Ellen Barkin is trying to correct the record about her divorce to billionaire Ron Perelman. The high-profile New York couple broke up in 2006 - allegedly, Barkin came home one day from shopping and found all of her clothes packed up in boxes and sitting outside the apartment with changed locks. But that was just the rumor at the time.
The other rumors were that Barkin either got something in the neighborhood of a $60 million divorce settlement, or that she got next to nothing because of a pre-nup. The only thing that?s certain is that Barkin very publicly put all of her jewelry up for auction at Christie?s. Most of the pieces were given to her by Perelman, and auction ended up as one of the most successful private collections ever offered. Barkin ended up pocketing in the neighborhood of $20 million dollars.
Barkin gave an interview to the New York Daily News about her divorce, and her new pilot for HBO - it?s a show about ?a sassy blond divorcing a powerful husband?. But the ?sassy blond? doesn?t get even - the husband in the show dies in the pilot:
…Ellen Barkin is pressing ahead with her HBO pilot about a sassy blond divorcing a powerful husband. But Barkin and her co-producers have decided to kill off her TV husband in the first episode.
?The bastard dies before she can divorce him,? says writer-producer Shauna Cross.
You can bet Perelman, or his lawyers, will still tune in to see if there are any scenes reminiscent of his nasty 2006 split with Barkin. But Barkin swears she?s not a person driven by revenge. Many applauded her when she auctioned off all the jewelry Perelman had given her (for $20.3 million).
?Everyone thought it was a big bleep-you [to Ron],? she tells us. ?That?s bull?. It was a purely practical decision. I sold them so I ? and my children and my mother ? would be taken care of. I sold the jewelry because I?d been out of the movie business for seven years. I was 52. There was a good chance I would never get my spot back again.?
What about the $60 million she?s said to have scored in their divorce settlment?
?It?s a myth,? she says.
So does Perelman understand the auction wasn?t a dis?
?I have no idea. I have no communication with that human being at all. Outside of through our lawyers.?
During her marriage to Perelman, she says, ?I wasn?t free to work.? And yet six weeks after she won her freedom, she found herself crying one day.
?[Producer] Jerry Weintraub called. He said, ?How are you feeling?? I said, ?Not very good.? He said, ?You?re going to feel a whole lot better in 60 seconds.? He told me about ?Ocean?s 13.? I couldn?t have asked for a better way to say I?m back in the game.?
To her astonishment, the small caper part led to dozens of other offers. ?People seemed to say, ?Wow, we haven?t seen her in a while,?? says Barkin, who?s also developing films with her brother, George.
And is there any guy in her life now? Turning on her shapely calf, she shot us one of her signature winks.
?Sorry, I?m not talking.?
From The New York Daily News
I tend to believe that Barkin walked away from the marriage with very little money - probably only a small cash settlement and her jewels, which is why she sold everything she had. The HBO show sounds interesting, but a lot will depend on the writing. It sounds a little bit like a more graphic version of ?The Starter Wife?, and that show was horrible, and just got cancelled. I?m glad she?s getting work, but she was just horrible in Ocean?s Thirteen. She?s better when she plays badass rather than demure or ditzy.

Sophia Bush is always hotter than I remember.

Sophia was at the Herve Leger Fall 2009 fashion show, which to me means nothing, but to many is probably something spectacular. Her in that dress is what I find spectacular! Sophia Bush seems to look amazing in whatever she wears!

