I try to like Mark Wahlberg, but it’s sometimes difficult. Like, I think he’s a much better actor than he’s often given credit for. He’s one of the rare “butch” male action stars capable of showing real emotion, depth and vulnerability on screen. I think of him like Bruce Willis – they get stuck in the “action” genre, but both are underrated dramatic actors. However, there’s an issue with Mark’s personality. He’s a successful producer, and his production company has a stable of successful television shows, which means that he’s always at awards shows, representing his shows. And Awards Show Mark is kind of douche. He makes it all about himself, and his attitude borders on disrespectful. So, I already had mixed feelings… and now this. Mark covers the new issue of Men’s Journal , and this is a humdinger of douchebaggery, in convenient interview form. Brace yourself. What he would have done if he had been on one of the airplanes that was hijacked on 9/11: “If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did,” Wahlberg says. “There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.’” He lets his wife pick date night movies: “As long as it isn’t a Sarah Jessica Parker movie… The last time I really cried a lot? During ‘The Help.’ I cried about six or seven times. It was the wife’s choice, but it was a great movie.” On jerking off: “I don’t get down with jerking off, dude. Look. I don’t believe in everything that the church says. I try to do the right thing. I lead a clean and pure life. I’m a married guy. I have a beautiful wife. Sex is not the most important thing to me, being horny all the time, spanking the — I mean, it’s not against the law. You can do whatever you want. And it’s not like, ‘I shouldn’t do it because of my faith.’ I’m just not really that into it that much anyway.” [Via MSNBC and HuffPo ] Obviously, it’s the 9/11 quote that bugs. That’s what I’m talking about with his disrespectful attitude, like he’s a big action star and he obviously knows best. We don’t know what it was like for those poor people on the airplanes on 9/11, but to publicly play a game of “If I was there…” is crass and tasteless. As for the jerking off stuff – do you even believe him about that? I don’t. But then again, I think he’s screwing around on his wife. A lot. UPDATE: CB just reminded me that Mark was originally scheduled to be on one of the hijacked flights on 9/11, but he changed his tickets last minute. That really doesn’t change my opinion that his statement in this interview is douchey, though. He’s basically saying that all of the people on those flights (even the ones on the United flight that went down in Pennsylvania) were pussies, and that he’s the only badass left in the world.

This news came out over the weekend but I’m just seeing it now and it’s too good to pass up. Radar Online got ahold of the documents from Kris Jenner’s 1991 divorce from the late legal powerhouse Robert Kardashian. We’ve already heard that Kris cheated on Robert during their marriage. Kris freely admitted to an affair in her memoir and that’s how Khloe was rumored to be conceived. Well according to the divorce papers, Kris unsurprisingly cheated on Robert with her latest husband, diva Bruce Jenner , as well. That’s this lady’s M.O. so it’s to be expected, as is the massive child and spousal support she felt she was entitled to. It’s a pretty interesting read and reveals exactly what matters to this family, and the lengths they’ll go to get it. Here’s more: According to the divorce papers, which you can read exclusively here on RadarOnline.com, the couple went head-to-head over Kris’ lavish spending and Robert accused his then-wife of flaunting her new relationship with now-husband, Bruce Jenner in front of the children even letting the kids see them in bed together! In the documents, filed in the Los Angles Superior Court, Robert revealed he was so upset when he found out about the affair, after almost 12 years of marriage, that the court feared he was a threat to his family and awarded Kris temporary custody of Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Robert Jr. But Robert claimed the court ordered psychologist found his anger problems were “only situational.” “This is true,” Robert said. “It was true that I was very upset when I found out the respondent was having an affair and I wanted a divorce.” According to the documents, after discovering the affair an angry Robert cancelled Kris’ credit cards, store cards and stopped paying for her extravagant lifestyle ­ something Kris bitterly fought against as she claimed she deserved the “luxury lifestyle” she had been