<![CDATA[Christian Bale On His Rant: "It Was Unacceptable"]]>

  • Christian Bale looks dirty and hot on the cover of the new EW! Inside, he talks about that infamous rant that was so popular it got turned into a dance remix:

''I don't care to go into details because, you know what, I don't believe in making excuses,'' he says. ''It doesn't matter. It was unacceptable. I went too far. And I learned from it.'' He continues: "I was surprised at myself hearing it back. These things happen, and you don't realize how long you're going in the heat of the moment. I would just say: inexcusable, my fault, yes, I did it, no excuses." As for apologizing on the radio, he did so because: "I was being told how it had gone like wildfire, and I was worried that it could completely overwhelm the movie itself. There's so much hard work that's gone into this. We had 77 days of smooth running and four minutes of me just going way too far - and that shouldn't characterize the making of the movie. My concern was that people would unfairly judge the movie based on my bad behavior." More at the link! [EW]

See if you can convince him to give you a job.' The exchange lasted about eight minutes, and was edited down to a one minute scene in the final version of the film.

I mean, I read interviews last week, for that matter, where she's quoted making fun of the show and trashing it and saying she would never be a part of it. So to go from trashing a show, to go on and replace the girl you fucked over in high school…I don't see it going anywhere pretty." And who are you again? [E!]

  • "I really believe on a daily basis that there's a line of communication between me and my dogs which we haven't defined yet. I really talk to them. And I also talk to my guinea pig, Mr James, every single morning. I sit and watch him on that wheel every day, trying to answer the question that is: 'Do they do it for exercise? Or do they think they're going to reach a destination?' Because that's a terrible metaphor for all of us. Because that's all life is perhaps? Nobody is gonna tell you the truth like I do." — Dustin Hoffman. [Independent]
  • "I think Dan Brown is a terribly bad writer, but he has cliffhangers after every chapter which makes you continue reading. It's like eating peanuts at a bar. You don't like them, but you keep on eating them anyway." — Stellan Skarsgard, who only took a park in Angels & Demons because the script was different from the book. [Newser via AP]
  • "To me, 10 o'clock is like the new 11:30. I hear more and more people, even young people, say 'I can't stay up past 11. I car pool, I gotta get up at 6.'" — Jay Leno. [CNN]

<![CDATA[Glad Rags, Sad Rags, & Married, With Children At TV Land Awards]]> The 7th Annual TV Land Awards in L.A., as one might expect, brought out the blasts from the past. And some were way more welcome that others...



The Good:
Vivica A. Fox brings just enough 80's-style power glitz to the R.C.!


Holland Taylor is among my favorite "WASP mom" character actors (along, of course, with Jessica Walter and Susan Sullivan) and this demure LBD is classic elegance.


I like Alex Kingston's beachy cerulean dress, and really like her au naturel curly 'do.


Julia Louis-Dreyfus channels Mad Men fab.


Reba also knows the benefits of mid-century glam.


Linda Cardellini's fun belt makes the dress.


Katey Sagal is chic, classic, and totally un-Bundy.


The Bad:
Loretta Swit takes the attitude if one sparkle is good, two is better!


When it comes to Patricia Richardson: Pros: suits are elegant; this one is well-fitted. Cons: Buttons. Sleeves. I fear the shades kinda make the decision.


The matching bows make Stacey Anderson's ensemble a bit frilly...


What Say You?
Red carpet fixture Kat Kramer is always kind of endearingly dowdy, but is this wacky-good, or wacky-crazy?


Lisa Hartman Black: space oddity or space odyssey?


Is Donna Mills Dynasty fab, or time warp fail?

<![CDATA[Newlyweds Jay-Z & Beyoncé: Already Brawling]]>

  • Lovers' spat! At a Barack Obama party, the DJ started playing "Crazy In Love" and Jay-Z grabbed the mic and said, "Sorry Bey but fuck that — let's play something else." B was pissed! Later the couple kissed and made up, though. [Mirror]
  • This should not come as a surprise and hardly qualifies as news, but Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt of The Hills want their own show. They've been in NYC pitching it to execs; it would be about them (gag) planning their wedding. Listen, if we all concentrate, maybe we can prevent this from happening: Every time Spencer gets what he wants, an angel loses its wings. [Page Six]
  • Amy Winehouse has taken up painting watercolors. I want to hang one in my apartment so badly. [Mirror]
  • Rob Lowe's former castmembers have got his back! West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin says Rob is a "gentleman who cares first and most for his family."

