Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester became engaged to actor Sebastian Stan this weekend. I’d like to tell you why this relationship is going to fail. Not because she’s only 22. Not because, even though they only met last year, the media is referring to them as “long-term.” Not because she’s on a hit show and no one really knows who he is. Not because they made their announcement on their Facebook pages. The reason this union is destined for failure is this. Though the media is highlighting his two-episode appearance on GG (which is how the two met), his most high-profile role is that of “the guy” in a Hayden Panettiere music video. Wake Up Call. Remember that song? Synopsis: Buy me drinks and take me places or I’ll sleep with other guys.
And could you ever envision yourself growing old with the guy who thought it was good judgment to be in a Hayden Panettiere video? Truly?
The Day the Earth Stood Still starring Keanu Reeves claimed the number one spot this weekend with a $31M debut. Four Christmasesis still pulling in money having $13.3M in sales. I actually disowned two friends last night after their tearful confessional in which I learned that not only did they contribute $18 to this train wreck, but they loved it. It was sad too because we were really close but it’s over. There were red flags before this incident though. I have to whisper this so Beet doesn’t hear but they were also um, Dave Matthews Band groupies. I cannot support such anarchy. Twilight held at the third spot pulling in $8M which is double what Australia pulled in this weekend.
President Bush has some amazing reflexes. He was attending a press conference in Baghdad as part of a farewell visit, when a reporter hurled his shoes at Bush’s head. Throwing shoes is considered a major insult among Muslims.
Personally, I just want to know where Secret Service is. I know it’s just a shoe but you’d think whenever any inanimate object is flying at the President’s head, someone would lunge on him. Did I just watch too many episodes of West Wing?
As the chaos subsided, Bush’s first statement was “That was a size 10 shoe he threw at me, you may want to know.” Perspicacity defined.
I challenge all of you “It’s only the lighting, it’s a different angle, she’s just matured a bit, I think she’s lost/gained weight, what are you talking about she looks exactly the same” delusionaries to tell me that the classically beautiful Debra Messing isn’t a Botox/Restalyne/collagen and perhaps scalpel junkie. Right. Because I know when I’m in harshly lit environments, my upper lip doubles in size too.
I know I sound angry and I am. Debra Messing is one of the most stunning women in the world. Look at the top picture of her from four years ago. She seriously believed she had to improve that? Though I am suspicious of the cheekbones, prominent nose bridge and startled eyes she now possesses, I am hoping and praying that this is just a chemical renovation that, like a nightmare, will eventually fade.
I’m so flustered right now. Okay. Others there, and by ”there” I mean the Damages Season 2 premiere, include William Hurt, Rose Byrne, Tate Donovan, Timothy Olyphant and Glenn Close who is apparently busing tables at Pirate’s Landing Seafood Shanty when not attending Sisters of Sappho meetings.
Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts welcomed their second son yesterday. No word yet on the name but their firstborn is named Alexander. Therefore, I feel confident in saying that this kid has a pretty normal name too. As opposed to Gargoyle or something of that nature. So that gives me peace. Their two sons are sixteen months apart. I did something similarly stupid a couple of years back; it was like having twins. I don’t have nannies though and nannies really do make everything better.
Pic is from Naomi in May. I just used this one because I find pasties generally amusing. Aggressively illuminated pasties? Really amusing.
