Quentin Tarantino’s Air Rage

ppf-001557.jpg
Sometimes, you have a perception of people that you’ve never met, that you just can’t shake. I’ve seen Quentin Tarantino interviewed. He seems normal enough, but I still kind of imagine him as a – balding - kid sitting in an attic plotting ways to kill people. Which I guess he kind of is, except in my mind he’s really killing them, not just faking for film.

So for the stewards on a recent flight from the Phillipines to LAX who were faced with his air rage, I hope they didn’t recognise him in the same way I do.

“Tiffany (Limos, actress) was pushing Quentin in a wheelchair,” the flier told us. “Apparently, Tarantino injured his back to the point where he couldn’t walk . . . Quentin made one of the stewardesses cry because he didn’t want to sit in his first-class seat. He wanted to sit on the floor or in one of the flight attendant’s seats.” A Philippine politician who happened to be on board had to come from his seat in business class to break up the fight. Meanwhile, cranky Tarantino “was telling Tiffany Limos how much he loved her . . . He called her ‘the wife’ on the flight.” Reps for Tarantino and Limos didn’t return calls.

New York Post

Was actress Tiffany employed just to push the director in the wheelchair, or was she travelling with him for a reason?

Tarantino and “the wife” were returning from the Cinemanila film festival, where he was honoured, I can only assume for his ‘contribution to directing’. On the way to picking up his Lifetime Achievement Award, he was stuck in a traffic jam in his limousine, so he decided to catch a rickshaw to the venue. This isn’t how he injured his back, no word on how that happened. Maybe he fell down the attic steps while pursuing a particularly grisly plot idea. Or maybe he did it while feeding the cat.

J-Lo says she’ll have a baby when God wants her to

gla-000332.jpg
Jennifer Lopez has confirmed all the speculation that she wants to have a baby with husband Marc Anthony, but seems to be taking a more natural and laid-back approach to fertility than a lot of people. She said, “‘I love kids. I can’t wait to have a baby, believe me. I’m ready and so is Marc. We’re waiting for it to happen, but I guess it’ll happen when God wants it.’” That’s great that she’s not too worried about it or letting it get her down. A lot of people have speculated that the couple is having fertility problems, apparently based on the fact that they’ve been married three years, and Jennifer is 38 years old. A lot of people wait longer than that to have kids, and it’s not weird for women to have their first in the forties anymore. J-Lo also says she finds happiness in her three step-children, so it’s nice to know they haven’t been thrown by the wayside.

“Jennifer Lopez believes she will have a baby when God wants her to have one. The singer-and-actress admits she and husband Marc Anthony are desperate for children but doesn’t think they have any influence over when it will happen. Jennifer - who was raised a Catholic - told Grazia magazine, ‘I love kids. I can’t wait to have a baby, believe me. I’m ready and so is Marc. We’re waiting for it to happen, but I guess it’ll happen when God wants it.’”

“Although she doesn’t have children of her own, the 38-year-old star is enjoying being a stepmother to Marc’s three children from two previous relationships - Ariana, 14, Cristian, six and four-year-old Ryan. She revealed, ‘It’s a blessing having them as part of my family. I call them my three little angels.’ Jennifer has also credited Marc for making her a more rounded and mature individual.

“The ‘I’m Real’ singer who has been married twice before, and said, ‘These past years I’ve gained maturity and stability, which have bought new perspectives into my life. My priorities have taken a different lead - I mean, Marc is the most important thing in my life. He’s my partner, he’s the love of my life. He makes me a better person and I think I do the same for him. He gives me a balance which is hard to describe.’”

[From AZ Central]

I think the tabloids have made up a lot of those “Jennifer Lopez is devastated she can’t conceive” just like most of the “Jennifer Aniston is lonely and miserable without Brad Pitt” stories. They kind of assume they would feel that way in that position, so it’s probably safe that Jennifer Lopez is dying for babies and can’t think of anything else, and Jennifer Aniston is dying of sadness. They’re both successful career women…of varying talent, depending on your opinion. I know most people don’t like J-Lo… I’ve never been able to explain why, but I really like her. Marc Anthony scares the bejezus out of me, and makes me concerned that they’d have babies with shrunken heads, but other than that, it’s all good.

