You might thinkOlivia Munn‘s a little too old to be acting like a 22-year-old Snapchat model (last I checked, Olivia’s 37). But actually, it makes perfect sense. First, she tried to be a TV host, and it sort of worked, then she tried to be an actress, and it definitely didn’t work. At least being […]

Looks like Nina Dobrev is still on that bikini vacation of hers, because she just posted more shots of her and her hot friends to Instagram. They even did their very own running on the beach video, Baywatch style. (They got the slow-motion part right, but they’re both missing a little something in the funbag […]

I?m less concerned with the idea that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may sell their baby?s photos than I am with the idea that they?ll name this poor child something awful. Historically, Kim and Kanye haven?t done the typical celebrity stuff when it comes to baby photos and all of that. Kim wants her weddings in People Magazine but not her babies. Photos of the babies are saved for social media. Which I believe is the way to do it. If a celebrity wants to sell the photos to a magazine, do it for charity, and in all other cases, just put the photos on social media and be done with it. In any case, TMZ reports that Kim and Kanye have rejected offers of money for Baby Girl West?s first photos.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been offered multi-million dollar deals to provide first photos of their new baby … and they have REJECTED all of them. Sources familiar with the offers tell TMZ, various websites and magazines started making offers months ago. All of the offers were north of a million dollars and several outlets offered between $2 and $5 million.
The offers were never entertained … they were immediately rejected. We’re told Kim and Kanye would never consider taking money for the first photos of the baby … doing so would violate their morals. But there’s more … Kim and Kanye place the security and safety of their family above all else. They realize the media will eventually get pictures of the baby but they want to do it on their own timetable … when they’re comfortable the safety of the baby is secured.
As for what they’ve done in the past … Kim and Kanye posted the first pic of North 2 months after she was born. As for Saint, they also waited 2 months. So check Kim’s Instagram in March.
[From TMZ]
Again, this doesn?t surprise me. Kim and Yeezy are probably more focused on just bonding with baby and nesting right now. Plus, both Kim and Ye have done a pretty good job of decreasingly their public profiles over the past year and a half. Kanye went low-key to save his marriage and his sanity. Kim went low-key because she?s still traumatized from the Paris robbery. So? yeah, I?m not expecting baby photos any time soon. Why would we need to see the photos anyway? We know Kim and Kanye make beautiful children. Saint and North are gorgeous.
I can?t wait until we hear the name though. I?ve heard the leading suggestions? Wild, South, West (as in, West West), Swift, Queen, whatever. What will it be?

