‘Desperate Housewives’ trial begins: Actress Nicolette Sheridan sues creator Marc Cherry over firing

Posted by BSW Buzz on 1st March 2012

LOS ANGELES — Nicollette Sheridan was fired from “Desperate Housewives” for standing up to the series’ creator after he struck her in the head, her attorney said Wednesday during opening statements in her wrongful termination trial.

Mark Baute said the show’s creator and executive producer, Marc Cherry, struck Sheridan hard on the head in September 2008 and fired her after ABC cleared him of wrongdoing. Sheridan is seeking roughly $6 million in damages.

Baute said Cherry acknowledges touching Sheridan, but claims he was tapping her head to give her artistic direction.

“This is a man hitting a woman in the head — hard — without her consent,” Baute said.

The ABC series’ stars, Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman and Marcia Cross, could provide some star power to the trial because all are listed as potential witnesses. The trial will also provide a behind-the-scenes look at how a major television show is created, with both sides focusing on when the decision was made to kill off Sheridan’s character, Edie Britt.

Baute said Sheridan was waging her case mostly alone, but that two of the show’s writers will testify that no decision about eliminating Sheridan’s character was made until after ABC concluded its inquiry into the slapping incident.

Baute argued that the Edie Britt death was hastily planned and not the result of months of planning as Cherry claims. Britt was killed off in the fifth season. Attorneys for the show claim it was a creative decision, but the actress said she was wrongfully fired for complaining that Cherry struck her during a fight.

Sheridan dabbed her eyes with a cloth during her attorney’s opening remarks, and hugged Baute after he concluded.  Cherry and ABC have denied all wrongdoing. Their defense attorney was expected to make an opening statement later Wednesday.

Jurors will be asked to decide whether Sheridan was wrongfully terminated from the show and whether Cherry committed battery by striking her in the head. Sheridan and Cherry attended jury selection, which lasted two days. Potential panelists were grilled on whether they had seen the show and their views on television and violence.

“Desperate Housewives,” a glossy prime-time comedy/soap opera with an ensemble cast including Hatcher and Longoria, made a pop-culture and ratings splash when it premiered in 2004 but has seen its audience dwindle. It is in its last season.  Amen to that.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck welcome a baby boy!

Posted by BSW Buzz on 29th February 2012

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck will finally be able to add a little testosterone to their household, the happy Hollywood couple announced Tuesday.

Garner and Affleck, both 39, welcomed baby number three, a baby boy, in Santa Monica, Calif., a source confirmed to People.

The couple, who announced that they were expecting last August, already have two young daughters together – Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3.

It’ll be a new experience for the two parents, who have become accustomed to rearing their little girls, but one that they welcome with open arms.

Garner, who had previously said that she wanted a third daughter, told Jay Leno in January that Affleck was probably hoping for a boy – but could be swayed.

“I would have thought so. At first I think I really thought so,” she said when asked whether Affleck wanted a son. “And then he kind of said, ‘Well, we have girls. We know how to do girls. My girls love me. I’m the big guy in the house.’ So, now I’m not sure.”

Even Garner admitted that “it would be so weird to have a boy,” during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres. But, the “Alias” actress reasoned, it would definitely be “cool and different.”

At least the girls are already excited about the prospect of a younger sibling.

“Our girls are working on names,” Garner told Leno in January. “At first they were definitely Disney. It was like, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse Affleck.

“And then they’ve moved on. Then it was Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Smee.”

Pippa Middleton Is Exercising For A Children’s Charity

Posted by BSW Buzz on 28th February 2012

Pippa Middleton, the sister of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, is tackling Sweden’s traditional 56-mile cross-country marathon on Sunday.  She will be strapping on skis for charity.

the royal couple and family updates

Pippa Middleton is exercising for charity

 

Per Strid, race spokesman, says Pippa and her brother James are doing the Vasaloppet race to raise money for the child hunger charity Magic Breakfast.  First held in 1922, the Vasaloppet is one of the world’s oldest cross-country races.  It stretches from the village of Salen near the Norwegian border to the central town of Mora.  16,000 people took part in the race last year.

Based on Gustav Vasa’s, this race was an attempt to gather peasants for a revolt against occupying Danes in 1522.  After getting no support, Vasa fled, but the people of Mora changed their minds and sent their best skiers to bring him back.

Well, good luck Pippa and James:)  Hope you raise a lot of money for the starving children in England!

BeautyStyleWatch’s Six Best Beauty Looks at the 2012 Oscars

Posted by The Girls in the BSW Beauty Dept. on 27th February 2012

The votes are in and we’ve got the awards for the best hair and makeup of this year’s Oscars. From bold bangs to the prettiest pink lips, these are our top six beauty looks of the night.  Drum roll please………and the winners are….

