Michelle Obama Sweater Debacle – Photos

April 2, 2009 By 11 Comments

Everyone is going nuts over Michelle Obama’s sweater. The President’s wife met the Queen of England wearing a button down frumpy sweater. Michelle has gotten a lot criticism for wearing sleeveless looks and “looking like she constantly at a cocktail party.” I like her style, but her London visit wardrobe was a fail and a fry cry from her stunning entrance into the White House and lovely Vogue feature. See the Obama Vogue Feature by clicking HERE.

Then the First Lady wore another awful cardigan, by Junya Watanbe, that clashed blues with her dress. Her other choices were by J. Crew. J. Crew is never acceptable for a meeting-the-Queen-wear. She even missed a button on the Junya sweater and looks like a kindergartner who needs help. Someone needs to let her in on the secret that argyle and sequins are horrid combination.

That and when meeting the queen and foreign ambassadors it’s not wise to bust out the snakeskin pumps. Save it for Ladies Night at Camp David.

Note by The Dame: Thank you to those pointing out the Junya Watanbe sweater. However she DID wear J. Crew in some the photos show.

Keira Knightley Beaten by Boyfriend in Domestic Violence Ad – Video

April 2, 2009 By 1 Comment

Keira Knightley is seen being beaten by her boyfriends in an ad to raise awareness for domestic violence. The 2 minute commercial shows Keira coming home to an angry and jealous boyfriend who hits, kicks and slaps her. The actress took part in the ad directed by her “Atonement” pal Joe Wright for the charity, Women’s Aid.

Us Magazine Quotes Knightley:

“While domestic violence exists in every section of society we rarely hear about it. Domestic violence affects one in four women at some point in their lifetime and kills two women every week.”

This ad coincidentally comes on the heals of the Rihanna and Chris Brown saga. The pop princess was beaten by her boyfriend and left in a bloody mess after a fight in Brown’s car erupted. RiRi is just one of many stars to suffer domestic abuse. Robin Givens suffered at the hands of Mike Tyson. Tina Turner took years of abuse from her husband, Ike. Sharon Osbourne was beaten by her own father several times. Whitney Houston also claims her husband, Bobby Brown, hit her on several occasions.

Keira’s ad will air in theaters starting April 6th.

Britney Spears Plots to End Fathers Control, Returns to Lutfi ?!?

April 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Britney Spears is a sneaky lil’ thing!! Together with Sam Lutfi’s little sister Christina, the pair hatched a plan to override her fathers control over her by getting a cell phone to Britney so she can contact Sam behind her fathers back! Christina testified in a Los Angeles court on Wednesday about the incident, claiming Britney had initially called Sam’s cell phone number in mid-January to speak with Christina.

Per People:

“[Britney] told me she wanted to get a hold of Sam,” said Christina, 25, whose brother had once been Spears’s manager. “She wanted him to help her find a lawyer, and wanted someone to get a prepaid cell phone to her. She was scared because her father was blackmailing her with visitation rights over her kids… She asked me, ‘Will Sam be able to help me?’” Christina added.

Spears told Christina to meet her at the gym on the 5th floor at the Peninsula Hotel on January 16th. When Christina arrived, she saw Spears working out with her mother and a bodyguard. They later met up in the sauna at the hotel, and thats where the exchanging of the cell phone took place, with Christina telling Britney the phone was from Sam and ex boyfriend Adnan Ghalib. Britney’s security team later discovered and confiscated the phone from her purse.

Blair Burke, a lawyer for Britneys’ father Jamie, testified on Wednesday that Britney was in such fear of Sam that she asked if she could have him arrested to keep him away from her. An alleged recording of the singer is making its rounds on the internet, in which she asks for a lawyer’s help in ending her father’s legal control. Burke claims that Britney repeatedly denies that she was seeking outside legal help, and expressed doubt in the recording’s authenticity.

Jamie Spears and a lawyer were granted indefinite legal control over Britney following her two forced hospitalizations in early 2008. The ongoing hearing is to determine whether to extend a restraining order against Lutfi. Jamie Spears alleges Lutfi is harassing his daughter and is conspiring to disrupt his legal control over her life. Bryan Freedman, the attorney for Lutfi, is denying that he has done any wrongdoing.

“Sam’s only crime was trying to help out a friend,” Freedman tells PEOPLE. “When someone asks for your help, that person is obviously not scared of you or in need of a restraining order.”

Closing arguments in the restraining order case won’t be heard until April 21. Lutfi is forbidden to have any contact with Britney until then. Hopefully after then, he still won’t be allowed back into her life! Hang tight Brit. Just like the kitten poster at my dentist.

Project Runway Returns!

April 2, 2009 By 1 Comment

Let choirs of angels rejoice! The fashion heavens have parted the sea of legal battles and a ray of sun hath risen “Project Runway.” Birds are singing in jubilation, children are parading in the streets singing of the return of Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum.

Bravo and Lifetime have been battling over reality hit, “Project Runway.” Finally, all regards to the fate of the show have been legally settled and will return to tv. People has confirmed the final season, which has already been shot with a finale filmed at New York Fashion Week last month, will make it air this summer.

Sadly, the show will not return to it’s original home. Lifetime won the rights and everything will move from New York to Los Angeles. The reigning judges panel will remain with Heidi Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. Tim will also be there to mentor and guide the rising designers. (Yay for me. I can stalk Tim Gunn better this way. Er…I mean worship from afar.)

The show has gathered a celebrity following. Last season we were treated to a few guest judges that ranged from L.L. Cool J to Natalie Portman. Jennifer Lopez was due to be a final judge, but backed out last minute because she stubbed her toe…had the trots or something ridiculous like that. Season 6 will feature Christina Aguilera, Eva Longoria Parker and Rebecca Romijn. (I am hoping Eva is also stricken with a wicked toe stubbing and will be forced to be replaced.)

Bravo is replacing their fashion reality jewel with another style challenging show. The creative title for the replace is called, “The Fashion Show.” This sounds like an disaster waiting to happen. Isaac Mizrahi, who owes me $39.95 for some bed sheets that lasted 2 months, is joining forces with Kelly Rowland. I can just picture Kelly trying to work it like Heidi and treated the eliminated guest to her rendition of ’N Sync’s “Bye, Bye, Bye” while Isaac dances in the background.

Stephen Colbert Slams Glenn Beck – Video

April 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment

The Colbert Report Mon – Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c
The 10/31 Project
comedycentral.com
Colbert Report Full Episodes Political Humor NASA Name Contest

My boo, Stephen Colbert, attacked Glenn Beck on his show. The “Colbert Report” is one of my favorite entertainment venues. (Yes, I am biased thanks to the fact that my male equivalent is hosting the show.)

Stephen ripped Beck and his 9-12 project by focusing on his hypocrisy and over the top fake crying to build a career at the hands of those effected by 9/11. Glenn’s project is a dedication to help rise again, but not for the families of the those lost that day.

Via Huffington Post:

“This is horrible to say, and I wonder if I’m alone in this,” Beck said on his radio program that day, “you know it took me about a year to start hating the 9/11 victims’ families?” Glenn said on his radio show. “I don’t hate all of them. I hate probably about 10 of them. But when I see a 9-11 victim family on television, or whatever, I’m just like, ‘Oh, shut up!’ I’m so sick of them because they’re always complaining. And we did our best for them.”

Colbert then mocked the New York Times lackey:

“Yes, the 9-12 project is not for families directly affected by 9/11, just people building their careers on it.”

Well said boo. Well said.

Heidi Montag Claims to be Pregnant

April 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Sweet Mother of Gucci NO!!!! The dumb donkey from “The Hills” is knocked up. I am praying that baby Jesus uses his powers to make her barren. Or that this is a horrid April Fools Day joke that is meant to garner press.

Heidi Montag claimed to be pregnant and announced this via her Twitter site. I am guessing she is attempting to witty. You know if she was actually preggers she’d be selling that baby from the stick she peed on to the first baby photos. That and the fact that Spencer’s sperm is too busy trying to grow baby pubic beards. She is coincidentally trying to shill some new shiz that is the short bus version of music.

Robert Pattinson and Nikki Reed Caught Together And New Moon Set Photos

April 1, 2009 By 11 Comments

Twi-Hards rejoice! Some new photos from the set of “New Moon” have surfaced. The pics show Kristen Stewart (Bella) hanging in what is supposed to be LaPush with Taylor Lautner (Jacob).

I must admit, the pics do get me tingling in anticipation for the release of the next film. I was a little worried about Lautner being able to beef-up to play my second favorite werewolf (TEAM PAUL!), but from the pics it appears he is holding his own.

Lainey Gossip is also reporting some exclusive news about Robert Pattinson and his co-star Nikki Reed. Apparently, the two were spotted getting quite cozy with each other at a Juno Awards after party they attended on Sunday night with Kristen Stewart and her boyfriend Michael Aragano.

Via Lainey Gossip:

“Am told Rob and Nikki spent much of the time talking to each other, heads bent close together. My sources tell me exclusively that at the end of the evening, or early morning depending how you see it, the four of them left the event, hugged before parting ways (a weird 4-way group hug), Kristen and Michael hopped in a cab, and Nikki and Rob walked further up the block… arms wrapped around each other on their way home. She stayed with him overnight, was supposed to be back in LA on Monday….But never showed.”

