Paris Hilton's in NYC with Benji, who's guest DJing at a bunch of clubs for reasons that baffle me, other than the fact that these clubs shell out the money to get Benji to come and Paris shows up for free.
I like the first picture of Paris, because anyone who's actually occupied the same club as Paris Hilton will attest that this is the majority of what she does. Honestly, party time is like 80% about lip gloss application for her. I love that the photogs caught her in the act.
Oh, and she's totes not eating. ...
I know there's been a lot of posts on this website lately that seem to be poking fun of the McCain/Palin campaign. I know some people have a problem with it. And I know some people think I should come out and say where I stand on this election.
This is not a partisan website, nor is it on its way to becoming a partisan website.
I've been talking about John McCain and Sarah Palin frequently because they're the ones who have been fun to talk about lately. They are the ones who have been making choices and taking actions and giving interviews that are, frankly, amusing and broadly newsworthy, in one way or another. It's not that Barack Obama hasn't been doing things this month, it's just that he hasn't been doing very interesting things. He hasn't been newsworthy.
And I find that fascinating.
Six months ago, we all figured that Barack Obama would be the interesting candidate right now. That his campaign would be exciting. That we'd be hearing his words and his ideas and incessantly discussing his actions here, a month before the election. We thought, if nothing else, that Barack Obama would have the buzz. That there was no way an old white dude with zero skill as an orator could run a campaign anywhere near as enthralling -- as attention-grabbing -- as Barack Obama.
We figured wrong.
We, as a nation, have been talking entirely about the John McCain campaign for the past month, and all signs indicate that we'll be talking entirely about the John McCain campaign in the next month.
Take a step back and think about it.
How the fuck did he pull that shit off?
It's been brilliant. Phenomenal. And if what you're looking for is a leader with the experience, the team and the finesse to think outside the box and execute risky choices that tilt the axis of history in unexpected ways ... well, folks, that's exactly what John McCain is doing right now.
I'm just saying.
For the sake of non-partisanship, here's a video of Sarah Palin making an ass of herself for Katie Couric. And if John McCain dies while in office, this creature becomes the most powerful human being on the planet. I'm just saying. />

I know we're talking a lot of politics/economy around here these days, but, like, this is super-duper important, especially this close to an election, and my conversation with my sister last night really alerted me to the fact that a lot of U.S. voters have no clear idea what's going on here. (And it has a huge impact on folks overseas as well!) However you feel about it, and however you're voting, it's just generally useful to understand what went wrong and why.
A girlfriend sent along a very easy to understand (and funny!) PowerPoint presentation explaining this "sub-prime mortgage crisis." It's a term you hear thrown around a LOT these days, but what does it mean? What went wrong? I uploaded the presentation for you guys. You can download it here. />

Hey you guys remember how yesterday I was all like, "Dude I cannot tell you how freaking often the photo services incorrectly label their photos?" and you guys were probably like "You're so full of shit, Beet"?
Yeah. ...
Aw, adorableness!
Matthew Broderick accompanies his kiddo, James, to school ... on a scooter.
What a sweet daddy!
I would totally do this with my kids when I have them, but there's no way I'm getting up that early. The nannies have them until noon. I'll scoot them home from school.

If you think Golf Digest put a photo of Justin Timberlake on their cover under the words "Get Longer / Get Straighter" without ever for a minute considering that it might make some people think about penises, you are grossly underestimating their copywriters.
Update: I just realized that you can totally see a little penis bulge by his fly. Awesome. ...
I never again thought I'd say this, but Renee Zellweger actually looks very good at the premiere of Living Proof in NYC. I adore the dress, the shoes go nicely, and I don't know who's been working on her face these days, but it looks kind of human here.
Well done, Renee.
Until we meet again.

No, no, nobody proposed. Calm down, Mom.
It's a much bigger deal than that.
Jen Schefft is engaged.
Seriously, I'm wandering around the Film.com offices this afternoon, and I walk into Laremy's office to have a very serious chat with him about how he doesn't return my IMs promptly enough ("Was I away? Did you see an away message? Then I didn't get the IM. Because I do other things sometimes besides sit at my desk in case you IM me.").
Laremy shares an office with Pamela. As I'm berating Laremy, Pamela gasps. Like, loudly. W...
My trainer the other day was all like, "Hey, are you watching that new Rachel Zoe show? I LOVE her! She cracks me up," and I was like, "Yes, she's amusing, but also: everything she touches turns to starving."
I have to admit, though, I kind of love Rachel as a stylist. You know how I've been raving about how freaking amazing Anne Hathaway's looked on red carpets lately? You know who her new stylist is? Yeah, Rachel Zoe.
So I've kind of been obsessively following everything she's worn to...

Today, for the first time in the history of my entire life, I laughed out loud at something scribbled on a photo on PerezHilton.com.
It was, of course, done by Perez's new ghost-blogger, "liz," and not by him, which explains why it had a fighting chance at being funny. Oh, and it wasn't semen.
Seriously though, "O nuthin jus bein gay" is totally how I'm going to respond to any queries of "What's up?" in the future. ...
