Jennifer Aniston bawled like a baby ’cause she can’t have one


Jennifer Aniston is said to have broken down in tears upon hearing that little Shiloh had seen the light of day. This sounds like crap someone would make up, and I have very little faith in the British rags, so take it for what it is:

Aniston, 37, tried to be brave about the news, which broke two weeks ago, by calling Pitt’s mother Jane to send her best wishes.

But pals are concerned the former “Friends” star is still traumatized over Pitt’s new life with Angelina Jolie.

Aniston’s friend Tiffany Laws tells Britain’s Star magazine, “Jen just burst into tears.

“She tried to cover it up in front of Vince but he assured her it was OK to cry.

“Jen called Brad’s mom to offer her congratulations but couldn’t get through.

“I think she had the feeling, ‘That could have been my baby.’”

This could be true, but it’s too personal for a friend to blab about to some random British gossip rag and we doubt it.

Jen may say she wants children but she balked when asked by Regis if she ever babysits Courtney Cox’s daughter, Coco, practically shouting “No!”.

The good news for Jen is that her career may be salvaged even if she is indifferent and infertile. “The Break Up” did much better than expected at the box office and bested “X-Men 3″ despite terrible reviews.

Here she is at a press conference for “The Breakup” in Sydney. Thanks to Hollywood’s Best for these photos.

James Blunt banned from radio station


A British radio station has blanned James Blunt’s trite repetitive music from the air - saying that listeners don’t like it and they need a break.

Blunt defended his music at an awards ceremony last week, telling his critics to switch over if they didn’t like his songs.

However, now Essex FM has gone one better by banishing him from the airwaves. The radio station’s listeners say they are sick of hearing Blunt’s hits You’re Beautiful and Goodbye My Lover everywhere they go.

“We don’t have anything against James Blunt and we’re pleased he has been so successful, but we really need a break,” said programme controller Chris Cotton. “While his songs have been very popular, there is a tremendous amount of industry pressure to play certain artists frequently.

“Often this can be out of step with the audience’s tastes. We’re happy to stand up to this pressure and follow the strong message listeners have given us. We encourage other radio stations to take the same step.”

People hate Blunt enough to demand that a radio station stops playing him, and even the station manager admits that Blunt’s popularity does not reflect popular taste.

James Blunt’s boring Hallmark card music used to suck even worse - he’s being sued by a producer who claims that he reworked six songs on Blunt’s album “Back to Bedlam.” The producer has a good reputation in the industry, having worked with Dido in the past. He says that Blunt lacks musical skill and needed a lot of his assistance on the album but screwed him out of any royalties once he hit it big.

Here’s Blunt with his trademark dumb ass look on the Today Show yesterday morning. He is also shown at the Ivor Novello Awards on 5/29. He looks really high. That must be how he copes with his lack of talent.

Breaking: Jennifer Aniston isn’t wearing black in public; has no future in film


Jennifer Aniston must be able to take an oft-repeated hint, because she attended the LA premiere of “The Break Up” wearing a color other than black. She chose a formfitting white and beige tube dress that looked gorgeous on her. Is this the start of Aniston’s comeback? Maybe, but it’s doubtful.

The NY Post repeats a report from Hollywood Elsewhere writer Jeffrey Wells, who says that “The Break Up” has not been well received in initial audience tests, and Aniston’s status as box office poison may soon be cemented. The Post say that Wells may be misinterpreting the data, but Wells says that Page Six threatened to reveal his source for the tracking numbers of the film, which is despicable.

Wells explains the film’s tracking numbers, which help predict a film’s box office potential:

Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston’s romantic discord comedy, isn’t tracking. With only twelve days to go before opening, that means the game is pretty much over. Definite interest is at 30, 1st choice is 5…it’s finished. I’m told that while audiences enjoy Vaughn in an off-the-wall mode, they don’t want to see him in semi-romantic parts. This is bad news for Aniston also because now she’s 0 for 4 — Derailed, Rumor Has It , Friends with Money and now this thing. She’s all but kaput as a big-screen, big-bucks player. She’s not particularly sexy, not perky, not a gifted comedienne…and she always seems to play parts in an introspective, low-energy way. I’m not deriving any joy from saying this, but Aniston is probably one or two steps away from competing with Helen Hunt for HBO roles.

