Looking sporty in a yellow jacket paired with blue spandex tights, Renee Zellweger was spotted on break from filming on the set of her new movie on Wednesday afternoon (August 13).
The Academy Award-winning actress is currently working on the Richard Loncraine directed comedy “My One And Only” - which is shooting in Marina Del Rey.
"In the 1960s Esquire was perhaps the nation’s most vibrant magazine — sexy, mischievous, irreverent and hip — and Mr. Hills’s idea of fiction, as well as of the literary life, fit into the ethos of the magazine perfectly." [Times]

It's a pattern if not a rule in politics: the more populist the politician, the more lavish the personal lifestyle. John Edwards—son of a millworker and champion of the other, forgotten America—has the most valuable home in the North Carolina county in which he lives. Since cable news has become an extension of politics, it should be no surprise that a news anchor can maintain a double life. CNN's puffy-faced Poujadist, Lou Dobbs, saved his TV career by channeling the anger of America's redundant middle-aged white men. And yet Idaho-bred Dobbs' lavish home outside New York qualifies him as a member of the overclass against which he rails. It's one thing to wade through the property documents; but here are satellite photographs which show the driveway leading up to Dobbs' country house on Wantage's Quarry Road, the swimming pool and tennis court, and the vast hatched lawn that surrounds the compound. The image isn't detailed enough to show the cars in the driveway, but it's safe to assume that one of them is Dobbs' un-American Aston Martin.
As you stumble home drunkenly this evening, trundling down Stuart St. in Boston, or off of some semi-major highway in the greater Chicagoland area, don't plan on getting your faux-Irish crapbag food fix the way you've gotten it for years. Tonight, everything goes away. After three hundred and twenty-two devoted years of deep frying sandwiches (seriously, one bite and you died... in a good way) Bennigan's Grill & Tavern, known to some as Not-Applebee's, is shuttering most of its locations. Though, if your local family feedbag is one of the independently owned franchises, it might stay open. (Especially in Indiana!) So enjoy that special Jameson barbecue menu for as long as you can. It might not be long, though. Because I remember? When the Ground Round went out of business? There was one near me that stayed open? But then it totally closed, like, only a few months later. Let's take a moment of fried silence.
Shia LaBeouf, 22, was arrested for drunk driving Saturday morning in Hollywood after causing an accident in which he was injured.
The accident happened in Hollywood at approximately 3 a.m. after LaBeouf made a left turn in front of an oncoming car. He was driving a green Ford F-150 truck, which was hit by the other vehicle, causing his F-150 to flip.
Sergeant Wolf with the LAPD said it was obvious that the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull star had been drinking. “It was immediately apparent to officers responding on the scene that LaBeouf was intoxicated and he was subsequently placed under arrest.”
Paramedics were called and both Shia and the driver of the other car were taken to the hospital.
LaBeouf was arrested and booked for a misdemeanor DUI. If his victim would have been critically hurt he would have been cited for felony DUI.
He is being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for injuries to his head, left hand and knee. Surgery was needed on his hand.
If you remember, Shia was arrested last November after refusing to leave a Chicago Walgreen’s for being intoxicated.
Shia, you had better clean up your act buddy, you’re on top of the world - why screw it up now?
Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon University professor whose last lecture after being diagnosed with terminal cancer became a YouTube hit last year, has died at 47. (That turned into the bestselling book The Last Lecture.) Pausch, an award-winning computer science professor, had pancreatic cancer.

Harold and Kumar 3 is coming according to Variety. Not much more is known like where they will be going or escaping from, but if it is anything like the first two it is going to be hysterical!!!
Thats so effing appropriate when you have millions of children watching you on Disney.
Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Effron need to get their shit private. Honestly, what the bloody hell are they thinking? If they’re so horny to get their freak on, just take it to the bed inside a room. We all know they’re screwing each other left to right, so there’s no point in denying it. Christ…at least wait ’till High School Musical 3 is broadcasted, then make a sex tape or something.
Disgusting.
The Star is reporting that Matthew Broderick was caught cheating on his Sex and the City wife Sarah Jessica Parker with someone almost half their ages.
