American Humane Association condemns Hobbit production company after 27 animals die


Update: An earlier version of this article incorrectly attributed these comments to the Humane Society. It was in fact The American Humane Association, a separate organization, which spoke out against the producers of The Hobbit. The Humane Society emailed us that “The Humane Society of the United States is not affiliated with AHA and we have not made a comment about the film or the unfortunate death of these animals.” We are sorry for the confusion and for misattributing those comments.


Apparently 27 animals died on a farm that was connected with production for The Hobbit, including three horses, over a dozen chickens and several goats and sheep. Some of the deaths sound like neglect and abuse, including a horse being tied up by its legs for hours, and chickens dying due to exposure. Other animal deaths were due to the poor conditions on the farm where the animals were being kept. The farm had a lot of dangerous terrain like sinkholes, creeks and dropoffs. Even more horses suffered injuries that were serious but not fatal. Four horse trainers repeatedly warned production that the animals were in danger, but their pleas fell on deaf ears and more animals needlessly died. It’s very sad and seems more than preventable. (You can read more about it here.)

Of course PETA weighed in on this early, and now a more legitimate animal rights organization, The American Humane Association, has condemned the production company. Representatives from The American Humane Association did visit the set in New Zealand to make sure animals were being treated properly. They signed off on production, but didn’t see the poor conditions where the animals were being housed until many animals perished.

In light of the shocking revelation that 27 animals died during filming of the The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the American Humane Association has issued a statement slamming the safety on the blockbuster movie set.

“The injuries and deaths of animals living at the working farm where some of the animal actors from The Hobbit were also being housed were needless and unacceptable,” said the association, which has protected more than a million animals and claims to have a 99.98 percent safety record, in an e-mail to RadarOnline.com.

“The organization renewed its call to the entertainment industry asking for additional jurisdiction and funding to keep animal actors safe not only while they are working on set, but off set as well to address illegitimate suppliers of animals and to ensure proper training, housing and retirement of these important and beloved co-stars of film and television.”

The AHA had previously come under fire by PETA as despite there being a representative at the Wellington, New Zealand, filming location, wranglers revealed shockingly dangerous conditions on the farm, that was filled with bluffs, sinkholes and other “death traps.”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, four of the trainers on Peter Jackson’s latest installment of the fantasy franchise became whistleblowers and divulged details including the deaths of three horses and numerous sheep, goats, and chickens, sparking an investigation by PETA spanning several months.

In defense of their staff member, the AHA President and CEO Dr. Robin Ganzert revealed to Radar, “We are currently only empowered to monitor animal actors while they are working on production sets. We do not have either the jurisdiction or funding to extend that oversight to activities or conditions off set or before animals come under our protection.

“There are too many incidents off the set and this must stop. It is vital that we work with the industry to bring the kind of protection we have for animals during filming to all phases of production.

“Because of American Humane Association’s monitoring of the animal action, which included having a licensed veterinarian on the scene, no animals were harmed on set during filming of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

“However, upon learning of injuries and deaths of animals while being housed at a working farm 186 miles from the main set and 26 miles from the soundstage, American Humane Association went beyond its jurisdiction and authority to visit, examine and make safety recommendations and improvements to the farm. These recommendations were implemented a year ago, bringing a higher level of animal welfare to all animals living on the site into the future.

“We owe it to these hard-working and beloved members of our community, just as we work to take care of their human counterparts,” Ganzert concluded. “Anything less is unacceptable.”

PETA sent a letter to Oscar winning director Jackson highlighting the multitude of horrors on his movie set, and after receiving what they described as a “thoroughly unsatisfactory response” from Jackson, PETA will now be protesting the world premieres of The Hobbit in New Zealand, England and the U.S and demanding a date of when they might hear the outcome of Jackson’s own internal investigation.

