A photo of Courtney Love

Courtney Love has this super fancy townhouse in New York. It was built in 1827, rent is $27,000 a month, and it was so impeccably decorated by interior designer Steven Gambrel that it was featured in Elle Decor and there was a special section in the lease that dictated that no changes should be made to the interior. Sounds pretty fancy, right?

Well, I’m sure it was before Courtney got a hold of it. According to the owner of the house, Donna Lyon, things have gone downhill since Courtney moved in around 10 months ago:

“Courtney has wallpapered and painted a large portion of the property without my consent. I learned about this when I wanted to sell the house and had photographs taken. They sent me the brochure and I said, ‘This can’t be my property.’ I came to New York to see it and I was horrified by what she had done. The walls that had been hand-painted and glazed were ruined, covered in damask wallpaper and ice-blue paint.”

In June, Love scorched her hands after a candle set a curtain on fire in the master bedroom. Lyon said, “I got a call from her accountant, who said, ‘Miss Love is fine,’ which I was glad to hear, but I thought, ‘What about the house?’ ”

Lyon said Love is currently $54,000 behind on the $324,000 annual rent. A court date has been set for Dec. 21 in Manhattan’s civil court.

Lyon’s lawyer, Norman Flitt of Rosenberg & Estis, said Love, “Has taken a historical house done by a recognized designer, and has taken upon herself to redecorate it. It Is tantamount to destroying a work of art.”

Oh, Courtney. I wish I could say that I expected more from you, but … well, you understand. I’m actually kind of proud that wallpapering your home, accidentally setting fire to it, and getting behind on rent is the extent of the problem here.

A photo of Katy Perry

I know, it’s only been a few weeks since we last mused about the state of Katy Perry‘s uterus, but this is all the kids are talking about these days. It’s all about Katy Perry’s womb and Miley Cyrus’ boobs and Lindsay Lohan’s cooch, and I can’t do anything about that, ok?

But let’s get down to business here: do you think this lady is pregnant or not? To be fair, I’m sure any woman (or, ok, almost any woman) would have at least a little tummy in that dress that Katy’s wearing. And she’s still saying that the tummy came from Taco Bell:

I don’t know though. She and Russell Brand did jump into marriage pretty fast, and they’ve been married for over a year now, so a baby wouldn’t be too crazy. There’s also been some divorce rumors circulating about the couple, so maybe this is their way to put those rumors to rest. And in one of those pictures down there, Katy is touching her stomach, and you know what that means …

Is Katy Perry pregnant?

Photo: Christian Bale Back in California (Dec. 7)

Christian Bale has been in China for the premiere of his movie, The Flowers of War, which is about the Rape of Nanking.

Yesterday the socially-minded actor attempted to visit the home of Chen Guangcheng, a civil rights activist who has been under house arrest for a year. Bale was accompanied by a CNN film crew and had driven eight hours to the activist’s home.

There, guards stopped Bale and the crew just outside the house. The Huffington Post:

When Bale approached Chen’s house, he was met by an escalating number of guards…. Punches were thrown and shoving ensued as he, along with the CNN camera crew, tried to push his way way through to the house.

According to CNN‘s current front page, a “high-speed car chase ensues.”

Here’s the kicker, according to HuffPo: The movie Flowers of War was funded, in part, by the Chinese government. It’s no wonder Bale expected to be given a “pass” to see the housebound Chinese activist.

In three of the best (YMMV) sitcoms on television—Happy Endings, How I Met Your Mother, and Up All Night—the character ensemble is supposed to be very “young” and “hip” and “with-it” when it comes to pop culture.

But sometimes lazy scriptwriting takes over, and the mere mention of a celebrity’s name is supposed to inspire raucous laughter.

Which celebrities are punchlines? Gwyneth Paltrow. Edward James Olmos. Ian Ziering. Basically, anyone you feel kind of weird about liking.

Oh, no, it isn’t all bad. In a way, the little namedrops do double-duty: they make the episodes feel very topical, but they also establish the characters as being credibly “real,” slightly snarky people.

The namedrops are great simile-shorthand, too: “They’re like Vaughn and Favreau in there”? I actually know exactly what that means.

And by the way? If the Stop Online Piracy Act passes, I will never be able to post a great video—like the one of Sean Bean dying repeatedly—ever again. I can’t live like that. Call your congressperson.

A photo of Kim Kardashian

As you all know, Kim Kardashian had a big fancy wedding and, as such, also had a big fancy registry. For instance, you could buy the happy couple a set of plates for only $12,000! But you also know that Kim’s marriage lasted just 72 days. So what happened to all those fancy gifts?

Surely she returned them, right? Her wedding guests received a package a couple months after the wedding that contained their diamond studded napkin rings with a note that said “LOL sorry about the sham of a wedding XOXOXOXOXO,” surely. Or, if not, Kim donated the items to charity. It has to be one of those.

Oh, you mean she just traded in a bunch of gifts and got Rolexes instead? That’s cool too, I guess.
