Semi-crazy Nancy Grace gives birth to twins early

jtm-018117.jpg

Nancy Grace, the “semi-crazy” angry diatribist on Headline News, gave birth to twins on Sunday. I say “semi-crazy” because I want to avoid being sued, not because I really think she’s only semi-crazy. Grace and husband David Linch welcomed a boy, John David, and a girl, Lucy Elizabeth. Nancy had developed a pulmonary edema during her pregnancy and had to be induced early. I have no idea if tyrannical rage can lead to a higher rate of pulmonary edema, but if so, I would have to say that she brought this on herself.

“Her physician determined it would be best for Nancy, and for the twins, to deliver them [on Sunday],” a rep for Grace said. “Lucy Elizabeth, John David, and their proud parents are now resting comfortably.” John David weighed 5 lbs., 1 oz. at birth, and Lucy Elizabeth weighed 2 lbs., 15 oz. according to the rep. Grace, 48, had been due to give birth in January, PEOPLE reported this summer.

“The babies are doing fine. Our little girl is doing just as well as her brother despite her weight – and mom is doing great,” Linch tells PEOPLE. Pulmonary edema involves swelling and/or fluid accumulation in the lungs. No further details were given about Grace’s condition, or that of the twins, on Monday. Grace and Linch, an investment banker in Atlanta, married in April. According to Grace’s rep, John David is named for his father and John the Revelator. Lucy Elizabeth is named after Grace’s mother Elizabeth and grandmother Lucy.

Last month Grace was feted at a baby shower in Manhattan hosted by good pal and former Court TV colleague Diane Dimond. Linch and a host of pals, including Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lisa Bloom, attended and brought gifts such as a pair of his and hers cowboy booties for the twins to match mom’s signature pair.

[From People]

Nothing classier than his and her cowboy boots. A nearly three pound baby is pretty tiny. Hopefully she’s doing okay. I have twin uncles who were born in the early fifties that weighed 1 pound each and were never expected to live. The nurses kept them alive by flicking their feet to keep their hearts beating. One would think that with all the neonatal technology these days, Lucy will be fine. Now growing up with a rageaholic mother might do a number on her, but physically she’ll probably be as healthy as the next kid. Yes I know Nancy Grace has good reason to be mad: her fiancé was murdered when she was 19 and she’s been a longtime crusader for victim’s rights. I applaud all of that. But just because I admire her tenacity doesn’t mean I don’t find her annoying as all get out. There’s a 50/50 chance that if she ever catches one of the twins egging someone’s house she’ll arrest them, prosecute them, and throw away the key before bedtime hits. Good luck kids.

Amy Winehouse freaked out Snoop Dogg… & that’s saying something

wenn1645413.jpg

Few things in life piss me off more than really bad Italian food. And apparently that’s the one thing Amy Winehouse and I have in common… well that and unnecessarily big hair. Before her disastrous performance at the MTV Europe Awards last week, Snoop Dogg, the show’s host, decided to pay a visit to Amy. Snoop is nothing if not polite that way. When he got there, he witnessed a scene so bizarre that it freaked even him out – and you know Snoop has seen some crazy shiznit in his day. Amy was throwing spaghetti bolognese all over the walls of her dressing room, cutting up the rug, and hurling whatever she could get her hands on. Which leaves me to wonder: diva, or drugs? Or a diva on drugs?

Amy Winehouse went on the warpath before the MTV Europe Music Awards in Munich last week and caused thousands of pounds’ worth of damage to her dressing room. The Camden caner was armed and dangerous - with a plate of spaghetti bolognese that she picked up and threw over the walls. Angry Amy lobbed anything she could get her hands on - fruit, tables and chairs. And then she turned on the rug in her dressing room at the Olympiahalle, and cut it to shreds.

