Okay Jimmy Kimmel Just Regained a Tiny Bit of My Respect

As much as I hate Jimmy Kimmel -- and I can't even quite recall why anymore, but I'm certain I do -- I have to give him some props for this hilarious interview with Lauren Conrad. Just start around 4:05 and don't stop until it's over. Honestly. Don't stop until it ends. You have to watch the clip of The Hills they run at the very end. The whole thing is LOL-tastic. Here's a spoiler: Jimmy forces her to watch one of Heidi Montag's music videos. /> As much as I hate Jimmy Kimmel -- and I can't even quite recall why anymore, but I'm certain I do -- I have to give him some props for this hilarious interview with Lauren Conrad.

A Modern Romance

Heh. You gotta love this. Cameron Diaz is chatting on her cell phone while her boyfriend, model (and Aniston ex) Paul Sculfor is texting on his. I like this photo because it pretty much typifies every relationship I've been in during the past, like, five years. Like, "Yes, dear, you are very pretty. Now go entertain yourself while I talk to the people whose conversation I enjoy. I'll call for you when I need you to be pretty for me again." Hey, whatever works. ...

Red Light District Offers $500K for Josh Hartnett Sex Tape That May or May Not Exist

Rumors began this morning that Josh Hartnett had sexual relations with some chick in a hotel library, and the library's security cameras caught the whole thing in grainy black-and-white detail. This story raises a number of questions, the most pressing of which is: since when do hotels have libraries? Who the hell calls room service like "Um, yes, I'll have a cheeseburger, a bottle of Shiraz and anything Upton Sinclair wrote before 1925." WTF? At any rate, if this tape does exist, ...

Quotables

"The first political convention I ever attended was when my mom was pregnant with me in 1984 and the Republican Party nominated Ronald Reagan for a second term as President. I have been on political stages and in campaigns since before I could walk or talk. If there is one thing I have learned, it is that it is difficult to establish your identity and independence as the son or daughter of a politician. When I was 14 years old, a reporter questioned my father about me having a hypothetical abortion, had I been pregnant at 14. This reporter's question single-handedly changed my life. This story comes up in almost every profile written about me and in almost every interview. It's a rough go being the son or daughter of a politician. I have not known Bristol Palin very long, but there is a certain kinship I feel to her as I do other political daughters such as Chelsea Clinton, Jenna and Barbara Bush and Mary Cheney. You can't fully understand it unless you have lived it. So I just wanted to let it be known that I support Bristol and the entire Palin family." Meghan McCain, on her blog. On a completely related note: how hot is Meghan McCain these days? I mean, check out her tits. Are those things for real? I mean, I thought I had large natural breasts for my height and weight, but, Jesus, Meghan puts me to shame. Very impressive, dear. /> "The first political convention I ever attended was when my mom was pregnant with me in 1984 and the Republican Party nominated Ronald Reagan for a second term as President.

Christina Aguilera Has a New Perfume

But who wants to talk about the perfume? Not me. Let's talk about the way Christina Aguilera looks at the big launch of her scent, "Inspire," at Macy's in NYC. That's so much more fun. I'll start. I'm going to name some things that I find to be, let's say, "sub-par" about this particular look. If I missed any, feel free to chime in. 1) That is not a dress it is a shirt. It is something you are supposed to pair with pants. 2) Pink lipstick, Christina? 3) Are you trying to "inspir...

Even After Two Oscars, Hilary Swank Still Think She Has to Get Fat for a Role

The super-svelte Hilary Swank is reportedly going to put on between 20 and 30 pounds to play the lead in French Women Don't Get Fat, an upcoming film based on a bestselling novel. Hilary's also a producer on the film. You've already won two Oscars, Hilary. Why on earth do you think you need to get fat for a role now? We take your acting prowess seriously, sweetheart. ...

Tucker Bounds the Bunny Rabbit!

I got this email from a reader the other day:
So Tucker Bounds is on TV talking about something, and all I can see are giant bunny ears coming out of his head. It's a brilliant image, and I thank you for it!
She was, of course, referencing this post. Mr. Bounds -- John McCain's campaign spokesman -- is all over the television right now, as would be expected. And I don't really care what he's talking about in this clip, but I do think it's funny that his tie, which I'm sure looked red in the mirror, looks pink on television. It's Easter come early! I just think the guy has the funniest Republican rich-kid name ever. And, look, I grew up with a lot of Republican rich kids, so I would know. I'd list some of their names here for comparison, but my website has this teensy tiny problem of having a really good Google page rank, so I'd be in a lot of trouble if they happened to Google their own names. Which most of them probably do hourly. So just trust me when I say that Tucker Bounds really has the creme de la creme of Republican rich-kid names.

Did John McCain Vet This Woman At All?

Seriously it's like Senator McCain had one too many shots of tequila (perhaps with Bristol Palin?) and was like, "Hey, ya know what would be funny? If I made my running mate that hot governor chick from Alaska. Ya know, the one with the glasses? And the tits? Like, 'You people want a woman in the White House? Okay, fine, but at least let's make her a hot one.' L. O. L. Fuck it, let's do it. I mean, how funny would that shit be? Make it happen. NOW! And someone pour me another drink." And t...

Hi, Bristol!

Ya know, this is the problem with pulling a VP candidate out of thin fucking air. I mean, choosing a chick who touts family values after being the mayor of a town with a population under 10,000 before putting in a year and a half as the governor of a state with less than a million people: her kids don't know early enough to cover their asses. You'd better believe Meghan McCain's been keeping tabs on exactly who's taking pictures of her doing what and if they're being tagged on Facebook since...

ANTM Alums Doing Things Other Than Marrying Bradys

Congratulations to Yaya DaCosta, who has landed a lead role in the off-Broadway production of The First Breeze of Summer, starring alongside respected thespian Leslie Uggams. Yaya's performance is getting rave reviews. Yaya was the runner-up on her cycle of America's Next Top Model. The winner was Eva Pigford, who promptly changed her name to Eva Marcille and scored a couple of hosting gigs on BET as well as some small guest roles on the CW. ...
