[LaineyGossip.com - Calling all smuthounds!] Monday, July 18, 2016 [Intro for July 18, 2016] [Johnny Depp of Hollywood Vampires performs at Ford Ampitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk on July 10, 2016 in Brooklyn, New York] Dear Gossips, Johnny Depp is in a band called The Hollywood Vampires – we know this. But… did we know that The Hollywood Vampires are actually a COVER band?!? I didn’t know until Friday afternoon, when I read [this show review] of the COVER band following their performance at Casino Rama last week. It was laughter on a slow build into hysterics. Ha. Haha. HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAAH… A COVER band! You know why this is news (beyond the fact that nobody cared enough to do the research)? It’s because they call themselves a “supergroup”. Even Rolling Stone [referred to them as a “supergroup”], which now feels like a strategic move so as to avoid being called what they actually are: a COVER band! I hope that brings you as much happiness as it has brought me. Also… good morning and Happy Gossip Christmas! Real Christmas happens only once a year. Gossip Christmas happens throughout the year, every time celebrities decide to be assholes, especially when celebrities decide to be assholes to each other. I woke up to the most wonderful gossip gift under the gossip tree today, overcome with joy and panic at the same time. Joy because we get to ride this sh-t on top of all the Swoki sh-t we’ve been riding all month but also panic because the way my schedule works today I’m on radio and breakfast show hits for three straight hours so I’m rush-writing in between my other jobs and I’ll get that post up as soon as I can, I promise. Please keep refreshing.

I’ve always said it—twenty years ago The Greater Hemsworth is a slam-dunk sell, but these days, he’s just one more beefcake body in superhero tights, among an army of beefcake bodies in superhero tights. But then he took a support role in Ghostbusters and held his own with some legit powerhouse comedic talent, and suddenly the answer is obvious: Chris Hemsworth should star in comedies. (There’s something coming down the pipe soon that will definitively prove this.) Despite the biceps and Aussie surfer vibe, he isn’t an action star. He’s a comedy grunt. So it makes no sense at all that he’s going to co-star in Star Trek 4. Paramount announced this morning that Hemsworth will join Chris-version-Pine in the fourth Star Trek movie. There’s no director and no release date, but just days before Star Trek Beyond opens, they’re committing to another installment in the Trek franchise, which, let’s be honest, is not a barn burner. At this point, Hemsworth has no real reason to go back to Star Trek—he cameoed in the 2009 reboot as Captain Kirk’s dad—and given his recent comedy epiphany, it feels like a step back. I assume the money is good—Hemsworth’s rep team are STONE COLD SHARKS—but what is in it for him beyond that? Another mediocre action movie is not going to do half of what Ghostbusters just did for him. But what if this is going to reboot the reboot? What if Star Trek 4 is an undercover comedy, not unlike the current approach to Thor: Ragnarok? A few months ago, when people started seeing Ghostbusters, buzz started building that Hemsworth was really funny in it. And Marvel hired a comedy guy to handle Hemsworth’s next outing as Thor, and everyone went, “Huh?” Except that there was some low level smug coming from Marvel, like they had figured something out no one else had. And now I’m wondering if Paramount has cottoned on as well, that Chris Hemsworth should star in comedies. (Chris Pine, too, is an underused/appreciated comedic talent—he was one of the big surprises and joys of Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp.) What if Star Trek 4 is a time-travelling road trip comedy in space? That has some potential. And let’s say it all comes together and this movie actually turns out good. Chris Hemsworth would get the credit for “saving” Star Trek. Maybe that’s lure enough. [Source] Attached - Chris in Australia with wife Elsa Pataky last week.

[#i miss you so much !!

He should take cues from Kevin Hart and The Rock – both of them have the most upbeat social media posts. But I think theirs work because they are genuine. [I think we can all get better! I truly believe people can change and I want to be a shining example of changing for the better!!

[Back to where it all began - Lake Como, Italy - first came here in 2007. A boat tour guide took us to a little spot on the lake and told us to make a wish. I asked for this to be the man I marry and have children with. I think John asked for the most perfect bite of cacio e pepe. Both came true, and here we are.] A photo posted by chrissy teigen (@chrissyteigen) on Jul 17, 2016 at 12:37am PDT Can you imagine how much Andy Cohen is enjoying all the social media drama? He knows good dish. (John, someone I’m guessing falls under Calvin’s mention of ETC, is probably having a good chuckle as well.)

