Edward Norton Gossip
Brad has been a fan of Radiohead for a long, long time. Remember at the wedding? He arranged for Radiohead to be playing while fireworks lit up the sky. I remember thinking at the time, much as I love Radiohead too, that it’s not exactly celebratory music. Like can you imagine your guests getting down to Paranoid Android? Perhaps it was a bad omen even then. Full Story
The premiere was last night… here are the two stars of the film on the green carpet – Ed looking hotter than he has since Salma Hayek and Liv bright in blue is total gorgessity. But… because she’s wearing a baggy dress, no doubt the dreaded dumb bumpwatch will begin anew. In Hollywood, you are not allowed to wear anything less than skintight without being accused of being pregnant. Full Story
There’s a loose rumour floating around that Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman are getting it on. Or were getting it on. Scott Speedman is sexy as hell. True or not, Liv does not appear to be suffering after her split. Far from it. Liv in pink looked fresh and healthy. Healthy is key. Healthy would be a relief. Full Story
Earth Day is tomorrow and yesterday in Washington, at a rally at the National Mall, Edward Norton delivered a speech about going green looking hotter than he has in a long time. Yum. Green seems to be his favourite colour these days. Ed wrote the screenplay for and starred in the upcoming Incredible Hulk movie due out this summer and word is he’s been a major pain in the ass with rewrites and edits, so much so that Marvel allegedly is starting to leak that he’s a difficult diva perfectionist who thinks his own vision is superior to the director’s. Full Story
Quite a year… seems like EVERYONE showed up. Too many names to name but the Hot factor was on full tilt. Let’s start with Clive, shall we? Clive promoting his new film Shoot ‘Em Shot – shot in Toronto. Take a good hard look at that shot of him biting his lip and don’t tell me your loins aren’t quivering. Full Story
Again, I’m sure Eric Bana will do an adequate, even a fine job, in the film adaptation of The Time Traveler’s Wife. But like so many of you who feel so strongly about the book, Eric just isn’t quite my Henry DeTamble in the mind’s eye. Not exactly original but for me, there are only 2: Edward Norton or Christian Bale. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
I.Love.London.
LOVE IT!!!
For a pathetic 33 year old pretending she's 25, London is Utopia. Will be here for a while, on assignment for eTalk, covering a few exciting events. More details to come.
Am dead tired, please excuse typos. Somehow managed not to sleep a wink on plane. Ended up watching The Painted Veil instead. Now considering putting Edward Norton back on Freebie Five. Quiveration in the sky. Was torture.
So apparently my beloved Rocky is in a bit of a spot. Something about his wife allegedly being given preferential treatment from a traffic violation and let go without incident.
But isn't there something so delicious about one hypocrite bringing down another hypocrite?
Only in LA.
And only fitting I suppose. That Hollywood Ebola met her match in someone equally conniving only much more intelligent who most definitely knows that I comes before E except after C.
It's RECEIVING you idiot! Not RECIEVING!!!
Thursday, will post between naps and Pimms and perhaps a trip to TopShop.
Yours in gossip,

Some stories are better left alone… though I suppose if it has to be, The Time Traveler’s Wife is off to a good start. Casting is finally complete. Rachel McAdams had long been primed for Clare and Eric Bana is now confirmed to play Henry, the Time Traveler who leaves behind his wife. Film rights to the book were acquired a few years ago by Brad Pitt’s Plan B. Full Story
I suppose I can understand the decision on the part of Marvel Studios – Edward Norton plays dark and conflicted and morose and depressed better than almost anyone else. And what better adjectives to describe The Hulk? But according to early reports, the sequel to Ang Lee’s 2003 box office disaster will be “less serious” with a much more comic-book feel… like smash, wham, bam, no relevant dialogue, just visual hypnosis. Full Story
Yes yes yes. I suffered through Miami Vice. And I suffered through it because even with the oil, even with the greasy hair and the cheesy dialogue and the ridiculous plot and Gong Li’s unintelligible delivery, even though he looked like shit, Colin Farrell is a sexy beast. And yes, it probably does have something to do with the fact that I’ve seen his sex tape…which, if you can get your hands on, is well worth it. Full Story
Many of you took one look at her massive breasts last week and pronounced her pregnant. And indeed she is!
