Brad Pitt is filming a commercial in Prague today, so Angelina was on school drop off and pickup duty. WENN notes that she looks “frail,” and points out her super skinny arms as if it’s news.

US Weekly notes that A Mighty Heart did really lousy at the box office its opening weekend, coming in tenth. My husband and I just saw Oceans 13 on Saturday and it was a lot more fun and not as hard to follow as I expected. We wouldn’t have gone to see what’s widely perceived as a depressing movie on our rare date night out. I think that people really want uplifting movies and when you know the ending already, there’s not much motivation to see the film despite its star power.

Still, Angelina’s performance is being praised and the film could do well overseas and on DVD. If she wins an Oscar it’s sure to get a boost from that too. Maybe they should have waited until the end of the year to release it for that reason.

Jolie is quoted in a recent interview as saying that she’s helping her family by travelling and doing charity work and that it wouldn’t help her kids if she stayed home. “I do no service to my children by staying home and allowing the world to be what it is. That’s not teaching them anything, it’s not raising them properly.”

If she really said it that way she should be more careful in the future. A lot of moms and dads who stay home with their kids say they’re helping the world immensely by raising caring, well-adjusted children who know they can depend on their parents to be there for them. It is teaching them that you’re reliable and that they’re important and loved. Children who are well cared for grow up to care for others and that’s an important way to help change the world.

I’m not saying that what Angelina does is wrong at all or that she should stay home. It’s just that if she meant that staying home with kids isn’t teaching them anything I don’t agree. Maybe we’re reading too much into it, and she did add that part about “allowing the world to be what it is,” so it doesn’t logically follow that she meant that staying at home by itself isn’t teaching them anything. You can certainly change the world from home, though especially when you’re raising happy and thoughtful children.

These photos are from Splash News, and something is wrong with WENN’s downloads today or I would publish the pictures of Brad Pitt on the commercial set as I have a subscription for them. Here’s a link to those photos of Brad making the commercial.

Victoria Beckham has won her libel case against Star magazine after the London High Court awarded her undisclosed damages. ABC news reports:

Victoria Beckham took legal action after Star magazine said the crew from her new US television show “can’t stand her” and saw her as “very picky, demanding and rude”, the ex-Spice Girl’s lawyer Gerrard Tyrell told the court.

Mr Tyrell said the magazine also claimed that she shouted at her husband - who will play for LA Galaxy in the United States next season - “like he’s one of her kids” when he called her on the telephone.

“The show is designed to make her a star in the States, but she’s dreaming if she thinks that’s going to happen,” Mr Tyrell said the magazine wrote.

“She’s coming off as a grade A bitch!”

The new series Victoria Beckham: Coming to America, will screen later in the year. I can’t wait. After the recent press saying her fashion is trying too hard, and that she might be a cheerleader, this series should be must-see TV.

Victoria is also to be having ’secret’ surgery for her bunions. Are bunions secret worthy? When you wear stilettos you can see them, it’s not like a breast job. Which, come to think of it, can be pretty obvious too. Particularly if you go really big.

The Mail on Sunday had some pictures of the bunions, and a quote from Vic herself:

When I bumped into 33-year-old Victoria recently, she candidly confessed her feet were giving her a headache. ‘I always wear stilettos but they have given me awful feet,’ she said.

‘I hate my feet, they are the most disgusting thing about me. Part of the reason I wear such amazing shoes is to take the eye away from my horrid feet and on to the stunning shoes.’

So, fairly safe to say that even Victoria herself isn’t making a big secret of her bunions. Or the fact her shoes are fabulous, and I wholeheartedly agree. Her closet would be amazing.

What a great idea! Pammy seems to have a pretty good grasp of what she’s famous for - big boobs and nudity. She’s turning 40 on July 1st, so maybe it is time for her to get someone else to do the nude work.

She got the idea while in Finland campainging against fur farms, and this is what she had to say on her official blog:

Also I thought of a great way to celebrate my Finnish heritage at home. I’m going to look into opening a chain of strips club and ill call them LAPLAND!!!

Unfortunately, it sounds like she’s joking.

