Eva Mendes looked really Botoxy at ‘The Other Guys’ premiere

wenn5522486

These are some new photos of Eva Mendes at The Other Guys premiere last night. I’m kind of “meh” on her dress (which I think is Oscar de la Renta), but her styling is crap. As I’ve mentioned before, I never really know what to think of her. She always seems drunk or high on the red carpet, and she poses like she thinks she’s the sexiest thing ever – which is what she always talks about in interviews, how sexy she is. Eh. Also: is it just me or does her face look jacked? Is it just the way she‘s making faces, or has Eva been ‘Toxing? One more thing: Perez Hilton claims that Eva might have a sex tape about to hit the Internet today – because I guess her film is coming out and what better way to promote it, right? Here are the photos that make me think she’s Botoxing:

Here are some more photos from the premiere. Mark Wahlberg looks adorable (and short!) and Samuel Jackson looked like a bad motherf-cker, as always. Also: look at Horatio Sanz! Damn, that boy is really cute!

What happened to Mark Wahlberg’s once-amazing body?

38619pcn_wahlbergfat06

These are photos of Mark Wahlberg on the LA set of The Fighter. You may remember hearing about this movie last year, around July and August, because photos of Christian Bale, looking very, very thin and drawn and crackhead-esque, were circulating widely. I think they’re doing some reshoots, maybe? Otherwise, this project has been filming for something like nine months. Anyway, we actually heard mostly about Bale and the physical transformation he was undergoing to play boxer-turned-trainer-turned-crackhead Dicky Eklund. But it looks like Mark Wahlberg, who is playing “Irish” Micky Ward, Eklund’s half-brother, also went through his own physical transformation. I call this transformation, “The Gerard Butler”. I actually got a little nauseous when the cameras caught the light glistening off Mark’s moobs.

Now, does Mark look terrible? No. It’s just that the formative image I have of him is the Calvin Klein stuff more than a decade ago, when his abs were his calling card. Critical acclaim, an Oscar nomination and four babies later, Mark has puffed out to the point where I did a double take when I came across these photos. But seriously, he doesn’t look terrible. Some people still like him. And hopefully he’ll get back into shape when the movie is over? Maybe?

He still has a cute butt, though.

Calvin Klein: Kate Moss was difficult, hated Mark Wahlberg

ck11

Oh, snap! You know how you never really hear anything bad about Kate Moss as a professional? Sure, you hear about her drug use, and her crackhead boyfriends (cough Doherty cough), but I’d always come away with the impression that Kate was a true professional when she was working. Not so much, apparently, at least according to Calvin Klein.

With her earnings a fifth of what they were two years ago — she had to get by on a paltry £1million last year — Kate Moss has just taken another blow to her amour-propre, courtesy of Calvin Klein.

Klein, recalling the time he cast Moss and Mark Wahlberg in a series of advertisements in the Eighties, says she was, while “a great model,” a “difficult” person to work with. “It didn’t go too well. She didn’t like him at all. He was a pleasure. I have worked with so many women, great ones, and Kate was always difficult.”

[From Telegraph]

Just looking up these old ads has gotten me hot. Damn, remember when Mark was the bomb? I mean, he’s still pretty cool (hello, The Departed!), but back in the day, he was crazy, dangerous and unbelievably sexy. I still remember being very young and looking at these ads and feeling naughty. I thought for sure that Kate and Mark were probably doing it like rabbits. Turns out, Kate was a diva! And Mark was the good one. Who knew?

Mark Wahlberg’s wife Rhea gives birth to couple’s fourth child

wenn2121424

Throw another one onto the pile! No, no, that was rude. Mark Wahlberg and his beautiful wife Rhea Durham have welcomed their fourth child, a little girl. The baby was born Monday evening in Los Angeles, and Mark and Rhea decided to keep on going with the nice, traditional baby names – they’ve named her Margaret Grace. Maggie Grace (you know that’s what they’ll call her) joins her big siblings Ella (age 6), Michael (age 4) and Brendan (age 1). So, now it’s even right? Two girls, two boys.

Mark Wahlberg and his wife of six months, Rhea Durham, welcomed their fourth child Monday night, Jan. 11, at 6:35 pm.

