Dressing Up for Red Carpet Not Fun for Pregnant Maya Rudolph

Karl Erikson — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:35:00 GMT

Pregnant comedienne Maya Rudolph stars in the new movie "Away We Go" with The Office star John Krasinski and it looks pretty funny. In the movie, Maya had to wear a make-believe baby bump. But she's not sporting a fake bump these days. The mom of 3-1/2-year-old Pearl is expecting Baby #2 with husband Paul Thomas Anderson.

When she showed up at the red carpet affair for her new movie premiere (which opens Friday), she talked about getting all dolled up for these Hollywood affairs. In short, "not fun."

"I do my best," Maya said. "This is super dressed up." Talking about her pregnancy, she said, "I was sick as a dog for the first trimester, but now I'm totally fine."

Sam Mendes, director of Rudolph's new movie, joked, "It's an amazing act of selflessness that Maya Rudolph agreed to become pregnant a second time to promote this movie."

Slumdog Kids Finally Get A Home!

Josh loposer — Wed, 27 May 2009 21:00:00 GMT

Since the incredible success of Slumdog Millionaire at the Academy Awards, most news about the production has been pretty un-inspirational.

On the one hand, you've got people piling on director Danny Boyle and the producers for not making these kids rich, and on the other, you've got Mumbai officials bulldozing the shanty towns where the child stars live. Well, get ready for some good news.

Danny and co. have made good on their promise to get these kids off the street. According to reports, Azharuddin Ismail (the kid who played young Salim) and his family are in the process of moving to their new home, purchased by the Slumdog trust fund. Here's how a director of the fund described the place:

"comfortable, in a good neighborhood (and) near his school" and cost "upwards of 2 million rupees" ($42,000).

As for Rubina Ali, the actress who played young Latika, Boyle says they are currently shopping for a home for her family as well. Awesome!

Both families were displaced when Mumbai housing officials bulldozed their shanty town with no prior notice.

Brooke Shields Wishes She Lost Her Virginity Sooner

Karl Erikson — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:09:00 GMT

The June issue of Health magazine is out and Brooke Shields is in it talking about sex. The former child star and model used to be quite uncomfortable with her looks. "I had the public and this pressure," Brooke says, wishing she'd loved her looks much sooner in life.

"I think I would have had sex a lot earlier," she said. "I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did at 22." 22? I call bull. I SAW her and Christopher Atkins go at it in "The Blue Lagoon!"

Brooke, now 43 and still drop-dead gorgeous, says that if she'd gotten laid sooner "I think I wouldn't have had issues with weight. I carried this protective 20 pounds in college. It was all connected. And to me, that's a health regret."

Hard to imagine Brooke Shields having self-esteem issues, having dated people like John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Prince Albert of Monaco. Hell, she was married to Andre Agassi. But we all have our issues, I guess.

Nowadays, Brooke is married to television writer Chris Henchy, and the couple have two daughters - Rowan, 6, and Grier, 3.

She says that she's become much easier on herself as she's gotten older. "The older I get, the younger I feel," Brooke says. "The older I get, I actually feel younger! Which is good. I always thought when you get older, you’ll want to slow down, but I want to do even more."

Brian Grazer's Prenup Still Makes Wife Rich

Karl Erikson — Mon, 25 May 2009 16:35:00 GMT

Uber producer Brian Grazer's marriage is now officially finished. Papers filed last week in Los Angeles courts reveal the big pay-off to Brian's wife, Gigi, despite a prenuptial agreement. That means you gold digging women are free to glom onto Mr. Grazer.

Gigi originally asked for almost $1 million a MONTH in support for her and the kids. After 12 years of marriage, the couple have two sons: Thomas, 10, and Patrick, 5. Instead, she's getting a one-fer payment of $4.5 million. Then another $8.75 million to pay off some property in her name.

And rather than a million dollars a month in support, Gigi and the kids will have to survive on a measly $40k per month. I don't know how they're going to make it. Oh, and Brian is paying her lawyer fees, which amount to $488,977.

Brian and Gigi will share custody of the kids. Brian has two other children from a previous marriage...son Riley, 23, and daughter Sage, 21.

Word on the street is that Brian is now dating a pianist named Chosan Nguyen. That's her on the left right there. She's pretty, and yet somehow accepts Brian's ridiculous hair.

