EVENING NIGHTCAP: Just Call Her "Shi". Good Luck With That Blake. Sloan Is Back!

 

 

►Shiloh Nouvel Jolie Pitt (19), the daughter of Angelina Jolie and Stale Bread Pitt, announced she wants to be known as simply "Shi". The aspiring wannabe dancer / choreographer / actor was recently spotted at an after-party for an event she choreographed for musician, Luella. I have no idea who the hell Luella is and I want to keep it that way. When Shi turned 18, she dropped Pitt from her last name. Can't say I blame her. The monogram on her towels would be SJP, and that would piss off My Little Pony Sarah Jessica Parker. Anyhoo, Shi, who has distanced herself from her messy dad, appears to be simplifying her life by shedding "Jolie" as well. Shi probably thinks the one-word name thing is better for her career. There are plenty of successful celebs with one-name: Prince, Cher, Madonna, Charo, and Lassie.   Read More

Comment: At least she didn't go the 3-word name route. I have an odd  distrust of people who have 3 names. No clue why. It's not like I've had bad experiences with 3-name people. Sarah Jessica Parker, Mary Lou Reton, Billy Ray Cyrus, Haley Joel Osment,and Phillip Seymour Hoffman are a few 3-namers that  I don't like. Yes, PSH...that dude gave me the heebie-jeebies, like Tom Hanks. There's something "off" about them. On the other hand, some of my favorite celebs have 3 names: James Earl Jones, Francis Ford Coppola, Jamie Lee Curtis. Go figure. 

 

► Blake UnLively is attempting to withdraw 2 of the claims in her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni. The 2 claims she wants to erase with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser are intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress. I have no idea what the differences are in them. Legal eagles suspect she's withdrawing them to prevent granting access of her medical records to Baldoni's team as required. Baldon's lawyer spat out the following comment in a filing about her withdrawal request:  Read More

"Instead of complying with the Medical RFPs, Ms. Lively's counsel recently advised us, in writing, that Ms. Lively is withdrawing her [infliction of emotional distress] Claims. However, Ms. Lively has refused the Wayfarer Parties' reasonable request that the withdrawal of such claims be with prejudice. She is only willing to withdraw her claims without prejudice. In other words, Ms. Lively wants to simultaneously: (a) refuse to disclose the information and documents needed to disprove that she suffered any emotional distress and/or that the Wayfarer Parties were the cause; and (b) maintain the right to re-file her IED Claims at an unknown time in this or some other court after the discovery window has closed. Ms. Lively cannot have it both ways. If Ms. Lively wants to withdraw her frivolous IED Claims, the Wayfarer Parties are entitled to a dismissal with prejudice to ensure they will not be re-filed."

Comment: When I read "Wayfarer" my mind instantly went to Wayfair. It reminded me that I need to buy new bath towels. I'm super picky about bath towels. I like plush, fluffy towels made of 100% cotton and they cannot have any embellishments. Okay, back to our story: I would not be shocked if Blake eventually tries to have the lawsuit dismissed. Her reputation and career (along with that of her husband, Ryan Reynolds) is going down in flames faster than a mosquito hitting a bug zapper. And you know what? I'm giddy about it. For too long, they've been stomping around Hollywood throwing their weight around like two entitled Godzillas.

► Looking like a sassy gym teacher, actress Mia Sara (57) who is best known as Sloan from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, made a rare red carpet appearance for the new movie, Life of Chuck. The movie is directed by Mike Flanagan and is based on a novella by Stephen King. The cast includes Mark Hamill, Tom Hiddleston and  Chiwetel Ejiofor. Mia hasn't appeared in a movie in 12 years as she took a hiatus from acting. In the Life of Chuck, she plays the memaw to Tom Hiddleston's character. Whaaat? Sloan is playing a grandma? How is that possible? To me, she's still Sloan. Anyway, she has been living the quiet life in England with her husband, Brian Henson. His dad was Jim Henson, the creator of the Muppets. Can you imagine having Jim Henson as your father in law? How cool is that!  Read More

Comment:  I gotta say that Sloan (Govt Name: Mia Sara) is aging beautifully. Living in England and away from the Hollywood cesspool must agree with her. When she was asked if she would consider making more movies, she responded by saying if director Mike Flanagan asks, she would be there. You know what? They should make a sequel to Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It can about Ferris and Sloan's kid ditching school and sneaking on board the Blue Origin space flight instead of the skank squad of the inflatable devices Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez, and Gayle King.
