Like every fun-loving girl looking to procrastinate doing anything productive, I spend a large majority of my time reading celebrity blogs. I spend the rest of my time getting irrationally angry at the stupid, ridiculous, and moronic things that celebrities say and do (in all fairness to the celebs, I react the same when when my roommates leave their crusty dishes in the sink). So when I came across a recent interview with Angelina once again saying one thing, while doing the complete opposite, I got so angry I just had to blog about it.

In this particular article, she makes a plea to the public to “leave Shiloh alone!” for dressing like a boy…and then proceeds to give out examples of exactly how Shiloh acts like a boy. She’s just a fun-loving girl (WHO WEARS TIES!) and we love her no matter how she dresses (BUT OH BOY, YOU SHOULD SEE HOW SHE DRESSES…LIKE A BOY!).

And this isn’t an isolated incident of Ang accidentally leaking valuable information to media. With the exception of possibly Suri Cruise, Shiloh is the most valuable person on the planet to the paparazzi and it seems if Angie really wanted people to leave her alone, she would stop saying the VERY things she knows will make headlines.

We have to give her props because she has truly perfected the art of celebrity image manipulation. She wants to be seen as a mom/humanitarian who happens to do some light acting on the side — and that’s generally how the media views her. Read More »

If you’re not a huge gossiper/have a subscription to every tabloid/read the gossip blogs religiously/understand the issue that is Suri Cruise’s choice in footwear, it’s hard to understand what all your crazy, celebrity-obsessed friends are talking about. I mean, it’s hard enough to tell the Jonas Brothers apart – how does anyone keep up with Britney Spears’ relationship status (are they on? off? on? is she shaving her head again?!)?

It’s exhausting and you’ve got more important things to do than look at who Perez Hilton is drawing penises on this week. So let me help and be your Cliff’s Notes of gossip. I’ll bring you the 5 biggest Hollywood happenings of the week so you know what’s going on to the most important people on earth. (That was sarcasm, in case you didn’t get it.) Read More »

I am as obsessed with celebrity news as the next person; I am constantly perusing PerezHilton.com, TMZ.com, and all the other gossip pages, to read up on celeb news. I’m the first one to answer all the Pop Culture questions right at Trivia Night, and I thrive on reading the most intimate details of fights, breakups and love triangles of those we adorn from afar.

But even I, as much of a celeb-session that I have, do not think it’s appropriate to showcase your one month old child on the cover of US Weekly, People, In Touch, OK! or others, bartering with various publications for who will pay the most for the first pics of the new bebe.

In an article by Forbes Magazine, the topic of celebrity baby pictures – and the outlandish prices – was addressed. According to reports, JLo and Marc Anthony were paid $6 million from People Magazine for the first shots of the twins. $6 million?! For baby photos?! That’s more than I’ll make in a lifetime – hey, that’s more than everyone I know combined will make in a life time!

While I think it’s ridiculous to pull figures for your children, at least, if you do it, be charitable about it. Take the famous Brangelina couple, who, at the birth of Shiloh in 2006, were paid $4.1 million by People for the pics, all of which they donated entirely to an African charity. Okay so, still not the best idea to pimp out your kid for some dough, but at least, if you’re going to do it (which they all are – can we guess how much Ashlee & Pete will get???), they did it with some class.
