Benji Madden was in Australia last week working on The Voice. While he was away he would post Instagram photos for Cameron Diaz. One was with a puppy:

Rule #1 When you’re away from home working and you meet a puppy, always take pics to send to Bae ??????

Last week, the world was astounded by the “other” blonde at Paris Fashion week. Jared Leto showed off his Karl Lagerfeld Jr. realness at the Balmain show. This was an in-between stage for his eventual Joker look. Now Karl’s Jr. (his new nickname) revealed the mysterious reason why he wore those glasses. He wasn’t trying to look cool — he was protecting us from the full reveal of his shaved eyebrows. Quick, prepare yourself!

This isn’t the first time Jared’s shaved his eyebrows for a role. He previously did so for Dallas Buyer’s Club, which made more sense. I don’t know why he’d need to shave his brows to play the Joker. Is he going to wear some neon green merkin brows? With Jared, anything is possible. He’ll go to any lengths for a role, but I appreciate that he won’t talk our ears off about his “craft.” Dude lets his work speak for itself.

Jared’s all over Paris. He attended the Lanvin and Balenciago shows and spread his photobombing obsession. Here he is sneaking up behind Gigi Hadid at a Galaxy event. This is how one knows they’ve truly arrived — getting photobombed by Jared Leto.

Theirs is known as one of the most solid show business marriages. Both of them are talented. Both of them work steadily. Both are well-respected. Both can be rather high-brow though they’ve tried at blockbusters and secretly aspire to big movie status without the big movie star lifestyle th…      

Girls Season 4 Episode 8 recap

I read something recently that said Lena Dunham hopes to leave the characters in Girls ‘better than we found them’, like a campsite. It’s not so unusual a concept, but on a show like this, that seems to revel in the continual return of the char…      

Team Breezy is leaking like a sieve and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. As we learned last week, Chris Brown is now the father to a 9-month old baby girl named Royalty Brown. The baby-mama is a sometime hookup named Nia. Chris was obviously with Karrueche Tran at the time, and Nia was married at the time she got knocked up with Royalty, because Chris Brown’s life is an episode of Maury. This whole time, I’ve been sort of wondering why we’re finding out about this baby right now. My half-assed theory (I didn’t give it a lot of thought) was that Nia probably leaked/sold the information to TMZ. Guess what?

Chris Brown is headed for family court, where his baby mama is now in danger of raking in a lot less in child support because of her big mouth. Sources connected with Brown tell TMZ … the singer didn’t know he was the father of 9-month-old Royalty until last month, when Nia Guzman dropped the news. We’re told Chris quickly made a deal with her where he would pay monthly child support.

Our sources say Chris is forking out substantially more than he’d be required to pay if a judge ordered formal child support. There’s a scale on how much a parent pays, based largely on income. We’re told Chris upped that amount and in return demanded that she keep her lips sealed. We know Chris now believes Nia has been leaking stories and talking about their relationship. As a result, our sources say his lawyers are now preparing legal docs, in which he will ask a judge for an order requiring him to pay child support. It sounds strange, but he’ll pay less than he does now.

[From TMZ]

You gotta love TMZ’s unapologetic inside track on this. TMZ pays Nia for information, photos, details and a timeline, Team Breezy blows up and freaks out and Nia leaks that info to TMZ, so now she and TMZ are now working together to make Chris look like a guy who will not fully financially support his kid (because she leaks to TMZ).

And here’s something else I love: Karrueche Tran is using the same GD playbook. As soon as the news came out about Royalty Brown, Karrueche has been leaking information all over the place, wanting everyone to know that SHE dumped HIM, that she’s moving on, that she’s totally done and that Chris is blowing up her phone trying to get back with her. And TMZ also got a suspicious tip (totally from Karrueche) that Chris and Karrueche had been talking about getting married and having a baby together for a while. TMZ’s sources (Tran) say that Chris begged her to have a baby with him but she wanted to get married first and he wouldn’t propose.

Last week, we discussed professional troll Katie Hopkins. She’s British and she’s trying to make a name for herself internationally by calling Kelly Clarkson “fat” in as many ways possible. I feel like I shouldn’t have to write “Katie Hopkins” one more time. I think we should call her something else, just to decrease the name-recognition she so craves. Let’s call her Trollface. I’m sure she’ll be fine with it, considering Trollface’s raison d’être seems to be “judging and criticizing people solely on their looks.”

