Hey! Just wanted to let y'all know that I'm writing for Examiner.com. I'm Raleigh's Reality TV Examiner! Pretty perfect, right? Sooo, click here to check out my page! I'm JUST starting, but keep checking back for updates. Or better yet, SUBSCRIBE!!! I'll be covering a lot of MTV, VH1, Bravo, E!, Oxygen and duh- So You Think You Can Dance.
I love reality TV, but sometimes I feel like the stars of the show look so much older than their real ages. Sometimes I'll look it up on the Internet and be like "WHAT?! HUH?!" (think Britney Spears in her infamous YouTube video- the one in which she finds out that Spun has already come out on DVD).
Soooo, I'd like to go over some reality stars who, I believe, are fudging the truth about their ages. And I'm not saying they are for sure! I'm just trying to figure out if they are liars or if the TV just makes people look old. Okay, let's get started!
#1: Ashley from Rock of Love Bus, My ESTIMATED age: 25
REAL age: 22
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ashley. I think she is hilarious (and pretty)! BUT, I just didn't think she was 22. I'm 24, and I thought she would at least be my age. I was just surprised.
#2Tommy from Tool Academy: My ESTIMATED age: 26
REAL Age: 23
I love Tommy. I think he is really hot, even if he is kind of a dingbat. And he seemed like a sweet guy until the reunion. But I just never imagined him as 23. If I saw him at a bar, I would def think he was older than me. But I would be mistaken. Hmm.
Leslie from House of Carters: My ESTIMATED age (at time of the show): 24
REAL Age (at time of the show): 19
Yet ANOTHER of my favorite shows. I just wouldn't have guessed in a million years that she was 19 on the show. She is 22 now, and that is even younger than I would have guessed. I am really just baffled. This photo was taken at the time of taping. I couldn't find a good screen cap to show what she looked like on the show, but this is a really good picture of her. I'm starting to conclude that the TV just ages you.
#4 McKey from America's Next Top Model: My ESTIMATED age: 25
REAL age (at time of the show & this photo): 19
Now, I suspect that McKey looking old had a lot to do with the "make-over" Tyra gave her. If that isn't a mom haircut, I don't know what is.
So what do you think? In addition to 10 lbs, does the camera add on a few years?! I KNOW that there are other reality stars that I've thought look older than they really are, but it's hard to think of them on demand. I'll be wracking my brain- don't you worry - and
if
when I think of them, I'll add!!
Cliff Pant-one will be handing down the title of "Most Annoying Person on Reality TV" from Lacey of Rock of Love to Aliea from The Bad Girls Club. Here's why:
Aliea thinks that she is a "bad girl." All she is is an insecure hypocrite who talks trash to get everybody rilled up. She would never hold her own in a fight. She is always threating to kick Amber's ass, but the one time she ever did anything, she kicked Amber in the stomach when other people were holding her down. Not very hardcore. The only time she can hurt somebody is when they're totally defenseless? She could have fought Amber when she was on the patio in LA, when she was flinging lawn tables all around? But no. She waited until Amber was curled in a ball on the ground and kicked her in the stomach so many times that she bruised her foot. That is MESSED up!
Then the next day, she (along with others) gloated about it. She said stuff like, "Amber can't handle it. She's probably never been jumped before." Have you been jumped Aleia? Sorry, if you have, but it's not just a normal thing that happens. It's probably pretty hard to deal with. If YOU got jumped, I'm willing to bet that you'd be reacting even worse than Amber. Especially if hardly anybody was on your side, and it was 2 against 5.
On top of the fighting situation, Aliea:
I really could go on all day. Aliea is the most annoying person on TV, period. I don't know if anybody will ever be able to steal her crown. But this is actually a serious issue. Aliea has some real problems if she treats people the way she does, sceming and manipulating because of her own weakness and insecurity. So she really needs help. And apparently she has already been in a mental hospital, so I'm guessing she knows that something she is doing is not right.
Also, young girls who are watching this need to know that it is NEVER okay to fight. Most all of these girls are weak people who are letting anger get the best of them. They never make any sense when they're talking. They are total followers. And JUMPING people is especially never okay! It kind of makes me mad that they would show something like that on reality TV, but I guess they can show whatever they want. I just feel like this is going to make teenage girls think that it's okay to be catty, bitchy, manipulative, constantly drunk, irrational, immature, aggressive, explosive, and all the other things that The Bad Girls are.
So, I've been on a blob reading binge, and a lot of posts on Gawker.com and Jezebel.com have centered around MTV's The City (understandably, as both are based out of NYC). So, I feel it is my duty to share with you one such article about Nevan, Olivia's "social" cousin who is the epitome of charm and grace. Apparently, he got arrested for pursing a BJ by way of prossy in FL. The info originally came from The Smoking Gun, but I prefer Gawker. Of course, you can click on TSG links to get more info. Also, please pay attention to reference to Nevan's "rhinestone belt" and "shiny underwear." Here's the article.