leading. “The petitioner and I shared a luxury lifestyle,” Kris said in her petition for spousal and child support. “Nothing was too good for our family. Even our children’s clothing was purchased at exclusive boutiques.” In her petition, Kris goes on to detail her tastes for fancy restaurants and boutiques, high-priced European holidays and lavish home entertainment ­ “The New Year’s Eve party alone cost between $10,000 and $12,000. Since January 1990 the petitioner has essentially cut me off from all funds. “In order to have some cash at my disposal to meet the basic needs of myself and my children, I have taken a job offered to me by my friend who has just gone through a divorce. “(But) I am earning less money than our paid household help,” Kris said. Robert, at the time, claimed to be unemployed and only earning $2,000, but Kris told the court it was voluntary as he wanted more money than what had been offered to him by a law firm, so she demanded he be ordered to work to cover her and the family’s expenses ­ which monthly added up to a massive $37,189! According to Kris’ sworn statement this included the $15,000 a month mortgage payment on the Beverly Hills home, wages for a gardener, a maid and housekeeper as well as clothing costs. According to Kris, each month she spent $800 on clothing for all four children but spent $2000 on herself. Kris’ lawyers also demanded Robert pay for the family’s extensive debts on store cards for some of Los Angeles top stores including Neiman Marcus and Saks 5th Avenue ­ which had grown to more than $21,000. Money problems aside, Kris accused Robert of emotionally abusing her with a then 9-year-old Kim forced to witness the aftermath. “As a result of (Robert) and my irreconcilable differences, there is a tremendous amount of discord at the family residence,” Kris claimed in her petition. “Every time (Robert) and I speak, (Robert) emotionally abuses me to the point that I am unable to handle the simplest tasks for hours after our conversation. In every conversation (Robert) and I have, (Robert) calls me a whore, a bitch, a slut and other names I can not repeat. “On May 3, 1990 Kimberly found me crying after a brutal conversation with (Robert) and she became so upset I had a difficult time getting her to her carpool on time. Kimberly called my office twice that afternoon crying hysterically, begging me to come home.” Because of the alleged abuse and Robert’s erratic but “excessive doting attention” on the children, Kris demanded Robert be banned from the family home. However, Robert argued he be allowed to move back into the home to protect the children from Kris’ now husband Bruce Jenner ­ claiming Bruce and Kris’ relationship was detrimental to the children and Robert Jr. even witnessed his still-married mother in bed with Bruce! According to Robert’s statement, while he was forced to live with relatives Kris had moved Bruce in, along with his four children ­ including reality star Brody Jenner ­ as well as his extended family. “I believe this situation is inappropriate for several reasons,” Robert said. “Firstly my children are exposed to another man living with their mother. I believe that is inappropriate and I ask the court to enjoin and restrain (Kris) from living with any member of the opposite sex in or about the presence of our children. “As a matter of fact, my son Robert said he slept on the couch in (Kris’) bedroom when (Kris) and her boyfriend were in bed together in the bedroom. In my option this situation is detrimental to the children,” Robert told the court. [From Radar Online ] These are 1991 numbers remember, you can at least double them to estimate what they would be today. Poor Kris. She cheated on her husband, got caught and then complained that she could no longer afford to buy her kids designer clothing and go out to the best restaurants. The gall of these people is astounding. So if she didn’t get caught, would she have continued to cheat on the side? She probably never would have married Bruce if she didn’t need another meal ticket. She just wanted to get her rocks off during the day when she had nothing else to do, just as she explained in her memoir about the other guy. I doubt those were the only two affairs she had either. Speaking of Bruce, he was seen out over the weekend with a large scar on his face that looked like it was the result of plastic surgery. He claimed it was from the removal of a cancerous growth . He’s had several facelifts and has admitted to plastic surgery, so maybe he’s telling the truth. Or maybe he took a stiletto in the face from Kris. Also, check out the photo of Kris above. It’s from January 14. Compared to the photos of her below which are older, she looks like she got even more work done. So she probably went to the surgeon with Bruce. Kris is shown at some Miss America events this month and on New Year’s eve. That lady has no business wearing that purple leopard print dress. Photos of Bruce are from May. Credit: WENN.com

