Verne Troyer, aka Mini Me of Austin Powers movie fame, has just been slapped with a temporary restraining order from model Yvette Monet. We will get to that later.

I don’t know much about Verne Troyer.
With the exception of his performance as Mini Me (which I really enjoyed), and his previous appearance on the Surreal Life reality show… I just didn’t know anything more about him.

His appearance on Surreal Life gave me a tiny (no pun intended) look into Verne’s true personality, which kind of disappointed me. From his drunken naked romp on his scooter and peeing on the floor, to the very strange noises he was making after ”Peter Brady” aka Christopher Knight carried Verne back to Verne’s room and had to put him back in his bed. That scene is forever etched in my brain. Ewww. I also found Verne kind of bratty.

So I did a little digging on Verne, and became even more dissapointed. I was a little shocked to find there had been a sex tape leaked involving Verne and former girlfriend, Ranae Shrider  last year. (Verne is suing TMZ for twenty million for showing the tape)

Then there was the love triangle between Verne, Jason “Wee Man” Acuna,(Jackass fame) with Dominique Arganese. I guess some gals love the tiny ones.

Of course there was also Verne’s previous marriage to former Playboy centerfold Genevieve Gallen back in 2004, which lasted all of an entire month. Verne and Genevieve met at a New Years party at Heff’s Playboy mansion in LA. 

Genevieve, Verne and Heff

Genevieve had quite a bit to say (way too much) about her crazy month with Verne. She talked about them getting their sexy on ten times a day and some “sessions” lasting for up to 45 mins a pop. (Sting still has him beat)  She also said they did role playing, and wore costumes. Thanks SO much for that vision Genevieve.

Ok well fine. Nothing earth shattering there, except for the number of times he was able to perform. Which would put most men to shame, and make most women run and hide.

Just because Verne is only 2′ 8″ tall, didn’t mean he couldn’t get his freak on with Genevieve who is 5″ 6″. But I know what all of you are thinking… how did they do it? And er…. does Verne tuck it in his sock? Right? Don’t lie!

Well thanks to Genevieve, she let everyone know by stating this about Verne’s package (or lack there of) and how their love making was achieved:

“We had to be creative – but because of my yoga experience I could get into the right positions to make it work.”

“But I was surprised when I saw him naked for the first time that night-I had expected him to be better endowed. Verne’s body is proportional all over, so he was smaller than I expected.”

“He was a sex addict. He was then only the second man I’d ever slept with. He told me he’d had huge numbers of girls.”

“I had even researched what condoms to use for a little man,”

“With Verne I started experimenting with my own pleasure in ways I had never done before,” says Genevieve.“

Ok ewww… TMI on the that last quote there.
So I guess Verne is quite the little horn dog.

But wow Genevieve, not to pull a dumb blonde stereotype on you… but you were actually surprised that Verne wasn’t more well endowed? Did you really think you would be getting a Milton Berle? (Uncle Miltie was hung like a horse) Or did you think Verne was built like a chinchilla? FYI….chinchillas have unusually enormous schlongs for such a tiny varmint.
I wonder if Verne calls his winky “Mini Me“? Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

And Genevieve claimed that Verne was only the second man she ever slept with? Apparently, Genevieve thinks everyone has just fallen off the turnip truck.

All that aside… Verne appears to be pretty hot with the ladies and there has been no shortage of blondes for him to frolic with. But Verne does seem to have a huge demon. That demon is alcohol.

Genevieve claims that he used to drink a litre of vodka and a 12-pack of Budweiser in a single day.

Yikes! That’s an awful lot of libation for someone shorter than a yardstick. That amount of liquor would do a number on anyone’s liver among other things, never mind his teeny tiny liver. It doesn’t sound physcially possible for Verne to ingest that much hootch. But I guess anything is possible. I just don’t put too much faith behind what Genevieve has said, even though I have seen evidence of Verne crawling into the bottle and being sloppy drunk on more than one occassion.

