Wonderin'

I'm wondering if the reason why Christain Louboutin creates such high-heeled shoes is cause he secretly wants to carry the broads that wear them and cannot walk. I reckon he's got a lift-and-carry fetish. If you don't know what that is, Google it for christssake.

Just sayin'

Dia Frampton's cover of Heartless is the most sublime thing I've heard in a longggg time.

PAN AM On Location 10/28/11

They're filming PAN AM in my neck of the woods this week. Sneaked behind the gates to snap these exteriors. Word around town is there are cast members on set, but no one could tell me exactly who. Ah, well. Fun to see the shooting nonetheless. Not to mention how weird it is to see the PAN AM plane sitting there on the runway. It's like traveling back in time.

Meth Teef

If this isn't a walking anti-drug PSA, then I dunno what is? All's I gotta say is: The More You Know.

So going to hell for thinking what I'm thinking while looking at this picture

RIP Steve

Truly one of the brightest minds of this generation. The Edison and DaVinci of our time.

Emmys 2011: Red Carpet Live!

OK, let's get this party started.

Kelly Osbourne, looking pretty good. Love the color on this gown, but it's fitted poorly at the top. Still, she looks great considering her father's the Prince of Darkness.

Emmanuelle Chriqui in a red stunner from Donna Karan, but the bottom looks like a bunch of cocktail napkins tacked there with a hasty stitch or two.

Julia Stiles. Love this very feminine silohuette. Lots of pretty draping on the bodice.

Cobie Smulders in a gorgeous teal-y, robin's egg blue chiffon gown with flowing train. So far, my favorite look for the evening.

Jayma Mays in a well... in something I'm pretty sure one of my 1980s Barbies wore. Ooof, this is a hot mess. It's a near antebellum-catastrophe, all that's missing is the hoop.

Jennifer Carpenter channeling Jennifer Lopez, but without the curves and the entourage. It's a little Vegas-y for my taste. I'm not averse to bling, but I dunno. I'm on the fence here.

Christine Baranski. I kinda love this. She looks fab in this daring plunging neckline. The sleeves are constructed in an unexpected way and the collar is a nice touch. It's not your average LBD. Well done. 

Joel McHale, who's obviously put getting on the worst dressed list on his agenda for this evening. 

Lea Michele, looking fabulous as usual. The back is a draped plunger. The sleeves are origami-esque. Fits like a glove. Exact same color as the red carpet. Lovely. 

Christina Hendricks, who should be playing Marilyn Monroe in the upcoming biopic -- not Michelle Williams, but I digress. This color washes her out and I'm not crazy about the fit on top, but with a top like that -- it's always hard to get the fit right. 

Cat Deely in Monique Lhullier. Eh. Terrible bag. Beach hair. She looks like she rolled out of bed. 

Michelle Forbes. Some might find this boring, but the detail is to die for. The bust line is really flattering, as are the soft rosettes on the skirt. Really lovely. 

Juliana Margolies. And we have a contender for WORST DRESSED. On film, this dress is a complete disaster. Trust me when I say a still photo does not do this catastrophe justice. Those jeweled embellishments on the bodice look like the giant teardrops of a sad hobo clown. 

Kaley Cuoco. This is a terrible photo of a really adorable dress, which is even cuter from the back. Some might chastise her for doing the red bag and shoes, but I think this is adorably retro -- sue me. 
 

Claire Danes. Ick. That is all.

Jane Krakowski in a silvery ivory number. She always looks fab. Rarely ever gets it wrong. 

Naya Rivera in a gorgeously retro formfitting gown. From the hair to the silhouette, she got it right.  

Kerry Washington. Great up top, falls apart by the bottom. Did they run out of lining? 

Elizabeth Moss in Marchesa, which might actually be one of my favorite dresses of the evening. 

Gwyneth Paltrow in Pucci. Yet another contender for WORST DRESSED. WTF is with the midriff? Really? So tacky.
 

 

Heidi Klum in Christian Siriano. I had to slam Siriano, but I gotta do it. I just gotta. The effing ruffles on this schmattah look like wilted broccoli. If this walked down the Project Runway, Heidi would tear it a new asshole. 

Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang. Gor-ge-ous. Nuff said.

Katie Holmes, who obviously stopped by the Emmy red carpet just after working out at her gym.

Evan Rachel Wood and Kate Winslet. Yawn. They bore me.

Live Blogging the 2011 EMMY Red Carpet

Beginning 6pm tonite, J&M will be Live Blogging the Emmy Award Red Carpet. Stay tuned (and keep refreshing)!

The EPIC FAIL of Bad Ideas

Here's something that shouldn't be happening: Charlie Sheen and ex Brooke Mueller are patching things up -- proving that misery does indeed love company. God help the city of Los Angeles, nay -- the world!

Charlie Sheen's newest goddess? His ex-wife Brooke Mueller! The divorced duo was spotted in L.A. Friday hopping aboard a private jet, and a source tells Us Weekly Sheen, 45, and Mueller, 34, are "thinking of getting back together."... A source tells Us the parents have been "getting counseling and therapy [with] the boys" and Mueller, who has struggled with substance addiction, is "actually responding to treatment." [us]

Run and tell that.

Like buttah...like a big stick of buttah.

God, I love a cat fight. I'm not proud of it, but I do like a good, juicy morsel of hot gossip now and then. But you knew that already, didn't you?

