Brad Got Drunk, Stoned, Ended Up In Tarantino Movie

Josh loposer — Thu, 21 May 2009 17:00:00 GMT

Through the years, there's been much speculation surrounding Brad Pitt's love of the ganja, but this might be the first time he's owned up to it publicly.

Apparently, the meeting with Quentin Tarantino to discuss Brad's role in Inglorious Basterds involved some heavy drinking and pot smoking. Says Brad:

"All I know is we talked about backstory and we talked about movies into the wee hours. I got up the next morning and I saw five empty bottles of wine on the floor. Five. And something that resembled smoking apparatus, I don't know what that was... Apparently I had agreed to do the movie and six weeks later I was in a uniform."

I'm assuming/hoping that he's referring to a marijuana or tobacco smoking device, not a crack pipe.

Since their meeting in the summer of '08, rumor has it that Brad has abandoned his stoner ways and feels much more clear-headed, probably a good thing for his family life. Though, it's never stood in the way of Snoop Dogg's fathering abilities.

Celebrity Babies Get a Grip

Whit Honea — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 12:34:00 GMT

Are you old-school in the bottle department (baby not wine)? Some celebrities are, too. They are avoiding the toxic plastic bottles and going back to glass. In order to make the bottles safer to handle they're using these easy-grip sleeves. You can, too!

Is Sarah Palin's Marriage in Trouble?

Whit Honea — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:34:00 GMT

Sarah Palin has suddenly stopped wearing her wedding ring and started wearing a large bandage.

What goes on here?

Is the strain of it all getting to the Palin marriage? It would be understandable if that were the case. Between the kids, campaigning, and legal issues, they are fighting battles on many fronts and that can't leave much time for wine and roses. Maybe some Guns and Roses.

And then there is the bandage.

Polar bear attack? Was the wolf not quite dead yet? Paper cut from one of EVERY newspaper that she reads? Rope burn? Nelly fan?

Here's my theory, which is just a guess, and frankly not nearly as exciting as a moose bite: the disposal. This reeks of classic wedding ring in the garbage disposal. Nothing cuts a hand better than a dig through chicken bones and forgotten silverware.

But I'm not ruling out the moose thing.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Are Freakin' Insane

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:05:00 GMT

Just when I thought Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt might be kind of normal, comes this story that makes it clear they're crazy. I'm talking Shirley MacLaine crazy. The couple apparently weren't getting any good ideas from the Ikea catalog and decided to consult a psychic to help them determine the design of their unborn twins' nursery.

After consulting with Beverly Hills baby store Petit Tresor, Pitt and Jolie just couldn't decide whether the Diaper Genie should be encrusted with diamonds or rubies and a psychic was brought in.

“It’s totally true,” says a source who was privy to the meeting. “The psychic was to determine the ‘vibe’ of the twins.”

According to the source, Brad wanted the nursery to be "sort of ’60s modern," while Angelina wanted "a classic European nursery.” The psychic sided with Angie and determined the vibe was more girly than modern.

Then Angie and Brad asked the psychic to tell them what day the twins would be born, but then beat the crap out of her when she told them she had already sold the information to People magazine.

The End.

Psstt - Angelina Jolie Has A Secret!

Is Angelina Jolie In Labor?

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 10:17:00 GMT

Rumors are swirling that Angelina Jolie is about to give birth. Speculation started when the world premiere of her movie, "Wanted," was abruptly cancelled. The premiere was set to take place today in London's Leicester Square and the cancellation was confirmed by Jolie's co-star James McAvoy, who wrote about it on his personal blog saying, "Sorry to be the bearer of bad news..."

Of course, there have been some false alarms before so let's not start sending those expensive bouquets or buying those cigars just yet.

In fact, let me consult my psychic first...

Matthew McConaughey's Pregnant Girlfriend Enjoys a Beer

Whit Honea — Wed, 21 May 2008 22:36:00 GMT

Matthew McConaughey may have given up beer, but that doesn't mean his pregnant girlfriend Camila Alves has. Hey, she has a designated driver, why not!

