Live Q&As

I'm only mildly tired. Based on the interest in her on the Internet, the rest of the world is not tired at all.

It is indeed sad. I have not heard or read anything about a third party, but I also can't say I have delved that deeply into it.

Sarah Hughes, who wrote the Rhys-Meyers post, updated it to say that this may have been a drug-related relapse, not necessarily an outright suicide attempt.

Whatever it was, I also hope he gets help and that it works this time.

Re: Lohan -- even if she wasn't drinking at said club, it's not a smart move to go straight there after house arrest ends. Especially if she wants to make it clear she's putting career first and showing good judgment.

I believe the only way to handle this situation is to watch that interview where he speaks in French over and over again until you're able to move on.

It's like immersion therapy.

You could also watch me making a donkey of myself while playing movie trivia with him. This may not make you stop thinking about him, but it will at least make you think less of me.

You are attempting to apply logic and reason to a "Transformers" movie, which should never be done under any circumstances.

And I love that Rosie Whiteley-Huntington joke. Perhaps she is somehow related.

Speaking of which, can you imagine what Michael Bay could do with a remake of Spinal Tap? The Stonehenge number would no longer be funny, but it would be totally EPIC, man!

I believe that's the proper pronunciation.

No name released yet. Seems she's trying to maintain privacy for the child as long as she can, which is completely understandable but frustrating to all those who simply must know the name!

I haven't shared a puppy pic because I don't have any at work. BUT -- I did track down this photo of my dog, which accompanied a story I wrote about traveling with him. Note: He is far cuter than this picture conveys.

I'll try to dig up bnetter pics for next week's chat. I realize I have been slacking in this area.

This is an interesting question. I don't know if Richards is unsuitable or not. Sheen might be at this point.

In any event, it is interesting that regular, upstanding people often have trouble adopting, while celebs sometimes -- seemingly -- do so with ease. Obviously context is key here. Some people have very specific expectations for adopted children (they want a child of a certain sex, etc.) and that tends to drag things on longer.

Doesn't sounds like that's true in your friends' case, though.

I honestly had not seen much of Hiddleston either, until "Thor." (I still desperately need to see "Midnight in Paris.") I know he was in the mini-series "Cranford," so maybe you can dig that up on Netflix?

Also, have you seen the trailer for "War Horse"? It looks absolutely gorgeous. That movie is already pre-emptively jerking tears from my eyes based on the preview alone.

And re: your crush question -- of course, you can have multiple celeb crushes. If you're going to harbor feelings for people you don't know, why limit yourself?

He's so not distinguished, though. He's a tiny half-beagle who licks the faces of me, my husband and my son with no sense of shame.

My son informed me last night that "Casey drives me crazy!" because of this very reason. He's too young to understand the sublime beauty of canine faithfulness.

Well, of course. The well-connected always seem to get what they want in this world, don't they?

I am not sure she endangered his safety. Even if she hadn't done that, there are images of him out there anyway.

That being said, Bristol Palin doesn't seem terribly concerned about maintaining privacy, given the book, the reality show, etc.

Look, I am trying to cover my bases, okay? I can't just go around accusing people of being deadbeat parents.

I also found the Newsweek cover kind of creepy. And while it was effectively provocative and got people talking (which helps get attention for Newsweek), I am the doctored image of her at 50 or the article add anything to the conversation about Diana.

I will admit that I am interested in that documentary about her death -- not to see the images of the crash, but to hear people explain their theories about what happened.

Well, here's the list of 10 I came up with. You tell me who the winner is. (I might be the only person who loves the Amy Sedaris idea.)

Another excellent point.

This question refer to "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2," for those who aren't into abbreviations.

And yes, I am looking forward to seeing it.

This is a terribly intriguing question.

I think I might put my money on Fox.

Speaking of Jello wrestling, is my high school the only one that ever hosted a Jello wrestling competition? I kind of regret not participating now, for the same reason I regret not traveling abroad in college: it would have made me a better person.

I was going to go see it the other night, and then I decided I wasn't feeling up to it.

Based on early reviews and buzz, the best adjective for the movie seems to be "pleasant."

Exactly right. If you make your living catching people doing bad things on video, make sure you're never doing anything bad that could potentially be caught on video.

And that's one to grow on.

I got a kick out of Gene's column.

I agree with his contention that you can't try to create a brand before and above doing good work. But I also think it's naive to not be aware of how you're perceived and conscious of what your "brand" is.

The bottom line is if you want to be known for being a smart journalist or columnist or writer, you should probably try to be one. That's the best way to build that "brand."

See, this is what I get for sharing dog photos...

I wonder what made you confuse the two. They don't look much alike, and their acting styles are pretty different, too.

I find Shia kind of interesting, I have to admit it. He does a quality onscreen tirade. He's also really good at throwing coffee at paparazzi.

No, as I said in my post, what he allegedly did is not even in the same ballpark.

It's the captured on video thing that people find amusing, the irony, as you say.

Why don't I let Michael J. Fox field this one?

I think Gosling has been pretty "it" for a while now.

The new "it" girl, however, is probably Emma Stone. Who is starring opposite him in "Crazy, Stupid, Love." So that's convenient -- two its for the price of one. Or something.

I haven't read the book or seen the play. I will probably go in spoiler-free purely because of time constraints. I can only read so many books before seeing the movie.

I suspect that's why some people are schadenfreude-ing all over that story as well.

No, that's another I'd like to see. So behind on movies!

Did they date very briefly years ago? Maybe they could rekindle that.

Or maybe they can both remain happily single. Seems like a waste of attractiveness, but hey -- they gotta do what they gotta do.

That does seem a bit extreme, if true. I agree.

Ha. Thanks.

I do my best.

I am planning to take my son, actually. This will be his first movie in a theater, assuming he makes it all the way through.

I'm glad you come for me and Carolyn, but I am sorry you are having trouble navigating.

I try to post links to the chat, not to mention many blog posts, on the Celebritology Facebook page. If all else fails, you always have that. Hopefully we can fix that, though.

Hey, I know the feeling re: being caught with my grammatical pants down.

Everyonce in a while, me make a mistake. I mean, I. No, me. No, wait, I ... oh, crud!

It's my understanding that Ms. Kelly will be hosting them for an afternoon. She'll be treating them to veggie burgers and a matinee at the Arclight.

I love validating others. Glad to be of service!

I like it. Maybe we can break it down a bit so I can make a list and throw it to you all: first movie seen, first movie in a theater, first R-rated movie, etc.

She is a national treasure.

Yes. Very distant cousins, but cousins nonetheless.

Hey, if you research your geneology on Ancestry.com, maybe you'll discover you're related to someone famous. Perhaps Bradley Cooper, which might be one way to cool any romantic feelings toward him, previous commenter.

And with that, I must depart. Talk to you all next week at this time.
