The X Factor TV Ratings Are Underwhelming
Well now this didn’t surprise me at all. This was the new Simon Cowell singing competition show, with Paula Abdul as his sidekick. I think a lot of us just got sick and tired of Simon’s snarky, and downright mean, insults to young kids trying to sing their little hearts out on American Idol. And I use to cringe each time Paula opened her mouth and said strange things. American Idol was just a breath of fresh air last season with J-Lo and Steven Tyler. I, for one, did not miss Simon and/or Paula at all. So I had no desire to tune in to his latest show, and I guess many other people agreed with me.
Schwarzenegger To Write “Unbelievably True” Memoir
During his Terminator days, I use to think Arnold was a cool dude. But after hearing about the “secret” child he had with the family housekeeper, it just threw him in with the slew of other famous men who have been in the headlines for being a jerk. So, Arnie, sorry, just not interested in reading about your life. Hope your book sits on the shelves in bookstores and collects dust.
Britney Spears Looking Forward To Turning 30
Must be nice. Let’s see. Fame and fortune. Oodles of money in the bank. Two adorable kids. Beautiful face and great figure. Love. Number 1 album on the Billboard charts. Oh and don’t forget the fabulous tour she’s on right now getting her ego and her bank account stroked every night. I’d look forward to just about any age if I had the charmed life she has. … Don’t mind me. Just feeling a little sorry for myself today.
Nicole Richie’s Big 30th Birthday Bash
And another young lady is turning 30 and had a whopping birthday bash to celebrate. These starlets really do live in fairyland, don’t they? Nicole had her party at the Regent Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills. Mindy Weiss planned the party and she had a three level cake by Cupcakes Couture. Flowers by Dolce Designs, and even Christina Aguilera sent a video of herself from Hong Kong to wish Nicole a happy 30th. Hmm. What did I do for my last birthday? Oh yeah, hubby and I went to Applebees. Not quite the same.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s $350 Facial
So while I’m feeling poor and old while reading about these celebrities, wouldn’t you know I came across an article detailing how when Gwyneth Paltrow was preparing for the Emmys, she just decided on a whim one day to mosey into a famous spa and get a $350 facial. It’s suppose to make you look youthful, tight and glowing. Doesn’t Gwyneth already look youthful, tight and glowing. How much tighter and youthful and glowing does she need to be really? That’s a valid question, right?
David Beckham Is Designing Long Johns
Okay so maybe we thought David would be designing something a tad more sophisticated than long johns, but many of us women remember the famous “underwear ad” that he was in. So we’ll take a look at his long johns too. He plans to have his long johns in store by Valentine’s Day. Awww.
Maria Menounos Is Freezing Her Eggs
I don’t like Maria Menounos and I’ll tell you why. When somebody is nasty, we don’t easily forget. It happened in 2007 at the Golden Globe awards, and America Ferrera, who played the adorable Ugly Betty, had just received an award for Best Actress In A Television Series. Somebody made the mistake of putting a microphone in Maria’s hand and told her she could interview people. She pounced on poor America Ferrera and nastily asked her how she felt about the people who didn’t want her to play Ugly Betty. Then she followed up with insisting America stand there and thank people she forgot to thank in her acceptance speech. America graciously sidestepped both of Maria’s rude comments, but we don’t forget. Therefore we don’t care about your eggs being frozen either, Maria, so there.
Brad Pitt Still Apologizing For Mean Remarks About Jen
Brad, Brad, Brad. What were you thinking? I would imagine an ex-wife could be very sensitive hearing their former husband saying things like “I wasn’t leading an interesting life” and “trying to pretend the marriage was something it wasn’t”, and top it off with “I’m satisfied with making good choices and finding the woman I love – Angie”. Oh so Jennifer Aniston is chopped liver or something? Brad has been backpedaling ever since those quotes came out, but the damage was already done. I remember Jen saying one time how Brad had a sensitivity chip missing. Boy, was she right about that!
Carrie Underwood Debuts Bangs At A Music Fest
Oh my. Must have been a slow day in Hollywood for this to make headlines. Although I must say Carrie did look really cute with bangs.
Justin Bieber Planned Big Surprise For Girlfriend Selena
If this isn’t over the top, I don’t know what is. Remember, these kids are still in their teens. So it’s date night, and Justin takes his girl to a Demi Lovato concert at the Nokia Theater. Pretty good date, huh? But it gets better. Right after the concert, Justin said to Selena “Come with me”. He took her by the hand and they went underground where, apparently, the Staples Center is. And they were the only ones there, because Justin reserved it just for them to watch the movie “Titanic”. Just the two of them. Very romantic for such a young kid. But who gets to do stuff like that in real life though?
