Don’t Get Daniel Craig Started on the Kardashians

“I think there’s a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel,” the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo lead opined in a recent interview when the subject of attention-craved stars came up. “You can’t buy your privacy back. Ooh, I want to be alone. F– you. We’ve been in your living room. We were at your birth. It is a career; I’m not being cynical. And why wouldn’t you? Look at the Kardashians, they’re worth millions… I don’t think they were that badly off to begin with, but now look at them. You see that and you think, ‘What, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f–ing idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions?’ I’m not judging it. Well, I am, obviously.” [ EW ]

Lady Gaga Pays Homage to My Fair Lady and Funny Girl in New VF Photo Shoot

Photoshoot homages are a dime a dozen at this point, and it’s hard to separate one starlet’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s tribute from any of the hundreds of others. That’s why Lady Gaga’s new cover shoot for Vanity Fair , in which she toasts My Fair Lady and Funny Girl , is so ideal: Unlike most celebrities, she can take iconic images, juxtapose them with her own persona, and make them mean something new. She’s not just aping Barbra Streisand’s pucker like Jennifer Aniston , she’s relating a muse to herself, and that’s impressive even in a bombastic Annie Leibovitz shoot like this one. It’s what really makes her the new Madonna, not sheer popularity. Photos after the jump.

When Lea Michele Met Barbra Streisand: A Play in Two Tweets

To say that Lea Michele has been waiting to meet Barbra Streisand for a long time is a bit of an understatement. When Movieline caught up with the Glee star last summer to play My Favorite Scene , all she could talk about was Babs’ star-making turn in Funny Girl . “I just related to that movie so much,” she said. “It’s my favorite movie ever.” As anyone who saw her performance at the Tonys — or any minute of Glee , in general — can attest, she wasn’t lying. So, what would happen if Michele ever got the opportunity to meet Streisand out in public? Some hyperventilating and tweeting, of course.
