Are Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds an item? These two tabloid covers say a lot. Yet, they’re not even true. If you know what Sandra Bullock is like. Everyone who knows Sandra in Hollywood never has one bad word to say about her. Though we all know these tabloid stories aren’t true. In fact nothing could be further from the truth. But anyways – tada! look at these tabloids. :)
At least Sandra is helping move Ryan on from Blake Lively romance rumors of late though. That is kind of sweet.

Although James Cameron surely must be in this list, Johnny Depp, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are who Hollywood thinks are the hottest stars this year. Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt fared well too.
Only one person of color made the list, thanks to Cameron’s casting and her dual turn in both Avatar & Star Trek. Our diversity radar totally went out the window this year. Oh well. My question is: how do we get a Maori-Kiwi on this list, aye?!
IMDB’s Top 25 Stars ranked on their StarOmeter across 2010 here in Hollywood were:
25. Scarlett Johansson.
24. Emma Stone
23. Sandra Bullock
22. Mila Kunis
21. Rachel McAdams
20. Natalie Portman
19. Bruce Willis
18. Dakota Fanning
17. Nicolas Cage

1 Fact: 1 billion people do not have clean drinking water. Where: Africa and India are most affected.
The threat: More people are lost in the world through this situation than war.
The solution: We can make a difference through UNICEF Tap Project. If you want to, please do.
True fact 2: For as little as $10, one person can have clean drinking water for a lifetime.
That’s like a beer at a Hollywood club with the tip. Amazing aye! Act. Bump this post on too. Let’s flow. :)

Kate Middleton and Mike The Situation Sorrentino make the cut of Barbara Walters ten most fascinating people of 2010. Here’s whose on Barb’s list, in her 18th and (she says) final year of delivering the hit show via ABC Network loved and watched by millions worldwide:
Justin Bieber
Kate
The Cast of Jersey Shore
Jennifer Lopez (American Idol TV Show judge)
Sarah Palin
Sandra Bullock
NBA star LeBron James
Betty White
Many websites have speculated who the last two guests could be today here in the US. Flavor Pill lists their own top ten, that I can’t relate to at all, except their first choice. The Week.Com speculates on who Barb’s two mystery guests should be. Of their choices, they select: Lady Gaga -quoting Jen Chaney at The Washington Post (why? she was last years news), An Obama citing Margaret Lyons pick at Entertainment Weekly (couldn’t hurt), Lindsay Lohan -quoting Bridget Daly atHollyscoop (stranger things have happened), Lt. Dan Choi relaying Maureen O’Connor at Gawker‘s pick this year (not a bad choice either).
Perhaps Tiger Woods, Kim Kardashian (single, childless and still on top at 30), Liu Xiaobo‘s wife, or Warren Buffet, The Gates & The Team at Giving Pledge.
If looking at my own blog–Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson rate high this year. Or, why not Oprah and Larry King both wrapping shows this year like Barbara is–or for a laugh why not Oprah interviewing Barbara Walters as no. 10. That would be groovy. Eminem or other music artists–there’s not one announced yet. Or a soldier who recovered from war’s atrocities? Or a scientist perhaps. The actors of Harry Potter continue to fascinate too. They also could be a worthy choice.
Who can believe little Snooki has made Barbara Walter’s Ten Most Fascinating People show in just over a year of being in show biz? Go Snooki go!
Who do you think the final two could be?

Hollywood celebrity Op-Ed line of the day on American culture today: “Dear Ms. Bullock, the best fish in town, will most probably be located next to kobe beef sliders but definitely the edamame hummus. America is changing. To update one’s cultural politics, always read California’s constantly evolving sushi menu. You’re welcome.”
Fish eater, Sandra Bullock, was at The Abbey last eve, in West Hollywood.
Sweetie… Sushi hotness is found at Katsuya (restauranteur Sam Nazarian‘s other restaurant of SBE Ent]. She’s a sweet innocent blue-eyed blonde this girl. I kid.
But an honest attempt by Bullock to be a little be more real. Props.
Love it. The celebrity heat is on grill. Something to do with a bullock slab meat purse, being the big event in Hollywood, last weekend at the MTV VMA awards.

