Drew looks like she knows a secret

She does: the truth behind "twinning"

Oh Alyson Hanigan :(

It disturbs me just how Used To the paparazzi Suri is. She's going to be worse than Paris Hilton

A new Royal puppy? Do people actually care about this stuff?

Gwen has evil eyes 

Steve Carell: In my wildest dreams I never thought-well, I never thought I'd work. [What did he really want to say?]

Sofia Vergara: Accents are funny. It sets me apart from the other girls doing comedy.

Cloontang: I got it (SAG card) from Riptide. It was fantastic. Are you kidding? It was a great moment of my life because I was lying about being in SAG for a year at that point.

Kyra Sedgwick: I love actors. I love everything they do and who they are. [That sounds rather programmed and shallow! Or evil and scary!]

Michelle Williams: I won't let myself shrink away from a challenge. While my mind is saying "retreat, retreat, retreat!" my heart is already there... [Very telling! She's received much attention as of late for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe]

Leonardo DiCaprio: The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it... [Another telling statement]

Viola Davis: I am not gonna tell you what I did to pay for the SAG card, because I didn't make enough in the movie to pay for it! [She kinda just did tell us!] 

Lost vapid stare

"It wasn't a suicide attempt...it was a mismatch of chemicals that freaked everyone out. She has a problem with alcohol." Why is it called the Los Robles Hospital and Medical Centre?

Literally leaning on her man, looking like a doll

“For those close to Heather Locklear, the news was not unexpected: …’Everybody knew she was in trouble. …She’s so insecure, she’s obsessed with her looks. …she seemed to be spiraling out of control’ since splitting from Jack Wagner [fall 2011], who had just proposed in August. ‘She was desperate to hold onto him.’ During their relationship, Wagner  tried to keep a handle on her issues… …’Once she started dating Jack, he didn’t want people around her that contributed to [her drinking], but he assumed everyone around her was like that.’ Over time ‘she seemed disconnected, she ended up with not many people to lean on.’ “

Katy with newly blue hair

Power of three, eh?

More twinning!

Conditioning ad

Bruno Mars says nothing. He answers questions, but it's all fluff. I'm more interested in how he's surrounded by yellow ads.

An evening of public conditioning, with Cloontang. Lots of black and white surrounding her as Stacy Kiebler is initiated from minor celebrity to A-list material as George's arm candy.

A red dress to symbolize rebirth?

NObody drinks pop like this!

Damn near every pair of eyes in these magazines are the same: soulless, lifeless, lost, dolls, or dark, witchy, and corrupt

The young girl in fronts frozen smile and blank eyes sadden me

Am I the only one reminded of Madonna's Evita phase with this photo?

“…After the plane crash that killed the couple on July 16, 1999, [JFK Jr’s assistant, Rosemary] Terenzio felt as if she might never heal. ‘It  took me years to feel that the best part of my life wasn’t behind me,’ she tells PEOPLE’s Liz McNeil. ‘I had to find my identity again.’ Now 44 and ready to tell her story, and theirs, in Fairy Tale Interrupted, excerpted here, she recall’s John and Carolyn’s…relationship….revealing for the first time that Carolyn almost didn’t  board the plane for that fateful flight…’John [F. Kennedy Jr] was more than a mannequin of good looks and privilege; Carolyn [Bessette] was not this uptight, cold and guarded person.’ …Carolyn quickly became a fairy god-mother and confidante to RoseMarie, dispensing advice on men and taking her shopping. ‘Nothing feels better than new clothes,’ she’d say. ‘That and vodka are your new best friends.’

Carolyn and I both lived in John’s unique world. I was often the only person who could relate ’I know this is kind of sad, but there’s no one else I can talk to,’ she said one night, having fled to my studio after an argument with John. John’s insensitivity was the biggest catalyst of their arguments. Carolyn would decline invitations because John said he was coming home for dinner. So she would wait while he worked late and went to the gym, then waltz into the apartment way past dinnertime. Carolyn was not only angry, but also worried about him. Another classic scenario was when he would spring information on her, such as ‘I’m bringing home a friend for dinner…right now.’ It wasn’t mean-spiritedness. He was simply as disorganized and clueless as a kid. …Whenever [Carolyn] went out – to get coffee, walk the dog, or meet a friend – [the paparazzi] were there, pushing in close and shouting things like ‘whore’ and ‘bitch.’ If they could break her perfect exterior, it would be an instant story: “Carolyn on Verge of Nervous Breakdown’ or  ‘Problems at Home.’ Carolyn retreated into herself. Unfortunately John didn’t understand.

