All week, I?ve been avoiding Poosh, which is Kourtney Kardashian?s new lifestyle site. Kourtney is the Kardashian sister who is the least interested in branding and co-branding her lifestyle, but I do know that this whole Poosh thing was years in the making. As far as I can tell, the launch of the site went well no big or small technical difficulties, and there was some buzz about it. It feels like these kinds of lifestyle sites were the thing to do about four or five years ago, but nowadays, there aren?t that many people who are just now trying to replicate the model Gwyneth Paltrow gave people with Goop.
That being said, by the time I actually went to Poosh go here I was actually sort of impressed? Kourtney has good people working on her site, and the editorial layout reminds me a bit of the American Vogue site. It?s user-friendly and it?s not banging people over the head with spon-con and advertising. The content is very Goop-lite it?s all about diets and ?looking good naked? and bargain basement pop-culture feminism.
Weirdly, the worst part of Poosh is the name? Is it poooo-sh or PAAW-sh? Apparently, Kourtney named it after her daughter Penelope, whose nickname is Poosh. Kourtney released a statement about the launch, saying:
Named for her 6-year-old daughter Penelope, who is affectionately called Poosh, the site caters to women who carry the same spirit of ?playing by their own rules, coloring outside of the lines and celebrating life with an infectious confidence and ease.?
People are constantly asking me how I do it all, from being a single mom to working full-time to still maintaining a social life,? Kardashian said in a statement. ?I get endless questions about food, kids, beauty and fashion, so I decided to create Poosh, a curated experience and a destination for modern living.?

What do you think? I?m glad it?s not a paywalled/subscription thing. I?m happy that she got professionals to design it and operate it. But yeah, I don?t think many people really were clamoring for Kourtney?s secrets. Still, at least she has a ?thing? now. Her thing used to be ?being lazy and morose.?

| | Angelina Jolie should do 'The Eternals,' it sounds like an amazing franchise | | Added 5 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

My contrarian nature means that I generally don?t feel the hype for whatever big extravaganza movie is coming out. If I see a Marvel movie eventually, I?m fine, but if I miss one or several, I?m fine with that too. But I?m genuinely hyped for the rumor that Angelina Jolie is in talks for her first superhero movie. We learned that Jolie is in talks for The Eternals, which is part of Marvel?s latest phase. The film will be directed by Chloe Zhao, which is probably one of the attractions for Angelina, the chance to work with an esteemed female director. As many of you pointed out, being ?in talks? isn?t a sure thing, and obviously there are several actors who were in talks for Marvel movies and nothing happened. But the more I?m reading about The Eternals, the more I think Angelina would be amazing in the lead role. The Hollywood Reporter had a lengthy primer on the comic and mythology, and the role of Sersi, which is the role Angelina is likely in talks to play.
While details on the film have been locked up tighter than Odins vault, The Eternals, based on the epic saga by comic book legend Jack Kirby, focuses on immortal superpowered beings created by the Celestials, the cosmic giants seen in the Infinity Stones sequence in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014). Zhaos film is said to be led by Sersi and Ikaris, two Eternals whose love story rests at the center of an eons-spanning conflict. Marvel had no comment on who Jolie might play, but given that shes the first actor to be cast, it seems likely that shes up for the transmutation-powered Sersi. Jolie also looks a great deal like many artists depiction of the character. But who is Sersi? And what does Jolies casting tell us about the film?
Unlike the previous films that have made up the Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Eternals is based around largely unknown entities, even for most comic book readers. This unknown quality plus the fact that Marvel Comics hasnt made much effort in reprinting Kirbys series or key appearances of the characters (yet), adds a level of excitement and novelty to Zhaos feature. As a property thats more situated in the realm of sci-fi and fantasy than superhero yarns, learning about the Eternals is akin to taking a deep-dive into J.R.R. Tolkiens Middle-earth history or George R.R. Martins Westeros and Essos When it comes to the Celestials, the Eternals and their evil counterparts the Deviants (Thanos race), this is heavy Marvel mythology, the building blocks of the universe, and far more complex than anything weve seen Marvel Studios adapt thus far.
Created by Jack Kirby, Sersi first appeared in Strange Tales No. 109 (1963), with the name spelled Circe, then later as Sersi in The Eternals No. 3 (1976). The distinction in spelling highlights a very important aspect of The Eternals comic book history. While Greek gods and goddesses exist in the Marvel Universe, they would often let the Olympia-based Eternals represent their physical forms for the humans on Earth, hence many of the Eternals sharing names similar to their Greek counterparts. This distinction sounds like something the MCU will merge and just make the Eternals the inspiration for the Greek Pantheon, like the Asgardians were the basis for the Norse Gods. The comics have already done some of this synthesizing. Sersi inspired the poet Homer, who included her under the name Circe in The Odyssey in which she turned men into swine. Because of her powers to manipulate matter and rearrange molecular structures, she was often seen as a witch rather than a result of alien experimentation, allowing her to move across comic book genres.
While most of the Eternals eventually returned to the cosmos in search of their larger destiny, Sersi remained on Earth, fascinated with its people and customs. She involved herself in key moments in history, lived in ancient Rome and Camelot, fought alongside Thor and the Vikings in the gods youth and later joined the Avengers.
Having lived for millennia, Sersi has taken on many roles on Earth and has changed her personality as shes seen fit, taking the most out of her immortal existence. This worldliness and interest in alleviating human conflict and suffering falls in line with Jolies own humanitarian and conservation effortsIts impossible to capture the massive potential and mythology of The Eternals through one character and casting choice. But Jolies involvement at least gives us a better idea of whats coming down the road post-Avengers: Endgame. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has promised a very different MCU after April 26, and if Jolies casting and Sersis eons-spanning history and mythology is any indication, Marvels storytelling and casting is only growing in ambition.
[From The Hollywood Reporter]
The reason this is so appealing to me as a Jolie fan/stan is the idea of Jolie as an ageless goddess who moves through the mortal world, dipping in and out of history for millennia. Angelina as Sersi in Camelot, or ancient Rome, or the Renaissance? Come on. I would stan this franchise.

