We haven’t talked about Robin Thicke in a little while. In case you were wondering, he’s still a douche. The last time anyone discussed him was when he and Pharrell Williams lost the lawsuit brought against them by Marvin Gaye’s estate/family. Thicke and Williams have to pay Gaye’s family $7.3 million. But it ain’t no thang for Mr. Thicke, right? Because having one big summer hit a few years ago is still enough to get him laid for another ten years (Bridget Jones reference!). Following Thicke’s split with Paula Patton, he’s been knee-deep in young groupies. And when he tried to board a plane with his young girlfriend, he ended up causing a commotion:
Robin Thicke annoyed passengers on a red-eye by making out with his 20-year-old girlfriend. Spies said Thicke, 38 — newly divorced from Paula Patton, 39 — boarded a flight from LAX with model April Love Geary, but couldn’t stop canoodling.
“He was standing in the aisle as people boarded, leaning over to make out with her,” sniffed a traveler. “He was blocking the way. She was giggling. It was obnoxious. He was just like, ‘Oh, sorry.’ He knew he was being disruptive.”
Thicke’s rep didn’t respond.

Of course Robin Thicke is the gross older guy blocking a narrow plane aisle so he can make out with and fondle his 20-year-old girlfriend. How else will the other passengers know he’s #Thicke? How else will he let the world know that he’s still the sleazy groper from this photo?
Incidentally, Jezebel did a poll asking if anyone out there would be willing to bang Robin Thicke at this point. The results were… surprising. It seems like there really isn’t a shortage of women willing to have sex with a guy who had a hit song a few years ago.
I think this is the same girlfriend, April Love Geary. She looks like a teenager.

Bradley Cooper was at the MET Gala even though he skipped the carpet. Inside, he and Irina Shayk kept their distance. He was seen talking to JLO before leaving. Afterwards though he and Irina were both at Rihanna’s party with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Madonna, Miley, JB…
Rihanna covered up big time for the Met Gala, but she got her girls out for her afterparty, which was the place to be. Attendees included Jennifer Lawrence, Zoe Kravitz, the Jenner girls, Tyga, Amber Valetta, and Dianna Agron. Page Six says Bradley Cooper was “making out till 3 or 4 in the morning” with Irina Shayk in a corner. One person who was not in attendance? Rita Ora.
I’ve always wondered if Rihanna had a problem with Rita, who I think single-white-femaled Rihanna’s style. The Tom Ford connection illustrates this point. Back in 2012, Tom dressed Rihanna for the Met Gala, and it was an awesome dress. Rihanna referred to Ford as her “baby daddy.” Then something happened. Rihanna and Ford cooled off, and I believe it had something to do with Rihanna never limiting herself to one fashion house. Even the Dior contract hasn’t slowed down Rih’s style. About a year ago, Rita started to cozy up to Ford. He started dressing her for fashion events, and Rita kissed and cuddled him on the red carpet. The display continued at Monday night’s gala. According to The Sun (via The Mirror), Rihanna preemptively banned Rita from her afterparty:
Rihanna reportedly banned Rita Ora from her star-studded Met Gala after party.
The 27-year-old singer – who held the bash at Up & Down nightclub in New York City following the prestigious event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monda – is said to have refused to give Rita an invitation to her event as the pair reportedly can’t stand each other.
Rihanna – who is signed to the same record label, Roc Nation, as the blonde beauty – is said to have seen the opportunity to ban Rita from the star-studded party as a “chance for revenge” and made it clear she wasn’t to be let into the bash under “any circumstances.”
A source told The Sun newspaper: “She has a real issue with Rita and this was her chance for revenge. She made it clear when organising her party that Rita was not to gatecrash under any circumstances.”
Prior to the party, the Rude Boy singer is also said to have spent the night hanging out with Rita’s former best pal Cara Delevingne, which caused a “very icy” atmosphere between the 24-year-old singer and the supermodel.
However an insider close to Rita has insisted she had no plans to attend the after-party and was happy to spend the evening hanging out with Wrecking Ball singer Miley Cyrus instead.
A source said: “It was very icy between Rita and Cara. They spent the night trying to ignore each other. Rita decided to hang out with Miley Cyrus instead. She was never going to attend Rihanna’s party because she’d made plans to go to another bash.”
[From The Mirror]
Such drama! Is all of this bad blood over Tom Ford? Rita and Rihanna share the same record label too. If this story is true, somethings eventually gonna blow at an event. I wouldn’t mess with Rihanna.
Here are some attendees arriving outside Rihanna’s afterparty (with more pics in the gallery). Jennifer Lawrence looks awesome. She should have worn this dress to the gala!

