I love Ludacris! Apparently, Gabrielle Union and Ludacris have been seen in and around town... Rumors intensified Union has been linked to Miami Heat player Dwayne Wade and was rumored to have been at the center of his divorce.
Yet another reality show... but this one looks kind of catchy. Let's face it... true or not, we all assume that models are stupid. F***ck, I want them to be stupid. I NEED them to be stupid, because otherwise it would be too unfair if they were unbelievably hot and were also rocket scientists!
Here is what well cared for looks like - perfect hair, perfect makeup, perfect dress. I usually don't like to randomnly post like this... but this look is worth it. Dress by Elie Sabb. On a related note, Project Runway returns on November 14 on the Bravo network... I can't wait!
I just found this recent picture of Uma Thurman riding around on a scooter in NYC? My question is- why not have a driver? And if you're environmentally friendly - why not walk? A Scooter? Maybe actors/actresses don't make as much as we think-- I mean, look at all the people getting DUIs! Get a driver for crying out loud!
WOW. This is even worse than the previous blog... someone dressing the same as their dog. WOW. This is way worse, because you are dressing your dog and you had the foresight to buy the "twin" outfit. Honestly, why?
WHY do couples choose to dress alike? I remember in high school, it was so cool to dress like your boyfriend. I never did, thankfully... In any event, what you do in high school is forgivable (or so I would like to think)... but when you are living with your boyfriend, you know what he is wearing before you walk out of the house. There is absolutely NO reason to dress alike.
No, she's not getting her boobs redone (or else we would be at 6 or 7 times...), Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon recently applied for a marriage license and were approved. You may know Salomon best from his hit movie with Paris Hilton, "One Night In Paris."
NERD ALERT... I love knowing these things. These are words that we use every day that came from real people. Highlights...http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/wayoflife/09/13/awful.words/index.html
What a huge waste of money... $47,000 for a present for a 10 year old kid? Do you know what $47,000 can buy? While the family wishes to remain "anonymous"- won't we know who the 10 year old kid is once he's on the movie screen?
Who knew that we could be so close to living in the Jetsons age? Already popular in Japan and South Korea (why are those Asians so much more technologically advanced!), the developers of this new generation of robots are hoping that this will bring robots into the American home.
China has banned TV and radio ads for push-up bras and figure-enhancing underwear in the communist government's latest move to purge the nation's airwaves of what it calls "social pollution."The Chinese government believes that, "they not only seriously mislead consumers, harm the people's health, pollute the social environment, and corrupt social mores, but also directly harm the credibility of public broadcasting and affect the image of the Communist Party and the government" the notice said.
Here is something I really don't get now... let me preface this with the fact that I love Elton John... come on, you do too! This man is known to sell out in seconds... and he is having a nine city concert and one of the cities is Estoro, Florida? Is this serious? What? Do people hate him now? Is he going to be a sideshow at the next Marlins game? What's next... and the tickets are pretty cheap too, they start at $67 and max out at $97.... and then there is another concert in Orlando. Huh?
Apparently, it is... this is just ridiculous. Can you imagine living your life like this?
The fact that some GOOMBA out there still doesn't get this concept leaves me completely speechless... almost. Basically, some GOOMBA woman asks why men are into two chicks going at it and whether girls who do that are lesbians. To wit, the "expert" responds, "In our fantasy, the two women fall under our spell as we stand with hands on our hips, our lordly sex organ inspiring awe. We throw our heads back with a conquering laugh. And then the two women proceed to please us in many and sundry ways, which may include performing naughty lesbian sex for our kingly amusement. Why do you think there are thousands of pictures floating around the Internet of girls making out with each other on nightclub dance floors? They are not all lesbians."
My favorite item on PF Chang's menu are their lettuce wraps. Well, I don't like much else... Anyways, the PF Chang's website had the recipe online a while ago, but the "feature recipe" changes every month. In any event, I hunted it down for all of us (me mainly), so that I can make them any time I want. I have used this recipe and it is certifiably delicious... I do make changes (in terms of oil and no mushrooms or fried stuff), but hardly noticeable! A great starter for a dinner party. I included a link that has the recipe.