[From Radar]

This story is confusing, particularly that it’s coming out now when production is well over, and when improvements were supposedly made to the animals’ living conditions over a year ago. (Although for once I agree with PETA protesting something.) What I want to know is how bad things have to be on a farm for that many animals to needlessly die? It sounds like the trainers made it more than clear that animals were in immediate danger but that nothing was done at all until the American Humane Association got involved again. Honestly it makes me want to skip this film, although it’s going to be such a blockbuster I’ll have a hard time staying away.

Production was permanently shut down on HBO’s Luck after three horses died on set. Many more animals died here and no one in charge took it as a wake up call and just pressed on. Other than the bad publicity, I doubt that the production company will face any consequences here. This movie is going to make a ton of money and they couldn’t be bothered to spend just a tiny fraction more to make sure their animal actors were safe.

Also, director Peter Jackson has adopted three pigs used in the film. Did he do it because he loves pigs or was it damage control? Is he going to eat them as meat? I have no problem with that if they’re treated well, I’m just asking.

Heidi Klum in a tight short see-through dress at the AMAs: ridiculous as usual?


It’s slower than usual for a Monday, which I should take as a nice sign that everyone is gearing down for the big food holiday in the US this Thursday. Still, it makes our jobs as professional gossips a little harder as we struggle for who to talk about. Let’s stretch out the AMA Fashion into this one last post of a few stragglers.

Here’s Heidi Klum in her signature look: sexy ridiculous fug. This woman doesn’t care what she wears as long as she shows off her hot body. To prove my point: this, this, this and this.

Heidi is in Alexandre Vauthier, who was responsible for her equally awful and ill-fitting Emmys gown. This time she’s in a very tight, very short, very see-through gold lacy brocade gown with cap sleeves, shoulder pads and matching f’ing shoes. Matching f’ing shoes! That actually makes me angry for some reason I can’t properly explain. These look like Louboutins, so I want to know if they were custom made to mimic the dress, or if the dress was designed to match the shoes. Either way, awful! (This material is something called guipure lace if you’re interested, but you probably won’t be after seeing it on Heidi.) I used to like Heidi when I barely paid attention to her, but lately she’s on my sh*t list.

In contrast, Jordin Sparks is a sweetie with bad fashion sense. That’s just the impression I get of her, she seems perfectly nice and harmless. She’s in a mess of a patchwork and fishnet Etro dress that’s supposed to be contemporary but just looks cacophonous. (Sorry for that $10 word, I couldn’t come up with anything else and it is a music event after all.) It’s not very flattering to her great figure, either. Red Carpet Fashion Awards claims that Sparks is pulling off this look, but I disagree. I don’t think anyone could wear that dress well, apart from maybe Cate Blanchett.

Jordin was with her boyfriend, singer Jason Derulo. Huffington Post has a nice article about these two along with some quotes from Jordin saying she hopes he proposes. Play it closer to your chest, Jordin!

Lucy Hale from “Pretty Little Liars: was cute in a simple black cocktail dress with red heels and a statement necklace. It’s a very young, innocent look. She’s 23 though and I would put her at 17 or 18 in this outfit. She’s got a baby face I guess.

And finally Elisha Cuthbert of “Happy Endings” was looking like she was at the Oscars in a strapless, formfitting gold Georges Chakra gown. This dress is amazing, but I wonder if it’s a little too formal for this event. Still, she looked incredible. Her hair and makeup were so well done too.

Justin Bieber dedicates AMA award to ‘haters who thought I was just here for 1 or 2 years’


I have to admit that I didn’t watch the AMAs other than clips online. Like Kaiser, I don’t really care for all the endless music awards shows. A newly-single Justin Bieber dominated the show, which we’ll get to in a moment. He smartly took his mom with him as his date, since things have gone south in his on-off relationship with Selena Gomez. Justin gave his mom a kiss on the red carpet and thanked her profusely during his speeches. It was all rather sweet and cute. Not cute: his really awful quilted(!) Hammer pants, long pleather top and sweater cardigan combo, paired with red loafers with spikes on them. This kid can’t dress himself, but he keeps trying.

