Quotables September 21, 2009WendieJohn Krasinski "So many people say, 'You know when you know,' and it's true. It's all true." The Office's John Krasinksi on the Emmy red carpet talking about the bond with his girlfriend of 10 months, (now fiancee) Emily Blunt. God, I love John Krasinski. He's so absolutely cute and even though he's marrying her, I'm totally open to a little extra-marital action. John, are you listening?...
Courtney Love Got Pissed Off September 21, 2009WendieCourtney Love So, Courtney Love was peeing -- shouldn't all Courtney Love stories start out that way? -- and someone walked in on her. Big deal, right? She was partying at Standard Hotel Saturday night, used the bathroom and didn't lock the door because she's an idiot. Some pharamcist dude named Sebastian Karnaby was trying to leave the same party and opened the bathroom door thinking it was an exit, but instead walked in on Courtney sitting on a toilet with her skirt around her ankles -- no word if there was a mirror or white powd...
What Did You Think of The Emmys? September 21, 2009WendieUncategorized Did anyone watch the Emmys broadcast? It was really boring! I thought Neil Patrick Harris did a great job as host. They gave him suckass material -- that bit with the guest who kept getting bad seats ... what was that about? -- yet he managed to make the commentary not feel completely painful. He was actually quite funny. I thought the dance routine between Maksim Chmerkovskiy and ex-fiancee Karina Smirnoff was really good despite the pre-performance battle they were engaged in....
Zooey Deschanel Marries Rock Dude September 21, 2009WendieBen Gibbard, Zooey Deschanel 500 Days of Summer actress Zooey Deschanel married Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard on Saturday night near Seattle. I've only become familiar with Zooey's work recently, but I really like her. She was on Top Chef Masters a few weeks ago -- God, that show sucked. Beyond having more food restrictions than I have (no gluten or soy and she's vegan), she seems to be very likable and down to earth. Anyway, I'm trying to imagine what their wedding reception meal was like. Water, arugula and strawberries? Congrats to the happy...
Hoff’s On The Sauce September 21, 2009WendieDavid Hasselhoff Aw, man. It seems like our favorite America's Got Talent judge has fallen Hoff the wagon. Yesterday afternoon David Hasselhoff's 17-year-old daughter Hayley called her mother to complain that Daddy was drunk. Really drunk. 911 was summoned and Hoff was hauled away to the hospital. It was expected that he would be released last night. It's sad that David can't seem to stay sober. If there's a silver lining in all of this, at least this episode of drunkenness wasn't videotaped....
The Emmy Dresses: Part III September 20, 2009Evil BeetEmmy dresses And we've got EVEN MORE gorgeous dresses from the Emmy red carpet. I'm completely blown away by Blake Lively's look -- I think this is both creative and stunning.

The Emmy Dresses: Part II September 20, 2009Evil BeetEmmy dresses Love love love love LOVE January Jones' dress. AMAZING. I'm obsessed with this look. Sarah Silverman is, per usual, a giant fail. I bet she's wearing sneakers underneath that thing. Sarah, I love you, I think you're a comedic genius and support you in all you do, but can you PLEASE just ONCE live up to your potential on the red carpet? Hire Rachel Zoe. Just for one day. Please? A bunch more looks from the carpet are below. For even more, check out part one of the Emmy dresses. ...
Suzanne Somers: “Patrick Swayze Was Poisoned” September 20, 2009KellyPatrick Swayze, Suzanne Somers I love it when celebs pontificate on complex issues such as Middle Eastern politics or life-saving medical treatment, as if being able to cry on cue makes them an expert in every field. Suzanne Somers is particularly adroit at this method of putting her perky little foot in her perky little mouth. Recently, Somers -- whose oncological experience consists of one season of Three's Company and stage kissing Patrick Duffy -- asserted that Patrick Swayze died not from pancreatic cancer, but ...
Papa John’s Ukranian Compromise September 20, 2009KellyElton John Monday, Wendie reported that Elton John's request to adopt a Ukranian boy named Lev were rejected by the Ukranian government because their adoption laws require any prospective adoptive parent to be married, and Ukraine does not recognize homosexual unions as marriage. But it seems that the issue is not as straightforward as all that. In addition to being too gay, John is also too old, and too foreign. The child also has a mother and an older brother, and therefore is not even eligible for adopti...
The Emmy Dresses: Part I September 20, 2009Evil BeetEmmy dresses It's beginning!!! The Emmys don't actually start for a couple more hours, but you better believe we already have some action on the red carpet. It's 102 degrees in Los Angeles this afternoon, and celebs started showing up earlier than ever, some hitting the carpet by 2:30 or 3 pm. We've started to get photos in of all the dresses, and we'll post the rest when we have 'em. So far my faves are Olivia Wilde (she is always one of my faves) and Heidi Klum, who chose to wear an uber tight-fitting dress around her uber pregnant belly, and I think she loo...
Jennifer’s Body- Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Body, that is September 20, 2009KellyJennifer Love Hewitt Well, it's happened again; needless and debatably immoral airbrushing on the cover of a magazine. And just like last time, it's yet another "women's health" magazine that claims to focus on "Diet, Fitness, and Healthy Eating." Jennifer Love Hewitt appears on the cover of the October issue of Shape magazine. Now, she is by no means an overweight woman, but even so, this health and fitness magazine airbrushed her size 2 ass. You can see the October cover on the left and pictures of a slightly hipp...
Paula Abdul: The Definition of Grace and Class September 20, 2009KellyPaula Abdul Oh, Paula. Is there anything sadder than this devastatingly un-funny send-up of the popular, successful, funny, sober woman who took your job? It's just a bit of goodnatured ribbing with really poor timing, right? It doesn't at all smack of bitterness. Oh, Paula....
