K-Fug at the premiere of Bride WarsOk, so wtf is up with this dress? First of all, the cut at the top is not doing K-Fug any favors. There is like ZERO support in that thing. She has a serious case of pancake boob, not to mention that it looks like the thing could come down at any moment because of a sheer lack of anything it could adhear itself to on Hudson’s body.

The idea of a fishtail dress is to show off curves, or to help create them. But that top is completely covering where her hips should be and it looks like it needs to be hoisted up about 4 inches and possibly worn under a smart suit with a pencil skirt or something as an “accent” piece. But as a full gown, it’s not working for me.

Also, that pattern is totally crazy. It looks like something a whimsical drag queen named Gia Metrica might wear, or something Glenn Close’s character Cruella Deville would have worn in 101 Dalmations. Next time, Hudson should stick to something a little more “safe” and leave the craziness to someone else like Chloe Sevigny or Bjork.

 

Shiloh is getting so BIG! October 7, 2008

Angelina Jolie was snapped out walking with kids Pax (4), Zahara (3), and Shiloh Nouvel (2) yesterday in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Shiloh is already half the size of Angelina!  I wonder if she’ll be tall like her daddy?

 

A very Bond suprise October 7, 2008

The Daily Mail UK (one of my fav gossip sites) is reporting that new Bond girl Gemma Arterton, who’ll be starring opposite Daniel Craig in the upcoming “Quantum of Solace” flick, was born with six fingers on each hand.

She was apparently operated on as a very young child, in order to have the extra appendages removed, but she still has little bumpy scars to remind her.

Crazy!

She has a beautiful smile, no?

The Daily Mail also recently revealed, in a total spoiler, how Gemma’s character will die in the next Bond film.  I won’t let the cat out of the bag, but it has something to do with this:

Ay, mami!

Ay, mami!

Other than the shit theme song co-written by Alicia Keys and the White Stripes’ Jack White, I’m really pleased with the direction the Bond conglomerate has been heading lately.  I will always have a spot in my heart (and bed, let’s be honest) for Pierce Brosnan, but I never really believed he could kick some undercover ass.  Daniel Craig, on the other hand, is entirely believable.  He’s more of a Roger Moore type of Bond – rough around the edges, not formulaicly handsome, and, well, ROCK DIESEL.  Gemma is also not a standard beauty.  Her body obviously has that tall, leggy Geena Davis thing happening.  But her face is a little quirky, and to me that makes her a) a more interesting character, and b) MORE beautiful.

So, you know, good work Bond Enterprises.  Good work.  (Now get a new theme song, and pronto!)

 

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.

First pics of Henry Story Driver, Minnie Driver’s baby boy! October 6, 2008

Little Henry Story Driver is such a cute little CHUNK!  I love it!  Wee Henry was born to Minnie Driver, best known for costarring with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in Good Will Hunting, on September 9th.

Minnie, who is currently starring on the FX cable TV series “The Riches” with British comedian Eddie Izzard, has refused to divulge the identity of the baby daddy.  There is speculation, however, that it’s musician Craig Zolezzi.

Despite lots of pressure to spill the beans, Minnie has stayed strong and maintained her privacy.  She doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her having a child “out of wedlock”, and I admire for it.  She’s even gone so far as to tell the New York Post, “I’m not married and I don’t know if I’ll stay with the guy.”

You tell ‘em, Minnie.

She also said, “It’s great to be an independent creature. Today you don’t need a man any more.  In the old days, a baby without marriage and people would put you out. I’m very into feeling this female thing.”

Me too!

What do you guys think?

 

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!

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.

Lohan & Ronson, before admitting they were together.  No worries gals, NO ONE KNEW.

Why are Justin & Jessica always so pissed? September 24, 2008

Seriously.  I was so excited when they got together, because let’s be honest, they would make beautiful babies.  His talent and her ass (although hopefully not her teeth or his hair…) – brilliant!  But ever since they got together, every picture I see of them looks like they just had a hearty serving of stick up the ass.  WTF?

Well fine then.  We don't like you either, bitches.

Taking white trash to a whole new level. September 20, 2008

I can’t believe they gave this chick a show called “Brooke Knows Best”.  The irony is out of control, and almost cruel.

How is this a good idea?  No, seriously.

How is this a good idea? No, seriously.

I wonder if she struggled, for days and days, desperately trying to figure what she was going to wear for her next show.  That she suddenly lit up with inspiration, and screamed, “I’ve got it!  A black vest over a larger red vest, which is still not big enough to cover my belly, black underwear, nude fishnets, and – the cherry on top – ASSLESS CHAPS MADE FROM JEANS.  I’m BRILLIANT!”

I’m really not sure she could get more white trash.  Oh, wait…

Come on, man.  Really?

Come on. Really?