That’s not really news about Aniston, considering that all of her movies have sucked and she’s pretty much disliked by everyone. If only she could keep her mouth shut. She blabbed to Britians’ Mirror that there are couples who should break up. She also said even more crap about Brad and Angelina:

“People are very lazy and it’s very easy,” she says. “Things are just more disposable. There’s not a lot of value put on relationships.”

“Who knows if people should have stayed in relationships? My parents certainly shouldn’t have stayed married - and they didn’t. Other people have stayed married … and they shouldn’t have.”

Then she adds, somewhat wryly: “You have to put a lot of work into it and exhaust every option before you split up.”

The end of Brad and Jennifer’s five year marriage last year - presumably after every option had been exhausted - saw the Troy star hook up with Angelina Jolie, his co-star on the movie, Mr and Mrs Smith.

The drama of the split played out over several months with Jennifer grieving in the privacy of her Malibu home comforted only by her elderly dog, Norman.

She underwent therapy but refused to discuss her feelings in public except to say she was “shocked” when she saw newspaper photographs of Brad and Angelina frolicking on an African beach.

“I wasn’t aware of a lot that was going on between them [Brad and Angelina] because it was easier not to pay attention to it,” she says. “So much of it was fabricated and I felt it was creating unnecessary suffering to even go into that world at all.

“I wish there was a way to get used to it, but it was a weird time.”

That’s perfectly natural and understandable, and people would care if they hadn’t heard it from Aniston over and over again. How surprising that Aniston doesn’t have a successful film career. People must not like sour grapes - go figure!

Here she is at the LA premiere of “The Break Up” last night. Her poses looked forced and awkward on the red carpet, but at least she changed her look. It seems like it’s too late for poor Aniston, though.

Kate Moss kicks Pete Doherty’s ass!


Kate Moss was so pissed off about Pete Doherty’s blood squirting stunt that she asked him to come over to her place. When he arrived she promptly kicked his ass!

KATE MOSS beat up on-off boyfriend PETE DOHERTY in a mad frenzy after reading how he sprayed his blood at two MTV cameramen. The supermodel summoned the BABYSHAMBLES frontman to her north London home and set on him after reading about his antics after a gig in Berlin, Germany last week (ends12MAY06). After arriving at her St John’s Wood pad at 5 am Moss began kicking and punching him in the street. Doherty says, “She was angry about the blood spraying thing. She beat the crap out of me. She layed into me punching and kicking. “I’m alright, but she hurt my finger. I couldn’t do anything back, because she’s a girl.”

At least Doherty didn’t fight back, but we doubt the junkie would have had the strength even if he wanted to. Moss shouldn’t have even bothered with Doherty, though. Why doesn’t she just ignore him? She’s supposed to be dating comic Russell Brand now anyway.

Meanwhile Doherty’s antics have lead his record label, Rough Trade, to drop his group Babyshambles. An source is quoted as saying: “Rough Trade were in the process of renegotiating a deal, but the talks broke down because it just proved to be so difficult to deal with Pete and the people he surrounds himself with.”

Maybe losing his record label will help Pete follow-through on kicking heroin as he’s been planning. It won’t be easy, but he needs it desperately.

Here’s Kate in a Primal Scream video:

Daniel Craig is not only a wuss - he’s fat!

New Bond Daniel Craig can’t play cards or drive a stick shift, and he doesn’t like guns or speedboats. He also demands baby lotion and nail files, and got a widdle rash while filming “Casino Royale” in the sun.

He’s going to redeem himself with full frontal nudity and a lot of hot sex scenes for the film, and at least he’s super-buff and has a great six-pack going for him - or maybe not. He loved the dumplings so much while filming in Prague that producers were forced to hire him a personal trainer:

Producers of the new JAMES BOND movie, CASINO ROYALE, were forced to hire a personal trainer for star DANIEL CRAIG after he became obsessed with dumplings while filming in the Czech Republic. Craig sported a muscular physique when he was photographed earlier this year (06) in a bathing suit on location in the Bahamas. But since the production moved to Prague, the actor has reportedly piled on the pounds after becoming enamoured with the local cuisine, particularly dumplings and borscht. Producer BARBARA BROCCOLI was so alarmed by the star’s weight gain she immediately hired a personal trainer. Film sources maintain the superspy is now back in peak condition.

[via]

OMG - he almost ruined his single qualification for playing Bond! He’s back in shape now, though, but the guy doesn’t have a clue. Maybe the movie will be hot, though, and we’ll see it just to get a glimpse.

