Good point. He has sucked since the 80's...exception Bowfinger and Boomerang. I just remember his recent Oscar Nom, I think it was for Dream Girls and he was so pissed he lost, he left. So I was hoping for a little snark, cattiness...since he's probably going to be up for anything for some time. Can't get behind Hugh Jackman...that was odd seeing Wolverine, Mr. Action man...doing a song and dance...i mean...really, really, enjoying doing a song and dance. :4biggrin: Maybe this is the time for NPH? Paging Neil Patrick Harris??

I hear you. But I think he'd be a hell of a lot better than last years hosts, Dazed (James Franco) and Confused (Ann Hathaway). Movie's officially a flop...so any controversy won't help it. Puss..mmmmm...Tyler.

1) Apparently the word "fags" 2) As I understand it, the only reason Eddie was doing it was because Brett was producing and had asked him. Once Brett was gone, the reason for Eddie saying yes was gone too. As for Murphy leaving? Meh. Who really cares? The most ironic thing about this whole fiasco is that it will drum up a ton of free publicity for Murphy/Ratner's new movie. Actually, I kinda do. I'd like to have a host who can be catty and not kiss butts of people there. Eddie might've fit it, since he's not pursuing any award. Diversity is also a great thing as well. The publicity...isn't really helping the flick. It will be out of theaters by Oscar time and this weekend, It got beat by Puss In Boots...normally it's Puss getting...oh, I digress...

It's that time again...The Fan Chit Chat Douchebag of the Year 2010. Write-Ins are encouraged as usual. I tried to make it as difficult as I could.

Kutcher pleads for media honesty in new video Amid reports that he cheated on Demi Moore, actor goes after the 'status of truth' Ashton Kutcher has been plagued by tabloid stories saying that he cheated with a woman named Sarah Leal in San Diego last month. By Tim Kenneally TheWrap.com LOS ANGELES — Ashton Kutcher still hasn't directly addressed tabloid reports that he cheated on wife Demi Moore — but he's certainly perfecting his ability to tease the public via social media. The new "Two and a Half Men" star — who's been plagued by tabloid stories saying that he cheated with a woman named Sarah Leal in San Diego last month — seemed to allude to the scuttlebutt about his marriage Wednesday in a rambling video monologue. The video, posted to social media site chime.in, called for more honesty from the digital-age media. He says the lower cost of publishing has led to a cheapening of values, and that truth is suffering. "I just wanted to open up a little dialogue in the state of honesty, the status of truth as it pertains to literature and media," Kutcher begins. The actor goes on to note that, in the Internet age, anyone can be a budding media mogul. He says that's not necessarily a good thing. "The threshold to have literature printed and distributed — the cost structure went down to zero dollars," Kutcher reflects. "Thereby, there is no gatekeeper of the truth. We are our own editors, and we are our own publishers. We are our own printers. Thereby people can bastardize the truth in any way, shape or form they want and spread that around the world ... There's that old saying that a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can leave someone's lips." Kutcher — who's almost as well-known for his investment in developing technologies as he is for his acting — wraps up his video by calling for a sense of responsibility. Though neither Kutcher nor Moore has spoken about the divorce reports, both appear to have alluded to them on Twitter. In late September, Kutcher cryptically tweeted, "When you ASSUMME [sic] to know that which you know nothing of you make an ASS out of U and ME." Moore, meanwhile, offered her own vague-but-titillating missive, tweeting a picture of herself with her eyes closed and the caption, "I see through you."

