Maddox Makes Time for Mommy
Angelina Jolie had two visitors at 8 a.m. Saturday morningher older brother, James Haven, and son, Maddox.
“Since news broke that Angelina’s at the hospital, there’s now roughly 200 fans waiting outside on the pavement,” Rachel Roberts, who lives close to the Lenval maternity hospital in Nice, tells News.
“As soon as the car with Maddox in it pulled up, people were squeezing up against the windows hoping for a glimpse of him and taking photos. He must have been really scared, poor thing.”
Maddox was sporting a new mohawk with blond streaks (not pictured)similar to one he had before Shiloh was born in Namibia in 2006.
The pair stayed until just before 5 p.m. before returning home to see Pax, whom James, 35, has been helping to look after at the family’s château in Brignoles.
Brad Pitt, along with Shiloh and Zahara, are believed to have stayed at the hospital, where they have booked out four suites on the sixth floor, since they were pictured visiting last Thursday.
Pamela on Jessica: Just Kidding!
If ya think there’s a blonde-on-blonde battle brewing between Pamela Anderson and Jessica Simpson, think again.
Reports that Anderson has lashed out against Simpson for wearing a T-shirt recently that read “Real Girls Eat Meat” have been greatly exaggerated…
Yes, the former Baywatch babe called Simpson a “bitch” and a “whore” during an Australian radio show, but her tone was way more cracking a funny than battle cry.
The star of E!’s new reality series Pam: Girl On the Loose laughed when one of the radio hosts, Jackie O, asked her about the T-shirt and explained, “This is the first time I’ve heard about it.”
When the other host, Kyle, suggested that Simpson’s tee was more adult than animal themed, Anderson cracked. “She was not referring to actual, you know, cows and chickens. I think she was referring to men.”
Meanwhile, I hear Anderson is driving to Las Vegas this weekend to celebrate her birthday (she turns 41 tomorrow). The roadtrip will apparently include a stop at the world’s largest thermometer (it’s 134 feet tall) in scorching hot desert town Baker, Calif., to cook veggie burgers on the pavement.
Yummy.
Poor Craig Thomas… all the power, none of the credit
Say you’re a comedy writer. You toil away for years in the comedy writing salt mines. You write monologue jokes and little skits for Dave Letterman for years, while you and your best friend / writing partner pound the pavement in L.A. pitching a show about five friends in their twenties. You finally land the show, and produce three highly-acclaimed, if only moderately-watched, seasons. You’re always on the bubble, stressing over everything from the medicated pop star you’ve hired to boost ratings to people asking you whether you’re ever going to reveal the mystery invoked by the show’s title.
You go through all this, and, if you’re Craig Thomas, what do you get? Everyone calling you by your partner’s name.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen commenters here and on other web sites refer to the How I Met Your Mother writing / show-running team, as “Carter and Bays” or “Carter/Bays.” Folks, Carter Bays is only one person; he’s Craig Thomas’ friend and writing partner ever since they met in college. They worked on Letterman and American Dad together before landing the comedy haven that is HIMYM. But they’re two separate people. I know, because I’ve met both of them (both are incredibly nice guys).
It’s understandable how this can happen. Bays’ first name is normally a surname — we had a president with that last name, remember — and it seems like “Carter and Bays” sounds more lyrical than “Bays and Thomas.” Also, Carter seems to be the more out front of the two, doing interviews with us and others while Craig stayed in the background, where he seems to like it.
But I’m here to give Craig the credit he deserves. So, if you write about the producers of How I Met Your Mother again, here’s a tutorial on the proper and improper ways to address the two of them:
Correct
“Bays and Thomas”
“Bays / Thomas”
“Bays & Thomas”
“Carter Bays and Craig Thomas”
“Carter and Craig”
Incorrect
“Carter and Bays”
“Carter / Bays”
“Carter & Bays”
“Carter Bays and Bays Carter”
“Bays and Carter”
Place this in front of your computer monitor, and you’ll be set for all future HIMYM commenting endeavors.
Mary-Kate Olsen Gets Bopped On The Noggin
Mary-Kate Olsen Gets Bopped On The Noggin
There’s nothing like getting beaned on the head to ruin a night out in LA. Just ask Mary-Kate Olsen. Upon her arrival at Les Deux, the Full House hottie was knocked over by a camera.
Apparently, Olsen fell to the ground after being hit on the forehead by a paparazzo’s camera. She dropped some personal items and money before being scraped off the pavement by her posse.
She was taken inside the club and attended to by members of her entourage. And when she emerged later on, Mary-Kate was wearing a hat to cover her forehead bruise.
There’s no report of any legal action being taken by the pint-sized actress against the paparazzi. Her reps haven’t released a statement, either.