Legendary party king Snoop Dogg, who had dropped in to visit the beehive-haired diva before the show, was shell-shocked at the carnage. A member of his entourage told me: “An hour and a half before the show, Snoop said he wanted to see Amy. When we got there, she was in a right state. Everyone, including her management, just stood there as she lobbed spaghetti up the walls. It went on for about five minutes - with her kicking the walls and throwing whatever she could get her hands on - even the tables and the chairs. Then she started cutting up the rug. Snoop was just standing there open-mouthed. He was pretty freaked out by it and didn’t want to hang out with her after that.”

[From the Mirror]

When you’re too crazy for Snoop Dogg, you’re too crazy to live. I had a lot of evidence prior to this that Amy Winehouse was likely going to end up dead by the end of the year. I mean she’s got to be the most self-destructive celebrity of the last twenty years, and often makes Britney Spears look like a kitten. Britney has yet to go running through the streets in bloody ballet shoes with cuts on her face… that I know of. Even after overdosing and walking out of rehab, Amy is still having drug dealers bring packages to the windows of her apartment – with paparazzi around. All those things made me worry for her. But Snoop Dogg thinking you’re crazy messed up? Thinking you’re so mental he doesn’t even want to hang out with you and snort a little blow? That’s practically like a psychiatrist saying you’re as good as dead.

Sarah Jessica responds to topping Maxim’s “Unsexiest” list

jtm-030273.jpg

Oh Sarah Jessica Parker. You’re not the prettiest girl around; you have overly-veiny hands, and you’re supposedly super anal-retentive, but I like you nonetheless. While most people (okay most normal, non-famous people) would be crushed to come in first in a very public ugly contest, Sarah Jessica Parker says it doesn’t matter to her in the least. Hey if nothing else, she’s a good liar. Ahem, I mean actress.

Sarah Jessica Parker has laughed off the title of Unsexiest Woman Alive, insisting she is unfazed by what critics have to say about her looks. The Sex and the City star, 42, was named alongside singers Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears and Madonna, and Grey’s Anatomy star Sandra Oh in the new poll by Maxim magazine last month (Oct07).

But Parker claims she isn’t bothered by the scathing survey. She says, “What they don’t know is that one day I’ll wake up fat. But I’ll still be happy, just like I am now.

“I believe in the old ’sticks and stones’ philosophy, so frankly their words don’t come close to hurting. And it does not bother me in the least if people don’t think I’m sexy. I don’t think I am, either.”

[From the Post Chronicle]

Damn girl! Most people would at least go off on Maxim and how stupid/vain/mean-spirited it is to have an “Unsexiest” list. She didn’t even do that. I really hate people that are good at taking the high road. It means that they’re happy and confident and either not full of themselves at all – or so full of themselves that it doesn’t even occur to them to care. Either way, it sounds like a nice way to live.

Vogue UK’s Most Glamorous Women


Glamour is defined as being “fascination, charisma, beauty, or sexual attraction”. All of which sound like a pretty good way to be described, particularly in relation to your physical appearance.

So getting named one of Vogue’s most glamorous women has got to be a feather in your cap (feather’s in caps? This is going to be a great look for fall!). Vogue UK’s December issue has picked fifty stylish women for the Definitive List of Today’s Glamorous Women.

Included is the Queen of England, who I have to admit is definitely always looking fabulous, and it isn’t part of her job description. All she had to do was be born into the appropriate family, no style required. Not bad for someone no less than 81 years of age! Helen Mirren, also included on the list, said of her costumes for her role in The Queen: “Here were tweed skirts and sensible brown shoes, Hermès and Barbour,” she wrote of the creations of designer, Consolata Boyle. “I thought I’d never be able to understand this woman.”. Of course, since the death of Diana (the time period portrayed in the film) Her Majesty has had something of a style makeover.

Looking good is part of the job for another lady on the list, Kate Moss, and I wonder if she deserves to be on the list? Kate’s had a bad style year, mostly because of her favourite accessory Pete Doherty. Still, not many people could look cute covered in glastonbury mud, but Kate did pull that look off.

