Natalie Portman’s line of vegan shoes for designer TĂ© Casan have come out, and the actress explains why the world needs them:
“Basically, I did it out of a lack of choice. Stella McCartney does great shoes, but they’re expensive and very fashiony. I wanted a Mary Jane shoe without leather. I’ve been getting stuff from Target, which is de facto vegan because it’s so cheap. But I did need some shoes that weren’t made of canvas or plastic.”
I know expensive is relative (especially when it comes to shoes) but her flats and pumps retail for about $200 to $300 — so while they may cost half as much as a pair of Stella McCartney’s $600+ sandals, she can’t necessarily claim that she designed these for Jane Slingback.
Secondly, her shoes are made of polyurethane, which is essentially plastic. So now vegans are against plastic? How picky can you be?
(If you’re interested, you can view or pre-order the shoes here.)
(Headline: too mean? Answer: probably.)
Jennifer Love Hewitt is revisiting the issue of those bikini photos again in the latest issue of People.
Basically she says “Whatever, I looked hot enough for some guy to ask me to marry him the same week, so suck on THAT” but then adds she might start working out anyway:
And if she does decide to something about her body, “I will for my health, not for typical reasons,” she told PEOPLE on Sunday at an Oscar viewing party at SBE’s The Abbey in West Hollywood.
“If I do work out more it will be for my health, so I can live a long time and we can have kids and be happy together until we are in our 80s,” Hewitt, 29, said at the event, benefiting AIDS Project Los Angeles. “It won’t be because I am worried about how I look.”
So basically, “I’ll do it because I want to, not because you told me to”? I thought her whole position was that she wasn’t fat and she was sick of talking about it.
Jerry Seinfeld says he was just kidding when he compared cookbook author Missy Chase Lapine to infamous three-named assassins and called her a “wacko.”
Lapine has sued Jessica Seinfeld, his wife, for trademark infringement and defamation over the she-Seinfeld’s book, Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food.
The book’s recipes show parents how to make brownies, cookies, and macaroni and cheese with vegetable purĂ©es, and is highly reminiscent of Lapine’s The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids’ Favorite Meals, which was published six months before Jessica Seinfeld’s book.
The Seinfelds didn’t take too kindly to the lawsuit. Jessica claimed she had never “seen or read this other book” (which is suspect) and Jerry went on Letterman to slam Lapine, comparing her to famous killers Mark David Chapman and James Earl Ray.
“Wackos will wait in the woodwork to pop out at certain moments of your life to inject a little adrenaline into your life experience,” Seinfeld told Letterman.
The celebrity couple went on to say there was nothing “unique and innovative” about Lapine’s ideas, and they have asked a judge to dump the suit and have Lapine pay their legal fees.
Overkill much? Granted, I’m inclined to believe anything bad about Jessica Seinfeld. Bitch is seriously territorial.
Nobody can accuse Hillary Clinton of going out without a fight. Even as pundit after pundit declares her candidacy DOA, she’s still hanging onto the hem of Obama’s garment with all her claws:
Senator Clinton’s campaign is charging Senator Obama with hypocrisy for denouncing independently funded advertising campaigns which supported his opponents in Iowa but saying little about similar efforts being mounted now on his behalf in Ohio.
However, Mrs. Clinton’s own position on the appropriate role for so-called 527 organizations is murky, a fact which complicates her attempt to tarnish Mr. Obama concerning the issue.
“In Iowa, he criticized this kind of spending but in Ohio he is largely silent,” a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton, Howard Wolfson, said. “Senator Obama has a pattern of making promises, making statements that are not backed up by his actions… That is not change you can believe in.”
How much money has Hillary spent on her campaign? Can’t she hire somebody who’ll do more than take whatever Obama’s saying and snottily reverse it? Have they tried “No He Can’t” yet? That’d wow ‘em. How about, “You can’t spell ‘Mama’s boy’ without ‘Obama’”? Nah, that one would probably get her in more trouble than she’s in already.
She could be right and he’s a big hypocrite, but I’m not sure I could stay awake long enough to look into it. He’s prettier and newer than she is, and doesn’t have a voice that makes you want to poke out your own eardrums with knitting needles, and it looks like that’s enough. Plus he’s better at the “How Dare You” game than she is. Oh, and also, she’s Hillary Clinton.