To be fair, we don't know that the beer looking substance in the official beer cup of Dodgers Stadium is actually beer. It could be pee or expired ginger ale. Worse, it could be non-alcoholic beer which is about as useless as decaf coffee or fake bacon (facon?).

I'm not one to judge a woman having a small nip of something as her pregnancy progresses. Hell, we had plenty of nurses suggest that my wife have an occasional glass of wine towards the end of her pregnancies, but none of them mentioned tossing back some brews in the sun at the ol' ballgame. I couldn't even get them to say it was okay for me to do. What's up with that?

Tom Cruise and David Beckham in Bed Together

Whit Honea — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 21:07:00 GMT

No, I'm not trying to imply that they're going to polish off this little bottle of wine and then do things that Travolta only dreams about. Wait, that is what I'm implying, but it's just a joke. I'm fairly confident that Becks doesn't swing that way.

Not that there is anything wrong that.

The real point is that the two will be climbing into bed in the business sense, not the literal. Yes, it's business time.

Cruise and Beckham are considering buying a soccer team together, you know, because they can. Word on the proverbial street is that David is looking to make the leap from player to owner. Tom just likes to leap.

It seems rather curious that Tom and David are still going strong despite all of this and that. And this. I guess they're good like that.

Nicole Kidman DIDN'T Booze It Up At The Oscars. So Shut Up, You Nasty Idiots.

HerBadMother — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:42:00 GMT

That was a pretty salacious rumor, that story about Nicole Kidman getting all liquored up at the Oscars (okay, so maybe the story was not so much 'liquored up' as 'demanding small amounts of liquor, but still). Well, we now have an official denial, and one that is pretty juicy in itself.

About the story - originally posted at PageSix and repeated on PerezHilton - that Nicole was demanding, and getting, white wine at the Oscars Sunday night, her publicist - Catherine Olim of PMK - said this:

"I try to ignore your (Perez's) column, unlike most of the rest of the world, because it is so nasty. But I have to tell you that Nicole Kidman most certainly did NOT drink white wine or any other alcoholic beverage backstage. She had water and lemon zinger tea. That’s it. I know, I was there with her. I cannot remember that last time that Cindy Adams got anything right. She’s an idiot, and you can quote me."

AWESOME. She defends Nicole, AND slags Perez and Cindy Adams all in one swipe. Nicole: make this woman godmother of your child. Seriously. She rocks.

Nicole Kidman Drinking While Pregnant

Karen — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 14:06:00 GMT

Cindy Adams of Page Six is reporting that Nicole Kidman drank backstage at the Oscars.

"Boozing backstage during the Oscarcast is a no-no. But if you're pregnant Nicole Kidman it's a yes- yes. She wanted white wine. She got it."

Some may argue that a little wine is fine for baby. Some doctors say they don't know if any alcohol is harmful to the baby.

What do you believe?

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton Like the Cheap Stuff

Whit Honea — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 17:48:00 GMT

Let's face it, I make less money than these two guys combined. Barely, but true. Still, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp (and Michael Stipe?) do love a good bargain. They were spotted in London going through racks of ~~crap~~ items that would love a good home. It's nice to see that someone still cares about the flammable toys.

Johnny isn't always so frugal. He did just buy a lovely vineyard for his lady last week. That's a thoughtful gift.

Speaking of Tim Burton, we went to Disneyland yesterday and rode the Haunted Mansion, which is overlayed in a Nightmare Before Christmas theme, twice. In the words of my 4-year-old, "This is fantastic!" It was pretty cool.

My Garner is on Broadway or Roxanne, You Don't Have to Turn on the Spotlight

Whit Honea — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 21:03:00 GMT

Hey Jennifer Garner, you just opened on in Cyrano de Bergerac on Broadway! What are you going to do now?

"I'm ready for a glass of wine! I'm just happy that I stayed on my feet and said everything that I was suppose to say."

