Although hes not yet a year old, he calls himself Dreamboat Baby, and says "I read at a collegiate level and my organs are made of gold." Yeah, it's a character-blog. And it's funny. And you should read it.
I've only been to Roseland Ballroom once, to see Luna and the Cocteau Twins (yes, I'm dating myself badly here), but it's definitely one of the better places to catch a hot act. It's not so huge that you can't see what's going on, but it's big enough that you can probably get tickets. Portishead did their live album there. And Madonna and Justin Timberlake played there this week. It looks like it was an awesome show, although Daily Blabber thinks Madge is acting a little too young for her age.
I disagree: If Madonna can't act dirty into her fifties, who can? She gives me hope that in another fifty years I'll be bumping and grinding, hip to artificial hip with my robot bride.
Is nothing sacred? These damn boomers keep revealing their sordid affairs! Now it's Barbara Walters who, it turns out, was deeply involved with a senator back in the middle of the 20th Century. Craziness. Check out the details at BND.
Everybody's all agog over pictures of Amy Smart topless with tape over her nipples. (Defamer)
Pamela Anderson is having a yard sale. Or whatever. (Real Estalker)
Angelina Jolie has admitted to taking a lot of drugs in her youth. The fact that there is now evidence of this shouldn't be much of a scandal, but somehow it is. (Starpulse)
Katie Holmes wants more freedom from Tom Cruise, so she's submitting to a lot more Scientology nonsense, including "purification" sessions, which I believe consist of not eating and spending a lot of time in a sauna to sweat out the evil. (IDLYITW)
It's a girl for Jaime Lynn Spears. Woohoo. (SFGate)
The original "American Idol" co-host says the show sucks, and always has sucked, and is full of crap, and is morally filthy. (Herald Extra)
Ryan Gosling wants chickens not to be mistreated and tortured before they're slaughtered. (JustJared)
When I see rappers with fancy cars, I think to myself: What kind of insane amount of money do you have to have to afford that kind of insane expenditure? And then I realize they don't actually own those cars. The bank owns them.
Watch the following segment on The CW's "news" program - starting at about 2:10, the anchor accompanies a repo man to Lil' Kim's house to let her know she's four months behind in payments on her Bentley. That's a car that cost at least a hundred grand, probably more, and Lil' Kim can't make payments on it.
If you can't afford to pay cash for it, you can't afford a luxury car.
This isn't the same Lil' Mama we saw in "Lip Gloss" - she's taking an angry, serious tone to talk about neglectful mothers, pregnant teens, and violent boyfriends. I'm not seeing this one taking off as a hit the way that first single did, but it should definitely build her credibility as a real artist and not a 1-hit wonder.
Gwyneth Paltrow: What a smile! And such cute earrings! Shame about the resemblance to Ann Coulter, though.
Rule one of dressing like an adult male: Paisley goes with nothing.
Actually it is kind of a neat detail on a fantastic suit. If it weren't, you know, paisley, it could be really cool.
Blender has a slideshow of the most important bling in the history of blingy blingingness.
But seriously, isn't the word "bling" dead by now? Don't we say "shine" or "floss" or something? Whatever. Click through to see who wears an enormous eagle on his wrist. Seems to me it would just get in the way and/or get stolen, but what do I know about how to dress?
Sure, she's got rivals and wannabes and teammates, but is Miley going to be replaced by Selena Gomez? No, not as such. Disney promotes dozens of fresh-faced cuties every year. Some of them make it in showbiz, some don't, and some become superstars. As long as Miley can sell tickets, Disney's going to back her - although she might move over to the more grownup side of the business later. Miramax, anyone?
Meanwhile, if you want to see Miley in concert even after the Vanity Fair shoot (great place to pick up chicks, I guess), there's a contest: Shoot a photo of yourself and some radio station might give you tickets. Participants have to be 18 and up - I guess it's going to be parents or older siblings of fans? I hope a photo of someone's grandma wins. That'd be high-larious.
Now, can Selena make it as a star on a par with Miley? Sure! Why not? She's already on video with CosmoGirl!