| | Celine Dion: 'Feeling beautiful makes you feel strong. Feeling strong makes you succeed' | | Added 5 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Celine Dion has just been signed as a L?Oreal Paris global ambassador. She?s kind of perfect for that role. I?d love to see her and fellow ambassador, Helen Mirren, do a spot together ? Helen gracefully explaining the advantages of a product and Celine running around in the background excitedly talking about how amazing! it is. Clearly Celine is tickled to have been hired on, and she should be. She?s gone through a metamorphosis since her husband, Ren Anglil, passed away. I think that?s a great message for L?Oreal to promote, not just surviving loss but learning how to flourish after it. And that?s what Celine is doing, something she credit to feeling strong.
She?s worth it! Songstress extraordinaire and style icon Celine Dion is about to embark on a world tour and work on new music? but that?s not all she?s got up her sartorial sleeve: The 51-year-old chanteuse was just announced as a spokesmodel for L?Oreal Paris to represent the brand globally.
The Canadian mother of three (son Ren-Charles, 18, and 8-year-old twin boys Eddy and Nelson) believes the brand has fueled the power of beauty, helping women feel more confident and powerful. With its slogan ?because I?m worth it?, L?Oreal has given a voice to women around the world, she says. ?Maybe you?re not out there on stage, or out there on TV, but we all have a voice. Because we are worth it. We have dreams.? And feeling good about how you look is not just a feeling, she says. ?Feeling beautiful makes you feel strong. And feeling strong makes you succeed.?
Embarking on this partnership with L?Oreal marks a new beginning for Dion, who has been reinventing herself after suffering the loss of her husband Ren Anglil in January of 2016. ?For the last couple of years, I feel like I?ve grown in a very strong and happy way. Through dance, through friendship, through my team, through motherhood.?
How has her self-care routine changed as her life?s evolved? The self-described ?dramatic? turned to ballet as a way to reduce stress and do something for herself in her little downtime. ?I decided, when I met Pepe [Muoz, her dancer, trainer, stylist and frequent companion], that maybe it?s a sign.? Ballet is ?so romantic, dramatic, sensual, it?s like a dream,? she says.
[From Us]
?Feeling beautiful makes you feel strong. And feeling strong makes you succeed.? This is very on brand or both Celine and L?Oreal. Obviously feeling beautiful comes from a very different place than trying to make yourself look beautiful to the outside world. Feeling it comes from within and in that context, the quote works. It?s not my favorite way to say it but I agree with the sentiment. Confidence is a powerful tool in whatever you are hoping to accomplish but find it in yourself first. Celine embodies this idea. She had to take full control of her life and career after Ren had managed every aspect of her since she was an adolescent. And she?s thrived.
Celine told People, ?I never really felt confident beauty-wise. I?ve never felt as beautiful, as strong, and I really think that the best is yet to come.? This surprised me. Not the best is yet to come part, but that?s she didn?t feel confident beauty-wise. I?ve always had the impression there wasn?t anything she wasn?t confident about, just goes to show you. Of course, that last bit about her self-care evolving since she met Pepe and how he?s reducing her stress ? I imagine Pepe is doing wonders for her confidence? among other *ahem* things.

Ariana Grande released a new song and video on Monday with Victoria Mont called Monopoly. While weve only seen Ari dating (and recycling) guys, the lyrics suggest she might be into women too. They include I swerve both ways, dichotomy and I like women and men, Work so fn much, need a twinny, twin, twin. Victoria is a cowriter of the song and shes openly bisexual, so this part might not even be written by Ariana, but it still got fans speculating about Arianas orientation.
In response questions about that, Ariana clarified that shes not going to label her orientation.
i haven?t before and still don?t feel the need to now ?????? which is okay

