Here’s Jessica Alba in a bikini over Memorial Day weekend and since the paparazzi apparently took one shot of her ass then called it quits – You really can’t fault that logic. – I added four other bikini-clad women… …read full story

Before getting into the deluge of news/bikini pics from the weekend, it wouldn’t be right not to take a moment for Dennis Hopper who died Saturday at age 74 from cancer. I can’t honestly say I was a rabid… …read full story

Believe it or not, I’ve had a few moments here and there where I’ve actually listened to something Bombshell McGee has said, and I wasn’t filled with rage or nausea. Granted, she’s an idiot, she’s crude, she’s an a–hole. But out of all the players in the little Jesse James-Sandra Bullock-Bombshell drama, Bombshell isn’t my absolute least favorite. I save that position for Jesse James – he was the one who screwed around on Sandra Bullock with a woman like Bombshell. That alone speaks volumes about his lack of character, his stupidity, his douchiness. I’m not saying Bombshell is some wronged woman or anything (like she thinks she is), I’m just saying that I think the rage should start with Jesse, and Bombshell should get the ricochet rage. That was actually one of my issues with what Tina Fey said in her “special comment” on Saturday Night Live right after the scandal broke – it seemed like Fey was giving the okay for women to dump all over Bombshell, when I felt Jesse should get the brunt of it.

I might need to stop holding back, though. Because this woman… Jesus, she’s powerfully stupid. There’s sweet-stupid, like Jessica Simpson, and then there’s nasty-stupid, like Paris Hilton, and now, Bombshell. Bombshell was in Canada yesterday, and she did an appearance on etalk, where she was interviewed by Elaine Lui (known also as Lainey from LaineyGossip). The conversation came around to those photos of Bombshell in Nazi regalia, and whether that stuff is considered racist. Bombshell’s verdict? Nope, Nazi stuff isn’t racist because it’s anti-Semitic, and anti-Semitism isn’t racism. Ugh.

Michelle “Bombshell” McGee still knows how to shock. During a Sunday appearance on Toronto TV program etalk, Jesse James’ famous mistress defended recently unearthed photos of herself wearing Nazi regalia:

McGee: “I guess one could view it that way. I don’t believe it’s racism at all.”
Lainey: “You don’t believe wearing a Nazi costume indicates racism?”
McGee: “No not racism. Anti-Semitism? Yes. If that was the intention of putting the costume on.”
Lainey: “Anti-Semitism is prejudice against Jews, which is actually racism.”
McGee: “Oh OK, well that’s your view on that. I don’t see it that way.”

In a photo first revealed by Us Weekly, Jesse James was also caught wearing an SS officer hat, pantomiming Hitler’s moustache and performing a sieg heil salute.

James, 41, said in an interview last week that it “makes me really sad” to be called a racist. Of the photos, he said, “Looking at it in the context of now and in my life, it’s not funny… There’s not a racist bone in my body.”

McGee also opened up about Sandra Bullock, who has since filed for divorce from James and stepped out with newly adopted son Louis. “In a twisted type of way,” McGee opines, “I guess Sandra should be thankful that I did come forward and let her know that her husband did cheat on her.”

The controversial tattooed model and stripper was in town to shoot a commercial for Ashley Madison, an online dating service for those already in relationships.

“I have two beautiful boys to take care of, I’m a single mom,” she said of making money from the pro-adultery website. “So yeah, I have profited off of this.”

She explained, “it’s also my first priority is to take care of my kids, to make sure they have a roof over their heads and food….I will do what it takes to support my children.”

“I guess Sandra should be thankful that I did come forward…” Dumb a–hole. Yes, I’m sure Sandra Bullock is shopping for that very special “Thank You For Boning My Idiot Husband, You Nasty Neo-Nazi Skank” Hallmark card. What else? Oh, the adultery website. Honestly, that’s probably the most legitimate thing she’s got going on. According to TMZ, the commercial shoot was “at a strip club — appropriate since, we’re told, the infidelity poster child will be getting nekkid for some of the spots. Here’s the kicker — Bombshell will make about $500/hour for the shoot, but sources tell us she’ll take home a percentage of any new traffic she brings in for the site.” Considering this is the first time I’ve ever heard of Ashley Madison, they probably are getting their money’s worth. Although – can Bombshell’s association really be good for business in the long run? Ugh.

