Doutzen Kroes is 30, that’s old in model years. They age about twice as fast as normal folks, so that puts her at 60. Time to retire. At least she’s having fun. She put up a shot of her booty on Instagram with the caption “He popped all my buttons and he ripped my shorts.” No word on who ‘he’ is. Could be her husband, Sunnery James, or it could be her telling everyone about our night together. Shhh Doutzen, I don’t need no drama.
And if you can’t get enough of Kroes’ booty, check her out playing paddleball on the beach. Paddleball I say!

I’m pretty sure Elizabeth Hurley has got to be pushing 50 these days, but here she is celebrating DSQUARED2’s London flagship opening and somehow that perfect cleavage of hers hasn’t aged a day. I don’t know how that’s physically possible, but I think I read somewhere that she attributes it to eating right, getting enough […]

| Ben Affleck explains censoring PBS: 'I lobbied the same way I lobby directors' | Added 9 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |
|
|
|
|
|
Yesterday we ran a story about how Ben Affleck had yet to respond to the controversy over the fact that he had requested that the PBS show, Finding Your Roots, remove footage revealing that he had an ancestor who was a slave owner. We knew this because emails from host Louis Gates Jr. were revealed as part of the Sony hack. In the emails, Gates expressed concern over the fact that a celebrity guest was trying to influence the show. We read, in Gates’s own words, that the show had “never had anyone ever try to censor or edit what we found” and that to remove the material “would be a violation of PBS rules.” Affleck’s lack of a statement at that point was kind of glaring after Gates and PBS had both issued statements on Friday explaining the change as one of editorial choice, not undue influence.
Well Affleck issued a statement last night, and unlike Gates’s kind of brief, well-stated response, Affleck tried to explain his position more thoroughly. That’s understandable, considering that the story grew so much in the interim, but I think he could have nipped it in the bud with a shorter statement earlier. The longer he avoided it, the more this story grew. Affleck wrote that he asked that parts be included and excluded from his segment, similar to the movie-making process where he makes his preferences known to a director. He’s a director too, so it makes sense to me that he wanted that level of control. Then he talked about how he felt embarrassed for his family and that it was hard to be vulnerable or something and he lost me there.
After an exhaustive search of my ancestry for “Finding Your Roots,” it was discovered that one of my distant relatives was an owner of slaves.
I didn’t want any television show about my family to include a guy who owned slaves. I was embarrassed. The very thought left a bad taste in my mouth.
Skip decided what went into the show. I lobbied him the same way I lobby directors about what takes of mine I think they should use. This is the collaborative creative process. Skip agreed with me on the slave owner but made other choices I disagreed with. In the end, it’s his show and I knew that going in. I’m proud to be his friend and proud to have participated.
It’s important to remember that this isn’t a news program. Finding Your Roots is a show where you voluntarily provide a great deal of information about your family, making you quite vulnerable. The assumption is that they will never be dishonest but they will respect your willingness to participate and not look to include things you think would embarrass your family.
I regret my initial thoughts that the issue of slavery not be included in the story. We deserve neither credit nor blame for our ancestors and the degree of interest in this story suggests that we are, as a nation, still grappling with the terrible legacy of slavery. It is an examination well worth continuing. I am glad that my story, however indirectly, will contribute to that discussion. While I don’t like that the guy is an ancestor, I am happy that aspect of our country’s history is being talked about.
[From Facebook]
E! notes that PBS has also launched an internal investigation into what happened in this instance. Outlets were questioning whether PBS had compromised their integrity by caving to Batfleck’s request and PBS took it seriously. They’re not making reality shows, they’re trying to show history good and bad.
NPR had some excellent coverage of this story during Morning Edition today. (You can hear it here.) Commentator Gene Demby pointed out that the omission of Affleck’s slave owning ancestor is very glaring “if you watch the episode in context.” Affleck’s episode focused on the fact that he had a fore-bearer who fought in the Revolutionary war alongside Washington and that his mother was active in the Civil Rights movement. So Affleck’s episode was about freedom, but he refused to include the negative parts of his genealogy along with the positive parts.
