Crushable Quotable: James McAvoy Is Scottish. And Still Knows Kilts Are Dumb
James McAvoy, the adorable Scottish actor, is in Robert Redford’s new movie The Conspirator, and talked to PopEater this week about various things that have happened in his life. (Like the fact that he’s fine with the fact that Angelina Jolie emasculated him in the movie Wanted.)
But the thing I most appreciated was his take on kilts. As he comes from the land of kilts, he is technically allowed to wear one without coming off as a total jackass. But that’s easier said than done:
Every now and then, if Scotland’s football team is playing an international match, I’ll put my kilt on. I have worn my kilt once walking around my home in London, and I went through a period of about two days where I went, “Yeah, I’m Scottish, I can wear my kilt wherever I like.” I asked a friend of mine, “What do you think?” and he said, “Well you look like a dick.” So I stopped wearing my kilt.
Crushable Quotable: Jesse Eisenberg Compares Oscars To A Bar Mitsvah
Jesse Eisenberg interviews are turning out to be our favorite part of the lead up to the Oscars. Earlier this week, we found out about his Ween obsession. And now he’s proved that he can even be adorable when being considered for the most important acting award that exists. At the Oscars luncheon this week, Jesse explained that he finds the whole Oscars thing awkward:
“I feel like when I was 13 and I had to go to bar mitzvahs every weekend. This is the same feeling. You have to put on a suit every weekend to go meet with a bunch of Jews.”
Crushable Quotable: Top Chef’s Fabio Says Italy Will Eat ‘Jersey Shore’ Alive
The cast of The Jersey Shore is heading to Italy next season. Which may be the one thing that can bring new storylines into the show. What will the cast do when confronted with real life Italians from Italy?
Well, there’s one Italian who has a prediction: Top Chef‘s Fabio Viviani. And he tells Fancast that the guidos aren’t prepared for what’s coming:
“They won’t make it out alive. They’ll kill them all.”
Wow. That makes us want to watch even more. More »
Crushable Quotable: Tracy Morgan Apologizes By Calling Sarah Palin A MILF
Tracy Morgan‘s attempts at damage control are pretty hilarious. Last week, he got in trouble with TNT for calling Sarah Palin masturbation material. And last night at the SAG Awards, Morgan threw the network a bone (pun intended?) by clarifying his earlier controversial statement. On the red carpet, have gave the former vice presidential candidate a shout out:
“Sarah Palin, you’re the hottest MILF in the world!”
Crushable Quotable: Justin Bieber Is Bad At First Dates Too
Good news for teenagers everywhere! Even pop stars with coveted haircuts are bad at dating. Justin Bieber, international cutie, has just informed the world that his first date was terrible. And it was all his fault.
According to Disney Dreaming, the Biebs put it like this:
“I took a girl out for a first date to an Italian restaurant and spilled spaghetti all over her. It was terrible and embarrassing. She never went out with me again.”
Notes From Sundance: Adrian Grenier Was Destined To Become A Gigolo
Up in Utah yesterday, celebrities got together at the Bing Bar to give back. At the 2011 Creative Coalition Teachers Making a Difference Awards Luncheon, celebrities were reunited with their high school mentors to help recognize outstanding teachers and support for education.
It was a nice event. Until we found out that Adrian Grenier‘s high school teacher always thought he’d end up being a stripper. More »
Crushable Quotable: Mila Kunis Tells Hollywood To Just Calm Down
Our crush on Mila Kunis continues. Last night at the Critic’s Choice Awards, Mila dressed up for the awards show, walked the red carpet, chatted (again) about her weightloss for Black Swan, and also reminded everybody to just take a deep breath:
“They’re just awards. It’s not the end of the world. People need to relax.”
Crushable Quotable: Chris Harrison Knows He’s Useless On ‘The Bachelor’ OK?
Oh, poor Chris Harrison. His most dreaded job requirement might be making small talk with the mentally slow contestants on The Bachelor every season. But yesterday, Ellen Degeneres called him out for his remedial counting skills on the show. As if anyone gets confused when The Bachelor hands out the final rose.
Chris knows his countdown is silly. But he also knows that if you take away his counting to one rose, he basically wouldn’t have a job. So he’s just fine with it:
“I wanted to get rid of that very early on,” he says. “Eight years ago, I’m like, ‘This is ridiculous.’ ” More »
Crushable Quotable: Mark Wahlberg Used To Smoke A Lot Of Skunky Weed
At the Palm Springs Film Festival this weekend, Marky Mark accepted an Indie Impact Award. And revealing his true pothead roots, he noted that his new award kind of looked like a bong. But then he started rambling about why he had to stop smoking weed. Once a pothead…
Here’s what he said:
“I stopped smoking weed for my kids. One day, we were driving and you could smell it from somewhere. My daughter asked what the smell was so I told her it was a skunk. Then she said, ‘Sometimes Daddy smells like that!’ to me and my wife. So I knew I had quit.”
Crushable Quotable: Pete Wentz Says He’s The Homeless Man’s Adam Lambert
We haven’t heard from former Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz for awhile. But this week he took a break from being a dad and husband to talk about his propensity for guyliner in a Double Take video.