Lohan late for first day of community service By Michael Martinez, CNN updated 3:18 PM EST, Thu October 20, 2011 Lindsay Lohan must work two shifts a week at the Los Angeles County morgue until a probation revocation hearing in November. Los Angeles (CNN) -- Actress Lindsay Lohan missed her first day of community service at the Los Angeles County morgue Thursday, one day after a judge rebuked her for similar failures, revoked her probation and forced her to post $100,000 bail. "Lindsay arrived at the morgue approximately 20 minutes late and will be returning for orientation tomorrow," said her publicist Steven Honig. "Her lateness was due to a combination of not knowing what entrance to go through and confusion caused by the media waiting for her arrival," Honig said in a statement. "Lindsay spoke with the supervisors at the morgue. They showed her how to get in, and everything is all cleared up." Chief Coroner Craig Harvey said Lohan failed to show up on time -- 7 a.m. PT Thursday -- to the coroner's office. Though she arrived late, Lohan was turned away because there wasn't enough time to complete her hours for the day, officials said. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner ruled Wednesday that after Lohan posted $100,000 bail for her probation revocation, she had to perform two working shifts -- or eight hours a day -- twice a week until her probation revocation hearing November 2. Lohan's tardiness Thursday doesn't mean she is turned away from the program, Harvey said. If Lohan shows up Friday on time, she will be allowed to work and perform her community service, Harvey said. The coroner's office will dismiss Lohan from her morgue duties only if she does something "terribly" wrong or shows misconduct, Harvey said. Sautner revoked probation for Lohan because of her failure to comply with community service at a downtown Los Angeles women's center. Under Sautner's ruling, once Lohan made bail the same day, the actress now must perform 16 hours of community service a week -- over a minimum of two days a week -- at the county morgue before her probation violation hearing next month. Lohan, 25, was on probation after pleading guilty in May to stealing a necklace from a Venice, California, jewelry store. She served five weeks of home confinement ending in June for that misdemeanor theft and violation of another probation. Lohan's legal woes began in 2007 with two drunken driving arrests and have been compounded by her failure to attend counseling classes and her failures of alcohol and drug tests. Her current probation calls for her to perform 360 hours at the Los Angeles Downtown Women's Center and 120 hours at the county morgue within a year. But the judge expressed anger Wednesday at Lohan's repeated probation failures. She said Lohan posted nine absences at the women's center since her last court hearing July 21 -- and performed, at most, only two hours of service. Lohan's attempt to perform community service at a nearby Red Cross facility -- instead of the women's center -- was voided Wednesday because the judge said she didn't authorize that change. After the hearing, Lohan publicist Honig released a statement: "Lindsay is hoping this matter will be resolved on November 2 and the court will reinstate probation and allow her to continue fulfilling her community service." Lohan's estranged father, Michael Lohan, told HLN's "Issues With Jane Velez-Mitchell" that his daughter needs "a very, very intensive" program of rehabilitation for substance abuse. "What the judge did, she had to do," he said Wednesday. But he said jail time would not be the proper remedy. "She's not going to be working the morgue. She's going to wind up in a morgue if someone doesn't do something to get her help," he said. At one point during this week's hearing, Los Angeles city attorneys Lisa Houle and Melanie Chavira asked the court to revoke Lohan's probation and impose jail time because of her failure to do community service. One of the city attorneys said Lohan "is in violation for getting herself kicked out of the women's center, which she was ordered to do." But Lohan's attorney told the court that the actress received "a glowing" probation report, which said that "Ms. Lohan has reached a turning point" in her behavior and maturity. The judge raised several questions about the reliability of that report, however. Sautner remarked how the probation report showed Lohan had excused absences from community service between September 9 and October 5 so that she could travel to New York, Milan, Italy, and Paris for work. But a psychologist's report said Lohan had perfect attendance for counseling every week, the judge observed. "The psychologist said she appeared in person for her counseling every Tuesday," the judge said. "I don't know how she did that." "Did she go to Milan for five days and come back in time or go to Paris for five days and come back in time?" Sautner asked the defense attorney. "If she was gone from September 9 to October 5, did she get beamed across the pond? I don't know how that happened," the judge said. Lohan's attorney, Shawn Holley, told Sautner that she didn't know the specifics of Lohan's psychological appointments, but the attorney said the arrangement did call for phone conferences. Holley added that Lohan's work in Europe was done to support her and her family -- and affected her ability to carry out the community service. "Because the work is out of the county, it did cause a disruption to her schedule" to do community service, Holley said. Lohan's community service at the county morgue won't be easy, the judge noted. "They don't mess around and you show up and do what they tell you to do," Sautner said.

She still is going to avoid jail....due to overcrowding. Translation, jails are already filled with poor, non-violent drug offenders, who don't have the wealth/famous name to keep them out.

