Most book critics and intellectual snobs offered some half-hearted “ironic” praise for Kim Kardashian’s coffee table book of selfies, Selfish. Like, the reviews of it weren’t bad. The consensus was that the book was pretty much the logical conclusion for where we are as a first-world society, for better or for worse. But Tim Gunn disagrees. Tim Gunn still has hope that some people will look at Kim Kardashian and truly believe that she will never be someone to admire, that her life is not aspirational and her need for attention is VILE. Us Weekly gave a copy of Selfish to Tim Gunn to peruse and his reaction was pretty funny:

Tim Gunn has slammed Kim Kardashian’s selfie book, calling it “disgusting and vile.” The “Project Runway” judge mocked Kardashian’s coffee table book, Selfish, while leafing through the pages at Us Weekly. After he read one of the photo’s captions, “I took a selfie at a red light while driving. I think that’s illegal now,” Gunn noted, “Well, she’s illegal.” And of a photo of Kardashian sticking out her tongue, he said, “Can I just say something? To all the young people out there in particular, banish this… This is disgusting and vile. What if this is the only thing that survives in the time capsule?”

The Emmy winner also asked Us staff reporter Travis Cronin about the latest hip lingo used by young people. “What’s fleek?” he asked in reference to one particular caption written by Kardashian. “Like fleet? Fleet Week?”

Gunn then singled out of a picture of the reality TV star wearing a heavy fur coat with the caption, “I just got this Fendi coat and was in New York. I was in a taxi and took this selfie to send to Kanye to see if he liked my new coat. He did!” Gunn’s response? “I feel my IQ plummeting.” The fashion guru then flipped to the back of Kardashian’s selfie book to look at her semi-nude photos, but quickly closed it when he came across an image of her wearing a see-through top and no bra.

The last time I wrote about Tim Gunn, it was 2013 (the horror!) and he told a media outlet that Miley Cyrus “needs a bitch slap.” In his defense, remember that Miley was the very definition of EXTRA back then. And I feel like that’s what Tim Gunn does these days: he’s the lone voice of sanity in the celebrity world, telling us that we don’t have to settle for the Kardashians and Mileys of the world.

Good morning…

We last checked in with Oscar Pistorius back in October 2014. He had been found guilty of culpable homicide (in American terms, that’s akin to manslaughter) for the death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp and sentenced to five years in prison. Considering some South African legal experts thought it was possible that Pistorius could have ended up with an even lighter sentence (like house arrest), five years sounded okay. Not great. I think the majority of us believed Pistorius should have gone away for much longer, and that the homicide of Reeva Steenkamp was not manslaughter but murder. Well, guess what? Prison officials have given notice that they believe Pistorius should be released and serve out the rest of his sentence with house arrest.

Prison officials have recommended that Oscar Pistorius, who killed his girlfriend, be released from prison Aug. 21 for good behavior after serving just 10 months and be moved to house arrest, the head of correctional services said on Monday. The news emerged the same day the country’s Supreme Court of Appeal announced the prosecution’s appeal against Pistorius’ acquittal on a murder charge for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp would be heard in November.

Pistorius, the double-amputee Olympic athlete, was found guilty of culpable homicide for shooting Steenkamp multiple times through a closed toilet door in his home in 2013. He was sentenced to five years in prison. Under South African law, he is eligible to be released under conditions after serving one-sixth of his sentence, which is 10 months in this case.

Acting National Commissioner of Correctional Services Zach Modise said Monday that a prison committee recommended last week that Pistorius be released from the prison in Pretoria on Aug. 21, exactly 10 months after he was sentenced and meaning he will have served the minimum amount of jail time his sentence required. Modise said the committee made the recommendation on the basis of Pistorius’ good behavior in the Kgosi Mampuru II prison in the capital, Pretoria, where he has been incarcerated since Oct. 21.

“He’s behaving himself very well,” Modise said. “He hasn’t given us any problems.”

Correctional Services spokesman Manelisi Wolela said the exact conditions of Pistorius’ house arrest wouldn’t be made public. The prison’s parole board had not yet made the final decision to release Pistorius, and the world-famous runner must “keep behaving well” to be released, Modise said. If released, Pistorius would be under strict probation conditions and would be monitored, Modise said. He said authorities would consider allowing him to begin training again.

However, Pistorius will also again face the possibility of a minimum of 15 years in prison if a panel of judges at the Supreme Court of Appeal overturns the original decision in his murder trial and convicts him of murder. The court has not yet set an exact date for the start of the appeal, court registrar Paul Myburgh said, but it will be this November.

That is some interesting legal system you’ve got there, South Africa. Five year sentence and out in ten months? Granted, I’m sure some states in America (like California) offer those kinds of deals too, but not for violent offenses. While I don’t believe in mandatory-minimums for nonviolent offenses (like drugs), why isn’t there a bigger call for mandatory minimums for violent offenses. Even if you take the court’s verdict at face value – that Pistorius is basically guilty of homicidal negligence – why on earth would he be let out in 10 months? Ugh.

Kate Moss has always walked a fine line between high fashion and hot mess. It’s been years since we had a good bit of Kate dirt to rub around. She used to be one of my obsessions. Her cocaine scandal was huge news, but she faced no legal consequence, and her career only faltered for a moment. Kate did the rehab thing, which was largely for appearances. I’m certain that Kate’s party lifestyle never slowed down again. She simply knows how to be more discreet. The exception being when she gets wasted and storms out of events. There was also the “three beers for breakfast” story a few years ago. Her antics continue, we just hear about them less often.