Bieber won three big awards last night: Artist of The Year, Favorite Male Artist and Favorite Pop/Rock Album, for Believe. He also performed two songs: an acoustic version of “As Long as You Love Me,” and “Beauty and The Beat,” which is his new single featuring Nicki Minaj. You can see those performances on Hollywood Life if you’re interested. The NY Daily News had a nice recap of the night, so I’ll quote them here:

Bieber won favorite pop/rock male artist in the first award handed out at Sunday’s show and gave a shout-out to those who didn’t think he would last on the music scene.

“I want to say this is for all the haters who thought I was just here for one or two years. I feel like I’m going to be here for a very long time,” he said.

He also won favorite pop/rock album for his platinum-selling third album, “Believe.” He gave a stripped down, acoustic performance of “As Long As You Love Me,” then transitioned to the dance-heavy “Beauty and a Beat,” where Minaj joined him onstage, grinding with the teen for a few seconds.

Minaj, who wore three different wigs and four outfits throughout the night, repeated her AMAs wins from last year, picking up trophies for favorite rap/hip-hop artist and album for “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.” She was in an all-white get-up, including fur coat and pink hair when she performed her new song “Freedom.” The scene was ghostly and snowy, as a choir — also in white — joined her onstage. One background singer stole the performance, belting semi-high notes as Minaj looked on.

As Bieber won his second award, he was kissed on the neck by Jenny McCarthy, who presented the award.

“Wow. I feel violated right now,” he said, laughing.

“I did grab his butt,” McCarthy said backstage. “I couldn’t help it. He was just so delicious. So little. I wanted to tear his head off and eat it.”
Bieber’s red and black outfit seemed to be the night’s theme, as Taylor Swift and Usher wore similar ensembles.

[From The NY Daily News]

Jenny McCarthy was ridiculous grabbing and macking all over Bieber. Imagine a 40 year-old male star doing that to an 18 year-old female singer and then saying he “couldn’t help it,” she “was just so delicious.” Why are they letting McCarthy give out awards in the first place? She just drags the whole ceremony down.

Here’s a video of Justin winning the Male Artist of the Year for the Pop/Rock category. He talks about his haters at :55. This was his first award, so you know he practiced this haters speech ahead of time. (Here are links to YouTube videos of Justin winning artist of the year and favorite album. The Jenny McCarthy debacle is in the favorite album video.)

I have to mention this performance that’s getting a lot of buzz, it’s Psy doing Gangnam Style with a Too Legit to Quit mashup with MC Hammer. (Hammer comes in at 3:00) Kaiser loves Psy and she clued me in to this. Words cannot express how awesome this performance and mashup are. I hope that Psy is way more than a one hit wonder in the US, he’s incredible. It’s also nice to see Hammer back on stage.

Christina Aguilera in a flattering gown at the AMAs: too orange, but improved?

Christina Aguilera
We’re splitting the AMAs fashion coverage into a few posts, (Kaiser’s previous coverage is here and here) and Christina Aguilera takes the lead today for several reasons. I have mixed feelings about this look. First off, this ombre purple Pamella Roland dress is an impressive choice for her. Her tits and/or ass aren’t hanging out, it fits properly, and it’s actually quite flattering. The dress, coupled with that very obvious pageboy wig, give a kind of “Barbie” effect, but that’s a minor complaint compared to her past looks. Her makeup is still very heavy-handed but it’s classier, and I really like the nude lip. That said, the wig is very cheap-looking and obvious, but it’s a real improvement from the Fraggle dip-dye hair she’s been sporting in various shades of awful. The style seems dated to me, I had that exact same hair in the early 90s, but again for her it’s decent. If only she could lay off the dayglow orange tanner and the body sparkle. Baby steps.

