So the agencies are basically outsourcing the scouting, got it. That is why I was confused — I always thought the scouts were employees of the agencies. Ha, you learn something new every day.

Just watched this. Are we to assume the "very famous", sleazy photographer that blond model gave a handjob to is Terry Richardson?

"Michigan rallied late in the 4th"

I think a lot of people do it to profit off of folks outside the US, where these pieces aren't available but demand is high.

I scoff at those Missoni Target items on eBay. At those prices, I'd rather buy a pair of Nike MAGs. [nikemag.ebay.com]

Oh god yes. Yes, and hell yes. Now how shall I fit it into everyday conversation?

For real. Someone upthread said she thinks Zooey just acts all girlie to get attention from men. Which is absurd since none of us know her, but also, I couldn't even tell you who she is dating since she stays out of the tabloids.

HA! Indeed it is. I forget why I didn't include it. But I wholeheartedly believe that my love of "Friends" is the reason I've never gotten a star.

You'd prefer a man who whose dreamgirl was a Kardarshian then?

I played with Barbie AND my brother's "Star Wars" figures as a kid (not together obviously, that would have been totally awkard for Barbie).

But Summer wasn't actually a bitch, she was perceived that way only because she wasn't in love with Tom. By the end of the film, you realize that she is not a bad person, just human...someone who was in limbo while they were dating. And we've all been there, in a relationship where one person likes the other more.…

I am an unapologetic fan of Zooey and I cannot wait for "The New Girl", it looks adorable and I need some fluff TV in between episodes of "Breaking Bad" and reruns of "The Wire".

After Perry jumped into the race, she dropped way down in the polls. Republicans found a new toy to play with.

Even Obama had the common sense to conduct his speech BEFORE kickoff of the Saints/ Packers game last Thursday.

Still, better acting than Jo Calderone.

You took the words out of my mouth. "Slave 4 U" is certainly iconic and perhaps the last of its kind on the VMAs. Can you believe that was all the way back in 2000? So we've pretty much had complete shit for a decade. Though, the MJ tribute two years ago was pretty spectacular. I am surprised MTV had so much class to…

I'm thinking the "broken records" is in reference to the five #1 songs from her latest album, which tied the record held by Michael Jackson (for "Bad"). She didn't break it, but tied it just last week. Which is sad, actually!

Actually, Katy Perry just went back to her "roots" though I like the 2008 version much better.

That's one Big Ben.

I think he "hit" at a time in the early 2000's when his over-exposed, hipster, 70's porn-style thing was fresh and new, along with American Apparel and Vice magazine. The problem is that in 2011, it's just a tired cliche and he hasn't ever changed his style. He's a one trick pony and clearly, the fashion industry…