And since I'm no the topic, you should probably read this old article from New York Magazine about Olivia Palermo. (Besides her, the article talks about some really fascinating stuff such as a [now down] website called Socialite Rank.) Apparently, there's a lot to say about ole Mad Libs (Olivia)... and a lot that people in good ole NC don't know! Gah- we should all just pack up and move to THE CITY!
Oh! I feel the need to add: has anybody else notice how damn skinny Whitney Ports legs are?! She has really dropped a ton of weight since The Hills started (which is typical...you know, becoming a larger than life celebrity and all). Here's a shot of Whitney, Mad Libs, and Erin's legs. Guess which sticks are Whit's!
Whitney's are the second pair (from whichever way you look), although, all those stems could use a cheeseburger. And cute pink shoes, Erin!
Last night, I went to Stool Pigeons and there were girls walking around in their panties. No bras! Yeah! They were wearing "body art," but it wasn't even realistic, like when the girls at the Playboy Mansion wear body paint to look like clothes. It was just like random blotches on their boobs. I can't believe that they were allowed in the place like that. I asked some guy about it, and I think he said his friend was a tattoo artist who does "body art," and they painted them for some other guy's birthday. I'm not sure if that's accurate; I was pretty tipsy...
So, I'm sure you're all dying to see the naked ladies. Feast your eyes on this:
I don't know who that guy is, but I think it's a great picture. People were pretty much lining up to have their pictures taken with these girls. Here is on where you can see the art better:
I wonder if these girls woke up today and were like, "Gah- I think I was walking around with nothing but panties on at the bar. Was I? No...I don't think so..." Aside from having photos taken, they did a little dance to some songs that a band that was playing. It was also pretty entertaining to walk by and just seem the plopped in a booth drinking a beer in their skivvies as if it were totally normal. Oh me. Good times.
XOXO~ Cliff PO
I saw something online about Chris Klein today, and it made me think of this old interview of him I read in Elle Magazine. It was probably about 2005 or something when the article came out. Either way, I remember reading it and thinking to myself, Wow! I can't believe the words coming out of this guys mouth. He's got to be the biggest ass-clown on the face of the earth.
I've dug up the interview:
ELLE: If you could play only one album to woo women, what would it be?
CHRIS KLEIN: I've been lucky enough that I don't need music for that.
ELLE: Is there a dish that you prepare to impress women?
CK: I don't need food to impress, man. It's a flash of a smile and a nice conversation. And at the end of the day, she's cooking the food.
ELLE: What's the one thing you could tell a woman to convince her that you aren't Paul, the thick jock you played in Election?
CK: Hello.
ELLE: This would convince her?
CK: Absolutely. You start making eyes across the room. Right then it's not a Paul Metzler situation. It's a predator-prey situation.
ELLE: Have you always been this confident?
CK: I grew into myself fairly late. The first girl I was ever with, you know, kissing and getting blow jobs, I was a freshman in high school and she was a senior. And she was hot too, by the way.
ELLE: When would have been a better time to start? Fifth grade?
CK: It's just that right at that moment, I didn't really get it. But she showed me the ropes, and I took it from there.
ELLE: Is there a common misconception that you feel you need to correct when you're with a woman?
CK: If there is and they don't get it right away, they're gone.
ELLE: Is there anything you don't want women to learn about you?
CK: Nothing. I don't have many secrets. At the same time, I stay very closed off until a woman deserves to know me completely.
ELLE: Isn't it tough for a woman to figure you out if you won't talk?
CK: Hey, man, I'm not here to hold hands and babysit. She's got to come to the table with something.
ELLE: Any weaknesses in relationships?
CK: Trying to control the situation. You have to give her enough credit to let her take the reins once in a while. But if it's a two-week spark-off, f--k it. Have a blast and fizzle out. It can be just as fun.
ELLE: How do you extricate yourself from these “spark-offs�
CK: I don't placate. I tell 'em straight up.
ELLE: Let's pretend we're dating. What do you say to get rid of me?
CK: You and I are definitely not dating. Role-playing is fun and all, but you're a dude and I'm an alpha heterosexual.
ELLE: You're an actor, for God's sake! Pretend.
CK: How hot are you?
ELLE: I'm a solid 7.5.
CK: I only date 8 to 10s.
ELLE: What's the worst thing a woman has ever said to you?
CK: "You're an asshole." The time it really hurt was when a stranger said it. I was just trying to tell this chick to get lost. I try to treat all women with respect whether they're pretty or ugly. I want to be nice and be like, "Wow, thanks for the attention. But get out of my face."ELLE: Are you cool with it if a woman you like gains a few pounds?
CK: I'm not tolerant of that at all.
ELLE: So do you tell them to lose weight?
CK: When a woman isn't feeling good about herself and you combine that with her period, eventually she'll ask you if you like her body. You have to say no.
ELLE: Don't you think they're just looking for you to say, “You look beautiful to me, honey�
CK: If they do, it's placating. I don't placate.
ELLE: Who's "the one that got away?"CK: Every beautiful actress I've ever worked with. I've got this policy that you don't sleep with them; it complicates stuff. So it's the Heather Grahams, the Rebecca Romijns, the Mena Suvaris, and the Leelee Sobieskis of the world. They all got away.