There are many vids here and there of Verne feeling no pain. Just take a look on Youtube and the internet. One shows him falling over drunk on the ground near his limo, and another of him ramming his scooter into a door. There are videos of drunken conversations with people and let’s not forget the previously mentioned “peeing episode” on Surreal Life.

Vern’s drinking must not only be reeking havoc with his body, but also with his relationships.

More from Genevieve:

“At the end of the day, I think he was more in love with alcohol than he was with me.”

“Soon after I met him he almost drank himself to death. I heard he was in hospital and when I got there he was lying in bed covered in vomit and diarrhoea,” says Genevieve.

“Then there was a time when I got home and found myself locked out. I tried to wake Verne by banging on the door but he’d drunk so much I couldn’t. The neighbours called the police and I convinced them to break the door open to let me in.

“When I found him, he was face down clutching a pillow. I tried to wake him but it was impossible, so I had to pick him up still clutching the pillow and take him outside to present him to the police officers.

“They were shining the light on his head and Verne was mumbling, ‘What’s going on?” One of the police officers started laughing but the other one told him to stop. It was really embarrassing.”

Yikes, Verne what are you doing to yourself?

And now, with this latest development with former gal pal Yvette Monet, Verne had better get his sh*t together.

Yvette Monet is an ex St. Paul beauty queen and model. Of course.
According to The Hollywood Gossip:

Gorgeous model Yvette Monet has requested and been granted a temporary restraining order granted against her unstable former boyfriend … Verne Troyer.

Monet says she used to date Troyer but that they broke up months ago. She states that she believes he owns a gun and that she currently fears for her life.

Yvette says Troyer constantly texts and emails her despite her many requests for him to stop, and that he has sent threats telling her to “watch herself.”

She says Troyer has told her that his friend Burt has a gun and will do anything he says and that he has a cop friend called Jose who also has guns.
Has Verne Troyer really been making threats against his former girlfriend, Yvette Monet? On an unrelated note, was Verne Troyer really dating Yvette Monet?

She requested that Troyer be asked to stay away from her, her workplace, her home and her vehicle. The restraining order will remain in effect until December 2.

A Minnesota native, Yvette is a former beauty queen hailing from St. Paul. She was a spokes model for Merle Norman Cosmetics and has also modeled for Miller Lite.

She has also appeared on eight different television shows.

The 2′8″ Troyer has appeared in the Austin Powers franchise and also appeared in The Surreal Life. He is perhaps as well known for the Verne Troyer sex tape featuring him giving it to another ex-girlfriend, Renae Shrider, last year.

Verne was also seen around London this past February with former UK Big Brother contestant, Chanelle Hayes according to Hollywood Gossip. But who knows if they were actually dating? Maybe she was she trying to land herself a role in the upcoming Austin Powers sequel? I guess we will have to wait and see if Channelle turns up as Fembot.

Chanelle Hayes

Is it my imagination? Or do all these gold diggers look alike?

Gee Verne. A few words of advice….
I think your “mini me” can use a rest. Lose the blondes for a while, and kick that bottle to the curb.

Concentrate on finding yourself, and find yourself some good rehab. (be sure it’s not Scientology or Narconon which are two in the same)

You need to focus on keeping your career on track, especially with the new Austin Powers sequel coming up. Nip all this mess in the bud before you are known as another “high risk” actor. (hello Lohan and the Hoff)

Hopefully you will meet someone who is right for you, and not some gold digging bimbo.They may look pretty on your arm, but what are their true intentions? Unless of course you just don’t care.

As much as digging into Verne’s personal life has really made me cringe, with his sex-capades and his drunken episodes caught on video, I still am rooting for Verne to turn himself around. I don’t know why.

Maybe it’s because I really enjoyed him as Mini Me, or the fact that he can fit in my suitcase. Or maybe it was that little mention of him being able to go ten times a day.

Does anyone have his number?  *SNICKER and EWWWW*

Hey! Now Put That Away Verne!

According to reports, and now video footage, famous homewrecker and child hoarder Angelina Jolie showed her true spirit at VH1’s Critic’s Choice Awards.

