Olivia Munn at the Comedy Awards: pageanty famewhore or cute? Posted: 28 Mar 2011 05:17 AM PDT I have no idea why I've been covering so much Olivia Munn stuff. To me, she's almost exactly like Kate Bosworth or Rachel Bilson – which is to say, completely useless, a talent less famewhore. But unlike Bilson and Bosworth, Olivia is rather new to the famewhore game. It seems like it's just been within the past year that she's really begun to go to every single event, and tried to get her name in every single story. Maybe she got a new publicist or something. Maybe she's trying to show Justin Timberlake that she's got the right stuff to be his A-list girlfriend. Anyway, these are photos of Olivia Munn at last night's first annual comedy awards. For the most part, it was a sausage party of male comedians, but there were a few women there, and they were all dressed in suits or business-cocktail kind of outfits. Olivia was the only one wearing a bright pageant gown. And why is she there again? Oh, right. Because she's "funny". Because her schtick is "the hot girl who cracks jokes". Right. A little Jon Stewart, if it makes you feel better. But I'm still mad at him for hiring Olivia for The Daily Show. She's really ruined it, hasn't she? celebitchy Photos courtesy of WENN.

Fergie’s new, different look attributed to “new lipstick” Posted: 28 Mar 2011 05:11 AM PDT Since I don't watch American Idol, I missed Fergie's appearance on the show and the subsequent whispering about what she may or may not have done (lately) to alter her appearance. But from these photos taken at her birthday party in Las Vegas on Friday, I'm perfectly willing to discuss this now. Girl got something (else) done. Fergie has long been rumored to get the occasion nip, tuck, or complete overhaul over the years, and while it's difficult for me to pinpoint exactly what is new on her face this time, I can say that she looks much different than the last time I paid attention to her. Sure, she's lost some weight and she's got a tan. But losing weight and getting some sun doesn't change your appearance THIS much. Also – has she always been this stacked? I looked up older photos of her boobs, and yes, she's always had a nice-sized bust, these look… bigger. There is something else funny, though: the denial. Fergie loves her denial. And she married a man who loves denial too. He loves denial almost as much as he loves bonin' budget strippers. Josh Duhamel went on Ryan Seacrest's radio show and claimed that Fergie's new look is all natural, and actually pulls out this line: "I thought she looked amazing [on American Idol]. It's amazing. You put a different colour on your lips and, uh, rumours fly. But she's the same, she's the same Fergie… I sleep right next to her every night. I like it." Lipstick? For real? Oh, Josh. UPDATE: Here's a photo of Fergie from August 2010. I think it's something in the eye/eyebrow area: celebitchy/Photos courtesy of Fame. Incoming search terms: fergie ryan seacrest and julianne hough

