Comments
Hmmm...I wonder how Reese feels seeing pics of her kids skiing with the cornish game hen with whom Ryan cheated.
Hopefully she couldn't care less.
Isn't Michelle Williams' dad on the run or something for financial shenanigans of some sort? Not that I don't agree that the Ledger fam should be forthright and all, but it just rings hollow coming from the source. Something about a pot and a kettle...
re: Britney & Miley
Wasn't there a South Park episode about this phenomenon, like, ten minutes ago?
I have to admit, that episode exceeded my own personal boundaries for good taste.
Brooke Burke: Michael, Jason, Justin, James. Something not far-out so people will perceive him as level-headed and ignore the fact that his mom is super hot.
Name suggestions: Nevada, Impala, Umbrella, Jello, or Bob.
So the ending of the South Park episode is happening in real life!! Beware Miley!
@braak: really? i thought it was slightly more acceptable than the Cartman/AIDS ep. that was disgusting.
So where is the cat now Renee, they aren't big on travelling.
Oprah can be a bit overbearing, so it isn't surprising the audience has swung. You can't always be on the top, but given the challenge she'll be back up soon.
Brooke, how about Mary? Really shock people with normality.
Tyra.... If I were you, I would still hang onto Top Model... We all know you're no Oprah... Or Ellen... Or The Ladies on The View... or Ricki Lake... Or Jerry Springer... Or hell even Jenny Jones!
@abbycadabby: She doesn't even speak to him. Guess he is hoping for a cut.
@Leiakat: I was thinking Mary for some reason too...
Wow. I didn't know there was no drugs or temptation in Israel or Africa. Learn something new every day.
@abbycadabby: yeah - isn't it like tax evasion or something like that? shady.
Toonces for the new baby.
@Leiakat: Isn't it a boy? I guess then Mary wouldn't be so normal.
@CMG: I didn't see that one. I don't hold it against the South Park guys, though; I feel like they've got a mandate to push the boundaries of taste, and it's good that someone is doing it.
And, now, I know what my limits are.
Renee Zelleweger is the celebrity that I have irrational hatred for. No reason, just can't stand the sight of her. My mother feels the same way about Nicole Kidman, my BFF about Drew Barrymore. It is like an anti-crush and totally inexplicable.
@summerwheatley: I really miss that amazing driving cat...
@blondegrlz: If it IS a boy, I vote "Sue."
@Rilo-Andy: Mary was my 1st thought and then I scrolled back up and read that it was a boy. hey, let's make ALL names gender neutral!
@AthertonMerriweather: Looks like next year's harvest will be even better...
Boo on doctors who speculate publicly about people who are not their patients and whom they have never examined. I guess you don't get HIPAA rights if you're not someone's actual patient? Anyone can talk about your medical issues without consequence?
@braak: it was the 1st new ep of this season. normally, I'm pretty hard to offend, but I had a hard time with that ep.
@Rhody: my dad's the same way about sandra bullock.
Page Six overheard one bystander comment, "An Olsen just went in there." When asked which troll-sized twin it was, our witness replied, "I think it was the fat one."
are you fucking kidding me? I'm sure the LES hipster bystander was just being an asshole, but in what universe is either of the Olsens fat? I don't even know to which one he/she was referring. they both look like skin and bones to me.
Kate Moss is gettin' married in the mornin'
Ding! Dong! The bells are gonna chime!
Put down the coke, Kate,
Have someone grab your date,
And get you to the church on time...
Ryan Phillipe...no need to be jealous of a girl and her best gay shopping.
if Dame Mirren would like me to spritz her with water or hold her tanning lotion for her daily nude bathing sessions, i am here...
Ty-Ty should calm down her raging ego and give some love to Mr. J. The Js are the best part of that whole stupid show.
@Rhody: I have an anti-crush on Andie McDowell. She makes me cringe.
I vote Denali for BB' son. And yay for Britney getting left alone. And boo for Miley getting hounded. I bet they are waiting for the crotch shot. Stay classy, paparazzi!
@CMG: Actually... if you're a friend of Dorothy (prefer the company of men) you can call anyone "Mary"! :)
@blondegrlz: @myrtlebeachbum: Haha - when I realized the mistake, that is where my mind went too.
Mary is the new it boys name. Girls have gotten Marion, Leslie, Ashley, and even Ryan. We can offer this to the boys in return!
@myrtlebeachbum: At the dog park last week, a guy had a male Akita named Tsunami. He was explaining to a woman how he calls the dog Tsu, as in "A Boy Named" for short. The woman says "but he's a male, right?" And the guy was just like "yeah, you know, like the song... never mind."
@braak: I couldn't even make it to the end. I heard how bad it was, but hadn't seen it yet....I started watching a repeat the other night like 10 minutes into it and as soon as Britney entered the recording studio and was making all those gurgling noises I was like HELLLL NAWWWW this is messed up! and changed the channel. It wasn't funny at all.
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo is reading this sexy blog.: Have I told you lately that I love you?
@Rhody: I'm like that w/ Cameron Diaz. Renee creeps me out, but I'm not quite hating on her yet.
Don't hold your breath on that free Dr. Pepper. Axl's been promising to release Chinese Democracy since 1996.
And how awesome is it that the woman who came out and essentially lost her show is now more popular than Oprah? I know there's still a long way to go for gay rights, but that makes me happy.
@Leiakat: @Rilo-Andy: Mary, for a son?
@CMG: Didn't Soleil Moon Frye just name her daughter Joseph something? She could be friends with Brooke's baby boy Mary! Joseph and Mary, how perfect.
@baa: It is impossible for Tyra Banks to conceive of a world in which she is not the best part of whatever it is she's doing.
@Rhody: for me it's keira knightly. hate hate hate.
@braak: i think that episode was brilliant! for once, not for its humor though. I found it oddly chilling and cautionary. when i first saw previews for it i thought they would skewer britney but i was surprised when they went the other way and skewered us for being so obsessed with her!
@Leiakat: my middle name is Marion. it's my grandmother's name. I always felt bad for men (ie John Wayne) named that.
@frecklefacefreak: Agreed. I had my doubts the second we found out she was still alive; I ducked out at the recording studio scene, also. I got a plot summary from my friend, who, as a TV critic, is vocationally obligated to sit through stuff like that.
@DorothyZbornak: so rad. and I love Ellen - she's hilarious (minus the puppy issue last year). And adorable with Portia.
@braak: @CMG: @frecklefacefreak: I really liked that episode, though it was disturbing and creepy and I never want to see it again. But they said what needed to be said (granted, using less than attractive methods) and who would've thought that it would be the kids from South Park who would come out in Britney's defense?
funn fact: miley is from my town where I grew up.
Omg! I almost had a Jezzie moment in the checkout line when I saw that Miley was included in one of those "stars with no makeup" things! The fuck? A fifteen year old? Seriously? This is the time when you let your skin breathe. She's too young to be put in that!
