The Dishing Diva

Oscar nominee Penelope Cruz’s thick Spanish accent landed her in trouble in a TV chat with fellow actress Halle Berry as she kept referring to Halle’s movie as Monster’s Balls.

The Nine star admitted she struggles to pronounce the name of the film – Monster’s Ball – which won Halle a Best Actress Oscar. And she proved it by balls-ing up again on camera.

The movie beauties ended up in fits of giggles as they interviewed each other on Oprah Winfrey’s Oscars Special.

Penelope confessed: “I have a problem with the title of the movie. A lot of people laugh at me because when I say it, it sounds like the balls of the monster.

“I have tried to correct myself.”

Penelope burst out laughing and failed to finish her question as she started: “But in Monster’s Balls….”

The pair also giggled as Penelope asked Halle about the famous sofa sex scene in the film.

Halle told how she will watch Sunday’s ceremony “in my JJs at home with a glass of wine.”

Complex has called Kanye West “The Most Influential Brand In The Universe.”

Kanye tells Complex his thoughts on why people are curious about his sexuality:

“I really think it’s because society tries to dictate the way a guy is supposed to dress and the way a guy is supposed to act, and I refuse to conform. A lot of these dudes would never be accused of being gay just because they all look exactly alike. If people could just realize the amount of mundaneness and followers that lack creativity… I think people’s mentality is like, Only gay people are that creative. And it’s true there are a lot of gay people who are incredible creative minds, but there are straight people who are incredible creative minds—and there’s gay people who can’t dress or create at all, too. Closed-minded gay people probably say they dress ’straight.’”

Be-jeweling and dazzling your eyes isn’t something handsome men do. They don’t have a faux-facade.

It seems to me that lately all his influences or inspirations seem to come from a lot of jokes… at his expense. This photo looks as if he got flour-bombed by PETA.

Jessica is on tour with Rascal Flatts and she opened the show on Thursday at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

During the concert, Jessica gave the women in the audience this little tidbit of advice:

“To any woman out there who is in an abusive relationship, let me tell you that each and every single woman, you can take your heart and run so far away and fall in love again, and that’s the reason I recorded this song called ‘Remember That’.”

Jessica also told the audience this bit of info:

“So I have to say that every time I’ve performed Madison Square Garden my pants have completely ripped in half because I’d go down and hit a note, so tonight I decided to wear a little, like ‘Scort,’ not a skirt, but it’s like shorts, just so they wouldn’t split, anyways!”

Hmm, if her ex-hubby Nick didn’t abuse her he needs to speak up! In light of the Chris/RiRi alleged assault recently, discussions about domestic violence are going to be going on much more. If she isn’t referring to Nick and she means someone else, who could it be, and if she means Nick, this kind of talk could ruin him because scandalous talk spreads like wild fire.

Starpulse has informed Diddy fans what his personal hygiene routine is while he gets in the mood and gets gets ready to go out. He told them the following:

“It takes me an hour and a half to get ready to go out. I meditate for a bit. Then I pick out an outfit that takes 20 minutes. Then I shower, and when I get out of the shower, I don’t towel dry, I air dry. I have air dry fans in my room. Then I do some push ups and crunches. Then I dance around the room a bit.”

I totally dig the dancing around part… I mean doesn’t everyone who is anyone do that?! The air drying? This is something new to me. It seems that Diddy doesn’t like the feeling of towels! This was reported in the UK Sun three years ago… I must have missed that.

He said he never uses towels and that he does use “certain bath salts and bath oils or bath and shower gels then I just walk around, watch the news.”

He is odd.

Here is a clip of Madonna falling on her well-toned fine a** in Rio. It’s the little embarrassing moments in life that for most of us who aren’t celebrities don’t get recorded on Youtube. Skip to about the 0:35 mark in the video below to watch her beautiful butt cheeks hit the floor. If the diva that she is had taken off those heart-shaped sunglasses, she would have seen the damn water on the stage!

In other Madonna related news, she paid off her ex-husband Guy Ritchie 76 million to finalize their divorce. They still need to work out custody arrangements of their two sons, but have agreed to call a truce and celebrate Christmas together in England.

Dita Von Teese launched her new line of 1940s & 1950s inspired lingerie items for Wonderbra at Covent Garden in London today. She posed for photographers swinging in a giant model of one of her bras wearing a beautiful peach dress, high heels, flawless makeup and hair.

She had this to say:

“I’m going to move to Paris like all the other glamorous stars of the past that moved to Paris,” There are certain places that men always appreciate their glamour girls and especially their showgirls of any age, so I really am going to move to Paris, I think.”

“My first job when I was 15 years old was working in a lingerie store,” she told Reuters. “I worked there for many years and my obsession and love of lingerie is really what made me become a pinup model and burlesque dancer.”

While she is famous for dancing in giant cocktail glasses as well as being the former wife of Marilyn Manson, despite their divorce, she considers herself lucky in love.

“I think I’ve been very lucky in love. I’ve had lots of wonderful affairs and, you know, I haven’t found the great love of my life … I think I’m pretty lucky in love. May be not the way other people consider love to be lucky, but I’m all for the adventure of life and I don’t want it all to be one way and I don’t really need a storybook ending.”

Tina Turner may have said that she was retiring from touring but much like Cher, she has the power to change her mind and come out like a liar.

She can do whatever she wants. Tina’s new tour starts on October 1st in Kansas and tickets for her tour go on sale on May 12th. The Oprah show with Cher and Tina will air on May 8th. Be sure to check that out as the 2 divas sing ‘Proud Mary’ together.
