Here’s Lindsay Lohan busting her way into one of the Golden Globe after-parties. I guess there wasn’t a sex toy launch to be found in LA? Or perhaps Lindsay thinks she’s relevant enough to be invited to a Golden Globe party? Lindsay wore a sparkly Brian Lichtenberg cocktail dress with its own attached hood, which… I guess we’ll be seeing from Ungaro or Lindsay’s “clothing line” any minute now. Us Weekly notes that Lindsay “held court at the bar before taking her drink to a table of friends.” Meanwhile, Holy Moly makes it seem like Lindsay was perhaps uninvited to the bash:

Now, obviously the only award that Lindsay Lohan’s Labor Pains will be up for this season is the Golden Raspberry (although she might have a future hit on her hands if that sex tapes manages to get a release), but that didn’t stop her sneaking into the pre and post Golden Globes parties over the weekend…

Despite the fact that she’s meant to be showing her second collection for Unagro in Paris next month, Lindsay has been keeping busy in Hollywood, trying to remind her old acting pals that she exists and making alleged one-time shag Colin Farrell squirm as she gurned in his direction and gave him a glimpse of what might have been had he not cleaned up his act.

Having said all that, Lindsay with hood = big improvement. Compared to the previous night anyway - Fleiss is out the CBB house now and ready to get her look back (and pass back to Pete Burns), Lilo.

In other Lindsay news, it seems she and Colin Farrell had an “awkward encounter” in LA over the weekend. This whole story comes from an “eyewitness account” from one of The Daily Mirror’s gossip columnists, who claimed to be in the restaurant for this embarrassing story:

There was a time when Colin Farrell and ­Lindsay Lohan were just about on a par in the hellraiser stakes. They both partied hard, didn’t care who saw and were even said to have enjoyed a night of passion back in 2004 at the Chateau Marmont hotel in LA.

So you can only imagine my delight when they both walked in ­separately to enjoy dinner in the beautiful garden at Chateau within spitting distance from my table.

But while these days Colin’s a proud father-of-two, clean and sober and ­settled down with his Polish ­actress partner Alicja Bachleda-Curus – Lindsay has only intensified her hard-partying ways.

Colin showed up first for a business meeting and gushed about his three-month old son Henry, saying: “He’s just amazing. Having two babies is amazing. Life couldn’t be ­better right now.”

Within 20 minutes a crazy-eyed Lindsay Lohan, her even scarier crazy-eyed mother Dina and a pal arrived at a nearby table and got stuck into vodka and wine.

I watched as Colin turned his chair and kept his head down, hoping not to be noticed. It was OK – until Lindsay started to work the room. The fallen actress spied Colin over her shoulder as she was saying hello to stylist Rachel Zoe – and said: “Oh, s**t!” and ran back to her table.

Lindsay then told mum Dina – who gulps wine like her life depends on it: “Have you seen who’s over there? It’s f***ing Colin.”

Dina ­replied: “I know – just turn your chair round.”

Li-Lo kept her back to him, but Colin made sure he wouldn’t have to bump into the drunken Lohan table – leaving by another exit.

A handful of years ago Lindsay was a star that commanded great ­attention – but sadly the entire restaurant was looking at her with pity in their eyes.

[From The Mirror]

Good Lord. That does sound like they had sex once, didn’t it? I’ve actually lived that scene before, and I’ve never even been close to the train wreck-level of a Lohan. So, it actually makes me have some sympathy for both Colin and Lindsay. I mean, she could have done something really embarrassing, like gone over to him and tried to flirt or something. I’m not going to bash her for ignoring him. Sounds reasonable!

