Lady Gaga twats Edmonton
By Frank Moher
Could Edmonton mayor Stephen Mandel have been any more humourless in his response to Lady Gaga’s cheerful twit-pic from Rexall Place on Saturday? (That’s it to the left.) Crews had removed the letter “O” from a sign to position a spotlight; our lady, or one among her entourage, grabbed a shot of the [...]
A post-Steve Carell “The Office”? Cue the shark.
By Rachel Krueger
Steve Carell made the more-or-less-already-official rumors official when he announced that he really will be leaving “The Office” after his contract is up in 2011, thoroughly surprising everyone who thought “That will probably be my last year” was Italian for “I’m holding out for teh moneys.”
I like “The Office” as much as the [...]
Plot is dead, Tom Cruise is just dancing on the grave
By Rachel Krueger
The theory that there are only X number of plots in the world has been blamed for everything from Avatar being basically Dances With Fern Gully to the complete works of Shakespeare. I’m going to throw more Blame logs on the Blame fire because there is talk of a Les Grossman movie.
Remember that [...]
What if Megan Fox isn’t a total idiot?
By Rachel Krueger
Megan Fox is the worst, right? I mean, girl can’t act her way out of a paper bag. Also, she hasn’t yet figured out if she wants to be sexy and inscrutable, a la Angelina Jolie, or farty and fun — like Jonah Hill, but with boobs — and all this confusion makes [...]
Fanfiction: flattery or thievery?
By Rachel Krueger
Diana Gabaldon either needs to stop writing such effortlessly good historical fiction, or she needs to keep her ignorant viewpoints on fan fiction to herself, because I am having trouble reconciling my shameless adoration of her Outlander series with my urge to kill her blog with fire.
Ditto goes for George Double-R Martin, whose Song [...]
Cirque du Michael?
By Rachel Krueger
In the world of unlikely pairings, Cirque du Soleil and Michael Jackson is right up there with peanut butter and neoprene. Both are great; both have no business calling each other up on a rainy Saturday to hang out.
One of the more appealing aspects of the 40-year-old Cirque is that the more it [...]
Miley Cyrus’s secret
By Rachel Krueger
Proposition: Ostensible tweenstress Miley Cyrus is, in fact, an aging dowager.
While her bio and her boobs say she’s still well shy of 20, Miley Cyrus’s actions have all the quiet desperation of a washed-up starlet three times her age. The navel-exposing Myspaced photos “leaked” in 2008 are the closest to a sex-tape Hannah [...]
Fame is the new “skill”
By Rachel Krueger
Books are shit nowadays, and I blame you.
You may not have made the book deal with “Jersey Shore”’s bronzed illiterates Ronnie and J-Woww (I wish that was a typo), but you will probably read it. And even if you bypass what is sure to be the most gloriously misspelled Gym-Tan-Laundry manifesto, you watch [...]
Daniel Day-Lewis: Cure for Hollywood’s llls
By Rachel Krueger
If last year’s film version of the musical Nine is at all true to life (and I hope that it is, as there are gratuitous tambourines) then Daniel Day-Lewis gets all the ladies. And apparently he is good for what ails you.
Exhibit A: Nicole Kidman. The frozen-faced starlet has wandered vaguely about town [...]
Sandra Bullock, my new BFF
By Rachel Krueger
Sandy B clearly expected to walk home with a shiny gold man on Sunday, rocking a metallic Oscary dress and buffing her hair to a high Oscary sheen, and it comes as no surprise to the guess-makers and sayers-of-things-about-movies that she made good on her nom for Best Actress. But as honorable a [...]
