Benjamin Millepied left his position at Paris de Opera after just 15 months

Dancer Benjamin Millepied announced Thursday he’s stepping down as dance director at Paris’ premier ballet company. Millepied’s efforts to innovate at the storied Opera de Paris have met mixed reactions since his arrival 15 months ago, and French media have reported tensions between him and some of the company’s star dancers. He said in a statement that he’s leaving for “personal reasons,” and that his role didn’t allow him enough time for “creation and artistic expression.”

He sought to leave the Opera de Paris on friendly terms, appearing Thursday at a news conference with his successor, star dancer Aurelie Dupont, and Opera de Paris director Stephane Lissner.

“I am convinced we’ve opened up things that are really important,” Millepied said. “The future is bright. What’s important for me is to create, to be inspired by the parts. That’s what motivated me in the ballet and today this position (the dance director position) isn’t for me, it doesn’t suit me,” he told a news conference.

Speculation about a possible departure surfaced after a recent documentary in which Millepied said he still wasn’t satisfied with the level of dance. In an interview with Le Figaro in December, he said dancers should have more of a sense of entrepreneurship and fundraising — a concept foreign to many in France’s more traditionally funded cultural world. He was also quoted as saying, “To be a dancer is to express oneself, not to resemble a wallpaper pattern.”

His predecessor, Brigitte Lefevre, played down any resistance to his unconventional ideas, saying instead that Millepied didn’t have the necessary management experience for the job. “Directing a great institution doesn’t happen by itself,” she said on Europe-1 radio. “You must have competence and energy to manage each post, from administration to rehearsal.”

Boo Hoo, Lady GaGa Has Been “Gravely Mismanaged”

lady gaga

A week can’t go by without Lady GaGa finding something to come to the press about being hard done by – whether it be the press itself, the music industry, fame, life… you get the drift. This time around, the Lady is upset about the delay of her music video for ‘Do What U Want’, something that’s all her management’s fault. You see, her management is apparently shit and are always delaying her projects and interrupting her artistic vision, so what better way to solve such an issue than to take to her website and post a rant?

It is late because, just like with the Applause video unfortunately, I was given a week to plan and execute it. It is very devastating for someone like me, I devote every moment of my life to creating fantasies for you. All my my most successful videos were planned over a period of time when I was rested and my creativity was honored. Those who have betrayed me gravely mismanaged my time and health and left me on my own to damage control any problems that ensued as a result. Millions of dollars are not enough for some people. They want billions. Then they need trillions. I was not enough for some people. They wanted more. I am very grateful to the photographers and designers who have always stood by me to make sure my fans are never aware of the things that happen behind the scenes, but unfortunately after my surgery I was too sick, too tired, and too sad to control the damage on my own. My label was not aware that this was going on. The next few months of ARTPOP will truly be its beginning. Because those who did not care about ARTPOP’s success are now gone, and the dreams I have been planning can now come to fruition. Please forgive me that I did not foresee this coming, I never thought after all the years of hard work that those I called friends and partners would ever care so little at a time I needed them the most. Give me a chance to show you the meaning of seeing art all around you. Open your hearts to me again that I may show you the joy of us coming together through our talents, that we are stronger as a unit than when we are alone. Let me be for you the Goddess that I know I truly am, let me show you the visions that have been in my mind for two years. I love you. Forgive me monsters. Forgive me ARTPOP. You are my whole world.

“Forgive me ARTPOP”? Is she touched in the head or something? Last time I checked, an inanimate object/artistic concept doesn’t care about your apologies. Also, I love that she talks about how she got rid of the people who didn’t care about ARTPOP’s success. Well, that’s a bit of a doozy since there wasn’t much “success” with this album to care about… In all seriousness, of course it’s important to work with people who care about what you’re doing, but with how far her head is up her own ass, I can imagine it’d get rather wearing quite quickly.

I used to really enjoy Lady GaGa at face value, though I always thought she was full of bullshit and slightly unhinged, but the music was good, at least. Now she’s so hit or miss – with most swings being serious misses – that I don’t really know what to say about her anymore. She’s just awful.

Eddie Cibrian: ‘A $50-million divorce… they just have no fact checking whatsoever’

wenn20821587

Two nights ago, Eddie Cibrian spent the majority of his time on the red carpet for The Best Man Holiday trying to wrestle his way out of his wife’s Falcor grip. She was grabbing him, rubbing him and putting her tongue on him throughout the red carpet, and it was uncomfortable. And kind of funny. It was just the kind of show we expected following last week’s tabloid reports of the trouble in delusional paradise. Also funny: when Eddie finally managed to pry LeAnn’s talons off of his body, he then had to defend his marriage to the press outlets on the carpet. Eddie went to Access Hollywood and said this:

Cibrian said, “It’s just ludicrous. They say we’re going through a $50-million divorce… they just have no fact checking whatsoever.” Eddie added that he and LeAnn just laugh off the rumors. “Most of the time, all you can do is laugh because it’s so out there and outrageous.”