Right now I’m in a two week lull between when the shows I watch have ended and when True Blood starts. (Although Breaking Bad is still on AMC, which I love, and I’m keeping up with Glee but am not as attached to it.) I’ve been considering watching Jillian Michaels’ new show, Losing it With Jillian, which premieres tomorrow. I’ll probably watch at least the first episode, especially now that I’ve read this interview that tough trainer Michaels did with Popeater.

Michaels is best known as the trash-talking trainer on The Biggest Loser, and in this new show she’ll be visiting overweight families at their homes to help them clean up their lives, diets and health. In the past she’s been outspoken about the fact that she doesn’t agree with all the tactics used on Biggest Loser, specifically the competitions that may put the obese contestants at risk. In this new interview she directly contrasts the methods used on her show with The Biggest Loser’s game show competition, and says that she’s unhappy with both the trials on Biggest Loser and the way it’s edited to focus on the challenges instead of the emotional journeys that the contestants go through. While she is careful to praise the show that helped her gain worldwide recognition, she also doesn’t mince words when it comes to criticizing it. Michaels kind of directly pits her new show against Biggest Loser, saying “we’re about to find out” whether the games in Biggest Loser are necessary for weight loss.

You have a new show, ‘Losing It With Jillian,’ that premieres on June 1. What is it about?
I am criss-crossing the country, moving in with different American families. It’s more about re-claiming your life — it’s not really a weight loss show. The idea is that when you’re unhappy, you become unhealthy in various aspects of your life. So whether it’s your relationships that are suffering, your physical health is suffering, whatever it might be, we kind of get in there and try to figure out what’s wrong and give them the tools to push the reboot button. By doing that, we’re coming back in two months and we’re checking to see how their lives have improved. How are they doing at work? How are they doing personally? How are they doing physically, with regard to their health. It’s really a life overhaul. That’s really what it’s about. It’s a life makeover.

How long are you with each family?
I’m with each family for a week. Then what we do is we have a system in place where we’re checking in with them every day. We’re making sure that they have a support system. If they’ve decided that they want to pursue counseling for something, we’re facilitating that for them. We have an MD, a registered dietician, myself, a therapist and what have you who are all constantly monitoring and looking after the family to make sure that they are supported.

It’s different from the ‘Biggest Loser.’
It’s very different. In fact, there’s really no common thread, other than me. ‘The Biggest Loser’ is a game show, and that’s great, but this is not. This is a very intimate, personal situation. I’m moving in to people’s homes. I’m going to work with them. I’m living in their daily lives, experiencing their unhealthy habits. It’s tough. It’s been confrontational and intense … But I feel like we’re on track. It’s definitely a process and there is a gigantic learning curve for me because I don’t have months or weeks. I don’t have people that aren’t working or an unlimited amount of money to buy them organic groceries. It’s been a real challenge.

It sounds like this experience had an effect on you.
I don’t remember the last time I’ve been challenged, or been so outside of my comfort zone. I’m living with strangers who, half of the time at least, hate me. In the beginning, it’s like declarations of hatred and then I need to sleep in the house. It’s a nightmare. I just lie in that bed and think, “I’ve got to sleep with one eye open because one of these people is going to kill me in the middle of the night.” I think the format is really stressful because I don’t have the tools that I’ve been luxuriated with previously. The country is struggling, people are really struggling financially. They are working two and three jobs. They are single parents supporting several kids. I mean, this is real life. To be honest, I’ve been fairly sheltered. I grew up in California, my parents were mid-level, you know, they were fine … [This show is] really waking me up. I will say that I’ve never been more patriotic, though. It’s kind of amazing when you travel the country and meet various families from around the [U.S.] and you really get invested in the idea of being American, which I don’t think I ever really realized until now.

What’s been your favorite part of filming this show?
When it’s good, it’s real good. When I know it’s working and when I feel that synergy click into place, I know it’s earth shattering. I know it’s absolutely going to change their lives. And not like, “Oh, they lost the weight.” ‘Biggest Loser’ is tough, because although we have the chance to dig deeper with them, that’s not what the show is about. They don’t really air it, they don’t really show it. It’s like, “We needed to have enough time to show the temptation and the challenge.” And I’m like, “We talked about … life changing s***!” It just gets all cut out. So I would say my favorite part about ['Losing It'], this is what it’s all about. This is getting to the root of the problem. In my opinion, we’re dealing with the heart of passion, wish-fulfillment, dream-realization. And we’re not just going in there and giving it to them. They are earning it. To me, it’s what life is meant to be about. It’s about cultivating passion.

