POP!: CC’s Weekly Round Up of all Things Pop Culture

johnny_depp240-1.jpgHottie of the week

Oh, hellooooo, Johnny Depp. I didn’t mean to watch the MTV Movie Awards, but the two times that I accidentally watched, there he was. He banged my eyes stupid.

Kurt Cobain’s ashes were stolen from Courtney Love. Did she stage that so that people would talk about her? Seriously, that’s awful. I miss Kurt and Nirvana.

Fashion

Where are you going Grandma?

Lily Allen, Bambi spewing blood on your dress freaks me out – it is not fashionable.

You need to know that despite what TMZ told you, Jamie Lynn Spears will not raise her child in a barn .

Song of the Week

Still with the “Lollipop“.

Politics

Finally, the dems have a candidate.

Quote of the year

“If I punched every bitch who called me fat, it would be dead bitches all up and down the highway” I’m gonna say it – I love Star Jones.

The WTF of the week

How the hell do two toolboxes like Heidi and Spencer make millions of dollars? That’s it – I’m never writing about these two ever again. $500 might grow on their tool tree just for me typing this about them. P.S. Heidi, just design your sh*tty clothes because you are never gonna get an Oscar. Read More »

Hardest Partiers of Rock? Sort of…

Van Halen

Spinner.com came out with their Top 21 Hardest Partiers of Rock recently. We are HUGE fans of Spinner and usually they are right on point. My mom told me that every good relationship has its ups and downs, and Spinner and I are having a lovers’ spat right now.

Here are Spinner’s Top 5 mistakes:

5. Stevie Nicks is a harder partier than all of Van Halen? Wow…Stevie Nicks couldn’t hold David Lee Roth’s sweaty, vodka-stained jockstrap. Van Halen – even just David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen – drank, smoked, snorted and screwed their way across the country and out of millions in possible tour revenues by being f-d up to perform.

But you know what…OK, maybe Fleetwood Mac knew how to ball, what do I know?! Even my parents thought Fleetwood Mac were gay.

4. I am a more hardcore partier than Britney Spears. In the financial world, people refer to “old money” and “new money.” Brit-Brit is new money, yet she scored higher on Spinner’s list than Iggy Pop, one of the oldest money Legends of Rock.

Iggy has been hammered and high since before Britney was conceived in her mom’s broken down Ford. Mr. Pop has been in and out of rehab more times than Brit has worn a thong. She’s a slave to attention, not partying hard.

Hard Partying Could Be Aging You…Fast

amy winoIt’s no secret that celebrities such as Courtney Love and Keith Richards have lived quite wild lives. It’s written all over their faces…literally.

Living a less than stellar lifestyle health-wise does make you look older. All those late nights and foreign toxins going into the body…sounds kinda like college, huh?

Well, this hard partying/quick aging trend is catching on for the young celebs of our generation — not just the rock and roll greats of years past.

The UK’s Mirror had a recent article up about Real Age vs. Body Age, and rated unhealthy celebs like Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse against uber-healthy Madonna.

The results:

Madonna: Real AGE: 48, Body AGE: 35

Britney: Real AGE: 25, Body AGE: 30

Amy Winehouse: Real AGE: 23, Body AGE: 31

The Bitch Is Back: Courtney Love Returns

new-courtney-love.jpgIf there’s one thing we’ve learned from recent pop culture it is that everyone loves to watch the rise and fall of Celebrities. From Britney’s Sinead O’Rebellion to Parisgate it’s as if the ultimate fate of a pop icon is to be ripped to shreds by it’s once adoring public right there on Robertson Blvd. But here comes the fun part, seeing how they put themselves back together. Because just as much as America loves a downfall it loves an embarrassing comeback even more. Every once an while though, we are in turn surprised by a true artist, although fewer and fewer are apparent in the commercial pop abyss, it’s not a legend, as Linda Perry could tell you they actually do exist.

Courtney Love is a name culturally synonymous with many things, undoubtedly an icon in her own right she has more than made her mark on the music industry, the tabloid circuit and even invaded the Golden Globes. However Love’s success did not happen overnight or in a Hollywood fairytale. She has no distant Coppola relative nor did she descend from a pop dynasty. She was in fact at war with her label, her drug addiction and her public image all at once. The widow of late legend Kurt Cobain, she has faced a constant unavoidable comparison despite her own professional accomplishments and critical accolades. Her band Hole achieved success in the mid nineties creating an army of 12 year old feminists searching for a viable role model, armed with Hello Kitty backpacks and Emily Strange stickers they are all grown up now. But the question is: Are they still listening? Read More »

Courtney Loves to Starve Herself

c1.jpg

Eeesh.

What has happened to you, Courtney?

We all know she isn’t the brightest crayon in the box, or the most put-together chick who ever married a famous grunge musician, but….gee wiz! Something is very, very wrong with this lady.

According to my personal internet gossip diva, Perezhilton.com, Courtney Love has fired back against all those reports that she did something ‘medical’ to transform her body in only 4 months into it’s newly emaciated form. If you go to her fansite, you can read a wonderful incoherent rant where almost nothing is spelled right or even has the correct number of vowels. Apparently, Ms. Love is so pissed at people saying her weight loss isn’t ‘natural’ that she forgot to put on her first grade English hat. Read More »
