John Cleese On Facebook
The members of the Monty Python cast recently reunited at the Tribeca Film Festival. Here are John Cleese's thoughts on a couple of subjects, as quoted by Page Six:
On Facebook:
"I don’t begin to understand contemporary society. Nobody has yet been able to explain Facebook to me. I just don’t know why anybody would do it and that’s quite scary because you’ve got to be in some sort of touch with your audience … If you don’t understand your audience, the best thing to do is get out.”
On the Daily Mail's claims that the Monty Python actors hate each other:

On the Daily Mail's claims that the Monty Python actors hate each other:
“I think it’s because something like the Daily Mail, which is my pet hate, it operates on trying to make people anxious and slightly depressed because that’s how they sell more copies. When it actually came out, it was a huge success. They pretended it had got mixed reviews because they don’t want people to be happy. We made a lot of people happy and they made us happy. We went out and had a good time … and at the end of it, I thought that was marvelous and of course that’s not going to sell. So, the Daily Mail tried to spoil it by pretending it hadn’t been a success and it’s kind of sick.”
Michael Palin then interjected: "So as you can see, we hate the Daily Mail slightly more than we hate each other."
Chrissy Teigen On Retouching
Chrissy Teigen made news when she posted the following photo on Instagram.
Teigen had this to say, as quoted by E! News:
"I actually am working on a cookbook and I was bumping around in the kitchen and the door handle would just nick me every single time. And I was actually just taking a picture of the bruises and then I saw the stretch marks in there. I have those apps, the Facetune and Photoshopping ones, and I just didn’t feel like doing it anymore — and I’m never doing it again, because I think we forget what normal people look like now. I mean, people are nip-tucking [their pictures]. It’s gotten to a point where they’re not smoothing their skin anymore, they are actually changing the shape of their body and everybody else. Nobody can compare to that when you’re fixing yourself so much. It started with Botox and everything, of course, but now it’s just grown into this Photoshop phenomenon and I’ve seen these women in person, they are not like that. Please know that. I’ve shot in barely anything with them and it’s just amazing what people do to tweak themselves.”

The Bruce Jenner Interview
The Bruce Jenner interview with Diane Sawyer aired last night. On the interview, Jenner announced (as quoted by Page Six):
"For all intents and purposes, I am a woman. My brain is much more female than it is male. I just can't pull the curtain any longer. Bruce lives a lie. She is not a lie."
Jenner declined to reveal his new name in the interview or appear as a woman on camera; he wants to keep those two things private for a little while longer.
Right after the interview, Variety announced that Bruce Jenner's as-yet-untitled docuseries will debut on E! on Sunday, July 26th. There will be eight hour-long episodes.

Blind Gossip Blind Item - One Up The Rival
This TV star was recently talking about how worried she is that her husband might have fathered a child before they married.
Ha! There is no way that he fathered a child out of wedlock. Why not? Because he doesn’t even like to have sex with women!
We thought that she was saying this because she really wants you to believe her husband is some kind of sex machine who just can’t stop having sex with women many, many times a day.
While that is true, it turns out that there was another reason for her fake concern. An insider told us:
“She likes to pretend that [another celebrity couple] are her friends, but she deep down thinks that they are her rivals. She was annoyed that [Rival Husband] was getting attention for having a secret child. Whenever [Rival Wife and Rival Husband] get attention for something, she always immediately plans something to try to one up them and draw the attention back to herself! That’s why she’s talking about [her husband] possibly being a secret father. She knows it’s not true, but she just can’t help being competitive.”
Give me a break…

John Oliver On The Royal Baby
Page Six recently caught up with John Oliver, and asked him what he thought of the impending birth of the new royal baby. Here's what he had to say:
"I don’t care. I think people around the world care more about royal babies than British people do. It’s one of the only things we produce of international value anymore. It shows how far our empire has collapsed that people tend to look at us whenever members of the royal family are born, die or get married. I have a lot of shit I’d like to ask the queen.”

