Keanu Reeves, star of The Day the Earth Stood Still, says that he’s always liked playing an alien. In fact, he got experience doing so as a child:
“I often used to escape into another world as a kid. I built spaceships. I was that whole idea of getting out of my own circumstances, a fascination with distant planets, unknown mysteries, going wherever the imagination could go. I loved Star Wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Blade Runner.”
Aww. One of our favorite Hollywood hotties used to be a little space nerd. That just makes him a little more lovable.
Everyone likes hearing they’ve done well, and singer Pink is no exception.
The star has bravely and stubbornly gone against the advice of producers and created her own image and songs, but what many don’t know is that she still seeks approval from one man in her life — her dad. Before every album, Pink asks her dad what he thinks:
“I still get scared about releasing records. My dad is always really cute. He puts on the headphones and he shouts, ‘Honey, I love this one, it’s really good.’ Even though I’m standing right next to him. But it always makes me feel better if he likes it. He makes me feel less nervous. He doesn’t preach to me how I could make it better — he just likes it.”
Sounds like despite her tough exterior, Pink is still daddy’s little girl.
Reportedly John Mayer popped the question to girlfriend Jennifer Aniston — and she turned him down. Aniston apparently thought it was too soon to be getting married , according to a source:
“She told John that everything is so perfect between them right now, they shouldn’t ruin the focus of their relationship. A wedding would be so stressful and Jennifer just wants to enjoy this phase, falling madly in love getting a thrill if the other one texts when they are apart. John told Jennifer she is the girl for him and he is sure of it. He is willing to do anything she wants so long as they are together… He really wants to settle down with her. He wants children, marriage — the whole thing at some point.”
This seems like a complete role reversal. Mayer’s always seemed like the playboy-wannabe, and Aniston’s has a reputation for craving babies. Do you think we can believe this source?
Adding fuel to the rumors of divorce, Amy Winehouse’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil says that if he loves his wife he needs to leave her — because he’s the one who got her into hard drugs.
He told News of the World, “I made the biggest mistake of my life by taking heroin in front of her. I introduced her to heroin, crack cocaine and self-harming. I feel more than guilty. I dragged Amy into it and without me there is no doubt that she would never have gone down that road. I ruined something beautiful. Now I have to let her go to save her life. I am not abandoning her. I am doing this out of love.”
At least he’s admitting what everyone else already knew. But interestingly, he doesn’t mention his new girlfriend as a part of the reason he’s ending his marriage…
He continued telling the British paper about all the problems he caused for Winehouse:
“I was there when Amy suffered her first seizure. I still break down thinking about it. We had been taking drugs all day long — heroin and crack. We started early and finished late. We didn’t really stop… and while I was getting out of my head, I wasn’t thinking that I was taking somebody with me. Then my wife… just started shaking violently in front of me. I started crying and I lay her down in the recovery position… I twas heartbreaking, seeing someone you love more than yourself, someone you would die for… on the floor shaking. I will go to my grave with that picture of Amy asking me, ‘Who are you? Who are you?’ She didn’t know who I was. I told Amy, ‘I’m your husband.’ I knew then that I had ruined something beautiful. It was all my fault. It was the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my life. Now the most dignified thing I can ever do in my life is to release somebody I love from my f***ing grasp, from my clutches… I will never stop wanting Amy and loving her and craving her. More than anything I am addicted to Amy. I will do anything for her — and that includes walking away. If something bad happened to Amy now I would kill myself without a question.”
Noble, maybe… but also a little attention seeking. Do you believe him?
Someone isn’t getting any for awhile. Gwyneth Paltrow’s husband, Chris Martin, was interviewed by The Times of London while in Denver, and the reporter asked him if there’s anything he misses and can only get in Britain. The Coldplay singer responded, “Laid. Oh, and maybe a Toffee Crisp.”
Sexy Robert Pattinson is a dirty, dirty boy. Ask him — he refuses to wash his hair.
The Twilight star confesses that his standards for hygiene aren’t all that high:
“I don’t have much of a sense of personal hygiene or styling or anything. I gave up washing it awhile back.”
That’s pretty gross, right? But apparently it’s a burgeoning trend, because I know two men who seem entirely normal except for their absolute refusal to wash their hair. We’re talking months and years here. Any idea why this appeals? The economy isn’t so bad that people can’t afford shampoo… especially a someone like Pattinson.
Now that Guy Ritchie is free of wife Madonna, he gets to do what he wants. And what he wants to do is open a new pub in New York City.
The film director owns The Punchbowl in London, and after visiting New Yorkers told him they’d love having a similar place to go in their hometown, he began looking into a new venture there. But, sources say, Ritchie has other reasons for opening a new pub so close to his ex:
“If Guy has business in New York he would have a great excuse to have proper days out with the kids. Guy is very dedicated to his films but his number one priority will always be the kids. He dreads the idea of becoming an ‘occasional dad.’”
With two great reasons to be in New York, I hope Ritchie’s plans work out!
Naomi Campbell is rumored to be planning a wedding to her rich Russian beau, Vladimir Dornin, after she was photographed at a Moscow party wearing a large emerald on her ring finger. Although the supermodel’s rep has poo-pooed such claims, Britain’s Sunday Mirror quotes a source as saying, “Naomi asked [close friends and family] to save the date and be prepared to travel to Russia. She’s keeping tight-llipped about exactly what is happening — and has sworn everyone to secrecy.”
So… does this ring any bells? While it seems nearly identical to the last two performances you’ve seen here, this one was not in Germany or France… it was for British television show X Factor.
