Nermal Is Going Into the Film Business

I know I've mentioned on this blog before that the only thing I know about Abu Dhabi is that it's where Garfield always threatened to send Nermal. But now I know one more thing: Abu Dhabi is positioning itself to become the Bollywood of the Arab world. Government-owned Abu Dhabi Media Company (ADMC), which owns a number of print and broadcast firms, has launched a company called "imagenation [sic] abu dhabi" with plans to make movies in the rich, desert state, according to reports in the U...

Liveblogging the New 90210

OKAY. So, what'd everybody think of the new 90210??? I was thinking, ya know, I know you guys were disappointed that I didn't do recaps of last season of AmIdol, so I thought I'd liveblog this groundbreaking moment in television to make it up to you. I decided that before realizing that the premiere was two hours long. But you know what? I did it anyway. Yeah. I love you guys that much. Also because I'm pretty sure I fractured my wrist doing yoga last night, so it's not like I could go...

The Inevitable Helen Mirren Clarification

I knew this was coming after this shit hit the fan on Tuesday. "Helen Mirren does not dispute the accuracy of statements attributed to her in an upcoming GQ article," read a statement released Tuesday by Mirren's publicist, Stan Rosenfield. "She merely asks that people read the article in its entirety before drawing conclusions. If they do that, she says, their conclusions will likely be far less sweeping and sensational than those drawn by some in the popular press. She does not wish to qualify any of her remarks. She just wants to avoid having them...

Lindsay Lohan in Labor Pains: The Trailer

What do we think, kids? It's probably not going to win any Oscars, but it sure looks like some of the best work we've seen out of Lindsers in a loooong time. Thanks Anna L! /> What do we think, kids?

Okay Jimmy Kimmel Just Regained a Tiny Bit of My Respect

As much as I hate Jimmy Kimmel -- and I can't even quite recall why anymore, but I'm certain I do -- I have to give him some props for this hilarious interview with Lauren Conrad. Just start around 4:05 and don't stop until it's over. Honestly. Don't stop until it ends. You have to watch the clip of The Hills they run at the very end. The whole thing is LOL-tastic. Here's a spoiler: Jimmy forces her to watch one of Heidi Montag's music videos. /> As much as I hate Jimmy Kimmel -- and I can't even quite recall why anymore, but I'm certain I do -- I have to give him some props for this hilarious interview with Lauren Conrad.

A Modern Romance

Heh. You gotta love this. Cameron Diaz is chatting on her cell phone while her boyfriend, model (and Aniston ex) Paul Sculfor is texting on his. I like this photo because it pretty much typifies every relationship I've been in during the past, like, five years. Like, "Yes, dear, you are very pretty. Now go entertain yourself while I talk to the people whose conversation I enjoy. I'll call for you when I need you to be pretty for me again." Hey, whatever works. ...

Red Light District Offers $500K for Josh Hartnett Sex Tape That May or May Not Exist

Rumors began this morning that Josh Hartnett had sexual relations with some chick in a hotel library, and the library's security cameras caught the whole thing in grainy black-and-white detail. This story raises a number of questions, the most pressing of which is: since when do hotels have libraries? Who the hell calls room service like "Um, yes, I'll have a cheeseburger, a bottle of Shiraz and anything Upton Sinclair wrote before 1925." WTF? At any rate, if this tape does exist, ...

Quotables

"The first political convention I ever attended was when my mom was pregnant with me in 1984 and the Republican Party nominated Ronald Reagan for a second term as President. I have been on political stages and in campaigns since before I could walk or talk. If there is one thing I have learned, it is that it is difficult to establish your identity and independence as the son or daughter of a politician. When I was 14 years old, a reporter questioned my father about me having a hypothetical abortion, had I been pregnant at 14. This reporter's question single-handedly changed my life. This story comes up in almost every profile written about me and in almost every interview. It's a rough go being the son or daughter of a politician. I have not known Bristol Palin very long, but there is a certain kinship I feel to her as I do other political daughters such as Chelsea Clinton, Jenna and Barbara Bush and Mary Cheney. You can't fully understand it unless you have lived it. So I just wanted to let it be known that I support Bristol and the entire Palin family." Meghan McCain, on her blog. On a completely related note: how hot is Meghan McCain these days? I mean, check out her tits. Are those things for real? I mean, I thought I had large natural breasts for my height and weight, but, Jesus, Meghan puts me to shame. Very impressive, dear. /> "The first political convention I ever attended was when my mom was pregnant with me in 1984 and the Republican Party nominated Ronald Reagan for a second term as President.

Christina Aguilera Has a New Perfume

But who wants to talk about the perfume? Not me. Let's talk about the way Christina Aguilera looks at the big launch of her scent, "Inspire," at Macy's in NYC. That's so much more fun. I'll start. I'm going to name some things that I find to be, let's say, "sub-par" about this particular look. If I missed any, feel free to chime in. 1) That is not a dress it is a shirt. It is something you are supposed to pair with pants. 2) Pink lipstick, Christina? 3) Are you trying to "inspir...
