If Tyra Banks is fat then I'm a chubby chaser.

Wow, this is the best Celebritology in a while. Oompa-Loompas, fat Tyra, and that pic of Will Smith and Tom Cruise is a winner too. The Cruiser looks like his face got chubby.

"Britney Spears: Banned From Starbucks"
Now *that* is an album I'd buy.

Tyra is chubs in the world of modeling. Tyra is normal in the actual world we live in.
Posted by: jelo | December 11, 2007 9:06 AM
Do you think anyone takes anything Janice Dickinson says seriously?
Of course Tyra isn't actually fat. Neither is Jennifer Love Hewitt. Hell, most of the women in Hollywood and entertainment industry aren't fat. We are all aware of this, shall we move on to some more serious news, Today show?

In that pic, Brit look like she be showing her primary talent area. But maybe it's just me.

Yes, I was waiting to see a photo of Paris Hilton comforting Tom Cruise.
Posted by: POS | December 11, 2007 9:24 AM
Well, I think it's sweet that Paris Hilton can show some concern for someone other than herself - shows shes human. Plus, who doesn't love an oompa loopa???
Yes, Amy Winehouse IS the dirtiest female celeb - but I don't get why Paris is on that list. I don't recall ever seeing her looking unkempt - silly maybe, but not dirty.
"Hairy-Kate and Trashley" - ha ha ha! Normally I think those PETA people are a bit round the bend, but that is funny.
Who is the father of Courtney Love's daughter? It's not Kurt Cobain, is it? I hope the daughter gets lots of therapy....and um, why is she sleeping with her mom at 15 years old??? creepy.
Maybe if Starbucks bans Britney, she will lose a little weight - those frappacino's are calorific...
And finally, Janice Dickenson is an, (what was that phrase Liz used? something like)
assinine ignoramous, and should REALLY go away...Tyra Banks is not fat. JLH is not fat. Britney Spears is also not *fat*, she has just put on a little weight and could stand to tighten up a little - going back to work would help with that.
Posted by: sunnydaze | December 11, 2007 9:36 AM
It may be a little premature to ban Brit. Since Starbucks raised their prices and McDonalds started selling that swill they call coffee, their sales are down. It seems that people aren't willing to pay for overpriced lattes and CDs like that used to.

Yes, Francis Bean is Kurt Cobain's daughter - she was really young when he killed himself, so probably has no recollection of it.
Posted by: Betty | December 11, 2007 9:40 AM
Wow, a nice story about Paris. Maybe, just maybe, she can straighten herself out.
Don't pick on the Olsen twins for wearing fur, pick on them for their clothes choices regardless of material.
I'm at work today so not studying. Leave me alone.

What the hell happened to Courtney Love? When did she become Asian.
Posted by: Anonymous | December 11, 2007 9:50 AM
Janice Dickinson is the Cryptkeeper. It's a bit hard to take anything she (it?) says seriously.
Also, I think it's funny that you followed the story about Amy Winehouse being voted "dirtiest" with a story about one of the few women who could definitely give her a run for her money!

I always imagined when Pierce Brosnan went after a photog it would be with some super James Bond-esque devices. I'm a little disappointed it was plain old corporal assault (although I suppose fisticuffs is still pretty manly). Not even any ink pens/dart guns! No exploding watches! No timed bombs expertly planted on annoying paps who don't discover what that mysterious ticking sound is until too late!
Posted by: PGM | December 11, 2007 9:57 AM
James Bond would have - at the very least - strangled the guy with his own camera strap.

Hey Liz, what happen to the note worthy news that Will Smith recently phoned Barack Obama to let him know that "he is in" and willing to do anything asked of him to help Obama to become the next U.S. President. Was that an oversight on your part, or what?
Posted by: Curious | December 11, 2007 10:13 AM
OMG, poor Rumer, imagine the horror of seeing your father doing the "Souljah Boy" in public.
Posted by: Lisa1 | December 11, 2007 10:24 AM
thanks Betty!
And ep, just remember, it's only cause we lurv you! Hope you do well.
Someday, I hope to embarras my son by showing up at the same club. It will probably be a 4H club, but what the heck - maybe there will be ponies!

Will Smith slouching while Tom 'Oompa Loompa' Cruise stretches to the extent of his lifts is a great picture.
I'm so glad to see someone else make reference to the Olsen twins trollness. I've thought they looked like a couple of troll dolls since they were tiny children but mr. jes thought I was just being mean.

i was at a party earlier this year, lots o' movers and shakers and 'pretty people' when in walked my son and his 'posse'...i stayed (because i was there first) but it was pretty weird. also my daughter's fella (whom i've not met, yet) looks like my first real boyfriend. she'd be mortified. i'm holding that ace in the event i'd like her to break up with him!
*you know what's fat, janice dickinson? you're overly plumped lips. that's what's fat. the noive of some people.
*paris and the oompa-loompa, eh. *shrugs shoulders* if there had been a pony involved...now, that's news!

"Yes, Paris Hilton stayed with him until an ambulance came to take care of him," one onlooker said of the Oompa-Loompa casualty.
Once the orange-faced, rollie-pollie character was out of danger, Paris offered to do each of the EMTs in the back of the ambulance, in trade for some oxycontin.
Posted by: MisterBear | December 11, 2007 11:27 AM
jes, I have long shared your assessment about the Trollsen twins... stunning resemblance.
Posted by: logan | December 11, 2007 11:44 AM
Sorry, I can't read any of today's Celebritology news because the sound of Elvis spinning in his grave over that pic of his ex, his kid & grandkid is drowning out everything else & making it hard to concentrate to read.

The Presleys. Whoa. Priscilla is careening wildly into Joan Rivers/Michael Jackson plastic surgery territory. Does that face even move?
Jack, please. You were great in your day but do get a grip.
And the same to that gross Janice Dickinson, plastic from top to bottom and suffering from a serious case of self-absorption.
Posted by: Californian | December 11, 2007 12:29 PM
Hairy-Kate and Trashley Trollsen -- YES! Those two always look like they just crawled out from under a bridge after a 3-day bender and are in desperate need of a shower and comb.

I met Presley's granddaughter backstage at a Cabrera show once. She looked better than that but still rich/bored/shabby and smoked like a smoky thing. I wanted to feel like I was connected with greatness, but it only amounted to "eh".
Posted by: 23112 | December 11, 2007 1:33 PM
Re the Presley women: Is it familial eyeliner addiction, or are they just emo because they don't have ponies?
