Star Shrinking: Lindsay Lohan Can Only Play Real People

Poor Lindsay Lohan just can’t seem to catch a break. Though she’s out of rehab and isn’t going to do time for her alleged necklace-stealing, she hasn’t yet landed a film role. Although there have been a ton of casting rumors, nothing has panned out for our erstwhile LiLo. However, there is one interesting connection between all the roles she has been attached to. It seems that the only parts she’s getting offered are playing real people. More »

Star Shrinking: A Trip To Israel Can’t Fix Jesse James’ Pro-Nazi Problems

Star Shrinking: A Trip To Israel Can't Fix Jesse James' Pro-Nazi Problems

Jesse James, the tattoo loving, cheating former husband of Sandra Bullock just can’t get a break. First, he totally got caught sleeping with a tattooed stripper, and then he got caught cheating with more ladies. Oh, then photos surfaced of him in a Nazi hat in the Spring. And just yesterday, he got caught in a photo with another dude wearing a hat with a jaunty Hitler salute. Man, it’s such a bummer when C-list celebrities’ own stupidity keeps haunting them!

Now the History Channel will soon be airing an episode of Jesse James Blacksmith where he travels to Israel to learn the “world’s greatest blacksmith,” who also happens to be Jewish. This is either really bad – or really good timing.

According to Jesse James’ friends, he just really into “History.” But Dr. Gilda, our favorite celebrity relationship expert, isn’t buying it. She says those photos of Jesse with Nazi memorabilia can “tell us a lot about who this man is.” And what they tell us is not good. More »

Star Shrinking: Christina’s Aguilera’s Rebound Relationship

Star Shrinking: Christina's Aguilera's Rebound Relationship

Pop star Christina Aguilera has been making a lot of headlines lately. She’s got a new movie out: Burlesque. But mostly, she’s been getting a lot of attention because that’s where she met her new boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, a production assistant from the movie.

Xtina debuted the new relationship shortly after announcing the end of her five year marriage to producer Jordan Bratman. And the whole thing has got tongues wagging because of suspicions that Rutler is using the pop star for her fame. (There’s also that pesky rumor that she’s pregnant.) We decided to take the matter to our favorite celebrity therapist, Dr. Gilda Carle. And Dr. Gilda tells us, we shouldn’t get used to seeing Matthew Rutler around. More »

Star Shrinking: Celebrities Need To Practice Safe Marriage

Star Shrinking: Celebrities Need To Practice Safe Marriage

This week has seen a staggering number of engagements and divorces. Maybe it’s just because we have Prince William and Kate Middleton fever, but there’s also Jessica Simpson, Nick Lachey and their mates making it official. And on the other side of things, Eva Longoria and Avril Lavigne added their names to the list of celebrities ending their nuptials this week. Through it all, there is the pesky issue of the celebrity prenuptial agreement. Clearly, Prince William and Kate have long planned the international affair that is a royal engagement. But others are not so forward thinking.

And Dr. Gilda, our favorite celebrity relationship expert, has some strong opinions on the matter. Namely, that everyone needs a prenup:

“It’s a business protective device. You protect yourself – it’s like having safe sex. A prenup is planning for a safe marriage.”

Star Shrinking: Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift K-I-S-S-I-N-G

New rumored celebrity couple Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift have been mentioned all over the place lately. Considering he’s about a decade older than her, it appears their tabloid romance has been moving pretty slowly. This week, it came out that Jake didn’t bring Taylor to the premiere of his new movie Love And Other Drugs because he wasn’t ready for her to see him naked.

If you’re supposedly dating someone who you think is too young to see your R rated movie, maybe she’s too young to be dating at all? Just a thought we’ve been having. So we decided to bring this question and others to our favorite psychotherapist – Dr. Gilda Carle. More »

Billy Ray Cyrus and his wife Tish have been in the news quite a bit since filing for divorce.

Star Shrinking: Taylor Momsen Needs To Take A Step Back

Star Shrinking: Taylor Momsen Needs To Take A Step Back

What in the world is going on with Taylor Momsen? The 17-year-old starlet recently posed on the cover of Revolver Magazine nearly-naked and clutching a giant gun. Inside the mag, Taylor came across like a real live grown-up by talking pornography and sex tapes. She considers herself an aficionado of the latter, claiming: “If it’s a good sex tape, I’ll watch it. I like some adult stars. I have a couple favorites. But I will say this: That Tommy Lee-Pamela Anderson video wasn’t very good. I wouldn’t fuck Tommy Lee.”

That’s pretty strong stuff coming from a teenager! We brought in our resident expert, celeb psychotherapist Dr. Gilda Carle, to shed some light on Taylor’s behavior. As usually happens when we discuss teen celebs, Dr. Gilda lamented a lack of parental influence. “Have you seen a parent?” she asked. Come to think of it, we haven’t. Taylor, where are you parents? And don’t point towards Rufus Humphrey. More »

Star Shrinking: Justin Bieber Headed For Arrest?

Has anyone registered the blog “Justin Bieber in Handcuffs” yet? The young singer recently got himself into major trouble by throwing water balloons at a pair of Maryland state troopers. Justin and some friends were goofing off before a show when they decided to soak the cops. The only problem? Well, that’s a felony — and Bieber’s bodyguard had to talk the officers out of arresting the teen idol.

So is this just an issue of “boys will be boys,” or is Justin’s behavior a sign of serious trouble? Celeb psychotherapist Dr. Gilda Carle talked with us about the young star’s behavior. Dr. Gilda described Justin as “a child who’s been thrown into the adult world of immediate gratification and instant success.” She added that he’s “not ready to handle this, obviously. He’s regressing to being a child again to prove to everybody how unready he is.” More »