By the summer of ’99, the marriage was under intense strain. Carolyn said she wasn’t going to attend the July 17 wedding of John’s cousin Rory. ‘She’s determined to stay home,’ John told RoseMarie. ‘I’m not going to fight with her about it.’ RoseMarie tried to change her mind. ‘Are you fucking kidding me?’ I said ‘What are you doing?’  ‘I’m not a priority,’ she said ‘It’s always something else. [John’s magazine] George.  Somebody getting fired. A trip to meet advertisers.’  ‘I know. But now is not the time to take a stand. His whole family’s going to be at this wedding.’  ‘I just want some normal married time,’ she said. ‘I’m exhausted.’  ‘Listen. You don’t want to put yourself in a position of being judged,’ I said ‘You get enough of that.’  ‘I don’t have anything to wear.’  ‘Go get a dress, and I’ll get you a car to the airport.’ …John was flying his plane to Massachusetts and dropping Carolyn’s sister Lauren off on Martha’s Vineyard before continuing on with Carolyn to Hyannis. Shortly before 10pm, John’s plane crashed off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, killing all three passengers.   …I thought about my last conversation with Carolyn and how I’d told her to get on the plane. Oh God. Heartbroken, RoseMarie helped John’s sister Caroline plan the funeral. We bonded over how much John would have hated the hoopla over his death. ‘Don’t you feel like he’s going to get angry at us for letting this whole thing get so out of control?’ Caroline said in a sentiment shockingly close to my own.

 …John’s death was all I thought about for the first few years. Life with John and Carolyn was wonderful but all-consuming. They were the center of my life, and once they were gone, I had to fill that place myself. I often wonder what John would have thought of this or that new event or headline. Standing in front of a mirror, I sometimes ask myself, ‘Would Carolyn be caught dead in this?’…”

The Johnny Depp article is nothing really of interest, until the last couple paragraphs. “On the set of the fourth Pirates in Hawaii in 2010, he was often spotted drinking wine at local bars like Honolulu nightspot Apartment3: ‘He would chat with girls and was very friendly and flirty,’ says a source. After Paradis and the kids arrived later that summer, Depp was seen spending low-key time with his family at his rental home. 

On the Puerto Rico set of The Rum Diary in 2009, ‘the girls loved him,’ says actor Carlos Alberto Lopez. Partying at the local Parrot Club to celebrate his 46^th birthday one evening, ‘he was just having fun,’ says owner Emilio Figueroa. ‘He was drinking red wine, mojitos, and taking photos with girls, and many guys. He didn’t say no to anyone.’ …’They are both very attached to their children and could work things out,’ says a source who knows them well. “But they have both changed-a lot.’”

Alright so Paula Deen’s coming out with that she’s developed type 2 diabetes…I feel this was formulated all along. Get her fans hooked on insanely unhealthy food  (a burger topped with a fried egg and bacon with two Krispy Kreme donuts as buns?? Are you kidding me?!), many would develop the diabetes but Paula would have it too (oh, of course! Otherwise fans would turn on her!) but it’s all good cuz she’s hawking this Victoza diabetes drug…and her sons are cashing in, too, by offering healthier versions of their moms dishes. It’s too convenient! BTW: She has the eyes of a dead doll on the magazine cover.

Black and white cat

Gary Oldman is hailed as a British chameleon. On his character George Smiley in Tinker Tailors: “He’s like an owl, with eyes and ears that pick up everything.” He says acting comes in handy with his younger sons Gulliver, 14, and Charlie, 12. “When I really mean business, I use what I call my Henry V voice- the one that reaches the gods of the Old Vic. It’s very effective.”

Again with the yellow!

Kate Hudson admits Somewhere Over the Rainbow and You’ve Got a Friend are her household lullabies.

The first black fighter pilots don’t seem to get as much credit as they should have. It lists their names, position they held, age, and little else. In front of the flag, top row from left: Theobald Wilson, 89, parachute rigger; Wilfred Dufour, 93, technical support; Rev.Milton Holmes, 85, trainer;  Roscoe C Brown Jr, 89, pilot; Otis Foreman, 84, photographer; Eugene Richardson, 85, pilot; Charles McGee, 92, pilot; Floyd Carter, 88, pilot; Charles Lewis, 90, communications. Bottom row: Nancy Colon, 91, nurse; Dabney Montgomery, 88, supply staff; Shade Lee, 90, communications chief; Arthurine Carter, 86, aircraft repair; Roscoe Draper, 92, flight instructor; Henry L. Moore, 90, maintenance; Alton Burton, 88, bombardier; Samuel Henderson, 90, mechanic; Joseph Spooner, 91, armament. “1. First Black Pilots: ‘White pilots trained at different bases.’ Says Roscoe Brown (above, right, in 1945 with fellow airman working on plane, and in group picture, top row, fourth from left). ‘We were trying to be outstanding pilots, and we were dealing with segregation and racism. 2.Trailblazer: Shade Lee (in 1994, and in group picture bottom row, third from left) who helped write rules for integrating the military, remains bitter about his experiences with racism in the military. ‘I did,’ he said, ‘what I had to do. We all did.’ 3. Dangerous Skies: On their famous Berlin mission in March 1945, Brown (on left with two fellow airmen) shot down a Nazi aircraft. ‘When I landed in Italy,’ says Brown, ‘there wasn’t any gas. Another five minutes in the air-I wouldn’t have made it.’”

