Ashton Kutcher Says Bye to Brittany

Ashton Kutcher just updated his Twitter with a note about his ex-love and Just Married co-star, Brittany Murphy. The two dated around the time they made the movie and at what seemed to be the peak of both of their careers.

Solange Knowles on Twitter

Beyonce’s sister Solange doesn’t seem to be taking the news particularly well herself, but is unable to to muster up much more than the fact that she’s shocked.

Perez Hilton

And some loser with a face that resembles a honey ham decides to take this moment to warn Lindsay Lohan that if she doesn’t clean up, she’ll be six feet under, too.

Sara Gilbert

However, Sara Gilbert aka Darlene from Roseanne, chimed in with a kind word.

Who Was The Most Annoying Celebrity of 2009?

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Jon Gosselin

2009 was a particularly annoying year in terms of celebrities. And well, most things. But celebrities for sure. Today the SCTimes.com printed their list of the 10 most annoying celebrities of 2009 and I couldn’t agree more with their picks:

1. Jon Gosselin — This guy is so annoying that he made his wife Kate seem less annoying than usual this year. Once the couple split, which you may have heard about in the media, he made one annoying move after another. His wife, on the other hand, took the high road, assuming you believe that the “high road” is granting a series of TV interviews in which you whine about your money problems.

2. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt — This couple actually walked around in 2009 with their own video camera, hoping to sell the footage to a cable network for a reality show. These self-serving people set out to annoy the world, and they succeeded.

3. The Kardashians — Frankly, I initially couldn’t decide among sisters Kim, Kourtney or Khloe, or even their mother Kris. This reality-show family lifted annoyance to an art form. Kourtney had a baby this year, and Khloe married Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom, so we’re giving them a partial pass. Although Kris raised these three annoying young women, I’ve got to give the most annoying award to Kim. But, in the interest of fairness, let’s just call them all annoying.

4. Perez Hilton — For those of you who do not track the world of celebrity blogging, you probably assume I’m talking about someone related to Paris Hilton. This guy is not related to anyone named Hilton. His real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira, and he took the heiress’s name because he worships her. How annoying is that? Anyway, this guy has become a celebrity in his own right by mocking other celebrities on his blog. The most annoying (and despicable) thing he did in 2009 was reporting the death of former “Charlie’s Angels” actress Jaclyn Smith and, when she announced that she was very much alive, this bottom-feeder didn’t have the courtesy or class to apologize.

5. Kanye West — I’ve got news for you; even if he didn’t do that obnoxious thing to Taylor Swift on that awards show, he still would have made this list. I grind my teeth whenever this guy opens his mouth.

6. Levi Johnston — The father of Sarah Palin’s grandchild decided he wanted to be an annoying jerk when he grows up. On one TV show, he was joined on a panel by Jon Gosselin. It takes one to know one.

7. Nadya Suleman — You might know her better as “The Octomom.” I use the word “celebrity” loosely in discussing her, but I had no plans to write a list of the “Most annoying mother of 14 children,” so I had to include her here. I don’t really have to explain why she is annoying, do I?

8. Joe Jackson — The father of the late pop singer Michael Jackson transcends annoying, particularly when he seemed to be trying to benefit financially from his son’s death. He hardly belongs in what is supposed to be a lighthearted column, but his face annoys me, so how could I keep him off this list?

9. Miley Cyrus — Is she old enough to retire yet? I am so sick and tired of her and her father. She grates on me, and I thought I’d never get rid of her, but if she keeps pulling stunts like that little dance on the stripper pole at the Teen Choice Awards, I won’t have to put up with the Cyrus family much longer. Once Miley slips out of public favor, her father will soon follow.

10. Kara DioGuardi — It wasn’t her fault that the people behind the TV show “American Idol” decided to expand the judge’s table to four. The singer-songwriter probably was doomed to failure before she started because viewers didn’t like the change, but she certainly made the worst of a bad situation. Was it just me, or did she start to annoy from day one? She seemed awkward, and the more she tried to ingratiate herself with the audience, the more awkward it got. The producers tried to convince us of her musical credentials, but nobody was buying the sales job. When she wrote a lame song for the competition, she was exposed.

While I’d probably cut the Kardashians from the list (I can’t hate them. They are so harmless and dumb to me and that Khloe makes me laugh) and move Miley up a few notches, I think this is more or less a great list. However, there are plenty of other celebrities out there who grated on our last nerve this year. Tila Tequila, Mischa Barton and Lady Gaga are three people I could deal with hearing less about.

Who’s your pick for the most annoying celebrity of 2009?

