Penelope Cruz in Versace at UK ‘Zoolander 2′ premiere: stunning or cheap?

Feb 5, 2016 marc

For the past week, various members of the Zoolander 2 cast have been making their way through Europe, doing smaller premieres and photocalls. But last night was the big London premiere, and everyone came out for it. Everyone but Benedict Cumberbatch, and I was really hoping he would come! I guess he’s working on Doctor Strange and he couldn’t get away. Sad. Anyway, there was a surprising lack of big fashion moments from the premiere, but I’ve tried to select some of the best or most interesting looks. Let’s start with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, or Derek and Hansel. Owen has seemed to be having the most fun out of everyone. Here’s Penelope Cruz in Atelier Versace. Considering the latest Versace collection is really messy and poorly designed, I kind of think Penelope picked the best look available to her. It’s simple and kind of game-show-hostess-y. Kristin Wiig wore vintage Yves Saint Laurent (and Prada shoes). All I have to say is… this? Really? You’re going to carefully select a vintage look for a big fashion-friendly event and you choose this ill-fitting cocktail dress with an ugly stomach bow? I like Wiig a lot, but whenever I see her on the red carpet, I feel like she’s taking style cues from Jennifer Aniston and Wiig is much, much better than that. Jourdan Dunn in Ralph & Russo. This was one of my favorite looks. On another woman, it would have been a hot mess, but this looks cute on her. I can’t find the ID on Lara Stone’s dress. It’s cute, but a lot of women did metallics on this carpet and Lara didn’t stand out at all. Natalie Dormer in Blumarine. She certainly got her girls out for the cameras, didn’t she? If the V wasn’t so wide and everything wasn’t falling out, I would have really liked this dress. Justin Theroux. *sad clown noise* It’s a little bit funny that Jennifer Aniston hasn’t come out to support her husband’s film at all, right? Photos courtesy of WENN.

Barbie got a major makeover, she now comes in different body types & skin colors

Jan 29, 2016 marc

Here is this week’s Time Magazine cover: THE NEW BARBIE. Or at least your choice of what kind of Barbie doll best represents your dreams and journeys. Yes, after decades of size-0, thin-thighed, blonde Barbies, Mattel has finally changed their doll in some fundamental ways. The new Barbie will be offered in seven different colors/races, with many different hair colors and three new body types: petite, tall and curvy. Mattel will still be selling OG Barbie, but now kids will have more options. You can choose dark-skinned and petite Barbie, or tall and brown-skinned Barbie or curvy, white and brunette Barbie. All in all, there are 33 different dolls which will come out in stages. I’ll call them Bootilicious Barbie, Realistic Thighs Barbie, Nerd Barbie, Blue-Haired Hipster Barbie, Jennifer Lawrence Barbie and Ariana-Grande-Proportioned Barbie. The different body types are getting the most attention, but I genuinely appreciate the fact that they’re making Barbies with different skin tones and the dolls still get to be called BARBIE. They’re not going to call the different Barbies different names, like one called Destiny or one called Kim or whatever. All Barbies, in all sizes, in all colors. The Time Magazine piece about Mattel’s Barbie Revolution is pretty interesting – go here to read. They’re not even really pretending that this change came from completely pure, representative intentions. You see, Mattel has seen steadily declining sales of Barbies, but from 2012-2014, sales fell off a cliff and Lego became the biggest toy company in the world, dethroning Mattel. Lego prioritized the “Lego Friends” line, which teaches girls to build and probably worked really well for parents who want to encourage their daughters to pursue STEM fields. Meanwhile, Barbie was still the same-old, same-old and that was a big problem. So the head of the Barbie brand, Evelyn Mazzocco, decided to rebrand Barbie for millennial moms. You can read about the strategy in Time Magazine here. So, is this too little, too late? I personally think that Barbie has lasted so long because of fashion, and as long as they keep making great clothes for all Barbie sizes, I imagine Barbie will last for another 50 years. I’ve read the treatises about why Barbie isn’t feminist or why she’s blah blah blah, but for me, it was about the fashion and it was about having a womanly-proportioned doll to dress up.

