Oh, Hilary.

I never liked Hilary Duff.

Her relationship with Joel Madden back in the day annoyed me.


Her stint on "Gossip Girl" this past season was essentially useless.


And that picture of her blowing her boyfriend after he proposed to her, while hilarious, is also pretty mortifying. Like, you couldn't move the show inside? COME ON.


But having your career be so pathetic that you now have to star in those awful direct-to-ABC Family movies that inevitably veer into the awful end of the romantic-comedy spectrum?



Even I don't wish that upon anyone.

This girl is FUCKING 16. SRSLY.

Watching the Haiti telethon; I gave some money to Doctors without Borders; you should too.

In other Haiti-related news, remember how Taylor Momsen said the other day that she was too focused on finishing this season of "Gossip Girl" to give money to the relief effort? Does finishing up "Gossip Girl" TRULY REQUIRE her to always look like a nasty faux-Goth slut who is just asking to get mocked on a daily basis? Because my god, what a prostitute.


Also, I really shouldn't be surprised, because this apparently is her mother.


Parenting fail.

Trying to get back in business.

So I've been gone two weeks. My day job has started kicking my ass; my other writing on the side has been overwhelming; I have since ignored my blog. But no more - I'm going to really try and update this thing as often as I used to, with a better mix of music/celebrity/clothes. So I'll start off with a few things today that work well in all those fronts:

1. Rihanna's new music video for "Hard" is one of the most absurd things I've ever seen, and by that I mean, it's kind of boring and stupid and has this really uncomfortably military vibe which I just can't get behind. Why is there Arabic on the walls? Why is her misspelled Arabic tattoo so visible? Why is Young Jeezy pretending to be a soldier? Ugh fail, even though some of the outfits are so stupid that I love them (ahem, spiked shoulders).

Rihanna - New Music - More Music Videos

2. In Robert Downey Jr. news, the "Iron Man 2" trailer leaked, and while I didn't see the first one because I cared to stray away from its huge YAY AMERICA YAY message, I may have to see this. Mainly because Mickey Rourke with metallic whip arms is hilarious.



Oh and I find myself strangely attracted to RDJ. Especially when he looks like this on the red carpet:


P.S. Why was Blake Lively invited to that event? And why did she wear this Frederick's of Hollywood outfit there? So confusing.


P.P.S. Jonny Lee Miller was there too, even though he's not in the movie, either.


However, "Hackers" has been on HBO all week ...


... and OF COURSE I've watched it like four times by now, so I figure it's worth a mention.

3. Here's Shakira and her dude, Antonio de la Rua, out and about. They've been dating for about a decade now. I'm not OK with this. She could definitely upgrade. He looks kind of paunchy? Just a thought.


4. Designer Brian Lichtenberg, this guy,

is mass-making these one-shoulder dresses that Kim Kardashian wore to a few red-carpet events a couple of months ago and during her birthday (this one).

One Shoulder Dress in Red Velvet Leopard, $320

However, I would like this specific one.

One Shoulder Print Dress in Geometric Glitter and Velvet, $320

Does anyone have $320 I could borrow? Steal? Whichever. I'm not picky.

5. That awful movie "Fear" was just on HBO, and now "The Departed" is on FX. Oh Mark Wahlberg. Your dirty Boston self invades my dreams. Delicious.

How much do you think Kel weeps over his career?

Also, I keep watching this. I'm not sure why, because it's not THAT hilarious? But it's funny enough for a couple of viewings and I'm bored at work.



Plus, this week's SNL is hosted by Blake Lively, with performances from Rihanna. Given Rihanna's penchant for wearing things like this ...


... and this ...


... I'm down for watching and hoping for some Janet Jackson-like waldrobe malfunctions.

I will not, however, be tuning into Chris Brown's interview on "20/20" tonight. Honestly, I just don't give a fuck about what he has to say anymore - he's done so much damage-control that I'd rather people just refuse to interview him any longer. Like, I can understand journalistic integrity and objectivity and wanting to give everyone a chance to tell their side of the story, but like, shit. Just let it go! At this point, we're just going to drag the damn story out forever.

/End rant.

Getting down with threepeats.

So a few watchdog organizations - specifically and most vocally, the Parents Television Council - are up in arms over the fact that an upcoming episode of "Gossip Girl" is going to have a threesome. Episode name: "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?" Episode date: Nov. 9. Me: On the couch, frantically watching.

Now, I've heard that it's going to be Dan (Penn Badgely),


Olivia (guest star Hilary Duff)


and Vanessa (Jessica Szohr)


... the three most boring characters on the show. Potentially, then, this could be lame. Theoretically, though, anything that pisses off groups like the PTC is, in my opinion, fantastic.

Let the sexy times begin! And in honor of them, here's Britney Spears' latest single, "3." Didn't you know? Living in sin is the new thing!



Oh jeez, what a trashbox.
