A Picture Is Worth — Well — Not As Many Words as You Can Fit on a Piece of Cardboard

Listen, I've worked with paparazzi agencies for a few years now, and I've learned one important thing: trust your instincts above their captions. They may have tagged a photo as "Jennifer Aniston," and it's kind of far away and blurry, but it doesn't quite look like her, so you email them like, "Hey, are you guys totally sure that's Jen in that shot?" and they write back like, "Yes, we're sure," and you still have your doubts so you write them again, "Like, totally sure?" and they're like "T...

Your Daily Lohan

Here's La Lohan at a photo shoot in the Hollywood Hills, where she reportedly spent a great deal of time talking on her cell phone and smoking cigarettes and crying, although it's not clear exactly what the problem is. This photo is from Tuesday, the day news broke that she had confirmed her relationship with Samantha Ronson during a late-night radio phone interview (for which she was, perhaps, a little drunk). Maybe she's upset that news of Clay Aiken's open gay-ness hit the same day. Eh, probably not. ...

Your Daily Paris, Or At Least What’s Left of Her

We haven't seen much of Paris Hilton -- then again, there hasn't been much of her to see. The heiress hit up LAX with beau Benji Madden on Tuesday and looked particularly starving, even by Paris standards. What's up with this??? Does someone need a little bit of attention since she's not currently banging a woman or releasing a comeback album? Oh, and she wasn't wearing a bra, so, ya know, that's fun.

Hi, God. Quick Question. Why Does It Have to Be Kirk Cameron in the Fireman Suit?

OMG. What a vagina tease. These photos are just saying, "Hey, Beet, it's a hot, wealthy man in a firefighter uniform and there are TONS of pictures of him for you to gawk at. There's just one tiny catch: it's Kirk Cameron." It's like how someone approached Kirk Cameron twenty years ago and was like, "Listen, I have this awesome way for you to always be able to feel like you're better than other people, no matter what. There's just one tiny catch: You have to abandon all logic and reason."...

Hacking Just Ain’t What It Used to Be

Meet David Kernell, the 20-year-old University of Tennessee student who's probably going to jail for a very long time for "hacking" into the Yahoo email account of Sarah Palin by correctly guessing her security questions with information he gleaned from her Wikipedia page. OMG. I'm sorry, but can we please stop calling this kid a "hacker"? That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard. This kid is not a hacker. I remember the Golden Age of hacking, where you actually had to know stuff abou...

Who Wants to Buy Britney Spears’ House?

The mansion she bought in a gated Beverly Hills community for $7M, um, less than a year ago, is now on the market. Britney apparently plans to move to Calabasas. Spears' camp stated that she was seeking a "lower density, more quiet and less trafficked neighborhood, that is also more accessible to parks and recreation areas" to better suit her little ones, 3-year-old Sean and 2-year-old Jayden. Also: her neighbors hate her. Neighbor Ed Mc McMahon, for one, has publicly cited Spears as one of the reasons why in the past two years he has not received a single offer on his 7,000-square-foot home that recently sold for ...

Getting to Know Isis King

Since it's apparently Gay Day in the news today, it's fitting that the AP would run a piece on Isis King, the transgender model in this season's America's Next Top Model. I haven't been watching the season, but I found the profile fascinating.
In New York, King had also had run into obstacles. The $4,500 she had saved to move to the city had dried up, and she needed help getting back on her feet. She moved into an apartment provided by The Ali Forney Center, an organization that serves homeless gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth. "Technically, I was homeless," King said. "I just wasn't living literally on the street." In late 2007, America's Next Top Model filmed an episode in New York to raise awareness about homeless youth. The contestants modeled in street clothes and a handful of homeless youth donned couture, serving as extras in the shoot. King was one of them. When Banks later scrutinized models' photos for judging, "she kept on noticing Isis," executive producer Ken Mok said. "And she said, 'Who is that girl?'" King clearly knew how to pose, understood fashion and was passionate, he said. Earlier this year, Top Model found King and invited her to audition for the new season.
The AP story also notes that transgender characters and actors have become slightly more prevalent on TV recently, citing Candis Cayne's stint on Dirty Sexy Money and Alexandra Billings' run on Grey's Anatomy. Very cool to see more acceptance for transgendered individuals, even if I do still kind of think the ANTM thing is a ratings ploy. More video of Isis is after the jump.

HOLY SHIT CLAY AIKEN IS GAAAAAAAAAAY!

OMG YOU GUYS. Rock. My. World. This is the new cover of People magazine, which will hit newsstands on Wednesday. It's Clay "Spamalot" Aiken -- and he's a HOMOSEXUAL!!! You could knock me over with a feather right about now. The Claymates are going to riot in the streets of the fly-over states. They're going to cry themselves to sleep in small-town Alabama tonight. For everyone else, life will go on as usual. Also: when is someone going to give the "Yes, I'm Gay" exclusive to anybody other than People magazine? Listen, Sam and Lindsay, if you're going to...
