The doyennes of backhanded compliment artistry are usually liquored up society women and drag queens, but Katherine Heigl‘s thrown her the acid-tongue in the ring by giving New Year’s Eve co-star fellow actress Jennifer Aniston and her kind a quick one-two over their body obsessions. “I was 20 pounds heavier and wanted to look like those girls with fantastically beautiful bodies like Jennifer Aniston or Jessica Alba, but I just couldn’t lose the weight,” she said. “It’s only now that I realize how hard those girls work for their bodies, and what level of commitment they make to do that. I’m too lazy and I like food and I like my free time too much to spend it working out!” Preach. [US]

So much for being sheltered from the broke-ass razzle dazzle of Hollywood: Paris Jackson is set to star in her first film – a half-animated fantasy movie called Lundon’s Bridge And The Three Keys. Though her family wanted to wait until she was 18 before putting her out to work, the 13-year-old convinced her gran by saying profits would go to schools and it was all about a young girl’s relationship with her father. “Her character’s strong love for her father is central to the plot,” said someone.

For whatever reason, Ice Cube decided to get his Eames on and put his architectural drafting studies (for real) to use with an admittedly interesting designy tour of LA. And thank the chuckle gods he did, with gems such as these sprinkled liberally throughout: “This is going green 1949-style, bitch.” He totally needs his own show. [E!]
Let’s hope Rachel Weisz is blessed with a healthy dollop of self-esteem, with husband Daniuel Craig waxing lyrical about the “perfect” body of his The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo co-star, Rooney Mara – not to mention his easily misconstrued discussion of teen boy physicality. “She’s physically perfect,” he said. “When she puts the hoodie on and the leather jacket, she looks like a 14-year-old boy, she looks sexless. Which is perfect.” [Page Six]
