Jamie Foxx is Okay After Fight With Stalker

trix — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 20:02:00 GMT

What's up with Hollywood stalkers lately? They can't just sit by and innocently stalk anymore, they feel the need to attack?

First it was Shawn Johnson and now it's Jamie Foxx.

Jamie Foxx actually fought his stalker in his hotel room. The unknown male tried to break into his room, at least three times. The guy also claimed to be Beyonce's producer and Jamie had to physically fight with the guy to get him out of his room.

Thank goodness his kids weren't with him. That would be so traumatizing for them and Jamie might have had to take further action to protect his kids.

He did say that though he can't talk about it, he is fine and is glad that it's over.

Me too... How stressful and scary.

More Tina Fey As Sarah Palin? We Say Yes! She Says No!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 15:08:00 GMT

When Tina Fey opened the SNL season portraying Alaska Governor and vp candidate Sarah Palin, it was done so well, it was like she really was Palin. Fans loved it and now we want more! However, Tina Fey might be raining on our parade...

Fey picked up a cool three trophies on Sunday night's Emmy Awards for her part in 30 Rock - Outstanding Comedy Writing, Comedy Series and Lead Actress in a Comedy - and after the show, she was approached by reporters, who gave praise and asked about her contributions.

"I think our cast is diverse and talented," said Fey.

"We've had the greatest guest stars. Alec (Baldwin) elevates the show to another level with his abilities.

She was also given props for her portrayal of Sarah Palin on the SNL season opener, and the 38-year-old actress didn't think she actually looked much like Palin, until her 3-year-old daughter Alice saw Sarah on TV.

“I was very resistant to acknowledge that there was a resemblance,” Fey said.

"But then my kid saw her on TV and said, 'That's Mommy!'"

So will Fey woo us again with a Sarah skit? She'd prefer not to.

"I want to be done playing this lady Nov. 5. So if anybody can help me be done playing this lady Nov. 5, that would be good for me."

Let's hope she's kidding. We want more Fey as Palin!

Jodie Foster's Cheating Ways Will Cost Her $25 Million

Sassy Smith — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 12:36:00 GMT

Jodie Foster and her partner of 14 years, Cydney Bernard have called it quits - well, more specificially, Jodie left the relationship for another woman - writer/producer, Cynthia Mort. And her cheating ways may cost her $25 million clams!

Reportedly Jodie is trying to play nice so all of this stays out of the public eye (uh, it's not working?), and is doing her best to keep her ex content.

According to the National Enquirer, the 46-year-old actress could lose $25 million in alimony, which is about a quarter of her net worth. However, half of that, was earned while she and Cydney were together - meaning that Cydney could be entitled to that $25 million without a fight.

So Foster is doing whatever she can to keep the peace and she's apparently even trying to get Cydney and her current lover, Cynthia to be friends. *Ahem* Good luck with that!

An insider says, "She wants them to be friends. Jodie realizes that if Cydney perceives them to be one big happy family, she'd never sue for half her assets."

So far, Cydney gets to live free at one of Jodie's homes, gets invites to bashes held at Foster's house and gets to visit with her sons, Charles, 10, and Christopher, 6,. She's also receiving a six-figure income from Jody.

S'alright I guess but I think if I were entitled to $25 million clams, I'd be asking for it!

Interview: Nicole Kidman On Motherhood, Her Body & Tom Cruise

Karen — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 22:34:00 GMT

Scotland on Sunday held an interview with the now 41 year old actress, and it's an interesting read, to say the least.

On rumors that her weight is not healthy for her pregnancy:

Kidman said she has stuck to a rigorous training regime that includes sweating it out and doing yoga daily. "I'm so happy, I couldn't ask for anything – except bigger boobs," she joked. "I've wanted curves my whole life. I eat all the time but I don't change because of my physical make-up. I was even more scrawny as a kid."

On how motherhood has changed her:

"I am somebody who is attracted to dangerous things. It is something I have to fight in myself, especially now that I've got the kids. I'm a fanatical sport freak. I love being able to use my body in that way and used to do things like sky-diving rather than hiking which was definitely more sensible."

