Ellen Barkin can be one mean bitch - at least she was in Johnny Handsome with Mickey Rourke back when they were both pretty. She may have lost her looks (probably in the divorce) but she still has her mean streak! She recently showed it while out and about on the streets of New York City.Barkin was showing her support for the Occupy Wall Street movement (incidentally every Occupy movement in Canada has been broken up except for Occupy Newfoundland - they'll be disbanding a half hour later!) when she felt things were getting a little out of hand. So she got a little out of hand. That lead to a case of push comes to shove with one of NYC's finest.
Now to hear Ellen tell it they were rounding up school girls and herding them in tot he backs of paddy wagons, while tasering them mercilessly with stun guns. So Ellen quickly got in touch with her inner super hero and went Wonder Woman on them. She stepped up and asked the cop what the fuck he though he was doing. That's when - acco0rding to her - he lost his patience with the mouthy old broad and shoved her onto the side walk. The tale of the tape seems to tell a slightly different story in which the cop merely pushes Barkin out of the way. See for yourselves. BTW Ellen's the feisty little blonde in the black over coat.
Now it's unclear from that who got in whom's face - though sources say Ellen did tell the officer to fuck off. I'm sure Ellen was provoked to the use of profanity. I'm not trying to perpetuate the stereotype of actresses being histrionic and prone to wild exaggerations! She also took to celebrity venue of choice - Twitter - to vent her spleen - with more profanity - at the NYPD, and Mayor Bloomberg. Here are some of the highlights of her twitter feed -
"Just threatened on my street by NYPD, cop shoved me, both hands, onto sidewalk..Is it a crime 2 stand in the street in NY? WTF is going on here?""I was trying 2 make my way 2 young girl they had thrown in2 the van.She was not a protester. Was not drunk. She was walking home"“F--k all of u, Bloomberg & every1 goosestepping behind u”
That confirms she knows how to use fuck in the correct context. Now I'm all for people exerting the democratic rights to free speech, even celebrities. I just hope that Miss Barkin has the discretion and tact to be very careful where she parks in NYC from now on. On the bright side the world has been spared the Ellen Barkin mugshot!
A quick update on the Katy Perry - Russell Brand bust up - round two has been fired with leaks from a source who may or may not be speaking for Katy. According to said source Brand is in to weirdo porn - stuff no decent person would look at, like guys in wheelchairs and possibly midgets! OK I made the part about the midgets up, but the wheelchair stuff comes by way of Celebitchy (Via Hollywood Life) quoting US Magazine - where Katy says that Brand is a sick sick man. Here are some of the highlights of that:*Russell “duped” Katy with the prenup. Katy wanted to sell the photos from their Indian wedding, and she wanted Russell to sign a prenup, but he refused on both counts. Allegedly, Brand wanted to keep their wedding “pure” – he’s quoted as saying, “I want to make our wedding … normal, So it ain’t selling the pictures.” Meanwhile, since they filed in California, a community property state, “it could mean their assets will be divided down the middle therefore putting her $70 million fortune at stake. Their estate also includes $15 million in lavish properties all over the world.”
*Katy wasn’t “kinky” enough to satisfy Russell. A source says: “Katy was kinky enough during their first times together and he was very attracted to her. When things got bad, if they got a roll in the hay, they were always better after.” But the source also says that “despite Katy’s attempts to keep the spark alive in the bedroom by scheduling monthly date nights at swanky hotels, it was ‘never enough.’” This source, who knows intimate details about Katy and Russell’s lovemaking, also said: “He likes dirty things. He really gets off on one particular p0rn0 with a guy in a wheelchair. He’s attracted to things he can’t imagine happening to him. And he has a closet full of sex toys.”
*Russell hated being alone: “Russell always needs someone there and that’s not Katy,” the source says. “She’s busier than he is.”
*Katy’s hard partying lifestyle and friends really bothered him: “Russell can’t be in clubs because of his recovery and Katy didn’t want to give up the partying. She didn’t want to even compromise. That infuriated Russell.”
*Russell wanted to start a family: “When he asked Katy about [having kids],” the source says. “Katy would just smile and says she was too busy.”
*Russell wasn’t supportive of Katy’s career: “She had so many things going on this year and there were so many times he wasn’t there,” the source says. “He told her she wasn’t funny [when she hosted SNL] and he was totally uninterested [when he sat front row at her last concert]. He seemed annoyed he was there. I don’t think he sat through one whole song.”
So I guess we can forget about Brand and Katy always staying the very best of friends like his press release claims. Just can't wait for their sex tape to get released (you know it's out there!).
