Is it just me, or do you notice any similarities in these pictures?

I share in the love of Gary Oldman.
In that pic of Madonna her head doesn't look like it matches the body.
I didn't watch King's interview but after reading Shales' article I'm begining to think Nancy Grace should have done the Paris interview.

I saw a smidgen of the PH interview last night and because she did not look at LK or the camera when she answered, she appeared to me to be insincere. I, for one, was shocked. I would have thought that her PR types would have prepared her better. This girl needs help: I mean if she'd had a chauffeur none of this would have happened.

We need more people like Gary Oldman in the world.

I add to the love for Gary Oldman.
And I was just thinking yesterday that Madonna is starting to look like a flayed cadaver. She needs to put on some fat before she breaks a hip and ends up on a walker.

-Best Comments by a Celebrity Award goes to Gary Oldman.
-Paris has nothing to say before jail and still has nothing to say after jail.
-Forget the interviews; John Stamos should apologize for "Full House".

Why is it easier to believe that Paris found G*d in the bathroom of a club (but not a too crowded club because of the, you know, claustrophobia) than her cell in prison?
I hate to hate but SERIOUSLY.

Considering that he impregnated her (twice) and all, it's funny that KFed thinks that Britney is too young to be a mother.

I'm still kinda stuck on O.J. here... instead of practicing crying, why didn't he just plan to, you know, like, slice himself in the hand with a knife or a broken piece of hotel room drinking glass before the interviews.
Just sayin'...

Is it just me or is there an uncanny resemblance between Madonna and Heather Mills?
Except Madonna's looking almost as ropy and skeletal as Angelina Jolie. Ick.
Why on earth would Victoria Beckham be granted a title? Has she done anything?

CNN actually bumped Michael Moore for this piece of drivel. Since when is what some vapid heiress has to say more important then the state of our healthcare? Or anything else for that matter.

Because that, apparently,is Amy Winehouse's new thing.
You know, I love that she's such a hot mess. It's very "rock star" & it seems to suit her. Though I do wish she'd fix that dead dog she threw on her head.
Despite it all, I LOOOOVE her voice & album.

Love the Gary Oldman quote, just wish he hadn't been cast as Sirius in the Harry Potter movies. I had imagined a slightly younger, more handsome, but still dark figure...

Jessica Simpson--don't believe the hype. She did not "get" the trainer. Like hairdressers, trainers can work separately with people who split up or divorce. John isn't working out at Harley's place because unless Jessica, he has a REAL job--he's in the middle of a heavily scheduled tour. The NY Daily News' pictures are captioned so you'll think that they were taken two months' apart as a "before and after". They are NOT. The picture of her with her mammaries practically hanging out of the silvery dress was taken in early May at the Costume Institute. The picture of her in the dirty blonde hair and strapless blue dress was taken in mid-May at the Cannes Film Festival. Bottom line: the 5-Factor Plan does work--plenty of CREDIBLE celebrities and everyday people can attest to it. This is no knock on him or his program. John Mayer looks absolutely wonderful, so do Halle Berry and Alicia Keys. The other issue: If Jessica was really that much overweight to start with, then if the tabloids are to be believed, this is the second time in the last eight months she's gained and lost the same 15-20 pounds. She is a yo-yo dieter or she's once again spinning for publicity, or both. Once again, don't believe the hype.

Can the press stop covering people like Paris Hilton that have no productive talent of any kind. To hear her speak, I think her elevator doesn't go to the top.
