Hollywood Blah Blah – May 24, 2010

Oh, so apparently Kelly Killoren Bensimon — who recently threatened to quit Facebook if people didn’t stop wasting her time saying hurtful things — didn’t have a nervous breakdown on The Real Housewives of New York City last week when she blew up at her costars. She had a nervous breakthrough, according to her. Apparently her mean castmates were bullying her and she reacted — something she promises not to do again. Honestly, I don’t understand her comment about her time being wasted, given that she seems to spend most it in a bikini and presumably away from Facebook anyway.

Elin Nordegren and Rachel Uchitel aren’t the only ones getting relationship hush money. Kanye West apparently gave Amber Rose a million bucks to keep quiet about their relationship. Ok, it doesn’t compare to the $10M Itchypuss Uchitel suposedly got from Tiger Woods (and she didn’t even keep quiet, I’m guessing), nor to the $750M Elin will probably receive in her divorce settlement from Tiger, but it’s a start.

Kate Gosselin of the reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8 moved on with her life after hubby left, and it looks as if she’s done quite well. Word is that she received over $100K per episode on Dancing With the Stars. She only lasted 5 weeks, but $500K is a pretty nice haul for a single mother of 8 children.

Today’s celebrity birthdays include Kristin Scott Thomas (50; wow, already?), Alfred Molina (57), John C. Reilly (45), Bob Dylan (69; no way!), Will Sasso (35), and Priscilla Presley (65; yikes, it’s Vampirella).

Alicia Keys doesn’t let a little thing like being pregnant and already showing her baby bump stop her from performing. Good for you, girl.

A TV movie about President Obama, Little Obama, will cover his time spent in Indonesia in his youth. The movie airs Jun 17th in Indonesia. No word yet on whether it’ll be available in the U.S.

Hollywood Blog Blather – May 3, 2010

Have you heard? Lindsay Lohan, aka LiLo, is said to be playing porn star Linda Lovelace (also a “LiLo”) in the indie flick Inferno. Too bad she’s busy complaining about her ex-girlfriend, Samantha Ronson, and her dad when legendary actresses (Lynn Redgrave) are dying. Get your act together and get on with your life.

If LiLo has truly given up on men and is still looking for another girlfriend, she might want to ring up country music artist Chely Wright (see video below), who was going to out herself to People.com but got outed first elsewhere. Maybe Chely decided to out herself because no one knows who the heck she is (or how to pronounce her name). Or because such news will help sell her memoir and upcoming album (first in five years), Lifted off the Ground. Well if country music fans know and love her, maybe there’ll be a bit more tolerance towards gays and lesbians in that community. And then a few more country music stars can out themselves. Who? Wait and see.

Speaking of alleged bisexuality, Angelina Jolie seems to be giving back the snub to Barack Obama. Not to long ago, when The B was campaigning for Prez, the Brangelina duo of Angelina and Brad Pitt offered to do their part and were apparently turned down. Since then, Angelina has turned down multiple Washington, D.C.,  invites, including one to the prestigious White House Correspondents Dinner that took place this past weekend. Since this is the umpteenth invite she turned down, it sort of sounds like sour grapes. Or her role as UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) might in fact be keeping her busy as she claims for her excuse not to attend.

While Angelina’s busy in her social pursuits, Jessica Biel reminds me again of why I think she’s so much hotter than most actresses (despite her choice of Justin Timberlake as lover): she wants to climb Mt. Everest. If there’s any actress capable of this monumental feat, it really is Jessica. Bravo for you.

Speaking of hot model/ actresses, Clare grant just married actor comedian Seth Green at Skywalker Ranch. Who said short men don’t get the lady? Could it have been all those demented stop-motion Robot Chicken episodes that Seth co-created and voiced that won Clare over? Congratulations you two.