Sienna Miller is complaining about the lack of ?sisterhood? she?s experienced from ?bitchy? women. The drama surrounding Sienna Miller is well-documented (even, dare I say, over-documented), the latest being some mutterings that Sienna?s latest film, Hippie Hippie Shake, is ?unreleasable?.
Sienna gave an interview to Style Magazine, and The Daily Mail has some quotes. Sienna says that that she ?experienced the judgment of women in the past year? and that ?There’s no sisterhood.? Boohoo. Can Sienna Miller be a hellraising Other Woman while still trying to be the Sympathetic Victim? Probably not:
Sienna Miller has admitted being “at war” with other women over the way they judge her.
The Factory Girl star ? who caused controversy by stepping out with married Balthazar Getty ? said: “I’ve been at war, without a doubt. I’ve really experienced the judgment of women in the past year.”
In an interview with Style Magazine the 27-year-old actress added: “We say we want to be equal, but men don’t sit around bitching at each other. There’s no sisterhood.”
Her comments could be seen as reference to her relationship with the oil heir, who insisted he was already separated from his wife when he dated Sienna.
From The Daily Mirror
Look, I don?t really care what Sienna does or who she sleeps with. In the whole ?homewrecking? scandal with Balthazar Getty, I tended to think the blame should be placed on Balthy?s shoulders. He was the married one, not Sienna. But if Sienna is going to be the hellraising Other Woman, just stick to it. Don?t complain. Don?t whine. Just own it.
What bothers me is that Sienna actually has a point, albeit one lost in the cacophony of whines. Sienna got a lot of the blame in the Balthy situation - people (women) were all too happy to blame Sienna. It?s easier to blame the woman, I suppose. I have no idea why. Perhaps there is no sisterhood. Whine.
Sienna Miller is shown at the Elle Style Awards on 2/9/09 and with Keira Knightley on 6/18/08 at the Edinburgh Film Festival. Credit: PRPhotos.

Model turned boxer Sarah Blewden of Dorset England has been banned from boxing not because of her upper cut, but because of enlarged upper cups. Yep, they have banned the boxer because of her breast implants. Sarah Blewden, 25, told the press that boxing officials will no longer allow her to fight because they fear repeated blows to the chests would ruin her breast implants and ?damage her breast tissue.?
Sarah actually started boxing two years ago as a way to keep in shape for her growing modeling career, but found that she had a real talent for the sport, so she applied to the Amateur Boxing Association. When the Association found out she had the implant surgery, officials denied her request to fight.

Kate Moss pretends to be a ninja
Following weeks of speculation, News of the World confirms that Kate Moss is pregnant with her second child. The father being Jamie Hince. Already three months pregnant, Moss is believed to be due in August and is expected to officially announce the pregnancy soon.
Last night, a source close to the model said: ?It?s true. Kate is pregnant. She?s overjoyed at the news.
?She?s past the 12-week stage so she?s telling more and more people. Her friends are delighted for her.?
Three months pregnant? That can’t be right. Just last month Kate seemed to be stumbling out of clubs drunk. Her baby is probably floating in a mixture of 50% alcohol, 50% coke right now. At this rate, the kid’s going to come out already bent over a mirror with a rolled up twenty in its hand and a bottle of JD in the other. It’ll look more like Amy Winehouse’s long lost twin than a newborn.

The rumor-mill is working overtime in Britain - the gossip is that Jake Gyllenhaal has decided to propose (or has already proposed) to Reese Witherspoon during an exotic Egyptian getaway. I buy that Jake took (or will take) Reese on a romantic trip, but I?m not buying the engagement until I read it in People. There has been a Reese-Jake engagement watch before, and Reese has even publicly claimed that she?s not sure if she?ll ever re-marry. Still, Jake?s holiday plans do seem really sweet.
According to the British travel agency with whom Jake made the arrangements, Jake organized a private jet to take Reese to the pyramids, the Luxor and a private viewing of a newly-discovered mummy. Yikes, maybe it?s not so romantic? A mummy doesn?t really say ?marry me?. The Sunday Telegraph has more:
While Reese Witherspoon no doubt enjoyed a Valentine’s gift or two from Jake Gyllenhaal, the Hollywood actress can look forward to an even more romantic treat.
[The] couple, who did not confirm that they were a couple until November, are to be taken on a romantic holiday to Egypt amid rumours that Gyllenhaal may be planning to propose.
“I was asked to organise the trip for Reese Witherspoon and her boyfriend,” said Geoffrey Kent, the founder of Abercrombie & Kent, at the opening of the company’s private travel office at Harrods. “They will go everywhere by private jet and cram as much as possible in. That means Luxor, the Pyramids and possibly a private viewing of the newly discovered Saqqara mummy. They are going to stay in the best hotels and the idea is that it will be quite an experience.”
Gyllenhaal, 28, lived in Notting Hill with Miss Witherspoon, 32, while filming Prince of Persia.
From The Sunday Telegraph
Last week, an interview with Reese came out in Parents magazine, and Reese admitted that her kids think she?s totally embarrassing. I pointed out that not many ?embarrassing? moms get to do the dirty with Jake Gyllenhaal. It seems like this Egypt trip might be something more than just romance - think about it, wouldn?t little kids love to see the pyramids? Won?t Deacon love to see a mummy? Perhaps Jake planned a family vacation, not a romantic one.

