  • Kiefer looks handsome in spectacles! [Gothamist]

  • And! This says Kiefer "meekly" surrendered to cops. [NY Post]
  • Uh-oh. Anna Wintour is fucking pissed that the biggest story from the Met ball is Kiefer's headbutt. A source says: "Anna is furious that the Met Gala got upstaged by Kiefer doing something stupid at an after-party that wasn't even part of her event. Now that's all anyone is talking about, not her party. And she is so genuinely fond of Jack, she has supported him and Lazaro for years, she really feels they are part of the future of American fashion. So she's doubly annoyed." DOUBLY ANNOYED. This will not end well. [NY Mag]
  • Brooke Shields has told friends that she was indeed "jostled" by Jack McCollough at the Met Gala, but it was "no big deal" and had more to do with her 6-inch heels and a dark and crowded room. In any case, maybe Kiefer thought Jack pushed her?!?! [TMZ]
  • Lindsay Lohan has been taking her 15-year-old sister to parties and a source says: "Dina took Ali out of school and now all she does is hang out with Lindsay — who is back to drinking and partying hard.

I have made friends for life and have been inspired by my surroundings. The laid-back lifestyle definitely suits me, it's a home from home with great beaches." Is it too late to catch a flight? [Mirror]
  • Paula Abdul has something to say! "I want to make it perfectly clear to everyone that I have never been addicted to or abused drugs in my life," she says. "I have never been drunk." Wait, what?!?!? "I have never entered a rehab or detox treatment center. I spent time hiking, bicycling, doing yoga and enjoying the spa. As anyone who has visited the La Costa Resort knows, it is a luxury hotel, not a rehab facility." Oh. Hmm. But did you tell Ladies Home Journal you went there to kick your pill habit?!?! [E!]
  • Megan Fox has something to say! "If you know how to take control of [being a sex symbol], then it can be powerful. But I have no idea how to handle it yet, how to deal with it. I don't want to have to be like a Scarlett Johansson — who I have nothing against — but I don't want to have to go on talk shows and pull out every single SAT word I've every learned to prove, like, 'Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak.'

She says of doing double duty: "I'm just exhausted." [USA Today]
  • A judge is placing Roman Polanski's case on hold — not throwing it out; the judge said that because "Mr. Polanski doesn't intend to submit himself to the jurisdiction of the court," his motion for dismissal would be denied. [AP]
  • Sparkly vampire and same-sex scene god Robert Pattinson has hit No. 1 on USA Today's high scientific Celebrity Heat Index, which measures media exposure. Some schmuck named Brad Pitt is No. 2. [USA Today]
  • Sarah Jessica Parker has joined the board of the New York City Ballet and will host the Spring Gala next week, where Samantha Ronson will DJ. [Page Six]
  • Again with this story: Sarah Jessica Parker's surrogate is a "bisexual tattooed rocker." And? [The Star]
  • The pastor of Miss California Carrie Prejean would like all you haters to leave her alone. "We are all sinners. Christians aren't perfect," he says. "The pictures are from when she was 17, and they do not disqualify her from being able to share her opinion." [E!]
  • "Smitten" Joe Jonas is desperately seeking a "lovenest" for he and girlfriend Camilla Belle to sneak off to, since his brothers always seem to be around.

Because if somebody wants a child — man, that's the greatest gift you can give to a woman — so who are you to stand there and say I don't want one. So we were at different points in our lives. We were not compatible on that issue." — Lance Armstrong, on why he broke up with Sheryl Crow. [Page Six]
  • "I couldn't even pick up a girl until I had a hit song. When that happened, in a club in Argentina, I rang my five best friends and said: 'Get down here, we are all going to get laid.'

  • "There were some locations, that by all rights we were supposed to have access to — in front of certain churches, for instance.