I imagine Evan is pretty pleased today – the biggest gossip story of the year was shared on his platform.

(There won’t be a Hall H Star Wars presentation this year, and one wonders how long before Disney starts doing this for Marvel, too.) There wasn’t much actual news to come out of the event—we already knew about [Alden Ehrenreich] and Han Solo—but they did drop a bunch of new images and footage from Rogue One, which [may or may not be in trouble]. We won’t know how Rogue One turns out till we see it, but the “Celebration Reel” released over the weekend goes a long way to making me feel good about it. Like they did with A Force Awakens, the reel takes us behind the scenes of the production, with a particular emphasis on all the practical effects being used—I imagine the employees at LucasFilm gather once a week to stand in a circle around a pyre of burning Jar-Jar figurines chanting, “Not George Lucas, not the prequels”. But their ritual Gungan sacrifices must be working, because Rogue One looks fresh and gorgeous and the beach setting, on the new planet Jedah, doesn’t look like anything we’ve seen from Star Wars before. It sort of looks like Stormtroopers vacationing at Sandals, but I’m really into Rogue One being actual universe expansion, and not just a rehashing of previous stories already told. But don’t worry, there will still be familiar things in Rogue One, including Darth Vader. Someone bootlegged a new trailer—likely to be stuck on either Jason Bourne or Suicide Squad—which has already been pulled down, but it showed Vader in all his returning glory. James Earl Jones is once again providing the voice, which ought to comfort the [nostalgia crowd] who don’t like new, reimagined things. I’m holding out hope for Rogue One (no pun intended). I’m a big fan of the director, Gareth Edwards—shove your Godzilla complaints, his version is [fantastic]- and the story looks like mostly new characters doing mostly new things in a context connected to the original story. A new heroine, a diverse cast, the fantastic capes everyone is wearing, that it looks like a “Star Wars in Bermuda” travelogue—there’s a lot of fun stuff on display already. Here’s hoping Rogue One delivers.

And parties in LA are changing. Because his wife is walking around recording everything – [that seventh room access he gave her] was one of the keys to how she’s shaking up the celebrity ecosystem. In the aftermath to what happened last night, other celebrities are now taking sides. [The Shade Room] has been on it from the beginning, keeping track of who’s on Team This and who’s on Team That. And who’s trying to be all like, there are other more important things to focus on. Thanks Chloe Grace. People are now analysing [Taylor]’s Instagram response note, [coming up with theories] about when she drafted it and how long she’s been preparing for it. Taylor has enjoyed a level of popularity that never lasts. Eventually the [even-up always comes]. It’s a fact of feng shui and, well, life. How, then, does she recover? Because she will recover. As I’ve already mentioned, not even a shark can take down a girl like Taylor Swift. So what’s the strategy? It’ll be a while before she’s ready to release a full album. A one-off song is possible. She’s definitely creatively capable of a response track with a catchy hook and an accompanying video featuring her boyfriend. Or, you know, just more pictures of her, out like she’s unfazed, holding hands with her boyfriend…with a ring on her finger? That’s a desperate f-cking move though. If that’s what she ends up coming with, I’ll get in line to call it an act of desperation. My recommendation, if I were PR-advising her, I’d tell her to have a very, very quiet August. To disappear, skip the MMVAs even, until she accompanies [Tom Hiddleston] for the red carpet premiere of Swoki at the Emmys. At which point she can claim that she’s been in a “love cocoon” for weeks and let the media take care of the rest. If she can. If she can help herself. Here’s Tom out for a jog today and heading out for takeout the other night. [Click here for the rest of the photos.] Posted at 5:40 PM [Mrs West’s Gossip Power] [Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and Kanye West's wife ] I'm living' in that 21st century Doing something mean to it Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it I guess every superhero need his theme music Those are the opening lyrics to [Kanye West]’s