Poised for another big year, Jennifer Lopez fronts the February 2016 issue of InStyle magazine, proving she?s still a fashionable force to be reckoned with.
The ?Waiting For Tonight? babe confesses that at 46 years of age, she?s no longer looking to get hitched- ?I need to be happy on my own. If someone fits into that, great. But if they don't, that's OK too. As girls, I think we are taught from a very young age that someone else is going to bring us our happiness. I was waiting for Prince Charming. Everybody I met was going to be the guy I was going to spend my life with. And then you realize, 'I'm strong. I'm my own keeper, my own savior.? That's been the journey for me.?
And if she ever gets lonely, Jen looks no further than her twins Max and Emme- ?They come with me everywhere. I am busy, and they know it. And they know part of their job is helping me get sleep. If I'm sleeping in, they're very quiet, like, 'Mommy needs to sleep! She worked late last night!' We're a team.?

Actress Ashley Greene has settled a lawsuit with her former doorman over a blaze at her apartment.
Fire broke out at the Twilight star's home in Granville Towers, West Hollywood in 2013 after an unattended candle set light to a couch while the actress, her brother and a boyfriend were sleeping.
They narrowly escaped the blaze, which was ruled an accident, but her dog Marlo was killed and doorman Adrian Mayorga was injured as he tried to rescue other residents.
Mayorga filed a lawsuit against Greene months later in 2013 alleging he needed medical help following the incident, and she was due to face deposition questioning at the end of 2015.
Greene and Mayorga have now reached a settlement in the case, according to TMZ.com, although details of the agreement have not been disclosed.
Four other residents also sued over the fire, claiming the blaze ruined their homes. The outcome of those lawsuits is not known.

| | Kate Winslet: what's vulgar 'is talking publicly about actual earning of money' | | Added 8 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Here are some photos of Kate Winslet at the Palm Springs International Film Festival over the weekend. Kate wore a sleek Roland Mouret gown with a very familiar silhouette. The past few years, Kate has worn a seemingly endless succession of similar gowns, usually Mouret or Stella McCartney. I don?t hate it, honestly. I feel like she?s never really been a ?fashion girl,? so she?s just sticking with something comfortable and familiar. While Kate has scored Best Supporting Actress nominations at the Golden Globes and SAGs, I?m really, really hoping she gets snubbed for an Oscar nomination for Steve Jobs. She was the worst part of that movie.
Meanwhile, back in November, Kate got a lot of pushback and WTFs when she said some words during a BBC interview. Honestly, her entire Steve Jobs promotional tour was a mess and the whole thing made me realize that she?s really stuck up her own ass for the most part. But during the BBC interview, Winslet was asked about Jennifer Lawrence?s wage inequality essay and Kate shut down the conversation by saying that the whole discussion was ?vulgar? and ?strange? and that we shouldn?t be talking about any of this publicly. While at the PSIFF, she was asked about her ?vulgar? statement, and this is what she said:
Kate Winslet says previous comments she made about the hot button issue were “misinterpreted” when she described public discussion of salaries as “vulgar.”
“When you’re talking about specifics of pay that is a line of questioning I really had a hard time with,” the Oscar winner told me exclusively last night at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. “So my remarks were in response to that but only that. Of course we should be paid the same as the boys. We want to stand alongside them.”
Winslet praised her fellow Oscar winner’s response as “entirely appropriate. It was a very difficult situation for her. Hopefully these discussions will continue to support the efforts that are being made all over the world for the right to equal pay in this field and all other industries. For my entire career, I’ve really stood for women’s rights and I will always remain entirely committed to empowering women and the right to equal pay is a fundamental part of that. Of course women should be paid the same as men. Of course they should. Of course I should.”
[From E! News]
I said at the time that her ?vulgar? comment was mostly about being British and not wanting to discuss money whatsoever, but I also thought (at the time) that Winslet was wrong to shut down the conversation and seemingly insult Jennifer Lawrence. If Winslet doesn?t want to talk about money, sure. Don?t talk about money. But don?t dismiss the conversation out of hand just because you?re uncomfortable.
Kate was also asked about her ?vulgar? comment when she sat down for an interview with CBS Sunday Morning (you can see the full video here). She discussed other things, of course, like how she was ?bullied,? how she was so brave to wear a brown wig for Steve Jobs, etc. But this answer about the vulgar question:
?What I think is vulgar is talking publicly about actual earning of money. Even as I?m saying it now, I?m feeling a bit sick in my mouth. I?m British, we don?t do that. Jennifer put it brilliantly; she did it so gracefully and graciously. What I object to, unfortunately, is the line of questioning that it almost gives journalists permission to open with, which I don?t like. I fully had a journalist say to me, ?Do you know if you got paid more or less than Michael Fassbender?? I don?t ever want to be asked that question. I certainly wouldn?t answer it. That?s what makes it difficult. Would it make it better if I told you that if I?m ever in a situation where I feel like there?s something unfair happening, that I always stand up for myself? Would that make you feel better??

