Wow that first picture of Billy Crystal makes him look like he's been embalmed. I much prefer the one HP posted with the crinkly eyes and the fur on his face.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Ban Questions About Relationship 6/6/05 Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are forcing journalists to sign a strict legal document forbidding them from asking questions about their relationship. The Mr and Mrs Smith co-stars are fed-up of speculation about their rumored romance, and have finally decided the subject should be off-limits. And should any member of the press refuse to cooperate, the Hollywood twosome can sue them for an "undisclosed" sum, according to website Page Six. Jolie's lawyer, Robert Offer, released a statement which included the following rules, "Interviewer will not ask Ms Jolie any questions regarding her personal relationships. "In the event interviewer does ask Ms Jolie any questions regarding her personal relationships, Ms Jolie will have the right to immediately terminate the interview and leave." It was also stipulated in Jolie's contract that interviewers must stick to questions about the movie being publicized. Pitt is more flexible in his demands - agreeing to discuss his charity work with the Make Poverty History campaign as well as upcoming projects. LINK

What, is he freaking Sally Struthers now? Why all of a sudden is he Mr. Out-of-Africa? Not that Africa can't use the help and the attention, but Pitt just now finds his vocal cords on the subject? And I'll bet if the press said they weren't interested in interviewing Pitt and Jolie under those restrictions, they'd both start whistling a different tune. Let's see - talk and get press for self and movie/don't talk and don't get press for self and movie. I think the press needs to get together and nip this situation in the bud. I'd really like it alot, though, if the press took Pitt's suggestion and ignored him for the rest of his life and used his press time/attention/slot to focus on Africa. Outside of being a much more admirable direction for resources, it would cause me no small measure of merriment to watch Pitt run around trying to get attention for himself/his movies only to be told the press is too busy promoting African causes.

GAL - he would have to start dating Lindsay Lohan, jumping like a chimp on Oprah's furniture and making out in public.

If the only time she comes out for the public is to promote her newest movie, I wish the media would by pass her. Lots of others can hype the movie who will also share what is going on in their lives. Not saying they have to tell every little detail--but something more than just that one movie. Some of these people need to learn that certain behaviors on their part come with a price. If you act really strange, people will be curious about the odd behaviors. If they want to be more out of the spot light--don't behave in a manner that draws attention to yourself.

Is this a promise or a threat? Lance, maybe she won't come out at all anymore... Angelina Jolie to Quit Hollywood? 6/7/05 Hollywood star Angelina Jolie wants to quit making movies - because she's bored of the filmmaking process. The brunette beauty, currently starring in Mr and Mrs Smith opposite Brad Pitt, is disillusioned after a number of reshoots delayed the release of the action comedy. And Jolie would rather devote her time to traveling, spending time with her adopted four-year-old son Maddox, and pursuing her work as an ambassador for the United Nations. She says, "I guess I just don't care as much as I used to. I'm happier doing other things. "Why would I want to spend so much making a film other than as a means to an end? "There's so much drama that comes with films - bickering with studios, directors fighting for their script. There's too much stuff about what product we need to get out to make this much money on that weekend. "There's not a lot of stuff that is exciting or fulfilling." LINK

I can respect that if it really happens. If you no longer like what you are doing and can afford to do something else, I say go for it. Heck, I would hope anyone in that position would stop doing something that no longer is worth the prices you have to put up with doing. Now, if only she will follow through.

I thought of a situation someone might bring up as a counter to my suggestions. Paul Newman. He doesn't sign autographs, and he doesn't do interviews except to hype a new release. So, why is that ok with me you might ask? Well, he leads what I would call a life that isn't in turmoil, doesn't create conflict or issues with others that raises eyebrows in a negative way. He wants privacy, although acts accordingly. He gives a bus load to charities through his products, although doesn't seek the spotlight for it. He basically gives what he asks for in return. He doesn't want privacy in one area, yet publicity in another. I think he has earned his requests. I remember his story long ago when asked why he stopped with autographs. It happened when a person asked for an autograph when he was going to the bathroom. And he wasn't whiny about it--very matter of fact and very issue oriented. Now Crowe is another matter! LOL

So do I, Mocha, and I have read that she primarily only makes movies now so that she can donate most of her salary to her charities. I think she gives Millions.

Well I disagree with ya Lance. But my opinion has nothing to do with the latest gossip. And isn't Paul Newman a billion years old?

Well Crowe seems like a total jerk. He is picking on the poor night porter because he cant get him a replacement phone at 4:00 in the morning. Well if he wanted first class service, what the heck was he doing staying at a boutique hotel which is not likely to have 24 hour maintenance staff. I hope the porter sues the heck out of him.

'Free Katie' Campaign Gains Steam Tue, Jun 07, 2005, 02:06 PM PT By Hanh Nguyen
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Is Katie Holmes using her romance with Tom Cruise as a publicity stunt or is she just a starry-eyed victim of the press? A line of "Free Katie" shirts for sale at FreeKatie.net is the latest Hollywood-inspired clothing trend that capitalizes on the celebrity gossip du jour. The garments gained popularity shortly after Cruise's notoriously exuberant "Oprah" appearance in May when he proclaimed his love for Holmes by leaping on the talk show host's couch. [....] Here's The Entire Story

You know, I always thought Cruise was a very good actor and I liked seeing some of his movies (not lately though). He plays the icy prick part really, really well. No wonder - I just saw him play it in real life during an interview for Australian 60 minutes. Instead simply saying "I'm not answering that question" to what seemed an innocuous question about Nicole and the kids, he got into a control issue situation complete with staredown and and order to the reporter to get his manners together. I thought in seeing the previews the reporter was truly crossing the line and going into crass territory to elicit that kind of response - not true, if the interview cut truly showed the correct question being asked. Dang. In honor of Cruise showing his ding-ding for everyone to see, I link to the following psycho-analysis of why Tom acts the way he does: Why Tom Acts the Way He Does That's not the real title of the article, I've cleaned it up but the analysis is pure comedy.

Either Entertainment Tonight or Extra was on earlier (sorry, TV was on...one of the entertainment/ gossip shows). Katie Holmes was asked if she had done any sessions with Scientology (that would mean auditing sessions). She said "yes". She has/is learning about Scientology. She has had some sessions and said she feels she is becoming a better person because of it. She thinks Scientology is wonderful. Another one recruited.