Did you think that Madonna?s film career sank with that boat in Swept Away? Well, you were wrong. Madge still wants acceptance as an actress, and to get that acceptance, Madge is bound and determined to play the most hated American in England. Such a stretch, right? No, Madonna wants to play the American divorcee Wallis Simpson, who married King Edward VIII. In the end, the engagement and marriage led King Edward to abdicate, leading to King George VI (and later, his daughter, Queen Elizabeth) to reign. The Daily Telegraph has more on Madonna?s ?obsession? with the role she was born to play:
The pop singer, 50, is said to have become fascinated with the story of the American socialite who caused a constitutional crisis.
Now she intends to portray her in a film which will tell the story of how Edward gave up his position as the King of England after less than a year, so he could marry the twice-divorced Mrs Simpson in 1936.
Madonna is said to see similarities between herself and Mrs Simpson, who later became the Duchess of Windsor, as they are both Americans who moved to Britain and caused a “stir” with their relationships.
According to sources, Madonna, who divorced British film director Guy Ritchie last year, covered a wall of her London house with articles about Wallis Simpson and even wrote to the Queen to ask permission to make the film.
A source told The Sun: “Madonna sees Wallis Simpson as her next big film project. She is as passionate about it as she was about playing Eva Peron in Evita.
“Madonna said she is fascinated with this American commoner who refused to conform or offer explanations for her tangled love life.
“It was all systems go when until the divorce, when everything was put on the back-burner. When things in her life settle down this year, she’s keen to get things going again.”
From The Daily Telegraph
The story of King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson is very interesting, and I?m genuinely surprised it hasn?t been made into a major film. But Madonna as Wallis Simpson? Uh, no. Please. Get a real actress.
In other Madonna news, the latest rumor about her and Jesus Luz is that it?s all some sort of scam. Madonna wanted to be seen as attractive and desirable, and Jesus wanted a career boost. Apparently all of the photo-ops at the Kabbalah Center are just to make Guy Ritchie jealous? I?m chuckling at that one. Does anyone think that Guy Ritchie looks at current photos of Madonna and feel anything other relief?
Madonna’s relationship with Brazilian male model Jesus is nothing but a desperate attention-seeking exercise, insiders have revealed.
Sources close to the singer claim she is using one of her typical publicity ploys to drum up interest in her tour. The carefully orchestrated photos are also apparently designed to wind up ex Guy Ritchie ? although he is not taking the bait.
A source alleged: “It’s a classic Madge publicity stunt but suits both parties well. Despite her advancing years, she looks like she’s still got what it takes to pull a 22-year-old. And Jesus is getting a boost of publicity as well. Everyone’s a winner.”
The pair were introduced by celebrity snapper Steven Klein and Madonna, 50, asked Jesus to join her on tour in Sao Paulo. The Material Girl also took him to the Kabbalah centre in New York at the weekend with children Lourdes and David Banda.
A source added: “Guy saw the pictures of her and Jesus together and laughed out loud. He sees it as another publicity exercise. Taking Jesus to Kaballah is a masterstroke as she always historically introduces her lovers to the religion.?
“It’s just Madonna for you. She loves being the centre of attention. You would have thought she’d grown tired of it by now.”
Sources close to the singer also say the “relationship” has annoyed baseball star Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez, who she was rumoured to have been seeing.
From The Daily Mirror
Honestly, I bought the A-Rod relationship as a sham, but I would completely buy Madonna and Jesus as some sort of realistic romantic liaison. Jesus is just so young and naive! I can see him ?falling for? Madonna, briefly. And really, can Jesus Luz expect that big of a career boost just by appearing with Madonna for a few weeks?

