Aspiring rapper Chet Haze made the news again. It’s been less than a week since I talked about the 24-year-old, third son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. Chet recently tried to enlighten the world by refusing to stop dropping the “beautiful” n-word. He was very upset about being called out for his use of an offensive term. Chet’s blinded by his own wealth and privilege. He wants to be seen as an authentic rapper and feels like dropping the n-word gives him street cred. Dude is extremely clueless.

Chet’s been in London for the past week. He Instagrammed this picture ^^^ with the following caption: “This trip was a movie. Coming back to LA focused on this music sh*t. Bout to be recording and releasing a lot more. Stay tuned.” This weekend, London got a real taste of Chet Haze. He trashed a hotel room to prove how much of a rap star he is. Or maybe he was blitzed out of his mind. Chet reportedly threw a tantrum about three women who wouldn’t sleep with him, and the fact that no one had any cocaine to give him:

British detectives are hunting Hollywood star Tom Hank’s son after he allegedly smashed up a hotel room in a sex and drugs row. Chester Hanks is said to have gone berserk, causing £1,200 worth of damage when he took three girls back after a late night party.

Shocked staff called police next morning after discovering shattered glass and a TV set ripped off the wall in the four-star room near Gatwick.

A source claimed: “He was pretty obnoxious once he started drinking at the club. He kept saying ‘do you know who I am?’ Nobody was all that impressed and that was clearly annoying him. Nobody recognised him. He then went back to the hotel with a British actor friend and three female promoters. He was sick in the car park and then went up to the room and got really loud.

“He asked the girls if they would join him in the bed, but they are not like that. So he started screaming and making a right noise. He saw some sprinkled make-up called banana powder and started asking ‘who’s got the coke?’ But nobody did drugs there. Then he started shouting that he was not going to share it with another man.”

The source added: “Then all you could hear was this smashing and crashing. Next morning he was gone but the room was trashed. Everything was smashed and there was glass all over the floor.”

Hanks is the third eldest of his famous A-lister father’s four sons. His attempt to make his name in hip hop as ‘Chet Haze’ has brought him ridicule for adopting black culture despite his privileged white upbringing.

In a text to the Sunday Mirror, Chester called the claims “a slanderous bold-faced lie.” He also threatened the “full force of my legal team” but would not comment further.

Just a guess, but Chet Haze promising “the full force of my legal team” probably means, “I’m going to call my dad to bail me out of this situation.” I can’t even imagine how Tom and Rita felt to hear his news. It’s pretty freaking sad.

Chet has a history of drug and alcohol use. Last November, he claimed to be 60 days clean and sober after completing rehab for cocaine addiction. In 2011, Chet told Vice magazine that he always raps about weed because “I wanted to rap about something that I do.” He also added, “I’m not some caricature of a person who just drinks and smokes weed and parties all the time. I’m more complex than that.” Unfortunately, smashing up a hotel room makes Chet look like exactly like a party-boy caricature. I hope he gets help soon.

Jason Statham is so underappreciated, but he probably likes it that way. Dude’s carved a solid career out of B-movies, mostly action, and he loves his job. I’m a huge fan of his intense fighting moves, fetching Cockney accent, and angry strut. His fierce growl? Have mercy. Steve Rose of the Guardian writes of Statham, “When he punches the air, the air screams in pain.” A perfect description.

There were some rumors that Statham was being eyed for the role of Bullseye in season 2 of Daredevil. I knew the gossip wasn’t true, and Statham’s feelings wouldn’t be hurt at all by this “rejection.” Let’s just say that the Statham will never be a Marvel company man. He already poked fun at actors who rely upon stunt doubles. Now he’s adding to the conversation in two deliciously bitchy interviews with A.V. Club and The Guardian:

He thinks today’s superheroes are lame:“I could take my grandma and put her in a cape, and they’ll put her on a green screen and they’ll have stunt doubles come in and do all the action. Anybody can do it. They’re relying on stunt doubles, and green screen, and $200 million budgets, it’s all CGI created. To me, it’s not authentic.”

He offers to jump off a Mayfair hotel: “If someone wants me to jump off this balcony and land on a crash pad, that’s a piece of cake for me.”

