Whenever I think of mama’s boys trying to pass themselves off as Hollywood heartthrobs, my mind always goes straight to Bradley Cooper. I swear, poor Zoe Saldana AND Renee Zellweger spent more quality time with B-Coop’s mother than they ever spent with Bradley. But would you peg Ryan Reynolds as a mama’s boy? I don’t know much about his family, but I’ve heard general things about his family being tight-knit, nice, normal Canadians. I just looked them up – his dad has Parkinson’s, which is just awful. Awful for his dad, and awful for the family. Ugh… anyway, by all accounts, they’re a tight-knit family, as is Blake’s family. So, a few weeks about Ryan took Blake to Canada so they could spend some time with his family, after they spent many, many mini-breaks and holidays with her family. I’m positive that this is not the first time Blake has met Ryan’s family, but according to Star Magazine, there was something about this trip that pitted Blake and Ryan’s mom against each other. Tammy Reynolds thinks Blake is a diva. Blake thinks Tammy needs to mind her beeswax. Who shall be victorious? As they blissfully prepare to share their lives together in a new home, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s whirlwind eight-month romance has hit a major snag. The couple’s recent visit to his hometown of Vancouver erupted into a showdown between Blake and Ryan’s mother Tammy – causing a furious Blake, 24, to storm off, a source tells Star. Ryan’s mom, a retired salesperson, “is a straight-talker who speaks her mind,” says a source. “She hasn’t really warmed to Blake.” “Tammy would like to see Ryan with a woman who’s not in the movie business because she feels that, ultimately, actresses put their careers first,” says the source. “And she thinks Blake is pressuring Ryan into settling down before he’s ready. He also rushed into his first marriage, with Scarlett Johansson.” Indeed, Blake and Ryan are “unofficially engaged” and planning to wed in the summer of 2013 at the $2.6 million estate they recently purchased in Bedford, NY, the source reveals. But Tammy is urging them to relocate to Vancouver full-time. “She says when they have kids, Blake and Ryan should raise them in Canada because it’s safer,” says the source. “Blake refuses to even consider that, saying that she has to be in NYC for work.” Despite her objections to the hasty wedding, Tammy “has also been trying to take over the wedding planning,” says the source. “She wants to invite all these family friends Blake doesn’t know.” The mama drama came to a head during a May 6 dinner at the Reynolds family home. “When Tammy started grilling her, Blake left the room and had a meltdown… she told Ryan she wanted to stay at a hotel for the rest of the trip.” Blake cooled down enough to dine with the actor, his brother and sister-in-law the next day, “But she made it clear to Ryan that Tammy was not welcome.” Now tensions remain high. “Tammy says it proves she’s right: Blake’s a diva… Ryan is torn between them – and in an impossible position.” [From Star Magazine , print edition] While I think Tammy has some good points – especially about actresses prioritizing their careers and about Blake pushing Ryan so fast – I do think Tammy needs to butt out. Moving to Canada? No. Interjecting herself into wedding plans? No. I mean, was Scarlett Johansson the perfect daughter-in-law? No. And Blake won’t be the perfect daughter-in-law either, but Tammy’s son has a thing for big-boobed blonde actresses, and if that’s his prerequisite, he could do SO much worse. I know I’m about to get many, many lectures from mother’s of mama’s boys, but seriously ladies, why can’t you let your sons just make their own mistakes? Why does it always have to only be about your future daughter-in-law being a Leo DiCaprio-boning, workaholic hussy? That’s obviously what your son likes. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet and WENN.

