Katie Hiegl is too hilarious!

Like I said in wisteria_'s entry, she is constantly biting the hand that feeds. She talked shit about Roswell and admitted to being difficult (i.e. always showing up late to the set) when they wouldn't let her out of her contract. In her post-Emmy interviews, she told the press that she disliked Knocked Up because she thought the movie was sexist. And then she broke rank during the Isaiah Washington flap and brought the drama drama drama. And now she withdraws herself from Emmy consideration and OPENLY, PUBLICLY BLAMES THE WRITERS.

I find her completely hilarious! On the one hand, in my humble opinion, she's not exactly wrong about any of this. But she's kind of a dick? And does she not care at all about her future in the industry? She can't keep doing stuff like this and still think that people will want to work with her! *boggles*

LULZ, SHOCKING!

Really, I am kind of pissed. Now I can't use the AS FRIENDS! running bit anymore on GGN. And I do find it vaguely suspicious that People -- the official magazine of celebrity gossip -- got ahold of those pictures just in time to bury the story about Penn being jealous of Chace Crawford.

It totally cracks me up that Chase Crawford, who plays cheating-cheater Nate Archibald on Gossip Girl, just got busted by Veronica Mars Perez Hilton for "cheating" on Carrie Underwood. With Katrina Bowden from 30 Rock! He probably met her on set; Gossip Girl and 30 Rock film at the same NYC studio.

Anyway, it's a funny case of real life imitating fiction. Blair feels your pain, Carrie!

So now that Disney is totes going to fire Vanessa Hudgens (NWS!), I think that High School Musical 3 should be changed to College Musical! They should set it at the University of Albuquerque, where Troy got his full ride thanks to the patronage of the Evans family. And of course Sharpay will be attending the family alma mater; she should finally land her man and then immediately realize that she doesn't want him! Ryan and Chad can be there too, still pretending not to be totally in gay love. And since it's set in college, they can bump up the rating to PG, which means REAL KISSING! Scandalous!

Sadly, I'm not joking about Disney firing Vanessa. They might surprise me, but I kind of doubt it. And it will be SO EASY, because her absence in HSM3 can be all-too-easily accounted for, what with Gabriella being a suitcase kid who moves from place to place. Zanessa might complicate things, though; they don't want to piss off the Efron.

Anyway, the sad moral of this story is that boys suck and to neverevereverever trust one with any sort of camera when you are not absolutely fully clothed.

Hopefully Kierra won't find out about this. It's not like Vanessa is a role model for her, but the Message (even if it is unintended and incidental) is nothing I want her exposed to.

You guys, Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer broke up!

WOE.

Now I will not be able to enjoy Chase/Cameron because they'll have this whole Chad Michael Murray/Sophia Bush thing going on. SIGH. This is why celebrities should not date each other. Won't someone think of the fans?!

REJOICE AND BE GLAD BECAUSE TODAY IS KIM POSSIBLE DAY.

ETA: So I watched JT's new video for "What Goes Around... Comes Around." (Nice marketing strategy -- spend a couple mill on a video and try to recoup some of the cost by creating so much buzz that people will pay for it on iTunes just to see it two days early.) And I am a little worried for Britney, because apparently what Justin means when he says what goes around comes around is that YOU WILL DIE IN A FIERY CAR WRECK for cheating on him.

You guys, Lindsay Lohan's anti-press manifesto is seriously the most hilarious thing I have seen all week. Go read it and weep, oh my god.

What is up with John Mayer dating Jessica Simpson?!

For some mysterious reason, Renita really, really wants the Making The Band Band Danity Kane album. For an even more mysterious reason, every store that sells records in Athens is LITERALLY sold out of the Danity Kane album. I am talking Best Buy, both Walmarts and Target. Also, the Target in Norcross is sold out. WHY?!?! I am convinced that Puffy P. Diddy Sean Combs came to town and bought them all. I guess the third time really is the charm. Dammit.

Also, I heard that Jay-Z cheated on Beyonce with Rihanna. !!! Who the hell cheats on Beyonce Knowles?! I was, however, concerned when I saw her new video. I am not liking the implications. Cheating bastard or not, Jay-Z is far too talented to get stabbed to death with an ice pick.

ETA @ 4:02am: am sick want mommy

The new Yahoo is ugly. As is the new Found Magazine site.

And Mel Gibson got arrested for a DUI. I don't care about that, but guess where he was arrested? The Pacific Coast Highway! Hee! :D

( Georgia finally rules on gay marriage, and it's bad. )

And the Emmy noms are a big yawn this year. Once again Lauren Graham doesn't make the cut, but then this season was so bad that I guess she shouldn't have.

And Milo V/Alexis Bledel broke up! He says Jess is never coming back to Gilmore Girls. Oh, shoot!

Who is this man? Is he...

Some magazine thought it would be funny to prove he cleans up nice. But somehow, this is worse. I hate it when he doesn't look like himself. Renita and I argued for weeks whether or not it was him in the Fantasy fragrance commercials. More pictures.

