• Michael Phelps isn't really looking for a girlfriend. "I am 23 now and if I went out with a girl she wouldn’t see much of me until I get past 30," he explains. That's just silly! Ladies see plenty of you. When you're wearing a swimsuit. [Daily Express]

Welcome back to Missdemeanors, in which we accuse gossip bloggers of Crimes Against Womanity. We do this because the gossip industry is sexist, and only getting worse. These people are paid to write "gossip" but, 99% of the time, the words they use to go with celebrity pictures denigrate, critique, belittle and objectify women. This week: Breasts. They're too flat, they're too big, they're too good, their areolas are not good enough. Plus! This is a "very special" episode of Missdemeanors, as you shall see. The continued degradation of female celebrities, after the jump. More »

Ever notice how many female characters are "suffering" in Hollywood films? "She was suffering through a break-up," "the character was suffering from an abusive past," "she will play a woman who is suffering through cancer," et cetera. It seems like whenever writers want to throw some "depth" into their scripts they will construct a "suffering" character (usually female) and is forced to learn a lesson the hard way and/or die. Sure, it can be done well (Sophie's Choice) but the suffering victim has become so overused that it is now just a cliche that talent agents foist on their starlet clients to move them into Serious Actress territory. In the latest casting announcements, we hear about more suffering women: Halle Berry plays a woman "suffering" from a personality disorder in a mix between Gothika and Queen; Rudy from The Cosby Show plays a hooker (!), and that girl who isn't Vanessa Hudgens stars in a (hopefully) campy re-make of Teen Witch. All that and more after the jump! More »

Billy Ray Cyrus has denied rumors that he deleted Lindsay Lohan's number from daughter Miley Cyrus's phone. Is it so wrong to want to keep your barely legal spawn away from Lilo? If nothing else, she will encourage Miley to use an unhealthy amount of tanner. • Or worse, Miley could end up like Lindsay's real life little sis, 14-year-old Ali: on a reality show with their momager Dina.
