Italy Deems Julianne Moore Ads Indecent
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Models, News, Jewelry,
For a city known for its Renaissance paintings that feature plenty of women wearing little clothing in a continent that seems to wonder why many Americans fear nudity, it may come as a shock to many that Venice, Italy has banned the above Bulgari ad, starring actress Julianne Moore from its scheduled billboard duties.
“An advertisement showing a nude woman on a divan is not appropriate for St Mark’s Square,” Mayor Giorgio Orsoni said.
While Moore may not have clothes on, the smiling, playful lion cubs seem to diffuse the expected sexual charge of the photo. That, of course, wasn’t enough for the folks who oversee what is posted around their city…

Emily Blunt Marries John Krasinski in Italy
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Engagements, Weddings,
Emily Blunt has married The Office star John Krasinski.
The British actress and the US star - who began dating in 2008 - held an intimate ceremony at Italy’s Lake Como, with celebrity guests including George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis. The pair had been staying at George’s estate on Lake Como for the last week leading up to the wedding on Saturday.
“It was an outdoor ceremony and absolutely beautiful. It was an official ceremony. They are husband and wife. Emily didn’t want a big fuss or a Hollywood wedding. It was a case of the smaller the better - they flew all the wedding party out,” a source said.
The pair became engaged after a year of dating, when 30-year-old Krasinski got down on one knee with a 3-carat Edwardian diamond and platinum ring, rumored to have cost around $100,000. The actors were not the only Hollywood pair to marry yesterday - country music star their nuptials at a hotel - which they had hired out especially - in Greensboro, Georgia.
George Clooney Involved in Firecracker Explosion
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Photos, Paparazzi Photos,
Sometimes, it’s not so great to be a celebrity (just ask Tiger Woods). While enjoying the 4th of July holiday weekend in Italy with his girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis, Uma Thurman and others, movie star George Clooney nearly became a Roman candle.
As the beautiful people lounged around on a boat floating on Lake Como to watch fireworks explode overhead, one gunpowder creation came careening toward the boat to send the occupants of the vessel into a flurry of motion. The boat was roughly jostled (and lit up just like the 4th of July) during the incident. So far, there’s no word on any injuries which might have occurred.

VIDEO: Slash Attacked by Fan, Keeps on Playing
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Performances, Videos,
What’s better than hearing Slash play his guitar solo on “Sweet Child O’ Mine”? Watching him continue to play it after being rushed by a fan.
On June 10, the former Guns N’ Roses musician was in the middle of a performance in Milan, Italy when he was (rudely) greeted by a surprise guest. (Cue the video to the 1:15 mark.) The good news? The shirtless jerk got a bigger piece of the floor than he did of Slash. The bad news? The rocker eventually had to have his broken Les Paul guitar replaced.
After the show, Slash addressed the incident on his own Facebook page. “Rowdy crowd for sure. But amazing! The guy who nailed me didn’t take me down but he busted my poor gtr. Ah well, it was a kick ass rock show in the 1st order!”
The Jolie-Pitt Twins Grow Up
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies,
In the past week, photographers have gotten rare opportunities to snap Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s two youngest children—and boy, have they grown up! This picture was taken in Venice, Italy where Angelina is prepping to film The Tourist, a movie with Johnny Depp.
Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, born July 2008, were first spotted in public over a year ago at an airport in Japan. Since then, the 19-month-old twins were also spied at an ice cream shop in Jordan.
You can see an even better shot of Knox - who looks an awful lot like big sister Shiloh - after the jump.

VIDEO: Glee Flash Mob Hits Rome

We knew the Glee soundtrack was infectious, but who imagined people overseas catching on?
Starting Christmas Day, the FOX program will begin airing in Italy. To promote the series, this flash mob performed to a medley of tunes - including Don’t Stop Believin’, Gold Digger and Somebody to Love - in the middle of Rome’s Galleria Alberto Sordi.
I’m guessing we just saw some future Italian Gleeks in that crowd.

2010 Golden Globe Nominations (Film)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Biopics, Drama, Family, Foreign, Foreign Language, Musicals, Period, Political, Romance, Science Fiction, Comedy, Sports, Awards, Lists,
The 2009-10 awards season kicked into high gear this morning with the official announcement of the Golden Globe nominations. The event - which will be hosted by funnyman Ricky Gervais - will take place just over two weeks before the Academy Award contenders are revealed.
Here are some of the noteworthy mentions from this year’s list of film nominees:
- Up in the Air leads all film nominations with six. The musical Nine follows with five while Avatar and Inglourious Basterds tied with four.
- As expected, Meryl Streep has received another two mentions—unfortunately, they are both in the Comedy category (Julie & Julia, It’s Complicated). On the surprising end, Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side, The Proposal) and Matt Damon (Invictus, The Informant) both have two nominations as well—thankfully, in different categories.
- Talk about drama! An ex-husband and wife will be competing against each other in the Best Director race. (Avatar‘s James Cameron and The Hurt Locker‘s Kathryn Bigelow.)
- Despite backing from both Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey, Precious is not a contender for Best Film. Mo’Nique and Gabourey Sidibe were both recognized for their excellent acting though.
The 67th Golden Globe Awards airs Jan. 17 on NBC.

George Clooney’s Medical Mistake
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrity Gossip,
George Clooney‘s driver took him to a dentist when he broke his hand.
The Hollywood actor was in a great deal of pain when he slammed his digits in a car door while at his home in Lake Como, Italy, and asked his aide to drive him to see an emergency doctor. However, the driver became confused and ended up taking him to a physician who specializes in teeth.
“He drives me into town… and he takes me to a dentist. Dentist’s chair, dentist’s lamp, everything. The guy comes in, pulls the dentist’s lamp down onto my hand. He starts pulling on my fingers, which really hurts. At last, he says, ‘Hmm, I think it’s broken…’ I’m saying, ‘Is there a real doctor anywhere in here?,’” Clooney recalled.

Dolce and Gabbana to be fined for tax evasion?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana could be facing a fine of $1.2 million. The designers’ finances have come under investigation following the sale of the Dolce and Gabbana and D and G brands to their Luxemburg-based company Gado Sri. Italy’s excise and revenue police have now confirmed their recommendation is for the duo to be charged with tax evasion and abuse of rights and suggested the massive fine.
Investigators allege Gado is a legal entity set up to avoid higher tax rates in Italy, but the duo insist they have paid all taxes relating to the sale and that figures mentioned by the police are “completely abstract”. The designers said: “We will tell the 3,800 employees of the companies, which compose the group, that we have paid all that was due and that we will strenuously defend ourselves to avoid being unjustly forced to pay for something that never existed in the first place. This higher taxable sum is a virtual figure we have never received, the result of a theoretical accounting exercise.”
