Kaiser already covered the Katy Perry fashion week photos from the Givenchy show. These are pictures of Katy wearing one of her Lolita-type outfits at the Jeremy Scott event. After her fashion week visit, Katy immediately went back to touring. She does work hard, but she’s in Amsterdam now, so will she party hard? Katy called Elvis Duran yesterday to talk about how she won’t partake of Amsterdam’s abundant marijuana supply:

She doesn’t like pot: “I’m going to go to the red light district tonight, actually, but let me just say this. Weed doesn’t agree with me! I turn into more of a weirdo than I actually am. I don’t really even do cocktails anymore. There’s a certain point in your life where you just turn to red wine, and that’s kind of the point I’ve turned to … A nice Malbec–I love a nice Malbec.”

Her current food habits: “I’m eating myself around the world. I was doing that kind of pseudo-Paleo think before the Super Bowl, because I had like a real goal,” she said. “And then, like the moment I got offstage, I had a Papa John’s pizza waiting for me with extra garlic sauces! I’ve just been kind of eating! I’ve been to all these great places in Italy, and all of these great place in France and had all the food that goes along with it. But I do have to shoot something important coming up in about three weeks, so I’m back to like digesting oatmeal and asparagus.”

Cardio doesn’t help her anymore: “My body’s gotten used to it, so that it just doesn’t care anymore. As you get older, it’s more about what you eat [and] less about your movement, I think. It’s really about what you put into your body.”

[From Elvis Duran & the Morning Show]

Katy and I have a few things in common here. I don’t dislike weed on principle. I tried to give it the old college try (in college). Tried it a handful of times, and it just wasn’t my thing because … munchies. Inhaling an entire plate of nachos in five minutes feels good for five minutes, and then it feels awful. But wine, yes. I love a nice, moderately priced merlot in the form of a Bota Box. So classy!

Incidentally, Elvis Duran once described Katy as “fun” but “a little guarded.” I agree. Katy behaves like an airhead because that’s her shtick, but she’s a shrewd businesswoman at heart. She still has terrible taste in men.

Here are some photos of Sean Penn and his girlfriend (ugh!) Charlize Theron at the LA premiere of his film, The Gunman, last night. Charlize looks pretty in this relatively simple Gucci minidress. She has a killer body, so she can wear pretty much anything. Am I the only one wondering what Charlize’s reaction was to Robin Wright’s Vanity Fair cover interview? Robin threw some magnificent shade at Sean, making him sound cruel and like he wasn’t really all that great as a lover. Which is weird, because I kind of think Charlize has been in a total sex haze for the past year with Sean.

Meanwhile, Penn appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night (was he there at the same time as Pres. Obama?!) and Penn mentioned that he and Charlize watch The Bachelor together. Which is… um…??? If you care about The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Penn is Team Kaitlyn (for the new Bachelorette). Penn also says that he and Charlize argue about what parts they should fast-forward through, because he doesn’t “really want to hear the conversations…I want to know the decisions. Is he gonna decide on this one or this one? And I want to see somebody cry. And then see somebody get ecstatic – and then see them cry.” This is like the very definition of random.

Oh, I’m also including photos of Pamela Anderson with her son Brandon Thomas Lee. Good God, look at Brandon!!! He’s 18 years old now. Pam looks good, although that hair is totally Laura Bush. I get that Pam wants a more conservative look, but there are many other cute, age-appropriate hairstyles .

These are photos of Giuliana Rancic in Sydney yesterday at the ASTRA Awards, which honor Australian television. Giuliana is wearing a full length sequin and lace gown by Australian designer Alex Perry. It’s got a white bodice peeking through the top and an empire waist that hides her tiny figure in layers of fabric. At the ASTRA Awards, someone at The Daily Mail’s Australian division asked Giuliana about all the stories that she’s too thin. Giuliana gave a kind of diplomatic non-response. She said: “I think the best thing to do, honestly, is not even talk about it. You know? As long as you know the truth, that’s all that matters.”