With ‘The Biggest Loser,’ which you said yourself is a game show, is it hard from your point of view to watch all the game-playing tactics?
Oh, I hate it. I hate every second of it. ‘Biggest Loser’ and I have a love-hate thing. I love what it does for the contestants, I hate the process. It’s not my show. I’ve been extremely fortunate to have the platform. Without it, I would not be able to do any of the things I’m doing. I don’t want to seem ungrateful. But if you’re asking me, everything in life is gray. There are things that you are going to love and things you are not going to love. With ‘Biggest Loser,’ there are things I don’t love. But it’s not my show, and at the end of the day, they all lose weight and they all get healthy. I think it’s inspiring millions of people around the world. But do I wish that it wasn’t a game show? Of course I do. I don’t want to shoot myself in the foot, because according to our producers, they tend to think that makes it more compelling. And maybe they are right. But I’ll tell you this, we’re about to find out because there is none of that in ‘Losing It.’

[From Popeater]

Just like there are different diets and exercise programs that work, there are also different approaches to weight loss and personal change that work! It’s short sighted to say “there is no common thread” between Biggest Loser and Losing It. Both groups of people change their lives and lose weight. Biggest Loser inspires countless people to lose weight and become healthier. Can’t Michaels realize that it doesn’t have to be one approach or their other? Plus she might not just be offending her employer, she’s potentially offending fans of Biggest Loser.

It’s great that she has her own show and that it’s more touchy feely. I’m interested to watch it just to see how her personality meshes with the people she’s trying to help. On the other hand she doesn’t have to be so damn arrogant about it when the show hasn’t even aired yet. Even if her approach helps people lose weight, we still have yet to see if it will bring in the summer ratings for NBC.

On Friday before this holiday weekend (in the US it’s Memorial Day today), we heard that Heidi Montag was sort-of separating with her husband of just over a year, Spencer Pratt. Heidi’s rep told TMZ “Heidi is looking to move out due to all the fake bad press that Spencer controls. She’s tired of it and is looking for a place and wants to focus on her acting career.”

Many of you wondered if this was for real or just a publicity stunt. This couple’s entire marital history, appearance, and personal drama seem timed to maximize tabloid headlines so it’s hard to tell if anything about them is genuine. The truth may be somewhere in between, with Heidi “separating” from Spencer so she can move in with a girlfriend to a beach house as they film their own reality show. Heidi’s co-star and friend, a woman named Jennifer Bunney who was also on The Hills, told US Weekly the show will focus on “our friendship, getting through things with each other like marriage stuff and boyfriend stuff.”

I guess this is good news. If Spencer would have stayed sane and been on board with impregnating Heidi as she was scheming, then we would have been treated to a reality show chronicling her every craving and hormone change. Instead she’s moving out and we will just be annoyed by them separately instead of as a perma-grin reality power couple.

As for all those stories about how Spencer was brainwashing Heidi and limiting her access to television, the Internet, and friends, that seemed to be at least somewhat true. Spencer even bragged about his influence over Heidi in an episode of The Hills while Heidi talked about the magical properties of the healing crystals they’ve sunk nearly 1/2 a million dollars into. As I wrote a couple of weeks ago “These two are crazy like foxes, but that doesn’t mean they’re not crazy, just that they use it to their advantage.”

Someone confirmed to TMZ that Spencer was just as controlling and off his rocker as the tabloids reported, and that Heidi is leaving “mainly because Spencer Pratt has taken away her friends and family. We’re told she has been complaining bitterly that Spencer is so controlling he isolated her from all her friends.” By leaving to start her own reality show with a friend, is Heidi serving as a kind of warped reality show example of how to get out of an emotionally abusive relationship? I’m incredulous of anything this two do, but am also happy for Heidi that she’s getting out and has her own “career.” As much as we ridicule them, this was an incredibly unhealthy relationship that showed the classic signs of emotional abuse.

Oh I just wanted to mention that Radar Online ran a story about this over the weekend using an older photo of Heidi in a bikini. At first I saw it and thought “Oh wow, she looks so pretty, I’m so glad she gained a little weight.” Then I realized that it was an old photo taken before she had those 10 completely unnecessary plastic surgery procedures. She’ll never look like that again.