Maybe I’m just too emotional, or maybe I was just having an off-day when I read this, but this article made me cry. It seems Colin Farrell was “caught” spending Christmas day at an Irish hospital (specifically, Crumlin, Ireland), hanging out with sick kids and bringing them cool presents like Ninetendo Wiis. The Irish Herald also notes that Colin “has carried out similarly unheralded visits to Crumlin for the past few years.” Oh, but that’s not all. It seems that since Colin’s oldest son, James, was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome, Colin has been something of a tireless (yet under-the-radar) supporter of the Special Olympics. Here’s more:

KIND-HEARTED new dad Colin Farrell paid a secret visit to sick children in Our Lady’s Hospital, Crumlin, on Christmas Day. The In Bruges actor played and chatted with children for several hours on Christmas Day and also brought them presents. And it wasn’t his first festive visit — he has carried out similarly unheralded visits to Crumlin for the past few years.

“He keeps a low profile when he comes in. He doesn’t want photographers or anything,” a well-placed source told the Herald about the actor’s visits. He comes in every Christmas Day and spends a lot of time with the children.”

“He has bought Nintendo DS and Wiis for them and plays with them for a couple of hours,” the source added. “He’s really popular with the staff and really genuine, and the kids really love and appreciate his visit.”

The actor, who recently became a father for the second time to baby son Henry, does not want to court any publicity when visiting patients. And back in 2003, Colin (33) helped support the Special Olympics which was hosted then in Ireland.

Since then, he has been a tireless campaigner for the cause, regularly giving up any free time he has to help the organization with their activities and further raise their profile. Much of Colin’s spare time is spent in Los Angeles, so he can be with his six-year-old son James, who suffers from the rare, neuro-genetic condition, Angelman Syndrome.

Colin often credits little James, who lives with his model mum Kim Bordenave, with saving his life thanks to the positive influence he has held over his father since he was born.

The award-winning actor spent Christmas at home this year, and brought elder son James (6) to enjoy festivities in their father’s native area of Castleknock. Baby Henry, who was born in October, is also believed to have made the trip.

A source close to the former hell-raiser has confirmed how the actor will be jetting home with his girlfriend Alicja Bachleda (26) and their tiny tot on Christmas Eve.

“Colin’s a real family-orientated guy and nearly always makes it back for Christmas anyway, no matter how busy he is with his filming schedule, but this year it will be extra-special thanks to his new baby.”

[From The Irish Herald]

Now we know why Colin Farrell still makes panties drop wherever he goes. Because in his heart, he’s a good boy. He plays at being the bad boy to great effect, but I really have no doubt that he’s a very sweet, considerate, lovely man. Sigh… okay, I’m overly-emotional for crying while reading this, right? I love Colin. I want him to be happy. I want him to make good movies and win awards and stay sober and be a great dad. That’s the Colin I’m seeing now.

Since it’s a slow day, I thought I’d show off some new photos of Colin Farrell and his son James. Colin and James were in Ireland over the holidays to celebrate Colin’s brother’s wedding. Eamon, the brother, had married his partner Steven in Canada (because there’s no marriage for the gays in Ireland), and Steve and Eamon decided to do a big, fancy wedding reception in Dublin. The rumor going around a few months ago was that Colin was his brother’s best man, but I’ve never seen any photos from the actual ceremony, so I have no idea. I bet it’s true. I also haven’t seen any photos of Colin’s girlfriend and baby-mama Alicja, so I have no idea if she was in Ireland too. That would be my guess, but I may be wrong.

Anyway, how cute is Colin? I’m ambivalent towards the sketchy mustache, but otherwise, he’s looking really cute. He probably was feeling hassled because I doubt he wants his son photographed. But this isn’t the first time photographers have gotten a glimpse at James, so maybe it’s not that big of a deal. James is Colin’s son with Kim Bordenave, and James has Angelman Syndrome, a neurological disorder. Colin has spoken about James a few times, and it’s really cool that Colin got to spend time with his oldest son and with his brother on Eamon’s special day.

