Gwyneth Paltrow Drinks Again

Gwennie! Bad Gwennie, Bad! Why?

According to the Daily News, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted drinking wine at Lupa, one of Mario Batali's restaurants, Wednesday night, one day after she was chugging Guinness at Cube 63 and having sushi. Her rep confirmed the beer but not the sushi. Wonder what the rep has to say this time?

From today's Daily News:

After yesterday's item that pregnant Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted downing Guinness with dinner on Tuesday, a reader tells me: "I sat next to her and Chris Martin at Lupa on Thompson Street [Wednesday] night; she had two or three glasses of wine in the time that I was there, and I left when they were partway through the main course."

While Guinness contains iron that can be good for a pregnancy, drinking wine when you're five months along is a tad more controversial.

Gwyneth and Chris were looking very much in love at a corner table in the back room of the popular SoHo restaurant, run by Mario Batali.

Continues the spy: "She looked gorgeous as usual, with the pregnant 'glow.' Her face did look large though, which, according to my superstitious Italian friend who was with me, means she is having a girl, since face changes during pregnancy mean a female child."

Rumors were true - Russell Simmons is leaving Kimora for a 23 year-old model

Rap mogul Russell Simmons and his wife Kimora Lee Simmons are splitting, a rep for Kimora confirmed.

An announcement is expected later today. A spokesperson for Russell had no comment.

Russell, 48, and Kimora, 30, married in 1998 and have two daughters: Ming Lee Simmons, 6, and Aoki Lee Simmons, 3.

Both girls model for Baby Phat Clothing, Kimora's offshoot of her husband's Phat Farm clothing line. The former Kimora Lee, whose father is African-American and mother is Japanese-American, was a model, for Chanel and others, when she began dating Simmons, a cofounder of Def Jam Records.

The pair met in November 1992 during New York City's Fashion Week. She was 17 and about to finish high school; he was 35 and a self-admitted ladies man. The couple were married by Simmons's brother, Pentecostal minister and rapper Joey "Reverend Run" Simmons of Run DMC, on the Caribbean island of St. Bart's on Dec. 20, 1998.

Wonder who will get to keep their mcmansion in Upper Saddle River, NJ?

Gywneth Paltrow is a bad mom-to-be

Gwennie was having sushi and beer with her hubby, Chris Martin, at Cube 63, a cute East Village sushi restaurant, according to the Daily News.

“People were looking and waving, and she just tried to melt further into the corner,” according to one witness, who said she ordered salad and what appeared to be sushi.

Diners in the 30-seat restaurant observed Martin exit the BYOB joint to pick up several bottles of the Irish stout Guinness at a nearby deli. And they were surprised when Paltrow, who is five months pregnant with the couple’s second child, drank one herself. […]

Some experts recommend a little Guinness for expecting mothers because of the brew’s high iron content. I don't care how much iron is in beer, it's still alcohol. She should know better.

Her rep confirmed she drank the alcoholic beverage, but said she ate only cooked food, not sushi. Yeah, right.

Julia Roberts on Broadway


Julia Roberts made her Broadway debut last night in "Three Days of Rain". She looks old and her hair looks kind of reddish but hey, she's still Julia.

Wonder where Danny, the husband she stole away while he was still married, is?

Brad Pitt back in Paris avec moustache


Here's a photo of Brad Pitt from yesterday, Tuesday, in Paris.

I don't really care for the long moustache but hey, he still looks good.

A cute baby who will grow up to be nice


Now, here's an adorable baby who will most likely grow up to be like her adorable mom, Jennifer Garner. Violet Affleck. So cute.

Apple Martin is cute; let's hope she doesn't grow up to be a bitch like her mom

Apple Martin.
Isn't she adorable?

She is until she starts talking and being a demanding, snobby bitch like her mom, Gwyneth Paltrow.

Teri Hatcher is really desperate if she's with Ryan Seacrest

US Weekly has exclusive pictures of the latest hot couple in Hollywood. Brace yourself. Teri, I've had Botox, Hatcher and Ryan, I'm not gay, Seacrest.

Teri Hatcher and American Idol host Ryan Seacrest engaged in an unholy union of lip-mashing on a Malibu beach on March 25, after a lunch of lobster and oysters at a nearby restaurant.

Hatcher sported an American Idol baseball cap, which she turned around backwards for their face-sucking session. Who says romance is dead?

“They were immersed,” says an eyewitness, who noticed Hatcher massaging Seacrest’s neck. “Every now and then, they’d embrace.”

“Teri frequently laughed loudly at Ryan’s jokes,” says an onlooker. “They were very animated with each other.”




I don't know what's worse, the sight of them kissing or the hideous outfit she's wearing. What was she thinking wearing that in public? I guess because she was out with Ryan, she didn't care.

Jennifer Aniston aka Maniston is so Fug

Okay, I wasn't going to post these pictures but they were too good (or bad) to pass up.

Perez Hilton (love him) posted these pix on his website yesterday.

Have you ever seen her look so bad? This explains why she never wears her hair up - she has the worst ears/face combo. Yuck.

She really has a bad face - good body - bad face. Blah.