French news magazine Le Point reports that Salma Hayek and her baby’s daddy, French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault and owner of Le Point, were wed in central Paris on Saturday. People points out that they called off their engagement last July but, as it often does, two trips to Paris helped rekindle the romance.
Aww. Fairy tales do come true. It must have been tough for these two to overcome their differences. What with Salma being a millionaire and Francois being a billionaire. One eats with a golden spoon and the other has someone else feed them with a golden spoon. They’re from two different worlds really.

The Times is reporting that Salma Hayek allegedly married on Saturday in Paris:
Mexican-born actress Salma Hayek has married French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault, reports the online edition of the weekly Le Point reported.
According to the report, the 42-year old Hayek, who is a naturalised US citizen, and Pinault, 46, were married on Valentines Day in the city hall of the Sixth Arrondissement in central Paris.
The news, if confirmed, comes as something of a surprise, because the star of the films Frida and Bandidas and Pinault had announced the end of their engagement in July last year.
On September 21, 2007, while engaged to Pinault, Hayek gave birth to her first child, Valentina Paloma Pinault, in Los Angeles.
Pinault is CEO of the luxury giant PPR and the son of one of France?s richest men, Francois Pinault, whose fortune has been estimated at $16.9 billion by the 2008 Forbes List of Billionaires. He also owns the publication Le Point, which broke the story
I’d love to get video footage of those two fighting. You’d have Salma shrieking away in Spanish, possibly throwing bric-a-brac at Pinault’s follicly-challenged head, and him cursing at her in French, hand on hip and gesticulating into the air with the other hand.
Now, if love can’t conquer all the turmoil their relationship has been through, then there’s two things that has been proven time and time again to do the trick: a fabulous rack and big bucks! Viva la romance!

Salma Hayek and the father of her baby, billionaire Franois-Henri Pinault, announced last summer that they were ending their engagement. They’ve been seen out together since, but Pinault was also photographed making out with another woman late last summer and it was thought that they were remaining friendly for the sake of their daughter, Valentina Paloma, one and a half.
Salma told David Letterman during an appearance on the Late Show in mid January that she didn’t know when she would marry Pinault, and was pretty vague about it. When asked “Is there going to be a wedding?” she answered “I don?t know, maybe, but then again, maybe not.?
After a whirlwind on-again romance, Pinault and Hayek have unexpectedly tied the knot. The two were married on Valentine’s Day in Paris.
Salma Hayek has married French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault, Monday’s online edition of the weekly French newsmagazine Le Point reports.
Hayek, 42, and Pinault, 46, were married on Saturday ? St. Valentine’s Day ? in the City Hall of the Sixth Arrondissement in central Paris, according to the publication, which is owned by the Pinault family.
Sixth Arrondissement Mayor Jean-Pierre Lecoq subsequently confirmed the report to the French news agency Agence France-Presse.
There had been recent reports that the couple ? whose daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault, was born in Los Angeles in September 2007 ? had reunited after they had called off their marital engagement in July 2008.
The two had originally announced their engagement in March 2007.
Friends of the couple tell PEOPLE that a Paris trip in September (when Hayek attended the Balenciaga fashion show) and another in November helped rekindle the pair’s relationship. Adds a source, they were “very evidently in love with each other, very affectionate in public” together at the Dubai Film Festival in December.
Only last week, Hayek, who’s been appearing on NBC’s 30 Rock, told TV host Rachael Ray that when she kisses Alec Baldwin on the show, “I keep telling Francois, ‘I imagine I was kissing you.’ ”
Pinault is CEO of the luxury giant PPR and the son of one of France’s richest men, Francois Pinault, whose fortune last year was estimated to be $16.9 billion by Forbes magazine.