Here’s the full list of Today’s Glam Women:

Dame Helen Mirren; Claudia Schiffer; Jemima Khan; Sophie Dahl; Natalie Massenet; Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe; Sadie Coles; Vanessa Redgrave; Rosamund Pike; Poppy and Chloe Delevingne; Zadie Smith; Zaha Hadid; Lady Isabella Cawdor; Daisy Lowe; Susanna Chancellor; Coco Rocha; Rebekah Wade; Tamara Mellon; Stella Tennant; the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire; Daphne Guinness; Natalia Vodianova; Sam Taylor-Wood; Mary Charteris; Luella Bartley; Charlotte Rampling; Plum Sykes; Lady Antonia Fraser; Naomi Campbell; Stella McCartney; Polly Samson; Ruth Rogers; Princess Rosario Saxe-Coburg; Dame Vivien Duffield; Gael Boglione; Phoebe Philo; Olivia Wilde; Lily Donaldson; Susanne Kapoor; Charlotte Stockdale; Sabrina Guinness; Lady Helen Taylor; Jasmine Guinness; Sheherazade Goldsmith; Honor Fraser; Charlotte Casiraghi; Andrea and Alice Dellal; Marina Palma; Kate Moss; Sally Albemarle; Lady Amanda Harlech; the Queen; Alice Temperley; Caroline Michel; Sophia Hesketh

Times Online

Some of these people I’ve never heard of, but I’m kind of glad. Anyone can shove a picture of Charlize Theron at the Oscars, impeccably groomed for many hours beforehand, and tell us she looks fabulous. It takes a real style queen to recognize that the Queen is not only well presented, but also fascinating and charismatic. Maybe that’s why Anna Wintour, Queen of the dull haircut and sour expression, is allowed to decide what’s stylish.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Helen Mirren is shown at the National Movie Awards on 9/28/07. Claudia Schiffer is shown at the Stardust London premiere on 10/3/07. Vanessa Redgrave is shown at a photocall for White Countess on 2/8/06. Queen Elizabeth is shown at Epsom Downs Racetrack on 6/2/07. Sophie Dahl is shown at the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix premiere on 7/3/07 and at The Golden Age Of Couture VIP Gala on 9/18/07. Kate Moss is shown with James Brown (not that one) at the James Brown London Haircare Range launch at 10/10/07. She does look rather glamorous there, I love that pantsuit! Thanks to PRPhotos for these pictures.

Nicole Kidman says her face is ‘Completely Natural’ with no additives, preservatives


Nicole Kidman insists that she hasn’t had plastic surgery. Excuse me while I snicker at the fact that her face doesn’t move while she says this. At first I gave her the benefit of the doubt, because botox isn’t technically surgery, but she also says there’s nothing in her face.

To be honest, I am completely natural,” Kidman tells Marie Claire magazine. “I have nothing in my face or anything,” she says. “I wear sunscreen, and I don’t smoke. I take care of myself. And I’m very proud to say that.”

Melbourne Herald Sun

Well Nic, there’s no expression in your unnaturally smooth face, if that’s what you mean by nothing in it.

Actually, given that Nicole may have been the most freckled redhead in the Australia at the start of her career, maybe she has kept out of the sun. After all, once you get freckles removed you have to stay out of the sun to keep them at bay.

Nic doesn’t have a problem with plastic surgery, adding that “Anybody can do anything to themselves, their bodies”.

Nicole also says that falling in love is her best beauty secret. Nicole did look pretty amazing at the Australian Record Industry Association Awards, at her husband’s side in a see-through mini dress. It was great to see her supporting her lower profile partner, who won the award for Best Country Album, and dedicated it to her.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Nicole Kidman is shown on 10/28/07 at the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Awards in Sydney. The woman she is posing with is Australian singer Delta Goodrem. She is also shown at the UN Development Fund For Women’s Unifem White Tie Dinner on 8/1/07. Thanks to WENN.