ELLE: There's a lot on the Web about your being a devout Christian.
CK: That's because I went to Texas Christian University.
ELLE: So it's not as chaste as people might think?
CK: There you can be as dirty or as clean as you want to be. The ratio at TCU was three women to one man. It's an expensive school, full of daddy's little girls. I liked it when they called me Daddy. And they did, too, because they were all hungry.
ELLE: If you assembled all the women you've ever slept with in a room, what would they say about you?
CK: "We ended on good terms."ELLE: If you had to commit to the number of women you'd like to sleep with before you marry, how many would it be?
CK: I think that for every dude the number is massive, and it just takes that one chick to punch you in the face, and all of a sudden you're walking down the aisle, whether you like it or not.
ELLE: Speaking of marriage, why did your engagement to Katie Holmes end?
CK: We both came to realize that it had run its course. We started dating when we were 20. We had an absolute ball, but we grew up. There's no reason to fight that.
ELLE: Do you feel like you'll ever be friends?
CK: Are we friends? Absolutely. Do we talk? No.
ELLE: Do you follow coverage of her engagement to Tom Cruise?
CK: No way. I've got fantasy football to play.
Wow. I guess freako Tom Cruise doesn't seem to bad compared with this winner. I'm still unsure though...I mean, maybe he's joking. I can't imagine he would actually say stuff like that. Although, who would knowingly make such a jackass out of themselves in a major magazine for a laugh? Has Klein even been in a movie lately? Hmm. He and Ginnifer Goodwin just broke up. I wonder if he'll still be pulling in 10s? He's not exactly the big C-Lister he used to be!
I have a bone to pick with Jessica Simpson. Her shoes are complete junk! I have had two pairs of JS shoes, and they've both come apart ridiculously fast.
The first pair I had was a patent leather peep-toe platform sling-back in black. The patent leather was scrapping of all over the shoe. It was terrible. Pretty much half the shoe came off, and I had to color it in with Sharpie. Then I got a very similar pair of Steve Madden shoes, and the patent leather peeling off was never an issue. Hmm. Sounds fishy!
So after that first incident, I vowed never to buy JS shoes again. But then I saw a really cute pair that I liked/needed. (I will give Jess that much- her shoes are good looking!) I gave in and bought them. I figured they were safe since they weren't patent leather.
Well, I have had the shoes for about three weeks now, and they are complete shit. After ONE week, the shoe material started to fade and rub off. Now on top of that, the stuff snagged and tore off two spots in the heel. The inside and the bottom of the shoes are totally worn off. I mean, I do walk around downtown a lot, but this is asinine. I have other shoes that manage to hold up despite my grueling foot transportation routine. It looks like I've had these zapatos for YEARS.
(This picture is just showing SOME of the wear around the top of the heel.)
I feel it is my duty to share this information with the public so that I can help other people avoid making the poor decision to buy Jessica Simpson shoes. Buying Simpson's shoes is essentially equivalent to throwing your money in the disposal. They may LOOK good, but they are VERY poorly made. She lures you in with trendy, comfy styles, and just when you've worn them to the point where they can no longer be returned, they come to pieces! RUBBISH! And moreover, her shoes are NOT that inexpensive. I mean, they're generally around $60-$100. For that much, I would prefer my shoe to at least last a month. I've bought better quality pumps from Target.
So, I am not going to buy any more Jessica Simpson shoes...no matter how intensely I'm being drawn to them. Too bad her singing career is going down the toilet. This may be all she has to fall back on. I really think she has some good designs, and the shoes could be a great thing for her...if she would just start making them worth the money people spend on them. I might write her people a letter. I'll update you if I do.
I'll be the first to say that I was confused about Paris Hilton's show My New BFF. What was the prize? Winning her friendship? Was Paris really going to hang out with the winner after the show? Was the winner going to have to move to LA? Would Paris have to pay the winner's rent? LA is a lot more expensive than other places! Did they win money at all? A car? Why would somebody want to win the friendship of Paris? To just follow her through town? To be carted around to parties? Will Paris really call the new BFF up to dish about gossip? Will they go to lunch? Will they cry on each other's shoulders and have laundry fights in their skivvies? Apparently, I've thought about it a lot. I just felt like the whole show was stupid, and I never believed that Paris and the BFF would actually hang out after the show wrapped.
On her myspace, Brit posted a bunch of, what appear to be, paparazzi shots of her and Paris doing everyday BFF activities. So I guess they have been hanging out since the show's finale. Oh- and it also said that Brittany quit her band. I guess she WASN'T trying to use Paris to get ahead with her career as a rockstar. Take that Vanessa!
This picture features Paris and Brittany leaving a tanning salon. There are also pictures from the same day of them going to a pet store.
Here they are on their first night out together as BFFs.
Here they are leaving an art gallery. Don't trip, Paris!
And finally, here they are in Miami.
I guess this is what life is like when you get to be Paris Hilton's BFF. Thrilling! Although, Brittany does appear to be in some sort of drug induced walking coma in some of these shots. Don't get me wrong, I think she is ADORABLE. She just looks stoned out of her mind. Not to say that she is actually stoned. Her myspace says she does NOT smoke or drink. I guess that knocks out crack, but myspace doesn't have a box to check for Ketamine, so we'll have just assume...