I'd always been a fan. I asked him to do it, and he said, 'But I can't act! I can only do what I do, I'm not an actor, you'll be disappointed. Those are the ones who can always do it. The ones that tell you how great they are can never do it. When it came time, he did it. And not just the comedy, which I expected, but all the other things which required acting, emotions and being touching." — Woody Allen, on Larry David, who stars in Allen's film, Whatever Works. [Independent]
  • "The Hanso Foundation that started the Dharma Initiative hired this guy Valenzetti to basically work on this equation to determine what was the probability of the world ending in the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

[Mirror]
  • "It's so mainstream now. When you look at people who are transmitting the news to you on television they all look like they're in porn, the way they're quaffed. It's really crazy. There's this like hyper-grooming thing going on now, men and women. I was never thinking, oh, what an outré thing to do to put a porn actor in a quote-unquote normal movie. I just thought she was interesting." — Steven Soderbergh, on his new flick, The Girlfriend Experience. [WSJ]

<![CDATA[The Best Sears Kids' Fashions For Spring… Of 1972]]> Last week, we quarreled over qiana as we paged through the best women's fashions from this 1972 Sears catalog. This week is child's play! Psychedelic patterns, Perma-Prest pants and tiny trenches, after the jump.



While the colors and the patterns on these swimsuits are fun — and there's certainly more fabric here than in the entire Lucky shoot — the bloomer-ish bottoms make me think of "full" diapers.



I definitely had a windbreaker like this as a kid. And hey, look! An Asian model! Is the 1972 Sears catalog more diverse than Vogue?



Is it the insanely long crotch, the slight flare, or the sea-sick colors that make these jeans "nautical" ?



The Asian girl seems to be saying, "How come everyone here looks like Jan Brady except for me?"



Wow, strawberries! On pockets! Far out!



The young lady with the megacollar purple shirt is saying to her friend with the apple belt, "Mary Jo is always opening her skirt. What a slut."



"Hahaha, anyone know any good sailor jokes?"



Did you know that 1972 was the Year of the Dress? Apparently, it was also the year of red, white and blue. And gingham. And hideousness.



SOMEONE ALERT KANYE WEST!!!1!!!! Yeezy: The gauntlet has been thrown. It's your move.



Ah, "The Rugged Ones," for roughing it, out there in the harsh terrain of the strip mall.



"No way, Jose, my dad sells way more used cars than your dad."



I'm just going to go ahead and point out the fact that the kids with brown skin are not, repeat NOT in the hero cowboy gear. Instead, they get some sad buckskins they probably traded some land for. Really, though: It's not the '70s unless there's a dude with an Afro in a Native-American-influenced getup. See: Jimi Hendrix. And Cochise from The Warriors.



So, which drugs were popular in 1972? Marijuana? Shrooms? LSD? Is there another explanation for these pants?



Check out the saucy minx in the middle, exposing her yellow leg for all to see! Slow down, you move too fast.



"Special" is a good word for it. A '70s-PC way of saying, "more likely to get beat up on the playground," no?



"Elementary, my dear Watson. And by 'elementary,' I mean 'elementary school.' Where I will be going… someday."



Finally! A situation in which jumpsuits are appropriate. The pink "bubble" sunsuit on that little girl, however, still brings to mind dirty diapers.



And look! Speaking of poop: While she tries to hold it in, the elephant just lets loose!

<![CDATA[Did Jimi Hendrix Really Wear His Lucky Headband When He Boned?]]> The Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape: has there ever been such a majestic parade of thoughtlings you never wanted to think? And the Hendrix estate having no comment: that means it's true, right? Or just that when you die your level of "shame" sinks down to Paris Hilton's? How did all those private detectives embark upon their "probe"? (I mean, private investigators: they can't get jobs like this a lot, right? It's pretty obscure shit. Think that in the course of this investigation, they uncovered some Lost Art of Boomer Sex Taping that predated the present Sex Tape era but everyone forgot because they were high, the way it went with the Chinese/gunpowder/opium? Will we ever know for sure? What was the first sex tape? If someone taped you having your haziest one night stand, unbeknownst to you, and then posted it on the internet, would you even be able to recognize yourself? And if the answer to that is "no," is that a good thing? Because my answer is no. Oh wait, and also am I the only one who didn't know there was a plaster model of Jimi Hendrix's schlong? The somewhat NSFW trailer is after the jump.