Julia Roberts, organic supermom to Hollywood’s youth


Julia Roberts has a new interview in the December issue of Variety Magazine in which she reveals a desire to be an organic supermom who grows and makes all her own food and does as many crafts as she can fit into a day with as little impact on the environment as possible. I would rather make an entire website than fold the laundry, so I guess I’m not one to talk, but it sounds like you would need a lot of your kid’s Ritalin to accomplish the goals she’s setting for herself:

juliavanityfair1.jpgNEW YORK, N.Y.–In a joint interview with Vanity Fair features editor Jane Sarkin and V.F. West Coast editor Krista Smith, Julia Roberts says that, at age 40, her dream is to be “a highly fulfilled and productive stay-at-home mom and wife. The highest high would be growing our food that I then make, and then composting and growing more–that kind of circle.”

Roberts says having her own creative outlet is important, “even if it’s just silly needlework and stuff like that. To have that high-functioning fulfillment, and to have that radiate into my children so that I’m there with them, I’m connected with them, and I’m with Danny [Moder, her husband] and we’re all together, and yet my motor is revving.”

[From The Huffington Post]

I understand what she’s saying, because when you’re busy and fulfilled you find more meaning in your everyday activities. She’s richer than sin, so it’s probably important for her to have standards for herself so she doesn’t end up shopping and lazing around all day. What better way to spend time than doing things for your family? And good for Julia for caring about the environment and being conscious of her family’s footprint.

Roberts also calls the media attention on young celebrities “grotesque… like a circus sideshow,” and says that if her children want to go into show business she will try to give them as normal a life as possible, like Natalie Portman managed to have.

Roberts says she wants to mother Britney, because that’s how she seems to solve everything in her house. If only she could supervise all the young celebrities and get them knitting and composting as a viable alternative to partying. That’s a reality show in the making right there.

She spoke candidly about the paparazzi encroaching onto celebrities’ personal space and said there’s no reason for people to want pictures of celebrities’ children except to say that they’re cute. She said that we’re all pretty much the same and seemed to suggest that it’s not fair that celebrities are held under the spotlight and judged:

THE FRENZY SURROUNDING TODAY’S YOUNG CELEBRITIES:
“I think it’s just grotesque. It’s like a circus sideshow. I don’t know why anybody would even want to go into show business these days, with all of the different magazines and shows. It just wouldn’t be worth it. And it’s too fast. Before, you could build a career over years and many movies. Now it’s like you do one good movie and they throw a ton of money at you and a ton of attention at you. You’re being constructed outside of yourself before you even know who you are, and what you are, and how you want to do it, and why you want to do it.”

“I see and hear what’s happening to Britney Spears and it’s all I can do not to move her into my guest-house and say, ‘OK, this is how it’s going to be!’ And just take care of her.”

PAPARAZZI TAKING PHOTOS OF CELEBRITIES’ CHILDREN:
“I just feel like it’s so demeaning the way they behave, and I hate the fact that I even put any of my energy into thinking about it or being stressed about it. And really, more than anything, it just has to do with my kids. There’s no reason to take pictures of celebrities’ children other than for people to say, “Oh, they’re cute.” I think magazines shouldn’t run pictures of people’s kids. I have a problem with that. I also have a problem with the whole notion that, if I have Henry in a sling, I’m hiding him. He’s a baby and I’m carrying him around, and so’s the lady across the street. I get pissed off, because I think that it’s inhuman to chase a woman with her children.”

CELEBRITIES ARE JUST NORMAL PEOPLE:
“We’re all the same. Why can’t we get on board with this? That we’re all the same. Some have cooler jobs, some have less cool jobs, some have longer legs, some are nicer people, but we’re all the same. We’re all orbiting the same sun.”

[From The Huffington Post]

Roberts said that she’s done having kids for now, and that three are enough. When she’s working so hard on her family and their well being, you can see how she can get worn out with three little ones in the house. She is mom to twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, who turn three at the end of this month, and little Henry, who is just five months.

I like Julia Roberts’ attitude and she’s certainly managed to stay sane and out of the spotlight for a while. Like Angelina, she’s not exactly innocent when it comes to how she snared her current mate, but she seems to have moved on in her life and to be focused on what’s important, and she reminds us that we should be, too.

