Aishwarya Rai, or Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, covers the new issue of Vogue India. I?ve written about the lovely Aishwarya before ? she?s sort of the Angelina Jolie of Bollywood, she?s been called one of the most beautiful women in the world, and she?s married to an equally famous Bollywood actor named Abhishek Bachchan. They had a baby girl in 2011, and Aishwarya was criticized for not losing the ?baby weight? fast enough, because people are mean and stupid.
I wanted to cover this because? BANGS. Aishwarya ?went away? for several years during and after her pregnancy, only making some paid appearances in Cannes on behalf of her beauty-campaign contracts. This Vogue India cover marks a ?comeback? of sorts. She?s 41 years old and ready to work again. And so we?re seeing a whole new Aishwarya. With BANGS. She?s still a beautiful woman, of course, but these bangs do absolutely nothing for her. She has a round face, and the bangs make her face look even rounder.
As for Aish?s big ?comeback,? this is what she has to say about it with Vogue India:
Comeback? What a strange word. Comebacks are for people who cashed in their cheques, switched off the bright lights, retired to the Bahamas, and then sheepishly snuck back in realising they still had a little gas in the tank for one more. Why, she never went away. “Yes, there was a maternity leave, just like any other working woman?in fact, I was working right up to my sixth month, with my various product endorsements and other stuff. There were no movies, obviously,” she says.
There were no movies, no, but we do remember seeing that exquisite partum glow on her cheeks as she tossed her hair for L’Oreal. “Yes, and the UNAIDS work carried on as well. They had approached me way back in 2001, and I had declined it then; there was too much going on at the time for me to do justice to it. I wanted to be more than just a pretty face issuing PSAs; I wanted to be hands on. Almost 12 years later, this seemed like the perfect time. Then there were the endless meetings to ideate new things, future movie roles, more and more brands?” she smiles, as if to reiterate, “What comeback?”
[From Vogue India]
I wonder if she will still have a thriving acting career now. Now that she?s a mother, now that she?s over 40, now that Bollywood changes by the moment. I have no doubt she will still work, but it might not be in Indian films. She will still launch beauty campaigns, she will still be invited to Cannes, she will still get lots of modeling contracts. But let?s see how her comeback plays out. In the meantime? NO MORE BANGS.

Audrina Patridge may have lost her spot as my #1 favorite hot nobody, but hey, it’s tough to stay fake famous once your reality show goes off the air, no matter how hot you are. But I’m glad to see Audrina’s still looking good here. And if you ask me, I’d say there’s still hope […]

I haven?t written about Britney Spears in a while. That?s not by design, it?s just that Britney has been relatively quiet for several months now. She started dating Charlie Ebersol last fall (around Halloween), and it seems to be going well. He?s not crazy-shady (although there are some whispers that he?s not 100% authentic), he comes from a good family, he?s got his own career and while Daddy Spears totally signed off on this relationship, it doesn?t feel like Daddy Spears is outright paying this guy to be with Britney. I?m including some photos of Britney and Charlie from her Instagram ? as you can see, Charlie is around her sons too. And all of a sudden, Jayden and Sean look so big!
Anyway, Britney spoke to Extra this week ? you can see the video here. She actually doesn?t seem too out-of-it. I think maybe her meds were adjusted? She seemed sharper than usual. She was asked about wearing an ?I Love Charlie? vest during her Vegas performance and what Charlie?s reaction was: ?He said, ?You?re the sweetest girlfriend in the whole world,’ he was really happy I did that? I?m very blessed to have him as a part of my life.? She was also asked if there was a chance she could head down the aisle with Charlie and she said ?You never know!? So there you go. I kind of think Britney is just in love with the idea of marrying someone, anyone, and maybe having a ?normal life.? Is Charlie that guy?
Meanwhile, Britney lost a clump of weave during one of her Vegas performances last week. Poor Brit-Brit.

Here are some photos of George Clooney inside the NYC gala for SeriousFun Children’s Network on Monday night. The theme of the night was a celebration of Paul Newman?s legacy. Amal Clooney did not attend, from what I can see. But George and Amal have moved to NYC for the duration of his new film, Money Monster, which will be directed by Jodie Foster. I think Amal will find work commutes from NYC a lot easier, don?t you? That being said, I?m actually sort of surprised by how much Amal has changed her schedule around to suit George?s work schedule. When he was in LA for work, she was in LA. When he wanted to vacation in Cabo twice in a month, she went along.
At this event, George got on stage and played Chairman of the Board, but no one minded because… hey, it’s for a good cause. He talked about how the money goes to the kids’ camps Paul Newman founded and Clooney even joked, “My wife is the smart one.” Go here to read more.
Meanwhile, George has just been named ?the most stylish man of all time.? Seriously? What about Cary Grant? This is the top ten, in descending order: Clooney, Sean Connery, Cary Grant, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Pierce Brosnan, Michael Jackson and LL Cool J. Damn, Kanye West is going to be SO MAD that he didn?t make this list. For what it?s worth, I don?t agree with this list at all. People gave too much favor to modern, living celebrities. And I?m sorry, but any list that includes Scarfy Depp and Brad Pitt?s weird hobo style is useless.

