Kim Kardashian Didn’t Want To Disappoint Her Fans By Calling Off Her Wedding, But She Did Marry For Love
About a day after the news that she was filing for divorce broke, Kim Kardashian has posted an official statement to her website. Part apology, part explanation (albeit a vague one), she denies that this her marriage to Kris Humphries was a business deal and cops to her own naivete in jumping into marriage. And by God, it actually sounds genuine. (In honor of Kim being all emotionally naked, here’s a photo of her without makeup.) More »
Gallery: 10 Short Celebrity Marriages More Fascinating Than Kim Kardashian’s
A lot of people are angry at Kim Kardashian for making a mockery of the institution of marriage for a chance to play princess on television for a day. I would argue that these people are overlooking the true crime committed by Ms. Kardashian: doing it in an ultra-boring way. Over the years, we’ve come to expect crazy short marriages from our celebrities; I would argue that this particular bit of tabloid culture has become an American institution to rival traditional marriage. But we do not want them to be by the books or, even worse, transparently fake. We want them to at least appear to be spontaneous, bizarre, and genuinely pathological. (No, Kim’s pathological need for fame doesn’t count.) Here are ten celebrity couples who did the short marriage thing in a better, crazier, and more entertaining fashion than Kim Kar-snooze-ian and what’s-his-name ever could. More »

Crushable Quotable: Angelina Jolie Says Cleopatra Wasn’t a Knockout
For the time being, David Fincher has his eye on some impressive fictional and real ladies: In addition to his adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo — starring Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander — he’s looking to remake the 1963 film Cleopatra, with Angelina Jolie playing the fierce queen. However, Jolie has made clear that her Cleo won’t be the same as Elizabeth Taylor‘s. (Good thing, since it’s rumored that the older actress refused to give her blessing to a remake.) More »

The Best and Worst Elizabeth Taylor Obituaries
Elizabeth Taylor was one of the most famous actors of our time, her legendary beauty, style and of course talent was something that was always admired. She gave support to AIDS research by starting a foundation in memory of her close friend Rock Hudson (who died of the disease). She was glamorous, savvy and talented, winning two Oscars. Her nickname was “One Shot Liz” for being able to do a scene in one take, I had to do a double take when reading some of the obits all over the internet. Some are downright hateful, and others brazenly rude. I am appalled. The fact that so many people have forgotten what a star Liz Taylor was is just depressing.

Angelina Jolie Confirmed As Cleopatra, Ass-Kicker
Angelina Jolie will be playing the snake-bitten Egyptian queen Cleopatra in an upcoming adaptation of the biography Queen of the Nile, Cleopatra: A Life (we hope they change the title for the film). Anyway, so far the movie only has a producer and no director, or leading male for Angelina to play off of, but we’re thinking Marc Anthony could be played by Brad Pitt, since the original film had Elizabeth Taylor and her lover Richard Burton in the original… More »

Elizabeth Taylor on life support?
Elizabeth Taylor, who suffered a bit of a heart scare last week, ended up on life support for a brief time, but apparently she’s okay now. I know, that’s not really big news, but I’m telling you, there’s like nothing else going on today.
This isn’t the first time Lizzie has been in the hospital – seems like she’s always almost “crossing over”, as her best buddy Michael Jackson would put it. I’ve never seen a movie of hers,… More »
