The former star of Perfect Strangers, Bronson Pinchot is letting the public in on how he really feels about Hollywood and some A-list actors and actresses. In an interview that was posted on avclub.com the actor voices his opinion on some of the past acting roles he had as well as some of the co-stars he worked with. Pinchot's first movie was Risky Business with Tom Cruise. In the interview he calls Tom "the biggest bore," and says that "he was tense" and would call everyone by their character's name instead of their real name when not filming. The actor calls the movie Courage under Fire his "low point" as he says that he was abused by Denzel Washington when filming the movie. Apparently Denzel used the excuse that it was his character in the movie that was abusive to him not actually Denzel, but Bronson says that he needed counseling after filming that movie. Another Hollywood big wig that Bronson did not get along with was Bette Midler on the set of The First Wives Club. He says that Bette was not very nice to the director of the movie and she would try to take it over. One actor that Bronson does care for in Hollywood is Tom Hanks. He calls Tom, "a wonderful and genuine and lovely and down-to-earth person." I don't know how many people are going to want to work with Bronson anymore after this telling interview.

A new tabloid report is claiming that Nicole Richie and longtime partner Joel Madden got married. Joel is denying the rumor on his band's website writing, "I keep getting emails from old friends and family asking about a wedding. NO we didn't get married." The couple just recently welcomed their second child together, a son named Sparrow James Midnight Madden, in September. They also have a 21-month-old daughter named Harlow. The couple has said in the past that they have no set plans to marry in the immediate future.

Evolution of Clothing: It Suits Him: Ties and Coats and Panache

0 comments
Jun 1, 2009 by Pam Gaulin

Ties and coats are no longer just for forced family photos and holiday gatherings. Young men with panache can proudly wear a slightly disheveled white shirt and tie or suit coat and t-shirt thanks to Zac Effron and the Jonas Brothers.

The Disney sensations known as Jo-Bros, and Zac Effron, cannot take complete credit for co-opting formal wear into hot casual looks. First we need to look back at movie stars who made the suit famous, as well as later stars who deconstructed the style.

Nobody wore the suit like Cary Grant. In many of his films from the 1940s and 1950s Cary Grant appeared as comfortable in his pressed shirt and full suit as many would be in a pair of pajamas. Fast-forward to Dustin Hoffman, barefoot in a suit coat and unbuttoned dress shirt in the iconic scene where he is watching Mrs. Robinson take off her nylons.

The suit got serious in the 1980's film American Gigolo, as worn by Richard Gere and designed by Giorgio Armani. Richard Gere's profession may not have been noble, but in the 1980s there was a definite mass consciousness that connected suit wearing with money making. Suit elements, including bigger-than-life shoulder pads found there way into women's business attire.

The 1980s also brought us a more playful approach to the suit coat, dress shirt and tie combination, which has been embraced by today's young pop icons. Tom Cruise in Risky Business made a fashion statement with a pair of white socks and matching dress shirt. Later in the film he wears his suit coat more casually, with a black t-shirt.

The real fun comes with General Hospital-doctor-turned-pop-sensation, Rick Springfield. One of his signature looks was a wrinkled white dress shirt and colorful tie. Springfield brought a sense of frolic to suit pieces, once thought of as formal.

The fun and hip mindset has evolved to today's suits for today's young men.

Celebrity Gossip: Fergie & Duhamel's Wedding, Holmes' Birthday, and Magic is Dangerous

According to Access Hollywood, singer Fergie and actor Josh Duhamel will be getting married next week. The wedding will be the weekend of January 9 and take place in southern California. The couple has been engaged for a little over a year. They were recently seen scanning items at a local Crate and Barrel store, but told others they were registering for "Christmas gifts," not wedding ones. Hopefully, for this couple, the public leaves them alone and allows them to have the wedding that they want.

So, if you are the wife of Tom Cruise, how do you celebrate your 30th birthday? Apparently with a cake from your husband and the whole audience of your Broadway show singing "Happy Birthday" to you. Katie Holmes was given a special birthday cake when the curtain fell for her performance in All My Sons. Although Cruise was not at the performance (he was at his movie premiere in Los Angeles) he set up the whole thing for Katie's birthday. What a great husband, but I still think that this couple of Cruise and Holmes are just a little odd.

Working for magician David Copperfield can be quite dangerous. An employee of Copperfield's got his arm broken after a trick went wrong on the stage. The employee was helping during a fan trick and got his arm caught in the fan. The executive producer of the show calls this a "freak accident," as the trick has been performed by David over 3,000 times. The hurt employee is recovering in the hospital and Copperfield will continue to perform this fan trick in his show.

Celebrity Gossip: Sweetin Broke, Klein and Goodwin Split, And Rich Gets Hitched

Dec 24, 2008 by Tiffany B

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the pending divorce of Jodie Sweetin and her husband Cody Herpin. It appears that there is some new information that has been made public about their split. According to court papers, Sweetin and her husband are dead broke. Their house is in foreclosure, their water has been turned off in the past, and they have several other past-due bills. Sweetin is claiming that Herpin quit work when they got married and "kept finding one excuse after another for his failure to even attempt to find employment." They survived solely off residuals from Full House. There are also claims that Herpin threatened to take away their daughter from Sweetin if she left. Herpin denies these allegations and says that he was a stay-at-home dad and didn't know this was a problem. He didn't realize that when their water got turned off, that maybe he should get off his butt and get a job? This whole relationship seems like a mess, and the one person that you feel sorry for is their daughter.

