Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian launching the ‘Kardashian Beauty Hair’ line at Marionnaud in Paris yesterday. Her dress is all one piece, in case you were wondering. There’s a cut-out at the waist and the top and bottom are connected at the sides, then there’s a tie-back. Overall, this kind of dress is made for someone built like Taylor Swift. We’re supposed to be able to see the cut-out, and the faux-bandeau is supposed to “sit up” a lot higher than we’re seeing on Kim. So, basically, another styling failure. Why does Kim always make it so complicated? Granted, it’s more difficult to dress someone curvy AND short. But Kim makes it so much harder on herself. Here’s my something nice: I don’t hate the fabric at all. If this had straps and no waist cut-out, this might have been a good look.

Here are some other Kimye stories percolating through the system:

*There was a rumor that Kim and Kanye were going to renew their vows in Paris. We’re coming up on their first wedding anniversary and while I’m sure it’s going to get crazy and superficial, Gossip Cop says that Kimye will not be renewing their vows in Paris. Sad.

*I’m starting to wonder what Kim and Kanye will wear to the Met Gala. They’ve gone to the Met Gala two years in a row – I’m sure they’ll be going this year. And I’m sure that Kim’s dress is going to be hideous.

*Various media outlets are running “exclusive first looks” at Kim’s book of selfies. These first looks are nothing special if you spend any time looking at Kim’s Instagram.

*You know how Kim and Kanye had North baptized in Israel this week, and Kimye went to dinner with the mayor of Jerusalem and there were photos? Well, “ultra-orthodox” media outlets edited Kim from the photos. Because she’s a p0rn star. Seriously.

FFN_Mortensen_Viggo_GTRES_021915_51657779

It’s always a good day when I get to write about Viggo Mortensen. And surprisingly, this story isn’t all about some movie I’ll never watch or about Viggo’s political views (okay, it’s not ENTIRELY about his politics). Viggo is (still) promoting his film Far From Men, which he’s been hyping at various film festivals for months now. The film got a VOD release and it will have a limited theatrical release on May 1. But really, Viggo is great because even when he’s promoting a particular film, he rarely stays on-message and ends up talking about lots of different things. Like how he was offered Wolverine in the first X-Men movie. Like what he thinks of the murder of Walter Scott. You can read the full interview here. Some highlights:

Viggo was offered Wolverine: “I was offered Wolverine, actually, for the first movie—I guess it would’ve been for the franchise then. That was just before I got Lord of the Rings. I was flattered. I remember going to that meeting with the director, Bryan Singer, with my son who was a total comic book expert. He was about 10 at the time. Henry came, and Singer showed us all these models and storyboards, and Henry was instructing the director, saying, “Oh, you’re going to change this thing right here.” I believe it coincided with another project, and I couldn’t do it.”

He was offered other big films: “Every once in a while I’m offered something like that. I was offered two different parts in the last Superman movie they made [Man of Steel], but I wasn’t available to do that either. And The Huntsman in Snow White and the Huntsman, which isn’t a comic book but is almost like a comic book…. They changed it a lot. When they offered it to me, it was a different story and seemed more justified to be called Snow White and the Huntsman. The movie they ended up making should have been called Snow White and the Wicked Witch. The original script was a lot funnier and there was a longer apprenticeship. It was almost like The African Queen a little bit.”

On the murder of Walter Scott: “South Carolina. Yes, I’ve been following it. That was great what happened there, that he was caught on video, but let’s see what they do. Look at what happened in Ferguson or Staten Island, where the guy was choked to death. That was all caught on a phone, but the guy wasn’t even taken to trial! Because all these things have been happening, it’s going to be hard for that police department in Charleston to let the guy get away with it.

Privacy, technology: “What Edward Snowden has warned about is the equivalent of what George Orwell was warning about, and I think that documentary Citizenfour is equivalent to 1984 in its importance. And I think Snowden is like Winston Smith—the character who fights Big Brother. There are serious issues with it, not just the trivial, “Get out of my face with that camera, it’s so irritating,” but it can also be good. I think young people are also learning things very fast, and if they want to, it’s good for getting out the vote and making people conscious of what’s going on, but they’re great tools to inform.”

[From The Daily Beast]

Viggo also goes on a lengthy discussion about social media, saying that it bugs him that people aren’t “present” in the world, that they’re always checking in with social media and all of that. He says he doesn’t believe Instagram, Twitter and Facebook are the end of civilization, but they need to be used differently and people need to be able to take a break from them.

