I was at Walmart the other day, and after I made my way through the chaos, I found an adorable red velvet winter holiday dress for my sister’s new baby – who will be approximately 6 weeks and 3 days old on Christmas morning. I have it hanging in my living room and I can barely take my eyes off of it. It’s just so cute! I was hoping for something a little more Christmas-y, but it sorta looks like a Santa suit so I guess that’s good enough. I also visited the Walmart toys for boys section and picked up a couple LeapFrog items for my 3-year-old nephew. I really wanted to...

In an interview airing Wednesday night on ABC, Janet Jackson tells Robin Roberts that the Jackson family did in fact stage drug interventions for her older brother Michael, but that they ultimately “weren’t very successful.” Michael Jackson never accepted the help but knew the family’s attempts to intervene were “out of love, out of caring,” according to Janet. She denies the Jackson family was naïve about MJ’s drug problems or that they enabled him. She did admit, however, that “People can be in denial.” When Roberts asked a follow-up question about Michael... 

Today happens to be Homemade Bread Day so I thought it would be fun to share a homemade bread recipe or two. Given the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays, the timing couldn’t be better. I found the following homemade bread recipes on TipNut.com – a great place to find craft projects, household tips including ones for the kitchen and cooking, as well as easy to follow recipes. American Sandwich Bread from Annie of Annie’s Eats Ingredients 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp. salt 1 cup warm whole milk (about 110°) 1/3 cup warm water (about 110°) 2 tbsp. unsalted... 

All I have to say on this one is wow. Just, wow. L.A. restaurateur Josh Woodward stands accused of causing the miscarriage of a woman said to have been pregnant with his child. According to the search warrant affidavit obtained by TMZ, police believe Josh Woodward used a drug called Misoprostol to cause the miscarriage. In the docs, Woodward’s baby mama says one night back in October — when she was pregnant — Woodward kept putting his hand in a plastic bag and then touching her sexually. The woman says she lost the baby a few hours later … and remembers... 

I really, truly, did not want to talk about Carrie Prejean tonight, but given the haps of today, I feel I must. First it came out that there might actually be a total of 8 solo sex tapes starring Miss Prejean – as in 7 more than originally thought – and she’s said to be of legal age in each one of them; which of course goes against her “I was young and dumb” excuse. Then I came across this quote: “…I don’t think there’s anything wrong with getting breast implants as a Christian. I think it’s a personal decision. I don’t see anywhere in the Bible where it... 

I totally missed this one; guess I was too caught up in the Carrie Prejean sex tape brouhaha, but apparently Miss Prejean was not the only beauty queen stripped of her crown this year. Miss England 2009, Rachel Christie, relinquished her crown earlier this month after she was arrested for assault. According to reports, 21-year-old Rachel Christie – who happens to be the first ever black Miss England – got into a fistfight with Miss Manchester, Beverly Jones. The fight happened during a porn-themed costume party at the Mansion Club in Manchester, and was allegedly over Rachel’s... 

I don’t want to insult your intelligence, so I’m just going to assume you already know about the Carrie Prejean sextape of self-love, and that it’s the real reason good Christian Prejean withdrew her lawsuit against the Miss California USA Organization. Continuing her “I’m A Victim Tour,” Carrie Prejean admitted to MSNBC’s Sean Hannity that the one-person sex tape does in fact exist; but that she was young and dumb (was??), and that the little video she made for her then boyfriend was “the worst mistake of [her] life.” Then the disgraced beauty queen sauntered... 

Did you know there are 599 additives in nicotine cigarettes? Nasty. Even nastier is that all the additives are approved by the US Government. While these ingredients are approved as additives for foods, they were not tested by burning them, and it is the burning of many of these substances which changes their properties, often for the worse. Over 4000 chemical compounds are created by burning a nicotine cigarette, many of which are toxic and/or carcinogenic…Forty-three known carcinogens are in mainstream smoke, sidestream smoke, or both. Acetanisole Acetic Acid Acetoin Acetophenone 6-Acetoxydihydrotheaspirane 2-Acetyl-3-... 

Believe it or not, the two photos below are of the same person. No, really. Last week former baseball star (and steroid taking bat corker) Sammy Sosa showed up at the Latin Grammys with his wife Sonia looking…..well…..interesting. And very white. So weird. And a little creepy. Of course everyone is crying skin bleaching; except for Rebecca Polihronis, a close friend of Sosa’s, who says it’s just a beauty thing and doesn’t understand what all the hoopla is about. “He’s not trying to be Michael Jackson. He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin. Women... 

