When Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long got together in Summer 2013, there were wonderful hints of an offbeat romance. She’s stunning, and he’s an adorable goofball, and they really seemed to dig each other. I especially liked how she broke her pattern of dating an army of douche for Justin. You never hear one bad word about Justin Long, and he has no shady Lohan secrets in his closet like some of the other dudes Amanda dated. Even Finn the dog loved Justin! Justin and Finn got papped together like dog and dad, so I figured Justin would put eventually a ring on it. Earlier this year, Amanda started hinting to magazines that she wanted to start a family soon, which seemed like a make-or-break move. I genuinely never expected to hear this breakup news:
Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long are back to walking red carpets solo.
After more than two years of dating, the Ted 2 beauty and New Girl actor have split. “It happened a few weeks ago,” a source close to the couple reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. “He’s really heartbroken.”
Seyfried fell for Long on Instagram in the summer of 2013. “I thought something he said was really funny,” she revealed to Vogue in May. “It was a beautiful picture of a snail, and the caption said, “F***ing MOOOOOOOOVE.” It made me laugh out loud, so I texted him.”
While Long, 37, declared on the Today show in 2014 that the couple was “in it for the long haul,” another source says their relationship has been quietly unraveling. “They had different schedules and different lives,” explains the source. “They just grew apart.”
As Seyfried also admitted to the fashion mag, “Making movies is two solid months of 12-, 14-hour days. I mean, it can ruin your relationship.”

So they’re going with the official “competing schedules” excuse, which I’m sure is true to a degree as with many actors in entertainment. This is such a bummer of a story, and they dated so quietly that I figured they’d have some low-key wedding we’d hear about after the fact. Now they’re over, and hopefully both will not rebound with some inferior types. Amanda generally has awful taste in men, you know? And I’m sure this breakup is hard on lovely Finn. *sigh*

Sad news, you guys. No more pro-Antebellum editorials from Blake Lively! Blake is shutting down her lifestyle/shopping site Preserve on October 9th. Blake teased the site for more than a year, then complained that Anna Wintour ?made? her launch the site before it was ready (to coincide with a Vogue cover). Still, Blake shilled hard for Preserve. She even claimed she was a lot better at lifestyle-siting than she was at acting (that might even be true, in which case? sad). Blake announced the death of Preserve to Vogue:
?We have an incredible team of people who do beautiful work, but we launched the site before it was ready, and it never caught up to its original mission: It?s not making a difference in people?s lives, whether superficially or in a meaningful way,? Blake Lively says, on the phone from New York. ?And that?s the whole reason I started this company, not just to fluff myself, like, ?I?m a celebrity! People will care what I have to say!? It was so never meant to be that, and that kind of became the crutch because it was already up and already running, and it?s hard to build a brand when you?re running full steam ahead?how do you catch up?? Which is why, in an attempt to do just that, all of Preserve (from objets to home decor, accessories and clothing) is currently on a very deep and very inviting sale, to prepare for its October 9th closure, so that Lively may rebuild, rebrand, and eventually reveal?on her own timeline?what her project was always meant to be. (See? Savvy.)
?It?s very exciting and it?s also incredibly scary,? says Lively of shuttering Preserve. ?I never thought I would have the bravery to actually do that, to take the site dark and to say, ?You know what? I haven?t created something that is as true and impactful as I know it can and will be. And I?m not going to continue to chase my tail and continue to put a product out there that we, as a team, are not proud of.?? While she anticipates a certain amount of backlash??Failure! Folly! We knew she couldn?t do this, too!??Lively feels ready this time around. ?I know what it?ll look like, what I?m facing publicly, that people are just going to have a heyday with this. But it?s so much worse to continue to put something out there?to ask my team to put something out there?that isn?t the best we can do. I?m going to take this hit, and the only way I can prove all the negative reactions wrong is to come back with a plan that will rock people. And I have that plan. And I?m so excited about it, and that?s what gave me the courage to do this, to say, ?You know what, I?m going to give myself one more shot at this, and I really have to do it as well as I can do it this time.? And that is the only thing that will impact people. And that?s what I?m doing. And I?m totally terrified out of my mind!? She laughs, ?I?ve asked my assistant to just play ?Shake It Off? on a loop?it feels really good to listen to it on a loop!?

There?s much more at Vogue ? Blake is already shilling her mysterious comeback project which I?m sure will just be another hipster lifestyle site, only this time with slightly fewer pro-Antebellum editorials. While I think there is something to the idea of being brave enough to publicly fail, to publicly admit that you made a bad call (or a series of bad calls), I do wonder if Blake really learned much from this experiment, considering she?s probably going to do the same thing all over again, just six months from now (or whenever).

