Don’t Ya Just Love Jim Jenny?

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy are one of my favorite couples. At first, it was their anti-marriage stance that made me pay more attention to them. As far as I know, the two aren’t not getting married for political reasons, or taking any kind of “not until it’s legal for everyone!” stand, they just simply don’t see the point. And I say, hooray for them! I think that kind of thinking is refreshing in today’s world, when a couple is actually just doing what’s best for them and not trying to make some kind of statement about it.

Okay, more reasons to love Jim and Jenny. They also do oodles of good work, most of which is for autism, which Jenny’s son is affected by. They recently just hosted a poker tournament to raise money for the cause and People nabbed them long enough to talk about the event, and of course, to give them a chance to talk about their relationship, and give us even more reasons to love them. From People,

“Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy have been together four years – and they have a simple explanation about what makes their relationship work.

“Say what you mean,” McCarthy tells PEOPLE. “No one has the energy for mind games.”

“Jenny is the first person that I’ve been with where I don’t have a giant question mark over my head,” Carrey says at the Saturday Night Spectacular poker event he hosted with McCarthy at Miami’s Bank of America Tower.

But how do they keep their relationship on track? “Communication,” McCarthy says, before ticking off other important factors. “Being turned on by each other. Being each other’s soul mate.”

“When you’re not turned on, there’s generally something to talk about,” Carrey interjects. “So, it’s good to listen to that.”

Carrey, 48, and McCarthy, 37, hosted the event to raise funds for their autism organization, Generation Rescue. “This is so important,” Carrey says. “Everyone knows someone who has been touched by autism. It’s important to know that there is hope.”

It’s an issue that hits close to home for them both. McCarthy’s son, Evan, was diagnosed with autism in 2004. Since Carrey started dating McCarthy, he and Evan have developed a close bond. “I think a man who is good with children is sexy,” McCarthy says. “And Jim definitely is. He loves Evan so much.”

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, does the happy couple have any big plans? “I don’t know,” McCarthy says, before turning to Carrey. “What are we going to do?”

He just smiled: “Every day is Valentine’s Day, baby.”

I’d like to imagine that with these two, every day is Valentine’s Day. But I think because they’re so honest, it’s most likely not. Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy have always been quite open about their relationship, even though there’s not a whole ton of drama surrounding these two. They’ve also made it quite clear that they are in it for the long haul with each other – but that there will most likely never be a piece of paper to prove that.

Jim Carrey Will be Proud Grandpa!

It’s so interesting when we hear that celebrities are about to become grandparents. We talk so often about how this person is pregnant, or that person just gave birth. But it’s rare when we talk about celebrities celebrating the births of their grandchildren! Well, Jim Carrey isn’t celebrating a birth yet but he soon will be with the news that his daughter, Jane Carrey, is expecting her first child. From People,

“Jim Carrey’s rock musician daughter Jane Carrey is expecting her first child. “I am very excited,” Jim, 47, says in a statement. “Jane is going to be a great mom.” His 21-year-old daughter, who sings for the Jane Carrey Band, is having the baby with her fiancé, Alex Santana of the rock band Blood Money. Jane is the Liar Liar star’s daughter with his first wife Melissa.”

How fun - and weird - would it be to have Jim Carrey as your Poppa? I think it’s so cute how excited he sounds, telling the world what a great mom his kid will be! Congratulations to Jane, Jim, and the rest of the family!

Is This a Violation of Rights or Normal Censorship?

Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor have a movie coming out called I Love You Phillip Morris which features two gay men who both serve time in the same prison and fall in love while there. But there’s a problem. The problem is not that it’s a love story between two men. I mean, we all remember Brokeback Mountain do we not? The problem is that there’s a very explicit love scene between Carrey and McGregor and for this reason, US Cinema is threatening to not release the movie in theaters but instead put it right to DVD. The fact that this love scene takes place within the first 10 minutes of the scene is also supposed to be relevant somehow. From Digital Spy,

“Jim Carrey black comedy I Love You Phillip Morris may not get a US cinema release because it contains an explicit gay sex scene.

Despite securing distribution deals in the UK and Europe, US firms are uneasy with a love scene between Carrey and Ewan McGregor’s character Phillip Morris, reports The Times.

“The depiction of the sexual activity was far more than I’ve ever seen in a mainstream film with a mainstream celebrity,” said Lewis Tice, director of publicity and marketing for TLA Releasing. “There’s a graphic sex scene in the first 10 minutes that I was surprised to see.”

Filmmakers are re-cutting the movie for US distribution companies in an attempt to secure a theatrical release. If no agreement is reached, the movie will go straight to DVD.

“Mostly straight, multiplex-going audiences don’t want to see a romantic comedy in which two dudes get it on; unless it is meant as a joke,” commented Scott Stiffler, author of Why Hollywood Avoids Gay Movies.

I Love You Phillip Morris focuses on real-life con artist Steven Marshall (Carrey), who falls in love with his cellmate (McGregor).”

So is this a violation or somehow prejudice against the gay community? I think to get an answer you have to ask whether it’s being held to the same standards as movies that have explicit sex scenes between a man and a woman. Is it really more than we’ve ever seen in a mainstream film? Because I’ve seen some pretty nasty stuff when I’ve gone to the show a few times. Did Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor really make a porno or does it come down to the fact that it’s two guys and the idea of that makes some people squirm?