The Mail points out that Giuliana spoke at length about this issue in 2013 to The Huffington Post. She said she had a fast metabolism and that she eat and exercises a lot. “I know the truth. I know that I eat a lot and I take walks and I have a faster metabolism. I always thought it would catch up to me and it hasn’t quite yet. I’m not trying to be cocky. Anyone who knows me knows I am the least arrogant person. I’m just trying to be honest.” This time, Giuliana figured she may as well not defend herself again, but she’s still using the same “I know the truth” line. That was probably the best way to handle it, because she’ll just keep the story going otherwise.

Speaking of keeping the story going, now that the dust has cleared and new host Kathy Griffin has quit Fashion Police, just like Kelly Osbourne, Giuliana and Brad Goreski are the only two panel members left standing. As Bedhead reported earlier, Fashion Police’s next episode will air on March 30. It’s thought that they’ll add some Kardashians to the panel, which would be a bad idea for so many fug, pinocchio butt, stunt queen reasons.

Also, Giuliana dyed her hair brown and got bangs. This not a great look for her. The darker hair seems to suit her better overall, but I’m not fond of that cut. I blame Dakota Johnson.

She Bangs. #freshcut by @colorbyyvonne and @extbymissbrown. For those asking…color is @vidalsassoonproseries #Salonist in medium gold brown. Love!!!!

Since I don’t watch Spanish-language television, I really have no idea who “Rodner Figueroa” is beyond the meager description of “a newly disgraced ex-Univision host.” Univision and Telemundo are the top-rated Spanish-language networks in North America, and apparently Figueroa is a relatively well-known TV host on Univision. He’s even won a Daytime Emmy.

Figueroa was part of a segment on El Gordo Y La Flaca in which he was talking about makeup transformations with a makeup artist names Paolo Ballesteros. At some point during the segment, Figueroa pointed to a photo of Michelle Obama and said, “Mind you, you know that Michelle Obama looks like she’s part of the cast of Planet of the Apes, the film.” You know what gets so completely exhausting? The fact that the Obamas have been in the White House for more than six years and people still think it’s “funny” or appropriate to compare them to monkeys, whether it’s a Univision host or senior officials in Ferguson, Missouri.

Anyway, after Figueroa made the comment, the other host, Raul de Molina, seemed shocked by the comments apparently. Social media blew up, justifiably. And within just a few hours, Univision had fired Figueroa. I kind of love that they didn’t half-ass it and “suspend” him while the situation was “investigated” or whatever. Univision released a statement too:

“Yesterday during our entertainment program El Gordo y La Flaca, Rodner Figueroa made comments regarding First Lady Michelle Obama that were completely reprehensible and in no way reflect Univision’s values or views. As a result, Mr. Figueroa was immediately terminated.”

[From E! News]

That’s the way to do it, man. Say something awful and ADIOS. I should note that Figueroa has released his own lengthy statement directed to Michelle Obama personally, offering his “sincerest apologies” and saying in part:

“I want to make it clear that I’m not racist and my comment wasn’t directed personally to you, but to the characterization of the artist, that left a lot to be desired. The clip in full context is proof. I feel embarrassed, I ask for forgiveness, because there is no excuse for a professional like me to make those types of comments that can be interpreted as offensive and racist in a volatile moment that we live in our country. I take full responsibility for the lack of judgement in my part, but I can’t accept that I am being called a racist, being fired for that reason and being humiliated by Univision after working there for 17 years. I come from a bi-racial Latin family, with family members, like my father, who is Afro-Latino. I am the first presenter on Hispanic TV that is openly gay and I am an activist for causes that favor minorities that have been discriminated against just like me. I openly voted twice for your husband Barack Obama, because I consider him a great man that respects minorities, like me, in this country.”

[From Latin Times]

I think it’s perfectly possible that he made a terrible mistake and he wasn’t trying to say something awful, disrespectful and racist about FLOTUS. I also think it’s possible that he doth protest too much. What’s Michelle’s verdict?

Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian and North West leaving Paris yesterday via Charles de Gaulle airport. Kanye didn’t travel with them, so I’m kind of wondering if ‘Ye is going to stick around Paris for a while with Riccardo Tisci. Perhaps. Considering these photos include some close-ups of Kim’s hairline roots, I thought this would be a good opportunity to discuss all of the myriad conspiracy theories involved with Kim’s now eight-day-old blonde hair. You’d be surprised just how many variations there are.

*In Touch Weekly says that Kanye “made” Kim go blonde and she hates it and can’t wait to go back to brown/black.

*Kim told Us Weekly that after the initial “one-take” process in LA, she added $500 worth of highlights in Paris because she didn’t think her LA hair people “fully got the color right.” She also says that she went blonde for fun, because “why not?”

*Radar says that Kim’s hair is now completely damaged and some stands are “starting to break off.” Kim “feels like she’s going bald. She’s freaking out that it won’t grow back the same.”

*Radar also has an insider who theorizes that Kim didn’t actually go completely blonde. The insider says Kim is wearing a partial blonde wig and “the first top quarter of her hair in the front is bleached, but the rest isn’t. It’s bleached on the top and sides – and the rest is a wig. It’s parted perfectly and at different lengths and you always see the front of her head so it looks like it’s all normal, but it’s trickery. The rest of her hair is still brown. Just watch, you’ll see her go back to brunette like it’s no problem at all complete with healthy, shiny hair. That’s because it’s fake. It’s definitely not all bleached.”

So you think she’s wearing a wig? I do not. It’s not that I think that kind of attention-grabbing stunt queen move is beyond her, it’s just that I’ve been looking at her hair from all angles for a week, and I feel pretty confident saying that she really did bleach all of her hair. You can see her roots coming in from all angles too. Yeah… stunt queen is stunt queening, but she really did do the stunt. She really did go blonde.

It’s hard out here for a platinum pimp! Thank you @FredericMennetrier for touching up my blonde!

President Obama appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. Some people hate that Obama does these “soft” appearances, but every president does softer interviews at this point. I feel like most of the complaints about Obama’s late-show appearances are because he’s actually good at being self-deprecating, funny and interesting, and he appeals to the younger demo.

Here’s Obama reading “mean tweets” – some of these were actually sort of funny. I like that Kimmel didn’t choose the really terrible tweets. Not that he ever does with other celebrities, but I feel like the “TCOT” tweeters really go crazy bashing Obama and Kimmel just ignored them.

In the real interview, Kimmel asked Obama about everything that’s been going down in Ferguson, Missouri. After the Department of Justice released their scathing and shocking report on what has been going down in and around Ferguson’s police force and local leadership, the people of Ferguson have been (justifiably) protesting. Many significant figures have stepped down (or been fired). Then on Wednesday night, two police officers were shot in the middle of a protest near one police station. The police officers are out of the hospital now and expected to make a full recovery, but Obama had to walk a fine line – he had to show support to the protesters (he says that what was going down in Ferguson was “worthy of protest”) while still making the argument that violence against police officers is never acceptable.

And in this part, Kimmel asks Obama about his daily life. The funniest part is when Kimmel asks whether Obama ever drives and they have a funny exchange about birth certificates and Kenyans driving on the other side of the road.

This is just a little part where Kimmel asks Obama about Kanye. Obama says he’s only met Kanye twice and that he doesn’t have Kanye’s home number.

Thursday afternoon, I fell down an Alexander McQueen rabbit hole and it took me a while to refocus. One of the photo agencies, WENN, posted all of these photos of the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, and I don’t even want to admit how long I gaped at the photos of some of McQueen’s most famous looks, taken straight from the archives. The exhibition looks SO GOOD. And last night, some big names came out to celebrate the exhibition and honor the late McQueen (described by many as a beautiful monster himself).

