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 […]

Betty White on Saturday Night Live: not cute
By Frank Moher The show hasn’t reached my time zone yet, but by all Twitter accounts Betty White is killing it on “Saturday Night Live” tonight. But all this amazement that she can still do the job is a bit misplaced, no? For one thing, she’s only 88-years old. My buddy Antony Holland, whom some […]
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 […]
Kate Gosselin: Go dancing with your kids, now
By Jodi A. Shaw Dear Kate Gosselin: What a long, twisty road you have travelled! I first met you when the smiling, laughing faces of your sextuplets caught my eye as I channel-surfed one lazy afternoon. I confess, I fell in love with your children and spent many afternoons looking in on your family. But […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. Yes, in […]
