Hollywood Celebrities Gossips

Lindsay Lohan can't catch a break these days.
Last week, her new movie The Canyons was rejected by the Sundance Film Festival, and now South By Southwest (SXSW) has reportedly followed suit.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "quality issues" was the hilarious reason cited, with one source labeling the Bret Easton Ellis film "a monstrosity."
Good or bad, the recent New York Times feature entitled "Here Is What Happens When You Cast Lindsay Lohan in Your Movie" did little to help the film.
The paper describes the "chaos" surrounding the often-drunk Lindsay Lohan, from $46,000 hotel bills to erratic behavior and days-long disappearances.

Score another point for Manti Te'o in his battle to prove that he had nothing to do with fooling America into thinking he had a girlfriend.
In an interview with People, Alexandra del Pilar - who dated the Notre Dame linebacker for two months in late 2012 - says Te'o often referenced Lennay Kekua and acted every bit like someone who believed she died of leukemia on September 12.
"Lennay was often brought up in conversation," Del Pilar says. "I wanted to know about her, and how they did the long distance. He definitely [loved her]."

Chely Wright is about to be a first-time mother... of TWO babies!
The country singer and wife Lauren Blitzer-Wright announced today that they are expecting identical twins this summer, breaking the news to television personality Howard Bragman.
“We’re excited to be parents and we hope we don’t mess it up too badly!” Wright said.

This just in: Kris Jenner is an abusive, love-making, absentee mother who makes her children's lives a living hell.
And the source of this breaking news? A deceased Robert Kardashian, according to the latest hilarious issue of In Touch Weekly.
The cover story of this tabloid alleges that Kris once threatened to murder Kim Kardashian; ditched her kids on Christmas; and had sex with a boyfriend… while Khloe Kardashian sort of played nearby!
It's all truly startling information about a mother who we all know was behind the Kim Kardashian sex tape.

President Barack Obama and wife Michelle Obama stunned a group of visitors by greeting them individually during their White House tour on Tuesday.
Hands were shaken. Days were made. But the President met one guest, named Trevor, who had a special request. "Can I ask for a fist bump?" asked Trevor.
Without hesitation, the president obliged ...
Note: President Obama finishes his fist bumps with an explosion. A member of the greatest military on Earth also learned this after greeting Obama in 2012:

Might the latest issue of Star explain why Selena Gomez sang Cry Me a River this weekend?
According to tabloid source, Justin Bieber has himself quite the raucous adventure on December 21, as he partied it up with BFF Lil Twist and a nursing student named Mimi Jenson.
The evening started at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons and then the group "went to buy weed at a smoke shop on Olympic Blvd. in Hollywood,” the insider alleges. “Then they got food at McDonald’s and went back to the hotel.”
WARNING, Bieber fans: it's about to get a lot more scandalous!

The credits for Stoker, the new Chan-Wook Park movie that debuted at Sundance Sunday night, run backwards. Yes, instead of blooming up from the bottom of the screen and traveling up, they pour town from the top in a slow cascade. You'd think this wouldn't make that much of a difference, but it is extremely unsettling, seeing something you're so used to seeing but going in the opposite direction.


Likewise, in this world where spoiling the ending of a movie for someone is tantamount to cutting off one of their digits, I shouldn't be starting a review of a movie with the end, but I think that Stoker deserves it. When Park, who directed the brutal Oldboy, was introducing the movie, he said it is meant to be a dream or a fairy tale, but it is more like a waking nightmare. Everything is slightly off in the movie. Everything is either too large, too small, too modern, too old fashioned, too fast, too slow, too dirty, or too cleanly. It is our world, but tremendously askew, kiltering in one direction and then another, like trying to walk in a straight line after rolling down a hill.

