Michaele Salahi Reveals She Has Multiple Sclerosis

Real Housewives of D.C. White House crasher (and Movieline interview subject ) Michaele Salahi appeared on Fox & Friends this morning and announced she’s been battling multiple sclerosis for 17 years. Alongside her husband Tareq, Salahi explained why she only opened up about the illness now: “No one wants to be seen as sickly… And I didn’t want to be pitied.” I imagine this quote will fend off worldwide Salahi pity for, oh, ten minutes.

One Last Toronto Roundup: Herzog in 3-D, Squabbling Comics and More

The last day of a festival stay is always a time of reckoning. You may have seen a lot. But how much did you miss? Running alongside the slate of pictures you actually caught is another festival, a phantom festival, consisting of all the movies you might have seen, things you tried to get to and just couldn’t manage, or things recommended by other people after you’d missed all the possible screenings.

Tim Gunn Outs Taylor Momsen As ‘Pathetic’ Diva

Project Runway guru ( and friend to Movieline ) Tim Gunn is putting the “gossip” back in Gossip Girl . After filming a guest spot for the CW series recently, Gunn complained about 17-year-old Taylor Momsen, whom he shared a scene with. “What a diva!” he told E! News . “She was pathetic, she couldn’t remember her lines, and she didn’t even have that many. I thought to myself ‘why are we all being held hostage by this brat?” It gets better. As Momsen wasted precious crew time on her cell phone, Gunn rehearsed a hypothetical scolding. “I’d say, ‘You know young lady, there are hundreds of thousands of girls who are just as attractive and even smarter than you. Why are you acting like this show is a huge burden on you?'” [ E! ]