Foodie Giada de Laurentiis Covers Redbook and Rachel Ray

Karl Erikson — Mon, 25 May 2009 14:34:00 GMT

What I really want to see is a Food Network Catfight between Giada De Laurentiis and Rachel Ray. Guess I'll have to wait for another day. Mommy Giada covers Redbook magazine and talked a little about her reported fighting with Rachel Ray.

"Do we hang out all the time? No," Giada says. "Are we best friends? No. But if you’re not best friends, people assume that you hate each other. We laugh about it. We do these festivals together, and she’ll say to me, ‘Oh, we’d better take a picture together and smile, because if we don’t, God only knows what’s going to get written about us.’ She’s a lovely person."

Giada also talks a bit about her daughter Jade, now 1. She's not a fussy eater, Giada says. "She loves grilled lamb chops and eats quinoa." Quinoa? What the hell is quinoa? Getting children to eat healthy food is important, she says. "You have to make food fun."

As for being "too sexy" for a cooking show, Giada says, "I think it’s okay to cook and be sexy. Why not? I do get a lot of emails from women, saying to me, ‘You don’t have to show cleavage to get the male audience.’ I don’t need to. That’s just how my body type is, and I’m very comfortable with what I have."

You naysaying women can shut your mouths. I'm very comfortable with what Giada has, too.

David Beckham Tells Victoria "I Want a Girl!"

Karl Erikson — Fri, 22 May 2009 20:32:00 GMT

Rumors aside, Victoria and David Beckham are getting along just fine. Just last week, Victoria flew to watch her husband play a soccer match in Milan. However, as they come up to their 10th wedding anniversary, there is one thing looming over the Beckhams' marriage: David wants a daughter. A source says, "Victoria wants to make her husband happy, but feels she's working hard trying to do that and isn't in the right frame of mind to get pregnant and take on another child."

"This is a source of rumbling tension between the couple because David wants another child desperately."

The couple already have three children: Brooklyn Joseph, 10, Romeo James, nearly 7, and Cruz David, 4. Guess the waters are safe now for a daughter. With three older brothers, the girl won't be able to date until she's past college.

Big Brother's Julie Chen and Her Little Baby Bump

My favorite Big Brother robot, Julie Chen, was present yesterday in NYC for the CBS upfronts (where TV networks present the fall schedule for advertisers). She showed with hubby Les Moonves, who happens to be the President of CBS.

Just the tiniest baby bump is visible within that grandma outfit Julie is wearing. She's due October 4 and swears that the baby will not deter her from her Big Brother hosting gig. "I e-mailed my boss and I said, 'Don't worry. I can still do the show!'," Julie says.

Guess it helps when you're sleeping with the boss.

Bristol Palin and Son Tripp Cover People

Karl Erikson — Thu, 21 May 2009 19:33:00 GMT

Bristol and her baby son, Tripp, are on the new cover of People. Education is on Bristol's mind, even as a teenage single mother. In fact, Bristol gave birth to Tripp and then went back to Wasilla High School to finish the year with a 3.49 GPA!

Mom Governor Sarah Palin says, "I'm so proud of her."

While she considers college, Bristol is busy trying to help with teen pregnancy prevention. "Girls need to imagine and picture their life with a screaming newborn baby," she says. "Then think before they have sex. If girls realized the consequences of sex, nobody would be having sex. Trust me, nobody."

Um, Bristol? Hate to break it to you, darling, but most people don't think you get pregnant by sitting on a toilet seat. Teens are still having sex. Many of them are STUPID teens, true, but knowing that sex produces babies isn't exactly cutting down on the teen sex.

Poor Kate Gosselin! "Tabloids Turning My Life into Hell!"

Karl Erikson — Thu, 21 May 2009 18:35:00 GMT

Kate Gosselin says she's hit the breaking point with all the tabloid coverage of her and her husband, Jon's, lives. Living under the microscope is finally taking its toll.

"Before this, I'd never stood on line at the grocery store, looked at the people on the cover of magazines, and thought about what they're going through," Kate told People magazine. "I'd never thought, 'Oh my god, this is totally doing them in.' But now, I understand what they live with: Everywhere you go you're being stalked, you're being followed - it's hell, on the cover of a magazine."

While she says that she's an easy target for gobs of people dressing her up as a monster, she finally came to grips with the attention. "In the first two and a half years that we were doing Jon & Kate Plus Eight, I felt very ugly towards fans. The gawking, that sort of response creeped me out. I was not willing or ready to accept what you get back when you put your life out there," Kate says. "At some point, I turned around and I realized, 'Okay, people are pulling for us, the feel inspired by us, they love us. It clicked: without the fans there is no show, without the show, there is no job."

But nowadays? The tabloids are covering the not-so-niceties in Jon and Kate's lives: rumors of infidelity (on both sides), rumors of their marriage being a sham, even Kate's hideous hair makes headines. God knows why women are emulating THAT.

"It's so scary," Kate says. "It's like one of those movies where you have to change your identity and go underground. I've been saying, 'Let's find a country where our show doesn't air, and let's just go there until this all dies.' I have to laugh about this, or else I'll cry. It's a matter of, when will they stop?"

Kate is doing her best to grin and deal with the maelstrom surrounding her and Jon, but if you want to tick her off, all you have to do is attack the kids. "I don't want them dragged into this. It kills me. I'm far from perfect, but I've started to prioritize what is important. My children are important. My attitude is important. My marriage is important, and though I don't know where that's going right now, I know I can definitely choose my attitude. And I know that I will never give up, I will not stop, I will not fail my kids. Everything else I can't control, I'm just going to have to learn to live with it."

Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford Hires Private Eye to Spy on Husband

Karl Erikson — Thu, 21 May 2009 16:36:00 GMT

The nasty court battle between pregnant Gossip Girl Kelly Rutherford and her soon-to-be ex-husband Daniel Giersch continues on. The estranged couple are fighting over their 2-year-old son, Hermes, and Kelly even hired a private investigator to video Giersch, saying that their son is in danger.

Kelly, 40, says that Giersch leaves the cover off the swimming pool, incredibly dangerous with a little child running around. "Hermes is very young," Kelly said in court documents. "He's very active, not water safe, and in a moment's notice, could fall into the swimming pool."

Video footage gathered over 3 days proved that the pool was definitely uncovered during that time, though nothing "egregious" was seen in the video. "Hermes is not in any danger whatsoever with regard to my pool," Giersch says, "because I have the pool fully coverd with an automatic pool cover. Hermes has no access to the pool area unless I take him to the pool myself."

Nevertheless, Giersch has been ordered by the court to keep the pool covered at all times unless he's nearby.

Another hearing tomorrow covers Hermes' potty training. I'm not even kidding. They'll be discussing whether it's too stressful for Hermes to try potty training while his parents are fighting over divorce and custody. These are the crucial things that tie up the court system in America, folks.

And during all of this, Kelly is pregnant with another baby, a girl, the second child for her and Daniel. She's due in about 3 weeks, too. I say Hermes will still be wearing diapers in 3 years.

Angelina Catches Brad and Jen Aniston Together!

Karl Erikson — Wed, 20 May 2009 22:03:00 GMT

The latest issue of Star, which came out today, reports that Angelina Jolie caught hubby Brad Pitt in the arms of Jennifer Aniston! Well, not LITERALLY in her arms, but she did catch him talking to Jen on the phone recently, and that's got Angie's and Brad's marriage teetering even closer to the edge.

Brad was in their Long Island home - where the family is staying while Angelina continues working on her latest film - and on the phone with his ex-wife in the wee hours of the morning. All the kids were asleep, of course, when Angelina came home from the set a little early and busted Brad on the phone!

An "insider" says, "Angie totally flipped out. She slammed her hand on the counter and stormed out of the room."

Brad ran after her after hanging up with Jen, but the damage was done. Angelina felt "betrayed and disgusted."

If I were Angelina, I'd be breaking out the Tomb Raider moves and kicking Brad's ass all over the house.

I don't even know how that relationship works. If you helped destroy a marriage and stole the man away, how could you ever be surprised if he went straying elsewhere? I mean, it's not like you can say, "He'd never do that."