  • Lindsay's dad Michael is not happy that his daughter's rep says she won't be doing missionary work in India. "I think we can all see that her present so-called friends and management have her focused on the wrong projects and things. If Lindsay would just listen to me and follow my guidance, like she did when her life was on the right path, and before the people you see now that are in her life, I guarantee that her life would straighten out and she'd be back to being the gifted actress everyone knew and loved." [Gatecrasher]
  • This may shock you, but 30 Rock's Judah Friedlander, known for wearing trucker hats with wacky sayings on them, makes the hats himself. "They are intricate, I sew things on too," he says. "I have over 100 of them and come up with the sayings myself. Fans e-mail me suggestions all the time. So far, I've used one." [Page Six]
  • Posh and Becks are having a joint birthday party this weekend and hired a company to get swag from high-end brands for the gift bags. The guest list is fairly exclusive: Only 25 people were invited. Did your invitation get lost in the mail? [Page Six]
  • Kate Hudson's birthday is Saturday and some lady got her a "weird" cake in the shape of a "woman/snake/lizard kneeling," with Kate's head on it. Kate did not eat it and it was found in the garbage later, LOL. [Gatecrasher]

  • Blind item! "Which actress on a canceled show was "doing her body weight" in cocaine at a beachy magazine shoot over the weekend?" [Gatecrasher]
  • Blind item! "Which recently rehabbed rocker got clean through a week-long induced coma? He couldn't bear to sweat out the booze on his own." [Rush & Molloy]
  • A court-appointed lawyer, a co-conservator and two other attorneys in the Britney Spears conservator case all have bills — and the commissioner says Brit must pay. Ouch. [TMZ]

  • Foxy Brown gets out of prison today! The Department of Corrections says fan or press gatherings will not be allowed, so cancel your trip to Rikers Island. [TMZ]
  • This is a headline from People.com: "Jessica Alba in Frantic Nesting Mode." Try to care. [People]
  • Cute cutie Bradley Cooper (he was in Wedding Crashers, Alias and the short-lived show Kitchen Confidential) has a new love: Actress Rhona Mitra, who's been on Nip/Tuck and Boston Legal. Foxy couple. [E!]
  • Baywatch better stay in reruns forever: David Hasslehoff has agreed to pay $25,000 a month to support his ex-wife and children. [AP]
  • Here's a great headline: "Doherty's Pals Flog His Gear." Apparently Pete's friends have been selling some of his stuff for cash — like the "horrible" paintings he did using his own blood — while he's in jail. [The Sun]
  • Meanwhile, Pete is in an isolated area of the prison because fellow inmates were planning an attack on him. [Mirror]
  • Madonna is in negotiations to play two gigs in Dubai for a whopping £12.5 million. If each show is 90 minutes it comes out to something like $167,000 a minute, for the love of Christmas. [The Sun]
  • Hahaha, Gwyneth has stopped working out with Madge because her "grueling" two-and-half-hour workouts are too much for Ms. Paltrow. Madonna is so fucking hardcore. [Mirror]
  • Ashanti's new video portrays her wielding a knife and getting revenge on a cheating ex, but she swears it's not about boyfriend Nelly, whom she does not even admit is her boyfriend but her really really good friend. [People]
  • RIP, Danny Federici from the E Street band. [USA Today]
  • Dita Von Teese is suing a dude who built her a 10-foot high swan with a fountainhead in the beak for her act. The fountain malfunctioned during the debut of her show in Toronto and that will just not do. [TMZ]
  • "I never go suntanning. My worst fear is looking down and seeing brown, wrinkly cleavage. It'll get white and wrinkly, but no need to rush it." —Dita Von Teese. [Rush & Molloy]