Hilary Duff Prepping For Custody Battle
When Hilary Duff filed for divorce from Mike Comrie, she asked for primary physical custody of their son Luca, 3. TMZ reports that Mike Comrie has finally responded to the divorce filing, and he is demanding joint custody of Luca. It appears that Comrie is not contesting their prenup; the only point of contention in their divorce will be their son. Duff reportedly filed for sole custody because she is worried that Comrie's hard partying interferes with his ability to parent their son.
Cobie Smulders Talks Cancer Diagnosis
Actress Cobie Smulders recently opened up to Women's Health magazine about being diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the age of 25. The magazine quotes her as follows:
"I had tumors on both ovaries, and the cancer had spread into my lymph nodes and surrounding tissues. I don't think I'll ever feel like I'm cancer-free. Now that I'm five years out, I'm trying to think of it as a positive thing and what can I learn from it. And if I can create more awareness, I'll do it."

Bradley Cooper May Have Found His New Girlfriend
Page Six reports that Bradley Cooper was spotted out on a date with Irina Shayk. The two attended a performance of Finding Neverland, starring Matthew Morrison. Cooper recently broke up with girlfriend Suki Waterhouse after dating for two years, and Shayk recently broke up with boyfriend Cristiano Ronaldo after five years of dating.
Alan Rickman Is Married
Us Weekly reports that Alan Rickman, 69, has secretly married his longtime love Rima Horton. The pair met for the first time in 1965 when Rickman was 19, and Horton was 18. She was his first girlfriend. The pair moved in together in 1977, and have been together ever since. Rickman stated that after their low-key nuptials in New York, the couple walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and ate lunch.
Daphne Oz Pregnant Again
Daphne Oz, co-host of The Chew and daughter of Dr. Oz, is pregnant again. People reports that she and husband John Jovanovic are expecting their second child together. The two already have one daughter together; 13-month-old Philomena Bijou. I'm expecting the new baby's name to top that!
Everybody Loves Raymond's Sawyer Sweetin Commits Suicide
Sawyer Sweetin, 19, who played the role of Geoffrey Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond, has passed away from an apparent suicide, TMZ reports. Sawyer shot himself while he was home visiting his family in Texas. His sister Madylin posted the following message on her Facebook:
"At this time I would like to encourage everyone to reach out to the ones you love. Let them have no doubt of what they mean to you.”

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Protect Her From Her Bodyguard
Although the purpose of a bodyguard is to protect you, what if that bodyguard was actually the one putting you in danger?
This singer needs to be more careful about who she hires, because one of the bodyguards she frequently uses makes money on the side dealing heroin!
Could you imagine if her tour bus was stopped one day, and a search turned up baggies of H? Even if she is not the one using it or dealing it, it’s HER photo that will be splashed across the front pages. Having her name and the word “heroin” in the same sentence would certainly hurt that wholesome reputation of hers. Careful, girl!

Russell Crowe Was Almost A Scientologist
Russell Crowe recently sat down for an interview with People, where he talks about his brush with Scientology. The magazine quotes him as follows:
"From a young kid, I was quite interested in religion. when I met Tom Cruise when he was married to [fellow Aussie] Nicole [Kidman], we were spending a bit of time together so I thought I'd find out a little bit about what he was into. I found a video in the video store about Scientology and I watched it. It wasn't that informative. But I brought it up with Tom and I thought he was really cool. He didn't try to sell me a pair of shoes. He just said, 'If it's something that interests you, you'll pursue it.' And I think that happens with any kind of religion if you come to t by your own discovery. I never ended up putting my two cents on anybody's table. I've never graced [Scientology's] doorway."

The other day, someone said to me, 'I really respect how private you guys are.' I said, 'Really? That's interesting.' It's more work to put your relationship out there than it is to keep it behind closed doors. But my relationship is not a branch of my brand. It's my private life. Certainly, that's how he feels too. For any couple that's been together for a certain amount of time, there's a massive amount of pressure to get married. I totally believe in marriage, but being in a happy relationship is much more important to me...[kids are] something that's more realistic in the near future."

Trans Model Andreja Pejic Appears In The May Issue Of Vogue
Model Andreja Pejic is one of fashion's rising stars. She opens up to Vogue magazine about transitioning in the public eye:
"Society doesn't tell you that you can be trans...I thought about being gay, but it didn't fit...I thought, Well, maybe [living as a girl] is just something you like to imagine sometimes. Try to be a boy and try to be normal. There are just more categories now. It's good. We're finally figuring out that gender and sexuality are more complicated. Being known to the whole world with this transition, I thought, 'Who is ever going to love me? How am I going to have a relationship with a man if all of this is public?' Then I got to a place where I was like, 'I'm successful and happy with what I've achieved. There's nothing I should be ashamed of. You can take it or leave it.'"

