Is Perez Hilton's mirror broken? Has he looked into it lately? Rumer looks better with a big old smile to offset the large jaw. Not sure why she always strikes the pouty model pose. I agree that a bigger nose would help too, but we all know what they do with big noses in hollywood. At least her nose is small enough the plastic surgeons will leave it alone. Beckham doesn't do it for me either. I don't like tattoos, especially not that many. And I don't like a shaved head.

Rumer is not in the least photogenic; however, when shown on film moving she is sort of cute. I have a DIL who is pug-ugly, but wow is she ever photogenic. You wouldn't know she is the same person. While the still camera loves some people, it positively hates others. You know what I mean?

I certainly know what you mean OG. I have a friend who is incredibly attractive in person but doesn't look nearly as attractive when photographed. It's an interesting problem that all portrait photographers face, though there are very definite ways of photographing people that will make them appear better or worse.

Here is a youtube that shows two pictures of a celebrity. They say it's because of makeup (Them looking good in one picture) but I think it is much more the photography...angles, lighting. Sure the makeup does help, but in some "bad ones" the person does have makeup... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpHkG0wX3Ws

The only one where the celeb looks bad (to me) in the no makeup shot is the one of Goldie Hawn. To me all the rest look just fine in the no makeup shot... THey just look better in the makeup shot.

I think Rumer is very pretty. I could do without the tattoos on david beckham, but seriously, I am not looking at any tattoos...

I agree with Julie. It's mostly bad photography. It is truly amazing how you can make someone look bad or good purely based on how you photograph her or him. Most people also think posing looks fake but again that may be because they don't know how to do it subtly. It can be as simple as suggesting someone slightly change her foot position. Half the time people don't even think you are posing them. It's amazing how even the positioning of other body parts can affect expressions. A slight change to the angle of the head can make someone look slimmer and younger. The lighting is also crucial. I could easily take two pictures of someone and make her look completely different without changing her make-up or wardrobe.

Hey, if Reese Witherspoon can pull off her chin, than Rumor should have no problem in the future.

True Groosh. I think Reese has already learned how wonderful that big smile makes her look. Rumer just needs to smile more.

Naomi Campbell pleads guilty in 'air rage' case Published - Jun 20 2008 11:08AM EDT | AP By GREGORY KATZ - Associated Press Writer Naomi Campbell pleaded guilty Friday to assaulting two police officers during an "air rage" incident at Heathrow Airport. She has not been sentenced yet. The model, known for her tempestuous behavior and frequent confrontations with her staff, faces substantial fines and up to six months in jail if the harshest sentence is imposed at Uxbridge Magistrates Court. Prosecutor Melanie Parrish told the court that Campbell had taken a first class seat on a British Airways flight from London to Los Angeles when she was told one of her bags, along with other passengers' luggage, had not been loaded onto the plane. She said the captain came out to explain the situation to Campbell, but that she became abusive and refused to listen, instead using her mobile phone to ask an aide for help. Parrish said Campbell used obscenities on the phone, then demanded another flight. "Get me another flight, get the press, get me my lawyer," the model said, according to prosecutors. She then attacked the police who handcuffed her and removed her from the jet, Parrish said. Campbell, 38, arrived in court Friday morning in a chauffeur-driven Mercedes and was immediately swarmed by paparazzi. She did not make a statement to the court beyond confirming her name and her address, and her lawyer entered a guilty plea. She was charged with six different offenses, including attacking police officers and using abusive language to cabin crew. Disorderly conduct was among the charges. She is accused of trying to kick the police officers who removed her from the plane. link

Ellen DeGeneres gave Portia de Rossi a glittering ring with pink diamonds for their upcoming wedding that will air in part on DeGeneres's talk show. "Yes, we have set a wedding date," said DeGeneres, who walked the red carpet with de Rossi at Friday night's 35th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. De Rossi wore a green satin Lanvin gown and a Neil Lane ring on her wedding finger. The ring was a marquis cut diamond set with pink diamonds. DeGeneres, 50, who won an Emmy for outstanding talk-show host for the fourth year in a row, announced her plans to wed longtime girlfriend de Rossi, on her show back in May, shortly after California's Supreme Court ruled the previous ban on gay marriages as unconstitutional. The two stars are in the midst of preparations for what DeGeneres calls "the dream wedding." "Planning a wedding is very stressful," says DeGeneres. "It is crazy. My gardener is now invited." The comedienne remained tight-lipped on the major details of her upcoming nuptials to de Rossi, 35, only revealing that "incredible people" would be performing, and that she would air part of the ceremony on her show. But there are no signs of any pre-wedding jitters for DeGeneres. "I can't wait to be married. I feel like it is long overdue," she said. "And I think someday people will look back on this like women not having the right to vote and segregation and anything else that seems ridiculous like we all don't have the same rights." The two stars began dating in December 2004

One foot and a skinny thigh wedged in death's door, I tell ya. She needs to be forcibly put into rehab in order to save her life. Not sure it's legal, but my gawd. ETA At least she's in the hospital!

24 seems too young to develop emphysema, unless she grew up in a secondhand-smoke filled home. I hope she gets better, gets help, and decides to take care of herself.

Didn't Carol Burnett's daughter die young from lung damage caused by cigarettes? I hope this is a wake up call for Amy to get healthy.

Her personal life has been valiant--tears in between the laughs. Married three times, her second union with jazz-musician-turned-variety-show-producer Joe Hamilton produced three daughters. Eldest girl 'Carrie Hamilton,' an actress and former teen substance abuser, tragically died of lung and brain cancer at age 38. Shortly before Carrie's death, mother and daughter managed to write a play together entitled "Hollywood Arms," based on Carol's 1986 memoir "One More Time." The show subsequently made it to Broadway.

Thank you OG ... Carrie was so young. So sad. Let's hope that Amy turns herself around in time.

It's ironic. In that picture she looks so full of life and fun. You can see Carol in her.

Carrie Hamilton was in Toronto a long time ago flogging a cute little movie called Tokyo Pop, I interviewed her and found her to be lovely and down to earth.

If Amy has 70% of her lung capacity she's way ahead of lots of people.. hopefully she'll stop abusing her lungs with this diagnosis. Can't say I'm real hopeful.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday, a spokesman said. He was 71. Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, died at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters. Known for his edgy, provocative material, Carlin achieved status as an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of drug references and a routine about seven dirty words you could not say on television. A regulatory battle over a radio broadcast of his "Filthy Words" routine ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court. (Reporting by Dean Goodman; Editing by Patricia Zengerle)
