lil' bratz dolls come to life in the form of paris hilton clones

i was always more of a barbie fan than bratz (not that bratz were available when i was a kid). but remember how barbie had her little sister stacy? and there were usually some sort of ethnic friends or family members in the form of asian and african and hispanic barbie equivalents?

now take those elements of barbie, the skankiness of bratz, and the brutal reality of paris hilton and her new clothing line, and this is what you get:

thank you for loitering, please come again

in an effort to promote the simpsons movie (out july 27), several 7-11's across the country have converted themselves into kwik-e-marts for the month of july.

The U.S. locations where a 7-Eleven store was transformed into a Kwik-E-Mart are New York City; Chicago; Dallas; Denver; Burbank, Calif.; Los Angeles; Henderson, Nev.; Orlando, Fla.; Mountain View, Calif.; Seattle; and Bladensburg, Md.

my dreams of living a life as a simpsons character is getting closer to becoming reality. of course, i have to work on this whole "not being in 2-d" thing.

morning bits & buzz

paris hilton's interview on larry king last night was as exciting as watching paint dry (so i've heard...i didn't watch). the media is trashing how she presented herself, but it probably was huge in the ratings for cnn. but hopefully not, and this could be the beginning of the world not caring about paris hilton anymore.

it's official. the spice girls are reuniting for a mini-world tour. i've already marked my calendar busy for december 11th.

my new favorite website is soundpedia, in case you were wondering. you can listen to almost any album on there. i think i'll listen to some spice girls to hype myself up for said reunion.

leave it to vh1 to develop a reality show "inspired by ugly betty" that follows "unattractive" women (their words, not mine) and throws them to the pits of the fashion industry. ugh.

and in completely random and personal news, i had a dream about this guy last night and it was UH-MAZE-ING. um, yeah.

ann coulter...still a bitch

here are some clips of ann coulter still saying disrespectful things about john edwards and his family. and also a clip of elizabeth edwards (his wife) calling into chris matthews' show while coulter was his guest.




i think i hate her more than i did now. i didn't even think that was remotely possible. the thing about wishing john edwards dead is RIDICULOUS and completely out of line...even for her. i'd say the title "godless" should be applied right back to her after this week.

video of the day: first day of shooting on indy jones set

just in case that picture of harrison ford back in his indiana jones uniform wasn't enough for you, spielberg has posted video of the first day of shooting. he doesn't reveal much, but then the anticipation wouldn' t build as much now, would it?

click here to see the video.

morning bits & buzz

i stand by my statement that suri cruise is the cuteset of all the celebribabies. readers of us weekly disagree (violet affleck is soooo not cuter!).

pete wentz apparently has enough hoodies to last him "everyday for two years" and a bunch of other unbelievable nonsense comes out of his mouth.

i have to say this is one of my favorite re-cast challenges...buzzsugar reveals a "new and improved" cast of full house.

tv squad reports that david brent and garith ricky gervais and mackenzie crook will sing "free love freeway" at the concert for diana this weekend.

it looks like lindsay has gained a few pounds around the waist area while in rehab (yesssssss!).

an open letter...

dear producers and casting directors of harry potter and the half-blood prince,

i saw that you're holding a casting call for the role of lavender brown (aka, ron weasley's first girlfriend). however, i noticed that there is a request that the girls be between the ages of 15-18. may i remind you of a little thing called "discrimination"? i don't know how it works in the UK, but here in the states, we frown upon that crap. and may i remind you that it's called acting? i mean, some of america's biggest tv shows have had 30 and 40 year olds playing teenagers (90210 ring a bell?). i'm not even 27 yet, so i can most definitely look like an 18 year old.

also, i realize there aren't many (if any) hispanic brits that exist, but why not start with the role of lavender brown. would it help if i got jk rowling to sign off on it?

what do i have to do here to get my big break? oh also, if you could fly me out to london so that i can attend said casting call at the earls court exhibition center, that would be most helpful. and accomodations at the ritz-carlton would be nice.

cheers,
i heart jim halpert

photo-op of the day: "hasta la vista baby!"

according to a british newspaper, arnold schwarzenegger was tony blair's last guest as prime minister at No10 today (former prime minister heading to cushy middle east job...or something like that).this is weird for many reasons, but seriously, arnold as your last guest as prime minister? how about nelson mandela? the pope? bono? i'd even settle for condie rice. this is just weird and so not how i'd want to end my tenure as prime minister.

movie p-review: nicolas cage's next mediocre movie sure to be a box office hit

while on IMDB today, i noticed the "top 5 movie trailers" in the corner of the screen, and number one was national treasure: book of secrets. yes, that is a sequel to the 2004 movie starring nicholas cage.
upon further investigation, it seems nicolas cage (or his agent) has figured out the secret formula to success. it's like he does a few movies that are just as shitty as the next and they do so-so at the box office. then all of a sudden, one of those shitty movies (i.e. ghost rider) strikes box office gold!


so while i won't go see this in the movie theater, i might secretly add it to my blockbuster queue. if you must see the trailer, head over to yahoo! movies.

p.s. how they got helen mirren to do this movie is beyond me.

this is a week old, but it's too cute not to post

a daily show reunion between steve carell and jon stewart (orig. air date 6/18/07). he talks about his old days at TDS, evan almighty, and the office.
