Laurence Fishburne’s 19-year-old daughter Montana (above) apparently made a sex tape/porno because Kim Kardashian has shown everyone that’s how you get famous. Except I’m not being sarcastic that’s literally almost the exact words out of Montana’s mouth. TMZ reports:
“I’ve watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due Read More …

Oksana Grigorieva just gave an “exclusive” new interview to Radar – video is here. It’s not like she sat down and told her side of the story – Radar’s camera guy and their “senior executive editor” managed to speak to her as she was trying to get into her car. However – I do have to admit, even though it looks like Oksana just got blind-sided by Radar, I’m pretty sure she arranged this “interview”. There are no other photographers around, Oksana is completely on message… it just seems planned. Not that I blame her or anything, I’m just pointing out her PR savvy. Here’s what she said to Radar:

Oksana Grigorieva has broken her silence on the Mel Gibson scandal — saying the star is “trivializing domestic violence” by claiming she tried to extort him — in a video interview with RadarOnline.com.

“I think Mel, basically, is trivializing domestic violence,” she told RadarOnline.com’s Senior Executive Editor Dylan Howard. “This is very, very sad and it is very unfair too. It is unfair that by standing up to somebody — and speaking out — I am being victimized all over again. He has hurt so many people I feel like I am being victimized all over again.”

When asked if she tried to extort money from Mel, she told RadarOnline.com: “No, I have never tried to extort anything from him. There is no proof of anything. It is all false information he is feeding the press. It is a smear campaign, clearly, to me.”

When pressed further, Oksana said, “I am absolutely convinced of that… It is very unfair.”

She pleaded with Gibson: “Speak the truth, tell the truth, for the sake of your daughter.”

She would not answer if she wanted daughted Lucia to remain in Mel’s custody, even after the actor claimed he appointed an independent observer to watch their visits. Oksana hinted it wasn’t Mel’s decision, as his camp has claimed.

“He is not being truthful about it either,” she said. “I cannot talk about that because that is a court order and I don’t know why he is talking about that.”

Asked why she made the infamous audio tapes where Mel is heard threatening her in a crazed rage, Oksana said: “Because I didn’t think I was going to make it through the night. Everything, by the way, this is really important, all the tapes that you hear on the Internet, all of them were recorded that one night. The tapes, as you call them, the voicemails, everything was recorded that night because I was in fear for my life. I really did not think I was going to make it.”

Oksana told RadarOnline.com that her 12-year-old son Sascha “is good” through the ordeal. And she had kind words for Sascha’s father, former James Bond star Timothy Dalton.

“He is a great dad,” Oksana told RadarOnline.com. “They’re good together. He is a good support for his son and he has been a good support to me.”

Well played, Oksana. Seriously, she hit just the right notes. Do it for the sake of your daughter, the reminder that Mel could have killed her if he got angry enough, the siren call to sympathetic women who are disgusted by Mel Gibson. Also – Oksana’s team just got this article into People Magazine. It’s a behind-the-scenes explanation of the placenta-planting day, for the “official” record of celebrity gossip. It’s interesting that People is now skewing some pro-Oksana stories… like People Mag doesn’t even give a sh-t about kissing Mel Gibson’s ass anymore.

By popular demand, I present to you this week’s Hot Guy Friday! Actually, I think it was just two commenters who were begging for this, but you girls (and a few dudes?) seem to enjoy it, so let’s get started, shall we? Unfortunately, this week wasn’t amazing for random hot men being spotted by photographers, so I’m probably going to add some vintage glimpses at some of our favorite dudes. Above is my lover Liam Neeson. He and the A-Team crew have been working their asses off this week promoting the film in Europe. I’ve been so focused on Jessica Biel’s horrendous fashion statements that I kind of missed all of the lovely Liam photos. I love Liam and his jaunty little toothpick. God, I just adore this man!

Speaking of The A-Team, have we ever talked about Sharlto Copley and what a cutie he is? He really is rather gorgeous and rugged. Rampage Jackson is here too – if you like your man really big:

Mark Wahlberg got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week, and he looked really fine. Does Mark do it for you? He does it for me, big time. But only in dramatic roles.

Here’s Jeremy Renner being a cutie at Comic-Con last week:

Ralph Fiennes looks like a serial killer with his head shaved (at an A-Team premiere this week), but I would still do nasty things to him. “I love hedgehogs.”

I know, I know. I have an Ed Westwick problem. Especially when he’s wearing a ladies’ low-cut blouse. But damn, I would love to lick that chest fur.

And it was like Penn Badgley got Westwick’s Fur Memo and decided he was going to go low-cut too! I’ll admit, this is the most attractive I’ve ever found Penn. I have really problems with smarmy men.

A little Joseph Gordon Levitt, by request!

