Posh Spice Victoria Beckham on the streets of London, embracing the shredded legging trend.

There are many times in my life when I ignore certain situations in hopes that they’ll just go away.  It’s not a real effective approach with bills, but sometimes it works out okay with unknown rashes.  But, you know what else I keep ignoring that just won’t vanish?  A-Rod and Kate Hudson stories.

So, let’s just put it out there — these two idiots are dating.  Personally, I think it’s a match made in STD heaven, but some of the Yankees’ wives — and you know it’s the Yankees’ wives talking when they are identified in print as “someone connected to the team” — aren’t so delighted.  “First we dealt with all the Madonna mayhem, now we’re on to Kate. It’s distracting.  And they haven’t even been together that long.  It’s not like there’s a problem with wives or girlfriends going to games.  But a lot of us agree that this is a little much. They’re barely dating, and it’s all about Kate.”  

Wow.  Women can be such catty little wenches.

Last month, when Vegas entertainer Danny Gans passed away so suddenly and at such a young age, most people thought he had suffered a heart attack.  The toxicology reports are now in and have concluded that he passed from an accidental overdose to pain medication prescribed for a chronic pain condition, coupled with a pre-existing heart condition.

Don’t doctors check for these things?  Kind of makes me rethink these Percocets I’ve been taking for the past few days.

It’s only been a couple months since Liam Neeson tragically lost his wife Natasha Richardson.  If you’ve ever lost a spouse, you know that the early days after their death seem like a fog.  I suspect that Liam Neeson is in no condition to be making career decisions right now.

I, for one, am blaming that fog of grief for Neeson’s desire to be cast in an A-Team movie, based on the 1980′s show.  What other reason could their be for such misguided and cloudy judgment?

Liam would take on the late George Peppard’s role of Colonel Hannibal Smith in the Ridley Scott production.  Let’s hope salary negotiations break down.

Speaking of Ridley Scott, he’s currently working on that Robin Hood moviewith Russell Crowe and that’s shaping up to be a disaster as well.  The flick, originally titled Nottingham, but now untitled, has had its share of drama.  Sienna Miller was fired, Russell Crowe was too fat, script rewrites and a fired director.  New reports claim that Scott and Crowe are constantly fighting and shutting down production — a practice that leads to huge budget overages for any movie.

What is the lesson in all this?  Remakes — bad!

Kim Kardashian sported a new look as she participated in a photo shoot for my all-time favorite magazine, O. 

Ken Paves, the ridiculous stylist responsible for Jessica Simpson’s Texas hair as well as the sale of clip-on hair extensions,  styled Kim’s wig for the shoot. 

What do we think of Kim with short hair?  Her natural hair is so beautiful — not so sure what I think of this helmet of hair.

Britney Spears is in London with her Circus tour right now but still took time out to announce that she has six dates set to perform in Australia this November.  This will be her first time touring there. 

Are the Aussies excited?  Is Brit as popular there?

See?  Not one “going down” or “going down under” joke.  That, my friends, is restraint.
