Obviously

Ryan Gosling has been working out.

And you certainly will not hear me complain about it

Really

bummed for Madge. I know fifty isn't OLD, but divorce is hard at any age and she lives under such a microscope, AND they really once did seem so in love. It makes you wonder if you can really work as hard as she does, AND keep your relationship together.

Again with that HAIR

and now it's greasy so it's just plain mullet central. It has to be for a role, it just has to. I would have already had two glasses of wine and re-cut it myself.

Check out those TEEF

on lil Violet Affleck

She always

has the best big comfy cardigans that if you're walking down the street and you get tired, you can just fall down and go to sleep. I love the new gray one.

Zooey

looks like such a real STAR-- her looks have really graduated from twee lil indie actress to full blown A List film female.

Well if this isn't the most elegant classic timeless outfit ever, that Kiera is wearing. I can't wait to have money again. I should post this pic over my computer to keep up the motivation. Still, Kieara looks so fragile and light that Sienna could just flip her over her arm and then hoist her in the air and she's just float away forever.

I just really really feel for her

I am very famils with that certain strain of denial when you can just kinda sorta fit into all those clothes that fit 2 years ago-- they still ZIP, so they fit right? Anyway, the lesson here is "zipping" does not equal "fitting." But P.S. I have no sympathy for those boots in the top pic.

22 year olds

Sporting the Florida pride. This Gramma look that the young'uns keep wearing can only fit in the 18 - 24 bracket, after that, you just don't TRY to look old...

as much as I love the clothing choices I have never thought she looked healthy, and here I think she looks less healthy than ever-- she should be 15lbs heavier-- her bobble head is a quick tell-tale.

Thoughts and Concerns

about what Emile Hirsch wore out in Paris last night? I think he is losing his legos. That situation is all hi ho silver.

Again, I admit

Kirsten Dunst, out and about shopping on her day off from filming with Ryan Gosling, looks great, I think. Again with my motorcycle boots fetish... But personally I just can't pull on a pair of those with short shorts onto my stocky legs and actually walk out of the house. Everyone I passed would go blind.

I really loved my hair this pitch black

but everyone I love tells me it's atrocious. Still, might wing it tomorrow for the 675th time in my life. Just in case this time it really WORKS.

I am obsessed with the news that "the next Kate Moss" Agyness Deyn is dating Albert Hammond Jr, from the Strokes, because I can't tell you how unattractive I find him, and I would say that he is probs a really nice person, but I remember from my RS days that he really wasn't all that nice, but maybe I was just, I mean I was definitely too dorky to talk to if you were a rockstar... but also, he's friends with a particular ex of mine which just throws up an explosion of red flags... To boot (whatever that means) she dumped this lil' cutie for him.I guess when you can literally have anyone, you get bored and then you gotta get creative.

When I go to the beach

I cover up in a ratty towel from summer camp, or my Umbros, like this lil' tyke. Obvs, this Blake Lively situation would certainly be a step up for me. But then again, so would the hair and the body.

I didn't get

Miranda Kerr, Orlando Bloom's relatively new GF before, but now I do. So, so pretty.

Make up your minds, fashion industry

They tried to save their hides and meekly say they wouldn't support anorexic models, and now, after this recent runway appearance, they are calling Karolina Kurkova too "fat." Hypocrites, who clearly want the models to starve, not eat, no in between.

thoughts

Is he really that much shorter than her? It is an issue. They look like carnies.Is Jessica Biel trying out for Boys Don't Cry 2 or something? This hair is anything but fetch.
I know Hohan and Nicole Ritchie once shared/do share the same stylist, so maybe that's why I drool over their everyday choices so much (not so much their red carpet situations, though) but I really love love this legging heels t shirt motorcycle jacket look. Does that make me gay? I'm only asking because the look is very hot / tough 90's Melissa Etheridge- listening biker chick. And I say Melissa Etheridge because once I dusted off my 1992 motorcycle boots for a night out with Kate and we were walking down the street and she said "no offense but you look like you listen to Melissa Etheridge." Which was rude.
Smart. Just out of the hospy-- where they detected early signs of emphysema-- and sucking on a cigarette. She is going to regret the way she treated her body so much if she lives long enough to feel regret.

