All that press about Britney opening the VMAs, and she basically did an quick intro on stage. What??? Actually, to be fair, there was a pretty funny video that preceded the quick onstage intro, but still, they teased me into wanting more. I don't know that we can officially call it a comeback, but I will say, I think she should take up acting... she's kind of funny.
You know who is not funny? That Russel Brand guy that hosted the VMAs. Who is he anyway? He was terrible - and terribly unfunny!
Double trouble...
Rumor has it that Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are having twins. It appears that second only to Britney's "comeback," the talk of the VMAs was the size of Ashlee's bulging belly, and a friend of the couple is confessing that it is so large because they are expecting twins.
I don't know why it bothers me so much that people are always talking about the size of a pregnant woman's belly. Pregnant bellies, just like women, come in all shapes and sizes. Can't we just let pregnant women do their job instead of evaluating the size and shape of their bump. If indeed Ashlee and Pete are expecting twins, then congratulations, if not, I still think Ashlee looks beautiful pregnant!
Wha' Chu Talkin' About...
I think Gary Coleman could benefit from anger management classes. He has a lot of rage. Reportedly the child star turned has-been, was at a bowling alley in Utah. He got in an argument with another bowler over some pictures the bowler had taken of Coleman, the argument continued outside the bowling alley and ended when Coleman backed his truck out of a parking space and into his sparring partner.
That's all America's Next Top Model is, and I loved all 120 minutes of it! Honestly, I am slowly realizing that the premiere of each season is like Christmas to me. I don't know how I would have survived if Sheena would not have made it to the top 14, and frankly, if she gets kicked off, I don't know how I'll watch. Here's a little taste of Sheena:
The biggest scandal this year, there is a pre-op transexual contestant named Isis. It is interesting to hear people's prejudice against Isis based on a lack of understanding. Isis is very open and shares a lot of her story, and I hope that breeds some tolerance. Leave it to Tyra Banks to go all social issues on us.
Back in the dating scene...
and she's dating a chef. That can't be easy for Star Jones who has famously had gastric bypass surgery (or at least famously admitted to it). She has been seen smooching and cuddling up to Herb Wilson, the executive chef at the Soho and Tribeca Grand Hotels in Manhattan.
Sometimes things pop up unexpectedly...
So says John C. Reily who gets pretty nervous to do sex scenes.
He says, "It's always really uncomfortable to have to swap spit with someone and rub bodies. People (actors) always say, 'In a lovemaking scene, sex is the furthest thing from your mind because you're worried about the crew and lighting'. Bulls**t! If you lie naked against someone of the opposite sex, things happen. The plumbing department doesn't always get in touch with the brain. It just happens!"
"You're simulating sex so your body is very confused."
This is bothered me for a long time. I've always wished someone would just be honest about the reality of doing a sex scene. Actors always try to be all diplomatic and behave like it's all business, but you can't tell me that if I was getting all hot and heavy with Brad Pitt - even if it were pretend, that I wouldn't get a little exicted. Thank you, John C. Reily, for telling the truth.
Please watch this segment with Jimmy Kimmel and Lauren Conrad from the Hills. I need to better understand the phenomenon of baby talking ala Paris Hilton. It is more than just a little bit irritating. And yet, like a train wreck, or RNC coverage on CNN, I cannot turn away... is it just me?
Save Katie... why?
An anti-scientology group called Anonymous plans to stage a protest on opening night of Katie Holmes' Broadway play, All My Sons. The group says they want to save Katie from Scientology, "We want to draw attention to Scientology, and hopefully get Katie out of it before it's too late," the spokesperson says.
I say, wow, that sounds really nice of them... but Katie made a decision to join this religion, and she can live with the consequences of that decision. It may sound harsh... but it's the way of the world.
90210 is BACK!!!!
It has been marked on my calendar for months, my DVR has been set since last Wednesday, and the day finally came. Unfortunately I was not able to watch the entire 2 hour premiere because I promised my husband we could watch it together - and he was working late into the evening last night. However, I will admit to catching the first 20 minutes to find out 2 things, first of all, did they use the old theme song? YES!!! I could not have been more excited. Secondly, what ho-bunk town were the Brandon and Brenda characters going to be from (remember, of course, that the ho-bunk town that Brandon and Brenda were from was MINNEAPOLIS)? The answer, KANSAS. Good to know that in the eyes of 90210, we are right in line with Kansas.
David Duchovny has entered rehab for sex addiction. The X-Files star has asked that his family's privacy be respected during this time. Duchovny currently plays a sex-obsessed character in the Showtime drama Californication which begins its second season in September.
I don't know why his PR people didn't just make a statement that he entered the facility as research for his role. Seems like people may have believed it, or at least not asked too many questions. Don't you think?
It probably goes without saying, but whenever I think of David Duchovny (which isn't a whole lot), I think of this:
I can't wait...
This is exactly the type of ridiculous-ness that gets me all excited for the new season of America's Next Top Model. Such a guilty pleasure! The new season begins next Wednesday (9/3) at 7pm - it's a two hour premiere, so block out your evening!
(please watch the entire clip, I promise you won't be sorry!)
This is ridiculous...
I can't even paraphrase this... so this comes directly as written from starpulse.com:
Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone has accused Demi Moore of deliberately squirting breast milk at his gay friends.
Ciccone claims the actress was lactating and found humor in sharing her milk with fellow partygoers at a nightclub. The admission does not feature in his controversial book Life With My Sister Madonna.
He says, "There are certain stories that don't end the way that they end in the book. It's not really family stuff. It's more like - well there's a bit in the book about Demi Moore and I dancing on the bar. She's dancing up on me and humping me from behind. The one part that's not in the book is that she was lactating at the time and she was squirting breast milk at my lesbian friends."
"My friend Michelle called me the next morning and asked me, "How do I get breast milk out of my black dress?" and I said "How the f**k would I know? Call Demi.' It was hysterical. There are no pictures of it but it actually happened. The lawyers didn't think it was wise for me to print that -- so there's your juicy tidbit."
I don't even have anything cheeky to say about that. that's just sick. I'm going to go sit in a corner in the fetal position now.
Minnie Driver in a bikini! And she's pregnant! Say what you will about pregnant women in bikinis -- I'm all for it! Celebrate that beautiful baby bump, if I could have I would have. I didn't have the courage, but big high fives for Minnie Driver from me for this (Minnie's on the left - I give big kudos to her friend on the right too!):
In May, MN Parent Magazine ran a story about Yoga for mommies. The cover featured three very pregnant women with bellies exposed doing yoga. I could not imagine a more beautiful cover. I wanted to frame it. Imagine my surprise the following month when I picked up another edition of MN Parent Magazine and saw two pages of letters to the editor both showing celebration for the cover, and distaste for the cover. What could be more beautiful, I say! What do you think?
As an aside, while I was trying to find the picture above of Minnie Driver, I accidentally found this picture. It made me laugh:
When a man loves a woman...
He should probably leave some options open... Michael Bolton and Nicolette Sheridan (whose name is an homage to Minneapolis city streets) have split. The pair dated for 5 years in the 90's and then reunitied in 2005. They were engaged in 2006. The couple are asking to have their privacy respected on the matter and note that the split was amicable.
For those keeping score...
Vanessa Minnillo wants us all to know that Nick Lachey said, "I love you," first. I am going to sleep so much better tonight with that knowlege.
Call her bruiser...
Kelly Osbourne roamed the city streets on the way to a doctor appointment with a black eye. Rumor has it the Dr. was going to check the contusion out, no rumors as to why or how the black eye got there...