Best overall: Gwyneth Paltrow. It may have been her dramatic white cape that first caught our attention, but it was Paltrow’s simple and stunning hair and makeup that earned her top honors. The Oscar winner’s sleek low ponytail, sun-kissed skin, and tiny twinkling studs (such a refreshing twist to the typical dripping-with-diamonds red carpet look) all came together perfectly.

 

Best risk-taker: Viola Davis. The emerald green shadow paired beautifully with her Vera Wang gown; her rich reddish crop (hubby Julius Tennon encouraged her to wear her hair natural!) was a breath of fresh air among the updos, wigs and extensions that typically steal the show. P.S.: The best actress nominee’s skin is stunning—we want whatever skincare she’s using like yesterday.

 

Best effortless hair: Jessica Chastain. A half-up, half-down hairstyle has the potential to look, well, really, really bad (think maid of honor hair). But Chastain’s stylist beat the odds. With a center part, tousled texture, and just the right amount of volume at the crown, it framed her face exquisitely.

Prettiest lips: Michelle Williams. Instead of matching her lips to her coral Vuitton dress, Williams went for a bright pink shade that was modern and totally sweet. The pop of color highlighted her porcelain skin and the glossy finish added a youthful effect to the best actress nominee’s look.

Just plain hot: Angelina Jolie. A dizzyingly high leg slit, glossy red lips, bombshell waves—the always-sexy star knows how to wow. She. Is. Smoking. And, yes, we are most definitely speed-dialing our stylist to get that that gorgeous golden brown hair color she debuted on the red carpet.

Most striking: Rooney Mara. Skipping her usual all-black attire, she turned heads with an unexpected pearl-colored Givenchy mermaid gown. But it was the bold statement above her neck that caught our eye: crazy-shiny raven hair, matte red lips and majorly fierce brows.

What do you think of our top picks?  Which actresses do you think stole the show?

Jessica Biel shows off her engagement ring at ‘Saturday Night Live’ after-party

Posted by BSW Buzz on 23rd February 2012

Jessica Biel should have worn her engagement ring sooner. A source who attended the “Saturday Night Live” after-party at Asellina early Sunday morning tells us that the actress’ engagement ring from Justin Timberlake, which she has never worn in public, was the talk of the soiree.

The guest says “SNL” alum Amy Poehler, who returned for a special appearance, and Kristin Wiig “loved the ring and chatted her up about it” at the Gansevoort Park hotel’s eatery.

Our insider says Biel and Timberlake — who reportedly got engaged in late December — were “very lovey” and “kissed a few times” at the shindig. The source adds that when Maya Rudolph, who hosted, made her entrance, she got a big round of applause from a crowd that included Jason Sudeikis, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sports Illustrated cover girl Kate Upton and Evan Rachel Wood.

Paula Abdul felt ‘used’ after being fired by Simon Cowell from ‘X Factor’

Posted by BSW Buzz on 23rd February 2012

Straight up, Paula Abdul was furious about Simon Cowell ’s decision to ax her from “The X Factor.”

Two sources used the same term to describe the singer/dancer’s reaction to learning she would not be back for a second season: “used.”

While Cowell and fellow “X Factor” judge Antonio (L.A.) Reid participated in a conference call Wednesday to discuss the future of the Fox show, sources close to Abdul revealed her anger about being relegated to the past.

A source who worked with Abdul on “X Factor” says “Paula went ballistic when she found out she wasn’t back” and “told Simon that she felt used.” The insider says she “screamed” at Cowell and the producers. “She didn’t take the news lightly at all.”

After reports broke last month that Abdul had been cut from the “X Factor” team, she released a statement to the press.  “Yes, it’s true; I won’t be returning to ‘The X Factor’ next season,” her statement read. “I’ve learned through my longevity in this industry that business decisions oftentimes override personal considerations.”

Abdul added that “The X-Factor” team had been “communicating about this for a while now” and that she had “absolute understanding of the situation.”

Behind the scenes, our source says, “Paula’s [handlers were] working overtime to control her and begged her to release the statement rather than rant and rave on Twitter and online like she wanted.”  Abdul, says the source, finally relented after “an incredible amount of persuasion from her team.”

The insider says Cowell, who bickered constantly with Abdul when they co-starred as judges on “American Idol,” hired the pint-size former pop star “to see if she would help draw ‘Idol’-sized ratings.”  Alas, Abdul “started to crumble again under the pressure of shooting a television show” and began displaying “unpredictable behavior.”

