Zooey Deschanel is pretty pissed off at super cute shoe designer, Steve Madden.  She is claiming the company stiffed her over an endorsement deal she agreed to back in August.

Coachella Day 1 – Performances

The lawsuit was filed yesterday in Los Angeles Superior Court. The original deal was for $2 million and Zooey agreed to it.  Then Madden came back saying the retailers wouldn’t back it, so he reduced it to $1.5 million.  Zooey was still cool with it.  She turned down other gigs to do this one.   So it’s pretty shady that she ended up with nothing at the end, right?

Steve Madden stiffed her completely and she’s suing for the original $2 million.  She could even go for more since he promised her a portion of the profits is sales were high enough.  Go get ‘em girl!

Stay tuned for more of the drama.

Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce performed together during Day 1 of Coachella.  Beyonce wasn’t listed in the line up so that was probably a surprise to the concert goers.  That’s a major surprise, no? Lots of celebrities Tweeting about Jay-Z’s performance being incredible.

Bradley Cooper doesn’t look like a man who’s just coming off of a break up with Renee Zellweger, so I’m inclined to think those ‘break-up’ rumours are just that:  rumours.  It was reported he was romancing producer Holly Wiersma.  A girl (or guy) can go insane listening to all these rumours, huh?

However, that makes me wonder if the latest rumours of her meeting his parents are true.  A ‘source’ told the New York Daily News:

“Things have been heading in this direction for the two of them for a while, but this definitely solidifies how serious they are”

“She says she’s nervous, and she’s really hoping it goes well. But she’s very excited.  “It’s quite serious. Renee and Bradley are crazy about each other. For both their sake, I certainly hope Gloria likes her.”

Uggh.  Whatever. The 13th Annual Hollywood Film Festival Awards took place last night at the Beverly Hills Hilton with a ton of celebrities attending:

• Charlize Theron
• Kate Beckinsale
• Len Wiseman
• Zachary Quinto
• Julianne Moore
• Carey Mulligan
• Maria Bello
• Shannon Doherty
• Zooey Deschanel
• Hilary Swank
• Diablo Cody
• Taraji P. Henson
• Diane Kruger

 And lots of others

I love Zooey and loved her in Yes Man with Jim Carrey.  She seems so real and down-to-earth, and Craig Ferguson cracks me up.  I think he would be a lot of fun to be around.   He’s the type of guy I don’t think I could have a straight face being around him.  I find him hot.
