Blind Gossip Blind Item - Opposite of The Zombies
If you are thinking of booking a ticket to this female entertainer’s upcoming concert series, you might want to consider this first.
[There is] NO WAY she is going to sing live! Many singers who actually have good voices can’t evn pull off singing live. She has a huge ego but thank god she knows she can’t sing so she’s not even going to try it! She will have a mic and will yell every once in a while to get the crowd going but that’s it. It’s all going to be pre-recorded tracks.
So, if she’s not singing, what will she be doing?
She calls [Singer 2, Singer 3] “The Zombies” because they barely move on stage. [Singer 1] is very comfortable with her dancing. Expect her show to be a big spectacle with lots of movement and choreography. She can’t sing but she can dance her heart out! It will be the opposite of The Zombies.
Eat your hearts out, Zombies!

Apparently recreational space travel is already a thing. Microsoft co-founder Charles Simonyi has already been twice, and Brightman was set to become the eighth paying tourist to go up, but The Hollywood Reporter announces that she is postponing her interstellar flight plans due to personal family reasons.

Melissa Rivers Speaks Out About Kathy Griffin
After keeping silent through much of the Fashion Police debacle earlier this year, Melissa Rivers has finally shared her thoughts about Kathy Griffin and the way that she left the show with Today. Page Six quotes Rivers as follows:
"My biggest complaint was the feeling that she kind of shit all over my mother's legacy in her statement on leaving. And I know that was not an intentional reading of it, but that's how I felt...by calling the comedy and they style of it old-fashioned. It was like, I understand what you were doing, you're trying to save yourself, but don't crap all over my mother to do it. We were a family, cast and crew...and we went back too soon. And just like a family, when the matriarch dies, the sisters started fighting; and someone tried to marry in -- not a great match, live and learn.. 'Fashion Police' was a little jewel and it was the last piece I had of my mother...I felt like all these people were so out of control, including the person who made the allegation about racism. They took the last thing I had and smashed it."

Kim Richards Officially Charged With Being a Drunken Sloppy Mess
TMZ reports that the LA Country DA has finally decided on charges of Kim Richards' night of fun at the Beverly Hills Hotel last month. The final tally comes in at public intoxication, resisting arrest, and battery on a police officer. If she is found guilty on all counts, she is facing up to two and a half years in jail. This also calls into question her future on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills; producers were reportedly already on the fence about bringing her back.
Johnny Depp Is In The Australian Dog House
Like many celebrities, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard think that normal people rules don't apply to them. You see, Australia has a very strict policy on bringing dogs into the country. You have to officially declare them, and then they go into a 10-day quarantine to ensure that they don't have any diseases that would spread to the local canine population. TMZ reports that Depp and Heard didn't feel like doing that, and smuggled their two Yorkies into the country on a private plane. Well, the word has gotten out and they have received official notice that if they do not send the dogs out of the country by Saturday, they will be put down as per the country's standing policy. Well, that's one way for Depp to get Heard out of the country! Update: The dogs are en route back to the States. No word yet whether or not Amber Heard is joining them for the flight.

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Double the Marriage Stress
Before her husband, this famous actress had dated some of the most eligible men in the world. So we wondered why she would get married after dating this guy for such a short period of time.
Did she really think that this was the perfect man for her? Was she desperate to tie the knot? Was she pregnant? Did she feel her clock ticking? Did she think that this was her last chance at love?
We finally found out.
She got married because she loved the idea of securing an instant family! She was good friends with her fiance’s sister-in-law, and the friend was the one who actually pushed everyone into the fast marriage. “We’ll be like sisters!” Since her real sister/s does not live close by, our actress was enamored with the idea of marrying into a fun, close-knit family that included her friend.
However, once she got there… everything changed. She discovered that her friend was on the brink of divorce. Now that divorce is wreaking havoc on two marriages, because our actress feels like she is in the middle of an untenable situation.
The pressure on [actress] is just too much! She is being asked to choose sides. She doesn’t want to be disloyal to [her husband] and his family, but she also doesn’t want to dump [her friend] either. She and [her husband] have been fighting non-stop about this for the past two months. It’s so bad that now BOTH marriages are in trouble!

He also talked about breaking into Hollywood:
"People didn't sit up and take any notice of me until I started putting on weight, kicking people and being aggressive. The trouble with Hollywood is that they want you to be something, then they think you're who they wanted you to be. I'm not a fighter. I'm a petite little bourgeois boy from London."

Incredible mother, she's raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for my husband's oral cancer foundation -- things she doesn't talk about a lot. I'm so proud of her.

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Wedding Snub
In the eternal quest to create drama for a reality show, these two women have agreed to pretend to fight with each other over an upcoming wedding.
One is pretending that she will not attend because she is angry with the other. Snub!
The one little detail that nobody is talking about? The wedding itself is a lie! The couple is already married and has been since last year! However, the TV show wanted more drama, so they are staging a “wedding” to upgrade the party’s importance and to add fuel to the feud between the women.
If the first woman didn’t show for a party, it’s not a big deal. However, if she didn’t show for a “wedding”... well, that’s dramatic!
The first woman, her husband, and her child/ren, were there for the real wedding last year. This fake wedding and “snub” storyline were scripted simply to manufacture some controversy. Their lives really just aren’t that interesting without it!
For some real drama, though, we would have the first woman show up at the “wedding” at the last minute… tears in her eyes… all is forgiven… hug it out. But that’s just us.

