Lady Gaga makes sense, blows minds.
By Rachel Krueger
The big buzz around the gossip-o-nets lately is that Megan Fox may have used a thumb-double in her terrible Superbowl commercial (*yawn*) and that John Mayer’s johnson is a white supremacist (*gnash*). This makes it almost heart-stoppingly refreshing to see one of the biz’s young rabble-rousers use her celebrity for good, and not for [...]
If we stand on the shoulders of the dead, we can make millions!
By Rachel Krueger
If 2009 was The Year When All Those Famous People Died, 2010 is shaping up to be The Year of Chronic Grave-Robbing (where the “grave” is metaphorical and the “robbing” is more like “exploiting”).
Mind-bogglingly unsubtle fame-whore and living manga doll Tila Tequila (who is famous solely for throwing herself repeatedly and frantically into [...]
Tiger beat
By Rachel Krueger
Alright, to save time we’re going to go ahead and take a head-count. If you have slept with Tiger Woods, I’m going to need you to go ahead and raise your hand. Yes, the young lady in the pink, I see that hand. Yes, ma’am, you and your daughter, check. [...]
The end of Oprah? Not likely.
By Rachel Krueger
Oprah Winfrey has announced that she is quitting while she’s ahead, and putting her immensely popular talk show to rest. For real this time. Not like in 1997, when she said she was done, but was just psyching us out. Or like in 2004, when she did it again. [...]
Too funny too soon?
By Rachel Krueger
Last Thursday night, David Letterman admitted to having doinked some of his female staff, and hearts could be heard breaking all over the country. And not like they did the night previous when Nigel Barker’s wife showed her sleek, feline face on “America’s Next Top Model,” but like they do when you find [...]
I’mma thinkin it was a set-up
By Rachel Krueger
The VMAs went from a fairly unexceptional awards show to one mildly more . . . gossip-worthy, if not entertaining, thanks to the potentially staged shenanigans of one Kanye West. With all the subtlety of Bruno’s Sacha Baran Cohen landing balls-first in Eminem’s face at the MTV Movie Awards, Kanye stormed the [...]
In Kate’s corner
By Rachel Krueger
“Yes, hello, Kettle + 8? This is the Octo-Pot calling. Stop sucking away at my 15 minutes of fame.”
I’ve never been a fan of TLC’s “Jon and Kate Exploit Their Eight” (or whatever). Being party to their marital spats and exhausted parenting makes me feel uncomfortably like an 11th wheel. [...]
Joaquin a fine line
Remember when Joaquin Phoenix played Emperor Commodus and made being power-mad kind of sexy? Remember when Joaquin Phoenix played Johnny Cash and made being tormented and hopeless kind of sexy? Remember when Joaquin Phoenix stopped showering and made unwashed vagrancy the world’s most uninteresting controversy?
Since his shock-seeking announcement last October that Phoenix is [...]
It’s Rihanna’s business
Super-ultra-pop-star Rihanna is a lot of things: model, former beauty queen, Barbadian youth cultural ambassador (!), frequent Billboard presence, wackadoo fashion icon, and a scant “score-and-one” years old. After an alleged argument that ended in alleged violence with boyfriend-singer Chris Brown a few weeks ago, however, it seems the media would like to cram [...]
