Marilyn Monroe’s Hollywood Walk Of Fame Star Might Be Moved
Courtney Stodden’s SeXXXy Tribute To Marilyn Monroe
I know just what you need this afternoon: Courtney Stodden in soft focus, sexily reading on the couch, sexily applying lipstick, and sexily stroking flowers down her arm, all done up like Marilyn Monroe. Of course, Court put her super-sexy-sensual twist on her Marilyn Monroe tribute. That twist being six-inch stripper heels. Watch your back, Michelle Williams. [YouTube]
Revealed: Why Marilyn Monroe Posed Nude
A new memoir reveals that it was simple jealousy of Elizabeth Taylor that spurred Marilyn Monroe to pose nude. Monroe agreed to be naked while exiting a swimming pool during a photo shoot, as long as Taylor did not appear in any magazines running the images, reports Vanity Fair, which is publishing the images in this month’s edition. (While Monroe made just $100,000 for her final film role in “Something’s Gotta Give,” Taylor pulled down $1 million in “Cleopatra.”) But the nude pictures weren’t the only place Monroe bared all. A smattering of her conversations with photographer Lawrence Schiller, as per his memoir Marilyn & Me … Read more!
MAC x Marilyn Monroe, Coming Next Fall
10 Actresses Who've Played Marilyn Monroe
Many actresses have tackled the role of Marilyn Monroe. 3 Photos »
I don’t know which surprises me more: the fact that MAC has chosen to release a Marilyn Monroe collection, or the fact that they haven’t already done it. God bless Marilyn, because her posthumous existence has been practically slaughtered by a never-ending parade of wannabes. That’s not to say that I don’t like the idea of Monroe-inspired makeup, because I do, but her name and likeness is trampled upon on a pretty much daily basis and it’s getting tired. The worst perpetrators are celebrities — particularly one Lindsay Lohan — who just won’t let the poor girl rest, and show no signs of ever doing so. Keep reading »
Can We Give Up The Marilyn Monroe Impersonations Now, Please?
Hollywood is filled with blondes — both bottled and born — doing their best Marilyn Monroe imitations. Courtney Stodden, teen bride, was just the latest in a long, sordid trail of celebs to break out the pin curls and red lipstick when she did a photo shoot as the star in Hollywood this week. I’m pretty sure Norma Jean is rolling over in her grave. Seriously: stick a fork in this look ’cause it’s done.
We See Chick Flicks: “My Week With Marilyn”
Starring Michelle Williams, Eddie Redmayne, Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench and Emma Watson
You might think “My Week With Marilyn” would be a lighthearted film about one of the most famous women in the modern history of the world. After all, it’s about a romance between Monroe and a set gopher while she filmed “The Prince and the Showgirl,” a comedy. But I walked out of the theater with just the opposite — a heavy heart. (And the steadfast belief that Michelle Williams, who plays Marilyn Monroe, should be nominated for an Oscar.) Keep reading »

Courtney Stodden: The Reincarnation Of Marilyn Monroe (Gag)
I don’t know which is more frightening: the fact that Courtney Stodden thinks she’s the next Marilyn Monroe or, um, everything about this photo. [Twitter]
First Look: Michelle Williams In “My Week With Marilyn”
The trailer for “My Week With Marilyn” has finally arrived! Michelle Williams stars as Marilyn Monroe and the film focuses on the actress’s first trip to Europe to film a movie with Sir Lawrence Olivier, during which she had a brief affair with a production assistant named Colin Clark. Clark wrote about their interlude in a tell-all book on which the film is based. By the looks of the trailer, it sure seems like Williams — who, admittedly, I think is divine – has seriously channeled the bombshell’s mix of vivaciousness and depression. Will it get her a third Oscar nod? It’s too soon to tell — the film opens at the New York Film Festival and is in theaters on November 4. Will you be seeing it?
