How I long for the bygone days of couch-jumping and maniacal laughter. No, for reals. Ever since the writers and actors went on strike, all of your favorite celebs are no longer on the promotional ho stroll making fools of themselves or being tacky. Ergo, celebrity gossip isn't just in the crapper, it's an unsinkable molly brown - or a brown trout of, let's say, the Piers Morgan variety. Eeeow! No one wants that.
How do we know this? Because all the gossip sites are straining really hard to come up with stuff now that the stars are hunkering down - or protesting, God help us, like Susan Sarandon. Take "Page Six," which today has this earth-shattering news: "Barbara Walters' Last Words!" Which are the none-too-earth-shattering, "No regrets. I've had a great life." That's not just a crumb parading as a story, it's your grandfather's flaky beard dandruff and sputum dotting his dark blue shirt. What else does "Page Six" have? More on alleged child abuser Ruby Franke. That's not gossip, thats a fuck-me-sideways-with-a-monkey-wrench horror show and it doesn't count. Neither does their lead story about Derek Hough canoodling with his wife. His wife! WTF? And Derek Hough? Cue *Harpo, who's this woman* gif.
Even TMZ, a usually reliable source of celebrity fuckery, is straining. They're reporting on Travis Barker - such glamour! - who had to cut his tour short with "Blink 182" because of an unspecified family emergency. But c'mon, unless this emergency is a complete head transplant for Travis, I'm not interested. And, oh, yes, there's another story in which "a source" claims that Britney Spears will not be doing OnlyFans, because, let's be honest, save a camera showing her cooter stretched wide with a speculum, we've seen it all.
The only celebrities allowed to speak and potentially give us some decent goss or asshatary are those appearing in SAG-waiver, non-AMPTP productions, like Adam Driver - again, the glamour! - who's promoting "Ferrari," a Michael Mann movie already getting tepid reviews. And what is he talking about? The strike! How he's totally behind it and really supports...huh? Wha? Sorry, but gossip right now is like an awkward sexual advance. You may want it, but it's so clumsy and skird you just want to slap it upside the head.
Which means the best gossip right now is no gossip. It's Kylie Minogue and her verifiably batshit new music video, "Tension." I've no idea what's going on here - someone please explain (or not) - but Kylie looks fantastic and if she's intending to bring back trippy mid-90s club beats, she's succeeded. It's just no substitute for TommyGirl™ jumping on couches and this makes me sad emoticon. For our own sanity, I hope the strikes end soon.
Like the rest of us, Dustin was beyond gutted to learn the rumor going 'round the world wasn't true. Don't lose hope yet, though, Dustin! It's all we've got!
I love driving. It's the best way to clear my mind after a busy day at work. Radio on, windows rolled down, the wind rustling through my long luxurious locks late at night. "Sara" by Fleetwood Mac is a summer song, "Boys Of Summer" (of course) and "Ventura Highway" by America, too. "Ventura Highway, in the suuuunshine, where the days are longer, the nights are stronger, than mooooonshine..." This isn't Ventura Highway, but I drove down to the beach earlier today, and it works for me. But you know what the most summer'y song I've ever heard is? It's this one, and I always seem to hear it when I'm driving and the windows are rolled down and it's breezy and warm, usually at dusk or after dark. It's somber and thoughtful and sad, but I love it so much (believe it or not, even more than "Boys of Summer") so this is my official pick. I chose this particular version bc I don't know what anyone in that band ...
Julia Roberts and Amanda Seyfried both attended the Venice Film Festival to promote their upcoming films, After the Hunt and The Testament of Ann Lee , respectively. Roberts walked the red carpet on Friday evening wearing this jeans and blazer combo designed by Dario Vitale for Versace. Apparently Amanda Seyfried was so dazzled by this look that she asked her stylist, Elzabeth Stewart (who also styles Roberts) if she could wear the same outfit when she walked the red carpet on Monday. Seyfried's wish was granted and she wore the exact same ensemble. Seyfried shared a photo of her look on instagram, with a caption thanking Roberts for sharing, and used the hashtags #sustainable and #shareyourlooks. Outfit repeats have become a growing trend in Hollywood, with actors taking a more sustainable approach to fashion. Now that's all fine and good, but I do find it weird for Seyfried to have worn the exact same look as Roberts only two days after it was first shown. But, you know wha...
