Vicky Cristina Barcelona: A Witty Film About Actresses Making Out

Woody Allen, master of lovelorn neurosis and wealthy self-involvement, has made a new film. Like his exciting and career-reinvigorating Match Point, it's set in a city unfamiliar to Allen's work, Barcelona. Vicky Cristina Barcelona, which was well-received at Cannes, promises to be a sultry, romantic, exploration of the ways in which people... Oh screw it!!!! Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson make out!! They have a threesome with Javier Bardem!!!! Whooooo!!! Though Allen has said there are only "20 seconds of sex" in the whole film, this seems to be the only thing people can say about it. Ah well. Hot Euro lesbo sex sells, I suspect. Above is a trailer with lots of sexy time. After the jump, a trailer with actual, you know, dialogue. Which looks more interesting? More »

If Bruce Willis Doesn't Really Own This Wine Bar, I'm Leaving Right Now

  • Republican-leaning movie star Bruce Willis opened a yuppie-friendly wine bar in the East Village, which prompted protests from neighborhood lefties and counterprotests from the Young Republicans. Turns out? He's not a partner in the bar, he just lent his name as a favor. Because, you know, wine, action movie star Bruce Willis — the connection is obvious. Plus he totally made those wine cooler commercials in the 80s. [Observer]
  • Premium seats for Broadway's All My Sons will sell for $251, as opposed to the usual $100, because of sudden surge in the popularity of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Arthur Miller. Ha ha, just kidding, it's because the play features Katie Holmes, the middling movie star married to insane cultist Tom Cruise. The market works! [E!]
  • The threesome involving Scarlett Johansson, Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem takes up less than 20 seconds of Woody Allen's new movie, according to Allen, but the marketing department is going to milk those precious seconds for all they are worth, starting with the poster.
  • OMG a fashiongay is going to ruin the Obama campaign! "Some Dems fear that in the months ahead, [Andre Leon] Talley, a huge fan of Oscar de la Renta, will steer Michelle into a Bolero jacket or an outfit even more ill-advised." Yes, a big public fight about which expensive outfits Michelle Obama should wear is just what Barack "Elite" Obama needs right now. [P6]
  • Miley Cyrus' dad, country music star Bill Ray Cyrus, revealed that he left the Vanity Fair photo shoot before Annie Leibovitz took the infamous picture of his daughter in a bed sheet. "Stuff happens. That's life... It's not a mistake to me." [Daily Star]
  • Here's a picture of Kate Moss flashing her boobs in Turkey and setting back Islamic/Western relations 20 more years. [Sun]
  • Ashey Olsen went public with her dalliance with movie star Justin Bartha, then proceeded to get way too cutesy: "Told they had a reserved love seat in the theater, Olsen affectionately rubbed Bartha's back and giggled, 'That sounds good!'" Awww... barf.
  • Matthew McConaughey's wife is pregnant, so he went "surfing" in Nicaragua alone, which of course means mostly carousing in bars. He denies hitting on various women, but admits to losing his left flip-flop, and even offers a reward, which is JUST bizarre enough to make you forget about the cheating. Smarter than he looks. [R&M]
  • Police have been searching for Sam Israel, a hedge funder they think faked his own suicide just before starting a 20-year-prison sentence. But it turns out he thinks he can time travel, so the Post wonders if he "FLED TO THE PAST?"
  • If her friends weren't here, Naomi Campbell would totally stab you! And then come back the next day to apologize! And then try to put the incident behind her! [Showbiz Spy]
  • Britney Spears is selling her house, which means the paprazzi will leave and broke neighbor Ed McMahon may finally be able to sell his place. Spears will be destroying property values in Encino next. [E!]

Victoria Gotti Unimpressed With Your Debt-Collection Tactics

  • Victoria Gotti didn't realize she was getting a $70,000 memoir advance to dish dirt on her mobster dad John. Or maybe she did, but she never thought HarperCollins would have the stones to demand it back. [Post]
  • Woody Allen concedes there are threesomes and lesbian scenes in his movie involving Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson and, but explains they constitute "not even 20 seconds of sex." So... about 75 cents per second at the multiplex? Sold. (Oh, the guy: Javier Bardem.) [Showbiz Spy]
  • Lindsay Lohan's girlfriend Samantha Ronson posted a MySpace picture of the couple kissing, then thought better of it and removed the picture. [Perez Hilton]
  • Someone found an insurance company insane enough to cover Lohan's forthcoming movie, Labor Pains, a romantic comedy that will fix Lohan's life forever. [R&M]
  • Still under a spell cast by Vanity Fair mystic Annie Leibovitz, normally chaste 15-year-old Miley Cyrus hooked up with her 22-year-old backup ancer "Marshall." And there are a couple of pictures. [ThinkFashion]
  • Heather Mills, yelling in a New York penthouse about puppy mills and feeling a little victimized herself: "I haven't been up for 24 hours and flew here from London to be ignored!" [P6]
  • Designed Tommy Hilfiger is going to be in some sort of Bravo special. [P6]
  • Meadow Soprano is moving to LA for some TV work. [OK!]

