Source: Entertainment - Google News | 16 Jul 2010 | 4:04 pm George Clooney to Italian Court: ‘I Don’t Wear Long Jean Shorts’ Sexy 49-year-old movie stars with lakeside mansions don't go to court in Italy every day to testify against people who make fake clothing lines bearing their name. So those present today in the Milan courtroom where George Clooney delivered a 90-minute testimony — which the judge noted "lasted as long as a movie" — seemed to really enjoy the experience. Clooney was testifying against the people who claimed two years ago that Clooney was launching his own clothing line called "GC Exclusive." To testify, the actor was forced to push through a throng of fans to access the courtroom, charming them by saying "excuse me" ("scusa, scusa") in Italian. One woman was thrown out of the courtroom for taking a picture of Clooney, who didn't let his charms flag throughout his 90 minutes there. Clooney made a crack at the people who concocted the fraudulent line:
The defense's case rested on photos of Clooney with the defendants. But Clooney claimed the photos of him with defendant Vanja Goffi, who wasn't in court today, were doctored and he never hung out with her. It sounds like he's alleging they Photoshopped his face onto another person's body — a very badly dressed person.
He also said he never met and has never seen Goffi, with whom he's been falsely romantically linked. But hey, this is a pretty clever idea! Do a decent enough job Photoshopping a celebrity's face onto a dude standing next to you in a picture, and you could convince at least some people that the really famous, sexy person is choosing to have sex with you!

Source: The Cut | 16 Jul 2010 | 3:35 pm Big Brother’s Brand-New Twist Is Rendered Moot in the First Week When Big Brother started last week with this year’s especially lunk-headed batch of roommates, host Julie Chen dramatically announced the season’s twist: the Saboteur! Living among the houseguests would be a ringer whose sole duty would be to undermine them all, and if he or she made it to the halfway point of the game, s/he would win $50,000! (Of course, the winner of the whole game wins $500,000, so they must have found a saboteur with low self-esteem.) The contestants sweated this new curveball, and all week the tension was palpable. Who was this mysterious double agent who would be tormenting them deep into the summer? What kind of fiendish tricks would s/he play? Would they never discover the identity of this devilish mastermi … sorry, what’s that? The saboteur got voted out last night in the very first elimination show? Oh, never mind, then. Yes, the defining twist of the whole season was shot to hell in week one. Not because an exceedingly clever group of contestants had used deductive reasoning to suss out the mole, mind you, but because the saboteur — Annie, a 27-year-old bartender (but aren’t they all?) — was loud, obnoxious, smug, and alienated everyone. After the elimination, Chen gamely tried to buy the show some more time with the concept, touting the fact that on Sunday night’s show she would ... reveal to the remaining houseguests that the saboteur was gone! So, uh, stay tuned for that. The premature removal of the show’s biggest twist will be a relief to the players, but there will also be great sadness. They had so relished learning a new exotic word to use in every sentence that wasn’t either “Game on!” or “She just put a big target on her back.” And when this fancy French term left their tongues, they wore the same proud look on their faces that people do when they get a new hairstyle.

Unlike the rest of us on vacation, who go straight from the airport to the hotel to flop down in the air conditioning to check if there is an SVU on that we haven't yet seen, Obama has to get right on top of things. Since arriving today in the megacharming coastal enclave of Bar Harbor, Maine, he's already enjoyed an ice-cream cone and set off on a hike of Cadillac Mountain (the first place on the East Coast where the sun hits, and the site of former First Daughter Jenna Bush's engagement almost exactly three years ago). But still: no shorts? In other photos, it doesn't even look like he is wearing sneakers. (Unless they are black "dress sneakers," which are not only things that actually exist but are also things that happen to frequently be worn by the same men who wear pleated khakis).

News: Entertainment News | 16 Jul 2010 | 2:31 pm Meet True Blood’s Biggest Superfan Some people just sit around and watch the shows they like. Some even wear themed Halloween costumes and write fan fiction. But some fans move beyond these conventional displays of enthusiasm into the magical realm of the superfan, where Halloween costumes become daywear and TV shows become a lifestyle. These are the people after our own hearts. This week we set out to find the biggest superfan of the addictive supernatural melodrama True Blood by contacting the main True Blood fan site, True-Blood.net; the moderators didn’t hesitate before pointing us toward Kelly Sturm, a 37-year-old True Blood fanatic and welfare office worker for the County of San Bernardino, California. Before we begin our interview with the delightfully upbeat Sturm, a quick summary of her credentials: She has (needless to say) seen every episode multiple times and read all of Charlaine Harris's source books. She posts two to three times daily on the True Blood Facebook page and True-Blood.net as EricLover37, and had the theme song "Bad Things" as her ring tone. Her apartment is decorated in memorabilia, and she has a wardrobe's worth of True Blood T-shirts. As True-Blood.net moderator Mel explains, “Kelly doesn't just watch the show, she absorbs it and uses it to inspire her. She's one of the most cheerful, enthusiastic people we've encountered in True Blood fandom.” In fact, Sturm is so cheery that she can stay calm even when confronted by the most heretical statement in all of True Blood fandom: that Twilight is superior. “I got into it with someone [who was] saying Twilight was better,” she says. “I told them they’re completely different genres. To me, it's comparing apples and oranges. [But] to each their own.”  At Comic-Con in full Fangbanger regalia, with boyfriend.Photo: Kelly Sturm Tell me about the picture with you and Eric.

