Laura Bell Bundy Nominated for Tony

2007-05-15T15:45:00.000-05:00

Lexington's hometown gal, LBB, was nominated for a Tony Award today. If anything is cause for Ketty to come out of retirement, it's this...Laura's the latest Kentucky talent to make it big in the entertainment community.

And now Perez will be just the latest to see what everyone from home has known is inevitable - Laura Bell is officially a star. Besides being an AMAZING talent (the girl can SING), more importantly, she's a sweet, genuine gal who deserves all this success.

Congratulations to Laura and to her entire family! We called this Tony nom at Christmas!

Cat Power

2006-07-26T14:18:00.000-05:00

Can I just say that I officially have such a girl crush on Cat Power?

Last night's show at Hiro - how jealous was I of the crew that got to sit on-stage, right there with her? I loved the orchestra behind her at the Town Hall shows, but her all by herself this time up on the simple stage...so cool. Loved it.
Thanks to Bao, via Brooklyn Vegan, for the pix.

On a separate note...how crazy is this story? Mean Girls out there, indeed.

2005-12-28T13:58:00.000-05:00

Yay - I'm back in my favorite red state, eating shrimp and grits, and kicking myself in the butt for just not caring about the blog for months and months and seasons and seasons.
I think I just totally OD-ed on celebrity stuff over the summer (totally agree with Uncle Grambo that A) certain sites have jumped the shark and B) certain celeb bloggers are totally over-rated). And then, I became so busy at work that on the random times that I could have updated, it depressed me because I hadn't been keeping up with it...just for myself.

On a related Grambo note, I have to say that Trent looks almost exactly like a guy I met backstage at Madonna's show at the Roxy who kept trying to talk to me, but who I kept running away from. A) I couldn't really understand him because he had a thick accent and B) I was almost as out of place as he was and was playing that lame little game where you don't want to be associated with someone because they might be the teensiest more uncool than you...thus bringing down your own cool quiotient (and god knows, I don't need any help). BUT, if Trent's got an accent, it was sooo him (assuming everyone would've heard about it by now, though).

So, I'm home now, getting fat on cheesecake, wearing my Kentucky sweats, and going to Hamburgler Pavilion with all the conservative Christians to watch the Chronic (what) cles of Narnia. Getting ready to head to Walgreen's to pick up the new Us with Nick on the cover telling his side of the story. Inquiring minds want to know - how many times did Ms. Jessica Slutson cheat on him and how much will he be able to get from her? Hope he can get at least $20 mil.

Madonnaliciousness

2005-11-17T16:45:00.000-05:00

As if the introduction to Best Friend Niiiiick! wasn't enough, I'm gonna double your pleasure with links all around to MADONNA! This was the most fun time I've had in awhile....faithful readers of KettyKet know that I was at Misshapes, the Roxy and her apartment a few weeks ago. But why, you ask?

So that we could get the rockin footage for tonight's Primetime, of course! Madonna talks in detail about her horse accident, but more importantly, she borrows one of our cameras to give us home video of A Day in Madonna's Fabulous Life (Take that VH1's 'Fabulous Life Of' - Pounce)! I mean, we want to hear about the horse accident, but it's the unique look at what it takes to be Madge that we really want to see, right?

Seriously, we get cute footage of Rocco and Lola, behind-the-scenes "Disco" Madonna getting ready for a night out with the Roxy boys, and the women who help Madonna run her business & life.
And then...if that wasn't enough, there's an hour of the train wreck that we lovingly refer to as Anna Nicole right after that. Not to be a shameless plugger, but tonight's Primetime (starting at 9pm) is gonna be cool. (And I promise, that's the last time I talk about that for awhile-I didn't even do it with Prussian Blue).

Best Friend NiiiiiiiCK!

2005-11-17T16:32:00.000-05:00

Well, some of you alert little readers (i.e. my boyfriend) noticed the mystery post (sigh. nice to know that family members who have known me for 24 years weren't quite so quick to the punch)...
But you should know - since I've been MIA for way too long, Best Friend Niiiiick! (aka Mrs. X) will now be making regular contributions to my sorry little site. He is funny. He is also married which explains why many of his postings might revolve around Martha "Stuart" Stewart, mowing the lawn, and the virtues of going to bed no later than 10pm.

Who died and made Martha Stuart Queen?