I think Ryan Phillippe has a douche face, but I know some ladies think he’s a cutie. He doesn’t look too smarmy here:

Was Tom Selleck’s mustache always this thick? Or is it just getting hot in here?

LL Cool J has one of the nicest smiles in Hollywood, I swear. He smiles and it’s like he’s hugging you. He and Chris O’Donnell were doing some promotional stuff for NCIS: LA. Chris is looking adorable too:

Oliver Hudson (Kate’s brother, son of Goldie Hawn) is giving me a little Joseph Fiennes vibe here. And I like it.

Russell Brand and the turquoise panties, because I can’t get enough.

Jonny Lee Miller at some event in England this week. I still get hot for him too. I love him!

Ewan McGregor was in NYC this week, looking… GAH. He’s so PRETTY!!!!

I would go to bed with Tracy Morgan, just because I know he would make me laugh my ass off. Look at him!

Vintage Eric Bana, just because there are never new photos of him and I can’t wait:

Vintage Jon Hamm, because I’m still thinking about that hooker slapping him…

And I totally agree that we should end every Hot Guy Friday on Clive Owen. Just because… RAWR. It should be against the law, you know?

I don’t even know where to start with the mess that is Tara Reid. I Googled her to see if I could find some interesting stories to put with these catastrophic photos, and honestly, this girl has been getting into trouble all over the place. Just a glance through the headlines: Tara Reid is out of control, Tara Reid parties with Ex-Fiancé, Tara Reid can’t even walk to her car after a night of partying, Tara Reid is pissed on a yacht, dances with Buzz Aldrin, What Happened to Rehab, Tara Reid? Etc.

So basically, Tara is back to being a drunken wreck. Old-School Taradise! It’s kind of sad because she did seem to be trying to get her act together there for a little while – she posed for Playboy last year and she sounded relatively sober and like she’d learned from her previous party-hardy mistakes. Guess she fell off the wagon! Meanwhile, I’m just trying to figure out if she’s back together with her former fiancé Michael Axtmann. That’s him in some of the photos. Eh.

Oh, and Tara wasn’t wearing any panties? I guess that’s what this photo proves, although I’m not sure what I’m really looking at. Whatever it is, it seems gnarly!

Your move, Paris Hilton.

Holy crap, she really did party with Buzz Aldrin!!! What the hell? Look at his shirt!!!

Below is Entertainment Tonight’s exclusive interview with Julia Robert for the beginning of her Eat, Pray, Love promotional tour. That comes out two weeks from now, which is interesting – August is looking like it’s going to be girl-movie central up in this joint, what with both Julia and Jennifer Aniston promoting their romantic-journey films (one has a journey around the world, the other has a journey to the baster). In the interview, Julia talks about eating (of course) and her babies (“very present creatures”) and Eat, Pray, Love’s executive producer, Brad Pitt, about whom she says, “I was really beholden to him…” Interesting.

ET’s own Mark Steines enjoys the beautiful Napa Valley scenery with ‘Eat Pray Love’ star Julia Roberts, who talks travel with her kids and the feeling of carrying a movie for the first time in a decade!

“I never really hitched my wagon to something of this magnitude — it’s either gonna sing or we’re all gonna die in a fiery burst of flames,” jokes Julia.

In theaters August 13, ‘Eat Pray Love’ finds Julia as Liz Gilbert, a modern woman who, despite having a dream husband, home and career, finds herself lost in life. Determined to wipe the slate clean and get a fresh start, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery that takes her around the globe to exotic locales ranging from Italy and India to Bali. The film is based upon the bestselling memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert. Directed by Ryan Murphy, the co-creator of “Glee,” the film also stars Javier Bardem, Billy Crudup, Richard Jenkins and James Franco.

“I think time will tell what the children think about it,” says Julia of taking twins Hazel and Finn and younger sibling Henry around the world. “[Children] are very present creatures, I think, so they are just where you put them, and so they never asked to go home. They were just having the experience that was presented to them at every turn. They never got sick, thankfully, and it was fundamental for me to be able to maintain the integrity of my life and work at the same time.”

‘Eat Pray Love’ is produced by Brad Pitt, and Julia says, “I was really beholden to him that he would think of me and come to me with this, because it is really a great, defining moment for me as an actor. I don’t usually work this hard anymore. This was a huge workload and really made me very clear about the joy that I possess for doing it.”

Are you a little surprised at how Julia comes across in this interview? Yes, she sounds full of it as usual, but she also seems rather grounded and smart and interesting. Was she always like this and I had just forgotten because she’s spent the last few years coming across like a major a–hole? Or is this the new and improved Julia Roberts? Hm…maybe she just really wants Eat, Pray, Love to do well, and so she’s just playing nice.
