Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart have been in Europe for the past week or so (maybe longer). She’s in the midst of her European tour, but she doesn’t seem to be performing every night or anything, which must be nice – she and Casper get to spend quality time sight-seeing or going out dinner in various beautiful European cities. Over the weekend, she was in Copenhagen and before that she was in Berlin. It was in Berlin that a hotel maid approached Jennifer for an autograph. Not only did Jennifer NOT give this woman an autograph, Jennifer got the maid fired. Harsh, J.Lo. Totally harsh.

Jennifer Lopez was not acting out a scene from Maid in Manhattan! A maid who worked at the luxury hotel Melia Duesseldorf was fired after asking the superstar for her autograph, according to German newspaper Bild.

“I cleaned on her floor. And I am an incredibly big fan so I took all my courage and rang the bell to get an autograph,” Pray Dodaj said about when she tried to approach J.Lo. “But I was rejected by two assistants at the door.”

Pray said that even though she didn’t get an autograph from the singer, her employer fired her anyway.

“A day later the cleaning company that employed me at the hotel called and said that Ms. Lopez had complained. I was fired right there on the phone! Because of an autograph!”

Jennifer is on her European tour and performed in Dusseldorf on October 31. Tweeting about the night, she wrote: “Here’s my costume! #HappyHalloween! My team and I had fun celebrating in Dusseldorf and Oberhausen! #peace&love!”

Cyrus Heydarian, the hotel director, explained why they fired the maid, even though she never got the autograph from J.Lo.

“She has acted contrary to the contractual arrangements and disturbed the privacy of our guests.”

Luckily for Pray, she was offered a job at another hotel.

Honestly, I could see how the maid probably violated her contract by acting like a fan-girl towards ANY celebrity. If this was a story about a maid simply being shut down when she approached a celebrity for an autograph, I might even see the celebrity’s side of it – I mean, how weird would it be to have a maid knock on your hotel door and ask for your autograph? That would creep me out! But it’s altogether different when J.Lo goes the extra mile to get the poor woman fired! That’s some major diva ‘tude.

Ooooh… J.Lo denied this on Twitter, writing: ‘C’mon thought you knew me better than this.. Would never get anyone fired over an autograph. 1st I heard of this was on twitter. #hurtful.’

I feel like I spend a good part of any given day trying to come up with interesting ways to describe people’s body types. Mostly, I hate the word “fat” and I usually think the word is misapplied to women like Kim Kardashian, Kelly Brook and Christina Hendricks, just to name a few. To my way of thinking, a woman like Christina is curvy, or “extremely voluptuous” or “she has one of the most insane hourglass figures ever.” But gossip writers and entertainment journalists are often at a loss for describing Christina and her figure. A NYT fashion writer once got in big trouble for referring to Christina as a “big girl”. And now some Aussie reporter is in hot water for calling Christina “full-figured”. To her FACE.

The woman is named Kate Waterhouse, and she’s the fashion editor for the Sydney Sun-Herald. She asks Christina, “You have been an inspiration as a full-figured woman. What is the most inspiring story that you can remember where you’ve inspired someone?” At first Christina is just flustered, and you could feel her wince, and she says “Um, I don’t know… I’m sorry.” Then she looks off camera, the video is shut off, and when they come back Waterhouse ASKS THE SAME QUESTION. Christina goes, “I mean… You just said it again.”

According to E! News, Christina told people off-camera, “I think calling me full-figured is just rude.” Okay. I can see her point about that – I wouldn’t have called her full-figured, but I don’t think it’s weird to call her an inspiration TO full-figured women. I don’t get why Christina couldn’t just speak directly to the reporter and say, “I don’t consider myself a full-figured woman, but I’m glad that I inspire women of all shapes and sizes.” Why this coy act? Why is Christina acting like the fashion editor called her “a big tub of lard”? Or should I be yelling at the editor? I really don’t think she was trying to be rude, honestly. I don’t think she understood that she offended Christina by calling her “full-figured”. Whatever.

There was an odd little story about Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively last week and I never got around to talking about it. You know how they’re all WASPy and perfect now, and how there were many reports that Blake and Ryan had purchased a Bedford, NY country home together? Well, first of all, there’s some reporting that indicates Blake bought the Bedford home herself, without Ryan’s involvement whatsoever. Ryan also seems to have bought another property in the area recently – basically, they’re both buying real estate like it’s going out of style. But! The New York Post reports that whether or not both their names are on the deed, they are spending time together in Bedford, NY. And Ryan doesn’t seem happy about it at all.