Oct 19, 2011 1:53pm Lindsay Lohan Gets Probation Revoked, Led Out of Court in Handcuffs abcnews.com Lindsay Lohan was taken into custody today. Lindsay Lohan was handcuffed and taken into custody after Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Saunter revoked her probation stemming from her January shoplifting case. Saunter set Lohan’s bail at $100,000 and set a probation violation hearing for Nov. 2. Lohan arrived in court on time, wearing a flowing white dress and scarf. She wore her hair pulled back in a ponytail; her face appeared heavily made up with blush, eyeliner and lipstick. Saunter lambasted the 25-year-old actress during the 40-minute long hearing. At issue: Lohan’s termination from the Downtown Women’s Center and decision to do community service at the American Red Cross instead. In July, Saunter sentenced Lohan to 360 hours of community service at the Downtown Women’s Center, a safe haven for L.A.’s homeless women. “Ms. Lohan’s actions deliberately made it impossible for her to perform her sentence at the Downtown Women’s Center,” Saunter said, referring to Lohan’s hectic work travel schedule. Saunter said she “will not give her any credit” for Lohan’s work at the Red Cross noting, “nobody has the power to change my sentence.” Saunter said that when Lohan got terminated from the Downtown Women’s Center, “she should have immediately enrolled in the morgue.” “It’s eight hour shifts, they don’t mess around,” she said of the morgue. “You show up and do what they tell you to do.” Saunter made frequent reference to Lohan’s inability to fulfill a seemingly manageable sentence. “You’re praising her for completing 12 hours in six months when most people could do that in one or two weeks,” Saunter told Shawn Chapman Holley, Lohan’s lawyer. “A year is a generous amount of time and the way I can count, she’s got 57 out of those 60 days left to do.” “Probation is a gift,” Saunter said. “And there’s something called looking a gift horse in the mouth.” At one point, Saunter read from Lohan’s probation report that explained why she didn’t enjoy working at the Downtown Women’s Center. “Her words: ‘The service was not fulfilling.’ Is that what a sentence is about?,” Saunter asked. “It’s to fulfill the defendant?” She paused before answering her own question, “No.” “We all can’t be fulfilled by what we do,” Saunter said later. Holley had a bail bondsman at the hearing, but even if Lohan is released on $100,000 bail, she’ll have work to do before heading back to court on Nov. 2. Saunter decreed that Lohan “do a minmum of 16 hours at the morgue,” if she bails out. “That’s two days between now and the hearing date.”

'Hung' Star Thomas Jane Admits He Turned Tricks With Men by Chris Harnick, posted Oct 3rd 2011 3:20PM Thomas Jane plays a male prostitute on the show 'Hung,' and it turns out he has some real-life experience in that arena. "Hey, you grow up as an artist in a big city, as James Dean said, you're going to have one arm tied behind your back if you don't accept people's sexual flavors," Jane told the Los Angeles Times. "You know, when I was a kid out here in L.A., I was homeless, I didn't have any money and I was living in my car. I was 18. I wasn't averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?" Jane plays divorced dad Ray Drecker in the HBO comedy 'Hung.' Struggling to get by, Ray turns to prostitution to get some financial stability. Jane's character has never slept with a man on the show, but he made headlines in September when he told Vulture, "I told HBO, the year I end up with a penis in my mouth is the last year of the show." The comment caused some backlash toward Jane and now in response, he's opened up about his past. "You're a lot more open to experimentation as a young man," he said. "And for me, being a young artist and broke in Los Angeles, I was exploring my sexual identity. And probably because of my middle-class, white blue-collar upbringing, I would have never had the opportunity to confront some of my own fears and prejudices had I not been hungry enough to be forced to challenge myself in that way."

I actually like the choice as well....not because I'm hoping for the comedic genius of old, but because he's going up there without worrying about pissing anybody off in the Hollywood establishment. That's been one major problem with Oscar hosts, balancing their jokes with ass kissing. I think he'll do alright, probably not too hilarious...but definitely enough to keep a great interest, while being a little catty. Besides, he can't do any worse than Franco and Hathaway.

No one cares. And there are concerns that the child might look like Jay-Z. :4biggrin:

What movie in 2011 are you most looking forward to seeing? Write-ins are encouarged. I left off a few...Cars 2..etc.

