One can assume, I believe, that all the support staff on the campaigns are not just there to help with the speeches and handshaking, but also to tell the candidates, and their spouses, what to wear, how to appear approachable, etc. So what is going on, over at Obama’s camp, with the styling of Michelle? I hate to say it, but she’s looking a lot like Condi. It’s as though someone in their camp thought, well, this is how Americans accept a black woman looking.
Granted it’s no seperated at birth, but notice the flipped hair, the dark suit, the little pearl earrings… I would think they would have done Michelle’s hair more differently than “a messy” version of Condi’s That Girl flip. Not only do I question what it say about politics, but what does it say about politicos’ opinion of the American People and what we’ll accept? Open wide for pablum. Yum.
It’s the Cally primaries. Get out there and be an American! Let your freak flag fly!
I was having coffee and there was one of those annoying screens with photos of news with captions, stock info, and several different scrolls of infotainment feed going by. Suddenly an item listed from E! online: Jimmy Kimmel buys Gary Coleman’s pants. Excuse me??
Turns out Gary Coleman, using an assumed Ebay name, auctioned off a pair of his pants on Ebay. The winning bid was… wait for it…$400,000. Wow! But the buyer never paid. Somehow Jimmy Kimmel swooped in and bought them for the discounted price of only $500. They are a pair of size 12XL-Regular Gap Kids sweats.
This is so sad on so many levels. Gary Coleman needs money. He’s selling off his pants. His pants people! Someone considered paying almost half a mil for them, and then Jimmy Kimmel spent half a grand. And the saddest part of all, Gary Coleman wears Gap Kids.
Don’t you hate it when you run into some other kid in the school yard wearing the same thing as you?
One of the things I do, as a New Yorker living in LA, to make me feel connected with home and my family who are still there, is pay an extra three dollars a month to DirecTV to get the East Coast feed of ABC. So randomly, in the middle of the night, or whenever, I’ll watch local ABC news out of New York; it’s so rewarding, not only do I get to feel relieved I’m not suffering through winter (it’s only in the 20′s today), but I also get to see odd, “only in New York” moments.
A building in Williamsberg, Bklyn, was evacuated on Sunday by FDNY. Not only did they have sprinkler and loft conversion violations, but there was an illegal Matzo factory in the basement. Awesome. Illegal Matzo, completely undocumented, no prescriptions needed; just a good hook up.
This raid is just another example of New York City’s unfair treatment of the Jews.

Maila Nurmi, Vampira, who starred in Ed Woods‘ Plan Nine From Outer Space, among others, died last week; she was 86. Nurmi, who modeled her character of Vampira on Charles Addams’ Morticia, was in turn the inspiration for Elvira. Nurmi hosted horror films on TV in LA in the 50′s and was a true camp queen.
I raise my flask and lower my fake lashes, and drink to you, Maila. I say we all wear long, black, slinky, low-cut clothes this week. Now where did I put that push-up bra?
It’s official, no Golden Globes this year, just an announcement to the press of the winners. I think it’s great that SAG is supporting the WGA, but everybody is so busy looking at the writers’ wallets, that they’re not seeing who this latest move affects in a fiduciary manner: the red carpet “journalists,” the fashion houses, and the paparazzi. I ask now for a moment of consideration for all those who make a living off of the self-congratulatory awards-show juggernaut.
And now you are free to resume your life, knowing that are at least three hours this year that you won’t waste wondering who dressed Nicole.
Okay, first Laci Peterson was abducted and killed by her husband Scott (he’s on death row in San Quentin).
Now, there’s a guy in Guadalupe named Hans Peterson (that’s him in the picture, creepy, right?), who became a French national, then killed his physician, Dr. David Cornbleet, and now can’t be extradited. His children have set up a petition to try and get the French government to allow his extradition.
AND now Stacy Peterson (it even rhymes with Laci Peterson), Chicago mom, is missing, and Police Officer husband Drew Peterson is suspected of having killed her and disposed of the body.
I don’t want to be an alarmist, but if anyone out there is getting into a relationship with someone who’s last name is Peterson – or you’re hiring someone, or going to a new doctor, or your child has a new homeroom teacher whose name happens to be Peterson – maybe rethink things… and run.
I’m all for peace in the Middle East, but can the media stop representing it like Bush is actually doing something?? We’re hosting the summit, that’s it. Bush’s idea of peace in the Middle East is the Romans out of Jerusalem. It’s an obvious last ditch effort to try and end his presidency on some sort of positive note. And those photos they keep showing, of Bush shaking hands with people he wouldn’t let date his daughters, and that shit eating grin…
On an off note, spotted Jeremy Piven at Kings Road Cafe, but it barely counts as a celeb-siting, it’s so common to see him in LA. He was sporting the Tom Ford look; I love when straight men emulate gay men.
