Then one day we both looked at each other and said ‘I want a baby!’ As usual, we were on the same page and it all just seemed right.

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Bill Cosby All Over Again
Remember when comedian Hannibal Buress talked about Bill Cosby during a standup routine and reignited the discussion of his abuse of women over the years?
A similar scenario may be ready to play out with a couple of different players!
A gay comedic actor is now “joking” about a very famous producer who has long been rumored to prey on young male actors.
"We absolutely gasped when we heard it! There is an unwritten rule that you NEVER mention his name out loud. I mean, everybody knows about him and how he operates, but you NEVER fucking call him out on it, because there are dozens of people involved and a lot of careers could be affected. If he wants a career, he’d better retract his comments, or this could be Bill Cosby all over again."
It will be interesting to see if anyone else starts chimes in… joking or not.

The Hollywood Reporter's Drama Actors Roundtable
The Hollywood Reporter recently gathered Rami Malek, Cuba Gooding Jr., Bobby Cannavale, Paul Giamatti, Forest Whitake, and Wagner Moura for a drama actors roundtable interview. Here are some of the highlights:
The industry often locks into viewing actors in certain roles and is not always interested in seeing them stretch. What parts have you found yourselves getting tired of being approached about?
CUBA GOODING JR.
"After I did Boyz N the Hood, I got every street-kid offer. I chose one, Gladiator, which was a boxing movie, but still a street kid. Then after that I told myself no more, and I wound up playing a deaf-mute in a Western called Lightning Jack only because it was different than anything else. I just didn't want to be the go-to street-kid guy."
RAMI MALEK
"In the breakdowns, I'd always just look for someone quirky or weird — that's what I'm going to go in for, surely. I resented it for a while, and then I thought, "This is something to be proud of, that you can be that kind of outsider in anything." But at first I was like, "Here we go again.""
FOREST WHITAKER
"I've played a lot of detectives."
PAUL GIAMATTI
"I've played a lot of guys sitting in vans with headsets on, watching reel-to-reel tape. I did a lot of this (puts hands to his ears): "We lost him." I was that guy. Or this guy (typing): "Get out of there, Mike. Mike? Get out of there, Mike. Oh my God, he can't hear me!" (Laughter.)"
Are there doors you feel remain closed to you? Parts you just can't land, despite interest on your end?
BOBBY CANNAVALE
"White guys. (Laughter.) Cowboys. I'm always getting the ethnic roles of some kind, like a mob guy or an Italian-American pizza guy or some shit like that. I never get, like, doctors."
GIAMATTI
"I'd love to play an Italian. I am Italian, and I never get to play Italians. I've had people tell me I'm not Italian enough. It's hilarious."
MALEK
"We get all the Italian guys. (Points to Cannavale.)"
GIAMATTI
"I'd love to be in a Western, but I know if I'm in a Western I'm going to have to play this guy (wiping the table), "What'ya havin'?" I'm going to be that guy. Or I'd be the corrupt mayor, the guy who's building a railroad through somebody's farm. (Laughter.)"
What are the things you have each read in a script and said, "You know what, I'm not going to do that"?
WAGNER MOURA
"Kids suffering. I just can't do those scenes."
MALEK
"A rape, unless it's really purposeful or for a director you appreciate. But that's a difficult thing to be in a situation to have to do with someone. Most of the time with us, though, it's the scary stuff that draws us to the role."
GIAMATTI
"I've been offered some real psychopathic parts, things that are just brutally violent, and I don't care to do it unless there is some real reason for it."
WHITAKER
"If I'm a really dark character, I do sometimes consider if I want to live in that space for that length of time."
GIAMATTI
"That's actually more of what it is with some of these things I've been offered. I'm like, "I don't want to play that serial killer.""
GOODING
"I'll do absolutely anything, but it wasn't always that way. I remember sitting with the director of Six Degrees of Separation [Fred Schepisi], and he said: "I want to know that you're committed to doing this role. There is this scene where he kisses a man." And I said, "Listen, when I get into character I go all the way in — and I'm not comfortable with it, I'll be honest with you." Now I see how childish it was to think that way, but as a young black actor in L.A. who represented the manliness of that time period, I just felt, "Oh, I'm going to alienate people." [Will Smith ultimately landed the role.] Then you grow up and realize how immature it was to think that way."

Audrina Patridge Talks Wedding
Audrina Patridge recently spoke to Fit Pregnancy about her upcoming wedding to fiancé Corey Bohan. Here's what she had to say:
"I didn't want to rush getting married, because stress is bad for the baby. I was a little worried about people judging me for it, but Corey wasn't. He said, 'Stop caring what people think. Their opinions don't matter.' Anyway, we've already been together for so long, it's like we're already married. It's just a title at this point—and a ring. We just finalized the guest list, and it's about 130 people, mostly family. As far as friends go, we only invited the ones who've been there for us in the past year and who will continue to be there for us for the next 30. So, no one from The Hills made the cut. If we were doing a really big wedding, I'd invite them, but we're keeping it intimate."
On honeymoon plans:
"If we take a honeymoon, we're definitely bringing [our daughter]—and my little sister, so she can watch the baby while we go out to dinner or snorkel," she shares. "I'm so lucky I'm so close to my family. If I had to hire a stranger to babysit, I'd probably freak out."

