Which action star was lying when he said recently he’d never have plastic surgery? The actor has obviously had his eyes done in the last year or two, judging by the way his crow’s feet magically disappeared . . .

Which best-selling, but slow-writing, author had some help finishing his latest novel? A translator for one of the potboiler’s foreign editions noticed from the shifting syntax and sentence structure that the book was penned by at least two writers . . .

Which heiress who married a mob-connected artist years ago is now claiming to old friends that her husband is conspiring with shady lawyers and doctors to declare her insane and seize all her money?

“Handling fame is all about the choices you make,” “Like, where do you want to go eat dinner? Don’t go to the party scenes, don’t go where you know people are going to take your pictures. Just go find a dive bar. Why do you have to go to a scene, you know? You can have more fun in other places.”

How disappointing for parents the world over, I know.  But in addition to her not dreaming that dream, she’s actually pissed at the parents of her fans calling them ‘selfish’:

“My job is to be a role model, and that’s what I want to do, but my job isn’t to be a parent,” “My job isn’t to tell your kids how to act or how not to act, because I’m still figuring that out for myself. So to take that away from me is a bit selfish. Your kids are going to make mistakes whether I do or not. That’s just life.”

Her mistakes she is referring to of course are the private raunchy pictures that have leaked online of her as well as the inappropriate mocking of Asians in another photo that she downplayed.  She still doesn’t understand what the fuss is about her Annie Leibovitz pictures that shocked the world:

“Here, my parents are thinking they’re seeing a beautiful picture by a major photographer, and the people of America want to see something dirty in that?”  ”It doesn’t make sense to us because [my family] doesn’t look for negativity. But people don’t want to say ‘What a great performance’ or ‘What a great shot.’ No one wants to look at something like that and see the positive because it doesn’t sell a magazine.”

Um, it wasn’t just America.   Canada (and other countries) didn’t think it was a ‘beautiful’ picture, not that I speak for all Canadians.

Canadian cutie Michael Cera and co-star Portia Doubleday pose with Portia’s dog at the premiere of Youth in Revolt in Los Angeles last night.

Call me crazy for asking what seems to be an obvious question, but why do people bring their dogs to premieres or other Hollywood events??  I imagine the flashing of the bulbs and the hysteria probably scares the sh*t out of the dogs and I’m sure the dogs are really unimpressed with the whole Hollywood scene to begin with.  Food, run, ball, poop.  That’s what interests dogs.

In the movie, Michael’s character sets some goals:

While his trailer trash parents teeter on the edge of divorce, Nick Twisp sets his sights on dream girl Sheeni Saunders, hoping that she’ll be the one to take away his virginity

The movie opens tomorrow in theatres.

Kristen Bell sits down with Parade Magazine and explains she likens herself to an Elf after working alongside Christina Aguilera in Burlesque:

“It’s tough stuff because there’s a lot of dancing. This strip club is run by Cher, and the girls look fantastic, especially Christina Aguilera, who just blows me away with her talent,” I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m never going to look like her. I’m a little bit closer to an elf in Santa’s workshop.”

That’s too funny.  After seeing her amazing figure in Forgetting Sarah Marshall this woman has nothing to worry about at all.

She talks about her role in Burlesque as well as how her love scenes won’t bother her father:

“I’m a burlesque dancer who’s an alcoholic, so I’m playing sexier than I’ve ever done before. You won’t see me naked, wearing pasties and a g-string or anything. But you definitely won’t think of me as the girl next door either,” My dad is always been really cool about my love scenes. He won’t need to worry about my new film When in Rome though – it’s not salacious or explicit, but it does get very romantic.”

Her movie When in Rome is completed and schedule for release on January 29th.  For the rest of the interview click on ‘continued reading’
