Here are some new photos of Jeremy Renner out and about in New York City on Friday. Jeremy was with his new little dog friend, whose name I do not know. I believe the breed is French bulldog. Jeremy had a French bulldog a few years ago too, a cream-colored sweetheart named Franklin. Franklin passed away last year when Jeremy’s friend/roommate (cough) took the puppy outside for an extended period of time on a really hot day, and the dog died of what amounted to heat stroke. It was really sad because Jeremy even talked about how much he loved Franklin in several interviews.

This little dog looks especially sweet, but he also sort of looks like Renner too, right? They say dogs begin to resemble their owners, but I think Jeremy just got a dog who looks a lot like him. I like his little vest thing. I wonder how the puppy is getting along with the new baby, Ava Berlin…?

Meanwhile, have you heard all of the gossip about Renner possibly being out of any potential Marvel follow-up film, like The Avengers 2 or whatever? There were several stories claiming that Jeremy and Marvel execs had fallen out and that if Hawkeye returned to the franchise(s), the part would be recast, like they did when Terrence Howard left the Iron Man franchise (he was pushed out over a money dispute). Currently, Perez Hilton claims that Renner will definitely return as Hawkeye in an upcoming film, but other people are saying that Hawkeye might be completely written out of the series altogether. Who knows?

God, these photos make me long for the 1970s to make a comeback in men’s fashion. It’s not that Jeremy Renner’s suit (he’s in character) is amazing just by itself, but on Jeremy, the whole package is kind of extraordinary. Women’s “retro” fashion is a thing, so why can’t modern dudes rock some 1970s-style poly-blend wide-leg trousers? And why is Donald Trump the only modern guy attempting this amazing hairstyle? Jeremy looks like he had a blowout and then they just sprayed a mountain of hairspray to get it to stay up in that crazy pompadour.

Anyway, these are some more photos from the Boston set of David O. Russell’s film about the 1970s Abscam scandal. It was untitled for a while, but now the film is being called American Hustle. The production shut down for a few weeks in the immediate aftermath of the Boston bombings, but they’ve gone back into production now, which is why you’ll be seeing more and more photos of Jeremy, Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper and Amy Adams in character, wearing 1970s stuff.

We now know who Jeremy is playing too – he’s playing the then-mayor of Camden, New Jersey, Angelo Errichetti. Bale and Amy Adams play con artists working with the FBI to track down politicians and mobsters on the take. You can read the Wiki page on the Abscam scandal here.

Back in January, we learned that Jeremy Renner had knocked up his ex-girlfriend, a woman we soon discovered was a 22-year-old Canadian model named Sonni Pacheco (allegedly). I believe she is the woman in these photos (taken in August 2012). Apparently, Jeremy was fooling around with her for a while, and when she became pregnant, he moved her into his home (or his guest house) where she lived quite comfortably with Jeremy and Jeremy’s business partner and BFF. I heard lots of rumors that Sonni gave birth back in February, but Us Weekly says it just happened last week…? And now Jeremy has taken the time to confirm everything, including his baby daughter’s name!

Jeremy Renner is tackling his most challenging — and most rewarding! — role yet: fatherhood! The two-time Academy Award nominee and his ex-girlfriend welcomed a baby girl on Thursday, March 28, two sources confirm exclusively to Us Weekly.

Update: The actor’s rep confirms the birth of baby Ava Berlin Renner. “They are beyond thrilled,” the spokesperson says. “Mother and daughter are doing great.”

The Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters actor told Eva Longoria about his baby news at the Golden Globes on Jan. 13, as exclusively reported in the Jan. 28 issue of Us Weekly. Renner, 42, was overheard saying, “‘I’m going to fly in when her water breaks,’” two witnesses revealed. “Then Eva said, ‘I’m so blown away.’”

The Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol star put his ex-girlfriend up in his L.A. home as they awaited the arrival of their firstborn. “They used to date but it wasn’t serious,” an insider explained, adding that Renner was “being ultra-secretive about it, but she has been going on about her life and not hiding it.”

Says a pal, “Jeremy will make a great dad!”