Zoe Saldana Praises Science Fiction's Roles for Women
Zoe Saldana recently sat down for an interview with Cnet, where she talked about her experiences working in Science Fiction movies. Here's what she had to say:
“If I wasn’t doing these sci-fi movies, I would be at the mercy of filmmakers that would just look my way if they need a girlfriend or sexy woman of color in their movie. Space is different…but we can still do better. We can still give women more weight to carry in their roles.”
Why do you think sci-fi as a genre offers women more-interesting characters?
"It allows you to experiment with other roles besides someone’s girlfriend, someone’s mother, someone’s wife, someone’s victim. No matter how big or small your part may be, you feel much more relevant in space. You’re helping the whole crew save the day. You’re translating alien languages as opposed to being the one that encourages [someone else] to win the day."
You said you really enjoyed working with directors James Cameron and J.J. Abrams because of the way they portray women.
"James Cameron is one of those rare men in the film industry that really isn’t threatened by women. He lets you know with the characters he creates that he does spend time thinking about why women are who they are, why they think the way they do. He is aware of the sacrifices and how hard-working women can be — Sarah Connor [in “The Terminator”], Rose [in “Titanic”].
Jamie Lee Curtis’ role in “True Lies” was a-mazing. She wasn’t a victim. It wasn’t like she found out [mock crying], “My God, you’re, like, a spy. I don’t know what to do.”
She was like, “Oh fuck, my husband’s a spy. I’m gonna fucking spy myself. I’m gonna get to where his mission is. I’m gonna fuck his mission up and I’m gonna tell him, ‘You are in big trouble cuz you lied.’”
I love that. She gets to discover that she is a badass machine and she can save her family just like her man saves every mission he does. I get goose bumps. I really do.
J.J. Abrams — look at the role he created in the new “Star Wars.” It’s through the eyes of a female and we’re not gonna compromise the strength of the movie. We’re not gonna compromise her bravery. It’s like, you guys still have your testosterone-driven PEW! PEW! PEW! [pretends to fire a blaster] and it’s gonna be a girl that’s doing it.
Filmmakers like J.J. Abrams and James Cameron — they’re practicing what they preach, and they’re having their art imitate the life that they see and the utopia they would like to bring to life. And they let you be as collaborative, as suggestive, as opinionated, as passionate…I don’t work to make friends; I don’t work to be liked. I work to bring a character to life, to walk away not feeling that I’m a disappointment in myself. That I gave it my all.
When I’m met on the other side by a filmmaker that sees that, recognizes that and has a duel with me, I feel really seen. I feel like I matter. And for an artist and also for a woman, that sometimes can be everything, because we don’t feel like we matter in a lot of things."

Tamara Tattles Blind Item - Hoodwinked And Not By A Twink This Time
This housewife’s inexplicable longevity on a certain show is more complicated than viewers think. Aside from the obvious fact (to all from the south) that she is a FRAUD, it is easy to see that one influential gay man is enamored with someone he may or may not have had contact with prior to his prison stint.
He continues to have interaction with that man’s son (Son? Aren’t there supposed to be two???) on numerous occasions that go above and beyond what he has done with the multitudes of other spawn on “his” franchises.
But this chick is GOOD.
I heard she wormed her way into her boss’ house! This is unheard of. The OG Very Rich Bitch has never been invited there!
A couple of Yankee housewives have been there, but she is the only one from the show her that boss considers a “monkey act” (quote from those in the know) let in. Somehow misogyny and racism is just written off by black women when it comes to this guy.
My sources say this dude is dying for a Big Three network position as a host. For one thing, there is no Big Three anymore. And he really wants to cohost with his “good friend” but my sources say he will never work in daytime TV. And while he salivates for it, he is BEGGING networks for night-time TV hosting gigs. But he has done himself in according to my sources.
Anyway, this blind is not about him. It’s about the putrid excuse of a mother who successfully wormed her way into her boss’ apartment WHILE UNDER CONSTRUCTION! I wonder what happened there? Probably something unholy. This bitch is trying to set herself up to be the next Al Sharpton.
And that sort of goal tells us all we need to know.
Expect to see her on next season’s show. Some are dumber than a box of hammers. Not her. But we are laughing at him more than ever in the ATL.

