Bachelor Stuff

I'm almost done watching this weeks Bachelor episode. But before my review, remember when Courtney said she's just used to dating celebrities? Well, she had one particular celeb boyfriend. And, it's Jesse Metcalfe. Who? Oh, well, you don't know who he is? He was the gardener on Desperate Housewives. And some other things. I'm sure. I could look him up on IMDB but  I just don't want to. Here's this sweet pic for you though. 

Oh, Thank Goodness...

Looks like Avril and Brody are still together.

Phew.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to a friend and loyal blog reader. 

Here's to you B!

She's wearing a crown because she can.

Really, she can.

Rooney Mara Smiling!

Well, it's a start.

She looks great.

In white. In Tokyo.

I Haven't Watched...

Yet. But, you'll know it when I do. 

Because I will let you know how stupid I thought it was. 

I'm sure of it. 

March Vanity Fair

Rooney Mara, Mia Wasikowska, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jessica Chastain 

on the cover of "Fresh Young Stars of Hollywood" issue.

OH CUTE!

Will and Kate have a puppy!! This lil black Cocker Spaniel is their newest addition. Cute. 

Almost as cute as Judy Grrrrrland.

Maybe that's what that suspicious bump was months ago?

I kid.

Madonna Super Bowl

TMZ released a few pics of Madonna's Super Bowl halftime stage here in Indianapolis. Literally, just a few blocks away from where I type this. Anyway, the city is crazy. Even crazier than the energy right now? The weather...it's 60 something. It feels glorious.

Happy Birthday JT

Just so y'all know it's JT's 31st birthday.

Mazel.

For Those Of You Not Into Football...

You'll always have the commercials. 

Super Bowl commercials are a long tradition of big bucks  

and hopefully some hilarity. 

Well, I don't know how funny this is, but, 

David Beckham in his underwear will be on your
TV Sunday during the game. 

Watch it here. You can watch it a few times if you like.
I won't be able to tell. 

Happy Monday.

Holy Big Baby

Holy big baby. Got to say that again.

Kendall Stewardson had a baby boy that weighed 13 pounds, 13 ounces.

And she did it the all natural way.

Ohhhh. And Mazel.

Glee Gals

Lea Michele and Naya Rivera were bringing it to the
SAG Awards last night. 

Lea, in a high slit Versace, and Naya in a Naaem Khan gown.
Whom I'm semi-obsessed with. 

I'm gonna give this pose off to Naya.
You usually can't beat a Naaem Khan gown anyway.

So, not Lea's fault really. 

SAG Awards

The ladies were out n lovely at last night's SAG awards.

Kristen Wiig wore this gorgeous Balenciaga gown...

...and then she had to put on that AWFUL choker. It makes me crazy.

All the ladies in neutral I thought did a pretty good job. 

Except for that choker.

Zoe Saldana's dress is Givenchy Couture. Gorg. 

Whomever styled her did a great job...I would've loved to see this gown in person.

The ladies in black didn't really do it for me.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but, my fave in this group...

Ashlee Simpson in Jenny Packham.

Love the ladies not afraid of color.

Jessica Chastain's sleek Clavin Klein is my fave. Stunning.

And Kyra Sedgwick looks insane. She's in Pucci.

Marni at H&M

Cool. Marni for H&M hits stores March 8th. 

Prego Peeps

Remember when Beyonce was pregnant for about 3 months? Well, Hilary Huff has been pregnant for about 2 years....and Jessica Simpson, I don't know, she's been pregnant since 2009.

Here's Hil in LA.

Mama Can You Hear Me?

My brother's Godparents live in Chicago and have been my mom's best friends since high school. We saw them all the time growing up and I have many fond memories of them. My Godparents was my dads fraternity brother. He was cool. At my wedding, I barely recognized him, but, still, he sent good presents. Just saying. Anyway, there is a big debate about Oprah being the Godmother of Blue Ivy. Jay Z and Beyonce apparently have been already getting gifts for the lil divine one from O. Listen, good move on their part. Oprah can be my Godmother. (No offense) However, Gayle is saying it isn't true. Uh, why is this a big deal? And why would you lie about it? Huh. Not sure what the fuss is about.

Dinner In Paris

While I was watching Parks & Recreation 

last night the lovely Diane K was having dinner in Paris. 

People were gawking over this dress. 

I think she can do no wrong. Whatever she wants.

Fierrrrrceeee.

Cameron Diaz

Cam can look a little rough. 

But that's what late nights and partying will do to a lady. 

I mean a LOT of them.

Anyway, she's at Paris Fashion Week and looks lovely.

Perfectly pretty CD.

Extra

Jessica Alba on EXTRA at The Grove in LA. And her hubby with Honor out and about. 

Cute outfit. Brad Goreski (RZ's former assistant) is her stylist. 

katherine h

Katherine Heigl at the premiere of her latest movie. 

The one that has commercials playing where she says 

she shoots guns and does bounty hunter stuff.

Looks like an Oscar contender for sure.

Regardless, she looks hot here. Nice work.

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt is nominated for an Oscar for his performance in Moneyball. 

Pretty good film. I love sport movies. Love them.

However, I dont' know too much about baseball, so, that would've helped.

Brad was interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter.

A few things he had to say:

• On smoking weed: "I got really sick of myself at the end of the 1990s: I was hiding out from the celebrity thing; I was smoking way too much dope; I was sitting on the couch and just turning into a doughnut; and I really got irritated with myself. But that feeling of unease was growing and one night I just said, ‘This is a waste.’ I just quit. I stopped grass then — I mean, pretty much — and decided to get off the couch."
• On marrying Angelina: "We’d actually like to, and it seems to mean more and more to our kids. We made this declaration some time ago that we weren’t going to do it till everyone can. But I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment. I’m not going to go any further, but to be in love with someone and be raising a family with someone and want to make that commitment and not be able to is ludicrous, just ludicrous."
• On his leg injury: "I was just walking in our backyard, on a hill, carrying my daughter, and I slipped — and it was those parental instincts: me or her. And she’s fine."

Bethenny Is Getting Her Own Talk Show

Well, Frankel got her own talk show. Courtesy of Ellen. It'll run 6 weeks this summer. Huh. 

Like Oprah, who 'discovered' and then promoted 

Suze Orman, Rachel Ray, Dr Oz...Dr Phil, Nate Berkus..

Ellen wants to do the same. I enjoyed Bethenny when her and Jill were friends on 

Real Housewives of New York

and she seemed like she had some sort of soul.

Now, I'm not so sure.

It'll be interesting to see how people will receive it.

Thoughts?

PEOPLE

I'm assuming most of the goss mags will have 

Heidi and Seal on the cover this week.

Friends say they were very good at acting over the top in love.

When couples have to tell people ALL THE TIME

how in love they are, there is usually something going on.

Doth protest to much...er, something like that.

See Will and Jada Smith for an example.

SJP's Cute Tots

Using the word 'tots' makes me feel like Nancy Grace but it felt appropriate here. 

Here is Sarah Jessica with her sweet lil ladies Loretta and Tabitha. 

SO CUTE.

Miranda Kerr

When I'm having a good day..the hair is voluminous, the numbers on the scale work for me, 

everyone is happy...the coffee is the best...by the way, I realize that I'm saying a good day for me is good hair and not feeling fat, but, hey, I'm being honest. It's true sometimes.

Anyway, in my head, I feel that I look like this.

I'm fantasticly Miranda Kerr with awesome outfits and designer bags...

and hair that I don't have to highlight. Oh, and hot long skinny legs.

Here's to having more Miranda Kerr days.

I Love Me Some O.C

The original OG Housewives are from the OC. 

Granted, the only 'original' left if Vicki, but,
you can't take that away from her. 

The new season starts Tues Feb 7th.

A few things you should know:

*Tamra got her implants taken out. She is no longer a double D! 

Yeah, she was a double D y'all.

*There is a new housewife, Heather Dubrow and her hubby is a Newport Plastic Surgeon.

*A big focus this season is on Vicki and Don's divorce..
and Vicki's new boyfriend.

*Also...Tamra and Gretchen are supposedly friends now. That's weird.

Stay tuned. I'm sure there will be some new and old feuds ignited.

The void of Bev Hills must be filled with their neighbors in the OC.
What's your favorite housewife city?

Paris Fashion Week

The Chanel show. Glorious. Setup like guests are in an airplane.

Obviously.

I Know You've Heard...

That Emily Maynard is the new Bachelorette. Thoughts?

What Ben Really Means...

When Ben says "We have good chemistry..."
that means he wants to have sex with you. 

I'm so confused, when the conversation isn't going well, no laughing, etc. 

that the girl always says "I'm really falling for Ben." 

Uh, WHY? Why would you want to work that hard? 

Is it just because they are competitive? 

I'm talking about you Rachel. 

She seems cool, but, Ben keeps saying things like 

"small spark" and "slow burn." 

Oh my. Is it a forest fire or a date?

Let's get to Ben on the horse. 

"Here comes our prince riding in on a horse..
hair flowing in the wind..."

Cut to Ben with his greasy nappy hair barely flapping off the side of his face.

Courtney, who looks like a dark haired Jessica Simpson is ridiculous. 

You can tell she spends most of her time looking in the mirror.

And why does she talk like that? It's horrible. 

I want to rip her lips off. I need to calm down.

But Ben LOVES her. Trust. And nobody says "Winning" anymore. 

