Drama At The Met: Wedding Rings Gone MIA, Honcho Snubs And Catfights Galore

5:20AM Molly Friedman | Mixing two high-profile sects like A-list stars and fashionistas will inevitably result in a bit of drama, but at Monday night’s Costume Institute Gala, drama took on a whole new meaning. Catfights! Divas! Public Displays Of Aggression! From Christina Ricci’s early departure to Peacock King’s Jeff Zucker’s bitchy avoidance of Darth Weinstein on the red carpet, everyone’s claws were out on Monday night. Adding fuel to the fire, one married actress decided to show up to the event sans wedding ring amid rumours of a pending divorce. All the details, including Jennifer Aniston’s fling-of-the-week’s comments on whether or not the whole mushy affair is for real, after the jump. More »

Underpromoted ‘Speed Racer’ Plans Public One-Night Stand With Korean Pop Icon

8:30AM Defamer Hollywood | Speed Racer doesn’t have enough going for it, evidently, for Warner Bros. to sell an April 25 sneak preview in Los Angeles on its own hotly anticipated merits. And its venue partners at the ImaginAsian Theatre apparently could take or leave stars Emile Hirch, Christina Ricci, Susan Sarandon and others. No, what this movie really needs is a boost from one of the world’s most famous international pop stars to get people interested — i.e. Rain, the Korean sensation (and Speed Racer co-star) whose profile dwarfs the WB tentpole by comparison. And with free, first-come-first-served seats, we imagine a perfectly calm crowd will be on hand to join him. Follow the jump for details about joining the riot. More »

Reese Witherspoon and Christina Ricci Are Just Friends. For Now.

8:30AM Molly Friedman | Looks like Penelope co-stars Christina Ricci and Reese Witherspoon could learn a thing or two from touchy-feely new couple Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman: when co-starring in a film that’s not guaranteed to be a hit, don’t stop at matching haircuts and standing thisclose together at the premiere. Go in for the kill already! Holding on to each other and smiling from ear to ear (but not rear to rear), Reesetina looked almost as lovey-dovey as ScarNat at the LA premiere of Penelope last night, but one set of tattooed cleavage does not a Fake Kiss make.

Christina Ricci – “Gambling Rules, OK?”

10:45AM Jess McGuire | Apparently Christina Ricci is in the throes of a new love affair. No, we’re not talking about her Aussie beau Kick Gurry, but rather her deep passion for a punt. The Penelope star has confessed she is “obsessed” with all forms of betting, including having a punt on the gee-gees and the footy – a habit she picked up during her trip Down Under this summer. “I’ve learned to love gambling. I was in Australia for a few months and gambling is like a national pastime there. Now I even put on a few football bets and I’m kind of obsessed and into it. Gambling is pretty good,” she said. We can now add “Sitting at Souths Rugby League Club with Russell Crowe chatting about the evils of pokies” to our list of places Christina Ricci is unlikely to be found any time soon. More »

Christina Ricci Meets The Gurry Clan; A Nation Shrugs

1:05PM Clem Bastow | Remember a few months ago when we told you Kick Gurry had gone from being the Dolly pin-up of Looking For Alibrandi to the “little known” Aussie actor who is schtupping Christina Ricci? Well, things are evidently going swimmingly in the Gurry-Ricci camp, as the lollipop-headed actress has jetted in to Australia to spend the summer holidays with her beau. Apparently Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban/Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom/anyone else were unavailable for comment or paparazzi opportunities. Ricci’s arrival in Oz indicates the serious nature of the couple’s relationship, with the Black Snake Moan star spending time getting to know Gurry’s family and friends. The couple were sighted shopping at Westfield Bondi Junction yesterday after Ricci spent Christmas at the Gurry’s family home in Melbourne. While Gurry waited patiently, Ricci tried on a pair of designer shorts from luxury French boutique Paul and Joe, which she then bought. “They seemed really happy together — they were very affectionate and cute,” a Confidential spy reported. “Apparently she’s going to be in town for a few months.” In town for a few months? Great! We’ll start putting in our orders for photo opps now. How about… Kick Gurry and Christina Ricci picking up some cheap 300-thread-count sheets at Best ‘N’ Less! Kick Gurry and Christina Ricci going to the Maccas drive-through! Kick Gurry and Christina Ricci watching Postcards! We’re excited already. More »

Kickin’ It With Christina

10:11AM Clem Bastow | How the mighty have fallen – we remember a time, around the release of Looking For Alibrandi, when Kick Gurry was the #1 choice hottie (or whatever) in Australian film and television, and tipped to be the next big thing. Now, he is just another “little-known Australian actor” – but it’s not all tears in the Gurry camp; at least he’s managed to snag himself a Hollywood girlfriend. Gurry has just finished co-starring with Golden Globe nominee [Christina] Ricci in Speed Racer, a live-action remake of the 1960s Japanese cartoon, but it is understood their relationship has spilled from the set into real life. While both their agents have declined to comment on the romance, the pair set tongues wagging at an “Aussies in LA” event for the AFL Grand Final at Hollywood Billiards sports bar last week. …”The whole party was talking about the fact that they were an item.” Well, if it is true, ‘gratz to Kick for managing to claw his way back from former-next-big-thing obscurity, but really, there’s only one issue about this pairing that we’re particularly interested in. Imagine, if they had children, how round the kids’ faces would be – they’d be like hi-bouncing balls with legs and arms! More »

‘Black Snake Moan’ Remake Improves Upon Original With Addition Of Actual Boning

4:30AM Defamer Hollywood | If you don’t mind how the posts tend to stick together, Fleshbot is always a great place to go for the latest in XXX takes on Hollywood releases. In the grand tradition of The Da Vinci Load, then, we present for you their latest discoveryBlack Snake Boned!. Amazingly enough, the filmmakers have somehow spun the quaint source material- about a white, Southern, nymphomaniac party girl chained to a radiator by a physically intimidating African American bent on “taming” her – into something more appropriate for adult fare. Something tells us this is exactly the kind of breakout role Devlin Weed needed to catapult himself to the next level, and we imagine it won’t be long before the producers of Skanks on a Plane, and similar projects seeking to capitalise on his new notoriety as the Sam Jackson of the porn industry, begin to pour in.