Ava Berlin Renner. Ava Renner. Call me crazy, but I kind of like it. I wonder if Sonni picked it out or if Jeremy had a say. I feel like his input might have been the “Berlin”? He seems like the kind of dude who suggests “Berlin” as a name. I’m not disrespecting the Berlin name – it pairs surprisingly well with Ava. And before now, I never realized how much I like the last name “Renner”. It’s a good name! Anyway, congrats to Jeremy and Sonni.

Here are some photos of last night’s LA premiere of Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. Have you seen the ads for that? This movie looks AWFUL! Like, it’s not even going to be campy fun. It just looks terrible. Anyway, I’m including photos of three of the film’s stars, Jeremy Renner (Hansel), Gemma Arterton (Gretel) and Famke Janssen (I have no idea what she plays). Gemma looks gorgeous and amazing. Famke looks… well… I’m not sure this shade of green is her color, let’s say that. As for Jeremy… I’m surprised he walked the carpet alone. No baby-mama, no “roommate”! As Radar revealed earlier this week, Jeremy’s baby-mama is a 22-year-old Canadian woman, and even though she and Jeremy are no longer dating, she’s still living with him (and his roommate!). The Enquirer’s print & online edition had more details about the arrangement:

Jeremy Renner has one of Hollywood’s wildest living arrangements! The 42-year-old bachelor is enjoying his own modern family, staying under the same roof with both his close pal Griffin Hadley and his pregnant ex-girl­friend Sonni Pacheco. Renner met Sonni, a 22-year-old model, on the Vancouver set of “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol,” where she was working as a stand-in.

“When Jeremy returned to Vancouver to film ‘The Bourne Legacy,’ they hooked up again and started staying together at the same hotel,” revealed a friend.

Now, she’s living at his L.A. home, awaiting the birth of their baby.

“Jeremy is delighted he’s going to become a dad,” said the friend. “He realizes it’s unconventional to have his baby mama, an ex-girlfriend, living with him and his roommate, but he just doesn’t care.

“There have been whispers about him being gay or bisexual for years. But he says those rumors are just a sign of him having made it in Holly­wood.”

Meanwhile, Sonni is due to deliver their baby girl in early April, but they haven’t chosen a name yet.

The Canadian beauty is a spokeswoman for Monster Energy drink and says on the company website: “I grew up on a farm, catching frogs and doing boyish stuff, so I could definitely have been called a tomboy.”

Even though Jeremy and Sonni have broken up, they’re both delighted about the baby.

“He’s very supportive and makes sure she has everything she needs,” said the friend.

Jeremy is single and has often spo­ken about being lonely. In late 2011, he bought a French bulldog named Franklin to keep him company, but tragedy struck when the puppy passed away last March.

“Jeremy was devastated when Franklin died unexpectedly,” said the source. “But now he can’t wait to be­come a dad.”

[From National Enquirer]

Well, that answers my questions as to WHEN their relationship began – if they started hooking up/dating when Jeremy filmed The Bourne Legacy, that would have been… early 2011, correct? So Sonni would have been 21-ish. At least she wasn’t a teenager! I guess. Yes, Jeremy is skeevy for going around and hooking up with 21-year-old chicas (he’s 42 – literally twice her age). But I think some of you need to pick your battles! You can’t be mad at him for impregnating a girl half his age AND think that he and his roommate are gay lovers. Pick a conspiracy theory and stick with it! (For what it’s worth, I think he’s straight and he likes girls in their early 20s.)

These photos are from August 2012 – Jeremy Renner and a mystery woman going out to lunch in LA. The girl was not identified at the time, although there was some speculation that she was Jeremy’s latest girlfriend. Now these photos are being used again with the story about Jeremy’s under-the-radar impregnation of an ex-girlfriend. Is it the same lady? Radar/The Enquirer says so. They say that this lovely, big-busted woman (who looks sort of like Megan Fox with 20 wonderful pounds of muscle and boob?) is a 22-year-old model named Sonni Pacheco. Allegedly, she’s Canadian. And now she and her bump are living with her ex-boyfriend and baby-daddy Jeremy Renner, because he’s just that kind of guy.

