Olivia Wilde used breast milk for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge: really?

Olivia Wilde

Now we’re getting to the stragglers of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. These are the celebs who didn’t jump in right away with simple, easily executed entries. The ones who waited have been going the extra mile to bring attention to the ALS cause. Like Chris Evans in a suit or Cumby’s amazing anthology video. I’m not even a Cumberbitch (sorry, Kaiser!), but Cumby has the best celebrity entry out there. He struck a fine line between honoring the charity, delivering a wet t-shirt for his fans, and playfully acknowledging that celebrities are being hounded for these videos. Very funny.

Olivia Wilde has joined the club. She decided to forgo the water (“I hope it’s ok, I couldn’t find any“) and use “breast milk” instead. Let’s watch and then discuss:

Livvy nominated Gloria Steinem and Prince, which had to be sarcastic. There’s also no way that this was a bucket of Livvy’s breast milk. She joked about staying up all night “to make this.” The size of this bucket would easily demand a few (if not more) days’ worth of human milk. She would never take away Otis Alexander’s food supply for that long. Her girls would also be so sore from that much pumping. Olivia’s not a good enough actress to hide that kind of pain.

Even though this was probably a joke, Olivia managed to put her own spin on the challenge. Livvy has embraced the role of mother-goddess over the past year. She’s a huge advocate of breastfeeding, which is now her celebrity trademark since she breastfed in her Glamour editorial. Livvy wanted another milk moment, and she got it. Good for her?

Here’s a few more challenge videos. Bradley Cooper’s addition wasn’t noteworthy except for his obnoxious ice-pouring helpers. Is one of them Suki Waterhouse?

Eminem took the plunge onstage to close his Monster tour with Rihanna. Rih did the honors.

    Tina Fey’s was the best Ice Bucket Challenge this weekend.

    • Snazzy says:

      oops sorry I saw this one after I posted. Haven’t seen TF’s yet … will have to look it up!

    • Lucy2 says:

      Just watched Tina’s, that was really cute. And kudos to them for doing it in a garden for double use of the water.

  2. Snazzy says:

    The best is still Patrick Stewart
    (sorry I’m late in the game, was on holidays and missed all of this ice bucket business – catching up now!)

    I really like Olivia. She seems like a genuine person, but breast milk…eww! Encouraging breast feeding is great, fine, etc. Breast milk is like saliva, share it with those closes to you. Seems like she is sharing it too much though. I think she is a DOLL though. Very funny lady. I have liked her since I watched Butter.

    Edit: Oh okay it wasn’t her breast milk.

  4. Irishserra says:

    I enjoyed Michelle Dockery’s challenge. It was simple and classy and she was shrieking adorable.

  5. Minefirst says:

    All I have to say is.. oh the things I could do to Eminem in that chair…. Yes, please.. I’d hit it SO HARD. Side note: I still have my groupie shank out… Get back.. he’s all mine. Back…. Baaccckkkkk….. -.-

  6. Splinter says:

    That obviously was a joke. I guess that while she is feeding Otis brest milk is around her all the time (including spit up on all surfaces), so that probably was her inspiration. She will grow out of this 😉

  7. Lucy2 says:

    I feel like that was more “hey pay attention to me” vs “hey raise money for ALS”.
    I agree Patrick Stewart’s is the best.

  8. don't kill me i'm french says:

    Even if it’s not breast milk,it’s a food waste!

  9. Norman Bates' Mother says:

    All I can think of is that a person who had to clean this wooden terrace after her, must have had a very hard time. Milk (if that was a cow milk and not some white-colored water) starts too smell very quickly and that’s a major spillage. I’m clumsy so I’ve had to clean my drinks including hot milk or white coffee/tea from every possible surface and the real wood with gaps between the planks is the worst.

    This whole thing is getting annoying. I support the need for creating awareness, and I’m so glad that it’s happening. But I don’t give a shite about people doing the challenge. It’s so superficial. Just write the check and be done with it.

    • ella says:

      +1,000,000,000,000

    • FLORC says:

      People could just write a check, but that’s not enough for some. They need a way to bring attention to them. To tell the world they’re donating without it sounding selfserving. That’s all fine. Dull and awful as social commentary, but end of the day fine.

      Now certain celebs need to bring attention only to themselves while doing this. Promote their stuff rather than ALS. Wilde is a stunt Queen. Would she donate otherwise?

      For example. Robin Williams donated often ad annually to PD research. Will any other these celebs or Wilde donate again to a charity without a gala or youtube sensation?

      Great they’re donating, but stop making it about yourself.

    Lily James was awesome, Michael Rooker was the one who dumped the ice bucket on her head.

  12. CeCe says:

    Obviously it wasn’t breastmilk… It was clearly a joke (I don’t get what’s funny about that but I feel like it was meant to be seen as a joke) which doesn’t change the fact that she’s pretentious and attention-seekingB-list (C list?) who tries to hard to be more but fails every damn time.

  13. Blythe says:

    They have a kid, once, and think they’re baby gurus. Sit the hell down with that.

    • kri says:

      Thank you, Blythe. You expressed my thoughts perfectly. She annoys the f*ck out of me. Always has, always will. Please go back to your marathon sex sessions with Jason and leave us all alone.

      • ella says:

        Can’t stand her or Jason Sudeikis, who is a dead ringer for my annoying coworker who walks around with his jeans firmly belted around his middle, as if they’d ever fall off of his ample derriere.

  14. DJ says:

    I’m pretty sure that is Suki in Bradley’s video.

  15. Mandy says:

    God, I can’t stand that woman! You are not the first, only and last woman to breastfeed on the planet, Olivia. Find a new hobby. Me and my husband honestly almost threw up watching that. It looked like breastmilk. The color and texture were convincing enough to at least put the thought of someone really doing that in our heads. She looked like a complete idiot.

  16. stellalovejoydiver says:

    She is so stupid.

  17. Lydia says:

    Olivia Wilde needs to stop. We don’t care! She is so extra all the time, so ‘look at me’… my god. This is for charity. Dump a bucket of ice water over your head like everyone else and stop trying to look special.

  18. Pepsi Presents...Coke says:

    Charity begins at, ‘shut up’.

  19. janeFR says:

    I don’t know if the breast milk thing is a joke. My baby sister choose to brestfeed her twins half the time and have her husband bootle-feed them the rest of the time. She froze her milk, and since she suche a ‘good dairy mother’ (She used to compare herself to the best dairy cows) she had a lot frozen left whenshe stopped.
    So I’m thinking hat she could have used frozen milk for ice and added water. Yuck.

    Here’s Daniel Craig’s one: http://youtu.be/hCJBfO3lxQU
    Rachel Weisz dumps the bucket of water.