Paris Hilton’s jilted boyfriend may have found love in the arms of less flighty and more talented woman. He was seen out with singer Katy Perry getting cosy on Valentine’s day.
Earlier in the night she may have called it “the horror that is Valentine’s Day,” but Katy Perry appears to have been struck by cupid’s arrow ? which also seems to have hit Paris Hilton’s ex, Benji Madden.
Following her Valentine’s show at Hard Rock Hotel’s Wasted Space, Perry, 24, and Madden, 29, headed to Lavo ? where the two conspicuously cuddled throughout the night, later prompting one observer to sense “some chemistry there.”
Madden, in town to deejay, even danced for Perry during several songs ? and at those rare times when their hands weren’t on each other’s legs.
[From People.com]
How much do you want to bet Paris will find out and try to get Benji to go back to her just out of jealousy? It seems like she would do.
I have a feeling Perry is more Madden’s speed and that they have much more in common. She was raised by an ultra religious family including a dad who was an Evangelical pastor. Madden and his twin Benji also had a strict Christian upbringing. They’re both musicians with promising careers and seem like they’re looking for longer term relationships, given their respective dating histories.
What’s more is that both Perry and Madden became single around the same time last year. Perry broke up with her longterm boyfriend, Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy in December while Benji and Paris called it quits in November. They had a couple of months to be single and now they’re looking for something more lasting.
I hope these two kids are having fun together and part of me is really rooting for them. Despite his incredibly poor judgment in sticking with Paris for so long I kind of like Benji. It was sweet how he would speak so fondly to the press about Paris and he definitely seemed like the more mature and devoted party in that relationship. Maybe now he’s found a woman who will appreciate him and won’t step on his feelings.

