Tilda Swinton: Usually Mistaken For Her Sons' Father!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 16:02:00 GMT

Actress Tilda Swinton admits that people often mistake her for a man because of her short hairstyle and she's usually called "Sir!"

Swinton, who has 11-year-old twin boys, Xavier and Honor, is usually mistaken for their dad.

"People call me 'Sir' in American hotels."

She adds, "I'm relatively tall, I don't wear make-up and I often wear my hair short.

"My son wears his hair long and we're often called father and daughter."

But Tilda, 48, takes it in stride. She actually loves playing male characters in movie roles.

"It's fun! Often there are poetic and creative moments in androgyny."

Surprise! George Clooney's A Dad!

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 19:35:00 GMT

George Clooney is one hot pop. At least according to patrons of swank Beverly Hills baby store Petit Tresor. The boutique polled their customers and asked who they thought was the hottest dad or dad-to-be in Hollywood, and childless Clooney was inexplicably on the list.

Dad-to-be Matthew McConaughey took first place (must be that smooth-as-a-baby's-bottom chest of his) and Ashton Kutcher came in second. Clooney came in third with an impressive 836 votes.

Maybe there's something George isn't telling us, or maybe those votes were cast by 836 friends of Sarah Larson who are trying to send the "Michael Clayton" actor a message.

Then again, could be that George just used the phrase, 'Come to Daddy' a little too often around town.

Sarah Larson's Biological Clock Ticked Too Loudly For George Clooney?

George Clooney and Sarah Larson: Boobs, Not Babies Blamed For Breakup

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 21:05:00 GMT

George Clooney likes small boobs. Which, contrary to what the restraining order says, means he could love me after all. Reports are saying that Clooney and girlfriend Sarah Larson split not because her biological clock was too loud, but because her boobs were too big. Yes, I've heard guys really hate that.

The actor apparently dumped the ex-cocktail waitress after she ignored his advice and went ahead and had her breasts surgically enhanced.

"George really didn't want her to get the boob job," a source tells In Touch Weekly. "Although she asked George if she could do her recovery at his house and he agreed."

I guess it was the changing of bandages and not the changing of diapers that scared George off.

Sarah Larson's Biological Clock Ticked Too Loudly For George Clooney?

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:05:00 GMT

If you're like me, you've been unable to sleep at night wondering why George Clooney dumped Sarah Larson. While we may never know (do you know how hard it is to hack into George Clooney's Blackberry?) I have a theory.

Shortly after Larson moved into Clooney's Hollywood Hills home earlier this year, Larson reportedly told friends that she wanted to have children soon because her "biological clock was ticking."

“Sarah feels her biological clock is ticking and wants to get pregnant by the time she’s 30,” the source said at the time.

So Sarah wanted a baby before 30. And how old is she now? 29. Case closed.

That's More Amore: Tilda Swinton, Sandro Kopp, and Two Others

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 05:25:00 GMT

Just how exactly do these people keep track of all their toothbrushes?

Tilda Swinton has always been open about her unconventional love life - the Michael Clayton actress lives in Scotland with lover John Byrne, 67, and their twin 10 year old boys, but she also has a relationship with Sandro Kopp, 29, a painter from Wellington.

Now it turns out the love triangle is actually a love square, with the revelation that Byrne also has a lover on the side: lighting director Jeanine Davis, 42.

Byrne, an director, playwright and artist, describes their situation as "relaxed and amicable."

"We have not hidden away and Jeanine is very much part of my life. Tilda knows all about it and is more than happy with the situation," he says in a recent interview. "Tilda has Sandro and the arrangement works very well."

Byrne also revealed that Davis has met his family and Kopp, Tilda's other lover. "I wouldn’t say we all socialised together but she has met Sandro and we have all been under one roof together ... I know some people will struggle to understand it, but it works for us.”

FameCrawler Oscar Picks: Where We Demonstrate That We Really Do Have an Opinion on Everything

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 20:35:00 GMT

Without a doubt one of the things keeping you up late at night is wondering "Who do the FameCrawler bloggers think will win big at the Academy Awards?" (Of course, that along with, "Who will Jamie Lynn take to Lamaze class?)

This must be your lucky day, because here are our completely unsolicited opinions (Sorry, can't help you out with the Jamie Lynn thing):

Sweatpantsmom:

Best Actress: Laura Linney (I love her. Ellen Page was great in Juno, but has no 'body of work.' That there is Academy-speak for "She ain't been in nuthin' else.")

Best Supporting Actress: Ruby Dee (First time nominated. She's 83, for chrissakes - just give it to her already.)