The beloved actress was frantically searching for hubby Matthew Broderick one night earlier this year, he was having sex in the city with a gorgeous redhead half his age, the young woman told a friend.After meeting in a bar, Matthew began text messaging the 25-year-old youth counselor, says the woman's pal. Soon after, the insider claims, they began seeing each other and things got passionate quickly when they met at the Manhattan townhouse of a showbiz friend.
That kind of explains why we haven't seen the two together recently, but then again you rarely ever see them together.
To find out more details about the rumored affair, pick up this week's Star on stands now.

Estelle Getty, actress and adorable little old shrunken lady, passed away today. She was 84. Perhaps best known for her role as cranky and wise-cracking "Ma" Sophia Petrillo to Bea Arthur's Dorothy on the sitcom The Golden Girls, Ms. Getty got her start in the theatre. She once played Harvey Fierstein's mother in the Broadway show Torch Song Trilogy! Those two roles alone ought to cement her in the gay pantheon of revered tough and hilarious broads for the rest of time. Ms. Getty suffered from something called Lewy body dementia, which was misdiagnosed earlier as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. In 2006 she issued a statement through her caregiver about her condition and outlook, telling her fans "that if she has made you laugh, encouraged you to think, and challenged your beliefs, then she has done her job."
Christian Bale’s mother and sister are claiming the Batman actor assaulted them at a hotel in London the night before the European premiere of ‘The Dark Knight’.
His mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, reported the incident to the police on Monday. Authorities decided to not question the actor until after the premiere of the blockbuster movie.
A source told The Sun, “It was a very difficult situation but it would have been wrong to have wrecked the premiere over a complaint which we don’t yet know is founded in truth. But Mr Bale will be contacted at the earliest opportunity and be asked to provide an account of anything that happened.”
A police spokesperson confirmed the reports, “We can confirm we have received allegation from another force in relation to an alleged incident in central London.”
Update from TMZ: Bale turned himself into a London police station this morning (by appointment) and was arrested. It’s merely procedure, and he has not been charged with anything at this point.
Bale once told E! Online, “If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn’t be so adored in the slightest.”
Just in case you've been hiking the Appalachian trail for the past seven months, there's this movie called The Dark Knight coming out today. It's a Batman movie, he of the cowl and the scowl, and it features his most nefarious foe, the Joker. That slithering baddie is played by Heath Ledger, an actor of beguiling good looks and talent who died—tragically, accidentally, hugely—in January. But his performance in this film lives on, and it's said to be the stuff of legend. Critics have been slamming their shoes on their desks for the past week, heralding it as "revelatory" and Brando-esque. The strength of this performance presented Warner Bros., months ago, with something of a conundrum. Should they continue plans to make his leering visage the movie's chief marketing image, or should they shy away from death, retreating to the simultaneously brighter and dimmer lights of Christian Bale and his boringer friends? Ultimately they chose to continue with their Joker-centric media deluge, and people got very angry! How dare they?! The man is dead, reduced to mere ashes floating in the Indian Ocean! It's immoral. And to that, we say bullshit.
The essential problem here is not one of taste or decorum, it's one of practicality and basic fucking humanity. People die. Sometimes, when people are lucky, it's at an advanced old age and one shuffles off surrounded by a wealth of memory and progeny's progeny, and it's merely like closing a book softly, having loved it to the last word. Other times it's quick and messy and ugly and brief, as was the case with Mr. Ledger. But to pussyfoot around, to be so scared to acknowledge death and dying, to wring our hands and say "oh no, what sacred and protected decency will we be violating if we acknowledge this fact" is stupid and obtuse. Frankly, I'm surprised Warner Bros. didn't market this movie as the chance to see Heath Ledger's Last, Greatest Performance. I mean, in essence they have, but in a respectably subtle way. I know that they stand to make a gargantuan sum of cheddar on this chamber piece of a superhero movie, but I think the most important thing is that Ledger's memory is being honored in the biggest, most laudatory way an actor could hope for. The wise and sexy Christian Bale (Santa Fe!) says of the whole foofaraw:
This is a celebration of what he did best - entertain people. Why would any actor not want that to be appreciated? I know he would have. The bottom line is it would be totally rude not to. Respect the man. This is what he did. This is what he wanted to do.
