’s done on behalf of women’s and girls’ rights (she co-founded Chime for Change, “a global campaign to convene, unite and strengthen the voices speaking out for girls and women around the world”). However, don’t call her a feminist. That’s a dirty word. “I am not a feminist,” she said (via People). “If men were going through the things women are going through today, I would be fighting for them with just as much passion. I believe in equality.” Sigh. Look – I don’t want to argue semantics here. Obviously she’s done a lot of great work on behalf of her gender. But seriously? It’s 2014 and people are STILL afraid to refer to themselves as feminists? What is this world? I don’t particularly care about referring to myself as a feminist. It’s certainly not something I go around on the streets proclaiming. But if someone asked me about feminism or being a feminist, I certainly wouldn’t recoil like that and start talking about men. Salma’s response shows me that she thinks feminism means anti-men, which… *buzzer* WRONG. It’s funny how someone who seems so enlightened can be so clueless. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Jerry Seinfeld thinks he’s autistic

celebrityabout

I can never tell whether Jerry Seinfeld is being sincere or when he’s doing his “comedy” thing, but basically in a segment with Brian Williams for his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, he revealed that he believes he might actually fall somewhere on the autism spectrum (via US Weekly). “I think, on a very drawn out scale, I think I’m on the spectrum,” the sitcom creator revealed. “What are the markers?” an intrigued Williams asked. “You know, never paying attention to the right things,” said Seinfeld. “Basic social engagement is really a struggle. I’m very literal. When people talk to me and they use expressions, sometimes I don’t know what they’re saying.” Huh. I guess anything is possible. However, if he’s functioned this long and become rather successful with no real struggle, it’s probably not anything to worry about. I dunno, I worry that sometimes we live in a society that just wants to diagnose us all the time, or have us diagnose ourselves with any number of disorders. Feeling restless? You have restless leg syndrome! Getting distracted? ADD! I’m not saying those disorders don’t exist and aren’t serious, but you have to put things in context. Most of us are just fine. We’re just humans and life is complicated. Jeez. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook
