Ben Affleck Back to Drinking

January 28, 2010 By 2 Comments

Ben Affleck, who checked into rehab back in 2001 to battle his alcohol problem, was reportedly spotted at the Sundance Film Festival throwing back a couple of drinks. Despite a public declaration that he was through with drinking, both he and co-star Tommy Lee Jones were seen toasting the success of their movie “The Company Men” together.

Per Radar:

At the party for his new movie, Affleck “immediately sat down at a VIP table and grabbed the bottle of Absolut in front of him and poured a drink,” a source told RadarOnline.com.

That’s not a wise move when you’ve sought out help before. But at Sundance the people around Ben were so shocked by his drinking that they cleared all the photographers out of the area to protect him from what could have been career-wrecking press. Lets hope this was a one time thing and Ben keeps his act together.

Dennis Hopper Threatened and Abused Wife

January 28, 2010 By 1 Comment

Dennis Hopper, currently on his death bed, stunned everyone recently by filing for divorce from his wife of 13 years, Victoria.

Now, Victoria is firing back, claiming the seasoned actor was not only abusive to her, but also kept loaded guns in their home-unsecure and within reach of the couple’s 6 year-old daughter, Galen.

In recently released divorce documents (read those here and here), Victoria details the verbal abuse she received and touches on Hopper’s alleged addition to drugs.

Via The Daily Beast:

“I discovered a pistol with multiple rounds of ammunition in Petitioner’s [Hopper's] bedroom drawer. The gun and ammunition was unsecure and easily accessible, including to Galen. I also located a loaded shotgun, unsecure, in our bedroom closet. I told Petitioner to remove the guns from our home. Petitioner agreed. I immediately moved the guns to a secure temporary location and later had them removed by a police officer.”

This followed another incident in which she claims Hopper told her that if she divorced him, “Something bad is going to happen to you and you won’t see it coming.”

Victoria also alleges that Dennis doesn’t really wish to end their marriage, that rather he is being persuaded to do so by other family members and his lawyers as a last ditch effort to get his estate in order before he dies.

Along with her scathing allegations, Victoria also lists her expenses, including $450 needed per month for “walking around” money for such items like coffee.

Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas Reheating and Reconnecting

January 28, 2010 By 6 Comments

I guess a 27 second break up call just wasn’t enough for her! Joe Jonas says he has been “reconnecting” with ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift and in a recent interview he hinted he may be rekindling his romance with the country singer.

Per Digital Spy:

Speaking to E!’s Daily 10, he said: “We’ve actually recently reconnected, which is good. I hope she gets a Grammy. She deserves it.”

Jonas and Swift dated, and broke up, in 2008. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Swift claims Jonas broke up with her in a 27-second phone call. Since then, both have taken little jabs at eachother in interviews and in their songs. After their breakup, Jonas dated actress Camilla Belle while Swift has been linked to Taylor Lautner and new rumored beau John Mayer. Swift was seen watching Mayer tape a segment of “CMT’s Crossroads” with Keith Urban in Tennessee on the 26th, two days later after the two shared a cozy dinner in Nashville. The couple also attended the launch of VEVO in NYC together back on December 8th.

Per Hollywood Life:

John has described Taylor as the “Stevie Nicks to his Tom Petty” on Twitter, while Taylor gushed to Elle magazine that she, “freaked out when I heard [John wanted to make a song with me], because I’ve been such a big fan of John for such a long time. I’m really excited about just the idea that he would even mention me in his Twitter!”

Lets just hope he doesn’t treat her like he did Jennifer Aniston, with all the repeated dumping! Hmmm… Its a toss up for her on whether Mayer or Jonas will be the bigger douche given their history.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Legal Documents Actually a Prenup

January 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Here we go again. These two have been rumored to be splitting up, getting married, while buying babies from some village in Haiti. So here are the new stories being pumped into you Brangelina hongray eyeballs….

brad-pitt-and-angelina-jolie-mag-covers

Life and Style (via Starpulse) is probably the closest to the truth:

“Brad and Angelina had a meeting with a top law firm in L.A. in December, where they worked out terms of a legal document similar to a pre-nup. The couple signed the document in early January. They agreed to share their money and assets and custody of their six children, all of whom would live with Angelina in the event of their parents’ break-up. They didn’t talk to the lawyer about splitting, nor was that ever mentioned at the meeting. Brad and Angelina aren’t splitting right now.”

TMZ is bashing reports that Brad and his chin pubs of power bought a bachelor pad.