| | Keira Knightley doesn't like modern-day films: 'Female characters' always get raped' | | Added 6 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Keira Knightley covers the new issue of Variety to promote Colette, a film adaptation of the popular book, which will premiere at this year?s Sundance Film Festival. Keira has been lower-key ever since she gave birth to her daughter, although to be fair? Keira has been low-key for years. She met the right guy, got married, had a baby and seems to breeze through her work on stage and screen with ease. She has it all figured out! So I was slightly surprised that Keira was so no-nonsense about how she answered a lot of Variety?s questions. She used to insist on privacy at every level, but she was downright chatty and opinionated with Variety. Some highlights:
Why she wanted to play Colette: ?It?s wonderful to play inspiring women and to get their stories and their voices out there. Within her writing, Colette was questioning the idea of gender and the idea of what was naturally feminine as opposed to society?s take on being feminine. The 1890s in France, the belle poque, is interesting to look back on because there was a lot of sexual freedom. Colette had female lovers and had what I suppose we would call a transgender lover. She felt that it was her right to experience pleasure and to give pleasure. That?s still a revolutionary idea for women.?
Colette in the #MeToo era and modern-day scripts: ?I don?t think it?s a surprise that it managed to get funding in the last few years when it had never managed to get funding before. Women?s stories are suddenly viewed as important…With the rise of Netflix and Amazon we?re seeing some strong female characters and female stories on streaming services. I don?t know about films as much. I don?t really do films set in the modern day because the female characters nearly always get raped. I always find something distasteful in the way women are portrayed, whereas I?ve always found very inspiring characters offered to me in historical pieces. There?s been some improvement. I?m suddenly being sent scripts with present-day women who aren?t raped in the first five pages and aren?t simply there to be the loving girlfriend or wife.
Whether she?s ever been assaulted or abused at work: ?I?m fortunate that I?ve never been sexually abused professionally or harassed on a film set, but in my personal life, when I?ve been in bars, I can count four times when I?ve been what I?d say was assaulted in a minor way. I think everyone has battled their fair share of monsters. It?s not just actresses. It?s teachers; it?s lawyers. I?m not talking about rape, but I?m talking about the people who had been grabbed in pubs or their breasts had been fondled by somebody they didn?t know or they?d had someone shove a hand up their skirt. For too long, you really did go, ?Oh, this is just normal.? It?s terrifying that was our response. It must have been awful for all of those brave women who have come forward and spoken publicly about their experiences. There?s been a lot of pain and a lot of suffering.?
The films she made with the Weinstein Company: ?My experience with Harvey Weinstein was always very professional. He was very good on the films we made. I was aware of his reputation of being a bully. He was famous for phoning people in the middle of the night and screaming at them. He didn?t do that to me, and he certainly never asked me for massages or anything like that. I wasn?t aware of any allegations or rape or sexual assault against him. For the first time people are sharing their stories. People have been absolutely terrified to talk about it and were scared of retribution, so I don?t think everybody knew the extent of what was going on.
Back to work after giving birth to her daughter: ?It?s been busy. I took a year off when I was pregnant and after I had my kid. It was interesting, because when you have a child it?s amazing and fulfilling, but you feel like your identity can in some way be subsumed by being a mother. I had a real feeling of needing to feel like I am still me, so I attached myself to an awful lot of projects, and I got to the last one, which was actually ?Colette,? and realized I was absolutely knackered, so I?ve taken the last six months off? I was the daughter of a working mother, and I know how important it was to me and my sense of self to see my mom working. I want my daughter to see that I?m doing something that I love. I want her to know that whatever field she chooses, she can have a kid and she can still pursue a career.
[From Variety]
It?s so refreshing to hear a celebrity woman talking about how important it is to her that her daughter SEES her working, that she sees that Keira works for a living, and works because she loves it. So many celebrity moms feed into the narrative that stay-at-home mothering is the best way to parent when really, few moms even have that choice. And in some cases, like Keira, women want to go back to work. As for what she says about Weinstein? I believe her. I believe she didn?t know. I also think she?s disturbingly right about how many fictional rapes there are in movies and television nowadays. Ugh.