Star: Jennifer Lawrence feels ‘threatened’ by Brie Larson’s awards success

Jan 29, 2016 celebrityabout

There’s a long history with tabloids setting up Jennifer Lawrence to be some kind of massive Mean Girl, looking to take down her actress contemporaries with a single Doritos fart. Maybe I’m a J-Law Apologist, but I don’t think she’s that girl. Is she totally capable of being mean, judgy and rude? Of course she is. But I don’t think she operates like everything is zero-sum gain, like she can be the only successful woman in Hollywood because there can only be ONE. I think back to when J-Law was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for American Hustle, and she was up against Lupita Nyong’o. Just my opinion, but it always seemed like Jennifer actively did NOT want to win that year, and she really wanted Lupita to have her moment to shine. That’s what I was thinking about when I read this Star Magazine story about how J-Law is Mean Girling Brie Larson. Brie and Jennifer are both nominated for Best Actress this year, and most people believe Brie is the major frontrunner for the award. Again, I suspect that J-Law is fine with that. And to hear Brie tell it, they know each other and they’re friendly. Brie said as much in her recent THR profile, saying: “I met Jen seven years ago at a photo shoot. We bonded over the craft service table; we were the only ones eating the doughnuts.” Still, Star’s source says J-Law is trying to quietly destroy Brie! Jennifer Lawrence isn’t happy about having to share the It Girl limelight with critical darling Brie Larson. “Jen’s starting to feel the heat,” says a source close to Brie. “She’s made it clear to friends that she does not want Brie in her crew – she thinks Brie is her biggest competition and she’s probably right.” Although her reps deny a rift, sources say Jennifer is so threatened that she even ordered BFF Amy Schumer to avoid Brie at the Golden Globes, but her Mean Girl plan backfired. “Brie was in Amy’s movie ‘Trainwreck’ so they get along well. But Amy spent most of the night trying to keep Brie away from Jen!” And while Jen knows she can’t be Hollywood’s favorite forever, she refuses to pass the baton gracfully. “She’s be smarter to make Brie a friend, not an enemy,” says the source. [From Star Magazine, print edition] OK Magazine had a similar story about Brie and Jennifer’s “feud,” with sources claiming that “Jen just didn’t hit it off with Brie” and “Brie was a little uptight for her liking and that she couldn’t hang.” And for what it’s worth, Gossip Cop spoke to an unnamed source on Team J-Law and the source claimed that the alleged rift is bulls—t. Sure. Do I believe that Brie and Jennifer are not BFFs? Sure. Do I believe that J-Law is, like, actively trying to shun Brie? Of course not. Photos courtesy of WENN, Fame/Flynet.

Nick Jonas: I’ve Done a Lot of Drugs & Had a LOT of Sex!

Jan 27, 2016 celebrityabout

Have you heard? Nick Jonas is all grown up. We’re telling you this as a favor to Nick, because the dude has basically devoted the last three years of his life to letting the world know that his Disney boy band days are behind him. If Nick hooking up with Kate Hudson didn’t convince he’s an adult who totally does sex on the reg, some comments he made in a recent interview should do the job. Apparently, NiJo plays an aggressive frat douche in an indie film currently in competition at Sundance. It’s the role he’s been studying for his whole life, bro! And he’s totally, unintentionally hilarious when he talkls about it: “I think that growth is super important in any creative platform and in life in general, and in the TV show I’m doing a lot of drugs and I’m having a lot of sex, so it wasn’t foreign to me,” Nick told a reporter, presumably with a straight face. “And I’ve had sex and drank a lot [in real life], so there are parts of this film that are perfectly real in some sense. “It’s the responsibility of any artist to say, ‘This is what I’m connected to, this is what inspires me, and hopefully you can ask the same questions I’ve asked of myself.’” So there you have it. Nick doesn’t just have Kate Hudson posting photos of her ass for him, he also drinks the alcohol and stays up til midnight. We bet if you have a problem with that, he’s got some sassy response all ready to go. View Slideshow: 22 Adorable Photos of Nick Jonas

Kristen Stewart: Conversations about gender pay disparity are ‘boring’

Jan 26, 2016 videos

Embed from Getty Images While I am legitimately disappointed that so many non-white artists were snubbed with #OscarSoWhite, I’m also a little bit disappointed that Kristen Stewart was snubbed too. Kristen walked away from this year’s awards season with some surprise critics’ awards for her work in Clouds of Sils Maria, and there were some hopes that she would make a late surge and end up with an Oscar nomination. Alas, it was not to be. But a lot of people like the current version of K-Stew. She’s less lip-bitey and she’s leaning in to her indie roots. Kristen is currently at Sundance to promote the drama Certain Women, and she chatted with E! News about what’s next for her career: Whether she’s offered roles in franchises all the time: “They’re not too common. Trust me, I would love to find a big doozy of a movie that’s interesting and worthwhile.” Would she play a superhero? “Maybe. Go print that—I can’t wait to play a superhero.” She really wants to direct: “Hopefully as soon as humanly possible. I really want to. I have to find the right thing. I started working when I was nine. I love this industry. I love what movies can do so I’ll find my story.” She’s been to Sundance many times & she loves indie films: “I’m not totally biased. I really like making the small ones and I like making the big ones. It’s just when you get the right people together who really care about something, who are not solely interested in getting just love and attention and money and stuff and it’s really for the love of the meditation on a subject and getting into something and baring your soul, [Sundance] is the perfect place to do it.” [From E! News] Since I was snowed in for the better part of three days (damn you, snowpocalypse!), I watched Avengers: Age of Ultron like three times on one of the premium cable channels. I was struck again by Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlett Witch role, which, to Olsen’s credit, she played well, the perfect mix of camp and legit drama. I wonder if that’s the kind of thing Kristen wishes she was up for – a supporting part in a Marvel movie, something like that. Or does she wish she could be Wonder Woman, steering her own franchise? I think it’s interesting that Kristen has been saying variations of “I’d love to do another big movie/franchise again” for the past year too – I mean, I know she’s not broke so it’s not like she needs the money. I think she’s just spent some time reevaluating what Twilight gave her, and she’d like another crack at a franchise, this time as an adult. Oh, and I saw this too late – Kristen spoke to Variety and she was asked about gender pay disparity. You can watch the video here, which I would recommend. She seems to acknowledge her privilege at the beginning, but she also basically tells women in the industry to suck it up. At one point, she says: “Instead of sitting around and complaining about that, do something. Go write something, go do something. And that’s easy to say. Like, f–k, it’s hard to get movies made. It’s a huge luxury. Who gets to just make movies? But that subject is just so prevalently everywhere right now, and it’s boring.” Oh, the discussion about inequality is boring, K-Stew? Just wait until she tackles #OscarsSoWhite. Embed from Getty Images Embed from Getty Images Photos courtesy of Getty, Fame/Flynet.

