Listen up, people. New rule. We do not cover Heidi and Spencer on this blog anymore. Not until one or both of them dies. I am so unbelievably sick of their famewhoring.
Never again.
OK! magazine may brag that it costs 50 cents less than Us Weekly or People, but that comes at a price.
The magazine misspelled Ashlee Simpson’s name — on the cover.
“It is highly embarrassing and, sadly, someone will probably be fired,” said a rep for the magazine.
Furthermore, I’d like to mention that the subjects of this photo op are also welcome to get behind me.
Some big strong men from the New York Giants helped load trucks with Thanksgiving dinner at a food bank in Harlem. Yummy! (The men and the food.)
See?
I care about football!
(That’s the sport these guys play, right?)
You can be sexy like these dudes by calling your local food bank and asking what YOU can do to help out this holiday season.
“It’s straight out cruelty. Things that are just mean and cruel, like saying that they’re ‘fugly.’ I’m talking about my 14-year-old, my 17-year-old, who aren’t choosing to be in the public eye. It’s very painful, as it would be for any parent to have anybody say unkind or hurtful things about your children.”
Demi Moore, discussing how bloggers talk about her children.
Personally, I’ve never talked shit about her younger daughters, Scout and Tallulah, both of whom I think are beautiful. The only one who is fug is also the only one who has chosen to be in the public eye. Your other daughters are safe with me, Demi!
Mel B, Nia Long, and model Chanel Iman, along with Mel’s husband, Stephen Belafonte, brought a bunch of Thanksgiving goodies to needy families in Los Angeles’s South Central neighborhood on Monday.
It’s easy and fun to help when there are cameras around!
For reals, though, people, the economy sucks right now, in case you didn’t get the memo. You know what that means? It means that families in need are more in need than ever. And nothing will help you feel better about your own crappy financial situation than helping out someone in an even worse position than you. I’m serious! Don’t forget to give back this holiday season! If you don’t have any money to give, you can donate your time. There are SO MANY opportunities this time of year. Get out there and get involved and create holiday cheer for everyone. For ideas, check out the Salvation Army in your area or talk to your local church, synagogue, food bank or mission.
Today would have been the 75th birthday of my beloved Grandma Zelda, who died of lung cancer — after surviving breast cancer — when I was in sixth grade.
My grandmother was beautiful. She met my grandfather as a teenager. A strikingly handsome war hero, my grandfather was the man all the nice Jewish girls in Chicago wanted to land. From what I hear, Grandpa was quite the player until the day he met my grandmother, at which point none of the other girls stood a chance. He was bowled over by her beauty and her kindness, and they married soon after.
I inherited the beauty, for sure. I don’t know what happened to the kindness. Maybe my sister got that.
My grandmother, in the short time I had her with me, taught me a lifetime’s worth of lessons in living, loving and dying with grace and honesty and dignity. And I know she’s spent every minute since her passing watching over me and guiding me. I felt her presence in my life starting the day after she died, and she’s never left my side since.
Grandma, I haven’t had a cigarette in four months now. I know how happy that makes you.
I love you, and I miss you.
Check out this dude flying 1500 feet over the Royal Gorge near Cañon City today using a jet pack.
The gorge is said to be 1,025 feet deep. He did not use a just-in-case parachute.
The jet pack is manufactured by Denver-based Jet P.I., based on a model developed in the ’60s for military use.
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
I know what I want for Hannukah!!!!
Leo and I are so done with cars. It’s gonna be all jet packs all the time for us!
Apparently the worldwide economy is so damn shitty that the Russians can’t even sell their vodka. TRAGEDY.
With retailers struggling to find credit and ordinary Russians being forced to change their spending, a vast lake of undrunk vodka is accumulating in distilleries across Russia.
Official statistics indicate a collapse in demand for vodka over the past two months. November inventories of unsold vodka stock have risen to 82 million litres, a 600 per cent increase from 2007, according to the National Alcohol Association.
The vodka lake has grown even as desperate producers have slashed output, which fell by 15 per cent in October according to industry estimates.
Retailers and producers alike attribute the main reason for the collapse in the market to the evaporation of credit, with many suppliers unable to refinance loans from banks to buy new supplies.
“People are spending less money on alcohol and other products because of the financial crisis,” said Pavel Shapkin, the executive secretary of the National Alcohol Association. “As people try to save money, they are turning to cheaper brands.”
This is bad news for the vodka industry, but really good news for vodka drinkers, because you better believe prices are going to start sliding, big time. Someone better lock up Lindsay Lohan, stat.
I wonder if the Russian government will be called on to bail out the vodka manufacturers. Or maybe they’ll just skip the middle man and go ahead and ask the U.S. government to bail them out, since we seem to be in the business of bailing out anyone who asks politely these days. Why would we hold anyone accountable? Honestly we should change our national motto from “In God We Trust” to “It’s Not Your Fault.”