After months of looking for digs in the city, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have opted to buy a $2.3 million mansion in Westchester’s tony Bedford area. The house sits on 2 acres and overlooks the Cross River Reservoir.

We hear the couple, who met on the set of “Green Lantern” last year, were “over the top” in their demands for confidentiality with their purchase. And Reynolds, who divorced Scarlett Johansson in 2010, hasn’t been making friends with the locals.

When another couple happened to walk out of Richard Gere’s Bedford Post Inn restaurant at the same time, Reynolds became hostile. “Are you following me?” he snarled at the diners, who thought the actor needed a reality check.

[From The New York Post]

I used to hear lots of stories about Ryan being a d-bag to many, many people. Maybe he’s a really nice guy when you get to know him, but the idea I have of him is of a dude who is rather temperamental, rude and tightly wound. So, basically, I have no problems believing that he’s not making friends in the area.

Meanwhile, many of us wondered why Blake Lively was not at last Monday’s Met Gala. Surely she was invited – she has a Chanel contract, she’s a self-styled fashion girl, she’s on Gossip Girl… why not go to the Met Gala? LOVE. She didn’t go because of LOVE.

Blake Lively blew off the ball for her beau. Sources tell us the “Gossip Girl” beauty — who was the belle of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala last year — passed on attending Monday so she could go on a lengthy romantic trip with boyfriend Ryan Reynolds.

Beginning the last weekend of April, an insider says Lively and Reynolds, who’ve been together seven months, jetted to Napa Valley, where they stayed at the world-class Auberge du Soleil luxury resort and restaurant in Rutherford, Calif. The couple then headed to San Francisco, where their activities included an intimate dinner at Charles Phan’s revered Vietnamese restaurant, Slanted Door.

The leggy Lively and the abs-fabulous Reynolds also took time to stroll the city’s artsy Red Light District. They then made a brief stop in Los Angeles before traveling to Reynolds’ hometown of Vancouver. Our source points out that the lovebirds were visiting Reynolds’ family the night of the Met Ball on May 7.

Instead of walking the red carpet at Vogue editor Anna Wintour ’s haute happening, Lively, 24, and Reynolds, 35, ate dinner with one of Reynolds’ four brothers and his wife at Asian restaurant Blue Ginger, in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. They stayed overnight and returned to the mainland the next day. According to the insider, Lively and Reynolds stayed at the Coast Hotel in Vancouver, but have since relocated to Parksville in British Columbia to continue the more-than-two-week idyll.

Fashion insiders were surprised Lively skipped the Met Ball, since the style- and shopping-obsessed actress was the hit of last year’s party. The blond bombshell is the face of Chanel Mademoiselle handbags and attended last year’s soiree on the arm of the French fashion house’s creative director, Karl Lagerfeld.

Our first source says Lively’s absence from the fashion extravaganza is a sign that she has really fallen for Reynolds. A second source notes that Lively would have been more than welcome at the “Oscars of the East Coast,” but decided on the low-key vacation with Reynolds instead.

“Anna loves her,” notes the insider.

Lively also missed the Cinema Society screening of her film “Hick” here on May 3, because she was traveling. She and Reynolds have become increasingly serious during their seven-month courtship. After shopping for homes in Westchester and Connecticut together, Lively recently purchased a $2 million estate in Bedford Hills, N.Y.

Our initial source says Reynolds has been spending a lot of time at Lively’s new pad, and also “gets along great with Blake’s [half] sister Robyn .”

A spokeswoman for Lively did not respond to our request for comment by deadline.

At some point does it become unprofessional? That’s my question. I don’t have any problems with Blake and Ryan being loved up, and I don’t have any issues with Ryan settling down with the first big-boob’d blonde he finds. I also think the mini-breaks are cute. They’re both working actors with lots of appearances and obligations, so when they can find the time to go on holiday, why not go? But that’s the problem, isn’t it? Blake is ignoring some of her appearances. Like, how could she not even go the premiere of her film? Is she that important? And surely her Chanel contract requires her to put in appearances at some of the big fashion events of the year, like the Met Gala. Ugh. Blake, what’s going on with you, girl?