At least Affleck addressed this and admits that he should have included the issue of slavery in his story. However, I do find his statement too self-focused and defensive. This sentence in particular bothers me “The assumption is that they will never be dishonest but they will respect your willingness to participate and not look to include things you think would embarrass your family.” Did he not read the emails? He doesn’t even address the editorial integrity of PBS and he’s assuming the “collaborative creative process” applies to what is supposed to be a documentary-type show. He’s still acting as if it was his right to ask them to whitewash his ancestry when the issue was so serious that Gates sought advice on it and PBS is launching an internal investigation.
A Canadian reader sent us a tip that Ben was spotted in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia last Thursday. Reader Steph emailed me that Affleck “was seen near a Buddhist monastery in Cape Breton… He may be on a retreat there and if so, may not even be aware of all the fuss about his ancestor and his attempt to censor the story.” They have video of Affleck and everything so it’s known that he was there. It’s possible that he was on a retreat without electronics, but Affleck was photographed at the Farmer’s Market in LA on Sunday Morning, and again out with his wife yesterday. He must have learned about this story over the weekend at the latest.

| Jennifer Garner advocates for GMO labeling, talks growing her own food | Added 9 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Jennifer Garner and Gisele Bundchen attended an event last night to support the Just Label It project, which is advocating for federal mandates of food labeling for genetically modified consumer products. Both discussed the importance of transparency in the food industry, something that is sorely lacking when it comes to genetically modified food. Garner said that she’s able to buy non-GMO foods (she probably shops at Whole Paycheck Foods) but that the rest of the country doesn’t have that luxury. She also talked about growing her own food and helping her children understand the origins of their food. You can see a brief video interview with Garner on E! Online.
Garner on why she got involved with the cause
My friend Gisele and I are fed up with being kept in the dark about GMO and non-GMO labeling,” Garner said. “I got involved because she said, ‘Do you know what’s happening?’ She’s a firecracker. She said, ‘You have to educate yourself.
It’s easy for me to shop at places where foods are labeled. Only 3% of the food we produce is non-GMO. But if that 3% is available to you, you kind of take that for granted, but the rest of the country is being fed food – certainly all of the animals that are being turned into our meat, they’re all being fed food that’s been genetically modified.
How Garner educates her children about food
I cook for my kids, and we have a garden. We try to grow whatever we can, although I can?t say we have the hugest crop in the world, but I do try to pay close attention and I do my best.
But we talk about our food, we grow food, we talk about what goes into it and how hard it is. They planted it, they water it, they take pictures next to it. I’m a geek.
On what Garner cooks for her kids
I make everything. Roasted chicken and mashed potatoes, gravy, homemade bread, corn on the cob, you know, whatever.
Gisele on GMO labeling
This is a very important cause to me as an individual, as a parent and as a mother. I am here tonight because I believe we have the right to know what’s in our food.
Food sustains our bodies, minds and souls, and as a mother, I feel it is my responsibility to know what I am feeding my family. We need transparency in our food industry.
[From US Magazine and E! Online]
I’ve heard reports claiming the GMO foods are no riskier and that people are overreacting to the potential threat. However in the EU GMO foods are very strictly regulated to the point where most GMO crops are banned. The way I understand it, it’s not about the risk to human health so much as the potential agricultural issues that come up with GMO crops, such as cross contamination. Plus, we simply don’t know the long term effects of GMO foods on human health. At the very least we can have labeling for foods to help inform consumers. I eat non-organic vegetables from the grocery store, (organic veggies don’t last as long, are more expensive, and aren’t more nutritionally valuable) but I do think this is a worthy cause. It’s not necessarily going to get me to buy non-GMO food, but I think consumers should be informed about it.
