Beautiful smile, no? Lovin’ the beach hair too.

A few pics from Entertainment Weekly’s Must Have list. Christina looks amazing - Vanessa Carlton and Nelly Furtado do also, mind you… I’m just all about Christina. She’s back to being clean-looking, groomed and gorgeous again. That whole xtina with the grunge and grim - straight up nasty.

While flipping through an issue of Rolling Stone I saw a ad for a website called HippieShop.com. Curiosity convinced me that I had to give it a look. I can’t claim to be too into a lot of the artists the site focuses on, but I do love myself some Stones. I think I was born singing Honky Tonk Woman. Must’ve freaked mom right out.

The patch above would be pretty hot sewn onto a pair of jeans, don’t ya think? Just in time for the 4th of July. There are also some amazing tees, candles, posters, throws, etc. The Stones are joined by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Doors, and lots of others as featured artists. There’s also an endless supply of goodies that don’t have anything to do with music at all, like peace signs, clothes, candles, Brady Bunch-looking sunglasses etc.

Check out the Hippie Shop - I think you’ll like it, whether you’re a hippie or not. There’s no getting around it, retro is sexy.

So, what’s Madonna been up to? By the looks of it, slowly but surely losing her mind.

I read that recently she cleaned up her act for her dad - okay, for a night.

In her performances, she constantly drops the F bomb, repeatedly flips her middle finger at the crowd, reaches inside her pants, and suggests that people perform a lewd act on President Bush. (I’ve always known this was a class act we were dealing with, but daaang.)

I think I’ve added a new word to my vocabulary, Madonna-dumb. When I first saw the top pic (I mean, really, what IS up with that?), the first thing I thought was, “That’s Madonna-dumb.”

I’m sure in a day or two, the dumbometer will revert back to Kfed-dumb, but Madonna will be riding this horse for now. She’s dressed for it.

Have you read the story about my girl Beyonce? Okay, first of all, I’ll ‘fess up - she actually has a vice. Cant’ tell by looking at her perfectness, can’t tell by listening to her flawless voice, and it isn’t obvious in her interviews - but she has a little flaw. (Whispers) She likes fur. (shhhhhhhh)

There was an ebay bid for fans to “buy” an opportunity to dine with Beyonce. PETA (who has tried to get her attention about her own fur fetish as well as the fact that fur is in her clothing line) shelled out $9,000.00 for seats at the table.

During the meal, they approached the subject. Apparently Beyonce went stone silent and looked incredibly awkward. You think??? First of all, I’ll say this - I would never wear or sell fur. I love animals far, far, far too much for that. I can see how PETA would want to get Beyonce’s attention and convince her to drop fur - it’d be a huge fake feather in their cap. But they went about it in a terrible, classless way.

Other people paid for the opportunity to meet the star as well - and others bid on the opportunity. People who’s life could have been greatly brightened by meeting their favorite singer/actress/perfect-looking person. They screwed that up.

If the woman in charge felt compelled to handle it that way, why not AT LEAST wait until the end of the meal? Beyonce isn’t a criminal for crying out loud.

$9,000.00? Wow - alot of good could have been done with that. No one loves animals more than me (my family has 5 cats, 1 dog, and an adopted raccoon named Agatha Christie)- but as long as there are human beings in the world without a roof over their heads or food in their stomachs, I’m thinking there are other causes to throw yourself body, soul and wallet into.

Our guy Constatine gets around like nobody’s ever gotten around before. The man gets his foot in the door of every party or event that goes down. The pictures below are from the Wolfgang Puck Cut Steakhouse Opening
(5/31/2006).

Get a load of LaToya Jackson. When I first saw the pics, they were thumbnails, and I had no idea who she even was. She’s had work that didn’t work….now her whole face has turned on her. I’ve said it before - there’ll come a day when all these people who are getting so much plastic surgery will look like something out of horror movies. They’ll be led by Melanie Griffith, and we’ll all have to flee for our lives.

Check out the strange effect Eva Mendes has on Jessica Simpson.

Check out the poor gal in the background - looking all kinds of dejected. You know how it is, you go to a swank party thinking your working your cleavage - then in walks Jessica Simpson. Double the damn.

Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z Sighting at Bar Pitti Resturant in SOHO - June 11, 2006

These two always look like they stepped off a runway. They have amazing style - lovin’ his top and her shoes are to die twice for.

I gotta admit, I’m all kinds of disappointed in Ashlee Simpson. The thing I always liked most about the girl was her originality. She never seemed to want to be anyone but Ashlee - for better or worse, she struck me as someone who was married to her individuality.

Then came the divorce…and it was anything but pretty. So much for her take me as I am, this is me, love me or leave me type anthems. She caved in and threw herself under the knife….apparently more than once.

Personally, I think she’s trying to look more like Jessica - and frankly that just ain’t gonna happen. Their dad could come closer to that impressive, lofty goal.

Ashlee no longer stands out in the crowd of young Hollywood girls. She’s just like the rest - getting plastic surgery as often as some people get manicures. And I HATE the curly top lip thing she’s going for. It’s freaking ugly. I can’t even imagine what some of these girls are going to look like in 5 - 10 years. Baby Melanie Griffiths I’m afraid.

I”ll post more pics later that show her “work” more closely.
