Well, this was expected. A pose off! Cue Zoolander soundtrack. No, it’s fine. Here’s Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler at today’s Bounty Hunter premiere in London. She’s wearing some kind of gray-silver minidress with a black coat, he’s wearing a nice gray suit. They make a very attractive middle-aged couple. Since yesterday was a day for two big AnisBut posts (their W Magazine cover and Gerard talking about some bush-trimming), I’m just going to make up my own captions for these photos.

Gerard: Hey, Jennifer. Hey, Jenny, Jenny, Jen… pull my finger!
Jennifer: God, I wish you would shut up.

Jennifer: Is this movie going to bomb? Is it? F-ck.

Gerard: I should have brought Kaiser to this premiere. What’s that smell, by the way? Oh, it’s me.

Jennifer: Oh, God what is that? That’s disgusting Gerry. Settle down. Oh, no, can The Herpe be transferred through clothing?

Jennifer: I like to play with my hair. It’s my move. It’s my trademark. I’m going to call my perfume “Hairplay”. Get it?

This is Heidi Klum’s April Marie Claire cover. As fans of Project Runway know, Heidi is wearing a beautiful turquoise one-shoulder cocktail dress designed by one of the designers competing in this season’s PR. They actually made the cover outfit a challenge for the designers, and a dude named Anthony Williams won. I actually agreed with the judges’ decision that time around, and you can see why. This color and style just pops on the Marie Claire cover, and it feels very “fresh”. Plus, you know, it’s really hard for Heidi to take a bad photo. Well done!

Anyway, it doesn’t look like there are any significant interview excerpts. Williams, the designer, told the magazine: “Heidi’s pregnancy was happening right before our faces! he laughs. I thought, this woman is not sacrificing fashion at all. She is 100 percent full frontal ‘I am pregnant, I am fashion, and I am fierce.’ I was really inspired by that.” Here’s one short excerpt from Marie Claire:

Ask any woman to strip down for the camera five weeks post-childbirth, and she’ll laugh in your face. Ask Heidi Klum, and she’s totally game. At our cover shoot, the supermodel, mother of four, designer of two maternity lines, singer, host of Project Runway, and now virtual host of the series’ video game, joked that she might not fit into anything — then easily slipped into everything. The MC fashion team had one objective: Create strong, powerful looks worthy of the königin of all media. Minimal, architectural pieces in dark, sophisticated tones highlighted the woman who has it all — and does even more.

[From Marie Claire]

Nice. Something I’ve noticed about Heidi through watching all of the seasons of PR is that she’s gotten much more vocal and opinionated about fashion and everything else. I think she’s really come into her own throughout the series, and I hope PR continues for years to come.

Sidenote: I forgot to mention this in the Oscar fashion posts, but Chris March from Season 4 not only designed Meryl Streep’s Golden Globes dress, but her Oscar dress as well! Sigh… I love PR!

Because we were having technical difficulties for a few hours, I kind of missed reporting on Jessica Simpson’s appearance on Letterman last night. Sidenote: I hate her outfit. Anyway, I didn’t watch it, but I’ve read some of the coverage of it. Basically, Letterman got Jessica to talk about everything, from Tony Romo, to John Mayer, to… whatever. Here’s the video and some of quotes:

Why was Jessica Simpson most upset by John Mayer’s revealing Playboy interview (in which he called her “sexual napalm”)?

“He gave away my game!” the star, 29, tells David Letterman on the Late Show, airing Wednesday.

“Normally you would think that somebody you care about would keep those intimate details to themselves,” she says. “It was definitely compliment … in a way. But I don’t really want people to know that about me. It’s like, I’m the good girl and then that happens.”

Although she says she “was very disappointed by the article” and hasn’t talked to him since it was published, she does say she “will always care about him.”

The star of VH1’s new reality show The Price of Beauty also opens up about her ex Tony Romo, who she says is “still a dear friend of mine” even though they split after two years of dating this past July.

“We’re big Dallas Cowboys fans,” she says of the Texas-based Simpson clan. “I still look at his cute butt in the outfit — uniform!”

So, what went wrong?

“I don’t know,” she says. “You’d have to ask him that. He broke up with me on my birthday!”

[From Us Weekly]

Yeah. Meh. As much as I like Jessica, I do get tired of her sometimes, like when she’s promoting something. Although she’s a sweet girl, there’s such a lack of substance in her, it’s kind of disturbing. But whatever. I’m sure I’ll get over it.

