Well, it looks like another celeb has come out of the woodwork to make all of us believe that there is indeed a Suri Cruise. Oh, and “She’s one of the sweetest babies I’ve ever met in my life,” “She’s an absolute beauty and she’s Daddy’s little girl.” so says Jada Pinkett Smith. Who knew these random celebs such as Wil Smith, Jada Pinkett and Leia Remini were so chummy with Tom? I suppose the Travolta will next. *sigh* we’ll never get to see her….
“She’s beautiful and they’re very happy and they need to be left alone,” says Pinkett Smith, who described Suri while talking to PEOPLE about her participation in last weekend’s Philadelphia anti-violence event, Party 4 Peace, run by pal Charles “Charlie Mack” Alston. “She’s the cutest little baby. She’s got a head full of black, beautiful hair.”
And how are Mom and Dad doing? Cruise is “excellent” and Holmes is “a great mom and she’s loving every single second of it.”
Why couldn’t she have said something sooner? Now, not only is my house decorated, but I’m married. I would have let her do anything she wanted with my house a few years ago, though. . . .
Pamela Anderson is finally going to marry Bob “Kid Rock” Ritchie. At least four times, in fact.
Pamela Anderson confirmed Wednesday she’s ready to tie the knot with Kid Rock in France. And California. And Michigan. And Tennessee. “I’m going to get married a few times this month to the same guy,” said the 39-year-old actress, who wore a white veil pulled-back from her face during a news conference about her new online poker site, PamelaPoker.com. She said her nuptials to the rocker, whose real name is Bob Ritchie, will take place near St. Tropez, France. They are reportedly planned for Saturday.
To each his own, I guess.
Anderson then proceded to show the intellect that made her famous:
“If Bob knew he was getting married five years ago in St. Tropez, he wouldn’t have believed it,” Anderson said.
And he’d have been right.
Asked how she’s coping with her nerves before the big event, she replied: “I have two words for you: champagne.”
Lance Bass has reveled he is gay, People has confirmed.
Not that big of a surprise. But still, it’s quite a shocker. But, I knew it was coming. He sparked much controversy earlier this week when he was spotted with “Amazing Race” reality TV star Reichen Lehmkuhl at soem gay bars in Provincetown, Mass. Good for him and I’m glad he hopefully is happy. At I’m also glad is he dating a semi-celebrity too. (Ha! Just joking on that one…or am I?)
Those out there waiting for Elisha Cuthbert to pose nude for Playboy can put those dreams on hold for now. Or, at least wait until her career goes into the toilet.
Sexy movie star ELISHA CUTHBERT has laughed off reports she’s being courted to pose nude in Playboy, insisting she is too modest to bare all. The actress states she’ll only strip on camera if it’s absolutely necessary, admitting she currently calls for a body double whenever nudity is needed. Cuthbert, who played a reluctant porn star in THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, urges men’s magazine editors to hold on to their cash - because she’ll never strip for them. The Canadian says, “I wouldn’t cancel out a nude scene but, right now, with my life and my career, I don’t feel the need to do that. I don’t feel it’s necessary. “I’ve been doing fine finding roles that don’t need to have full-frontal nudity in them. There have been points where we’ve had to use body doubles, and, obviously, as I get older, the roles get more mature. “I never shy away from saying, ‘OK guys, we can do this; let’s just use a double.’ I feel I give a lot to the public and there’s a few things in my life right now that I’d like to keep to myself - my breasts being one of them.”
The Hollywood Tuna speaks for many, I’m sure, in stating,
As a fan, this is very disappointing news. I don’t want to believe that Elisha Cuthbert would turn down the opportunity to pose naked in Playboy. Playboy was made for Elisha. I mean, look at her. The girl oozes sex. Every time I see her I can’t help but undress her with my eyes. I hate to say this but I hope her movie career bombs. Then maybe she’ll have a change of heart.
One can certainly dream. He provides several more photos of Cuthbert, alas, fully clothed, at the link.
J. Michael Straczynski has announced that he’s bringing back “Babylon 5,” according to a report from ComicCon.
During last weekend’s San Diego Comic Con…at a panel that (evidently) didn’t enjoy the “in your face” notoriety of, say, TRANSFORMERS or SPIDERMAN 3… producer/writer/director J. Michael Straczynski (JMS, or “Joe”) made an announcement regarding the future of this little concept he has called BABYLON 5. The thrust of the news is this: straight-to-video BABYLON 5 adventures…involving B5 characters in an anthology format…should arrive late next year. Written and directed by JMS.
B5 is one of my favorite series of all time, although most of the sequels and prequels have been pretty bad. And, as several Digg commenters have noted, the death of key actors, including Andreas Katsulas (Ambassador/Citizen G’Kar), Richard Biggs (Dr. Stephen Franklin), and Tim Choate (Zathras) might hinder the show.
Lindsay Lohan got down to her birthday suit in a photo shoot at Jeremy Piven’s bikini party. No, that’s not quite right. Well, you know what I mean. Here are some sample photos, in case you don’t:
Much has been made of Keira Knightley’s slender frame and relatively flat chest. Indeed, Keira herself has spoken openly of not having breasts, but ‘pecs’, and said that she would die for a curvy body like Scarlett Johansson’s.