Natalie Portman’s Black Swan ballerina body-double calls out the lies (update) Posted: 28 Mar 2011 05:08 AM PDT Earlier this week, we covered an interview the Los Angeles Times did with Benjamin Millepied, Natalie Portman's baby-daddy and choreographer on Black Swan. Benjamin seemed to be defending (sort of) Natalie from criticism that there was perhaps a white-washing regarding her ballet skills in Black Swan. Natalie's "stunt ballerina" Sarah Lane had given an interview in December where she claimed people from the studio "were trying to create this facade that she had become a ballerina in a year-and-a-half. So I knew they didn't want to publicize anything about me." Natalie Portman had talked a lot about how much work she did – more than a year of preparation in ballet and dance, transforming her body and losing weight – in many interviews while promoting Black Swan. Benjamin backed her up in the LAT interview, saying that "85%" of what you see on film is actually Natalie. So, of course, Sarah Lane had to give yet another interview, and this time she's really bringing it: The ballerina who served as a dancing double for Natalie Portman's Oscar-winnning role in Black Swan tells EW she has been the victim of a "cover-up" to mislead the public about how much dancing Portman actually did in the film. "Of the full body shots, I would say 5 percent are Natalie," says Sarah Lane, 27, an American Ballet Theatre soloist who performed many of the film's complicated dance sequences, allowing Portman's face to be digitally grafted onto her body. "All the other shots are me." Lane's claim follows a March 23 L.A. Times article in which Portman's fiancé and Black Swan choreographer Benjamin Millepied said Lane's work in the film was far less significant. "There are articles now talking about her dance double [American Ballet Theatre dancer Sarah Lane] that are making it sound like [Lane] did a lot of the work, but really, she just did the footwork, and the fouettés, and one diagonal [phrase] in the studio," he said. "Honestly, 85 percent of that movie is Natalie." Lane disagrees. "The shots that are just her face with arms, those shots are definitely Natalie," she says. "But that doesn't show the actual dancing." Lane admits that she was never promised a particular title for her six weeks of work on the film, though she was disappointed to see that she is credited only as "Hand Model," "Stunt Double," and "Lady in the Lane" (a brief walk-on role). Lane also says that Black Swan producer Ari Handel specifically told her not to talk about her work to the press, even though she claims there was no such stipulation in her contract. "They wanted to create this idea in people's minds that Natalie was some kind of prodigy or so gifted in dance and really worked so hard to make herself a ballerina in a year and a half for the movie, basically because of the Oscar," says Lane. "It is demeaning to the profession and not just to me. I've been doing this for 22 years…. Can you become a concert pianist in a year and a half, even if you're a movie star?" Reps for Portman, Fox Searchlight, and Handel have yet to provide comments on the matter. Lane is barely seen in promotional materials for the movie, including a VFX reel posted by studio Fox Searchlight that appears to show all the digital alterations made to key dance sequences. An unverified version of that reel, leaked to YouTube, seems to shows how digital face replacement was used to put Portman's head on Lane's body. (The clip was included in a blog post by Dance Magazine's Wendy Perron, who wrote about Lane's story earlier this month.) According to Lane, Portman's dramatic transformation into a ballerina — a narrative firmly at the center of her successful Oscar campaign — wasn't as impressive as the public was led to believe. "I mean, from a professional dancer's standpoint, she doesn't look like a professional ballet dancer at all and she can't dance in pointe shoes. And she can't move her body; she's very stiff," says Lane. "I do give her a lot of credit because in a year and a half she lost a lot of weight and she really tried to go method and get into a dancers head and really feel like a ballet dancer." In interviews, Portman didn't hide the fact that she had used a body double for key sequences in the film, though Lane's name, and the extent of her work, were played down. "I do have a double for the complicated turning stuff," Portman told EW last November. "It was not anything I ever could have done in a year, nothing I could've caught up with. But I think it was just better for all of us if I did as much as possible." Lane insists she isn't speaking out of jealousy over Portman's acclaim. "[Natalie] is an amazing actress, for sure," she says. "I know that it's not a personal thing against me. I know that it's just a political thing. It's just unfortunate that I kind of lost credit." [From Entertainment Weekly] While it does sound like Lane has a larger axe to grind than lost credit, I completely agree with many of her points, especially "They wanted to create this idea in people's minds that Natalie was some kind of prodigy or so gifted in dance and really worked so hard to make herself a ballerina in a year and a half for the movie, basically because of the Oscar…It is demeaning to the profession and not just to me. I've been doing this for 22 years…. Can you become a concert pianist in a year and a half, even if you're a movie star?" I'd like to see Portman refute that. I really would. And seriously, what would it hurt for Darren Aronofsky to come out and seriously discuss how much Lane was utilized in the final film, and what Natalie's year of preparation really got her as far as quality? She's got the Oscar already – they can't take it back. If these accusations just sit around, hanging in the air, Natalie's Oscar win does seem tainted, and like the campaign was waged on false pretenses. Just to play devil's advocate and actually go pro-Portman (I know, shocking!), as I said, it does sound like Lane has an axe to grind. Perhaps it's about money, perhaps about the film production wasting her time, perhaps it's about her genuinely feeling insulted by being ignored. Or maybe Natalie really did do a lot of her own dancing, and Lane is just a famewhore trying to get attention. But if that was the case, why didn't she speak up during the Oscar campaign, when it actually would have gotten so much attention? So who do you believe – the self-proclaimed wronged ballerina, or Smugface Conceiving The Conception Portman and her Ballet Famewhore K-Fed? UPDATE: The studio released a statement about Lane's comments. The official response: "We were fortunate to have Sarah there to cover the more complicated dance sequences and we have nothing but praise for the hard work she did. However, Natalie herself did most of the dancing featured in the final film." MOST is not technical enough. I want a percentage! celebitchy/Photos courtesy of WENN.

