A couple of fashion news bites from the off-kilter world of celebrity fashion, over which Karl Lagerfeld seems to preside like a sinister master of puppets: Madonna took some flack for wearing the “Miami Vice” heels that mad genius Lagerfeld designed for Chanel‘s 2009 resort collection, which feature a tiny handgun made of plexiglass instead […]

Britney Spears Sex Tape for Sale?
Just when the poor girl was getting her life back on track, it would seem that an evil soul-patched slug from her past has come crawling out with a sex tape under his arm. (That is, if slugs had arms.) You undoubtedly recall Adnan Ghalib — the super creepy, weirdly bearded papparazzo who wormed his […]
October Surprise?
Talking with some friends this weekend, one of the topics of conversation was the fear/possibility that Osama could be served up on a platter sometime before election day.

THIS is a $15 million photo! A young, hot Brad Pitt lounging on (and possibly impregnating) a leopard? That’s not worth $15 […]
Andy Dick Arrested; Still Owes Me 20 Bucks
Have I mentioned I went to college with comedian Andy Dick? We weren’t super tight, but we knew each other, and he still owes me $20 for a pizza that I paid for, and that he ate. That being said, this is what he looks like now in a police booking photo taken last night. […]
Don’t Mess with Das Gut!
It’s no great secret that I worship actor Steve “Das Gut” Guttenberg. His work in such films ranging from Police Academy to Cocoon to Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol clearly show a man whose attention to the subtlety of art can not be understated. However, as this picture taken by the paparazzi on the […]