I’m surprised that Viggo is so open with discussing the films he’s passed on – I honestly didn’t know he was up for Wolverine, or Man of Steel, or Snow White and the Huntsman. He would have made an interesting Wolverine, but I’m not sure Viggo would have stuck with the character like Hugh Jackman has. What was Viggo offered in Man of Steel? I could see him getting offers for Jor-El (Russell Crowe) or General Zod (Michael Shannon). That’s just my theory, I don’t know what he was offered. But I’m glad he refused SWATH. That would have been bad.

When Gwyneth Paltrow is criticized, she usually doubles-down. Like, she can’t even believe that the peasantry has the audacity to question her about ANYTHING, so she goes overboard in justifying or explaining herself. But not this time. Gwyneth has literally done the least amount of work involved with the Food Bank Challenge or the SNAP Challenge or whatever we’re calling it. She proudly posted a photo of what $29 worth of food stamps would get you at the grocery store (so many limes!) and… that was it. She posted that photo on April 9th. She abandoned the challenge within days (if not hours). She went out to lunch with friends over the weekend, and now People reports that Gwyneth and her boyfriend went out for a romantic dinner of veal tongue and rabbit legs (?????).

Gwyneth Paltrow and producer Brad Falchuk took their romance tableside on Tuesday. The actress, 42, and the Glee co-creator, 44, dined at the L.A. restaurant Animal, which featured a barbecue-themed menu on Tuesday of pig ears, veal tongue and fried rabbit legs.

“They were sitting together, very cozy and romantic,” says the observer at the eatery. “He was totally rapt by everything she was saying. They were totally on a date.”

The dinner followed Paltrow’s announcement on April 9 that she had accepted the Food Bank for New York City challenge to bring attention to the struggles faced by families that live on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamps, which Congress has slashed twice during the past 18 months. It’s unclear whether Paltrow is still participating in the campaign, which involves living off a $29 food-stamp budget for a week, or $1.38 per meal.

[From People]

It’s not “unclear”. Gwyneth is not doing the challenge, if she ever was. And that truly surprises me – I figured Gwyneth would devote a Goop-post to her “challenge” and tell us all how she managed to make some lovely lime-soaked rice (or something) and it was amazing and obviously that means she’s so much better at all of this than the (fat) peasants. Instead, she gave up and just phoned it in. “Darling, just take a photo of some limes, I’m going to lunch with my lover.”

After I wrote that ^^ Page Six published their version of the same story, only they got Goop’s rep to say: “She already finished the challenge last week but only got around to posting the photo of the groceries on [Thursday].” So, basically, it’s what I said – Gwyneth only posted a photo of what she thought $29 worth of food looked like and then went on with her life. Page Six also noted that at this fancy BBQ event, it didn’t even seem like Gwyneth ate anything, despite the fact that she likely spent $85 just to attend.

Meanwhile, Gwyneth got HEAPS of criticism for even deigning to pay lip service to this challenge. The NY Post had a scathing essay about Gwyneth pretending to be poor, like she’s Marie Antoinette. Even Time Magazine called it “poverty tourism” and declared the whole Gooptastrophe to be “gross.”

Jemima Kirke

Jemima Kirke (of Girls) wishes to open a discussion on abortion. This is a surprisingly common medical procedure, but many women never tell. According to Planned Parenthood, 3 out of 10 U.S. women will have an abortion before they turn 45. Yet no one talks about it because the associated stigma is huge. There’s one clinic in my state, and the building is constantly surrounded by protestors. And that’s only the public side of things. The private shame of women who have abortions leads to them keeping it almost a complete secret.

Jemima opened up in a PSA for the Center for Reproductive Rights. Jemima (now 29) discusses how she had an abortion at age 22. She was a college student at the time and couldn’t support a child. She doesn’t regret her decision, but she does lament the stigma surrounding reproductive rights. Jemima hopes for a less politicized treatment of these rights when her daughters grow older. It’s not looking good in that regard. Oklahoma and Kansas just passed more restrictions on abortion, and who knows what other states will join them. Here’s the transcript of Jemima’s PSA:

“In 2007, I became pregnant with my boyfriend at the time. I wasn’t sure that I wanted to be attached to this person for the rest of my life. My life was just not conducive to raising a healthy, happy child. I just didn’t feel it was fair. So I decided to get an abortion, and I went to Planned Parenthood in Providence, Rhode Island where I was at school. Because I couldn’t tell my mother that I was pregnant, I had to pay for it out of pocket. I did have to empty my checking account, what I had in there, and get some from my boyfriend. I realized that if I didn’t take the anesthesia, I would be able to afford to do this. And the anesthesia wasn’t that much more, but when you’re scrounging for however many hundreds of dollars, it is a lot. I just didn’t have it. It’s these obstacles, and it’s the stigma that makes these things not completely unavailable, and that’s the tricky part. We think that we do have free choice, and we are able to do whatever we want, but there’s these little hoops we have to jump through to get there.