Yesterday, we discussed how Selena Gomez?s mom kind of threw her under the bus when it comes to Selena?s questionable life decisions. By ?threw her under the bus,? I mostly mean that her mom did that Mom Thing of ?she makes her own decisions, she?s technically an adult, I?m not pulling the strings at this point.? Which I believe is true – Selena is 25 years old. She knows what she?s doing. People just tend to infantilize her because she looks so young and because she was so young when she first became famous. Anyway, apparently Selena?s mom Mandy also had some sh-t to say about the Woody Allen movie Selena worked on last fall. When questioned on Instagram about why she didn?t veto her daughter?s film role, Mandy wrote:
?Sorry, No one can make Selena do anything she doesn?t want to. I had a long talk with her about not working with him and it didn?t click. Her team are amazing people. There is no fall person here. No one controls her. She makes all her own decisions. No matter how hard you try to advise. It falls on deaf ears.”
[Via Harper?s Bazaar]
Again, it?s not that Mandy is throwing her daughter under the bus. Most moms do this at some point: their babies leave the nest and it?s sink or swim. Selena is 25. She knows what she?s doing, and the fallout is hers to own. Well, Selena and her team want you to know something about that Woody Allen film: Selena, like, totally donated to Time?s Up, okay?
After Timothe Chalamet and Rebecca Hall pledged to donate their salaries from their upcoming Woody Allen film A Rainy Day in New York to Time?s Up and other charitable organizations in wake of the ongoing claims of sexual abuse against the director, some fans criticized costar Selena Gomez for not following suit.
Though Gomez, 25, has yet to make a similar public stand against Allen, a source close to the actress tells PEOPLE that she ?made a significant donation anonymously? to the Time?s Up Legal Defense Fund that ?far exceeded her salary for the film.?
On the day the defense fund was announced, Gomez expressed her support for the movement on her Instagram page. ?It?s time to shift the balance in the workplace, from representing the few to representing us all,? she captioned her post, which has received nearly 1.3 million likes.
[From People]
Rebecca Hall and Timothee Chalamet donated to Time?s Up (Chalamet donated to other charities as well) as part of their public apologies to Dylan Farrow. Their statements were the important part, the fact that they acknowledged that Woody Allen is, at best, problematic AF and at worst a pedophile. Selena is trying to have it both ways – she wants to work on Woody Allen films, not be questioned about why she?s okay with Woody Allen, and she wants ?credit? for her anonymous, large donation to Time?s Up. I mean, good for her for donating to Time?s Up. But I suspect she didn?t do it because she regrets working with Woody Allen.
It?s time to shift the balance in the workplace, from representing the few to representing us all. #TIMESUP @timesupnow

Last year, Amber Rose announced on social media that she was considering breast reduction. Amber is, in a not-so-modern parlance, stacked like a brick sh-thouse. She has curves for days. When Amber talked about it last year, I ended up talking about how I too had thought about getting my DDD-cups reduced but I honestly hate the idea of surgery and I was, at that time, somewhat free of back problems. Around Thanksgiving of last year though, I threw out my back and I?m still wondering if the size of my bust had something to do with it. Basically, I?m still wondering if I should seriously consider reduction. Amber, on the other hand, has made up her mind. She announced on Tuesday that she?s really doing it.
Amber Rose is undergoing breast reduction surgery. The model, 34, shared the news on her Instagram stories on Tuesday, revealing she was undergoing the surgery on Wednesday, something that she was ?really excited? about, despite also having misgivings.
?My Breast Reduction surgery is tmrw,? she wrote, adding several emojis to explain her current state of mind. In a second photo, she detailed her feelings, writing, ?I?m really scared and really excited at the same time.?
In a show of faith, Rose added a third photo, saying her doctors, Dr. Matlock and Dr. Fisher, were ?gonna take care of me.?
The decision to have a breast reduction has long been in the works for the mother of one. In July 2017, the star revealed on Instagram that she had been ?thinking about getting a breast reduction this year.?
While Rose waited until the beginning of 2018 to have the surgery, she revealed that the procedure was something she wanted because ?my boobs are stupid heavy, my back hurts and I can?t wear cute lil shirts without a grandma bra. I?m really scared of the lollipop scars tho? any advice?? She added. ?Are there any ladies out there that are much happier even though you have a breast reduction scars??
[From People]
I wish her well. I wonder how small she?ll go? I think Amber?s figure looks pretty proportional right now – her chest ?evens out? the size of her butt, you know? You can tell that she was just born that way, with a crazy hourglass figure. But she?ll look cute with more of a pear-shape too – she?ll be able to wear so many cute blouses and sweaters and cute little bras and everything. I?m sort of jealous. I?ve literally NEVER been able to wear those kinds of cute tops meant for small-chested women. I hope Amber takes us on her small-breasted journey!