Nobody said it in the first place actually.

Jen's date. The plunge. Awesome.

How "127 Hours" of you Bachelor producers.

In fact, I want to go find that place and jump in it.

The worst part about this date - all the 'plunge' puns.

WAIT A SECOND! Blakely can do highlights?! New best friend.

I'd forbid Ben to get rid of her.

There is a point in the evening when all the 'ladies'

turn into truckers. Actually, no offense to truckers. 

Get it together ladies. 

Take a step back and realize what you're getting into.

I know that I said during Ashley's season 

that I would marry Ben based on his free and unlimited access to wine. 

I've changed my mind. There is too much grease there. Literally.

The Bachelor Recap...

I'll get to that in a minute, but, just as I'm feeling Park City homesick all those Bachelor chicks are there! Rude. Anyway, they are at the Canyons Resort which I've skied at plenty o times. If you haven't been to Park City, you should totally go. Personal picture alert. 

Down the road from The Canyon's Resort...at Deer Valley.

They have free concerts every Wednesday night. The Canyon's has free shows too.

Picnic. This may be at The Canyon's.

Mazel.

Back to Bachelor Ben in a second. 

Y'all know he has a 'video' online? Uh, just google it. I can't even post it.

It's scary. And ridiculous. He's so sensitive. Oy.

More Sundance

John & Emily. Happily married I believe. Enjoying Sundance. 

Twitter

If you are on Twitter and want to follow me I'm @CaraKneer. 

Thanks y'all. 

I often make fun of Brad and Angie because, well, 

they can appear to look

more wax-like than human. 

However, here they look fantastic.

This was taken on the red carpet at the Producer Guild Awards.

Steven Tyler Sings...

I love how every blog is asking 

"Did Steven Tyler do a good job singing The National Anthem?" 

Uh, no. Did you expect him to? It's Steven Tyler people. It ain't Whitney Houston. 

I don't see what the big deal is? 

Paris Fashion Week

Kicked off this morning in Paris. 

Cameron Diaz and Miss Diane Kruger were at the Versace show in black and white. 

Tres chic.

Laura & Danny At Sundance

Let's play fun facts with this Sundance pic! Danny Masterson is  married to Bijou Phillips (not pictured, obviously). Laura Prepon, standing next to Danny was almost a 'Masterson' so to speak. She is in the new Chelsea Handler sitcom..as Chelsea Handler. She was engaged to Danny's brother, Chris. They are all Scientologists. Danny actually owns a bar (with various other famous people) in Park City that is a small, nice venue and has good DJ's from time to time. The hubby and I saw Samantha Ronson (not that great of a DJ really) and the aforementioned Danny, who's DJ name is 'DJ Mom Jeans.' Hilar. 

Anyway, this picture prompted me to tell y'all this info. I'm not sure why or if it is relevant to Sundance.  I've eaten a lot today. 

Pics From Sundance...

Two of my favorite actors on one of my favorite shows. 

Aziz Ansari and Rashida Jones whom are currently on Parks & Recreation. 

They were at the premiere of Celeste and Jesse Forever.

You know Rashida's dad is Quincy Jones right?

He was there too. Love.

A Lil Late...

Heidi and Seal are getting divorced. Sad! 

I've heard, allegedly Seal is to blame. 

Mainly because there weren't even any rumors about these two, 

people seem to think that Seal cheated and Heidi is PISSED. 

Rightfully so. And Seal, really? 

You cheated on Heidi Klum? (If it's true) That's not normal.

Anywho, poor kiddos. 

Way To Go Jude!

Look y'all! Jude Law isn't wearing a hat. 

And you look good Judes. Bald is sexy. Trust.

Oh, and how naughty does Guy Richie look?

Very.

I Forgot To Mention

Nene Leakes on GLEE. Perfection.

Also, may I just say that if I were to wake up one morning and be on the set of GLEE...

I would then know that I had died and gone to heaven.

I'm very dramatic today.

Miss Piggy On Project Runway

Last night the All-Star designers had to design a dress for Miss Piggy.

I know it's hard to remember that Project Runway is on Lifetime. 

Anyway, this season has these memorable designers 

Austin, Rami, Kenley, Mondo, April...Anthony...Mila...

I kept thinking about Cynthia and how she would've LOVED this challenge. 

She would've won. Just saying. 

Sundance Film Festival Withdrawl

The film festival starts today. Having been in and around it the last few years I feel sad that I can't go. Plus, it doesn't help when I look out the window as I sit in my condo at the Philips 66 gas station. 

Not mountains. I'm in a mood today.

Oh, Happy Friday!

Lauren Scruggs

On a serious note, model Lauren Scruggs, 

whom suffered horrific injuries after walking into a helicopter propeller 

after a Christmas Lights sightseeing tour in Dallas is doing better.