More and more, it feels like marijuana is less of an “issue.” This might have been what it felt like for kids and young adults in the 1960s & 1970s, before the War On Drugs tried to convince people that pot was a stepping stone to crack and heroin. Nowadays, more than half the country believes pot should be legalized in some form. So why is it even noteworthy that a major celebrity was smoking a doob at the Met Gala? Eh.
Lady Gaga was spotted hanging in a corner of her Met Gala after-party with cannabis-loving Miley Cyrus, where guests commented, “It reeked of pot.”
Gaga was seen taking a puff from what looked like a funny-smelling cigarette. Then again, spies at the earlier Met Gala said they saw Gaga slipping out of the party with designer Alexander Wang to smoke a cigarette as guards blocked photographers, and Gaga joked between puffs, “It’s better than trying to sneak a cigarette in the ladies room. I don’t want to get kicked out of the Met.”

Is this really scandalous? Not really. I’m only surprised that Gaga wasn’t partaking in some harder substance at the Met Gala (and everywhere else). I have a hard time believing Gaga or anyone else would be kicked out of the Met Gala for smoking some weed. Hell, I have a hard time believing anyone would be kicked out of the Met Gala for snorting cocaine in the bathroom.
Now, all that being said… Alexander Wang smokes pot?! I bet he’s giggly when he gets high.

As I said during our Met Gala coverage yesterday, this is the smallest I’ve ever seen Beyonce look. Her legs look so tiny! She’s lost significant weight off her face, mid-section, hips and booty. I asked, “Has she been on a crazy diet for six months to wear this dress?” Well, we have our answer. On Monday, People Magazine published this story about Beyonce’s vegan dietician Marco Borges. He’s promoting his diet book, 22-Day Revolution and Beyonce has written the foreword to it. Apparently, she claims that she shed 65 POUNDS on this vegan diet.
The nutritionist behind the revolutionary diet that turned Beyonce from a self-confessed fried-meat addict to a kale-worshiping vegan has released his first book. Marco Borges’s 22-Day Revolution is based around a whole-food plant-based diet, and bans meat, eggs, dairy, alcohol and processed foods for 22 days – the length of time it is thought to take to build new food habits.
Beyonce, 33, who admits to having yo-yo dieted for most of her life, is such a Marco Borge evangelist, she claims it whipped her into the ‘best shape’ of her life, and wrote in the book’s foreword: ‘The truth is that if a Houston-born foodie like me can do it, you can too. You just need to try it for 22 days.’ She embarked on Mr Borge’s regime in November 2013, along with husband Jay Z, 45.
‘Our hometown favourites were fried chicken, fajita tacos, BBQ burgers, BBQ rips, fried shrimp, and Po’ boy sandwiches,’ she says of her youth, adding that her food choices were ‘silently sabotaging’ her health. The Flawless singer, who claims she lost 65lbs on Mr Borge’s regime, is famous for having dallied with extreme diets including the Master Cleanse, which involves consuming nothing but a mixture of water, lemon, maple syrup and cayenne pepper.
‘After having my daughter, I made a conscious effort to regain control of my health and my body,’ she continues. ‘But I didn’t want to do a crash diet. I was a mom now. I needed to change my ways and set an example for my child.’
After adopting the 22-Day Revolution plan, also favoured by Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce was hooked on the lifestyle.
‘We celebrated my husband’s birthday with an all-vegan party,’ Beyonce wrote. ‘I can still see the reaction on our friends’ faces. Some were extremely excited while others had some reservations, but in the end, we all enjoyed it immensely.’
[From The Daily Mail]
If you were just scanning the story, you might think that Beyonce lost 65 pounds in 22 days. She did not. The timeline is as follows: Beyonce still had some baby/pillow weight in 2013 when she started the 22-Revolution in November 2013. She used to the 22 days to develop new eating habits and now she’s vegan (or mostly vegan?) and still doing the program now, 16 months later. And in those 16 months, she claims she’s lost 65 pounds. Has she though? I think she’s lost a lot of weight in the past year, of course. But 65 pounds?
PS… This is my new favorite tweet of all time.