Meanwhile, Jessica’s “special friend” Billy Corgan was talking about Jessica’s ex John Mayer. This came from Billy’s epic interview in Rolling Stone Magazine, which we had excerpts of last week. Us Weekly has published some of Billy’s quotes under the idea that he’s “slamming” Mayer. But that’s not actually what he’s doing. Corgan’s just kind of properly identifying John’s douchiness.

Corgan says: “[Mayer is] trying to destroy his career… Rather than take a year off or change his musical direction, some part of it is irritating his soul to the point where he’s trying to blow it up. Certainly a talented guy, but empathetically, standing on the sidelines, it’s hard to watch someone literally burn their career to the ground speaking as somebody who’s done it.” Regarding Mayer’s specific comments about Napalm McMotorboat, Corgan says: “I think for any person who has celebrity to sort of drop rocks at somebody else’s feet like that, there’s things you should really just keep your mouths shut on. There’s things that should just be left alone.” See? These quotes make me like Corgan more. He’s right - Mayer is being self-destructive, under the guise of douchey misogyny. Now, I think Mayer is also, at heart, a douchey misogynist. But the fact that he didn’t know how to hide it is self-destructive.

Finally, the full trailer for Eclipse is out! And it’s kind of meh. Needs more Sparkles, in my opinion. But it’s good, I guess. It leaves you hungry, wanting more. The Twihards will have a field day. This is also the first time we get to see Bryce Dallas Howard, who replaced Rachelle Lefevre as one of the bad vampires. And there’s lots of Jacob, who apparently, like, never wears a shirt. Here’s People’s summary, with a SPOILER at the top:

When fans last left Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) at the conclusion of New Moon, the dreamy vamp had popped the question to his stunned mortal beloved, leaving Twi-hards to wonder if she’d accept.

Well, the wait is over: The first trailer for Eclipse – the third film in The Twilight Saga – was officially unveiled Wednesday morning, providing a much-hungered-for first look at what’s in store for the supernatural couple. Plus, the clip gives viewers a first look at the new Rachel: Bryce Dallas Howard in a fierce set of red curls!

Eclipse is due to hit theaters June 30, but for fan-pires lusting for an immediate quench to their thirst, pick up New Moon on DVD March 20 or check out Pattinson’s latest film, Remember Me, in theaters Friday.

[From People Magazine]

LaineyGossip claimed that Twihards were going to be seeing Remember Me in droves, all to support Sparkles in every non-Cullen adventure. Which is the kind of epic, fanatical fan base most studios dream of. I can only imagine that this “meh” trailer will be watched obsessively about a bajillion times today. And tomorrow. And the next day…

I hate to say it, especially about such an ugly dress that I would never in a million years like or buy or want, but Jessica Biel looks really good here. The dress is so fug, it kind of works. At least, it works on Jessica. I have to give her props for having the confidence to pull off something so ugly. Of course, confidence isn’t Jessica’s problem. Or is it?

Life & Style got a script excerpt from Bad Teacher, the film that Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz have both signed on for. Camy plays “a recently dumped school teacher determined to score a date with Justin Timberlake’s character, Scott, a fellow teacher already in a relationship.” And it’s a romantic comedy. And they get have a “steamy” sex scene:

When you’re dating an actor, it’s always uncomfortable to watch him get cozy with an on-screen lover – especially when that lover is an ex! That’s exactly what Jessica Biel will have to deal with when she watches Justin Timberlake and his ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz onscreen — and in bed together! In the upcoming romantic comedy Bad Teacher, Cameron plays Elizabeth, a recently dumped school teacher determined to score a date with Justin Timberlake’s character, Scott, a fellow teacher already in a relationship.

Life & Style has exclusively obtained a copy of the movie’s script — and in it, things get awfully steamy. In one scene, the real-life exes are alone in a hotel room and begin, as Justin’s character puts it, “dry humping.” Justin winds up getting, well, way too excited way too soon — ending their make-out session prematurely. “That was a mistake,” he says, rolling off her. “That was fast,” she responds.

[From Life & Style]

Haha, I bet Justin and Cameron won’t even have to “act” that scene, they’ll just have to relive their old sex life. Rimshot! Beyond that, who really thinks Justin looks old enough to play a teacher? I could buy it if he was cast as the “student”. I kind of think it’s a step down for Camy, to star in a romantic comedy with JT, right? Hopefully, somebody will pull out of it. Maybe. Do you think that’s what Jessica hopes too?

