Heather Thompson doesn't seem to understand the word trophy wife. Just being married to a rich man doesn't make you a trophy wife, I don't think anyone has ever called Melinda Gates a trophy wife. A trophy wife is a woman a rich man married soley for her looks.

I really don't want to see Rudy with her boyfriend.

Also, strange as this is...I'm actually sort of happy that David Duchovny and Tea Leoni are back together

Wow. Every story I've read about a celeb making a donation to a cause over the last few weeks have had some people crying "not enough", "vanity project". Talk about damned if you do and damned if you don't. Maybe sometimes, the agenda is just to help people?

I'm pretty sure those getting the funds are appreciative of both the money and that others care enough to do so, and could care less about the motivations behind the donations.

And really, before you start complaining about someone giving "only" $500,000, you should ask yourself what you're doing to try to help those who are not so fortunate as yourself. If you're not making some attempt to make a differnece, I don't think you should be wanking on those who are.

I just loooove how Hulk Hogan keeps going on and on about how evil his ex and her younger boyfriend are...while conveniently ignoring the fact that he is paying his own much younger girlfriend $4,000 a month to be his "personal assistant." Duties include shaving his back.

@megnificent: Ew, really?

I met him once, at the Atlanta Airport. I was pretty taken aback not only by how tall he is, but by the fact that he was oiled (in a suit!) and sporting a spray-on beard - seriously. Up close, it's totally just paint.

This was like, 7 years ago, so I can't imagine, don't WANT to imagine, what he looks like up close and personal now.

When I was a kid he was one of my heroes. Now he's just a schmuck.

Can someone please explain to me why celebrities seem to have so much trouble with using teh interwebz? It seems to be an epidemic of some sort, not knowing how to use email, or understand social networking. Anyone would think it was the 1990's!

@cuteasabutton is cynical and sarcastical.: I'm guessing it's because they don't have to spend seven hours a day sitting on a slightly off balanced, decades old "ergonomic" office chair in front of a too bright computer monitor trying to distract themselves from their barely above minimum wage, utterly tedious and soul crushingly, bone achingly, just plain sadistically dull job. But that's just one optimist's opinion. :)

I know it is a typo, but the item about Rudy's reality show with her "live-on" boyfriend made me giggle. I picture a wee little Rudy, sleeping in his pocket and riding around on his shoulder. Like Sophie with the BFG, I guess.

I would watch that show.

I love that Salma Hayek is not planning a huge wedding. Good for her!

I will always crush on Justin Timberlake.

And, maybe I'm just weird, but I'm really tired of celebrities saying how technologically behind they are. They just say it to look cool and edgy and be different from everyone else. Get over it.

No hate for Audrina personally - I mean, I barely know the first thing about her, and I'm sure she's lovely - but The Hills and all its spinoffs make my scalp crawl. Am I the only one? I just think of busted extensions, brain-dead slackjawed fleshbeard fratboys stumbling about whining for attention, and the empty glazed eyes of talentless skinny attractive young people who "live" and "work" in "real cities."

MY reality show would be much better, of course, except every episode would probably involve me sitting in my underpants drinking cheap wine from a plastic measuring cup. But you know how it is.

@tscheese: They make me sick and angry, honestly. Among other thing, the notion that someone can get a 'job' with Diane von Furstenburg that there are hundreds of real candidates who'd kill to have makes me feel ill, whether the post was real or not. The fact that DVF would allow this nonsense to be associated with her gives me rage, and cheapens the company.

Me sitting around in my underpants and pit-stained Duran Duran t-shirt, eating cottage cheese and watching For the Love of Ray J or having conversations with minisparks that include:

Why Ratatouille is better than The Incredibles.

Or why Macchu Pichu is more awesome than the Pyramids.

@PumpkinWhoopies: I like really huge coffee cups in the morning, as I like drinking it while doing hair/makeup and hate having to go for a refill. All of mine were dirty in the sink so I used my large glass measuring cup. Not bad!

I have never watched any of these shows. The clips on Jezebel alone bore me, I would never want to watch the whole episode. I also have anger issues with watching talentless, ignorant people who have tons of money for no apparent reason.

@tscheese: I don't think they HAVE conversations on the Hills/The City/Audrina's Eyeballs. Do they? Is that what constitutes a conversation these days?

ps minisparks' reality show would be HILARIOUS. She was in a foul mood this morning and put on a t-shirt, which she had found at the Salvation Army a few weeks back that said:

I Didn't Do It.

I spat my yogurt out when she walked out of her bedroom.

@rosasparks looks like a Fraggle: I think the poreless, wand-limbed, bedraggled-extension'd young things on The Hills/The City/ The Rural Locale/The Cowboys of Moo Mesa just stand around dully, breathing raggedly and texting each other about nightclubs.

Then, sometimes when two characters need to go from one place to another, they'll mumble "Yuhh," and "Less' go," and "Like, YAWW," as they sullenly stumble into a limo or private jet. As they sullenly stumble OUT of the luxurious transportation vehicle, they encounter OTHER poreless, wand-limbed, bedraggled-extension'd young things. Then the dialogue goes as follows: "Like, YAWWW." Or "Whuh?" or "You WHUH?" And "NAH." Or "LIKE, WHUH?"

If you remove the kicky sound track and sound effects, it's positively nightmarish. It's really, really unsettling, because it's such a peculiar, washed-out, slow-motion apelike mockery of actual human behavior. Like alien creatures from another world came to Earth and stole a bunch of shiny, freshly painted mannequins from a department store and tried to put on a puppet show with them, but the aliens couldn't quite produce the sounds of human speech, so they just mumbled along.

As you can tell, I am not the target demographic.

@TheFormerJuneBronson: It really is like watching normal humans who have random bits of their brains controlled by aliens, except the aliens can't decide which bits to forget about and which bits to tweak, and sometimes they just completely forget and let their wards slump about like forgotten marionettes. Or really good animatronics, except the puppeteer can't decide whether to do heroin or meth. It's really, really unsettling.