| | Organized backlash against Kate Winslet for 'Holocaust denial' film | | Added 15 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Perhaps the backlash against The Reader started months ago, and I simply wasn?t paying attention. But in the past few weeks, The Reader backlash has reached a fever-pitch. The first major piece criticizing The Reader that I?ve seen came out last week on Slate.com. It was written by Ron Rosenbaum, a prominent scholar of such historical tombs as Explaining Hitler, a book about Adolf Hitler?s propaganda machine and why it worked on the German people.
Just a sidenote: I love Slate, but Rosenbaum is one of my least favorite columnists on that site. He?s very sanctimonious, he tends towards sweeping generalizations and factual discrepancies and at times he can seem like a raving wingnut. He?s brilliant, but he needs a really good editor and fact-checker.
Rosenbaum?s piece, called ?Don?t give an Oscar to The Reader? (a bit on the nose, Ron), is very long, so I?m just going to include some of the highlights. His basic argument is that The Reader glorifies the Nazis and the German people who stood by and did nothing, and that the character Kate Winslet plays never really repents for being a mass murderer. He sees the film as part of a new era of ?Nazi porn? (his words) and that the film represents the new era of Holocaust denial. One of Rosenbaum?s best points, in my opinion, is that the film tries too hard to create sympathy and empathy for Hanna (Winslet), and that the film should have stuck closer to the book in it?s portrayal of the complicated morality and guilt at play. Here are some of the highlights:
A deeply depressing indication of how the film misreads the Holocaust can be found in a recent New York Times report on the state of the Oscar race. The paper gave disproportionate attention to The Reader by featuring a wistful-looking still of Kate Winslet above the headline “Films About Personal Triumphs Resonate With Viewers During Awards Season.”
What, exactly, was the Kate Winslet character’s “personal triumph”? While in prison for participation in an act of mass murder that was particularly gruesome and personal, given the generally impersonal extermination process?as a death camp guard, she helped ensure 300 Jewish women locked in a burning church would die in the fire?she taught herself to read! What a heartwarming fable about the wonders of literacy and its ability to improve the life of an Auschwitz mass murderer!
I’ve argued that most of the fictionalized efforts [of Holocaust films] either exhibit a false redemptiveness or an offensive sexual exploitiveness?what some critics have called “Nazi porn.” But in recent years, a new mode of misconstrual has prevailed?the desire to exculpate the German people of guilt for the crimes of the Hitler era. I spoke recently with Mark Weitzman, the head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s New York office, who went so far as to say that The Reader was a symptom of a kind of “Holocaust revisionism,” which used to be the euphemistic term for Holocaust denial.
In this repellent form of revisionism, most Germans (you know, the ones who helped bring Hitler to power, who enthusiastically joined in his hysterical Jew-hatred and his pogroms, who supported his mass deportations “to the East”) were somehow ignorant of the extermination of the Jews going on “in the East.” They presumably noticed the disappearance of the Jews from their midst (since they eagerly stole their apartments and everything valuable the Jews were forced to leave behind). I once confronted a spokesman for the German Consulate on a panel in New York who was pushing a version of this line; he’d referred to a recent poll that purported to show that the majority of Germans alive at the time of the extermination had?surprise!?no knowledge of it.
“What did they think?” I asked him. “The Jews all decided to go on vacation and forgot to come home?”
[One] of the most damning documents I uncovered in researching my book Explaining Hitler was a revelation that appeared in a Munich anti-Hitler newspaper, the Mnchener Post, on Dec. 9, 1931. It had been lost to history until I found it in the basement of a state archive. The courageous reporters of the social-democratic paper had gotten hold of a secret Nazi Party plan for the disposition of the Jews that first used what was to become the widespread euphemism for extermination: “Final Solution” (Endlssung), a word that left little doubt over the mass murder it euphemized. [It?s] clear Germans could have known as early as 1931 (or 1926 if they’d bothered to read Mein Kampf).
They could have known if they’d read about the legal dehumanization of Jews in the Nuremberg laws of 1935 or the state-sponsored pogroms after Kristallnacht in 1938. And if they happened to be illiterate as in The Reader… they could have heard it from Hitler’s mouth in his infamous 1939 radio broadcast to Germany and the world, threatening extermination of the Jews if war started. You had to be deaf, dumb, and blind, not merely illiterate, to miss what Kate Winslet’s character seems to have missed (while serving as a guard at Auschwitz!). You’d have to be exceedingly stupid. As dumb as the Oscar voters who nominated The Reader because it was a “Holocaust film.”
But that’s what The Reader is about: the supposedly difficult struggle with this slowly dawning postwar awareness. As Cynthia Ozick put it in her essay: “After the war, when she is brought to trial, the narrator ['Michael Berg'] acknowledges that she is guilty of despicable crimes?but he also believes that her illiteracy must mitigate her guilt. Had she been able to read, she would have been a factory worker, not an agent of murder. Her crimes are illiteracy’s accident. Illiteracy is her exculpation.”
Lack of reading skills is more disgraceful than listening in bovine silence to the screams of 300 people as they are burned to death behind the locked doors of a church you’re guarding to prevent them from escaping the flames. Which is what Hanna did, although, of course, it’s not shown in the film. As I learned from the director at a screening of The Reader, the scene was omitted because it might have “unbalanced” our view of Hanna, given too much weight to the mass murder she committed, as opposed to her lack of reading skills. Made it more difficult to develop empathy for her, although it’s never explained why it’s important that we should.
That’s the metaphoric thrust of the Kate Winslet character’s “illiteracy”: She’s a stand-in for the German people and their supposed inability to “read” the signs that mass murder was being done in their name, by their fellow citizens. To which one can only say: What a crock! Or if Hollywood has its way: Here’s your Oscar.
The nudity…gives new meaning to the word gratuitous. [It] was a manipulative tool used to create intimacy with and thus empathy for an unrepentant mass murderer.
From Slate - Ron Rosenbaum?s ?Don?t give an Oscar to The Reader?
Even before this controversy, there was little chance that The Reader or director Stephen Daldry would win Oscars, but The Reader?s executive producer, Harvey Weinstein, has been waging a tough and expensive campaign for Kate Winslet as Best Actress. Ron Rosenbaum?s column is one piece of an organized backlash against the film, and the Rosenbaum piece is being distributed around Academy voters in the hopes of destroying Winslet?s chance at an Oscar. The Sunday Telegraph has a piece out about the backlash, and how Academy voters are being encouraged to vote for Meryl Streep in Doubt.
I adore Kate Winslet, and I tend to think she?s due an Oscar - this is her sixth nomination, with no wins. She?s one of the best actresses working today, but I have to admit, this might not be her year, again. Meryl Streep?s performance in Doubt was flawless and that film was much less controversial. Considering it?s been 25 years since Meryl last won an Oscar, I have to say that she?s due as well.

