Anyway, in other news, the plot thickens re: her ill-fated “Do What U Want” video, which was meant to feature R Kelly and which has still not come out. My guess is that she wants to distance herself from R Kelly as much as possible — which, fine, but too little too late. [Us]
To all the tabloids that will inevitably report that
Jennifer Aniston spent her 45th birthday ALONE, WITHOUT
JUSTIN THEROUX: cool it, guys. She was busy hanging out with
Gloria Steinem and poking fun at everyone’s deranged patriarchal expectations, which is a great way to spend one’s birthday.
“The public has a great interest in our personal lives,” said Aniston at the Makers Conference yesterday. “[As women] our value and our worth is basically associated
with our marital status or whether or not we have procreated.” To which Steinem responded, “Well, I guess we’re in deep shit!” [People]
Patrick Dempsey is on the cover of
Architectural Digest. This is a real quote from the article: “‘It’s fun here,’ Dempsey said of the Frank Gehry-designed home on 3.24 acres, which he bought for $7 million.” It’s pretty ok being covered in these diamonds. This pile of money is kinda sweet, I guess.
Here‘s a video tour of the home. [

Nazanin Boniandi from
