Stars come out for Women In Hollywood Tribute October 7, 2008

The ladies really came together last night for Elle magazine’s 15th annual Women in Hollywood Tribute.  Some of them were as fashion fabulous as always, while others were … not.  Let the glamour begin:

“HOT” COUTURE:

Nicole Kidman, in a gorgeous green dress & salmon heels.  My favorite part, however, is the stylish oversized clutch!

Anne Hathaway, stunning as usual.

Halle Berry.  The dress is a bit unusual, and not doing amazing things for her post-Nahla tummy.  That being said, it's a beautiful silhouette, something the red carpet hasn't seen, and - of course - she's pulling it off.

NOT COUTURE:

This dress is sooooooo boring, shapeless, unflattering, and unfashionable.  Also, I'm sort of just sick of Eva Mendes' FACE.

It's not so much that I hate this dress as that I hate Nicolette Sheridan.  She has such a nasty, conniving face.  She also doesn't know how to carry herself.  No matter what she's wearing, it reads "I'm a cougar.  I'm still sexy.  Do me!"  Gross.

Ok - this one is totally the dress' fault.  I love Jenny McCarthy, but there is too much happening on this dress.  It looks she intercepted some curtains bound for a Victorian museum somewhere.  Suffocating and overly elaborate.

Christina Aguilera has been looking like a TRANNY. October 5, 2008

Christina, what is going on with your makeup lately?  You look.  Like a tranny.

 

Hot mess.

Hot mess.

 

OMG, seriously.  Who is doing her makeup!?

OMG, seriously. Who is doing her makeup!?

 

I guess I’m not THAT surprised though.  Miss Chris is not exactly known for her subtle fashion sense. Remember this?

 

There just isn't a good excuse for that hair.  That ass, on the other hand...

 I miss smokin’ hot Christina.  Come back mami!

 

Hey sexy!

Who does Sarah Brightman think she is? October 5, 2008

I was surfing a minute ago, and I came across the following promotional pictures for Sarah Brightman’s new album, “A Winter Symphony”.  She is in such hardcore denial about getting older, for real.  Not only that, but the older she gets, the trashier she gets.  Check out the awesomely fake hair, for example.

Sexy braids there, Sarah. SUPER sexy.

Ok, and guys – she’s 48 years old.  This is the bitch that “The Phantom of the Opera” was WRITTEN for.  In 1986.  I was three.  And check this out:

 

This is one of those pics that make you nervous, because you can't TELL if you're seeing nipple or not.  WHY?

I thought her last album cover was bad.  I mean, she has a rockin’ body, no doubt.  But she also hires people to airbrush the SHIT out of her photos.

I can’t take it for real.  And her music is CRAP.  I’m sorry – I really tried.  And I like musical theatre.  In fact I went and saw Spring Awakening on Broadway today.  It won the Tony in 2007, and I’ve been dying to see it since I moved here.  Hunter Parrish, who plays Silas on “Weeds”, is playing the lead right now – and he did a fabulous job and is actually a really talented singer.  Who knew!  He’s so cute too.  I just can’t quit him.  

(This is him…)

Back to the point.  Sarah Brightman is working really, really hard for such terrible, pointless “pop” music.  

Do like her?

 

Sweet Jesus, Lindsay Lohan wants a baby. October 3, 2008

Lindsay Lohan wants to adopt a baby with her lesbian lover, Samantha Ronson, according the new issue of Marie Claire magazine.  They’ve JUST come out of the closet as a couple, so the next logical step is clearly a celebrity adoption.  After all, why would people care about her now that the gay quesiton has been answered?  Apparently she wants either “a child in need or a newborn from another country. I’m not sure yet.”  Lordy.

How is this a good idea? This bitch has been in rehab like nine times in the past two years (that’s a totally made-up figure, by the way, so don’t quote me.  But for real – it’s a lot.), her family is a complete disaster, and we have pictures of suspicious cuts on her arms – indicating self-harm – from mere months ago.  Not only that, but she’s reportedly off the wagon again hardcore, partying with her girlfriend Samantha Ronson at all her DJ gigs.  NEWSFLASH:  babies are not hobbies!  They are something you commit to loving and caring for for the rest of your life.  FFS.

She's stunning, I'll admit.  But stunningly ready to raise a child?  HELL to the NO.

Lindsay and her man recently enjoyed the waves in sunny Mexico.  Having admitted to their relationship, they were finally able to be as lovey and affectionate as they wanted.

Not that they weren’t before, but whatever.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson – bikini mamas on vacation. September 30, 2008

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, who recently came out as a lesbian couple to DJ Ted Stryker, on Loveline, were spotted on vacation in Mexico this week.  Even though Manthy is clearly the butch of the relationship, she’s pictured wearing a blue and pink bikini.  It sort of makes her a little more vulnerable and likable, I think.

Samantha sort of has a weird body, but Lindsay’s body is refreshingly AWESOME.  She’s totally off the wagon, but it sort of seems to agree with her, don’t you think?

Awww...

Awww...

