No kidding. How many years does Leo's girlfriend (who he has known since she was a literal child!) have before she hits 25 and he quickly finds a new 21 year old? Leo gets older and his girlfriends stay the same age.

And for some odd (oh please, we all know why) Kate Beckinsale gets dragged for dating younger men, but with Leo it’s all one liners and jokes and aren’t we all so chummy about it. He’s a gross, creeper who creeps on women way out of league.

JLo dates around, dates ethnically diverse and dates men within a reasonable age range. Maybe she dates men to increase her cred, or whatever, that’s speculative and not something I will invest in as long as she’s not gross like Jack Nicholson.

I don't get the JLo hate either but what I really don't understand is why it matters who she dates.  AFAIK she's always been with age appropriate men.  And as for "cred" whatever that may mean I'd say at this stage of the game JLo is the 'cred' men might be seeking if they wanted to date her!

I'm not a JLo fan because ...I don't know what about her is likable or admirable. I'm not a fan of her music (but I'm not big on music at all, so that's not unusual). I don't watch the TV shows she's on. I rank her on my personal "do I like them scale" above Blake Shelton, who I will never forgive for that Sexiest Man thing, and below Gabrielle Union. They are in that amorphous "not sure why they are still famous, but okay, they are on TV and red carpets a lot."

That being said, I don't understand why people have such strong feelings about JLo? Do I hate her for being my contemporary and having such a fabulous body and great skin? Yes, but no more than I hate some of my very best friends (that I actually love) for the exact same thing. It's more of a "Bitch, why can't I look that good?" hate than a visceral emotion.

I reserve my celebrity serial dater hate for creeps like Leonardo DiCaprio and John Mayer.

Yeah, my celebrity dislike list ranges from mild "I can't explain why I don't like them, I just don't" (Keira Knightly) to definable reasons why I dislike a person such as with JLo (her cultural vampirism, user vibes, and her success-to-talent ratio) to extreme dislike because they are just smug, entitled assholes (Lena Dunham) to 'DIE FUCK-FACE DIE' (R. Kelly).

Typically with me (and I think with most rational people) you don't know who their celebrity dislikes are unless or until they come up in discussion for something tangentially related to your dislike of them.  Otherwise I am content to just ignore them and don't post or even care about them most times. 

And for the record, Leo Dicaprio is on my 'I can't explain why I don't like them" dislike list.  I do think he is talented, but I also think he got really lucky hitching his star with Martin Scorsese and  his desperation march for an Oscar got a bit much especially since everyone seemed to think it was such a foregone conclusion he deserved one in his career.  I did not agree, but eh, whatever.

I agree with all of your reasons.  I won't not watch something Keira Knightly is in but I won't seek out anything she is in either.  If I see Lena Dunham I have to stop watching it.   A few years ago I was watching Scandal and she appeared on my screen and I thought well fuck. And R Kelly is dead to me.

For me to start a conversation about disliking a celeb they have to  have done something really bad.  But if someone is already talking about a celeb they don't like if it's a celeb I also don't like I will maybe join in the conversation.  Which is how I found myself commenting about J Lo today.

Since What's Eating Gilbert Grape I have thought Leo has been miscast in so many of his movies. The only movie I actually thought yeah this role is right for him was the Departed.

The relatability being Jess' mother, who spoke and said everything my own Mum said to me growing up! Especially about "running half-naked with boys!" when I was playing American Football before puberty! And then there's the best line ever:

Auntie: "Lesbian? Her birthday's in March. I thought she was a Pisces."

But yes, I, too, have dislikes for actors and actresses for no discernable reasons.

Yeah.  Those on my mild list won't necessarily stop me from watching something they are in.  But if it is a star vehicle for them then I am more likely than not to just pass it by.  If they are in an ensemble, I do this sort of unconscious calculus where I decide if the other people in it include people I LIKE more than the one person I dislike.  Sometimes the math works, sometimes it does not. 

Bend it Like Beckham is an outlier because I saw it before I formed any opinion on her, and also  I really do like Parminder Nagra so it is an easy one to re-watch.  Ditto with Love Actually altho I totally roll my eyes now with how in love with her both Chiwetel Ejiofor and Andrew Lincoln were.  She was so not worthy...

I wasn't referring to Miss Lopez's  wardrobe choice a  solitary time, I was referring to the fact that from the time she first got into the spotlight to the present day, AFAIC, Miss Lopez HAS been as naive her wardrobe choices[multiples and plural not singular] and the intended effects as Mae West was re hers.

The only time she is on record saying she didn’t realize there was going to be such a strong reaction to her dress was “the dress”, so singular people use “the” when describing it. At the Oscars when she showed at the very least a shadow of her nipples it barely got written up the next day.

If you want to believe Miss Lopez's declaration about her wardrobe choices as though it was written on Mt. Sinai Tablets that your call.  I personally don't because I have never considered her to be a naive person (and that's NOT a dis on her by any means , and, yes, I believe,  like the late Mae West, she knows what's what )  so I guess we'll have to agree to disagree about this particular subject.

Since her, her various stylists, Donatella, and several other designers she has worked with over the years have been interviewed various times about her outfits including when it wasn’t flattering to her, as in trying to recreate “the dress” moment and failing, seem to more based in fact I will go with them, over a not particularly relevant quote to the argument you were making.

I'm confused about this.  The initial Go Fund Me was set up for $10,000.  She gave $5,000 which apparently put him over his goal.  Then they started increasing the goal. 

So did they start increasing the goal because the medical costs started going up beyond what they originally anticipated?

Or, did they start increasing the goal once Kylie Jenner posted about it, donations started rolling in and they realized they could get more money?

I don't know the people who set up the Go Fund Me and I don't know how badly injured the makeup artist is.  Both of these are plausible. Does Go Fund Me require proof of how money is spent?

Nope. If it’s proven there is massive fraud/fake profiles they might delete it, though even if they do that it doesn’t necessarily mean that people who donated will have there money returned. It can be a whole other level of drama.

Maybe this should start going into Unpopular Opinions or one of those other threads but I've always liked Keira Knightley. She's a good actress. She just should not be in book adaptations (yes, I'm including Pride and Prejudice) because she just plays Keira Knightley regardless of how the character is written. Down the line... Never Let Me Go, Anna Karenina, etc. Atonement was okay for me but probably because I didn't read the book first. 

Quote

They are in that amorphous "not sure why they are still famous, but okay, they are on TV and red carpets a lot."

That person for me is Chrissy Teigen. But also because she rarely has anything worthwhile to say (I don't mean about charities or specific causes but the "commentary" that fills her twitter on a regular basis) but people think she's a comedian/personality for some reason. If we're ranking models who earned their careers beyond their initial modeling fame I'd probably go with Tyra Banks, Cara Delevingne, Padma Lakshmi, Heidi Klum, Cindy Crawford, etc. before Chrissy. But she is less annoying than Emily Ratajkowski.

Co-sign this!  I liked her until she ruined Elizabeth Bennet and then inexplicably received award nominations for doing so.

The only thing I knew about Chrissy Teigen away from John Legend is her co-hosting on Lip Sync battle, which I have not watched in its entirety.  What I don’t understand about her role from what I have seen is that they cut away from the performance to show her smiling and dancing, which seems like it defeats the purpose.  Am I supposed to be surprised that she likes it?  Have they ever cut away to show her frowning with thumbs down?  She seems superfluous.

I know who John Legend is, and I would add that the "nice guy" image he has is really not deserved. I'm not saying he slaps waiters or anything, but he's an annoying level of self-absorbed and entitled. I had no idea who Chrissy was until she married John, and the description I have of her is "needy." People who are wealthy and famous often get used to having what they want available at their fingertips. And when that doesn't happen, voices get raised, people get irritated. It's not a massive knock on them, but they aren't these wonderful people and they certainly aren't, "just like us!"

That love for that P&P abomination has always shocked me.

Here's a mashup of topics.  Speaking of J Lo, iconic and (in)famous green dresses, Keira Knightley & Atonement -- this green dress was one of the most stunning costume moments ever on my screen.  Probably my #1 favourite.

That's a nice dress, but there's nothing WOW abut it for me, but that's probably a debate for the Fashion thread.

I am bored with the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie publicity war. Can Mindy Cohen just take custody of all the kids already?

My apologies for straying from the topic of celebrity news and veering into fashion for a minute.  My mind just organically went there from J Lo- green dress - KK - Atonement. 

Back on topic, William Shatner is 90.  How about that?!  I shall go tell my husband to make him feel old.

I agree that the sniping between Mr. Pitt and Miss Jolie has become beyond tedious (and I feel sorry for the kids). But has Miss Cohn ever expressed interest in raising kids- and have any of them met her or even seen Facts of Life reruns?

[Crs97]

It has been reported that Mindy is a longtime friend of Angelina’s brother and has been friends with Brad and Angelina for a long time.  Supposedly she is godmother to two of their children.

Well, if all parties are willing to at least have her watch them for a time, it sounds as though Miss Cohn would be ideal to give the kids a break from all that squabbling.

 

P.S. That must be an odd set of things  James Haven to known for: Angelina's brother who  she made a spectacle with at an awards show- and the pal of a 50-something performer whose most widely known work was as a teen in the 1980s.

Is Emily R annoying because she's famous for her body or is her personality off-putting? I like that she's an exotic, olive-skinned brown-eyed brunette, and her body is killer. She's so skinny and fit but still has boobs. I know a lot of people prefer the thicker look and pear shaped bodies these days, but my dream bod is still more Emrata than J.Lo and the Kardashians.

I don't really think about Lopez one way or the other, and of course what people find attractive is totally subjective, but I will say this. In 2010 my wife and I went to a Letterman taping and she was the guest. The only things I remember about her interview was how she was promoting her perfume and Dave sprayed some in his mouth, and how in real life she was way more attractive than in any picture or movie I have ever seen.

Prince Harry Gets a Job

It was confirmed today that Prince Harry now has a job. He is the Chief Impact Officer at a Silicon Valley startup called BetterUp which provides “coaching and mental health services” to corporate clients.

I personally think if you work in a company, determine who actually has an impact would be done after actually doing things that had an impact. That’s just me.

Ohh, it makes more sense hearing it in that context. I've never heard it used for a Silicon Valley startup or really any for-profit company and it was impossible to google any words related to this without just getting stories about Harry. Even with the mental health component, it feels weird hearing it connected to a company making money from corporations. Like, I wouldn't expect Tiktok to have a Chief Impact Officer to gauge widespread usage or user experience with the app. Even if it was a meditation app like Calm, calling it "impact" would sound strange. It only makes sense when I think about "charitable impact." idk, none of this is about Harry and more about how strange I find Silicon Valley and tech stuff in general. It's like all the corporations are trying to sound evil/cagey about what they're doing.