Bourne Legacy star Jeremy Renner is going to be a first time father at the age of 42, and the baby mama has been revealed as his ex-flame Sonni Pacheco.

According to the National Enquirer, Sonni is a 22-year-old model from Vancouver, British Columbia and the two met on the set of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.

“Jeremy is delighted he’s going to become a dad,” a friend told the Enquirer, adding that Sonni is living in Jeremy’s home in Los Angeles.

“He realizes it’s unconventional to have his baby mama, an ex-girlfriend, living with him and his roommate, but he just doesn’t care.”

To find out more exclusive details on Jeremy’s baby mama and when the baby is due, pick up the new issue of National Enquirer — on newsstands Thursday.

Well… it would make sense, I guess. If he met Sonni while he was filming MI:GP, that would have been…summer 2010, I think. Which means Jeremy met Sonni when she was just, like, 19 years old. Oh. Is he “that guy”? The guy who likes ‘em young (but legal)? The guy who likes ‘em busty and nubile? Yes. Jeremy Renner is totally that guy. This might seem totally off-side and we’ll probably never know, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he was still “dating” Sonni, as in, they were still sleeping together. I’m sure he’s dating other ladies too, but I think Jeremy is just that guy. He looks like a forlorn puppy… women can’t help themselves.

I was never on the “Jeremy Renner is totes gay” bandwagon. I get that the “evidence” is that he has a close business relationship and personal friendship with that guy he calls his “brother” in interviews. But I always thought Jeremy was into girls. Not just into girls, but that he was probably kind of an under-the-radar womanizer, especially after he got super-famous. And now here’s some evidence of not only his raging heterosexuality, but of the idea that he’s a love ‘em and leave ‘em kind of guy: Jeremy Renner got an ex-girlfriend pregnant.

Jeremy Renner shared some big news with Eva Longoria on the smoking patio at the Golden Globes Jan. 13: He’s going to be a father! The Bourne Legacy actor, 42, “was saying, ‘I’m going to fly in when her water breaks,’” two witnesses tell Us Weekly exclusively.

“Then Eva said, ‘I’m so blown away.’” Shocking, but true. Multiple sources confirm to Us that an ex-girlfriend of the actor is due to give birth next month. “they used to date but it wasn’t serious,” explains one insider, adding that the expectant mom is currently living in Renner’s L.A. home.”

The Hollywood hunk is “being ultra-secretive about it,” the insider adds, “but she has been going on about her life and not hiding it.” Last April, the resolutely private actor shut down longstanding false rumors that he was gay, telling The Hollywood Reporter, “I want my personal life to be personal, and it’s not f-cking true.”

The Oscar-nominated actor also spoke to the magazine about his four-year relationship with ex-girlfriend, actress Jess Macallan. They met when Macallan was 23 and working at a film festival in Florida; she later decided to become an actress, which contributed to their split in 2010.

“That was part of the issue,” Renner explained of Macallan, who is now married. “I was going through the Hurt Locker campaign and she’s like, ‘Where do I get headshots?’”

[From Us Weekly]

Wait, so is Us Weekly saying that this Jess Macallan woman is the one who’s pregnant? Or is this just further evidence of his under-the-radar studness? Unknown. Anyway, Jeremy Renner is going to be a father. How does that make you feel? I feel like… it’s okay. Knocking someone up and still considering her your “ex-girlfriend” but letting her live in your house? For some reason, that seems like something Jeremy Renner would do. It doesn’t some weird to me at all.

By and far, the name of the evening for the LAMCA Art + Film event was Gucci. Keeping with the theme of the evening, Amber Heard wore a black Gucci dress with matching, open-toed, multi-strapped Gucci Lisbeth pumps, and the dress itself wasn’t bad at all. It was very figure-flattering, and Amber pulled the short length and sleeveless aspect off well. Now as for that “statement” necklace around her neck, I just don’t know what she was thinking. I suppose it fancies things up quite a bit with what would have otherwise been just another little black dress, right?