If her answer sounds awkward and strangled, it?s because it was. You could feel her discomfort and props to the CBS journalist for not saying anything and letting Winslet talk herself into a circle. I mean, we get that Winslet (and other British people) think talking about money is vulgar. But Winslet is so stuck up her own ass she doesn?t get that not everything is about her and her feelings. She comes from a place of enormous privilege and instead of sticking up for women around the world (which Winslet insists she does), she makes it all about what journalists should and should not ask her, because she lives in a vulgar bubble of privilege, amirite?

| | Johnny Depp & D&G-clad Amber Heard at the PSIFF: drunk, lovely or both? | | Added 8 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Here are some photos of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp at the Palm Springs International Film Festival over the weekend. They attended the big opening gala, which is where Depp picked up an award, and Heard presented an award to Alicia Vikander. Amber?s dress is Dolce & Gabbana and I swear, this looks like at least two other dresses she?s worn in the past few months. Or maybe everything blends together with Amber ? she?s a very pretty woman, but I think her charisma-vacuum vibe causes me to not really remember her clothes. As for Depp?well, he looks three sheets to the wind in these photos. Even if he wasn?t drunk in these photos, he certainly carries that ?drunk? look with him all the time now.
As Depp was accepting his award at the PSIFF, he remembered to thank his wife, as they are just one month away from celebrating their one-year anniversary. Depp said: ?I also have to thank my wife Amber for putting up with me, for living with all these characters, which can’t be easy. It’s hard for me?it’s got to be hard for her.” As for Amber, she has a new interview with The Independent ? you can read the full piece here. She talks for a bit about The Danish Girl and transgender issues, but it was the other stuff I found interesting.
Moving to NYC & modeling: ?I thought I had died and gone to heaven. From that moment on I was different.? Modelling, however, held no interest for her, even from the beginning: ?I hated it.?
The lack of roles for women: ?I?m a woman… I get to giggle sometimes. In case you haven?t noticed, go see a movie right now and tell me what the majority of compelling speaking roles are.? The roles she?s offered are ?pedantic and over-played stereotypes?Because there are few parts, there?s fierce competition and anything that?s led by a woman is not finance-able. So those movies are typically under-financed and under-budgeted and under-made. Film-makers are 90 per cent male, so we don?t have a more balanced perspective from our storytellers. We?re way behind in this possibly progressive medium.?
Sexism in filmmaking: ?It takes not just actors and actresses noticing it. It takes audiences saying, ?I will show up to see a movie led by a female cast or one focused on the female life or elements of female perspective. It takes the studio system to be tired of this old, formulaic approach to making movies. They?ve got to be interested in changing ? the system of financing movies has to change.?
[From The Independent]
I?ve said this before, but there actually is a reason why Amber hasn?t managed to break out as a legitimate star: it?s because she?s really not all that talented, and she has the on-screen presence of a wet noodle. Is she beautiful? For sure. But she?s utterly forgettable on-screen. I?m just saying? in Amber?s case in particular, it?s not just sexism in Hollywood. It?s that producers would rather hire someone who can actually ACT.