It was actually one of the biggest A-list gatherings I’ve seen on a British red carpet in a while, excluding major awards shows. Most of the A-list women likely plucked some of their vintage-y McQueen gowns from their closets, and only a few wore McQueen’s most iconic looks. Surprisingly, FKA Twigs was one of the few to really BRING IT. Look at how amaze-balls Twigs looks in McQueen’s iconic “Birds of Paradise” gown. So great.

I love this deconstructed tuxedo look on Princess Beatrice. I love that she came out for this exhibit too. The most famous royal woman to wear McQueen? Duchess Kate. But Kate’s not about to walk this carpet in her wedding gown, is she? So I’m glad we have Beatrice. And I guess she’s not at school in America right now.

Beatrice’s friend Cressida Bonas breezed through the red carpet very quickly. She didn’t stop and pose for the cameras at all. Which is what you can do if you are, say, Kate Moss. But Moss wasn’t “above” posing on the carpet. Why is Cressida so overwhelming famous all of a sudden? Also: Cressida has bangs trauma now. Just say no to bangs, ladies.

David Beckham’s face says “I can’t believe Posh never changes her f—king pose.”

Naomie Harris – one of the few ladies wearing a bold color. I think so much of her beauty and this color looks amazing on her.

Kate Moss wore one of the more demure and conservative looks from McQueen. I feel like this is something she’s had in her closet/archives for a while, right?

François-Henri Pinault and Salma Hayek. Salma used to wear a TON of McQueen stuff, years ago. She was really into McQueen’s insect line, so I’m surprised to see her in a look I would associate more with Sarah Jessica Parker.

Here’s Naomi Campbell, being escorted by Andre Balazs, ex-boyfriend/lover to Chelsea Handler and Uma Thurman. I wonder if Naomi and Andre are back on?

Never before has a set of dreadlocks met such an extended aftermath of drama. We talked yesterday about Kathy Griffin’s reaction after Giuliana Rancic mocked Zendaya Coleman’s Oscar dreadlocks on E!’s Fashion Police. This scandal has dragged on for weeks, and it’s the most interesting piece of gossip to come out of the Oscars. Everyone’s burnt out on the topic by now, and Zendaya’s completely over it too.

Kathy opened the subject again for discussion. She threw her co-worker under the bus and talked smack about her employer. Kathy confirmed how the entire show is rehearsed, and most of the jokes aren’t written by the hosts. Kathy also trashed E! for wanting to start a “wh*re score” segment. If that last part is true, E! is completely out of line. But Kathy shouldn’t have gone public with that info unless she was prepared to leave her job. Guess what? Kathy quit the show after 7 episodes. Here’s her Twitter message:

“When I chose to step into the shoes of my beloved Joan Rivers … I was thrilled to continue her legacy as a woman being brash and eccentric on television. I am a freedom-loving female and gay rights activist who loves to find the funny in all people, attitudes, beliefs, and appearances, but only when the context permits intelligent humor. I thought that I could bring my brand of humor … so that beautiful people in beautiful dresses could be teased when appropriate. My brand of humor, while unrepentant and unafraid, is all about CONTEXT. There is plenty to make fun of in pop culture without bringing people’s bodies into it. Listen, I am no saint – I’m a feminist AND a Gurrrl who loves an offensive joke or a well-timed barb and you will find plenty in my repertoire. But I do not want to use my comedy to contribute to a culture of unattainable perfectionism and intolerance towards difference. I want to help women, gay kids, people of color and anyone who feels underrepresented to have a voice and a LAUGH! … I discovered that my style does not fit with the creative direction of the show and now it’s time to move on … How’s that for #unapologetic?”

[From Kathy Griffin on Twitter]

Should we applaud Kathy for leaving? It sounds like E! got really upset about yesterday’s interview, and Kathy decided to walk without hesitation. E! issued a confirmation: “We can confirm that Kathy Griffin is leaving E!’s Fashion Police … [the show] will return, as scheduled, on March 30 with our talented co-hosts Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski. No further information is available at this time.”