Nick Hogan is a drag racing moron

agm-005218.jpg
When I first wrote about Hulk Hogan’s son’s car crash the other day, I was sorta cranky and unsympathetic. Mostly because the kid seemed like a moron who reported missing jewelry as stolen to the police and had three tickets for extreme speeding in under a year. I was pretty sure I’d eat crow for it, but it turns out I was right, Nick Bollea (Hogan’s real last name) is a complete moron who’s seriously endangered other people’s lives on several occasions. Multiple witnesses report that - on the night of his fateful, massive car crash that left passenger John J. Graziano in critical condition at the hospital - Bollea was racing a silver Dodge Viper on State Route 60, a main drag through downtown Clearwater, Florida - early in the evening. I’m not saying racing is ever okay (it seems to often lead to injuries and death) but generally even the people moronic enough to race on public streets do it in the middle of the night, not 7:30 in the evening.

“A woman said Hulk Hogan’s son was racing another car moments before he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a tree, critically injuring his passenger. Frances Vitalis, a registered nurse from Plant City, said she saw 17-year-old Nick Bollea’s Toyota Supra smash into a median and spin into a palm tree Sunday night. She said the Supra and a Dodge Viper were revving their engines and racing between traffic signals before the crash.

“‘We knew something was going to happen,’ said Vitalis, who was riding a motorcycle with a friend behind the cars. ‘You know that this is a bad situation and these guys are hotdogging.’ Bollea’s attorney, J. Kevin Hayslett, declined to comment. Clearwater police spokesman Wayne Shelor also declined to comment on the witness accounts, citing an ongoing investigation. He said detectives have talked to ‘a number of eyewitnesses.’ Police so far have said only that excessive speed contributed to the crash.

“Shelor issued a statement Wednesday afternoon saying Hulk Hogan ‘was not driving a car beside or near the one his son, Nick, was driving when it crashed.’ Shelor said Hogan arrived at the scene minutes after the crash. Meanwhile, Bollea’s passenger, 22-year-old John J. Graziano of Dunedin, remained in critical condition at Bayfront Medical Center, a hospital spokeswoman said.”

[From the Washington Post]

I always thought “hotdogging” was the term used for stuffing a billion hot dogs in your mouth at one of those competitive eating competitions, but it turns out it’s something much, much less funny. I really hope there will be severe legal repercussions for this Nick. He’s clearly one of those morons that doesn’t understand how dangerous a car can be, and nothing short of their own injury will teach them otherwise. In the last twelve months, Nick has been cited four times for extreme speeding and has four points on his license as a result. He was clocked at 115 mph in a 70 mph zone, 106 mph in a 70 mph zone, 57 mph in a 30 mph zone, the most recent, on August 10th, 16 days before his massive accident, Bollea was clocked doing 82 mph in a 45 mph construction zone while workers were present. If he’s getting caught doing this four times in twelve months, can you imagine how often he actually speeds? The guy probably does 45 mph through the Burger King drive through. Let’s pray his bonehead parents love him enough to take away his license and don’t get him another car. And maybe handcuff him to the bed for a few days, just to give him a feeling for how much his life could suck if he messes up again.

Note by Celebitchy The latest news on the passenger in the car with Nick is that he is still in the hospital in critical condition. Nick’s friend John Graziano was a marine who served two tours of duty in Iraq, having returned last October to the states. Nick Hogan could get up to 15 years in jail if his friend ends up mortally injured and he was found to have been drinking or drag racing at the time of the accident.

Is Courteney Cox’s marriage in trouble?

null
This week’s National Enquirer features Brad and Angelina’s supposed custody battle for Shiloh on the cover along with an inset photo of Courteney Cox and David Arquette with the headline “Split: Courteney Cox’s marriage falls apart.” Just like the Brad and Angelina non-story, which we covered on Monday, the Courteney Cox and David Arquette split is a whole lot of speculation based on known facts about the couple.

Courteney is working on her show Dirt, and the Enquirer says that David must be pissed because she’s focusing on her career, and they haven’t had another baby yet. It’s also supposedly a big deal that they show up to events without each other. Courteney’s old admission that they sought therapy for their marriage is repeated several times, even though it’s a quote from last summer. All this speculation is done tabloid-style in the guise of nasty insider quotes. There hasn’t been one public fight, one staff member who blabbed, or any other detail to back up this story. It’s all “experts” and “insiders” saying they must be having trouble.