The couple had a daughter named Margaret Grace at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, a source tells Star.

Mark’s new film The Lovely Bones opens across the country later this month and the couple is on cloud nine with the birth of their baby.

The Wahlbergs, who only married last August in Beverly Hills after having three kids together, are over the moon with their fourth child and Mommy and baby are both doing well.

“Mark was in the delivery room with Rhea,” says the source. “And he cheered her on all the way. Rhea was a real trouper, and now they can’t wait to get home and be a big happy family with their four kids.”

Rhea and Mark’s three older children are Ella, 6, Michael, 4 and Brendan who is 1.

[From Star Magazine]

Congratulations to the happy family! I’m sure Rhea will be knocked up again in no time. I’m serious. I’ll give Rhea so much credit though – she seems to love being pregnant, and she always has a drop-dead gorgeous pregnancy, and all of their kids seem happy and healthy, so God bless.

I just wanted to bring up one more thing, just because these comments seem to be getting some press. Mark gave an interview to British Cosmopolitan Magazine to promote The Lovely Bones (where he plays the father of the murdered girl, Susie Salmon). Mark ended up talking about his relationship with Rhea, and the results were… weird.

Mark Wahlberg took his now-wife to church on their first date, it has been revealed.

The ‘Lovely Bones’ actor wanted to share his faith with Rhea Durham – who he married last August and is currently expecting his fourth child with – as soon as they met and admits it made a lasting impression on her.

He said: “We met through a mutual friend in New York. I asked if she wanted to hang out the next day and she did, so I said: ‘Well, come to church with me.’

“She was raised a Christian, not a Catholic like me. She did come – and now she’s converted.”

Mark says he and Rhea always try to keep their romance alive in their relationship by setting aside time for one another.

He explained to Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine: “I try to be romantic. Having kids means once they’re in bed, being romantic is cuddling on the couch and watching TV.

“But we do have date nights every week. I have one with my daughter and one with mommy.”

[From Ireland Online]

Two things are getting play. First, the “She was raised a Christian, not a Catholic like me. She did come – and now she’s converted.” Maybe he just said what he meant the wrong way, but I was under the impression that Catholics were Christians…? And secondly, the whole “I’m super-religious” thing is strange when their first three children were born before Mark and Rhea were married. I mean, no judgment, and I don’t really care either way, but don’t play the “I’m such a good Catholic” card when you had three babies out of wedlock. It reminded me of twice-divorced Jennifer Lopez’s comments about how she was so “traditional”.

Mark Wahlberg & Rhea Durham are probably expecting fourth child

wenn2554829
Not to be crass, but I really think Mark Wahlberg is one of those Catholics who takes that whole “no birth control” thing really, really seriously. My other theory is that Rhea just loves having sex with Mark. If that’s their thing… well, more power to her. He looks like he would be good in bed. Quiet, but intense. Mm… sorry, I lost my train of thought. In case you didn’t guess it, People Magazine is wondering aloud if Rhea Dunham (Rhea Wahlberg?) is knocked up again, based on these pictures. We’ve said it before – if People Magazine is running with the story, it’s like they’re holding the Clear Blue Easy in their hands as they’re typing. Rhea and Mark already have three children together – Ella Rae, 5, Michael, 3, and Brendan Joseph, 11 months – and they just got married in early August. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that it was a shot-gun wedding, although can it still be called that is she’s pregnant for the fourth time?

It appears as though there are no shortage of reasons for Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham to celebrate.

Fresh on the heels of their Aug. 1 wedding, Durham was spotted on Sunday at The Grove in Los Angeles sporting quite the baby bump. Though no official announcement has been made, a source says the couple are expecting their fourth child.

Already parents to Ella Rae, who is about to turn 6, Michael, 3, and Brendan Joseph, 11 months, the couple have made no secret of their desire for a big family.

Last summer, Wahlberg – 38-year-old executive producer of HBO’s Entourage – joked that “when the kids are good, we want eight or nine.” He went on to call life in a full house “hectic … but a lot of fun.”

The actor’s rep did not respond to requests for comment.

Next up for Wahlberg is the Peter Jackson-directed feature film The Lovely Bones opposite Rachel Weisz, in theaters on Dec. 11.