2005-11-15T13:40:00.000-05:00

Did any one watch Martha Stuart's show last night? Good. Me neither. It appears that no one is watching Martha's show. So since none of us are watching I figured now would be a perfect time to give you all an update of what has not happened on Martha's show.

Episode 1- ESCAPE FROM CAMP CUPCAKE- After freshly being released from jail, Martha teaches her viewers how even the most innocuous objects may be transformed into a flesh shredding shiv. While sharpening the edge of a KFC acquired Spork, Martha flashes back to her last days inside the hideous camp cupcake.

Martha, in jail, is seen fermenting a fruity prison wine from drain cleaner and cat urine. She is approached by the warden who requests she share the profits from her "distillery." Martha, being the selfish bitch she is, refuses to allow any non-capital contributing bitches in her limited partnership. The warden, upset, reaches for her billy club, but Martha is quicker and pulls from her scarf a kitting pin which she then uses to jab the warden over ten times quickly. She wipes from her hands all the blood and then resumes the inmates in a game of bridge-rumi. She is never accused of the crime and her moonshining business continues.

By the end of the show, Martha shows the viewers what parts of the body are most vulnerable to a plastic shiv. She points to the kidnies and throat as excellent points to stun an enemy in its tracks. She then takes questions from the audience. The first question is how many times should the enemy be stabbed. With an evil but courteous grin she replies "10."

Episode 2- LIFE ON THE OUTSIDE. The show begins with Martha entertaining a live studio audience while she is inhaling lines of cocaine. She talks quickly and violently, "I dont know why my daughter is such a bitch. I dont know maybe its because she's got syphillis. Why cant she let me be free. Im free too like a bird, like a bird, like a bird." Martha falls asleep. The producers of the show try to awake her. After an awkward 10 minutes of dead time she arises with a bloody nose and an idea... Pestacio Pancakes. She quickly runs to the kitchen where she wips out Pestacio pancakes in the remaining time. The studio audience is jubilant. Martha reins supreme. And the street value of cocaine is at an all time high.

Episode 3- Martha gets fired for spending all day writing short little blurbs about her failed show. Oh wait that's me.

Laguna Update

2005-10-26T12:08:00.000-05:00

So...compliments of the Seattle Times (and my fave Laguna/Kristin junkie, Adam - I'm gonna say again, I don't think she's that special) here's a little Laguna update....

Alex M., Jason, Lauren ("LC") and Dieter were in Seattle in support of Dieter's charity, Running Home 4 Teens (rh4t.com), which he founded last year to raise awareness for teenagers suffering from depression and substance abuse after battling depression himself over his breakup with Jessica. Meantime, Stephen and Kristin also happened to be in town on Saturday night to host a foam party, which I didn't realize actually existed outside of episodes of "Elimidate," but anyway.

Since UW played USC on Saturday, I used the opportunity to bring up the subject of Matt Leinart when I met Kristin at the Grand Hyatt that evening. They dated for a couple of months at the beginning of "Laguna's" second season.

"He saw me on the show ... and called me out of nowhere one day," Kristin said. "I had no idea who he was, so I looked up his picture on the USC Web site, but it was a really bad picture, so I was like, 'Ew! I'm not calling him back!' " (I looked up his picture, too, and she's right — he looked kind of like Bob Guiney from "The Bachelor." Not hot.)

Kristin, who lives in Los Angeles and is pursuing acting, arrived hand-in-hand with Brody Jenner, 22, who starred in the short-lived Fox reality series "Princes of Malibu." He just bought her a French bulldog puppy, which she named Bentley.

By the way, Kristin and Steph-en are so not getting back together. Dun-zo.

But I'm over it, because I'm pretty sure Lauren and Jason are the new Kristin and Stephen. Yes, they are totally dating, and he lo-o-oves her. He told me so as we were sitting outside Joeys Saturday night — he was smoking Parliament Lights and I was wearing his black fleece hoodie because it was cold and he offered. I know what you're thinking: I can't believe Pam was wearing fleece.

Here's what I was thinking: I can't believe Jason knows more than three words. I asked him why he never talks on the show. (Sample dialogue: "Wow." "What?" "Nothing.")

"It was just the situations they put me in. They [MTV] set you up and they'll be like, 'Listen, you're going to go to this place and talk about this.' It makes me really uncomfortable," he said.

That whole breakup scene with Jessica? Fake.

"I broke up with Jessica three or four weeks before that," Jason said. "I wasn't going to call her and break up with her on camera for real."