Star: Blake Lively hates Ryan Reynolds’ mom, and the feeling is mutual

Masseur-Gate: Day (COUGH). It feels like we’ve been doing this for a while, right? So, how’s your family? Your hair looks pretty today. Okay, let’s get into it. Yesterday, we discussed how a fourth man has come forward to claim that John Travolta had groped and fondled him. Doe #3 works for a gym, and he used to let Travolta come in after hours to work out, and that’s when Travolta allegedly assaulted him. We also discussed how Doe #1 had signed Gloria Allred as his new lawyer, after being dropped by Okorie Okorocha. Well, it’s a bad week to be Mr. Okorocha, because Doe #2 (the Georgia masseur) just fired him and signed on with Allred too. Here are some bullet points for the last 24 hours in Masseur-gate. *Gloria Allred’s office confirmed that she is now representing Doe #2: “We are now representing John Doe #2. We believe that the lawsuit should be filed in another court and, therefore, the lawsuit that was on file was dismissed without prejudice. We will be conferring with our client regarding what will happen next in this case.” *Apparently, Doe #2 hated Okorie Okorocha. A source tells Radar, “The Atlanta masseur just didn’t trust Okorie going forward, and he didn’t think his attorney had his best interests in mind… The masseur absolutely [will] pursue legal action against Travolta.” *Doe #2 had some kind of drama that I didn’t pay attention to – it was getting complicated with all of the Radar reports and shouty headlines. Somebody gave Radar an email that I think was written by Doe #2 in which he discussed the alleged assault by Travolta, only the dates are all mixed up or something. You can read the whole story here. *This week’s Enquirer has a really awful story about Travolta’s relationship with the late Jeff Conway. Conway’s former fiancée, Vikki Lizzi, told the Enquirer that Conway was “dismayed” to wake up one morning in the 1990s to find Travolta performing oral sex on him. The disconcerting beej was so traumatizing, Conway ended his friendship with Travolta, and Conway came clean about the incident in a suicide note to Lizzi (before a failed suicide attempt in 2006). Lizzi also says that Conway told her that Kelly Preston & Travolta’s marriage “was an arrangement… Jeff said that Kelly knows that John is gay, and that’s why she’s OK with it.” *Travolta’s lawyers deny all of the Conway stuff, of course. You can read the point-by-point denial here . *Another masseur has come forward, but this one claims that he and Travolta had consensual and enjoyable sex. The masseur’s name is Luis Conzalez, and you can read his story here . Luis says Travolta is “a great kisser… I know because I had sex with him, and he loved it.” Their one night together was, Luis claims, back in 1997 at the Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel, CA. The whole thing started as a standard massage, but within minutes Luis and Travolta were in bed together. My favorite quote: “Travolta may not identify himself as a gay man, but it doesn’t dismiss the fact that he likes sex with men.” Perfection. * Radar reports this morning that a THIRD MASSEUR has now come forward to claim that Travolta groped him too. This dude is “New York based” and he says that Travolta groped him during a hotel massage two years ago – but the dude hasn’t decided whether or not he will sue. Part of his story, via a mystery “source”: “The latest masseur says that around two years ago he received a call to do an in-room massage in a five star hotel in New York City. When he arrived at the room he claims that he began to massage Travolta. The man alleges that there was unwanted groping that he endured and that Travolta also indicated that he wanted much MORE than a massage. He also claims that there was alcohol present in the room and that Travolta encouraged the man to drink with him during the time of the massage. The masseur is currently assessing what his legal options are.” *Kelly Preston posted this video on her website, claiming that John made it for her for Mother’s Day. The music is Barbra Streisand, but my first thought was “Why are these loving family photos set to sad violins from Schindler’s List?” Right? That’s all I’ve got for now. This thing is such a mess, and poor Marty Singer (Travolta’s lawyer) is putting out fires to any media outlet he can get on the phone. How many times can you really attack the many media outlets with all of these different claims and sources, some of them named? How many times can you pish-posh and tut and say that these reports should just be ignored out of hand? Photos courtesy of WENN.

I kind of feel like the Cannes Film Festival has gotten off to a slow start . I remember last year’s festival (I watched from afar) – last year’s was crazy at the beginning, and by Day 5, everyone was kind of bored. This year, organizers back-loaded it so that some of the biggest “name” celebrities will be showing up next week. Maybe this is smart – smaller films get more attention first, and then the glitz and glamour really comes to head in the middle and the end. Anyway, on Thursday, Marion Cotillard was the star of the day with a photo call and premiere for her new film Rust and Bone . Marion wore Christian Dior for both events… and I find myself liking both of the ensembles. The peachy-pink of the day look could have washed her out terribly, but it ended up accentuating her beautiful skin. And the black ball gown is rather gorgeous. My one complaint – I think Marion’s giant hairpiece-bun thing is excessive. You can do a fancy up-do for the Cannes red carpet without it looking like you attached a coffee can to the back of your head. We need to have a conversation about Marion’s Rust and Bone costar, Matthias Schoenbaerts. OMG. He’s so… pretty. I want one. Fan Bing Bing in Elie Saab Couture. This is some Grey Gardens sh-t, right? Eva Longoria in Emilio Pucci. Such an improvement from yesterday’s Marchesa!!! This is very pretty/boring on her – I would have changed her hair here. Freida Pinto in Versace. Another improvement from yesterday’s Moonrise Kingdom red carpet. This color is very difficult to pull off, and I would never even attempt it. I think it works on her, though. And the design is very sexy. I want to straighten her up though – her body language tells me she’s not comfortable with the slit. Jane Fonda in boring Stella McCartney. Your eye is supposed to be “fooled” into thinking Jane is super-skinny. It’s just… meh. Hate the shoulders too. Photos courtesy of WENN.

Stepping out with his baby for the first time, Chris Hemsworth was spotted with his bundled up newborn daughter and his beautiful bride in London, England on Wednesday (May 16). The “Thor” actor carried his tiny princess, India Rose, who was half tucked into his blue jacket while wife, Elsa Pataky , who looked as if she’s already bounced her body back into shape just five days after giving birth! Chris recently revealed that he and his wife decided on the name even before they knew it was a girl, telling E! News, “It was just a name we liked, I always kind of liked Indie or Indiana for a boy and she liked India.” The 28-year-old actor added, “We sort of went, ‘Oh well, whether it’s a boy or girl, that will decide.’ It just seemed to fit.” Hemsworth then said, “I’ve wanted to have kids for a long time, and here it is, and I couldn’t be happier.” These days, the hunky big screen star has a lot to smile about, as his bundle of joy’s arrival comes right in the middle of his booming acting career.