And I think that's the issue boiled down to its simplest and plainest truth. Here is a great thing that someone did once. It's not exploitation, in any way, to recognize that. Sure Warner Bros. may be coolly counting their millions, like business folks do, but they'll be grateful. They are people. Maybe they'll even applaud.
So hush up naysayers and Stevie Sensitivies. Why so serious indeed.
We told you about Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright’s arrest earlier this week in Shreveport, LA where they had just wrapped shooting for the upcoming movie, ‘W’.
New details have emerged about the arrests and from witnesses accounts we have learned that it was the police who were out of control.
Although both Brolin and Wright had attempted to keep the peace with officers, the cops went on a rampage, repeatedly spraying Wright in the face with pepper spray and tasing him - even though he was on the ground on his stomach. Witnesses claim that the officers used very foul language directed at Wright - even calling him ‘n*gger’.
As Brolin tried to calm to officers and make peace he was also sprayed in the face repeatedly with the pepper spray, even though he was simply standing still and not fighting back.
It’s not yet been decided if Brolin, Wright or the other castmates will be charged with interfering with a police officer.
The economy these days is terrible and scary! Uh, notwithstanding yesterday's biggest gain in financial stocks in two decades. The important thing is, business figures must look terrified for the future of us all. So the WSJ had to redo some of its overly happy portraits (like Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit's, pictured). Below, a larger version of Pandit, and before and after shots of Hank Paulson, courtesy of CJR. Their furrowed brows will solve the credit crisis:

Sarah Jessica Parker had her signature mole removed from her chin.
“It’s true. She did have it done," a friend of Parker tells Usmagazine.com. "There was no reason for it, it wasn’t because she didn’t like her mole, and it wasn’t because of any medical reason, it was simply because she was in the mood to have it removed. That’s all.”
Good for her for doing because she wanted to and not because of all the nasty comments made about her.

Khloe and Kim Kardashian
[Updated] Khloe Kardashian, 24, will report to jail this Friday to serve time for her DUI arrest last year.
A source said, “The judge is trying to make an example out of her.”
I’m curious as to how, being as she will most likely only serve a few minutes or hours of the 3 days she was sentenced to.
She admitted to “failing to complete [roadside cleanup duty] and enroll in an alcohol education class.”
Wow. Three days. Way to throw the book at her judge..
Josh Brolin was arrested after he was involved in a bar fight early Saturday morning in Shreveport, LA.
He is there shooting the upcoming film about George W. Bush called, ‘W’.
The fight went down at the Stray Cat Club at around 2 am. Officers were called with a complaint about an unruly patron. As they arrived, Brolin and castmate Jeffrey Wright (he plays Colin Powell in ‘W‘) intercepted the officers.
More officers were called as the situation escalated, and eventually there were 10 officers on the scene.
Brolin, Wright and four others were charged with interfering with police.
Brolin was booked into jail and later posted the $334 bond and was released.
Also arrested were Wright, 42, Evan C. Bates, 26, of Torrance, CA; Cherilyn Young, 36, of Austin, TX; Amy Draughn, 33; and Ismael Martinez, 28, of El Paso, TX.
Bates, Martinez and Young also were booked into jail and charged with interfering with officers.
But Eric Felland, 29, of Hollywood, CA, didn’t get off so good. He must have been the rowdy bastard who started the whole ordeal. You can probably bet he’s the dumbass with the gash on his forehead.
Felland, a lighting technician, was charged with entering and remaining, resisting arrest and public intoxication. His bond was set at $752.
Saw Miss Universe last night…exciting shit.
If you ask me, all the girls looked like they’ve undergone plastic surgery- with the exception of Miss Colombia. I think the best part of the show was when Miss USA fell on her fatass.
This happened last year too…so I think it must be some sort of a sign showing how not only does the United States lack a balance in a show which dehumanizes women, they lack a balance economically and politically.
