We’re about to be tired of: Brangelina’s pending birth

For the love of God let Angie bring forth life into this world in peace!!! I’m sure her birth will be just as beautiful as that “Miracle of Life” video we all watch when we are in the 4th grade. You know, it’s that video we were forced to watch during gym or health class when the boys and girls were split up to learn about our changing bodies.

P.S. Nice hat Brad. Where’s Maddox and Pax?

Jolie and McAvoy teach Curving Bullets 101

Okay, so I’ve seen the preview for Wanted a couple of times now and I am excited to watch it.


Wanted in HD

It looks like Angelina Jolie is still putting her degree from the “Look like a sexy bad ass assassin” school to use and James McAvoy is still holding on to his Euro-hottie title without any sign of letting go (unlike his predecessors, Orlando and Jude).

And based on this trailer, their little “curving the bullet” trick seems to be the centerpiece of the movie. They do it like five times in the preview. Is that all these assassins can do? Curve a bullet and shoot the wings off of flies? Pssssh - do they actually kill anyone? Or do they just look cool while curving their engraved bullets? I’ve been curving bullets since I was 10 years old.

Okay - I haven’t. But can I join this badass fraternity so I can learn?

What is Brad saying to Angelina?

Hmmmm…after careful consideration, I think Brad is saying the following to Angelina:

Dude, I am so hungry. Can we go to the Olive Garden after this? They’re having that neverending pasta bowl special this weekend. We are so hot together.

SAG Awards: The rest of the best (and worst)

The never-aging Michelle Pfeiffer (and Bay Area resident) arrives in a simple-chic Versace dress. As the villianess Velma von Tussle in “Hairspray,” Pfeiffer was nominated for best ensemble along with her other castmates in the fun-loving musical.

“Grey’s Anatomy” actress, Chandra Wilson adds a lot of glitz to the red carpet in this gold number. She looks like one of the three: 1.) a “Solid Gold” dancer, 2.) A member of a ’60s girl group or 3.) a Las Vegas Tina Turner impersonator. Take your pick. Even so, she still looks sassy!

Marion Cotillard already won a Golden Globe for her role as Edith Piaf in “La Vie En Rose,” but this Nina Ricci gown with superb gathering details wins her tons of red carpet glamor points.

There’s something about Viggo Mortensen’s (star of “Eastern Promises”) suit that I like and there is another part of me that thinks it’s too much. For the most part, it’s decent. It gives us something different in the realm of men’s red carpet looks. On the other hand, it may be looking too costumey for me.

Angelina Jolie (in vintage Hermes) and Brad Pitt (lookin’ a bit scruffy) arrive on the red carpet. Oh my god! Who’s watching Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh? Better yet, who’s watching all of the third-world countries?

The dress is interesting enough for me to like it, but Jena Malone’s new blonde ‘do is distracting. I liked her better as a brunette.

“30 Rock” actress Tina Fey poses with her award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy in a one-strapped, draped Alberta Ferretti gown. Side note: “30 Rock” comes into a close second to “The Office” for me.

A hero in fashionable armor

This weekend I went to go see that CGI movie extravaganza Beowulf in 3D.

Besides being annoyed by all the tweeny boppers stomping up and down the stairs during the movie, I would say that I liked watching this literary classic brought to life on screen. Even so, I don’t think the 3D did that much for me…but that’s besides the point.

The point I am trying to make is that if you’re going to be a hero, you have to look good. First and foremost, it’s all about the armor. If your Viking armor isn’t shined and stylish, then you will have no confidence when you are fighting the hideous Grendel.



Second, you have to be fit. You don’t really see morbidly obese heroes fighting off the evil, magical demons.

Last, and certainly not least, you have to have nice hair. Really nice hair. Beowulf’s locks seem very tamed and manageable. I am sure he uses some great product to keep every strand in tact while fending off dragons and such.

It also doesnt hurt to have a superhot water demon with a seductively tempting accent (what is the origin of this accent anyway?) as your arch nemesis (a la Angelina Jolie):



To make things even better, she is drenched in gold. I think any man (and woman) would give into her sexiness. Even if it does cost your self-dignity.

Can we see Viking armor, gold body paint and indistinguishable accents as a new trend? I think so!!!

Best DRESSED of the week: Aug. 10, 2007

Like clockwork, I present to you the going-ons of fashion, pop culture and all that other juicy stuff that makes us all have a sense of humor:

  • Gucci and Chanel are launching a full-on code red attack on a threatening teen 15-year-old boy from Gothenburg for getting a package of counterfeit sunglasses with their label on it. He “claims” he didn’t know where they came from. This is what you get for pulling a fast one on luxury brands - naughty! naughty!
  • Oh god - speaking of naughty - Lindsay is at it again! She discreetly stuffed Louis Vuitton items in her bag while at an Elle photoshoot…but I think this is before all her rehab, drunk driving and all that other mumbo jumbo. She deserves a real big spanking! BAD GIRL!
  • The latest issue of W Magazine has someone on the cover that CLAIMS to be Gwyneth Paltrow. This picture will have me sleeping with the lights on for a while.



