Crushable Quotable: Jessica Alba Doesn’t Cry Pretty
It’s hard being Jessica Alba. Just imagine it. You’re really pretty. And your hair almost perfectly matches your skin color. Also, people want you to say things on screen. But then they ask you questions when you’re not making a movie, and you kind of come off as a jerk. Stir. And repeat.
When the first quotes from Jessica’s interview from the December issue of Elle Magazine came out, she got in trouble for saying “good actors never use scripts.” And in the full version of the interview, she’s can be seen blaming the poor box office for her films on the directors. But she also doesn’t seem to know how to take direction. Here’s how she explains what went wrong in her scenes in The Fantastic Four:
“[The director told me] ‘It looks too real. It looks too painful. Can you be prettier when you cry? Cry pretty, Jessica.’ He was like, ‘Don’t do that thing with your face. Just make it flat. We can CGI the tears in.’”
Crushable Quotable: Jake Gyllenhaal’s Little Sex Door
Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal get very naked in their new movie Love And Other Drugs. So much so that they are basically naked and hugging on the new issue of Entertainment Weekly. And in the magazine, the actors dish about their sex scenes in the movie. It’s all a little…interesting.
But Jake’s quote here especially suggests that doing a nude scene with him might be less than fun:
“There’s, like, this little door that you open up and you’re like, ‘You down?’ ‘Yeah, I’m down—let’s do it.’ And the door closes when the scene ends. Yeah, it’s sexy when we’re doing it. And then it stops.”
Crushable Quotable: Christian Bale Defines A**hole For Esquire
Christian Bale may be an excellent actor, but he does a pretty terrible job keeping himself out of trouble privately. That’s why his team has required that all profiles of the actor be printed in a Q&A format. There may be less room for error that way, but it’s also hard to distance Bale from the random and ridiculous things that come out of his mouth.
Like in this new Q&A with Bale in the December issue of Esquire,where his attempts to prove he’s not an obnoxious actor backfire. A lot. At one point, Bale tries to explain why he hates talking about his acting roles, and inadvertently defines (and embodies) the term asshole for writer John H. Richardson:
“It should just happen. It should just happen. If something’s true and sincere, it happens regardless of marketing. The more I talk about it, the more I’m telling people how they should react. And that is an asshole.”
Crushable Quotable: Cher Was Sonny Bono’s Underage Maid
If you read this blog frequently, you’ll know that we are ridiculously excited for the new Cher and Christina Aguilera vehicle Burlesque that comes out later this month. In addition to all the glitter and wigs we could hope for this movie is giving us new presents. Like Cher doing interviews again! This week in People, Cher gave an interview where she divulged lots of things. Like the fact that her family is racist. And that Sonny Bono made her be his underage maid when they first met. (She was 16, he was 27).
“When I met Sonny, I was with a girlfriend. We were sitting at this restaurant in L.A. Sonny was really attracted to my friend, not me, because she was 19, beautiful, and had all kinds of curves…My friend didn’t dance, so Sonny and I ended up dancing all night long. I just loved to dance. Then he moved into the apartment house next door to me and my beautiful girlfriend, on Franklin in L.A. We became friends. I told him I had been sick and had lost my job. He said, ‘Well, you can live in my place and cook and clean.’ He had twin beds, and I lied to him about my age.”
And for those of you hurting for some more Cher awesomeness, check out this video of Cher on a horse singing about being a half breed: More »
Crushable Quotable: Ke$ha Wants To Be A Sexy Pirate
Pop star Ke$ha pretty much embodies the definition of a dirty girl. She often looks like she is wearing something out of a very expensive dumpster when she appears at events. At the VMAs this year, she even showed up wearing a garbage bag dress. And she’s fine with people thinking she’s dirty. Ke$ha tells Vulture:
“I’m trying to look like a cross between Keith Richards and a hobo. But like a really ridiculously hot hobo. Or like a sexy pirate.”
One piece of advice to you, Ke$ha: Don’t try to beat Johnny Depp at his own game. More »
Crushable Quotable: Adam Lambert Was Bad At Sex
True Hollywood Story on E! is the best. Mostly because of the weird stuff they get celebrities to divulge about themselves. And American Idol singer Adam Lambert is no different. Apparently, he went a little crazy when he worked on cruise ships and performing in musical theater groups in Europe.
But he was also a late bloomer, and tells E! that when he first had sex, he wasn’t very good at it:
“I lost my virginity at 21 years old.and it was to a man, not a woman. Uh, and it wasn’t very good. Sometimes it takes a little while to learn how to do that correctly.”

Quote Of The Day: Drew Barrymore, Now Accepting Certain Phone Calls
Drew Barrymore is looking awesome on the cover of the September issue of Marie Claire. Inside, though, she had some interesting things to say about her use of the phone.
She’s given phone sex chats a chance and seems a little ambivalent:
Oh, I’ve had successful phone sex – it can work. I think it’s f—ing weird – it’s super weird. I totally tried it, though, with a little success at one point in my life, but it was just a thing… More »
Quote Of The Day: Well, At Least We Now Know Gaga Doesn’t Have A Penis
In the September issue of Vanity Fair, Lady Gaga speaks candidly about her sex life, former drug use, and other highs and lows of her life and career. The Gaga admits to having some qualms about putting out though:
“I have this weird thing that if I sleep with someone they’re going to take my creativity from me through my vagina.”
What does that mean? We have no idea! But it does finally squash those old rumors that Gaga had a penis…. More »
Quote Of The Day: James Franco Doesn’t Swing That Way
New York magazine has a meaty, if slightly adoring profile of creepy soap opera starer James Franco in this week’s issue. The reporter talks to James’ professors, all of whom seem to buy into his act, as well as his five-year girlfriend, Ahna O’Reilly. Ahna, who grew up in the same neighborhood as James, doesn’t think we should fall for the gay rumors:
“You do a movie where you’re gay, or, in James’s case, more than one, it’s going to happen…. More »
Crushable Quote Of The Day: Jason Segel Overshares
Jason Segel certainly knows how to start off an interview, as evidenced by his recent profile piece in GQ. But he failed to answer the obvious follow-up question: When did you stop? Yesterday? Can’t remember?
“I miss smoking a ton of pot,” Segel says, genuinely wistful. “I can’t do it anymore. I’ve got too much work.”
Duuude, bummer. Freaks and Geek’s Nick Andopolis is all grown-up, acting like an adult. Well, sort of.

Crushable Quote Of The Day: Conan O’Brien Says Lance Armstrong Is Boring
Oh no he didn’t. Conan O’Brien used his Twitter platform to make a joke at Lance Armstrong’s expense. The offending tweet:
“Yesterday was the longest day of the year, unless you count the time I interviewed Lance Armstrong.” Not to be outdone, Lance swiftly replied, tweeting: “all you wanted to talk about was riding bikes and shaving your legs. It was, uh, slightly freaky.”
Conan responded that he was drunk at the time.
To be fair, it’s always about Conan! Lance probably couldn’t… More »

“There’s a moment in the last episode where the kids sing ‘To Sir, with Love’ to Will. I defy you to not cry during it. It’s so beautiful.”