Last night, I braved the throngs of teenage girls and went to see Twilight. Now I can confidently say that Robert Pattinson is the most attractive person in entire universe, and it seems that...I'm slightly obsessed. Why do such beautiful people exist, if not only to torture us?! They slap him on a screen, and then I'm left to know that we'll never be together...unless I moved to Hollywood and became an actress (which is my dream...well my dream is actually to do Broadway musicals in NYC, but that's another story).
So now I'll cut the crap- the movie was great. It was pretty hilarious. Edward was a riot when he had to sit by Bella in science class (oh- and we all rejoiced when they won the "golden onion"). I also got a big chuckle out of the Cullens making Italian food for Bella. You see, they made her Italian food because her name is Bella, an Italian word...you just have to see it. Oh! And the special effects only added to the humor. When they ran in supersonic speed, they looked like rabid gerbils! It was great.
Some of the romantic scenes were hard to watch. And despite what you may be thinking, NO I don't mean it was hard watching ole' Rob kiss another woman... They were difficult because some of the moments were so awkward. It was like I felt embarrassed for them at some parts. The teenage sexual tension was out of this world! You could cut it with a knife!!! That tension could be derived from the rumored "off screen romance" going on between Pattinson and Kristen Stuart, but that's just according to Life Style Magazine.
Obviously, Pattinson was the perfect Edward. He was a bigger jerk then I made him out for in the books. But what girl doesn't love a little bit of a-hole (ehhh...that didn't quite sound right...you know what I mean)? But yeah, it was fantastic when Bella and him made their big entrance as a couple at school for the first time. Amazing! Some of the finest cinematic work I've seen to date!
A few things I noticed:
So yes, I cannot wait for the sequels! AH! I can hardly stand it. I'm a woman possessed, and I'm not afraid who knows it! And if you haven't guessed, I give Twilight MMMMM! FIVE OUT OF FIVE Ms!
Lacey Conner is the most annoying person on the planet. I want to throw telephone books at her head. How is she still on Rock of Love Charm School? She's like a roach that won't die (figuratively speaking, of course). Can't Sharon see that she is the devil?! Or is she just still on for ratings?! She makes me insane!!! AHHHH!!! MY blood is boiling! I can't believe Dallas got expelled. Dallas should have beat Lacey up when she had the chance (since she ended up going home for nothing).
Why is Lacey so annoying?
1. She acted like she was a starving artist when she really lived off her dad's money (and she's 32).
2. She acts like she is 14, trying to play games and get in everybody's face (and she's 32).
3. She has Hot Topic-esque dyed neon red hair (and she is 32).
4. She harps and harps about animal rights and she eats SALMON!!! (I don't even eat salmon!)
5. She looks like a wet rat/white female version of Ja Rule.
6. She thinks she's a rock star.
7. She is a master manipulator!
Typically, I try not to point out other peoples' bad points, but I think Lacey is the most annoying person on television (even more so than Gary Busey, Dustin Diamond, Dunbar from Real World, Neveen & Cordilla from Bad Girls Club, Spencer Pratt and Lauren Conrad combined). I just can't help it. I'm sure she would think it's fab that people hate her. I bet she loves it. If you've seen her on TV, you know what I mean. All I'm sayin' is that I'm going to quit watching the show if she's not expelled next week. Oh wait, who am I kidding...I'll never quit.
I just found my old Ja Rule "Pain is Love" (so true, right?...haha) CD, and it brought me back to 2001. It's a pretty good CD. Unfortunately, I unknowingly purchased the "clean" version of "Pain is Love," and we all know that the cursing is what makes rap music so enjoyable. You see, this is back when CDs were sold in stores, and KMart (where I bought it) only sold "clean" CDs.
Whatever happened to ole Ja? I used to love him, and I even thought he was kind of cute.. .even if he did look a little like a goofy wet rat. But I really did think he was cute, and now that I'm thinking about it and looking at his photos, I don't know what I ever saw in him. Well, I'm looking again now. Maybe he's okay. Opp, wait...there's a picture of him in jean shorts! So NO! I'M TORN!
Anyways, I did a killer impression of the guy in the Down Ass Bitch music video. You know, the guy who shouted, "WHERE'S JA?!?"
Apparently he's been in some movies, but the last one was in 2005. His last album was 2004. What's he been doing for the last three years? He did get arrested with Lil Wayne for drug and gun possession in 2007. Wikipedia says that he has an album coming out called Mirror (the release date is TBA). If he's friends with Lil Wayne, maybe it could be a smash. I don't know. I'm sure there are a lot more people who are more informed about Ja than yours truly. We'll see what the future will bring for this young rap artist. In my opinion, it will hold bright things.
I watched Rock of Love Charm School tonight, and I'm pretty sure it's the best show ever.
I have a question though, and I feel confident in assuming that I'm not the only inquiring mind out there that is wondering WHAT THE HECK WAS UP WITH RAVEN'S HAIR?! I don't remember her from Rock of Love. I'm guessing she got voted off pretty quickly since I have no recollection of her in the series. I don't know if her hair has always been so terrible, but GOOD LORD!