Sam Worthington One Last Thing…there really isn’t anything noteworthy about it, except that he comes across as a totally regular dude. But he has a reptilian stare. “Last thing I bought for my home: A George Foreman grill. I’m far from a master chef, so I think this thing is great. I cook some steaks and chili eggs, but the chili is squeezed out of a tube. Last time I was recognized: It was Halloween at the Universal CityWalk. This guy walked past and just started laughing at me. He asked if I was in costume as ‘that guy from Avatar.’ I said no. I don’t think he believed me. Last thing I stole: A magazine out of the back of an airplane seat. I like that one where you can buy all the weird stuff. I always want to buy something, but I’m too scared to get the ceramic Bigfoot. Last time I cursed: Five seconds ago. I have a dirty gutter mouth and I have to try and stop it! Last thing I returned: Solar powered lamps. They took forever and were just totally useless, so I took them back to Costco and got a voucher.” Since when does chili come in a tube?

Reading Between the Lines: Star January 23 2012

Star Shots Moments of the Week:  Making a Splash “Even the busiest man in Hollywood needs a break! After ringing in 2012 on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, Ryan Seacrest whisked lady love Julianne Hough off on a sun-filled getaway to St.Barts. When they weren’t lounging aboard their luxurious yacht, the pair enjoyed romantic walks on the beach, Jet Ski rides and lots of time splashing in the surf. Julianne - who will next be seen in the movie-musical adaptation of Rock of Ages – channeled her inner child as she dove into the crystal-clear waters. Ryan, meantime, has been hitting the headlines as many speculate over whether  the American Idol  host will renew his contract. Because of rumors that he may leave to take a gig on the Today  show , Ryan recently said he has “a deal with NBC Universal…in negotiations,” but kept mum about the details. Seacrest, out?  Stay tuned.”

[Julianne looks nothing like she used to. It appears she’s had some unnecessary work done, as I feel she was much prettier a couple years ago, imo]

“Friends of Owen Wilson say the funnyman’s recent boozy binge is no laughing matter. The Wedding Crashers star – who split from girlfriend and baby mama Jade Duell just six months ago – was spotted partying up a storm over the holidays in St.Barts. ‘Owen’s depressed over the breakup, and…he drank his way through the holidays,’ a pal tells Star. ‘That lifesyile is a slippery slope for him. It’s difficult for him to keep it at a few drinks.’ Many worry that he may spiral into a dangerous mental state – as he did in 2007 when he attempted suicide by overdosing on pills and slitting his wrists. ‘He’s partying to numb his emotional pain,’ the source explains. ‘Owen said he feels like a failure for not keeping the family unit with Jade and [1-year-old son] Robert.’

“Following her split from hubby Russell Brand, Katy Perry’s parents are praying for her. ‘God, we lift up our family and let you forgive them,’ they told Ohio churchgoers on Jan.5. ‘Let us pray for our families to go to Heaven to be saved.’”

“Ryan Cabrera’s hard-partying ways have landed him in the hospital. ‘His drug and alcohol abuse got so bad that he had to have eight inches of his colon removed,’ a pal tells Star of the ‘On the Way Down’ singer’s Dec.28 surgery. And now friends fear for his life. ‘We’re worried he’ll overdose,’ says the pal. Ryan’s problems are nothing new. ‘It’s been going on for years,’ the friend reveals. Back in 2007, Ryan, now 29, was spotted ‘partying and looking like a total mess,’ an eyewitness says. ‘I even spotted him sniffing a white powdery substance off the sink in the men’s room.’”