| | Latest Sienna Miller film called 'unreleasable' | | Added 15 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Sienna Miller can?t catch a break. Following her ?homewrecking? of Balthazar Getty?s marriage, Sienna?s career has taken several major hits, and the girl?s been smacked around in the press for assorted reasons.
First, there were some rumors that Sienna?s part in G.I. Joe was getting dramatically slashed. Then came word that Sienna either got fired or she quit the production of Nottingham, the latest Robin Hood film. After that little incident, there was some back and forth about how ?thin? and ?young? Sienna looked compared to the bloated and older Russell Crowe, but I?ve always thought that was just Sienna?s publicity team trying to help her save face. After several weeks of back and forth with actresses, it looks like Cate Blanchett got the Maid Marian role, and one of the other actors even commented that Cate would bring some much needed ?class? to the production.
Now there?s word from some ?sources? that one of the other films Sienna has already filmed, Hippie Hippie Shake, has serious problems. Hippie was due to come out this year, but one source close to the production called the film ?unreleasable?. The Telegraph has more:
Since Sienna Miller was dropped last month from Sir Ridley Scott’s forthcoming Robin Hood film, Nottingham, she seems to be on a run of bad luck.
First, the 27-year-old actress was beaten to the role of Hester Worsley in a big-screen adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s A Woman of No Importance by Amanda Seyfried, the star of Mamma Mia!
Now, there is growing speculation about the fate of Hippie Hippie Shake, a comedy drama about the Sixties counterculture magazine Oz in which Sienna stars.
A spokesman for the film, for which no release date has been scheduled, is keen to play down claims that a prominent member of the production team has described it as “unreleasable in its present state”.
The spokesman says: “Someone may have said that, but it is not one of the producers. The film is testing really well.”
From The Sunday Telegraph
I doubt the film is testing that well, but Hippie will still probably be released on schedule. My prediction for the critical and box office reaction: an unequivocal yawn. The knives really are out for Sienna, and it?s not all coming from ?insiders? in Hollywood. As the parts keep shrinking, or going to other, better actresses, perhaps Sienna will take a step back and re-evaluate her career. Or maybe she?ll just grab another married man.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson were seen arguing on the street early Saturday morning in NY after attending a party for Ronson’s sister, fashion designer Charlotte. The two looked perfectly healthy, if a bit angry. Later that day, Samantha canceled a scheduled Valentine’s day gig in Florida, with the excuse that both she and Lindsay had the flu. The event planners were left in the lurch after heavily promoting their appearance:
Lindsay Lohan and DJ gal pal Samantha Ronson canceled a Valentine’s Day gig in South Florida, saying they are too sick to travel.
They were scheduled to host and spin at Passions, a late-night club connected to Hollywood, Florida’s Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
“We really feel bad, and I work sick when I can, but unfortunately I couldn’t drive to Miami, so I’m stuck in New York City with doctor’s orders not to fly,” Ronson tells PEOPLE. “Any reports otherwise are false and unfair.”
“Lindsay and Samantha stayed out late last night in New York City, and are not feeling well,” Amanda Senoff, director of marketing for Passions, tells PEOPLE. “A doctor said Sam was too sick with the flu to travel and Lindsay is also feeling sick. So they rescheduled for March 7.”
A source close to Ronson tells PEOPLE, “They are both sick with ear infections. Sam needs her ears, and flying with an ear infection is a risk that she can’t really afford to take.”
The situation leaves Passions, which was paying big bucks for the popular pair to entertain, without a headline DJ and host for the combined Valentine’s night/President’s Day weekend, the busiest time of the year for south Florida tourism.
[From People]
It’s possible this is true that Sam is sick, but it looks bad for Ronson’s career either way because she was just seen out the night before. Lindsay attended a store opening yesterday and was photographed out shopping and going to lunch with a friend in New York, the day after she claimed to be sick. What are Lohan and Ronson going to do for cash if they can’t charge big bucks to show up at clubs? The nightclubs are going to stop hiring them if they keep flaking out like this.
Meanwhile Lindsay’s mother’s Long Island home could be auctioned off to the highest bidder next week. Dina Lohan has failed to pay over $11,485.74 she owes in property taxes and the local paper has announced that her home will be offered up to the highest bidder.
In today’s economy, buying a tax lien off of a small Long Island town doesn’t sound like the shrewdest of investments. But if that’s your thing, perhaps you’d like to purchase Dina Lohan’s?
According to a public notice that ran today in the Merrick Life newspaper, unless DiLo forks over the $11,485.74 she owes Nassau County in taxes by tomorrow, the tax lien placed against her home will go up for auction next week. Should you choose to purchase the lien, you can collect 10% interest on one of the most famous mothers in Hollywood.
[From TMZ]
It seems like Dina Lohan should have been able to afford $11k in property taxes, but who knows how she spends her money or what other debts she has. Her daughter certainly knows how to blow through cash and she must have learned it somewhere. It’s too bad Lindsay’s fall back career as a hanger-on to a celebrity DJ isn’t working out that well or maybe she would be able to help her mother out.