Buffy's Michelle Trachtenberg Jumping for Joy Over Sarah Michelle Gellar's Pregnancy

Karl Erikson — Tue, 19 May 2009 11:35:00 GMT

With Buffy the Vampire Slayer preggers, another one of my fantasies bite the dust. I was always hoping Sarah Michelle Gellar would be having MY baby. No such luck. That freaking Freddie Prinze, Jr!

Now Sarah Michelle's former "Buffy" costar, Michelle Trachtenberg, is announcing that she's over the moon for her bud's pregnancy. She says she's "jumping for joy."

Michelle, 23, says she talks to Sarah Michelle "every other day. I'm super excited! I'm so very happy for her and Freddie. She's going to be an extraordinary mom. Good people make great parents."

Sarah Michelle is 32 and has been married to Freddie Prinze, Jr. since 2002. This will be their first child. Very cool indeed.

Course, Buffy is going to be sleep-deprived for the next 7 years, but still, she's fought worse. Sarah Michelle is about to return to television, and is now filming a new HBO series called "The Wonderful Maladys," about "three dysfunctional siblings living in New York and dealing with the loss of their parents years ago."

James Tupper Says Son Atlas is Like Unreasonable Boss

"Men With Trees" star James Tupper says that being a dad to newborn Atlas has been exhausting. James is also a stepfather to Anne Heche's 7-year-old son, Homer.

"It's a bit like having an unreasonable employer," James joked about Atlas. "He doesn't give breaks." Actually, Atlas is rather quiet. "I always imagine babies crying. He doesn't, really. He's very sweet. He's in a warm bath of love and attention."

And now, with word that NBC is ordering more eps of James' pilot - "Mercy," a medical dramedy - it looks like Homer's going to be "a bicoastal baby." What does Anne think about the left and right coasts thing? "She's taking it a day at a time," James says.

"Mercy" costars Taylor Schilling, Buffy hottie Michelle Trachtenberg, and Jamie Lee Kirchner. With the network upfronts this week, be on the lookout to see if the show is picked up. I'm already disappointed that Fox has canceled "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles." Hold me.

Mary Louise Parker Still Fuming Over Nude Scene in Weeds

Karl Erikson — Mon, 18 May 2009 21:04:00 GMT

The new season of Weeds begins in a few weeks, but star Mary-Louise Parker is still angry about the nude scene she did for last season's finale. She talked to MORE about that, being a single mom in the dating scene, and cosmetic surgery.

Regarding that infamous nude scene, Mary-Louise says she was okay with the sex scenes before that episode. It was the bathtub scene she had a problem with. "I didn’t think I needed to be naked, and I fought with the director about it, and now I’m bitter," she says. "I knew it was going to be on the Internet: ‘Mary Louise shows off her big nipples.’ I wish I hadn’t done that. I was goaded into it."

For their part, Weeds' exec producer (Roberto Benabib), defends the scene. He claims the nudity was necessary. "We felt at that point in her life, her defenses had been so thoroughly stripped away, there was a nonchalance to the nudity that informed the scene." Um yeah, that's producer speak for, "She's got great cans."

All that isn't to say Mary-Louise doesn't love her character, playing a widowed mom who deals drugs to make ends meet. "I like it the more extreme it is," she says. "Jenji Kohan [series’ creator] has been amazing in surprising me. But I don’t like it when it’s crass and crude for humor’s sake. And I don’t like it when it’s sentimental, when she’s a sweet mother. To me, she’s not that."

Talking about dating, Mary-Louise says that there are men who are scared of the single parent thing. "I had someone ask, 'Does this mean we can't go out anytime we want?' And I said, 'Yes, that's exactly what it means. It means you come fourth, because it's my kids, my job, my family.' I don't ever want to come first to anyone. It's too much pressure."

Mary-Louise has two children: William Atticus Parker, 5, and Caroline, who she adopted a couple of years ago from Ethiopia. William's dad is actor Billy Crudup.

She's also very anti-cosmetic-surgery. She's refused Botox or plastic surgery, even though she's 44, an age which Hollywood starts balking at the "older women."

"Somebody told me that they’d read that I had all this work done and showed me a picture, and it was totally airbrushed," Mary-Louise said. "It made me so mad. I don’t like what that says to other women. I’m 44, and I look OK for 44. I’m not trying to look 34."