“With so many women vying for Ben Flajnik’s attention on The Bachelor, the gals know they have to be quick-witted and fast on their feet. That shouldn’t be a problem for contestant Casey Shteamer, if her  July 2004 encounter with rocker Gavin DeGraw and his band is any indication. Kansas native Casey was nearly 19 when she and two gal pals were invited onto Gavin’s tourbus at 2am after a concert. ‘We all talked with him, and his bandmates were there,’ Casey wrote in her public diary on xanga.com. ‘Then [one of Casey’s friends] and Gavin went in the back together…I was left in this freezing cold bus at 3:30 in the morning, stuck talking to, like, 30-year-old men that were trying to hit on me.’ So Casey bolted, grabbing her pals keys, and headed out to their car to sleep. However: ‘some creepy guy followed me outside, and I started walking really fast,’ she wrote. ‘He was like “Why r u running away from me?” I just smiled and went faster.’ She woke up at 6am – just in time to see the bus pull away with her two friends still on it! Casey later picked them up after ‘they were dropped off in the middle of the highway.’ She added: ‘Now I get to go to work on an hour and a half of sleep. Fun.’"

“After two devastating failed marriages, Halle Berry vowed, ‘I am not going to do it again,’ during an early 2011 interview. But now, sources tell Star, the single mom can’t wait to trade ‘I do’s – and become a parent again – with French hunk Olivier Martinez, who secretly popped the question six months ago! ‘Halle is very serious about this marriage,’ says an insider. ‘She’s ready.’ Adds another source: ‘Olivier has become her rock.’  Still, Halle was warned against falling for Olivier, 46 – he’s infamous for loving and leaving the likes of Mira Sorvino and Kylie Minogue – when they filmed the thriller Dark Tide in the summer of 2010. ‘His friends are shocked that he is getting married,’ the insider says of Olivier, who has never even been engaged. ‘But he’s changed his ways.’ It’s particularly important to Halle that he’s devoted himself to Nahla, 3, her daughter with ex Gabriel Aubry. ‘Halle feels Olivier has made a connection and a commitment to her and her daughter,’ says the source. And the couple hope to give Nahla a sibling. ‘Halle would love to have more kids, but  she knows it might be difficult because of her age and the fact that she’s diabetic,’ says the insider. ‘If they can’t conceive, they’d definitely consider adoption.’ But first,  the wedding, which will likely be a large, joyous affair held in California’s wine country early this summer, according to insiders. ‘Deciding to marry again is huge for Halle,’ says the source. ‘But friends have never seen her this happy and fulfilled.” NOTICE THE EMERALD RING ON HER FINGER? That's supposedly their engagement ring. They claim it's her favorite gem.

An ad for a new show, Scorned, supposedly based off "true stories of love turned lethal"

“….Vanessa [Hudgens] was gushing about how in love [she and boyfriend Austin Butler] are. She said she knows it’s kind of early, but that Austin’s going to move in within the next few weeks…She bought this huge place when she was still with Zac Efron and said it’s felt really empty since they split.”

“Zac had been trying to win back Vanessa, but she’s moved on. At first [Zac Efron and Rumer Willis] socialize[d] in groups, then Rumer started going over to Zac’s L.A house. She’d decorate and make the place really home – then she began spending the night, and they’re acting like a couple. Zac told Rumer he’s developing strong feelings for her.”

“...Johnny, whos played guitar in rock bands since his teens, was absent when Vanessa took the kids out on Jan.2 to buy [son] Jack a guitar of his own. ’They’ve had a strange relationship, often spending weeks apart,’ an insider tells Star. ‘Now I think Johnny’s absences are more serious. His friends think he’s going through some sort of mini midlife crisis.’…As they reach a breaking point, friends worry that –who’s admitted to going through ‘so many years where I medicated myself’ – could be falling back on self-destructive bad habits. ‘He’s been drinking more over his unhappiness with his and Vanessa’s situation,’ says the source…’His behavior is starting to raise some red flags.’

“…[Jay-Z] and Beyonce, 30, weren’t taking any chances when baby Blue entered the world. The singer checked into Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City on Jan.6 using the name of real-life pal Ingrid Jackson. After the natural birth, in an ultraprivate sixth-floor suite, Beyonce and Blue – who debuted at 7lbs – were whisked off to the facilities fourth floor. The new parents reportedly spent $1.3 million renting the entire space and redecorating it… …’It was like she was gaining and losing the bump throughout the pregnancy. No wonder people were whispering that it was all a conspiracy.’”

