HBO’s Golden Compass making-of is giving me a bear-fight boner despite my already having seen the finished product.
Also a Dakota Blue Richards boner. OMIGOD THAT’S SO WRONG.
Bestiality is a sin.

So say me all
Thank gods Starbuck’s being all [James Cameron movie] again. Did not enjoy emo Starbuck.
Just passed up K-town barbecue with a Top Chef because of a standing fancy-dinner commitment in Bev-niner. I hope my tears taste good.
Jeremy Piven Begs Date's Forgiveness →
Mercury is rising everywhere for Jeremy Piven these days, including his love life. The Entourage actor has found a brand-new girlfriend in blond stunner Ashley Chontos, a 23-year-old model-cum-bottle waitress at Mansion NYC who he met at Britney Spears’ birthday bash.
Unfortunate hyphenation-cum-word choice.

Suzanne Somers' Daily Routine →

For years Somers has loudly spoken and written about bioidentical hormones and how she has benefited from taking them. Somers invited cameras into her home to show her daily routine, seen below. First she rubs hormone lotion on the inside of her upper arm, always...
iDVD hung out to dry as Apple pushes movies online →
On the program’s inception:
In an interview printed by Pioneer Press, Evangelist and a group of Astarte developers described pitching the simplified app concept to Steve Jobs. “Jobs never glanced at their presentation,” the article noted. “Instead, he walked up to a whiteboard and drew a square. This is the program, he said. Users will drag their movies here to create DVD...

Whereby “freaked” she means “snorted a bunch of Adderall and watched Poison Ivy and The Crush repeatedly” in her bedroom.
Apple - Trailers - The Proposal →
When high-powered book editor Margaret (SANDRA BULLOCK) faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she’s actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew (RYAN REYNOLDS), who she’s tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky...
Grinning like an idiom
When someone unexpectedly responds to something I’ve said with well-chosen song lyrics it’s always a happy surprise.
Just learned that the clinical term for “Snoopy boobs” is “tuberous.” You’re welcome.
They sank my Battlestar
I’m a bit late to these waters but I think it’s time to acknowledge that Battlestar Galactica is swimming with sharks. Tonight’s episode was basically dinner-theater Star Trek: The Next Generation with the cast of Degrassi: The Next Generation. Square, synthetic … are we there yet?

“Jobs’ power has always been not to invent the iPod, but to realize that an iPod needs to be invented. When someone comes to him and says, ‘Here’s an idea for a product,’ he’s the guy who says, ‘You are now the most important thing going on in this company. Waste anything except for time, let’s get this on the market.’ But at the same point, he is the guy who takes a look at the...
“We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really...”

Steve, you’re gonna make me cry and I’ve never even been on the receiving end of one of your fabled dressing-downs.

Tom Colicchio Is a Hero →
Top Chef’s Tom Colicchio performed the Heimlich Maneuver on cookbook author Joan Nathan at a benefit for D.C. Central Kitchen and Martha’s Table. Joan Nathan said, “He’s so strong!”
Expect the term “Safety Bear” to figure prominently during Bravo’s next Top Chef reunion.
Anne Hathaway's 'Slumdog' Love →
Anne Hathaway is a fan of Slumdog Millionaire—and the young star of the film, Dev Patel. A starstruck Hathaway expressed her love for the actor’s performance in Slumdog on the red carpet at the National Board of Review Awards gala in Manhattan.

Gossip Girl Spins Off Serena's Mom →
Putting the not-happening rumors to rest, the CW has ordered up a pilot for a Los Angeles-set Gossip Girl spinoff.
You lost me at Los Angeles. Gossip Girl’s periodic Less Than Zero overreaching is its most thirty-second-skippable aspect for me. And the whole “Manhattan serial skewers LaLa Land” corpse has been fucked to pieces (cf. Sex and the City, Mad Men et al).
The new...
For a fleeting moment it appears Tumblr wants to hate on Tyler Perry more than it wants to stick its Jonas Secrets between Anne Hathaway’s whomp-bompers.

Moreover, the “bacon strip” is the world’s oldest profession’s oldest bikini wax.
Gwyneth Paltrow's Only Friends Are Mirrors →
I have this incredible, blessed, sometimes difficult, very lucky, very unique life, and I’ve gotten to travel all over the place and to work and live in different cities. … I go on tour with my husband and go to cities I would never necessarily go to. So I started accruing all of this information. I am the person my friends call when they want to know: “I am redoing this bathroom, and...
Season to taste
Somebody please combine Cute Things Falling Asleep with Disgusting People I Have Made Out With. Read the Disgusting entries out loud and lay the audio over the Cute videos. Actually, I could handle the technical side. I just don’t do voices. I’m not a performer. I’m a voyeur.
Actually we're not d-bags
J: Hey, I'm actually in the middle of a casting session right now but I'm having this weird problem with my computer.
R: What's the problem?
J: Hold on, I'm getting another call. Actually this is Warner Brothers. Let me call you back.
R: Actually—I'm actually heading to William Morris right now.
J: Okay—oh—we'll talk later.
R: Okay.