Ugh… Page Six has a somewhat interesting story about Lindsay Lohan’s big comeback film role as Linda Lovelace in Inferno. Allegedly, Inferno does has financing, although I can’t imagine Lindsay will have an easy time getting insured, so in my mind, there’s still a question mark as to whether this film will even be made. And now that Page Six has revealed some details from the script, I have to wonder why anyone wants to touch this story:

Lindsay Lohan will be thoroughly degraded as “Deep Throat” porn star Linda Lovelace in the controversial upcoming movie “Inferno,” according to Aerik Von, an employee of fetish Web site deadlydommes.com who claims to have read the screenplay.

Calling it akin to a “Lifetime horror film,” Von told The Post’s Mandy Stadtmiller that Lovelace’s former husband, the legendarily brutal Chuck Traynor, is depicted as psychologically and physically torturing Lohan’s character.

Lohan, who’s now wearing an alcohol-monitoring anklet as ordered by the California judge overseeing her probation on a drunken-driving conviction, might not be able to star in the movie, which was slated to shoot in Texas — she has to stay in California for random drug-testing. But some of the sexual acts in the film, written and directed by Matthew Wilder, are so rough, it’s hard to imagine the movie making it to theaters in its current form no matter who plays Lovelace, Von said.

“Traynor kicks her to a pulp,” Von says. “She’s made to say terrible things about herself while in the middle of sex acts. After her boyfriend assaults her, he kisses her bruises and asks, ‘Does this feel good?’ ” Von added, “It’s very sensational. There are not so much plot devices as shock tactics.”

Before Traynor turns Lovelace into a hooker, he forces her into a gang-rape scenario with several businessmen — one of whom hums a tune from “Mary Poppins” while fondling her breast.

Von says, “The movie’s obviously designed to just outright disturb [with] the combination of childhood imagery and absolute outright depraved perversions.”

Wilder didn’t get back to us.

[From Page Six]

You couldn’t pay me to watch that movie. And it sounds just like a porno too – and not even a half-decent porn, just a sadism-fetish one with really bad acting, starring a crackhead. This is what happens when “shocking” is replaced with “story.

In other Lohan news, she and Sam Ronson are speaking again. Radar says that Sam came and visited Lindsay’s apartment, and there are even photographs – not of Sam and Lindsay together, just of Sam. One last piece of news: Lindsay has a new friend! Lady Victoria Harvey, who I guess is famous in England. I have no idea who she is.

The ladies of Sex and The City 2 were on The View on Friday and I finally had a chance to watch it. There’s still all this hype around the movie, with audience members holding signs and Elisabeth Hasselbeck declaring “the girls’ night out is reborn!” Given all I’ve heard about it, I would rather sit home and watch whatever happens to be on television while getting my fashion fix online.

Sarah Jessica Parker was inevitably asked on The View about her twin girls, Marion and Tabitha, who were born via surrogate about 11 months ago. She talked about how much she loves them and how her son, James Wilke, helps her out with them. She didn’t mention the fact that she has plenty of professional help and she didn’t talk about her husband, Matthew Broderick.

Cynthia Nixon discussed her engagement, to same sex partner Christine Marinoni. She said that they can’t yet marry in New York and that their friends have plenty of suggestions for destination weddings to where same sex marriage is legal. Cynthia said that they were going to try and wait until same sex marriage was legal in their state. “We’re going to try and stick it out in New York and… fight the good fight, but we’re not going to wait forever.” She said something similar to People Magazine, and explained that she’s not spending much time planning out the details and was more concerned with her basic right to marry. New York recognizes same sex marriages from other states.

On The View, Nixon clarified the hilarious quote she told The Advocate that Christine “was like a short man with boobs.” It was about Christine’s fashion, she explained:

“It is a funny and cute quote… I was actually speaking about Christine’s love of clothes, but how difficult it is for her to find suits that she fits into… She wears men’s suits and she’s a little short for a guy. It’s a challenge.”

The girls then all chimed in about where Cynthia and Christine should get married and how they were all looking forward to a trip.

Kim Cattrall ruled out ever married again after having been married three times. She said “I like being single… I’m very much in a work mode. If I was in a relationship it wouldn’t be a happy one, because I wouldn’t be there.” Kim then said “I wish I had a relationship like we [the SATC women] have. We’ve been together 14 years.”

In earlier interviews Kim said that she would be open to doing yet another sequel, but creator Michael Patrick King and star Sarah Jessica Parker separately said that decision wasn’t made yet. The box office will determine whether they’re drive this series even further into the ground. The numbers are in and they’re not as good as the first film, but not bad overall. Over the weekend Sex and The City 2 was second to Shrek 4, in its second week, but above Prince of Persia, which also premiered this weekend. SATC 2 took in $32.1 million its opening weekend, which was below the opening weekend of the first SATC at $56.8 million.

