Hysteria Surrounds Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Shared Vibrators (Video)

ANORAK is used to actors getting into the role. So. Here’s Maggie Gyllenhaal talking about getting into the part (surely the part getting into her? – Ed) for Hysteria, a film tracing the invention of the vibrator:

“By the time I finished the movie I’d been sent maybe 15 vibrators by different people in London with vibrator stores. It was a pleasant surprise. So I have this incredible collection, and I actually use like one or two of them. I lend them to my friends, and they’ll take them for six months at a time.”

Robert Pattinson Isn’t Recording A Solo Album, Okay?

TEENS, we have bad news for you. Really bad news. Robert Pattinson isn’t recording an album. You’re just going to have to go back to your shirtless photographs of him, your Twilight DVDs and continue to save your pocket money until you can afford a vampire glitter tongue compressor.

See, US Weekly reported wrongly that RPattz was itching to get into a studio and record his own songs. Alas, sources said that poor ol’ Rob was torn between being a thesp and his love of music.

BUT THOSE STUPID SOURCES LIED!

Pattinson’s rep, says:

“The report is untrue. He is not working on an album right now.”

Please note the cute use of ‘right now’. That means, should Pattinson have a break from acting to pen his music, there’s a window for him to do it.

Sadly, for you fawning divs, you’ll have to settle for his previously recorded ‘Never Think‘ and ‘Let Me Sign‘ which appear on the Twilight soundtrack.

Yep – that is the music you hear and not the pounding a million pubescent hearts…

Tony Bennett Says Sorry For Blaming America For 9/11

GUANTANAMERA! Guajira Guantanamera! Yep, Tony Bennett must’ve been a bit worried he was going to get shipped off to Guantanamo Bay for some special torture after he said that the whole 9/11 thing was the fault of America itself.

While promoting his new album, Duets II, on Howard Stern’s radio show, Bennett said that the U.S. was responsible for the September 11th attacks on New York and Washington, D.C.

“They flew the plane in, but we caused it.”

Who Is Cheryl Cole’s Soldier Lover?

JOIN the armed forces and win a chance to shag Cheryl Cole, Vera Lynn never made such an offer to Our Boys (and Girls), and her career is less starry for it.

The Daily Mirror continues to publicise its mawkish Pride of Britain Awards with Cheryl’s brave trip to Afghanistan.

Cheryl would have been braver had she visited Afghanistan as a holidaymaker, keen to show the world that beyond the bombs and the militants, the place has a few nice spots, a half-decent spa, hunky fellas and real people who actually live there.

Instead we get news that Chezza has pulled:

Cheryl has returned from Afghanistan with a twinkle in her eye – after taking a shine to a hunky British soldier.

Drunk Kerry Katona Sups OK!’s ‘Celebrity Juice’ And Swallows Lucien Laviscount

KERRY Katona and Lucien Laviscount continue with their fluid post-Big Brother romance on the cover of OK! magazine. The pair are fighting for love in the face of overwhelming odds – colour prejudice (she’s orange); age (he’s not much old than her kidzzzzz); incest (they describe themselves as being like brother and sister); and the cruelest barrier of all: they aren’t dating.

And yet OK! continues to make pronouncements:

“KERRY’S EXCITING NEWS – I’M MOVING LUCIEN IN!”

“WORLD EXCLUSIVE – ‘WE LOVE WAKING UP TOGETHER'”

“MOLLY DOESN’T LIE US KISSING IN FRONT OF HER”

Lady GaGa Pours Champagne Onto The Disabled People Of New York

WHAT is the correct term of disabled people these days? Obviously ‘people’ is more than adequate as one doesn’t want to define everyone by their disabilities.

However, in this instance, their disability is key to the story as we attempt to paint a picture of Lady GaGa being ghoulish and nasty.

See, the singer – while at a New York Giants game – was pictured pouring champagne into a section designated for handicapped fans at MetLife Stadium last night.

Suicidal Sinead O’Connor Gives It Up The Arse

FOLLOWING her earlier invitation for anal sex with a yam named Brian, priest Sinead O’Connor haas been talking about suicide.

Note: her advert for love now includes the element: “Must provide me with Fry’s chocolate cream bars (NOT a euphemism for anal sex).”

D-listed on his blog says Sinead is crazy. She is not. She is a brilliant writer, utterly captivating, warm, charming and readable. She is the antidote to the PR-fed bullshit that passes for copy in the tabloid press, in which pop mucus is traduced to Cheryl Cole’s warm heart and Lady Gaga’s beef curtains.

Brad Pitt Says Marriage To Jennifer Aniston Is Like Being Stoned To A Slow Death

BRAD Pitt tells Parade that being married to Jennifer Aniston is like sitting on a sofa too stoned to move while being smothered by a wet blanket:

“I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage (to Aniston) had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”

Dina Lohan’s Car Crash Interview: Lindsay Sister Act Is Born To Entertain

DINA Lohan is Lindsay Lohan’s mother. She’s on the red carpet telling a fawning presenter that Lindsay has “three films slated“. (We guess it loses something in the translation – although not every actor can say every film is a success.) Also, Dina is wearing a dress by an Australian designer she can’t talk about. You might snort with derision and make a snide and wholly wrong comment about Lindsay having ripped the label off when she got it out the store.

Or you might see the wonderful Dina for the true entertainer she is. It’s not talking this much nonsense to camera – but Dina’s got showbiz in her veins, and if the script demands it, she will talk and talk and talk…

The Reviews For Allison Pearson’s I Don’t Know How She Does It Are Beyond Parody

ALLISON Pearson’s book I Don’t Know How She Does It has ben turned into a film starring Sarah Jessica Parker. If the reviews are a guide, the movie should be hilarious:

Sandra Parsons writes in the Daily Mail:

Now, I hate to sound unsisterly. But if I hear one more woman droning on about how hard life is for us today, I may have to set about her with my enormously bulky handbag — or possibly a copy of my predecessor Allison Pearson’s brilliant novel, I Don’t Know How She Does It, now made into a film with Sarah Jessica Parker.

When the novel was published ten years ago, a colleague who’d just had a baby bought me a copy, admiringly inscribed: ‘I really don’t know how you do it!’ (At the time, I had a full-time job, a five-year-old and a baby). My answer then was the same as it is now: by simply getting on with it.