Meanwhile, in other Colin news, did anyone know that Colin is in Crazy Heart? Crazy Heart is the little film starring Jeff Bridges as a down-on-his-luck country singer. I hadn’t been paying attention to it, but Bridges is picking up a lot of critics’ notice and several big award nominations, so Crazy Heart could be a sleeper success. Anyway, Colin is in it, playing Bridges’ protégé and country-music successor. Colin sings in the film! Crazy Heart‘s producer, Judy Caro gave an interview to E! about Colin’s under-the-radar appearance:

Just when we thought Colin Farrell couldn’t get any hotter, we find out he can sing. Not only does the Irish hunkster do his own singing playing a country music star in the much-buzzed-about Crazy Heart, but he actually has a pretty darn good voice, too.

“No one had heard him sing until he recorded with [composer and producer] T-Bone, but we assumed if he took the role that he probably could pull it off or he wouldn’t have accepted the role,” Crazy Heart producer Judy Cairo told us last night at the movie’s L.A. premiere. “His agent didn’t even know he could sing.”

In one scene, Farrell and Bridges sing together onstage at the Journal Pavilion in Albuquerque, N.M. “They both have great voices,” Cairo said. “In fact, it was Colin’s second day working with us and we brought him in and threw him onstage in front of 12,000 people and said, ‘Sing!’ He was a trouper. He did an amazing job.”

But don’t go looking for Farrell’s name in the credits. He asked that his name be left out. Not only did filmmakers want his appearance to be a surprise, but Farrell “also didn’t want to take the spotlight off of Jeff,” Cairo said. “Obviously this is Jeff’s movie and…if Colin was more in front of it, Jeff would have to share the spotlight a little bit. He wanted to give kudos and credit to Jeff.”

And we can attest to that. We’ve seen the movie. If Bridges doesn’t get an Oscar nomination then there’s something seriously wrong in this world.

“I don’t want to count any chickens,” Bridges told us, “but it’s great to get these good reviews we’ve been getting. This film doesn’t have the millions of dollars to spend on promotions, so it’s great that we’re getting the film out there.”

[From E! News]

Damn, that’s really cool that Colin was like “Just make this about The Dude, Jeff Bridges, man.” Although I suspect part of it was that Colin didn’t feel like going on a publicity tour for the film, it’s still a very rare thing for an actor of Colin’s caliber to ask for his name to be taken off the credits and everything. That’s amazing!

I found some fan footage of Colin and Jeff Bridges singing together on stage for the film, and below that is the official trailer for Crazy Heart. You can see Colin for a split second in two little cutaways. He looks good!

Here are new photos of Colin Farrell and his girlfriend Alicja Bachleda-Curus heading out on a little Mexican vacation. Fame Pictures notes that Alicja and Colin boarded a plane at LAX without their 7-week-old baby Henry Tadeusz. And there’s no sign of Henry in the Mexico pictures either, which leads me to believe that Papa Colin and Mama Alicja needed a few nights away from the little rugrat, and probably left him in the care of some nanny or family member. Fame Pictures asks: “The two lovebirds look primed to escape from their stressful celebrity lives for a vacation, but is it irresponsible to be apart from their new baby so early in his development?” I think if it’s just for a few days, it’s fine. Who cares, as long as the baby is cared for by someone responsible? It’s not even like babies do anything interesting at that age, you know? But that’s just me, being a non-mother (happily so).

While on vacation, Alicja and Colin seemed to just be chilling out, not doing much of anything besides eating and smoking and looking at stuff through binoculars. Which actually sounds like a really great vacation to me. My guess is that they’re also spending some time in bed. Ten bucks says Alicja gets knocked up again in about two seconds. There’s a reason they’re called Irish twins.

That’s about it. I guess there wasn’t anything to that story about Colin and Janet Jackson. Or maybe there was and Alicja just didn’t care. Oh, and Alicja kills me. Can you believe she just had a baby? She was back to skinny two seconds after giving birth. She kills me. Colin too. I love him.