Kris Jenner’s divorce documents reveal she was cheating and money-grubbing

Jennifer Lopez’s 24 year-old backup dancer boyfriend doesn’t make enough money to keep her in the style that she’s accustomed to, so she’s remedied that. Star Magazine [ via Jezebel ] is reporting that she gives him a very generous $10,000 a week allowance. Some of that he spends on her, of course, and the rest he presumably gets to keep. So the little twerp is making over a half million a year just to screw J.Lo, drive her around in the Bentley she’s either lending or leasing him, buy her some presents and accompany her on vacations. I doubt she expects him to pay for accommodations out of that $10k a week. Insanely nice work if you can get it, and how again did this kid land the job? Just by being in the right place at the right time, for the woman who can’t stand to be alone for a minute. Here’s the story: Jennifer Lopez has a kept man! She hated having to whip out her credit card every time she went to dinner with 24-year-old dancer Casper Smart, and it “bummed her out” that Casper had to borrow money from her to buy her a Christmas present. So Jenny from The Block started giving the kid an allowance a “stipend” of $10,000 a week. According to a source, “She thought $10K was a nice round number.” Apparently Casper is “learning to live like a star,” flying on private jets and staying in luxury hotels. Now that he’s getting paid, “Jen is hoping Casper won’t think twice about buying presents for her kids of whisking her off for a surprise weekend getaway,” the source spills. “She can take care of herself just fine, but she’s old-fashioned when it comes to wanting the man to take charge.” Plus! He needs new clothes for events and stuff. Just think of her as Richard Gere and Casper as Julia Roberts, going “woo woo woo” at a polo game. Which means Jenny gets to snap a jewelry box on Casper’s fingers! Fun! But seriously, being a rich forty-something lady and gleefully supporting your much-younger house boy boyfriend is what America is all about, right? [Details from Star, writeup at Jezebel ] How is that “old fashioned” to give a “boyfriend” that much money and then sit back and pretend that they’re paying for everything? Bedhead pointed me to this story in the Post that suggests that Madonna might be doing the same thing with her much-younger boyfriend, Brahim Zaibat. Brahim was seen paying the bill at a restaurant with Madonna, which may mean that she gave him a credit card that she pays off for him. It’s probably cheaper than just giving the kid a hefty allowance. I guess it’s less embarrassing for these ladies to try and keep up the illusion that they don’t have kept men. It should be embarrassing enough that they’re dating them in the first place. J.Lo and Casper are shown outside a jewelry store on 12-18-11. Credit: Fame

Set for a big kickoff to 2012 with a “Glee” guest spot this month and a Broadway role in ‘Evita’ beginning in March, Ricky Martin also finds himself featured on the cover of the February issue of Latina magazine. Hitting newsstands on Tuesday (January 10), the 40-year-old “Shine” singer brought his charm to the front page while opening up about topics including marriage, becoming a parent and his Broadway plans. Highlights from Ricky’s interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Latina ! On returning to Broadway: “The people, the critics, are going to be expecting a lot. It has to be the best…You have to have the attitude that, ‘You know what? No one will stop me.’ It’s going to be a magical year.” On Babies: “I think that I’ll do it later on this year, so that [the kids] are not too far apart in ages. A little girl! Dios mío, me muero… But we’re going to talk about that later on. It would be irresponsible to do it now.” On whether he’d marry his partner Carlos Gonzalez Abella: “We are not talking about it, we’re not thinking about it. But I’m so happy that in Europe we have the option. It’s amazing to think that we can say, ‘I feel like it. I’m ready. Let’s go.’ ” On coming out: Coming out was liberating “for myself, my family, my core fans. They feel more in touch with me and I feel more in touch with them. If I feel free, they’re going to feel free and vice versa. It’s contagious.”