Brad Sells His Bike for MLK Charity

Brad Pitt plans to auction his motorcycle for one of Morgan Freeman's charities.

Specifically, the proceeds will benefit Martin Luther King's memorial in Washington which is slated to go up in 2008.

Other celebrities hawking their bikes - Ben Affleck and Laurence Fishbourne.

Oh yes, J. Lo is selling one of her wedgies - wedge shoes that is. Yeah, that should garner a lot of money. Who wants her stinky shoes?

Gwyneth Paltrow is a mean mom



Gwyneth Paltrow-Martin wants to name her new baby-to-be, Mortimer if its a boy. Apple Martin (i) and Morty Martin - what awful names.

Why is she so cruel? She snagged one of the hottest rock stars in the world and this is how she shows her gratitude? By naming his kids weird names?

I hope the kids go to school in the U.S. and in particular, New York; they will definitely get teased and beaten up.

Brad and Angelina coming back to the U.S.


Are Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie headed back to LA or NY?

Who knows but they have left Paris after spending a few months there.

Angie is due to give birth in about a month (early May they say) so I guess she wants a US-born baby afterall.

They make a very happy, international-looking family.

Failure to Launch # 1 at the Box Office

"Failure to Launch" did in fact launch into first place at the movies this weekend.
The movie stars Matthew McConaughey as a 35 year-old man still living at home with his parents and Sarah Jessica Parker is hired to help seduce him out of the house.
This movie was really a rehash of "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" but with a twist. The twist - it's not as good. The best part of the movie was Zooey Deschanel and I'd even say Terry Bradshaw and Kathy Bates.

Weekend Box Office - 3/10 to 3/12

1. Failure to Launch - $24.6 million
2. The Shaggy Dog - $16 million
3. The Hills Have Eyes - $15.5 million
4. 16 Blocks - $7.3 million
5. Madea's Family Reunion - $5.8 million

Couples - Real or Fake?

Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker at the premiere of their new movie, "Failure to Launch".

He called her weird and peculiar when he was on Oprah; she pretended not to hear it.

Here they are smiling and pretending all is well.

Couple - Real or Fake? Fake!

But they could be a real couple given how much they dislike each other.















Joaquin Phoenix and Eva Mendes - real or fake couple?

This one's hard to tell.

Yes, they're filming a movie together and movie studios/publicists will do everything possible to generate publicity for the movie but she does tend to fall for her co-stars.

She admits she had a massive crush on Will Smith when filming "Hitch" and there were major rumors that she hooked up with Matt Damon when they did "Stuck on You".
Plus, he gets really into his roles and his co-stars. He dated Liv Tyler for three years in 1998 when they filmed a movie together. So, they could be a real couple even though pagesix reported that he already has at least three girlfriends - one on the east coast, one on the west coast and one that he rotates! Maybe she's his rotater, so to speak.

Regardless, after seeing "Walk the Line" recently, I agree - he's hot. Too bad he's such a bad boy. Sigh.




Lindsay Lohan and cigarettes. Real or Fake couple? Real!

And this is according to her mom.

Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina fears her teen queen daughter may die if she continues smoking, as she suffers from respiratory disorder asthma. The concerned matriarch begs A Prairie Home Companion actress Lohan to quit cigarettes, but the rebellious redhead refuses to listen, reports PageSix.com.

Dina says, "Lindsay's smoking. You think I like it? No. I cry to her. I told her, 'You have to stop smoking. You have asthma. You could die.' I can tell her, but I'm her mother. Did you listen to your mother at 19?" Lohan was hospitalized in Florida on January 2 after suffering a broken blood vessel during an asthma attack.






I was shocked when Chloe Dao won "Project Runway." I was certain Daniel Vosovic was going to win but after seeing their collections during Fashion Week, I thought Santino deserved to win because his collection was exquisite - the most beautiful dresses. But not Chloe - I don't think she should've won although I do think she's cute and talented.

I'm even more shocked to see her boyfriend,
Ken Pursley. Wow, he's cute in a Billy Zane kind of way. Lucky girl! She met him 11 days before she started the show. He waited for her and she waited for him. Awww, how cute is that?

Real couple!

More Oscar pictures - including some bad closeups - who has had work done?


Jennifer Aniston close up. I hate to say this but she looks good. Now, what has she had done? Her face looks calm and wrinkle-free. How is that possible? She's probably keeping up her Restalyne shots - she and Brad Pitt - used to get matching blonde hair colors and matching wrinkle-free faces with Restalyne injections (kind of like collagen) but with better results.













Salma Hayek


















Salma up close. Rumors still persist that she likes her martinis with a twist with her best gal pal and celebrity beard, Penelope Cruz.

She looks good. Again, no wrinkles. I realize the camera lights help as does the makeup but she must have had some work done. Botox? Restalyne?












J lo, j lo, jo. When are you going to stop cutting up your face?
Yes, that's right. Stand next to your ugly, scarecrow looking husband - it will make you look better. Smart girl.

















You've had so much work done, you now look Asian. Look at those eyes. And what is up with all the tanning/bronzer? It's too much. You look spotted.