The style only serves the story of India (Mia Wasikowska) who tells us at the beginning of the film that she has super powers: she can see far-away things clearly and hear sounds that no one else can hear. The morose teen gets even sadder when her beloved father dies in an accident and she is left in the care of her cold mother (Nicole Kidman) and her father's brother (Matthew Goode), who appears mysteriously after being absent for decades. The story unspools in unexpected ways as India starts to get interested in boys and discovers her sexuality thanks to the proximity of her handsome uncle. There are also several mysteries to unravel, each one leading to a new one with unexpected, horrible violence leading to even more violence until a shocking conclusion.

The performances are all stellar with Wasikowska telegraphing ever-shifiting emotion without barely saying a word. Kidman, who speaks much more, is at her finest as a disinterested mother. She shows fear and disdain in the most subtle ways, never overplaying a character that could turn into a campy arch villain with just the tiniest bit of scene-chewing. And Goode is the most menacing of all, the malevolent force that hides behind the facade not only of normalcy but of something attractive that you know is incredibly dangerous.

As for the meaning, I'm not sure what screenwriter Wentworth Miller (yes, the same guy who wore all those tattoos for seasons on Prison Break) is going for. Can this fairy tale can teach us anything about humanity or sexuality? The ending leads it in a direction that would take some of the more outrageous elements and turn them into a farce. It also makes the story more central to Wasikowska's character when the thing up until that point had been an exercise in showing us all how messed up our teen years can be.

But this isn't a farce, it is a fairy tale, complete with a girl in peril who has to fight to save herself. There's running through the woods, magical intervention, and everything we've come to expect for the 13 Snow White movies that came out last year. Still this is like a more chilling version of Beatlejuice, except this gothic fun house has none of the whimsy of Tim Burton. Here every strange perspective i meant to make you uncomfortable. Some of the elements of the story are so outrageous to be unbelievable and many will probably find this film to be groanworthy and insane in a bad way. Still it is unlike anything you've ever seen and will stick in your mind like a spider crawling across your skull. Love it or hate it, you'll be transfixed from beginning to end – when the credits start to roll backwards, making even your final moments with this film particularly off-putting.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills like to pretend that "Home Is Where the Art Is" but it's really where the spirits find their portals.  We recap who bought sexy mannequins and who channeled their inner 1980s dancer in our THG +/- review.

We pick up at that abysmal group dinner with Mauricio still making an ass out of himself.  Minus 20. Does Kyle invite Brandi to events just to watch other people yell at her?  I'm sensing a pattern here.

Note to all fans of Saved by the Bell: you may soon need a new pair of pants.

Simply put, Kelly Clarkson owned today's Presidential Inauguration.
The former American Idol champion impressed anyone with a pulse via her rendition of "My Country Tis of Thee" and, at one point during her performance, was photobombed by Bill Clinton.
No... really! See for yourself:
Granted, the ex-President might not really be going for a photobomb here. But can we all pretend like he is?

Stylish First Lady Michelle Obama looked radiant as always during her husband Barack Obama's inaugural address and ceremony in D.C. today.
She stepped out wearing a custom Thom Browne navy coat and dress, which reportedly "was developed based on the style of a men's silk tie."
For yesterday's swearing-in ceremony, Michelle wore a dress and cardigan by Reed Krakoff, a necklace by Cathy Waterman and shoes and a belt from J. Crew.
Michelle Obama has become a fan of the fashion-forward Browne as of late, sporting another look from the designer at a presidential debate in October.
And just like their mother, budding fashionistas Sasha and Malia Obama looked chic in Kate Spade and J. Crew, respectively.

While Kourtney Kardashian bikini pictures are plastered around various tabloids, and Kim Kardashian talks incessantly about her figure, Khloe Kardashian is mostly content to let her sisters obsess over their weight.
How come?
"A few years ago I lost 30 pounds, and people still wanted to criticize," Khloe told Glamour in a recent chat, adding of her self-confidence:
"I’m happy with myself if I’m a little heavier. I realized: Why am I trying to conform to someone else’s idea of beauty? I think I’m beautiful either way."