So what do we think? Are they boyfriend/girlfriend? Probably not. Are they hooking-up? Likely. However, I am inclined to believe the story was leaked by Nikki herself who is rumored to have a penchant for shopping stories to the paparazzi.

In my world, Reed and Pattinson returned to the hotel where he rejected her advances and she passed out from eating a half-gallon of Cherry Garcia thus missing her plane back to LA. I can dream, right?

Brad Pitt’s Angelina Jolie Marriage Ultimatum

April 1, 2009 By 1 Comment

The worlds most glamorous couple has everything going for them – except for one thing…. Marriage! A friend of the couples has revealed that Brad Pitt has issued Angelina Jolie an ultimatum – “Marry me, or its over!” Another source reveals that although Brad hopes to have more children with Angelina, he definitely wants to be married beforehand.

Per OK! Magazine:

“Their relationship is so out of kilter, he believes marriage is the only thing that will bring it back around, He needs to know Angie is really committed to him,” the friend says. “Becoming Mrs. Pitt would give him that answer.”

Why the sudden foot-down from Brad? Essentially its because he’s stressed out, pretty much acting like a single father while his Oscar winning flame is frantically pursuing film and humanitarian work. Brad is said to be feeling increasingly frustrated with the lack of time he is spending with Angelina. He is currently staying in New York’s Waldorf Astoria hotel with the children to be closer to Angelina, who is filming new spy movie “Salt” in the city. It was recently reported Brad had pleaded with Angelina to attend couples’ counseling in a desperate bid to save their relationship. Angelina is said to have agreed, but only after seeking the advice of her ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton.

If you believe the source claiming these statements, then expect a Brangelina wedding sometime soon in the future, with the couple having an intimate family wedding in New Orleans. In homage to her late mom, Marcheline Bertrand, Angelina will wear a romantic simple dress modeled after the one her mother wore when she married her father, John Voight.

John Mayer Obsesses Over Perez and Confirms Make Out Rumor – Video

April 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment

It’s been obvious, to me anyway, that John Mayer is queerer than a $3 bill. He has been obsessed with Perez Hilton and won’t shut up about his conquest. There was a huge debacle in which Perez claimed John made out with him. Mayer denied that shiz as he was dating Jessica Simpson at the time.

However, on John Mayer’s Big Gay Boat Ride on his Mayercraft Cruise he confirmed that he did in fact make out with Perez.

“You’re damn right I made out with him. You know why? Because I can’t stand a gay guy who acts like he just turned gay yesterday,” Mayer explained. “I can’t take it. As soon as a guy is walking around all wild… I will fu** you in the ass to shut you up.”

How nice. Good for you. For awhile I thought you were really that big of an a-hole. Turns out you were just a bitchy queen struggling with your sexuality. I mean, it was obvious that Jennifer Aniston was your beard, but this makes you slightly more tolerable. Toot toot sailor!

Bridget Moynahan is Going to Shank Gisele Bundchen

April 1, 2009 By 2 Comments

Remember when baby daddy stealing Gisele Bundchen talked crazy to Vanity Fair about her Tom Brady’s son being “100% her own” baby? Yeah, that didn’t sit well with his real mother.

Bridget Moynahan is furious with Gisele. The newlywed Victoria Secret veteran wasn’t exactly in the good graces of Bridget, but now that she has brought baby John into her press whoring the gloves are off. A “friend” of team Moynahan went to Page Six and revealed her wrath.

“If Gisele loved Bridget’s child like he was ’100 percent her own,’ then she would not talk about him in the press. Discretion and respect are not either of Gisele or Tom’s virtues, as was evidenced even when the child was still unborn and they publicly flaunted their relationship without any discretion whatsoever.

Don’t you think Jack will grow up and read her comments and find them disrespectful to him and his mother? If Tom is such a great father as everyone likes to say, then you would think that he’d respect the privacy of his young child and would ask his wife not to use his son as a publicity prop and a subject of public discussion. Is she is so desperate for attention that she can’t find anything more productive to talk about other than Bridget’s child?”

Egads. Someone is going to get an earful from someone’s attorney. I am guessing Tom doesn’t ask Gisele to do anything. Princess Chi Chi’s probably does, says and gets whatever her perky bum wants. The “friend” also added in a final quip…

“Hey Gisele — real mothers don’t call their kids ‘it.’ “

This is true and hence my aversion to children. I once called the little mongrel boys next door “those things of mass destruction their parents call children” and I am no longer on their Christmas Card list. Which is said because I now lack something festive to line my kitty’s poo box with.