His idols did their own fighting: “I’m inspired by the people who could do their own work. Bruce Lee never had stunt doubles and fight doubles, or Jackie Chan or Jet Li. I’ve been in action movies where there is a face replacement and I’m fighting with a double, and it’s embarrassing. But if you really are an aficionado of action movies, you know who’s doing what and who ain’t. To me it’s a little bit sad.”

Would he like to play James Bond? “Could I do it? Abso-f***ing-lutely. Would I do it? Abso-f***ing-lutely. Is Daniel Craig a great Bond? Abso-f***ing-lutely.”

[From AV Club & The Guardian]

On one hand, it’s hilarious how Statham is talking about contemporary superhero actors not being “authentic.” Statham makes believe for a living too. Plus, the ending scene of Crank was ridiculously fake (by necessity). Yet he’s correct. Statham’s sentiment runs parallel to Michael Keaton saying it’s not as hard to play Batman as it used to be. Keaton was tossing shade, but what he said is true.

Studios place a lot of focus upon hiring the right person for a job. Getting hired is the biggest hurdle for superhero roles. Actors still have to do the acting, but there’s no longer a real danger in these roles. Green screens, stunt guys, and marketing teams do the heaviest lifting. This is also why it’s perplexing to witness Robert Downey Jr.’s ego and Chris Evans’ neuroses when, ultimately, they’re guys who pose in front of green screens.

Mama’s mini-me!

In a new Instagram image, Academy Award-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow shares a rare shot of her two kids: daughter Apple, 11, and son Moses, 9.

“Brother proof. Sort of,” the actress, 42, captioned the post.

As it turns out, the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. While both kids are seen holding pet dogs, Gwyneth’s daughter – who was sporting a helmet – looks exactly like her famous mama.

The Iron Man star and her ex, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, spent Mother’s Day together as a family with their children.

Brother proof. Sort of.

Last week, transgender activist and Orange is The New Black star Laverne Cox issued a thoughtful statement about Caitlyn Jenner’s historical Vanity Fair cover. She wrote, in part, that “Most trans folks don’t have the privileges Caitlyn and I now have” and added that she hoped that the love and admiration shown for Caitlyn “can translate into changing hearts and minds about who all trans people are as well as shifting public policies to fully support the lives and well being of all of us.” Laverne also wrote about cisnormative beauty standards and how the most vulnerable trans people, including the poor, women of color and women who do not conform to beauty standards, should be just as safe moving through society as those who do.

There’s a new movement for trans women to pose for their own Vanity Fair covers and post them on social media. Buzzfeed explains that the #MyVanityFairCover movement was started by Crystal Frasier (below) and her roommate Jenn Dolari, who first tweeted “Where’s My Vanity Fair?” This brings more transgender women and more trans issues into the conversation and helps remind us that there so many trans people who are being affected by Caitlyn coming out. Here are a few of the covers posted. Some of these touched me and quite a few made me smile.

I love this! People rag on Caitlyn Jenner, because she can’t escape the fact that she’s part of the Kardashian machine. If she wasn’t in that position, this story might not have the traction it does despite her incredible Olympic accomplishments. For all you can say about Caitlyn Jenner, she’s brought these issues to our attention in a way that’s never been done to date.

Caitlyn has a new official twitter account, as you’ve probably heard, and currently has around 2.5 million followers. She posted this photo on Friday of herself with some girlfriends. #transisbeautiful is the hashtag started by Laverne Cox. Laverne explained during a recent speech that it’s about “people celebrating imperfections” instead of simply striving to blend in.

You can see more covers at MyVanityFairCover.Tumblr.com and on Jenn Dolari’s twitter.

Here are some photos of Kristen Stewart and her girlfriend Alicia Cargile out and about in LA over the weekend. It’s difficult to figure out how long they’ve been together because they were friends for so long and then at some point, friendship crossed over into something else. My guess is that their romantic relationship has been happening for more than a year – the first tabloid stories about them began in April 2014.