  • GOOD GRIEF! A bunch of designers at this year’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week are paying a homage to Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang! How fun! Heatherette, Isaac Mizrahi, Betsey Johnson, Pamella Roland, and Project Runway alum Laura Bennett will work with MetLife to present collection and auction that benefits non-profit organization, Dress for Success.
  • MTV announced their nominees for their annual music video awards. Are they actually trying to act like they still play music videos?
  • Mena Suvari sports her new hairstyle (or lack thereof) for a new movie. No, it’s not the remake of the 80s cult classic, Legend of Billie Jean, it’s for Hemingway-based The Garden of Eden.
  • Mena’s new do:

    Billie “FAIR IS FAIR!” Jean:

  • You may have been asking yourself, “Is Mr. Big going to be in this Sex and the City movie?” And the answer to that is…ABSO-F*CKING-LUTELY. Chris Noth with play Sarah Jessica Parker’s on-and-off soul mate in the movie.
  • According to Rolling Stone magazine, Zac Efron is America’s new teen heartthrob. On the latest issue of the mag, Zac serves as eye candy for every teen girl and sexually confused boy in the world.



  • Little Maddox is all grown up. It seems like the tyke is following in the footsteps of parental units Brad and Angelina as he graces the cover of Life & Style for his military-themed 6th b-day party.



  • Prince Harry also got a cover of a magazine…sort of. The latest issue of Radar, has caused a stir amongst the world because the picture was obviously tinkered with. Cause we all know that Prince Harry is more of a briefs kind of guy.

  • I am so happy that the Backstreet Boys (minus one) have a new single! Very hearstring-tugging, mushy and poppy! I LOVE IT! Listen to it here!


  • Michelle Pfeiffer is officially the QUEEN of summer cinema! With Hairspray going strong and her Stardust performance getting buckets of love, she is one hot commodity! She’s so hot that she FINALLY got a star on the Hollywood walk of fame! It’s about damn time! She should’ve got it for her performance of “Cool Rider” in Grease 2.


  • The fashionably flawless modern pin-up girl, Dita Von Teese has been chosen as the cover girl for Frederick’s of Hollywood suitably titled, “Pin-up Parade” lingerie line. I swear, there isn’t one moment where this lady does not look fabulous.

    The Best DRESSED of the week: July 20, 2007

  • Possibly the best-dressed couple in the world, David and Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, set up shop in the U.S. ,giving the paparazzi more celebrity meat to feed on. This gives us yet another distraction from more important things going on in the world - like the absence of pudding pops in my local Safeway.
  • In more Beckham news, Victoria Beckham’s Coming to America special on NBC was a total flop - but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I am one of the few obsessed with the newest Brit import. Plus, I loved it when she got pulled over and she was embarrassed because she was wearing flats. Check out the video clip:




  • EXPECTO PATRONUM!: Harry Potter-mania is at its peak this year as the final book, The Deathly Hallows hit the bookstores July 21! Will Harry die? Will he have a hot and heavy makeout session with Hermoine? Will there be a big musical number at the end? In any matter, some pages of the book apparently leaked on the net and now the world has come to a complete standstill. GOD HELP US ALL!
  • Gwen Stefani is suing retail chain, Forever 21 for copying her Harajuku Lovers logo. After announcing the lawsuit she made up a song that went something like, “UH-HUH THAT’S MY SH*T! FOREVER 21 IS TRYIN’ STEAL ALL THIS!” She definitely isn’t a Hollaback girl - not one of any kind.
  • Oh look! More news on Britney! We can never get enough of that. Click here to indulge!
  • Having a third nipple is SO “IN” right now! Apparently everyone has (or had) one - Mark Wahlberg, Tilda Swinton, Carrie Underwood and now Lily Allen came out of the triple-nipple closet! Watch this clip here if you don’t believe me:



  • Another celeb has decided that she is a fashion designer! But it’s not as bad as I want it to be. Penelope Cruz is designing a collection for retailer Mango. It’s something that Milla Jovovich (of Jovovich + Hawk) did it before, so I can deem it as a decent style venture.
  • HAIRSPRAY is out in theaters today! No, I am not obsessed with the movie AT ALL.
  • Photos of Brangelina top the list of the most pricey celeb photos, whereas this photo of me and Paris Hilton is still going strong for 25 cents per copy.



  • Speaking of the heiress, Paris Hilton is saving the world one pair of jeans at a time. She recently signed a deal to create a denim collection that will debut at Kitson. And as a surprise, the collection of clothing is going to be sold for the inexpensive starting price of $30.
  • It seems as though Angelina Jolie is taking time out of her own world-saving schedule by being the newest face of St. John. Isn’t she just breath-taking?


  • In a recent Internet poll, Salma Hayek was crowned as the world’s hottest celebrity. I came in at a close second.
  • And last but not least, I want to wish a Happy Birthday to my sister, Karen! Her b-day was on July 19, so I guess it’s belated - but HAPPY BIRTHDAY nonetheless!