He doesn't talk to Jessica anymore and he said he doesn't care for Alex M. much either. (I love Alex M. I want her to be my new best friend.) Jason and Jessica dated for less than two months; Jason and Alex M. dated for "like a minute," she says. "It was really fast."

"Jason's like the guy who you get a little buzz on and then you kiss him," Alex M. said. "I'm telling you, everyone has kissed Jason." (Later, I asked Kristin if she was the only girl in Laguna who hadn't kissed Jason. "I've kissed him!" she laughed. "But that's it.")

Jessica, meanwhile, is going to community college in Laguna and recently started hanging out with Dieter again. "She comes up [to Los Angeles] and I've been going back to Laguna a lot," Dieter said. "I love the girl and I'll always love her. She knows that." As for a reunion between the couple, he said, "I dunno."

• Alex H. is moving in with Alex M. (and out of Kristin's place — scandalous!) in Los Angeles. Alex M. recently set her up with a guy in a band and they are now dating.

• Casey's stepdad invented the frozen burrito and she lives in the old Gucci mansion in Laguna, according to Alex M. "MTV kind of forced me to be friends with her," she said.

• Alex M. is recording an album. So is Talan.

• Jason, Stephen and Dieter live together in Los Angeles in a 16th floor high-rise. Jason and Stephen are taking acting classes; Dieter is interning at a talent agency. None of them cleans the apartment. "You walk in there and you don't even see the floor," Jason said.

• Kristin just scored a small role in an upcoming Al Pacino movie called "88 Minutes." She doesn't know what the part is, and she didn't have to audition.

• Stephen is currently single and looking. He wants someone who is mature, has a good personality, loves to have fun and "can keep up." And by the way, he never hooked up with Paris Hilton.

2005-10-25T00:09:00.001-05:00

Ok. Um. Ew. Not to be a bitch, but Jessica's one so she's due a little karmic come-uppence. According to my "In Touch," Jess dear, gaucho pants are out, silver wrap belts could only look good on Barberella, and smooshed-in boobs don't look good on anyone, least of all a Barbie clone like you. Nick, on the other hand, I love how you keep it real...

"We Are The World" momma, Angelina Jolie takes her kiddos, Maddox and Zahara, out shopping in NYC before attending the WorldWide Orphan Foundation's benefit where she shows how awesome she looks from ooh-la-la (boobage), every angle. (although really, ya'll, do we think that's a preggers bump as some tabloids claim?) sigh...to have a baby bump that small...

And then, look who re-appears...brother & fave smoocher, James Haven, looking his usual um...okay-let's-just-say-it, freaky self. But kudos to him for accompanying her to & honoring the good cause. He's there for the orphans, you know.

Finally, ya'll, am I like the only person sick of the tabs showing off this pic of the skinn(ier) Brit? Okay, yes, great, she's getting thin again, but HELLO - she's still got the over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder action going on...and God, SOMEONE hire that girl a stylist. What kind of kid wants their mom walking around looking like a cheap Vegas call girl in that leopard print shirt? For reals. Or at least give her a feather boa to accessorize.

Madonna

2005-10-23T11:49:00.000-05:00

so wow...ya'll, the pictures speak for themselves. Last night was just pure fucking joy (except for the 5 minutes when I thought I would get myself killed at Misshapes when Madonna walked in-it was complete mass hysteria - no joke - a war zone couldn't have been more dangerously psycho). So...Misshapes was raw and the Roxy was real in the old-school way. So surreal to look out on all the disco balls, the fabulous Roxy boys, and Madonna onstage dancing like it was 1983. The first pix are Madge with Stuart at Misshapes (aka the Tinderbox), the second group are from Le Roxy. God, I love that woman...

JenVin Lovin' UPDATE

2005-10-14T17:55:00.000-05:00

A source tells KettyKet that Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston were spotted at Gibson's Steakhouse in Chicago LAST NIGHT openly smooching, holding hands, flirting (duh), AND busted smoking (in the non-smoking section no less). After the year she's had, we can forgive Jen that little sin, can't we?

Laguna Beach...Only Partly Fake (whew)

2005-10-06T16:02:00.000-05:00

For those of you who haven't forgotten me or are just here because of the Lindsay Lohan photos or who googled "Laguna Beach," my favorite Laguna Beach whore, Adam, sent an update on what's been going on with that show...which...if I've been too busy/disillusioned to post on my blog, you can bet I haven't really been watching all season...but nevertheless, I give you LB gossip - for the kids....

