Should Eva Mendes’ sexy Calvin Klein billboard be taken down?

Jane Boursaw — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:53:28 +0000

Actress Eva Mendes sure knows how to stir up controversy. She’s featured in a sexy new billboard for Calvin Klein underwear, and the folks in the neighborhood don’t like it.

The huge ad takes up the entire side of a building on the corner of Houston Street and Lafayette Street in Soho, New York City. Residents there want it taken down.

What do you think? Too sexy for a billboard? And is that guy’s…? I must admit, I’d have to shield my kids’ eyes if we walked by that.

Here it is up close. After the jump, check out the far-away version. Would love comments from someone in that neighborhood.

More after the jump…

Jane Boursaw — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 01:30:00 +0000

I’ve been posting images of the “Sex and the City 2” girls lately, and that’s basically what this clip from CelebTV.com is about. Except for that little blurb about Miley Cyrus being offered a guest role in the movie. Hmmm … wonder what that’s all about. And how she’d fit into the storyline … someone’s sister maybe?

Megan Fox: Michael Bay is an awkward Hitler

Jane Boursaw — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 03:20:00 +0000

That Megan Fox. She’ll say anything, won’t she? At least, she did in a recent interview with Wonderland magazine. Maybe if you look like her, you can get away with anything. Or maybe, she’s just telling the truth when comparing Michael Bay, her director on “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” to Hitler. She says:

“God, I really wish I could go loose on this one. He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for, but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he’s so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. And it’s endearing to watch him.”

So … did she NOT “go loose on this one”? Wonder what she would have said if she had! Here she is, pictured at the 2009-2010 Fall/Winter Armani fashion show. Catch her in “Jennifer’s Body,” in theaters Sept. 18, 2009.

Kristen Stewart Pregnant with Rob’s baby? Or just creating New Moon movie buzz?

Jane Boursaw — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 22:23:05 +0000

In the “Twilight” rumor of the week, the gossip hounds are reporting that Kristen Stewart is pregnant with Rob Pattinson’s baby. Also that she asked a friend to buy a pregnancy test so the paparazzi wouldn’t catch her in the act herself.

Of course, publicists have been known to spread rumors to attract attention to their stars, and Kristen actually mentions that in a Twitter update: “For all I know, my publicist might have done that.”

What’s your take on it? Is she really pregnant? Or are they just trying to create movie buzz for the release of “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” on Nov. 20, 2009. After all, her character Bella Swan DOES get pregnant in the series eventually.

More pics of Bridget Moynahan on the Ramona and Beezus set

Jane Boursaw — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 17:55:06 +0000

I posted a photo last week of Bridget Moynahan on the set of her upcoming movie, “Ramona and Beezus,” based on the popular Beverly Cleary books and scheduled for a March 19, 2010 release.

Moynahan plays Dorothy Quimby, and the movie also stars Selena Gomez as Beezus, Joey King as Ramona, John Corbett as Bob Quimby, and Ginnifer Goodwin as Aunt Bea.

In light of Moynahan’s life in the past year and the sordid details involving Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen, it looks like she’s moving on with her life as best she can, and that’s a good thing.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie – Are the rumors of fighting true? – VIDEO

Jane Boursaw — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 20:35:50 +0000

For my shameless celebrity gossip story of the day, I’m putting the spotlight on mega-stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. It’s rumored that they’re fighting, sharing separate beds, and heading for splitsville. Or, depending on the source, they’re talking marriage and thinking about adopting another child.

One of my questions is, who’s the "inside source" that’s telling the separate bedrooms story? I’m convinced it must be Maddox tipping off the press. Anyway, what do you think? Think the rumors are true? And if so, which ones?!

Patrick Swayze staying positive

Jane Boursaw — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:00:00 +0000

You know what? More power to Patrick Swayze. He says he’s staying positive, despite horrible tabloid reports that he’s nearing the end after his year-long struggle with pancreatic cancer.

Swayze, 56, recently told PEOPLE that he’s continuing with treatment, working on a book, and enjoying his new dog.

“It’s amazing to me that the tabloids such as the National Enquirer print such negative stories about me and my health when there are so many positive things going on in my life right now. I’ve started a new chemotherapy and, once again, I am one of the lucky ones with pancreatic cancer that is responding well to the treatment.”

Swayze says he loves his new 12-week-old Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy named Kumasai, and appreciates the fantastic response he’s getting from everyone on his A&E series “The Beast.”

“I hope in the future, the press will think twice about printing inaccuracies and painting an unpleasant picture when I have so much to be thankful for at this time.” It’s just amazing to me that he’s doing all his own stunts on “The Beast.” You know that can’t be easy in any way, shape or form.

Jen Aniston as a Bond Girl? It’s hard to picture!

Jane Boursaw — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 18:00:00 +0000

Jennifer Aniston says she wants to be a Bond Girl (yeah, don’t we all?), but I’m having a really hard time picturing her in the role.

I mean, Jennifer Aniston is all about the romantic comedies and funny, quirky characters. Not action girls. And definitely not as a romantic interest for James Bond. Especially not the brooding Daniel Craig!

But … she says she’s in for a change. “’I get offered funny, quirky, pretty roles," she told Elle U.K. "I’d love to do an action movie. James Bond! Glamour! Daniel Craig! S—–loads of fun!"

And … she does have the hot bod going for her, too. Not that it isn’t work. “I’m a realist," she says. “I know that if I eat nothing but burgers and chips, I’m not going to be hired for the parts I normally would. That might be fine one day, but not right now." Ok, if you want to be a Bond girl, I say go for it!

Drew Barrymore to Jen Aniston: Dump John Mayer!

Jane Boursaw — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:00:00 +0000

Apparently, Drew Barrymore is just not that into John Mayer. In fact, according to this video from CelebTV, she told her friend Jennifer Aniston to dump him, saying he’s only using her to further his own career.

Personally, I think John Mayer just needs to sort of disappear. Every time I see him, he always seems like he’s trying to be funny or smart or whatever. I mean, I don’t know the guy, but I’m thinking maybe Jen could do better than him, too. Every minute she spends with him is keeping her from her true love. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. And props to Drew Barrymore for speaking her mind.

What do you think? Yes, that’s my shameless celeb question of the day!
