Renee Zellweger Turns 40 Gracefully
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Style, Birthdays,
Renee Zellweger insists turning 40 hasn’t affected her career.
The My One and Only star, who celebrated the landmark birthday in April, believes that her quirky appearance will always land her roles, regardless of her age.
Asked if she had noticed more exciting parts drying up, she said, “It’s so hard to comment because I don’t see it. I don’t know. I’m so spoiled with respect to the experiences I’ve had and the opportunities I’ve had that I don’t see it. I’ve never been that girl who is dependent on how fabulous my hair is or my stature or that I look good in order to work. So I don’t really think about it in those terms.”
The actress insists the only bad thing about turning 40 is that people are expecting her to feel differently about life: “I’m so sad that everyone keeps pointing to this birthday, ‘You had this birthday, how do you feel now?’ I’m thinking, ‘I feel nothing different.’”

Madonna Shows Brotherly Love
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Divorce, Kind Acts, Rumors,
Madonna is making moves to reconcile with her brother.
The “Miles Away” singer fell out with Christopher Ciconne over a tell-all book he wrote about the star, which alleged her then husband Guy Ritchie was a homophobe and blamed him for the breakdown of his relationship with his sister.
Madonna was outraged with the publication of Life With My Sister Madonna last year, but is now making steps toward speaking with her brother again—and has sent him tentative emails.
“Madonna did it more for her family than for herself. Her feud with Chris was creating huge tension within the family so she decided to be the bigger person. At one point Madonna wanted all the family to cut off Chris, but her father wasn’t willing. It’s been a nightmare ever since. She’s calmed down about the book and had time to think. She realizes blood is thicker than water and has said she will meet with him this year in LA,” a source told Britain’s Sunday Mirror.

Although he’s known for his wild antics on set, Gerard Butler endearingly gave Jennifer Aniston a ceramic chicken!
The 39-year-old actor stunned his The Bounty co-star with the thoughtful gift during their first day of shooting the new movie.
A source said, “Jennifer and Gerard already knew each other quite well after meeting several years ago through friends in Hollywood. On the first day of making The Bounty, Gerard had remembered that Jennifer had once told him she collected chicken memorabilia for her kitchen, so he bought her a ceramic rooster and gave it to her on set—she loved it!”
Gerard and Jennifer have not yet confirmed they are dating, but have been seen on a series of romantic dinner dates. While promoting his last movie The Ugly Truth, Gerard refused to be drawn on their relationship, but did speak glowingly about the 40-year-old actress: “She has a lot of sexy things about her. She’s really down to earth and very sharp and witty.”
Adam Sandler Looks Good in a Dress