Seriously…we give people awards for looking like barbie dolls? What the hell? And Miss Venezuala won. She looked like the fakest out of all of them. So Venezuela, you have NOTHING to be proud of. You won soley on paid tits and ass.
But I will give kudos on where Miss Universe was held: Vietnam. It’s about time they picked a country that needs some spotlight. Seriously, I was blown away on how amazing Vietnam is now. They have advanced quiet a lot in these past years. So I will applaud to that.
Hiroaki "Rocky" Aoki, the wrestler and restaurateur who essentially introduced America to Japanese food with his Benihaha chain, died today in New York. He was 69. Aoki raised the money to start his first Benihana by driving an ice cream truck in Harlem, which is awesome. More recently, he's been known to New Yorkers through his children, model Devon and annoying scenester DJ Steve. He faced deportation in 2006, and you could do worse for an introduction to his colorful life than this New York story on that incident. It begins, ominously: "'My daughter Grace is telling me, Daddy, your wife is going to poison you to death. Be careful what you eat,' says Rocky Aoki with an odd, amused grin." [AP]
From Fashionista, this was the $1,600 question in the "TV Women" category of Jeopardy! last night. It has to do with MTV reality space opera The Hills. The correct response, of course, would be "Who is the goddess Kali?" Click through for larger.
Speaking of Jeopardy... Update!
Taping an episode of the show next Monday will be none other than media reporter, journalism school expert, and all around public married person Greg Lindsay! Update the Career Trajectory!
Be warned: This is pretty gross, yet hilarious.
Ranae Shrider, Mini-Me’s ex and also sexy tape co-star gave the scoop to News of the World about her ex-boyfriend’s intimate moments with her. Now remember that sex tape kids?-well she was the one who leaked it to the public ( how surprising). As I was reading this interview I was shocked on the amount of detail she gave to the magazine…damn girl you could have written some midget erotic novel. It was almost painful to keep reading on…but there was still some funny shit being said:
“I thought it would be fun to do it in the tub. Sadly I almost killed him. While Verne was watching TV I ran the bath, emptied a bottle of bubbles in it and called him in. But the bubbles were so thick and high that once he climbed in he got lost under the water and I couldn’t see him. Verne’s voice is just like it is in the films and as he disappeared under the water, I heard this tiny yelp for help. I could just hear him crying, ‘Ranae, I can’t see! Get me out, I’m drowning!”
Stupid, stupid woman. Instead of leaking the tape of you and Mini-Me doing the nasty you should have leaked the one of you almost drowning him. It would have made America’s Funniest Videos!!!
One is told not to speak ill of the dead, and even the obit writers of this ill-mannered site usually find some praiseworthy note—Hitler was kind to animals!—in even the shabbiest of lives. But it would be dishonest to pretend that Jesse Helms was anything other than a caricature of a Southern bigot.
The long-time Republican senator from North Carolina—who died today at the age of 86—disliked using the term "gay" to describe homosexuals because "there's nothing gay about them." The Hands ad (featured here) during Helms' 1990 re-election campaign played into the most basic of white fears of black political power and racial quotas. And the cranky politico took seeming pleasure in opposing every cause dear to the liberal heart, such as foreign aid or support for the arts.
Helms—who never secured more the 55% of the vote even in conservative North Carolina—foreshadowed the Republican political strategy of the last four cycles, ever mindful of the base and content to govern with the narrowest of coalitions. The only thing that can be said of the former senator is that he recognized race-baiting became less effective over time as older conservative voters died off, and the wedge-driving politics that he so symbolized has run its course.
The latest polls put Barack Obama—amazingly—only 5 points behind in North Carolina. An ad as crude and divisive as Hands—"You needed that job," the narrator tells a white man who's just received a rejection letter—won't play so well this time.
With her high-profile career and demanding family life, it’s a wonder Heidi Klum ever finds time to sleep! The German supermodel was spotted balancing work and family in New York City yesterday.
