Gerard Butler, Guy Ritchie, and an Ass Jab
Above, a portrait of Gerard Butler and Guy Ritchie from San Diego's Comic-Con. Butler stars in Ritchie's new film RocknRolla. Butler has been regaling audiences with a tale of how Madonna injected a B-12 vitamin shot in his ass when he was sick while they were filming: "I was sick, and she was a nurse basically. Guy introduced me to her and she said, 'You''re the sick one?' and I said, 'Yes.' Well, she was amazing. She just said, 'Drop your pants.'"
Ritchie told People that his marriage to Madonna "is fine as far as I'm aware of." Madonna was photographed over the weekend looking particularly haggard and speculation immediately arose that many things have been taking their toll on her lately — marriage, the tell-all, her intense workouts and tour, but it could have been that she was just tired and not wearing any make-up. It was also reported over the weekend that she and Ritchie would renew their vows.
Meanwhile, Page Six published a report that Madonna had a hand in her brother Christopher's tell-all:
"She actually ghost-wrote parts of it with him, the way Princess Diana helped Andrew Morton write his book on her. That's why there's nothing too devastating in Chris's book. He's mean to others, but not so much to his sister."

Wow.
Does being an exercise fanatic make you look like THAT?
Oh, and Mads looks like she might also be in the first stages of plastic surgery addiction .

She's not following Joan Crawford's philosophy at all, " a star should always look like a star"--even if you're just going to Walmart to pick up toilet paper...be beautiful!

At least now Christopher has the cover photo for the paperback edition of his tome. Thanks paps!

The Madonna pic is a weird moment; she looks bedraggled and bad in the rest of that series, but not as alien as she does in this one, which is mid-sentence or mid-mouth-stretch. I like that Madonna runs around with no makeup and doesn't follow Joan on that tip. But that's why I'd always hoped she would avoid plastic surgery. I don't like the plumped cheeks. Anything else that's happened (probably a lower face lift and eyejob) is no big deal. The cheeks are just bad news, especially when combined with being so gaunt.
As for the report on the book = rubbish. Anyone who's read it knows it's in no way flattering to her even if there is nothing career-killing inside (Madonna's a bitch, she's cheap, she's callous...).
Also, Madonna would not be ghost-writing a book—I'm a big fan of hers, but she didn't even write her children's books. NO CELEBRITIES ACTUALLY WRITE THEIR OWN BOOKS. Ever. :0)

I was looking at the picture of Gerard Butler and feeling some amazement at how quickly he went from hot to not, then I scroll down and see the crypt keeper...wow...it's a little too much to handle. Guy looks pretty shiteous as well. Maybe she's been injecting them all with kabbalah brand ugly juice rather than B12.

Looks like a failed face-lift. Grab that

Interesting goss about Madonna, but why the photo of Skeletor?

Look at her... no wonder the new album sucks so bad.

Those are the most hideous photos of all of them...especially Madonna. Her makeup artist deserves an award or medal of some kind. Scary!
I too thought maybe she had a hand in writing Christopher's book, since the timing is so opportune, with her new album, the new tour, etc., but even tho' it's not a very flattering portrait, it doesn't really reveal anything anyone didn't guess about her before. Everyone pretty well knew she was a MAJOR BITCH (but I still love her).
Girlfriend really REALLY needs to wear makeup when leaving the house (much like Oprah) lol. Don't want to scare children!

You guys are no different from that Knoxville shooter, you just use words instead. I wonder sometimes if gay men really deserve compassion.
At the end, I guess they do. We all do.

Because we just "murdered" them by talking about how bad they look? Ummm...actually they are unharmed, I can assure you. Also, without us buying their albums and concert tickets and going to see '300' and 'Phantom' about five times each...they wouldn't have a pot to piss in.
There's a big difference in teasing people you love or at least like...as opposed to murdering people you hate with a passion.

I wonder how many of you take perfect photos at all times?
If Madonna doesn't watch it with the B-12 injections, she's going to get popped for practicing medicine without a license.

Good god Felix! Does someone need to empty your litter box or something?
Lighten up, sister.

PETER:
If I was worth hundreds of millons of dollars YES I would take perfect photos all the time. Chile, I'd look like Ava Gardner one day, and then Lena Horne the next! (would try Lana Turner too, but I'm a little too dark for the blonde wig)
Felix,
Your comment was so sincere, I do feel kinda' bad. Yes, we homos can be kinda' mean when discussing celebrities, but so can straight folks. She's got a lot of money to make herself look good, Felix...and if it's a stressful time-- what about a pair of sunglasses.

What the hell happened to Gerry Butler? He has aged 10 years in 12 months. That puff face is a mess. God, he used to be so perfect!!!! I am so depressed!
Posted by: Annie | Jul 28, 2008 3:59:45 PM
OK gents then leave Gerard Butler to me. I like a little meat on the bone!
Posted by: Ted | Jul 29, 2008 1:41:10 AM
Most unfortunate photo of a celebrity.
EVER.
My God, that's just horrible.
Gerard Butler, though, just does it for me.

Her brother should shut his ugly maw. He is simply grotesque in his sucking up the cast off limelight of his sister. If there were no Madonna, CC wouldn't exist. Indeed, he SHOULDN'T.