Apparently, Angelina, regressing to former bad girl behavior, was none too impressed she lost out to the younger and better actress Anne Hathaway for her performance in Rachel Getting Married, who shared her Best Actress award with her idol and legendary actress Meryl Streep. Glosslip reader Rachel first alerted us to the FoxNews report on Angie’s reaction to Anne’s win, and they weren’t holding anything back:

Anne Hathaway couldn’t hold back the rambling and tears as she received the dual honor of Best Actress (along with “Doubt” actress Meryl Streep) for her performance in “Rachel Getting Married” at Thursday night’s VH1 Critics Choice Awards. But one lady who looked less-than-impressed was fellow nominee Angelina Jolie.

As Hathaway gushed about how thrilling it was to win something with her “idol” Streep, the cameras caught Jolie (twice) with such a severe scowl it caused quite the gasp backstage.

Let’s put it this way: if looks could kill, Hathaway would definitely be dead.

“Angelina didn’t say much for the rest of the night,” an eyewitness told Tarts. “She was all smiles before the announcement, and it was clear she wasn’t happy.”

For a the world’s highest-paid actress, one would think Jolie would have found it an appropriate time to use her skills to hide those feelings of disappointment.

In Angie’s defense, Anne’s speech was REALLY LOOOOONG, and kind of annoying, but it was definitely earnest and sincere. There’s something very sweet and genuine about a well-known star being nervous, excited and taken aback about winning an award, so congrats to Anne.

Back to Angie, so the anointed one was making grumpy faces during Anne’s speech, and like we said, it could be from disappointment at losing to someone as affable and effervescent as Anne, or because Anne’s speech was kind of goofy, but either way, she looked like a straight up biznatch. Hardly a shock there. To add more fuel to the fire, apparently partner and baby-daddy Brad Pitt’s hands weren’t only used for clapping, and those close to their table were treated to some old school Angie action, with Pitt and Jolie making out, which included Brad slipping his hand up Angie’s dress. Classss-y!

So when you think about it, this is all a normal night for Ms. Jolie. Get nominated, lose, scowl at competition, gratuitous display of affection and some slut action to drive the point home. Congrats Anne, and welcome back to the real Angelina Jolie!

Leave it to that tall glass of steaming hotness Pierce Brosnan (simmer down k, I know he’s all yours) to slap the patron saint of home-wreckers Angelina Jolie in the face. Sadly, he only did so metaphorically, because Angie so deserves a real glove slap (a gentlemanly one of course, we don’t advocate physical abuse, usually.)

Anywho, in a recent interview with People Magazine, Brosnan had this to say (via I’mNotObsessed) about his potential co-stars in the latest Thomas Crown Affair film:

“Charlize Theron is someone who I’ve always admired. I think she’s someone who has acquitted herself grandly. Nothing against Angelina Jolie. I think she’s a magnificent actress. But Charlize has a poise about her and has an inner strength and femininity which I really like to watch.”

Ok, I know what you Brangeloonies are thinking, he didn’t really insult Jolie because he said she’s a magnificent actress. But trust us, he insulted her. His compliments to Charlize were a direct kidney-punch to Angelina, who DEFINITELY considers herself the epitome of poise, inner strength and femininity. So in a subtle, yet direct way, Pierce is letting us know he doesn’t want to be tempted by her penisflytrap woman parts. Especially with the latest vulgar revelations by Angie herself, that she and her whipped little puppy, Brad Pitt fell in love while shooting their film Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Of course, not only did Angie finally reveal to the world what we already knew, she proved what a relentless liar she is, after boldly proclaiming she’d NEVER, EVER be attracted to a married man after her father cheated on her mother while they were still married.

Whatever Angie! Not everyone is up for your shenanigans and false sainthood or temptress ways. I am sure you have more than your fair share of enemies in Hollywood. What’s that old adage, don’t poop where you eat? Yeah, that.

Wow.  You know it’s got to be bad when one of your own fan clubs turns on you.