Cibrian explained that they decided to do a reality show in order to dispel rumors. “There were a lot of things going on, reasons why we made this decision. One of them was that people have misconceptions. The tabloid fodder is just out of control. People think they know us, and they don’t, so we wanted to give them a glimpse into who we really are.”

Eddie said his wife’s support means the world to him. “I’ll go with her and support her when she’s going out in concerts. She’s here to support me… that’s what a married couple does.”

[From Extra]

Although I don’t think he’s very bright, I think the wording Eddie has been choosing for the past week… well, it’s been very interesting. All of his words are very open to parsing and analysis. Like, “They say we’re going through a $50-million divorce… they just have no fact checking whatsoever.” Okay, so what part needs to be fact-checked? The $50 million figure? Because he’s right – their combined assets do NOT equal $50 million. Maybe $20-25 million on a good day. Also, gotta love that he worked in a shill for the reality show. LOL.

A source (with hooves and talons) also told Us Weekly: “They’ve been laughing off rumors of his infidelity. They really don’t take all the reports too seriously and have been doing fine.” Sure. Like, they’ve specifically been laughing and laughing about the infidelity rumors? But have they laughed about the rumors that their marriage is terrible? Have they laughed about the rumors that LeAnn is obsessed with his ex-wife to the point where she copies everything Brandi says, does and wears? No, they just laugh about the infidelity. Rumors.

LeAnn Rimes Is Going To Wear Lingerie In ‘Anger Management’

leann rimes

In case you missed it, LeAnn Rimes is going to be on Anger Management playing a love interest for Charlie Sheen, following in the illustrious footsteps of such great, respectable actresses as… Lindsay Lohan. Can’t wait for that! (Why is this piece of shit show still on the air?) In any case, not content to torture our eyeballs just when the episode airs, she’s taken to Twitter to post a photo of herself in lingerie ahead of her appearance. KILL ME NOW.

Here’s the tweet that accompanied the photo, as well her follow-ups throughout the day:

Well, glad to see she’s got a bit more body confidence now, at least. Tune in July 11, if you actually dare.

Paula Deen probably going to be fired from QVC too, her empire is crumbling

I’m not calling anyone out in particular, I’m just going to say this as a general word of warning: let’s try to keep the comments less racially-charged and less name-cally. I’m not mad, I just don’t think this Paula Deen issue should divide everyone. Even I’m not immune – CB and I were discussing it yesterday and we disagreed on some aspects of the situation too. But no name-calling, mmkay? So, let’s get to the latest stuff. As we discussed yesterday, Paula has been fired from The Food Network after she admitted a slew of racist acts in a deposition in a civil case. Following the news of the deposition, Paula’s crisis management was extremely lacking, and she abruptly canceled a Today Show appearance and she couldn’t even get her act together enough to release one good apology video. So, the Food Network fired her and now, just like I said, the rest of her empire is crumbling. A QVC spokesperson is now saying that Paula’s QVC deals are in danger too:

Another serving of drama may be coming for Paula Deen, who could lose more deals on the heels of her firing from the Food Network.

A representative for the shopping network QVC, which sells her cookware, released a statement Sunday to PEOPLE that expressed “concerns [over] the unfortunate Paula Deen situation,” adding, “QVC does not tolerate discriminatory behavior.”

Following the celebrity chef’s admission that she used a racial slur in the past, the network is “closely monitoring these events and the ongoing litigation,” continues the representative’s statement, which was first reported by TMZ. “We are reviewing our business relationship with Ms. Deen, and in the meantime, we have no immediate plans to have her appear on QVC.”

Deen, 66, issued a statement less than 24 hours after the Food Network announced on Friday it was dropping the longtime star.

“I have had the pleasure of being allowed into so many homes across the country and meeting people who have shared with me the most touching and personal stories,” she said. “This would not have been possible without the Food Network. Thank you again. Love and best dishes to all of y’all.”

Deen also has a book, titled Paula Deen’s New Testament: 250 Favorite Recipes, All Lightened Up, due to arrive in stores this October. Her publisher, Random House, Inc., has not cancelled her contract. However, a spokesman for Random House, whose imprints include Ballantine Books, tells PEOPLE, “We are monitoring the situation closely.”

Deen’s cookware is also sold at Target, Sears, Walmart, J. C. Penney, and Kmart. Last January, she announced a partnership with Novo Nordisk when she revealed she has type 2 diabetes. The drug maker is standing by her.

“Paula Deen’s still a product spokesperson for the Victoza brand. We recognize the seriousness of these allegations and will follow the legal proceedings closely, staying in contact with her. As a company committed to improving the lives of people with diabetes, Novo Nordisk engaged Deen as a spokeswoman because of Paula’s commitment to increasing awareness about diabetes to millions of people in this country.”

