So Lea Michele, that girl on that show that I've never watched, has made a bunch of statements about body image and weight and looks and other things that are just plain dangerous for a teen star who recently lost of a ton of weight to be making. While her message seems to be good, her actions don't really match up. What happens when an actress who looks like she weighs 110 pounds says that she's trying to give girls of the world self-confidence by embracing her flaws? A bunch of totally idiotic statements.
From PopEater:
On why being Italian has freed her of Hollywood's pressure to be perfect: "I come from a big Italian family and the pressure is not really anything I've been raised to feel."
On her 'Jewish nose': "I've always been proud of my body, my Jewish nose and all of that. Hollywood's Hollywood, but that's not going to change."
On why her ethnicity almost kept her off of television: "I never really thought there would be a place on television for me. I have a very specific look. I'm Jewish. I'm Italian."
On Barbara Streisand's 'Jewish nose': "I remember looking up to Barbara Streisand, and thinking, 'Finally, someone who has a Jewish nose, who didn't get a nose job.'"
On what she hopes all of this talk of dissing her ethnicity and acting like her body is normal will do: "If that is inspiring and can give young girls a sense of confidence, that's great."
First of all, I love that this chick says she looked at Babs and said, "Finally." As if there was ever a point in her life where Barbara Streisand was not a super, mega-famous star. Babs has been famous since peanut butter was invented.
Secondly, is this chick high? No place for unconventional looking women in television and film? Nicki Blonsky? Jennifer Grey? Heather Matarazzo? You guys have anything to say about that? I bet Jennifer Grey does. I bet Jennifer Grey would tell you that lopping off her "Jewish nose" was what actually killed her career.
What I think Miss Lea needs to do is go rent herself a copy of Precious and reevaluate her definition of a unique looking woman making it in Hollywood, 'cause despite what a strange flower she thinks she is, I'm pretty sure I saw fifteen girls just like her at the mall last week. Dumbass. />So Lea Michele, that girl on that show that I've never watched, has made a bunch of statements about body image and weight and looks and other things that are just plain dangerous for a teen star who recently lost of a ton of weight to be making.

Teri Hatcher stopped using botox and from the looks of it, she also stopped using her damn mind. I found a Facebook album of nine photos of Teri in terrycloth (like, she literally just got out of the shower), talking about the state of her face and botox usage. Um, perhaps she took the name "Facebook" a bit too literally?
The above photo had the following caption:
Out of the bath getting ready for bed. Thought about all those damn critics of my face. Love it or hate it, my face that is, no surgery, no implants, no matter what "they" say. Decided I'd shoot myself in to reveal some truths about "beauty" and hope it makes you all easier on yourself.
Alright, well, we've known older ladies in Hollywood to make declarations like this for some time, but the hits just kept coming. There are eight more pictures with similar captions, all taken at arms length like a MySpace profile default from 2004.
Check out the gallery below, or wander over to Teri's Facebook page for the full effect.

So, Michelle Williams has been blowing it up big time over the past few years, just churning movies out like butter, and the buck did not stop with Blue Valentine. Her latest project? A movie called Take This Waltz, which, according to IMDB ('cause I hadn't heard of it 'til I saw the behind-the-scenes stills) is supposed to be a "funny, bittersweet and heart-wrenching story about a woman struggling to choose between two different types of love."
I love independent films, and moreover, I've been a big fan of 'major' celebrities like Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling (Lars and the Real Girl? Awesome.) doing a lot of underground movies over the past few years. It's bringing cinema back as an art, not just as, "Hey, let's bring Jennifer Aniston or Cameron Diaz into some random movie plot and make it a zany romantic comedy, OK, but a different zany romantic comedy, not the same old-same old that we've seen sixty-five-thousand times already." Oh, wait. Dammit.
Yeah, and in case you couldn't tell from the photos, Sarah Silverman's in the movie, too. And Seth Rogen, though he's actually not pictured. But I could really give a crap less about either of them, anyway.

And no, not with his estranged wife, with whom divorce hasn't even been finalized yet. Remember I wrote this story last month about 'Who'd want to leave Frasier Crane?' Well, it looks like his wife -- who I originally pit the blame on because she was a former Playboy Playmate, and fidelity usually isn't in their vocabulary (thanks for that, Hef) -- may have actually left Grammer because Grammer impregnated a 29-year-old girlfriend by the name of Kayte Walsh, which is now confirmed news, by the way. Walsh is a British Air flight attendant, whose father recently addressed the rumors that his daughter and Grammer were shacking up.
I mean, I know that a lot of people don't give a crap about Kelsey Grammer, and he hasn't been too relevant in mainstream celebrita (yes, I made that word up) since Cheers and then Frasier, but you've gotta love it when stars go all Jerry Springer and have children with people who could be their daughters, behind their wife's naked-posing-for-men's-magazines backs. />And no, not with his estranged wife, with whom divorce hasn't even been finalized yet.