I’ve always felt that reproductive issues should be something that women especially should be able to talk about freely, especially amongst each other. And I still see that today. I still see shame and embarrassment around terminating pregnancies, getting pregnant, I still see it. So I have always been open about my stories. Always shared them, especially with other women. I have two daughters, actually. I have a step daughter who’s 8 and I have my younger one who is 4. I’m already anticipating their issues with self esteem, their issues with their body, the whole luggage that comes with being a woman. So I would love that, when they’re older, when they’re in their teens and 20s, that the political issues surrounding their bodies are not there anymore … I would hate to see them fight for rights.”

[From Center for Reproductive Rights on YouTube]

Jemima isn’t complaining about the price of an abortion. She simply had trouble affording one as a college student; and she wishes the stigma of abortion wasn’t so great that she couldn’t tell her own mom. (Not incidentally, E! did some research on the clinic Jemima used. The prices range from $500-800 with sedation costing more. Nowadays, RU-486 is usually cheaper than a surgical abortion but not by much.)

Aside from the cost, more and more restrictions are being passed on abortion, which will only increase the difficulty of getting one. Jemima’s correct — if women are supposedly free to choose, then why are there so many restrictions?

Here’s Jemima’s PSA video.

I’ve been a little bit worried about Jeremy Renner. The promotional tour for The Avengers: Age of Ultron has started, and I’m worried that Renner is going to get a lot of questions about the situation with Sonni Pacheco, his now estranged wife (they’re not divorced yet, but they will be soon enough). After all the sketchiness that’s gone down – much of it public! – how could Renner possibly avoid those questions? Turns out, I completely underestimated the ability of friendly media outlets to whitewash the whole situation. So far, Renner hasn’t been asked about it at all. Instead, he gets to answer questions from Ellen DeGeneres about how much he loves being a dad to daughter Ava Berlin.

Chatting with Ellen DeGeneres for an episode of her talk show airing Wednesday, April 15, Jeremy Renner joked that fatherhood had essentially ruined him for everything else in life.

“It is the greatest thing in the world. I mean, it really kind of changed my perspective on a lot of things,” Renner, 44, told the comedienne, adding that his little girl is at a “great age” and “talking a lot.”

“It’s kind of screwed my career in a lot of ways,” he quipped. “Because I don’t really care about it so much ’cause I care about her so much. She’s like number one in my life. And now I get to do movies on the side. Daddy’s my best role to date, I think.” After a round of applause from the audience, he cracked, “And all I had to do was have sex. That’s amazing.”

The one drawback? Constant traveling. “I do a lot of flights back [when I’m working],” he explained. “I did like 40 flights back from London to here pretty much every other week to see her, sometimes for eight hours, and then [I] fly back.”

Fortunately, little Ava has plenty of other relatives to keep her company when Renner is away. As the actor revealed to DeGeneres, he’s the oldest of seven kids — the youngest of whom is the same age as his daughter!

“My dad had my brother the same week I had my daughter,” he shared. “So it’s kind of like my dad’s having his own grandkids…I mean, it bodes well for me, I guess. I can still, you know, make things happen later on in life.”

[From Us Weekly]

Yes, Renner’s dad just welcomed his seventh kid the same week Renner welcomed Ava Berlin. I get the feeling that Renner’s family is pretty much all-over-the-place, you know? Compared to the rest of his family, Renner’s relatively sane and successful. As for Renner positioning himself as a devoted father who would take 40 London-to-LA trips so he could see his daughter on the weekends? Smart. He’s positioning himself well for an extended custody battle, if it comes to that.

Christoph Waltz

Christoph Waltz covers the May issue of British GQ to promote his role in Spectre. He’s such a sharp-dressed man! You can see the rest of the shoot here, and it’s pretty amazing. Waltz can pull off the shoot’s styling whereas other actors would look ridiculous. I’ve never seen him look less than impeccable (whether he’s wearing a suit or jeans). Even when he’s pseudo-grumpily eating a hamburger, the dude has style.