Amber is a gorgeous woman, and even though I’m still getting used to her with dark hair (for her role in Paranoia), she has a great presence on the red carpet. She definitely made a good choice going with an updo and bold lipstick (with matching nails) for this dress. Still not sure about that necklace though. I think if it had been missing those little “fans” at the top, it would have been okay. As it stands, the necklace is far too much of a “statement” piece.

Minka Kelly and Chris Evans both attended the event but walked the red carpet separately. Minka has certainly been embracing the maxi-dress trend lately, hasn’t she? Girl’s got such a great figure, and I’ve got no idea why she’s hiding it (cue vicious pregnancy rumors?), but this particular maxi dress is Gucci as well. She also avoided giving sideboob in manner of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Good for Minka.

Florence Welch loves her weird ass fashion, and Gucci was able to fit the bill here with this blue-violet, chiffon gown. This is a very severe look, but Florence is not a subtle woman by any stretch. Her hair and makeup are appropriate(ly weird) too, but I would have added a simple and sparkly necklace to complete the look.

Jeremy Renner was there too, bitches. He looked exactly like he always does at an event, but I’m not complaining.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were also in attendance! I don’t know who designed this spangly, shapeless, sleeveless, grey dress, but I’m guessing it was Gucci as well. Rita looks like she’s having a great time, but I can’t believe she’s gone ombre. Some subtle, all-around highlights would have made her hair look excellent. Her foundation/powder is also a bit too pale for her skintone, so she seems a bit ghostly.

The new trailer for Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters has arrived, and I’m astonished at the pure awfulness of the project. Obviously, the movie stills and set candids we’ve seen so far already made it quite clear that this would be no masterpiece, but at least the film looked like it might be a cheesy good time with the likes of an easy-on-the-eyes pair — Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton. Then again, this is one of those “cool” attempts to reinvent a fairy tale, and those usually end in disaster, but I’m wondering exactly why Renner signed onto this mess. Did he fall prey during one of those moments where his agent suggested diversity in projects; as in, “Son, you’ve appeared in far too many criticially acclaimed and financially successful movies over the past five years. It’s time to mix it up and do a really crappy film.” Or maybe someone blackmailed him into this mess. Here’s the trailer, and we’ll discuss below:

This looks terrible, right? And not in a good way. Overally, I’m feeling very ashamed that I can’t even get it up when Renner pulls the trigger on that gun because — let’s face it — the man knows how to wield a weapon and look very sexy while doing so. Here though, the hackneyed story and the awkward, mechanical dialogue do nothing to quell the “reinvented fairy tale” gimmick. What’s even more telling is that this movie was originally set to arrive in theaters on March 1, 2012 but has been pushed back until next January, which is widely known as the month designated as a cinematic wasteland. All apologies to Jeremy Renner (whom I adore as an actor, and he’s got a cute little bubble butt too), but I won’t be watching this movie at all.

Sometimes when I’m just covering photos from a premiere, I have to stop myself from going for the knee-jerk “this is what [random actress] wore”. This is one of the occasions. Although I could (and will!) discuss Rachel Weisz’s appearances at the Deauville Film Festival to promote The Bourne Legacy, let’s take a rare moment to start with Jeremy Renner, shall we? Now, I unapologetically adore Jeremy Renner. I flat-out LOVE him, if truth be told. He’s a talented actor, he gives a great interview, he’s delightfully weird, and now I know… he fancies himself a Fashion Boy. How else to explain this outfit at The Bourne Legacy photo call? Shiny pants? Check. Two-tone suede shoes? Check. A waiter’s too-stiff shirt (with the cuffs rolled up)? Check. A KICK-ASS VEST? CHECK. WTF is this vest? It’s ridiculous and beautiful and hilarious and it just makes me happy. The vest has the kind of giant, gaudy buttons that would make Duchess Kate squeal with joy. The vest is super-fancy… too fancy for Renner. Jeremy Renner IS Vesty McButtons.