Courtney and I had dinner with one of the "writers" of MTV's Laguna Beach last night. He said that the show is real but they
definitely set up situations. Big surprise.

As most of you remember last week the gang went to Cabo. I know that some of us thought it was weird that everyone was ignoring Jessica and hanging with Alex M. Here is some background. Before Cabo they showed Jessica meeting Jason at the golf course. They hung out all day and later that night they went to a party at Talan's house. Talan was trying to pull a fast one and not invite the MTV producers to the
party. At the party (while Jason is supposedly still dating Alex M) one of Alex M's friends walked in on Jessica giving Jason h**d in the bathroom. The friend that walked in immed iately called Alex M and tell her. Alex M and Taylor jump into Taylor's car to go kick Jessica's ass but get pulled over by the cops. Instead of playing it cool Taylor throws the fake id she has in her wallet into the back seat.

The cops get suspicious and ask her what it was, do a search of the car, find the fake id, interrogate Alex M and get her to admit she has a fake id too. Cuff both of them and take them down to the station whereMTV has to bail them out. So in one night Alex M found out that her boyfriend is a cheater and gets arrested.
The next day Kristen and her sidekick (I think t hat her name is Alex too?) anyway, they ask Jessica if she hooked with Jason and she totally denies everything. They later find out that she lied and that's why they are upset with her in Cabo.

LC and Jason are currently f'ing. Apparently Jason is a total moron (another big surprise) but he gets any girl super sprung. He failed out of senior year of high school and is not working.

LC and Kristin are not enemies but also not bff. They are both trying to become famous so they are hanging in LA.

Deter is a camera whore. Anytime the producers put together a scene he tries to tag along to get face time.

MTV is hated around Laguna Beach. People that are not on the show are always throwing beer cans and stuff at the cameras.

MTV is currently are working on a spin off for next season with different characters.

Kristin is attending USC but has not rushed.

Kenny Chesney: Broken Wiener or Wiener that just likes other Wieners

2005-09-16T14:50:00.000-05:00

Renee Zellweger, who has filed for an annulment from husband Kenny Chesney after just four months of marriage, says the couple "hope to experience this transition as privately as
possible."
In court papers filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, the Oscar-winning actress listed "fraud" as the reason for the breakup with the country music star.
The term was "simply legal language and not a refection of Kenny's character," Zellweger said in a statement Friday. "I would personally be very grateful for your support in refraining from drawing derogatory, hurtful, sensationalized or untrue conclusions," she said. "We hope to experience this transition as privately as possible." (AP)

For dissolution of marriage or legal separation in California, there are only two legal grounds. The first is "irreconcilable differences," meaning the marriage cannot be saved. The other reason is "incurable insanity" which, unlike irreconcilable differences, must be proven.
If you are seeking a nullity of marriage, you will need to prove in a court hearing that your marriage satisfies one of the grounds listed below. These must have applied at the time you and your spouse married:
Fraud: fraud means deception regarding a significant matter that led to the marriage and continued until the breakup.

Mos Def: Mos Hurtin?

2005-09-15T15:12:00.000-05:00

So, I'm hearing that hottie actor/rapper Mos Def was allegedly escorted out of his New York City hotel last night after a fight with his latest wife...of 4 weeks. This was the second night in a row that Mos and the wife had a big argument - earlier in the week, he reduced her to tears as they walked through the lobby. Don't know if a police report exists, but might be worth looking into...

YA'LL!

2005-09-09T12:40:00.000-05:00

It makes me so happy to see your comments -thanks!- I miss having the time to update this blog - I feel like it made me happier...

so yikes, yeah, been MIA because I moved to Park Slope, had a brief vacation in Maine, and just feel like that between the hurricane and various other little projects, like weddings, drama with friends, attending Ozzfest (don't ask) time's gone by....BUT - will be back soon -

Hopefully with some little nuggets of George Clooney in Italy, among other things. Trying to think if there were any fun celeb spottings recently - but not much - just Ethan Hawke sweatily strutting down the street with his adorable dog not too long ago (and yeah, yours truly was lame enough to follow him as he walked into his digs at the Chelsea Hotel - but hey- we were going the same way)....

