Angelina Jolie: Fainty McFainterson

I'm so glad I didn't run this story the first it happened. Happier still that I didn't run it the second time it happened. See, folks, it's not that I find all this business of Angelina Jolie fainting nilly-willy about India to be incredibly, tediously boring, it's that I was waiting for it to happen a third time. Why take up perfectly good column inches writing about Jolie's first two utterly irrelevant Indian fainting spells when you just know it will be a way bigger story when it happens the third t...

Studio 60 Brings Out the Big Guns

Or they bring in Jessica Simpson. I understand that she's trying to promote her poor-selling album but I don't think she is really going to be the ratings boost they are looking for. I would bring in Nick Lachey...bring in some teenage girls. I did enjoy Sting and his lute last week, but if they want to really "young" the show up other options could be JoJo, Danity Kane, or Justin Timberlake.I like Studio 60, and Evil Beet and I both are quite miffed at the switcharoo they are doing with Friday Ni...

Did Britney Birth a Girl?

When Britney Spears gave birth to her latest Federspawn on September 12, we reported that the lucky new Band-Aid for Britney's gaping emotional wounds was a boy named Sutton Pierce Federline. This week, sources are reporting that the baby is neither a boy nor another SPF, but rather a little girl named Jayden James.A pal of KFed's mom says that "Grandma Federline calls the child Jayden." Now, in fairness, this woman represents one-half of Kevin Federline's genetics, so I haven't entirely ruled ou...

You Win, Nick Carter

I can't hate you anymore. I can no longer despise your desperate and embarrassing pleas for attention and publicity. It takes too much energy. So I've decided to embrace you, and all the glorious Paris Hilton shit-talking that comes along with you.The latest stop on Nick's "Fuck Paris Hilton/Watch My TV Show" tour is Britain's News of the World, where Carter states that Paris "was a drunken prude who as far as I can see did not really like sex. She relied on drugs and drinks to give her confidence in t...

Today in Wonderful

What's this, you ask? It's rapper The Game (far right) getting his ass shown the door during a 1998 appearance on Change of Heart.Said his then-girlfriend Sadita: "All he [does] is smother me or cry like a baby. That's all he does. I can't stand looking at his ugly nose . . . He's a scrub, he doesn't have a car, and I feel like I always have to drive him around."Apparently the rap community has known about this for some time, but white people are just starting to find out, so let us enjoy this, okay?...

Kirsten Dunst Doesn’t Equal Box Office Gold

"Marie Antoinette" opened this weekend to less-than-stellar box office numbers. This might shock some as Sofia Coppola's mix of 80s Music and French decadence might sound slightly awesome, but mainly have looked pointedly at its star, Kirsten Dunst, as the culprit.Kirsten Dunst isn't really a stellar actress. I will not deny that she was awesome in "Interview with the Vampire" and that "Bring it On" is one of my favorite movies of all time but it has really been downhill since then. Anyone that h...

Somebody is a Copycat

Going through Page Six this morning I realized that they have a feature called the "Celebrity Star Map". Now click on this link and you can run your mouse over a map of Manhattan and see where various celebrities have been spotted doing various noteworthy things. If you are a local New Yorker, you too can have your star sighting posted on the internet. Their site is a bit sad, with only three sightings which include Jacob the Jeweler, Dr. Ruth, and Julia Roberts. This sounds quite similar to so...

Weekend Round-Up

Burkegate trudges forward, with new revelations that Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington has a history of violence and general on-set assholery. [TMZ]Madonna will appear on Oprah on Wednesday to defend her kinda-sorta-legal adoption of Malawi orphan David Banda, and, probably, to plug her upcoming adoption. [Hollywood Grind]Studio 60 is taking a one-week break from mildly amusing a viewership rich and liberal enough to know they should love Aaron Sorkin unconditionally, as NBC "quietly" slips a drama about Texa...

Wesley Snipes is on the Lam

It may be true that White Men Can't Jump, but we'll just see how they manage the extradition of U.S. tax evaders living in friendly West African nations.Wesley Snipes was indicted last week for attempting to cheat the U.S. government out of nearly $12 million in false refund claims and not filing any returns -- at all -- for six years. The Smoking Gun has Snipes' 1997 filing, in which the Blade star reports a net adjusted gross income of zilch.Where is Snipes now? He's in Namibia, filming a movie titled Gall...

John Krasinski Should Date Me.

So my #1 Celebrity Crush is John Krasinski. I have decided, recently, that he should be my boyfriend. He doesn't know it yet but I totally feel like we should date. Now, I am not alone. John Krasinski is quite the sex-symbol as of late. I think we all secretly hope for a fun, sweet romance with a nice guy at work. Here is John on "Ellen". I love them both so this interview makes me smile. I hope it makes you smile too :)And ladies. He is SINGLE!Enjoy!Thanks [Pop Culture Whore] for the clip![yout...

It’s Twins for Melissa Etheridge and Wife

Congratulations to Melissa Etheridge and wife Tammy Etheridge (nee Michaels)! Last Tuesday, October 17, Tammy gave birth to twins -- a boy and a girl -- named Miller Steven and Johnnie Rose.Hm. "Miller" and "Johnnie." Can you guess which one is the girl?No?That's okay, neither can any reasonable person.FYI, Johnnie Rose is the girl. Is it possible they're pronouncing it like "Joni?" I can't tell. Actually, "Johnnie," (pronounced Jah-nee) is kind of a hot name for a girl, but it's really gonna su...

Evil Saturday Links

Since I broke my foot and have no social life right now. Here are some links I found poking around the internet. Enjoy!Evidently the way to celebrate a holiday in India is to get plastic surgery. [Washington Post]Ashlee is totally stealing Jess's thunder. Wow Jessica, you are ranked 4th. At least Paris isn't #1. Go Ashlee Go! [E! Online]Japanese men love kinky sex. Evidently this dude had to learn 200 Japanese slang terms for dirty deeds in Japan. I wonder if this gives the song "Turning Japanese" new meaning? [Page Six]Demi Moore isn't the only older woman who has bagged herself a boy...