“Does perez hilton..whatever his name really is..have no heart at all?Don’t ever attack my family again.Sad to know u hate so deeply.Sad 4 U”

Jessica Simpson’s Tweet to Perez Hilton in response to his blog that Bronx, Jess’ nephew, was celebrating his first birthday.  Perez’s ghost writer Perez wrote:  ”It’s been one year since Asslee pushed Bronx Mowgli through her vayjayjay and it’s all the family is talking about! … Poor lil’ thing doesn’t stand a chance!!!”

What is more ironic?  That Jessica Simpson cares what Perez Hilton dot com has to say about her nephew, or that she thinks Mario Lavanderia himself is actually banging posts out about Jess and her fam?  PH is phucking phfamous now!

They Can’t Dress Up as Themselves

Gwen Stefani, Zuma Rossdale, Gavin Rossdale, Kingston Rossdale - Halloween 2009

Considering that a lot of non-famous people probably dressed up like them last night, it’s interesting to see what celebs chose to be for Halloween. I love that Gwen Stefani wasn’t afraid to don a head to toe Jessie (from Toy Story 2) costume to take her kids out trick-or-treating. Gavin gets negative points for taking himself too seriously and not wearing a costume.

Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis and his son both dressed as Eddie Munster while Christina Aguilera and son Max went out as a pair of skeletons. James Gandolfini and designer Christian Siriano both looked unintentionally creepy– one because he was wearing a Homer Simpson mask with the eyes cut out, the other because… well… you’ll see.

Want a First Look at Perez Hilton’s New Site?

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Perez Hilton launches his new website, CocoPerez.com, on Thursday. If you go to the website now, there’s only a blank page and a login. But I’m sorta computer-savvy, and his developers clearly are not, and so I poked around a bit to get a first look at the homepage. The rumors have been that this is going to be a website targeting women around the 26-year-old demographic, using “longer-form” editorial content, but what it looks like to me is PerezHilton.com but focusing on the fashion world. I mean, in some of these posts, he’s still drawing on photos. (I think he’s trying to remain true to the brand, but it doesn’t play well with the “more mature audience” concept. Drop that part, Mario.)

The longer-form editorials appear to consist of a paragraph or so more than his traditional pieces. For instance, he ran this piece about the new Harvard clothing line on his current site. The mock-up for the new site includes that same article, but with the last paragraph expanded to say this:

This is all fine and well, but there is one lingering question: why?? This is from so far left field. We would understand if The New School or RISD or any number of artistic/fashion focused schools launched a line – it would still be unusual but at least a logical progression. But this?? This is just so random. Especially since Harvard isn’t exactly thought of as the apex of fashion. This is like Janet Reno announcing she’s launching a line of lingerie. You just can’t get your head around it because it’s so…bizarre.

Well, at least they’ve got our attention!

Ohhhhhh man. Mario, dude, you’re not cut out for “longer-form” editorial. The more you “write,” the more obvious it becomes that you’re a gossip hound and famewhore, but clearly not a “writer.” This concept doesn’t play to your strengths; rather, it exposes your weaknesses. Tell ya what, buddy: You stick to short-form editorial and the Fidel Castro beat, and I’ll handle being funny and insightful for the both of us. Side note: Want me to manage your IT department, too?

Breckin Meyer Will Not Accept Couples Skating; Gets Apology From Zac Efron

I’m so relieved that Breckin Meyer is speaking out against couples skating.  No one should ever, ever have to endure such an injustice.

The Battle Of The Quotables

“These are vulgar anti-gay slurs that feed a climate of hatred and intolerance toward our community. For someone in our own community to use it to attack another person by saying that it is, quote, ‘The worst possible thing that thug would ever want to hear,’ is incredibly dangerous. It legitimizes use of a slur that is often linked to violence against our community. And it sends a message that it is OK to attempt to dehumanize people by exploiting anti-gay attitudes.”

Rashad Robinson, Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation’s senior director of media programs, releasing a statement about Perez Hilton’s run-in with the heat-seeking missile better known as will.i.am. 

GLAAD has also requested that media outlets not identify the “bad words” that Hilton said.  I’m big into owning one’s actions — he said “fag” and “faggot.”

Perez responded through TMZ:

“I am saddened GLAAD chose to victimize me further by criticizing me for how I non-violently dealt with a very scary situation that, unfortunately, turned violent. While I doubt I will get an apology from GLAAD, nor do I expect one, I would just hope people know how difficult it is to intellectualize a situation and think rationally when a thug disguised as a musician is screaming at your face and intimidating you. I am just very fortunate and grateful that nothing more serious happened to me.”
