Katharine McPhee Is Not Amused

I lol'd a couple of times at this brief interview that Kat McPhee did with Newsweek. She was supposed to be talking about her new film, House Bunny, but instead the interviewer was totally unprepared and off-topic, and Kat just decided to let him look like the dumbass that he is. Here's how most of the interview went: You just got married and had Kellie Pickler as a bridesmaid. Why didn't you ask Sanjaya? Because Sanjaya wasn't on my season. And I wasn't very good friends with him. Di...

How Much Would You Pay for This House?

The Villa Leopolda, on the French Riviera, has just sold for $748 million dollars, breaking a world record. The purchaser is a Russian who has not been identified, which is a shame, because I'd like to know if he has a son. Seriously, I'm in the early stages of house-hunting here in Seattle, and I'm trying to plan out how I'm going to put together like 10% down on a two-bedroom condo. This mysterious Russian billionaire guy could help me out. But he won't, probably. ...

Hayden Panettiere’s Dad Arrested for Kicking Her Mom’s Ass

See? Hollywood gets you every time. Even if you, like Hayden Panettiere, spend your entire career wearing underwear, staying sober and saving whales, your dad'll turn around and punch your mom in the face a couple times in the middle of the night. Nobody gets to be perfect anymore. Alan Panettiere, father of Heroes star Hayden Panettiere, was arrested early Monday morning for allegedly hitting his wife, Lesley Panettiere, when the couple got into an argument after attending a party. Sgt. Sco...

Keeping My Promise

Well, the women of USA gymnastics may have spent the day breaking ankles, stepping out of bounds, falling on their asses and off uneven bars, but Michael Phelps was busy winning his second gold medal in Beijing today in the men's 400m freestyle relay. So here's your picture of his pubic bones. Yummmmm. Interestingly enough, Phelps actually didn't win his split of the relay -- the real hero here was Jason Lezak, who made a phenomenal comeback against France in the final split to win the who...

Disabilities Groups Plan to Boycott Tropic Thunder

As I mentioned earlier in the week, I had the opportunity to see the absolutely hilarious Tropic Thunder at the press screening and I LOVED it. However, Robert Downey Jr is in blackface, like, the entire time. In fact, it was about halfway through the movie that I turned to the girl sitting next to me and said, "Holy shit. That's actually Robert Downey Jr., isn't it?" And she was like, "Uh, yeah." But he is 100% black man throughout the entire movie, and I remember thinking, like, "Won't some African American groups take serious iss...

R.I.P. Isaac Hayes

These things come in threes, you guys, and so here's the second. Isaac Hayes -- who my generation perhaps knows best as the voice of Chef on South Park, but whom others may know as a legend of soul music and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee -- has passed away at the age of 65. His wife found him unconscious near a treadmill in their home. The treadmill was still running. Hayes was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead shortly after 2 pm. The cause of death has not been releas...

I Cannot Believe I Just Watched This Entire Thing

Here's five minutes of the Olly Games, aka the Olly-mpics. Yeah, like Holly and Molly. And a Slip 'N' Slide. The weirdest part? I was actually rooting for Molly. Like, I cared. Scary. /> Here's five minutes of the Olly Games, aka the Olly-mpics. Yeah, like Holly and Molly. And a Slip 'N' Slide. The weirdest part? I was actually rooting for Molly. Like, I cared. Scary....

America Ferrera Is Every Bit as Sick of Hearing About Gossip Girl as You Are

Here's an amusing clip from Good Day LA, where America Ferrera and Blake Lively are on to discuss Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, but the conversation instead goes to Gossip Girl. America is unamused. Hey, America, at least you still have a hit TV show. When the first installment of this movie came out, no one had heard of America Ferrera or Blake Lively. Rather, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel were the young starlets with careers on the rise. Oh, how the tables have turned. /> Here's an amusing clip from Good Day LA, where America Ferrera and Blake Lively are on to discuss Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, but the conversation instead goes to Gossip Girl.

So I’ve Totally Played Volleyball with an Olympic Volleyball Player

I just have to tell you guys that I just realized how awesome I am. One of my girlfriends sends me a Facebook message tonight like "holy shit kev is in the olympics you have to watch it!" The "kev" she was referring to is her college boyfriend, Kevin Hansen, who's on the USA men's volleyball team. I was like "OMG that's so cool" and turned on NBC to watch. I'd hung out with him a few times while they were dating, and he was a very cool guy, and I was just all excited that I'd actually met ...

Phelps Takes First Olympic Gold!!!

Here is my promise to you, darling readers: for every gold medal Michael Phelps wins at the Olympics, I will run a new photo of Michael Phelps' pubic bones. Because I'm in love with Michael Phelps' pubic bones. I'm in love with all of Michael Phelps. I went to this party tonight that a girlfriend invited me to because she thought there might be some good eligible bachelors there for me. It was at a freaking gorgeous house that sat directly on the lake -- and I would marry the house, p...
