Readers! You strike me as the type of grown adult women (and men?) who collect dolls. Did I guess right? No?
Anyway, that's why I'm coming to you for advice. I, too, am the sort who shells out for limited-edition dolls---it's kind of a celeb idolatry thing, kind of a simulacrum thing, but mostly a leftover from my action-figure-collecting days---but I have to admit, I'm just not sure about this one.
You see, the new-ish Farrah Fawcett Barbie is flying off the shelve...
New, stunning portraits of Gary Oldman! (I know that wasn't a complete sentence; I just wanted to cut straight to the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.)
Was there ever an actor more capable, more willing, or more splendid than Gary Oldman?
Here are some facts about your very favorite actor (after Alan Rickman, I mean):
Ahem. Gary Oldman, accomplished actor of stage and screen, was a prodigy pianist (and singer!) as a child. As a teenager, he applied for admission to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art,...
Yup! Tina Fey gave birth to a baby girl---finally, right?---waaaay back on Wednesday. (Fey's publicist confirmed the happy news Friday evening.)
Since you were wondering, the new addition is named Penelope Athena. As Greek mythology goes, that is a seriously feminist name.
That said, I almost wish Tina Fey had gone with the name "Artemis" instead, because Artemis was maybe the first girl to ever play hard-to-get. Plus, Tina could nickname the kid "Artie"! Ha ha! (And that, my friends, is why I have no...
Watch out, Alan Greenspan! Who could have guessed that Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is an armchair economist? Or, for that matter, a hobbyist Nostradamus?
When the Wall Street Journal asked Snooki for her take on the current economic climate, she provided this extrapolative "money quote" (haha!):
The economy is really scary because 2012 is coming. I feel like the first thing that’s going to happen… is a blackout and then everyone freaks out and the world goes crazy. So hopefully, Obama w...
Whoa, whoa, what the…! How the…! Crystal Harris---who notoriously dumped Hugh Hefner days before their wedding---is living with a different guy! And while the pair isn't dating, the guy's identity is definitely interesting.
So who is Crystal Harris rooming with? Why, it's Dr. Phil's son, Jordan McGraw! Whaaaat? How the hell do these kids even know each other?
TMZ reports that the Littlest McGraw is hard at work producing Crystal's upcoming album....
The key to effective lovin', John Stamos tells us, is cuddling. Embedded below is a step-by-step guide, a veritable Kama Sutra of Snuggles, in which Stamos demonstrates how to take your Bob Saget---I mean, your lady---to new heights of pleasure.
It's all for a good cause: John Stamos is raising awareness for Project Cuddle, a "non-profit organization that offers safe and legal alternatives to baby abandonment." (Not that the video itself has anything to do with babies; I think the aim is simply to make "Stamos" synonymous with "cuddle." Sold!)

Ugh, OK. It's hard to hate Rebecca Black. She's already parlayed wry self-awareness into a facsimile of a career, and props for that.
But if this is Rebecca's "Moment," it is an interminable, "endless breadsticks" kind of Moment. Last week, Rebecca joined Katy Perryonstage in concert for a chorus of "Friday"; this week, she was interviewed on ABC's Nightline about the perils of fame.
Then, last night, Rebecca Black performed a short medley---a very short medley, as she has only two songs---on America's Got Talent. Verdict? If she's singing without a backing track, she sounds better than you expect, which isn't great, but it's something.
The best part of the performance, however, comes at its conclusion, when Talent judge Piers Morgan visibly wonders when he can get back to his super-important job at CNN. Take a look at Sharon Osbourne's reaction. Oh, Piers! What a pistol! />

How time flies! Little Frances Bean Cobain---beleaguered progeny of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love---is nearly 19 years old now, and she has blossomed into her own woman.
She recently posed for French fashion designer and photographer Hedi Slimane in a series of stirring black-and-white photographs: the effect is really marvelous, all collarbone and shoulders and sinews. Slimane also made heavy-handed use of a lot of "martyrdom" and "lost childhood" imagery (I included a couple here for flavor), but the real star here is Frances Bean.
One caveat: if I could find a way, I would march up to my 19-year-old self and smack that life-ruining cancer stick right out from between her own two lips. Do you hear me, Frances Bean? Fine, I can see that you aren't listening. Carry on.

Last night, Mike Sorrentino and Jesse Eisenberg were both guests on Leno---Sorrentino was promoting the new season of Jersey Shore, of course, while Eisenberg was out in support of his new comedy, 30 Minutes or Less.
So when Jay Leno asked Sorrentino to illustrate his pick-up lines on, say, young Mr. Eisenberg, Sorrentino was only too willing.
And since none of us watches Leno, I'll just post the clip! Here's the Situation, demonstrating his command of the Italian tongue (heh):

Regarding the unveiling of the Catwoman costume: I was unmoved by it. If there is something two rungs beneath "apathy," that is exactly what I felt. And others felt the same way, in that they felt nothing.
But Anne Hathaway has strong words for her costume's critics:
Anne: "…I happen to know that MTV's reaction [to the Catwoman costume] was 'Meh.'"
Interviewer: "Was it 'Meh'?"
Anne: [coyly] "MTV's reaction was 'Meh.'"
Interviewer: "That's why I'm here! I'm here to broker the ...
Look! It's a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure YouTube video!
Made by the talented Doctor Octoroc (née Levi Buffum---he made the similar "8-Bit Glee" game) and written by the Fine Bros., "Saved by the Bell Interactive" revisits a few of your favorite episodes!
Saved by the Bell was voted the Best School TV Show of All Time, Us reported yesterday, besting 90210 in the polls by a narrow margin.
(Related: a Saved by the Bell-themed music video starring the cast of Final Destination 5. No, really.) />

Could this be the most amazing photograph of Dennis Quaid ever? His dog is so fat.
Over at BWE, Dan Hopper has already captioned this photograph with SIX amazing pug puns (my favorite was "In Good Compugny")....