The mop is obviously a wig. It has to be a wig- the worst wig I've ever seen in my entire life. For one, it is lopsided. Besides that, it's platinum blonde on a black girl (not the most natural look ever). So there is this one point in the show where Lacey tries to rip the wig off Raven's head, but it won't budge. It's stuck on there good. Lacey is like, "Ohmigod I thought it was a wig!" Well I say, it is a wig! It doesn't matter if it is stuck to her dome somehow. I think she's got it sewn on. A girl on America's Next Top Model had her wig sewn on her head before. See Raven's do for yourself:
Raven is obviously delusional. You can see her black fuzz peeping out from underneath. You really have to see it on TV to get the complete idea! I feel like the gap between the wig and the head is large enough for me to slip a few fingers in. Ugh, what in the world?!?! I question the sanity of anybody who walks to the mailbox with that rug on their head- much less go on VH1 for all the world to see. Gesh, Raven! She also thinks she was put on this earth to host a new age talk show, so that may further prove my insanity claim.
Too bad Raven decided to leave the show after only one episode. I was hoping I could have a weekly segment documenting the journey of her coif!
PS- Why does Heather think she is such a rockstar?! She looked like the biggest mess out of all of those ladies, and THAT is saying A LOT! She looked like a clown/tranny/old lady who sits in her attic putting all her jewelry on. I don't even know where you buy clothes like that. I guess that's probably a good thing for me. Oh, and I can't forget the hair and makeup. Seriously, Heather?! Anyways, Heather looked like a wreck. I just had to say it.
I haven't watched Making The Band since the season 2 (I think) finale, where Diddy selected the girls who'd later make up girl group Danity Kane. Aubrey O'Day was one of two girls who got to stick around after season 1 and eventually ended up "making the band."
When I used to follow the show, I thought Aubrey was cute. She was one of my favorites. However, when the DK album came out, I lost interest. It sucked. So I didn't think about Aubrey or Danity Kane for a long time. Plus, I didn't want to watch the following Making the Band seasons, because Diddy makes me want to jump off a building. Seriously, he's so annoying!
Well, this morning I had some time to kill before going to work. I plopped down on the sofa, and I switched on the TV. Shockingly, it was set to MTV. Making the Band was on. I'm guessing whatever episode it was came from the most recent season. They were all in Cabo trying to get some guy to conquer his fear of dolphins.
Suddenly, Aubrey came on the screen and she looked DIFFERENT! It was apparent that she'd had breast implants, but her face looked weird too. Then I couldn't tell if maybe she'd just gained weight in her face, and that is why it was looking funny- or if she'd had work done on it.
Okay, let's cut to the chase (as they say in the business world- Thanks Helen Hunt!-p.s. I'm sure NOBODY got that). Here is Aubrey before:
This is when she's all natural looking, I guess. It's before she was actually SELECTED to be a part of the band. It's when I thought she still looked cute. She kind of looks like Sheryl Crow.
Still looks pretty, but different.
This is the 2nd album cover. I think she looks totally different from the 1st photo. Now we will get to the unrecognizable...
She looks like a mix between Daisy from Rock of Love and a fish.
Poor doggie!
BAH! TANOREXIC!!!!
Just not good!
Looks different to me!
And here she is again. Yes, all of these photos feature the same woman. PS- I won't even comment on her attire in these photos.
So yeah, I know that nobody cares about Aubrey O'Day, but it was just on my mind. And once something dumb like this is on my mind, I get a little OCD and it's all I can think about. That's part of the reason I started this blog! But yeah. Am I the only one who thinks she looks totally funny now? Seriously, if you get a chance (well, def don't change your plans for this but...) tune into Making the Band to see how wonky she looks. Apparently, she is getting thrown out of the band now, so that could make for a juicy episode. These pictures don't even do what I saw on the tube this morning justice.
Okay, I'll admit it- I watched the first two episodes of Paris Hilton's My New BFF(and I'll probably watch each and every episode in the future). I guess I just have an affinity for quality television. Even if I do have questionable taste when it comes to the tube, I still have a point to make. That point is this:
Above, is a photograph of Kayley Gable. She is a contestant on Paris Hilton's show, and she's also the granddaughter of Clark Gable. Besides that, she's also the house party animal. According to her bio, she's already been to rehab. At least she's trying to make positive changes!
Now, how old do you think Kayley is? Here's another photo to jog your noodle:
Well Paris is 27, and Kayley certainly looks older than her, you might think. Perhaps she's 32 or maybe 29 at the youngest?
EEHHHH!!!!!!!! WRONG ANSWER! Kayley is 22! In fact, she JUST turned 22 on the other night's episode! So on episode 1, she was only 21! Wow! What a spring chicken!
Let's take a look at some other people Kayley's age:
Ashley Tisdale is 23! A whole year older!
Amanda Bynes is 22! Lookin' good, girl!
Michelle Trachtenberg is also 22! She looks so young! So fresh faced!