Well, then you should know this tidbit made my effing day. Anthony Bourdain, acid-tongued chef-turned-author/TV personality and Paula Deen, the self-imposed Queen of Down Home Cooking are having at it tooth and nail as we speak. And let me tell you -- this volley is worth every single sinfully delicious calorie:

Sniped Bourdain to TV Guide: "(She is) the worst, most dangerous person to America. She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations, and she's proud of the fact that her food is f---ing bad for you. I would think twice before telling an already obese nation that it is OK to eat food that is killing us. Plus, her food sucks."

Deen's not going down without a fight. The mayonnaise-loving, down-home cooking Georgia peach responded with an angry statement to Page Six, telling the column: "Anthony Bourdain needs to get a life. You don't have to like my food.... But it's another thing to attack our character. I wake up every morning happy for where I am in life. It's not all about the cooking, but the fact that I can contribute using my influence to help people all over the country. In the last two years, my partners and I have fed more than 10 million hungry people by bringing meat to food banks." She adds, "I have no idea what Anthony has done to contribute besides being irritable."

Humbled but unapologetic, Bourdain tweets: "Resolved: Next time I'm asked (for the millionth time) who the worst cooks on Food Network are, I'll just shut up. Who cares?" [yahoo/omg]

Someone hand me a Mint Julip already, 'cause goodness gracious, I've got the vapors.

Too much Tiger's Blood will do that to a person

 Gotta hand it to CBS and the producers of Two and a Half Men. When scripting Charlie Sheen's big exit from the show, they wanted to make completely certain he couldn't -- ever -- come back. Now, the only way to possibly make that happen (should Charlie ever regain his senses) would be getting the cast to pile into a big ol' time machine or having him return to haunt Jon Cryer as the Ghost of Christmas Past. 

Here are some of the gory details of Charlie's funeral:

Charlie Sheen's character on Two And A Half Men will exit the series in a bloody bang. Earlier this week, pictures were released showing a funeral scene, complete with flower arrangements, church pews and one of the iconic bowling shirts worn by Charlie Harper throughout the show. Now new details have emerged revealing Charlie will die a violent death when he is mowed down by a subway trained. Chuck Lorre the show creator reportedly considered several scenarios, including having Charlie drive off a cliff, but he settled on a bloody subway accident. [dailymailuk]

Sorry 'bout that. We effed up.

In a complete about face to their former statements, Glee producers are now admitting to a PR eff up of epic proportions:

Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Chris Colfer are not leaving "Glee" after season 3. Contrary to Ryan Murphy's statement that the three regulars are "not going to be back at all" for season 4, executive producer Brad Falchuk said at the Comic Con panel on Sunday, July 24 that "they are not done with the show after this season." [ace showbiz]

Those must have been some very busy agents during the last couple of weeks. And, I'm sure this cost Fox a whole lotta cash they weren't planning on spending. Oh, well. That kinda thing will happen when someone gets diarrhea of the mouth.

Saw it coming, but it doesn't sting any less...

Amy Winehouse, dead at 27.

Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in London. The Back To Black singer was found at the property by emergency services at 3.54pm, and it's believed Winehouse's death was due to a suspected drug overdose. Winehouse was apparently 'beyond help' when paramedics arrived, according to Sky sources. Sources have also claimed Winehouse's death was due to a drug overdose. [daily mail/uk]

No, it's not a surprise, of course. Just a damn shame. More proof, as if we needed any, why drugs suck. For such a young artist, she had a remarkable skill. Taking today's language and topics and blending them with a wall-of-sound '60s vibe -- creating a throwback feel that was truly modern. No one sounded like Amy; no one will.

For all her faults, and we know them well, it cannot be overstated what an amazing talent she was -- and what a terrible loss her untimely death is. 

• Interesting, and chilling, photo retrospective of artists who all died at 27.

SVU gets up in Arnold's grill

Oh, this is going to be one very tense hour of TV for Ah-nold. Well, he had it coming. You can't write stories like his. Instead, you gotta "rip them from the headlines." And, that's exactly what Law and Order: SVU plans on doing.

NBC's Special Victims Unit series will air an episode loosely based on the scandal surrounding the disgraced former California governor, including his secret son and the fallout from his extra-marital affair, TVLine.com reports. For the fictional TV take, a charming 50-something philanthropist named Andrew Raines has an affair with a woman close to his family's inner circle -- just like Schwarzenegger did with he and Maria Shriver's former housekeeper, Mildred Barnea. SVU's storyline will also involve the child produced as a result of the affair. When reached by TVLine.com, NBC declined to comment, other than to say that "SVU is fiction." [us weekly]

Set your DVRs now! ;)

Does WEtv have money to burn?

Does anyone care if Shannen Doherty gets married -- again? More importantly, is anyone interested in watching a reality show about the planning of said marriage? (Those are rhetorical questions, btw.)

Doherty, 40, will star in her own WEtv reality series about her life with her fiancé, celebrity photographer Kurt Iswarienko, Entertainment Weekly reports. The unscripted show will go behind-the-scenes as the actress plans her big day – from wedding planners to her wedding dress – and renovates her Malibu home. [people]

OMG, I couldn't give less of a shit. There really was nothing better on WE's programming roster than this? I'd rather watch Luke Perry give lifeless readings from Leaves of Grass than sit through this shit. For real.

And, who are we kidding anyway? If she actually makes it to the alter, it will be a miracle. OK, for argument's sake, say she does make it to the alter -- I give this marriage 6 months, tops.