Julia Roberts is shown on 10/12/07 at American Cinematheque’s 2007 Award Show, where she was honored for her achievements. Thanks to Splash News.

Nicole Richie’s dogs to walk down the aisle in little costumes at her wedding


Nicole Richie seems to have postponed her planned wedding to boyfriend Joel Madden until after their baby is born in January. There were reports that she was going to marry Joel sometime this month, but it seems like they are going to wait as we haven’t heard much more about it.

This weeks’ National Enquirer claims that Nicole’s dad, Lionel Richie, told her to hold off getting married until after she had the baby. He’s also said to have promised to foot the entire bill:

[Nicole Richie’s dad] Lionel Richie keeps advising his fragile princess to postpone the wedding, avoid all the nuptual frenzy and just chill! Said a family insider: “Lionel doesn’t think Nicole can handle the stress, and told her: ‘Baby, in life it’s first things first!’” Knowing Nicole’s vulnerable and worried about delivering a healthy baby, Lionel’s assured her that as Father of The Bride, he’ll spend big bucks for a spectacular wedding whenever she wants it - but right now, he wants her to focus solely on the birth.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, Mike Walker’s column, November 12, 2007]

Nicole may be waiting to get married on the advice of her family, but she’s still preparing for the ceremony in little ways. Star Magazine reports that Nicole purchased costumes for her little dogs including a tuxedo for her Shih tzu, Honeychild, and a bridesmaid dress for Foxxy Cleopatra, her Pomeranian. That’s kind of cheesy, but it could also be cute:

nicolerichiehoneychild.jpg

[Nicole Richie] recently bought a canine tuxedo for her mutt, Honeychild, and a bridesmaid dress for her Pomeranian, Foxxy Cleopatra, from tony Santa Monica pet store The Wagging Tail. She wants the pooches to walk down the aisle with her when she weds her baby daddy.

[From Star Magazine, print edition, November 12, 2007]

Maybe the outfits were for Halloween, but since they could also serve as doggie wedding attire, it does sound like she’s planning for her pets to walk down the aisle with her. At least she has a soft spot for her animals considering how nasty and cold she’s rumored to be. Hopefully she’ll feel that way about her baby, too

Nicole Richie is shown in the header image on 10/30/07 shopping. Thanks to Splash News for this picture. She is seen with Honeychild and Foxxy Cleopatra in images found at Celebrity Dog Blog.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at the Beowulf premiere


Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt made an appearance at the premiere of Angelina’s new CGI epic, Beowulf, last night. Angelina plays an evil seductress through a realistic-looking avatar that appears semi-nude in one scene emerging from a pool. (link NSFW) Her body was mapped for the film, and she says that the results were so true to life that she felt “exposed” and had to explain to Brad that the movie was a bit racy:

Angelina said, “I was really surprised that I felt exposed. There are certain moments where I actually felt shy - and called home, just to explain that the fun movie I had done that was a digital animation was, in fact, a little different than we expected.

“I didn’t expect ourselves to come out as much. I didn’t expect it to feel as real, so it was kind of funny at first.”

Angelina, who was pregnant with her daughter Shiloh when she worked on ‘Beowulf,’ admits her baby bump caused some problems for the animators.

She told People magazine, “I was three months pregnant for some of it. You wouldn’t know though. We did the mapping of my body before and they worked wonders. It was a pleasure.”

[From ChinaDaily.com]

Angelina is said to have been snippy at the press conference for Beowulf where she made that statement. A journalist asked her about the competing covers of W Magazine that pitted her against her partner’s ex, Jennifer Aniston. She shot back “Why would I comment on that?” and said “That matters because….”

It doesn’t sound to me like she’s being pissy so much as refusing to continue a feud that is dragged out for the sake of selling gossip rags. It seems like Angelina has learned after repeatedly getting flogged by the media that there’s no possibility of answering that question in a way won’t be turned around and used to fuel fake and speculative stories. It’s never too late to STFU, so good for her.