Gwen Stefani doesn’t look Blake Shelton’s gift horse in the mouth

Jan 26, 2016 celebrityabout

Embed from Getty Images It looks like Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s relationship is definitely heating up. A source recently told E! News, “They have been having some great times with each other the past few months and are on the same page of life now.” Although the rumors that Gwen might be pregnant with Blake’s child have faded into the background, the couple does have a new mouth to feed – a horse. The singer posted a few pics of the horse on her Instagram feed, with one captioned “My new bunny #bestpresentever.” My new bunny #bestpresentever hi Halo ?? gx A photo posted by Gwen Stefani (@gwenstefani) on Jan 24, 2016 at 10:25am PST The second featured the horse ready to hit the trail with a saddle and some cool fringe accessories. (You know Gwen would make sure her horse was fashionable.) It is a gorgeous animal. Some commenters have mentioned that the horse is saddled incorrectly, but it’s hard to verify that. Look at my fancy fringe!! #cantbelivemylife Gx #Halo A photo posted by Gwen Stefani (@gwenstefani) on Jan 24, 2016 at 10:29am PST Blake, who has recently taken to Twitter to address conflicting headlines about the couple, has remained mum on the new arrival, but it’s assumed that he purchased the animal for his lady love. The family that rides together, stays together, right? Well, maybe not. Blake and ex Miranda Lambert had horses and look how that turned out. As someone who has asked for a pony for many a birthday (as an adult as well), I think it’s a sweet gift. I do wonder if Gwen’s ever been on a horse though. I’m having a hard time picturing her in one of her designer ensembles and L.A.M.B heels on a horse. But I’m sure she’ll get the hang of it and be a cowgirl in no time at all. The experience could serve as the inspiration for a new Western wear line. You never know what kind of fug fashion Gwen could come up with next.

Jennifer Aniston rolled up to the Critics Choice Awards with ‘two burly bodyguards’

Jan 19, 2016 marc

People are still talking about Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s appearance at the Critics’ Choice Awards. Personally, I think the awfulness of her Saint Laurent dress is totally a two-day story, but there are other moments to discuss. Like, Jennifer wasn’t just there as the wife of a nominee – Justin also got to present an award alongside Liv Tyler. And when he was on stage, Jennifer couldn’t see him, so she ordered someone to “MOVE!” Jen Aniston doesn't like it when she can't see her hunky hubby #movebytch #getoutdaway >> https://t.co/wtPNL4bpdW — Reel Deel D (@s3nsitiv3_D) January 18, 2016 Not only that, but Jennifer seemed to have a bizarre reactions to Kate Beckinsale walking on stage. What’s up with this? Kate’s dress is clearly better than Jennifer’s sad bust ruffle and center seam. Or is Jennifer making a face about Kate’s light Botox? Because Jennifer shouldn’t even start. #JenniferAniston doesn't seem to like #KateBeckinsale's dress?? #CritcsChoiceAwards WTF pic.twitter.com/qqrcke8mGh — Ethan Van Sciver (@EthanVanSciver) January 18, 2016 But the real story might be that Jennifer rolled up to the Critics’ Choice Awards with two burly bodyguards in tow. Per Roger Friedman’s column: Jennifer Aniston– who came with husband Justin Theroux, nominated for “The Leftovers,” brought two burly security guards, just in case one of the celebrities got in her face. They stopped anyone from getting near her or taking a picture. Will Forte provided the overt comic relief with his half-shaven head, went over to Jen and posed for a picture, to which Jen quipped to the photographer, “Please fix his hair, while you’re at it, fix mine.” The bodyguards did serve an unwitting purpose however. The blocked the view between Paulson-Taylor and Paulson’s ex, the great theater actress Cherry Jones, known to TV audiences from “24.” Ouch. [From Showbiz411] If you’re going to argue that Jennifer needs bodyguards for her personal safety in general, sure. I don’t have a problem with that, and God knows what kinds of threats or craziness she gets. But it seems like Jennifer rolled up to a pretty low-key celebrity event and used her bodyguards to “protect” her from OTHER CELEBRITIES. Like, Sarah Paulson was going to fan-girl over Aniston and it was just going to be too much. And since Friedman noted it in this way, doesn’t it seem like Aniston was the only person there with bodyguards in tow? It’s less about safety and more like she didn’t want to interact with certain people, I guess? Photos courtesy of WENN.