I love that there are all these hot superstar lesbians these days.  As much as people new to to the homosexual thing tend to be more comfortable with the idea of girl on girl on a personal level, gay men were more culturally excepted in major media.  Now we have Ellen, Portia, Lindsay, Samantha, Melissa, Michele, and – unfortunately – Rosie.  Regardless, it’s awesome!

More unnecessary confirmation of homo-rificness: sailors are gay. September 24, 2008

 

Teehee.

Teehee.

 

Apparently Lindsay Lohan is a hot damn mess…again September 24, 2008

This makes me sad.  Because despite the fact that she’s sort of a brainless tramp, she is beautiful in an old Hollywood starlet kind of way, and I can’t help but think she’s cute.  Also, since I dig the girls too, I’m obviously pleased by the recent turn of events.  Skinny Mantha isn’t that cute, but whatever.

But QUIT CUTTING YOURSELF!  I’m SICK of it!  You make thousands of dollars, mostly just for being beautiful, and you get to do whatever you want.  So shut the hell up & quit being tragic!  I’m done with it.

 

Totally hot, right?

What the hell, Lindsay?!  Take CARE of yourself baby girl!

Wtf Lindsay? Take CARE of yourself, baby girl!

 

 I guess this is marginal progress if this is the alternative.

 

I seriously missed her curves during this terrible stage.

I just wish she was taking better care of herself.  Where is Mean Girls Lindsay!?

(Sidenote: doesn’t she look strangely pregnant in that picture?)

 

 

 

Clay Aiken is gay: another “duh” moment in history September 24, 2008

This is a big week for celebrities “officially” coming out of the closet.  First Lindsay admitted that she and her partner, DJ Samantha Ronson, have been dating for “a very long time”, and now Clay Aiken has FINALLY come out of the closet!

Duh.

Still, I respected his right to stay in the closet until he was ready to make his sexual preference confirmed public knowlege, and I respect and appreciate the reason he chose to finally come clean.

“It was the first decision I made as a father,” Aiken, 29, told PEOPLE magazine after the August 8th birth of his son Parker. “I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn’t raised that way, and I’m not going to raise a child to do that.”

Amen!

Aiken, with his son Parker.

The birth of his son was a pretty big tip-off about his sexuality, as far as the public was concerned, as little Parker was conceived via in vitro fertilization with music producer Jaymes Foster, his best friend of many years.  He shared his concerns that it might be a bit difficult for his adoring fans to take in, saying, “Whether it be having a child out of wedlock, or whether it be simply being a homosexual, it’s going to be a lot.”  I’m not sure he’s giving his fans enough credit though.  Particularly since after years of speculation (and musical theatre performances), I don’t think many of them will be surprised.

Yep.  Definitely straight.

Yep. Definitely straight.

Aiken said that even his born-again Christian mother has been supportive, despite her initial shock, since he came out to her four years ago.  He says, “She still struggles with things quite a bit, but she’s come a long way.”  Hopefully his fans can be just as supportive.  After all, honesty shouldn’t be punished!  He is an example of what it is like to be true to yourself and honest to the people who love and support you – both very Christian virtues.

My favorite part of his interview with People Magazine, however, was his discussion of whether or not he things his son will have the same inclinations: “I have no idea if he’ll be gay or straight. It’s not something I’ll have anything to do with, or that he’ll have anything to do with. It’s already probably up inside the code there … No matter what the situation you’re in, if you’re raised in a loving environment, that’s the most important thing.”

So true, and way to be an awesome parent Clay.  Congratulations!

 

First pictures of “pregnant man” with his new family September 24, 2008

Thomas Beatie rocked the world when he gave birth, after a 40-hour labor, on June 29.  The 34 year-old is  transgendered, self-identified man who has retained his female organs.  He delivered healthy little baby Susan Juliette, who is now being breastfed by Thomas’ wife (and Susan’s mom) Nancy.

I never really understood what the big deal was – it’s just another story of a couple struggling on their journey to create a family, something innumerable families of all types have gone through.  I suppose I understand the fascination with the new, but I’m also glad that the press has died down and people are giving them some room to just get to know baby Susan.  I, of course, am not helping, but my goal in posting these pics is to show how utterly normal their situation is.

Here are a few pics of them hanging out in Bend, Oregon, were – incidentally – I’m from! =)

Awww!

How adorable is wee Susan?

Weeeeeee!

Weeeeeee!

Lindsay Lohan admits to being gay! September 23, 2008

Samantha Ronson, Lindsay’s unofficial beau of several months, called into the radio show Loveline last night to speak with DJ Ted Stryker about the plane crash that DJ AM and Travis Barker recently survived.

At the end of their chat, after Samantha had passed the phone to Lindsay, Stryker inconspicuously threw in the question, “Now, you guys, you and Samantha have been going out for how long now? Like two years? One year? Five months? Two months?”

Lohan answered, “A…very long time.”

“I hope you guys stay together, you’re a very lovely looking couple,” Stryker responded, to which Lindsay replied, “Thank you very much.”

Duh.

Duh.

He must be pretty impressed with himself to have gotten the the first confirmation that Lindsay’s a bonifide lezzie!  Not that it wasn’t painfully obvious with their constant canoodling and not-so-undercover myspace posts, but all the same – cheers!

Awww...hollezzies.
