Thaw in relations between Brad’s current and ex-wives
Jennifer Aniston is apparently terrific in her movie big-screen drama Cake, so many people were surprised she didn’t get an Oscar nomination. Now she has responded, with class:
“I was amazed at how many messages of ‘Shocked!’ ( Bad word) ’ em!’ and ‘Robbed!’ I got,” she told Huffington Post. “I found it quite endearing and flattering that I had so many people rooting for me. It was almost just as good to be No. 1 snubbed (as) to be nominated.”
The Oscar shutout put Aniston in company with Angelina Jolie, whose picture Unbroken also got nowhere. Ever since Brad Pitt moved from Jen to Angie in 2005, the tabloid press has been writing relentlessly about bad blood between the women, but Aniston has now ended that. She praised Angie’s movie, adding “It’s time people stop with that petty B.S. and just start celebrating great work.”
Grandpa Snoop: Snoop Dogg, who calls himself The Doggfather, can now say he’s the grandfather, too. Jessica Kyzer, partner of Snoop’s oldest son Corde Broadus, gave birth the other day to a son, Zion.
Calvin Broadus, as the Snoopster was born, also has sons called Cordell and Julian Corrie, and a daughter named Cori.
A Fry wedding: Actor/ comedian/writer Stephen Fry and his young boyfriend Elliott Spencer got married Saturday, at a registry office in Dereham, England.
Fry tweeted this: “Gosh. @ElliottGSpencer and I go into a room as two people, sign a book and leave as one. Amazing.”
He’s 57. Spencer is 27.
Another idea somebody beat you to: In the great republic to the south there’s somebody called Bethenny Frankel; she’s associated with one of those vapid Real Housewives shows. I generally disdain such D-minus list “celebrities,” but now Frankel has come up with a good idea, or at least a clever marketing gimmick, Us mag reports: she’s launching Skinnygirl Marijuana, a “specially engineered strain of pot designed to not give you the munchies,” Nameless Insider says. She already sells something called Skinnygirl cocktails. The new product will be sold only where wacky tabaccky is legal: in Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington.
Trio for Twins: Three more original Twin Peaks actors are returning for the revival, on Showtime in 2016. We already knew Kyle MacLachlan had signed to return, and now it’s confirmed that Sheryl Lee (who played Laura Palmer and also Maddy Ferguson) will be back, as will Dana Ashbrook (Bobby Briggs) and Sherilyn Fenn (Audrey Horne).
I wonder how David Lynch will use all these mid-level talents.
