Our Lives Would Suck Without Kelly Clarkson

51711449kelly_clarkson23200942753pm America has spoken, people, and Kelly is #1 on the charts once again this week with her new album, All I Ever Wanted. I, for one, love the album, but I'm one of the rare people who actually loved My December, too, which flopped because it lacked strong singles. At the time, Kelly insisted on sticking with material she'd written herself, even though her label begged her not to release the album without some more radio-friendly material. I still think it was a damn good album. But I'm glad to see Kelly back on top, one way or another. I voted for you, Ke...

Natasha Richardson’s Organs Donated After Her Death

Natasha Richardson Way to go, Natasha! When the beloved and respected actress was taken off life support last week, her family requested that her organs be donated to other patients whose lives they might save. Organ donation "is very Natasha," a family friend told People. "She spent so much time fighting the stigma of AIDS; someone like that would naturally donate her organs. At least by donating her organs something good could come out of [the tragedy]." I agree! I've made clear to my family that, in the event of my death, they should totally tear me apart and use every pos...

Winnie Cooper Ties the Knot

danica_mckellar_book I just feel I have to emphasize what a phenomenal and unlikely life Danica McKellar has carved out for herself. After spending her childhood starring as the beautiful girl next door on The Wonder Years, she decided that instead of becoming a drug addict or attempting to release an ill-fated album, she would go to college. And study mathematics at UCLA. She graduated summa cum laude. I don't know that the average person understands just how difficult it is to graduate summa cum laude in mathe...

Love It Or Leave It?

57037572blakelively325200975912am-1 Gossip Girl's Blake Lively arriving at Late Show With David Letterman.  And I know I'm asking, "Love It Or Leave It?" but what I really want to know is, "Areola Or No Areola?"  Oh, and don't Google "areola" unless you are totally braced for disaster....

I Think Avril Lavigne Could Possibly Be A Drunk

56271047avrillavigne325200965525am-1 Remember when Avril Lavigne was kind of popular and relevant and sober and a singer?  Well don't feel bad because no one else does either. I'll tell you something, though.  She got married almost three years ago to Sum 41's Deryck Whibley and that union has lasted almost three years longer than I ever thought it would.  This is the couple that I always think has already divorced about five times by now.  Sadly, now their marriage appears to be scotch on the rocks.  Gatecrasher tells the ta...

Isaiah Washington: Anatomy Of An Eviction

55944903isaiahwashington325200961652am-1 It looks like former Grey's Anatomy bigot Isaiah Washington may be getting familiar with the anatomy of a cardboard box pretty soon, since he's about to be kicked out of his house. According to the landlord, Washington hasn't paid rent in five months.  Isaiah claims that he's been having trouble with his financial guy.  I don't suppose his money dude is Bernie Madoff, perchance? Eviction proceedings have been filed, which means Isaiah, his wife and their kids need to find a new place to n...

Brit-Brit Paid $2.7M in Legal Fees

56936465britneyspears3122009114233am And that's apparently a LOW estimate, and it doesn't include 2009. $2.7M is what Britney Spears' estate has paid lawyers since her father took over her life via a conservatorship in 2007. At least 17 lawyers and firms have had a hand in Spears' personal or business matters in the 14 months since a judge determined she was not competent to manage her life and multimillion-dollar music empire herself. The legal work has not come cheap, according to court papers, including an accounting fi...

Star Trek: TNG Cast to Appear on Family Guy!!!!

425familyguylc032409 Ohhhhhhhh this makes me SO HAPPY. You all know what a (not-so-closeted) Trekkie I am, and no series is closer to my heart than The Next Generation. Remember the time that Wil Wheaton signed my boobs? And then we BOTH Twittered about it? (Pics are here.) That was the happiest day of my life. (Apologies in advance to Wil's wife.) So I am of course just delighted to hear that basically the entire cast of TNG will be appearing on this Sunday's episode of one of my other favorite TV shows, Fami...

Robert Pattinson Stinks

Robert Pattinson Smells Bad Pictures Photos No, like, literally. Sources on the set of New Moon are complaining about how stinky he is! "He stinks. I mean, it's awful. He never showers, and it drives people on the set crazy," says a source who Ted Casablancas claims "works in very close quarters" with Rob, which I'm assuming means the man who does his hair or makeup in his trailer. "He completely reeks," says another source. Apparently Robert isn't a big fan of showering. And is anyone surprised? I mean, does this guy LOOK like he showers? Um, no. And maybe this ex...

Quotables

llohancarcrashagain_18_x17 "People telling lies about me to her and all this garbage. I'm really a good person and I have a good heart and just want to work. The only reason I go to clubs is to hear Samantha spin or be normal ... I don't drink, I don't do drugs and I don't lie. I love to act and write and be creative, and I want to help people by playing characters that can send a positive message out to whomever may need it ... I move forward and I change. Life's too short not to. If people would just leave my person...

It’s Evil Beet’s Birthday!!

Wendie mentioned it earlier in the day, but our queen Evil Beet is celebrating her birthday today, make sure you give her some Twitter Love or comment on how much you appreciate her in your life! She's the hardest working woman in show business and it's important to be nice every once in awhile, if only to switch things up. In her honor, I'd like to present: Ten Things You Might Not Have Known about The Evil Beet 1. She once worked for Leroy's Big House o' Warplanes. She's shaken Buzz Aldrin's hand. And she once complained to me, re: Live Free or Die Hard, that F-35 planes weren't operational yet, and thus shouldn't have been in the movie. 2. She's a dynamo at code and has a degree in computer science. Which is scary given she's a tremendous writer too. 3. She once had a boyfriend who ended statements with .net. As in "I think I'm hungry... .net." 4. Her mom is super tiny. But great too. Funny and warm, she's a poquito dynamo. I've asked her to adopt me and I think she's considering it. 5. Her sister works on an UNDERWATER SPACE STATION!! It's like what they send into space, but 1,000 feet underwater. Beat that! (Note: I may not have all my facts straight on this one) 6. Her Grandpa Sam is in better shape than me. And you. 7. The bikini logo came from the fact that "Evil Beet" originally became her nickname because of a sunburn. 8. She was named after a Joan Baez song. And she was damn near named Charly! 9. Two years ago she was thrilled when she was doing 1/30th of the web traffic she's doing now. So you can see world domination isn't too far off... and finally: 10. She's a lovely human and good friend. She puts herself out there daily for everyone to pass judgment on, she's painfully honest, and she works hard at her chosen profession. And when it snows her eyes become large and the light which she shines can be seen... Happy Birthday Beet! You are beloved. xoxo - lars />Wendie mentioned it earlier in the day, but our queen Evil Beet is celebrating her birthday today, make sure you give her some Twitter Love or comment on how much you appreciate her in your life!
