Eva Mendes recently slammed Jennifer Lopez in a “Please Don’t Compare Me” speech. Since J. Lo is a total diva, I don’t blame Eva for not wanting to get lumped in the same category:
“I would like to think I will have a more serious career than J.Lo. We may both be of Latin origin but that’s where the comparisons stop. She manages her career like the head of a big corporation, whereas the only thing I care about is becoming the best actress possible.”
Rawr! *Claws Out* Eva’s heard this one time too many, hmmm?

Today’s a big day in Britney Spears’ world, y’all! Britney will launch her new website today, BritneySpears.com, and we can’t forget about the 20/20 “Womanizer” video premiere tonight. I’m a teensy bit excited to see it, mostly because everyone keeps saying how sexy it is.
Brit has another upcoming project in the works as well: a new documentary about her life. She’s currently filming the 90-minute doc entitled “For The Record,” and she recently opened up about her reasons for making it:
“So much has gone on over the last couple of years and there’s a lot that people don’t know about me that I want them to know [...] I wanted to make this film because I started to feel like I wasn’t being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in. This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I’ve been through and where I’m headed.”
This is actually going to be interesting, but I hope it’s not sugar-coated. Let’s face it, most of us have a good idea about what has been going on with Britney. She’s going to have to be brutally honest.
We’ll see if she can handle it come November 30th on MTV!
The “Poor Jennifer Aniston” mag covers are going to resurface now that Angelina Jolie has been talking about how awesome Brad Pitt is– again! Nope, Jennifer’s never going to escape scrutiny, boyfriend or not, with this Golden Couple out and about.
On Being a Mom in the Spotlight: “I’m just a mom and I’m very grounded by my family. I’m very happy, and I’m so lucky. The world can like me, hate me, fall apart around me, and at least, you know, I wake up with my little kids and I’m happy.”
On Flying To/From Europe and Brad’s Parenting: “Brad took care of things. He just said, ‘Go back to sleep, you have to work tomorrow,’ and then went to the living room with the kids. He’s an amazing father: totally devoted.”
On Twin Cuteness: “We’re exhausted a lot, because it’s twice as hard with two babies than with one,” she says. “But it’s twice as much fun, too. When you look at them, it’s like they were made for each other. They smile at each other, sniff each other, touch each other. It’s just beautiful. They’re totally sweet. They already have completely different personalities. Knox is more the quiet one, very relaxed, while Viv is a little more aggressive and loud.”
For someone who values her privacy, she sure fools me sometimes.
A new Twilight trailer has been released in the lead up to the much hyped film’s debut in cinemas November 21.
Twilight is an adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s 2005 best-selling novel of the same name. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke, the film stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson as Bella and Edward.
Angelina Jolie’s breastfeeding cover shot is causing a ruckus! A source confirmed to Life & Style that Angelina “really did pose for the cover story of W magazine while breast-feeding” earlier today, and the cover has already been released. Angelina posed for Brad Pitt at Chateau Miraval in the South of France in August.
Do you agree with the source’s claim that this is “really beautiful and tastefully done”? I probably wouldn’t have looked twice if I hadn’t run into a hot debate.
I’m more preoccupied with Angelina’s fresh ink. Are you supposed to breastfeed after that?
Just when we thought that Diddy had reached red-alert annoying, he’s taken it up a notch by calling us “boys and girls” in his new vlog about John McCain. It’s not half as bad as the original “that one” gaffe (see above), but it’s grating and a little ironic. Let’s look on the bright side– at least we weren’t subjected to heavy breathing this time!
I say that Diddy is dancing around the issue. If he’s going to subject us to personal vlogs, he might as well tell us how he really feels. The fact that he tried not to go apesh*t is appreciated, but if we’ve learned anything from recent political appearances, spluttering does not do the job.
“We will see you November 4th at the polls” sounds really threatening. Vote or die indeed!