And they aren’t the only ones watching the situation. Sears Holdings told PEOPLE late Sunday that “the company is currently exploring next steps as they pertain to Ms. Deen’s products.”

[From People]

If I take this situation out of its racially-charged packaging, it’s still just a clusterwhoops of bad management. I will give Paula some free advice: start scheduling interviews now. Sit down with Gayle King, with Oprah, with Al Roker, with Piers Morgan and Diane Sawyer. Do a full-on apology tour. Explain yourself, apologize profusely and be honest. Then, settle the civil case. If you don’t settle, the litigation is going to drip out for the next year and there will be more and more revelations and it will just get worse. Next, triage and save what you can of your empire. The Food Network shows are gone, for sure, but that’s not rock-bottom. Ugh, I can’t believe I’m advising her, but I literally believe that NO ONE is telling her this stuff.

Also – there’s a “Support Paula Deen” Facebook page and it’s already gotten more than 220,000 likes. Which is impressive, but… I hope Paula doesn’t think that’s going to save her butter, you know?

Charlie Sheen Hates Selma Blair And Wants To Give Mila Kunis $10 Million

selma blair chateau marmont 2013

Charlie Sheen is on the warpath, everyone. After (justifiably but still) flipping out over Farrah Abraham‘s antics, he’s now turning his crazy warlock ass on Selma Blair. Ms. Blair has been acting on his show, Anger Management, but now he wants her fired. And he wants alleged roller-skating super bitch Mila Kunis. From TMZ:

We’re told it all started when Selma complained to “AM” execs that Charlie was a menace to work with — claiming he’s late all the time and has a shoddy work ethic.

Problem is … the actor found out about it and was super pissed. We’re told Charlie felt Selma was out of line considering he’s the star of the show. And he specifically referenced himself learning 40 pages of lines per episode compared to her 2.

But sources close to Sheen tell us the actor did more than just complain … he told everyone HE FIRED SELMA altogether — although it’s unclear how official it was.

Charlie then made it clear to “AM” honchos … if Selma shows up to set Monday — when the show is scheduled to shoot — he’ll refuse to work.

And there’s this … we’re told Charlie now wants to extend an offer to Mila Kunis (a.k.a. Ashton Kutcher‘s GF) for a 10 episode arch … at $1 MILLION per episode.

Quick question: WHY IS ANYONE STILL WORKING WITH CHARLIE SHEEN?

Oh and Charlie, no way Mila Kunis is coming near your show. She is way out of your league, in celebrity guest star terms.

God I hate this dick.

2013 Ad Alcohol celebrities clothes Crazy Friends Fuse gues guess H&M Jail Lindsay Lohan Lindsay Lohan lockdown lingerie Management Money Owe Party photos Rehab shoes shorts thin

Lindsay Lohan will still be able to take Adderall if she goes to rehab (or jail)

Here are some photos of your Cracken, Lindsay Lohan, in Brazil over the past five days or so. She’s being paid some crazy amount of money to promote a clothing line called “John John” and of course, I guess she’s being paid to party at some Sao Paulo clubs too. She’s a complete mess, but I guess we’re supposed to think “Oh, she looks like she’s having fun, good for her.” Anyway, would you like your Crack Update? There’s a lot of stuff:

*TMZ says that prosecutors are still trying to figure out what to do about Lindsay’s “lockdown rehab” (which doesn’t exist). They will either put her in regular rehab (where she’ll be able to drink and do crack with few repercussions) or jail. The prosecutors might have to go to the judge again to get him to sign off on whatever.

*But it doesn’t really matter because Lindsay has already made arrangements to continue taking Adderall no matter what. Lindsay has been taking Adderall – meant for AD/HD, which no one knows if she really has – for years, and she’s demanding to be allowed to take it in rehab (or jail, I guess). Incidentally, you’re really not supposed to mix Adderall with alcohol. AT ALL.

*You know how Lindsay crack-heisted a bunch of stuff from the set of Anger Management? Yeah. TMZ claims that “Lindsay decided she was going out clubbing one night, and took a bracelet, a necklace, earrings, pants and shoes from the wardrobe department. Yes, the stuff never came back.” Apparently, Lindsay told producers to “just take the value of the items out of her salary, but… that ABSOLUTELY wasn’t the deal.” And Lindsay was “the biggest prima donna ever on ‘Anger Management.’ She showed up 2 hours late the second day, refused to come out of her trailer for 2 hours, left early to go clubbing and threatened not to return.”

*But of course the Cracken denies all of that. She’s “telling friends” like TMZ that she had a “deal” with producers that she could crack-heist anything she wanted and they could take it out of her salary. She says she took “2 bracelets, a necklace, sunglasses, a pair of shoes, gold earrings, a silk bathrobe, lingerie and tap shorts.” Of course it gets more complicated than that, but I can’t even start – just read the story here.
