MasterChef Review: Gordon Ramsay Displays a Softer Side

MasterChef

FOX premiered its third show featuring , MasterChef, Tuesday night. The series had a strong lead-in: Ramsay’s first FOX show, Hell’s Kitchen. He’s the chef known for his tough exterior and passionate, some might say vulgar, insults. Ramsay routinely screams in the faces of the chefs under his tutelage on Hell’s Kitchen - so fans were no doubt expecting to see a tough, fiery chef during the MasterChef premiere.

What they got was a gentler, kinder Gordon Ramsay. He slipped into the role of motivator for , sitting at the head of a panel of three judges (the other two are tough-as-nails restaurateur Joe Bastianich and four-star chef Graham Elliot). Talented home cooks came before the panel to present their dishes. Some dishes were met with disdain, but Ramsay didn’t scream “donkey” at a single contestant. He dispensed hugs, smiles and encouragement with ease - far removed from the furious chef mien he wears for Hell’s Kitchen, which aired the same night.

Awkward Couple of the Day: Nikki Reed and Jaden Smith

Nikki Reed and Jaden Smith at the Eclipse premiere

Out of the dozens of men whom Nikki Reed could have taken to the premiere, the starlet chose Will Smith’s son, 11 year-old Jaden. And I thought that Demi was the epitome of a cougar.

“I invited him when we were on Ellen together. came into my room and was like, ‘It would be really cool if you could say hi to my son.’ My jaw was, like, on the floor. I was drooling and flabbergasted. I was like, ‘Yeah, sure! I can meet your son.’ And then Jaden comes in and he’s like, ‘Hey, what’s up?’ because he’s so cool… He taught me some karate moves and I was like, ‘Do you want to be my date to the Eclipse premiere because I don’t have a date? I guess that makes me a cougar. Yeah, I’m a cougar!”

Karl Lagerfeld Debuts Short Film Remember Now

Karl Lagerfeld in Paris was joined by a host of beauties as he unveiled his new film last night.

The designer proudly premiered his short movie, Remember Now (check it out after the jump!), in the St. Tropez, South of France - just two days before the Cannes Film Festival - with Diane Kruger, Karolina Kurkova, Vanessa Paradis and Georgia May Jagger all there to show their support.

Karl - who is in town to show his Chanel Cruise collection - told WWD, “When I do a film, I see the movie before I’ve made it. I don’t make scripts because it’s written in my head. I like short one-liners.” The 17-minute film - which was screened at the town’s Cinema de la Renaissance - captures the good-natured summer hedonism of the beautiful area, which has become a playground for the rich and famous. Karl was allowed total control over the creative process and one of the stars of the film, Elisa Sednaoui, was impressed with his talents.

“Karl is a very spontaneous and creative director. He’s very responsive and alive for that. There’s no indecision, but he adapts himself,” Sednaoui said.

Photographers Prohibited Allowed at McQueen Memorial

Alexander McQueen Spring 2010

Despite what Kanye West said about the late Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2010 collection, it appears as if he did complete most of his Fall 2010 line.

Originally set to premiere at Paris Fashion Week, the label has instead opted to showcase McQueen’s last collection in a memorial setting on March 9th and 10th. Very much unlike the live-stream of his collection, photographers will not be permitted at the presentation. Photos of the pieces are (thankfully!) due to be released to the media.