This interview isn’t groundbreaking, but there are glimpses of Waltz’s whimsical ways. He’s got a lovely personality although most of his Hollywood roles have been villains. GQ even calls him “the coolest Bond villain ever.” That may be true, we’ll see. (I still have a soft spot for Le Chiffre, the villain played by Mads Mikkelsen.) Everyone reckons that Waltz will play the classic Bond villain named Blofeld, but Waltz says that isn’t true. He also talks about the rewards of being a late acting bloomer:

On hesitating before accepting a Bond villain: “I did, yes. I always hesitate … You ask yourself, hang on: what James Bond are we talking about? The thing about Spectre is that it is not the work of hack writers. It does not have a hack director. The actors are not hams. The action sequences in Mexico are extravagant to say the least. The scenes in Austria are traditional Bond action in the snow. These films with Daniel Craig have shifted the tone. They don’t depend on a set formula that forces actors simply to go through the motions.”

Is he playing Blofeld “That is absolutely untrue. That rumour started on the Internet, and the Internet is a pest. The name of my character is Franz Oberhauser.”

Can a blockbuster fulfill an artist? “A James Bond film can be artistically fulfilling. Absolutely it can. It can be complex and it can be interesting. I consider Bond movies to be an extension of popular theatre, a kind of modern mythology. You see the same sort of action in Punch and Judy, or in the folk theatre of various cultures, like Grand Guignol.”

On being a late bloomer: “I do feel I can say – without smugness – that this feels good. I am entitled. I am entitled to judge the situation and say that yes: it feels good, and that yes, I agree with you. I feel like I served my time. I feel I have paid [my dues].”

[From British GQ]

Waltz, 58, really is a late bloomer. He worked regularly (for three decades) in Europe before making his big Quentin Tarantino breakthrough. In Cannes, QT famously thanked Waltz for saving his movie; and Waltz thanked him for saving his career. Two Oscars followed, and he’s enjoyed plenty of commercial success in other movies. Waltz seems truly grateful for his success, and you never hear anything bad about the guy. He seems a little prickly over the internet, but I suspect he was joking.

Is Waltz playing Blofeld or not? IMDb credits him under the Franz Oberhauser character, which has been detailed in Bond-inclusive wikis. Franz is believed to be “a leading figure in the SPECTRE criminal organisation.” Moviepilot isn’t buying it. They point out how all of the clips and trailers so far have teased Waltz in an “extremely ‘Blofeld-esque’ manner.” Actors have fibbed before about secretive blockbuster roles. Marion Cotillard insisted she wasn’t playing Talia al Ghul in The Dark Knight Rises, which was a lie. I don’t see why Waltz wouldn’t be playing Blofeld. Making Spectre without the head of the titular organization would be a waste.

I haven’t written about Carey Mulligan since 2013. How in the world did that happen? Carey is arguably one of the greatest actresses of her generation. I have every hope/belief that she will follow in the footsteps of actresses like Emma Thompson (an early mentor for Carey), Cate Blanchett and Meryl Streep (one of Carey’s recent costars). Carey flies undercover for the most part – we really don’t know anything about her marriage to Marcus Mumford, they don’t walk red carpets together and her personal life is largely one big question mark.

Carey is currently starring in Skylight, the David Hare play she starred in with much acclaim in London last year. They brought it to Broadway this year and once again, the play (and Carey in particular) was received with acclaim. I’m guessing that everyone involved with pick up Tony Award nominations later this month.

During a week off, Carey flew to London for the big premiere of her new film, the film adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s Far From the Madding Crowd. Carey plays the lead, Bathsheba Everdeen, and Michael Sheen, Matthias Schoenaerts and Tom Sturridge are all trying to woe her, with mixed results (I’m including the trailer below).

While I think Carey looks beautiful in that special Audrey Hepburn-esque way she has, I’m not really crazy about her Dior Haute Couture dress. I think the idea of it was on-target – go for something with a simple cut that sparkled – but the execution makes this a failure. It doesn’t fit her properly, it makes her look pregnant, and the lace detail at the hem is tacky and cheap-looking. Carey posed happily with costar Matthias Schoenaerts, who is… a hottie. Damn.

Here’s the trailer. I’ll admit it: this looks like the kind of tearjerker-romance that I would watch many, many times.