Update: Pictures removed on request.

Audrey Tautou says she’s going to quit acting


In what sounds like a response to critics panning her new film, “The DaVinci Code,” French actress Audrey Tautou, best known as the cutesy meddler in “Amelie,” says that she’s going to quit acting:

The French actress told Grazia magazine: “When I started acting, I had the idea that I would continue until I’m 40.

“Now, after doing The Da Vinci Code, I’m probably ready to quit at 30.

“I know I’m not the best actress in the world and not the worst but I think that maybe I’d be happier doing something that doesn’t leave me so exposed.”

She sounds like a sensitive person and she’s probably quite hurt by the bad reviews of “DaVinci Code.”

Hopefully she’s just being reactionary and won’t quit anytime soon. One bad film is not a good enough reason to throw away an acting career. She’s only 27, and has a good three years left in her by her own account, anyway.

Here she is looking cute and just a little bit flirty with Tom Hanks at a DaVinci Code photo call, and at the premiere and after party for the film. She is also shown in stills from the movie.

David Blaine plans jungle stunt, world yawns


David Blaine does not want to die known as the man who failed to break the world record for holding one’s breath after living in a snow globe in Lincoln Center for a week. He wants to be known as the man mauled by lions on reality television:

Illusionist David Blaine is to live “harmoniously’ in the jungle for his next stunt.

The magician plans to be left “alone” in the Tanzanian jungle where 150 people are attacked by wild lions a year with just a TV crew present to film his actions.

Blaine narrowly escaped death during his last stunt where he was suspended in a giant fishbowl for a week. The illusionist hoped to end this extravagant display by beating the world record for holding your breath underwater, currently held by Tom Zitas.

However, he fell short of the world record, which stands at 8 minutes 58 seconds, after passing out after around 7 minutes.

Blaine is currently recuperating after suffering from liver failure and severe [sic] caused by the aquatic stunt.

He probably feels like he failed or whatever, and “let the people down” as his physician said, but the guy got a lot of attention and he really gave it his all. It’s only been a week since he got out of the bubble. He’s probably afraid of slipping into obscurity.

His last gig was bringing magic to libraries as the spokesperson for the 2006 New York City summer reading program, so his fears are well founded.

He sound have kids and then he will realize how immortality is attained - through genetics.

Paris Hilton gives a dumb excuse for forgetting Mother’s Day


I saw some pictures on WENN photo yesterday of Paris and Nicky Hilton pumping gas and getting ready to go to Mother’s Day dinner with their mom, and I honest thought “Where is their gift?” (The pictures are low-quality watermarked, but you can see what I mean in the last two rows, below. Look at how messy their car is!)

Now Paris’ rep claims that a bag containing $10,000 worth of gifts for ther mom for mother’s day was “stolen” from in front of the Hilton mansion:

Paris Hilton’s mother can only imagine what her celebrity daughter got her for Mother’s Day. That’s because thieves stole the gifts before Kathy Hilton received them.

A gift bag containing nearly $10,000 worth of Christian Dior shoes, sunglasses, handbags and perfume was taken from outside the Hilton home, spokesman Elliot Mintz said Monday.

The younger Hilton “spent three or four hours shopping to put together this wonderful collection of things for her mom,” Mintz said.

A delivery person set the package down outside the home’s gate to ring the intercom when a passenger in a passing car snatched the gifts.

“A fellow just whizzed by and grabbed the package,” Mintz said.

The Hilton family celebrated Mother’s Day by going out to dinner, he said.

Now, it’s totally possible that this happened, but it sounds like a typical excuse for forgetting to get your mom anything for Mother’s Day. We know that Paris and Nicky went shopping on Saturday as they were photographed going to Kitson, but Kitson is a trendy casual store and doesn’t sell Christian Dior items. They didnt have any bags with them that would suggest they got anything else. Maybe they went somewhere else, too, but we doubt it. The paparrazi follow them everywhere, and they would have been easily spotted at an upscale boutique if they actually did all this heavy shopping for their mom. Also, why would they have gifts delivered if they were going to see their mother on Sunday? Wouldn’t they bring the gifts with them?

There’s something about Paris’ mom, Kathy, that makes you feel sorry for her. Sure she has more advantages in life than large portions of the planet combined, but she just seems needy and unfulfilled. Her family must take her for granted, but at least they had a nice dinner together on Sunday.