BAM. Kelly Osbourne left two weeks ago. Now Kathy Griffin is gone too. Michael K. at DListed has a hunch that the entire cast could be replaced by Kardashians. That wouldn’t surprise me, but really, it’s time for Fashion Police to receive a mercy killing. This show is SO over.

Here are some photos of Giuliana at the Azura awards last night.

Shailene Woodley covers the April issue of Elle magazine. She’s wearing a Balmain bodysuit. Her bod looks fantastic, but I’m disappointed by the lack of Shailene’s fabled hairy pits. They probably ‘shopped out the hair for a fashion magazine. The makeup artist must have been asleep too. They made her look like Kristen Stewart, right?

This interview is classic Shailene. She rambles to Elle about ler love for love, warriors, and her kick-ass grandma. I’ve included some of her interview with MTV where she doles out diet tips. Shailene has developed an obsession with bone broth, which she sees as a way to “honor the animal.” She’s very excited about this newfound discovery:

On loooove: “I’m all-loving. I fall in love with people based on who they are. I never want to love like this [holds arms outstretched]. I always want to love like this [thrusts her arms behind her back, pressing her chest forward]. Heart centered, like, ‘This is who I am! And I love you if you love me for who this person is. And if not, I’ll still love you, but I ain’t fallin’ in love with you!’ When you’re truly in love, for me, it’s … you’re my lighthouse! You’re somebody who holds me high, keeps me safe, you’ve got my f***in’ back.You also love me whole, wild, and free. You let me do me, and I’m gonna let you do you! And I’ll be the home that you return to.”

Her warrior family: “I was born into a family of warriors, really strong people. It doesn’t mean that it was an easy childhood and we didn’t have our s–t, because every family does behind closed doors. But even though my parents are divorced, they get along. I have a family who every day strives to do the right thing. My Grams is the most banging 69-year-old I’ve ever met in my life. She’s so fit. She’s so rad.”

Her latest health tip: “Bone broth. I am telling you, it is the sh*t. It is everything. You take bones from animals, it sounds pretty gnarly, but if you’re gonna eat a steak, there’s gonna be bones involved, so you may as well honor the animal and utilize them. You just brew it in water and a crockpot. Add some onions and garlic. Oh my god, it’s heaven. It tastes so good, and if you want, you can blend it with coconut oil, and it’s delicious.”

[From Elle & MTV]

She’s so freaking wacky. Shailene’s bone broth must be (in her mind) a cleansing agent. Sort of like how she swallows clay to remove heavy metals from her bod. She probably swigs her bone broth and runs onto the beach to catch some “gnarly” waves. Is the bone broth thing gross? I’m vegetarian, so it sounds nasty on this end. But isn’t most chicken and beef-type stock derived from bones? Educate me, omnivores.

For what it’s worth, MTV talked to Shailene’s Insurgent costars about her health tips. Ansel Elgort says Shailene won’t let him eat more than one type of meat during a meal (he prefers to stack his plate with fish, pork, chicken, and steak all at once). Theo James talks about how Shailene made him take a “throat coat.” Only Jai Courtney stands firm in his convictions: “I ignore any health tips from Shailene.” LMAO.

This editorial shot from Elle is much better than the cover.

Kevin Bacon has a new interview with Haute Living Magazine. He’s promoting his Fox show, The Following, which I HATED. I watched the first season and while there were some interesting moments, the show is a mess and I thought it was sort of beneath Bacon’s talents as an actor. I have high expectations for both Kevin and his wife Kyra Sedgwick. Kyra’s amazing turn on The Closer ranks as one of my favorite female-driven shows in recent memory (Bacon directed several episodes too). Anyway, Bacon’s interview is worth a read because he rarely does in-depth interviews like this and because he’s actually got a lot of interesting stuff to say about life, Hollywood, money and fame. Some highlights:

Being afraid of television work: “People would say, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to have a steady gig?’ and I’d say, ‘I don’t want a f****ng steady gig! I want to do this and go here, and play this guy, and this guy, and this guy. [Kyra and I] are road warriors; our kids are road warriors. It’s part of why I was always a little afraid of television. When I started being an actor, the last thing I wanted to do was a TV series. It might be hard for people to remember, but in the 1970s when I started, there were TV actors and movie actors; they weren’t the same. You’d be in television until you’d be able to get a career in movies, and then you’d never look back. I wanted to do stage and movies, but I really didn’t want to do television.”

