I’ve resisted the urge to post this long enough.

I didn’t WANT to post this, because I hate the idea of celebrities NOT taking pictures with people who ask.  It was cool of him to pose with the dude - I don’t want to take away from that.

 

BUT MY GOD, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith:

A gaunt-looking Steven Tyler and...

ACK!

Could he be any dreamier?

Dancing with the Stars’ lineup is bizarre. Check it.

Seriously - Donny Osmond and Kelly Osbourne in the same room?

Molly Ringwald’s wonderful John Hughes article.

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

In a really odd and urgent way, almost immediately after hearing of John Hughes’ death, I wanted to hear from Molly Ringwald.  I felt so close to this group of people I’d never met - I wanted to hear how one of my “friends” was reacting.  At first I was disappointed to only read the standard “my heart goes out to his family” quote - then I saw this article.  It’s exactly what I’d hoped to hear from her.

Just a teensy bit of New Moon. If we want to see more, we have to go see “Bandslam” this weekend (they’re playing the whole preview before it!)

Jason Mraz on “Inspiration” - but more importantly, Jason Mraz NAKED.

Paula’s Ups and Downs (and that was just this morning)

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Here’s Newsweek’s  look back at her Idol tenure - with one tear running slowly down my cheek.

  • The summer of 2002: Paula Abdul makes her debut on American Idol. America has one question. What the heck is in her red cup?
  • January 2005: Paula looks like she’s about to fall asleep during Carrie Underwood’s first audition.
  • April 2005: A 24-year-old contestant, Corey Clark, alleges that he slept with Paula and that she coached him privately at her house. A special Idol panel investigates—did it include Simon Cowell?—and finds Paula not guilty.
  • January 2007: Paula appears on a Fox affiliate show slurring her words, giggling and waving her hands in the air (”Good morning, everyone”).
  • May 2007: Paula is rushed to the hospital right before the finale between Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis. She says she fell over her dog Tulip.
  • Later that month: An audiotape leaks featuring a weepy Paula yelling and crying at her publicist. “All I’ve ever wanted in my life is to be treated fairly and with kindness,” she says.
  • That summer: Paula’s reality show, Hey Paula, premieres, featuring Abdul yelling at her assistants (and more tears). Maybe she really is as mean as Simon Cowell.
  • April 2008: Paula gives a contestant—Jason Castro—a bad critique based on a song he hasn’t even sung yet.
  • May 2009: Paula performs! Actually, she lip-syncs her new song. For the first time in the history of the show, Simon Cowell is speechless.

My man and his classic “oh that’s cool, I didn’t mean to kiss you either” moment:
