Dustin Hoffman Says Marriage Is “Unnatural” And Prefers Arranged Unions

Dustin Hoffman has been married to his second wife for thirty years, which by Hollywood standards is an eternity…so, you would think he is a romantic of sorts.

Think again! 
Per Huffington Post, this is what Dustin said on the New York press junket, while promoting his new movie, Little Fockers:

“There is nothing more unnatural than family or marriage. That’s why they’re both so difficult. You just wake up and suddenly clunk, you’re ready. ‘Okay, I guess that’s it.'”

So, what does Hoffman propose we all do? He says we should not even bother picking out a mate and let others do the task for us. 

Hoffman urged: “Arranged marriages I think make a lot of sense because you’re not under the pressure of being in love. It’s an easy contract. You don’t have to like each other and then whatever happens, happens.”

As if that weren’t bad enough, Hoffman continued: “There’s nothing wrong with courting or romance, it just shouldn’t have to go into a contractual phase, which is marriage.”
Say what Tootsie?!

His younger Little Fockers co-star Owen Wilson stood up for romance by saying: “It does seem to take some of the romance out of courting though.”

I adore Ryan Seacrest and I don’t care who knows it! In addition to being one of the most talented hosts on TV and radio, Ryan has always struck me as a down to earth, guy-next-door type. And he just proved me right by Tweeting these pics from his family Christmas get together earlier today.

It’s nice to see the busiest guy in show biz take time for the important things in life!

“My dad and I earlier this morn..do u like our uniforms?”

“Just started to do the xmas meal…nana is sipping the vino! How’s urs?”
“Sis nan and i prepping caesar salad- homemade croutons 4 fondue dinner”
“in atl, my sis and I doing some final wrapping. Pass the tape!”

A lot can change in a year – Just ask the latest star of The Bachelorette, Ali Fedotowsky.

The reality star darling was at first one of 25 women vying for Jake Pavelka‘s heart on The Bachelor. 


On that show, Ali made the shocking decision to leave early and rejoin her job at Facebook even though she was one of only four women left still fighting for Jake. 
About her decision to leave The Bachelor mid-competition, she told People: “A year ago I had just gotten home from filming The Bachelor. I was like, ‘I don’t have love. This sucks.’ ” 
A few months later, Fedotowsky decided to give finding love another try and went on to star on The Bachelorette, where she met, fell in love and got engaged to Roberto Martinez, the man with whom she now lives. 
“Last year I was filling a void with [buying expensive] boots, and this year I have Roberto,” says Fedotowsky. Martinez feels the same. He told People: “Last year I was single, missing that piece in my life.  Now I have it. I’m appreciative of that.”

MTV says it plans to put Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi inside a ball that drops in New York’s Times Square to ring in 2011 as part of its “MTV New Year’s Bash” special.

What does Snooki have to say about that? “I’m gonna be like a friggin’ hamster,” she said. “It’s the first time they’ve done it. I’m not sure how it’s going to work, but I think it’ll be fine. And if not, someone is going to be in big trouble!”
Can’t wait; 10, 9, 8, 7…..
Happy Holidays everyone!

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

Snoop Dogg is the latest celeb to show off his holiday spirit! He is found on YouTube reciting a souped-up Christmas classic.

Well, it’s really not your traditional story-telling time. It’s just a glorified Pepsi commercial. But, in classic Snoop style, it’s pretty snoop-a-licious.

Watch for yourself!

Stephen Baldwin Sues Kevin Costner

Stephen Baldwin v. Kevin Costner. I didn’t see this fight coming, but, it’s on!

Baldwin has just filed a lawsuit against Costner, accusing him of duping him out of a multi-million dollar investment.

Apparently, Costner owns Ocean Therapy, a company which has invented machinery to separate oil from water. Think back to the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and then you will realize we are talking about a big boatload of dollars at stake here!

According to the lawsuit which was filed in a Louisiana federal court, Costner let Baldwin in on a 10% share of his company. But problems arose when, per Baldwin, Costner bought back Baldwin’s shares after allegedly lying to him about his eventual plans to sell the machinery to BP and making millions from the sale.

And not just two or three million dollars. As it turns out, Costner later sold 32 machines to the oil corporation, at a total estimated value of $52 million.

I guess Costner is accused of getting away with all the green while trying to go green for the environment. This should be an interesting case to watch unfold.

Two Thumbs Down On The Shaved Zac Efron

Zac Efron Tweeted the above photo of himself from the set of The Lucky One, a Nicholas Sparks film Efron will appear in.

Efron plays a Marine who just returned from a  third tour of duty in Iraq, hence, the shaved head.

Do you like the new look? I can’t say that I do.

BUT, Efron did a very cool thing! He told the cast and crew of the movie that for each person who would get a similar haircut, he would donate money to the Kingsley House, a New Orleans-based charity (where the movie is being shot) which aids  local children and families. About 30 volunteers stepped up to the task.

Now, that is cute.
