Rumer Willis used to hate her name. The daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis said that when she was 12, she realized she “got screwed.”
“My sisters, Scout and Talullah, had cute nicknames.
When I was 12 and had crushes on guys, I’d put my first name with their last name, but it never sounded right.
Rumer Depp? Nope.
In school, kids would sing, ‘Rumer, Rumer with a big hairy tumor.’”
She also says she was shocked to be named one of People’s 100 Most Beautiful People this year:
“After being compared to Jay Leno for so long, you don’t think of yourself in that way.”
Rumer is happy to let gossips spread false rumors she is gay, because it gives her something to laugh about. The single actress insists she is most definitely not a lesbian, but isn’t threatened by the suggestions she prefers girls to boys.
“If people call me a lesbian because I have short hair and I wear jeans instead of dresses, then by all means run with it. I think it’s hilarious. I like guys.”
Poor potato head. A lesbian with Jay Leno’s chin — not a good combo.
If movies were completely scientifically accurate, they’d probably be as interesting as a Physics 101 lecture.
In real life, there are no explosions in space, gas usually doesn’t explode from a lit cigarette.
Some movies, though, put science front and center in the story and more often than not the science proves to be head-slappingly bad. Here are the top 10 offenders:
Armageddon
We could put together a long list of all the things wrong with Michael Bay’s feel-good ode to global destruction, but NASA has already and they counted at least 168 mistakes. But perhaps the biggest problem is that the plot itself — splitting a Texas-sized rock in two with a single nuke — has a Texas-sized hole in it. We don’t have a nuclear bomb anywhere near powerful enough to do the job. As strange as it might seem, this is a case of a Michael Bay movie not having a big enough explosion.
Independence Day
That mammoth mothership hovering over the earth in geostationary orbit would be doing more than just freaking out the world’s population. Because of its close proximity and mass — 1/4th that of the moon, according to the film — the flying saucer’s gravitational pull would cause massive tidal waves, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. The aliens wouldn’t even have to roll out their anti-matter ray to blow up the White House — it would already be underwater.
Starship Troopers
Could a band of cave-dwelling, preverbal giant insects really have the sophisticated mathematics and technology to hurl a rock millions of miles through space to crash into Earth? Plus, 70% of the planet’s surface is covered in water, so they only had a 3 out of 10 chance at even hitting solid ground, let alone a major city like Buenos Aires.
The Day After Tomorrow
Roland Emmerich brought his trademark academic rigor to the realm of climatology and the result proved to be so silly that NASA refused to help with the filming of the movie. For one thing, it would require most of Antarctica to melt in order to submerge New York City to the level it is in the movie. If all the rays of the sun were directed at the South Pole, its ice would melt in about two and half years. This ridiculousness drove Duke University paleoclimatologist William Hyde to publicly state, “This movie is to climate science as Frankenstein is to heart transplant surgery.”
The Core
In the movie, the Earth’s inner core — a nickel-iron mass about 1500 miles in diameter — stops rotating, causing the planet’s magnetic field to collapse and microwave radiation from space to blast through the atmosphere. But microwaves aren’t affected by magnetism, and the radiation that comes from space is too weak to damage anything here. What’s more, if the core did stop rotating for whatever reason, we’d have more to worry about than that. The energy stored in the core would have to go somewhere, and the effect on the planet would be equivalent to five trillion nuclear bombs going off at once.
The Matrix
Much in the way of physics in the Matrix — like dodging bullets and running up walls — gets a pass because it’s all within a massive virtual world. But in reality, our supposed robot overlords are a bit dim. Humans are a remarkably inefficient energy source. Instead of turning the human race into Duracells, the machines would probably get more energy just setting those goopy people pods on fire.
Jurassic Park
Having a wildlife park full of dinosaurs would be a really cool idea if it weren’t for a few problems. No, not imperfect security or the possibility of spontaneous lizard sex changes. The problem is that it would be almost impossible to clone the dinosaurs based on DNA pulled from the guts of a 25 million-year-old mosquito. The dinosaur DNA’s double helix most certainly would have been broken down into individual chunks, mixing together with whatever else the mosquitoes might have eaten along with some of the insect’s own genetic material. Any creature constructed from that mess might be the stuff of nightmares, but probably wouldn’t look like a T. Rex.
Total Recall
The red planet’s gravitational pull is roughly 1/3rd that of the Earth’s. So if, for example, an Austrian bodybuilder were to visit Mars, he would be bounding across the room like Michael Jordan. Another problem: when exposed to the thin atmosphere of Mars, like bad guy Cohaagen at the end of the movie, you would likely suffer from a raging case of the bends and you would asphyxiate — both of which are plenty lethal — but your head wouldn’t bulge out and explode like an overused stress toy.
Outbreak
A monkey threatens a small town with a virus that kills everybody in less time than your average DMV visit, and only Dustin Hoffman can stop it. The trouble with a disease that virulent is it kills the host too fast to spread. Otherwise, we would be dead from the Ebola virus. Also, it generally takes longer to make a cure from monkey serum than it does to make a latte. Dustin Hoffman does look great in a hazmat suit, though.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Indiana Jones has survived a lot of improbable adventures, be it fleeing ancient spherical boulders or fighting off cult members while dangling off a rope bridge. But few scrapes have tested the bounds of believability more than Indy’s escape from a nuclear bomb blast thanks to a lead-lined fridge. The problem is that, even if he didn’t get flattened, horribly burned or suffocated (kids, don’t hide in refrigerators), Indy almost certainly would have gotten a lethal dose of radiation from the fallout. And that’s a lot scarier than snakes.
Bruce Willis had indulged himself in some marijuana with rapper Rick Ross. During an interview on JAM’N 94.5 FM in Boston the rapper claimed he and Bruce would get high “all the time.” He went on to reveal that when stoned, Willis was very quite and enjoyed the “African thing.” Pot wasn’t his only recreational drug according to Bruce. The “Die Hard” star didn’t deny smoking pot when asked about the incident.
“Living in Manhattan was the most irresponsible, carefree time of my life. I had a great time going wild. I drank too much. I also smoked weed and tried various drugs.
I only liked pot, though. I smoked a lot of pot and when I wasn’t acting, I was out dancing every night. I had a blast and I could stretch $20 over three days - I would live off pizza and beer.”
I am not surprised. I am sure that is why Willis and Ashton are BFF’s. They probably get high and talk about their innermost feelings and then cry together over pudding pops.

