This under-30 actress thinks that she is getting a marriage proposal for Christmas!

"She is sure that that is when he is going to propose. She has booked hair and makeup for early Christmas morning. When it happens and photos are taken, she wants to look her best. She is also practicing her surprised expression."

OK, except… his friends say it’s not going to happen. Maybe next year?

Alison Brie Changes Things Up

Alison Brie recently sat down for an interview with Net-a-Porter's The Edit. Here's what she had to say:

On what drew her to her role in GLOW:
“I’d really been wanting to do something where I looked totally different, because I felt like in all the roles I’d done in the past, I’d always looked the same. Nobody would ever let me cut my hair. Every job that I’d get, I’d be like, ‘Maybe she has a short, blond bob?’ And they’d say, ‘What? No! You’re gonna look how you look, that’s why we cast you to do the part.’” 

On how training for her role in GLOW changed her:
“It’s not just, ‘Oh, we got in amazing shape for this show, so I feel great.’ It was more about learning to use our bodies in this totally different way. It really changed the way I felt about my body. It felt so empowering and exciting, and it proved that we were capable of so much more than we expected. GLOW is such a body-positive show; all of the women on it feel really comfortable in their bodies, and that is such a healthy thing to be surrounded by.”

On husband Dave Franco:
“We spent the first few years of our relationship on opposite sides of the world, because I was shooting TV shows that were based here [in LA], and he was shooting movies that were in Berlin, London, places like that. It was kind of great, because on my breaks I could travel the world, but it’s hard to be apart from your partner, so to shoot this with him and James was very special.”

Maria Menounos Gives Health Update

Maria Menounos is on the cover of Women's Health Magazine. Here are some highlights from her accompanying interview:

On how having a brain tumor has changed her:
"This whole thing has been such a gift. This happened for a reason. I'm a communicator...Before the brain tumor, I was super Type A. I was on top of everything. I would know when your birthday was and make sure you had your flowers. I was everything to everyone, but nothing to myself. I didn't know it at the time, but there was no self-compassion, no self-love. I didn't think I deserved it. I was too busy being, like, 'Shit! I've got to get to my five o'clock appointment, then my seven o'clock, then feed the dogs, and, oh my god, I've got to wake up and do this and this... ' I had become a machine.

I started setting boundaries after my mom's diagnosis. One day I found myself telling her, 'Hold on, I can't talk right now. I've got to... ' Then I realized: I'm telling my mom, who has stage IV brain cancer, to hold on?! That's not okay. That's when I said, 'Things have to change. I'm going to spend time with her.' And I did. I no longer scheduled anything after 4 p.m. I would say, 'Mom, I'm going home, and we'll watch Dancing with the Stars, eat dinner, and have fun.' I felt so happy, like, 'I'm not a machine—I'm a human!' But I'm also not perfect, so things would creep up and people would creep in. They want things and you feel guilty, so you do them. The universe took notice: 'I'm going to throw a bigger rock at your head now and really put a stop to this.'"

On getting diagnosed:
"I hadn't had a primary-care physician in eight, nine years. Do you know how many times I postponed the MRI that found my tumor? At least three times! Just a few months after we found my mom's brain cancer, I started having similar symptoms: blurred vision, light-headedness, headaches. I was having trouble speaking. But my mom's tumor was growing, and I thought, I don't have time to deal with my own issue, whatever it is. We're so empathetic with everyone except ourselves. You see a sick person who's family, a friend, a colleague, and you say, 'How can I help you?' But if it's you, it's, 'I don't have time for you, illness!' My symptoms got so bad, though, that I had to deal with it.

When I found out about my tumor, I didn't cry. I was told there was a good chance the tumor was benign, but to know for sure, I needed brain surgery. Dr. Keith Black, my neurosurgeon, called with two potential dates. I said, 'Well, June 8th is my birthday, and I'm thinking about this as a rebirth, so that's perfect!'


The only time I cried was when I told people. I had tried IVF, so the first thing my parents and friends thought when I called with news was, 'You're pregnant!' I had to say, 'No, it's not good news.' The hardest part was telling my inner circle, people like Vin Diesel, Tony Robbins, Wilmer Valderrama. But they were wonderful. They told me how much I mean to them—things people usually say at your funeral, but I got to hear them while I am alive. Wilmer said, 'Maria, you're a mama bear. You take care of us. You never ask for anything.' I'm like, 'Are you talking about me?' I didn't even realize what or who I was, because I was so focused on work and trying to be perfect."

