Fight Night!

jordin_fightnight.jpg Heh. So I'm at Scottsdale Fashion Square today, helping a couple of my friends get ready for a wedding this afternoon (congrats Sarah and Nate!!!) and we keep seeing these really hot black dudes around. Now, Scottsdale is a wonderful place, but it is not exactly known for being a mecca of black people. So my friends and I learned way back in high school that when there are hot black men at Fashion Square, there is some sort of athletic event in town. There are stories to tell here, but my ...

Clay Aiken About to Embark on Another Six Months of Dodging Questions About His Sexual Orientation

Clay Aiken, Rosie O’Donnell and Kelli O’Donnell, Pictures, Photos Yup, that's right, he's releasing his second album of original material, On My Way Here, on May 6. So that means he'll be running around doing publicity for it, and sticking his hand in Kelly Ripa's face, etc, and everyone's gonna be all like, "So are you gay, dude?" and he's gonna be all like "How about those Knicks?" and it's all going to be very exciting and important and newsworthy, especially when Rosie O'Donnell inevitably weighs in. Also: it's been five years since Clay Aiken was on America...

Snoop Dogg Gets No Love From the Brits

snoop_gun.jpg Britain really, really doesn't want Snoop Dogg in their country. Britain's Border Agency said Friday it would appeal a court's decision to reverse an earlier ruling that had banned Snoop Dogg from entering the country after the rapper and his entourage started a fight at Heathrow Airport in April 2006. He and five others were arrested at Heathrow on charges of violent disorder for instigating a brawl in a nearby duty-free shop after their 30-person posse was denied entry into British Airways' first-class lounge because not everyone in the group was ...

Wait! There Are Consequences for Appearing on Trashy Reality TV?

Bethenny Frankel, Pictures, Photos I never watched Real Housewives of Orange County. Actually, I should amend that statement: I once watched about 10 minutes of Real Housewives of Orange County, and then made it a point to never watch it again, in much the same way one makes it a point to never mix bleach and ammonia in a closed room. But I guess one of the show's "stars," Bethenny Frankel, is dating some dude named Jason Colodne, and his hoity-toity New York-based private equity firm, Patriarch Partners, is firing his as...

I Can’t Believe the Scarlett Johansson Album Still Isn’t a Joke

Scarlett Johansson Anywhere I Lay My Head Tom Waits Album Cover Art, Pictures, Photos I keep waiting for her to go on The Today Show or something and be all like, "Ha, fooled ya! You didn't actually think I was releasing an entire fucking album of Tom Waits covers, did you? Ahhh ha ha ha ha ha! You people will fall for anything these days." Instead of doing that, though, she's releasing the album's cover art. The album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, is scheduled for a May 20 release. This cover photo was taken in Louisiana, where the album was recorded. This is so, so weird. It's a...

Still in the Clubs

lindsay_dom.jpg Leggings Lohan hit up Dominics on Friday night, and left in a car driven by Samantha Ronson. Lindsay and SamRo have been hanging out a lot lately, but Lindsay is always very careful not to be photographed with her. They leave separately, and then, when Samantha pulls the car around, Lindsay covers her face until they drive away. Smart girl. And smart of her not to drive herself. Dumb of her to be drinking, though. Check out her nails. Craziness. And what the hell is in her hand? Looks l...

Why I Didn’t Run the “Naughty” Sarah Larson Photos

sarah_naughty.jpg Because, as much as I hate the girl, she's not doing anything wrong in them. She's not even naked for chrissake. She's behaving like a run-of-the-mill twenty-something goofing around with her friends. There are 20,000 photos out there of me doing the same shit. In fact, there are plenty of photos of me out there doing worse shit. Just track down my Facebook page. Or MySpace. And it's not something I'm embarrassed about or I hide because, ya know, I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm behaving li...

Work It, Girl!

Chloe Marshall Miss Surrey in Miss England Beauty Pageant, Bikini Pictures, Photos Here's Chloe Marshall, the size 16 Miss England contestant who's been getting all sorts of attention lately, in the pageant's bikini photo call. It's a cute Cinderella story, that's for sure, but I'd be lying if I said I looked at this girl and saw physical beauty. Does that mean she is not a kind, intelligent, valuable human being? No, absolutely not. Does she really have a place in the Miss England beauty pageant? I don't think so. Like, let's get honest: there are plenty of awards to be won in this wor...

Awwwww

Thursday night's episode of The Office paid tribute to Nathan Robinson, a 15-year-old high school student who died on March 14 of "flu-related complications" and was a huge fan of the show. The episode ended with an "In Memoriam" and the clip above, of Nathan playing the show's theme song on the piano. Producers of The Office learned about the teen when the Boston Globe ran a story on him after his death. This is so sweet, and really wonderful of the folks at The Office, but what I want to know is how a 15-year-old boy dies of "flu-related complications." The Boston Globe piece is here. It says:
Nathan, a 15-year-old freshman at Newton North High School, continued to play the piano, and later the clarinet, every day until just before his death Friday of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, pneumonia, and influenza at Children's Hospital Boston.
Can someone please explain this to me? How can you not be able to treat the flu in an otherwise healthy teenager? This just makes me angry. Anyway, Nathan seemed like a kickass guy, and I'll keep his family in my prayers. /> Thursday night's episode of The Office paid tribute to Nathan Robinson, a 15-year-old high school student who died on March 14 of "flu-related complications" and was a huge fan of the show.

In Case You Missed It

Here's the New Kids on the Block announcing their reunion on the Today Show. This is insane. I cannot believe how excited people are about this. Who are these people? Seriously, guys, let go of the mid-'80s. Just let it go. The interview is actually kind of amusing, though. When they're asked what fans should expect from the New Kids this time around, Joey McIntyre responds: "The economy, healthcare and job security." Heh. Part two of the interview is after the jump. Also: I have no idea if there's any truth to this, but a video for a song called "Click Click Click" is wandering around the Internet, and it's supposedly their new single. I've included that after the jump, too. Read More /> Here's the New Kids on the Block announcing their reunion on the Today Show. This is insane. I cannot believe how excited people are about this.
