Britain's Telegraph had the good sense to contract the services of Anna Wintour's daughter, Bee Shaffer, to write a brief column on the plight of today's fashion intern. The whole article is a riot, containing insights like that "the actual process of acquiring an internship has become one of the most common forms of nepotism, with parents relentlessly calling in favours [sic] from friends (I must admit to abusing a few connections myself), while hard-working, intelligent and deserving students are frequently turned...
So Gawker's been pushing this thing like it's crack on a playground, but it really is a must-read, so I'm going to cave and link to it, too. It's from Esquire's "What it Feels Like..." series, but this one is special, because the full title is "What it Feels Like...To Have Two Vaginas." Yes, yes, you should read it. />...

Some final items:MSNBC's Jason Katzman realizes that Will Ferrell is marketable, easy to pitch for. Screenwriters Guild of America sooo pissed their secret leaked. [MSNBC]Taylor Hicks is "writing" a "memoir." It's really cute when old people do that. [UPI via Jossip]ScoJo got one of those gross bull-style nose rings. I'm not sure whether I blame Woody Allen or Josh Hartnett. [Just Jared]If there is anyone on this planet who would have absolutely no reason -- contractual, blackmail-related or career healthwise -- to lie about having seen Suri Cruise, it is, withou...
The pictures are so gross I won't even have them on my website. But I feel you all need to at least be aware that this happened. />...
In the quiet, lapping wake of the notable non-success of RV, Robin Williams has "found himself drinking again," after 20 years of sobriety, but is taking "proactive measures to deal with this for his own well-being and the well-being of his family," his publicist said today.I'm going to go easy on this, because, following Mel Gibson's Jewgate, simply "finding oneself drinking again" seems like something minor overlooked, as in "I found myself substituting basil alone again, when the recipe clearly ...
The Hills' Lauren "L.C." Conrad and her boyfriend, goofy-lookin' Jason Wahler, had the good sense to end their relationship just as filming for the show had gone on hiatus, sending film crews scrambling to catch the drama they'd been waiting around to catch for the past six months. Production staff are depressed in part because their summer vacation ended practically before it started, but mostly that a 20-year-old FIDM student from Laguna Beach has the power to do that to them simply by dumping her...
Am I the only writer in the blogosphere more interested in the "Simpsons Strike Back at Dad" headline? Images of Jessica and Ashlee in super-cute guerilla gear, storming the Joe Simpson compound with M-16s and grenades, demanding the prompt return of their innocence, reputations, original noses, and chances of ever having a healthy relationship with a man?But, alas, the blogosphere is abuzz with this news; it's likely that the only person on the planet more apathetic than I toward the looming Vaughni...
To the utter surprise of absolutely no one, super-skinny mega-tattooed rockstar Travis Barker filed for divorce this morning from his wife of two years, the ever- heavier and less-employed former Miss USA/Playboy eagle-spreader Shanna Moakler (I know, I know, she just had a kid, leave her alone, but this isn't fucking therapy, it's a gossip blog, and the girl has been large lately, and you noticed, too).MemorandumTo: Celebrity couplesFrom: The Evil BeetRe: Tips for a successful marriageHey!

If I had been drinking milk when I first read this headline (I never drink milk; I am lactose intolerant; but still), it would have come straight out my nose.But wait! It's not over yet!"I've been trying to go to Iraq with Hillary Clinton for so long," says Lohan. "Hillary was trying to work it out, but it seemed too dangerous."That sound you hear? Is your reality shifting. Give it a minute to settle. Take a deep breath. Clean up the snot-milk.And we're not even halfway through our exploration of...
Perhaps Colin Farrell missed the luck of the Irish in one key area. Angelique Jerome, who claims to have had a multi-hour affair with Farrell in London last month, tells London's Sunday Mirror that "he has a great body and a charm that any woman would kill for. But he's all talk. Between the sheets, he is a letdown with only half a baguette in his lunchbox, if you know what I mean."Ouch.[Rush & Molloy]Update: US Weekly's blog ran this item with the headline "Colin Farrell's Man-Loaf Not Up to ...
Normally when a paper runs a profile on some dude who's a real asshole, it's tempered somehow, as in, "During the week I spent with Gibson, it became clear that he was a blatant anti-Semite and a reckless drunk, but there's a true sense of decency beneath it -- a genuine, if long-suppressed, desire to help small kittens and fly-covered people in Africa."Not so much here, in Claire Hoffman's strictly nauseating recollection of the time she spent shadowing Joe Francis, the founder of the "Girls Gone...