Another split in Hollywood involves actor Chris Klein and his girlfriend of two years Ginnifer Goodwin. According to a friend of the actress, the split was "mutual and amicable." If you remember, Klein was dating Katie Holmes for quite awhile, and then just a short time after they broke up she hooked up with Tom Cruise. Now, Katie is married to Tom and has a daughter and seems to be happy. Maybe this breakup with Klein will have the same effect for Goodwin. She can meet her future husband now!

For a happy ending to this post, John Rich from the country group, Big and Rich married his longtime girlfriend, Joan Bush this past week. The couple had a small wedding in Nashville and kept it low-key -- just like their relationship. Wishing this couple all the best of luck and hoping they don't end like Jody Sweetin and her husband.

Celebrity Gossip: The Beckham and Cruise Holiday, Eating Disorders, Jen and Jon

How did the Cruise family celebrate Thanksgiving this year? It appears that Tom, Katie, Suri, Isabella and Connor spent Thanksgiving with their friends the Beckhams. The two families celebrated Thanksgiving Day together in New York City. The families attended the Big Apple Circus and also took a horse and carriage ride through Central Park. The Cruises and the Beckhams have been friends for awhile now, but can you imagine walking through New York and just seeing these two families hanging out together? I bet all the New York tourists loved that.

There have been tons of rumors circulating that the actresses on 90210 have eating disorders. When comparing pictures of actress Shenae Grimes before and after she went on the show, it does appear that she has lost some weight. In my opinion, she is too skinny. But she has gone on the defense and came out to say that she does not have an eating disorder. She told People Magazine that she is not too skinny and she doesn't have an eating disorder but does have a friend who has dealt with one for several years. Grimes claims she has been thin all her life and looks perfectly healthy in person. Well, if the camera adds 10 pounds, how can she look better in person? Wouldn't she look even skinnier?

Things must be getting rather serious between Jennifer Aniston and Jon Mayer. Jennifer has introduced Mayer to her dad, actor John Aniston. You always know that this is a pretty big step when you start introducing your boyfriend to your parents and family. The couple had recently split a couple months back and just rekindled their romance last month. We shall have to wait and see if these two make it or not.

Celebrity Style: Baby Trends and Boyfriend Jeans

0 comments
Oct 26, 2008 by Tiffany B

Celebrities aren't the only people who set the fashion trends in Hollywood. Celebrity kids also make fashion trends just as much as their parents. You will never see a celebrity kid wearing some old shirt from Wal-Mart or the local discount department store. No, celebrity kids wear name brand designer clothing that cost more than all the clothing I have put together. One of the trendiest kids in Hollywood is Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's daughter Suri. Even at two years old she is making a fashion statement. Suri Cruise has been photographed wearing many different outfits and different designers. One of her favorite designers is Juicy Couture. She was seen wearing a black sundress by Juicy Couture strolling around New York City with her mom.

Another celebrity kid that makes fashion trends in Hollywood is Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale's son, Kingston. Kingston can be seen wearing tons of different rocker clothes from his mom's line called L.A.M.B. From his cargo pants to his rocker tees, he sets the trends for little boys in Hollywood. Other celebrity kids that are also high on the fashion trends are Heidi Klum's three children, Tori Spelling's son Liam, and all of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's children.

So, what is going on with the actual celebrities in Hollywood? Well it seems like baggy, boyfriend cut jeans are back in style. Both Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes have been seen wearing their husband's jeans. Now, no one is going out and telling you to wear your husband's jeans out of the house, but it seems like the boyfriend cut jeans are an alternative to the skinny jeans. Other celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz have also sported baggier jeans in the past couple weeks. When trying to achieve this celebrity look, make sure that the jeans are not too baggy and that you don't wear them out for a nice evening or date. Boyfriend jeans are for casual strolls around town. Pair them with a gray t-shirt like Reese Witherspoon did and you have a cute and casual day look.

Shannon on 90210, Cameron and Paul Move in Together, Naomi's pregnancy and Nicole's Baby!

By now you've heard that the '90s television hit show, Beverly 90210, is coming back and bringing some of its former stars with it. Rumor has it that Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth will both have roles in the updated version of 90210, but guess who else producers are trying to get to come back as well? That's right, bad girl, Shannon Doherty. Apparently, Shannon has met with producers of the new show and if she likes the story (and the studio offers her the money she's looking for), Brenda Walsh just might be storming the streets of Beverly Hills again. Like how totally cool!

Cameron Diaz and her model boyfriend, Paul Sculfor, are shacking up already. Since Paul doesn't have a home in LA, he's been crashing at Cameron's million dollar home. Considering the fact that these two haven't been an item for very long, things seem to be moving pretty fast even by Hollywood standards.

And I guess it's true that best friends really do like to do everything together. Naomi Watts is expecting baby #2 with husband, Liev Schrieber, which means that she and her famous Aussie BFF, Nicole Kidman are both pregnant at the same time and the babies will be less than a year apart.

George Clooney sure knows how to keep his ex-girlfriend's happy. In a recent interview with Hello! Magazine, George's ex, Sarah Larson, couldn't say enough good things about George. She claims they're still friends and that they actually keep in touch. Sarah isn't wasting any time looking back or lamenting what could've been - instead she's concentrating on taking advantage of her new status and maybe even meeting a British boy sometime in the near future.

A-list actress Nicole Kidman and country star Keith Urban welcomed their brand new baby girl into the world this past week. They promptly named her Sunday Rose which isn't really as bad of a name as it could've been, but it's still a little out there. There are rumblings that the baby's name could actually be a jab at Tom Cruise's religion, Scientology. Could it be that Nicole is still a little bitter about the whole divorce even this many years later?