What’s more is that their vacation in Hawaii with Jennifer Aniston, in which they were seen kayaking with their daughter and having fun, is used as some kind of twisted evidence that they’re doomed, since Aniston and Pitt broke up right after a vacation with Cox and Arquette back in 2005.

In a recent effort to work on their relationship, they took a trip to Hawaii together - but it was hardly a second honeymoon because Courteney’s best friend Jennifer Aniston traveled with them!

Ironically, Jen and Brad Pitt announced their split just days after taking a tropical vacation with Courteney and David in 2005. And insiders don’t expect Courteney and David’s trip to work miracles for their relationship, either.

Long considered an odd couple because of their contrasting personalities - Courteney, 43, is a self-described perfectionist, and David, 35, is known for being laid-back and kooky - they were once believed to have one of Hollywood’s most loving marriages.

But sources say David and Courteney appeared to have grown apart in recent years - spending a substantial amount of time away from one another.

“They seem to be living separate lives,” said the insider.

While Courteney is hard at work on the second season of her TV series “Dirt” - and although David is involved in the production - she spends a lot of free time with the other cast members.

I think David wanted Courteney to shlow down after the first season ended, so they could work on getting pregnant with their second child, “but she went straight into pre-production for the second season,” added the insider.

“Courteney’s first child had to be conceived in vitro, so if she wants another, she has to really stop what she’s doing and focus on getting pregnant.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, September 3, 2007]

The article goes on to say that Courteney “must… feel like she just married a big kid who will never be as mature as her,” and that they “are hanging on right now, but it’s by a thread.”

Can you imagine being a celebrity and having to read shit like that? It’s the nastiest kind of gossip, stuff that declares your relationship is doomed based on your careers, your personalities, and the fact that you brought a friend along on a family vacation.

Reading those “insider” quotes makes me picture a bitter old housewife sitting in her 1970s kitchen wearing a housedress and smoking a cigarette. She’s bitching to her meek neighbor, who just hangs around for the lousy company, about all their other neighbors who are much happier than she is and don’t think about her much. Everyone knows her husband is cheating on her with his secretary, but she’s so busy focusing on other people that she’s oblivious.

Back in November Courteney said she wasn’t trying to have a sibling for Coco yet as she wanted to wait until she was old enough to help with the baby, but that they were considering another child. It doesn’t sound like she’s desperate for another one or anything. Maybe she should just give vague quotes to the press from now on instead of letting us know anything about her life, because it’s bound to be used to generate any type of story they want to. You can see how the celebrities flip out at the paparazzi. They get the pictures that are used for obnoxious stories like this one, and they’re always buzzing around like flies.

Bridget Moynahan & Tom Brady baby update

null
It’s kind of hard to figure out the exact time line of Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady’s relationship. It seems to come down to a matter of days, which can be hard for us outsiders to figure out. But it appears that they probably unknowingly (one would assume, but who knows) conceived their son, broke up, and Tom got together with Gisele Bundchen very shortly thereafter. Because Bridget seemed to be pregnant longer than an elephant, a lot of people assumed she and Tom hooked up after they broke up, but many people have pointed out that it’s not unusual for a woman to carry her first child up to two weeks longer than her due date. Either way, it seems unlikely, though certainly not impossible, that Tom found out about the pregnancy and then split. It seems more likely that they’d already broken up when Bridget found out she was pregnant, and her pregnancy status didn’t bring their relationship back together (not that I’m saying she wanted it to or that it should or shouldn’t have). But there’s some understandable animosity between the two. Bridget seemed pissed that Tom hooked up with Gisele so quickly after their breakup. And I mean that’s understandable, if your hot ex-boyfriend starts dating the world’s highest paid supermodel seconds after you break up, you’d probably be pissed too. Especially if a few months later you were carrying what looked to be his own personal football team through the summer heat.

“The arrival of a beautiful baby boy has not eased the bad blood between exes Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady.

“The New England Patriots QB flew to Los Angeles by private jet last week for the birth of his son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan.

“‘Tom was only allowed to see the baby for a short time,’ says a West Coast spy. ‘Bridget would not see him herself.’ Moynahan’s publicist said in a statement: ‘Bridget is very thankful for a happy baby, excited about being a mother, and very pleased that the father, Tom Brady, was able to be there for the birth.’