I’ve mentioned before how much I enjoyed the first season of Showtime’s Homeland. It was a really, really great show with wonderful writing and incredible performances by the two leads, Claire Danes and Damian Lewis. I rarely get a chance to discuss Lewis, mostly because I feel like most people don’t know who he is. I’ve followed his career since Band of Brothers, through the underrated and too-early-cancelled Life, and now on Homeland, where he is simply excellent. I never really knew that much about his personal life, just that he’s English, married and the father of two kids. I wish I could go back to that place, because I just read this interview with him, and now I kind of think he’s a douche. Maybe I’m being hyper-sensitive (it happens), but it seems like Damian is bragging about being a giant brat to President Obama!

Despite the mixed reviews about its season finale that had viewers across the world on the edge of their seats, it proved to be one of this year’s smash-hit dramas. And Homeland can also boast one of the world’s most powerful men among its fans – according to its leading man.

Damian Lewis, who wowed viewers and critics alike with his portrayal of troubled Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody, said President Barack Obama told him that it is his favourite show.

As he posed for a smouldering shoot for Mr Porter, Lewis told the men’s retail website about being a guest at the White House state dinner.

He said: ‘I thought we were going to be sitting by the kitchen or something. Next to the revolving door that would repeatedly hit us on the back of the head, as waiters came in and out. But when we got to the marquee on the South Lawn we found that out of 396 people at this dinner, we had been put at the President’s table. I was opposite Obama. He said Homeland is his favourite show.’

He said the President also asked him how he got the part in Band of Brothers, which was not only his big break, but the first time he had to portray an American.

He said: ‘He thought it was because I looked like the guy I was playing. So I made a joke – I said, “No Mr President, it was because of my outstanding leadership qualities and moral probity.” And he wasn’t sure for a minute – he was like, “Who the f*** is this guy?”. It’s not as if I come from a military family or anything. My dad did national service in the 1950s, but he wasn’t very good at it. He lost his platoon in the woods.’

He said: ‘I knew we were doing something a bit better than your average TV show or movie for that matter. But there was no telling the way in which it touched a chord. People get a strange thrill out of being made to feel anxious and worried!’

Damian is about to start filming the second series of Homeland in two weeks time in North Carolina, which doubles as Washington DC.

He said: ‘It’s great. I’m closer to home. And I don’t have to work so hard because it’s more of an ensemble cast. So I just jump on a plane if I get a few days off. And the kids can come out and see me for the summer holidays, jumping in and out of the pool all day. It’s perfect, basically. All I have to do is get the acting right – make sure I’m not the tosser that lets it all down!’

His family – actress wife Helen McCrory and their children, daughter Manon, five, and four-year-old son Gulliver – are back in the UK, Islington, north London to be precise and are staying in Hugh Laurie’s old house. Hugh has been a huge success across the Pond in House and Damian said: ‘That’s how it works, you’ve got to be English on a popular show and then you get to sell each other property.’

[From The Mail]

CB thinks there’s a good possibility that Damian was just being very “English” and attempting to be funny/self-effacing. But it just sounds like Pres. Obama asked him an innocent question (“How did you get cast in Band of Brothers? Did you look like the real dude?”) and instead of answering simply, Damian decided to “take the piss”. I mean… I’m not saying everyone has to genuflect around the President of the United States, but if you’ve been invited to a state dinner and you’re sitting at his table, don’t “take the piss” when the president asks you a question! RUDE.

Ashton Kutcher was the Academy of Country Music Awards two nights ago. For no real reason, it seems. He presented an award, and he sang a little bit, and he was all dressed up in his country music costume. I didn’t cover it yesterday because… who cares about Ashton Kutcher, really? Here’s some video of his appearance:

His voice is a little bit better than I was expecting. I mean, I don’t think he should cut an album or anything, but it’s fine for what it was – an actor pretending to be interested in country music. As it turns out, though, Ashton offended some of the country music stars at the awards show. Miranda Lambert in particular, but Us Weekly also says that Ashton was acting douchey after the show:

Ashton Kutcher’s no king of country. The recently separated Two and a Half Men star, 34, was one of the unexpected infiltrators at Sunday’s Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas. To present the Female Vocalist of the Year award, the star wore a ten-gallon hat and over-the-top county western garb — and sang some excruciating bars of George Strait’s “I Cross My Heart” before handing over the trophy to Miranda Lambert.

