Ashton Kutcher Two and a Half Morons I can’t take credit for this title – Roseanne came up with it first. Did you know Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are engaged? Of course you do, because she wore her ring to the Grove and both PEOPLE and Gossip Cop have confirmed with “inside sources” (the most official By Maria • Mar 04, 2014 06:09 pm
Jessica Alba Jessica Alba’s Drug Jessica Alba covers Nylon March issue and a few excerpts and photos have been released to PEOPLE Magazine. I love the picture of her in the plaid top and white blazer – I want those patchwork jeans so bad.

Parent Pimps PEOPLE Magazine Grows A Pair (Sort of) Yes we are still talking about Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard – ironic considering that they want more privacy, no? Kristen is still aggressively tweeting media outlets with the #pedorazzi hashtag, because I guess encouraging your followers to incessantly tweet accounts that aren’t engaging back isn’t a form of By Maria • Feb 25, 2014 01:31 pm
Media Manipulation Give me the Kate Mara! It must be incredibly laborious to be a Mara sister. Being so aloof and self-possessed is not easy (for these two). I look at someone like Tilda Swinton, who is always the baddest bitch in the room, and it is easy for her. She’s just cool. Rooney and By Maria • Feb 10, 2014 11:59 am
Baby and Bump Obsession The Righteous Couple A few days ago, I wrote about a series of tweets by Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell calling for a boycott on magazines that buy photos of celebrity children (click here for a refresher). It made a lot of headlines, with some people taking up the cause for “save the By Maria • Jan 31, 2014 10:02 am
Baby and Bump Obsession The Price of Mom Pimping When it comes to celebrity culture, 99% of celebrities will tell you what a scourge the paparazzi are – how they just can’t stand the attention and they want to go shopping at The Grove in peace, ok? This is what they say, but it’s not hard to spot By Maria • Jan 28, 2014 04:03 pm
Media Manipulation What the Fudge Celebrity collaborations and products have saturated the marketplace (perfume, cosmetics, clothing lines, accessories, hair care), but celebrity restaurants are not as prevalent as they used to be. Remember Madres (Jennifer Lopez), Nola (Britney Spears) and Geisha House (Ashton Kutcher and others)? It was very mid-2000s, like Ebola Hilton and By Maria • Jan 21, 2014 11:54 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Sound the Mom Alarm! There are some celebrity mothers that just piss other moms off – Gwyneth comes to mind, of course (is an organic lemonade stand that outrageous? It’s kind of standard farmers market fare these days), and Angelina is another. Apparently allowing your daughter to wear pants and short hair is something By Maria • Jan 15, 2014 11:49 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Aaron Paul 2.0 I miss Breaking Bad. A lot. So much so that when there’s a marathon or rerun on TV, I can’t watch it because I’m not ready yet. I want more, but, like FNL, I accept that they gave us the best and longest run they could without By Maria • Jan 08, 2014 02:18 pm
Lindsay Lohan Teenage Drama Queen Nothing wrong with being a teenage drama queen… when you’re a teen. But Lindsay Lohan is 27 – 27! – and still revels in behaving like the girl who was always crying and fighting with her boyfriend at parties. Page Six reports that Lohan’s been causing sh-t with a By Maria • Dec 20, 2013 12:10 pm
Child Stars The Family Cyrus As Lainey said last week, Miley surged in 2013. The music stands. It stands up alongside Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Lorde, and any pop album put out this year. Although Miley’s been famous for a long time, this is the year she actually arrived. But like By Maria • Dec 16, 2013 09:30 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Oh All The Women Who Are Independent… With the avalanche of celebrity-turned-lifestyle-experts, it’s easy to glaze over when they pull out the script: my family comes first, helping other women live more fulfilling lives, I just do this for fun but I’m really a wife/mom, cooking and cleaning are my hobbies, By Maria • Dec 12, 2013 09:54 am
Girly Throw Downs #Jesus I didn’t watch The Sound of Music on Thursday night because I’ve never seen the movie (and have zero interest in it) and Scandal was on. Not that I couldn’t have been persuaded to PVR it, but Carrie Underwood and Stephen Moyer aren’t high priority for By Maria • Dec 09, 2013 11:09 am
Girly Throw Downs The Scab that Won’t Heal: Lindsay and Paris 2013 A few months ago, I got a terrible cold sore that eventually went away, but kind of left a weird discoloration below my lip that I haven’t been able to get rid of. Sorry to be gross, but it’s an appropriate analogy for this Paris Hilton/Lindsay Lohan By Maria • Dec 09, 2013 09:46 am
Haylie Duff Are You Duff Enough? Haylie Duff. Who?! I got an email yesterday from DailyCandy about Haylie Duff’s Apple Pie Crescent Rolls. The sister of Hilary is in the news (I was going to say back in the news, but that would imply she was in the spotlight to begin with) because she’s By Maria • Nov 21, 2013 11:28 am
Alec Baldwin Alec Is Mad About Something (or Other)…again I officially have Alec Baldwin ennui. Usually I am highly entertained by his antics (and he’s been in this raging paparazzi cycle before). The narrative is pretty much set -- once he’s baited by a photographer, a slew of creative and vulgar insults fly (“You’re as dumb as By Maria • Nov 18, 2013 11:30 am