On her fiance Kevin:
"Keven's been my savior. He never left my side in the hospital. I was crying, 'I just want to get married! I want to have kids!' I've been pushing the wedding thing, but he said, 'Listen, I'm working on something.' For a minute, the type A came right back: 'You can't surprise me with a wedding! I need a dress!' But he said, 'You're on a need-to-know basis.' I think he really doesn't want me to stress.


Would you believe me if I told you that the brain tumor is the best thing that ever happened to me? It's freed me from all of that anxiety of having to be perfect. You can't control everything; leave it to God and just say, 'Okay, this is my journey.'"

Blind Gossip Blind Item - That Fucking Christmas Tree

This busy acting couple was shopping for a Christmas tree last weekend.

"They got in a big fight. She wanted this one tree, but he kept saying no. He was yelling, “Don’t be ridiculous! I’m not paying $500 for a fucking Christmas tree! Only an idiot would do that!” She was yelling, “Only an idiot would be so fucking cheap! It’s Christmas, for fucks sake! It’s only once a year!” Then they seemed to realize I was standing close enough to hear them, so they moved farther away and kept their voices lower but they kept fighting. Actually, I was more surprised that they were swearing at each other than anything. They always seemed too nice to swear!"

Our couple is over 40… and it is a little disconcerting to think of them screaming and swearing at each other. Why? He always plays the nice guy.

Fast Food Tips From Ina Garten

Ina Garten recently sat down for an interview with the Today Show, where she was asked about fast food. Here's what she had to say, as reprinted by People:

“I have to say I don’t eat fast food at all, with one exception. When we’re in California doing book tours, we always have to go to In-N-Out burger. It’s so good and I know it was Julia Child’s favorite too, so it’s okay.” 

And on what she would have for her last meal:
“It’s gonna be a hot dog at Frenchie To Go in Paris. It’s unbelievable. Maybe with french fries, since it’s the last meal.”

On her biggest cooking inspiration:
“I would have to say that Julia Child’s my biggest culinary inspiration because she really taught me how to cook through her cookbooks. I learned how to make hollandaise sauce the right way, and then she showed me how to make it the quick way without losing any of the quality.”

On what she likes hearing the most from her fans:
“The thing I like the most is when people stop me and say, ‘You taught me how to cook.' Because I’m not a trained professional chef, I think I really understand how hard it is for someone who’s working and has kids and friends and houses to take care of to actually find the time to make dinner. It’s not easy.”

The Gallagher's Christmas Miracle

Liam Gallagher recently sat down for an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, where he had this to say about the status of his relationship with his brother Potato, oops, I mean Noel:

"I got a little thing through the door from his management team and so I think there's been a bit of a reach-out and a bit of a truce. It's all good - season of goodwill and all that, you know? All is good in my neck of the woods." 

On whether or not this means that Oasis is reuniting:
"God no, no. Oasis isn't getting back together, not at all. I'm doing my thing, he's doing his thing and that is the end of it. It's still the same - it's just that I've called a truce on it and he's called a truce on it and no more slagging."

On what this truce means:
"I'm gonna not be as naughty as I am on the Twitter and slag him of. You've gotta try sometimes, haven't you? Who's to say the wheels won't fall off again - but you've gotta try. And all is good in my neck of the woods. I'm gonna try and see Noel at Christmas."

On the interviewers suggestion that he should fly by private jet:

"God no, mate - my name's not Noel Gallagher."

Don't ever change, Liam!

Blind Gossip Blind Item - The Sweet Comeback

A decade ago, this pretty actress was enjoying a very healthy career. She landed a big role on a hit TV series and was soon deluged with multiple film lead offers. For several years, there was no doubt that she was one of the most in-demand actors on the planet.

Yes, she and her manager were a bit demanding – as well as overly protective of her personal life – but it all got really ugly when her TV producer (who possesses quite the nasty streak) turned against her. She got fired.

Disaster. Her career stalled out. She went from film star back to trying to land a TV series.

She’s feeling more confident again and has a plan.

"She’s looking to make a comeback as a film star. Look for her to be much sweeter to the media and much more open about her personal life over the next few months so people can feel more connected to her."

Dating Tips From Eminem

Eminem recently sat down for an interview with Vulture. Here are some highlights from that interview:

This interview will run after the album’s been out for a few days. In all likelihood, Revival will sell well
"That’s what happens every album with me."

Okay, so if we know that’s going to happen, what other signs are you looking for that will make you feel encouraged or discouraged by the album’s reception?
"I don’t know, I’ve always felt in touch with the people who listen to my music. I make it for them. Anybody else, fuck ‘em. It’s fine if critics or whoever keep thinking I’m not as good as I was. So what I’m looking for — whatever the response or the sales — is things I did right or things I could’ve improved musically. I’m critical of myself and I’m always trying to figure out how to do better. I certainly have not had a perfect career. I’ve put out bad albums."

Which ones are you thinking of?

"Encore was mediocre, and with Relapse — it was the best I could do at that point in time. [Relapse] was a funny album for me because I was just starting back rapping after coming out of addiction. I was so scatterbrained that the people around me thought that I might have given myself brain damage. I was in this weird fog for months. Like, literally I wasn’t making sense; it had been so long since I’d done vocals without a ton of Valium and VicodinAround 2002, Eminem began using Ambien, Valium, and extra-strength Vicodin. After the death of his friend the rapper Proof in a club shooting in 2006, he was consuming “40 to 60 Valium” and “maybe 20, 30” Vicodin a day. In December of 2007, after introducing methadone to the habit, he overdosed and missed Christmas with his children, prompting his path toward sobriety. . I almost had to relearn how to rap."

One of things that was so compelling about you back in the day was how you’d take shots at pop stars, which is something you don’t really do anymore. Why not? Isn’t Ed Sheeran, who’s on the new album, exactly the kind of musician you would’ve had fun with in the early 2000s?
"I don’t think so. He’s not a boy band, he’s an artist whose craft I respect. The reason that I went at pop stars back then is because people were calling me a pop rapper. What’s bugged out to me is that — I don’t know if everybody understands this — if everybody could do what I did, they’d just do it wouldn’t they? I’m not this manufactured pop thing and I never was. A way people used to dismiss me was to call me pop. I got mad about that, and I lashed out."

How has your experience of fame changed over your career?

"I’ve learned to deal with it better. A lot of the problems I had with fame early on were because I was in very heavy addiction and didn’t realize it. By the time I did realize it, it was too late — I was so far gone. I had a hair-trigger temper, too, and the littlest things could trigger it. That’s definitely better now. I used to get in fights over road rage and stuff. What I’m trying to say is that I’ve settled in with myself and with fame. I’m growing, man. I’m getting more mature and I’m okay with that."

Do you date?
"It’s tough. Since my divorce I’ve had a few dates and nothing’s panned out in a way that I wanted to make it public. Dating’s just not where I’m at lately."

When you were dating, how’d you meet people? Tinder?
"I mean, yeah."

Are you being serious?
"Yeah, Tinder."

Really?
"[Laughs] And Grindr. I also used to go to strip clubs."

I think a lot of long-term relationships start in strip clubs.
"What can I say? Going to strip clubs is how I was meeting some chicks. It was an interesting time for me."

Is fame lonely for you?

"Am I lonely? No, I’m good. Thanks for asking though."

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Sick Excuses

This over-13 but under-30 multi-hyphenate is always trying to control the narrative. Whether it’s about who she’s dating or why she is in rehab, it’s always about constructing a story to make her look innocent.

Today, she is trying to control the narrative around a female family member who had a bit of a medical emergency.

The family is saying it is because of something the girl did… but the girl is begging the relative to change her story and make up other reasons why she fell ill.

Why? So our girl can once again act like the innocent one!

Catt Sadler Departs E! Over Pay Gap

Page Six reports that Catt Sadler's recent departure from E! News was due to the great pay disparity between Sadler and her co-anthor Jason Kennedy, who makes twice her salary. Sadler recently wrote on her website:

“I have two decades experience in broadcasting and started at the network the very same year as my close friend and colleague that I adore. But how can I operate with integrity and stay on at E if they’re not willing to pay me the same as him? Or at least come close? How can I accept an offer that shows they do not value my contributions and paralleled dedication all these years? How can I not echo the actions of my heroes and stand for what is right no matter what the cost? How can I remain silent when my rights under the law have been violated?”

