Lindsay Lohan: I’ve Never Blamed Paparazzi

Lindsay Lohan is off formal probation. About which I mostly forgot, and slept through, since I didn’t feel like watching braless contrition. Turns out I was right to skip it, since little happened except the judge pointed out Lohan’s celebrity and the implications it has for Lohan’s obligation to obey all laws especially until mid-2014 whens she’s off informal probation. Here are some photos of Lohan, wearing Givenchy, Celine, and The Row, going into and sitting in court. Along with video of Lohan being cleared, while at 00:28 in the first video her lawyer’s eyelids flicker with ‘She’s ’bout choo!’ at the mention of Lohan’s clubbing and acting out in public. There’s also video of Lohan phoning in to TMZ Live, where she admitted the site is quicker than her lawyer at relaying court-based information when the hosts told her the Canada work permit came through and Lohan had no idea. In the TMZ Live video, Lohan says she’s never blamed paparazzi for her problems. Except that’s a lie, because she blamed them for the hit-and-run: ‘I attempted to wish a friend happy birthday, which I didn’t even get to do because I was freaked out by all of the paparazzi,’ and a few years back when she drunk fell and blamed the paps for pushing her: ‘If anyone caused me to nearly fall it was the pyschotic paparazzi…’ Can she stay out of trouble?

The Hunger Games Kids Know About The Racism

Although some hoped the younger actors in the film would somehow overlook this information or be shielded from it, one guesses that the media has been filling them in and questioning them about it incessantly since the news broke that neophytes/ skim-readers have been saying horrible racist things about the casting in the movie. I won’t regurgitate it all, because it’s spoilery. But there’s whining about the casting of someone White playing Katniss. And there’s loud racist ranting on Twitter about the casting of Rue, Thresh, and Cinna when the former two of whom are described as dark-skinned in the books. Asked about the racism aimed at her in particular, Amandla Stenberg, 13, who plays little Rue, replied: ‘As a fan of the books, I feel fortunate to be part of The Hunger Games family. It was an amazing experience; I am proud of the film and my performance. I want to thank all of my fans and the entire Hunger Games community for their support and loyalty.’ Isabelle Fuhrman, 15, also of Orphan-fame, was a little more explicit: ‘I think Amandla was fantastic in it, and she’s so beautiful… I think it’s just terrible. She’s such an amazing actress and she’s so sweet. I guess people read things differently and imagine things different, but I think she was the perfect choice for Rue.’ In other news, I hate people.

Jennifer Lawrence Braless Rolling Stone Cover

Jennifer Lawrence is selling you The Hunger Games while wearing a white, sheer shirt and no bra because this franchise will end up earning billions and she’s contractually-obligated to show nip (I’m not imagining that, you can see through her shirt right?) Well, Lawrence appears to have most people sold. If you don’t account for the people annoyed a non-Native girl played Katniss (IDK), or the other racists distracted by the casting. Oh, and she was too blonde before she dyed her hair to stem the backlash. And she’s not literally starving, which concerned some purists who thought her too fat to play the lead in such a self-explanatory movie. For example, The Hollywod Reporter noted the 21-year-old’s ‘lingering baby fat.’ Salon noted she looked ‘well-fed’ and ‘too fat’ throughout. Variety said the starvation theme ‘barely even seems to register’ because of the cast’s looks. Hollywood Elsewhere called Lawrence a ‘fairly tall, big-boned lady,’ too big to act opposite Josh Hutcherson, 19, and shorter than Lawrence’s 5 foot 7 inches and Liam Hemsworth’s 6 foot 5 inches. Elsewhere adds Hemsworth, a ‘six-footer or thereabouts, has no problem on this score.’ Conversely, Hemsworth had to lose some weight although he wasn’t asked so much as given a trainer by producers. Stunned, he asked Thor actor brother Chris Hemsworth who concurred, noting it’s ‘called The Hunger Games, not The Eating Games.’

Jessica Simpson Can’t Wear Heels Anymore

With only a month to go before she delivers a 10-pound baby, having gained 60-pounds, Jessica Simpson has reportedly conceded that flats would be better since, as she told Jay Leno mid-March, ‘It’s a tough thing here and I’m wearing six inch heels, it’s a lot of weight to carry on six inches.’ And now a source tells Us Weekly that Simpson will spend the final month of her pregnancy in flats even though she joked back in November: ‘I’m probably going to deliver my baby in [4-inch YSL heels].’ An onlooker overheard Simpson this week saying: ‘Only one month to go! I can’t wear heels anymore. I tried but it was too hard. Wearing heels is like a religion to me, so it’s tough!’ Simpson is due mid-to-late April.

Victoria Beckham Harper’s Bazaar UK May 2012

Victoria Beckham covers Harper’s Bazaar UK a second time, although it’s matter of public record that she’s still not important enough for American Vogue. This is the May 2012 issue, for which the 37-year-old wears Prada’s Spring/Summer collection as shot by Deputy Editor Camilla Akrans (this is one of Akrans’ final shoots for the magazine, and her replacement openly dislikes Beckham and would probably never concede to another cover or the full creative control afforded Beckham for this issue). Very busy, but beautifully-styled and otherwise put together, this is probably why Beckham has been getting papped so much lately. Not just for her appearances for fashion week, but to keep her name out there for the Vogue profile and this cover. Her interview and shoot are below.
