Puppetry of the Penis!

Tonight Trish and I went to see Puppetry of the Penis here in Seattle. And, first off, I would like to give mad props to Trish for being the only one of my so-called "friends" out here to agree to go with me. She was, in fact, the only one to even return my email about it. My other "friends" in Seattle are loooosers (makes L-shape with hand on forehead). If you guys have never heard of Puppetry of the Penis, it is basically just these two Australian dudes butt-naked on stage making shape...

Jamie-Lynn’s Baby Shower a Drama-Free Event

No upskirts. No alcohol. And, so far, no reports of insider photos being shopped out to the tabloids. On Saturday, JLS had her baby shower at the family's Serenity complex in Louisiana. We've got conflicting reports of the attendees from different sources. E! says that there were both men and women, most teenaged and early twenties, while People magazine says it was an all-girl affair, with Casey Aldridge's mom present as well as Lynne and Britney Spears. In typical Louisiana style, there w...

Look Who’s Helping!

Here's Reese Witherspoon, an Avon Global Ambassador (whatever that means) joining participants at the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer event in DC. Meanwhile, Leo and I spent the afternoon at his very first day of school! That's right: puppy kindergarten! Leo was the smallest kid in his class by about 15 pounds, I think. The other puppies were a little more experienced, but Leo learned to sit and come, so I was very proud of him. He has still not learned how to avoid peeing on the floor, because h...

Gretchen Wilson Gets Edumacated

Congrats to country star Gretchen Wilson, who has officially proved herself the academic equal of Jamie-Lynn Spears. The 34-year-old, who dropped out of high school after ninth grade, passed the GED in April, and will graduate on May 15. Gretchen says the reason she decided to get her GED was her seven-year-old daughter. "I certainly don't want her to think you can be this successful without an education." It's funny; I've always been a huge proponent of higher education, but, afte...

Iron Man Kicks Some Box Office Ass

Despite well-publicized concerns that its audience was going to be home playing the new Grand Theft Auto game rather than going to the movies, Iron Man killed it at the box office this weekend. The film is expected to bring in around $104.3 million this weekend -- not quite Aquaman numbers, but enough to put it in front of the openings of almost all other comic book films ever. It's the 10th biggest movie opening in history. I guess you guys really liked Gwyneth Paltrow's legs. ...

Who’s In Love with Emile Hirsch?

The nerdy heartthrob poses with Christina Ricci at the Tribeca screening of Speed Racer. I, for one, don't see the appeal here. There seems to be a huge trend of the new heartthrobs being these kind of nerdy boys. It just doesn't work for me. I like the traditional leading man -- tall, dark and handsome. Is that so wrong? Is crushing on classically hot dudes passe now? And Christina Ricci is all of five feet tall. Granted, she's wearing heels, but there's just no way this guy is talle...

Still Going Strong!

Despite the constant rumors -- which seem to have reached a crescendo lately -- that there is trouble a-brewin' in Chez Cruise, Tom and Katie seem very much the happy couple as they leave a Broadway show this weekend. I dunno, I kind of think I'm starting to go to the dark side: I'm beginning to think this relationship might be for real. Like, they might both be total loons, but I think for the most part they're happily married loons. And Tom may still be gay as the day is long, but he's ...

Lindsay Lohan Secures Guest Spot on Ugly Betty

I really had to hold myself back from titling this post "Things Get Ugly for Lindsay Lohan," because a) that's what everyone else is going to be doing and b) it would just make you guys think this was a post about Samantha Ronson. Anyway, it's apparently confirmed that Lindsay will be appearing on the Ugly Betty season finale, and may actually be signing on for a multi-episode guest arc -- up to eight episodes. Producers there are no doubt looking at what Britney did for HIMYM, and hoping ...

Kentucky Derby Pics!!!

Okay, as bummed out as I am that little Eight Belles had to be put down, and as much as I'm growing increasingly frustrated with the entire "sport" of thoroughbred horse racing, I have to admit, I love love love checking out what people wear to this event. The costumes are always so fabulous! Here's Chelsea Clinton looking quite glam at the derby. Jump inside for more photos from this event, including Molly Sims, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, Adrian Grenier and some whore, Hugh Hefner and the ...