| | Jennifer Garner: I?m the room mom & Girl Scout leader, I 'Betty Crocker it up' | | Added 9 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Jennifer Garner is a busy lady. She’s about to get back to work and she’s thrilled about it after taking a lot of time off to be a stay-at-home mom. When Garner stays at home she also gives it her all. In a press conference for her upcoming movie, Danny Collins (we covered some other quotes she gave for the film yesterday), Garner said that she’s very involved in her daughters’ school and extracurricular activities. She said she’s been the room mom for Seraphina for two years in a row and also works as the Girl Scout leader for Violet. That’s some commitment. Here’s more, thanks to People:
On sharing parenting tips with Reese Witherspoon
If I run into Reese, she and I have so much to talk about. We?ll be on the street corner and just be like, ?What do you do about this, and how did you handle this? I?m so grateful for that very specific kind of friend.
On her morning routine with the kids
I make sure everyone has notes for their lunch box every day and [figure out] who?s having something special, and deciding who I read extra to [in the] morning.
She will check in on Ben soon
I?m going straight to New York from here, and then I?m going to visit Ben [on set in Atlanta to] make sure he?s good. It?s just what you do.
On volunteering at her daughters’ school
I?ve been the room mom for pre-school and kindergarten this year, and I?m the Girl Scout troop leader for third grade. When I?m home, I dive in, [and] I try to Betty Crocker it up as much as I can.
[From People]
Garner is one of three girls, she’s close to her family and she’s said in the past that her two sisters are very hands-on crafty moms. So I get why she’s so involved in her daughter’s school. I’m busy gossiping all day and have a ton of other stuff to do. It would be too much for me to work at my son’s school too. I do help my son with his homework and activities and I donate to the school. Plus I live in a small town and the PTA and school activities can be incredibly political. There are surely rewards to it, but you have to be a people pleaser to deal with some of the things that come up. We know Garner is a people pleaser. She makes that pretty clear. In comparison, Reese knows the cat is out of the bag and she doesn’t care as much at this point what we think of her. There’s a kind of power in that.
Also, I think Garner has the time to write notes to her kids and read to them because she’s probably not the one preparing their lunches or getting them ready. She’s an involved mom, she just has help. That also explains why she has time for all the activities.

Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie split up a while back, but they seemed to be genuinely working on their issues. Until Mike Comrie was caught blatantly offering random women money for sex. Then Hilary couldn?t file for divorce fast enough. Sources told Us Weekly that when Hilary heard about that incident, she ?realized Mike would never change? and that she needed to call it quits. So, with that knowledge, here?s Hilary?s brave, fearless single-girl Cosmo cover. After reading these quotes? she?s been ready to divorce him for a while.
On her marriage & divorce with Mike Comrie: “Mike and I were very in love when we met. We both really wanted to get married. I’d been working since the age of 11 or 12, so making that choice at a young age seemed right for me. Maybe it wasn’t, but we spent the majority of our time together really happy. It wasn’t working well enough to stay together, but there was still a lot of love involved. It was just a slow set-in of us not being the match that we used to be. I’m lucky for the person he is and I am and how we decided to handle this.”
On her view of marriage, post-divorce: “I don’t want to sound bitter because I’m definitely not, but I don’t know if people are meant to be together forever. Things happen over a long relationship that you can’t always fight. A marriage of 20 years, the accomplishment of that must feel really great, but there are also huge sacrifices. I just always want to fight for happiness.”
On Aaron Carter’s recent declarations of love for Duff on Twitter: “Him reaching out through social media? It’s ridiculous! But then people do it all the time, like Chris Brown and Karrueche? Come on, guys. Keep it between text messages.”
Her Hollywood crush: “Charlie Hunnam.?
[From Cosmo]
Girl, Charlie Hunnam is everyone?s crush!!! Get in line! As for the other stuff? I don?t mean this in a rude or ?talk to the hand? way, but Hilary?s comments about love and marriage sound pretty typical of a woman getting out of a marriage. I appreciate the fact that she?s not doing a bigger ?WOE IS ME? routine, but pretty much every woman getting out of a marriage wonders if we?re are really meant to couple up for the rest of our lives.