Freshly confirmed through her publicist, his name is Francois-Henri Pinault – a very wealthy businessman but um…well… see for yourself. Not exactly what you were expecting non? Not exactly Andre Balasz or even Arki Busson either though I can certainly understand the appeal between the Hollywood starlet and private enterprise: security on one hand, trophy on the other?
Sorry…I’m a cynical bitch today. Full Story
Amid other more high profile projects with major studio backing and loud ass campaigning, The Painted Veil starring Naomi Watts and Edward Norton has been almost largely ignored. And it’s a shame. Because if the film stays true to Somerset Maugham, it should not disappoint. And given that these two actors don’t normally stray too far from excellent, the lofty expectations are certainly well deserved. Full Story
SITE UPDATE - FIXED!
*********
Dear Gossips,
Not Matt, not McDreamy (thank Goddess) but George. For the 2nd time in a row, George Clooney has been named the Sexiest Man Alive. And to quote Gay Wentie Miller – Brava, People. Brava indeed.
As for Nicole Richie – it’s not often that I believe celebrities but in this case I do. If not for anything else than the timeline. She was photographed one day before the treatment announcement and one day after the treatment announcement, sneaking off to party in LA and, truth be told, every day since – before and after gaining back “ten pounds”. Doesn’t work with the 4 day gastric bypass reversal and certainly doesn’t allow for adequate convalescence either.
Conspiracy theorists will likely disagree but seriously...she ain't the only candidate in Hollywood that fits the blind item description, non?
Wednesday – real time blogging, hit the site often for new posts.
Yours in gossip,
Lainey
PS. The Freebie 5 remains unfixed after site updates from the weekend and I’m too stupid to remember how to change it. Patience – I’ll figure it out. But in case you don’t recall – Zizou is gone, as are Norton and Farrell, replaced by George, Leo, and Borat.
I have mixed feelings about Colin’s return to sexy. Positive because…well… look at him. He’s de-greased, de-oiled, and no longer bloated. What’s not to love? Besides, now that the current Colin and the sex tape Colin are much more in tune, it’s hard to ignore those visual memories, especially the delicious way he leans to one angle. Full Story
Enough with Wentworth Miller and a hand-out for the gays. With Becks, Zizou, and hot Harry on a horse – something tells me the homos ain’t complaining. Besides, as gorgeous as he is on the outside, there is nothing sparking my loins about Wentie on the inside. I mean seriously, honey…can you at least grow a beard???
So anyway, it’s time to shake things up on the list, to honour someone who deserves it, someone who’s been undercover for much much too long – someone primed for a comeback and pray Goddess it’ll be this year. Full Story
OK. I get it. There are a LOT of you who totally disagreed with me the other day when I said that Salma's breasts were all hers. So rather than answering all of your emails individually, I thought I'd defend my position here. Yes, I have seen the photos on awfulplasticsurgery.com that depict a somewhat smaller Salma in relation to the bigger one in the pink dress. Full Story
Perennial bachelor Edward Norton has a new young hot thing on his arm. I don't who she is or what she does but really...does it matter? Here they are in Malibu over the long weekend enjoying a leisurely stroll along the beach. The good news is, after nearly 2 years of squabbling with Paramount, Ed is finally working a full film slate. Full Story
I love Edward Norton. Sure, he's an asshole. No secret. And he's a womanising scumbag too. But still...I love him. I love him because he is a fantastic actor. And it seems like it has been forever since he's done a movie. I mean a real movie. Kingdom of Heaven doesn't count. So here he is in Cannes promoting his latest little indie project Down in the Valley. Full Story
The rumour mill isn't buzzing just yet, but over the weekend Jamie Foxx and Salma Hayek partied hard together in Miami...and were seen driving off in the same car, with an assistant present of course, at the end of the night. Whatever it was, I highly doubt it will last. A smart dude like Jamie is going to parlay his Oscar win in to as much p*ssy as possible. Full Story
Calling all ladies and gays...it's blurry, but it'll do. Two fine gentlemen hangin' out in Hollywood this weekend, evoking fond memories of the hotness that was Fight Club. What the hell is going on with Ed Norton anyway? It's been like 2 years since his last film. And it's been like 2 years since his last relationship. Full Story