The statement Abdul released also noted that “Simon is, and will remain, a dear friend of mine.” A second source indicates that much is true.  This person agrees that Abdul “felt used,” but also notes that Cowell’s decision to replace her was “purely business,” from his perspective.

“They were friends” after “American Idol,” says the second source, adding that they probably will remain friends.  Our first source also notes Abdul is “much better off not on the show and is starting to do much better than she was while shooting.”

During Wednesday’s teleconference, Cowell addressed a question about Abdul’s departure by saying that she, fellow judge Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jones, who also won’t be returning “were gracious and respectful.”

“They are friends,” Cowell added, explaining that “our shows always have to evolve and in this case we did it sooner rather than later.”

“There wasn’t anything negative about them,” he said, noting “there are huge opportunities to work with all of them over the years and I think it will happen.”

‘Wanderlust’ star Jennifer Aniston on sexiness, BFF Paul Rudd, and being in her 40s

Posted by BSW Buzz on 20th February 2012

The first time Jennifer Aniston starred onscreen opposite Paul Rudd was in “The Object of My Affection,” when she played a pregnant single New Yorker and he was her gay BFF. That was 14 years ago. Now, as she squashes rumors of a bambino bump, courtesy of boyfriend Justin Theroux, saying “I’m not having triplets. Not having twins. Nor am I having one baby”, the ever-easy-on-the-eyes stars reunite for “Wanderlust,” opening Feb. 24. They play a Type-A couple who trade Manhattan for a commune.

On allure: “Being sexy can mean a lot of different things: It’s not just about being a physical bombshell.”

On being forty-something: “Whatever angst-y times I have had came after fame, which we know was after 22. When I was 22, I was having a ball. Being this side of 40 feels like what I should have felt being this side of 25 in my body, in my heart, happy with my life, and OK with whatever bumps in the road present themselves.” 

On relationships: “It’s a growing, literally living thing. There’s going to be growing pains, there’s going to be awkward moments — your lanky phase, your pimpled phase.”

Country singer Miranda Lambert slams Chris Brown during a concert, tells singer to ‘take notes’

Posted by BSW Buzz on 20th February 2012

Even though the Grammys seemed to herald his return, Chris Brown still has quite a few angry music lovers to answer to, most especially Miranda Lambert.

The country superstar made it clear that her feud with Brown, 22, is far from over during a show at the University of Massachusetts Thursday.

Prior to performing her song “Gunpowder and Lead,” Lambert, 28, brought out a neon green poster bearing the words “Take Notes Chris Brown” to let her fans know that she hasn’t dropped the ball in her campaign against the singer.

“Get a good picture now, put it on Twitter,” Lambert told the crowd. “I’ve been in a world of hurt with Chris Brown fans lately … but see, I just have to speak my mind because where I come from, beating up on a woman is never okay.”

According to E! Online, the singer then smirked, “So that’s why my daddy taught me early on in life how to use a shotgun.”

“Gunpowder and Lead,” a hit off Lambert’s 2007 album, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” is about a woman who prepares to shoot and kill her abusive husband just as soon as he’s released from jail.

Earlier in the week, Brown responded to haters with two messages on Twitter that have since been removed.

“HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now!  That’s the ultimate F–k OFF!” he wrote following an outpouring of outrage on the social networking site.

“I’M BACK SO WATCH MY BACK as I walk away from all this negativity #teambreezygrammy,” he later posted.

Both comments no longer appear on the singer’s Twitter feed.

In response to his tweets, Lambert posted a smug: “Oh and one more thing for all who are asking … I have a Grammy too.”

It seems all of her social climbing has landed her the new spotlight as the face of an upcoming scent by French fashion and fragrance house Rochas.  Her fashion website oliviapalermo.com earned her the newcomer of the year prize at the weekend’s Bloglovin’ Awards, will front the campaign for an upcoming perfume from the label.

“While Rochas has ingrained French roots, I think every woman can get the sense of joie de vivre and confidence in their style that the Parisians emanate.  I always like to be a bit more fashion-forward and playful in my style choices when I visit Paris.”

During Paris Fashion Week on February 29,  following the Rochas presentation, more details on the fragrance itself will be revealed.  BSW was told that the campaign looks set to follow the traditional aesthetic of the Procter & Gamble-owned brand.

Rochas, which relaunched its fashion division in 2009, was established in 1925 and is well known for its top-selling Eau de Rochas fragrance trio.  Palermo’s previous modeling jobs include campaigns for Spanish high street retailer Mango and Italian fashion brand Hogan.