Yet another celebrity has been arrested. Except this time it’s not for drugs or a DUI, it’s for burglary. Funny man Katt Williams, real name Micha Williams, was arrested Sunday night in Newnan, Georgia and booked into Coweta County Jail on suspicion of burglary and criminal trespassing. Today Williams posted the $41,150 bail and says his arrest was just “a misunderstanding between me and two stupid detectives.” Williams (Friday After Next, Norbit) has been in Georgia for the last three weeks, staying at producer Barry Hankerson’s estate. Hankerson is currently producing... 

I’ve had an extremely long two weeks, and I am very tired – actually, more like exhausted. And I have a very long day ahead of me in San Francisco tomorrow, so I’m trying my best to get to bed before the wee hours of the morning. So I present to you, for your reading pleasure, some of my Twitter buddies….. Earsucker – Steven Tyler cannot be replaced as Aerosmith’s frontman Note to Brad Whitford, Joe Perry, and you other twats involved in this nonsense: If you try to replace Steven Tyler as the singer in Aerosmith, you will lose A LOT of fans. Ten Gossip –... 

Menthol cigarettes, flavored cigarettes and electronic cigarettes are very popular right now, and I honestly don’t think it’s a fad. A friend of mine uses electronic menthol flavored cigarettes and went from smoking about a pack a day to a pack every three or four days. He hasn’t quit completely, but man! That’s a big cut-down. His favorite part about electronic cigarettes is smoking at his desk; no more standing in the elements sucking on a cancer stick. Plus he doesn’t smell like an ashtray anymore. MSNBC says: Marketed as a healthier alternative to smoking and... 

I have a friend who has a daily holiday calendar on his desk at work; each morning I get an email with that day’s holiday in the subject line. This morning’s subject line was: Happy Use Your Common Sense Day! Yes,use your common sense day is a legitimate holiday. We exchanged a few emails back and forth about the lack of common sense in today’s world, and then this afternoon he sent me this: I stopped at Micky-deez since I was at Wal-Mart, I got my co-worker lunch ‘cus he was stuck back at the office auditing files… 42 year old female McDonald’s employee: “Hello” Me:... 

Well, poo. I was really hoping this would turn into something. It just sounded so juicy. Can’t you picture it? “Your honor, I would like to enter into evidence Exhibit 1 and 2, otherwise known and Carrie Prejean’s boobs.” Ok, so it probably wouldn’t have gone down quite like that, but you get the idea. But alas, such court room drama will never be – both Carrie Prejean and the Miss California USA Pageant organization have withdrawn their respective lawsuits. “Carrie Prejean, Keith Lewis, and K2 productions have dropped their claim against each other and wish each... 

Did you have a good Halloween? My night didn’t exactly turn out the way I thought it was going to, but it was fun nonetheless. I love Halloween. LOVE it, but I always seem to have this image in my head of a great big grand exciting night, and it just never goes down the way I think it will. I’ve had a few extra-fun Halloween nights thrown in here and there over the years – my most recent being back in 2006. I was a Spider Pimp, and I rocked it. This year I was dead. Just, dead. It’s a pretty fitting costume, actually, considering my current state of life. It was also... 

Today may be Halloween, but the ghosts and goblins roaming the streets are not what is scary these days. I am simply horrified by the number of celebrities in need of a good tax attorney in Los Angeles because they owe so many back taxes. I sort of talked about this a little while ago, back when Randy Quaid and his wife Evi Quaid were first arrested for skipping out on a hotel bill, and it was found that they also owed a bunch of taxes. Celebrities obviously feel they are above the law and can basically do whatever they please. Some of the excuses they use to explain away their... 

For what seems like forever, HostGator has been teasing us with the promise of HostGator VPS Hosting. Well guess what…..it’s finally here! VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. A virtual private server is explained as “a method of partitioning a physical server computer into multiple servers such that each has the appearance and capabilities of running on its own dedicated machine.” Each VPS runs its own complete operating system, and each one can be rebooted independently. Basically, virtual private servers close the gap between dedicated hosting services and shared... 

Earlier this week I had no idea what I was going to do for Halloween night this Saturday (other than turn my clocks back an hour before I go to bed – don’t forget!). Now I have plenty of options, but still I have no clue as to what I’m going to wear. I always seem to wait until the very last second to get my Halloween get up together. It annoys me to no end every year, yet I still seem to do it to myself every year. Some day when I’ve got a big ol’ house and lots of money I’m going to throw a big ol’ Halloween party. I’ll definitely have to plan ahead for that! I... 

I am 31. I am proud to be 31. People often think I’m much younger. That makes me proud too. It means I’m doing something right – I don’t look all tore back and old before I actually am all tore back and old. The same cannot be said for Lindsay Lohan, however. Lindsay Lohan is 23 years old but looks like she’s nearing 40. She’s starting to look like one of those smoker-voiced boozin’ biker @@@@@es who have spent way too much time in the sun and not nearly enough time off drugs. You think I’m exaggerating? See for yourself. Here we have Lindsay between the ages...