But in an extraordinarily revealing interview, the actress has told of how American audiences view her rather differently. The 21-year-old star of the Pirates of the Caribbean films has spoken of her bemusement at being surgically enhanced by computer trickery in promotional material publicising her films in the US. She says studio executives and magazine publishers have decided that instead of presenting her as she really is, she should be seen as a lot bustier in case her flat chest ‘turned people off’.
The actress says her breasts were digitally boosted for the advertising campaign for her 2004 movie King Arthur. She also claims magazine publishers in the US ban stars from appearing on their front covers unless they have at least a C-cup size, or are willing to be digitally enhanced to make it appear as if they have.
Keira, who played Guinevere in King Arthur, said her normal breasts were blown out of all proportion and looked droopy on the advert to promote the film. ‘Those things certainly weren’t mine,’ she told a US magazine yesterday. ‘I remember we had an interesting discussion when they said, “We want to make them slightly larger and you’ll get approval” and I was like, “OK, fine. ‘I honestly don’t give a s***.” ‘But then they showed me the first copy and these things must have been double-Es - and they were down to my knees. ‘And I was like, “I don’t mind you making them bigger, but don’t give me droopy breasts. They look like your grandmother’s t***’, the actress said.
She then went on to say the incident was certainly not the first time she has had her chest digitally enhanced. She explained: ‘I did one magazine and found out you’re not actually allowed to be on a cover in the US without at least a C cup because it turns people off. ‘Apparently they have done market research and found that women want to see no less than a C cup on other women. Isn’t that crazy? ‘So they made my t*** bigger for that as well.’
Miss Knightley’s comments will be seen as refreshingly honest in an industry fettered by publicists and agents watching every word. the actress has an agent, but unusually, no publicist.
The Hill newspaper has put the list together which consists almost exclusively of Capitol Hill staffers you’ve never heard of. It does include, however, a couple of more well-known people such as, er, Majority Leader John Boehner and the more fitting choice of FOX News’ Megyn Kendall.
UPDATE (James Joyner): Not having my years of experience blogging, Greg apparently does not understand the First Rule of Blogging about hotties: Pictures, pictures, pictures. In the interest of brevity, I have skipped over the male honorees.
The next Star Trek movie is under development, reports Robert Hyde from ComicCon.
As more and more revelations come out of this years Comic-Con here’s some news that we all wanted to know was true as the rumours have been flying around for ages, Star Trek XI will be with us in 2008 and here’s the poster to prove it.
JJ Abrams who has had a hit this year with the Tom Cruise vehicle Mission:Impossible III is on board as producer and writer, although it’s not been revealed yet if he will direct or allow someone else that honour. Recent internet rumblings have suggested that he will write a story that goes back to Kirk and Spocks academy days, but these have been denied in the past.
Whatever happens is good to see that Paramount have handed the series over to some capable hands, and that they are not going to rush release a film to the market next year, a 2008 release date means that a lot of thought can go into the production and hopefully bring the flagging series back to a place where it sat in the 80’s and 90’s.
ABC reportedly has huge hopes for a new series to air this fall called “Brothers & Sisters,” which will follow the hit “Desperate Housewives” on the schedule. Calista Flockhart, best known as Ally McBeal, plays a conservative radio host turned TV pundit. Others in the high-powered cast include Patricia Wettig, Rachel Griffiths, Ron Rifkin and Sally Field. Flockhart recently explained, “I really want to go back to work. It just seemed like the perfect time and the perfect project.”
Asked to describe the pundit, producer Ken Olin (formerly a star of “Thirty Something’) said, “She’s not Ann Coulter. She’s not insane.”
Heh. That actually answers my question, in that there’s a not insignificant similarity in their appearance.
Quentin Tarantino says two more “Kill Bill” films are in the planning stages. Unlike the first two, however, they’ll be cartoons:
Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriquez are still on stage here at the San Diego Comic Con promoting ‘Grind House’ but we just scored a bit of news you ‘Kill Bill’ fans are gonna freak over. Tarantino spilled the beans that once he finishes ‘Death Proof’ he will beging working on two more ‘Kill Bill’ films! Both films will be animated - the first being a prequel telling the story of Bill, while the second will be a new Bride story (maybe the future plot that was rumoured?).
Interesting. Not sure why they’d go with animation, though; it would seem to take most of the rationale for more movies away, since people have grown attached to the live action versions.
Nerds and geeks alike got a taste of Hollywood earlier this week when not one, but two hotties from the set of “Spiderman 3″ paid them a visit at the 2006 Comic Con in San Diego. Redhead hottie Mary Jane Watson herself (played by a blonde Kirsten Dunst) and blondie Gwen Stacy (played by a redhead Bryce Dallas Howard) both attended, giving dorks who have never been laid a double dose of wet dream ammunition.
Several more photos at the link. I should note that the photo above is as close to hot nude lesbian action you’re going to get.
