Olivia Wilde on a ‘long’ engagement: ‘It’s this great time. It’s like dating-plus’

Olivia Wilde

These are photos of Olivia Wilde yesterday in Los Angeles. As you can see, she is sporting a plain sweatshirt, chewed-up jeans, and what looks like a makeup-free face. How does she still look so good? It’s not fair.

Poor Olivia though. She’s just been a part of yet another box-office dud after Rush underperformed last weekend. I think Kaiser was correct about Chris Hemsworth skating blame-free, but I think Olivia will have a harder time in the aftermath. Sure she wasn’t a main player in the film, but she did a ton of promotion, and it didn’t help. Pajiba put together a damning list of all her flops, and it isn’t pretty.

All is not lost yet. Olivia still has some films in the chute. She’s also starting to focus on her wedding.

Olivia and Jason plan to marry sometime next year in upstate New York. She plans to wear Monique Lhuillier. (Honestly, I’m surprised she’s not going to wear Marchesa.)

Olivia talks a little bit about her wedding in a new video interview with Vanity Fair. She admits to being a bit obsessed with the Starmeter feature on IMDb. She wants to direct. Then she says people shouldn’t spend their entire engagement planning a wedding: “It’s fun. It’s this great time. It’s like dating-plus.” Let’s go:

While Livvy and Jason will have only been engaged a year or two by the time they wed, she sounds like she’s in no big hurry, right? I agree that rushing from engagement straight into marriage is a waste of a good time. An engagement is such a wonderful, heady time where neither party has had a chance to break the other one’s spirit just yet. I know — I’m such a romantic.

It must have been odd at first for Jason to go into this relationship knowing that Olivia had once been married to a prince. Let alone one who murdered her vagina. No, I’m never letting that remark go.

Here’s some photos of Olivia and Jason househunting in Los Angeles last month.

    She looks better without makeup. God I hope she’s wearing at least some foundation because that aint normal

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      I’ve always said this about her-better without makeup.

      She’s really beautiful. Annoying, but gorgeous.

    • T.C. says:

      She does look better makeup free. That comedian is a lucky guy.

    • Liv says:

      These are the first pictures in which I find her really beautiful. I just can’t with her most of the time and I don’t find her beautiful most of the time. But she really is in these pics.

  2. Anna says:

    I think RUSH is already close to covering its $38 mil budget. It’s at $12 mil US and $13 mil international, except international numbers havent been updated to include the last two weekend/many new markets.

    • Sixer says:

      I agree, Anna. More than 50% of the average film’s box office is from international markets these days and US commentators (sorry, Bedhead!) should really start paying attention to overall figures before labelling a film a box-office dud. This film, in particular, has international appeal. It will probably edge towards 75% international revenue eventually and it’s almost certain to make a good return on its budget.

      • lisa2 says:

        You are right the movie is doing amazing numbers overseas. I haven’t seen it.

        I have been saying this for a long time an it seems some are finally getting it to. Domestic numbers are not the be all of a films success. Here in the US everyone talks about opening weekend. If a film is not #1 of post big numbers everyone here screams it is a failure. Thing is some films open big and drop. other’s open moderately and have legs.

        The US is not the world. And International numbers count for more these days. At the end of the day this will be a hit

    Stunning without makeup. Somehow make-up seems to age her or make her look “hard”. I don’t get it.

    • Tessa says:

      I see makeup. Just not red carpet or camera makeup. She’s probably wearing the amount the rest of us wear on a normal day, but by Hollywood standards that’s makeup free.

  4. Tessa says:

    I think she lies about her age. Every time I see her I think, “29 my ass!” She looks 35, at least. The other option is she’s chain smoked since she was 14.

    • TG says:

      I agree she looks older I think it is because she has a very hard and sharp face.

    • Cazzee says:

      Yeah, I was thinking the same thing – she looks 40 in that yellow dress.

      Compare that photo with the ones of Cate Blanchett, who is 15 years older than Olivia Wilde. Cate Blanchett looks younger!

  5. Greata says:

    Go away! I am so tired of this woman, and her fiance.

    • Tallulah says:

      + 1 They are both so tiresome. Too much promo and too many magazine covers for their relative small careers. I swear olivia has more magazine covers than Jennifer Lawrence. She is like Blake Lively 2.0.

  6. blue marie says:

    This will come across as bitchy, and it’s not because I don’t like her, but I don’t think she’s a great actress. She’s interchangeable to me. I really liked her on House but since she moved to movies I’ve yet to find a role I liked her in.

    As for the long engagement, I agree with her. I’ve been engaged since December and am in no rush to actually tie the knot, I have planned nothing.