As for their style… those mom jeans hurt me. Kristen’s casual street style is so hit or miss – I’ll admit that I’m not a big fan of skinny jeans, but I’ll take skinny jeans over these light-wash mom jeans any day of the week. I feel like Kristen and Alicia have a real thing for the ‘90s look, which is what I grew up with. This is how my friends dressed in the mid ‘90s: bad jeans, Nirvana t-shirt, Chuck Taylors (or Vans), unwashed hair. All we need now is some Patchouli oil, Marlboro Lights and Portishead on the CD player and the ‘90s will officially be back.

Here’s something I missed – Kristen is currently filming or about to film Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk with Oscar-winning director Ang Lee. Per THR:

The film centers around a 19-year-old private (Alwyn) who survives a battle in Iraq, which is captured by news cameras. He and his company of soldiers are brought back to the U.S. for a promotional tour culminating in a halftime show at a Thanksgiving Day football game. Most of the movie takes place during the day of the game, with flashbacks to the wartime events.

[From THR]

Garrett Hedlund is in it, as is Steve Martin and Joe Alwyn. That’s some very good company for Kristen – I’m actually pretty impressed with the projects she’s been taking on. She’s rarely the star, she’s favoring ensemble or supporting work, she’s focusing on indie projects and good directors and she managed to win a Cesar Award. Let’s be honest – she’s figured out a way to transition from the Twilight franchise with more success than Robert Pattinson. Interesting, isn’t it?

Model mom Gisele Bündchen posted a precious picture of her kids via Instagram Sunday.

“And my heart melts,” the Brazilian beauty, 34, captioned the image of 2-year-old Vivian kissing her sleeping brother, Benjamin, 5.

Last month, the supermodel shared a fun image of the three of them jumping on the trampoline.

The model mom raises her cute children with husband, football star Tom Brady.

“I’m very nurturing, I come from a large family and my parents were loving,” Gisele recently shared.

She added: “But the most important thing for me as a mum is to keep my word. When I say no, I mean no. I always say they have all the time in the world to sit there saying, ‘I want it, I want it,’ but they are smart, and if I give in to them they know they can get away with it.”

Gisele is also stepmom to Tom’s 7-year-old son Jack from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.

and my heart melts… ???????? e meu coração se derrete.

A-listers Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were seen departing Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday (June 6).

Joined by their six children – Maddox, nearly 14, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, 9, and twins Knox and Vivienne, nearly 7 – Brangelina tried to keep a low profile while walking through the busy terminal.

The famous family recently celebrated their matriarch’s birthday — Angelina turned 40 on Thursday, June 4.

In a recent interview published on her birthday, the mom-of-six opened up to Interview about directing Unbroken and her feeling about acting.

“My mom always wanted me to be an actor,” Jolie said. “And I started going to theater and going on auditions young. I only realized about five years ago that I actually didn’t want to be an actor.”

She added: “I grew up with my career being thrust upon me. It took me a long time to believe that I could do more than that one aspect of our business.”

Happy belated birthday, Angie!

Country singing superstar Carrie Underwood took to Instagram Saturday with a sweet behind-the-scenes image.

“Isaiah’s first band rehearsal. As you can see, he & his daddy were totally into it! #Naptime #earmuffs #Sweetdreams,” she captioned the backstage photo of her husband, hockey star Mike Fisher, and their 3-month-old son Isaiah taking a snooze.

While wearing a pair of blue noise-canceling headphones, baby Isaiah napped on his papa’s lap who was seen sitting on a comfy couch.

The country star and the Nashville Predators player — who will celebrate their fifth anniversary on July 10 — welcomed their firstborn on Feb. 27.

“Whenever he goes to sleep, I do the things I need to do for myself and make workouts happen when they can,” Carrie recently shared.

In the past few months, the singer has been keeping busy juggling motherhood, music and her new fashion line Calia.

“I really haven’t taken that much time ‘off’ because there are always things to do,” Carrie said. “It’s been really nice to be able to focus my attention on Isaiah and our family. It’s been really good! But it’s been really nice as well to be creative, working on music, working on Calia. Making clothing that every woman can wear and enjoy makes me feel good.”

As for her return to the stage — which kicks off June 9 at the Grand Ole Opry, followed by June 10’s CMT Music Awards and CMA MusicFest on June 13 — the American Idol alum can’t wait to perform.

“I’m excited to get back onstage,” she said.