Here's LC in her signature pose. Overlooking the fact that she is an annoying life ruiner, she is 22 and bangin'.
And finally, we have Leighton Meester who is 22. She looks gorg!
Oh yeah! And here's Kayley again. Ripe young 22! Just sayin'....
Go to her myspace for more hotness!
Let's just take a look at the evolution of Amy Winehouse.
In the picture above, you will see Amy looking fresh-faced and healthy. This is pre-ink and before she was very famous. Lookin' good, kiddo!
Next we have Amy just when Back to Black came out. She was getting more famous, and she'd lost a lot of weight. She'd started dating Blake (as you can see the tattoo of his name over her heart). Here she looks pretty normal, by famous people standards.
Ok, from here it just becomes a mess. I'm sure you're all aware of what a crackhead Winehouse has become, but I'm just amazed. Amazed that she is still alive. I'm serious! The photos are insane! Not only is she emaciated, but she is flailing around all over the place. I just can't get over it. Apparently everybody is trying to help her, but it's not working- obviously. I can't wait to see a movie about her life.
Anyways, I'm not sure of the order of the following photos, but everything I see is just worse and worse.
I know it's old news and that there are a billion other photos like these, I just can't believe she hasn't ODd or gotten locked up or flung herself into traffic or jumped off a building. I'm baffled. It's really sad, and I'm not sure she'll ever make a full recovery. OH, AMY! PLEASE GET HELP!!!
Eva Amurri is extremely fascinating! She's the 23 year old daughter of Italian director Franco Amurri and actress Susan Sarandon. For one, I have always thought that Susan Sarandon would be an amazing mom. I don't know her personally or anything, but I base my assumption solely on Sarandon's role in Little Women. I also really really loved Thelma and Louise, and although she and Jimmy didn't exactly seem like the paternal types in that movie, I still hold firm to my hypothesis. But yeah, I imagine that being Susan Sarandon's kid would be pretty excellent.
Besides that, Eva has been in some movies herself. Saved being one of my favorites. She played Cassandra, the sarcastic Jewish girl in an evangelical Christian school. She was hilarious in that movie, and I think she looked really great...even if she did look a little Hot Topic-ed out. She also dated Macaulay Culkin in that movie, and I think they had some pretty great chemistry.
Eva has also been other movies like The Banger Sisters and The Education of Charlie Banks. Maybe her film career wouldn't be as successful if she didn't have famous parents, but whatever. I think she's talented and acting is probably in her genes.
Another cool thing about her is that she graduated from Brown University. So at least she'll have that degree to fall back on if her acting doesn't work out.
I think Eva Amurri is one of the most beautiful people ever! I don't know why. She's a little quirky looking, and I guess I like that sort of thing. It makes her all the more intriguing. She also kind of floats under the radar, which makes her more mysterious and even more absorbing! And lastly, her birthday is on March 15, and I have some sort of obsession with people born on that day.
There you have it, FASCINATION AT ITS FINEST!
PS This new Typepad jazz is terrible. It's going so slow and freezing up every second. Maybe I'll update and make this better once the kinks get worked out...hopefully they WILL get worked out!!!
Drew Barrymore is in th
e commercial for CoverGirl's TruBlend. Every time I watch it, I get the feeling that Drew might've hit the Mystic one too many times before the filming. Last night, the ad came on when I was watching TV with Jen and Kitty. Wondering if I was alone in my opinions, I asked them if they thought something looked not quite right with Drew.
"OHMIGOSH, YESSSSSSS!" Jen shouted. Turns out that she has always thought her skin looks weird too. I'm not alone in this. Although, not everyone agrees. Katie thinks it is just my TV. I beg to differ.
Besides looking over-bronzed, Drew's skin looks totally blotchy! What were the commercial people thinking? Did they look at her face when they were editing the film? I mean, it's a commercial for foundation, so the skin is the number one most important thing in the advertisement! I can't believe they let this go on air! Her hair and her face are virtually the same color! And her lips too! Don't even get me started on the pucker! You can hardly tell where her mouth begins or ends. She is one big monochromatic mug!
Maybe I'm over-dramatic. It just irritates me that her skin looks so crazy in an advertisement for foundation- a foundation celebrated for it's blending powers, no less! Did something go wrong during the shoot, and they had no time to fix it?! Did Drew fall victim to an inexperienced airbrusher? What in the world?!
You be the judge, and let me know what you think!:
I want to be just like Barbara Walters, so I'm starting a segment similar to Barbara Walter's 10 Most Fascinating People. Cleverly, mine will be called Cliff Pant-one's Most Fascinating People. As I'm sure you can guess by the title, I'll be highlighting somebody whom I find fascinating each segment. Simple enough!
Here goes:
Today's fascinating person people (I just had to do a duo) are Peaches and Pixie Geldof. [START CLAPPING!]
I really don't have any idea who these people are, yet I'm still greatly intrigued by them. According to my good friend Wikipedia, Peaches and Pixie are the daughters of Bob Geldof (formerly of the band The Boomtown Rats) and Paula Yates (the late TV personality and writer). It seems that Peaches and Pixie are British socialites who have been compared to Paris and Nicky Hilton. I, however, find them much more fascinating than the Hiltons, which is why THEY are on CP's Most Fascinating People and Paris and Nicky are NOT.
