Stupid, stupid, stupid! (smacks palm into forehead) How did I miss that Segel was on Team No Pants? My dastardly plan to make off with TV Boyfriend and his riches would have been complete if it weren't for you meddling Lohans and your clever leggings! Curses!

Aw, I want Lindsay and Jason to be together. He's a sweetie pie, and he'd write her silly songs and feed her yummy food and be really nice and teddy bear-like, which is what she needs... No more gross sleazy guys with their sleazy guy charms, who don't really care about women as people :(. I still have hope for Lindsay. I think she's a talented, creative person with a beautiful, gentle soul and I want her to get better and be in movies again, and be happy...

I admit I don't know THAT much about Jason Segel beyond the roles he plays and interviews I've seen with him, but he seems like he'd get her to stay home in pajamas and watch muppet movies, play videogames, and eat cereal at least once a week instead of going out & partying...

I don't really care that Tiger wants to screw as many blondes as he can, but I can't help but wonder: why did he get married if he so obviously still wants to play the field? Does he have a wicked stepmother like I have, who will never fail to mention that I'm not married and alll alllloooone?

I didn't realize cheating wasn't a big deal, as long as you're doing it with someone of the same race. Of course, with Tiger, that still doesn't make sense, as he's of mixed-race origin.

Yes, I'm boring. :)

That Russell Brand quote cracked me up.

Sofia is TINY. I cannot believe her reps wanted her to lose weight and get a breast reduction. People are crazy. She's curvy. What's wrong with that?

I have such a hard time not rolling my eyes when I read statements about selling out from musicians. Obviously they (Kings of Leon) wanted their music to go somewhat mainstream, or they wouldn't have signed with RCA, and toured extensively. I don't get it. Is Caleb pissed that his music is being enjoyed by people over the age of 25 who don't wear skinny jeans? Sorry dude, get over yourself, if you wanted to stay small you should have kept on singing in garages and shit.

@GirlFailer: I actually named my indie band. Shortloin and the Hindshanks.
We'll never tell the fans which one of us is Shortloin. It'll be an eternal guessing game.

Look for our album, coming out never. We're too indie for music. We merely record the sounds of our weeping.

(PS, Kings of Leon, your music sucks anyway.)

@GirlFailer: I don't know. If you want to be a musician, you have to tour all the time to make any money at all. And when bands are starting out they get used to playing anywhere and everywhere just so they can make the jump from $50 a night to $500, so if they are lucky enough to get a break, it's hard to switch the brain from desperation mode to making strategic career decisions (such as not making stupid sounding comments to the media).

I've seen bands handle this well and handle it poorly. I've met these guys a few times and they were just normal, like guys you went to high school with. I really don't think they had some grand plan to become corporate musicians and changing your self-concept on a dime would be difficult for anyone.

@GirlFailer: I think "cowbell" and fire extinguisher are about the only two percussion instruments I could play, considering I'm terrible at music. Well, I can also play the English handbells, but there's not much call for that, outside of church services and Sufjan Stevens.

I can't believe that story about Hulk Hogan's toilet seat got out! I was sure they would be able to keep a lid on it. There both still flush after the divorce, one would think they could just buy a new one? It's always sad when a marriage tanks.

I think I just filled my lifetime quota of toilet puns.

I'm sure the two movies will be R rated.

It takes place during the scene when Ron has to destroy the horcrux and it keeps showing him things like Hermione saying Harry's better than him and them making out to try to turn him evil.