They Got What They Deserved

2005-08-24T09:11:00.000-05:00

A housekeeper charged with looting the homes of Manhattan's rich and famous claimed she targeted Robert De Niro's wife because she was a bad employer, according to court documents made public Tuesday."I didn't steal from Isabella Rossellini because she treated me well. I only stole from people who didn't treat me with respect," Lucyna Turyk-Wawrynowicz said, according to the court documents.

WHAT?! For publicity, Victoria Gotti MADE UP that she had breast cancer?! Oh, that is so low.

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie took Maddox to see a dinosaur exhibit in Canada over the weekend. Brad's loving playing daddy.

I'm getting ready to move to Park Slope this weekend. Yay? Complicated, but should be fun...and the people living there now might leave their turntable....Momo, G-Love, and Ketty will become spin doctors extraordinaire - especially if Varmus is around, too.

2005-08-23T08:05:00.000-05:00

A couple of themes for the day: 1) Celebrities like to eat junk food... Bennifer II hit up Wendy's - note Ben's Biggie cup.
(Like Marie Antoinette eating cake while Paris burned, Jen eats fries while her ex, Michael Vartan, frantically fears for his job - support her spurned ex here)

while Nicole preferred the nachos of Baja Fresh-

Is the boyfriend making Mary Kate healthier?

She stops by Whole Foods with the honey to get a little honey...(And note how she tries to pull off an Ashley look today with the classic Oxford shirt.)

Like Brit and Nic, Mischa loves the coffee-to-go cups. And looky, cowboy boots for the Keds girl!

2) Celebrities, no matter how good a run they've been having (like Jessica Simpson), still like to fug it up. What's UP with this saggy number in London, Jess?

Jealous of the attention Jessica's been getting lately, Ashlee changes her hairstyle (yet again) and sports a short skirt, hoping that'll get people talking about her again.

On the baby beat, Angelina showed of Mad and Zahara on the NYC set of "The Good Shephard..."

While Julia Roberts and hubby, Danny, loaded up their precious babes for a long flight.

Nicole Richie tries to emulate Jackie O with the '60s print and oversize sunglasses (and totes her omnipresent Starbucks cup). Meanwhile, she and DJ AM have apparently recovered from last week's tiff at club LAX.

We know that the paparazzi harass the celebs (most recently Scarlett's accident at Disneyland) and it's terrible for people like Reese Witherspoon with her kids - she shouldn't be game, but honestly, where would Nicole or Paris be without the help of the paparazzi? It's a business and some just love to feed off it...

Sightings: Things are apparently getting better between Jude and Sienna - she was recently snapped in a London wax store, having just had the procedure done (would post the pix, but can't get them up right now)...

Whose booty am I?

Charlize Theron, looking almost as good in a bikini post "Monster" as she did before gaining 30 pounds and an Oscar. Incidentally, I hear she's got an upcoming Marie Claire cover soon.

Time catches up with Kanye.

2005-08-18T19:46:00.000-05:00

Courtney Love ordered into rehab. For any of ya'll who saw her drunkenly/stoned claiming to be sober at Pamela Anderson's Comedy Central Roast, this news should come as no surprise.

Gasp! Could it be?! Lindsay actually looks like a healthy normal American girl here (making Nicole look a little like an anorexic smurf) in this photo taken at the grand opening of the LAX club. Maybe it's just me, but I had flashbacks of "Less than Zero" with all the well-dressed, financially secure, Young Hollywood jet-setters on the scene...From Mischa Barton and Jessica Alba to Lukas Haas to Pink and Corey to Leelee and Lindsay's mop-haired friend, it looks like a hard partying night for the B-listers.

This pic of Nicole and DJ AM shows the fight that today's Rush & Molloy (half-way down the page) alleges they were having the night of the party

Pre-bash, Lindsay grabbed pizza with Bruce and Demi's lighter-looking daughter, Rumer Willis, then headed out to dinner with Nicole Richie and les amis.

But really, what fun are party pictures if you don't show Tara Reid? Apparently celebrating her new disaster of a show Taradise, Tara hit the clubs of London the other night.

Someone else recovering from too much partying: Eminem in Rehab for Sleeping Pill Addiction

I know you've been on pins and needles waiting for this interview to happen: Marc Cohn (Elizabeth Vargas hubby and songwriter of the 1990s hit "Walking in Memphis" ) describes the car-jacking that left him with a bullet in his skull.

More on the good ole suburban Coach Snoop.