Rise of The Apes was surprisingly good.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/roger-wolfso...w_b_913437.html Crazy, Stupid, Love -- More Important Than the Title Might Suggest Spending almost two hours in the dark with Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Ryan Gosling, and Emma Stone, enjoying their trials and travails, their growth and their romance, is really so much fun that you're to be forgiven if you don't realize, by the time you walk out, that you've just seen a very important film. I wouldn't think of spoiling the big reveals of the movie for you. But let me let you in on the worst-kept secret of Hollywood Romance Movies: they all follow a formula. It's such a common formula that most of us can recite it by heart without even knowing it. We are like Ralph Macchio in Karate Kid. We've seen it so many times that we know it by rote without necessarily knowing that we know it. This movie is so gentle, the acting so spot-on, and the directing so sensitive and textured, that you might miss the fact that in several distinct ways, it offers a fresh, new model for romantic comedies. The writer, directors, and actors have managed to sign on to a concept, and deliver a product, that feels so comfortable and enjoyable that we don't even notice that we've been given something truly new for a major studio tentpole romantic comedy: We've been given something to think about. We've been given an opportunity to think about our dreams, and how our romance connects to that. About the motivational and personal power that comes from our passions and desires, even if unrequited. We've been given an opportunity to wonder about the role love can play in our future and not just our present. We've been given the chance to muse about how our own movie should end, even as we accept and enjoy the mysterious and strangely mature delight of how this one did. And along the way we see some of the most memorable scenes we've ever seen from actors of the caliber of Carell, Gosling, Stone (oh, wow), and even Marisa Tomei, under the amazingly deft direction of the best pair of directors in town -- Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Dan Fogelman, the writer, has written a beautiful script but he must be in love with his directors. And when you see it, I think you will be, too. I actually don't think I want to say any more about the film. I just hope you'll see it, and enjoy it as a present to be unwrapped on Christmas morning. And don't just stop after removing the wrapping and say oh, what a pleasant box. This is a movie that suggests it's time we open the box, too.

Showboating Steven Spielberg fined for angering holidaymakers as he took Gwyneth Paltrow out on his £220m yacht By Nick Pisa Last updated at 11:54 PM on 25th July 2011 Billionaire film director Steven Spielberg has been fined by Italian coastguards after his speedboat came too close to the coast and annoyed holidaymakers. Triple Academy Award winner Spielberg, 64, was with actress Gwyneth Paltrow, when the incident took place after they took a trip in his speedboat while on his £220 million luxury yacht Seven Seas. Angry sunbathers called police and coastguards because of the noise from the tender's powerful outboard motor after the director ventured to close to the shore and breached maritime regulations. Coastguards were quickly on the scene at La Maddalena, a picturesque beauty spot off the north east coast of Sardinia, which is renowned as being a millionaire's playground. Contrite Spielberg, whose films include Jaws, Shindler's List and Saving Private Ryan, immediately apologised telling coastguards: 'I'm sorry. I'm Steven Spielberg. I didn't know the rules. It's only right I pay.' Officials said that the following day a fax arrived at their headquarters in Palau with a photocopy of the postal order proving the 172 euro fine had been paid. Spielberg has been holidaying in the Mediterranean aboard his 280ft yacht Seven Seas and his tender had breached the 900ft exclusion zone from the shoreline and so was liable for the fine. Coastguard Vincenzo Petrella said:'When we arrived at the scene there was a bearded gentleman signing autographs for people on the beach - we had been called by holidaymakers because the tender was so close to the shore. 'I recognised him instantly and he came up to me and said 'I'm Steven Spielberg. How can I help ?' I told him that regulations forbid tenders coming within 300 metres of the shore. 'I said that I had no other option but to fine him. He was very apologetic and even offered to pay there and then but I explained I could not take any money from him and it had to be paid via a post office account. 'He took the paperwork and the next day a fax arrived at our office confirming that the fine had been paid.'

