Best of 2008: Shelfy unplanned!
Considering she has the paps on speed dial, a TRULY candid photo these days of Shelf Ass Jessica Biel is a rare commodity. Which is why these are so delightful. It’s Shelfy in May after a long delay at the airport looking the worst, like, ever. And she knows it. And she’s pissed. She’s pissed because she did not plan this. Full Story
Worst of 2008: Clooney & Larson at the Oscars
It was a big statement. Dating less than a year, suddenly Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor brings his girl of the moment, acquired from Las Vegas, to the most high profile event of the year, the most coveted carpet, the most exclusive event…the Oscars. Only to send her to the curb, with a cold back of the hand, a couple months later, pretty much watching over her in the middle of the night as she packed up her sh-t and vacated his house. Full Story
Best of 2008: Kate’s Red Bikini
Remember when Kate Hudson ate a burger and wore a baby doll dress and all of you bumpwatch obsessed thought she was pregnant? Then came the bikini. The red bikini in Miami in March, leaving no doubt whatsoever that Kate was not expecting. Ugh. Why do we have to keep caring about people having babies? Why can’t we care more about her ass? How ridiculous is this ass? This manslinging ass is currently single. Full Story
Best of 2008: Rihanna & Chris Brown
It’s young love at its best… like a smarter version of Britney and Justin. Even though their denials are getting a little old, at the same time, they’re also refusing to engage, and that kind of deliberate protection could serve them well in the future. Will Rihanna and Chris Brown last? Well, at 20 and 19 respectively, probably not. Full Story
Best of 2008: Granny’s pillow
It was one of our favourite gossip activities this year, non? Watching Granny Freeze Nicole Kidman’s curious baby bump get smaller and smaller as her pregnancy progressed, seeing her at the gym every day, snickering as she’d put her hand repeatedly over her stomach even in “candid” photos just to make sure you knew she was having a Sunday. Full Story
Best of 2008: Supergay, superspray, Super Bowl
Remember Travolty at the Super Bowl in Phoenix? Fluffing it up with spray paint? Michelle and I were able to look at it up close when we saw him on the carpet. All I could think about when I was speaking to him was whether or not that sh-t is hard to wash off. Click here to revisit supergay’s superspray at the Super Bowl Full Story
Best of 2008: Girls Like Us
By Sheila Weller. My parents were immigrants. Their Western musical knowledge when they arrived in Canada was limited to the Beatles, Doris Day, and Elvis. Eventually my dad discovered Simon & Garfunkel and he karaoked Bridge Over Troubled Water (don’t you laugh!) at my wedding. So I did not grow up in a house with a vast library stocked with the classic albums, with the rock gods, the R&B pioneers, the jazz greats. Full Story
Best of 2008: Xenu the video
I almost forgot! I almost forgot about the video that made our lives! The theme from Mission Impossible, the GMD’s crazy cackle, the GMD’s crazy serious face immediately following his crazy cackle, the Xenu gibberish spewing from his mouth, and then his acceptance of that award swearing allegiance to LRH… it’s a far cry from the current iteration of Tom Cruise making his press rounds and it’s why we need this reminder – for those of you weakened by his remarkable publicity charms and yes, I’m including my colleagues at eTalk who were hypnotised by him last week. Full Story
Best of 2008: the new British Invasion
At the box office and on television, the young man quiveration factor came from the UK… Am aware James McAvoy is Scottish. But I liked the title…forgive me please? He’s from Scotland! He’s Scottish! And this summer, for a couple of weeks, his Wanted launched him up several notches – a star who can do the small, arty films as well as carry an action movie. Full Story
Best of 2008: Low classy Lilo NYE
Lindsay Lohan rang in 2008 in low classy assy style, spreading her dirty orange firecrotch all over some Italian dude at a party in Europe…to the delight of photographers snapping every single moment: As in a new rehabbed Lilo, looking drunk off her rag, straddled across the man on a coach, grinding up his crotch as he half heartedly kneaded her ass.