What a lil’ cutie!
Furious 7 actress Jordana Brewster touched down at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday (May 4). The actress, 35, traveled with her adorable 1-year-old son Julian, who was all smiles while picking up their luggage.
Last month, we spotted the mother-son duo at a doctor’s appointment in Beverly Hills.
“I am happiest when I hear my son giggle,” the proud mama recently shared. “He has the best laugh I have ever heard.”

I am a big Joel McHale fan, so I was disappointed to read on Radar Online that Joel allegedly mocked Bruce Jenner in emails uncovered as part of the Sony hack. Radar claims that “In another mean-spirited message Community writer and actor Joel McHale allegedly sent to Sony President Steve Mosko, an online report that [sic] detailed how Jenner was taunted on the golf course he played at in Thousand Oaks.” McHale sent that message, which was simply the text of this TMZ report, to Sony President Steve Mosko. Mosko responded from his phone “Ha!!!!!!!!!!” which Radar claims is “a cold response to the story that McHale sent.”
The thing is, if you read the actual text of the message/original report, it’s about Jenner basically owning the bullies in the locker room. TMZ reports that Jenner was taunted, but they’re really positive toward Jenner and make him sound like the winner in this scenario. So McHale’s original forward and Mosko’s response seem like support for Jenner rather than any kind of shade. Here’s the original message, via Wikileaks:
From: “Mosko, Steve”

> Bruce Jenner has been taunted where he golfs everyday … by a few jerks who think Bruce’s new look doesn’t belong on the links or in the locker room. Sources connected with Bruce tell TMZ … almost everyone who golfs with Bruce at his country club in Thousand Oaks has been gracious … but several people are acting like 14-year-old boys. In one case … a golfer passed Bruce on the green and screamed out, “How’s your d**k” … suggesting it might not be there much longer. Bruce was cool — he laughed and responded by pointing to his crotch and saying, “It’s right here. It hasn’t worked in 20 years.” Another guy heckled Bruce in the locker room, mocking his ombre hairstyle and threatening to cut it off. Bruce still goes to the club religiously, and most people treat him warmly and with respect. As for the 2 idiots … it’s 2014, and people have a right to live their lives the way they want as long as they don’t hurt anyone. And Bruce can probably kick their asses in golf. (TMZ)”

So how is this “mean-spirited” or taunting at all? It’s possible that Joel is forwarding the message because of Jenner triumphing over the bullies, and it’s possible that Steve is saying “ha!” because Jenner responded in a self-deprecating and funny way. To me, this email chain reads like an acknowledgment that Jenner is handling jerks well. This is the problem I have with the wikileaks Sony material, it’s been interpreted in all sorts of ways without people linking to the original emails.
Radar also claims that director Cameron Crowe and former Sony exec Amy Pascal were mocking Jenner. They sort-of were, but it was more on Cameron than Amy. Cameron used the phrase “does Bruce Jenner want boobs?” as one might use the phrase “does a bear sh*t in the woods?” Here’s that exchange (which we covered briefly in an earlier story about the hack.)
From: “Cameron Crowe”

That was tasteless and uncalled for, but it’s not the worst. Plus, who uses all caps in messages anymore? I guess people who make transphobic jokes do.
In conclusion, Joel McHale did not mock Bruce Jenner, he forwarded a TMZ report about Jenner owning bullies. Crush intact.
