My goodness it’s been a crazy week for me. As I mentioned on Tuesday, the water heater at my office blew up. The blast was so strong, a part of the water heater flew through a wall. Now the office is being ripped up, from the carpeting to the baseboards, and beyond. Quite a mess, I must say. While the repairs are being done, we’re hunkering down at our other office. A MUCH smaller office, where we have to share desks and there is only one toilet....  Read More »

By now, I’m sure you’ve heard that Lindsay Lohan was photographed passed out in the front seat of her friend’s car (just two days after her DUI arrest, mind you), and that Britney Spears wrote a letter to her fans claiming that she hit rock bottom in rehab. The same rehab facility that Lindsay is rumored to have entered today, by the way. Honestly, I don’t even know what to say anymore. I’m disgusted by the fact that these girls’ parents aren’t...  Read More »

Ever have one of those days when the universe throws you a curve ball and you’re not quite sure how to handle it? Today is one of those days. It started off okay – I woke early and straightened my hair (something I haven’t done in a while), took a nice shower, and put on a brand new outfit. I left my house at the normal time and had an average drive to work. And that’s pretty much where the humdrum ends. I arrived at the office and used my key card...  Read More »

It’s the day to honor the thousands of men and women who have lost their lives in the name of American Freedom. If you know me at all, you know that I do not support the current war in Iraq, but I DO SUPPORT THE TROOPS. The soldiers of our armed forces have some of the hardest jobs there are. I cannot imagine having to leave me family for extended periods of time, never knowing if I would make it home in one piece, if at all. My father was in the Marines,...  Read More »

YES!! It was just a matter of time, really. In the wee hours of Saturday morning, Lindsay Lohan managed to jump a curb and crash her Mercedes into some trees. She had two other “adults” in the car with her, who were not hurt, but Lindsay was taken to Cedars Sinai, where she was treated for minor injuries. And arrested for DUI. Of course, the best part of all this (since getting a DUI in Hollywood is practically a right of passage)….cocaine was found in...  Read More »

Did I really just say that? Lindsay Lohan is normal? Let’s review: *she can’t handle her liquor *she follows boys around to see what they’re up to *she’s an idiot Yup, that sounds like a normal 20-year-old girl to me. It certainly describes me at 20. And I bet it describes you. And if it doesn’t, you’re lying. The Gossip Girls (who are awesome, by the way) have more to say on Lindsay’s latest immature stunt. Calum Best...  Read More »

Okay, so this story doesn’t quite fall into the crazy animal story category. It’s more of an endearing tale of two birds in love — two gay flamingos in Slimbridge, England, to be exact. After six years as a couple, the duo has been given the opportunity to be parents to an abandoned baby flamingo. Fernando and Carlos have wanted a baby for so long; they’ve even tried chasing fellow flamingos at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) from their nests...  Read More »

About a month ago, I did a post on Coke vs. Water. Now it’s time for Butter vs. Margarine. Here’s a scary thought… Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring...  Read More »

I’m going to do something a bit different for this Hollywood Gossip Round Up. I’ve recently linked to a bunch of other great sites, so I thought I’d take this chance to introduce them to you. So click on the blue words and give them some love, but don’t you dare forget about me! I’m still quite thrilled that Paris Hilton is going to jail, even if it’s not for the whole 45 days and she’ll be in the “special needs unit.” Britney...  Read More »

This prestigious title is courtesy of the Connecticut-based AutoVantage, an automobile membership club offering roadside assistance and travel services. “You don’t want to know what I’ve seen,” says Erik Pinto of South Miami, “I’ve seen everything. I’m...  Read More »

According to Paris Hilton’s “people,” she is so devastated by her upcoming jail sentence, she simply can’t testify in the civil trial against her. She’s just too distraught. Well boo-friggin’-hoo Paris! Is that the world’s smallest violin I hear? I’m sorry that you’ve been convicted of a crime you committed. I am sorry that you have so much money you can have “people” talk about how traumatized...  Read More »

I am not a mother myself, but my mom is. So are my sister, and a bunch of my friends. Mother’s Day was never a huge holiday in my house growing up. Usually my mother just wanted me and my sister to leave her alone for the day. Now I just call her, which is fine by her. This year is my sister’s first Mother’s Day, so I sent her a great gift from PajamaGram.com. She called me on Friday when she got it and sounded really thrilled. The pajamas, she said,...  Read More »

Ok, so I seriously don’t know what’s going on anymore. Is it just me, or are farm animals getting freaky? I found it amusing in the beginning, but now it’s just weirding me out. First there was the calf born with two faces, who sadly died. Then there was the baby chick with four legs. Now there is a cow with six legs, and another one with two noses. Don’t believe me? Picture proof… But the craziness doesn’t stop at the...  Read More »

The next time you’re at a party, and the conversation stalls, getting it going again with one of these questions. Or ponder them when you’re stuck in traffic. Or on the can. *How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? *Why do you have to “put your two cents in”… but it’s only a “penny for your thoughts”? Where’s that extra penny going to? *Once you’re...  Read More »

Once upon a time, a guilty man got away with murder. Then he said he would spend his days searching for the real killer. First his search took him to the golf courses. Now his search has led him to the Kentucky Derby, where last Friday, OJ Simpson was asked to leave an upscale steakhouse in Louisville, Kentucky. Jeff Ruby, the owner of the restaurant, said, “I didn’t want to serve him because of my convictions of what he’s done to those families...  Read More »

My hair is naturally curly. And like many other women with curly hair, I’ve always wanted it to be straight. A friend a mine gave me a flat iron several years ago, in hopes that I would tame my mane, but it quickly became evident that I needed a lot more help than an iron from a drug store could give me. Since then, I have found an awesome chick to cut and style my hair, and she taught me how to correctly flatten my mop. Tina Souza of Gavora Studio is a Godsend!...  Read More »

Have you ever been picking out fresh broccoli at your local grocery store when you hear the crackle the warns of the mister and you think you have enough time to grab your little green bunch but then the water starts and gets your hand wet? No? Hmm, I must be the only one. I don’t remember those mister things even existing when I was a child. Or maybe I was just never close enough to the vegetables to notice. Here’s a fun chuckle… The new Supermarket...  Read More »

I shall always remember this day as the day that Paris Hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating her probation. TMZ.com reports… Judge Michael T. Sauer handed down the harsh sentence, telling Paris she will not be allowed work release, furloughs, use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail. She must do the time! An emotional Paris, with tears welling up in her eyes, told the judge moments before the decision “I’m...  Read More »

Los Angeles prosecutors want Paris Hilton to spend 45 days in jail for violating her probation. I TOTALLY AGREE! They also want the “heiress” to wear an alcohol monitoring device (much like the one worn by Michelle Rodriguez) and stay away from booze for 90 days, while the ankle monitor will track her compliance. City prosecutors are also asking that Paris Hilton’s driver’s license be suspended for an another four months. I wonder what...  Read More »
