Media-Whore D'Oevres

"Mr. DiCaprio fielded questions about his personal life (still no comment as to whether he plans to settle down with Israeli model Bar Rafaeli). Mr. Crowe and his long pony tail were feeling moody .. But when we asked Mr. Crowe if he had any time at all to frolic by the sea with Ms. Farahani and the cast, he seemed to get a little annoyed. 'I just went through that twice now,' he said testily. 'No. I didn’t go out, and I didn’t do anything else. I just shot there a few days.' (Our apologies, Mr. Crowe!) As the actor moved on to the next interviewer, he noticed a “Press” sticker stuck to the bottom of his shoe. Examining the word 'Press' carefully, with a look of mild offense, Mr. Crowe proceeded to stick it onto the cameraman who was in the process of shooting him for his next interview. (The cameraman was surely relieved that that was a paper sticker at the bottom of Mr. Crowe’s fancy shoe and not a more unpleasant substance.)" (Observer)

"Everyone in Hollywood knows that Jeff Robinov and Alan Horn have no sense of humor. (Horn, for instance, is such a PC dipstick that he won't allow the studio to make low cost/big box office Judd Apatow-type laughers rated R.) But Russell Crowe confirmed this during last night's David Letterman. The actor explained that his soon-to-be-released film Body Of Lies contained 'my favorite line I ever delivered in a movie. But it's not in the film. They took it out. I think that Warner Bros executives had an attack of taste.'" (DeadlineHollywooddaily)

"To celebrate Dita Von Teese's birthday, the Fendi 'O' was grafted onto Le Milliardaire club, a bordello-chic boîte off the Champs-Élysées lush with deep red sofas and gilt. As midnight approached, Sofia Coppola (in Marc by Marc Jacobs), Odile Gilbert, Zoe Cassavetes, Alice Dellal, and Daisy Lowe gathered in the VIP section to sip Champagne and wait for the guest of honor .. One might expect a burlesque star to play coy about numbers, but when Dita arrived it was with lightning repartee at the ready: 'Thirty six, and my ass has never been better!'" (Style)

"Hulu is going live for the first time since its launch last year. The site will stream the remaining presidential debates, which air respectively on NBC Tuesday night and on Fox News Oct. 15. (Sense a pattern here?) The debates also will be available in Hulu’s usual on-demand service. At the same time, Hulu, best known until now as a place to watch Tina Fey spoof Sarah Palin in legit SNL clips, is jumping on the bandwagon with an Election ‘08 hub." (Paidcontent)