In December, Matt Damon saw that a bunch of women were trying to talk about sexual harassment and abuse and he thought ?how silly, I need to go over there and talk over them so I can explain what?s really happening!? Which is how December became the month of Matt Damon Is Over. He gave several interviews where he was offensively tone-deaf and actively obtuse about the #MeToo conversations and the outing of serial predators like Louis CK, Harvey Weinstein and more. Matt cast himself as one of the few people who truly had the depth, intelligence and mental fortitude to single-handedly adjudicate sexual harassment and abuse situations and determine which abusers would be ?allowed? back into the Hollywood fold. It wasn?t like his comments had to be coaxed out of him either, and they weren?t some dirty little secret – he repeatedly went on the record. He went running into this conversation with the kind of audacious entitlement that comes standard issue whenever you?re born with a white penis.
After those terrible interviews, Matt?s dad passed away after a long illness. I took a break from covering Damon for a few weeks – even though I was sure Matt still deserved to be publicly bashed for his comments, I also thought he deserved to spend some quiet time with his family. Well, Matt is back. He did a Today Show interview on Tuesday and he was asked about all of those comments last month. Guess what? He actually apologized. I guess he finally returned those phone calls from the studio publicist. He told Today:
“I really wish I’d listened a lot more before I weighed in on this? I don’t want to further anybody’s pain with anything that I do or say. So for that I am really sorry. You know, Time?s Up, a lot of those women are my dear friends and I love them and respect them and support what they’re doing and want to be a part of that change and want to go along for the ride, but I should get in the back seat and close my mouth for a while.”
[From E! News]
Matt Damon: forgiven? I haven?t forgiven him, mostly because those interviews crystallized something about him which had been in the air for several years: Matt Damon isn?t a good guy. He?s not a bad guy, really, but the compounded errors, the tone deaf instincts on race, harassment, women?s rights and more – he?s just not the same boyishly handsome Mr. All-American dude that everybody thought he was. He?s just another entitled douche.
Here?s the interview. You know who offended me here? Kathy Lee Gifford. Skip ahead to the 4:20 mark to see Matt?s apology.

| | Alec Baldwin: The renunciation of Woody Allen is 'unfair and sad to me' | | Added 6 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

You sort of have to hand it to Alec Baldwin – he?s an intelligent, charming man who manages to piss of nearly everyone around him. He?s a brilliant actor who has burned many bridges throughout his career simply because he ran his mouth off when he shouldn?t have. There?s something deeply contrarian about Alec – no matter how many times he has been advised to simply stay quiet and let the dust settle, Alec will literally barge in, uninvited, to mouth off yet again. It?s become a parody at this point – Alec says something deeply offensive, he gives a half-assed apology and promises to stay off Twitter, then after a few days he?s back at it again with tweets and ill-timed words, like a thirsty itch that needs to be scratched, always in the public sphere.
Anyway, Alec Baldwin has said words in defense of Woody Allen before. Baldwin has worked with Woody a few times, memorably in Blue Jasmine and not-so-memorably in To Rome with Love. As I keep saying, Woody Allen no longer has a constituency in Hollywood. That shifted a few years ago and now, in the current age of heightened awareness around abuse and abusers, major stars are disavowing Woody right and left with no repercussions. In fact, disavowing Woody will garner you better headlines than just keeping your mouth shut. But Alec Baldwin?s contrarian nature needed to scratch that itch. So he tweeted this on Tuesday:
Woody Allen was investigated forensically by two states (NY and CT) and no charges were filed. The renunciation of him and his work, no doubt, has some purpose. But it?s unfair and sad to me. I worked w WA 3 times and it was one of the privileges of my career.
WA?s talent has nothing to do with it.
This is a charge that was investigated aggressively and resulted in…nothing. What would it take for you to at least consider that he is telling the truth?
Is it possible to support survivors of pedophilia and sexual assault/abuse and also believe that WA is innocent? I think so.
The intention is not to dismiss or ignore such complaints. But accusing ppl of such crimes should be treated carefully. On behalf of the victims, as well.
[From Alec Baldwin?s Twitter]
Baldwin also retweeted some stuff about and from Moses Farrow, brother to Ronan and Dylan Farrow, who always claimed that Woody was innocent and that Mia Farrow was the abusive parent. The retweets raise an interesting point too – if we believe that Dylan Farrow is a victim of abuse, should we believe Moses? story as well?
All that being said, for me the ?no charges were filed? argument will always fall flat about any accused predator. One of the reasons why #MeToo has gained so much traction is because so many women correctly feel that the legal system was not built to protect us, and that all too often, the legal system fails us in our most desperate moments. I don?t need to see Harvey Weinstein formally charged with a crime to KNOW that he is a rapist and a predator. Perhaps the better argument for Alec is the one he makes about Moses – we should believe victims when they tell their stories. Believe Dylan. But believe Moses Farrow too, and try to understand what happened to both of them.

