Shore has reportedly consulted a lawyer about possible legal action against British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. Pauly is claiming Baron Cohen stole his plot idea of adopting an African baby in his latest movie “Bruno”.
Gwyneth Paltrow says Spain has “became a second home.”
“It is so different from the United States. It seemed to have a history, and the buildings are years and years and years old. Here in the United States an old building is about 17 (years old), and over there it’s from 500 B.C., it’s incredible,” she tells the Associated Press.
“Also, the way people live over there. They seem to enjoy life a little bit more,” she continued. “They aren’t running around as much as in New York. They enjoy time with the family. They don’t always have their Blackberries on.”
(It’s not the first time she’s praised another country. In 2006, she stirred controversy for telling a Portuguese paper that she liked “the English lifestyle” because “it’s not as capitalistic as America. People don’t talk about work and money… they talk about interesting things at dinner.” She later said she was misquoted.)
Paltrow – who shot the PBS show Spain … on the Road Again with chef Mario Batali – says she visits Spain at least once a year and remains close to the family she lived with. She calls them “my Spanish mother” and “my brothers.”
She also says that she makes sure her children can speak Spanish.
Says the actress (who took her first trip to Spain as a teen), “Moses speaks
a little bit, but understands everything. Apple speaks a lot.”
Paltrow says she is also writing a book on U.S. cuisine with Spanish influence that is due out next year.
” … I love food, I love to eat,” she says. “I can’t go on diets. I have to do a lot of exercise.”
When Kendra Wilkinson walked down the aisle last Saturday, “she looked so beautiful, I couldn’t take my eyes off her,” groom Hank Baskett tells the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands today.
The bride — who is three months pregnant with the couple’s first child — donned a $20,000 duchesse-silk gown consisting of 55 yards of fabric covered in 1,200 crystals codesgined by herself and R-Mine Bridal’s Armine Ohanessian.
Of her civil ceremony held at the Playboy mansion and attended by 300 guests, Kendra — who will take the name Baskett — tells Us: “Everything looked so beautiful around me — it was surreal.”
Even Hugh Hefner — who split from Kendra last October — got a little teary eyed, Girl Next Door and bridesmaid Bridget Marquardt tells Us.
“It was a spectacular day, filled with emotion,” Hef tells Us. “Her first dance was with the groom; the second, with me.”
For the only interview with the bride and groom and six pages full of stunning, intimate photos with every “I Do” detail from their $1-million-plus nuptials, pick up the newest issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.
Sure she got clobbered last November, but could Sarah Palin beat Barack Obama in a good old-fashioned footrace?
“I betcha I’d have more endurance,” the Alaska governor, a longtime runner (and marathoner) says in a folksy and revealing interview on RunnersWorld.com. “So if it were a long race that required a lot of endurance I’d win.”
As for going one-on-one with President Obama on the basketball court, last year’s running mate to GOP presidential candidate John McCain – who was known as “Sarah Barracuda” on her high-school hoops team – is not so cocksure. “[He] towers over me and I wouldn’t be complaining about an unfair advantage there, but maybe I’d do better playing H-O-R-S-E with him than one-on-one.”
Palin, 45 and a mother of five, tells Runner’s World that the only time she’s never run is when she was “too pregnant,” noting, “I feel so crappy if I go more than a few days without running … Sweat is my sanity.”
The governor is a regular along the trails in Anchorage and Juneau, but she may be hard for photographers or tourists to find. “When I run, I’m totally incognito because I’m not wearing the trough of full makeup,” she boasts. “I can go running through a mob of tourists and they don’t recognize me.”
If anything, it will be her very specific soundtrack giving her away. Palin tells the magazine she kicks off her runs by cranking up the “old Van Halen and AC/DC, then I get into my country music, then I always wrap it up with a couple mellow Amy Grant songs.”
And for the record, those would be playing on an iPod, not the clunky CD player she was lugging around until recently. “The kids finally convinced me not only was it not cool but it also wasn’t practical.”
