Conspiracy Theories with Pitt and Jolie in 2011 Golden Globes

The celebrity guestlist for 2011 Golden Globes Awards also included power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, a fact that was made beyond obvious with repeated cuts to their table throughout the night. With producers making it such a point of showing off the two to boost ratings, an older topic is back on the table and up for discussion, especially with celebrity bloggers: Jolie’s Golden Globes nomination for “The Tourist.”

Ever since the nominations were announced and the critically panned and commercial flop “The Tourist” was included, talk had it that Jolie’s nod came only as a sure way for producers to have her at the ceremony and thus boost ratings. The repeated cuts to her and Pitt would seem to confirm that, this blogger believes. It was as if producers were like constantly reminding viewers that Jolie and Pitt were in the house.

Further confirmation that Jolie was nominated precisely so that she showed up is to be found in the fact that she lost. And so did Johnny Depp. Another conspiracy theory about Pitt and Jolie has to do with their absence from the table sometime in the middle of the awards ceremony, which has prompted speculation that they’d gone to the bathroom for “a quickie”.

“The funniest moment? Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt got busted sneaking back into the room. They were flamboyantly entwined all night, with Angie suggestively adjusting Brad’s bowtie at one point right before a commercial break. Then the camera caught them slipping back to their table together, walk-of-shame-style, after a mysterious absence — perhaps to ‘adjust the bowtie.’ A few moments later, she was conspicuously re-applying her lip gloss. Subtle! No doubt it was totally innocent, right? ,” the mag writes.

Prince William, Kate Middleton Confirm 2011 wedding

Subsequently after dating on and off for about 8 years, Prince William and Kate Middleton have finally decided to take that big leap of faith: the Royal Family has confirmed they’re engaged and will wed in the summer of 2011. This is definitely the kind of news that Brits have been waiting for years, since many truly believed William and Kate were made for one another, despite the fact that they didn’t see it that way themselves many a time.

Though a more specific date for the wedding has not been announced, the official statement says it will take place in 2011 and will most probably be the biggest event since the wedding of the late Princess Diana, William’s mother. “The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton,” the statement from the Royal Family reads, as cited by People magazine.

“Prince William and Miss Middleton became engaged in October during a private holiday in Kenya. Prince William has informed The Queen and other close members of his family. Prince William has also sought the permission of Miss Middleton’s father. After the wedding, “the couple will live in north Wales, where Prince William will continue to serve with the Royal Air Force,” the statement says. [Read more...]

Is Kat Von D Overdoing Botox?

From the time when celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D stepped out with her new man, Sandra Bullock’s ex-husband, Jesse James, all eyes have been on her. And they noticed more than her off-the-wall personal style. There’s no denying that Kat has undergone a drastic transformation from how she looked when she first broke into the spotlight, and it’s not all down to the weight loss, either.

As Make Me Heal notes, Kat has had quite a few interventions, specifically to her face and chest, getting the bridge and tip of her nose slimmed down, and her breasts up a few cup sizes. Still, she doesn’t seem to be stopping here either, even though she doesn’t look like she’s had more surgical work done. In other words, says the aforementioned e-zine, Kat is looking very tight and plump in the face, which could only mean she’s had Botox and / or other fillers to look her best for the red carpet.

“However Kat is way to young to have undergone such a dramatic procedure as a facelift, and it is more likely that she regularly receives Botox injections as well as dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane to get her flawless, doll-like complexion,” the e-zine notes. [Read more...]

Demi Moore & Ashton Kutcher Go On Master Cleanse

Despite the fact that nutritionists constantly warn of the dangers of detox diets, especially the Master Cleanse, of which they say it’s no more than a fancy way of starving oneself, they continue to have plenty of followers. Celebrities are the most fervent believers in the benefits of this type of “diets,” and some are even proudly tooting their own horn for sticking with it. Such is the case of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Us Magazine informs.

“The couple that deprives themselves together…? Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have gone on the super-strict Master Cleanse together, they announced on Twitter. The eating plan – which Beyonce also used to slim down for Dreamgirls – features ‘meals’ that consist of maple syrup, lemon water and cayenne pepper. Moore, 47, swears she’s not doing it to lose weight. ‘This is about health!!!’ she Twittered on Sunday,” Us Magazine writes.

“She added shortly after, ‘2nd day of master cleanse and off to hike with hubby and the dogs. 2nd day better than the 1st!’ Still, she may not make it much longer. ‘Let you know if I make it to day 4,’ she told one of her followers. Kutcher, 32, is having an even harder time. ‘9 hrs into the master cleanse. I want a steak, a beer, and a blow-pop. Hmmm this is gonna be rough,’ he wrote Saturday,” the same publication further writes, citing the stars themselves.

Lindsay Lohan’s $1 Million Interview

At the same time as Lindsay Lohan is reportedly considering an appeal to the 90-day jail sentence she was slapped with the other day, ongoing reports suggest that this may actually be the best thing that has happened to her career in years. For the first interview after she does the time, she could net a cool $1 million – and given she’s been having trouble lately scoring work, this is no small feat, PopEater reports.

“You can bet Lindsay Lohan will have plenty to say when she’s sprung from the joint later this summer, but if you want her for a TV interview you’d better have deep pockets! Sources tell me that deals are already in the works to secure Lindsay’s first post-jailhouse chat for a whopping $1 million. You heard right, a cool mil! ‘Financially, it’s the best thing that could have ever happened to Lindsay,’ a magazine insider tells me. ‘It’s no secret that Lindsay has been in financial trouble for a while. She will earn more money from her post-prison interview than she ever earned acting.’ Lindsay is not the first celebrity to turn her troubles into a cash cow,” PopEater writes.

“Paid interviews, while routine in Europe, are still taboo here in the USA. The way major networks get around this is by engaging in ‘licensing’ deals that provide compensation for the rights to personal material, most often video footage or photos. Sources tell me that this is exactly the type of arrangement Lindsay is looking for. ‘Expect to see a major TV and magazine deal,’ a source close to Lindsay tells me. ‘Lindsay might have made a lot of mistakes, but she knows how much her first interview is worth. She won’t even consider offers of less than $1 million’,” the same e-zine says.