We never did a follow-up on that story about Colin Farrell’s girlfriend giving birth to a son. Well, it ended up being confirmed weeks after Alicja Bachleda gave birth, on October 7. They named the little boy Henry Tadeusz Farrell. Henry is Colin’s second son - he also is father to 6-year-old James Padraig Farrell, with model Kim Bordenave.

Since the confirmation at the beginning of the month, Colin hasn’t been saying or doing anything. He hasn’t indicated whether he and Alicija will marry, he hasn’t given some glowing interview to People Magazine. He’s been so quiet, I almost forgot about him. But then Entertainment Tonight put this up yesterday… and it’s weird. Colin and Janet Jackson? Seriously?

An unlikely celebrity couple may be emerging! ET’s special source spotted Janet Jackson warming up to actor and ladies’ man Colin Farrell.

The two were seen last week sitting side by side in a booth at the renowned Polo Lounge located in the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Jackson performed a medley of her hits on Sunday night’s “2009 American Music Awards.” Meanwhile, Farrell has several movies in the works.

[From Entertainment Tonight]

If it was the old Colin, I would say “he hit it… multiple times… Miss Jackson if you’re nasty and/or Irish”. And maybe he did hit it back in the day. But I don’t think there’s anything sexual between Janet and Colin right now. I mean, Colin might have a vein of womanizing bastard in him still, but he’s got a newborn at home! He’s not that bad. Still, Alicja needs to keep an eye on that.

This is not the picture we’re talking about. You can see that on The Sun
Okay, I have been hearing for several days that Colin Farrell’s girlfriend Alicja Bachleda had given birth. I thought the reports were bullsh-t, because everything seemed to come from this obscure Polish source rather than any American or Irish confirmation. So I waited and waited to see if there was any truth to it. And now I’ve got my evidence - sort of. While Colin’s people still aren’t confirming anything, The Sun (and other sources) have pictures of Colin and Alicja out at a U2 concert over the weekend, and Alicja looks seriously skinny (pictures from The Sun here). Like, “she gave birth a while ago” skinny.

So, back to those original reports that I though were too sketchy. Allegedly, Alicja gave birth to a son a few weeks ago in Los Angeles, and only Poland’s Super Express got the scoop. Alicja’s brother maybe confirmed the news to them with this quote: “I am delighted my little sister has given birth. I hope that before the end of the year, I can fly out to see my new nephew.” If it’s true, it’s Colin’s second son. He is also father to 6-year-old James.

There was speculation yesterday that actor Colin Farrell had become a dad for the second time. The 33-year-old Irish actor’s girlfriend Alicja Bachleda-Curus was reported to have given birth to a baby boy.

The 26-year old Polish actress went into labour a week ago in Los Angeles, the reports said.

In an interview with the Polish tabloid ‘Super Express’, her brother Tadeusz said: “I am delighted my little sister has given birth. I hope that before the end of the year, I can fly out to see my new nephew.”

The Hollywood couple were said to have kept the birth secret for almost a week and have refused to reveal the name of their newborn son.

However, there was no confirmation from Farrell’s agent last night.

Two years ago, Farrell opened his heart and revealed that his five-year-old son James is a special-needs child. The actor described how the condition has affected his speech and mobility.

James, who is from Farrell’s previous relationship with Kim Bordenave, has a rare form of cerebral palsy called Angelman Syndrome.

[From Irish Independent]

If Alicja did give birth to a son, we still don’t know the name of the little boy. However, an Irish betting site is giving 4 to 1 odds on Colin naming the boy Eamon, the name of both Colin’s dad and his older brother. The site is also giving 10/1 odds on Colin, and “Alexander at 12/1, and Neil at 14/1, after Irish Oscar winning filmmaker Neil Jordan, while traditional Irish name Paddy/Patrick makes the list at 20/1.” I like the name Eamon. Neil would be cute too. In any case, congratulations to Colin and Alicja!

