It’s time for Hollywood to take out the trash.

You know what I’m talking about– Lindsay, Paris, Britney, Nicole, Nicole’s unborn baby, Nicole’s ugly boyfriend, and dare I say…Christina Aguilera. Always rubbed me the wrong way, that one.

H-town is seeming more and more like a ghost town these days with its little coke-infused starlets escaping the summer grit of the city for rehab.

Rehab: it’s the new Hamptons!

But, who is there to look to now? Who will inform us, mere plebes, of fashion trends we cannot afford and only imitate feebly by shopping at Forever 21? Who will entertain us while we slave away at our precariously filing - centric summertime internships? Have we no heroes anymore? No inspiration?

I try to think of understudies for Lilo & Co, but the best I can do is a list of the boring and banal: Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Jessica Biel, Scarlett Johansson. Ugh. Stars– they really are just like us. Meaning? Boring. Read More »

Both of my best buds are just some skinny bitches. Always have been, always will be. But their eat anything and still stay small bods are just not happening for a lot of the rest of us, and even at my best weight I probably wouldn’t be as small around as either of them. Ever since I hit puberty I haven’t been able to break below a size 10 at my best, though I haven’t been much past a size 14 at my worst.

I always assumed, however, from everything I saw on TV and in Hollywood, that in order to be considered beautiful as a female, I had be half the size I am.

Now I’m not going to give you some bull about how I’m perfectly happy with my body, I’m not. I’d definitely like to tone up and lose that tummy flab, but on my own terms, and in the meantime is it too much to ask to at least feel comfortable in the not even overweight body I’m in? But I have to face the facts; I am an average sized girl living in a skinny mini world, and the days when my weight would be considered acceptable and even hot (i.e. Marilyn’s day) are long gone.

Or so I thought. All my life I’ve been told that the thinner you are, the happier you are, the richer you are, and the prettier you are. Well if that’s the case, then why is it, in iVillage’s 10 Stars Over Size 2, every single one of those women are grinning their phat faces off? Umm, maybe it’s because they’re all rolling in the big bucks, and not starving or cutting themselves up with surgery to do it. Read More »

I’m only a couple of days into Summer Break and I’m already looking for things to do with all this time I suddenly have on my hands.

So yesterday, while looking at Angelina Jolie’s photo in Maxim’s Hot 100, I got this grand idea to go get a tattoo.

I mean, I was always too young before and my mother made many-a-promising-threat to kill me if I even thought about decorating (or in her words desecrating) my body with permanent ink…

But technically I am now an adult and everybody’s doing it… amiright???

So to make a better a case for myself, I scanned through the top 20 hotties of Maxim’s hot list to see who’s got some ink and who doesn’t…

I was quite surprised by the results… 12 of the 20 are sporting inked celebrity skin, some much better than others.

Take a look for yourself. Read More »

There’s nothing more annoying than when celebrities complain about their hard-knock lives.

In this month’s issue of Elle magazine, People.com reports that Jessica Biel opens up about the struggles of being hot in today’s Hollywood. Gag me.

In the article, Jessica says, “Parts that I want aren’t going to me. Like “The Other Boleyn Girl” with Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman. I don’t want to say there’s nothing I love that I can’t have. But there’s still the occasional script that the director doesn’t want to see you for. They want that top tier of girls.”

Biel was named “Sexiest Woman Alive” by Esquire magazine and said, “I thought the Esquire cover was going to be really positive for my career. But it wasn’t, really. [One director told me] ‘I’m not looking for the sexiest woman; I’m looking for the girl next door.’”

Here is the photograph that appears next to the new Elle article. Is it just me, or does this scream contradiction?

I really feel for you, Jess. You’re more than just the pretty face and killer body everyone associates with you as an actress. By the way, here she is, not exploiting her sexiness. And here she is again. And again. Read More »

It makes perfect sense that the Sexiest Body in the World wants to be the next big singer.

Actress turned wannabe vocalist, Scarlett Johansson, has been recording her own album, “Scarlett Sings Tom Waits” for the past year with Rhino Records.

The thing is, she’s actually pretty good! MUCH better than most of the other actresses-turned-singers we’ve seen in recent years. Although I must admit, I am one of the only people who liked Jennifer Love Hewitt circa “How Do I Deal?”

Nonetheless, Scarlett’s deep, rhaspy speaking voice works really well for her vocal stylings, and she already has the image to back it up.

Catch a snippet of her singing “Summertime” here, and check out her opening SNL last week making fun of Sanjaya, played by the hilarious Andy Sandberg here. She’s joking around, of course, but you can still hear her pipes.

This weekend, Scarlett made an appearance at Coachella, singing back up for Jim Reid of the band The Jesus and Mary Chain. Read More »