Reese Witherspoon married Jim Toth on her ranch in Ojai on Saturday Posted: 28 Mar 2011 05:05 AM PDT Well, we knew it was happening this weekend, but what's surprising is how many really specific details were leaked. Reese Witherspoon wed her CAA-agent fiancé Jim Toth yesterday in California, on her Ojai ranch. The wedding date "somehow" got leaked a few weeks ago, and now both Us Weekly and People Magazine have, like, intimate details of everything. Here's Us Weekly's take: Hello there, Mr. and Mrs. Toth! Reese Witherspoon married Jim Toth early Saturday evening at her 6-acre ranch in Ojai, Calif., UsMagazine.com has confirmed. Wearing a custom-designed Monique Lhuillier gown, the actress, 35, exchanged vows with CAA agent Toth, 40, in front of 120 family members and friends (including Renee Zellweger, and Alyssa Milano, and Tobey Maguire) in the front courtyard of the Ojai house. Witherspoon's best friend, Heather Rosenfield, served as matron of honor, and her kids with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe — daughter Ava, 11, and son Deacon, 7 — took part in the ceremony. The Oscar winner's young nieces served as flower girls. The "Tennessee Waltz" was the processional music for Toth and the kids, while Witherspoon walked down the aisle to "Here Comes the Bride." The 20-minute ceremony was officiated by Reverend Jimmy Bartz, founder of Thad's church in Santa Monica, where the couple have been attending weekly Sunday services. The duo exchanged wedding bands designed by jeweler William Goldberg. Located 90 miles north of Los Angeles, the Ojai ranch — where the star gardens and keeps horses, donkeys, pigs, goats and chickens — has been Witherspoon's rural escape for years. It's the second wedding for the actress, who divorced Phillippe, 36, back in 2007 after seven years of marriage. Shortly after ending a three-year relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal, she and never-married Toth began dating in January 2010. (Although A-list firm CAA also counts Witherspoon as a client, Toth has never represented her.) The star's rep confirmed their engagement to Us on Dec. 28, 2010. "They are extremely happy," the rep said. About a week later, Witherspoon debuted her engagement bling — a 4-carat, $250,000 Ashocka cut diamond ring from William Goldberg — at a Laker's Game. Sources close to the newlyweds tell Us they're the perfect match. Says one pal of Toth, who's bonded with her kids: "He's a very confident guy who takes care of her." "[Reese] really wants to be married and have that security with someone," another insider says. "They feel like they've hit the jackpot in this relationship!"   [From Us Weekly] People Magazine claims they've got the exclusive, and yet they seem to have less details (go here for People's coverage). Which I think means that Reese and Jim are trying to get the covers of both mags next week, right? Probably. Anyway, it sounds like a really nice, respectable, quiet wedding service and I think and hope that Reese and Jim make each other happy in the long run. They truly seem like they "fit" and Reese seems happier with Toth than she's been in a while. Congrats to the couple! I say she's knocked up within a year. She won't get pregnant right away, in my opinion, but it will happen by the end of this year, I think. Photos courtesy of WENN & Fame.

Vanessa Hudgens Celebrates Release Of ‘Sucker Punch’ In Vegas Posted: 28 Mar 2011 04:59 AM PDT Vanessa Hudgens' new movie, 'Sucker Punch,' was released this weekend, and the newly-single actress chose to celebrate in Las Vegas at Pure Nightclub. 'Sucker Punch' and 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2? have been battling it out at the box office this weekend, but it looks like 'Wimpy' will edge out 'Sucker Punch' for #1. It's hard to beat the kid and family-friendly films! How do you like Vanessa's clubbing outfit? She strikes me as one of the celebs who likes to have fun with fashion: this is some brave (and effective) mixing of prints! imnotobsessed/Photos by WENN.com

Katy Perry Squashes Lady Gaga Rivalry Rumors Posted: 28 Mar 2011 04:44 AM PDT Enough’s enough: Katy Perry is putting a stop to any and all rumors that there’s some bitter rivalry between her and Lady Gaga, and their fans. How’s she going about that? Twitter, of course! The pop starlet tweeted over the weekend so all her 6.4 million followers could read: “Dear @MTV stop plotting mons†ers against ki††ens AKA katycats! We’re all EQUAL/ONE! Don’t get caught in the irresponsible journalism club!” We’re guessing the “plotting” Katy tweeted about refers to the fact that she covered Gaga’s “Born This Way” at a recent concert (so maybe fans had to choose?), and her song “E.T.” is closing in on Gaga’s top spot on the Hot 100 charts. In any case, these gals seem to be getting along great in real life. Gaga even gave Katy a present, so you know there’s really no beef. Katy tweeted to her pal:  “Oh eem gee… Thank you so for my a-may-zing, highlarious, thoughtful prezzy @ladygaga It will be put to good use! X” Even more important than alleged katycat and monster fights: is these big stars are both coming together for a great cause: disaster relief in Japan. Both gals contributed songs to the benefit album, Songs for Japan. All of the royalties and proceeds from Gaga’s “Born This Way” and Perry’s “Firework” will go to relief efforts. Zimbio

