Eva Longoria cookbook better than Gwyneth Paltrow’s new book because she is a better cook?

[Apr. 10]

Gwyneth Paltrow and Eva Longoria both have released a new celebrity chef cookbook recently, though the cookbook by Gwyneth Paltrow, My Father’s Daughter, is getting knocked for being too pretentious.

Foodie sources say the green celebrity actress comes from a far different background than that of Desperate Housewives green celebrity star and Golden Globe nominee Eva Longoria. Some people are saying that the cookbook by Gwyneth Paltrow is too pretentious for regular woman who don’t cook with duck bacon, soy milk, and 60 dollar olive oil.

Really? Go figure.

Gwyneth Paltrow comes from money, and her new website GOOP has come under heavy criticism for the star celebs and her friends offering ridiculous lifestyle advice no one other than those in Hollywood income brackets can afford.

But Eva Longoria, on the other hand, is a restaurant owner with Beso Steakhouse locations in Hollywood and Los Angeles. Despite the fact she’s made a tidy fortune on Desperate Housewives and working in L’Oreal commercials giving her celebrity endorsement to the French company’s make up products, she’s earned her fortune.

Eva Longoria, of Mexican descent, grew up the youngest of four children on a ranch in Texas with a mother, a special education teacher with a special needs daughter (the eldest), who always had dinner on the table by 6 p.m., according to TheCelebrityCafe.com.

Karina Smirnoff posing for Playboy true rumor?

[Apr. 11]

As if the name Smirnoff does not already evoke a sense of wicked lifestyle and debutant debauchery, Karina Smirnoff (no relation to the vodka brand) from the 2011 season of Dancing with the Stars will be featured in the May issue of Playboy magazine, People magazine reports. But it could be hot water for the dancing career of the Ukrainian hottie, who dances with celebrity actor Ralph Macchio, the original Karate Kid, say sources.

“If Karina posed naked [for Playboy], she can kiss her dancing days goodbye,” a ‘DWTS’ insider told PopEater’s Rob Shuter immediately after hearing of Playboy chief Hugh Hefner’s announcement on Twitter. “I hope for Karina’s sake that this isn’t true.”

Well, it is too late it seems, if People Magazine is to be believed. The entertainment journal and its relates sources are all quoting the DWTS professional dancer beauty and saying:

“I’m fearless and love the adrenaline rush,” the dancing pro, 32, tells Playboy, underscoring the point by posing nude in the May issue.

“The May issue of Playboy is unforgettable with Dancing With The Stars’ Karina Smirnoff on the cover and nude inside,” Hefner tweeted on Wednesday.

Lindsay Lohan to play mobster daughter in John Travolta movie?

Hollywood Gossip!

Troubled Lindsay Lohan to play controversial mobster daughter in John Travolta movie?

[Apr. 10]

Rumors are flying that troubled Lindsay Lohan has been hand-picked by Victoria Gotti, controversial daughter of the famed mobster John Gotti, to play the role of the mob daughter in a new John Travolta film, TMZ reports. It is rumored that Victoria Gotti is friends with the Lohan family and visits them on Long Island. Lohan also is auditioning in Los Angeles for a role in Superman but is returning to New York to wrap up talks about the Gotti film, starring John Travolta. Other picks for the role are Blake Lively and Sienna Miller.

MTV attempted to confirm the choice of Lindsay Lohan for the Gotti role alongside John Travolta with a representative for the film who would neither confirm nor deny any talks that may be underway. When asked if Lohan was hand-picked by Victoria Gotti for the role, the representative said only, “You’d have to ask Victoria Gotti.”

The film is to be called Gotti: Three Generations, and is confirmed to star celebrity John Travolta in the leading role as mobster John Gotti, head of the Gambino crime family, according to MTV. Lindsay Lohan already knows a little something about crime from both sides of the bars. She has rejected a plea deal for her latest theft charges and is opting for a trial instead. It could mean jail time for her if convicted, and could stall production of the film if chosen.

After four months in rehab at the Betty Ford Clinic earlier this year, Lindsay Lohan could use the work and the distraction. MTV further notes that Lohan was turned down last year for a role in Inferno about Linda Lovelace because the film’s director had said “the impossibility of insuring her” squashed the troubled actor’s chances.