“But our source says: ‘He was only allowed to come after the baby was born. The woman would not see him, period. And she gave the baby her last name.’

“The model/actress and Brady split last year after three years of dating. News of the pregnancy emerged just after Brady began a relationship with Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

“‘[Tom] is waiting to find out when he can see the little guy again,’ says the snitch. ‘Bridget is not giving him any slack on this at all.’

“Yesterday, her spokesman said Brady and Moynahan were ‘together’ at the hospital, but couldn’t say if he was in the room during the birth. ‘Bridget and Tom are on speaking terms and have the best interests of the child at heart,’ he said.”

[From Gatecrasher]

I think that, given just what’s known about the complexity of their relationship, most of it makes sense. I doubt many women would want the father of their child in the room during labor. It’s such a scary and happy and emotional process, and having someone around that hurt you (regardless of fault/reason) would make an already challenging time all the more so. Either way, Tom’s allowed to move on with his life, as it seems he has, and Bridget’s allowed to do the same, and to give the baby her last nae. It’s not necessarily an affront to Brady. If I carried something as big as what Bridget had going on, I wouldn’t be naming it after anyone else. I’d probably name it “My Mom is So Amazing” or something equally complementary. I don’t know how she managed to do that. It really was ironic how it looked like the kid had a football in there at the end. Maybe he snuck one in when no one was looking. Either way, welcome to the world John Edward Thomas Moynahan.

Bobby Brown raises his demands

csh-004785.jpg

Just when you thought Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston were getting along… or at least smoking pot together, which for them is getting along – turns out their custody fight is heating up. And how could it not, in the world of celebrities? I have yet to hear of anyone with a sane divorce when it involves kids. Scratch that, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis have been very cool to each other. But everyone else has been spitting mad and vengeful. Maybe this is de rigeur for a Hollywood divorce. Bobby Brown is claiming that since Whitney Houston has become daughter Bobbi Kristina’s sole support, she’s tried to cut Brown completely out of Bobbi’s life. He’s also claiming that he’s supported Whitney and Bobbi, even though by most printed accounts of court records, he has few assets.

“In newly released legal papers that were filed last month, Brown, 38, claims, ‘Since Whitney has been awarded sole legal and physical custody of Bobbi Kris, she has attempted to eliminate me from Bobbi Kris’ life.

“The former New Edition singer also states, ‘I did all I could to see my daughter … I also paid approximately $10,000 for Whitney and Bobbi Kris to live in a nice hotel while Whitney was going through rehab … I basically lived out of my car.’”

[From People]

That doesn’t exactly make a lot of sense. The last time Whitney was in rehab in March of 2005, the couple were still together. And if nothing else, they had homes. Why would Bobby be living in his car? I mean he’s an unusual guy, maybe he did it voluntarily or to martyr himself, but I can’t even guess why there’d be a logical reason for him to do so.

“Pointing an accusing finger at Houston, 44, Brown also says, ‘I have not seen or spoken to my daughter since early June and I have no prospect of speaking to her or seeing her anytime soon due to Whitney’s actions.’ In her declaration to the court, Houston claims that Brown has been ‘almost totally uninvolved in taking care of [Bobbi Kristina],’ and that she believes ‘Bobby is going to try to get child or spousal support from me … Bobby is fully capable of working and earning substantial sums of money if he would control her personal behavior.’

‘We have a daughter together and I would like him to be involved in her life,’ Houston says. ‘Frankly, I needed to be divorced from him so that I could get my life back on track.’ In May, Brown sued Houston for spousal support, child support and shared shared [sic] custody. Despite their legal problems, the couple were seen together earlier this month at Joe’s Crab Shack in Alpharetta, Ga., having dinner and even posing for pictures with fans, though Houston’s rep said the two were not about to reconcile.