Sharon Stone has a new project coming out called Mosaic by HBO and Steven Soderbergh. It?s an interactive murder mystery in which the watcher gets to choose how they watch the storylines. Reader/viewer involvement projects kind of fascinate me so I will probably give this a try. If you don?t want to work for your entertainment, HBO will release it as a six-part miniseries on January 22nd.
In Mosaic, Sharon plays the murder victim, that?s not a spoiler, that?s straight from IMDb. The role is being discussed as her comeback, which is odd to me as her IMDb has her working steadily. So, I assume the comeback refers to the size of the role, she?s out front in the Mosaic promotion. As Sharon told Harpers Bazaar in 2014, she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in 2001 and had a significant recovery period following that. Lee Cowan with CBS Sunday Morning interviewed Sharon about her comeback and the discussion turned to her status as a sex symbol and whether she?s been a victim of sexual harassment, to which she answered by way of a 10-second laugh.
Sharon Stone laughed out loud?for a full 10 seconds!?when Lee Cowan asked her on CBS Sunday Morning if she ever experienced inappropriate behavior during her time in Hollywood. “I don’t really know how to ask this in a delicate way, but were you ever in a position like that, that you felt that you were uncomfortable?” Cowan asked. As Stone cackled, he said, “You’re laughing. I don’t know if that’s a nervous laugh or ‘Are you kidding me? Of course I was’ laugh.”
After composing herself, Stone looked Cowan dead in the eye. “I’ve been in this business for 40 years, Lee. Can you imagine the business I stepped into 40 years ago? Looking like I look, from Nowhere, Pennsylvania? I didn’t come here with any protection,” she told him. “I’ve seen it all.”
Stone is a supporter of the Time’s Up movement, and like many of her peers, she wore black in solidarity at the 2018 Golden Globes. “We were raised to accommodate men, particularly in my generation, and women so often lose their own identity to the identity of the man that they’re with. They even change the way they dress and what they do to fit the men that they’re with,” she said. At last, the actress said, “We’re starting to acknowledge our own gifts as women and not think that we have to behave as men in order to be empowered, or powerful, or valuable.”
[From E! News]
You can watch the clip here. The part that is getting the most attention is Sharon laughing at Lee?s question on harassment. I think the message she?s trying to make is that most people, men in particular, still don?t seem to grasp how common harassment is and that women were taught to grin and bear it. It?s a dramatic way for her to make her point but I?m not sure it?s the most helpful way to make it. But her point about women being raised to accommodate men is a good one. I don?t feel I’ve ever lost my identity to the man I was with, but I do know that many issues that women face like menopause, periods, gravity on the aging body, etc. are expected to only be discussed among women. At a recent get-together I discussed my loss of energy and how it?s affect my running schedule during perimenopause. A friend told me later that her husband had been uncomfortable with ?us talking about such intimate things.? She was honestly scolding me for saying the word ?perimenopause,? even though I only mentioned it was affecting my sleep and energy. Like Sharon, I am really tired of holding my tongue just because some man in the room was taught only his problems matter.
Here is the trailer for Mosaic:
