Gabriel Aubry is off the legal hook. The Canadian model was in court yesterday to hear a judge give him the good news, that he would not face any legal repercussions for allegations that he’s a danger when around three-year old daughter Nahla. A dependency court case had been brought against Halley Berry’s ex after he allegedly shoved a nanny while she held his child and after an investigation revealed that Nahla is sometimes afraid of her father’s temper. Still, the battle between Aubry and Berry is far from over. The former is still not allowed to spend time with Nahla outside of an adult supervisor and the ex-couple will soon attend family court again to continue working on custody rights.
In HBO’s new film Game Change , Sarah Palin is portrayed by Julianne Moore as unstable, unprepared and ill-informed on world affairs and basic world history. The former GOP V.P. candidate is none too pleased about all this, even though the film is based on John Heilemann and Mark Halperin’s page-turning bestseller. A non-fiction bestseller. Of course, Palin will never actually see it, but dag gone it, “Hollywood lies are Hollywood lies,” she says of Game Change and its window into the 2008 election. Palin accuses Jay Roach, the director, and his collaborator, Danny Strong, of trying “[To] drum up their money and their machine and their machine happens to be very pro-leftist, pro-Barack Obama … there at HBO.” The one-time Alaska Governor lambasted its “false narrative” also noted that any of the campaign staffers who contributed to revealing behind-the-scenes information for Game Change should feel “shame and… embarrassment.” Palin’s PAC slammed the film , debuting tomorrow night, as “historical fiction.” The PAC claims that despite the alleged 25 sources consulted, “none are on record nor is their level of involvement in the campaign disclosed. Not one source is on the record in either the book or in the movie and it is clear why.” Never mind that much of the film involves Moore reenacting scenes that took place in real life, on TV … or that the film might not even be that negative. The L.A. Times describes Game Change as a “surprisingly kind film about Sarah Palin,” and NPR argues that the movie actually goes too easy on her. Or as they put it (to Fox News), Game Change is “fair – and balanced.” Check out the trailer for the much-talked-about film right here: Game Change Movie Trailer
He’s one of the most talented actors alive, as well as a member of the Saturday Night Live hosting pantheon. In short: Jon Hamm ruled long before he spoke to Great Britain’s Elle magazine. In the latest issue, though, the Mad Men star says exactly what anyone with an IQ over 12 is thinking: why do so many people care about Kim Kardashian and other reality stars?!? “We’re at a place where the idea of being ‘elite’ is somehow considered a negative,” Hamm says. “Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f-cking idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you’re rewarded significantly… It doesn’t make sense to me.” Mad Men premieres season five on March 25. Let’s hope Hamm’s rant just earned the tremendous show an even bigger following.
