Mischa Barton’s Look: Love It or Leave It?

Ahhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha ha! I'm totally just kidding. Leaving Chateau Marmont on Saturday, with one of those guys who's not only cool enough to carry a pack of Parliaments, but has reached that elusive pinnacle of cool where you can carry a pack of Parliaments upside-down while showing your appreciation for the original distributors of tobacco by wearing a little piece of Pocahontas around your neck.

Quotables

"They're going to talk about pigs, and they're going to talk about lipstick; they're going to talk about Paris Hilton, they're going to talk about Britney Spears. They will try to distort my record, and they will try to undermine your trust in what the Democrats intend to do." Barack Obama, discussing the Republican strategy at a campaign stop in New Hampshire. My Lord. Now both parties have invoked the names of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears in formal campaign activities. Wow. ...

Greetings from Vacation

Recreational activities I had planned to enjoy while in Seaside, Oregon: 1) Horseback riding 2) Kayaking 3) Jogging 4) Hot-tubbing 5) Laying on the beach Things I have actually done while in Seaside, Oregon: 1) Shopping This place is adorable, and it's like the boutique capital of the world. Plus: no sales tax. So I'm not actually being irresponsible by spending all this money on clothing I don't need; I'm being frugal by indulging my shopping addiction in a place with no sales tax. Like the same way it's okay to get so drunk you vomit all over your friends after they catch you in bed with their husbands, as long as you don't drive yourself home! And I am coming up on my first winter in the northwest -- it's only reasonable that I buy a ton of gorgeous, overpriced sweaters. This is totally okay. />Recreational activities I had planned to enjoy while in Seaside, Oregon: 1) Horseback riding 2) Kayaking 3) Jogging 4) Hot-tubbing 5) Laying on the beach Things I have actually done while in Seaside, Oregon: 1) Shopping This place is adorable, and it's like the boutique capital of the world.

Changing His Mind

Senator Barack Obama was supposed to appear on SNL tonight ... but he's canceled his appearance because of the severity of Hurricane Ike. And I wanna sit here and give Obama some shit about this, like, "What the fuck else do you have to do that night? You're not actually the President. Are you gonna head over to Florida and pilot the rescue 'copter?" But then I thought about it and it probably would look awful if people's houses were flooding down South and Barack Obama was wandering a...

We Now Have a Guide to Commenting

Please be sure to read it. Has it been your experiences that other bloggers will ban you/delete your comments because you disagree with them? Because seriously if I have one more person leave a comment like "What's the matter, Beet? Couldn't handle my brilliant argument that disagrees with you? When I said you were dropped on your head as a child? Was that logic just too elegant for you to handle??" when, in truth, I'm in the car and so I haven't even seen your comment yet, much less had a chance to approve it -- which I WILL do, and then you will feel exceedingly stupid -- I'm going to reach through the Internet and strangle anything I can get my hands on, which will likely be some manner of fiber optic network. I am going to start banning people JUST BECAUSE they've falsely accused me of censoring them. Read the guidelines, please. />Please be sure to read it.

Amanda Beard Wants It to Be Perfectly Clear That There Are No Hard Feelings

Oh, Amanda. You're like three weeks late with this shit. And also your face scares me. But you're better at swimming than I'll ever be at anything in my whole life, so, out of respect, I'll avoid detailing everything I find offensive about your face. But just as a hint, it's primarily the eyebrows and the mouth. I mean, it's just especially unfortunate with you because it's really the things that plastic surgery can't do much about. What I might recommend is actually shaving the inner halves of...

Gwen Stefani to Design Work Uniforms for ‘W’ Hotels

Whether this country elects Obama or McCain in November, Gwen Stefani will still be working for W. The L.A.M.B. designer has teamed up with the upscale hotel chain to design the uniforms for its female bar staff. And Gwen’s touch is instantly apparent: the black jersey dresses combine a fitted ’80s silhouette and asymmetrical styling with ’60s seam detailing and side vents. When creating the design, she knew it would have to not just look good, but be functional for active employees. “I wanted to design a super cute dress that I would be excited to have in my own c...

My (Death-Themed) Super Sweet 16

Aw, how sweet. Courtney Love threw little Frances Bean an "R.I.P. Childhood"-themed sweet sixteen party. Courtney Love spent over $323,000 on her daughter's birthday party. The Hole singer – who is the widow of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain – spared no expense in ushering Frances Bean into adulthood at her 'RIP childhood' themed 16th birthday. The event – held at Los Angeles' House of Blues restaurant – saw Frances sporting a dress previously worn by her father Cobain at a performance at Reading Festival. Courtney ...