As much as I think Jon “The Hamm” Hamm is an impossibly beautiful, old-school-style movie star/celebrity/god in the vein of George Clooney circa 2001, I have to admit, the comparisons between Clooney and The Hamm have begun to fall flat. The Hamm has never come across as smarmy, as George often has. Like, George is a gentleman up to a point, but he likes cheap women and he doesn’t seem to put a value on quality relationships with women. Plus, George has that cool, detached, ironic vibe, which The Hamm can do on film, but in interviews, he seems completely different. He’s authentic and sweet and genuine in a way Clooney has never managed.

My mom (who just started watching Mad Men when I gave her my DVDs) and I were talking about just how wonderful an actor The Hamm is - he acts with every pore of his body, his posture, his eyes, the twitch of his mouth. Clooney doesn’t. The Hamm has real relationships with women (one woman in particular, his girlfriend of like 7 years), and he seems to really strive to be not just a great actor, but a good man. Unlike Clooney. Anyway, I was just thinking about how much I liked The Hamm because he’s given a very nice, sweet interview to Parade. Here you go:

Jon Hamm rocketed to fame for his portrayal of the mysterious Don Draper on the critically acclaimed AMC drama Mad Men. The actor has also revealed a talent for comedy, getting major laughs as host of Saturday Night Live and guest star on Tina Fey’s 30 Rock. Now, Hamm is exploring his dark side in the mystery-thriller Stolen.

In the film, Hamm plays a detective trying to solve the mystery of his missing son. The 39-year-old actor admits that, despite playing such serious characters, he wants audiences to know he has a lighter side.

Going through every parent’s worst fear.
“It’s a nightmare. There is that horrible feeling of ‘What happened?’ What this man is going through is, ‘What happened to my son?’ And I hope the audience gets a sense of the urgency and the confusion and the obsession over finding the answer. This man had given his life up essentially to finding out what happened, to the detriment of the relationship with his wife and family and job.”

He never takes his work home with him.
“I don’t’ really have a problem with turning it off. When I’m at work, I’m at work. And when I’m not, I’m not. I had just finished the first season of Mad Men and there were plenty of dark moments in Don’s life, so that’s part of the job.”

Does playing a father on the big and small screen offer a glimpse into parenthood?
“The most insight into parenthood that I’ve ever gotten is watching all of my friends have kids. Playing a role is not remotely like living life. Everything is handled for you and everything is designed and you know how it’s going to happen. Real life is not quite like that as I’m finding with all of my friends who have children. I don’t know when I’ll be ready to have kids, but those are all things that I’m certainly taking into account.”

Will he go for laughs on the big screen?
“I have to wait for people to ask me. I hope so. I’m a big fan of comedy and have been for a long time. I know a lot of people in that world. Ideally, that would be a fun thing to do but it’s not really up to me.”

Finding comedy more of a challenge.
“I think comedy is a tremendous challenge. The alchemy that happens when somebody walks into a room and proceeds to make everybody laugh is mystifying to me. I don’t think I have that gene, but I know a lot of people who do, and I’m consistently amazed by the confidence and skill that it takes to constantly do that. Something that terrifies me is trying to be funny.”

Poking fun at Don Draper on SNL.
“It’s a very serious story and those kinds of stories are, by nature, easy to make fun of. It’s fun to mess around with it. I do think it’s obviously an amazing role and I’m very proud of our show and I’m very proud of the response it’s gotten from the people who enjoy it. I’m not taking anything away from it by making fun of it. But everyone deserves a little good-natured ribbing.”

The biggest misconception about him.
“I think people think that I’m a lot like Don, a dark, brooding kind of person. But the people who know me know that’s definitely not the case!”

What to expect next season on Mad Men.
“I wish I knew! If you hear anything let me know. Matt plays those things very close to the vest. He’s still writing the season so I honestly don’t know. But we certainly have a lot of opportunities to expand the story given where we ended last season, so I’m looking forward to it as much as you are I hope.”

What is it about Don Draper that makes audiences root for him?
“It’s a good question because, on the page, sometimes you think, ‘Why are we rooting for this guy? He’s kind of a douchebag.’ But really he’s just misunderstood. I think what people respond to in Don is that there is a moral center in there and he does have a certain code of ethics that he follows. He’s a rugged individualist in many ways, but he does try to do the right thing. He doesn’t always succeed, but he tries. I think most Americans can identify with some portion of that. I think that’s what resonates.”

[From Parade]

I love Don Draper because he’s one of the most complicated characters on television, or in pop culture today. Seriously, the writing is just beautiful on that show, and all of the characters are so complex and fascinating. But back to The Hamm - he is a gifted comedian, and I would love to see him in a really talky romantic comedy. Something with a really good actress, someone worthy of The Hamm. Would it be too much to hope that he works with Tina Fey again?

We’re sorry about the technical problems! Hopefully we’re fine now!