Donatella Versace Warring With Giorgio Armani
Giorgio Armani recently spoke to the UK's Sunday Times Magazine about the differences between his line and that of Gianni Versace's. The magazine quotes him as follows:
"He was looking at the models, and he said to me, 'I dress sluts. You dress church ladies.'"
When Donatella read this, she was hella pissed! She fired back with the following comment:
"I find it extremely rude and tasteless that Mr. Armani has once again put words into my brother's mouth, especially because he is sadly no longer with us to reply...This is the second time he claims this was said. The first was immediately after his death, and he apologized to me. When my brother spoke about fashion, the only word that ever came out of his mouth was glamour. What should be said about my brother is: May Gianni Versace rest in peace."

People Magazine has named Sandra Bullock this year's World's Most Beautiful Woman. Here's what she had to say about the honor:
"I've never been a great beauty. I've never been the bombshell that was coveted. In an odd way, that made growing older a lot easier in this business. I guess I'm doing it on my own terms, and that is my wish for everyone. Real beauty is quiet. Especially in this town, it's just so hard not to say, 'Oh, I need to look like that.' No be a good person, be a good mom, do a good job with the lunch, let someone in front of you who looks like they're in a bigger hurry. The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren't trying."

Wine and Sass Blind Item - Just A Fling
We've got some whispers that this possibly up and coming "actor" from an A+ List family is head over heels for this B- List Actress that was created from a hit reality show and now is a fledgling actress in TV.
They happened to be at the same place and the same time and he says "sparks flew." For her, on the other hand, it was just a one-time thing. She has never been one for commitment, even when she was married. She goes where she thinks she can get the money or fame...he is gorgeous, but can do nothing for her.
He is going to be in for a surprise when he truly starts navigating the A or B List women in the Hollywood circuit that he thinks he should be with. Many women will want to be with him for a night, but unless he can really make a name for himself, they won't stick around.

Blind Gossip Blind Item - When You Peel Back The Layers
This TV actress broke up with this odd guy last year, but his relentlessly crazy behavior is completely stressing her out. However, when you peel back the layers of Odd Guy’s life story, his behavior might actually make sense.
Odd Guy’s parents were each married multiple times. His mentally ill mother abandoned him when he was a baby, and he was raised by the nanny. He finally reconciled with his mother many years later, but he lost her again when she murdered her third husband and then killed herself. For some reason, our guy blamed his father for his mother’s unhappiness, and subsequently stopped speaking to his father for years.
Odd Guy never had any children. He thinks of our actress as his only real family. The fact that she kept coming back to him after they broke up makes him think that he has a shot at winning her back. He will do anything – ANYTHING – to keep her in his life. If his current crazy actions stress out her and her current beau enough to break up, all the better.
Do you think his plan will succeed?

Kardashian Korner
Kanye West recently sat down for an interview with Paper Magazine, where he talked about his outlook on life. The magazine quotes him as follows:
"One time I was at the dentist's office and I was given nitrous gas and I was vibing out. I guess that's my version of Steve Jobs and his LSD trip — when I had this first thought: What is the meaning of life? And then I thought, To give. What's the key to happiness? Happiness. What do you want in life? When you give someone something, should they give you something in return? No. We don't have to expect to be compensated by the person we give to. Just give.
I'm a Christian so I'll speak in Christian terms: God will give you tenfold. Then I said in my mind — I'm still under the gas and getting my teeth cleaned — But I just want to be remembered. And I immediately corrected myself. I said, It doesn't even matter if I'm remembered.
I came out of the gas and had a completely new attitude on everything. It's fine to not get credit for everything; it's almost better. For the amount of things that I really want to do, it can only work if I'm credited for about 20 percent of them. Because if I'm really credited for the amount of things that I'm going to do and what I want to do, it's just too much. The reward is in the deed itself. The times that I've looked like a crazy person — when I was screaming at an interviewer or screaming from the stage — all I was screaming was, 'Help me to help more! I've given all I've got. I've gone into fucking debt. It's all I've got to give. But if I had a little bit more opportunity, I could give so much more.' That's what I was screaming for. Help me to help more."