Next up, Ginnifer Goodwin, who has ruined any affection I had for her sweet as pie “Once Upon a Time” character by looking so consistently humorless and smug on the red carpet. She bugs me, and today is no exception. She’s wearing a peach Oscar de La Renta resort 2013 cocktail dress with sequins. They love this dress over at Red Carpet Fashion Awards, but I just find it more of the same from her. She wears something fashion-forward, puts on her best model face and thinks she’s avant garde. At least she dresses modestly and isn’t wearing Stella McCartney or Marchesa.

Jennifer Morrison was in a v-neck sparkly black Abed Mahfouz gown with cap sleeves and a high leg slit. Look at her working that leg like Jolie. This is an underwhelming dress, but she wears it well. I love her braided updo (she’s gone back to blonde!) and her makeup. See how far a smile goes to completing a look?

I can’t get a designer ID on Hayden Panettiere’s sparkly little dress, but it’s not all that different from what she wore to the CMA Awards earlier this month. Her matchy shoes are not cute. Hayden’s styling is pretty bad. Her hair looks like she didn’t wash it and just pulled it back, and those bright pink lips and gold eyes just look amateurish. Hayden was there with her latest boyfriend, a football player named Scotty McKnight. He looks like a boy bander. Downgrade from Klitschko!

Peter Facinelli to his ex Jennie Garth: stop giving interviews, it makes me look bad


In the Peter Facinelli and Jennie Garth divorce I used to be firmly team Jennie. We heard that Peter cheated on Jennie, that she was devastated, and that she slowly put the pieces back together by going on a heartbreak diet and starting to date. Then Jennie seemed to call the paps and alert the media whenever she went out with a new guy, simultaneously telling various outlets that she wouldn’t rather lick her shoe or the floor than go on a date. It just seemed disingenuous, but I get that a lot of you still have affection for her and don’t blame her for making it known that she’s going out with other guys.


Well her ex is pissed that she’s talking about all this. I think she’s actually being very classy about it. She’s focusing on her reaction to the divorce, she’s not blaming Peter, and she never ever said that he cheated on her. She could have trashed the hell out of him but she didn’t. Apparently Peter is pissed off that she’s giving interviews at all. What a baby. Now I’m back to being team Jennie.

It was way back in March that jennie Garth, 40, and Peter Facinelli, 39, announced their decision to divorce, but tensions have only heated up since then. Pals say Jennie resents the Twilight Saga star for abandoning her – after 11 years of marriage and three young girls. Peter quickly began seeing his Loosies costar, Jaimie Alexander, 28, which crushed Jennie. “It’s like a slap in the face,” a friend tells Star. It’s hard for her to be civil with him, because she’s so angry.” But Peter’s not happy either, because he reportedly thinks his ex has been a publicity hound. “He hates that he looks like the bad guy,” our source says. “Peter has demanded that Jennie stop giving interviews, which has only infuriated her more.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, November 26, 2012]

Peter should thank his lucky stars that Jennie isn’t dishing the dirt about what really went on in their marriage. She should write a book about it and air his dirty laundry. I honestly think she should.

Here’s another piece of news that makes me believe this story entirely. Peter just did a photo op with his new girlfriend, (Celebuzz has the photos here) a 28 year-old actress named Jaimie Alexander, with whom he starred in a film that came out earlier this year called Loosies. We heard that Peter’s jumpoff was a 20-something Canadian and Jaimie is American, so it’s possible they just got together recently but let’s see, they were probably doing press together earlier this year, right before he split with Jennie. There was likely some overlap going on. I guess Peter figures that if Jennie can document her dates, so can he.

Jennie is shown on 11-13 at the GQ party and on 10-13 at Extra. Peter is shown on 11-13 and 11-15 at Breaking Dawn premieres in LA and NY. Credit: WENN.com and Fameflynet

The “Human Barbie” girl: her choice, creepy and exploitative, both?