Justin Bieber Pranks Willow Smith Posted: 28 Mar 2011 04:42 AM PDT The Bieb pulled a fast one on his friend (and opening act) during a concert last week. Check out the video of the prank inside! (Photo By Photo Agency) Justin Bieber: YouTube sensation, pop star, heart breaker… prankster! We all know the 16-year-old is wildly talented, but we recently discovered he’s quite the joker when he pulled a fast one on his friend (and opening act) Willow Smith. So, just how did he manage to punk her? Well, he had a couple of crewn members throw on some bright hair extensions, then sent them out to act as backup dancers while Willow performed her hit “Whip My Hair” (as part of the opening act for the Bieb’s Manchester concert last week). It took a few seconds for Willow to realize these hoodlums weren’t really her dancers, and when she did she paused, looked surprised, then carried on like a champ. Then, she had to take a second AGAIN when Justin came out dancing like a wild man and clanking a cow bell as he whipped his hair back and forth. Awesome! Willow and her bro Jaden aren’t accompanying the Bieb for the rest of his European tour (they arrived back in LA this weekend), but that just means Willow has lots of time to think about how she’s going to get him back! See the video of the prank here:

Kate Hudson: ‘I Have the Most Unconventional Family Ever’ Posted: 28 Mar 2011 04:40 AM PDT The pregnant actress said about her blended family (and friendship with her ex and his new fam): “You can’t go wrong if you’re honest and your intention is to be happy.” (Photo By Photo Agency) Kate Hudson loves her “unconventional” family. She has a son with ex-husband Chris Robinson, and is expecting a child with her current boyfriend Matt Bellamy, and couldn’t be happier. Just the other day she hung out with Robinson, his new wife and child, along with their son Ryder and everyone was all smiles! Kate had her own complicated upbringing with mom Goldie Hawn and stepdad Kurt Russell, so she knows a thing or two about blended families. She said: “The most important thing for Ryder’s life is love, happiness and honesty. I have the most unconventional family ever. My mom Goldie Hawn was married twice, and then she met my dad (Kurt) who was married before. I’ve got a brother and half-brothers and sisters, and we all have the most wonderful relationships. My mom and dad are around a lot – we all live within seven blocks of each other. You can’t go wrong if you’re honest and your intention is to be happy.” Zimbio Incoming search terms: matt bellamy kate hudson

Mariah Carey Home from Hospital After Contractions Posted: 28 Mar 2011 04:37 AM PDT Singer Mariah Carey arrives at the 25th Film Independent’s Spirit Awards held at Nokia Event Deck at L.A. Live on March 5, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. (Getty Images) Mariah Carey almost had birthday babies! The singer rushed to the hospital last night because she started having contractions, but it turns out her twins weren’t quite ready to make their debut. She tweeted in the flurry of rushing to the ER: “really wanted 2 celebrate w/us/share the anniversary! I started having contractions last night..went 2 the hospital.” Ms. Carey later wrote: “They almost came on 3/27- happy anniversary in deed!!! We have a few more weeks 2 go but- wow!!!: ) #soreadyallready!” (We’d like to note that Mariah’s birthday is March 27, not her anniversary, but, hey, whatever!) Her hubby Nick Cannon is gearing up for the birth of the babies, and is a little nervous about the big day. He tweeted last week: “I am probably going to faint in the delivery room! I need to man up! Or maybe I should say WOMAN UP since they are the ones that have to be the strongest in the whole ordeal! I am in awe of my wife!” Zimbio

Serena Williams Develops Nail Polish Collection for OPI Posted: 28 Mar 2011 04:35 AM PDT Serena’s nail shades will hit stores just in time for May’s French Open. (Photo By Getty Images) Should Serena Williams ever tire of battling it out on the tennis courts, she can always fall back on her cosmetology skills. The style-savvy athlete and talented manicurist has just announced a collaboration with OPI on a special array of nail polish shades: The Glam Slam! France collection. PeopleStyleWatch reports the shades will be released in conjunction with May’s French Open, with polishes packaged together to be used in two-textured nail patterns. Williams stated, “Whether I’m on or off the court, style is important. In addition to watching the runways for the latest trends, I think it’s important to add my own unique elements.” Think she’ll do half as well with her collection as Justin Bieber did? Zimbio