Over at sienna-miller.org, a fan site devoted to the actress, it seems that the person running it has had enough of Sienna’s shenanigans and is jumping ship:

It must be obvious that my heart has not been in this site for the past couple of years. This is due to several reasons, the main ones being the loss of Katy and Maddie from the site staff, a lack of time, and how Sienna has changed. Regarding the change in Sienna, I know others at the forum feel the same, and while some may argue she has simply grown up and reacted to events in a normal way, I cannot get past the fact that to me she has completely changed from the Sienna I became a fan of back in 2004. I don’t say that lightly because (believe it or not) I do still have a lot of respect for Sienna and still consider myself a supportive fan.

I’ve tried to forget about that and update whenever I can (although yes, that has not been much!) … however, recent events – that of Sienna’s affair with a married father of 4 and extremely public PDA’s – have heightened my lack of interest in the site and Sienna. We do not know the whole story behind this affair, and some may argue it is not our place to judge BUT when Sienna can cavort so publicly and so shamelessly with this man who IS married and does have 4 children (including a baby only a few months old) with his wife, my respect for her goes out of the window. One minute she says she wants to be taken seriously as an actress and she’s sick of all the false stories about her in the press … and the next she’s topless on a beach with a married man’s hands all over her – come on Sienna, you know the paparazzi are going to be around. If she was serious about being taken seriously she would, well, not display herself so publicly like this.

I do have a huge amount of respect for Sienna’s career – I think she chooses fantastic roles and I am genuinely excited to see how her career is going to progress. However, unfortunately her career is always going to take a back seat to the tabloid rubbish, and no matter how hard we try to avoid the gossip we just can’t.

Therefore I am looking for someone to become a co-webmistress/master here at Sienna Online. You will be responsible for keeping not only the gallery, but also the news and all other content up-to-date. You need to have excellent sources, be willing to buy magazines to scan etc., have a similar ‘work ethic’ to me (ie must like original content etc!) and have time to update regularly/at least a few times each week. You must be able to keep up with everything in Sienna-world. To apply just send me an email. I’m aware I have asked for this a few times before and never actually got back to anyone – that is because no-one has fully fitted the bill.

If I do not find someone suitable soon, then I’m sad to say that Sienna Online will be closing. I am reluctant to close because of the work that has gone into this site over the years, the fact that we have been here since Sienna’s career first took off, and because we are the only website with complete, in depth content. However, I’m at a point now where I would close the site if I can’t find someone to run it properly, like it deserves.

Wow.  Sienna has fans?  I thought they would have all bailed by this point.

To get you up to speed, Sienna was caught cavorting on the beaches of Italy with Balthazar Getty, very married actor and father of four shortly after dumping boyfriend Rhys Ifans.  To some, this was a case of life imitating life, as one of the reasons she and Jude Law separated was because of his affair with his kids’ nanny.  Her “friendly” ways may have contributed as well.  She’s also been romantically linked to various other men/co-stars.  She’s just real friendly!

So anyway, the position as Sienna’s fan is open.  I’d go apply for it myself, but…I don’t like Sienna Miller.  I think that kind of disqualifies me.  So, I am passing along this golden opportunity to you.  Here’s a dream job just chock-full of opportunity for advancement…that is, if you’re married.  And kind of cute.  And male.  Well, perhaps not necessarily.

(btw, the post on the Sienna Miller fan site was made August 6, and it is now September 30.  Seems the position is still open.  Ain’t sayin’, just sayin’.)

Joss Stone is not top on my list of musicians. She seems quite contrived, she tries too hard, she’s not Janis Joplin and last, but not least, she apparently uses her feminine wiles in exchange for hit songs. So right off the bat, she gets a thumbs down and a wet raspberry from me. So it was with great sadness I heard that hotass mo, rapper Nelly is dating this “alleged” musical depository.

See Nelly and I have a special relationship. He writes hip-hop/rap music that a rhythm-less white person like myself can enjoy and appreciate, he takes his shirt off for gratuitous shots of his most sexy bod and in general, he seems like a really nice sort of guy. Nelly’s sister, Jackie died of leukemia in 2005, despite Nelly’s greatest efforts to find bone marrow donors to save her life through a foundation he set up, “Jes Us For Jackie“. Nelly and sister were close and her death hit him really hard.

