Oh, George Clooney! You handsome, loveable scamp! Everyone admires and appreciates a carefree and charming bachelor! Who doesn't want you to be as unfettered in real life as your high-flying character from "Up In The Air", Ryan Bingham?
Papa Canalis, for one.
Like most people, Kody Brown's family fascinates me. And I am equally fascinated by my attitude towards the Fundamentalist Mormon family; just relax and let them do their polygamous thing.
Seriously, what is going on here?!
Chris Noth is extremely displeased with the press for giving his bad movie some very bad reviews and ensuring that there won't be a third Sex and the City movie.
Breasts are pretty magical parts of the human body. They are symbols of sexual power and fertility. They are capable of distracting. They are (strangely and unfairly) capable of detracting. They are capable of charming. They are capable of disarming. And, last but not least, they are capable of nursing wee little babies (their primary biological objective, naturally). But one thing breasts are not capable of doing on their own is disappearing.
So why do some people get so enraged when they're semi-visible?
Victoria Beckham has officially won over my cupcake-eating heart and soul.
Michael Jackson was a Christ figure. Princess Diana was a saint. And Lady Madonna? Just look at her name, for the love of Lindsay Lohan!
 When John Mayer took his Twitter account offline last week, the subsequent vacuum nearly pulled the internet into a black hole of doom. Seriously. It was a huge deal for Mayer, who is almost singlehandedly responsible for bringing Webster’s Word of the Year—overshare—into the common lexicon. And while cutting the Twitter cord was, for Mayer, like breaking the needle for a heroin addict, not all celebrities enjoy sharing the minutia of their lives in 140 characters or less.
Consider poor James Blunt. His record label recently forced the reluctant musician to open a Twitter account, and he responded by seeking the public’s pity. Contactmusic.com reports his chagrin: “The record label want me to tweet, but I find the whole thing awkward. I've never tweeted before and I'm not really good at it - I feel pretty stupid. So pity me for having to do that."
 Oh, Jon Stewart. You already do so much to make American politics palatable to your moderation-inclined neighbours that we Canadians don’t really expect you to do more. But hey, if you want to stage a rally for “The Busy Majority”, a political event designed to counteract Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck’s right-wing nut-fests, then we’ve got nothing to say but Y(eh)!
After spending years as a target of ridicule, Lindsay Lohan
has finally gotten in on the joke. This weekend’s Video Music Awards saw the
normally belligerent actress (There’s
nothing wrong with me, I’m just exercising my right to twinkle!) changing
tactics and joining host Chelsea Handler in a self-deprecating skit. In the
pre-taped segment, LiLo was seen deriding Handler for wearing an alcohol
monitoring bracelet. “You think anyone wants to work with a drunk?” she
screamed. “Take it from me—they don’t.”
Poking fun at herself is perhaps the most significant effort
Miss Lohan has made towards real public recovery—or at least, it’s the most
convincing one. Yes, Vanity Fair just ran a glowing article on the feisty starlet's changed ways, but c’mon. Are we really supposed to believe that 37 days of
court-imposed reflection is enough to turn a life around completely? I for one,
don’t buy it.
