Celebrity About

Scarlett Johansson needs to sit down and shut the hell up, because she’s really working on my damn nerves lately. Between her Woody Allen lovefest commentary and this new bullshit, it’s clear that she takes herself WAY too seriously. In the new issue of Glamour, ScarJo (went there and always will now) revealed how much she HATES the nickname of ScarJo because it is – among other things – “violent” and “insulting”. Methinks someone needs a dictionary. “I associate that name with, like, pop stars. It sounds tacky. It’s lazy and flippant.” “And there’s something kind of violent about it. There’s something insulting about it.” Uhhhh… it’s so funny how much of a disconnect ScarJo seems to have in terms of words and what they actually mean. I mean, are celeb nicknames like RPattz, KStew and Brangelina annoying? I suppose, if you have nothing better to worry about. They’re also totally innocuous and not even a thing in the grand scheme of things. I think a little perspective would help our good friend here. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Beyoncé is still standing up for your sexuality

Apr 8, 2014 celebrityabout

Beyoncé is the cover star for OUT magazine’s Power Issue for May 2014, and as you can see, she’s doing some channeling of Marilyn Monroe here. (Side note: What’s with everyone’s obsession with Marilyn Monroe? Seriously, why?) In the issue, Bey gave her thoughts yet again on women’s sexuality and wants y’all to know you can turn up the heat in the bedroom and still be a lady on the streets: In the issue, Blue Ivy’s mother speaks out on behalf of her fellow females. “There is a double standard when it comes to sexuality that still persists,” says Bey. “Men are free and women are not. That is crazy.” She also encourages women to celebrate their sexuality. “You can be a businesswoman, a mother, an artist, and a feminist—whatever you want to be—and still be a sexual being,” she continues. “There is unbelievable power in ownership and women should own their sexuality.” Well, yeah. You know I love my Beyoncé, but this whole thing is getting a bit tired already. We know, we know, you love having sex with Jay-Z and you’re tired of being stifled by society’s expectations. I’m with you! Women should be able to do whatever men do and we deserve gender equality in all areas. But like… chill a bit. You’re not a politician, girl – you’re an entertainer.

Jillian Michaels wants off ‘The Biggest Loser’

Apr 8, 2014 celebrityabout

Hey look, it’s the first time Jillian Michaels and I have ever agreed on anything! Apparently she wants to leave The Biggest Loser since last season’s winner, Rachel Frederickson, got way too skinny – potentially due to an eating disorder triggered by the show. Apparently Jillian is too body positive for all that, which is a crock of shit, but let’s go for it. “She is deeply concerned about the direction the show has been taking,” a source tells PEOPLE. “She is turned off by the mean-spirited story lines and poor care of the contestants.” Now, “Michaels wants to distance herself from the Biggest Loser brand,” says the source. “Especially considering what happened with Rachel, her feeling is that there isn’t proper attention paid to the contestants’ health or wellness.” “They asked her to come back to boost the ratings and they needed her, but the Rachel thing shook her up,” says the source. At the finale, Michaels seemed visibly distraught to see Frederickson’s emaciated appearance. “The show uses her as the bad guy, and anyone who knows Jillian knows she’s not the bad guy at all. She’s a loving mother of two kids. She’s not the negative person they portray her as,” says the source. “She wants to be in a place where she has more respect.” LOL to Jillian being a “loving mother” – maybe that’s so, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t contributed just as much bullshit to the show’s unhealthy practices. Jillian has quite clearly shown her own distaste for overweight bodies, so she doesn’t work at giving compassion and understanding aside from a few heavily edited clips. She works at shaming people for being fat because she hated herself for being fat, so… there’s that. That being said, I kinda like her because I enjoy abrasiveness, but that show is TERRIBLE. Last season, Jillian’s team had a five pound weight penalty after it was discovered she’d been feeding them all caffeine pills all week to boost their weight loss. When questioned about it, she had ZERO remorse and said they were totally fine. G status! Follow us on Twitter | Facebook
