1.) Whitney!

2.) Where do broken hearts go?
Harpo Studios, Chicago.

3.) Was Hailey Glassman on Monday's episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8?
While Kate was away shooting guns, Jon was playing dress up with his daughters, pulling from a bag of women's clothes that definitely were not his soon-to-be-ex-wife's. A girl in the background, with her face blurred out, was lending a helping hand.

Jon filled out his dress, nicely.

I love how one of the little girls ended up looking like Mary-Kate Olsen.

4.) David Rothenberg, grown up
When I was younger, I was obsessed with this TV movie David, starring Bernadette Peters.

It was based on the true story of David Rothenberg, who was only 6-years-old when his father tried to murder him by setting him on fire, and causing severe burns to over 90% of David's body.

The real David whom the movie was based on was befriended by Michael Jackson. David, now in his 30s, has lived a really private life (and changed his name to Dave Dave), but resurfaced this week when he attended—and spoke at—MJ's burial.

He also debunked rumors on Larry King Live.

5.) He's not angry, he's mad.
In other MJ news, Joe Jackson speaks out for the first time since the other times he spoke out.

6.) The poor girl's brother just died!
Alena Jenkins, the 19-year-old sister of Ryan Jenkins, was interviewed today on Good Morning America. Alena is the one who most likely drove her brother to the motel where he subsequently hung himself. While trying to be a hard-nosed journalist, this GMA reporter just ended up coming off like an insensitive ass.

7.) Maureen McCormick is losing weight for publicity…again.

She's also losing her mind.

8.) Who wants an Alter-Ego?

9.) "Her future ambition is to be a successful woman."
Crawl before you walk, bitch. God!

10.) "Limousines, Parties"
Did you know that the Daytime Emmy Awards is the most glamorous night in television?

Pure glamour!

Didn't it remind you of Mr. T's fashion video?

Sandra Lee's semi-Barbie getup.


You could really just look at Kate Linder and get an idea of the whole event: Atlantic City saloon madam with just a dash of Reaganomics!


Like, where else could Rachel Zeskind wear this undersea fantasia? Besides one of those events where adults dress like Barbies? (I'm assuming there are events like that.)


In a sea of such wonders, it takes a lot to stand out. But I think Brenda Dickson's two forms of snakeskin make her a definite contender for "The Ugly!"


Or is Lesley-Anne Down's floral bustle action even more noteworthy?


Tonya Lee Williams cleverly satisfies the event's need for glitz and brightness, but without slipping into Vegas territory!


Lena Baurley's dress says: why choose between a salsa club and a rave? You can have it all!


Getty (mis?)identifies her as "The Wendy Williams." Or maybe that makes a certain kind of sense.


Karla Mosley's gown may be sparkle-nation, but its clean lines are refreshingly simple.


Rachael Ray looks appropriately Vegas. And appropriately, sports eggplant, easily prepared in 30 minutes.


Sharon Case opts for texture. And that's all I'll say.


Portia de Rossi's verges on the dreary. Under the circumstances, I'll take it.


I'd almost like to see Molly Burnett's Frankenstein-frock on the Project Runway block. I can just imagine Nina's expression.


Oh, in case you missed it, Rachel Melvin's gown has an enormous rosette on the bodice.


Lori Loughlin: we get it. It's only so often that you get a chance to live out those "Peaches and Cream Barbie" fantasies.


You know what Lesli Kay's nightmare wedding gown needs? A single beaded epaulet on one shoulder.


I'm wondering if, say, Agyness Deyn could sport Chrishell Stause's dress and everyone would applaud it as ironic. It would be an interesting experiment, actually.


It says a lot that Tatyana Ali's gown, which objectively evokes a strip of film, looks like a model of elegant restraint.


Quite digging Jennie Garth's bold color and demure cut.


Wait, wasn't Tyra Banks going to start wearing her hair natural? Although gotta say I like the 60's-inflected little frock.


It's too bad all the really big belts were sold before Elizabeth Hendrickson showed up.


Really, Susan Lucci never disappoints!

Am I right?

And when she held this little boy...

…it reminded of me of the time Celeste Talbert went to the mall in Paramus for an ego boost.

How did she traipse around in those giant wedges? (Not like I'm one to talk about something like that.)

Here's where you can go to learn more and donate time/money to the cause.