While Colin Farrell was in Toronto, he confirmed that his girlfriend Alicja Bachleda is totally pregnant. This was the opposite of shocking, considering Alicja was photographed sporting a sizeable second-trimester baby bump just a few weeks before Colin “confirmed”. But it was still nice. Colin obviously adores his girl, and he seemed totally excited about being a father to his second child (that we know about).

In the back of my mind was the small, tiny, itsy-bitsy idea that Alicja maybe got pregnant as a way to nail down the historically commitment-phobic Colin. Of course, I doubted that was Alicja’s sole reason for getting pregnant - after all, if I was having sex with Colin Farrell, I would be permanently knocked up with Irish babies all year ‘round. Unfortunately, Star Magazine is reporting that Alicja’s family are now pretty desperate for her to marry Colin:

Alicja and Colin have a baby on the way this winter - so her family is pressing him to make her an honest woman ASAP!

“Alicja’s parents in Poland met Colin and liked him a lot,” says a source. “But they’re old-fashioned.”

Still, Colin, 33, is in no rush to tie the knot a second time. His four-month marriage to Amelia Warner ended in 2001.

Says the source, “He’s crazy about Alicja, but he’s quite happy being single.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, October 5 2009]

I don’t know, I really don’t. I want to believe Colin changed with the birth of his son, James, in 2004. I want to believe that Colin is now a nice boy - I mean, a nice boy who will do really dirty things with you, but a guy who can make a commitment and stick with it. Is he that guy? Or is he still the old, womanizing commitment-phobe we all fell in love with, then fell out of love with, and then fell back in love with? My guess is that Colin would probably marry Alicja if she told him that was what she really wanted - so perhaps the only people who really want them to get hitched are her parents.

By the way, Colin has been doing some press for Ondine, the Neil Jordan film where he and Alicja met and fell in love. I found this beautiful LAT interview with Neil Jordan and Colin where they’re talking about the film, and the character Colin plays, who is an alcoholic fisherman.

Colin said: “[Playing an alcoholic] doesn’t make it any more attractive, or make me hesitant to be a part of it…Maybe what it does is the whole world of addiction and alcoholism is demystified for me. I understand what it is because I’ve been through my version of it. So it’s completely demystified, which means I’m cool to have a little bit of fun with it, and I also understand the gravity of it. It’s serious business, and I understand the mechanism of it a little bit. His wife left him, he’s a recovering alcoholic and he’s got a terminally ill daughter. As an actor you go, oh, the drama, the pain — or I do anyway, as I tend to the potential to be histrionic. But he has no self-pity at all. He’s just getting on with the business of living and doing the best he can do.” Sigh. I love me some brooding Irishmen.

A few weeks ago, many of us were rather startled to see pictures of Colin Farrell and his girlfriend of less than a year at LAX. I wasn’t surprised that Colin looked edible (of course) or that his girlfriend, Polish actress Alicja Bachleda is so lovely. No, I was startled by the rather significant “baby bump” Alicja was showing off in a simple black mini-dress. Now Colin Farrell is confirming our suspicions by confirming the happy news to Us Weekly while he was doing press at the Toronto Film Festival (and looking very edible):

Colin Farrell is having another baby, Usmagazine.com confirms.

The actor confirmed that he and girlfriend Alicja Bachleda were expecting their first child together at the Toronto Film Festival on Saturday evening.

Farrell, 33, and the Polish actress, 26, began dating earlier this year.

This will be the second child for the Irish star. He has a 5-year-old son, James, with model Kim Bordenave.

[From Us Weekly]

I am thrilled for Colin and Alicja, and I hope they’re very happy together. I hope the mother and child are healthy and all of that. All that being said, isn’t it interesting that she got knocked up so quickly? It was just January and February when they began working together on Ondine, and Alicja must have gotten knocked up quickly afterwards. No judgment - it’s just interesting to me. God knows, if I was nailing Colin, I would probably get pregnant too. It’s not like it’s a Jude Law situation, where Colin doesn’t even remember the girl - I think Colin is totally in love, and probably thrilled to have another baby on the way. I’m hoping it’s a little girl, aren’t you?

