I don’t know about you, but I’ve certainly had fun watching the Khloe Kardashian wedding registry be reported every step of the way. One day TMZ was excitedly reporting the addition of a panini maker to their Williams-Sonoma wish list and the next day they’re letting us know that all that’s been scooped up by wedding guests is a set of bowls and a lousy cheese knife. However, we’ve got another update and this one is all too telling.

Turns out that the majority of the gifts that have been purchased from Geary’s in Beverly Hills for Kardashian and her hubby to be, Lamar Odom are alcohol related. The round-up from TMZ is as follows:

- Baccarat Harmonie Square Decanter – $1,075
- Grande Champagne Bucket – $750
- Harcourt Square Whiskey Decanter – $985
- Folio Champagne Cooler – $750
- 2 Vesta Champagne Flutes – $179 … EACH!

Those are definitely more pricey items than the shot glasses from the Chicago airport gift shop and handful of wine keys leftover from my days waiting tables in college, but I guess these gifts make sense for the couple that racked up a $3,000 bar tab on their first date (Gee! I wonder if they slept together that night…)

Susan Atkins, one of the original members of The Manson Family, Charles Manson’s posse of murderers, has passed away after a long battle with brain cancer. Atkins was one of the women sent to kill actress Sharon Tate and has claimed for years that she would have never committed such a crime had it not been for the brainwashing that Manson subjected her to, combined with the massive amount of drugs that she was doing at the time. In 2002, Atkins sat down for this interview with Diane Sawyer that I immediately remembered when I heard the news of her death today. For those of you who are not familiar with this story or that might need a refresher course, this is a great clip for you to watch.

While it’s hard to forgive someone for murder under any circumstances, I do believe it’s a shame that Atkins was so sick at her final parole hearing on September 2nd that she had to be wheeled in the the courtroom on a gurney and was still denied release. At the time of death, Atkins was 61 years old. She was the first to die out of those imprisoned for the murders. Manson, and three others, remain in prison today.

Yesterday in Los Angeles was the 1st Annual Power of Women Luncheon hosted by Variety and Lifetime. When I first read about the event I rolled my eyes thinking “Who would attend that? It’s probably going to be Tori Spelling, Carmen Electra and Tila Tequila sharing a table in the corner and trading tips to maintain relevancy and unhealthy eating habits.” Well, turns out your ol’ Molls is a big idiot. Not only was the turn out amazingly A-list, but everyone was looking fabulous. Check out the gallery below to see Christina Aguilera. Oliva Wilde, Jamie Lee Curtis and Christina Applegate looking fresh, beautiful and confident.

Lindsay Lohan had a press day for the upcoming event she’s hosting, F1 Rocks, a huge three day music festival in Singapore that’s featuring everyone from No Doubt to Black Eyed Peas. It’s a pretty sweet gig for the one-time A-lister who now has been reduced to practically begging for bit parts in major releases and accepting leading roles in straight-to-DVD disappointments, so I’m sure she was told by her publicist and girlfriend alike to show up and keep a smile on her face. She did just that and spoke about everything from her extensive knowledge of NASCAR to what it was like to shoot a gun for the first time in her life on the set of Machete, something that she surprisingly did not enjoy as much as I’d think she would.

Most of the interview is the standard– monotonous answers to monotonous questions– however she does give us a little insight to her crazy in the last moments of the clip. “I think you live life to its fullest and learn from the mistakes. I think it’s really important to experience life in every different way and anyone can pull through anything,” says the girl in her early twenties with two rehab stints, forty hair colors and countless public breakdowns under her belt. Ahhh. God bless ya, Lindz.

Drew Barrymore always gives a good interview and the new piece about her in Parade Magazine is no exception. Some of the best quotes from the piece are already floating around the Internets, so I’ve compiled them here for your enjoyment. I know, I’m a goddess.

• On her rocky love life and the “end” of sexual relationships: “Sexual love is secondary to me right now. I’ve spent a lot of time in my life dedicating myself to love or the pursuit of love or the understanding of love. But for the last few years, my life just hasn’t been about that for me.”
• On forgiving her mother for her rocky childhood and moving on from it in her art: “I used to pull a lot emotionally from all the stuff with my family, but I did not do this movie to cleanse myself of the mother-daughter debacle that happened in my life. I have been much more objective about my childhood and my relationship with my mother in these last few years. I used to be more attached to all that. I won’t deny that the baggage was there at one point.”
• On feeling all grown up: “I’ve always wondered what it felt like to be an adult, because I’ve always had to mother myself. I think maybe I finally am one.”

Well, that’s all just great. I can never really stop myself from being happy for Drew, who I believe genuinely tries at everything she does, occasionally to the point of annoyance, but hey! At least she’s trying, right? However, I do think it’s a shame she’s mentions that “sexual love” is secondary right now, especially when she’s publicly dating someone. Now all I can think is “Oh God, Justin Long is sexually unsatisfied. That’s sad… and kind of gross to think about.” Who knows if that’s true, but maybe Drew will feel inspired to chose her words more carefully after that little comment.

Britney’s custody order for ther two children with Kevin Federline, Sean Preston and Jayden James, has been extended for the rest of her tour. The two arranged for a 50/50 split (which, by the way, looks like a permanent arrangement, which is great for a mother who was destined to lose custody of her kids all together just a couple years ago) and what does that mean for Britney? Shelling out lots of dough to her doughy ex.

I don’t know why the figures surprise me, but I have to say that I was floored when I saw that not only does Britney have to put her ex up at hotels when he tours with her in order to get in his share of QT with the kids, but that she pays him twenty grand a month in child support and then another twenty-twenty five grand a month when she takes them out of the state of California. Yup! She’s paying him to spend time with her own kids out of state.

I generally think it’s tacky to comment on other people’s alimony, child support, custody and divorce settlements because they are so personal and often individualized for the needs of the couple and children and therefor not fair to toss the blanket of judgment on top of but MAN! Despite K-Fed’s about-face during Britney’s break down and their seemingly amicable relationship, I don’t know that anyone deserves forty five thousand dollars a month to raise their own babies, especially if such a sizable bonus comes from them being out of state with their own mother.