| | Anna Faris isn't sure she wants to marry again after her two divorces | | Added 5 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Anna Faris has already been married and divorced twice. Her first marriage was to Ben Indra, and from the way she talks about it, it sounds like a somewhat dysfunctional starter marriage and she was happy to be single when they got divorced. Then she met Chris Pratt and everything changed they got married and became parents, and their marriage fell apart. I really do believe that they?re good exes though they seem to still be very close and they might have one of the best co-parenting situations in Hollywood. Anna moved on from Pratt very quickly, and she?s still dating Michael Barrett, the same guy she?s been with for a few years now. But now that Pratt is getting married to Katherine Schwarzenegger, does Anna feel those bridal urges?
With two marriages down, Anna Faris isn?t sure if she will ever get married again. She says she loves her boyfriend, Michael Barrett, but doesn?t like the idea of matrimony. While talking to Laura Wasser on her podcast, ?Divorce Sucks!? the actress said she is leaning to the ?no? side of getting wed over ?yes.?
Faris notes that the legal implications of getting married on paper bother her. She does add that she still believes in commitment and monogamy.
?I believe in love and monogamy and I believe in the commitment with a relationship, but I do struggle, having been through it a couple of times now Laura, with the idea of our legal systemI struggle with that on kind of a feminist level,? Faris said on the show.
[From ET Canada]
I think that?s a smart and mature decision, honestly. I can completely understand how someone would be over the whole institution after two rounds of marriage. I think Anna is self-aware enough to understand that the whole ?fairy tale? of ?forever? isn?t for her. I also appreciate that she isn?t competing with Chris Pratt I like her more for knowing herself and for not playing that ?I need to be engaged too!? game. I think Anna is at a point in her life where she relishes her independence overall too she was overshadowed so much when she was with Pratt, and post-divorce, shes been reclaiming her identity.

| | Geri Halliwell calls Mel B's affair claims 'simply not true' and 'very hurtful' | | Added 5 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

What would you do if a coworker told everyone that youd hooked up with them and it wasnt true? If you ignored it might be interpreted that youre silently saying its true. If you denied it then the story would get more traction though, and some would still believe it. Thats the situation Geri Halliwell, Ginger Spice, must have found herself in after Mel B claimed in an interview that they hooked up once back in their Spice Girls days. Mel said this in an interview with Piers Morgan about a week ago. Sources close to Geri denied it off the record but then The Daily Mail ran an article over the weekend claiming that their affair was more than one night as Mel claimed and that it lasted about a year in the mid 90s. After all that Geris rep issued a statement saying that it wasnt true and that Mel made up the story, essentially. Then Mel tried to claim she never said that, which is not the case. Geri calls it hurtful but her rep couches it in language like there are no hard feelings. The show must go on as The Spice Girls tour starts in less than a month.
In a statement to E! News, Geris representative says, It has been very disappointing to read about all these rumours again, especially on Mothers Day of all days She would like you to know that what has been reported recently is simply not true and has been very hurtful to her family.
While Geri calls the statements hurtful, she by no means holds any anger towards Mel B. Moving forward, Geri cant wait to see the girls and all the fans on the tour, have an amazing time with everyone, and make some new memories, the rep continues.
Moreover, the rep says in a message directed towards her fans, Geri is really grateful for your support and loyalty for so many years. She loves the Spice Girls: Emma, Melanie, Melanie and Victoria.
In an interview with Australian radio show 2Day 104.1, [Mel B] explained that she never admitted to having sexual relations with anyone. All five of us [slept in a bed together], we were on tour, we had all of our own hotel rooms booked but we all ended up bunking in together. Thats what girls do, she explained. It wasnt like a big deal, weve known each other 20 plus years, it was just one thing that happened one night. I didnt go into detail about it, at all.
[From E! Online]
This is revisionist by Mel. On Piers show she was very clear what she meant and it was not everyone bunking together. Still I get why shes trying to downplay it now that Geri is denying everything and calling it hurtful. Mel accomplished what she wanted, she got headlines ahead of the Spice Girls tour and now people are going to pay attention to how Geri and Mel interact. It is curious, though, that it took Geri a week to deny this. Maybe the Daily Mail story prompted her, or maybe she and Mel are in on this together and timed it all out. Im not saying thats the case! Just that the timing is suspect.

Sometimes I wish I could have the confidence and complete lack of giving of f-k of say, Tori Spelling, but then I realize that would make me a worse person than I already am. Tori owes hundreds of thousands to creditors but shes still doing her thing and acting like nothing matters. I get antsy if I forget to pay the water bill on time, but Tori is out here skipping court dates and Instagramming her travels. On Friday Tori was scheduled to appear in court for failing to pay a judgment against her. She owes over $260k to City National Bank on an unpaid loan from 2016. Thats a default judgment because neither she nor her lawyer showed up in court. This is just one of Toris many unpaid creditors. Shes had her accounts seized by the IRS, she owes $88k to Amex and she also owes back taxes to the State of California. So Tori didnt show up in court and the judge issued a bench warrant and set her bail at $5k, according to E!.
We know that Tori was in Israel on Monday with her buddy Jennie Garth and her new face because Tori Instagrammed it. They were doing a commercial for a kids clothing line. This reminds me of when Toris husband Deans ex wife was making it public that Dean owed her over $100k in back child support while Tori and Dean were in Iceland on vacation. Again we know because Tori Instagrammed that too.