Decked out in a sexy black dress and snakeskin Christian Louboutin heels, Klum was seen having lunch with her friends at the uber-trendy Barbuto restaurant in Manhattan.
Wearing a pair of celebrity shades and a “Rock and or Roll” t-shirt, Zac Efron was spotted out and about in the Valley on Wednesday morning (July 2).
The “High School Musical” hunk checked out the floor plans mounted on the wall while readjusting his sunglasses before quickly moving along about his business.
Clay Felker, the founding editor of New York magazine, died today at the age of 80 after an extended illness. The Missouri native got his start in journalism as a magazine writer for titles like LIFE, Time, and Esquire, but he will go down in history as the man who codified a method for chronicling the elite of New York, while providing a platform for the city's best writers. He's responsible for creating the only real glossy city magazine that is also a good magazine on its own merits—unapologetically elitist, but not blinkered. And slick enough to justify it all.
Felker started New York in 1968 as a "new journalism" window into the workings of the city's power structure—but one that defined the power structure broadly, and explored how the city's different spheres collided with each other:
Thirty years ago, not long before his fellow owners and Rupert Murdoch squeezed him out of the magazine he had founded, Felker defined New York very simply as a guide to "how the power game is played, and who are the winners." And Wolfe, his early superstar, has said that "Clay's real interest, although I'm not sure he ever thought it out conceptually, was status and how it operates in New York. ... In New York Magazine, Clay really wrote an enormous novel about the city. ... It was his vision, his plot—a huge novel called The City of Ambition."
Designed as a sort of urban-centric antidote to the New Yorker's more eclectic musings, the magazine fostered a ton of talent, including Tom Wolfe, Gloria Steinem, and Gail Sheehy, Felker's future wife. He lost the magazine to Rupert Murdoch in a hostile takeover in 1976. He would go on to hold a series of editorial jobs at a kaleidoscope of titles, including Esquire, the Daily News, the Village Voice, and US News & World Report. But none would approach the legacy that he left with New York.
Kurt Andersen says that Felker, the middle American emigre to the big city, simply took his mental playbook of how New York worked "literally, and published it in weekly serial form." And look around: that's what everyone—including us—is doing today. For that, we must all acknowledge that Felker's mark will never disappear, as long as this city stays full of smart people with a burning ambition to talk.
We will now know where that finger has been.
Mini Me leaked his own damn sex tape into the hands of SugarDVD. This is just sad…..I saw like 7 seconds of it and it’s so wrong on so many levels. Not that I have anything against little people and their sexual lives- but this is Mini Me. He’s not supposed to be doing things like this. He’s the funny guy, the guy Mike Myers picks on. It’s just disturbing. Just like when he was nude on his scooter in that Surreal Life shit.
Celebrities need to stop using sex tapes to promote themselves.
Stand-up comedian George Carlin, whose routine about forbidden words on the airwaves led to a key Supreme Court decision on government broadcast oversight, died of heart failure near Los Angeles. He was 71. Carlin had been admitted to the hospital earlier in the day with chest pains. He launched to fame in the 1960s as a straightlaced, suit-and-tie comedian appearing on programs like the Ed Sullivan Show as characters like the "hippie-dippie weatherman." By the 1970s, he was doing more risque material in long hair and jeans, and his performance of the routine "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" prompted an obscenity trial in Milwaukee, plus the Supreme Court fight, which arose from the airing of a similar routine on the radio in New York and an FCC fine.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Carlin's comedy became both sharper as social commentary and emotionally darker, sounding even, at times, bitter. The comedian was treated for alcohol addiction after a fight with an audience at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in 2004.
Below, Carlin's 1990 routine (NSFW) on how euphemisms undermine discourse in America. Post your own favorite routines in the comments.
"I walked through Union Square on my way to acting class and got offered loose joints. Drug dealing was a great tradition in this city. There are other traditions people can get involved with in this city. When I was younger, I used to get a bottle of wine and get drunk under the Staten Island Ferry... so there are things like that you can do." — Actor Alec Baldwin, at a PETA event last night, suggesting alternatives to the "traditional" New York tourist experience of riding a horse-drawn carriage.
