Serendipity

It was so clingy in that first photo, I thought it was a pantsuit, not a dress! It's not as heinous as a dress, but the boobage is a little tacky. And her nipples are doing that Paris Hilton wonky-eye thing.

Is it merely coincidence that "bump" rhymes with "frump?" I don't think so. Her fashion hormones have taken a plunge.

Don't necessarily like her, but I like the name. A little different, and a little classic. I like the name Honor, too. But "Honor Warren" is a bit of mouthful.

"Garlic and Sapphires" by Ruth Reichl. It's a fun summer read about the author's stint as the NY Times food critic. She goes to elaborate lengths to disguise herself (with help from a former costumer who was a friend of her mother's) for some of the restaurant visits. The chapters have simple recipes for a dish she liked in a restaurant or from a family recipe, stuff like that. I like her easy, funny writing style.

Creepy dad Joe Simpson might as well just have his name legally changed to "The Source."

Yes, how dare she show her bare back and shoulders in Vanity Fair! She's never exposed herself in such a way. Tsk tsk. Disgusting.

Yes, that shot is way creepy. Not quite Creepy-Dad-Joe-Simpson creepy, but darn close. IMO, Billy Ray was a bit of a "has been" and is riding Miley's popularity for a spot back in the limelight. I also think the whole photo incident is being blown up to increase mag sales and I don't think Vanity Fair instigated the publicity either.

Preggers? *yawn* That was an easy money bet on why they got engaged.

Well, since you brought it up... drives me nutso when I hear news anchors referring to a solitary soldier as a "troop."

Oh, the things you read when you don't have one of those smileys that vomit. And, how many people are going to say, "get Honor and stay Honor"....BAD name. Teasing until the end of time...good, this loser deserves no less. She really looks lousy. I don't think she likes being preggers, even though it's a big "honor". Wait until Cash walks because of her whining... She can give the kid her maiden name so people will say "Honor Alba" which no one does because she's such an idiot.

Fine, you can hang out with Chris. But please continue to stay out of Three of Cups. You were a total bitch when you were there, and nobody wants you back. Chris is so cool to hang out with that it's amazing they were together as long as they were, and that he is still friends with her. Spill the beans, Baby Doll! Details!!

Oh god, Mamatina's uber-tackiness comes to lingerie. *sigh* You just know it's going to be a special slice of fashion hell. At least there is a 75% chance the lingerie will be worn under clothing and we won't have to see it.

Yea, Good ONE, Jessica. I was just reminiscing about the time that Ella put a cigarette out on her cheek and had a heroin blackout. What a friggin' jackass. How much of a brat is her kid going to be? Bought and paid for Father, check, completely self-absorbed brainless Mother, check. OH MY GOD, she's having Paris Hilton. No, Paris Hilton is like, too white. Remember, Jessica is like, PROUD of her Latina heritage, and she's like, "excited for my baby to be brown. I just have to believe the dark gene is going to survive. Cash and I are like, please." (And I'm like, barf.)

Didn't Austin Comstock make a similar dress on Season 1 of "Project Runway?"

Her dress reminds me of when birds fly into window panes.

Beyonce's dress looks like it was a Project Runway challenge to design a dress inspired by Paris Hilton's wonky eye.

Doesn't she ever go anywhere with the baby's daddy?

They don't call him "Woody" for nothin'!

Maybe she shoved her newly shorn hair extensions under her t-shirt, hence the bigger belly.

Paging Tara Reid, paging Tara Reid! You have a part that is MADE for you! You won't even have to get in character. Oh, and not to worry about those pesky drug tests the insurance company usually makes talent take - one, you aren't talented, and two, sobriety not required for the role of Courtney Love.

That's the face of a top model? And presumably a photo-shopped face, at that. Heck, I've seen better booking photos of drug prostitutes.

Hey Halle, rumor has it that modern airplanes can fly not only FROM Los Angeles to NY, but also FROM NY to Los Angeles! Yeah. And why, by the way, does raising your kid as "one happy family" mean the family is in the city YOU pick? Took two of you to make the kid, right?

ITA that photoshopping has rendered some folks unrecognizable. My guess is that celebs don't complain about it because they're so vain they think they're fooling public into believing those images are their real bodies (fake abs seem to be all the rage) and faces. But holy cow - that image of Fergie looks like they crossed her face with a photo of Eva Longoria, Mariah Carey and a Pekingese.

So Courteney is being the better parent by making fun of Tater Tot's and Jayden's mom on her TV show?

From The Sun; November 6, 2007: SIR Paul McCartney put his divorce nightmare on hold as he enjoyed carefree days with mega-rich lawyer’s wife Nancy Shevell. The pair strolled along a windswept beach in the posh Hamptons resort on New York’s Long Island. They chatted warmly over breakfast and shared late-night dinners and cocktails at restaurants. They spent time at each other’s mansions – six miles apart on the ritzy millionaires’ playground. And at one point, 65-year-old Macca put his arm around Nancy after he drove her home – and they kissed tenderly. The ex-Beatle and beautiful Nancy, 47, hooked up over three days last weekend. Macca was also seen shopping at an exclusive lingerie store before meeting the classy socialite. She wed Bruce Blakeman, a commissioner of the New York Port Authority and a partner in a top New York law firm, in 1984 – and they have a teenage son, Arlen. The couple, seen in New York society as a powerful political team, are both active Republicans and donated money to George Bush’s presidential campaign in 2004. Nancy is vice president of her wealthy family’s successful transport firm based in Elizabeth, New Jersey. She was known as Nancy Shevell Blakeman but has recently dropped her husband’s name. Macca jetted to the US following a week of bitter rants from his estranged wife Heather Mills. But he did not seem to have a care in the world as he enjoyed dinner with Nancy on Friday night at an East Hampton restaurant, where they chatted and sank cocktails until 3am. On Saturday afternoon, Paul visited Nancy’s mansion before stopping at the Top Drawer lingerie store to buy gifts. Later the couple were spotted outside a cinema before heading for dinner at Mount Fuji sushi restaurant. Nancy then drove her rented Kia car to Macca’s mansion, where she stayed for nearly two hours before going home alone. On Sunday the pair embraced before sharing a café breakfast, and laughed over the meal. They went for a long drive in Paul’s Ford pickup, later stopping for a stroll on the beach near Macca’s East Hampton home. They kissed tenderly as Paul dropped Nancy back at her place. Then she jumped in her car and drove to his spread. They remained inside the secluded mansion for several hours. An onlooker said: “With Nancy, Paul appeared happier and more relaxed than he has for a long time. They were chatting like old friends and seemed totally wrapped up in their conversation. “It was windy when they went for a walk on the beach. They walked together but with their hands in their pockets. “Later Paul dropped Nancy off. As they were saying goodbye, he leaned over and gave her a kiss before she got out.” Sources in the Hamptons said Paul and Nancy would have met at a string of social events. And they were spotted together at least six times back in August. A witness who saw them in a restaurant said: “They were at the bar chatting. At one point she moved in close and kissed him on the neck.” Yesterday, one source described Nancy as a “powerful and feisty woman from a very wealthy family”. The source added: “She spends a lot of time in the Hamptons and is invited to a lot of the events Sir Paul goes to. It is likely they have known each other for a while. She is also keen on yoga, as is Paul. “But despite her wealth Nancy comes from modest roots and while she is politically-minded, she is still down-to-earth. Paul finds her interesting and challenging.”
