Bradley Cooper Uses the Internet to Control His Ego

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,

Bradley Cooper reads negative things about him on the internet to stay grounded. The Place Beyond the Pines star doesn't need to be online long before the things he reads about himself extinguish any ego he may be getting about being a movie star.

"Maybe if you start feeling a little too big for your britches, hop on the internet and take a look at some message boards for five seconds. It's not something I do often, but if you do, It'll take you right back down. Oh, my, God! First of all, let's be honest: It's incredibly narcissistic to do that and masochistic. You want to feel s***ty about yourself. Boom - it's easy. To me this business [acting] is the ultimate humbling experience. You're constantly dealing with rejection. My journey has not been people kissing my ass."

Bradley also likes his agent to be as realist and brutal with him as necessary. The 38-year-old actor - who was named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 2011 - insists he can only become better at his craft if he listens to criticism.

Kendra Wilkinson Defends Jessica Simpson’s Weight

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Celebrity Babies,

Kendra Wilkinson thinks Jessica Simpson's first priority should be her child and not losing weight.

The former Playboy Playmate - who is mother to Hank Baskett Jr. hit out at critics of Jessica's post-baby body: "That just breaks my heart. I feel for her. I was in the same boat. People just need to mind their own business. That's a woman who just gave birth."

The 32-year-old Fashion Star mentor signed a $4 million contract with Weight Watchers in an attempt to lose weight after giving birth to daughter Maxwell Drew on May 1. "Her first priority right now is her child. Her first priority is not losing the weight. You should be proud of her for that. A lot of people just dump their kids off at nannies and lose the weight overnight. We should all be proud of her for being real and taking control and making priorities," Kendra said.

"The cool thing about the [Weight Watchers] program is that it focuses on healthy habits for the long-term (and I can still indulge in my guilty pleasures every now and then, too). I have actually gotten a group of friends together who are going to be doing it with me," Jessica said.

Susan Sarandon Avoids Google

Susan Sarandon has never Googled herself.

The Thelma and Louise actress is a technophobe and claims she wouldn't even know how to conduct a search for herself on the internet if she did use a computer. "I wouldn't even know how to Google myself. I don't know how to touch a computer," she told The New York Post.

She added that reviews of her work, either bad or good, don't matter to her as she doesn't count them as "real." She explained, "I don't want to know. Even stuff that's really good shouldn't get stuck in your head, because it's not real."

Susan is fronting a new campaign against cyber bullying, and thinks people need more awareness of internet "Trolls" - people who dedicate time to abusing people on the web - and need to be dealt with: "Usually the people that have time to go online and sit there and be negative are such losers. But, of course, you can't understand that when you're a kid."

Taylor Momsen is No Role Model

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Style,

Gossip Girl actress-turned-musician Taylor Momsen doesn’t care what people think of her.

The 17-year-old star has been criticized in the past for her provocative outfits and outrageous behavior, but she insists she isn’t bothered by any of it as she is just being true to herself.

“It’s about owning it no matter what anyone says. This is who I am and this is who I am going to be. It’s about every girl being true to themselves.”

Taylor has previously said she has “no interest” in being a role model after she was slated for being pictured smoking when she was 16:

“I smoke, so what? Why do people give a s**t what a 16-year-old girl who they’ve never met does? It’s not like I’m sitting there going, ‘Kids, you should go buy a pack of cigarettes.’ When I walk outside with a cigarette and someone takes a picture of it and puts it on the internet, it’s not my problem. I’m just living my life and I’m not gonna live my life for other people. I don’t read that crap that describes me as having an attitude, but I don’t know why that’s a bad thing. I didn’t get into this to be a role model for seven-year-olds. I have no interest in doing that. If parents don’t like some of the stuff I do then they shouldn’t let their kids watch me.”
