• Have you ever stepped on a cat's tail? That's what Kat DeLuna's rendition of the National Anthem sounds like, except it goes on for two minutes. [DListed]

Elton John and a drunken, slurring Lily Allen got into it big time at a GQ awards show in London last night — and, as you can imagine, Elton made Lily look like a drunken fool.
STORY TIME "Helen Mirren makes some startling revelations — she was date raped more than once and has tried several illegal drugs — in a revealing new interview with the British edition of GQ."
Thank heavens for Batman, because we are being treated to more Christian Bale this month than should be allowed. This time he's gracing the cover of the UK GQ and saying more things to remind us he's as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside.
I used to think about [being spotted by fans] way more when I wasn't being recognized. For ages I used to think people were staring at me and I'd think, 'Oh no. I've been spotted by some deranged fan.' But of course they hadn't really recognized me at all, I just had something unsightly coming out of my nose.
Look, I'm human, and I guess I can't help but like it when someone says they like my work. If someone wanted to jump up and down and go, 'You nailed that part. You. Are. F–king. Fantastic,' of course I'd be riding high on that. But before that happens, I'll just have a couple of drinks with my pals.
DOWNGRADE "Blogger Emily Brill spotted Gossip Girl’s Chase Crawford and celebridaughter Rumer Willis out partying together Thursday night (they were also seen flirting at a GQ party last December). … Is Bruce and Demi's edgy spawn just the rebound Chace needs to get over wholesome ex-girlfriend Carrie Underwood?"
GOD COMPLEXES Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis is profiled in the new issue of GQ. This is our favorite excerpt: "His enemies list has grown as he sits in jail, and it was recently expanded to include Access Hollywood reporter Maria Menounos, who did an interview Francis didn’t like. 'She called me the 'ever defiant Joe Francis,' ' he howls. 'Fuck yeah, I’m defiant! It’s like that defiant Rosa Parks won’t give up her seat. Fuck you, Maria. The ever defiant Nelson Mandela just can’t stand apartheid. The ever defiant Martin Luther King. The ever defiant Jesus Christ. You fucking stupid whore. If I saw Maria Menounos, I’d punch her in the face.'"
I grew up sort of like a princess. I know that sounds awful, but I was the baby of the family. I had older brothers, so the little girl always gets everything she wants.
That really does sound stereotypically American!
Apparently, when GQ's photo shoots are not infantilizing women, they are very dull and plainly stolen from Terry Richardson. Better, but still bad.
GQ held their annual Men of the Year awards soirée last evening at Hollywood's famed Chateau Marmont.
Fun fact: Very few Men of the Year at the Men of the Year party. Is their shunning of such crap the key to their glory? Maybe!
Nevertheless, the aggregation of celebrities was thicker than 18-year-old Hayden Panettiere's makeup. Even Rumer Willis was there!!!!!!! Click through to see.

Oh, yes, that's Robin Thicke, hand poised potentially over Rihanna's 19-year-old ass. Jezebel's a little creeped out by these GQ photos and so are we, especially in conjuction with these. What the hell is up with men's magazines wanting to make "naughty children" out of the women kind enough to grace their pages?
Wow, gentleman, is that honestly a barely legal – barely – Hayden Panettiere dressed like a little girl in a nightie and playing with stuffed animals? How pedoerotic! And Nabokovesque, thereby banal.
Gross and bromidic: What a pair. And lucky for you, little girls always get crushes on clichéd jerks.
Ask her to prom and then don't go, because you're much too old for that. And you're married. Oh, God, what have you done?
Literally gay former boy-bander Lance Bass tells GQ he came out of the closet to Britney Spears before he told many of his other friends and family, simply because he "felt bad for her" after her disastrous first marriage.
It was the night of her first wedding, actually. I was in Vegas with her, her dancers, her manager, and my boyfriend at the time… Her manager had already gotten rid of [her first husband] Jason [Alexander] - they’d flown him home. Britney was upset about what she had done…I felt the need to share something. So I sat her on my bed, and I’m like, Well, I’m gay!
Seeing as Bass was "with [his] boyfriend at the time," we're guessing the sit-down revelation was slightly unnecessary, but whatever makes the guy feel good about sharing his deepest secrets with Britney Spears before telling his own mother.

A few weeks ago, Page Six warned sashaying fashionistas everywhere that the tents canopying Bryant Park during New York Fashion Week would play host to fewer fabulous guests this year. While the news certainly came too late for flustered, coked-up event planners to pare champagne orders, it gave us an ample amount of time to fix a cheese plate, pour a glass of red and prepare to ogle the wreckage of the most poorly attended Fashion Week ever. That said, where is everyone?
Last night, everyone was at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London. After the jump, many pictures of them wisely not caring about Fashion Week.

In a new interview with British GQ, Jessica Alba has said that looks matter very little to her when choosing a mate. Instead, Alba notes, intelligence is a major turn on.
"I don't really have a type as such. Intelligence, kindness, a sense of humour - that's kind of it for me.
"I don't really care that much about the physical. I see all the pretty boys I want when I'm working. I'd much rather have a great conversation with someone."
The problem with her liking intelligent and kind suitors is that such qualities won't exist in anyone willing to date a girl who says Mexican women just "pop them out."
More from the magazine under here.

Jude Law is riding the wave of tears spewed forth by Jessica Alba in this month's GQ by saying that he, also, is too good looking to succeed in Hollywood. Said Jude, "I'm only wanted by directors for the image I give off, and it makes me angry. I always wanted to be an actor and not a beauty pageant winner."
Correct, you handsome devil, it must have been your good looks directors sought out when casting you as a voice in Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events or the weaselly, balding, yellow-toothed hitman in Road to Perdition.
Hey, Jude: Shut up.
These are the pictures from Lohan's newest GQ cover shoot, wherein she reveals that she "likes" some cute boys. And I quote, “I need a boyfriend, geez, There are three different boys I like. Maybe five." Ooooooooooooooh, Lindsay! Five? Which one are you gonna ask to Winter Formal?
New rule: Once you're conducting your interviews from rehab (as this one was), you're not allowed to say you "like five boys." From now on, it needs to be, "I'm interested in several men."

How Lindsay Lohan even has time to sit for a photoshoot in between drinking "water" every night at clubs, crashing her car, hating and hanging out with Paris, and "tripping" into the bushes will always amaze me. What won't amaze me, however, is her willingness to take her clothes off. Hell, if she's going to do it while stepping out of a car or boat or moving vehicle of any sort, why not do it in the glossy pages of GQ? A girl has got to promote herself in a means that doesn't involve Star asking whether she's too thin, an alcoholic, or a crackhead.