Yesterday, the NYDN had an interesting story about Elizabeth Edwards making preparations for her death – apparently, she’s not doing very well, and she’s begun to think about who will raise her two youngest children, Emma (12) and Jack (10). Of course, the obvious choice would be Emma and Jack’s father, John Edwards. But Elizabeth doesn’t want to take the chance that Rielle Hunter will be anywhere near her kids, and Elizabeth thinks there’s a good chance John will marry Rielle when Elizabeth dies. So Elizabeth’s ideal solution is to try to leave Emma and Jack in the care of the Edwards’ oldest daughter, Cate. Cate is 28 years old now, and living in Washington, D.C. Of course, most custody experts think that whatever plans Elizabeth is making to attempt to give custody to anyone other than John is for naught.

Elizabeth Edwards is said to be determined not to let her husband’s mistress become her children’s stepmom. Insiders tell us that John Edwards’ estranged wife is investigating how – should she lose her battle with cancer – she can keep daughter Emma, 12, and son Jack, 10, away from Rielle Hunter, the woman who broke up her marriage.

“She doesn’t want Rielle anywhere near them,” says a source.

Friends say Elizabeth is exploring the option of having her 28-year-old daughter, Cate, raise them.

“She’s a smart and competent woman,” says a source, noting that, having graduated from Harvard Law School, Cate has been clerking in federal court in Alexandria, Va. She owns a Georgetown row house and has been in a longterm relationship with a resident at Georgetown University Hospital.

Hard as it is to face the worst-case scenario, Elizabeth “has been grooming Cate to take over,” says a source.

Another source says Elizabeth has been forced to confront the question of guardianship because her health has “taken a turn for the worse lately.”

Her sister, Nancy Anania Sims, disputes that she’s suffered a setback.

“She is in treatment,” Sims tells us. “But she’s doing well. She’s from strong Italian stock. She has more energy than I do.”

Sims also doesn’t believe John Edwards will marry Hunter, with whom he has a 2-year-old daughter, Quinn. even though he’s now legally separated from Elizabeth.

Hunter has said that she and Edwards used to dream about what wedding they’d have after Elizabeth was gone. But, at this point, Sims says, “I find it impossible to believe [they'll marry]. That would surprise me.”

Sims doesn’t “think” Elizabeth has discussed Cate becoming her siblings’ guardian. But she corroborated that Elizabeth may be hoping to deprive her husband of custody.

“There are a lot of family members who are willing and able [to look after Jack and Emma],” says Sims, who might be one of them. “They’ll be well taken care of.”

John Edwards’ lawyer, Wade Smith, didn’t immediately return a phone call. But some attorneys who’ve been watching the Edwards drama believe that Elizabeth stands little chance of choosing Jack and Emma’s guardian.

“That’s ridiculous,” says New York attorney Peter Bronstein, whose star clients have included Guy Ritchie and Julian Schnabel. “The father would have the paramount right to succeed to the custody of his natural children.

“It would be very sad if Elizabeth Edwards isn’t around to see her children to adulthood. But she can’t rule from the grave and dictate whether they see their father and his girlfriend.”

The exception would be if the father was proven to be unfit – say, for instance, if Edwards were to go to jail. (A grand jury in North Carolina has been considering whether he illegally used campaign funds to cover up his affair with Hunter.)

“If a father was shown to be guilty of moral turpitude, he might lose custody,” Bronstein allows. Would that include adultery?

“No,” says Bronstein. “If that were true, half the parents in America would lose their children.”

[From The NY Daily News]

Elizabeth surely has good reason to detest Rielle, and judging from Rielle’s interview on Oprah, the bitch is crazy. I wouldn’t want my phantom, imaginary children anywhere near Rielle. Hell, I wouldn’t want my dog anywhere near Rielle. She’s bunny-boiling crazy. And it’s sad to think that Elizabeth’s dying wish is to ensure that her youngest children have nothing to do with Rielle, and that that wish probably won’t come true. Because I do see John marrying or living with Rielle after Elizabeth dies – and I think he’ll want Rielle to help him raise Emma and Jack. Ugh. Maybe Cate is the best option.

