Mean-Spirited Celebrity Gossip

Who is even watching Craig Ferguson with any regularity?

PMS or not, I think you might have even understated it, ophy.

THEN I WILL BURN HER HOUSE AND SALT THE EARTH.

Who is even watching Craig Ferguson with any regularity?

I pretty much only watch Ferguson when KBell is on it, so...

[isadora]

And allegedly Dax is also super duper nice. They pal it up with Jimmy Kimmel and are friends with everybody in H'wood--they have even stayed at Howard Sterns' Hamptons house because Kimmel got them an invite.

To bring our daily gossip full circle, they're super besties with Bradley Cooper. He agreed to be in their movie and it's basically the reason that it got greenlit.

THEN I WILL BURN HER HOUSE AND SALT THE EARTH.

HA!!! That seems about right.

Time for a Garfleck timeline, y'all! I feel sister was trading up aggressving in the early 2000s and settled in fast when she felt she hit A-list. Just an opinion (WITH A TIMELINE TO BACK IT UP).

The Jen/Ben/Jen thing with appearances by Vartan and Foley!


2002 (early in the year) -- Benn & Jennifer start dating on the set of Gigli

2002 -- By July Jennifer Lopez s finally filing for divorce from original backup dancer husband Cris Judd and Affleck is giving her Harry Winston bracelets (can we all agree that Lopez stopped dating men who were her equal after Affleck? Because I think we can).

2002 (late summer) -- filming begins on Daredevil; Garner talks about Affleck like he taught her where her button is and how to touch it from here on out.

2002 (November) Full Bennifer Fury In Effect: Jenny From the Block video, Lopez confirms engagement rumors with a 6.1 carat PINK diamond, lots of over the top glama and excess reigns through the winter (up to March 2003 when Bennifer are the talk of the 75th Oscars).

2003, Feb. -- Daredevil released; Garner continues her public Affleck fellating unabated.

2003, April : Foley and Garner separate.

2003, May: Rumors swirl about Vartan & Garner

2003, July: Bennifer appear on Nightline to promote Gigli of all things; teetotaler Lopez goes to be early; Affleck goes out with friends (including Christian Slater, maybe?) and ends up at a strip club hooking up with some hoooore!

2003, August: Gigli is a massive flop; Bennifer are hated; Affleck denies strip club shenanigans

2003, September: Bennifer wedding is set to go off but is “postponed” due to “excessive media attention”. The couple are seen separately, Lopez without her ring; Affleck gambling and moping. Suddenly they meet up at Affleck’s home in Georgia (of all places?) and are not seen for a month. They are together through the winter but Affleck is a big whiny bitch who hates being a super couple, hates his life choices and seemingly blames JLo for everything (seriously to this day he’s a total dick about the Bennifer days, IMO, and acts like he was literally nailed to a cross and sacrificed for our gossip sins--get ovah yo'self, Ben).

2004, January: Lopez parties with P. Diddy and Affleck goes to Europe to promote some mediocre movie; break-up announced two weeks later!

2004, March: Garner and Foley divorce officially.

2004, June: Garner dumps Vartan

2004, July: Garner starts dating Affleck (per later interviews when she admits this date, but they don’t go public until the fall, rumors start getting serious in late August/early Sept.)

NOTE: Tons of reports from Star mag and others note that Vartan was pretty much devastated but he would later be quoted as saying their relationship wasn’t long-term enough to be serious--despite most reports placing them dating nearly a year. By most accounts things get AWKWARD on the Alias set as Garner has dumped Vartan, immediately started dating Affleck (perhaps cheating to line up Affleck while still with Vartan) and she either gets Vartan to not renew his contract OR the producers opt to not renew him at the end of 2005. Unclear.

2004, Oct.: First public outing together at ball game for Garfleck; Garner has HUGE shit-eating grin in photos, smiling at the camera like she hit the damn lottery.

2004/2005: They keep it mostly lowkey; Ben is OVER being a celebrity for who he is dating; they rarely go anywhere glamorous or even fun aside from sporting events.

2005, April : Ben proposes to Garner. Garner gets Vartan killed off Alias. Also, she’s already pregnant when Ben proposes. Somehow she got knocked up despite them dating less than year and her starring in a major TV franchise and yet she somehow avoided getting pregnant by her first husband or her on-set boyfriend. Side-eyeing that shit for reals.

2005, June 29 -- Garfleck married (already pregnant with Violet--about four months!)

2005, December 1 -- Violet born!

Weird trivia: Garber was one of the groomsmen at Vatan’s wedding in 2011!!

Also, this is my FAVORITE thing I’ve read lately and will be stealing it: "I'm going to pass on what is highly speculative gossip at this point. That said, it's totally true."

I would like that quote on a T-shirt.

