Hollywood Celebrities Gossips

Lady Gaga brought her controversial new song about Princess Diana, "Princess Die," to the Princess' home country at Twickenham Stadium in London Saturday.
Gaga explained that "Princess Die" is a commentary on the effects of fame, including Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston and even herself, to a degree.
"Since I was a very young girl, the people's princess was the most important person in me and my mother's life," Gaga said before performing the ballad.
"I swore if I ever had an audience like this in London, I'd take a moment to appreciate her ... This is for her, Amy Winehouse, Alexander McQueen, Whitney Houston and me."
True to Gaga's nature, the lyrics of the song are rather dark. Among them:
"Leave the coffin open when I go / Leave my pearls and lipstick on so everybody knows / Pretty will be the photo I leave / Laying down on famous knives so everybody sees."
Also true to form, Gaga invited a lucky female fan on stage for the performance, placing a tiara on the Little Monster's head as she sat beside her. Aww.

Chris Brown insists his absurd new neck tattoo is not Rihanna.
As always, we're never sure what to believe with these two.
Sources close to Chris say all similarities with Rihanna's face are coincidental, and that "it's just a random woman." Okay, but 1. Who the heck gets a random woman tattooed on their neck, and 2. That random woman totally looks like Rihanna.
Speaking of new ink, you gotta check out Rihanna's new under-boob tattoo in honor of her grandma. It's massive. As for Chris, the tat was implied the week before last, when Rihanna and Chris Brown kissed at the VMAs.

Another partially exciting season of Bachelor Pad is in the books, and the finale of ABC's guilty pleasure smash certainly packed in something for everyone.
Who won it all? Who broke up? Who got engaged?
Let's break it all down in THG's final BP recap ...
Kalon McMahon and Lindzi Cox are still together! Plus 20.
Erica Rose, in a desperate attempt to stay relevant, tells Lindzi to be careful because she's spotted Kalon at different events with other women. Minus 10.
Lindzi didn't know what to say or do. So, yeah. Minus 5.
Jaclyn said she was still hurt by being betrayed by her "best friend" Rachel on the last episode, when the latter did not take Jackie and Ed to the finale.
Rachel said Nick pushed to oust them because they would have been a bigger threat, which makes total sense. Jaclyn? Not altogether stable. Minus 50.
Blakeley Shea, or Blakeley Jones, or Blakeley Shea Jones ... whatever she wants to be called, she may not have won the money, but she won in love.
Seriously. She and Tony Pieper are still together! And then some! T-Piep surprised everyone, including his lady, with a proposal on stage! Plus 150.
She said yes, you guys. Obvi. Plus 10.

The best actor award was split between Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix for The Master.
Inspired by Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard, the film also picked up the Silver Lion prize for best director.
Directed by Paul Thomas Andersen, The Master tells the story of a sect leader who takes a war veteran under his wing.
Hoffman, who also collected Phoenix's award, said: "Joaquin Phoenix is a life force in this film ... and I kind of rode that life force and that was my performance.
"It was really riding his life force because it was something that was untameable and my job was to try to and it was almost impossible, which is kind of the movie."
He also praised Anderson, who was not at the ceremony, calling him: "Friend first, collaborator second. And he happens to be one of the great film-makers."
Pieta, directed by Kim Ki-duk, centres on a debt collector who is forced to examine his life when a woman turns up claiming to be his mother.
On accepting his award, Ki-duk sang a song to the audience while thanking the jury.
Speaking after, he said: "This is a song that we Koreans sing when we are sad, when we feel alone, when we feel desperate, but also when we're happy."
The Venice jury, which was headed by US director Michael Mann, picked Hadas Yaron for best actress for Fill the Void, a film delving into the life of an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community.

Will late-night, SNL and the cable shows have just as much fun?

After a three-year engagement, The Avengers' Cobie Smulders married SNL actor Taran Killam in California on Saturday.

According to People.com, the couple — who have been dating for eight years, and have a three-year-old daughter together — tied the knot at the Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort in the town of Solvang. Smulders' How I Met Your Mother costars Alyson Hannigan and Neil Patrick Harris were among the 300 guests who witnessed the quick 15 minute ceremony. After which partygoers were taken to the lakeside reception by hay ride. The cost to rent the place for the night? $43,000. 

Good thing the couple both return to work later this month: the new season of SNL airs on Sept. 15, and season 8 of HIMYM premieres Sept. 24. Sounds like they've already spent those paychecks!

There's a second step to early stardom that's hard to muster. You break in with a few movies that wow audiences; for Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, it was The Hangover and Winter's Bone (and a little thing called The Hunger Games. In an instant, both actors became household names — but could they keep up the critical momentum or were they one-hit wonders? That's the stage both are in now, starring in projects that prove they can carry their weight in any movie and knock it out of the park each time.
Well, good news for fans of Cooper or Lawrence: They're the real deal, their Toronto Film Festival premiere Silver Linings Playbook being solid, wildly entertaining of the two performer's talent.