On how much she has always wanted a biological child (her two kids are adopted with Tom Cruise, as most people know):

"I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby. I am very close to my own family and I want my kids to have an Australian identity as well as an American one.

"It's interesting, as an actor, to raise kids because you set up home wherever you're working, almost always in a transitional period. It's crazy when you're all togged up in a glamorous costume and you're fixing a snack for the kids in your trailer or helping them with their homework."

On her split from actor Tom Cruise:

"Divorce from Tom was hell but it made me grow up. After the divorce, I did many things that interested me, as I was single and had been through a period of my life when I wasn't able to move around as much and explore, so I was able to 'catch up'."

On finding love with Keith Urban:

"I think we were two lonely people, who managed to meet at a time when we could open ourselves to each other. We were a mixture of frightened and brave," she says.

"Since getting married, I've 'passed' on things, cleared my schedule. I do not want to be living my life away from the person I love. I think I've settled into enjoying my life. I'm happy and I'm content."

On the 'career' of acting:

"I flinch at the word 'career,' she says, "because acting is all about your emotions. I love what I do. It is not a job. I never think about taking a role in relation to who I am, to who Nicole is," she muses. "That would not be pure, artistically. I don't know whether that's my biggest strength or weakness.

"I adore this job but it certainly takes its toll," she continues. "I think that making a film is like a boxing match – you have to take the punches and you can easily fall. I plan to slowly dwindle away, bring the train to a halt, when the time comes. I am not sure when the resources are going to run out in terms of what I have to offer.

"The life I lead is a burn-out life," she says, rearranging legs that are too long for the sofa. "From cracked ribs (in Moulin Rouge) to freezing in Romania (Cold Mountain) and being hospitalised after a car chase went wrong (Invasion). You have to step away from it because you are required to give so much of yourself to do it well. I don't mind stepping away when I need to and going to ground. Or doing a comedy to re-stoke."

On being a celebrity and the fame that comes with it:

"I hate the interest in celebrities that comes with it. Being recognised is part of the territory. I was a kid who waited to see Abba. And I have been in that position. I remember also being taken to the set of The Year of Living Dangerously by a production designer friend of ours. I saw Mel Gibson from afar and I shrieked: 'He looked at me!' He has no recollection – I was about ten.

"I try to make contact and go over and shake someone's hand. I think it is important to remember where you are at, and where you come from, so you never get trapped in the world you work in. I have tried to not court celebrity.

"In New York I go around without an 'entourage'. I am always with my kids, walk quickly, with my hair pulled back, and I can make myself invisible. I do most things. I go to the cinema with my kids just like any other member of the public. We love all going away to have a bit of an adventure together, away from the bright lights.

"When I was single and bringing up my two older children I tended to take one day at a time. As a single parent, I think you do your best and hope it will be good enough. And you know something? I found that usually it is good enough."

On what her kids think or her job:

"As a kid I hated any sort of unconventional stuff because you want to conform. I was embarrassed by it. I was not one of those kids that wanted to stand out. I was 5ft 10in when I was 11 years old and had the awful nickname of 'Storky'. I was also white as a sheet in bronzed surfer paradise Australia.

"I didn't need any more humiliation, such as my feminist mother. But my kids seem incredibly willing and easy about it all. They don't seem to give a damn about what I do."

On her work as a Goodwill Ambassador with Unifem, a women's advocate organization:

"Obviously, I'm emotionally connected to this," Kidman says of her Unifem role. "I think it's very important. At the same time, I'm a mother. I have a child on the way… and a lot of it is realising the things that are wrong and what I can contribute to help my children have a better life, and to help other children around the world have a better life.

"I believe if people are given the information, most of them will say, 'I had no idea – what can I do to help?' Awareness is just the first step."

On her plans for the future:

"When I get older, I am going to veer in the direction of hedonism and live somewhere like Tuscany, surrounded by my grandchildren, and rest and dance and eat and drink and read and sit up over big home-cooked meals, talking late into the night in different languages. I want to age gracefully and naturally."

On aging (and how she keeps that youthful look):

"To be honest, I am completely natural," Kidman has said. "I have nothing in my face or anything. I wear sunscreen, and I don't smoke. I take care of myself. I'm proud to say that."

