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.

Lizzie McGuire alum Hilary Duff and her mother Susan Colleen threw her older sister Haylie Duff a flower-covered baby shower at Hilary’s house in Los Angeles, Calif. on Saturday (March 7).

About 40 close friends and family members were in attendance, including Lauren Conrad, Kaley Cuoco, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Ali Fedotowsky, Lacey Chabert, Beverley Mitchell, Marla Sokoloff and Joanna Garcia.

Donning flower crowns from The Bouqs, guests noshed on pastel-colored cupcakes and Steve’s Ice Cream. The Duff sisters shared a Flipagram slideshow of pictures from the afternoon soirée.

“Sissy @haylieduff you are the most beautiful sister/mom to be and I love you so much! Happy baby shower day! Thank you to so many for coming and a big thanks to @donatiennela @hannahskvarla @ashleybeverly @thecrowncollective @lowenban @realjoseph #mhbabylove,” Hilary, 27, Instagrammed the pictures.

In one of the images, Haylie, 30, and her fiancé Matt Rosenburg are holding a baby with Hilary’s smiling face.

“@haylieduff and @subwaytileshirts what if this is what u get?? Meeeeeeee???!!!!” Hilary captioned the fun shot.

Sissy @haylieduff you are the most beautiful sister/mom to be and I love you so much! Happy baby shower day! Thank you to so many for coming and a big thanks to @donatiennela @hannahskvarla @ashleybeverly @thecrowncollective @lowenban @realjoseph #mhbabylove

Dear Gossips,

Have you seen those throwback Ryan Gosling dance videos yet? The Internet seems to be losing its mind over them.

Because it’s Ryan Gosling, the human hug pillow.

To his credit, he had a great response:

Obviously I peaked early. Thank you @JaneChu…      

Even though Mo’nique’s HuffPo interview was relatively short, I found it exhausting. She is an exhausting person. Mo’nique has been promoting a new film, which is why she’s giving so many interviews lately, but I also feel like… did she go off her meds or something? She’s been quiet for years, then all of a sudden, it’s like she’s trying to create some major war with Lee Daniels and she’s making these grand pronouncements about how she was offered this juicy role or that great part but everything’s fine because she loves herself and she has integrity and everyone is lying but Mo’nique (and yes, she refers to herself in the third person a lot).

The latest is that she’s still insisting that she was offered the role of Cookie in the new mega-hit TV show Empire. The role is being owned by Taraji Henson, who is always amazing. And even though everyone involved with Empire says Taraji was always their Cookie, Mo’nique still won’t shut up about it. And everything else. You can read the full HuffPo piece here. Some highlights:

The speculation that Fox executives said she was difficult to work with: “You know, it doesn’t disappoint me because I haven’t heard Fox say that. That came from Mr. Daniels. I can’t be disappointed in Fox for anything because it’s hearsay. It came from someone else; it’s just what it is. What I will say is, when you ask someone about things that they know are not true, I’m not the type of person that will just sit down and be quiet and allow you to do that. There are so many people that sit down and be quiet, and they will suffer in silence. I just refuse to be silent when you say that “Mo’Nique is demanding,” “Mo’Nique is difficult.” But you never say, “Well, what were her demands? And what was she difficult in?” Those questions have never been asked. We’ll just accept it and we’ll just put it out there. See, for me, you’ve got to explain what you’re saying. If you’re going to accuse me of something, you have to explain what it is that you’re accusing me of.

Empire director Danny Strong “questioning” whether Mo’nique was ever offered a role: “My baby, Danny Strong didn’t question it — he tweeted out a statement saying, “Mo’Nique was never offered it.” And as I said on “Access Hollywood,” “Guys, I have that email to show those communications.” The one thing I am not, I am not a liar. I take pride in the character of who I am, and I take pride in my integrity. So I’m not pulling anything out of the air. People want to make this a competition. “Is it Taraji? Is it Mo’Nique?” Taraji is my girl, and I’m so happy and proud of my sister. She is the best and baddest Cookie that the world could ever see. However, it has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with, “Mr. Daniels, you’re putting my character in a place where people could question me, and you and I know, along with my husband Sidney, that those aren’t the right conversations you’re putting out there.” Now, for Mr. Strong, I understand why he’s doing what he’s doing, because he’s believing his friend. His friend, Mr. Daniels, says, “We didn’t offer Mo’Nique those things.” Well, he’s going to be supportive of his friend and his business partner, and I respect people like that. Whereas I say to Mr. Strong, “Will you speak as loudly when you find out that you’re incorrect?”

[From HuffPo]

She then goes on to say that she would work with Lee Daniels again, no problem. Which makes NO SENSE because she basically blames Daniels for everything that’s gone wrong with her career… except nothing has gone wrong with Mo’nique’s career, in Mo’nique’s mind, and she has the receipts to prove it. What is the point of all this? I have no idea. Even if Mo’nique is telling the truth about being offered Cookie in Empire (which is doubtful), why even bring it up? It’s unprofessional and rude to discuss what roles you were offered.

Gwyneth Paltrow did an interview with Bloomberg News on Friday. I wish I could say that I poured over the video, hanging on her every word, but I had to stop the video about one minute in because her voice gets on my last nerve. If you’re made of stronger stuff, you can watch the video here. Thankfully, other sites had already pulled the best quotes. Gwyneth talked to Bloomberg News about Goop and how she’s an entrepreneur and businesswoman and brand nowadays. Which she is, I guess, although her focus is so narrow, it’s a wonder she makes any profit from peasants actually buying her crap. Some highlights:

Whether Goop.com is “out of touch”: “I think there is sometimes a miscommunication. We aren’t a super-luxury site but we’re aspirational. We have things on there that cost $4. We have things on there that cost $500. Sometimes I think that some of the criticism Goop gets is because people haven’t actually gone to the site and looked around and seen what we actually are.”

She doesn’t want to be super-involved with Goop in 20 years: “I very much want Goop to be its own stand-alone brand. I know at this point it’s inextricably me but we are a team of amazing people who bring incredible ideas to the site and it’s not only me. My dream would be that in 20 years, people would sort of recollect that I maybe had something to do with it at one point and my involvement would be less essential. I never wanted to do a proprietary brand. I wanted it to be its own thing that my children could run one day if they wanted to.”

Starting her own business: “I was a fool and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. But I have to say it’s been incredibly rewarding. I learn so much every day and we’re in a really exciting time in the business right now and it’s amazing to be the creative force and also to understand what’s going on on the fiscal side and with raising money and all of that. It’s very challenging. It’s a side to me that I didn’t necessarily know that I possess.”

[From E! News]

I think she has learned a lot on the job (if you want to call it that) with Goop. I still visit Goop every now and then to see what she’s shilling, and the site is much more efficiently organized and well-run than it was in its first years. But will Goop be a stand-alone brand that will still be around in 20 years? Eh. I have my doubts. People like Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Lopez have successful brands because A) they actually make affordable stuff for peasants and B) because they work with major retailers (I think J.Lo is exclusive to Kohl’s now?). Will we see Goop at Macy’s? Or will Goop always be a minor little niche?

And Gwyneth is talking out of both sides of her mouth on the “out of touch” criticism – Goop is the very definition of “stuff rich people like.” She’s shilling $1100 blazers (the largest size is 10, because Goop has a “no fatties” rule) and $650 shorts.