Add A ScarJo Album To Your Social Network!

Scarlett Johansson's *ahem* long-awaited Tom Waits cover album "Anywhere I Lay My Head" is hitting stores a week from today. But in order to demonstrate to your circle of friends that you are ahead of the curve when it comes to blonde starlets and their ego-driven vanity music projects, you can check out her album now on the social network imeem.com (she's "online now!"). It's more targeted than putting it out on laughably polluted Myspace, so from an online marketing perspective, it's a fair deal for ScarJo, and an even better deal for iMeem. But from the perspective of a Tom Waits fan, it's tragic. "I Don't Want To Grow Up" redone as a droning plinky synth-pop song? We're not friends any more. If all goes well technically, her playlist is embedded after the jump. Good credibility-builder for iMeem. Bad for ears: More »

Scarlett Johansson's Five Imaginary Fathers

Everybody listen: Scarlett Johansson is saying stuff. About men. Heroic men! Iconic men! Men she would like to honor! The blonde actress, who insists on putting out an unwanted record, reveals the five guys she considers her "dads": Woody Allen, Bill Murray, Tom Waits, Barack Obama, and Bob Dylan. Suck it, actual dad! While a waggish type might be tempted to point out that none of these "dads" saved her from looking like an alien albino on the cover of Paste, a wiser person would examine her dad choices and ponder the question: Aren't these just a bunch of random old guys that probably don't even know her that well?

Stalk Scarlett Johansson Via Music Video

We now have one answer, at least, to the question of why actress Scarlett Johansson recorded an album of Tom Waits cover songs. It's not just the promo pictures! It's also so there can be a music video in which we, her many fans, get to follow Johansson around during one of her trying days, be all impressed as she hangs out with smarty pants writer Salman Rushdie and sympathize as makeup is painstakingly applied to her face and her hair curled. We also stalk Johansson as she jets off on an airplane and then, upon landing, washes her face. She also gets flowers from fans and shuttled around in the back of an SUV. I actually can't stop watching. And the song is growing on me. I have actually come to agree that Johannson's voice "works convincingly in the musical context" of the song. Frightening! Watch the pretty lady sing the scary song, over and over again, after the jump. More »

Black People Smile Like This

When Vogue put LeBron James on the cover it was innovative: a black man on the cover of a magazine aimed at rich, white women? Anna Wintour's still got it. But now, the fallout. Didn't LeBron James sort of look like King-Kong? And why does that pretty white girl looked so scared? Oh no, racial stereotypes being reinforced on the cover of Vogue, a place normally dedicated to reinforcing an unattainable ideal of beauty. And it gets worse: James's mouth was agape, just like Jennifer Hudson's was on the March cover. Controversy! More »

Scarlett Johansson Vs. Tom Waits

Uncut magazine in the UK got an advance listen to the new and unnecessary Scarlett Johansson album of Tom Waits cover songs, "Anywhere I Lay My Head." According to the scattered preview, ScarJo sounds at various times like Marianne Faithfull, Liz Frazer, Marilyn Monroe, and Joy Division [Uncut]. So there's that. They do point out the asinine spectacle of 24-year-old ScarJo crooning "I Don't Want To Grow Up." You're not, yet, so stop singing about it! The question about this album remains: why must it exist? Certainly not because the blonde it-girl actress is poised to improve on the music of Waits, America's coolest living man. Could it be...the promo photos? It must be the promo photos. After the jump, the plump-lipped ScarJo's recently released contemplative pictures for the album—she enjoys sitting and gazing into the distance, you'll see—along with some of Tom Waits, for comparison's sake.

Scarlett Johansson Purchased By Crazy British Person

Hey, remember how Scarlett Johansson was auctioning herself off for charity? The bidding ended yesterday and someone paid FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS for the opportunity to go to the He's Just Not That Into You premiere, ride in a car that's longer than other cars and is therefore fancy, and meet the busty, hoarse-voiced actress. Though this person, whose cryptic, asexual eBay name is Bossnour, lives in England so they probably just threw, what, like three pence into PayPal and that was that. Bossnour, if you are out there somewhere, reading this: Please let us know how this goes when it goes. Did she touch you? Did you touch her? Was it awkward? Can I have $40,000? [Showbiz Spy]