| | Rita Ora: Sam Taylor Johnson talked me into auditioning for 'FSOG' | | Added 9 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Rita Ora covers the April issue of InStyle UK in an Asian-inspired spread with lots of fabulous prints and relevant architecture lurking in the background. She’s promoting her role as Christian Grey’s sister in 50 Shades. Rita’s hustled plenty for this film, which seems unfair since she only snagged less than a minute of screentime. Critics called her out on the “blink and you’ll miss it” role, and Rita grew indignant. She’s already signed on for two sequels and promises her role will grow more substantial. If I were Rita, I’d be thrilled to skip out on this mess. She can still include the film in her repertoire, and Rita has a firm supporter in Harvey Weinstein. She may be set for the next few years no matter what. Here are some InStyle excerpts:
Her career setbacks:“I’ve been told ‘no’ so many times in my career. It doesn’t mean it’s over … I can remember every single ‘no’ I’ve been told in my life. They do not leave my brain. But they build you up.”
On snagging the 50 Shades role: “I said I’d love to involved as I was such a fan of the book. And then Sam said, ‘Well, why don’t you audition?’ And I said, ‘Sure … I’ve got a few song ideas, I could send them over…’ and she said, ‘No, why don’t you audition for the movie?’ And I was like, ‘What?, I’ve done a bit of acting, but honestly didn’t expect to be put into that role. I thought, what have I got to lose? I auditioned like everybody else — there were a lot of other people in the frame. I didn’t get any special treatment. I perfected my American accent, one thing led to another, and I got it.”
She rejected The Voice: “I said no straight away. I love the show but I wanted to focus on my second album. And then I spoke to will.I.am and he said “Listen, if you don’t do it, I won’t do it.’”
[From InStyle UK]
I’ve said this before — Rita’s musical appeal evades my sensibilities, but her unparallelled hustle works wonders. She plays a good game, which may only have temporary results, but it’s still an admirable haul. I don’t think anyone can judge her acting prowess by four lines in 50 Shades, but we’ll see how she fares in the coming years. At this point, producers could slip anyone into the cast slots and make it work.
FYI, here’s Rita in a silly blue fur coat in London last weekend. Rita attended the same event as Kim Kardashian, they both wore the same Pink latex dress. No wonder Rita kept her coat on outside the venue.

I?ve got some good news and some bad news. Good news: Michelle Williams has finally grown out her pixie after many, many months of awkwardness. That?s the thing about pixie cuts: they are a bitch to grow out. Bad news: Michelle really seems to want to make the white-blonde color happen. And I?m not in love with it. Overall though, I?d say that she looks really good in this Elle UK editorial for the April cover. But I would like to see her soften her blonde. Or even go brunette (she looked nice as a brunette). Michelle is wearing Louis Vuitton in every shot of this editorial too ? she?s the current face of LV, so there you go. Anyway, here are some excerpts from Michelle?s interview:
Her work-life-mom balance: ?You truly never know what?s going to happen. And to have things go wrong, or to make mistakes in real time and then be able to assimilate whatever is different is a tremendous feeling. To find in those moments that one doesn?t stop, or perish, or run away, but that you can rely on yourself to process things and keep going.?
She?s exhausted: ?I feel like I?m so good at raising a kid when I?m not working. I don?t forget anything. I?ve got everything covered. It?s a real luxury to have a moment when I?m not scrambling. I feel like most of my life, I?m trying to do two things at once, both to the best of my abilities. So that leaves me feeling pretty exhausted. I?m the person who falls asleep all the time. You invite me over for dinner or to a party, and there?s a whole scrapbook of pictures of me napping. I?ve even been given a nickname because of my snoring.?
She doesn?t do Twitter, but she reads poetry: ‘I love poetry because it?s like a shot, like an attack, like a dose. And for a person who doesn?t have very much free time, it does its work very quickly. So I read poems on my phone when I wake up in the morning. It opens you up for the rest of the day, and suddenly your life becomes a little more observed. And when it becomes more observed, it can?t help but start to become more beautiful.?
[From Elle UK]
I could not read poetry as soon as I woke up. But then again, I read Page Six as soon as I wake up (gossip blogging is totes glamorous). But I feel her when she says ?it?s like a shot, like an attack, like a dose?? I?m reading and writing all day for work. When I?m reading for fun, most days I need something simple, which is why I go with magazines or essay collections or short stories. I’m done with something in 20 minutes, which is perfect for me.
As for the rest of it? I feel like we?ve been hearing a lot less about Michelle?s personal life in the past two years or so. There was a marked decrease as soon as she was done with Jason Segel. She dated an artist named Dustin Yellin for a year, but they broke up last May and from what I can see, she?s been pretty much single since. I?d like her to find someone, but I always get the feeling (from her interviews) that she lives with the ghost, you know?
