The other day I was at the grocery store checkout and I saw a man pick up the National Enquirer and I needed to resist the urge to bitch-slap him.  Although I’m hardly an expert in the lives of celebrities, my contempt for tabloids stem from crap like this story:  Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart want to start a family.

A ‘source‘ tells the National Enquirer:

“Kristen and Robert want to have kids,” while they initially felt they were too young, those fears seem to have evaporated. They feel that having a baby would cement their love.”

And Robert Pattinson’s ‘cousin’ Ed Nutley (he he he) confirms Robert wants to be a young dad:

“It’s his secret – and you don’t broadcast your secrets to the world,”

That’s right.  You just get anonymous sources and ‘cousins’ to do it for you because for whatever reason, they feel it’s their duty, right or privilege.

The source goes on to say:

“Obviously, for the sake of their families, Kristen and Stewart would like to be married before having a child. But it Kristen gets pregnant before they get hitched, that’s OK too.”

I would write more on this story, but my Unicorn in the backyard needs watering.

and of course hottie Ryan Reynolds who gets the main picture because he’s hot (and I’m deep like that), although I would prefer if he would lose the facial hair because it hides his luscious lips that I have big, big plans for.

George Clooney attended the Los Angeles premiere of ‘Up in the Air’ with the two most important women in his life: his mom Nina Warren Clooney and his lady love Elizabetta Canalis.  From the look on mommy’s face, she approves of George’s latest lady.

The film centres on George’s character, Ryan Bingham, who goes around the country firing people.  Director (and writer) of the film, Jason Reitman tells WENN that he was impressed with the real-life people who agreed to be filmed sharing their personal experiences:

“I approached the shooting of the film when we were having one of the worst recessions on record. I had to adjust how to do these firing scenes (in the film), so satire just didn’t work anymore.  ”We were shooting in St. Louis and Detroit, two cities that just got pummelled and I put an ad out in the paper asking if there were people who lost their jobs and if they wanted to be in a documentary about job loss.  ”We said it was a documentary to weed out actors who were trying to sneak into the film. We had a startling amount of responses. I ended up putting 60 people on camera, 22 of which made the film.

“We interviewed them about what it was like to lose their job in this economy and then we’d fire them on camera and ask them to respond the way they did when they lost their job, or, if they preferred, the way they wish they had responded. It was an incredible experience to watch these non-actors improvise with 100 per cent realism. ”I don’t think I’ll use trained actors in the future.”

Cindy Crawford looks absolutely breathtaking at the premiere with her handsome hubby Rande Gerber.  The shoes are fierce, yes?  Also attending:

• Cheech Marin
• Jason Bateman
• Amanda Anka
• America Olivo
• Rhona Mitra
• Danny Trejo
• Christian Campbell
• Chris Lowell
• Olivia Munn
• Anna Kendrick
• Rebecca De Mornay
• Vera Farmiga
