Nicole Richie’s Jewelry Line Hits Kitson

If you, like me, have been waiting anxiously for the opportunity to drop $70 on a Native American-style bracelet designed by a socialite -- who is, uh, native to America? -- you can finally breathe a sigh of relief! Nicole Richie's jewelry line, called House of Harlow, is now available at Kitson and online. In fairness, most of the pieces are under $70, and some are as low as $12. None really stand out as being particularly attractive to me, though. ...

Barack Obama to Do the Daily Show on Wednesday

As this election winds to a close, Barack Obama is ramping up, with an appearance on The Daily Show on Wednesday and a rumored appearance on SNL this weekend. A major-party Presidential candidate doing The Daily Show just days before the election? Dude, when Jon Stewart started out his silly little fake cable-news show, who would've thunk it? Amazing. Above, find a clip of the last time Obama appeared on The Daily Show. /> As this election winds to a close, Barack Obama is ramping up, with an appearance on The Daily Show on Wednesday and a rumored appearance on SNL this weekend.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler Dating Turtle from Entourage?

It's an HBO match made in, um, the Twilight Zone. Word on the street is that, after filming a guest spot on Entourage, Jamie-Lynn Sigler fell in real-life love with Jerry Ferrara, aka Turtle. Says a source: "One thing led to another, and it got a little more serious than a fling. Jamie married and divorced [manager A.J. DiScala] at a young age, so she's learned the lessons of love. Jerry's a good guy." This "source" is kind of dumb. Jamie did get married and divorced rather young, but that's all well in the past. Her most recent split comes after a years-lo...

You Don’t Need to Wait Another Minute to Watch 30 Rock!

If you're in the U.S., the full season premiere of 30 Rock is available now. Watch it above or click here. I love this show so much. It's been a stressful couple of weeks, to say the least, but I felt a calm fall over me the minute I heard Liz Lemon's voice. This show is my one escape for the cruel, cruel world. Thanks Mike! /> If you're in the U.S., the full season premiere of 30 Rock is available now. Watch it above or click here. I love this show so much.

Celebs Team Up Against Al Franken

Here's a group of Hollywood celebs -- albeit Z-listers -- urging Minnesotans to vote against former SNL-er Al Franken, who's running for Senate in that state (and who, based on recent polls, may actually win the damn thing). Among them is another ex-SNL-er, Victoria Jackson, best known for going totally off the deep end with insane religious fervor in the past decade or so. Honestly, whomever you support in this election, the political musings on Victoria's personal website are fucking insane. Some choice quotes: "I hope that America realizes that Obama is a communist before it's too late." "Thank you God above for giving us George W. Bush, and for giving us John McCain and Sarah Palin." "I don't want a political label, but Obama bears traits that resemble the anti-Christ and I'm scared to death that un-educated people will ignorantly vote him into office." "I wouldn't want to be Obama on Judgement Day, but I especially don't want him to be the leader of my country." "Come On America! Wake Up! How stupid can you people be?! One of the leading Islamic Extremist organizations, Hamas, endorsed Obama! HELLO!" Crazy, crazy, crazy bitch. /> Here's a group of Hollywood celebs -- albeit Z-listers -- urging Minnesotans to vote against former SNL-er Al Franken, who's running for Senate in that state (and who, based on recent polls, may actually win the damn thing).

Total. Hottie.

Update: Images removed on request. Hey, check out this totally average-looking woman! She's the new world record-holder for the most amount of money spent on plastic surgery. Sarah Burge, a 49-year-old housewife in Britain, has spent £539,500 -- or about $863K with the current conversion rates -- on plastic surgery. She's had over 100 surgeries and procedures. And get this -- her first plastic surgery? Was reconstructive surgery after she was beat up and left for dead. No, really. This woman needs to spend that money on therapy. Says Sarah: "It's addictive - you find yourself wondering what you can have done next? It's not that I'm unhappy with the way I look - I've always been confident about my appearance. That's why I want to keep my body and face as they are. All the work I've had done has been to stop the aging process." />Update: Images removed on request.

Papa Spears to Retain Conservatorship Indefinitely

Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? An LA court ruled today that Britney Spears' father will retain indefinite control of her personal and financial affairs. The standing agreement was set to expire on December 31 of this year. It's a move the singer apparently approves: A court-appointed attorney said the details had been explained to the 26-year-old and she agreed not to oppose it. Spears could petition later to have the conservatorship removed, but the court's order otherw...

Quotables

"I think what has been striking in this campaign is the the degree to which these kind of hate groups have been marginalized. That’s not who America is. That’s not who our future is. What I've found is people here don't care what color you are. What they're trying to figure out is who can deliver. It's just like the Pittsburgh Steelers: they don't care what color you are, they just want to figure out, can you make the plays?" Barack Obama, in an interview with a Pittsburgh TV st...