Best Actor: George Clooney (He's hot. And I still watch ER, hoping for him to make a surprise cameo.)

Best Supporting Actor: Hal Holbrook (See Ruby Dee, above)

Best Picture: Juno (Juno Juno Juno. Has anyone even seen the other movies?)

Whit:

Best Actress: I didn't see any of them, so I'll go with whoever looks the hottest.

Best Supporting Actress: See above.

Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis

Best Supporting Actor: That kid from There Will Be Blood. Oh, he wasn't nominated. Um, how about that rat from Ratatouille?

Best Picture: There Will Be Blood

Best Host: Jon Stewart (Lifetime Achievement to Billy Crystal)

Her Bad Mother:

Best Actress: Prediction: Julie Christie; Wish: Ellen Page

Best Supporting Actress: Prediction: Cate Blanchett (but will be happy if she or Tilda Swinton or that little Irish chick wins it)

Best Actor: Prediction: Daniel Day Lewis; Wish: Viggo (Johnny's hot, but Sweeney Todd? Nope. Viggo's hot AND deserving for that penis-baring knife fight)

Best Supporting Actor: Prediction/Wish: Javier Bardem

Best Picture: Toss-up: No Country For Old Men or There Will Be Blood. Can't call this one.

Karen:

Best Actress: Ellen Page because she is a Canucklehead like me.

Best Supporting Actress: Tilda Swinton because if I could have a celebs life it would be hers and Johnny Depp would be my boy toy. (See below.) Although the step-mom in Juno should have been nominated.

Best Actor: Johnny Depp - because he is my back-up husband and deserves it.

Best Supporting Actor: Phillip Seymour Hoffman because I'm a big fan of his work and he rocks and that's all you need to know.

Best Picture: Juno, hands down has to win because I'm a Mom and I said so.

Sassy Smith:

Best Actress: Julie Christie

Best Supporting Actress: Ruby Dee

Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis (totally want Johnny Depp to win but whatever..lol)

Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem

Best Picture: No Country For Old Men

George Clooney: Get Me The Hell Away From Britney Spears

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 23:35:00 GMT

George Clooney is moving. And it's all because of Britney Spears. The Michael Clayton actor just recently discovered that Spears lives nearby following the media frenzy that surrounded her meltdown last month. "I just found out, like, 10 days ago I must live within 300 or 400 yards from Britney Spears," the 46-year-old actor says. "I found out because I came home at 10 o'clock at night and there were all these helicopters over my house with these lights."

Clooney didn't mention the unsightliness of Brit's used Starbucks cups and empty condom wrappers littering the street, but I'm sure they were a factor in his decision to move.

Oscar Nominations: Johnny Depp Is Sick of His Good Looks

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 21:45:00 GMT

He may have been nominated for an Academy Award this morning, but Johnny Depp probably watched the announcements through his tears. The actor, who was nominated for his leading role in Sweeney Todd, says sarcastically, "I cry every morning when I look in the mirror. Every single morning, because I gotta live with this cute face."

Let's hope he pulls it together for the Oscars.

Oscar Nominations: A Mighty Disappointment For Angelina Jolie

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:45:00 GMT

Not everyone is celebrating the announcement of Academy Award nominations this morning. Angelina Jolie, who was on many critics' short list for a Best Actress nominee for A Mighty Heart, was noticeably absent off the list. In spite of scoring both Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations, Jolie's portrayal of Marianne Pearl, (wife of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl) failed to earn her an Oscar nod.

Us Magazine film critic Thelma Adams blames the slight on the film's poor box office performance as well as the release date of the film. The movie premiered way back in June, which she says could mean many voters simply forgot about the movie.

Or, maybe the other nominees are better actresses. Just a theory.

Oscar Nominations: Ex-Stripper Diablo Cody Gets a Nod for "Juno"

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 19:50:00 GMT

Taking off your clothes in public? People do it everyday in Hollywood, but few of them get nominated for an Oscar. Diablo Cody, who at one time made a living as a stripper, can now add Academy Award nominee to her colorful resume. Cody (whose real name is Brook Busey-Hunt) scored a nomination for her original screenplay for the hit indie film Juno. The movie, about a feisty 16-year old dealing with an unexpected pregnancy, got a total of four nominations including Best Picture.

A first-time screenwriter who also toiled as a phone-sex worker, Cody previously had some notoriety for her memoir, Candy Girl. The book chronicled her days working as a stripper while supporting her husband and then nine-year old stepdaughter.

Also important to note: Cody started off as a blogger on her site The Pussy Ranch. There's hope for all of us here: Today FameCrawler, tomorrow the Oscars!