A character drama with a twisted sense of humor, Silver Linings Playbook follows Pat (Cooper), a recently released psychiatric hospital patient who moves back in with his parents and begins a quest to reclaim his broken marriage. Despite the warnings from doctors Pat's mom Dolores (Jacki Weaver) and dad Pat Sr. (Robert De Niro) take him in, hoping familiar settings and a little Eagles football may be the perfect cure. It isn't — Pat continuously loses his s**t over his ex-wife Nikki, frantically stressing over her high school English classes reading syllabus (he toss Hemmingway's A Farewell to Arms straight through a glass window) and breaking down every time he hears their wedding song. There's no hope for him and Nikki — catching her with another man and beating him to a pulp led to his institutionalizing — but Pat's focus mind doesn't let him deviate.

After being invited to a friends house for dinner, Pat meets Tiffany (Lawrence), who sees a friendship in the bipolar patient. After the death of her husband, Tiffany went off the deep edge, engaging anyone and everyone for sex. She's sees a companion in Pat, and although he's reluctant, the off-kilter pair can't fight the magnetic power of their psychological issues. Most of their conversations end in screaming or blunt admissions — but they're relatable.

Mental illness and human connection may sound like an equation for eye-roll-worthy saccharine, but director David O. Russell mines Cooper and Lawrence's comedic strengths to turn Silver Linings Playbook into one of the funniest movies of the year. Nothing's off limits for Russell; one reoccurring joke is that Pat can't stop bringing up the fact that Tiffany's husband is dead. As Tiffany puts it to Pat, "You say more inappropriate things than appropriate thing." To make Pat aware of how his bipolar existence affects the people around him, and to make us, the audience, feel for this heart-wrenching experience, O'Russell shoots and paces Silver Linings Playbook for awkward comedy. He also returns to the always-reliable family dynamic. The Fighter is to Boston as Silver Linings Playbook is to Philadelphia, De Niro perfecting the Eagles-loving everyman with a collective of betting buddies who may just be as delusional as Pat. The legendary actor proved he had comedy chops in Meet the Parents, but here he blends it with gravitas that earned him a legacy in the first place. Rush Hour actor Chris Tucker also pops up as Pat's good friend from the institution. More restrained than ever, Tucker helps add warmth to the picture. Pat has a support system everywhere he turns. In turn, the film emanates with positive vibes.

Even with a great ensemble, Silver Linings Playbook is Cooper and Lawrence's show. To the bitter end, Pat and Tiffany never get sappy with one another, always at each other's throats over the feelings they harbor and the pasts they can't shake away. Cooper loses himself in the chaotic mind of Pat without ever slipping into a caricature of the mentally ill. He can have stir up laughs with his desperate search for Pat's missing wedding video and then shock us in the blink of an eye when things turn violent. Impressively, Lawrence's Tiffany is never written down. She never succumbs to being a comforting presence, always provoking Pat to push himself. She's a strong woman, but a strong woman juggling her own set of issues. Lawrence conveys all of that without missing a beat. That dynamic should be make Silver Linings Playbook the talk of the town come Oscar time.

Welcome to THG's Week in Review! Below, our staffers look back at the stories, stars and scandals that made the last seven days some of the craziest all year.
If you don't already, FOLLOW THG on Twitter, Google+, Tumblr and Facebook for news 24/7/365. Let us be your celebrity gossip source across the board!
Now, a rundown of the week that was at The Hollywood Gossip:

• Actor and all-around good guy Michael Clarke Duncan died at age 54.
• The iPhone 5 release date was totally announced! For next week!
• Amy Poehler and Will Arnett announced their separation.
• The world's first Snooki baby photo was released!

• It was probably nothing, but when Rihanna and Chris Brown kiss ...
• ... and she apparently calls Drake and Lil Wayne a$$holes ...
• ... the story dominates the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards.
• Even when a Breaking Dawn Part 2 clip is played

We interrupt the latest Miley Cyrus hair hullabaloo - OMG, she looks just like Pink, people! - to give fans an update regarding this singer's music career.
First, the artist has updated her official website to include a wealth of promotional photos in honor of her upcoming studio album, which is expected to drop in early 2013. An example:
Next, Cyrus has also released a cover of James Shelton‘s 1950s track “Lilac Wine” as part of the Backyard Sessions, which took place earlier this summer when the new blonde brought her band together to perform some of her favorite singles....

This is an interesting footnote to the kiss between Rihanna and Chris Brown at last night's MTV Video Music Awards ... she's apparently not a big Drake fan.
In the video below - taken seconds after Drake and Lil' Wayne and crew went to go claim their award for Best Hip-Hop Video - the camera zooms in on Rih.
She appears to be mouthing "I hate those a$$holes."

Sitting just a few seats down from Drake, Weezy and Nicki Minaj, Rihanna also refused to clap for the rapper when his name was announced Thursday.
Her (apparent) reaction is a bit of a surprise, since she and Drizzy were tight at one point, and yet not surprising, given that Chris Brown is the love of her life.
Or so Rihanna told Oprah, fighting back tears. Chris also sustained a nice gash on his face during the infamous NYC club brawl with Drake's crew this year.
That fight allegedly broke out over none other than Rihanna, who both are clearly obsessed with ... but who Drake disses hardcore in his video with 2 Chainz.
The long and short of it? Point, Chris Brown. Maybe.
