It's a bad day for divas. Take Angelina Jolie for instance. According to In Touch she's not just a professional bitch but she's on shaky ground in mom territory. Says In Touch:
“After she met [Brad Pitt] and settled down, changing her image from wild child to earth mother, Angelina’s ‘bizarre’ early upbringing seemed to affect her parenting skills,” notes In Touch, which alleges her image as an attentive mother is “all a facade.”
So Angie likes putting up a front. Not that you could fault an actress for that, but there's more, by way of GossipCop:
In Touch says she’s actually an “ice-queen mom who is distant” with her children, leading them to tantrums and bad behavior.
For evidence, a “close source” for the magazine speaks with horror about the time one of the kids spilled grape juice, and Jolie “forced a nanny, who was about to leave, to ’stay and work overtime’ to clean it.” In another instance, Shiloh fell down and cried, and a nanny handled it.
Being self absorbed and a bit of a phony won't qualify you for the Claire Huxtable mother of the year award, but it doesn't put you in the Casey Anthony category either. There's probably more than enough real criticism to make about Jolie, without crying over spilled grape juice.
Now giving Jolie hell over the hired help might be rough but it could be worse. She could be Madonna. Madonna used to be hot stuff. However on Aug 16 she's gonna be 53. Pushing 60 isn't giving her the kind of work out she's used to either. Though she used to pride herself on her buffed bod - even taking it to Vera De Milo extremes for awhile, these days Madge is battling cellulite!
Madge is used to getting her way, and every obstacle in her path has usual collapsed under the weight of her all star will power. However the cellulite is really hard to budge. So something is finally putting up a fight and giving her better than she dishes out - so it's becoming an obsession with her. According to her former fitness guru Tracy Anderson it destroyed their working relationship. Says the Star:
“Tracy grew to dread the early-morning phone calls from Madonna ranting about what a useless trained she was,” according to one of Tracy’s pals.”Madonna would threaten to fire her, and Tracy had to talk her down each time.”
Tracy’s not the only casualty of Madonna’s body image obsession.
“The Measuring and ranting used to drive her ex-husband Guy [Ritchie] crazy,” reports the insider. “He would mock her and joke that he noticed a few dimples, which he thought was tremendously funny, but she obviously didn’t.”
Madonna does have the situation under control though. According to reports she's spending upward of 75 000 per week to keep the unsightly stuff under control. Glad to hear that the depression ain't hurting everyone. Guess her bail out stimulus package came in.
Over the hill is something that happens to people, well most of them anyway. That doesn't mean you've hit rock bottom, unless you're Faye Dunaway that is. Faye is having a hard time with one of her residences. It's a rent stabilized NYC apartment that Dunaway holds for $1000 a month rent. You can tell it's hers cause the buzzer label in the lobby read "F Dunanway". Now Faye's landlord is peved about this since he could be getting way more for it. So he's sued to get her booted out of the place. The idea is that it's not her primary residence in the city, so is exempt from the rent stabilization laws. To that end his hauling her ass into court on Aug 11 to try and get some more reasonable arrangements worked out. Dunaway can get nasty when she's crossed so stay tuned to see how this one works out.