Entertainment Weekly seems to think that Sandra Bullock is the most powerful actress on the planet. When I look at Speed 2, somehow, I don’t think so.
In power dike talk, Sandra seems to love, these accolades being written about her. She okays them before they go to print. Interesting. Good on Sandra. True power though, is always being honest, otherwise you’re not powerful at all. Food for homework, for Sandra today, when she’s doing way too much today on the cover of E.W.
Let’s keep it real! This girl finds it hard to tell the truth.
I have a lesbian cousin, a lesbian niece, a lesbian Phd role model, and friends who have children to lesbians… they’re a lot more honest than Sandra is. To me, they have more personal power than her too because they are honest about who they are.
And a note to E.W when running such Bullock-fed headlines on their cover. Two concepts to consider: “Angelina Jolie” and “Bollywood actresses” in the world outside of the U.S, before this can even be remotely believable. I find this magazine cover to be very racially offensive for that reason.

The Huffington Post reports that the U.S birth rate has dropped 2.7% in the last year. The recession is sited as the reason why few Americans bothered to reproduce last year. It is believed to be the lowest level of birth rates in a century of U.S history.
Maybe more people are adopting, like Sandra Bullock did, instead? On the flipside, many school teachers of America, will be relieved at this news as classrooms are often overcrowded with educational resources being cut back also. It will give schools a time to maintain a good level of education here in the US, with a slight reprieve for the next decade perhaps.

The gorgeousness that is Louis Bardo Bullock is spotted out with Sandra Bullock for the cover of US Weekly Magazine.
As adoption is such an important issue for many American children’s better future–just simply because a lot of new parents can’t afford to even raise a child in this economy (California for example have just axed aid for the poor by half a billion dollars), it’s actually quite important that Sandra is being an advocate for the American adoption issue… that I am sure is on the rise here in America, as I write.
US Magazine put all of their efforts into “pitching” to the cougar/ jilted/ single woman–the benefits as to why adoption can make a woman as a potential mother of America, feel great… these being: how a baby can help you.
So touching. And again, all eyes on New Orleans today. Baby Louis is just too adorably cute. I wonder if he’ll grow up to play football for the New Orleans Saints with a mother like Sandra.

Sandra Bullock has made so much money from The Blindside (chalk it) since: a public outpouring of empathy towards her well being; realizing that she perhaps didn’t have enough tattoos to keep her shonky marriage in tact when away spending long days filming.
Sandra fortunately has done so well with Blindside sales, that she was able to buy this beautiful Victorian home in New Orleans, which Sandra says “it is important for [her] son, Louis Bardo Bullock to be raised in New Orleans.” Louis is a native of New Orleans. Sandy B is totally with her kid.
As it turns out, Sandra has great taste… in babies, movie roles for 2009, movie marketing and distribution strategies… and homes.
No matter which way you look at Sandy B – she is one smart broad.

Occasional actress, silent movie producer, Sandra Bullock was spotted out in New Orleans this weekend, with her son, Louis Bardo Bullock. To watch video of Sandy B and babe, go here.
Sandra’s publicist [not Betty White] has said that Sandra wants to raise Louis in New Orleans, the babe’s original home town. Cute.

The title of this post is not to be confused with Mother Load –the bar in West Hollywood, where everyone gets mothered singing to Karaoke… but has everything to do with ‘Mothering’ according to Oscar winner Sandra Bullock.
According to IMDB news Sandra, the occasional actress the last six years, sees mothering as more important than movie making these days. Says the actress: “
“All I know is that I want to be able to enjoy being a mom. Doing all the things moms get to do, outside in the sun, in the world. The career will have to wait for a bit. I don’t want to step into that world until I can find out what room I left my armour in. You need tough skin to be in this business. I don’t have tough skin right now and I don’t want it.”
How sweet! And with a baby son as beautiful as Louis Bardo Bullock, I think Sandy’s made the right choice.

