If they ever remake The Big Lewbowski, Matthew McConaughey should be cast as The Dude. Can you imagine? McConaughey saying stuff like “The Dude abides” and “Fortunately, I’m adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber.” I mention this because whenever I read quotes from Matthew, I tend to hear them in The Dude’s voice. Try it, it’s fun!
McConaughey will appear on Wednesday’s Rachel Ray Show, and he’s talking about his utterly adorable son Levi. Judging only from pictures of Levi, I really think he must be so calm and chilled out, just like his dad. According to Matthew, out photo assumptions are correct - Matthew says Levi is “an easy traveler”. US Magazine has more:
Traveling with an 8-month old? No big deal, says Matthew McConaughey.
“Levi is doing well, man. Five stamps on the passport,” he says on the 500th episode of the Rachel Ray Show (airing Wednesday). “Check this out, perfect tank of gas before he wakes up and is ready to eat. So as soon as it gets below a quarter of a tank and I gotta pull off to get gas, Levi’s waking up. So far so good. We’re having a good time - he’s an easy traveler.”
McConaughey — who just signed on star in the upcoming legal thriller The Lincoln Lawyer - also dishes about what he’d do if he weren’t an actor.
“I think I’d either want to coach a college program, football,” he says. “Or go off and do like what Steve Irwin did. Or be a chef.”
When it comes to food, “I really like to get everything in one bowl,” he tells Ray.
“A lot of times we’ll make a pasta, and we’ll make a salad, and we’ll make a meat dish,” says the actor, who is dating model Camila Alves, the mother of his son. “We end up putting pasta on the bottom because of the heat and layer in the salad and the meat on top. I love merging like that.”

That pasta-salad-meat dish sounds pretty gross. I realize all of it’s going to the same place, but I just have this image of a steak on top of a Caesar salad, on top of pasta with marinara. Can Matthew even taste the individual flavors when he does his food like that? I find myself respecting Camila Alves more and more - she seems to put up with a lot, stuff that would drive other women (me) insane.

Queen Latifah always seemed like the type of woman who has a good head on her shoulders. There’s just something about her energy I really liked. Unfortunately I might have been off – it seems the Queen has some financial issues. Specifically in terms of paying her employees their salaries. According to two lawsuits that have been filed, Latifah owes her stylist $300,000 and her cosmetologist $700,000 in back pay.
The people who kept Queen Latifah pretty are making some ugly accusations about the CoverGirl spokeswoman. Cosmetologist Roxanna Floyd and stylist Susan Moses say they’ve been stiffed out of $1 million for their work on Queen Latifah’s CoverGirl ad campaign, as well as the star’s “Curvations” line of intimate apparel.
The Brooklyn women filed separate breach of contract suits yesterday in Manhattan Federal Court against the “Bringing Down the House” star, whose real name is Dana Owens. Moses says Latifah promised her a $50,000-a-year salary when she went to work on the Curvations line in 2005, and is due $300,000.
“Despite such demands and assurances as well as expressions of remorse for having stiffed plaintiff … defendants have completely failed to pay plaintiff for her services and …. expenses relating to Curvations,” Moses’ lawyer Carmen Giordano wrote.
Latifah spokeswoman Amanda Silverman called the suits “without merit,” but declined to discuss them further.
Floyd, known as Roxie, has used her powder puff to touch up the likes of Angela Bassett, Whitney Houston and Mary J. Blige. She says she’s owed $700,000. Until last year, she was a consultant for the CoverGirl line of cosmetic products known as the “Queen Collection,” the suit says.

This case actually seems relatively straight-forward to me. If Queen Latifah did in fact pay her employees, she’d have records of that. If the claims are “without merit,” show the records and it’ll all be dismissed. Easy, right? I suppose the only defense the Queen can take is that the women never worked for her. Though presumably both Roxanna Floyd and Susan Moses have some sort of evidence of work product.
Somehow I’m disappointed in Queen Latifah. I know we haven’t heard her side of things, but it seems unlikely that two employees would both file lawsuits saying they didn’t get paid when they did. I know she’s a busy woman, but that’s a lot of money to a non-celeb, and they deserve to get paid.
Here’s Queen Latifah (performing with ‘Yoyo’ Yolanda Whitaker) at her birthday Party at SIR in Los Angeles on Saturday. Images thanks to WENN .
She may be smiling on the outside, but on the inside, Jennifer Aniston was wishing that a turkey baster would help produce her some offspring. Jennifer Aniston has been working her acting magic on the set of The Baster in New York yesterday, but sources have said Jen has been as quiet as a mouse.
A spy said, “In the morning, the cast and crew had to wait to start filming without Jen because she asked for extra time to finish blow-drying her hair. Jen refused to walk even a step outside the restaurant during the break for lunch. She had her car pull up right next to the restaurant so she could be driven less than a block to her trailer to avoid photographers.”
Perhaps Jen was hoping that this very movie could make her dreams of becoming a mother come true? Hide all basters on set! Do not be surprised if Jen becomes pregnant after shooting this flick. Put on those baby bump watch goggles now, bitches!

L.A.-based pop artist Sham Ibrahim created this Andy Warhol-like portrait of Rihanna. His inspiration? The bloodied, battered and bruised police photo that was snapped just after Rihanna was beat down by Chris Brown. Odd? Very, but not according to Sham.
Sham (wow) told a source that he “thought the bruises in the police photo were interesting shapes to draw. And it was cool to color them pink and blue. Those are two of my favorite colors.”
Sham adds, “There is no message to any of my art. It’s meant to look cool hanging on your wall and that’s it! I’m not into deep meanings.”
Umm, alrighty then. Sham…WOW!

A fabulous reader showed me these photos of the legendary Tina Turner and I had to observe them carefully. I even had to break out my classic magnifying glass with the powerful 5X magnification power. Confusion had me stumped as I wasn’t quite sure if this was another molding completed by Madame Tussauds or if this was the real deal…the real live version of Tina Turner. And, after examination, I came to the conclusion that yes, this is really Tina Turner shaking her hips and tossing her body around like a fierce rag doll.
Talk about one well-preserved diva! Home girl is still singing, still dancing and still has a fabulous plastic surgeon.

During a romantic trip to Mexico with J. Love Twitt, Jamie Kennedy was struck with agonizing abdominal pains. Well, it turns out, his pain wasn’t life threatening and he wasn’t sick from looking at J. Love’s elephant ears. Home boy was struck with kidney stones. Ouch!
According to People.com, J.Love Twitt and Jamie Kennedy returned home from their trip last Wednesday and headed straight to the hospital!
A source says, “He (Kennedy) felt better later in the day and went home, but on Thursday he started hurting again and he went back to the hospital.”
Well, thank gawd he didn’t get a case of the hershey squirts! That would have been disastrous and serious. Good to know he is on the mend.
The source adds, “He’s just home and feeling better.”
Phew.

MTV isn’t quite ready to throw the “Real World” drama out the window. It was just announced today that the 17-year-old “reality” show has been ordered up for another FOUR seasons, with the next season already slotted to take place in Cancun. Ummm, WHY Cancun? Now THAT should be interesting. Will cast members be bartenders on the beach? Hmmm…
MTV programming president Tony DiSanto told a source, “MTV is proud to continue our relationship with Bunim-Murray that stretches back over 15 years. With each new season, the ‘Real World’ franchise continues to evolve and captivate our ever-changing audience.” See, not everyone will be out of a job for the next few years!
For all you “Real World” fanatics, this is fantabulous news.
Take note: the season finale of “The Real World: Brooklyn” will air on Wednesday.
