Celebrity Update: New Jersey “Tanorexic” Woman Arrested

5/14/2012

What’s one way to become a celebrity overnight? Bring your 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth with you!

Although this New Jersey woman may not make the cut for the “Smartest People in the World” list, she definitely knows how to go viral in 24 hours.

Within a few hours of the breaking news that Patricia Krentcil had allegedly taken her daughter into the tanning bed with her, she became a sensation on social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and across national news stations.

Krentcil, 44, was convicted of second-degree child endangerment. Child services intervened after a nurse at daughter Anna’s school noticed she had a rash and bad sun burn. The little girl told her it was from going tanning with her mother.

Krentcil claimed she did not bring her into the booth, but just the room itself and that her daughter’s burn was from the sun—a day spent gardening—not from a tanning bed.

“I never once in my life let my daughter, especially at that age, go into a tanning booth,” Krentcil, who is out on $25,000 bail, explained, adding, “I’m very tan and I’ve been tanning my whole life.”

She lost her cool on Wednesday when she was questioned by a TMZ reporter about the charges she exposed her kindergartener to, potentially harmful ultraviolet rays.

“I’m a great mother and I would never do that to my child,” Krentcil said, while getting into a car.

Anna, who is currently in her father’s custody, has very fair skin and red hair, not the type of person who should be tanning anyways, regardless of her age.

In another clip by Reuters and the New York Daily News, Krentcil says with a look of disgust on her face, “I’m going to bring my little daughter into a 90 degree bed? I mean, that’s not normal.”

Celebrity Update: Vampire Kristen Stewart injured during Breaking Dawn Reshoot

5/7/2012

Apparently actress Kristen Stewart has been working hard on playing the part of a vampire in the movie Breaking Dawn part II because she has recently admitted to suffering a foot injury after working on a reshoot.

Stewart, 22, told Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" this past Friday that she sustained a nasty “puncture wound” when filming additional hunt scenes.

Wearing flats instead of heels, she told Leno, “We were doing some stuff for Breaking Dawn still, I keep thinking we're done... It was cool though. I wasn’t trying to have ultimate swag when I walked out—I hurt my foot. I wasn’t trying to get out of wearing heels either. Puncture wound, promise!”

She also revealed that her on-screen daughter, Mackenzie Foy is the “coolest actress” she’s ever worked with.

Stewart, who was recently named Glamour UK’s Best Dressed Woman award for 2012, wore a Dolce & Gabbana James Dean t-shirt with a burnt orange Rebecca Minkoff blazer, J Brand jeans and oxford shoes by Bloch.

Part II of the film hits theaters this November. Stewart and her boyfriend, Robert Pattinson, returned to Los Angeles from the film’s Vancouver set Thursday.

The hot celeb couple told Us Weekly that they made the most of their two-day reshoots by staying in their usual suite at a local hotel. “Tuesday they stayed in and hung out together, “ the insider told Us. “He just wanted to have a mellow night and order in.”

Celebrity Update: Glamour's Best Dressed Celebrity Women of 2012

5/2/2012

Glamour, Britain’s number one women’s magazine has asked the public to vote, yet again, for the best-dressed celebrity women. This year, there was a surprising turn when Kristen Stewart was at the top of the list. Not necessarily because she has the best clothes or style but because “she’s the kind of girl with a style that we can all relate to.” Although I’m not sure I agree with some of the choices, here are a few I loved and adore!
 
#2 Emma Watson
The former Harry Potter star, Emma Watson went from capes to glamour. Although she first stepped out into the lime light as a little girl, she makes it known she is no longer that little girl anymore. Looking fabulous from head to toe every time she hits the red carpet, she received second place in Glamour’s best-dressed women of 2012, only beaten out by Kristen Stewart. Last year she came in first place in the UK magazine’s competition. Glamour said: "Emma never puts a well-heeled foot wrong, from flying the Brit flag in Burberry trenches, to rocking fun Valentino and Dior frocks on the red carpet. A colour chameleon, she looks stunning in both rainbow brights and monochrome, cementing her place in the style set."

Celebrity Update: PETA v. Kim Kardashian on the Red Carpet

4/1/2012

Kim got floured?
 

E! Reality star Kim Kardashian made headlines last week thanks to a PETA activist dumping a pound of flour on her head during a red carpet interview.
 
Kardashian, 31, was at the launch of her new fragrance line in West Hollywood Thursday night, when she was doused with flour and ran off the red carpet leaving a path of flour trailing from both her hair and clothes.
 
Police arrested the woman who threw the flour onto her to make sure it was, in fact, cooking flour and nothing toxic. Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, reportedly rushed to a private room at the London Hotel where a crew of people brushed off the powder and shook out her hair.
 
Luckily, this incident did not ruin the star’s night and she walked out onto the carpet again with confidence, laughing and joking about what just happened.
 
“That probably is the craziest, unexpected, weird thing that has ever happened to me,” Kardashian told E! Online.
 
Kardashian’s younger sister, Khloe Kardashian, who was not at the event tweeted, “I wish I was with my sister tonight,” wrote Khloe Kardashian. “I bet you that woman wouldn’t have dared tried a thing…”
 
Kourtney Kardashian, her older sister, also tweeted about the event saying, “Classy to flour bomb my sister at her charity event helping women. I wonder if they would have dared thrown the flour at my hormonal and pregnant self!”
 
PETA, an animal rights organization, denied any connection to the flour-bombing attack, however it turns out that the attacker, Christina Cho, is a pretty influential PETA activist.

Celebrity Update: George Clooney Arrested

3/26/2012

Movie star gone activist?

Hollywood star and recent activist, George Clooney was arrested at Sudan’s embassy in Washington on March 16 during a protest against the country’s blockade of humanitarian aid.
 
The 50-year-old actor and his father Nick, along with several other anti-Sudan activists, ignored three police warnings to leave the embassy grounds and were led away to a Secret Service van in handcuffs.
 
Clooney was charged with disorderly crossing of a police line, which is a misdemeanor and ended up paying a $100 fine, opting to forfeit the money in order to avoid a court appearance.
 
According to CNN Entertainment, just before the arrest, Clooney told the crowd that he and his fellow activists were there “to ask two very simple questions…The first question is something immediate, and immediately, we need humanitarian aid to be allowed into Sudan before it becomes the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.”
 
The other, he said, “is for the government in Khartoum to stop randomly killing its own innocent men, women and children. Stop raping them and stop starving them. That’s all we ask.”
 
However, for respectable reasons or not, Clooney said, “It’s actually a humiliating thing to be arrested no matter what you do, but I’m glad to be standing here with my father.”
