So I was browsing through Courtney Love’s TwitPic album and I decided to pull the pictures and share them here with you because WOOOOO-BOY!

Courtney Love is kind of amazing when you think of her as an artist and a woman who was mentally buckwild her entire life and managed to somehow bring that to music. I really do admire her in a lot of ways… and then I remember that she’s quite famously a mother. And quite famously a bad one, at that. Looking at these pictures, it’s no wonder everyone’s always up in arms about her. It’s not just that she’s this crazy, free-spirited addict of a woman, it’s that she’s all of these things and supposedly was, at one point anyway, in charge of a life.

Thank God Frances Bean is out, that’s all I’m saying.

Punk’d. Justin Bieber is going to be the new host of Punk’d.

This news hit me in waves.  I was like “oh, I always love Justin Bieber news.  Wait, they’re bringing back Punk’d?  I wonder if Ashton … oh no!”  And then my brain synced all the information together, and then it promptly exploded.  That’s how great this news is.

Things aren’t set in stone yet – according to the original article, Bieber “has been all but officially tapped as the host” of the revival of Punk’d.  And just in case you’re wondering, good ol’ Ashton Kutcher is going to be on hand as the executive producer of the show, so natch Ashton would be dropping by for some on-air shenanigans.  Let’s just take a moment to consider the overwhelming douchiness that would invade the entire planet with the prankster team of Bieber and Kutcher. And now let’s consider the “celebrities” that weren’t famous when the original edition of Punk’d was around …

Justin Bieber and Ashton Kutcher are going to bring about the End Times by pranking the entire cast of Jersey Shore and releasing the most powerful douchiness the world has ever known at once in 2012.  And that’s just the way it’s going to have to be.

Unless you can look as “good” and as “fierce” as Kate Gosselin does while she picks up her (omgwtf) dry cleaning, you’ll never be as good. Or as famous. Or, um, as obnoxious.  And you?  You should be thankful for that.  Really.

If you’re wondering if I have something against Kate, you wondered right. I think she’s an overblown, fame-seeking, shithead-control-freak of a mother, who’s only sincere claim to fame is the ability to so shamelessly whore out her personal problems, henceforth attracting an audience with enough trainwreck-y voyeuristic tendencies to be curious about her life.  And that’s all.

I’m just, you know, saying.

Nice heels, Kate.

“Does desire melt away with age? I’m waiting for that day to come. Sexual desire is like aging [she points to her head]. A lot of it is up here … I don’t have a fella, but if Allen – or Robert Redford – were around, we’d have a very active sex life.”

Betty White on her apparent drive for sex, despite the fact that she’s eighty-eight years old. You go, Betty, and take a few for the team. I mean, all of your teammates are in their late eighties as well, and some of them just can’t take any for the team, let alone themselves.

Well, as far as a lot of people are concerned, it’s a general step down in the looks department considering she’s been with Ryan Gosling, Josh Lucas, and Ben Jackson, but hey.  Different strokes for different folks, eh?

The man’s name is Michael Sheen, and I only know him from Kingdom of Heaven, but he’s apparently got a pretty impressive body. Of work, that is. He was, incidentally, the rabbit in 2009′s Alice in Wonderland, and if you aren’t already smitten just because he’s captured the romantic attentions of the always-lovely Rachel McAdams, here’s another reason for you to dig him: he’s involved in the upcoming Twilight flick as character Aro Volturi.

So, see? Apparently all movie stars aren’t as superficial as they might seem. This guy’s a step up in my book. Or at least a step laterally, because come on … Ryan Gosling is the hotness and not much can top him.

Except for Adrien Brody. He can top anyone — myself included — any day.

“I’ve been told I’m too forthright with opinions. Well do they want a fierce woman or milquetoast? Should I be me, or should I pretend to be something I think people want? Pretending seems pretty ridiculous to me. I didn’t think that what I was was so bad that I needed to hide it.”

- Katherine Heigl getting real.

If you read the interview, it’s pretty clear that the writer is on Katherine’s side.  He says that she’s “warm and genuine in person,” and he brushes off all those instances of diva attitude, claiming that Katherine “unwittingly created her image problem by being honest in interviews.”  Well, ok.  I mean, it’s obviously not like I know the woman, and I don’t really have strong feelings about her at all (except for when I go through my biannual Johnny Knoxville obsession and watch The Ringer a couple of times a week for a month, then I halfway care about her), but I think that when the people you work with feel the need to make public statements about how unprofessional and undeserving you are, then maybe there’s a problem.

By the way, and I can’t cite this or anything so you’re just going to have to trust me, but if you listen to the commentary of The Ringer with Johnny Knoxville, the director, the screenwriter, a producer, and a couple other actors (not including Katherine Heigl), there’s this bit where they’re talking about how awesome she was.  They’re all “Katie!  Katie Heigl!  Love her!” and then Johnny Knoxville’s like “yeah, she was great before she got all -” and the director cuts him off with a quiet “hey, let’s not do that,” and then Johnny does this pointed little “SO ANYWAY” move.  Suspicious, right?

The point is, Katherine, there’s a comfortable space between being completely passive and a raving bitch, and if a good number of the people you’ve worked with think you’re leaning towards the latter, then maybe it’s time to check yourself.