Still, now that she’s done dating rock stars, it’s a great time to start a new business venture. All you need is an idea, the name is great, and she’s had some experience in that field before dancing with burlesque troupe the Pussycat Dolls. She looked great then, so maybe no too old for nudity.

Kurt Cobain is an icon for generation Y, so it’s good we can now worship him in doll form. Also on lunchboxes and keychains.

Fans can now buy a likeness of the angst-ridden rocker - who committed suicide in 1994 - as well as a host of other Cobain-inspired items.

The Smell Likes Teen Spirit singer’s face also appears on a new line of lunch boxes and a key chain that doubles as a small hip flask.

The range of products are made by the National Entertainment Collectibles Association who purchased a license to use Cobain’s likeness from his widow Courtney Love.

New Zealand Herald

Courtney Love, who has control of her dead husbands estate, recently called Doc Martens use of Kurt’s image in their advertisements for shoes “outrageous” and “despicable”. So it seems she had a change of heart, to allow his face to be used on lunchboxes and keychains. I can’t blame her for endoursing an action figure though, since what man in his 20’s doesn’t want to be an action figure? It’s what Kurt would have wanted, even if this one can’t kick and punch.

Paris Hilton got out of jail just after midnight Pacific Time this morning, and there were people lined up around the block to take her picture and videotape the moment for posterity.

Emerging with very little makeup except for false eyelashes and wearing a little short-sleeved jacket over a white shirt with jeans, Paris smiled as she strutted out of jail. She looked shy but not really, and ran toward her mother once she spotted her. She was said to have changed into the outfit in a stinky public bathroom. She is also said to have lost ten pounds in jail.

According to the announcer on Fox News in the video below she looked “shy, but still had that model walk.” There was some speculation as to whether she’d actually changed into a “shyer, more humble” person who “actually wants to do some good.”

Once she left the media circus, photographers ran down the street after her car trying to get more photographs of her. They also swarmed around her car when it stopped a red light.

Nicole Kidman will appear in advertisements to air in the UK for Nintendo’s brain training games. Nintendo is trying to reach out to the older market of potential gamers and show them that video games are not just for teens and twenty-somethings:

Nicole will be seen across print and television in Europe keeping her brain in shape as part of a 60 day brain exercise programme for More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old Is Your Brain? which launches across Europe on the Nintendo DS on 29th June.

Ms. Kidman comments: “I love the concept that Nintendo is reaching out to new audiences with their self improvement products like Brain Training. Most importantly, I’ve quickly found that training my brain is a great way to keep my mind feeling young.”

The way the games are portrayed in the commercial, they don’t seem too challenging, but it’s probably misleading:

WWE champion Chris Benoit, his wife and year-old son were all found dead in their home outside Atlanta on Monday. Police said the “instruments of death” were found at the scene, but would not say what they were, only that they were not stabbed or shot.

Benoit missed a pay per view event on Sunday, citing family reasons. It looks like a murder suicide, although that does not seem to have been definitely determined and it is unclear if Benoit killed his wife and son or if another series of events led to their deaths:

Wrestling star Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and their 7-year-old son, Daniel, were found dead in their suburban Atlanta home Monday. The deaths are being investigated as a possible suicide and double homicide, authorities told ABC News.

Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department told ABC News that Benoit had missed several appointments over the weekend, leading concerned parties to ask police to do a “welfare check.” When sheriffs arrived at the Benoits’ home, they found the wrestler, his wife and their son dead.

There were no signs of gunshot wounds or stabbing, according to Pope. Authorities are not ruling out other causes, such as poisoning, suffocation or strangulation. Pope told ABC News that his department is looking at this situation as a “possible double murder, suicide.”

Pope said “the instruments of death were located on scene,” but he would not specify what those instruments are or where in the house the bodies were found. Pope added the department is “not actively searching for any suspects outside of the house.”

Police now say that they think that Benoit killed his wife and son over the weekend and that he killed himself on Monday, but again it sounds like they haven’t finished the investigation:

WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and son were found dead Monday, and police said they were investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide.

Detective Bo Turner told WAGA-TV the case was being treated as a murder-suicide, but said that couldn’t be confirmed until evidence was examined by a crime lab.

The station said investigators believe the 40-year-old Benoit killed his wife, Nancy, and 7-year-old son, Daniel, over the weekend, then himself on Monday. The bodies were found in three rooms.