Us Weekly reports that model and actress Karrueche Tran, 29, and NFL player Victor Cruz, 31, are dating. A source says of the couple, “They are dating and have been for about a month now. They really like each other and are trying to make it work and see where it goes. They were and have been friends for a while and she was at his private birthday dinner in November. They aren’t exclusive yet, but it’s definitely in the works.”

Another source states,
“Victor and Karrueche have been hooking up for a long time. The timing was just never right and they were never in the same place at the same time. Now she has a lot more free time and for the time being so does he, so they are doing their best to make things work. She’s super into him and he’s head over heels for her. It’s adorable and she’s loving it.”

Tran previously dated Chris Brown; they broke up for the last time in March 2015, and the most recent restraining order she obtained against him was in May of this year.

"[One of the stars of the show] wants a huge salary bump. She thinks that the show can’t survive without her. She is the one spreading the various rumors about her leaving and the show ending and about how many opportunities she has waiting for her, thinking it will force producers to pay more for her. She has actually been doing this for a year now. It’s very annoying to the rest of the cast. They like having a steady gig."

Sophia Bush Talks Leaving Her Dream Job

Sophia Bush recently appeared on Refinery29's podcast, where she addressed her exit from Chicago PD. Here's what she had to say, as reprinted by E! News:

"I don't have to give everyone the specific break down of exactly why I left until I'm ready to do that. But, the overarching theme for me, was that I landed my dream job. I landed this job that, since I was 20 years old and trying to become an actor, I said I wanted. And aspects of it, don't get me wrong, were wonderful. But, I realized…by the end of the second season I couldn't do that job anymore.

I [went to my Chicago PD bosses between seasons three and four and] said, ‘Here's where we are. Here's everything you're aware of. Here's how I'm coming to you today. If something really drastic doesn't change, I'm leaving at the end of the year' — because I understand how the business works and how women are treated — I said, ‘I'm giving you not two weeks notice and I'm not coming in here throwing shit and breaking lamps and saying I'm never coming back. I'm giving you 23 episodes notice. I'm giving you that much time. So there will be no conversation in which I was hysterical, emotional, in which I was being a quote irrational female or whatever you want to put on it. I'm literally sitting in front of you like cool as a cucumber. If this has to be like a big swinging dick competition, I promise you I will win. But know this now: if we're not having a very different conversation by Christmas, then you know with 100 percent certainty in December that come the end of April I'm leaving.'

...it was so liberating and I immediately felt like these steel anvils had been pulled off my chest. And it was then that I realized I had been drowning and it was then that I knew just how miserable I was going to work every day.

What you start to realize is that—like if your house was burning down, you wouldn't hang out inside because your brother was in there and you loved him. You'd be like, ‘Yo, I love you. Let's get out of this house!' For me, not to put it on anybody else, but for me, it felt like I was trapped in a burning building. I was just so unhappy and it was my dream job and I was miserable and I had to go."

This film actor thinks he is so smart and that his opinions on everything are so good and so insightful that everyone should hear them.

Want to know the one thing he will never talk about? The significant other he gave up just as his career was taking off!

This was many years ago. He was told that if he wanted action or romantic lead roles, he needed to downsize his baggage and played it straight. So he did exactly that.

Matt Damon Won't Stop Mansplaining Sexual Harassment

Matt Damon won't shut up. He was recently asked by Business Insider if he would work with someone who has been accused of sexual harassment. Here's what he had to say:

"That always went into my thinking. I mean, I wouldn't want to work with somebody who — life's too short for that. But the question of if somebody had allegations against them, you know, it would be a case-by-case basis. You go, 'What's the story here?'"

And hey, if (alleged) rapist Russell Simmons wants a friend to start his #NotMe movement, it looks like he can call up Matt Damon!
“We’re in this watershed moment and it’s great, but I think one thing that’s not being talked about is there are a whole shitload of guys — the preponderance of men I’ve worked with — who don’t do this kind of thing and whose lives aren’t going to be affected. If I have to sign a sexual harassment thing, I don’t care, I’ll sign it. I would have signed it before. I don’t do that and most of the people I know don’t do that.”

Methinks Matt Damon and I have different definitions of the word "most." Tune in next week, for more Mansplaining with Matt Damon!