2005-08-18T19:37:00.000-05:00

Jared Leto has played that mysterious Jordan Catalano role for over 10 years, but damn, with that body, it's still working on me...me and every over-rated teen dream of the moment.

And on the other end of the spectrum, had to post this - Dean's Planet via JJB had shots of Alyssa Milano's Happy Trail.

Jimmy Fallon - A Lover & A Fighter

2005-08-16T10:16:00.000-05:00

So, I'm hearing that Jimmy Fallon recently got into a brawl at New York bar, Whiskey River. For some reason, he really likes those Murray Hill 'hotspots.' The last time I ventured out there - a year and a half ago - he was watching NCAA bball at the Black Bear Lodge.

But why, you ask, did Jimmy allegedly engage in fisticuffs? He was hitting on a beautiful (slightly drunk) blonde, making out, all that good stuff, when he allegedly mentioned his girlfriend. Well, feisty blonde got upset that he was cheating on the girlfriend & hitting on her and slapped him, at which point, Jimmy got pissed. The drama escalated, bar management was called, and Jimmy was allegedly kicked out of the dive bar. Now, I'm all for not letting your man cheat, but c'mon, drunk blonde - it would've been a fun one night stand. And you could've officially answered the whole Fallon is he straight/is he gay question. Live and let live.
Another "Eye Spy with my little Eye" - Joe Lieberman and wife, Hadassah, stuck at the Charlotte, NC airport due to weather on Sunday. He must've got a mad burst of "Joe-mentum" & caught another ride home, because while the other people on his scheduled 3:30pm flight to New York were forced to overnight in Charlotte, he was outta the airport by 4pm.

Finally...I knew I should've left for that celebrity magazine. sigh.

Courtney Love: So Busted

2005-08-10T17:08:00.000-05:00

Courtney Love's reportedly in trouble with the law again. People magazine says authorities in Los Angeles say she's failed a drug test and violated her probation. The magazine says a judge issued a bench warrant for Love, ordering her to return to court August 19th for a review of her rehab report. People says the judge also threatened Love's attorney to do "something to solve Love's problem, or we're going to give her a year" in prison. Just Sunday night, Love told reporters she's been clean and sober for a year. A prosecutor says Love failed a drug test when she was hospitalized in July after fainting during a party in Hollywood.

Peter

2005-08-08T21:25:00.000-05:00

He was the patriarch of ABC News and he will be missed.
ABC will be airing a 2 hour special on Peter Jennings on Wednesday night with memories from everyone from his sister to Lauren Bacall.

2005-08-04T21:57:00.000-05:00

So, first up...Adam writes in to let me know that Real World Austiners, Danny and Melinda were spotted in Salem, NH, of all places, buying bedding and house stuff because apparently, they're MOVING IN TOGETHER. In Salem? Can anyone think why they'd go there?

All of my picture fonts are a little out-of-whack, hence the center of the page shots for all of these...but below Britney goes shopping for some fresh summer flowers, still trying to be a MILF all the way, showing off the leg, the bump, and the sexy summer boots.
Side note: I know it's trendy, but jesus, it's like the Uggs in summer - I know from experience that your feet get all sweaty and gross in the cowboy boots...it's 95 degrees...switch to flip-flops, Brit.

Hugh Grant proves what an Englishman he is - hitting the beach, but covering up from head to toe to maintain the yummy pasty-white skin.
Kate Hudson, I love you. But I don't understand why you went from such a hot red-carpet premiere dress to the 1980's fug disaster at The Skeleton Key afterparty. I know that 80's is all retro-cool right now, but this number should've been left in the closet.
A friend notes: Is Jessica Simpson smelling her hand to see if there's any Knoxville on there....But no,, she's just blowing kisses to the fans outside Letterman.
Separately, did ya'll catch her on Letterman last night? Sometimes I like Jessica - other times, she's just way too much of a drag queen child star, performing her routine. She's got no soul - it was seriously so painful trying to watch her dance sexy - she was jerking all over the place, like some 15 year old girl trying to show that she's got boobs. I kept wanting them to bring up one of her backup dancers to show her how to really make the audience want you.

Lee Iacocca and Snoop appear in Chrysler Group ads:
The 80-year-old Iacocca and Snoop Dogg, who made his name rapping about sex and marijuana, appear as golf buddies in the ad, scheduled to begin airing Saturday. Snoop Dogg wears an argyle sweater vest, while Iacocca dons a pastel plaid hat.

