Stars’ Halloween Costumes

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Valentino Garavani

I hope you’re all getting into some debauchery tonight. Like I said earlier, it’s the one night of the year when you can dress like a slut, a freak, or a creep, and people won’t think you’re insane or hold you accountable. It’s just like living in Hollywood.

Celebs are taking advantage of the same opportunity. Katie Couric was spotted sporting this year’s ubiquitous Kate Gosselin costume while the hosts of the Today Show went the Luke & Leia route. Fashion designer Michael Kors dressed in a detailed hippie costume while designer Valentino (above) dressed up as an Oompah Loompah. Oh wait… that’s not a costume.

Would someone please tell me what the hell Martha Stewart and Mickey Rourke are supposed to be? I tried to figure out their costumes, but the best I could come up with was “tree trunk” and “Mickey Rourke.”

Bruno Premieres in London

Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno doesn’t open in the US until July, but it premiered yesterday in London. Despite all the buzz about whether or not the film fairly represented the gay community (uhhhh, I’m gonna go with “no,” because it’s a satire, guys), the early reviews are, I imagine, exactly what Sacha was hoping they’d be.

There’s this, from the BBC:

“Sometimes you question whether he has finally crossed the line into offensive bad taste – and, latterly, whether you were right to laugh at it – but the audience all seemed to guffaw and groan in the right places. They even gasped in horror when they were supposed to.”

And this, from The Sun:

“And here lies a warning — the pygmy sex scene is one of the most horrific incidents ever committed to celluloid. I’m talking fire extinguishers, champagne bottles and mechanically adapted fitness equipment. Teenage boys should under no circumstances watch this with their parents.”

Ooooh, you guys!!! I am SEEING THIS ON OPENING NIGHT. That is, if I can’t talk someone into getting me into a critic’s screening even earlier than that.

Borat’s Hitting This

The star of Confessions of a Shopaholic — and Sacha Cohen’s baby mama — wore this to the NYC premiere of the flick. I can’t say I love the dress (and I can say I hate the shoes), and, to be honest, homegirl doesn’t really know how to work a red carpet. It’s obvious she’s had training, but the poses and the faces still come off a bit forced. She’s a fantastic actress, but maybe modeling’s not her thing.

It’s Isla Fisher’s first film role as a leading lady.

Can the comedienne carry a film as well as her boyfriend can?

We’ll find out!

Isla Fisher Would Rather Be a Star Than a Jew

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Oy vey!

Trouble abounds in Borat-ville!

Sacha Baron Cohen was supposed to get hitched to baby mama Isla Fisher this summer, but that’ll have to be postponed, because Isla’s been slacking on all the studying she needs to do to convert to Judaism. She’s doing it “part-time,” apparently, but her “full-time” job is filming Confessions of a Shopaholic.

It doesn’t seem like Sacha’s too concerned about this, but you know who is? HIS JEWISH MOTHER. Oh, yes.

Says a source: “Isla was supposed to spend her time after giving birth hard at work on her Torah studies, and that’s gone far slower than expected. It’s very much frustrated her future in-laws, especially Sacha’s parents, who were really hoping for a wedding this summer … Right now there’s no wedding date set because Isla hasn’t fully converted yet, and even though she’s working at it part-time, she’s far from being close to completing her studies.”

I guess Isla just wrapped filming on Confessions, and now her soon-to-be in-laws are expecting her to hunker down with the Torah hardcore.

Continues the source: “Sacha is not as worried about the relationship between his parents and Isla as everyone else is because he’s extremely devoted to her and their child. He also believes that putting too much pressure on Isla is only going to make the wedding happen later rather than sooner. He is happy taking his time to get married the same way he was happy having a long engagement. But in the meantime Isla’s had to endure a lot of awkward moments with Sacha’s mother, who just doesn’t seem to understand her future daughter-in-law’s drive to become a big star.”

Ugh. I had to go to Hebrew school (in addition to regular school!) for YEARS when I was a kid so that I could become a full-fledged Jew and then spend the majority of my adulthood attempting to explain to my mother that, yes, Judaism is nice and all, but Jewish men are skinny, short and/or nerdy and I don’t want to go out with them, Mom, even if you are going to pay for the JDate subscription, and yes, Mom, I know there are lots of nice Jewish boys in Los Angeles and maybe if I went to temple more often I’d meet some of them but, see, let me reiterate, Mom, that I don’t really want to date a Jewish guy. Sigh. I kind of represent the reason that old Jews are sad about my generation of Jews. Mainly, we want to date anyone other than our fellow Jews. All that Hebrew-learning, wasted. If I could just hand it over to you, Isla, I would.

Heh.

Anyone know any tall, hot, ripped, funny, smart and awesome Jewish guys living in Seattle? My email address is on the Contact page.

Isla Fisher Is Just Happy to Be A … Film Actress

Hey remember when Isla Fisher was all like “I just had a baby and all I’m gonna do is motherhood for years and years because nothing else is important at all and who needs films and celebrity and paychecks when you have a baby?”

That was four months ago.

And here’s Isla on the set of her new film, Confessions of a Shopaholic.

I’m just saying.
