Vanessa Hudgens Describes Herself As Gangster

Vanessa Hudgens used the word ‘gangster’ to describe herself in a recent interview. You may want to take a second to soak that in. I can wait. It’s an interview during which she neglects to also use the words ‘porn star,’ ‘poor life decisions,’ or ‘pap smear,’ any one of which would have made the ‘gangster’ comment less laughable. Hudgens spoke about how she felt more self-confident as she got older. Which is nice, I guess. Specifically asked about the pressure to be thin in Hollywood, she explained she didn’t need to be skinny and would scream an expletive at anyone who asked her to lose weight. ‘I can get very gangster at times,’ she said. ‘I used to be very timid. Now I’m my own person. I don’t feel pressure to look a certain way. My weight fluctuates, like any normal girl. If anyone told me to lose weight, I’d say ‘f**k you’ and walk away.’ I’m not really believing that she’s grown into making better life choices. She’s probably not taking crotch pictures anymore. But quotes such as this really show her age. I guess her resistance to pressure is better than the Kardashian sisters’ method of bemoaning every pound on the cover of Lies&Style/ InTouch. Just not by much.

Kelly Osbourne Promises She’s Not Getting Fat

Kelly Osbourne had spoken about her weight, after she spent the whole of 2010 inhaling for dear life, 1950′s protagonist-style. Or she actually worked out, ate in moderation and handled her weight loss like a responsible adult, serious about long-term health goals. Whatever. Osbourne had also spoken about the weight she lost, during her time on Dancing With The Stars, because DWTS is the new StairMaster. Or the old Shake Weight, if you will. She’s wicked skinny now. And as we all know, in Hollywood, this means she’s now happy and she can snuggle with her skinny jeans each night. Except, it doesn’t. As Osbourne mentioned in the same breath, fellow ingenues stopped being her Blackberry friends; they saw her as a threat for parts in movies they wanted, etc. If the industry sniping isn’t bad enough, the 26-year-old admits she’s got the media scrutinising her current weight. They’re assuming, once people stop paying attention, she’ll put all the weight back on again. ‘For some reason, the media isn’t [happy with my weight],’ she told Us Weekly. ‘[The media keeps] writing that I’m getting fat, and I’m not. I’m the same size.’ Phew. I don’t know about which sites she’s talking. Ones she needs to stop reading, I guess. But I’ve not read anyone calling Osbourne fat. Or pointing out supposed weight she’d gained. Below are the most recent pictures of Osbourne, on April 24, as she attends the Tribeca Film Festival screening of God Bless Ozzy Osbourne at BMCC Tribeca PAC in New York City.

Can We Talk About Khloe Kardashian’s Outfit?

Can we talk about Khloe Kardashian’s outfit? These are pictures of Kardashian and her assistant, wearing coordinating outfits, leaving the Nicki Minaj after party also attended by Britney Spears. The assistant is doing a pretty stellar job of showing how that outfit’s supposed to look. Kardashian, not so much. Here’s the thing: I don’t think Kardashian’s fat. Her mother does. I don’t. However, this is a woman who cannot dress for her body type; tall and curvy. She dresses like she owns no clothes of her own and has to borrow from the wardrobes of her 10 inches shorter and six inches shorter sisters, Kourtney and Kim. The high waist does nothing for her. Nor does the cut of what looks like that American Apparel bathing suit from 2009 (I’m guessing, that could just be a similar shirt or something). It makes her torso short and square. Not cute. Oh, the mom thing. Her mother essentially called her fat on the Khloe & Lamar show. Lamar Odom already called her fat, which was a plot point on Sunday’s episode. A bunch of outlets are more outraged by her mother, who said Kardashian’s instance on eating food, real food with 100% real flavour, made her the family pig. And someone not properly representing QuickTrim; a product Jezebel.com notes is not FDA-approved (not that the Kardashians care, so long as the cheque clears), and has horrible side effects. ‘Can we have a little chat about QuickTrim… I just think the way you are presenting yourself in the media is a little off-base and I feel like you and I need to have a chat about what you are doing to the brand,’ says Kris Jenner. To which Kardashian replies, ‘Excuse me, what am I doing to the brand? And how am I presenting myself to the media?’ Jenner responds, ‘You don’t care and it’s very very upsetting to me because I’ve worked so hard at creating what I think is a great deal for you girls and you’re not pulling your end of the weight. I feel like you could not chat about how many cookies you’re eating in between meals to the media.’ Kardashian’s retort, ‘To tell me I’m ruining a whole brand because of my weight gain makes me feel like s**t. Get over yourself. You’re such a f**king raging lunatic and you’re so evil.’ Remember, Jenner is the woman who admitted she wishes she had more children to pimp.