At the heart of Regina George was a really angry kid who had no boundaries or guidance. [Director] Mark [Waters] told me to listen to Courtney Love really loud, and to watch Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross."
On her new role in True Detective:
"I love that she's not the girlfriend or the wife. She doesn't really care what everyone thinks; she feels no responsibility for other people's feelings. She's not trying to be charming, which isn't always the case with a leading lady. There's [usually] sort of a responsibility to be a little bit likable...Not that you want to be a horrendous character, just a little more human."

ACLU Wants Investigation Into Hollywood's Hiring Practices
There have been a few posts here about how female directors in Hollywood are being marginalized by the industry. Now, the ACLU is getting involved. The New York Times reports that the ACLU has asked both state and federal agencies to investigate the hiring practices of Hollywood studios, networks, and talent agencies. The ACLU is quoted as follows:
"Women directors aren't working on an even playing field and aren't getting a fair opportunity to succeed. Gender discrimination is illegal. And, really, Hollywood doesn't get this free pass when it comes to civil rights and gender discrimination."
Of the top-grossing 100 films of 2013 and 2014 only 1.9% were directed by women. And of the 3,500 episodes of broadcast television that aired last year, only 14% were directed by women. 1/3 of those shows had zero female directors.

But a director said, 'Can't. Too late. You're already listed in the credits.' It's difficult. People mispronounce it. As it's spelled, they say CHlumsky. No. Incorrect.

Lindsay Lohan Lied Again
Shocking, I know. Lindsay Lohan was supposed to have started her community service at a preschool in Brooklyn on Tuesday. She even tweeted on Monday morning how excited she was, stating "Happy to be home in nyc with my family and friends. Missed this place." Turns out, she sits on a throne of lies! TMZ reports that Lohan was still in London when she tweeted out how happy she was to be in NYC, and that is the real reason that her community service start date got pushed back - she wasn't even in the country until Tuesday afternoon! According to the New York Daily News, the school had to send home the following letter to parents:
"Ms. Lohan has asked to return to complete her community service and may be placed in a classroom with your child. This would be under constant supervision."
Would you let the Teflon Con watch your kids?

Blind Gossip Blind Item - From Zen To Nag
This famous actor thought that he was marrying a woman who was calm and modest and “very zen.” Since he tends to be the opposite, he thought she would be a good influence on him. And, for awhile there, she was! He was calmer and happier and healthier with her than he had been in years.
Right after the wedding, though, “she turned into a different person.” This one was very energetic, demanding, nagging, and quite the little attention seeker!
It’s totally stressing him out! Now, it’s not to the point where their relationship is so rocky that he wants to leave the marriage. However, it is causing him to indulge in his favorite stress reducer: food. His friends say that the big difference in his weight between his wedding and today can all be attributed to the change in their relationship.

DuJour Blind Item - Loopholes in Prenups
Just how fraught is the whole issue of prenups? Ask George Darren (not his real name) a prominent L.A. media executive. Darren loves his second wife very, very much. Only she is not his wife, despite the lavish Beverly Hills wedding. Virtually no one knows the truth—not friends, family, coworkers or children. The only people who know are their attorney and the one close friend who faux-married them. And why?
“My first marriage lasted four years and did not involve children, yet I lost one-third of all I worked for my entire life,” says Darren, 57, who came from a working-class family. “And I mean everything—a third of my house that she’d always signed quit-claims on, half of my retirement account. She even went after my frequent-flier miles. If she had taken the amount I wanted to settle for, she would have gotten the same as what she eventually did. But instead, she insisted I was hiding money, so hundreds of thousands went to attorneys and forensic accountants.”
Darren’s new wife, who has three children and a prestigious academic career that nevertheless pays a fraction of what he earns, also had a terrible divorce: She had to pay alimony to her deadbeat ex. Yet she felt hurt by Darren’s insistence on the prenup. Life is too full of unknowns, she feels, to draw up a hard-and-fast contract like this. She’d rather rely on love and good faith. And so it stands, four years after their beautiful ceremony, that they are still not legally bound.

Charlize Theron recently sat down for an interview with Elle U.K. where she talked about the gender pay gap in Hollywood. The publication quotes her as follows:
"I have to give them credit because once I asked, they said yet. They diid not fight it. And maybe that's the message: That we just need to put our foot down. This is a good time for us to bring this to a place of fairness, and girls need to know that being a feminist is a good thing. It doesn't mean that you hate men. It means equal rights. If you're doing the same job, you should be compensated and treated in the same way."

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Lock Him Down
This American music artist is engaged. The story behind his new fiancée is… interesting!
Just before getting engaged to our singer, she had a long-time boyfriend in her own country with whom she was seemingly very happy.
“Just a few weeks ago, they were so in love! He’s a nice, normal guy from a regular family, but he worked really hard to give her everything she wanted. For her [most recent] birthday, he spent over $10,000 for a pair of diamond earrings that she wanted! He told her that there was an even bigger diamond coming. She was so excited because she knew that meant he was planning to propose soon!”
Then our girl went on vacation to The United States, where she was introduced to the singer He is twice her age, newly divorced, and (of course) rich and famous. A couple of weeks later… they were engaged!
She flew home and gave her boyfriend the boot.
“She wore a baseball cap pulled down really low. She refused to even look him in the eye. He was crushed.”
Her friends are shocked at how aggressively she went after the singer; how quickly she got him to propose; and how callously she dumped her boyfriend back home.
“A few weeks ago she was excited about marrying [her boyfriend] and having babies with him. Now she’s suddenly marrying this other guy? This isn’t about love! She is doing this for the green card and the chance to marry someone rich and famous. We would not be surprised if she locked him down by getting pregnant as quickly as possible!”
The singer and his new fiancée are now planning their wedding. Congratulations?