Perhaps in his extended grief, he has lost his mind, because according to HolyMoly (via Dlisted), Nelly has been dating Joss Stone.

Here’s more from HolyMoly!:

Soul singer Joss, affectionally known to some as, ‘will f*ck for tracks’ Stone, is reportedly dating rapper Nelly. Joss, who was recently rumoured to have offered more than just her voice to producer Mark Ronson, (which he later denied) has apparently been on a number of dates with the man responsible for ‘Hot in Herre.’

Joss had previously joked (although she doesn’t look like she has much of a sense of humour) that she may become a lesbian because of the trouble she was having finding a man. But surely a woman would find her just as annoying.

Joss had said:

“Every girl my age wants to be in a relationship. I haven’t had one in two years. I think I’ll have to turn lesbian.”

But that was before Nelly came along, the lucky sod. A source said:

“Joss and Nelly have been out on a few dates together. It’s early days but we haven’t seen Joss this happy in quite a long time. It’s great she has met someone as successful as she is and who understands the pressures being a performer can put on your life.”

And also the pressure of not being as successful as you once were.

The source continued:

“And it helps that he is hot too – he is just her type.”

Well, he is in the music industry after all…

Look, anyone with the skillz to make her not look like a grasping for straws attention-ho she is, is her type. If she wants to bump nasties with Mark Ronson, Justin Timberlake and Tiny Tim, hey it’s all good, but back away from the Nelly little Miss Skanky-pants, I called dibs. And here’s a little something to savor, including some Tim McGraw for k

Sidenote: I wonder if Mark Ronson was referring to another soul singer named AMY WINEHOUSE. Although I would think he would have said “twitchy, crack-weaved cracksinger” instead of “boring, bland soul chick”. Those two did have a bit of a falling out over the Bond theme song a while back. And Amy’s known for falling down on penises other than her Blaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkeeeeeeee!

Jessica Seinfeld has a new book out. Who’s Jessica Seinfeld? Jerry’s wife of course!

For those who don’t remember, Jessica was married for approximately one month to her first husband, Eric Nederlander, a Broadway producer. Then within about three weeks of returning from her honeymoon in Italy with Eric she began seeing Jerry Seinfeld. Nederlander’s family, like Jerry Seinfeld, is has a lot of money, sadly for Eric, just not ENOUGH money for Jessica, who must have been embarrassed by how little money, as she traded up for a much higher level of wealth by marry Jerry Seinfeld.

Jessica and Jerry met while both were members at a hoity-toity health club facility called Reebok Sports Club in New York. She and her husband called it quits not long after Jessica and Jerry met. J and J were married in November of 1999. Jessica was married to her first husband in 1998. What a lucky mother Jessica has to have the good fortune of planning two gala nuptials within almost a year of each other! Oy gevalt!

Yes, all that historical sluttiness aside, we fast forward to now and Jessica is whoring her book Deceptively Delicious to the masses. The premise is about a mom’s futile attempts to get her family to eat healthy, so she decides to start lacing their food with so-called vitamin packed wholesome goodness. I prefer rat poisoning, but whatever works for you.

Of course Oprah, suck up to the stars, had Jessica on her show to further illustrate how the rich and powerful help the rich and powerful stay that way. Predictably, Jessica’s book became a hit. All was good for the Seinfelds until a woman named Missy Chase Lapine, who’d written a book called The Sneaky Chef complained of plagerism.

Jessica’s been defending herself all about town these days, and recently did so on “The View,” showing us the classic body language of a liar. You can watch the video here. Jessica deflects accusations of plagiarism by being passive aggressive:

“I can understand why she would be upset. You know, first of all when you have a huge success, you know this, people tend to look for the cracks, anything that would break you down a little bit. There’s always negative where there’s positive. This was such an immediate success, this book, that I think people were looking for things to pick a part, but I can understand why she would’ve been frustrated.”