  7. Erinn says:

    I like them. We’ll have been engaged a year this November and our wedding isn’t until mid August. All we’ve done so far is pick our wedding party, the colors, book the church and book the venue. I’m not wasting my time planning every single detail ahead of time.

    I know a couple who got engaged after us, and will be married a few months before. She was engaged already. One of my friends knows her family and asked how the planning was going. She told her it was already all planned. She’s essentially just subbing in her new fiance for the old one. I’m not sure how I feel about that. It’s kind of awkward.

    And on ANOTHER crazy note, fiances sister has a friend who is going to be 20 maybe? Her fiance is 26. They are having a ninja turtles themed wedding. I laughed my ass off so hard because she’s soooo immature to begin with.

    • GreenEyes says:

      I’m sorry… I did literally LOL when I see TMNT themed wedding. To each his own, but I would be looking for a ‘ ‘Birthday Party’.. ‘Not a Wedding Party’ thanks for that image since I have a rough day ahead that should bring me some visuals to make me giggle thru it;).

      • Erinn says:

        Haha, glad I could help. I found out a few months ago, and still find it incredibly hilarious. I feel like if you’re planning your wedding around your favorite cartoon you maybe shouldn’t be getting married.

        Honest to God, she wants her maids dresses 4 different colors – the TMNT colors. She also wants wedding photography of them perched on some sort of roof.

        And here I am just wanting a pretty cake. Clearly I’m under planning.

        Hope your day goes smoother than expected 🙂

    • Lauren says:

      I LOL’d at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle wedding theme. I went as a plus one to my sisters friends wedding 2 years ago and the theme of their reception was Mario. So they were playing the really old Super Mario Brothers theme and all the older family members / the parents of the bride and groom did not look too pleased haha. But I guess super Nintendo was the couples thing haha as they did their wedding reception entry to that theme and everything.

      • Erinn says:

        Maybe I should try and theme around that haha. My poor grandmother would die if I did. But Der is a plumber who loves his video games – clearly it’s meant to be!

    • lucy2 says:

      That is hilarious. In general I think 20 is too young to get married in this day and age, but the TMNT theme really kind of proves that point!

      • Erinn says:

        I agree. I mean, I’m only 23 – I’ll be 24 when I get married, and I KNOW I’d have been way too immature at 20 to get married. You grow so much in your 20s.

        This is also her second engagement. She was going to be married at 18 prior to this. Turned out the guy she was marrying (who we all knew was gay, and couldn’t understand how she didn’t know) was also a pedophile and working at a kids camp, and taking early childhood education. Classy, eh? Granted that’s not her fault, but she’s really not a mature, or bright 20.

  8. Barrett says:

    I think this when I see her, is Jason S. January Jones baby daddy? Since Xander has grown his dark eyes and ears remind me of Jason. It’s like I don’t want to see it but I do. I could be wrong but I always think about it and wonder what Olivia knows…

    • Stef Leppard says:

      I still think it’s Matthew Vaughn, hence all the secrecy. If it were Jason he probably would be involved in the kid’s life.

      • Tessa says:

        As he gets older, he’s starting to look like a little mini Jason. I’m almost to the point where I’d bet money the kid in Jason’s. I have NO IDEA why January and Jason didn’t just cop to that from the get go, because there would have been no scandal in it, they were dating… but who knows. Maybe there’s bad blood and she wants to raise the kid on her own.

      • Stef Leppard says:

        Even if she wants to raise the kid on her own, if the dad wanted to be involved, legally she couldn’t stop him. Look at Padma Lakshmi’s situation. She even had to change her kid’s last name! So maybe it’s Jason and he doesn’t want to be involved, but that seems strange to me. Why wouldn’t he want to recognize his child?

  9. KLO says:

    I love this woman. I can not help it.

  10. Andrea says:

    She’s a very pretty woman but I just don’t think she’s an engaging actress. I don’t think she has any real range.

  11. Leah says:

    She is pretty especially in candids were she is not too much made up. But she is a thoroughly underwhelming actress and i think she gets too much publicity in relation to what she has achieved in her career.

    • lucy2 says:

      Completely agree. The press treats her like an A list leading lady, and really she’s done supporting roles in mediocre films.
      She is much prettier without makeup, IMO.

      Rush has gotten very good reviews, but I found the ads for it off-putting.

  12. Alice says:

    I agree with everyone saying she is pretty but i also agree that she is not much of an actress and its weird how much publicity she gets.

  13. Mingy says:

    i saw her on ‘the view’ the other day, she made my eyes roll out of their sockets..she’s pretty though.

  14. Lauren says:

    Ladies, don’t feel so bad about yourselves! I doubt she is makeup-free. She has bad skin; I think she’s likely wearing a foundation or tinted something-or-other.

  15. Brooke says:

    It’s like dating-plus, until the vagina dies. . .
