    I don't understand the question "Are they hot though?" Well, son, you'd know if a girl was hot if you were... attracted to her? I am very confused by the Hugh Jackman & son exchange.


    Also, Winona's Big Gulp cups are filled with a cherry slushie, and don't tell me otherwise!

    Wow, I totally recognize that woman who helped Katherine McPhee! Not sure if she is homeless, doesn't really look it...she's usually hanging out in the same spot on that street (in BH), just shooting the shit with whoever is around. She's always seemed pretty nice to me, so kudos to her for getting the paparazzi to back off!

    I can't see either Leo or Johnny Depp as Sinatra. Leo is way too big (tall and thick) and Depp is the right size but much too old. Maybe Marty should go for an unknown actor.

    Can people please stop ragging on Obama for not getting a shelter puppy? Come on, now. Lighten up. What right does Simon Cowell have to tell the Obamas that they should get another dog? That's almost like demanding that someone have another baby.

    Was it 60 Minutes or some Animal Planet special in which they did a segment on inmates training service dogs and how it did so much good for both the dogs and the inmates because it taught the inmates to value another life and see themselves as having something to offer others? They interviewed one inmate who cried when it came time for him to give up the dog, he'd become so attached. I couldn't finish watching the show without crying big blubbery tears. That sounds like an amazing program and it makes me love Glenn Close that much more.

    Oh, and Gwynnie? Prince is party music. Beyonce is party music. Your bestie Madonna is party music. Coldplay is NOT. I'm not sure what kind of stuffy, bland, fake-British-accenty parties you go to, but perhaps you might broaden your horizons past the one band your husband is a member of.

    "Kevin and "Aunt " Jodi Kreider, brother and sister-in-law of Kate Gosselin on Jon and Kate Plus 8 say that Jon had to empty his 401K because Kate has been keeping the money they earned from their reality show to herself."

    @heymissmegs: And nothing beats being a famewhoring couple quite like being a famewhoring couple selling another couple out. Why the HELL are these people yapping on about the Gosselins? I am sure they did something to really piss of the Kreiders to make them stoop this level of asshatery, but you can't hold yourself out as "concerned Auntie and Uncle" when you're sharing intimate details of a marriage. Clearly the Kreiders don't give a crap about the kids either or they would keep their mouths shut, it isn't helping anyone! Yeah, okay, they care about the kids so they are going on tv questioning their mother's parenting skills. Unless they have allegations of actual abuse, in which case they should head to Child Service, stfu!

    @goldengirl11 (is way too earnest): Aunt Jodi was part of the show (she helped with the kids) and was very popular until Kate found out she and her husband were getting paid by TLC to be on the show. So she canned them. So yeah, there might be some bad blood there.

    Re: Robert Pattinson.


    I would like to issue a sincere and comprehensive apology for my error in judgment. For months, I have rolled my eyes. I have sniffed contemptuously. I have made no effort to understand. But I finally watched Twilight the other day, and while I still maintain that there is some unforgivable writing in that motion picture, I cannot deny that I would enthusiastically do filthy things to that sly youngster.


    I was wrong about him. Very, very wrong. Thank you for allowing me to unburden myself of this guilt. And also for not judging me too harshly when I say: HOLY SHIT I WOULD LIKE TO BEND HIM OVER AND GIVE HIM A VERY, VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

    @agent.wasabi: La Pietra is absolutely right, as always, my friend. There are moments of shameless, cringing melodrama that will have you blushing for your twelve-year-old self who would have LOVED THAT SHIT.


    But it's also breathtakingly beautiful to watch - all misty forests and foggy greenness so deeply saturated you could almost drink it. And the acting is actually very good, especially considering some of the lines those poor actors had to work with, and it's well cast, even down to the minor supporting players.


    And Pattinson is ridiculously beautiful. He's deliciously foxy beyond any imagining. Honestly, you won't believe that anyone that luminously alluring is actually allowed to exist.

    @la.donna.pietra: I know, right? I've just started reading the books, and whereas I think my twelve-year-old self would have been simultaneously swooning and irritated at the frankly terrible writing, at 27, I've nothing but gleeful enjoyment of it all. It's so gloriously over-the-top and self-serious that I can't help but laugh uproariously at every turn of the page. It's fucking fantastic to be a grown-up, man.


    And yes. Implementation is one of the great joys of adulthood, isn't it? Mr. Pietra and Señor Turnip are lucky chaps indeed to have access to ladies with such active literary imaginations. Or randy bookish tarts, as my best friend calls our type. I do not reject such epithets.

    @ASmallTurnip: The commentary track with the stars and the director is a thing of beauty.


    Pattinson: [Edward]'s like a superhuman moron with absolutely no superhuman powers. He wears lipstick has a little bouffant and does little circus acts.... Looking scary with a little baseball outfit on and a little bouffant, you know... it just does not work, especially with sculpted eyebrows. ...I'm really scary in reality, I mean, most of the time.

    @poogirl: The whole track is the three of them making fun of each other, the movie, etc. Pattinson himself seems to be going out of his way to mock Edward. When Edward rescues Bella from the "gang," RPattz almost killed me with his whole "oooh, look! I'm scaaary" in this high-pitched femme-y voice.


    He mocks himself, too: "I've got such effeminate hands. I could never be strong.... I used to play in goal on my football team.... when I got to a save my fingers would bend back and the ball would just hit me in the face....


    "I have a really flat head... and rock-solid gelled hair. Sometimes I feel like my head's being turned inside out, like that episode of ren and stimpy when hes inside his own bellybutton. I have like one of those butt chins.... like a nubbin."