Then as a final nail in her guilty-conscience coffin, she goes on the offensive (and I mean offensive), by basically saying she’s so rich she didn’t need to do the book and so therefore she couldn’t have stolen this woman’s idea (not to mention several almost identical recipes):

“She did a book with a similar topic a few months earlier and it must have been hard for her to see how quickly my book took off. I never saw her book or her recipes. Never as a person would I do something like what I was accused of doing. I mean, I really didn’t need to do this book”

To make matters even more obnoxious, Jerry’s going around calling this woman a whacko and making fun of her. Classy Jerry, really classy. I was never a huge Seinfeld fan, but his growing arrogance and contemptible behavior are really starting to wear thin.

Do us a favor Seinfelds, go hide out in your ostentatious Hampton home nursing your guilty heart on the wine of your fermented tears. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! Thanks D-Listed!

Lindsay, bless her little sober-living heart, can still work the “hooker chic” like nobody’s business. She is wearing those boots like a ten-cent whore and she looks AWESOME. And by awesome I mean, rested, totally sober, still deeply insecure and desperately seeking the approval of men. Which may explain why she chose to hook-up with drug addict snowboarder Riley Van Giles, who just so happened to have a fiancee.

Well, at least that’s what a woman named Breanna Tierney is telling the National Enquirer.

The 21-year-old star — who checked into the Cirque Lodge facility in late July after being arrested for DUI and cocaine possession — began a steamy affair with fellow patient Riley, charges Breanna.

“Riley went into rehab to get his life together and in the process meets Lindsay and ruins my life…”I loved Riley and Lindsay stole him. I met her at a meeting while they were still patients at Cirque, and I just knew something was up.

“She came into the meeting with Riley, and she comes over and sits next to me, being overly nice. She was complimenting me on my hair and trying to be my friend. It didn’t seem sincere at all.

“A few days later, I get a text message from Riley telling me he wanted to ‘take a break.’ I knew instantly it was because of Lindsay.”

Breanna, 22, goes on to say she had been there for Riley as he struggled with addiction as well as a string of arrests for various felonies including; possession of a controlled substance by misrepresentation, fraud, DUI, and prescription forgery. Bree also states that Riley proposed to her three years ago, but unfortunately it didn’t count because he gave her a cheap-ass cubic zirconium engagement ring. From her harrowing tale:

“I’ve stuck by Riley through the good and the bad. We lived together for three years and planned on being together forever. But when he finally confessed to me that he had sex with Lindsay in one of the stairwells at Cirque — that was it, we were done.

Lindsay has no morals and needs some serious help — besides drug rehab — for all her other problems.”

Besides his drinking and drugging, Breanna had overlooked other signs that her “Mr. Right” was “Mr. Wrong.” She was stunned to discover Riley had given her a fake diamond engagement ring. “I went to get it repaired because some of the diamonds fell out,” she recalled. “I wanted to scream when the jeweler told me the stones were cheap cubic zirconias.”

Breanna with Riley, the fake engagement ring giver

If you ask me, Breanna should send Lindsay a “thank you” note and wash her hands of the matter and move on. Any POC guy who gives you a fake diamond ring is NOT worth fighting over and should be kicked to curb unceremoniously.

And honestly do you really want some guy whose been with Lilo? That’s damaged goods, that is.

I’m not even going to bother writing a post for this.  The clip speaks for itself.

Now, if you don’t mind, after watching this I have an appointment to get a shot.  I don’t know what kind, but it is the sort that should remove any sort of infectious disease I may have contracted from watching this clip.  And I also need a shower.  An hour-long, steaming hot shower, and I’m going to scrub with steel wool and Barkeeper’s Friend until my skin bleeds.  And then I’m going to rub antibacterial gel all over myself.  Yes, friends, after watching this I do feel just that dirty.

If I have any energy left, I may gouge out my eyes, because I never want to see this again.

You’ve been warned.

People magazine is reporting that director Robert Rogriguez is engaged to his girlfriend Rose McGowan. The two met on the set of his joint film with fellow director Quentin Tarantino, Grindhouse/Planet Terror. Romance blossomed between the two on the set…right under the nose of his partner/wife of 15 years Elizabeth Avellan, who is also the mother of his five children.