Note by CB: The server was having issues, but our hosts assure us that everything is ok now. (knock wood) We’re so sorry for that!

Here’s Sarah Jessica Parker looking SO MUCH better than she did at the Oscars. Honestly, I do like SJP’s style, but she’s so much better in business-cocktail-wear than evening wear. Look at how pretty and fresh she looks! And compare that to her Wrath of God appearance at the Oscars (photo below). Anyway, here is SJP going solo last night at a bash for… wait for it… Bravo’s “Real Houswives”. Honestly, I think the party was for Bravo programming in general, but there were a lot of ‘Housewives’ there, and SJP should be totally above that sh-t. Is she trying to sell something to Bravo? Like, a television show or something? Why the downmarket appearance?

And why was she alone?!? Oh right, because Matthew Broderick rarely makes public appearances with his wife, and when he does, he looks totally uninterested in each other. Like at the Oscars. There’s some interesting gossip about them at the Oscars, actually. In Touch Weekly reported that “Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick were barely speaking at the Oscars, used separate dressing rooms and arrived and left separately.” Oh, that a good one, gossip-wise, isn’t it? And it goes along with a blind item I read yesterday:

There was a well-known entertainment pair at the Academy Awards who sat together, occasionally holding and laughing together. What a nice couple! Not. They actually can’t stand each other and haven’t lived together in months. However, as one of Hollywood’s perceived stable couples, they are not yet ready to explain to the world that their long-time (by Hollywood standards) relationship is over. Certainly not in such a public setting. And if one of them had showed up solo, or with another escort, it would have brought up too many questions. So it was easier just to go together, pretend that everything’s great, and to go their separate ways after the big event… each to a new boyfriend.

[From Blind Gossip via ICYDK]

It could be them. My initial thought was “Melanie Griffith and Antonia Banderas” but I think SJP and Broderick might be a better fit. We’ll see.

Lastly, SJP and her Sex and the City girls are going to be honored at this year’s Showest with the “Best Ensemble” award. That’s right, at some point this year (I don’t feel like looking it up) we’re going to be inundated with SATC crap for the sequel film. New stills were just released, and Agent Bedhead has them, in all of their sketchy hilarity. Agent Bedhead theorized, “I gotta wonder whether the makeup artist really didn’t like Sarah Jessica Parker all that much because she’s resembling a cadaver.” Bedhead, try this word on for size- “Corpsey”. And I totally agree.

I “forgot” to mention yesterday that Kendra Wilkinson is this week’s Us Weekly cover girl, and that the article is all about her “confessions”. So what is Kendra confessing? Not much. I mean, we pretty much know everything, right? We know that she loves her baby and that she hates what pregnancy did to her body and that she misses sex and that her breastfeeding boobs are so big she wants her implants out or something. However, there is some new information in here. I guess. She says that she “went through some depression” after she gave birth, et cetera:

Even former Playboy bunnies get the blues.

Kendra Baskett admits in the new issue of Us Weekly that she struggled to accept her new body weeks after the Dec. 11 birth of Hank IV, her son with husband Hank Baskett.

“I had my friends over, and it was bad timing,” Kendra, 24, tells Us. “They were really hot and had really nice bodies,” she says of her visitors, which included former Girls Next Door costar Holly Madison and Playboy model Tiffany Fallon.

“I was just hoping Hank didn’t look at them! Having a different body was such a culture shock. I’m so used to being hot and fit.” Although “it wasn’t that extreme,” the reality star says, “I did go through some depression.”

The one-time centerfold adds that her body confidence remains shaky. “I love my legs, and I love my butt, but everything else I hate.”

Everything including her breasts, she says, which “went from a 34C to an E.”

“Now that they’re going down, they’re a little bigger than I want,” she says. “I want to even out my body a little.”

To read more from our exclusive Kendra interview — her plastic surgery plans, how she rebooted her sex life and her diet/fitness habits, plus a sit-down with Kendra’s husband Hank — pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands today!

[From Us Weekly]

What’s interesting is that Us Weekly didn’t put Kendra’s other quotes online. I had to look them up on Jezebel. Kendra was asked about her sex life with Hank, and she replies: “Let’s just say that once you have a baby, everything stops working. Your feelings and your nerves just stop because of giving birth. You have to exercise and get massages to help the blood flow back to certain places so you can feel good again.” You know what? “Kendra can’t have an orgasm” is a much bigger story than “I love my legs, and I love my butt, but everything else I hate.” Just sayin’.

Here are a few photos of Kendra at OK Magazine’s Oscar party. She should not be wearing that dress. Or that hair.