Here are some okay-quality scans for Cameron Diaz’s appearance as the cover girl for Vogue UK. I’m not in love with the cover shot or the photo shoot – I think Camy looks airbrushed into oblivion, but that’s probably because I know Camy’s skin looks nothing like that. Don’t get me wrong, I think she’s a pretty girl – but on red carpets and in candid photos, you can tell she has skin problems, and it does irritate me that they airbrush her face to look flawless every time. The interview isn’t online yet, but I’ve pulled a few quotes from the scans that I thought were interesting:

Cameron on aging naturally: “Yeah, well, hey, I’m not doing anything right now. But we’ll see. So far, so good. But I’ll never say never to anything.”

On her role in ‘Bad Teacher’: “The women I play, I usually like to take care of them… make sure they are moral people, even if they’re not doing their best. But this one? I don’t feel any responsibility for her. She doesn’t give a sh-t about anyone by herself. I’m sure we’ll offend everyone with it, which is great – because if you offend everyone, you don’t have to apologize to anyone, right?”

On working with Justin Timberlake on ‘Bad Teacher’: “He plays the substitute teacher I, er, set my sights on.”

Is she in love right now? “Oh, y’know… these are questions I can either play yes or no, and you know what? Yes, I am, I’m in love with life.”

On her father’s death in 2008: “There was this period of terrible numbness, and it’s impossible for anyone to know what it’s like until it happens to you… No one can ever underestimate how devastating it is. But at the same time, what I’ve learnt about losing someone so close is that my life is full of his presence. I‘m not kidding, I really am in love with life at the moment.”

On being child-free: “Look, here’s what it is. You know how you have those moments of feeling dissatisfied and you think, ‘What would make my life better?’ Well, I’ve yet to go, ‘Aha, that’s it: a child!’ I’m not saying I don’t want them, but right now I see how torn up parents get when they’re away from their kids, how guilty they feel, and I don’t want that! I don’t want to feel like I ought to be missing someone, I don’t want to not do a film at a moment’s notice…But don’t get me wrong, I’m 100 percent committed when I commit to somebody or something. I’m a full-on nurturer – that’s all I do.”

On aging: “You’ve got to be realistic. I mean, I don’t want to look 25 again. I might as well enjoy it while I’ve still got something.”

On how she stays in shape: “No… fountain of youth… I guess it’s just exercise, healthy diet, lots of water, lots of laughter, lots of sex – yes, sex, we need that as human beings. It’s healthy it’s natural, it’s what we are here to do! I’m 37, I don’t need to go out and party anymore. Those years are over for me. There are nights, sure, when you order more bottles of wine than you realize and then the bill comes and you go whoa! But I don’t like waking up feeling gross. I don’t like to lose my day.”

I generally like Cameron in print interviews, she comes across pretty well. Like she’s a lot smarter than her ditzy persona, and she’s professional and focused too. Is she really as much fun as the interviewer seems to think she is? Eh. Personally, I find all of that “live in the moment” and “I have to be having fun all the time” stuff tedious. It’s easy to “live in the moment” when you’ve got millions of dollars and few obligations. To her credit, though, Cameron isn’t putting herself out there as the Everywoman. She seems to know she’s got a blessed life, and that her enjoyment comes out of being a shrewd businesswoman.

I’m sorry I missed these quotes when I was doing that post about Kristen Stewart’s Elle UK cover story. In the interview, apparently Kristen was predictably insolent, per usual. Instead of being gracious about the fame, money and opportunities the Twilight franchise has offered her, Kristen decided to compare the attention to being raped. For real. Then, in nearly the same breath, she complains about being quoted correctly when she says something idiotic – you know, like she just did when she compared photographers to rapists.

“It’s so…The photos are so…I feel like I’m looking at someone being raped. A lot of the time I can’t handle it. I never expected that this would be my life.”

“What you don’t see are the cameras shoved in my face and the bizarre intrusive questions being asked, or the people falling over themselves, screaming and taunting to get a reaction…All you see is an actor or a celebrity lit up but a flash.”

“Your little persona is made up of all the places that people have seen you and what has been said about you. And usually the places that I am are so overwhelming in the moment and fleeting for me—like one second where I’ve said something stupid, that’s me, forever.”

[From Kristen Stewart's Elle UK interview via Ace Showbiz]

Look, I’m not naïve, I know there are some skuzzy, nasty paparazzi out there, and I know Kristen and Robert Pattinson have probably put up with a lot of sh-t from people who just want a piece of them – whether it’s the fans, the photographers or people just look for some connection or some way to make some money. And you know what? That sucks. They have every right to say it sucks. But to compare it to being raped? Give me a break, Kristen.