Power – written about himself, obviously, but applicable to his wife. I do not post about his wife or her family. But, in the 21st century, in gossip, even I can’t deny that she’s doing something mean to it. Mrs West understands the celebrity gossip cycle, probably better than most real celebrities, save Beyoncé and Brange. And [Mrs West] used that gossip cycle to step to [Taylor Swift] who isn’t actually sh-tty at gossip strategy. In fact, we’ve seen from Taylor a recent upgrade in her gossip sophistication. But on social media, not even she can compete with someone who is virtually bulletproof. Especially on social media. Because in this kind of fight, where are Mrs West’s weaknesses? What could possibly be said about Mrs West that hasn’t been said already? Mrs West already has a sex tape. So it’s not like you can expose her when she’s already exposed herself and exploited her own exposing into a family brand and a multimillion dollar cross-platform business. Some would argue too that instead of criticising the celebrity ecosystem without objectively acknowledging her role in that same ecosystem ([hi Jennifer Aniston!]), Mrs West has evolved it – to her great advantage. So it’s not like you can call her out on fame hypocrisy. She plays the game. She loves the game. Mostly though, Mrs West has never claimed to be above it. She has always quite happily shown that she is IN it. That she’s living in the dirt, living in the smut. Which is why, when she’s serving up the smut, she’s actually bulletproof. What are you actually going to say to her? Are you going to be all like, um, Mrs West, you should be above this. You should rise above this. This is beneath you. F-ck no. SINCE WHEN??? This is what Kanye has done. He’s opened the door to the seventh room and let in a monster agitator. (Gossip gossip, n---a just stop it, everybody know I’m a motherf-cking monster.) And that agitator just claimed a victory for him against Taylor Swift, a mean girl who has traded on an increasingly thin image of rising above and a message of good character. That’s the problem when you pretend to not be a mean girl and you get caught up in a girl sh-t battle against a girl who celebrates her mean girlness. She will find your holes. And she will stick a concrete pillar into those holes and climb. What just happened here is that Mrs West just climbed up on Taylor Swift’s back, the way she’s climbed up on so many other backs, one back bigger than the other. And Taylor Swift is the biggest so far. Mrs West has scaled Taylor Swift. Or, rather, Taylor Swift let herself be scaled by Mrs West. And, frankly, I’m mad at her for it. Because I now have to choke this out: Thank your Mrs West for one of the best gossip days of the year, if not the last decade. Still more to come…. [Click here for the rest of the photos.] Posted at 4:07 PM [Mrs West’s Good Morning] [Kanye West and Taylor Swift] Good Morning is one of my favourite [Kanye West] songs. It’s the first song on Graduation. And Good Morning is so perfect for this morning because this is how I woke up this morning. With a gossip gift, courtesy of Kanye West’s wife who has, today, given us a great gossip morning by snatching the Gossip Valedictorian crown from all other pretenders and delivering to us the legendary receipts. If there ever was a gossip museum, there would be an entire room dedicated to these receipts, this video, this hall of fame f-cking video. It’s a level of gossip gameplay that far exceeds the Mickey Mouse stylings of DJ Moses Charlton Heston. So, perhaps, just for one day, Kanye West’s wife has graduated too. I will call her Mrs West. Do I need to recap this sh-t or can we just jump right in? Maybe a brief recap because some of you don’t memorise this sh-t…and WHY NOT!?! A few months ago, Kanye West releases Famous. The two lyrics in Famous about [Taylor Swift] are: I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex Why? I made that bitch famous Kanye insisted after the release that Taylor knew. He ranted on Twitter that [he called her to tell her about it]. Taylor [denied that that’s how it went down], releasing a statement through her publicist: "Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single 'Famous' on her Twitter account," her rep said in a statement to ET. "She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, 'I made that bitch famous.'" Then Taylor won Album of the Year at the Grammys and [dedicated her acceptance