Isn’t that the sweetest, most romantic thing you have ever heard? No, well you aren’t alone.

From the People article:

He’s my best friend,” McGowan told PEOPLE last June. “We instantly became really good friends.”

Engagement rumors swirled for months as the couple attended Hollywood events, and recently McGowan has been sporting a large diamond ring on her wedding finger.

McGowan previously was engaged to rocker Marilyn Manson. Rodriguez is divorced from producer Elizabeth Avellan, with whom he has five children.

So Rose, who is has taken some hits in the media for having gone overboard on some plastic surgery (she’s only 33) which she claims was due in part to a car accident, rather than a self-esteem issue, swooped in an got herself a man. A man who already had a wife and five kids. There’s a name for that…is it stealthy? Close, but not quite. Sneaky, maybe? Closer, but still not right. Homewrecking slut from hell? Ding..ding..ding. We have our answer.

Nothing bothers me more than when a woman inserts herself into a marriage, rips parents from their children by using her lack of morals to seduce a married man. Sort of like what Angelina Jolie did, but without the children.

It’s also reported that Rose will be starring Rodriguez’s remake of the classic film Barbarella, made famous by Jane Fonda oh so many years ago. Sleeping with the director does have its benefits.

I read an interview with Elizabeth Avellan in the NYT. She is a class act. Despite the opportunity to slam McGowan and her ex, she took the high road and uttered nary an untoward word about either. Elizabeth talked about how they had built a small community in Austin, TX by taking their production company, Troublemaker Studios, away from expense and drama of Hollywood, and continually hiring the same crew for each of the movies she and Robert worked on together over the last 18 years. Movies that include Sin City, the Spy Kids series, Desperado and the recent Grindhouse collaboration with Tarantino.

Here she talks about her life and career after her split with Rodriguez:

If it’s a challenge to continue on with business as usual at Troublemaker now that she is no longer married to Mr. Rodriguez, Ms. Avellan isn’t showing it. While some in the Austin film world and inside Troublemaker wonder what will happen next — “There’s an enormous amount of concern,” said Louis Black, editor of The Austin Chronicle and founder of the South by Southwest Music, Film and Interactive Festival, “because these are two people that a lot of people care about” — Ms. Avellan said she never questioned whether or not to stay with Troublemaker. It’s a decision that might seem counterintuitive, given the collapse of the marriage. But considering the stakes as equal partner of a moneymaking company with grand plans — Ms. Avellan said she also hoped to expand the studio’s sound and digital facilities and bring in more commercial production — it’s an experiment she’s willing to try.

“Robert and I have been such good partners for 18 years,” she said. “So many things haven’t changed in general, just in how we handle our personal life with our children. The only thing we’re not is married anymore.”

“He can make his movies here,” she added, “just like I can make my movies here. It’ll be good for Austin: if I bring a movie in, and Robert does a movie too, this place will be much more used. People can say, ‘Oh, it’ll never work.’ And I’m like, ‘You know what? It’ll work.’ I’m excited at the prospect of showing them — of showing the world what I do.”

I suppose Elizabeth can take some solace in the fact that Robert and Rose are at least serious about each other and not some kind of brief tryst that broke up a good partnership. Although I am sure a Rose McGowan voodoo doll would work just as well.

 

You may be wondering who that Amazonian woman in the above picture is, and why she’s gracing the hallowed halls of this fine literary establishment?  That my friends is none other than Coco (Nicole Austin) the current wife of rapper/actor Ice T.

Seriously, I can not look at pictures of this woman and not be thoroughly confused.  Jesus H, what the hell is going on behind this woman’s back? How can you have so much junk in your trunk and not an ounce of cellulite?  Ice T must rub some sort of cream made from the blood of newborns to keep his wife’s ass in that kind of shape. 

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.  Although rumors of Coco starring on TV this Fall will make the decision a little easier.

For reals, that is some kind of rumpshaker!!  Here’s another look at a pimp and his main ho!
But wait, there’s more…
