Here’s a photo of Madonna and daughter Lourdes at the launch of their new fashion line, and seeing as how these guys are smart designers now, I just wanted to take a moment to analyze their ensembles. When I first saw this picture, my first thought was “Oh, that’s nice – Lourdes is a grunge era hooker and Madonna is her no-nonsense, more classy pimp.” And I stand by that. If you don’t see it, just take a look at Lourde’s peekaboo flannel and Madonna’s leather gloves. Now picture a dramatic slow-motion scene (I’m thinking with “Polly” by Nirvana in the background) of Madonna yelling at Lourdes about profits and appearances and “young lady, do you think those torn tights are going to bring in the dough?” And then you’ll be where I am.
That scenario aside (along with the fishnets and leather gloves), I think Madonna’s dress is actually pretty great, but I cannot get past Lourde’s flannel and studded leather to seriously analyze her style. What do you guys think? Does this make you want to buy some clothes these ladies designed?
That didn’t mean Lohan had to take admission seriously. As she composed her draft at [LA restaurant] Magnolia, her pal gave suggestions on what words to use. “They kept reading it over; they were clearly architecting it to make it more personal,” says the onlooker. “Her friend would say, ‘No, use “setback,” don’t say “mistake.” They’ll say you make mistakes all the time!” Continued the friend: “It’s better to say you’re responsible. Denying it will just get everyone mad per usual.” Lohan’s response: “She giggled!” says the source, then motioned for her assistant to order another Jack and Coke.
After they sent the final missive to Rudolph for approval, Lohan’s pal rubbed her shoulders supportively. “But Lindsay wasn’t emotional,” says the witness. “She shrugged and said, ‘This is how it is in this industry – you fail, you get up.” The four-time rehab attendee even joked about drinking that night, telling her friends, “What are you gonna do? I’m ill” – making air quotes with her fingers.
Apparently Lindsay’s not as intelligent as we’ve all given her credit for over the past few weeks. And maybe daddy Michael Lohan was right on one thing — her “friends”? Total fucking shit. These people should be ashamed of themselves for even remotely being enablers — even in a small capacity — in her life. Shame on them, and shame on Lindsay for not knowing the difference.
If you’ve been following what Katy Perry’s been doing over the past few days for some reason, then you’ll know that her guest appearance on the kid-watched Sesame Street has been pulled from it’s originally-scheduled timeslot on New Years’ Eve 2010.
Why? Um, because several parents phoned in and claimed that Perry’s tits were too distracting and her very presence sexualized everything just a bit too much on Sesame Street. The official statement?:
Unlike the Late Show appearance of a year ago, Joaquin Phoenix sat with David Letterman on his show last night and discussed the ruse that he and director/producter/brother-in-law Casey Affleck had created and participated in over the past eighteen months.
Letterman, who kind of seemed like he had a good-natured chip on his shoulder about the whole thing, asked Phoenix questions like, ‘What were you thinking,’ ‘Why did you do this,’ and claimed that the previous interview was just ‘so much fun.’
Phoenix responded that he and Affleck wanted to portray what the relationship was like between the media, celebrity and consumer, and wanted to underscore the personal eccentricities that some celebrities put on in an effort to separate themselves from the rest and ensuring their part in stardom.
Dave said it best — ‘It was a theatrical ruse.’
I don’t know about you, but I’m just glad it’s over. I’m stoked that I can start looking at Joaquin now and not think that he’s got lice and scabies crawling throughout his beard and pubic hair. Because that was a really unfortunate time in my life.
Everyone’s freaking out over the announcement that Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler will be taking over the spots formerly held by Ellen and Simon Cowell on the American Idol judges panel, but I think they’re the perfect choices.
Steven Tyler has always been one of the most fun performers to watch on and off the stage and he knows his music. Jennifer Lopez has exactly what Paula had, a strong background in dance and a successful crossover to both singing and acting. Both judges are at the top of their game in their respective fields, pulling in millions in record and product sales and have clearly defined brands. In a way, J.Lo and Steven feel even more legitimate than Paula ever did… and since when does the country turn to Ellen when selecting what music to listen to? Please. If we can’t have the original Randy/Paula/Simon set-up, then this is about as good as it’s going to get.
But for argument’s sake, who would you have liked to have seen get the gig? I still think Howard Stern would have crushed it.
I saw these pictures of Jamie Oliver holding his new little baby boy, Buddy Bear (seriously) and couldn’t help but notice that it looked like the little guy’s neck was about to snap off. Even though Jamie is a father of four, he still hasn’t picked up on the importance of neck support.
Dude, give the kid a chance. Even if he forgives you for that name, he’s still going to have a whole host of spinal issues.
I would like to tell you that the term “retard” is very offensive to me. I am not offended because I ASSUME it would offend someone who has mental retardation. I am offened on how the word came to...
I am not offended that Rosie has a fear or anxiety of LP. I feel that when someone knows very little about things and or people they tend to be anxious. Think about it if you had never been around someone...