Here are Paris and Nicky on Saturday outside of Kitson and on Mother’s Day outside the Ivy restaurant. It’s nice that Paris is pumping her own gas. [via] and [via] Paris, Nicky and their mom Kathy are shown at “The Race to Erase MS,” above.

“Just My Luck” Just Sucks


The critics have weighed in on Lindsay Lohan’s new film, “Just My Luck,” and the verdict is that it royally sucks. It only has a 10% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In comparison Paris Hilton’s horror film, “House of Wax,” is rated a whopping 24%.

Some choice quotes from Rotten Tomatoes:

“Looking tired and sallow and drained of her customary glow, Lindsay Lohan marches grimly through this mechanical tween comedy as if it were a particularly tedious homework assignment.” — Ella Taylor, L.A. WEEKLY

“Every single scene is an abominable assemblage of mind-boggling stupidity, completely unmotivated behavior, and unfunny slapstick.” — Eric D. Snider, ERICDSNIDER.COM

“A romantic comedy neither romantic nor particularly funny.”– Dustin Putman, THEMOVIEBOY.COM

“A romantic comedy even more idiotic than its embarrassing (and somewhat creepy) poster would indicate.”
– Connie Ogle, MIAMI HERALD

“It’s difficult to say whether [Lohan’s character] is more grating when she’s cursed and whiny or when she’s blessed and oblivious.” — Sean Means, SALT LAKE TRIBUNE

Sorry, Lindsay, your movie sucks. People also apparently hate you. Lindsay topped a Star magazine poll of the most hateable celebrities, beating Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline by a healthy margin.

Here she is with “Girls Gone Wild” creator Joe Francis, who just celebrated his birthday with a celebrity-attended bash at Six Flags in LA on Thursday. [via] She’s also shown shopping in Beverly Hills on May 10th [via]

Vince Vaughn on “Oprah”: Jen’s “one of my favorite people” (update: video)


In an appearance on today’s “Oprah,” Vince Vaughn sort of acknowledged his relationship with co-star Jennifer Aniston when questioned directly, but he gave the old “Jen’s my friend” response earlier in the interview:

Vince speaks highly of his Break-Up co-star, whom he is also dating. “Jennifer’s great. She’s one of my favorite people,” says Vince. “She’s just really smart and funny and easy to be with—very considerate. She’s great.”

Even though they’re hounded by the press and there’s a lot of controversy over Pitt leaving Aniston for Angelina Jolie, you think Vaughn could come up with a better way to handle it than to act like he’s just buddies with his live-in girlfriend. He told David Letterman about a week ago that “I’m not saying we are or aren’t a couple. I think she’s great, but I just don’t discuss whether we are.”

That’s weird and most celebrities at least acknowledge their significant other without getting into too much detail. It’s strange that Vaughn is referring to Aniston like a friend’s sister or someone he just happens to know, and it doesn’t make their relationship seem too secure.

When Oprah asked Vince if he considered having children with Aniston, he didn’t jump back into his “just friends” mantra and seemed to acknowledge that he’s with her. He said there’s no way he’s having kids with her, though:

Does Vince want to have kids? “At some point I would,” says Vince. “I’ve always liked kids a lot—but no plans for the future. First we have to have the $8 million wedding!”

Has Vince discussed having kids with Jennifer? “No, I have not talked about having kids with Jennifer,” he says. “I think [having children] takes a lot of focus, takes a lot of attention. I think it would be nice at some point to have a different priority in something else as you’ve sort of done stuff and challenged yourself, I think that time would come. But not any time in the near future for me, I don’t think.”

It doesn’t sound like VInce wants to stay in his relationship. Any guy his age who wants kids but doesn’t want them with their girlfriend - just doesn’t want to be with their girlfriend.

Aniston is said to have asked Vince to give up a role that would have required him to film abroad for three months, suggesting that she’s just as clingy and whiny as everyone thinks she is.

Aniston is also said to be devastated by the artsy pictures of Brad and Angelina on the beach in Namibia that came out a couple weeks ago. She was nearly in tears and said that Brad never looked that happy with her. It’s just a matter of time before Vince wises up, too.

Here is Vince on Oprah. Thanks to marthaz on the JJB board for pointing these out.

Update: Video segment of Vince on Oprah:
