Michael Douglas is my favourite person of the day. While his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, chummed up to Angelina Jolie for a photo Michael Douglas took a moment to remind us why we love him.

Stacey: I love it.

PS.  It amazes me how run down Angie looks.  Everyone was raving about this look and this dress.  But when you put her beside CZJ it kind of puts her to shame, don’t you think?

Selma Blair is the latest celebrity to announce that she is pregnant.  Who cares, right?

Remember when celebs announcing they are expecting used to be exciting?  I do.  Because it was only like a month ago.  But now, after the slew of expectant baby mamas this past week, I am all babied out.

So, for the record, I officially no longer care about celebs announcing they are expecting.

With these exceptions:

• Angie and Brad announce they are having triplets and/or are adopting again
• Jennifer Aniston announces she is pregnant.  With any one’s baby (which, it seems, may be the next best thing to do for her career)
• Scarlett Johansson announces she is pregnant with Ryan Reynolds baby (I realize they are broken up…that’s why it would be awesome!)
• Sandra Bullock announces the is pregnant with Ryan Reynolds baby
• Selena Gomez announces she is preggo with Justin Bieber’s man child baby

So unless any of these senarios comes up, please don’t bother me with any more announcements, for I no longer care.

Tanya: Alicia Silverstone is pregnant now too.

Here is Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Rome for the premier of The Tourist.

I have to say, Angie, for once, looks pretty good.  The material of her pants is not the most flattering but over all, I think she looks great.

But what about Brad?  Holy Dinah.  He normally does not do it for me but he is a sexy beast in this picture.  Love it.  The scarf, the hat, the whole works!  As the old saying goes….when in Rome.

I know that saying doesn’t really fit here but I just wanted to say it.

Tanya: I agree with Brad Pitt looking pretty good but I’m not feeling Angelina Jolie so much today. It’s not that she looks bad, but I wouldn’t say that she looks great. There is just something about these two that I love. I think it’s the depth – they have so much going on individually and together, and they both have so much personality that I think they’d be really interesting to get to know. I just wouldn’t want to be asked to babysit. Six kids is too much for me.

Maybe Angelina Jolie wasn’t uncomfortable looking yesterday because she was standing next to Johnny Depp.  Maybe she was uncomfortable because she saw this giant standing in the corner waiting to get his picture taken with her.

FEE FI FO FUM!  I SMELL THE BLOOD OF AN ENGLISH MAN! BE HE ALIVE OR BE HE DEAD, I’LL GRIND HIS BONES TO MAKE MY BREAD!

Ok.  He’s not really a giant.  That is the director of The Tourist, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, which, BTW, is my new favorite name ever.

Seriously, how tall is this dude.  Angie is listed as 5’8 plus she is wearing heals.  So that guy has to be at least 6’8, maybe taller.  I was at the hockey game the other night and this guy sat in front of me that was insanley tall.  I asked how tall he was and he was 6’8, to which I marvelled.  Then asked if he ever gets tired of being asked how tall he is, to which he replied yes.  Then I suggested he just start asking people how tall they are.  So he did.  I’m 5’4.

Tanya: Did you check out this guys Wikipedia page? His full name is Florian Maria Georg Christian Graf Henckel von Donnersmarck and like the giant you saw at the game, Florian stands in at 6’8″. I would say something about this guy having the middle name Maria but I’m pretty sure he could crush my skull with his bare hands so I’m just going to let that one go.

Angelina Jolie & Johnny Depp got their game faces on for the premier of The Tourist in Berlin (their earlier event was a photo call, not a premier). This is what I was talking about earlier. Johnny Depp is wearing a suit (but still no smile) which makes him look like he cares a little more about the movie, while Angelina Jolie is bringing on the charm big time with lots of smiles (you barely even notice her 90s dress with the energy that’s coming off her face) and even Brad Pitt is doing his husbandly duty working the crowd (check out thumbnail 4 below).

Happy, smiley people make other people feel good which probably leads to a positive association of feelings with whatever they’re trying to promote. If these photos were promoting a different movie than the ones they did earlier, I’d go see this movie over the other one because it looks like they actually enjoyed themselves.

Stacey: OMG.  I super hate this dress.  But she looks amazing.  When The Jolie turns it on, no one can resist.  How can you not look at that face?

I love Johnny’s suit.  Although, I also love his pirate look.

I still don’t want to see this movie though.

Is Angie at the point where I can no longer suspend my belief to watch her in a movie and not be acutely aware that I am watching her and not the character?  I think, yes, maybe.

Here’s Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp premiering The Tourist in Berlin and if I had to guess what Angelina was thinking based on the look on her face it would be “Couldn’t you have at least dressed like you care about this?”. Or not. But they do not look like they’re on the same page at all.

The Tourist was #2 at the box office over the weekend which I think is pretty good but people are dumping all over it saying how it’s a complete and total failure. Whatever, it went up against a children’s movie that was released in 3D. Children’s movies = big box office numbers and 3D movies charge more so they generally bring in more money.

That said, The Tourist looks like it sucks. Has anyone seen it yet? How is it?

Stacey: Well, concidering the trailers I have seen for this were the sh*tz, I can’t imagine the movie is very good.  Also concidering this movie just got nominated for a Golden Globe, in the category of Comedy or Musical, I don’t think that bodes very well for it either.

I just don’t buy these two together and I can’t imagine them having much chemistry.

Tanya, I don’t understand why you always think Johnny Depp dresses like he doesn’t care.  Lets assume that this is a created persona, as you have previously stated.   The fact that he attempts to uphold this persona shows that he does indeed care.  Whether or not you like Johnny Depp doesn’t mean that other people also do not.  In fact, he is adored for the image that is put out there, real or created.  By dressing like this, he is definitely pandering to his fan base, because those are the ones that will (or won’t according to the performance of this movie) pay to see him.  I imagine that every single aspect of this outfit is thought out, much like Helena Bonham Carter or to the other end, someone like Zac Efron who plans every fold in his shirt and every wisp or his bangs.  While it may be reflective of her true personality, it is definitely amplifying it in order to make it more interesting.  Famous and “artistic” people have the luxury of being allowed to be more eccentric but perhaps they also create stranger versions of themselves in order to keep the real “them” for themselves and away from the public.

Just a thought.

Side note…I like the Jolie’s shoes.

Tanya: Oh no. I’m sure Johnny Depp put a LOT of thought into what he was wearing and I have no doubt that he carefully selected the bandana that is hanging out of his pocket and adjusted it’s length several times to get it “just right”. However, if Depp wants to sell this movie he needs to sex it up a bit. Put on a nice suit (almost all guys look hot in suits) and turn on the charm for the cameras. All these layers and accessories make it look as if he’s trying to hide from the attention and keep distance between himself and everything else. If he wants to sell this movie he needs to sell himself a bit too. It’s part of the game.

I also don’t buy that these two have any chemistry, but again that could be due to the awkwardness and avoidance that they’ve shown each other in the promotion of this movie. If I thought there might be some sort of allure, some sort of spark between them I might be more inclined to see this but I understand why they’re so hesitant to even stand next to one another at the premieres – people speculate. And both Angie and Johnny don’t want any more attention than they already get. This may be one of the few cases where the celebs are willing to sacrifice the box office numbers to maintain some sort of respect for their personal lives.

And for the record I DO like Johnny Depp. I just don’t like that this overly layered, withdrawn and almost fearful (I get a fear vibe from him) Johnny Depp is always toted as being the “sexiest” Johnny Depp. Also for the record I was hoping that The Tourist would do really, really well so that Johnny Depp would start to be in a wider variety of movies and not just ones directed by Tim Burton also starring Helena Bonham Carter. After awhile they all start to blur together and the characters could be pretty much interchangeable. Picture either the Mad Hatter or Willy Wonka as Sweeny Todd – you totally can, can’t you? I can.