Upon reflection, Labmert herself wasn’t amused by Kutcher’s schtick. The star, 28, tweeted late Monday: “Was Ashton Kutcher making fun of country or is it just me? Watching it back now and I’m kinda wondering?”

Fellow country singer Justin Moore was more direct — and visceral. In the audience at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, he tweeted, “Seen Ashton kutcher at the acms tonight. What a douche! I don’t care for people making a mockery of the way country artists’ dress.”

Indeed, there was no love lost between Kutcher and most of the crowd during the show and at an afterparty, insiders reveal to Us.

“People were just like ‘why is he here?’ – he has nothing to do with country,” one attendee told Us “Nobody laughed at his dumb jokes, in fact he came off as rude. He didn’t mingle.”

A second source adds that Kutcher walked around the bash “with a massive posse” and “stayed in that dumb outfit for the after party.”

At the afterparty, Moore “was so heated over Ashton” and was “bitching about him” with Lambert’s husband and show host Blake Shelton, the source says.

[From Us Weekly]

Some theorize that Ashton is trying to get some good press after everything that happened with Demi Moore. Which… I’m not so sure about. I think that in Ashton’s mind, he always gets good press. In Ashton’s mind, he’s beloved. In Ashton’s mind, everything is just a big joke and he’s a genius and everyone thinks he’s the greatest thing. It wouldn’t occur to him to go on a media blitz to try to win back some fans. Ashton probably thought all of those country music people were absolutely delighted that he deigned to acknowledge them. My point? Ashton is a massive tool.

Hating on flight attendants is universal at this point, correct? Unless you’re Gerard Depardieu and you need to pee. But doesn’t everyone have a “this flight attendant was the worst” story? Or am I about to be regaled with stories of your BFF, the stewardess, who would never say one harsh thing against a passenger? Whatever, I’ll say it: flight attendants are power-crazed jagoffs. And one of them just had a beef with Alec Baldwin. Apparently, Alec was on an American Airlines flight yesterday. And when I say “on a flight” I mean “sitting at the gate, waiting to take off.” The flight attendant told Alec to stop playing Words With Friends, and then Alec was escorted off the flight. Dramz?

American Airlines encourages its customers to “be themselves, nonstop” — unless that customer is Alec Baldwin.

The 53-year-old 30 Rock actor was kicked off his flight from L.A. Tuesday afternoon. Several passengers confirmed the news via Twitter moments as Baldwin was removed from the plane.

Said Activate founder and managing director Michael J. Wolf: “On an AA flight at LAX. Alec Baldwin removed from the plane We had to go back to the gate. Terrible that everyone had to wait.”

Baldwin’s early exit may have been due to his use of electronics. “The flight attendant on American reamed me out for playing Words With Friends while we sat at the gate, not moving,” Baldwin tweeted. “No wonder American Air is bankrupt.”

“But, oddly, 30 Rock plays inflight on American,” Baldwin added. “The real way is United.”

Baldwin’s rep explained the ordeal to Us Weekly, saying: “Alec was asked to leave the flight for playing Words with Friends while parked at the gate. He loves WWF so much that he was willing to leave a plane for it, but he has already boarded another AA flight.”

[From Us Weekly]

TMZ reports that there was an additional confrontation after the flight attendant “reamed” him for playing a game on his phone:

The last straw in the Alec Baldwin/American Airlines incident came when he “slammed” the bathroom door so loudly the captain of Flight 4 had to get involved … according to people on the plane.

We’re told Baldwin’s tweets about the incident are on point — flight attendants wanted him to shut off his cell phone in the middle of a game of “Words with Friends” … after the cabin door closed, but the plane remained at the gate.

But according to passengers … after the confrontation over his phone, Alec got up to go to the bathroom and angrily slammed the lavatory door. We’re told it was so loud the captain called back to flight attendants to find out what was happening.

That’s when the captain himself made the call to have Baldwin removed.

Sources close to Alec claim he did not slam the door, and only got up to get the flight attendant’s name so he could file a complaint — but because the fasten seat belt sign was on he was asked to leave the plane.

Alec boarded the next LAX-JFK flight — and we’re guessing he’s enjoying an intense match of ‘Words’ right now … at 40,000 feet.

[From TMZ]

Meh. It sounds everyone, from Alec to the flight attendant to the captain, were all asses, honestly. I’ll always believe that Alec Baldwin is an ass in real life, just like I’ll always believe that most flight attendants are power-crazed jagoffs. I don’t have a stereotype about plane captains, though. Mostly I just hope they aren’t drunk or asleep.

