CHRIS MARTIN IS NOT AS OBNOXIOUS AS WE THOUGHT

We always thought “Coldplay’s” Chris Martin, 34, was a sourpuss with a condescending attitude. He hated the press, resented being photographed, and seemed ungrateful for all his success. In a rare interview with CBS Sunday Morning (whatever THAT is) he actually said something nice about his wife Gwyneth Paltrow and revealed she was his first and only romantic partner. (QUITE a statement from a rock star.) He modestly admitted he felt like a loser who “won the lottery” when he married the Oscar winner. (Despite her debatable flaws, Gwyneth DOES seem like a great mother and wife.) So we readjusted our opinion of Martin – maybe he’s an introvert and not as ungrateful as he seemed to be.

ANGELYNE IS ALWAYS READY TO MAKE A SALE

In Los Angeles it’s considered something of an accomplishment to say “Guess who I saw today – Angelyne!” Spotting the iconic Angelyne in her pink Corvette is almost like an LA pastime. Here she is again – not ready for her close-up, but a good sport anyway. As usual she opened her car trunk in a parking lot and sold t-shirts and books to passers-by.

MALE PENGUINS CAN BE DEVIOUS TOO


Video via: The Daily What

Male penguins can be just as sneaky as male humans. (Are you reading this, Ashton and Arnold?) The difference is they’re definitely cuter while they’re misbehaving.

SNOOP DOGG ACCUSED OF SMUGGLING MONEY INTO NORWAY

Snoop Dogg’s European tour hit a snag when customs officials detained him at the border of Norway. No they didn’t find any drugs on him, it seems the rapper had TOO MUCH MONEY in his pocket. (What a nuisance!) If a visitor carries more than $5000 in cash into the country, it has to be declared. Snoop was interrogated for two hours before he was allowed to continue, and he arrived late for an Adidas store signing.

BARBRA STREISAND’S ELLE COVER PHOTO: WORTH THE AGGRAVATION

We know how controlling Barbra Streisand can be, so we can imagine what Elle magazine went through to get her on the cover. Barbra, 69, is extremely fussy about lighting and the angle at which she is photographed. That’s why some of her movies took SOOO long to make. But the end result is pretty impressive. Streisand is on the cover of Elle’s “Women in Hollywood 2011” issue coming out this month and she’s never looked better. Sadly, Barbra’s former manager and onetime best friend Sue Mengers died this weekend.

J.LO AND MARC ANTHONY: WE KNOW WHO GETS THE KIDS, BUT WHO GETS CUSTODY OF THE COUNTRY CLUB?

Jennifer Lopez and her estranged husband Marc Anthony are embroiled in a custody battle – over membership in their exclusive country club. J.Lo and Marc joined the Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif, last year and now they’re at odds over who will remain a member. Mark likes to golf there, and Jennifer enjoys the social and networking aspects of the club – neither wants the other to continue as a member, and so the battle begins…

JESSICA SIMPSON WAS IMPRESSED BY ELIZABETH TAYLOR’S JEWELRY

Jessica Simpson spent Friday afternoon with her girlfriends ogling the Elizabeth Taylor estate collection, which will be auctioned off at Christie’s in December after it travels around the world for people to see. Fans paid $20 a pop to see Elizabeth’s clothing, movie memorabilia, art, jewelry, Oscars, etc and the museum showing in West Hollywood was sold out. Jessica certainly wasn’t there to get fashion inspiration (Liz’s clothing was incredibly gaudy) but she did linger over Liz’s astonishing collection of gems and her 33 KT diamond in particular. We wonder if Jessica will bid at the auction.

LISA BONET AND JASON MOMOA: OPPOSITES ATTRACT

Exceptionally pretty Lisa Bonet didn’t much of a career after The Cosby Show, but she never seemed to care. Maybe because she always has gorgeous guys around to amuse her. She was married to singer Lenny Kravitz from 1987 to 1993 and they had daughter Zoe, who is now 22. Four years ago she married drop dead gorgeous Jason Momoa (the new “Conan”) and they have two children together. The 6’5″ Jason towered over his tiny wife Lisa as they walked down the street in New York yesterday.

ZACHARY QUINTO IS FINALLY GAY, SO GET USED TO IT

We sensed that Zachary Quinto, (Spock on the new Star Trek) who came out to New York magazine and via Twitter, has been wanting to come out as gay for a long time, but his management advised against it. Makes sense, he’s a leading man. But he was not comfortable avoiding the issue and didn’t want to fake it any longer. Hollywood insiders knew he was gay but perhaps some fans didn’t. He’s one of the few gay Hollywood actors who accepted gay roles. Closeted gay actors don’t like all those pesky reporters asking about what it’s like to “play gay” so they stay away from homosexual parts. Zachary played the parts and he showed up for gay causes. So it was just a matter of time before he came out, and we’re happy for him.

EVEN SHANNEN DOHERTY’S LIFE HAS BECOME A REALITY SHOW

The Kardashians might have started an awful new trend – celebrity weddings filmed for reality shows. It makes you wonder if these people would even bother to get married if THEY had to pay for it. Shannen Doherty, 40, (the Lindsay Lohan of the early 90’s) and her photographer boyfriend Kurt Iswarienko, 37, just tied the knot in Malibu while cameras rolled for her “Shannen” show to debut in 2012. The show documents their romance, marriage and her current career. Naturally she’ll try to get pregnant right away to extend the series another season.