These are actual, supposedly unaltered photos of a woman named Valeria Lukyanova, a 21 year-old model from the Ukraine, who is being dubbed “Human Barbie” for obvious reasons. A Youtube video below shows (alleged) photos of this woman before her plastic surgery transformation and she’s clearly had so much done that she’s unrecognizable. I see a nose job, some very obvious bolt-ons, an eye lift, perhaps buccal fat pad removal in her cheeks (it’s amazing the things I learn as part of my job) and some lipo. She’s probably using corsets to achieve that tiny waist, and may have had ribs removed as well.

Here’s the YouTube video of her “before,” although it’s hard to verify that this is the same person:

This woman is as strange as you would imagine, and claims she spends her time traveling outside her body through astral projection or something. She has a new photoshoot with V Magazine, which you can see here. She looks like a Real Doll. Here’s part of the story, from Radar:

Ukrainian model Valeria Lukyanova, 21, is showing off her unnaturally tiny waist, large breasts, porcelain doll-like face, and long, flowing blonde mane in a new photo shoot for V Magazine, where it is hard to tell whether she is real or fake.

Following speculation as to whether she is even human or a result of careful photo editing, Lukyanova proves she is in fact a living, breathing person despite her out-of-this-world beauty regime.

“In the morning I work on my face and I get a massage, then I spend some time on the Internet. I meditate and travel in my astral body, and after that I work out at the gym. I go for a walk with my best girlfriend, I get home, and I make dinner for the man I love,” said the girl from the Moldavian city of Tiraspol, who calls herself “Amatue” after the goddess of the sun.

“Then I spend some more time on the Internet, do some reading and meditating, and go to bed.”

When asked if she considers herself to be a singer, model or an artist, she described herself as “a teacher at the School of Out-of-Body Travel.”

As expected, there has been an outpouring of negativity directed against Valeria over her controversial body image, but she claims she only basks in positivity and light. “If people care about me, then I am on the right path. In real life, I never hear bad things,” she claimed.

“People don’t understand that it has nothing to do with looks. There are many good-looking young women, but why are they completely unknown? Because looks are just a bonus. If you spend time working only on your appearance and you forget about your inner self, people will not be interested in you because they will not feel anything,” she said.

“Many people think you need only good looks to be successful, but it’s not true—only spiritual work can bear tangible results.”

While the outlandish model aspires to benefit people, she has been slammed for spawning a “Barbie flu” and inspiring other girls in the Ukraine to adopt fantasy, fairylike looks and lifestyle, reported Forbes.com.

[From Radar]

As for the other women she’s supposedly “influencing,” she’s also friends with a 19 year-old woman who calls herself Anime Girl, real name Anastasiya Shpagina. This is an actual photo, from Facebook, of the two of them together. CREEPY.

This is Valeria with a girl named Dominika 777, like a robot.

And here’s what she supposedly looked like before. She looks like Paris Hilton, right? I bet Paris wishes she thought of this.

Here’s what I’ll say about this, and I said it about Heidi Montag too. This is some crazy body modification. This isn’t like an impulsive ankle tattoo or a nipple piercing. This woman will be stuck looking like this for the rest of her life. I used to be goth when I was 19. Thank God my style evolved and I’m not stuck with more than a couple of dumb tattoos to permanently remind me of that period of my life. It’s one thing to dress funky and use makeup to achieve a look, it’s quite another to commit to it so thoroughly that there’s no takebacks until you die. Maybe she can look “normal” with different styling, though.

Bruce Jenner has been consulting divorce lawyers, is ‘sick & tired of the humiliation’


We’ve heard rumors for almost a year now that Bruce Jenner is fed up with his wife and is ready to cut out of his marriage. Last year reports came out that Bruce was sick of airing his family life on television, and that Kris was trying to control him by putting him on an allowance and disagreeing with his hobbies like golf and motorcycles. It’s said to have only gotten worse between these two, with Bruce getting so fed up with the way Kris treats him that he’s ready to pull the plug. The Enquirer [via Radar] claims that Bruce has been consulting divorce lawyers and is serious about getting out. We’ll see.

