Final programming note

 



Stargazing content has moved to a new page at thestar.com, where you will find celebrity/pop stories.
I will still be doing the Stargazing pages and the tabloid round-up in the Sunday paper.

Programming note

I'll be taking an extra-long long weekend and shall not be joining you tomorrow, so here's a picture of Richard Attenborough and what I thought was Creepy Moss Woman from the Hills. It turns out that it's a "floral sculpture" of Attenborough.

John Travolta vs. the masseurs update #852

Finally, there's an accuser who has all kinds of details and happy memories of his alleged encounter with massage expert, Johnny Wigs. The Enquirer via NY Daily News has this. WARNING: Sexytime explicitness.

"Another former massage therapist has come forward — this one with compliments — claiming John Travolta has a magical set of lips. “He’s a great kisser,” Luis Gonzalez, now living overseas IN AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION, told the National Enquirer. “I know because I had sex with him, and he loved it.” Gonzalez told the Enquirer he found the “Saturday Night Fever” star “very experienced” in bed. He told the newspaper he spent an afternoon having passionate sex with Travolta at the posh Ritz-Carlton hotel in Laguna Niguel, Calif., in 1997. The former masseur claimed the randy rendezvous started shortly after he set up his massage table in the actor’s room. Travolta reportedly stripped down and said it was too warm for a top sheet THAT LINE NEVER GETS OLD, Gonzalez said. “I gladly let him lay on the table naked . . . and within five minutes, Travolta spread his legs and I could see an erection,” he told the Enquirer. “He moved around and started to breathe heavily. He’d say, ‘Oh, yeah, that feels so good! A little higher, please!’ ” ALSO A GREAT, CLASSIC LINE. Gonzalez said Travolta made it clear he wanted more than a regular massage, so the couple hopped into the sack. “We got into the bed that was right next to the massage table and had a really good time,” he claimed. “Travolta may not identify himself as a gay man, but it doesn’t dismiss the fact that he likes sex with men,” Gonzalez said. Travolta’s lawyer, Marty Singer, dismissed the new accusations. “When it comes to claims about my client in supermarket tabloids, consider the source,” Singer said in a statement to the Daily News. This spate of recklessly published tabloid stories is just part of a malicious tabloid agenda to boost lagging sales by running outrageous, defamatory stories about my client sourced by people seeking notoriety or a payday.”

This stupid dog is pretty stupid

... while, of course, maintaining a high level of cuteness.

Cannes jury: what is going on here?

I don't mean to be crude this early in the morning (I totally do) but this is the weirdest seating aparatus I've ever seen. So, is it A) Nanni Moretti,  Diane Kruger, Ewan McGregor and Jean-Paul Gaultier demonstrating some sort of communal toilet facility? B) A "Cannes can" if you will? C) I'll stop now.

Raven-Symone outed by tabloid

The Enquirer and its army of informers, sources, insiders and close pals decided to out Raven-Symone. Or, Raven-Symone decided that this was a resonable way to out herself and let her family know where they can put their fury. Either way ...

"Former “Cosby Show” cutie Raven-Symone’s fam­ily is furious that she’s fallen in love with another woman and has moved the sexy model into her home, say sources. ISN'T IT BETTER THAN IF SHE'D MOVED A BORING, UGLY MODEL INTO HER HOME? Lesbian rumors have hounded the talented 26-year-old actress for years, and as recently as 2008 she denied them, stating: “It’s false that I’m dating a girl right now.” But sources close to Raven say she’s gay and has shacked up with AzMarie Livingston, the androgynous beauty recently seen on “America’s Next Top Model.” The two are living together in Raven’s luxury $11,000-a-month New York City condo. “Raven has lost almost 30 Pounds, has done a whole image makeover, and now she is the star of ‘Sister Act’ on Broadway,” said a close source. “She’s at a point now where she doesn’t care what her family thinks, and she’s in love with AzMarie. She’s a lesbian and wants to live that way. She feels her parents are still trying to treat her like she’s a kid, and she’s told them she’s going to do what she wants.” And that includes Raven maintaining her own love-nest apartment with her 24-year-old girlfriend, say insiders. Best remembered as Olivia, the ador­able 3-year-old on “The Cosby Show” in the late ’80s, the talented entertainer went on to star in the Disney Chan­nel series “That’s So Raven.” She’s also appeared in “The Cheetah Girls” TV movies. “Raven has hidden being gay for a long time now,” said the source. “But about a year ago, she was introduced by a friend to AzMarie, who is absolutely gorgeous. The two began see­ing each other, and a few months ago, Raven finally got the nerve to ask her to move into her lavish Manhattan condo. When her family found out, they blew their stack and it’s created a gay scandal for Raven. NOT UNTIL NOW, REALLY. AND IT'S REALLY NOT SCANDALOUS AT ALL. She told her parents she loves them, but her home – especially her bedroom – is nobody’s business, and she was not going to back down, so they needed to accept it, period.”

Why is Batman's butt so cold?

No, it's not a riddle. It's this Mountain Dew display. If I didn't already dislike Mountan Dew, I'd start right now. Look how sad he is.

Magic Mike: EW cover is delicious

Well, that helped make my morning a little less annoying. Entertainment Weekly has this: "EW brought the group back together for a wet and wild photo shoot followed by a rowdy, booze-soaked dinner, where the costars swapped their best stories about acting, waxing, and baring (nearly) everything in their new film. ”Actors, generally, if we finish our scenes early one day, we go home. It wasn’t like that on this set. Especially during the dances—we were there cheering everybody on,” says Tatum, who was there when a frenzied group of extras accidentally ripped off McConaughey’s thong during a dance number. “It was a collection of women being like, ‘I have to tip him,’ and then the weight of all the dollar bills in their hands just took [his thong] off,” Tatum recalls, laughing. Consummate actor that he is, McConaughey didn’t even break character. “I stayed in sequence,” he says proudly. “I went for the tuck. [Mimes covering his manhood] I went for the roll. [Mimes doing a forward roll] And I finished the dance.”