Funny man Adam Sandler likes dressing up as a princess.
The Bedtime Stories star—who has two daughters with his wife Jacqueline, three-year-old Sadie Madison and 10-month-old Sunny Madeline—entertains his children by wearing different outfits when he reads them fairy tales.
The 42-year-old actor said, “I often slip into costume as the lead character in whatever bedtime story I am reading. This is a little weird because my daughters love Disney princesses, but you would be surprised at how good I look in a ball gown.”
Adam isn’t the only Hollywood star who enjoys donning women’s clothes. Liev Schreiber, 41, recently revealed he became obsessed with his body hang-ups when he wore a dress for a movie role: “It was exhilaratingly humiliating. But I completely became giddy in a strange way the moment I put on the dress. Vanity quickly set in, and I thought to myself, ‘I wish my belly was flatter. Let’s face it, I don’t look great in a dress, but it’s nice to hear I have nice legs.”
T-shirt avoider Mark Ronson has the spirit of an 80-year-old man.
The 34-year-old music producer rented a Cadillac car when he first passed his driving test, but admits that his choice of vehicle could have been more daring.
“When I got my license I leased a Cadillac, because my inner driving spirit is that of an 80-year-old man. You always see old people in America driving them really slowly because they’re so uncomfortable. It’s like being in a hovercraft.”
Mark also revealed he is scared of performing live because he fears people will shout expletives at him if he messes up: “All I expect is for someone to yell out, ‘You’re a f***ing w****r!’ You do have that fear, it comes from the same place that makes me shake uncontrollably before I go on stage. I think it’s partly nerves, but it’s partly what keeps you on your toes.”
Although Mark has dated a string of beautiful women, including British model Daisy Lowe, he doubts his ability to seduce females that he finds attractive.
He told Esquire: “I’ve never been the kind of person out on the prowl bedding different girls every night. I went through a two-week phase, but it was really awful. The “man about town” thing is so cliched—I’d hate to think that I was subscribing to any idea of what someone in my position should be like. There’s also the slight problem that the type of girl I go for would be way less likely to like me because I’m Mark Ronson. They’d much rather be talking to a Klaxon in the corner.”
Michael Fassbender Loves Leather Speedos
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Clothing, Style,
300 hunk Michael Fassbender likes wearing leather Speedos.
The Fish Tank actor, who dons a series of unusual outfits for his roles in forthcoming movies Jonah Hex and Centurion, refuses to limit himself to art house movies because he prefers the outfits he dons for big-budget films.
“I like doing both kinds of films. It doesn’t always have to be social commentary. Besides, I like running around in a leather Speedo.”
The actor also admits he is willing to tackle almost any film role if it feels right, and doesn’t worry about embarrassing himself in the process:
“I’ve been going on my gut pretty much from the beginning. I’m not always going to get it right, but risk interests me. There is some embarrassing element to everything I do in life. I used to beat myself up about it, but if you’re really going to learn and expand you’ve got to be open to doing things that perhaps don’t work out in the way you envisaged.”
British bad boy Pete Doherty once took so many drugs he thought that he was an air hostess.
The Babyshambles rocker began hallucinating after injecting horse tranquilizer ketamine while he was working on the band’s 2007 album Shotter’s Nation: “Snorting it is bad enough, but injecting it is the equivalent of… well, there is no explanation. One minute you’re a perfectly sane human being working on what should be an album you’re proud of and committed to—the next you’re an air hostess on an airplane bound for Portugal.”
Pete, 30, was dating British supermodel Kate Moss at the time, and claims the incident was one of the reasons for their split.
He explained to Britain’s Elle: “Imagine, there’s millions of you inside a little tube which is going up a dog’s ear. And your producer Stephen Street is carrying you from the toilets. And then your girlfriend turns up and starts shouting at Stephen Street, ‘What’s all this? What are you doing?’ Stephen’s like, ‘Oh f***ing hell, we’ve got a vocal to do.’ And I’m like, ‘Do you want another drink?’ Because I thought I was an air hostess.”
Kim Kardashian Broods, Blogs
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies, Rants, Rivalries,
Reality star and socialite Kim Kardashian is desperate for a baby.
The E! darling, whose sister Kourtney Kardashian is expecting her first child with partner Scott Disick, admits that shopping for her unborn niece or nephew has made her broody.
She wrote on her blog, “I want a baby!!!! OK, so maybe not right now, but I can’t wait to be an aunt!”
Kourtney has previously said that she is not sure whether she wants to find out the sex of her child before the birth, but Kim is adamant she should: “It’s really fun, but we have to stay neutral when you’re shopping for a baby and you don’t know what the sex of the baby is. I found that really hard… I just wanted to shop for pink or blue, haha! I want Kourt and Scott to find out already (sic)!!”
Kourtney, 30, revealed she was pregnant last month, and was unsure how her 28-year-old sister would react as Kim always wanted to be the first one to have kids. “I don’t think she’s envious. Who knows though—Kim gets mad if I get the car that she wants… she like freaks out! But she definitely thought it was going to be her first, trust me!” she said.
Gerard Butler posed for a photograph with a doughnut in his butt—how classy.
The Scottish-born actor loved starring in new sci-fi thriller Gamer so much he decided to thank the directors by sending them a sugary treat, but tricked the filmmakers into thinking the doughnut had been tampered with.
“I wrote to the two directors on Gamer separately. I wrote that me and the stunt guys are having a blast and sent them half a dozen doughnuts each as a thank you. They were so chuffed. The next day we got six fresh doughnuts and shoved them between our a*s cheeks… and took a Polaroid. We sent this snap to the directors and sure enough, they thought they’d been eating the very same sugary treats. They were freaked out man.”
Gerard, 39, admits his immature behavior was mirrored by the rest of the cast and crew on Gamer.
He added to Shortlist, “It was my birthday that day and about 10 of the cast dropped their trousers to reveal “Happy Birthday Gerry” written across their cheeks. Come to think of it, there was a little too much a*s in the making of this film.”
After jumping from record tracks to the big screen in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Will.i.am now aims for sports, proclaiming his desire to become an American football player.
The “Boom Boom Pow” rapper has taken to his blog to beg for a chance to try out for the Miami Dolphins: “I always wanted to play football, from the age of 10—that was my dream. I always loved the game of American football. I’m sad that I never followed my football dreams. Lately I’ve been thinking, is it too late to do it now? No way! I want to try out for the Miami Dolphins.”
The 34-year-old star goes on to boast about how quickly he can run—he even challenges 100m sprint world record holder Usain Bolt to a race—claiming his prowess would be an asset to any team.
Referring to former Atlanta Falcons running back Jamal Anderson, will.i.am claimed, “I’m very fast, beyond fast. I’ve raced Jamal Anderson and I smoked his a*s. I am extremely fast and I’m proud of it. I take pride in my cheetah speed. So I want to put this talent to use.”