Charlize Theron. Yes, you are one of the most beautiful women in the world but even you can't pull off this dress. What are you wearing???? It looks like a dress that maybe Santino would make on Project Runway. Seriously, what is up with that bow? And your hair! Why are you wearing a beehive?

Oscars Fashion Wrap-Up

Oscar Fashions from last night's show:


Best-dressed - Jessica Alba! She looked stunning in a pale yellow, beaded Versace gown. It was the best yellow dress of the night and there were many. My only critique is that her head looks enormous and her body tiny.



























I thought Nicole Kidman looked amazing but after seeing her photo again this morning, I really think she looks like she's going to a wedding...her own perhaps? She didn't walk the red carpet with Keith Urban but he was sitting next to her at the award show.
























Kiera Knightley in a burgundy Vera Wang gown. I thought she looked great but I didn't like her strawberry blond hair. I did like her jewels, vintage Bulgari.























Reese Witherspoon wearing a vintage Christian Dior gown. It's a- nice dress but it didn't look that great on her. She did win Best Actress and she is married to Ryan Phillippe so guess it's a win-win for her even though her dress is boring.





















Michelle Williams in a canary yellow aka mustard Vera Wang dress. You either love it or hate it.
























Must have been awkward for many people including Naomi Watts who had to see her ex, Heath Ledger, and his new fiancee, Michelle Williams in the front row. Remember when Heath broke up with Naomi because he didn't want to have a baby and then he has one with Michelle? Heart-breaking.



















Jennifer Aniston in a black Rochas gown. She looks a bit tired and haggard. Why does she look like she's still in mourning? She should've worn a red dress or something with color. Boring Maniston, boring.




















Felicity Huffman had a beautiful dress but I didn't think her conservative hair (bun) matched the sexiness of her dress. That deep-plunging necklne requires sexy hair not a boring updo/bun.





















Sandra Bullock in a navy blue gown with pockets - another trend of the night. I didn't think she looked that great and she showed up with Keanu Reeves, her old "Speed" co-star; he didn't look that good either. Kind of puffy and bloated looking and the clean-shaven look made him look fat.

























Jennifer Garner looked good given post-pregnancy in her yellow gown although she did slip on stage but she had a nice recovery - "I do my own stunts" - and got a nice laugh. I didn't see Ben Affleck there; perhaps he was hiding from his ex, J Ho.




















The old Jennifer, Ben Aflleck's ex, wearing a weird olive-green dress. I like the fit and the dress but not the color. It's a bit trashy looking just like her.

Matt Damon and his loves


Here's Matt Damon with his current love, Luciana aka Lucky Luci taking a stroll in South Beach. No, she didn't get fat; she's having his baby sometime in the summer.




















But the very same day, here's Matt with his first 'love', his best friend, Ben Affleck. Awww, how sweet. Matt looks tiny next to Big Ben.

Do they or don't they? Does Matthew McConaughey hate Sarah Jessica Parker?

Do Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker hate each other?

Yesterday, IMDB reported that MM thought SJP was peculiar. And I read on the AP wire that the quote was from the Barbara Walters special which I watched last night and there was no mention of it. Instead, there was a bizarre, kinky flirtation going on between MM and BW which ended with a footrub. Ewww.

Anyway, Here's the report from yesterday.
McConaughey Found Parker "Peculiar"
Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker star as onscreen sweethearts in Failure To Launch, but the actor reportedly couldn't stand Parker off-screen and found her "peculiar." The pair were starring in a breezy romantic comedy, but sources on the set say filming was anything but fun. One insider tells Msnbc's The Scoop website, "Matthew gets along with pretty much everyone, but he basically couldn't bear Sarah." The actor recently made an appearance on Oprah Winfrey's talk show and seemed to struggle when asked about the former Sex And The City star. When asked by Winfrey to sum-up working with Parker, the actor eventually came up with, "Great comedic timing." The actor then added, "Very peculiar, too. Man, she's a very interesting woman. Yeah."


And today, IMDB posts SJP's response and rebuttal against all gossip desperates.

Parker Dimisses McConaughey Feud
Sarah Jessica Parker has laughed off reports of friction with her Failure To Launch co-star Matthew McConaughey. An insider recently told MSNBC's The Scoop that the hunky actor found Parker "peculiar" and "couldn't bear (her)." However, the actress speaks highly of her onscreen sweetheart, saying he was "a pleasure to work with." The 40-year-old star adds she has been a victim of malicious gossip since reports of drama on the set of her long-running Sex And The City series surfaced years ago. She says, "I got branded as a bitch by gossips desperate for there to be bitter rivalry when the cameras stopped running. Matthew was a dream...the rumors are laughable."

Who knows who's telling the truth but I'm betting my money on Matthew McConaughey.
One thing's for certain - their new movie, "Failure to Launch" is a poor man's version of "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days." And she looks really bad (read: old) in the movie and they make the most unlikely couple. Zero chemistry.

Looking at this picture, I can't help but wonder why the producers of the movie didn't pick Rachel McAdams for the role - she is far better-looking and would've make a more likely coupling with MM. Live and learn.
