Hey, let's not knock the prom purse. Until every formal dress comes with deep, sturdy pockets, the cheap among us will grab the first thing that qualifies as a "formal clutch" that she sees. Because she hates purses.And her feckin' dress doesn't have pockets. But she's not bitter.
Holy shit is Alyssa Milano gorgeous. When I was a little kid I always wanted to look like that, in a dress that red. Like the Wayne's girlfriend at the end of Wayne's World, that color red dress. But if you're blonde and pasty that color just doesn't look as pop-y. So sad for my life. Good thing nobody invites me to benefits. Or movie premieres.
@cate3710: I think you're right about the fit, it isn't really that bad. But the way they've sequinned to frame her lover belly and hips is not flattering. Plus the straps by her arms make it looks like the fabric over her chest is straining to stick together.
I believe Barbie's casual Friday outfit is a mini-skirted version of that, actually.
When you said "ankle bracelet" I thought you meant the police tracking kind, then I scrolled down. It would have been hard to match a necklace to the state-issued sort.
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: I know! Is there a seamstress shortage in this country? I'm tired of seeing pants dragging on the ground. If you're tripping over it, it's too long!
@cate3710: Ellen just ... wears her pants like that.
They may be too long, but personally I don't have a problem with it. She's Ellen. She can get away with it.
I'm having fun trying to guess what phrase Beth Ditto actually used where it says "[performing oral sex]." It's like a fun MadLib. Lapping vulvas? Chowing on clams, both bearded and Brazilianed? Riding the tongue bus into vaginatown? Visiting the tiny man in his boat?
I think James Franco will be great hosting SNL - he seems to have the right frame of mind and would probably be willing to be a little sillier. I think it's best when the hosts are more open to stepping outside their comfort zone and when the writers can see them as more than just the one role for which they're best known. I'm not sure what to think about Taylor Lautner as a host, but my first instinct was, "Um, what?" I don't follow Twilight so I don't know how his acting is, but I don't think he's ready for something like this yet. Then again, he could turn out to be surprisingly good. I didn't have high hopes for Taylor Swift as a host but she turned out to be one of the better ones so far this season.
Maybe I'm just clueless, but who cares about Michaele and Tareq Salahi? They snuck into a party. Big fuckin' whoop. The only thing that makes it remotely interesting is the fact that they somehow beat the Secret Service, but the idea they're going to sell their story (and presumably tell how they dodged security and got direct access to the president) seems like kind of a dick move. If there really is a hole in presidential security big enough to fit a fame whore through, maybe they should help fix it rather than swap the president's safety for a shot at a shitty reality TV show and a spot on Larry King. I'm sounding increasingly like an old woman, but people these days...no respect! Whatever happened to decency? Now, who would like a hard candy from the linty recesses of my handbag?
It bothers me (somewhat irrationally, I know) that Rihanna said, "I love food because I'm from Barbados."
She does realize that lots of other folks and cultures love food too, right? I don't know why, but it just rubbed me the wrong way. I think I remember she's been quoted other times ascribing lots of things about her to Barbados, so maybe that's just her thing.
@formergr: I get what she's saying. You are right, Barbados is a big part of her image, so she name-drops it a lot. But I just interpreted it as her personal explanation for where her love of food comes from. The rest of the quote was money, so I let it slide.
Am I the only one who has been disappointed with SNL's hosts this season? (James Franco & Muse episode, excluded). It seems like they've been catering to a younger demographic & just going with who's "hot" right now. There are so many people who are FAR more talented and proven than Blake Lively & Taylor Lautner who haven't been asked. It's getting ridiculous. This is the 35th season - you'd think they would be pulling some better people.
Also, it freaking KILLS me that an actor from Twilight was asked before one from HARRY POTTER!!! WTF SNL! The main 3 in HP crush their counterparts in Twilight (if you can even consider them counterparts... which, frankly, based on acting abilities alone, I don't!)
@marin79: hear hear
the acting in harry potter is 9574986y93475 times better than twilight. I was actually appalled by how bizarre twilight actually was - but I think that was a combination of the script, direction, and acting.
@marin79: Well.. the Harry Potter kids have been making movies every year for the last 8 years.. I don't think they actually have the time to do it. Let's see what happens after the movies are done.
@neka78: Daniel Radcliff was in NYC on Broadway for months last year & Emma Watson is just in Providence at Brown now. I can't imagine that logistically it couldn't have happened - whether they have any interest in hosting, who knows...
@alwaysapropos: If you find a good one, I'd love the doctor's name, because I feel the same way. They look like they're having a conversation. So cute! (And Heidi is just stunning without makeup)
@alwaysapropos: Oh...my God, that is an adorable baby. I know people say all babies are beautiful but they're just nuts. I saw one kid the other day, I swear to God I thought the parents had diapered the wrong end. This kid, though? OMG, teh cyute!

Actually, I would wear a few of these dresses: Cindy Crawford's, AM's, Emma Hennings's, Selena Gomez's...man, this is a record for GBU.
Does Suzanne Somers wear a wig?