Also, Fall Out Boy just scared Kidz Bop out of publishing a kid-friendly cover of "Dance Dance." OMG, they're so hardcore! If by hardcore you mean totally lame.

And I've decided that the reason people have "grillz" is because they have way, way too much money. It makes you weird in the head to have that much money and not enough to do with it. And then all of the sudden diamond dentures sound like a really fantastic idea.

Nick Lachey is the biggest douche bag ever. Have you seen his video? And his album's song list? Oh my god, I can hardly believe how much he sucks.

P.S. Jamie Kennedy is wearing the same argyle sweater in the commercial for his ridiculous new show that Logan wears in Ain't No Magic Mountain High Enough. This one. I know you are all laughing at me right now for knowing that, but in my defense it was a really ugly sweater. I wonder who makes that.

Where do you stand?

Maybe it's because I watched Newlyweds, but I've never been so curious about a celebrity breakup before. I really want to know if Jessica was cheating on Nick with Adam Levine like the word on the street says. Also, I heard his new single on the way to class this morning: "I'm not half the man I used to be / But you can't have what's left of me." The lament of a jilted, heart-broken man or a cynical ploy to cash in on their marriage one last time? Hmm. (Yeah. That's a rhetorical question.)

If you watch One Tree Hill, look at this.

( Veronica Mars ickiness... )

ETA: Couch Baron sums up the problem with Season 2 perfectly here.

( The West Wing )

WHY is there no Lou fic in this fandom? Lou is the best thing to happen to TWW in two years.

( The Young and the Restless )

I really don't know why I like adultery plot-lines so much. (Deb/Keith!) Adultery is bad! But it totally makes TV better. Okay, it makes bad TV better. *skips*

Am I the only person in the world who had no idea that Nick and Jessica split up?

My belief in a perfect love is now shattered!

ETA: My mom is about to KILL me if I don't tell her what I want for Christmas. I figure I will just ask for one big thing this year (as opposed to several little/medium things).

I really want these wireless headphones, but they are too expensive right now because they're brand new.

So I think I'm going to ask for an iPod stero. I have my eye on the the Klipsch iGroove, but it's out of my price range at $279. I was really hoping for something less than $200 dollars. It seems like it goes for about $225 on eBay, so that's probably okay.

"The difference between a mutual fund and a guitar player is this: Give a mutual fund 20 years and it will mature and make some fucking money."

LOL! That is completely true.

The Democrats are adorable, no?

Also, fernwithy linked to this article about how series for girls like Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Gossip Girls are 100% manufactured marketing ideas handed off to authors. By some marketing company of middle-aged men who make it their business to know the minds of tween and teen girls. How creepy is that! It's essentially mass-production. I find this devastating, especially since I actually like SotTP, and have recommended it to lots of people for their neices/sisters/granddaughter's birthdays.

I feel so left out since practically everyone on my f'list is doing NaNoWriMo. I was planning to give one of the plethora of ##-Books-A-Year type lj-groups a try in 2006 since my reading habits are nonexistent now. I am thinking maybe I should pick one and get a head start on it. My To Read shelf (it got too big to be a pile!) is spilling over into other shelves. *gulp*

Also, around this time last year I was hearing buzz about THE 2004 holiday must-read: Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel. Does anyone know what the next one is going to be? I very much enjoyed JS and I also enjoyed The DaVinci Code in 2003.

OH YEAH. Uh, Happy NaNoWriMo, everyone! May your fingers be fleet and may you not suffer from writer's block. :D

ETA: ( House )

gracefulfallen is getting me a Kinky Friedman bumpersticker!!! I know, how awesome is that? I can't wait to stick it on my car. It is sad and un-stickered at the moment, except for the Kerry/Edwards sticker that is NEVER coming off EVER, hell or highwater. Also my Sierra Club decal, but still. Stickers are love.

I am so grossed out by this whole TomKat thing. Now he's apparently proposed to her. At the Eiffel Tower in France. Holy shit, how "Joey Potter" is that? That's almost from the show, verbatim. GEEZ.

Seriously, they are awful. And do you realize she broke up with her boyfriend (and fiance!) of 5+ years not even four months ago? CRAZY.

I almost don't want to see Batman this weekend just because I know I will be thinking about Tom & Katie when I see her.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise?!?!

KATIE HOLMES AND TOM CRUISE?!?!?!

I choked on my breakfast cereal when I read it in the paper. That is super gross.

I thought my favorite American Idol joke was going to be that "Carrie Underwood is like a white Kelly Clarkson" but actually, last night's fabulous Television Without Pity recap was even funnier:

Carrie now looks like somebody killed her dog and then dumped her and then burned her copy of Dirty Dancing, all on her birthday.

*dies*

Nick Carter and Paris Hilton.

I'd just like to point out that the two boys (Nick Carter and Justin Timberlake) who've spent most of their lives as an object of grevious disdain to most males have, between them, dated and (presumably) done the two biggest Sex Kittens of our time: Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

How is that for poetic justice?