At some point over the holidays, this weird story about Jennifer Aniston came out. It was totally random, though. Maureen Dowd was eulogizing Sue Mengers, a legendary agent and “advisor” to various Hollywood stars, and Dowd mentioned a story about how Mengers advised her dear friend Jennifer Aniston to ask Brad Pitt for his sperm – in 2005, post-divorce. I mentioned that I thought it made Aniston look bad, and a lot of the Pity Party Patrol yelled at me for saying that, but look – Sue Mengers was Aniston’s friend and advisor. Mengers was quoted in high-profile articles ABOUT Aniston. They had a relationship. And this is the kind of person Aniston has a friend, and this is the kind of advise her “friends” give her. I don’t think it makes her look great. Anyway, Star Magazine’s cover story takes that little Sue Mengers anecdote and turns it into the most random story. Allegedly, Jennifer actually did get pregnant… with the hijacked sperm? And when Angelina found out about it, she “walked out” on Brad. Or something. A fuming Angelina Jolie stormed out after a huge blowup with Brad Pitt when she learned the bombshell news that he had tried to have a baby with another woman — his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston! According to Star, the drama unfolded after a report from the New York Times Magazine revealed that Jen’s close friend, Sue Mengers, advised the actress to request a sample of his sperm for future use after their big breakup! A shocked and angry Angelina accused Brad of scheming with Jen behind her back, but he adamantly denied the claim. He apologized, but a seething Angelina demanded to know everything, an insider told Star. That’s when the truth came out: Brad and Jen tried to have a baby, but she miscarried. “He had never told Angie this before,” the insider revealed and added that the 36-year-old felt “betrayed.” “She had assumed all along that she was the only woman Brad had ever impregnated. Now Angie is questioning everything, including whether she can ever trust Brad again.” Betrayed and shaken, she walked out and left Brad with their six young children — Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5 and twins Knox and Vivienne, 3. “Angie started driving to the airport but stopped because she couldn’t bring herself to leave the kids,” the insider said. “She didn’t want to abandon them.” Although Angelina was surprised by the news, a report in July 2004 revealed that the couple had endured a heartbreaking miscarriage. “It’s a very sore spot for Brad and Jen,” a different source explained. “Neither has talked about it with another person, until now.” Brad and Jen broke things off in 2005, but their marriage is still a sore spot for Angelina. “Brad doesn’t tell Angie everything, especially when it comes to Jen,” the source explained. “The mention of Jen makes Angie completely irrational. But he never imagined this would infuriate Angie to the extent that it has. Now it could spell the end of them forever.” [From Hollywood Life ] So, if I’m following the thread of this story correctly, the claim is that Angelina was already primed for a fight when she confronted Brad about how he might have given Aniston some of his magic juice, and that’s when Brad “confessed” that Aniston was actually pregnant in 2004…? Whatever. I don’t know why I’m trying so hard to make sense out of this. In other ZOMG BERMUDA TRIANGLE news, OK! Magazine (Via Jezebel & HL ) claims that Angelina is planning to get pregnant again – just to get at Jennifer Aniston. Because Angelina just plots away, every day, endlessly. An insider says: “Don’t get me wrong, Angelina’s having a child because she wants one, but part of her can’t wait to steal Jen’s thunder. She knows a Brangelina baby would be the best revenge of all. It’s just an added bonus. Brad and Angelina have been talking about having one more biological child for well over a year, but Angelina’s always resisted due to work commitments. Now that she’s getting a bit older, the pressure’s on.” Apparently The Great Baby War is one of the few things Angelina knows she can win – because she’s rife with jealousy because “a magazine recently voted Jen the hottest woman of all time — while she came in at number 10.” Apparently, the evil plot is working because a source says Aniston is already “sick” of getting calls about Brad and Angelina’s seventh baby. Whatevs, y’all. Photos courtesy of WENN.

There are few couples that I love as much as Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon. Kevin and Kyra have been together for 23 years! And they’re still going strong, through thick and thin, through career ups and downs, through financial disasters (they invested with Bernie Madoff), through parenthood and so much more. These are photos of the Sedgwick-Bacon clan in Hawaii over the holidays, where they were vacationing with their kids, Sosi (19) and Travis (22). Can we talk about Kevin and Kyra’s bodies for a second? Kevin still has it, doesn’t he? He looks fit and sexy, and he’s 53 years old! He must be a vampire! That’s what I kept thinking when I saw him in X-Men: First Class – how does he still look so young?!?!? Incidentally, I’ve seen a lot of movies this year, and X-Men: First Class is still one of my favorites, one of my top films of the year. Kevin was really good in it – an unexpectedly delicious villain. As for Kyra – she’s 46 years old, and I hope to look this good at her age. You can tell that she takes care of herself, and I like that she doesn’t look starved or ropey. She looks like she enjoys eating, and she works out. Incidentally, whenever I’m reading “Best of” lists, I’m always surprised that The Closer doesn’t make it onto more critics’ “Best of” lists. TNT just aired the final episodes of 2011, and I have to wait until next summer for this season to end. This last season of The Closer has been awesome, and there have been a lot of payoffs for long-term fans of the show. Kyra doesn’t get enough credit for being the center of this amazing show. Gah! What will I do without The Closer ? What will SHE do without The Closer ? Photos courtesy of Pacific Coast News.