[From People]

From the outside, it at least seems like Whitney’s make an attempt to clean up her life and get things back on track. I’m not saying she’s a model of health or wellness, but she seems like she’s got a better head on her shoulders, especially when she’s got her addictions under control. Bobby seems off his rocker to some extent no matter what. On his best day he’s referring to himself in the third person and hanging out with Karrine “Superhead” Steffans. Not exactly what you want your impressionable teenage daughter around. I think Bobby probably does want to see his daughter, but isn’t capable of understanding that he needs to behave in a more safe and rational manner to do so. He probably also wants a chunk of Whitney’s money and he could get that if he had joint custody of Bobbi Kristina. Ultimately, if he wants his situation to change, it’d probably serve him better to work on himself and his own issues for a bit and then come back to court.

Jennifer Aniston is good to her friends

3wm.JPG

As much as I like Angelina and Brad, I still like Jennifer Aniston too. I don’t feel I have to choose, though the three of them keep yelling at me to pick, and screaming about my “divided loyalties.” Or maybe I need to take more Xanax. But I’ve decided that I can love them all, because all three have good things going for them. Angelina tries to save/adopt the world, Brad has his New Orleans/love of spartan architecture, and Jennifer takes her friends on fancy vacations. All good things here. According to Star, Jen is quite the sugar mama, and her friends are very loyal to her and appreciative of it.

“‘Jennifer pays for everything all the time,’ insider tells Star. ‘If she plans a vacation, you know she’s footing the bill for her entire entourage. Jen’s assistant books it all. The planes, the cars, the hotels, the meals, the activities, the spa services, the clothes they wear on vacation, the cocktails – it’s so over the top! She’s like the sugar daddy everyone wishes they had, except she’s a woman! You could call her sugar mama!’

“Among the girls who’ve enjoyed luxury getaways courtesy of their de-pocketed [sic] pal: Actress Andrea Bendewald, who’s been close to Jennifer for more than a decade; movie producer Kristin Hahn, who broke off her working relationship with Brad Pitt after he divorced Jen, and yoga instructor Mandy Ingber, who bonded with Jen this summer during private yoga sessions at Jen’s Malibu home. On August 11, she took her posse to the swanky Ojai Valley Inn & Spa, an hour north of L.A. The benevolent beauty also splashes out on Cartier watches and spends thousands on baby gifts for her mommy pals.

“But is her open-pocket policy costing Jen her happiness? ‘Her friends really enjoy themselves, but I bet they’re afraid that she’ll find a serious boyfriend,’ the insider says. ‘That means no more free trips for them – and that’s why they seem to be hard on her dates. I’m sure they were brutal with her last boyfriend, Paul Sculfor.’”

[From Starpulse]

So now I just have to figure out a way to ingratiate myself to Jennifer Aniston. Seriously, it would suck if her friends were uber-critical of her boyfriends to keep Jen to herself, but I doubt that’s the truth. I’m sure she’d catch on after awhile. The article does make it sound like she’s basically bribing her friends to hang out with her. I would bet she likes to have a good time and knows that she can afford it, while it’s more of a strain on some of her friends. One (or some) of them is blabbing to someone, since a lot of her dirt seems to get out. But like I said before, I think most of the stuff written about her is tabloid conjecture. I think she’s made a pretty full life for herself based on her friends instead of a guy, and that’s great. And if she wants to make me her friend and take me to Paris with her, even better.

Justin Timberlake & Andy Samberg to perform ‘Dick in a Box’ at the Emmys

dick.JPG

It’s August 30th, which means there’s only 116 days left ‘till Christmas, so we best whip out the “Dick in a Box” video again. It’s like Christmas in July, but we’re on the quarter system here. It turns out that there actually is a real – and wonderful – reason to tune into the Emmys this year: Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake will be performing their (now) classic holiday song “Dick in a Box.” It’s right up there with “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen” now. The lyrically gifted song - a Freudian lovefest and feminist nightmare – is nominated in the Original Music and Lyrics category. But it turns out there’s a bit of controversy of the lyrics – I have no idea why.

“Justin Timberlake doesn’t want to cover up his ‘Dick’ at the Emmys. As I first reported, Timberlake and Andy Samberg are said to be in talks to perform their Saturday Night Live skit ‘Dick in a Box’ at the Primetime Emmys Sept. 16. A source reports that things may have hit a snag because the show’s producers have apparently asked Timberlake and Samberg to change the words of the racy ditty to make it more family friendly. The ceremony airs on Fox at 8 p.m.