Um, Jenn, that's not the line. Stupid writer's strike.

Ben Affleck added his review of the nights performance, "She did fine! It was terrific, and I had a lot of fun." Fine? Is that the most ringing endorsement he could muster? I bet Affleck slept through the damn thing.

Luckily for Garner the real reviews have been a bit more exciting. Good for her (and Kevin Kline!).

Another Baby for Brangelina: Angelina Jolie is Pregnant

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 09:30:00 GMT

Sources in Italy are confirming that Angelina Jolie is pregnant. The Italian media was abuzz was last week with Brangelina pregnancy rumors after Jolie cancelled a high-profile appearance at the UN-affiliated Pio Manzu Centre. Letizia Manjani, a spokeswoman for the centre, slyly confirmed the news in an interview. “Angelina cancelled last week. Due to her privacy I can’t confirm her pregnancy, but I can say that the Italian newspapers are correct in their reports.”

This will be Jolie's second pregnancy with Brad Pitt, and their fifth child. Pitt has said that he would need to build a bigger bed to accomodate a new baby and children Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and Pax. Brad's probably at Home Depot as we speak, buying a new power saw and some lead-free paint.

I know there have been rumors before, but this time I believe it's true because it's coming from the Italians. After all, these are the people that make the world's greatest coffee, produce the finest wine and invented salami - I'm putty in their hands.

Heather Mills is The Best Mom EVAH!

Karen — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 22:45:00 GMT

Heather Mills spent over $200,000 on her 4 year old daughter's birthday party. With 60 kids in attendance, that's over $3K per kid. Holy overkill. Apparently Snow White, Cinderella, and Tinkerbell were there to entertain the rascals, and if that weren't enough, there were trampolines, fountains, a cinema, and a bouncy castle. 4 year old Beatrice recieved a pony for her birthday. Oh that's not enough?

The evening brought a black tie event for 100 of Heather's friends and later, a $10,000 fireworks display. Mobile phones were confiscated to avoid leaked photos.

Estranged husband Paul McCartney came and went in 20 minutes, because he can't stand Heather's family.

"Some guests took home champagne and wine but it’s peanuts to her. She just wants to be popular.”

Well that's a slap to the face. All these years I thought all it took to be popular was trips behind the trailer with the neighbourhood boys. Dang.

Bender Affleck: Is Ben Drinking Again?

Whit Honea — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 18:09:00 GMT

Is Ben Affleck back on the booze? According to a source the actor, who spent time in rehab for alcohol in 2001, was seen celebrating recently with pints of Guinness and a few glasses of wine.

Man, is it wrong to think that Guinness sounds good in the middle of the day?

The source said that Ben was the last one in the bar and had to be dragged out by friends.

I'm not going to throw stones yet. I love Guinness and I don't have any problem with a guy celebrating something big (the party was for his directorial debut, Gone, Baby, Gone, which appears to be doing well). However, if this is the beginning of a problem revisited, then that is a different story.

I'm giving Affleck the benefit of the doubt. I know I've said before that I used to think he was a tool, but writing about him 10x a day has caused me to appreciate him. He and his family are some of the more normal people that pass through the pages of FameCrawler.

An occasional Guinness is good for the soul (and breastmilk!), but in the meantime Ben should just stick with the Starbucks.

Sofia Coppola's Kid Hits the Bottle

Whit Honea — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 13:56:00 GMT

No, Sofia Coppola isn't pushing daddy's vino, although Francis does make a mean Claret ($15). She's just feeding daughter Romy a bit of the white stuff out of the classic Avent bottle (3 for $15, buy the wine). Hey, look, now I'm pushing daddy's vino. Oh well.

I really hope the tender moment pictured above is happening on a movie set, because my second guess is the grassy knoll behind some junkyard. That doesn't seem like a safe place for a baby.

(Romy also wears Trumpette Mary Jane baby socks, $22 for 6 pairs.)
