Shauna Sand and Chace Crawford?! Now MY mind is blown. Dear sweet lawd...the visuals! The eyebrows! The lucite!
I think the tabloid press received some sort of shoddy bird-and-bees lectures at some point. They seem to think that talking about someday wanting to have a child causes pregnancy, and that touching one's belly is a symptom thereof. They could definitely benefit from some comprehensive sex-ed.
The Taylor Lautner quote makes me think of male cheerleaders ... they always get such crap, but really, they're the ones surrounded by scantily clad girls. If they're getting bullied, it absolutely must be out of jealousy.
@Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: Sorry, I don't think I made my point clear. I wasn't excusing it or saying it was ok ... those of us who aren't in their position know the real deal, and I hope it was implied that the person who might be getting bullied knows, too. I still don't know if I'm getting the words right on this one ...
Nicole Ritchie has won me over. Sure, she is famous for nothing, a former drug addict and friend of Paris Hilton--which is infinitely worse--but she seems to have turned things around. Aside from small things such as this, we haven't really heard much about her since she had her first child. No more tabloid antics, no more DUIs, and no more Paris. Then again, she really won me over when she requested a donation to her children's charity in lieu of baby shower gifts. What I'm getting at is that she seems to have grown up and takes her job as a parent seriously. Those things should be givens, but in Hollywood, it's pretty rare. So, props to Nicole. I would offer Paris, Lindsay or the Kardashians as counterpoints.
I'm forwarding you this memo that seems to keep getting lost in your inbox about crack and heroin. They're pretty bad for you, dude, and some would consider them "poison."
"Tila Tequila is threatening to sue because a sex tape she says was stolen from her laptop a few years ago has surfaced on a porn website. She stands to gain the $27 profits netted from purchases of the porno, all of which were made by people who didn't seem to realize they could see her naked for free."
My husband is half Italian, and he is goddamn tired of the Italian-American stereotype. Why is it acceptable to discuss or depict anyone's ethnicity in such crude terms?
@LAmonkeygirl: INDEED! Do you know who can say guido and get away with it? Italians Americans. That's it. As an Italian-American, I'm continually annoyed when other people toss it about, especially when they're sensitive to other ethnic epithets.
Although I have complete sympathy for people/celebrities who have their personal stuff stolen and then broadcast for the world to ogle, I think by now we've all learned the 'sex tape' lesson. Do not keep recordings of yourself having sex with anyone including yourself in your home. Unless you have kickass security, if you need to keep that business, put it in your safety deposit box. Done and done. Sure, it's not good for spontaneity's sake, but it's safe. You decide.
Good Lord! When I read the heading I thought Gerard Butler was bonding with John Gossellin. My heart literally stopped momentarily.
No worries though. Crush still on. (I'm just going to ignore the bonding with Mayer part.)
@sayah: I can't believe the amount of vitriol that is being thrown his way. Oh wait, yes I can. He is a gay man who flaunted his sexuality in a performance rather than hide it. It aired at 11 on a Sunday night! All young impressionables should have been in bed and by making a big deal about it, you are ensuring that they will see it!

@Sputnik_Sweetheart: See, he makes me uncomfortable because, at least for his AMA performance, I hate the shit he did. And no, it's not because he's gay. I couldn't care less about his sexuality. I just feel that if he'd been a straight man, people wouldn't be championing his dragging women across the stage and rubbing people's faces into his crotch. Call me a prude, whatever, maybe I am. But it's a certain aggression that puts me off, and I felt that way when Xtina did it, and I'd feel the same if he were straight. Undoubtedly some of the disapproval out there is homophobic in nature. But can we not assume that to hate his performance is to hate or fear gays?
@SUNNY1: I'm talking about the radio stations that are threatening to boycott his music, yet continued to play Justin Timberlake and Chris Brown and the TV shows that are canceling Adam's performances, yet didn't cancel Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, etc. after their controversial performances.

I'm pretty sure the only person who poisoned you was yourself. Just say no.