Sorry, Pete

I guess because of all the fun I made of Pete Doherty's cold sore, karma bit me hard in the lip. You know how you can talk yourself out of it, that it's really happening? I just kept telling myself I was being a hypochondriac and to try to fall asleep, and then I woke up with Mt. Vesuvius on my lip. But I guess if Katie Holmes can walk around the way she did, with PAPARAZZI following her, then I can slink to the grocery store across the street.
In other news I joined a dieting community that is like myspace for people that want to lose or gain weight, and it's basically an electronic food diary with a lot of other features, and I've lost 3 lbs in 2 days by watching what I eat and logging it on there, and exercising, obvs, but I am taking today off because my lip is throbbing so I am not in the mood. But I asked a couple supportive friends to log on to be my friends and they did and I am really happy. Supposedly, if I stay steady, I will be at my goal weight by our 3 year anniversary, which is Aug 12th.
Also, I'm writing a tiny piece for SPIN, it was supposed to be bigger but models who turn to music careers don't seem to want to comment on their modeling background, which is fine, I guess, but stupid. Been working on the end of Wendy again thanks to all the support from my lovely friends.
Tim leaves tomorrow but just for four days, which is fine, the girls and I will fill up our time well, but I worry I won't be as social as I should because of the mini volcano. Maybe just lunch at the Ivy.

Love it Love it Love it

She is so Eddie V's fave groupie girlfriend circa 1991, aka the girl I wanted/still want to be.

OK

Now I'm starting to suspect she's hiding something. Two Granny dresses in a week! One is a statement, two is a conspiracy.

New life new do

I like Hathaway's hair short, and I'm glad she got rid of her snakeoil salesman

Crazy Late Night Partay

It was just another sleepy Wednesday night before Guacky brought home two piggy ears from the market...Needless to say the girls are feeling a bit hungover today.

TJR

"He was a boy of summer. He met his wife on a summer day. His son was born in summer. And so it is that we blow him a kiss goodbye on a soft summer evening, this sweetheart of a man who always left us smiling."
-Mike Barnicle


"Big Russ" is not with us here in this hall today. He's watching,
however, I am assured from Buffalo. And I want to take just a moment
to talk to him.

"Big Russ," you may remember about a dozen years ago, you sent me
this. This is a mug from the American Legion Post 721 in South
Buffalo. And for every morning since that time, it has been my first
companion as I brush my teeth. But now, I'm going to set this mug
aside. I'm going to save it for election night. I'm going to fill it
with this Rolling Rock that I pilfered just today from Tim's cooler,
here in Washington. I'll fill the mug with the Rolling Rock and I
hope that a call will come: "Tommy B., what's happening? This is
wild!"

But, I know that that call won't come. The voice will linger only in
my heart and in my memory. And so on election night, "Big Russ," I
will raise this glass to you. For your gift to us of Tim and to your
favorite saying, it was his and mine as well, "What a country." Thank
you."

Still Douchey

But leaving Tortilla Flats! Oh how I miss that place on an NYC summer night.
BTW, we realized we are too broke to move back anytime this summer. So we're banking on making it work here for a while. It might be a year, or two! Weird. Life is weird. I'm a CALIFORNIAN. But I certainly don't feel like it. Still, we have to embrace our now. I've been angry at myself once again for wasting time, in the wake of the loss of Tim Russert. That man did not waste one damn second. I feel icky mentioning him in the same post as Penn, but it's no disrespect, I just haven't stopped thinking of him since last Friday, and so he pops up in the most random of thoughts.

Everyone Hates This

but just like M. Night's The Village, I love to love the bombs.

wee feet

We got it!!! (the wii fit) And are playing an all-night marathon. And it was Guacky's birthday so we videotaped her and Gracie eating bacon cheese burgers from Burger King. I'll post the quicktime for you, Sarah Ann, soon!

L'Obsession

Have you guys seen La Vie En Rose? If you have, you probs would guess I am obsessed with Marion Cotillard.
I feel like she's pretty much the perfect woman. Whereas Angelina is very harsh, too striking, Cotillard is soft and pretty and femme but very strong and intelligent. So anyway, previously, I was in love with Guillaume Canet, from seeing him as Cotillard's costar in Love Me If You Dare (an effed up movie but pretty well done). He and Cotillard apparently had an affair during the movie-- he was, at the time, married. So, with a leetle beet of research I realized they are Paris's Brangelina -- they say she stole the Brad Pitt of France away from golden girl Diane Krueger who is now with cute as hell, but perhaps not as sexy, Joshua Jackson.