Angelina’s brother, James Haven, didn’t quite get the memo yet, though. He was talking about how he’s great buddies with Brad, and hopes that he will cast him in one of his movies. He also says his sister isn’t too thin and that she hopes to have kids again soon.

When asked if Jolie, 32, and Brad Pitt, were planning for more kids, her brother James Haven told reporters: “I would assume yes. I’ve even been like, ‘So, when are you going to….’”

Pitt, 43, also showed up at the premiere and gave Jolie a peck on the cheek; she appeared smitten.

So how do the couple of more than two years keep the spark alive?

“They just work off each other well,” Haven, 34, said. “I just think there’s a certain energy to it.”

Haven told Usmagazine.com he has even bonded “amazingly” with Pitt.

“We get along great,” Haven said, “We talk about movies, we talk about bikes … kids obviously are a major topic, so it’s great. You know, I’m looking forward one day to maybe working with him.”

Though Jolie appeared relatively skinny in her dress, Haven brushed off any concerns for her health. “I know she’s fine … I know she’s fine,” he said.

[From US Weekly.com]

He didn’t talk smack about their dad or reveal too much, so I guess you can’t fault him for answering the questions that were posed to him.

Thanks to PRPhotos for these pictures of Brad and Angelina at the NY premiere of Beowulf last night. The film hits US theaters on November 16.

Shia LaBeouf’s most boring drunken arrest

shialabeoufmugshot.jpg
More details have come out in the Shia LaBeouf drunken arrest at Walgreen’s incident, and it does sound just like the drug store stand down that we assumed it was. He was asked to leave the store, he didn’t, and he got arrested. There’s no mention of screaming, shoving, or tantrum-throwing, and it seems like the guy wanted to go about his business and pick up some items and the security didn’t like the way he was weaving down the aisles and told him to get out. Shia stood his ground and got some publicity out of the deal.

If you’re going to be arrested for drunken conduct, this is the way to do it. Shia wasn’t driving, he wasn’t knocking shit over, he didn’t beat anyone up, and it doesn’t even sound like he was all that rude. I like to spend my time browsing in the drug store too, so I can’t fault the guy for asserting his right to shop at 2:30 in the morning after a few drinks. Considering all the other drunken antics he could be up to, Shia is still aces in my book.

All this article says is that he was out drinking, he went to the drug store, refused to leave, then got arrested. If there was more to it than that we would be hearing about it:

LaBeouf, a rising star who is in Chicago to film a movie, was at the Underground nightclub, 56 W. Illinois St., on Saturday night and left about 2 a.m. Sunday, said Maura Daley, a club spokeswoman.

She declined further comment, but added: “His unrelated incident is very unfortunate, and we wish Mr. LaBeouf all the best…”

The 21-year-old actor who starred in “Disturbia” and “Transformers” and is the star of the upcoming Indiana Jones sequel, was arrested about 2:25 a.m. in the Walgreens at 757 N. Michigan Ave., police said.

A security guard called police after LaBeouf refused to leave the 24-hour store, said Monique Bond, Chicago police spokeswoman. He was asked to leave several times, she said. The guard signed a complaint, and the actor was cited on a misdemeanor count of trespassing, police said.

“The report does not indicate that he was with a group. [It] appears that he was alone,” Bond said. “[There is] no indication of damaging property or interfering with other customers.”

LaBeouf, a California resident, was taken to the Near North police district and posted bail about 7 a.m., police said. His next court date is Nov. 28.

[From The Chicago Tribune via ONTD]

Maybe there was shoving or screaming, but even though this is a respected paper, I have to think they would have thrown that in there if it happened. The way this scenario plays out in my head is that Shia needs some contraceptives because he’s about to get lucky and is thwarted by an over-eager security guard. He says “no, I’m not going to leave” and stays in the store, being repeatedly harassed. The poor guy gets arrested and forfeits his evening hookup, but at least we all hear about it and he starts to achieve the level of fame that he deserves.

Isn’t that the cutest mug shot you’ve ever seen? Good job, Shia, now don’t go doing it again.