Amy Winehouse dead after 'drink and drugs binge' by Will Payne, Sunday Mirror 24/07/2011 TRAGIC Amy Winehouse was found dead yesterday aged just 27. Her death followed a binge on ecstasy and booze, we can reveal. The troubled singer, who spent years battling heroin and drink addictions, is believed to have been found slumped at home by her bodyguard. But she was already “beyond help” by the time ­ambulance crews and police arrived. She was pronounced dead at the scene. At 8.45pm a private ambulance arrived at the house and five minutes later Amy was brought out in a body bag. Last night her heartbroken mother said she believed her daughter’s death had been “only a matter of time” when they met just 24 hours before she died. “She seemed out of it. But her passing so suddenly still hasn’t hit me,” said Janis Winehouse, who will now always remember how Amy said, ‘I love you mum’ at the end of an enjoyable day together. “They are the words I will always treasure,” said Janis. “I’m glad I saw her when I did.” On hearing the news, Amy’s distraught father Mitch Winehouse wept: “This isn’t real. I’m completely devastated. Speaking from New York, the taxi driver and part-time singer said: “I’m getting the next plane back. I’m coming home. I have to be with Amy. “I can’t crack up for her sake. My family need me. I’m devastated, it’s such a shock.” Last night a neighbour told how he heard noises from Amy’s home on ­Saturday afternoon. “At about 3.30am I heard crying from next door... terrible crying like somebody mourning.The ambulances and police cars arrived shortly after that.” Police described Amy’s death as “unexplained”. But friends who have seen her over the last few weeks say she had hit the self-destruct button over the last two days in wild drinking ­sessions around Camden, North London. A friend said: “She has spent the last seven days on a massive bender and people were saying she’s going to drink herself to death.” Friends who were with her believe she died from a “bad” ecstasy pill combined with huge amounts of alcohol and the fact she suffered from emphysema. One friend partying with her over the last weeks said: “It was an ecstasy overdose. She could do cocaine ­until the cows come home. But this was ­obviously a dodgy pill.” That was backed up by MTV ­producer Danny Panthaki, who claimed: “My friend’s boyfriend is a policeman, and he’s the one who found Amy Winehouse dead. ­Overdosed on ecstasy.” There were tributes last night from some of music’s biggest names. Sir Elton John said: “She was one of the most seminal artists this country has ever produced.” Lady Gaga wrote on twitter: “RIP to the amazing #amywinehouse. Such a talented singer.” Mark Ronson, who produced her multi-million selling Back To Back album, said: “She was my musical soulmate and likea sister to me. This is one of the saddest days of my life.” Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, who was with Amy earlier in the week, said: “It’s a very sad loss of a very good friend.” Kate Moss said on ­twitter: “RIP Amy Winehouse, So upset, my heart goes out to her, sad to see such talent vanish from the world.” Lily Allen said: “Its just beyond sad, there’s nothing else to say. She was such a lost soul, may she rest in peace.” Rihanna said on Twitter: “Dear God have mercy!!! I am SICK about this right now! Dear Amy.” Ex Premier Gordon’s wife Sarah Brown said on Twitter: “Sad, sad news of Amy Winehouse – great talent, extraordinary voice, and tragic death.” US singer LeAnn Rimes wrote: “RIP Amy Winehouse. So sad to see such a talent gone.” Chris Goodman, a spokesman for Amy’s management, said: “We are all shocked and devastated.” The star made her last public appearance on Wednesday with goddaughter Dione Broomfield at the iTunes festival at Camden Roundhouse. And we can reveal how on the night before she died Amy spent an hour on the phone to best friend Kelly Osbourne, who said: “I was speaking to her last night, she seemed ­absolutely fine, I don’t understand how this could have ­happened.” However another friend said: “There was always a danger of something like this. Her drinking is totally out of control. She’s constantly out of ­control on vodka. She’d drink bottle after bottle and ­mixing those ­quantities with drugs is lethal.” Just two days ago neighbours said they saw her arrive in a cab with Big Brother star Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace. She collapsed when she got out of the taxi and had to be carried inside. Soon after her death, police cordoned off the area, aiming to question everyone who had been in and out in the last few days. Around 150 fans gathered and Amy’s distraught boyfriend Reg Traviss also arrived. Amy’s bodyguard Ray Grange was being ­questioned as a witness. He is believed to have found the body and raised the alarm. In May she had admitted herself to The Priory clinic in South West London and was pictured swigging a bottle of vodka. Just weeks later her European tour was cancelled after  a  shambolic performance in Belgrade when she was booed offstage. Only hours ­before her body was discovered her management team released a statement calling off the tour indefinitely and saying Amy was “withdrawing from all scheduled performances”. Last night it was revealed that in line with ­Jewish tradition, Amy’s funeral could be held today if police are satisfied with the results of their post-mortem examination. Amy’s death puts her in the infamous “27 Club” of drink- and drug-troubled rock stars who all died at the same age. She joins Kurt Cobain, Brian Jones, Jim ­Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin.

Eric Dane Checks Into Rehab By Tim Nudd Wednesday July 20, 2011 11:30 AM EDT Facebook Tweet Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane recently entered a rehab clinic in Los Angeles to battle an addiction to painkillers. "Actor Eric Dane voluntarily checked himself into a treatment facility to help him get off of pain medication that he was prescribed for a sports injury that he suffered over the recent hiatus. He reports back to work this week. Business as usual," his rep says in a statement. The news comes just a few weeks after PEOPLE confirmed that Dane, 38, and his wife Rebecca Gayheart, 39, are expecting their second child. Daughter Billie is 16 months old.