After 21 years of marriage, the Olympic legend has reached the breaking point over the reality TV mom-ager’s flirting with younger men, and raging egomania over the Kardashian clan’s wildly successful business empire, the insiders told the National Enquirer.

“Bruce feels that Kris treats him like a doormat, and he’s had enough,” a source said about the reality show star, who is step dad to Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian.

“She con­stantly belittles his appearance and complains to mutual friends that he’s a boring old fart,” the source said about the Keeping Up with the Kardashians matriarch.

“Then she has the gall to flaunt her relationships with younger guys in his face!”

Fed up Bruce, 63, has been discussing divorce with golfing buddies at Lake Sherwood Coun­try Club near the family home in Calabasas, Calif., where he’s a daily fixture, the Enquirer has learned.

“He hates it when cronies at the Country Club jokingly call him Bruce Kardashian,” divulged an insider. “Kris is continually perceived as the moneymaker and the one who wears the pants in the family, and he’s sick and tired of the humiliation.

“One of Bruce’s pals who’s a sports entertainment lawyer has helped Bruce value the assets of the Kardashian-Jenner em­pire if he moves forward with a split. He’s also talked to a divorce attorney buddy about potential custody arrangements for his two girls with Kris.”

For more exclusive details about the demise of Bruce and Kris’ relationship pick up the latest issue of the National Enquirer on newsstands Thursday.

[From Radar Online]

Will we have another Kardashian divorce this year? I would say they’re averaging one a year but Kim isn’t even divorced from Kris Humphries yet, that’s dragging on forever. I don’t know, I see Bruce as putting up with so much for so long that he’s just hanging in there for the long haul, dealing with his lot in life. Kris has always worn the pants in that family, and Bruce has worn the dresses behind the scenes. (allegedly!) He may be disgruntled and sick of his relationship with Kris but that doesn’t mean he’ll divorce her. I kind of hope he does, though. Is that mean? Kris is such a nasty piece of work. Remember how she was bragging about cheating on her late husband with some young guy?

Wendy Williams: Heidi Klum was screwing the bodyguard behind Seal’s back


The few times I’ve caught Wendy Williams’ show I’ve been thoroughly amused. Wendy seems to truly love gossip, and she regularly tells it like it is and calls people out. Wendy was discussing Heidi Klum’s new relationship with the bodyguard recently, and she pretty much said that Heidi must have been screwing the help back when she was married to Seal, considering that Heidi’s new boyfriend has worked for their family for four years. Heidi first confirmed the relationship in September, but claimed at the time that it was “new.” In a more recent interview, Heidi told the German press she was “in love” and that she fell for the bodyguard during the four year period he worked for her family. Well that really set Wendy off! She went off on Heidi during a gossip commentary segment on her show. Honestly, I didn’t care too much about this story before now. Wendy got so worked up that she got me to care, you know? Here’s more, from US Weekly. US gives the impression that Seal was there on Wendy’s show, but he wasn’t. Wendy was just kind of addressing him in general, letting him know she had his back.

On her self-titled talk show Tuesday, Williams, 48, tore into the Project Runway host, 39, and her intense new romance with her longtime bodyguard Martin Kirsten.

Although Klum went public with the relationship — her first since she and husband Seal announced their separation in early 2012 — in September, Williams argued to her audience that Klum and Kirsten have been romantically involved for much longer than that.

“He’s worked for Heidi in the family for four years. Seal, you know what that means — and not just when you were out of town,” she said, later adding, “I don’t think this is a new relationship, do you?”

(Of her South African-born beau, Klum recently told German magazine Bunte “I’m in love!” She explained to Katie Couric back in September that the romance had “just started” with Kirsten over the summer. Although Seal initially lashed out about Klum’s new beau, complaining that his ex was “fornicating with the help,” he later explained that he never implied his wife cheated during their seven-year marriage.)

