Just Because I Have a Thing For James Franco October 28, 2009WendieJames Franco James Franco: Gucci Commercial Outtakes from James Franco I cannot lie. I have a thing for James Franco; I've been trying to avoid it because a few people told me that they thought my oldest son looks like James Franco. So I'm having my fantasies, my Francosies, and all of a sudden my kid's face pops up out of the blue. Absolutely. Horrible. Anyway, I've decided that I don't think my spawn looks anything like Franco, which frees me up to lick my laptop screen during all four-and-a-half m...
Matthew Broderick Sucks October 28, 2009WendieMatthew Broderick According to Gatecrasher, audiences who attended Monday's preview performance of Matthew Broderick's new play were ready to shoot "The Starry Messenger." When a Broadway-bound show does a preview, you can expect that there will still be some kinks to work out, however Broderick's performance was plagued from the beginning. The actor didn't know his lines and had to ask for a prompt ten times in the first act. It could be a loooooong week for the actor, as shows are scheduled through Friday. "Broderick should be fined for this sort of thing," one angry user wrote. "The theater, the producers, Kenneth Lon...
This Is It Premiere Red Carpet October 28, 2009WendieMichael Jackson, Uncategorized As expected, last night turned out a huge amount of celebs attending the This Is It L.A. premiere. (Lionel Richie actually attended the premiere in Japan, but who can resist a picture like that?) I know Michael Jackson's premature and unexpected death was tragic, but is there anything more tragic than Paris Hilton's Paula Abdul's cleavage? I'll just answer my own question: Yes. The status of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy's relationship is the most tragic as evidenced by las...
Just Another Good Reason to Buy a Mac October 28, 2009WendieFamily Guy I already knew that the people over at Microsoft were idiots. That fact has been confirmed to me every single time that I've powered up my Vista-platform PC. One day, after Vista/Internet Explorer had me trying to fashion a noose with my power cord, I smartened up and went Mac. But that isn't really the point. The point is that the people at Microsoft are idiots. The software company committed to single-handedly sponsoring a Family Guy special due to air on November 8th. Apparently, they just heard the title of the show and thought that it was a ...
Tacky Or Not? October 27, 2009WendieChris Farley, David Spade Wow, some people are completely pissed off about this new DirecTV ad featuring David Spade and the late Chris Farley. Farley's role is spliced together from his movie Tommy Boy and David Spade appears to be having a conversation with him. We've had everyone from Fred Astaire to Nat King Cole peddling soda -- and don't believe for a second that we won't see Michael Jackson doing the same in the next few years -- so I don't understand all the controversy. If the estate is being paid, why shouldn't dead...
Beet’s Two Greatest Loves Unite October 27, 2009WendieTaylor Lautner, Taylor Swift There have been rumors for a few weeks, but now it seems like there may actually be some truth to those whispers. Could Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner be dating? They were seen together at a hockey game at the Staples Center on Sunday -- way to keep it under wraps, guys. Swift is 19 and Lautner is 17 and they've probably been dating for a few weeks -- so a relationship that's both young and young. And for the record, I'm totally behind the Taylor/Taylor duo ... haven't seen anything that cute since, well...
Drunk And Drunker October 27, 2009WendieLindsay Lohan, Paula Abdul Lindsay Lohan and Paula Abdul were canoodling last night at Richard Branson's Rock the Kasbah party -- oh who even cares where they were? -- and seemed quite chatty. Can you even imagine what a conversation between these two would sound like? LL: Hi, Paula. I'm a really big fan. I hope to attain your level of tolerance celebrity one day. PA: Linds! Rock on! You just *unintelligible slur* need to believe in yourself. Don't ever forget that! LL: I know. I'm working too ...

Well What Did You Expect For a Freebie? October 26, 2009WendieLindsay Lohan Remember how Lindsay was "hired" as a creative consultant at Ungaro? And remember how the collection showed at Fashion Week and was pure, sequined, heart-shaped crap? Um, LL did that for free. Yeah, the details are out today and it turns out that the creative consultant gig was not a paid gig. It's funny to me that she was trashing Ungaro's already tarnished image and wasn't even being paid for it, save some free clothes. Well, at least she has her music career to fall back on. Oh, w...
Suri Finds A Sleeve October 26, 2009WendieKatie Holmes, Suri Cruise, Tom Cruise I know you've all been concerned, so I wanted to keep you updated on Boston's weather. It's warmed up over the past few days, we even have a rose in full bloom out in the yard. With the rising temperatures, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have decided to start putting little Suri in tights and long sleeves. Expect wool sweater coats and cashmere leggings next June!

Hollywood Honcho Gives Heave Ho To Scientology October 26, 2009WendieScientology Paul Haggis has written and/or directed a bunch of successful movies including Million Dollar Baby, Crash, Letters From Iwo Jima, Quantum of Solace and Terminator: Salvation. He's also been a Scientologist for the past thirty years. Over the weekend, a copy of a letter he sent to Tommy Davis (the head of the Scientology Celebrity Centre) leaked on to the Internet. It's a long, long letter in which Haggis denounces the Church of Scientology for their support of Prop 8. Paul also alludes to t...
Three Hundred. Thousand. Dollars. October 26, 2009WendieJude Law Well, it didn't take Samantha Burke long to whore out some photos of her daughter Sophia, the product of a short-lived tryst with Jude Law. In a way, isn't it lovely that Burke agreed to appear on the cover of Hello! magazine to the tune of more than a quarter of a million dollars? Jude hasn't met his daughter yet, so this is a good way for him to get a gander at the child. When asked about plans for Law to meet Sophia, Burke replied "There are no plans for it to happen at the moment, but I know he's busy."...