Last week photos came out that showed Kate Moss looking more pregnant than ever. The normally stick thin supermodel first sparked pregnancy rumors in early January. She was photographed rubbing her lower stomach and smoking a cigarette while on vacation in Thailand with her boyfriend, musician Jamie Hince. Moss was seen out again at dinner in London last week and it really looked like she was pregnant and not just experiencing some mild bloating. She was also seen smoking on January 30, the photos are below, so maybe she’s not pregnant, in denial that she’s pregnant or just isn’t ready to give up a bad habit for the sake of her baby. Moss was also seen smoking while pregnant with her first child, Lila Grace, now six.
Some commenters on The Daily Mail’s website said at the time that these photos weren’t strong enough evidence that Moss was pregnant, and that she just had experienced some minor weight gain or bloating. Although she really looks pregnant to me, it’s hard to tell from some angles. I decided to pass on the pictures and didn’t want to jump to conclusions.
Now News of The World claims she’s three months pregnant and has been breaking the news to friends:
The supermodel is now past the crucial three-month stage, with the baby believed to be due at the end of August.
Kate. 35, is expected to formally announce the pregnancy soon?ending weeks of speculation.
She has already broken the news to close pals, who have been sworn to secrecy.
Kate and rocker boyfriend Jamie Hince are said to be thrilled.
The catwalk queen already has a six-year-old daughter Lila Grace from her relationship with magazine publisher Jefferson Hack.
But she can?t wait to be a mum again.
Rumours have been rife after Kate curbed her party lifestyle and was snapped at Movida nightclub this week showing a bump.
When she started to let her hair down, Kills guitarist Jamie was overheard telling her to ?calm down, especially in your state?.
Last night, a source close to the model said: ?It?s true. Kate is pregnant. She?s overjoyed at the news.
?She?s past the 12-week stage so she?s telling more and more people. Her friends are delighted for her.?
[From News Of The World]
That doesn’t mean it’s true and they could be relying on the same photos the rest of us are seeing. It’s not like News of the World is an unimpeachable source. If this is true I hope she gives up the cigarettes and drinking.

George Clooney’s taste is women is apparently growing more refined. After dating Sarah Larson, a Vegas cocktail waitress and ex-Fear Factor contestant, Clooney reportedly now has eyes for Fatima Bhutto, a 26-year-old poet and journalist, who is the niece of slain Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto.“He’s still out there with his usual assortment of Hollywood eye-candy hanging from his arm,” a source told The Enquirer. “But George insists those days could be coming to an end if Fatima wants to take their relationship to the next level and spend some serious time with him in the U.S.George and Fatima - who lives with her stepmother and half brother in a plush suburb of Karachi - met at an international conference last year.”Fatima Bhutto graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Middle Eastern and Asian Cultures and Languages from Columbia University and received a Masters at the School of Oriental and African Studies in South Asian Government and Politics. She has published two books and is a columnist for The News, Pakistan’s largest English-language newspaper. She probably auditioned for Fear Factor, but didn’t make the cut due to her overwhelming fear of Madagasgar Hissing Cockroaches.