Referring to a displayed snapshot of Kirsten carrying and embracing Leni, the eldest among Klum and Seal’s four kids, Williams commanded the “Kiss or a Rose” singer to “[get] half her money.”

“I haven’t reported a story about love this disgusting since Sandra Bullock and that man,” Williams continued, referring to Bullock’s ex-husband Jesse James, who infamously cheated on the Oscar-winner with many women.

“It pains me to report stories like this when the woman, in my mind, is clearly in the wrong,” Williams ranted.

She then offered Seal an action plan to “get back at” Klum: “You don’t let the finances go with this divorce. I don’t know how much you’re worth, but she’s worth more. you need half!”

Her second suggestion for Seal? “You need yourself a new girlfriend,” she advised. “Someone young, hot and with a long future in modeling, and really fertile.”
She added: “I’m thinking someone like Kate Upton would make Heidi’s pot liquor cooler.”

[From US Weekly]

I went back and read US’ recap of what Heidi told German magazine Bunte, (I missed it because it came out on Friday) and Wendy is absolutely right. Heidi admitted in that story that the bodyguard worked for her family for four years and that she fell for him during that time. She said “I’m in love,” and added “This is one reason why I’m so fond of him. He’s been helping me for four years now, and he takes wonderful care of the kids. He plays with them, he protects them. I trust him.” That’s ridiculous! It’s one thing to openly date the guy, it’s quite another to admit that she fell in love with him while she was married to Seal! All of this happened when she was gushing about Seal and how Seal was such a great husband and father. Maybe she’s rewriting her history with this guy in order to make Seal jealous, but either way it’s very, very shady. You wouldn’t expect Heidi to learn that she should STFU about her relationships either, after how it turned out with her marriage.

I guess Seal was telling the truth when he said Heidi was screwing the help on the side.

Update: A lot of you are commenting that Heidi isn’t admitting falling in love with the bodyguard when she was married. That’s what I read into it, but I’m definitely taking a leap. The fact that she admits he has been with her for four years is very suspicious to me.

Brandi Glanville: LeAnn Rimes ‘went to Twee-hab. It’s rehab for social media anxiety’

Brandi Glanville had an interview on VH1 morning buzz (video is above and at this link) in which she talked about her upcoming tell all book, her relationship with LeAnn Rimes, and her recent trip to the emergency room. Brandi is really ramping up her appearances now that the new season of RHOBH has premiered and she has a new book coming out. I have to hand it to her, she knows how to give good quotes and dish the dirt in order to get coverage. Brandi confirmed that the name of her new book is Don’t Drink and Tweet… and Other Breakup Blunders, the title for which was chosen among three different options by her Twitter followers. It won’t just be a cautionary tale, and she’ll tell us what when on during her divorce, as she confirms in this interview:

On her hospitalization
I had a little scare because I had an allergic reaction to antibiotics and I thought I was having a heart attack because it was chest pain and I couldn’t feel my arms and legs… it turns out it was an allergic reaction to antibiotics.

The title of her new book, which was chosen by fans
Don’t Drink and Tweet… and Other Breakup Blunders

On the book
There’s so much in it you don’t know. I shared so many embarrassing moments and things I shouldn’t tell anyone ever… I’m very very worried. I’m putting it out there so I’m going to have to deal with it.

On saying to LeAnn “you win, now go make music”
I said that on a show. You don’t have to keep putting pictures of my children, in their Halloween costumes, on Twitter. You won, you got the man, you got the house, you got the kids. I think that’s where that’s coming from.

On if the book will tell what happened behind the scenes during the divorce
You’re going to learn so much more. He’s not going to like me. It’s not that it’s about him, it’s my story, it’s just how I dealt with what happened, the embarrassing things. But I do have to kind of recount what happened.

