It’s Friday. I’m tired, you’re tired and it was Halloween this week which means we all have hangovers to get over! Sigh. After work/exams/class of course.

So here is a little gossip to keep your blues at bay until the weekend finally comes!

• Ashley Olsen was spotted sucking face with Lance Armstrong at an NYC Hotel Bar on Monday. Apparently, they left together around 2 am. This Sunday, Lance will be partying down with his foundation at the restaurant where I work and if Ashley Olsen shows up, I might just pee my pants. (NY Post)

• Roberto Cavalli confirmed to the press that J.Lo is prego and he has been designing clothes for her as she grows. All this took place at the launch of his new Vodka. Yes, Vodka. Now we all knew J.Lo was preggers but what I want to know is why Roberto Cavalli is selling vodka. Last time I checked, fashion designers and disterllies had little in common. (People)

• The Catholics are fired up at Britney for pictures appearing in her new CD. In one, Britney is confessing, in the next she’s sitting on the priests lap. It’s about the only press she is getting from her new album since Jive has totally given up on her doing any promo for Blackout. And the courts agree she is still a bad mom. Oh, Britney.

• When you live in New York City things like this are a disappointing reality. Thank God there’s a hilarious video parodying it! (YouTube)

• Listen up incoming Freshmen: Think your parents are like, so totally annoying? At least your mother doesn’t write about all of your short-comings. In the New York Times. (Gawker)

• Leona Helmsley’s bitch is a total bitch. But damn if she isn’t rich as hell! (NY Daily News)

• We all know to carry Mace and not trust men in public places. So, what’s this I read about 1 in 3 of us totally dropping trou at a moments notice? Didn’t we all read this article? (Houston Chronicle)

• Courtney Love might get sued because she cares about her suicidal friend. Ugh. Let’s just all agree to never do drugs again, okay? (MTV UK)

• Senator Larry Craig got arrested and the police report is taken word for word to make a mock Dragnet spoof. Bravo MSNBC! (MSNBC)

Yesterday, Owen Wilson attempted suicide and is in critical condition.

As The National Enquirer reports, he apparently slit his wrists and took pain pills, and his brothers Andrew and Luke are with him at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, CA.

There’s really nothing funny or entertaining to say about this; it’s especially sad because this is the kind of guy you’d never think would do something like this. He’s so funny and always seems so cool and calm….but I guess just like anyone else, ya just never know all the shit that’s hidden underneath the funny.

And here I was thinking for years and years that she had it together.

Sure, she married a weird looking guy, but that just meant she was the kind of girl who looked deeper and refused to be superficial. Even after she got divorced and starting dating perennial bachelor Owen Wilson, she refused to do the Britney and get trashed every night of the week, opting instead to continue living quietly and taking care of her son.

Plus, she’s adorable.

Which is why I was so pained to read this quote from September’s issue of Harper’s Bizaar:

“As primal beings, men are not supposed to be monogamous. When people ask, ‘Do you believe in monogamy?’ Well, of course that’s what you want. But part of what I love about men is that it’s hard for them to be monogamous. Women, I think, need to spend more time understanding men than changing men. And vice versa.”

What kind of idiot woman says something like that? How backwards do you have to be to allow men the convenience of being biologically deterred from monogamy? And why would you love it? Read More »