Will Farrell’s Funny or Die has dragged Paris Hilton back for a follow up to their viral hit earlier this year which had Paris running for President after appearing in McCain ads. It’s not as brilliant as the last one, but it does have its moments.
Hmmm. . . Enquirer or TMZ? TMZ or Enquirer? The former, TMZ, broke the counter-news today that Jamie Lynn Spears is not pregnant, and they credit “an unimpeachable source.”
With the Enquirer already having broke Jamie Lynn’s first pregnancy to the world, I’m skeptical. This source might want to buy her some time. The damage has been done, regardless, and I’ll be scanning the headlines to check for developments.
TMZ adds that “Someone tell Lynne Spears and get her down from the ledge.” Don’t worry! If she hasn’t done it already, she won’t.
Lily Allen got her visa yesterday to come to the United States and finish her album– finally! Most of her problems seem to stem from her photog scuffle in 2007, but the Visa King has allowed Lily to come back to L.A. and finish recording.
The troublemaking songstress, who was spotted at the BMI Awards last night getting an award for “Smile,” said that “It means I can go and tour there and finish what I started, which is something I’ve wanted to do for a while.” So does that mean it’s not totally her label’s fault?
Lily was full of info on the red carpet, also telling us that she has changed the name of her album to “It’s Not Me, It’s You” from the previous “Stuck on the Naughty Step.” Good choice? I say yes!
The National Enquirer has busted forth with a report that Jamie Lynn Spears has gotten pregnant again. . . and “her pals are begging her to abort.” Jamie has her first child just three months ago, Maddie Briann, and according to the Enquirer, thought that breast-feeding Maddie would keep her from getting pregnant. They continued, saying:
“Jamie Lynn is about eight weeks pregnant, and she and her mom Lynne are hysterical. Neither of them knows what to do, but for now they’re trying to keep the news from getting out.”
Shoot. I hope, for her sake, that this “source” turns out to be a total liar. Otherwise, this is bad news for Jamie Lynn, who “cried her eyes out” when she got the news.
A major record label has struck a new social networking deal — with a teen-targeting twist. Universal Music Group (UMG) is partnering with teen-friendly site Kiwibox to create a new streaming service, the two companies will announce this morning.
The deal will make thousands of UMG artist videos available for free on Kiwibox.com. The media will be ad-supported, with artists getting a share of the revenue. (The specific percentages are not being released.) Current UMG artists include Jay-Z, The Killers, Snow Patrol, and Kanye West.
Kiwibox, purchased by Magnitude Information Systems in 2007, combines interactive social features with both professionally written and user-generated content, all in a magazine-style layout. The site saw a major makeover in August, which included the debut of an expanded internal video section. The new service — fittingly set to be titled “Kiwibox Music Videos” — will launch before the end of the year and will be integrated with the existing content.
Will the offering draw users over from existing streaming services such as Imeem and the recently launched MySpace Music? Probably not. But for its own devoted base of teen and pre-teen users, the option is sure to add a nice layer of functionality to an already robust site — not to mention the additional avenue of exposure it’ll provide for the artists always vying to reach that very demographic.
Kim told Ryan Seacrest on today’s KIIS-FM that she sent a text to Mark Ballas, her dancing partner, asking if they were going to go back on the show. No answers there! She said that Mark is in the dark about their DWTS future. When Kim contacted him on Monday, he responded by saying that “‘It’s just rumors. They come up with these crazy stories. I don’t know what’s going on!’”
Why don’t they just not eliminate someone tonight? I spent all my time wondering how Kim was “shy” when she was on the show. It doesn’t compute.
Britney’s “Womanizer” video preview is out, and we can see the whole thing on a 20/20 premiere this Friday. At first I was really happy for Brit, because she’s starting to look like she did way back before babies, but then I just felt bad that her “erotic” moves were going to be plastered all over 20/20 for the first showing. That doesn’t seem sexy enough for someone who’s going to be “making out with a city worker” while wearing black leather pants.
“Womanizer” sounds a teeny bit better to me than the first time I heard it. Anyone else agree?