[Transcribed from video on VH1.com]

She’s being a little cagey when it comes to how much she’ll reveal in the book, isn’t she? It’s like she’s deliberately teasing her ex and his new wife. As for telling LeAnn to back off, it’s like LeAnn keeps pushing and pushing and Brandi needs to continue to be clear about the boundaries. It’s not like she’s calling LeAnn names at all, she’s just pointing out what happened and how LeAnn is behaving, which speaks for itself. Now that Brandi has her own platform she’s definitely not letting this opportunity pass her by.

After I wrote all that, I found yet another new interview with Brandi, on “Watch What Happens Live”, in which she called out LeAnn Rimes for being jealous of her and needing to go to rehab for it. To be fair, a caller asked specifically if Brandi thought LeAnn was jealous, but she didn’t hold anything back. She also seemed kind of buzzed to me.

Given her contentious history with Rimes, we’re not surprised that Glanville took the bait when a WWHL caller asked this question: “Does Brandi think that LeAnn is a little jealous of her, now that [Brandi] is more of a household name?”

After hedging for a second (but just a second!), Brandi coolly responded, “I think that she was jealous of me before anyone knew who I was.”

When host Andy Cohen asked if the jealousy had gotten worse since Glanville became a reality star, Brandi nodded.

“Hel-lo! She went to Twee-hab!” Glanville laughed. “It’s rehab for social media anxiety. I swear.”

Fellow guest Willie Geist expressed disbelief that “Twee-hab” actually existed, but Brandi was adamant, saying it’s for when “[you get so upset about] what strangers are saying about you, that you have to go to a facility.”

Now, in Brandi’s defense, LeAnn Rimes has admitted to the media that her emotional breakdown, for which she checked into a 30-day treatment program, was triggered by social media anxiety.

Again, Brandi isn’t saying anything people don’t know and I’ll leave it at that.

Here’s that clip from “Watch What Happens Live”

Dakota Fanning looks strange & more photos from the ‘Breaking Dawn 2′ premiere

Here are some more photos from last night’s LA premiere of Breaking Dawn Part 2. We already covered the “important” people from the premiere, Kristen and Rob. This post is for the less important people, obviously. There was a lot of bad fashion at last night’s premiere. A lot of prom dresses and a lot of half-smug, half-worried expressions. Like, the Twilight franchise is going to be the absolute height of many of these actors’ careers. So… enjoy them while they last.

I don’t think Dakota Fanning is one of those people who will be defined by Twilight. She’s a talented actress in her own right, and I think she’ll continue to get work. Unfortunately, she seems to be going through a very awkward phase right now. Dakota wore Elie Saab Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2012 collection – it’s a pretty dress. But her styling is a mess. That brunette shade is not flattering, and her makeup is terrible.

Here’s Elizabeth Reaser in Carolina Herrera. Is she at the Oscars? Did she need to wear this full-on gown? Maybe I’m biased – I really dislike this woman. She’s a horrible actress. She was terrible in her guest role on The Good Wife.

Poor Taylor Lautner. Is he going to have a career beyond this franchise? Poor kid.

Saoirse Ronan in Simone Rocha. I love her. I love her dress. I love her shoes. I love how age-appropriate she is.

Here are your favorite people in the world, the real stars of Twilight! Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz and Nikki Reed. I don’t really have anything against Nikki, but I do wonder what she’s going to do beyond this franchise. Ashley is wearing Donna Karan (she’s the face of the label), and Nikki is wearing Versace. I like Nikki’s dress better. It suits her and flatters her. Kellan Lutz knows you enjoy his Kellan Lutzy purple lapels. KELLAN LUTZ!!!

Elle Fanning in head-to-toe Prada. Look at her shoes!!!

Stephenie Meyer looks pretty good here.

Teresa Palmer has a great body. I’m not sure this dress highlights it appropriately.

And I’ll end it on a high note – Michael Sheen in velvet! He just does this crap for the money, you know? I love him.
