Brad Pitt and George Clooney Banter with the Press

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Two former winners of the ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ title are seen here disembarking a boat to attend the premiere of their latest work together ‘Burn After Reading’. And for anyone that has seen the Ocean’s 11 series, you know that the comraderie and chemistry between these two is fun to watch, which is probably a major factor in the success of the Ocean’s flicks. Given this, their latest work ‘Burn After Reading’ should be quite the entertaining piece. The charming duo were interviewed shortly after one of their premieres to this movie, and they took the moment to play with the media and bantering back and forth in that oh so appealing Clooney and Pitt style that we have come to love. The boys were asked questions about their personal lives, and instead of getting heated by the grilling, they made fun of it. When asked if he would ever ‘settle down’ George Clooney quipped as hearts broke all over America, ‘gosh, I have NEVER been asked that question. Actually… I am getting married and having a child today’. And of course Pitt chimed in deadpan saying that well, he has 6 kids now, and probably a couple more by this time next year, why not take some of his on?? Before the conference was over, Pitt was met by a Spanish journalist who thought it *not crazy* to wear a pair of gym shorts similar to the ones Pitt wore in the movie for his role as a gym trainer. She even went so far as to ask him if he would help her work out. He gently reminded her it was just a movie, that was just a role, that he in fact WASN’T a real gym trainer but she asked him anyway if he could help her train for running by asking if he would run after her. Clooney took that open door and ‘ran’ with it saying Brad would be more likely to run AWAY from her. The rest of the conference went just as similarly with the two running interference with each other to play with the paps. When Brad was asked about the twins Clooney retorted ‘they’re fine’ and when Brad was asked if he had the choice between winning an Oscar or falling in love with an Italian woman, Clooney cut him off lawyer style saying ‘You don’t have to answer that, Brad.’

Samantha Ronson To Write a Tell-All

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Anthony Monterotti, PacificCoast

You know how it is in Hollywood, when you don’t have the talent or network to start your own fashion or fragrance line, besides accidentally leaking a sex tape, the only thing you can do to get attention is to write a tell-all book. Just ask Lynn Spears. And such is the case of Samantha Ronson. I mean, look at her, who is going to buy clothing from a fashion line under her name? Riiiigggghhht. So now she’s hot on the publicity trail to write a tell-all book chronicling her relationship with Lindsay Lohan. I have to wonder, is this to just rile up the ‘future in-laws’, to get some attention, or does she seriously want to pour her heart out in print? Hmmm…..Since nobody can seem to come to a conclusion as to whether the relationship between her and Lindsay Lohan is actually real or a publicity stunt in itself, it’s hard to say here. Samantha has reportedly been dating Lindsay since as long ago as last year, and the two are also supposedly playing house together and are rarely seen apart, even when they are working. But E! Online seems to be under the impression from a friend of Samantha’s that Samantha is desperate to write a book about not only her story and her life, but about her life with Lindsay. Perhaps she thinks people will take the pair more seriously and stop calling them a publicity stunt. If this is the case, I think the book has the best intentions and I applaud her for it. But as you can probably imagine, Bible thumper Daddy Lohan is furious about the whole thing. He says he’s ‘shut up about this long enough’ and thinks that Samantha is just using his daughter for attention. He thinks nobody knew who Sam even was until Lilo came onto the scene, but um, while I am not a ‘fan’ so to speak of Sam’s, I beg to differ there, as would many of the folks who do claim to be fans. Michael Lohan hopes that Lindsay’s eyes will be opened to Sam’s ulterior motives and realize who is truly using her and who is truly real in Lindsay’s life. He has also even accused Sam of passing drinks under the table to Lindsay and compromising her sobriety. Perhaps Michael needs to remember that Lindsay is a grown woman responsible for her OWN sobriety. And as for him shutting up about this long enough, that’s laughable since he has been put on record SEVERAL times since this relationship went public spewing one response or another. Whether the book will materialize or not is anyone’s guess, but if it does, and with the right intentions, again, more power to her.

Madonna in Some Political Heat!

Madonna’s Sweet and Sticky Tour is barely underway, and she has already found herself in some political hot water. Well, that is what will happen when you compare a United States Presidential candidate to HITLER. Uh huh. It is no secret that Tinseltown is full of Obama Barrack supporters, and Madonna took her support a little too far recently. But you know Madonna, she doesn’t seem to be all that happy and satisfied with life unless she is pushing the envelope *just that much*. Madonna opened the first night of her tour on the 23rd in Wales and while performing her single ‘Get Stupid’ her big screen was flashing pictures of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe alongside Presidential candidate John McCain. And *just in case* one didn’t quite get Madonna’s point, she was then flashing scenes of OBama Barrack alongside icons of a more peace loving nature such as Mahatma Ghandi and John Lennon. Tucker Bounds, a spokesperson for the McCain trail was outraged and he says

The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time…. clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off limits….

What? Smearing in an American political campaign? NEVER. I am sure that the saintly John McCain would never stoop so low. I give her props actually, because clearly nothing illegal was done, and she did it brilliantly enough to toe the line just so ensuring her fans took whatever they wanted from it. But you know, this is now…what will her next stunt be? Can’t wait to find out!

Katherine Heigl Gets Slammed When Butting Out

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Adrian Varnedoe, Pacificcoastnews

Katherine Heigl is seen here leaving the Goa nightclub in Hollywood where her rocker hubby was performing. Katherine is one that generally leaves her personal habits such as smoking out of the spotlight, however she was snapped here having a puff on the way to her car. And Katherine has developed quite the reputation for being one that is not so afraid to speak her mind, and this quality was what got her in trouble, again, just recently when a Santa Monica police officer didn’t like the way she was ‘polluting the atmosphere’. Ever the one to defend herself, Katherine stood up for her rights to do what she wants and promptly tossed the cigarette butt at the officer’s feet. While her attitude wasn’t enough to get a citation, she did get a stern talking to. Oh my, I am sure she will never do THAT again. Lynn Rocchini, an activist for the environment on the other hand was quick to point and wag the judgemental finger at Katherine by producing a strongly written letter on what happens when you throw your butt into the streets. You know, they get into the drains, and eventually in the ocean, and then eaten by wildlife, and one by one the turtles, and fish, and birds all start to die. All because of Katherine’s cigarette butt. Lynn cited thousands of cases where dead wildlife were autopsied and found to have ingested cigarette butts. This is a first for me, I mean, that environmental hazards to WILDLIFE would be an argument used against smoking. And I am sure Katherine had an eloquently stated come back to the stand. I mean, when does the health and welfare of our wildlife come before the health and welfare of the general human public, the MOST appropriate stance on reasons not to smoke. The environmental issue? Warranted I am sure, but when it comes to smoking, not the LARGEST concern here.
