And the age-old debate goes on about whether or not it’s “appropriate” for the Pitt-Jolies to allow their four-year-old daughter to continually cavort in boys’ clothing.

Us Weekly released a photograph of young Shiloh playing in a pool with her sister Zahara, wearing what can only be described as a pair of boys’ shorts and a gold necklace.

Naturally, the shit has started about “Angelina and Brad encouraging androgyny,” and “parenting gone awry,” but you know what the bigger picture is here? Why the fuck is some skeevy photographer lurking in the bushes, trying to take photographs of the Pitt-Jolie kids while they swim? I think that’s the biggest point that people are missing today. I personally don’t care what Shiloh decides to do as she gets older — it’s not as if it’s something we haven’t seen before — and Brad and Angelina’s parenting methods are of no concern to me (they’re not my children, after all), and yes, I think that people are looking way too far into the fact that Shiloh, a four-year-old girl, is wearing boys’ swimming trunks rather than the fact that there’s some BS picture-taker-of-children floating around, allowing these photos of a private family’s outing to run in a national magazine.

Priorities, people, priorities.

After completing her stint on Celebrity Rehab (which is essentially a joke), Rachel Uchitel has decided to take her treatment for drinking, smoking and pill poppin’ a bit more seriously. Tiger Woods and David Boreanaz’s former mistress is using her hush money to get straight and those fancy rehab centers built for celeb types? Far from cheap.

Rachel is spending over 20 grand to house herself and her dogs in a Malibu rehab for 30 days. Sounds more like an extended vacation (and for that amount, why not go somewhere more tropical), but if her sobriety sticks, I’ll be rooting for her. Granted, I totally think this woman is a scab on humanity, but I do really respect her using this time and money to rid herself of her demons. That shows potential.

Anyone hear about that movie coming out in November, Skyline? It actually doesn’t look horrible. Who am I kidding. This shit’s going to suck. [Pajiba]

If you weren’t convinced that Taylor Momsen is a complete idiot before, you should be now. [Celebitchy]

Have you seen The Jane Austen Fight Club? [Zelda Lily]

Oh, how cute. Selena Gomez is trying to be interesting. [Allie is Wired]

I’d say ‘What a fun photo shoot this looks to be!’ but I can’t stop staring at the idiocy that is this new Transformers chick’s mouth. Lay off the Restalyne cocktails for breakfast, sweetie. [Amy Grindhouse]

Everybody hates Naomi Campbell. And it’s not because she’s violent — it’s because she’s an idiot. [Betty Confidential]

Stephen Colbert is pretty impressive. [OMGBlog]

Two out of the three schmoes in this photograph made me laugh last night’s gin and tonics off. All four of them. [Celebrity Smack Blog]

“People laugh at me. Sometimes I know why, and sometimes I don’t. But I can pretty much find humor in anything. That is a necessary part of life. I don’t want to say laughter is healing, because it sounds corny, but it’s a release.”

Earlier this week Sean Penn blasted Wyclef Jean for running for the president of Haiti, as did Wyclef’s former Fugees band mate Pras. Sean and Pras seem to think that Wyclef’s run is more self-serving than anything. Sean was quoted as saying, “This is somebody who’s going to receive an enormous amount of his support, if he continues this campaign, from the United States. I have to say, I’m very suspicious of it, simply because he, as an ambassador-at-large, has been virtually silent. For those of us in Haiti, he has been a non-presence.”

Wyclef has now responded to Sean’s remarks, which was probably good practice, because it seems like he’ll be having to defend himself quite a bit throughout this campaign.

“The first thing I’d like to say to Sean Penn is that the area which he operates in Haiti is one area in particular. He hasn’t seen me for six months—I’ve been going to Haiti for over five years…I am not absent in Haiti, maybe the tent city you’re in, maybe I’m absent in that…My country is not a city of tents, meaning I can’t use the excuse of people living in tents to say that I’m going to make Haiti a better place. I would like to tell Sean Penn I do not react on emotions when it comes to the Haitian people. I do not have to sacrifice my life and live inside of the tents to prove I am for the Haitian people.”

Ummm, well. I don’t know if that’s the most convincing argument, but it’s a valid one. Personally, I’m not for celebrities blending into government because I just know that more often than not, celebrities are a little bit removed from “the people” in exactly the way that a politician shouldn’t be. Even if they do everything in their power to stay down-to-Earth, after someone has experienced a certain amount of fame (not success, fame), it’s nearly impossible for them to remove themselves from it or even scale back on their lifestyle. That may not be what a recovering country needs in a new prez.

Fashion blogging legend and daughter of the Material Girl Lourdes “Lola” Leon was spotted in London, England sporting her usually eclectic style. I don’t know what the more mainstream cats and kittens think of this look, but I think it’s fun and probably pretty comfortable while still looking interesting. It turns out that having Madonna’s creative genes (as well as access to her bank account) is a pretty good thing.
