Palimony Suit Could Force Jodie Foster's 'Midlife Crisis' $25 Million Over Budget
Jodie Foster really has gotten off exceptionally easy so far in her dizzying, delicate miracle of new love with homewrecking writer/producer Cynthia Mort, with her most significant cash outlays being that always-steep first date and the extravagant "My Condolences" balloon bouquet sent Mort's way after HBO canceled her show Tell Me You Love Me. Foster had fared even better with ex Cydney Bernard, who, after 14 years of cohabitative bliss, spared the Oscar-winner the ugliness of custody squabbles, L Word box-set splits and other public indignities. Her typically low public profile escalated for what felt like mere minutes, soon returning to its subtle, cultivated ebb of lesbian quietude — just the way she likes it. More » -

Will Smith Up, Ladies Down on Forbes's Annual List of Stupid-Rich Stars
It's that time of year again, when Hollywood's biggest stars harvest their multiplex crops, drop the hammer on their mums and size up their places among Forbes's annual list of highest-paid movie stars. As we've come to expect, it's Will Smith's world, with the megastar and noted Scientology-school patron raking in $80 million since last June; the remainder of the list comprises mainstays like Johnny Depp ($72 million) and Leonardo DiCaprio ($45 million) along with slip-sliding shockers including Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers, each tied at $55 million thanks in large part to the Shrek franchise's enduring success.

Sarah Michelle Gellar's Male Alter Ego Is Animated, Has an Alligator, and Would Possibly Make Out With Herself
We hope that when we reach whatever the equivalent of our 1,000th issue is — probably Item No. 50,000,000,000, cranked out under duress after a bitter, mop-wielding Coffee Bean barista tells us they closed over an hour ago — we have achieved the kind of clout displayed this week by Entertainment Weekly. There, in celebration of its "New Classics" canon, a handful of celebrities including Viggo Mortensen, Jodie Foster and Sarah Michelle Gellar offer top-10 lists comprising their own cultural touchstones of the last 25 years. And while we might need the weekend to digest Foster's sobering "New Classic Near-Death Experiences," Gellar's gender-bending casting fantasies have our tired, late-Friday minds reeling after the jump.

Is It Splitsville For Jodie Foster And Her Roommate Of 14 Years?
It's difficult enough to note the end of another seemingly rock-solid Hollywood relationship when the two parties are willing to at least admit that yes, they were involved. But how does one go about relaying the sad news that a love is no more, when the love was never outwardly acknowledged in the first place? What's that you say? By ceasing to be such a busybody and allowing them to lead their private lives in private? But we simply cannot do that! This is Jodie Foster we're talking about—and her beautiful Cydney! More » -

Imagining The Top Five Films In Eliot Spitzer's Netflix Queue
In case you hadn't heard, recently resigned NY governor Eliot Spitzer likes call girls. A lot. And while we're still busy casting the inevitable movie of the week, our slideshow-obsessed friends over at Us dove into their archives to reminisce on the hooker-laced pasts of Hugh Grant, Eddie Murphy and escort king Charlie Sheen, who've all been caught with their pants (and dignities) down. But call girls don't always come in the form of silicone sketchballs straight out of the Bada Bing. Sometimes they have hearts of gold and charisma as thick as the air on the 101! If they're played by stars, that is. We dove into our own archives and selected our top five films that revolve around the World's Oldest Profession, flicks that will surely be making their way onto Eliot Spitzer's Netflix queue in no time.

People Cannot Stop Stalking Jodie Foster

First John Hinckley Jr., a 23-year-old who became obsessed with Foster after seeing her littlest sexpot turn in Taxi Driver, followed her around campus, called her on the phone, and, you know, shot president Ronald Reagan and three others in an attempt to impress her.

Anderson Cooper "Inching Out" of Closet
Attached, the intro to a recent story on Anderson Cooper 360 about the hate-motivated murder of an openly gay teenager. You may also recall that last month, Cooper was nominated for an award from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation for a story he did on the plight of homeless gay teens. The difficulties and discrimination faced by gay youths is clearly a subject that Cooper feels strongly about, and his dedication to fighting it is to be admired (and not, as we maybe occasionally are guilty of, mocked). So some might ask why Cooper himself still isn't public about his own sexual orientation, which might lead to him becoming a role model to the millions of young people struggling with discrimination who don't read Gawker. But Cooper might be on his way out of the closet! Sort of! More »

Hollywood Screeches To Halt After Partner Thanked In Jodie Foster Acceptance Speech
Awarded with the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at the 16th annual Women in Entertainment Breakfast Tuesday, Jodie Foster reportedly gave a moving speech, candidly telling the gathered crowd, "I've been working in this business for 42 years and there's no way you can do that and not be as nutty as a fruitcake." Among her many thank-yous, one got a reporter wondering if the veteran actress, so notoriously tight-lipped about her personal affairs and the significance of the "eternity ring" she never removes, had quietly come out to her working woman peers.

Jodie Foster Is A "Gentleman"
"I always feel like something of an impostor," Jodie Foster said at this week's Hollywood Reporter 'Women in Entertainment Power 100' breakfast this week. Says the AP: "Foster characterized herself as a 'professional' and a 'gentleman.'" Really? What else, Clarice? "I don't know what I'm doing... I suppose that's my one little secret." Nonsense, my dear, surely you have more than just the one? "The one lesson is to try and be who you are and not try and be somebody else because you're never going to be very good at being somebody else." But Jodie, maybe if you just sat with us and went over it a few times, we could get it down pat? Great, thanks, you're the best!

Jodie Foster Glamorizes NPR's Culture of Violence
From this week's New York Times article concerning the NYC filming of Jodie Foster revenge flick The Brave One, and in particular, the vocational choices of Foster's character, Erica Bain:In the original script Erica Bain was supposed to be, of all things, a reporter for The New York Times, and Ms. Foster, who confessed to being a "serious N.P.R.-head" — the sort of person who will sit in her garage listening to the car radio until a show is over — changed her to the host of a public radio show.
"Of all things"! Now is it really so hard to believe Jodie Foster as an NYT reporter, in this age of Scarlett Johannson Journalism? Much harder to swallow is an NPR broadcaster who turns to violence, as opposed to turning to, say, flavored teas. More »

Jodie Foster Inspires Graduating Class To Follow Their Whore-Choking Dreams
Jodie Foster took some time off from her busy schedule of shooting whatever claustrophobic action/suspense thriller she happens to be working on at the moment to deliver the commencement address to the graduating class of University of Pennsylvania. Reviews have been good, with Foster reportedly having struck the perfect balance of irreverence and gravitas. For the requisite final note of productive optimism, however, Foster turned to the unlikely inspiration of an Eminem lyric. It was a bold move to choose the controversial rapper's song "Lose Yourself" from which to quote, though perhaps not as incendiary as it would have been had she chosen one of his less "up with people" sentiments, such as "Kill You"'s "Slut, you think I won't choke no whore/'till the vocal cords don't work in her throat no more?!"