“…The terms of Jennelle [Evans]’s ongoing probation prohibit her from ‘knowingly associating with any person or previously convicted users, possessors, or sellers of any illegal drugs,’ which Gary [Head] is. Jennelle was already arrested back in August for hanging with her ex-boyfriend Kiefer Delp, also a known drug user, and jail could be a very real possibility this time too…”

“…’She hated having to whip out her credit card every time they go to dinner. And it bummed her out that he had to borrow money from het to buy Christmas presents – including hers. So Jen figured it’s easier to give Casper a weekly stipend, and she thought $10k was a nice round number.’ … It was recently revealed that Casper – who was sentenced on Jan.3 to a years probation and a $500 fine for speeding – go-go dances for a mere $250 a night at L.A club Boulevard3. Says the source ‘Casper’s just a young dude who spends what little money he has on clothes and flashy jewelry.’  Now that he’s in the lap of money and dating a Hollywood A-lister, Casper is learning how to live like a star. ‘It’s a whole new world for him,’…”

“Robert never believed that Khloe was his biological daughter because Kris cheated on him during the time Khloe, 27, was conceived… …he and Kris were not even sleeping together. …As Khloe herself grew older, she herself questioned whether Robert was her dad. She even turned the situation into a storyline for the family’s TV show, submitting to DNA testing on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. But interestingly, she compared her DNA only to her mother’s, not Robert’s or her siblings’-which could have proven conclusively that Robert was not her biological father.”

“…’Khloe was babysitting…she got into her mother’s room, and it was a totally separate closet. And she went in there and found a whole wardrobe. Khloe called her dad and she was very upset, crying and screaming about it. And Robert said, “Well, what are you doing in his closet, for God’s sake? Get out of there…Maybe it’s your mother’s. Maybe it’s costumes or something.”  She goes “No, I know what size bra my mother wears. My mother doesn’t wear a size 13 shoe.” And on and on about high heels and nylons. I kept this quiet,’”

“…Khloe totaled a Mercedes six months after Robert gave it to her as a gift…Khloe ‘wanted a new car right away. He said, “No, I have this SUV,” and she said she didn’t want it. She called him cheap, called him names…He tried to give her his new Cherokee, and she said no Kardashian girl should ever drive a Cherokee. She wanted a Range Rover. She didn’t get it. …Robert was diagnosed with stage four cancer of the esophagus ‘Kim called him at his office and told him he was cheap because he wouldn’t buy Khloe a car, I mean, he was dying.’ “

“…’Lindsay feels strongly that she wants to distance herself from the family drama, and the only way to do that is to dump her mom as her manager…It’s typical of Lindsay to blame everyone else for her problems, but in this case she may have a point. She thought movie offers would come flooding in [after her Playboy feature], but nothing has happened. Lindsay has mounting debts, and she’s freaking out. She needs to do something drastic. She truly wants to be a respected actress, and she’s starting to realize that in order for her dreams to come true, she’s going to have to have someone else handle her career.’”

“Skeletal Ali Lohan is a shadow of her former self. But her modeling bosses are telling her to lose even more weight! And big sis Lindsay is ‘horrified.’ Lindsay confessed her worries to Janice Dickinson at L.A’s Chateau Marmont on Dec.31, and Janice is sharing the details of their serious talk with Star exclusively. ‘Lindsay was complaining that her sister is being sent off to Asia by her modeling agent,’ Janice tells Star. ‘She asked my opinion and I said, “If they can’t get Ali some work in this country, what good are they as an American agent!” Even worse, Lindsay then confided, the agent told Ali, 18, she needs to drop even more pounds! ‘Lindsay is horrified,’ Janice says. ‘She doesn’t want Ali going away, but worse still, she doesn’t  want  her  to lose more weight.’ Now the world’s first supermodel – who recently launched the website Janice TV – is lashing out at Next Model Management for exploiting not only Ali but scores of other runway stars. ‘Agents should have their jaws wired together,’ Janice snaps. ‘They pick these young girls and tell them to lose more weight and have plastic surgery.’ And while Ali’s agent insists she’s perfectly healthy, a picture really is worth a thousand words.”

I couldn't zoom in clearly on his devil horns

Why is THIS the promo pic for a comedy series? I don't give a shit about women cooing over a baby. 

I find it interesting the astrologists last name is Angel

The next two editions of Reading Between the Lines will feature January 30's People Magazine and February 6th's In Touch (headlines from In Touch about Kim Kardashian "Destroyed by Mom: Pushed by her mom to have sex at 14, and brainwashed by her obsession with money" plus "How Kris Jenner's secret demons turned Kim into a monster" Ooooh!!! In-ter-esting!

Also! Yes, I know it looks kinda crappy taking pics from magazines with my digital camera. Whatever! I don't have a scanner, and magazines run fitting imagery with their stories. If you don't like it, don't read my page.
