Memo to People magazine:
You should have talked to Rob Lowe first - you know he already knows how to take great pictures of young women.

I'm no Martha fan, but that's sad about her dog. I lost one to renal failure once, and it's a slow, sad decline for the critter.
And now for something completely different...today is Posh's birthday. *pops champagne cork*

Betcha Martha's dog has the most elaborate shoe-box casket EVER.

I'm sure Posh appreciates the picture of Beckham at the basketball game.

Celebritology's gift to Posh is the link to that picture of Becks staring at the cheerleader's behind.
Have a MAJOR 34th, Victoria!

Liz - not sure if this is just me, but this Celebritology post isn't showing up on the "blog roll" of recent posts on the home page...

...more technical problems. Okay, this isn't so much a problem as kind of funny. The ad I'm getting at the top of this page right now is for the Edward Hopper exhibit at the National Gallery. Great exhibit. Only problem is it has already closed. Nearly three months ago.

Yes, as skank #2

In the photo of Beckham and the cheerleader, the cheerleader's thigh to be about the same size as Victoria 'Posh Spice' Beckham's waist. Maybe bigger!

Star Wars Christmas special!!!??? I did I reach the age of 36 and not know about this??
Posted by: jelo | April 17, 2008 9:49 AM
Alright. I just watched that Brenda Dickson nonsense from yesterday - there's 14 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
And Al Pacino is looking more and more like a crazy old man every time I see him.
Posted by: rachelt | April 17, 2008 10:05 AM
That Joe Simpson such a class act. Now he is pimping out the next generation.
Is John Mayer trying to sleep with every singing starlet in the USA?

From the article on the Marilyn tape:
"About this same time a short nudie film called 'The Apple, Knockers, and the Coke Bottle,' began making the rounds. It's composed of grainy footage of a bare-chested young woman amusing herself -she's Arline Hunter, a Marilyn lookalike but clearly not Marilyn."
Greatest. Movie. Title. Ever.
Do you think this one
Posted by: Wikijen | April 17, 2008 10:29 AM
Err, scratch that last line.
Jelo, George Lucas has said that if he had the power to do so, he would track down and buy every single copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special and burn them all. Fortunately, not even George has that kind of power and you can find it on YouTube. Don't miss Bea Arthur singing and dancing, or the cameo by Jefferson Starship. I'm not kidding.
Posted by: Wikijen | April 17, 2008 10:31 AM
jelo: the VHS video of the Star Wars Holiday special has a cameo in Weird Al Yankovic's "White and Nerdy" video.

I had assumed that it was a figment of Al's imagination but you know what they say: "You can't make this s**t up". Not even Al.

2)You say that like it's a bad thing!
3)So?

and he is making out with the boys, too, as it has been confirmed he and Perez Hilton hooked up. Good for John. Why limit oneself.
Posted by: Anonymous | April 17, 2008 10:44 AM
I remember watching that Star Wars Holiday Special. (None of my friends remember that travesty, so it's good to have outside confirmation.) I was traumatized by the scene when the Storm Troopers ripped open all of Chewbacca's kid's stuffed animals.

I am freaked by the picture of Martha's dog on the marble counter top. How is that different from watching rats run around a McDonald's? I myself am a furry animal, but keep my private parts off food-preparation surfaces.
Posted by: possum | April 17, 2008 11:09 AM
Speaking as a connoisseur of bad movies, I am shocked the list omits three of the greatest so-bad-they're-good movies of all time.
THE OSCAR with Stephen Boyd and Elke Sommer. ("My head's splitting" "And so's our marriage!")
The 1972 remake of THE GREAT WALTZ. ("Johann, I must speak with you." Strauss: "What?!? In the middle of a WALTZ?!")
WHEN THE BOYS MEET THE GIRLS. A rock'n'roll remake of the Gershwins' GIRL CRAZY, with Connie Francis, Herman's Hermits, Sam the Sham & the Pharoahs, and ... Liberace!

Paris Hilton can go take her daily dose of Valtrex along with some Zoloft. Kim Kardashian can park her trunk full of junk in my driveway ANYTIME.

Liz, where did the link between Gwynnie and "insouciant" come from? Did she describe herself as such?
Posted by: Catalina | April 17, 2008 11:59 AM
Possum, if you're freaked by a picture of a pet on a counter top, I recommend that you take a double dose of Lorazepam, grease up your thumbs, and play a zesty round of switch.
Posted by: Sasquatch | April 17, 2008 11:59 AM
Catalina,
Chatwoman herself first applied the insouciant adjective to Gwynnie.
Posted by: Sasquatch | April 17, 2008 12:01 PM
SJP stayed w/Robert Downey for 7 years?!?! I know some sober marriages that haven't lasted that long!
Posted by: Bored @ work | April 17, 2008 12:08 PM
Re Shatner -- he continually cut out his co-stars' lines, making his own part larger and theirs smaller, and he didn't know he was disliked?
Posted by: Wanderer | April 17, 2008 12:51 PM
LOL...I didn't even catch where Becks' eyes were going. Nice. Still, you can't fault a guy for looking. I mean, seriously...that's a view and a half.
The Star Wars Holiday Special...I remember seeing it broadcast, and I was probably about four. I still remember the one alien pouring the drink in the top of his head, and all the friggin' Wookiees, but not the cartoon with the groovy animated version of Han Solo. I know Lucas despises it, but to me, it's essential that something like that exists just as a point of pop-culture reference.
Posted by: 23112 | April 17, 2008 1:09 PM
Oh yeah, I meant to mention that Pacino looks like he has the world's most audacious handlebar mustache going there. What a loon. I still love him, though.
Posted by: 23112 | April 17, 2008 1:10 PM
Possum:
I don't really like animals (don't hate them - just not a pet person. Don't want to pet dogs or hold cats) but your reaction to the dog on the counter seemed a little extreme. I'm sure that prissy Martha washes her counter before she uses it for cooking/eating.
I wouldn't want a dog on my counter, but if one jumped up on it, I would clean it before I used it again. They're not poisoness or anything.
Posted by: Amelia | April 17, 2008 2:16 PM
Speaking of Posh, I saw some photos of her in her early-Becks days and when they had their first kid. She was quite cute and was actually SMILING. What the eff happened to that woman? (I mean, aside from not eating.)
SJP actually goes by "Sarah Jessica"?
Posted by: Californian | April 17, 2008 2:40 PM
Let's not forget that the dog's owner was Martha Stewart! Surely she can use her extreme homemaking skills to reanimate the dog, or at least find something adorable to do with its disassembled parts.
"With a hot glue gun, some lace, and the left paw you can make...."

Yes! Or spray-paint it gold and prop it up on your front stoop as a Christmas ornament! Maybe strap antlers to its head like "Max" in the Grinch.

Wikijen and Angela-
A CURSE on you for leading me to that horrible horrible thing on YouTube!! It has got to be the worst pile of crap ever committed to film.
and yet. . .I can't turn away. Oh gawd.

The dead SATC character: my money's on NYC's Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, who plays himself in the film.
When the Mayor's character is offed in a shooting at a massage parlour, Chris "Mr. Big" Noth reveals that he's really Detective Mike Logan, and the whole SATC movie becomes Law & Order: The Movie.