What is so fascinating about Peaches (long dark hair) and Pixie (short blonde coif)?
eldof is Peaches' full name. I can't figure out if Pixie has any middle names, but I figure Pixie is unique enough. They also have sisters named Fifi Trixibelle Geldof and Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence (she is a 1/2 sister).
glamor girls instantaneously! 
Now, I'm not saying that teenage drug use is a good thing, OBVIOUSLY! I am just trying to be like Ole' Babs and report on what THE PUBLIC wants to hear about, and that is batshit crazy rich teenagers.
There you have it! Good news and good night!
On last night's episode of 90210, it was revealed that Dylan Mckay (Luke Perry) is the father of Kelly's baby. YES! I was rooting for this.
Now, I don't really like the new 90210. The old characters are the only reason I watch. I will probably quit watching it soon if they don't put more focus on them. The new characters are corny. It would be one thing if they were so corny and over-the-top that it was silly, but they're not. They're just boring. I think Naomi should develop a drug problem, then I might like the show better. It needs more angst!
All that thinking of 90210, got me remembering how much I loved Dylan Mckay. Gosh, he was really the quintessential tortured male teenager (with Jordan Catalano in a close second)...and so good looking, as I'm sure you can tell just by glancing at the photo of him in his poncho/baja. I'm so glad he's the father. Maybe he will come back for some appearances in the new season. Otherwise, he'd just be a deadbeat dad, and nobody wants that!
You can get Dylan Mckay's complete biography on Wikipedia. Here are some of my favorite highlights:
Anyways, I just love Dylan. If he comes back, and they delete all the new characters from the show (except for Naomi - who should develop a drug problem and be subjected to an intervention led by Dylan. Maybe the two could somehow have a tough-love relationship with underlying tones of sexual tension, which could never be acted upon due to the extreme age difference.), the show will be great. I'd watch that every week!
I just felt the need to remind everybody how great Pink looked during her VMA performance last night. I love her! I had a slight obsession around junior year of high school (when her Missundaztood album was out), and I think it might be resurfacing. Anyways, maybe I'll chill out with the celebrity gossip after this one.....maybe...
So check out the photos! You can click them to make them larger!
Well, Britney Spears did a little skit with Jonah Hill to open the show. She looked great! When she was making her way to the stage I got goosebumps! Everybody was cheering! What a great moment! I wanted to cry tears of joy! I LOVE BRITNEY, and I can sense her big comeback coming any day now. I can't wait for her next album. AND SHE JUST WON A VMA FOR BEST FEMALE VIDEO!
Anyways, Rihanna preformed after that. It seemed l
ike it would be good with all those crazy glowsticks, but it was kind of lackluster. She didn't sound great. She also had a rat-tail/mullet coif (haha- good use of the word of the day). I find this hairstyle worrysome. I LOVE RIHANNA! She is one of my favorites, but this just wasn't very amazing.
I just mostly wanted to say that I love Britney! AMERICA'S SWEETHEART REIGNS AGAIN!
Oh, it's a lovely Sunday night. I'm not doing anything, so I figured I'd cover the VMAs for y'all! I'm sure you're thrilled.
So, the first item that struck me as news-worthy was Katy Perry's outfit. First of all, it is kind of fug. That is besides the point though. I mean, Taylor Swift's outfit might have been worse. I just don't care about that kind of thing! 
What was disturbing about Katy's outfit were her hot pants. They were all bunchie! Anybody who knows me, knows how I feel about saggy bunchie britches! Katy's weren't saggy, but the corset was all bunched up in her FUPA! Now, if she had on a darker colored pair of shorts, this issue could have been avoided. Unfortunately, she didn't. Sorry Katy! I love your song, Thinking of You, and I think it's great that you got your outfit at a thrift store! I just don't think the flesh colored panty pants were the best choice!
"Don't ever cry over some
one who wouldn't cry over you."
Gosh, I got shivers!
I posted earlier about the girls on 90210 getting tattoos when they were in 8th grade. After I wrote that, I went looking online to see if anybody else had thought it was weird. I didn't really find anybody who was shocked by them being so young, but I did find a few people who said that the tattoo was NOT the Chinese symbol for friendship (like they said in the show).
Because I know that inquiring minds want to know, I went back to look at the tattoo from the show. Here it is:
Now this is what keeps coming up when I Google Chinese symbol for friendship:
Does NOT look the same to me! Anyways, this post probably indicates that I have too much free time on my hands. Either way, I wonder what the show's tattoo actually means. I'm also curious if the girls will have that tattoo every time they wear a bathing suit or something. It's really and unfortunate tattoo, and I wouldn't think the producers would make such a fugly marking permanent- but tattoos ARE forever...unless they introduce laser removal into the plot line.
Anyways, I'll never get a tattoo in another language. With my luck, I'd get one that was supposed to say "I love you," and it would really say "MOVE IT ASSHAT!"