Kate’s shenanigans were very public yesterday. She was travelling home from holiday (in Turkey) and kept the party going until officers escorted her from the plane:

A supermodel known for pushing the limits may have gone a bit too far on her discount flight from Turkey on Sunday.

Kate Moss, 41, was led off an easyJet plane by police at London Luton Airport after reportedly behaving obnoxiously on her trip home to her native England, Bedfordshire Police told BBC News.

Moss wasn’t arrested or charged after police whisked her from the jet at around 4:15 p.m., cops in the town roughly 30 miles north of London told The Guardian.

“The passenger had been reported as being disruptive on the flight,” Bedfordshire Police said in a statement. “Officers attended and escorted the passenger from the plane.”

The airline confirmed a passenger’s conduct had prompted its staff aboard Flight EZY2232 from the seaside region of Bodrum on Turkey’s southwest coast to contact law enforcement, BBC reported.

EasyJet “does not tolerate disruptive behaviour and will always report any incidents to the authorities,” officials at the airline told BBC.

Officials at easyJet, a Luton-based low-fare airline whose latest annual report says it maintains a cost advantage in part by carrying a higher number of seats in its aircrafts, declined to provide any more details about what caused Moss to be ejected from the plane.

I’m not surprised to hear that Kate got rowdy on an airplane. What does seem bizarre is that she flew on the no-frills easyJet airline. Perhaps the liquor is cheaper on these planes? The airline doesn’t have first class (though business class may have sufficed). If Kate flew coach, the behavior she usually hides behind closed doors would have been spotted by civilians.

One other thing about this story makes me wonder — where was Jamie Hince? They’ve been married since 2011, and I hope they’re not having problems.

E! got some exclusive, enthusiastic quotes from Colin Farrell, 39, about the recent historical public vote in Ireland legalizing same sex marriage throughout the country. Colin’s older brother, Eamon, is gay and married his partner in Canada in 2009. Colin has been openly supportive of his brother and has penned open letters supporting gay rights and same sex marriage. Colin is thrilled that his brother’s marriage will be legally recognized in their country. He also had some truth for the Catholic Church for taking such a negative stance on the ruling. E! talked to Farrell at the Maui Film Festival, where he was given the Navigator Award. This award “honors a film artist for carving a path of distinction through the turbulent waters of the entertainment industry without sacrificing their fundamental commitment to excellence.”

You can see the video of Colin’s interview on E!, and it’s cute to watch him try to get out everything he has to say about something he cares so deeply about.

How happy he is to see a vote for same sex marriage in Ireland
Thrilled… it was a huge day in the history of our country and I think it [passed] by a healthy enough margin that it [proved] that we have become a really changed people in our outlook and… acceptance… eventually in the world, ideally, I don’t know if we’ll ever get to this day it’s such a messed up world and planet and race that we are inhabiting it, but eventually there’ll be no talk of gay or straight or any of that. Just consenting adults.

On the Catholic Church coming out against gay marriage
I’m not into taunting the other side either… I don’t think that benefit s anyone… It was really funny because one of the arguments when the vote went through was that the church came out and said, ‘You know, this was a dark day for Ireland,’ and all you could see was literally rainbows everywhere, posters of rainbows, T-shirts of rainbows, men and women hugging, men and men hugging, women and women hugging, and yet cut to, ‘This is a dark day in the history of [Ireland], A dark day in the history of a country is internal civil conflict and war and bloodshed and maybe sexual abuse…It was a great day.

[From E! Online]

I loved how Farrell went into some parenthetical statements about the nature of humanity. This was such a great interview to watch. E! also asked Colin if his brother was going to get married again in celebration of the new law and he said “I think it’s time he’ll enjoy a home grown celebration.”

Kaiser, who was gracious enough to send me this story (I let her have Matt Damon so we’re probably even), reminded me that True Detective is returning to HBO on June 21. Farrell of course stars as a detective and tells E! that we can expect change and new characters in this second season, but that there will be a similar “tone and sensibility” in this standalone season. He also did a long interview with Variety in which he discussed the ups and downs of his career and waxed philosophical a little. It’s well worth reading, whether or not you’re a fan. If I wasn’t before, I definitely am now.

I didn’t see these photos until after I wrote this story or I would have gushed even more. Damn.

Tom Hiddleston has been the face and sex-voice of Jaguar for more than a year. Tommy is part of Jaguar’s Good To Be Bad campaign, featuring several British actors known for playing villains, like Tommy, Mark Strong and Ben Kingsley. I guess Mark and Ben’s contracts were not renewed though, because in the newest commercial for Jaguar, they just got Tom and Nicholas Hoult (Bedhead’s boyfriend!). The premise seems to be that Tommy “killed” Mark Strong and Sir Ben and now Lord Dragonfly is in charge of Jaguar’s Villain Unit. And Nicholas Hoult is little helper monkey. The slash fiction just writes itself.

My thoughts… while Mark Strong’s presence in the previous ads gave some manly depth, I think Jaguar probably made the right call to just do Hiddles and Hoult. They are easily two of the cutest young British actors and Jaguar was smart to hire them. Now we just need to see them in the same room while Hiddles whispers directives into Hoult’s ear.

Also: do you think Hiddles was actually interacting with a live jaguar? There were so many shots of his hands petting the kitty, I think maybe?