The last time I talked about Cindy Crawford’s new memoir, Becoming, I hoped she’d dish some serious dirt on either the fashion industry or her previous relationships. Instead, she played it safe by discussing aging tips and appearance stuff. She’s gradually releasing more excerpts and tossing a little well-placed shade at Richard Gere. Cindy doesn’t call him any names, but she hints at how she “really” never felt married to him. I’m so old that I remember hearing about their wedding and feeling surprised because it happened too fast. Cindy felt that way too, and she also says her wedding ceremony and marriage to Rande Gerber is more “authentic.” Some excerpts:
Her quickie marriage to Gere: “After work one day Richard had proposed marriage, and we flew to Vegas that night for a quickie wedding with a few friends. While there is some charm to getting married at The Little Chapel of the West and then going to Denny’s afterward for some celebratory pancakes, I never quite felt that I was really married. I remember the next day being at a car wash in L.A. and hearing the radio DJ announcing my wedding and congratulating us ? it was surreal.”
She and Gerber had an “authentic, down-to-earth” wedding in the Bahamas: “I wanted to look like the best version of the girl Rande loves waking up to every morning. Rather than have my dad walk me down the aisle and ‘give me away,’ Rande and I chose to walk each other down the stairs that led to the beach and the ceremony.”
On her two pregnancies: “I wanted a baby so much, I was willing to sacrifice my body, but I didn?t have to like it. My waist is thicker, my boobs lost some of their perkiness, and I often have dark circles under my eyes from sleep deprivation. Becoming a parent and learning to love a child are probably the most selfless things a person can do. I hope that I can forever be a source of unconditional love to my children ? just like my mom was for me.”
On losing thunder to her daughter, Kaia: “I wish I could say it was easy. I always tease my daughter ? who everyone agrees, is a mini-me ? and say ‘You have my old hair – I want it back!’ or, ‘You have my old legs ? I want them back.’ She just giggles and says ‘It’s my turn now.’”
[From Daily Mail & People]
Well, it sounds like Gere swept Cindy off her stiletto heels, and she got caught up in the whirlwind of a rebellious Vegas wedding. Then the media got a hold of the relationship, and I can see why it felt like a spectacle. Whereas I recall hearing about Cindy and Rande for awhile before they got hitched, and now they’ve been together for 17 years and counting.
Cindy revealed more about her daughter, Kaia, too. Mom says the only time Kaia willingly listens to her (she is a teenager, after all) is when she gives modeling tips. Kaia is now 14 and tiptoeing into modeling after a brief stint at age 10 (Cindy decided she was too young at the time). It’s amazing how much Kaia resembles Cindy. Yes, they are mother and daughter, but it’s like looking into a time machine.
Here’s Cindy visiting GMA on Tuesday morning. She looks fantastic.

| | Patricia Arquette on inequality: 'We are selling our daughters this phony story' | | Added 9 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

At this year’s Oscars, Best Supporting Actress winner Patricia Arquette used her acceptance speech as a powerful platform to advocate for women’s rights. She said, in part “we have fought for everybody else?s equal rights, it?s our time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women in the United States of America.”
Arquette caused some controversy when she sort-of claimed, during her backstage press conference following her win, that LGBT and minority groups had not done their part to support feminist issues. She said “it?s time for all the women in America and all the men that love women, and all the gay people, and all the people of color that we?ve all fought for to fight for us now.” On Twitter Arquette made it clear that she was calling out the LGBT community for their lack of attention to women’s issues. She also made the important point that minority women are most affected by wage inequality.
That’s all background to Arquette’s new interview, with Fortune Magazine, in which she speaks at length about women’s rights. Arquette has been an advocate for California’s Equal Pay Act, which is said to be the toughest in the nation and is expected to become law soon. While reading this interview, I found myself nodding at several things Arquette said, especially when she explained how women in her mother’s generation had so few options that they often stayed with abusive partners rather than take their chances on their own. She made some really compelling comments about the politics of abortion as well.
I’m going to excerpt some of her interview below, but I recommend you read it at the source for more.
Why focus on the wage gap?
The inequality affects everything. It?s a web. We need to understand how destabilizing it is. We have to be more aware of how this issue affects women across the board. The pay gap happens in 98% of occupations, and it touches on every aspect of our lives. I just can?t see how we can have a healthy middle class without equal pay.
There is so much subconscious bias. Women have to pay more for health insurance, and we see that black women have higher rates of death from breast cancer because they don?t get care. I hear from teachers all the time that children come to school hungry on Mondays as they didn?t eat enough over the weekend. We have single mothers who aren?t earning a fair wage. And 40% of African American children are living below the poverty line. If you care about kids, hunger, or sexual abuse, if you care about any of these things, they are all
