Lou Reed, spotted at SXSW, looks pretty good, considering he's a 66-year-old former junkie rocker. I mean, he looks way better than Iggy Pop and Keith Richards. And they're still hot, too, in a reptilian kind of way.
I'm more surprised by the fact that it looks like he's using a 35-mm film camera. Welcome to the 20th century, dude.
Oh come on, who hasn't financed a film just to get into the pants of one of the much-younger stars? I mean, everybody does it! (CDAN)
Oh come on, who hasn't smoked during a battle with cancer, just like Patrick Swayze? (Popbytes)
Oh come on, who hasn't flashed a little butt at the beach, like Sienna Miller? (The Rad Report)
Oh come on, who hasn't made a wax mold of their genitals like that guy on "Moment Of Truth?" (Seriously, OMG)
Oh come on, who hasn't lasered off regrettable tattoos in a language they don't speak, like Britney Spears? (Heatworld)
Come on, who hasn't been charged with a little possession of Mary-Ann. I mean, Mary-Jane. The whole cast of "Gilligan's Island" pretty much got tagged for it. (SG News)
And seriously, who hasn't spent millions just to stave off foreclosure for another sixty days, like Michael Jackson? (Real Estalker)
Miley Cyrus told a teen magazine she wants to "cast" a new boyfriend, and that she's looking through IMDB and the sports pages to find one. It sounds like exactly the sort of thing a teenager would say during an interview. I mean, if I had that kind of platform as a teenager, I'd have said all kinds of crazy stuff.
Everybody on the internet (just read the comments on ONTD) seems to take her statement at face value. Uh, it's called sarcasm. Last I checked, teenagers love it.
Known for out-of-control pranks, Steve-O is now actually in a mental hospital. And not in a funny way.
The photo agency had about twenty or thirty pictures of Charlize Theron from her "Good Morning America" appearance (she's promoting a new movie, natch) and of course I scanned through them looking for a bad one to share with you guys.
This is the worst I could do, and it basically is only bad because she looks uncannily like a wax model of herself, because she's making a slightly odd expression at this exact moment. She's mid-gesture and mid-sentence. And she still looks totally beautiful. It's so unfair!
Crap! Yesterday was World Kidney Day and I didn't even pay attention! I'm sorry, guys, I really let you down. I let my kidneys and my readers down.
There's no excuse, really: George Lopez even hosted a party to raise kidney awareness, but I didn't find out about it until today. And just because all day yesterday I was drunk and high. I mean, uh, working. I had to watch all of season 1 of "Weeds." Seriously, it was for work.
That's how I recognized kidney party attendee and actor Alexander Gould, who plays the youngest Botwin on "Weeds," and who also played a really creepy tween rapist on "Law & Order: SVU" the other week. Man, that gave me nightmares. Talented young man, really.
Point being: Take care of your kidneys.
What's amazing about "The Return Of Jezebel James," premiering tonight, is that with all the good things going for it, it still sucks. Parker Posey. Lauren Ambrose. The writer from "Gilmore Girls." Don't take my word for it. Look at the time slot: If it were worth watching, would they have put the premiere on Friday?
One of the stars of "The Hills" and "Laguna Beach" is knocked up... by an unknown man... allegedly. (Crazy Days & Nights)
The Daily Mail says stars stay thin through the time-honored tricks of starvation and drugs. (Daily Mail)
Who the hell gave Spencer Pratt an advice column? Is it "How to be a d-bag?" (iVillage)
The new Britney Video... animated, thank god. (IDLYITW)
David Archuleta has a pushy, creepy stage dad? No way! (ET Online)
The final Harry Potter book will be developed as two movies, not one. (Leaky Cauldron)
Kat Von D has burned another bridge, leaving "Orbi" Orbison for Nikki Sixx. Yes, he's bitter, and spills all kinds of secrets. Well worth reading! (Orbi's MySpace)
"Confessions Of A Shopaholic" is in production now, just as the economy is turning to mush. Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy play wastrels, I guess, developing comical problems and learning that it's great to move to New York and go deeply into debt in pursuit of Prince Charming who naturally happens to be very, very rich.
The author of the five "Shopaholic" books, meanwhile, has a new novel out, and a Facebook page! I think this is an indication that she understands today's youth. Or possibly that she has a "with it" marketing team.
The whole thing just makes me retch.
"Shutter" is all about ghosts showing up in photographs. "The Eye" is all about the paranormal showing up in eye transplants. "Cloverfield" is just another monster movie. Yawn. What we need is more of a twist on Sweeney Todd. We haven't seen that in awhile!
Oh wait, you mean we have? Damn. But what if this one is from the perspective of someone investigating the deaths? And what if there's something supernatural? Oh, wait. Then it's just another monster movie.