[IssieCol]

I can see where people think she was trying to marry up, but to me, it seemed more like Ben was always her endgame and she was dating around until she could figure out how to get him. I tend to believe she was aiming for him from Pearl Harbor onward. I mean, going from Scott Foley to Vartan wasn't really an upward move, even back when Alias was a big deal. She was a bigger star than both of them. I sound like a huge JG fangirl when I barely ever think about her! But all this is reminding me of the Alias days and how much I loved that show in the beginning. So much that I stuck it out until the wackadoo end and I would watch it live!

[isadora]

I'm with J.Lo on this one! I can't believe I just said that!

I get that she was biding her time for Affleck but if he was my boyfriend at the time? I'd side-eye that bitch to infinity.

[ophy]

Ha! I love that you are Team J-Lo in this instance (where there might not have been any cheating), but are Team Non-JennyAn in the Brange sitch, where there *definitely* was cheating.

It's okay! Gossip teams don't have to be logically consistent.

I feel like J-Lo is terminally stupid and makes dumb choices, and Affleck would never have stayed with her anyway. So it hardly matters when/how it ended. I have no opinions about Garner at all. She and Ben make cute kids, and that's all I know.

Anyway, this is interesting: http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-...egnant-2013161

Jeremy Renner shared some big news with Eva Longoria on the smoking patio at the Golden Globes Jan. 13: He's going to be a father! The Bourne Legacy actor, 42, "was saying, 'I'm going to fly in when her water breaks,'" two witnesses tell Us Weekly exclusively.

"Then Eva said, 'I'm so blown away.'" Shocking, but true. Multiple sources confirm to Us that an ex-girlfriend of the actor is due to give birth next month. "they used to date but it wasn't serious," explains one insider, adding that the expectant mom is currently living in Renner's L.A. home."

The Hollywood hunk is "being ultra-secretive about it," the insider adds, "but she has been going on about her life and not hiding it." Last April, the resolutely private actor shut down longstanding false rumors that he was gay, telling The Hollywood Reporter, "I want my personal life to be personal, and it's not f-cking true."

The Oscar-nominated actor also spoke to the magazine about his four-year relationship with ex-girlfriend, actress Jess Macallan. They met when Macallan was 23 and working at a film festival in Florida; she later decided to become an actress, which contributed to their split in 2010.

"That was part of the issue," Renner explained of Macallan, who is now married. "I was going through the Hurt Locker campaign and she's like, 'Where do I get headshots?'"

This could just as easily have gone into the 'I'm Not Gay!' thread, I guess.

I have no Renner gifs! How could this have happened?

I do have this:

[IssieCol]

Renner is like the new Colin Farrell to me. I guess I see why other women find him attractive, but I do not feel it at all. Yay for a new baby, though!

I get that she was biding her time for Affleck but if he was my boyfriend at the time? I'd side-eye that bitch to infinity.

Oh, for sure. I don't think JG's motives were all Pollyanna pure. She had her own agenda and didn't really care if JLo ended up carnage in the process, so I'm not absolving her of blame or anything. I just don't think she was trying to marry up in the traditional golddigger/famedigger sense. I think she has close to the exact life she's always wanted and planned for. She gets to be A-list by association, but she doesn't have to work crazy Alias hours anymore and she has her dream guy. She can basically be a SAHM which she clearly loves, but gets all the perks of a Nicole Kidman. The only downside is that Affleck cheats on her, but she'll put up with that until he embarrasses her in public. It wouldn't surprise me at all if she eventually became more like Rita Wilson or Kate Capshaw if Ben's career keeps going the way its going right now. And because it's still one of my favorite celeb pictures EVER:

[Linda]

She and Ben make cute kids, and that's all I know.

They're not that cute at all.

[isadora]

Thank you, Linda! Ha!

And that pic is fabulous.

[ophy]

You are terrible people!

They are perfectly lovely children.

(seriously though, you gotta admit that's super cute.)

So, Star magazine is reporting that Lohan is escorting to make ends meet and, I mean, duh, of course. But I was thinking about this whole escorting thing among starlets and there have been rumors swirling like mad for some time about that Diana Jenkins, Room 23, Hayden P., etc. And apparently this password protected website: www.kingzzz.com has a lookbook of models and starlets and other high-priced escorts. And it costs like $10k to join the site and the people on it include Real Housewives and the like.

Somebody at The Pirate Bay ripped the site and included the list of clients. You can see that here (NSFW--naughty ads on the page).

I am torn between my fascination of the dark underbelly of starlets and sex workers and my wish to call their mothers.

Aw, sadly, Amber Smith is on their website--she was on Celebrity Rehab and she admitted to being a call girl to feed her addiction (and her mothers!!) to painkillers. That makes me super sad!