“I’m told the singer and the actor have balked at the request. When the holiday-themed skit debuted on SNL in December, the word ‘dick’ was bleeped out 16 times. The skit features Timberlake and Samberg bearing gifts attached to their man parts while crooning to their ladies. The funny thing is that if the Emmys performance were to occur, it’s possible Timberlake and Samberg could have already been named winners by that time, since ‘Dick in a Box’ is nominated for Original Music and Lyrics. It goes up against Family Guy’s ‘My Drunken Irish Dad,’ MADtv’s ‘Merry Ex-Mas’ and double-nominee Scrubs for ‘Guy Love’ and ‘Everything Comes Down to Poo.’ The Original Music and Lyrics award will be bestowed Sept. 8 at the Creative Arts Emmy ceremony, a week before the Primetime Emmys.

[From E! News]

Oh man, I think I just found my dream Emmy category. As much as I love “Family Guy” more than any other show, and admire any song titled “Everything Comes Down to Poo” (because it’s both funny and true) “Dick in a Box” is infinitely better than all the rest. I’ll even dare to say that it’s the greatest 3 minutes of singing ever put on television. Don’t challenge me on this, I will hear no arguments. The song, inspired by ’90s R&B bands, is lyrically genius, as it explains the male psyche more succinctly than any psychologist ever could. It also sounds oddly like most of *Nsync’s Christmas CD - not that I’ve ever heard it, nor do I own it, nor do I play it from the day after Thanksgiving through January 1st – which is okay, because there’s a New Years song on there. Let’s pray that the FOX sensors back down (it’s not like it’s Cock in a Box… thought that’d be funny too) and our television screens are graced with a live performance this September 16th.

Here’s the video one more time, because you know you wanted to watch it again, and were about to head over to YouTube anyway.

Wentworth Miller is a diva on set (update)


Wentworth Miller is said to be “self-important” and acting “like a spoiled princess” on the set of Prison Break. He specifically forbids extras to talk to him and is said to have thrown hissy fits and flipped off the crew.

In contrast, his on-screen brother Lincoln, played by Dominic Purcell, is well liked on set and is said to be friendly with the crew and cast.

“Wentworth’s out of control with his self-important attitude,” an eyewitness on the set told The Enquirer. “The guy’s got the production assistants waiting for him with his flip-flops and beverages between scenes. They’re trained to respond to his every whim.”

The British-born Wentworth, 35, who’s guest-starred on dozens of shows including “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and “ER,” was not well-known until he landed one of the starring roles on the Fox action series.

Gearing up for its third season, the show features Wentworth as hero Michael Scofield, who enters prison to help his false accused brother Lincoln, played by Dominic Purcell, to break out.

But Wentworth’s bravado ends when the cameras shut off, says the set insider.

In fact, he’s “downright prissy!”

While co-star Dominic chats up extras and crewmembers, Wentworth has given orders for everyone to leave him alone.

“He even told the director: ‘I don’t want the extras talking to me,’” said the insider.

“That’s rich coming from someone who did extra work for a long time before he got lucky with ‘Break’.”

According to the insider, Wentworth also “throws fits” and whines “in a high-pitched voice” when he’s not getting his way.

“He has even flipped off the crew during his fits,” said the insider.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, September 3, 2007]

There isn’t a specific story of something Wentworth did on set other than being generally bitchy and flipping off the crew, so maybe he’s just standoffish and not as bad as they say.

I love the guy in Prison Break and as long as he’s simply demanding and not too over the top, why should it hurt his career? There aren’t any stories of him being snotty to waitresses or throwing fits on planes, so I would bet he’s moderately high strung and likes things a certain way. He may have a sense of entitlement, but he’s not late on set, neglecting his work or generally partying all over Hollywood. Our standards are low for celebrities, but this story about Wentworth certainly seems to be within the realm of acceptable star behavior.

As I said in an earlier story about Wentworth this week, he needs to go on to A-list film work. He’s already got the attitude down, and you know he can nail even the fiercest role.

Update The commentors here and most everyone on ONTD, where this news was posted (thanks!) says that Miller is known to be very nice to his fans and extremely humble. People have friends who have met him and gush about how great he is. He is known to be a very gracious and kind person, and everyone is saying this story is total b.s.

Thanks to Just Jared for these scans of Wentworth in German GQ, where there are a lot more pictures from the magazine.