Rumer Willis arrives at LA’s trendy Villa Lounge on Monday night, only to be kicked out minutes later when the manager realized she was only 19-years-old!
The minor child of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore walked back to her car whilst trying to cover her face. The walk of shame is never pretty.
Mitchell Simmons has written a new book on sexual facts called ‘Where Do Nudist Keep Their Hankies?’, and he’s got some interesting celebrity information in there. For instance, he says Sean Connery lost his virginity 8 years old. What?!? I’m calling BS, but here’s the quote:
In his new book on sexual facts, “Where Do Nudists Keep Their Hankies?” just out from HarperEntertainment, Mitchell Simons reveals that Clint Eastwood, David Duchovny, Bruce Willis and Jerry Hall gave up their innocence at 14. Topping them are: Johnny Depp, James Caan and Jon Bon Jovi, who were just 13. Don Johnson was a mere 12. And Sean Connery confessed, “I was 8, but I can’t recall with whom.”
I know you’re a stud, Sean, but come on. No one’s buying that. And if it is true, maybe you should see a therapist or something.

Rumer Willis, daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, has been named Miss Golden Globe by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for the 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards.
Miss Golden Globe is traditionally the daughter of a well-known celebrity. Among previous holders of the title are Lorraine Nicholson, Laura Dern and Melanie Griffith.
The 19-year-old Willis, who thinks she’s really, really famous. Hey, the only reason she’s famous at all, is because of the relentless heckling. See, there’s a lot of people out there that find a striking resemblance between her chin and Jay Leno’s. I know… completely rude!
I would think that Bruce Willis might be one of the most famous faces in Hollywood. Not only is he the king of the “Die Hard” flicks, but he was married to Demi Moore. Apparently that is not enought to get in to the club Socialista in New York. Bruce and his 8 friends arrived at Socialista at 3 a.m. on Wednesday morning, but the men at the door wouldn’t let them in.
“Bruce’s entourage started banging on the door, to no avail,” the Page Six spy said. “I guess they had reached their massive-ego quota.”
Socialista owner Armin Amiri was embarrassed by the incident: “I had just left and told the guys they could shut down for the night. I love [Bruce].”
I can understand maybe not recognizing Hollywood stars if you’re not really into movies and you don’t watch television. But if it’s your job to decide who gets into the posh club, at least maybe keep a photo album behind the hostess’ station to determine whether a huge star is trying to get in. It’s Bruce Willis.

Demi Moore has spent $500,000 on plastic surgery to make herself look younger, but it’s not helping her career any. So now Demi is speaking out against ageism in Hollywood. I don’t hear the other 40-something actresses complaining, but then again, they haven’t spent the cash Demi has.
The Daily Mail quotes Demi:
“It’s been a challenging few years, being the age I am. Almost to the point where I felt like, well, they don’t know what to do with me. I am not 20. Not 30.
“There aren’t that many good roles for women over 40. A lot of them don’t have much substance, other than being someone’s mother or wife.
“If we are told we are not valuable once we hit 30, it is a problem,” she said. “We all have more to give.
“We can’t just wait for something to happen. We have to say, ‘I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more’.”
The surgery worked out OK for 2003’s “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle”
Since then, though, she has only had two films: “Bobby” and “Half Light”. Ex-husband Bruce Willis, on the other hand, has appeared in 13.
Sucks to be a hot 40-year-old, huh?
What others are saying:
The Superficial says, “You know what would be a great role for Demi Moore? Playing someone’s grandmother. Ashton Kutcher’s perhaps. She’d bring some real authenticity to the role.”
dlisted says, “They seem to think that Demi shouldn’t be bitching about getting roles when she’s trying to look young. Um, maybe it’s because bitch can’t act worth a shit!”
Mollygood says, “Sayeth the 44-year-old prime cut, ‘It’s been a challenging few years, being the age I am. Almost to the point where I felt like, well, they don’t know what to do with me. I am not 20. Not 30.’ Respondeth not one, not two, but four Daily Mail commenters, ’should have spent her money on acting lessons.’”

Demi Moore, who is dating the 15-year younger Ashton Kutcher, has nothing on Bruce Willis when it comes to rocking the cradle of love.
Willis is currently vacationing on a yacht with actress Tamara Feldman in Sardinia’s Porto Cervo - despite his recent claims to be better suited to the bachelor lifestyle. The 52-year-old ‘Die Hard’ actor met Feldman, who is thought to be in her twenties, on the set of the thriller ‘Perfect Stranger’ last year and have been dating ever since.
Here is the happy couple at the premier of ‘Perfect Stranger’ wearing a few more clothes.
I think you gotta give the guy some credit. The girl is beautiful - even if Tamara does look like his prom date.
Update: The woman is actually former playmate Karen McDougal.