speech] to Kanye. Here’s video of that if you need a refresher – and it’s important that you remember her tone: Last month, Mrs West [talked about the situation with GQ]. She basically called Taylor a liar and, in defence of her husband, insisted that Kanye did give Taylor a heads-up about the song and that Taylor was good with it until it came out and used Kanye to turn herself into a “victim”, again, and boost her popularity. Mrs West also warned that she and Kanye were in possession of video that proves their side. In response to that interview, Taylor released another statement about the song: “Taylor does not hold anything against Kim Kardashian as she recognizes the pressure Kim must be under and that she is only repeating what she has been told by Kanye West. However, that does not change the fact that much of what Kim is saying is incorrect. Kanye West and Taylor only spoke once on the phone while she was on vacation with her family in January of 2016 and they have never spoken since. Taylor has never denied that conversation took place. It was on that phone call that Kanye West also asked her to release the song on her Twitter account, which she declined to do. Kanye West never told Taylor he was going to use the term ‘that bitch’ in referencing her. A song cannot be approved if it was never heard. Kanye West never played the song for Taylor Swift. Taylor heard it for the first time when everyone else did and was humiliated. Kim Kardashian's claim that Taylor and her team were aware of being recorded is not true, and Taylor cannot understand why Kanye West, and now Kim Kardashian, will not just leave her alone.” Last night, Mrs West posted the video on Snapchat. And it lit up the world: [Oooop!! #KimKardashian came through with receipts on #KanyeWest's conversation with #TaylorSwift about his song #Famous that Taylor claimed to know nothing about hunty!! *Sips all the tea 🐸☕️] A video posted by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on Jul 17, 2016 at 8:03pm PDT [There's more 😩 #KimKardashian pulls the receipts on #TaylorSwift part 2 . This tea is too hot. View previous post!] A video posted by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on Jul 17, 2016 at 8:20pm PDT [Hypebeast transcribed the conversation] in case you’re having difficulty making out everything that’s being said. Taylor has since responded with her own social media post: [That moment when Kanye West secretly records your phone call, then Kim posts it on the Internet.] A photo posted by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on Jul 17, 2016 at 9:14pm PDT So now… well… Taylor Swift’s fans will support her no matter what. But everyone else is basically acting like ding dong the witch is dead. The witch is not dead. (She’s a blonde with a lot of money– they basically survive everything! See The Shallows.) But she’s in retreat. She is in serious retreat. Because splitting hairs is not going to cut it here. What Taylor’s doing is splitting hairs. No, the audio does not explicitly prove that she knew about the lyric “I made that bitch famous”. Taylor is, actually, right about that. Which is what she has been objecting to all along. But it’s implied. And what the video does do is demonstrate that Kanye was gracious. That Kanye came to her as a friend. You can hear it in how he’s talking to her. And you can hear it in how she responds to him. This does not sound like the ALL CAPS RAGEY Kanye that the public loves to vilify. This Kanye – as presented to us BY HIS WIFE! – is conciliatory and courteous. It’s a Kanye that Taylor never cared to tell us about when she was claiming to have been wronged by him. In accusing him of blindsiding her, she never bothered to give us the entire picture. She never bothered to tell us that Kanye was actually really nice to her on the phone. She never bothered to share that he shared some of his lyrics. Most importantly, she didn’t specifically share that she UNDERSTOOD his point of view. In her words: “You gotta tell the story the way that it happened to you and how you experienced it. It doesn’t matter if I sold seven million off that album before you did that, which is what happened. You didn’t know who I was before that, that’s fine… I’m always going to respect you and I’m really glad that you have the respect to call me and tell me about it as a friend… It’s a really cool thing from you and a really good show of friendship so thank you.”