OK? Mary-Louise, you look far better than OK. You're gorgeous. Don't change a thing.

Julia Roberts is a PTA Mom

Karl Erikson — Mon, 18 May 2009 19:02:00 GMT

Julia Roberts may not be doing a ton of movies these days, but that's because she's busy being a mom to kids Hazel, Finn, and Henry. She and hubby Daniel Moder took the kids to a school party yesterday in Malibu. Together, they mingled with other parents as the kids goofed around in the playground area.

Looks like Julia didn't even curse out any of the paparazzi this time. Maybe she's mellowing.

Julia is going back to work, though, in a new romantic comedy, costarring Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, and Jennifer Garner. The movie is called "Valentine's Day" and also stars Shirley MacLaine as Julia's mom.

Mommy Bryce Dallas Howard Plays Preggers in New Terminator Movie

Karl Erikson — Mon, 18 May 2009 15:36:00 GMT

When Hollywood bigwig director McG came to new mommy Bryce Dallas Howard with a role in the new Terminator movie a couple years ago, she figured she'd have to lose her baby weight, and fast. She'd just given birth to her son, Theodore Norman (now 2).

"I had a pregnant body with no child in it," Bryce said at the film's L.A. premiere Thursday.

McG gave her the role of Kate, wife of John Connor, who is played by Christian Bale. "I was so excited," Bryce says, "but then was just kind of waiting to tell him, 'I'm not in great shape right now.'" She gave McG the news and he said, "That's okay. Kate's really pregnant, that'll be even better."

During the filming of Terminator, Bryce - daughter of Ron Howard, another megastar director - started losing weight, even without any action scenes. "Naturally, just after a woman has a baby, she starts to lose weight," she says. "McG was throwing cookies at me the whole time. 'You're still eight months pregnant in the movie! Be careful! Continuity!"

Bryce laughs about it now, but she's happy to be back into her usual shape, having used "good old-fashioned diet and exercise, and homeopathy to help me get my hormones back in shape, because that goes crazy after you have a child."

Terminator Salvation starts in movie theaters Thursday. Can't wait. Hopefully, it'll be so good that it erases Terminator 3 from my memory.

Mark Wahlberg Finally Getting Hitched

What the freaking hell is Mark Wahlberg doing with Ella inside his t-shirt? Keeping her warm, I guess, but that's one stretchable t-shirt, that's for sure. Must be made out of ShamWows or something.

Ella is 5 years old now and asking lots of questions, like, "Gee, Daddy, when are you gonna wise up and marry my freaking mom?" So Mark did what his baby girl wanted...he asked the baby mama to marry him. Lickety split, too. I mean, he's only been dating Rhea Durham for EIGHT YEARS.

"Ella is very smart," a friend of the family said. "She wanted to know why Dad and Mom weren't married. It took him a while to get used to the idea of getting married. But now he can't wait for them to become man and wife."

Mark and Rhea will be married in a small ceremony at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Beverly Hills. And they're only having around 30 guests. Not very smart. How are you going to get any good wedding gifts that way?

Levi Johnston's Mom Says Relations with Palins are Thawing

Karl Erikson — Thu, 14 May 2009 22:02:00 GMT

Levi Johnston's mother, Sherry Johnston, has a big drug trial starting next week. She faces charges of selling OxyContin. And in the meantime, she says that relations between the Johnstons and the Palins are beginning to improve.

"When Bristol came to pick up Tripp this week, she said if we want him more often, all I have to do is call. She said if I want to come to their house, I can come over and see him all the time," says the 42-year-old grandmother. "I am hopeful we'll be able to work together to raise Tripp."

Still, Sherry says she wants to see Tripp more often. "We only see him a few hours a week, but I did get to spend time with him this morning. It tears me apart. Every time I see him he's a different child. Before he wasn't rolling over, now he is. Now he's trying to crawl. I am missing him so much that it tears me up."

Course, Sherry may not see Tripp much longer, depending on how the trial goes next week. She has a number of felony charges filed against her. In her defense, she says she's innocent and got hooked on OxyContin 8 years ago after a hysterectomy. That led to 7 more surgeries.

Hell, I'd probably get hooked on painkillers, too, if that were me. Still, that doesn't explain SELLING the drugs.
