It's as if Stand and Deliver never even happened...so sad...Fuck. Yes.

Excuse the brief leave of absence, folks; in the wake of the Kate Hudson/Strange Bearded Man separation, I needed a mental health day. It happens. I'm much better now, thanks for asking.So let's catch up, shall we?For no discernable reason whatsoever, Justin Timberlake went on record with Vanity Fair to announce his unbridled ire for the vocal stylings of American Idol's Taylor Hicks. From MSN:“People think he looks so normal, and he’s so sweet and he’s so earnest, but he canââ‚...
Yes, Jessica Simpson's ultra-annoying former BFF and the kick-ass Zack Braff sidekick from Scrubs are rumored to be bumping uglies. I heard about this on Molly Good, who has some interesting observations on the subject ("either she's bearable or he's not nearly as cool as he comes off"), and I suggest you instruct your RSS to track further updates through her, because I don't know how much of this I'll be able to follow without feeling queasy....

I haven't really been in a writing mood today, which is why you've been treated to videos and nip-slip pics, but as a responsible journalist (cough cough hiss hiss), I respect that there are some things my readers should know before I sign off for the day:1) Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes oblingingly struck the we're-in-love pose for paparazzi yesterday, and people seem to think this is newsworthy, so, there ya go.2) X17 thinks they've got a shot of Suri Cruise.
