The Sandra Bullock-Bradley Cooper film All About Steve got savaged by the critics, most of them taking issue with Sandra. She got called out not only as the star, but as the producer, I guess getting the bulk of the blame for simply green-lighting this “unwatchable, unbearably unfunny” monstrosity (per Rolling Stone). The New York Daily News called Sandra’s character a “freak-show attraction… a strange child-woman…borderline unhinged… barely made tolerable by Bullock’s star power.” Meanwhile, Bradley Cooper’s character got called out for his “nastiness…[and] scruffy dismissiveness.” Radar even has All About Steve as the hands-down front-runner for Worst Movie of the Year. Still, even Sandra Bullock’s worst gets the second place finish as the box office – it could be worse.
While I suspect Sandra Bullock is washing her hands of the film (and perhaps making t-shirts that read “Remember The Proposal”), Bradley Cooper is still out there trying to promote All About Steve. He sat down for an interview with Parade Magazine (story via Us Weekly) to talk about how he’s such an old-fashioned romantic who wants to mate for life. I guess we’re not supposed to remember his four-month marriage to Jennifer Esposito. Also – here’s a note for the eagle-eyed readers: check out how Us Weekly refers to Bradley as “she”. That typo has been up for two days and it’s still hilarious. I think we should all refer to Bradley as “she” from now on:
Bradley Cooper admits he’s a romantic in the newest issue of Parade magazine.
“The truth is, I got it first from my parents, who’ve been married since 1963. I got it from them and from my grandparents, who are still together,” says the actor, 34, who’s dating Renee Zellweger. (The two were spotted kissing in Spain in early August; the next week, he took her to his Philadelphia home town.)
“I grew up in a very old-fashioned Roman Catholic, Italian-Irish family in Philly. Now my parents have evolved into completely different creatures, in terms of their marriage and the roles of the man and the woman,” he goes on. “And I think that’s great, but it’s still romantic.”
Movies and TV have also “influenced” the way he acts while in love, Cooper says.
“You sort of figure out that you don’t need to replicate what you see. In a relationship you want to treat people the way you want to be treated,” he says. “And, you figure that out after sussing through all these ideas of how love is supposed to be.”
The star of All About Steve (out Friday), also opens up about his scenes with costar Sandra Bullock — who went nude in her last romantic comedy, The Proposal.
“I don’t feel cheated that Sandra Bullock kept most of her clothes on with me. At least we got sort of a love scene…I still made contact. Actually, Sandra was attacking me physically in [one] scene,” she [sic] says. “There’s just something in her eyes when she’s on top of me saying, ‘I’m going to eat you like a lion,’ that’s so funny. But I wouldn’t have minded going a little further.”
[From Us Weekly]
She really is an old-fashioned romantic, isn’t she? Eh… I think she’s laying it on a bit thick. Good thing her box-office cred won’t be hit too hard by the bad reviews. Entertainment Weekly is already declaring Bradley “the summer’s biggest breakout star” and EW says she’s “best poised for a shot at the A-List.” ‘Atta girl.

You know, nothing says “I’m in it for the long haul” like a four month marriage and constant media speculation that he’s basically a man-whore.
I really don’t get the appeal. Not because he’s a man-whore, cos Gerard Butler is totally my cup of man-whore tea. Maybe the whole kettle.

I’m really starting to not like this guy…not sure why exactly.

he’s gay.

Hollywood is really trying to make people believe this guy is a star. It’s not working. Playing in terrible rom-coms doesn’t make him a star or likable.
And yes, he’s gay.

My local newspaper gave this movie 0 stars — it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a movie that didn’t get any stars at all! The reviewer said it was beyond awful.

Her hair is awful!I can’t even look at it!I couldn’t stand watching the movie because of her hair.

I agree……..her hair is the worst. Cannot imagine what she was thinking in trying to become a blonde. AWFUL. Also, she is way too thin looking. What is she trying to become?
I know the article is about him and this stupid movie…again, the word stupid.
I like her…..but wouldn’t/couldn’t even watch it because of her hair. UGLY.

* I think we should all refer to Bradley as “she” from now on.*
Works for me. I don’t get all of this hype over “her”. I know “she” was in the all guy Vegas movie and “she” was supposedly great in it, but other than that, what? Her looks don’t even seem to mirror those A-List men who usually get this type of hype. “She” gets more hype than Eric Bana and Eric is majorly hot and has the acting chops to back it up.
I just don’t get her. But to each his/her own.

Sandra looks AWFUL !!

I can’t look at this guy’s face without wondering where his glasses are. Hearthrob my kiester, he looks like an ambulance chasing contingency lawyer. As for Renee Zwhatever, why does she insist on puckering up her face like that? She’s got so many wrinkles and add the messy red blotchy lips and it makes her face look like a infected hemmroid. Does she still think she’s 6 years old?

Am I the only one that thinks Cooper has such an odd shaped head?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
@Andrea- No, I think his head is kind of shaped like Stewie’s from Family Guy.

I thought Sandra looked awful as well and part of that was her hair. She usually has a charm in her films even if they are weak. This film has nothing to recommend it.

I actually LIKE her hair like that!! I thought “wow someone who went blond for a film who doesn’t look like a complete plonker…” Hmmm maybe I’ll have my glasses prescription checked
(goes away to hang head in shame….)

I really like Brad. He seems cool. I saw him on Lonely Planet, a travel show. He was kayaking past glaciars in Alaska through the wilderness. That’s probably why he doesn’t get along with women like Esposito, or Aniston. No way they’d rough it, like EVER. Zellweger seems more like the “I’ll try it” type. She seems less self-involved and less of a fameho, overall.

I saw Cold Mountain last night with Kidman and Zellweger. She spoke with that squint-eyed squiggly-faced pursed-lipped expression during the whole movie and from what I can discern, that look stuck.

Does he have the same pr person as Aniston? Seems like they’re both angling for the same demographic. If the personal romantic description is true, great. But so much stuff is fabricated and engineered for pr these days, such acrid desperation to make money, it’s disgusting. PR people are overdoing it. Lie to and exploit people and they will tune you out entirely.

If he’s gay, he should just be gay. The cover up is worse than the fact.
Hangover was such garbage it’s hard to like him because they keep promoting him as being from that movie. Also, agree with other comment that there are hotter guys [YESSS Eric Bana, NOOO Gerard Butler]

Now, I’m not really fan of these two, but I see why they are so screwed up and insecure. All you people do is make nasty comments about head shapes and creepy eyes. You people have just picked apart someone you don’t even know. How would you feel if random strangers tore you down like that? Sometimes I am really ashamed to call myself a human being. Get a life and start treating people, animals, and the Earth with just a modicum of respect.

Hey Lacy, this site is called Celebitchy! It’s for bitchy + catty people. The Celebnicey website is somewhere else. Why don’t you go find it?

Hey Tia, maybe you can quit being an assh*le for 5 minutes and realize what I’m saying. I understand snarky comments about celebrities. I don’t understand physically picking someone apart for no good reason. I guess you are perfect and beautiful. But Definitely an assh*le.

Come on guys!
4 months for celebitches, is like 10 years for anonymous people. Quicker than a ray of light.
I’m not surprise at all!
Sandra, Thomas & Brad look like 3 Priscilla blondes in the desert. Somebody remind this movie with Guy Pearce ?

I just watched the movie and took it for what it’s worth. The characters are supposed to be anal-self retentive jerks except for Sandra who is the selfless good-hearted saint who makes them all feel like asses in the end–no pun intended. =)
