Brangelina Planning to Adopt Again

Friday, October 27th, 2006


Although it won’t premiere until sometime around the year 2020, the greatest reality show ever continues its casting process, with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie planning to adopt another orphan, this time from India. A source says they plan to bring the child to the U.S. by Christmas. While Brad wants to adopt a boy, Angelina may be leaning toward another girl. The source says that “whichever they end up with, they’d like to name the child India to honor its homeland,” and, of course, to graciously set up the “finding nirvana in India” jokes for me to knock out of the ballpark when I’m writing a celeb gossip blog in my forties and India Jolie-Pitt is banging her Greek shipping heir. Pitt and Jolie are currently in India filming the upcoming A Mighty Heart.

Jolie has three children already. The first, Maddox, was adopted in 2002 from Cambodia, a region Angie fell in love with while filming the first Lara Croft film. Zahara, now nearly two years old, was picked up from Ethiopia; and, of course, we’re all familiar with Shiloh Almighty, the omnipotent union of the Jolie-Pitt genetics, who made her much-heralded arrival to our simple planet in May of this year.

Angelina has said in the past, “I want to create a rainbow family. That’s children of different religions and cultures from different countries.” Thanks, Angie. I needed that spelled out for me. The other term I hear a lot lately is “dirty sanchez.” Do you know anything about that?

Quote of the Day

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

“Finally, to my boyfriend, who I happen to be married to…with the good loving you give me every day, and especially last night…it’s no coincidence that I’m freer and braver to leave the house, because I can’t fail, because I get to come home to you.”

Sandra Bullock at the 10th Annual Hollywood Awards

Wow Sandra. I’m jealous.

Another Reality Show Participant Makes a Straight to DVD Movie

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

I get a bit sassy sometimes when reality shows refer to their participants as “cast members”. I am a struggling actress (the secret is out!) so I have issue with these reality whores ending up in movies and television. Because of “Laguna Beach” and its even faker spin-off “The Hills,” the reality star to actor ratio is going to get much higher. Why, you ask? Well, I have a sneaking feeling that these “cast members” are actually “cast.” Do you think it is a coincidence that LC is dating the Prince of Malibu?

On a reality casting note the Hollywood Reporter is saying that “Brian Drolet (MTV “The Hills”) is set to appear in “Burial at Sea,” an indie teen horror movie being directed by Joe Knee. Drolet will play a pro skateboarder who unknowingly hires the cursed captain of a possessed yacht for an expedition to shoot the ultimate skateboard video. Drolet is repped by Metropolitan and Cole Payne Management.”

Possessed yacht? This has straight to video written all over it. This guy seemed like such a tool on “The Hills.” At least he looks good with his shirt off.

An interesting link for those dudes out there who like big ole reality TV boobies. Robin from the current “Duel” challenge series takes it all off for the cameras. [IDontLikeYouInThatWay]

America’s Cultural Learnings of Borat Fail to Reciprocate

Thursday, October 26th, 2006


Sacha Baron Cohen’s film, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, will only open in 800 theaters, as opposed to the previously planned 2000. “Our research showed it was soft in awareness,” says Fox’s distribution chief. A recent survey revealed that only 27% of moviegoers were aware of the Borat movie.

Honestly, I’d make a Borat-related joke here, but I’m with the rest of the country: I’ve got no idea who this character is. So the headline’s as good as it gets.

It’s a Boy for Matt Leinart and Brynn Cameron

Thursday, October 26th, 2006


Congratulations to the Heisman trophy winner and his girlfriend, USC basketball standout Brynn Cameron. The couple welcomed their first child, a boy named Cole Cameron Leinart, on Tuesday morning. Matt has been linked in the past to Paris Hilton and Kristin Cavallari. While he’s been dating Brynn on and off since early 2005, he has yet to appear in a single picture with her, which is why we have to keep running that damn USC basketball shot whenever we write about them.
