Last week, Sarah let you guys know which celebrities are cat people. It turns out that now we can add Robert Downey Jr. to the list, because a few months ago RDJ and his wife adopted a couple of kittens. And he would die for them:

“To understand the way cats play and fight is to understand the secrets of the universe. It’s to understand Wing Chun, to understand the palace tradition, to understand yoga. I would kill for these young, sweet little feline souls, these two boys. I would protect them with my life. Eighteen months ago, I’m saying, ‘I don’t want any rescue pets within 100 yards of either of my residences, I’m sorry. I don’t want some, like, tripod, abused animal.’ I was adamantly opposed to the whole idea. And now I couldn’t imagine living without them. I’ve become one of those people where the Missus is like, ‘They don’t want to see iPhone pictures of our kittens right now. Stop it.’ And I can’t watch those commercials [for animal cruelty prevention] anymore. They kill me.”

Ugh, just one more reason to love to love Robert Downey Jr., right? Well, except that part about hating rescue animals. “I don’t want some tripod, abused animal,” that’s kind of a dick thing to say in my book. It almost made me completely lose my starry eyes for him, right up until I read the part about him showing off pictures of his cats on his phone. Because I DID THAT TOO, ROBERT, I DID THAT ON CHRISTMAS WITH MY LITTLE GUINEA PIG. So are we BFF yet?

I said “of course” like that because this is completely magical news, and it’s only to be expected after how completely magical this whole month has been. Have you guys been feeling it? Think about it: this month we’ve gotten a slew of nudie pics from some ridiculously gorgeous women (and Lindsay Lohan!), we gotten into the holiday spirit, thanks to Courtney Stodden, and also, I’m getting married, you guys! I would say that he liked it, so he put a ring on it, but it’s not 2008 and I’m not That Girl. But it’s been such a good month, hasn’t it?

But this isn’t about me right now. This is about the beautiful Dolly Parton and her plans to pen an autobiographical musical for Broadway. She actually says that she’s in the process of writing the show right now, but that she probably won’t be acting in it when it hits Broadway. However, she did say that she’d “find a way to introduce it somehow, maybe the older me.” You just can’t keep Dolly Parton off a stage, you know.

For those of you lucky enough to have experienced the glory of Dollywood, this sounds a lot like Heartsong, doesn’t it? I wonder if you’ll get splashed with water or if leaves will fall as it turns autumn in the Great Smoky Mountains? My fingers are definitely crossed.

Taylor Lautner‘s gay, guys, thought you knew.

At least, according to this leaked allegedly-fake January 2012 issue, featuring Taylor Lautner on a cover emblazoned with the caption “Out and Proud! Tired of the rumors, the Twilight star opens up about his decision to finally come out.” The thing is, though, that People vehemently denies that this is an actual thing, but there’s no talk of lawsuits for … well, whatever legal term you’d use in suing someone for saying you’re gay when you’re not or publishing magazine covers fraudulently.

While yes, a rep for People has confirmed that the cover is “absolutely fake,” but that didn’t stop Taylor’s peers from Tweeting supporting comments. Russell Simmons stated “proud of Taylor Lautner for his bravery and his courage,” but later recanted his Tweet, saying “Disappointed that people would joke about someone coming out about their sexuality. Let Taylor Lautner be whoever he wants to be…”

Indeed. Let Taylor be whoever he wants to be. Even if it’s a totally hot, totally muscle-bound side of beef that I’d love a roll in the hay with regardless, who also uses really, really bad beards.

Yup, I spent the last few hours racking my brain over who the most obnoxious, most heinous celebrities were of 2011 and though there were probably, like, eighty-six I could have placed on this list (not including others from previous years that continue their douchebag reign well into the later parts of the decade), I decided on five.

#5 – Doug Hutchison

I know. I know. Some of you guys probably have a soft little spot in your hearts for Doug Hutchison because he just seems on the outskirts of fame, sometimes brushing shoulders with it, but mostly being cast side-long glances by people who matter because he’s so on the fringe that it’s impossible to pull him into the mainstream. And he’d almost be a sympathetic character if he weren’t f-cking a teenager. Because I don’t care how “young at heart” or “hip” you are; statutory rape is statutory rape, even if it’s consensual statutory rape, and that’s just creepy, yo.

#4 – Michael Lohan

There’s not really an explanation as to why Michael Lohan’s on this list. He kicks women in the cooter, is King Douchebag of the Lohan Clan, isn’t even tolerated by the most unstable Lohan, and was once married to Dina Lohan. Plus, he sucks at escaping police custody. Please. Doesn’t all of that give him a lifetime membership card to, like, be on this list for the rest of his time on earth?

#3 – Kanye West

Kanye’s a drama queen. A drama queen who freaks out over projectile pieces of paper and a drama queen who compares himself to Hitler. Kanye thinks he’s God’s gift to politics, women, music, and the economy, and the only ones douchier than Kanye himself are his fans.
