"...unbeatable Target prices". Hmmmm, I'm guessing: made in China, by wage-slaves.

Camille Paglia, still mad that Madonna won't fuck her.

MUCH better angle on Nicole here: [cache1.asset-cache.net] and [cache2.asset-cache.net] Sometimes red carpet photos compress perspective.

@Kali Mama: hee, ditto!

I can believe 20 minutes of housework (sparkling glasses, piles of clean socks and t-shirts and shiny floors make me feel a little happy while I sit scarfing ice cream watching TV). But day after day after day after day of it, on demand, to make OTHER people happy?? Not so much.

I'm pretty sure the Costume Institute Gala is a benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the Institute is located. In other words, they hold a yearly benefit for a multi-million dollar institution, a museum, and call it a charity. :0

@TruculentandUnreliable: LOVE her.

Jeezus, I read it three times before I saw "to death". :(

David Letterman is soooo fucking funny about this tonight. And mad as hell. "Who's running the state now while he's in hiding? What if New Jersey wants to attack us??!" He's got Martha Stewart on; "I suppose Spitzer had something to do with Martha being prosecuted. I'd guess today is a very good day for Martha."

@BeAgrestic: Haha, it's so much fun to notice the lack of cell phones or PDAs in older movies, like Network and Local Hero (on tv here recently - all those oil execs without access to convenient land lines, kinda mindblowing).

@ItchykooParker: Yes! The only issues I faced as a teenager were too much alcohol on the beach at Presqu'ile Park and whether a guy would still like me after he and I gave each other handjobs in the car at midnight (my Catholic self didn't do BJs OR intercourse). Nowadays my friend with a teenager keeps a holy water…

@ItchykooParker: Me too. My little crazy self loved James Taylor to death because he was crazy, too, sigh.

Aahhh, geeez. :(

@HoneyLush: Awww, it's so touching that you think Madonna would do anything spontaneously.

Although ... there are no element chartS, there is just the Periodic table of the elements. Sigh.

Stupid? I dunno ... she knows that a litmus tests is used to determine pH levels - good catch, Elizzybit!!

Haha. Those wacky Scientology kiddlies.

@Tippi from Toronto: Yeah. Um, Lainey is positively PSYCHO about Kidman. Not in a good way.

@Tippi from Toronto: She doesn't look like she's pushing it much from those photos, it's probably just a walking jog to get sweaty. (I don't think exercise causes ectopic pregnancy, BTW.)

@ineffable.me: Hahaha, I think that's probably behind most of it. I feel like the queen of the universe when I get sore and sweaty, probably she does, too. We're COVERED with snow here in Toronto and I started crying my head off Saturday from cabin fever.
