it’s called “The Lap Pillow” and is apparantly quite big in Japan. tee hee.
Unfortunately, because TAR was on at 8 instead of 9, i didn’t get to Tivo it until 11…so i haven’t watched it yet. i do know that it was part 1 or a 2-parter so nobody got elimintated anyway… so, instead of a recap, i’ll give you some TAR news. The New York Post reports [...]

Dear Friends, Let me know your sizes. Christmas is tight this year. I’ve learned to make bedroom slippers out of maxi pads: You need four maxis to make a pair. Two of them get laid out flat, for the foot part. The other two wrap around the toe area to form the top. Tape or [...]

It seems that Denise Richards stayed unpregnant just long enough to do her Playboy photoshoot. She’s pregnant again and due in June. Their daughter, Sam, will be 1 in March. Wow….that’s quick.
Ooh..another good episode of Desperate Housewives this week.

The Washington Post’s Style Invitational asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are this year’s winners: Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking [...]
Summer saves Chrismukkah. That’s it. Seth will not ever be getting over her. Ever. this was better than the wonder woman costume. But, the good news for Seth is that his girl Alex is supposedly supposed to be having some girl-on-girl action with Marissa this season anyway, so it’s not like Seth is really taken… [...]
…of total horse-shit. what a complete waste of time. i’m glad i tivo’ed it and fast forwarded through the utterly BORING parts. no, i didn’t need to see the Ivana footage again, or the Jen C “Jewish” comment or the Stacie 8 ball incident. I did like the public flogging of Jen. Yay. Finally people [...]

no…it’s not the Julia Roberts news…again. This time it’s US magazine. Yesterday, Liv Tyler had a baby BOY. But, here’s US magazine’s (original…it’s since been changed) official post on its website either way, congrats to Liv. It’s about time. She looked about 14 months pregnant this week.
…you’re team number 2! take that…ass! Okay, lots of good things to write about last night’s episode of the Amazing Race. Firstly, Kendra (“they just keep breeding”) and Rebecca (“no wonder they escaped from Africa”) have really got to learn how to keep their mouths shut. That’s all I’m going to say about that. Bolo [...]

So, at work we do these things called running records. Essentially, this means that when we send a potential manuscript to teachers, when they read the books with the students they take notes of all the words the children say – what mistakes they make, which words they stumble on, and when they correct themselves.

After over 11 hours of deliberation, the jury announced its decision – it will be death by injection for Mr. Scott Peterson.

for Ellen and her long-time girlfriend, Alexandra Hedison. Apparantly, Ellen has left her girlfriend for Portia de Rossi (of Ally McBeal fame).

and what exactly do we think that skirt is made of? a parachute? a tarp? garbage bag? is it even a skirt? it it pants?
okay…due to an unfortunate power outtage at work, my updates have been a little delayed this morning… Survivor Okay…here is the reason that there wasn’t – and probably never will be – an all-women final four. Women are too emotional and they can’t separate these emotions. They can’t understand that to actually play this game, [...]

yay or nay? what do ya’ll think??

Last night we watched a pirated version of Alfie. I really didn’t care that the quality wasn’t amazing, and that the sound was slightly off…because it was two hours of my Jude, looking “smashing”. But, i drew the line when during the last ten minutes of the movie, the audio turned off, and left no [...]
until somebody loses a member. According to the Mirror, Angelina Jolie, who plays Colin Farrel’s mum in the movie Alexander, says, “[Colin] was always wearing those djellabas (kaftans) which had a pocket. And he’d go up to me and say, ‘Will you help me get this out of my pocket?’ Staring up at me was [...]
the picture is just priceless. I had to post it.
…and she’s not even good at it. Not only was she lip-synching when she made her singing debut on Good Morning American, but she was lip-synching BADLY. According to several news accounts, Lohan used backing tracks during her song on Monday and didn’t do a particularly good job of syncing up her performance with said [...]

Holy Cow! She’s reading her emails at loud as she’s typing them! I mean, honestly, who does that???
but alas, no one was, and I usually HATE non-elimination rounds, but i was so happy to not see Don and Mary Jean be eliminated. Phil was happy to tell them that they were still in the Amazing Race. Thanks to freakgirl for describing Gus’s nipples to a tee. he’s got pepperoni nipples. hee hee. [...]

Colin Farrell shared his bad habit with In Touch magazine. He says that he habitually jerks out his hair, one follicle at a time. “I’m a hair puller-outer. What do you call it? Trichomania or something…I love the sensation–that moment, right before it’s left. And then…dnnnk. I just love it.” hmmm…some of my bad habits…I [...]
Everything is bigger in America according to Morgan Spurlock, who has crafted a contemporary horror story by subjecting himself to thirty solid days of a McDonald’s-only diet. Ugh. Under the supervision of a cardiologist, a gastroenterologist, a nutritionist and a matter-of-fact internist, Spurlock explores the ritual delights of fast food frenzying, an American tradition. He [...]

The goal of any filmmaker is to get the people talking. And that certainly is what Michael Moore has done with his documentary, Fahrenheit 9-11. It is a movie that has provoked, delighted, and divided many of its viewers. Some will see it as propaganda, and some will see it as travesty. But, at the [...]
..because you can always use one. Remember this guy? He played Billy Bob in Varsity Blues, Michael ‘Sugar Daddy’ Bernardino in the WB series Popular and Reggie Ray in Not Another Teen Movie.

Apprentice I hate Jen, and would love to see her go down (and actually felt sick to my stomach when she and Sandy all of a sudden became the “bobbsey twins”) but Ivana was such a dumb-ass. It wasn’t even the fact that she did it, it was the way she did it – she [...]

Ah, the Amazing Race manages to not let me down yet another week. I can’t figure out what’s annoying me more though, Adam un-naturally high-pitched whiny voice, or Victoria’s plastic botoxed, overplucked face?? Here’s a tip for all you IKEA go-ers (or as Freddy put it eye-kee-ay), build, build, build. Even I can can build [...]

Paris Hilton has gone dark…and looking a little Tammy Faye Baker-esque. Perhaps to try to clean up her image? Perhaps to try to look more like the skeletal Renee Zellweger: and speaking of our favorite skeletal celebs, it seems that Mary-Kate’s ex, David Katenberg, hasn’t given up on his skinny beauty. He went from Boston [...]