On rumors of her having plastic surgery:

(She claims to have only ever had laser eye treatment, as she was walking around legally blind.) "I don't judge those who have had treatments. Anybody can do anything to their bodies. I'm just lucky that I get to change my looks in every film and get paid to do so! I love being an actor – that is my commitment and my passion. But there are other things I want to do in life, so many that to list them all would be trivial," she says.

On her career plans:

"As an actor I think you suffer from burnout after a time because you give so much of yourself. I look at it as something that will finish in its own time. It wouldn't be, 'Oh, now I am suddenly going to quit.' It will just slowly just dwindle away…"

"I will make more films in Australia, like the new Baz (Moulin Rouge) Luhrmann-directed film called Australia which I made while Keith was away touring. It is set in the remote Northern Territory during the Japanese attack on Darwin during World War II. I play an English woman feeling overwhelmed by the continent.

"But I'd also like to learn Russian so one day I could play Chekhov's Uncle Vanya on stage." She giggles. "I can see the critics already dipping their pens in vitriol!"

On her plans with husband Keith Urban:

"Keith and I would really love to have a big family," she says, "but I am so happy right now I couldn't ask for anything more."

Jodie Foster Dumps Longtime Girlfriend - Gets New Girlfriend

Sassy Smith — Thu, 22 May 2008 18:04:00 GMT

Jodie Foster, 47, and long-time love of 14 years, Cydney Bernard, have reportedly split and it may be that another woman has swept Jodie off of her feet. Foster and Bernard have two children together - Charlies, 9, and Kit, 6.

The National Enquirer claims a source said, "Jodie breaking up with Cydney is shocking. Right now it's the best kept secret in Hollywood, and it's not just because Jodie is a legend and an intensely private person, either. She and Cydney have been together for so many years and have two children together, the potential fallout and legal wrangling from this split could be monumental."

Cindy Mort, a producer and screenwriter is the new woman in Jodie's life. She is the former partner of thirtysomething's Melanie Mahron and they have two children together. Complicated situation!

Jodie and Cindy met on the set of Foster's 2007 movie The Brave One and it's rumored that their fling began before Jodie's split with Cydney.

Cydney and Jodie are still living together but an insider said, "Although she and Cydney remain under the same roof at the moment, the relationship has been shattered."

The will, however, continue to raise their two sons together and do their best to keep a "loving family unit" despite their separation.

What Pretty Celebrity Mom Is Hitting The Stage?

Sassy Smith — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 16:05:00 GMT

What celebrity mom is going to be hitting the big stage of Broadway?

According to The Daily Mail, Katie Holmes is in final negotiations to make her debut on the Broadway stage. She'll be staring in a revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons. Apparently Holmes will take part in a workshop this coming May. In the workshop, she'll play the part of a woman who visits her former neighbors, the family of a missing pilot she once loved.

Katie has said to producers that she is "serious about working in the theater."

Holmes had a good start to her acting career when she was one of the stars of Dawson's Creek and a handful of some choice roles in films. However her acting career took a back burner once she married Tom Cruise and had her daughter Suri. She did co-star in Mad Money recently, which, um, basically sucked.

Now Katie wants to get back to her acting -choice roles preferably - and one theater expert in London has said, "This play will be like a shop window for Katie. The aim to remind people of her acting chops. It's kind of a neat idea."

Ian Preece, of Orion Books says that the memoirs will reveal truths about the rapper. "Everyone has their own take on Eminem. Because of where he is from, people think they know where he is at, what kind of person he really is. This book cuts through all that and gets to the source. It has to an edge. It'll be one of the books of the year."

Look for the book to hit shelves on October 16th.

Tina Fey Would Vote Abdul Off

Whit Honea — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 22:42:00 GMT

Tina Fey thinks that Paula Abdul is "disastrous ... in the way she generally appears to be." She tells Playboy (via Us) that Abdul is "awful."

When Paula Abdul hosted SNL she left quite the impression on Fey, "I was pregnant at the time and probably a little moody, but I remember thinking, 'She's a disaster! I gotta prop this lady up and get her on TV.'"

I guess that's why they let her sit down on American Idol.