[From People]

In these pictures, Rhea does look pregnant – like, second trimester pregnant. It’s not just a weird shirt, bad posture, gas or a food baby. Knocked up again! Well, congratulations to the happy family if it’s true. This also might explain something that was nagging at me about Mark and Rhea’s wedding – I was bothered by her shapeless empire-waist wedding gown. I think a lot of Rhea’s beauty – she’s totally gorgeous – but that dress and her styling was not very good. The answer might be that she didn’t want to announce she was knocked up again, and was trying to hide a small baby bump with a bad dress.

Mark Wahlberg is worried costar Christian Bale has an eating disorder

fp_3336499_bale_wahlberg_ex
Over the past two months, we’ve seen a lot of pictures coming out from the set of The Fighter, the true story of boxer-turned-trainer-turned-crackhead Dicky Eklund. Christian Bale plays Eklund, and Mark Wahlberg costars as “Irish” Micky Ward, Eklund’s half-brother. Apparently, Bale and Wahlberg have become quite close on the set – close enough that Mark is really, really worried about Christian Bale’s weight loss. The photos coming out of the set are not flattering for Bale – he is playing a crackhead, after all. Bale is rather famous for his extreme “method” acting, and his habit of taking on extremes when preparing a character. His habit seems to be to take a role where he has to loose an extreme amount of weight, then he takes on a role where he has to really buff up. Mark Wahlberg is trying to convince Bale that he can’t keep doing this to his body:

“You gotta eat man. You’re messing with your health!” Mark Wahlberg made that desperate plea to co-star Christian Bale when Bale continued to starve himself after dropping more than 40 pounds for their film “The Fighter” sources say.

“Christian is a method actor,” a Hollywood insider told the Enquirer. “If a role calls for him to look like a drug dealer, or he has to play someone who hasn’t slept in a year, he’ll go without food to look the part.”

“But the danger comes after he takes off that weight, and then eats everything in sight to put it back on for the next role. That kind of yo-yo dieting can be deadly. Mark and Christian are friends, and Mark is concerned about him.”

[Christian] looks scarily skeletal for his role as a boxer-turned-trainer who’s nearly KO’s by drugs and crime in “The Fighter”.

“It’s crazy. Christian has been living on fruit and water. He’s emaciated,” the source said. “Besides eating practically nothing, he exercises a lot to keep the weight off.

Wahlberg – a health fanatic who worked himself into great shape to play a champion boxer in “The Fighter” – has begged Bale to stop dieting, said the source.

“Mark feels Christian is taking the whole ‘in character’ thing too far. He’s afraid Christian is getting Karen Carpenter-thin, and he’s worried about his heart,” the source divulged.

“He wants Christian to realize that acting is a job, and it’s not worth risking your health.”

[From the National Enquirer, print edition, August 31 2009]

I totally agree with Mark “Say Hello To Your Mutha” Wahlberg, if this report is true. I’m kind of beyond expressing my appreciation for Bale’s extreme physical transformations. If it was just once, for a role that was incredible and groundbreaking, and a story that needed to be told, perhaps I would appreciate it more. But Bale seems to consistently choose parts that allow him to engage in a eating disorder while calling it “art”. It’s not healthy, physically or psychologically. And Bale is doing real, permanent damage to his body – I don’t buy that Bale keeps loosing this weight with the help and approval of nutritionists and doctors. I think he’s doing it without any advice at all. I hope film producers are taking note, and reconsidering Bale for certain roles that they know will only feed his eating disorder.

George Clooney’s wedding gift to Mark Wahlberg was douchey

clooneywahlberg
Two weekends ago, Mark Wahlberg finally married Rhea Durham, the mother of his three children. Personally, I think Rhea deserved some kind of award for putting up with his crap for so many years, but she still stuck around until she got the ring, so whatever. The wedding was held at a Catholic church in Beverly Hills, and Rhea wore Marchesa. It was all very lovely. But, according to the National Enquirer, there was something not-so-lovely about one of the wedding gifts the couple received.

The gift came from Mark’s Three Kings costar and friend, George Clooney. Guess what Clooney sent? Scented candles? A serving platter? A toaster? Not so much. According to the Enquirer, it was a package including “a ball and chain; handcuffs; a straightjacket inscribed with his name; and a photo of Marky Mark peering forlornly through jalihouse bars.” Ah… funny?