 THAT. There it is, right there. “You didn’t know who I was before that, that’s fine.” Put that quote next to “I made that bitch famous” and it’s basically a match. It’s two pieces that fit together. It’s implied approval that if that’s how he sees it, in his personal experience, artist to artist, it’s condoned. And then she gets up on stage at the Grammys and decides to throw him up as an enemy in her crusade for feminism. Amateur hour. And I called it that at the time. In [my post about Taylor’s Grammys acceptance speech] I shat on her for permanently linking her victory to him. “From now on, when we talk about Taylor Swift’s 1989 winning the Grammy for Album of the Year, we are going to remember how she got up on stage, collected her award, and directed most of her remarks in response to what Kanye West said about her in three lines in one of his songs. It’s a permanent association now. Taylor Swift + Kanye West. FOREVER.” That’s is why this sh-t will never die. Because she’s as responsible for perpetuating it as he is. Maybe even more. Because she underestimated the gossip power of his wife. Coming up next. [Click here for the rest of the photos.] Posted at 2:23 PM [Slurry vs. Shrilly] [Jenny McCarthy/Tara Reid] It’s been an extremely fertile few weeks in feuds, thanks to Taylor Swift. The biggest stories – Kanye’s video, DJ Four Names, Katy Perry’s Twitter – have all involved her presence. Perhaps to balance all this, the Gossip Gods have delivered a low-rent celebrity feud courtesy of [Jenny McCarthy] and [Tara Reid]. It’s passive aggressive blonde-on-blonde crime (even if Jenny is technically a brunette right now), ripe with the kind of saccharine digs Tara Reid probably traded with Paris in the bathroom stall at Hyde in the early aughts. On Friday, Tara was a guest on Jenny McCarthy’s Sirius radio show, Dirty, Sexy, Funny. I am not a Jenny McCarthy fan (in fact I wrote [this piece] about her anti-vaxx stance and it got me weeks of the most delightful hate mail) but I have to acknowledge her career hustle. I don’t think it’s easy for Jenny to get acting work but radio and reality TV is the perfect place for her type of personality (loud and sanctimonious). As for Tara Reid… I feel semi-sorry for her even though when she was famous (in North America) she spent a lot of time in filming in Vancouver and had a reputation for being absolutely awful. She has managed to stay in European tabloids (which will never cease to amaze me) and has embraced the camp with the Sharknado franchise. She shows up for it, doing press and social media. It’s Tara Reid, the expectations aren’t exactly high; if she manages to not fall asleep or try to explain whale and shark cross-mating in an interview, her PR team [considers it a win]. I listened to her exchange with Jenny McCarthy a few times, and it goes from awkward to bitchy real quick. Jenny asks Tara about her appearance on reality show Marriage Boot Camp, which Tara did not want to talk about. Jenny presses a teeny bit, but moves on to Sharknado after a few quick questions. By this time, Tara was testy, giving non-answers. Then Jenny asks her about plastic surgery, which Tara says she’s talked about extensively and doesn’t want to comment on anymore. Jenny tries to course correct with some compliments and seems legitimately puzzled as to why Tara is shutting her down, and then Tara whispers off camera, half-answers one more question and says she’s leaving. This is when Jenny escalates it (which must be the delightful power of having your own show – you can call someone out without worrying about getting fired). When Tara says she’s leaving, Jenny keeps speaking in her soothing radio voice while telling Tara, “I hope your knees get a little wobblier than they already are.” You know why this stings? It’s so specific. The whole time Jenny is praising her about being so open with her surgeries and asking about getting in shape for Sharknado, clearly she was thinking, “Look at this broken-down hag.” This is where the cringe comes from, because it’s terribly honest. Tara Reid’s body is one of the few in Hollywood that is subject to open mocking, but to have another celebrity essentially say to her face, “Do you know what everyone says about you behind your back? Hmm? They say that you're a homeschooled jungle freak that's a less hot version of me!” has to sting. Tara claps back talking about Jenny’s tits and how they go to the same surgeon (UM, who would go to the same plastic surgeon as Tara Reid?) and Jenny is essentially responds with, “Ya, and?” Jenny ends it with “Good luck on Sharknado 18.” Again, this is a pointed jab. It’s the kind of insult that you’d think up hours after having a confrontation with someone, when it’s 8 hours too late. So kudos to Jenny for being quick on her feet. Jenny’s milking this on social media (as any media outlet would) and has been retweeting comments on the fight and making fun of their collective plastic surgeries because again, she’s not precious about her place in the celebrity eco-system. She’s a proud D. Tune in for replay of [@TheJennyMShow] to hear why the only show we might ever be on together in the future will be Botched. Ch 109 8 pm EST — Jenny McCarthy (@JennyMcCarthy) [July 15, 2016] Tara’s rep tried to paint this as bullying, but it’s not like Tara’s [legion of fans are rallying around her], fist pumping for her body positivity and honesty. Whereas Jenny functions as the brassy post-Playboy-era, sex-positive “real” reality star, Tara provides schadenfreude. She’s a calcified relic from 2002, the name people whisper when a young starlet is starting to go off the rails, and the human version of a car crash tabloids still occasionally slow down to gawk at. Jenny certainly won this fight but it’s not exactly a fair one. Tara is foggy and slurry, Jenny is sharp and energetic. Making it even more lopsided is Jenny’s years of experience battling science and logic – what chance did Tara have? You can listen to the [full interview here].