Good for Garner for growing her own vegetables with her family and teaching her children where their food comes from. I’m not that ambitious and am not a gardener, but I appreciate it when people grow their own food. It’s a cause that Michelle Obama has helped champion, too. Children should also know what an environmental burden it is to raise animals for meat. I feel like I should mention that on Earth Day. If we can reduce our meat consumption and substitute local meat where possible we can reduce our impact on the environment.
I believe we have a right to know what is in our food. #justlabelit #GMOlabeling. Eu acredito que ns temos o direito de saber o que tem em nossa comida. #poenorotulo

Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian on her way to the Time 100 gala last night in NYC. This is why Kim and Kanye flew out of LA a few nights ago ? they came to NYC just to attend the Time 100 gala, which makes sense because Time included both of them on the Most Influential People list (Yeezus even got a cover). Kim wore this surprisingly appropriate Sophie Theallet gown. I mean? she looks really nice, right? For her. Yes, it?s cleavage-y and her hair could be better, but overall? this is a nice look for Kim. It?s almost modest and conservative.
While on the red carpet, Kim and Kanye were ?pranked? by Amy Schumer ? Schumer threw herself, face-down, on the carpet in front of Kimye ? go here to see the photos. Kanye does not look amused. Kim sort of gets it, but she?s not happy either. You know who is laughing her ass off? Laverne Cox. Hahaha.
More photos from the Time 100 red carpet? Ronan Farrow came with his mom, Mia Farrow. But who is his father?!
Karlie Kloss in a simple black gown. Very pretty. I like her hair sort of undone like this.
Faith Hill and Tim McGraw ? they both look like they?ve been hitting the ?Tox, right? Faith wore an elegant Armani Prive Spring 2015 look.
Julianne Moore in black sparkles, looking happy.
Laverne Cox in a stunning Marc Bouwer Fall 2015 gown. This is one of the best looks I?ve seen on Laverne in a long time. She stood out too, because most women wore black to this event.
Julianna Margulies in a black Michael Kors Fall 2015 gown. I think this is my favorite of all the black gowns!

| Sandra Bullock is People Mag's 'Most Beautiful' of 2015: great choice' | Added 9 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Naming Sandra Bullock the Most Beautiful Person in the World is sort of like naming Tom Hanks ?the Nicest Dude in the World.? It?s an obvious choice, and it?s a choice that will give People Magazine very little controversy. The past cover ladies have included Lupita Nyong?o (2014), Gwyneth Paltrow (2013), Beyonce (2012) and Jennifer Lopez (2011). The ?most beautiful? does skew towards moms, but to give People Mag some credit, they?ve been doing more diverse lists over the past decade or so. Anyway, part of the agreement when one is named Most Beautiful is an in-depth interview with People. You can read Sandra?s full interview here. She talks mostly about being a mom to son Louis. Some highlights:
When she heard she was ?Most Beautiful?: She laughed. “No, really. I just said, ‘That’s ridiculous.? I’ve told no one.”
Beauty in LA: ?Real beauty is quiet. Especially in this town, it’s just so hard not to say, ‘Oh, I need to look like that.? No, be a good person, be a good mom, do a good job with the lunch, let someone cut in front of you who looks like they’re in a bigger hurry. The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren’t trying.”
Conversations with Louis: “[I?m] listening to him tell me why he was going to marry his girlfriend. But then we were having Sunday dinner, and he said he changed his mind. I just told him, ‘Always love those who want to love you back and are nice to you.’ Then we moved back to Legos and ‘Why are you making me eat broccoli?’ ”
Her workouts with Body By Simone four to five times a week: “I love that it’s not big weights, you move the entire time, it’s a torture chamber of sorts. When I started, I could barely do 20 seconds, and I’m not kidding. I’m crying on the floor, and she’s like, ‘Are you a smoker?’ I was like, ‘I hate you.’ ”
What Louis says about her wrinkles: “I was putting him to bed and told him that even when I’m old and gray and more wrinkly than I am now, I’ll still love him and want to tuck him in. And he asked why I have wrinkles, and I said, ‘Well, I hope some of them are from laughing so much.’ And he touched my face and said, ‘You’re not old, you’re just happy.’ ”
[From People]
She talks a lot about how she is as a mother, that she maintains the rules but she lets all of Louis?s aunties and uncles spoil him. She also says that she doesn?t want Louis to know she?s an actress because ?I want it to be so inconsequential and such a nonissue. I want him to be embarrassed by me like all other parents.”
