According to X17 (via Celebuzz), Lindsay Lohan just might have a new fella in her life!
Meet 21-year-old Henry Hopper. He just finished shooting a movie called Tar. He is French Stewart's stepson. And! He is Dennis Hopper's son. I know!
Unfortunately, Lindsay claims there is no truth to the rumor they are an item. Furthermore, she would prefer that I not re-report that a liquor store clerk TOTALLY saw her kissing Henry Hopper.
The Hollywood Gossip:
Lindsay acknowledges she was at the party at...
Well, this is… miserable. Just when you thought Amy Winehouse was finally free to rest in peace, scandal comes along and stirs everything up again.
According to the Associated Press, the coroner who examined Winehouse's death might not have been qualified to even be a coroner, at least in England. The coroner in question, Suzanne Greenaway, resigned from her post earlier today, after her "qualifications were questioned."
Winehouse's relatives said they were still absorbing the implic...
You have to admit, way back in the 1990s Gwyneth Paltrow had a fresh-faced earnestness that really was sort of alluring. (I used to do a Clueless/Emma sleepover double-feature, and Gwyneth Paltrow is cute as a bug. No kidding!)
So I cannot imagine anyone cheating on poor Gwyneth, least of all when she was in the prime of her rosy-cheeked youth. In the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar Paltrow names no names, but she does allude to a certain boyfriend who caused her strife:
"I had a boyfriend who used to...
Adaptation was on HBO the other night, and I realized I'd forgotten what a versatile actor Nicolas Cage can be. Then Moonstruck came on right after, and I fell in love with him all over again. How could I have forgotten Leaving Las Vegas? Raising Arizona?
No, I know. It's easy to forget to take him seriously, thanks to this supercut (NSFW) and that hairline.
Empire Magazine somehow convinced Nic to go live on a "webchat," fielding questions from fans in real-time. I admit I have never laugh...
Years went by before I really understood the appeal of Kristen Bell. I don't know! I didn't watch Veronica Mars, OK? But every time she appears on Craig Ferguson's show, I just kind of die. Take the pre-taped Parisian episode, for example: Kristen Bell is running around in a striped shirt and a beret. And then they all go to dinner with Jean Reno and it's like whaaaaat.
Anyway, the story is this. Kristen Bell celebrated her 31st birthday last July. Dax Shepard surprised her by inviting a sloth---YES, A SLOTH---to the party. Kristen Bell loves sloths. Oh, my God.
So when Kristen Bell realized there was a sloth in the house, she could not function.
"I start to have a full-fledged panic attack," she tells Ellen DeGeneres. "I don't---I don't know how to compete with all this emotion, so I just kind of crawl up on the bed, and I'm crying so hard.
"And Dax knocks on the door, and he has a video camera, and he's like, 'Surprise! I want you to come onto the---are you all right?!'---and sees me basically fetal on the bed."
Yes. Yes, Kristen Bell brought the footage.
Skip to 2:03 if you want to see Kristen Bell bats---t hysterical. She has completely lost her mind.
It is really sweet, but also terrible. When she barely ekes out an "I'm so excited!" at Dax, it's, like, lung-collapsingly funny.
"I mean, I needed to be sedated, clearly," Bell sighs. />

This is what they're teaching our kids. You wonder why we've got a bunch of Occupy Wall Street people walking around all around the country---they've been indoctrinated, literally, for years by this kind of stuff. Whether it was Captain Planet or Nickelodeon's Big Green Help, or The Day After Tomorrow, the Al Gore-influenced movie, all of that is what they're teaching, is that corporations is bad, the oil industry is bad, and ultimately what they're telling kids is what they told you in the movie The Matrix: that mankind is a virus on poor old mother Earth.
The Muppets Movie just premiered in London, and Kermit and Miss Piggy answered questions during a press conference. One journalist asked whether the two had any response to FOX News's recent allegations of "brainwashing" kids to hate "Big Oil."
Kermit describes FOX's assertion as "categorically not true.
"And besides, if we had a problem with oil companies, why would we have spent the entire film riding around in a gas-guzzling Rolls Royce?"
Miss Piggy interjects: "It's almost as laughable as accusing FOX News as, uh… y'know, being news!"
"Boy, that's gonna be all over the Internet!" Kermit admonishes her. "You are in such deep water!"
"Yeah," she says dismissively. "Yeah, if they take what I say seriously, they've got a real big problem."
You guys, this actually happened. Mind-blowing. />
Remember last month when FOX News accused the newest Muppets movie of being anti-American?
At the time, Dan Gainor of the Media Research Center went on the record saying:

I have a bone to pick with Celebitchy. Ordinarily we are on the same page, but this time, the blog has gone TOO FAR. The headline there reads "Christina Aguilera Embarrasses Herself at Etta James' Funeral." WRONG.
Now, it is true that Aguilera's version of Etta James' "At Last" was overwrought. It is true that the girl knows how to wail. It is also true that, when Aguilera's voice finally drops, low and soft, you wonder why the entire song couldn't have been demure instead of brash. And lastly, it is true that Christina's bronzer started to run. Gross.
So while I agree the song could have been soft and sweet, it was instead very Christina. Fine.
But it would be so terrifying to sing such a famous song at such an important event, I'm figuring. How can you give a song like that your "own spin"? How do you make it your own?
Christina Aguilera has long been one of my favorite voices, and anyway, you gotta know your audience. This girl knows her audience, for sure, because when she concludes her vocal acrobatics, the audience cheers and jumps to its feet. Christina got a standing ovation! How many people can say they got a standing ovation at a funeral? I ask you.
Now, if I were to change any one thing about Christina's performance, I would add another camisole to her ensemble. I mean, seriously. The boobs, Christina! Put them away!
What do you guys think? Am I wrong? Is Celebitchy's take more on the money? Did Christina Aguilera showboat at Etta James' funeral?
Or did Christina Aguilera hit all the right notes? />

Uh, OK. So, Nickelback.
No, I know. Me, too. Like, everyone, all of us. We all do.
There's no point in discussing it, even. You just sigh, change the dial for about three minutes, and then you dial back again. See? Like, you barely even have to actively hate the music. The band is just kind of everywhere, ubiquitous and permanent, like a type of tree. It's just this thing you step around.
Nickelback is a pretty popular punching bag. In 2005, NPR's All Things Considered did this tota...
I'm still reeling from the Oscar nominations; among others, there is the distinct exclusion of Michael Fassbender. Maybe Shame isn't the Academy's style---it's a relentless sex nightmare about one man's existential emptiness---but word on the street is, Fassbender deserved a mention for his revelatory, uh, performance.
(And, well, you know, people did mention other things about Fassbender, but I still haven't seen Shame; I am having trouble weighing how much I won't enjoy the movie against ho...
So, uh, here's a weird one.
Let me preface by saying I love Nick Stahl. Oh my God, do I loooo-oooove Nick Stahl. He replaced Eddie Furlong as John Connor in Terminator 3, and he is totally terrifying in Sin City. (My mom might remember him, in the meantime, from the maudlin Mel Gibson tearjerker Man Without a Face. She loves that movie.)
So Nick Stahl is pretty cool, but he also made Mirrors 2, which is a polite way of saying, um, maybe he's a little short on dough.

Okay, you guys. I have a little hypothetical question, here. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY, okay, if I were to tell you, okay, that---rumor has it---a certain five-piece girl group is maybe planning to reunite?!?!?!
Would you scream? Would you cheer? Would you start tearing through your apartment, looking for that glittery Union Jack T-shirt you used to wear? (I completely wish I were kidding.)
The initial rumor was, maybe this girl group would reunite for the Olympics; now the rumor is, they mig...
I'm so happy there is a UK. Actually, Graham Norton isn't technically British, huh. He is Irish, though! And so is handsome Liam Neeson, star of the new movie The Grey! So I'm happy there is an Ireland, is what I'm saying.
Have you guys seen the trailer for The Grey, by the way? It has something to do with Alaska and a plane crash and some wolves. Actually, The Grey is in hot water over its portrayal of the Gray Wolf as some sort of killing machine---wolves, and especially gray ones, are endangered, you guys. I know this because when I was a kid I had a wolf poster on my bedroom wall. Also, a photograph of Judi Dench.
Where was I? Ah, yes. I love Graham Norton. He's really twerpy, and he does it very, very well.
In this clip from last night's episode of The Graham Norton Show, an audience member makes a very compelling case that she is Mr. Neeson's first-ever fan (she has brought along a letter that he sent her 30 years ago!).
Her request: will he rerecord the greeting on her voicemail?
Needless to say, Liam Neeson does so, and with aplomb. />
