Nigella Lawson’s Refrigerator Is An Homage To Missy Elliott

Nigella Lawson is amazing: she's beautiful, she makes amazing food, she's English... what more is there to talk about? For someone who makes her living cooking diabolically delicious dishes, the fact that her refrigerator at home is absolutely massive should come as no surprise. What does come as a surprise, however, is that her kitchen equipment was inspired... by Missy Elliott? From People:
"I saw Missy Elliott had the world's biggest fridge, and I thought, 'One day I've got to have that fridge!' " says Lawson, as she gestures toward the 7-ft.-tall Sub-Zero appliance at one end of her expansive London kitchen. "So it's called the Missy Elliott Memorial Fridge. It is so huge, but I love it."
The Missy Elliott Memorial Fridge! How good is that? It's a simultaneous burn because she's not dead, but her career seems to be. (Shut up in the comments, I'm a massive hip hop fan and know she's featured on a few records, just leave me be.) Also, here's a tid-bit that'll blow your mind grapes: Nigella is 53!!! Say what? One more thing: her Everyday Brownies are diabolically good, and you should make some immediately. /> Nigella Lawson is amazing: she's beautiful, she makes amazing food, she's English... what more is there to talk about?

Bradley Cooper’s Mom Isn’t Fond of Zoe Saldana, I Guess

Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana got their swerve on for about a year before splitting up,  though Zoe's not taking the news so well. She's desperate to get him back, but Bradley's got another woman in his life steering him in the opposite direction: his mother. From Radar Online: Gloria Cooper, who lives with her handsome movie star son, has told Bradley, 38, not to take her back because she just isn’t so sure she’s the right girl for him. But at least one source tells Radar that Bradley isn’t listening and he is seeing Zoe! “Gloria...

Who Knew? George W. Bush Is a Modern Day Van Gogh

George W. Bush pics It's hardly secret knowledge that George W. Bush is an absolute idiot, but is he an idiot savant? Perhaps. After a hacker exposed email correspondences between several members of the Bush family earlier this week, you might expect deep, dark secrets and details of global conspiracies to have been exposed. Sure, there were details of the former POTUS' poor health last year and other things that I couldn't care less about, but the most interesting thing to come out of the scandal is that ol' Geo...

Amy Poehler Gives Really Great Advice

We're going to start the weekend with an earnest post, so get ready: Amy Poehler is wonderful. She's funny, smart and just an all-around lovely human being, which this world sometimes seems like a small miracle, especially in Hollywood. She's a star who's earned every single bit of success she has and instead of getting big-headed about it, she does things like start an online web series answering questions from young girls in video form. Here's the latest episode, in which Amy talks about the...

Is Lana Del Rey Recording a Song for ‘The Great Gatsby’?

In what is probably either the most bizarre or the most perfect music/movie news (I can't decide which yet) this week, Lana Del Rey has been teasing fans with news that she may or may not be recording music for the upcoming film adaptation of The Great Gatsby. Posting the above photo on her Twitter page this week along with the hashtag "#GATSBY", that's... really all the news we've got on this one, folks. Is Lana Del Rey recording a song or original music for the film? Is she just a Carrie Mulligan superfan? Is 'Ride' one o...

Kanye West Is Tired Of Being Made Fun Of For Wearing a Skirt

Kanye West has always been at the forefront of fashion, so it's no surprise that he ventured into the ladies wear territory late last year when performing in a leather skirt at a benefit for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Did he look ridiculous? Of course. Did anyone really care about his stupid outfit when we don't really care about Kanye in general? Not particularly. However, apparently some people have been giving poor 'Ye a hard time about his love of a crisp a-line, because he wants ...

Ginnifer Goodwin Is Obsessive About Her Health… and Listerine?

Ginnifer Goodwin pictures, photos Ginnifer Goodwin is a bit odd, isn't she? She's like something straight out of Lord of the Rings (she'd be an Elf, obviously) or something. Also, she's a pretty terrible actress. I absolutely love Once Upon a Time, partly because everyone in that show is horrendous at acting (Lana Parrilla excepted!) and also because it's pretty clever and almost - but not quite - great. In any case, celebs are forever endorsing products for a quick buck and Ginnifer is no exception (I once thought she was going t...

Crystal Harris Is Super Happy That Hugh Hefner Would Rather Play Cards Than Have Sex

It's been less than a year since Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris finally tied the knot (after she unsuccessfully tried to run away) and to everyone's shock, I'm sure, 26-year-old Crystal isn't so keen on having sex with her 86-year-old husband. While she could only say "no comment" when asked if they are intimate, she did seem way too relieved as she explained that Hef would rather play board games than do the nasty. From HuffPost Live: "I feel like since Hef is older now and he's had... the phases of all th...

Viola Davis Won’t Play Another Maid, Wants Better Roles for Black People

This entry is a bit earnest and devoid of snark, but you'll just have to deal with it. Viola Davis is in the upcoming flick Beautiful Creatures, which I'll probably see because I have a weakness for magical realism and bad YA fiction. While her character, Amma, as originally written as a maid, Viola gave a good "hell no!" to that because playing a housekeeper in The Help was enough for her and, you know, black people can do more than serve white ones. From CNN's Marquee Blog: “I'm tired of th...

Amanda Bynes Calls Jay-Z Ugly on Twitter, Then Deletes It

I've got to hand it to Amanda Bynes, who continues to take it to the next level at every available opportunity with pure, unadulterated f-ckery. I don't pretend to know what goes through her head when she does stuff like piercing her face or hit-and-running, and I certainly don't know what in the hell possessed her to get on Twitter and call Jay-Z ugly. Of course, she later thought better of whatever the hell that was and decided to delete it, but not before it was picked up by plenty of si...

Adele Is Making Serious Bank

adele photos Adele is a total queen and incidentally, one rich bitch because of it. The success of her sophomore album 21 was unparalleled and her talent is just insane, so it should be no surprise that she makes a hell of a lot of money now, even though every song she writes probably makes you want to cry your eyes out and/or jump off your nearest bridge. From The Sun: The 'Rolling In The Deep' singer, brought up by her mum in a flat above a shop, now rakes in £41,000 a DAY. And the flush star is ha...