Sneaky, sneaky rich people. They're always trying to pull one over on us, whether it's by selling us crappy mortgages or being like, "Oh, I forgot my credit card, I'll get lunch next time." These tricks are how they stay rich. During the recession, the Rich have been trying extra-hard to con us, most especially into thinking they are the same species as the rest of us, so that we don't stab them in the eye with our pitchforks. DO NOT BE FOOLED. In its ongoing quest to expose the Rich Among Us, the New York Times today identifies some of the new tricks these slippery swindlers have been using to stay under our radar. Among them: pulling back their spending. Acting worried about the economy as if they give a crap and their life isn't all wine and roses. And disguising their purchases. Tom Hauswirth, who runs a Cadillac dealership near Dallas and therefore has close contact with the Rich, shares one of his observations.

Actually, I think people would probably prefer him as a hairless Wolverine than a rather hairy-chested version. Certainly about a billion young girls would." —Hugh Jackman on Taylor Lautner appearing as a young Wolverine [Splash Page/MTV] "I think if they put a laugh track on Intervention, it would be funny." —Zach Galifianakis on what he thinks is the funniest show on television [GQ] "[Show business] was certainly classy at one time and it felt like nobody could be part of it and everybody flocked to it just to be a part of it. The vision that everybody had of it from the MGM days, it was really well designed. It was fun to be in and fun to go visit and fun to go to the movies. I think we've got so much communication today, we've seen the underbelly of everything. We've seen everybody's underpants." —James Brolin [Parade] "I had a meeting with Joel Schumacher. It was just one meeting and, no, I didn't end up doing it. ... As I recall I took the meeting, but didn't want to play the role." —Leonardo DiCaprio on playing Robin in Batman Forever [Shortlist] "Aging gracefully is one thing, but trying to slow it down is another. Sometimes I use Botox. Compared to most, I use it very sparingly. One time I did too much, though. I feel weird if I can't move my face, and that one time I overdid it, I felt trapped in my own skin. I don't have a problem with any of that stuff; if it makes you feel better about yourself and it's done properly, then fine." —Courteney Cox [InStyle via HuffPo] "I’d rather keep the dead and revolting things like vampires and werewolves out of my life." —Miley Cyrus [Daily Fresh News] "I'm hoping it's just a big Hollywood joke, that they're pretending that we're not going to make another movie and then we're back!" —Cameron Diaz on the Shrek franchise [Empire via Toronto Sun] Filed Under: quote machine, cameron diaz, courteney cox, hugh jackman, james brolin, leonardo dicaprio, michael cera, miley cyrus, ryan reynolds, zach galifianakis
Source: Vulture | 16 Jul 2010 | 12:45 pm Apple Will Humor People Who Think There’s a Problem With the iPhone 4 At Apple's hastily convened and highly anticipated press conference this afternoon, Steve Jobs tried his darndest to frame the whole "death grip" controversy as the "non-issue" he's always considered it to be. Jobs claimed that this reception problem is something that all smartphones have to deal with, and he demonstrated similar signal issues when holding iPhone 4 competitors like the BlackBerry and Droid. Out of every 100 calls, the iPhone 4 drops less than one more than the iPhone 3GS did, he said. Furthermore, iPhone 4 customers aren't nearly as upset about the reception problems as the media is making it appear: Fewer customers are returning their phones than they did for the iPhone 3GS, and only 0.55 percent of iPhone 4 buyers have called to complain about the antenna. BUT, having laid out the reasons that this is a completely manufactured controversy, Apple has decided to give away free bumpers or cases to anyone buying an iPhone 4 through September 30, and will provide a refund for anyone who has already bought one. Apple has also released a software update that will stop your phone from lying about its signal strength. So there you have it. Now if you'll excuse Steve Jobs, he'd like to get back to his vacation in Hawaii.

Source: Yahoo! News: Fashion News | 16 Jul 2010 | 11:37 am So I Posted This Pic Of Me Naked…
Well, let me explain. The News Of The World wanted to do a nude photoshoot with Rugby player Gavin Henson, but apparently, he was a little self-conscious about his body and asked if they could Photoshop his head onto a more cut body double. So of course, NOTW speed-dialed me, their go-to body double guy, and did their whole “we know you’re tired of showing off your body in these professional photoshoots cause it seems like bragging and you’re so humble, etc. etc., and even though we can only pay you 5 million dollars, we’d really like to use your body for this photoshoot.” I felt bad for flabby, weak Gavin Henson, so I agreed to do it on two conditions: 1) Give all the money to orphans and don’t tell them where it came from. And 2) You’re gonna have to Photoshop out the 70% of my penis that’ll be dangling below the rugby ball. They instantly agreed, dropped the cash off at the local orphanage and sent me a photo of them doing it along with this morning’s newspaper to confirm, and long story short, there’s that photo of my body with Gavin Henson’s face Photoshopped onto it on the internet. Geez, this sounds like bragging again, I’m sorry. Just think of the orphans. Source: Best Week Ever | 16 Jul 2010 | 11:30 am Fashion’s Night Out to Be Part of Two Gossip Girl Episodes Oh, what did Hamish Bowles and Blake Lively cook up when they went surfing together in San Diego for Vogue's June issue? Perhaps in the time they became chummy in their wetsuits down there, they decided it would be a good idea — and only fair after Blake's two Vogue covers — to give Hamish a cameo on Gossip Girl. And then maybe Vogue decided it would be a good idea to use that screen time as a publicity vehicle for Fashion's Night Out, which will figure into the plot of two episodes of the show airing in September. Yesterday in New York, Hamish and fellow Voguer Lauren Santo Domingo filmed cameos for the show, involving them planning for the event. The episodes sound amazing already — now they just need to convince Blake Lively to bartend or be a cocktail waitress for one of the FNO parties.
