I Am So Obsessed with Baby Names

Is this just me? Every year, when the Social Security department releases its list of most popular baby names, I, like, study it. Why do I care so much? I'm not pregnant. I probably won't be pregnant ever, because men suck, and I'll end up adopting a little Cambodian baby and naming it Maddox and waiting around on my couch for Brad Pitt to show up and leave Angelina Jolie for me. But anyway. The most popular girl names in 2007: 1) Emily 2) Isabella 3) Emma 4) Ava 5) Madison ...

Man, I Am Such a Shallow Asshole

So I get an email on Facebook tonight. It was from a reader, begging me to help raise awareness about a cyclone that recently hit and devastated Myanmar. The cyclone hit on May 2, devastated much of the area, and the final fatality count is expected to be around 100,000 lives. You know what, you guys? I had never even fucking heard of this cyclone. And I think of how the entire world reached out to us to help after Hurricane Katrina, and I just think about what an awful, stereotypical American I am, and it kind of makes me feel sick. And I hate to go all Perez Hilton on you guys and be like "Donate to this cause!" but I figured it's kind of the least I can do to make amends for the fact that I know what happened on 30 Rock last week, because I came home and watched it after getting a pedicure and buying new heels, but I didn't know that a cyclone killed 100,000 people in Myanmar last week and left an entire region in total devastation.

Jennie Garth to Join 90210 Cast

Sorry I've been MIA all day. I was exhausted for some reason. I slept until 6 pm today, you guys. I mean, I got up every now and then to feed and play with Leo, but for the most part I just spent the entire day asleep. It was really nice, actually. I think I needed it. Luckily, nothing very interesting happened in my absence. Jennie Garth is officially signed on to reprise her role as Kelly Taylor in the 90210 spinoff, playing a guidance counselor at her old high school. She'll be a re...

Lauren Hastings Is Still Talking Shit About Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan's rehab frenemy, model Lauren Hastings, is really excited that Lindsay's all caught up in the Minkgate scandal, because it gives her a chance to rehash her story of how Lindsay stole a bunch of her shit back in, like, 1992. Nah, it was almost exactly a year ago, but the LA courts dismissed the case, so Lauren's determined to at least get as much publicity out of this things as is humanly possible. So I did something I should have done a long time ago -- I went through all the photos ...

Alanis Morissette Has Been Sad :(

You'd be sad, too, if you and your fiance broke up and then like two seconds later he was engaged to a girl ten years younger than you who's releasing an album of Tom Waits covers. "I took a break over the past two and half years. I was tending to my personal life," says Alanis. During that time, she says she hit "rock bottom" due to "a personal unraveling of significant relationships in my life." A "personal unraveling of significant relationships"? What does that even mean, Alanis? Like, if you...