World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that it asked authorities to check on Benoit and his family after being alerted by friends who received “several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning.”

Here’s a link to a timeline of known events, including Benoit missing scheduled matches.

This is an incredibly tragic story and our thoughts go out to his family, friends, and fans.

In a 2000 interview with The Edmonton Sun, the former Edmonton, Canada resident and Montreal-born Benoit said that he liked to spend time at home, that Shawshank Redemption was his favorite movie, and that his favorite way to spend a Sunday was “Relaxing at home with my kids.”

Benoit is survived by two children from his first marriage.

License To Wed is out in the US on July 3, and stars John Krasinski, Mandy Moore and Robin Williams. It is directed by Ken Kwapis, who directed nine episodes of the US version of TV series “The Office,” and features US Office actors Krasinski, Angela Martin, Mindy Kaling, and Brian Baumgartner. [Information from Wikipedia]

Here’s the plot summary, which sounds kind of lame and I bet Williams’ character is annoying, but it looks cute enough judging by the trailer:

Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore) has always longed to marry the man of her dreams in her family church. Though she found her lifetime companion in Ben Murphy (John Krasinski), Sadie is distressed to learn that St. Augustine’s has only one wedding slot available over the next two years. While Sadie and Ben do qualify for the slot, charismatic St. Augustine’s minister Reverend Frank (Robin Williams) won’t wed the couple until they agree to attend his two-week prenuptial course. Now, as their wedding date draws near, Sadie and Ben must attend every one of Reverend Frank’s exhausting classes and complete a series of rigorous homework assignments designed specifically to test their dedication to one another and ensure that their union will have a sound foundation.

And here’s the trailer:

Mandy Moore’s dress with the cut-out bodice is a little too Barbified for my tastes, but her hair and makeup are gorgeous and she sort of pulls it off. Krasinski has such a nerd-guy-neighbor hotness about him, and his star is definitely rising.

Also shown at the premiere are Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams and his wife Marsha and daughter Zelda with a date. Zelda turns 18 at the end of July and she may be the next Hollywood daughter to start hitting the scene, or maybe Lindsay ruined it for her and she’ll have to wait a few years.

A judge has ordered Michael and Dina Lohan, the divorced parents of Lindsay and younger siblings sister Aliana, 13, and brother Dakota, 11, to attend therapy together. The judge presiding over the custody battle for Lindsay’s younger siblings says that therapy will aim to reunite Lindsay’s father Michael with his children. Michael was released from prison in March after serving less than two years out of a four year sentence for DUI and assault.

This week’s Enquirer is reporting that Michael plans to reveal that his wife used cocaine while pregnant with Lindsay if things don’t go his way in the custody battle. This is not entirely new, as these details about Dina’s alleged cocaine use were revealed during their divorce:

In court documents related to the Lohans’ divorce, Michael stated: “During our courtship, my wife abused cocaine on a regular basis. She would fly into fits of rage… and while my wife was pregnant with our oldest child, Lindsay, she would travel regularly to Flushing, Queens, in order to purchase cocaine.

“My wife has always rationalized her use of cocaine by saying that ‘it sharpens her talents’”

[From National Enquirer print edition, July 2, 2007]

Lohan’s mom denies using cocaine while pregnant.

The Enquirer quotes an expert as saying that if this is true, it could genetically predispose Lindsay to become an addict herself. Whether the cause of Lindsay’s addictive personality is nature or nuture or a combination of both, it’s not that much of a stretch to look to her messed up family as inspiration. I’m not saying that she shouldn’t have personal responsibility for her issues, just that you can see where they come from.

Lohan is wisely going to spend more time in Promises rehab beyond 30 days. Dina says she’s “doing great” and is going into the facility’s “extended care program.” Lindsay’s 21st birthday party in Vegas on July 2nd has been cancelled, but she will still have an alcohol-free party outside of the facility. While I wish her the best and hope she cleans up for good, the skeptic in me thinks she’s staying longer in rehab so that she can time her exit to maximum effect. If she were to get out now, her return to the paparazzi spotlight would be eclipsed by Paris’ big release from jail.
