It's difficult to write today. I think the Jennifer Hudson story is such a senseless tragedy. But the Beet goes on...Â
Being in a melancholy and somewhat depressed state of mind, I immediately thought of Madonna's face. And her appearance continues to be hellacious. But hey...she's been on tour, she's going through a divorce, lives on a treadmill and she's fifty. She's entitled to look haggard. I am, however, frequently bemused by Madge's staged and purpose-driven appearances. Check out Lourde...
I'm peace-ing out early today, kids. I have two of my awesome and amazing friends from LA in town, and I'm so excited to show them around my adopted hometown of Seattle.
I don't want you guys to get bored in my absence, so here are some statements whose veracity you seem to enjoy debating:
1) Barack Obama is a shoe-in for this election at this point.
2) Anyone who thinks gay people shouldn't be allowed to enter into same-sex marriages is actively practicing hatred.
3) It is in Raven-Symone's best interest to lose weight.
4) Kate Gosselin is a bad person.
5) Miley Cyrus is excessively sexual.
Go. />I'm peace-ing out early today, kids. I have two of my awesome and amazing friends from LA in town, and I'm so excited to show them around my adopted hometown of Seattle.

Sincere condolences go out to the Hudson family....

"Hearst Corporation, which my family owns, continues to host parties even as it folds magazines like CosmoGirl. It seems excessive ... At least Hearst recently cancelled the company Christmas bash. It's time to work through this crisis, not party through it."

The latest to design a line of women's clothing?
David Arquette and Ben Harper, whose new line, Propr, will feature "cuffed trousers cut out of cool chambray, vests accented with bow snaps, minidresses screen-printed with clusters of chubby birds and ruched boyshorts for bikini sets."
I don't even know what half of those words mean. And something tells me David Arquette doesn't, either....
You are NOTHING in this world if you haven't recorded an album.
Up now: Jill Hennessy, from Law and Order and Crossing Jordan.
"It's what I did before I acted," she said at an event on Monday. "To be honest I never thought the acting thing would get off the ground." She describes her album as "sort of alternative, folk, rock."
I think my dog should record an album. It's totally the next logical step in his career....

Mariah and Nick are popping up everywhere these days!
Here's the happy couple at the launch of L.A. Reid's cosmetics line in NYC.
Yeah, you read that right.
L.A. Reid has a cosmetics line.
Sigh.
It's becoming increasingly obvious that I need to expand my brand. Focusing on just one thing -- like celebrity gossip -- is so passe in the business world these days.
What do you guys think?

I'm sorry, but what in God's name is this girl doing walking red carpets?
She's like twenty seconds away from full cardiac arrest.
Seriously if I were Donatella I'd be all like, "Listen, young lady. If you want to pose on the red carpet with me next week, you have to spend the remainder of this week in your room. Hooked up to IV nutrients. Capiche?"
