CB and Rihanna, you have exhausted my capacity to reason or care anymore. You both need help. Get it.

ps: and get the hell out of the public eye while you're getting help, because I will not be fascinated by every single second of your progress.

Hugh Hefner is, unfortunately, the poster boy for not aging gracefully.

So, Lucy Liu, what's the point of painting under a pseudonym (which I didn't even know applied to painters; I thought it was just authors, but I accept being misinformed about that) and then letting Page Six inform everyone WHO YOU ARE? It's like Clark Kent getting sick of getting kicked around at the Daily Planet, so when he just morphs into Superman in front of Lois and Jimmy and everyone else, and is like, OK, ARE YOU IMPRESSED YET??

Is anyone in awe that Ghostface Killah (of all people) wrote a song for Rihanna?

Gwennys association with Christiane Amanpoure makes her infinitely cooler in my eyes. Surely Christiane is only friends with cool folk? Love Christiane. Did a quick google search, appears the ladies are old friends. Does this mean I cannae hate on gwenny anymore?

"I think Rihanna would like this over as quickly as possible. It benefits everybody."

It benefits Chris Brown.
Rihanna is probably dealing with the 'shame' of having everyone know about this, but it doesn't benefit her to have this 'go away quickly'.

@whatsergem: Tommy Davidson from In Living Color was on one of the local news shows here this morning and they interviewed him in their entertainment section right after covering the Chris Brown court appearance and Tommy was like "Hey, you guys forgot to say allegedly. He ALLEGEDLY did those things."

@rd2uk: @EdnasEdibles: Jesus H Christ on a bike.

I'm totally behind empowerment where people, not just women, rescue themself. However, Rihanna in this moment is very much the victim (in a Victim - Perpetrator - Rescuer model. She needs to be there to heal herself, but seriously, she needs a Rescuer, because right now it seems like the people looking after her interests are falling into Perpetrator roles. Mr Lawyer, I'm looking at you.

The skill of the Perpretrator also lies in making themself the authority in the victim's life, and with rihanna cut off from her family, it seems classic.

So imo, a Rescuer needs to step in to intervene, even in a small small tiny way, just so she hears another voice during a crisis.

Dear Candy Spelling,

Normal people don't communicate with their family through publishing deals.

Thanks,

The notion of a John Legend/Amy Winehouse collaboration is cruel. It's not nice to make people dream of that level of musical awesomeness.

Say what you will about Amy, from the moment I heard her I was hooked and will remain so. Also, in a parallel universe, I'm married to John Legend and he writes songs about me.

I totally respect Jerry Lewis' son for agreeing to a DNA test and explaining why he did in such an eloquent way.

I like Russell Brand even more now that I know he doesn't drink.

I have not read the story linked, but I am pretty sure how it plot goes.

This report begins, "Madonna has offered a gnarly old hand to Sienna Miller…

M: This gnarly old hand of a monkey will grant thee wishes Sienna Miller, and I have benefited from its use. But beware, for it must be used wisely, for the wishes may easily backfire upon the owner. Take heed, for I received it from Michael Jackson, and I do not think he is exactly a person one might want to emulate, despite his past successes.

SM: Oh, Madonna, how generous of you to offer me such a talisman! I promise to use wisdom and restraint in choosing my wishes!

They hug. And then Rod Sterling appears and has some sort of pithy monologue. Fin

You know, Chris Martin really pisses me off because I sincerely would like to loathe him. But that fucking stoatface with the vegetarian-macrobiotic yoga-crusted lifestyle and the drip of a wife actually says some lovely things from time to time. That wee snippet about his dad is fucking adorable, and it makes me think warm, friendly things about him. And I hate that.

Chris Martin, you are a weasel.

@ASmallTurnip: HAHAH I know what you mean! I WANT to hate on him but he just comes of as so bashful and sweet. I did an interview with them a few years ago while working at my uni radio station and he was SO funny and self depreciating. Someone called in and was like how do you handle being away from home for long period of time (or something to that effect) and he was like 'well i tour with my best friend so its fun' and then leaned over and kissed the guitarist on his cheek. so. sweet.

I also appreciate that he seems to be aware that their music isnt all that good.

and now i sound like a coldplay fan girl.

@ASmallTurnip: I also feel like I should dislike a band that titles their album "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" and that wears uniforms, but dang, I can't. He comes as sweet and self-deprecating in interviews, and I love how he apologized to Paul McCartney at the Grammys for stealing the Sgt. Pepper uniforms (or something like that, my memory may be a bit off).

Also, my love for Ghostface Killah will never die. It began with Supreme Clientele, became cemented with Fishscale, became eternal with his multiple appearances on 30 Rock, and started lighting me up from inside with that song he wrote for Rihanna.

Ghostface: I could not love a human baby as much as I love you.