At the end of the TV spot, Snoop Dogg says: "If the ride is more fly, then you must buy." Iacocca responds: "That's what I hear."

And finally, I'm really enjoying Junk Feud this week. From the Hohan nose pix to the study of the undies, it's good stuff...

2005-08-04T10:04:00.000-05:00

Just a few little links today. Got Thai with the semi-sugadaddy and his brother last night. Sort of awkward, because the brother has been my friend since I was 10. And I feel weird hanging out with his BROTHER! It's uncomfortable, ya know. The bro just moved to the city this week, so I popped by the new apt with Heineken last night to do the whole 'welcome-to-the-city, let's unpack' thing- The fact that I'm hanging out with his brother never came up although for me there was an awkward, okay, good night moment right before we went to bed. No huge slumber party -yet. I'd been ready to turn into a pumpkin as soon as the bro got here and call the whole thing off with SD. We'll see...

Anyway - it's official if the NY Times says so...Mariah's got the song of summer. I wanna make a list of my top 10 summer songs ever - was thinking about that on the way to the subway this morning b/c Ben Harper came on my Ipod. Not really a song of summer, but made me think of the summer of '97 when he was all I ever listened to.

Umm...Gisele likes to clean - not sure why this made the papers, but there it is..
For at least another couple of years til the movie career doesn't quite work out, Jennifer Aniston is determined to forget that "Friends" ever existed in her life.
Melissa Etheridge is thinking about having a baby with her partner, Tammy Lynn Michaels.
Martha Stewart will spend 3 extra weeks under house arrest for repeatedly violating conditions of her parole - staying out late, going to yoga, and motoring around the property on a tractor. Crazy Martha.
And I'm gonna post this because someone sent it to me - thanks! - although it breaks my heart. Eddie Murphy bro and Chappelle Show cast member Charlie Murphy says the show's officially over.

Lotsa Laguna Beach Gossip: shocker...the show's not REAL?!

So, this little Laguna Beach gem is making the email rounds...if ya'll have seen it, apologies - I've been mostly away from the Internet for awhile - but not email...so I'm glad this it made its way to me.

"A buddy of Nick's is studying with Trey from Laguna and we were chillin with him the whole day yesterday.

1) Stephen's parents have practically disowned him after the show. They were not that cool to begin with and the dad couldn't deal with all the attention from his friends from work. If you notice they don't even pick up Stephen from the airport when he goes back for Christmas break, he takes a taxi.

2) Lo is the biggest slut on the show. Seriously, the reason no one really goes after her is because she took it from everybody her first few years. On the show she acts like a good girl because she is very afraid of her folks and that's the deal she cut with MTV. But apparently she is the dirtiest, and does mad coke now from what Tre says (I told you there was something there!).

3) That dude Matt that Kristen is "dating" is Matt Leinart, USC quarterback. He called her up after the first season and invited her up to watch a game of his. Apparently he digs her, but that is just the word from Laguna, I'm sure his SC buddies would tell it differently

4) Maxim is offering all the Laguna girls half a million each to pose for their magazine. That would be awesome by the way

5) Tre used to date Kristen and in fact that's how she got to know Stephen! Tre dated her up until the beginning of his junior year I guess. He said you never really see them interact in the first season and when you do it is awkward. Tre didn't let to get to him b/c he's a cool dude (which he is actually) and didn't want to let a girl get in the way of his friendship.

I think that's the good stuff. Anyway, these guys are like celebrities now, especially with 16 yr old girls which he said is the hardest thing. The reason why Kristen is such a bitch to Stephen now is he got so much play in SF, basically everywhere he went as he commanded it. Even like chicks in their thirties apparently. Strangely enough though the dude still likes Kristen, apparently he can't really get over her."

So now Jamie Lynn, I know you've probably got younger sister syndrome, thinking that big sis, Brit Brit is the coolest and that you wanna be her in every way, but slow down, little one. I don't wanna believe what Us Weekly reported this week - that 14-year-old you was spotted smoking - around pregnant Britney, no less! So if the fear of giving pregnant Brit a baby with lung problems wasn't enough to halt your bad habits (isn't it enough that it's obviously already going to be a little mentally challenged), maybe this will: Cigarette Smoke Could Pack on Pounds for Teens.

Ask Kelly Osbourne - no one likes their starlets fat.
