My favorite fashion blogger, Lola Leon, was spotted on the set of one of her mom's projects in London over the weekend! Look at how fashionable she is! And guys... is that a rasta wristband that she's wearing? With a big pot leaf on it? Hmmm. I wonder why she'd be wearing something like that...

Fantasia Barrino was in the news last week after overdosing on asprin and sleep medication. At the time I think most people thought it was an accident. Some even blamed her illiteracy, saying that she wasn't aware that she'd taken more than the recommended dose. Then today an extremely candid interview with Fantasia from her upcoming Behind the Music came out in People where she confirms that not only was the overdose not an accident, but that she's already started to pull herself out of that dark place where suicide was an option... and guys? I'm wondering now if this whole thing was a publicity stunt to ramp up ratings for her Behind the Music special.
I pulled some of the best quotes from the interview for ya:
"I didn't have any fight in me. I didn't care about anything. I just wanted out. At that moment, I wanted out. I wanted it to be over with – all of it, all of that [expletive]."
"I just sat in the closet and looked at the mirror and took all the pills in the bottle. I wanted to go to sleep and just be at peace. I knew exactly what I was doing. You can't accidentally take a whole bottle of pills."
"I was tired of people doing me wrong, constantly, over and over again, dealing with my family – my father, dealing with men and their [expletive] – I was tired," she says. "My head was hurting me. I was over it."
"My nurse Melanie was a blessing into my life because she didn't tell me what I wanted to hear. She told me what I needed to hear. And she looked at me and said, 'You gotta get up, and you've gotta get out of here, 'cause you haven't fulfilled your destiny.' "
"I realized how people end up in the grave. Because that one moment [snaps her fingers] of just breaking or feeling like I can't, I can't go on, it's too heavy. That was somewhere I don't ever want to go again."
It's not so much Fantasia's statements that call her honesty into question for me, it's her statement mixed with her manager's account of the nights events. They just sound... kinda fake to me. Like, poorly written versions of something that would be a real problem if they happened to someone else:
"Her emotions were extremely low. She'd been crying all day. Fantasia was just numb. Fantasia texted me, saying 'I love you.' I wrote back, 'I love you more.' Then it hit me. I wrote, 'You better not do anything or think about doing anything stupid.' And I left it at that. About 10 minutes later, Fantasia texted me back, and she said, 'Already did.' I went into Fantasia's room and saw her on the floor, and my heart just dropped."
There are too many elements to this story that sound like a scream for attention from a teenager. The non-prescription drugs taken, taking the pills and then alerting someone employed by her to her situation, the fact that there was a camera crew set to interview her for her Behind the Music special just a week later.
Suicide is something to be taken seriously, so if my speculation is incorrect and Fantasia genuinely was trying to kill herself, thank God she's getting the help she needs. However, if this suicide attempt is more of a low-budget theatrical production like I suspect it to be, then that's mad shameful. Not cute. />Fantasia Barrino was in the news last week after overdosing on asprin and sleep medication. At the time I think most people thought it was an accident.

Katy Perry got herself a little press not too long ago by making comment on her Twitter page about entertainers using blasphemy in their performances. She Tweeted,"Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke,” and many suspected that comment was her response to Lady Gaga's recently released music video for 'Alejandro'.
When asked by The Advocate (it's a good interview, you should read it) whom she was directing that statement toward, Katy replied, "Anyone. Whether it’s Madonna hanging on a cross or Russell using the Lord’s name in vain, it makes me feel … I guess I’m just sensitive to it. But the media loves to create these catfights with women — it’s almost a fetish. Sometimes you see it with bands like Blur and Oasis, but rarely you see it between anyone but girls because guys get off on the whole idea. I’m a huge fan of Lady Gaga, and hundreds of my tweets have been dedicated to her brilliance."
Although Katy indirectly said that, although they haven't spoken, there's no unsettled beef between the two pop stars.
While there's something to be said for Katy's defense of her former religion, I do think it's fairly hypocritical of her to pick and choose what she's offended by in such a clearly biased fashion. To her blasphemy is cheap, but I've never seen Lady Gaga shoot whipped topping out of her breasts. Something tells me the church might not like that much, either. Katy Perry usually seems to be pretty judgment-free, so it's odd to me why she can't see that her stance on this is shocking if nothing else. />

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are still totally doing the whole, "He's straight and we're dating" thing. Jesus. How long have they been putting this on? Like four years now? Crazy.
The "couple" is vacationing in Hawaii together and were snapped playing around on the beach yesterday.
Hey, Zac. Nice hat. Did your boyfriend pick that out for ya?

