So, apparently Bristol Palin is rolling in the dough from participating in the Candie’s Foundation’s abstinence campaign . If your saying “whaat?!” right now then we are in total agreement. How can Little Miss Get Pregnant at 18 While Your mom is Running for VP be making so much money (click here to see just how much!) promoting something she knows nothing about. And also, sidenote, why are people considering BP a celebrity?
Anyways, it got us thinking…if Bristol Palin can make this much money for promoting abstinence, then who else should be making mad dough for being a complete hypocrite…
If I was taught anything in my high school etiquette class (true story) besides which fork to use for which course, I was taught that there are two subjects you should never bring up: religion and politics. And since I’m still a little fuzzy on the whole spoon thing I figure why not break another one of those rules.
Let’s talk about politics, ladies.
Or maybe something slightly more relevant to us: politicians and their children.
The daughters of today’s politicians always seem to have their own agendas; messages they want to spread, campaigns they want to share, insider accounts of the campaign trail. It’s like because we’ve elected their parents (or rather because their parents want us to elect them) it automatically gives them the right to speak out on a whole bunch of issues they may or may not know anything about.
And I’m not sure exactly where I stand on this whole thing. Because while I know I could really do without ever hearing about Megan McCain’s “blogette” or reading Dirty, Sexy, Politics, some politicians’ daughter might actually be worth listening to.
So pigs are officially flying, Hell has frozen over, and Hermes Birkin bags are buy one/get one free. Didn’t you hear? The Kardashians penned a bestseller, y’all! Pick those jaws up off the floor, it totally happened…and if the sales reports are accurate, there’s a good chance you yourself purchased a copy of Kardashian Konfidential. And may I add, lovingly of course, what the eff were you thinking, girl!?
While I’m still trying to wrap my head around what this Great American Novel could possibly be about (Amazon is telling me something about sisterhood, feuding…wait, so it’s like a written account of their shows?), I think it’s important other celebrities not get the same idea. Just because you have a television show or frequently appear in the pages of Us Weekly, don’t go thinkin’ you have thoughts that need sharin’. I’ll tell you right now, I don’t care.
Don’t get me wrong, I love celebrity-written books. Chelsea Handler? Giuliana Rancic? Jenny McCarthy? Yes, please! They’re funny, smart women with something interesting to say. It’s when morons put pen to paper I get a little miffed. Like if some of these people decided to become the next expert on dating, living, or telling all… Read More »
What were they smoking when they came up with this crackpot commercial for abstinence? No seriously. Does anyone really think that The Situation is a good spokesperson for anything, let alone anything involving smart sex decisions? We won’t even get into the fact that Bristol “I don’t have sex…except for that one time when I got pregnant” Palin has become a spokeswoman for abstinence.
But I will give credit where credit is due, and it’s clear from this commercial that they’re both excellent actors. (In this context excellent means horrible, unconvincing, poorly trained, stick to regional theater).
P.S Candies: you really couldn’t find ANYONE else to do this? Maybe try Craigslist next time? Or Google “celebrities who don’t have kids.” Just a suggestion.
As Hollywood stirs the pot of gossip-shaped noodles, I’m eating spoonful after spoonful. Hollywood always gives us the generous opportunity to lift all of our own emotional flounders and replace them with the train-wrecks and idiots overpopulating the City of Angels. This week, however, was rather chill for (most) celebs. Reese Witherspoon went shopping wearing floral and drank iced tea with her daughter, Sienna and Jude vacationed in Spain, Vanessa Hudgens was spotted shopping in a floppy hat and Blake Lively applied lip gloss in public (!).
Awww, the bittersweet summer in Hollyweird slowly coming to a blissful end.
Don’t worry though. A lull in August isn’t completely a bust. Here is what’s goin down in celeb town (sorry, it was too tempting).
I’ll Take a Big Mac
Prop 8 Is Overturned in California and Celebs Tweet Their Phrase! Celebrity Twitter accounts exploded when Prop 8 was overturned in California. A few of my personal favorites of course involved Lady Gaga talking about bubbles and dreams. @LadyGaga: At the moments notice of PROP 8 DEATH I instantly began to write music. BUBBLE DREAMS FOREVER! FULL EQUALITY! THIS IS JUST THE BEGININNG!
Leo Granted Restraining Order. Against crazy-town Aretha Wilson who attacked the Titanic heartthrob with a beer bottle in 2005. Attacked with a beer bottle? Was it one of those new plastic Michelob Lights? Did it bounce right off his flawless face? I kid Leo, I kid. The bottle was broken and he needed stitches for the incident! And Wilson’s bail has been raised from $60,000 to $150,000 because of concern about her willingness to get back to court. I’m just wondering what he could have done to that 40-year-old women to receive wrath like that? I mean come on, he gave us Jack Dawson. Where’s the abuse-motive in that, Miss Wilson?? Read More »
Wasilla, Alaska won’t be seeing any casting call flyers hanging around Main St. any time soon. The faux-engagement of town darlings (or terrors), Bristol and Levi, failed to get them a reality show, so the two have called it off…for now. While they may not be worthy stars in their own right (contrary to what Levi might think), I think if Bristi (Levstol? Brevi? What was their nickname, anyway?) were open to appearing on an already existing show, they might have a shot at stardom.
Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston, who shared news of their engagement yesterday, filmed a video for Us Weekly speaking about the exciting tidings. In the clip, Bristol remembers the day Levi, 20, proposed to her:
“I came home from work one day and there were tons of flowers all over my room. There were rose petals in the shape of a heart on my bed, with a box. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him,” Palin, 19, says.
Plenty romantic, yes … but it also just felt right, she adds. “There was no hesitation at all.” Watch the interview right here![Editor's Note: Warning: it's awkward city.]