He loves TV now: “This is the golden age of TV. I love TV. It’s shifting in a really remarkable way. Creatively, it’s gotten better and better….Great writing makes great television. I wanted a good, complicated part—and that’s what television was offering.”

When he decided to do TV, he wanted a cable show: “With my snobbery, I was like, ‘The show has to be on HBO or Showtime.’ Over the course of the years, it could have been AMC or FX, but it definitely couldn’t be network.”

He’s in ‘Black Mass’, the Whitey Bulger film: “I have a supporting part with a really great cast, [including] Johnny Depp, Benedict Cumberbatch and Joel Edgerton. Black Mass was an interesting part for me, because I play the boss. Again, I’m an FBI agent—in this case, running the Boston field office. I’m the guy that’s pissed off at the younger agents. I’ve never played this guy before—I’m always the guy that’s getting yelled at by the boss. It was kind of fun, but also kind of a realization that ‘OK, I’m old enough to play the boss.’”

Losing millions in Bernie Madoff’s 2008 Ponzi scheme: “It was a bad day, an absolutely horrible feeling, but you roll up your sleeves and get back to work. There was nothing that I had at that point that my wife and I hadn’t worked very hard for. We kind of said though, ‘Well, our families are OK, the kids are healthy, and we’re healthy; we’ll get back to work.’ What else are you going to do? There are a lot of people who had it a lot worse than we did.”

Learning to really love LA: “For my wife and I, for so many years, a lot of our identity was based on being Hollywood haters. We were like, ‘We’re east coast. We’re New Yorkers. This is just a place that we have to come to, but not by choice’…We had a giant shift in our lives. We were about to leave for the last time—Kyra was done with the show and we were packing up to go… We were having a conversation and Kyra said, ‘I’m really going to miss this.’ I said, ‘I’m really going to miss this too.’ So I called up a real estate broker and found a little house that was literally steps away from the last place we were renting, and now we’re truly bi-coastal. We have realized that we love [Los Angeles] and have really embraced it.”

He’s never been Oscar-nominated: “I go back and forth on it. I kind of feel like, ‘What am I doing wrong?’ Sometimes I think, ‘You’ve just got to let yourself off the hook about it.’ I’m still able to make a living being an actor, and that is a tough thing to do for as many years as I’ve done it; I feel good about that. As much as I would love to have any kind of statue that I could, when people tell me they love the show [it’s enough]. If you could bottle that or put that on your mantle…The awards do afford you opportunities, and that would be something that would be nice to crack. When studios are putting together financing for a movie, they would love nothing better than something that says, ‘Oscar-nominated’ or ‘Oscar-winning.’ Those kind of things open up more doors, and that’s really what you want to do as you get to be my age—you want to keep doors open.”

[From Haute Living]

You know what I love? He mentions “Kyra” or “my wife” about a million times in the interview. They’ve been married for 26 YEARS. And they’ve been good years too, years of raising their children and working on good projects and it’s a life they’ve spent wholly together, as true partners. And after all of that, you can just feel the love between them still.

As for the Oscar stuff… I feel like if someone gives him a really great supporting film role, he will end up getting an Oscar nomination and maybe even winning it, like a lifetime achievement for decades of good work (which is what just happened with JK Simmons).

Bacon also goes on at length about fame and how it’s “99.9% good” to be famous, that famous people are treated differently (better) but that yeah, in some smaller ways it’s sucks. He also drops this quote: “I’ve always said before that there are two kinds of actors: actors that want to be famous, and liars.” Word.
