Is There Anything More Painful Than Watching A Dude "Mancrush" On Another Dude?
Next month's Vanity Fair's examines the horror wreaked by the "man crush" upon our civilization in recent years: apparently Karl Rove formed a Man Crush on George W. Bush, who in turn nursed a mutual man crush on Tony Blair. Less disastrously, Nicolson Baker had a hardon for Updike. Every male member of the Washington press corps has crushed on John McCain just like every vaguely nebbishy college dude crushes on Obama and every pro-capitalist business journalist crushes on Jack Welch. (Oh yeah, and every guy also crushes on Tom Brady.) My friend Steve forms man crushes so frequently he has a standard line for when he's telling me about a new one: "And then we split a Luna bar." Which made me wonder: Women, you know, get girlcrushes all the time and it's no deal. So what is it about the man crush that is so excruciating to watch? I figured it out. More »

- And what does legendary costume designer Bob Mackie not like about the fashion industry? "Doing a fashion show that's on for 20 minutes and then it's over and everybody runs to the next one. Nobody sings, nobody dances, nobody tells jokes. I found it quite unsatisfying." I second that emotion. [WWD, sub req'd]

Photoshop victim Faith Hill is not pregnant. According to Us, she set tongues wagging about the state of her uterus by wearing a flowy top to the CMT music awards. • Ashton Kutcher dishes about losing his V-card and it's sort of charming: "I was 15. It was out in the woods with a girl I had just met who my buddy set me up with. The whole thing lasted two seconds. It was really awkward. Two years later I had sex with her again just to show her the first performance was a fluke and I'd gotten better." • TMZ is making fun of Tom Brady for being whipped by Gisele Bundchen. They call Brady her "wife." Because being in a monogamous relationship is soooo emasculating. Jerks. [Us, ICYDK, TMZ]
