Jane Fonda Teaches Heidi Montag How to Rock a Leotard

6:05AM STV | Tuesday’s unnerving visit to the set of Sweatin’ Your 15 Minutes Away, with Heidi Montag was accompanied by an even more debilitating ebb of confidence in popular culture to ever make us smile again. So imagine the overwhelming (if perhaps coincidental) sense of joy that came along with revisiting Jane Fonda’s early-’80s workout-video heyday — a brain-exploding, pre-ironic throwback to an era when only two-time Oscar winners were entitled to such garish Lycra supremacy. Sam Sparro’s anthem “Black and Gold” provides the mid-tempo counterpoint, the entirety of which can be observed at Vimeo; our brains are full. Grateful, but full. And does she ever hit the spot.

Hollywood Forever: Long Live Jane Fonda’s Boobs

9:45AM Defamer Hollywood | Every group of friends has a Movie Nazi. You know this person: they buy the tickets a day in advance; they send the email two weeks beforehand, organizing everyone; they insist you get there at least a half hour early so you can get the best seats. You grumble, but in the end you are grateful for the Movie Nazi, especially when the movie event in question is at the Cinespia outdoor film series at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Follow along as we break down an evening spent with thousands of our closest friends for a screening of the ’60s camp classic Barbarella. More »

Which Young Actress (Cough, Ellen Page, Cough) Dared To Blow Off The Advances Of Jane Fonda?

4:50AM Molly Friedman | Oh Ellen Page. First you send your “power lesbian” publicist into a tizzy defending your heterosexual honor, then you make a fool out of poor Jay Leno in his own house of belly laughs. Have you really moved on to shun the potty-mouthed legend that is Jane Fonda? One stripper-scripted indie hit on your resume does not entitle you to divadom quite yet. In a scathing NY Daily News blind item today, a “rising young actress” is reported to have brushed off Fonda’s desire to meet her at a party with a curse-laden remark, and as our detective skills suggest after the jump, all signs point to Page as the catty star in question.

Jane Fonda To Discover She’s The Only One Lindsay Lohan Can Count On

3:52AM Defamer Hollywood | On today’s Martha Stewart Show, unstoppable party juggernaut Lindsay Lohan – who could not even be slowed by a pricey, totally unnecessary outpatient rehab program – finally lets her defences down (once Martha gets you into her kitchen and has you whipping up profiteroles, you’re fucking toast) and reveals the one person who could possibly end her reign of clubbing terror: Georgia Rule co-star Jane Fonda. As reassuring as it is to discover that there’s at least one authority figure the troubled actress might actually listen to, we fear that new ET correspondent Dina Lohan might be so deeply hurt that she might use her next Rule assignment to hunt down Fonda for an ugly confrontation, grabbing a fistful of the older actress’s hair and screaming, “So, now you’re trying to steal my meal ticket, you commie bitch? Don’t fuck with a mom from Strong Island with nothing to lose!,” a tussle during which a peacemaking Cojo tragically loses an eye to Dina’s wildly flailing fingernails.