In the video, Pete interviews himself, and identifies himself as “a homeless man’s Adam Lambert.”
And weirdly, we think that’s sort of apt. More »
Ginnifer Goodwin Doesn’t Get Why It’s Weird To Be On Weight Watchers At Age 9
Ginnifer Goodwin, the adorable actress from HBO’s Big Love, caused some controversy last month for a few quotes she gave to Health magazine. Mainly she mentioned that she noticed she was fat as a little kid. And to stay skinny, she’s been on Weight Watchers since the age of nine. And stranger? She doesn’t understand why. More »
Crushable Quotable: Ryan Gosling Feels Bad That His Hotness Breaks Couples Up
Ryan Gosling‘s got it rough. On top of being one of the most sought after actors in Hollywood, he played an iconic character in The Notebook that women dream about to this day. In fact, women love that guy so much that Ryan says they’ve broken up with boyfriends who have fallen short of the standards that Noah set for Rachel McAdams‘ character Allie. According to him:
“People would come up to me and tell me that they thought [The Notebook] was romantic, but one guy told me that he was engaged and [his fiancée] broke up with him after that movie because she said to him, ‘You wouldn’t build a house for me [like the lead character does], would you?’
Crushable Quotable: Don’t Worry. Ryan Gosling Is Bored Of Himself Too.
Ryan Gosling has too movies out this month. And with blond female leads (Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst) costarring against him in both Blue November and All Good Things, it can be rather difficult to keep the two apart. But don’t worry! Ryan can’t do it either. In an interview with the LATimes, he explained:
“I get sick of myself, so I can imagine how everyone else feels. And for the two to come out at the same time, it makes me feel sick.”
Crushable Quotable: David Arquette Wants A Barrymore Baby
David Arquette is in a bit of a tailspin since his split from wife Courtney Cox. And continuing to go on Howard Stern is not HELPING. This week, he told Stern that he wants to get started with some Hollywood royalty inbreeding. Why does that sound like a good idea? Because he and Drew Barrymore would make totally awesome babies! Um…
“I know she is with Justin Long and everything, but how cool would an Arquette-Barrymore child be?… From a pure breeding standpoint.”
Crushable Quotable: Liz Phair Is Too Smart For Los Angeles
Last night, two of us from Crushable were lucky enough to catch Liz Phair‘s show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York. Liz was in full force, and it was an awesome night. She played tons of tracks from deep within the Liz Phair oeuvre and rocked a super hot corset (I have the grainy cameraphone photos to prove it). She was in generally great spirits, and flirted with the audience throughout.
At one point she took a photo of the crowd for her Christmas card. And she also jokingly explained that she’s too smart to live in Los Angeles: More »
Jessica Alba was “misquoted.” The actress is using the bad editing excuse for all those comments about acting she made in a recent Elle spread. Let’s see if that works! (Cinema Blend)
Crushable Quotable: Portia De Rossi Turned Healthy Living Into Anorexia
Portia De Rossi‘s new memoir Unbearable Lightness depicts her longtime struggle with anorexia, and one quote struck us this morning, since we’ve been writing about the subject of eating disorders and Black Swan lately. Namely, the fact that she thought she was being healthy when she dipped into anorexia.
According to JustJared, Portia writes:
“I didn’t decide to become anorexic. It snuck up on me disguised as a healthy diet, a professional attitude. Being as thin as possible was a way to make the job of being an actress easier…”
Crushable Quotable: Emily Blunt’s Martini Lunches
Actress Emily Blunt has a strategy for dealing with stress that falls very near and dear to our hearts: booze.
In an interview with Harper’s she explains that alcohol is a trusted friend that helps her get through stressful red carpet events:
“I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it’s bedlam. Everyone’s got crazy eyes. Now, I have a martini before I leave – just to take the edge off it.”
Crushable Quotable: Fred Armisen Likes Holding Governor Patterson’s Hand
We love Fred Armisen‘s Governor Patterson impersonation on Saturday Night Live. In fact, the impersonation going away is the thing that makes us saddest about Andrew Cuomo taking over the New York governor’s office. (Even sadder than Sandra Lee being the new first lady!) Which is part of the reason we love this comment from Fred about meeting Patterson for the first time, from tomorrow’s Page Six Magazine:
“Meeting him was, like, the greatest thing ever. We had this moment when we had to duck under the table and wait for our cue to jump up in front of the camera together. And because he’s visually impaired, I had to hold his hand. It was this surreal moment for me—just the two of us ducking under the table and holding hands with no bodyguards around, waiting for our cue. It was amazing.”
Crushable Quotable: Katy Perry Has An Expiration Date
Katy Perry may love latex, but it is a love affair with a time limit. Some women say you can’t wear miniskirts past the age of 25. But the pop starlet feels that way about the latex uniforms she prances around in on stage most days:
“They have an expiration date and that’s why I’m wearing them now at 25.”
And here we were thinking that latex was like white after labor: best to avoid. More »