Selena Gomez Goes All Out for Perez Hilton’s Blue Birthday Bash Posted: 28 Mar 2011 04:32 AM PDT Perez Hilton’s Blue Ball Birthday Celebration.Siren Studios, Hollywood, CA.March 26, 2011. (Bauer Griffin) Selena Gomez, is that you?! The tween star was hardly recognizable in her awesome blue ensemble — complete with gobs of blue makeup, a  short wig, and stunning dress — at Perez Hilton’s Blue Ball Birthday Celebration last night in Hollywood. Selena totally stole the show in her futuristic flapper outfit and posed with Perez, who was wearing a giant red wig and his own impressive disco denim ‘fit. The rest of the famous guests, which included Raven-Symone, Eliza Dushku, Jenna Jameson, Aubrey O’Day, as well as Real Housewives Taylor Armstrong, Camille Grammer, and Kyle Richards, all wore blue, but none did so as well as this starlet! Selena, who attended the party without her beau Justin Bieber, tweeted about the event: “Happy Birthday @PerezHilton what a great party.” It’s strange to see Selena wear something so out of her comfort zone, but we like it! Do you? Zimbio

Paris Hilton Is Belle of the Ball at Elementary School Dance Posted: 28 Mar 2011 04:31 AM PDT Paris Hilton probably isn’t the talk of too many elementary schools, but she certainly was this weekend when she showed up at a dance at Selma Bartlett Elementary in Nevada Friday night! Just why was the heiress at an elementary school sock-hop? Well, she was there with her beau Cy Waits to see his daughter. Paris was apparently a real charmer at the event, and posed for pics with all the little boys and girls who requested a photo op. Aw! Paris tweeted from the event: ” At this Elementary School dance, it’s 50′s themed. Love all the poodle skirts, so cute! I love spending time with kids, they are so sweet.” There’s been plenty of talk of the reality finally settling down with her love, and maybe these maternal activities are signs of what’s to come!

Sweet dreams falsehood ahead for Jessica Alba as she heads home with an exceptional ‘cuddle’ cushion Posted: 27 Mar 2011 11:35 PM PDT Sweet dreams falsehood ahead for Jessica Alba as she heads home with an exceptional ‘cuddle’ cushion: We now know who Jessica Alba cuddles up to at night, and it would seem it is no longer her husband, Cash Warren. There will be no more sleepless nights for the Fantastic Four star after she treated both herself and her ever-increasing baby bump to a novel pregnancy pillow. Dressed in a cute black dress and quirky green and black stripped platform heels, Jessica looked very content as she left a Beverly Hills department store brandishing a novel sleeping aid called the Bobby Cuddle Pillow. But we suspect Jessica's husband Cash may well have been less than content when his beautiful wife showed him the new addition to their bedroom. It is likely that the 29-year-old actress will be struggling to get a good night’s rest at the moment as she is expecting her second child with 31-year old Cash. But as excited as her hubby must be about the arrival of their child, it is unlikely he is as thrilled about the arrival of his wife's new bedroom accessory. The uniquely-shaped, $30 pillow is specially made for expectant mothers who are struggling to get comfy in bed and will be an excellent form of support for Jessica over the coming weeks and months.

Emma Watson & Kristen Stewart one on one Posted: 27 Mar 2011 11:29 PM PDT Emma Watson & Kristen Stewart one on one: Now there have been random tabloid rumours that there was a bit of a rift between Kristen Stewart and Emma, which of course centered around Mr Pattinson, but given time to mature these proved to be nothing more than idle title tattle with little to back it up. The girls do however occupy kind of the same space in the acting world, given they are both pretty, roughly the same age and have come through playing supernatural parts. In the modern media world, with Twitter allowing fan groups to become more and more organised it would seem that this is all it takes to stoke a bit of a scuffle between some parts of different fan bases.

Brenda Song celebrate her 23rd birthday Posted: 27 Mar 2011 11:26 PM PDT Brenda Song celebrate her 23rd birthday: Yestarday is the 23rd birthday of Disney star Brenda Song!
