Ann Coulter: Princess Diana Was “Anorexic, Bulimic Narcissist” [VIDEO]



(The Insider)

Not everyone, it seems, is as fascinated as Newsweek by Princess Diana on the occasion of what would have been her 50th birthday.

“I find it a little baffling when Americans get so gaga-eyed over a princess, and particularly Lady Di, who was just this anorexic, bulimic narcissist,” says commentator Ann Coulter in an interview with “The Insider.”

Wow.

We think it’s pretty safe to say Coulter will not be meeting up with William and Kate on their swing through the United States next week.

Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig Secretly Tie the Knot

“ The Mummy” chaser Rachel Weisz seems to have found her lost treasure in 43 year old Daniel Craig.

The couple secretly tied the knot in a hush hush ceremony which only had four people in attendance. Apart from Craig’s 18 year old daughter, Ella , Weisz also had her 4 yr old son Henry standing by. There were only two other friends who shared this blissful day in NewYork with the couple.

After a nine year relationship with “ Black Swan “ director Darren Aronofsky, the actors have finally broken their silence on their years of platonic friendship. Craig was also in a previous relationship and engaged to Satsuki Mitchell for five years.   Reports started buzzing in November 2010 when they there were first linked, as a result of their upcoming horror movie “ The Dream House”.

Craig and Weisz were also last spotted shopping at a Louis Vuitton store in London last March.

Both Weisz and Craig are currently doing a movie where they play husband in wife in “The Dream House”. True enough, this made things much more convenient for them to be linked in real time.

In case you’re having a hard time pinning a face to Daniel Craig, the actor is best known in his portrayal of the amorous dashing debonair, James Bond. Craig is up for the 23rd movie series of James Bond entitled “ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”. Although the sequel has been delayed due to some financial issues, progress on the film still hasn’t pegged a release date.

On the other hand, you can mark down horror movie popcorn dates for “The Dream House” in September.

Tobey Maguire Denies Playing in Illegal Poker Games



(GettyImages)

Tobey Maguire has just filed legal papers, claiming he did NOT play in illegal high-stakes poker games.

As you’ll recall, last week the Spider-Man star was named in a lawsuit against a hedge fund manager named Bradley Ruderman, who’s currently in prison for defrauding investors out of more than $50 million in a Ponzi scheme.

Basically, creditors of Ruderman’s now bankrupt company sought to have Maguire pony up the more than $300,000 he took in winnings from the hedge funder in what were termed “illegal” poker games.

But in Maguire’s court filing today, he says the games were not “illegal.” The games were just pals playing poker — and there was NO “house” taking a cut.

Gossip Cop also hears that though Ruderman’s creditors claim Maguire made more than $300,000 off the hedge funder, in actuality the actor wrote checks in losses to him to the tune of around $168,000.

And, an important point to be made, we’re told Maguire denies he tried, in any way, to defraud anyone — and he always paid taxes on his winnings.

Maguire further asked that the suit against him be dismissed.

CLAIM: Taylor Lautner Married to Lily Collins



(HollywoodLife)

Taylor Lautner Married to Lily Collins – He’s Wearing a Gold Band in New Photo!” screams a giddy headline from HollywoodLife.

The silly site says Lautner is wearing a “gold band on his left ring finger” in a new promo pic for his upcoming “Funny or Die” video, prompting the ridiculous question, “Could he be married to Lily Collins?”

Really, HollywoodLife?

Now, we’re used to the blog making up stories out of thin air, but this one is just too absurd.

The site even notes that Lautner is wearing the ring for the “Funny or Die” skit, so why on earth would they assume it’s anything more than a prop?

Regardless, a source close to Lautner assures Gossip Cop the couple has NOT tied the knot, and calls HollywoodLife’s story “not true.”

We’re told Lautner’s sporting a wedding band because he’s playing a character who’s married in the skit.

Once again, the joke’s on HollywoodLife.
