    “Each Concession We Make Is Accompanied By An Inner Diminution Of Which We Are Not Immediately Conscious.”

    Teri Agins: "There are stylish footwear options for women with bunions-so long as you're prepared to make concessions. That means no stilettos or pointed-toe styles." [WSJ]

    You Know, That Type

    Rupert Everett on meeting designer Sophie Theallet: '"Sophie had this jet black hair, white skin, and quivering cleavage"...he was "reminded of the French resistance," the type to "hide tons of Jews under their bed."' [The Daily Beast]

    Deep Thoughts

    WSJ on popped collars: "Check yourself out in the mirror from all angles to experiment with ways to pop up that collar ever so slightly, so that it looks stylish and not too studied." [WSJ]

    Paris Hilton Is One Of The Most Down To Earth People She Knows

    Just when you forget about Paris Hilton, she's back! In philosophical mode: here she tells Esquire "what she's learned." It's vintage — like, 2004 — Paris: good, bad, ugly and plain weird. And strangely comforting!

    How Many Republicans Does It Take To Screw In A Lightbulb?

    Answer: None, they only screw the poor. You'd think that joke would only be funny to the left-leaning among us, but you'd be wrong! According to a study in the science section of today's New York Times, Republicans enjoy all kinds of humor more than Democrats do. The study involved telling 300 people in Boston 3 different jokes: one "traditional" joke about a golfing widower, one just plain silly joke, and one "absurdist" joke cribbed from Jack Handey's SNL mainstay "Deep Thoughts". The assumption going in was that conservatives would prefer the traditional joke, says the Times' John Tierney. And they did. But they also preferred the silly and absurdist jokes. But how come?

    One of the things that gives us penis mag envy every time we hit the newsstands is the fact that they aren't afraid to search far and wide for people to whom to pose questions more existential than "Can u dispense a worthless platitude about finding a boyfriend suitable for 36-pt Helvetica pls?" Sometimes, of course, for all their efforts, magazines like GQ get…well…not much. Click the pic for some deep thoughts from Gisele, Michael Caine, and Bob Schoff, that guy who fell headfirst into the septic tank last Christmas Eve and lived to tell the magazine what it was like to literally be in a "world of shit." (His photo's there too.) Taken together, there's probably a coherent philosophy in there. Albeit a boring one. More »

    Did Jesus Lift Up Dolly Parton's Tits So She Could Tour Once More?

    Dolly Parton has been on tour. But didn't she cancel it on account of the weight of her heaving bosoms? "They say my tour's in shambles," she told an audience at Radio City Music Hall last night. "Welcome to shambles." Get thee to Atlantic City tonight, high rollers! But anyway, it was a report from Dolly's Virginia show on Monday that piqued our interest: apparently a song off her new album Backwoods Barbie demonstrates "her belief in intelligent design." Seriously Dolls? Isn't intelligent design for people who think being gay is a "choice"? Would the lyrics to this "Jesus And Gravity" song shake my belief in a pop culture Deity? I consulted them.

    New Glamour: All About Guys! (Matthew McConaughey Thought They Said High)

    Time again for "Cover Lies", in which editorial geniuses Maria-Mercedes Lara and Cheryl Campbell rewrite the cover lines of America's favorite magazines to more accurately reflect the stories within. But first, TRUE CONFESSION!! We semi-dug the "guys" issue of Glamour. There was a really touching story about how DJ A.M. got off crack, and another really touching interview about how Tracy Morgan got off booze (did that actually happen???) and a story we imagine would have been really touching had we read it about Mariane Pearl's optimism re: the Middle East peace process. There are hot black-and-white photos of James Marsden, Omar Epps, GAVIN ROSSDALE and Justin Chambers looking all serious and sensitive and crap, and a whole fashion spread with Pharrell, and blah blah blah Diddy and Ryan Reynolds! And how much of this shit does Glamour advertise on its cover? NADA. Whatever dudes, you asked for it... More »

    Why Kate Hudson And Matthew McConaughey Don't Bone

    Well here's a fun thing: Glamour outsourced the authorship of its cover story to Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey this month. The subject is "why they would rather be friends than hook up." It's hard to say whether we learn precisely that, though. What we do learn: that if McConaughey "slapped ten asses" on the street he could pick Kate Hudson's out of an ass lineup. That the name of his production company is Just Keep Livin. That his personal motto is Just Keep Livin. That Just Keep Livin's first production is a movie called Surfer, Dude. And that Just Keep Livin has been making Surfer, Dude for seven years but production swung into high gear over the summer, as Kate explains.
    KH: I'm sure a lot of readers will know about this movie because there's a lot of pictures of you in Malibu.

    How The Halliburton Rape Cases Explain Everything We Think About

    "Is America establishing a culture of impunity among its contractors operating in areas of armed conflict?" That's the first line of a Harper's story on the Jamie Leigh Jones case — not to be brainfarted with the Jamie Lynn Spears case — now turning American attention to the problems created by outsourcing war to big companies. But take the last nine words away and you're left with pretty much everything that brings us the big horror hits on this site: culture of impunity. MySpace torture, Jeffrey Marsalis, Jeffrey Epstein, gray rape, the 19-year-old raped at Les Deux, the DrunkenStepfather...not gonna go on. It's probably a culture of impunity that emboldened Paul Janka to try and grope me the whole time I was in his apartment, and maybe I contributed to a culture of impunity when I blithely went about my business swatting him off and not, in the name of womanity, telling him off.

    Best Quotes From Ann "Ass Creamer" Coulter Over the Last "Saggysack" Year

    Some site called 'Right Wing News' has compiled a list of "The Best Quotes From The Last Year Of Ann Coulter Columns." (We think they're totally serious!) Coulter quotables like "Democrats resolutely refuse to tell the poor the secret to not being poor: Keep your knees together until marriage," are pretty funny on their own, if you don't take the hate-mongering-harpie too seriously. But you know what's especially funny? When you plug the site's URL into Pornolize.com! Pornolize creates a replica of a website and inserts dirty words — and dirty words you've never heard of — into everything, in this case, turning Rudy Giuliani into Rudy "Cockboy" Giuliani and George Bush into George "Muffmuncher" Bush and creates absurd sentences like:
    Let us pause to note that Mrs. Clinton, if gamahucheed, would be the first woman to become president after her husband had sex with an intern in the Oval "Big Dick" Office.

    Michael Moore Makes Us See Paris In A Whole New Light. And Not Just The Health Care!

    I went to see the Michael Moore health care opus Sicko on Wednesday night with Pillhead. We thought it would be fun if we took extra psychotropic drugs beforehand. Perhaps this is why we both emerged anxious that our waterproof mascara had malfunctioned. That night Michael Moore had been scheduled to appear on Larry King Live, which we probably would have skipped to drink beer, but as it happened his appearance had been pushed to accommodate Paris Hilton's exclusive post-release interview. Which, duh, we needed to watch. Was there symbolism? Could these two things be tenuously linked for a semi-convincingly thinky blog post?? More »

    Knockoffs Get Knocked Off

    • Americans' chances at getting a fake Gucci bag or fake Chanel sunglasses just decreased, big time. Last night brought about one of the largest counterfeit busts in recent history, with 29 people arrested, $230 million in merchandise seized, and $1 million in cash found and collected. [WWD]
