Exercises in Pointlessness: Maxim Releases Hot 100 of 2008

Heading up this year's list: America Ferrera! And Chelsea Clinton is #2! And I just barely snuck in there at the #3 spot! No, I'm kidding. I'm actually at #15. Whatever. The real #1 is supermodel Marisa Miller, who, as you can tell by this photo, is valuable primarily for the work she's done in the field of neuroplasticity, aiming to slow the degenerative process of Alzheimer's patients LOL. After I wrote that, I read the little blurb the Maxim guys wrote about Marisa. It includes this quo...

Ouuuuuuuuuuuch!

An except from Glamour's interview with cover girl Jessica Simpson, on newsstands now: "What he's done for me is irreplaceable," Simpson says about her newfound confidence. Wearing a printed, off-the-shoulder peasant dress and stacked heels, she settles into a booth at her favorite Dallas bistro. (Romo is off playing golf but shows up at the end of the interview to greet her with a big purple and green stuffed animal. Jessica is clearly delighted.) It's obvious that the down-home comforts ...

Diddy: Cheating on Ciroc?

You know, I'd hate to endorse anything as a celebrity. Because then, if you're caught using anything even remotely resembling a competitor of that product, it ends up in Page Six. SEAN Combs has been Ciroc vodka's celebrity endorser since last year, but it's not always his drink. During a party at club Home the other night, the hip-hop mogul had waitresses set up a bottle of the vodka at his table along with mixers. He even had a full glass of Ciroc sitting in front of him. "He sat there ...

Quotables

"I was a little surprised by her affair with the married man. Barbara is a pretty smart cookie, how did that happen? I didn't think intelligent women did that." Christie Brinkley, to The Insider, regarding Barbara Walters' admitted affair with married senator Edward Brooke. Christie, you'll recall, has been on the wrong side of marital infidelity in the recent past. What do you guys think? Does intelligence have anything to do with a woman's willingness to sleep with a married man? Or to cheat in a committed relationship? Additionally...

Um, I Just Found Some More Pictures of Greg Plitt I’d Like to Share

Coming up next week on Work Out ... Greg hooks up with hooker Trainer Renessa, and also he may be an alcoholic! Gasp! Oh, please, please, please let him be an alcoholic! Then I can get him wasted and make him marry me! And by "marry" I of course mean "have sex with." Okay, sorry, I'll get over this crush soon enough and write about things that other people care about, I promise. I'm just very "Crushville, Population: Me" right now. I hope the show comes up with some reason to pu...

Okay, I’m Officially Obsessed with Work Out

I've been watching the previews for this show forever, but I never actually considered watching it. But my (fabulous!) trainer always talks about it. Like, we do ten minutes of abs, ten minutes of upper body, ten minutes of lower body, and then ten minutes of Work Out recap. So I finally decided to tell my DVR to record it, and have been spending the evening getting all caught up. And it's amazing. It's like The Hills but with grown-ups with amazing bodies. So much drama! So many six-packs! And l...