It is well documented that I am not the biggest fan of The Jolie.  But no matter how much I dislike Angelina, there is no denying that this bitch is straight up gorgeous.  GORGEOUS!  Look at these photos.  And that face.  There is nothing quite like it.

Tanya: Totally. I like it when she has a movie to promote and we get all these photos shoots of her.

Heh, here’s a good one:

Angelina Jolie thinks Johnny Depp’s hot, hot, hot – but his smelly cigarette breath is not, not, NOT! Chain-smoker Depp admitted to pals that while they were filming The Tourist, Jolie made him chug-a-lug Listerine AND pop breath mints before all romantic scenes.

“I hate it, but I wanted to keep her happy,” said Depp, groaning that Jolie, who hates smoking and won’t allow it in front of her kids, even insisted he munch mints when he dined socially with her and Brad Pitt. (from the National Enquirer print edition via Celebitchy)

Translation: Angelina Jolie thinks Johnny Depp is stinky!!

But Brad Pitt totally smokes. Do you think she “insists” that Brad “munch on mints” when they go out for dinner or hang around the house? I doubt it. Double standards in kissing? Probably. Kissing someone you love who stinks is gross but doable. Kissing someone you barely know who stinks sounds pretty stomach turning.

I doubt this story. If anything, Johnny Depp probably took the initiative on the mints. If I were a smoker and had to make out with a non-smoking stranger I’d do the same.

Stacey: Mmmmm.  Ashtray make out session.  Yummy.

For the record, I would make out with Johnny Depp if he tasted like an ashtray.  And I wouldn’t care how it tasted.  Its Johnny Depp, people!

When is this going to stop? First Chelsea Handler called Angelina Jolie a cuntwhich led Stacey and I to debate how likely that is to be true (I say Chelsea is Jennifer Aniston’s new BFF so we can’t really go by what Chelsea says about Angie and Stacey thinks that Angie is probably a straight up cunt), and then Chelsea got a bit defencive and said that it was just an old joke and had nothing to do with Jen taking her to Mexico or now sharing the same publicist, and now today this:

KATIE COURIC: Is there anybody who really makes you laugh? A woman who really makes you laugh, other than me?
CHELSEA HANDLER:Jennifer Aniston makes me laugh. She’s irreverent and hilarious, and she sends me really, really funny e-mails.
KATIE COURIC: She’s funny?
CHELSEA HANDLER: Very.
KATIE COURIC: And speaking of that, wow, girl, you went off on Angelina Jolie recently.
CHELSEA HANDLER: Yeah, I’m not a fan. She just doesn’t come off to me as a sincere woman. She seems like a woman that you’d really want to avoid.

Jennifer Aniston is the funniest email sender around? What?

I stand by my previous points. Chelsea Handler is in a love fest with Jennifer Aniston. Her publicist saw that they could burn Angie and get a TON of press for both Jen and Chelsea so that’s what they’re doing.

Here’s my new headline: “Chelsey Handler and Jennifer Aniston find true love – with each other!”

Stacey: Ya, that is a bit much.  Maybe they are in love. 

Here’s my head line: “Chelsea and Jen Conspire to kidnap Brad from Angie”

Or or or: “Finally a Baby For Jen: Pregnant and Fabulous at 40.  Carrying 50 Cents Baby and how she and Chelsea plan to raise the baby together!”

Chelsea Handler be damned because Brad Pitt seems to be quite fond of Angelina Jolie.  Especially her ass.  And I guess that’s all that matters right?

Is it just me or does Brad really look like Benicio Del Toro in this picture?

Tanya: I can see it.

I love how this bum grab is a real bum grab and not just a hand on the rear. This is a full hand of squeezed booty. Do you think it still makes Angie get all excited or do you think she’s pissed that he keeps grabbing her butt in public?