Pope Benedict XVI has been labeled by some as the most "fashionable" pope... he frequently rides in the Popemobile with his little red Pradas and Gucci sunglasses. However, who knew that he wanted to impart this gift upon others? The Pope recently shared his love of fine Italian shoes with the homeless in Minneapolis. After giving Vatican representatives a tour of Sharing and Caring Hands, a homeless mission, the nonprofit received two large boxes containing several dozen pairs of handmade Italian shoes from the Pope. Mission director Jo Copeland described the papal charity as "Just grand! This is just the best gift. That Pope Benedict, wherever you are, God bless you!"
A while ago, I wrote about ABS and designer "knockoffs" in general. Well, now your DOG can be fashionable... Doggie couture label, Little Lily, carries designer inspired gowns... for a mere $88, Ling could wear America Ferrera's Monique Lhullier gown... or Katherine Heigl's white Zac Posen for $120... this is RIDICULOUS again.
Growing up, I loooooveed Besty Johnson - her clothes were so funky, she had pink hair and she would cartwheel around. While I don't like her stuff as much anymore (it has gotten kind of weird), I would love to vacation in her crazy house in the Mexican Riviera with 7 of my best friends... have tea in the pink room, enjoy margaritas at her tiki bar...
While Victoria's Secret are known for their underwear, I really like their bathing suits too. Besides the VS brand, there are some really good swimsuit brands that design especially for Victoria's Secret- including Vix, Le Tarte, Juicy Couture, etc... The point being, the VS collection is always a less expensive alternative to what bathing suits are selling for and some stores are even carrying them now! So, there is no risk in the shipping process... The only place that I have seen them "live" is Town Center in Boca Raton though... yet another reason the Town Center is the best mall South of the Mason Dixon line.
I don't know if this is real. But who cares! It's kind funny. I know some of you - especially those of you in Junior League, who shall remain unnamed - have thought this before. 
Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the "NO FLY" list? Seriously... I had an outdated license by TWO days and I was seriously detained, my luggage sifted through and puffed by that new weird machine... but AHMADINEJAD can come over here? REALLY?
As if it weren't patently obvious, The Hills "star" confessed to Us Weekly that she had undergone breast augmentation and rhinoplasty. WOW... I would have never known!!! My favorite portion of her "newsflash" article... she sounds like such a moron I can't even deal.
Was doing my usual channel flipping on a Tuesday night... until I came across an advertisment for "Keeping Up With the Kardashians"- a new reality show set to start next week on the E! network. I seriously think that reality television will film any family - the Osbornes, the Carters, the Kiss Family... and now the Kardashians. Anyways, Kim is best known for her sex tape with Brandy' brother Ray J and her father's status as a member of the "OJ Dream Team." I feel worst for her sisters... Kim is clearly the one who got the looks in that group...
I don't know why anyone would take "dieting" tips from Oprah, but here goes (sorry to the Oprah fans). These are her tips to "curb" hunger... not that any of them are groundbreaking, but always a nice reminder. I am surprised that "drink water" isn't on there. I feel like that is the universal one right now.
Due to the high frequency in which $5 bills were being bleached to counterfeit $100... the $5 bill has been given a makeover! The new bill will feature splashes of grey and purple. The new note will start printing next week in Fort Worth, Texas. They are expecting to put $1.5 billion in circulation.
Last month, Nicole Kidman revealed that she was engaged to "someone" prior to marrying Keith Urban. Many on the inside believed it to be Lenny Kravitz. Anyways, this blog has nothing to do with that. This blog has to be with the fact that Lenny Kravitz is weird. I used to think of him as this cool rocker... and now I just think he smokes too much weed or trips on too much acid, best evidenced by this gem of a quote, "I'm not in Rio -- I'm in the mountains with parrots and monkeys and waterfalls. It's really about looking inward. You become very introspective here, you have the atmosphere in which to hear yourself."