To his closest pals, prankster George Clooney will forever be “George Clown-ey” for wacky stunts like… sending buddy Mark Wahlberg a wedding gift that arrived just before his “I do” to new bride Rhea Durham – who definitely did NOT echo Almost Hubby’s delighted belly-laugh when he opened the box and found: a ball and chain; handcuffs; a straightjacket inscribed with his name; and a photo of Marky Mark peering forlornly through jalihouse bars.

Clown-ey ships the same hilarious gift to pals preparing to walk The Last Mile… er, I mean walk down the aisle.

[From the National Enquirer, print edition, August 24 2009]

I think what disturbs me most of all is the idea that Clooney sends this “prank” wedding gift to all of his soon-to-be hitched friends. Where is that line between “prank” and “really rude”? You know what this reminds me of? Mad Men. Granted, I have Mad Men on the brain (it premieres THIS SUNDAY!!!), but I think the reference is apt. It’s that sort of retro, outdated, misogynistic “marriage is bondage for men” idea. Granted, for some men, marriage is bondage. But it’s bondage for a lot of women too! And why shouldn’t Mark marry Rhea, if that’s what she wanted? For goodness sake. Sometimes I just hate Clooney.

Mark Wahlberg finally marries baby-mama Rhea Durham

fp_3349815_wahlberg_mark_du
It seems like forever, but Mark Wahlberg and his on-off girlfriend/fiancé Rhea Durham finally got married this weekend. They couple already has three children together – Ella Rae (age 5), Michael (age 3) and Brendan (age 10 months). Mark and Rhea have been “engaged” for years now, but last fall Mark finally seemed to be buckling down and getting serious about marrying Rhea, specifically in a “small, Catholic” ceremony. And yes, I realize that Rhea could conceivably be the one to be holding up this marriage, but I doubt it.

Months ago, Mark claimed that he didn’t want his wedding to become some kind of media spectacle, and it looks like he sort of got his wish. We’ve got lots of pictures outside of the Beverly Hills church, but it doesn’t look like the paparazzi were invasive. And we get to see Rhea’s wedding dress! It’s Marchesa, and I’m not loving it. The bead work looks shoddy and bust is too tight. And even though I think Rhea is gorgeous, I wish she had done something different with her hair. But it’s not my wedding, so God bless. I’m sure she was thrilled. Mark looks like he’s still drunk from the bachelor party, doesn’t he?

Mark Wahlberg has finally made it official! The actor and his longtime girlfriend, model Rhea Durham, tied the knot on Saturday, PEOPLE has confirmed.

The couple, who have three children – Ella Rae, 5, Michael, 3, and 10-month-old Brendan Joseph – were married Saturday in an intimate and romantic ceremony attended by their children and about 12 close friends and family at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Beverly Hills.

Wahlberg donned a dark suit and the bride wore a white strapless Marchesa dress with silver embroidery and a Neil Lane diamond-and-platinum cushion-cut ring complemented by a diamond bracelet and earrings. “She looked like a princess and beyond stunning. Mark looked ecstatic,” says an eyewitness shortly after the ceremony, which lasted for about 45 minutes in the church, which was decorated with candles and pink and light purple roses.

The groom-to-be, 38, spent a quiet pre-wedding moment alone at the church Friday afternoon. Wahlberg, looking happy and relaxed, sat down in the front row before returning home to his Beverly Hills home for a small gathering.

Wahlberg revealed earlier this year his plans to wed Durham, 31. “We’re talking about August,” he told PEOPLE. At the time, he had yet to decide whether he would marry in his Boston hometown. “It will be in a Catholic church somewhere.”

As for adding more children to their brood? “I’m the youngest of nine,” Wahlberg said, adding that the final count will be “however many Mom wants to have.”

Wahlberg, who is the executive producer of HBO’s hit show Entourage, will next star in the Peter Jackson-directed feature film The Lovely Bones opposite Rachel Weisz, in theaters on December 11.