I told you this week’s tabloids featured push-back from Team Kat-Face! Life & Style’s cover story this week is all about how Kris Humphries is a horrible homophobe and a gay-basher, and now Us Weekly has released their cover story, and SURPRISE. Kris Humphries is also a fat-basher. As in, he would make fun of Kim’s weight and call her a “fat ass”. And “stupid”. And then she called him a “booger-face” and a “peckerwood”. And then Kris pulled her pigtails and pushed her and Kim cried and called for the teacher, because apparently we’re all still in the first grade.

Harsh Humphries! Kim Kardashian has been raked over the coals in the court of public opinion ever since she filed for divorce from Kris Humphries Oct. 31. But the real villain in the 72-day marriage, pals tell the new Us Weekly, was out-of-work NBA star Humphries, 26.

After lavishly tying the knot Aug. 20, Kardashian’s hubby soaked up the perks of being married to one of the most successful reality stars ever — staying out late at clubs in NYC and L.A., and demanding free bottle service and more wherever he went.

Even worse? He could be downright cruel to Kardashian, 31. “He belittled her in front of people,” one insider tells Us. “He’d call her stupid. It was truly sickening.”

The source adds that Humphries resented his wife’s fame and fortune. “He tried to control Kim by bring her down…He would say truly terrible things. One time, he said she had no talent and her fame wouldn’t last.”

He even took exception to her world-famous posterior, calling her “fat ass,” the source says.

And when Kardashian (who rarely drinks and tends to go to bed early) asked her man to skip the nights out in favor of quality time, “He would tell her she was acting like too much of a wife and ‘get over it,’” another insider says.

For much more on why Humphries was the husband from hell — he “picked fights” and bullied her closest friends, was caught “scoping out” other women at clubs and more — pick up the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday

[From Us Weekly]

Will I buy that Kris Humphries was emotionally abusive and rude? Sure. He was rude on their wedding special, and I thought he was particularly nasty and immature when it came to interacting with Kim’s sisters. I wonder which insult hurt Kim more, stupid or fat ass? When someone insults my (lack of) intelligence, I just kind of laugh it off. But if someone called me a fat ass, much less if it was my boyfriend or husband? I would cry. I would have a total meltdown. And that dude would never see my biscuits ever again. Because he would be a mean, rude booger-face. Oh, and personally, I don’t like the idea of saying Kim is in any way “fat” – she’s not. She’s just not a size 4 (as she claims).

By the way, just to reiterate the point: Kris is definitely going to be painted as “the villain” as Kourtney and Kim Take New York gets edited and re-edited. Sources have already said that producers are re-jiggering the show in post-production so that it will become increasingly obvious WHY Kim dumped Kris. Meanwhile, I think Gwyneth Paltrow is probably seeking Kris out so they can fat-bash together.

Okay, Chicago Celebitches. Which one of you went up to LeAnn Rimes and told her to eat something? Y’all bitches are SO RUDE. On Friday, LeAnn was having dinner in Chicago, at the lounge bar Double A, with Eddie and his parents when someone came over to their table and told LeAnn to eat something. LeAnn tweeted, “How dare someone come to me at a table w/ the boys & tell me I need to eat something. What is wrong with people!? AS I’m stuffing my face….have another drink and maybe take a class in manners! Cheers!”

Sigh… I’m of two minds on this. One, yes, this was definitely rude. If the situation had been weight-reversed, and someone had gone up to a heavy celebrity and told her to STOP eating, wouldn’t you be offended? It’s one thing to say that LeAnn is a bony, narcissistic dumbass in private, but to go up to her and tell her to eat something? It is rude. On the other side, I get the feeling that LeAnn is secretly pleased that she’s emaciated enough that people come up to her and tell her to eat. Operation Thinner Than Brandi continues to be successful! LeAnn loves how thin she is, and this random comment probably made her week.

Of course, LeAnn had to bitch and whine about it on Twitter for a while. She wrote, “once again DONE talking to rude people who have NO right to have an opinion on my body. Out of line!” And “No ones talks about the fact that the woman was terribly wrong in her actions, that’s sad…if it happened to someone who wasn’t a ‘celebrity’ it would be rude, but to a public figure it’s socially expectable?!” Ugh.