As for Rachel Weisz… OMG HER FACE. I love her face so much. So much that I basically don’t care what she wears, although I do think she could do much better than these two dresses. The orange Sonia Rykiel dress (for the photo call) is kind of unflattering over all – not the best design, not the best color. The white Nina Ricci (for the Deauville premiere) is too bridal for my taste, plus I’m just not a big fan of tiers. I’ve seen her look so much better, basically.

Jeremy Renner got the memo! Jon Hamm and Daniel Craig must have sent out a memo to all of the “real men” of Hollywood. The memo that reads: “Dear Men: Whenever you’re interviewed next, drop in a moment where you mention how the Kardashians are vacuous wastes of oxygen. KTHXBAI.” Daniel Craig got the ball rolling last year, when he dropped this bitchy gem in an interview with GQ UK: “Look at the Kardashians, they’re worth millions. I don’t think they were that badly off to begin with but now look at them. You see that and you think ‘what, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f–king idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions.’ I’m not judging it – well, I am obviously.” Then Jon Hamm did it in a UK magazine earlier this year, mentioning, “Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated…Being a f**king idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you’re rewarded significantly.” Do you see the new trend? So, Jeremy Renner did it in an interview with The Guardian – you can read the whole thing here, and here are some highlights:

Renner first realised he was seriously famous in a series of (his words) “pinch-me” moments that began shortly after he was nominated for an Oscar for The Hurt Locker. “One minute I’m homeless. The next I’m still homeless, but I’m in a tuxedo, on my way to the Oscars, stopping at a coffee shop to brush my teeth because I don’t have running water. The next minute, Jack Nicholson, someone I’ve admired my entire life, is right in front of me saying my name. Then he’s saying the names of two movies I did and I’m like, ‘Jesus, all I wanted to do was be in a movie that would play in a big enough theatre that my family would get to see it. And now this.’ What can I say? It’s weird.”

Renner is irritated be the idea that people get into acting because they want to be famous. “I know it’s a cliche but I never wanted to be famous. I don’t believe anybody wants to be famous.” But now that he is, Renner has had to endure the usual scurrilous rumours, including the ones about him and his best friend, with whom he operates a successful real estate business. Renner sighs.

“I talked to some other friends of mine about the rumours when I first heard them. I said, ‘Have you seen this?’ and they were like, ‘Dude, do you know how long that’s been online?’ Look up any actor and it’s the second thing that comes up. So I have gay rumours – guess I’ve made it!”

Renner is charmingly candid – no media-trained platitudes or overly-supportive spew in sight. It’s refreshing. When we talk about the pitfalls of fame, I mention the Kardashians and he doesn’t hesitate to roll his eyes and make his disdain crystal clear. “Oh, all those ridiculous people with zero talent who spend their lives making sure everyone knows their name. Those stupid, stupid people.” He’s also clear about what he considers a good, bad or painful interview.

“I know I have to do this stuff, and that’s fine,” he says, warming suddenly to the subject after a pretty languid half-hour. “I get that it’s part of the job. But when you have to answer stuff like, ‘So if Hawkeye and Jason Bourne got in a fight, who would win?’ you’re like ‘Next motherf–king question please!’ I mean, come on man. I get that one a lot and, Jesus, it really does make me wonder what the hell people are reading this for.”

[From The Guardian]

LOL. At least Renner didn’t use the exact same “f—king idiot” wording. Renner just says they’re “ridiculous people” and “those stupid, stupid people.” I wonder if Kim Kardashian will try to issue a statement about Jeremy, like she did with Jon Hamm? I hope so. Just because it would be funny.

It also strikes me that in all of these male bitch-fests about the Kardashians, they’ve all gone down in UK publications. I’ve begun to wonder if the UK celebrity/gossip world has some kind of weird fascination with the Kardashians too – like, maybe the UK people don’t really “get” why the Kardashians are a thing, so they just bring them up in random interviews? Of course, the UK press shouldn’t get on their high horse. They’re the ones propping up people like Katie Price (who is worse than Kim Kardashian, IMO).

Kim tweeted this photo a few days ago, by the way. I honestly could not stop staring at her ass for, like, a full five minutes. I think it hypnotized me.
