We must suffer for our craft. But, as the old cliche goes: misery loves company. You can share our burden. For more [...]

WHO CARES ABOUT BRANGELINA? THE END OF STULIZE. OR CHARSTUE.

by hurricanevanessa on January 31, 2010

Oh boo hiss. News just in that SA’s unofficial Ambassador to Hollywood and her lovely Irish boyfriend have split, after 9 years.

ARE YOU CURIOUS TO SEE THE WORST RED CARPET OUTFIT ….EVER?

by hurricanevanessa on January 30, 2010

Here it is. This is the singer, Kelis, at the 1st Annual Data Awards. Poor chick. Her stylist must loathe her. Or not. Which of course, is probably closer to the truth, and scarier. For here she is, suffering a seriously bad “fashion” moment. I hold that Lady bloody Gaga responsible, myself, but her PR [...]

UNDERWEAR FOR A CONFIDENT, BUT MISGUIDED MAN

by hurricanevanessa on January 29, 2010

You can’t better this, now can you? An elephant’s trunk! In the crotch area! Big? Confident? Or 13 years old? You can’t better these man pants, but they can get worse. The website notes that “based on feedback from our customers, our sizes are small. You can order a bigger size!” Oh, excuse me while [...]
