well, look what the cat drug in...

How in the hell do you screw up a red carpet appearance?  You have people to dress you, to do your make up and hair.  When this is not your first time to the rodeo, I ask...HOW DO YOU SCREW IT UP??


She looked like she wanted to be anywhere but where she was.  Even Guiliana Rancic from E! said, "There is a side door right over on Hollywood Blvd that says exit, ya know, and you can get in that way and just call someone and say, 'can you open the door for me'. You do not have to walk the carpet.  Not every star has to walk the carpet." 

Oh if only she had taken your advice Guiliana.  


Further more, what in the hell happened in the span of three year?  


While walking the red carpet, Kristen did not do any interviews.  None.  However, she did have time to interrupt second time nominated Best Actress Jennifer Lawrence while she was being interviewed.  Coincidence?   I think not.  


The only other person she came close to talking to was Josh Horowitz from MTV.

MTV News correspondent Josh Horowitz reported seeing the Snow White and the Huntsman actress and asking why she needed crutches. "Just exchanged a quick hello with Kristen Stewart. I asked her what happened to her and she screamed 'I'm an idiot!'" Horowitz tweeted.  Source

 She never stopped to talk to him, he never asked her more than that.  I can only imagine how sad he must have felt seeing as he seems to feel they are BFF's and all.

Funny how her "injury" wasn't mentioned during the Oscar rehearsals.  Her outfit sure was though

You can clearly see the right foot is bandaged and she does appear to be walking with a limp.  Is it severe enough to need crutches.  Considering she was wearing two different shoes on the red carpet, something fishy sure was up. You can clearly see in the bag, attached to her crutches, two different shoes.  One peep toe heel and one silver flat.  Now why the hell not just wear the flats if you have a foot injury?




And if your injury is so "severe" why the hell not just stay home?  Oh wait.  There's a dvd that goes on sale the following weekend.  While she was not nominated for anything, "Snow White and the Huntsman" was, Best Costume and Visual Effects.  They lost in both categories.



Bottom line is that this appeared to be a stunt to get her noticed on the red carpet and it worked.  Forget the terrible hair, bags under her eyes, thrown together dress from 2009.  Yes, people had plenty to say about that, but it seemed to be her injury that got the most attention.

 Those that can't be nominated, fake their way through it.

Two days later and we see this.  No bandaged foot, no crutches, putting weight on the "severely injured" foot even. It must be a dvd miracle.




The Art of the Pin Up Girl

Gil Elvgren, born Gillette Elvgren, was an American painter of pin-up girls, advertising and illustration. Elvgren was one of the most important pin-up and glamour artists of the twentieth century. Wikipedia

Elvgren was a classical American illustrator. He was a master of portraying the all-American ideal feminine[citation needed], but he wasn't limited to the calendar pin-up industry. He was strongly influenced by the early "pretty girl" illustrators, such as Charles Dana Gibson, Andrew Loomis, and Howard Chandler Christy. Other influences included the Brandywine School founded by Howard Pyle.[4]
In 1937, Gil began painting calendar pin-ups for Louis F. Dow, one of America's leading publishing companies, during which time he created about 60 works. Around 1944, Gil was approached by Brown and Bigelow, a firm that still dominates the field in producing calendars and advertising specialties. He was associated with Brown and Bigelow from 1945 to 1972.[5]
Elvgren was a commercial success. Elvgren lived in various locations, and was active from the 1930s to 1970s. His clients ranged from Brown and Bigelow and Coca-Cola to General Electric and Sealy Mattress Company. In addition, during the 1940s and 1950s he illustrated stories for a host of magazines, such as The Saturday Evening Post and Good Housekeeping.[6]

This is how cool Tom Hanks is...