Cotillard/Canet being all Parisian:

Just Because

Happy Friday! And, Dang.

I had

dinner in Venice and the air was thick and cold and full of sea water just like the Vineyard, so it was enough to pretend you were happy, and I ate with a girl who would remind you of you guys-- could make fun of herself with beautiful words but terribly intelligent and going places all at once-- but of course the car broke so I couldn't lift the convertible top so I drove home in 50 degrees blasting the hot air and listening to old Cursive imagining what Tim was like at 20.Don't you wonder sometimes? He's 34 in two months! I guess Jenn and Kels know. Oh and I'm listening to that song Bebban wrote about me, when I was 25. I like remembering I was an insane NYC party girl sometimes, it sure makes my doggies on the couch laugh when we watch Lifetime. This is someone's pic of Venice, where the dags and Tim and I hope to move if I score that MTV gig:

But, take your breath away...
nothing beats the Vineyard. Tim and I daydreamed we were already retired and living there with 8 more doggies and two more outdoor showers.

We talk about just picking up and moving there, but you girls have seen the camps the Wilsons have there know we would have to put a lot of moola into winterizing them. We'd also get crazy bored, but it sure is a beautiful dream. I love this stupid post card photo because there is nothing like a storm on the Vineyard to get you all Teenwitch when Louise walks down the street and there's all that breeze and wind chimes tinkling and you know at that moment your life will never be the same again.

Today (well yesterday now) was our two year and ten month anniversary. I was low about SPIN and MTV and all the sudden I turned around and Tim said "Happy Anniversary Little One! Let's Go Bowling!" So we went, and he KILLED me, but he sure as hell lifted my mood with his stupid dancing and overall Timness. Next time I growl about him, slap me.

Tonight Lily Allen was at our sushi dins! She really did look normal in real life except for the most exceptional sequined tote I have ever seen. I hope to post it tomorrow!

After that frosty 45 min drive I came home, made a mix for my girls, and kept working on what I consider the dumbest freelance piece alive. (No offense Er I know u agree w/o agreeing). Tim gave me a real ribbing about finishing WENDY, but I've convinced myself you girls only like it cuz it's me. How could it stand the real lit test out in the world? Don;t we have an insider vernacular which just won't work out there? Lizzy Goodman told me she just finished a whole book on Cat Power, which makes me feel like an asshole. Why can't I finish anything? Rachel DW is out there fighting wars everyday, especially for women, Kate G saves people in need everyday, Lauren cures sad hearts and heads everyday, SA takes every child under 16s life into her hands as if they were her own, Erica is so fierce and fighting for her own proud corner of NYC everyday, Carolyn works for the best gallery in all of NYC maybe even the world, Mary looks and sounds better than I've ever seen her, Lucy is having a baby and has never seemed more in perfect unison with life, Marjorie has a guy that loves her and is working at TJ's home and is making her grandaddy very proud, Jenn loves and fights for her kiddies every second then acts like it's nothing, Kels is brilliant but keeps it to herself so she can leave work and just give to her loved ones, Rach has two babies and has never looked hotter, Kate McGuire broke her leg but is happy and in love (I would just milk it and whine), Wattsy is all married and sassy pretty, I guess I could go on and on. I'm just wondering what I've done. It's been three years since I left NYC to "get a real life". I have one, but if it were a painting, a lot is still uncolored, a mere sketch really. I guess there's a lot to wonder about. I mean I just always knew what I was doing, since I put that first Rolling Stone on my shelf at 12. Now I have no fucking clue. I never thought this would be me, I never pictured myself without a dream. It's always been writing, but how? Where?

OK at least this is not my sitch
You guys I am sorry but if I walked out of my door to start my day and I saw her wandering around on my street (which if you know my street is a TOTAL possibility) I would pull one of those things I do like when my schizophrenic neighbor starts screaming about satan. I just mumble to myself about forgetting my keys or WHATEVER and SCRAM back in the hizzouse.



In my opinion, LLo has never looked happier than on the set of Labor Pains. Solid relationship, first job in years, and sober. And I have always wanted a cute little overbite like that. i fear I have been cursed with the mongolian UNDER bite. I would prefer the long island over bite, if God had taken the time to ask. Lauren I know you think she needs a trim but they're just extensions.



and i know this is why SA doesn't like to gossip, but I for one say I am glad to see a celeb my age is having the same aging knee problemos as me with no shame. And tha tis all! Nothing snarky!!! xx