Let?s see who else made the Most Beautiful list this year ? you can see People?s slideshow here. Who made the list? Vanessa Hudgens, Ariana Grande, Gabrielle Union, Laverne Cox, Taraji P. Henson, Gigi Hadid and many more. This list seems sort of? boring? I kind of think Taraji would have been a great cover girl though.
2 days until our World's #MostBeautiful cover reveal! Today's beauty is @tarajiphenson. Check back each day to see the latest gorgeous star on the list, and see who PEOPLE chose as the #MostBeautiful woman on April 22! ?: Allen Cooley

| Olivia Wilde: The 'gift of motherhood' gives you 'different levels of emotion' | Added 9 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Olivia Wilde is promoting a new movie, Meadowland, which premiered at Tribeca. She’s wearing a scarf-necked Dsquared dress that makes me believe (along with last week’s fringed Marchesa dress) that she needs a new stylist. Livvy recently told Deadline how she fought hard for this role (as a mother whose child goes missing). I understand why Olivia would pursue the role — playing a mother is different from the hot girl/saloon girl/cool girl roles that Olivia usually plays. This is also personal to Olivia. Ever since she gave birth to baby Otis Alexander a year ago, Olivia’s very much embraced her real-life mom role.
Olivia has always been very outspoken and witty, and I wasn’t surprised to see her extend those qualities to mom-oriented issues like breastfeeding. She has gotten a little preachy though. Livvy has talked about “the gift of motherhood” already. She said motherhood bestowed her with a “freeing selflessness.” I bristled when she talked about looking like a mother because she sounded judgy. Now Olivia talks about how motherhood has expanded her ability to empathize. People spoke to Livvy as she and Sudeikis sipped Bombay Sapphire at the Meadowland afterparty:
On relating as a parent: “I think anyone who becomes a parent, their heart expands, and you empathize on a different level, and that’s what I think was required to tell this story as it should have been told. I don’t know if I would have been able to play [my character] Sarah without being a mother. “It’s actually kind of a gift of motherhood: You’re in touch with different levels of emotions. I think it’s all very connected.”
On balancing motherhood & work: “I feel very supported and just very lucky to be working on such good things. There are people managing much more complicated lives than me.”
On celebs who distance themselves from feminism: “Is that even true? I didn’t even know! I’m so clueless. I think people have a hard time understanding exactly what it means. If people understand it simply means equality, then possibly they would have an easier time standing up for that.”
[From People & HuffPo]
Olivia says she never could have played this role without being a mother herself. She’s now able to empathize more than during her pre-mom days, which is fine. I just wish she didn’t make sweeping statements. The key to empathy is placing oneself in another person’s shoes, regardless of whether you’ve experienced the situation at hand. Perhaps Livvy is talking about sympathy, not empathy. It’s true that motherhood brings about new fuzzy feelings, but moms aren’t any more evolved than women who don’t have children (for whatever reason).
Olivia redeems herself by talking about feminism. She’s correct, a lot of people don’t know what the word means, and they don’t bother to educate themselves. I also like how Olivia recognizes that she has a less complicated working-mom life than a woman who works a traditional full-time job or stays at home with the kids and no outside help.
Here’s some more strange Trebeca fashion from Olivia. The diagonal-stripe dress is Tory Burch, and the sequin top and trousers are Christian Dior. Is she trying to pull off Jolie stying with the Dior?