Sandra Bullock continues her invisible fame monstering ways, long after she cluthched her Oscars Award, months ago now.
According to Pop Eater, not only did Sandra’s surprise and long awaited cover story, of “I ditched my porn star producing Hugh Hefner wannabe faux husband” and “I’m a proud parent of a beautiful adopted baby boy” bump Julia Roberts from top cover position–but Sandra’s baby story has outsold more than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s twins story of 2008.
According to a source of the mag, “Sandra’s cover has been on newsstands for a week and it has already sold over 2.7 million copies,” a magazine insider told me, citing early sales estimates for the issue. “That’s only 100,000 less than the 2.8 million copies the magazine sold when Angelina’s twins graced the cover — and a half-million more copies than the June 2006 issue with exclusive baby pictures of Brad and Angelina’s first daughter, Shiloh, which moved 2.2 million newsstand copies.”
What we learn from Sandra is: a) it pays to cast a loser as your fake husband sometimes (I say that with love, because any woman knows when her husband is having one affair… after a while, let alone affairs with an entire haram of wannabe porn stars–no one is that naive. b) it pays to take a long vacation and come back into the fame game with a strategy and relentless headline-garnering game plan. c) always hire an Octogenarian actress (Betty White) as your mouth piece and unofficial publicist… because no one’s going to question what they say about you–clever PR. d) Anything that closes the divide between black people and white is going to be white hot, as Sandra demonstrates in her recent film and life’s choices–kuros for that! e) invisibility is a skill that many A-List celebrities could learn off Sandra, to garner A-List news. She’s a Hollywood magician!
And unlike Jolie, apparently Sandra has the #1 People Magazine of all time, just from being a “single mother.” Let’s face it, with heat like this… it’s between Lady Gaga and Sandy B for the big storylines now of entertainment–as both leading American ladies of music and film (respectively) demonstrate the art of fame monstering their celebrity compeitors and peers–like we’ve never seen before. Incredible. Congrats Sandy B, for making history in tabloid sales.

Why Betty White didn’t make Time Magazine’s Top 100 Most Influential People of 2010 List herself, and in Betty’s own right … is beyond me? She perhaps should have.
Anyway, here’s the incomparable Octogenarian magician, talking about Sandra Bullock‘s selection into this canon. Says Betty of Sandra:
“I couldn’t be with her in person the night she won the Best Actress Oscar for The Blind Side, but it was just so wonderful to see her be appreciated. (I’ve seen the movie twice, by the way.) What’s so appealing about her in it is her honesty. She’s been labeled America’s Sweetheart, which sounds soft and sweet. Sandra is both of those things, but she also has a strength of her own. She never lets a scene get away from her.” That’s polite talk for Sandra loves to control things. And good on Sandra. She delivers good work with that A-type personality modus operandi.

Reports MTV, that on a press call for her Saturday Night Live appearance on May 8, octogenarian superstar, Betty White commented on the People cover featuring her “Proposal” co-star, telling reporters that while she cares for Bullock deeply, she hopes everyone will respect her enough to give her space. “I love her dearly and her personal life is her business,” White said. “Certainly not mine or anybody else’s.”
I wonder how much Sandra Bullock is paying the adorable Betty White to be her publicist. (Sandra was a producer on The Proposal–and Betty a paid actress who does good promotions–even for Pink’s Hot Dogs). You don’t argue with octogenarians, so whatever Betty says is gospel. She’s a good choice for Sandra’s press releases. These girls play a slick fame game in the Hollywood hood. Gotta love them!
Betty speaks the truth though–it is none of our business. Any part of Sandra Bullock’s personal life. And if Sandra wants to be secret secret super super private–than good on Sandy B. Although Sandra is a very public figure, anything else about her… is just none of our business.
Apparently.

~What a beautiful child~
According to KTLA News via People Magazine, Sandra Bullock has adopting, Louis Bardot Bullock, 3 1/2.
Oh… and Sandra’s also divorcing her fake husband. Officially.
Louis was born in New Orleans and is named after after jazz great Louis Armstrong, who had particularly touched Bullock with his signature song, “What a Wonderful World.”
Bullock also has these things to say when asked about her relationship with James’ three children, Bullock said, “I don’t want to know what life is like without those kids. … Whatever we need to do, in the healthiest way, we are going to be co-parenting.” That’s very sweet of her.
Looking ahead to life without James, the actress said, “I really don’t know how our paths will intersect in the future, but the father I have known Jesse to be with all the kids is one that I hope Louis can experience one day, no matter how Jesse and I go on with our lives.”
Note to Sandra–I know perfection doesn’t exist in any of us, but a reponsible lesbian truck driver would be a better role model and parent to baby Louis than the Mili Vanili fake husband gorilla guy with a motorbike shop. Geez girl! Put your cards on the table!
Congrats to the happy mother and her beautiful baby boy. Obama is a bit of a bard with his political rhetoric, so I like the Bardo second name of Bullock’s addition to her family. Cute.

Alright. Some sad news today. Mel Gibson has announced, he’s ending his relationship with singer Oksana Grigorieva and CNN’s and Canter’s Deli local institution, Larry King has announced he’s divorcing Shawn Southwick.
Let’s look at the upside of this heartbreaking news, as these A-List celebrities can take action and end a relationship/ marriage with a press release, instead of being ‘silent’ and grandstanding on an alleged shockingly bad marriage like America’s sweetheart Sandra Bullock is currently doing by her ‘silence’ and ‘invisibility’ on the topic. To play the victim card and then go into hiding after winning an Oscar in tough Hollywood, is rather lame.
Sorry Sandy B fans, we love her–but her limelight hogging on the Jesse James porn puppet, swastika-wearing show, is getting so ridiculous, Sandra’s celebrity peers are taking action to show her some Hollywood manners and courtesies. Sharing a spotlight for good purposes, is always the best way forward for America.
And you have to remember that let’s play “hide the wife” is the favorite celebrity game of men grandstanding for fame’s purposes in America at the minute (Tiger and Jesse’s favorite game) to lock the big celebrity game up. Just sayin.
And in case Jesse and Tiger think they’re so clever in their little haram games. This game is so old. Abraham, the founding father of both the Jewish and Arab people of the world, played this game over 5000 years ago. Let’s move the ball along as Mel Gibson and Larry King both send out a message today. Hope their girls are okay. :)

You know, if Angelina Jolie was a fragrance merchant she’d be a billionaire. Instead, she loves being a working mother and a mother of the destitute and the forgotten of the world. Instead of her seventh fragrance in her merchandizing line, Angelina Jolie is content to work on the lives of her children. Because in the Jolie-Pitt household, one’s children are one’s fragrance of joy for the world.
Well, according to Star Magazine via Hollywood Life Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are adding to their family football team (yes Shiloh is quarter back) because the most unreliable tabloid magazine in the Universe (Star) is reporting on their tabloid cover today that Angie is already 3 months pregnant with baby #7.
Whether this is true or not, doesn’t matter. Read the rest of this entry »

“Pornography promises men intimacy, but leaves us emotionally impotent”–Dr Edwin Louis Cole
You’ve got to respect an Octogenarian who still has their marbles still working well all up in their suede. Hugh Hefner who has long worn the difficult crown of presenting to America its porn, is so onto Sandra Bullock, Jessie James and Tiger Woods shennanigans, that it made me chuckle today. Let’s face it, Americans love their porn. It’s an entrenched part of US culture and show biz.
According to Page Six Hugh Hefner says of Tiger Woods: “When you get married, you make a commitment. I had a lot of girlfriends, but it’s not the same as cheating. I don’t cheat. I am very open about what I do . . . Sandra Bullock’s husband looks like a real creep. I think that when you are in a relationship, you should be honest. The real immorality of infidelity is the lying.” <— That was so deep.
Hefner also spoke with Las Vegas columnist Norm who asked: Does he think golfer Tiger Woods can overcome his playboy transgressions? Says the Hef: “He can if he wants to. But this whole idea that it’s a sex addiction is a copout. Some people become obsessed with sex, but it’s not like an alcohol or drug addiction. He did it because he could get away with it.”
No. All three of them (Sandra, Jesse and Tiger) all did it because they are positioning themselves to be the new Hugh Hefner with their porn puppet show, when the Hef dies.
At least Hefner’s onto it, when it comes to big business and whose trying to get all up in his mix with pussy wagon publicity. Porn generates a lot of tax dollars for the American economy each year. And America’s in need of money makers to bail out the economy–Jesse James and Tiger Woods are the two contenders to be the next porn kings of America as this juncture of US biz history.
And although this whole story seems like pot kettle/ kettle pot publicity, you have to respect the fact that at 84, this man is not stupid. He is one of the few Americans who produce product that sells offshore more than he consumes. He builds the US economy with his Playboy Entertainment branding. Good comments from the Hef today.

Alright then… on with the shallows of Hollywood blogging: Trophy Girl Michelle “Bombshell” McGee has announced via the Australian media that she is “sorry.”
As McGee was auditioned in person on Jesse James casting couch in his backyard garage (like a sketchy Hollywood producer would) and she was always who she claimed to be: a working model trying to feed her children…. I’m going to accept her apology. She is, who she always claimed to be, so we can’t get mad at her. She did her job Jesse James paid her to do for him.
This report of McGee’s apology via Today Tonight via Mikey K: “”I’m sorry for your embarrassment. I’m sorry all this is public. I’m sorry for everything. She must be hurt, devastated, upset, embarrassed. I want to give her a heartfelt apology. I’m sorry for her embarrassment and pain. I do feel really bad about it. I feel like I was duped just as much as Sandra was. I feel like I was lied to just as much as she was. If Jesse was upfront with me in the beginning, we wouldn’t be in this situation.”
Let’s hope Oscar Winning and extremely successful Hollywood movie producer (currently tallying box office earnings still accumulating) Sandra Bullock can find it in her heart to reward forgive Michelle McGee for her apology today.
McGee has top billing tonight in Hollywood appearing on the A-List show Entertainment Tonight in prime time as well as The Hollywood Insider. She’s nationwide news in America this evening as if she’s an A-List star. Nuts aye?! :)

According to Star Magazine, Sandra Bullock spent Easter with her sister Gesine Bullock-Prado in Vermont, California. The sisters rocked out for a meal with close friends at a local restaurant in Vermont. Says Star:
“Someone called the restaurant on her behalf a few hours before she showed up for dinner and asked if there was availability for six people,” a source tells Star. “The caller said they wanted a quiet, private table, and to keep it a secret that this person would be showing up. The town is very small and unassuming — you would never suspect a celebrity would stop by.”
“It was Easter weekend, and it was obvious she wanted to be with family and close friends,” says the source. “Her sister seemed very protective of her, but Sandra looked strong. She was far from a wreck… Sandra looked like she was holding up just fine, considering what she’s been through.”
More: Sandra ‘the Sweetheart hero being resilient during durress’ rhetoric from the Bullock camp today. Somebody hand me a Kleenex or a Jackie O vintage magazine to cry over, because this story is so touching. Isn’t Sandra Bullock so “unassuming,” a “celebrity” and so “strong?” I don’t know how Sandra can do it–manage to go out for dinner at such a difficult time and “hold up” so well in the face of losing her beautiful marriage as she once knew it. She’s amazing.
Isn’t it weird, how going to get a bite to eat without even a pic of this meal occurring, can become world news. That’s quite a star. Most Oscar winners, don’t get that magical attention–but Bullock is such a much-loved American sweetheart, she does. :)

American summer 2010 looks like this. Bikinis for the sun and Guidos for American beach fun. Here’s the pics from Bar Refaeli‘s and Mike “The Situation”‘s photoshoot with Terry Richardson for the much coveted A-List actors terrain of Interview Magazine.
These crazy kids are bringin it! It’s all about muscle, abs, beef, braun, laughter and waxing and eyebrows. Love their sense of humor. Like pizza with extra cheese to entertain. Too funny!
Pop Cultural Commentary: The phenomenon of the Jersey Shore lads rise to fame as reality TV stars to becoming Party Boys Central for the kids of America to feel privileged at events when they turn up at festivals and clubs… mirrors the rise of Italian-American break out pop star, Lady Gaga.
American culture and how it is created and generated is all about reflecting back different expressions of America’s celebrity monarchy via pop culture (think Beyonce and her African-American supporters and minions in music–Bee has a lot! A whole army who work for her, and feed up their best creativity to her and Jay-Z).
As long as Lady Gaga is famous, these Jersey Shore lads will always have a platform in US culture. Love them! They are the cheesy and “italian stallion” male expression of her pop diva-dom reign in America. They deconstruct the cartoon and stereotype of Italian American men, by knowingly rocking out with it. This appears to be addictive to American women mainly, as pizza is comfort food–and the lads of Jersey Shore are much loved here.
Bar Refaeli is too Tarzan and Jane hot in these pics as she rocks these lads out for America. What a sport. She gives them some fashion credentials–that they never had until now to begin a career in fashion, health and fitness endorsements. Good for her!