“The home — located in the Hollywood Hills — is the newest piece of Brad’s master plan to expand the sprawling compound he shares with Angelina and their 86 children. The evidence is clear — first off, Brad purchased the home back in August — long before rumors of a break up began to make the rounds. Second — the place was a dump and Brad couldn’t move in — even if he wanted to — because the home was far from livable at the time he bought it.”

OK Magazine wins the award for Supreme Nuttery in the Category of Fictitious Hook Ups at Buffet Lines or Juice Bars Officiated by George Clooney. The mag basically states that Brad did his ho stroll for Jennifer Aniston at the buffet line backstage at the Hope for Haiti Telethon. They ended up crying on each-other’s shoulders and pledging their reborn again virginity to Kirk Cameron.

“Leave it to sly George Clooney to play matchmaker. When the actor asked both Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston to volunteer for the Hope For Haiti Now telethon he was staging in L.A. on Jan. 22, he knew the two were bound to bump into each other. And they did just that, reuniting at an elaborate backstage buffet at the live event — while Brad’s partner, Angelina Jolie, was in NYC for a photo shoot.”

One thing that we know for sure is that these covers will be the new wallpaper for Jen’s spare bathroom.

ABC Cancels ‘Ugly Betty’

January 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment

ugly-betty

When ‘Ugly Betty’ first premiered I watched it. I liked it. America Ferrera was adorable.

And then…

…well, when Rebecca Romijin was suddenly a cast-member who used to be a man so she could get back at her dad while her brother hit on her-that’s when I (and apparently everyone else) stopped watching.

ABC told the show’s producers yesterday that Betty’s current season, its fourth, is also its last.

Via Entertainment Weekly:

“The good news is that ABC has given Betty’s bosses enough time to craft a satisfying series finale. Exec producer Silvio Horta and ABC president Steve McPherson confirmed as much in this joint statement: ‘We’ve mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty’s final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell.’”

No word yet as to whether or not Betty’s Guadalajara poncho will make a final appearance.

Hollywood’s Newest Vampire: ‘Avatar’s’ Sam Worthington

January 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment

sam worthington airport 161209

I really wasn’t shocked today when I opened my email to see that Universal Pictures is planning on making its own vampire movie. And, though commenters across the web seem surprised, I also wasn’t shocked to see that they have offered the role of ‘Dracula’ to ‘Avatar’ hottie Sam Worthington.

So what does all this mean?

Well kittens, Comcast purchased Universal Pictures and now it needs a winfall-it needs a big time blockbuster. And, since they apparently have done no research, they think suckling onto the Twilight teet will help. Throw in an actor from another blockbuster (i.e. Avatar) and you’ll automatically have a winner, right?

Via Latino Review:

“DRACULA: YEAR ZERO. Yes I know, un titulo de mierda. This is a period retelling of Dracula. Like back in Transylvania and sh*t. Vampires and Vlad the impaler. You know, Van Helsing without that dial a hack Sommers. Because Dracula worked out so well in Blade: Trinity. And I think there was a Dracula 2000… but I don’t know who saw it.

Check it though, you know who is supposed to play Dracula? Sam Worthington! That’s right, the newly minted “movie star” who everybody paid to see in Avatar. Except they didn’t pay to see him now did they?”

Or did they?

Worthington hasn’t exactly been hit with the ugly stick. He’s hot. The real question is whether or not he can carry a movie and whether or not chicks will find him hot enough to sit through a period piece.

Natalie Portman Vegan Home Wrecking ?!?

January 26, 2010 By 2 Comments

Seems as though Natalie Portman hasn’t given up her homewrecking ways just yet. (Read more about that here.) Portman has been dating a New York City Ballet dancer by the name Benjamin Millepied who’s reportedly a choreographer for her new movie “The Black Swan.” Sounds innocent enough, right? In most situations it would be – except for the fact that Millepied was still dating – and living with – his girlfriend of three years.

Per NYPost:

“They’ve been dating since the fall, although she told friends that she hasn’t gone public with it because she was waiting to see if things got serious,” a source tells Page Six. “But the real reason she was quiet about things is that Ben had a live-in girlfriend of three years when they met. She was a ballerina at the American Ballet Theater. She had been talking about marrying him and was blindsided by the split. She moved out right after New Year’s Eve.”

Are you really surprised? Rumor has it she once tried to steal Brad Pitt away from Angelina Jolie. I guess this girl likes playing dangerously. Its time to put a new face up on the “whos-portman-hitting-today” wheel.
