Daniel Craig: The Kardashians act like idiotsDaniel Craig is not a fan of reality TV. The actor, who revealed his low opinions of the Kardashians in the January issue of British GQ, used some strong language to make his case. Craig - the star of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" – tells the magazine that he values privacy. "I think there's a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel," he said, noting that, “you can't buy your privacy back.” 'Parenthood': Life isn't fairLife was better for some Bravermans than others this week, and while it was definitely more upbeat than the last episode, there's still no happy dance party at the end. Jasmine wakes up next to Crosby, realizing her mom will be there with Jabbar. She proceeds to act like a child instead of a grown-a– woman who spent the night with the father of her child. So, she forces him to get up and run, while he's trying to discuss the situation. At least she didn’t make him go out the window. Museum buys 'Back to Black' dress for $67,120It’s only been four months since Amy Winehouse passed away, but the late singer’s duds are already being auctioned for impressive sums. A fashion museum in South America has shelled out big bucks for one of Winehouse’s dresses, reports the New York Daily News. On Tuesday, the Museo de la Moda in Santiago, Chile, reportedly paid $67,120 for the dress Amy wore on the cover of her 2006 Grammy-winning album "Back to Black." The frock was created by fashion label Disaya, which loaned the U.K. size 8 dress out for Winehouse’s album cover shoot. Disaya has agreed to donate the sale proceeds to The Amy Winehouse Foundation.

January, Gwyneth among GQ's least influentialAs everyone cranks out best-of, year-end lists, GQ magazine has gone for a slightly different tack, offering to highlight the 25 least influential people of the year. There are plenty of politicians, and GQ's bipartisan in its light-hearted critique, placing Republican House Speaker John Boehner at No. 24 for being "a politician who was elected specifically to not give a s--" and President Obama at No. 25 for "[wielding] all the power of a substitute teacher at night school." But there are also plenty of celebrities. Adele's '21' goes quadruple-platinumCritically acclaimed chanteuse Adele is receiving yet another accolade: The Brit's hit album “21” has earned the year’s highest certification to date. According to a press release, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has awarded the singer a quadruple-platinum plaque for her sophomore effort. (Platinum status is earned by selling one million units, by the way.) Since its February release, “21” has been flying off the shelves - it was certified platinum by March. Kris Humphries wants to annul marriage to KimKim Kardashian may have asked for a divorce, but her estranged husband Kris Humphries wants something a little different. The NBA player is seeking a legal separation, his rep tells CNN, and does not plan to go through with signing the divorce papers Kim filed on October 31. That way, the couple's 72-day marriage could then be annulled. Update, 4:30 p.m.: Kris Humphries' rep tells CNN that he has filed to legally separate from and nullify his marriage to Kim Kardashian. (And, by the way: Any reports you see about him being gay aren't true, the rep says.) According to People magazine, this is a new plan for Kris. Sources close to the basketball player had previously claimed that he wanted to sign off on the divorce and move forward. 'Breaking Dawn' passes $500 million markIt’s not quite a surprise, but the latest "Twilight" movie’s box office take is impressive nonetheless: “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part I” has raked in more than $508 million worldwide, the BBC reports. According to the film’s distributor, Summit Entertainment, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are drawing considerable crowds. Out of the worldwide gross, $223 million was made in North American movie theaters, and “Breaking Dawn - Part 1” is the top movie in the UK and the US after its second week in theaters. Hugh Jackman's wife doesn't 'pay heed' to gay rumorsHugh Jackman's wife Deborra Lee-Furness says the couple's caught wind of the gossip questioning 43-year-old Jackman's sexuality, but they're not paying the rumors any mind. "The line I heard was, 'Wolverine? Who would have thought?'" Furness tells Page Six Magazine. "Hugh and I don't pay much heed. It's kind of tragic that these people have nothing better to do than gossip about people they don't know." It's not just Jackman they gossip about - rumormongers have also clucked at Furness's weight. But the Australian actress remains unfazed. "Heaven forbid I have a human experience and carry a little weight," she tells the magazine, adding that her husband of 15 years "is much more mature than me, so we balance each other out....I was always saying I'd marry someone sensible, like a stockbroker. So he dresses up for that fantasy for me occasionally." Comedy Central to re-air Patrice O'Neal specialIn honor of deceased comedian Patrice O'Neal, who died Tuesday at 41 from complications due to a stroke he suffered in October, Comedy Central is adding in some of his programming. TMZ reports that those at the network are "broken up" about O'Neal's passing, and will re-air his comedy special, "Elephant in the Room," this evening at 8 p.m. ET and again at midnight. Comedy Central previously hosted O'Neal on their "Roast" of actor Charlie Sheen in September. Although Sheen was only acquainted with O'Neal for the time surrounding the taping of the comedy special, he wrote a lengthy post on the celebrated comic via Twitter Tuesday. "The entertainment world as well as the world at large lost a brilliant man today," Sheen, 46, wrote. "Patrice had that rare 'light' around him and inside of him. I only knew him for the few days leading up the Roast. Yet I will forever be inspired by his nobility, his grace and his epic talent. My tears today are for the tremendous loss to his true friends and loving family." |