| Zooey Deschanel: 'Adorkable' was a calculated ploy made by a marketing team | Added 9 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |
|
|
|
|
|
True story: I loved New Girl?s first season and I hung in there about half-way through the third season. Then I gave up. The show went off the rails and at this point, I really don?t want to even deal with Zooey Deschanel or her adorkability. ?Adorkable? was the branding word used for New Girl and Zooey during the first few years of New Girl. It was twee and grating and most people were over ?adorkable? pretty quickly. Turns out, Zooey has been over it for a while too. Zooey?s promoting a new indie film, The Driftless Area, and she sat down with HuffPo to discuss the chains of adorkable.
Word to the wise: Stop referring to Zooey Deschanel as “adorkable.” The term has been used to describe the “New Girl” star ever since the show premiered in 2011, but Deschanel is over the expression. In an interview with The Huffington Post, the 35-year-old actress admits she’s sometimes misinterpreted by the public.
“I don?t always identify, perhaps, with the way that I?m portrayed in certain public contexts. I try to stay away from that sort of thing,” she explained, adding that the word “adorkable” was a successful “New Girl” marketing campaign. “That was something that was calculated, you know what I mean? That was our marketing department at Fox and they did a really good job with our first season, but that’s a word that describes the character that I play, not me. I don?t personally have identification with that word myself.”
“In addition, I don?t really care what people think of me,” she continued. “I know that sounds crazy because you?re supposed to care about what people think of you, I guess, as an actor, but I really don?t. Obviously I’m grateful for all of the opportunities that I?ve had thus far, including ‘New Girl,’ but I don?t think I’ve ever met a person who knows me use that word to describe me, so it?s not of any consequence to me.”
Deschanel tries to focus on what really matters in her career — nabbing roles she’s passionate about and interested in — rather than the characteristics she seemingly presents. “It?s dangerous to start worrying or pandering too much in either direction,” she said of identifying with a certain persona. “Some people get so caught up in one version of themselves and then, that blatant rejection of what people think of them — like the band who doesn?t want to play their No. 1 hit or something — isn?t healthy. It?s also not healthy to over-identify with it either,” Deschanel added. “I?m just kind of neutral — I?m an entertainer, and I do different types of things to entertain people, but ultimately when I make a choice, I?m making that choice to challenge myself and do something that seems like it would be interesting. That?s my philosophy.”
[From HuffPo]
That?s a lot of words to simply say ?adorkable isn?t my jam, you guys.? So, do you believe her? Is ?adorakable? a prison made by marketing teams? Sure, it totally was. But that was Zooey?s vibe for a while too and she played it up. I think what we?re seeing now is just a woman who has matured. Zooey isn?t so twee anymore ? she?s happily knocked up and she?s with a more mature dude/partner. She?s even doing something different with those GD bangs. And yes, it does sound like Zooey cares a lot about what people think of her. Just my opinion. People who really don?t give a crap don?t give lengthy diatribes about how they?re not adorkable.

Here are some photos of Scarlett Johansson at last night?s London premiere of The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Am I crazy for liking this? ScarJo isn?t giving me budget Elsa Pataky vibes anymore, and I?m sort of enjoying her crazy hair and this Balmain Fall 2015 jumpsuit. It reads like a gown but it actually is a jumpsuit with very wide legs. The multi-colored fabric could have gone either way, but the black border at the top and the black at the waist brings everything together and makes this look sophisticated rather than dated. There?s only one styling mistake here: the Bvlgari earrings. They don?t work with this jumpsuit.
While doing the big press conference for Ultron yesterday, ScarJo fielded some questions about why there isn?t a stand-alone Black Widow movie. While I appreciate the fact that there?s an appetite for female superhero films, those questions should be directed towards Joss Whedon and Kevin Feige, right? NOT ScarJo? Here?s Scarlett trying to say that yes, she would love a Black Widow movie but still, she?s a Company Woman.
Whenever anyone goes on and on about how Scarlett is super-brilliant, I?m always like ?Really? Her?? Don?t get me wrong, she?s smarter than the average starlet and she?s managed to fashion an excellent career for herself. But you know she like you know says you know like a lot and I sometimes you know get the you know feeling that like people just want to like paint her as you know the bombshell with you know a brain.
