Jane Curtain reveals John Belushi secret misogynist?

[Apr. 13]

Deceased Baby Boomer John Belushi of (The Blues Brothers (1980) fame) was unfriendly to women, says green celebrity actress and comedienne Jane Curtin. The Saturday Night Live funny woman who got her first big break doing variety comedy on SNL, recently dished dirt about the dead celebrity to Oprah Winfrey. The result? She has ignited a celebrity scandal debate over whether or not Belushi was a sexist (who thought men were better than women) or really a misogynist (a man who has a deep seated hatred of women) hiding behind comedy and his famous face.

Jane Curtain recently appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, alongside such comedy powerhouses as Chevy Chase and Tina Fey. Curtin said 1975, following the women’s liberation movement of the 1960s, was not a friendly time in the workplace for women who were competing for the jobs once exclusively held by men.

Jane Curtin called the environment “misogynistic.” She noted that she couldn’t even get a credit card in 1975, because she “was a self-employed female. Things were very different. Women were not treated equally,” she told Oprah. and she lashed out specifically at John Belushi.

Celebrity Scandal: Sylvester Stallone fighting Hollywood auction fraud?

Sylvester Stallone fighting Hollywood auction fraud?

[Apr. 13] Breaking News —

When word that the gloves from Rocky, as worn by green celebrity Sylvester Stallone himself, would be hitting the auction block, Sly himself did a double-take. He says the gloves are not the originals, and he’s had his attorney send a cease and desist letter, according to TMZ.

This could be trouble for Profiles in History, which deals in memorabilia and planned to auction the Rocky gloves next month. Profiles in History has complied and says it will withdraw the gloves from auction, though it claims to be very certain the storied gloves are legitimate.

According to IMDb, in addition to the gloves supposedly worn by Sylvester Stallone in Rocky, also up for auction are the robe Jeff Bridges wore in The Big Lebowski, the tweed jacket worn by James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause, a handwritten letter from Walt Disney, an “everlasting gobstopper” from Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, and a golden calf from The Ten Commandments.

But among all these items, green celebrity Sylvester Stallone claims the gloves to be auctioned are not actually the gloves he wore in Rocky. And his lawyer, Marty Singer, has been very demanding in the cease and desist letter, insisting that any attempt by Profiles in History to continue marketing the gloves as those worn by Sylvester Stallone in Rocky will be met with a particularly powerful lawsuit for damages.

Armenian Kim Kardashian not upset to be on Turkish Cosmopolitan cover?

Kim Kardashian celebrity scandal brews over her photo on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine in Turkey?

[Apr. 12]

Believe who you want but Kim Kardashian herself is saying that she is honored — not upset or appalled — over being featured as the cover model of Cosmopolitan in Turkey. The reality television celebrity is of Armenian descent and has long harbored ill feelings toward the Turkish government for the massacre and treatment of her people, but the modern Turkish culture is actually embracing Armenians more freely in the 21st century. That Cosmopolitan magazine, a worldwide organization, felt comfortable enough to put Kim Kardashian on the cover of their latest fashion magazine knowing that Genocide Remembrance Day falls during the month her edition will be on news stands is a bold statement, one that humbled the green celebrity.

Showbiz Spy reported (via Kim Kardashian herself by blog) the following celebrity quotes:

“Cosmopolitan magazine has a number of international editions all around the world that run in various territories, and when I did this shoot for the international covers I had no idea that Turkey was planning to run my story on their cover THIS month, considering Genocide Remembrance Day is this month.

“My Armenian heritage means a lot to me and I’ve been brought up to be incredibly proud of my family’s background and culture so as an Armenian-American woman it is a huge honor for me to be on the first ever Armenian Cosmopolitan cover.

“I have an amazing relationship with Cosmopolitan Magazine. World-over, Cosmo is known as a fun and inspiring magazine for women of all races, shapes, sizes, regardless of their political beliefs and I really hope that if I can bring awareness to the issue, then this in an accomplishment.”

While other sources who apparently don’t follow Kim Kardashian online have been frantically reporting the first part of her quote and claiming Kim Kardashian is proud of her heritage, they made the misstep in logic by assuming she was appalled by Cosmo not telling her she would be on the cover of the Turkey Cosmopolitan magazine.

Kim Kardashian is not about promoting hostility and division. She is not about hating a people because of their origin or nationality. She is about bringing a sense of freedom and empowerment to women worldwide.

As a green celebrity, Kim Kardashian has spent an enormous amount of time helping promote ideas of natural beauty being from the inside out.

Congrats on the cover, Kim — it’s a real beauty.