Trollface appeared on Access Hollywood a few days ago to respond to Kelly Clarkson’s response. You know, where Kelly was basically like “Who? It doesn’t matter, I’m awesome.” Here’s what Trollface had to say about Kelly:

“Ultimately Kelly Clarkson is a chunky monkey. We can call it baby weight. We can call it puppy fat. We can call it love handles. We can call it muffin top … but ultimately it’s fat. … There is no such thing as fat-shaming. There is only skinny-blaming. … She took eating for two for eating for 10…it doesn’t hurt me if I hurt someone’s feelings. Ultimately if you put yourself out there, then you have to accept what comes your way.”

[From Access Hollywood]

“There is no such thing as fat-shaming. There is only skinny-blaming…” What’s that again? As in, the skinny people have a God-given right to tell fat people that they’re fat and then fat people “blame” the skinny people? Trollface fails at logic.

What I said before still stands… nasty troll is nasty trolling. The only reason I’m covering this is so you know to avoid Trollface. Hopefully, her attempt at trying to “happen” in America will be laughed out of town and the British citizens will send her packing too.

Both People Magazine and US Weekly have extensive interviews with Judi Dench this week to promote The Second Best Exotic Marigold hotel, which was out this weekend. The film was third at the box office and is doing moderately well with critics. It also costars Maggie Smith, Dev Patel and Bill Nighy. It’s hard for me to get to the movies but I’ll definitely see it once it comes out on DVD. The first film was a nice change of pace.

I know that Judi doesn’t get a lot of interest because she’s not particularly controversial, but I just love to read her interviews. She doesn’t mince words at all and she speaks so much truth. I’m going to condense her People and US interviews into the best quotes, but if you like Judi I would recommend you pick up the magazines for more. These nice in-depth interviews are the best reasons to buy print magazines. Also, I was just reminded that Judi is 80 years old. I cover her often and I just assume she’s in her early 70s tops. (I would say 60s if she wasn’t famous and I hadn’t googled her age and forgotten it multiple times.) Here’s some of what she said:

On losing her eyesight to macular degeneration
My eyes only affect me if I’m somewhere dark and there are steps and I don’t see very well. I couldn’t go on the Underground [subway] now without somebody. I have all my scripts blown up. If six of us were coming in to read a sonnet, they’d all have one piece of paper and I’d have two or three. Or I have people read things to me. [People]

On aging
There’s nothing good about being my age. Someone said to me, ‘You have such a wealth of knowledge.’ I just said, ‘I’d rather be young and know nothing, actually.’ Bugger the wealth of knowledge. I suppose there are good things, but you have to find them. [People]

On people assuming she’s going to retire
It maddens me! I say that it’s not in my vocabulary, retirement. And if I can’t do one thing, then I’ll learn something new. [US]

On working with Benedict Cumberbatch in The Hollow Crown
I’ve known Benedict since he was a little boy. His mother and I went to school together. I send him and his new wife huge love. I’ve been thinking of him, and his ma and pa. [US]

On working with Maggie Smith
Maggie Smith and I were at the Old Vic together in 1958! We’ve done plays together, films together… You have a shorthand with someone you know very, very well… [People]

On hanging out and playing Banagrams with Maggie Smith
We swam a lot. And I loved this game called Bananagrams. Our hotel in Udaipur had this channel of water all the way around that our rooms looked out onto. One day I was swimming and Maggie – we’re old friends – called and said, ‘Judi! Get the Bananagrams!’ I swam back, got the game and tied it to my head and swam back around. I remember sitting outside, playing it into the night. [US]

On her pets and her legendary goldfish
I have one cat, one dog, which is my daughter’s, and this immense, legendary goldfish… I got him when he was very small. He’s died twice and I’ve blown into his mouth to save him. Now, he’s so big! People think I’m very eccentric. I am a bit eccentric, I know. But I’m mad about this fish and the fact that he came back to life twice. He’s now called Lazarus. He was called Scooby Doo. [US]

[From People and US Magazines, print editions, March 16, 2015]

She’s great, right? What I wouldn’t give to play Bananagrams on the beach with Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. I’ve never played that game but from what I know it’s similar to scrabble without a board.

That’s the best story about her epic goldfish. Long live Lazarus! Oh and both People and US have quotes from Judy (perhaps from the same press conference) on if she ever would guest with Maggie on Downton Abbey. (We heard recently that Maggie would leave Downton next year, but a publicist for the show said that’s not true.) Judi said that Maggie had never asked her to guest and that she didn’t know if she’d do it. She said she’d “miss watching” Downton if she was on the show.

Also, I didn’t realize that Benedict Cumberbatch had older parents or that his mom is an actress. I know her from Sherlock. Kaiser told me that Benedict is the one who convinced Judi to star in Richard III (part of The Hollow Crown series) for the BBC. It comes out in 2016.