I'm not a Rom-Com...guy, but that trailer looks hilarious. I will be seeing in a couple of weeks and report back. Thanks! Saw this movie....and it was surprisingly, really good. One of the best films I have seen this year...SERIOUSLY. As I said time and time again...I normally hate EVERYTHING. lol. The best way to describe this movie is, "About A Boy" meets "Love, Actually". If you liked those two movies....then this the movie for you. I was not a fan of Steve Carrell...but I am turning into one now. It was a perfect blend of his deadpan comedy along with him actually doing some very convincing acting. The only beef I had was...it could've been a good 20-30 minutes shorter.

Sure. I'm sure those thoughts are are completely separated and not intertwined at all. On another familiar subject...Jen is doing press for her new movie. And Brad's name is coming up...AH-GAIN. Surprise, surprise.

I'm not a Rom-Com...guy, but that trailer looks hilarious. I will be seeing in a couple of weeks and report back.

Totally agree. She also seems like she has zero personality...like she is a robot or something, at least when she is being interviewed. Weird...she's built like the women most of us regular dudes are into...but something's amiss.

Do you think you'd feel differently if she were standing in front of you talking about them? lol Especially if she was wearing the bathing suit at the time. :4biggrin: Nope. I'm a dude...so that means I'm not into chatty cathy's. No matter how curvy they are.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers's Battle with Addiction By Dahvi Shira It was a shock when Jonathan Rhys Meyers was hospitalized on Tuesday due to a relapse – but the talented actor's troubles are nothing new. Dating back to early 2005, the Tudors star, 33, has bounced in and out of rehab and been arrested or detained for several drunken brawls. In 2007, almost six months after his second trip to rehab, the first of Meyers's public violent tirades got him in trouble with the law. After demonstrating erratic, abusive behavior at the Dublin, Ireland, airport, the actor was arrested and released shortly thereafter. Meyers's lawyer apologized on behalf of the star less than a month later for his "unacceptable and out of character" actions, which were later determined to be alcohol-related. But two and a half years later, Meyers faced a case of déjá vu. After allegedly punching a Charles De Gaulle airport lounge employee while drunk in 2009, Meyers was detained by French police. Handcuffed and placed in custody, the actor remained in a sober lock-up area for three hours before being released. Following that run-in with the law, Meyers stayed out of headlines until a year later when he reportedly had yet another airport altercation. The actor was allegedly reprimanded for using the 'N' word and displaying drunk and disorderly conduct at New York's JFK airport while boarding a flight to L.A. Shortly thereafter, he was headed back to rehab again. "He just really wants to get better," a source close to the actor told PEOPLE at the time. "This has been an ongoing battle for him." Meyers, who was born with a serious heart problem, has consistently experienced bumps in the road. Expelled from high school at 16 for truancy, the actor lost his mom to illness in 2007 when she was only 50. "Accidental overdoses are on the rise, and deaths due to overdoses have increased significantly in the last 10 years," Dr. David Sack, M.D., CEO of Promises Treatment Centers, explains to PEOPLE. "This change is due to the epidemic abuse of prescription narcotics which are highly lethal when combined with alcohol or other drugs." Adds Sack, "to recover, an individual has to believe they have a problem. The fact that Rhys Meyers was trying to send away the ambulance suggests he didn't recognize the seriousness of the problem and that he was still hoping to conceal it. If on reflection he decides to re-engage in treatment, his prognosis could be very good. There are many examples of celebrities who recover with treatment after failing repeatedly."

Never, ever, ever, ever, in a million years would I ever think to be bored with a woman talking about her curves...but then along came Christina Hendricks....

Christina Hendricks Can't Find a Bathing Suit for Her Curves By Tracey Harrington McCoy Christina Hendricks is known for her curvy figure as much as her breakthrough role as Joan Holloway on AMC's hit show 'Mad Men'--but it turns out, her curves can make shopping a bit difficult. "It's really hard to find a bathing suit if you have breasts," she told Lucky Magazine [via UsMagazine.com.] "You either get smooshed down or there's no support. My husband and I have sketched out designs." But when it comes to clothing, Hendricks knows exactly what works for her. "I have to be careful about my proportions and keep it simple," the 36-year-old actress revealed. "What works for me is structure and something that shows my waist." For red-carpet events, the redhead also knows who to call. "[i love] Vivienne Westwood for drama, L'Wren Scott for her perfect tailoring and body consciousness and Zac Posen for whimsy," Hendricks said. But bottom line: "I try to remain calm and remind myself that this is a fun, lovely event."