A news report is reporting that Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, is going to be joining the Pussycat Dolls... I can't really tell if she will be actually touring (as the article implies) or whether she is just going to be dancing around the pole at the Pussycat Lounge in Vegas.
I get all of these e-mails from Saks and Neiman (not because I'm a baller, but because at one time or another I signed up for a chance to win a $1000 shopping spree that could buy me a sock)... Anyways, I rarely open them, but the title "Dior in Fuschia" really caught my eye. Needless to say, the actual fuschia items are not cute. What is wrong with the House of Dior and why have they not been able to put a decent handbag collection since the saddle bag? Seriously, they are falling behind.
I admit that this is a gratuitous posting for me... but you'll deal! I had never really understood the "fascination" with wallpaper or worse "Wall Decals" until I saw it first hand. In visiting my local Pottery Barn last week, they were showing quick and easy ways of changing a room and the best way was paint (obviously) but then also wall decals! They come on and off easily and look GREAT in person. What did I love most? Bamboo - would look so awesome in the right bathroom... but another great choice, the shadow chandelier. I didn't include the PB site, but this attached website is dedicated to wall decals only. The way I see it, this is the grown up version of stickers... now only if I could scratch and sniff.
I came across a picture of this toaster and couldn't help but blog about it. Inventables, LLC is coming up with ways to re-invent household items and apparently, they are close to releasing this. The transparent toaster will allow you to "see" how dark your toast is, so you don't have to worry about burnt toast... I guess the people at Inventables never heard of a toaster oven, but I digress. I'll be lining up for one when it comes out. :)
Well... Close. While dining at Dean & Deluca this weekend, I came across this interesting bottle of water that looked like a flask. The reactions from people were pretty funny... I haven't seen it in Florida yet, but I have attached a photo. "SEI Water" - I'm not sure what it stands for yet... but I like it. Just goes to show that water is not created equal...
First off, I cannot believe that I missed the first 30 minutes... however, I was not too late to miss some total GOOMBA moments.
I don't know why I take secret pleasure in the fact that Jessica Alba's movie fell way below box office expectations... but there is something I simply don't like about her. First and foremost, the actual movie premise sounds horrible... and then this below article "Good Luck Chuck Made Me Upchuck" makes me want to watch the movie even less (if that's possible).
On Monday Starbucks announced that it will soon provide its customers with more than 50 million free digital songs to download from iTunes in a move that will give a significant boost to their recent deal with Apple Inc. to launch a new wireless iTunes music service.
Kind of interesting. A teen posted her photos on http://www.flickr.com/ -- her picture wound up being used in a Virgin Mobile campaign.... Interesting that Flickr says that once you post them, they become available for commercial use. Worth watching... especially since our free life is posted!
I think growing up, ABS was the company that replicated the "red carpet" dresses, but now 24 hours after the stars hit the red carpet, New York design company Faviana is the duplicater of choice. 
It's National Singles Week... As ABC say, "Nobody sent me a card, but it's National Singles Week — a time for mothers, fathers and everyone else to appreciate their unmarried friends." It's like David v. Goliath... everyone versus the unmarried friends. HIDS. The article does go through interesting courting gifts...including roses that have an mp3 player attached to say, "I love you." UGH... I cannot even begin to tell you how weird I think that gift would be if it arrived, but I suppose that is a matter of personal taste... for all of you morbidly curious people, the rose website is http://www.speakingroses.com/ .
Britney Spears has been ordered to undergo random drug and alcohol testing twice a week... the order basically requires Spears and Federline to stop using drugs and/or alcohol at least 12 hours being caring for their children. What a joke... so, basically, they can get completely wasted 13 hours before caring for the kids... whatever. Britney will also be followed by a "parenting coach" who will help her fine tune her parenting skills.
I don't know why I post about these things, but I do. The "emoticon" or :) as we know turns 25 tomorrow. 25 years ago professor Scott E. Fahlman first used the computer "smiley face"