John Travolta Talks Scientology on Good Morning America
John Travolta recently sat down for an interview on Good Morning America, where he talked about Scientology. Travolta stated the following:
"People really need to take time and read a book. You know, that's my advice. You could read A New Slant on Life, you could read Dianetics. And I think if you really read it, you'll understand it, but unless you do, you'll speculate. And I think that's a mistake to do that. Sometimes when something really works well, it becomes a target," he said. "Forty years for me, I've been a part, and I've loved every minute of it. My family has done so well with it. It's been a beautiful thing for me. I've saved lives with it and saved my own life several times. Through my loss of my son, it helped me every step of the way for two years solid, and here I am."

Sometimes when something really works well, it becomes a target," he said. "Forty years for me, I've been a part, and I've loved every minute of it. My family has done so well with it. It's been a beautiful thing for me. I've saved lives with it and saved my own life several times. Through my loss of my son, it helped me every step of the way for two years solid, and here I am."

Miley Cyrus Splits From Patrick Schwarzenegger
People has finally reported what pretty much everyone in the free world already knew: Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger have broken up. Perhaps it was because his last name was too hard to spell, perhaps it was because this was allegedly more of a facial hair-type situation. People quotes a source as stating, "They're just in two different places in their lives - he's in college and she's focused on her music and career." And pizza. Don't forget pizza.

Blind Gossip Blind Item - A Little Laugh Over Big and Big
This TV actress is having a little laugh over her personal life!
She was very upset last year when her big musician beau cheated on her with another girl. They broke up and he immediately moved on to dating that other girl (who is a big celebrity in her own right).
Although heartbroken, our actress moved on, too. Now, less than a year later, she is married and expecting a baby!
Her cheating ex? Well, he didn’t fare so well. His big celebrity girlfriend just kicked him to the curb… for cheating on her!
Our actress is having a good laugh over this one, but will likely avoid calling out Big and Big on social media. Living well is her best revenge. She’s happy.

Willie Nelson Selling His Own Brand of Weed
Willie Nelson recently started his own cannabis company, called Willie's Reserve. The company will produce Willie Nelson's first line of weed, appropriately titled Willie's Weed. Nelson recently sat down for an interview with Rolling Stone where he talked about the product. The magazine quotes him as follows:
"I will make sure it's good or it won't be on sale. There should be a menu just like in a restaurant because there's so many different kinds of pot that do many different things. It's a good idea to have everything labeled for what it does, what it don't do [and] how powerful it is. It fell together like evolution wants it to. It's just a matter of time in this country before it's legal. I feel like I bought so much, it's time to start selling it back! [Willie's Reserve] is an extension of [my] passion and appreciation for the many varieties and range of the plant's qualities. Some of the best master growers in America will collaborate...to define quality standards so that fans can expect clean and consistent products."

"I just got out of rehab nine months ago, and in rehab they make you do this kind of operatic therapy and you sit with this small group, three or four people, and you work through your shit and somebody will play your father and somebody will play your mother...For me, it was like method acting. You rarely get that on a film set because film sets get so large that you have people looking at you like you're just a fucking actor. The best art comes out of pain. When a genius has pain, the Warren Buffett in me is like, 'Go.' Not that there's a big Warren Buffett in me or anything or that I got into this for financial shit."

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Carry My Baby For Lots Of Money
Sofia Vergara is not the only celebrity who has been hunting for a surrogate!
This well-known over-30 film actress has quietly put out the word to her assistant/s, stylist, and hair and makeup people (and perhaps a few others) that if someone she knows will carry a baby for her, “they will be VERY well compensated.” Requirements are they they be under-40, have a healthy lifestyle, and are able to keep a huge secret.
The actress feels that if she is actually friends with the person, they will be much more likely to adhere to the actress’ healthy living standards… and much less likely to sell her out!

Josh Hartnett Talks Career Regrets
Josh Hartnett recently sat down for an interview with Playboy, where he talks about some of the regrets that he has about his career. The magazine quotes him as follows:
"The intensity of my sudden fame was overwhelming for me. And in the middle of that, I felt I couldn't trust any new person I met or their motives. I spent a lot of time back home in Minnesota with my friends and family. I've definitely said no to some of the wrong people. I learned my lesson when Chris Nolan and I talked about Batman. I decided it wasn't for me. Then he didn't want to put me in the Prestige. I was so focused on not being pigeonholed and so scared of being considered only one thing as an actor. Watching Christian Bale go on to do so many other things has been just awesome. I mean, he's been able to overcome that. Why couldn't I see that at the time? I know now that I wouldn't turn something down just because it's a superhero role."