I was catching up on Tumblr one afternoon and this came across my dash. 

imagebam.com


This is an actual response from actor Tom Hanks on his Playtone Company stationary to Chris Hardwick, founder of TheNerdist, blog and podcast. You have to love the snark and tone that Hanks set up in this letter.  Needless to say, seducing him with the antique typewriter worked.  Hanks appeared on The Nerdist Podcast #267  Hanks talks with Harwick, as well as co-hosts of the show Matt Mira and Jonah Ray, about subjects from show business, space, his role and others in "Band of Brothers" as well as the now infamous 1934 Corona Silent typewriter.

It is what it is.




Ken Baker knows what's up and he's calling it what it is "A PUBLICITY STUNT"  This is E! News Chief  Corresponent and he's going against the tabloid grain, something his network promotes, and is saying what needs to be said.  Rob and Kristen "getting back together" is for publicity.   Nicely played Mr. Baker. Nicely played.  

Stewart getting caught with Rupert Sanders?  No, that was the real deal.  The timing of her affair, however, could not have been more perfect for Summit to play the "break up and get back together for the film"  game though. The fact that Summit is using this to promote their movie proves so many things, one of which is that they don't care about Stewart, or Pattinson for that matter, but Stewart mostly.   When the pics of her and Sanders first showed up, Summit or her team could have stopped them, at least for a little while, but neither one of them did. And now we know why.

Once can see things clearly w a 600 mil lens...

On 18 September, The Today Show did a demonstration to show just how close one can get from great distances using powerful telephoto lenses.  

They interviewed a former paparazzi who used a 600mil lens with a doubler and a good camera. He was situated in Brooklyn Heights and his "target" was located at the Sea Port in Manhattan, across the East River. Over 6 miles away!  

While some of the super close up shots are not very recognizable, you get the idea.  With a good strong lens and a good camera, you can catch just about anyone doing anything. 

Photography in the age of paparazzi

And here is a demonstration of just how close one can get from a great distance

Some freedom for Liberty.


Liberty Ross was out for her birthday and had this to say about her cheating husband Rupert Sanders and his affair with Kristen Stewart.

"The Model and actress partied at a gay nightclub, Eleven, with her longtime friend Simon Robinson and his partner. "If it weren't for Simon," she told RumorFix, "I wold not be out. I'm a very private girl."
Asked about the affair that made her a headline name, Liberty didn't play coy. "Nobody knew who I was before he cheated and I liked it better that way.  I'm here at Eleven and you recognize me.  I bet had this scandal not have taken place, you would have walked right passed me," she explained.
"It's not good being hurt and devastated like me...but guess what, you certainly learn from it.  I'm not made at Rupert at all, no reason to hold grudges.  I'm not focused on that.  What I am focused on are my children and moving my life forward.  My children come first and are most important in my life.  They've always been and always will be." 

Well good for Liberty!

It says a lot that she was out on her b'day without Sanders as well as being in London.  While I don't think for one minute that what happened between her husband and Stewart was a "momentary indiscretion", I"m more likely to believe this affair went on for close to a year, however, this might not have been Rupert's first "momentary indiscretion".  Perhaps Liberty has been through this before and this was just the straw that broke the camels back.  In all honesty, I can't see a man married this long, two children and the first time he steps out on his wife is with K?  No.  I, just.  No.

As for her walking NYFW, what are the odds that they just happened to throw her in the show at the last minute?  These events are scheduled far in advance.  Who knows how many other Fashion Weeks she's walked and no one realized it until now.  Like she said, "I bet had this scandal not have taken place, you would have walked right passed me".  Just because she's become a household name from an affair, doesn't mean she wasn't known in some circles before this.

Yes, the sheep will most likely tear her apart for these comments.  Calling her a fame whore, making her out to be the villain in all of this.  This is what they do.  They deflect.  None of this could possibly be the special snow flakes fault.  It's all Liberty's or Rupert's or even Rob's.  Anyone but their Queen.  

If Liberty is going to be a single mom, she's going to need an income.  And while sure, it looks like now she is everywhere, things like jobs being set up weeks/months in advance elude the simple sheep.  They know how many months in advance magazine shoots are set up.  Stewart has been in enough, they should.  But once again the same rules don't apply.  So while Stewart does a mag and it takes months to come out.  Liberty does one and shes a fame whore exploiting a bad situation.  Morons

I'll just sit back and wait until she is seen with Rupert again.  It's going to happen.  