Shit. Well, these photos were the source of a lot of realizations this morning. 1) Marion Cotillard is still way prettier than me, 2) The September issues of fashion magazines are hitting the newstands and THAT means two things: 1) It's fall, basically, 2) My clothes are even more out of date. Whatever! Like I care! But still, guys! It's that time of the year! Fall fashion!
Dare I ask if anyone is particularly into any fall trends? And do you think that some day I will be as pretty as Marion Cotillard?

Taylor Momsen must be pissed she wasn't offered this role.
It was just announced that Maggie Gyllenhaal has been cast in Hysteria, a film set in the Victorian era that focuses on the invention of the vibrator.
Maggie will be playing the daughter of a doctor who invents a new, vibrating cure for hysteria. Yes, that's totally actually how vibrators were invented. To treat hysteria. Little did they realize, they'd also cure boredom, loneliness and the desire to sleep with people who generally gross you out so you can get some Goddamn play.
That should be good. Hope her brother makes one about the invention of the butt plug next. Did I go to far? />Taylor Momsen must be pissed she wasn't offered this role.

True Blood co-stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer tied the knot in Malibu yesterday. The bride wore a simple halterneck gown with Neil Lane jewels, and the groom wore a traditional dark suit. A source spoke to People and gave a generic "I was at their wedding"-type quote, "It was a beautiful evening to get married and the sunset was gorgeous. Anna and Stephen seemed very excited to celebrate their wedding day with their families and close friends."
Isn't that just great for them! Maybe their vampire love will inspire Kristen and Rob to do the right thing. />

Bad news, tennis fans (and I'm sure that there are dozens of you out there.) Serena Williams has announced that she wont be playing in this year's US Open due to a continued pain in her right knee. After Wimbledon this year, Serena hurt her knee on a broken glass and the slow healing process has made her unfit to play.
From People.com:
"It is with much frustration and deep sadness that I am having to pull out of the U.S. Open," the tournament’s three-time champion said in a statement released Friday by her publicist.
The tennis superstar’s withdrawal also means she won't team with older sister Venus to defend the doubles title they won in at the U.S. Open last year. Venus, who hasn't competed on tour since Wimbledon because of a bothersome left knee, is expected to play singles at the tournament, which kicks off Aug. 30 in Flushing Meadows, N.Y.
Wow. Well, I'm sure that news is devastating to someone who cares.
What I've pulled from this is that Serena Williams is in a weakened state and so she probably doesn't have it in her to tackle and kill me. She's huge, you know? I'm afraid of her. />Bad news, tennis fans (and I'm sure that there are dozens of you out there.)

"You know what was amazing to me? Finally not having a frickin' cop outfit. I'm so tired of these butchy polyester outfits. It seems every time I do something I'm wearing some government outfit - it's so annoying. With the exception of Fast And The Furious, I'm always in uniform. I'm always like, 'Can I just get rid of this butch outfit and be hot for once?'"

It was announced earlier this week that my wish came true and Danielle Staub has been fired from Real Housewives of New Jersey. The former convict immediately made claims that she was going to be given a spin-off by Bravo, and if not that, she'd at least be appearing on the Real Housewives of New York City. No such luck, Danielle. No such luck.
Bravo is so fed up with dealing with Danielle that they want nothing to do with her. Especially after Real Housewives of New York City cast members said they would be leaving the show if she were to make an appearance.
Additionally, Danielle's ex-husband has finally decided to step in and do something about the fact that his daughters are living with a crazy person. He decided to attempt to gain custody after discovering that no work permits have been filed for his daughter Jillian's participation on the show. Breaking child labor laws? Not good.
All of this news is sad. The woman messed up her life and the lives of her children in order to participate in this show and in the long run, none of it will have been worth it. The good news (for us folks at home anyway)? Apparently Bravo gave her the heave-ho right before the reunion taping, so you know that that's going to be two hours of completely buckwild television.
Good riddance, Danielle. No one will miss you. />

Fuckin' celebrities. It's as if being famous for being decent at one thing is never enough for them.
Adrian Grenier (the dude who plays Vinny on Entourage and Melissa Joan Hart's love interest in the greatest movie of the last century, Drive Me Crazy) and his band The Honey Brothers are set to appear on an upcoming episode of 90210. Acting wise, Adrian's playing a possible love interest for AnnaLynne McCord, but seeing as he's only slated to appear in one episode, I'm thinking that nothing's going to materialize between the two.
Who still watches 90210? Has it been any good this season? />Fuckin' celebrities. It's as if being famous for being decent at one thing is never enough for them.