“Of course, the ideal scenario for parenting is obviously two parents of a mature age. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs on earth. And, of course, many women dream of finding Prince Charming (with fatherly instincts), but for those who’ve not yet found their Bill O’Reilly, I’m just glad science has provided a few other options.”
Har-har-har, cute, Jennifer Aniston. I just love your Susy Sunshine-brand of humor. No, but really, all joking aside: Bill O'Reilly is an asshat. (Read: His head is so far up his ass that he could wear his ass -- as a hat -- should he so desire.) And I agree 100% with Jennifer Aniston on her initial remarks about parenting, because all she was really saying was that the face of the 'traditional' family is changing. Which it is, and will continue to do so as long as humans and society continue to evolve. And there's not a whole lot wrong with that. I'm not siding with the fact that a lot of people say that a single-parent family is where it's at, 'cause I do believe that the optimal situation would be for two loving parents to be present in a home, raising a child with the greater good in mind. But not every situation can pan out in the way we all individually see fit.
I'm not sticking up for Bill O'Reilly -- because we are not friends, and I am not a fan -- but I have one final point: if Jennifer Aniston was a mother, and not a totally self-sufficient multi-million-dollar money-making movie star -- oh, and a single mom, too -- she might feel differently.
Can this whole 'battle' be over now? />“Of course, the ideal scenario for parenting is obviously two parents of a mature age. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs on earth.

I didn't make it out to last night's Lady Gaga show at the Staples Center here in Los Angeles, but after seeing these photos, I get the gist. And per usual, I'm more impressed than I thought I'd be. My love/hate relaysh with Gaga will continue on. These photos are hard to take my eyes off of, but that's probably only because they don't have audio attached.
Was anyone at the show last night? Have you caught Lady Gaga in another city or are you planning to?

With the exception of singing, George Michael's greatest talent appears to be getting arrested. Yeah, the dude got arrested for drug possession again. He also got cited for driving drunk. Drunk and driving around with drugs over and over again. This guy is like an older, male Lindsay Lohan. So Michael Lohan, basically. But British.
Granted, George was found with just a little bit of weed this time (it could have been a lot worse), but with a 2007 arrest for driving while on prescription medication, this will probably keep him off the road for some time. He's also been busted for crack possession, but he wasn't driving that time. And of course we can't forget that he was caught boning some old man in a public park.
I'm beginning to think that George has a punch card for jail or something. Like, maybe he thinks if he visits ten times, he gets a ten dollar credit at the commissary. Or something.
Also, you probably won't regret watching this:
Our little girl is all grown up, you guys! Hilary Duff is totally marrying that hockey player dude Mike Comrie this weekend in Santa Barbara. And it's going to be a mad classy affair, too. The couple chose the San Ysidro Ranch, which was the honeymoon spot of John and Jackie. Historic for days.
If you barely remembered that Lizzie McGuire is even engaged, then check out these photos of Mike presenting her with a one mili dollar diamond ring in Hawaii last year.
Also, do you guys think Lalaine is going to the wedding? Hope so. />Our little girl is all grown up, you guys!

Rihanna's latest tattoo reads "rebelle fleur," which translates to "rebel flower," just in case you couldn't piece that together. Cute, right? I could see how Rihanna could be considered a rebel flower. The problem is, however, that the wording isn't exactly correct:
The music superstar's newest ink reads "rebelle fleur," but someone forgot to tell the 'Rude Boy' singer that in French, adjectives typically follow the nouns they modify. To translate as "rebel flower," which we assume is what she intended, that tattoo should read "fleur rebelle."
I never took French - instead I opted to take Spanish with the eccentric woman from Panama who did not have her issues under control and didn't so much teach us Spanish as she did tell us about how the government killed her family - but I'm going to trust the Internet on this one. I'm not going to hate on Rihanna though. As far as questionable tattoos go, it could be a lot worse. />Rihanna's latest tattoo reads "rebelle fleur," which translates to "rebel flower," just in case you couldn't piece that together.

Oh, Mischa Barton. Crazy, kooky Mischa Barton -- Mischa Barton of marijuana and pants of both unfortunate color and rise. You slay me.
Mischa was photographed earlier this week partying in St. Tropez (I didn't know that out-of-work actresses with drug habits could feasibly afford St. Tropez, whoa) with her latest boyfriend, DJ Ali Love, clearly smoking a joint and wearing my paisley scrunchie from 7th grade around her wrist.
Doesn't she look great, guys?