Thanks for the take, Tina. Let's get Abdul on 30 Rock!

Britney: Everybody Loves A Pregnant Klepto!

HerBadMother — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 16:33:00 GMT

Britney Spears a kleptomaniac? That, at least, was the story this morning from a Swedish newspaper, which reported that Britney lifted four designer coats from designer Katja Berglund at the Scandinavian Style Mansion party in LA this past weekend. The coats were worth a total five-finger discount of $28,200.

This of course, was too ~~good~~ bad to be true, and sure enough, the newspaper just issued a retraction, stating that the designer has insisted that the coats were a gift. Which, yeah right. I'm betting that 'statement' from the designer came after some well-placed phone calls from Britney's publicists. This is, after all, a girl who has let her dog shit on couture and who - inexplicably - recently tried to make off with some (presumably useless) un-paid-for panties. And tell me that she and baby-daddy JT Rotem don't look like they're shoving merchandise under their fugly hats in that photo above.

She should just be blame it on pregnancy hormones. Oh mah god, y'all! I just can't be THINKIN' with all this sperm cooking up in me! I thought they was MAH coats, y'all! That way, she gets more of our attention (admitting to pregnancy) and our sympathy (poor pregnant Britney, lost and confused.) And she gets to keep the coats, and maybe the panties, too. Win-win for everybody.

Flea's House, Butch Walker's Heartache

Whit Honea — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 17:37:00 GMT

Rolling Stone producer of the year and all around musician's musician Butch Walker was renting/buying the house owned by the Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea when it burned down in the recent Malibu fires.

Butch had an extensive collection of masters and irreplacable items in the house when it was destroyed. The word is that he lost everything.

I don't know much about Walker's personal life, and his Wikipedia entry wasn't much help, but Perez Hilton reported that Butch has a baby and that people are assisting with diapers and clothes.

That's tough. Best of luck to Butch.

Britney Spears Text Messages Ryan Seacrest To Squash Baby Rumor But More Lies Surface

Karen — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 20:35:00 GMT

What is it with Ryan Seacrest getting all the Britney attention? Anyway, that nagging rumor about her being pregnant again? False, according to a text message sent from the pop trainwreck to the radio show host this morning. BUT WE AREN'T BUYING BRITNEY'S STORY JUST YET!

From Sam Lufti herself: "It's BS, don't know who made it up. J.R. doesn't even know what's up. It's fake, completely fake. We just wrapped her video, going home to sleep...sorry...we're dodging paps."

And apparently Britney is furious, and planning to sure, says a source, "She's furious at InTouch," a close pal of Britney reveals to OK!, referring to their item that the mother of two is expecting a child from music producer J.R. Rotem. "The story is a complete lie. She does not even see or talk to J.R., and she hasn't had any dealings with him in months."

"She's thinking about suing," explains the pal. "She's so mad. She's worked so hard at being a working mom and resolving legal issues. To have such a messed up lie come out like this now really angers her. She is serious about wanting to sue."

Oh REALLY? Months you say? Funny, here she is with J.R. Rotem SIX WEEKS AGO.

Squash that, Pop Tart.

Barack Obama Supports Striking Writers

“I stand with the writers. The Guild’s demand is a test of whether media corporations are going to give writers a fair share of the wealth their work creates or continue concentrating profits in the hands of their executives. I urge the producers to work with the writers so that everyone can get back to work.”

Executives suck. I just don't get why he's talking about "The Producers," what does Mel Brooks have to do with anything?

Tina Fey and the Writer's Strike

Whit Honea — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 18:27:00 GMT

Tina Fey is mad as hell, and she's not going to take it anymore!

I'm torn on this Hollywood strike. On one hand, I'm a writer. I've created some shows for television. I get it.

On the other hand, they're just so whiny. I've never been a fan of unions, especially for the white-collar crowd.

Can't we all just get along?

Tina Fey is one of the only working writers in TV that is actually any good. "30 Rock" is funny as hell. The rest of the writers should just keep waking in circles until they think of some better script ideas.

I wonder how long she walked the line after the photographers left.

I just hope that the powers that be realize they're wrong and give the writers their share before we're left with nothing but informercials and porn. Those don't use writers, right?
