Lady Gaga got the Cover of Harper’s because she’s a cover girl. Or maybe she has a good PR team. Or maybe Harper’s owes her a favour from an exclusive she gave them back when she peaked, or maybe despite her record sales, she’s still Lady Gaga, still a huge star, still capable of selling magazines even though magazines are a dying breed….but I guess the people at Harper’s aren’t insane. It’s like you don’t give a sinking ship thanks to no one caring about her antics all the glory, you want until people start mourning its loss…you know like the public did with Michael Jackson. One day a pedophile everyone hated, the next day dead and a legend…you fickle pieces of shit… That said, they also gave the cover to Penelope Cruz and Linda Evangelista are also cover girls…because Gaga doesn’t deserve anything…if you take a second away from her tits…you’ll see a face that was meant to be behind the scenes…seriously…what a horrible fucking face…
Justin Theroux celebrated his 41st birthday Saturday, but the actor-screenwriter had other plans that he’d been dying to follow through on for some time: Getting engaged to Jennifer Aniston . On August 10, the pair of 15 months sat at a corner table at Blue Hill restaurant in Manhattan, but the celebration was just getting started. He proposed, and she gave him “an extraordinary gift” by accepting. “He’s been dying to do it,” says a Theroux pal of popping the question. “His friends knew it was coming for months.” Immediately after Aniston’s heartfelt yes, “Jen cried” and called her dad, a confidante says, adding that Theroux’s proposal was “simple.” “Everyone is really excited for them,” adds a source. “It’s amazing to see how happy Justin has made Jen since they first got together, and everyone was always hoping that he would propose.” Friends say that Justin is a perfect match for Jen. “They have the same low-key attitude about life,” says a member of the duo’s inner circle. “They just click and complement each other.” [Photo: WENN.com]

On the heels of her quasi firing from the Snow White and the Huntsman sequel , Kristen Stewart could use all the support she can get. And she now has some from one of the most respected actresses in Hollywood. Oscar winner Jodie Foster has penned an editorial for The Daily Beast in which stands up for her Panic Room costar – the pair appeared in that 2001 thrilled when Stewart was 11 – and slams the celebrity-obsessed media culture, which likes to “life up beautiful young people like gods and then pull them down to earth to gaze at their seams.” Foster, who has acted since the age of three, writes: “If I were a young actor today I would quit before I started. If I had to grow up in this media culture, I don’t think I could survive it emotionally… Would I drown myself in drugs, sex, and parties? Would I be lost?” Foster never cites Kristen’s affair with Rupert Sanders . She refrains from commenting on this specific scandal. Instead, she takes a larger view at what the 24/7 news channels, supermarket tabloids and blogosphere have created, saying the constant attention makes it difficult for an actor to give a “truthful” performance because he or she is always on guard. It’s impossible to be “fearful” in the face of such a barrage. “How can you do that if you know you will be personally judged, skewered, betrayed? If you’re smart, you learn to willfully disassociate, to compartmentalize. Putting your emotions into a safety box definitely comes in handy when the public throws stones.” Sounds a lot like the public persona Stewart gives off, doesn’t it? She’s never looked comfortable in the spotlight. How come? “She’s learned,” writes Foster. “She keeps her head down, her shades on, fists in her pockets. Don’t speak. Don’t look. Don’t cry.” Foster concludes with advice for her young, troubled friend: The public horrors of today eventually blow away. And yes, you are changed by the awful wake of reckoning they leave behind. You trust less. You calculate your steps. You survive. Hopefully in the process you don’t lose your ability to throw your arms in the air again and spin in wild abandon. That is the ultimate F.U. and–finally–the most beautiful survival tool of all. Don’t let them take that away from you.
