Exploiting the Death of a Teenage Girl for Fun and Profit

A Dutch filmmaker is beginning work on a film based on the disappearance (and presumed death) of Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005. It'll be based on the book Vuurkoraal by a Dutch journalist. (Google Translate can't seem to translate "Vuurkoraal" into English for me ... can any of you do it?) I assume the film will be in Dutch, although it would probably be a lot more profitable if they did it in English and marketed it here. This is the same country where people rushed out in hordes to ...

Why Don’t Critics Get a Sneak Preview of 90210?

Answer: Because it sucks. The network and producing studio issued a statement Monday saying they won't be sending out DVDs of the highly anticipated show before its September 2 premiere. "The CW and our studio partner CBS Paramount Network Television have made the strategic marketing decision not to screen '90210' for any media in advance of its premiere," the statement said. "We're not hiding anything -- simply keeping a lid on '90210' until 9.02, riding the curiosity and anticipation in...

Lily Allen Takes Charge

Oh, Lily. You just can't stay out of trouble these days, can you? Lily was stumbling between London clubs at 1:30 in the morning when a random fan started talking shit to her. The obvious response? Lily punched her three times. The paps say she landed all three punches solidly. And she would have kept going, except her friends pulled her away and put her in the car. Rock on, Lily. This is kind of what I'd like to do to Microsoft right now. I just had my FOURTH core dump of the night as I was downloading these photos of ...

Dita Von Teese to Launch Line of Lingerie

I suppose the biggest question is really why this took so damn long. Dita Von Teese has teamed up with Wonderbra to create a line of lingerie inspired by looks from the '40s and '50s. "I love it when you can go about your daily business with the knowledge that you have a little secret of your own on underneath," she says. "Lingerie shouldn't be something you just put on for your lover; you should do it for you. It's not about seducing men, it's about embracing womanhood." I actually think this is awesome and I'm excited to buy it. In fact, I...

I Have To Kill Some More People

It's actually a pretty long list. I have to kill both Amanda Beard and model Lily Donaldson, both of whom Michael Phelps is rumored to be dating, but before I do that, I have to kill anyone involved in the creation of Windows Vista and the decision to install it on any fucking new laptop. From what I can tell, Windows Vista is in no way better than XP, it's just very different and therefore impossible to navigate when you're used to using XP. Oh, and it's crashed twice already. Like, full-on core dump. While I was trying to do complicated things. Like connect to the Internet. Incredible. How long did Microsoft take to...

Cancer-Free!

Woo hoo for Christina Applegate, who announced at a taping of Good Morning America today that, just a month after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she is free of the disease. "I'm clear," she said. "Absolutely 100 percent clear and clean. ... They got everything out so I'm definitely not going to die from breast cancer." Christina's battle seems easy, but it's in large part due to the fact that she got checked early and regularly for signs of cancer, knowing that she was at risk. ...

Taylor Hanson and His Wife Are Expecting Their Fourth Child

Holy fucking hell. The middle Hanson kiddo and his wife, Natalie, are expecting baby number four this winter. Please note that Natalie is 24 years old and Taylor is 25. This kind of shit never ceases to amaze me. What kind of 24-year-old wants four children? I'm 26 and I have four small animals, and even that's a little overwhelming. Plus none of them grew in my stomach and I still feel like I kind of need a tummy tuck because my tummy looks less like the tummy of a 20-year-old and more like the tummy of a 26-year-old, and I find that to be hor...

Another Suri Cruise Photo Shoot

While Brad and Angelina are charging $8 gazillion for like five photos of their children, Katie Holmes has Suri wandering around New York all day every day posing for anybody with a camera. Like, I understand the photos of them outside; it's unreasonable to expect Katie to keep Suri locked up in a tower all day. But what's with the 8000 photos of Suri inside a clothing store? Can't they keep the paparazzi out? Why is she letting them get all these photos of her little girl? She sure i...