Colin Farrell has most likely impregnated his Polish girlfriend, Alicja Bachleda-Curuś. The two were spotted at LAX over the weekend, and Alicja seems to be sporting a significant second-trimester baby bump. That’s what it looks like to me. The Sun is running with this story as “pregnancy rumors” while Colin’s fansite is saying “Alicja is obviously very pregnant.” Several Polish sites seem to be declaring the pregnancy a sure thing too, although my Polish might be a little rusty. It looked like the Polish site Pudelek was saying something about “Crazy Babies” but I think I mistranslated.

If Alicja is pregnant (and seriously, I’m pretty sure she is, her “bump” is much too big to be a food baby), this will be Colin’s second child (that we know about). His oldest child is five-year-old James, whom Colin shares custody of with model Kim Bordenave. James has Angelman Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. Becoming a father to James in 2004 seemed to have changed Colin for the better. Once he became a father, Colin went through rehab and has been clean and sober since 2005. He credited James and fatherhood for his transformation, saying in a recent interview, “I don’t know if I would be here if I hadn’t had him. He was a huge part of me going in and making certain changes in my life.”

Colin and Alicja have allegedly been together most of this year, after working together on the film Ondine. At most, I think Colin and Alicja have been together for about seven months - so Alicja might have gotten knocked up pretty quickly. In Alicja’s defense, if I were bangin’ Colin, I’d probably get knocked up in a hurry too. Just because I imagine the sex would be constant. And hot. And dirty. Sigh. Lucky bitch.

For his part, Colin seems very happy. I think he’s in a really good place in his life, and he probably worships Alicja. Through their relationship, there have been rumors that Colin was eager to really settle down with Alicja. They’re most likely living together in his house in Los Angeles, and there are rumors Colin bought a home in Poland too. I’m sure Colin will confirm Alicja’s pregnancy sometime soon - perhaps at the Toronto Film Festival, where their film Ondine will premiere!

Sometimes, when it’s a slow day, CB and I e-mail about boys, like Gerard Butler, Matt Damon, or even Ralph Fiennes. Colin Farrell is a favorite, but CB can’t get over the fact that Colin smokes like a chimney. Personally, I’m just happy he’s not all drunk and coked-up anymore. He seems to be healthier than ever, and working steadily. His name rarely pops up in the tabloids these days, and I don’t even know if he’s still with his maybe live-in love, Polish actress Alicja Bachleda-Curus. My guess is that they’re still together, considering Colin has been keeping his head down while filming London Boulevard - in London, obviously. There have been no reports about crazy womanizing, or hotel hookups, or strippers. So either Colin has gotten better at hiding that stuff, or he’s staying loyal to Alicja. These are some new pictures from the set of London Boulevard. Colin looks sweet, doesn’t he? Like a lost puppy. I like his hair cut short like that.

Colin met his lady love Alicja on the set of Ondine, which was filmed and set in Ireland. It’s about a fisherman (Colin) who finds a mermaid (Alicja) out at sea. First Showing has some exclusive images from the film, and they’re just gorgeous. Colin’s hair is really long in the film, and he looks good and dirty and scruffy. Alicja really is f-cking gorgeous. Gah! They look so pretty together.

More good news for Colin: he topped a recent poll in Ireland for “Favorite Fantasy Father”. This means that “Irish women said they would like hard-partying Farrell to be the father of their child” more than anyone else. Now, I love me some Colin Farrell, but I don’t really want to have his baby. I save my baby-daddy fantasies for Gerard Butler, Seth MacFarlane and Keith Olbermann (seriously). But it’s nice that Irish women think “Colin Farrell” when they hear the words “Daddy”. And “Daddy” wasn’t even proceeded by “Spank me”!