Kirstie Alley Claims She’s Almost A Size Six

Kirstie Alley must be making the world’s latest April Fool’s Day joke, claiming to have lost the weight of two Range Rovers in one season of Dancing With The Stars. The actress and reality star is one of the contestants on a show I’m thrilled to say I’ve never watched. I don’t even think I’ve ever seen a clip. It’s just another derivative reality show; the American version of the UK’s Strictly Come Dancing, which I’ve also been happily ignoring. Well, I guess at least three people who aren’t me watch the show and so she took breaks shilling for her $cientology-based diet plan to clumsily Foxtrot on primetime television. That’s the same logic that led her to reveal, earlier in the week, that she’d been starving herself in order to lose more weight. Now, she’s taking her lies a step further, claiming to have gone down several dress sizes. ‘I started out in a size 12, then an 8, and then I think next week I’ll be in a 6,’ the 60-year-old said after her performance Monday night. ‘The real size I want to be in is probably a 4 or a 6. That’s where I look best.’ Because the cake is a lie, she totally bluffed her starting size too, right? A size 12 is about a UK size 16 and there’s no way she was even that small. She was probably closer to our size 18. Now she looks, in recent pictures I’ve seen, closer to our 14. Which is still impressive, but, yeah, like I said. The cake. Below are the most recent pictures of Alley, to which I have access… her leaving Dancing With The Stars rehearsals on April 13. That’s one week ago. When, following her logic, she was an American size 8-10. I think.

If GOOP Gave Birth To Anal Glee Cast Members

I watched this commercial just to see what it was; not being familiar with the campaign. It’s what is, broadly-speaking, a cute commercial for Nike something blar blar I don’t care about with Glee’s Lea Michele. For those not following, Michele’s the most notable cast member who’s making a name for herself. She’s a child star with a Broadway background, like most of the cast. And she sung America The Beautiful at the Super Bowl. And she’s in this commercial. She’s a counter-intuitive choice. She’s not very sporty. But maybe that’s the point. She walks onto a stage and ‘works out.’ Except she’s not. She’s, like, warming up really slowly. Like she has joint pain. And she’s prepping for old lady exercises. In any case, I watched and my second thought after thinking she needed Cod Liver Oil in her life was she’s GOOP Paltrow’s long-lost daughter. She’s in that same class of people who bemoans being ‘plain,’ or whatever. And then makes some throw-away and rather snotty-sounding comment that makes people think she’s anal-retentive. Which is where she is now. Actually, maybe why she’s so stiff.

Kimora Lee Didn’t Starve Self To Lose 25 Lbs

Kimora Lee has reacted to a story published on PopEater.com in which she’s supposedly giving direct quotes to the website’s main gossip guy, Rob Shuter.

I’m going to preface this by saying Shuter has been accused of lying before; by Joe Simpson, after an unflattering story ran about daughter Ashlee Simpson, ‘Rob Shuter is still bitter because I fired him as our PR guy. He still has a problem with the truth.’ That out of the way, he’s being accused again of fabricating a sensationalist story. This time, it’s a little more serious than allegations Joe Simpson has a crush on another of his daughters; it was alleged Lee lost 25 pounds by starving herself. More specifically, it was alleged she made the claim shamelessly during an interview with Shuter; something she claims never happened and remaining quotes were taken out of context. ‘I have shed the fat by not eating,’ Lee was alleged to have ‘flat-out’ told Shuter. ‘But I don’t like to tell the kids that so they think they shouldn’t eat. No, I watch my portions, and I eat leaner proteins and vegetables and stuff like that.’ In another quote, she’s alleged to have essentially bragged about skipping meals. ‘So I woke up this morning and ordered breakfast at 4 AM. I had egg whites scrambled, spinach, turkey bacon and a glass of orange juice,’ she said, allegedly noting she skipped lunch. ‘The reason I had such a big breakfast is because I hadn’t eaten in two days. I’ve had fruit, I’ve had a smoothie, I’ve had a protein bar, but it’s not like I’ve had Doritos.’ Concerned that fans would see this as endorsement of an irresponsible and unhealthy eating patten, Lee defended herself on her blog.