LC is so wise. She
gives such great advice,has really amazing insights and can convey any emotion with just a look; anybody would be fortunate
to have her as a friend. BUT- most of us
dont live in The Hills, and we arent lucky enough to be guided by her clever Lauren-isms
firsthand. So, Im bringing some of
Laurens most astute moments to the inter-web. Even if youre not interested in the show, you can learn a lot from LC. Read on and let Lauren's words counsel you:
This scene takes place at a restaurant. LC is on a date with Doug, a long lost friend from high school.
Waiter: Can I get you something to drink?
LC: Can I get a Fuzzy Dragon please?
Waiter: A Fuzzy Dragon.
Doug: What kind of beer do you have?
Waiter: [inaudible]
Doug: Ill have
that. Ill have Stella.
LC: [smiles coyly to waiter] Thank you. [To Doug] I think
your drink says a lot about you.
Doug: So what does a beer say about me?
LC: That youre a guys guy.
Doug: Is that a good thing?
LC: [leans head on hand, smiles wistfully and shrugs shoulders]
Mhmm.
WOW! BRILLIANT! I wonder what a Fuzzy Dragon says about Lauren!?!?

Madonna's new Sticky and Sweet tour has just kicked off, and photos of her outfits 
have been hitting the internet. Now, Madonna is 50 years old. Some of the outfits are a tad age-inappropriate. I know that she looks GREAT. She works out ALL the time, and she wants to show off her body...but she is still 50.
The sexy clothes don't really bother me, but there was this one outfit that really had me shaking my head (and it is actually not really revealing at all).
The problem I have with this outfit (pictured to the right) is that it looks like something a sixth grader would wear (minus the fishnet stockings). I actually really like the concept, but really- heart sunglasses and a Rainbow Bright belt on a 50 year old woman?! She wore this during "Get into the Groove," so I'm sure she was just trying to be retro or whatever. 
I don't know. Maybe this look would have worked better on Miley Cirus- or pretty much anybody under 30 (and even then, over 25 is pushing it). It just looks ridiculous to me.
But YES, Madonna does look great for a 50 year old. I'm not trying to hate on her or anything. She's in amazing shape. Here is another shot for the tour where her outfit is a bit more sexy, but I still find it more fitting for a woman of her age than the Roller Girl ensemble. Just click on it to make it bigger.
And then I thought I would include a photo of her album cover, because I DO find that creepy. I don't think I'd ever want to see a photo of somebody old enough to be my mother in that position. Does she really need to be sitting spread eagle and gumming her gloves? Come on now!
Sunday night, my sisters and I went to Try
st at The Wynn in Las Vegas. Tryst is a really awesome club. They have an enormous waterfall, and it's half inside and half outside. It's actually probably one of the neatest places I've been to.
Well everyday, Tryst's website posts photos from the night before. We went to the site to see if there were any pictures of us. We didn't see any, but there were a ton of this one couple that we really got a kick out of. These people look like mannequins. I'm not sure if they are famous or not. They're doing model poses, and t
hey actually look like wax figures. Here are some of the shots. I hope you find these as hilarious as I do. The waitresses with the sparklers are a magnificent touch. If you recognize these people, PLEASE fill me in on who they are.
I'm dying of curiosity!
So anyways, you should really go to Tryst if you are in Las Vegas. And if you want to see more photos of these people, check out the gallery at Tryst's website.
So I am in Las Vegas, and the other day, a really tall guy got in the elevator with my sisters and I. Unable to keep from making comments, Amanda asked the guy what basketball team he played for (simply because he was tall). He said, "New Orleans." Then she asked his name. "Hilton," he said. That was it. So we met him. Maybe he is a fabulous player. Maybe not. We don't know. All we know is that he's not too chatty.
XOXO~ Cliff Pant-one
According to RUMORS, Daisy De La Hoya (from the AMAZING Rock of Love 2) is dating Dave Navarro. Dave plays guitar in Jane's Addiction. He was also on a reality show, 'Til Death Do Us Part, which followed Dave and Carmen Electra as they planned their wedding...that marriage didn't work out.
Sooo, Daisy and Dave met when she was a guest on his internet talk show. Now, they've been spotted out and about together in LA. Dave is Daisy's #2 Top Friend on myspace and Daisy is Dave's #4. JUST SAYIN'.
Anyways, seems to me like Daisy just wants to date famous rock stars. Whatever. Maybe she really just falls for the rocker types. I just wanted to report the gossip, since I am obsessed with Rock of Love. I wonder if Bret's jealous??? Hmm...
Now you can sleep better!
Matthew McConaughey has a brother named Michael (or Rooster, as his friends like to call him). Well, Rooster had a baby and decided to name him Miller Lyte after his favorite beer. Good thing he's not a Natural Lite drinker. The baby could've been named Natty Lite. Michael's wife told him that if they had a baby boy, he could pick the name. She said if they had a girl, he'd probably want to name it Ginny after Miller Genuine Draft! I can't believe the wife agreed to the name Miller Lyte. Maybe they could have just named him Miller and given the baby a different middle name...
Anyways, I think it's great, but Michael's wife should probably get some sort of a trophy for being the most compromising wife ever.