[quote What's especially telling is that the paps are after these two big time right now and he is still able to move around and go places without anyone knowing what he is up to.[/quote]



There is no doubt in any of our minds that it's her team that sets the paps up.  Anytime she is not involved, Rob has been able to get around unseen.  He was just in London for who knows how long and was only seen in Customs at LAX by a fan.  If she hadn't taken that one picture, he'd have made it back into the States undetected.  How many other times has this happened?  A few, I'm sure.

We've heard before that the paps and HW insiders know what is really going on between these two and are unimpressed.  Yet the paps know that pics of them fetch a fair price, especially now.  So the lack of pictures of them together, especially after this last week of "they got together to discuss things" just confirms even further that they didn't come anywhere close to being together.

I wouldn't be surprised if the paps are watching her every move to see if she goes out, where she is going and more importantly, who she is with.  A pic of her and Rob would be worth some serious money, especially with all the "getting back together" headlines that SHE set in motion.  However, a pic of her in Rupert together would be worth so much more!!!

Rob has always been able to be unseen (hence her team calling the paps) and when he shows up somewhere, his team lets the outtings speak for themselves, whether its him out with friends, at a bar or an event.

Honestly, I expected more...


Campins Real Estate, specializing in the sale of "Luxury Sports and Entertainment Homes", has put an article on their blog stating that Robert Pattinson is selling his Los Feliz, California home.  I'm sure a post like this has resulted in more than a few hits for the blog, which in my best guess, is their intention all along.  However, I think it's sad when some feel that they have to stoop to this level for attention.

Let me dissect this. 

This is their heading:

Celebrity Real Estate: Robert Pattinson Los Feliz CA Home For Sale $6.3 Million

Now, if I didn't know better, I would think by reading this that they know for sure that the house is on the market.  It states that the house is "for sale" and lists a price. The price happens to be the last price it was sold at, but I digress.  Since this is coming from a real estate blog, I would also think that they had the listing on this home. 

This is the house in question.




 Now for the body of the post:
Twilight star Robert Pattinson posh Los Feliz, CA home for sale. He once shared this home with Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart. Pattinson bought the home for $6.3 million, previously owned by ER star Noah Wyle and sits on an acre and a half of land and has 150-person screening room and amazing gardens. The house comes with three big bedrooms and bathrooms, state-of-the-art security system, private amphi-theatre and extensive wine cellar.
Built in 1921, the 4,000 square-foot home is a lavish area in the Hills with neighbors like Gwen Stefani and Black Eye Peas Will.I.Am.

Not a whole lot to it really, but you know who's home it is, or possibly is, who they shared it with and other celebrity names of previous owner and neighbors.  The celebrity details in this post have been recycled for a month in regards to this house.  The post is effective as people, though not involved in real estate, have made comments.

If it was a legitimate real estate post for her site, as per the other luxury homes she has listed to sell, there would have been a dozen or so pictures showcasing the home to attract a potential buyer. Perhaps even a little blurb about the "luxury gourmet kitchen", "spacious master suite with glamorous en suite", "sprawling gardens that lead to a lagoon style pool".  Since Campins does not have the listing for the home, there is none of that information.


Now, since Campins does not have the listing, who does?  As one person commented, this house is not on the market.  And he would be correct.  How did he know?  His information is coming from a real estate website that specifically says, "Off Market" at the top of the page.



This entry is from the company's real estate blog where she discusses trends in the market as well as celebrity real estate transactions.  That's all well and good, however it seems like she is tying to capitalize on a celebrity cheating scandal between a young actress and a married director.  I find that kind of sad considering with her background, website Facebook page, etc., that she feels the need to go this direction in getting her name out there when she seems to be doing a fine job of it using social media. Hell, even this blog post is turning into a selling feature for her. 

That is if anyone actually reads it.
