First Glimpse Of Leonardo DiCaprio In Action As J. Edgar Hoover

Posted on September 20, 2011 by Ambika Muttoo

We’ve been looking at the photographs for months. We’ve heard Armie Hammer talking about that smooch. Now, we finally get to see what all the fuss is about! The trailer for J. Edgar has been released and Leonardo DiCaprio in the titular role screams Oscar! The biopic, set mid-century, explores the life of the former head of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover. Directed by Clint Eastwood, the film also looks at Hoover’s life behind closed doors and addresses his alleged homosexuality among other matters. By the looks of it, the movie’s attention to detail looks pretty impressive. Anything with Dame Judi Dench has our vote of support as well. Watch the trailer and let us know what your thoughts are?

George Clooney Gets MARRIED … In A Norwegian Commercial

Posted on September 20, 2011 by Ambika Muttoo

Who knew the Scandinavians had such a sense of humor. Their sense of aesthetic, on the other hand, is spot on. They got George Clooney to star in a commercial for Norwegian bank DNB NOR and we couldn’t stop cracking up while watching! It’s a whole spoof on George’s notorious bachelorhood and his well-publicized aversion to marriage. In the ad, we see a pretty hungover looking bride looking completely bewildered as to what exactly went down the night before. She looks down at the huge sparkler on her ring finger and just as she starts putting two and two together — her new husband, George, walks in.

Now if any of us got married drunk to a stranger (hello, Vegas), the scenario would be a little different. But her new husband happens to be the Silver Fox — who purrs, “I like your dress. It looks better off than on”. The commercial ends with “Some people are lucky in life. For the rest of us, saving up can be smart”. Watch the ad! It’s worth your time!

Charlie Sheen’s Already Won With His Two And A Half Men Settlement

Posted on September 20, 2011 by Ambika Muttoo

Chuck Lorre‘s vision of Charlie Sheen‘s death scene on Two And A Half Men may have given him some modicum of vengeance, but he’s definitely not getting the last laugh. With the settlement Charlie is getting from Warner Bros post getting kicked off the show, he’s not winning anymore — he’s already won.

The company is going to be coughing up $25 million to hand over to him in the next two weeks, as that’s what they owe him for his work. But check this out. Considering Charlie did just under 200 episodes for the show, the syndication profits to be given to him over the nest 7-10 years add up to $100 MILLION. Which means we’re going to hear him laughing all the way to the bank for the next decade. Chuck Lorre should invest in some earplugs right about now.

What Cheryl Cole’s Beehive Could Make Her Morph Into

Posted on September 20, 2011 by Ambika Muttoo

It starts off perfectly innocuous, this whole beehive business. And then suddenly, there just isn’t enough bouffant. They want more … MORE. Erm, sorry, guys. It’s only because Cheryl Cole‘s hair at the Stylist Picks launch party in London yesterday had us hallucinating. She has such an angelic face, but we promise you, that ‘do can get the better of anyone. That towering block of hair can only be a statement. Just ask Syndrome for The Incredibles. He went from jilted wannabe sidekick to — that. All with one flick of a stylist’s wrist and a hell of a lot of spandex. The latter of which the ex Girls Aloud singer already has plenty of in her wardrobe. Cheryl Cole, you stay away from the dark side, you hear? Seriously, she’s one backcomb away from supervillian status.

The 2011 Emmy Worst Dressed List: And The Award For Hottest Mess Goes To…

Posted on September 19, 2011 by Halle Kiefer

While the 2011 Emmy Best Dressed list might contain some undeniably gorgeous ensembles, the Emmy Worst Dressed List is equally long and illustrious. From Gwyneth Paltrow‘s midriff-baring goth prom dress to Paz de la Huerta‘s lavender lip gloss and runaway weave to James Woods‘ apparent Botox overdose, the stars were getting hot and sloppy at the 63rd Annual Emmy Awards. The question, of course, is: who was the hottest and the sloppiest?

“Along with his divine powers to pop and subsequently lock, the Maple Messiah shall posses, uh.. the ability to communicate with whales. Like Aquaman! Yes, Aquaman, and, okay, we’re just making shit up like that other Bible.” Book of Bieber, Chapter 4, Verse My Moms Says We Can Hold Hands, Girl.

Welcome to Friday’s The Crap We Missed that I’m literally hurling up while running out the door, but not before softly, gently inserting dear, sweet Kelly Brook in her preferred non-horribly Photoshopped state.

See you tomorrow with Most Important People,

Kieran Culkin Took Scarlett Johansson To A Strip Club

Scarlett Johansson Kieran Culkin Strip Club

There are two things the Culkin boys need to survive: Sex clubs and women completely out of their league. So, of course, here’s Scarlett Johansson posing with the Crazy Horse dancers in Paris on Wednesday after Kieran Culkin took her there on a date. – Oh, yeah, that’s happening now. – And in his defense, it’s kind of a sweet gesture on his part because it shows he took the time to find out her interests instead of just dragging her along to stuff he likes. “So I hear you like naked stuff. Well, then… ♫ Come with me.. and you’ll be.. in a world of pure imagination… ♫”

(Tell me I’m not the only person who sings that song every time they walk into a nudie bar.)

Kim Kardashian Dressed Like Slave Leia For Kanye

Kim Kardashian Slave Leia Bikini Kanye West Puppet Show Alligator Boots

Apparently Kanye West tried to pitch a Muppet comedy show called Alligator Boots to Comedy Central and talked Kim Kardashian into appearing in the pilot wearing Princess Leia’s bikini from Return of the Jedi. And before anyone thinks this was a pimp move on his part, it was literally as easy as saying: “I’m a black guy, and there’s a camera in the room.” So basically the most natural and effortless thing anyone at Jim Henson Studios had ever seen in their lives. When reached for comment, they were quoted as saying, “God, we’re whores, such dirty, dirty whores. How can we ever look those children in the eyes again?”

WARNING: Video contains Muppet penis. No, really.

UPDATE: And Viacom yanked it already. Of course.

Here’s Vanessa Hudgens vacationing in Maui yesterday where she delicately held the line between doughy and an acceptable amount of padding on an attractive woman. Or, “Damn! She pregnant,” as LeAnn Rimes just told me to put it.