But that’s happening less and less now...When we’re in New York and just walking with them, I feel so happy. Like, these are my boys, I’m walking down the street with my boys. That makes me proud. Then a TMZ reporter will come over, shove a microphone in my face, and then Eddie will go, ‘Do you know this guy?’ and then the reporter will leave and Isaac will go [mimics extreme sarcasm voice], ‘Oooo, is that one of your fans? Do they want your photo?’ They are as sarcastic as I am which is terrifying...Having a second [child] is a lot of work. But you’re creating a playmate for your first one so, eventually it’s an investment that pays you back.”

Well, guess what our star is doing? Dating a married man!
That’s not all. The man is the husband of one of her closest friends!
For the past year, our star pretended that they were just long-time friends and he was helping her with some business deals. Nope. They were having a full-blown affair!
"[The Wife] never saw it coming. She has been friends with [Reality Star] for decades, and she never thought that she would make a play for [The Husband]. The three of them actually had dinner together late last year, and [The Wife] didn’t suspect a thing. She feels totally betrayed by both of them and is absolutely devastated."
Of course the reality star and the cheating husband will play it like they were both separated from their respective spouses and were just friends before they suddenly realized that they were in love. Just know when you hear it that it’s a lie.

“I didn’t understand the debilitating consequence of having no sleep. It becomes a tsunami. I was in a void. I didn’t want to let down the audience, the theatre, playwright or the actors. “Letting go of all that was the hardest part but I realised the work that I really needed to do was more important than the play – it was work or my sanity...I have my own voice on social media, where I can say: ‘If you’re interested in what really happened, the whole story is more complex than being disease of the week’, than someone saying, ‘I have this battle’...Coming back to the US, I hadn’t slept for 48 hours and had to wait six hours to get my 18-year-old cat through customs. When the customers officer said: ‘So how much is your cat worth?’ I couldn’t stop laughing hysterically."
On starting cognitive behavior therapy to help with the insomnia:
“It’s like putting on a pair of sneakers and going into your past to get a new perspective. And I was gentle with myself. So last Christmas wasn’t about friends and relations; it was a monastic experience of trying to delve.”
Variety Blind Item - Which Two Series Replaced Kerry Washington?
Hollywood is no stranger to stereotype casting. “Scandal’s” Kerry Washington and “Master of None” star and executive producer Aziz Ansari have come face to face with this reality on multiple occasions throughout their careers. The actors swapped nightmare stories during a sit-down for Variety‘s fourth season of “Actors on Actors.”
“Before ‘Scandal,’ I was actually cast in two other pilots. Both went to series, but I was fired and recast,” Washington said. “For both, it was because they wanted me to sound more ‘girlfriend,’ more like ‘hood,’ more ‘urban.'”
While Washington experienced the repercussions of not fitting a certain stereotype, she soon discovered that it wasn’t exclusive to racial cliches.
“I definitely feel like I’m at that point where it’s nice to not have to sit at home and wait to be invited to the party, but to be creating work for yourself,” Washington added.

In preparing to film a dramatic scene for a film, this actress found that abusing the other actors and breaking things in anger did not come naturally to her.
While she was eventually able to draw upon her own experiences with an ex-boyfriend in order to complete the scene, she found herself apologizing to her costar and her director for her behavior.
"The scene where I trash my dressing room was my last scene. I remember my first boyfriend used to smash everything – at eighteen, everything is dramatic.
I took an Evian bottle and tried to break it really meekly. [The director] made fun of me… even in that dressing room scene I was like, “Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!”
I wrote to [my costar] and got her something when I had finished filming, saying, “I’m so sorry I had to say all those horrible things.”"
The ex-boyfriend to whom she is referring is a famous actor with a penchant for breaking and throwing things in anger.
We’ll bet she’s thankful that relationship didn’t last forever!

Don't worry, the whole interview wasn't Kim-centric; Mirren also had this to say:
"When I was growing up, it was thought to be unbelievably sluttish to even have a bra strap showing. Everything was about women conforming. I love shameless women. Shameless and proud! Women were controlled by being shamed, so I love women who have claimed their own bodies: Madonna, Chrissie Hynde, Joan Jett, Bonnie Raitt. I love Pussy Riot more than anything in the world.

Renée Zellweger recently sat down for an interview with British Vogue, where she opened up about taking a break from the public eye for the past few years. Here's what she had to say:
"I found anonymity, so I could have exchanges with people on a human level and be seen and heard, not be defined by this image that precedes me when I walk into a room. You cannot be a good storyteller if you don't have life experiences, and you can't relate to people...As a creative person, saying no to that wonderful once-in-a-lifetime project is hard. But I was fatigued and wasn't taking the time I needed to recover between projects, and it caught up with me. I got sick of the sound of my own voice: it was time to go away and grow up a bit."
On revisiting the role of Bridget Jones:
"I put on a few pounds. I also put on some breasts and a baby bump. Bridget is a perfectly normal weight and I've never understood why it matters so much. No male actor would get such scrutiny if he did the same thing for a role."