So here’s the deal: don’t do anything that makes me feel sorry for LeAnn. She doesn’t deserve any sympathy, and I dislike feeling even a twinge for her. I hate defending her. But stop telling her to her face that she’s an emaciated twit.

I used to be cool enough to know who all of the latest and best bands were before they went mainstream. No more. I only began paying attention to the Kings of Leon over the last year, and it’s really only THIS year that I even bothered to associate the band name with any of their songs, and with gossip about the band. Unfortunately for everyone, the piece of news I always associate with “Kings of Leon” is that Twitter bitch-fest that Nathan Followill had with Glee creator Ryan Murphy, where both of them looked like douches.

Anyway, the Kings of Leon were playing a concert in Dallas on Friday, and after they had played a handful of songs (some say 11 songs), Caleb Followill, the lead singer, walked off the stage saying that he was “just f–king hot” and that he needed a beer. Chaos ensued:

After their Dallas concert Friday night was cut short, Kings of Leon has announced they will be returning to the city to play an additional show. All original tickets will be honored at the new show, Wednesday, September 21.

Their Friday concert ended abruptly after frontman Caleb Followill said he needed to take a breather backstage, throw up and drink a beer, THR reported. He also told fans, “For the record, I’m not drunk—I’m just f***ing hot.” The temperatures were in the 90s during the outdoor concert at Gexa Energy Pavillion in historic Fair Park.

“Caleb Followill suffered from heat exhaustion and dehydration, during last night’s Dallas performance causing his vocal chords to seize,” a rep for the band said in a statement.

However, Kings of Leon bassist and Followill’s brother, Jared, hinted to other problems on twitter after the show.

“Dallas, I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. There are internal sicknesses & problems that have needed to be addressed. No words,” he wrote, later adding, “I love our fans so much. I know you guys aren’t stupid. I can’t lie. There are problems in our band bigger than not drinking enough Gatorade.”

The band was supposed to play Saturday in Houston, but postponed the show for September 22. Ticketholders who are unable to attend the make-up shows will be entitled to full refunds at their original point of purchase.

Fans may be reminded of another Kings of Leon concert that was cut short exactly a year ago. In July 2010, the band left a concert in St. Louis after just three songs when a pigeon dropping landed in Jared Followill’s mouth.

[From The Hollywood Reporter]

Ha, I forgot about the pigeon crap story. Maybe the problem is summer concerts? Maybe they should only tour in the fall and spring months.

As for Caleb walking off… I’m of two minds. First, yeah, it’s totally a d-bag move and I can see why so many fans were and are pissed off. He should have handled himself better and God knows, there could totally be “something else” (drugs?) going on. On the other side, I hate exerting myself when it’s really hot (as it was in Dallas on Friday), so I kind of admire them all for getting through 11 songs without any of them passing out on stage. I would have been a lump of sweat and rudeness within five minutes on that stage.

There’s video too:

This isn’t a breaking news story or anything, nor is it super-important in the grand scheme of things. This isn’t even one of the worst/funniest stories of Katherine Heigl’s diva insanity, but it totally made me laugh. According to Page Six, Dame Heigl took in a show of The Book of Mormon. Heigl’s family IS Mormon, right? I think they’re converts, if I’m not mistaken. Anyway, Heigl and her mom (her BFF and basically her only friend) showed up late, caused a commotion, and then Dame Heigl, in true Gloria Swanson fashion, sat through the show with her sunglasses on, puffing on her electronic cigarette.

Katherine Heigl caused quite a stir at a Saturday performance of “The Book of Mormon.” A spy reports the star and her mother arrived at the show 20 minutes after it started, and guests seated in her row had to get up. Ten minutes later, Heigl’s husband, Josh Kelly, showed up, and they had to move again to let him get to his seat next to her.

Attendees also said the “Grey’s Anatomy” actress “wore big dark sunglasses and discreetly bent down and puffed on an electronic cigarette during the show.”

Heigl’s rep had no comment.

[From Page Six]

You know what would have made this story better? Lady-turbans. If Dame Heigl and Mother Heigl had shown up in sunglasses (in a darkened theater), puffing on e-cigs and WEARING LADY-TURBANS. That would have been the height of celebrity discretion.

As I read this story, you know what I got as the subtext? JOSH is the third wheel, not Mother Heigl. Katherine and her mom do everything together, and they obviously wanted to see the show, and Josh just met up with them at the theater like a third wheel. How much longer is this marriage going to last?