[From People]

Congratulations to the happy couple. I think Ella Rae was the flower girl, she seems to be part of the ceremony in her pretty little white dress, that mimics her mom’s wedding gown. I don’t see their two sons in the pics, so maybe one of Mark’s nephews acted as the ring bearer. I wonder which brother or best friend he used as best man?

On just a side note, because People put it at the end – I am so looking forward to Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones. It’s one of my favorite books, and I think the combination of Mark (as the father of the murdered girl) and Rachel Weisz (as the mother) will be incredible. My guess is that Mark will pick up his second Oscar nomination, it’s such a great role for him.

Mark Wahlberg shirtless, buff & bloodied on set

fp_3269055_fighter_set_excl
I sat through the 2001 Planet of The Apes remake silently praying the whole time that Mark Wahlberg would take his shirt off in at least one scene. Even when his damn space capsule crash landed in water, Wahlberg didn’t remove his shirt at all, nor did he wear a white shirt that got soaked to the best of my memory. It’s a shame, because that crapfest could have been moderately improved with several scenes of Wahlberg’s rippling abs.

It’s nice to see that over 15 years since the Marky Mark “Good Vibrations” video and Calvin Klein underwear ads, the 38 year-old father of three is still in top condition. Wahlberg wore some boxing shorts and little else except fake facial injuries on the Massachusetts set of The Fighter, the true story about two boxing brothers from South Boston who went out to face hard times when their careers ended. Yesterday we saw photos of Christian Bale looking shockingly thin on set. He plays Wahlberg’s half brother, who became addicted to crack.

Wahlberg plays “Irish” Mickey Ward, and according to Wikipedia the retired boxer is “best known for his trilogy of fights with the late Arturo Gatti” in the mid-90s. Ward’s older brother, Dickie Eklund, fought against Sugar Ray Leonard in 1978, and it looks like Leonard has at least a cameo in the film, as he was photographed on set. The film also stars Oscar nominated actresses Amy Adams and Melissa Leo. Leo is shown looking classy with poofy hair and a white button-up dress in the photos below.

Thanks to Fame Pictures for these photos, taken on set yesterday

Christian Bale looking manorexic again

fighter1
Christian Bale, 35, lost a third of his body weight for his role as a troubled industrial worker in 2004′s The Machinist. He dropped 63 pounds on a diet of just coffee, cigarettes and an apple a day. He said of his massive weight loss that it was a goal he was determined to meet. “I wouldn’t have done that amount of weight loss if I hadn’t thought the movie itself was worth seeing. It was kind of a goal that I wanted to achieve and prove to myself I could manage.”

Five years later and Bale looks super skinny again. He was photographed on the set of his film “The Fighter,” a true life tale about a boxer from Massachusetts who ended up addicted to crack cocaine. The film also stars Mark Wahlberg as his younger brother, boxer “Irish” Micky Ward, and Amy Adams:

Christian Bale has been a master of reinvention when it comes to transforming his body for his various roles, but the sight of the gaunt Welsh actor Monday afternoon on set of “The Fighter” raises suspicions as to the nature of his health. Though Bale is playing boxer-turned trainer-turned-drug addict Dickie Eklund in the film, his hollowed features seem extreme for a man who bulked up to play the muscly caped crusader in last year’s Batman. Bale is a notorious method actor and lost a staggering 63 pounds for the film The Machinist only to regain it all back and then some for the first Batman installment. Is his metabolism and ultimately his health being adversely affected by the excessive weight fluctuation?

[From Fame Pictures' photo description]

Bale is clutching an apple in these pictures. Is that all he had to eat that day? The film is set in the early 80s and I love the outfits Bale and Wahlberg are wearing. As grumpy as Wahlberg is, he’s one of my favorite actors and I loved the tough but honest cop he played in The Departed. I’m kind of “meh” on Christian Bale, but he did make Batman watchable again. He’s definitely committed to his craft, you can say that for him.

It’s hard to tell if The Fighter will be a great film or not – it’s directed by David O. Russell (I Heart Huckabees, Three Kings) and written by Paul Attanasio (“Homicide: Life on the Street,” The Good German) and Lewis Colick (Beyond The Sea, Ladder 49). It’s not out until 2011, and Bale will surely be looking back to normal by then.

Thanks to Fame Pictures for these photos
